A30484An Earth founded upon the Seas, and establish''d upon the Waters, is not this the Earth we have describ''d?
A30484And have we not the same reason to understand this Temple of the World, whereof S. Peter speaks, to be threefold in succession?
A30484And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?

A30484And to what purpose indeed should he premise the description of those Heavens and Earth, if it was not to lay a ground for this inference?
A30484And what then?
A30484And you are to observe here that the Apostle does not proceed against them barely by authority; for what would that have booted?
A30484Be it so; yet what is the ground of those allusions?

A27207Or, why in Man are the Heart, Liver and Spleen plac''d above the Pancreas, Reins and Bladder?
A27207Quid ergo vero coelo& verâ terrâ in illâ nobis opus erit?
A27207The like may be said of Animals; how many Species of them are there, which seem to be made for Mountains, and Mountains for them?
A27207Thirdly, how should Vegetation have been maintain''d for sixteen Hundred Years, without Rains to refresh the Plants?

A27207quâ cessante propter quam utrumque conditum fuit, an non& ipsa cessare debent?
A30486And if there was no oleagineous matter in the new- made Earth, how came the soil to be so fertile, so fat, so unctuous?
A30486And is not that common receiv''d sence, the sence of the Church?
A30486And to break from the Church in greater points, and scruple it in less, is not this to strain at Gnats, and swallow Camels?
A30486And was that such, as made it necessary to set up a new Hypothesis for explaining the Flood?
A30486And what could hinder their having that practice and experience, if they had an open Sea, and all Iron and other materials, for that use and purpose?
A30486And what does the famous Aristotelian Hypothesis seem to be now, but a mass of Errours?
A30486As to Extraordinary Providence, Is the Theorist alone debarr''d from recourse to it, or would he have all men debarr''d, as well as the Theorist?
A30486Besides, what bounds will you give to these Maritime Mountains?
A30486Besides, what length of time would you require, for the production of these Inland Mountains?
A30486But are they said any where in the story of the Deluge, to have been famish''d?
A30486But if he will not confine their production to Moses''s six days, how does he keep to the Mosaical Hypothesis?
A30486But what''s this to the purpose?
A30486But where, pray, hath he granted, that the motion of the Earth was one of those cases?
A30486But who says so besides himself?
A30486But why not?
A30486Does he expect then that his single word and authority, should countervail all the ancient Translators and Interpreters?
A30486Does it enable him to encounter whole Regiments of Souldiers in his single person?
A30486Does it impower him to carry a Cannon upon his neck?
A30486Either his Hypothesis is more rational than the Church- Hypothesis, or less rational?
A30486For why might not the Rivers of that Earth have Fish in them, as well as the Rivers of this Earth, or as our Rivers now?
A30486If a man had cursed God, or call''d our Saviour an Impostor, what could he have been charg''d with more, than Blasphemy, horrid blasphemy?
A30486If less rational, why does he take us off from a better, to amuse us with a worse?
A30486If so, what was this ordinary supposition: was it not the supposition of the Church?
A30486If so, why doth he use it so much himself?
A30486If this be his rule, to what Texts does there accrue any absurdity or incongruity, by supposing the Sun to move?
A30486In such an uninterrupted Ridge of Mountains, where do the Land- Mountains end, and the Sea- mountains begin?
A30486It is not still as plainly affirm''d, as before, that, according to the Theory, the Ecliptick in the Primitive Earth was its Equinoctial?
A30486It might as well have been askt, says he, why does not the fire make a dough- bak''d loaf swell and ● uff up?
A30486Must not that still be a Postulatum, and an unmerciful one?
A30486Now can he make this answer for his fifteen- Cubit Deluge?
A30486Now those reasons he thought either to be good reasons, or bad reasons: if bad, why did he set them down, or why did he not confute them?
A30486Now what better authorities can he bring us for his translation?
A30486Or if his power be sufficient for such effects, why have we not Mountains made still to this day?
A30486Or to put a slip upon the Crocodile''s neck, and play with him as with a Dog?
A30486Or what mark is there, whereby we may know that they are not all of the same race, or do not all spring from the same original?
A30486Or when the great Gun is fir''d off, to catch the Bullet as it flies, and put it up in his Pocket?
A30486Romances suppose, and Poetical fictions: Will you have your fifteen- cubit Deluge pass for such?
A30486So when God gave Adam dominion over the Fowls, did he mean that he should dive like a Duck, or soar like a Falcon?
A30486The Defender hath made some answer to this question, in these words, The question is put, why have we no Mountains made now?
A30486The dry ground,& c. How does this alter or mend the sence?
A30486Then say I still, why do you desert it, or why do you trouble us with a new one?
A30486These are his words, Is not his distinction equally plain in both cases?
A30486This is a wild step: why 30 hours?
A30486This is fairly to beg the question, and can he suppose the Theorist so easie as to grant this without proof?
A30486This prosperous prevailing error, or mass of errors, was it not espoused and supported by the Church?
A30486To drain it as a Ditch, or to take all its Fry at once in a Dragnet?
A30486Was he to snare the Shark, as we do young Pickarels: or to bridle the Sea- Horse, and ride him for a Pad?
A30486What authority have we then to make this distinction: or to suppose that all the great Mountains of the Earth were not made together?
A30486What is now reply''d to this?
A30486What says the Defence of the Exceptions to this?
A30486When God gave Adam dominion over the Sea, was he to be able to dwell at the bottom, or to walk on the top of it?
A30486When the King makes a Gentleman Lord- Lieutenant of a County, by virtue of his Commission is he presently the strongest man that is in it?
A30486Where then, pray, do these Pillars stand that bear up the Earth?
A30486Where''s the inconsistency of this?
A30486against that supposition?
A30486and his unusual gloss contrary to it?
A30486are they distinguisht from Inland Mountains barely by their distance from the Sea, or by some other Character?
A30486because the literal sence is not to his mind?
A30486or how shall we know where he will stop, in his own way?
A30486or if they bear up the Earth, what bears them up?
A30486that he should swim as naturally as the Swan, and hunt the Kite, or Hobby, as Boys do the Wren?
