A54211 | I say, what good will that do her, that must be the greatest Argument of the Force she fears they will use against her? |
A54211 | If conform, why just now? |
A54211 | If not before, why then now? |
A54211 | If now, why not before? |
A54211 | Is it not natural enough to expect at the hand of the King, that they will not, shall not have Liberty of Conscience? |
A54211 | Is it not taking Sanctuary in human Strength instead of divine Truth, that is al- sufficient to its own support? |
A54211 | Secondly, How are they assurd, while the Church of England is by Law secured, that by those very Laws they shall not be ruin''d in the mean time? |
A54211 | and that at any rate, they shall conform thorowly, that will not at an other time conform at all, When they do it now only to bob the Goverment? |
A54211 | if things are the same, why are not they? |
A54211 | need they this, if they design Force? |
A54211 | or were it worth their Labouring? |
A54211 | that it is not using against Popery what she accuses it for, and by it condemns her self? |
A48122 | B. preach, or was it a good Sermon? |
A48122 | But if you should assemble without Sermons for worship, what will become of you? |
A48122 | But yet have not the Sons of the Church of England greater appearances, that their Souls are joyn''d to the material parts of Gods worship than you? |
A48122 | For doth he not enervate your Principle, and establish our Ceremonies with that freeness, as if he craved favour from no man''s Reason or Learning? |
A48122 | If you do not, why would you obtrude it on the Church of England, and desert her too for want of an impossible Conformity to it? |
A48122 | Moreover, this being the great Postulatum of the Science of Non- conformity, and Novel Puritanism, may I be so bold as to ask you, whence you had it? |
A48122 | Of what little use is this among you? |
A48122 | Unity? |
A48122 | yet what Government hath been more complain''d and libell''d against? |
A28590 | 1. Who has power to circumscribe and restrain it within the bounds they do sometimes prefix? |
A28590 | And if so, Why do you not name the Sects you plead for? |
A28590 | But some will be ready to say, What do you plead for all sorts of Dissenters, or only some particular Sects? |
A28590 | Caesar commanded a stay of the Execution, and when he came to the house, he asked the Senator whether he had Glasses worth a mans life? |
A28590 | Can the Ethiopian change his Skin, or the Leopard his Spots? |
A28590 | How unseemly a thing is it, to hear a drunken swearing Debauchee, declaiming against Dissenters, and crying out, The Church, The Church? |
A28590 | Now what Crime is it for a Conformist to plead for Moderation towards such men as these? |
A28590 | When the Emperor took a Bishop in compleat Armour, he sent the Armour to the Pope with this word, Haecinae sunt vestes filii tui? |
A28590 | is it not high time to agree amongst our selves, now that Hannibal is at our Gates? |
A54215 | And can any one now say that such a Practice is not a Burden or a Snare to that Mans Conscience? |
A54215 | And why should not we al much rather rejoyce at the prospect of this new Experiment of Liberty, which affords more lively hopes of stable Comfort? |
A54215 | Can any thing be more peaceable than that Principle, which, allowing such a Liberty, dos therby take away the occasion of bitterest Contention? |
A54215 | Can any thing be more reasonable than for every man to allow unto another that Liberty which he desires for himself? |
A54215 | If there have been Men amongst them of such pernicious Principles, have there not been such also amongst us? |
A54215 | Is it supposed that their Numbers may increase, and in the end grow formidable? |
A54215 | Shal I explain my Meaning? |
A54215 | Shall I instance also in our Church of England? |
A54215 | The Protestant Dissenters claim a Right to public Imployments: And shall not the King demand the same Right for Catholic Dissenters also? |
A54215 | What can this Danger be that is apprehended by the taking away of the Test? |
A54215 | What good is it, in truth, that those Laws have don us? |
A54215 | Why not? |
A52130 | But you will say, why doth he then discourage Kings from the like Sovereignty? |
A52130 | Do you plead with the Casuists, that any man may dispense with his own Promise, where the Non- performance prejudices no one? |
A52130 | Do you think the World so dim- sighted, that they can not discern what is under so thin a Veil? |
A52130 | Does it( think you) become the Son of Vicar to prate thus of an Archbishop? |
A52130 | How do these agree? |
A52130 | How unfortunate on Earth still is this blessed ROYAL MARTYR? |
A52130 | If his thirsty Wit be so pretty, what may we expect from his new Wine? |
A52130 | If you ask why Transpros''d? |
A52130 | Is it your Protection for railing whole Pages, that you Preface the Libel with his just Titles of Pious, Learned, and Wise? |
A52130 | Is this your Complement, to embrace him, that you may stab him? |
A52130 | Nothing how to root out, both by Disputation and Discipline, the abuses and encroachments of the Church of Rome? |
A52130 | Now would it not vex a man to be thus unseasonably diverted from the weightiest Business of this Nation, and of one or two besides? |
A52130 | Now you wi ● h your Preface look to your self, What can you say in your own defence? |
A52130 | What if they will not take fair warning? |
A52130 | What if your Adversary should find a patch''d hole about you? |
A52130 | What is this but to muzzle the Dogs while the Wolfs do range? |
A52130 | What think you of this sorry Latinist, Marcellinus? |
A52130 | Would you have the Indictment confessed by standing MUTE, when as the Witnesses are the only Malefactours? |
A52130 | do you not understand him? |
A52130 | seemed he to know nothing of the Primitive Religion Restor''d? |
A52130 | was he ignorant of these, or is all this nothing? |
A60665 | 3) then you did at your first beginning to profess him? |
A60665 | And also, Paul prayed, That the People might receive the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation: What was Paul a Knave for this? |
A60665 | And how often doth Paul say, be ye Followers of me, even as I also am of Christ? |
A60665 | And if we do so, and in our measures witness the same Spirit of Wisdom, Revelation, Inspiration and Vision, must we therefore be Knaves for that? |
A60665 | And where must they be charged, upon the Scriptures or upon you, with your many Lo here''s and Lo there''s? |
A60665 | And who dare say, That the Maker is not Greater, and more to be looked at and esteemed, than the Thing made? |
A60665 | But what saith Christ? |
A60665 | Why did the chief Priests and outward Professors of the Letter in days past slight and set at nought Christ Jesus, in his outward appearance to them? |
A45122 | Against whom hast thou Exalted thy Voice, and Lifted up thine Eyes on High? |
A45122 | And can the Doctor here be in good earnest? |
A45122 | And was it Idolatry,& to be Tolerated in 1675? |
A45122 | And what if they should advance against him this Argument? |
A45122 | And what thinks the Doctor of Christ before his Ascension; was he Head then? |
A45122 | And wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? |
A45122 | Are not making Laws, and Appointing Officers, the Rights of a Head? |
A45122 | But is their going only to two Meetings enough to make Both, or Either of them, to be Guilty of this Sin of Schisme? |
A45122 | Does, or does not the Doctor know this? |
A45122 | I press the Doctor: Is it a Political- Church, or no? |
A45122 | In it, an Objection is thus put: But what shall we say then to the Papists? |
A45122 | Is it Idolatry, and not to be Tolerated in 1680? |
A45122 | Not but I am sensible of the dangerous consequence into which our Divisions may bring us; but who can help it? |
A45122 | Or, Was it no Idolatry then, but is become so now, and intolerable Idolatry too? |
A45122 | Readers, you may perhaps think that Mr. Alsop is a Learned Man; but alass, What is he in comparison of me? |
A45122 | The Doctor now is to be askt, What Consent it is that he means? |
A45122 | What is this but Joyning for a Toleration of Popery? |
A45122 | Who is it can Remedy these Terms imposed on us as necessary to Communion? |
A45122 | Who is the Cause of them? |
A31025 | And how gross the Apostacy of others? |
A31025 | And if left to their own Culture, and Ingenuity, any likelihood they should reform? |
A31025 | Can we imagine there should be any thing more in all these Mockeries, than a sordid Interest, spiteful Revenge, or popular Humour? |
A31025 | Here then arises the main Quere: What shall we do with such Dissenters as these? |
A31025 | On the other side, to return home, how differently have these Disputes been manag''d amongst us, and how vexatiously continued? |
A31025 | Quo teneam vultus mutantem Protea Nodo? |
A31025 | Such Linsy Woolsy Consciences? |
A31025 | Such profane Halters between God and Baal? |
A31025 | The Sceptick, the Deist, the Atheist, under what Class shall we place them? |
A31025 | What will become of it in the end? |
A31025 | With what implacable Enmity, did the Presbyterian and Independant prosecute each other? |
A31425 | And can we now be such Degenerate Christians,( if we can be said to be Christians at all) as to make nothing at all of Schism and Separation? |
A31425 | And shall Peace be broken only in the Church, where it ought to be kept most entire? |
A31425 | And that by those, who acknowledg it to be possible, and within their power? |
A31425 | Are any in Prison? |
A31425 | Are not the Peace and Unity of the Church, things, that ought greatly to sway with all Sober, Humble, and Considering Christians? |
A31425 | Are they satisfied in their Consciences, to join in Communion with us, and will they not do it for the sake of the Church of God? |
A31425 | But where do we meet with these prohibitions? |
A31425 | Do they complain of their Ministers being Silenced now? |
A31425 | Does not the Apostle say, that if it be possible, and as much as in us lies, we are to live Peaceably with all Men? |
A31425 | For did ever any Man,( the Bishop of Rome excepted) lay claim to Infallibility? |
A31425 | If we be the Body of Christ, do not they that Seperate from the Body, Seperate from the Head also? |
A31425 | Now I beseech our Dissenting, or rather Inconstant Brethren, to reason a little; if our Communion be sinful, why did they enter into it? |
A31425 | Thus it was then, and whether the same Leaven do not still spread and ferment, and perhaps as much as ever, there is just cause to suspect? |
A31425 | if it be lawful, why do they forsake it? |
A31425 | not in the word of God, not in the nature and reason of the things themselves? |
A66417 | And where shall we meet, if it be not in some settlement: and in what shall we agree, if the present Constitution will not so far unite us? |
A66417 | But I would fain know what is hereby intended, whether such would bring us to confusion or settlement? |
A66417 | Can they secure us, that their Model will take, and that all Parties that now joyn against ours, will center in theirs? |
A66417 | I may well say, is not the hand of the Jesuit in all this? |
A66417 | If a settlement be intended, I would as willingly know where they will fix? |
A53674 | Are the Judgments of God coming on the Nation? |
A53674 | But is it not as plainly written by St. Paul, If I yet serve men, I should not be the servant of Christ; as Wo be unto me if I Preach not the Gospel? |
A53674 | But why then is this kept up as such a mighty Secret in the breasts of their Teachers? |
A53674 | Doth Atheism abound among us? |
A53674 | For what is the end of all Churches for which they are instituted? |
A53674 | In cujus perniciem aliquando convenimus? |
A53674 | Is it for fear they should have none left to Preach to? |
A53674 | Is it lest they should seem to condemn themselves, whil''st they Preach against Separation in a Separate Congregation? |
A53674 | Is it not the Edification of them that do believe? |
A53674 | Is it that they fear the Reproaches of the People? |
A53674 | Is there danger of Popery? |
A53674 | What are the means appointed of Christ in such Churches for that end? |
A53674 | Why do they not Preach to them in their Congregations? |
A48755 | All their maintenance being then taken away; and little hope left of seeing it restored? |
A48755 | And will you never see your errors? |
A48755 | And yet, when by such wicked suggestions, this Church was pulled down, how few of them were there found, that revolted unto Popery? |
A48755 | Consider I beseech you; what dreadful out- cries should we have heard; had any person among us said any thing like to this blasphemy? |
A48755 | For what I pray? |
A48755 | How can these things consist together; that men should be making their advances nearer and nearer to Rome, and not then close with it? |
A48755 | In such a great man as this, how should he see any thing amiss? |
A48755 | Is not that as great an out- cry every where, as this of du Moulin''s? |
A48755 | Is that Divine honourably treated by another, who accuses him of the most dangerous Heterodoxy? |
A48755 | Now what doth this vain man and great admirer of such a Father? |
A48755 | O how dear( may I say) are some opinions to him? |
A48755 | Or what regard is to be had to him? |
A48755 | What is all this but lewd and ignorant, if not malicious railing? |
A48755 | What shall we do with such a man as this? |
A48755 | Why are you so injurious to such men? |
A48755 | Why did not the corrupt party( as he terms it) then follow their inclinations, if they had any that way, when there was so great a temptation? |
A48755 | Why do they tempt them to it, by their out- cries against the Church; and by pouring forth such scurrilous language in their Pamphlets? |
A48755 | and affirms he doth turpiter hallucinari, filthily mistake; and promotes the cause of the adversaries, and destroys his own? |
A48755 | or not ingenuously acknowledge them? |
A48755 | what is the cause of this strange difference, that he can see no fault in him, and nothing but faults in others? |
A67878 | Being demanded of me in jest, Whether also the Jews agreed with the Samaritans? |
A67878 | Being demanded, whether Mrs. Cellier had not been with her in the Tower from Mr. Willoughby? |
A67878 | Secondly, what points of these Offers I shall first put them upon to enlarge and clear? |
A67878 | That he askt him, If they taught him to kill his King? |
A67878 | That here, upon he asked Mr. Gadbury, How no hurt should befall him, when in his Opinion it could be no less than Death? |
A67878 | Then said the Lord Powis, No, no, my Lord Arundel does onely this to try you: But my Lord( continued he) what would you give him to kill the King? |
A67878 | Thirdly, what other Points and Queries I shall propose to them, and in what manner? |
A67878 | Whether they did not pour Oyl upon those Flames? |
B03989 | s.n.,[ London: 1681?] |
A54191 | ''T is Fact we differ, and upon a point wherein Vnity is out of our Power: such as we are, what shall we do? |
A54191 | All the Productions of Nature are by Love, and shall it be proper to Religion only to propagate by Force? |
A54191 | And are not Lacedemon, Athens, Rome and Carthage gone before her? |
A54191 | And are not his Followers of these times in the wrong, to seek to uphold their Religion by any methods of Force? |
A54191 | And to persue the Allegory; what was that Ark it self, but the most apt and lively Emblem of Toleration? |
A54191 | As things now are, what is best to be done? |
A54191 | But how happy and admirable was this civil Union between the Cardinal and Turene? |
A54191 | But suppose it were true, what''s the cause of it? |
A54191 | Destroy one another for our Differences, or be moderate, and try a discreet Liberty? |
A54191 | For what are all Conquests but of People? |
A54191 | He makes killing for Religion, Murder, and deserving Death: Was he then in the right, Not to call Legions to his assistance? |
A54191 | It is to be enquired, if this Cure of Church- Division be safe to the State; or not rather, a raking up Coals under Ashes, for a future Mischief? |
A54191 | It was he that ask''t that hard, but just Question, Who art thou that judgest another mans Servant? |
A54191 | Let us reflect what it was confounded the first Tongue, and if Disobedience has not divided Man''s Judgment? |
A54191 | The Church of England must be maintain''d: Right; but ca n''t that be done without the Dissenter be destroyed? |
A54191 | What power but that of the Church, dethron''d Childrek King of France, and set Pippin in his place? |
A54191 | Where are the Babylonian, Persian and Grecian Empires? |
A54191 | Who should give Liberty of Conscience like the Prince that has wanted it? |
B04307 | s.n.,[ London: 1665?] |
B04307 | what Story''s this, that makes so great a stir? |
A33206 | And do not the Presbyterians forsake the Church of England for greater purity? |
A33206 | But do you think that God will give them thanks for what they did, because of their good meaning? |
A33206 | But how do they prove them Unlawful? |
A33206 | But if any Man ask, Who is to be Judge of things Indifferent as to a Mans practice, whether his own Conscience or his Superior? |
A33206 | But then how can Authority pretend to abridge private Persons of Judging, as to their own practice concerning Indifferent things? |
A33206 | But what is it that they mean by this greater purity of Worship for which they Separate? |
A33206 | But why should a Man disparage himself so much, as not to use that Understanding which God hath given him in matters that Concern his Salvation? |
A33206 | Do they shew where God hath forbidden them? |
A33206 | How then do they prove those things Unlawful to be done in Gods Worship, which God hath not forbidden either in the Law of Nature or Scripture? |
A33206 | I proceed next to consider the Difference with respect to that common Question, Who shall be the Judge? |
A33206 | The Difference with respect to that Common Question who shall be the Judge? |
A33206 | Wherein doth this purity consist? |
A33206 | against praying in an unknown Tongue; can they shew us any Text in all the Bible against praying by a Form of Words? |
A41363 | A quarter of an hour after Morgan calls, What is not that fellow yet gone? |
A41363 | And would you have done it? |
A41363 | At length I discovered who I was, saying to the four standers by, Is not this a Prime Rascal to swear against a man, whom he never knew nor saw? |
A41363 | But pray, Gentlemen, why do you enquire this of me? |
A41363 | But then Skirm was filled with great wrath, and with Dammees and other Execrations askt how I dared to open the Door? |
A41363 | Did you, Sir, ever hear that he was Chaplain to the Lord Holles? |
A41363 | Doth Mr. Newman( saith he) know any thing of it? |
A41363 | Holt not long after died ravingly mad, and crying out against Perjury, and demanding what''s the reward of False Swearing? |
A41363 | I and my two fellow Prisoners demanded for what reason this was offered? |
A41363 | Immediately the Mother bawls out, What do you not care a Fart for the Mayor? |
A41363 | The Mayor replied, you intimate that you know Mr. Godwyn to be a Clergyman, and do you not know his place of Abode? |
A41363 | Their undecent words and gestures extorted from this question; Do you thus speak and act by your Masters Order? |
A41363 | Warren was angry, and Aldworth askt them what they came thither for, if th ● ● would not Swear? |
A41363 | We first desired to know whether he had at any time heard of one Mr. Thomas Godwyn Vicar of St. Philips in Bristol? |
A41363 | What then is this( said he) to your Warrant? |
A41363 | Whether I had not behaved my self quietly in word and deed? |
A41363 | and would I never leave those tricks of breaking Prison? |
A64159 | But what is now( my deare brothers, and sweet sisters) become of their vehement Orations, their demonicall disputations? |
A64159 | Three yeares old( replyed the Judge) and no more? |
A64159 | What see I there? |
A64159 | What then shall we say of all his toyes and popish trincats? |
A64159 | and are not the Archbishops and Bishops, the very Buls of Bashan, their superiour and inferiour Officialls, and Officers, the great and little Foxes? |
A64159 | and their iniust Condemnations of us that are the flock of the faithfull, and the onely reserved to eternall Salvation? |
A64159 | his invention and innovations? |
A64159 | how can that possibly be, seeing thou art of that full growth and bignesse? |
A64159 | their Logicall Interpretations? |
A64159 | their erronious Equivocations? |
A64159 | their mentall Reservations? |
A64159 | their syllogisticall examinations? |
A54102 | And who would not hope a little longer, that has stay''d all this while? |
A54102 | And why all this Unkindness and Injustice, but for fear such men of Wrath and Interest should want a pretence to destroy them? |
A54102 | But I pray, how does this shake the Reasonableness of Liberty of Conscience? |
A54102 | But is this the Dissenters case? |
A54102 | But what does this Man think of an opposite Head and Body, the Head of one Mind, and the Body of another? |
A54102 | But what then? |
A54102 | But why? |
A54102 | For his Query, How long Toleration has been a Christian Virtue? |
A54102 | Granting this to be so, what''s that to Liberty of Conscience? |
A54102 | Have they askt for the Churches, or do they usurp the Pulpits? |
A54102 | He concludes in defence of the Church of England''s Severity, and says, Tell me how Christ can be Head of opposite Bodies? |
A54102 | I only pray to be informed, I say, when, where and how? |
A54102 | If any Man has done ill, must the Principle suffer, and the Party pay the Reckoning, especially if neither be in the Fault? |
A54102 | Is it Insolence, and that unsufferable too, for men to humbly pray, they may have leave to say their Prayers in another way than that which is common? |
A54102 | May I not better say, a rare Consequence? |
A54102 | Or how did that Principle come to lay three Kingdoms in Blood? |
A54102 | Riddle me, Riddle me, what''s this? |
A54102 | Secondly, If they that made the War, disown''d it, and deny''d it, how were they Patrons of it? |
A54102 | They said, Lord, wilt thou that we command that Fire come down from Heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? |
A54102 | What a stir is here that men pray to be quiet? |
A54102 | What stuff is this for a man of some Wit and Words? |
A54102 | Will other Princes give better Terms in their Countries, or keep them better? |
A54102 | You would not give it to me, that you wou''d not, and therefore why should I give it to you? |
A54102 | must you persecute where your Head forbids it? |
A54102 | or out of your Communion either, do they teach the use of Fornication, and Idolatrous Food? |
A26410 | And are you not willing that those that never harmed you, should enjoy theirs? |
A26410 | And if ye salute your Brethren onely, what do ye more then others? |
A26410 | And those that were away, Did not they feel the smart of it? |
A26410 | And whether there is not a farther Aggravation, if the worser be allowed, and the better be suppressed? |
A26410 | And will you now force others to forsake what they are perswaded to? |
A26410 | And would you now most cruelly justle others out? |
A26410 | Are you glad that you are brought into the Land of your Nativity again? |
A26410 | Are you now setting up that Worship, that you judge to be agreeable to the mind of God? |
A26410 | Can you be contented to enjoy your own? |
A26410 | Did the hand of God follow them for their cruel and unjust Actings to you and the King, as most of you do say it did? |
A26410 | Did you cry out of them, and think you that others, will not cry out of you, if you be found such Actors to others? |
A26410 | Did you not all both abroad and at home, cry out of Oppression, Cruelty and Tyranny? |
A26410 | Do not even the Publicans the same? |
A26410 | Foot long in New Gate? |
A26410 | How fared it with you, you that were continually in England? |
A26410 | Was it evil in them to use you so, for your Loyalty to King Charles? |
A26410 | Was not those that bo ● e sway in England your continual Tormentors, your fear and dayly dread? |
A26410 | Was not your Loyalty to King Charles the first, and King Charles the second, a great cause of your Hardships, most of you? |
A26410 | Whether it be without Partiality? |
A26410 | do not even the Publicans the same? |
A26410 | for how can there be a choice, where the tryi ● g any but one is restrained? |
A26410 | whether they would be willing to be served so themselves? |
A34916 | Have we been at any time found plotters against the life of any person? |
A34916 | If we be in an error, why do not you come and convince us of that error? |
A34916 | Wo is me for thee; dost thou sport thy self, and make such actions thy mirth? |
A34916 | and have ye not read, how that the wicked and blood- thirsty shall not live out half their dayes? |
A34916 | and is it because our Religion is different from yours? |
A34916 | and must our innocent blood be mingled with thy daily Sacrifices? |
A34916 | do you think to force us to yours by sheding our bloods? |
A34916 | how darest thou then go about to limit and set bounds to his holy Spirit, in any appearance whatsoever in his People? |
A34916 | if we be deluded, why do not you come amongst us, and tell us wherein? |
A34916 | is all given up to obduracy and hardness of heart? |
A34916 | is it past the Magistrates power, or can not his sword comprehend it? |
A34916 | or any that have in the least fomented mischief, or trouble to the Government? |
A34916 | or have we been peace- breakers, or tumult- raisers? |
A34916 | or have we been sowers of sedition? |
A34916 | think ye God eternal is not as just as he hath been, and that he will not recompence your work into your bosom? |
A34916 | where are you that call your selves Overseers or Bishops, and by some( reverend Fathers in God?) |
A34916 | why do you hunt our lives, as a Partridge is hunted upon the Mountain? |
A34916 | wilt thou that comes forth of time, and ends in time, go about to comprehend eternitie in thy vain imaginations? |
A67481 | If there was not one Protestant Dissenter in England, how would that hinder a Popish Successor from bringing in Popery? |
A67481 | Pray Sir, were you never on the Negative side in any Law that was pass''d in those Parliaments wherein you sate? |
A54101 | And will they refuse to be unshakled? |
A54101 | Are there Sanballats, Tobiah''s, and Geshem''s, who vex themselves that there is come a Man to seek the Welfare of all his Israel? |
A54101 | Are there not also, to make the Dissenter compleatly miserable, Imprisoning, Banishing, murdering Laws? |
A54101 | Can the Church of England( Circumstances considered) possibly invent a better Security than she hath by his Majesties Declaration? |
A54101 | Has God put it into the King''s Heart to pitty them, who are left of the Captivity, such whom Penal Laws have not destroyed? |
A54101 | Hath not the Church of England persisted to exercise her Severities upon all Dissenters within her reach, even in the present Reign? |
A54101 | Have we not, with regret beheld the Execution of these Laws? |
A54101 | May this go for some sort of measure of the Churches Interest? |
A54101 | Shall the Fanaticks with alacrity come into the King''s Interest, and will the Church of England appear sullen, soure and averse thereto? |
A54101 | The Ecclesiasticks and some of their designing Adherents, are indeed angry, and why? |
A54101 | To them, what can the Invention of Cruelty it self add? |
A54101 | What would she further have? |
A54101 | Will any Member of the Church of England( so fam''d for Loyalty) repine at his Majesties being truly Glorious? |
A54101 | Will she call into question the Sincerity of his Majesties Promise? |
A54101 | surely no; and hath not this his Act of Tenderness, added highly to his Glory? |
B06802 | ''TWixt Heaven and thee, how sprung these fatal jars, That thou( Poor Robin) rail''st against the Stars? |
B06802 | To thee what have their influences done, With so much zeal to bark against the Moon? |
B06802 | What have those Reverend Prelates done to thee Thus to blaspheme their pious memory? |
A44672 | And by whose Authority were such Laws made? |
A44672 | And do all that go under the name of the Church of England agree among themselves? |
A44672 | And doth not the World know, that wherein we differ from them, we differ from the Papists too? |
A44672 | And hath God given any Men authority to make Laws against himself, and to deprive him of his just Rights from his own Creatures? |
A44672 | And herein is it not well known, that far the greater part of Reformed Christendom do more agree with us? |
A44672 | And is not this meer Accidental to Christianity and Protestantism? |
A44672 | And that, for the most part, wherein they differ from us, they seem to agree with them? |
A44672 | And where is that Man that will adventure to stand forth, and avow the hindering of such Persons from paying their Homage to the God that made them? |
A44672 | Are all fit to approach that sacred Table, whom the fear of ruin, or hope of gain may bring thither? |
A44672 | But we would fain know whose is that Holy Table? |
A44672 | If the Lord''s; are not persons to be admitted, or excluded upon his terms? |
A44672 | If we thus expostulate the matter on Gods behalf, and their own; will you cut off from God his Right in the Creatures he hath made? |
A44672 | Is it for our Reputation to Posterity, that the Memory of such a Law should be continued? |
A44672 | Is it the Table of this or that Party, or the Lord''s Table? |
A44672 | Is there any, that is not from God? |
A44672 | VVhether such Laws should be continued? |
A44672 | What reply can the matter admit? |
A44672 | When it is your own turn to be represented by others, is this part of the Trust you commit? |
A44672 | Whether it be reasonable to exclude, all that in every thing conform not to the Church of England, from any part or share of the Civil Power? |
A44672 | Whether the Dissenters are to be blamed for their holding distinct Meetings for the worship of God? |
A44672 | Will you cut off from them the means of their Salvation, upon these terms? |
A44672 | Would it not be a wise Constitution, that whosoever thinks it lawful to eat Black- Pudding, shall be capable of no Office,& c? |
A44672 | and one of less value be taken for qualified, because he does it a different way? |
A55112 | And the Lord Gray a Church of England Man? |
A55112 | And then what can better tend to the Stability, Peace and Union of the Kingdom, then the removing the causes aforesaid? |
A55112 | For answer, What kept out Popery before the Test was made? |
A55112 | I answer, Is not the Principles of the Church of England, and some others not far different, tho Dissenting fro ● them, the same? |
A55112 | It s well known to the contrary; Was not Monmouth a Church of England Man? |
A55112 | Was not Paul while Saul a Persecutor, yet by the Lor ● s Power Converted? |
A55112 | how many poor Souls hav ● you, by your cruel Laws, an ● Excecutione ● s, made to violate their Consciences, and make shipwrack of Faith? |
A55112 | it being but about ● ifteen Years old, and whether it may not be kept out for the future without the Test as well as before? |
A55112 | or whether it be the true Religion or no? |
A55112 | was it not thei ● way to convince by a holy and humble Life and Conversation, and sound Doctrine? |
A55112 | what Laws have been made under severe Penalties, to force People to this or that Religion, whether they have Faith in it or no? |
A42476 | And how your cause, and the Churches, will stand represented to them, and to all future Ages? |
A42476 | Could your conscience serve Not to be fools, and yet to let them starve? |
A42476 | Do not they know, that for Oathes the Land mourned? |
A42476 | In a word, whether you shall obey or Rebel? |
A42476 | Is there none dead By your defaults? |
A42476 | The undoing of your families for whom ye are to provide, unless ye will be worse then infidels: O your wives and children, what have they done? |
A42476 | What dissolution of order? |
A42476 | Which Oath I hope they took in truth, righteousness, and judgement: Do not they fear an Oath? |
A42476 | if they are thus impatient of their good and gentle, how impatient will they be of their morose and austere Masters? |
A42476 | what contempt of the Clergy? |
A42476 | what novelties of opinions? |
A42476 | what sacrilegious invasions of the Church? |
A42476 | what undecencies of administration? |
A42476 | you that repine at the imposing of the Liturgy, did not you impose the Directory? |
A33374 | Are other Kings wo nt thus to express themselves in their Edicts? |
A33374 | But was there ever any greater than this which they put in the very Edict we speak of? |
A33374 | Can it be thought, that, France will be at ease in this manner, or that wise people will think this an equitable way of governing? |
A33374 | Do Christian Ethics allow these most unchristian Policies? |
A33374 | How is it that the Prisons of the Kingdom are cram''d, with Fugitives stopt by the way? |
A33374 | How many Bankrupts made? |
A33374 | How many Manufactures ruined? |
A33374 | How many honest designs have they not disappointed? |
A33374 | How many industrious measures have they broken? |
A33374 | If they have had the power, to do within the Kingdom what they have lately put in execution, what will they not do as to Affairs without? |
A33374 | If they have not spared their own Country- men, with whom they had daily Commerce, who were serviceable to them, will they spare the unknown? |
A33374 | If we yield to this detestable Divinity, what will become of all us Christians? |
A33374 | The Donatists, had they any Edicts which would shelter''em from the insults of the Orthodox? |
A33374 | They dealt as it were in Common, when these Oppressions came upon them; and what Confusions have they not produced? |
A33374 | This must be an Epidemical Distemper that has seiz''d on his Majesties Subjects, that shall make them fly thus without reason? |
A33374 | Was there ever seen so much Impudence? |
A33374 | Will these Cruelties render his Majesties Name lovely in his History, to the Catholick or Protestant World? |
A33374 | and how many Families reduced to Beggary? |
A33374 | both of Soul and Body? |
A96992 | O Royall Soveraigne, how art thou worthy to be honoured, worthy to be loved, worthy to be desired of all that come unto thee, saying we are thy bones? |
A96992 | Should Gods poore saints expectations in England now be thwarted, how would their glory then be vailed? |
A96992 | When can we expect a through Reformation if not now? |
A96992 | the setling whereof who can expect whilst so many are seperated from, and will not be reconciled to God? |

A75884 | And if they have so done to the green Tree, what will they not do to the dry Tree? |
A75884 | And let us not think to be above our Master, for if they have called the Master of the house Belzebub, how much more them of his houshold? |
A75884 | Is not the Israel of God now Defied by the Great Goliahs of our Times? |
A75884 | Should such a man as I Betray and break the Lawes and Cause of Christ? |
A75884 | Should such a man as I take Sanctuary? |
A75884 | So must I say at this Day, Is there not a Cause? |
A64350 | A change in the Church naturally produceth some change in the State; and in such changes who can secure the Event for the better? |
A64350 | Against all this Craft and Strength, what( under God) can Protestants oppose which is equal to the Power of the Church of England? |
A64350 | And whilst they secretly Dissent, would you force them into an Hypocritical Compliance? |
A64350 | Can they both Assent and Dissent? |
A64350 | First, What those Ends are which are proposed by the Dissenters? |
A64350 | Have not these Trumpets and these poor Pitchers had their share, and a good share too, in bringing down the Walls of Jericho, and the Camp of Midian? |
A64350 | Now, a blessed exchange, were it not? |
A64350 | They demand of injudicious Men how they can, in Prudence, joyn with those who are at variance among themselves? |
A64350 | They will( it may be) say to me, can Men be persuaded two contrary ways? |
A64350 | What say some others? |
A64350 | When( said he) they have made the State present naught, no Remedy; we must have a better for it, and so a change needs: What Change? |
A64350 | and have not they( like the Story in Ezekiel) if I may so express it, Prophesy''d you up an Army? |
A55819 | And what can we say for our selves if we continue deaf as to all this? |
A55819 | But to come to the Liturgy it self; are there not many things in it which with some shew of reason our dissenting Brethren except against? |
A55819 | For doth he think we are bound never to make any new Constitutions in our Church, or abolish old ones, according as the exigencies of it doe require? |
A55819 | Have we not already lost our reputation with the people of the Land by insisting too rigorously on those things? |
A55819 | If so, why have we any Convocations at all? |
A55819 | Is it not enough that we have had already a twenty years War about them? |
A55819 | It is objected, If we once begin to alter, where shall we stop? |
A55819 | The seventh Objection is, If we make those alterations and so often change, how shall we answer the Papists, who will upbraid us with it? |
A55819 | To which I answer, Why more now than in 1662. when all readily complyed with and approved the like alterations? |
A55819 | and are there not many more which we our selves heartily wish might be amended and improved? |
A55819 | and hath not the Church ever asserted this power as one of the most essential things which belong to its Constitution? |
A55819 | and must it now renounce all this for the sake of this Gentleman''s motto? |
A54229 | And for packing of a Parliament, if that were the business and Design at last; why is it not attempted at first? |
A54229 | Besides, what have they further to seek, or which way can they possibly agree it? |
A54229 | But by the same reason that they can Repeal this, they may Enact another, and if so, may not the House of Peers be quickly another set of Men? |
A54229 | But if this were not so, is it the same thing to dispence with a Temporary, as a fundamental Law? |
A54229 | Does his going to a Conventicle naturally unqualifie him for a Constables Staff? |
A54229 | If no other security can be had, I say then, let this that is, remain, if there may be such a thing, why should we not imbrace it? |
A54229 | Is the love of Power first objected, and then a design to make a Common- Wealth with it? |
A54229 | Ought she to differ thus with any body? |
A54229 | Should a Mans being of any Religion, hinder him from serving the Country of his Birth? |
A54229 | The Tests, the chief, if not the only thing in debate, have they any Foundation in our Constitution? |
A54229 | To say there is none, is ridiculous; for who can tell, what they may think upon, or from other heads, what may occur to them? |
A54229 | What Tides are these in Government? |
A54229 | Who will Trade where his gettings are none of his own? |
A54229 | With that which says, thou shalt not go to a Conventicle, as with that which says, thou shalt not Kill or Steal? |
A54229 | and less with such a King, upon a point she can not maintain, and that is better left then kept, take the Question, either as to Right or Prudence? |
A54229 | and such Laws as are so specially accommodated, that the reason of them may not live three Years to an end? |
A54229 | and what State is safe, or happy, whose Foundations float upon such movable measures? |
A54229 | are there not some Laws that are of that moral and enduring nature, no time or accident of State can Dispense with? |
A54229 | one to engage the Crown, and t''other to oppose it, for t''other Worlds matters? |
A54229 | or believing Transubstantiation, render him uncapable of being a good Clark? |
A54229 | or live, where he is not sure of his Principle? |
A54229 | shall Opinion give rule to our Properties, and( like Daniels King) change Times and Laws at Pleasure? |
A34538 | And dare any say they are but a sound of words without matter agreeable to the Stile? |
A34538 | And if we yield not our controversies to be finally decided by this sacred Rule, whither shall we go, or wherein shall we all be bound up? |
A34538 | And who are the greater controlers of Gods wisdom, and usurpers upon his authority? |
A34538 | And why should any forbid them that are thus qualified to use their gift? |
A34538 | Are not the holy Scriptures of right both their Rule and ours? |
A34538 | Are some displeased and grieved that I do it? |
A34538 | As for such as rest in these things, what are they more in the eye of God, than the heathens that know him not? |
A34538 | But what glory or safety ● s there in a publick Order that is, and ever will be made the subject of controversie, more than the Rule of Unity? |
A34538 | Do some take occasion by my necessary use of a just liberty, to embolden themselves to sin? |
A34538 | For in what center will the judiciously Conscientious unite, if not in the revealed mind and will of God, as it is apprehended by them? |
A34538 | For why must the Spirit of God be thought to do less in exciting to good, then the Devill ordinarily doth in prompting to evil? |
A34538 | Have they any Authority over us, or are they any way a Rule unto us? |
A34538 | How are we obliged or concerned to conform to their usages more than they are to ours? |
A34538 | In the mean time, why may not these be upon as good terms under the present Government, as the Novatians were under the Government of their times? |
A34538 | Is Scripture liable to be perverted? |
A34538 | Is it plain that I ought to obey the commands of Rulers in things that have Gods allowance? |
A34538 | Is there obscurity and difficulty in the interpretation of Scripture? |
A34538 | Should any professing subjection to God, maintain under his charge and government an open Rebellion against God, or at least a totall neglect of him? |
A34538 | Should not God rule, where his Servant rules? |
A34538 | Should not the Stewards of the mysteries of God indeavour to supply what is lacking to such by reason of the rigourousness or negligence of others? |
A34538 | Should the matters of life and death eternal be delivered without feeling, as by men half asleep? |
A34538 | This striving to come so near them whether tends it, but to reduce us again into that Church? |
A34538 | What do ye more than Others? |
A34538 | What manner of Christian Church is that, which to prevent Heresie and Schism, takes order that its Members be no Christians? |
A34538 | What manner of civil State is that, which degrades the Subjects from Men to Beasts, for a more absolute Dominion over them? |
A34538 | Which is the Church, or an Answer to the Question, Where was your Church before Luther? |
A34538 | Why should we be tenacious of their Forms, to the scandal of those of our own Belief? |
A34538 | Yea, are not Converts bound by all means to seek the conversion of others? |
A44093 | And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
A44093 | Are not all Congregations, where the same Doctrine is preached, and the same Worship, I mean Acts of Worship, performed, of the same Communion? |
A44093 | But is it lawful to go to other Parish- Churches? |
A44093 | But, Sir, did ever any Man before him reason from impossibility, to unlawfulness of endeavour? |
A44093 | Doth the Difference in the Ministers Habits, and Words in Prayer, make a different Communion? |
A44093 | How can we think you believe, as you speak, when we see you do not live as you speak? |
A44093 | How is that proved? |
A44093 | How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? |
A44093 | Is it for their not agreeing with the Doctrines of Faith expressed in the Thirty Nine Articles? |
A44093 | Must we take in Poison instead of Food, or not be fed at all? |
A44093 | Or because she is fully constituted for Devotion? |
A44093 | Or because the Doctrine of our Church presseth a Necessity of an Holy Life in Order to Salvation? |
A44093 | Shall the following Words expound him? |
A44093 | That he doth not understand, what it is to be better saved, or more saved? |
A44093 | What doth he mean by a schismatical Separation? |
A44093 | What hath my Neighbour to do with my Soul, further than to admonish me, if he seeth Sin upon me? |
A44093 | What is the meaning of that? |
A44093 | Wherein it lies? |
A44093 | Which of the Ten Commandments it opposeth,& c? |
A34955 | But what do we talk of a Primitive Church? |
A34955 | But what shall we do now? |
A34955 | Do they depart from us that they may Worship God more in Spirit and in Truth? |
A34955 | Do they depart from us, because they can not joyn in our Publick Prayers, with Devotion enough? |
A34955 | Do they disobey because the thing is indifferent? |
A34955 | Does the Scripture fetter his Conscience? |
A34955 | For who gave me Authority to call that Evil which God Almighty hath not by some Law or other declared to be so? |
A34955 | Is it Superstition they dread? |
A34955 | Is this weakness? |
A34955 | May not their weakness deserve some Pitty too? |
A34955 | Must we be thus Angry with the Primitive Church, because we find too much Loyalty there? |
A34955 | Now then if the Schismatick tell us, his Conscience will not suffer him to submit; where then is his Liberty of Conscience? |
A34955 | Shall I be first guilty of Sin, a remisness at my Prayers; and then make my Sin an Apology for my Schism? |
A34955 | What? |
A34955 | Who can resist the power of the invincible Argument? |
A34955 | Who can withstand the Charm? |
A34955 | Why all this Noise? |
A34955 | Why do they thus fight with us disengeniously and basely, like Parthians, who turning their backs, scatter''d their Arrows from behind them? |
A34955 | Why then do our Schismaticks by going off from our Church, from the common safe Path,( to say no more) expose themselves to so great dangers? |
A34955 | alass when will this be? |
A34955 | and will Religion then, Religion, which is or should be the very Bond and Cement of Societies, will that also crumble us to pieces? |
A34955 | and 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 too, united in a beautiful Order and Symmetry of parts? |
A34955 | but have not they themselves some Tincture of that too, at least while they( I may venture to say) superstitiously avoid it? |
A34955 | have we not known the time, when they honour''d their Factious Preachers even to Superstition? |
A34955 | how could we have avoided the just imputation of a most Uncharitable Separation from the Ancient Church? |
A34955 | in what Aetna; but in his own zealous over- heated brain? |
A34955 | in what Vulcans Shop? |
A34955 | or because commanded? |
A34955 | shall Mahomet go to the Mountain, or the Mountain come to Mahomet? |
A34955 | shall these Mens Conscience come to the Law, or the Law to these Mens Conscience? |
A34955 | shew where? |
A34955 | where were they forged? |
A34955 | who put those Fetters upon his Conscience, but himself; what Cyclops made those Fetters? |
A47888 | And what Then? |
A47888 | And what was the business, but This? |
A47888 | Averrs?) |
A47888 | BUT is it True then, that the Popish Emissaryes are so busy, and bear so great a sway among Our Dissenters? |
A47888 | But What? |
A47888 | But what is a NARRATIVE? |
A47888 | How come the Multitude to be Judges of Plots, and Popery, more than of Other Crimes and Misdemeanours? |
A47888 | How does all This amount to the Proof of a Faction? |
A47888 | How it comes, of a Down right Popish- Plot, to be a Popishly- Affected- Plot? |
A47888 | If you ask me, To what End? |
A47888 | Is This doing as we would be done by? |
A47888 | NOW the Narrative here in question, is the Narrative of The PLOT; but then there will arise Another Question; Of WHAT Plot? |
A47888 | Or is it doing either as we Have been done by? |
A47888 | Or, What''s the Benefit of Imposing these Flams upon the Nation? |
A47888 | Shall any man Argue that the Disparagement of a Juggle, weakens a Truth? |
A47888 | Shall any man Infer That there were no black Bills Provided, because there were no Arms found in Sr Henry Titchburns house? |
A47888 | What a Bustle there was about Mr. Langhorns being Bury''d in the Temple, and what Remarks upon the Government for shewing That Countenance to Papists? |

A47888 | What is become of the Manhood, and Generosity of the English Nation; That we are fal''n into This Insatiate Thirst of Bloud? |
A47888 | What is my Affirming that Langhorn was not Bury''d in the Temple, to the Business of Valladolid, or Salamanea? |
A47888 | Where to our Fellow- Subjects; in our Needlesse, and Unmannerly Importunities, for more Rigour then the very Letter of the Law will bear? |
A47888 | Where''s our Respect to our Superiours; while we thus Arraign Authority? |
A47888 | must the Evidence therefore of the Pistol and the Dagger be one too? |
A50967 | And are Penal Laws the onely strength by which you Support the Church? |
A50967 | Are you the only Pillar upon which the best Church in the World is Built? |
A50967 | Do you not Attribute too much to your self in this? |
A50967 | Does any thing of this kind Flow naturally from the King''s Declaration? |
A50967 | Does that Engage or Incline you, or any Man else to teach any Doctrine contrary to his own Sentiment? |
A50967 | Here is a far fetch''d Inference; How would you be understood? |
A50967 | Is the whole, and every part of the Declaration contrary to all, and every part of your Doctrine by Law Established? |
A50967 | Is this Intended as a Memorial of unmannerly Disobedience at First, and undutiful Carriage at Last? |
A50967 | No more Charity, then to be Provoked to be your Enemies by it? |
A50967 | No more Resolution then to be Discouraged by it? |
A50967 | Of what us ● is the Rubrick to which they have Subscribed, which directs them to read what the King or their Ordnary enjoyns? |
A50967 | You take the Declaration to be a Contradiction of the Doctrine of your Church by Law Established; In what Sence shall I take your say so? |
A50967 | or what is that you signify, by your Resusing to Thank Him, which must now be Recompenced by Reading? |
A34533 | And what Prince that hath cast off the Popes yoke, would willingly come under it again? |
A34533 | And why may it not be minded by Subjects, and spoken of without any hint or thought of Rebellion? |
A34533 | And why should the judgments of such men be rack''d, and their spirits vexed with curious scrutinies? |
A34533 | And will the chief Shepherd at his appearing justifie this usage of his faithful Servants? |
A34533 | But can they believe that the Church of God in these Nations, is terminated in them alone? |
A34533 | Can a man by Subscription and Practice, allow those things which his Conscience rationally doubts to be sinful? |
A34533 | Can nothing undo a Kingdom, but Rebellion and Treason? |
A34533 | Doth the Lord of the Harvest command that such Labourers be thrust out of his Service? |
A34533 | For if God hath received them, why should their fellow- servants reject or afflict them causlesly? |
A34533 | Hath Popery its advantages to dispose Subjects to security and blind obedience? |
A34533 | If it be said, Who shall judg what things are necessary? |
A34533 | If the Affairs of the Commonwealth should go backwards, can the Clergy alone be at rest in their Honour, Power and Wealth? |
A34533 | Is it their honour, strength, or safety, that such men should be numbred among their opposites? |
A34533 | Is not Moderation and Charity far more excellent, then glorying in Opinions, Formalities, and petty matters, to the regret of many Consciences? |
A34533 | May we mind, without offence, the event of things among us? |
A34533 | Or that it dreads a general diffusion of knowledg in the people? |
A34533 | Shall it be said of the English Prelacy, That it can not stand without the ejection of Thousands of Orthodox, Pious Ministers? |
A34533 | The ancient Sacred Bonds of Fidelity, are not questioned; and if they do not, what others can oblige and awe the Conscience? |
A34533 | Was there ever a greater Separation from the Church of England, then now is? |
A34533 | Was there ever less satisfaction among Multitudes every where, t ● at do yet frequent her Assemblies? |
A34533 | What can be of greater concernment to Governors, then to discern and consider the state of their people, as it is indeed? |
A34533 | What can it avail, to disturb a People that would settle in peace, and whose Peace is accommodated to the Publick Weal, and bound up together with it? |
A34533 | What if those that question her Injunctions, should be weak, nice and captious? |
A34533 | What need hath the Church to enjoyn more then what is necessary to Faith and Order? |
A34533 | Who, or what is there almost, that this or the like Latitude would not encompass, when hearty endeavours are put forth to gain men? |
A34533 | Why will the established Clergy refuse their Brethren, and set them at such a distance? |
A48867 | And will you suppose they will do so no more? |
A48867 | Are all the Church of England cruel merciless Persecutors, because some of them are so( and that not a few of them neither)? |
A48867 | Are they Droans that live by the sweat of other mens Brows; or rather, are they not painful and industrious, addicted to Trade and Manufactories? |
A48867 | Are they all Debauched, or guilty of Adultery, Atheism, Blasphemy, and Murther? |
A48867 | Are they all Socinians? |
A48867 | Besides, who shall Elect such great numbers of Papists, and where will they be Chosen? |
A48867 | Can you desire again to be in bondage, even whilst your Wounds are bleeding fresh, and your Backs soar with the Lashes you received from them? |
A48867 | Is he not willing and desirous that an equal Liberty to all should grow up with, and be twisted in his Government? |
A48867 | Is not a great part of the Trade of the Nation managed by them, whereby the Poor are imployed, His Majesties Customs and Revenues increased? |
A48867 | Is that lawful, commendable, or a Vertue in you, which is hateful, wicked, and abominable in others? |
A48867 | Shall we, that have wofully experienced the verity hereof, approve the contrary, or in any measure contract this Guilt? |
A48867 | Were there no Ministers Silenced, nor persons Executed, Banished, or Imprisoned before your days? |
A48867 | Where is that person of any Note or Figure in the World, that would be so used for his kindness and benignity? |
A48867 | and if so, by what Laws? |
A48867 | and who were the Authors or Actors therein? |
A48867 | are your Sufferings the first persecution by these Laws? |
A48867 | doth he not establish his Throne on that Basis? |
A48867 | hath he ever Brow- beaten any man for his Opinion? |
A48867 | hath he ever solicited any man to change his Opinion and become Roman Catholique, to increase his Party? |
A48867 | hath he made any Limitations or Restrictions therein, to exclude any for their Religious Sentiments? |
A48867 | hath he not laid the greatest Obligations on Himself, to assure the whole World that he will be true and steady thereunto? |
A48867 | or what reason is there for his frequent solemn Promises to make it good? |
A48867 | what need else was there of publishing those Reasons, since a bare Indulgence without them, might have served a Turn? |
A48867 | what then means the many Petitions and Apologies against them, made by Dissenters in each Kings Reign since they were first Enacted? |
A48867 | who, or where is the instance of this kind? |
A59544 | And my business is to Examine whether such a Belief or Perswasion of the Vnlawfulness of our Communion will justifie any Mans Separation from us? |
A59544 | And what is to be done by such Persons, in order, either to their Communicating, or not Communicating with us, with a safe Conscience? |
A59544 | And what other measures have we of any Mans Sincerity or Hypocrisie? |
A59544 | And will it be a sufficient Excuse or Justification of my Action in such a Case to say; that indeed herein I did but Act according to my Perswasion? |
A59544 | But how is this to be done? |
A59544 | But what is to be done in this Case? |
A59544 | But what of all this? |
A59544 | For if indeed they did believe, it was a Sin in them to joyn with us in our Prayers and Sacraments; with what Conscience dare they do it at all? |
A59544 | I say, what is there that more concerns him to do? |
A59544 | If he saith he is bound in Conscience to do this or the other thing, whether he doth not mean this? |
A59544 | If he saith that he can do it with a Safe Conscience whether he hath any other meaning than this? |
A59544 | If he saith that it is against his Conscience to do such an Action; whether he means any more than this? |
A59544 | Is now such a Person as this Guilty of Idolatry in these Practices or is he not? |
A59544 | It will be said, What, would you have a Man do in this Case? |
A59544 | Now I pray, what do we mean by these expressions? |
A59544 | Or how far it will do it? |
A59544 | That he can not joyn in our Worship without Sin: what will we say to such a Man as this? |
A59544 | Well, but is there no avoiding of this? |
A59544 | Well, now the point is, Whether such a Man, believing as he doth, be upon that Account acquitted from the Sin of Idolatry? |
A59544 | What is the Notion that any of us hath of a Wilful Sin, or a Sin against Knowledg, but this? |
A59544 | What now shall we say to this? |
A59544 | What therefore should every Dissenter among us do, that hath any regard to his Duty, and would preserve a good Conscience? |
A59544 | Where then was their Conscience? |
A59544 | Will we still brand him for a Schismatick, notwithstanding he hath done all he can, to bring himself over to us; but can not? |
A59544 | Will we still say that this Man must either Conform, though against his Conscience; or he is a Schismatick before God? |
A59544 | Would we have them joyn with us in these Practices which they verily believe to be Sins? |
A59544 | whether they be a part of this Rule, and do really bind a Mans Conscience to the Observance of them or no? |
A48123 | And that in fine, they should again publickly adore those vain Idols? |
A48123 | And where is the Protestant who would buy Liberty of Conscience at so dear a rate, and not rather choose to continue deprived of it all his Life? |
A48123 | And whosoever Suffers and Approves the King in the Violation of these Rights in some things, does he not thereby Authorise him to violate them in all? |
A48123 | And with what inhumanity she spilt the Blood of her most faithful Subjects to accomplish that design? |
A48123 | And yet after all, what scruple was there made to violate so many Laws, so many Promises, and so many Oaths? |
A48123 | Are not the Rights of the People concerned in the one, as well as in the other? |
A48123 | But above all, could you resolve by your Conduct to condemn that of those generous Confessors? |
A48123 | Can you doubt of this, Gentlemen? |
A48123 | How many Declarations, how many Edicts did he set out to that purpose? |
A48123 | How many Oaths were taken to confirm those Edicts? |
A48123 | How often did our King promise us to preserve us in our Priviledges? |
A48123 | Is this the Acknowledgment which you ought to have made to them for that Charity, with which they had received and comforted you in your Exile? |
A48123 | Is this the Act of Faithful Ministers of Christ? |
A48123 | Is this to Answer the Glorious Quality of Confessors, of which you so much vaunt your selves? |
A48123 | Should they for enjoying a Liberty of Conscience so ill assured, shut their Eyes to all other Considerations? |
A48123 | Were not both the one and the other made for the Security of the Protestant Religion, and of those who profess it? |
A48123 | Were they not both established by the King and Parliament? |
A48123 | Would you indeed, Gentlemen, see England once more submitted to the tyranny of the Pope, whose Yoke it so happily threw off in the last age? |
A48123 | You who so lately came from making a sad Experiment of it? |
A48123 | himself solemnly promise by several Edicts and Declarations to maintain us in all the Liberties which were granted to us by the Edict of Nantes? |
A47846 | & c. — And must This Covenant be Abjur''d now? |
A47846 | ( B) Have you not sins enow of your own, but will you wrap your selves up in the Treachery, Murther, Blood, Cruelty and Tyranny of others? |
A47846 | ( C) What? |
A47846 | ( M) Who were they but the poorer and meaner sort of People that at the first joyn''d with the Ministers to raise the Building of Reformation? |
A47846 | ( P) A Word to the People: Are Magistrates your Servants? |
A47846 | 8] Where are our Moseses, our Eliah''s? |
A47846 | Abjure such a Covenant? |
A47846 | Darst thou be so Impudent to put thy self in Gods Stead; to meddle with Mens Consciences, and Lord it in Religious Concerns? |
A47846 | Did not Prolacy? |
A47846 | H. What hope that the Reformed Religion will be protected and maintained by the Son, which was so irreligiously betray''d by the Father? |
A47846 | Have we so learn''d Christ, as to make Scurrility and Railing the Badge of our Profession? |
A47846 | Is it the Language of the Disciples of Jesus Christ? |
A47846 | Is not God''s Own Word, and God Himself too after a sort Abjured in That Act, whoever are guilty of it? |
A47846 | Is this pretended Tenderness of Christianity the stile of the Gospel, or no? |
A47846 | Let the Reader Judge n ● w if These be not fit Workmen to be employ''d in the Repairing of our Breaches? |
A47846 | Now can it be imagin''d, that any Man will take upon him to defend the Late Sedition, that does not stand as well- affected to another? |
A47846 | Thine own Commons, who are so Zealous for thine Honour? |
A47846 | What Instigations are there to any execrable Practice upon the Sacred Person of His Majesty in( Q. and R?) |
A47846 | What Warrant, Command, or Commission had Phineas, which we can not now expect? |
A47846 | What can be more Inflaming, Scandalous and Pharisaical then the Clause,( C?) |
A47846 | What horrible Affronts upon the King, Parliament and Government in( P?) |
A47846 | When, O God; When( I say) wilt thou Vote amongst the Honourable Commons? |
A47846 | Where are those that lay to heart the danger of the Ark of God? |
A47846 | You have destroy''d Baal and his Priests; but have you been zealous against Golden Calves, and the Priests of the Lowest of the People? |
A47846 | but the very Principals of the Dissenting Ministers? |
A47846 | or more Seditious then( D. E. F. and G?) |
A47846 | when we have so much appear''d against Popery and Superstition, shall we now begin to think of Indifferency and Toleration? |
A47846 | when wilt thou take a Chair, and sit amongst the House of Peers? |
A47846 | — What Authority had a Parliament to give away our Birth- Rights? |
A33894 | And did they not prove false Prophets unto them, and were deceived by them, and led into destruction? |
A33894 | And have they not proved false Prophets, Antichrists, Deceivers, to all ● o t ● of Powers that hath been within these few years? |
A33894 | And now are they not turned to the King, and Preach Peace unto Him, and set all their old servants at nought? |
A33894 | And now what is become of these men called Ministers who( as I said) before the war, and in the war, Preach''d and Prayed against the King? |
A33894 | And then did not they turn to the Army and Protector, and Preach''d Peace and Prosperity to them, and deceived them likewise? |
A33894 | Are these men to be followed as leaders? |
A33894 | Are these men to be regarded as to teach the way to eternall life? |
A33894 | Are they not guilty of all the blood- shed in these Nations? |
A33894 | Can any Government be secure whilst they are the men set up, and their wayes upheld after such a manner as now it is? |
A33894 | Did not they Prophesie Peace and Prosperity to the King and his Party, and did they not deceive him? |
A33894 | Do you think that you do God service to kill us? |
A33894 | For what is it that we desire, which ought not to be granted in reason and equity? |
A33894 | How many thousands have erred and perished by flatterers, but whoever that did hearken to reproof did amiss? |
A33894 | Is the Lord God honoured by these things? |
A33894 | O you that are now Rulers; Are these men to be trusted? |
A33894 | Who do they turn from the evil of their wayes? |
A33894 | and whether the ground of all this be not the large maintenance which is settled upon the Office, and so a Law to force it? |
A33894 | and whether the men called Ministers be at any time with any Government all satisfied? |
A33894 | and whether the same God hath not still reserved all power in his own hands, and can at his pleasure cast you down, as well as lift you up? |
A33894 | and whether their siding do not lead people to side? |
A33894 | and whether there hath been any war in a Nation and the Ministry( so called) had not the chief hand in it? |
A33894 | and whether they be not the most Treacherous, Perfideous, Changable, Deceitfull people of any sort of men? |
A33894 | is the King honoured by any of this? |
A67472 | 15 who compass Sea and Land to get Parties to be of their opinions, and by that means beget confusion in both? |
A67472 | And before I pass further, I pray observe, it was Gods Will, that his only Son our Saviour should be betrayed: But who would be the Judas to do it? |
A67472 | And may not the Revenue of a Bishop be thought a just reward for his forty years past study, and his present care, though he preach not? |
A67472 | And next, let me ask you this friendly question: Do you think there is such a sin as Heresie? |
A67472 | And, if by a name of distinction? |
A67472 | But who knows the limits of Sedition? |
A67472 | Can you think the hearing his Masters direction is serving him? |
A67472 | Can you think you are at this time scrving God, or satisfying your own curiosity or malicious humour? |
A67472 | Nay, I ask again, What if we forget or neglect the tender Consciences of our own Party, and comply with yours? |
A67472 | Or could Judas look back with comfort that he was used in betraying him? |
A67472 | Or the Souldiers that Crucified him? |
A67472 | Or, that a year hence their Disciples, or their Successours shall rest satisfied with what is now desired or granted? |
A67472 | Or, when the fire is kindled, which is intended by seditious men, who can, who is able to quench it? |
A67472 | What care will you, or those of your Party, take for their tender Consciences? |
A67472 | What security can you or they give us, that this shall satisfie them so as to ask no more when this is granted? |
A66383 | According to this principle[ no Communion at all, if not in all] where shall we rest? |
A66383 | And to put Religion in reading or uttering Words in a stinted or conceived Form, what is it less than Superstition? |
A66383 | And what reason have you to charge any other mens sins on them,& c. or to think it unlawful to joyn with the good for the sake of the bad? |
A66383 | Is it better in regard of others, in regard of the publick, for the helping me in all my relations? |
A66383 | Is not this to fill the Conscience with scruples, and the Church with rents? |
A66383 | Let these men consider, that Christ is here feasting with his members; will they be ashamed to sit at meat there, where Christ is not ashamed to sit? |
A66383 | So M r Brinsley, Suppose some just grievances may be found among us, yet are they tolerable? |
A66383 | So when it s objected; How can we expect a blessing upon the labours of such though they preach truth? |
A66383 | So when this Question was put, Are they not at all times obliged to use the means which are most edifying? |
A66383 | Thus it is resolved also by one of a more rigid way, who puts this Question; Whether members of particular Churches may hear indifferently elsewhere? |
A66383 | What opinion the sober and eminent Non- Conformists have of Communion with the Church of England? |
A66383 | Will you say therefore that God approveth or consenteth to all these sins? |
A66383 | how zealous were they against Separation? |
A66383 | may it not help one way and hinder many ways? |
A66383 | where Christ vouchsafes fellowship shall man renounce it? |
A34754 | And which of these two did Thwart the Holy Scriptures most? |
A34754 | But Reading is Teaching: Very good; What then? |
A34754 | But how do you know, that you judge Right in this Case now? |
A34754 | But suppose you are right in this point, What Efficacy hath the Clergy''s Reading the King''s Declaration, to take off the Tests and Penal Laws? |
A34754 | But what is the ground of this Jealousie? |
A34754 | But, Why may I not then Read a Homily for Transubstantiation, or Invocation of Saints, if the King sends me such? |
A34754 | But, are not the People Judges for themselves of what you Read? |
A34754 | But, what is this Universal Toleration? |
A34754 | How can you tell that? |
A34754 | If the Order be in your Opinion Sinful, Why do you not shew, what Law of God is Broken by it? |
A34754 | If we fall after Reading, this is the way never to Rise more: And what mean you by that? |
A34754 | Is not this to Recommend the Clergy, as Persons of great Tenderness toward the People? |
A34754 | Let the Question be, Whether every thing Read in the Church, be a part of Divine Service? |
A34754 | Must the Clergy, or His Majesty judge when His Declaration is sufficiently made known? |
A34754 | Where does the Scriptures forbid it? |
A34754 | Who are they that thus thought formerly? |
A34754 | had, to order the Book of Sports to be Read there? |
A65301 | Are we carried every day up to Heaven in a fiery Chariot of Love? |
A65301 | Before I come to the Application, here''s a Question arises, — Why does God make Light to arise to his People, in an hour of Darkness? |
A65301 | Does God make Light, and Joy, and Peace, to arise to the Righteous? |
A65301 | Having done this, if you ask me yet further, what we must do in this time of Darkness, till God makes Light spring up to us? |
A65301 | Is it thus with us? |
A65301 | Jonah called the Whales belly, the belly of Hell; Why so? |
A65301 | Let''s bring our Graces to the Touch- Stone: What Faith have we? |
A65301 | Our Heart and Flesh cry out for the Living God? |
A65301 | Pray observe: Mercy, what ca n''t it do? |
A65301 | The fourth Inference is this: Does God cause Light to spring up to the Upright in all their Darknes? |
A65301 | There ariseth Light in[ Darkness] What''s meant here by Darkness? |
A65301 | What Love to God have we? |
A65301 | What were the World without Light, but a Dark Prison? |
A65301 | What''s meant by Light here? |
A65301 | What''s the mixed Cup? |
A65301 | What''s this Red Wine in the Cup? |
A65301 | While God so delights in this Darling Attribute of Mercy, why should we despair? |
A65301 | Who are here meant by the Upright? |
A65301 | Who would ever have thought that God should have made a Caus ● way for his People to have marched through on, in the midst of the Sea? |
A65301 | Why may not Mercy give the casting Voice for this Nation? |
A65301 | Why may we not hope that the Morning- Star of Deliverance and Mercy may yet appear unto this Island? |
A65301 | Why should we despair? |
A65301 | Why then should we despond, or throw away our Anchor? |
A65301 | Why( I say) should we despond, when''t is God''s great Project and Design, to lighten his Peoples Darkness? |
A65301 | Why, what did Moses do? |
A65301 | are we hid by Faith in the bleeding Wounds of Christ? |
A65301 | does Conscience witness that we not only serve him, but love him? |
A65301 | that God should have made Heaven a Grainary, to drop down Manna for his People to feed on? |
A65301 | till Mercy comes riding to England in the Chariot of Salvation? |
A65301 | who would not serve this God? |
A65301 | — What was this Candle? |
A32107 | And further, I would gladly understand; are any persons sent to go and preach the Gospel after their own sense? |
A32107 | And how shall the Contemners of your Gospel be left unexcusable, but by evidence of their Authority who are sent to reveal it? |
A32107 | And was such Ordination good and valid, yea or no? |
A32107 | Are not all Christians under the same obligations of humility and contempt of Riches as the Clergy? |
A32107 | But all Dissenters proclaim their Extraction from the same Original: which of them shall we believe? |
A32107 | But as to your Party( Sir) I pray who gave them any Authority to Preach their Reformation to these Kingdomes? |
A32107 | But in the last place, can not you justifie your selves by the Sobriety and vertue of your Lives? |
A32107 | By the Loyalty of your Actions? |
A32107 | For erecting an Altar to be ascended by steps? |
A32107 | Fourthly, Or will you derive your Ministry from Christ and his Apostles? |
A32107 | Give me leave to ask whether immediately or mediately? |
A32107 | Hath the Spirit any need of a Directory? |
A32107 | If good, wherefore will you needs abolish it, as repugnant to the Word of God? |
A32107 | If not, what will become of your Orders? |
A32107 | Immediately you will not say; if mediately, I pray inform us by whom? |
A32107 | In the Affairs of this World, Ambassadors you know, must not want their Credentials; how much less the Ambassadors of Religion? |
A32107 | In which of the Gospels are to be found those three significant Ceremonies required at the taking your solemn League& Covenant? |
A32107 | Nor will it avail you to return the question upon our selves, who sent us to Reform the Church of Rome? |
A32107 | Or Solomon for keeping a Feast of seven days for the Dedication of the Altar? |
A32107 | Or from whose hands did your Puritan Ancestors receive their Mission and Ordination? |
A32107 | Or what warrant had Hezekiah for continuing the Feast of unleavened bread seven days longer then the time appointed by the Law? |
A32107 | Quid Christo cum Belial? |
A32107 | Thirdly, with our right hand lift up bare? |
A32107 | To satisfie the Jews and their question, By what authority doest thou these things? |
A32107 | To what purpose, is all this waste of precious ointment on the feet of Christ? |
A32107 | Well, Fifthly, Some body must send them to Preach the Gospel: Was it the CHURCH of Rome? |
A32107 | Whether the Preachers of Socinian Doctrine, have need of any extraordinary mission? |
A32107 | Yes, I have heard you say; and is not this to confess your selves the Emissaries of Antichrist, that Man of Sin, the Whore of Babylon? |
A32107 | and How should they Preach except they were sent? |
A32107 | be pleas''d to tell us what People do you mean? |
A32107 | could he confer a power on others, which he had not received, of ordaining Ministers? |
A32107 | for speaking to him your sudden and extemporary thoughts, but speaking to the people with a studied and composed Sermon? |
A32107 | might it not have been sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? |
A32107 | what Divine warrant can you produce for your Singing to God in a set Form,& refusing to pray in a set Form? |
A32107 | what express Scripture have you for your form of publick pennance, called the stool of repentance? |
B06739 | ''T is Sacriledge to rob the Church; and thence Since you have stole your self, what''s your offence? |
B06739 | And may my breath be still perfum''d, why not? |
B06739 | And would you have us silent too below? |
B06739 | And you know who they were that gave the blow, And then cry''d, Prophesie who smote thee so? |
B06739 | But I''m thy Son, and must corrected be; But why then dost thou turn thy bum to me? |
B06739 | But art thou dead indeed? |
B06739 | But shall I not, kind Wild, remember thee, Who hast bequeath''d me such a Legacie? |

A88100 | But to passe over Temporal businesses, how violent have our Bishops beene in their owne Canons about Ceremonies, and indifferencies? |
A88100 | But what? |
A88100 | Can Puritans speake worse of any, then he doth of Puritans? |
A88100 | For examples sake, how many differences have we even about indifferent Ceremonies; and that meerly amongst Protestants? |
A88100 | It is true, the Church had Bishops before in its times of persecution, but of what power or pompe? |
A88100 | What might they judge of the root, from whence these fruits sprung? |
A88100 | and what disturbance hath that violence produced? |
A88100 | did he condemne all Scots alike, or all Bishophaters alike, or joyne the English in like condemnation? |
A88100 | did not King James know his owne enemies, or how to blame them? |
A88100 | did they conclude these fruits good? |
A88100 | must we needs follow them, or this Bishop in this? |
A88100 | or did they conceive that such fruits might grow upon a good stocke? |

A88100 | where men know like Christians, but live like Heathens? |

A33959 | How ill will it sound in the Ears of Posterity, when they shall hear of Protestants being so severly dealt with for Trifles of Difference? |
A33959 | Is it not apparent, how they already begin to undermine and blow up the Truth of the late Horrid Plot, so miraculously discover''d? |
A33959 | Leaving then the Civil Power to its self, the Question is between the Dissenters and their Opposers, What a Sectary is? |
A33959 | Now, if it should be asked, What the Civil Magistrate requires from hence? |
A33959 | Or whether onely such a Religion as carries onely a pretence and colour, without any truth and sincerity? |
A33959 | Put then this Question to the Informer; Did the Dissenters use any other Prayers than what were agreeable to the Church of England? |
A33959 | Supposing the said Judges produce no Authority from the King, yet proceed to Excommunication, whether the said Excommunication be not void? |
A33959 | The marks of the real Christianity and legality of this Assembly are the true Preaching the Word, and due Administration of the Sacrament? |
A33959 | The next Question then will be, Whether they be Schismatics? |
A33959 | Upon the whole, suppose this Question should be put, Whether the Apostles did use any other Form than that which was taught them by Christ? |
A33959 | What is a Schismatic? |
A33959 | What tho the Civil Magistrate have been so careful to make Provision for the Repose and Quiet of the Kingdom? |
A33959 | Whether a Dissenter may be lawfully prohibited from Preaching the Word of God in truth and sincerity, at any time, or in any place? |
A33959 | Whether by the blessings and rewards that are promised to those that propagate the Doctrine of Christ, they are not obliged to do it? |
A33959 | Whether he shall incur any penalty for not doing that which the Law requires not at his Hands? |
A33959 | Whether in point of Appeal to make Parties themselves Judges, be a thing usual? |
A33959 | Whether it be not more proper to begin with Popery before they go about to extirpate Non- Conformity? |
A33959 | Whether it be prudence to afflict Protestants at home, when we entertain afflicted Protestants from abroad? |
A33959 | Whether the Example of Christ and his Disciples does not admit of Preaching in Houses, Streets and Fields to more than five in a Company? |
A33959 | Whether the said Judges be not Indictable upon a Pramunire? |
A33959 | Which things not being considered, how uncharitably do they fall under the censure of Lavish and Inveterate Pulpits? |
A33959 | Whither it be not proper for the persons cited, to demand the sight and hearing of the Commission, by which the Judges claim their Jurisdiction? |
A33959 | for their own safety? |
A33959 | or liable to an Action, as Counsel shall direct? |
A33738 | And that themselves have chiefly contributed to their own Miseries, and entail''d a Plague on all their Posterity? |
A33738 | But how do we demonstrate that there is no Truth in the Particulars he hints at? |
A33738 | But why must we needs suspect our King? |
A33738 | Can it be imagined, That the King can ever pass it? |
A33738 | For Why may there not be a Civil Test form''d, altogether as effectual, and yet not so obnoxious to Exceptions, as these Religious Ones? |
A33738 | His Hypothesis he thought, might amuse, but where is his Assumption that should prove? |
A33738 | His first Instruction to Dissenters is, that they have cause to suspect their new Friends; and have they none to suspect their old Enemies? |
A33738 | How does it appear that the Sentiments of the Church of England towards Dissenters are chang''d, unless it be to a greater degree of Malice? |
A33738 | Is it any wonder that the Cause ceasing, the Effect should also cease? |
A33738 | Is it that they should consent to repeal all the Penal Laws against Roman Catholicks, with a Reserve of those against Protestant Dissenters? |
A33738 | Is there any Body that deserves not to wear a Muckender, but must needs see through all this? |
A33738 | Nay, have not They themselves already by their Proxies made Overtures to the direct contrary? |
A33738 | Or can we think that Gospel- saying a Paradox, That those to whom much has been forgiven, should love much? |
A33738 | Or that their Haughtiness is for ever extinct, but rather encreased? |
A33738 | That apprehend their Wages would be retrench''d, if they should be moderate? |
A33738 | That are under a Contract which obliges them upon a Forfeiture to make use of Inflaming Eloquence? |
A33738 | To whom the Injury? |
A33738 | Was it that her Sons should all turn Papists? |
A33738 | What better Hopes can Dissenters conceive of another Parliament of Bigotted Church- Men than of the Last? |
A33738 | What has the illustrious unknown T. W. to say to his humble dissenting Servant? |
A33738 | What it was His Church refused, rather than criminally comply with? |
A33738 | Whether Persecution in it self be lawful? |
A33738 | Will none of these Expedients, or such better ones as may be contriv''d, allay your Fears? |
A33738 | Would it not be extravagant Rudeness to offer it? |
A33738 | or any Infringment of all the rest? |
A33738 | why we may not burn a Man for his supposed Error in Religion, as well as take away his Goods, or his Birth- right? |
A26142 | 16. asks the Question, Whether so many solemn Resolutions of all the Judges of England in the Exchequer- Chamber, are not to be rely''d upon for Law? |
A26142 | Again, Shall a publick Damage and Injury to the whole Nation, be more dispensable by the King, than the loss of one private man? |
A26142 | And after all, shall the King( if he pleases) still make the like Grants? |
A26142 | And did ever any Law since the Reformation give us so great a security as this? |
A26142 | And is not a Judgment in Parliament, and by Act of Parliament, of the highest Authority? |
A26142 | And this is properly called, The Matter in Law, and the great Point of the Case? |
A26142 | Are we not all concluded by what a Law says? |
A26142 | But after all this securing against the Danger from Popish Recusants, how shall we do to secure against the Danger of Dispensations? |
A26142 | But are they so( as the former) in his own personal right, as his Lands and other Revenues are? |
A26142 | But does this justifie the present Dispensation now in dispute? |
A26142 | But how easie would it be for one that obtains such a Patent, to get the Non obstante to be inserted? |
A26142 | But is there any necessity of their being in Offices? |
A26142 | But what signifies a Promise, where a Law and an Oath is too weak to secure it? |
A26142 | Does the King by this( which the Judges mis- call a Restraint) want for choice of fit persons to serve in Offices? |
A26142 | Doth the Publick Weal suffer by this Restraint? |
A26142 | Hath not the King Protestant Subjects enow to bear Offices? |
A26142 | Hath not the late Act( says he) made it impossible, absolutely impossible for the most concealed Papist that is, to get into any kind of Employment? |
A26142 | Here is no occasion taken to find fault with them for their Opinion; let them keep their Religion still, if they like it so well, who hinders them? |
A26142 | How many Acts have been made against pardoning of Murder, and to make void such Pardons, and what fruit have they had? |
A26142 | If it were a Prerogative in the King, how came it to be so long before the King''s learned Council could start it? |
A26142 | In iis que vult, est ei pro ratione voluntas nec est qui dicat illi, Domine cur ita facis? |
A26142 | Is not this to commit the Lamb to the custody of the Wolf? |
A26142 | May I not do what I will with my own? |
A26142 | Must they needs be Guardians of the Protestant Religion? |
A26142 | Now that King that made his Title by Conquest, might carve out to himself what Prerogatives he pleased; And who durst dispute it with him? |
A26142 | The second Point is, Whether the Dispensation pleaded by the Defendant, be a good Bar to the Action of Debt? |
A26142 | Upon the word( Concessa) I would gladly be satisfy''d when or by whom that Power was ever granted to the King; where shall we find that Grant? |
A26142 | Will any man presume to say the person is unfit, when the King, who is the sole Judge of the fitness of persons to serve him, hath adjudg''d him fit? |
A26142 | Will the House of Peers allow of this Authority for Law? |
A26142 | and may he therefore upon the like reason, dispense with them, or dispose of them, as a Subject may do with his own particular Interests? |
A26142 | and plead the Conviction? |
A26142 | and to whom would the Non obstante be denied to whom such a Patent is granted? |
A26142 | and who would accept such a Patent without a Non obstante? |
A26142 | is it not rather preserv''d by it? |
A26142 | or are they to him but as a Trustee for the Publick, for which reason he is called Creditor Poenae? |
A26142 | or that they themselves would dispence with it? |
A26142 | ubi jura, quae scriptis solebant solidari? |
A26142 | were there no Judges that did scruple the doing of it? |
A26142 | why would the two Houses, after long debate about it, excuse themselves from consenting to that which the King could do without them? |
A26983 | After all this shall wée again forsake thée, and deal falsly in thy Covenant? |
A26983 | And hast thou indéed forgiven us so great a debt, by so precious a Ransome? |
A26983 | And if you may mistake in any thing, may it not be in as great things as these? |
A26983 | And shall wée not love thée, that hast thus loved us? |
A26983 | And wee crave leave to ask whether you do not your selves in some things mistake, or may not do so for ought you know? |
A26983 | Can your heart endure, or your hands bee strong in the day when God shall deal with you? |
A26983 | Do you beleeve in God the Father Almighty,& c? |
A26983 | Do you remain stedfast in the Covenant, which you made in Baptism your self? |
A26983 | For if when wee were Enemies wee were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being Reconciled, wee shall bee saved by his life? |
A26983 | He forgiveth our Iniquities, and will remember our sins no more; who shall lay any thing to Charge of Gods elect? |
A26983 | Hee that spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us All, how shall hee not with him also freely give us all things? |
A26983 | How glad would you make the peoples hearts? |
A26983 | How good and how happy a thing would it bee for Brethren to dwell together in unity? |
A26983 | If any man bee in Christ, hee is a new Creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new? |
A26983 | If men cut off the lives of those that break their laws, will God bee out- faced by the pride, and stubborness of sinners? |
A26983 | If you say, Rulers imposition maketh indifferent things cease to be indifferent? |
A26983 | If you will needs use such things your selves, will it gain you so much to force them upon others, as will answer all the foresaid Inconveniences? |
A26983 | Is it not for matter and phrase at least as agreeable to the holy Scriptures? |
A26983 | It is God that Justifieth, who is hee that Condemneth? |
A26983 | O how should wee bee covered with shame, and loath our selves, that have both procured the death of Christ by sin, and sinned against it? |
A26983 | O save him from the Gall of Bitterness, and from the Bonds of his Iniquity? |
A26983 | Or will you not mourn at last( with weeping and gnashing of teeth) And say; How have I hated Instruction, and my heart despised Reproof? |
A26983 | Shall wée not love thy Servants, and forgive our Neighbours their little debt? |
A26983 | Will it cost you as dear to grant this Liberty, or abate these things, as the Imposition will cost your Brethren and you? |
A26983 | Will you defend it as your friend? |
A26983 | Will you endeavour by your own Teaching, and Example, and Restraint, to keep him from wickedness, and train him up in a holy life? |
A26983 | Will you then deny it, or will you stand to all the reasonings, or excuses, by which you would now extenuate or cover it? |
A26983 | Wilt thou indéed give us to reign with Christ in Glory, and sée thy face, and love thée, and bée beloved of thée for ever? |
A26983 | and doth this shew that you love your neighbours as your selves? |
A26983 | and that so many have been put upon so new and so generally dis- relished a thing? |
A26983 | and whether your understandings are not still imperfect, and all men differ not in some opinions or other? |
A26983 | can it be expected, that wee should all be past erring about the smallest Ceremonies and Circumstances of worship? |
A26983 | for your souls sake, let not Satan abuse your understanding, and sin befool you, must you not die? |
A26983 | will sin goe then with you for as light a matter as it doth now? |
A34543 | And was this Capacity any where restrained to the Presbyterians? |
A34543 | Are they jealous that the Structure of their Government may be weakned, and at length dissolved? |
A34543 | As for the objected unprofitableness of their returning, how doth it appear? |
A34543 | Because All Truths have been disputed, doth it follow, that there are no indisputable Truths? |
A34543 | But hath the French King less assurance of the Loyalty of His Protestant Subjects, then of the Roman- Catholicks? |
A34543 | But is this person consistent with himself? |
A34543 | But who best knows their hearts, themselves or their Adversaries? |
A34543 | But why doth he say, If the Papists have any such Doctrines? |
A34543 | Can it be necessary to the Church''s Peace, to exclude or deprive men for such Differences in which neither Faith nor Order are concerned? |
A34543 | Can men of sound minds and temperate spirits, believe this? |
A34543 | Did Prelacy ever effect the like Unity in the Church of England? |
A34543 | Doth he not know they have? |
A34543 | Had Presbytery the Strength of the Civil Power? |
A34543 | How then could a man of reason draw such hideous Inferences from that Position? |
A34543 | If Episcopacy yeeld to a Moderate Course, why should any prudent Dissenters go about to molest it? |
A34543 | If some offer to disturb the Peace, can no Rule of Government restrain them? |
A34543 | If these and other Varieties, be no reproach to our Church, will it reproach her to suffer one to Officiate with a Surpliss, and another without it? |
A34543 | Is a Can not for Conscience sake, of no more force than a bare Will not? |
A34543 | Is there any Justice or Charity in such dealing? |
A34543 | May not the Church salve her Honour, by declaring, That in remitting these Injunctions, she meerly yeelds to the infirmity of weak Consciences? |
A34543 | One may well ask, Where is the Truth and Candor of those men that write after this manner? |
A34543 | Or is Toleration the reason of a standing Army in the United Provinces of the Netherlands? |
A34543 | Or was it ever formed in England? |
A34543 | That such Condescention and Clemency should be used on the One side, and such Humility and Modesty on the Other, why should it seem impossible? |
A34543 | Was it not crush''d while it was an Embryo, by the prevailing Potency of its Adversaries? |
A34543 | What hinders their Capacity of gaining Benefices, yea and Dignities, if they could Conform? |
A34543 | What human Authority can warrant any one to put in practice an unlawful or suspected Action, or to make profession of a known or suspected Falshood? |
A34543 | What manner of arguing is this? |
A34543 | Why should they not find as good acceptation as others, in their Preaching and Conversation? |
A34543 | Yea, how great a Rent would be made by it through the whole Fabrick of this Church? |
A52414 | And how then are the Church and the Dissenters upon Equal Terms? |
A52414 | And how then can the Sanction be necessary as a Sign, where the Law is not promulgated? |
A52414 | And if this be thought sufficient to Authorize the Sanction, why should it not also Authorize the Law? |
A52414 | And is it reasonable that there should be a Toleration, and we not the better for it? |
A52414 | And to what purpose then do they insist upon the Greatness of the Authority? |
A52414 | And what should that be but the Authority of the Law- giver? |
A52414 | And what then will become of the Toleration? |
A52414 | And will any Man, can any Man have the Impudence or Impiety to say so? |
A52414 | But how come they to oblige to Punishment, but only by the Will and Intention of the Law- giver invested with competent Authority? |
A52414 | But may not the Sanction be necessary as a Sign, where the Law is not promulgated? |
A52414 | But though the Author''s Charge was neither False, nor Uncharitable, yet was it not something Unseasonable? |
A52414 | But though the Sanction does not give the Law its Obligation, or any part of it, may it not however be necessary to it? |
A52414 | But what then? |
A52414 | But why, I pray, was this Charge so unseasonable? |
A52414 | But would it therefore have been to any higher Purpose or greater Effect? |
A52414 | But, Sir, in the First place, how can that be, when One is Establish''d, and the Other only Tolerated? |
A52414 | Charge us with Schism at this time of day, Now we are in Favour, Now the Government smiles upon us, Now we have the Law on our Side? |
A52414 | Did he ever Communicate his Intentions to them? |
A52414 | For how can they pretend to know the Author''s Thoughts and Designs? |
A52414 | If it be further askt, whence has the Law- giver his Authority? |
A52414 | If it be then demanded, Whence does the Law receive its Obligation? |
A52414 | If you ask what that is? |
A52414 | Is it like the Tree of Paradice, good for Food, and pleasant to the Eye, and withall planted within our reach, and yet not to be medled with? |
A52414 | Is not Establishment more than Liberty? |
A52414 | Is this by vertue of any other Sanction? |
A52414 | It is a Common Question among Moralists, Civilians, and Casuistical Divines, Vtrum Sanctio Paenalis sit de Essentia sive de Ratione Legis? |
A52414 | Now the Question is, Whether the Sanction of the Law be in this sense necessary to the Obligation of it? |
A52414 | Now what can all this signifie? |
A52414 | Or so ungrateful to the Government, as not to make use of that Privilege of Indulgence which the kindness of our Superiors has vouchsafed us? |
A52414 | Or what can be supposed to be the just and reasonable intent of it? |
A52414 | Or will they Judge by Inspiration, and pretend to the Gift of Divining and Conjecturing, as well as of Praying by the Spirit? |
A52414 | Shall we be so unkind to our selves, as not to embrace an opportunity of Ease and Liberty? |
A52414 | Then turning towards Methodius, What is this? |
A52414 | This has been generally thought the most proper Season of Admonition by all wise Men in all other Matters, and why not in this? |
A52414 | This was as much contrary to Expectation, as to Inclination and Humour; and was it not enough to vex any body to be so disappointed? |
A52414 | What then, you''ll say, is the Effect of a Toleration? |
A52414 | What would you have us do? |
A52414 | What, was the Toleration granted, not to be enjoyed? |
A52414 | What? |
A52414 | Whether a Penal Sanction be of the Essence or Reason of the Law? |
A52414 | Whether you can honestly and safely Communicate with us or no? |
A52414 | Why may I not go, if occasion require, to an Arian Church, so there be no Arianism exprest in their Liturgy? |
A52414 | Will any Man presume to say that Adam would not have been obliged by that Divine Command, but might have tasted of the forbidden Fruit without Sin? |
A52414 | Will he say, that this Precept stood as a Cypher in the Decalogue, without passing any Obligation upon the Jews? |
A26412 | 2, 10, 23. in those Plagues of Locusts, and Darkness? |
A26412 | 3, 17, 24. in those Plagues of Murrion and Hail? |
A26412 | 4, 22. and in the Death of all their first- born, both of Man and Beast? |
A26412 | And Abimelech said, Lord, wilt thou stay also a Righteous Nation? |
A26412 | And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? |
A26412 | And Samuel said to Saul, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the Head of the Tribes of Israel? |
A26412 | And is not that rejoycing such, that may justly cause God to Command it to run thorow thy Borders a second time? |
A26412 | And may not the Lord take up a Complaint against thee and thy Daughters, O England, as once he did against his People of old? |
A26412 | And what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? |
A26412 | And what''s the Cause of all this, may some say? |
A26412 | And, Reader, consider with thy self, that if the Lord Christ reproved him that said to him, good Master; saying, Why callest thou me good? |
A26412 | Art thou grown more Holy than thou wast? |
A26412 | Art thou humble before thy God, O England, out of a Consideration of thine own unworthiness, and of Gods great love to thee in these things? |
A26412 | Art thou rejoycing, that the Sword in all visible probability is now sheathing again? |
A26412 | Art thou rendring to God, for bringing this great Design about without shedding of blood? |
A26412 | But here it may be asked, How I prove this to be done by the perswasion of that Evil One, seeing the Text doth not in so many words say so? |
A26412 | But here it may be demanded, when a person may be said to walk humbly with God? |
A26412 | But here it may be farther demanded, What was Israels sin? |
A26412 | But though they say thus; What saith the Prophet? |
A26412 | Dost thou rejoyce before the Lord with trembling? |
A26412 | Even I it is that have sinned and done evil ▪ But as for these sheep, what have they done? |
A26412 | Even so do I say to my self; Why should I dare to call the greatest of Men, most Sacred? |
A26412 | For David said unto God, Is it not I that Commanded the People to be numbred? |
A26412 | For Pharaoh called Abraham, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? |
A26412 | For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and loose his own Soul? |
A26412 | Is it so dangerous a thing then to tell over, or number the People, may some say? |
A26412 | King Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets? |
A26412 | Or rather, art thou not grow openly prophane, out of a sense of Gods Great Love to thee? |
A26412 | Or rather, art thou not grown more haughty? |
A26412 | Or rather, is not thy Behaviour such, as suddenly may cause God to open another vein to the Effusion of thy Bloud, even to the Confusion of thy face? |
A26412 | Or rather, is not thy rejoycing such, as that it would and doth, even make a truly Regenerate Soul tremble to behold it? |
A26412 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A26412 | Said he not, she is my Sister? |
A26412 | Saul, Saul, Why persecutest thou me? |
A26412 | Was the numbring of the People then the only Cause, that moved God to slay with the Plague threescore and ten thousand? |
A26412 | What did they endure by reason of the Plagues of Froggs, Lice and Flies? |
A26412 | What shall I render to the Lord, for all his Benefits bestowed upon me? |
A26412 | What then was Davids sin, may some say? |
A26412 | Whether it be right in the sight of God, to hearken unto thee, more than unto my God? |
A26412 | Why didst thou not tell me she was thy Wife? |
A26412 | Why saidst thou she is my Sister? |
A26412 | Why should ye be smitten any more? |
A26412 | Will Daniel Petition no other but the true God, though against the Decree of the King? |
A26412 | seeing 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what had Israel done? |
A26412 | who wilt thou feed? |
A26412 | who wilt thou light? |
A85699 | 1. where our Saviour taught his Disciples a Form of Praier: M. Powell replied, Our Saviour wrought miracles, will you work miracles? |
A85699 | And Ignorance of the grounds of Art: Shall I give you a reason why a negative Syllogisme concludeth nothing? |
A85699 | And can ye be stall in love with your new Logick? |
A85699 | And thereupon he proposed another Question, Do you undertake to defend the corrupt part of the Ministry? |
A85699 | But M. Powell asked the Doctor, By what Scripture he could prove a Form of Praier? |
A85699 | But M. Powell still pressed, Whether are you? |
A85699 | For what else is Logick, but a method, form and rule of reasoning orderly for the perfecting of a mans natural discourse? |
A85699 | How? |
A85699 | Is Logick no help to the interpreting, and applying of Scripture? |
A85699 | Is it not enough for you to bely the living, and abandon reason, but ye must abuse the Arts and defame the dead? |
A85699 | Is not this fine work for an Atheist, an Arrian, or Macedonian heretick? |
A85699 | M. Powell asked, Where be your Saints? |
A85699 | M. Powell there upon asked him, How is the Image of Christ wrought in the soul? |
A85699 | No, what say you to the Dr. and his people? |
A85699 | Or what say you to another? |
A85699 | The Gentleman again asked, What, no Adulterers? |
A85699 | The same way of captious arguing ye see still asking Questions; where are they? |
A85699 | The third proved to be no Rule, but a tempting Question: In what capacity do you stand there, as an Episcopall man or a Presbyterian? |
A85699 | To whom was it that he promised a Sermon, Can you tell? |
A85699 | We did not stand upon Logick, but by the Truth; what is to sway us but Scriptures? |
A85699 | Went on and proved? |
A85699 | What is to sway us but Scripture? |
A85699 | What then? |
A85699 | What? |
A85699 | Whereunto M. Powell very wisely replied, Will you be Judas then? |
A85699 | Whether your Calling or Ours be most Warrantable, and nearest the Word of God? |
A85699 | Whether your mixt Wayes or our Wayes of Separation, be nearest the Word of God? |
A85699 | are they not godly? |
A85699 | by some new change of the Scene? |
A85699 | do you swear? |
A85699 | is not to be taken to be in Capacity to dispute? |
A85699 | or was there nothing here intended against them? |
A85699 | was he not Respondent from the beginning? |
A54198 | And why the King might not then Govern by a Court Rump of a Parliament, as well as they by an Independent Rump? |
A54198 | As for example: How Barbarously were Sir Jorn Lucas and Mr. Newcomen, a Minister used by the Brownists, and Anabaptists of Colchester,? |
A54198 | How Barbarously were Mr: Robert Yeomans, and Mr. George Boucher, Gentlemen of Bristol murthered? |
A54198 | In Fine, what has he left undone that might tend to promote further Discovery, to extirpate Popery, and to secure the Protestant Religion? |
A54198 | Is not the winding up the Witness, And nicking, more than half the business? |
A54198 | Nay what security had any man of his own Life, Family and Estate without being in danger of Hanging, Plundering, Sequestring and the like? |
A54198 | Sir John''s House Plundered, his Mother, Lady, and Sister Committed to the Common Goal? |

A54198 | equally to violate his Faith with all his Friends, and Enemies? |
A54198 | how did they Plunder him of all he had, and at last put him to flight, leaving behind him, his Wife and eight small Children to perish? |
A54198 | or what Shop- keeper of his Prentice? |
A54198 | or( not being a Rebel to the King,) was not accounted a Betrayer of his Countrey? |
A54198 | to fight against Monarchy, when he declared for it; and declare against it when he contrived for it, in his own Person? |
A54198 | to fight against the King, under a Commission for him? |
A54198 | to make no less frequent use of the most solemn Perjuries, then the looser sort of people do of common Oaths? |
A54198 | to pretend freedom for all men, and under the help of that pretence, to make all men his Servants? |
A54198 | to pretend the defence of Parliaments, and violently to dissolve all, even of his own Calling, and almost Choosing? |
A54198 | to pretend, when he went upon any mischievous Consult, that he went to Seek God? |

