A54146 | Among the very Mahumetans of Turky, and Persia, what variety of opinions, yet what Unity and Concord is there? |
A54146 | And how can the Imposers be secure of their Friendship, whom they have taught to change with the Times? |
A54146 | And lastly, Whether those, who are herein guilty, do to us, as they would be done unto by others? |
A54146 | But do not you see what has been the end of this Separation? |
A54146 | Can any be so Ignorant, or so Malitiou ●, as to believe we do not Assemble to Worship God, to the best of our Understanding? |
A54146 | Did not the Papists harbour the same Thoughts of you? |
A54146 | Eleventhly, It ever was the prudence of wise Magistrates of Obliege their people; but what comes shorter of of it then Persecution? |
A54146 | Have they transmuted it from Antichristian in us, to Christian in themselves? |
A54146 | In short, What Religious, what Wise, what Prudent, what Good- natured Person would be a Persecuter? |
A54146 | Must they be Persecuted here if they do not go against their Conscience, and punished hereafter if they do? |
A54146 | Ninthly, For such persons as are so poor spirited as to truckle under such Restraints; What Conquest is there over them? |
A54146 | No more are we: It was not what they thought of you, or enacted against you, that concluded you: And why should your Apprehensions conclude us? |
A54146 | Now upon the whole we seriously ask, Whether any should be Impo''d upon, or Restrain''d, in matters of Faith and Worship? |
A54146 | The single Question is not, Were you at such a Meeting? |
A54146 | Was it an Instance of Weakness in our Religion, and is''t become a Demonstration in theirs? |
A54146 | What can not they better spare then it? |
A54146 | What if you think our Reasons thick, and our ground of Separation mistaken? |
A54146 | What is this, but to impose an uncertain Faith upon Certain Penalties? |
A54146 | What shall we say then? |
A54146 | What''s dearer to them then the Liberty of their Conscience? |
A54146 | Whether such Practices become the Gospel, or are sutable to Christs Meek Precepts and Suffering Doctrine? |
A54146 | You perswaded as few of them, as we of you: Were you therefore in the Wrong? |
A54146 | or that the same Reasons do not yet remain in vindication of an Indulgeance for others, that were once Employ''d by you for your selves? |
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? |
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? |
A54244 | ( thus far S.S.) Are not they my proper Judges by the Great Charter of England? |
A54244 | 13? |
A54244 | And why? |
A54244 | Answer, Surely our Author had but a small stock of courage, that it should fail him in writing half a dozen Lines, What? |
A54244 | But granting what is said, to be true: Was he accused of Temporizing when a Boy at Cambridge? |
A54244 | But what then? |
A54244 | But why an Hellish One? |
A54244 | But why the FLOWER of the English Army? |
A54244 | Did ever man so Brute himself in Print? |
A54244 | Did he, or any else, ever hear us pretend to own another Light, then in the Phrases, and from the Scriptures before mentioned? |
A54244 | Did not the Lievtenant of the Tower render One of them worse then a Fellon? |
A54244 | Doubtless the Man was toucht: What course Similitudes are these? |
A54244 | How many times do the Scriptures commemorate God and Christ by this Epethite? |
A54244 | Is W. Penn guilty of the matter whereof he stands indicted, in Manner and Form, or not guilty? |
A54244 | Is this according to the Fundamental Laws? |
A54244 | It is intollerable that my Jury should be thus menaced? |
A54244 | The Infererence the Libellers make, is, what doth this but justifie that hellish design of the Papists, to have prevented the first Reformation? |
A54244 | Their main Objection is, That if the Justices be not Judges of Law, How comes it to pass that the Iury asks the sence of the Law at their Mouthes? |
A54244 | Therefore when they brought me in Not Guilty, had they perjudred themselves? |
A54244 | This does but still aggravate: How much S.S. is an Enemy to all truth, What if the Door was broken open? |
A54244 | Was he a Justice or no? |
A54244 | Was he therefore no Temporizer? |
A54244 | Was it unreasonable then, and is it reasonable now? |
A54244 | What hope is there of ever having Justice done, when Juries are cheek ▪ t, and their Verdicts rejected? |
A54244 | What man in his Wits would not despise the Folly and Meanness of this wretched Pedagoge? |
A54244 | What say you? |
A54244 | What, was it not an unlawfull Assembly? |
A54244 | What? |

A54244 | therefore must they not be Iudges of Law, so far as concerns the Fact? |
A31366 | ''t is true( said he) there are Laws against Blasphemers; but what is this to the purpose, except it can be proved that Hereticks are Blasphemers? |
A31366 | And can not the true Church now subsist, with that which she had in the Begining? |
A31366 | And how shall the Magistrate be assured of the Odiousness of the Blasphemy, and Crimes? |
A31366 | And what is this reconciling slaughter, with slaughter, and blood with blood, but the manner and custome of the Heathen? |
A31366 | And who are obstinate and stiff- necked Hereticks, or constant upright Christians? |
A31366 | But suppose the Magistrates should refer this to the Divines or Clergy( said he) to judge of, what more assurance shall they have than the Magistrate? |
A31366 | But who can produce a Law out of the holy Scripture, that requires Hereticks to be put to Death? |
A31366 | For how shall a man know a Heretick but by knowing the Cause, whereby a man is made a Heretick? |
A31366 | How think''st thou shall they be able to Pay all the Customes, Taxes, Dues, Rights, and Assessments,& c. that are required in thee of thy Inhabitants? |
A31366 | In summa, Was that notable overturning and remarkable change, which of late happened in thee, to this end? |
A31366 | Or how can this work of tumultuous Teachers, bring honour to Gods Word and his Truth? |
A31366 | Or was the Church of the Apostles no Church? |
A31366 | Or what external Power, or outward defence had their Church in the Beginning? |
A31366 | Or who is there in thee that will willingly relieve and maintain such, if external Poverty should overtake them? |
A31366 | Through what impudency dare you judge them to Death( saith Castellius) that profess the name of Christ? |
A31366 | Were thy Bishops reinstalled to exercise Lordship over Gods Heritage, and to augment the Sufferings of the afflicted in thee? |
A31366 | Were thy high, notional pretended gifted Priests ejected, that they that are more Lewd and Prophane, might be brought in? |
A31366 | What coercive Power or outward Protection had they? |

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 | 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 | 4 Whether those who would force other mens consciences, be willing to have their own forced? |
A91790 | 42 Whether the Saints crave the help of the powers of this world to bring Christ to them, or feare their powers to keep him from them? |
A91790 | 43 If no Religion is to be practised, but that which the Common- wealth shall approve on: what if they will approve of no Religion? |
A91790 | 47 Whether Jesus Christ, appointed any materiall Prisons for Blasphemers of him? |

A62565 | And are they not designed by God for their Instruction, and read either to that purpose, or to none? |
A62565 | And is it possible to instruct Men by what they do not understand? |
A62565 | And what is, if this be not, to shut the Kingdom of Heaven against Men? |
A62565 | And why may they not be used by the People for those Ends for which they were given? |
A62565 | Are the Scriptures so useful and profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Instruction in Righteousness? |
A62565 | Are these directed to God, or to the People only? |
A62565 | But are they in earnest? |
A62565 | But is this all that is intended in the Service of God? |
A62565 | But then what say they to the Lessons and Exhortations of Scripture, which are likewise read to the People in an unknown Tongue? |
A62565 | But what harm were it, if all they that pray understood it also: Or indeed, how can men pray to God without understanding what they ask of him? |
A62565 | Convenient for them, for God, or for the People? |
A62565 | For how can they be said to be publick Prayers if the People do not join in them? |
A62565 | Hath God forbidden the People to look into the Scriptures? |
A62565 | How comes the Case now to be so altered? |
A62565 | If it be enough for the Priest to understand them, why should not the Priest only be present at them? |

A62565 | Is it necessary for Men to understand any thing they do in Religion? |
A62565 | Is it not all one, as to all purposes of Edification, as if the Scriptures were not read, or any thing else in the place of them? |
A62565 | Is not Prayer a part of the Christian Worship? |
A62565 | Is there less of Religion in publick Prayers? |
A62565 | Must not Men know the Truth for fear of falling into Errour? |
A62565 | No, quite contrary: Was it the Practice of the Antient Church to lay this restraint upon Men, or to celebrate the Service of God in an unknown Tongue? |
A62565 | Or are we not as capable of being Edified and of having our hearts and affections moved and incited by them? |
A62565 | Suppose the reading of the Scriptures hath been the occasion of Heresies, were there ever more than in the first Ages of Christianity? |
A62565 | The Scriptures are the Word of God; and from whence can we learn the Will of God so well as from his own Mouth? |
A62565 | Were not People then liable to Errour, and was there no danger of Heresy in those Times? |
A62565 | Were there no difficulties and obscurities then in the Scriptures, capable of being wrested by the Unstable and unlearned? |
A62565 | Where then lies the Difference? |
A62565 | Why does the Church doubt to follow so great an Authority, or rather how dares she to dissent from it? |
A62565 | Why should reasonable Creatures be treated at this rude and barbarous rate? |
A62565 | and how can they join in that they do not understand? |
A62565 | and how should they learn when they do not understand? |
A62565 | and is any Service reasonable that is not directed by our Understandings, and accompanied with our Hearts and Affections? |
A62565 | and to what purpose are Lessons of Scripture read, if People are to learn nothing by them? |
A62565 | does not St. Paul expresly require more? |
A62565 | that( we thank them) they allow, and why not the publick as well? |
A65392 | And will he be favourable no more? |
A65392 | Being farther demanded, how they came so many of them, to be so suddenly agreed in so weighty and doubtful a case? |

A65392 | By what Law? |
A65392 | Can you show a warrant for them? |
A65392 | Did he not make himself a party on the other side, by often using these and the like words, We, Us? |
A65392 | Do I entertain, or maintain them in their actions, wherein they stand against any thing that God hath appointed? |
A65392 | Do you ask me upon point of Conscience? |
A65392 | Have you countenanced, or will you justifie those Seditious practises which have been censured here in this Court? |
A65392 | How hardly will they submit to such Over- seers? |
A65392 | How shall they cohabit and trade together? |
A65392 | If Christ be my Sanctification, what need I look to any thing in myself, to evidence my Iustification? |
A65392 | If a Man in distress of Conscience, or other temptation,& c. should come and ask your counsel in private, might you not teach him? |
A65392 | It was answered neither, but as suspected only; Then he demanded who were his Accusers? |
A65392 | Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
A65392 | Must I shew my Name written therein? |
A65392 | None saith, Where is God that made me, which giveth Songs in the night? |
A65392 | Put case I do fear the Lord, and my Parent do not, May not I entertain one that fears the Lord, because my Father will not let me? |
A65392 | She Answered; How did Abraham know that it was the Voice of God, when he commanded him to Sacrifice his Son? |
A65392 | Tantaene animis coelestibus irae? |
A65392 | That is nothing to the purpose, but we can not stand to dispute causes with you now; What say you to your weekly publick Meetings? |
A65392 | To this we reply, first, We would demand of him what he accounts a holding forth a Covenant of Grace? |
A65392 | We are not to Pray against all sin, because the old Man is in us, and must be; And why should we Pray against that which can not be avoided? |
A65392 | We do desire therefore to know of you, whether you will justifie and maintain what is laid to your charge or not? |
A65392 | What Law have they transgressed; the Law of God? |
A65392 | When she had thus vented her Mind, the Court demanded of her, how she expected to be delivered, whether by Miracle as Daniel was? |
A65392 | When they came first unto her, she asked from whom they came, and what was their business? |
A65392 | Where is boasting then? |
A65392 | Why may not the Pastor, upon such grounds, leave his People, as well as they him, considering the Tie is equal on both parts? |
A65392 | Will you please to give me a rule against it, and I will yield? |

A28594 | 6. have not Persecutors alway come to some fearful end? |
A28594 | And dare ye resolutely Provoke the Lord to jealousie, are ye stronger than he? |
A28594 | And for the casting of Daniel into the Lions Den? |
A28594 | And will not God( think you) avenge his own Elect which cry day and night into him? |
A28594 | Are not the Informers and Persecutors of our Days like unto those that were before them? |
A28594 | Are there any so unjust, so False, so exorbitantly Vicious, Lewd, and Debauch''d as they? |
A28594 | But is it not very Unjust to say they are Rebellious, and not prove any thing of this Nature against them? |
A28594 | Can you deny these sufferers? |
A28594 | Can you withhold any thing from Christ, imploring and beseeching your Commiseration in these his afflicted, persecuted Members? |
A28594 | Can you, together with outward Compulsion, infuse into their minds an affectionate Love to, and unfeigned Approbation of our Service and worship? |

A28594 | How variously and strangely has God testified his Displeasure and Wrath against Persecutors? |
A28594 | I shall now inquire whence it is that wicked Men are such bitter and inveterate Enemies against the Godly? |
A28594 | Is it not because they hope they shall find all precious Substance, and shall fill their Houses with Spoil? |
A28594 | Is it not evident to all that they are notorious for Perjury, Falsness, Drunkenness, Whoredom, Prophane and common Swearing? |
A28594 | Is not this to write after the most extravagant Instance we have in the French Persecutors? |
A28594 | Or who are the Enemies of it? |
A28594 | Suppose you should force many to come within the Doors of our Churches, by harsh and severe Proceedings, what is our Church the better for this? |
A28594 | The learned Bishop of St. Asaph, does determine the Question, who are the Church of God? |
A28594 | Was he not a Covetous Mercenary Son of Perdition? |
A28594 | Were not they Drunkards that were against David, and made Songs of him? |
A28594 | Were they not a couple of perjured Miscreants? |

A28594 | What an obdurate Caitiff and Villain was Cain that slew his own Brother, because more Holy, and consequently better accepted with God than he was? |
A28594 | What is the Reason Sinners do excite one another to wait for Blood, and to lurk privily for the Innocent without Cause? |

A34668 | And how can he be said to do this, if he do not by his power take order that they may duly performe the maine duties of piety commanded by God? |
A34668 | And how then doth this willingnesse, and acting out of love, hinder Mag ● strates from making meet Lawes in matters of Religion? |
A34668 | And if a verse or two out of Ovid be the language of H ● ll, what language use you, who alledge a verse of his? |
A34668 | And is there no difference between such a vast toleration, and a just liberty granted unto tender consciences? |
A34668 | And what is the ground of this foule crime? |
A34668 | And why may we not perceive the Keyes to be at length purged and scoured, as well as all the former? |
A34668 | Arrians, Pap ● sts, Hereticks, and Sectaries of any kinde, as well as to be true, sound, and orthodox Christians? |
A34668 | But what are these Offences that Christ saith must needs be? |
A34668 | But what is this against compulsion to renounce the Idolatry of the Beast and all other Idolatry, and to worship God in his true worship? |
A34668 | But who complains of any wrong herin done them, since the things they be constrained to be just and equall, and for the common good? |
A34668 | For first, Who is there of those that I name expr ● sly, that you will have the face to excuse from the blame of an eroneous Sect? |
A34668 | For if Truth in such Liberty may come in, as well as Heresie, why should there any opposition be made against Heresie by spiritual weapons? |
A34668 | For might some say, To what purpose serves such adoe? |
A34668 | How doth the command of the Magistrate, as it is above laid downe, hinder them in Gods service to be a willing people, or to act out of love? |
A34668 | If they must be, and that by Gods permission,& c. must they therefore be suffered to go on without controll or contradiction? |
A34668 | May we nht as well say ▪ Why should there be any preaching, any writing, any praying or disputing against Heresies? |
A34668 | Num quid quia mor ● s optimi libertate voluntatis ● liguntu ●, id ● o mores pessi ● i non legis integritate puniuntur? |
A34668 | Or where doe I speak of captivating all others to our wills? |
A34668 | This is nothing but the sp ● tting of your rancour: For where doe I mention the Sword of the Magistrate in my Epistle? |
A34668 | To what way doe you so eagerly labour to engage the Sword of the Magistrate? |
A34668 | We read of none in the New Testament that were punish ● d for Whoredome, Incest, Perjury, False witnesse bearing, Drunkennesse,& c. What then? |
A34668 | What I pray, because good manners are chosen by a free good- will, shall not therefore bad manners be punished by sound and wholsome lawes? |
A34668 | What are the words that I use to engage the Sword of the Migistrate against any Religion? |
A34668 | What is this but some spice of Goliah''s termagant spirit, who did defie the whole Host of Israel? |
A34668 | What then? |
A34668 | What? |
A34668 | Whence are these loud words concerning our Infallibility? |
A34668 | Whether the Magistrate ought to compell any man to believe? |
A34668 | Which are Arminians, Antinomians, Soule- mortalists, Antisabbatarians, Seekers and Anabaptists, with rigid irreconcileable Seperatists? |
A34668 | and why should not every way as free a liberty be left for one, as for the other? |
A34668 | may not these with your consent be punished by the civil Magistrate? |
A34668 | must there be a free Toleration of these Iniquities? |

A70175 | 4. and what shall the Christian Magistrate learn from those Judiciall laws, but the will of God to be his rule in like cases? |
A70175 | And if so, what a grand imposture is this? |
A70175 | And must you also brethren, give a wound to the body of Christ? |
A70175 | But is there no golden hook and taking bait for the Magistrate? |
A70175 | Et tu mi fili? |
A70175 | First, they were types of Christ( but by the way how doth he prove that Asa, Jehu, and Josiah were types of Christ?) |
A70175 | Hath not God promised to give us one heart and one way? |
A70175 | Hath not the Mediator( whom the Father heareth alwayes) prayed that all his may be one? |
A70175 | How did the Anabaptists raise and foment the bloudy warre of the Boores in Germany, wherein were killed above 100000 men? |
A70175 | How now, poor Pamphleter? |
A70175 | How shall Christian Magistrates glorifie God more then by observing Gods own laws, as most just, and such as they can not make better? |
A70175 | If it be said, Quorsum haec? |
A70175 | Is Christ divided? |
A70175 | Is it not woven throughout from the top to the bottome? |
A70175 | Is there so much as a seame in all Christs garment? |
A70175 | Lastly, if he would needs storm, why would be not make some new breach? |
A70175 | Let not the Magistrate feare to say to every Achan, Why hast thou troubled us? |
A70175 | Let there be no strife betweene us and you, for we be brethren: and is not the Canaanite and the Perizzite yet in the land? |
A70175 | Next, why did they not prove that it was typicall? |
A70175 | Now therefore what a blockish argument is it, to reason from this Parable against the coercive power of the magistrate in matters of religion? |

A70175 | What commotions did the Arrians make in all the Easterne parts? |
A70175 | What non- sense is here? |
A70175 | Will you have one halfe of Israel to follow Tibni, and another halfe to follow Omri? |
A70175 | is it not enough for you to defend a lying tongue, but you will needs defend pride too? |

