A71070And all this while is your Church innocent, which at least sees and will not reform these things?
A71070And are not such Confessors excellent Guides to Heaven the mean while?
A71070And are we not here again arrived at Church- infallibility, if not from extraordinary divine assistance, only sincere endeavour being supposed?
A71070And can there be a Doctrine invented by men that doth more effectually destroy the necessity of a good life than this doth?
A71070And canst thou for thy heart, good Reader, expect a more pregnant proof?
A71070And did none of these men understand the principle that is undenyable by any man of common sense?
A71070And do any of these excuse them by saying any doctrine of theirs was contrary to these particulars?
A71070And doth this make the Church of England infallible?
A71070And if it doth not in the case of Provincial Councils; why should he think it doth in the case of General?
A71070And is it not possible for them to have an esteem for those who are not of their own Party?
A71070And is it now imaginable after all this, that Dr. Field should make any particular Church infallible?
A71070And is not this now an Universal Tradition fit to be matched with that of the Scriptures?
A71070And they who have been so bold( shall I say?
A71070And wh ● then?
A71070And what assurance can you give us that you do not still complain without cause?
A71070And what can the most skilful men in the Scripture, do with such men, who deny or affirm what they please?
A71070And what can they give us in exchange for these?
A71070And what fruits think you could it bear, but most gross Idolatry, greater than which was never known among the Gentils?
A71070And what if he were afterwards present at the Council of Constantinople?
A71070And what injury have I done them now, in charging such things upon them which obstruct devotion and overthrow the necessity of a good life?
A71070And what saith I. W. to all this?
A71070And yet after all this, can not the most necessary parts of it, he understood by those who sincerely endeavour to understand them?
A71070Are any cautions given to Confessors to beware of these Doctrines?
A71070Are any of the Books censured which assert this Doctrine?
A71070Are any of the Defenders of it discountenanced?
A71070Are no curious controversies handled in them?
A71070Are the Dominicans Puritans and no Papists?
A71070Are the Iesuits all out of the Church of Rome, because they deny the efficacy of Grace which the Domini ● ans account a matter of faith?
A71070Are these such inconsiderable parts of the Body, that no regard is to be had to them?
A71070Articles?
A71070Articles?
A71070Be it so: but I hope it doth evince that the Subscribers did not think the main Doctrine of any one Homily to be false?
A71070But I pray, Sir, are Authority and Infallibility all one in your account?
A71070But because we can not think highly enough of God, must we therefore devise ways to expose him to contempt and scorn?
A71070But by what means doth he then think, that men may come to any certainty about the true meaning of Scripture?
A71070But did not the Arians plead Scripture as well as they?
A71070But doth he not say, the Jesuits have solemnly renounced the Doctrine?
A71070But doth he undertake to make this good, that the greater number of Christians, then in the world, did oppose the Church of England?
A71070But here lyes the main difficulty, on what account the sentence of the Church was to be followed?
A71070But how doth this, destroy all Authority in a Church?
A71070But how then can they free themselves from this imputation?
A71070But if there be such difficulties, is there nothing plain and easy?
A71070But if we take away this Infallible direction from the Guides of the Church, what Authority is there left them?
A71070But is it not a pleasant thing to see, all of a sudden, what zeal these men discover for the preservation of our Churches Authority?
A71070But is there any thing peculiar to my Principles herein?
A71070But suppose they were the Puritans that said it?
A71070But supposing those Churches be rejected, why must the Greek, which embraces all the Councils which determined those subtle controversies?
A71070But was not Whitgi ● ● for the Lambeth Articles?
A71070But what course was taken in this important Controversie to find out the certain sense of Scripture?
A71070But what if Ignatius himself being grown old, did suspect such frequent extasies and visions for illusions?
A71070But what is all this to our purpose?
A71070But what rocks and Precipices will a bad cause drive men upon?
A71070But what then?
A71070But what then?
A71070But where lyes the contradiction?
A71070But whereabouts I pray doth this second Testimony stand?
A71070But wherein I pray doth this blasphemy lye?
A71070But why no answer to this charge?
A71070But why so?
A71070But will not the same sincerity in the Guides of the Church, extend to their knowing and declaring all matters of Faith?
A71070But you who are so good at resolving faith, what is this verily believe of yours founded upon?
A71070By this rule the Prophets and Apostles, nay our Lord himself, were unavoidably Fanaticks; for what competent authority had they to countenance them?
A71070Can any fairer terms than these be desired?
A71070Can not a dull Book come out with my name in the Title, but I must be obliged to answer it?
A71070Can this be understood any other way than of their own sense of matters of faith?
A71070Canon of the Council of Nice the Samosatenian Baptism is pronounced null?
A71070Did I not cite the words of God himself, who therefore did forbid the making any likeness of him, because nothing could be like him?
A71070Did he not declare all that was necessary for that end, in his many admirable discourses?
A71070Did not King James understand what he said, and what they did?
A71070Do they appeal to any infallible Guides?
A71070Do you think any man would venture his person or his purse, on no better security?
A71070Doth T. G. think so in all other Sacraments?
A71070Doth he not mention their Doctrine, and their distinctions?
A71070Doth he till them that God had appointed Infallible Guides in his Church, to whom appeal was to be made in all such cases?
A71070Doth that Man destroy the authority of Parents, that refuses to obey them, when they Command him to commit Treason?
A71070Doth the strength of all lye upon my bare affirming or denying?
A71070Doth this make all his authorities false and his reasons unconcluding?
A71070For I dare say, the King never thought the Pope infallible; must be needs therefore think him a Puritan?
A71070For doth not the Council of Trent make Orders a Sacrament?
A71070For either he may go to heaven without him, or not?
A71070For in earnest Sir, did not our Saviour speak intelligibly in matte ● s of so great importance to the Salvation of Mankind?
A71070For otherwise it would be just, as if one should say to a man, that asked him, whether he might safely travel through such a Country?
A71070For what can more expose men to all the follies and delusions imaginable, than this will do?
A71070For who dare rely upon him who acts against his conscience and believes one way and does another?
A71070Had I not proved by clear and late Instances, that the party which owns these principles is to this day the most countenanced and encouraged at Rome?
A71070Had I not proved by plain testimonies, that the most Fanatick principles of Rebellion were owned by the Jesuitical party among them?
A71070Have I made the practice of true devotion ridiculous, and the real expressions of piety the subject of scorn and derision?
A71070Have not all who have written against the Church of Rome opposed the pretence of Infallibility?
A71070Have you not formerly complained thus, when Books too many have been Printed and published in England?
A71070Have you the authority of your Church for it?
A71070Here a Man must examine the notes of the Church, and enquire whether they be true notes, whether they agree only to the Roman Church?
A71070Here comes the mystery of the procession of the Holy Ghost to be examined, whether from the Father alone or from the Father and the Son?
A71070How came all the Copies to be corrupted at once, as he farther urges, that there are none left sound to correct others by?
A71070How comes it then to pass, that all Church- Authority is immediately gone, if we do but suppose a possibility of errour in those which have it?
A71070How doth he know that the Eastern, Armenian, Abyssin and Greek Churches did agree with the Church of Rome against us?
A71070How is it I beseech N. O. that my principles undermine all Church Authority?
A71070How long I pray have these days of persecution been?
A71070I desire to know, whether this makes all their present arguments for the Roman Church of no force?
A71070I now come to examine what certainty there is for this Infallibility?
A71070I now desire to know, what a person in that time should do who was bound to yield an internal assent to the Guides of the Church?
A71070I only desire to know, why a like right and saving faith may not be had concerning the Scriptures, without their Churches infallibility?
A71070I wonder who there could be in that Age; that believed the Pope to be an infallible Guide?
A71070I. S. who hath written a whole Book purposely against this Principle, as impious and atheistical?
A71070If it be not so in other Sacraments how comes it to be thus in Orders?
A71070If it be not then necessary to mens Salvation to have an infallible interpretation of doubtful places; for what other end can it become necessary?
A71070If some may destroy themselves by their own weakness and folly, may not others be saved by their diligence and care?
A71070If the Church of Rome will allow nothing to be amiss, how can she Reform any thing?
A71070If the possibility of being deceived destroys no other Authority in the world, why should it do that of the Church?
A71070If the sense of Scripture were in this time to be taken from the Guides of the Church, what security could any man have against Arianism?
A71070If they did, how that comes to be obscure now, which was plain then?
A71070If your Church may hav ● liberty not to determin those nice points why may not ours?
A71070Is God as much disparaged by the necessary weakness of our understandings, as by voluntarily false and corporeal Images of him?
A71070Is all this nothing but to charge them with such practices which they detest?
A71070Is infallible Faith come to be sufficiently certain only?
A71070Is not this a hopeful beginning for a good Legend?
A71070Is not this now an Admirable way of proving, that they do not charge them with Idolatry, because the Papists deny they commit it?
A71070Is there 〈 ◊ 〉 danger of falling into the ditch whe ● the Blind lead the Blind, unless General Council expresly allow of it?
A71070Is this a sufficient reason for any man to cast off his subjection to his Prince, because it''s possible he may require something unlawful?
A71070It was a notable saying, and it is great pity, the Historian did not preserve the memory of the Author of it; but by whom was it said?
A71070Iust so saith T. G. how can they be charged with Idolatry, since they profess to do no such thing?
A71070Must I do it only by an infallible Guide?
A71070Must he adhere to the Nicene Council?