A54198 | to set up Councils of Rapine, and Courts of Murther? |
A54198 | to take Arms against scarce 200000 l. a year, and to raise for himself above two Millions? |
A54198 | to undertake the Reformation of Religion, to rob it even to the very Skin, and then to expose it naked, to the Rage of all Sects and Heresies? |
A54198 | to usurp three Kingdoms without any shadow of the least Pretensions, and to govern them as unjustly as he got them? |
A54198 | when the Parliaments Army was ready to receive, and reward them for their Disloyalty? |
A54198 | who could follow his Lawful vocation, or what Trades- man his Trade, without the hazzard of an assault? |
A54198 | who( not being a Sectary) was not then esteemed a Papist? |
A64560 | ( Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? |
A64560 | ( Whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal?) |
A64560 | A mixt Communion may do no hurt, what is it to me, what others are? |
A64560 | After this Objection you Question( But how came in the Tares?) |
A64560 | And what were the people? |
A64560 | Are not Contentions, Divisions, carnal brands? |
A64560 | Are there not recorded Churches of Judea, Samaria, Galilee? |
A64560 | But you admit them not the Title of Saints( let me inoffensively ask for my own satisfaction) if they be real Saints, why not Titular? |
A64560 | Do not your self vindicate an Authority of Excommunication at Corinth, when this Epistle was written? |
A64560 | For shall we be holier, and hate corruption more than the Lord? |
A64560 | How edifying is the noise of Drums and Guns? |
A64560 | If one bear holy Flesh in the Skirt of his Garment, and with his Skirt do touch Bread or Pottage, or Wine, or Oyl, or any meat, shall it be holy? |
A64560 | If the Church err in Doctrine, it is to be considered whether the error be in a point substantial, fundamental or not? |
A64560 | If you aver a Communion with the Saints as Fellow Members, I desire to be resolved, who those Saints are? |
A64560 | If your Rule for admission be rigorously pressed, how can men of different judgements, and repugnant spirits be admitted into separated Churches? |
A64560 | In other passages, in other parables, recited in this Chapter the Kingdom of Heaven is the Church, why not in this? |
A64560 | Is there not a gradual ascent from a Church Oeconomical, to a Church Oecumenical? |
A64560 | It was the speech of Cain, Am I my brothers keeper? |
A64560 | Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? |
A64560 | Lord to whom shall we go, thou hast the Word of eternal life? |
A64560 | Quid hoc ad Rhombum? |
A64560 | Quomodo sancti dicantur, cum certum sit apud eos multos rudes in fide, imo palam impios fuisse? |
A64560 | The Corinthians were voluntarily charitable( no extorted bounty) when they were converted, what is this to the means how they were converted? |
A64560 | Then said Haggai, if one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? |
A64560 | To ascend higher, are the Apostles the Saints you own a Communion with? |
A64560 | Visible Saints must be, but how far Saints must be discovered? |
A64560 | Were not the Sons of Eli practically vitious, scandalous Sons of Belial? |
A64560 | Were they reall Converts or Professional? |
A64560 | What are Cities, Kingdoms, States, but Families dilated, multiplied? |
A64560 | What can the next lees be? |
A64560 | Whether if there be Errors in the Church, we may separate our selves? |
A64560 | Why then should the Church of England sound so prodigious a name? |
A64560 | Will you deny the balm of Gilead to these bleeding wounds of Souls? |
A64560 | if in a point substantial, fundamental, whether upon infirmity, or obstinacy? |
A64560 | shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? |
A64560 | — Tantae ne animis caelestibus irae? |
A45675 | 3, Why do you transgress the Commandments of God by your Traditions? |
A45675 | And therefore what need he put me to prove it? |
A45675 | Are they destructive of true Christian Faith and Practice? |
A45675 | But I would have you speak out: Is Communion with us sinful, or is it not? |
A45675 | But allowing that those you insist upon be Errors; Are they fundamental ones? |
A45675 | But did I, or ever any Man else say that it was Schism to obey God rather than Man? |
A45675 | But if We must Answer to that Question, Who hath Required these things at your Hands? |
A45675 | But let me a ● k him, Does the Scripture any where say so? |
A45675 | But then let me ask again, Have you met with any of your own Teachers, that are able to give a sufficient Answer to their Arguments? |
A45675 | But what if this be taken from the Garments of Aaron, as he knows not whether it is or no? |
A45675 | But who can have the Forehead to fasten such high Presumptions as these upon our Church? |
A45675 | But, what if it be true, is therefore Episcopacy unlawful, or the Succession of our Bishops not good? |
A45675 | Have you a desire to hold Communion with us, if you could perswade your selves that you might lawfully do it? |
A45675 | Have you proposed your Scruples to the Divines of our Church? |
A45675 | If he mean Personal Qualifications, I will only say with St. Paul, Who is sufficient for these things? |
A45675 | If it be not, how come you to impose it upon us for such, or charge that upon us for a sin, which is not the transgression of any Law? |
A45675 | If we be the Body of Christ, do not they that separate from the Body separate from the Head also? |
A45675 | Now what is the Consequence of all this? |
A45675 | Or could any Man think it possible, that he should so luckily hit upon such a Text of Scripture to prove it by? |
A45675 | Or deduce it by some Logical and Natural Inference? |
A45675 | Or does the Apostle any where call this Will- worship? |
A45675 | Or would this be any thing to the Merits of the Cause? |
A45675 | Or, What just Ground of Exception was That against the Matter of it? |
A45675 | Then those that use it, do thereby deny Christ to be come in the Flesh; but for what Reason does he say this? |
A45675 | Was there ever such a wild Assertion? |
A45675 | What if I should say, some Authors tell us, it was derived from Christ and his Apostles; how would he disprove me, or prove that it was not? |
A45675 | What then can this Man be thought to mean? |
A45675 | What was this accursed thing which he stole? |
A45675 | What will ye then say for your selves, when God shall say unto you, Who hath required these things at your Hands? |
A45675 | Why does he not quote Chapter and Verse? |
A45675 | Would he insinuate, that these Additions are Inventions of our own, or that they are inserted by the Church, upon some wicked selfish design? |
A45675 | and how then can he charge us with Additions to the Word of God? |
A45675 | or, Have you read what they have written in order to your satisfaction? |
A45675 | was it therefore an Idol, and an accursed thing, and therefore to be burned? |
A65836 | 11. may not be covered with a Hat off, and uncovered with a Hat on? |
A65836 | 2dly, Is it so dangerous, that this Church( or universal Body of Christ) can not err? |
A65836 | 2ly, Who those of the Pople called Quakers that have assumed to impose, contratry to their former Testimonies, as he saith? |
A65836 | And that we have it to guide and give discovery in the weighty matters of Faith and Salvation, and to try Spirits, whether they be of God or no? |
A65836 | And what are those peculiar Revelations or Motions? |
A65836 | Doth not the spiritual Man judge all Things? |
A65836 | Have not some kneeled, sat, and stood in publick ▪& c. Whether a Cap is not as real a Covering to the Head as a Hat? |
A65836 | How now William, Is this thy tender Conscience, Moderation, Love and Charity professed towards the People of God called Quakers? |
A65836 | How should he know his Requiring, for that which he is prejudicially engaged against? |
A65836 | If it must needs be accounted dangerous to assert this? |
A65836 | Is it a limitting the Lord for the Body or Church of Christ to have his Spirit which is infallible? |
A65836 | Oh Treacherous Apostate, Judas the Lord Rebuke thee] But what are those Romish positions? |
A65836 | Oh how sadly hath this Opposer violated his own Conscience, perverted the right Wayes of God, and abused the pretious Testimony of Truth? |
A65836 | Oh what confused Work doth this man make? |
A65836 | Or did we ever place it upon human Understanding, as meer Men, but upon that divine Understanding that God giveth? |
A65836 | Or is the whole Church or Body which he confesseth Christ to be the Head of, in such an Exaltation over the lowly ones? |
A65836 | Or to upbraid any with what is past, that have repented, received Mercy and Forgiveness from the Lord? |
A65836 | What gross Darkness is come over this Man? |
A65836 | Would he be so dealt by? |
A65836 | and an unerring Judgment so far as we received from the same Spirit? |
A65836 | or J. Pennyman with his Motion to have the Bible and Testimonies of Martyrs, with other good Books to the Exchange in order to burn? |
A65836 | when demonstrated? |
A65836 | who then are those lowly Ones that are not of the Church? |
A29790 | A Son of Slaughter at White- Chappel converted to the observation of Fish- days; or an old inveterate Republican turn''d a stiff Assertor of Monarchy? |
A29790 | A right Country Gentleman''s Question I''faith, for the first thing he generally asks you is, What is the News? |
A29790 | And does a Coach and six Horses baffle Heroes, spoil Divines, and make Milksops of Princes? |
A29790 | And is all your mighty News, which you prefaced with so much show and Ceremonie, come to this sorry issue at last? |
A29790 | And what does Interest, meer Interest only do all this? |
A29790 | Any Court- 〈 … 〉 ● ● nen, and no back- biting; any litigious Attorney to 〈 ◊ 〉 And Arbitrations? |
A29790 | Any of the Town Criticks to Modesty? |
A29790 | Any thrice married Widow to impotence? |
A29790 | As the Country Ladies when they come up to Town, enquire in the first place, Which is the newest Play or Lampoon? |
A29790 | But are they all so inveterate? |
A29790 | But may a Man be so happy as to hear you produce any Reasons for what you have said? |
A29790 | But prithee wou''d not you have a man be careful to preserve his Character and Reputation in the World, and study to give as little scandal as may be? |
A29790 | Come tell me now, have I hitupon the true reason or no? |
A29790 | Come then, wert thou ever married, my honest friend? |
A29790 | Conscience do you say? |
A29790 | Crys the Master of the Porcupine, You Rascal, what do you intend by asking me what Sawce I''de have for him? |
A29790 | Dear Sir, your Humble Servant; how have you done this many a fair day, and how long have you been in Town? |
A29790 | Dost thou now comprehend my Meaning? |
A29790 | Got his Reasons ready do you say? |
A29790 | I wou''d desire to know how you make that out, Noble Sir? |
A29790 | Is a 〈 … 〉 ● arlon turn''d a friend to Cleanliness? |
A29790 | Is any noted S ● ● ● ● ian turn''d a Friend to Faith? |
A29790 | Is there then no difference between tolerating and establishing? |
A29790 | Nay the Lord knows, which is Mr. Bay''s Primitive Church; but prithee why dost thou trouble thy head about a Poet''s Religion? |
A29790 | Not married say you? |
A29790 | Of a few Conjugal Sollicitations do you say? |
A29790 | Or any of the Modern Comprehension- men converted to a good Opinion of the poor suffering Ceremonies of the Church? |
A29790 | Or any of the good people of Doctors- Commons to unlicenc ● d Marriges? |
A29790 | Or have any of the topping Sons of Schism by the Bribe of a good Deanry or Bishoprick been converted to the Liturgy? |
A29790 | Or lastly, any Alderman that was begotten on a Bulk, to Heraldry and Pedigrees? |
A29790 | Prithee what story is that, for, to the best of my knowledg, I never heard of it before? |
A29790 | Say you so Tim? |
A29790 | Say you so sir? |
A29790 | Sons of Schism? |
A29790 | The Question is, whether what the Dr. has formerly preached or written, is the true Doctrin of the Church of England or no? |
A29790 | They preserve the Protestant Religion? |
A29790 | To conclude then: Is the Vicar near Charing- Cross convinced there''s not so much Bawdry in the Service of Matrimony as without it? |
A29790 | To proceed then, is the Dr. brought to a better Opinion of the Abdication, or does he go altogether upon the merits of Forefaulture? |
A29790 | VVHo''s that, my old Friend Mr. Freeman, e Comitatu Bucks? |
A29790 | Well then, Granting all you have said to be true, what advantage do you intend to make of it? |
A29790 | Well, and what of all this? |
A29790 | What think you of this now? |
A29790 | What, not one single man amongst the whole Herd, that congratulates the Government for the great Happiness of his Reduction? |
A29790 | When the Fellow was got into his Room at the Inn, he knocks for the Landlord, and asks him whether he had got his Porcupine ready? |
A29790 | Where, or how? |
A29790 | Which is the Topping Mistress of the Court, or the most fashionable Suit of Ribbons at the Exchange? |
A29790 | Who could ever expect that? |
A29790 | Why, prithee Tim, what dost thou take me for, a Prophet, or a Conjurer? |
A29790 | Why, what a Devil did he mean by that question? |
A29790 | or in what Reign, that we may see it registred in our Almanacks? |
A29790 | what a deal of insignificant flourish and preparation is here to usher in, it may be, but a foolish story at last? |
A41450 | 18. to be said unto Princes, Ye are ungodly, or to Rulers, Ye are wicked? |
A41450 | 22. means, Hast thou faith? |
A41450 | 3. especially v. 19. where he puts this question, Wherefore then served the Law? |
A41450 | And whether some special Time of Abstinence and Mortification in conformity to the Primitive Church, may now be retained or not? |
A41450 | Are these Instances only to trace out an example of condescension in Magistrates and Governours to their Inferiours? |
A41450 | Especially who is there that is willing either to do good to, or to receive good from him, against whom he hath an exulcerate mind? |
A41450 | For who can maturely weigh things when all is in hurry and tumult? |
A41450 | For why may not they have a reason for their actions which either we can not reach, or are not come to the knowledge of? |
A41450 | How comes it to pass that all Controversies are not determined and Disputes ended long ago, if this were true that is pretended? |
A41450 | How general an acquiescence of hearts and minds in it? |
A41450 | I say how comes this distance and apprehension of sin and danger reciprocally, if the differences between them be inconsiderable? |
A41450 | If then there must be some determination of Circumstance or no Society, and God hath made no such determination, what remains, but that men must? |
A41450 | Is it that God is more curious and jealous of every punctilio in his Worship now, than he was heretofore? |
A41450 | Is it tolerable to repute our Governours Dolts and Ideots? |
A41450 | Must a novel Dutch Synod prescribe Doctrine to the Church of England, and outweigh all Antiquity? |
A41450 | Now since Magistrates had once such a power, how came they to lose it, or be divested of it? |
A41450 | What devotion to the publick worship? |
A41450 | What shall we say to all this? |
A41450 | What shall we take to be the reason of this general Defection? |
A41450 | Whence comes it to pass, that the Bigots of the Romish Church have more spite against our Church, than against any Sect or Party whatsoever? |
A41450 | Who can discern exactly the difference of things, when all is in motion? |
A41450 | Would it not mightily move Kings and Princes to become nursing Fathers to the Church to hear this Doctrine preached to them? |
A41450 | to suspect they have no sense of their duty, or to reproach their Sanctions as Tyrannical, Superstitious or Antichristian? |
A41450 | what reverence was then yielded to the Ministers of Religion? |
A86190 | All the united power of the Church is little enough against their common enemies, and shall they weaken themselves? |
A86190 | And elswhere, Qui Adoramus unum Patrem; cur non agnoscimus unam Matrem? |
A86190 | And shall we now live so unlike our future life? |
A86190 | Are ye not carnal? |
A86190 | But why here stiled the God of Patience, before the God of Consolation? |
A86190 | Cain was the first Separatist we read of; and what became of him? |
A86190 | Can it be a Spirit of Truth in one, and a Spirit of Falshood in others? |
A86190 | Can the Dead be united to the Living? |
A86190 | Can the Spirit of God be contrary to it self? |
A86190 | Christ, and Belial? |
A86190 | Did you ever hear more importunity, or earnestness, in any Cause? |
A86190 | Do they not come from the lusts, that war in you Members? |
A86190 | For can you imagine to bring the Weak to yield to the Strong, or the Strong to forbear the Weak, by Reasons, or Arguments? |
A86190 | For how can the Members be united, but in the Head? |
A86190 | I say whereto serves all this; but to give scandal to the Enemies of our Church, and Religion? |
A86190 | I. Whence come( those{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}) Wars, and Fightings? |
A86190 | Is this to have one heart, and one way? |
A86190 | It''s a great Frowardness in the Rigid Lutherans, that they will not own the Calvinists, as Brethren? |
A86190 | Lord, what will become of us, if we continue thus? |
A86190 | Shall others affect a few Nisities, and quirks in Religion, and shall we be weary of the plain and Practical Truths of God''s Word? |
A86190 | Shall others hold a few empty notions fast; and shall we let go the Substantial Truths of the Gospel? |
A86190 | Shall others hold errours fast, and shall not we the Truth? |
A86190 | Shall we be contentious, and fall out by the way, are we not Brethren? |
A86190 | Shall we now be so unlike to what we must be for ever? |
A86190 | Shall we strive to hold Money fast, and let loose our Religion? |
A86190 | So I may say to some Troublers of our Churche''s Peace; Why trouble ye the Church, and hinder Unity? |
A86190 | We should be thinking with our selves; Shall we not shortly be of one mind, and one heart? |
A86190 | Well, what''s the matter? |
A86190 | What concord between Light, and Darkness? |
A86190 | What confirms the Papists, and Hereticks, and Prophane persons in Errours, and Wickedness? |
A86190 | Whereas one saies, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollo: are ye not carnal? |
A86190 | Whereas there is amongst you Envyings, and Strifes, and Divisions, are ye not Carnal, and walk as men? |
A86190 | Who then is Paul, or Apollo, or Peter; but Ministers, by whom ye believed? |
A86190 | Why hast thou Troubled Vs? |
A86190 | and all be perfected with the blessed vision, and reconciling light of the face of God? |
A86190 | in these Times of differences, and breaches amongst us; what should we run unto? |
A86190 | is this to be alike- minded one towards another according to Christ? |
A86190 | nothing more, then the differences, and strange Opinions, that are amongst us? |
A86190 | or the Scholars, but in the Teacher? |
A86190 | or the Subjects, but in their Sovereign? |
A42786 | And is Mr. Owen certain we shall not have more Divine Revelations before the end of the World? |
A42786 | And what has the Minister reply''d unto all this? |
A42786 | And what says the Remarker to all this? |
A42786 | And who must be Judge of this but the People? |
A42786 | And why so, sweet Sir? |
A42786 | At least, why not the Name of the Printer? |
A42786 | Besides, how can any one know another Man''s Humility of Spirit? |
A42786 | But how comes this wise Seer to look so far before him, as to assure us of this good issue? |
A42786 | But how does this follow? |
A42786 | But if they had been in the Hebrew, can any one think Trypho so dull as not to have told Justin as much? |
A42786 | But the great Question is, who is this Note- maker, who from behind the Curtain like the Heathen Priests delivers his Oracles? |
A42786 | But what if the Pastors of Neighb''ring Congregations differ in Judgment from the People of that particular Church? |
A42786 | But what will not some Men if it may any ways contribute to the credit of the Cause, and buoy up the reputation of the Heads of the Party? |
A42786 | But why should the Note maker be so startled at my Proposal? |
A42786 | Cùm tua pervide ● … oculis mala lippus inunctis, Cur in amicorum vitiis tam cernis acutum? |
A42786 | Did the Apostles appoint, after the People had before appointed''em unto that Business? |
A42786 | For I ask Mr. Owen, why he believes the Scripture to be Divinely inspir''d, but because''t is transmitted unto us as such by Universal Tradition? |
A42786 | For why should any one presume to scruple or call that unclean, which the Lord has not made so? |
A42786 | Has he read all their Writings? |
A42786 | He boasts of his many Hundred Quotations: And had he no need, or did he intend to make no use of them to what purpose then did he cite''em? |
A42786 | How could he, when there was such a disagreement between the Jews and Christians about''em? |
A42786 | I ask then, is this Title Divinely inspir''d? |
A42786 | I might with as good Reason ask him, why do the Dissenters neglect the Reading of the Word of God to make way for their own Sermons and Expositions? |
A42786 | I only ask why do they not Ordain their Overseers of the Poor as the Apostles did by their own confession? |
A42786 | If an unknown Person at Manchester has writ a tart Book against the Episcopal Party? |
A42786 | If he has, why did he not own his Libel by affixing his Name to it? |
A42786 | In retort then, I''le only present him with a Passage out of Horace: Heus tu? |
A42786 | Is it because''t is no Fault to corrupt the Seventy? |
A42786 | Is this consistent with the Forgery of the foremention''d Certificate? |
A42786 | It will perhaps be ask''d, what''s this to the Minister at Oswestry? |
A42786 | Janoras re? |
A42786 | Nunquamne reponam, Vexatus toties Rauoi Theseide Cod ● i? |
A42786 | Or because the Places were intire in the Original Hebrew Text? |
A42786 | Or can they hope to lull us asleep into Patience and Stoical Apathy, that they may with the greater ease and security torment and oppress us? |
A42786 | Or rather is it not to be suspected, that they have two Consciences? |
A42786 | Or what if all this be an effect of the want of Self- sufficiency and too great distrust of my self? |
A42786 | Or what, if one should guess the Remarks to be the Work of a Club of Ministers, of which he at Manchester was President pro tempore? |
A42786 | Semper ego Auditor tantum? |
A42786 | Shall they prescribe unto us Charity towards them, whilst they are unmercifully teasing and exposing us? |
A42786 | Tell me( says he) is it lawful to Impose indifferent things? |

A91790 | 12 Whether the Saints weapons against errors, be carnall or no? |
A91790 | 13 Whether it was not Christs command, that his Disciples when they were persecuted, they should pray; and if cursed, blesse? |
A91790 | 15 Whether Christ hath said, He will have an unwilling people compelled to serve him? |
A91790 | 16 Whether ever God did plant his Church by violence and blood- shed? |
A91790 | 17? |
A91790 | 19 Whether he that is not conformable to Christ, may not at the same time bee a good subject to the State, and as profitable to it as any? |
A91790 | 2 Whether carnall punishments can produce any more then a carnall repentance and obedience? |
A91790 | 23 Whether men heretofore have not in zeale for religion, persecuted the Son of God, in stead of the son of perdition? |
A91790 | 24 Whether it is not a burden great enough for the Magistrate to govern and judge in civill causes, to preserve the subjects rights, peace and safety? |
A91790 | 26 Whether hee is fit to appoint punishments, that is not fit to judge? |
A91790 | 30 Whether the Magistrate be not wronged, to give him the Title of Civill Magistrate onely, if his power be spirituall? |
A91790 | 31 Whether lawes made meerly concerning spirituall things, be not spirituall also? |
A91790 | 32 Whether if no civill law be broken, the civil peace be hurt or no? |
A91790 | 33 Whether in compulsion for conscience, not onely the guilty, but the innocent suffer also? |
A91790 | 34 Whether such as are spiritually dead, be capable to be spiritually infected? |
A91790 | 36 Whether the Scriptures appoint any other punishment to be inflicted upon Heretickes, then rejection and excommunication? |
A91790 | 37 Whether freedome of conscience would not joyn all sorts of persons to the Magistrate, because each shared in the benefit? |
A91790 | 38 Whether those States( as the Low- Countries,) who grant such liberty, do not live quietly, and flourish in great prosperity? |

A91790 | compell ye a man to be present at a worship which he loaths? |
A91790 | how should they have come in? |
A91790 | shal men have no Religion at all? |
A91790 | then whether it be not a scruple to a tender conscience to submit to such in civill causes, because not appointed to that place by God? |
A39570 | 3. when he speakes for us, and is also as fluent, as fervent, and blindly confident when he talks against us, how little is it to be expected? |
A39570 | 39. were sore displeased at it, and would fain have had them been Rebuked, and Commanded to hold their Peace? |
A39570 | And were they therefore ever the more excusable, who with threatnings charged Christs Ministers to Preach no more in the Name of Iesus? |
A39570 | And what if some Texts have so? |
A39570 | As most men love to bruit abr ● … d every one his own praise, but a faithful man who can find? |
A39570 | But alas, why talk we of changing of the Law for our sakes, eleven points of the twelve of which is possession? |
A39570 | But whereunto may the Quakers liken this Bishop, who is pleased with them neither full nor fasting? |
A39570 | Do we not see Iniquity abounding beyond all bounds of modesty, and common honesty? |
A39570 | Does he any more then was wo nt to be done of old? |
A39570 | How he will draw out that Crooked Serpent, Lev ● … with a hook? |
A39570 | Is it any more then what hath said he will do? |
A39570 | Is there any new thing thereby done under the Sun? |
A39570 | Judge not, unless, or except ye be judged? |
A39570 | Nor 3dly, Whether an Oath by any creature as in relation to, depend ● … g on,& derived from God be lawful? |
A39570 | Quid rides? |
A39570 | Quis legit Haec,& c? |
A39570 | Quis non Ridet? |
A39570 | Was Christ therefore not the Christ? |
A39570 | Was the Truth ever the less the Truth, or ever the less to be testified to, because its Testimony troubled the deceitful and truthless Nations? |
A39570 | Whether all Swearing is therefore now a sin, because thus forbidden by a positive Law of Christ under the Gospel? |
A39570 | Whether all swearing be utterly forbidden, because it is, and ever was in its nature a sin against Morality? |
A39570 | Whether onely some sort of Swearing, which is a sin, is forbidden, but not such swearing as is no sin, but an act of veneration? |
A39570 | attended the Ministers of it? |
A39570 | how lofty are their eyes, and their eye- lids are lifted up? |
A39570 | how, by the foolishness of Preaching, sith in the Wisdom of God, the World by Wisdom knowes not God, it pleased him to save them that believe? |
A39570 | if so, how had Truth been propagated downward through all times of turbulent Oppositions against it to this day? |
A39570 | reach his end in reference to the Quakers, which is undeniable demonstration in order to their infallible convinction) that it is so ever? |
A39570 | so every where? |
A39570 | so here at this time, or in this place? |
A39570 | what could I have done more? |
A61547 | And was it not a Fundamental Article of that Law, that none should rule over them, but one of their Brethren? |
A61547 | And was not Tiberius such an one? |
A61547 | And, if the Law determines the nature of Contracts in Princes, why not as well the Obligation of Subjects? |
A61547 | But how came the Senate and People to lose their Right in the time of Tiberius? |
A61547 | But suppose they did not formally give up their Right, but were partly wheedled and partly forced out of it; Doth this give a good Title? |
A61547 | But supposing it, I do not understand how he that gave up his Right of Dominion to the Pope, could still retain it? |
A61547 | But to leave these general Reflections, I shall now apply my self to the main Point, Whether there be any Reason for these Scruples about the Oaths? |
A61547 | But was Darius King de jure or de facto over the Iews? |
A61547 | But what Right can such a Consent give? |
A61547 | But what Right had Darius over the Iews, any more than succeeding in the Persian Monarchy gave a Right to the Chaldean Conquests? |
A61547 | But what doth this signify to the Consciences of Men? |
A61547 | But why then may we not do so as to all that such an Oath implies? |
A61547 | Did they give him a Power to make whom he pleased his Successor? |
A61547 | For why should not present actual Dominion give as much Right, as succeeding into anothers Right of Dominion, which was at first gained by Conquest? |
A61547 | For, had not God by his own Law settled the Government among them? |
A61547 | Had they given it up by any solemn Act of theirs, as many say they did by the Lex Regia, which Iustinian confidently affirms? |
A61547 | Hardecnute being dead, how came the banisht Sons of Edmund Ironside, if he were lawful Heir, not to be sent for to succeed? |
A61547 | Have not all the ancient Zealots of the Law opposed any such Foreign Power? |
A61547 | Have we hereby changed the Standard of our Communion, or are there in this Case imposed any new Terms of Communion with us? |
A61547 | He was Augustus his Wife''s Son, and he made him his Heir by his Testament: And what was that to the Roman State? |
A61547 | How came Alfred to oppose his Election, as being illegitimate, as Malmsbury confesses? |
A61547 | How came Edred to succeed Edmond, and not his Sons Edwin and Edgar? |
A61547 | How came a Dispute to happen about the Election, after the Death of Edgar, between his eldest Son Edward, and Etheldred his youngest? |
A61547 | How come they to make so much Conscience of one, and so little of the other? |
A61547 | How could Allegiance on these Principles be sworn to him? |
A61547 | How far Edmond Mortimer''s owning the Title of H. 5. and the Duke of Cambridge''s Attainder did affect him? |
A61547 | How far our Saviour''s Rule holds in our Case? |
A61547 | How then comes a Scruple about the Oaths, to lead men to think of a Separation? |
A61547 | If Edmund had no good Title, how was the Right of Succession then preserved? |
A61547 | If he had a good Title, How could the Oaths be taken to Edward the Confessor, when the Heirs of Edmond Ironside were living? |
A61547 | If in paying Tribute, why not in solemn promising to pay it? |
A61547 | If in promising, why not in swearing, i. e. in calling God to witness that I do it? |
A61547 | If it be lawful to testify it one way, why not another? |
A61547 | If not, what Colour can there be for breaking Communion on the Account of the Oaths? |
A61547 | If the lineal Succession were a part of our Constitution, How come such perpetual Disputes to be concerning it? |
A61547 | Is a Separation from our Church become a Duty with those, who so lately looked on it as so great a Fault in others? |
A61547 | Is it not as a Token of Allegiance, i. e. of a Duty owing on the account of Protection? |
A61547 | Is it required of all who joyn in our Worship, at least, to declare, That they think the taking of them to be lawful? |
A61547 | Is not the Authority of God above that of Men? |
A61547 | It is so, as to the manner of testifying our Subjection; but the main Question is, Whether any Act of Subjection be lawful or not? |
A61547 | Might not one that had no Right, have the Power of coining Mony, and dispersing it, so that it should be in common use? |
A61547 | Now here I desire to know, whether Tiberius were any more than Emperor de facto, when they did thus swear to him? |
A61547 | Or supposing one unsatisfied about that, he may not yet be satisfied in taking such an Oath as the D. of York and his Sons did? |
A61547 | So that it was not lawful to swear Allegiance to Iulius Cesar, who had the full Possession of the Power, but it was to Tiberius: And why so? |
A61547 | Suppose Augustus had by his Acts procured the Consent of the People, as to his own Government; What was this to Tiberius? |
A61547 | Swinford, did exclude them from any Title to the Crown? |
A61547 | This seems to come from another Cause, and not from the Original Scruple: Are they afraid of joyning with others, not so tender as themselves? |
A61547 | Thus far then we may go; we may swear to pay Tribute; But on what account? |
A61547 | Was not Agrippa Posthumus, then living, much nearer to Augustus, who was his own Grand- child? |
A61547 | Was the Nation perjured in the Time of H. 7. who, as all know, had no Pretence of an Hereditary Right? |
A61547 | Was the Roman Emperor, or Pontius Pilate such? |
A61547 | Was this a lawful Oath or not? |
A61547 | What is the Reason that an Oath doth not bind against the Law? |
A61547 | What then doth he mean by this Answer? |
A61547 | What then was the Right of Tiberius to the Government founded upon? |
A61547 | What then? |
A61547 | Where was the Right of Government in the time of Iulius Cesar? |
A61547 | Whether E. 3. after the Death of the Duke of Clarence, did entail the Crown on his Heirs male? |
A61547 | Whether he was divorced from her upon it? |
A61547 | Whether one Sir Iames Awdely suffer''d about it? |
A61547 | Whether upon the Deposition of R. 2. the Claim of Right on behalf of the Duke of Clarence''s Heir, ought not to have been made? |
A61547 | Why did not our Saviour answer this Difficulty, but leave them to collect their Duty from the use of Cesar''s Coin among them? |
A61547 | and whether such an Oath may not lawfully be taken, notwithstanding any former Oath? |
A61547 | and whether upon Alexander''s Conquest, they could not as well take a new Oath to him? |
A52139 | ''T was well replyed of the English man in Edward the Fourths time, to the French man that ask''d him insulting, When they should see us there again? |
A52139 | And how shall they bring in Popery? |
A52139 | And what great Undertaking could we be ripe for abroad, while so divided at home? |
A52139 | And what part did he play? |
A52139 | Are there no terms of Pradon, Mr. Bayes? |
A52139 | But Mr. Bayes doth not this now look like Sorcery and Extortion, which of all crimes you purge your self from so often without an Accuser? |
A52139 | But now among friends, was there ever any thing so monstrous? |
A52139 | But what do you think of this Man? |
A52139 | But what will you say to that of the Arch- bishops, than either like Philosophers or like Christians? |
A52139 | But what, pray Mr. Bayes, is this Pin in Pallas''s Buckler? |
A52139 | But who shall be the Judg? |
A52139 | But( that I may not offend in Latin too frequently? |
A52139 | But, Mr. Bayes why may not your Answerer or any man else quote St. Austin, as well as you may the Scri ● … re? |
A52139 | Can the refusal of Communion here be thought any other thing than Duty? |
A52139 | Could Mistriss Mopsa her self have furnished you with a more pleasant and worshipful Tale? |
A52139 | Did he like a Protestant Apostle, in one day convert thousands of the Irish Papists? |
A52139 | Do not you think that the King has considered all these things? |
A52139 | Do you not see now, Mr. Bays, that you needed not have gone so for a word, when you might have had it in the Neighbourhood? |
A52139 | Do you think the Christians would have palliated so 〈 ◊ 〉, and colluded with their Consciences? |
A52139 | For who so proper as a young Priest to sacrifice to the Genius of the Age; yea, though his Conscience were the Offering? |
A52139 | Fy, ● … y, Mr. Bayes, Is this the Language of a Divine, and to be used, as you ometimes express it, in the fa ● … of the Sun? |
A52139 | Had he no Friends to have given him good Counsel before his Understanding were quite unsettled? |
A52139 | Hereupon what do they? |
A52139 | How near does this come to his commendation of Bishop Bramhal before? |
A52139 | I would ask in what manner? |
A52139 | If I had leisure how easy a thing it were for to extract out of the Narrative a just parallel of our Author, even almost upon all points? |
A52139 | Is this the same thing now? |
A52139 | It seems that he knowes something more than I did believe of the Design in the late times before the War Whom doth he mean by our Governours? |
A52139 | It wants nothing of perfection, but that it doth not begin with Once upon a time? |
A52139 | Or, would he( with all 〈 ◊ 〉 be it spoken) 〈 ◊ 〉 his Kingdom of England for that of Macassar? |
A52139 | Shall these Men alwayes presume to usur ● … to themselves that venerable stile of the Church of England? |
A52139 | Such as this, Why may not the Soveraign Power bestow this Priviledge upon Ceremony, and Custom, by virtue of its prerogative? |
A52139 | Upon such occasions in company, we use to ask, Sir, Whom d ● … you mean? |
A52139 | Was the Bookseller more Impotunate, or the Author more Courteous? |
A52139 | What Censures, what Excommunications, what Deprivations, what Imprisonments? |
A52139 | What Ignorance, or rat ● … er, what Forgery is this of Scripture& Religio ● …? |
A52139 | What Signal Marks, what Testimonies would he have of this Conversion? |
A52139 | What can I tell thee then but miserie? |
A52139 | What does Mr. Bayes in this case? |
A52139 | What if the gesture or adoration to be used to the Altars, as now we have learned to speak? |
A52139 | What shall he do then? |
A52139 | What was here to inrage our Author so that he must raze the Fort of St. Katherine, and attempt with the same success a second Escalade? |
A52139 | What would they have had more? |

A52139 | Who could in Reason expect that a Man should in the same moments undertake the labour of an Author and a Father? |
A52139 | Who is there of the Systematical, German Geneva, Orthodox Divines, but could have taught him better? |
A52139 | Why, saith he, must you prescribe me what I shall write? |
A52139 | Would Mr. Bayes then perswade men to assert this against all the Powers of the Earth? |

A41771 | 1 First if the deed and obligation of our Ancestors? |
A41771 | 19 2, Then how could the great Assembly pray for a Blessing on this late Association? |
A41771 | 2 2 I know thy works and thy Labour and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them? |
A41771 | 2 Secondly, if it be in the power of people to choise any form or kind of Government? |
A41771 | 33. Who feared the Lord and served their own Gods Or what more have you to boast of by your Learning and external form of piety? |
A41771 | And can do nothing of our selves, without the Lords Assistance, and the help of his holy Spirit? |
A41771 | And must the People by an implicit submission and deplorable stupidity, destroy themselves? |
A41771 | And seing the Lord will be glorious in his judgments? |
A41771 | And there rest on their Protestations, would thus effectuat any thing? |
A41771 | And this was done by the English Prelats who were the principal moving Instruments in this Revolution, in bringing him to the Throne? |
A41771 | And when the Lord leaves the house, why should Man abide in it? |
A41771 | Are not the best of Men subject to sin and fallings? |
A41771 | But Secondly, You say though there be dissatisfaction with many Persons, whether Officers or Members? |
A41771 | But it is objected, that this too hard a Sentence; will we Condemn all? |
A41771 | But unto the wicked God sayes, What hast thou to do to declare my Statutes? |
A41771 | Doth not such Prayers draw to a Blasphemous consequence? |
A41771 | Furder I would interrogat the great Assemby, how they parted with the Indulgency and Toleration? |
A41771 | Have not they in such an extremity, good ground to make use of that natural and radical power they have? |
A41771 | Have you this to say that you are in Judgment sound Presbyterians and professes sound Principles? |
A41771 | How prove we, that Conversion is not be ascribed to the present Church? |
A41771 | How then can this Body admit of two distinct Authorities, or how can Obedience consist with it? |
A41771 | I say can the Church which is Christs Body, serve two Heads? |
A41771 | Now according to the Judgment of the Assembly, if it shall be yealded? |
A41771 | Now let them be cast into a Categorical Mould ▪ What form shall come forth? |
A41771 | Now yield, that Ministers and Elders were sufficient, and free of all Scandal, dot not their joining with the present Church? |
A41771 | Oh ▪ can Union be in sin and defection? |
A41771 | Or against which of all the Atri ● utes of God( either Communicable or Incommunicable) would this take up a con ● radiction? |
A41771 | Que ● t: Why will you join with others, in so far as they are Reformed? |
A41771 | Secondly, If it be in the power of the People, to choise any form or kind of Government that they please? |
A41771 | Shal the end of Government be lost throw the Weakness, Tyrrany, and Wickedness of Governours? |
A41771 | Should they give up their reason as Men? |
A41771 | So that ye are never in favour with God, nor honoured of him to own duty, but still goes on in the same sin: For what can obstinat Sinners do? |
A41771 | That there were no Church on Earth with which we could join with, no more than with you; would this be any thing absurd? |
A41771 | The Question then is, What shall the dissatisfied do, whether separat or no? |
A41771 | Their Consciences as Christians? |
A41771 | To which I Answer, What if it were yeilded in Thesi? |
A41771 | To which I Answer, it would be interrogat, if the Assembly understands these defects? |
A41771 | What concord hath Christ with Belial? |
A41771 | What doth the Assembly mean by their Sentiments? |
A41771 | What fellowship hath Righteousness with Vnrighteousness, and what Communion hath Light with Darkness? |
A41771 | What if all the Shires in Scotland would send a Thousand Arm''d Men to the chief City of every Shire, to declare against them? |
A41771 | When debates are not about a Fundamental Truth and Necessar duty? |
A41771 | ],[ Edinburgh? |
A41771 | and what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
A41771 | and yet the Governours use not the Rod of Discipline to censure them; Then whether should the Members separat from that Church, yea or no? |
A41771 | how contradictorie is this to the command of God? |
A41771 | how miserable would this ● ● nd be? |
A41771 | make them scandalous, and doth not our practise in withdrawing from them? |
A41771 | or can we ● ccuse them of the Erastian Indulgence and Toleration? |
A41771 | or how can any within the Church? |
A41771 | or what Agreement hath the Temple of GOD with Idols? |
A41771 | or what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols? |
A41771 | or what part hath he that Believeth with an Infidel? |
A41771 | or what part hath he that believeth with an unbeliever? |
A41771 | or would you be in a happy condition if you obtained it? |
A41771 | shall it so be with you? |
A41771 | to admit of two distinct Authorities, and doth not this overturn the nature and Vows of Baptism? |
A41771 | which are evill and thou hast tryed them which say they are Apostles and are not, and hast found them liars what shal I say then in this? |
A41771 | will you still go on in a wilful malicious despite against the cause of Christ, and the followers thereof? |
A41771 | would not this make the Church a Monster? |
A58720 | 20, 21,& c.* And if they must keep so precisely to the Practice of those Days, why does any of their Ministers marry a Second Wife? |
A58720 | 8. or Kneeling, be Prayer it self, or only outward helps to Prayer to make it more fervent? |
A58720 | And if any shall but offer to inform them, tho''in never so peaceable and friendly a manner, does it not prove the occasion of an eternal Quarrel? |
A58720 | And the Augustine Confession has; Some Men then may ask, whether we would have this life of Man to be without Order, without Ceremonies? |
A58720 | And then what is this to the case of our Dissenters? |
A58720 | And were not then the Pastors invested with a Power superior to that of the People? |
A58720 | And will not our Dissenters shew the same respect to a Christian Prince that the Apostles did to Heathen Magistrates? |
A58720 | And yet will they perswade us we are Idolaters? |
A58720 | Besides, though these Subscriptions were sufficient cause for Separation, how can the Lay People justifie their Separation upon this account? |
A58720 | But allowing these Presbyters were Bishops, what advantage will it be to them? |
A58720 | But how can self- interest oblige the Clergy to defend the Church of England as now establish''d, if they thought it not agreeable to the Word of God? |
A58720 | But pray, How comes the posture of sitting to be the only fit posture for receiving the Lord''s Supper? |
A58720 | But pray, Why may not the words make as perfect a Prayer when they are pronounced by two Mouths, as when only by one? |
A58720 | But some of them say, Why should not Ministers be tied to a Form of Preaching, as well as of Praying? |
A58720 | But suppose we shou''d grant that the Apostolick Churches were Congregational( as''t is plain they were not) what then? |
A58720 | But what need we go so far from home for Instances of this kind? |
A58720 | But where have they Authority for this Opinion? |
A58720 | But, say the Dissenters, What if the Church of England Excommunicates us; may we not then lawfully Separate and set up Meetings of our own? |
A58720 | But, say they, If these Ceremonies do not bind the Consciences of Men, Why does the Discipline and Censures of the Church, force Men to use them? |
A58720 | Did not Christ appoint Apostles, and give them Authority for that end? |
A58720 | Did not they in all places as they planted Churches, appoint Officers to teach and govern them? |
A58720 | Do they separate from the Church out of pure Conscience? |
A58720 | For the Episcopal Government, what is there in it that is dangerous, and may reasonably alarm Men''s Consciences? |
A58720 | How came they then to lose it, ● or how came the People to pretend an original Right thereto? |
A58720 | How can these Men pretend then that they have us''d all proper means to satisfie their Consciences? |
A58720 | How comes it then, that the Spirit of the Hearers is not as much stinted when they joyn in this Form, as if they had joyn''d in a written Form? |
A58720 | How will they now justify their Separation, or clear themselves from the imputation of Schism? |
A58720 | If one may be dispens''d with without sin, Why not another? |
A58720 | If so, Why will they hear the Extempore Prayer of another Man? |
A58720 | If they are resolv''d; they will not believe Separation from a true Church to be sinful, who can help that? |
A58720 | If they will not be so civil as to Conform to the Church of England, Why will they not follow the Example of other Reformed Churches? |
A58720 | Is Schism not a sin? |
A58720 | Is it in reverence to the Ministers, least they should have none to Preach to? |
A58720 | Is not this truly the case among them? |
A58720 | May I not Separate in such case? |
A58720 | Must they therefore proceed to Separation? |
A58720 | Now, How shall we know what Ceremonies are lawful, and what not? |
A58720 | Or is their Separation from us not Schism? |
A58720 | Pray let me ask them how this Original and inherent Right( as Mr. Baxter calls it) of choosing their own Ministers, came to be lodg''d in the People? |
A58720 | Shall we believe that all these learned Men did not understand the meaning of that Text so well as some of our Dissenters do? |
A58720 | Was it not in the Apostles? |
A58720 | Was that the posture Christ us''d? |
A58720 | Was there not a Church to be form''d in the beginning? |
A58720 | What Power are they depriv''d of by the Bishops that they had then? |
A58720 | What have they to say to this? |
A58720 | What says Mr. Baxter to this? |
A58720 | What will they say to this? |
A58720 | Where do they find that Churches were limitted to particular Congregations? |
A58720 | Where was the Church Power then lodg''d? |
A58720 | Why do they not observe all these Circumstances? |
A58720 | Why do they not take it leaning as Christ did, and after Supper, and in an upper Room? |
A58720 | Why then do the People forsake the Church? |
A58720 | Why then may not this be done as well when''t is read as when''t is pronounced by another? |
A58720 | Why will not our Non- conformist Ministers follow their example? |
A58720 | Years, since that, for all that time, all the Churches of the World had no other kind of Government? |
A58720 | but whether this or that Minister of Christ? |
A58720 | is not this as much a Form of Prayer to all the Hearers, as any written Form can be? |
A58720 | or at least put a stop to any farther intimacy between them? |
A58720 | yes, say they, doubtless we do: But have they us''d all proper means to inform their judgments, and come to the knowledge of the truth? |
A58720 | ▪ Nay farther, When they declare''t is needless to go about to remove their Scruples, for they are resolv''d beforehand they will not be convinc''d? |

A29526 | 16. how are they carried about from one quarter of the heavens to another? |
A29526 | 3. where he parlies with them about it, Are ye so foolish,( saith he) having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh? |
A29526 | And are you so? |
A29526 | And from what, and to what were they thus turned? |
A29526 | And how many every where carried about with them? |
A29526 | And how so? |
A29526 | And is it so? |
A29526 | And so entring what did they? |
A29526 | And such wheeles how many in this Nation at this day? |
A29526 | And truly so is it sometimes in matters of Religious concernment, both Doctrines and Practices, they are taking with some; How so? |
A29526 | And was this crime then adjudged to be so Capital? |
A29526 | And what then remaines( to draw to a Conclusion) but that all of us seek after this Grace? |
A29526 | And wherefore doth he foretell this? |
A29526 | And wherefore must these be? |
A29526 | And wherefore so, and so? |
A29526 | And wherefore this? |
A29526 | Are his sinnes many and great? |
A29526 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his coming? |
A29526 | Being( as it seemeth) every way such as Saint Peter there describeth, unlearned and unstable; what a nose of wax do they make of the Scriptures? |
A29526 | But how cometh it so to be? |
A29526 | But how shall that be done? |
A29526 | But what Doctrine? |
A29526 | But what shall we understand hereby? |
A29526 | But when the Sun is up, what need of Canales? |
A29526 | But withall, how many are there found to be intoxicated therewith? |
A29526 | But withall, who knoweth what the Consequence of those more venial Errors may be? |
A29526 | But you will now say unto me; How shall we be preserved from this so dangerous a Vertigo? |
A29526 | But( taking it thus) how doth this Grace establish the Heart? |
A29526 | But( will some say) may we not try all things? |
A29526 | Come we now to the latter, How it cometh to passe that Christians professing the faith of Christ, should be carried about with such Doctrines? |
A29526 | For Doctrines, how divers? |
A29526 | For what is our hope, or joy, or Crown of rejoycing( saith he)? |
A29526 | How Christians come to be carried about with false doctrines? |
A29526 | How are their hearts hereby filled with disquieting cares, and tormenting fears? |
A29526 | How cometh it to passe that there should be such Doctrines held forth? |
A29526 | How cometh this to passe? |
A29526 | How shall we be kept from being thus carried about, and carried away? |
A29526 | How unsearchable are his Iudgments, and his wayes past finding out? |
A29526 | Is not this a Christians liberty? |
A29526 | May we know( say they) what this new doctrine whereof thou speakest is? |
A29526 | May we not try all things? |
A29526 | Now how cometh this to passe? |
A29526 | Now of whether of these shall we understand the Apostle here to speak? |
A29526 | Now so taking it, What is it for the heart to be Established? |
A29526 | Now what a dishonour then is this? |
A29526 | Now what wonder is it to see unballasted vessels, light Skiffs and Cock- boats, to be tossed to and fro upon the waves? |
A29526 | Or despise you the Church of God? |
A29526 | Prove all things; Hold fast that which is good? |

A29526 | Should the Mariner do so by his Card and Compasse? |

A29526 | True( say some) they are so to do; but how long? |
A29526 | What Wolves were these? |
A29526 | What doubts which it can not resolve? |
A29526 | What part of the Soul? |
A29526 | What were this but to set Hagar above Sarah: to give the handmaid the upper hand of her Mistresse? |
A29526 | What winds are there that can arise in the heart of a Christian, which this one word( Grace) is not able to lay? |
A29526 | Whence is it that so many have been carried about with divers and strange doctrines? |
A29526 | Why do thy disciples transgresse the traditions of the Elders? |
A29526 | Would not you miscarry in the like way? |
A29526 | Would you not be thus carried about? |
A29526 | Would you not be thus carried about? |
A29526 | [ Shall I praise you for this? |
A29526 | and many of them how strange? |
A29526 | and then, that so many should be carried about with them? |
A29526 | first, that there should be such doctrines held forth? |
A29526 | how taking is this with many? |
A29526 | nay, is it not his duty? |
A29526 | this is sufficient to heal them: are his wants many? |
A29526 | this is sufficient to pardon them: are his Infirmities many? |
A29526 | this turning sicknesse? |
A29526 | to have the Professours of it so unlike unto it self; the children so unlike the mother, such Changelings? |
A29526 | what Grace is it that hath this Property? |
A29526 | what ballast shall we get? |
A29526 | what variety of strange doctrines are there to be found? |
A29526 | when Christ is once come into the heart of a Christian, dwelling there by his Spirit, what need then any more of this Candle- light of the Scriptures? |
A29526 | when the wheel begins to turn, going down the Hill, who knoweth where it will stay? |
A29526 | whether before they come to the bottome of the Hill, to the bottome of Hell, or no? |
A29526 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 Are ye so foolish? |
A38683 | And is it not a great error to make meer praying, and hearing, and to be affected in them our and? |
A38683 | As to your profiting, I would ask, is not that by the spirit of God? |
A38683 | Besides, how many of you will hear it at a Christning? |
A38683 | But how many I will not say invent evil reports, but rejoyce at them, and envy their fame and repute? |
A38683 | But let me be informed from you what you mean by profiting, are you taught any truth needful for your souls that is not taught in publik? |
A38683 | But suppose he that you think you can profit most by should go into India? |
A38683 | But what need I say more? |
A38683 | C. Because, if so, I am afraid it''s only a conversion to the Non- conformists, and not to God? |
A38683 | C. Can you remember the particular arguments or reasons that so awakened you the last time? |
A38683 | C. Did you ever know any confess themselves to be the causers of division, though they were? |
A38683 | C. Have you any just exceptions against the life or Doctrine of our Minister? |
A38683 | C. Is it more in the power of a Non- conformist Minister to give grace than a Conformist? |
A38683 | C. Is our Minister bound to preach? |
A38683 | C. Surely you are highly mistaken, to think that good prayers can be formal, or make you cold and dead in praying them? |
A38683 | C. What is more fickle than the multitude, who are tossed up and down with every wind of Doctrine? |
A38683 | C. Who prayed and fasted more than the Pharisees? |
A38683 | Christians are enjoyn''d to pray for Heathen Governors, and do they act like Christians that pray against Christian Governors? |
A38683 | Have you any thing else you would advise me to? |
A38683 | I mean, is not the spirit the Author of real grace in the heart, and piety in the life? |
A38683 | I pray speak sincerely, do you find any such over- powering sense of any truth continue in your mind afterwards? |
A38683 | If you scruple at Common- Prayer, why do you not joyn with us in the rest? |
A38683 | Is this the same case with Christs and the Apostles? |
A38683 | Let me ask you therefore, are they not hugely affected to the Non- conformists way? |
A38683 | N. C, No, but in those waters we find the spirit most moving, must we not frequent most there? |
A38683 | N. C. But can you think that a people that pray, and fast, and hear so much are not the best? |
A38683 | N. C. But do you not observe how many there are that worship God in private? |
A38683 | N. C. But have not the Puritans been alway accounted the godly of the Land? |
A38683 | N. C. But those that preach in private, have been and are instruments of converting many? |
A38683 | N. C. But what reason have you that any of them think it lawful? |
A38683 | N. C. But what? |
A38683 | N. C. But why do the Bishops suffer such men to come into Livings, and why do n''t they eject them when in? |
A38683 | N. C. I must acknowledge I think it would not, what do you gather from hence? |
A38683 | N. C. I pray tell me, how then it comes to pass that one man converteth more than another doth? |
A38683 | N. C. So they are, were ever so many Ministers so strangely driven from their places? |
A38683 | N. C. Well friend, I see you will be for your Mumpsimus still; what say you to my other reason against hearing in publick Churches? |
A38683 | N. C. Why do you ask? |
A38683 | N. C. Yes, I believe it is; what then? |
A38683 | N. C. Yes, and ought I not to go where I can profit most? |
A38683 | There is some part of the Bible in the Mass, is it e''re a whit the worse for being there? |
A38683 | To pray by a form is lawful and good, else why would our Saviour have left us a form? |
A38683 | Was not your other reason this, that you can profit most in private? |
A38683 | We must submit to every Ordinance of man for the Lords sake: Do not we blame those Ministers that are Non- resident and leave their people? |
A38683 | Why is not your way more Will- worship than ours? |
A38683 | and little of modesty, that thinks himself wiser and his own inventions, better than these? |
A38683 | and than Cromwell and his Companions? |
A38683 | and why do you forsake our own Minister who hath subscrib''d to the Articles of our Religion? |
A38683 | and why is it not as much a fault in the people to leave their Minister? |
A38683 | do they not angrily( or as they call it, zealously) condemn all that are not of their way? |
A38683 | do you not use a form for a Grace at Meals? |
A38683 | had they any thing extraordinary in them? |
A38683 | have not you a great opinion of him for his godliness, and love, and compassion to him, because a Non- conformist? |
A38683 | is it any evil in thee to accept what is given thee? |
A38683 | is it not a great deal better for you to mind ▪ judgment, mercy, and faith, than to distract your thoughts with Mint, Annice, and Cummin? |
A38683 | is not yours Will- worship? |
A38683 | is there not more of Christianity in hiding our Brothers infirmities, than in insulting over them? |
A38683 | much of confidence and will in his worship? |
A38683 | must we hear and receive Sacraments,& c. in the mean time from such a man? |
A38683 | or so affected in hearing as was spoke of before? |
A38683 | or that lives best? |
A38683 | that which we are so much affec ● ed with, we are not apt to forget: But tell me, what power hath it had upon you since? |
A38683 | what real change is made in them? |
A38683 | wherein you have more your own Will, and inventions than we have? |
A38683 | who are more likely to get grace than they? |
A38683 | who is the best Christian, he that prays,& c. most? |
A38683 | why do we use Psalms? |
A38683 | why, I pray is it lawful for us to do any thing in the Worship of God that we have not Scripture for? |
A38683 | why? |
A38683 | would they not count it a kind of Apostacy and backsliding from grace for any to forsake private meetings, and receive the Supper in publick? |
A33987 | 5: The Archbishop( as is said) asked him, Of what Profession he was? |
A33987 | All this is very true, but what then? |
A33987 | And by and by, the Bishop asks him, if he had no Letters from those of his own Order? |
A33987 | And for what Crime? |
A33987 | And what matters it, if the Argument be new, provided it be an Argument, and be strong? |
A33987 | And why are they necessary for this more than any other? |
A33987 | Archbishop saith, What is that? |
A33987 | B. is no Honest- man, but a Thief, a Murtherer,& c. I wonder what Judge or Justice of Peace would Convent any upon such an Oath? |
A33987 | But besides, what should Commin prove? |
A33987 | But did ever any Divine make Miracles necessary to confirm every Manifestation of the Spirit? |
A33987 | But he goes on:"But, I beseech you, what doth it more bind his Attention to? |
A33987 | But how doth it appear that others have? |
A33987 | But how will he avoid it? |
A33987 | But how will he prove this? |
A33987 | But it may be he will say, There is no Promise of Assistance as to Words in Prayer: What should be the Meaning of that? |
A33987 | But( admitting this, which we freely grant) is there yet no need of the Spirit to bring to remembrance the things we have had of Christ''s? |
A33987 | By what Authority did the Bishop Sentence him to the Pillory, to have his Ears cut off, his Nose slit, and to suffer perpetual Imprisonment? |
A33987 | Can this Soul be thus far in this Particular be influenced, and not influenced, as to Words also expressive of this Desire and Hope? |
A33987 | Christ had undoubted Authority to institute Acts, and Means of Worship for and in his Church? |
A33987 | Do not the Words here follow the Affections? |
A33987 | Do you acknowledge any other Power, save Christ on the Earth? |
A33987 | Have not all Congregations renewed Sins, Wants, and Mercies? |
A33987 | How must the Entry of this be? |
A33987 | How should there be, or what need was there of any Dispute about it, till it came to be universally imposed? |
A33987 | How unreasonable is this for him to say, who will allow the Holy Spirit no Influence, but upon our Affections, exciting and inflaming them? |
A33987 | Is it to attend to the Words and Phrases? |
A33987 | Is it upon the Matter of Prayer? |
A33987 | Is not this very unfair dealing, and an horrible Derogation from the Dignity, and blessed influences of the Holy Spirit? |
A33987 | Or, that Prayers should be made for all Men, as to those things that are the Common Wants of all Men, but no further? |
A33987 | Suppose they do proceed from natural Causes, why may not the Holy Spirit set those natural Causes on work? |
A33987 | The Archbishop asks him, What Gospel he call''d the Holy Gospel? |
A33987 | The Archbishop asks him, What Order was that? |
A33987 | The Archbishop asks, Do you acknowledge any other Power save that of Christ to be on the Earth? |
A33987 | The Archbishop asks, Of what Parish, and in what Diocess? |
A33987 | The Archbishop asks, Vnder what Porrer do you own to bold that Gospel? |
A33987 | The Archbishop replies, Where then I Pray? |
A33987 | The Archbishop saith, Do you not acknowledge, a Defender of the Holy Catholick Faith? |
A33987 | The Archbishops asks, How do you endeavour to make the Church purer, when you neither communicate with Her in Sacraments, or in Prayer? |
A33987 | The Author goeth on telling us, that after some Consideration, he was called in again and asked, Whether he was ever ordained, and by whom? |
A33987 | The Queen asked him, What he had to say against F. Commin, that he suspected him to be an Impostor? |
A33987 | To which the Pope returned, How in the Name of Iesus, Mary, and all the Saints hast thou done so? |
A33987 | Was it his Praying two Hours? |
A33987 | Was not this a great Blockhead, think we for a Iesuite? |
A33987 | We say, who asketh any such Thing? |
A33987 | What Reason can there be assign''d, why those Acts of inward Affections, should not be as intense and vigorous as those that go before them? |
A33987 | What was there now in all this, to prove Faithful Commin a Popish Priest? |
A33987 | What, and whose Cases, or Wants, the Minister is bound to represent or make known to God in the publick Congregations or Meetings of Christians? |
A33987 | What, if some Iesuites have discoursed for this kind of Prayer under the Name of Oratio acquisita, acquired Prayer? |
A33987 | What? |
A33987 | Whether Forms of Prayer be lawful yea or no? |
A33987 | Whether People may join with Ministers using them? |
A33987 | Whether Praying in a Form of Words do not stint and limit the Spirit of Prayer? |
A33987 | Whether supposing them lawful, they may be lawfully imposed on Ministers of the Gospel? |
A33987 | Whether the Use of Publick Forms of Prayer doth not deaden the Devotion of Prayer? |
A33987 | Whether the common Cases and Wants of Christians can be so well expressed in one constant Form, as in a conceived Prayer? |
A33987 | Whether the use of Publick Forms, be not a sinful neglect of the Ministerial Gift of Prayer? |
A33987 | Whether there be any Warrant for Forms of Prayer in Scripture, or pure Antiquity? |
A33987 | Whether there be not more of the Work of our own Spirit in it( which I think no modest Man will deny?) |
A33987 | Why may we not express it by these Phrases as well as those? |
A54142 | And can we reasonably think the Romanists will be wanting in that, when they see it is their own( and perhaps their only) Interest to do so? |
A54142 | And if it be so, what can it do? |
A54142 | And if they say, O but they were in Error that punish''d their Non- conformity; I answer, how can she prove that she is Infallibly in the Right? |
A54142 | And is not this a Rare Motive for a Christian Church to continue Penal Laws for Religion? |
A54142 | And what are they? |
A54142 | Are there Tares in Opinion? |
A54142 | Are we afraid of their Power and yet provoke it? |
A54142 | But may I without Offence ask her, when she kept Persecution out? |
A54142 | But what need we go so far back? |
A54142 | But, Is it not an odd thing, that by leaving them on foot, every Body shall have Liberty of Conscience but the Goverment? |
A54142 | Could they Conscientiously oppose his Exclusion for his Religion, and now his Religion because he will not leave it? |
A54142 | Did Christ then come to save Mens Lives, and not to destroy them? |
A54142 | Does he seek to impose his own Religion upon her? |
A54142 | He condemned that Spirit in his Disciples, and shall we uphold the same Spirit, and that by Law too, which he condemned by his Gospel? |
A54142 | How can she be sincerely willing that should be done, that she is not willing should be done legally? |
A54142 | How could she hope for this King without his Conscience? |
A54142 | How? |
A54142 | I apply it thus: Is it not her Interest to be careful she does it not a second time? |
A54142 | I believe there may be some poor silly Biggots that hope bigger, and talk further, but who can help that? |
A54142 | I have been often scandal''d at that Expression from the Sons of the Church of England, especially those of the Robe, What do you talk for? |
A54142 | Is it their Property to do so? |
A54142 | Is it unjust in Popery to invade her Priviledges, and can it be just in her to provoke it, by denying a Christian Liberty? |
A54142 | Is not this doing Evil that Good may come of it, and that uncertain too, against an express Command as well as common Charity? |
A54142 | Is this against Protestancy? |
A54142 | Is this an Immitation of their practice, to uphold the Weapons of their Destruction? |
A54142 | Let the Tears and Wheat grow together till the Harvest; what''s that? |
A54142 | Let us not then usurp their Office Besides, we are to Love Enemies; this is the great Law of our Religion; by what Law then are we to Persecute them? |
A54142 | O what Corruption is this that has prevail''d over Men of such Pretensions to Light and Conscience? |
A54142 | Or if she keeps out Popery for any bodies sake but her own? |
A54142 | Or to exclude those from her Society who may be admitted into Heaven? |
A54142 | Shall the Church of England, that glories in a great Light, be more concern''d for her Power, than her Credit? |
A54142 | She pretends to fear the Strokes of the Romanists, but I would fain know of her, if following their Example will convert them, or secure her? |
A54142 | Should they not be pluckt up before? |
A54142 | Suppose this, is there not as Potent Naval Powers to assist the Constitution of the Kingdom from such Invasions? |
A54142 | Suppose your Apprehensions well grounded, you can but be Destroy''d; Which is most comfortable for you to suffer by Law or without it? |
A54142 | They shall think, says he to his Disciples, they do God good service to kill you; who should think so? |
A54142 | To be, than to be that which she should be? |
A54142 | Was not Religion sufficiently guarded and fenced in ● hem? |
A54142 | Was there ever more true and cordial Reverence in the Worship of God? |
A54142 | Well, but if we must not knock Folks on the Head, what must we do with them? |
A54142 | What Charter hath Christ given the Church to bind men up to more than himself hath done? |
A54142 | What ground can there be why Christians should not stand upon the same terms now which they did in the time of Christ and his Apostles? |
A54142 | What then has befallen her, that she changes the course she took with such resolutions of perseverance? |
A54142 | What then is the matter? |
A54142 | What then is the use of Penal Laws? |
A54142 | What weight is it to a Church, that she is the Church by Law established, when no humane Law can make a true Church? |
A54142 | Where is Faith in God? |
A54142 | Who art Thou( saith he) who dost judge another? |
A54142 | Will she Dissent from both now? |
A54142 | and should she( she I say, that pretends to be a reformed Church) uphold those Laws that do destroy them? |
A54142 | as if he should have said, dost thou know thy self, what thou art, and what thou dost? |
A54142 | is it not recent in memory, that Bishop Vsher was Employ''d to O. Cromwell by some of the Clergy of the Church of England for Liberty of Conscience? |
A54142 | or can she expect what she will not give? |
A54142 | or conceive that his Honour or Conscience would let him leave the Members of his Communion under the lash of so many Destroying Laws? |
A54142 | or not do as she would be done by, because she fears others will not observe the same Rule to her? |
A54142 | where is trust in Providence? |
A54142 | with Penal Laws? |
A54142 | would she be so serv''d by a Prince of her own Religion, and she in the like Circumstances? |

A85415 | Againe, is it not one of their owne Principles, that no act performed by man, can be the foundation of Christian Religion? |
A85415 | Are not most of your own Doctrines found amongst the Tenets of Arminius? |
A85415 | Are those opinions erroneous, or hereticall in Independents, which are orthodox and Canonicall in Presbyterians? |
A85415 | B. brought upon the Stage, as well as I. G. in the habite and reproach of an Erroneous and Hereticall man? |
A85415 | But I beseech you, tell me seriously: is it matter of conscience indeed with you, to punish the innocent with the guilty? |
A85415 | Can the children of this Profession be ignorant, that there are amongst themselves discrepances in judgements, and contrarieties in opinions? |
A85415 | Delicti fies idem reprehensor,& Author? |
A85415 | Doe you not want Errours and Heresies to complete your catologue& roll, when you are necessitated to muster and take in such as these? |
A85415 | For how often doe they dissemble and prevaricate with their professions? |
A85415 | For what can reasonably be meant, by a testimony to our Solemne League and Covenant? |
A85415 | For what? |
A85415 | Have I not then reason to doubt, whether any of those men of renowne, and not rather some petty Scribe, was the Compiler of it? |
A85415 | If so, I desire to know where, or in what part of the booke, they give testimony unto the Truth of Jesus Christ? |
A85415 | If there be no Free- will, how doth he judg the world e? |
A85415 | If there be no grace of God( saith he) how doth he save the world? |
A85415 | Is their love any whit more extensive, than only to cover the multitude of their owne sins? |
A85415 | Is there any need of charging a stone, that it doe not speake; or a deafe man, that he doe not hear; or a blind man, that he doe not see? |
A85415 | Is this the Suprcma lex in the Republique of Presbyterie? |
A85415 | Is this to appeare for God, or his truth, to appeare against evident reason, yea common sence it selfe? |
A85415 | Is this your reall Reformation, to cry out Midnight when the Sunne shines in his might upon your faces? |
A85415 | Mr. Ash, Mr. Candrey, Mr. Calamie, Mr. Burgesse? |
A85415 | Must we needs speake nothing but non- sence, and inconsistencies, to be free from Errours and Heresies? |
A85415 | Or doth not this plainly imply, that there is apprehension of errour in the respective Dissenters amonst them? |
A85415 | Or he that sowes only tares in his field, to finde himselfe agrieved, that the earth makes him not a returne in wheate? |
A85415 | Some of you( I suppose) can not be ignorant, but that they are: but doe you therefore judge them Errours or Heresies? |
A85415 | The said Testimony produceth my Errors& Heresies( so called) by whole pages,& half pages, as if it were loth to leave any romth for other mens? |
A85415 | Was it to represent me to your Reader as a man of monstrous and prodigious errours? |
A85415 | and again; where, and in what other part of it, they give testimony against Errours and Heresies? |
A85415 | and not rather a direct course to harden and strengthen men in both? |

A62888 | And do they not breed up their Children and Relations in the very same Principles with themselves? |
A62888 | And in the mean time, are not Religion and Government like to be at a very fine pass? |
A62888 | And pray, tell me, what shall a Prince do in that Case, where are diverse ways of Worship allowed and frequented in the same Nation? |
A62888 | And what one Opinion is there imaginable, which may not be brought in under the pretence of a farther degree of New Light? |
A62888 | Are Peace and Truth the Ingredients which must heal us? |
A62888 | Besides, are not the Vulgar People the hands, the Tools, the Instruments which the Greatest must always make use of? |
A62888 | Did not every Press and every Pulpit declare against Episcopacy, Liturgy and Cere ● onies? |
A62888 | Dost thou thus reward the Lord, O foolish England and unwise? |
A62888 | Hath it no Rule which it ought to walk by? |
A62888 | Hath not any such Undertaker a vast and already formed Party in all Parts of the Kingdom? |
A62888 | How doth it appear that Conscience hath any such absolute Right to Liberty? |
A62888 | How many Ages will the Nonconformists take to breed up a man equal to any one of these? |
A62888 | How many were there who went out upon the great assurance which they had from their Agents in London of returning again in a few Weeks with Honour? |
A62888 | If it be lawful to fight with a King, why is it not lawful to kill him? |
A62888 | In the next place I shall ask, who taught the People to be offended at a few harmless Ceremonies? |
A62888 | Now I would ● ain know of these Gentlemen, whether they are of the same Judgment now about Toleration, as they were then? |
A62888 | Now if the Pride of these Men should be thus far gratified, who can secure us of any great Effect from it? |
A62888 | Now is it any wonder, if there were nothing more in the Case than this, that in Trade they should much out- do us? |
A62888 | Or, Secondly, shall the Prince carry himself equally and indifferently towards all Perswasions, countenance and prefer them all alike? |
A62888 | Shall he discountenance the Professors of any one, by keeping them out of all Office and Employment? |
A62888 | Such and such a one is a very precious and knowing man, and do you think that he would not conform, if he did not know Conformity to be a sin? |

A62888 | Who first betrayed great numbers into folly, and ever after continued to humour them in it? |
A62888 | Why shall I fight( saith one) for a Prince who is an Idolater? |
A62888 | Will their Hearers imitate their Teachers in their compliance upon these Terms or abhorr them for it? |
A62888 | hath it no obligation to follow any besides its own Light? |
A51052 | And how far it is by us admissible? |
A51052 | And what abatement is there condescended unto of the exorbitant powers of Prelacy, which is not here either formally or virtually repaired? |
A51052 | And what complyance we may have ● or it? |
A51052 | And why is this accusation pretended to be in general of all such Covenants, when yet it is expressely intended against the League and Covenant? |
A51052 | And, am not I grieved, O Lord, with them that rise up against thee? |
A51052 | But he goeth on, However, are we Christians? |
A51052 | But is he therefore bound to know them all, or to contend for them? |
A51052 | But it may be said, if we be reponed to the same Estate wherein our Predecessours were, how can we prove disconforme in our practice? |
A51052 | But where there hath appeared no conscience in keeping; why do we expect much sense in interpreting? |
A51052 | But wherefore should I urge such deceitful generals? |
A51052 | But why trifle I with such a person? |
A51052 | Can not these thing lye easily enough together in an Oath, which yet are all comprehended in the Law of God? |
A51052 | How then can these two consist? |
A51052 | How will he excuse this inconsequence and inequality? |
A51052 | Is it because the Author would have us to reckon it amongst the worst of combinations? |
A51052 | Is not this an odde medly to be hudled up in a sacred oath? |
A51052 | It is true, our Presbyterie did not retain union as it was desired; but what then? |
A51052 | Must we believe the Covenant to eb worse then can be expressed, because the Accuser can prove nothing? |
A51052 | Nay, who is man in that case of whom we should be afraid? |
A51052 | Neither is it the present question, whether we may simply joyne in these meetings or not? |
A51052 | No? |
A51052 | Or because we are violently expressed, must we therefore be repute wil ● ul deserters? |
A51052 | Or by what salvo may my sitting and acting be justified in a meeting, in the power whereof I hold it unlawful to partake? |
A51052 | Thus I have heard that the Bishop of Glasgow, in answer to a person expressing his fears of the return of Popery, told him, what then? |
A51052 | Very right; why should not their origen and warrant, and the measure and rule of their power go together? |
A51052 | Was not this grave and judicious reasoning? |
A51052 | Well, admit this to be a truth, what then? |
A51052 | What Logick can knit together such inferences? |
A51052 | What shall become of Patronages pertaining to Bishops, and of other Churches which are of their patrimony? |
A51052 | What then? |
A51052 | What? |
A51052 | Whether a constant Moderator, or fixed Proeslos, for terme of life, in Church- meetings, be a thing in it self lawful? |
A51052 | Who can deny it? |
A51052 | Who would not pity such dissolute folly? |
A51052 | Who would not pity such folly? |
A51052 | are the present Presbyteries and Synods no Presbyteries and Synods? |
A51052 | or in what manner can they be reconciled? |
A51052 | then are the present Ministers no Presbyters? |
A51052 | who would not long for the shadows of the evening, and ● o b ● at rest from all these poor, childish, trifling contest ●? |

A42456 | Again, is the attestation it selfe true, or no? |
A42456 | Again, where, think we, meaneth he, that all this was pretended? |
A42456 | Against those words, f Did I not then shew both patience, love, and all good affection? |
A42456 | And indeed what was it to any of us, whether M. Walker had had M. Wottons answers, or no? |
A42456 | And might they not justly so report, when in effect the Ministers under their hands had all joyntly so done? |
A42456 | And to what end then should such a charge be given to the Doctor, that M. VValker should by no means be admitted to the sight of it? |
A42456 | And to what purpose were it, for me to deny, and you to affirme; and so as it were out- vy one anothers credit? |
A42456 | And why so? |
A42456 | But am I, or is any man else bound to reconcile whatsoever contradictions are, if any be, or may be found in M. VVottons writings? |
A42456 | But how, or where, doth M. VVotton thus deride our Orthodox Divines? |
A42456 | But what saith Lubbertus to him for it? |
A42456 | Did ever man read a charge more malicious, or more slenderly backt? |
A42456 | For doth not the Word of God say expresly, that i Christ was, and is justified? |
A42456 | For first, I might demand of him, where I so extolled M. Bradshaws book? |
A42456 | For first, is M. Walker a Minister of Gods Word? |
A42456 | For first, who be the They, that he speaketh of? |
A42456 | For how can that be erroneous, that is held on good ground? |
A42456 | For not to stand upon strict terms concerning the word Worthie: what doth M. Wotton say more here, then that which he saith else- where? |
A42456 | For what needed M. Walker to have kept all this coil, and have made all this ado if no such thing had then been, or were about to ● e done? |
A42456 | For x what Iudge is bound to sentence any man upon evidence not produced? |
A42456 | How many mens writings may more then seven times seven errors be found in, whom it were yet most uncharitable therefore to censure for such? |
A42456 | Is the name of Antonie Wotton then so obscure a title? |
A42456 | Or is every one that is taken in grosse contradictions, of necessity thereupon to be condemned for an heretick? |
A42456 | Or wil M. Walker therefore dare to pronounce Luther an heretick, as denying the truth of Christs humanity? |
A42456 | Purgemme? |
A42456 | Sixtly, suppose it were an error, and a dangerous one to, that M. Wotton maintains; whence knows M. Walker? |
A42456 | Thirdly, what if M. Wotton and M. Bradshaw do not herein at all differ, or crosse either other? |
A42456 | We use to ask, who are blinder then they that wil not see? |
A42456 | What more pregnant? |
A42456 | Whether of the two do you credit? |
A42456 | Which if he speak of the word merit, who wil, or can deny the truth of it? |
A42456 | Who is he, that is careful to make diligent enquiry into the truth of things, who doth not oft alter his former opinion? |
A42456 | Wotton published, truly related, or no? |
A42456 | Yea but, how doth M. Walker, from what he either finds in M. Wotton, or fathers on him, extract a denial of Christs Deity? |
A42456 | Yea take away all benefit of Exposition, and who almost may not be condemned of heresie and blasphemy? |
A42456 | and was not M. Wotton the same? |
A42456 | and why not also, x because I do alwaies those things, that are pleasing to him? |
A42456 | and withall desired me to give mine opinion, whether that were not an error? |
A42456 | and yet what is it, that M. Walker thence here alledgeth? |
A42456 | at least why doth he not arraign and condemn him for an heretick as wel as M. Wotton? |
A42456 | b Where at length shall we have him? |
A42456 | but may very well be reconciled? |
A42456 | d Ecquis innocens esse pote ● j ● ● si acousasse sufficiet? |
A42456 | doth not the same word say, that k he was in favour, yea that l he grew in favour, both with God and man? |
A42456 | for how did not he take upon him to determine what was heresie, when he charged M. Wotton with it? |
A42456 | h Now where, saith he, is the infinite valew of Christs Deity, if he have need of justification and favour for himself? |
A42456 | how cometh he then to say, They? |
A42456 | or was it related only there; but pretended before at the meeting among our selves? |
A42456 | or was not either of these for himself? |
A42456 | u Is this matter of eating our Saviour such a pill to your understanding, that rather then disgest it, you will turne Turke or Infidel? |
A42456 | was it pretended at the Table? |
A42456 | was it the Doctor alone, that told all this faire tale, and pretended all this? |
A42456 | would it thence follow that M. VVotton denies the Deity of Christ? |
A42456 | yea or, that in those very words they speake the same thing? |