A30486were they not all made within the six- days Creation?
A30486what are their Pedestals, or their foundations?
A30486when it came first out of a Chaos?
A30486where does Scripture say so: or where does the Theorist say so?
A30486yet suppose it be so, may not the Theorist then enjoy this priviledge of receding from the literal sence upon occasion, as well as the Excepter?
A58185A Subject or Utensil of so various and inexplicable use, who could have invented and formed, but an infinitely wise and powerful Efficient?
A58185Again, in his Book de Fato he smartly derides this fond conceit thus; What cause is there in Nature which turns the Atomes aside?
A58185But how can the Spirits agitated by Heat, unguided by a vital Principle produce such a regular reciprocal motion?
A58185But what rouses the Spirits which were quiescent during the continuance of the foetus in the Womb?
A58185For if it were only for Nutrition, what need of two such great Arteries to convey the Blood thither?
A58185For is it not absurd and incongruous?
A58185For, say they, All the men of the World can not make such a thing as one of these; and if they can not do it, who can, or did make it but God?
A58185How Manifold are thy Works O Lord?
A58185How can all these things put together but beget Wonder and Astonishment?
A58185How much more incredible then is it that Constancy in such a Variety, such a multiplicity of parts should be the result of Chance?
A58185How variously is the Surface of it distinguished into Hills, and Valleys, and Plains, and high Mountains affording pleasant Prospects?
A58185How would he have admired the immense subtilty( as he phrases it) of their Parts?
A58185How, for Himself?
A58185IN these Words are two Clauses, in the first whereof the Psalmist admires the Multitude of God''s works, How Manifold are thy Works O Lord?
A58185If it be asked, why may not Atoms of different Species concur to the composition of Bodies?
A58185If it be once contracted in a Systole by the influx of the Spirits, why, the Spirits continually flowing in without let, doth it not always remain so?
A58185If these Creatures be so exceeding small, what must we think of their Muscles and other Parts?
A58185Lastly, Why else should there be such an instant necessity of Respiration so soon as ever the foetus is fallen off from the Womb?
A58185Now what should take away the sight of these Ships from each other but the gibbosity of the interjacent Water?
A58185Or do they cast Lots among themselves which shall decline, which not?
A58185Or why do they decline the least interval that may be, and not a greater?
A58185Quanta ad eam rem vis, ut in suo quaeque genere permaneat?
A58185The Sea, what infinite variety of Fishes doth it nourish?
A58185Then why should some be very long lived, others only Annual or Biennial?
A58185These are Stones, Metals, Minerals and Salts, In Stones, which one would think were a neglected Genus, what variety?
A58185Thirdly, Let us hence duly learn to prize and value our Souls; is the Body such a rare Piece, what then is the Soul?
A58185Thirdly, The Ear another Organ of Sence, how admirably is it contrived for the receiving and conveying of Sounds?
A58185This Hypothesis which hath some shew of reason, for something must necessarily exist of it self; and if something, why may not all things?
A58185This is our Duty, but alas what is our Practice?
A58185Ubi visum praetendit?
A58185What aileth them that they must needs bestir themselves to get in Air to maintain the Creatures life?
A58185What beauty and elegancy?
A58185What can we infer from all this?
A58185What constancy in their temper and consistency, in their Figures and Colours?
A58185What directs and moderates the motions of the Spirits?
A58185What is the Spring and principal Efficient of this Reciprocation?
A58185What may we make?
A58185What would he have said if he had seen Animals of so stupendous smalness as I have mentioned?
A58185When goods encrease,& c. what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding them with their Eyes?
A58185Why can we imagine all Creatures should be made Male and Female but to this purpose?
A58185Why could they not have rested as well as they did in the Womb?
A58185Why could they not patiently suffer it to die?
A58185Why not two or three minima as well as one?
A58185Why should there be constantly the same Parts?
A58185Why should there be implanted in each Sex such a vehement and inexpugnable Appetite of Copulation?
A58185Why should they be endued with the same Shape and Figure?
A58185Why should they retain constantly the same Places?
A58185You will ask me who or what is the Operator in the Formation of the bodies of Man and other Animals?
A58185You will say to me, how then must our Tongues be employed?
A58185You will say, how shall we manifest our Care of our Souls?
A58185You will say, what Agent is it which you would have to effect this?
A58185and what would he in all likelyhood have made had he seen these incredible small living Creatures?
A58185avidam sanguinis& potissimum humani sitim accendit?
A58185disposuit jejunam caveam uti alvum?
A58185how would he have been rapt into an extasie of Astonishment and Admiration?
A58185in all Assaults and Batteries, in all Murthers and Assassinations, in Thefts and Robberies, what Security would there be to Malefactors?
A58185or how could he then have fed himself?

A50400Is it not without its proper form?
A50400Is not a blow in the eye worse than one upon the arm?
A50400Is not this great blindness?
A50400Is there not much more cause to labour by all means to make hast after our time which we have already lost, which hath long since out- run us?
A50400It may further be demanded, Why earthly Animals were created on the sixt Day?
A50400It may in the next place be demanded ▪ Why God, between the Creation of the Plants, and of Animals, did interpose the Creation of the Stars?
A50400Nay, if any in zeal to Gods glory, and love to the souls of such, shall labour to do them good, what is their answer?
A50400Nay, why art thou not ashamed to do them before the very face, and in the presence of God?
A50400Now, is it not easier for God to be every where at once, ● han for the Sun to make such a speedy course?
A50400Oh learn to prize thy soul, a precious Creature, and immortal Spirit; and make it appear thou makest more reckoning of it than of thy body?

A5818414. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A5818419 Had I not better make sure of what is before me?
A58184A Consequent, or Inference thereupon, What manner of persons ought we to be?
A58184A Sixth Question is, How far shall this Conflagration extend?
A58184And if there were no need of creating more, what likelyhood that there were more created?
A58184And what other End can be given or conceived for the remaining or restoring thereof?
A58184And why may it not?
A58184At what Period of Time shall the World be dissolved?
A58184But do these errours and enormities take away the order of Nature?
A58184But he is just, and doth not make enormous things: or will you blame Nature?