A33745 | And being so, what Excuse can there be, why they did not read it? |
A33745 | And do''s his Majesty less than acknowledge it in this Declaration? |
A33745 | And if the Loyalty of the Church of England receive any blemish by it, what can she say, but that she was wounded in the House of her Friends? |
A33745 | And now, when our troubl''d Waters had begun to settle again, what need of whistling up the Winds for another Storm? |
A33745 | And ought not their Practise now, to have made good their Principles? |
A33745 | And the Rents of Lands fallen? |
A33745 | And what greater Assay to it can there be, than Disobedience? |
A33745 | And what is that, but a dispensing with it? |
A33745 | And what would Henry the Eighth have done in such a Case; made use of his last Argument, or thrown up the Game for a few cross Cards? |
A33745 | And why? |
A33745 | But supposing it a matter only cognisable in Parliament, why could not they have held till then, and in the mean time obey''d? |
A33745 | He has in the Word of a King secur''d to them their Religion, Possessions and Properties; And why? |
A33745 | He has pledg''d his Royal Word, and shall we doubt the Truth of it? |
A33745 | No? |
A33745 | No? |
A33745 | Or how then could the Convocation be concern''d in it? |
A33745 | Or that Advice of the present Bishop of Ely to the Church of England, to have been consider''d, and follow''d? |
A33745 | Or that to read any thing in the House of God, is declaring my Consent to it? |
A33745 | Or what made the Jews who had so often acknowledg''d our Savior, turn head against him, and crucifie him? |
A33745 | Or why are they so averse from having them eas''d at present? |
A33745 | That our Neighbors have gotten into our Manufacture? |
A33745 | That our Ships are not so well Mann''d as formerly? |
A33745 | The King has said it, and shall he not perform it? |
A33745 | The Question answers it self: And if the Power of Dispensing with Penal Laws, were not inseparably and unalterably in Him; how could he have done it? |
A33745 | Then why was it not comply''d with? |
A33745 | Vide, utrum Tunica filii tui sit, an non? |
A33745 | What made the Nobles break the Yoak? |
A33745 | What made the People set up Adoniah against David''s disposition of the Crown to Solomon? |
A33745 | What makes us complain of the want of Trade? |
A33745 | Why then have those Penal Laws been executed with so much rigor against them? |
A33745 | c. 1. for using the Common- Prayer in the Vulgar Tongue only: what is meant by it, but that the Queen might lawfully dispense with that Statute? |
A33745 | or must the Kingdom of Heaven be confin''d to a Party? |
A41823 | And doth not these two Words, Wheat and Tares comprehend all mankind? |
A41823 | And how clear is it, that in all Ages it was those that were born after the flesh, that persecuted those that were born after the spirit? |
A41823 | And how plainly walk these in the steps of those, and practise the like things against those that walk in the Spirit and Practice of the Apostles? |
A41823 | And is not this like our case? |
A41823 | And must none take pity of them? |
A41823 | And now, if you would judge the Tree by its Fruits, what can you find of these things in Persecution? |
A41823 | And suppose I did want a right understanding and true Faith,( I say again) do you think that a Prison will help me? |
A41823 | And that which is not of Faith is Sin, is it not? |
A41823 | And what, shall I say you do not know us, who you in scorn call Quakers? |
A41823 | And when they answered, When saw we thee an hungry, thirsty, naked,& c. and did not minister unto thee? |
A41823 | Avoid them, what is that? |
A41823 | But farther, did not Christ command that both Tares and Wheat should grow together? |
A41823 | But instead of a command for Persecution, doth not our Lord Christ prohibit it several times? |
A41823 | Can Prison Walls rectifie mens Understandings? |
A41823 | Can a Prison give Faith? |
A41823 | Can the Prison Walls rectifie my understanding, or give me Faith and Wisdom? |
A41823 | Did ever Christ command the use of a Prison or Fine, or any thing of that nature, to men that would not hear him, nor believe him? |
A41823 | For what? |
A41823 | How like those Priests and Officers are these in our days? |
A41823 | How long shall they utter and speak hard things? |
A41823 | Is this obeying Christ''s command, in laying men in Prison? |
A41823 | Iust Persons,[ mark that] these are none of your Church of miserable Offenders: But let me ask you, Is not Faith the gift of God? |
A41823 | Let me Answer you once more; Suppose you, that the Scripture is to be taken notice of, and the Precepts therein to be minded? |
A41823 | Lord, how long shall the Wicked Triumph? |
A41823 | Seeing I must answer for my self, and stand or fall to my own Master, what have you to do to judge me, who am the Lord''s Servant? |
A41823 | Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? |
A41823 | Suppose we do, what then? |
A41823 | Well, suppose we were not, you ought to love us, if we were your Enemies; But if we be not your Brethren, why do you take Tythes from us? |
A41823 | What can you make for your Practices here? |
A41823 | What ground have you for this? |
A41823 | What mean ye, that ye beat my People to pieces, and grind the faces of the Poor, saith the LORD God of Hosts? |
A41823 | You pretend to be Protestants, and that that Name first came up by protesting against Imposition; and what, is it now to be practised? |
A41823 | You would not take it well to be forc''d to Conform to us, would you? |
A41823 | doth this grieve you? |
A41823 | shall not my Soul be avenged on such a Nation as this? |
A41823 | where is the Power of Godliness to be seen, if not in the sober, honest Quaker, as you call us? |
A48884 | A Modest Enquiry, Whether St. Peter were ever at Rome, and Bishop of that Church? |
A48884 | Against his Will, do you say? |
A48884 | And if he does it not in order to save them, why is he so so sollicitous about the Articies of Faith as to enact them by a Law? |
A48884 | And if some Religious Meetings be private, Who are they( I beseech you) that are to be blamed for it? |
A48884 | And why a Dog so abominable? |
A48884 | Because there is but one way for me to escape Death, will it therefore be safe for me to do whatsoever the Magistrate ordains? |
A48884 | But if one of these Churches hath this Power of treating the other ill, I ask which of them it is to whom that Power belongs, and by what Right? |
A48884 | But it may be asked, By what means then shall Ecclesiastical Laws be established, if they must be thus destitute of all Compulsive Power? |
A48884 | But some may ask, What if the Magistrate should enjoyn any thing by his Authority that appears unlawful to the Conscience of a private Person? |
A48884 | But what if he neglect the Care of his Soul? |
A48884 | But what if the Magistrate believe such a Law as this to be for the publick Good? |
A48884 | But what shall be done in the mean while? |
A48884 | Can you allow of the Presbyterian Discipline? |
A48884 | Does it therefore belong unto the Magistrate to prescribe me a Remedy, because there is but one, and because it is unknown? |
A48884 | For if it were so, how could it come to pass that the Lords of the Earth should differ so vastly as they do in Religious Matters? |
A48884 | For what hinders but a Christian Magistrate may have Subjects that are Iews? |
A48884 | For, if that had been the Reason, why were the Moabites and other Nations to be spared? |
A48884 | I answer: If this be so, Why are there daily such numerous Meetings in Markets, and Courts of Judicature? |
A48884 | I answer: Is this the fault of the Christirn Religion? |
A48884 | I answer; Why, I pray, against his Will? |
A48884 | If civil Jurisdiction extended thus far, what might not lawfully be introduced into Religion? |
A48884 | If he should bid you follow Merchandise for your Livelihood, would you decline that Course for fear it should not succeed? |
A48884 | If we allow the Iews to have private Houses and Dwellings amongst us, Why should we not allow them to have Synagogues? |
A48884 | Is it not both lawful and necessary that they should meet? |
A48884 | Is it permitted to speak Latin in the Market- place? |
A48884 | Is it permitted to worship God in the Roman manner? |
A48884 | It may be said; What if a Church be Idolatrous, is that also to be tolerated by the Magistrate? |
A48884 | Nor when an incensed Deity shall ask us, Who has required these, or such like things at our hands? |
A48884 | Of what Church I beseech you? |
A48884 | Or, shall every one turn Victualler, or Smith, because there are some that maintain their Families plentifully, and grow rich in those Professions? |
A48884 | Or, to make these Subjects rich, shall they all be obliged by Law to become Merchants, or Musicians? |
A48884 | Shall it be provided by Law, that they must consult none but Roman Physicians, and shall every one be bound to live according to their Prescriptions? |
A48884 | Shall we suffer a Pagan to deal and Trade with us, and shall we not suffer him to pray unto and worship God? |
A48884 | These are allowed to People of some one Perswasion: Why not to all? |
A48884 | What Security can be given for the Kingdom of Heaven? |
A48884 | What can be the meaning of their asserting that Kings excommunicated forfeit their Crowns and Kingdoms? |
A48884 | What difference is there whether he lead me himself, or deliver me over to be led by others? |
A48884 | What else do they mean, who teach that Faith is not to be kept with Hereticks? |
A48884 | What shall we conclude from thence? |
A48884 | What, shall no Potion, no Broth, be taken, but what is prepared either in the Vatican, suppose, or in a Geneva Shop? |
A48884 | Who shall be Judge between them? |
A48884 | Why are Assemblies less sufferable in a Church than in a Theater or Market? |
A48884 | Why are Crowds upon the Exchange, and a Concourse of People in Cities suffered? |
A48884 | Why not the sprinkling of the Blood of Beasts in Churches, and Expiations by Water or Fire, and abundance more of this kind? |
A48884 | Why otherwise do they compel one another unto the publick Assemblies? |
A48884 | Why should not the Episcopal also have what they like? |
A48884 | Will any man say, that any Right can be derived unto a Christian Church, over its Brethren, from a Turkish Emperor? |
A48884 | Will the Magistrate provide by an express Law, That such an one shall not become poor or sick? |
A48884 | You will say, what then? |
A48884 | You''ll say; What, will you have People to meet at Divine Service against the Magistrates Will? |
A48884 | those that desire, or those that forbid their being publick? |

A66451 | Do you count us no better then to be swords- meat, and to stop the mouthes of Canons? |
A66451 | Do you take away my liberty, restore my husband who died to purchase it for you? |
A66451 | Doth God take care for Oxen? |
A66451 | Doth not nature teach to beare with a blain or blemish, rather then to destroy the body? |
A66451 | Hath not Christ rendred his members all in a mutuall need of one another? |
A66451 | Have you taken of us a price? |
A66451 | I say, what do you in this, but set as at liberty afterwards? |
A66451 | Is Christ so put to it, quite out of hope? |

A02913 | But do they teach their hearers to hate vaine inventions and love Gods Law? |
A02913 | But if this be granted/ this question ariseth who shal then baptize after Antichrists exaltation? |

A02913 | C. I demaund of you wherewith doth he compel them? |
A02913 | C. Then, I demaund this question, whether every Christiā without respect of persons ought not to bee subject to Christs Lawes for his salvation? |
A02913 | C. Wel, then I demand, hath the fleshly childr 〈 … 〉 of the faithfull, more previlege to life and salvation then the faithful themselves? |

A02913 | C. What thē: is it therefore Chr: baptisme? |
A02913 | C. Wherefore should they be condemned? |
A02913 | C. You say true: then for that sin, God never purposed to condemne Adam to hell: if not him for that, why any of his posteritie for that? |
A02913 | C. what then/ Is not his practice written for our instruction? |
A02913 | Cā a theife that hath stolne goods, repent thereof to acceptance with God, and not make restitutiō to the party wronged? |
A02913 | Christ or Antichrist? |

A02913 | I. I confesse these iudgments are to be trembled at/ but how do you apply them properly to such as worship in these assemblies? |
A02913 | I. I praise God you have given me great satisfaction in these things/ what must we do after our baptisme? |
A02913 | If men hold errors& vvill not obey the truth, do they not sin against God,& deserve punishment? |
A02913 | If vvicked malefactors should bee let allone to the end of the vvorld, then vvhere is the Magistrats svvorde? |

A48891 | And how do you prove there be other ends? |
A48891 | And if their own word; may not be taken; who, I pray must be judg? |
A48891 | And if there be such a right somewhere, where should it be but in the Civil Sovereign? |
A48891 | And now, I pray, which of these two Brothers would you have punished, to make him bethink himself, and bring him back to the Truth? |
A48891 | And why may not the care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself? |
A48891 | Are Men to be punished for refusing to imbrace the Doctrine, and submit to the Government, of the proper Ministers of the Church of Geneva? |
A48891 | Are you in earnest? |
A48891 | Are you sincere? |
A48891 | But could there be a more wild and incoherent Consequence drawn from it, than this; Therefore Dissenters must be punished? |
A48891 | But if all Men have not Reason and sound Judgment, will Punishment put it into them? |
A48891 | But if, by these Proper Ministers of Religion, the Ministers of some particular Church are intended; why do you not name it? |
A48891 | But what if, after all, now you should be found to prevaricate? |
A48891 | But why, I pray, all this bogling, all this loose talking, as if you knew not what you meant, or durst not speak it out? |
A48891 | But will you say therefore that this is lawful, justifiable Chirurgery? |
A48891 | Dissenting? |
A48891 | For what then are they to be punished? |
A48891 | For what? |
A48891 | For what? |
A48891 | Have no Dissenters considered of Religion? |
A48891 | Have they considered and examined enough, if they are satisfied themselves where the Truth lies? |
A48891 | Have you never heard of such a thing as the Religion establish''d by Law? |
A48891 | I answer, if you meant so, why did you not say so? |
A48891 | If Dissenting be not the Fault; is it that a Man does not examine his own Religion, and the Grounds of it? |
A48891 | If I now say, Doubtless this is a good argument; is not every one bound without more ado to admit it for such? |
A48891 | If this be not to compel them to the Magistrates Religion, pray tell ● … us what is? |
A48891 | If you can not lay your Hand upon your Heart, and say all this; What then will be got by the change? |
A48891 | If you should make a Law to punish all Stammerers; could any one believe you, if you said it was designed only to make them leave Swearing? |
A48891 | Is that the Crime your Punishments are designed to cure? |
A48891 | Is the Magistrate commonly more careful of his own, than other Men are of theirs? |
A48891 | Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it? |
A48891 | Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it? |
A48891 | Must these of his Subjects be neglected, and lest without the means he has Authority to procure them? |
A48891 | Of what? |
A48891 | Or else, must they be punished to make them consider and examine till they imbrace that which you choose for Truth? |
A48891 | Or have all Conformists considered? |
A48891 | Or must he ase Force upon them too? |
A48891 | Perhaps it will be answered; If there be so much toil in it, that particular Persons must be apply''d to, who then will be a Minister? |
A48891 | Shall we do evil that good may come of it? |
A48891 | That it is not easy to set Grantham Steeple upon Paul''s Church? |
A48891 | That therefore the Magistrate may make use of it? |
A48891 | The Question is, Whether Civil Society be instituted only for Civil Ends? |
A48891 | To what end? |
A48891 | What I beseech you is the Crime here? |
A48891 | What do you conclude from thence, to your purpose? |
A48891 | What if God would have Men left to their freedom in this Point, if they will hear, or if they will forbear, will you constrain them? |
A48891 | What if there be other Means? |
A48891 | What is it? |
A48891 | What is to be done now? |
A48891 | What now must be done with them? |
A48891 | What then will become of your indirect, and at a distance Vsefulness? |
A48891 | What to do? |
A48891 | What, I pray, is the design of it? |
A48891 | What? |
A48891 | Which, what is it other, but to compel them to relinquish their own, and to conform themselves to that from which they differ? |
A48891 | Which, what is it, but to punish men barely for not being of the Magistrate''s Religion; The very thing you deny he has authority to do? |
A48891 | Who can deny now, but that you have taken care, great care, for the promoting of Truth and the Christian Religion? |
A48891 | Whom? |
A48891 | Why are you so reserv''d, in a Matter wherein, if you speak not out, all the rest that you say will be to no purpose? |
A48891 | Why should not the care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself, rather than the Magistrate? |
A48891 | Why? |
A48891 | Will Punishment make Men know what is Reason and sound Judgment? |
A48891 | Will the examining the Controversy between the Magistrate and the Dissenting Subject, in this case bring him to the Knowledg of the Truth? |
A48891 | Will you say the Magistrate is less expos''d in matters of Religion, to Prejudices, Humours, and Crafty Seducers, than other Men? |
A48891 | Would not every one see it was impossible that punishment should be only against Swweating, when all Stammerers were under the penalty? |
A48891 | Would you be for punishing some Body, you know not whom? |
A48891 | You and your Magistrates? |
A48891 | You ask, What Means else is there left? |
A51057 | & how hath that spirit, wrought in the childreen of disobedience? |
A51057 | And on the other hand, the French and English, in continual complements, and embraces, and yet, are they all deluded? |

A51057 | Do we not perceive the men with the slaughter weapon in their hand? |
A51057 | God forbid: Now if it be asked, what then should we do? |
A51057 | If so, the scheme I graunt is changed: But is it credible, that infatuation itself, can fixe us in this resolution? |
A51057 | May not the things, which have overtaken us already, make us know, that it is a feareful thing, to fall into the hands of the living God? |
A51057 | Oh poor England, how do thy Rulers, post thee to thy ruine? |

A42139 | And what Religion shall J profess, if J lay Scripture asyde? |
A42139 | And what greater authoriti ● has a synod of England for to prov ● a Doctrin to be of the Reformation than a synod of France which I have produced? |
A42139 | And what then? |
A42139 | And why? |
A42139 | And will you deny this to be the Doctrin of the Reformation, wheras its Scripture as interpreted by men of so eminent and sound a judgment? |
A42139 | Articles of the Church of England, which allow no other Rule of faith but Scripture as each person of sound judgment vnderstands it? |
A42139 | Articles? |
A42139 | Ask them, if we be obliged to believe the Doctrin and sense of scripture delivered by a general Council? |
A42139 | But can you prove this Doctrin by the testimony of any of our synods? |
A42139 | But is there no Tenet of Religion which we are all indispensably obliged to hold? |
A42139 | But what do you think of a Child Christen''d in Popery by a Monk or a Fryar, ought he to be Christen''d again in our Reformation? |
A42139 | But what''s the matter? |
A42139 | Can there be any synod in England of so great authoritie as our wise and prudent Parliaments? |
A42139 | Can you prove that our Rule of faith is Scripture as any particular Dr or person of sound judgment vnderstands it? |
A42139 | Destroy it? |
A42139 | Did Luther and Calvin forsake the Pope and Councils, for to submit their judgments to any other? |
A42139 | Did any teach that we may with a safe conscience change our Religion as you say? |
A42139 | Did ever any Apostle speake with more courage? |
A42139 | Do you think a Doctrin is not of the Reformation, because it s denied by the Church of England? |
A42139 | Does he forsake the Reformation because he forsakes Lutheranism for Calvinism? |
A42139 | Does not our Reformation teach that it''s possible to all men assisted with Gods Grace to keep the Commandments? |
A42139 | Happily? |
A42139 | Have not we many examples of his in our best& most renowned Reformers? |
A42139 | How long halt ye between two opinions? |
A42139 | Is''t possible? |
A42139 | J ca n''t tell; what may be the reason, think you? |
A42139 | J would gladly know, if it be lawfull to chop or change the text? |
A42139 | Let vs ask this synod by what Rule of faith does the Reformation walk? |
A42139 | Must I not believe that the Doctrin of Jesus Christ, delivered to his Apostles and the Church is true Doctrin? |
A42139 | No sure; for Calvinism is as much of the Reformation as the other: Is not Protestancy as much the Doctrin of the Reformation as Presbyterie? |
A42139 | Nor was it only Luther and Calvin spoke thus, but all our first blessed Reformers; and why? |
A42139 | Or than Luther and Zuinglius our first Reformers inspired by God to teach vs the puritie of the Ghospel? |
A42139 | Shock me? |
A42139 | The Popes Supremacy is the Doctrin of Popery; who doubts it? |
A42139 | Was it not from Luther and Zuinglius that England receiued the Doctrin of the Reformation? |
A42139 | What do you think of Iustifying faith? |
A42139 | What do you think, have not wee a Church on earth establisht by Christ, wherin wee are to live and serve him, and believe her Doctrin? |