A41202 | And wherefore? |
A41202 | And who is Poor, sickly, tender, despised, mocked at, afflicted in body and mind, if Christs Followers be not? |
A41202 | Are all Apostles? |
A41202 | But to the Argument, For what reason could they be called one Church? |
A41202 | But whom say ye that I am? |
A41202 | Do not undervalue any Truth, say of no Truth as Lot said of Zoar,( is it not a little one?) |
A41202 | Have any of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A41202 | Have any of the Rulers( say they) or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A41202 | How little stuff to rouze up or work upon the dead drouzie secure Conscience? |
A41202 | How long time would it take to inform People about the Circumstances of things? |
A41202 | How much of our precious time is spent in vain jangling, by which our Heart can not but ● e made worse? |
A41202 | How tedious would it be to hear every mans judgment to the point? |
A41202 | Is it not a Feast of Fat things? |
A41202 | Is not Christ perfect in all his House as well as Moses? |
A41202 | Is not the Church a mixed multitude now, as well as then? |
A41202 | Is not the Church now a feild of Wheat and Tares as well as then? |
A41202 | Is there not need now to suppress sin as well as then? |
A41202 | Is there not need to keep the Ordinances pure now, as then, by the fence of Government? |
A41202 | Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? |
A41202 | Now from whence come these divisions contrary to the right Doctrine? |
A41202 | Should it be according to thy mind? |
A41202 | So Matth: 16. we see the Apostles practise, Christ sayes unto them, whom say they that I am? |
A41202 | The down- bearing of Sin? |
A41202 | The growth of Piety? |
A41202 | There must be Heresies among you, And wherefore? |
A41202 | Think ye that he will sit with it? |
A41202 | Thirdly, By these Divisions ye may discover much evil in your spirit that was before undiscovered, what a deal of Pride, not enduring to be opposed? |
A41202 | To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices unto me? |
A41202 | Touch not, Taste not, Handle not; which all are to perish with the using after the Commandments and Doctrines of Men? |
A41202 | Try your selves by this, What it is that makes you Glad, Is it the thriving of Gods work in Souls? |
A41202 | Vnto the twelve( when many of his Disciples went back and walked no more with him) will ye also go away? |
A41202 | What Carnal Emulation at the good of others? |
A41202 | What eagerness of spirit in the pursuit of things of little worth, when more excellent are neglected? |
A41202 | What fairer pretences than that they are Doctrines taught by the Spirit of God? |
A41202 | What have there not been, and yet are, Hereticks who pretend Conscience for the vilest villanies of the World? |
A41202 | What rejoying at their slips? |
A41202 | What then must he do? |
A41202 | What violent Eruptions of unmortified nature, bending after courses unwarrantable for making of our Point good, except Grace did bear them down? |
A41202 | Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the Rudiments of the World: Why as though living in the World, are ye subject to Ordinances? |
A41202 | Whereupon v. 18. he breaks out, What then? |
A41202 | are all Prophets? |
A41202 | are all Teachers? |
A41202 | how little Food is there in such like work for hungry exercised Souls? |
A41202 | is there not as great need to separate betwixt the precious and the vile now, as then? |
A41202 | — Art thou he that should come, or look we for another? |
A45328 | & c. how shall they, whose mouthes, hearts, hands, are full of sin and filthiness, be admitted, or accepted under the Gospel? |
A45328 | 7. Who goeth a Warfare at any time at his own Charges? |
A45328 | 8. where he proves, that he doth not onely confirm his Position by humane Arguments and Examples, but by the Law of God also; Say I these as a man? |
A45328 | ? |
A45328 | All things are common amongst friends? |
A45328 | And does not this sad condition call for A ● istry of Reconciliation? |
A45328 | And if the wise God thought this way the best to maintain his Ministers, who shall reprove him? |
A45328 | And if they say, true men shall be taught of the Lord, but it shall be by the means of men, then why are not we as fit to teach as they? |
A45328 | And so consequently what is the sust ● ntation, and nourishment of the body, to that of the soul? |
A45328 | And what good commander is thers, but will encourage, vindicate, embolden, and reward his faithfull Souldiers in and for their faithfull service? |
A45328 | Are these the fruits of so much patience and love? |
A45328 | Are these the returns of so many incomes from above? |
A45328 | As if he had said, can any one be delighted with meat that has not been seasoned with salt? |
A45328 | Behold the salve? |
A45328 | Behold the ● ore? |
A45328 | Degenerate Ministers are hardly cured; for what remains with which they may be restored and seasoned? |
A45328 | Do I fortifie my cause with humane reason and examples onely? |
A45328 | Do not poor means make poor Ministers? |
A45328 | Do we thus require the Lord, a people foolish and unwise? |
A45328 | Do wretched and godlesse men deprive and defraud us of temporall rewards? |
A45328 | Doth any one curse him? |
A45328 | Egyptians? |
A45328 | For how can a man be more glorious, then by being made the glory of Christ? |
A45328 | For so says the test, when they heard this, they sayd, Men and Brethen, what shall we doe? |
A45328 | For what end? |
A45328 | For what man will forsake, the plowmen, the Shepheards, the Stewards, which himself sets a work? |
A45328 | For, VVho goeth to warre at his own charges? |
A45328 | For, who almost would be so bold, as to tax the vices, or reprove the corrupt manners of those, from whom they received dayly gratuities? |
A45328 | Hath not the poverty of Clergy- men begotten ignorance, and ignorance brought forth contempt? |
A45328 | He fell on this face, and said, Art thou that my Lord Elisah? |
A45328 | He was unwearied in his doing, and invincible in his su ● fering: How many Cities and Countreys did he enlighten with the Go ● pel? |
A45328 | How can they be popish, which were paid thousands of years before any such beast as a Pope did spring up? |
A45328 | How shall be teach well that lives ill; or season others, who is himself altogether unsavoury? |
A45328 | How shall he spare the haters and despisers both of his Ministers and Ministry? |
A45328 | How shall they preach except they be sent? |
A45328 | If stipends be given to the bad, why not much rather to the good? |
A45328 | If the false Apostles and Seducers, who devour you, receive things necessary, then, why may not we who propagate the Gospel of Christ? |
A45328 | Is not God allwayes like himself? |
A45328 | Is there no God, but in the still voice of your spirituall conceivements and Revelations now adayes? |
A45328 | Is there no light in the Word of God? |
A45328 | Let there be found out a more sufficient and certain and honourable maintenance, and who will contend for Tythes? |
A45328 | Loe here the usefullnesse and necessity of a Gospell- Ministry? |
A45328 | Now what is either more profitable or more pleasant than light? |
A45328 | Oh that some Hercules will oppose himself to this many headed Monster? |
A45328 | Or any thing please a judicious palate that is unseasoned? |
A45328 | Or who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk of the flock? |
A45328 | Or, saith not the ● aw the same also? |
A45328 | Shall Clodius condemn Adulterie; Or Catiline Cethegus, worse then hee? |
A45328 | Shall not the like causes produce the like effect? |
A45328 | The Proposition is indefinite, and that is as large as an universal one, should live, but how? |
A45328 | They that fear the hatred, or reproaches of the world, will ● oon faint, and flagge? |
A45328 | Thou that abhorrest Idols, committest thou Sacriledge? |
A45328 | Thou that abhorrest false Gods, doest thou rob the true one, which is worse? |
A45328 | Thus give unto them double honour, that is, honour them fully and freely? |
A45328 | To what purpose are all these Names, and honourable Titles, if there be no such Order, as Ministers, in the Church? |
A45328 | VVhat is the cha ● ● e to the wheat? |
A45328 | VVho goeth a warfare at his own charges? |
A45328 | VVill a man rob God? |
A45328 | What are false Prophecies to the truth of God? |
A45328 | Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit of it? |
A45328 | Who will teach them for nought? |
A45328 | Why stand ye gazing up into heaven for new discoveries? |
A45328 | and yet, if the beauty of their feet must have an admiration borrowed to express them, by what shall we express the beauty of their faces? |
A45328 | eternal things excell fading, flitting, perishing, transitory vani ● ies? |
A45328 | how could the beauty of them be exprest more fully, than by such an elegant particle of admiration? |
A45328 | or, whether are your eyes out that ye can not receive it? |
A45328 | they may drag any soul to hell with themselves: What weeds of Heresie do they plant? |
A45328 | what more heavy doome shall they undergoe, that scorn, contemn, reproach the Ministers of Christ? |
A45328 | what seeds of discord do they sowe? |
A45328 | what stones of stumbling do they lay? |
A25208 | A ● now, Dear Sir, what are your Thoughts? |
A25208 | And for the other Expression; Christ''s undertaking answer for them the Obligations of the Law of Works: Is at left out too? |
A25208 | And how long will that c ● ● tent you? |
A25208 | And to what end does he thus needlesly multiply Terms of Art without any apparent necessity, that the Controversy has of''em? |
A25208 | And what if these Words[ in our place and stead] do not with many now a days signify a Surrogation? |
A25208 | Ay, but there is more at the Bottom what is that? |
A25208 | Bu ● are we not brought to a sine pass? |
A25208 | But did he never hear or read of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; a Gift and no Gift? |
A25208 | But have these Modern Innovators usurp''d this Priviledge, to impose an heterodox Meaning upon sound Words? |
A25208 | But to any Brother is really hard: For in what Sense must he interpret Brother? |
A25208 | But to whom must he give this Satisfaction? |
A25208 | But what will satisfy? |
A25208 | But what would they have this poor Man do? |
A25208 | But will you see with your own Eyes how these Gentlemen were satisfied, and how gladly they embraced the first Paper? |
A25208 | By what Right do these Gentlemen impose such hard Terms of Union and Communion? |
A25208 | Can the ● nemy any more sow his Tares in the Field amongst t ● good Grain? |
A25208 | Do you think they can not give a false Construction of that too? |
A25208 | Does it import that all Sinners are united, and are to be supposed, conceived, considered as one Person? |
A25208 | For Socinus and Crellius, will grant there was such a Change of Persons; and what will they do now? |
A25208 | How far must this Satisfaction extend? |
A25208 | How far? |
A25208 | I answer: ● ho can tell that, till they shall tell us, what a proper ● hange of Persons in a legal sense, does signify its own self? |
A25208 | I think therefore we ought in the first place to inquire what they mean by the Person of Sinners? |
A25208 | I would ask this modest Question: Where has this Doctrine of Justification been setled all this while, since the Reformation? |
A25208 | In a Word therefore; The Socinians are Subtle, and have put a false Gloss upon Christ''s dying in our stead; shall we therefore discharge that Phrase? |
A25208 | It is here then acknowledged, that these Word ● of Mr. Williams''s are sound and orthodox,; and wha ● would these unreasonable Men have him do? |
A25208 | Mather? |
A25208 | Must a Man stand in the Pillory all his Days, there to be palted with rotten Eggs, till they can find no more to throw at him? |
A25208 | Now the Manuscript 〈 ◊ 〉 the Report answers:( 1) That our modern Innovators( does he mean them ● lves?) |
A25208 | Now what is their parallel betwee ● this Suffect ● s Consul; and our blessed Lord Jesus, as surrgated and placed in the room of Sinners? |
A25208 | Pray, Sir, inform me Quo Warranto? |
A25208 | Quae unquam Latinitas sic Locuta est? |
A25208 | Quid in Personâ Regis? |
A25208 | Sin it self? |
A25208 | Tell me freely, what do you think of that strange Spirit that runs through the whole of the Report, and Manuscript? |
A25208 | That he was Personatus Histrio? |
A25208 | Then again I beseech you t ● us what that is? |
A25208 | To any thing else, excepted against in the rest of his Writings? |
A25208 | Turn ye, turn ye; why will ye die? |
A25208 | W ● is it I beseech you? |
A25208 | Was ever a poor Creature thus tyed to a Stake to be baited by the English Molossi, and every whaffing Whelp that could bark, though not bite? |
A25208 | We are Sin; and under a Curse: can you with a ● your Penetration, divine the Reason, why it''s said, w ● are Sin? |
A25208 | What if cavilling and captious? |
A25208 | What is it they expect Mr. Williams should give? |
A25208 | What is ● e nice difference then between Christ''s answering for 〈 ◊ 〉 Violation of the Law, and answering for us the Viola ● on? |
A25208 | What other Remedy ● ill you advise us to? |
A25208 | What then can these Expressions signify, but that Christ wore the Mask, the Vizor, the Disguise of Sinners? |
A25208 | Whether there be a Change of Person between Christ and the Elect? |
A25208 | Whether therefore it be not equally a Duty to ● oviate the De ● estable Doctrines of the one as well as ● e other? |
A25208 | Why does not he own a Change, and yet deny a Change? |
A25208 | Will not the Brethren hereafter take mo ● care of taking and giving Offences? |
A25208 | Will that content you which was co ● ● piled by the Assembly at Westminster? |
A25208 | Will the A ● ● cle of Satisfaction as propounded by the Church of E ● ● land, please you? |
A25208 | Will then that of the Brethren at 〈 ◊ 〉 Savoy satisfy you? |
A25208 | Will they acquiesce? |
A25208 | Will they n ● henceforth watch lest any Root of Bitterness shou ● spring up, and give''em Trouble? |
A25208 | Yes; Hith ● what shall be hereafter, who can divine? |
A25208 | again we are told, p. 7. of Christ''s sustaining the Person of Sinners: Now, good Sir, what is sustinere Personam alterius? |
A25208 | and not a Word put in their Place, that peculiar to a proper Satisfaction? |
A25208 | and so Christ died, suffered, satisfied for that one Person? |
A25208 | and then qualify them with a sound Meaning? |
A25208 | are not these to be reckon''d in the Number of the most Learned of that Party? |
A25208 | ask him, if he means that Christ suffered in our stead as a Sacrifice to satisfy God''s Iustice? |
A25208 | do they express any embracing of Communion with one another? |
A25208 | dying in the Person of Sinners? |
A25208 | has it hung, like Mahomet''s Tomb, in ● he Air? |
A25208 | how can Mr. Williams help that? |
A25208 | how shal ● he speak to please them? |
A25208 | must he use heterodox Term ● and Phrases? |
A25208 | or floated, like the Ark, upon the Water? |
A25208 | since the purest Primo- Primitive Times? |
A25208 | so have they put a false one upon Commutation of Persons; shall we therefore by the same Reason discharge that also? |
A25208 | what a huge Opinion have these Men of ● he vast extent of their Intellectuals? |
A25208 | what do you think of it? |
A25208 | why do they not, why hav ● they not long since cleared it? |
A25208 | why truly to any Brother? |
A25208 | will they allow him to hold his Liberty of Writing by no other Tenure than than that of Villanage? |
A25208 | yea, or between Christ and Believers? |
A66431 | & c. If they did well, the Question is,( as it''s in the Discourse) On what Right that Oath is founded? |
A66431 | & c. What can it be then less than Perjury and Apostacy to give any Countenance to such an open Violation of this Law? |
A66431 | 2. Who shall be the Judg? |
A66431 | 3. Who shall be the Judg? |
A66431 | After this manner: For, had not God by his own Law setled the Government amongst them? |
A66431 | And how would the People justifie their Separation with the Ministers, upon whom no such Obligations were laid, as on the Ministers? |
A66431 | And may not all this be done, and the Fifth Commandment stand in its full force? |
A66431 | And then the Question should be put, not who is the Judg, but whether there is any Judg? |
A66431 | And then whether for the exercise of his Ministry, he may and is obliged to set up and maintain a separate Communion? |
A66431 | And where was the Ecclesiastical Crime he was charg''d with? |
A66431 | And will they interdict themselves its Communion, and break it in pieces, because they are thus injured, as they suppose? |
A66431 | As now it will be asked, Wherein doth the Discourse misrepresent the case of the Jews? |
A66431 | But are they Deprived by any Canons, or Canonical Censures of the Church? |
A66431 | But how shall we know when it really is so, and when so in pretence? |
A66431 | But to return to our Author, suppose the case be as he represents it, how comes this to necessitate a Schism with us? |
A66431 | But to return to the Point, What, saith he, doth this want of being make a condition of Communion to us, quatenus Ministers? |
A66431 | But where''s the Heresie? |
A66431 | But who shall be the Judg, that is again, by way of Remedy? |
A66431 | But why should that Author be obliged thus to have told us? |
A66431 | Can a Prince take away what he can not give? |
A66431 | For are those Diocesses and Clergy, who have their Bishops, equally involved in the same case with those that are deprived of theirs? |
A66431 | For is he so obliged, that rather than not officiate, he may and ought to break off from Communion with the Church? |
A66431 | For the Dispute is not, Whether an Oath be lawful or not? |
A66431 | For what made Custom, Law and Constitution, but the Publick Good? |
A66431 | For what reason would there have been for the Ministers Separation, if the Oaths had not been required of them? |
A66431 | Grascome, Samuel, 1641- 1708? |
A66431 | Had he any Right to the Empire? |
A66431 | If in paying Tribute, why not in solemn promising to pay it? |
A66431 | If that be the Consequence, what becomes of Nehemiah who served as Governour under Artaxerxes? |
A66431 | Is it because these venerable Persons stand deprived? |
A66431 | Is not the Deposition of a Bishop a Spiritual Censure? |
A66431 | May Persons when grieved by the Secular Power, and deprived of their Livelihoods by an Act of Parliament, revenge it upon the Church? |
A66431 | No Mean, but to let the Father cut the Throat of his Children, or that the Children must cut the Throat of their Father? |
A66431 | Now I answer with Mason, Where was the Act of the Church, in the Deposition of Abiathar? |
A66431 | Or why must it necessitate a Schism, when the Metropolitan and Bishops deprived, declare their Aversion to any such Separation? |
A66431 | Or, did not the Senate and People swear to him at last, though he was in the Throne before, and a notorious Usurper of it? |
A66431 | Or, did they notwithstanding, not submit to Alexander, and enter into his Service, and transfer their Allegiance to him? |
A66431 | Or, who shall judg what''s fit to de done in such a case, by way of Remedy? |
A66431 | This is a tender Point, and what he durst not touch upon: For grant that they had cause to separate, yet what would they do without a People? |
A66431 | Though there be this obligation laid upon Ministers, yet what is this Political Security required of them, to their Communion with the Church? |
A66431 | Thus far then we may go, we may swear to pay Tribute; but on what account? |
A66431 | To the second, he gives a spiteful return: But is then a Case of Conscience really so trivial a thing? |
A66431 | Vn Bishop and Vn- Priest men? |
A66431 | Was it that Darius was any other than a de factó King over them? |
A66431 | What is the publick Good? |
A66431 | What is this publick Good? |
A66431 | What now becomes of Succession? |
A66431 | What of Jaddus and the Jews of his time with their Oath of Fidelity to Darius? |
A66431 | What thinks he of the Oath of Jaddus to Darius, when yet he went over to Alexander? |
A66431 | What thinks he of the Obligation to the Senate, as to the present Case? |
A66431 | Where again doth the Discourse misrepresent the Case of Tiberius? |
A66431 | Whether Ordination obliges such an one to the actual exercise of his Office, when forbid by the Magistrate? |
A66431 | Whether a Refusal to give Security to the Secular Power for a peaceable behaviour, and Obedience, by Oath, may not be a sufficient reason? |
A66431 | Whether there be any reason for those Scruples about the Oaths? |
A66431 | Who would not pity this Writer of Controversy that can not see into the Connexion of an Argument for ten lines backward or forward? |
A66431 | Why must this necessitate a Schism to all? |
A66431 | as a Duty owing on the account of Protection? |
A66431 | but, Whether this present Oath be so? |
A66431 | how therefore can it be ascribed to Secular Powers? |
A66431 | in calling God to witness that I do it? |
A66431 | or had he at first any other Title than from the Pretorian Band and Legions? |
A66431 | or that they did not swear Allegiance to him as long as he lived? |
A66431 | that is, Either who shall Judg when the Publick Good is invaded, and when the Laws, Customs and Constitutions, are violated? |
A66431 | where are any of all these Crimes, for which these our Bishops merit Deposition; or what just Censure of the Church hath pass''d upon them? |
A65867 | ( George) Do we not wear our Cl ● thes on our Bodies? |
A65867 | 1, 8. this was God''s own Testimony of him to Satan; to which Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? |
A65867 | Again, some object, That God hath Mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardneth; Hath not the Potter power over the Clay? |
A65867 | And as for his having power over the works of his hands, as the Potter hath over the Clay; who questions that? |
A65867 | And asked these Priests, what Baptism it was? |
A65867 | And the Lord said unto Cain, why art thou wroth? |
A65867 | And then his last Question was, Whether the Lords Supper be not an Ordinance of Christ, binding us? |
A65867 | And whatsoever may be known of God, is it not manifest within? |
A65867 | And, oh Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayst be saved; how long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? |
A65867 | Are you like to receive his teachings in the darkness? |
A65867 | But, we pray you, how should you know and receive Gods teachings or leading into all Truth, if not by his Light within? |
A65867 | Hear, O House of Israel, Is not my Way equal? |
A65867 | Moreover, to these Questions before S. S. added three more; as in the first place, Whether the Scriptures are not to be our Rule of Life? |
A65867 | Query, Whether or no wilt thou grant the same thing that S. Scandret hath done; viz ▪ that a Light of the Spirit of God is in every man? |
A65867 | Reply, Did you ever read or hear such Doctrine before? |
A65867 | Reply, Was not its appearance Spiritual, how then did it appear to all, and not in all? |
A65867 | Reply, What then did he hate Esau for? |
A65867 | S. S. A justified state is attended with Sanctification; what Righteousness is that which justifies? |
A65867 | S. S. Did not God require more of Adam then the Light did dictate? |
A65867 | S. S. This doth not prove that the Light doth reveal Christ; Is this Grace( that hath appeared to all) the Light in every man? |
A65867 | S. S. This is not a full Light,& c. for God created the Stars, which are a Light; Must they therefore be the full Light of the Day& c? |
A65867 | S. S. Who affirms they are? |
A65867 | Secondly, Whether Perfection be attainable in this life? |
A65867 | So that here the Light is the Rule to manifest and try mens actions, whether they are wrought in God, yes or nay? |
A65867 | Thirdly, Whether impure persons( while such) be justified by the imputation of Christ''s Righteousness? |
A65867 | V. Now concerning Justification, the question being asked, what it is? |
A65867 | Was not the Spirit, the Law and Light of the Lord within? |
A65867 | Was not their Rule within, and the Revelation of the things contained in Scripture inward, before they were written? |
A65867 | We will appeal to the people, whether any of them can say, when they are reproved of sin, that they are not convinced of a contrary sta ● e? |
A65867 | What then will become of all them that never came under it: Must they all be damned for want of Sprinkling or Plunging in Water? |
A65867 | Whether Baptism with water be an Ordinance of Christ? |
A65867 | Who would come over the threshold to Discourse with such a one? |
A65867 | Wo unto him that sayeth unto his Father, what begettest thou,& c? |
A65867 | and what do they tend to? |
A65867 | and what is the good end of God in affording this Light of his Spirit to all, and such operations in unbelievers? |
A65867 | and whether the Day dawning, and the Day- Star arising in the hearts be the Scriptures? |
A65867 | and why is thy Countenance faln? |
A65867 | are not your wayes unequal? |
A65867 | but how long it is between death and this time of clensing? |
A65867 | but must not the Body be subject to the Spirit, seeing Believers are to be sanctified throughout, in Body, Soul and Spirit? |
A65867 | for when G. W. in a Letter would have put him to prove his call to the Ministry; and whether he own''d immediate Revelation in these dayes? |
A65867 | hast not thou made an Hedge about him,& c? |
A65867 | if thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A65867 | is he not among them that searched the Scriptures to find Eternal Life in them, but would not come to Christ that they might have Life? |
A65867 | is not this like the Pope''s Doctrine for a Purgatory? |
A65867 | must they pin it upon their sleeves? |
A65867 | must they turn their backs on the Light of Christ within, to be captivated with the Popes and Priests darkness, with their dark and implicite faith? |
A65867 | or by turning your backs on the Light? |
A65867 | or that his Commands should be made void? |
A65867 | or whether he were a true administrator of it? |
A65867 | or whether or no professed Christians in England must be inferiour to the Gentiles or Heathen? |
A65867 | or whether the Saints deceased are yet clensed, yes or nay? |
A65867 | or will you deny it? |
A65867 | were it not an impertinent vain thing, to warn persons of such a danger, if they were absolutely secured from being liable to any such danger? |
A65867 | were they not from the Light within? |
A65867 | what, doth he render man like a Block, or a Beast, not to go or act in obedience or subjection, but as he is forc''d or driven? |
A65867 | whether that of Water, or the Baptism of the Spirit? |
A65867 | which he affirmed, though he durst not tell us whether Babes or Believers were to be the Subjects of it? |
A62675 | 13. where it''s said, Rulers are not a Terror to good Works, but to the Evil: Wilt thou not be afraid of the Powers? |
A62675 | And are they not in one half of Germany Papists, in the other Protestants? |
A62675 | And have not the Priests of the different Parties, as occasion served, enlarged their Pretences? |
A62675 | And have they not done this, by granting a Toleration, and by refusing a Bill for restraining the Liberty of the Press? |
A62675 | And if so great a Person could be so easily wrought on, who can be secure when he lieth under constant Temptations? |
A62675 | And would not he be justly enraged at his return to see them, for doing this, beaten and abused by their Fellow- Subjects? |
A62675 | Are they not in Italy, and in all the Dominions of Spain, zealous and thorow Roman- Catholicks? |
A62675 | But here I must demand, Who shall judg whether what the Clergy thus determine, be either adding, changing, or diminishing the Law of God? |
A62675 | But how can Force, in the Hands of Men as liable to be mistaken as those they use it on, contribute to hinder Mens falling into Error? |
A62675 | But how can the Magistrate, by becoming subject to Christ''s Laws, have a Right to oblige his Subjects to act directly against them? |
A62675 | But how could he oppose it otherwise than by not calling them to sit and act, which our Author says by his Coronation- Oath he is bound to do? |
A62675 | But how shall we judg and try? |
A62675 | But what Right of his Neighbour''s does any Man invade? |
A62675 | But what is more opposite to these, than to tempt Men to make themselves miserable hereafter, to avoid being so here? |
A62675 | But where will not some Mens Spleen and Revenge carry them? |
A62675 | But where will the Magistrate, using Force, prevent Errors? |
A62675 | For either they must continue all their Lives under Persecution,( which who can support?) |
A62675 | If he dares not say he will prostitute his Belief at so vile a Rate, Why should he suppose others either should or would do so? |
A62675 | If the first, why are there so many of the Erroneous exempted even from the least Punishment? |
A62675 | If the last, why are not all exempted? |
A62675 | If they own they ought to hear them, why not the opposite Side? |
A62675 | In Denmark and Sweedland Lutherans, in the Alps Calvinists,& c.? |
A62675 | In France Catholicks, tho with reserve to the Liberties of the Gallican Church, and the Regalities? |
A62675 | In a word; Can Men oppress, ruin and kill for God''s sake, and destroy all moral Honesty on pretence of Religion? |
A62675 | Or rather are they not whatever that absolute King will have them to be, as we see by their acting with the See of Rome? |
A62675 | The Author demands, Why are the Clergy called to a Convocation, if when they come they are not to act? |
A62675 | The next Age will not believe a Religion revealed by Heaven, except the Convocation make such a Declaration? |
A62675 | Therefore may it not be feared, that instead of the French King being made an Example of God''s Anger, he may be made an Instrument to punish others? |
A62675 | To which I answer, That bare differences of Opinions do not cause them; for what two Men, even of the same Communion, agree in all Points of Divinity? |
A62675 | What can be more absurd, than that in judging of these matters wherein we differ from Brutes, we should be subject to brutal Force? |
A62675 | Who was more ready to lay down his Life for our Saviour, than St. Peter? |
A62675 | Why may not I go, if occasion requires, to an Arian Church, so there be no Arianism expressed in their Liturgy? |
A62675 | must he not at last come to capital Punishments, except he will see God continually dishonoured? |
A62675 | not only of the present, but of succeeding Generations? |
A62675 | or what Injury or Injustice does he do him, in worshipping God according to that Method he judgeth best for the saving his own Soul? |
A62675 | so that here''s no room for Clemency: For how can the Life of a Man counterpoise the loss of a Soul? |
A30624 | 10. a Qui estis vos& unde venissis? |
A30624 | A Pandora''s Box, from whence all sorts of mischievous and foul poysoning Opinions may fly out, and that without Remedy? |
A30624 | Alas, will God leave us also, even to the Obdurateness of Pharaoh? |
A30624 | And did no Body knew wherein it did consist? |
A30624 | And did none of them discover what it was? |
A30624 | And do we not feel it? |
A30624 | And hath any just cause been given you of breaking off your selves from it? |
A30624 | And if this seems decent and respectful, Offer the like to your Governour: Will he be pleased with it, or accept your Persons? |
A30624 | And if ye offer the Lame and Sick, is it not Evil? |
A30624 | And might these be Innocent all the while? |
A30624 | And must it not be pernicious to Christ''s Visible Kingdom? |
A30624 | And now the Question is, Whether the Supream, or Inferiour Presbyters, Ordained Timothy? |
A30624 | And says the same Apostle, The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ? |
A30624 | And since the last are not excluded, the Question is, Whether this justifies your Separation? |
A30624 | And that they hear him with Heart- rising Enmity, or Suspicion, that doth declaim against them? |
A30624 | And what shall he be esteem''d, who intrudes himself into the highest Trust that any Creature is capable of, in the Name of Christ? |
A30624 | And who gave thee this Authority? |
A30624 | And would you see the open Enemies of Religion, forced into their lurking holes, or flying into their Retreats of Darkness? |
A30624 | And, according to their own Principles, they may fitly speak to You, in these Words of Elijah; How long halt ye between two Opinions? |
A30624 | Are the Scriptures so plain in their Directions about things that are necessary either to be done or avoided? |
A30624 | Are they not broken into many Sects? |
A30624 | Are they not ready to devour one another? |
A30624 | Are you not Self- condemn''d by such contrary Practices? |
A30624 | But can you really believe, that one would do you wrong, if he made a small Rent in your Garment, and none if he should tear it in pieces? |
A30624 | But do you find any such Language, or any such thing in Scripture? |
A30624 | But if this be admitted, doth it at all mend the matter? |
A30624 | But if you would lay down your Life for Christ, wherefore do ye lay waste the Church for which Christ died? |
A30624 | But is Schism a Sin? |
A30624 | But is there any Precept for this in Scripture? |
A30624 | But were all Apostles, or Bishops? |
A30624 | But what Affinity is there between Schism and Immorality, or how is the last of these a Consequence of the former? |
A30624 | But what hath the Law done for the Scrupulous? |
A30624 | Can a Member live that is cut off from the Body, or a Branch that is separated from the Tree? |
A30624 | Can any Man forbid them to partake of the Lord''s Supper, when their demand of it is regular? |
A30624 | Can they imagine that Christ is with them, when they are Assembled out of his Church? |
A30624 | Can you imagine that mere Presbyters can Ordain an Evangelist, whose Office was so much Exalted above their own? |
A30624 | Can you imagine, that a Mutiny begun in a Camp, or Kingdom, is Seditious; and that an open Revolt is not so? |
A30624 | De quo mari emersit? |
A30624 | Did the Ancient Fathers speak such terrible things against it, and none of them understand what they said? |
A30624 | Did they make no doubt to lay it to the Charge of the Novations and Donatists? |
A30624 | Do not ye see, how all the Affairs of the Christians are fill''d with Vain- glory? |
A30624 | Do we not know it? |
A30624 | Doth he say, That their Constitution was dissolv''d, and they were no longer a Church? |
A30624 | For if that be so, why are they not with us? |
A30624 | For instance, Are they here admitted to Visible Communion in Publick Acts of Worship? |
A30624 | For tell me, I pray you, wherefore would you suffer Martyrdom? |
A30624 | For what end was it that they must receive one another? |
A30624 | From which of the Heavens was he dropt? |
A30624 | How Ambition and Deceit dwell amongst them? |
A30624 | How pathetick, how moving is his Language here? |
A30624 | If they upbraid us with Heresies, what will they not speak of these things? |
A30624 | If ye offer the Blind for Sacrifice, is it not Evil? |
A30624 | If you please to consult your Teachers, and demand of them, Whether you may: not return to us? |
A30624 | If, say they, these Men have the same Opinions; if they have the same Mysteries, why does one thus leap into the place of another? |
A30624 | Is it a thing, even in the Confession of Dr. Owen himself, That being unrepented of, will ruine a Man''s Eternal c Condition? |
A30624 | Is it not an Idol? |
A30624 | Is it not for the Glory of Christ? |
A30624 | Is it to us, even to us a Crime intolerable, to call us to Repentance? |
A30624 | Is not this a plain Breach of the Apostolical Rule? |
A30624 | Is there not Crying Sin with us? |
A30624 | Might not the People say, What need Paul leave Titus to do that which we can do our selves? |
A30624 | Now here was a very sad Face of Affairs: And what Remedy doth the Apostle apply on this occasion? |
A30624 | O what a Mercy is it for every Christian, that is unable to help himself, to have the help of all the Church of God? |
A30624 | Offer it now to thy Governour, will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy Person? |
A30624 | Or can the Divisions which you have made proceed from that One Spirit, whose Unity is to be kept in the Bond of Peace? |
A30624 | Or can ye be ignorant that they also perished that were with them? |
A30624 | Or doth he say, That the better part should desert the worse, and make up a Church by themselves, consisting only of Visible Saints? |
A30624 | Or if none can be found, is it not against the Second Commandment? |
A30624 | Or may not the same reason bring you back to them? |
A30624 | Or was Conformity then a Duty, and is it now become a Sin? |
A30624 | Or which of us does most appear to discern the Lord''s Body? |
A30624 | Or, would it not be destructive of any Society whatsoever? |
A30624 | Out of what Sea did he arise? |
A30624 | St. Peter said of the Gentile Converts, Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be Baptized? |
A30624 | That he would be injurious if be Wounded your Hand, and Innocent if he cut it off? |
A30624 | The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? |
A30624 | The Doctor of the Gentiles saith, If an Heathen come in and hear you speak with several Tongues, will he not say that you are mad? |
A30624 | To what purpose, add they, did Paul aud Barnabas 〈 ◊ 〉 from place to place to Ordain Elders? |
A30624 | Was your Communion with it lately Lawful, and have any New Terms been added, to make it cease to be so? |
A30624 | Were all Christians careful to avoid it under the Peril of their Souls? |
A30624 | Were all Pastors and Teachers? |
A30624 | What Example have they for it, either in Scripture, or out of Scripture, in any part of the Catholick Church? |
A30624 | What Right can you then have to establish Independent Congregations, or to set up one Congregation against another, in the same City? |
A30624 | What Sacrifices do they believe, they offer, when they contend with the Priests? |
A30624 | What profit is there of other things, if due care be not taken for This? |
A30624 | Where is their Mutual Love, and the promised Peace? |
A30624 | Where is their Unanimity and Harmony of Affections? |
A30624 | Wherefore then do you say their Faith is the same with ours, and they are Orthodox? |
A30624 | Which Opinion then shall I prefer? |
A30624 | Which shall I chuse? |
A30624 | Who ever saw, or read, says Salmasius, a that they who were to have Extraordinary Power, were delegated by those who had no more than Ordinary? |
A30624 | Why was Titus left in Crete, to appoint Elders in every City? |
A30624 | Would such a Practice be tolerable any where? |
A30624 | Would you blast the Honour of our English Reformation, and give Pros ● lytes to the Church of Rome? |
A30624 | Would you bring the Kingdom of Christ to Desolation, or are you willing to see the Ruine of his House? |
A30624 | Would you do what is highly beneficial to others, as well as Glorious and Happy for your selves? |
A30624 | Would you help to stem the Torrent of Profaneness, and drive it backwards? |
A30624 | Would you hinder the Unbelieving World from receiving the Gospel, or would you harden them in their Insidelity? |
A30624 | Would you hinder the progress of Error, or do what is proper to stop the Mouths of its Advocates? |
A30624 | Would you keep open a free passage for all Iniquity, and encourage Vice to appear abroad in great Pomp, without Shame, or Fear? |
A30624 | Yet if it were every way Pure and Apostolical, and the very same with that of the Conformists, Can this be a reason for your Desertion of them? |
A30624 | Yet let us suppose that you have amongst you better Praying and Preaching; Is there any thing wanting with us that is necessary to Salvation? |
A30624 | a But what Divine Precept, what Rule have they for this? |
A30624 | by W. R. c. 12. a De qua terra germinavit? |
A17912 | 5. Who are those Ecclesiasticall Officers, in the Church of England, which neither in name, nor in deed, are true, as he himself confesseth? |
A17912 | And are not those great and weighty things in question still? |
A17912 | And doth not this I pray ye soeme to be an honest way to get a Church- living, no such base and beggarly one, as you speake of? |
A17912 | And hence inferres separation, now what saith D. Ames to this? |
A17912 | And is not this a ground of separation? |
A17912 | And then turning to me, how durst you( said he) preach in my diocesse without my leave? |
A17912 | And why so? |
A17912 | And why? |
A17912 | Another saith: What Christian heart is so stony, that doth not mourne? |
A17912 | Are the Princes of the earth bound by Gods Lawes to mainetaine the ordinary ministery of your assemblies? |
A17912 | Are we so grosse when we say, Behold our Gods, as to think that they brought vs out of Egypt? |
A17912 | Besides, whome doe they take for greater enemies, then the Separatists? |
A17912 | But are they onely thus beggerlike in their ambitious suing for theyr promotions? |
A17912 | But he asketh, how we can prove, that these things are taught in their Churches? |
A17912 | But is not this currying of favour meere beggary? |
A17912 | But the Proverbe is here true, who so blind as he that will not see? |
A17912 | But to our purpose: If things be so, is not the ministery then of such men to be left? |
A17912 | But to the point in hand, is not here witt, to dispute by ifs& thoughs? |
A17912 | But what course take they about it? |
A17912 | Canne, John, d. 1667? |
A17912 | Canne, John, d. 1667? |
A17912 | Compassion towards the people constraineth many preachers to keepe their places: For if they should not, alas what would the people doe? |
A17912 | Doe wee not sufficiently finde it to bee true in experience? |
A17912 | Ephraim is joyned to idols, what were they? |
A17912 | For what if some have as much permission under the Papacie, is not their ministery then of Prelacy, Priesthood and Deaconry? |
A17912 | Have not some in the Church of Rome dispensations to have more cures then one? |
A17912 | He may thus say: If I be hungry I would not tel thee, that is, what need I thee, or any thing thou canst doe? |
A17912 | How is this answered? |
A17912 | How vnmeet is it that fleshly wisedome which is an enimie vnto God, should be a framer of his worship? |
A17912 | I may say to you, as David to the men of Iudah: Why are ye the last to bring home the King? |
A17912 | I will leave it in this place as a Quaere, Whether such as neither are, nor by law are bound to be such, are true Pastors or no? |
A17912 | If not, whether they be Apostles, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Elders? |
A17912 | If the true worship of God be prescribed, in the booke aforesaid, we demaund then in what part thereof the same is contained? |
A17912 | If these things be right why not the rest? |
A17912 | If they bring not a lawfull warrant of their calling, why should they be obeyed? |
A17912 | If they have, whether the thing be lawfull or no? |
A17912 | If this manner of arguing be good, what corruptions so abominable but may get contenance? |
A17912 | If you doe damne it as scandalous, or idolatrous, Why communicate you with bim? |
A17912 | If you say, what shall we doe for the hundred talents? |
A17912 | In the late Parliament, lawes were enacted severely against it; but what came of that? |
A17912 | Is it any whit a lesse ● ilt ● sy thing, to come to a Rectory, that is of Gods appointmēt, by favour, then by money? |
A17912 | Is not the whole land holy? |
A17912 | Is not this yea and nay? |
A17912 | Now I desire these seriouslie to consider, if they may lawfullie performe some religious duties against Human Lawes, why not others? |
A17912 | The like is the condition of Prebendaries, Archdeacons and Deanes, Nay are the Lord Bishops themselves cleare of this base beggery? |
A17912 | Their ministers have such ordinary ministeriall offices,& c. Why? |
A17912 | There are many hundred Priests in the Land, which have no particular places to serve in: Is their ministery therefore unlawfull? |
A17912 | Therefore it is no marvaile, when the question hath been propounded to some of them, as it was by the Pharises, to Iohn, Who art thou? |
A17912 | Were there not Cherubines in the Tabernacle and Temple, and twelve Oxen or Buls of brasse appointed by the wisest King? |
A17912 | What are those parts and parcells, in the booke of Common prayer, which is not the true worship of God, whereof he speaketh? |
A17912 | What be those Ecclesiastical Officers, which some true Churches in England, have these many yeares beene without, either all, o ● cheifest of them? |
A17912 | What if their Priests be not in all points answerable to their lawes, are they then members of a false Church? |
A17912 | What in all this was signifyed? |
A17912 | What is the true intent and meaning of these Lawes, and to whom doth it properly belong, to give the interpretation of them? |
A17912 | What meaneth then that continuall haunting of the Court, and banging vpon the Nobles? |
A17912 | What testimonie brings he for it? |
A17912 | What then, might not he therefore conclude any thing generally against the unlawfullnesse of their ministry? |
A17912 | What, if one hold, that the ministers of our particular congregations, are Pastors? |
A17912 | What, if one hold, they are not Pastors, but named only so, metaphorically, as Princes are so called? |
A17912 | When Moyses stood crying at the red sea, what saith God unto him? |
A17912 | Whether all the Parish Assemblies of England be true visible Churches or no? |
A17912 | Whether it be Lawfull, to have communion with the English Leiturgie, as it is ordinarily now used in their Churches? |
A17912 | Whether the office of Lecturers in the Ecclesiastical Assemblies of England, be not new, and strange from the scriptures? |
A17912 | Why doe they not stay and wayte, till they bee sent for? |
A17912 | Yea why are they not rather pulled away from their studyes against their wills? |
A17912 | Yes surely; now doe these speciall dispensations make the action lawfull? |
A17912 | among other, the new Preists which Ieroboam, ordained for the high places: what followes? |
A17912 | and lastly whether it were possible for a man to live so vprightlie, that by well doeing he might win heaven? |
A17912 | doe these make all the rest holie? |
A17912 | have the Pastors Office? |
A17912 | his office? |
A17912 | how shall we? |
A17912 | how sinne came into the world? |
A17912 | how vnprofitable is will worship; yea how abominable to add or alter the least circumstance in the worship of God? |
A17912 | if they sit not in Moyses chayr, why should they heare them? |
A17912 | is their service saying as bad as stage playing? |
A17912 | meant by a principle? |
A17912 | not Christ, but Belial,& c. If this be true, in what a fearefull case then, are the people of the Land? |
A17912 | not so; and why? |
A17912 | our wives and children be releeved? |
A17912 | p. 43 Every Officer must be Resident in his place, and why? |
A17912 | sow tares, or darnel, in his garden, plant thistles, or thornes, in his Orchard? |
A17912 | what becomes of our bodies, beeing rotten in the graves? |
A17912 | what eye so dry, that doth not shed teares? |
A17912 | what punishment for sinne? |
A69802 | Again, I had said, What were those Offices which you call erroneously Religious, were they Fasting and Prayers? |
A69802 | Again, there might be 50 Hearers, and for ought I know, 500 Hearers and Seers at one time or other: Must these be all Dissenters, and Accessaries? |
A69802 | Again, you are about it, and about it; and say, Hark my Friend, are not your Divisions Unchristian? |
A69802 | Altho'', Upon the severest Examination, as to his Morals, P. 11. of the Letter, Would he Accuse Himself? |
A69802 | Am I a Blasphemer? |
A69802 | Am I now bewildred? |
A69802 | And cast out Christ? |
A69802 | And is not their Missal and Breviary Idolatrous Worship? |
A69802 | And it was Queried; Where are you commanded, to Bow to the East? |
A69802 | And must not the words still have the same sence? |
A69802 | And now Dissenters say, the Cross is such a Humane Appointment; and how do you answer this? |
A69802 | And now Gentlemen, without Favour or Affection, Give in your Verdict, VVhether am I, or my Accuser, more Guilty of Blasphemy? |
A69802 | And what Contradiction in Terms, if they be called Humane Sacraments? |
A69802 | And what do you say? |
A69802 | And what is here to be Blamed, or what was here done tending to Popery? |
A69802 | And what of all this? |
A69802 | And what say you to this? |
A69802 | And what then? |
A69802 | And what then? |
A69802 | And when all''s done, how can you tell here was no Devil in the Case? |
A69802 | And where is their Fault? |
A69802 | And whose Tools were they? |
A69802 | Are they to be Blamed for their Fasting and Praying? |
A69802 | But are you not to blame, to call a Man a Thief, tho you bring no Instances; and the more faulty, if you can find none? |
A69802 | But did he Live quietly when he was a Dissenter, without Censure for his Sin? |
A69802 | But farther you say, Was not thus Praying for him, the best means to reclaim him from his false Worship? |
A69802 | But is this fair, to admit a Man to be Witness in his own Cause? |
A69802 | But pray''Friend what''s that to me, that Jews and Pagans blasphemously call Christ a Daemon; or the Worshipping of Christ, the Worshipping of Devils? |
A69802 | But pray''what are the other Five, which the Papists add? |
A69802 | But they Fasted and Pray''d, or Preach ● d, and what hurt in this? |
A69802 | But was this the best Means? |
A69802 | But what do they attest? |
A69802 | But what say you to this Scruple of Dissenters? |
A69802 | But what''s that to Dissenters? |
A69802 | But what''s this to their Argument? |
A69802 | But why did you ask this Question? |
A69802 | But, Am I become your Enemy, because I tell you the truth? |
A69802 | Did I ever call Christ a Daemon? |
A69802 | Did he not Preach at N. Chappel? |
A69802 | Did not David worship God acceptably on a Barn- Floor? |
A69802 | Did they use Popish Exorcisms, or Popish Ceremonies? |
A69802 | Do not your Conventicles make a Division? |
A69802 | Do they not worship God,& c. And was not this that True Worship we prayed God to keep him in? |
A69802 | Do you think that Jews and Pagans did rightly call Christ a Daemon? |
A69802 | Do you think this of yours, was the Sence of the first Composers of this Petition; that it might be Prayed for a Popish K. or Q? |
A69802 | Doth it not hence follow, that here was no Devil? |
A69802 | Doth not the Church of Rome Worship by their Breviary and Mass- Book, as the C. of E. by their Common Prayer, which they call Divine Service? |
A69802 | Doth this look like casting out the Devil? |
A69802 | Else, what a Gap would this open to an Inundation of Heathenish and Popish Rites, in the Worship of GOD, and all the Offices therein? |
A69802 | Farther, doth not he transgress a Rule or Canon, that goes beyond what''s commanded, as he that comes short? |
A69802 | For which you say, I have the Impertinence to ask, What Errours in Doctrine, looking that Way? |
A69802 | For why not Salt, Spittle, and Cream, and Chrisom in Baptism? |
A69802 | Friend, what''s this Cramp Question? |
A69802 | Good Sir, is the Worship of God any worse, because in a Barn? |
A69802 | How are they assisting? |
A69802 | However, doth Recriminating Justify him? |
A69802 | I could also ask you Questions; but why should we trouble our selves and others, with asking and answering impertinent Questions? |
A69802 | I endeavoured to Clear them from Sinful, Schismatical Divisions: And what say you to it? |
A69802 | I will yet tell you for once, seeing you ask it, Whether Fearing of Christ, may not be expounded by Jews and Pagans, Worshipping of Devils? |
A69802 | If it was not, to what end was it produced? |
A69802 | Is it Malice, who gave thee Authority to Judge Mens Hearts? |
A69802 | Is not one Reason, because they are but of Humane Institution? |
A69802 | Is the Pope a Papist? |
A69802 | Is there no Word in all your Book, nor one Place to prove the Charge? |
A69802 | Is this Satisfaction? |
A69802 | Let''s see then what the next Letter will do, for this is Small Game? |
A69802 | More than Matter? |
A69802 | Mr. T. Why may not I, betwixt you and me, call the Cross a Humane Sacrament? |
A69802 | Mr. T. are you here in earnest? |
A69802 | Nay Christ himself will come under Correction of Jews and Pagans, and Mr. T. for he cast out a Daemon: Did he cast out Himself? |
A69802 | Now Mr. T. are these things Signs of Repentance, and of an humble and broken Spirit? |
A69802 | Now Mr. T. if you did not reflect upon the Party, what means th ● se Expressions? |
A69802 | Now for this time, rather than fall out with you, I''ll answer you, The Papists do receive Wine in that Sacrament, unless the Priests be no Papists? |
A69802 | Now how do you shew this? |
A69802 | Now how should Dissenters please some Fools? |
A69802 | Now what say you now? |
A69802 | Or is this one of his Names? |
A69802 | Party importuning for him or Grey? |
A69802 | Pray''Mr. T. When was the Time, where was the Place, who was the Person, to whom I deny''d my Christian Name? |
A69802 | Pray''Sir, what is false? |
A69802 | Pray''Sir, will you tell me one thing; What''s that? |
A69802 | Pray''tell me,( this is mannerly) what you call them, that make God to be content with whatever comes next their Tongues- end? |
A69802 | Therefore, if you will, call it a Humane Appointment; and then, Is it lawful for any body to command things in the Worship of God, of the same nature? |
A69802 | To this you say, Is Popery such a mass of Idolatry, that there is no piece of true Worship in it? |
A69802 | To this you say, My Friend is bewildred,& c. and you ask me a very important Question, Do the Papists receive Wine in that Sacrament? |
A69802 | VVhat, have no Fellowship with Daemons? |
A69802 | VVhy Christ is a Daemon, and must we not have Fellowship with him? |
A69802 | VVould not this be an odd way to convert a Papist, by praying thus with him, and for him? |
A69802 | Was not this liker to harden him in his false Worship? |
A69802 | Was there not a Cause, was not the Crime open, notorious, scandalous; and yet no Matter? |
A69802 | Was this ingenuous? |
A69802 | Were your Publick Prayers then for him, Superstition? |
A69802 | What Impudence is this? |
A69802 | What are they to be Blamed for? |
A69802 | What is Crossing good for? |
A69802 | What say you to this Argument of Dissenters? |
A69802 | What, compare your self with Christ and his Apostles? |
A69802 | Where commanded to stand up at Te DEUM, Benedictus, Magnificat; or at Reading of Psalms? |
A69802 | Whereupon the K. sends his Armour to the Pope, and ordered this Question to be asked, Is this thy Son''s Coat? |
A69802 | Why not Crossing upon Crossing in all Parts of Divine Worship? |
A69802 | Why will you not admit them to be Sacraments? |
A69802 | Will this Supposition, which is not then true, make your Prayers Superstition? |
A69802 | Would not this be accounted a Crime of an high nature? |
A69802 | Would you not have Men to worship Daemons? |
A69802 | and Conformity, And what then? |
A69802 | and bouncing and racketing, Priest one Verse, and People another? |
A69802 | and strengthen them in the true worshipping? |
A69802 | and what signifies your Authorities? |
A69802 | if it be true; and is this all? |
A69802 | is this for Edification? |
A69802 | offer to cast a Daemon out of Dicky? |
A69802 | or before the Altar to make Curt''sies? |
A69802 | what''s all this to the Matter in Hand? |
A77642 | 1. how shall he judge those whom he never purchased with a price? |
A77642 | 17. of whom I demand what they think if David had dyed in the act of Adultery, or before his repentance? |
A77642 | 20. how much more they that despise the counsell of God and murmure against him? |
A77642 | 31. as the Apostles collection, and the result of all which he had spoken in the precedent part of the chapter, what shall we say then? |
A77642 | 4. Who then is excluded from the call of God, and to whom hath not his light shined? |
A77642 | 4. that God had not give them eyes to see, a heart to perceive, and ears to hear, unto this day? |
A77642 | 4. where the Lord enquires, What could have been done more to his Vineyard which he had not done for it? |
A77642 | And if any shall ask how men come to commit sin then? |
A77642 | And whereas it may be demanded, How it comes to pass that all serve not God in holiness? |
A77642 | But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousnesse, have not attained to the Law of righteousnesse; wherefore? |
A77642 | But can not men be left without excuse without the preaching of this Doctrine to them? |
A77642 | But can the grace of God be said to be free, when there is a condition of something to be done by us for the obtaining of it? |
A77642 | But is it not said that God did hate Esau and loved Jacob, before they had done either good or evill? |
A77642 | But some( it may be) will say, If Christ hath saved all men from the grave, how comes it to pass that any dye? |
A77642 | But that being true( as indeed it is) how can infants be visible Church- members? |
A77642 | But the great question is, Whether the creatures obedience foreknown, did move God to give him eternal life? |
A77642 | But were not these things prophesied of? |
A77642 | But yet, say some, did not he bid Shimei curse David? |
A77642 | But( say some) what if it were the pleasure of God to make a thousand worlds, and to destroy them all? |
A77642 | But( will some say) doth God invite all men, and offer grace to all men really and in good earnest? |
A77642 | But, may some say, is he so the Saviour of all men, that none shall be damn''d in the second death? |
A77642 | Can there be any possibility that they should believe, for whom Christ meirteth not faith, seeing all that do believe had faith merited for them? |
A77642 | Christ foreknew( and so did the Father) that Judas would betray Jesus; doth it follow that God appointed Judas hereunto? |
A77642 | Did the Spirit of the Lord ever say that Christ dyed not for all, or that he dyed but for some? |
A77642 | Doth God command men to hear? |
A77642 | Doth he command men to see, consider, and understand? |
A77642 | First, I ask, What was it that the hand and counsel of the Lord determin''d to be done or brought to pass? |
A77642 | First, Whether every Man and Woman have not ability to act something? |
A77642 | For, first, I querie, Whether unbelief and disobedience be simply sins? |
A77642 | How comes it to pass then that all do not walk up to that light which God hath manifested to them, believing and obeying the truth? |
A77642 | I answer, first, by a Querie, Whether we shall be judged by the Word as it speaks, or as men say it means? |
A77642 | I demand whether he doth acquire them to serve him, or profess his service really or seemingly? |
A77642 | I grant it: but will any be so void of reason as to say, therefore he appointed it, and chose out or ordained one man to Adultery, another to Murther? |
A77642 | If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A77642 | In a word, what Nation was there, to whom he sent not his Messengers? |
A77642 | Is it not most evident that all were sanctified by the blood of Christ? |
A77642 | Is it not said, To you it is given on the behalf of Christ not onely to believe, but also to suffer for his sake? |
A77642 | Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened? |
A77642 | It must of necessity also be the root of a dead faith, for what life can that faith have, which is grounded upon our own qualifications? |
A77642 | Let all the nations be gathered together, let all the people be assembled; who amongst them can declare this, and shew us former things? |
A77642 | Now I would know whether they were appointed to be obedient or disobedient? |
A77642 | Now what account did he make of man? |
A77642 | Object But is it not sayd, Come, buy,& c. without money and without price? |
A77642 | Oh where was the wisdome of that poor creature who restrained and limited Scripture- Redemption? |
A77642 | Secondly, Whether that power or ability be not from God alone through Christ? |
A77642 | Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? |
A77642 | Shall there be evill in the City, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A77642 | That the Devil put in the heart of Iudas to betray Iesus? |
A77642 | That they were appointed to be disobedient? |
A77642 | Then what have you to do to say that he is so to others? |
A77642 | Thirdly, Whether God did indue them with that ability to do well, or to do ill, or to do nothing? |
A77642 | Thou art not excluded by name, and why shouldst thou exclude thy self through unbeliefe? |
A77642 | What is man, that thou takest knowledge of him; or the son of man, that thou makest account of him? |
A77642 | What is that to thee? |
A77642 | What shall they do that have not the Scriptures? |
A77642 | What then? |
A77642 | Where is the distinguishing love of God, if Christ dyed for all? |
A77642 | Why will ye spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not? |
A77642 | and how comes it to pass that some do believe and obey, and others do not? |
A77642 | are these his doings? |
A77642 | did he think that his bare word is a sufficient warrant for us to believe by? |
A77642 | disswade any man from an evill way be this doctrine? |
A77642 | eng Troughton, William, 1614?-1677? |
A77642 | even they that trod it under foot, and flight it, and despise the Spirit of grace, and Son of God? |
A77642 | how they can be so unkind to their Saviour, and to tread him under foot that bought and sanctified them with his dearest heart- blood? |
A77642 | is there any Scripture from the beginning of Genesis to the end of the Revelation that speaks thus? |
A77642 | or are there any more sorts of men and women, but such as obey the Spirit, and such as resist it? |
A77642 | produce them? |
A77642 | reprove them for being so? |
A77642 | shall we think that he that reproves men for judging another mans servant, will allow that which he condemns? |
A77642 | shew wherein, as I desired him, being then present? |
A77642 | to the word, or to disobedience? |
A77642 | what profession of the Faith of Christ can they make, and what good or evil can they do? |
A77642 | would Christ ever have been grieved for the hardnesse of the Jewes hearts, had he not laid down his life for them? |
A77642 | yea how can their sin be of themselves, if God appointed them to be disobedient? |
A69536 | And are not the Souls of such as you call humorous, peevish, or wilful, worth more than some of that which you call your Liberty? |
A69536 | And did the fear of bringing Persecution on others hinder them? |
A69536 | And did they forbear for fear of bringing Persecution on Dissenters? |
A69536 | And hath the Protestant Religion been secured and advantaged by our usage? |
A69536 | And if so, is it no subordinate obedience that is due to Parents and other Superiors? |
A69536 | And if the Question be, Whether this be formal Obedience, or only material? |
A69536 | And if to save such an one you would not so much as deny any of your liberty for him, what would you do for him at all? |
A69536 | And is not this a Natural Common Duty? |
A69536 | And must we not labour hard, and suffer much, for to win such Souls? |
A69536 | And must you have Lordships, great maintenance, reverence, honour, and obedience, for needless preaching? |
A69536 | And should not the Soul of a Sinner be as compassionately saved by us as his Body, as far as we are able, and at as dear a rate? |
A69536 | And that when the Fire consumed the Churches, and when in many Parishes the tenth part of the People have no Church to go to? |
A69536 | And we are commanded to pray, Forgive our enemies, persecutors, and slanderers, and turn their hearts: And must we pray, and not endeavour? |
A69536 | And we would ask them, Whether they live not themselves in the practice of the contrary? |
A69536 | And whether so to do would deserve honour and preferment, and to do otherwise be a Crime that deserveth silencing, and ruine? |
A69536 | Are not Souls more worth than Bodies? |
A69536 | Are they not worth more than a Pipe of Tobacco, or a Cup of Sack, or a Stage- play, or a needless Ceremony; which you account part of your Liberty? |
A69536 | Are they pleased with well- doing, and with that which promoteth the Protestant interest, and mans salvation? |
A69536 | Are they willing that so many of the English Non- conformists shall have leave to preach Christ''s Gospel freely, as never had any hand in the Wars? |
A69536 | Are things lawful none of the[ All things?] |
A69536 | At what Age he would have Mankind begin the practice of this Principle? |
A69536 | Can Christians be of your Religion? |
A69536 | Did not Christ come to seek and save them? |
A69536 | Did not Mr. Eaton, when he wrote that the Oath of Allegiance and the Covenant bind not, know that most of us were against his judgement? |
A69536 | Did not Mr. Nye write to prove it lawful to hear the Parish Ministers? |
A69536 | Do not all Sects, even Quakers, meet at the Place and Time which their Leaders do appoint them? |
A69536 | Do they not command their own Servants and Children things or circumstances antecedently indifferent? |
A69536 | Do they not hear the words which the Leader chuseth for their Ears? |
A69536 | Do you not thus reproach Christ, that set a higher price on Souls, when you value them not at the price of a Cup of Drink? |
A69536 | Do you think that the Devil and the Papists had rather we were silenced, or not? |
A69536 | Doth he believe the immortality of Souls who will say so? |
A69536 | Doth not God beneficently love his Enemies; even the sinful, the humorous, the proud, and the peevish? |
A69536 | Doth not God welcome such Prodigals when they return, Luke 16. and call, invite, and intreat them to return? |
A69536 | Doth not the Law of Nature oblige us to love our Neighbour as our selves? |
A69536 | Doth not this doleful Doctrine tell Men consequently, that they should seek to save the Soul of no Sinner in the World? |
A69536 | Hast thou faith? |
A69536 | Hath not this Reason( to keep others from Persecution) prevailed with us far enough and long enough? |
A69536 | If a Man be against one Schoolmaster only over a thousand Schools, shall he be reproached because he is willing to teach one? |
A69536 | If it be that we Preach worse than others, or Preach Sedition, or unsound Doctrine, why are not we accused of it, and judged upon proof? |
A69536 | If not, doth this Religion of yours much commend it self to the Nature of Mankind? |
A69536 | If the Question be, whether any Ruler have power to Command a thing which would be no Duty, but indifferent, if he did not Command it? |
A69536 | If you say that our preaching is needless, Is not your own then as needless, if you preach the same Gospel? |
A69536 | Is a King in each Kingdom as unreasonable a thing as a Papal Monarch, or a King of Kings, and of all the Earth? |
A69536 | Is a Parish a Multitude of such Churches? |
A69536 | Is not Love the fulfilling of the Law, and the End of the Gospel, and Faith working by Love, the Sum of Christian Religion? |
A69536 | Is not that Man perfectly holy? |
A69536 | Is not this such Carnal Policy, as if not repented of, will perish with the Masters of it? |
A69536 | Is silencing us our suffering most, or the Peoples? |
A69536 | Is there not joy in Heaven for their Repentance? |
A69536 | Must we tempt men to think that we are Seekers, Quakers, Separatists, Anabaptists, lest we expose them to Persecution? |
A69536 | Nor any thing but keeping them from preaching the Doctrine of Salvation? |
A69536 | Or is he that writeth this fit to report us of the other mind, unfit for subjection, or Humane Society? |
A69536 | Shall we have no pity on Mens guilty Souls? |
A69536 | Should not every thing be valued according to its worth? |
A69536 | That is, whether Duty be Sin, whether Life be Death, and Light be Darkness? |
A69536 | WHether things antecedently lawful do therefore become unlawful, because commanded by Lawful Authority? |
A69536 | Was it for matter of War that near two Thousand Ministers were ejected, or silenced, 1662? |
A69536 | We protest against the persecution of sober godly Christians, on the account of such differences; and are we then guilty of what we deprecate? |
A69536 | What Moralities, what Untruths, Injustice, and Unmercifulness is it pregnant with? |
A69536 | Whether their way of Exposition, or ours, tend more to promote Perjury and Equivocation; and which more secureth Truth and Honesty? |
A69536 | Whether there be need of much Learning, Conscience, or Honesty, to stretch the words from their ordinary sense, more than to do otherwise? |
A69536 | Whether we owe not that honour to our Law- makers, as to suppose that they are able, and willing, to speak intelligibly? |
A69536 | Who is it that hath not as great sin as some humorous, or peevish stumbling at some lawful thing? |
A69536 | Why should Men be feigned so mad, as to argue at this rate? |
A69536 | Why should no other penalty serve in this case, but silencing us? |
A69536 | Would not punishing the innocent, as Drunkards or Whoremongers are punished, satisfie you? |
A69536 | Would they have us either by speech or silence draw men to believe, that we are of all mens minds whom we would save from Persecution? |
A69536 | Would you deny none of these to save many Souls? |
A69536 | Would you have God care no more for your soul, and value it at no higher a rate? |
A69536 | Would you have it believed that they are purchased by his Blood? |
A69536 | Would you not deny your Liberty in a Cup of Drink, or a Pipe of Tobacco, to save the Life of one that in humour would destroy himself? |
A69536 | [ Children obey your Parents in all things, for this is well- pleasing to the Lord: Servants obey in all things your Masters according to the Flesh? |
A69536 | and Mr. Tombes write to prove it lawful both to hear and to communicate with them? |
A69536 | and all this on pretense of good? |
A69536 | and must we not in compassion speak for peace, but only say as Christ, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do? |
A69536 | or for something else? |
A69536 | or his House, who would set it on fire? |
A69536 | or to four persons in a Village, than to thousands in Cities? |
A69536 | or who is it that hath no pride, no peevishness, no humorousness, or at least that hath no vitious Principle at all? |
A69536 | what work will selfishness and fleshly interest make? |
A69536 | yea to cherish the sin of many, lest some should suffer? |
A78034 | * Grolls? |
A78034 | A Christian Church out of the Jewes Synagogue? |
A78034 | A Wheele- barrow( such as they trundle White- wine- vinegar on) fitter for them then a Coach? |
A78034 | All the Independents put together, have not so much learning as any one of a thousand other Ministers? |
A78034 | And a quondam- fellow- sufferer too? |
A78034 | And can you prove all those Parishes, out of which Churches are so gathered, as you say, to be Assemblies of believers? |
A78034 | And did Pauls, and the Apostles doctrine escape the scourge of this whip? |
A78034 | And doe you not know, that the ancient Church of the Jewes was then a Church, when the Apostles by their preaching gathered a Church out of it? |
A78034 | And doe you not no lesse oppose, vilifie, disgrace, jeare, and scoffe at their persons? |
A78034 | And for Churches, doe you, Brother, limit Churches to Parishes? |
A78034 | And have more then one done it? |
A78034 | And have we not all taken the solemne Covenant to reform our selves and others, according to the word of God? |
A78034 | And if all Churches in one Oecumenicall Councell, as one Church, be Dependent, then whereupon Dependent? |
A78034 | And is it so indeed? |
A78034 | And must Christ have no other doctrine or Church- government in the world, then that which is set up by the worlds authoritie? |
A78034 | And so, what if they stiffly maintain a most damnable and destructive herefie, which overthroweth a main principall and fundamentall of faith? |
A78034 | And the time of this first gathering, was it not then, when the old service and ceremonies were in use? |
A78034 | And therefore seeing such things are objected, how doth it concerne both Ministers and people to looke to their evidences? |
A78034 | And to endeavour to our power, to extirpate and roote out all Popery, Prelacy, Idolatry and Superstition out of this Kingdome? |
A78034 | And what if the higher the worse? |
A78034 | And what one? |
A78034 | And who hath gathered these Churches? |
A78034 | And( I pray) what harm in that? |
A78034 | Are there not a number of both ignorant and scandalous, that are not fit to come to the Lords Table? |
A78034 | As Peter and John answered, Why looke yee so on us? |
A78034 | Brother, What''s become, I say not of your brotherhood, but of your manhood? |
A78034 | But Brother, who is this you speake of? |
A78034 | But can a few, at least some Nathaniels, among so many, carry the matters by vote, if they be many that contra- vote? |
A78034 | But come we to the highest of all, a generall Counsell of all the Churches in the world: is this now, a Church Dependent, or Independent? |
A78034 | But doe the Independents accuse your Booke, as worthy to be burnt by the common hangman, and that you are crased in your braine? |
A78034 | But doe they professe the butchery of the Presbyterians? |
A78034 | But how comes it to passe, that my two fellow- sufferers, and my selfe, should fall at this odds? |
A78034 | But in the interim, to return to your Converts; Do you hold all them to be converts, from among whom churches are gathered? |
A78034 | But is it in any more then one onely frontispice? |
A78034 | But must that needs be heresie, which you account heresie? |
A78034 | But tell me, Brother ▪ who is it ▪ that doth this? |
A78034 | But you alledge that of Cornelius sending to Joppa for Peter, he sent not( say you) to the Church of Corinth; true, and what then? |
A78034 | Can two walk together, except they be agreed? |
A78034 | Despisers of Magistracy? |
A78034 | Did this protestation( trow you) cleare him from being a notorious, yea, unparalleld Persecutor? |
A78034 | Do you imply here the lawfulnesse of the matter of gathering, by questioning onely the manner? |
A78034 | Do you not allow of a difference to be put? |
A78034 | Doe you not call them* Beasts? |
A78034 | Doth he rather withdraw from the Ordinance, then he can endure to see it so prophaned, and so partake with the prophaners? |
A78034 | Ergo, are all Popish Parishes, Assemblies of Believers? |
A78034 | Et tu Brute? |
A78034 | Good now tell me, what church either Parochiall, or Classicall, I should go unto? |
A78034 | Have we all the Pulpits in the Kingdome? |
A78034 | Moone- calves? |
A78034 | Nay, doth it not stand with very good reason, that they who are to walk together, should first be agreed together? |
A78034 | No? |
A78034 | Now did ever proceed out of the mouth of a quondam- Martyr, and one newly brought out of a balefull prison, such a fiery breath as this? |
A78034 | Now if you have not a good Presbytery, where shall he goe to complaine? |
A78034 | Now is all this no opposing of the Persons of those you call Independents? |
A78034 | Now, did I ever so perswade the people, or make them believe so? |
A78034 | Old geese? |
A78034 | Or are there not( trow you) many Parishes in England, where, perhaps but a few true converts are to be found? |
A78034 | Or did the distance of the two Pillaries boad any such distance in our present judgements? |
A78034 | Or did you thinke to cover your selfe with your owne Cobweb, that the palpable nakedness of your shiftless and shameless affront should not be seene? |
A78034 | Or do you make every parish to be a Church? |
A78034 | Or if they doe truly preach it, why doe they not practise it, and perswade the people to depend upon Christ for it, and not upon men? |
A78034 | Or is it a Dependent on it selfe? |
A78034 | Or that noveltie, which appeares so to those that measure things rather by custome, then truth? |
A78034 | Puffoists? |
A78034 | See the Directory: Or do you take the greatest number in England to be godly, and truly converted? |
A78034 | Sticklers against Parliament and Presbytery? |
A78034 | Stirring up all along Magistrates and People to cut them off? |
A78034 | They? |
A78034 | Thinke not that I am come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword,& c. Well: what of this? |
A78034 | Use a Brother so? |
A78034 | What if they not only not believe, but deny and disclaime Christs Kingly Prerogative? |
A78034 | What if you finde so many hundred Parishes in England, whose Inhabitants both Ministers and people are all Malignants, or popishly- affected? |
A78034 | What is to be done? |
A78034 | What say you of that precedent of the Apostles, who in the Temple daily preached a diversed doctrine, to that of the Pharisees? |
A78034 | What they? |
A78034 | What thinke you of the like speech the late Prelate of Canterbury used in his* Booke to the King? |
A78034 | What? |
A78034 | Whereon then? |
A78034 | Who are we that you should thus charge us? |
A78034 | Who hath done thus? |
A78034 | Why Brother, doe you not know this to be a time of Reformation? |
A78034 | Why, Brother, what needed all these periphrases and circumlocutions? |
A78034 | Wild geese? |
A78034 | Will you have those Parishes to be so many Churches, and those popish Malignants, so many believers? |
A78034 | Yea,& to take him so disgracefully by his white beard too,& that with a scurrilous Epithet, calling it* a great white ba ● ket- hilted beard? |
A78034 | a company of Jugglers? |
A78034 | a company of ratts among joyn''d stooles? |
A78034 | a generation of cunning and crafty jugglers? |
A78034 | a generation of men, not worthy to give guts to a Beare? |
A78034 | and fighters against God? |
A78034 | and what not? |
A78034 | as having been formerly known for an open enemy and persecutor of the Church, and so justly to be suspected, till publique evidence by witnesse given? |
A78034 | cunning deceivers? |
A78034 | making them odious to the Scots? |
A78034 | speaking nothing but daggers, and daring? |
A78034 | the most dangerous sect that ever yet the world produced? |
A78034 | violaters of all the lawes of God and Nature? |
A41782 | ( that is, do I preach the Doctrine of God or Man?) |
A41782 | 13,& c. is express for that laying on of hands which follows Baptism, to be granted to Christ to Infants? |
A41782 | 18. who then may question his Regal Power to be of God? |
A41782 | 18.? |
A41782 | 19, 20. warrant this Practice to the end of the World? |
A41782 | And I pray Sir, consider, whether you could not with a good Conscience translate it so? |
A41782 | And because we are speaking of Ceremonies, we crave leave to enquire, What means the Ceremony of the Ring in Marriage? |
A41782 | And if God hath not Mercy on poor dying Infants, so as to save them all by Christ, pray shew what Mercy he hath upon them? |
A41782 | And if it were so, why should not my Spirit be troubled? |
A41782 | And is it so necessary that the Understanding act in the Duty? |
A41782 | And is the sacred Word of Power to beget us to God, and by the assistance of his Spirit to make us his Children, or Christians? |
A41782 | And on the other side, Whether your Conscience would not accuse you, should you translate the Text, Teach all Nations, sprinkling them? |
A41782 | And saith the Prophet, I have delivered all these Countries into the Hands of Nebuchadnezzar: Who then may take them out of his Hand? |
A41782 | And shall we not exceedingly fear, and stand in awe of that Majesty, which made these Pillars in the Church to tremble? |
A41782 | And then to what purpose are these Rules given? |
A41782 | And then what manner of Men are they that will take Liberty to rail on their Princes, if they do not what they would have them? |
A41782 | And what Christian will not tremble to think of doing any thing against the tenour of his blessed Prayer? |
A41782 | And what Honour can belong to such? |
A41782 | And what Infant did you ever know thus qualified for Baptism? |
A41782 | And what if God, willing to magnify his Mercy and Goodness, has provided a Saviour for the innocent Babes( dying in Infancy) throughout the World? |
A41782 | And what tho 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 signify many Waters? |
A41782 | And where you presently say, They have the Covenant belonging to them with their believing Parents? |
A41782 | And whither would such a Consequence lead us, if we should follow it? |
A41782 | And why? |
A41782 | Are Infants of Jews, Turks, and Indians all of the visible Kingdom of Satan? |
A41782 | Are they not marked out in Scripture for the worst sort of Men, that are not afraid to speak evil of Dignities? |
A41782 | As for me, is my complaint to 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A41782 | But have not the Prophets reproved Kings when they did Evil? |
A41782 | But how shall it be a Power or Government without its Form? |
A41782 | But how then does Mr. Taylor prove his Minor? |
A41782 | But if it should happen that Princes should some way intrench upon the Civil Rights of their Subjects? |
A41782 | But what things are they? |
A41782 | But where now shall this Discipline be found in the Church of England? |
A41782 | But why do our Brethren of the Church of England speak of the Seal in the Singular? |
A41782 | But why may not the good Angels rebuke Satan? |
A41782 | But your Conscience will tell you, it signifies into, as well as to; and indeed you grant it: and then to what putpose do you quarrel our Translation? |
A41782 | But — whether it be right in the sight of God, to hearken unto you more than unto God, judg ye? |
A41782 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy- Ghost as well as we? |
A41782 | Can you think that such Doctrine befriends the Covenant of Grace? |
A41782 | Come they not hence, even from Pride? |
A41782 | Did not God provide by his express Law, that his Sacrifices should not be changed at Man''s Will, a good for a bad, nor a bad for a good? |
A41782 | Do not Men that thus deal with the Word Baptize, make him the Author of all our Contests in this Case? |
A41782 | Do not even Bishops hear Men swear a thousand Oaths, and either do not, or dare not use any Discipline against them? |
A41782 | Does God make an Ordinance or any thing else without Form? |
A41782 | Does any one Assembly, or Court, of the Church of England observe it? |
A41782 | Does not Isaiah cry out against them that presumed to change God''s Ordinances, as Breakers of the everlasting Covenant? |
A41782 | Does plunging or dipping take away the Understanding? |
A41782 | Doth a Fountain give sweet Water and bitter at the same place? |
A41782 | For He that hath this Worlds Good, and sees his Brother want, and shutteth up the Bowels of his Compassion, how dwells the Love of God in him? |
A41782 | For is not Necessity as good a Warrant to take up the practice of, or to restore one Truth as well as another? |
A41782 | From whence come Wars and Fightings? |
A41782 | Has he not sent his Apostles, whose Words have gone to the uttermost parts of the Earth? |
A41782 | Have Infants no benefit by the Covenant of Grace, unless their Parents believe? |
A41782 | He goes as high as the second Century, and takes an instance of sprinkling from the service of the Daemons( that is, Devil- Gods) but why so? |
A41782 | How can that Tongue be fit to bless God, to profess the Christian Religion, which is exercised in cursing, speaking evil, or wishing ill to any Man? |
A41782 | How have they lorded it over Kings and Kingdoms, over the Estates, Liberties and Lives of Christians? |
A41782 | How should we count them precious, if indeed God hated them from all Eternity? |
A41782 | I shall profess to be none of those that are concerned in the Question, Whether Infants have Faith? |
A41782 | If it be not his Will, wherefore is it done? |
A41782 | If so, what can you call it? |
A41782 | If you salute your Brethren only, what do you more than others? |
A41782 | Is it meet to say to a King, Thou art wicked? |
A41782 | Is it not commonly this, That the Hypocrites or Time- servers do fill that Church which has the Power of the Magistrate on her side? |
A41782 | Let us hear the Apostle Paul, he is plain; Do I now persuade Men, or God? |
A41782 | Nay, but with what Face or Conscience will he be able to forsake Popery, and not abjure his irregular Ordination? |
A41782 | Now who can think, that our Saviour should use an ambiguous Word, which is to guide us in matter of Fact? |
A41782 | Now who would think, that wise and good Men should thus grope at Noon- day? |
A41782 | Or can Christians no other way bring their Infants to Christ? |
A41782 | Or do no Infants belong to Christ, but those who are so brought? |
A41782 | Or does she not practise that in her Courts, which is too evidently destructive of it? |
A41782 | Or would you make our Saviour to say, He that baptizeth an Infant in my Name, receiveth me? |
A41782 | Secondly, But Sir, what need was there for one Man only to baptize the three thousand? |
A41782 | Shall not the Judg of all the Earth do Right? |
A41782 | Shall we speak one thing, and do another? |
A41782 | Shall we think then, that the Popish Orders are valid, in which there is not any preceding enquiry into manners? |
A41782 | Taylor tells us expresly, Whether Infants have Faith? |
A41782 | The Church of England blames the Papists for saying Marriage is a Sacrament; but shall we then make a Sacrament of a Ring? |
A41782 | The only question here to be resolved is, Whether this laying on of Hands was for Ordination? |
A41782 | Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy presence, when once thou art angry? |
A41782 | What Duty should not Infants be entitled to, as well as to Baptism? |
A41782 | What can be said more in this case? |
A41782 | What if the Powers command otherwise? |
A41782 | What need this trouble any Body? |
A41782 | What ordinary Vocation is that which you say the first Reformers had, excepting some few of them, is it not the Pall? |
A41782 | What shall I say to this? |
A41782 | What then is the result of Persecution for Religion? |
A41782 | What then must we do? |
A41782 | What then? |
A41782 | What, Sir, in their Infancy? |
A41782 | Whence is this to me, said Elizabeth, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? |
A41782 | Whether a succession of Ordination from Man to Man, down from some of the Apostles, be absolutely necessary to a due Call to the Ministry? |
A41782 | Whether all that are in the Covenant of Grace may be baptized? |
A41782 | Whether the same Means that is of Authority sufficient to make Men Christians, be not also sufficient to make Ministers? |
A41782 | Who can hate Man, whose Nature and Likeness he beholds in the Humanity of God? |
A41782 | Who has required it? |
A41782 | Who sees not that such a Principle is pregnant with Oppression? |
A41782 | Who sees not, that being thus set up, they are sometimes more set by, than sincere Faith, and an holy Life? |
A41782 | Whose Image and Superscription is this, says Christ? |
A41782 | Why are we forced not only to use it, but to use it in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy- Ghost? |
A41782 | Why then do they thus act? |
A41782 | Ye did run well, who did hinder you, that you should not obey the Truth? |
A41782 | and to Princes, Ye are ungodly? |
A41782 | do not these Men pray for their own Destruction? |
A41782 | must our Eye be Evil, because his is thus Bountiful? |
A41782 | or if he do abjure it, how can he by virtue thereof claim Authority to teach? |
A41782 | that even an Heathen, that is not baptized, may administer Baptism in case of Necessity? |
A41782 | what is this? |
A41782 | what then? |
A41782 | yea, very often by Men of the same Order, one towards another? |
A41388 | 2dly, were you not under some discontent for your present low Condition? |
A41388 | Besides if the Sun stood still from eternity, what caused it to move in time? |
A41388 | But are not many Ministers themselves a chief cause that they are so contemned? |
A41388 | But doe not you now run into the same erro ● r which you so lately condemned in others? |
A41388 | But is not the poverty of many of them and the poor pittances allotted for their subsistence as great a cause of their contempt as any? |
A41388 | But is not this an intrenchment upon our Christian liberty, to be confind to particular Modes and Forms? |
A41388 | But pray tell me, is it possible, that there should be such fierce disputes, and bitter contentions about a very nothing? |
A41388 | But what do you think of their opnion ● oncerning Inf ● nt Baptism? |
A41388 | Can we imagine that such a gift was bestowed on him to Stir up wantonness and lust, by the more artificial singing, of unsavory Sonnets? |
A41388 | Could any thing be utter''d more fals and invidious? |
A41388 | Did not Astrologers, and Heathen Oracles foretel many things that came to pass as they were foretold? |
A41388 | Do you think that all Nonconformists, and Separatists from your Church, are Libertines and Atheists? |
A41388 | Does any light of nature make it rational that the Gods should be pleased with the blood of poor innocent Beasts? |
A41388 | Have you any thing else to object aginst these Schismatick practices? |
A41388 | How could you be deceived by such painted sepulchers? |
A41388 | How do set form ● of Prayer more stint the Spirit, then set Forms of Psalms for Singing? |
A41388 | How do you prove that to be unnecessary? |
A41388 | How easie had it been then to have setled a competent maintenance upon most Churches in the Nation? |
A41388 | I confess''t is not very probable; but have you any other proof, for the certainty of these Prophecyes? |
A41388 | I very much approve your reason against the necessity of transubstantiation: Let me here from you why you tearme it monstrous, and impossible? |
A41388 | If of all religions in the world, all are not in the right, how will you know which is the true Religion, which is the false? |
A41388 | Is it imaginable that so many wise men should contend about a trifle, a fancy, a very nothing? |
A41388 | Looke we on the animate Creatures, plants, herbs, flowers, grass, grain, how wonderfully they grow and multiply? |
A41388 | Methinks I read some discontent in your face: what may be the cause of it? |
A41388 | Now to the last objection: Were it not better that some Apochryphal Chapters were left out of the calender, and Canonical Lessons set in their place? |
A41388 | O what will become of such an one unto all eternity? |
A41388 | Or shall the husbandman refuse pure wheat because''t was once mingl''d with chaff, and tares, albeit''t is now winno ● ed and s ● fted? |
A41388 | Or shall we refuse Pauls Epistles, because there are in them certain savory passages taken out of the writings of Idolatrous Heathens? |
A41388 | Shall a true man refuse to take his goods, and make the best he can of them because he finds them in a Theifs house? |

A41388 | When our Saviour saies( Hoc est corpus meum) what doth( hoc) stand for? |
A41388 | When will that time come, that such strict discipline will be endured? |
A41388 | You are pleased to make your self mercy with these mens bare- fac''t hypocricy, what a jugles this light within them? |
A41388 | and I pray you what think you of their other rare quali ● ies before mentioned? |
A41388 | and others of his perswasion appropriate to that Church: but had you not some other inducements? |
A41388 | did Christ and his Apostles propagate the Gospel with such Carnall weapons? |
A41388 | for may not the eare be deceived as well as the eye? |
A41388 | how must they be broken into infinite fractions, especially where the fear of a Common enemy does not unite and peice them together? |
A41388 | if one or two or three Senses may be deceived, why not all? |
A41388 | of Angell, Saint, or Image, which is so expressly forbidden in the word of God? |
A41388 | or 3dly, were you not ambitious of preferment, deeming popery to be a ready way to it? |
A41388 | or is it rational to imagine that they should delight in humane ● acrifices? |
A41388 | or lastly before you set up for the Church of Rome, were you serious and conscientiou ● in any Religion? |
A41388 | or that''t is his method to informe the mind by Impostures? |
A41388 | shall we think that the God of truth Gave to m ● n five Scences, to deceive 4 of them by one pretended miracle? |
A41388 | the nose, the tast, the touch? |
A41388 | then what will become of Romes orall Tradition? |
A41388 | those excellent Prayers She uses, how are they ● itted to our infirmities, mixed with Psalms, Hymns, and choise portions of Scripture? |
A41388 | what could you see more in them then what was conspicuous in the Scribes and Phari ● ees of old? |
A41388 | what nation is there so great that has Statues and judgments so Righteous, as all the Law which is set before you this day? |
A41388 | what need is there then of a Transubstantiation? |
A41388 | when ● e cured the blind, the dumb, the lame, when he turned water into wine, was not this manifest to the Sight, the Smell, the Tast? |
A41388 | which nevertheless the Anabaptists practise; have they not express Texts for obeying the Civil Magistrate? |
A41388 | why not rather in that of baptism? |
A41388 | why should not the baptismall water be changed into Christs very blood? |

A47851 | Whether beside the Guilt of Blood contracted upon himself in the Wars of England, and Scotland, he was not also Guilty of the Blood of Ireland? |
A47851 | Whether seeing the Covenant was made to God Almighty, All Persons by the Covenant were not bound to bring Delinquents to Punishment? |
A47851 | Whether the Title of Supream, be not rather Nominal than Real? |
A47851 | Who Oppresses you? |
A47851 | Who gave you that name? |
A47851 | Who knoweth how soon the Lord may bless us with a Holy Peace, and Blessed Reformation, if Justice were more fully Executed? |
A47851 | Why do ye not Name the Contrivances, and say who are the Conspirators? |
A47851 | Why do ye not inform against him to the King and Council then, and say Where, and When, and How, and What? |
A47851 | Why should I tell ye of Gideon and Barak, and Sampson, and the rest? |
A47851 | Would they be United? |
A47851 | a Commotion? |

A47851 | and Prophaneness, more then in other Reformed Churches? |
A47851 | and Solomons Backslider in Heart, who shall be fill''d with his own ways? |
A47851 | and the God of Nase ● … y? |
A47851 | and what Trust can be given to those, that never kept Faith either with God or Man? |
A47851 | hath not he gone after you, and sound you, and laid you upon his shoulders rejoycing? |
A47851 | he that hath sin''d away his Conscience? |
A47851 | or where doth he sit? |
A47851 | what Plots Discover''d; what Cabinets of Letters Detected; what Actions Described; what Hearts anatomiz''d? |
A36241 | * Who is there among you Generous? |
A36241 | And are we deeply concerned at the Consequences which have followed upon it, distructive to our Common Religion? |
A36241 | And can he pretend that Cornelius was possessed of any thing of which the Magistrate could deprive him? |
A36241 | And did not they do so too, as well as we, before the Deprivation? |
A36241 | And does not he the same? |
A36241 | And how are we therein singular? |
A36241 | And how can he have the confidence to obtrude that upon Us, which he does not believe himself? |
A36241 | And how can he pretend it sufficient for that purpose, if it was from the beginning null and invalid? |
A36241 | And how can he that does so, think the Church in his arrear for his favour and protection? |
A36241 | And how can they justify their disowning them upon a Sentence confessedly invalid? |
A36241 | And how could our H. Fathert hope to succeed under so manifest and general a desertion of those who owe Duty to them, and know they do so? |
A36241 | And is there not one calling in Christ? |
A36241 | And they which wait at the Altar, are partakers of the Altar? |
A36241 | And what Schisms or Persecutions can be worse to a Society than dissolution? |
A36241 | And what can the Doctor say more for the Possession of Cornelius against Novation? |
A36241 | And what could all his intermedling in these matters signify, if he can not oblige God to ratify what is done by him? |
A36241 | And what good Church of England Man was there then that did not think the Plea very just and reasonable? |
A36241 | And what has he to prove the contrary? |
A36241 | And what has the Doctor attempted to the contrary? |
A36241 | And what may that be? |
A36241 | And who could better Judge of his Right as a Christian Prince, than he who was the first example of it? |
A36241 | And why might not these times fall on the courses of Ithamar? |
A36241 | And why must we take so much pains to no purpose? |
A36241 | And why so? |
A36241 | And why? |
A36241 | Besides this very Sentence of Deprivation, which the Doctor owns to be invalid? |
A36241 | But can he deny at least, that his design in publishing it, was to purge his party from the guilt of the present Schism? |
A36241 | But how does it appear, without an explicite Contract, that it is accepted of with a design of entring into a Contract? |
A36241 | But how does the Doctor pretend to avoid this Consequence? |
A36241 | But to what purpose is it to produce proofs if the Doctor will take no notice of them? |
A36241 | But what, says the Doctor, can the suffering of a few particular men be, when compared with the Peace and Tranquillity of the whole Church besides? |
A36241 | But where could they seek or find them, but the same Objection, would still recur from this Right of the Civil Magistrate? |
A36241 | But why, if our duty still be owing to the Rightful Claimers, as it must notwithstanding an invalid deprivation? |
A36241 | Can he reconcile this with their old Duty, or excuse themselves, for violating that Duty, from being Accomplices in the Injustice? |
A36241 | Could the Restitution be made by Solomon, and yet Zadok be High Priest in the time of David? |
A36241 | Could they think this agreeable to the design of the Constitution? |
A36241 | Do we cleave to our deprived Fathers, notwithstanding the Lay deprivation? |
A36241 | Do we heartily wish that the Schismatical Rivals would think of Repentance, and returning to their Duty? |
A36241 | Do we own the Old Bishops for the true Bishops of these Sees, of which they have pretended to deprive them? |
A36241 | Does he expect that they must signify their minds herein Juridically, as they did formerly, from their Courts and their Cathedrals? |
A36241 | Does not he recommend the like thoughts to the Schismaticks of his own time? |
A36241 | For he puts the Case of a Bishop forbidding his People, on their Oaths, to accept of any other Bishop, and then asks, what must be done in such Cases? |
A36241 | For how can he secure his New Facts when all of their kind have been prov''d unconclusive? |
A36241 | Had not this been his Case, why could he not be prevailed on, to say something to the reason of the thing? |
A36241 | Have we not one God, and one Christ, and one Spirit of Grace that is shed upon Us? |
A36241 | How can he prove them discharged from their first duty, if the Lay deprivation be not sufficient to discharge them? |
A36241 | How can he then oblige them to any further accounts on their part; that are to be made up by cession of their just Rights? |
A36241 | How can it appear, that in accepting of the Prince''s favours, such a Contract as this was ever thought of? |
A36241 | How can they then apply here the Case of Abiathar? |
A36241 | How could he give or take away a Power from others, to which himself could not pretend? |
A36241 | How could he suppose his Act would be ratified in Heaven? |
A36241 | How could he therefore advance any Person to that Dignity, or exclude him from it? |
A36241 | How could the Magistrate pretend to any Right in Affairs of this nature? |
A36241 | How does it appear, that any Right, on their own side, is intended to be parted with in consideration of it? |
A36241 | How does it appear, that it is accepted of as a consideration? |
A36241 | How much more pleasing a sight must this be to all generous and Christian Tempers than our present Divisions and Scandals, and Animosities? |
A36241 | How should the Church and State make Two distinst Societies, says he, where the Church and State consist of the very same Persons? |
A36241 | How so, if our Eucharist had not been properly a Sa ● rifice? |
A36241 | How so? |
A36241 | How than could he pretend to to that Power? |
A36241 | How then can an Act purely Personal, intitle him to an accession of Spiritual Authority? |
A36241 | How then can any unprejudiced Judge take the Doctor''s Book for an Answer to the Vindication? |
A36241 | How then can the Magistrate pretend to it? |
A36241 | How then can the maintaining so licentious Principles be taken for an Expedient for preventing Schism? |
A36241 | How then can we doubt of the Title of Zadok before Abiathar, Zadok being descended from the Elder Brother? |
A36241 | How then comes he by this Power in Spirituals, which our Adversaries challenge for him? |
A36241 | How then do they come to know that they were High- Priests in the Sense here disputed? |
A36241 | How therefore can we believe Solomon ignorant of it? |
A36241 | How worthy are his following Words of their Consideration? |
A36241 | If they be certain and present how can they pretend that, by their compliance, they have avoided them? |
A36241 | Is it because Ahias ministred before the Ark, and Ahimelech and Abiathar gave Divine Answers to David? |
A36241 | Is the Church perjured if she accept of another? |
A36241 | Must they publickly warn those who are in possession of their Cures and Parishes? |
A36241 | Now how could the Magistrate pretend to promote or interrupt this Mystical communication between the Earthly and Heavenly Offices? |
A36241 | Now what can any one preteud, that has been suggested by the Doctor for securing himself against these just Inferences, from so unwary a Concession? |
A36241 | Thus the Apostle Reasons in the Case of maintenance: Do ye not know that they which Minister about Holy things, live of the things of the Temple? |
A36241 | Was it likely that so religious a Prince as David could prefer a private Person before the High Priest, only because he was his Friend? |
A36241 | What a Glory wou''d it be to them who are princpally engaged in it, to do what he invites them to? |
A36241 | What but a fruitless exasperation of their Persecutors? |
A36241 | What difference is there between this language, and that of the Doctor? |
A36241 | What else can be the meaning of those Words? |
A36241 | What if the Lords Spiritual and Temporal should turn it upon the Commons also? |
A36241 | What is it that either makes his Book need, or his Brethren so clamorous for, a Reply? |
A36241 | What is it therefore that he can pretend to have Answer''d in it? |
A36241 | What made him then not think on some better account than that he gives, why Zadok is preferred to Abiathar, even in the time of David? |
A36241 | What need of all this care, if they had thought it fit still to have regarded them only as particular Persons? |
A36241 | What then can their Contract signify, be it never so express? |
A36241 | What then will become of the Doctor''s imaginary Contract? |
A36241 | What then? |
A36241 | What therefore can our Adversaries desire more for satisfying the proper beneficial Notion of a Sacrifice? |
A36241 | When, O When, shall it once be? |
A36241 | Where then can be his Answer, if even himself grants all that we are concerned to assert in the Question principally disputed between us? |
A36241 | Where then can be his Answer, if even himself grants all that we are concerned to assert in the Question principally disputed between us? |
A36241 | Wherein then consisted that Appropriation of those Vestments to the High Priest properly so called? |
A36241 | Who full of Charity? |
A36241 | Who is Merciful? |
A36241 | Why should he desi ● e it of us, it his design had been to satisfy Conscience, either his own, or ours? |
A36241 | Why so, if he did not thereby own that the Reasons given by the Vindicator against the Argumentativeness of such Facts were Solid and concluding? |
A36241 | Why so, if there had been any reason that he should have been concluded by them? |
A36241 | Why so? |
A36241 | With the Jews, in these Words: Behold Israel after the Flesh: Are not they which eat of the Sacrifices, partakers of the Altar? |
A36241 | Would he have them fix publick Protestations against what has been done, in publick places? |
A36241 | Yet who doubts but England and France were then two distinst and perfectly independent Societies? |
A36241 | and betraying of the Ecclesiastical Rights, as Schismatical? |
A36241 | if notwithstanding GOD should accept of the Person rejected by him, and reject the Person obtruded by the Civil Magistrate? |
A36241 | who can bear it? |
A36241 | will our Adversaries say that she is? |
A36241 | † Why are there Strifes and Anger''s, and Divisions and Schisms, and War among you? |
A44308 | 1. Who are the men? |
A44308 | 2. Who are those worst? |
A44308 | And, Have not your Actions in the late lamentable times cast a Blemish upon the Honour of our Nation never to be washed off? |
A44308 | And, Have they told you( for no body else could) what sort of Non- conformists they would be? |
A44308 | Are all men bound to read your Books? |
A44308 | Are all the Presbyterians ejected and sequestred? |
A44308 | Are not different and decent Vestures by God himself appointed to his Priests in their publick and holy Ministrations? |
A44308 | Are not you they that say the Table of the Lord is polluted, his Meat is contemptible? |
A44308 | But how long will these Brethren be weak? |
A44308 | But why all this Complaint of your being cast out by the Bishops? |
A44308 | But, my Brethren, how come you to make this lowd Challenge? |
A44308 | But, my Brethren, why petition you for Peace? |
A44308 | Can you feed upon nothing but Bloud, yea, the Bloud of your Brethren? |
A44308 | Could ever any thing be said in so few words by the greatest Boautefew in the world, more seditiously, undutifully and uncharitably? |
A44308 | Could not all the publick Libraries or Booksellers shop furnish you with Books for A Sermon of Repentance? |
A44308 | Did he not answer his Arguments? |
A44308 | Did this Cure your Divisions and create among you Peace and Unity? |
A44308 | Did you not own and set up an Usurping Parliament against the King? |
A44308 | Do not the Bishops maintain, and the Church stedfastly continue in the Apostles Doctrine? |
A44308 | Do not you say, What a weariness is it? |
A44308 | Do they not serve God as the Apostles have taught? |
A44308 | Do they not? |
A44308 | For their Question, Where was our Religion 200 years ago? |
A44308 | From whom? |
A44308 | Hath Christ given such Laws? |
A44308 | Have they been deprived of their Livings wherewith the Law invested them? |
A44308 | Have they been silenced, plundered of their Goods, Books, Papers, shut up in Prisons, banished, martyred? |
A44308 | Have you herein submitted to his Majestie''s Declaration? |
A44308 | Have you now really changed your minds? |
A44308 | Have you suffered from your Brethren, from your fellow Subjects without and against Law? |
A44308 | Having and using Book but a Bible and a Concordance, as you say in your Epistle; How vain, how false, how rankly smells it of the Pharisee? |
A44308 | How can these Requests be denyed, in number so few, in nature so modest, religious and rational? |
A44308 | How can you tell us of hundreds of yours cast out, and your guilt not fly in your faces? |
A44308 | How doth this consist with your Profession in your Grand Debate? |
A44308 | How long? |
A44308 | How will Christ take it from you to cast out all Bishops and Episcopal men who durst not conform to you in your Matters? |
A44308 | If you may mistake in any thing, may it not be in such great things as these? |
A44308 | Is the Church a place, the Worship of God a season to exercise such Gifts in? |
A44308 | Is this the Counsel you would give to one who doubts and seeks your Resolution? |
A44308 | Is this to kill you with the Sword, that you can not kill your Brethren with the Sword? |
A44308 | Let me be bold to ask, Who of you are the men that have suffered? |
A44308 | May not all Zealots plead thus? |
A44308 | My Brethren, Quorsum haec? |
A44308 | Onely I ask you, Is this a likely Plea for Peace? |
A44308 | Pray, Sir, How came you by this Plerophy? |
A44308 | R. which implies, we lay our Religion upon our particular Liturgy, and so teach the Papists to insult, Where was our Religion 200 years ago? |
A44308 | Shall demonstrate to you further, how you take upon you the Pope, in both his claims of highest Power? |
A44308 | Tell you us, who have our Swords by our sides, of the Laws? |
A44308 | That may be soon done; for few or no obsolete words are in the Liturgy: but doth not God, do not we understand old and plain words? |
A44308 | They express their dislike of Kneeling at the Reading of the Commandments; did they never break any of them? |
A44308 | Was ever any thing more seditious, wild and contradictious to it self? |
A44308 | We crave leave to ask, Whether your selves do not in some things mistake? |
A44308 | Were they not ashamed, confounded and astonished at our Schisms and Seditions, and Violations of all Authority Sacred and Civil? |
A44308 | Were your Presbyterian Government set up, would you allow the Freedom you ask? |
A44308 | What Judgment did Mr. Beza give? |
A44308 | What Judgment did Peter Martyr pass in the Case of Bishop Hooper, about the Ceremonies? |
A44308 | What a Noise they make in almost every Paragraph, lamenting and repeating their Sufferings? |
A44308 | What a frightfull Bugg is a Surplice, that you dare not wear it in the Administration of the publick Worship? |
A44308 | What can you say worse against a Dioclesian, than to forbid the Ministers of Christ, not conforming, the Exercise of their Office? |
A44308 | What doth all you? |
A44308 | What have they suffered? |
A44308 | What is this to the Point in controversie? |
A44308 | What manner of Liberty of Conscience, wilt thou say, may there be in so great observation and wariness? |
A44308 | What troubles you? |
A44308 | What want of advantages for study in London? |
A44308 | What, excellent and worthy, and yet guilty and disorderly, defective, inconvenient, — How are these consistent? |
A44308 | Whether Ordination be a Ceremony? |
A44308 | Whether Saint Paul had Lawn Sleeves? |
A44308 | Whether a Ceremony hath any thing belonging to it de essentia? |
A44308 | Whether this be doing as you would be done by? |
A44308 | Who are those tender ones that dare not? |
A44308 | Who called to Arm? |
A44308 | Who promised Heaven to all that would take up the Sword in that blessed Cause of the Covenant? |
A44308 | Who were those that drew the Sword for Reformation? |
A44308 | Why did you not then( when it was in your Power, and the Staff in your hands) hearken to Bishop Vsher and those Episcopal Divines? |
A44308 | Why enquire you, or rather, Why presume you, what Judgment the Protestant Churches will make of our Churches proceedings? |
A44308 | Will they be Children of a Hundred years, after so long time and teaching, and means of Instruction? |
A44308 | Will this be a good Answer to the Lord at the great Day of Accounts? |
A44308 | Yes, for that time excellent and worthy: but at this time guilty, defective, — But pray what''s the difference between that time and this? |
A44308 | You might well have spared the mention of the Sword; Why do you expose your own Miscarriages to the review of the World? |
A44308 | and if they will not read or answer it, Why are you angry? |
A44308 | and, did they not oppose and disown all Episcopal Government? |
A44308 | and, is there not a Prayer subsequent to each of them? |
A44308 | and, under whom? |
A44308 | are you in good earnest? |
A44308 | did not his late Majesty of blessed memory offer as great condescentions as could be desired to your Divines at the Isle of Wight? |
A44308 | did you not covenant against Episcopacy? |
A44308 | do you not still judge your selves obliged to keep your Covenant? |
A44308 | do you speak Verbo Sacerdotum when you make us believe you desire to obtain an Episcopacy? |
A44308 | exhort him to submit unto them? |
A44308 | have you not Authority on your side? |
A44308 | have you not Declaration upon Declaration, Ordinance upon Ordinance, Order upon Order to back you? |
A44308 | have you not all the Church livings in the Kingdom? |
A44308 | how long? |
A44308 | if not, where is the blame? |
A44308 | is it not Peace? |
A44308 | is not his Prayer made up of meer Generals? |
A44308 | must our Devotions as our Garments be changed after the new Fashions or Modes of times? |
A44308 | must we be rhetorical, quaint and curious; complement God in our Prayers? |
A44308 | must we change our Religion with the times? |
A44308 | must we coin new ones to please him and our selves? |
A44308 | must we have a temporizing worship? |
A44308 | vindicate the lawfulness of them? |
A44308 | we have the same Doctrine, the same Sacraments, the same Government; and why should not we have the same Worship? |
A44308 | what Guilt hath our Liturgy contracted by time? |
A44308 | what have you suffered? |

A44308 | who have been your Persecutors? |
A44308 | would you be cast out for every fault that is as bad as this? |
A52421 | * By what Authority doest thou these things, and who gave thee this Authority? |
A52421 | * For if the Ministration of Death was glorious, how shall not the Ministration of the Spirit be glorious? |
A52421 | * Is Christ divided? |
A52421 | * Is it a small offence to despise the Church of God? |
A52421 | * Thus shall you say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, what hath the Lord answered, and what hath he spoken? |
A52421 | 2. Who were the Authours and Composers of these, of our Church? |
A52421 | ? |
A52421 | A Lamb at the Evening* as well as a Lamb in the Morning? |
A52421 | Again,* There is one Body, one Spirit, one Hope, one Lord, one Faith,& c. And, † is Christ divided? |
A52421 | And a Person so lawfully suspended by Authority, as is said, may he in such a case execute the Office of the Ministry, or may he not? |
A52421 | And can we not close and communicate together in the Worship and Service, of that one blessed Creator, mercifull Saviour, and most sweet Comforter? |
A52421 | And doth God look for order among sticks? |
A52421 | And doth he not much more require order to be kept in the use of those means, by which he hath appointed to bring Souls to Heaven? |
A52421 | And how can they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? |
A52421 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
A52421 | And how shall they preach except they be sent? |
A52421 | And if men are willing to submit to the Penalty of the Law, is not that sufficient to discharge the Conscience from the guilt of disobedience? |
A52421 | And if the Jewish Church had that power, why then hath not the Christian the like? |
A52421 | And if the Kings of Israel might execute such power, why not the Kings of England also? |
A52421 | And if ye found Christ walking amongst us, how is it, that 〈 ◊ 〉 do now leave us? |
A52421 | And is Discipline so needfull in an Army, and can it be thought needless in the Church? |
A52421 | And may Christians then play at sast and loose with the bonds of holy Communion at their pleasure? |
A52421 | And not to be set on a Candlestick? |
A52421 | And thus endeavour to undermine and destroy so godly and legal an Establishment? |
A52421 | And what doth let, but that we may observe both, when they are not one to the other in any sort repugnant? |
A52421 | And who may not observe, their constant and studyed withdrawing from the use of it? |
A52421 | And whom do the men( we are speaking of) most prevail upon, and draw after them? |
A52421 | And why? |
A52421 | And will it be safe for any to follow such a President? |
A52421 | And † St omnis anima, cur non est vestra? |
A52421 | Building the Church is but an orderly joining the materials; and what then is disjoyning, but pulling down? |
A52421 | But how shall we attain to be masters of this Art of quietness? |
A52421 | But is not suffering, obedience? |
A52421 | But what saith St. Paul to all this? |
A52421 | Can he be the head of such divers and disagreeing bodies, being himself but one? |
A52421 | Can ye allow of one self same Gospel, as Christ''s, being uttered by one Man, and loath it being uttered by another? |
A52421 | Dare ye to withdraw at any time from God''s presence, whose face at all times ye are † commanded to seek? |
A52421 | Did Christ separate from the Church of the Iews, and not hold Communio ● with her, because she was not what she had, or ought to have been? |
A52421 | Did ye ever reade of true conversion ordinarily in false Church? |
A52421 | Do not the Histories of all Ages give in evidence to the evil tendency of these private, seditious, and unlawfull meetings? |
A52421 | Doth not the Apostle † from this very ground argue the truth of his Apostleship? |
A52421 | Doth not the prophet say the quite contrary? |
A52421 | Doth not this harden them in their Superstition and Idolatry, avert them from our Church, and make them sit down in the scorners chair? |
A52421 | For first, may not the same be said of almost all the Arguments that are? |
A52421 | For there is nothing hid that shall not be manifested? |
A52421 | For what is a Church without order, but a kind of an Hell above ground? |
A52421 | For what sweet Doctrine of Christ, his Person, or Offices, can you hear there, which you can not or may not hear in the publick? |
A52421 | For what warrant have they to meddle with other Mens Flocks? |
A52421 | For who is † Paul, and who is Apollo? |
A52421 | For, I would demand of them, doe they well, or ill, when they come? |
A52421 | For, if it were an excellent and worthy work then, what hinders, but that it is so now? |
A52421 | For, † how can they call upon him in whom they have not believed? |
A52421 | He will say as Achish,* Have I need of mad- men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad- man in my presence? |
A52421 | How can they exist as members of Christ''s body, which have left their coupling and conjunction, with the other members of the same? |
A52421 | How? |
A52421 | I ask him again, whether hath not he commanded the publick Service of the whole day, as well as a part? |
A52421 | If every soul, then the Souls of Ministers as well as others: For who excepted them from the universality? |
A52421 | If ill; why then come they at any time? |
A52421 | If the presence 〈 ◊ 〉 Christ, both of his power and grace, be with us, why do ye deny your presence? |
A52421 | If then we retain our Conjunction with Christ, why do ye refuse Communion with us? |
A52421 | If well; why then come they not at all times, when they may? |
A52421 | In what part of the World else is there such studious flocking and resort to Christian Churches, as here? |
A52421 | Is he divided from his Ministers, so as not to work by his Spirit, in the hearts of his People, with his word preached by one, as well as by another? |
A52421 | Is it because he hath commanded it, or to doe him any service thereby? |
A52421 | Is it in obedience to the Law of the Land, which forbids them to preach in publick? |
A52421 | Is our spiritual warfare of less danger of concernment than our bodily? |

A52421 | Nam si in humanis mensoe& salis communicatio, amoris causa est& signum, quanto magis i d erit in communione mensoe& panis Domini? |
A52421 | Non enim partes solum inter nos sunt, sed partium( ô patria quae salus te servet?) |
A52421 | Now if God be present with, and in our assemblies, how dare any that are, or ought to be Members thereof, absent themselves? |
A52421 | Of every Lord''s day, as well as of one now and then? |
A52421 | Oh what Musick is this in the Ears of Papists to hear of our discords? |
A52421 | Or say not the brethren of the Nonconformists the same? |
A52421 | Otherwise it would have been absurd for our Saviour to have said as he did † to Pilate, why askest thou me of my Doctrine? |

A52421 | Shall the Master''s will depend on the pleasure of the Servant, or the Servant''s upon the master''s? |
A52421 | St. Peter could say † Lord whither shall we goe? |
A52421 | That the nursing Fathers under the Gospel are abridged in Authority, of what they were under the Law? |
A52421 | The case proposed being, Whether they might, or ought not to preach, notwithstanding their being prohibited by man''s law? |
A52421 | The thing that a man can not obtain by himself alone, praying together with the multitude, he shall obtain; and why so? |
A52421 | Thieves and Robbers, and none of them true Pastours? |
A52421 | To know and love them dearly? |
A52421 | To what end should there be such flocking after them, unless their followers could be partakers of some spiritual benefit from them? |
A52421 | What Power the Church hath to make Laws, Canons and Constitutions? |
A52421 | What are they become inferiour to their Flocks? |
A52421 | What can they otherwise think, but that the God and Christ whom we all pretend to serve, is( what he abhors to be) the authour of confusion? |

A52421 | What gross absurdities would unavoidably follow, from such a manifest breach of order in the Church? |