A58184But to this may be replied, If the thing itself be unjust, how can our chusing of it make it just?
A58184But what are any of these Pains to the Torments and Perpessions of Hell?
A58184But what is now become of this huge Mass of Waters, equal to six or seven Oceans?
A58184But why, I beseech you, was Prophecy withdrawn, if Coelestial Oracles were to be continued?
A58184Containing an Answer to the Second Question, Whether shall this Dissolution be effected by natural or by extraordinary Means, and what they shall be?
A58184Containing an Answer to the second Question, Whether shall this Dissolution be effected by natural, or extraordinary means, and what they shall be?
A58184Doth not the Scripture condemn a Whore''s Fore- head?
A58184For had it been miraculous, why should not the Age of the very first Generation after the Flood have been reduced to that Term?
A58184For if the World were to be annihilated, what needed a Conflagration?
A58184For immediately after the Flood the Age of Man did gradually decrease every Generation in great proportions?
A58184For to what end are these Bodies curiously figured and adorned?
A58184For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
A58184For what is the depth of the profoundest Mines, were they a Mile deep, to the Semidiameter of the Earth?
A58184For, say they, what were that but a creation of such individuals?
A58184He that hath devoured shame, what Bridle is there left to restrain him from the worst of evils?
A58184He will be ready thereupon thus to argue with himself, What need I take so much pains to strive against Sin?
A58184How can it be just to annex such a Penalty as eternal Hell to a short and transient offence?
A58184How can it stand with Infinite Goodness to make a Creature that he fore knew would be eternally miserable?
A58184How could he sing a Requiem to his Soul, and say Peace and Safety, when the World so manifestly threatens Ruin about his Ears?
A58184How far shall this Conflagration extend?
A58184How far shall this Dissolution, or Conflagration extend?
A58184How then can they come from God, who by all Mens confession is infinitely Good?
A58184How will the unexpectedness thereof double thy Misery?
A58184How wilt thou then be confounded and astonished, and unable to list up thy Head?
A58184I saw some impressions as big as the Fore- wheel of a Chariot,& c. What shall we say to this?
A58184If all, where shall we find Stowage for them?
A58184If it be said before, he asks, Whether there were a place in it of the figure and magnitude of the Tooth, or did the Tooth make it ● ell a place?
A58184If such things may be done by Art, why may they not also by Nature?
A58184If the Event frustrate thy Hopes, and fall out contrary to thy Expectation?
A58184If the first be said, he demands, Whether the Tophus, out of which they were extracted, were generated before or after the Teeth were p ● riected?
A58184In answer hereto, I demand, what becomes of it in the open Air?
A58184Is it not a true Proverb, Past Shame, Past Grace?
A58184Is it not better to conceal, than to publish ones shame?
A58184Is it not better to reverence Man, than neither God nor Man?
A58184Is not this wise Philosophy?
A58184It may be said, How doth this Dissolution concern us, who may perchance be dead and rotten a thousand Years before it comes?
A58184Let me ask thee, But how if thou shouldest find thy self mistaken?
A58184May not the Stoicks here set in, and help us out at a dead lift?
A58184Nay, I can not see how it can consist with his Veracity not to do it; why then should any Argument from his Goodness move us to distrust his Veracity?
A58184Now had the Creature a power of producing new ones, what need was there that there should be so many at first formed in them?
A58184Now if it be of such eminent use to them, why may it not also be to the Learned and Noble; who, I fear me, may want such a Bridle as well as they?
A58184Now if the Po pours so much Water hourly into the Sea, what then must the Danow and the Nile do?
A58184Of which what Account or Reason can we give, but the motion of the Earth from West to East?
A58184Or lastly, How the several Individuals of these kinds, shall contrary to their primitive Natures, live and dure immortally?
A58184Or must we say with Oriegn, That they are in a mutable state too, and that Heaven will have an end as well as Hell?
A58184Seeing then all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness?
A58184Shall we accuse God the Creator?
A58184Sir, what is this?
A58184So that of such inflictions one may rationally demand, Cui bono?
A58184THE Fifth Question is, At what Period of Time shall the World be dissolved?
A58184THE First Question is, Whether there be any thing in Nature, which may prove and demonstrate, or probably argue and infer a future Dissolution?
A58184THE Third Question is, Whether shall this Dissolution be gradual and successive, or momentaneous and sudden?
A58184The Fifth Question answered; At what Period of Time shall the World be dissolved?
A58184The day of the Lord shall come as a thief,& c. This answers the third Question, Whether the Dissolution shall be gradual or sudden?
A58184The fifth Question debated, At what Period of time shall the World be dissolved?
A58184The fourth Question resolved, Whether shall there be any Signs or Fore- runners of the Dissolution of the World?
A58184The third Question answered, Whether shall the Dissolution be gradual and successive, or momentanouns and sudden?
A58184Then when all the intermediate Bodies shall be annihilated, what a strange Universe shall we have?
A58184These Bodies being found dispersed all over the Earth, they of the contrary Opinion demand how they come there?
A58184They enquire whether the Vegetables, and Creatures endued with Sense shall all be restored, or some only?
A58184This answers the second Question, What the Means and Instruments of this Dissolution shall be?
A58184To him I reply, How then can he confirm the Blessed, reserving their Liberty?
A58184To this Peyerus replies, who then forms, who delineates such monsters?
A58184To what purpose so many words about so trivial a Subject?
A58184V. The first Question concerning the World''s Dissolution, Whether there be any thing in Nature that may probably cause or argue a future Dissolution?
A58184V. The first Question concerning the World''s Dissolution; Whether there be any thing in Nature that may probably cause or argue a Future Dissolution?
A58184WHat were the instrumental Causes or Means of the Flood?
A58184Was it not good Advice of a Cardinal( as I remember) Si nou castè, tamen cautè?

A58184What becomes of the inclosed flame?
A58184What can be worse than an eternal Hell?
A58184What can we say to this?
A58184What do I speak of that Tree?
A58184What have we to do with it?
A58184What horrour will then seize thee, When thy confusion shall be continually before thee, and the shame of thy face shall cover thee?