A71070Must he believe the Council?
A71070Nay doth not God design to prevent the errour of our Imaginations by such prohibitions as those are?
A71070Now, what an easie matter is it to disposses me of this Spirit of contradiction, which he imagines me possessed with?
A71070Or can we have now no certainty of the meaning of the Levitical Law, because there is no High- priest or Sanhedrin to explain it?
A71070Or 〈 ◊ 〉 this Doctrine only a Decoy to draw great sinners into your nets?
A71070So then, he must he Puritanically inclined; but whence does that follow?
A71070The Primitive and Apostolical?
A71070The first is in the charge of Idolatry; but how do I contradict my self about this?
A71070The last thing to be considered is, whether the same arguments which overthrow infallibility, do likewise destroy all Church- Authority?
A71070The truly Catholick Church of all Ages?
A71070Therefore why should we think much if it be so in Religion too?
A71070To whom will ye liken God?
A71070Was ever man put to such miserable shifts?
A71070Was not this think we, a true Vicar of Christ?
A71070Were the Israelites then in the Beatifical vision?
A71070Were 〈 ◊ 〉 these Puritans too?
A71070What Church I pray?
A71070What certainty there is of this infallibility?
A71070What competent Authority had any of the Prophets who were sent to the ten Tribes?
A71070What competent authority had the Prophet Elijah to countenance him, when all the Authority that then was, not only opposed him but sought his life?
A71070What course now doth Irenaeus take to clear the sense of Scripture in these controverted places?
A71070What he thinks of the Religion of the Patriarchs, who received their Religion by Tradition, without any such Infallibility?
A71070What if, the nature of Religion will not bear such a determination of Controversies as civil matters will?
A71070What is become 〈 ◊ 〉 all their vast Tomes of Scholastical an ● Casuistical Divinity?
A71070What is this, but to put them under a necessity of being deluded when their Guides please?
A71070What necessity there is for the Salvation of persons, to have an infallible interpretation of controverted places of Scripture?
A71070What pity it is for sinners, you have not the keeping of Heaven- gates?
A71070What the grounds are, on which any thing doth become necessary to salvation?
A71070What then makes these Churches to be left out in our Enquiries after the Guides of the Catholick Church?
A71070What things are necessary to be owned in order to salvation by Christian Societies, or as the bonds and conditions of Ecclesiastical communion?
A71070What things are necessary to the salvation of men as such, or considered in their single or private capacities?
A71070What wonder then saith he, if Bellarmin and 3. or 4. more Jesuits were carried away with such a Torrent of Doctors who went before them?
A71070What would not they do for the strengthening and upholding of it?
A71070What?
A71070What?
A71070What?
A71070What?
A71070Whence could this arise but from looking on it as the Doctrine of their Church?
A71070Whether God doth ever Inspire persons with immediate revelations without giving sufficient evidence of such Inspiration?
A71070Whether our Saviours own Sermons vere capable of being understood by those who heard them, without some infallible Interpreter?
A71070Whether the Church may justly be charged with those Doctrines and practices?
A71070Whether the Evangelists did not faithfully deliver our Saviours Doctrine?
A71070Whether the denying such an Infallible Interpreter makes men uncapable of attaining any certain sense of doubtful places?
A71070Whether there be an equal reason to look for revelations now, as in the time of the Prophets, and our Saviour, and his Apostles?
A71070Whether there be no difference between kneeling at the Sacrament upon Protestants Principles and the Papists adoration of the H ● st?
A71070Whether there can be any greater Fanaticism, than a false pretence to immediate divine Revelation?
A71070Whether there can be no certainty of Faith without Infallibility in the Guides of the Church, and submitting our internal assent and belief to them?
A71070Whether there can be no certainty of Faith without this infallibility?
A71070Whether we are bound to believe all such who say, They have divine revelations?
A71070Who meddles with what they profess they do, or do not?
A71070Why did not God as well forbid the one as he did the other?
A71070Why may we not then allow any Authority belonging to the Governours of the Church, and yet think it possible for them to be deceived?
A71070Why not as well to those of the Eastern, Greek, or Protestant Churches?
A71070Will he, saith he, or they damn the execrable Covenant?
A71070Would not a man now be in a pretty condition that were bound to believe one in all he said that so often contradicted himself?
A71070a man of an Apostolical Spirit?
A71070and am I become an Idolater too, who was never apt to think my self enclined so much as to superstition?
A71070and how can they allow any thing to be amiss, who believe they can never be deceived?
A71070and one of those which doth imprint an indelible character?
A71070and that the Homilies contained a wholesome and Godly Doctrine, which in their consciences they believed to be false and pernicious?
A71070and thereby commands us to think worthily of him, and when we pray to him, to consider him only as an Infinite Being in his Nature and Attributes?
A71070and to which of the Guides of the Church a man owed his internal assent, and external obedience?
A71070and what should be the reason he should do it more now, than in the age wherein revelations were more necessary?
A71070are you in earnest sir?
A71070as in case of Baptism; that supposing the Ministers of it have been guilty of Heresie or Idolatry, the Sacrament loses its effect?
A71070but what can not the controverting Wit of man do, upon second and serious thoughts?
A71070but whether Gods authority or theirs must be obeyed?
A71070can there be none, but what is derived from Rome?
A71070did they submit their judgement to the Church?
A71070do they not expresly set themselves to disprove their distinctions upon which their doctrine is founded?
A71070do you think the Prophets had been Fanaticks, in case of no competent authority to countenance them?
A71070doth it hence follow that he spake no where consistently, because once or twice, or perhaps as often as his neighbours, he contradicted himself?
A71070doth that shew, that his mind was in the least changed?
A71070doth the force of all the arguments used by me in this last Discourse fall to the ground, because I was formerly of another opinion?
A71070doth this imply infallibility?
A71070have I uttered any thing that tends to the reproach of God or true Religion?
A71070have you any evidence of reason?
A71070how then come my principles to be of so mischievous a nature above others?
A71070how then could the Scripture end this Controversie, which did arise about the sense of Scripture?
A71070if bad men may pervert them, may no ● good men make a good use of them?
A71070if not, how comes it to be untrue now, because I deny it?
A71070if not, why were they not forbidden as well to think of God as to make any Images of him?
A71070must he believe the Pope?
A71070must he follow the present Guides even the Pope himself?
A71070or do you verily believe it, as you verily believe many other things, for no reason in the world?
A71070or if he should, dare any person rely on his private judgement when it is contrary to the most received Doctrine or practice?
A71070or rather, have you it by some vision or revelation made by some of those Saints, whose Fanaticism is exposed?
A71070or to disobey his Parents, because they do not sit in an infallible chair?
A71070or to slight his Master, because he is not Pope?
A71070or what likeness will ye compare to him?
A71070or whether God communicates revelations to no other end, but to please and gratifie some Enthusiastical tempers?
A71070or whether persons may not be deceived in thinking they have revelations, when they are only delusions of their own Fancies or the Devil?
A71070that forsooth there could be no lawful Councils called in his time; and why so I pray?
A71070that must be supposed by the Puritans; and could none but they be the Authors of so witty a saying?
A71070was it ever true because I said it?
A71070was there not a good Authority to call them?
A71070were Pope Agatho''s Legats there present, and could not inform the Council of their presumption in judging the Infallible See?
A71070were their conceptions of God suitable to his incomprehensible nature?
A71070were these countenanced by a competent authority among them?
A71070what a back- blow is this to those of his own Church?
A71070what actions can be so wild and extravagant but men may do, under such a pretence of immediate Revelation from God?
A71070what are its weapons?
A71070what bounds of order and Government can be preserved?
A71070what had Ieremiah, Ezekiel, and the rest of them?
A71070what then becomes of the Popes infallibility?
A71070what will not these men dare to say?
A71070what would the consequence of this be to the thing it self?
A71070whether Christ hath appointed such Judges in all Ages, who are to determine all emergent Controversies about the difficult places of his Law?
A71070whether praying by a prescribed form of words be as contrary to Scripture, as praying in an unknown tongue?
A71070why should we and they of the Church of Rome quarrel thus long?
A71070would this make those faults ever the less, because he judged so charitably of the person notwithstanding his committing them?
A71070〈 ◊ 〉 there no danger by Empericks a ● ● Mountebanks, unless the whole Co ● ledge of Physicians approve them?
A6154016, 29?
A6154021?
A6154026. and whether they could think the Gods of Aegypt had wrought all the Miracles for them in their deliverance and after it?
A6154028?
A615403. sayes expresly, that he brought an offering to the Lord?
A6154031.?
A615408. and to convince them the more of their evil doings: offer it now, sayes he, to thy Governour, will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person?
A61540All that I can believe then present is the body of Christ; and what then?
A61540And are these things so hard to be understood, that the people ought not to be made acquainted with them in their own language?
A61540And do not Protestants make contrition alone, which is less, sufficient for salvation?
A61540And doth this doctrine now differ from that of the Fanatick Sectaries which have swarmed in England?
A61540And if it were possible to get it out of such a mans hands, whether it were not the highest prudence, and care of the publick safety to do it?
A61540And if praying in an unknown tongue doth so, I wonder he tells us, that all Catholicks are taught to say them in their Mother- tongue: Why so I pray?
A61540And if this were all intended, why is it not so expressed if they meant honestly?
A61540And is his body present any other way than as it is agreeable to the end of the institution?