A52421 | What is the subject matter of them? |
A52421 | What is this, but* to condemn the generation of God''s Children, which can not be well pleasing to their Father? |
A52421 | What moves them at any time to approach the place where God''s honour dwells? |
A52421 | What other Meetings are commonly called Congregations, or do challenge to themselves the name of Churches, but such Meetings as are in question? |
A52421 | What will very Pagans say, when they shall see Christians thus divided? |
A52421 | What, Brethren, have we not all one God, one Christ, one Spirit, one Baptism, one Scripture, one hope of Eternal Salvation? |
A52421 | Where order is wanting, what is a Kingdom but a Chaos of Confusion? |

A26965 | * But a Papist will say, who shall be Judge? |
A26965 | 1. Who ever questioneth it, that is considerate, as to an indefinite charge in the Church universal? |
A26965 | 16, 17. and the dreadful third Commandment; and tremble when I thought of death and judgment? |
A26965 | 4 Whether the said Ecclesiastical Head must be One as the High Priest, or an Aristocracy of many, or a Synod of the whole Clergy? |

A26965 | And can not the Sword be drawn without such as have no power of it? |
A26965 | And how is he able to say that no one man of them all is obliged by it to endeavour a lawful and necessary reformation? |
A26965 | And how ordinarily do many Gentlemen of the Church of England go from their own Parishes in London? |
A26965 | And if good Princes were but the tenth part as rare, as they thought that said[ In uno annulo]& c. what then would become of Religion in the World? |
A26965 | And if there must be a higher Bishop to deliver men from the injuries of a lower, who should deliver us from him, who may injure Kingdoms? |
A26965 | And if these Churches associate for meer concord and mutual help( and not for Governing Bishops?) |
A26965 | And if they know it not to be so why should they declare it to be so? |
A26965 | And if they will resolve the case into the question of fact, whether such different Ministers have usually different success? |
A26965 | And is it not a fleshly, proud and wordly mind( which is the work of the Devil) which is the importunate seeker? |
A26965 | And must we needs appeal to such? |
A26965 | And shall such Jesuits as Vasquez, such moderators as Erasmus, and Protestant Conformists, and Nonconformists, all thus speak for it, and yet no hope? |
A26965 | And so that under Heathen, Mahometan, Papist, Heretical Rulers, they must be all of their Religion, as to the external professing and practising part? |
A26965 | And then how knoweth every Minister in what sense every man in the three Kingdoms took it? |
A26965 | And was not the contention at the two Councils of Ephesus more stigmatized by Historians than this that Gregory so lamenteth? |
A26965 | And what is it that some men can not copiously and confidently talk for? |

A26965 | And yet are you sure what they meant? |
A26965 | And yet must we despair of a cure of so odious a disease? |
A26965 | And yet not in the Calendar and other passages in our Liturgy? |

A26965 | Are all those Church- members that Ministers are authorized to preach to? |
A26965 | Are not these doleful Narratives and Characters of those Primitive Bishops( even in those happy daies of good Theodosius? |
A26965 | Are we sure this Mass Book meant not pleniluniam as we do properly? |
A26965 | Are you such your selves? |
A26965 | Are you sure that this Mass Book should be our rule herein of speaking or interpreting? |
A26965 | Because a man is a Licensed Physician without me, doth it follow that he is my Physician without my consent? |
A26965 | Bishop Vsher himself told one of us, that being asked by his Sovereign whether he found that ever Presbyters ordained Presbyters? |
A26965 | But can a man deny notorious truth in reverence to Bishops? |
A26965 | But how much more if every sinner must appeal to a Patriarch many hundred miles off? |
A26965 | But if All must not lay down their Ministry, why must a thousand or two thousand do it rather than all the rest? |
A26965 | But if the question be only whether a National Priestly Soveraignty be lawful? |
A26965 | But it is, Whether all the faults of the Translation may be Assented, Approved and Consented to? |
A26965 | But shall all men gather Churches, and teach Heresie, and do what they will? |
A26965 | But what''s that to the question? |
A26965 | But when they were asunder were they setled,& did they keep the Churches in concord by these Councils? |
A26965 | Did the the Convocation intend that we should not here understand[ The full moon] properly, nor as in all the rest of the Book? |
A26965 | Do they secure any of the ends of Governments? |
A26965 | Do you differ in nothing? |
A26965 | Doth not the ordainer here say, Take thou Authority to Preach the Word of God,& c. when thou art thereto lawfully called? |
A26965 | Else it were at the will of a man whether souls shall be saved or damned,( for how shall they believe unless they hear? |
A26965 | Even as the blessed Apostle Paul exhorteth and saith, What if some of them have fallen from Faith? |
A26965 | How many Councils have been against Images in Churches, and how many for them, condemning one anothers acts? |
A26965 | How shall we be sure that other mens sinning will absolve the two thousand innocent from their duty? |
A26965 | I know some will say, were all these Councils of Bishops such fools in comparison of you? |
A26965 | If in the first Instant it be confessedly the equal duty of all, how will the weakness and sin of one part change the obligation of all the rest? |
A26965 | If so, then why saith the Canon that the Convocation[ is the true Church of England by Representation] and those excommunicate that deny it? |
A26965 | If the Churches be somehow supplied by mens sin, will it follow that truth and righteousness in sounder blameless men will not mend their supply? |
A26965 | Is it not enough that I know why I am unwilling to keep him, who am no way more bound to him than to others, but by my own consent? |
A26965 | Is it to be supposed then, that these were better than Priests? |
A26965 | Is there any Christian that dare say, that Bishops or Princes are in all things to be obeyed, lest the people be made Judges? |
A26965 | May I give away the needfull helps to my salvation, because others have them, as if their salvation might satisfie me instead of my own? |
A26965 | Nay, what if on such necessity they should accept of favour from any Papists that would save them? |
A26965 | Nor whether they may not be lawfully used where there is no better? |
A26965 | Or whether God hath ordained such a National Church- form, only by the general Command of doing all things in Order and Unity and to Edification? |
A26965 | Or whether they meant that all men should be forced and taught to subscribe or declare assent to that which they never understood? |
A26965 | Or with what face could I do it? |
A26965 | Our question is what constituteth the relations between a Pastor and his Particular flock? |
A26965 | P. 55, 56 ▪ The question, Whether this or that Oath be lawful? |
A26965 | Praesules? |
A26965 | Qui vero inter reliquos princeps Episcopus est, percontetur Presbyteros& populum an ipse sit quem praeesse petant? |
A26965 | Saith that such great places use to make Bishops worse than they were before, All history tells us what striving there was for such places? |
A26965 | Shall the people have any judgment of discerning or not? |
A26965 | Some say, If we take in a few moderate men like you, what the better are we? |
A26965 | Surrogates,& c? |
A26965 | THE Question stated § 3,& c. Whether we are obliged by or to the Jewish National Polity? |
A26965 | The question is not whether these faulty Translations were not a good work, and a great mercy to the Church, till we had a better? |
A26965 | The question is, What obligation there is in this case? |
A26965 | The question is, may we swear or Covenant to obey them? |
A26965 | The question therefore is, whether such Oaths, as necessary to a Bishops consecration, be to be Approved and consented to? |
A26965 | The second, Whether it be not such an Errour to require the bond of a Covenant beside the Baptismal Covenant? |
A26965 | Then answer your own objection: What remedy shall they have if the Bishop wrong them? |
A26965 | They say no, themselves: And next, whether it be not certain, and confessed, that the Pastors have no other power, but the Magistrates only? |
A26965 | This were an easie way to introduce any Errour, by forbidding any but the defenders of it to Preach? |
A26965 | V. And to the question, Whether the King be the formal, or only the accidental Church- head? |

A69915 | And may we not say that in these following particulars we do Symbolize with Idolatrous Rome herein? |
A69915 | And may we not truly say, as it was then, so it is now? |
A69915 | And so they dealt with his Followers afterwards; did they not draw Jason and the Brethren unto the Rulers of the City? |
A69915 | And speaking of that King of Phrigia, that was about to be baptized, ask''t the Bishop What was become of all his Ancestors? |

A69915 | But have they not appeared of late years very zealous and forward in Elections of Parliament- men, and other publick Officers in City and Country? |
A69915 | But have you disowned and witnessed against the Cruelties exercised? |

A69915 | If it be said, who hath Required all these Feasts, Fasts, Holy- days,& c. at our hands? |
A69915 | If this part of the Nonconformists Plea be true, where is the Crime? |
A69915 | If we must keep Holy- days for all the Apostles,& the other Saints of the Pope''s making, why not for the Patriarchs and Prophets? |

A27392 | And that by those who acknowledge it to be possible, and within their Power? |
A27392 | And that even Calvin, and the Presbyterians, Cartwright, Hildersham, and the Old Non- Conformists were unworthy your Communion? |
A27392 | And what is that greater good, but the gift of Heavenly affections in Prayer? |
A27392 | And what reason is there, why a Gesture shou''d be more defil''d by Idolaters, than Meat which they had Offer''d up in Sacrifice to Idols? |
A27392 | And why may not he that Praies Extempore, be as little affected with what he Praies for, before he has exprest it, as he that uses a Form? |
A27392 | And why then do the Independents exact such a Covenant of Baptiz''d persons, before they admit them to their Communion? |
A27392 | And why then may not the same be done in the Lord''s Supper? |
A27392 | Are not the Peace and Unity of the Church, things that ought greatly to sway with all Sober, Humble and Considering Christians? |
A27392 | Are you not more earnestly press''d in our Congregations to be throughly good, than in those where you think you profit more? |
A27392 | Are you satisfy''d in your Conscience to join in Communion with us; and will you not do it for the sake of the Church of God? |
A27392 | Because they did well, are we therefore to do worse? |
A27392 | But are conceiv''d Prayers the more Inspir''d, because the words are Extempore? |
A27392 | But it will be said; What shall a Man do? |
A27392 | But then, why do''s not the same Principle, that brings you at one Time, bring you at another? |
A27392 | But what is meant by Suspending Communion? |
A27392 | But what reason is there for this? |
A27392 | But what syllable or shadow of a Command is there in all the History for the use of any gesture in the act of receiving? |
A27392 | But why shou''d we not by Sudden Death understand our being taken out of this World, when we are not fit to die? |
A27392 | But, say they, why shou''d the phrase be us''d at all in such matters, if not commanded is not the same as forbidden? |
A27392 | By what Rule shall he chuse his Guide? |
A27392 | Did God continue the gift for no other end, but that Men might ask those things Extempore, which they might as well have asked in a Form? |
A27392 | Did you not come to Church but once or twice, and then conclude too hastily, that there was no good to be gotten there? |
A27392 | Did you not leave the Church, because, when you came, the Minister happen''d to Treat of a Subject cross to your opinion? |
A27392 | Do not many of your own way complain of their unprofitableness under your own Ministers, which arises perhaps from a natural dulness? |
A27392 | Do you, for instance, pay Reverence to God''s house, and come at the beginning of Service, and stand up and kneel with the Congregation,& c? |
A27392 | Do''s he not say, He that doubteth, is damn''d if he eat, v. 23. and that whatsoever is not of faith, is sin? |
A27392 | Do''s not this conceit arise from the foremention''d causes? |
A27392 | First Then, what is it that the Scripture attributes to the Spirit in Prayer? |
A27392 | For how can they excel others in knowledge or goodness, who are so easily drawn or tempted to sin? |
A27392 | For how often do we find the word apply''d to things that have no Voice at all? |
A27392 | For instance, what Order can there be, if Superiours may not determine, whether Prayers shall be long or short, and the like? |
A27392 | For our Saviour probably us''d a Leaning Gesture; and by what Authority do they change it to Sitting? |
A27392 | For then who could be innocent? |
A27392 | For they allow the People to sing Psalms; and why then may they not bear a part in the Hymns and Psalms by alternate responses? |
A27392 | For thus he resolves that Question, How or in what sense the Earth his Footstool may be worshipp''d without impiety? |
A27392 | For to what purpose is a Man a Member of a Society, if he can not enjoy the privileges of it? |
A27392 | For where, I pray, are they commanded to sprinkle the Children that are Baptiz''d? |
A27392 | Had you not some prejudice against the Minister you came to hear, either for his Conformity, or his strictness in it, and the like? |
A27392 | Has any Man a Scruple about his Estate, whether it be firmly setled, or he has a true legal Title to it? |
A27392 | How careful was he, both by his Example and Precept, to forbid and discountenance a separation upon that account? |
A27392 | How do they know, but that our Lord might have us''d another Gesture, if the Sacrament had been Instituted apart from the Passover? |
A27392 | I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing Vnclean of it self; but to him that esteemeth any thing Vnclean, it is unclean? |
A27392 | If it be lawful, why do you forsake it? |
A27392 | Indeed we must follow Christ and his Apostles; but in what? |
A27392 | Is God more taken with words, than with affections? |
A27392 | Is it not manifest, that partiality makes you not profit by our Sermons? |
A27392 | Is not that Man thought sincere, that acts as he believes; and that Man an hypocrite, that acts otherwise, whether his judgment be true or false? |
A27392 | May not a Man''s tongue run before his heart either way? |
A27392 | May not their Counsels be then more effectual with them, than ever they were before? |
A27392 | Now I beseech you to reason a little; If our Communion be sinful, why did you enter into it? |
A27392 | Now can any Man imagin, that those affections will be the less acceptable to God, because they are presented in a Form, and not Extempore? |
A27392 | Now consider, I pray; Do''s not God principally Regard the Frame of our Minds in Prayer? |
A27392 | Now if the Papists, nay if the Heathens us''d set Forms, because it was the fittest way for the Service of God; must we be forbidden to use them? |
A27392 | Now if the People may join in Vocal Praise, why may they not also join in Vocal Prayer? |
A27392 | Now is it not a hard case that the Devotions of Five hundred or a thousand Persons must be disturb''d by one Man''s disorders? |
A27392 | Now since this proposition is so certainly true, how many Men''s pretences to Conscience for their separating from us, are hereby cut off? |
A27392 | Now what they do on no reason, why may not we do on the best? |
A27392 | Now, as to the former of these prohibited things, who sees not, that''t is unnatural, and therefore not indifferent? |
A27392 | Or are they more Inspired, because they do generally more enlarge, and express the same Matter over again in different words? |
A27392 | Or that he was incapable of the sign, when he was capable of being wash''d from the attainder, which was the chief thing signify''d thereby? |
A27392 | Or to enter into a particular Church- covenant? |
A27392 | Our famous Hooker( g) saies, To solemn actions of Royalty and Justice, there sutable Ornaments are a beauty; are they only in Religion a stain? |
A27392 | P. What shalt thou get by Faith? |
A27392 | Shall he receive the Sacrament doubting as he do''s? |
A27392 | They expose Protestants as a Disunited People; and ask men how they can in prudence join with those, who are at Variance among themselves? |
A27392 | Was it not Schism, or Disobedience to Governours? |
A27392 | Was not the Minister, when you chanc''d to go to Church, treating of some distastful Subject, which you love not to hear of? |
A27392 | Was the Spirit continu''d only to vary phrases? |
A27392 | What if the points of Conformity be matters of dispute? |
A27392 | What is a wilful sin, or a sin against knowledge, but acting otherwise, than we were convinc''d to be our duty? |
A27392 | What needs all this stir and bustle? |
A27392 | What now is to be done? |
A27392 | What now shou''d be the ground and reason of this Variety both in Opinion and Practice touching the Gesture to be us''d at the Lord''s Supper? |
A27392 | When St. Paul thought himself bound in duty to persecute Christians, was his persecution sinful, or no? |
A27392 | Where are we told, that God will be angry with us for doing that, which he has not forbidden? |
A27392 | Who made them so? |
A27392 | Why can we never have your Company, but when Punishment or Advantage prompts you to it? |
A27392 | Why do they associate and combine together into distinct Congregations, as being purer, more select Christians than others? |
A27392 | Why shou''d not a submissive lowly deportment of body sute with this solemnity, as well as an humble lowly Mind? |
A27392 | Why shou''d you leave her thus Desolate and Forlorn, when her present Exigencies require your most Cordial Assistance? |
A27392 | Will a Father deny Bread to his Child, because he askt it to day in the same words, that he did yesterday? |
A27392 | and were you not willing to have this excuse for absenting your self wholly from it? |
A27392 | and why shou''d one be sinful and Idolatrous to use, and not the other? |
A27392 | desire,& c. which follow the words, be as great as those that go before? |
A27392 | or shall he forbear it doubting as he do''s? |
A27392 | or to receive the Lord''s Supper sitting? |
A27392 | or to touch and kiss the Book in Swearing? |
A27392 | or to use conceiv''d Prayers? |
A27392 | or will He refuse to hear us, because He dislikes the Garment of the Minister? |
A27392 | that is, really holy? |
A27392 | this censuring, disputing and dividing, about Standing or Kneeling? |
A70803 | & quomodo? |
A70803 | ( and who, besides the Light of Nature, have All the Instruments of Grace too,) if We shall sin against the light of so clear a Knowledge? |
A70803 | ( not to abuse our own Persons by any Intemperance or Debauch?) |
A70803 | ( not to rob him of the service, nor to defraud him of the honour that''s due unto him?) |
A70803 | ( unless I may except the Days of Hildebrand, when Hell is said to have broken loose?) |
A70803 | * Cùm quaeritur, Quid Tres? |
A70803 | 14? |
A70803 | 16. a Cum foeminâ semper esse,& non cognoscere foeminam, nonne plus est quàm mortuum suscitare? |
A70803 | And how was that, but by abstaining from the Appearance at least of all unrighteousness? |
A70803 | And if the Brightness of the Sun is enough to strike the Beholder Blind; How can we safely gaze on Him, to whom the Sun is but a Shadow? |
A70803 | And is not His Command that we do a Good thing, as valid as his Command that we abstain from what is evil? |
A70803 | And know ye not( saith S. James) that the Friendship of the world is Enmity with God? |
A70803 | And shall not God obtain a hearing, when he speaks to us by his Son? |
A70803 | And then how damning a Sin is Schism, whereof Haeresie is but a Part, as I shew''d before? |
A70803 | And then how easily do they fall, Even at every little thrust of Applause, or Plenty? |
A70803 | And therefore by this the Prophet David seeks to prove his Affection to God Almighty; Do not I hate them ▪ O Lord, that hate Thee? |
A70803 | And what numbers of Solifidians do make it difficult to be sav''d, by making it easier than God will have it? |
A70803 | And what, to live Godly, but to deal justly with God himself? |
A70803 | And what, when parted from the Soul, but the food of Worms? |
A70803 | And why for the Lord''s sake, if not because the Lord hath so appointed? |
A70803 | And why should that be, if not for want of true Belief, or else of due Consideration, that the Old and New Testament are God''s own word? |
A70803 | And why should this be so little heeded,( if''t is really believ''d) unless because it is so cheaply, and so commonly to be had? |
A70803 | But what kind of Abstinence is here intended? |
A70803 | But yet how many of our Fiduciaries do miss of heaven, meerly by thinking they can not miss it? |
A70803 | Can any Pride be more monstrous, than for vile Dust and Ashes even to Deifie It self? |
A70803 | Can any be farther from Humility, than They who know nothing, and yet are proud of their Knowledge? |
A70803 | Did ever People hear the like? |
A70803 | Do they make very long Prayers? |
A70803 | Do they pretend their being warranted by an immediate Revelation? |
A70803 | For Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, what are they all, but several Members or Concomitants of Schism? |
A70803 | For are not they the greatest Atheists, who( to use S. Paul''s words of the antient Gnosticks) profess to know God, but in their works deny him? |
A70803 | For how many Trades are there, very lawfull in themselves, which yet by us of the Clergy can not lawfully be driven? |
A70803 | For in the Infancy of the Church, before printing was invented, what care and cost were men at, to write out Copies of the Gospel? |
A70803 | For may we be at Peace with them, who will not be at Peace with God? |
A70803 | For one Scruple in the Conscience, how many are there in the stomach? |
A70803 | For what Pretense can they have for their separating from us, if they think us Christ''s Members, as well as They? |
A70803 | For what can be better in it self, than to side with the Spirit against the Flesh? |
A70803 | For what else can be the meaning of that saying in S. James, that if a man keep the whole Law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all? |
A70803 | For what is Plainness, but Perspicuity? |
A70803 | For what is the Body, in its original, but Dust and Ashes? |

A70803 | For what( I pray) is the Church of England, but a most Renowned and National Church? |

A70803 | For who would not fight even for fear, that he shall lose such a Reward? |
A70803 | Hast thou not procured this unto thy self, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God? |

A70803 | I beat my Body black and blue? |
A70803 | I had planted thee a noble Vine, wholly a right seed; How then art thou turned into the degenerate Plant of a strange Vine unto me? |
A70803 | If such attention was to be given to what was spoken onely by Moses to all the People, how much more to what is spoken by Jesus Christ? |
A70803 | If we can not well abstain from conversing with the Occasions, how much less from the Act of a pleasant evil? |
A70803 | If''t is our Duty to abstain from all Appearance of Evil, how much more is it our Duty, to abstain from all evil? |
A70803 | Is God''s permitting them to be prosperous, or to sin on with great Impunity, any Argument that he approves them? |
A70803 | Is it not that they prefer the gratification of the Ear to the Rectification of the Heart? |
A70803 | Is it onely in the negative, That we refuse not him that speaketh? |
A70803 | Is not God the same Jehova to Them and Vs? |
A70803 | Jews, upon whom he had bestow''d the first- fruits of his Preaching, and to whom he had offer''d the first Refusal of his Favours? |
A70803 | Know we not that Christ is in us by such Evidences as These? |
A70803 | Know we not that Christ is in us, by the Presence of his Spirit? |
A70803 | Know ye not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be Reprobates? |
A70803 | Now can there be any thing more adviseable, than that other mens mischiefs should keep us safe? |
A70803 | Now is not God''s Law as binding in what he bids, as in what he forbids his peculiar People? |
A70803 | Now to live righteously what is it, but to do justice ▪ unto our Neighbours? |
A70803 | Now what a Monster would our Church be, if every one of these Sects had the shaping of her? |
A70803 | Or is not his peremptory Command as obliging under the Gospel, as it was under the Law? |
A70803 | Or is the Gospel very destitute of what the world calls Wit and Eloquence? |
A70803 | Quod minus est non potes,& quod majus est vis credam tibi? |
A70803 | Quomodo ob Religionem Magni, quibus Magnitudo de irreligiositate provenit? |
A70803 | Shall I exemplifie and illustrate what I say by plain Scripture on either side? |
A70803 | Shall I make the Case clear, and undeniable by an Example? |
A70803 | Stand farther off, come not near me, for I am holier than Thou? |
A70803 | Such as our Sorrow for our sins past, our hatred of our selves in Remembrance of them, and our stedfast Resolutions of better life? |
A70803 | Then what Pretense can any have,( who are not Papalins Themselves,) to dread, or hate a Communion with us? |
A70803 | Varius Sucronensis, who does confidently affirm Aemilius Scaurus to be Guilty? |
A70803 | Vnde? |
A70803 | Well, ye have heard what it is not; will ye now know what it is, which God in Christ doth speak to us? |
A70803 | What can hinder them from converting the most Inhumane Combination or our blood- thirsty Enemies, into an Excellent Security against it self? |

A70803 | and we receive the whole benefit without the least danger of their unhappiness? |
A70803 | and what the Lesson, which all these Scriptures are apt to teach us? |
A70803 | because( forsooth) to the Regenerate''t is a Thing perfectly unavoidable? |
A70803 | by thinking Salvation is to be had at a cheaper Rate, than that of following Peace and Holiness? |
A70803 | have fallen away before our faces into the scandalous commissions of Schism and Haeresie? |

A71273 | ( 5) Had they not as full Authority, both Ecclesiastical and Civil, as was needful to establish that Reformation? |

A71273 | And are not these new likewise? |
A71273 | And as much is to be concluded from the 22 Verse, Hast thou faith? |
A71273 | And can there be Vnity without Obedience? |
A71273 | And does not Mr. Calvin say the same? |
A71273 | And from whence did the Apostle take the hint, to injoyn the Women to wear a Vail, and keep silence in the Church, but from the Custom among the Jews? |
A71273 | And have not the Independents their peculiar Terms of Communion too? |
A71273 | And in Matters of Religion, what Liberty can we justly claim, more than what Christ hath obtain''d, and his Grace conferr''d upon us? |
A71273 | And in fine what will all this amount to? |
A71273 | And is it not clear that the Change is solely in our selves? |

A71273 | And what will the issue be but this? |
A71273 | And why? |
A71273 | And,( 6) and Lastly, Have we not had God''s Blessing( while we Conform''d obediently to it) to assure us he was well- pleased with that Establishment? |
A71273 | Are the Terms of Communion numerically the same in the Greek and Latin Churches? |
A71273 | Are the Terms of Communion the same among the Lutherans and Calvinists? |
A71273 | Are there attempts upon the life of our dread Soveraign? |
A71273 | Are they excluded too? |
A71273 | Art thou called being a Servant? |
A71273 | Besides the Proofs already produced, is not this evident in the Practice of all Churches? |
A71273 | But do our Dissenting Brethren speak thus home to the Consciences of their followers? |
A71273 | But does not St. Paul contradict St. James? |
A71273 | But has the matter been duly weighed in an equal Ballance? |
A71273 | But if she were now alive might she not find just cause to expostulate with Subjects, as our Saviour did some time with his Disciples? |

A71273 | By what Law? |
A71273 | Came the Word of God from you, or came it unto you only? |
A71273 | Came the word of God out from you? |
A71273 | Can Christ fail of his end without any Obstacle in the Subject? |
A71273 | Can it be inservient either to Order or Decency, when there is no degree of Superiority and Subordination among the Ministers of the Church? |
A71273 | Can there be any reason or good Policy to cut of the locks of this Spouse of Christ, and Ecclipse her Glory? |
A71273 | Did not our Reformers use sufficient Means? |
A71273 | Did the Preaching of the Gospel proceed first from you, that we must dance after your Pipe? |
A71273 | Did the Queen and her Council therefore bend all there force against those Popish Conspirators, and indulge the Dissenters of the other Factions? |
A71273 | Did they not understand the sense and latitude of the Scriptures? |
A71273 | Do the Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of England stand thus high? |
A71273 | Do they acquaint the People with the Power wherewith the Church is invested by the King of Saints? |
A71273 | Do they declare that they may be used or let alone without Sin, till Authority does interpose about them? |
A71273 | Do they not Dogmatize them into ill Principles, and encourage the Practice thereof by their Example? |
A71273 | Do they not love to draw Disciples after them? |
A71273 | Do they represent the excellency and reward of obedience to Superiors, according to the Fifth Commandment? |
A71273 | Do they therefore lay open the Nature of things indifferent? |
A71273 | Do they think they can climbe up to Heaven by a Ladder of their own, when they place the foot of it upon ground of their own devising? |
A71273 | Do we pretend to be wiser than the Queen and her whole Council? |
A71273 | Does he not require us to avoid Offences, and follow Peace, especially with his Church? |
A71273 | Does not God require and delight in Verity? |
A71273 | Does this make any alteration in the substance of Religious Worship? |
A71273 | Endeavours have several waies and methods to exert and declare themselves: Is it by force of Arms, and with Garments rolled in Blood? |
A71273 | For have you not the same Crown, the same Sword, and the same Scepter still? |
A71273 | For how else can the Church be secure of their fidelity? |
A71273 | For what is it but a New Church which they attempt to set up? |
A71273 | For what signifies Superstition, but an immoderate fear? |
A71273 | For where''s the difference? |
A71273 | For why did he open them? |
A71273 | For, Have we Popish Plots now among us? |
A71273 | God is lookt upon as the Author and Efficient, for who can forgive sins but God only? |
A71273 | Had they not an eye to the Rules of Decency and Order, to God''s Glory and the Edification of the Church? |
A71273 | Have they forgotten that Levi paid Tythes in the loins of Abraham? |
A71273 | Have we designes on foot to extinguish the Protestant Religion, to Subvert the Government, and introduce the Popish Tyranny and Usurpation over us? |
A71273 | Have you not the same Government, the same Reformation, the same Religion, which was publickly profest, maintained and honoured in my Reign? |
A71273 | How can she trust them with the Sacred Office? |
A71273 | How much are these times degenerated? |
A71273 | How was Naaman cleansed of his Leprosie? |
A71273 | How? |
A71273 | I pray, from whence come these Wars and Fightings amongst us? |
A71273 | I would ask this Question; Do these Dissenters value those Homilies, or do they not? |
A71273 | If the Rites and Ceremonies imposed by this Church be part of worship: How came they to be so? |
A71273 | If we look into the constitution of the several Protestant Churches shall we not find variety of Customs, Rites and Ceremonies among them? |
A71273 | In the Change of Government and Discipline in the Church according to their Fancies? |
A71273 | Is it their duty to endeavour a Reformation? |
A71273 | Is not Schism a work of the Flesh as well as Murder, or Adultery? |
A71273 | Is not a wilful and groundless separation from the Mystical Body of Christ, a separation from Communion with him? |
A71273 | Is not the Confusion great, when things Indifferent are exposed for Necessary, and things Absolutely necessary accounted but Indifferent? |
A71273 | Is this the Charity which we ow to the Churches of God? |
A71273 | May we not extract such Spirits and Essences in Matters of Religion, and Divine Worship? |
A71273 | No distinction of Habits between the Laity and the Ministers of the Gospel, observed? |
A71273 | Now the question is, whether this Condemnation be just, or no? |
A71273 | Or came it unto you only? |
A71273 | Or do we take new Measures, espouse new principles and resolve upon new Models and Forms of Government? |
A71273 | Ponatur quod ille Scandalizetur de quolibet? |
A71273 | Should we endeavour to be devout and heavenly- minded at all times, and shall we be prophane in God''s House? |
A71273 | That the Church of England is not Reformed up to those Principles, who can make good the Charge against her? |
A71273 | The Apostle therefore does justly expostulate with them; Are you the prime and only Christians? |
A71273 | These Dissenters would have us comply with them: But in what? |
A71273 | They have erred from the way of Truth; and how so? |
A71273 | They say, they have read over all the Books,& c. But do they bring minds prepared to receive the truth, and Patient of convictions? |
A71273 | This is a Part of God''s Worship, but of whose Creating? |
A71273 | Thus our Author has Architectonically erected his Hypothesis: but the singulars are not yet determined: And what must be done for them? |
A71273 | To pull down the Pallisadoes and demolish the Fortifications of such a Fabrick? |
A71273 | To rob her of her Venerable Antiquity and Primitive Lustre? |
A71273 | Vnde enim turbae magnâ ex parte,( saith Sclater) nisi quòd imperiti nolunt imperiti esse, sed peritorum locum occupant? |
A71273 | Was she not accepted herein? |
A71273 | We acknowledge, saith Zanchy, that a Sacrament is a visible sign: But of what? |
A71273 | We should consider, whether there be any need of such Reformation as they endeavour? |
A71273 | Were there no Terms of Communion in it? |
A71273 | What Authority have you for it, and and who gave you that Authority? |
A71273 | What Doubts may arise upon such a Change, and what Confusion may follow it, who will take upon him to determine? |
A71273 | What Man( well in his wits) did ever feel the loss of his Christian Liberty, by putting a Gown upon his Cassock? |
A71273 | What a sad Spectacle is this to see that Church thus trodden under foot? |
A71273 | What if the sight of a Dial, puts me in mind, that my life is as a shaddow that departeth? |
A71273 | What marvaile then, if these your cruel distractions have awakened, yea, divided even to a variety the Judgments and Affections too of Christendom? |
A71273 | What may they not be carried up to by the imagination of the Spirit? |
A71273 | What shall we do, that we might work the work of God? |
A71273 | What then? |
A71273 | What was the true meaning of that Altar, forementioned? |
A71273 | What? |
A71273 | What? |
A71273 | What? |
A71273 | Where was the failure? |
A71273 | Who are they that cry out now against the Government, and talk of the great danger of Arbitrary Power? |
A71273 | Who can think the Church is Edified, where all Genuflexion, all Reverence, all evidences of a Devout mind are out of practice? |
A71273 | Who commanded all the Garrisons, Forts, Castles, Ships? |
A71273 | Who composed and commanded Olivers standing Army? |
A71273 | Who maintained, continued, and finished the War, and the Tragedy of the King''s Murder? |
A71273 | Who rul''d according to Will, without and against Law? |
A71273 | Who was it that animated the People to take up Arms for Defence of Liberty and Property( invaded only by themselves,) against the King? |
A71273 | Who were they that banisht his present Majesty, sought that life which could not have been preserved but by a Miracle? |
A71273 | Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? |
A71273 | Why did James, Cephas, and John give Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, but to be a sign and evidence of their Concord? |
A71273 | Why did they put on sackcloath and ashes, but to express their humiliation, and their sorrow? |
A71273 | Why of old, did they rent their cloaths, but to shew their indignation? |
A71273 | Why? |
A71273 | Would they have us comply with them against the Church of Rome, and the practices of the Jesuites? |
A71273 | Yet instances we have of this Opus operatum, as''t is wrought in the Body, and why may not these help us to apprehend what may be done in the Soul? |
A71273 | and are you the only wise men of the world, and are all the Churches else in dotage? |
A71273 | and back their Discourses with their example to lead them unto Conformity? |
A71273 | and do they not many times speak* perverse things to that effect? |
A71273 | and how is the Protestant Religion cry''d up for the flourishing condition of it under her Government? |
A71273 | and instruct them in their duty to that their Spiritual Mother, as the Spouse of Christ? |
A71273 | and who can deny the effect when we have God''s fiat for it? |
A71273 | in abolishing the Forms of God''s Solemn Worship, with the Rites of Decency and Order to promote the same? |
A71273 | or a Surplice over both? |
A71273 | quid fiet? |
A71273 | shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, or in the spirit of meekness? |
A71273 | was not that as great a matter as this they stumble at? |
A71273 | when we are about his Worship and Service shall we be prophane then, for fear we should be accounted Superstitious? |
A71273 | — In this case, if they be Traitors heady, highminded,& c. Who will wonder? |
A71273 | † Quid ergo, licet esse in fide infirmum, licet in errore positū permanere? |
A71273 | ⸫ Do not some of our Dissenters give the like Scandal to their Disciples? |
A30390 | And I appeal to your conscience, whether it be a likelier way to advance Religion, fighting or suffering? |
A30390 | And did you not cruelly persecute all those who opposed you? |
A30390 | And first, The half of their Sermons were upon publick matters: and what did these concern the Souls of the poor people? |
A30390 | And first, what think you of your rebellion? |
A30390 | And for Communion, why should not sick persons receive on death- bed, when all the reasons of receiving are most strong? |
A30390 | And for what end were you often so bitter to absents? |
A30390 | And how impudently did the Church countermand the State, Anno 1648. even in Civil matters? |
A30390 | And if they think it a fault, how comes it that none of them offers to disclaim it? |
A30390 | And to conclude, how wretchedly did you abuse this? |
A30390 | And was it not a contradiction, to make them swear against Worship in an unknown Tongue; and yet in that very Oath so to use it? |
A30390 | And what cursed doctrine is it Naphthali broacheth concerning private persons their punishing of crimes in case of the supinnesse of the Magistrate? |
A30390 | And what imaginable ground is there that the people shall all with their voice join in the Psalms, and not also in the Prayers? |
A30390 | And what kind of reasons can you have, who plead so much for a liberty in Prayer, and yet allow none in making of Hymns? |
A30390 | And what order was there in Families, morning and evening? |
A30390 | And what strange doctrine is it, to tax an obedience to the Laws of the Kingdom( when in our consciences we can so do) as time- serving? |
A30390 | And who should expect, that they who are so much against reverence to Sacred Houses, should likewise be against private Sacraments? |
A30390 | And who taught you to separate it from the rest of the solemn worship, and not have it every Lords day? |
A30390 | And why may not a Church- man officiat in a Surplice, as well as a penitent put on Sack- cloath? |
A30390 | And ● ow unhandsome is it, that we will not testifie that reverence to God, we would shew to a man, were ● he but a few degrees above us? |
A30390 | And, first, what a ridiculous fancy is it, to say, Children can be bound by their fathers Oath? |
A30390 | And, first, why do not your Ministers join with our Courts for Church- discipline? |
A30390 | As also, whether is it liker, that the Church then, alwayes in the fire of persecution, was purer then she is now? |
A30390 | As for their persons and Gifts, where is Christian charity, that should make you slow to take up a bad impression upon slight grounds? |
A30390 | As for your National Covenant, what a cruel imposing upon Consciences was it, to make a Nation swear an Oath, which they could not understand? |
A30390 | Beside, are not your Meeter Psalms a device of men? |
A30390 | Beside, where was it ever heard of, ● hat a Church- office was taken from any, without ● fault? |
A30390 | Besides, who told you that all David''s Psalms were to be constantly used in Worship? |
A30390 | But as for your Discipline, what warrand of Scripture have you for it? |
A30390 | But further, in what place of Scripture read you your classical Subordination of Sessions to Presbyteries,& c? |
A30390 | But how little were you in secret reproving faults? |
A30390 | But if your grounds be good, where is your charity to the Church? |
A30390 | But waving this, whether judge you the Presbyters power for Discipline is founded upon a Divine Law, or upon the Act of Parliament? |
A30390 | But what can you pretend, for your peoples withdrawing from our Churches? |
A30390 | But what great things of devotion, or holinesse, appear amongst you? |
A30390 | But what unchristian work is it, thus to disgrace us? |
A30390 | But why do you not believe the prayer composed by the Church, to be of the Spirits dictating, as well as that of your Ministers? |
A30390 | But, are not most of you Apostates, Changlings, and Time- servers? |
A30390 | But, how little reason will suffice to let a man see through that canting? |
A30390 | But, who told you, it was in the Fathers Commission? |
A30390 | C. And why may not you have a Directory for words, as well as things? |
A30390 | C. God forbid but he be? |
A30390 | C. Next, why wanted you Evangelists, since there are still men who have peculiar eminencies in preaching? |
A30390 | C. This is like you, still to devise fancies against expresse Scripture; where sayes the Scripture, that was done to please the Jews? |
A30390 | C. This ought to be the great design of our lives; for, wherein shall it avail us, if we shall gain the whole world, and lose our own souls? |
A30390 | C. Truly I am sorry, I saw so little of it: what ● rreverence is it, that when prayer is in the ● hurch, most of you ● it on your breeches? |
A30390 | C. Whether do you think it fitter in the Mysteries of ● aith to keep close to ● ● rms of Scripture or not? |
A30390 | C. Who would not be sick with such pitiful folly? |
A30390 | C. Why then doth he not determine how his Church should be governed, as to the civil matter, since Justice is a part of his Law, as well as devotion? |
A30390 | Do you think prayer for a blessing, is not a prayer? |
A30390 | Finally, what cruelty is it, if a Minister be put from his place, be it justly or unjustly, that the people should be starved? |
A30390 | For your grea ● men, how strangely did they involve themselve ● in all businesses? |
A30390 | Further, let one with a short- hand, follow that mans prayer, who you say prayes by the Spirit; then, may not that prayer be read and used over again? |
A30390 | God bless me from the pride of comparing my self with these worthies, who were honoured to convert the world, and to die for the truth? |
A30390 | How are all things there? |
A30390 | How did the Apostle St. Paul become a Iew to the Iews? |
A30390 | How fierce were you one against another, in your Papers, Sermons, and Prayers? |
A30390 | How much good preaching there was amongst us? |
A30390 | How often was that sacred Prince charged with Popery, Tyranny, and the Massacre of Ireland? |
A30390 | How patent a way otherwise may this prove, for venting and broaching errours, and heresies? |
A30390 | How well was the Sabbath observed amongst us? |
A30390 | I shall end all this with an instance of great importance, who taught you the change of the Sabbath? |
A30390 | I. SHall that which was design''d to end our toils, Increase our flames, and raise new broils; And must we triumph in our Brethrens spoils? |
A30390 | In word, what jealousies had you justly raised in th ● hearts of Princes, of your Government? |
A30390 | Is this the moderation you so much pro ● esse? |
A30390 | Let me then examine you a little, how do you know your opinions are truths? |
A30390 | Looks not this like the spirit of the Devil? |
A30390 | May they not as well exercise Discipline, though they can not do it with all the liberty they desire? |
A30390 | Must Rome be damn''d as Antichrist, Because it to unerring Chair pretends; And forth as Oracles its dictates sends? |
A30390 | N. But all this is still contrary to the holy men of God: What sad complaints are in the Psalms and Prophets, and chiefly in the Lamentations? |
A30390 | N. But are not we bound to duty to the King, because of the Allegeance our fathers swore, even though we never swear it our selves? |
A30390 | N. But did not the Bohemians, under Zisca, fight and resist when the Challice was denied them? |
A30390 | N. But doth not the Spirit help our infirmities, and teach us to pray? |
A30390 | N. But how must we enter into that state of divine union? |
A30390 | N. But how was Adam oblidged for his Posterity, if Parents can not binde their children? |
A30390 | N. But if that was Rebellion, how did the late King of Britain give assistance to the Rochellers in the last Wars? |
A30390 | N. But if we think you are wrong, can we joyn with you? |
A30390 | N. But nothing of this can be alledged to palliat the French civil Wars? |
A30390 | N. But what a confusion is it, that all say some of the prayers together, and use Amen? |
A30390 | N. But what can you say for kneeling in receiving? |
A30390 | N. But what say you to the Elders that rule well? |
A30390 | N. But what vain repetitions are in the Liturgy? |
A30390 | N. But why do not you sit? |
A30390 | N. But why must it be done only by a Bishop ▪ as if it were beyond Baptism? |
A30390 | N. Call you fighting for God and his Cause, rebellion? |
A30390 | N. Did you never observe the great devotion ● our worship? |
A30390 | N. Do you not wonder at my patience, who hear you inveigh so bitterly against us? |
A30390 | N. Doth not the fathers debt oblidge the son? |
A30390 | N. How can we acknowledg them our Pastors, who are intruders, and are in the places of our faithful shepherds, whom you have torn from us? |
A30390 | N. How can we neglect the interests of Christ, and let them ruine, when we are in a capacity to defend them? |
A30390 | N. How can you deny, that what is now cried down, was the work of God? |
A30390 | N. How can you speak so, was not sin strangely born down in our dayes? |
A30390 | N. How did they of Antioch send up to these at Ierusalem? |
A30390 | N. How then do Parents vow for their children in Baptism? |
A30390 | N. How then is Saul charged, and his children punished for killing the Gibeonites? |
A30390 | N. How then must I examine any perswasion, to know if it be conscience, or not? |
A30390 | N. I had resolved to have objected that to you, and I am sure we can not be guilty of it, since there is nothing we hate more? |
A30390 | N. I see you are for set- forms: but what reason have you for them? |
A30390 | N. I think this is very clear, but why do not you use the terms of the Protestant ● Church? |
A30390 | N. Is this all then that is required to accomplish a Christian? |
A30390 | N. No, no, but oh how doth my heart melt within me, when I remember how sweetly I have heard the Ministers there, clear up my interest in Christ? |
A30390 | N. Now you tax us for what we were very free of: Was ever sin so boldly reproved, as in our Pulpits? |
A30390 | N. The law of nature teacheth us to defend our selves, and so there is no need of Scripture for it? |
A30390 | N. Well, but why do you remember bygones? |
A30390 | N. Well, is not this a Popish Sacrament which you would bring into the Church? |
A30390 | N. Well, what make you of all this? |
A30390 | N. What can you say for holy dayes? |
A30390 | N. What mean you by this converse with God? |
A30390 | N. What say you of his Devotions, both private and publick? |
A30390 | N. What say you then to these who died sealing their opinion, fighting for Religion, with their blood? |
A30390 | N. What say you to the War in the Netherlands? |
A30390 | N. What sort of devout men could these be? |
A30390 | N. What then are the methods to be used by one that would lead a spiritual life? |
A30390 | N. What then conclude you from all this; is it that the English Liturgy be brought in? |
A30390 | N. What then is the great scope and design of Christian Religion? |
A30390 | N. What then make you of them, since you d ● not allow them to be spiritual doctrine? |
A30390 | N. What ● ay you of Justification by faith only? |
A30390 | N. Wherein consists that sweetness you say is to be found in divine converse? |
A30390 | N. Wherein could Episcopacy have been mor ● for the good of Scotland? |
A30390 | N. Who can doubt of it? |
A30390 | N. Whoever may object that, you may be silent; for what severity have we felt? |
A30390 | N. Why do not you use it, since you can not refuse the Scripture more than we? |
A30390 | N. You have sufficiently vindicated your self of Popery, but are you not Arminians? |
A30390 | Next, How did your Leaders complain of Bishops their medling in matters of State: and yet when the Scene turned, how absolutely did they govern? |
A30390 | Next, how want you Deacons? |
A30390 | Next, in your Worship, why do you not kisse one another with a holy kisse? |
A30390 | Next, why use you not washing of feet, since there is no Sacrament set down more punctually in Scripture? |
A30390 | Now as to our publick transgressions( if they be such) we are all equally guilty, why then make you a difference? |
A30390 | Now, if St. Paul did this freely, both to Jew and Gentile, are not you bound to more obedience, when not only charity, but duty to the Laws exact it? |
A30390 | Now, tell me what are your quarrels at Episcopacy? |
A30390 | Or do you think, the spirit is not stinted when the form is short, but only when it is long? |
A30390 | Or, do you mean to lay aside the Scriptures? |
A30390 | Psalm, in plain words, with a plain voice, as prayer, as well as in hobling ryme, with a Tune? |
A30390 | Shall I not trust a man in any matter, without understanding how he will discharge it? |
A30390 | Show me a reason why you may make prayers, and not praises? |
A30390 | Then, what a tr ● pane was it, to make the Nation swear the Cov ● nant, and by an after- game to declare that Epi ● copacy was abjured in it? |
A30390 | To conclude, why may not the Christian Church compose new Hymns, as they of Corinth did? |
A30390 | Was not this for bread, to give them a stone? |
A30390 | What fer ● our was on peoples mindes, when they heard Sermons? |
A30390 | What heavenly prayers we poured out to God? |
A30390 | What insolence was it, to assume bi ● names, of the godly party, and the people of God ● nd to call your way, The Cause and Kingdom o ● Christ? |
A30390 | What man of common sense can thin ● this was the Cause of God, which had such mo ● struous errours in its first conception? |
A30390 | Whether looks this like the Pharisees an ● Hypocrites, or not? |
A30390 | Whether then, Is it not necessary to redress these abuses by a regular form? |
A30390 | Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? |
A30390 | Who would not pity men who build upon such sandy foundations? |
A30390 | Whom heard you preach against the love of the world, seeking of esteem, quarrelling, seeking of revenge, anxiety and passion? |
A30390 | Why do you not therefore use this rite? |
A30390 | Why may the Church impose such dayes of penitence, and not as well order all for the sins of the year to be in penitence all the time of Lent? |
A30390 | Why then are ye so blind as to ● sk a reason for the change was made, as if at ● oon one should ask where were the Sun? |
A30390 | Why then do not ye use the Glory to the Father? |

A30390 | how many Ministers are turned out, and people oppressed for not owning you? |
A30390 | how often redouble they, Lord have mercy upon us? |
A30390 | how shall these pangs be recompensed, when we have broke thorow, and got into the blessed shades of the Garden of God? |
A30390 | is not this the device of men? |
A30390 | is not this to make us the servants of men, and to give them authority over our consciences; which is Gods peculiar power? |
A30390 | is this ● o approach unto God with the reverence be ● omes dust and ashes? |
A30390 | no doubt, you will say, the first: well then, can the abolishing that Act of Parliament take away your power? |
A30390 | or doth it not imply if we were of his council, we could adjust things better? |
A30390 | or what could th ● Kings reason be, for preferring it to Presbytery at least for judging it fitter for us? |
A30390 | or, is the Spirit in the prayer so volatile, that it evaporats in the saying, and the prayer becomes carnal when it is repeated? |
A30390 | since our Saviour did institute this rite in the Table- gesture? |
A30390 | who are mortifying themselves even in the lawfull pleasures of sense? |
A30390 | who are willing to be set at nought? |
A30390 | who bear crosses without murmurings? |
A30390 | who bear injuries without resentments and revenge? |
A30390 | who of you despise the world? |
A30390 | why do you not anoint the sick with oyl, as St. Iames commandeth? |
A30390 | why not also his oath? |
A30390 | why should they be confined to one charge, and not to be made to preach over a countrey, as they shall be called? |
A30390 | why then are we to vex our selves with any anxiety? |
A57579 | 18. Who am I, O Lord God? |
A57579 | 6? |
A57579 | After I had conversed with the Dead, am I now among the Living? |
A57579 | Alas, where had you and I been long ago, had God dealt with us according to our Sins? |
A57579 | And do we deserve better usage at the hands of God? |
A57579 | And do we think that his Patience will always let us alone, and not, after it has been the witness of our Idleness, turn to Fury, and cut us down? |
A57579 | And how odious must the Memory of such an one be that so made himself away? |
A57579 | And is that a frame that becomes a Creature and a Sinner, to his great Creator and final Judge? |
A57579 | And shall we not delight to draw nigh to so good a God, to whom is an easy Access through the Mediation of Christ? |
A57579 | And what is it when the Soul that gave it all its pleasant sensations, all its comlyness and lustre, is fled away? |
A57579 | And why should God be so good to you, and not to the rest of Men? |
A57579 | Be not over- much wicked, neither be thou foolish; why shouldst thou dy before the time? |
A57579 | But do you know what it is to die? |
A57579 | But what Miseries and Desolations have our Sins deserved, our Original Corruption and all that impure Offspring that has descended from it? |
A57579 | Can we so soon forget those dismal Hours when our Hearts beat with Fear, and we thought every Minute would be the last? |
A57579 | Can we so soon forget what Thoughts and Apprehensions we then had? |
A57579 | Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish People and unwise? |
A57579 | Do you not think your selves concern''d to eat and to drink, and to procure to your selves other Gratifications of Life notwithstanding this? |
A57579 | For shall we more easily part with things sumptuous and splendid, than with things that are meaner and less suited to a fleshly Mind and Life? |
A57579 | For what Good might two such great and holy Men have done, the one in Israel, and the other in England? |
A57579 | He has beseech''d and entreated us to forsake our Sin, crying to every one of us, Wilt thou not be made clean? |
A57579 | How busie and how unwearied is the Devil for our Ruin? |
A57579 | How can we ask our daily Bread from our most gracious Master, if we lay not out the refreshment we receive from it in his own Service? |
A57579 | How careful was he to set aside some of his Gains for the Charitable Relieving of the Poor? |
A57579 | How cold are our warmest praises to theirs above, who are all in admiration, Extasie and Love? |
A57579 | How freely dos he do us good when we could lay no Obligation at all upon him? |
A57579 | How little charming then were all its gayest Smiles, and how little terrible all its frowning Threats? |
A57579 | How many are dead since you were first ill? |
A57579 | How many are now in their Graves, over whom it may be truly writ, This Man killed himself with drinking? |
A57579 | How many are their Cares and Designs about it? |
A57579 | How many are there dead, since I was ill? |
A57579 | How many excellent Ministers whom you must never hear again? |
A57579 | How many of your Friends, your Neighbours, and your Fellow- Citizens are there, in whom there are no Signs of Life at all? |
A57579 | How many others has his Displeasure struck dead, whilst he suffers us that were as great Sinners as they were, to live? |
A57579 | How many thousand times do we sin every day? |
A57579 | How much Evil do we commit that we ought to forbear? |
A57579 | How much better is the voice of Gladness than the voice of Sorrow? |
A57579 | How much more desireable is it to such an one to be speaking in the Pulpit than to be silent in the Grave? |
A57579 | How much more pleasant is it to spend a day, yea many days, in chearful Praises, than to spend one hour in Sighs and painful Groans? |
A57579 | How often has his Justice seiz''d us for our Sins, and call''d upon him to cut us off, and his Mercy has interposed and saved our Lives? |
A57579 | How often have we said, that we should one day fall by this or that Distress, and he has held us up from our Birth to this very time? |
A57579 | How will they rise early and sit up late for a good Bargain, or a little Profit; and shall not we do as much to save our Souls for ever? |
A57579 | I have cause to do so; for how many has he suffered to sink, when the Waves were not so high against them, as those that rowl''d over me? |
A57579 | I speak to those of you that have been sick, having been so my self; with what care and Compassion did this good God remember us? |
A57579 | I will hear his Word with more Reverence, and read it with more Care? |
A57579 | I will with more frequency and impartiality it search and try my own Soul? |
A57579 | If we abuse his Mercy, what Plea can we hope to make? |
A57579 | If we look but upon a Friend an hour after he is dead, how is his Countenance changed? |
A57579 | In the same is our Life to finish, our Works to be examined, and we are then to know how it will go with us for ever and ever? |
A57579 | Is it not a wonderful thing that so great a God will take care of us when he needs not our Services, nor all the Duties we are able to perform? |
A57579 | Is it to much purpose to paint a little Dust and Ashes? |
A57579 | Is this the manner of Man, O Lord God? |
A57579 | It is a saying to which dayly Experience gives a Confutation: For how many are there that are groaning under Pains both very long, and very sharp? |
A57579 | It is easy to kill and ruin and destroy, that we can all do too well; but who can recover and save but he alone? |
A57579 | Let us pray for them as we would for our selves in the like case; who knows but God will hear our Prayers for them also? |
A57579 | Let us sin no more, for after such a deep distress, and such a miraculous deliverance how hateful will our Sins be? |
A57579 | Let us that have been sick, consider what an interruption that Sickness has made in our Life? |
A57579 | Lord, what is Man, that thou art mindful of him? |
A57579 | O what Miseries belong to Men, which you have yet escaped, and for which you have great cause to be very thankful? |
A57579 | O, can I ever do too much for that God that has done so much for me? |
A57579 | Oh what Faith, what Courage, what Strength is necessary to Conquer the Fears of Death, and Death it self? |
A57579 | Oh what a Joy would it be, if God would save England with a Spiritual Deliverance; if he would save us from those Sins that expose us to his Wrath? |
A57579 | Oh what a comfortable thought is this? |
A57579 | Oh what a pleasant thing is it to a Believer to have the sweet foretastes of heaven here, and hereafter to enter into the joy of his Lord? |
A57579 | Shall we affront his mildest and most tender Attribute? |
A57579 | Shall we trample on his Forbearance, and on his very Bowels? |
A57579 | So in this Case we may say what manner of persons ought they to be who must quickly go into Eternity? |
A57579 | Some will say, What need we to pray for long Life? |
A57579 | That when I had mock''d him with so many cold and lazy Prayers, he should give me opportunity to pray again? |
A57579 | Then we may say indeed, Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave where is thy victory? |
A57579 | Thou hast delivered my Soul from Death, wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before thee in the Land of the Living? |
A57579 | Was not this our Language, If I may have but a few more Talents bestowed upon me, I will emprove them better than I did before? |
A57579 | We are Pilgrims and shall we be so industrious to plant and build, and sow in a strange Country, when we confess we are distant from our home? |
A57579 | We did then live many days and years in ease, but how few of all those did we really spend for the Glory of God and our own Salvation? |
A57579 | We have wanted nothing, God has maintained us all our days, and shall we sin against Goodness and Love it self, such great, such undeserved Love? |
A57579 | We praise God here on Earth but alass how low and how weak are our Praises to what he deserves for his own Excellencies, and for his Mercy to us? |
A57579 | Were there any peculiar Excellencies in you more than in others to recommend you to his Favour? |
A57579 | What Care do men use if they are but about to Transplant themselves into some Foreign Countrey, what Inquiries do they make about it? |
A57579 | What Company was it which we then most admired? |
A57579 | What Curses may come to you who have careless Parents that suffer you to wander in the way of death? |
A57579 | What Havock and Murder, and Desolation is made in the World by the force of the Sword and the violence of unjust Wars? |
A57579 | What Man would set himself to adorn his Inn, from which he may dislodge the next morning, and it may be, never see it any more? |
A57579 | What Prince is there that would give money from his Treasures to carry on a War against his own Crown, or to support a Rebel? |
A57579 | What Thing, what Service is there, that I may set about, to testify my Thanks to my gracious Benefactor? |
A57579 | What a Comfort is it to the Children of good Parents, that they can pray to their Fathers and their Mothers God? |
A57579 | What a Mercy do you enjoy to be brought from a state of Wrath and Condemnation, into a state of Peace and Favour? |
A57579 | What a Mercy is it to have Life and time wherein to perform so many good Works for the advantage of our Neighbours? |
A57579 | What a cold damp did the sight of death bring upon all our former joys? |
A57579 | What a low and contemptible thing did this so much adored World seem to be when we were just about to leave it? |
A57579 | What a mercy is it when a man after many long and weary steps on Earth is going stored with Experiences and a well- grown Faith to his Journeys end? |
A57579 | What a vain thing is our Body, and how vain are the Projects of Men for the preservation of it? |
A57579 | What am I that I should live by thy Goodness, when I have so often deserved to die by thy Justice? |
A57579 | What am I, a poor Worm of the Earth, that thou shouldst so mercifully regard me? |
A57579 | What am I, that when I had spent so much of my Time to little purpose, thou shouldst give me still more time? |
A57579 | What an Impression many times does an unbecoming Word leave upon the Hearer for many years after? |
A57579 | What can a miserable Beggar add unto a Prince that gives him an Alms? |
A57579 | What can we by our mean Acknowledgments return to the Mighty God? |
A57579 | What can we poor Creatures give to so good a God for all his Mercies? |
A57579 | What cause have we that are returned to some measure of Health, to return Thanks to God for it? |
A57579 | What cause of Joy should we have, if the Mercies we have already received were sanctified and improved? |
A57579 | What did we then think of time, when our glass was even running out, and our day covered with the shadows of the night? |
A57579 | What does the Great God obtain by all his Acts of Bounty to his Creatures, but a Revenue of praise? |
A57579 | What is all the Meat and Drink that refresh our Bodies, to that Heavenly Manna, that Celestial Nourishment that an healthful holy Soul feeds upon? |
A57579 | What shall I do that may bear some proportion with so great a Mercy? |
A57579 | What shall we do for that God, who is the God of our Lives; who has taught us what we are to do by a very sharp and terrible Visitation? |
A57579 | What vexations may you Parents meet withal in disobedient Children, that may send you mourning to the dust? |
A57579 | What will your softest Raiment and your finest Cloaths avail a decaying Body, which God hath clothed with the Garment of Heaviness? |
A57579 | What would the poor People in Hungary and in the Palatinate, give to have so much peace and quiet, as we now injoy? |
A57579 | When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the Night be gone? |
A57579 | When I look back upon the rough Waves, and the stormy Seas, I am ready to say, Can it be that God has brought me safe to Land? |
A57579 | When shall we all be thankful if not now, when he has cast our Lot in an Age of Wonders and of Mercies? |
A57579 | When we were near to Death, what Seriousness, what Zeal, what Holiness did we then vow to God? |
A57579 | When will our hearts glow with Love to God, if not when his Sun shines upon us with such comfortable and reviving Beams? |
A57579 | Where is his former Comeliness and Beauty, his ancient Grace or his lovely Features? |
A57579 | Which of us would suffer a barren and unfruitful Tree to Cumber the Ground for many years? |
A57579 | Which of you would keep a Servant in your Family, and give him all necessary Accommodations, and yet be content to see none of your Work done? |
A57579 | Who is it that by constant Exercises of Religion makes his Family as a Little Church when he is at home? |
A57579 | Who is it that walks so circumspectly, as to be unblameable, and without Offence? |
A57579 | Who is there among us that hath those serious and abiding and lively Thoughts of God that he ought to have? |
A57579 | Who is there that in his Trade and worldly Business maintains his Commerce with Heaven, and with spiritual and pious Ejaculations? |
A57579 | Whom did we esteem the most excellent and happy People? |
A57579 | Why is Light given to a Man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? |
A57579 | Why should we set our selves with so much application to regard our Bodies? |
A57579 | Will all the Finery in the World procure for us a sweeter slumber in the Dust? |
A57579 | Will you come and stand before me and say you are delivered to do all these abominations? |
A57579 | Would we have him to spread our Table, and to fill our Cup, that we may sin against him? |
A57579 | Would you not with Anger turn him off? |
A57579 | am I now with People under Hope? |
A57579 | and how much Good that we ought to perform, do we let alone? |
A57579 | and if we knew not what to do in our former trouble, what shall we do in the next and more terrible Visitation? |
A57579 | and shall we shrink at any Labor, when we have the advantage of that evil Spirit? |
A57579 | and what is my House, that thou hast brought me hitherto? |
A57579 | blessed be the Name of the Lord, I am? |
A57579 | how afraid was he of imposing upon others, or of cheating them with many good words, whilst he had deceitful intentions in his heart? |
A57579 | how rare a thing is this mutual praise? |
A57579 | or the Son of Man, that thou visitest him? |
A57579 | that a God whom I had so frequently and so heinously provoked, should spare me to recover Strength? |
A57579 | that so I may repent of my careless Hearing, my Lukewarmness and my Unbelief? |
A57579 | what need we sollicite God to no purpose, or tire him with our Prayers? |
A57579 | what other end does he design in all his Mercies? |
A57579 | when shall it once be? |
A26964 | ''T is an hard question, whether all Children in England be regularly admitted( as you may expound the words) by Baptism into the Church, yea or not? |
A26964 | A little before the black Bartholomew, one of the foresaid in discourse enquired of me, what mine intentions were? |
A26964 | And are not Children in our days received by Baptism in the same way, and upon the same terms and conditions, as from the beginning? |
A26964 | And now why tarriest thou? |
A26964 | And why will you lay a charge upon these, of doing what in reason ye can not but be convinced they are not in a condition to perform? |
A26964 | But I forbear to bring in any new Objections, only give me leave to ask you this question, How you can fairly wave this dispute? |
A26964 | But I would gladly be informed how, and in what manner this evil Spirit fled? |
A26964 | But how? |
A26964 | But if you will thus incroach presumptuously from your own head and heart, why am I bound to give credit unto you? |
A26964 | But in the interim I wonder how the Bride and the Bridegroom could abide by it? |
A26964 | But in the interim, are not they guilty of Sacriledge? |
A26964 | But is nothing more expected from them? |
A26964 | But is the devil capable of smelling? |
A26964 | But is this a reason, say you, to break Communion with a Church, let any man judge? |
A26964 | But it is now more than high time to be serious; Has therefore a Spirit flesh and bones? |
A26964 | But now are the Condemned ever known to escape from the Hangman, after he has Noosed them in the Halter, and actually trussed them up? |
A26964 | But now is this their chief study and intendment? |
A26964 | But now shall their Babes upon this account be denyed their birth- right? |
A26964 | But now shall these be thought worthy to be the Embassadours of God, and the Representatives of Christ? |
A26964 | But now who are their under- shepherds? |
A26964 | But now who shall presume to tell, as to hic& nunc( when this and another Child is baptized) concerning the certain concurrence of both these? |
A26964 | But quo warranto? |
A26964 | But though the good man slept with his eyes open, how could two sparrows joyn by a Conspiracy against him to make him blind? |
A26964 | But what do you imagine, the Declaration binds the Minister only to say over those Prayers, and not to pray them, or pray in them? |
A26964 | But what is it not enough that we are removed ab Officio& Beneficio, unless also we be further persecuted and torn in pieces by the Secular Powers? |
A26964 | But whether? |
A26964 | But who is the man? |
A26964 | But why? |
A26964 | But why? |
A26964 | But you say, Can not we approve of the use of a Book, or approve of a Book, as lawful to be used, as well as assent and consent to the use of it? |
A26964 | But you say, Nothing of Apocrypha is appointed for Sundays; whoever laid this to your charge? |
A26964 | But you would know of me, whether nothing be undoubtedly certain by Scripture, but what we have an express Text for? |
A26964 | But, say you, Why, or how then can there be any publick Sanctions in the world? |
A26964 | Can these things be brought to pass, and effected, while God- children are down upon their knees, and ask their Godfathers blessing? |
A26964 | Could he not have gone and opened the window for a little while, and relieved himself with the fresh and sweet Air? |
A26964 | Death hath eased you of many of us already; and can not you quietly expect a little longer, and we shall all retire, and trouble you no more? |
A26964 | Did you ever confer with them in private about the greatness and momentousness of their Font- ingagements? |
A26964 | Did you ever in good earnest, either in the Pulpit; or out of the Pulpit, mind them of their duty? |
A26964 | Do you think it lawful and expedient to stile every one of that sort, dear brother? |
A26964 | For what is a Sacrament? |
A26964 | From whence? |
A26964 | Has a Spirit corporal parts, and bodily members? |
A26964 | Here you say, I am a man of Conscience, that is of no Conscience at all, of a tender Conscience, that is cauteriz''d: But why? |
A26964 | Honey and Milk are under your tongue; yet what is the reason of all this rancour and bitterness? |
A26964 | How can we know the Law- makers intended, or will admit of any such a Subaudi? |
A26964 | How does covetousness blind our eyes? |
A26964 | How does evil custom impose upon our reason and judgment? |
A26964 | How know you that the Church supposeth these words, Regularly admitted by Baptism? |
A26964 | How quickly might the said person reply upon you, to your shame and confusion, in this or the like manner? |
A26964 | How shall the Children of these, how scrupulous soever they be,( as you avouch they may) come to their Christendom? |
A26964 | I answer, Be it so; but withall, pray let us see what ponderous Reasons you can bring for it? |
A26964 | I answer, What is this to the matter before us? |
A26964 | I profess I am at my wits end here, as in several other places, to find what you drive at; how then shall I fence my self against you? |
A26964 | If he slept, how came it to pass that his eyes were open? |
A26964 | Is any man found guilty of a much less hainous Indictment, and yet discharged without giving Sureties for his behaviour? |
A26964 | Is it not, according to the Catechism, an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace? |
A26964 | Is not the sign of the Cross an outward and visible sign? |
A26964 | Is this as a Conjunction of equality, or onely of aliquality? |
A26964 | Now you would know of the scrupulous Non- conformist, whether this rule be given to the publick Officers of the Church, or to the private Christian? |
A26964 | Of whom? |
A26964 | Or can you express your hope before God, even sure and certain hope, of his resting in Christ, and eternal happiness? |
A26964 | Quis tale legendo Temperet a risu? |
A26964 | Shall a pitiful order of the Church in Comparison over- rule and obtain? |
A26964 | Shall it be heeded and observed by the Minister more than the Regia placita of heaven it self? |
A26964 | Shall not their Cattel, and their substance, and every beast of theirs be ours? |
A26964 | Shall they be denyed a priviledge so excellent and so desirable? |
A26964 | Shall this Christian assembly believe what is read unto them, or shall they not believe? |
A26964 | Shall we obey God or Man? |
A26964 | So vast a difference there is between being in Communion where faults are( for what Church is free from them?) |
A26964 | Then the young man said to the Angel, to what use is the heart, the liver, and Gall of the fish? |
A26964 | These are a swarming multitude; and yet shall all these undoubtedly be saved? |
A26964 | Though they are young, do they not make a number in computation? |
A26964 | Well, he comes, and on the contrary sees their Children strong and well; ought he now to baptize them according to the private or publick form? |
A26964 | What as the Parables of our Saviour do? |
A26964 | What can be said more, if the most Holy Martyr, or confessour, if Stephen again were carried to his Burial? |
A26964 | What must a 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, our utter ruine and destruction be the Epilogue? |
A26964 | What need the Cross, if washing with water could sufficiently bring about its own ends? |
A26964 | What now will you answer to his Questions? |
A26964 | What reverence and honour can be paid to such persons by the people; which is most absolutely necessary for the success of their Ministry? |
A26964 | What signal service do such great Doctors, and Pluralists perform unto God and his Church? |
A26964 | What strong convincing, and Cogent Motives of credence wrought you into this perswasion, and brought you into this mind? |
A26964 | What therefore of help and remedy shall be found in the Case? |
A26964 | What think you of S. Coleman the Traytor? |
A26964 | What would you have him to do? |
A26964 | What, Sir, do you think what you speak? |
A26964 | What, are we in earnest, or in jest? |
A26964 | What, shall the Fables of Apochrypha beavouched, to serve for instruction, comfort and reproof as the Parables of our Saviour do? |
A26964 | What? |
A26964 | What? |
A26964 | Where speaking of those who were saved in Noah''s Ark by water, he subjoyns, the like Figure whereunto even Baptism doth also now save us? |
A26964 | Wherefore I would humbly and peaceably enquire of you, Whether Conformists may not be Sacrilegious as well as Non- conformists? |
A26964 | Who knows? |
A26964 | Who, in this case, shall set the limits, and say, Ne plus ultra? |
A26964 | Why should you presume to set such limits, to put such a close Hedge about the Rubrick, when it lies open, and in common? |
A26964 | Why this rather then any of the rest, which are altogether Ejusdem farinae of the same leven? |
A26964 | You say, And what is more required? |
A26964 | You say, Is not Baptism said to be for remission of sins? |
A26964 | You say, My reasoning against the Cross is so trifling, that you wonder with what face any can urge it? |
A26964 | You should have rather queried, About what this rule is given? |
A26964 | You therefore deserve a rebuke from your Superiours for your presumptuous intrusion; who made you of their counsel? |
A26964 | and particularly to be instructed concerning the nature and quality of those solemn baptismal promises made on their behalf? |
A26964 | and so what have I to do with the Curiosity and intreague of the Kalendar in this particular? |
A26964 | and whither I would conform, yea or not? |
A26964 | are we not abased sufficiently? |
A26964 | but with what forehead could you utter it? |
A26964 | can meerly taking holy Orders, take away the name and thing of what we call Sacriledge? |
A26964 | can the putting on a canonical habit, put off all guilt and demerit in that kind? |
A26964 | can these be supposed to have a throne in the hearts of the people, and to speak unto them with all authority and power? |
A26964 | can these rule over the house of God? |
A26964 | can you then with a good Conscience say, God in great mercy hath taken his Soul to himself? |

A27045 | The foundation of all our controversie is doctrinal, whether the Papal Soveraignty be Essential to the Church? |
A27045 | Therefore the Question between us should not be, when it ceased, but when it begun to be such a Capital Ruling Church, Essential to the whole? |
A27045 | Urge them with this as a granted truth, till they had renounced it? |
A27045 | WHether the Church of which the Protestants are members have been visible ever since the daies of Christ on earth? |
A27045 | Was Gregory Thaumaturgus no Bishop, because when he came first to Neocaesarea, he had but seventeen souls in his charge? |
A27045 | Was not a Baptized person in the primitive and ancient Churches a true Church- member, presently upon Baptism? |
A27045 | Was not the Church then purely Protestant in their Religion? |
A27045 | Was the Popes Legate the whole Catholick Church? |
A27045 | Was there one man at either of these Councils but within the Empire, yea a piece of the Empire? |
A27045 | Were those primitive Christians of another kind of Church- order and Government, then were those under the Roman Empire*? |
A27045 | What a silly ● or, what a wicked dissembling hypocrite, doth Bellarmine feign Pope Gregory to have been? |
A27045 | What are all their disputings for, and all this stir that they make in the world, but to set up one man over all the earth? |
A27045 | What if a man deny that there is a Christ, a Heaven, a Hell, or a Resurrection? |
A27045 | What if ten of you write to me at once, is it fair for each one of you to call for an answer as hastily as if I had but one in hand? |
A27045 | What if the people be engaged to one Prince, and afterward break their vow, and consent to a Usurper? |
A27045 | What if they shew me the Bishops orders, and I know that many have had forged Orders? |
A27045 | What is that faith in unity whereof all members of the Catholike Church do live? |
A27045 | What many? |
A27045 | What mean you by a sufficient proposal? |
A27045 | What more common then to appeal or make such addresses to any that have advantage of interest, for the relief of the oppressed? |
A27045 | What personal qualification is necessary ad esse? |
A27045 | What proof, or notice of it, must satisfie me in particular, that it so past? |
A27045 | What then? |
A27045 | What then? |
A27045 | What then? |
A27045 | What then? |
A27045 | What were these as many or more? |
A27045 | What 〈 ◊ 〉, or proof is necessary to your Subjects? |
A27045 | When and how must the institution of Christ be found? |
A27045 | When the Roman Emperors were yet Heathens, had not the Bishop of Rome the Supremacy over all other Bishops through the whole Church? |
A27045 | When was it that the Church of Rome ceased to be a true Church? |
A27045 | Whether it be our duty to enter into reconciliation and communion with the Papist,( though not subjection) and on what terms? |
A27045 | Whether it be the right and safe Religion? |
A27045 | Whether it may be tolerated? |
A27045 | Whether the Church of Rome was a true Church in the Apostles dayes? |
A27045 | Whether the Church, of which the Protestants are Members, have been Visible ever since the dayes of Christ on earth? |
A27045 | Whether the substance of all our cause lie not in this Question, Whether the Papacy or universal Government by the Pope, be of heaven, or of men? |
A27045 | Whether was Bellarmine or Gregory the wiser man? |
A27045 | Which of these is it that you deny? |
A27045 | Who will believe a Saint to be so diabolical, that calls it an imitation of the Devil? |
A27045 | Why did not all the precedent Roman Bishops disclaim the title of universal Bishop or Patriarch, till Pelagius and Gregory? |
A27045 | Why exclude you the chief Pastors, that depend on none? |
A27045 | Why may not the Donatists, the Novatians, or the Greeks( much more) do so as well as Papists? |
A27045 | Will any Diocess serve ad esse? |
A27045 | Will any ones election prove one to be Pope? |
A27045 | Will esteeming them fit, serve turn though they be unfit? |
A27045 | Will it follow that if the Eucharist be not Accidental or integral, but Essential, that therefore every thing Instituted by Christ is Essentiall? |
A27045 | Would you have my proof? |
A27045 | Would you know then where our Church, that is, the Catholike Church hath been, in all ages? |
A27045 | You ask,[ Were those Primitive Christians of another kind of Church order and Government then were those under the Roman Empire?] |
A27045 | You ask[ were they different Congregations?] |
A27045 | You next enquire whether[ we account] Rome and us One Congregation of Christians?] |
A27045 | You say Cyril would not break off Communion with Nestorius till Celestine had condemned him; of this you give us no proof: But what if it be true? |
A27045 | [ See how this Minister of the Devil is beside himself, and would draw us with him into the ditch of perdition? |
A27045 | [ When every Sect pretend that they have the true Church and Ministry, who shall judge?] |
A27045 | am I bound to believe in his authority? |
A27045 | an in Verbis capitis sui? |
A27045 | and also deny the Revelation it self, by which he should discern these truths? |
A27045 | and by how many? |
A27045 | and by whom ad esse? |
A27045 | and did that prove that Rome was subject to Constantinople? |
A27045 | and did those Heathen Emperors give it him? |
A27045 | and drew both your selves and their other subjects from all subjection to them, and communion with them? |
A27045 | and if jure divino, whether mediately or immediately? |
A27045 | and if not, why the contempt or rejection of a drunken Priest doth it, while all the rest are( perhaps too much) honoured? |
A27045 | and many such like? |
A27045 | and never opened it to the auditors, till they were Baptized? |
A27045 | and so whether it hath been from the beginning? |
A27045 | and that they should so solicitously labour the perversion of States and Kingdoms for the promoting of stupidity or stark madness? |
A27045 | and to hide what you pretend to open? |
A27045 | and what approbation must there be? |
A27045 | and what part? |
A27045 | and whether their disobedience unchurch them or no? |
A27045 | and who are these Pastors? |
A27045 | and why pretend you to believe Generall Councils? |
A27045 | and yet deny not the Veracity of God,( no nor of the Church?) |
A27045 | appeal to Rome, as the Judge, or Church that the rest are subjected to? |
A27045 | are there no proofs in the world, but what you have seen? |
A27045 | but that they spoke falsly? |
A27045 | could you not without this lost labour at first have called me to prove the successive visibility of our Church? |
A27045 | doth all the world know that Christ hath instituted in his Church nothing but what is essential to it? |
A27045 | doth he blame them after in other Epistles that gave him that Title? |
A27045 | even to subject all Christs Members to one, as an Universal Patriarch or Bishop? |
A27045 | how is it possible? |
A27045 | how shall I then be sure of his authority that is ordained? |
A27045 | in Verbis nostris eam quaesituri? |
A27045 | is he no Heretick, that denieth the matter revealed, without opposing obstinately the Authority revealing? |
A27045 | is it P. Stephen that is the Law- giver of the Law against unjust innovation? |
A27045 | is it the belief of all that God hath revealed to be believed; or of part? |
A27045 | is this no Heretick? |
A27045 | must I nominate Christians of these Nations, to prove that there were such? |
A27045 | must you have their names, sirnames, and Genealogies? |
A27045 | or any controversie between us and them to be decided? |
A27045 | or had intentionem ordinandi? |
A27045 | or may not many of those proofs be valid which you have seen, though you esteem them not so? |
A27045 | or necessary to our membership? |
A27045 | or were they quite different Congregations? |
A27045 | or who must elect him ad esse? |
A27045 | quid de proprio intulimus, ut aliquid contrarium ei& in Scripturis deprehensum, detractione vel adjectione vel transumtatione remediaremus? |
A27045 | sed quo jure? |
A27045 | surely no? |
A27045 | that all the Church hath been guiltless of the Papal usurpation, or only some in every age? |
A27045 | therefore he was Governour of all the Christian world? |
A27045 | those cease when the persons die; or do you mean assemblies meeting in the same place? |
A27045 | upon the denyal of common principles and sence? |
A27045 | utrum apud nos, an apud illos? |
A27045 | were they the same which you nominated first, or others? |
A27045 | were they the same which you nominated in the beginning, and made one Congregation with them? |
A27045 | what Election, or Consecration is necessary thereto? |
A27045 | what am I the wiser by your saying many more incomparably, when you tell me not what, or who they were? |
A27045 | what if I be utterly ignorant whether he that ordained him, were himself ordained? |
A27045 | what if it be but in particular Assemblies? |
A27045 | what more? |
A27045 | what opportunity have ordinary Christians to compare them, and discern the moral advantages on each side? |
A27045 | when Menna Bishop of Constantinople excommunicated Pope Vigilius, was he not even with him? |
A27045 | whose whole institution of the Church office, specially the old one, was invented and approved by him? |
A27045 | why possessed you your selves of the Bishopricks and Cures of your own Prelates and Pastors, they yet living in Queen Elizabeths time? |
A27045 | will you say you meant in voto? |
A27045 | would you have the Communion of our Ashes, or else say, We forsake your Communion? |
A27045 | yea, whether it be not much more that hath been given and accepted? |
A27045 | — Quaestio est, ubi sit hoc corpus, i. e. ubi sit Ecclesia? |
A57860 | 73? |
A57860 | All this considered we are little concerned; whether in the Primitive Times there were but one Chu ● ch in a City, or more? |
A57860 | And after, if men sin who make an Image an ordinary stated motive of Worship, yet how shall we excuse our own adorations? |
A57860 | And doth not the Scripture so too? |
A57860 | And if this be his Meaning, what needed such a distinction of Worship? |
A57860 | And is it not plain, that P. Martyr, under our circumstances, would be a Non conformist as well as we? |
A57860 | And is not the whole History of the Church of Judah under her Kings, a witness of this? |
A57860 | And the Peace and Vnity of Christianity valued at so low a rate? |
A57860 | And then what do all his commendable yieldings, as to the People, signi ● ● e? |
A57860 | And to which of them can this duty of worshipping God by the prescript of His VVord, be reduced, if not to the second? |
A57860 | And what hath he gained by that Concession? |
A57860 | And, What Argument will the Dr. bring against most of the Popish Ceremonies, but that they are not commanded? |
A57860 | And, what need was there to mention them, when there were such weighty Reasons beside to be insisted on? |
A57860 | Are the Consciences of men so little to be regarded? |
A57860 | Are there particular prohibitions of the several Ceremonies that were used in Popery? |
A57860 | But I ask the Dr. who of the Non- conformists did ever thus express their opinions without further Explication? |
A57860 | But did ever any of them say, that this was either the only, or main reason of their Meetings? |
A57860 | But he is willing to set his Church beyond all imaginable blame, and to put the Question only, whether the Dissenters have any blame, or not? |
A57860 | But the Question is, whether Superiors may determine a thing, that is not at all needful to be determined? |
A57860 | But we must first consider the true state of the controversy; which is not, whether all possible Honour be due to the Glorious Person who is so Named? |
A57860 | But wh ● ther will Mens indiscreet Zeal carry them? |
A57860 | But what is all that to the purpose? |
A57860 | But will he say, that they are for Excluding the Parents? |
A57860 | But, Did they ever teach, that we ought to communicate with a true Church in those parts of her Worship that are sinful? |
A57860 | But, what if any part of Worship be unlawful; call it Substantial, or Circumstantial, or what he will? |
A57860 | By what Law of Christ is the Presbyter accountable to the Bishop, more then the Bishop is accountable to him? |
A57860 | By whom will this be thought? |
A57860 | Can you wonder if the people chuse more faithful Pastors? |
A57860 | Did ever Mr. A. or any of us say this, or words to that effect? |
A57860 | Did ever any Non- conformist talk at this rate of Conformists in general, as he would have his Readers believe? |
A57860 | Did ever the Non- conformists make Mr. Baxter their general Representative? |
A57860 | Did none of the Jews more than this, at that Feast? |
A57860 | Did not they own the same Episcopacy which is now among us, and which men by Book upon Book seek to destroy? |
A57860 | Do not they desert Antiquity in more things, and those of more moment than the controverted Ceremonies are? |
A57860 | Do not ye make void the Law of God, neglecting Love, studying Unity, Mercy,& c. for these your Traditions? |
A57860 | Doth it hence follow, that they who dislike her Bishops and Ceremonies are doing the same Work? |
A57860 | Doth not all this fully express what I have already said, That all the Ceremonies ought to have been cast out at first? |
A57860 | Doth the nature of Church Discipline lie in that? |
A57860 | Doth this savour of that Regard to Souls, and of that love of Peace and Unity that our Brethren make such a noise with, when it suiteth their purpose? |
A57860 | Had it been fair dealing to call David a Separatist in his Exile, because he waited not on the Temple Service? |
A57860 | Had it not been as easie to deny the Ceremonies, in debate, to be Worship, or any part of Worship, as others of his Party do? |
A57860 | Hath Conscience no use, but to discern what is my Lord Bishop''s Will, or what the Act of Parliament saith? |
A57860 | Hath this never been done by Non- conformists? |
A57860 | He answereth a question; Can these be called Schismaticks who are first excommunicated by the Church? |
A57860 | He asketh, where lyeth the strength and evidence of our scruples? |
A57860 | He saith, it giveth no interruption to Devotion: But doth it give none to other parts of Worship, which he is not pleased to call Devotion? |
A57860 | His 2. answer is, If a restraint be laid on Ministers by Law, whether the Minister ought to admonish publickly, and debar in that Case? |
A57860 | His Question is very absurd, How shall we come by the sence, but by the words? |
A57860 | His proof of this is, Presbyters were setled in Country Cures, what then? |
A57860 | How Quickly, Vnanimously, and Vniversally did the ten Tribes apostatize after Solomon''s decease? |
A57860 | How doth passion blind men? |
A57860 | How doth this consist with what he had said, That he will not say, that we are set on by the Jesuits? |
A57860 | How many things did thus slip from the Pens of several of the Fathers, that the Dr. will not approve? |
A57860 | How some of them preach and print Socinianism, and without a check from the Church? |
A57860 | I again ask him, Whether doth he own them as sound, or reject them as fallacious? |
A57860 | I ask the Dr. whether in this case we may separate, though we scruple not any part of that worship that he is pleased to call Substantial Worship? |
A57860 | I desire to know what Warrant is for this, even from sound reason? |
A57860 | I hope that will not be denied: Now, is not the Cross used to betoken our obligation to the very same things? |
A57860 | I suppose he will not own such Crossing, I am sure it was never heard of; if he say, it is not to be done, How do these become Members of the Church? |
A57860 | I think the Question should rather be, Whether it was a Rule of God''s making, or of Man''s making? |
A57860 | If any ask, which of these three we do indeed own? |
A57860 | If he say they are not, why doth he here conjoin them? |
A57860 | If he think them such men, why would he bind us to their Authority, which is the tendency of this long Discourse? |
A57860 | If not, why do they assume the substance of it? |
A57860 | If such bold and notorious untruths are published now, what account may we expect will be given to Posterity of the passages of these Times? |
A57860 | If these evils crept in under the Inspection of the Apostles, What wonder is it if Men afterwards began in some things to deviate in Church- practice? |
A57860 | If they bind not all men, why is the Worship of other Churches so cryed out upon, by many of your Church? |
A57860 | If they bind not our Consciences, why do ye charge us with Sin, for refusing them? |
A57860 | If two contend about a Third Persons Estate, and the one prevail against the other, do ● h that give him a Title? |
A57860 | If unnecessary; why should they be forced on mens Consciences, to the Rending of the Church? |
A57860 | In the Third place; When his opposites alledge certain Rules for interpreting the Commandments, he asketh, Whether they be divine or humane? |
A57860 | In the days of Joash, as soon as Jehojada was gone, how quickly did a Faction, with a Complement to the King, turn the whole Nation to Idolatry? |
A57860 | Is all this no more than two mens scrupling only some Habits? |
A57860 | Is it imaginable that the Apostle in a list of Church- Officers set down in so few words, would use such repetition? |
A57860 | Is it imaginable that the Apostle intendeth to oblige all the Churches to take a rule of mans making for directing them how they shall please God? |
A57860 | Is it not made a sign of our Covenant, or Engagement to the same duties that we are engaged to by Baptism? |
A57860 | Is it not obvious, that their Joy was for our Broils on that occasion, and not for the Ruin of that which they love so well? |
A57860 | Is not our Case parallel to theirs in this? |
A57860 | Is not this stretching and forcing of Scripture to defend a bad Cause, which he below chargeth us with? |
A57860 | Is not this to prefer your Tradition to God''s Law? |
A57860 | Is not this to rend the Church by Divisions? |
A57860 | Is there any thing in these Books that favoureth Papists? |
A57860 | Is there no Consideration to be used by the Church, how the Labours of all these may not be lost, while the Harvest is great, and the Labourers few? |
A57860 | Is there no difference between having probable grounds for a Scruple, and having no such grounds? |
A57860 | Is there no such blame among his Party? |
A57860 | Is this fair dealing? |
A57860 | It is a needless Question that he asketh, Wherein doth our Church differ from its first Setlen ● ut? |
A57860 | It should not have been omitted; to enquire whether the Grounds alledged for Separation lie in things really Evil, or only fan ● ied to be such? |
A57860 | It were easie to fill a Volume with Histories to this purpose: Will the Doctor thence conclude, that all these should be abolished? |
A57860 | Mast Reformers be charged with a wrong Way of Worship? |
A57860 | May not men make owning Traditions of Men necessary to their Communion, tho''they make it not necessary to Salvation? |
A57860 | May not the means of securing Worship from abuse, serve us that served them? |
A57860 | Must Conscience then be bound Hand and Foot, and carried whither the Prelate pleaseth? |
A57860 | Must therefore none be satisfied, because all can not? |
A57860 | Now our Question is, VVhat warrant have men for making such an Addition to so great an Ordinance of God? |
A57860 | Or if many teach dangerous Doctrine contrary to established Truth; ought not People withdraw from such Teachers? |
A57860 | Or is not here rather a considerable number exactly of our opinion about all humane Ceremonies in the worship of God? |
A57860 | Or what if something be Annexed to the True Worship of God; which is sinful; but yet so peremptorily imposed, as none shall worship God without it? |
A57860 | Or will we be wiser and m ● re wary than they? |
A57860 | Or, if Mr. B. sometimes speak at this rate, is this his ordinary Doctrine? |
A57860 | Pray, who ever said so? |
A57860 | Quid verba audio cum facta videam? |
A57860 | Reply; why doth the Dr. make the Rubrick, and the Law thus to clash, especially seeing the Common Prayers and its Rubri ● k are setled by Law? |
A57860 | Shall they hear him? |
A57860 | Shall we slight or cross Christ''s Institution in the Worship of God, for the sake of Antiquity, or Papists, or Protestants either? |
A57860 | Should they complain to Superiors, against the erroneous Preacher? |
A57860 | Some further Argumentative Questions he moveth; Is all this( writing against Bishops and Ceremonies) done for the honour of the Reformation? |
A57860 | Some( saith he) in this case pressed the Dissenters to study Union among Protestants; But were they then, or ever, backward to it on sinless terms? |
A57860 | The Doctor asketh, Whether all must have equal Votes? |
A57860 | The Dr. Answereth; And is not every Church- Member bound to perform these? |
A57860 | These Apostasies were in higher points than we now speak of; and yet, How quickly did the Church thus degenerate? |
A57860 | To come nearer home, Do not all the soundest Protestants rejoice in the Lutheran Reformation, as to the main, and yet blame it in some things? |
A57860 | VVere they not as vigilant and jealous over the Papists, as other Protestants even before that time? |
A57860 | VVhat a mad exposition of the second Commandment is this? |
A57860 | VVhat meaneth he by this last Clause? |
A57860 | VVho of them have been excommunicated for not using it, as we are for forbearing the Ceremonies?) |
A57860 | Was ever Schism, saith he, made so light of? |
A57860 | Was it for the Honour of the Reformation? |
A57860 | Was it never heard of, that true Martyrs had Mistakes that were extrinsick to that on which their Sufferings were st ● ted? |
A57860 | Was that the way to preserve the Worship of Jehovah? |
A57860 | Were it not easie to name many more men of all these excellent qualities, who have had their Navi? |
A57860 | What advantage could they make of all this against the Church of England? |
A57860 | What course doth he mean? |
A57860 | What doth all this prove? |
A57860 | What if such a Case as this, or little less evil, be not rare? |
A57860 | What is all this against popular Elections? |
A57860 | What is all this, to make up an Obligation to sin against God, rather than separate from the Church? |
A57860 | What need publick Admonition by name? |
A57860 | What needed he blame the Non- conformists for want of Clearness and Distinction in this matter, when himself hath confounded it? |
A57860 | What power hath the Church, to pick and chuse Scripture- Commandments, to injoin one, and neglect another of equal Authority? |
A57860 | What would the Dr. have serious Christians, who are concerned about the Salvation of their Souls, do, when such a Minister is set over them? |
A57860 | Where is the plain Prohibition of them? |
A57860 | Where( saith he) hath the Church of Rome more Labourers and a greater Harvest than under the greatest Liberty of Conscience? |
A57860 | Whether it be lawful for People to obey such commands? |
A57860 | Whether our Hierarchy be called Antichristian, or Repugnant to the Institutions of Christ? |
A57860 | Which of them readeth what they think lawful in their own Assemblies? |
A57860 | Who can be so Fit, by his opportunity and care, as the Parent? |
A57860 | Who did ever require that? |
A57860 | Who doubteth of that; but the question is, to whom did the Apostles commit this care? |
A57860 | Why are not our Brethren uniform in their Reverence to Antiquity? |
A57860 | Why may not the Church appoint such a rite of admission of one of her Members, declaring it to be no part of Baptism? |
A57860 | Why may not this be done now, when Dissatis ● action is become more universal? |
A57860 | Will Worship is condemned in Scripture; and, Can it be denied, that what is not commanded, tho''it be not plainly forbidd ● n, is Will- Worship? |
A57860 | Will any man say that this is meer admission, as a Member of the Church, or into the Church of England; and that no more is intended by these words? |
A57860 | Will even Dr. Stillingfleet own Mr. Parker''s Notion of the Publick Conscience? |
A57860 | Will he forbear no Sin, but what is named in one of the Ten Commandments? |
A57860 | Will not the study of Peace answer this injunction of the Apostle, without Uniformity? |
A57860 | Will then the Dr. say, that the way of Divine Worship is injoined in this Command, but not the manner and form of it? |
A57860 | Will they deny the naevi patrum that Divines, both Papists and Protestants, have observed? |
A57860 | With what face can wise men alledge this? |
A57860 | Would he have them have Separate Meetings, but no Ministers in them to Administer the Ordinances of God to them? |
A57860 | Would they take such a Man for a Christian? |
A57860 | Yea; Can any Reformed Church be instanced where it hath not been, and is not used? |
A57860 | do not all Signs represent somewhat beside the bare Action, or beside themselves? |
A57860 | or any thing that maketh the Church of England worse than that of Rome? |
A57860 | or, Doth he think that none of them that want Literature can discern Truth from Errour, in any Case? |
A57860 | or, Hath he so much as pretended to write in the Name of them all? |
A57860 | or, Must the Bible have been made so voluminous, as to mention every circumstantiate Case, otherwise we will take no notice of its general Precepts? |
A57860 | or, when men make Railing their ordinary Doctrine, Should people sit and hear that, as God''s Ordinance for their Souls edification? |
A57860 | or, would they have had them abandon the light of the ● r Consciences for Peace- sake in that time of danger? |
A57860 | scandalous Vsurpers and Persecutors? |
A57860 | what disobedience, ungovernableness, contempt of the Worship of God, and indecency in it, are we charged with? |
A57860 | whether our Ministery be called a false or insufficient Ministry? |
A57860 | whether the Imposers or the Scruplers? |
A62876 | & c. Are not, as was said, the children of them all admitted to the Font, and they themselves to the Lords Table? |
A62876 | ( Apella likely) Are these likely motives to perswade or enforce a ● y thereunto? |
A62876 | ( and this is the record of John, when the Jews sent Priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou? |
A62876 | 4, Hast thou as much communion with God as thou desirest? |
A62876 | 96. p. 528. saith, Quid postulat secundum praeceptum? |
A62876 | And Jesus when he saw much people, was moved with compassion towards them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd( what? |
A62876 | And how shall they preach except they be sent? |
A62876 | And if so, may it not be said, Ye your selves are the seal of their Ministry in the Lord? |
A62876 | And to his question, Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished, that are waiting at the doors of their house? |
A62876 | And what can we say to all these things? |
A62876 | And what prudent housholder will permit the figure or quantity of his house, to the arbitrement, and will of others? |
A62876 | Are any too vile( except such as truly fear God ▪ and desire to press after holiness) to be admitted by them into their Communion? |
A62876 | Are not all their dear Brethren and Sisters, living and dead, though Drunkards, Swearers, Adulterers, and Adulteresses? |
A62876 | Are not he, and all others, specially of his way of separation, most apt to magifie those who jump with him in his way; and to disparage dissenters? |
A62876 | Are not the sincere Lambs of Christ oftentimes carried away with false shews, and partial affections, and wrong reports? |
A62876 | Are there not many persons and places of peculiar and exempt Jurisdiction? |
A62876 | Are they Pastors or Teachers? |
A62876 | Are they Prophets? |
A62876 | Are they in the practice of the Primitive Church, or of the Reformed Churches of this day in this matter? |
A62876 | Art sure that God, and Christ, and Eternal Glory, are thy portion and inheritance? |
A62876 | Art thou altogether ready trimmed( without more ado) for the coming and Kingdom of Christ Jesus? |
A62876 | Art thou sufficiently acquainted with thine own heart? |
A62876 | As for the demand, where are the Churches, where are the particular persons converted by them? |
A62876 | As for the second particular, That hereby poor souls are hardned in a false way of worship, what can be thought less? |
A62876 | But granting it to be a Precept, is it a Precept to the Apostles only, or to others? |
A62876 | But how comes this to be an Order, Ordinance, Institution of the house of Christ appointed by himself? |
A62876 | But how proves he the power for electing their own Officers delegated solely to a particular Instituted Church of Christ? |
A62876 | But in what sense do they pretend to be the Apostles Successors? |
A62876 | But let it imply a Precept to us; Do not the present Ministers of England conform to it? |
A62876 | But our Ministers are removed, and we know not where to go to hear; would you have us sit at home idle? |
A62876 | But the term of Pastors and Teachers, is challenged by Bishops: and what saith he against it? |
A62876 | But there are some good men amongst them, and such as belong to God, may we not hear good men? |
A62876 | But what if there were an embracing a Toleration, if granted? |
A62876 | But what meaneth the bleating of the Sheep, and lowing of the Oxen in our ears? |
A62876 | But what saith he of the rest? |
A62876 | But what then? |
A62876 | But where find they any National Church of the Institution of Christ, in the Oeconomie of the Gospel? |
A62876 | But who, I pray, are these disorderly Walkers? |
A62876 | But who, I pray, are these disorderly walkers? |
A62876 | But why not in Office? |
A62876 | But, how doth the Hearing the present Ministers tend to it? |
A62876 | Canon Ecclesiastical ▪ Are any of these Ordinances and Constitutions of the appointment of Christ? |
A62876 | Credat Apelles? |
A62876 | Did any of them say so, or count it to be so? |
A62876 | Did he then shut out of doors, as unnecessary, the gift of Prophecy? |
A62876 | Did the Apostles ordain any as their Successors therein in any of the Churches of Christ? |
A62876 | Did the woman in her flight into the Wilderness carry it along with her? |
A62876 | Do all great as well as small, rich and poor, free and bond receive such a mark? |
A62876 | Do not even the Ministers of England the same? |
A62876 | Do not the most able Preachers sometimes omit the exercise of their gifts, and yet count not them shut out of doors, as unnecessary? |
A62876 | Do the present Ministers of England conform unto this Institution of Christ? |
A62876 | Do the present Ministers of England conform unto this great Institution? |
A62876 | Do they at all value or esteem of it? |
A62876 | Do they succeed them as Christians? |
A62876 | Do they succeed them in respect to their Off ● ice? |
A62876 | Do you look upon your going to hear, as your duty, or meerly as your liberty? |
A62876 | Dost know so much of thy self as thou needest to know? |
A62876 | Ergo si aliud Imperator& aliud Deus quid judicatis? |
A62876 | For Surplice, Crossing in Baptism, and many other Gewgaws used by them? |
A62876 | For what are we to think otherwise when we read such passages as these: the verity of his minor proposition shines forth as the Sun in his brightness? |
A62876 | From how many have they gone a whoring? |
A62876 | Hast heard as often from him by the tea ● hings of the Spirit( the incomparably and infinitely best teacher) as thou dost wish? |
A62876 | Hast thou no sin to be mortified, no want to be supplyed, no grace to be quickned and strengthned in thee? |
A62876 | Have not many, especially in cases of necessity, been Ministers of Christ by immediate inward call, who have not wrought Miracles? |
A62876 | Have they any such Call to the Ministry? |
A62876 | Have they not an equal respect to this appointment of Christ, as to those before instanced in? |
A62876 | How do they therein proclaim their shame, and yield the matter in Controversie? |
A62876 | How doth it appear that men raising them, whether Princes or Patrons are men of such spirits and principles? |
A62876 | How doth it appear that to come out of the Earth is to be raised by men of earthly spirits and principles? |
A62876 | How is it possible for this Author, or any other, to number them, compare, weigh them in an upright ballance? |
A62876 | How lubricous and uncertain is that their Succession? |
A62876 | How prove they that the Church of England is so? |
A62876 | I answer by another Question, Which of them have they so made void? |
A62876 | I ask, are these things the sin and evil of th ● se men, or are they not? |
A62876 | If they are not, Why did not our preaching Brethren receive the Ordination from the Bish ● ps these received? |
A62876 | If they judge it their duty to meet together distinct from the world and it''s worshippers, why run they thereunto? |
A62876 | If thou dost not, are not these worthy of thy utmost diligence to get assurance of? |
A62876 | In answer to the Question, Whether there be any National Church under the Oeconomy of the Gospel? |
A62876 | Is not our so doing, a secret consenting with them, and encouraging of them in their evil deeds? |
A62876 | Is not the childrens meat frequently given unto Dogs, and the holy Ordinances prostituted to be polluted by the worst of men? |
A62876 | Is not the liberty of the Brethren and Churches of Christ, as much as lies in them, wholly disanulled and broken by them? |
A62876 | Is not their Church- state( so unlike is it to the Institution of Christ) a very Babel, a Den of Dragons, and Hold of unclean Beasts? |
A62876 | Is not this to blow hot and cold with the same breath? |
A62876 | Is there any thing like it almost practised by them, in this great concern of separating persons for the Preaching of the Gospel of Christ? |
A62876 | Is this to discharge those duties incumbent upon us( if we indeed look upon them as Brethren) for their reclaiming? |
A62876 | Lord to whom shall we go? |
A62876 | Majorem certe noli offendere — quis est inquies major eo qui me genuit? |
A62876 | Mark 16.15? |
A62876 | Matth, 23.37? |
A62876 | May it not be said to themselves, Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished by your Ministry? |
A62876 | May not those be more carnal, yea very hypocrites, which he counts spiritual Saints? |
A62876 | O how many millions of souls are and have been thereby hardened to their own undoing, and their hands strengthned in wickedness? |
A62876 | Or judgest thou this to be a work that requires not thy utmost diligence and attendance? |
A62876 | Quid enim times ne offendas majorem? |
A62876 | Quis ergo nisi infidelis negaverit fuisse apud inferos Christum? |
A62876 | Rursum si aliquid ipse Proconsul jubeat,& aliud jubeat Imperator, numquid dubitatur in illo contemptu illi esse serviendum? |
A62876 | Saith our Author, whether the priviledges of Saints, be not every way as great and extensive under the Gospel, as those under the Law? |
A62876 | So that, ● f their prayers be naught and polluted, their Preaching be not so too? |
A62876 | Solve tributum, est mihi in obsequio recte ▪ Sed non in Idolio, in Idolio prohibet, quis prohibet? |
A62876 | The Ministers of England preach truth, and is it not lawfull to hear truth preached? |
A62876 | The Popish Priests preach truth, yet who will say''t is lawfull to attend upon their Ministry? |
A62876 | The command to do what they bid implies a permission to hear, else how could they do as they bid? |
A62876 | The corporal temple had its dreadth, and its measure described most accurately by God, shall not the spiritual have its? |
A62876 | There is no necessity of being idle, if thou knowest not where to hear on that day, hast thou no work to do save that? |
A62876 | There was never yet any Heretical preacher in the world, but he preached some truth; is it lawfull to hear such? |
A62876 | Thou walkest in the light of assurance, or thou dost not? |
A62876 | To the Questions, Are any of these Ordinances and Constitutions of the appointment of Christ? |
A62876 | To the first, which of the Institutions of Christ have not the present Ministers mixed with their inventions? |
A62876 | To the third, Is not a great part of their Worship drops of the Whores Cup of Fornication and shreds of the great lye of Antichrist? |
A62876 | Were not many, if not most in your Churches wrought upon at first by other Preachers? |
A62876 | Were they also Idolaters? |
A62876 | What Apostolical tradition have we for stinted Forms of Prayer, or Liturgies in the Church? |
A62876 | What a Lesbian leaden rule doth this Author then give, whose offence is to be avoided, rather than anothers? |
A62876 | What if this should be granted? |
A62876 | What less? |
A62876 | What less? |
A62876 | What more absurd, then to run to the persecuting Whore and Beast for an Office of Ministry? |
A62876 | What more dishonorable to the Lord Jesus can be asserted? |
A62876 | What say our Reverend Fathers and Ministers of the Church of England to these things? |
A62876 | What that, or those sins are, we suppose the Ministers of England to be guilty of? |
A62876 | What then are they? |