A42139 | Wherin can you say does this man transgress against the Doctrin or principles of the Reformation? |
A42139 | Why? |
A42139 | Will you believe Scripture, as it is interpreted, and in that sense which the Church, Councils, and Fathers propound vnto you? |
A42139 | Would Luther have given this liberty, if Transubstantiation had not been the Doctrin of the Reformation as well as any other? |
A42139 | You can never settle any but rhis, That every man may without le ● or hinderance believe what he please: and why should not this be a good Religion? |
A42139 | ],[ London? |
A42139 | and if England be so bold as to say they erred in this, what assurance can we haue, but that they erred in the rest? |
A42139 | and it shall be lawfull for them to believe it against the Doctrin of the whole Church? |
A42139 | and must they be constrain''d to deny or believe because the fallible Church of England or France will have it so? |
A42139 | and were not Doctor Morton, Fox, Field and Illiricus men of sound judgement, eminent Learning, and Godlines? |
A42139 | and what difference betwixt you and the Church of Rome? |
A42139 | and what if a Popish Priest or Fryar did becom of our Reformed Church, can he lawfully marry, wheras he made a vow of Chastity? |
A42139 | and what then? |
A42139 | and why should not it be lawfull to any Reformed to believe this, wheras its Scripture as interpreted by a man of so sound a judgment? |
A42139 | are not Luther, Caluin, Danaeus, Ochinus as well of the Reformation; and men of as sound judgment as they? |

A42139 | if- therefore this be Scripture as interpreted by them how can you deny it to be the Doctrin of the Reformation? |