A61540And is it not a hard case now, we should be so often told of Fanaticism among us, by the members of the Roman Church?
A61540And is it possible to imagine a doctrine that more effectually overthrows the necessity of a good life, than this doth?
A61540And is not now the Popes authority an excellent remedy for all divisions in the Church?
A61540And is there no danger among Christians that they should entertain too low and unworthy thoughts of God?
A61540And was not the Church like to enjoy much happiness and peace under a Government founded in Rebellion and maintained by blood?
A61540And what can this have respect to but the Elements?
A61540And what officer is there so fit to take all Escheats and Forfeitures of Power as Christs own Vicar upon Earth?
A61540And who dares question the infallibility of the Popes eye- sight?
A61540And will not the same arguments more hold for publick prayer, wherein all the Congregation are to joyn together?
A61540Are not we infinitely obliged to a man that uses so much subtlety to defend our Church from errrour in faith?
A61540Are their prayers like counterfeit Iewels, that the less they understand them, the better they like them?
A61540But I only renew my demand, why must no controversies among Catholicks be ended in the Council?
A61540But after all this, can we imagine, that he should practise himself contrary to his own doctrine?
A61540But all this while, what becomes of Purgatory?
A61540But can he produce as good or better grounds for his own opinion?
A61540But did the Church yet afterwards grow wiser in the sense of the Roman Church?
A61540But doth Baronius in the least go about to explain or mitigate this?
A61540But doth he really think, that they did not break their first faith and incurre damnation by Fornication as well as by Marrying?
A61540But had not the Church yet experience enough of the mischief of permitting the Scriptures to the people?
A61540But how comes our case to be so much worse under Christianity?
A61540But how doth Mr. Cressy answer it?
A61540But however their opinion tends more to devotion?
A61540But if St. Austins Judgement were to be followed in this?
A61540But if all were agreed, what need any means of agreement by one universal Head?
A61540But if it suppose them only disputable before, then why may not the Church interpose her Iudgement, and put them out of dispute?
A61540But it would seem somewhat hard to a voluptuous man however to be put to severe pennances; is there no remedy in this case?
A61540But now who could imagine a thing so often revealed, so publickly allowed, so many times attested from Heaven, should not be generally received?
A61540But supposing all languages equally known to him we make our addresses to, why should not the people use that, which they understand themselves?
A61540But supposing this way were intelligible and practicable which it is not; yet what would the effect of it be but the highest Enthusiasm?
A61540But these were the fittest terms to let the people know they should have as much for their money as was to be had, and what could they desire more?
A61540But this is as true as the other; for are they agreed in matters of faith who charge one another with heresie?
A61540But we would know, whether that God whom we serve, hath given us any rules for his worship or no?
A61540But what becomes of the Court of Rome all this while?
A61540But what becomes then of the Unity of the Roman Church, in the great number of Schisms, and some of long continuance among them?
A61540But what doth he mean by these motives and grounds to believe?
A61540But what if Catholicks should be mistaken in their belief?
A61540But what is that to the business?
A61540But what is to be said to the Council of Trent, which pronounces an Anathema to those who say, that Prayers are to be said only in a known Tongue?
A61540But what is to be said, for Women who do not think themselves bound to go to School to learn Latin?
A61540But what then?
A61540But whence I pray must the people take the sense of such prayers as these are, if not from the signification of the words?
A61540But where is there the least intimation given that we are to Worship Christ in the Elements, supposing him present there?
A61540But why are we not all of a mind?
A61540Can any be so senseless to think, that by this civil adoration, he meant, we honoured every man we met as our Soveraign Prince?
A61540Can any one think that is not more waxing wanton against Christ, than meer marrying is?
A61540Can the Church be too liberal in those things which tend to so good an end?
A61540Can we imagine, saith he, that S. Peter would allow the worship of Images, who forbad Cornelius to worship him?
A61540Did ever H. N. Iacob Behmen, or the highest Enthusiasts talk at a more extravagant rate than this Iuliana doth?
A61540Did not he absolve the people from their allegiance?
A61540Did not they fall into Sects and divers opinions by misunderstanding the Law?
A61540Did the Heathen use solemn Ceremonies of making any capable of divine worship?
A61540Did they set up their Images in publick places of worship and there kneel before them and invocate those represented by them?
A61540Did we never discard any of the Roman opinions or practices upon the account of Revelations made to Women or to any private persons?
A61540Do they believe, we never look into their Breviaries, Rosaries, Houres, and other Books of Devotion, wherein to this day such Prayers are to be found?
A61540Do they not expresly deny the giving Gods Worship to any Creature?
A61540Do they say the Scripture can be no means of Vnity, because of the various senses which have been put upon it?
A61540Do we collect Fanatical Revelations, and set them out with comments upon them, as Gonsalvus Durantus hath done those of St. Bridgitt?
A61540Do we resolve the grounds of any doctrine of ours into any Visions and Extasies?
A61540Doth God impose upon our senses at that time?
A61540Doth he imagine that Henry 8. is owned by us to be Head of our Church as the Pope is with them, so as to think him infallible?
A61540Doth he suspect the Head of his Church may cheat and abuse him?
A61540Doth he think they did not understand their own Mother Tongues?
A61540Doth that man take Christs counsel of chastity, that rather chooses to commit Fornication than marry?
A61540Every one must use his own judgement and reason in the choice of the Church he is to rely upon; is he certain in this or not?
A61540For I pray, were they the common people who first broached Heresies in the Christian Church?
A61540For if I do it to God absolutely and for himself, and to the Image only improperly and relatively, wherein I am to blame?
A61540For if there were any thing but fraud and imposture in them, why may not a prudent Christian trust a Church which he believes infallible?
A61540For if this were not it, what makes them to be more jealous of the use of the Scriptures, than ever the Christians were in former Ages?
A61540For was not his excommunicating Henry the cause of the first defection from him?
A61540For were the people less ignorant and heady, less presumptuous and opinionative then, than they are now?
A61540For what was that, which was instituted by our Lord as a Sacrament?
A61540For who knows not to what end the revelation of S. Gregoryes delivering the soul of Trajan by his prayers, is so frequently urged?
A61540God did use the Apostles as instruments on earth to promote the salvation of mankind, but may we therefore pray to them now in Heaven to save us?
A61540Hath it not been told you from the beginning?
A61540Have not their Breviaries been often reviewed, if this had not been their meaning, why have they not been expunged all this while?
A61540Have we any mother Iuliana''s among us?
A61540Have ye not heard?
A61540Have ye not understood from the foundation of the earth?
A61540How came this Treasure of the Church into the Popes Keeping?
A61540How come the Saints to make such large satisfactions to the justice of God, if the satisfaction of Christ were of so infinite a nature?
A61540How could then the Pope have no hand in it?
A61540How easie is it for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God?
A61540How often have visions and apparitions of souls been made use of to prove the doctrine of Purgatory?
A61540How punishment doth become due, when the fault is remitted?
A61540How so?
A61540I could not but enquire of them, what they meant by praying?
A61540I desire therefore seriously to know of him, whether any Worship doth at all belong to the image or no?
A61540I desire to know whether these men who worshipped Images upon those grounds did amiss or no in it?
A61540I mean, why might not the Image of King Henry the second have the same reverence shewn to it, that the Shrine of Thomas Becket had?
A61540I pray Madam, ask him, whether he really thinks, they would have done none of those things, if they had said their prayers in English?
A61540I pray what need a person be afraid of, that lives a very bad life, according to these principles?
A61540I remember what Church I am of, and how much I am bid to beware of thee: but how then shall I be satisfied?
A61540I would fain understand what the sacrificing to one for the honour of another means?
A61540I would fain understand why the one should not be as free from Idolatry as the other?
A61540If any one ask them, Whether it be lawful to kill their Soveraign?
A61540If it be enough for the people to be present, and to pray their own private prayers there in publick, to what End is there any publick Liturgy at all?
A61540If it be from Canonical Penance whether a man is wholly freed from the obligation to that or no?
A61540If it be made by the Pope, in what way doth he make it?
A61540If not, wherefore doth St. Paul pitch upon that, to condemn them for, which they were not at all to blame in?
A61540If satisfaction be made to God for the temporal punishment of penitents by Indulgences; I desire to know when and by whom the payment is made to God?
A61540If they be and do in good earnest desire to know how to please God, and to serve him; what directions will they give him?
A61540If they did, how can this prove marriage worse than Fornication?
A61540If this had been the meaning of the Law, why was it not more plainly expressed?
A61540If this were all, why in all this time that these prayers have been complained of, hath not their sense been better expressed?
A61540In this diversity of opinions what security can any man have what punishment he is to be freed from?
A61540In this great confusion what ground of certainty have I to stand upon, whereby to secure my mind from commission of a great sin?
A61540Is all this only praying to her to pray for us?
A61540Is he past all hope of remedy there?
A61540Is it all one, for a man to say, that his Staff helped him in his going, and to fall down upon his knees to pray to his Staff to help him?
A61540Is it of so destructive a Nature, and framed for no other use than a sword is?
A61540Is it, that so many mens lives have been destroyed under a pretence of Religion?
A61540Is not here now a most admirable Vnity in the Roman Church?
A61540Is not his Sermon on the Mount, wherein he delivers the rules of a Christian Life, as plain as any Chapter in Leviticus?
A61540Is not this Law said to convert the soul, and to make wise the simple?
A61540Is not unity desirable among them?