A62876 | When or where were they instituted by by him? |
A62876 | When were they raised by such? |

A62876 | Where find we any Apostles after the departure of those that were immediately by Christ called to that Office? |
A62876 | Where read we of their so doing? |
A62876 | Wherefore then was that reed given to John? |
A62876 | Whether in such a Church there ● s, or can rationally be supposed to be, a true Ministry of the Institution of Christ? |
A62876 | Whether such Prayers and service may not be a Worship of God in a way that is of his appointment? |
A62876 | Whether the Book of Common- Prayer, or stinted Liturgies, be of the Prescription of Christ, and not of mans devising and invention? |
A62876 | Whether the Lord Jesus be not the alone Head, King, and Law- giver to his Church? |
A62876 | Whether the officers instituted by Christ, are not onely Pastors, Teachers, Deacons and helpers? |
A62876 | Whether there be any National Church under the Oeconomie of the Gospel? |
A62876 | Which of the Reformed Churches that have separated from the Papacy have retained it? |
A62876 | Who can point out, who are such, who not? |
A62876 | Who can tell what measure of these qualifications there is in them that are living? |
A62876 | Who can tell, what men may prove, for all their fair shews? |
A62876 | Who can understand his errours? |
A62876 | Why baptizest thou then? |
A62876 | Why so? |
A62876 | Yea, is this to come out of, and separate from them? |
A62876 | Yea, may not some others ordain Elders for particul ● ● Instituted Churches? |
A62876 | Yet 2ly, who that hath but half an eye can chuse but see, that an attendance upon their Ministry is remote enough from being their intendment? |
A62876 | Yet should this also be granted, where are the Constitutions and Laws of this Church, that we may pay the homage to them as is meet? |
A62876 | an ille qui teipsum creavit? |
A62876 | and can such be accounted as the subjects of the Kingdom of Christ, and the real owners of his Authority and Power? |
A62876 | came the Word of God out from you? |
A62876 | covetousness, self- seeking, and other sinister affections, as others of different wayes? |
A62876 | determine what Laws and Constitutions were fit to be observed by them? |
A62876 | did they frame any? |
A62876 | from how many have they gone a whoring? |
A62876 | how shall we know them? |
A62876 | how shall we know them? |
A62876 | if they derive it through the Papacy, who sees not the invalidity thereof? |
A62876 | is it the National Church of England? |
A62876 | is less to the purpose: For what shew of consequence is there in this? |
A62876 | is not a great part of their worship drops of the Whores Cup of Fornication, and shreds of the great lye of Antichrist? |
A62876 | many persons that either by indulgence or connivence, though not acknowledging such subjection, live as free as those that do? |
A62876 | nothing less: is there any thing like this in the whole Oeconomie invented and practised by them? |
A62876 | or came it unto you only? |
A62876 | or doth Christ indeed send forth servants in any imployment, and not furnish them with Gifts sutable thereunto? |
A62876 | put some restraints upon Prophecying, to keep order? |
A62876 | sayes, Lordship and Dominion is plainly forbidden to the Apostles, and darest thou then usurp the same? |
A62876 | so that none indeed doth return from his wickedness: How rare a thing is it to hear of one soul that is brought over to God by all their preaching? |
A62876 | speaks thus, What? |
A62876 | what can be imagined more frivolous or false? |
A62876 | what need I turn aside to make application of this to the Prophets of this day? |
A62876 | when and where were they instituted by him? |

A62876 | who that hath soberly and unbiassedly considered of these things, but must acknowledge it? |
A62876 | who that is serious, doth not experiment the truth thereof in his own soul? |

A62876 | — timendo potestatem ipsos humanarum rerum gradus advertite: si aliquid jusserit Curator, nonne faciendum est? |
A43621 | & c. meaning, were you at Church? |
A43621 | ( as in biting Irony, he calls the old Bishops:) and how he claws off one of them by name, A. Sparrow D. D. Bishop of Exon? |
A43621 | ( if thou be Oedipus,) To Trinkle Members of the House? |
A43621 | 1, 2. with Christs Disciples for plucking the ears of corn, as they pass''d through the corn fields, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands? |

A43621 | 8. dayes? |
A43621 | A Cause too good? |
A43621 | And are not those Jews Hebrews? |
A43621 | And can a man retain any good nature, if he quite forget he had a Father and murther''d too? |
A43621 | And can not he be gentile except he bid defiance to all good nature too? |
A43621 | And did not Donatus teach some to make addresses to the weaker Vessels, and to lead Captive silly women? |
A43621 | And have they not cause to bless God and the King every day they rise, that they are not hang''d, drawn and quarter''d, as was Baanah and Rechab? |
A43621 | And is it not deservedly in disgrace? |
A43621 | And is it so indeed good Greg? |
A43621 | And is this all? |
A43621 | And of whose goods then can this Free- booter make a prize on more lawfully and with more justice, than upon the Churches Dignities? |
A43621 | And rowze Tarpollians, that lye sleeping, Ne''er dreaming what cause there''s for weeping, Fasting and Prayers of the Churches? |
A43621 | And what is this that you say unto me; what aileth me? |
A43621 | And what news of the Cat? |
A43621 | And what were the causes? |
A43621 | And why shall not his Majesty keep in memory,( except in Gentleman''s memory) that his Dear Father was murther''d? |
A43621 | And why? |
A43621 | Are not these worthy cares, Mr. Grey beard, for your Learned Fathers? |
A43621 | Are they that are so incessant to this hour in their Cabals, meetings, sending out Spies and Intelligencers into all Quarters, now on a sudden weary? |
A43621 | Are they that would travel as far as Holland, Savoy, Piedm ● … nt, nay to New England, rather than not have their wills, now weary? |
A43621 | As soon as ever I read this news, thought I to my self, and whispered, this is all Leasing, the Factions and Modern Orthodox weary? |
A43621 | But I speak of my Hebrew Tongue, now that it is mended by the University at Tiberias, the Masoreth: What say you to that? |
A43621 | But a wiser than he has told us, who is able to stand against envy? |
A43621 | But bodily worship? |
A43621 | But do we not find the old Hebrew Tongue in those Bibles? |
A43621 | But does not our Saviour bid men search the Scriptures? |
A43621 | But does the Devil drive men to modern Orthodoxy? |
A43621 | But he that should raise the first disturbance of the same nature would he knock''d on the head: would he so? |
A43621 | But is the Good Old Cause( which 〈 ◊ 〉 thought had taken its last sleep,) awake again? |
A43621 | But it would make a man laugh spite of his teeth:( though he had scarce any laugh to spare) at what? |
A43621 | But must they capitulate? |
A43621 | But perhaps you''l say, were not the Translators of the Bible as good Scholars as I am? |
A43621 | But were not the Talmuds both of them writ in Hebrew, the Pharisees saying they were delivered unto Moses upon mount Sinai with the Law? |
A43621 | But what entertainment did the people give it? |
A43621 | But you''ll say perhaps, and object against me, that if this be my religion, why do I not practise it? |
A43621 | But, I say still; did not Adam speak Hebrew? |
A43621 | Can not a King be Gentile, though he retain his nature? |
A43621 | Cat? |
A43621 | Cato had rather men should question why he had no statues erected in honour of his great worth, than why he had any? |

A43621 | Did they not Allegorize the Scriptures, the Passion, and Resurrection of our Saviour? |
A43621 | Did they not confine the Church of Christ to their Conventicles? |
A43621 | Did they not count it unlawful to swear, though in truth, in righteousness, and in judgment? |
A43621 | Did they not cry down all Holy- days and Fast- days,( except long- Parliament Fast- days, and Thanksgiving- dayes for a bloody victory? |
A43621 | Did they not declare it unlawful for the Magistrate to punish hainous offences with Death, or to go to War whether offensive or defensive? |
A43621 | Did they not declare that no man has proprietary in Goods, Lands or Wife, but all should lie common, and without Inclosure? |
A43621 | Did they not deny Salutations, or bidding God speed, to all but their own fraternity? |
A43621 | Did they not deny all superiority and didistinction of Persons and quality? |
A43621 | Did they not gnash their teeth at the Surplice? |
A43621 | Did they not learn to Ca nt, and ascribe every motion of their own spirits, to be the motion of the Holy- ghost within them? |
A43621 | Did they not learn to oppose Bishops from the Contobaptites? |
A43621 | Did they not undervalue Scripture- Authority? |
A43621 | Did you ever converse among the Jews? |
A43621 | Do not the Jews at this day make most use of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament? |
A43621 | Does not the man forget his own Father? |
A43621 | Dost thou say to thy son and servant, you must needs be subject and that for conscience sake? |
A43621 | Dost thou that pleadest the fifth Commandement against thy wicked disobedient son& servant, never plead it against thy self? |
A43621 | Eleventhly, friends, further enquire, How shall we blacken him? |
A43621 | Every day? |
A43621 | For a great many whyes? |
A43621 | For can all our worship of God, prayers, praises, and preachings, observing Lords- days and Sacraments profit God? |
A43621 | Friends, Do you see, friends,( I, now I am in and at it) as I said before, friends, do ye see this Book? |
A43621 | Ha, ha, he, I knew what a Scholar you were: Can you cap Verses? |

A43621 | Now what a blot in the Scutcheon would this be, to all the Lords, Parliament men, Gentlemen and Citizens in England? |
A43621 | Oh but did not these fellows arm the rabble against the King and Bishops upon this very account? |
A43621 | Oh but the Ark, the tottering Ark, what godly heart would not tremble for the Ark of God, as old Eli''s did? |
A43621 | Or House of Lords? |
A43621 | Rummage the Ship, throw overboard What in the Ship may best be spar''d: There; y''have done finely,( have you not?) |
A43621 | Sack possets, Thimbles and Church- gatherings, friends: Nay, do ye see, friends? |
A43621 | Shall I come before him with burnt- ● … fferings? |
A43621 | Sixthly, friends, what shall I say? |
A43621 | So that now baptizing goes before teaching, how do you answer this Mr. Black- coat Chimney- sweeper? |
A43621 | Tenthly, Beloved, And is it so? |
A43621 | Than to say, his whole Reign was deform''d with Ceremonies, Arminianism, and Sibthorpianism, and Manwaring? |
A43621 | The King alone is the Fountain of Honour, and are those streams of honour that flow from him, more pudled in a Clergy than a Lay- Channel? |
A43621 | The Rehearsal Transpros''d? |
A43621 | Then the use we should make of all, should be to begin with an use of enquiry, who this same E. H. is? |
A43621 | Then you would surely take my Hebrew Tongue away, would you? |
A43621 | Therefore since Christ knows not these, there is a greater thing than Gods worship awanting, and which is the one thing necessary, and what''s That? |
A43621 | They tell me? |
A43621 | Thirdly, do ye s ● … e, friends? |
A43621 | Thrown away th''best, the worst forgot; The Masse- Book there,( do you not see?) |
A43621 | To whom does the blessed Apostle speak? |
A43621 | Too was murther''d? |
A43621 | True of hand and tongue, and have kept your hand from picking at and stealing away the credit and good name of your betters? |
A43621 | Were they not pure in their own eyes, but abominated as Dogs all but themselves, and their friends? |
A43621 | What Language spoke our Saviour? |
A43621 | What a dull Thing was he that writ The Advancement of Learning? |
A43621 | What do you say to this now, you with your English Bible? |
A43621 | What is''t? |
A43621 | What need of Jayls or Acts of Indemnity or Uniformity, Licences or Liberty, Indulgence or no Indulgence? |
A43621 | What say you to that, Repartee Con? |
A43621 | What''s that? |
A43621 | What, lose all? |
A43621 | What? |
A43621 | When our Saviour and the Apostles quoted Scripture out of the Old Testament, did they not follow the Hebrew Text? |
A43621 | When the dumb beast opened his mouth, saying, Am not I thine Ass? |
A43621 | When will''t come to my turn( think I) to wait, and make the Gentleman sport? |
A43621 | Where are they? |
A43621 | Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and how my self before the high God? |
A43621 | Which do you think is the most Authentick apographical Copy of the Septuagint, the Vatican or Alexandrian? |
A43621 | Who are they? |
A43621 | Who dare check them, lest he seem thereby to fight against God? |
A43621 | Who dare speak against their ways, lest he seem to bid heaven battail, and speak against Gods ways? |
A43621 | Who did ever see so much railing in so little a book as his? |
A43621 | Who taught them not to value, or at least, to undervalue the Testimonies of the old TeTestament, but the Manichees and Severians? |
A43621 | Who taught them to cry up the Pulpit, and Sermons only, and decry Sacraments and Prayers, and Charity, but the Eutichites? |
A43621 | Why do you say? |
A43621 | Why should the Wolf be hang''d up, when The Jaccal Scot- free goes? |
A43621 | Why, is Syriack and Chaldee all one? |
A43621 | Why? |
A43621 | Why? |
A43621 | Why? |
A43621 | Workers of iniquity? |
A43621 | Would not Balaams Ass( if alive) open his mouth again, to rebuke the madness of these Prophets? |
A43621 | Would not a zealous and holy keeping Gods holy day bring them to God? |
A43621 | Would not prayers many and long, and good too; and preaching many Sermons, and full good and Orthodox and saving Truths, bring them ● … o God? |
A43621 | Would not the being cry''d up for the most pure and godly party bring them to God? |
A43621 | Would not the worship of God in his own way bring them to God? |
A43621 | Would they afford either an Alms or Charity, or so much as a good word or look to any but their own Sect and Faction? |
A43621 | You have taken away my Gods which I made, and the Priest and you are gone away, and what have I more? |
A43621 | and another on his left knee? |
A43621 | and as honest? |
A43621 | and be uncoverd, when they bid thee be uncovered? |
A43621 | and did they learn this modern Orthodoxy out of the Primitive Simplicity? |
A43621 | and dost thou never send that Scripture home to thine own heart? |
A43621 | and from Aerius? |
A43621 | and get him into the House? |
A43621 | and give it strength, as well as life, by the same methods now, as in 1640? |
A43621 | and have not thy Superiours as much power to ordain Ceremonies in the Church? |
A43621 | and his mother a Strumpet? |
A43621 | and make him laugh, who is not one day without the company of one or other Chaplain( new as the day) to say grace for him, and make him laugh? |
A43621 | and nothing to the purpose? |
A43621 | and one of the three that came over in four Ships? |
A43621 | and then for prayers, long, long prayers, sacrifice, and indeed for all the worship of God prescribed in the four first commandments, who but they? |
A43621 | and who more deserving than Laud, who studied to do both God and his Majesty good service, and was so pious and wise, as aforesaid? |
A43621 | and why? |
A43621 | are not these within an inch and a half at least as bad as a Rationale upon the sacred Common- Prayer? |
A43621 | art thou disobedient? |
A43621 | as it was by the common Hangman; or too good for the Rebel Saints? |
A43621 | at the objection, why did not our Translators of the Bible, render the Original more exactly into English? |
A43621 | can any violate the Majesty of the Father, and the Son be untouch''d and unconcern''d? |
A43621 | can they play the men only to the women? |
A43621 | can those evil speakers, lyars and slanderers,( in the French and Greek Languages, Devils,) now be weary and shame the stock they came of? |
A43621 | continued he; what they? |
A43621 | could the Devil of hell ever abuse and wrest the Holy Scriptures, as these modern Orthodox: juglers and Sermon- mongers have done? |
A43621 | did not the Pharisees eat on the Sabbath days? |
A43621 | do they not know of the going on''t, and how it is laid out,& what they get for it? |
A43621 | had not said trinkle, Trinkle? |
A43621 | has his every day sport( and laughing, and jesting at one or other of the Clergy) How long will it be before it comes to my turn? |
A43621 | having neither accepted Sermon nor Lecture into your holy worship? |
A43621 | is craz''d? |
A43621 | is sermon done? |
A43621 | lose that thou madest a God on? |
A43621 | nay scratches one out of the Grave, L. Andrews late Bishop of Winchester? |
A43621 | never a Droll, or boon companion with a Cassock on? |
A43621 | not know thine own Preachers, prophesying in thy name, and such as have prayed too, Lord, Lord? |
A43621 | now rip them up again when they are healed and cicatrized? |
A43621 | or from Donatus? |
A43621 | or rather who are not so? |
A43621 | or serving God to day? |
A43621 | or what receiveth he of thy hand? |
A43621 | revive the Good Old Cause again, under the name of modern Orthodoxy? |
A43621 | scruple to renounce unlawful oaths and Covenants of disloyalty and Schisme? |
A43621 | should not you have done well in the Cabinet? |
A43621 | tell me seriously, was there ever any argument so vilely ridiculous, as this of the Cat? |
A43621 | that forgetting his serious office, will make a Gentleman merry,& rather than fail, with a Joque upon Scriptures make a little Play? |
A43621 | the King? |
A43621 | then say, his Father too was murther''d? |
A43621 | thou that sayst a man should not steal, or be disobedient; dost thou steal? |
A43621 | too good for what? |
A43621 | too good to be burnt does he mean? |
A43621 | was not the father of this E. H. some Jesuit? |
A43621 | was not the whore- son born at Tripoly? |
A43621 | was their Adversary, or should come to be Garter King at Arms? |
A43621 | were you at sermon to day? |
A43621 | what Cat, do ye think? |
A43621 | what never a Modern Orthodox man that can write like a man or, a Scholar? |
A43621 | what think you of putting that same Cat into the Press? |
A43621 | what would you have? |
A43621 | what''s that? |
A43621 | what? |
A43621 | where''s Hopkins the witch finder? |
A43621 | whose for me? |
A43621 | why? |
A43621 | writ against us, friends; and against our friends; and against Mr. — our friends friend; by one E. H. What is this E. H? |
A47927 | A Limited Toleration must Exclude Some; and why not You, as well as Another? |
A47927 | ANd why by Them, if by Any, I beseech ye? |
A47927 | Again, we are perpetually Alarm''d with Plotts, ye see; Now what better means then a Toleration, to draw the Conspirators into a Body? |
A47927 | And I beseech ye( if a body may ask) what mighty business hinder''d ye? |
A47927 | And I will not deny neither, but there are Good people in the mixture; shall All therefore be Indulg''d for the Honesty of some? |
A47927 | And can you Imagine that so many restless Humours, and disturb''d Consciences, will ever be Quiet without it? |
A47927 | And do not You your self believe it Better to Obey God then Man? |
A47927 | And is not That Every Mans Case as well as Yours? |
A47927 | And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism? |
A47927 | And now to hold you to the Question[ By Whom was the War in Scotland begun?] |
A47927 | And what do ye think of the Sccluded Members? |
A47927 | And what is Your Party, I beseech ye? |
A47927 | And what shall become of him that Preaches it, I beseech ye? |
A47927 | And what was This Cause, I beseech ye, but the Foulest Conspiracy that ever appear''d under that Masque? |
A47927 | And what''s a King without his People? |
A47927 | And which are Those I beseech ye? |
A47927 | And with Your Pardon too, How shall the Magistrate know whether your Conscience is opprest, or no, if he be no Judge of it? |
A47927 | And yet''t was That you Leagu''d and Covenanted to make your Pattern; but where do you Expect to Mend your Self, under That Form of Government? |
A47927 | And, I beseech ye, what is that which you Call Authority? |
A47927 | Answer me Soberly, What if a State should grant a Toleration, for all men to talk of God- Almighty as they please? |
A47927 | Are not These Sons of Zeal worthy of Encouragement, think ye? |
A47927 | Are not the Non- Conformists Numerous? |
A47927 | Are not the People ready to Tumult for want of it? |
A47927 | Are not you Convinc''d, that the most likely way in the world to stir up Subjects against their Prince, is to Proclaim the Iniquity of his Laws? |
A47927 | Are not you as well, Now, without any Toleration at all; as you will be Then without the Benefit of it? |
A47927 | Are they more Naked and Supportless, Now, than they were before the Long Parliament? |
A47927 | Are they one jot the Quieter for''t? |
A47927 | Are they ready to Tumult? |
A47927 | As for the Purpose, What is''t ye stick at? |
A47927 | Ask him now, Where the Danger lies? |
A47927 | At Whose Door Lies the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR? |
A47927 | At whose Door Lyes the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR? |
A47927 | Because God spares the Offender, shall Man therefore Tolerate the Offence? |
A47927 | Begin with your Clergy; would you have Them Indulg''d? |
A47927 | Betwixt the very Basis of Christianity, and the Superstructure? |
A47927 | But I beseech ye, Whether do You take to be the Greater Number? |
A47927 | But are not Some Opinions more Tolerable then Others? |
A47927 | But do ye say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince? |
A47927 | But is it not Pity,( considering our Duty is Obedience, and not Wisedom) that a Good man should be punished for not being a Wise Man? |
A47927 | But may not a Prince tye himself up in a Thing Otherwise Indifferent? |
A47927 | But tell me, I beseech ye, would you have no Toleration at all? |
A47927 | But the Question is First, Was the World ever without a Government, since the Creation of Man? |
A47927 | But to come to the short of the Question; This is it: Whether will you rather have, One fallible Iudge; or, a Million of Damnable Heresies? |
A47927 | But to go with the Moderate: Would you have All mens Consciences Govern''d by the same Rule, when''t is Impossible to bring them All to the same Mind? |
A47927 | But to the Point in hand; You Apply to the Parliament, and your Grievance is Matter of Conscience; Do ye make the Civil Power a Judge of Conscience? |
A47927 | But what can justifie the very Constitution of a Persecuting Law? |
A47927 | But what do ye mean by those Matters of Religion? |
A47927 | But what if I should Ask you now, Who were the Prime Conductors in That Enterprize? |
A47927 | But what if I should Long as much now to know what''t is that makes you so Inquisitive? |
A47927 | But what if the Subject shall accompt that Imposition Grievous which the Magistrate thinks Necessary? |
A47927 | But what is That Power which you call Nature? |
A47927 | But what is''t you call a Parliament? |
A47927 | But what''s the World to Mee, in the scale against my Soul? |
A47927 | But when the Death is Certain, and the Virtue Doubtfull, who shall decide the Question? |
A47927 | But where are our old Eli''s now, to sit watching and Trembling for fear of the Ark? |
A47927 | But where have you been in Earnest? |
A47927 | But where''s the Mischief of That Sermon I beseech ye? |
A47927 | But where''s your Brother- Scruple? |
A47927 | But who shall be Iudg of That? |
A47927 | But who shall be Judg of what''s Indifferent? |
A47927 | But why do I stand Fencing in a Case, where all that''s good for ought, even in the Favour''d Party, runs nigh an equal Perill? |
A47927 | But why do ye say, Persecuted? |
A47927 | But why should a Toleration do worse Here than in Holland? |
A47927 | But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be Ascrib''d only to Instinct in Brutes, and to Reason in Man? |
A47927 | But will not People be much more Peaceable, when they are Oblig''d, than when they are Persecuted? |
A47927 | But would you have That Probability, Govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions? |
A47927 | But, What do ye think, when the Making of One Law is the Transgression of Another? |
A47927 | But, prethee why was he Clapt up? |
A47927 | By whom I beseech ye was the Rebellion in Ireland begun? |
A47927 | By whom I beseech ye, was He Persecuted, Divested of All his Regalities, Assaulted, Immur''d, Depos''d, and Murder''d, but By Your Party, Gentlemen? |
A47927 | Can not Liberty of Conscience then consist with Civil Obedience? |
A47927 | Can there be any sin without Consent? |
A47927 | Can you either name Those Opinions, which you would have Indulg''d; or can you Expect a Toleration for all Opinions at a venture? |
A47927 | Can you imagine, that any Condition in the Delinquent can operate upon the Force, and Equity of the Law? |
A47927 | Can you remember the steps of the last Warr, and be of that Opinion? |
A47927 | Can you say This, and not blush to Deny the Force of your own Argument? |
A47927 | Can you your self Acquit him? |
A47927 | Come leave your Lashing, and tell me Soberly; What hurt do you find in''t? |
A47927 | Consider again; If there be any Hazard, wherein does it consist? |
A47927 | David was Pronounc''d a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murther and Adultery? |
A47927 | Did Wee sell him? |
A47927 | Did not the Presbyterians Vote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a Treaty? |
A47927 | Did ye do Well, or Ill in''t? |
A47927 | Do not You find your self Foul now upon the Old Rock of Universal Toleration again? |
A47927 | Do not you take Mr. — for a very sober well- weigh''d Person? |
A47927 | Do not you take the Persecuting Party to be generally in the Wrong? |
A47927 | Do so, What is''t? |
A47927 | Do ye Remember what he Says concerning his Promises from Breda? |
A47927 | Do ye Wonder at it? |
A47927 | Do ye mean, that it must be expressly mark''d out, and commanded There; or will it serve the Turn, if it be only not Prohibited? |
A47927 | Do ye put no Difference betwixt Points Fundamentally Necessary, and but Accidentally so? |
A47927 | Do ye think such a Toleration as This, either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant? |
A47927 | Do you believe, That it should ever have gone so far, if we Two could have Hinder''d it? |
A47927 | Do''s not the Act for Uniformity Debar us of it? |
A47927 | Does it follow that they have no Power, because they do not Exercise it? |
A47927 | Does not God command, that the Tares should be let alone till the Harvest? |
A47927 | Does not That Opinion destroy Christian Liberty? |
A47927 | Find it say ye? |
A47927 | For put Case, The King should Grant ye a Limited Toleration; would That Quiet ye? |
A47927 | For the Punishment of Evil- Doers, is the one half of the Magistrates Commission: and what''s an Evil- Doer, but the Transgressour of a Law? |
A47927 | Fourthly, The Enemies of God Blaspheme, and are ready to say, Where is your God? |
A47927 | From whom do ye Expect it? |
A47927 | Go to Scruple; If That be not the scope of your Monstrous Earnestness for a Toleration, pray''e tell me what is? |
A47927 | Go to, speak Truth, What made You and your Ladies so early abroad this Morning? |
A47927 | Have you forgot your self so soon? |
A47927 | Have you read the Kings late Declaration of December 26? |
A47927 | Have you well consider''d what will be the Fruit of Granting that Liberty? |
A47927 | How Inconsistent then is the Liberty of the Pulpit, with the Safety of the Government? |
A47927 | How comes it now that You Two, that can never Agree betwixt your selves, should yet Joyn in a Petition against Us? |
A47927 | How comes it now, that we that Agree so well i''the End, should Differ so much''i th''Way to''t? |
A47927 | How do They know when Christ was Born, or Crucify''d? |
A47927 | How do you know but you may Persecute God Himself, in a Right Conscience? |
A47927 | How far are his Lawes binding upon his Subjects? |
A47927 | How long do you believe that Government would stand, where the Multitude should take notice that their Rulers are afraid of them? |
A47927 | How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry? |
A47927 | How shall the Magistrate Distinguish, whom he should Punish, and whom Not? |
A47927 | How will you Reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case? |
A47927 | How will you divide your Duty? |
A47927 | I sent ye his Sermon last night, have ye overlookt it? |
A47927 | I suppose, I shall not need to tell ye the Event of it; But of which side were the Tender Consciences, For the King, or Against Him? |
A47927 | I will not Deny, but Ill things have been done: Shall All therefore be Condemn''d, for the Faults of Some? |
A47927 | I would you''d deal frankly with me: What is( really) your Opinion of the Honesty of your Party? |
A47927 | If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the the Fairest Probability Content you? |
A47927 | If he bee, How comes Your Conscience to take Place of His Authority? |
A47927 | If he chance to be slain:''T is but an f Accident; and who can help it? |
A47927 | If it be demanded in what capacity the King may be Resisted? |
A47927 | If such People as These may be Tolerated, where''s your ▪ Foundation of Faith, Good Life, and Government? |
A47927 | If ye Disclaim it, why do ye Petition to your Inferiour? |
A47927 | If you had put the Contrary Question, Y''had Pos''d me: Are not the Non- Conformists the Kings Subjects? |
A47927 | If you say, The Non- conformists; then They are not Honest enough to be Trusted;( would you have the King Gratifie the Murtherers of his Father?) |
A47927 | In good time; and what''s the Scope of your Petition? |
A47927 | Is any honest man the better for the Last War? |
A47927 | Is he at Liberty then? |
A47927 | Is it Reason think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and hunt for Meat when hee''s Hungry? |
A47927 | Is it not well then, to be Sure of the One, and in so fair Hopes of the Other? |
A47927 | Is it the Model, or the Uniformity that troubles you? |
A47927 | Is not God to be found in a Parlour, as well as in a Steeple- House? |
A47927 | Is not That Crime enough? |
A47927 | Is not That Sermon think ye that you sent me last Night a pretty Squib to cast into a populous ▪ Town, that''s Preach''d half to Gunpowder already? |
A47927 | Is not This to Charge the Church of England with Apostacy? |
A47927 | Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too? |
A47927 | Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge? |
A47927 | Is this your Eight a clock? |
A47927 | Is''t not so? |
A47927 | Liberty of Conscience? |
A47927 | Look back to the beginning of the Late Warr, and tell me; Do not you believe that there are more Non- Conformists Now, then there were Then? |
A47927 | Marqu''d for Destruction? |
A47927 | May not every thing Imaginable appear Non- Indifferent to some or other; if nothing can be commanded, but what upon such a Phansy may be Disobey''d? |
A47927 | May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not so to Another? |
A47927 | Nay, Certainly the Popular Form was first, for How could there be a King without a People? |
A47927 | Not at all; Your Actions indeed are Limited, but your Thoughts are Free; What do''s This or That Garment, or Gesture Concern the Conscience? |
A47927 | Now place the Power where ye please; Do ye own the Kings Authority, or do ye Disclaim it? |
A47927 | Now tell me, What Right have You to be Judges in your own Case, any more then They in Theirs? |
A47927 | Now the Question is not, Whether Imputed or not, but whether a Sin or no? |
A47927 | One man may have a Reall Scruple; and All the Rest, Pretend one; Who shall Distinguish? |
A47927 | Or do ye accompt the Sanction of any One Form Whatsoever, to be Lawfull? |
A47927 | Or that we owe them less After Misgovernment, than we did Before? |
A47927 | Or why should not All be Tolerated as well as Any? |
A47927 | Or will ye call it Choyce, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone? |
A47927 | Pray''e let mee ask you One Question: Who Brought in This King? |
A47927 | Pray''e where have You your Intelligence? |
A47927 | Prethee is''t a Secret? |
A47927 | Put case we were, what Then? |
A47927 | Ruine of Liberty? |
A47927 | Scruple, What say You to This? |
A47927 | Secondly, Whether was first in the World, One Man, or More? |
A47927 | Shall the King therefore Dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals? |
A47927 | Shall the Magistrate make me Act against my Conscience? |
A47927 | Shall the People be left to do what they List, because a great many of them, would do what they should not? |
A47927 | Shall the Subject make Him Tolerate against His? |
A47927 | Shall the Vice or Error of the Person, blemish the faultless Dignity of the Order? |
A47927 | Shall we stand to his Award what ever it be? |
A47927 | So that the Issue lies within This Compass; Whether the Soveraignty be in the King, or in the People? |
A47927 | Soft and fair, I beseech ye; what is''t you undertake to do? |
A47927 | Suppose the Determination to be manifest Errour, or Injustice; would you have the same Submission pay''d to''t, as if it were Equity, and Truth? |
A47927 | Take a- away the Sanction, and what signifies the Law? |
A47927 | The Ark of God is( at this instant) in Danger of being lost, D''ye see? |
A47927 | The Loss of the Ark? |
A47927 | The Question in hand is This; Whether the Nonconformists be not an Intelligent, as: well as a Numerous and Wealthy Party? |
A47927 | The Question is, Upon Whom the Guilt of the Kings Bloud lyes? |
A47927 | The Truth is, I am not yet Resolv''d to Burn for This Opinion; but what do ye think of a Limited, or Partial Toleration? |
A47927 | Their Opinions,& c. — For to Tolerate, No body knowes Whom, or What, would be a little with the Largest, I think; would it not? |
A47927 | Those that singly wish to be Discharg''d from the Act of Uniformity; or Those that would have no Law at all? |
A47927 | To give you a fresh Instance; What could be more Pious, Gracious, or Obliging, then his Majesties Late Declaration, in Favour of the Non- conformists? |
A47927 | Truth, or Authority? |
A47927 | Very Good, and what do ye think as to Matter of Conscience? |
A47927 | WHat ha''s your Party( Gentlemen) Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule, should be Granted in Your Favour? |
A47927 | WHat''s your Opinion of the Necessity of a Iudge? |
A47927 | Was Peters a Presbyterian? |
A47927 | We have it now from the same Hand, that the Ark is in Danger, and what''s that but The Good Old Cause over again, only a little vary''d in the Dress? |
A47927 | Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands? |
A47927 | Well, and How do ye find it? |
A47927 | Well, but supposing these unhappy Clashings among Themselves, how does that prove them in Confoederacy against the Publique? |
A47927 | Well, but what''s This to Us, or Our Opinions? |
A47927 | Were''t not a Thousand Pitties now, to refuse This Tender Sort of Christians a Toleration? |

A47927 | What follows upon''t? |
A47927 | What if a Single Person hitts That Truth which a General Council Misses? |
A47927 | What if it yields? |
A47927 | What is This but a meer Trifling of Government, to suppose a Law without an Obligation? |
A47927 | What is This, but to bring Authority to the Barr, and set the Subject upon the Bench? |
A47927 | What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdomes, but the Contrary? |
A47927 | What is it that either Invites Tyranny, or Upholds it, but the Opinion of an Unaccomptable- Sovereignty? |
A47927 | What is it, but in plain Terms, to sollicit the Multitude to a Tumult? |
A47927 | What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate? |
A47927 | What not in Case of Errour? |
A47927 | What swarms of Heresies have Over- spread This Land, since the Bible has been deliver''d up to the Interpretation of Private Spirits? |
A47927 | What was it but That which was given to Quiet the Faction that enabled them to take All the Rest? |
A47927 | What was it, but the Operation of That Poyson in the People, which was Instill''d into them by their Ministers? |
A47927 | What will you forfeit if I shew you Hundreds? |
A47927 | What will your Lives, or Estates avail ye, without the Gospel? |
A47927 | What''s David''s Case to Ours? |
A47927 | What''s Indifference to Christianity? |
A47927 | What''s to be done in This Case? |
A47927 | What''s your Conceit for That? |
A47927 | What''s your Opinion( Gentlemen) of the Warr Rais''d in — 41. was it a Rebellion, or no? |

A47927 | Where are our Moses''s, Our Elijah''s? |
A47927 | Where do they Dwell? |
A47927 | Where do ye find that Kings Reign upon Condition of Ruling Righteously? |
A47927 | Where is it Not rather; to any man that will but look about him, without winking? |
A47927 | Where''s the Equity of it as to Those that are Excluded? |
A47927 | Whether do you believe Scandal to be any more Tolerable, than Schism? |
A47927 | Whether of the Two shall Over- rule? |
A47927 | Which will you have him follow? |
A47927 | Who lays to Heart, Who Regards what shall become of Religion? |
A47927 | Who shall define, Which are Fundamentals, and which not? |
A47927 | Who shall pretend to Iudge of my Conscience, beside God, and my self? |
A47927 | Why do ye Charge those Exorbitancies upon the whole Party, that were the Crimes only of some Particular and Ambitious Men? |
A47927 | Why should not every Man be Govern''d by his Own Conscience, as well in Consort, as in Solitude? |
A47927 | Why then no more is Conscience; for if you exclude Pagans, upon what Accompt is''t? |
A47927 | Will Toleration suit All Judgments any better then Uniformity? |
A47927 | Will a Toleration of This Latitude content ye? |
A47927 | Will ye have it Generall? |
A47927 | Will ye have the Truth on''t? |
A47927 | Will ye make the Parliament then, and the Synod, Confederate with the Rabble? |
A47927 | Will ye now see the Correspondence betwixt these Gentlemens Words, and their Actions? |
A47927 | Will yee see then what they did afterward when they were at Liberty to do what they Listed? |
A47927 | Will you Divide your Matter then, and Assign to every Judicable Point, his Proper Judge? |
A47927 | Will you pretend to enter into Mens Thoughts? |
A47927 | Would ye have a particular Indulgence? |
A47927 | Would ye have it Granted in favour of the Conscience that Desires it, or in Allowance of the Tolerated Opinion? |
A47927 | Would you ha''me open my Door to a Troop of Thieves, because two or three of my honest Friends are in the Company? |
A47927 | Would you have a Law made that shall comply with All Consciences? |
A47927 | Y''Intend to Petition the Parliament; Do ye not? |
A47927 | You Love the Bishops too I hope, Do ye not? |
A47927 | You forget that you Condemn your own Practice; for why may not I Charge Personal Extravagancies upon your Party, as well as You do it upon Ours? |
A47927 | You have great Reason sure, and''t is no more than every man may challenge: That is, to Stand, or Fall, to his own Conscience: Is That your Principle? |
A47927 | You have speculated here some Airy Inconveniences; but where''s the Real hazard of receding from that Inexorable strictness? |
A47927 | You should rather have Asked, What can justifie the Toleration of a Troublesome People? |
A47927 | Your Party desires a Toleration, is''t not so? |
A47927 | [ And what follow''d?] |
A47927 | [ The Presbyterians Spoyl''d Him as a King, before Others Executed Him as a Private Man][ Have they not Hunted and Persu''d Him with Sword, and Fire? |
A47927 | [ f] Made Scotland one Common- wealth with England,& c. Have they now kept any better Touch with the Liberty and Property of the Subject? |
A47927 | and how far Reason of State may prevail for the Toleration of a sort of people in so many Respects considerable? |
A47927 | and what am I the better for That Enquiry, if when I have Learn''d my Duty, I am debar''d the Liberty to Practise it? |
A47927 | but what if you''ll understand That to be Schism, which I know to be Conscience? |
A47927 | narrowly look''d into, what are they but meere Phansie, Artifice, or Delusion? |
A47927 | or Estate? |
A47927 | or That Liberty Conscientious which the Magistrate believes Unlawful? |
A47927 | or any Consent without Knowledge? |
A47927 | or any Knowledge in a Case of Invincible Ignorance? |
A47927 | or rather, Was there any thing of Conscience in the Case? |
A47927 | or why should the King favour his Competitours? |
A47927 | or, Will ye have it, that our Duty to God ceases, in the Act of becoming Subjects to a Civil Magistrate? |
A47927 | shall we wrangle Eternally? |
A47927 | to tell them( in Effect) that They''ll be Damn''d, if they Obey; and( in a word) to make the Rabble Judges of their Governours? |
A47927 | was That a Iuggle too? |
A47927 | when the Glory is Gone, who would Desire to Live? |
A47927 | — What is the Glory of England; What is the Glory of Christianity but the Gospel? |
A26859 | 13. they are Commanded to be Followers of their Guides? |
A26859 | 2,& 3. to reform themselves, if they had not Power to do it? |
A26859 | 20. by reason of the number of them? |
A26859 | 60 But wherein lay the different Cases? |
A26859 | All Christian Churches are tied by the common Divine Rule; and is not consent to that enough to make a Church? |
A26859 | All men are heterodox in some degree? |
A26859 | All the doubt is, what is meant by the same Canon or Rule? |
A26859 | And are not the Church of England Protestants? |
A26859 | And are they not several Families still? |
A26859 | And are you sure that none are understanding that be not as partially Censorious as you? |
A26859 | And do you think that the Greek Churches have not Power to govern and reform themselves, though they be not a National Church? |
A26859 | And doth your rule do otherwise? |
A26859 | And had not those as good right that were not under the Roman Empire? |
A26859 | And how little hold is there of them; if so many of the best of them will so easily change with the times? |
A26859 | And if all be resolved into the implicite belief of the Bishops, why not of the civil Rulers as well? |
A26859 | And is all necessary which is lawful? |
A26859 | And is it his Civil Laws for Church- Government that you mean, or the Clergies Canons, or God''s Laws? |
A26859 | And is it not a whole Church, if it be without a Form, which not God but Man is the Author of? |
A26859 | And is not Printing a far more Publick declaration, than speaking it in one Room? |
A26859 | And is not Union possible with such as Cyprian and the Carthage Bishops? |
A26859 | And is not this a worse usurpation than to make new Ceremonies? |
A26859 | And is the Controversy de nomine, Whether they might be called the Lydian Church, when we expected a satisfactory explication de re? |
A26859 | And is this in your judgment, a tolerable Plea for Separation? |
A26859 | And it is not much better to pretend that I or they were in all things of their mind: Doth the Assemblies judgment concern me any more than you? |
A26859 | And must we have no Union till we can in all things think as you do? |
A26859 | And now to your[ Why not?] |
A26859 | And now, is the Synods Judgment more ours or yours? |
A26859 | And of Man''s making, who can number the sorts that are and may be made? |
A26859 | And of the first sort, what Independent is there that holdeth not an Vniversal Church at least, besides particular Congregations? |
A26859 | And what be the common Tyes and Rules of Order which you mean? |
A26859 | And what if any Subjects think that the King is not Orthodox? |
A26859 | And what if they be under divers Kings( as the Bulgarians and Greeks were,) and yet ruled by one Ecclesiastick Authority and Law? |
A26859 | And when you ask,[ Is it for fear they should have none left to preach to?] |
A26859 | And who doth not distinguish between the Constitution and Administration, the Status and the Exercitium? |
A26859 | And who then is the great Nonconformist and Separatist, You or I; if this be your mind? |
A26859 | And why might it not be called the Lydian Church while it was a part of the Empire, as the African and other Countries were? |
A26859 | And will you own that for these, dissenters may be called Schismaticks? |
A26859 | And yet are you one that would have them all Silenced? |
A26859 | And you make it not intelligible, whether by the Rules of the Christian Religion you mean only the Divine Rule? |
A26859 | And ▪ Must they therefore Live without Sacramental Communion? |
A26859 | And, If this be true, Is it Schism to take such for none of our Pastors? |
A26859 | And, VVhat need have we to pray, Lead us not into Temptation? |
A26859 | And, if they seek Relief of Nonconforming Ministers, Publickly and Privately, Whether it be Sinful Separation? |
A26859 | And, is it not a Hindering of God''s Word? |
A26859 | Are all different modes of Worship enough to make our Party Separatists? |
A26859 | Are none of our Hearers more competent Judges than their Accusers, what profiteth their own Souls? |
A26859 | Are none of our hearers more competent judges than their Accusers what profiteth their own souls? |
A26859 | Are not the Laity, by your Canon to be denied the Sacrament, if they be not willing of your Episcopal Confirmation? |
A26859 | Are not the Laity, by your Canon, forbidden to Receive the Sacrament in another Parish? |
A26859 | Are not the Laity, that dare not Receive the Sacrament Kneeling, for the Reasons else- where mentioned, to be denied the Sacrament by your Rule? |
A26859 | Are these notifying Terms for a Definition? |
A26859 | Are these separating Schismaticks, that differ from each other? |
A26859 | Are they bound to Sin against their Consciences, or to leave their Children Unbaptised? |
A26859 | Are you sure, that the Independents take your Parishes for true Churches? |
A26859 | As if they that have Communion with your Diocesan- Church, must have Communion with no other? |
A26859 | At least, Who will think, that you may Judge them Separatists, or guilty of Schism? |
A26859 | Be the thousands of your Parish as wise that hear you not? |
A26859 | But do you understanding men know our hearts better than we? |
A26859 | But either this Synod were in the right or not: If not, why then will you follow them, or plead their testimony? |
A26859 | But if it be not the Laws of Usurpers in the Roman Empire by your measure? |
A26859 | But if it be omitting any thing else in your rule that maketh a separation, what is it? |
A26859 | But is the remedy impossible to the Imposers? |
A26859 | But is there no more in your Application? |
A26859 | But what abundance of Church- Forms, Supream and Subordinate may diversity of Magistracy make? |
A26859 | But what if the Law forbad you to preach at a certain hour — do you separate from the Church, if you miss your hour? |
A26859 | But what is all this de nomine to the Controversy? |
A26859 | But what is all this to the business of Separation? |
A26859 | But who shall judge whether the Bishops be Orthodox? |
A26859 | But, What is Man? |
A26859 | But, others do? |
A26859 | By what Law? |
A26859 | Can you tell so easily why it was done, and not tell that indeed it was done at all? |
A26859 | Christian Societies are of divers species: Do you mean Christian Civil Societies, Kingdoms, free Cities,& c. or Churches? |
A26859 | Did Robert Grosthead of Lincoln take this to be the greatest Sin save Antichrists, and do you take it for an Act Authoriz''d? |
A26859 | Did not you conform to them as much as I did? |
A26859 | Did our 18 or 19 years Silencing them, do that? |
A26859 | Did the Churches under the Roman Power exercise their great diversity in Liturgies and other accidents of Worship without right? |
A26859 | Did you not write to be understood? |
A26859 | Did you write this as a Confutation of any body? |
A26859 | Do not my Books which you cite, copiously express the contrary? |
A26859 | Do we condemn men that do not all that is lawful to do? |
A26859 | Do we not over and over tell Men, that the word[ Church] must be considered as equivocal, generical, and specifical? |
A26859 | Do we take[ the Holy Catholick Church] in the Creed for a particular Congregation? |
A26859 | Do you make Separation and distinct Communion the same thing, 〈 ◊ 〉 divers? |
A26859 | Do you mean all these? |
A26859 | Do you mean here by[ Rulers] the same as before by[ Laws] or what mean you? |
A26859 | Do you mean that a[ Church] hath but one Notion? |
A26859 | Do you not differ much more among your selves; as I before shewed? |
A26859 | Do you take Separation here in the same sence as before and after; or Equivocally? |
A26859 | Do you take all the Christians in the Turkish Empire to be one National Church, or not? |
A26859 | Do you think that he is a Separatist that meeteth not in the same Parish Church with you? |
A26859 | Do you think the Papists had not rather( with you) that we were Silenced, than that we Preach, who have been their greatest Adversaries? |
A26859 | Do you think there is no other Species of a Church, besides that which is Constituted by the Christian Magistrate as Head? |
A26859 | Doth any Man believe that it is in all these Texts taken in the same Notion( or sence)? |
A26859 | Doth bare Conforming make all this difference? |
A26859 | Doth it not allow the Sacred Scriptures? |
A26859 | Doth making a City or Kingdom dissolve Families? |
A26859 | Doth not our Practice( who go to the Parish Churches) shew our Judgments to the People if we said nothing? |
A26859 | For where was any separation made but upon such a pretence? |
A26859 | Had not they a right to govern and reform themselves variously as they did? |
A26859 | Have I flattered them? |
A26859 | Have I not said more against their faults than you have done, though not against their Duty? |
A26859 | Have not all Diocesan Churches power to govern and reform themselves? |
A26859 | Hooker doth, That if he be the Head of a Christian Church, it is necessary that he be a Christian? |
A26859 | How can I know whom to obey, or when I separate from the Form of Government, if I know not what it is? |
A26859 | How can you think that we can feel their censures, when we have so much worse to feel from the Canoneers? |
A26859 | How come some that I thought the wisest that I know of your Auditors, to say as I say, and lament your Case? |
A26859 | How dreadful and unsearchable are the Judgments of God? |
A26859 | How few Congregations are so happy as yours, if all your Auditors are so much wiser? |
A26859 | How many Hundred Congregations have Incumbents, whom the People never consented to; but take them for their Hinderers and Burden? |
A26859 | How prove you that it is lawful for such to use more suitable helps, though Men forbid it? |
A26859 | How then can you prove it True, that we Condemn them? |
A26859 | How then could you say,[ If this be true, the Church must be dissolved as soon as the Congregation is broken up]? |
A26859 | How then did you expect to be believed when our Books are in so many hands? |
A26859 | How would you have all these score thousands spend the Lords day? |
A26859 | I Answer First, How knoweth he the Negative that never heareth them, but like a separatist avoideth it as unlawful? |
A26859 | I ask''t you formerly, is it not Sacrilege, to Alienate( unjustly) Devoted, Consecrated Persons, and worse than to Alienate Lands or Monies? |
A26859 | I can not imagine what you will reply to this? |
A26859 | I think he is bound to do more good then they, and not authorized to do more hurt? |
A26859 | I. Q. I entreat you to tell me more plainly, which is the constitutive Regent part of a National Church? |
A26859 | If I should Preach to them all against separation, and for Prelacy, were it unlawful? |
A26859 | If Men can spare the Ministry, Why are they Maintained? |
A26859 | If a Usurper get Possession( as K. Stephen and many others,) is the National Church then dead or null? |
A26859 | If any in New- England had done it, is that our doing? |
A26859 | If men be wrongfully Excommunicate, are they thereby absolved from all publick Worshipping of God? |
A26859 | If men will ca nt over still, Who shall be Judge? |
A26859 | If not, how could the Christian Church in its best and purest times, pretend to reduce Bishops and Presbyters to a Lay- Communion? |
A26859 | If not; Is not difference in such Doctrines as great a difference, as using and not useing some of your Liturgick Forms and Ceremonies? |
A26859 | If the Act of Vniformity, or the Canons be your Religion, Do not they allow God''s Word? |
A26859 | If the Dean of St. Pauls be called the Parson of the Parish, and Preach to others that can Hear him, Will that serve the Needs of all the rest? |
A26859 | If they are needful for the Safety of Mens Souls, Must so many Thousands hazard their Souls for want of needful Help, lest they be called Separatists? |
A26859 | If this be unjust, is it Separation to be so Excommunicated? |
A26859 | If we prefer our Little interest, why do we not Conform? |
A26859 | If yea, than how much more would such Conformity to sin do it? |
A26859 | Is Authority vain, unless all the rest turn like to Atheists? |
A26859 | Is all the Matter, that We are Teachers, which the Law alloweth not? |
A26859 | Is any time or place allowed us to preach in? |
A26859 | Is every line and Ceremony Essential to the Church, and to each member? |
A26859 | Is every one a Separatist that differeth from you in Doctrine, in publick Preaching? |
A26859 | Is he a Separatist that liveth in your Parish, and ordinarily meeteth not in your Temple, but another allowed place? |
A26859 | Is it Papists, Arrians, Eutychians,& c. or only the Orthodox? |
A26859 | Is it Schism in France, and such other Countries, for the Protestants to Meet to Preach and Worship God, against the Wills of the King and Bishops? |
A26859 | Is it Schism, or Sinful Separation, to Disobey a Command about Religion, which no Man hath true Authority to Give? |
A26859 | Is it Schism, to Obey such Commands? |
A26859 | Is it Separation for men to Refuse ▪ Pastors that are Usurpers, and have no true Power over them? |
A26859 | Is it a sin to know when a man is in prison, or when his goods or books are distrained,& c? |
A26859 | Is it because they neither Separate from the Conformists, or Nonconformists? |
A26859 | Is it better let them hear none at all than that we preach to them? |
A26859 | Is it for fear they should have none left to Preach to? |
A26859 | Is it herefore unlawful, for any to teach them there, or receive them to pub ● ike Worship? |
A26859 | Is it not likely that in season they preach their judgment? |
A26859 | Is it only de nomine, or de re that you ask? |
A26859 | Is it true, that I totally or ordinarily forbear? |
A26859 | Is it unlawful to preach when forbidden, or worship God when forbidden, at Japon, Indostan, China, Turkie, France,& c. or only in England? |
A26859 | Is not the Separation of whole Churches much worse than of single Persons from one Church, when it is upon unwarrantable cause or reasons? |
A26859 | Is our Concent with the Universal Church, or your singularity from it, liker to Schism or Separation? |
A26859 | Is that Separating? |
A26859 | Is this it that you mean in your Description? |
A26859 | Is this nothing to our Case? |
A26859 | Is this the formal reason of separation? |
A26859 | Is this then any satisfying Definition? |
A26859 | It must needs be then against my will; and is none of my size to be endured? |
A26859 | It s true: But did they do well or ill before? |
A26859 | It''s lawful to have Communion with an ignorant Reader, or a drunken Priest( at least in your Judgment;) Is it therefore a duty to seek no better? |
A26859 | It''s lawful to have Communion with the French, Dutch, or Greek Church; must constant Communion be therefore a Duty? |
A26859 | Let that be the rule: who shall be judge whether it be sin or not? |
A26859 | May it not be a Parliament when the House is risen, tho it be only for the work of assembled Men that they are related and denominated? |
A26859 | May it not continue a School, when the Boys go home or play? |
A26859 | Men may be saved that hear not you: But how can they believe, unless they hear, or hear without a Preacher? |
A26859 | Must we not then Meet and Worship as we can, when you wrongfully Excommunicate us? |
A26859 | Must we repeat these things as oft as you accuse us? |
A26859 | Nay what Church is there to be named, that doth not assume this power to it self, without the least suspition of Sacriledge? |
A26859 | No doubt of that: But to what purpose is it? |
A26859 | Or do you take a Christian Kingdom and a Christian Church for the same, as the Erastians do? |
A26859 | Or is it that two National Churches may have different Accidents of Worship or Discipline? |
A26859 | Or which of them? |
A26859 | Or why not as the Papists on Pope and Councils? |
A26859 | Or, Have you proved, That I go by any other Rule? |
A26859 | Or, if they be your Rules, omitting that, Is not Vsing another? |
A26859 | Q. I intreat you tell me plainly, what you would have the many score thousands do on the Lords days, who can not hear in the Parish Churches? |
A26859 | Secondly, whether( if humane) its Power be from the Prince, or from the Consent of the particular Churches? |
A26859 | So farr as your accusation is untrue as to the fact, it''s but a further ill intimation to ask, why they do not that which they do? |
A26859 | So that you do no worse, than for Union, to prove our Union impossible: and who is it that makes it so? |
A26859 | Sure it is not to Refuse an usurper of the Kingly Power? |
A26859 | Teach us what to say to the Papists, when they shall accordingly say to us[ what though there was no Vniversal Pastor in the Primitive times? |
A26859 | The Duke of Brandenburghs Subjects judge him not Orthodox: Are they therefore absolved from obeying him in matters of Religion? |
A26859 | The word Heresie with a Papist, and the word[ Separation] and[ Schism] with some Conformists, seem to be terms of Art: But what Art is it? |
A26859 | Thirdly, what it is empowered to do? |
A26859 | This being past doubt, were the Universal Church Separatists? |
A26859 | This is true: and when said we otherwise? |
A26859 | Though you excel us, do all others so? |
A26859 | Till you tell us, how can we judge of our separation: what if an interdict silence all the Ministers in a Kingdome, must all obey? |
A26859 | V. Doth every disobedience to the King, and Laws, and Canons in matters of Religion, Government and Worship, make men Separatists? |
A26859 | VVhat are the Rules which we go by, which the Established Religion alloweth not? |
A26859 | Was Guildas a Separatist that told the Brittish Wicked Priests, That they were not Christ''s Ministers, but Traitours? |
A26859 | Was it a Divine Rule or a Humane? |
A26859 | Was there not this Agreement in the case of Cyprian and the Council, who persuaded the People to separate from Martial and Basilides? |
A26859 | We have been silent about eighteen years, while men have call''d to us[ What is it that you would have?] |
A26859 | Well; now what is the crime of separation? |
A26859 | Were all those Councils Separatists, that Decreed, That none shall hear Mass from a Fornicating Priest? |
A26859 | Were they not as much your Brethren as mine, and nearer to your Judgment? |
A26859 | Were you not willing to take notice of this? |
A26859 | What Cause have we all to VVatch and Pray, That We enter not into Temptation? |
A26859 | What Law of God bindeth all Men to stand to their Choice? |
A26859 | What Sacraments do you mean? |
A26859 | What a Case were Hungary, Poland, France, Germany, and the Greek Churches in, if this were true? |
A26859 | What a sad Case were the Christian World in, if we may lawfully have no other Pastors than Gentlemen and Princes choose for us? |
A26859 | What distinction of Communion is it that you mean? |
A26859 | What doth your National Church differ from a Christian Kingdom, which we deny not? |
A26859 | What harm will it do me, or them, if my Hearers go from me( as you say) to Dr. O? |
A26859 | What if culpably they would hear no other? |
A26859 | What if it be more then can be spared without the Churches wrong? |
A26859 | What if it be most, must most obey? |
A26859 | What if the fault which we blame some for, be their judging it unlawful to hear such as you? |
A26859 | What if we held that the Church were so called barely in relation to Publick Worship? |
A26859 | What if you by Calumny call my ordinary hearers Separatists, and they are not such? |
A26859 | What is it for? |
A26859 | What mean you by the[ Notion of a Church] which all Men know is an equivocal word? |
A26859 | What mean you by[ Forming] a Congregation? |
A26859 | What mean you then by reducing these Kingdoms back to Families, when they are Families still? |
A26859 | What shew is there of such a consequence? |
A26859 | What wonder if you shall do so? |
A26859 | What''s that to me, and all such other? |
A26859 | When Christ tells us how hard it is for the Rich to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? |
A26859 | When there are 〈 ◊ 〉 many things which may distinguish? |
A26859 | Where then will you fix the notifying Character? |
A26859 | Whether Heathens, Infidels, Mahometans, Socinians, Arians, Macedonians, Eutkchians, Monothelites, Image- worshipers, Papists, Anabaptists, or who? |
A26859 | Whether the King, or a Sacerdotal Head? |
A26859 | Whether to Separate from such a Parish, be to Separate from a Church in the sense in question? |
A26859 | Which Party are the Schismatick? |
A26859 | Which of the Bishops thought it any Sin, in the Dayes of Usurpation, to forsake their Parish- Churches? |
A26859 | Who made You a more Reverend and Credible Judge of Separation, than Cyprian, and this Council? |
A26859 | Whom did we cast out of all Church Maintenance? |
A26859 | Whom did we ever forbid to Preach the truth? |
A26859 | Whom did we imprison? |
A26859 | Why ask you[ To what purpose should you resolve those Queries?] |
A26859 | Why do they not Preach it to them in their Congregations? |
A26859 | Why may not Divine Laws make a Church? |
A26859 | Why then do you tell me of what I have written against Separation? |
A26859 | Why then may they not make as many forms as there are Kingdomes, if not an universal Pope by the consent of most? |
A26859 | Why think you that it is worse than that so many be untaught? |
A26859 | Why will you so reproach your Church? |
A26859 | Will you own that yet they may in his name be imposed on the World? |
A26859 | Will you own them to be devised without Gods authority, and yet to be preferred to those that he instituted? |
A26859 | Will you own your Churches de Specie to be new, and yet appeal to antiquity? |
A26859 | Will your Logick prove, that we call it their fault to hear us; as if hearing us, and not hearing you, were words of the same signification? |
A26859 | With such not ● to Eat,] and[ From such turn away 〈 ◊ 〉 it I ● tolerable? |
A26859 | Would I have none taught the knowledge of Christ, but by my self? |
A26859 | Would you have Excommunicate Men, Communicate with you? |
A26859 | Would you think that all this intimated silence were an untruth against publick Testimony? |
A26859 | Yea, if your Church be but a Christian Kingdom, do not you cut off all from that Kingdom too, that refuse your Forms or Ceremonies or Subscriptions? |
A26859 | You Separate from My Auditory, and more than Separate; and I Separate not from Yours: Who then is the Separatist? |
A26859 | You say[ we deny the fact which is evident to all persons] and you speak of me: Is this true? |
A26859 | You will not tell me, because you can not tell me, how we shall know what Magistrates they be that have this trust? |
A26859 | [ But why then is this kept as such a mighty secret in the Breasts of their Teachers? |
A26859 | [ They generally yield, that our Parochial Churches are true Churches; and it is with these that Communion is required] Say you so? |
A26859 | [ Where are the Priscillians that have been put to death by their instigation? |
A26859 | and doth not more to make them to be of two Churches? |
A26859 | and have they not still a distinct Family- power to govern and reform themselves, tho not a Regal Power? |
A26859 | and how it cometh to be any great matter to separate from a Church- Form which God never made? |
A26859 | and how it is proved? |
A26859 | and that he was not Eximius Christianus, that would call them Priests, or Ministers of Christ? |
A26859 | and that the Chief Power was in them, to Choose the Worthy, or Refuse the Unworthy? |
A26859 | and that they were guilty of Sin, if they joyned with such Sinners? |
A26859 | and to dread the Spiritual Judgments of God? |
A26859 | and where? |
A26859 | and whether you mention it as the uniting Bond, or only as a Rule to some humane Rule? |
A26859 | and who hath the Power ever since? |
A26859 | and who is the Schismatick here? |
A26859 | and who must judge of their qualifications? |
A26859 | and, Why then of the Church- Power? |
A26859 | doth it follow that this Relation ceaseth as soon as the several Acts of Worship cease? |
A26859 | may we then lawfully Preach to them? |
A26859 | must the Church be still in infancy? |
A26859 | nor why you would intimate the contrary to your Readers? |
A26859 | or a Christian more than a heathen? |
A26859 | or do they lose their Right to all Church- Communion? |
A26859 | or not willing that others should take notice of it? |
A26859 | or to make them all do that which they think to be unlawful? |
A26859 | or, Prefer such pastors as Refuse them? |
A26859 | or, any other to receive them, if they dare not Receive it from a Non- Preaching Minister at Home? |
A26859 | we do it by no other rule but the Scripture; and doth not the Church require that the Scripture be a Rule? |
A26859 | what Informers, what indictments, what prosecutions, what invectives are equally against all these aforesaid? |
A26859 | what more natural than to propagate our like? |
A26859 | what though many things in discipline and worship be changed since? |
A26859 | why may not they also be called One Church, as the Moscovites are now called part of the Greek Church? |
A26859 | why must you disturb the peace of the Church by reducing things to the infant State? |
A26859 | yea, and think this impertinent to the business? |
A61876 | ''T is filthiness; Will a man continue in filth, in dirt and mire: In the filth of the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life? |

A61876 | How shall we do to please God? |
A61876 | I the Lord have spoken it,& c. HAth he said it, and shall he not do it? |
A61876 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
A61876 | If God do not stand in the way, and hedge up the way with thornes? |
A61876 | If all this be so, then consider we ▪ our selves, Are we purged from our filthiness? |

A61876 | Now I beseech you let''s deal truly with our selves, do not we conform to this world in these? |
A61876 | Now do you think in your Consciences that Carding and Dicing, as commonly used, is done to the glory of God? |
A61876 | Now is it thus used, and if not, is it according to the rule? |
A61876 | Now is not this a good reason why the people of God should not conform to this world? |
A61876 | Now shall Believers conform to, and yoke with unbelievers? |
A61876 | Now shall Christians conform to the crucifiers of Christ? |

A61876 | Now shall the Happy conform to the Miserable? |
A61876 | Now shall the Heavenly conform to the Earthly? |
A61876 | Now shall the Houshold of God conform to the Houshold of Satan? |
A61876 | Now shall the Innocent conform to the Hurtful? |
A61876 | Now shall the Sons and Daughters of God conform to the Bastards of this world? |
A61876 | Now shall they who are a live to God, conform to those who are dead in sin? |
A61876 | Now shall they who do or should guide their affairs with discretion, conform to those who are void of counsel, or whole counsel is carried headlong? |
A61876 | Now sirs, when all shall forsake you, if you shall not be able to say with Paul, the Lord stands by me, what will you do? |
A61876 | Now, judge in your own Consciences, should they who have such excellent patterns, conform to the pattern of a base world? |
A61876 | O my Lord, saith he, If the Lord be with us, why is all this be fallen us? |
A61876 | Oh what is this that thou hast done? |
A61876 | Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
A61876 | Our chaffe scattered and burnt? |
A61876 | Our dross separated from us? |
A61876 | Our filth done away? |
A61876 | Our rust gotten off? |
A61876 | Pray then for the presence of God, let God see that you will not be satisfied without him: How unsatisfied are some without Persons and Things? |
A61876 | Quarrelsom, Contentious; Are not Professors so too? |
A61876 | Redeeming of time, to spend so many hours in making provision for the flesh? |
A61876 | Revengeful; Are not Professors so too? |
A61876 | Say again Have I applied it, and am I cleanfed from my filthiness? |
A61876 | Say to thy self, Does not water in Baptism signifie and seal by Divine Institution? |
A61876 | Say to thy self, Does not water in Baptism signifie and seal the cleansing blood of Christ, and our justification and sanctification thereby? |
A61876 | Say to thy self, was not this water applied to me? |
A61876 | Say, Believe O my soul, go to the fountain, wilt thou dye in thy filth, and under the fury of the Almighty God? |
A61876 | Secondly, Can you think of a better, a safer course? |
A61876 | Secondly, What meant by Conformed? |
A61876 | Secondly, Where? |
A61876 | Secondly, Where? |
A61876 | Should they who have Christ and the Spirit of God in them, conform to them who have Satan and the Spirit of the world in them? |
A61876 | Si ● s were you clean born, shaped in holiness? |
A61876 | Sirs, who layes the Cloth, who spreads the Table, who sends in provision? |
A61876 | Sirs, would you have his company, whom you have no love for? |
A61876 | So Moses tells the same people, If thou shalt say in thy heart, these Nations are more then I, how can I dispossess them? |
A61876 | So will God say to thee, if thou say to hi, as Ahab said to Jehosaphat; wilt thou go with me to Ramoth Gilead? |
A61876 | So, sinner what is this that thou hast done? |
A61876 | Such as are upright in their way are his delight: and what will not a man do for such in whom he delights? |
A61876 | The Holy Spirit is not? |
A61876 | Then examine, Is God with us? |
A61876 | There shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their own lusts( and sure they are come) Saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A61876 | Therefore what ever you do, get God to be with you: Secondly, The world is with you, and''t is a bewitching, ensnaring, and mischeiving world? |
A61876 | These are terrible threats, but who trembles at the reading or hearing of them? |
A61876 | Thirdly, If you can not, are you resolved upon this? |
A61876 | Thirdly, When? |
A61876 | To Glorifie God with our bodies? |
A61876 | To be Transformed by the renewing of your minds? |
A61876 | To justifie the worl ●? |
A61876 | Treacherous; Are not Professors so too? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a Refuge, a Rock, a Tower, when you are pursued, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a portion, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a shelter in a Storm 〈 ◊ 〉 not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a shield in Battel, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to an Inheritance, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to the Light, is not that of use? |
A61876 | We are in misery, we are unworthy, we are weak, and yet provoking; And doth God suit with such? |
A61876 | What a presence of God had Paul with him? |
A61876 | What are your Bodies which you thus dress up and adorn? |
A61876 | What direction can you give us? |
A61876 | What have you for God to do? |
A61876 | What is this that thou hast done? |
A61876 | What shall I say to you? |
A61876 | What shall I say to you? |
A61876 | What shall we say to these things? |
A61876 | What stony hearts have they that will not yield when God thus beseeches by his mercies bestowed on them? |
A61876 | What terrible things did he do by the Red Sea? |
A61876 | What then is there no avoiding of this fury? |
A61876 | What to strive for state, to seek for preheminence over one another; to be greatest, highest, bravest, finest? |
A61876 | What were your Heads, Ears, Eyes, and Tongues? |
A61876 | What were your Hearts, and Hands? |
A61876 | What will you do in the day when God shall come to deal with you, and reckon with you about your layings out upon your Pride? |
A61876 | What work will the Devil make, if God be not with us to deliver us? |
A61876 | What, will you strive with your Maker? |
A61876 | When shall it once be? |
A61876 | Whither will the Devil drive you, if God do not stop him? |
A61876 | Why Sirs shall God loose and miss of the main end of bestowing his mercies on you? |
A61876 | Why do you not rather suffer your selves to be derided and despised? |
A61876 | Why have you done this? |
A61876 | Why then should I not obey this command, and believe and rest on Christ for my cleansing? |
A61876 | Will not Linnen, Brass and Pewter Vessels be made clean, nor Bodies be purged without allowing time? |
A61876 | Will you conform to these in the Devils ways? |
A61876 | Will you hazard and endanger your selves by conforming to, and keeping company with the men of this world? |
A61876 | Wilt thou not be made clean? |
A61876 | Wilt thou not be made clean? |
A61876 | Winning others by your conversation? |
A61876 | Working out your salvation with fear and trembling? |
A61876 | Would Professors were not so too? |
A61876 | Would Professors were not so too? |
A61876 | You would not suffer with it, and will you sin with it? |
A61876 | You your selves turn away from filthy Creatures; and will not God much more turn away from filthy sinners? |
A61876 | and can not the Father be with the Child that is many miles distant from him? |
A61876 | and that from poor despicable Creatures, your servants? |
A61876 | and that, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? |
A61876 | and will you serve their Idols? |
A61876 | even we who in some things are Non- conformists? |
A61876 | for should they of better principles conform to them of worse? |
A61876 | or shall ever any person be able to say, I would have had Jesus Christ, to be with me as a Prophet, Priest and King, but he would not? |
A61876 | or what communion hath light with darkness? |
A61876 | shall I praise you in this? |
A61876 | shall any person be ever able to say, I would have had God to be my God, and to be with me as a Father, Friend, and Husband, but he would not? |
A61876 | shall it ever be said, this poor Soul would have had the presence of God, but God would not afford it? |
A61876 | what to those that hate you, scorn you, scoff at you, make songs upon you, speak evil of you, and separate from you in Gods ways? |
A61876 | when shall it once be? |
A61876 | who ever sought the presence of God; and was denied it? |
A61876 | with such as are in misery? |
A61876 | would Daniel be with God to the Hazard of his life? |
A61876 | would you have him, whom you do not love to come unto you? |
A61876 | would you have your souls gathered hereafter with those you conform to here, and whose fashions you have learned here? |
A61876 | would you not think him to be of a flinty heart? |
A61876 | yes, for he is gracious: and with the weak? |
A61876 | yes, for he is long suffering, and with backslider ●? |
A61876 | yes, for he is merciful: and with such as are unworthy? |
A26911 | & c. And doth not the Canon yet disable them from bringing them to hear a Sermon at the next Parish Church, when they have none at Home? |
A26911 | & c. Is the word Church here taken for no Christians longer than they are Assembled? |
A26911 | 15. and 23,& c. How can you pray for a Reformation of that which you think needeth none? |
A26911 | 27. prove, that all Nations in the World might devote their Children unto God, with the same assurance of acceptation as the Israelites? |
A26911 | 6. when there were none?) |
A26911 | A Pope is one that claimeth Soveraignty over all the Church on Earth: Doth he do so that taketh none for his Flock, but Consenters? |
A26911 | Again I ask, Shall any man escape punishement by such a plea of mercy? |
A26911 | Alas, how little know you what the Conformity is which you defend? |
A26911 | Am I also a Rebel, Traytor, and no Christian, if I refuse? |
A26911 | And are not the London Ministers able good men, that would do it if they could? |
A26911 | And are not these made Judges of the sense of the Law? |
A26911 | And can you think that after all this, they meant to leave it to the particular Bishops, whether there should be any Uniformity or not? |
A26911 | And did you ever know a Child Baptized without any Sponsor? |
A26911 | And do not Papists, and Turks say, that No Law against God is in force? |
A26911 | And do you not plead for it openly, declaring that you Assent and Consent to all things contained in it, and prescribed by it? |
A26911 | And doth not this imply, that else he should not come? |
A26911 | And doth the Acts, being placed first, make it no Appendix? |
A26911 | And doth their Government therefore contain no evil? |
A26911 | And hath the Church and Cause of holy Discipline lost so much of your prayers too? |
A26911 | And here he talks of the Corporation Oath, and exclaimeth[ Is this the way of curing Church Divisions? |
A26911 | And how can the Incumbent know in such Parishes what they are? |
A26911 | And how is it possible this can be amended rebus sic stantibus? |
A26911 | And how is that proved? |
A26911 | And how many such have you known in London excommunicated, or openly suspended? |
A26911 | And if my Dissent do not Unchristen me, why doth the People''s Unchristen them? |
A26911 | And if none be proper, what is it for him to be Great and One Law- giver to his Church? |
A26911 | And if we begin to roul down the Hill, how little know we where to stop? |
A26911 | And is all this fit Work for two or three singular Men? |
A26911 | And is such a Man Unconverted? |
A26911 | And is this the Power of the Keys or Excommunication? |
A26911 | And is this the true and only way of Concord? |
A26911 | And know you not that a Bishop hath no power against the Canons? |
A26911 | And may not one profess any thing at that Rate? |
A26911 | And must not you be a Non- conformist in the Diocess of any such Bishop as these? |
A26911 | And must we be punished for Conforming? |
A26911 | And shall any Wise Man follow such quick Changes? |
A26911 | And should this be nothing to you, who call on us to reverence the Old Conformists? |
A26911 | And that all are against it as with us that are against Diocesan Prelacy? |
A26911 | And they have caused the Act of Elizabeth, to be bound with this Book, as it was with the Old: And doth this infer two Books from two Acts,& c? |
A26911 | And to what purpose then do you write for Conformity, when one Lye must not be told to save our Liberty? |
A26911 | And were it put in the end, were it not the same thing? |
A26911 | And what can constrain an unwilling person to understand? |
A26911 | And what drew you to begin with Reordination( which none of the Antient Non- Conformists are put upon?) |
A26911 | And what good would so much Conformity do the Church? |
A26911 | And what if you had proved the Salvation of all wicked Christians Baptized Infants? |
A26911 | And what may not one thus say and swear? |
A26911 | And what reason have we to surmise that they were not sound Believers? |
A26911 | And what then? |
A26911 | And what then? |
A26911 | And what will not some Men affirm? |
A26911 | And what''s this then to the sense of the Article in question, that speaks of all Baptized Children? |
A26911 | And which shall stand, one or both, and how far? |
A26911 | And who can manage an ill cause without somewhat that is too like it? |
A26911 | And who can not pretend such scruple? |
A26911 | And who doth any thing which needeth no repentance or amendment? |
A26911 | And who hath equal Power with them? |
A26911 | And who is so wise as to speak wisely at all times? |
A26911 | And who knows how to define and bound your[ Reasons of Suspicion?] |
A26911 | And who will not pretend it, when that will justifie them? |
A26911 | And why do so few Conformists so use it? |
A26911 | And why may you not say so of any Untruth? |
A26911 | And why talk you of the Surplice, and omit the main Question, Whether we may consent to the Liturgy, Preface and Rubrick, which impose it as they do? |
A26911 | And why was this so much disclaimed before? |
A26911 | And would not so many good men amend it, were it possible? |
A26911 | And yet can you assert that they are distinct Orders, when the Power of Ordaining is made the chief part of the Bishops Order? |
A26911 | And yet do I err? |
A26911 | And yet he before said himself, that the unwilling can not be Pastor and Flock: And is not this the same? |
A26911 | And yet shall so sober a man tell us, That subscribing the Old Act, is subscribing the Old Book? |
A26911 | And yet the Magistrate may make me a Pastor to the Parish? |
A26911 | Are not Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy, three Forms, contrary to unity of Form; though Humanity, Piety, and Regiment, be the same in all? |
A26911 | Are not all Ministers to subscribe to Administer the Sacraments in no other Form than the Liturgy? |
A26911 | Are not true Christians saved? |
A26911 | Are not two thousand Ministers silenced, and more, that pleaded Mercy to themselves and others, for the reason of their Non- conformity? |
A26911 | Are these Contents part of the Book? |
A26911 | Are they not still members of the Parish- Church? |
A26911 | Are those then admitted, that through Prophaneness desire not God- Fathers? |
A26911 | Are we not then concluded against Conformity by the Bishop''s judgment, by your own Rule? |
A26911 | Break the Law and Canon, and say you did it in Mercy and kept it, and try whether you will pass for a Conformist? |
A26911 | But by such stretches what words may not Protestant or Papist take by an Exposition of his own making? |
A26911 | But could you think this should convince me, that know it to be false? |
A26911 | But do you take a Bishop here for the same as a Presbyter, or as a species of Presbyters, or as a superiour to Presbyters? |
A26911 | But how shall I know whether every Stranger that cometh in be a Christian, or was ever Baptized? |
A26911 | But in answer to, Where read we in Scripture of the Chancellor''s Office? |
A26911 | But is not the Appendix part of the Book? |
A26911 | But is this obeying him, and his Church and Successors? |
A26911 | But our question is not what the Ordinary will do, but what the Law and Canon bind him and you to do? |
A26911 | But the question is, Whether you Assent to it,( or more?) |
A26911 | But the question is, whether they may be Consented to, and approved? |
A26911 | But were not Parents formerly disabled from keeping Children and Servants from spending much of the Lord''s Day in Dancing? |
A26911 | But what Law of the Church is it that you thus perform? |
A26911 | But what if I knew that multitudes do not so, doth it make them of that Church because they should consent and do not? |
A26911 | But what if it be a Man that consenteth not but thinketh he doth, or yet doth not know? |
A26911 | But what is this to Conformity? |
A26911 | But what obligation is on me to baptize all the Children of those that take me for none of their Pastor? |
A26911 | But what will not Men talk for? |
A26911 | But when did you prove that every professing sign is used to the same use in specie, as the covenanting dedicating Symbol of the Cross is? |
A26911 | But wherein is it? |
A26911 | But who shall be judge at some Years after? |
A26911 | But whose reputation is it that you rest on? |
A26911 | But why did you avoid the Order of my Book''s Objections? |
A26911 | But why did you not give some answer to my express proof of the contrary? |
A26911 | But yet is it true? |
A26911 | But you might have known that we will not believe you: Why then should you thus put us off with your bare word? |
A26911 | Can not many with the Pastor better govern one Parish, than one Chancellor can many Scores, or Hundreds? |
A26911 | Can not we thus say any thing required, and mean what we list by it? |
A26911 | Can the Church more plainly speak the sense of her Liturgy? |
A26911 | Can we serve them in a Prison any better than Non- Conformists may? |
A26911 | Can you say all these words if no Sponsor be there? |
A26911 | Can you tell what every Subscriber to this day thought? |
A26911 | Could you have more evidently confuted your self? |
A26911 | Did any one Church on Earth receive a Pastor by the Magistrates imposition for the first 300 Years? |
A26911 | Did he institute Baptism and his Supper, as a meer Man, or a meer Minister? |
A26911 | Did not he say before, that the Man can not be their Pastor without his own and the Peoples consent? |
A26911 | Did not the Orthodox Churches commonly refuse Bishops, which Valens, and such Erroneous Emperors set over them? |
A26911 | Did the World ever here this Doctrine before? |
A26911 | Did they that declared it contrary to Law, declare that men may resist it by Arms? |
A26911 | Did you dream that all these take Laymens Baptizing for null? |
A26911 | Did you ever consider the Text? |
A26911 | Did you ever in your life know a sinner brought to a repentance seemingly unfeigned by them? |
A26911 | Did you ever read the Conference at Hampton Court? |
A26911 | Did you not thus keep the end of the Law when you Preacht at Warrington? |
A26911 | Did you think that a credible profession of true Christianity, is not a credible profession of Conversion? |
A26911 | Did you think that this was the meaning of the Liturgy, that all Infants are saved, when it saith All the Baptized? |
A26911 | Did you think you spake to the Case? |
A26911 | Did your Learned, Pious, Moderate Bishop, excuse you for that plea? |
A26911 | Do all such as are afore described, make such a credible profession of true Christianity? |
A26911 | Do or can Bishops by Visitations know the People and their Cases of a thousand, or many hundred Parishes, so as to hear and judge them? |
A26911 | Do they commonly resist unlawfully Commissioned Souldiers by Arms? |
A26911 | Do they declare their Assent to all things contained in the Book, and mean only the Service which they must say? |
A26911 | Do they swear Obedience to the Fore- man and his Successors?] |
A26911 | Do they that extirpate Presbytery, or Democracy, extirpate all? |
A26911 | Do you believe that a Lay- Chancellor, who you confess hath not the power of the Keys, doth or can well execute them? |
A26911 | Do you believe that this is the Species of subjection, which is meant in the Book and Oath? |
A26911 | Do you confute me by repeating my one words? |
A26911 | Do you consider what you say? |
A26911 | Do you know how many have been Fined and sent to Goal for Preaching, though they pleaded for it Mercy to Mens Souls? |
A26911 | Do you not know how unlike their Courts are to fit a sinner for absolution by true Repetance? |
A26911 | Do you not now dwell in London? |
A26911 | Do you think Worshiping in the high Places, was worse than this? |
A26911 | Do you think none of them would do it, if they thought it a duty, and the lawful and safe way of Discipline? |
A26911 | Do you think their Parishes have no scores or hundreds of Brutists, Atheists, Drunkards, Fornicators, or other scandalous sinners? |
A26911 | Doth he say, and unsay in the next Lines? |
A26911 | Doth it follow then, that because Men( yea, any Man) may make a professing Sign of his Mind, that Man( yea, every Man) may make a new Sacrament? |
A26911 | Doth not the Church Command that no Parent be God- Father to his own Child, and no Questions or Answers be used but the words of the Liturgy? |
A26911 | Doth not the Liturgy make the God- Fathers Office necessary? |
A26911 | Doth not this Instance prove Mr. Cheyney, to be a mistaking Expositor of the Church- Government, the Bishops themselves being Judges? |
A26911 | Doth that prove them Ministers too? |
A26911 | Doth the Canon that forbids Men to go from their own Parish Churches, extend to the Bishop? |
A26911 | Doth the Command of subscribing the thirty nine Articles contain no more, but to be Orthodox? |
A26911 | Doth the prescript of the Oath of Supremacy and Allegiance, impose no more than to be Loyal? |
A26911 | Few God- Fathers have propriety in them: How then will their devoting prove their Salvation? |
A26911 | For what should hinder them when it is their interest? |
A26911 | Had it been my duty to pronounce you excommunicate, because the Chancellor decreed it? |
A26911 | Have I in the Books, cited by you, so largely told you what I mean, and must you print the Question before you will take an Answer? |
A26911 | Have we so many Books of Ecclesiastical Policie, if there be no Political Society that is a particular Church? |
A26911 | Have you read Dr. Hearne, Mr. Digs, Mich. Hudson, Mr. Welden, Dr. Arnway,& c? |
A26911 | His first Question is,[ Do we take you to have the just qualifications of a Pastor?] |
A26911 | His second Question is,[ Do we take you to be duly ordained?] |
A26911 | How doth the Minister know that they come not, who knoweth very few of his Parishoners? |
A26911 | How is the Bishop one of the Parson''s Flock, and the Parson one of the Bishop''s Flock, both at once? |
A26911 | How oft have I told you, that I am laying nothing to the Charge of others, but excusing our selves? |
A26911 | How prove you that none of these are Dogs or Swine? |
A26911 | How prove you that? |
A26911 | How will the Parson practice his Conformity, who consenteth when he putteth any one from the Sacrament, to certifie the Ordinary within fourteen Days? |
A26911 | How will you prove that they judge all true Ministers whom they Tolerate? |
A26911 | I ask you, Where is the Priest authorized to do it? |
A26911 | I ask, Whether you would not have c ● ● led this a Sacrament? |
A26911 | I askt him, By whom that Child had right more than any other Heathen''s Child? |
A26911 | I think most of England are unconfirmed; if they desire it, what keepeth them from it? |
A26911 | I would but know whether Men may make New Sacraments of the Covenant of Grace, or not? |
A26911 | If Consent be not expressed, how shall it be known? |
A26911 | If Legislation, the chief part of Supreme Government, be common to him and Bishops, why is not that Royally Common? |
A26911 | If Rebels rise in Arms against their Rulers, but yet renounce Rebellion, how are they to be expounded? |
A26911 | If Rulers command men to marry their own Sisters, and yet say, That they abhor Incest, may one justifie this because they are against Incest? |
A26911 | If Socinians renounce all that is against God''s Word, and yet command you to renounce Christ''s Godhead, may you do it? |
A26911 | If before, then must they have trial of him, or take all for( Faithful) that are ordained by a Bishop? |
A26911 | If but some, what the better are we for your Discourse, if you tell us not how to know them? |
A26911 | If it be not, must I sin when the Magistrate bids me to save him from Persecuting me? |
A26911 | If not, how can you say you do? |
A26911 | If not, must I write it again as oft as you will bid me? |
A26911 | If not, what is it that makes a Member, and how are the Pastors special Flock truly known to him from others? |
A26911 | If so, Then they are false: If not, How shall we know what is or is not part of the Book? |
A26911 | If such be allowed in this Case, why not in all other like it? |
A26911 | If that be ill, how will it justifie Lay- Chancellors? |
A26911 | If the Church in three Books express her sense, must I not set all together, and take them in all? |
A26911 | If the People, we are wheeled about to that which is resisted: And then, When is it that they must judge, before they receive him, or after? |
A26911 | If the word Church may be taken for a Transient Assembly, doth it follow that there is no other? |
A26911 | If they are not, Whether dwelling in the Parish make a Christian a Member of the Parish Church? |
A26911 | If they be Members, to whom shall we present the Bishop for not coming to Church, or for his Crimes? |