A58184What is become of all this kind of Ophiomorphite Shell- fish?
A58184What little advantage then can it have of the Earth opposite to it, in point of Preponderancy?
A58184What more common Notion among the Grecians and Romans, than of an Elysium, and Tartarus?
A58184What need I maintain such a constant Watch and Ward against my Spiritual Enemies, the Devil, the World, and the Flesh?
A58184What proportion can there be between a transient and temporary act, and an eternal Punishment?
A58184What reference hath the consideration of Shells and Bones of Fishes petrified to Divinity?
A58184Where is the promise of his coming?
A58184Whereas we see that that generation is long since passed away, and yet the end is not come?
A58184Whether all Animals that already have been, or hereafter shall be, were at first actually created by God?
A58184Whether shall the Dissolution be gradual or sudden?
A58184Whether shall the Heavens and Earth be wholly dissipated and destroyed, or only refined and purified?
A58184Whether shall the Whole World be consumed and annihilated, or only refined and purified?
A58184Whether shall this Dissolution be Gradual and Successive, or Momentaneous and Sudden?
A58184Whether there be any thing in Nature, which might prove and demonstrate; or argue and infer a future Dissolution of the World?
A58184Whether to the Aetherial Heavens, and all the Host of them, Sun, Moon, and Stars, or to the Aerial only?
A58184Whether to the Ethereal Heavens, and all the Host of them, Sun, Moon and Stars, or to the Aereal only?
A58184Whether was God no further concerned in it, than in so ordering second Causes at first, as of themselves necessarily to bring it in at such a time?
A58184Whether was it effected by natural or supernatural Means only?
A58184Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A58184Who can conceive such a small portion of matter to be capable of such division, and to contain such an infinity of parts?
A58184Why should not Nature as well imitate the Horns, Hoofs, Teeth, or Bones of Land Animals, or the Fruits, Nuts, and Seed of Plants?
A58184Why then should we tbink that the entire Skeletons of Fishes found sometimes in the Earth, had no other Original?
A58184Why was Vrim and Thummim taken away, or rather not restored, by their own confession, after the Babylonish Captivity?
A58184Will you lay the fault upon the Plastick vertue or power residing in the Womb or Seed, and acting those things?
A58184You will say, Is it not better to be modest, than to be impudent?
A58184You will say, what is Justice?
A58184You''l demand further, if the Mediterranean evaporates so much, what becomes of all this Vapour?
A58184You''l say, Why then do not great Floods raise the Seas?
A58184ad Orthodoxos, if he be the Author of that Piece, where this Question( When the end of the World should be?)
A58184and consequently, what an Objection against the truth of the Christian Religion?
A58184and particularly, Whether at the end of Six thousand Years?
A58184and why might they not breed them as well afterwards, as at the beginning?
A58184and yet what depth or thickness of Vapours might remain uncondensed in the Air above this Cloud, who knows?
A58184or the duration of ten thousand Years to those Ages of Ages?
A58184or what communion hath light with darkness?
A58184or whether hath he given to each kind of Animal such a power of generation, as to prepare matter and produce new individuals in their own bodies?
A58184or, Whether they be primitive Productions of Nature, in imitation only of such Shells and Bones, not owing their Figure to them?
A58184others as thin as a Groat?
A58184what a delaying of his coming?
A58184what needs this hesitancy and dubitation in a thing that is clear?)
A67686* Am I a Sea, or a Whale?
A67686; So that if a Supposition( which( in the Theorist''s own judgment) is easie, may be but admitted( as why should it not?)
A67686A positive Prediction, say the Atheistical and Incredulous: But how shall it be verified?
A67686And He being in hand with a Law of such consequence to their pretious Souls, who can question but it was worded plainly?
A67686And That, according to other Numbers( for why should it be of a more dilated My stick significancy than the rest?)
A67686And can we think that what we have noted already, should be done by meer accident?
A67686And for what cause?
A67686And how came he to be so?
A67686And how could they help swimming with the general Stream?
A67686And how did these Quails cover the Camp?
A67686And how greatly and exceedingly did they prevail upon the Earth?
A67686And how hard would it have been to have clear''d the ground of it?
A67686And how then can he bar them from it over the Fish till after the Flood?
A67686And how then could their ignorance in the case be wilfull?
A67686And if it was carried about by such a Gyration, how could the face of its Waters be still and equable?
A67686And if the Air were thick and dark then, after the grossest Particles were sunk down: what was it before, when they were but sinking?
A67686And if they be Solid, how could they possibly have descended at last?
A67686And let but the blustring Gales which push them upward, cease; and would they not forthwith stop?
A67686And may not this Earth, in those regards be allowed to vie with that supposititious one und ● r debate?
A67686And must not both of them then be in our neighbourhood at that time?
A67686And of what were they thus ignorant?
A67686And so I demand in the Second place; What does Moses mean, by the Host of the Heavens being finished?
A67686And so what Waters else could they be, save those in the Clouds?
A67686And so what a work must here be done, to make Rivers coetaneous with the Fish we speak of?
A67686And so what will become of, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, all the Fountains of the great Deep?
A67686And so what would have become of the first Covenant with Adam, in case he had stood?
A67686And then as to the rest of those Authors he remembers; how could they understand the thing better than himself?
A67686And then what should have guided them through this burning Tract, where was nothing of Path, or Way- mark to be seen?
A67686And therefore what shift should they have made for Air?
A67686And truly were it not for their Waters so copiously shed down on the Earth, how miserable would the Condition of Mankind be?
A67686And were not these the very circumstances of that Mass, whereon the Primitive Earth was founded?
A67686And what Water so fit for all sorts of Plants, as that which descends from the Clouds above?
A67686And what could be mor ● agreeable to the present Earth?

A67686And what great Deeps could they be, but great deep Caverns in the Rocks?
A67686And what other Host should belong to these Heavens, except the Fowls?
A67686And when GOD created man did he not create this Soul of his?
A67686And when did the lesser begin to rule the Night?
A67686And when was it thus?
A67686And where was darkness said to be before, but upon the face of the deep?