A61540Is the Law of Christ so much more difficult and obscure than the Law of Moses?
A61540It is but a meer shew to pretend only to keep the people in order,( for when are they otherwise but when cunning men have the managing of them?)
A61540It is not, whether the person of Christ, visibly appearing to us in any place, ought to have divine honour given to him?
A61540Iudge therefore which of these states is most convenient for Priests, whose proper office it is to attend wholly to the things of God?
A61540Lastly, did they offer up Sacrifices in those Temples to the Honour of their lesser Deities and Heroes?
A61540May I be sure if the Pope who is Head of the Church say it?
A61540May not the Pope, if he thinks of it, gather another mighty Treasure of the absolute Power of God which is never used, as for making new worlds,& c?
A61540May not we plead for the Vnity, that they have on the same grounds?
A61540May we not truly say, that the Sun enlightens the world, but may we therefore pray to the Sun to enlighten us?
A61540Might it not as well alter any other Institution on the same grounds?
A61540Must I relye on the bare words of Christ, This is my body?
A61540Must he suffer for his Original sin?
A61540Must he suffer for his Venial sins?
A61540Nay were there not very many who were false Apostles and great and dangerous Hereticks, presumptuous and arrogant, if ever any were?
A61540Need he be afraid of the dreadful sentence of the day of judgement, Go ye cursed into everlasting flames?
A61540No, not unless a General Council concur: but may I be sure, if a General Council determines it?
A61540No, not unless he defines it: but may I be sure then?
A61540Of the reason of that Law, from Gods infinite and invisible nature: How far that hath been acknowledged by Heathens?
A61540Of the reason of that Law, from Gods infinite and invisible nature: How far that hath been acknowledged by Heathens?
A61540On what account should it be unlawful to Sacrifice to Saints or Angels if it be lawful to invocate them?
A61540Or St. John whom the Angel checked for offering to worship him, and bid him give that honour to God?
A61540Or do they think that ordinary people, that understand not Latin or Greek, ought not to be concerned what becomes of their souls?
A61540Or is there any danger they should know them too well?
A61540Or whether the God they worshipped, understood only that one tongue, and so they were fain to speak to him, in his own language?
A61540Say you so, I pray what benefit then have I, saith he, by this which you call an Indulgence?
A61540Say you so, said the Dominican?
A61540Shall I be discharged, or shall I not upon it?
A61540So unhappy have the Popes been, when they have gone about to use their Authority for composing differences, among those who are in their own Church?
A61540Suppose temporal punishment remain to be satisfied for; whether all or only some one kind?
A61540Temples and erect Altars to them, and keep Festivals and burn Incense before them?
A61540The Council of Trent could not but confess horrible abuses in the sale of Indulgences, yet what amendment hath there been since that time?
A61540The authority of the Roman Church?
A61540The charge is great, but what are the proofs?
A61540The main question is, Whether God hath forbidden the worshipping of himself by an Image, under the notion of Idolatry?
A61540The main question is, Whether God hath forbidden the worshipping of himself by an Image, under the notion of Idolatry?
A61540The workman melteth a graven Image, and the Goldsmith spreadeth it over with Gold,& c. Have ye not known?
A61540To this the good Nicene Fathers, not knowing what to answer, plainly deny the conclusion, and cry, They Nestorians?
A61540To what end, say the people then, were they given, if they may not be seen?
A61540To what purpose is that authority, that dare not be exercised when there is most need of it?
A61540To whom will ye liken God?
A61540WE come to consider whether the reading the Scriptures be the cause of all the Sects and Fanaticisms which have been in England?
A61540Was ever the Law of Moses more perverted by false interpretations than in our Saviours time by the Scribes and Pharisees?
A61540Was it inconsistent with Gods nature then, and is it less so now, when we understand his nature much better?
A61540Was it not the delight, exercise, and continual Meditation of those who were truly devout among them?
A61540Was not the people of Israel as refractory and disobedient as any have been since?
A61540Was not there the same danger of mistaking their sense at that time?
A61540Was not this Law given them as a rule to direct themselves by?
A61540Was the Controversie about the Popes temporal power confined to the Schools?
A61540Was there not much more danger of misunderstanding the Doctrine of the Gospel at first than ever after?
A61540Was this now all the quarrel the Christians had with the Heathens that they worshipped Iupiter and Venus and Vulcan?
A61540Were Arius, Nestorius, Macedonius, Eutyches, or the great abettors of their Doctrines, any of the Vulgar?
A61540Were not all sent to this to learn to govern their actions?
A61540Were not here Controversies fit to be determined?
A61540Were not his Legats present at all the proceedings and approved them?
A61540Were not these goodly heads of the Church the mean time?
A61540Were they all members united under one Head, when there were sometimes two, sometimes three several Heads?
A61540Were they not as apt to quarrel with divine Laws and the authority God had set up among them?
A61540What a case am I in then, if those words do not prove it?
A61540What admirable chastity is that?
A61540What can such an Image do to the heightening of devotion, or raising affections?
A61540What could be more said to Almighty God or his Son Iesus Christ?
A61540What customers doth he hope to find at such sordid rates?
A61540What effects of Fanaticism have we seen in England so dreadful which may not be paralled with examples, or justified by the principles of that party?
A61540What horrible blasphemy is this, which is so solemnly approved in the Church of Rome for divine Revelations?
A61540What is more necessary to the life of man than eating and drinking; yet where lyes intemperance and the danger of surfetting, but in the use of these?
A61540What is somenting and encouraging Rebellion in the highest degree if this be not?
A61540What is to be done now?
A61540What keeps men more in their wits than sleeping, yet when are men so lyable to have their throats cut as in the use of that?
A61540What more pleasant to the eyes than to see the Sun, yet what is there so like to put them out as to stare too long upon him?
A61540What need any talk of the Churches Treasure for this?
A61540What need we make Negative Articles of faith, where the Affirmative do necessarily imply them?
A61540What then signifie the boasts of Vnity in the Roman Church, if they can not prevent the falling of their members into such dangerous Schisms?
A61540What then?
A61540What would St. Paul have said to such men that should have asked such things of him, who yet saith, that he was an instrument of saving some?
A61540What, did the Apostles never imagine all this while the ill use that might be made of them by men of perverse minds?
A61540What, saith he, did not the Prophets and Apostles receive truth from Heaven by Revelations?
A61540Where are the Visions and Revelations ever pleaded by us in any matter of Doctrine?
A61540Whether all the satisfaction of Christ taken together were not great enough to remit the eternal punishment of the whole world?
A61540Whether confirmation might be given without Bishops?
A61540Whether it was by divine right or no?
A61540Whether our opinion concerning the reading and interpreting Scripture, doth hinder it from being a most certain rule of faith and life?
A61540Whether praying in a known or unknown tongue, do more conduce to devotion?
A61540Whether that prudential dispensing the Scriptures as he calls it, be any hinderance to devotion or no?
A61540Whether that prudential dispensing the Scriptures used in the Church of Rome, doth hinder devotion or no?
A61540Whether that religious worship they gave to Images was not part of that adoration which was only due to God?
A61540Whether the Episcopal Order was more perfect than the Monastical?
A61540Whether the Regulars were under the jurisdiction of Bishops?
A61540Whether the Vnity of that Church be so admirable to tempt all persons, who prize the Churches Vnity, to return to it?
A61540Whether the disparity between the Heathen worship and theirs be so great as to excuse them from Idolatry?
A61540Whether the reading of the Scriptures be the cause of the numbers of Sects and Fanaticisms which have been in England?
A61540Whether there be a necessity of being a member of some distinct Church?
A61540Whether there be no danger of Fanaticism in the Roman Church?
A61540Whether they appeared not long before on Mount Sinai, and delivered the Law to them?
A61540Whether this whole matter be a thing left in the power of the Church to determine?
A61540Why doth not he then take some other care for his own Law to prevent this for the future, if that had been judged by him the proper way of cure?
A61540Why in so short a comprehension of Laws, is this Law so much inlarged above what it might have been, if all that he saith, were only meant by it?
A61540Why might not they worship the Statues of Kings and Princes, as well as others do those of Rebels and Traytors?
A61540Why should not all of them be at their private prayers together?
A61540Why should the Priest with his Iargon of hard words interrupt them?
A61540Why were none of the words elsewhere used, by way of contempt of the Heathen Idols here mentioned, as being less lyable to ambiguity?
A61540Would any man have argued like St. Augustin that should talk at this rate?
A61540Yet still we are to seek what is to be done, when two Revelations contradict each other?
A61540Yet suppose I were sure he was a Priest, what assurance have I, that he had an intention to consecrate that very Wafer which I am to adore?
A61540and did not they keep the Church in great Vnity under their agreeable conduct?
A61540and do they not as plainly affirm that men do it when they invocate their fellow servants to be intercessors with God for them?
A61540and do they think the Massacre at Paris and the Rebellion in Ireland can ever be forgotten by us?
A61540and have they no wayes to evade the Popes definitions?
A61540and how can his word be taken for the remitting of a debt, when they take as much care of payment as if he had said nothing?
A61540and if there be no punishment retained when God forgives, what hath the Pope ● to do to release?
A61540and if they did make satisfactions, were they not sufficiently rewarded for them?
A61540and that it is no less a guilt of Idolatry in this case, than it is in giving the Honour due to a Prince to any of his Servants?
A61540and was it ever more properly so than in dying?
A61540and was that done by not understanding it?