A26911 | and how few have Catechizing? |
A26911 | and which must obey? |
A26911 | and will not all this convince us what it meaneth? |

A76059 | And is the dissatisfaction of thy vain mind or appetite such a Burthen? |
A76059 | And is there no need that Christ be any longer preached any where, when the Devil is preached every where? |

A76059 | Art thou one of them that obey the Gospel, or not? |
A76059 | Art thou so unwilling to leave thy sins, for the hope of the Promise of God, that thou art content to give up thy hopes, for the love of thy sins? |
A76059 | Beloved, Would you bring forth Fruit unto God, and will you not bear the Plough and the Harrow? |
A76059 | Break off from thy Companions in sin; wilt thou love them to the death? |
A76059 | Brethren, Do I wish you any harm in all this? |
A76059 | Brethren, will you yet again say your Lord nay? |
A76059 | But if there be any few relenting Hearts among you, who are brought but thus far, to cry out, Why what must I do? |
A76059 | But is it not strange, that there should be any such? |
A76059 | But to proceed more distinctly; How can the Saints evil things work to their good? |
A76059 | But whether it be your last, or no, I must be henceforth silent to you? |
A76059 | Can any good arise, out of an incapacity of any longer doing, or receiving good, or patiently suffering Evil? |
A76059 | Can darkness give light, or death it self bring forth life? |
A76059 | Can either his Grace here, or his Glory hereafter, be increased or advanced, by a man''s being converted into a mere Bruit? |
A76059 | Can he then be accounted a Christian, whose heart doth not tremble at the Thoughts and the Fears of such a sore Judgment? |

A76059 | Canst thou want a God, a Christ, an Heaven, and thine Heart never stir at it? |
A76059 | Captive to the Devil? |
A76059 | Christians, you have no reason to say, If the Lord be with me, why am I thus? |
A76059 | Come on Soul, what should hinder thee? |
A76059 | Courteously and compassionately, that I might the better win upon them? |
A76059 | Darest thou say, Let me have my part in the pleasures and contentments of this life, and I am cnntent to relinquish my part in Christ? |

A76059 | Dost[ thou] love God, art thou under the hope of the Promise? |
A76059 | Doth Religion make things cease to be what they are, and to be what they are not? |

A76059 | If he should cry out, as the Woman to the King of Israel; Help O King; the King must answer, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? |
A76059 | If in such a case the Preachers of Christ should altogether hold their peace ▪ might we not expect that the very stones would cry out? |
A76059 | If it be God that justifies, who shall condemn? |
A76059 | If it be God that will save, who shall destroy? |
A76059 | If it will still kick, and fling, and groan out to thee, doest thou still retain thy integrity? |
A76059 | If others may reap good by my evil, is it nothing to me? |
A76059 | If the Joy of the Birth will make you forget, why should not the hope of the Birth make you to bear the pain? |
A76059 | If the Lord should take your this days deniall, for your final Answer, and never ask your consent again for ever? |
A76059 | If the l ● st that I must preach, be the last that you must must hear? |
A76059 | If this be so Christians, who would fear sufferings? |
A76059 | If you ask, why, what is there in it? |
A76059 | If you should ask of any Providence, wherefore art thou come? |
A76059 | If you would not, you are no Christian; Si dixeris sufficit, defecisti: If you would, is that Desire conditional? |
A76059 | If your fears affright you, and prophecy to you before hand, oh I shall never be patient; if the foresight be so dreadful, what will the encounter be? |
A76059 | In what wilt thou rejoyce, if not in this, that the whole Creation are ingaged to do thee a kindness, to help thee into the possession of thy God? |
A76059 | Inoffensively: Have I not been a stumbling- block to them? |
A76059 | Is Christ and my Soul united? |
A76059 | Is ease torment, and torment ease? |
A76059 | Is he God, and nor man? |
A76059 | Is he in prosperity upon a true account, whose Soul prospers not? |
A76059 | Is he spirit and not flesh? |
A76059 | Is it not yet more strange, that any that pretend to be set up for Lights, should be for Da ● kness? |
A76059 | Is loss gain, and gain loss? |
A76059 | Is not that Affliction 〈 ◊ 〉 Mercy, which secures from such Iniquity? |
A76059 | Is pleasure pain, and pain pleasure? |
A76059 | Is the Devil in thine heart, and it never moves thee? |
A76059 | Is the Love, and Life, and Zeal of God, grown up to that maturity, that you need not mutual help this way? |
A76059 | Is the end of Preaching accomplish''d? |
A76059 | Is the work done for which all these are? |
A76059 | Is the work of Regeneration brought to the Birth, and shall it at last miscarry, and prove an abortion? |
A76059 | Is there no hope of recovering the opportunity? |
A76059 | Is there not one Captive to Lust and Vanity, that''s willing to be set free from his Bondage? |
A76059 | Is there not one Drunkard more, that will yet be perswaded to be sober? |
A76059 | Is there nothing in those rich Promises, that have been laid before thee, which thou canst wish''t were thine? |
A76059 | Is there so little in the peace of God, that thou canst sell it for the pleasures of sin? |
A76059 | Is this all that I shall have, to return to the Lord, that sent me unto you? |
A76059 | Is this the state thou art so loath to change? |
A76059 | Is this the state thou so boastest of, and blessest thy self in? |
A76059 | Is your Calling and Election sure? |
A76059 | Let God let me alone in my sins, and let him damn my Soul? |
A76059 | Let me ask you, and answer deliberately: Would you be more holy than you are, more fruitful than you are, or would you not? |
A76059 | May it not be said to be good for any particular Saint, to bear the sorest Affliction, by which the Church may have benefit? |
A76059 | May not sickness teach men more temperance, and poverty more frugality? |
A76059 | May not the darkness of the night, make more diligent in the day? |
A76059 | May not the storm, though it help not, yet hasten the Labourer on his work, the Traveller on his way? |
A76059 | Must we call evil, good; and good, evil? |
A76059 | Must we count darkness light, and light darkness? |
A76059 | Must we disbelieve our Senses, lay down our Reasons, ere we can believe the Scriptures? |
A76059 | Must we say, that contraries no longer destroy, but produce each other, and that the womb brings forth its own destruction? |
A76059 | No need of Preaching? |
A76059 | Not one Soul more? |
A76059 | Not one vain person that will be perswaded to be serious? |
A76059 | Of what is that Conscience tender, that is not tender of making Wounds and Rents, in the Body of Christ? |
A76059 | Oh Friends, what do ye mean? |
A76059 | Oh an Heaven, a Paradice, oh my dear pleasures, oh my sweet Daughter, oh my merry days, what Mortal can part with you? |
A76059 | Oh how do we disparage the power of God, when our difficulties make us doubt? |
A76059 | Oh me thinks, Christians, we should rather step one before another; and when our Lord demands, Who will go with me? |
A76059 | Oh that thou hadst? |
A76059 | Oh what an Eternity art thou like to have of it? |
A76059 | Oh when you see the Fruit, where then will your Sorrow be? |
A76059 | Open thine Eyes sinner, if ever thou wilt escape; open thine Eyes, and see where thou art? |
A76059 | Our Impatience bears false witness against God, and his Gospel; what''s the voice or the meaning of Impatience, less than this? |
A76059 | Patient and proud? |
A76059 | Peaceably, not provoking them to Envy? |
A76059 | Profitably, provoking them to love and good works? |
A76059 | Secondly, Hath the Devil yet given over Preaching, and are the Preachers yet silent? |
A76059 | Shall Tribulation, or Distress, or Persecution, or Famine, or Na ● edness, or Perill, or Sword? |
A76059 | Shall evil Weeds grow so fast, and shall onely the good Corn be at a stand? |
A76059 | Shall neither my first, nor last words prevail with you? |
A76059 | Shall there be Evil in a City ▪ and the Lord hath not done it? |
A76059 | Sinners hearken; Is there not one blind person among you, that is yet willing to have his Eyes open''d? |
A76059 | Sinners, I have but little more to speak to you; but shall that little be nothing? |
A76059 | Sinners, let my fears be your fears: What, is there such astonishing guilt upon you, and yet not afraid? |
A76059 | So many Sabb ● ths, Sermons, Warnings lost, and never to be recalled; nor any Assurance left of one Sermon, or Warning more, and yet not afraid? |
A76059 | Such a dreadful Roll writ against you, and yet not afraid? |
A76059 | Suppose a Saint to fall into distraction, and so live and die, what good can possibly be wrought out of this? |
A76059 | Sure there is not overmuch of Gospel Spirit, where this will not be granted? |
A76059 | That the Prophets should be against Prophecying; That the Pulpits should ring against Preaching? |
A76059 | That they do so, can not be denyed, unless we will deny, not only Scripture, but common Sense, and Experience; but how comes it to pass? |
A76059 | The Fields of Tares are already black to the Harvest: But oh when shall it be said of you: Behold the Fields are white to the Harvest? |
A76059 | The Salvation of God sent away, Acts 28. and can there be any thing worse befall a People? |
A76059 | There''s no doubt at all, but this may make for the Churches good: Is there nothing that others may learn out of such a sad Providence? |
A76059 | This is my great fear, that though God g ● ves, yet I shall break my peace; The God of peace with me? |
A76059 | Though darkness can not bring forth light; evil can not bring forth good, by a natural causation; yet, Can not God make evil an occasion of good? |
A76059 | Though it do not work efficiently, yet can it not work objectively neither to it? |
A76059 | Though the torment the Medicine puts men to, be not ease yet, May it not work towards ease? |
A76059 | Though thou be now putting on thy Armour, believe, and thou may''st boast as if thou hadst put it off: Death where is thy sting? |
A76059 | Till the end be attained, there''s still need, that the means he continued: And what was the end of Preaching? |
A76059 | To what did they bear Witness, but to God and his Gospel? |
A76059 | Understandest thou what thou readest? |
A76059 | View often, and take an account of thy self, of the in- come and success of all thy Duties: What is all my praying, reading, hearing,& c. come to? |
A76059 | Waht Sins have I committed? |
A76059 | Was I serious, and had I any sensible Communion with God, this day, in my Secret, and Family Duties? |
A76059 | Was it men''s Instruction onely, to bring them to the knowledg of Christ, to turn them from Darkness to Light? |
A76059 | Was it not for their Conversion also, to turn them from the power of Sathan unto God? |
A76059 | Was the Red Sea a Terrour to Israel, when they saw themselves gotten to the other side? |
A76059 | Was there not more of Custome and Fashion, than of Conscience and Affection, either in my Secret, or Family Duties? |
A76059 | We should certainly obtain, did we more resolvedly pursue it: and what should hinder? |
A76059 | What Patience, when I doubt, whether my afflictions be not the pension of a bastard, rather than the portion of a son? |
A76059 | What Patience, when I question whether my sins be forgiven? |
A76059 | What Peace so long as God is angry? |
A76059 | What Temptations have I overcome this day? |
A76059 | What Witness did they bear? |
A76059 | What a clattering is there in the World? |
A76059 | What can any rational man desire more? |
A76059 | What canst thou not bear this honour thy God hath laid upon thee? |
A76059 | What case was the Bush in? |
A76059 | What have I done for God or my Soul this day? |
A76059 | What have I done for God or my Soul this day? |
A76059 | What have I not? |
A76059 | What if they do? |
A76059 | What if[ my] last, should be[ your] last? |
A76059 | What is Patience, but this, that we can bear that pain, that Lust, when pinch''d, will put us to? |
A76059 | What is brought forth? |
A76059 | What is there at the bottom? |
A76059 | What is there that''s excellent, what is there that''s desirable, that is not comprehended in this Peace with God? |
A76059 | What is thy state? |
A76059 | What likelyhood is there, that I should ever live to see a good day? |
A76059 | What profit is there in our Blood? |
A76059 | What shall I say more? |
A76059 | What unreasonable fears are these, to those that believe the Scriptures? |
A76059 | What victory have I yet gotten over it? |
A76059 | What was it by which they bare Witness, but by their patient suffering? |
A76059 | What would you not bear, so you might be sure you are the Lords? |
A76059 | What would''st thou have more than all? |
A76059 | What, and yet a sinner? |
A76059 | Whatever God hath said he can do: Believe he is a God ▪ and thou wilt never say, How can these things be? |
A76059 | When, or where are evill men silent? |
A76059 | Whence is impatience, but from this, for the most part, that we can not bear any violence that''s offered to lust? |
A76059 | Whence was Elie''s patience? |
A76059 | Whence was Job''s patience? |
A76059 | Where ever the cross comes, if it had not come, something worse might? |
A76059 | Where is the Fury of the Oppressour? |
A76059 | Wherefore then dost thou doubt? |
A76059 | Wherfore didst thou doubt, oh thou of little Faith? |
A76059 | Who can say it is not thus? |
A76059 | Who was it that dwelt in the Bush? |
A76059 | Who will bear my Cross? |
A76059 | Why art th ● u cast down oh my Soul, and why art thou disquieted within me? |
A76059 | Why may not a word at parting, do more than all that hath been spoken? |
A76059 | Why, open the Eye of your Faith, and see the Coast already clear? |
A76059 | Why, would you be delivered? |
A76059 | Why? |
A76059 | Will the Remembrance of what you[ have] suffer''d be a Terrour to you, when you have gotten through, and are come out of Tribulation? |
A76059 | Will you break my Heart, by persisting to harden yours? |
A76059 | Will you expect an Harvest, and yet must God let you lye Fallow, and still sow among Thorns? |
A76059 | Will you lay the same imputation upon the God of Glory? |
A76059 | Will you loose all the ground you have gotten, all the things you have wrought? |
A76059 | With what Face canst thou deny, but thou art an Enemy of God, and of all Righteousness? |
A76059 | Would there then be such violent and eager pursuing these carnal things? |
A76059 | Would there then be such whining, and complaining, and murmuring at every cross providence? |
A76059 | Yea, and their Edification and Building up in Holiness to Salvation? |
A76059 | You''l say, it may be, for what profit? |
A76059 | [ s.n., London printed: 1662?] |
A76059 | after you have tasted the bitterness of the Cross, will you not go one step farther, and take the joys of the Cross? |
A76059 | all thy bafflings of it here will be repeated over in eternity: How will all this look when it shall meet thee before thy Judge? |
A76059 | and are not the Joints of thy Loins losed, to consider, what thou hast done, and art still a doing? |
A76059 | and how strangely would the course of this world be then changed? |
A76059 | and if I have been reproved, how have I born it? |
A76059 | and shall an ill Neighbour be a vexation to thee? |
A76059 | are you gotten off from the Tents of the Edomites, and gotten even to the Borders of Canaan, and will you not enter? |
A76059 | at ease? |
A76059 | can you pray thus, and yet repine and murmur that the Lord hears your Prayers? |
A76059 | comest thou for good? |
A76059 | comest thou peaceably? |
A76059 | do not thy knees shake? |
A76059 | does not thy hair stand on end? |
A76059 | does not thy heart tremble? |

A76059 | may once a moneth, or once a quarter, be enough for these, when every day, and all the day- long, doe ● scarce suffice for those? |
A76059 | must I leave you thus? |
A76059 | not one word more, not one hour more, may not the Sun go[ one] degree backward? |
A76059 | or at least, Must we believe, that darkness is the Mother of light, that good is the daughter of evil? |
A76059 | out of fear? |
A76059 | out of such a concatena ● ● on of so many dreadful and dismal Providences? |

A76059 | shall Christ have his wish? |
A76059 | shall all your sufferings for the name of Christ be lost, and in vain? |
A76059 | shall your Servant for Jesus sake shall I have my wish? |
A76059 | that the Lord foresaw he would have fallen into sin, and for prevention, brought him into this Affliction: Who can say, it is not thus? |

A76059 | though evil can not bring forth good, darkness can not bring forth light; yet, Can not God bring forth good out of evill, light out of darkness? |
A76059 | under the Curse? |
A76059 | what Duties have I omitted? |
A76059 | what peace, so long as such unbelief; so much iniquity, as I find daily within me, remains upon me? |
A76059 | what tumults, and commotions, are raised about the followers of Christ; as if the World were falling about their ears? |

A76059 | will you now at last consent to be sanctified, and to be saved? |
A76059 | without Christ? |
A76059 | without the Promise? |
A76059 | would it comfort you, to know that God is your Father? |
A76059 | would one step more land your Souls in the Kingdom of God, are you gotten so near a shore, and will you perish in the Harbour? |

A47928 | And what am I the better for That Enquiry, if when I have Learn''d my Duty, I am debarr''d the Liberty to Practise it? |
A47928 | And what amends is it, when the Government is laid again in Dust, and Desolation, to cry, You were Overseen? |
A47928 | And what will the People say in the Matter, but either that the Government thinks them in the Right, or else that''t is affraid of them? |

A47928 | And who shall Determine what Laws and Constitutions are agreeable to God''s Word? |
A47928 | And will it not be every Man''s business, to Advance the Credit, and Authority of his own Party? |
A47928 | Another Exception may be This: How shall we distinguish betwixt Faction, and Conscience? |
A47928 | Apprehensions of his Life, from Iesuits, Both Protestant, and Papist? |

A47928 | C. How can you say This, and consider what you say, without blushing? |
A47928 | C. How comes it now, that we, that accord so well in the End, should differ so much in the Way to''t? |
A47928 | C. How do you mean? |
A47928 | C. Is it Reason, think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and Hunt for Meat, when he is Hungry? |
A47928 | C. Is it not rather your Misfortune, to write after the foulest Copies? |
A47928 | C. Is it the Model, or the Uniformity you stick at? |
A47928 | C. Keep to That, and Answer me once again; Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too? |
A47928 | C. Of Which Side were the Tender Consciences? |
A47928 | C. Or rather, Is not he madder that doubts it? |
A47928 | C. Pray''e say: Was it ever better, since Non- Conformists came into the World? |
A47928 | C. THe Non- Conformists are the Party that desire a Toleration; Pray let me ask ye, What are their Opinions? |
A47928 | C. WHat are your Exceptions to Our Way of Worship? |
A47928 | C. WHat has your Party Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule should be Granted in your Favour? |
A47928 | C. WHat is it that you call Hard Measure, and Persecution? |
A47928 | C. Was not Queen Elizabeth told of Thousands, and Hundreds of Thousands, that sighed for the Holy Discipline? |
A47928 | C. What Do you think of the Anabaptists, Brownists, Quakers,& c? |
A47928 | C. What Hinders then, but we may try it that way too? |
A47928 | C. What do ye think then of your National Covenant? |
A47928 | C. What do you mean by Fundamentals? |
A47928 | C. What is all This now, but an Universal Toleration, in a Disguise? |
A47928 | C. What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdoms, so much as the Contrary? |
A47928 | C. Why may not the Church impose a Stinted Form upon the Minister, as well as the Minister,( if he so pleases) upon the People? |
A47928 | C. Why should not We Two shake Hands now, and Join in the Act for Uniformity? |
A47928 | C. Why will you Practise that Cruelty your selves then, which you condemn in others? |
A47928 | C. Will Toleration suite All Iudgments, any better then Uniformity? |
A47928 | C. Will it not then follow, that a Man may worship the Sun, or the Moon, and yet be true to God, if That Worship be according to his Conscience? |
A47928 | C. Will ye see then what they did afterward, when they were at Liberty to do what they listed? |
A47928 | C. Without Dispute, Some Opinions and Principles are more allowable then Others: But where lieth the Right of Allowing, or Rejrcting? |
A47928 | C. Would you have a Law that shall Comply with all Consciences? |
A47928 | C: So was the Son before the Father, you may say, for How could there be a Father without a Son? |
A47928 | Can not the Church put an End to Strife among Brethren, as well as the Civil Magistrate? |
A47928 | Can you say that the English, or Scottish Preshyters did ever go about to Dissolve Monarchy? |
A47928 | Can you shew me that any Non- Conforming Roman Catholicks are Tolerated There? |
A47928 | DOEST THOU Believe? |
A47928 | David was pronounced a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murder and Adultery? |
A47928 | Deposed, upon the Encouragement, and with the Approbation of Willock, Knox, and their Fellows? |
A47928 | Did not the Kirk Excommunicate the whole Multitude for a Robin- Hood? |
A47928 | Did they not by their Proper Authority Discharge the Munday- Market in Edinburgh? |
A47928 | Do They know What They would be At? |
A47928 | Do you not find our Meetings Thronged, and many of your Churches Empty? |
A47928 | Do you pretend to know their Hearts then? |
A47928 | Do you put no Difference betwixt Truth and Errour? |
A47928 | Does it follow, because Religion may be made a Cloak for a Rebellion, That, therefore, It is never to be Pleaded for a Reformation? |
A47928 | Does not our Saviour foretell us of False Christs, and False Prophets, that shall arise and deceive many; yea, if it were possible, the very Elect? |
A47928 | Does not this hold as well for Us, as it did for You? |
A47928 | Fifthly, What are they for Number, and Resolution? |
A47928 | Finally, What have they to say for all This, But that This is One Man''s Judgment, That Another''s? |
A47928 | First, What kind of People they are; Secondly, What It is They would have; Thirdly, What will the Kingdom be the better for Granting their Desires? |
A47928 | For With what face can I destre a Courtesse from Him, to whom I do onenly prosess, 〈 ◊ 〉 would deny the same Courtesse? |
A47928 | For the King; Or Against Him? |
A47928 | For what are they the worse, for a Penalty, that is never Executed? |
A47928 | For what is the Difference betwixt WEDDED, and MARRIED, but that the One wears the Stamp of the Law- Makers, and the Other, of the Law- Menders? |
A47928 | Fourthly, What are their Grievances, as the Case stands with them at present? |
A47928 | From That Prince, to whose Blessed Father( in the Depth of his Agonies) you cruelly deny''d the Use, and Service of his own Chaplains? |
A47928 | From this miserable Perplexity of Mind, what can be expected, but Despair, and Confusion? |
A47928 | Further; If it was to the Prejudice of our Cloathing Trade,( This Separation) Who can help it? |
A47928 | Has not your General Assembly, rather the Face of a Council of State, then of a Counsel of the Church? |
A47928 | Here''s Your Character: Now to Your D ● … mands, What is it You would have? |
A47928 | How can it chuse but bring the Simple a Thousand Times to their Wit ● … End? |
A47928 | How can you say This? |
A47928 | How could That be; when the Two Houses, by Purging, and Modelling, were Subjected Absolutely to the Devotion of the Army? |
A47928 | How far, I beseech you, are Humane Laws Binding? |
A47928 | How many Plots have they had upon this Kingdom, since his Majesties Return? |
A47928 | How many have they driven to leave the Ministry, and live by Physique? |
A47928 | How shall Authority Distinguish of Which Number You your selves are; so long as You remain under this Concealment? |
A47928 | How shall I behave my self, I pray''e, if the King command one thing, and God another? |
A47928 | How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry? |
A47928 | How shall we agree upon the Dos? |
A47928 | How was it with Trade, when Conscience took the full Swinge? |
A47928 | How was the Covenant entertein''d? |
A47928 | How was the Protestant Interest( I beseech you) United in the late Dissolution of Government; When Every Man did that which was Right in his own Eyes? |
A47928 | How went Trading on, when all Business was neglected, but Gallopping up and down to Lectures, to hear News, and Sedition? |
A47928 | How will you divide your Duty? |
A47928 | How will you reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case? |
A47928 | However, what''s your Quarrel to it? |
A47928 | If He be, How comes your Conscience to take place of his Authority? |
A47928 | If He chance to be Slain,''T is but an Accident; and who can help it? |
A47928 | If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the fairest Probability content you? |
A47928 | If They were Tolerated Themselves, Would They Tolerate One Another? |
A47928 | If he will needs thrust Himself upon the Hazard, when he needs not, Whose Fault is That? |
A47928 | If so, tell me I beseech you, Why may not We take the same Freedom with the Non- Conformists, that You do with the Papists? |
A47928 | In fine, Betwixt such Principles as affect Order and Publique Agreement, and others that flow Naturally into Loosness and Confusion? |
A47928 | In the first Place; What is the Judgment of the Reformed Churches abroad, touching the English Episcopacy? |
A47928 | Is it not now evident, that they are the worse for good usage? |
A47928 | Is it not well then, to be sure of the One, and in so fair a Likelihood of the Other? |
A47928 | Is it th ● … Imposition it self, or the Thing Imposed, that displeases you? |
A47928 | Is not This at one Blow to destroy the Order of all Relations, Political, Natural, and Moral? |
A47928 | Is not This, Streining at a Gnat, and swallowing a Camel? |
A47928 | Is not this a Dethroning of Majesty, to set Princes, and Peasants upon the same Level in point of Subjection to their Resolutions and Decrees? |
A47928 | Knewstubb indeed boggled a little, and desired to know, How far an Ordinance of the Church was Binding, without Offence to CHRISTIAN LIBERTY? |
A47928 | Let me but understand now, Upon what Subject shall that Power be Exercis''d; If you exclude Things Indifferent? |
A47928 | N C. Where should we look for the Foundation of our Faith, but in the New- Testament of Jesus Christ? |
A47928 | N. C, And what are you the better, If I should grant it; unless we could All come to an Agreement, about what is Indifferent, and what not? |
A47928 | N. C. According to what Latitude are we to understand that which you call the Foundation of FAITH? |
A47928 | N. C. And I beseech you, What is That, which you call AUTHORITY? |
A47928 | N. C. And do not you your self believe it better to Obey God, then Man? |
A47928 | N. C. And does not This way of Arguing as much endanger Authority, as the Other? |
A47928 | N. C. And have they, I beseech you, their Set Forms? |
A47928 | N. C. And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism? |
A47928 | N. C. And what do you think of the Secluded Members? |
A47928 | N. C. And why not Scandal, and Profaneness too? |
A47928 | N. C. Are Heresies to be Extirpated, and Truth to be Propagated by the Sword, or by the Word? |
A47928 | N. C. Are you for Punishing Inconformity with Death then? |
A47928 | N. C. But I should rather think the Popular Form was First: For how could there be a King, without a People? |
A47928 | N. C. But are not Some Opinions more tolerable then Others? |
A47928 | N. C. But do you believe any Man so mad, as to take these Extravagances for Impulses of Conscience? |
A47928 | N. C. But do you say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince? |
A47928 | N. C. But does not One Man see that sometimes, which a Thousand may miss? |
A47928 | N. C. But is it not More, To Tolerate a Forreign R ● … ligion, then to Indulge your own? |
A47928 | N. C. But may not a Prince tye himself up, in a thing otherwise Indifferent? |
A47928 | N. C. But what Colour will there be for any further Exception? |
A47928 | N. C. But what is That Power all this while, which you call NATURE? |
A47928 | N. C. But what''s the World to Me, in the Scale against my Soul? |
A47928 | N. C. But when the Death is certain, and the Virtue doubtful, Who shall decide the Point? |
A47928 | N. C. But where''s the Danger of Receding from that Inexorable Strictness? |
A47928 | N. C. But who shall be Iudge of what''s Indifferent? |
A47928 | N. C. But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be ascribed only to Instinct, in Brutes, and to Reason, in Man? |
A47928 | N. C. But would you have that Probability govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions? |
A47928 | N. C. Can there be any Sin without Assent; or any Assent without Knowledge; or any Knowledge in a Case of Invincible Ignorance? |
A47928 | N. C. Did not the Presbyterians Uote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a ● … reaty? |
A47928 | N. C. Does not that Opinion destroy Christian Liberty? |
A47928 | N. C. Have you so soon forgot your self? |
A47928 | N. C. How do you know, but you may persecute God, in the Conscience of a True Believer, as St. Paul did, before his Conversion? |
A47928 | N. C. How far are his Laws Binding upon his Subjects? |
A47928 | N. C. If the Magistrate has any Power over the Consciences of his People, How came he by it? |
A47928 | N. C. Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge? |
A47928 | N. C. May not We charge Personal Extravagancies upon your Party, as well as You do upon Ours? |
A47928 | N. C. May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not to Another? |
A47928 | N. C. No Man can call Iesus the Christ, but by the Holy Ghost: Will you punish any Man for not having the Holy Ghost? |
A47928 | N. C. Pray''e let me ask You One Question now: Who brought in this King? |
A47928 | N. C. Tell me, I beseech you; Do not you believe that there are more N ● … n- Conformists now, then there were at the beginning of the Late War? |
A47928 | N. C. The Non- Conformists are the King''s Subjects; and What''s a King without his People? |
A47928 | N. C. WHy may not a Toleration do as well here, as in France? |
A47928 | N. C. What End could they have in That? |
A47928 | N. C. What are those Indisputable Rights, I beseech ye? |
A47928 | N. C. What can be of greater Concernment to Governours; then to Discern, and Consider the State of their People, as it is indeed? |
A47928 | N. C. What do ye think of Poland then? |
A47928 | N. C. What greater Encouragement is there in the World, to Tyranny, then the Opinion of an Unaccomptable Sovereignty? |
A47928 | N. C. What if a Single Person hit that Truth, which a General Council misses? |
A47928 | N. C. What if it be? |
A47928 | N. C. What is David''s Case to ours? |
A47928 | N. C. What is all This to the Non- Conformists? |
A47928 | N. C. What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate? |
A47928 | N. C. What not in Case of Errour? |
A47928 | N. C. Whence was the Original of Power? |
A47928 | N. C. Who sold Him? |
A47928 | Nay; Or that those of the Religion do Subdivide, or break Communion among Themselves? |
A47928 | Needless? |
A47928 | Next; as to the Degree, and Measure of your Importance; How Many Regiments of the One, and How many Millions of the Other, makes up that Importance? |
A47928 | Or Why should a Standing Army do worse Here, then in Holland? |
A47928 | Or if so, Why may not the Church be in the Right against the People, as well as any Particular of the People, against the Church, and the Rest? |
A47928 | Or indeed, Why should not All be Tolerated, as well as Any? |
A47928 | Or is it in the Wit of Man, to Contrive a Common Expedient to Oblige them? |
A47928 | Or rather, Was there any thing of Conscience in the Case? |
A47928 | Or that we owe them Less, AFTER Misgovernment, then we did Before? |
A47928 | Or to leave their Countrey? |
A47928 | Or will Liberty any better suit with the Presbyterians? |
A47928 | Or will you call it Choice, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone? |
A47928 | Or will you have it, that our Duty to God ceases in the Act of becoming Subjects to a Civil Power? |
A47928 | Or, That Liberty Consciencious, which the Governour esteems Unlawful? |
A47928 | Presb, Was it not rather the Work of the Independents? |
A47928 | Prohibit the Scots Trading with any of the King of Spains Dominions, under Pein of Excommunication? |
A47928 | Reflect soberly upon what has been said; and Tell me, Do you think such a Toleration either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant? |
A47928 | Ruine of Liberty, or Estate? |
A47928 | Secondly; Whether was there first in the World, One Man, or More? |
A47928 | Shall his Majesty give up his Government, for fear of some Millions( perchance) in his Dominions, that had rather be Kings, then Subjects? |
A47928 | Shall the King therefore dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals? |
A47928 | Shall the People be left to do what they list, because a World of them have a Mind to do what they should not? |
A47928 | Shall the Vice, or Errour of the Person, degrade the Order? |
A47928 | Shall they not have their Meetings, and Consultations, without Controul? |
A47928 | Shall we Wrangle Eternally? |
A47928 | Shall we be the Quieter for it? |
A47928 | Shall we not have Nem, and Monstrous Opinions Propagated daily? |
A47928 | Shall we stand to his Award whatever it be? |
A47928 | Some Particulars will possibly suffer for want of a Toleration: and who are They; but the Profest Opposers of the Law? |
A47928 | That is to say,( without more Circumstance) Which do you take for the more Tolerable Mischief of the Two? |
A47928 | That is to say; Whether the Government shall Stand, or Fall? |
A47928 | The Independents made sweet work in Holland, did they not? |
A47928 | The Non- Conformists refuse Communion with the Church: What is it They boggle at? |
A47928 | The Question in England is, Whether Christ, or Anti- Christ, shall be Lord, or King? |
A47928 | The Question is; Whether He shall Over- rule your Opinions, or You Over- rule His Authority? |
A47928 | The Unity of the Church, in this Multiplicity of Professions? |
A47928 | The WHOLE PARTY in England, do you say? |
A47928 | The whole Generation of the Non- Conformists United against his Person, and Government, as well in Iudgment, as in Faction? |
A47928 | Their Declarations, and Subscriptions? |
A47928 | Their Peremptory Impositions? |
A47928 | They that are within the Comprehension, will be well enough: But what will become of them that are left out? |
A47928 | This was the Year before the King''s Death, it seems: Whas not That within the Retrospect of the Act of Indemnity? |
A47928 | To Know, Believe, or Profess are not in our Power: And shall a Man be punish''t for want of Grace, or Understanding? |
A47928 | To permit Freedom of Worship to those you repute Hereticks, then to Relate a little towards your Orthodox Friends? |
A47928 | Very good: And if the Kirk shall think fit to find them so or so; Pray''e What Remedy? |
A47928 | Was That an Act of Authority? |
A47928 | Was he not Spied, and Guarded, for fear of an Escape? |
A47928 | Was it any better even under the Celebrated Government of Queen Elizabeth? |
A47928 | Was it not made Death without Mercy, for any Man, having taken the Solemn League and Covenant, to adhere to his Majesty? |
A47928 | Was it not the Test of the King''s Enemies, as well as of the Bishops? |
A47928 | Was not King Iames, a Favourer of the Enemies of God''s Truth, and of Dissolute Persons? |
A47928 | We have Laws Ecclesi ● … l, for the Ordering of the Church; and you refuse to Obey them ▪ For what Reason, I beseech you? |
A47928 | Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands? |
A47928 | Well; and what hurt''s in all this? |
A47928 | Were not These, Presbyterians? |
A47928 | Were not his Majesties Friends kept from him, by a strict Order, at Newcastle? |
A47928 | Were not the Army, and Ass ● … mbly, Presbyterian; And all their Votes, Actions, and Conclusions Influenc''d accordingly? |
A47928 | Were not the Principals of the Faction in the Long Parliament, every Man of them Presbyterian? |
A47928 | Were not they the most likely of all others to disappoint our Settlement? |
A47928 | Were the Anabaptists, Familists, and Brownists, that started up in Those Days, Presbyterians? |
A47928 | What Course shall I take, to avoid Enterfering? |
A47928 | What Exceptions have you to our COMMON PRAYER? |
A47928 | What Swarms of Anabaptists, Brownists, Familists, Antinomians, Anti- Scripturists, Anti- Trinitarians, Enthusiasts( and what Not?) |
A47928 | What are the Furies of the Anabaptists to us, that have Declared against them, as well as You? |
A47928 | What are their Names? |
A47928 | What can be more Ridiculous than to Authorize a Cobler to Correct Majesty, Mechanicks to Determine in Points of Faith? |
A47928 | What can be the End of this Rhodomontade; but to startle the Government, on the One Side, and to animate the Multitude, on the Other? |
A47928 | What do you find in the Independent Way, that may endanger his Majesty, either in his Person, or in his Prerogative? |
A47928 | What does all this Evasion, and Obscurity signifie; but that there is somewhat in the bottom, more then you are willing to own? |
A47928 | What follows upon it? |
A47928 | What have you next to say against our Ceremonies? |
A47928 | What have you to say now for a Toleration upon Reason of State? |
A47928 | What if it yields? |
A47928 | What if the Subject shall account That Imposition grievous, which the Magistrate thinks N ● … cessary? |
A47928 | What is Conscience? |
A47928 | What is This, but a meer Trifling of Government; to suppose a Law, without an Obligation? |
A47928 | What is This, but to make Sport with Authority, and Conscience? |
A47928 | What possibility is there of attaining such an Agreement, among so many Insuperable Diversities of Judgment, as reign in Mankind? |
A47928 | What says the Artificer, the Tradesman, the Farmer? |
A47928 | What sort of Ruine do you mean? |
A47928 | What was it again that originally disposed this Monster to that cursed Act? |
A47928 | What''s the Quarrel to them upon the matter now before us? |
A47928 | What''s to be done in This Case? |
A47928 | When Prentices robb''d their Masters, and took Sanctuary in the Service? |
A47928 | When Publique Faith was a Tradesmans best Security; and the whole Nation held Life, and Estate, at the good Pleasure of a Close Committee? |
A47928 | Where do ye find that Kings Reign, upon Condition of Ruling Righteously? |
A47928 | Where is it, that you find This Exorbitant Power that you talk of? |
A47928 | Where is the Bond of Peace, in this Exercise, and Latitude of Dissention? |
A47928 | Where lies the Difference; I beseech you, between Their Impulse, and Our Choice? |
A47928 | Where you shall not Speak, Look, Move, Eat, Drink, Dress your self; Nay, not so much as entertein a Thought, but at your Peril? |
A47928 | Wherefore do ye lift your selves above the Congregation of the Lord? |
A47928 | Wherefore then lift ye your selves above the Congregation of the Lord? |
A47928 | Whether may be better Tolerated in This Kingdom, The Presbyterians, or the Independents; in Respect of their PRINCIPLES, and Ordinary PROCEEDINGS? |
A47928 | Whether will you rather have; One Fallible Iudge, or a Million of Damnable Heresies? |
A47928 | Which is the True Religion, among so many divided, and contradictory Pretenses to it? |
A47928 | Which of the Two, do you account the more Tolerable; SCANDAL, or Schism? |
A47928 | Which will you have him follow; Truth, or Authority? |
A47928 | Who shall distinguish? |
A47928 | Who shall over- rule? |
A47928 | Who shall pretend to Iudge of my Conscience, beside God, and my Self? |
A47928 | Why should We be put upon Extremities of Hard Labour, Course Fare, Rising early, and Going to Bed late? |
A47928 | Why should We be the Drudges of the Kingdom? |
A47928 | Why should a Commonwealth do worse Here, then in Holland? |
A47928 | Why should a Toleration do worse Here, then in Holland? |
A47928 | Why should not every Man be Govern''d by his own Conscience, as well in Consort, as in Solitude, as well in Company, as by Himself? |
A47928 | Will Presbytery ever satisfie, the Independents Conscience? |
A47928 | Will not every Man conclude, that the English are the Wretched''st Slaves upon the Face of the Earth? |
A47928 | Will not the Tolerated Party become a Sanctuary for all the Turbulent Spirits in the Nation? |
A47928 | Will you allow of no Ceremonies then at all,( you''l say) for the Instruction of the Vulgar? |
A47928 | With what face then, can you ask a Toleration from That Government, which of all Others, your selves refused to Tolerate? |
A47928 | Would you have his Majesty of Great- Britain, Tolerate Roman- Catholicks here, as his Most Christian Majesty does Protestants in France? |
A47928 | Would you have me open my Door to a Troop of Thieves, because there are four or five Honest Men in the Company? |
A47928 | Would you not take Time for an Answer? |
A47928 | [ And what follow''d?] |
A47928 | [ Esaminato con le solite Forme, confesso liberamente,& c.] What was it that Animated Ravillac to his Hellish Practise upon that Brave Prince? |
A47928 | [ How many Good Mens Deaths have the Bishops been the Cause of? |
A47928 | [ Quid aliud hic statuitur, quam quod in omnibus locis, Ecclesiis restitutum cupimus? |
A47928 | and Waat upon the Magistrate? |
A47928 | and that there were Thousands in the Army, that had no Unkindness for his Majesty? |
A47928 | and what not? |
A47928 | appear Non- Indifferent to some or other; if nothing may be Commanded, but what upon such a Phansie may be Disobey''d? |
A47928 | as much as all This amounts to? |
A47928 | did they not also appoint to meet in Armes, at the Tryal of them? |
A47928 | have started up even in our days, under the Protection of Liberty of Conscience? |
A47928 | into DO YOU Believe? |
A47928 | or who would have dream''d of any harm in a League for the Preservation and Defence of the King''s Majestie''s Person and Authority? |
A47928 | — What do you think now of UNCOMELY GESTURES? |
A50491 | 2. when he communicated the Gospel privately, to them that were of Reputation( and why? |
A50491 | 9. then follows, Are there yet the treasures of wickednesse in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure which is abominable? |
A50491 | A man for the punishment of his sins? |
A50491 | Against whom you have exalted your voice, and lift up your eyes on high? |
A50491 | Ah besotted Wretches ▪ Let me bespeak you in the language of the Prophet, Do you know against whom you shoot out the lip, and make a wide mouth? |
A50491 | All danger over? |
A50491 | All fled? |
A50491 | And alas, how small a Remnant is there that have escaped the common Pollutions? |
A50491 | And all this while, how many Devils whom thou seest not, stand some gaping to receive thee, and some labouring to make thee sure, and till thee on? |
A50491 | And amongst so many that say they love God, how few have manifested it by their love to their Brother? |
A50491 | And are these wickednesses provoking in the People, and not in their Teachers, who can never be guilty alone? |
A50491 | And awaken Powers to greater jealousies, and cause them to abridge you of the liberty yet reserved? |
A50491 | And can they find fault, if at length, their desires are granted? |
A50491 | And do they do any less, who hinder those that would run to help and save them? |
A50491 | And hath he not done thus? |
A50491 | And hath the matter been mended, since we have been under this sore Visitation? |
A50491 | And have we not had multitude, such walking in our streets? |
A50491 | And have you done lesse against God one day after another, by pouring down your superfluous Glasses? |
A50491 | And how manie Lyes told? |
A50491 | And how many Murders have we daily heard of, committed amongst us? |
A50491 | And if indeed they can not drive a trade without so great miscarriages, Is it not time that their Houses and Shops should be shut up? |
A50491 | And if men neglect their duty, can it be expected but that God should take the Sword of Justice into his own hands, and punish the Rebellious? |
A50491 | And if this be the way for an Union in the Catholick Church, why not in the particular Churches that are parts of it? |
A50491 | And in the New Testament especially, how frequent are the prohibitions, and how severe the threatnings denounc''d against it? |
A50491 | And is it not as great a sin, for the heart to run a whoring after these things, as to bow the body to an Idol? |
A50491 | And make as light of his Threatnings and Promises, and laugh at the talk of death and judgment, as they were wo nt to do? |
A50491 | And need you care, how the old clothes are rent and torn, so long as you shall never wear, nor need them more? |
A50491 | And shall they be less regarded than such? |
A50491 | And shall they that ought to cure, keep up and encrease them? |
A50491 | And shall those, who have no other aims than these, be kept out of the Ministry, as turbulent, factious, and schismatical? |
A50491 | And that you can easily shift it off, if they be required at your hands ▪ Did Christ die for souls,& shall they escape who murder them? |
A50491 | And they that are under sicknesse, and strook with the visible hand of God, how do their hearts sink within them like a stone? |
A50491 | And they who could not endure these terrible Preachers, let them now speak, whether the Threatning, or the Execution, be the more terrible? |
A50491 | And what now? |
A50491 | And what strange apparel for both men and women have the Devil, Pride, and Fraunce help''t us to? |
A50491 | And what''s the ground of all? |
A50491 | And what''s this for, but to couch others eyes to be fixt on them? |
A50491 | And why? |
A50491 | And will the Man of Violence swell his Fingers into Loyns, and exchange his Rods for Scorpions? |
A50491 | And wilt thou now be guilty of a madness as much greater than this, as sin and Hell, are worse than the Plague and Death? |
A50491 | And yet how readily accepted by many? |
A50491 | And yet what would we have? |
A50491 | Any service for which you shall need them? |
A50491 | Are Salvation and Damnation Indifferent things? |
A50491 | Are Traytors and Incendiaries, the fittest men to reclaim others from their Rebellion? |
A50491 | Are not these the true Sons of Valour? |
A50491 | Are not these, think you, sweet Preachers of the Gospel? |
A50491 | Are there not many openly guilty of that Drunkenness, Wantonness, Swearing, and such like Loosness, which they are appointed to turn others from? |
A50491 | Are they not too like that King Ahaz, who being afflicted, grew worse and worse? |
A50491 | Are they resolved not to be behind hand in sin for all that? |
A50491 | Are you afraid to Dye, and yet are not afraid to be Damn''d? |
A50491 | Art thou yet resolved to prepare for Death, and prevent Damnation, or not? |
A50491 | Art thou yet willing to be reconciled to God? |
A50491 | As if when they had beg''d of God, to teach them to keep( amongst the rest) the Fourth Commandment, they might then take Liberty to break it? |
A50491 | But a kind of Story, that no way concerns thee? |
A50491 | But alas, amongst the many that professe the Faith, how few are there who will take a Promise from God as good security? |
A50491 | But art thou willing to perform it? |
A50491 | But can they be zealous for God, and for subjection to his Laws, who will not themselves be rul''d thereby? |
A50491 | But if our Ancestors had gone by this Rule, where had the Gospel been? |
A50491 | But is it indeed the Publick Peace that by these things you consult for? |
A50491 | But pray you, Who give the Apostles and Primitive Christians leave for Three hundred Years after Christ, and who maintain''d them? |
A50491 | But talk not you of loathsome Sores? |
A50491 | But that we should all with one consent return to the God who hath smitten us, from whom we have back- slidden? |
A50491 | But though escape the Plague, art thou then secure? |
A50491 | But were People formerly thus affected, whilst we were bringing this upon our selves? |
A50491 | But what Death can be sudden to you, who are not unprepared for Death; but have made it the businesse of your lives, to fit your selves for it? |
A50491 | But what mind must that be? |
A50491 | But what talk I of my endeavours? |
A50491 | But what talk I of them, a company of sullen souls, much what like the people, we are wo nt to laugh at for Puritans? |
A50491 | But what then, shall no- body do any thing, because every man is but one, and hath many difficulties to encounter? |
A50491 | But yet now cries one, What can I do against an overflowing torrent of wickedness? |
A50491 | Can not you watch opportunities when they can best have while to hear you, and are most likelie to regard you? |
A50491 | Can the Devils Vassals destroy his Kingdom? |
A50491 | Can the Rod plead with, and importune them, so as the Word hath done? |
A50491 | Can you deny it? |
A50491 | Can you make such Professions as these to God? |
A50491 | Could there be no provision made against Seditious Meetings, without such Restraints as these? |
A50491 | Could we have done no more for God and mens souls, to inform the ignorant, convince the obstinate, quicken the godly, than we have done? |
A50491 | Did he ever in his Actions or Doctrine manifest such a contempt of Souls, and such an esteem for a Ceremony? |
A50491 | Did not Christ preach the Gospel to a Woman alone, and Philip to the Eunuch? |
A50491 | Did they cry out then, Oh how manie Thousand Oaths are sworn in a Week? |
A50491 | Did you fear he was so merciful, that you should never feel his wrath? |
A50491 | Did you imagine you had made an agreement with Death and Hell, that they should never swallow you up? |
A50491 | Did you indeed mean by your Blasphemies to dare God to his face? |
A50491 | Did you think he would be more tender of your Delicacies, than to Treat you so roughly, as he doth inferiour Sinners? |
A50491 | Do they not demean themselves, as if they were delivered to do all these Abominations? |
A50491 | Do you now repent of the cost and pains you have been at, or the sufferings you have under- gone for God? |
A50491 | Do you think that''s only, whilst you stand on a high place in the midst of an Assemby? |
A50491 | Do you think this is a slight matter? |
A50491 | Do you think this will procure you more hatred and sufferings? |
A50491 | Do your hearts sink within you like a stone? |
A50491 | Does not thy conscience accuse thee for having grown rich by Lying, Cheating, and Deceitful ways? |
A50491 | Dost think a few good words shall serve thy turn? |
A50491 | Dost thou make a pish at it? |
A50491 | Dost thou now lay aside the Book, and go about thy wonted business, as if thou hadst not been reading for Life or Death? |
A50491 | Doth God delight to hear his Name taken in vain, as these sensless sinners do in their solemnest services? |
A50491 | Doth not God now speak against it, in something a louder and harsher Language, than your Bawling Preachers were wo nt? |
A50491 | For if all, I say, use this, who is it must pacifie Gods wrath by their Reformation? |
A50491 | Go Gallants, get to your Galss; Powder and Curle, Paint and Spot, Deck and Adorn you, as you were wo nt?'' |
A50491 | Had you no cheaper way to undo your selves? |
A50491 | Hath God such a sore Controversie with us? |
A50491 | Hath he done so much, and yet will he yet do these and these things against us, and wilt thou not yet prepare to meet thy God, Oh England? |
A50491 | Have not we even wish''t there was never a Bible in the World, no God in Heaven; and lived as if indeed there was not? |
A50491 | Have they taken such a prejudice against the Word, Reformation, that they hate the very thing too, and the least appearance of it? |
A50491 | He now stands over thee with his Rod in his hand, and asks thee, Whether yet thou wilt seek, and serve him? |
A50491 | How Gentile, and fashionable a thing is it now grown, for men to be drunk, in Civility to the Company they are engaged in? |
A50491 | How can I bear it? |
A50491 | How can men entertain their Friends, or renew their Acquaintance, or drive any Bargain, without betaking themselves to some Tipling- house? |
A50491 | How common is it grown for the Gallants of our times, to Sacrifice one another Lives to their Lusts, to their Passion, or their Pride? |
A50491 | How do the most seek their own things, how few the things of Jesus Christ? |
A50491 | How doth our whole Nation seem even ready to Reel into its own Ruines, being seized with the Vertigo of an Epidemical Drunkennesse? |
A50491 | How few that have been deeply affected with the dishonours done to their Heavenly Father? |
A50491 | How frequent is this with many Shop- keepers in the City, when no necessity requires it? |
A50491 | How hath even profest Atheism abounded, that hath made a scorn of, not only the Duties, but Doctrines of Christianity? |
A50491 | How have we contemn''d the Threatnings of further wrath denounc''t against us by his Word and Ministers? |
A50491 | How have we mock''d God by our pretences to serve him, when our hearts have been far from him? |
A50491 | How have we trampled our mercies in the dirt, or thrown them in the face of the Giver? |
A50491 | How is the receiving this Sacrament made a meer matter of course? |
A50491 | How just is it then that God should take them off by his hand, if they knew not how to disengage themselves? |
A50491 | How long hast thou been tost to and fro by the hands of Violence and Contention? |
A50491 | How loudly did God cry, Who will rise up for me against the evil doers? |
A50491 | How manie Thousands Drunk, and how manie commit Lewdness? |
A50491 | How many Tricks have they devised for the maintaining of this sin, notwithstanding the most expresse Injunctions and Proclamations to the contrary? |
A50491 | How many are there, that more effectually preach for the Devil all the Week, than for God upon his Day? |
A50491 | How many have we, that are Celebrating the remembrance of Christs death to day, who are Crucifying him again to morrow? |
A50491 | How many pretty Pleas and Excuses have they got for Whoredom, Drunkenness, and the most monstrous Pride? |
A50491 | How many who have been shut up from all converse with men, were wo nt formerly to excommunicate themselves from the Publick Congregation? |
A50491 | How much money is expended but once, to furnish the Tables of these gluttonous Epicures? |
A50491 | How oft hast thou been bent this way, and that, into contrary extreams? |
A50491 | How pale and ghastly do their looks of a sudden become? |
A50491 | How quickly would all created Patience, though meeting in one Person, be quite tired out, and worn away? |
A50491 | How rare is it now adays to hear of a man punished for Drunkennesse, Swearing, Sabbath ▪ breaking? |
A50491 | How soon have we forgot his Rod, when when we have been but just from under the smart of it? |
A50491 | How strict is our Saviours Exposition of the Seventh Commandment, making a lustful glance the breach of it? |
A50491 | How will they loath the Physick, who love their very Sicknesse? |
A50491 | If any should here object, and say, But these profane men are peaceable, whil''st your Godly ones are turbulent and disobedient? |
A50491 | If every person thus shift it from himself, where will Repentance be found, and what''s like to become of us? |
A50491 | If it be demanded, what can be done more than to enact Laws, and appoint men to put them in force, and by a Solemn Oath engage them thereto? |
A50491 | If my tongue must needs complain, and my sight, and smell be offended with my self, all this shall not reach my heart? |
A50491 | If the silent Watchman be so damnably guilty, what are they that silence the Watchmen? |
A50491 | If there were an Army to go forth against the Enemy, and one person should draw back, and say, what can he do? |
A50491 | If thou canst but out- live this Mortality, dost thou think all is well then? |
A50491 | Is God angry, and shall not we fear? |
A50491 | Is it indeed to advance Christs interest, to save poor Souls from the devouring flames? |
A50491 | Is it not great odds, but the Contagion may shortly reach thee? |
A50491 | Is it our obedience to Authority you would have us manifest? |
A50491 | Is it such a harmless thing as you thought it, or not? |
A50491 | Is not a Pest- house a fitter place for such a man, than a Pulpit? |
A50491 | Is not the world then come to a brave passe? |
A50491 | Is not this a direful presage of farther Wrath? |
A50491 | Is not this indeed to be proud of our shame, since cloaths themselves had not been us''d, but for that shame which sin introduc''t? |
A50491 | Is there Evil in a City,( of Affliction that is) and hath not he done it? |
A50491 | Is there no remedy? |
A50491 | Is this fair dealing? |
A50491 | It may be this is a work thou never didst in thy life yet, but wilt thou now bring thy heart to it?'' |
A50491 | Let those that have made their Carcasses their care, be troubled for this? |
A50491 | Might but the undone Souls return, to describe this place of torments to their old companions, what a Language should we hear? |
A50491 | Might not this Peace have been procured better, by laying it upon those things whereon Christ hath laid the peace of his Church? |
A50491 | Must stark mad men be made Physitians, and sent to recover other men to their wits? |
A50491 | Must they that have the Plague- sores running upon them, be sent amongst others to prevent their Infection? |
A50491 | Must they then leave the world they have lov''d so much, and liv''d in so long? |
A50491 | Must thou now all in silence and sadness groan forth thy wretched Soul into another world? |
A50491 | Nay, rather hath it been worse? |
A50491 | Nay, what you count the most unsufferable Reproach, have you not been ready to interpret Gods Patience for Cowardice? |
A50491 | Nay, when men shall set themselves purposely to swear, and devise new Oaths that shall be al a mode, What possible pretence have they for this? |
A50491 | Never fear it, Sirs, why do n''t you know what I am pressing you to? |
A50491 | Notwithstanding this day of Adversity, how few will be brought to Consider? |
A50491 | Now Sirs, what''s your God, your Saviour worth? |
A50491 | Now he that should thus come to God; what is it for? |
A50491 | Now is not an holy life comfortable to your review? |
A50491 | Now they are even at their wits end, oh any thing, any thing for help? |
A50491 | Now where is thy life of mirth and sport? |
A50491 | Now with what astonishments and horrors, do they every moment expect to breath out their last? |
A50491 | Now, Sirs, what say you to sin? |
A50491 | Now, now wretch, what hath thy sin and carelessness brought thee to? |
A50491 | Of what a blessed consequence would even this be? |
A50491 | Oh God forbid that it should be thus, that we should grow worse under the Physitians hand, and that none of his strongest Medicines should work? |
A50491 | Oh Sirs, what is it you seek? |
A50491 | Oh for the Lords sake then all you his Servants up and be doing, and fear not: For God will be with you, what are you afraid of enemies? |
A50491 | Oh how exceeding few are there that are willing rightly to inform themselves of the nature, use and end of this day, and accordingly to improve it? |
A50491 | Oh how just is it then, That a general Punishment should at length, work us into a more general Compassion? |
A50491 | Oh how many titular Ministers have we got, that are far from deserving the name of Christians? |
A50491 | Oh how men shut up their bowels against their poor, necessitous, Visited Brethren? |
A50491 | Oh how will you compensate for the Disservice you have already done to the Gospel? |
A50491 | Oh is there not life in his smiles? |
A50491 | Oh might not you have done more to promote the Interest of your Lord and Master, than you did? |
A50491 | Oh one would think there should scarce an obstinate Sinner be left in the Nation after this? |
A50491 | Oh that some such an engagement was made the bond of our Union; our entrance into and observance of it the condition of our Church- Communion? |
A50491 | Oh the notorious gross Lyes and Perjuries, that some of their People have been guilty of, both before, and since their ejection? |
A50491 | Oh well is it for us ▪ that our God, who is mercy it self, rules in the World? |
A50491 | Oh what course shall I take to get bread, for my self and Family? |
A50491 | Oh what wouldst thou then give to be where thou wast, when thou thoughtest thy self at the worst? |
A50491 | Oh when at length wilt thou be set strait, and obtain a quiet rest? |
A50491 | Oh where are the hop''t for fruits of those Sufferings many of them have past through? |
A50491 | Or as if when they had prayed to God, to keep them that day without sin, they might boldly commit it? |
A50491 | Or did they think themselves now so secure, that without all danger they might provoke the most High God? |
A50491 | Or do they think to revenge themselves of God for the afflictions they have lain under? |
A50491 | Or may we not joyn, and unite our strength, and all set to a shoulder, for the carrying on of the work of the Lord? |
A50491 | Or on the other hand, Art thou not in a rage, that thy sin hath been too plainlie displayed, and too much disgrac''t? |
A50491 | Or that your Submissions to the Devil had made him so much your Friend, that he would not hurt you? |
A50491 | Or to men, as you will answer it at the great and dreadful day of accounts? |
A50491 | Or whether thou wilt go in sin, and be damned? |
A50491 | Or will they yet strive to aggravate the bitterness of mens spirits, and pursue their design of crushing them into the very dirt? |
A50491 | Or wilt thou therefore do nothing, because thou canst not expect a successe answerable to thy desires? |
A50491 | Or with your Swords and Pistols, as you were wo nt to serve the Serjeants that came to Arrest you? |
A50491 | Or, Who will stand up for me against the workers of Iniquity? |
A50491 | Poor man, thou criest out of poverty, losse of Relations, sicknesse and pain, but didst thou not know it? |
A50491 | Reader, Art thou an Honourer of Christ, and a Lover of Mankind? |
A50491 | Say not now, this is a difficult work, but tell me whether it be not needful? |
A50491 | Seem we not rather a Cage of unclean Birds? |
A50491 | Shal not God proclaim war against that people that have thus violated the Law of Nations? |
A50491 | Shall Blasphemy, and Swearing, and Cursing, be as loud as ever? |
A50491 | Shall God still be mock''t with Formalities, and dishonoured by mens Lives? |
A50491 | Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? |
A50491 | Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? |
A50491 | Shall Profaneness abound, and Religion be despised again? |
A50491 | Shall Taverns, and Brothel- houses, and Play- houses be frequented, and Gods Worship slighted, and neglected again? |
A50491 | Shall the Execution of his Judgments bring light? |
A50491 | Shall the tongue that was just now Cursing and Swearing, come presentlie and fall a praying, and think to be accepted? |
A50491 | Shall we be bettered by them or not? |
A50491 | Shall we cause God to complain of us, that he would have healed us, but we would not be healed? |
A50491 | Shall we yet be rent and torn with animosities and divisions? |
A50491 | So soon as ever the Rod''s from off us, shall we to our old courses again? |
A50491 | So they can but now get a Pound or a Shilling, how little do they regard the time of reckoning for all again? |
A50491 | Such that even in cold blood, and upon sober deliberation dare damn themselves? |
A50491 | Swell, and break, and stink flesh if thou wilt, I shall not be troubled with thee long? |
A50491 | Tell me man, Is it not a wonderful mercy to be awakened on this side Hell, let the means be what they will? |
A50491 | Tell me then, thou who art now so bold and resolute, so sottish and careless, Dost thou not think thou shalt dye? |
A50491 | That after a Civil Peace hath been graciously restored, the Church should still be so much divided? |
A50491 | That in those very streets where men have staggered and fallen down dead- drunk, they should there fall down stark- dead? |
A50491 | That in vain hath he smitten us, for that we would not receive Correction? |
A50491 | That should rather be turned out of the Church, than admitted into the Pulpit? |
A50491 | That we were not yet at home, and must not therefore think of setling here? |
A50491 | The question is, Whether thou wilt do thy utmost to change thy heart and life, that thou may''st be saved? |
A50491 | Think what you live for, and where you expect to stand shortly, and tell me whether a life thus laid out for God, will not then be your comfort? |
A50491 | This in Italy had been no such monstrous thing, but can it be accounted lesse in England? |
A50491 | Thou who wast wilfully deaf to the still voice, Is it not of thy self that a Message is delivered to thee in such terrible thundrings? |
A50491 | Thy darling sin which thou art resolved to keep, though thou have Hell with it? |
A50491 | To be a diligent Server of the most holy God, is made a matter of reproach? |
A50491 | To live up in the Principles of that Religion, we all pretend to, is to expose ones self at the least, to scoffs and jears? |
A50491 | To set upon thy Dutie, or to venture upon Helf? |
A50491 | To thee, Reader, let me betake my self: What have the workings of thy Soul been, whil''st thou hast been reading these Lines? |
A50491 | Was it not fit then that Death should reduce them to their right mind, when they are so wilfully distracted? |
A50491 | Was it not present death for a man to throw a Glasse of Liquor in your face? |
A50491 | Was it not time for us then to be told, and told to the quick what we were doing? |
A50491 | Was not our Ephah full? |
A50491 | Was you resolv''d to try how far his Patience would extend? |
A50491 | Was your power given you to any other purpose, than Edification? |
A50491 | Wast thou a man of Wealth, Wit, Power; a Magistrate, a Minister, a Master of a Family? |
A50491 | Were you afraid lest you should have miss''t of Hell? |
A50491 | What Cowards, do you turn your backs now? |
A50491 | What can any man in reason desire more? |
A50491 | What care I for thy Sores and Pains, so long as my Souls in health: Go make hast, and get thee to thy Grave, and there turn to Rottenness and Filth? |
A50491 | What could your wit find no other way to vent it self, nor your malice, any other Object? |
A50491 | What course wilt thou then take, when thou shalt see the Tokens of God upon thee? |
A50491 | What desirable things will the most pinching Poverty, the most grievous Pain then seem, compar''d to what thou wilt endure? |
A50491 | What did you challenge God to the Combat and now do you run for''t? |
A50491 | What do they recoil with greater eagerness to their vicious courses, as having been under a restraint for a while? |
A50491 | What do you think this is not preaching the Gospel? |
A50491 | What dost begin to call upon him now? |
A50491 | What else meant all your open, impudent wickednesse, but to bid God do his worst? |
A50491 | What grounds there are why Christians should not stand upon the same terms now, which they did in the time of Christ and his Apostles? |
A50491 | What hath been the Life of too many of our Gentry, but to eat and drink, and sleep, and rise up to play? |
A50491 | What have I to do with thee, Oh man, whoever thou art? |
A50491 | What moved you to Preach to your people before? |
A50491 | What multitudes are there, Who rise up to drink strong drink, who tarry at Night till Wine inflame them? |
A50491 | What say''st thou then after all? |
A50491 | What say''st thou then in the Name of God to this my earnest Request? |
A50491 | What shall I do? |
A50491 | What shall be now the issue of Gods Judgments that have been upon us? |
A50491 | What shall our Nation still be drowned in sin? |
A50491 | What so boon and jolly but now, and now down i th''mouth? |
A50491 | What strange things would these be to Catechize an Heathen in; and are they much fitter for Carnal ones? |
A50491 | What tell ye them of Rivers of pleasures at Gods right hand? |
A50491 | What then, was it a desire to save the Souls of your people? |
A50491 | What though the same Disease, and Death seize thee, as doth them? |
A50491 | What very trifles, meer flea- bitings wilt thou then judge Famines, Plagues, and heaviest Judgments that can light upon men whilst in the body? |
A50491 | What will thy Bags, and Bills, and Bonds, do thee no good? |
A50491 | What will you laugh at Hell, and now quake at Death, and flie from it? |
A50491 | What wilt thou do now, when thy own comforts have left thee, and God loaths thee, and casts out thy Death- bed howlings with disdain? |

A25212 | And when all is done, it''s a question whether the Ceremonies are so grateful to the greater and more considerable part? |
A25212 | And wherein does it oppose the Church, and contribute to a separation from it? |
A25212 | And whether he be a Minister at all who is not able in some measure to discharge both to Edification? |
A25212 | And who before his monstrous Schollar Coelestius, ever denied that all Mankind stood guilty of Adams Apostacy from God? |
A25212 | And who shall venture to make that the matter of an Ecclesiastical Canon, which the Apostle durst not venture to practise? |

A25212 | But what now if the people be foolish, proud, and contentious; what remedy has the Church 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A25212 | But what now if these Ceremonies be not The Like, but other- like? |

A25212 | But what would he have? |
A25212 | But who can measure the Sphere of the Magistrates Authority, unless we could take the just Diameter of it? |
A25212 | But why may not a Parliament make a Law, as well as the Ecclesiastical Court give a License, that it shall be Lawful to marry at any time of the year? |

A25212 | Did Davids heart smite him when he cut of Sauls garment? |
A25212 | Did we not carefully observe what things he wrote whilst a Presbyter, and what when made a Bishop? |

A25212 | Does he mean for the better, or the worse? |
A25212 | Does she Storm and Rage because we have retained two or three of her fine Ceremonies? |

A25212 | Is this the Iudgement of Discretion, to surrender our Consciences upon Discretion? |
A25212 | It had been a more Important Enquiry, than any he has yet made, whence such an exulcerated Spirit should proceed? |
A25212 | It s material too, who are to be instructed? |
A25212 | It would be enquired, If Rome be such an Enemy, what should be that which provokes her wrath and indignation? |

A51082 | And first you ask, why do not our Ministers join with your Courts for Church- discipline? |
A51082 | And how often have we heard and seen them accused and forfeited for rebellion? |
A51082 | And is this the vindication you promised? |
A51082 | And must not faith its alone proper application render us accepted to the Beloved? |
A51082 | And on the other hand, ought you not to indulge such, who only desire to re ● uge their Conscience, in the Sanctuary of an allowed forbearance? |
A51082 | And pray Sir, who of us did ever defend such a practice? |
A51082 | And seing that both members are groundless, what can your question import? |
A51082 | And should not you be ashamed, to obtrude to us Caesar''s groundless and calumnious assertion, against both the Princes their declaration and reasons? |
A51082 | And the Father of lights from whom cometh every good Gift? |
A51082 | And thereto the Duke subjoines, that this promise of assistance was his principal ingagement to arme: What think you then? |
A51082 | And what can the connexion import? |
A51082 | And what concord hath Christ with Belial? |

A51082 | And who enricheth us by Iesus Christ in all utterance and in all knowledge? |
A51082 | And who is he who doth not wish for a just measure of the like favour and assistance? |
A51082 | And why do ye without ground accuse us of a preference, whereof we are not guilty? |
A51082 | And why not; seing their rising ● specially that of Muncer, against which they took armes, was plainly seditious and rebellious? |
A51082 | And why not? |
A51082 | And will you still arrogantly pretend to be a Master of Ceremonies, in the Court of Heaven? |
A51082 | And would you have it blind, and not rational, and conscientious? |
A51082 | And, I pray Sir, what would you have him to say more? |
A51082 | Are not all the acts of Discipline and Government, properly thereto referable, of the same Nature? |
A51082 | Are not these then antient and undeniable precedents? |
A51082 | Are these wayes equal? |
A51082 | Are you not then ashamed, to talk of it, as a late device? |
A51082 | As for Diodat, and the rest you name, why do you not e ● hibite their words? |
A51082 | As for the love that you desire; should we love them that hate the Lord: you know whose profession it was, do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? |
A51082 | As for your Demand, why in your Worship do you not Kiss one another with a holy Kiss? |
A51082 | As for your appeal to Conscience, Whether fighting or suffering be the likelier way to advance Religion? |
A51082 | Be the minister what he will: What? |
A51082 | But Sir, are ye in good earnest? |
A51082 | But being resolved to carp, you say, why may not we have a Directory forwords, as well as things? |
A51082 | But if I may use a little freedome, why do you please your self so much in vain talk? |
A51082 | But if you say it may not; then, whether is it your meaning, that it may not at all be defended either against Superior, equall, or inferior? |
A51082 | But may we breake these sacred tyes, and abandone our selves to an implicite compliance, with every humane invention? |
A51082 | But what a pitiful allegeance is this, that Charles the fift forsooth declared it was not for Religion he fought? |
A51082 | But what maketh this for you? |
A51082 | But where is your reason for this insinuat distinction? |
A51082 | But wherefore should I insist in a matter so evident, and, at least as to the difference betwixt us, universally acknowledged? |
A51082 | But who can sufficiently declare and regret the madnes and ingratitude of this pride of man? |
A51082 | But why should I spend time on your triflings? |
A51082 | But you add a Question, In a word, what jealousies had you justly raised in the hearts of Princes, of your Government? |
A51082 | But you again return to the Doxologie, and asks, Why it may not be used in the end of singing, as well as it is used by us in the end of praying? |
A51082 | But you proceed to surprize your N. C. with a how want you Deacons? |
A51082 | But you say, they were fomented by some seditious Preachers, who pretended, the liberty of the Gospel for their chief quarrel? |
A51082 | But, seing you would appeare so accurate an observer of Providence, why do ye not also remember, how easily and safely the invader did escape? |
A51082 | But, since you suppose it to have been real, how is it that by your return, you do so pitifully betray your cause? |
A51082 | Certainly it can not be denied: Now seeing our Sessions did only medle with Sinnes, under the second formality, what doth your challenge amount to? |
A51082 | Could you not advert, that the Spirits prescriving, and mens, are different, and that he prescriveth to himself, without any restraint? |
A51082 | Did you beleeve that you spoke truth when you represented us as such? |
A51082 | Do not recurre and say it was certainly lawfull in many cases, but not against the Prince? |
A51082 | Do not these words plainly enough denote both Religion to have been the cause, and what was the Kings approbation of these wars? |
A51082 | Do we not know how rare a things it is, in a time of danger, for all concerned to unite even in the most uncontroverted duties? |
A51082 | Fye upon you M. Conformist, where is ingenuitie? |
A51082 | Good Sir, where is now your veneration for Antiquity and the holy fathers? |
A51082 | Having thus, Sir, vindicat, both the Truth and our rational Faculties, with how much advantage, might I retort your reproach of Childish weakeness? |
A51082 | He that is chief, let him be as he that Serveth not as a Nobleman: How then can ye acclaime either thing or title? |
A51082 | He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword; here is the Faith and Patience of the Saints? |
A51082 | How do the most common maximes of reason militat against you? |
A51082 | How do you then vex them with hard Laws, and grievous pains, more then you do heynous Malefactors: Who art thou that judgest another mans servant? |
A51082 | How foolish then is that stricture of your vanity, which you here subjoin? |
A51082 | How is it, that we attain to this state? |
A51082 | How long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? |
A51082 | How then do you taxe your N. C. for this allegeance, as a superficial Reader of History? |
A51082 | How we come to sing Psalms- prayers? |
A51082 | I am confident you would not: wherefore then do you urge us with his dreams? |
A51082 | I may not here insist on this subject: But, once for all, let me demand you, may not Religion be defended aswell as other rights and interests? |
A51082 | I will not say with Iehu, what have you to do with peace? |
A51082 | If infallibilitie be required in our extemporarie methods, wherefore not also in your Set- forms? |
A51082 | If this be good arguing, may not the prophane multitude have the same plea against all who abstain from fleshly lusts that war against the Soul? |
A51082 | Is a demand which one day will concerne Kings and Rulers, more then any of their Subjects: Why do they then judge? |
A51082 | Is it because we own no Office- bearers in the house of God, save such as are of his own appointment? |
A51082 | Is it not that we who were under the Curse and aliens, are accepted unto favour, pardoned, and brought near? |
A51082 | Is not this strangely contrived reasoning? |
A51082 | Is our esteem of, and adherence to, the wayes of righteousnesse, an overrating of things more then we ought? |
A51082 | Is your alledged traditional subsequent humane institution of Prelacie of greater moment? |
A51082 | It s answered, as it is but to tempt and mock God and his Providence, to neglect the means of preservation allowed by him? |
A51082 | It''s answered 1. do you then think that our Lords Kingdom is only Allegorick? |
A51082 | Know you not, that the usurping of this prerogative, both by your, and the Popish Church- men, hath been alwayes esteemed by us, an high arrogance? |
A51082 | Nay, what may he not do? |
A51082 | Next you Enquire why do you not anoint the sick with oyl? |
A51082 | Next you proceed to challenge our Discipline, and what warrant we have for it? |
A51082 | Next you say, Why may not the Christian Church compose new Hymnes, as they of Corinth did? |
A51082 | Now judge, but a little, what it is, to have a right apprehension of things? |
A51082 | Now, if any man would understand, wherein the sweetness, that is to be found in Divine converse, doth consist? |
A51082 | Or because the symboles and badges, usuall in Earthly Kingdoms, are, in a figure, thereto transferred, is it therefore wholly a figure? |
A51082 | Or doth it to either of them conclude a right? |
A51082 | Or is the Emperour only the head of the union? |
A51082 | Or was ever this part of his Majesties power by us questioned? |
A51082 | Or were this contraire to the designe and nature of Religion? |
A51082 | Or what Logick ● can prove that a just concurring assistance may be given in an unjust war? |
A51082 | Or what part hath he that keepeth Covenant with him that avowedly breaketh it? |
A51082 | Or will you admit it to be the Creating, and not also the Conserving cause? |
A51082 | Or, because money is current and symony a frequent practice in your Church, he s it therefore any place in Christs true Church? |
A51082 | Or, do you imagine that the Spirit in Prayer, is in the dress and form of words, so that whoever doth use them, doth pray by the Spirit? |
A51082 | Or, is the Spirit in the prayer so volatile, that it evaporats in the saving? |
A51082 | Or, is this one of the clearer grounds, you talk of? |
A51082 | Our Lords Kingdom is truely not of the World, nor as the Kingdomes thereof, is it therefore not in the World? |
A51082 | Paul did these things freely, therefore, you are bound to obedience: Do contraries, that remove, establish one another? |
A51082 | Pray Sir, are Publick Maters transacted without private mens accession? |
A51082 | Pray Sir, how or wherefore doth Scotland want that glory? |
A51082 | Pray Sir, is this only to change the opinion of things, and leave us as much ob ● oxious, to be subjected in obedience as ever the Jews were? |
A51082 | Pray Sir, was this a war provoked to by persecution& the necessity of defence, in which points, the justice of our courses doth cheifly Consist? |
A51082 | Pray Sir, what make these for your Supremacie? |
A51082 | Pray tell me, why the Church of Rome, that may boast as much of the same formula, may not as justly pretend to it? |
A51082 | Pray, Sir, do you think the Spirits of just men made perfect, are not as yet justified? |
A51082 | Pray, Sir, what is it? |
A51082 | Say not where is Christian Charity? |
A51082 | Setting aside therefore this your foisted in, Advancing, which all Non- conformists do disown, let us hear what you adde against Defending? |
A51082 | Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
A51082 | Sir I pretend not to your Privilege to scold in a meeke spirit, and to lie walking in the Spirit and falshood? |
A51082 | Sir, did ye dream by this device to terrifie your N. C. into a forbearance to charge you with the guilt of Superstition? |
A51082 | That they should be obeyed: is this their power for discipline and Government set down in Scripture,& not also its rules& limites? |
A51082 | That we are not at all obliged to the King by their Oath, but because the right of the Crown is in his Person: who can forbear to laugh? |
A51082 | The Spirit that giveth utterance? |
A51082 | The invention of Man, to the Ordinance of God? |
A51082 | The next demand your N. C. makes, is, How then is Saul charged, and his Children punished, for killing the Gibeonites? |
A51082 | The only difficulty in this argument is, whether the tuition and custodie of this Law be, by its addresse, intrusted to the people? |
A51082 | The thing I am concerned to notice is, why being so sharp in your resentment, are you so scant in your purgation? |
A51082 | The third defect you challenge is, why wanted you Evangelists? |
A51082 | Though in this place, the Spirits help for the direction of our words were not meant; can you deny, that, that gift, is not fully elsewhere promised? |
A51082 | Thus your nice ceremonious stomach, nauseats sure and solid truths: You add, shew me a reason, why you make prayers and not praises? |
A51082 | To this the Queen answereth, will yow allow ● that they shall take my sword in their hand? |
A51082 | Was it not, that they went about to establish their own righteousnesse; and therefore, they did not submit themselves unto the Righteousnesse of God? |
A51082 | We know the Reformation of England was never dated from that breach with the Bishop of Rome: But what then? |
A51082 | Well Sir, is this your candor? |
A51082 | Were the Apostles more then Ministers of Christ, and Stewards of the Mysteries of God? |
A51082 | What do you then bable of united Soverraigns, and Soveraigns within themselves? |
A51082 | What do you then intend by these instance? |
A51082 | What do you understand by the Church policie? |
A51082 | What doth this arguing conclude? |
A51082 | What impudence is this then whereinto you are hardened? |
A51082 | What is the state of Iustification? |
A51082 | What likeness find you in Gregories case to these practices that we maintaine? |
A51082 | What reasoning can be more absurd then that of yours? |
A51082 | What shall be then said of your ensuing words? |
A51082 | What strange dealing and doctrine is this? |
A51082 | What then doth this allegeance, destitute of reason and little favoured by truth, avail you? |
A51082 | What? |
A51082 | Where doth Naphtali allow mens private judgment and discretion to be their warrant in such practices? |
A51082 | Wherefore do you enumerat the Provincial Letters, so elaboratly write against them, among other profane Casuists? |
A51082 | Wherefore may not a partie given to sedition, or error, devise and compose Forms to the same purpose, and with more success? |
A51082 | Wherein doth it then differ, from actual Iustification? |
A51082 | Whether in set and imposed Forms; or as the Spirit giveth utterance? |
A51082 | Whether the Publick worship of God ought to be astricted to set and imposed Forms? |
A51082 | Whether you do indeed condemn the Papists, in many of the points by you enumerate, let be on better grounds, is to me very dubious? |
A51082 | Who denyes that the King may, within his Dominious, do the like? |
A51082 | Who ever heard such ridiculous discourse in such a serious purpose? |
A51082 | Who would not Laugh at such excessive confidence, above the excuse of all possible ignorance? |
A51082 | Who would not pity such impertinencies? |
A51082 | Why do they set at nought their brethren? |
A51082 | Why do ye not there ore use this rite? |
A51082 | Why do you then render you ● selfe ridiculous by such a pitiful alledgeance? |
A51082 | Why is a part separate for Penitents, and not for communicating? |
A51082 | Why then doth this vain subtilty so pitifully delude you? |
A51082 | Why then is not your discerning equall to your judgement? |
A51082 | YOu begin with a question, What great goodnesse it was which so commended our Partie? |
A51082 | You add, and we are born his Subjects: but, pray, doth our birth as men, or as men born in such a place, bring us forth with this character? |
A51082 | You object in the nex ● place, where do you read in Scripture, your classical Subordination of Sessions to Presbyteries,& c? |
A51082 | You say, If one should with a short- hand follow his prayer, whom we say prayes by the Spirit; then, may not that prayer be used over again? |
A51082 | You say, there are many Psalms prayers; and why may they not be used for constant prayers, as well as the other for constant praises? |
A51082 | Your N. C. asks, but doth not the Spirit help our infirmities and teach us to pray? |
A51082 | Your N. C. proceeds to argue thus: How was Adam obliged for his Posterity, if Parents can not binde their Children? |
A51082 | ],[ Amsterdam? |
A51082 | and do you think it strange that the various exercises of his Servants and People, should be accounted proper matter for this exercise? |
A51082 | and how you come to deny that Divine warrant which at first you half grant? |
A51082 | and if to obey, and conforme to mischief, framed by a Law, be time- serving? |
A51082 | and thirdly Why may not a Church- man officiat in a Surplice as- well as a penitent put on Sack- cloth? |
A51082 | and why not his Oath? |
A51082 | are you a Doctor in Israel, and also a high pretender for the King, and understands no better? |
A51082 | are you not then ashamed to make it their threatning and fear? |
A51082 | call you this Rigor? |
A51082 | do not these words clearly intimate, that the injury done them, was contraire to that former Oath, whereby they were secured? |
A51082 | do you mean to lay aside the Scripture? |
A51082 | have you forgot the anointing that teacheth us of all things? |
A51082 | if to forsake the way, and Truth of God, be to play the changling? |
A51082 | or have you already answered the full and just account, that I have given of our differences? |
A51082 | or in this accession, hath Conscience no concernment? |
A51082 | or is your Poëtick vain so nicely delicate, that you can endure no verses inferior to your loftie Pindarick? |
A51082 | or may the Magistrat annul, and make void the same, at his pleasure? |
A51082 | shall we continow in sin that grace may abound? |
A51082 | so, that which giveth an interest in the death of Christ, is faith, with a life conforme to the Gospel? |
A51082 | the dayes of the death of Martyrs, observed by the Church under the name of Natalitiae Mart ● rum? |
A51082 | was not the sure word of Prophecie their great warrant? |
A51082 | was there nothing of Religion in abstaining from these? |
A51082 | who can admit it? |
A51082 | who is now on the Lords side? |
A27046 | & c. Why not an Oath of Allegiance to make one a Coblar? |
A27046 | & c. and those that sell Perriwigs, Pide- silks and Ribbons? |
A27046 | ( And had he proved it, is that a justification of the Liturgy?) |
A27046 | 10. you seem to defend: and 1. you say[ What is this more, than some that writ for the Kings Cause in the late Wars professed?] |
A27046 | ? |
A27046 | A known falshood, if a Question may be false: What matter of Fact shall ever come to Posterity by such hands without falsification? |
A27046 | A man that never saw me: why did he not cite Bishop Brambal''s proof? |
A27046 | Alas, Brother, did you shew this to any man before you Printed it? |
A27046 | Alas, how fell the good man under this temptation? |
A27046 | Alas, will the good man turn Papist or Infidel, unless the Universal Church and a Diocesane have the same specifying difference, or formal Head? |
A27046 | Am I therefore a Conformist? |
A27046 | And I pray you, what number of Sinners must go to prove a Religion, Creed, or Articles false? |
A27046 | And are all these Fathers and Christians damn''d? |
A27046 | And are these his saving truths? |
A27046 | And are you sure that your Conformists also are damned? |
A27046 | And by what means shall any Church or Party under Heaven defend their Religion against such a Censurer and Disputant as you are? |
A27046 | And can one and the same thing have two different Essences, beings, and definitions? |
A27046 | And can you insist on such passages thus against your sight, when your Error is detected? |
A27046 | And did not all my tedious writings convince you before now? |
A27046 | And do not all Christians? |
A27046 | And doth he say Yea, or Nay? |
A27046 | And had the Text those contrary senses? |
A27046 | And hath not he forsaken you also? |
A27046 | And hath not the same Collect the same sense on the next days? |
A27046 | And have you now vindicated the Doctrine of the chief Prelatists any better than by disowning them? |
A27046 | And how came we to be less free than our Ancestors that made such Offices? |
A27046 | And how long it was before the Christians had many considerable Schools, much less Universities? |
A27046 | And how silly a shift is all this covered with? |
A27046 | And if we are taken for intollerable Malefactors, is not undeceiving our Accusers and Haters a necessary means of Peace? |
A27046 | And indeed, do you loath as much the altering of your Church Government as the Kings, and yet be loyal? |
A27046 | And is Communicating in the Lords Supper all the Conformity that is scrupled? |
A27046 | And is it hypocrisie then to say, I feared to displease you? |
A27046 | And is it not credible that every man loveth himself, and is unwilling to be ruined? |
A27046 | And is not that true? |
A27046 | And is that no difference? |
A27046 | And is that unequal? |
A27046 | And is the Captain a Troop, or the Pastor a Church, if he be the gatherer of it? |
A27046 | And is there no diversity in parte essentiae,( as in subalternis) where there is not a diversity in totâ essentia,( as there is in summis generibus?) |
A27046 | And must Christ bear such a charge as well as I? |
A27046 | And must you not Assent and Consent to all things in it? |
A27046 | And next, why did you not prove that we hold those rebellious Genevian Principles? |
A27046 | And our Question is not, what Party of Lads, or Apprentices, or Women did clamour against Bishops,? |
A27046 | And quid inde? |
A27046 | And so, whether the word Church here signifies but one Species? |
A27046 | And this Talk needs a Confutation? |
A27046 | And though I urge him, he will not answer what I said of the Question, Who shall judge whether the Minister be faithful? |
A27046 | And was it possible that you should think that this made for you? |
A27046 | And was that before the raising of the Army? |
A27046 | And were you willing here to be understood? |
A27046 | And what Doctrine is it to say, Christs Body is one; not as one is opposed to multitude, but to division and destruction? |
A27046 | And what a jumble of swearing and unswearing would you have us make? |
A27046 | And what else is it that we say, but the Using without Approving, satisfieth not the imposition? |
A27046 | And what got the People by that scruple? |
A27046 | And what if he can not be their Governour without their consent, doth this give them any part in governing? |
A27046 | And what if they do? |
A27046 | And what men the common Presbyters were; yea, and the Bishops for the most part? |
A27046 | And what more necessary to unite us against the common Adversaries? |
A27046 | And what need we more, were not the Parliament Lay- men? |
A27046 | And what of that? |
A27046 | And what saith he? |
A27046 | And what temerity is it to feign men to wrong Christ by that which was his Institution, and so judged and used in all the Churches? |
A27046 | And what then? |
A27046 | And what then? |
A27046 | And what''s all this to our Controversie? |
A27046 | And when I never had a hand in putting any such men out, and have kept many of your Party in: What room after this for such a Question? |
A27046 | And where should I begin but with the first? |
A27046 | And who knoweth not that proximity is but dispositio materiae, and not the differencing form? |
A27046 | And whose practice must it be that is the Exposition? |
A27046 | And why must my Ministry lie on a thing beyond my knowledge? |
A27046 | And why? |
A27046 | And will true Conscience be convinced by such Arguments? |
A27046 | And will you defend or own all that then was confessed by them? |
A27046 | And will you so grosly dispute down Non- conformity? |
A27046 | And would they also repent and change their minds, if they were alive? |
A27046 | Anne putares? |
A27046 | Answer, Is this proving? |
A27046 | Answer, Still worse and worse: what Confusion is here? |
A27046 | Are Conformists come to that? |
A27046 | Are Presbyterians all for Excommunicating Kings? |
A27046 | Are Rubricks of no use? |
A27046 | Are not Bishops and Laicks partes heterogeneae? |
A27046 | Are not Christ and Christians, the King and the Subjects of the Universal Church, partes heterogeneae, in esse politico relativo? |
A27046 | Are not diversa distinguishable as well as opposita? |
A27046 | Are not the words universal? |
A27046 | Are not these words plain? |
A27046 | Are not whole stones part of Mountains? |
A27046 | Are such Doctrines of certain Faith no parts of the Book? |
A27046 | Are they not Relative opposita? |
A27046 | Are they not worthy to be silenced and branded as you have done, that can resist such Light? |
A27046 | Are we guilty of that Mistake, who Take it, and Write for it? |
A27046 | Are we not to do it in every partaking of the Lords Supper? |
A27046 | Are we, I say, we now living, and silenced, answerable for all that any Presbyterian holdeth, any more than you are for what Hooker holdeth? |
A27046 | Are your Logicks above my skill to answer? |
A27046 | Are your ways here equal too? |
A27046 | Are your words like Cyphers, that change their power by such additions? |
A27046 | As if the King be contrary to himself, if his Kingdom and a Corporation or School be not of the same species? |
A27046 | As to your doubt, whether England infected not Scotland? |
A27046 | Barclay and Grotius make? |
A27046 | But I pray you dream not, that I take all the old Ministry for such as these? |
A27046 | But I think the King may not Administer Sacraments or Spiritual Discipline himself: Which of our Kings did it? |
A27046 | But all your ways are just and equal: But I pray you, why was no Article about Excommunicating Kings offered us as a Test? |
A27046 | But did they not increase and multiply? |
A27046 | But do you believe therefore that there are no subordinate Species of Churches and Honour on Earth? |
A27046 | But doth that prove that there are no subordinate Societies in these? |
A27046 | But fie, Sirs, why will you talk of[ straining Oaths, and turning plain Oaths into Snares, ana ● allowing no Interpreters?] |
A27046 | But how heedlesly do you read? |
A27046 | But how long since after Edge- Hill Fight? |
A27046 | But if Episcopal men are so unstable and simple to be drawn into such a War by a few Non- conformists, why do you not acknowledge it? |
A27046 | But if all the Christian world be of the same mind, do they all set up Atheism, and are you only free? |
A27046 | But if it must needs be so, I pray dispute no more against the Non- conformists, or dispute against them better by your Lives, than you have done? |
A27046 | But is this the Question? |
A27046 | But is this true? |
A27046 | But it is not these Ends that will serve to prove a War lawful? |
A27046 | But nobis non licet, Must we be Silenced and ruined for want of such Charity? |
A27046 | But the Question is, Whether these be such? |
A27046 | But what Party it was that raised the War? |
A27046 | But what am I doing? |
A27046 | But what good will it do the Reader, to have this mans Falshoods detected and numbred? |
A27046 | But what if all this had been true? |
A27046 | But what if the Bishop spake as falsely, as if he had said that I pleaded for Mahomet? |
A27046 | But what if the first Non- Conformists erred? |
A27046 | But what meant he to say[ should it be practised?] |
A27046 | But what were the parts they had to act? |
A27046 | But what''s all this to our Case in hand?] |
A27046 | But what''s next? |
A27046 | But what''s this to the Case? |
A27046 | But where did the Lord Digby say it? |
A27046 | But where is it that I said, that these honest Conformists sin avowedly, delaberately, and against knowledge? |
A27046 | But where''s his proof? |
A27046 | But who accused them? |
A27046 | But why talk you of none being Interpreters? |
A27046 | But will you falsly accuse the part that is good for the part that is evil? |
A27046 | But you come to the quick, and say,[ Is there no Communion but personal? |
A27046 | But( saith he) may not a man be a Shepherd by calling and occupation, unless he have a Flock, as well as a Physician? |
A27046 | But, saith he, Why not à Church- Covenant for all other Duties? |
A27046 | But, saith he,[ This makes against you — Can any man forbid these people from being Members of the Particular Church that are of the Universal?] |
A27046 | Can you believe this? |
A27046 | Can you not forbear this ill custome a few Lines together? |
A27046 | Can you prove that I am for Silencing faithful Ministers, and making partition separating hedges in the Vineyard of Christ? |
A27046 | Christ and a Bishop are heterogeneous: Yea, a Diocesane and a Parish- Priest: have you proved that they are not? |
A27046 | Could it have been proved, would not the Duke of Buckingham have alledged it against his Adversaries? |
A27046 | Could that be the Cause or Controversie which they were both agreed in? |
A27046 | Did I? |
A27046 | Did ever Christian before you, deny particular Churches to be distinct policies, and parts of the Universal? |
A27046 | Did he not tell you that the Copy was interlined with Hookers own hand, as approving it? |
A27046 | Did not even the Westminster- Assembly of old Conformists forsake it assoon as they could? |
A27046 | Did not we live in the Country with them? |
A27046 | Did such men as Dr. Twisse, Mr. Herle, Mr. Gataker, Mr. Vines,& c. want the Instruction of our present Lords, to make them wise enough to Conform? |
A27046 | Did these Lads give the Earl of Essex his Commission? |
A27046 | Did these satisfie him to Conform herein? |
A27046 | Did they never read or hear what might be said for the New- Conformity? |
A27046 | Did this prove me to be neither fish nor flesh? |
A27046 | Did you ever know any put to death or burnt at a Stake for your Opinion? |
A27046 | Did you not know till now, that the Nonconformists are not in all things of one mind? |
A27046 | Did you think we must take your bare word in so great a case? |
A27046 | Do I mai many Sentence? |
A27046 | Do I pervert any? |
A27046 | Do all or half the Non- conformists profess themselves Presbyterians? |
A27046 | Do any Independents say that none are Christians but their special charge; yea, or stated Members of particular Churches? |
A27046 | Do not Heathens abhor such Injustice as this? |
A27046 | Do not men pay dearer for a place in a Play- house, than in the Church? |
A27046 | Do not the Popish, Protestant, Episcopal, and Presbyterian, differ in the Form of Government? |
A27046 | Do not those of the same Form differ as Individuals by their several Rulers? |
A27046 | Do not you in Print proclaim men to be flesh or fish, hot or cold, that are not so? |
A27046 | Do they think it enough to warrant their slanders of us, because one of their Archbishops hath slandered us before them? |
A27046 | Do we forbid them that are not willing, or do they forbid themselves? |
A27046 | Do we shut them out that will not come in? |
A27046 | Do you intimate an Accusation against Many of them; and when I name almost all of that County neer you, will you absolve them all? |
A27046 | Do you know that the Parliaments Adherents drew up a Catechism out of that Answer, as pretending to justifie all their Cause by it? |
A27046 | Do you know what Discipline they were of at Prague? |
A27046 | Do you mean in you or in me, or all others? |
A27046 | Do you not Assent to that neither? |
A27046 | Do you not tremble your self, when you question whether they be not gone to a worse place and revile us for the hopes of their Salvation? |
A27046 | Do you resolve to cast away all Religion, if Christ and a Bishop be not the same informing regent parts of the Church Universal and particular? |
A27046 | Do you say one word to prove your affirmation? |
A27046 | Do you think that the Christian world, which hath ever been of the opinion which you detest, had never any Religion? |
A27046 | Doth every one that after consenteth do more? |
A27046 | Doth he not know that it is practised by them all? |
A27046 | Doth he take such Arguments for unanswerable? |
A27046 | Doth he that dishonoureth the University, deserve honour for being at the University? |
A27046 | Doth it not imply, that you will take an Oath your self, if you judge but one part of it lawful? |
A27046 | Doth it oblige only the first time? |
A27046 | Doth not the extreme bold confidence of the falsest of his own conceptions, shew a very unhumbled overvaluing of his own understanding? |
A27046 | Doth not this savour of Factious malignity? |
A27046 | Doth the Act go to the Essence of the Object? |
A27046 | Doth the Physician forbid them to be his Patients that consent not? |
A27046 | Doth this suppose them ungodly before? |
A27046 | Durst you swear that none of the Lords, or Commons, or Citizens meddled with the War, but those that entred into the Army? |
A27046 | Either they were at Manhood, or in breeches at least, or not: If not, he should have chosen other Counsellers: If yea, were they Laymen or Clergymen? |
A27046 | Enquire who drave away the People of Kederminster? |
A27046 | Farwel the credit of all History, if there be no truer Historians:( But how shall Posterity know who they are?) |
A27046 | For who can hold that which will away? |
A27046 | Had he forgot how much of his Book is to prove even Bishops and Presbyters as widely different? |
A27046 | Had he no pretence for it? |
A27046 | Had it not been better for your to have let your Logick alone, than to bewray that which you might have concealed? |
A27046 | Had the Martyrs been burnt, if men had been of this minde? |
A27046 | Had they not Learning or Wit enough to understand it? |
A27046 | Hath Christ a multitude of Bodies univocally so called? |
A27046 | Hath Christ many Universal Churches containing all Christians headed by Christ? |
A27046 | Have I so oft exprest it, and yet will you say so? |
A27046 | Have there not since more( of the Laity) turned from you, than have turned to you? |
A27046 | Have we so many Books written of Ecclesiastical Policie, and is there no such thing? |
A27046 | Have you read him all, and understand him no better? |
A27046 | Have you read the Kings Answer to the 19 Propositions? |
A27046 | He addes,[ What shall godly Strangers, Travellers,& c. do? |
A27046 | He saith,[ Why then do you blame turning Parish- Churches into Chappels, and making them but parts of a Diocesane, as a Troop of an Army?] |
A27046 | He that refuseth Consent to be a stated Member, is none such: But is he therefore no Christian? |
A27046 | He would 1. make it doubtful, Whether it was a Vow to God? |
A27046 | Hearken whether they talk not more for Bishops, than for any other Sect? |
A27046 | How came he to think that Election is nothing to the case, as if Consent were something more? |
A27046 | How could you wink so hard, as not to see that your false witness confuteth it self? |
A27046 | How did this bold man know my thoughts? |
A27046 | How false is it then, that[ this is distraction and rage?] |
A27046 | How far doth your hearing reach? |
A27046 | How far will that hold? |
A27046 | How few words of Truth, and soberness, and soundness, can you number among all these? |
A27046 | How little truth is in all this, and abundance such? |
A27046 | How long will you be of the Parish- Priests or the Diocesans Flock, or of a Physicians Hospital? |
A27046 | How many of that Party have you known in such places of Trust? |
A27046 | How shall the unlearned know when they are safe? |
A27046 | I hope he doth not think all is excluded that is not to be named? |
A27046 | I hope then a Bishop and a Presbyter are all one, that in your sorry sense agree in uno tertio? |
A27046 | I know it is not But Cassander dealt more Candidly than you do Is there any thing that could be imposed, that would make you a Non- conformist? |
A27046 | I know there are many excellent men: But I think the present Non- conformists as fit for the Sacred Office as these;( Is that presumption?) |
A27046 | I left them out, because the Book could not be Licensed else: And should I not rather leave out a few Names, than cast away the whole Book? |
A27046 | I mean, not as if All were such; but it hath been my hard hap to meet with few persons, even of Gentile Education, who ask me, Why do you not Conform? |
A27046 | I never till now read or heard Papist, Protestant, or any Christian of his mind: And, alas, are divers of it now? |
A27046 | I own that which you transcribe? |
A27046 | I say, can I expect that such should be able or willing to understand us? |
A27046 | I suppose you know, when the Test in the Corporation- Act was imposed, that Party were then turned out of all Corporation- power? |
A27046 | I will not examine your Reasons: The King never made me his Confessor, nor put the question to me; Why then should I make my self a Judge of it? |
A27046 | If Christ and a Bishop in esse relationis politicae differ essentially, must good and bad, Heaven and Hell be all one? |
A27046 | If I give him no more than he is willing of, what do I put him out from? |
A27046 | If I have disputed the Case by Reasons, Why did he not cite them, and tell where? |
A27046 | If a Captain have commission to raise a Troop, is consent of the Listed needless? |
A27046 | If by[ All] or[ None] I understand All or None, and you understand not All but Some, who is the Strainer of the Oath? |
A27046 | If de re, do you mean any more than that he is authorized to gather and rule a Flock? |
A27046 | If it be, dare you oppose it? |
A27046 | If more, what is it? |
A27046 | If not, how shall we know which words are useless? |
A27046 | If not, is not one of them contrary to the Text? |
A27046 | If not, tell us how we shall know what are parts of it, and to what we must consent? |
A27046 | If our Preaching did no good to Souls, why should you think that yours does any? |
A27046 | If so many in Queen Maries days were burnt for denying the Real Presence,& c. Shall I not fear Perjury? |
A27046 | If so, is not[ conteined] an idle word when all men know that all that is prescribed is conteined? |
A27046 | If so, you are men of no true Religion: If not, why expect you it from us? |
A27046 | If the Materia Jurata be Lawfull, do you think that the unlawfulness of the other two, do leave no need of an Absolution? |
A27046 | If there be any such, what''s that to me? |
A27046 | If you can think so, why must all be silenced that think otherwise, and dare not be so bold? |
A27046 | If you mean that indeed they do not, why would you not say so, and deal plainly? |
A27046 | If you preach the same Gospel, why should you think so well of your own works above other mens? |
A27046 | If you require me to write out all his Book, when ever I transcribe a part? |
A27046 | In some places not two of the old staid in: And is it any wonder then, if none of that Party be in such Power? |
A27046 | Is Christ''s Discipline against our highest Priviledges? |
A27046 | Is Mr. Allen''s Book for Covenanting, and Mr. Rawlet''s of Sacramental Covenanting, such unchristening Heresies? |
A27046 | Is a Positive and a Comparative Assertion all one?] |
A27046 | Is a man and womans Consent needless, unless the Ministers marrying them be needless? |
A27046 | Is he a compleat Pastor of a Flock that hath none? |
A27046 | Is he not a Calumniator, unless he prove it? |
A27046 | Is it Schism to say, That it is unlawful like Atheists to cease all Publick Worship of God, till Conscience can finde it lawful to Conform? |
A27046 | Is it all the Christian world? |
A27046 | Is it damnable or sinful to covenant to be a godly Servant, or a godly Husband or Wife, or a godly Minister or Magistrate? |
A27046 | Is it so frightful a thing for me to say, I will be no Pastor to any that consent not, as to put you into talk of dying and burning at a Stake? |
A27046 | Is no modesty or tender fear of sinning against the Ninth Commandment left? |
A27046 | Is not Animal rationale a just definition of a man, without naming his Liver and Spleen, or Heart? |
A27046 | Is not Conformity now another thing? |
A27046 | Is not Consent then necessary to the imposed Pastor, if not consenting Unchristen men? |
A27046 | Is not a whole hand or foot part of a whole man? |
A27046 | Is not one Joshua Placaeus pro deitate Christi, worth all that ever was then wrote? |
A27046 | Is not the Genus& differentia enough for a definition? |
A27046 | Is not the mateial Universe made up of compounded parts? |
A27046 | Is not your Superiour''s judgment imposed on you to Assent to? |
A27046 | Is such Conformity tolerable, and our Preaching intolerable without it? |
A27046 | Is that an unequal expectation? |
A27046 | Is that the art of defining? |
A27046 | Is the rest contradictory to this? |
A27046 | Is there any part of the Universe if this be true? |
A27046 | Is there no such thing as Personal Communion in presence, because there is such a thing as distant Communion of another sort? |
A27046 | Is this fairly done, to pretend that to be the Controversie which I never undertook to meddle with? |
A27046 | Is this it in which the Authority of Archbishops consisteth, that they must be followed in slanders? |
A27046 | Is this lawful? |
A27046 | Is this made by a Minister a heinous sin? |
A27046 | Is this the equality of your way? |
A27046 | Is this the usual sence of[ All things,& c.] If not, where have the Law givers given us another? |
A27046 | It is a fallacy, A dicte secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter: I only askt you, What Farthing doth it take from their Estates? |
A27046 | It is a wonder to me that an Englishman should be in doubt who they be that drive men from the Parish Churches? |
A27046 | It is not one or two such men as are the Guides of Souls in England: But what? |
A27046 | Judge by old experience: Were old Hildersham, Ames, Dod, and hundreds like them, brought to Conformity heretofore? |
A27046 | Judge by present Experience: Why is it not done, if it be morally possible? |
A27046 | Let those sober men pass by; Do such Houses want custome? |
A27046 | May not a Town, Hospital, or Person, chuse a Physician as theirs if he were licensed be- before? |
A27046 | May you not distinguish Army, and Regiment, and Troop, Kingdom and City, Christ and a Bishop? |
A27046 | Most Christians live not according to the Christian Profession: Is the Christian Profession therefore bad, and the cause of all their Villanies? |
A27046 | Must it be all, or the major part, or will any one serve? |
A27046 | Must not Popery be renounced till you are all herein agreed? |
A27046 | Must we all turn Papists upon your immodest naked saying, it is so? |
A27046 | Must we judge all lawful, because our Guides do so? |
A27046 | Must we write Books against such things as these? |
A27046 | Must we write Histories out of mens secret thoughts and hearts, and call men only what they are conscientiously and in sincerity? |
A27046 | Nay what if he can not baptize a Non- consenter, or give him the Lords Supper, is the Refuser a Church- governour? |
A27046 | Next he aggravates this Injury: And who contradicteth him? |
A27046 | Next he asks, How can any man know the right Church then? |
A27046 | Next, he questioneth,[ Who shall degrade them that prove Heretical or Scandalous? |
A27046 | Next, he quibbles onely with a Question[ How long shall it last?] |
A27046 | Nor are we agreed of all forbidden in Gods Laws; Must we therefore forbear no sin? |
A27046 | Nor hath now any? |
A27046 | Nor no different species of the civil honour, what not to Kings, Parents, Masters? |
A27046 | Nor the Bishops to silence Ministers that refuse such Conformity? |
A27046 | Of the Wars I spake before: What other doth he name? |
A27046 | Oportuit fuisse memorem? |
A27046 | Or can I know who are capable till I know who consenteth? |
A27046 | Or did we spring out of their Loins, and must be silenced for such Original sin, derived from them that were no kin to us? |
A27046 | Or had they no Conscience living or dying? |
A27046 | Or what if I vowed without the Command of any power? |
A27046 | Or, whether the King of France be absolute? |
A27046 | Our Question is, Whether Silencing, Fining, Imprisoning the Non- Conformists, be the way of Peace, and of the desired Concord of Protestants? |
A27046 | Say you so; our Question is, Whether different Degrees in the subject may vary the species of Relations? |
A27046 | Seaman,& c. did not consider what they did, neither in their Health, nor before their Death? |
A27046 | Semper idem? |
A27046 | Should I abuse the Reader by a particular Answer to them? |
A27046 | Should we not have known them? |
A27046 | So I perceive you would have me Conform that I may Preach: And what should I Preach against but Sin? |
A27046 | So the Rubrick and the 39 Articless were the judgment of your Superiours: But are not they, and that Preface, parts of the Book? |

