A62397But* is it not daily read( saith he) and heard of all men?
A62397By what Priest?
A62397Did he complain of this counterfeit, or cause him to be punished?
A62397Did you not promise my neighbour mother Dutton to save and rescue her; and yet lo she is hanged?
A62397Do not the Muscovits, and Indian prophets at this day, like apes, imitate Esay?
A62397Dost thou use to draw poor guiltless women to the rack by these forged devises?
A62397Dost thou with such sentences judge others to be Hereticks, thou being more a Heretick than either Faustus, or Donatus?
A62397Doth he not deceive himself and others, and therefore is worthyly condemned for a Witch?
A62397Doth not Daniel the Prophet say, even in this case, It is the Lord only that knoweth such secrets, as in exposition of Dreams is required?
A62397Englished by Abraham Fleming: Regard no Dreams, for why?
A62397Entreth he into the body in one shape, and into the mind in another?
A62397Finally, if the Witch do it not, why should the Witch die for it?
A62397First they asked him, Whether he were one of them that had been buryed in the same place?
A62397First, I ask, What miracle was wrought by their passing through the fire?
A62397For in that case he saith, What have we here?
A62397For the which causes he fell upon her lustily, and at length threw her down to the ground, saying, Art thou come thou cursed Devil, art thou come?
A62397For thus( I say) the said Samuel speaketh, Wherefore dost thou asks of me, seeing the Lord is gone from thee, and is thine enemy?
A62397For when didst thou rise in the morning O Lucifer?
A62397Had not every City in all the Popes Dominions his several Patron?
A62397Had they not he- Idols and she- idols, some for men, some for women, some for beasts, some for fowls?

A62397He said, in Westwell: Where there?
A62397He saith to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring up?
A62397He was further asked, Whether he was damned or no; and if he were, for what cause, for what desert or fault?
A62397How chanceth it that we hear not of this bargain in the Scriptures?
A62397How common an opinion was it among the Papists, that all souls walked on the earth, after they departed from their bodies?
A62397How great?
A62397How hardly will this story suffer discredit, having testimony of such authority?
A62397How hath the Oyl or Pottage of a sodden child such vertue, as that a staffe anointed therewith, can carry folk in the air?
A62397How many?
A62397How unto tales and lies his ears attentive all they can?
A62397How would he have plagued the Devil that threw his God in the River to be drowned?
A62397How( said the King) canst thou do that?
A62397Howbeit, concerning the verity of this Prophesie, there be many disputable questions: First, Whether the battel were fought the next day?
A62397Howbeit, they asked him further, saying, Wilt thou return to these damsels, if we free thee from all concupiscence?
A62397I pray you, is not the converting of water into milk, as hard a matter as the turning of water into wine?
A62397I say, if it be so miserable, why do they place Summum bonum therein?
A62397If Pharaohs Magicians had made very Frogs upon a sudden, why could they not drive them away again?
A62397If our corporal ears be stopped, what can they hear or conceive of any external wisdom?
A62397If they could not hurt the Frogs, why should we think that they could make them?
A62397In Kenington: In what place?
A62397In Westwell, said he: What else hast thou done for her?
A62397In her bed: Where the fourth time?
A62397In the Court: Where the sixth time?
A62397In the field: Where the fifth time?
A62397In the figure of the letter, or in the understanding of the sense?
A62397In the garden, said he: Where the second time?
A62397In the hall: Where the third time?
A62397In the loft: How camest thou to her?
A62397In the water, where I cast her into the mote: Where the seventh time?
A62397In two bottels, said he: Where be they?
A62397Is there any probability that such would continue Witches?
A62397Is this thy Divinity?
A62397It was demanded, who should do the errand to the Popes Holiness?
A62397May a spiritual body become temporal at his pleasure?
A62397More than a year, said he: Where was that?
A62397Must he be religious or secular?
A62397My question is not( as many fondly suppose) Whether there be Witches, or nay?
A62397Nay, why do they not cast out the Devil that possesseth their own souls?
A62397O My God my God, look upon me, why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farr from my health, and from the words of my complaint?
A62397O thou Son of God, why comest thou to molest us( or confound us) before our time appointed?
A62397One old Witch might over- throw an Army Royal: and then what needed we any Guns, or wild- fire, or any other Instruments of war?
A62397Or a better Sowgelder than S. Anthony?
A62397Or a better Toothdrawer than S. Apolline?
A62397Or can a man go upon coals, and his feet net be scorched?
A62397Or how can she in the midst of such horrible tortures and torments, promise unto her self constancy; or forbear to confess any thing?
A62397Or is it not granted that they make none?
A62397Or may a carnal body become invisible?
A62397Or such a whore as S. Bridget?
A62397Or that our Witches, which can not do so much as counterfeit them, can kill cattel and other creatures with words or wishes?
A62397Or what needed such preparation of wars, or such trouble, or charge in that behalf?
A62397Or, an Asse to be the child of God, and God to be his Father, as it is said of man?
A62397Satan, said he: What doth old Alice call thee?
A62397Secondly, Whether all his sons were killed with him?
A62397Secondly, Whether those Spirits be of the same power that God is, who is everywhere, filling all places, and able to hear all men at one instant?
A62397The Cousener asked how old his Daughter was?

A62397The melancholick person musing her eat, asked him the cause why he so demeaned himself?
A62397Their potable liquor, which, they say, maketh Masters of that faculty, Is it not ridiculous?
A62397Then we asked him, What she did give him: He said, Her will, her will: What did she bid thee do?
A62397There is also some question in the Romish Church, Whether the Sacrament of the Altar is to be received before or after the Exorcism?
A62397To what use then served her familiar spirit, which you conceive she had, because Sauls servants said so?
A62397WHat need many words to confute this fable?

A62397Was there a better Horseleech among the gods of the Gentiles than S. Loy?

A62397We asked him again, Where else?
A62397We asked him where she did keep him?
A62397Were it not( think you) a strange Proclamation, that no man( upon pain of death) should pull the Moon out of Heaven?
A62397Were there not* three images of late years found in a dunghil, to the terrour and astonishment of many thousands?

A62397What absurdities concerning Witchcraft are written in The Laew of the Twelve Tables, which was the highest and most ancient Law of the Romans?
A62397What an impiety is it to affirm, that an Asses body is the temple of the holy Ghost?
A62397What bargain maketh the Sooth- sayer, which hath his several kinds of Witchcraft and Divination expressed in the Scripture?
A62397What can be made but a Conjuration of these words also, which are written in the Canon, or rather in the Saccaring of Masse?
A62397What could Samuel have said more?
A62397What effect( I pray you) had the seven sons of Sceva, which is the great objection of Witchmongers?
A62397What firm bargain can be made betwixt a carnal body and a spiritual?
A62397What i st?
A62397What is it?
A62397What is not to be brought to pass by these Incantations, if that be true which is attributed to Witches?

A62397When the power of God is so impudently transferred to a base creature, what good Christian can abide to yield unto such miracles wrought by fools?
A62397Where are the Souls that made such moan for Trentals, whereby to be eased of the pains in Purgatory?
A62397Where are the Spirits?
A62397Where are the souls that swarmed in times past?
A62397Where be the Spirits that wandered to have burial for their bodies?
A62397Where is Bodins distinction now become?

A62397Wherefore camest thou?
A62397Wherefore liest thou in Purgatory?
A62397Wherefore serveth our Philosophers prudence, but to provide for their own folly and misery; whereby they might else be utterly overthrown?