A67686And who that had advanced a few Furlongs into it, could have been able to have gone forward, or to return alive?
A67686And why should he wear the Title of that Nature for an Ornament, who is an Enemy to its excellency?
A67686And why should they not be such Seas as we have now?
A67686And why so?
A67686And yet had they journied without sure conduct, whither might they have wandred?
A67686And yet if he intended any thing else, what could it be but their Creation at that time?
A67686And yet if they were not in being then, how could he describe the Terrestrial Paradise by them, as he does?
A67686And yet if we attend to the first Earth''s Origination, how could it be of an Oval Shape?
A67686But because it does not, how could the Persons whom S. Peter reproves, be wilfully ignorant of the Phaenomenon?
A67686But had it not therefore the nature, vertue, and influence of a Sign, whereby to induce the King to believe the effect?
A67686But how can it be so reasonable according to his Hypothesis?
A67686But how cloud either be done without Iron Tools?
A67686But how did Holy Church receive his Notions of that stamp, and how did she deal with him for their sakes?
A67686But how then could Moses go up to the top of this Mountain?
A67686But how then could it be stretched out upon emptiness and hanged upon nothing?
A67686But is not natural Philosophy then an useful thing, and of great use, according to its Character, in the First Chapter?
A67686But now supposing that the Caverns in the Mountains were this great Deep; how surprizingly do all these things fall in with them?
A67686But since GOD will undertake it, why should it be thought incredible?
A67686But then how could He rebuke them, for being wilfully ignorant of it, it being so very dark a Mystery?
A67686But then might not the whole World be thought the most contentful dwelling for GOD the Vniversal King?
A67686But then why should it not be so with the Earth likewise?
A67686But there might be Days, before there was a Sun( as we have shewed) and so where''s the strength of that Objection?
A67686But what was it that made so learned a Man to argue thus?
A67686But whence sprang this Mistake, of the Stars Superintendency and Sovereign Dominion, save merely from the want of sound Philosophy?
A67686But where would be Winds strong enough to heave them up such watry steepness?
A67686But whereabouts were these to fall?
A67686But why then should they be thought so despicable by the Theorist, as to be unworthy of a particular commemoration by Moses?
A67686But yet let the Clouds we speak of, with- hold their moisture but a few years; and what a rueful change would then appear?
A67686But yield it to have been but half so broad, and what Men could ever have marched over it?
A67686But( in the mean time) if Divine Story proves not such Longaevity common to the Antediluvians; how shall other History do it?
A67686By what means should they have come to the knowledge of that, though they would never so fain have done it?
A67686Else how can Infant Bodies be improv''d into a parity with those of adult Persons?
A67686Especially in such plenty, as to descend from thence in showers?
A67686For Animals they were of so vast Dimensions, that where could they harbour but in spacious Seas?
A67686For besides Scripture( which Iosephus was much better acquainted with than they) what else could give them information in the case?
A67686For do not both inform us, That the City Enoch was built, and the Ark prepared before the Flood?
A67686For grant Adam to have been planted on either side of the Torrid Zone; how should he, or his, have gone through it to the other?
A67686For how could time have been measured out and divided into Years and Months,( as it was in the First World) without their help?
A67686For if she was then placed, where now she is, what hindred but she might have the same Motion which now she has?
A67686For it was to be reared upon the Waters risen out of the Chaos; and were they fit to bear such a mighty Pile?
A67686For the Chaos in the beginning was turned about upon its own Center; else how comes the Earth to be so now?
A67686For they were made upon the Fifth Day, says Moses, and how could there be Rivers so timely according to this new contrivance?
A67686For though ignorant of the things they might well be; yet how could they be WILLINGLY ignorant of them?
A67686For what can m ● re encourage so wicked a person, than to disparage and lessen GOD''s Goodness and Equity?
A67686For when GOD said, Let there be light; where can that Light be thought to have shined more especially, than where he said before there was darkness?
A67686For when was it that the Ark thus rested?
A67686For who ever sewed Sackcloth to his own Skin?
A67686Had there been fair Indications of such a Form, why did they not direct Men into an earlier Discovery thereof?
A67686Herbs, Flowers, Trees, Fruits, Springs, Brooks, Rivers,& c. with what variety, and in what abundance does it send forth?
A67686How close must it have stuck?
A67686How exactly does this suite with the Hypothesis proposed?
A67686How fond and silly the People that believe it?
A67686How thick must it have lain?
A67686How vain and foolish the Religion that teaches it?
A67686If he meant only the Host of the Heavens belonging to the Earth; what was the Host of those Heavens?
A67686If they did not, how came these Particles there?
A67686If they were not pure, then how did GOD create Man in his own Image?
A67686If, Lastly, it be objected; How could Waters come into these Caverns?
A67686In what Books was this Form of the Earth recorded?
A67686In which state of conjunction or immediate vicinity; how could they have subsisted, without preying upon, and destroying one another?
A67686Is it not odd and monstrous strange, that we should have no more to shew for this?
A67686Look into the inspired Story, and what a great deal of miracle shall we see, in the very Praelusories or preparatives to that mighty Inundation?
A67686Must not that be hard to make out?
A67686No Fire can burn for ever; for where should be a supply of Fuel to continue it?
A67686Now how does the Apostle answer and take off this?
A67686Now if the Earth had been drowned the Theory''s way, what need of all this?
A67686Now what is there in all this so difficult or abstruse, as not to be intelligible?
A67686Now where could Fishes of such prodigious greatness, move and multiply, but in vast and open Seas?
A67686Now whither tends this?
A67686Now why did they do this?
A67686Or how can it be otherwise?
A67686Or how can the two Texts, in the Theory''s sense, be reconciled?
A67686Or how did he make Adam u ● right?
A67686Or how did the Curse of GOD take place?
A67686Or if it stood empty, what should have hindred the same Waters from running back into it?
A67686Or in case they had been sufficient; yet being drawn out of the Sea, to drown the Earth, what Waters should have filled the Sea again?
A67686Or what lively Tokens or Monuments were there of it?
A67686Or where should they have met with Intelligence concerning it?
A67686Or who laid the corner stone thereof?