A27046 | Suppose, so the Covenant hath some good? |
A27046 | That you seem to me to come near to Blasphemy, to intimate that Christ ordained so vain a Discipline: What? |
A27046 | The Canon forbiddeth the Minister to refuse any as aforesaid; What''s this then to the rest? |
A27046 | The Liturgie bids men come tell the Ministers before- hand that they desire the Communion: Shall I ask them to consent to their duty when it is past? |
A27046 | The Question is but whether it be our Church- men or theirs that are to be believed? |
A27046 | The Question is not, What were the final Motives of the War? |
A27046 | Then what remedy? |
A27046 | These things being premised, I ask you, Are you in good sadness? |
A27046 | They never pretended to it: How many men are so, whose Faith is their own? |
A27046 | Till then, is it the Pastors that refuse such till they voluntary seek it, or the Contemners of these Priviledges, that are to be reproved? |

A27046 | or is it not the same spirit? |
A27046 | or must we lay by our senses in believing such Writers against damning errour? |
A27046 | or no Churches that are Politick Societies? |
A27046 | or that they are? |
A27046 | or were any but Consenters Members of that Church? |
A27046 | or why was there never any such difference between us and the Prelatists pretended? |

A96610 | 5. and Acts 15& c. Who, that puts this inference into Christs balance, but will see the lightness of it, thus? |
A96610 | Againe, saith he, it may be the heretick was never a member of the church; how then shall the church do? |
A96610 | Alas, what buildings can weak souls expect from such Master- builders, when Master Cotton is so confounded about the very foundations? |
A96610 | All that is here said, is this, We look at it as more tolerable? |
A96610 | And doo not these words[ for avoyding the grounds of your Errour] import so much? |
A96610 | And if God hide from his, from any, who can discover? |
A96610 | And if Master Cottons doctrine be true, why must not the Magistrate be sought unto, that a true Gospel be received and believed? |
A96610 | And then what is become of the foundations of the Christian faith? |
A96610 | And will Master Cotton say that Christ Iesus exalted himself above God, inspying out so great a mystery? |

A96610 | Are all the Thousands of millions of millions of Consciences, at home and abroad, fuell onely for a prison, for a whip, for a stake, for a Gallowes? |
A96610 | Are no Consciences to breath the Aire, but such as suit and sample his? |
A96610 | Are the Armories of the true king Solomon Christ Jesus disarmed? |
A96610 | BUt what knot in a Bulrush is that, which Master Cotton observes the discusser findes in his first distinction of persecution for cause of conscience? |
A96610 | Beside, if known hypocrites may be suffered and not cast out, Why may not known hypocrites be taken in? |
A96610 | Besides, are not those first foundations, which he saith concerne salvation, foundations also of the Christian Religion? |
A96610 | But further( saith Master Cotton) it is not true, that Antichristians are to be let alone untill the end of the world, Why? |
A96610 | But how falls an Antichristian or Apostate more directly under the stroake of the Civill Sword, then a Jew or Turke or Pagan? |
A96610 | But how( sayth Mr Cotton) can an Act of morall righteousnesse be figurative? |
A96610 | But is not this halting between God and Baal? |
A96610 | But is not this the guise and profession of all that ever persecuted or hunted men for their Religion and conscience? |
A96610 | But is there any such and professed tolleration of Antinomians, Presbyterians, Anabaptists, as is here insinuated? |
A96610 | But what is this to a conclusion laid down? |
A96610 | But what is this to the nations of the world, the states, cities ▪ and kingdoms thereof? |
A96610 | But what makes this to Heretickes, Blasphemers, Seducers, to them that sin against their Conscience( as Mr Cotton sayth) after Conviction? |
A96610 | But what may be said to Master Cottons argument? |
A96610 | But what say you to the passage about the second beast, bringing fire from heaven? |
A96610 | But what say you to this reply, touching how far the New English( implicite) Parishes compare and partake with those of old? |
A96610 | But whither tends this last passage concerning David? |
A96610 | But why should Master Cotton insinuate the discusser to glance a more obsequious eye upon the Pope, then upon the Emperor? |
A96610 | But why should Master Cotton ● ● ● ● sinuate any affection in the discusser to that Tyrant of all earthly Tyrants, the Pope? |
A96610 | But( Fourthly) saith he, they are called Gods, and shall they not attend Gods work? |
A96610 | By what rule of God or Christ hath a Magistrate of this World, Authoritie, so to punish the one above the other? |
A96610 | By whose command, and by what meanes and ordinances, by whose power and authority, but by the command, meanes and power of Christ Jesus? |
A96610 | Can it be imagined that those wicked Kings, Jeroboam ▪ Baasha, Ahab& c. were figures of Christ Jesus? |
A96610 | Can the sword of steel or arme of flesh make men faithful or loyal to God? |
A96610 | Can there be peace, Jehu ▪ so long as the whoredomes of Jezabel and her witchcrafts are so many? |
A96610 | Complaines Master Cotton of persecution for such dealing against him? |
A96610 | Doth he indeed plead for liberty of conscience? |
A96610 | Doth he quiet his minde with this;[ God knoweth who are his? |
A96610 | Doth not even the naturall Conscience and Reason of all men put a Difference? |
A96610 | Doth not every Leafe and Line breath the contrary to what Mr Cotton here insinuateth? |
A96610 | For when the person changes and Religion too, how grossely notorious have been the Cleargies Changes also? |
A96610 | For will my honoured and beloved friend not know me for feare of being disowned by his Conscience? |
A96610 | God hides from sinfull man, God will reveale before All?] |
A96610 | Had they not power to convince false Prophets, as Elijah did the Prophets of Baal? |

A96610 | How many hope this storm is over? |
A96610 | How many wofully pervert many grave and heavenly Passages and Expressions of holy Scripture to base and filthy Jeasting? |
A96610 | How were our selves suspected, and traduced for counterfeits; and our pious and peaceable Meditations, cruelly condemned to the devouring flames? |
A96610 | I answer what if he had not a law from Caesar, if yet he had a law from Christ Iesus, as Master Cotton implies? |
A96610 | I know what troublesome Effects followed in the same place, and what Breaches of Civill and humane Societie? |
A96610 | I reply, and ask, who shall judge of Princes profession and practice, when they thus feed and judge in spirituall matters? |
A96610 | I say, what will become of them( especially if power were in Master Cottons hand to deal with them as Wolves?) |
A96610 | If it be denied, I ask to what end the Lord hath given those holy rules of admonition? |
A96610 | If not of the Christian, then I demand of what Religion are they foundations? |
A96610 | If such wolves, whores, and witches could yeeld no civil obedience, could they then exercise( by the same argument) any civil authority? |
A96610 | If your own professions of Christ Jesus prove but a fading colour, and not died in the right Grain of the pretious blood of the Son of God? |
A96610 | Is he indeed on the Lord Jesus mind for the sparing mens bodies, and present life, for their souls and eternal lives sake? |
A96610 | Is it not a duty of righteousness belonging to the people of God, to enjoy the free passage of religion? |
A96610 | Is not Christ Iesus the onely King of Israel; and are not all his holy ones made Kings and Priests unto God? |
A96610 | Is not this to make his kingdom of this world, and to set up a civil and temporal Israel? |
A96610 | It is a common Question, made by most, who shall be Judge of this Convicted Conscience; shall the lustfull Ravisher( the Persecutor) be Judge? |
A96610 | It is objected, was the Church of the Jewes temporall that was assisted and protected with a temporall Sword? |
A96610 | It will be said, What slaughters, what drinking of Bloud is that which Christ Jesus in these Scriptures intendeth? |
A96610 | Let them alone, that is, in civil State? |
A96610 | Master Cotton himself grants David and Solomon types of Christ Jesus, and yet, how abominable and monstrous some of their practices? |
A96610 | May not the most High be pleased to hide from his as well as from the eyes of his fellow- Servants, fellow- mankinde, fellow- English? |
A96610 | Now in case rhey seduce not, they are to be persecuted as idolaters and blasphemers, how then are they to be tolerated? |
A96610 | Now what is this to the permitting of known hypocrites in the Christian church to the worlds end? |
A96610 | Now( saith he) what is the church but a congregation of righteous men? |
A96610 | O what a Distance is between that Doctrine and this here? |
A96610 | O what cause therefore have all that follow Iesus to beg of Iesus( as the Disciples did) the blessed Key of David to unloose this holy mistery? |
A96610 | Of the Motions and pleadings of some( not the meanest of their Ministers) for Tithes? |
A96610 | Of this no question? |
A96610 | Or careth God for the outward Loyalty or Faithfullness, when the inward- man is false and treacherous? |
A96610 | Or did Christ Iesus appoint it to be so in all the Nations of the world, since his coming, which is the great question in difference? |
A96610 | Or doe you thinke that Paul went about with Regall Mandates or Kingly Authoritie, to gather and establish the Church of Christ? |

A31961 | Consider how much hath been lost upon many a soul for want of care to take rooting, and to proceed? |
A31961 | Consider, the nature of true grace tends to this: will you cross the nature of it? |
A31961 | Did the people of Israel, as here in the Text, lose the Ark, because they abhorred the offering of God? |
A31961 | Did you ever buy this truth? |
A31961 | Did you not come to this Faith and Belief by common report? |
A31961 | Do but argue thus, You profess to be Believers; and is it not your duty to answer to this profession? |
A31961 | Do not the Books agree, the Book of thy Conscience, and the Book of my Omniscience? |
A31961 | Do we again begin to commend our selves, or need we, as some others, Epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? |
A31961 | Do we beg any more then thou hast promised? |
A31961 | Do we begin again to commend our selves? |

A31961 | Fear not, O Iac ● … b; why so? |
A31961 | First, In thy infirmities: Dost thou love holiness when it is compassed about with sorrows, and troubles, and persecutions? |
A31961 | First, The Depositum, or thing laid up, which is a Treasure; and what is this Treasure, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ? |
A31961 | First, What a confounding word is this to all the wicked, that go on desperately in sin, that add drunkenness to thirst? |
A31961 | For the very truth is, we are never able to make out a good Title to any Gospel- truth, untill such time as we can say we have bought it: How? |
A31961 | For then, First, What the better art thou for all his blood shed as yet, if thou wert this day to dye? |
A31961 | For this cause we do not cease to pray for you: What was the thing the Apostle in this his constant Prayer did begg of God for them? |
A31961 | Fourthly, is this pleasing of God a duty of so great importance and benefit? |
A31961 | God is the righteous mans portion; and can God give a greater gift to us, than to give Himself to us? |
A31961 | God will call forth sinners by Name, and say, Stand forth, Hear thy charge, Let me see what thou canst answer to it? |
A31961 | God will not be tyed to his own rule: and, Who knoweth but God will deliver us? |
A31961 | God''s Being? |
A31961 | Guilty or not guilty? |
A31961 | H ● … you not lost your first love? |
A31961 | Hast thou entertained Christ to be the Master of thy words, thoughts, and deeds, whose Government thou livest under, more than under any in the world? |
A31961 | Hast thou not received Christ? |
A31961 | Hast thou received Christ, as if thou hadst received Heaven in him? |
A31961 | Hath God committed any thing to you? |
A31961 | Heaven is not taken but by storm: do you no see men zealous and very active for the Devil, and for their Lusts? |
A31961 | Holiness is a beautiful and glorious thing; It is the Angels glory, and shall we be ashamed of that which makes us like the Angels? |
A31961 | How came you by this belief? |
A31961 | How can we bring them, and build them up, that will not suffer the Foundation to be laid, the seed to be received? |
A31961 | How canst thou look inward into thy defiled heart, and not tremble, when thou hast no more shelter from the wrath of God? |
A31961 | How doth that appear? |
A31961 | How easily, and how frequently do temptations prevail? |
A31961 | How is it that the righteous perish? |
A31961 | How is it written? |
A31961 | How is it, that we that profess to be the Sons and Daughters of God, are lean and lank, not more improved? |
A31961 | How little care, that our conversations should honour the Gospel? |
A31961 | How long in healing? |

A31961 | How many Idols and Idolaters are there? |
A31961 | How many among us profess with the highest, but have little ground for their faith? |
A31961 | How many are there that sin manfully? |
A31961 | How many of the greatest part of those that we call Christians, in the world, are put like Sampson to grinde among the Philistims? |
A31961 | How many sinners have you about you, and how do you wrong and rob the ungodly of that Ordinance God hath appointed for their conversion and salvation? |
A31961 | How many times hath the Preacher been gladded to see such a one come to him, seemingly with a broken heart, seeming to set himself in the way of life? |

A31961 | How often have we pluckt fruit from the forbidden tree? |
A31961 | How unlike are we at home, to what abroad? |
A31961 | How were you brought over to this Belief? |
A31961 | I but now, Why did the Father thus stand by Christ? |
A31961 | I chiefly aim at the Application: Doth sin bring Nations and Persons into external, internal, and eternal straits? |
A31961 | I have a Baptism to be baptized withall, and how am I straitned till it be accomplished? |
A31961 | I have bought the truth, that was my duty; and having bought it, I will never sell it, that is my duty too: Can we give such an account as this? |
A31961 | I opened the termes, What''s meant by faith? |
A31961 | I remember, what he speaks there concerning Amnon, How is it, that thou being the Kings Son, art lean from day to day? |
A31961 | I say buy it? |
A31961 | I, but what must we do that we may so repress it? |
A31961 | If I be a Father, where is my fear? |
A31961 | If I be a Master where is my Honour? |
A31961 | If I be a Saviour, where is your Confidence in me, Submission to my saving- work, Obedience to my healing Precepts? |
A31961 | If I be your Lord and Master, why do not you learn of me as your Master,& c? |
A31961 | If commanded of the Lord, why are you burdened with it? |
A31961 | If so be that it should be put to the Question; Friend, What is your Faith, what Belief are you of? |
A31961 | If the peoples growth in grace and knowledge be matter of joy to a faithful Pastour? |
A31961 | In one word, Earth, Heaven, and God and all shall be laid out to do them good; Is not this a great priviledge? |
A31961 | In the handling of this Question, How we are to judge and conceive of the holiness of places in the times of the Gospel? |
A31961 | Into what a strait did sin bring Sodom and Gomorrah? |
A31961 | Into what a strait did sin bring the old world? |
A31961 | Into what a strait did sin drive Spira? |
A31961 | Is it a Feaver? |
A31961 | Is it not a grief to a parent to see his child put out to a dry Nurse? |
A31961 | Is it not in this, that thou goest with us? |
A31961 | Is it the most important duty of all sincere professors, in the most shaking seasons, to stand stedfast in the Lord? |
A31961 | Is not destruction to the wicked a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? |
A31961 | Is not the communion of Saints an Article in our Creed? |
A31961 | Is the case changed? |
A31961 | Is this so, ought the Pastors so to love their people? |
A31961 | Is this the difference? |
A31961 | Israel desires Moses to speak to them( and not God) why? |
A31961 | It is a truth that Jesus is the Christ, how came it to be yours? |
A31961 | It might be said, What is this to us? |
A31961 | It reproves those that have reverence for scituation of these places, they must stand East and West, and why not North and South? |
A31961 | It was the plea of the Popish party in the Marion daies, What? |
A31961 | Know you not( saith the Apostle) that no unrighteous man shall inherit the Kingdome of God? |
A31961 | Lord why dost thou not lift off my sin? |
A31961 | Lord, is it the duty of people, of Saints, to stand, to be stedfast? |
A31961 | May not Christ say, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you known, liv''d,& c. no better? |
A31961 | Mercy to the poor, what''s that? |
A31961 | Must Pastors love their People? |
A31961 | Must men walk in Christ as they have received him? |
A31961 | Must the Pastor love his people? |
A31961 | Must the righteous be taken away? |
A31961 | My Text pronounceth a curse against the sinner, Vae improbo, Wo to the wicked: And can that man thrive that lives under a curse? |
A31961 | Nay consider in this time what advantage have you had for growth? |
A31961 | Nay, are you not a dishonour to the Church? |
A31961 | Now if their good works shine so before men, is it possible a gracious heart should see it and not be taken with it? |
A31961 | Now what is it to[ lay aside] or how can we lay aside, since sin sticks so close to us, and is engraven in our natures? |
A31961 | Now, can any of you in this Parish, and this Congregation; can any of you say, God may not justly take the Gospel from you? |
A31961 | O foolish Galathians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? |
A31961 | Observe ▪ Moses pleads with God, How his favour and love, and mercy, should be with them, unless he were present with them? |
A31961 | Oh what can a Believer do, or what can a Believer suffer when God leaves him? |
A31961 | Oh when shall we carry our selves so, as those that profess themselves to be seekers of a better life? |
A31961 | Oh ▪ how often have we taken thy name in vain, while we have been confessing our sins? |
A31961 | Once more; We must love them, and love them tenderly, Why, and yet leave them? |
A31961 | Others say ▪ What needs so much Preaching, will not once a day serve? |
A31961 | Possibly while they have been with you, you have kept the faith; but what will you do when they are gone? |
A31961 | Pray what are those? |
A31961 | Secondly, How canst thou look thy sins in the face, and think on what thou hast done and art? |
A31961 | Secondly, What must the Ministers do to keep the Ark from losing? |
A31961 | Secondly, Wherein must we stand steadfast? |
A31961 | Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? |
A31961 | Shall I say, gray hairs are upon the Gospel? |
A31961 | Shall not my soul be avenged on such a Nation as this? |
A31961 | Some do say Who will shew us any good? |
A31961 | Some indeed say, that we are disloyal and seditious? |
A31961 | Some men begin to say, What need we any Preaching, will not Prayers serve? |
A31961 | Sometimes of instruments; thus Esau complains of his brother; Is he not rightly called Iacob, a Supplanter? |
A31961 | Steven) And for those that desire the conversion of others, what course should be taken by them for that end? |
A31961 | Study to please God; Oh, is it not a sad thing for God to leave you? |
A31961 | Take heed of being venturous, and God tempting Christians: what''s that? |
A31961 | Tell me man, is thy Christ able to protect thee against all evil? |
A31961 | The Jewes come and tell Christ he was not a true Son of the Church of the Jewes, he was disobedient to the Church of the Jewes; why? |
A31961 | The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: ● … ow did he shew it? |
A31961 | The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,( they durst not speak publickly; but who was it against? |
A31961 | The doctrines you have heard, have they been from Heaven or from men? |
A31961 | The second branch of Information is this; Are true Gospel- Ministers so full of love? |
A31961 | The work of the ministry, it is a labour of love: Oh how sad is it to have such in the ministry, that can neither labour nor love? |
A31961 | Then do the Enemies of God Blaspheme, and are ready to say, Where is your God? |
A31961 | They honour me with their lips,& c. But though their principles, their heart is bad, their worship is good, is it not? |
A31961 | They wash not their hands when they eat bread: This was the great sin, and they charge it on him, eat with unwashen hands: why? |
A31961 | Think what will be most dreadful to a dying man? |
A31961 | Thirdly, How canst thou look God in the face, who is a hater of sin? |
A31961 | Thirdly, What must the people of God do, that the Ark may not be lost? |
A31961 | This was a very sad time with the Church of God in Ierusalem; if the Judge be taken away, where will there be any Equity? |

A27035 | Doth any of us deny that the Bishops were the Ordainers of Bishops? |
A27035 | Doth he agree with us in all the Substantials of Religion who knoweth not the very essentials of Christianity? |
A27035 | Doth he agree with us in all the substantials that is a Heretick? |
A27035 | Doth he any where tell us, in what cases and how far they must judge? |
A27035 | Doth he believe that he meant that all or the twentieth part of the Nonconformists wrote or subscribed it? |
A27035 | Doth he believe that the Kingdoms of the World are not visible parts of God''s Universal Kingdom? |
A27035 | Doth he doubt of this? |
A27035 | Doth he himself take any one of these for a true political Church? |
A27035 | Doth he not confess that I own general Visitors or Archbishops and appeals? |
A27035 | Doth he not perceive that he turneth the Controversie, from the necessity of a Regent head, to the necessity of his visibility? |
A27035 | Doth he think that the Catholick Church consenteth not to one Governing Head, Christ? |
A27035 | Doth he think that the Presbyters choice excludeth the Peoples when it is a known thing that the Canons and Custom constantly conjoyned them? |
A27035 | Doth he think the Papists take the Conformists or the Nonconformists to be nearer to them and less against them? |
A27035 | Doth it die and live again as oft as Parliaments change it? |
A27035 | Doth none of all this difference their case and ours? |
A27035 | Doth not Doctor Stillingfleet heavily reproach his own Church for such usuage of them? |
A27035 | Doth not a stock of knowledge enable you to Preach without book? |
A27035 | Doth not all this shew their mind? |
A27035 | Doth not he pretend also in his way to declare the terms of Concord? |
A27035 | Doth not the Doctor unhappily chuse his testimonies? |
A27035 | Doth not this instance prove, that the Bishop had not power to chuse one of himself? |
A27035 | Doth not this prove that their choice or consent was necessary? |
A27035 | Doth not this shew that the people were the chusers? |
A27035 | Doth such a wicked sentence bind men to live like Atheists till death? |
A27035 | Doth the Dr. believe indeed that these writings signifie that the Nonconformsts of those times thought it a sin to Preach eo nomine because forbidden? |
A27035 | Doth this Political description of Parochial, Diocesane, Provincial, Patriarchal Churches, also bring in Popery? |
A27035 | Doth this doctrine justifie the Papists? |
A27035 | Doth your Church require this ad esse, or but ad melius esse? |
A27035 | Et propter hoc interrogat accedentes ad baptismum an credant? |
A27035 | Fixed Government to a fixed Church, and transient temporary Government to an answerable Church? |
A27035 | For what concord hath Christ and Belial? |
A27035 | Had he meant as aforesaid, had my words been Rage, or necessary confutation? |
A27035 | Had it not been better to have past over this Council? |
A27035 | Had it not been requisite that you should have justified all that we stick at as unlawful, before you charge us with crossing this Rule? |
A27035 | Had the neighbour Heathens and Hereticks of old power to chuse Bishops for the Church, while they refused to be of the Church themselves? |
A27035 | Hath he named any? |
A27035 | Have none of these, have not each of these a Regent Constitutive part? |
A27035 | Have such representatives more power to express our consent than we our selves? |
A27035 | He before saith,[ Was the Cross a dedicating sign to God, or a declarative sign to men?] |
A27035 | He instanceth in mens censure of me for the Doctrine of Justification and asketh, Are men bound to separate from me? |
A27035 | He is again at his talk of only occasional Communion? |
A27035 | He motioned a Bishop to end the difference; And who opposeth that? |
A27035 | He saith, Is our worship directed to it or may we kneel before it, as Mr. B. allows men may do before a Crucifix? |
A27035 | He yet more pleads as for Separation[ why then above once or twice? |
A27035 | How can men Govern that are no Governours? |
A27035 | How come Dissenters bound by Parliament consent? |
A27035 | How do you know that the Dr. repented not of his too hard words of you till his death- bed? |
A27035 | How doth he prove it? |
A27035 | How easily might he have known that we would deny the consequence? |
A27035 | How much more say these than my[ intolerable indiscretion?] |
A27035 | How much of this goeth to make a Separatist? |
A27035 | How prove you that the Clergy represent the Laity in the Convocation? |
A27035 | How shall one get all the world to be wise and good? |
A27035 | How shall one know among all these, who are, or are not of your Church? |
A27035 | How shall one know how far consent is necessary to a Member, and dissent unchurcheth him? |
A27035 | How shall we know whether we keep them or not, or will you take upon you the guilt of our sins in disobeying his will? |
A27035 | How unhappily are the Church- Defenders and Conformists disagreed? |
A27035 | How was it known in the beginning of Queen Elizabeths days, when the Papists came to Church? |
A27035 | How was the Church of England known from Papists, in the beginning of H. 8. or in the middle, or in the end? |
A27035 | I again say that either the Reader hath read the Church History and Canons, or not? |
A27035 | I am glad you are not for separating for want of Episcopacy or Episcopal Ordination? |
A27035 | I have fully told him how in a whole Book of concord, And hath their way caused greater peace and order? |
A27035 | I never met with man that pretendeth to know them, and therefore never met with man that can thus tell, whether he be of the Church of England or not? |
A27035 | I pray you tell us, from whom our Arch- bishops receive their power? |
A27035 | I regarded not the censures of any that go too far, so as to keep me from doing what I judged lawful: And did it tend to peace? |
A27035 | I see none of those, I come in divers where many can not hear the Preacher; and would you have more? |
A27035 | I therefore answer his question further, what Church I was a Member of? |
A27035 | I thought no man but Mr. Cheny and some odd Papists had been of this Opinion? |
A27035 | I was a Member of Christs Universal Church? |
A27035 | If Church worship be needless, why is a Clergy to be so honoured, and maintained at so dear a rate? |
A27035 | If I name one Obligation to Communion with you, is it a learned Note to gather that I deny all other? |
A27035 | If every Law of Order be essential to your Church, few Conformists are of it: If only the true essentials, why are not we also of it? |
A27035 | If false, O what a sort of men were these Prelates that so stigmatized and accused and so used so many hundred such men, on so false a charge? |
A27035 | If it be All Infants, then how come the Heathens Infants to be baptizable and have right, when the Parents have none? |
A27035 | If it be the later, is it one in specie or in individu ● politico? |
A27035 | If it deserve such a Character to censure Arminians as dangerously erroneous and befriending Popery? |
A27035 | If it never was in their minds to trust them as Consenters for them? |
A27035 | If none, why are we not confuted? |
A27035 | If not so, How to know that our silencing Laws and Bishops must be obeyed, and not theirs? |
A27035 | If not, how can he tell who to believe that report them? |
A27035 | If not, is it not a contradiction to call it a governed Church? |
A27035 | If not, what a divided party are the Conformists, while so many use it and pray spiritually? |
A27035 | If not, what makes them and not me to be of that Church? |
A27035 | If sin, who should be most offended? |
A27035 | If the Gospel be needless, why do we wish the Heathens had it? |
A27035 | If the Peoples consent can make a National Church, why may it not make an Independant or Presbyterian Church? |
A27035 | If the corruption of one have been the generation of another, how many Churches of England have you had? |
A27035 | If the first, all Canon- breakers are dismembred? |
A27035 | If the former, is it all false Doctrine or but some, and what? |
A27035 | If the later, why am not I of your Church? |
A27035 | If they be and do in good earnest desire to know how to please God and serve him, what directions will they give him? |
A27035 | If they have him, why can not they speak their own hearts in other words than yours? |
A27035 | If true, how untrue are Doctor Stillingfleet''s? |
A27035 | If we should renounce our Christianity for them, we are never the nearer: for we are still Men and therefore loth to be destroyed in Hell? |
A27035 | If when the blind lead the blind both fall into the ditch, must we not note the difference? |
A27035 | If yea then is he a Pastor that wants what is essential to a Pastor? |
A27035 | If yea, is it nothing to him to seem thus seriously to plead against his conscience? |
A27035 | If you are, did the Jesuits teach it you? |
A27035 | If you can not see your own face, let any impartial Reader be your glass, and ask him whether you do not that which you are condemning? |
A27035 | If you know the Teachers heart, how know you the Peoples? |
A27035 | If you meant only Civil? |
A27035 | If you say from the Bishops, and so Inferiours or Equals may give power, why may not Presbyters make Presbyters or Bishops, and generare speciem? |
A27035 | Is Baptism and the Lords Supper a sign to God, or to man? |
A27035 | Is a Layman a true Pastor that is not truly called to it? |
A27035 | Is forming new Churches and not communicating with the old ones all one? |
A27035 | Is he a zealous Enemy of Schisin that taketh all this for none? |
A27035 | Is he not unreverend to their Canons? |
A27035 | Is his Rule true only in England, or in France, Spain, Italy, Muscovy,& c. also, or where, that the Law maketh men true Pastors? |
A27035 | Is it any easier to do evil In obedience to a Patriarch than a Pope? |
A27035 | Is it necessary then that the Universal Head must be visible if the subordinate be so? |
A27035 | Is it no older than the Liturgy or Canons? |
A27035 | Is it not enough to turn us all out of the publick Ministry? |
A27035 | Is it not lawful for peace to forbear forcing men to disoblige 1000? |
A27035 | Is it our Salvation that we must sacrifice to Priests, Prelates or Princes wills? |
A27035 | Is it such men that thus make you agents for a Pope? |
A27035 | Is it unlawful to Christen such as scruple your use of the Cross? |
A27035 | Is malignant opposing Godliness and pleading for prophaneness or ungodliness an agreement in all the Substantials? |
A27035 | Is not Government essential to a Governed Church? |
A27035 | Is not this a strong proof that the people had no such agreeing or chusing power, because the Metropolitan and Synod also had their vote? |
A27035 | Is not this in the School of Christ, and in the method of the Gospel a plain disorder? |
A27035 | Is not this plainly to chuse damnation? |
A27035 | Is not this the Pharises vae? |
A27035 | Is not this to prefer Mint and Annis to faith aud judgment and mercy? |
A27035 | Is not this to wa ● ● the outside of the Cup, and leave the inner part uncleansed? |
A27035 | Is that none? |
A27035 | Is there no dependancy in any of these, or all? |
A27035 | Is this called the Church diffusive one Governed body Politick? |
A27035 | Is this edifying? |
A27035 | Is this hard to be understood? |
A27035 | Is this just dealing, And doth it not confute himself? |
A27035 | Is this only occasional joyning? |
A27035 | Is this our Champion against Popery now? |
A27035 | Is this our satisfaction? |
A27035 | Is this the same that the old Separatists did? |
A27035 | Is this true? |
A27035 | Is your Governed Church as such only Civil, or a Kingdom only? |
A27035 | It is called Praefatio I. F. And can every Reader know that I. F. meaneth not John Fox? |
A27035 | It is therefore the later that is all my Question, which is the Church- Head? |
A27035 | It would be an odd argument to prove, that a woman had no power of choice in Marriage, because one was put to perswade her to consent? |
A27035 | It''s not so old as Luther? |
A27035 | Judge absolutely who shall be a Minister of Christ? |
A27035 | Mans tradition before the ordinance of God? |
A27035 | Many Nations may agree in the same Rules of Religion, yea, so all Christians do: Doth this constitute National Churches? |
A27035 | May not the Nation withdraw such consent? |
A27035 | Must all the people trust only such Pastors as the Prince or Patrons choose all over England? |
A27035 | Must not I tell them that urge me, what sin I fear, least they say you represent us as such? |
A27035 | Must not the people on that account disown them, by his way? |
A27035 | Must they not judge when Forreigners heretofore were set over them, whether they speak English or no? |
A27035 | Must we all be of the Kings or Patrons Religion? |
A27035 | Must we believe that we agree, because you say so? |
A27035 | Must we neither be silent nor speak? |
A27035 | My Parlour hath on all four sides the pictures of our living friends: must I not pray in that room because my face will be still towards some of them? |
A27035 | National body, and never distinguish any necessary parts of Faith, Government and Worship, from the rest, nor tell us how to know them? |
A27035 | Next he answereth the Question, How all the Congregations in England make up this one Church?] |
A27035 | Next p. 267. he comes to the point in question, whether they have the Pastoral Power of the Keys over their own Flocks? |
A27035 | Now shall we fight for the Popes coat, his head and body being banished? |
A27035 | Now the Question is, Of which sort is the National Church of England? |
A27035 | O how great a difference have I found, from my youth to this day? |
A27035 | Or constantly when no better can be had without greater hurt than benefit? |
A27035 | Or doth he mean, This Diocesan Church? |
A27035 | Or if he be a profest Infidel, Can he be a Christian Pastor? |
A27035 | Or is not his citing one half of the words as he doth, to deceive his credulous Reader, if not worse? |
A27035 | Or my Church- Covenant? |
A27035 | Or my actual Communion? |
A27035 | Or one Government of all the National Church? |
A27035 | Or really whether any reject not some one forme, word or office? |
A27035 | Or such as it is unlawful to communicate with occasionally? |
A27035 | Or to receive those to Communion that scruple your Gesture? |
A27035 | Or whether the Act of seeing be from the sun or the eye? |
A27035 | Or why do you so reproach your Church and Ministry? |
A27035 | Or would not such Princes chuse such Bishops? |
A27035 | Ordinary Tradition saith it was Fox''s: And what should I sooner believe in such a case? |
A27035 | Personal Faults I distinguished from Ministerial and tolerable Ministerial from intolerable, then and now: and is this Contradiction? |
A27035 | Question, How comes it to be One National Church? |
A27035 | Quid est Altare nisi sedes& corporis& sanguimis Christi? |
A27035 | Read Mr. Dodwell and many such others that take the Church to be a Governed body Politick and see what they will judg of you? |
A27035 | Reader, are we not in a hard strait between Wickliffe and Dr. Stillingflect? |
A27035 | Reader, is not this true? |
A27035 | Readers, do you remember how even now he exposed to odium, the peoples judging whether the Pastors be Hereticks? |
A27035 | See Reader, whether any of this be true? |
A27035 | See how well the defenders of Prelacy agree? |
A27035 | Shall I abuse time to confute gross Contradictions? |
A27035 | Shall he that will not be of the Society chuse for the Society? |
A27035 | Should Glocesier take Goodman a Papist for their Bishop because the King chose him? |
A27035 | That I own Associations which he makes the state of the Church of England? |
A27035 | That I own Synods for obliging concord? |
A27035 | That I own the Magistrates Government of all? |
A27035 | That it is not lawful for you to joyn with us? |
A27035 | That the Emperour deposed him not, but by a pack ● Council of Bishops( which we know had a deposing power?) |
A27035 | That''s right: But what Government is it, Civil, or Ecclesiastical? |
A27035 | The Independants much insist on this? |
A27035 | The Laodicean Canon cited by him speaketh for me as the rest:( Did he think I wanted his help to cite more for my self?) |
A27035 | The Parish Churches be no true Churches? |
A27035 | The question is not whether more Churches are desirable? |
A27035 | The question is still unanswered, What is the One common Governing power in the Church which this Parliament consent hath ● ● t up? |
A27035 | The question is, whether that man will Communicate with the Church on Christs terms? |
A27035 | The terms are sar harder to Ministers? |
A27035 | The whole Nation did not consent by Parliament when the Lords and Commons voted down the Bishops and Liturgy: was there then no National Church? |
A27035 | Then all the question is, what''s lawful on both sides? |
A27035 | Then how great a deed of charity is it to bring an Army among them to baptize their Children by force? |
A27035 | These be but circumstances: What if the Plague drive away the Parish Ministers? |
A27035 | This Collection I feared; But how could I avoid it? |
A27035 | This mans acts were no nullities to us that knew it not: but when we knew of such must we take them for true Pastors, and it for a true Church? |
A27035 | This was before said[ that the people might give them power? |
A27035 | Was an Arians Tyranny, a note of right? |
A27035 | Was it not the material place of Communicn? |
A27035 | Was it voluntarily which they were adjudged to do? |
A27035 | Was your Churches Rule then made? |
A27035 | What Husband the Wife? |
A27035 | What Landlord may not the Tenants deny? |
A27035 | What Master the Servants? |
A27035 | What Parliament first made it? |
A27035 | What Physician may they not vilisie? |
A27035 | What a great Impertinency had this been,& c? |
A27035 | What are the parts of their worship which he saith I joyn not in? |
A27035 | What did he? |
A27035 | What hope then of being understood? |
A27035 | What if I had said so by you? |
A27035 | What if I remove for my Edification from a drunkess ignorant Priest, to the Church of a wise and holy Pastor? |
A27035 | What if it be in an unknown Tongue? |
A27035 | What if it were not Immediate? |
A27035 | What if the Church be but schismatical? |
A27035 | What if the Church have no true Minister? |
A27035 | What if the Church want half the Church- Worship? |
A27035 | What if the Law should change, and allow of various Churches? |
A27035 | What if the Worship be not Idolatrous, but Blasphemous, or utterly Ridiculous, tending to contempt of God? |
A27035 | What if they impose any one sin on me without which they will not receive me to Communion? |
A27035 | What if they put down all preaching save reading some dry Homilies, and all Discipline, is it not lawful elsewhere to serve God better? |
A27035 | What if we agree in all Substantials with an unordained Layman imposed on us? |
A27035 | What in the world is more abused than Reason and Freewill? |
A27035 | What is the Medium? |
A27035 | What is the Pastoral specifying form of the Church of England? |
A27035 | What is the constancy that this Dr. maketh necessary to a member? |
A27035 | What is this against the peoples right? |
A27035 | What made you before talk of being under one Government? |
A27035 | What meant all the ancient Churches to forbid Communion with Hereticks? |
A27035 | What meant all those Fathers and Councils, that make him no Bishop that cometh not in with the peoples consent? |
A27035 | What more natural than to propagate what men like, and oppose what they hate? |
A27035 | What my Thoughts were? |
A27035 | What shall one think could bring such a man to such a word? |
A27035 | What the National Church of England is? |
A27035 | What then would he be at? |
A27035 | What was the Souldiers Sacramentum Militare more, from which the Church seems to have borrowed the name? |
A27035 | What''s that to the general rule here asserted? |
A27035 | What''s this to our question? |
A27035 | What? |
A27035 | When men differ in no part of Religion, they will not separate unless merely locally: Are all the things named in my first Plea, no parts of Religion? |
A27035 | When prove you that I am only for occasional Communion when I have so long practised constant Communion with you? |
A27035 | Where Usurpers deny the King''s Right, ought not the people to judge him to have right, because they may err? |
A27035 | Whether all men that are more seriously religious must be forsaken by us, and ruined by them, if they be not of their mind and form? |
A27035 | Whether an ordained Minister must be a private Member of another mans Church? |
A27035 | Whether any man have authority to suspend this Law or Office? |
A27035 | Whether he acquainted them with the Kings Licences, and our being accused of Schism, even when Licensed? |
A27035 | Whether he acquainted them with what we have said for ourselves lately in divers Books; or they judg''d us unheard? |
A27035 | Whether he be no Christian that is not a fixed Member of a particular Church? |
A27035 | Whether he be no Christian, that is not a fixed Member of a particular Church? |
A27035 | Whether he made them truly understand the difference between the ancient Episcopacy, and the English Diocesan frame in all its parts? |
A27035 | Whether he made them understand that it was about 2000 Ministers that were silenced, and what men are in many of their places? |
A27035 | Whether he made them understand that we are ipso facto excommuncate by their Canon for telling our judgment? |
A27035 | Whether he made them understand what measure of Communion we still maintain with the Church of England and the Parish Churches? |
A27035 | Whether he put the case as of denying active Communion in the practice of unlawful things; or as denying Communion in the rest which are lawful? |
A27035 | Whether he put the case to them, whether we that have Communion with them are Schismaticks, if we also have Communion with others whom they prosecute? |
A27035 | Whether he put the question to them, whether we are lawfully silenced? |
A27035 | Whether he that sought their judgment did make them understand what all our present Impositions and Acts of Conformity are? |
A27035 | Whether is the worse and more dangerous condition, to fall under the reproach of Schism, or to fall into Schism it self? |
A27035 | Whether it be a duty to gather Churches or Preach publickly when it is like to do more hurt than good, by the Magistrates opposition? |
A27035 | Whether the Excommunicating Church, or the Excommunicated for not Communicating when Excommunicated be guilty of Schism? |
A27035 | Whether they be singular? |
A27035 | Whether,[ How comes it?] |
A27035 | Which did Paul mean? |
A27035 | Which mean you by[ his] when they were two? |
A27035 | Who but Physicians are fit to judge who is meet to be a Licensed Physician? |
A27035 | Who doubteth that the People being not the sole judges, if they took in an un- Ordained or un- approved man without the Synods consent, it was void? |
A27035 | Who would strive against so friendly a disputer, that goeth on to say the same as I? |
A27035 | Why doth he accuse us for that which he dare not contradict? |
A27035 | Why doth he silently balk the chief things which I had named? |
A27035 | Why subscribe you against mens hopes of being saved in all their several Religions? |
A27035 | Why then did you before put( agreement in Doctrine) among the requisites to our Accusation? |
A27035 | Why then doth he himself elsewhere argue that there were Bishops then, because these Cities were Metropoles? |
A27035 | Why then must not all Hereticks, Papists,& c. be received, why then are all your volumnious Accusations produced to prove us justly silenced? |
A27035 | Why will he not be intreated to tell us in what Countries, or with what Limitations the contrary Doctrine must be received? |
A27035 | Why, first is there a word of this that a sober Christian dare deny? |
A27035 | Will freedom from Spiritual ▪ prayer honour your Church? |
A27035 | Will he conclude that when ever History nameth not the Peoples choice, they are left out? |
A27035 | Will he perswade us when the People are not the chusers, that they are not necessarily the consenters or refusers? |
A27035 | Will he turn Papist if this be proved, and the Christian World be not deceived? |
A27035 | Will this warrant a separation? |
A27035 | Would it be any wonder if Bishop Goodman of Glocester kept not out any Popish Teacher? |
A27035 | Would you have an undeniable Confutation, ad hominem, in few words? |
A27035 | Yes, for deserting them both? |
A27035 | You are mistaken? |
A27035 | You are too unmerciful to your self; but what kind of Churches should there be upon your terms? |
A27035 | [ Main] signifieth not[ Only:] who doubts but the People were to discern the Lives of chosen persons? |
A27035 | [ Were we not Baptized into this Church, and do you not Renounce Membership? |
A27035 | and Mr. Dodwels to prove us no Ministers of Christ, if we want nothing but a human power to impose us on the Churches, and a Patron to present us? |
A27035 | and even some Popes and Councils to hear Mass of Fornicators? |
A27035 | and how can we obey them? |
A27035 | and how prove they their claim? |
A27035 | and if not, whether rebus sic stantibus we are bound to forbear our Ministry? |
A27035 | and should we Covenant never to endeavour an Alteration? |
A27035 | and that their whole power of the Keys which they talk so much for, seems to themselves a dead and uneffectual thing? |
A27035 | and to antiquity? |
A27035 | and to the universal Church itself? |
A27035 | and what Prince or Prelate may not the people judge Usurpers? |
A27035 | and what alterations are made in the Church of England since the beginning of Bishop Lands power? |
A27035 | and what claim their ancient Flocks lay to many of them; and what men they are, and what they did to prevent all our divisions? |
A27035 | and why all their Churches ceased not when prohibited? |
A27035 | and why did I constantly twice a day lead them thither, though some disliked it? |
A27035 | and yet God invisible? |
A27035 | and yet are not they visible? |
A27035 | and yet is in the Creed? |
A27035 | as Seneca thought Cato''s name would do more to honour Drunkenness, than Drunkenness could do to dishonour Cato? |
A27035 | as to have Preaching and Prayer without Sacraments? |
A27035 | but must take him for their Pastor be he what he will? |
A27035 | but whether it must be visible? |
A27035 | hath not this preposterous order a woe? |
A27035 | how far is this from truth? |
A27035 | is he therefore our true Pastor? |
A27035 | must the King bear all the blame, if mens Souls be not provided for,& c? |
A27035 | must we agree and not judge whether we agree or not? |
A27035 | nor that can tell of others, and who is not? |
A27035 | or also in Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, among Lutherans, Calvinists, Greeks,& c. supposing the Law be on that side? |
A27035 | or can that be a true Pastoral Church that hath no Pastor? |
A27035 | or deprive them of their right to all God''s Ordinances? |
A27035 | or doth his bare repeating it disprove it? |
A27035 | or how known when it began? |
A27035 | or if a Socinian deny Christs Godhead or the i m ▪ mortality of the Soul, whether he be Competent or not? |
A27035 | or if we falsly judge his opinion Heresie, do we agree with him? |
A27035 | or invited yet to give our proofs? |
A27035 | or is Representing no Representing? |
A27035 | or is he none of the Church? |
A27035 | or is he therefore not obliged by it? |
A27035 | or is this the kind of Conformity that he would teach us, by denying what we subscribe to? |
A27035 | or now as to Church- Papists? |
A27035 | or only of living in Communion with them which do such things? |
A27035 | or shall we believe the Doctor against the Church? |
A27035 | or that my refusing a Physician is any wrong to his Licensers or him? |
A27035 | or that the Christian World doth not commonly consent to? |
A27035 | or that we may kneel before a Crucifix;) when I had before excepted the Images of God, Christ,& c. in worship, on several reasons? |
A27035 | or whether his character of me agree with his motion to silence and ruine all such? |
A27035 | or will you go on to follow them? |
A27035 | shall brethren persecute brethren for a forked Cap, devised singularity of him that is our enemy? |
A27035 | shall the Prince or Patron? |
A27035 | shall the controversie so fall out in conclusion ▪ that for lack of necessary furniture( as it is esteemed) labourers shall lack wages? |
A27035 | shall we not teach? |
A27035 | the Doctor or me? |
A27035 | what dependancy more doth he assert? |
A27035 | what hope of Justice from such Judges? |
A27035 | what if the Churches be burnt and the people forsaken? |
A27035 | what if the King license them? |
A27035 | what need Basil perswade them to accept him, when they had no power to refuse? |
A27035 | whether you do not consequently so stigmatize the old Church of England, before Bishop Laud''s time? |
A27035 | which Church do you mean? |
A27035 | which is only levelled against Princes and Lay Patrons Impositions, and deposeth the English Clergy and Church? |
A27035 | who shall judge whether the Pastors or People agree? |
A27035 | whom they never knew, from being obliged by an Oath and Vow to that part of the matter which is good? |
A27035 | why do you trust known Adversaries and mistrust your Brethren? |
A27035 | why doth he barely say and not prove, that it''s but a pretence? |
A27035 | why then did I use no publick preaching, while I lived in such Villages where the people might go to Church? |
A27035 | why then do they argue as Mr. Dodwell? |
A27035 | will excusing some things make others lawful? |
A27035 | will this satisfie Conscience? |
A27035 | would you be so disowned for your own faults? |
A27035 | would you have a Synod called to reprove every rash word? |
A27035 | yea and declare their own dissent, as most of the Nation did lately against Prelacy and Liturgy, yea and their chosen representatives? |
A27035 | — Is here no more than judging their lives? |
A27035 | 〈 … 〉 forbear Canonical Excommunicating all professed Nonconformi ● … Land? |
A26865 | ( And is it a sign of covetousness, to dye for what they hold?) |
A26865 | 20. even when Rulers were against it? |
A26865 | 3. Who knoweth not that such accusing inferences are usually brought by all factious, quarrel some Divines against their adversaries? |
A26865 | 3. where mutual forbearances, and Receiving dissenters is commanded, against both Censurers and Despisers? |
A26865 | 4. Who are those dozen men? |
A26865 | A rare example; that a man should be known standing at a bar, shackled in bolts( but quaere quo jure?) |
A26865 | Again I ask, Is there any Oath that you dare not take? |
A26865 | And Conscience discerning duty to God, is it that is here to be orderly distinguished from Conscience discerning duty to man? |
A26865 | And are all these Writings no evidence of their judgments? |
A26865 | And are we like to win Souls on such terms as these? |
A26865 | And are you sure you can go along with them in all as far as they will go? |
A26865 | And being asked what God the Son was? |
A26865 | And being asked what the Holy Ghost was? |
A26865 | And can we speak louder than by the Press? |
A26865 | And did not almost all the people of the Land Conform before the Wars? |
A26865 | And did not the Papists so by the Reformers? |
A26865 | And did we ever dream that no Sectary is moved by Pride to Nonconformity? |
A26865 | And did you ever consider what a work it is to bring many thousands or hundreds of those in a Parish, unto solid understanding? |
A26865 | And do you never give God thanks for his grace of Sanctification your selves? |
A26865 | And do you not know what they will say and think of you upon such observations? |
A26865 | And do you think it desirable to comply and embody with them in such a schism and factious combination against all the rest of the Churches of God? |
A26865 | And doth he think that we get more now than a Bishoprick or Deanery would have amounted to? |
A26865 | And doth not the prosecution of the Nonconformists tell it us? |
A26865 | And doubtless some one must first Elect him to be a Bishop indeterminately? |
A26865 | And either the unjust silencing of Ministers by the Usurpers, was well done, or ill done? |
A26865 | And even in Doctrinals( which are more than Ceremonies) you know what a notorious difference there is among your selves? |
A26865 | And from whom else would you save the people? |
A26865 | And had it been otherwise, what were our thoughts to 2000 men that were absent? |
A26865 | And have the people no sense, nor acquaintance with the persons? |
A26865 | And here also I ask, Would you do so your selves? |
A26865 | And how do these charges of a loose doctrine and great seeming sanctity, well agree? |
A26865 | And how do your scruples engage you thus to break the Laws? |
A26865 | And how have you cured all that ignorance of the people which you lament? |
A26865 | And how knoweth he that it is but a shew? |
A26865 | And how knoweth he that knoweth not hearts, that this is but seeming? |
A26865 | And how shall we hear without a Preacher? |
A26865 | And how shew we that we are Wolves? |
A26865 | And how will these things appear in the review, when you shall stand in that more clear convincing light? |
A26865 | And if all this be so, what is here left for Pride to work upon? |
A26865 | And if deliberately you will venture on such a cause your selves, what would you wish the silenced Ministers to do? |
A26865 | And if he may judg that there shall be no preaching, then why not that there shall be no praying and worshipping God? |
A26865 | And if so in London, why not in other places? |
A26865 | And in good sadness, doth not England know that( call them what you will) the Divines commissioned by the King did give their reasons against more? |
A26865 | And indeed is not your Religion the same with ours? |
A26865 | And indeed, is it because the Articles are not intelligible? |
A26865 | And is it indeed to preserve your honour, that we must undergo all these convulsions? |
A26865 | And is it not fine reasoning to say, If a man must be the discerner of his duty to God and the King, he can be no good subject? |
A26865 | And is it not smattering ignorant half- wited Christians which your selves much complain of, and which make most of the trouble in the world? |
A26865 | And is not all this yet enough? |
A26865 | And is not both better than one? |
A26865 | And is this casting them out of the Church? |
A26865 | And is this kind of scandal, think you, which consisteth in tempting, ensnaring and damning men, regardable or not? |
A26865 | And is this the happiest Unity that you might attain? |
A26865 | And is this true? |
A26865 | And it being no part of the old Conformity, how could this be put into their heads by me? |
A26865 | And it is meet that the Colledg that can best judg, be the discerners who shall be a Licensed Physician? |
A26865 | And might not you be as largely characterized as a stubborn unquiet people, as we are by you now? |
A26865 | And must not our light so shine before men( though not for their applause), that they may see our good works, and glorifie God? |
A26865 | And must such abundance be silenced for the opinions of a few, whom they never signified any consent to? |
A26865 | And now, Reader, what a shake doth this instance give to the credit of History, at least such as is written by interessed factious men? |
A26865 | And seeing we are accounted the Pharisees, Come on, and let us recite the Pharisees Character, and see who is likest him? |
A26865 | And shall we incur all this guilt by ceasing for nothing, yea even now while we are licensed by the King? |
A26865 | And shall we then be guilty of suppressing it at home? |
A26865 | And then what Councellors, Judges and Justices shall he have? |
A26865 | And then, what if three Bishops Consecrate one, and three another, and three another, over one Diocess? |
A26865 | And we will not desire you to execute the Laws as seldom on us, as they are executed on them; which is not, I think, for one Oath of Twenty thousand? |
A26865 | And were it not as easie then to declaim against your Disobedience and Nonconformity, as it is now for you to do it against ours? |
A26865 | And what doeth renouncing the Covenant concern the people,& c? |
A26865 | And what get we by so doing? |
A26865 | And what if a child be uncrossed, when the Parents so desire it, or done by another when they desire it? |
A26865 | And what if such principles and practices would make us guilty of the Perjury and impenitence of many hundred thousand persons? |
A26865 | And what is it that those do who subscribe the same doctrine with you, to make other men heterodox? |
A26865 | And what is one Minister in a Parish for the doing of all this work? |
A26865 | And what is the credit for which their pride doth seduce them? |
A26865 | And what is the matter of the Debaters Dialogues to any of this? |
A26865 | And what is this to the case of the many hundred Nonconformable Ministers in England? |
A26865 | And what now is the hurt that these Scripture primitive terms would bring? |
A26865 | And what reason have we to maintain and breed up men to use us as he hath done in his late Treatise? |
A26865 | And what stricter Laws would you have both for banishment and death, than is made here against the Romish Priests? |
A26865 | And what will this come to at last? |
A26865 | And what worse do the Separatists do by you, as to communion? |
A26865 | And when he was asked what he thought would become of his soul? |
A26865 | And which side hath the most serious, religious sort of persons? |
A26865 | And who shall compensate the Kings damage? |
A26865 | And why doth he now suffer so much obloquy and displeasure from the separating part of the Nonconformists, if it be reputation that he stuck upon? |
A26865 | And why doth not a far stronger worldly interest more prevail with us? |
A26865 | And why might not Crossing be under the like liberty? |
A26865 | And why might they not now have more if they could conform? |
A26865 | And why should any men use a means that will subvert, and will never attain his ends? |
A26865 | And why then should not their Assemblies take the fittest time of the day as well as yours? |
A26865 | And why? |
A26865 | And will not the long experience of so great a Church, do something to convince you of your mistake? |
A26865 | And will you prove wiser and better than the Apostles at the last? |
A26865 | Are 1800 or 2000 men accusable upon the account of four mens secret thoughts? |
A26865 | Are Presbyterians so intollerable a sort of people? |
A26865 | Are all men so proud and void of humanity and love, that they must needs be factious if they do but differ in an opinion or ceremony from others? |
A26865 | Are not the Laws in Power, and Judges to execute them against any that shall speak or do disloyally? |
A26865 | Are not you and we agreed that God is the chief Ruler, and to be first obeyed, and no man against him, but only under him? |
A26865 | Are such mouths fit to call others Fire- brands? |
A26865 | Are the Conformists more Godly or Holy, than all the ignorant, drunken, unchast, voluptuous, carnal rabble, or are they not? |
A26865 | Are the bishops absolute Judges, or not? |
A26865 | Are the two or three that you named, the major part of Eighteen hundred? |
A26865 | Are they all the Bishops of that Diocess? |
A26865 | Are they any Bishops whatever, or some in special above the rest? |
A26865 | Are they hot to one, and cold to another? |
A26865 | Are they like to be better that shew no zeal? |
A26865 | Are they not men of strange facinating power, that could make 1800 such Ministers( distant in all Counties) to deny Conformity? |
A26865 | Are they therefore wholly disobliged as to each other? |
A26865 | Are those that suffer, and do so much for that which they think to be the truth of Christ, well charged with hating Christ? |
A26865 | Are we grown better and wiser now than the Churches all were for 600 years? |
A26865 | Are we worse than petty thieves? |
A26865 | Are you humble men, and teachers of humility? |
A26865 | Are you penitent men, and Preachers of Repentance? |
A26865 | Are you willing to run all that danger for us? |
A26865 | Articles and the Book of Homilies? |
A26865 | As I said already, who would have thought that enow should have escaped Queen Maries Bonefires to have planted a Protestant Church so soon? |
A26865 | Ay, but what then must we hear and bear from such as you, when we wonder that any of you can doubt of the unlawfulness of what we refuse? |
A26865 | B. Lauds life, and you would make it impossible? |
A26865 | But 1. did he not know our advantage in Learning then was a great cause of the success of the Reformation in Luthers days? |
A26865 | But I pray you forget not( for here it concerneth you esse memores) what a few contemptible people you think it is whose applause doth byas us? |
A26865 | But are you sure that you mistake not, to the injury of the sufferers? |
A26865 | But by what Act is this application? |
A26865 | But how notoriously do bad means overthrow the ends of them that use them? |
A26865 | But if you do, then there remaineth no more controversie, whether our Ministerial helps be needful? |
A26865 | But if you do, why is there not need of the help of such as have more skill for such a work? |
A26865 | But is it so in London now? |
A26865 | But is this also the case of those that succeeded them? |
A26865 | But it may be you will say, that the Nonconformists must be judged of, not by an odd person as your self is, but by the major part? |
A26865 | But many of the Parish- churches are half empty? |
A26865 | But must I forgive enemies, and not friends? |
A26865 | But were no worse men suffered? |
A26865 | But what divisions and heresies shall we have if all the people shall chuse their Pastors? |
A26865 | But what escape is possible from such Accusers? |
A26865 | But what excellent Preaching or Labours have you to boast of more than others, that your Preaching must be thought so necessary? |
A26865 | But what if Perjury prove a greater sin, than not conforming to it? |
A26865 | But what if it prove otherwise, and that we must be judged as sacrilegious for alienating consecrated persons from Gods work? |
A26865 | But what if the Rulers be against it? |
A26865 | But what is the dependance of our calling on the Bishops( supposing them of Gods appointment)? |
A26865 | But what wonder if Conformity by Oaths, Subscriptions, Declarations and Covenants seem lawful to Doctors of such principles as these? |
A26865 | But when all''s done, it is not meet that any one be forced on the sick without their own consent? |
A26865 | But who are the second determing Electors? |
A26865 | But who be these Consecrators? |
A26865 | But who can you name that came out convinced that his way was wrong? |
A26865 | But why do I ask you such a question, when your undertaking would but shew your greater obdurateness, and neither save us nor your selves? |
A26865 | But why do you not go preach among the Indians, or in other lands where there is more need, if liberty of Preaching be all that you desire? |
A26865 | But why is it not as much long of your selves as of us? |
A26865 | But why must all others needs be of your judgment? |
A26865 | But why will you not then subscribe and swear in the words of the Law, but in your own? |
A26865 | But with what conscience do you come into Cities, Corporations, or within five miles of them, or of your former Preachingplaces? |
A26865 | But you chide us because we perswade them not to conformity? |
A26865 | But you''l ask, How came those Lay- men to scruples, whom I before mentioned, if not from Ministers? |
A26865 | But, 1. can you not distinguish, and yet be just? |
A26865 | But, 2. as long as we let others alone with their additions, why may they not live in peace with us, and let us alone without them? |
A26865 | Can a man believe the great things of Heaven and Hell, and preach them without great seriousness and zeal, and not play the hypocrite? |
A26865 | Can you endure these words of Hooker? |
A26865 | Can you perswade all Popish Priests in England, that they depose the King? |
A26865 | Can you think of two such instance; as Dioclesian and Charles the fifth, without admiration? |
A26865 | Cry aloud, lift up thy voice like a trumpet? |
A26865 | Did Grotius, did your Bishop Forbes, doth your Mr. Herbert Thorndike go upon such terms with them, or not? |
A26865 | Did Peter Heylin, or Archbishop Laud and his adherents, if Heylin belie him not, deal with the Papists on such terms as these? |
A26865 | Did he not preach against the Rulers will? |
A26865 | Did it not shew that you had a mind of them? |
A26865 | Did not the Heathens do thus also by the ancient Christians, when Sects swarmed among them, and deride and accuse them for their divisions? |
A26865 | Did the difference mentioned by Heylin between Bishop Mountague and Wren, about coming up to the Altar to communicate, make any factions? |
A26865 | Did they not baptize decently without the Cross? |
A26865 | Did they not pray decently without a Surplice? |
A26865 | Did they then want any needful uniformity? |
A26865 | Did we make those Laws against our selves? |
A26865 | Do not his subjects bodies and lives belong to his care? |
A26865 | Do not the Parliament and Laws tell us how they are affected? |
A26865 | Do not the people know that we differ from you in these things, as much when we are silenced, as when we preach? |
A26865 | Do not we teach them the saving truth? |
A26865 | Do the Pastors themselves no better know the Parish bounds, and the peoples wants, or the worth of souls? |
A26865 | Do they not toto& nudato pectore taelum recipire& tantum non, with great Cameron unbutton them, and cry Feri miser? |
A26865 | Do they print and publish their professed Religion to the World? |
A26865 | Do we contend for our selves, or for Truth, and love, and unity, and peace? |
A26865 | Do we justifie the secret thoughts of all Nonconformists, whom we know not? |
A26865 | Do we persecute our selves? |
A26865 | Do you help us by drawing the people from us to your selves? |
A26865 | Do you judg of others by your selves? |
A26865 | Do you know that there are any, or many among us, that live after the flesh, an ungodly, sensual, worldly life? |
A26865 | Do you know your selves, and teach the people to know themselves? |
A26865 | Do you not tell them that their arguments and exceptions are but the same that have been answered to their predecessors long ago? |
A26865 | Do you not think that they are more, and more honourable persons, whom our conformity would have pleased? |
A26865 | Do you think all these are in a good and safe condition? |
A26865 | Do you think that men can not differ from your opinions, unless we put it into their heads? |
A26865 | Do you think the bare name of a Christian and his Baptism, will save those thousands that know not what Christianity is? |
A26865 | Do you think verily that all these were mistaken? |
A26865 | Doth God bid you preach just here? |
A26865 | Doth he not here much commend the charity of those that are for the Nonconformists, before he is aware, in comparison of others? |
A26865 | Doth the difference now between your Arminians and Calvinists, which we ordinarily hear in your own Pulpits, make such Factions? |
A26865 | Doth the different modes of Cathedral and Parish- worship, make such Factions? |
A26865 | Else he might judg that men shall not be saved? |
A26865 | Et quis illos in nomine Christi dixerit Congregatos, qui hac mente unitatem quaerunt Ecclesiae? |
A26865 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? |
A26865 | For whatever you say of your self, you can not but know that it is so in London, and in many other places? |
A26865 | For you to determine that they shall be damned if the Bishop will, and then come in with a second question, Who shall answer for it? |
A26865 | Forgive me if I ask you, whether you dare appear before God with no better a Repentance? |
A26865 | Had Paul a soft head, in having so soft a conscience in this point? |
A26865 | Hath he talkt with the most of us? |
A26865 | Hath not God forbidden Kings Idolatry, Perjury, Blasphemy, Murder, Tyranny, Oppression, Adultery,& c? |
A26865 | Hath not a Nonconformists Conscience something of the command of Christ to countenance his practice? |
A26865 | Hath your Ministry done that which maketh the help of others needless, yea or no? |
A26865 | Have all other faults more suitable punishments, save only those of the Ministers of Christ? |
A26865 | Have not the Friendly Debate, and the Politician fully and unanswerably opened the folly and villany of your Religion? |
A26865 | Have the Nonconformists so often changed their cause, that you should be put to talk of so frequent change of Laws? |
A26865 | Have these mens souls any need of teaching? |
A26865 | Have you ever considered and regarded, whether the Apostles ever took your course? |
A26865 | He may judg if it become a publick Controversie, whether God shall be worshipped? |
A26865 | Herring, Mr. Barlow, and abundance more of the old Nonconformists? |
A26865 | How came it into their heads to think ill of Bishops, and to scruple Ceremonies, and Corporation- Oaths, but by you? |
A26865 | How common are the sins of Sodom throughout all the Land? |
A26865 | How contemptible doth the Novel Ecclesiastical Politician, and the Debate- maker, among many others render us? |
A26865 | How different are mens judgments of vice and virtue? |
A26865 | How easily then may a Papist, or an Atheist shake off all Oaths of Allegiance or Supremacy, by adding one unlawful Particle? |
A26865 | How else could this be noted as a difference? |
A26865 | How knoweth this man what Mr. Calamy received? |
A26865 | How long have they suffered, not only poverty and reproach, but that silencing which they account a greater evil? |
A26865 | How many of the Ministers were ever cast out for drunkenness, fornication, deceit, swearing, perjury, or any loose living or immorality? |
A26865 | How small a matter is that in comparison of the want of knowledg and faith, of grace and salvation? |
A26865 | I answer, We shall be so far united, as that they will approve of all our Religion, though we approve not of all theirs? |
A26865 | I crave your answer containg the proof of this? |
A26865 | I know the common answer is,[ Who is that long of, but of themselves and you?] |
A26865 | I was hungry, and ye fed me — I was in prison, and ye visited me? |
A26865 | If all are none of Christs, that have not his spirit, may not they give God thanks for it that have received it? |
A26865 | If all the Decrees of General Councils were imposed on all men to be subscribed, would not thousands be Nonconformists that are now conformable? |
A26865 | If any one thing or word which you judge unlawful to be done or subscribed, were put on you by a Law, would not you then be the Nonconformists? |
A26865 | If any, then any wicked Bishops may make more, and undo the Church? |
A26865 | If but few, is not Preferment rather to be got from many than from few? |
A26865 | If it be cured, that argument for the necessity of your Preaching is gone? |
A26865 | If it be in the Bishops power to judg that nine parts of London shall have no preaching, why may he not so judg of the other tenth part? |
A26865 | If it have not, why should you hate assistance, or think that help will do no good? |
A26865 | If not, let us be put in the stocks and whipt, as Paul and Silas were ▪ so we may but preach Christs Gospel? |
A26865 | If not, punish us no worse than they are punished? |
A26865 | If not, what Preachers, what Christians, what Men are these? |
A26865 | If not, what are the limits of their power? |
A26865 | If not, why do they take it for a wrong to hear of much less? |
A26865 | If not, why should it make a Faction for one man to cross a child in Baptism, and another not? |
A26865 | If not, why should they be angry with others for thinking of them, as they think of themselves? |
A26865 | If not, you are strangers to the Land which you inhabit? |
A26865 | If the bare different opinion and practice make them undervalue you, will not they think worse of you when they think you do worse? |
A26865 | If the publick Ministers Preaching will not do it, why should yours? |
A26865 | If the question was, Whether the owner or the Bees must be accused of the crime? |
A26865 | If they are not cured, how can you yet think to cure them? |
A26865 | If they are( as I doubt not but very many are), do they so esteem themselves, or not? |
A26865 | If they do, what matter of fact can ever be so notorious, as that we can hope that such men can know it? |
A26865 | If they have eaten sowr grapes, why must our teeth be set on edge? |
A26865 | If yea, give over Preaching against them: If not, do not better men differ from them? |
A26865 | If yea, you tell the world what your Religion is? |
A26865 | If you be tollerated, why not all others as well as you? |
A26865 | If you do, how shall a man know that you are not as very Hypocrites in so doing, as the Nonconformists? |
A26865 | If you say, What be those means? |
A26865 | If you should turn your charge upon the Sectaries, who hath written more against the Antinomian loose opinions, than the Nonconformists have done? |
A26865 | If you think otherwise, why distinguish you the Sons of the Church from others? |
A26865 | If you thought it were Lying, Perjury and false Worship which was imposed on you, would you change your judgment, by threatnings or by punishments? |
A26865 | In good sadness would you have men have a judgment of private discerning, or not? |
A26865 | Is Christianity so vile a thing? |
A26865 | Is he saulty that robs your child of his hat, or book, or victuals? |
A26865 | Is it a crime to rent your clothes, and is it none to rend your flesh? |
A26865 | Is it a crime to steal the feathers, and none to steal the goose? |
A26865 | Is it by Election? |
A26865 | Is it justice to charge men with seditious Preaching that never were accused or convict of any such Doctrine before any competent Judg? |
A26865 | Is it likely that he knoweth what he saith to be true? |
A26865 | Is it not Words that you require as satisfactions in your Subscriptions and Oaths? |
A26865 | Is it only Nonconformists? |
A26865 | Is not every man as much concerned for his own soul, more than the King is, or any other, as he is for his health or life? |
A26865 | Is not every mans free ▪ will as much and more to be exercised for his salvation as for his health? |
A26865 | Is that foolish and seditious? |
A26865 | Is their fearing an Oath a greater sin than prophane swearing? |
A26865 | Is there a necessity laid on ordinary Pastors also, or not? |
A26865 | Is there any sin much greater than that which he listeth himself a defender and practiser of? |
A26865 | Is there any thing in the world, that you think unlawful? |
A26865 | Is this flaming- hot Disputer so much better acquainted with us, than we are with our selves and one another? |
A26865 | Is this long of us too? |
A26865 | Is this the Justice of Sacred Clergy- men? |
A26865 | It is a fine world when it is become a controversie, Whether that which so many thousands in three Kingdoms hear and see be true? |
A26865 | It is obedience that beseemeth tender consciences: Disobedience is as the sin of witchcraft; And would you have any countenance you in so great a sin? |
A26865 | It''s true( except Mr. Fisher and some few) they were not ejected, but enjoyed their places; And did not you as well as they? |
A26865 | Judg but by your own experience: Do you not see that the people are yet ignorant and uncured? |
A26865 | Let the world judge whether his testimony then of that party be not more credible than his that so little knoweth them? |
A26865 | May they not take it for a greater mercy than all the riches of the World? |
A26865 | Mr. Durel did you ever know either me or the man you speak of that was cast out, or ever hear or see the articles against him? |
A26865 | Must all that differ in a ceremony from you, be silenced and hunted about the world, lest the people should think worse of you than of them? |
A26865 | Must the Laws be changed as oft as tender heads will scruple? |
A26865 | Nor whether to be drunk or sober? |
A26865 | Nor whether we shall give food to him that is dying through famine? |
A26865 | Nor whether we shall seek to save mens lives from fire or water, or other dangers? |
A26865 | Nullane perjuri capitis, fraudisque nefandae Poena erit? |
A26865 | O hear these expostulations of miserable Souls, before you are speechless under the Expostulations of the tender Saviour of Souls? |
A26865 | O that he would name those many, and let us try the case? |
A26865 | O the candor and impartiality of this age? |
A26865 | O who should not fear what his soul may be seduced to think and say? |
A26865 | Of all the silenced Ministers, or some? |
A26865 | On the Bishops first Ordination? |
A26865 | Or are we worse than drunkards, or fornicators? |
A26865 | Or can any be ignorant that it is not so? |
A26865 | Or can we believe that he believeth himself? |
A26865 | Or doth it follow that Christian Rulers may not silence Ministers, because they might not? |
A26865 | Or for the Order and Circumstances of operation? |
A26865 | Or is it because we perswade the people to hear them( if they are but tollerable men?) |
A26865 | Or is it because we rebuke those that vilifie them? |
A26865 | Or on his continued Will? |
A26865 | Or put us in the House of Correction, and use us as the Israelites were used in Egypt, rather than forbid us to labour to save the peoples Souls? |
A26865 | Or that the Diocesan- Ministers, supprest by Cromwell, should revive to the strength that they were in, within three years after his death? |
A26865 | Or that the desolations, which for the Interim were made among the German Ministers, should so soon be repaired? |
A26865 | Or to steal a tile, or pick a lock, and not to burn the house? |
A26865 | Or when a man is conscious what God forbiddeth, he may do it if man command it? |
A26865 | Or will they forget all the difference, think you, when we are out of sight? |
A26865 | Paul spake this of himself; but was it of himself only as extraordinarily called? |
A26865 | Pierce but retort it on him unthankfully to his reproach, as holding too loose a doctrine? |
A26865 | Query, Whether they were a Liturgy or not? |
A26865 | Quid loquar de exercitio suae jurisdictionis? |
A26865 | Quis dabit mihi homines literatos& sanctos in ecclesiis Dei praeesse Pastores, sin non in omnibus, certe in pluribus, certe in aliquibus saltem? |
A26865 | Quisnam hominum est quem contentum videris uno Flagitio? |
A26865 | Reader, is this the Religion taught by St. Paul? |
A26865 | Shall Clergy- men provoke Magistrates to make such Laws as he calleth smart, and then make our sufferings to be one of our methods? |
A26865 | Shall not the soul that sinneth dye? |
A26865 | Shall the Physician deny his Patient that Physick which his stomack can take, because it was long of himself that he can take no other? |
A26865 | Shall we believe his Sermons, or his profession and practice? |
A26865 | Speak out, Do you think us or the Papists nearer to you? |
A26865 | Suppose it be long of themselves, must their souls be therefore cruelly forsaken? |
A26865 | Suppose that one thing were by a Law imposed on you: would you think that a change of that Law would be a dangerous thing? |
A26865 | Suppose that one thing were imposed on you? |
A26865 | Sure the Spirit of God foresaw what would be said against Preaching in our times; was not Timothy ordained by man? |
A26865 | Tam ferreus ut teneat se? |
A26865 | That it is the Bishops will that they shall rather be all damned in their ignorance and sin, than taught, converted, and saved by Nonconformists? |
A26865 | The Churches will not hold the tenth person in the Parish; and how few Churches near* are standing? |
A26865 | The Explication of the Nonconformists sense of it, you have much in the Assemblies Catechisms and Confession? |
A26865 | The great question therefore, Whether none are converted but by special effectual grace? |
A26865 | The next question then is, Whether it will make them hypocrites, and force them to go against their judgments? |
A26865 | The question therefore is, Whose lives do most contradict their profession? |
A26865 | The same I say of Covenants of Peace between several Princes? |
A26865 | There is no hindering it; God will have it so, and who can gainsay him? |
A26865 | These that you talk of were Infidel or Heathen Rulers; and will you compare our with them? |
A26865 | This is my disease, or else what need I come to Church for cure? |
A26865 | This may be something for your conference with them family by family; but what is it for your preaching unto Congregations? |
A26865 | To speak to many when they can have time to hear, and to speak also to single persons when we can? |
A26865 | To think and speak well or ill? |
A26865 | We grant that all have need enough of Teaching: But what can your teaching do more than other mens? |
A26865 | We were just now accused by him and another, about our deliberate refusing of Church Dignities? |
A26865 | Were he innocent that would scourge men, women and children till they bleed, and then call out for Justice against the felons that cryed? |
A26865 | Were not almost all the Westminster- Assembly Espiscopal conformable men, when they came thither? |
A26865 | Were not those few sons liker to get Livings, if their fathers got favour by conforming? |
A26865 | What History of such Writers can deserve any credit? |
A26865 | What Nonconformist hath not groaned for our divisions, and been indeed aweary of them from the first day, and longed for our common Concord? |
A26865 | What a case are we in with such men as these, when we must needs be proud whether we accept or refufe? |
A26865 | What a stink hath the name of David Seton in Scotland, of Bonner of London, and Gardiner Bishop of Winchester, left behind? |
A26865 | What are the Cups, and Fonts, and Tables for,( do they praise the glorious mystery of Redemption?) |
A26865 | What are the Houses for, but for the convenient habitation of the Pastors? |
A26865 | What are the Lands and Tythes for, but for their maintenance while they do the work of God? |
A26865 | What are the Temples for, but to be the convenient places of their and the peoples worshipping of God? |
A26865 | What are they to them? |
A26865 | What are you then, that with your tribunals and jurisdictions would be Lords and Rulers over Christs inheritance? |
A26865 | What changes doth Thorndike plead for? |
A26865 | What confusion is this? |
A26865 | What could a Separatist have said more of you? |
A26865 | What doth he mean by talking against sin? |
A26865 | What enemy have you so much need your selves to resist, and to be saved from, as from your selves? |
A26865 | What false Religion do they contain? |
A26865 | What good doth subscribing a sentence which he believeth not, do either to the soul of the lyar himself, or to the Church? |
A26865 | What if a Popish Prince or People, put an unlawful clause into their Covenants? |
A26865 | What if the Law imposed one word on you which you could not conform to, and you differed from the Church in nothing else? |
A26865 | What if you kept all that Wisdom to your selves, in which you excel the Apostles, and put no more upon the Churches than they did? |
A26865 | What if you required no Subscription to any thing as certain truth, but only to the infallible Oracles of the Spirit? |
A26865 | What if you required no more Oaths of obedience to the Bishops, than the Apostles required to themselves, or to any Pastors of the Church? |
A26865 | What if you would learn of the Holy Ghost to impose no other than Necessary things? |
A26865 | What is this to all the rest? |
A26865 | What more common with them, than to say, All these Sects swarm out from you? |
A26865 | What more than Words is it that you would have? |
A26865 | What of all this have you to charge on those forenamed? |
A26865 | What say you? |
A26865 | What scorn or derision does Bishop Reignolds now undergo, or many of your Doctors, who some were, and some reputed formerly of our mind? |
A26865 | What then can we expect from others? |
A26865 | What would follow on the other side, if all men must have Physicians forced on them? |
A26865 | What would you have more than Words, and that mens Estates and Lives be answerable for their offences? |
A26865 | When they and you thank God for the same mercy, how shall we know but by the fruits, which of you is sincere? |
A26865 | When was it then that we were in Power? |
A26865 | Where find they in Scripture a Bishop made, that was not made the Bishop of a particular Church? |
A26865 | Where have I lived? |
A26865 | Whether Princes may silence us? |
A26865 | Whether he do well to mention our refusing of Bishopricks at all, which we our selves so studiously silence? |
A26865 | Whether the King is not as truly the Governour of his subjects as to their lives, as he is as to their Salvation? |
A26865 | Whether this be a good proof that it was not Conscience, but Interest that these men stuck upon? |
A26865 | Which doth the world among us take for the plainer dealers? |
A26865 | Which side are the generality of the Blasphemers, Whoremongers, Drunkards, and Debauched persons on? |
A26865 | Which side hath( generally) the strictest followers? |
A26865 | Who can repent of hating and destroying so odious a sort of hypocrites as he describeth? |
A26865 | Who cry out against Sects so much as the Papists? |
A26865 | Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? |
A26865 | Who that is able would not rather with Paul get their bread by some labour, than fordidly live on a barren and backward sort of charity? |
A26865 | Who will defend such a monster in War against his enemies, when no enemy can bring them into greater slavery? |
A26865 | Who will set the bryars and thorns against him in battel? |
A26865 | Whom do you speak this of? |
A26865 | Whom is it that we cry up for Saints? |
A26865 | Why are we censured for preaching against mens sins, if we are flatterers? |
A26865 | Why are you not more tender of offending and disobeying your Governours? |
A26865 | Why did you demur so long before you refused Preferments? |
A26865 | Why did you never charge us with errors in Doctrine? |
A26865 | Why do the people make such a difference between conformable Preachers as they do? |
A26865 | Why do they honour and crowd after one, and slight another? |
A26865 | Why do they not do the rest? |
A26865 | Why do you not go preach among the Indians? |
A26865 | Why do your party tell him that he is more calumniated by the Nonconformists, than by any others? |
A26865 | Why must our Souls be left to damnation, because our Teachers think that a sin, which you think you your selves have made a duty? |
A26865 | Why not all tolerated as well as you, and so let in Popery? |
A26865 | Why then do we so much desire to be out of this state, and to take up with reformed Parish- interest? |
A26865 | Why wrote you not to prove them to be another Religion? |
A26865 | Will ever Church on Earth have Concord on these terms? |
A26865 | Will he not go through them, and burn them up together? |
A26865 | Will imprisonment or banishment make us agreed, or make the people think we are agreed? |
A26865 | Will no experience teach you such easie and obvious things? |
A26865 | Will not all sober by- standers think that we have very hard measure, and have to do with a strange generation? |
A26865 | Will not even strangers from such words suspect that our adversaries own not, or have not at least so much as such a seeming sanctity of carriage? |
A26865 | Will not the Salvation or damnation be his own? |
A26865 | Will they not distast a Conformable man, whom they judg an envious persecutor, more than a Conformable man whom they judg a meek and loving man? |
A26865 | Will you do nothing to help the people to Heaven, but that which is lyable to no abuse, or inconvenience? |
A26865 | Will you give us leave openly to tell the people where our controversie lyeth? |
A26865 | Will you say, Eat this or famish, it is long of your selves? |
A26865 | Will you therefore think you are discharged from Preaching? |
A26865 | Would he have us not so much as seem holy( and so not seem Christians) that we may escape such censures? |
A26865 | Would it not be a greater prey for covetousness for both Father and Son by conforming to have Livings, than for the Son alone? |
A26865 | Would the inconveniences of this weigh down the mischiefs which are now upon the Churches throughout the world by the contrary course? |
A26865 | Would you do that which you think to be Lying, Perjury, renouncing Reformation,& c. against your consciences, rather than suffer? |
A26865 | Would you have taken the rescinding of all these Laws for a dangerous change? |
A26865 | Would you not say that a difference should be made? |
A26865 | Yea, for 1800 Ministers to have Livings, than 40 or 50 of their sons alone? |
A26865 | Yea, how many new Doctrines hath Mr. Thorndike published, and yet his Ministry is tollerable? |
A26865 | Yea, those that declared themselves to be against it? |
A26865 | Yet here you may as handsomely exclaim, What? |
A26865 | You think so highly of your selves, as if men can not be saved unless they be taught by you? |
A26865 | You think we should grant you leave to Preach; but what leave did you give us when you were in power? |
A26865 | and as guilty of the blood of all those souls that have perished by our silence and neglect? |
A26865 | and can you yet for shame desire leave to preach and propagate such a Religion as that? |
A26865 | and encourage the people in their Separations? |
A26865 | and how contrary is it to the rest of their Accusations? |
A26865 | and how unhappy will they find themselves at last? |
A26865 | and if all the rest conformed too? |
A26865 | and is he innocent that killeth him, or that robs you of your child? |
A26865 | and is not the exception a prophane scorn of Christ? |
A26865 | and is this so necessary a thing? |
A26865 | and see also whether they are a considerable number? |
A26865 | and so whether there shall be any Gospel, Religion, or Salvation? |
A26865 | and so, whether there shall be a Ministry? |
A26865 | and that consequently this is the chief reason that 1800 men subscribed not? |
A26865 | and whether the Churches Lights be not put under a bushel? |
A26865 | and whether they are snuffed or put out? |
A26865 | and which party for the more smooth and toothless Preachers? |
A26865 | and why doth he not name them, and prove his charge? |
A26865 | and will you measure and denominate the Religion of the Nonconformists ▪ by two or three mens Writings( against which also you have no more to say)? |
A26865 | and would you exclaim against it as now you do? |
A26865 | and yet who in all the world more cause them, even by the manifold Laws by which they pretend to cure them? |
A26865 | any thing that in Gods worship you durst not use? |
A26865 | any thing that you dare not subscribe to and declare? |
A26865 | chaste or unchaste? |
A26865 | how many sins of theirs and ours have had a hand in this calamity? |
A26865 | nor friends from foes? |
A26865 | nor their sufferings neither? |
A26865 | of most, or few? |
A26865 | or any also by that which in its own nature is meerly sufficient, and made effectual by mans will? |
A26865 | or by another Consecration? |
A26865 | or for the first 300 either? |
A26865 | or have the most ever said or written, that it is only the Covenant that we stick at? |
A26865 | or have they contrary meanings to fit the use of every subscriber? |
A26865 | or how? |
A26865 | or on Mr. John Ball, Mr. John Paget, Mr. Langley,& c. or on Dr. Twisse, Dr. Arrowsmith, and the rest of that Assembly? |
A26865 | or so many as is necessary to mens Salvation? |
A26865 | or that they can endure to see none live at liberty out of Gaols, that be not in all such things of their mind? |
A26865 | or that they can not live in love and peace with any that differ from them in an opinion or ceremony? |
A26865 | or those be of your way that are not of your judgment? |
A26865 | or those that live in enmity, contempt or neglect of the Laws of Christ? |
A26865 | or what Religion we should be of, Christians or Infidels? |
A26865 | or what get they by it? |
A26865 | or what to preach on? |
A26865 | or which? |
A26865 | or would you not? |
A26865 | quando recepit Ejectum semel attrita de fronte ruborem? |
A26865 | shall every woman, every boy, every sottish rustick and tradesman, have liberty to put his life into the hands of women or foolish Empericks? |
A26865 | that so many thousand Souls must pay so dear, for a few mens experience? |
A26865 | then men must not discern whether to preach or be silent? |
A26865 | what answer would you give to such an Objection as this, which equally excludeth Chillingworth and Knot? |
A26865 | what murdering of men by medicine shall we then have? |
A26865 | what not the innocent from the guilty? |
A26865 | where are any more against Bishops and Conformity than your hearers? |
A26865 | whether God should be honoured or blasphemed? |
A26865 | whether Ministers shall preach in his Dominions? |
A26865 | whether he may be blasphemed? |
A26865 | whether the Scripture be Gods word? |
A26865 | whether there be a life to come? |
A26865 | who having proposed this doubt, Why did many of them deliberate so long whether they should accept of Dignities in the Church? |
A26865 | would this answer seem wise and honest to your selves, if you did but see the things you hear of? |
A26865 | would you Conform to it or not? |
A26865 | yea a sin meet for none but utterly debauched Consciences, and such as threatneth dreadful ruine? |
A26865 | yea what a reproach to humane nature? |
A26865 | yea, and do to this day? |
A26865 | yea, or can we expect that God should bless our labours, when we offer him Lying, Perjury,& c. for a sacrifice, and so blaspheme him? |
A26865 | yea, or his poor Curate, if he have one( as few have) for his help? |
A25216 | & c.( What? |
A25216 | ( As if I were bound to be a Minister only till other Men will Sin ▪) And where can the Wit of Man ever set Bounds as to this Matter? |
A25216 | ( If not, are such fit to be Ministers of Christ?) |
A25216 | ( Now, how many of the Dissenters frequently communicate with them, while they generally refuse, shun, and condemn our Assemblies?) |
A25216 | ( Whether such will preach for, or against it?) |
A25216 | ( and whether it be safe for them to do so?) |
A25216 | ( for how shall they believe, unless they hear? |
A25216 | 14. about Meats and Days,& c.) whether it may not be a far greater Sin, and Schism in the Silencers, than in them? |
A25216 | 28? |
A25216 | 3. that the Governours of the Church must not Lord it over God ● s Heritage? |
A25216 | 62. yielding these to be at the Magisnates dispose? |
A25216 | Again, Whether was our private Meeting at that time a sinful Conventicle, when the far greater part of the Parish was with him at Church? |
A25216 | All the Question here is, Whether there be not Schism in it? |
A25216 | And a little before it, what hath he commanded her to do? |
A25216 | And are not even Mystical Ri ● s and Ceremonies of God''s Institution within that Command? |
A25216 | And are not such so far cut off from the Communion of that Church, by what he says in the beginning of that Page? |
A25216 | And are such Discourses, as those in the Supplement to the morning Exercise, of no use? |
A25216 | And are there not some Parishes, that have only Deacons to officiate? |
A25216 | And can those Auditors be no Congregation? |
A25216 | And can you make the World believe, that they suffered for Conformity? |
A25216 | And can you now assure us, that you shall not alter your present Judgment once again within twenty Years? |
A25216 | And can you say, they are sufficient? |
A25216 | And consequently, whether we are not obliged to the exercise of our Ministry, as we may have opportunity? |
A25216 | And did I not acknowledg, again and again there, that the Primitive and Reformed Churches were two of your Iudges? |
A25216 | And did Misprision, or long Vse make such a fell adoe in their Hearts also, as to blind their Consciences in this Cause? |
A25216 | And did not the Martyrs in Queen Mary''s Days suffer in one and the same Cause, whether Conformists, or Non- conformists? |
A25216 | And did not the present Non- conformists follow them herein? |
A25216 | And do they not hereby fortify the Peoples Souls against receiving converting, or edifying Instruction by such accused Ministers? |
A25216 | And do they not owe as much Service herein( for Christ''s sake) towards their own Country- men, as towards Strangers? |
A25216 | And do they not take some Sins to be Duties, or no Sins? |
A25216 | And do you not own those Lutheran Churches, that have Exorcism with Baptism, yet to be true Churches? |
A25216 | And does not Bishop Downham say, It forbiddeth all Will- Worship and Superstition, whereby Men worship God according to their own Inventions? |
A25216 | And does that Man truly know what it is to be a Minister, or a Christian, that perceives not a necessity of Help, if he can have it? |
A25216 | And doth his Christianity enable him to do more Hurt than a Pagan may do, or more Good? |
A25216 | And doth not Ignatius expresly make one Altar, and one Bishop with Presbyters and Deacons, to be the Note of a Churche''s Unity and Individuation? |
A25216 | And hath he now deserved this at your hands, to have them all thrown down in his ● ace, and to be thus upbraided with his former Kindness? |
A25216 | And have you repented of that your former Kindness and Tenderness towards them, since the Laws were against them? |
A25216 | And how cometh the Orthodox to be authorized to do Mischief, or to forbid the needful preaching of the Gospel, any more than an Heretick? |
A25216 | And how doth the Church consist of Homogeneal Parts?) |
A25216 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher?) |
A25216 | And if all must not lay down their Ministry, why must a 1000 or 2000 do it rather than all the rest? |
A25216 | And if there be the same Cause and Need, whether it be any more Schism to do it against the Laws and Will of a Christian Prince? |
A25216 | And if you had a Kindness, and Pity for Dissenters, is there not the same Reason for it still? |
A25216 | And if you should tell them our Service- book is reformed; it is possible, some may now reply, How can you say so? |
A25216 | And is Twelve Pence a Week no burden to those, that with hard Labour have much ado to maintain their Families, can scarce clear Twelve Pence per Week? |
A25216 | And is it not as strange, that he should be for silencing such a one( as of Scismatical Principles?) |
A25216 | And is not difference in many points of Doctrine as great a difference, as using and not using some of the Liturgick Forms and Ceremonies? |
A25216 | And is not that very agreeable to the Christian- temper? |
A25216 | And is not this to bind heavy Burthens upon Men''s Shoulders, and to make more Sins than are found to be so in God''s Law? |
A25216 | And is not this very Iuncture of Time as good an Occasion, as ever you may have to shew it? |
A25216 | And is that reasonable? |
A25216 | And is this Truth? |
A25216 | And m ● y it not justify those Non- conformist Ministers, that 〈 … 〉 from the Parochial Congregations? |
A25216 | And may I not be bold to tell you, that you can never prove your Deacons the same with those in the Churches erected by the Apostles? |
A25216 | And may I not say, that this is answering but by Halves? |
A25216 | And may not People very well be startled with what Christ saith concerning such? |
A25216 | And may we not query the same of the new Form of a Diocesan Church? |
A25216 | And may we think, that any that come after him, or to whom he wrote, should have power to contradict or obliterate the same? |
A25216 | And might not so much have been expected from them, as they would profess themselves to be for Vnity and Peace? |
A25216 | And might not the Admonishers have received such into their Communion, whom the other had unjustly cast out? |
A25216 | And much more, may not the same Catholick Church hold Conformists, and Protestant Dissenters? |
A25216 | And must we not then ask leave of Rulers, that Christ may be Christ, and Souls may be saved;( as if the Keys of Heaven and Hell were theirs?) |
A25216 | And otherwise doth it not follow, that it is at the Will of a Man, whether Souls shall be saved or damned? |
A25216 | And take no notice of that, How easie is it( as he says) in England to bring the Puritans into Order, if they be forced to approve of Bishops? |
A25216 | And the Lectures in the morning Exercise against Popery, of no use? |
A25216 | And then must he not forbid such Imposition as is inconsistent herewith? |
A25216 | And then why have you so many words of such being no good Christians, because Members of no Church? |
A25216 | And then will it not follow, that People should not hear them? |
A25216 | And then, whether pleading for Abatements at this day be not as seasonable? |
A25216 | And though they think, that Christ giveth them Power to do thus; yet whether their Error will make them guiltless? |
A25216 | And till the same be proved, whether are any bound to obey them, at least when they over- rule Christ''s own Institutions? |
A25216 | And to whom shall we present the Bishop for not coming to Church, or for his Crimes? |
A25216 | And were not this an easy way to introduce any Error, by forbidding any but the Defenders of it to Preach? |
A25216 | And were there not true Churches in England in that long Interval of Episcopal Government? |
A25216 | And were they for our English Ceremonies? |
A25216 | And what Assurance can you give us, that we shall see an End of them, that they will never appoint more? |
A25216 | And what harm is there in the Non- conformists preaching, where the tenth Person can not come to Church, if they would? |
A25216 | And what if Church- Governours forbad the Use of such Ceremonies? |
A25216 | And what if a Dutch Church was in your Parish? |
A25216 | And what may others say now of your Icenicum? |
A25216 | And what will you say to them, who can not believe, but they are made necessary? |
A25216 | And when his Judgment may be, that submission to such Determination of Men, would be real Disobedience and acting contrary to the Will of God? |
A25216 | And where Men should be forced to damn their Souls by sinning against their Consciences, would not this be directly repugnant? |
A25216 | And where he hath determined the matter himself, what have Men to do more, than to submit to his Determination? |
A25216 | And where will you fix, as to the use of them? |
A25216 | And whether Men may make Laws about Religion, enjoyning such an evil use of such things? |
A25216 | And whether Pastors of the Churches should be constrained to administer Sacraments to any against their Consciences? |
A25216 | And whether all that think not themselves wiser, should not confess that at least it is safe to follow it? |
A25216 | And whether any Man can be the Pastor of a Church de jure, or truly de facto, against the Church, or Peoples Will, or without their Consent? |
A25216 | And whether any Man should be cut off from the Church, or taken as separated, that breaketh no Law of God, necessary to Church- Unity and Communion? |
A25216 | And whether any mortal Man hath Power to abrogate these Terms of Church- union and Concord which Christ hath made? |
A25216 | And whether are not Ministers specially obliged to do it( by their Calling) as Ministers of Christ, thereto devoted? |
A25216 | And whether did the ejecting them from the Temples and Tithes degrade them, or make them no Pastors to their Flocks? |
A25216 | And whether have not some Faithful Men more than others? |
A25216 | And whether if the poor were famishing about us, any Law of Mans can disoblige us from relieving them? |
A25216 | And whether is there not need of a far greater number of Assistants, than all the present Non- conformists? |
A25216 | And whether it be not as certain, that Force will never do it? |
A25216 | And whether it be not as impossible to bring them all to conform to that which they judg unlawful? |
A25216 | And whether it be not certain, that the first will never do it? |
A25216 | And whether it ever had Union upon such additional Terms of new Professions, Subscriptions and Oaths, as most Churches now impose ▪ and require? |
A25216 | And whether many Councils do not forbid hearing Hereticks? |
A25216 | And whether must they obey such a prohibition, as such? |
A25216 | And whether overdoing Terms of Church- Union and Concord be not the certainest Engines of Schism? |
A25216 | And whether such remain not under a Divine Obligation, which Man''s Law can not dissolve? |
A25216 | And whether the Souls of such, as some call humorous, peevish, or wilful, be not worth more than some of that they call their Liberty? |
A25216 | And whether the only thing pretended for our present Paucity be not the want of Maintenance( with the want of worthy Men?) |
A25216 | And whether the taking of a narrower compass, be not a fundamental Error in its Policy, and will not always hinder its stability and increase? |
A25216 | And whether this imply not an Accusation against him, and his Institutions? |
A25216 | And whether those Terms that would have divided the Church, are fit means to unite it? |
A25216 | And whether we may not suppose, that Satan is afraid of their Ministry who hath stirred up so much Opposition against it? |
A25216 | And whether would there be need of the best Conformists, as Ministers, if the People had no Faults, or Weaknesses? |
A25216 | And which way did you wind and turn your self, to get off from those Arguments? |
A25216 | And who gave them Authority? |
A25216 | And who then can say, what those Untruths and Sins are, which a weak and erring Ministry may be guilty of, which shall serve to disoblige the rest? |
A25216 | And whose Conscience should sooner accuse him of Schism? |
A25216 | And whose Laws be they, that would so bind? |
A25216 | And will you be for that peaceable Design, for going as near to Rome as you can, without Sin? |
A25216 | And would you have Servants th ● pol ● ● d too? |
A25216 | And yet how obvious is it, that this is quite over- looked here, not once seriously debated in any of these three Letters? |
A25216 | And yet is it now a loose Principle? |
A25216 | And yet on the other hand, would you have them conform to you, though against their Consciences? |
A25216 | And, whether do they consult the Churches Peace and Vnity, who suspend it upon such things,( as you know what?) |
A25216 | Are all professed Christians absolutely boun ● in their Places to endeavour the same, by their Vow in Baptism, and their very Profession? |
A25216 | Are not Christ''s Laws equally obligatory? |
A25216 | Are not Souls equally precious? |
A25216 | Are not his Words recorded here, part of Christ''s Law indited by the Spirit? |
A25216 | Are not these things invidiously spoken? |
A25216 | Are there no Non- conformists, that use to hear you, when they have Opportunity? |
A25216 | Are there no fitter means than silencing, to correct such Ministers? |
A25216 | Are there no true Churches to be found in the World, that have no Bishops( of a superior order over Pastors?) |
A25216 | Are they the greatest Separatists, who hold Communion with you, so far as they can? |
A25216 | Are you Impartial? |
A25216 | Are you for altering what was setled in so great Wisdom, by Men of so great Integrity, such indefatigable Industry, such profound Iudgment? |
A25216 | Are you impartial in the Account you give of the Reformation in King Edward 6 and Q. Elizabeth''s Raign? |
A25216 | Are you in good earnest? |
A25216 | Because I suppose, you will be ready to object here, How is it possible for Order to be kept up, if People may run after what Teachers they please? |
A25216 | But after all this, wherein is it that he hath thus contradicted himself? |
A25216 | But do you your self be ● ● ● ve, that the old Non- conformists thought it unlawful for them to preach at a ●, when silenced? |
A25216 | But here, do not in Effect charge them, with not using the best means for a right Information? |
A25216 | But is it not for Moderation in such Cases, wherein Moderation ought to be shewn? |
A25216 | But is it so, that we have quite lost you? |
A25216 | But is there here no sharp Reflection? |
A25216 | But then, had you not pleaded as much for Dissenters, as here you plead against them? |
A25216 | But were we not true Ministers before? |
A25216 | But what have you further to say to me? |
A25216 | But what say you to this? |
A25216 | But will it not follow from his own Words, That Christian Charity obliges you to bear with ou ● Non- conformity, yet you will not bear with us? |
A25216 | But will not this equally hold against our Church, if it excommunicates those who can not conform? |
A25216 | But would you not lead us here into a Maze, a Labyrinth, without any Clew to guide us out? |
A25216 | By a Parity of Reason, may not other foreign Churches be denied to have Communion with the Church of England? |
A25216 | Can no Christian ever justify his omitting any possible lawful Means for the Advancement of his Religion? |
A25216 | Can not the Worship of God be performed decently, and in ord ● r without them? |
A25216 | Can this be a safe and sure Rule? |
A25216 | Can you assign any just and sufficient Cause ex Natura rei, why such a way of Worship should not be allowed? |
A25216 | Can you ever find all these Officers, Arch- Bishops; Lord- Bishops, Deans, Chancellors,& c ▪ down to Apparitors, in the Primitive Church? |
A25216 | Can you ever prove, that there are no Officers, Laws, Rules and Orders in your Church, different from what were in the true Primitive Church? |
A25216 | Can you find any such Separatists amongst those, who y ● t remain firmly united to you in the Confession of the same Faith? |
A25216 | Can you find no more in the Affirmative part of it, than a Command to worship God without an Image? |
A25216 | Could the French, and Belgick Churches assent to the Ius divinum of Episcopacy? |
A25216 | Could you then possibly mean, that such Ceremonies, and Matter of Order and Decency were all one? |
A25216 | Cr ● dock? |
A25216 | Did not the Apostle speak here by Divine Authority? |
A25216 | Did the Reformation lie in those things wherein Dissenters differ from you? |
A25216 | Did they d ● this, as und ● r the Inspection and Government of the Rulers that then were? |
A25216 | Did you not here suppose some Equality in these Cases? |
A25216 | Do not his Reasons touch the case of all Churches in all Ages, and not only some particular Persons, and Case? |
A25216 | Do not the Lutheran Churches hold some things lawful, and indifferent, which in the Judgment of the Church of England are unwarrantable? |
A25216 | Do you find the one agreeable to the other? |
A25216 | Do you find this within the first five hundred years? |
A25216 | Do you not charge them with wilful Error or Mistake? |
A25216 | Do you not here bewray some undecent Passion, which you so condemn others for? |
A25216 | Do you not here make your Parochial Congregations also New Churches? |
A25216 | Do you well accord here with the Governours of the Church? |
A25216 | Doth he not direct this Command to all the Church of Rome, even to the authorized Pastors and Rulers of the Church, as well as to the People? |
A25216 | Doth he not forbid censuring, despising, and not receiving one another; and command Dissenters to receive one another? |
A25216 | For do they not do the very same things, and in the same manner, that the others do? |
A25216 | Had not these been of the same Nature, and as lawful as the significant Ceremonies, which the Church hath taken on her to appoint? |
A25216 | Hath God made Men Judges whether the Gospel shall be preached or not; or whether People shall be Saved, or left to perish in their Ignorance and Sin? |
A25216 | Hath not God made them Instruments of the Conversion and Salvation of many Souls? |
A25216 | Hath not this been taken for their Right given them by God? |
A25216 | Haywood, I. Shaw, Thomas Vincent, and Matthew Pool,( so well known by his learned and useful Synopsis Critic ● ●) all of no use? |
A25216 | He that heareth you, hearet ● me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me,& c. Now what will you make of them, and their Hearers? |
A25216 | Here were distinct and peculiar Teachers, not under the Government of the Iewish Church- Rulers: Then, were they new( unlawful) Churches? |
A25216 | How can these things stand together? |
A25216 | How far are they above all your Censures? |
A25216 | How far doth the Example of our Saviour or his Apostles warrant such rigorous Impositions?] |
A25216 | How happy and glorious would the Church of England be, had she no worse Teachers, than Dr. Stilling fleet was, when he maintained those Principles? |
A25216 | How is it proved, and how cometh it to be any great matter to separate from a Church- ● orm which God never made? |
A25216 | How many great and pressing moral Reasons( that all Christians are bound by) are heaped up here? |
A25216 | How many that could not submit to these Laws and Rules, without receding from their own publick Confessions? |
A25216 | How oft do you greatly expose your self, that what you urge agianst your Brethren may justly be retorted on you? |
A25216 | How strange is it, that the Reverend Doctor, should ever forget the Rector of Sutton? |
A25216 | How then comes that to be an Act of Worship in them, when with you it is no Act of Worship, but a ● eer indifferent Ceremony? |
A25216 | How then is their Ministry become a destructive and pernicious thing? |
A25216 | How then shall we be satisfied, and assured, that you have not written partially of late, out of overmuch Fondn ● ss on Conformity? |
A25216 | How will Dissenters thank you for this? |
A25216 | I say, why may not such be owned as in Communion with the Church of England? |
A25216 | I suppose you may have Bishop Cranmer''s Manuscript still by you; and are you of his Iudgment in all things? |
A25216 | I would know, whether that Speech of the Bishop of St. David''s in the Convocation- House, May 23, 1604, was not seasonable? |
A25216 | If Men can spare the Ministry, why are they maintained? |
A25216 | If Rulers may silence the faithful Ministers of Christ, who knoweth where to bound his Obedience to such Silencers? |
A25216 | If Usurpers claim the Crown, must not Subjects judg which is the true King, and defend his Right? |
A25216 | If a 1000 or 2000 faithful Ministers must cease Preaching, when so forbidden, why not 3000? |
A25216 | If a Patient would not take a Medicine from one Mans hand, whether would not the Physician consent that another should give it him? |
A25216 | If not, what makes a Member, and how are the Pastors special Flock truly known to him from others? |
A25216 | If not, whether dwelling in the Parish makes a Christian a Member of the Parish- Church? |
A25216 | If still they are in Office, as Ministers of Christ, are they not obliged to serve him in that Office, as they have a Call and Opportunity? |
A25216 | If the Bishops be Members, Doth the Canon that forbids Men to go from their own Parish- Churches, extend to the Bishop? |
A25216 | If they are needful for the safety of Mens Souls, must so many thousands hazard their Souls, for want of needful help? |
A25216 | If yea, must not the Bounds of it be shewed, without denying the thing,( as if that would bring in all Confusion?) |
A25216 | If yea, would they not have necessary help to do it? |
A25216 | If you are clear in the Point, have you done this? |
A25216 | If you have Communion with them, why may you not as lawfully have Communion with Nonconformists in their way of Worship? |
A25216 | If you have no Communion with them, then are you not Schismaticks from those Churches? |
A25216 | If you mak ● them unprofitable, idle Indifferents, are not such things unworthy of the Churches Appointment? |
A25216 | If you say here, What is this to a positive Separation, which is the present Business? |
A25216 | Is Schism indeed become such an inconsiderable and petty Inconvenience? |
A25216 | Is every one bound to submit( wholly as to the Form of Government) to Governours Determination? |
A25216 | Is he not bound to do more good than they, rather than authorized to do more hurt? |
A25216 | Is it Infidel Princes or only Christians? |
A25216 | Is it Papists,& c. or only the Orthodox? |
A25216 | Is it better to let them hear none at all, than that we preach to them? |
A25216 | Is it in the point of Separation, which is the present Business? |
A25216 | Is not the Gospel and God''s Worship equally necessary? |
A25216 | Is not this Scripture( as others) written for a standing Rule, and so obligatory to Rulers still? |
A25216 | Is not this a different Case? |
A25216 | Is not this to blast the Credit of the Reformation? |
A25216 | Is there any Christian that dare say, that Bishops or Princes are in all things to be obeyed, lest the People be made Judges? |
A25216 | Is there no need of more? |
A25216 | Is there nothing to be done for Dissenting Protestants? |
A25216 | Is this Rule, of the Iudgment of the Primitive and Reformed Churches indeed applicable to your established Rule? |
A25216 | Is this a golden, rather is it not a leaden Rule? |
A25216 | Is this a plain, or rather is it not an Impossible Rule? |
A25216 | Is this for the Honour of our Reformation? |
A25216 | Is this your Christian Charity? |
A25216 | Is this your Ingenuity, your Gratitude, your Christian- temper? |
A25216 | Magistrates keeping all in Peace? |
A25216 | Making their Practice, that own you to be true Churches, to be the more unjustifiable, more inexcusable, more unreasonable Separation? |
A25216 | May I give away the needful helps to my Salvation, because others have them? |
A25216 | May it not be turned contrary ways? |
A25216 | May not several Churches differ in Modes and Forms of Worship, and yet have Communion with one another? |
A25216 | May not the like be truly said of the Ministry of many Non- conformists, both heretofore, and to this present day? |
A25216 | May they not endeavour any Alteration, not so much as by complaining to Governours of such Exorbitances of Power, and by humble Petition for Redress? |
A25216 | Might not they with a good Conscience have forborn those needless Impositions, which they very well knew would be so grievous and burdensome to many? |
A25216 | Must God ask leave of Rulers to be worshipped as God? |
A25216 | Must all obey? |
A25216 | Not one word but might equally have served the Papists? |
A25216 | Now are not these pretty sharp Reflections? |
A25216 | Now it is true, they can not pretend Authority from the Bishops: but if they can prove, they have Authority from Christ, is not that sufficient? |
A25216 | Now it would be considered, whether in these Words you have not given Metropolitan Churches a shake, if not Diocesan Churches too? |
A25216 | Now they rest from their Labours, yet do not many of their Works praise them in the Gates? |
A25216 | Now what Equity is here? |
A25216 | Now will you say, those Rules and Orders, about which all the Difference is betwixt you, and the Non- conformists, concern the Being of your Church? |
A25216 | Or can we think that the Church should now unite upon such Terms, as it never united before? |
A25216 | Or doing nothing by Partiality? |
A25216 | Or doth it prove it not necessary to them, that it is preached to others? |
A25216 | Or ever the ● ss, if they renounce their Ministry? |
A25216 | Or if it be otherwise, must they not be ruled as Brutes? |
A25216 | Or if you do account them so sinful and dangerous, are you not the more obliged to disprove and refute them? |
A25216 | Or might they have forbidden the Priests the Work appointed them by God? |
A25216 | Or might they have put any one in his Place, that had not Right from God, or that was unqualified? |
A25216 | Or that honest Men can lye, and say that they assent to what they do not? |
A25216 | Or the Assembly that joyned, at that time, Schismaticks? |
A25216 | Or to which of their Determinations must others submit? |
A25216 | Or were there no Churches in England then, or till your establisht Rule came in? |
A25216 | Or what are their Thoughts of Souls, of Sin, of Repentance ▪ of Holiness, and of their own Sufficiency and Labours? |
A25216 | Or whether both Parties might not yet be in Communion with the Church of England? |
A25216 | Or whether imputing their Error to Christ untruly, be not an Aggravation of the Sin? |
A25216 | Or whether is it Schism to disobey it? |
A25216 | Or whether it be not enough that we patiently suffer? |
A25216 | Or whether it be to be compared with the consequents of unnecessary Impositi ● ns? |
A25216 | Or why do you neglect your Duty towards them? |
A25216 | Or will you allow others to say, that there you have pleaded for unreasonable Separation? |
A25216 | Or will you assert the contrary, and prove it? |
A25216 | Or would you have such Re- baptized? |
A25216 | Or, whether they could change or abrogate their Office? |
A25216 | Say then, Whether ever any such Controversie arose betwixt the Conformists and Non- conformists? |
A25216 | Say you, And doth this Kindness only belong to some of our Parochial Churches? |
A25216 | Should not English- men be as well concerned for English- men, as for Indians? |
A25216 | Should they betrary the Churches Interest, for the Churches Peace? |
A25216 | So here, how plain is it, that you look but on one side,( which as I remember you suppose those that differ from you to be faulty in?) |
A25216 | So whether that Determination and Decree of the holy Ghost by the Apostles be not obligatory to all Rulers and Churches upon Earth, even to this day? |
A25216 | The Apostle gives Timothy a very solemn Charge( then are not Bishops concerned in it, if Timothy was a Bishop?) |
A25216 | The main thing to be discussed, is, Whether the Communion of your Church or ours, be rather to be chosen in order to Salvation? |
A25216 | The only Question then remaining seems to be; By what Authority they do these things? |
A25216 | Then are not Deacons, that are allowed to preach, and baptize,& c. different Officers? |
A25216 | Then are they not bound in their Places to endeavour the Advancement of Religion, as well at home, as abroad? |
A25216 | Then may not Men question, whether the Governours of the Church have such a Power from Christ, till they can prove it? |
A25216 | Then must you not either acquit many Dissenters here, or condemn many Conformists? |
A25216 | Then what if our Civil Governours, and the Ecclesiastical should differ in their Iudgments, and Determinations? |
A25216 | Then whether is the new Form of Congregations jure divino, when they become but parts of a Bishops Church? |
A25216 | To your Question there, doth this make a Man to have Communion with the Church of Rome? |
A25216 | WHether the Apostle Paul hath not clearly and fully decided the case, against censuring or despising one another for things Indifferent? |
A25216 | Was all their Patience in this Cause for Conscience sake, not a Fruit of God''s Spirit in them, but a Bastard of their own Spirit? |
A25216 | Was he not a Pastor and Ruler of that Church as fully authorized as any that should succeed? |
A25216 | Was it their Judgment, that each Nation, or Province should be tied up to a strict Vniformity in such things? |
A25216 | Was the Primitive Church for kneeling in the Act of receiving? |
A25216 | Was there not need of an Index Expurgatorius here? |
A25216 | Were not some of them glad of an opportunity of Preaching in another Diocess, when they might not be suffered to preach where they lived? |
A25216 | Were not some of them such, as the Christian World never yielded more eminent Lights of Sincerity and true Holiness, since the Apostles times? |
A25216 | Were not the Psaltzgraves Churches to be reckoned among the reformed Churches? |
A25216 | Were the Primitive Churches for imposing the same Liturgy, the same Rites and Ceremonies, which they yet held undetermined by God''s Word? |
A25216 | Were they not baptized in this Church, and received into Communion with it as Members of it? |
A25216 | Were they tyed up to the Church- Rules of the Jews in what they did? |
A25216 | Were this one Rule agreed on, what Peace and Unity would soon follow? |
A25216 | What Justice or Reason is there, that the Party accused, should sit Judg in their own Cause? |
A25216 | What a damp brought it to all Godliness and Religion? |