A62397Which when he saw, he was abashed, and said; In the name of God, what make I here?
A62397Which when it is most usual and proper, why should the Translators take it in a signification less usual, and nothing proper?
A62397Whither the Devil will this Asse?
A62397Who but he can declare, set in order, appoint, and tell what is to come?
A62397Who heareth their noises?
A62397Who seeth their Visions?
A62397Who would think that a Serpent should abandon the shadow of an Ash?
A62397Why do they not lye along upon the dead, because Paul raised up a dead child by that means?
A62397Why should any Occurrent or Augury be good, because it cometh out of that part of the Heavens, where the good or beneficial Stars are placed?
A62397Why should not the devil be as ready to help a theef really as a witch?
A62397Why should not this be as substantial and corporal a spirit, as that wherewith the Maid in the Acts of the Apostles was possessed?
A62397Why then do they conjure wholesome creatures, as Salt, Water,& c. where no Divels are?
A62397Why( quoth Balbine) what time is required in the accomplishment of this work by way of Longation?
A62397Wilt thou have any Fasts?
A62397Witch be thought as cunning as Apollo?
A62397Yea, had they not for every small Town, and every Village and Parish( the names whereof I am not at leisure to repeat) a several Idol?
A62397Yea, if they were sensible, they would say to the Devil, Why should I hearken to you, when you will deceive me?
A62397also, What he meant by that noise and stirre he kept there?
A62397and, why not every counterfeit cosener, as good a Witch as Mother Bungie?
A62397but, Whether they can do such miraculous works as are imputed unto them?
A62397doth God take any care of Oxen?
A62397or sir Feats, or sir John, or sir Robert?
A62397or, was this Asse a Man?
A62397or, what need he tell the Devil thereof, when the Devil told it him before, and with much more expedition could have done the errand himself?
A62397or, whether it were for Heresie, or the Sect of Luther newly sprang up?
A62397said we: A man and his child, said he: What were their names?
A62397said we: At her Master Brainfords at Kinington, said he: How oft wert thou there?
A62397said we: At her Masters, said he: Which Masters?
A62397said we: Because God kept her, said he: When camest thou to her?
A62397said we: Because she did not love her, said he: We said, How long is it ago, since she sent thee to her?
A62397said we: Edward Ager, said he: What was the mans name?
A62397said we: He said, Kill her maid: Wherefore did she bid thee kill her?
A62397said we: He said, Little Devil: What is thy name?
A62397said we: Her will, said he: How many hast thou killed for her?
A62397said we: In Westwel- street, said he: We said, How long hast thou been with her?
A62397said we: In the Vicarige, said he: Where there?
A62397said we: In the backside of her house, said he: In what place?
A62397said we: In the likeness of two birds, said he: Who sent thee to that place?
A62397said we: Many times, said he: Where first?
A62397said we: My servant, said he: What is his name?
A62397said we: Old Alice, said he: What other Spirits were with thee there?
A62397said we: Old Alice, said he: Where dwelleth she?
A62397said we: Partner, said he: What doth she give thee?
A62397said we: Richard Ager, said he: Where dwelt the man and the child?
A62397said we: Richard, said he: What more?
A62397said we: The childs name was Edward, said he: What more then Edward?
A62397said we: Three, said he: Who are they?
A62397said we: To fetch her meat, drink, and corn, said he: Where hadst thou it?
A62397said we: Under the wall, said he: Where is the other?
A62397said we: What she would have me, said he: What is that?
A62397said we: Woltons wife, said he: Where did she dwel?
A62397said we?
A62397said we?
A62397that he slept?
A62397that they can change water into Wine: and, What is it to attribute to a Creature, the power and work of the Creator, if this be not?
A62397three, six, ten, twenty, thirty,& c?
A62397whether for Covetousness, or wanton lust, for Pride or want of Charity?
A62397whether it were to have the body now buryed in holy ground to be digged up again, and laid in some other place?
A42781& c. Can such an Heart as thine be the Temple of the Holy Ghost?
A42781''T is now time to speak to the other Question, which is, Whether and how far Satan knows things to come?
A42781( When they propound that Question, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?)
A42781( say they) can he judge through the dark clouds?
A42781( where the account of that tempting is given)''t is said, because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not?
A4278110. describes him by these neglects of Duty, Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
A4278141. while some were convinced and said, This is the Christ, others said, shall Christ come out of Galilee?
A427819. Who can know it?
A42781A Proud Heart will readily say, our Tongue is our own, or who is the Lord?
A42781A tedious task?
A42781Am I a Sea, or a Whale, that thou settest a Watch over me?
A42781Among the Papists what less can be expected, when the same principle is entertained among them?
A42781And can you think to break away from me so easily?
A42781And then he Queries, Art thou such an one?
A42781And then to what purpose( say they) is Prayer, or any endeavours?
A42781Are not these unreasonable injunctions, Pray continually, Pray without ceasing; Preach in season and out of season?
A42781Art thou not grown stupid, and senseless of all the hazards that are before thee?
A42781Art thou not ready to tax him for dealing thus with thee?
A42781Art thou that Prophet, and that Man ordained to Judg the World?
A42781As David said to the Woman of Tekoah, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this?
A42781At what a loss is an unskilful Travellour, where so many wayes meet?
A42781Besides( saith he) thou knowest the secret thoughts that thy Heart is privy to, do they not boyl up in thy Breast against God?
A42781Besides, who can tell how much of God''s restraining grace may ly in this, of God''s limiting and straitning Satan''s Commission?
A42781But Enquiry may be made, When do men run( uncalled and) unwarrantably upon Temptation?
A42781But I have done so, and yet the Temptation is the same, and still continues?
A42781But O how sadly is all this hindered by the disquiet of the Heart?
A42781But how few are there that do thus know?
A42781But how happy would it be for Men, if such failures of expectation might better inform them?
A42781But how is it consistent with Truth that the Temptation should continue, when James tells us, that Satan will fly upon Resistance?
A42781But it will be said, Satan pretends to this Rule, and it is Scripture that is urged by him?
A42781But some( possibly) may say, Is it our Duty to sit still in such a case?
A42781But the great Question is, What is this fear that is forbidden, and the Courage which is enjoined?
A42781But the great difficulty is, how it may be known when Temptations are from Satan, and when from our selves?
A42781But what occasioned all this?
A42781But when we come to an impartial consideration of our manifold weaknesses and insufficiences in reference to these Services, what shall we say?
A42781But who then inflames and stirs up the Heart to this Wickedness?
A42781But you will say, Must all Men be confident of Adoption?
A42781But( it may be further urged) must we when all Means fail, positively Trust in God for those very things which we might expect in an ordinary way?
A42781But( may some say) If I judge such a motion to be a thing lawful, which doth proceed from Satan, What am I to do?
A42781By this means he may widen the distance betwixt God and us, keep our Wounds open, make us a reproach to Religion: And what not?
A42781Can Christ lodg in an Heart so full of horrid Blasphemies against him?
A42781Can God prepare a Table in the Wilderness?
A42781Can the Gifts of Enemies pass for Courtesies and Favours with any, but such as are bewitched into a blockish madness?
A42781Can we reckon how often Satan hath been at this work?
A42781Canst thou deny this?
A42781David resolved, and strenuously endeavoured, to possess his Soul in Serenity and Patience,( for what could be more, than solemn engagement?
A42781Did I not compel Peter to deny his Lord, notwithstanding his solemn profession to the contrary?
A42781Did I not force those that were stronger than you?
A42781Did I not make David number the People?
A42781Did I not overcome him in the matter of Uriah?
A42781Did the Heathen erect Images and Pillars, or keep the Ashes and Shrines of their Daemons?
A42781Did the Heathen expect more particular aids from some of these Daemons in several cases than from others?
A42781Doth he not carry a Design in his Mind for Months and Years against us?
A42781Doth he not come again and again, with often and impudently repeated Importunities?
A42781Eightly, Satan urged some of them in a during provoking way; If thou be the Son of God?
A42781Every Christian should say, shall such an one as I fly?
A42781First, from an Ignorance of the thing it self: how easily may they be Imposed upon, who know not the nature, or the usual Issues of things?
A42781First; Whether Satan knows our Thoughts?
A42781For can it be imagined in good earnest that Satan intends us a real good?
A42781For who can alter his Decree?
A42781For who can easily bear the noise of Satan while he shouts continually into their Ears odious Calumnies, and Blasphemous Indignities against God?
A42781For why should God look upon thee more than another?
A42781God himself owns it as a natural impossibility, Can the Ethiopian change his skin?
A42781God''s question concerning Job, Hast thou considered my Servant Job?
A42781Had the Heathen their Feasts, their Statas ferias to their Daemons?
A42781Had the Heathens their dead Hero''s for Agents''twixt the supream Gods and Men?
A42781Had they any more Holiness than they needed?
A42781Had they their Februalia& Proserpinilia with Torches and Lights?
A42781Hath the Lord forgotten to be Gracious?
A42781Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?
A42781Have they been able to rescue themselves?
A42781Have those that have gone before you been able to deliver themselves from me?
A42781He clave the Rock, but can he provide Flesh?
A42781He complains as one utterly forsaken, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781He is a jealous God, and will by no means acquit the guilty; Canst thou then with any shew of reason, conclude thy self to be his Child?
A42781His Interrogation, Will the Lord cast off for ever,& c?
A42781How astonishingly doth Spira speak to this purpose?
A42781How canst thou deny this?
A42781How come Men to put on a savage Nature, to act the part of Lions, Leopards, Tigars, if not much worse?
A42781How common is it with them to play tricks with Women troubled with Hysterical Distempers?
A42781How couragiously did they suffer the sharpest Torments?
A42781How do ye stand?
A42781How doth God know?
A42781How easily he got him to the roof of the house in order to the Object to be presented to him?
A42781How easily then is it for Satan to set our thoughts off our Work?
A42781How easily then may Satan possess the Fancies of Men with Blasphemies?