A43300 | It concerneth our eternal Salvation, or Condemnation, and is therefore of great importance; for what can a man give for the ranfom of his Soul? |
A43300 | Let all Gods People cry, How long Lord? |
A43300 | May none be admitted to the Church to partake in the Ordinances, except they be baptized? |
A43300 | May not the same be said in as high a measure of Judah? |
A43300 | May we say, the Religion of the Philosophers was good because of their moral vertues? |
A43300 | Most true it is; but is it not also true, that Princes must afford all their Subjects Justice and Equity, although they be as Heathens and Publicans? |
A43300 | Must he dye that despiseth Moses Law, and shall he escape that despiseth Christs, upon what pretence soever? |
A43300 | Next after forsaking the wayes of wickedness, and imbracing Christ for our Righteousness, what must we do? |
A43300 | Now this is the question, whether this action, thus unlawfully performed may be kept, and yet repented of? |
A43300 | Or, can not we know them infallibly of themselves, without we let in the authority of the Church? |
A43300 | Or, do you think that Paul went about with Regal Mandates, or Kingly Authority to gather and establish the Church of Christ? |
A43300 | Shall they not escape Damnation for this accursed doctrine and practice, and think ye you shall? |
A43300 | So may I say, Whether is greater, the Water and Washing, or the Word that sanctifies the Water? |
A43300 | Sought he Protection from Nero Vespatian? |
A43300 | The High Commission is from the King, and dare you once call it into question? |
A43300 | Then I demand this Question, Whether every Christian, without respect of persons, ought not to be subject to Christs Laws for his Salvation? |
A43300 | Thou that judgest another, judgest thou not thy self? |
A43300 | Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thy self? |
A43300 | VVHy come you not to Church? |
A43300 | VVell, then I demand, Have the fleshly Children of the Faithfull more priviledge to Life and Salvation than the Faithful themselves? |
A43300 | VVhat Authority can any mortal man require more, than of body, goods, life, and all that appertaineth to the outward man? |
A43300 | VVhat should I do there? |
A43300 | Was God thus jealous of Moses''s Ordinances, and is he less jealous of Christs? |
A43300 | Was not Paul a Blasphemer? |
A43300 | Well, if that be the true exposition, I pray you why do you then excommunicate any out of your Church, contrary to your own acknowledgment? |
A43300 | Were not Blasphemers put to death in time of the Law? |
A43300 | What do you mean by will not hear? |
A43300 | What if I should many times go through weakness? |
A43300 | What other example have you in the Scriptures, that an unbaptized person may baptize? |
A43300 | What shall men do striving about matters of Religion till this be ended? |
A43300 | What then, Is not his practice written for our instruction? |
A43300 | What then? |
A43300 | When they were Imprisoned and lay in Chains, did they praise and give thanks to God for any dignities, graces and favours received from the Court? |
A43300 | Where is the Wise? |
A43300 | Who are more confident of their good estate with God than the Papists, notwithstanding all their gross abominations? |
A43300 | Who is ignorant( knowing the Histories) that from time to time, both particular Popes and general Councils, have grosly erred in many things? |
A43300 | Will not Christ Jesus pronounce absolutely either Salvation or Condemnation to every one? |
A43300 | With the aid of what Power did they preach Christ, and converted the Heathen from their Idolatry to God? |
A43300 | Yea, do they not forbid their own Ministers to expound or discourse of the Scriptures? |
A43300 | and as the Lord saith, If I be your Master, where is my fear? |
A43300 | and how many, both then and since, have been consumed to death in Prisons? |
A43300 | and is there more than one way of coming to Christ for them both, namely, to be the Sons of God by Faith, and to put on Christ by Baptism? |
A43300 | answered: I believe, and dye in the Faith of Christs Church: Being again demanded what the Faith of Christs Church was? |
A43300 | being in his power, or having ability to restore; I would know how this will be maintained? |
A43300 | but will your selves submit the guidance of your Souls to the learned Spirituality,( as they are called) without due examination by the Scriptures? |
A43300 | doth he not require that they should help to cast down Babel? |
A43300 | he hath no carnal weapons: Doth he not compel them by his Word, which is his two- edged Sword? |
A43300 | if a Father, where is mine honour or worship? |
A43300 | is it therefore Christs Baptism? |
A43300 | or, do Christs Disciples thus plant? |
A43300 | the Offering, or the Altar that sanctifieth the Offering? |
A43300 | was Israels sin half so great as Judahs? |
A43300 | what Treacheries and Treasons would be plotted? |
A43300 | when wilt thou come to destroy Antichrists cruel Kingdom, and establish Christs meek and peaceable Kingdom? |
A43300 | where is the Disputer of this world? |
A43300 | where is the Scribe? |
A43300 | whose eyes do not gush out with tears in the confideration thereof? |
A53733 | 14 But would not his Obedience hallow, or at least excuse his action? |
A53733 | 9. Who ever doubted of it? |
A53733 | And hath this Gentleman really considered what the meaning of that word Trade is, and what is the concernment of this Nation in it? |
A53733 | And how doth thi ● follow? |
A53733 | And may not this Rule be quickly extended unto Oaths themselves, the bonds and Ligaments of humane Society? |
A53733 | And shall they they be destroyed, if they miss it in some matters of smaller concernment? |
A53733 | And what if others believe that to pursue their successes in Villany and Rebellion is to follow Providence? |
A53733 | And what is it, that we treat about? |
A53733 | And what now if those intended do not believe these things, nor any one of them? |
A53733 | And what quietness, what peace is there like to be in the world, whilst the sword of vengeance must be continually drawn about these things? |
A53733 | And why all this fierceness and severity? |
A53733 | And why may not the same Rule and Order be observed with respect to the circumstances that attend the performance of the duties of instituted Worship? |
A53733 | And will it not be bitterness in the latter end? |
A53733 | And will they justifie all their oppressors? |
A53733 | And would not the Authority of the King warrant his Obedience? |
A53733 | And would these men be willingly thus dealt withall, by those who judge, or may judge them to err? |
A53733 | Are immoralities or vicious debaucheries rather to be tolerated, or exempted from punishment, than such a dissent? |
A53733 | Are there then Reasons: for their observation besides their Injuction, and such as on the account whereof they are injoyned? |
A53733 | Are these their Apprehensions concerning God, sin, themselves and others? |
A53733 | Are these things suited to the principles, Doctrines, practices of the Church of England? |
A53733 | Are these things then so indeed? |
A53733 | Besides who shall judge what is small, or what is great in things of this Nature? |
A53733 | But is it not strange, how any man can assume to himself, and swallow so much confidence as is needful to the mannagement of this charge? |
A53733 | But is their Judgement infallible? |
A53733 | But shall this wrath never be allayed? |
A53733 | But to what purpose is it to contend about these things? |
A53733 | But what if it so fall out? |
A53733 | But what if this also should prove a false and futilous pretence? |
A53733 | But what name shall these new Vertues be called by? |
A53733 | But what then is to be done in this Case? |
A53733 | But what would be the issue of such proceedings? |
A53733 | But who judgeth them to be so guilty of errors? |
A53733 | But why so? |
A53733 | But, as I said, what will be the end of these things, namely of mutual virulent reflections upon one another? |
A53733 | Doth God deal thus in this world, in his Rule over the souls of men? |
A53733 | Doth it thence follow that such persons must needs Rebell and be Seditious and disturb the publick peace, of the Society whereof they are Members? |
A53733 | Doth the Lord Christ require his Disciples to do and observe in the Worship of God what ever he commanded them? |
A53733 | Ecquid meministi? |
A53733 | For to what purpose serve their Understandings, their Judgements, their Wills, if not to guide and determine them in their Actions? |
A53733 | For what security can be had of him, who hath inured himself unto a continual contradiction between his Faith and his practice? |
A53733 | For wherein can this be effected? |
A53733 | Hath he dominion over them to rule them in the things of the Worship of God? |
A53733 | Hath the Magistrate this his Authority in and over Religion and the consciences of men from Jesus Christ? |
A53733 | He asks farther, what doth the Scripture mean when it stiles our Saviour the King of Kings, and maketh Princes his Vicegerents here on earth? |
A53733 | How are they directed to behave themselves, after they have assumed a likeness unto the Most High, and exalted themselves to his Throne? |
A53733 | How if they should be mistaken themselves in their judgement? |
A53733 | I would then a little farther enquire, who shall judge whether the things commanded in Religion and the Worship of God be Idolatrous or Superstitious? |
A53733 | Is it not because of the Authority of God over their minds and Consciences in these things? |
A53733 | Is it not evident to him that hath but half an eye that we are come about again where we were before? |
A53733 | Is it only towards them, who are of the same mind with themselves? |
A53733 | Is it such as to make that to be Vertue which was not Vertue before, or which was Vice, and oblige men in Conscience to practise it as Vertue? |
A53733 | Is it to be so born as to practise and observe the things so enjoyned though Superstitious and Idolatrous? |
A53733 | Is it to judge of their Actions as done, whether they be good or evil? |
A53733 | Is the Authority of Christ the formal Reason making Obedience necessary to his Commands and Precepts? |
A53733 | Is the Lord Christ the Lord of the Souls and Consciences of men? |
A53733 | Is this Spirit from above? |
A53733 | Is this the Spirit wherewith the Children of the Church are acted? |
A53733 | Is this the way to restore peace, quietness and satisfaction to the minds of men? |
A53733 | Is this to act like God, whose power and authority they have assumed, or like to his greatest Adversary? |
A53733 | Is this, thought I, the Spirit of the men with whom the Non- Conformists do contend, and upon whose Instance alone they suffer? |
A53733 | Might Christ in his own Person administer the Holy Things of the Church of God? |
A53733 | Now who shall fix bounds to what they will judge to fall under one or other of these limitations? |
A53733 | Once more; what name of sin or wickedness will they find to affix to these errors? |
A53733 | Or must Ephraim now answer for the sin, and not be only that imposed the command? |
A53733 | Quanta isthaec Hominum summa est? |
A53733 | Quis nist Callimachus? |
A53733 | Quis tulerit Gracehos de seditione querentes? |
A53733 | Shall this Sword devour for ever? |
A53733 | Some have denyed him any concern herein; our Author is none of them? |
A53733 | Suppose they be prevailed with, to run the hazzard and adventure of such an undertaking; what is it that they are thereon perswaded unto? |
A53733 | What Ladders have men to climb personally into Heaven? |
A53733 | What are the Affairs of Religion here intended, all or some? |
A53733 | What are the concerns of publick good therein? |
A53733 | What can be more directly forbidden, than the making or use ● ● g of graven Images, in or about Religious Worship? |
A53733 | What hurt would it be to leave them so? |
A53733 | What if some of them, are ridiculously framed into Articles of faith, from the supposed practices of some individual Persons? |
A53733 | What if the things condemned as fulsome Metaphors prove to be Scriptural expressions of Gospel Mysteries? |
A53733 | What if they do openly disavow every one of them, as for ought I ever heard or know they do, and as I do my self? |
A53733 | What is it, that a little Truce and Peace is desired unto, and pleaded for? |
A53733 | What place of Scripture in the Old or New Testament, which of the ancient Fathers of the Church, do speak at this rate? |
A53733 | What thinks he of the Confessions of Ezra, of Daniel and others in the name of the whole people of God? |
A53733 | Wherefore then are these weak attempts made to confirm and prove what is not? |
A53733 | Whether they cross directly the Interest of the Gospel? |
A53733 | Who is it that promiseth these things? |
A53733 | Who would be gainers by it? |
A53733 | Whom will such men fulfill the commands of patience, forbearance, waiting, meekness, condescension, that the Gospel abounds with, towards? |
A53733 | Will this way of proceeding compose and satisfie the minds of men? |
A53733 | and how if sundry things so odiously here expressed, be proved to have been sober Truths declared in words of Wisdom and Sobriety? |
A53733 | and who shall attend them in their attempt? |
A53733 | he answers, It is to be born: True, but how? |
A53733 | how if he be not able to prove any of them by any considerable avowed instance? |
A53733 | how will he confirm and vindicate it? |
A53733 | no more then Christ hath his Authority from the Magistrate; for he holds it by the Law of Nature antecedent to the promise and coming of Christ? |
A53733 | or did any one ever think, that they had a difficult case of Conscience to resolve in that matter? |
A53733 | or is not this that, which is set out in the Fable of Phaeton, that he, who takes the Chariot of the Sun, will cast the whole world into a combustion? |
A53733 | that there is no work at all of God upon the hearts of Sinners, but that which is purely moral, and perswasive by the word? |
A53733 | that what is asserted by some concerning the Efficacy of the Grace of the Spirit, and concerning his gifts, is no more but a buzz and a noise? |
A53733 | where lyes the difficulty? |
A53733 | why? |
A39306 | ( Why did they not answer this One Objection, which themselves had advanced?) |
A39306 | Again, they say, If you deny that you impose, why are not you quiet? |
A39306 | All that are called Quakers? |
A39306 | And again, If thou dost not presently see that Service in a thing, that the rest of thy Brethren agree in, it is thy Duty( what to do? |
A39306 | And although from the Author''s asking, Is the fault in the thing themselves? |
A39306 | And hath the World that Eye to see her with? |
A39306 | And how then will it hold that the Latter, they that believe nothing a Duty but what they are perswaded of, do indeed own all Duty, that can be known? |
A39306 | Are not Sobriety, Temperance, Chastity, Modesty, Honesty,& c. certain Rules whereby Conversation ought to be measured? |
A39306 | Are not all to be led by the One Spirit of Truth into all Truth, into Circumstantials, as well as into Essentials? |
A39306 | Are not these Generals designed for a shelter for something to lurk under? |
A39306 | Are there not various Measures, diversities of Gifts, and several Offices in the Body? |
A39306 | Are they inconsistent with Truth, or will not the Truth own or assent unto them? |
A39306 | Are they to be left to their Liberty and Freedom in doing the thing that is extreamly Evil? |
A39306 | But among all those of whom Christ is Head ought there not to be an Agreement? |
A39306 | But can nothing be an abuse of the Plea, but using it against Understanding? |
A39306 | But if they do not so, what then? |
A39306 | But if they know not their Habitation in God, in what do they know their Habitation to be? |
A39306 | But is the Church( or was it ever) known to the World? |
A39306 | But it was, Must I conform to things whether I can receive them or no? |
A39306 | But must I conform to things whether I can receive them or no? |
A39306 | But say they, What care has he taken? |
A39306 | But since ye have resolved Circumstantials into Shadowy things; what will ye do with them under the Gospel? |
A39306 | But therefore are not the Members of one mind and Iudgement, in common and universal matters, relating to the Church of God? |
A39306 | But they say, Can any indifferent man think that all this Smoke can be without Fire? |
A39306 | But when they do so, what is to be done in the case? |
A39306 | But whence should this Liberty of disagreeing proceed? |
A39306 | But where is that? |
A39306 | Can the Church of Christ be seen but by a Spiritual Eye? |
A39306 | Common, because it was commonly received; or because it was offered, intended and tendred as a Common Benifit to all that would receive it? |
A39306 | Did he say, thou must Conform before or without Coviction? |
A39306 | Did not the same Evidence come along with the Apostle, and attend his Ministry, as before? |
A39306 | Did not they that ran out in I. Perot''s business, plead being left to their Freedom, to their Liberty? |
A39306 | Did they want to be better inform''d, whether These are Evils or no? |
A39306 | Do not Pennyman, Crisp and Bugg own in words the same righteous Principle still? |
A39306 | Does not this shew they are devoted to Cavilling? |
A39306 | Doth Christ, the Head, dispose or allow any of his Members to quarrel amongst themselves? |
A39306 | Doth it therefore follow, or will they thence infer, that the Hatred of Money is the Root of all Good? |
A39306 | Doth not this shew both great Partiality, and a captious mind? |
A39306 | For do not they pretend to be a Society, and that too with respect to outward Rules? |
A39306 | For having put this Question, But must I conform to things whether I can receive them or no? |
A39306 | For some to slight, reject, deny and obstruct the work and service of the rest? |
A39306 | For the Author''s words lie, thus, The Enemy is at work to scatter the minds of Friends, by that loose Plea, What hast thou to do with me? |
A39306 | For the Question being there put, Ought I not to be left to the Grace of God in my own Heart? |
A39306 | Have they not hereby unchurched themselves? |
A39306 | How know they then whether the sense, relish, and taste of it, which they say they had in their hearts, was Divine, or no? |
A39306 | How may we suppose he could admit the fault to be in the things, which he prae- suppos''d to be good, wholsom, and requisit? |
A39306 | How then can they pretend to be of the true Church, which they will not allow to be yet referrable to any Society, with respect to outward Rules? |
A39306 | How would they be understood, that a Question in some sort is a matter undetermined till affirmed and denyed? |
A39306 | If it was dark before, how much clearer is it now? |
A39306 | If they ask, But by what certain or undoubted Rule shall we know who are such? |
A39306 | In page 42, they ask, Why may not you be cautioned to beware of Formality? |
A39306 | In their 32 page, they say, Why do you impose upon your Brethren? |
A39306 | Is every Conclusion an Antithesis, do they think? |
A39306 | Is it not from the Spirit of God in ones self, that Conviction or Perswasion of Duty is to be accepted and received? |
A39306 | Is it undetermined in some sort, and determined in some other sort, before it be either affirmed or denyed? |
A39306 | Is not Christ, ask they, the Head of all that is good, from the least breathing to the fullest perfection? |
A39306 | Is not that looking backward, instead of forward? |
A39306 | Is not this looking backward, instead of forward? |
A39306 | Is not this pittiful Shuffling? |
A39306 | Is the will of God, think they, done in Heaven by some, one way, by others, a clean contrary way in opposition to that? |
A39306 | Is their Beginning the Boundary? |
A39306 | Is there no medium between my not acting as I am perswaded, and acting as others are perswaded? |
A39306 | Is this to draw from the Gift of God in ones self, to depend upon others for Guidance? |
A39306 | It follows in their Book, But why can not you agree together, whilst you own one and the same righteous Principle? |
A39306 | Must the Agreement in Heaven be in some things only, and not in all? |
A39306 | Must therefore None be left to it, although they know it, and have it? |
A39306 | Must they not agree on Earth, that must agree in Heaven? |
A39306 | Nay, have they not been worse than those forespoken of by Christ? |
A39306 | Nay, why can not you and they agree in other things, as well as in contending against Truth, and writing Books against Friends? |
A39306 | Nor do they deny that those, and such like, things have been, or may be, defended, by some under that Plea, What hast thou to do with me? |
A39306 | Or disclaim''d Membership with the true Church? |
A39306 | Or do they not know where, or in what their Habitation is? |
A39306 | Or is a Question, with them, a matter determined so soon as it is affirmed or denyed? |
A39306 | Or was it in all things then relating to Religion amongst them, even in those things that were rather Circumstantial than Essential? |
A39306 | Or was there no room in their prejudiced mind for the Evidence to enter? |
A39306 | Or would a Persons being dissatisfied with any of those things then, have freed him from the Obligation of them? |
A39306 | Ought I not to be left to the Grace and Spirit of God in my own Heart? |
A39306 | Rep. Doth this offend them? |
A39306 | Rep. May they so? |
A39306 | Rep. What ground had they to dream that he brought it as an Antithesis at all? |
A39306 | Should not they have gone further then, for a proof that he was wrong, than their sense that the same Evidence came not along with him? |
A39306 | The Apostle, when he said, Is there Vnrighteousness with God? |
A39306 | There they say, What can hinder the putting this in practice, but the Devil in the likeness of Truth, perswading this was to give Liberty to Evil? |
A39306 | Therefore he subjoyns, Is the fault in the things themselves? |
A39306 | They add, And are we to go any further for a Proof, that such are wrong, than when the same Evidence comes not along with them? |
A39306 | They add, You came out together, have you not done the greater, and can not you do the less? |
A39306 | They go on; Doth not he gather all the Good together in one, even himself? |
A39306 | They go on; Doth not he own all that''s of his own beegtting, every where, according to the degree of knowledge received? |
A39306 | They say, in their 31 page, Will he leave us to depend, and not certainly tell us what on? |
A39306 | This looks too like that impertinent Curiosity, which drew from the Apostle the Rebuke of[ thou Fool] to him that asked, How are the Dead raised up? |
A39306 | Was it not so with some of old, who received, owned, embraced and allowed the Apostle Paul as right, and yet afterward turned against him as wrong? |
A39306 | Was it only in such things as are accounted Essential? |
A39306 | Was not his Church always hid from the World? |
A39306 | Was therefore no Duty incumbent on them? |
A39306 | Well, add they, what then? |
A39306 | Were there any hurt in this? |
A39306 | Were those things then good, or not good, according as Persons were perswaded of them, or dissatisfied with them? |
A39306 | What Assurance doth their saying, they are sure give to others? |
A39306 | What has been the general pretence of these, but want of Liberty? |
A39306 | What necessity is there for that? |
A39306 | What remedy has he provided, that true Liberty and Freedom of Speech may be maintained? |
A39306 | What then? |
A39306 | When they say, All must be left free; what All do they mean? |
A39306 | When, to the Question,[ If I do not presently see that Service in a thing, that the rest of my Brethren agree in, in this case what is my Duty?] |
A39306 | Where lies the[ must] in this case? |
A39306 | Where was the fault? |
A39306 | Whereas the first part, nor any part of the Question was not, Ought I to receive things against Truth? |
A39306 | Whether thou hast received an Understanding about it, or no? |
A39306 | Why did they not Answer these that were advanced, as there phrase is? |
A39306 | Why now? |
A39306 | Why so? |
A39306 | Will ye assert shadowy things to be Good now, under the Gospel, if Persons are perswaded they are so? |
A39306 | Will ye rather chuse to say that, though it was not so then under the Law; yet it is so now, under the Gospel? |
A39306 | Would they have All, nay, would they have any left to this freedom, to this Liberty, to do their own Wills, in Opposition to God''s Will? |
A39306 | and with what Bodies do they come? |
A39306 | for men so cryed up, as some of them are? |
A39306 | nay, were not this a good sign of a right Christian Mind and Spirit? |
A39306 | or only All that are in Christ, from the Babe in Christ upward? |
A39306 | should that hinder them from taking notice of what they did, or might know, of what was advanced? |
A39306 | the Nil ultra? |
A39306 | the way of Truth was too strait for them? |
A39306 | to be lead into Conformity before Conviction? |
A39306 | to oppose one another? |
A39306 | whether thou seest the Service, or no? |
A39306 | will the Spirit of God lead them that ● e left to the Guidings of it, to Conformity before Conviction? |
A39306 | — And as Christ owns all that''s good, shall not we own it? |
A42142 | And all that your Church of England mislikes, must be Fanaticism, Blaphemy, and Impiety? |
A42142 | And as they erred so grosly in such prime Articles of Christianity, why do you fear and suspect they have also erred in the rest? |
A42142 | And did not he very commendably deny it against them all, because he judged by Scripture it was not? |
A42142 | And do not you know, that almost all our Congregations do hold our Clergy to be no true Clergy, but as meer Laymen as you or I? |
A42142 | And if England be so bold as to say they erred in this, what assurance can we have, but that they erred in the rest? |
A42142 | And is it against Mans reason that he in following Years may meet other Books of Arians, Socinians,& c. and do the like? |
A42142 | And must they be constrain''d to deny or believe, because the fallible Church of England or France will have it so? |
A42142 | And were not Doctor Morton, Fox, Field, and Illiricus, Men of sound Judgment, eminent Learning and Godliness? |
A42142 | And what Jesus Christ are we obliged to believe in? |
A42142 | And what Religion shall I profess if I lay Scripture aside? |
A42142 | And what a greater Authority has a Synod of England, for to prove a Doctrin to be of the Reformation, than a Synod of France which I have produced? |
A42142 | And what difference betwixt you and ● he Church of Rome? |
A42142 | And what if a Popish Priest, or Fryar, did become of our Reformed Church, can he lawfully Marry, whereas be made a Vow of Chastity? |
A42142 | And what then? |
A42142 | And what then? |
A42142 | And why must Luther, Illiricus, Flaccius, and others be forced to deny those Tenets, tho''Protestants or Papists judge them to be damnable? |
A42142 | And why should not it be lawful to any Reformed to believe this, whereas it''s Scripture as interpreted by a Man of so sound a Judgment? |