A67686Pursue it but on this part, and how powerful an Argument or Testimony will it be, of the Existence of a GOD?
A67686Quid festinas, ut crudâ adhuc hyeme reviviscat& red ● at?
A67686Secondly, What shame need there have been upon account of nakedness betwixt Husband and Wife, when there were no other People in the World?
A67686So that besides the loss they would have been at for P ● ey, how could they have seen to direct their Motions?
A67686So that unless a miraculous Providence superintended it, how could it be safe?
A67686So that where could be barrenness?
A67686Suppose they had the Direction of Stars by night; yet who, or what should have led their Caravans by day?
A67686That the Earth might be spread, and by degrees raised upon them; Was it not requisite that they should be of a quiet and even surface?
A67686The Sun himself can not be seen through a watry Cloud; how much less the Stars through a watry Ocean?
A67686Though most certain it is, that a River there was in Eden; and in order of Divine Story( and so why not in order of time?)
A67686To what length and breadth do they stretch out themselves?
A67686Was it a pretended sign only, and a meer Cypher and Superfluity?
A67686What abundance of Mud, Slime, and Filthiness, must every where have covered the surface of it?
A67686What can be more clear or express?
A67686What clearer Token would it have been of his Covenant?
A67686What is more wonderful than the Waters standing in the Air?
A67686What prodigiously dull and heavy Figments are these?
A67686What stronger support of Mens confidence in it?
A67686Whence should they have gathered it?
A67686Where is there Fire enough to do it?
A67686Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the Earth?
A67686Where, if the Heavens be Fluid, how could they have kept from falling down, so long?
A67686Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?
A67686Which grant them to have been, and how peculiarly were those Clouds above established( according to Solomon''s word) by GOD himself?
A67686Who can tell what vast and mighty things they are?
A67686Why art thou so hasty, as if it could revive and return, while rawtish Winter lasts?
A67686Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the Dead?
A67686Will it always hold it?
A67686Yea, does it not in some things excel it?
A67686Yea, how could they come down at all?
A67686Yea, perhaps how necessary was it for it to do so?
A67686Yet how subject is Cairo to raging Plagues, and where are greater or oftener Mortalities than there?
A67686Yet if there were Clouds and Rain, how necessarily must the glorious Bow appear, when Showres fell in a just position to the Sun?
A67686Yet what is that Soil, but part of what( upon the exterior Orb''s tumbling into the Abyss) must have been turned up by whole Countries at once?
A67686and how could it possibly rise into such a Chaos, out of a Sun or ● ixt Star?
A67686and how do they cover whole Kingdoms at once with their shady Canopies?
A67686and that no better footsteps of its remembrance should be seen?
A67686and to what length might they have spun out their rangeing Progress, at the shortest too long and tedious to be born?
A67686for a pleasant dwelling place?
A67686having no manner of Light at any time to guide them?
A67686or rather sooner than they, as being much heavier?
A67686or to other Mens Arm- holes?
A67686or who hath stretched the line upon it?
A67686or why might not the ground sink there by an Earthquake, or the like?
A67686thereof, if thou knowest?
A67686〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉,& c. For one might say; To what end was it?
A3049010, 11, 12,& c. compos''d all of Gemms and bright materials, clear and sparkling, as a Star in the Firmament: Who can give an account what that is?
A30490A shadow for a subs ● ● nce?
A30490A very fair Prophecy: but how long will they be a drinking?
A30490All external Nature hath continued the same without any remarkable change or alteration, and why should we believe( say they) there will be any?
A30490All this you''ll say is well, we are got into a pleasant World indeed, but what''s this to the purpose?
A30490An Earth founded upon the Seas, and establish''d upon the Waters, is not this the Earth we have describ''d?
A30490And as to my Understanding, how defective is it?
A30490And as to the Moral state of it, shall we all, on a sudden, become Kings and Priests to God?
A30490And as to the bad Angels, who will give us an account of their Fall, and of their former condition?
A30490And can we believe that those and all the rest were made for us?
A30490And can we call such times the Reign of Christ, or the imprisonment of Satan?
A30490And how little have we learned from them as to the time of that great revolution?
A30490And is it possible to believe, that all Nature, and all Providence, are only, or principally for their sake?
A30490And is this the great Creature which God hath made by the might of his Power, and for the honour of his Majesty?
A30490And lastly, Why it hath stood so long immovable, and without any further diminution?
A30490And now I mention Birds, why could not they at least have flown into the next dry Country?
A30490And now that I do exist, from what Causes soever, Can I secure my self in Being?
A30490And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A30490And so also the Subterraneous waters would lie quiet in their Cells?
A30490And the Prophet Isaiah connects such things with his New Heavens and New Earth, as are not competible to the present state of Nature?
A30490And this makes the Epicurean opinion the more improbable, for why should two rise only, if they sprung from the Earth?
A30490And to what end were they propos''d to us there, if it was not intended that they should be understood, sooner or later?
A30490And to what purpose indeed should he premise the description of those Heavens and Earth, if it was not to lay a ground for this Inference?
A30490And were the Flood- gates of Heaven open''d, and the great Abyss broken up to destroy such an handful of people?
A30490And what then?
A30490And why is not the Second Resurrection and the Day of Judgment yet come?
A30490And with what amazement should we see it under us like an open Hell, or a wide bottomless pit?
A30490And you are to observe here that the Apostle does not proceed against them barely by Authority; for what would that have booted?
A30490Are not the Capacities of Man higher than these?
A30490Are there no bowels of compassion for such an harmless multitude?
A30490As to Iupiter, that Planet without doubt is also turned about its Axis, otherwise how shou''d its four Moons be carried round him?
A30490At this chasm or rupture we suppose the fire would gush out; and what then would be the consequence of this when it came to the surface of the Earth?
A30490Be it so; yet what is the ground of those allusions?
A30490Because a Rock hangs its ● ose over the Sea, must the body of the Earth be said to be stretched over the wàters?
A30490Besides what Fountains, if they were broken up, could let out this water, or bring it upon the face of the Earth?
A30490Besides, What befel this Radical moisture and heat at the Deluge, that it should decay so fast afterwards, and last so long before?