A42781How fair do they lye open to any conceit that may serve this end?
A42781How fitly doth he resemble us to Children?
A42781How frequently did the Prophets tax the Jews for this, that they fasted to themselves?
A42781How frequently is this seen among Professors, where the Word hath a searching power and force upon them?
A42781How grateful and welcome the confident proffers of ease and satisfaction are to a tossed and disquieted mind any Man will easily imagine?
A42781How grievous must it be to a Child of God, to have his Ear chained to these intollerable ingrateful Reproaches?
A42781How hard is it to conclude, what is the Minimum quod sic; the lowest degrees of true Grace?
A42781How he directs his Eye, wrought upon his Passions, suggested the Thought, contrived the Conveniencies?
A42781How impossible is it to cast up the total Sum of so many large Items?
A42781How is Satan pleased to labour in a Design that will kindle the Wrath of the Almighty?
A42781How like a Convert did Saul look, after David had convinced him of his integrity, and had spared his life in the Cave?
A42781How little can a sickly Body do?
A42781How many have I known, that have been tortured with these Texts, judging their Estate fearful, because of their wilfulness in sinning?
A42781How many have apostatised from Truth( being terrifyed by the urging necessities of danger) contrary to the highest Convictions of Conscience?
A42781How many mournful examples have we of this kind?
A42781How many things do common Juglers by the swift motions of their Hands, that seem incredible?
A42781How often have I heard Christians complaining thus?
A42781How open are the Breasts of troubled Creatures to all these Darts?
A42781How quickly had this Leaven spread it self in the Church of Galatia, even to Paul''s wonder?
A42781How sad is this Trouble?
A42781How severely did Christ condemn the Pharisees upon the same account?
A42781How shameful and abominable were the Lives of John of Leyden, and the rest of those German Enthusiasts?
A42781How slyly and secretly doth he put us upon what he intends as a further snare?
A42781How suddenly are all things changed?
A42781How weak and childish are Sinners that suffer themselves thus to be abused?
A42781I said I will look to my ways, and what endeavours could be more severe, than to keep himself as with Bit and Bridle?
A42781I see sin is a strong in me as ever?
A42781If Art can do all this, how much more may we suppose can Satan do?
A42781If Men give way to this, what reason can be imagined to stand before them?
A42781If a Man sets his Face toward Heaven, thus he endeavours to scare him off; Is not( saith he) the way of Religion a dull, melancholy way?
A42781If all these particulars be weighed, what presumptuous act can be propounded by Satan which Pride may not lead to?
A42781If any put that Question to him, which the Jews did to Christ; By what Authority dost thou these things?
A42781If any question, how can these things be?
A42781If any yet further enquire, how he can do these things?
A42781If but few are saved, a thousand to one thou art none of them?
A42781If it be demanded, How and by what Arts he renders the Means so plausible?
A42781If it be questioned, What Satan''s Authority is?
A42781If it was so great a mischief to Eve in Innocency( as hath been said) to delay her peremptory denial, of how much greater hazard is it to us?
A42781If not, where is thy Grace?
A42781If the Shallow Brooks be too strong for us, what shall we do in the swellings of Jordan?
A42781If these Priviledges and Mercies will not discourage Satan, what will?
A42781If thou beest indeed such as he testifyed, give some proof of it?
A42781If we look into our selves we find it true, to our no small trouble and hazard: Doth he at any time easily desist, when we give him a Repulse?
A42781If we slacken our Care never so little they recoyle, and tend to their old Byas; and how easie is it for him to take off our hand?
A42781In Popery nothing hath been more ordinary; who knows not the Story of the Holy Maid of Kent, and the Boy of Bilson?
A42781In other places of the World, how long such things continued, who can tell, especially seeing they were found at Carolina not so very long since?
A42781In the Apostles times, how quickly had the Devil broached false Doctrine?
A42781Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress?
A42781Is it not Satan?
A42781Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub?
A42781Is it possible it should be Washed and Sanctified, when it produceth such filthy cursed thoughts?
A42781Is not here the Voice of a despairing Man?
A42781Is not this Scripture?
A42781Is not this thy fear, thy Confidence, thy Hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
A42781Is not thy Heart hardned to everlasting destruction?
A42781Is there any sorrow like to my sorrow?
A42781Is there knowledg in the most High?
A42781It is not a toile?
A42781Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be Reproabates?
A42781Let it( I say) be left to the consideration of Men, how it should be, without some such extraordinary Cause as hath been mentioned?
A42781Lord, why castest thou off my Soul, why hidest thou thy Face from me?
A42781Many such fits David had, and in them, complained at this rate, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781Nay how impossible is it, to make that expression of the Apostle,[ he was tempted in all points like as we are,] to agree to an imaginary Temptation?
A42781Now, albeit there are arguments at hand, and serious considerations to deter us from practice, yet how are all laid aside by a quick resolve?
A42781O Fiatres adjuvate me, nepeream, nonne vid ● tis Daemonum agmina, qui me debellare,& ad Tartara ducere festinaut, quid hic astas cruenta bestia?
A42781Of the same extract is that old song of the Papists, Where was your Religion before Luther?
A42781Or the Maximum quod sic; the highest degree of sin, consistant with true Grace?
A42781Or, If I have, what is that to you?
A42781Or, what will become of me?
A42781Quis est ille Deus, ut serviam illi?
A42781Satan goes on: What greater evidence can there be of an hardned Heart, than Impenitency?
A42781Secondly, But in things doubtful, where there is not a clear certainly, what is Truth?
A42781Shall we Sin, that Grace may abound?
A42781Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A42781Shall we think it strange that Satan hath ways of conveying false apprehensions upon Mens minds?
A42781Sixthly, All this might be futher proved by Instances: What Temptation can be named wherein Satan hath not acted as a Serpent?
A42781So here is also an evident respect to God''s Testimony concerning, Christ, as if he had said, hath God said, thou art his Son?
A42781So may we say, is not the hand of Satan with thee in every Sin thou committest?
A42781So that if Adam in Innocency understood the Nature of Things, how much more exactly and fully must we imagine Satan to know them?
A42781Solomon''s exclamination, a wounded Spirit who can bare?
A42781Some make enquiry what may be the difference betwixt a wounded Spirit, in the Regenerate and the Reprobate?
A42781Some may possibly question, Whether all extraordinary Agonies of Soul, upon the apprehension of eternal Damnation, be not the fruits of Melancholy?
A42781The Devil expresseth a disdain and scorn of our weak opposition, as Goliah did of David, Am I a Dog, that thou comest to me with Staves?
A42781The Devil suggests, Can God be faithful, and never keep Promise for help?
A42781The Heart is deceitful above all things: But why is the deceitfulness fixed upon the Heart?
A42781The Heavens are not clean in his sight, how much more abominable and filthy then art thou?
A42781The Scripture affords enough of this nature, as the Boast of Nebuchadnezzar; Is not this great Babel that I have built?
A42781The Wrath of God expressed to the Conscience, brings the greatest Terrour; Who knows the power of thine Anger?
A42781The acknowledgment of the Witches Power,[ Why hast thou disquieted me?]
A42781Therefore say they unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes; who is the Almighty that we should serve him?
A42781These if they meet with Pains or Troubles,( and who can challenge an exemption from them?)
A42781Thirdly; That Malice must needs be great, that will pursue a small matter: what small game will the Devil play, rather than altogether sit out?
A42781This disorder of Thoughts Christ took notice of in his Disciples when they were in danger, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A42781This may put Men upon enquiries, who are ye for?
A42781This was the Voice of Pride in Pharaoh, Who is the Lord, that I should serve him?
A42781Thou canst not mourn enough?
A42781Though I speak, my Grief is not asswaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased?
A42781Thus he pleads it; Can any thing be more plain, than that thou hast eaten and drunken unworthily?
A42781Thus he urgeth it, Can any thing be more plainly and fully asserted?
A42781To come without an Heart, or with our Idols in our Heart, is it any thing of less scorn than to say, Tush, doth the most High see?
A42781To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices?
A42781Upon this supposition, that these Texts speak of wilful sinning in the General; How little can be said against Satan''s Argument?
A42781Upon this the Devil starts the question to his Heart, whether it be not better to forbear all Duty, and to do nothing?
A42781Was he real in that command, that you should not Eat at all,& c. the like he doth to Christ, Is it true?
A42781Was it that Satan thought to prevail against him?
A42781We can scarce imagine what ways he hath to divert and hinder them, by what private discouragements he doth defer them, who can tell?
A42781Were it not better to work with our hands for a Morsel of Bread, for so might our Sleep be sweet to us at Night, and we should not see these sorrows?
A42781Were we free, what Calling would we not rather chuse?
A42781What Songs of rejoycing had they?
A42781What a fit of affection had the Israelites when their Eyes had seen that miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea?
A42781What a stupifaction are our Spirits capable of?
A42781What better have the Familists, and Libertines of New and Old England been?
A42781What can Humility, Modesty, and sense of Guilt, speak in such a case?
A42781What could be more the Devil''s design, and Esau''s satisfaction, than to have had Jacob slain?
A42781What duty is there that is not neglected or defiled?
A42781What expectation could he have to prevail against him, who was Anointed with the Oyl of Gladness above his Fellows?
A42781What fear and jealousie must this produce?
A42781What greater hinderance can there be to Conversion, than Errour?
A42781What grief of heart?
A42781What have I do with thee?
A42781What is Christian Reproof, if it be not rightly suited to season, and opportunity?
A42781What is this untowardness, but desperate obdurateness?
A42781What progress then in this work of delusion might be expected, when they were all removed out of the World?
A42781What rages, outrages, Madnesses, and extravagances have Men run into?
A42781What shall we say of these things?