A42142 | And why should we dare say, our King would commit any, for depriving our Clergy of those Rents? |
A42142 | And why? |
A42142 | And will you deny this to be the Doctrine of the Reformation, whereas it''s Scripture as interpreted by Men of so eminent and sound a Judgment? |
A42142 | Are not Luther, Calvin, Danaeus, Ochinus as well of the Reformation, and Men of as sound Judgment as they? |
A42142 | Are they bound to submit their Judgments to the Church of England, more than to that of Rome? |
A42142 | Because they follow Scripture as they understand it, and this is our Rule of Faith? |
A42142 | But can you prove this Doctrine by the Testimony of any of our Synods? |
A42142 | But do not you see it would be a Sacrilege, that the King should deprive the Clergy of their Church Revenues? |
A42142 | But is there no Tenet of Religion which we are all indispensably obliged to hold? |
A42142 | But what do you think of a Child Christen''d in Popery by a Monk or a Fryar, ought he to be Christen''d again in our Reformation? |
A42142 | But what''s the matter? |
A42142 | By whom were they condemn''d? |
A42142 | Can there be any Synod in England of so great Authority as our wise and prudent Parliaments? |
A42142 | Can you deny but this was the Rule of Faith, and principle of our first blessed Reformers, and of the Church of England, mentioned in her 39 Articles? |
A42142 | Can you prove that our Rule of Faith is Scripture, as any particular Doctor or Person of sound Judgment understands it? |
A42142 | Consequently what is the Doctrine of the Reformation, but what any Person of sound Judgment understands to be of Scripture? |
A42142 | Destroy it? |
A42142 | Did Luther and Calvin forsake the Pope and Councils, for to submit their Judgments to any other? |
A42142 | Did any teach that we may with a safe Conscience change our Religion as you say? |
A42142 | Did ever any Apostle speak with more Courage? |
A42142 | Do you think a Doctrin is not of the Reformation, because it''s denyed by the Church of England? |
A42142 | Does Faith alone justify us? |
A42142 | Does he forsake the Reformation, because he forsakes Lutherism for Calvinism? |
A42142 | Happily? |
A42142 | Have not we many examples of this in our best and most renowned Reformers? |
A42142 | How can you say, I oblige you to believe false and scandalous Tenets? |
A42142 | How long halt ye between two Opinions? |
A42142 | I ca n''t tell, What may be the reason, think you? |
A42142 | I know many of our Congregation mislike much our Common- Prayer Book, for these Popish- Tenets; but what do you say of the grand errours of Popery? |
A42142 | I would gladly know, if it be lawful to chop or change the Text? |
A42142 | If therefore this be Scripture as Interpreted by them, how can you deny it to be the Doctrine of the Reformation? |
A42142 | Is it not the Doctrin of the Reformation that the Apostles were infallible in their Doctrin? |
A42142 | Is not Scripture our Rule of Faith, and are we to regard what any Church or all Churches say, further than we find by Scripture that they say well? |
A42142 | Ismael Does not our Reformation teach that''t is possible to all Men, assisted with God''s Grace, to keep the Commandments? |
A42142 | It''s possible? |
A42142 | Let us ask this Synod by what Rule of Faith does the Reformation walk? |
A42142 | Methinks you become pale, something troubles you, speak, what is it? |
A42142 | Must I believe yours against my Conscience and Knowledge? |
A42142 | Must I not believe that the Doctrin of Jesus Christ, delivered to his Apostles and the Church is true Doctrin? |
A42142 | Must our Rule of Faith be Scripture, as the Church of England understands it, and not otherwise? |
A42142 | No sure; for Calvinism is as much of the Reformation as the other: Is not Protestancy as much the Doctrine of the Reformation as Presbytery? |
A42142 | Nor was it only Luther and Calvin spoke thus, but all our first blessed Reformers; and why? |
A42142 | Or is it not the Doctrin of our Reformation? |
A42142 | Or must not I believe my own? |
A42142 | Or than Luther and Zuinglius our first Reformers, inspired by God, to teach us the purity of the Gospel? |
A42142 | Or what Rule can you give for to know what is good or evil to be done, but Scripture as understood by such Persons? |
A42142 | Shock me? |
A42142 | Sure you will not say this Doctrine is of the Reformation or can be safely believed? |
A42142 | The Lord, who is the Searcher of Hearts knows, you mis- conster my intentions: How can you say I intend to beat you from the Reformation? |
A42142 | The Popes Supremacy is the Doctrin of Popery, who doubts it? |
A42142 | The time may come that they may believe them all, and be still as good Reformers as now they are? |
A42142 | Was it not by the Popish Church? |
A42142 | Was it not from Luther and Zuinglius, that England received the Doctrin of the Reformation? |
A42142 | What Principle is this, which you seem to make the only destinctive sign of a Reformed, from a Papist? |
A42142 | What do you infer from this discourse? |
A42142 | What do you think of Justifying Faith? |
A42142 | What do you think, have not we a Church on earth establisht by Christ, wherein we are to live and serve him, and believe her Doctrin? |
A42142 | What is Calvanism, but what Calvin a particular Doctor judged to be the sence of Scripture against that same Church? |
A42142 | What is Quakerism, but honest Naylor''s Godly and Pious Sentiments upon Scripture? |
A42142 | What must a Man believe for to be a true Reformed? |
A42142 | What need therefore of a Bible for to have Religion? |
A42142 | What say you to the Presbyterians, who prefer their own Sense and Interpretation of the Bible, before that of the Church of England? |
A42142 | What, not Paganism,, which adored a Multitude of Gods, for Christianity which adores but one? |
A42142 | Why? |
A42142 | Will a Presbyterian believe Episcopacy, because the Church of England says it''s the Doctrine of Scripture? |
A42142 | Will you believe Scripture, as it is Interpreted, and in that sense which, the Church, Councils, and Fathers propound unto you? |
A42142 | Will you say this is the Doctrine of the Reformation, or that we can without scruple believe it? |
A42142 | You can never settle any but this, That every Man may without let or hinderance, believe what be pleases; And why should not this be a good Religion? |
A42142 | You say they are Old condemn''d Hereticks; and does this Language become a Child of the Reformed Church? |
A42142 | and why will you not own the Arians,& c. as your Brethren, tho''you believe the Trinity against them? |
A42142 | can a man be a true Child of the Reformation, and yet believe the Popes Supremacy? |
A42142 | do not I insist and perswade you to stick fast to its Rule of Faith, and acknowledge no other but Scripture, as you understand it? |
A42142 | do not they persecute all Non- confor ● ists, as well as Popery? |
A42142 | do you call an exchange of Paganism for Popery( introduced by Austin) a Happiness? |
A42142 | have you met any thing in it, which shocks you? |
A42142 | or because she persecutes the Pro ● essors of it? |
A42142 | why was it not left in the Land? |
A42142 | would Luther have given this liberty if Transubstantiation had not been the Doctrin of the Reformation as well as any other? |
A42142 | you can hardly shew me any Tenet of Popery, but what is it''s Doctrin; what Doctrin more Popish than that of Confession and Absolution from sins? |
A40082 | & c. Where greater Rigour in the World in acting the Observation of the Church Laws? |
A40082 | A Spartan being asked, Quid sciret? |
A40082 | Again, how can any such Power deprive me of my Liberty to compare my Actions with such Rules as I think I am obliged to be governed by? |
A40082 | An Answer to this Question, Whether the Prescribing of Forms of Prayer, for the Publick Worship of God, be not an Encroachment upon Christian Liberty? |
A40082 | An Answer to this Question, Whether the Prescribing of Forms of Prayer, for the Publick Worship of God, be not an Encroachment upon Christian Liberty? |
A40082 | And as for these Motives, can the Heart of Man conceive any more powerful? |
A40082 | And can the Wisdom of man invent more plain, significant and full words, by which to express the Universality of Mankind? |
A40082 | And consequently, how can there be a greater Enemy than the Romish Church is, to that which we have proved to be the true, and most Excellent Liberty? |
A40082 | And dare they say, that he overshot himself in that saying, or passed a mere Complement upon the Corinthians? |
A40082 | And if it be so, what becomes of all those Texts wherein Obedience to Governours is with such strictness required of Christians? |
A40082 | And now what think we? |
A40082 | And therefore can it be thought a grievous thing that God himself should restrain our Liberty? |
A40082 | And think we this that so judge them that have done such a thing, and do the same and so much worse, that we shall escape the judgment of God? |
A40082 | And what great numbers did suffer here in England purely upon the score of Religion in the Reigns of King Henry the Eighth and Queen Mar ●? |
A40082 | And where are poor Mortals made such miserable Slaves as She makes them? |
A40082 | And where is the Lust of Pride and Ambition so gratified to the height as in the Church of Rome? |
A40082 | And, if you are obliged to these things by no Law, how are they Duties? |
A40082 | Are we so in love with the house of Bondage as to be well satisfied to make it the place of our perpetual Residence? |
A40082 | Are we so like Apes as to hug our Clogs, and so like Bedlams as to be fond of our Shackles? |
A40082 | Art thou called being a Servant? |
A40082 | As God said of old to Ierusalem, Wilt thou not be made clean, when shall it once be? |
A40082 | As also what dangerous and next to unavoidable snares doth she lay in the way of those mens Chastity, who would be glad to live honestly? |
A40082 | As for the Head of this Church, can there be a prouder or so proud a Creature upon Gods Earth? |
A40082 | As the Psalmist saith, If the Foundations be destroyed, what shall the Righteous do? |
A40082 | As to the Encouragement she gives to the satisfaction of this Lust, what can be greater than to make simple Fornication a Venial Sin? |
A40082 | But doth not the Relation of a Son necessarily infer Obligation to Obedience? |
A40082 | But what a manifest Circle is this? |
A40082 | But what is it to put an affront upon Authority, if publick Endeavours to withdraw People from Obedience be not so? |
A40082 | But what proof is there of Christ''s having purchased such a Liberty as this? |
A40082 | But who can have the Forehead to fasten such high Presumptions as these upon our Church? |
A40082 | But who seeth not how this tends to beget in mens Minds a most Low and Undervaluing, Gross and Impure Conception of the Deity? |
A40082 | But you will say, how shall I know that I am in the Book of life? |
A40082 | But, Si populus vult decipi, decipiatur, If Folk will be thus cheated and made a prey of, who can help it? |
A40082 | Can he easily conceive of God as a most pure Spirit, that useth to feed his Eyes, and foul his Fancy with bodily Representations of Him? |
A40082 | Can make me Condemn when I ought to Acquit my self, or Acquit when I see reason to Condemn my self? |
A40082 | Can so give Laws to my Conscience, as to necessitate me to receive them for such, and to think them good Laws, and safe to steer my Actions by? |
A40082 | Can we be so unconcerned at what King IESVS hath done for our Redemption, as to refuse to embrace his offers of it? |
A40082 | Can we have such a Hope as this, such a Blessed Hope( as the Apostle calls it) and not heartily endeavour to purifie our selves as God is pure? |
A40082 | Did I say, that these Fearful Threatnings are designed to awaken the most Disingenuous, Stupid and Obdurate Souls? |
A40082 | For how could it follow from hence, that Christ died for some, that therefore all without exception were dead? |
A40082 | For if we be acknowledged to be Competent judges of the true meaning of some Scriptures, why not of all that are as easily intelligible as those are? |
A40082 | For the young Man asking which Commandments? |
A40082 | For where God saith, If I am a Master, where is my Fear? |
A40082 | Had we rather still toil in the Brick- Kilns of Egypt than inherit and possess the good Land; the Land of Peace and Rest, Liberty and Joy? |
A40082 | Hath Christ Iesus taken such an admirable course in order to our being set free from the power of Sin, and its dismal Effects? |
A40082 | Hath he paid so Excessively dear for us, and can we be content that after all he should lose his Purchase? |
A40082 | Hath not our Blessed Lord done Abundantly enough to make us Free indeed; To set us at Liberty from Sin and to Righteousness? |
A40082 | Have they all of them put together done the half quarter part of that Service in this kind, that One Excellent Dean of our Church hath done? |
A40082 | He makes no exception of Sinners or Lost persons, and therefore what can they be less than All Mankind? |
A40082 | How shall I in enquiring after my particular sins, in deed, word and thought, assure my self that I have used my utmost diligence? |
A40082 | How shall I try my self to be elect of God to everlasting life? |
A40082 | I lay down my life for my sheep: But did he ever say, I lay down my life for none but my sheep? |
A40082 | I say, if every one of us can not be certain that Christ died for him, and consequently for all, what motive to obedience can his Death be to us? |
A40082 | If Tully could say of the Lustful man, An ille mihi liber videtur cui mulier imperat? |
A40082 | If a Son shall ask bread of any that is a Father, will he give him a stone? |
A40082 | If we can be Certain, why then not of the truth of the whole Scripture as well as of this single Text? |
A40082 | In short, Who needs Arguments to convince him, that the Church of England is at present our onely Bulwark against Popery? |
A40082 | Is he not also of the Gentiles? |
A40082 | NOW then, after all that hath been said upon this weighty Argument, shall we continue as negligent and cold as ever in Asserting our Liberty? |
A40082 | Nay, are we so void of all Sense as to be unconcerned at the unsupportable Misery which first or last will be the unavoidable consequent thereof? |
A40082 | Now did ever the word All signifie a few? |
A40082 | Now hath Christ been so wonderfully concerned for our Deliverance, and can we our selves be unconcerned? |
A40082 | Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a Serpent? |
A40082 | Or if he shall ask an Egge, will he offer him a Scorpion? |
A40082 | Or is it imaginable that such a one could listen to any temptation whatsoever to continue in Slavery? |
A40082 | Or that Christians are made Free from such Laws in either of these Sences? |
A40082 | Or under the ugly Figure of a Man- Cerberus, or a Man with three Heads upon his shoulders? |
A40082 | Or was it not such a Love as passeth knowledge? |
A40082 | Shall I think him a freeman who is at the command of a woman? |
A40082 | Shall that Liberty which deserves not to be named on the same day with this, be so highly set by, and can we tamely give up this? |
A40082 | So let me say to every Soul that lyeth under the Dominion of Corrupt Affections, Wilt thou not be set at Liberty, when shall it once be? |
A40082 | That She will not allow us the Liberty of judging for our selves? |
A40082 | That as many as fell by the Transgression of Adam, were designed to be recovered by the Righteousness of Christ? |
A40082 | That useth to Worship the Trinity under the Figure of an Old man, with a long Grey Beard, with a Crucifix between his Knees and a Dove in his Breast? |
A40082 | Then let us no longer cry out, O wretched men that we are, who shall deliver us from the body of this death? |
A40082 | This one hath he constituted Prince over all Nations and Kingdoms,( but what to do? |
A40082 | Was ever any miserable Slave heard of that might if he would be set at Liberty, and yet refused? |
A40082 | We ask again, how it appears that the Testimony of the Church is true? |
A40082 | We ask again, how it doth appear that those Notes and Characters they give are true and genuine, and, if they are, that their Church onely hath them? |
A40082 | We ask them, how it appears that the Scriptures are the Word of God? |
A40082 | What Earthly Power can make me Assent to or believe what it pleaseth? |
A40082 | What Heart is so hard as not to bleed at the mere Reading or Hearing such things as these? |
A40082 | What Humility greater than his, shriving himself daily on his knees to an ordinary Priest? |
A40082 | What Severity of life comparable to their Hermits and Capuchins? |
A40082 | What an Ocean of Bloud hath this Ravenous Beast shed of the Saints and of the Prophets of God? |
A40082 | What is Sordid Covetousness, Swinish Lust, Beastly Intemperance, Devilish Rage and Malice, what I say are all these less than so? |
A40082 | What is this but to take Christ''s work out of his hand? |
A40082 | What is this but to tread under foot the Son of God, and that Bloud whereby we are Redeemed? |
A40082 | What slovenly, what ridiculous, what bold and impudent expressions are ordinarily heard from them? |
A40082 | What would we not then gladly part with to regain them, when we are deprived of them? |
A40082 | Where less care or Conscience of the Commandments of God? |
A40082 | Who can believe but that these men would be far more severe Restrainers of Liberty, than those whom they so complain of? |
A40082 | Who poorer by Vow and Profession than their Mendicants? |
A40082 | Who wealthier than their Prelates? |
A40082 | Why do you transgress the Commandments of God by your Traditions? |
A40082 | Will we not exchange this worse than Egyptian Slavery for the Glorious Liberty of the Sons of God? |
A40082 | follows these two very fitly and pertinently, as we now read it, Are ye bought with a price? |
A40082 | he saith also, If I am a Father where is mine Honour? |
A40082 | thus: Are ye bought with a price? |
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 Act so Horrid, that has not past for a Divine Impulse; and( if it Hit) the Author of it for an Inspired Instrument of Iustice? |
A47927 | What Design could They have in That? |
A47927 | What Mortal can pretend to take it from ye? |
A47927 | What Prerogative have You above Your Fellows? |
A47927 | What Reason of State can You now produce that may Move his Majesty to Grant the Non- Conformists a Toleration? |
A47927 | What Sort of Ruine do ye mean? |
A47927 | What are their Names? |
A47927 | What could the Wit of Man add more to This Temptation to Apostacy? |
A47927 | What do ye think of Poland then? |
A47927 | What do ye think of Preston- Fight? |
A47927 | What do ye think of Rutherford? |
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 | What''s your Quarrel to''t? |
A47927 | Whence was the Original of Power, and what Form of Government was First, Regal, or Popular? |
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? |
A92140 | 1 Did the Oracle speak immediately to all the actors in the stoning? |
A92140 | 1, 2, 3. in tolerating false teachers? |
A92140 | 10. that we are not to beleeve, but to avoid? |
A92140 | 11. what need of witnesses? |
A92140 | 11? |
A92140 | 12. and enquire and make search, and aske diligently if the thing be truth and certaine? |
A92140 | 13 And to what Church, Sect, or Religious societie can the Christian Magistrate be a nurse- father by his office? |
A92140 | 13. formally denyed God the Creator? |
A92140 | 13? |
A92140 | 15. be as unlawfull as the drawing of the sword against false teachers? |
A92140 | 15. if it were arrogancie and an intruding upon Gods Cabinet counsel to judge a false Prophet by his doctrine to be a false Prophet? |
A92140 | 15. who say that God is a cow, a calf, a fish, why? |
A92140 | 17. by the Law then? |
A92140 | 18, holdeth he not forth that the Theif, the Robber, and the Slanderer are knowable? |
A92140 | 18. that they would make a new heart? |
A92140 | 2 Query, Were the people infallible in discerning the Priest to be a true relater of the mind of God from the Oracle? |
A92140 | 2 Was not the cutting off of the murtherer out of that good land, as typicall as the cutting off of the blasphemer? |
A92140 | 2 We thinke Mr. Williams Arguments weake and Anabaptisticall, we should not swear such a Covenant 〈 ◊ 〉 why? |
A92140 | 2 What a prophanation of the holy name of God bringeth this? |
A92140 | 23. only false Prophets, to whom he extended patience many hundred yeers, even from Moses till his owne coming in the flesh? |
A92140 | 24. must be spared 120 yeeres? |
A92140 | 24. would dissemble? |
A92140 | 3 And if he doe Good, and be an expression of the wisdome of God by being an heretick, why is he as chaffe casten in unquenchable fire? |
A92140 | 3 Is there any bodily punishment, but it is carnall and afflictive? |
A92140 | 3 Query, Was the Priest infallible in discerning the Oracle and relating the mind of God to the people? |
A92140 | 3. for rulers are not a terrour to good works but to the evil, wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? |
A92140 | 4 Is punishment, and cutting off from the Church by death typicall, because bodily? |
A92140 | 5 If we sift every graine of the text, we must say that the Magistrate makes a doubt, Lord, shall I draw the sword against bloody men and traytors? |
A92140 | A wounded spirit who can beare it? |
A92140 | Aman can not( saith the Bounder) beleeve at his own will, how much lesse at anothers? |
A92140 | An hereticke avoid,& c. when Solomon saith, Make not friendship with an angry man, is not the formality of anger in the heart? |
A92140 | And exhorts to it) an over- doing? |
A92140 | And how shall they beleeve in him of whom they never heard? |
A92140 | And how shall they judge hereticks sinning against a Gospell of which they never heard? |
A92140 | And must our lively hope be bottomed on mens credit and learning? |
A92140 | And since Mr. Goodwin acknowledgeth a supernaturall power of the Spirit of Grace to beleeve; what else doth this Spirit cause us beleeve, but lyes? |
A92140 | And the Pastors and Church, shal we cast out the leaven that leaveneth the whole lumpe? |
A92140 | And was not this fallible as well as ours under the new Testament? |
A92140 | And what is the quarrell, but divers Religions and waies of worship about Christ? |
A92140 | And what is this but the highest degree of banishment? |
A92140 | And what vengeance shall lye upon the stones, fields, of Romish Babylon? |
A92140 | And why did you simply without any limitation sweare to endeavour the preservation of the Reformed Religion? |
A92140 | And why may not we, notwithstanding of our fallibility and actuall erring, judge and drive away by the sword, devourers of the flock, as well as they? |
A92140 | And why was Jeremiah persecuted? |
A92140 | And why( saith Augustine) should Sorcerers find the rigor of the Law from Emperors, and Hereticks and Schismaticks go free? |
A92140 | And yet they deny not God the Creator, nor the Scriptures of the old Testament, and by this answer they are free of all bodily punishment? |
A92140 | Are not Papists though known Papists, to be Judges, and Members of Parliament? |
A92140 | Are there no powers ordained of God, but Roman Magistrates? |
A92140 | Are we not also unable to abstain from murther, adulterie,& c. without the supernatural grace of God? |
A92140 | Art thou made of the Kings Counsell? |
A92140 | Artaxerxes knew not the Law of God, which he confirmed, how then could be judge it? |
A92140 | As well as we may? |
A92140 | But Christ rebuked them and said, yee know not what manner of spirit yee are of? |
A92140 | But how? |
A92140 | But if it was sworne to as the Reformed Religion, was it not according to the word of God? |
A92140 | But the Apostles sought not Laws from the Emperors, by which Hereticks might be compelled to imbrace the sound faith? |
A92140 | But the Magistrate( say Liberti ● es) should not judge what is heresie, what sound doctrine, why? |
A92140 | But the particulars of your directorie of worship are not in Scripture, how then can the Magistrate punish for not following the Directorie? |
A92140 | But there were false Prophets also among the people, as there shall be false teachers among you? |
A92140 | But what warrant hath he, thus to make God the author of sinne? |
A92140 | But when did Christ sow the good seed of the Gospel first? |
A92140 | But why should they be punished then who blaspheme, commit Idolatry? |
A92140 | But why then may not a Christian Magistrate, as a Christian, if not as a Magistrate be a Vicar of Christ? |
A92140 | But will it not be bitternesse in the end? |
A92140 | Can a man be the lesse hereticall, and his society the lesse detestable then, that he thinks his heresie is sound doctrine? |
A92140 | Caspensis? |
A92140 | Did God ever accept of faith and repentance extorted through feare of a direfull sword? |
A92140 | Did not the people of Israel suffer the Gentiles to stay in their land, and enjoy their own Religion without troubling of them? |
A92140 | Either as a Parliament, and so by the sword: is not here yet the Prelates conscience squeezed to the blood? |
A92140 | Ergo Christ would not have faithfull pastors to complaine both to God, and to preach against Rulers who punish not uncorrigible adulterers? |
A92140 | Ergo Ministers should complaine to the Godly Magistrate of no omissions at all? |
A92140 | Ergo the Judges under the new Testament who accuse, judge and condemn adulterers, are not followers of Christ? |
A92140 | Ergo, We should extend to bloodie Murtherers of the Lords Prophets, the like patience, and not kill them, for then they are past hope of being gained? |
A92140 | Goodwin, who asserteth a Catholike toleration of all religions, upon the ground of weaknes of freewill, and want of grace? |
A92140 | How beleeved they then some lying Priests who persecuted the Prophets of God? |
A92140 | How did Caiaphas say, What need we any more witnesse, We have heard himself blaspheme? |
A92140 | How is not the killing of the murtherer typicall? |
A92140 | How is that proved? |
A92140 | How much better were it, if we would nourish peace and concord leaving interpretations free to every man? |
A92140 | How then did they say, he is worthy to dye? |
A92140 | Hypocrisie brings this? |
A92140 | If they thrust people away from the Lord that hath ransomed them from Hell? |
A92140 | Is it Popery to advise him so to doe; or to pray when he wants the Spirit? |
A92140 | Is not Christ as meek to whores, publicans, the theife and robber on the crosse, persecutors, and to seducing teachers and hereticks? |
A92140 | Is there no way to come to Gods harbour, but by sayling in the Devills boat? |
A92140 | It respecteth onely the Church of the Jewes, why? |
A92140 | Know ye we are selfe- condemned? |
A92140 | May not reading, interpunction, a parenthesis, a letter, an acc ● m, alter the sense of all fundamentalls in the Decalogue? |
A92140 | Mr. John Goodwin with better ground saith, they hold in all, for must we hold that which is good onely in non- fundamentalls? |