A61540and what a beastly institution must marriage be, if Fornication be a less crime than that?
A61540and when could there be greater need than in such a time when the Church was in a flame by these contentions?
A61540and wherein can we better express that to God, than in offering up our prayers to him?
A61540and who hath the keeping of it, and what use is made of so much more useful a treasure than that which serves only to remit the temporal punishment?
A61540and why doth the Council of Trent determine that due worship is to be given them?
A61540are there not factions of long continuance among them upon these differences?
A61540as whether the Worshipping false Gods, supposing them to be true, be not as venial a fault, as Worshipping that for the true God which is not so?
A61540but if then it could be applyed to a higher end, without any other help, why not where it is to have far less efficacy?
A61540could they be better decided any where else?
A61540did not that make for several Ages as great disturbances in the Church, as were ever known in it upon any quarrel of Religion?
A61540do they not differ from one another?
A61540do they not write, and Preach, and rail against each other as much as any Sectaries can do?
A61540do we terminate our Worship upon his humane nature?
A61540doth he take out so much ready cash of the Churches treasure and pay it down upon the nail, according to the proportion of every ones sins?
A61540doth it thence follow that this Commandment must be only against Idols?
A61540for if they could but express any sign of contrition, by the motion of an Eye or a Finger, all were well enough?
A61540have we any Festivals kept upon such occasions?
A61540how am I freed now, not only from the fears of Hell and Purgatory, but from crabbed and hateful penances?
A61540i. e. why I may not as well honour God by giving worship to the Sun, as to Ignatius Loyola, or St. Francis, or any other late Canonized Saint?
A61540if I shall, what do you tell me of that which I am discharged from?
A61540if he be not free, what is it he is freed from?
A61540if he be, what power hath the Priest to enjoyne penance after?
A61540if he doth, what becomes of infallibility?
A61540if he verily believes that the Pope can not erre and will not deceive, why must not his word be taken?
A61540if it be, why have they not obtained it, since they can so easily doe it?
A61540if it were, whether all the redundant parts of that, be cast into a treasure too?
A61540if none at all, to what end are they kneeled before, and kissed, which if the Images had any sense in them, would think was done to them?
A61540if not, how can a man be said to be freed from the temporal punishment of sin that is as lyable to it as any one else?
A61540if not, why doe they boast of it?
A61540if there be any due, whether it be the same then is given to the Prototype, or distinct from it?
A61540if there be, how one part comes to be applyed and the other cast into a treasure?
A61540if they were, how come those satisfactions to help others which they were so abundantly recompensed for themselves?
A61540is it not the death of Christ that is set forth in the Eucharist?
A61540is that the object of our adoration?
A61540may he not by the help of this deliver souls out of hell, as well as by the other out of Purgatory?
A61540may not one be relative and transient as well as the other?
A61540or doth he only tell God where such a treasure lyes and bid him go and satisfie himself, for as much as he discharges of his d ● bt?
A61540or lastly, I would appeal to themselves whether the precept against Worshipping the host of Heaven, or images were more plain in the Scripture?
A61540or must we not believe them in other things, because in the particular case of the Eucharist we must believe God, rather than our sences?
A61540or rather doth it not yield a greater possibility of salvation to one than to the other?
A61540or was it, that they were all so much of a mind that they had nothing to doe, but to condemn their enemies?
A61540or was the force of it spent then, that it needs a fresh supply afterwards?
A61540or what can that universal Head signifie to making Vnity, when his title to his Headship becomes a cause of greater divisions?
A61540or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
A61540since the Question was, which of them was the Head of the Church with whom the members were to be united?
A61540that prayers in an unknown tongue are contrary to the Edification of the Church?
A61540that the Scripture was written in a known tongue?
A61540the exercise of the graces and duties I mentioned?
A61540then he plainly deceives us; is it by telling us we ought to believe more than we see?
A61540was it not the external and visible signes or elements?
A61540what is it an Indulgence of?
A61540what made them so extremely cautious in the Council of Trent of meddling with any thing that was in Controversie among themselves?
A61540what parts can be made of an infinite and entire satisfaction?
A61540where then lyes their Vnity they boast off?
A61540whether Christ did any more than God required?
A61540whether any thing which God required can be said to be redundant?
A61540whether diseases, pains, and death be not part of the temporal punishment of sin, and whether men may be freed from these by Indulgences?
A61540whether from the effects of the justice of God in extraordinary judgements?
A61540whether the Pope might not erre in matter of fact?
A61540whether the Propositions condemned were in Iansenius or no?
A61540which in other terms is whether the Church did cheat or not in giving them?
A61540who gave him alone the Keys of it?
A61540why is it not said only of the temporal punishment due to sin, the fault being supposed to be remitted?
A61540would it then follow, that they were Idolaters?
A61627( supposing the stories true, which I hardly believe) hath he ever said any such thing?
A616277. declared all Ordinations to be Null which were made by Excommunicated Bishops?
A61627According to Minucius his account of the Image- God; Quando igitur hic nascitur?
A61627Against what Church?
A61627Among the Grecian Colonies, what wonder is it, if the Grecian Jupiter was worshipped?
A61627And after all, is not this Credible?
A61627And all the other Instances waved to come to this of Bowing to the Altar?
A61627And are not Lugo''s words plain and full to this purpose?
A61627And are you willing to part with your whole right and interest in him?
A61627And at the same time he condemns the worship both of Saints and Angels; in the places produced by Dr. St. What answer hath T. G. made to this?
A61627And did Dr. St. ever deny that the Church of Rome opposed some things clearly revealed in Scripture?
A61627And did ever any Divine of the Church of England say otherwise?
A61627And do not they make an Idol of the Common Prayer?
A61627And do you think all this is not applying the notion of Idolatry home to the Roman Church?
A61627And doth T. G. in earnest think this doth not prove they had lawful Authority?
A61627And doth not Dr. St. say the very same thing?
A61627And doth not Latria take in any peculiar act of Divine Worship?
A61627And doth not all this amount to true and real worship?
A61627And doth not he say expresly, that he doth not speak of these, but of the former?
A61627And doth not that imply an esteem of proper divine excellency, and is not that proper to God alone and uncreated?
A61627And doth not this fully prove what Dr. St. brought this Testimony for?
A61627And for what end?
A61627And have not you bravely proved that Dr. St. hath herein gone against the sense of the genuine Sons of the Church of England?
A61627And how after all, hath T. G. proved it?
A61627And if so, is it not to give the worship due to God to something else, to apply those acts which are peculiar to himself, to any thing besides him?
A61627And if they have none themselves, can they give it to others?
A61627And is all this, do you think, answered by T. G.''s repeating what he had said before; or blown down by a puff or two of Wit?
A61627And is it not the same case here?
A61627And is not God a true object of worship?
A61627And is not prayer a part of Gods immediate Worship?
A61627And is not the giving divine worship to a creature Idolatry?
A61627And is not the very same distinction used by Bishop Andrews, Bishop Sanderson, and the most zealous defenders of the Rites of our Church?
A61627And is not the very same practised in your Church?
A61627And is not this making the Image Superiour?
A61627And is there no difference between the Acts of these two men as to Images themselves?
A61627And is this dwindling expression fit for a Christian, to say only, falluntur in nomine, they are deceived in the name?
A61627And is this indeed the present you make to Almighty God in honour of his Saints?
A61627And is this making Negative Articles of Faith; about which T. G. and E. W. and others, have made such senseless clamours?
A61627And is this nothing to the answering T. G.''s arguments?
A61627And judge you now, whether Dr. St. took leave of his Text, whether he did not speak to Idolatry in the Nature of the thing?
A61627And now I pray tell me, what reason hath there been for all this noise about Moral Certainty?
A61627And now I pray was it possible for T. G. to overlook all these things?
A61627And suppose a man doth that Act which your Church allows not, is he guilty of Idolatry or bare disobedience in doing it to an Image?
A61627And this being the true state of it, I pray, where lies the force of the argument?
A61627And was he a favourer of Dissenters, and an underminer of the Church of England?
A61627And was it not neatly done of the Doctor to wrap up all this in those short words, The Devil perswaded men to return to the worship of the Creature?
A61627And were it not a horrible profanation to appoint such a Supper as that of our Lord is, in commemoration of of S. Francis, or Ignatius Loyola?
A61627And what account doth T. G. give of it?
A61627And what answer doth T. G. give to them?
A61627And what can we beg for more from God himself?
A61627And what could have been more material to his purpose than this, if it could have been done?
A61627And what doth Tertullian say to take off these testimonies?
A61627And what helps more proper to understand these, than the Doctrine of your most learned Divines?
A61627And what is that which is Sacrificed in the Mass?
A61627And what now hath T. G. gained by this observation?
A61627And what reason have we to run to School- Divines for the sense of matters of daily practice, as the worship of Images was before the Reformation?
A61627And what saith T. G. I pray to this?
A61627And what saith T. G. to that?
A61627And what then?
A61627And what think you now of Mr. Thorndike?
A61627And when Dr. St. saith, we ought not to charge the Heathens with more than they were guilty of; doth T. G. think we ought?
A61627And when they made use of the most proper Epithets of Good and Great to describe and worship him by; is it probable they should not understand him?
A61627And where are there any such Idolaters to be found in the world?
A61627And who proves this from the Testimony of the Heathen Poets and Philosophers, and that with the very name of Jupiter too?