A42781Where speaking, that our unrighteousness did commend the righteousness of God, he falls upon that reply, Why then am I judged as a sinner?
A42781Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
A42781Whether all distresses of Soul arise from Melancholy?
A42781Which, how apt it is( when fretted with Vexation) to entertain harsh thoughts of God?
A42781While they were in the highest admiration of the kindness, saying, What shall I render to the Lord?
A42781Who can say, he is certainly excluded out of God''s Decree?
A42781Who can suppose less in this matter, than that Satan, having him at advantage, hurried him to this rashness?
A42781Who can understand it truly, but he that feels it?
A42781Who could be more confident than Peter, that he would not deny his Master, whatever others did, and yet how soon did his Heart fail him?
A42781Who could have thought Joash had been so much under Satan''s power, that had observed his ways all the time of Je oiada the Priest?

A42781Who shall declare it fully to the Sons of Men, to bring these hidden things to light?
A42781Who suspects not the hand of Satan in this?
A42781Who then is the proper Author of Deceit but he?
A42781Who will neglect a spark upon dry Tinder,( that would not have it consumed) and not instantly put it out?
A42781Who will permit Leaven to remain in that Mass, which he desires may not be leavened, and not quickly remove it?
A42781Who will suffer a seditious Incendiary in an Army, formerly inclined to Mutiny?
A42781Who would not be weary of their Lives, that must be forced to undergo this Vexation still without intermission?
A42781Who would not wonder to hear the Replies that some will give to the arguings of their Friends, that labour to comfort them?
A42781Why art thou cast down, O my Soul?
A42781Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my Roaring?
A42781Why castest thou off my Soul?
A42781Why castest thou off my Soul?
A42781Why did I not give up the ghost, when I came out of the belly?)
A42781Why died I not from the Womb?
A42781Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us?
A42781Will the Lord cast off for ever?
A42781With what Face or Hope can we expect from God help against these, when we provoke him to leave us to our selves, by indulging our selves in the other?
A42781With what confidence and security will Sin be practised when an Opinion signs a Warrant, and pleads a Justification for it?
A42781Would Wise, Sober, holy Men have said or done such things, if they had not been transported beyond themselves?
A42781Would he continue them long under their sorrows, or take them upon all occasions at his pleasure, or act them to a greater height than ordinary?
A42781Would he terrifie by Fears, or distress by Sadness?
A42781Would it then be fit to give Satan this advantage?
A42781Ye shall know them by their Fruits: Do Men gather Grapes of Thornes, or Figs of Thistles?
A42781You may say, What is there of direction for us in this Case?
A42781You will say, How must we try?
A42781and a condition which will make you a terrour to your selves, and a burthen to others?
A42781and also concludes him to be wicked, Who ever perished being innocent?
A42781and brought forth fruit to themselves?
A42781and by putting out his Power do a thousand things astonishing and wonderful?
A42781and can this be Errour, where there is so much Holiness?
A42781and commits a rape by a malicious violence upon their Imaginations?
A42781and if not, then what may the difference be betwixt those that proceed from Melancholy, and those that are properly the Terrours of Conscience?
A42781and in such cases, what can ordinarily hinder a belief that they hear or see such things?
A42781and such Hatred, Contradictions, Scorns, and Injuries from Enemies?
A42781and that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands?
A42781and the Sabbath, that we may set forth Wheat?
A42781and then''t is easy for the Devil to add, And why do you wait on the Lord any longer?
A42781and to pretend the casting out of Devils, when they have only to deal with a natural Disease?
A42781and where were the righteous cut off?
A42781and wherefore am I thus disquieted with Monsters?
A42781and who knoweth us?
A42781and who shall deliver thee out of my hand?
A42781and why art thou disquieted within me?
A42781and yet what more presumptuous?
A42781are not his Mercies clean gone?
A42781are they all Damned?
A42781can he be merciful when he turns away his ears from the cry of the miserable?
A42781can you be in love with an heart loaden with grief, and perpetual fears almost to distraction?
A42781can you eat Ashes for Bread, and mingle your Drink with Tears?
A42781can ● e give Bread?
A42781cur non me carcere, inediâ, squalore consectum liberat?
A42781doest thou think to stand it out against me?
A42781doth not the fear that is in thy heart shew an unwillingness; mayest thou not plead, the evil that I would not do, that do I?
A42781except we also say, that we are only tempted visionarily and not really?
A42781hast thou considered him as thou usest to do?
A42781hast thou not already consented?
A42781hast thou not tasted and seen?

A42781how can he steal a Temptation upon us with such secresie?

A42781how sadly afflicting would it be for any Child of God to observe such things in his own Imaginations?
A42781how unawares, while we think of no such thing, are we carried sometime upon the borders of Sin, and into the enemies quarters?
A42781how would nature reluct and abominate the drinking down of noisome pudled Water, or the swallowing of Toads and Serpents?
A42781if thou yield, will not God account it a rape upon thine integrity?
A42781is his Mercy clean gone for ever?
A42781is it not easy for him to convey Voices to the Ear, or shapes and representations to the Eye?
A42781might reap from this, that Christ imagined himself to be tempted, when really he was not so?
A42781no surely, do we not see that the Senses may be cheated, and that the Fancies of Men may be corrupted?
A42781or can it be so as that Voice declared, that thou art the Son of God?
A42781or to admit him so far into our reasoning?
A42781or was he unwilling to part with what he so liberally proffered?
A42781or what it must cost?
A42781or wherein was the Messenger to be blamed?
A42781or whether we did not wander from the beginning?
A42781or, Who gave thee this Authority?
A42781or, are you wiser than your Fathers?
A42781quid proderit si oraverim?
A42781shews indeed what he did once think, being misled by Satan, but withal that he would never do so again, Will the Lord cast off for ever?
A42781si presens est cur non succu ● ris?
A42781that is, is all thy Religion come to this?
A42781that it was a weaning and tyring out the Patience of a long- suffering God; Is it a small thing for you to weary Men, but will you weary my God also?
A42781the great Power of Satan; who can tell the extent of it?
A42781they sin, though with reluctancy, and doest not thou resist?
A42781to what purpose was it made, if it might not be tasted?
A42781what Defiances?
A42781what Fierceness, Prejudices, Slanders, Evil- surmises, Censurings, and Divisions hath this brought forth?
A42781what Sin that is not some way or other committed?
A42781what advantage is it that we have thus run, and laboured, when we have got nothing?
A42781what are your resolutions, and undertakings?
A42781what bandying of Parties against Parties, Church against Church, hath been produced by this Engine?
A42781what care could be more hopeful to succeed, than to be dumb with silence?)