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? |
A29544 | & c. will ye run after Preaching? |
A29544 | ( 3) It will be an evil sign, both Diagnostick and Prognostick; will it not argue you to be much deserted of God, and left to your selves? |
A29544 | ( 3) Neither is the Question so much, What has the Magistrate done in all this, as, What has the Ministers accepted, or submitted unto? |
A29544 | ( 6) What reason is there to say this Cantonizing of those places and Ministers, and confining of the Gospel, is their sin? |
A29544 | 1. allow the like? |
A29544 | 1.7, 8? |
A29544 | 11.13, 14? |
A29544 | 11.1? |
A29544 | 12.8, 9, 10, 11. with 15, 16, 17, 18, 25? |
A29544 | 9.19 — 21? |
A29544 | Again, Are ye not Brethren? |
A29544 | Ah, how is almost every Bottle filled, not with Wine and strong drink, but a reeling Spirit mingled in, to make them stagger and fall? |
A29544 | And consequently the accepting thereof, an homologating and supporting of both? |
A29544 | And consequently, even that just power which did without controversie belong to the Crown before that unjust Superaddition? |
A29544 | And did not Moses and all Israel accept this Liberty when it was granted? |
A29544 | And does not your Ministers hold as little of the Magistrate as these did? |
A29544 | And how can ye believe it without a Scripture- Warrant? |
A29544 | And how is your Alledgance verified and made out? |
A29544 | And if God be with them, Christ speaking in them, how will ye dare to spurn at them, and kick them off? |
A29544 | And if others say, may not we defend that which we suppose to be a lawful liberty, against all attackers of it? |
A29544 | And in a complex busisiness, why might not the good be taken hold of, and the evil abstracted from, waved, and laid by? |
A29544 | And is dividing, biting, and devouring one another, fit providing for such a storm? |
A29544 | And is it not a fault to accept of such a straitned liberty? |
A29544 | And is it such a sin to take part of that Liberty, till God put it into the heart of the Magistrate to grant more? |
A29544 | And is not this a like case with your Brethrens, as to the point in hand? |
A29544 | And is not this an evil end? |
A29544 | And is not your Brethrens case just the same? |
A29544 | And is this your like piece of Liberty, though of a lesser size, not at all to be embraced? |
A29544 | And may not the Magistrate dispense with his own Law, in whole or in part, and call this very properly an Indulgence? |
A29544 | And may ye not be of one heart, till ye be of one way in things wherein ye differ? |
A29544 | And of their Accession to it, if any be? |
A29544 | And prescribe Rules and Directions to them, for the exercise of their Ministry, and confine them to the said Congregations? |
A29544 | And shall any of you( as some do) take that trade off their hand, blasting( so far as they can) every bodies Reputation not of their way? |
A29544 | And should they rob their own, to supply others? |
A29544 | And state the Question according to their mistaken Notion, and not according to Truth? |
A29544 | And that your reeling is like to undo all? |
A29544 | And the Agents Design being altogether extrinsick to it? |
A29544 | And the Ministers thereby Licensed, did they lawfully make use of that liberty, being withal most seriously called thereunto by the People? |
A29544 | And till the Charge be proved, is it not a sufficient answer to deny it? |
A29544 | And to accept that Indulgence, is it not to comply with that end? |
A29544 | And to build what he formerly did destroy? |
A29544 | And to open the door to Ministers which himself did shut? |
A29544 | And to prostitute their Ministry to gratifie the humors of men, even to sacrifice it to their discontents? |
A29544 | And to say no more, where ever this bitter root of rigid Separation does spring up, does it not defile many? |
A29544 | And utterly incapacitate your selves for Duty or Outgeate? |
A29544 | And were not this to set them up as Prelates and Dictators to their Brethren? |
A29544 | And were ye not but met with your own Ell- wand? |
A29544 | And what a scandal is it to see the Sons of Peace, as it were, intoxicated with the waters of Massah and Meribah? |
A29544 | And what have ye gained when this is done? |
A29544 | And what is this else but the very foam of envy, like the Patriarchs envying Joseph for their Fathers kindness unto him beyond them? |
A29544 | And what one says, be taken as an Oracle, and what another says, cryed down according to Interest and Affection? |
A29544 | And what peace will it yield you when accomplished? |
A29544 | And what sorer scourge can there be, than to be left of him to bite and devour one another? |
A29544 | And what, Shall there be, should there be no peace, until all be of the same outward Lot and Condition? |
A29544 | And whatever the Magistrate did overstretch in, what is it to the Ministers if they did not close with these excesses, as they did not? |
A29544 | And who are most to be blamed? |
A29544 | And who but Papists will say, but Ministers bodies and persons are under the Magistrates Jurisdiction as other mens? |
A29544 | And who can look upon this qualified and scriptural fixing, as a fault? |
A29544 | And who knows what a conviction this may produce in end? |
A29544 | And who knows what mollifying influence upon the heart of Rulers, your meekness in suffering might have? |
A29544 | And who of all the indulged did ever submit further unto it? |
A29544 | And who shall direct them where to go unto? |
A29544 | And why do not these Objectors go and labour in a more permanent way, in these needy places, and not be so oft where there is so little need? |
A29544 | And why do ye not convince your Brethren of it? |
A29544 | And will no such hazard induce you to let alone your intestine embroilments? |
A29544 | And will not your foes carefully improve such advantages against you? |
A29544 | And will that satisfie their Conscience, when it is said to them, as to Elijah, What dost thou here? |
A29544 | And will ye cast at the kind, because of defect in the measure? |
A29544 | And will ye cry out of others for breach of Covenant, and yet violate the same so grosly your selves? |
A29544 | And will ye yet contend in the very face of the Enemy, and Jaws of devouring- like danger? |
A29544 | And would ye not yet( as is informed) accept of a general Indulgence? |
A29544 | Are their( alledged) failings meerly Personal? |
A29544 | Are these his Doings? |
A29544 | Are they not like a wild Bull in a Net, full of the fury of the Lord, and of the rebuke of their God? |
A29544 | Are ye Preachers of Christ? |
A29544 | Are ye not become the scorn of the Adversary, the shame and sorrow of your friends? |
A29544 | Are ye not under their eye, who rejoice at the sport, clap hands and cry, Hui to the fray? |
A29544 | Are ye not united in Doctrine, Worship, Principles of Discipline and Government? |
A29544 | Are ye only skilful to destroy? |
A29544 | Are ye worse that it''s well, or any whit better with others? |
A29544 | Are your Brethren willing to let you enjoy your judgments, and serve your light in your own practice? |
A29544 | Being in it self lawful, does its Neighbourhood( in eodem subjecto) with what is counted unlawful, defile it? |
A29544 | Blame no ● one another, but rather each suspect himself, saying, Is it I? |
A29544 | But must ye over- stretch and go beyond your line and measure? |
A29544 | But should the innocent Object bear the blame of your Corruptions rising? |
A29544 | But to be more particular: What suppose ye the Evil Design to be? |
A29544 | But to come nearer the purpose: What is it displeaseth you at your Brethrens deed? |
A29544 | But was this ever counted a Relevant Objection against their Ministry, or for separating from them against the lawfulness of hearing them? |
A29544 | But what in all or any of these acts might be and is lawfully done? |
A29544 | But what? |
A29544 | But where hath he said that Ministers are to be tutored and led by the people? |
A29544 | But who will say, that because in Providence others bonds are not taken off, therefore they should have casten at the mercy of their liberty? |
A29544 | But will not wo be to them who widen breaches by evil whispers, and cunning surmises? |
A29544 | But, Dear Friends, Did ye find the first Indulgence bar the door upon, and not rather make way for, the second? |
A29544 | By this ground was not Esdra in a mistake, when he blessed God for a Nail in the Holy Place? |
A29544 | By what Almanack do ye Divine this? |
A29544 | Can a man have two charges at once? |
A29544 | Can any Relevant Exception be assigned against this? |
A29544 | Can there be no accommodating your differences? |
A29544 | Can there be no difference among you without division? |
A29544 | Can there be no peace with you, unless ye have leave to trail them at your heels? |
A29544 | Can they be excellent Architects, who build the Lords house by firing it, or pulling it in pieces? |
A29544 | Consider, What these Acts are? |
A29544 | Could ye gratifie them, and disadvantage your selves more than by such reelings? |
A29544 | Count ye what is granted to your Brethren, detracted from you? |
A29544 | Dear Friends, How prove ye this charge? |
A29544 | Did Grace, not humour predominate, and the fear of God awe you, durst some take the latitude they do? |
A29544 | Did Joseph quarrel or discharge the Butler to accept of his liberty, unless all his fellow- prisoners were partakers of the like? |
A29544 | Did ever Religion indeed thrive by such dividings and strivings of Ministers or People? |
A29544 | Did he not in the Usurpers time find you the most faithful party to him of any? |
A29544 | Did not John the Apostle submit to his Confinement unto Patmos? |
A29544 | Did not many of them say, it was the high way to break, undermine, and wear out their Government? |
A29544 | Did not worthy Luther once spoil his cause much by over- acting, and excess of fervour? |
A29544 | Did not your worthy Mr. R. Bruce submit to his Confinement unto Innerness? |
A29544 | Did they at all, in foro, Institute a trial and cognition of these or any other their Qualifications? |
A29544 | Dividers are certainly Subverters; and will ye burn down the Sanctuary into Ashes, while ye pretend to defend and uphold it? |
A29544 | Do not all know it was granted over their Bellies, and sore against their Mind? |
A29544 | Do ye like it, to put them to cry to God against you, and( like Job) to complain of their friends mockage, injustice, and cruel usage? |
A29544 | Do ye not read how defective many of the Angels in the Churches of Asia were, in fidelity against sins of the time? |
A29544 | Do ye not then put your selves out from under his leading and feeding hand? |
A29544 | Do ye think there can be no sinful excess of heat, violence and disorder, in prosecuting a good cause? |
A29544 | Do ye well to be angry? |
A29544 | Does any of you think it their glory to blow the Bellows, and to be ambitious who shall act highest in opposition one to another? |
A29544 | Does it offend you that the Magistrate intermedleth with Church- affairs? |
A29544 | Does not all that know the mystery of that matter, know that it was upon another occasion, and for another end? |
A29544 | Does not their non- acceptance, and non- observance, of these Rules, free them of all crime supposed to be therein? |
A29544 | Does the Accession or Conjunction of an Incompetent power, nullifie or corrupt the whole Systeme of the Regal Authority? |
A29544 | Does your Brethren persecute you as they do? |
A29544 | Doth magis& minus variare speciem? |
A29544 | Doth the Permitters Latent Intention defile the mercy, that it might not be touched? |
A29544 | From all this is it not plain, that their manner of entry is not so culpable as it is by some represented to be? |
A29544 | Further, Did not your selves generally allow of the first Indulgence? |
A29544 | Had it been an enemy,& c. How bitter is this? |
A29544 | Had it been unlawful to Zerubabel, to have accepted a considerable part of the Vessels of the Temple, if the other part had been kept back? |
A29544 | Had it not been as well your wisdom as duty, to have defeated their Design by your constant Unity,( though ye could not be of Unanimity?) |
A29544 | Hath it not been his uncontroverted practice, past memory of man, as to other poenal Laws? |
A29544 | Have ye forgotten the former Persecution, that ye are so soon fallen by the ears among your selves? |
A29544 | Have you any warrant to leave them before Christ leave them? |
A29544 | Have you not oft been made to say, the Indulged Ministers Preached best to souls cases, though ye said the Field- Preachers spoke best to the Times? |
A29544 | Here is strange Policy, instead of sound Divinity: What trouble cometh on any for refusing or not getting a share in the Liberty? |
A29544 | How Irrational were this? |
A29544 | How come ye then now to controvert it? |
A29544 | How could a thing, in it self so innocent, have any just and native tendency to such an end? |
A29544 | How does it appear that this was the scope of granting the Indulgence? |
A29544 | How instruct ye this to have been the drift and end of that Act? |
A29544 | How many can attest these undeniable Verities? |
A29544 | How many of the outed Ministers lye by in corners, less extensive in their usefulness to the Church, than the Indulged? |
A29544 | How much sooner might ye get a good account of matters, if ye did put them more in Gods hand, who has the Balm of Gilead for such sores? |
A29544 | How oft has some of you spoken of a blessedness in their Ministry, before ye were put upon your dividing notions, and took up prejudices at them? |
A29544 | How then can ye say, that to this Act of Supremacy the Indulgence oweth its whole legal being? |
A29544 | How will such a Paradox- Point be made out? |
A29544 | If any say, May and ought we not to testifie against the corruption which we suppose to be in the Indulgence? |
A29544 | If ever ye heard them ordinarily, can ye deny but ye have seen it evident, that God was in them, and with them? |
A29544 | If it be said, Then what shall be done to supply the needy parts of the Land? |
A29544 | If not,( as no sober, rational, man, will think ye should) why judge ye otherwise of this partial Liberty? |
A29544 | If the thing was just and right in it self, you and your Brethren were not to ask quo jure, the King took it on him? |
A29544 | If these Ministers should causelesly, or for trivial or tolerable faults, Excommunicate you, would ye not judg it their sin? |
A29544 | If trouble befal them upon other accounts, what is that to the Indulgence? |
A29544 | If ye say, by his Majesties Letter they were appointed to License only Sober and Peaceable men; and is not this to judg of their Qualifications? |
A29544 | If ye state your selves into parties, as the Corinthians did, how will ye avoid being puffed up for one against another? |
A29544 | In all this Detension, are not your Ministers merely passive? |
A29544 | Is Shimei''s vice now become a a virtue? |
A29544 | Is aut Caesar, aut nihil, your Principle? |
A29544 | Is confident asserting, enough to ground such an heavy Accusation? |
A29544 | Is difference of judgment in every lesser thing, inconsistent with unity and peace, concord and communion in things wherein ye are aggrieved? |
A29544 | Is it I? |
A29544 | Is it not just so in your Brethrens case? |
A29544 | Is it not servile man- pleasing, and cowardize to do so? |
A29544 | Is it the Name of Indulgence? |
A29544 | Is not Confinement( upon their part) a sad piece of suffering? |
A29544 | Is not Division always distempering, and the very Moth and Canker- worm of the life of Piety? |
A29544 | Is not God to be eyed and stooped unto in this, and to be waited on by faith and patience till it be otherwise? |
A29544 | Is not Popery, that devouring Leviathan, at your gates, ready to be ushered in by it? |
A29544 | Is not Schism one of your abjured ills, and contrary to the Word of God, as well as Prelacy? |
A29544 | Is not as well he that condemneth the just, as he that justifieth the wicked, an abomination to the Lord? |
A29544 | Is not their Deed then, in accepting such an ill circumstantiated Liberty, most disallowable? |
A29544 | Is not this difference of dealing to be stooped unto and adored, and not to be quarrelled? |
A29544 | Is not this that which their very souls longed for? |
A29544 | Is the Ministers defect the Hearers sin? |
A29544 | Is the exercise of their Function the worse, that the liberty thereof is not taken at their own hand? |
A29544 | Is there any persecution or grief like to this? |
A29544 | Is there no accursed thing among you, which makes you fall before the Adversary? |
A29544 | Is there no golden mediocrity betwixt fiery zeal and Laodicean luke- warmness? |
A29544 | Is this acceptable service to the Prince of Pastors? |
A29544 | Is this the Spirit of the Lord? |
A29544 | Is this the mean to make Christs Kingdom and Crown flourish, by setting his faithful Friends and Subjects at variance? |
A29544 | Is your Breach wide as the Sea? |
A29544 | Is your liberty taken so Divine? |
A29544 | Look what advantage ye think their going abroad would do to other places; would it not damnifie their own people as much? |
A29544 | Look, whatever Religion seemeth to gain in a parcel, doth it not lose much more in the Bulk, in a factious time? |
A29544 | May every man abound in his own Sense, and fasten that upon it which his roving Fancy leads him to dream to have been the purpose of it? |
A29544 | May it not suffice you to do that in your station which serveth to exonerate your Consciences, and deliver your soul from the guilt of accession? |
A29544 | May not people object the same against one another, to whom Providence carves out various Lots? |
A29544 | May ye not say the same of all Laws? |
A29544 | Moreover, Is not Schism a breach of your Covenant, as well as Prelacy? |
A29544 | Moreover, does it not( as it were) divide Christ and his Heritage into pieces? |
A29544 | Moreover, we ask, were the Heathen Kings, forementioned, Prophets? |
A29544 | Moreover, were this Principle admitted, how desperate would it render the case betwixt your Church and the Magistrate? |
A29544 | Moreover, what a black Omen will it be of Gods forsaking the Land, and being about to give a Bill of Divorce to your Church? |
A29544 | Moreover, what do ye by filling peoples heads with such intangling controversies, but divert their minds, and take them off the main thing? |
A29544 | Mr. Rutherford to his at Aberden? |
A29544 | Must duty be deserted because any stumble on it? |
A29544 | Must ye cast out and contend, when ye can not all be of the same mind, in such inferiour things, albeit ye agree in the Main? |
A29544 | Must ye have all, or will ye take nothing? |
A29544 | Must your Brethren tarry and take part with you, merely for company- sake, and let the Lords work, to which they have a call and free access, stand? |
A29544 | None to stand in the Gap? |
A29544 | Not a plant of Gods planting? |
A29544 | Now say ye, How could the Magistrate lawfully make, or Ministers accept, such an Indulgence, namely, so clogged? |
A29544 | Now what are the Ministers concerned farther, than as to what they have accepted, or yielded submission unto? |
A29544 | Now who can warrantably say, this indulged liberty is of that nature? |
A29544 | Now who will not think such a Posterior oneration altogether extrinsick to the disposition, and no ways to affect the Estate or Successor? |
A29544 | Now, Dear Friends, all these things considered, how little ground seems there to be for making so great a stir, as ye do? |
A29544 | Now, how unchristian is it to depart from their Ministry, with which Christ continues yet his presence? |
A29544 | Now, may not these eminent Divine Assistances, Successes, and Proofs of acceptance, abundantly compense all your tears, sufferings, and sorrows? |
A29544 | Now, upon all this, what just ground of out- cry is there against your honest Brethren? |
A29544 | Now, what doth it import to the Ministers, whether the Peoples call did precede or follow the Prince his Civil License? |
A29544 | Now, what is exceptable against this? |
A29544 | Now, what is the call or mission they have to that work? |
A29544 | Of a truth God is in them? |
A29544 | On this score who are put to suffering? |
A29544 | Or did any blame him for seeking and accepting it? |
A29544 | Or is it a sin in the Wife, Son, or Servant, to submit unto, or make use of, the exercise of the one, while he doth not disclaim the other? |
A29544 | Or is the pure and free Preaching of the Gospel by them, any harm to the Church? |
A29544 | Or like distracted Mariners falling by the ears together, while the swelling Sea and raging Storm is like to sink the Ship and you both? |
A29544 | Or might, and should one Nation refuse the liberty of the Gospel, because all other Nations has not the like? |
A29544 | Or what reason hath any to object, if the people was satisfied with the Minister Licensed, and did cordially call him? |
A29544 | Or, Is this the way for the Gospel''s prospering? |
A29544 | Or, These good Chirurgeons who know no other method or means to heal, but by Dislocation, Amputation, or other the like dogged Cures? |
A29544 | Or, are their faults some lesser failing in the discharge of their Ministry? |
A29544 | Or, are their( alledged) faults in the way of their coming to the publick, free exercise of their Ministry? |
A29544 | Or, what is it to any that takes the favour, and makes good use of it, and concurreth not with the alledged ill Design? |
A29544 | Or, when and where he shall have Audience,& c? |
A29544 | Or, would doing the same, conclude you under the guilt of compliance with the Narrative and grounds whereupon the Ruler permits it? |
A29544 | Or, would the Indulged, their refusal of their Liberty, lenified the Magistrates offence, and protected all the rest from suffering? |
A29544 | Others also to theirs, in Kintyre, Boot, Arran,& c? |
A29544 | Ought not Justice to preponderate to works of Charity? |
A29544 | Remember, that it is the Magistrates fault, not your Brethrens, that ye are not all equal sharers: Why then do ye let forth your Crab at the Innocent? |
A29544 | Shall any think nothing pleaseth now, but what is cross the grain of Authority? |
A29544 | Shall it be a right door for the one to enter in at, which is reckoned wrong in the other? |
A29544 | Shall it be counted vice in the one, which is counted virtue in the other? |
A29544 | Shall it be that Dum aguntur partes, perit Saguntum? |
A29544 | Shall not God visit for these things? |
A29544 | Shall they have no such Adversaries as you whom they love and desire to be at peace with? |
A29544 | Shall ye be sharper scourges in their sides, and thorns in their eyes, than any others? |
A29544 | Should there be no peace among you, unless all be in the same case, and have the same Lot? |
A29544 | Si in Necessariis servaremus unitatem; in Adiaphoris, Libertatem; in utrisque charitatem; quàm multò meliùs se haberent res Ecclesiae? |
A29544 | The Magistrate his interposing his Authority in this case, what place holds it then, say ye? |
A29544 | The Prelates indeed count it no small evil, and are you and they in so far agreed? |
A29544 | The Prelatick violence is indeed sad enough; but what in comparison of the Papistick, which is at your door? |
A29544 | The Priests Lip ● shall preserve knowledg, and men should seek the Law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts? |
A29544 | They who bear them lightly, or rejoice in them, what a deserted and distempered frame must they be in? |
A29544 | Thinking that as Dagon could not stand before the Ark, neither Prelacy beside any little of Presbytery, without losing ground daily? |
A29544 | This is the true state of the Controversie betwixt you and your Brethren; what is your quarrel at it? |
A29544 | V. Consider in sober sadness, what cause is there for all your outcry? |
A29544 | Was not Hannibal ad Portas, a strange alarm to the Romans to lay by their private jars, and unite against their common danger? |
A29544 | We answer, doth the spotless and holy Lords making his Sun to shine, and rain to fall as well upon the unjust as the just, tend to harden them? |
A29544 | We demand, What is this great necessity, so much decantated and objected against the Indulged''s Fixing? |
A29544 | Were Christs Cloaths taken from him, what forbids, but ye might lawfully receive back his Coat to put upon him, until ye get his Cloak also? |
A29544 | Were it Rampant Romanists, or Inimical Prelatists, or foul mouth''d Sectaries, who thus battered at honest Ministers, it were more tolerable? |
A29544 | Were it not better make one real Christian, then proselyte twenty to your side and party? |
A29544 | Were not such Litigations a bogling at Shadows? |
A29544 | Were this true, why then has the Prelates and their Friends such an antipathy against it? |
A29544 | What Erastianism then, or Ecclesiastical Supremacy was here? |
A29544 | What Reason can there be to debar such an one from interposing to redress what himself hath overturned, more than his Successor? |
A29544 | What Scripture or Reason pleads against this, or proveth the Accepters Sin? |
A29544 | What a Paradox were it to assert that? |
A29544 | What a Token for good would this be? |