A30490Besides, When were these great Earthquakes and disruptions, that did such great execution upon the body of the Earth?
A30490Besides, Where is the History or Tradition that speaks of these strange things, and of this great change of the Earth?
A30490Besides, do not all Men complain, even These as well as others, of the great ignorance of Mankind?
A30490Besides, what is it, as I ask''d before, that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of?
A30490Besides, what means the disruption of the great Deep, or the great Abysse, or what answers to it upon this supposition?
A30490Besides, who are the rest of the Dead, that liv''d after the expiration of those thousand years, if they begun at Constantine?
A30490But alas, what appearance is there of this Conversion in our days, or what judgment can we make from a sign that is not yet come to pass?
A30490But by whom will it be inhabited?
A30490But how can this be applyed to the present case?
A30490But how past away?
A30490But how, I pray, or where, or when, do the Meek inherit the Earth?
A30490But however, this account being admitted, how will it help us to define what the Age and duration of the World will be?
A30490But is this the form of our Earth, which is neither regularly made within nor without?
A30490But may not the same thing be said of Natural things?
A30490But to know thus much only, doth rather excite our curiosity than satisfie it; what were the other properties of this World?
A30490But to pass from the invisible World to the visible and Corporeal, — Was that made only for our sake?
A30490But what Phaenomenon is there in Nature that proves this?
A30490But what execution in the mean time would it do upon the Body of the Earth?
A30490But whence do they learn this?
A30490But where are the Inhabitants, you''l say?
A30490But where is that necessity in this Case?
A30490But where then, will you say, must we look for it, if not upon this Earth?
A30490But who are these Righteous People?
A30490But who''s wiser for this account, what doth this instruct us in?
A30490But why did I except Angels?
A30490But why may not this be writ in a Vulgar style, as well as the rest?
A30490But why so, pray, what''s the humour of that?
A30490But you will say, it may be, how does it appear, that there will be more frequent Earth- quakes towards the end of the World?
A30490But you''ll say, When they were got thither, what would become of them then?
A30490But, besides this, what warrant have they for this Ascension of the Martyrs into Heaven at that time?
A30490By what Authority then shall we add this New Notion to the History or Scheme of the Millennium?
A30490By what regular action of Nature can we suppose things first produc''d in this posture and form?
A30490Can any body doubt or question, but all these four Texts refer to the same thing?
A30490Can the God of Israel smell a sweet favour from such Sacrifices?
A30490Can we imagine, in those happy Times and Places we are treating of, that things stood in this same posture?
A30490Can we imagine, that it should lie buried for some thousands of years in deep silence and oblivion?
A30490Can we then be so fond as to imagine all the Corporeal Universe made for our use?
A30490Could they compress the Earth any otherwise, than by drying it and making it hard?
A30490Declare if thou hast understanding: Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest; or who hath stretched the line upon it?
A30490Do the Chronicles of the Nations mention these things, or ancient fame, or ancient Fables?
A30490Do the Sun and the Wind use to squeaze pools of Water out of the Earth, and that in such a quantity as to make an Ocean?
A30490For Fountains are broken open no otherwise than by breaking up the ground that covers them?
A30490For otherwise, who are those Iust that shall inhabit the New Earth, and whence do they come?
A30490For to what purpose is it made habitable, if not to be inhabited?
A30490For what is this life, but a circulation of little mean actions?
A30490From what off- spring, or from what Original?
A30490Hath any writ of the Origins of the Alps?
A30490How Mankind past out of that Earth or Co ● tinent where Paradise was, into that where we are?
A30490How Motions are propagated there, and how conserv''d?
A30490How could Fountains rise, or Rivers flow in an Earth of that Form and Nature?
A30490How does it appear by any observation that the Central Fire gains ground upon us?
A30490How does nature feed and satisfie so devouring an Element, and such a great voracity throughout all the World, without loss or diminution of her self?
A30490How doth it include either of them, or hold them any way affixt to its Nature?
A30490How few find the paths of Life?
A30490How few of these Sons of Men, for whom, they say, all things were made, are the Sons of Wisdom?
A30490How freely and unconcernedly does Scripture speak of God Almighty, according to the opinions of the vulgar?
A30490How he still wages War against Heaven, in his exile: What Confederates he hath: What is his Power over Mankind, and how limited?
A30490How he was depos''d: for what Crime, and by what Power?
A30490How high shall this Annihilation reach?
A30490How is that like to Pain, or to a doubt of the Mind?
A30490How is that one of God''s great wonders?
A30490How much of the Universe then will you leave standing: or how shall it subsist with this great Vacuum in the heart of it?
A30490How preposterous would it be to ascribe such a thing to our Maker, and how intolerable a vanity in us to affect it?
A30490How shall this World, all on a sudden, be metamorphos''d into that happy state?
A30490How the manner and process of those miraculous changes in matter, may be conceiv''d?
A30490How then are all former evils past away?
A30490How they answer the several operations of the Mind?
A30490How they stand neglected by Nature?
A30490How unlikely is it then that these Ages were Eternal?
A30490How will it turn to account?
A30490How will they entertain their thoughts, or spend their time?
A30490How would they end or finish their course?
A30490If before, then the old difficulty returns, how could there be a Flood, if the Earth was in this Mountainous form before that time?
A30490If fluid, as the Air or Aether, how could the waters rest upon them?
A30490If his design was only to tell them that Mankind was once destroy''d in a Deluge, what''s that to the Heavens and the Earth?
A30490If one met with this sentence* in a Greek Author, who would ever render it standing in the water and out of the water?
A30490If since the Flood, where were the Waters of the Earth before these Earthquakes made a Chanel for them?
A30490If you will not make it the seat and habitation of the Just in the blessed Millennium, what will you make it?
A30490In Moses Bar Cepha above mention''d, we find a Chapter upon this subject, Qucmodo trajecerint Mortales inde ex Paradisi terrâ in hanc Terram?
A30490In a Society of Saints and purified Spirits, Why should we think their converse impossible?
A30490In what Age of the World was this done, and why not continu''d?