A42781what resolves never to distrust him again?
A42781what sad thoughts have they then of themselves?
A42781when all the usual ways of supply fail us, must nothing be attempted?
A42781where are his Promises?
A42781where is his pity when he multiplies his wounds without cause?

A42781who can stand before such an holy Lord God?

A20000Againe, could any true liuely forme of a naturall serpent, be possibly giuen to the twig of a tree: by any possible power of either angel, or diuel?
A20000Againe, if you take Diuels to be but the good, or euill motions in men: what thinke you that tempter was, who tempted Christ in the wildernes?
A20000Ah, what haue we to doe with thee o Iesus of Nazareth: art thou come to destroy vs?
A20000Ah, woe woorth thee?
A20000An infirmitie say you?
A20000And how did he binde him?
A20000And how is it possible the diuel should accomplish these fearefull effects in any mans mind, but by an actuall possession at least?
A20000And how those Scriptures are to be vnderstood, which many produce for that purpose?
A20000And how those places of Scripture are to be taken, which manie produce for that purpose?
A20000And in verie deed, I see not to what purpose we should yeeld him any mentall possession at all?
A20000And now( gentle Reader) least happily the curious sort should cry out and say, Quid de pusillis tam ● magna prooemia?
A20000And tel me( I pray you) whether spirtts and diuels( by very natural, or corporall meanes) may be truely dispossessed, and driuen from men?
A20000And therefore, doe tell me here, what you meane by satan his putting the serpents body vpon him?
A20000And therefore, how durst you so boldly aduenture, to thrust your sickle into another mans haruest?
A20000And therefore, how is it possible the diuel should essentially assume to himselfe the bodie of Samuell: it being before consumde in the earth?
A20000And was, and is he not industrious enough in the execution of both from time to time?
A20000And what call you the corporall actuall possession?
A20000And what meane you by inward suggestings and temptings?
A20000And what meane you by the Ethnicall facultie?
A20000And what meane you by the Iudaicall facultie?
A20000And wherefore I pray you?

A20000And why so I praie you?
A20000And will you in no wise prophesie any other but euill vnto vs?
A20000And, are not the words in the originall: and enter no more into him?

A20000And, what became of those motions, when they were cast foorth by our Sauiour Christ?
A20000And, what meane you by the ecclesiasticall mediate power?
A20000And, what meane you by the mediate power of God?