A61627And whoever expected they should confess themselves guilty?
A61627And why did not T. G. answer to this, which was the most material point of all others?
A61627And why in such a place, where he pretends only to give an account of Dr. St.''s vain and endless Discourses, doth he bring in this at large?
A61627And why may not Idolatry prevail where Luciferian Pride, and Hellish Cruelty, and desperate Wickedness have long since prevailed?
A61627And will not the same plea hold for us who declare we do not give Soveraign Worship to any Creatures, but only inferiour Worship?
A61627And will you make us worship it, whether we will or no?
A61627Are not his circumstances more considerable in the Church of England than ever he can hope they should be, if it were destroyed?
A61627Are not these arguments drawn from the nature of the thing, and not meerly from a positive Law?
A61627Are these all which Dr. St. mentioned?
A61627Are they not deceived in much more than the name, in the very thing it self?
A61627Are we unconcerned in the Laws God made for his worship?
A61627Are you the High- Priests of the Gospel to offer unto God the great Sacrifice of Atonement?
A61627Are you the only Christians in the world?
A61627As the man brought in Hercules into his Sermon by Head and Shoulders?
A61627At the elevation of the Host, at the carrying it about, at the exposing of it on the Altar, you worship that which was consecrated do you not?
A61627Because the Law was delivered by them?
A61627Besides, I would fain know of these Gentlemen, whether their improper and relative Latria, be Latria or Inferiour worship?
A61627Besides, Is not the Power of giving Orders a part of that lawful Authority which belongs to Bishops?
A61627But I have not yet found any cause for these clamours; and I suppose there may be as little as to this Testimony: I pray tell me where lyes it?
A61627But I pray let me understand how far and in what sense?
A61627But I pray on what occasion was this passage brought in?
A61627But Vasquez asks an untoward Question, suppose such a man be reduced to one place, whether shall he be saved or damned?
A61627But can there be no Object of worship but what is visible?
A61627But did not T. G. blame the Philosophers for an exteriour profession of Idolatry?
A61627But did not the Heathens require Divine Worship to be given to Deified- men?
A61627But do you observe the difference he puts between that and Worship?
A61627But do you think in earnest, that it is in the power of men to alter the Laws of God?
A61627But do you think, it is a good answer to an Indictment, to say it consisted of too many lines?
A61627But doth T. G. think that they gave the Titles and Epithets of Omnipotent, Omniscient,& c. to the Devil?
A61627But doth he ever so much as intimate that Jupiter of Creet was not a false God?
A61627But doth not this imply, that there was no other Civil Society in the world, wherein a man could preserve himself, but the Roman Common- wealth?
A61627But doth the Church of England challenge any such Infallibility to her self?
A61627But have not you seen, what T. G. hath said to all that, and how he hath shewed that his Witnesses were incompetent?
A61627But how I pray?
A61627But how comes it in?
A61627But how doth T. G. take off the charge of Idolatry in this Rubrick?
A61627But how doth this prove they did not intend to worship the true God there?
A61627But how subtilly had T. G. altered the whole force of the argument?
A61627But is it possible for T. G. not to apprehend the difference of these things?
A61627But is not this an admirable way of reasoning, from the Heathens objections against the Christians?
A61627But must T. G.''s quibble destroy all Dr. St.''s credit?
A61627But tell me now, whether common people are not in danger of any of these things, as much at least as of resting in the Creatures?
A61627But that you may take no advantage by his sayings; how can it be Idolatry without an Object?
A61627But the Question still remains, whether notwithstanding all this, the Heathens did not design to worship the supreme God under the name of Jove?
A61627But the first question in a fray is, how fell they out?
A61627But what answer doth T. G. give to this, which is so material a Testimony, and so destructive to all he saith, upon this matter?
A61627But what do you mean by the offering up of God to God, do you think the Divinity was the Sacrifice?
A61627But what doth T. G. mean by repeating such stuff as this?
A61627But what if there be no ground for all this?
A61627But what is all this to the proving that inferiour worship is not Idolatry?
A61627But what is it then should make him act so much against his interest?
A61627But what is this, to the sense of the Church of England?
A61627But what method doth T. G. take in this matter?
A61627But what place could be fitter for this Heresie, than the Sedes Stercoraria?
A61627But what saith T. G. to those whom he yields not to have been Puritanically inclined, and yet charged the Church of Rome with Idolatry?
A61627But what say you to T. G.''s proofs?
A61627But what then?
A61627But when men attribute such divine effects, as miraculous cures to Images, what can they believe but there is some Divinity either in or about them?
A61627But who ever reckoned the Commandments among the Articles of Faith?
A61627But why so unnecessary to answer an argument of that consequence?
A61627But why worse than Egyptian Idolatry, I beseech you?
A61627But will T. G. say, that none of these are clear, because men are put to pains and several wayes to prove them?
A61627But will any man say the true notion of Adultery is a doctrinal point of Faith?
A61627Can any thing be said plainer for Conformity, than this is by the Author of the Irenicum?
A61627Can any words be plainer than these?
A61627Can no one charge the Papists with Idolatry, but by vertue of this principle?
A61627Can the Catholick Cause be maintained by no other Arts than these?
A61627Can you, with any face say, there is not so much danger in the worship of Images, as in the worship of the Creatures?
A61627Did Dr. St. meddle with the School- Divines any otherwise than as they explained the sense of Councils, or the practice of the Church?
A61627Did St. Paul mean the Devil when he said, whom you ignorantly worship, him I declare unto you?
A61627Did he ever say that the Church of Rome did not erre against the doctrine of the second commandment?
A61627Did he in good earnest go abroad to preach the Devil to the world?
A61627Did he, or did he not?
A61627Did not K. James understand what he said, and what they did?
A61627Did not the Heathens believe that to be God which they worshipped?
A61627Did so many Popes know no better this distinction between the Validity of Ordination, and the Power of Jurisdiction?
A61627Did these Testimonies prove this, or did they not?
A61627Did they believe Christ incorporated in that Image too?
A61627Did we then think, the good old Cause would ever have ended thus?
A61627Do not Booksellers look on Books as their own, and do what they please with them, without the Authors consent or approbation?
A61627Do not we see the Papists, who were thought the greatest enemies to toleration in the world, now plead most vehemently for it?
A61627Do not you know the Christian Church hath been broken into different Communions ever since the four General Councils, and continues so to this day?
A61627Do not you understand it now?
A61627Do not your own Writers confess, that in some cases an Image may become an Idol, by having Divine Worship given to it?
A61627Do they not set up an Vsurper instead of God, and his most inveterate enemy, and attribute infinite and undivided power to him?
A61627Do you deny this power to be given in your Orders?
A61627Do you indeed in this sense make a Present of the Son of God to the Father?
A61627Do you mean all of them so absolutely appropriated to God, that it is not lawful upon any account to give them to any other?
A61627Do you observe the several Mole- hills which he hath cast up; and is not that a sign he works un- derground?
A61627Do you think the Laconian in Boccalini would have made such a noise for missing a page or two in Guicciardins War of Pisa?
A61627Doth Athenagoras yield this to be a good proof concerning one true God, and yet deny the true God to be meant by Jupiter?
A61627Doth T. G. call these Capriches?
A61627Doth T. G. name any more than Origen to prove that Jupiter according to the Fathers was an Arch- devil?
A61627Doth T. G. talk at this rate; and hope to excuse the Church of Rome from Idolatry?
A61627Doth T. G. upon so long consideration of this matter name any?
A61627Doth he not mention their doctrine, and their distinctions?
A61627Doth it lye in the consecration of the Elements which are visible?
A61627Doth it lye in the mimical gestures of the Priest at the Altar in imitation of Christ on the Cross?
A61627Doth it not hence follow, that the God whom the Gentiles knew, was the same whom the Christians worshipped?
A61627Doth not God himself tell the Jews they were far from him, when they seemed most to draw nigh unto him?
A61627Doth not T. G. appeal to the Articles of the Church of England for the most authentick declaration of her sense?
A61627Doth not this excuse the Gnosticks worship of the Image of Christ, as well as yours?
A61627Doth this prove either Dr. St.''s ignorance, or tergiversation?
A61627Either the Christians were right in condemning such Worship for Idolatry, or not?
A61627F. C. And what then?
A61627F. C. But you use the same postures which the Papists do, and yet you charge them with Idolatry?
A61627F. C. Call you this rambling?
A61627F. C. What do I care for your Church or her Rubricks?
A61627F. C. What is it you would have by all these Questions?
A61627F. C. What is that?
A61627F. C. What matter is it, what you say or deny?
A61627F. C. Who doubts of that?
A61627F. C. Who is this Patronus bonae Fidei, you speak so much of?
A61627F. C. Why, have I not told you already?
A61627F. C. You would fain draw me in to dispute again, would you?
A61627For I pray tell me wherein lies the difference between Soveraign Worship, and Inferiour: In Acts of the Mind, or in External Acts?
A61627For I still ask, what it was, which made their Worship of Angels Idolatry?
A61627For are not absolute and relative worship two distinct kinds?
A61627For are not those Atheists who acknowledge no other God but meer matter; i. e. no God at all?
A61627For can any words be more express than those, in the Introduction?
A61627For dare any of you say so of the Church of Rome in respect of Images?
A61627For do we take our Images for Gods?
A61627For do you think it is possible to give the worship proper to God to an Image, or not?
A61627For doth he think our Bishops and Clergy were not careful that their true sense were set forth in the Latin Articles?