A30490In what year of Rome, or what Olympiad they were born?
A30490Is it not a more reasonable character or conclusion which the Prophet hath made, Surely every Man is vanity?
A30490Is it not fair, to have followed Nature so far as to have seen her twice in her ruins?
A30490Is it possible to believe that one and the same person can act or suffer such different parts?
A30490Is there not more Misery than Happiness: Is there not more Vice than Virtue, in this World?
A30490Lastly, The Timeing of the thing determines the 〈 ◊ 〉 When shall this New World appear?
A30490Lastly, What is this New Jerusalem, if it be not the same with the Millennial state?
A30490Look upon those great ranges of Mountains in Europe or in Asia whereof we have given a short survey, in what confusion do they lie?
A30490May we not then with assurance conclude, that the World hath taken wrong measures hitherto in their notion and explication of the general Deluge?
A30490Motion is nothing but a Bodies changing its place and situation amongst other Bodies, and what affinity or resemblance hath that to a Thought?
A30490Must these all be given up to the merciless flames, as a Sacrifice to Moloch?
A30490Must we not then conclude, that the common explication of the Deluge makes it impossible?
A30490Now what hath local Motion to do with either of these two, Consciousness, or Representativeness?
A30490Or after the Day of Judgment past, and the Saints translated into Heaven, what will be the face of things here below?
A30490Or because there are waters in some subterraneous cavities, is the Earth therefore founded upon the Seas?
A30490Or how they grew from little ones?
A30490Or if the Righteous be translated and delivered from This Fire, what shall become of innocent Children and Infants?
A30490Or if, in point of time, you was free, as to Prophecy; yet how would you adjust it to History?
A30490Or is increased in quantity, or come nearer to the surface of the Earth?
A30490Or that Earthquakes have been in every County, and in every Field?
A30490Or what mark is there of Eternity that is found in this?
A30490Or what place of Scripture can they produce, that says the World, in the last Fire, shall be reduc''d to nothing?
A30490Or when is that Restauration which our Saviour speaks of, wherein those that suffer''d for the sake of the Gospel shall be rewarded?
A30490Or who can make a description of that which none hath seen?
A30490Or who shut up the Sea with doors when it brake forth, as if it had issu''d out of a womb?
A30490Or, after they were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, naturally dead and laid in their graves, were they then regenerate by Faith?
A30490Our Saviour says, When the son of man cometh, shall he find faith upon the Earth?
A30490Secondly, What is it that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of?
A30490Secondly, Why did it fail so much and so remarkably at the Deluge?
A30490Shall not the Iudge of all the Earth do right?
A30490Shall the Sun, Moon, and Stars be reduc''d to nothing?
A30490Shall then the righteous perish with the wicked?
A30490So when Zachary was promis''d a Son, he asketh for a sign, Whereby shall I know this?
A30490Than the nature of Metals and Minerals?
A30490That of the Deluge, Moses calls there Tehom- Rabbah, the Great Abyss; and can there be any greater than the forementioned Mother- Abyss?
A30490That the Eternal Studies of our Forefathers could not effect so much as a few years have done of late?
A30490That there was a Deluge, that destroyed Mankind?
A30490The Earth is the Lord''s, for he hath founded it near the Seas, Where is the consequence of this?
A30490The causes being the same, why doth not the same effect still follow?
A30490The greater half of Mankind is made up of Infants and Children: and if the wicked be destroyed, yet these Lambs, what have they done?
A30490The question is therefore, What will be the ordinary employment of that Life?
A30490Their Pillars, Trophe ● s, and Monuments of glory?
A30490Then as to the Time of this Resurrection of the Church, where will you fix it?
A30490Then how barren, how desolate, how naked are they?
A30490Then, after a Thousand Years must all the wicked be regenerate, and rise into a Spiritual Life?
A30490There was then,''t is certain, long- liv''d men in the World before Iacob''s time; when were they, before the Flood or after?
A30490These are the wonders of the Earth as to the visible frame of it; and who would not be pleas''d to see a rational account of these?
A30490These being then the happy and holy Inhabitants: The next enquiry is, Whence do they come?
A30490These things being swept away, wholly or in a great measure, what will come in their place?
A30490These things have made it a great Problem, What becomes of the water of the Mediterranean Sea?
A30490Thirdly, Why in such proportions as it hath done since the Deluge?
A30490This being admitted, How will you stock this New Earth?
A30490This is all true; but why, and how comes this to pass?
A30490This seems to be a mean comparison, the World and an Egg, what proportion, or what resemblance betwixt these two things?
A30490Thus we are come at length to a fair resolution of that great Question, Whence we are, and how we continue in Being?
A30490To begin with their Ancient CHAOS, what a dark story have they made of it, both their Philosophers and Poets; and how fabulous in appearance?
A30490To break open a Fountain, is to break open the ground that covers it, and what ground covers the Sea?
A30490To this one might answer in short, by another question, How would they have entertain''d themselves in Paradise, if Man had continued in Innocency?
A30490Upon whom all things must wait, to whom all things must be subservient?
A30490VVhat change is wrought in the Brain, and what in the Soul: and how the effect follows?
A30490VVhat the proximate Agent is above Man, and whether they are all from the same power?
A30490VVho will give us the just definition of a Miracle?
A30490Was Sathan then bound?
A30490Was this before the Flood or since?
A30490We say both, according as the Tables shew it?
A30490We that are their posterity, why do not we inherit their long lives?
A30490Were the Martyrs dead in sin?
A30490What a lovely Roof to our little World?
A30490What a miserable account is this?
A30490What a ridiculous account this gives of Scripture- Chronology and Genealogies?
A30490What a surprizing beauty this would have been to the Inhabitants of the Earth?
A30490What appearance is there of this Disruption there, more than in other Places?
A30490What can be a more proper Seminary for Plants and Animals, than a soil of this temper and composition?
A30490What can more excite our curiosity than the flowing and ebbing of the Sea?
A30490What can more properly express the breaking out of the waters at the disruption of the Abyss?
A30490What force could eat away half the surface of the Earth, and wear it hollow to an immeasurable depth?
A30490What hath Providence design''d it for?