A20000And, what must become of that liuing mans soule: all the while the diuell assumeth his bodie it selfe, to serue his mischieuous purpose?
A20000And, whether praier and fasting haue any power in themselues to effect such a worke?
A20000And, who is it( I pray you) that can harme you at all, if only you follow the thing that is good?
A20000And, why so I beseech you?
A20000Angels haue eftsoones their assumed bodies, and why?
A20000Are not the diuels, as also mens mindes, intellectuall powers, created of God for other speciall purposes, then that which your selfe doth imagine?
A20000Are there then no essentiall transformations at all?
A20000Are you able Lycanthropus, to reply to his answere?
A20000Are you fled so soone, from things naturall: to things not naturall?
A20000Are you fled to the essentiall and inherent possession of Satan afresh?
A20000Are you fledde on the sodaine from the diuell his reall possessing of bodies, to his essentiall assuming of bodies?
A20000Are you opinionate then concerning this point?
A20000Are you then content, to submit to their censure?
A20000Art thou come to vndertake the actuall destruction of my actuall possession?
A20000As also, it were verie absurd to affirme it a good motion: for, how could that motion be good, which tempted Christ vnto euill?
A20000As if he should say thus, would you willingly know what I meane by the miraculous or maruellous workes of the Lord?
A20000As though it were possible, that one onely diuell could be really inherent in two seuerall persons at once?
A20000Aske you why not?
A20000Behold now Exorcistes, you haue heer ● a graund- iurie impannelled concerning this point: what saie you vnto them?
A20000Beleeue me sir, it is a soaker in deed: and therefore, what say you vnto it?
A20000Besides that, if Satan essentially and inherently dwelleth in the possessed mans bodie: what then( for the present) becomes of the soule?
A20000Besides that, if you so strictly doe tye your selfe to the obseruation of words: how vnderstand you this scripture?
A20000But after the creation of such an essentiall bodie: you doe then confesse, the Diuel may assume such a bodie?
A20000But goe to, let it be graunted that the diuell and the serpent together gaue the onset vpon Euah:& now tell me in what maner they wrought?
A20000But goe to: what if your saide meanes should be blessed of God?
A20000But how, essentially into any other substance, or naturall being?
A20000But in what day of those sixe were they created?
A20000But may I be bold( by the way) to aske you a question without offence?
A20000But sir, let vs heare I beseech you, your authorities also concerning this point?
A20000But sir?
A20000But sir?
A20000But sir?
A20000But tell me I pray you, do you not esteeme of that selfesame actuall possession, as of an extraordinarie, and a meere supernaturall matter?
A20000But tell me( I pray you) had not the diuell at the first of all, a power of possession: and a power of obsession permitted vnto him?
A20000But what saith Exorcistes to those things that be spoken?
A20000But what thinkes Pneumatomachos?
A20000But what three persons are those, that come yonder walking this way?
A20000But where prooue you such an essentiall possession as your selfe speaketh of, in all the Scriptures?
A20000But, are there any moe of this mind?
A20000But, behold where they come?
A20000But, by what meanes I beseech you?
A20000But, do you speake in good earnest?
A20000But, doth not the Greeke word, which the Septuagint vseth to expresse the word, iarash; import so much?
A20000But, go to, what becomes of the soule or spirit, all the while the diuell himselfe is really inherent in the possessed mans bodie?
A20000But, how are they vsed in the new Testament?
A20000But, how doe you certainely know that the diuell did essentially enter into the serpent?
A20000But, how should these, or any one of these actions, be possibly performed of such as are not in( deed) true substances?
A20000But, it is as Exorcistes saith, in the vulgar translation?
A20000But, now tel me withal, how much this place doth make for the assuming of bodies by spirits and diuels?
A20000But, sith it is certeine that the good Angels doe oftentimes appeare in assumed bodies: why should not spirites and diuels be able to do the like?
A20000But, sith you persist in your fond opinion: doe tell me what it is that makes you imagine the Diuels to haue also their bodies?
A20000But, tel me I pray you, were there no other sorts of Exorcizings at any time practized, but these fower which your selfe haue expressed?
A20000But, tel me in what sort you effected the work: whether, as an ordinary; or extraordinary minister?
A20000But, tell me in good earnest, do you absolutely denie euery such actuall possession?
A20000But, tell vs further I pray you, by what meanes the diuell especially effecteth these matters?
A20000But, what is his reason I pray you?
A20000But, whether was it done by your fasting alone, or by your praier alone: or, by your fasting and praier togither?
A20000But, why may not the Lord for the execution of iustice: create them such bodies?
A20000But, why should that extraordinarie power be peculiarly appropriated to Christ himselfe, and his owne disciples?
A20000By what meanes I beseech you?
A20000By what meanes then, did your selfe so effectually apprehend: that selfe same supernaturall power of God?
A20000Can any of these things be properly applied to the diuell?
A20000Come on Exorcistes, doe you hold in good earnest, that diuels may bee driuen foorth from men: and that onelie by meanes?
A20000Come on Lycanthropus, what is the thing you would haue granted vnto you?
A20000Come on Lycanthropus, you do beleeue( you say) that Diuels can transforme themselues into what substance they please: what is your reason hereof?
A20000Come on therefore Exorcistes, what say you to our matters this morning?
A20000Common experience, what it is?
A20000Conclude you then, that the diuels haue in men, no corporall possession at all?
A20000Could not the diuell apply the serpents toong to his purpose; vnlesse he did first essentially enter into her?
A20000Could the motions of men craue leaue, and enter into a whole heardship of Swine?
A20000Dare you auouch that Christ spake euer essentiallie in the person of Paul?
A20000Do I bring praier and fasting into publique disgrace; when I vse them onely in driuing foorth diuels?
A20000Do not you also, verie sensiblie perceiue the self- same effect in your selues?
A20000Do you aske me what else?
A20000Do you call this a cleere commandement, for the perpetuall establishment of such an ordinance?
A20000Do you hold that in good earnest?
A20000Do you imagine, the Lord euer propounded any such end to himselfe in the creation of bodies?
A20000Do you then, verie confidently denie all power to the diuell: in these daies of the Gospell?
A20000Do you vnderstand Christs words in that place, of the iustifying faith alone?
A20000Doe not the scriptures in euerie place speake plainely of the possessed with Diuels?
A20000Doe you confidently hold; that the diuel hath no mentall possession in any?
A20000Doe you warrant me?
A20000Doth Caietanus conclude as you say?
A20000Doth Caietanus say so indeed?
A20000Either you wrought no woonder at all: or you wrought a wonder at least in the yoongman at Mahgnitton?
A20000Experience, what it is?
A20000Feedeth the diuell now vpon the dust of the earth like a creature that liues by naturall nourishment?
A20000For Thomas( remayning vnsatisfied) might boldly haue answered thus, oh sir?
A20000For first, if Marie Cooper was truely possessed: by whose prayer and fasting was she dispossessed I pray you?
A20000For how can I possiblie practise that thing which is either vncreated: or not existing in nature?
A20000For if there was in him such a repossession in deed: then, where was your reioynder for the casting of him out by prayer and fasting?
A20000For, consider you not what peculiar action therein, the Scriptures impose vpon Christ?
A20000For, do you imagine, that, there went any power essentially, from out of the body of Christ, for the admirable curing of any?
A20000For, how coulde I possiblie practise any vncreated, or supernaturall action: being my selfe but a created or meere naturall agent?
A20000For, how is it possible you should actually dispossesse the diuel of that man: in whom he was neuer actually possessea?
A20000For, how is it possible you should dispossesse the diuell, of that partie, whom( indeed& in truth) he neuer possessed?
A20000For, how should the actuall possession of diuels by possibly perpetuall, and not be ordinary in it selfe, nor continually working?
A20000For, remember you not that old saying?
A20000For, seeing now you make faith an actor in that your preposterous enterprise: doe tell vs directly what faith you meane?
A20000For, tell me I pray you, whether you account this your newe comed distinction of mirandum, and miraculum: as a sound, and a currant distinction?
A20000For, what a dalliance is this?
A20000For, what is it else to illustrate the name of God, in this world: but, to beate downe, and destroy the kingdome of Satan, the prince of this world?
A20000For, what manner of argument is this that you make?
A20000For, what one probable reason haue you at all: that may make you so confident in this your preposterous conceit?
A20000For, what pray we for else, when we say, Forgiue vs our trespasses: but onely that our woundes may be healed?
A20000For, where hath the Lord established praier and fasting as an extraordinary perpetuall meanes, for the powerfull expelling of spirits and diuels?
A20000For, where hath the diuell receiued power from the Lord: to dispossesse liuing soules of their organicall bodies?
A20000For, why may there not be as much neede of such a miraculous confirmation in these daies of atheisme, as euer before?
A20000From whence come you?
A20000From whence comes it else that the diuell is called a viper or serpent, and his children the generation of vipers?
A20000GOod Sirs?
A20000GOod morow to you all, my deere brethren: what newes I beseech you, from Exorcistes this morning?
A20000Giue place for a time; for how long I beseech you?
A20000Go to therefore Lycanthropus, what say you them?
A20000Goe to then, tell me( I pray you) what was the Serpent that tempted our grandmother Euah in Paradice?
A20000Good maister Orthodoxus?
A20000Good sir?
A20000Good sir?
A20000Good sir?
A20000Good sir?
A20000Good sir?
A20000Good sir?
A20000Hath Christ established prayer and fasting, for the perpetuall expelling of spirits and diuels?
A20000Hath satan a belly to goe vpon now: being but lately an incorporall creature?
A20000Hold you all this for a truth?
A20000How could he illustrate the thing that is not at all?
A20000How doe I know it?
A20000How first I beseech you, in respect of the actiue vertue effecting?
A20000How first by the Scriptures themselues?
A20000How first from their essentiall creation?
A20000How first, in consideration of the churches primitiue?
A20000How know you it was an Angell that spake in the Asse?
A20000How manifold I pray you, is this actuall possession?
A20000How now Lycanthropus, are you brought to a non- plus before you well wiste?
A20000How now Lycanthropus, are you indeed in good earnest?
A20000How now Pneumatomachus, what say you to these matters?
A20000How prooue you them creatures created by God?
A20000How should he so confidently affirme his opinion, not hauing the conformitie and concord of truth consorting therewith?