A29544 | What a door might that open to Confusion? |
A29544 | What a pitiful taking would ye and they be in by such Contradictions and Invectives? |
A29544 | What a strange Principle were this? |
A29544 | What a trick has some of stigmatizing things with odious and terrifying names, thereby to boggle simple and well- meaning people? |
A29544 | What accession then hath Brethrens acceptance, to the trouble of the Refusers? |
A29544 | What advantage is it to the Gospel, to break so many faithful mens Ministry? |
A29544 | What are these? |
A29544 | What are your racked Inferences, forced Imputations, and strained misconstructions, but fancies of your own brains? |
A29544 | What fatal judgments doth it portend? |
A29544 | What ground in Scripture is there for this? |
A29544 | What ground then is there, of stumbling at them, upon this Head? |
A29544 | What has these indulged men done, that ye rate them, and persecute them more largely and briskly than ye do any of the other? |
A29544 | What higher provocations are there, than those of Sons and Daughters? |
A29544 | What hinders but it may be wanted without any detriment to the relation? |
A29544 | What if they be innocent of that you charge upon them? |
A29544 | What if you be in a mistake as those were? |
A29544 | What if you require more than is really expedient? |
A29544 | What is Satans great Engine, and consequently his design for marring your good of Ministers; but by stating prejudices in your minds at them? |
A29544 | What is it but the corruptions, not the Graces of good men, which maketh them jar? |
A29544 | What is that Project ye suspect? |
A29544 | What is the quarrel? |
A29544 | What is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, but 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A29544 | What more could have been done in such an extraordinary case? |
A29544 | What necessity is there of this? |
A29544 | What needed these Ministers any new Election or Call, who were, by the Indulgence, returned to their own former Charges? |
A29544 | What probability or ground of Assurance can ye produce for such an expectation? |
A29544 | What profit reap they by being inveigled into such quick- sands? |
A29544 | What service were that to Christ, or his Kingdom? |
A29544 | What thanks will ye get for joining issues with them? |
A29544 | What then did they in this matter, without their sphere? |
A29544 | What then? |
A29544 | What unfair dealing is this? |
A29544 | What will probably become of such a distracted divided company; crumbled into so many Atoms and Fractions? |
A29544 | What will such distractions resolve into at last, if the Healer of the Nations prevent it not? |
A29544 | What will this sickness terminate into? |
A29544 | What would the Protestants in Hungary and Spain esteem of the like favour? |
A29544 | What would ye give the Adversaries leave to do but to make you odious with slanders, that your Cause may stink, and your name rot above the ground? |
A29544 | What''s your difference then but about the application of Principles to some Hyp ● theses or particular cases and practices? |
A29544 | What, are ther ● not enow of hands besides to overtake that work, were they all put to it, and regularly disposed of? |
A29544 | What, are there no healing Medicines, nor healing men among you? |
A29544 | What? |
A29544 | Whether is it better to Preach with the Magistrates good leave, or without it? |
A29544 | While we know only in part, will there not be perpetually different measures of light? |
A29544 | Who can meddle with such a flame as is kindled amongst you, and not burn his face or fingers, even when he casteth water to quench it? |
A29544 | Who can say, their Levites were Jehoshaphats Curates, and not the Lords Ministers, for undergoing the like appointment of his power? |
A29544 | Who made these Rulers over their Brethren? |
A29544 | Who may say to him what dost thou? |
A29544 | Who will charge such a Magistrate as guilty of accepting the Office cum onere, with the burden of the legally annexed Declaration? |
A29544 | Why are ye so subservient thereunto by your contradiction and contention about the Indulgence? |
A29544 | Why do you not go to your charges again, but persist in submission to your Ejection? |
A29544 | Why grudge ye? |
A29544 | Why have ye not ere now seriously Remonstrated this dreadful guilt to themselves, and not whispered it in corners unto others? |
A29544 | Why should your eye be evil where the Lords Hand is good? |
A29544 | Why then are the Indulged mens entry quarrelled as sinful, and their Ministry as defiled, who yet wanted not the peoples full call? |
A29544 | Why then will ye Strain, Force, and Father it upon that his Transcendent Supremacy, when himself does not so? |
A29544 | Why, what crime is this? |
A29544 | Will it not be but a poor vassalage to preach down you ● Brethren, while ye should preach up Christ? |
A29544 | Will neither by- past experience( the School- master of very fools) nor present fears and peril warn you? |
A29544 | Will not this be Marah, bitterness in the end? |
A29544 | Will ye be like Archimedes, who while he was busie at his Mathematical Lines, the Enemy entered the Town, and killed him at his Skeams? |
A29544 | Will ye be like the foolish Knights of Cadmus, who never ceased Fighting among themselves, while there were any to maintain the quarrel? |
A29544 | Will ye be stricter and holier than he? |
A29544 | Will ye cast off whom the Lord casts not off? |
A29544 | Will ye either have all or nothing, and despise a day of small things? |
A29544 | Will ye not be pleased if suffering befal you, unless all drink of that same Cup; albeit in Providence they be not called unto it? |
A29544 | Will ye not cease your Animosities, till the Popish Sword end the quarrel? |
A29544 | Will ye not hear a Conformist? |
A29544 | Will ye say they should go proprio motu, of their own heads? |
A29544 | Will ye still dash upon that Rock on which the Church of Christ hath so oft split, and God hath set up so many Beacons of his Displeasure? |
A29544 | With whom is this Urim and Thummim ● ore than with his holy ones? |
A29544 | Would you think it valid reasoning? |
A29544 | Ye complain of your Brethrens want of success, as Peninnah upbraided Hannah with her barrenness; but do not ye much mar their fruitfulness? |
A29544 | Yea, Is he not the more concerned to do the Cure? |
A29544 | Yea, and count it an unpardonable crime to accept of a Day of small things, till God incline the hearts of Rulers to condescend to further? |
A29544 | Yea, though they did put forth both their Actings beside other, in different points, in one and the same Complex Law? |
A29544 | Yet did they not settle Pastors in every Church and every City, as they could have access? |
A29544 | Yet if any of you be found weak, raw, unstudied Divines, will it not reflect upon all, and blemish the party? |
A29544 | abjured with that same breath wherewith ye renounce it and Popery? |
A29544 | afflicts his Church and Servants? |
A29544 | and Mr. D. Dickson, to his at Toraff? |
A29544 | and a solemn Introduction of him into his work? |
A29544 | and all alike condemned as guilty? |
A29544 | and all be Anathematized that differ in the least from you? |
A29544 | and answer the questioning of your being sent of God, being proofs of Christ speaking in you? |
A29544 | and be in hazard to turn aside by the flocks of the Companions? |
A29544 | and bold to treat the friends of Christ like foes? |
A29544 | and can ye be innocent, when as groundlesly, or for frivolous reasons ye cast them off, and in a sort depose them? |
A29544 | and demolish them into a ruinous heap? |
A29544 | and diversity of Apprehensions in many things? |
A29544 | and leads many to sinful compliance with dividing courses? |
A29544 | and may not the world wonder at it? |
A29544 | and not render it unlawful for you to hear them Preach the Gospel to good purpose? |
A29544 | and persecute them as Apostates, before ever ye wair an admonition on them? |
A29544 | and refuse a lawful Liberty of a necessary duty, only because others are not pleased, or not partakers? |
A29544 | and shall they be counted sinners for suffering? |
A29544 | and so threap upon the subjects, that they are terms, though no consent be explicitely sought? |
A29544 | and that his separating between the Office and the Declaration, is morally impossible, and but a cheat? |
A29544 | and that it is no Erastianism at all to dispose of them? |
A29544 | and that your quarrel at the Indulgence is, that it is granted, not taken? |
A29544 | and the Canaanite and the Perizite in the Land? |
A29544 | and the extraordinariness of the case, did it not sufficiently dispense with, and excuse the want of that usual point of Order? |
A29544 | and their Liberty, your Misery? |
A29544 | and theirs granted, an illegitimate or Bastard- brood, as in your papers ye call it? |
A29544 | and these born in upon people as Divine Oracles, and certain Truths? |
A29544 | and to live in peace with you, notwithstanding the difference? |
A29544 | and to propagate your private opinions more than the power of Piety? |
A29544 | and turn Religion into factions and debates? |
A29544 | and wear them out of heart- tenderness, real exercise of Conscience, and the serious study of universal Holiness? |
A29544 | and where are the Fruits of your Repentance? |
A29544 | and why should it be denied him in this kind more than in others? |
A29544 | and will he no more regard them?) |
A29544 | and will not ye be content, unless ye impose your apprehensions upon them, and have them conform unto, and lackey after your opinion and practice? |
A29544 | and will ye rent at such a rate about the Application of one principle to a particular case? |
A29544 | and with whom they agree in all things( almost) else? |
A29544 | and would savour of Levity or Captiousness? |
A29544 | and yet friendly enough toward Schism, Error, and some other things repugnant to the Word of God, and your Covenants, as well as these? |
A29544 | and yet make little conscience to practise what ye hear? |
A29544 | and yet make no conscience of lying, slandering your Neighbour? |
A29544 | and yet what greater engine is used by some to breed and feed your Differences, than this artifice? |
A29544 | are not sufferers to be held innocent? |
A29544 | are not ye and they agreed in chiefest Principles and These s? |
A29544 | because their Brethren of the Ten Tribes were not also permitted to return to their land, and concur in the Building? |
A29544 | being no other but a commutation or exchange of a lesser good for a greater? |
A29544 | counted it an hopeful beginning of good to your poor afflicted Church? |
A29544 | do they not rather plead for you, excuse your extravagancies; protect and shelter and feed you, so far as they can? |
A29544 | does his purpose, or private separate deed, infer any obligation upon his Assignee? |
A29544 | does not this unequal dealing say, nothing of this sort pleases you but what is taken at your own hand? |
A29544 | for, albeit it be the Magistrates fault to shut them up thus into corners, yet who can justly lay it to Ministers charge being sufferers therein? |
A29544 | formality, wantonness, waywardness,& c. and can that be but a plaguy fruit that groweth off so bitter a root? |
A29544 | have ye not the seal of your Ministry( a witness of Gods approbation) upon the hearts of many? |
A29544 | how incongruous and unkindly is that? |
A29544 | how much less with sick and feverish Brethren? |
A29544 | in so far as may be consistent with necessary Duties to the Church and Gospel, and in as far as they are not called by any duty to break it? |
A29544 | is it not as well a fatal- like as an unkindly thing, to see the sheep kicking at, pushing away, or running from their Shepherds? |
A29544 | is not a current, uncontroverted custom, equivalent to a Law? |
A29544 | may not theirs be just and lawful, though not according to Law, as well as yours? |
A29544 | may set up one Star to shine, and let another better lye by? |
A29544 | may still the old question be put unto you, Does your piety aed zeal lye all in Negatives? |
A29544 | might not the suffering part of the people grudg and quarrel in like manner, that all their Neighbours are not in Prison with them? |
A29544 | much more of a complete Restauration of the Church to her former Integrity? |
A29544 | must the failing of some few be cast upon all? |
A29544 | must your judgment be the Standard and Canon to every bodies else? |
A29544 | neither Emperour nor Senate,& c. as is there marked? |
A29544 | no diversity of apprehensions of things without running into Parties and contests about them? |
A29544 | not the real guilt of your Brethren? |
A29544 | or allow you to over- do or divide? |
A29544 | or allows an encroachment upon the Church and peoples Right? |
A29544 | or contrary? |
A29544 | or doth now so affect it, or the Exercise of their Ministry by it, as that they are wholly polluted thereby? |
A29544 | or for how long? |
A29544 | or infer them to be such as may not say to people, Over you hath the Holy Ghost made us overseers, but the King? |
A29544 | or private significations of his mind, import any thing in Law without Legal and timous Intimation? |
A29544 | or rather irritated him more, and drawn on suffering on themselves with others? |
A29544 | or should difference of lots divide your hearts and affections? |
A29544 | or state them guilty of Homologating an Erastian power, and establishing a spiritual supremacy in the Magistrate? |
A29544 | or to draw Disciples after you more than after Christ? |
A29544 | or to illegitimate their indulged Liberty, or their Ministry, so as it were unlawful to hear them? |
A29544 | or what edification unto people? |
A29544 | or what is it to the rest of the Brethren, who were never called before the Council, nor the Letter and its Contents read to them? |
A29544 | or, that it was their sin to take hold of it and improve it? |
A29544 | or, that one or more gets out of Prison, while others are detained? |
A29544 | or, that ye sinned if ye did Conventicle, meerly because of the Injunction of those Rules, albeit ye observed them not? |
A29544 | or, then people does, when they elect a Minister to themselves? |
A29544 | or, what Scripture requireth you to separate from one of that deficiency? |
A29544 | or, whether they be properly Ecclesiastical Canons( of the same formal and specifical Nature with Church- Decrees, about matters of Order)? |
A29544 | shall all your edg and sting be turned against them, no less upright than your selves? |
A29544 | shall your infirmity warrant you to censure others perfection? |
A29544 | so no less than Jehu''s furious march sufficient to exonerate you? |
A29544 | specially in leading unto error, if not profanity? |
A29544 | such as not being so free and full in Preaching and witnessing against the sins of the time,& c. do not these also sist upon themselves? |
A29544 | tell it not in Gath,& c. How much also of the indignation of the Lord doth Schismatizing import? |
A29544 | that is, while no duty occurs which can not be gone about without transgressing it? |
A29544 | the Prelatick parties enmity upon the one hand, and the fierceness of these male- contented friends upon the other,( and who may stand before envy? |
A29544 | the naked permitted liberty, to infer and cast upon them an Homologation of the whole contents of these acts? |
A29544 | to see men so careful to run from one evil, and so little tender to hold off another? |
A29544 | to sigh over you, and groan under you, and complain to God for your ticklishness, frowardness, and stiff- neckedness? |
A29544 | we have seen many unfleeced of their wool, yea torn in their flesh, by being involved in such thorns, but never any advantaged? |
A29544 | were they in this case not at all Christs Court, nor acting in his name as his Ambassadors, and not the Kings? |
A29544 | what Act of Judicial cognition, or definitive Determination concerning your Brethrens gifts, did the Magistrate put forth? |
A29544 | what fault is it to observe it, while it doth not compet with any duty? |
A29544 | what if your unclearness be your infirmity? |
A29544 | what more doth your hearing tend( natively) to harden and encourage those Ministers? |
A29544 | what partial and unjust dealing is this? |
A29544 | wherein have they homologate Erastianism, or a Spiritual Supremacy? |
A29544 | whilst the Prelatick party have overturned the whole Fabrick of her Government, and bears down all that joyn not issues with them therein? |
A29544 | who that looks with an impartial eye, may not see several things to be lamented in you? |
A29544 | why then single ye them out, and make them the Butt of this Objection? |
A29544 | why, what are these bad effects the acceptance of their liberty doth natively produce? |
A29544 | will ye agree with none that are not of your mind in every thing? |
A29544 | will ye not then be scorched, wax lean and wither? |
A29544 | yea, and tendeth to destroy Religion and his Kingdom? |
A29544 | yea, suppose ye seem to have Scripture to plead, what if you be mistaken of the sense or application, or wrest the same? |
A29544 | yet who finds any discord among them upon this account? |
A29544 | your wound incurable? |
A29544 | — What shall we do for our little Sister with her cancered Breasts? |
A29544 | —( 4) It is not the Question either, Whether or not it be lawful for Ministers to have closed with the whole complex of both these Acts? |
A48900 | 26. you tell me the Question between us, is, Whether the Magistrate hath any Right to use Force to bring Men to the true Religion? |
A48900 | 30 26 them? |
A48900 | A happy Discovery: What''s the Use of it? |
A48900 | A manifest Demonstration, ● … s it not? |
A48900 | Against whom? |
A48900 | And I ask you, Who ever said any such thing did follow from thence? |
A48900 | And I upon the same Ground reply; If lesser Degrees of Force will not prevail, what other means is there left but greater? |
A48900 | And as to Rites and Ceremonies, are there any necessary to Salvation, which Christ has not instituted? |
A48900 | And can he be encouraged to this, by hearing what others may gain by what( without Repentance) must cost him so dear? |
A48900 | And can you think less degrees of Force can work, and often, as you say, prevail where greater could not? |
A48900 | And do not you own that those who have that Power, ought to punish those who offend in rejecting the true Religion? |
A48900 | And here again I ask, Have all Men to whom this Cure is of absolute Necessity, been furnished with this necessary means? |
A48900 | And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
A48900 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
A48900 | And how shall they preach, except they be sent? |
A48900 | And if their own Words may not be taken; who, I pray must be Judg? |
A48900 | And if there be such a Right somewhere, where should it be, but where the Power of compelling resides? |
A48900 | And if this be not profaning them, pray tell me what is? |
A48900 | And is it not as true, that if they will, in their several Capacities, do what they may and ought, true Religion will also subsist without Force? |
A48900 | And is this for their good? |
A48900 | And may not Force thus be serviceable to bring Men to receive and imbrace Falshood? |
A48900 | And must all other Magistrates sit still, and not do their Duty till they have your Permission? |
A48900 | And that all the Papists in th ● … World go to Mass without believing it their Duty? |
A48900 | And to you asking again, who were of desperately perverse and obstinate Constitutions? |
A48900 | And what at last is their Commission? |
A48900 | And what can be done better to answer it, than to the Words I have above cited, to subjoin these following? |
A48900 | And when have they done this? |
A48900 | And when is the Magistrate, that has the care of Mens Souls, and does all this for their Salvation, satisfied that they have so considered? |
A48900 | And when, in your Opinion, is it presumable that any Man has done all this? |
A48900 | And where there has been the Relaxation of such moderate Penal Laws, the fruits whereof have continually b ● … en Epicurism and Atheism? |
A48900 | And wherein does that Str ● … ngth? |
A48900 | And who I beseech you must be Judg of that? |
A48900 | And who then is Judg of what is the Truth to be imbraced, but the Magistrate? |
A48900 | And who were incurable? |
A48900 | And why may not the Care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself? |
A48900 | And why was Force 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A48900 | Any Advice in it that you your s ● … lf would disown? |
A48900 | Are Men to be punished for refusing to imbrace the Doctrine, and submit to the Government of the proper Ministers of the Church of Geneva? |
A48900 | Are not greater to be used? |
A48900 | Are not these Expressions to set forth a deplorable Condition, and to move Pity in all that hear them? |
A48900 | Are there not those who are Members of your Commonwealth, who do not imbrace the Truth that must save them, any more than they? |
A48900 | Are you in earnest? |
A48900 | Are you sincere? |
A48900 | Aversion to the true Religion you say is of absolute Necessity to be ● … ured: What I beseech you is that true Religion? |
A48900 | Ay, but where do you say that Persecution is for the Salvation of Souls? |
A48900 | Besides, said he, who must be Judg whether the Magistrate knows or no? |
A48900 | Besides, when they are thus punished by their Magistrate for not conforming, what need they examine? |
A48900 | But I beseech you what Care is this of the Honour of God, and Mens Salvation, you speak of? |
A48900 | But all this you tell me, is just nothing to my purpose: Why I beseech you? |
A48900 | But could there be a more wild and incoherent Consequence drawn from it, than this; Therefore Dissenters must be punished? |
A48900 | But do I contradict any thing of this, when I say, that the Care of every Man''s Soul ought not to be left to himself alone? |
A48900 | But does all this tell us who are the desperately perverse and obstinate? |
A48900 | But how come you to know, that Force is necessary? |
A48900 | But how shall the Magistrate know when they upon Conviction imbrace, that he may then take off their Penalties? |
A48900 | But how will you prove that God has given the Magistrates of the Earth a Power to punish all Faults against himself? |
A48900 | But how, I beseech you, will this stand with your 13th Article? |
A48900 | But if Mr. Reynolds, in your Opinion, was misled by corrupt Ends, or secular Interest; what do you think of a Prince now living? |
A48900 | But if all Men have not Reason and sound Judgment, will Punishment put it into them? |
A48900 | But is it to all those competent, i. e. sufficient means? |
A48900 | But is that the the thing you mean by his applying Force only to a part of his Subjects? |
A48900 | But is yours more practicable? |
A48900 | But let us hear your Reason, For what Rule is there that expresses the Particulars that agree with it? |
A48900 | But let us take it so for once, what then is your Answer? |
A48900 | But must it be expected, that therefore they should all be of one Mind in things not necessary to Salvation? |
A48900 | But next, are these Creeds in the Words of the Scripture or not? |
A48900 | But pray, Sir, are there no Conformists that so reject the ● … ue Religion? |
A48900 | But the Question in debate is, as you put it, Whether any body has a Right to use Force in Matters of Religion? |
A48900 | But then I would fain know, why the same kind of Vsefulness, joined with the like Necessity, will not as well do it in the case before us? |
A48900 | But then you will ask, Is it not this Vsefulness and Necessity that gives this Power to the Father and Mother? |
A48900 | But then you will be asked again, Whether you know that he did those Miracles, as well as those who saw them done? |
A48900 | But to conclude this great Accusation of yours: If you were not conscious to your self of some Tendency that way, why such an Out ● … ry? |
A48900 | But to this you give a very ready Answer; Would you have the Magistrate punish all indifferently, those who obey the Law as well as them that do not? |
A48900 | But what if after all, now you should be found to prevaricate? |
A48900 | But what if all the means that can, be not used for their Instruction? |
A48900 | But what if he misapplies it to bring Men to a False Religion? |
A48900 | But what if they hold nothing, but what that other differing National Church does, shall they be nevertheless punished if they conform not? |
A48900 | But what is that to my Question? |
A48900 | But what is this I find here? |
A48900 | But what need of Force or Punishment for this? |
A48900 | But what then? |
A48900 | But where is the publick Law? |
A48900 | But who told you that the Majority of Mankind should ever be brought into the strait way, and narrow Gate? |
A48900 | But whoever is to be Judg of what is sound or decent in the case, I ask, Of what Vse and Necessity is it to impose Creeds and Ceremonies? |
A48900 | But why, I pray, all this boggling, all this loose talking, as if you knew not what you meant, or durst not speak it out? |
A48900 | But why? |