A25216 | Will you consider such, to take off the Scruples you may have occasioned by this Passage? |
A25216 | Will you grant, that such as agree with you in all things necessary, may not, should not be debarred Communion, by imposing things unnecessary? |
A25216 | Will you no more stand our Friend? |
A25216 | Will you say, you wrote partially then, as swayed with your Pitty and Tenderness towards Dissenters? |
A25216 | Would God be wel- pleased with such Service, as was done but to please Men, while their Consciences( in the mean while) condemned them for it? |
A25216 | Would it be to sin against this Rule? |
A25216 | Would not such a Rule be point- blank contrary to Scripture- Rule? |
A25216 | Would not that considerable Person, you once speak of, Philip Nye, have said, Quid verba audiam cum facta videam? |
A25216 | Would not this be contrary to true Faith and Piety? |
A25216 | Would that be no Sin? |
A25216 | Would they have had me suffered this Sin to have lain upon them without reproving it? |
A25216 | Would you disclaim Communion with them, because they had some Rules and Orders different from yours? |
A25216 | Would you have called those, new separate Churches, that made use of the new reformed Liturgy? |
A25216 | Would you have them bound to acquiesce in the publick Decision, without doing any thing towards a Reformation? |
A25216 | Would you not here be raking into old Sores,& c. contrary to what you say in your Preface, p. 44, 45? |
A25216 | Would you then disown, and discard such, whom you here maintain to be the Apostles Successours? |
A25216 | You go on, Are you afraid of having too many Friends, that you thus use those, whom you once took to be such? |
A25216 | You pleaded wel ● for 〈 ◊ 〉 ● ● ms, and what can you say now, what have you thought of since to justify Mens imposing harder Terms? |
A25216 | You should have told us also what Reformed Churches you meant, whether all, or only some of them? |
A25216 | and at the Will of Man, whether Christ shall have a Church, and God be publickly worshipped, or not? |
A25216 | and hath not he given Laws to regulate all Men''s Laws that determine of needful undetermined Accidents? |
A25216 | and if others make them profitable, edifying Ceremonies, have you not here denied that the Church hath so great Power of her self to appoint such? |
A25216 | and so must not ● udg so much as whom they are to obey? |
A25216 | and what better way can you think of, to put a stop to Separation? |
A25216 | and which Humane Churches are necessary, which Lawful, and which Sinful? |
A25216 | and yet would you wholly lay aside the Office of the Ministry, and preach the Gospel no more, rather than c ● oss his Will? |
A25216 | as proving them to be true Churches, They having the Word of God truly preached, and Sacraments administred acc ● rding to Christ''s Institution? |
A25216 | beyond Exception prove it, with more? |
A25216 | could they own it, as evident to all Men diligently reading the holy Scriptures, to be of Apostolical Institution? |
A25216 | had we not a valid Ordination? |
A25216 | how comes it then to be Separation in some, and not in others? |
A25216 | is Beza for silencing, and stopping the Mouths of such a number of faithful and able Ministers? |
A25216 | or a Christian more than an Heathen? |
A25216 | or a Conformists, that will hold Communion with none but his own Party, but separates from all other Churches in the Land? |
A25216 | or rather, are you not uncharitable in your Censure of all those, whom you condemn as Separatists, and guilty of Schism? |
A25216 | our Church utterly denies? |
A25216 | p. 132. you say, The Question is not, whether all publick Worship be sinful, when forbidden? |
A25216 | should their Salvation satisfy me instead of mine own? |
A25216 | supposing such a Sentence unjust, though that alone would not justify Separation, whether yet it may not something extenuate it? |
A25216 | that unnecessary Laws and Burthens in Religion should be made for, and laid upon the Churches? |
A25216 | the hatred of their Brethren on the minds of such Hearers as will believe them, and receive the Impress? |
A25216 | then is there not some strange secret Virtue, or Inchantment in this Chain of Conformity? |
A25216 | till it be first known, which of those is of Divine, and which of Humane Institution? |
A25216 | to add to his Doctrine by making things necessary, which he never made to be so? |
A25216 | to be the Title of visible Members of the Church, and the Symbol by which they shall be notified? |
A25216 | to himself? |
A25216 | were they not distinct and peculiar Officers? |
A25216 | what can we do here in comparison of you? |
A25216 | what? |
A25216 | where can you stop them from appointing new Ceremonies? |
A25216 | whether some are not tolerable, and therefore to be tolerated; and some intolerable, and therefore not to be tolerated? |
A25216 | while you are against allowing the like Liberty to Natives, which you deny not to Strangers? |
A25216 | why not 4000? |
A25216 | will say, If a Foot must be cut off for a Gangreen, why not for a Corn? |
A25216 | will you say, the latter is the more unreasonable? |
A25216 | worth more than a needless Ceremony? |
A25216 | worthy of Ejection, or Exclusion from their Ministry, whether they have not still a Right to exercise their Function? |
A25216 | — And is that true Zeal for God? |
A25216 | — Could not Latimer, or Bradford, or such holy, mortified Men as they, discern so much as a Mote of Vnlawlawfulness? |
A25216 | — Now walkest thou not charitably? |
A25216 | — Would Beza, even Beza, at such a time as that, be for silencing so many Preachers? |
A61632 | ''s first Question is, which way the Child cometh to have right to Baptism, any more than all the Infidels Children in the world? |
A61632 | ''s ground? |
A61632 | ''s principles made so many Bishops that every one might have had three or four for his share? |
A61632 | ( Are not these kind words for themselves, considering what he gives to others?) |
A61632 | 18. and that which the Papists give to the Host, when it is carried up and down the streets? |
A61632 | Again, Why should not you bear with lesser contradiction, when others must bear with far greater from you? |
A61632 | Also did not Ridley stand upon his Right to the Bishoprick of London though ready to die? |
A61632 | And How could I do that without proving those Practices to be sinful? |
A61632 | And Is it not the same case here, If Men only afford an occasional Presence, at some parts of our Worship? |
A61632 | And Is this all the Antidote against the Mischief of Separation? |
A61632 | And What could more harden the Papists, then to see Men put no difference betwen these? |
A61632 | And are we now told, That all that can lawfully be done is done? |
A61632 | And as for you, Augustin, Who can with patience read your long and fierce Declamations, against the sober Donatists? |
A61632 | And by that time all these have set up among us, shall we not be in a very hopeful way to preserve the Protestant Religion? |
A61632 | And can not these prevail with Men to do that, which they think in their Consciences they may lawfully do, towards joyning in Communion with us? |
A61632 | And can we think all these persons had praesential and local Communion with Saint Augustin in his Church at Hippo? |
A61632 | And consequently, whether others may not as justly be said to draw away their People from them, as they are charged with the same practice? |
A61632 | And could Mr. B. have found it in his heart to have told him that he did not understand the right constitution of Churches? |
A61632 | And did not he declare, That he came not to dissolve the Law, but to fulfill it? |
A61632 | And did not the false Apostles do so, and have not others followed their examples? |
A61632 | And did not their Example powerfully help forward the Reformation of all Europe? |
A61632 | And did they not give them Authority to doe what they had appointed? |
A61632 | And doth this Kindness only belong to some of our Parochial Churches? |
A61632 | And from whence does it then come, that some Englishmen themselves have so ill an opinion of her at present, and divide rashly from her, as they do? |
A61632 | And how could they make choice of men for their fitness and abilities, when their abilities depended so much on the Apostles laying on of their hands? |
A61632 | And how then can it be imagined, that it has changed its use? |
A61632 | And if Presbytery had been settled upon the Kings Restauration, would they not have continued their Separation? |
A61632 | And if it be, whether the Children of confederated Parents not being confederated themselves, can convey a right to their Children? |
A61632 | And if men be wrongfully excommunicate, are they thereby absolved from all publick Worshipping of God? |
A61632 | And if they could be drawn into the design, would the People submit? |
A61632 | And is all this nothing but to be the Bishop''s Curates, and to officiate in some of his Chapels? |
A61632 | And is it not to their wise conduct, to which next under God, his Word is beholden for its Victories and Triumphs? |
A61632 | And is it probable the Apostle should prescribe a Rule of mutual forbearance, in such a case as this? |
A61632 | And is not a mistake or error of Conscience all one? |
A61632 | And is not every Church- member bound to perform these? |
A61632 | And is not that possible and lies in them to do, which they acknowledge lawful to be done, and can do at some times? |
A61632 | And is promising and performance all one? |
A61632 | And is the Power of the Keys in their hands too? |
A61632 | And is this all? |
A61632 | And must we never Preach against the Papists but when they are present? |
A61632 | And must you, even you, that should be our comfort, become our shame, and break our hearts, and make Men Papists by your Temptation? |
A61632 | And on the other side, hath not Mr. B. complained publickly of the weakness and injudiciousness of too many of the Non- conformist Preachers? |
A61632 | And so many useful Men be incouraged and taken into the Constitution? |
A61632 | And that he complyed with Iohn''s Baptism, because he was to fulfill all righteousness? |
A61632 | And the worst cases imaginable supposed, in stead of that which is really theirs? |
A61632 | And therefore why may not every Church appoint its own Rite of admission of Members into its Body? |
A61632 | And upon all these several bars to the Parents Right, how few Children will be left, that a man can baptize with a safe Conscience? |
A61632 | And was it Idolatry and to be tolerated in 1675? |
A61632 | And was it not very pertinent to this, to shew how far an erroneous conscience may, or may not excuse from sin? |
A61632 | And was this an argument the Power was then in the People? |
A61632 | And were these true Churches all that while, and are not ours so now? |
A61632 | And what Argument can stand before a man of such prowesse in disputing? |
A61632 | And what coherence is there now between this, and the Proof that I bring for the Existence of a Deity? |
A61632 | And what consequence is there from the unlawfulness of the Worship of Images, against our worshipping of God? |
A61632 | And what if it represents subjection to Christ as the Redeemer? |
A61632 | And what is there in Theodoret which contradicts this? |
A61632 | And what is this but to deny Communion with the Church of England? |
A61632 | And what is this to the Impositions of our Church, or Separation on the account of them? |
A61632 | And what is this to the power of the Church? |
A61632 | And what must we do? |
A61632 | And what need a new Church when himself allows occasional distinct Assemblies for greater Edification? |
A61632 | And what then can justifie this Separation, but a difference of Opinion as to some circumstantials in Worship? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what was there, which the old Non- conformists more complained of, than the want of a more Preaching Ministery? |
A61632 | And where hath he appointed that there should be no other Churches but particular Congregations? |
A61632 | And whether any part of the People might still own that relation which he had before to them, without palpable disobedience and contempt of Authority? |
A61632 | And whether besides all these, actual confederation and joyning in Church Covenant be not necessary? |
A61632 | And who are these People? |
A61632 | And who is the Schismatick here? |
A61632 | And why should not you bear with my Dissent, as well as I do with yours? |
A61632 | And why should we imagin it otherwise, as to extent of Power and Iurisdiction? |
A61632 | And would he conceal such weighty things from those who were so desirous to find the Truth, and so resolved to adhere to it? |
A61632 | And yet is not this a Professing, Dedicating, Covenanting, Symbolical, Sacramental Sign, as much as the Sign of the Cross is among us? |
A61632 | And, Do we not feel it? |
A61632 | And, Do we not make want of Discipline, one of the Reasons of our Separation? |
A61632 | And, Doth it not plainly signifie, that Errors of Conscience is a protection against Schism? |
A61632 | And, Doth not the Apostle expresly say, That he was made under the Law? |
A61632 | And, Hath he now deserved this at your hands, to have them all thrown in his face, and to be thus upbraided with his former kindness? |
A61632 | And, How is it possible, upon these terms, to have any Peace, or Order, or any establish''d Church? |
A61632 | And, Is this a good ground for Separation, that the Preaching is too good for the People? |
A61632 | And, Is this a good way of Answering, to dissemble the main force of an Argument, that something may seem to be said to it? |
A61632 | And, Is this the Damnable, Devillish, Sacrilegious Schism you talk of? |
A61632 | And, Must such Mens Judgments be taken, concerning the Abilities and Competency of their Ministers? |
A61632 | And, Shall the Holy Office and Calling, which is so agreeable to the VVord, be misliked, because it is called a Priesthood? |
A61632 | And, What could this be for, but to draw People from their Churches, to make up Separate Congregations? |
A61632 | And, What is a Formal Separation if this be not? |
A61632 | And, Wherein doth our Church differ from its first Establishment? |
A61632 | And, Which of them Reads what they think lawful at their own Assemblies? |
A61632 | And, saith he, Shall they use our hands to do their Works, and pull their Freedom out of the Fire? |
A61632 | Are all these Rules now come to nothing but what follows from the nature of the thing? |
A61632 | Are not David''s Psalms the same, whether they be Sung, or Said? |
A61632 | Are not the words express, that they promise both by their Sureties? |
A61632 | Are not these men hugely to seek for Arguments against our Church that talk at this rate? |
A61632 | Are not these sufficient Testimonies that I am your Son, but you must expect my obedience in such a trifling Ceremony as putting off my Hat? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple giving common respect to others as a sort of Idolatry? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple the lawfulness of Infant- baptism among us? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple the validity of our Ordinations, and say, we can have no true Churches, because we renounce Communion with the Pope? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple the very use of Baptism and the Lords Supper, saying they are not to be literally understood? |
A61632 | Are they Churches rightly constituted, with whom they may joyn in Communion as Members? |
A61632 | Are they Divine or Human? |
A61632 | Are they only the grave and wise Pastors among themselves, which are scorned by such men? |
A61632 | Are you afraid of having too many Friends, that you thus use those, whom you once took to be such? |
A61632 | As for those of the Separation, saith Parker a Noted Non- conformist, Who have Confuted them more than we? |
A61632 | At what Time? |
A61632 | Before I answer this Question, I hope, I may ask another; whence comes this zeal now against a National Church? |
A61632 | Besides, why may not our Ministers be obliged to certify the Bishop, as well as theirs to certify the Presbytery? |
A61632 | But I pray doth it hence follow, that Infants do perform Faith and Repentance by their Sureties? |
A61632 | But Who are these Vsurpers among us, since we have a legal establishment, and we thought Law and Vsurpation contrary to each other? |
A61632 | But after all this, wherein is it that he hath thus contradicted himself? |
A61632 | But are these tolerable inconveniencies? |
A61632 | But as to Abilities and Knowledge fit for Ministers, Are not the People admirable Judges? |
A61632 | But can those be called Schismaticks for not communicating with a Church, who are first excommunicated by that Church? |
A61632 | But did I ever say, there was no Certainty without Infallible Assistance? |
A61632 | But did he ever divide the Church on such an account as this? |
A61632 | But did the Churches of New England allow this for a just Cause? |
A61632 | But do I any where say, that being in the Empire, they were bound to submit to the Roman Church? |
A61632 | But doth he mean any indifferent Rites, or Ceremonies, where the Doctrine is sound? |
A61632 | But doth not Mr. Baxter say, that the universal Church is headed by Christ himself? |
A61632 | But have they no right to their own Souls and to the care of them? |
A61632 | But have we not the same Religion still? |
A61632 | But how could 5000 then doe all this together? |
A61632 | But how then comes he to justifie the Separation from the Church of Rome? |
A61632 | But how? |
A61632 | But if I onely mean a Christian Kingdom, who denies it? |
A61632 | But if men do not sin in making an Image a stated Motive of Worship( whoever said they did not? |
A61632 | But if the Profane must be excluded, by what Law? |
A61632 | But if the Question be, by what way this National Consent is to be declared? |
A61632 | But is it lawful for a Congregation to separate on the account of Infant- Baptism? |
A61632 | But is it said so, in plain words? |
A61632 | But is not all this true supposing that such new species of Churches be so devised and so imposed? |
A61632 | But is this to be looked for? |
A61632 | But let this pass, what follows?) |
A61632 | But suppose the Indulgence be at present strictly limited to Dissenting Protestants; are we sure it shall always so continue? |
A61632 | But the Apostles never gave any such Rules themselves, about outward Modes of Worship with Ceremonies, Feasts, Fasts, Liturgies,& c. What then? |
A61632 | But were these Churches quiet, after this Separation made? |
A61632 | But what ground is there to suppose so much greater means of Edification in the Separate Congregations? |
A61632 | But what have we to do to judge the Members of other Reformed Churches? |
A61632 | But what if they will not? |
A61632 | But what is all this to the purpose? |
A61632 | But what is there in all this to prove that all the Christians in the whole City were then present, and that this Church would hold them all? |
A61632 | But what is there like that in this Epistle to Leo? |
A61632 | But what is there, which the most inveterate enemies of our Church can charge in her doctrine, as new, as false, as absurd? |
A61632 | But what is this dangerous Secret, that they have hitherto kept in, out of meer veneration to the Church of England? |
A61632 | But what is this notorious doctrine?) |
A61632 | But what is this to the proof of the Congregational way? |
A61632 | But what need all this? |
A61632 | But what new and strong Reason doth he bring for it? |
A61632 | But what then? |
A61632 | But whence comes it to pass, that any who think occasional Communion with us to be lawful, should not think themselves obliged to constant Communion? |
A61632 | But wherein lies the unsufferable malignity of that? |
A61632 | But which of all these necessary duties may not be performed within the terms of the Law? |
A61632 | But which will be the greater advantage to him, to see it spread and increase, or care taken in time to suppress it? |
A61632 | But why should you suspect an Erroneous Conscience in the Case? |
A61632 | But you say, they have the same Faith, and they are very Orthodox; Why then, saith he, do they Separate? |
A61632 | But, Did the whole force of my Argument lie there? |
A61632 | But, Were they not Baptized in this Church, and received into Communion with it as Members of it? |
A61632 | But, What sence can Dr. O. here put upon the being otherwise minded: Otherwise than what? |
A61632 | But, Wherein doth it lie? |
A61632 | But, Whither will not Mens Indiscreet Zeal, and love of their own Fancies carry them, especially after 40 years prescription? |
A61632 | But, Why must the King bear all the blame, if Mens Souls be not provided for according to their own wishes? |
A61632 | But, Will not this equally hold against our Church, if it Excommunicates those who can not conform? |
A61632 | By Whom? |
A61632 | By running from one Communion to another?) |
A61632 | Can Mr. B. imagine, that such Men thought themselves still bound to Preach, although they were silenced by our Laws? |
A61632 | Can Mr. B. satisfie his Mind with such Answers? |
A61632 | Can any thing be plainer, than that the Book was written by the Non- conformists, and that Mr. Rathband was only the Publisher of it? |
A61632 | Can these things cause death, and distill poyson into a soul? |
A61632 | D ● they declare Total Communion lawful? |
A61632 | Did I ever in my life say the least thing tending that way? |
A61632 | Did I ever mention Mr. Rathband''s Testimony as a sufficient proof? |
A61632 | Did I not fear, it was some dreadful thing; some notorious heresie, condemned by one or two at least of the four General Councils? |
A61632 | Did I not mention their going from him to the Anabaptists and Quakers, upon the very same ground? |
A61632 | Did he ever repent of holding that Office to his death? |
A61632 | Did he not command his Disciples to go hear the Scribes and Pharisees, because they sate in Moses Chair? |
A61632 | Did he not go up to the Feasts at Ierusalem, as a Member of the Iewish Church, and frequent the Synagogues? |
A61632 | Did he set up separate Congregations, because a square Cap and a Tippet would not go down with him? |
A61632 | Did not Christ appoint Apostles and give them Commission and Authority for that end? |
A61632 | Did not Cranmer and Ridley, and Hooper, and Farrar, and Latimer, all Bishops of this Church, suffer Martyrdom by their Means? |
A61632 | Did not the Apostles appoint Rulers in the several Churches, and charged the People to obey them? |
A61632 | Did not they in all places, as they planted Churches, appoint Officers to teach and govern them? |
A61632 | Did these Men think, the Apostles Woe be unto me if I Preach not the Gospel, did reach to their case? |
A61632 | Did they not continue in the apostles Doctrine and Fellowship and breaking of Bread and Prayers? |
A61632 | Did they suspect I was turn''d Papist, at such a Time, when all the Nation was set against Popery? |
A61632 | Did they want warmth and zeal for Religion, who burnt at the Stake for it? |
A61632 | Do no you know, what Corah, Dathan, and Abiram suffer''d? |
A61632 | Do not I say as plainly, as words can express it, that a wilful error doth not excuse from sin? |
A61632 | Do not Princes and Governours give an account of their proceedings for the satisfaction of their Subjects minds? |
A61632 | Do they allow this to the Lutheran Churches? |
A61632 | Do they not in other Churches abroad? |
A61632 | Do we declare that we are excited by it to worship God? |
A61632 | Do we not daily see such things to be the fruits of popular elections, where men are concerned for the strength and reputation of their Party? |
A61632 | Do we not know it? |
A61632 | Do we want Discipline? |
A61632 | Do you think the worse of your self because you are called Brownists? |
A61632 | Doth God reveal his Will to the meek, the humble, the inquisitive, the resolute Minds? |
A61632 | Doth Mr. B. believe that all the Christians in these 800 Churches had personal Communion with Theodoret? |
A61632 | Doth he not say, the multitudes were so great in the smaller Churches in the Lent Assemblies, that not a few were stifled and carried home for dead? |
A61632 | Doth he say, or intimate, that all the Christians of the City were present? |
A61632 | Doth it not import an obligation lying on the person? |
A61632 | Doth not Iudgment begin with us? |
A61632 | Doth not Mr. B. confess, That they have too many such among themselves? |
A61632 | Doth not holding up the hand signify and represent? |
A61632 | Doth not this look very improbably? |
A61632 | Doth not this overthrow any other Order or Vnion among Christians but what Christ hath instituted and appointed for them? |
A61632 | Doth that prove an Epistle wherein he vindicates himself from the imputation of Heresie, to be spurious? |
A61632 | Doth the King pretend to do any thing in this matter, but according to the establish''d Laws and Orders of this Church? |
A61632 | Doth the VVord Authorise him, to Administer the Sacraments? |
A61632 | Doth the VVord enjoyn the Minister to Teach diligently? |
A61632 | Doth the nature of Church- discipline lie in that? |
A61632 | Doth this look like a Precept of mutual forbearance, as to the differences then among them? |
A61632 | Either those separarate Meetings are lawful or not; if not, Why doth not Mr. Baxter disown them? |
A61632 | Et comment donc s''imaginer qu''elle ayt changé d''usage? |
A61632 | Et d''oú vient donc, que des Anglois mémes en ont aujourdhuy si mechante opinion,& rompre si temerairement comme ils font, avec Elle? |
A61632 | First, Whether the Apostle speaks of different opinions, or of different practises? |
A61632 | For Gerson putting the question, what the effect of such excommunications is? |
A61632 | For Mr. B. puts this in the front of his Quaere''s; Do you think, that he is a Separatist that meeteth not in the same Parish Church with you? |
A61632 | For faith he to his Father, Why do you require me to put off my Hat in your Presence, and to make this the condition of my staying in your House? |
A61632 | For if the Papists should desire the liberty but of one Church in London, doth that prove they are no more than can make one Congregation? |
A61632 | For my Words are, Is it that they Fear the Reproaches of the People? |
A61632 | For suppose they should be mistaken, doth this error of Conscience justifie their separation, or not? |
A61632 | For the Episcopal Government, what is there in it that is dangerous, and may reasonably alarm mens consciences? |
A61632 | For the Question is not, Whether Abiathar did not deserve to be put out, but to whom it belonged to do it, whether to the King, or the People? |
A61632 | For was there not a Church here settled upon the Reformation in the time of Edward 6. and Queen Elizabeth? |
A61632 | For was there not a Church to be formed in the beginning? |
A61632 | For where do we ever allow such an use of Images in our Church? |
A61632 | For who was it that did govern it? |
A61632 | For whoever thought themselves justly ejected? |
A61632 | For why may not the Church appoint such a Rite of Admission of one of her Members declaring it to be no part of Baptism? |
A61632 | For, Did not they take out Indulgences, Build Meeting Places, and keep up Separate Congregations ever since? |
A61632 | For, What Vnion can be justifiable with those whose terms of Communion are unlawful? |
A61632 | For, What is it which the Papists have more envied and maligned than the Church of England? |
A61632 | For, how do I know when you will have done with your tokens of respect? |
A61632 | For, was not the Government of the Church Aristocratical in the Apostles times? |
A61632 | For, what if Theodoret''s Epistles came out of the Vatican Copy? |
A61632 | From what grounds come they to practise occasional Communion? |
A61632 | From whence it follows, that the main thing in dispute was, whether this Ceremony of washing hands could be omitted, without defiling the conscience? |
A61632 | Hath Dr. O. yielded, that in case some terms of Communion in our Church were not insisted upon, they would give over separation? |
A61632 | Hath not Mr. B. complained with more than ordinary resentment, that they are ready to scorn, and vilifie the gravest wisest Pastors? |
A61632 | Hath not Mr. B. fully set forth the Pride, Ignorance, Censoriousness, Headiness, Rashness of raw and injudicious Zealots? |
A61632 | Hath not the same Doctrine, the same Government, the same manner of Worship, continued in this Church? |
A61632 | Hath our Church made any New Terms of Communion, or alter''d the Old Ones? |
A61632 | Hath this been the temper of our scrupulous Brethren of late? |
A61632 | Have not we Publick, and the Papists only Private Allowance? |
A61632 | Have those of the Congregational way since alter''d their judgments? |
A61632 | He grants the consequence, and cries, What then? |
A61632 | How came it to be changed, from that to a Democratical Form? |
A61632 | How come these Terms of Communion to be so unlawful now; which were then approved by such holy, learned, and excellent men as our first Reformers? |
A61632 | How comes it then so hard for men to understand so easy, so plain, so intelligible a thing? |
A61632 | How comes this to make them more to have Communion with our Church, than the like presence would make them to have Communion with the Roman Church? |
A61632 | How doth that appear? |
A61632 | How doth this appear from the nature of the thing, and the necessary duties of Christians? |
A61632 | How far the Apostles Rule, hath an influence on our present case? |
A61632 | How fully hath Mr. B. set forth the Vngovernable and Factious Humor of this sort of People, and the Pernicious consequences of complying with them? |
A61632 | How many Advances had we presently made for letting in the grossest Idolatry? |
A61632 | How many Divines of the Church of Rome had been quoted, to shew, that they went no further and desired no more than this? |
A61632 | How then comes this to be thought so impossible a case as to the thing it self? |
A61632 | How then could he possibly infer from hence, that I set Man''s Laws above Gods? |
A61632 | How then doth this prove, that I render it impossible, by any Certain Argument, to prove the Existence of a Deity? |
A61632 | How then is it a medium in God''s Worship? |
A61632 | How then? |
A61632 | However, Why all this while, no Constant Communicant with any Church? |
A61632 | However, he thinks this will prove( What, that they differ from us in any substantial part of Worship? |
A61632 | I Ask, How we should come by the sense, but from the words? |
A61632 | I Asked, What the matter was? |
A61632 | I grant it; but is it not expresly said, that the Question was sent up from the Churches, to the Apostles and Presbyters? |
A61632 | If Felicissimus and his Brethren dislike some things in the Church of Carthage, Why may not they go to the Mountains for separate Meetings? |
A61632 | If all the Question be, how all the Congregations in England make up this one Church? |
A61632 | If any Divine of the Church of England had said any thing to this purpose, what out- cries of Popery had been made against us? |
A61632 | If it be a Divine Rule, they are of the National Church as well as we; if it be a humane Rule, how comes consent in this to make a National Church? |
A61632 | If it were a permanent sign of the Cross, would it be for a Testimony to God, or to Men? |
A61632 | If men be negligent in doing their duty, must the Church bear the blame, and this be pleaded for a ground of Separation from her Communion? |
A61632 | If no error will excuse from sin, why is the Question afterwards put by me, What error will excuse? |
A61632 | If not, why are they not proved to be unlawful? |
A61632 | If not, why do they doe any thing relating to Church Government, for which they have no Command in Scripture? |
A61632 | If our Assemblies be built upon that Rock, How can you deny them to be True Churches? |
A61632 | If saving faith be necessary, whether the outward profession of it be sufficient? |
A61632 | If such as these had not been busie at Philippi( where it appears that Iews inhabited) What need St. Paul give so much caution against them? |
A61632 | If the Novatians do think your Discipline too loose, Why should not they joyn together for stricter? |
A61632 | If the good People were imposed upon against their Wills in the choice of Cornelius, Why may not they choose Novatian for their Pastor? |
A61632 | If the same Man puts on finer Clothes at London, than he wears in the Countrey, Is he not the same Man for all that? |
A61632 | If then the Doctrine of our Church be sound, VVhat VVarrant have you to call us Antichrists? |
A61632 | If they ask, how it comes to be one National Church? |
A61632 | If they do, will they be so unjust, as not to allow the same favor and kindness to our own Church? |
A61632 | If they have the same Doctrines, the same Sacraments, For what cause do they set up another Church in opposition to ours? |
A61632 | If this be true, as no doubt Mr. B. believes it, then what such mighty help, or assistance is this to our great Parishes? |
A61632 | If this be unjust, is it separation to be so excommunicated? |
A61632 | If we allowed the Worship of Images to be lawfull, this were a pertinent Question; but since we deny it, what makes all this against us? |
A61632 | If you think such a Separation unlawful, then Why do you pretend to confute my Sermon, which was designed purposely against it? |
A61632 | In it an Objection is thus put; But What shall we say then to the P ● pists? |
A61632 | In what Manner was this necessity of Separation created? |
A61632 | Into what Hard- heartedness have we sinned our selves? |
A61632 | Is Schism indeed become such an inconsiderable and petty inconvenience? |
A61632 | Is all this done for the honor of our Reformation? |
A61632 | Is all this nothing but the natural effect of the levity or volubility of Peoples Minds? |
A61632 | Is it Idolatry, and not to be tolerated in 1680? |
A61632 | Is it Separation, saith Mr. B. to refuse Pastors that are Vsurpers, and have no true Power over them? |
A61632 | Is it a Sin, to break the Churches Communion, or, Is it not? |
A61632 | Is it because they have no right to the Ordinances? |
A61632 | Is it fit for private persons, when Laws are in force, to take upon them to Iudge what Laws are fit to continue, and what not? |
A61632 | Is it fit or reasonable, that the opinion of such persons be taken, concerning the qualifications of their Ministers? |
A61632 | Is it from the Love of Peace and Concord, as Mr. B. saith? |
A61632 | Is it in the Point of Separation, which is the present business? |
A61632 | Is it indeed come to this? |
A61632 | Is it not possible for a Man to speak of Peace before Hannibal, or of Obedience to Government before Julius Caesar? |
A61632 | Is it not said, that the Apostles and Presbyters met to debate it; and that the multitude was silent? |
A61632 | Is it not said, that the Decrees were passed by the Apostles and Presbyters, without any mention of the People? |
A61632 | Is it not then a strange thing he should thus subject the Judgment of Ministerial Knowledge to such a Company of Triers as these? |
A61632 | Is it not therefore a significant and symbolical Ceremony? |
A61632 | Is it not therefore dedicating, covenanting, and sacramental, as much as the sign of the Cross? |
A61632 | Is it that they have not Power to exclude men, whether their faults be Scandalous to the Congregation or not? |
A61632 | Is it then probable this Church at Carthage should consist of one single Congregation? |
A61632 | Is it to God? |
A61632 | Is it to us, even to us, a Crime intolerable to call us to Repentance? |
A61632 | Is not this a Plea common to all? |
A61632 | Is not this a very fair concession to the Papists? |
A61632 | Is not this admirable ingenuity, to rail upon a man, for suppositions of his own making? |
A61632 | Is not this an admirable way of Communicating with our Churches? |
A61632 | Is not this indeed to the purpose? |
A61632 | Is not this just the old Brownists Argument? |
A61632 | Is not this now a more likely way to reduce the far greatest part of Christianity to Paganism than denying the lawfulness of Separation? |
A61632 | Is our Worship directed to it? |
A61632 | Is such a Consociation of Churches a Duty or not, in such cases? |
A61632 | Is the thing grown so much darker than formerly? |
A61632 | Is there an indispensable obligation to do one part of your duty, and none at all to the other? |
A61632 | Is there no hopes to bring the People to a better temper, and more judgement? |
A61632 | Is there no positive Rule or Direction in this matter? |
A61632 | Is there no way, but to your Tents O Israel? |
A61632 | Is there not Crying Sin with us? |
A61632 | Is this observed in any one Meeting in London, or through England? |
A61632 | Is this the truth of the case indeed? |
A61632 | Is this the way to mend the matter, and to make them grave and wise? |
A61632 | Is this your Ingenuity, your Gratitude, your Christian Temper? |
A61632 | It is but a slender evasion, which they use, when they call these onely voluntary Combinations, for what are all Churches else? |
A61632 | It is lawful, saith Mr. B. to have Communion with the French, Dutch, or Greek Church, Must constant Communion therefore with them be a duty? |
A61632 | It is true the Brethren were present at the nomination of a new Apostle: but were not the Women so too? |
A61632 | It now remains, that we consider whether the restraint of Discipline in our Parochial Churches doth overthrow their Constitution? |
A61632 | Lastly, Doth the VVord Authorise the Minister to execute the Censures and Discipline of Christ? |
A61632 | Let any Man now Iudge, whether this be the discourse of one that rendred it impossible, by any certain Argument, to prove the Existence of a Deity? |
A61632 | M ● ● t we needs therefore never hold fast that which is good? |
A61632 | Mr. B. appearing very warm in this business, what doth Mr. A. coming after him, but make it the very first and fundamental Ground of their Separation? |
A61632 | Mr. B. indeed acts agreeably to his Principles, in coming to our Liturgy; but Where are all the rest? |
A61632 | Must all have equal Votes? |
A61632 | Must he therefore derive his power from it? |
A61632 | Must one speak of nothing but Drums and Trumpets before, great Generals? |
A61632 | Must they Separate from them too? |
A61632 | Must we stand still with open Arms, and naked Breasts to receive all the Wounds they are willing to give us? |
A61632 | Nay, doth not Mr. B. in the same place make it lawfull to make an Image an Object or Medium of our consideration exciting our minds to Worship God? |
A61632 | No Obligation upon a Christian to that, equal to the necessity of Preaching? |
A61632 | No, he dares not say that: but what then?) |
A61632 | Not agreeing in the main things? |
A61632 | Not maintaining Occasional Communion with them? |
A61632 | Not owning their Churches to be true? |
A61632 | Not, in exposing the particular faults of some Men, and laying them to the charge of the whole Party? |
A61632 | Not, in raking into old Sores, or looking back to the proceedings of former times? |
A61632 | Not, in sharp and provoking reflections on Mens Persons? |
A61632 | Now I Ask, If there be not as great an obligation at least, upon Christians to preserve Peace in the Church, as with all Men? |
A61632 | Now I would fain know, what Churches these men are of? |
A61632 | Now where is it, that our Church excludes such a representation? |
A61632 | Now wherein is it that our Diocesan Episcopacy destroys the being of Parochial Churches for want of the Power of Discipline? |
A61632 | Now, Is not Discipline one of God''s Ordinances? |
A61632 | Now, what a strange piece of crosness is this, to dispute the lawfulness of doing it at Church, because we do it not at the Market- place? |
A61632 | One Congregation scruples any kind of Order as an unreasonable Imposition and restraint of the Spirit, is Separation on that account lawful? |
A61632 | Or is it, that they are bound to justify what they doe, and to prosecute the Person for those faults for which they put him back from the Communion? |
A61632 | Or that they did any thing which deserved so severe a punishment? |
A61632 | Or was it no Idolatry then, but is become so now, and intolerable Idolatry too? |
A61632 | Or whether Sung in a Cathedral Tune, or as set by a Parish Clerk? |
A61632 | Pool''s Synopsis? |
A61632 | Pour le gouvernement Episcopal, qu''a t''il qui soit dangereux,& qui puisse raisonnablement alarmer des consciences? |
A61632 | Principles, the People are not bound to Separate from such a Man, notwithstanding his other Abilities? |
A61632 | Quels funestes effets ne produiroit pas une telle separation si elle s''établissoit au milieu de vous? |
A61632 | Qui estce qui y fit resveiller si miraculeusement la verité? |
A61632 | Rules for the Government of his Church; which we are bound to observe, and which are not observed in Parochial Churches? |
A61632 | Say you so? |
A61632 | Secondly, Whether the Rule which the Apostle layes down, be only a Rule of mutual forbearance? |
A61632 | Suppose a man be privately and effectually dealt with to withdraw himself, is not this sufficient? |
A61632 | Suppose not, doth this prove that the Churches Power was then Democratical? |
A61632 | Suppose that; But doth not Mr. B. say, That the rawest and rashest Professors are commonly the most violent and censorious? |
A61632 | Suppose this were meerly excommunication for so long; would not Calvin have thought them Schismaticks for all that? |
A61632 | That is a good ground so far, as it goes, But will it not carry a Man farther, if he pursue it, as he ought to do? |
A61632 | That is not our question, but whether our Parochial Churches have lost their being for want of the Power of Discipline? |
A61632 | That these Officers of the Church were not chosen by the People, but appointed by the Apostles, or other great Men, according to their Order? |
A61632 | That they do not deny, at least some of our Parochial Churches to be true Churches: but why then do they deny Communion with them? |
A61632 | The Plea is, Tenderness of Conscience; the Question is, Whether this Plea be sufficient to justifie Separation? |
A61632 | The Question is not, Whether all Publick Worship be sinful, when forbidden? |
A61632 | Then we are to consider, how far a wilfull mistake or error of Conscience, will justifie men? |
A61632 | Thirdly, How far this Rule hath an influence on our case? |
A61632 | This then being my opinion concerning their Practices, Was this a fault in me, to shew some reason for it? |
A61632 | To the choosing of new Pastors? |
A61632 | To what end doth he mention Valens and Hunericus that cut out of the Preachers Tongues, and several other unbecoming Insinuations? |
A61632 | Very well: but where is the entireness of the power of every single Congregation, the mean while? |
A61632 | Was it Unseasonable to perswade Protestants to Peace and Unity? |
A61632 | Was it not in the Apostles? |
A61632 | Was it not the Bishops? |
A61632 | Was it unlawful to desire a Liberty of Separate Congregations, as the Dissenting Brethren did, because of some Scruples of Conscience in them? |
A61632 | Was not his own Doctrine incomparably beyond theirs? |
A61632 | Was not the same Authority, the same charge as to both of them? |
A61632 | Was not this to shew Mens Obligation to come and Worship there, as well, as that the place was to be kept Sacred for that use? |
A61632 | Was there not the same devotedness, in Ordination to the faithful Administration of Sacraments, as to Preaching the Gospel? |
A61632 | Was there not the same promise and engagement to give faithful diligence to Minister the Doctrine and Sacraments? |
A61632 | Was this the Suspicion they had of the Kindness, and their Wisdom in joyning with the Conformists? |
A61632 | We acknowledge no adorations, but what are due to the Divine Majesty; and do these need to be excused? |
A61632 | We much doubt it, say they, Why so? |
A61632 | Were not the same Ceremonies then appointed? |
A61632 | Were not their Churches first gathered out of Presbyterian Congregations? |
A61632 | Were not then the several Pastours and Teachers invested with a Power superiour to that of the People and independent upon them? |
A61632 | Were they not a Church then? |
A61632 | Were they not arrived to that measure of attainments, or comprehension of the Truths of the Gospel, that men in our Age are come to? |
A61632 | Were they under a cloudy, and dark, and Iewish Dispensation; and all the clear Gospel Light of Division and Separation reserved for our times? |
A61632 | What Authority the Bishop hath, by virtue of his Consecration, in this Church? |
A61632 | What Divine Enforcements of them on the Consciences of Men in the Writings of Christ and his Apostles? |
A61632 | What False Doctrine I had Preached? |
A61632 | What Sophisters arguments are these? |
A61632 | What a great impertinency had both these been, if the Presbyters Power had been quite swallowed up by the Bishops? |
A61632 | What a malicious way of Reproaching is this? |
A61632 | What a stir do you Cyprian make in your Epistles about keeping the Peace of the Church, and submitting to your Rules of Discipline? |
A61632 | What admirable Arguments are there to Peace and Vnity among Christians? |
A61632 | What are those Rules? |
A61632 | What color, or pretence is there from the largeness of them, that he should Preach to the very same persons, who come to our Churches? |
A61632 | What contradiction may be allowed to make a profession not serious? |
A61632 | What deadly effects would not such a separation produce if it were established amongst you? |
A61632 | What doth the man mean? |
A61632 | What endless confusions do such Principles tend to? |
A61632 | What harm is there in all this? |
A61632 | What if Leontius saith that Hereticks feigned Epistles in Theodoret''s name? |
A61632 | What if several Epistles of his are lost, which Nicephorus saw, doth that prove all that are remaining to be counterfeit? |
A61632 | What is it then, that is so denied and disputed against, and such a flood of words is poured out about? |
A61632 | What is it they have more wished to see broken in pieces? |
A61632 | What is it they have used more Arts and Instruments to destroy, than the Constitution and Government of this Church? |
A61632 | What is the reason of all this rage and bitterness? |
A61632 | What is the reason of such a severe saying? |
A61632 | What is there in this case, but is every whit as justifiable, as the present separation? |
A61632 | What is there more? |
A61632 | What is this to Princes imposing what Religion they please? |
A61632 | What is this, but joyning for a Toleration of Popery? |
A61632 | What makes this wonderful difference of eye- sight? |
A61632 | What need all this dispute concerning the Priviledges of the Law? |
A61632 | What need this publick Admonition by name? |
A61632 | What need was there, of letting fall any passages tending this way? |
A61632 | What part of Worship did he ever withdraw from? |
A61632 | What place was there large enough to receive them, when they met for Prayer and Sacraments? |
A61632 | What strange cavilling is this? |
A61632 | What then is to be done in this case, if Men think themselves unjustly cast out? |
A61632 | What then? |
A61632 | What thinks he of Mathematical, or Metaphysical Certainty? |
A61632 | What was this Communion intended for? |
A61632 | What we must judge real seriousness in profession, as distinct from inward sincerity? |
A61632 | What will not Men say in defence of their own practice? |
A61632 | What, as much as kneeling before a Crucifix? |
A61632 | What, if I should deny the continuance of the Roman Empire? |
A61632 | What, in opposing our Ceremonies, when Hooper himself yielded in that which he at first scrupled? |
A61632 | What, no Church among us fit for him to be a Member of? |
A61632 | When and where is innovation without opposition? |
A61632 | When could it be more seasonable, than when the sence of their danger is greatest upon them? |
A61632 | When there were 46 Presbyters at Rome, had it not been fair to have divided them? |
A61632 | When will God give us Repentance unto Life? |
A61632 | Whence come all these difficulties now to be raised about this matter? |
A61632 | Where are they to be found? |
A61632 | Where hath the Church of Rome more Labourers, and a greater harvest, than under the greatest Liberty of Conscience? |
A61632 | Where is there the least ground in Scripture, to intimate, that Christ only kept occasional, and not constant communion with the Iewish Church? |
A61632 | Where lies the strength and evidence of these Scruples? |
A61632 | Where was the Church power then lodged? |
A61632 | Where we see plainly the inconvenience urged is endless Separation: Doth he set any kind of bounds to it? |
A61632 | Where, say I, are the words that forbid a Liturgy, or Ceremonies? |
A61632 | Wherefore then doth Mr. B. make so many Quaeres, about the case of those who lived under Heathen Persecutors? |
A61632 | Wherein? |
A61632 | Whether besides a serious profession it be not necessary to be a practical profession? |
A61632 | Whether besides meer practical profession the positive signs of inward Grace be not necessary? |
A61632 | Whether portions of Canonical Scripture were not better put in stead of Apocrypha Lessons? |
A61632 | Whether profession be required for it self, or as a discovery of something further? |
A61632 | Whether seeming seriousness in profession be sufficient, or real serio ● sness be required? |
A61632 | Whether such Publick Worship, as may have an evil in it, antecedent to that Prohibition, may not be forbidden? |
A61632 | Whether that ought to be taken for a true profession which is only pretended to be a true sign of the mind, or that only which is really so? |
A61632 | Whether the Apostle speaks of different opinions, or different practises? |
A61632 | Whether the New Translation of the Psalms were not fitter to be used, at least in Parochial Churches? |
A61632 | Whether the Rule he gives be mutual forbearance? |
A61632 | Whether those expressions which suppose the strict exercise of Discipline, in Burying the Dead, were not better left at liberty in our present Case? |
A61632 | Which all men who pretended any regard to conscience ought to have an eye to: for why do they pretend conscience, but to ● void sin? |
A61632 | Who ever denied or disputed that? |
A61632 | Who ever denied this, where there was a prospect of converting more, as appears by the endeavours of Eulogius and Protogenes there? |
A61632 | Who was it that combated the Heresies with which it has been at all times assaulted? |
A61632 | Who was it that did make up its Councils, as well General, as particular? |
A61632 | Who was it that made the truth to rise so miraculously there again? |
A61632 | Why desire ye a Toleration? |
A61632 | Why did he not keep to the good old Phrase of King and Parliament? |
A61632 | Why do you also transgress the Commandment of God by your Tradition? |
A61632 | Why do you so often cry out of the sacrilegiousness of this Schism? |
A61632 | Why is this Dissembled and passed over? |
A61632 | Why may not honest men be cured of their errors and mistakes, as I am perswaded these are such which they call Scruples? |
A61632 | Why may not, saith he, an Image give warning to the Eye, when to worship God, as well as a Bell to the Ear? |
A61632 | Why might not the People at Salem have the same liberty as those at Boston or Plymouth? |
A61632 | Why should Caecilian be obtruded upon them? |
A61632 | Why should it then be thought unreasonable with us, not to account those members of the Church of England, who contemn and disobey the Orders of it? |
A61632 | Why should not they choose one, who would best advance their Edification? |
A61632 | Why so? |
A61632 | Why then are Infants baptized, when by reason of their tender age, they can not perform them? |
A61632 | Why then do you make such a stir about other passages in that Book, and take so little notice of these, which are most pertinent and material? |
A61632 | Why then should this be scrupled more than the other? |
A61632 | Will God leave us also, even us, to the Obdurateness of Pharaoh? |
A61632 | Will none of your Consciences now permit you either to come to the Liturgy, or to make use of any parts of it, in your own Meetings? |
A61632 | Will nothing but Separation serve your Turn? |
A61632 | Will they condemn so many Protestant Churches abroad, which have harder Terms of communion than we? |
A61632 | Will they confine the Communion of Christians to their Narrow Scantlings? |
A61632 | Will they shut out all the Lutheran Churches from any possibility of Vnion with them? |
A61632 | Will they then Separate from all Protestant Churches? |
A61632 | Will you make no allowance to the levity and volubility of Mens Minds? |
A61632 | Will you proclaim you selves to be the more impatient? |
A61632 | Would not Mr. G. Mr. B. Mr. C. and many more, think themselves concerned to stand up for their own Rights? |
A61632 | Would one think, what unlucky Inferences he draws from hence? |
A61632 | Would you have excommunicate men communicate with you? |
A61632 | Yet after all, What is this to the present case of Separation in this City? |
A61632 | Yet let us suppose all these excluded, as no competent Iudges; shall all the rest be excluded too, who are incompetent Iudges? |
A61632 | You will ask then, where lies this horrible imposition, and intolerable usurpation? |
A61632 | and if they were sinful, How could they who knowingly and deliberately continue in the Practice of them be innocent? |
A61632 | and is it not equally unlawful in others, who have no more but Scruples of Conscience to plead, although they relate to different things? |
A61632 | and sitting down, as he speaks, with purer Administrations? |
A61632 | and supposing, that it might be done, whether it be reasonable so to doe? |
A61632 | and what is necessary for the judging a profession to be practical? |
A61632 | and whether the Species of our Churches be changed by Diocesan Episcopacy? |
A61632 | and, Must the Reins be laid in their Necks, that they may run whither they please? |
A61632 | are they lawful, or are they not? |
A61632 | are we to expect the Laws of Men should work more upon them than the Grace of God? |
A61632 | as true Churches, though he saith they are not? |
A61632 | but whether in a Nation professing true Religion, some publick Worship may not be forbidden? |
A61632 | for personal Communion, and men make another, is not this a violation of Christ''s Command, and setting up Man against God? |
A61632 | fut ce pas le zele,& la fermeté des evéques, leur ministere? |
A61632 | how can such a consent appear, when there are differences among our selves? |
A61632 | how come they not to be of it for not consenting? |
A61632 | if he crosseth their humor, and delivers such Doctrine as doth not please them; for that is generally their Standard for Heresie? |
A61632 | in such a City of Christians, as Rome then was, where were 46 Presbyters, to pronounce it a meer nullity to have a second Bishop chosen? |
A61632 | must it therefore be such an outward visible sign of inward invisible Grace, as the Sacraments are? |
A61632 | or do they lose their Right to all Church- communion? |
A61632 | or is it wire- drawn by far- fetched Consequences? |
A61632 | or that all the Christians then in Carthage could have local and presential Communion, as he calls it, in one Church; and at one Altar? |
A61632 | or the Arian Emperors, or Idolatorous Princes? |
A61632 | or were absent, though the Croud was so great? |
A61632 | or, Must we give that respect to the Errors of Mens Consciences, as to satisfie their Scruples, by allowance of this liberty to them? |
A61632 | or, Who have Written more against them? |
A61632 | or, do we kneel before it, as Mr. B. allows men may do before a Crucifix? |
A61632 | shall these differences still be continued, when they may be so easily removed? |
A61632 | that none of them went to the lesser Churches? |
A61632 | that they might give them Power? |
A61632 | the same Liturgy in Substance then used? |
A61632 | then, saith he, why do we not introduce Images into our Churches? |
A61632 | was not the matter in hand about the duty of complying with an established Rule? |
A61632 | when St. Antholins, St. Peters, St. Bartholomews, at which Gilby saith their great Preaching then was, were like to be left destitute of such Men? |
A61632 | when the matter of fact is proved by other Epistles? |
A61632 | whether every single Congregation hath all Church- power wholly in it self, and unaccountably, as to subordination to any other? |
A61632 | who had Written so much against it, when others, who are now so fierce, were afraid to appear? |
A61632 | why are no Anabaptists or Quakers permitted among them? |
A61632 | why had not Mr. Williams his liberty of Separation as well as they? |
A61632 | would Mr. B. seek a Cause to express his anger against me? |
A61632 | you would have Men enslave their Iudgments and consciences to others, would you? |
A61632 | you would have us be meer Brutes to be managed by your Bit and Bridle? |
A26924 | & c. Do you think that all will consent in all the Mysteries of Divinity, while knowledge is so low and rare? |
A26924 | & c. Doth it follow that all rapists are rebels? |
A26924 | & c. and you may hear how many others come near to the same Case: And must so famous a City as L ● ndon be Paganized or made so Atheistical? |
A26924 | ( And little know we of What Religion their Successors will be, or who will have the choosing of them? |
A26924 | 23. that all their Forefathers persecutions should be punished on that Generation? |
A26924 | 3. Who be they that have caused and continued it after 27 Years Experience of the effects? |
A26924 | 4. Who is it troubles the Land with their things Indifferent? |
A26924 | 47. Who is it that was, or is able to cure all these our divisions? |
A26924 | ARe we not on all sides agreed that we are Mortals posting to the Grave? |
A26924 | Ad hominem I need not dispute it? |
A26924 | All power may be abused; shall we have no King, no Judge, or Justice, or Bishops, because they may abuse their power? |
A26924 | And I ask such Doctors what baptism doth for the Infants at present and on what account? |
A26924 | And I pray you tell us where and when it is that men must obey this rule? |
A26924 | And are not most of your hearers such as you think have least need? |
A26924 | And are not the Church- wardens bound to present all these Thousands, that have no Room? |
A26924 | And are not these to pay to the Church, that can not come in it; and the Weak that can not stand and can get no Seats? |
A26924 | And are not those over- subject to Prelacy that will Swear Obedience in this, any more than against Preaching the Gospel? |
A26924 | And are our Bishops Books more faultless? |
A26924 | And are our Convocation more infallible than General Councils? |
A26924 | And are they not all then hereby bound? |
A26924 | And are you willing to renounce Justice, Humanity and Christianity, and openly to profess Diabolism? |
A26924 | And at what age must this perfect knowledge begin, which must extend to the most minute things that men will command? |
A26924 | And can Ten thousand Ministers then be certain by Scripture that baptized Infants are saved? |
A26924 | And can any Minister be supposed to have more interest in, or influence on his Hearers, than a Father hath on his Son? |
A26924 | And did not the Papists always know that our Love and Concord would be our strength, and their terrour? |
A26924 | And do all understand and keep this Vow? |
A26924 | And do not all the Idolatrous Heathens, and the Mahometans, offer their God some publick Worship? |
A26924 | And do you think that Christ will stand to such an Excommunication? |
A26924 | And do you think that for such fear, and not acting against them we deserve to be cast out as heinous uncapable delinquents? |
A26924 | And do you think that one Lord- Keeper is fitter to be trusted with the Safety of the Kingdom, than a Parliament and all the Courts of Justice? |
A26924 | And do you think that the Mass is no Conventicle, or more lawful than the forbidden assemblies of Protestants? |
A26924 | And do you think that the effect of Spanish and Italian Tyranny and Concord, doth answer the cost? |
A26924 | And do you think then that to deprive the Church of this is a lawful part of Conformity? |
A26924 | And doth not this contain a Fear of sinning? |
A26924 | And for the people to be put to question whether they may chuse them for Parliament men? |
A26924 | And for what? |
A26924 | And for what? |
A26924 | And for what? |
A26924 | And for what? |
A26924 | And for what? |
A26924 | And hath a Christian Prince any more power to hinder the Gospel and Worship of Christ, and the saving of Souls, than Heathens had? |
A26924 | And have you done well to judge before you heard and tryed? |
A26924 | And how can it be expected that he who thinks not Holiness desireable to himself, should think it any excellency in others? |
A26924 | And how can these admonish the Offenders, or the Minister exercise this discipline upon unknown Persons? |
A26924 | And how is Christ''s discipline here possible? |
A26924 | And how oft have a great part of the Greek Churches been guilty of it? |
A26924 | And if Meeting- Chapels be wanting, why do not the great and rich Conformists build them? |
A26924 | And if any of them have a scrupulous errour about a Pastor, must they therefore be Ruined, Excommunicated or Forsaken? |
A26924 | And if my Service be at an end, why not my Life also? |
A26924 | And if we prove Ionasses, may we not expect to meet with Storms more terrible than Jails? |
A26924 | And if you would not say to such, You shall have the Physician which the Patron chooseth or none; Why should you say so of the Pastor? |
A26924 | And is it any wonder then if they scorn both Him and us? |
A26924 | And is it just to wish it had been all undone, and the like of many hundred others? |
A26924 | And is it lawful to Assent and Consent to such orders of Baptism as cherish this? |
A26924 | And is it no sinful omission think you for all the rest to forbear all this? |
A26924 | And is it not a calling fixed during life and ability, not to be cast off at pleasure? |
A26924 | And is it not all one, as to say, if any good be done by Church- Government, it is by the Magistrate''s Sword, and not by ours by the Keys? |
A26924 | And is neither our Preaching, nor the Concord of the Churches here Necessary? |
A26924 | And is not God''s Word a sufficient Rule of Religion? |
A26924 | And is not all this yet enough? |
A26924 | And is not every Chancellor, or Archdeacon, or Bishop now made as immutable necessary a part of the Kingdom as the King? |
A26924 | And is not the King''s life and welfare the interest of the Kingdom? |
A26924 | And is not the perfidious Violation of it, a most damning Sin? |
A26924 | And is not the scrupling of a thing called by others Indifferent, a mote in the eye of many truly godly persons? |
A26924 | And is not this commendable, and to be cherished? |
A26924 | And is not this enough? |
A26924 | And is not this to shut all, or almost all men out of Heaven? |
A26924 | And is striving or mutual Love and Quietness, a fitter Passage to the dust? |
A26924 | And is there not a Concord in their way among the enslaved ignorant Muscovites, and among the Turks, and many Heathens? |
A26924 | And is this power more concerned in any thing than in the saving of our Souls? |
A26924 | And know you not that few men then living wrote and spake more plainly against the Usurpation than he did? |
A26924 | And may I not hope that the Bishops will be for it? |
A26924 | And may not these come to the Altar when they please? |
A26924 | And may they be resisted till they shew their Commissions? |
A26924 | And may we say that King and Parliament do what these do? |
A26924 | And must I tell them all that none of them is bound to keep it in that sound sence? |
A26924 | And must all p ● or Souls have no other Pastors than these men will chuse? |
A26924 | And must love God above all, our neighbours as our selves, and must do as we would be done by? |
A26924 | And must not Christians publickly worship Christ? |
A26924 | And must we all confederate to maintain this Church Corruption; and all agree to renounce Reformation, or any Conviction tending to Repentance? |
A26924 | And must we damn, and cut off men for that which the very Papists leave at liberty? |
A26924 | And must we renounce communion with them all? |
A26924 | And no Wiser Law and Gospel that He hath left us? |
A26924 | And now what mean you by saying that every Man must not be left to chuse what Religion he list? |
A26924 | And of Preaching, Fasting and Praying? |
A26924 | And on what sort of Men? |
A26924 | And quo jure? |
A26924 | And shall all the Lords, Gentlemen and People be therefore punished as Conventiclers? |
A26924 | And shall all the World be driven therefore from worshipping God? |
A26924 | And shall all these suffer as Recusants, while the Rich that can pay for Seats, escape? |
A26924 | And since policy hath setled it of late in Peace, what a Peace is it, and of what effect? |
A26924 | And the Parents- Government of his Children, in order to personal and family wellfare? |
A26924 | And the sense and experience of their Souls tells them how great the change of their condition is? |
A26924 | And this in those that are called by men? |
A26924 | And was it not formed according to this Canon? |
A26924 | And were all these fools, and you only the wise men? |
A26924 | And what a Priest is that who must be forbidden to teach the people in the Church: or there to tell Children the meaning of the Catechism? |
A26924 | And what are other mens actions to them? |
A26924 | And what are we better than Turks and Heathens? |
A26924 | And what have you against this? |
A26924 | And what if the Clergy in one Land say it is, and in another, say it is not: Must both be believed? |
A26924 | And what if they say that we are Turks or Heathens, or have Horns and are Brutes, what remedy have we? |
A26924 | And what is it that the unconscionable will not do, for worldly interest? |
A26924 | And what is it that would satisfy you?] |
A26924 | And what is that Vice? |
A26924 | And what yet can I do worse? |
A26924 | And when Thousands of full Age are yet to learn what Baptism is, and what they Vowed, Have they not great need to be plainly taught it? |
A26924 | And when it''s known that they can not have it in most or many Parishes, how are they bound to live and die without the benefit of it? |
A26924 | And where do you see any great division about any such things as these; except in cases of accidental scandal? |
A26924 | And whether if the whole Church Government as fixed, must thus be Sworn to as Monarchy is, it alter not our Constitution? |
A26924 | And whether no man may endeavour it in his place and calling? |
A26924 | And who knoweth not that indifferent things are numberless, as well as small; no mortal man knoweth them all? |
A26924 | And why are the rest that were Boys at School, accused for other Mens opinions or actions? |
A26924 | And why call you it arrogant and dividing? |
A26924 | And why may not an Article of Faith be newly declared? |
A26924 | And why must that Neighbour Minister repel him? |
A26924 | And why then are Judges Sworn not to be moved from Justice by the Great or Little Seal? |
A26924 | And will this prove them such indeed? |
A26924 | And will you join with none? |
A26924 | And would they have us shut Infants from Salvation for nothing? |
A26924 | And would you have all the Christian World, forbid one another to Worship God, till they all agree? |
A26924 | And would you have all these Thousands turn Atheists, or live more impiously than Mahometans? |
A26924 | And would you have us so unthankful to God, who hath blest us, as to cast away our Callings? |
A26924 | And yet must we have more, even as necessary to Ministry? |
A26924 | And you know that till of late years the Press was shut up to us: But have you seriously read and studyed what is written by us? |
A26924 | And you see that the Oxford Convocation condemn the writings and principles of the Doctors of the Church of England as well as others? |
A26924 | And, Why doth the Article of the Church of England condemn those that hold, That all may be saved in their several Religions? |
A26924 | Are not all Men on Earth bound solemnly to worship the God that made them? |
A26924 | Are not all those sad effects of turning a Church into a Prison, and forcing men to seem to take that which Christ professeth he doth not give them? |
A26924 | Are not most of them in the Parishes where there is room? |
A26924 | Are not these two very contrary? |
A26924 | Are not they obliged to get Godfathers and Godmothers for them? |
A26924 | Are not those unworthy Ministers that be not fit to be trusted to Fast and Pray with their People, while the Law is open to punish all abuses of it? |
A26924 | Are there no other? |
A26924 | Are these the patterns that you would have us imitate? |
A26924 | Are they not more miserable that are content to stay at home? |
A26924 | Are we not all Vowed to God in our Baptism, renouncing the Seduction of the World, the Flesh and the Devil? |
A26924 | Are we not of the same Religion with the Magistrates and Bishops? |
A26924 | Are you not bound in order to peace, to Assent and Consent to all things in the Books? |
A26924 | Are you such your selves? |
A26924 | Art they therefore Schismaticks indeed? |
A26924 | As if he had said, As ever you loved me, feed those whom I loved to the Death: Would you unmercifully wish us to renounce our love to Christ? |
A26924 | Baptising is Christening, and dare I causelessly deprive a Soul of visible Christianity? |
A26924 | Be such things imposed as Indifferent? |
A26924 | But I further ask you, Do you think the Law of Man, or a Commission can abrogate the Law of Nature? |
A26924 | But I next ask, whether the Body of a Kingdom have by Gods Law of Nature a self- defending power against its notorious assaulting Foes? |
A26924 | But If you limit this Rule to Christians, is it to all Christians? |
A26924 | But can that be true? |
A26924 | But do you not thus make Examination by Ministers necessary to the Sacrament? |
A26924 | But do you think that endeavours to alter Church Government is any of your lawful or necessary Matter? |
A26924 | But here is no difficulty? |
A26924 | But how easy were it with others, without sin, or cost to cure all? |
A26924 | But if they grant this, and yet will not grant it, but seek to ruine them that seek it, are they not unexcuseable? |
A26924 | But it is the Parent that is compelled? |
A26924 | But mu ● ● you needs own every petition in the Assembly? |
A26924 | But must we trust every Man that shews a Seal, that he did not counterfeit it? |
A26924 | But what are these easy intelligible Circumstances to all the Ceremonies unnecessary even in genere? |
A26924 | But what is your other reason against our sort of Godfathers? |
A26924 | But what''s that to us? |
A26924 | But when he heard from Heaven, Why persecutest thou me? |
A26924 | But where hath he said, I will save all Infidels Children, if any Priest or Christian will but Baptize them? |
A26924 | But who giveth this exposition? |