A20000How should the king be eased at all: and, the spirit not expelled out of his bodie?
A20000How should there be wrought a transformation in outward appeerance: and no change in substance at all?
A20000How then should we certainely know when the vndoubted assurance thereof is certainely and sufficiently confirmed vnto vs?
A20000How vnto lies and tales, his eares attentiue all they can?
A20000Howbeit, what need of assuming of bodies at all, if Angels and spirits be alwaies endued with their proper and peculiar bodies?
A20000I meane, whether we must esteeme the same a true, or false miracle?
A20000I take it to be some liuing mans bodie, if any at all: else, how should it possibly serue the diuels purpose?
A20000If a true naturall bodie, then tell me further, whether it be a bodie created before: or, to be newly created?
A20000If diuels enter not essentiallie into the possessed mans mind: how should they possiblie encline, or bow his saied mind to their purpose?
A20000If he be not named at all in the action: how comes he then to be charged for the principall author in that selfesame action?
A20000If it be certeinly true, that good Angels doe not essentially enter into godly mens mindes; how then should they possiblie helpe them?
A20000If it be in the original, thus, the Angel that spake in me: Why translate you it thus, the Angel that spake with me, or to me?
A20000If it be true indeed, that diuels do not essentially enter into the possessed mens mindes: howe then shoulde they possibly hurt them?
A20000If it was not the very true and essentiall body of Samuell in deed: what was it I pray you that appeared to Saul?
A20000If necessarily serpents in deede, then, tel me whether they were such by a naturall: or supernaturall necessity?
A20000If not, why them should it seeme strange vnto any, that the most pointes in that action be allegorically expounded?
A20000If only the euill, what then must become of those other which were good in the man?
A20000If so, what then became of the men themselues from whom( as you dreame) those motions arose?
A20000If the Gospel you teach, be the vndoubted truth: why do you confirme so sacred a truth, by that selfesame meanes which you so sharpely condemne in vs?
A20000If the scriptures be so intricate concerning these pointes: what waies were we best to take for the vnderstanding of them aright?
A20000If there were in his hart no substantiall change at all: how could there possibly be wrought in the same, such altered, or changed qualities?
A20000If they were not true serpents in deede: why then doth the scripture terme them serpents?
A20000If this were certeinely so, what one creature in al the world could any long time continue in that proper estate wherein it was first created of God?
A20000If we work not miracles now: is it, because we want faith?
A20000If yea: then, whether was it an euill, or a good motion?
A20000If you hold it a bodie created before, then tell me yet further, whether you take it to be a liuing: or dead mans bodie?
A20000In what respect else may their said torments be abated?
A20000Is it likelie that Saul would bowe vnto nothing?
A20000Is it supernaturall for the Diuell to possesse a man?
A20000Is not this the practise of a Polypragmaticall mate: yea, and to become a busie bodie in other mens matters?
A20000Is the driuing out of diuels by prayer and fasting, no miracle I pray you?
A20000Is there not a most plaine opposition betweene entring into: and going out from?
A20000Is this a good argument?
A20000Is this the approoued practise of that wel- ordered discipline, whereof your selfe, and some others so highly esteeme?
A20000It doth so in deede: and what of that?
A20000It is a verie strange and fearefull infirmitie, that can so essentially transforme a man into a verie naturall woolfe?
A20000It is vndoubtedly so as you saie: and therefore, how highly are we bound to extoll his mercifull kindnes?
A20000It may be it hath not: and, how then?
A20000Iudaicall facultie for Exorcizing, what?
A20000Know you not, that the orderly course of nature in her ordinary producing of liuing creatures, is onely and altogether by generation?
A20000LYcanthropus?
A20000Let vs first heare your reasons?
A20000Let vs heare your reasons I pray you?
A20000Lycanthropus?
A20000Lycanthropus?
A20000Lycanthropus?
A20000Maister Orthodoxus?
A20000Make plaine your meaning; and tell vs whether you hold them to haue their proper, or assumed bodies?
A20000Master Orthodoxus?
A20000Moreouer, if you take Diuels for the good, or euill motions in men, what thinke you then that Legion was, wherewith the two men were possessed?
A20000Moreouer, what must we account of all the miraculous dispossessings of spirits and diuels in the primitiue church?
A20000My desire is to know, whether spirits and diuels do essentially enter into the bodies of men?
A20000My meaning is this; What if the Lord, euen at your praier and fasting be entreated to driue foorth a diuell?
A20000Neither doe we dispute what God either may, or is able to doe?
A20000Newes sir?
A20000No doe?
A20000No, how is it possible he should?
A20000Now sir, if none of them can, or may be said to be euill: how should there be any Diuels at all?
A20000Now then, doe tel me whether they were true serpents in deed, by such a naturall necessity?
A20000Now then, if Angels and spirits be not true substances in deed, shall we also cease to be substances?
A20000Now then, what was it I pray you that expelled the diuel?
A20000O absurd, and sencelesse opinion?
A20000Of actuall possession, what it is?
A20000Oh how highly are we beholding to God, for the sanctified vse of so singular a creature?
A20000Oh the wit that abounds in a Cardinals hat?
A20000Oh thou the promised seede that must actually breake my head?
A20000Oh, what haue I to doe with thee?
A20000On the other side, what praise is it vnto you, if, when you be iustly buffetted for your owne faultes( as herein you haue been) you take it patiently?
A20000Or howe is the deitie of the holy Ghost himselfe, by such vnspeakeable, or admirable action made apparant vnto vs?
A20000Or that he should( contrarie to his nature) become corporal: being by Gods appointment, ordeined and created to a spirituall proportion?
A20000Or who hath stretched the line ouer it?
A20000Or, is it for the whole time of the diuell his being in that bodie, vtterly exiled& thrust out from the same?
A20000Or, spake he not rather ministeriallie in him?
A20000Or, whether a true iustifying faith( apprehending some supernaturall power of God) doth effect that worke?
A20000Or, whether a true iustifying faith( apprehending some supernaturall power of God) doth effect that worke?
A20000Or, who laide the corner stone thereof?
A20000Or, why will you( in this case especially) so fondly respect the flying reports of phantasticall felowes?
A20000Otherwise, if you so stricktlie relie on the letter, how then vnderstand you the Apostle Paul, speaking thus?
A20000Perceiue you not the absurditie of your speech, in auouching a perpetuall action, without an effect?
A20000Pneumatomachus?
A20000Put case you had attempted the worke by your praier alone: what then?
A20000Remaines the soule still in that bodie as in her proper habitation appointed of God, till the day of her vtter dissolution by death?
A20000See now I beseech you, whether these be vndoubted true signes of the dispossessing of Satan?
A20000See, see the strange nature of man?
A20000Should I forethinke me of that, which is so generally helde of all for an infallible truth?
A20000Sir?
A20000Sir?
A20000Sir?
A20000Sith you relie so much vpon natural reason, go to Lycanthropus, let me argue this point to the ful?
A20000Something say you?
A20000Tell me then, by what meanes they do hurt men?
A20000Tell vs therefore, I praie you: what is actuall possession?
A20000That was neuer yet doubted of any: and dare your selfe vndertake to denie the same?
A20000The Apostles mediate power, what it was?
A20000The Lord may do whatsoeuer he please: that it will be his good pleasure to do this which you dreame of, who can certeinly say?
A20000The extraordinarie power for the expelling of Diuels, was onely peculiar to Christ and his owne Apostles, and why?
A20000The organicall operations of the minde, what they are?
A20000The persons reporting these newes may be of good accompt and credite I grant: but Lycanthropus?
A20000The power of Spirits and Diuels, their possession, what it is: and whether the Diuell doth essentially enter into the possessed mans minde, or not?
A20000The question is now, whether that their owne experience: be a true experience?
A20000Then vndoubtedly, they were such, either by the orderly or the vnorderly course of nature?
A20000There be some in our daies, that aske why signes and woonders, are not now also effected by Christians?
A20000These were all effected by praier you know: were these therefore( I pray you) no miracles?
A20000They all write as you say, and the Ecclesiasticall histories also auouch the same: but, what inferre you thereof?
A20000They doe so: but let them, or some of you shew me how he appeered to Saul?
A20000Thinke you it impossible for your selfe to be deluded by the diuell: or to be deceiued at all by a cogging companion?
A20000Thinke you so as you say?
A20000This sir, is enough I assure you, and that which doth satisfie me to the full: but what sayth Lycanthropus concerning this point?
A20000Though the perpetuitie of actuall possessions be not plainely expressed: yet, why may not the same be couertly implied in some part of the Scriptures?
A20000True sir?
A20000Verie true: but, what be the sundrie kindes of miracles?
A20000WHat Lycanthropus?
A20000WHether Diuels can essentially transforme themselues into any true naturall bodie?
A20000WHether common experience may concludently prooue the supposed continuance of actuall possession?
A20000WHether praier and fasting be an ordinance perpetually established by Christ: for the powerfull expelling of Diuels?
A20000Was it( thinke you) any motion in Christ?
A20000Was it, for that the rest of the Ministers were all, but vngodly wretches, in comparison of you?
A20000Was not your name also purposely giuen, to purport vnto vs your proper nature?
A20000Was that any good, or euill motion in Euah?
A20000Was the diuell before this, of an Angelicall nature: and must he be marshalled now, with the brute beasts of the field?
A20000Wel sir, howsoeuer you denie the mental possession of diuels: I doubt not but they may haue a corporall possession in men?
A20000Wel then, sith yow hold spirites and diuels for substantiall creatures: do now tel me whether you take them for spiritual, or corporal substances?
A20000Well sir?
A20000Well sir?
A20000Well sir?
A20000Well sir?
A20000Well, and howe prooue you the same by probable reasons?
A20000Well, be it so: but what is that other word which the Hebrewes doe vse for possessions?
A20000Well, go to( saith Saul) be not afraid: for what seest thou?
A20000Well, goe to then, tell me whether you holde them not likewise for finite creatures: and therefore also, circumscriptible and locall?
A20000Well: now( in Gods name) declare briefly and plainly what you desire to know concerning the possessed man at Mahgnitton?
A20000Were that worke, thus effected( as you fondlly imagine) by meanes: no miraculous action at all?
A20000Were they dead all the while their mindes were bereft of their motions?
A20000Were they drowned together, with the Swine in the Sea?
A20000What I pray you can be more plaine then this?
A20000What I pray you, is the corporall possession?