A48900 | But, Sir, I ask you who must be Judg, what is for the spiritual and eternal Good of his Subjects, the Magistrate himself or no? |
A48900 | But, said my Friend, who shall be Judg whether he be in the right or no? |
A48900 | By this Rule of yours, how long was there need of Miracles to make Christianity subsist and prevail? |
A48900 | By whom? |
A48900 | Can any one be saved without imbracing the one only true Religion? |
A48900 | Christ commanded simply to baptize in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; but the signing of the Cross, how came that necessary? |
A48900 | Convenient for what? |
A48900 | Could he have done better? |
A48900 | Could not our Saviour impower his Apostles to denounce or inflict Punishments on careless or obstinate Unbelievers, to make them hear and consider? |
A48900 | Did he do it without being convinc''d that that was the right? |
A48900 | Did the Christian Magistrates ever do so, who thought it necessary to support the Christian Religion by Laws? |
A48900 | Did the Penalties laid on Nonconformity make you consider, so as to study, be convinced, and imbrace the True Religion? |
A48900 | Did they, ever say so in those Laws? |
A48900 | Dissenting? |
A48900 | Do none of their Religions require the mortisying of Lusts as well as yours? |
A48900 | Do you not now admire your own Subtilty and Acuteness? |
A48900 | Do you then tell him which it is he must take, without Examination, and promote with Force; whether that of England, France or Denmark? |
A48900 | Does the Scripture say any thing of this? |
A48900 | For I ask you, since you lay so much stress to so little purpose on HUMANE Means, is some Humane Means necessary? |
A48900 | For I ask you, to what Purpose do you use any Degree of Force? |
A48900 | For can you say, if Punishments are to be used to prevail on any, that the greater will( where lower fail) prevail on none? |
A48900 | For does any one ever judg insincerely for himself, that he needs Penalties to make him judg more sincerely for himself? |
A48900 | For else what have we to do with HUMANE in the case? |
A48900 | For if they be true, what Pretence is there for Force to bring Men who are of them to the true Religion? |
A48900 | For if they be, why does not the Magistrate punish Envy, Hatred, and Malice, and all Uncharitableness? |
A48900 | For what does any Man mean by sufficient Evidence, but such as will certainly win Assent where- ever it is duly considered? |
A48900 | For what greater advantage can be given them, than to teach, that one may know the True Religion? |
A48900 | For what, I beseech you? |
A48900 | For what? |
A48900 | For will it not be Impiety to say, that God hath left Mankind unfurnished of competent, i. e. sufficient Means for what is absolutely necessary? |
A48900 | Force must have been applied to them, what therefore in the Primitive Church was to be done to them? |
A48900 | Force, you say, is necessary: what Force? |
A48900 | From any body? |
A48900 | From whom? |
A48900 | Give me leave therefore to ask, how it does it? |
A48900 | Has God revealed it in his Word? |
A48900 | Has it been revealed to you in particular? |
A48900 | Have no Dissenters considered of Religion? |
A48900 | Have they considered and examined enough, if they are satisfied themselves where the Truth lies? |
A48900 | Have those Ministers any other Religion to teach, than what is contained in the Scriptures? |
A48900 | Have you never heard of such a thing as the Religion establish''d by Law? |
A48900 | He instituted two Rites in his Church; Can any one add any new one to them? |
A48900 | He is to lay Penalties upon them, and continue them: How long? |
A48900 | Here I ask you, whether any humane Power can make any thing, in its own nature indifferent, necessary to Salvation? |
A48900 | His Providence which over- rules all Events, we ea ● … ly grant it: But why Extraordinary Providence? |
A48900 | How far? |
A48900 | How is it of a sudden, that they must be political Punishments? |
A48900 | How now is it apply''d in your Method? |
A48900 | How shall they hear without a Preacher? |
A48900 | How was Force used? |
A48900 | I appeal to all the World, whether this be not as just and natural a Con ● … clusion as yours? |
A48900 | I ask whether they are not in your Opinion out of the way of Salvation, who are not joined in Communion with the true Church? |
A48900 | I ask, Is it so decent that the Administration of Baptism, simply, as our Saviour instituted, would be indecent without it? |
A48900 | I asked, Since great ones are unfit, what Degrees of Punishment or Force are to be used? |
A48900 | I desire to know for what reason you except them? |
A48900 | I only ask you, whether Force, your way applied, be able to produce them? |
A48900 | I suppose you mean expresly forbidden, for else I might think these Words,[ Who has required this at your hands?] |
A48900 | I will ask you now, how it can be proved that such an one is guilty of rejecting the one only true Religion? |
A48900 | I will not trouble you here with a Question you will meet with elsewhere; Who in these Countries must be Judg of the true Religion? |
A48900 | I would fain know then, say you, why the same Vsefulness joined wit ● … the like Necessity, will as well do in the Case before us? |
A48900 | If Dissenting be not the Fault; is it that a Man does not examine his own Religion, and the Grounds of it? |
A48900 | If by not certainly, you mean it may any way, or to any degree prevent, why is it not so done? |
A48900 | If he must not, what must guide him in the punishing of some, and not of others? |
A48900 | If it will not, as it is evident it will not, to what purpose is this said? |
A48900 | If not being strictly necessary to Salvation, will excuse from Penalties in the one case, why will it not in the other? |
A48900 | If not he himself, who for him? |
A48900 | If not, why is a Word that signifies nothing put in, unless it be for a Shelter on Occasion? |
A48900 | If one Man will not be wrought on by as little Force as another, must not greater Degrees of Force be used to him? |
A48900 | If one should ask you how you knew it to be their Intention, can you say they ever told you so? |
A48900 | If the Degree be too great, it will, you confess, do Harm: Can one then not err on the other hand, by using too little? |
A48900 | If the Magistrate intended any thing more in those Laws but Consormity, would he not have said it? |
A48900 | If the Magistrate may punish any one for not being of the True Religion, must the Magistrate judg what is that True Religion or no? |
A48900 | If therefore the Religion of Dissenters from the true, be a Fault to be punish''d by the Magistrate; Who is to judg who are guilty of that Fault? |
A48900 | If they answered, in other Places, to what were found in these, as ● … hat reason is there to suppose they should not? |
A48900 | If they are not the Ends, why does the Punishment cease when those Ends are attain''d? |
A48900 | If they did, were not those, who persisted in Unbelief, guilty of a Fault? |
A48900 | If they do not reject the Truth necessary to Salvation, why do you punish them? |
A48900 | If they had not so considered in our Days, what, according to your Scheme, must have been done to them, that did not consider as they ought? |
A48900 | If this be not to compel them to the Magistrate''s Religion, pray tell us what is? |
A48900 | If you are not, you must bethink your self how to answer that old Question, — Sed quis custodiet 〈 ◊ 〉 Custodes? |
A48900 | If you can not lay your Hand on your Heart, and say all this, What then will be got by the change? |
A48900 | If you can shew no such place, do you not vouch Experience where you have none? |
A48900 | If you say it is for want of Consideration, must not your Remedy of Force be used to bring them to it? |
A48900 | If you say it is his Duty to be of it first; why then is not ● … orce used to him afterwards, though he be still ignorant and unconvinced? |
A48900 | If you say then, that by desperately perverse and obstinate, you mean incurable; I ask you again by what incurable? |
A48900 | If you say, Yes, he will ask you how you know it? |
A48900 | In England, having, as you do, excluded all the Dissenters( or else why would you have them punish''d, to bring them to imbrace the true Religion?) |
A48900 | In the Case before us, What are Men designed to be? |
A48900 | In the next Place, what is your necessary and sufficient means for this Cure that is of absolute Necessity? |
A48900 | In this, whether and how far any one is faulty, must be left to the Searcher of Hearts? |
A48900 | Is a Man negligent of his Soul, and will not be brought to consider? |
A48900 | Is he careless, and will not be at the Pains to examine Matters of Religion? |
A48900 | Is he, I say, commission''d to make them lie, and 〈 ◊ 〉 that which they do not believe? |
A48900 | Is it because they cease to be faulty? |
A48900 | Is it more eligible to those who have no other Thoughts of Religion, but to be of that of their Country without any farther Examination? |
A48900 | Is it more eligible to those who suffer by it, for following the Light of their own Reason, and the Dictates of their own Consciences? |
A48900 | Is it not those who contract the Church of Christ within Limits of their own Contrivance? |
A48900 | Is it of absolute necessity to be cured in all? |
A48900 | Is it that bare Preaching will prevail on no Men? |
A48900 | Is it to prevail with Men to do something that is in their Power, or that is not? |
A48900 | Is it useful and necessary to all Men? |
A48900 | Is that the Crime your Punishments are designed to cure? |
A48900 | Is the Magistrat commonly more careful of his own, than other Men are of theirs? |
A48900 | Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it? |
A48900 | Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it? |
A48900 | Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it? |
A48900 | Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it? |
A48900 | Is there no Remedy for this? |
A48900 | Let it be so; but do the Surgeons know who has this Stone, this Aversion so, that it will certainly destroy him unless he be cut? |
A48900 | Many are not prevail''d on by your moderate Force; What then is to be done? |
A48900 | May a Man of no distinguishing Character be admitted to the Privilege of them? |
A48900 | Men are to be punished: To what end? |
A48900 | Moderate Punishments have been tried, and they prevail not; What now is to be done? |
A48900 | Must it be the Ma istrate every- where, or the Magisrate in some Countries and not in others, or the Magistrate no- where? |
A48900 | Must these of his Subjects be neglected, and left without the means be has Authority to procure them? |
A48900 | Need not those of the National Church, as well as others, bring their Religion to the Bar of Reason, and give it a fair Trial there? |
A48900 | Next I ask you, Who are in your sense the desperately perverse and obstinate? |
A48900 | No: For what reason? |
A48900 | Not whatever your Church or Religion be? |
A48900 | Now if it be inquired, For what Fault Men are to be punished? |
A48900 | Now pray what do you mean by Mankind''s being furnish''d with competent Means? |
A48900 | Of what Use and Necessity is it among Christians that own the Scripture to be the Word of God and Rule os Faith, to make and impose a Creed? |
A48900 | Or can it be done without any one''s judging at all? |
A48900 | Or can they claim an Impunity by what I have said? |
A48900 | Or can you give an Instance of any one, in whom it produced this Effect? |
A48900 | Or else, must they be punished to make them consider and examine till they imbrace that which you chuse for Truth? |
A48900 | Or have all Conformists considered? |
A48900 | Or how can it be imagined, that they intend any thing but Conformity, by their use of Force; if they leave off the use of it as soon as Men conform? |
A48900 | Or how will the Magistrate answer for it, if he use Force to make Dissenters consider, and let those of his own Church perish for want of it? |
A48900 | Or if some that are in the way to Perdition, may be Members of the Commonwealth, why must these be excluded upon the account of Religion? |
A48900 | Or is it more eligible to the Priests and Ministers of National Religions every- where, that the Magistrate should be vested with this Power? |
A48900 | Or is not the Honour of God concern''d in their denying our Saviour? |
A48900 | Or is this your way of Force and Punishment? |
A48900 | Or last of all, Is it more eligible to all Mankind? |
A48900 | Or must he use Force upon them too? |
A48900 | Or was he convinc''d with Reasons and Arguments, not proper or sufficient to convince him? |
A48900 | Ought the Magistrate to punish these? |
A48900 | Pray what do you mean by Men, or any other of those indefinite Terms, you have always used in this Case? |
A48900 | Preaching and Perswasion are not competent Means, you say; Why? |
A48900 | Reasons and Arguments proper and sufficient to convince Men of the Truth of Falshood? |
A48900 | Shall the Magistrate who is obliged to do what lies in him, be exeused, for letting him be damn''d, without the Use of all the means was in his Power? |
A48900 | Shall we do Evil, that Good may come of it? |
A48900 | So that Ananias and Saphira were struck dead: For what end? |
A48900 | Take away the satisfaction of Men; Lusts, and which then, I pray, hath the advantage? |
A48900 | That it is not easy to set Grant ● … ani Steeple upon Paul''s Church? |
A48900 | That it is presumable that those who conform, do it upon Reason and Conviction? |
A48900 | The Law punishes all Dissenters: For what? |
A48900 | The Question is, How long they are to be punished? |
A48900 | The Question is, Whether the Magistrate has any Power to interpose Force in Matters of Religion, or for the Salvation of Souls? |
A48900 | The Words of St. Paul are these; How then shall they call on him on whom they have not believed? |
A48900 | They may not deprive Men of their Estates; I suppose you mean their whole Estates: May they take away half, or a quarter, or an hundred ● … part? |
A48900 | They may not maim a Man with corporal Punishments; May they use any corporal Punishments at all? |
A48900 | They may not starve and 〈 ◊ 〉 them in noisom Prisons for Religion, that you condemn as much as I: May they put them in any Prison at all? |
A48900 | Thirdly, How is your necessary Remedy to be applied? |
A48900 | This Duty of Charity is well discharged by the Magistrate as Magistrate, is it not? |
A48900 | This proving insufficient, what is the Magistrate to do? |
A48900 | This will be still the Question, Whether the Liberty of Toleration, or the Authority of the Powers in being, contributed most to it? |
A48900 | Those that 1 s. or 5 s. or 5 l. or 100 l. or no Fine will work upon? |
A48900 | Those who can bear loss of Estate, but not loss of Liberty? |
A48900 | To make them all conform, that''s evident; To what end? |
A48900 | To my Question, In whose Hands this Right( we were a little above speaking of) was in Turkey, Persia or China? |
A48900 | To my asking, What if God, for Reasons best known to Himself, would not have Men compell''d? |
A48900 | To my demanding, if you meant Reasons and Arguments proper and sufficient to convince Men of the Truth, why did you not say so? |
A48900 | To my demanding,` What if God would have Men left to their freedom in this Point, if they will hear or if they will forbear, will you constrain them? |
A48900 | To my demanding,` What if there be other Means? |
A48900 | To what end? |
A48900 | To which you reply, No Sir? |
A48900 | To your Question therefore, What is it that warrants and authorizes Schoolmasters, Tutors and Masters to use Force upon their Scholars or Apprentices? |
A48900 | Under what King''s Reign was it, that you are so positive it could have no such Aid or Assistance? |
A48900 | Very well; but who are those desperately perverse and obstinate, how shall we know them? |
A48900 | Was not the great God of the Eastern Nations, Baal, or Jupiter Bel ● …, one of the first Kings of Assyria? |
A48900 | We again ask, who are your Men of common 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A48900 | Were Miracles so used till Force took place? |
A48900 | Were any of the Americans of that one only true Religion, when the Europeans first came amongst them? |
A48900 | What Commission for this hath the Magistrate from the Law of Nature? |
A48900 | What I beseech you is the Crime here? |
A48900 | What Necessity now is there? |
A48900 | What Punishments I beseech you, for theirs cost them their Lives? |
A48900 | What can be more impertinent than to vex and disease People with the Use of Force, to no purpose? |
A48900 | What can you say but this? |
A48900 | What do you think of Mr. Chillingworth when he left the Church of England for the Romish Profession? |
A48900 | What do you think of one of my Pagans or Mahometans? |
A48900 | What if I or my Readers are not so learned, as to understand either the Greek Original, or 〈 ◊ 〉 Latin Comment? |
A48900 | What is it? |
A48900 | What is the Obedience the Law requires? |
A48900 | What is this necessary competent means that you tell us of? |
A48900 | What is to be done now? |
A48900 | What now in appearance can express greater Care to bring Men to the True Religion? |
A48900 | What now is a proper Means to produce this? |
A48900 | What now is the Magistrate by your Commission to do? |
A48900 | What now is the Means to preserve True Religion in the World? |
A48900 | What now is to be done with him? |
A48900 | What now must be done with them? |
A48900 | What reason have you for it? |
A48900 | What then is to be done? |
A48900 | What then? |
A48900 | What think you of So ● … inians, Papists, Anabaptists, Quakers, Presbyterians? |
A48900 | What think you of St. Athanasius''s C ● … eed? |
A48900 | What think you of those great Numbers of Japaneses, that resisted all sorts of Torments, even to Death it self, for the Romish Religion? |
A48900 | What two thinking Men of the Church of England are there, who differ not one from the other in several material Points of Religion? |
A48900 | What were those other Means? |
A48900 | What, I pray, is the Design of it? |
A48900 | What, every one''s Fault every where? |
A48900 | What? |
A48900 | What? |
A48900 | When is this End attained, and the Penalties which are the Means to this End taken off? |
A48900 | When they as soon as any Relaxation of those Laws took off the Penalties, left again the Communion of the National Church? |
A48900 | When was this, I b ● … eech you, that Idolatry found this Entrance into the World? |
A48900 | Where are the Canons of this over- ruling Art to be found, to which you pay such Reverence? |
A48900 | Where is the competent Number of Magistrates skilful in the Art, who must unanimously judg of the Disease and its Danger? |
A48900 | Where was it question''d by the Author or me, that whoever rebell''d, were to fall under the Stroak of the Magistrate''s Sword? |
A48900 | Whereas you your self own the Question to be, Whether the Magistrate has a Right to use Force in matters of Religion? |
A48900 | Whether any of the Americans, before the Christians came amongst them, had offended in rejecting the true Religion tendred with sufficient Evidence? |
A48900 | Whether in such a State they can or will think there is any need, or that it is to any purpose for them to examine? |
A48900 | Which hath produced this warm Reply of yours; And will you ever pretend to Conscience or Modesty after this? |
A48900 | Which the more dangerous Seducer, Lewis the XLVth with his Dragoons, or Mr. Claud with his Sermons? |
A48900 | Which, what is it, but to punish Men barely for not being of the Magistrate''s Religion; The very thing you deny he has Authority to do? |
A48900 | Who I beseech you is it in this Case that makes the Sect? |
A48900 | Who bids him consider? |
A48900 | Who can have the Heart now to deny any of this? |
A48900 | Who dares question such a Cause, or oppose what is offered for the promoting the True Religion? |
A48900 | Who is there almost that has not Prejudices, that he does not know to be so; and what can Force do in that Case? |
A48900 | Who now must be Judg, in these Cases, what are convenient Penalties? |
A48900 | Who requires it of them? |
A48900 | Who then is Judg of what they are to be instructed in, and the Means of Instruction; but the Law- maker? |
A48900 | Whom? |
A48900 | Why I beseech you discourag''d, if they be true any of them? |
A48900 | Why are Men averse to the true? |
A48900 | Why are you so reserved in a Matter, wherein, if you speak not out, all the rest that you say will be to no purpose? |
A48900 | Why might you not as well send them to the Scriptures, as to the Ministers and Teachers of the true Religion? |
A48900 | Why should not the care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself, rather than the Magistrate? |
A48900 | Why then do you so s ● … riously bemoan the loss of them? |
A48900 | Why then does not the true Religion prevail against the false, having so much the advantage in Light and Strength? |
A48900 | Why then, I pray, is it a more competent Means than Preaching, or why necessary, where Preaching prevails not? |
A48900 | Why was Modesty and Conscience call''d in Question? |
A48900 | Why? |
A48900 | Why? |
A48900 | Why? |
A48900 | Will Men, against the Light of their Reason, do violence to their Understandings, and for sake Truth, and Salvation too, gratis? |
A48900 | Will Punishment make Men know what is Reason and sound Judgment? |
A48900 | Will it follow from thence, that no good can be done by Penalties upon others, who are not so far gone in Wickedness and Obstinacy? |
A48900 | Will that serve the turn? |
A48900 | Will the examining the Controversy between the Magistrate and the Dissenting Subject, in this case, bring him to the Knowledg of the Truth? |
A48900 | Will these Immoralities by the Names any one shall give, or forbear to give to them, become Articles of Faith, or Ways of Worship? |
A48900 | Will you doubt his Sincerity, or that he was convinced of the Truth of the Religion he professed, who ventured Three Crowns for it? |
A48900 | Will you say the Magistrate is less expos''d in Matters of Religion, to Prejudices, Humours, and crafty Seducers, than other Men? |
A48900 | Without Excuse, to whom I beseech you? |
A48900 | Would you be for punishing some body, you know not whom? |
A48900 | Would you have him punish all, indifferently? |
A48900 | Yet 58 2 will not 69 8 give in to 71 13( for 17 himself) it 83 15 munion, excluding 108 34 named, it will 110 28 nishments? |
A48900 | You ask me, Whether the Mildness and Gentleness of the Gospel destroys the coactive Power of the Magistrate? |
A48900 | You ask what Means is there left? |
A48900 | You tell me, in the same place, I was impertinent in my Question,( which was this, For what then are they to be punish''d?) |
A48900 | and ought not the Magistrates of all Countries to take Care that it should be so? |
A48900 | and shew a Willingness not to doubt, where you have no Assurance? |
A48900 | and whether there can be any true Church without Bishops? |
A48900 | and would you have them punished too, as you here profess? |
A48900 | any thing that any worthy Clergyman that adorns his Function is concerned in? |
A48900 | at least can you be sure of it till they have been tried for the compassing these End? |
A48900 | by your lower Degrees of Force? |
A48900 | corrupt, and will not part with his Lusts, which are dearer to him than his First- born? |
A48900 | i ask you again; Are Penalties necessary because the End could not be obtain''d by Preaching, without them? |
A48900 | if not, how can the Magistrate impose them? |
A48900 | in bringing Men to an outward Profession of any, even of the true Religion, and leaving them there? |
A48900 | obstinate, and will not imbrace the Truth? |
A48900 | or all this, but not loss of Life? |
A48900 | or loss of Liberty and Estate, but not corporal Pains and Torments? |
A48900 | shall I fall down to that which comes of a Plant? |
A48900 | that of the Church of England? |
A48900 | that the Magistrate is like to be more concerned for other Mens Souls than themselves,& c.) What then will be got by the Change? |
A48900 | that they come duly to the Church, and how their Heads to the Priests? |
A48900 | that when gentle Admonitions and earnest Intreaties will not prevail, what other means is there left but Force? |
A48900 | that you can not say, for Grace co- operating with Preaching will prevail; Are Penalties then necessary as sure to produce that End? |
A48900 | them that obey the Law, as well as them that do not? |
A48900 | unless you can shew us, that God hath promised the Co- operation and Assistance of his Grace to Force, and not to Preaching? |
A48900 | where Men are not furnish''d with this Means to bring them to the True Religion? |
A48900 | which of my Pagans or Mahumetans would have done otherwise? |
A48900 | who by Articles and Ceremonies of their own forming, separate from their Communion all that have not Perswasions which just jump with their Model? |
A48900 | who can doubt but that there those who talk so much of it, are in earnest? |
A48900 | who denies it him? |
A48900 | why one Doctrine of the Scripture put into the Creed and Articles, and another as sound left out? |
A48900 | you and your Magistrates? |