A61627For how came you to make a Present to God of his own Son?
A61627For if the Bishops were never so much inclined to it, how could they possibly give ease to you without destroying themselves?
A61627For is the Image or Cross worshipped, or not?
A61627For what are all their bowings, and kneelings, and crossings, but vain imaginations?
A61627For what consent could there be between God and the Devil?
A61627For what could the Army mean else, by that acclamation, Deo Deorum& qui solus potens?
A61627For what kind of God, saith he, was that which had neither sense nor reason?
A61627For who can tell what secret Idolaters or Hereticks there might be among those Bishops from whom that Authority is derived?
A61627For why may not I worship God in any creature as well as by an Image?
A61627For, I pray, how comes it to be Idolatry in them who give only an inferiour and relative worship, if that worship be not Idolatry?
A61627For, do we believe, that the Jews made an ordinary man to be the Eternal Son of God by speaking five words over him?
A61627For, either they did believe some other God or not?
A61627For, if no man can give that which he hath not; how can those give power and Authority who have none?
A61627For, would any man say this, that thought it could ever be proved to be against the sense of the Church of England?
A61627God in general forbids Murder, Theft and Adultery; but are not those prohibited acts to be judged by the circumstances?
A61627Gods or the Devils?
A61627Had he not better look more about him, before he makes such rude and impertinent clamours about Dr. St.''s insincerity in quoting Authors?
A61627Had he then any suspicion of his being Puritanically inclined?
A61627Hath he brought him under an Index Expurgatorius?
A61627Hath he done it in all the quotations out of him, or only in one?
A61627Hath he ever Preached or Written any Doctrine since, contrary to the sense of the Church of England?
A61627Hath he falsified his words and corrupted the Text?
A61627Hath he made any party or faction to the disturbance of the Peace of the Church?
A61627Hath he not conformed to its Rules, observed its Offices, obeyed his Superiours, and been ready to defend its Cause against Adversaries of all sorts?
A61627Hath not the Dr. truly cited his words?
A61627Hath not the difference of these cases been laid open before him?
A61627Have not the Gates of the Turk been too strong for them?
A61627Have not you assented and consented to all that is in the Book of Common Prayer, and what will you stick at after?
A61627Have you the power of bestowing him in your hands?
A61627Heylin suggest any such thing?
A61627How can this be the meaning of the Council of Laodicea, when it declares for the honouring, and celebrating the Feast- days of the Martyrs?
A61627How could our Church do less than she did in this matter, if she would declare her sense to the World, or take care of her own security?
A61627How could the Christians plead the consent of the Wiser Heathens with them, if they owned a Devil instead of the true God?
A61627How could this be, if their supreme God whom they worshipped were only an Arch- devil?
A61627How doth T. G. make that out?
A61627How else can the giving it to a Creature make it Idolatry?
A61627How far Gods appropriating these Acts doth concern us?
A61627How far the Gentiles could be charged with Idolatry, who worshipped the parts of the world with respect to God as the soul of it?
A61627How go the prices of Books here?
A61627How is that possible on T. G.''s principles, when they were only Gods Ministers therein?
A61627How many Cords are necessary to tye these two together?
A61627How many before the dayes of the Schoolmen were of opinion that the censures of the Church did take away the power of Orders?
A61627How much of the good Divinity of the late times might they have for the money?
A61627How must they starve their people with the Divinity of these men?
A61627How often must you be told, that the question is not, whether the Devils were not assisting in the practice of Idolatry?
A61627How the applying the Acts of Religious Worship to a Creature makes that Worship Idolatry?
A61627How then can any Christian trust his soul with that Church, which hath the Conscience to bar him of such helps provided by God?
A61627How then can this absolute Divine Honour be given to a Created Being?
A61627How then, saith Dr. St. comes S. Augustines Authority to be quitted for the one, and so greedily embraced for the other?
A61627I grant he mentions Theophilus Antio ● hemis in the same page; but to what purpose?
A61627I pray tell me was not he a man in his heart of our Church, and only lived in the external communion of yours?
A61627I pray tell me, how long is it since you of the Church of England have maintained this charge?
A61627I pray tell me, was there any harm in this or not?
A61627I pray what say you to Archbishop Whitgift?
A61627I pray, when and where?
A61627Idolatry?
A61627If Christ do remain whole and entire after all the Sacrificial Acts, where I say is the true and proper Sacrifice?
A61627If Christs precept were to be understood of all kind of swearing, do you really think it would be lawful to swear at all?
A61627If I bowed to a Friend at Church, is any man so senseless to take this for Idolatry?
A61627If Jove meant by Aratus was no other than an Arch- devil, how doth this prove us to have our dependence on God for life and motion?
A61627If T. G. were sent upon a Mission to them, I would fain know by what arguments he could convince any of these of Idolatry?
A61627If actual extension may be separated from a Body, why not quantity it self?
A61627If an Athenian had asked S. Paul, whose Off- spring doth Aratus say we are?
A61627If he did not, Dr. St. was in the right: if he did, why did not T. G. shew it?
A61627If it be not, why did the Council of Nice declare against it; if it be, tell me in what Acts that Worship of Latria doth consist?
A61627If it be only a Sacramental change, what is that to a Sacrifice of propitiation?
A61627If not, how comes a propitiatory Sacrifice without shedding of Blood?
A61627If the blood be not really separated from the Body, where is the mactation, which must be in a propitiatory Sacrifice?
A61627If the body of Christ doth remain whole and entire, where is the true proper Sacrifice?
A61627If there may be Idolatry in the worship of an Image, we are then to consider, whether your worship be not Idolatry?
A61627If they did not; why did not T. G. discover them all?
A61627If they say, it is after the manner of a Spirit, that doth by no means salve the contradiction; for how can a body be after the manner of a Spirit?
A61627If this were Idolatry in them, why not in you?
A61627If two women in travail prayed for help, the one to Lucina, the other to the B. Virgin, is the first only guilty of Idolatry?
A61627In acknowledging a Creator, but giving all the worship to the Creatures?
A61627In what sense making God the soul of the world is setting up a false God?
A61627In worshipping God as the soul of the world, and the several parts of it with respect to him?
A61627In worshipping bad men instead of good?
A61627Is all this, saith D. St. nothing but to charge them with such practices which they detest?
A61627Is he slain again in the Mass?
A61627Is it Idolatry or not?
A61627Is it not as clear as the Sun, that it was to shew that the charge of Idolatry was against the sense of the Church of England?
A61627Is it not enough for us to unswer Objections; unless we put them just in the page you would have them, after the way of Objections and Solutions?
A61627Is it not sufficient that it be in all Acts of Religious Worship?
A61627Is it not that we meet together and joyn in acts of Devotion to testifie our acknowledgement of Gods Soveraignty and dependence upon him?
A61627Is it not the giving divine worship to a creature?
A61627Is it not thus in the other Commandments?
A61627Is it not, because Gods incommunicable excellency requires an external worship peculiar to it self?
A61627Is it not?
A61627Is it only for his comfort to let him see, there is one body at least in the world, more foolish and impertinent than he?
A61627Is it possible to give divine worship to an Image of a person, without respect to the person?
A61627Is it then Idolatry to deny external Worship to God out of Reverence to his Majesty, and to give it to inferiour Beings?
A61627Is it to suppose that which they worship to be truly and properly God, as T. G. saith?
A61627Is it, or is it not an Article of Faith?
A61627Is it, or is it not?
A61627Is not Latria the Worship proper to God?
A61627Is not T. G. a man of admirable dexterity, and unparallel''d ingenuity?
A61627Is not a Power to reward and punish in the Tutelar Spirits set down by Dr. St. out of Trigautius?
A61627Is not a power to excommunicate and absolve a part of that jurisdiction which T. G. doth distinguish from the bare power of Orders?
A61627Is not adoration a part of Worship?
A61627Is not adoration of an Image, Idolatry?
A61627Is not the celebration of the Eucharist an appropriate Act of Divine Worship now under the Gospel?
A61627Is not the great High- Priest of our profession entred within the Vail, and is there making intercession by vertue of his Sacrifice on the Cross?
A61627Is not this a rare invention?
A61627Is not this enough to shew the difference of their Worship to any men of common sense?
A61627Is not this home do you think?
A61627Is not this kind of procedure more suitable to the design of Julian, than of the Reformation?
A61627Is not this to make such a Saint a sharer in the Government of the World, as much as the Heathens did their Tutelar Gods under one Supreme?
A61627Is that your wise question?
A61627Is the bowing down to an Image Idolatry?
A61627Is the man alive I pray, that we may give him our due thanks for the service he hath done us upon many occasions?
A61627Is this account true, or false?
A61627Is this argument good, or not?
A61627Is this equal dealing?
A61627Is this fair dealing?
A61627Is this his meaning?
A61627Is this only to shew the Witnesses Dr. St. produced to be incompetent?
A61627Is this then the same case with a Wives kissing her Husbands Picture?
A61627Is this true, or is it not?
A61627Is this, saith he, the voice of Nature in the common people, or the confession of a Christian?
A61627Is your cause to be supported only by such tricks as these?
A61627It is a great undertaking, and becoming T. G. But how?
A61627It is true, they do so and must do so if they would live; but what then?
A61627Judge you now whether upon the account of such pitiful cavils, Dr. St. hath forfeited his right of being believed in his Citations?