A20000What Philologus?
A20000What a true miracle is?
A20000What answerings?
A20000What are you able to mannage against all to the death?
A20000What arguings?
A20000What argument I praie you is that?
A20000What bodies they are said to assume?
A20000What bodies they are said to assume?
A20000What can be more plaine I beseech you?
A20000What conclude you from thence?
A20000What doth he there?
A20000What entercourse of writings?
A20000What haue we especially to consider in them?
A20000What hot disputes?
A20000What is the first word they vse for possession?
A20000What is the opinion( I pray you) that troubleth his patience?
A20000What is the real possession?
A20000What is this else, but to say, and vnsay: and to turne with euerie winde, not vnlike to the wauering Weathercocke?
A20000What is to be vnderstood by the power of obedience?
A20000What is your opinion( I pray you) concerning the possession of Diuels: in these daies of the Gospell?
A20000What is your reason?
A20000What it is?
A20000What man, must the credit of a grand- Iurie of Catholike Fathers be made to depend vpon the approbation of a generall Councell?
A20000What man, will you( in deed) oppose your selfe to true Phylosophie?
A20000What man?
A20000What man?
A20000What man?
A20000What man?
A20000What man?
A20000What manner of waies are those?
A20000What may be more cleere then this?
A20000What may be more cleere?
A20000What meane you by Nebuchad- nezzer his hart transformed?
A20000What meane you by a common place?
A20000What meane you by a naturall necessity?
A20000What meane you by an imaginarie place?
A20000What meane you by an outward assaulting and vexing?
A20000What meane you by common experience?
A20000What meane you by mentall possession?
A20000What meane you by that?
A20000What meane you by the Apostolical mediate power?
A20000What meane you by the Satanicall facultie?
A20000What meane you by the immediate power of God?
A20000What meane you by the mental- actuall possession?
A20000What meane you by the power of nature?
A20000What meane you by the proper operations of the soule or minde?
A20000What meane you by their power ouer men?
A20000What meane you, by actually afflicting the possessed mans minde?
A20000What meane you, by actually tormenting the whole or some part of the bodie?
A20000What mutuall conferences?
A20000What needs so great a cry for so little wool?
A20000What newes from Mahgnitton I pray you?
A20000What newes is that?
A20000What now?
A20000What one reason quoth you?
A20000What other thing els may be collected from thence; but, that the diuel hath really in man, a mental possession?
A20000What reason haue you to imagine the contrarie?
A20000What reason haue you, to perswade me to that?
A20000What reason?
A20000What reasons haue you for this your opinion?
A20000What replies, and reioynders: or euer we could fitly accord about the seuerall questions propounded betweene vs?
A20000What sir?
A20000What sir?
A20000What sirs?
A20000What sundrie and often recourses the one to the other?
A20000What then I pray you, doth your selfe vnderstand by the Diuel his power of possession?
A20000What vnderstand you by the euil Angel there?
A20000What( I pray you) is the common opinion of men concerning the same?
A20000What, how now Lycanthropus?
A20000What, my old friend Philologus?
A20000What?
A20000When the starres of the morning praised me, and all the sonnes of God reioyced?
A20000When,& where hath Christ determined the extraordinarie possession of diuels, concerning that speciall end?
A20000Where finde I the words( possession, or possessed) appropriate to Diuels, throughout the whole Bible?
A20000Where upon are the foundations thereof set?
A20000Where wert thou when I layd the foundations of the earth?
A20000Wherefore doubt you that Diuels haue possession in men?
A20000Whether Peter had a principall power in the effecting: of miracles?
A20000Whether Praier and fasting, be established by Christ, as a perpetuall ordinarie meanes, for the powerfull expelling of diuels?
A20000Whether Spirits and Diuels can assume to themselues true naturall bodies?
A20000Whether Spirits and Diuels can essentially transforme themselues into any true naturall bodie?
A20000Whether Spirits and Diuels do essentially enter into the possessed mans bodie?
A20000Whether a Diuell indeed was driuen out of Sommers?
A20000Whether a miraculous faith( apprehending the power of God, for the powerfull expelling of Diuels) be yet still continued?
A20000Whether anie created meanes may therein preuaile?
A20000Whether any created meanes may therein preuaile?
A20000Whether do you take it to be a common, or proper place?
A20000Whether in sound, or in voice, or in wordes?
A20000Whether of both these thinke you, is proper to Diuels?
A20000Whether onely by meanes: or by a miraculous manner?
A20000Whether really, or actually?
A20000Whether the Sorcerers rods were essentially transformed into true naturall serpents?
A20000Whether the actuall possession of Spirits and Diuels, especially that supposed in the yoong man at Mahgnitton may be prooued thereby?
A20000Whether the commission giuen by Christ to his Apostles for the dispossessing of Diuels, be a perpetuall commission?
A20000Whether the deniall of dispossessions by fasting and praier: be any disgrace to fasting and praier?
A20000Whether the power therein be a vocall or a personall power?
A20000Whether the power therein, be a vocal, or a personall power?
A20000Whether the precedent, or subsequent signes, do conclude the pretended dispossession?
A20000Whether to the possessed mans minde, or to the diuell himselfe, that possesseth his bodie?
A20000Whether, a true naturall: or phantasticall bodie?
A20000Which are the false miracles?
A20000Which are the true miracles?
A20000Which argueth plainelie, that, the good Angel was reallie in Zacharie: els, how should he speake in him at al?
A20000Which being certeinely so, do now tel me what substantiall consequent can possibly arise from your antecedent, it beeing so false and vnsound?
A20000Which being so: howe should there be a reall possession of Diuels in any?
A20000Who dare auouch the perpetuitie of that actuall possession of Diuels: more then of any the rest?
A20000Who euer denied him a transformation?
A20000Who hath layd the measures thereof if thou knowest?
A20000Who is he?
A20000Who will deny God himselfe to be a bodie: although God( indeed) be a spirit?
A20000Why are you so loth to beleeue that, which so many beheld with their eies?
A20000Why hold you manie of those reported matters; impossible for satan to do?
A20000Why man?
A20000Why man?
A20000Why may not the Diuel for a time, essentially vsurpe the possessed mans bodie, to accomplish therin his Diuelish actions?
A20000Why may not the Lord do as much for spirits and diuels?
A20000Why may not the miraculous faith be auouched perpetuall?
A20000Why not they, as well as the senses of all in the parlour aforesaid?
A20000Why shoulde you woonder at all: sith the verie hower it selfe( wherein the Lord would glorifie his worde, and his worke) was neuer till then?
A20000Why sir, hath not the Lord established praier and fasting, as an ordinary perpetuall meanes for the powerfull expelling of spirits and diuels?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why sir?
A20000Why then shoulde the translatour so presumptuously put downe the word possession: if no such thing be apparant in all the originall?
A20000Why, then alas, the Lord be mercifull to vs: for what man in the world may possiblie be free from their malice?
A20000Why?
A20000Why?
A20000Why?
A20000Will you not grant, that diuels may essentially transforme themselues into what bodies they please?
A20000Would you expound it thus, hinder me not: sith the Lord hath caused my iorney, verie really, and essentially to enter into me?
A20000Would you haue vs to imagine fromhence: that king Saul himselfe was really possest with an euill spirit, or a diuel?
A20000Yea, and doe tell me( I pray you) what goeth to Hell: the good, or euill motions?
A20000Yea, and therewithall likewise to weaken my whole spirituall dominion for euer?
A20000Yea, and why should you vrge such vncerteine and doubtfull actions: to conclude a certeine experience?
A20000Yea, but how are you able to perswade me the contrarie?
A20000Yea, but how should they possiblie either hurt or deuoure; hauing in men no reall possession?
A20000Yea, but when, or in what day created he them?
A20000Yea, what else?
A20000Yea, what other thing else?
A20000Yea, why not?
A20000Yea, why not?
A20000Yes sir?
A20000You grant then, that the Diuels doe assume to themselues some vncreated bodie?
A20000Your reasons I assure you, they satisfie me to the full: but, what saith Lycanthropus concerning this point?
A20000and then next, you do also( by consequence) verie flatly deny that there is any God at all: for what( I pray you) is God, but a Spirite?
A20000and what is his name?
A20000and whether wander you so fast with these good companions?
A20000and you maister Pneumatomachus, my olde companions?
A20000are you fled on the suddaine from assuming of bodies, to the transforming of bodies?
A20000but from that first description which Moses makes of him in this selfesame action?
A20000by any effectuall meanes of that perfume?
A20000do you flatly denie, that the diuell can essentially transforme himselfe into what bodie he please?
A20000doe you verilie imagine you are essentially transformed into a woolfe?
A20000doth he essentially creepe first into the bagge it selfe, and then tune the pipes to his purpose: or doth he only dispose the sound by his breath?
A20000euen by the apparant effects thereof: for, how came it to passe that the serpent did speakevnto Euah?
A20000how doth a minstrill make his pipes to sound what he please?
A20000howe goeth the matter?
A20000howe prooue you there be Spirits and Diuels?
A20000if nothing appeared in truth, how then was the conference afterwards performed to Saul?
A20000is not the driuing out of Diuels a miracle?
A20000of casting them foorth?
A20000of the Diuell that entred into the hart of Iudas?
A20000of the Diuell that filled Ananiah his hart with a lye, and a thousand such places?
A20000of the entring of Diuels into men?
A20000or, hath he the daies of his life determined now: being not long since an immortall substance?
A20000the perfume which rose vp from the liuer?
A20000this argument I beleeue will set you hard?
A20000to expell the diuell?
A20000were you called, and fully established an ordinary minister at Mahgnitton: or euer you vndertooke that enterprise?
A20000what a true miracle is?
A20000what better reason, then common experience?
A20000what make you in these quarters?
A20000what vnderstand you, by his power of obsession?
A20000why doe you will me to handle your hands and sides?
A20000why man, the diuell, he can essentially transforme him selfe into an Angell of light: therefore, how much more into any true naturall body?
A20000will you hereupon inferre, that therefore, he was essentially transformed into an oxe?
A20000will you with such setled pertinacie dwell in your opinion: not hauing sound reason therefore?
A20000would you beare vs in hand, it were hard to prooue that the diuell can assume to himselfe a bodie?
A20000woulde your endeuour therein haue beene voide?
A20000yea, and whether praier and fasting, haue in them selues, any power, to effect such a worke?
A20000you are not of this minde I hope, namely, that it is sufficient for men to discharge their duties, either by themselues, or by others?