A61627Jupiter, Saturn, Juno, Aesculapius,& c. I pray consider, were these their Gods or not?
A61627Just thus it is in the present case, your Church declares such Acts of Worship may be lawfully applied to Images and Saints; but what then?
A61627Leaving out of Christ might make it Judaism or Heathenism, but how comes it to be Idolatry?
A61627Lugo alone produced?
A61627Lugo produced at all?
A61627May not a Bishop or Priest remaining so, be deprived of all lawful Authority to exercise their Functions, for having faln into Heresie or Idolatry?
A61627Must he search and examine them, one by one?
A61627Must we impute this to a casual Vndulation of the visual rayes, as T. G. very finely expresseth it?
A61627No one questions the former to be the sense of our Church; the only question lyes in the later, whether that be Idolatry or no?
A61627Nothing?
A61627Now how can it signifie the Honour due only to God, if it may signifie the honour due to his Creatures?
A61627Now judge you whether according to this principle there can be nothing unlawful, but it must be an Idol?
A61627Now saith T. G. those were the words of Arnobius to the Heathen; what then?
A61627Nyssen did argue well against the Arians or not?
A61627Or did Epiphanius believe him to be so in the Image on the Veil, or the Council of Elvira in the Pictures upon Walls?
A61627Or doth T. G. suppose, that they did own one true God, but gave all their worship to the Devil?
A61627Or doth it lye in the swallowing down, and consumption of the species after Consecration by the Priest?
A61627Or hath he wilfully altered his sense and meaning?
A61627Or is it to give divine worship to the Creatures without any respect to God the Maker of the World and of all things in it?
A61627Or out of pure spite to Dr. St. by so often repeating the passage of his being delinitus& occaecatus?
A61627Or rather whom do his Clients the Fanaticks worship?
A61627Or, if not, is his opinion to be taken from a Panegyrical Oration, or a strict Dispute?
A61627P. D And what then?
A61627P. D. And I pray what do you observe concerning the buying of Books here?
A61627P. D. And are not your eyes upon your Hats when you pray?
A61627P. D. And did not the same Fathers bring infinite arguments to prove that these Gods were but men?
A61627P. D. And do you think Images( but that they are set so high) have not more of the Nature of Stumbling- blocks in them?
A61627P. D. And doth not Dr. St. say as much?
A61627P. D. And doth not the argument hold?
A61627P. D. And doth this mighty effort come to this at last?
A61627P. D. And how I pray doth T. G. clear himself?
A61627P. D. And is not that to the purpose?
A61627P. D. And must this pass for an Answer to Dr. St.''s Discourse about the sense of the second Commandment?
A61627P. D. And was not this true?
A61627P. D. And were those who were only Deified- men, truly and properly Gods and not by way of participation?
A61627P. D. And what answer doth T. G. give to that?
A61627P. D. And what follows?
A61627P. D. And what if T. G. be mistaken as to every one of these?
A61627P. D. And what then I beseech you?
A61627P. D. And what then I beseech you?
A61627P. D. And what then I beseech you?
A61627P. D. And what then, I pray?
A61627P. D. And what then?
A61627P. D. And what then?
A61627P. D. And what then?
A61627P. D. Are not these the two persons whom Dr. St. goes about to excuse for applying the Poetical Fables to Jupiter O. M.?
A61627P. D. Are you in earnest?
A61627P. D. Are you in earnest?
A61627P. D. Are you sure of that?
A61627P. D. Are you sure of that?
A61627P. D. Are you sure of that?
A61627P. D. Are you sure that Dr. St. ever meant any such thing?
A61627P. D. But I pray Sir, how comes in this discourse about Bishop Abbot?
A61627P. D. But I pray how?
A61627P. D. But doth not Dr. St. expresly say, that it was upon the prayers of Christians, that miracle was wrought?
A61627P. D. But doth not the Cardinal say so?
A61627P. D. But have you forgotten already, what you so lately told me, that T. G. proved that the generality of the Heathens did worship Deified- men?
A61627P. D. But if it should remain bread after consecration, what do ye adore then?
A61627P. D. But is it not lawful to eat Bread and to drink Wine together?
A61627P. D. But what is all this to the Latin Articles which Dr. St. appealed to, for explication of the English?
A61627P. D. But what is this to Dr. St.?
A61627P. D. Call you this a thing of nothing?
A61627P. D. Call you this proving?
A61627P. D. Can a man then have an equal esteem of God and a Creature?
A61627P. D. Can any man give Orders without a Power to do it?
A61627P. D. Can not T. G. understand the difference between an erroneous belief and an erroneous practical judgement?
A61627P. D. Can not a man write against your Idolatry, but he must be another Julian?
A61627P. D. Did he so?
A61627P. D. Did not they believe there was no other substance but of God present in what they worshipped?
A61627P. D. Did not they worship the Image of Christ?
A61627P. D. Do not you give adoration to that which is consecrated, whether it remains a creature or not after consecration?
A61627P. D. Do you believe a true, proper propitiatory Sacrifice in the Mass, or not?
A61627P. D. Do you deny this power to be part of jurisdiction?
A61627P. D. Do you mean that they gave him no external Worship, or that they gave him no worship at all?
A61627P. D. Do you not perceive?
A61627P. D. Do you not remember the answer Dr. St. hath already given to this objection?
A61627P. D. Do you really think any of them did worship meer matter, without life, sense, or understanding for God?
A61627P. D. Do you think I have forgotten my Creed?
A61627P. D. Do you think he spake consistently to himself?
A61627P. D. Doth T. G. call this a second Reason?
A61627P. D. Doth he indeed say so?
A61627P. D. Doth he so?
A61627P. D. Doth he truly?
A61627P. D. Doth he truly?
A61627P. D. Doth not the Council of Trent say the character is imprinted upon saying those words, Accipe spiritum sanctum,& c. R. P. What would you be at?
A61627P. D. For what good end was Dr. St. joyned with these?
A61627P. D. For what reason?
A61627P. D. HOw long have you been at the Auction?
A61627P. D. Have you ever been a hunting of Squirrels?
A61627P. D. He doth so; but not much to her comfort; for he supposes she may be broken off through unbelief, as well as any other Church?
A61627P. D. How and where?
A61627P. D. How can that be giving to a Creature the Worship due to God; if it be not lawful to give this Worship to God which you give to the Creature?
A61627P. D. How comes it then to be Idolatry supposing the Divinity united to the substance of the Sun?
A61627P. D. How doth he prove that?
A61627P. D. How doth it appear necessary, that such an appropriation must be in all circumstances?
A61627P. D. How is it possible to satisfie men who are resolved to cavil?
A61627P. D. How is that?
A61627P. D. How so?
A61627P. D. How then can there be a power of giving Orders without Authority?
A61627P. D. I have often heard of this distinction, but I could never be satisfied with it: For what is material and formal Idolatry?
A61627P. D. I pray tell me for what end were the Fathers appealed to in this dispute about the nature of Idolatry?
A61627P. D. Is it lawful to give God that worship,( which it is lawful to give absolutely) in a place set apart for his Worship?
A61627P. D. Is it not then an injury to Gods honour to give that Worship which ought to be peculiar to himself, to any of his Creatures?
A61627P. D. Is it possible for T. G. to think to fob us off with such answers as these?
A61627P. D. Is not God worshipped solemnly by us, when we joyn together in prayer to him?
A61627P. D. Is not Idolatry giving to a Creature the Worship that is due to God?
A61627P. D. Is not that Power a part of Episcopal Authority?
A61627P. D. Is not this external worship, that which the Fathers mean, by the adoration that is implyed in prayer?
A61627P. D. Is not this power given by the very Form of Orders in your Church?
A61627P. D. Is relative Latria Idolatry?
A61627P. D. Is the character of Orders given by words that signifie nothing, and carry no effect along with them?
A61627P. D. Is the improper and relative sacrificing to an Image Idolatry?
A61627P. D. Is there any true, proper propitiatory Sacrifice, where there is not a consumptive change of that which is Sacrificed?
A61627P. D. Is there any worship so proper to God, that it can not be improperly and relatively given to an Image?
A61627P. D. Is this it which T. G. thought worth repeating at large?
A61627P. D. Is this such a difficulty to be set in the Front?
A61627P. D. Is this the Just Discharge, to borrow so much out of the Fanatick stock?
A61627P. D. Is this the weighty observation?
A61627P. D. Let him take it in what sense he will; doth he not speak of the adoration proper to Latria, or the worship peculiar to God?
A61627P. D. Must not this due esteem distinguish him from all Creatures?
A61627P. D. Not deny it?
A61627P. D. Not take notice of it?
A61627P. D. Not yet?
A61627P. D. Not, when you speak to the business: Do you understand what Idolatry is?
A61627P. D. Of a Crellius?
A61627P. D. On what I pray?
A61627P. D. Ought not that Worship then to be so peculiar to him, as to manifest the different esteem we have of the Creatour and his Creatures?
A61627P. D. Say you so?
A61627P. D. That is, they gave them Divine Worship, and what then?
A61627P. D. That should be better proved; For how doth it follow from Justins words?
A61627P. D. Then I ask, whether offering up ones self, or offering up a cake to a Saint, be the greater Idolatry?
A61627P. D. Then their fault lay in giving divine Worship to the Image of Christ?
A61627P. D. Then you ask me, which is the Church of Rome?
A61627P. D. Then you give Christ the worship due to him, or not?
A61627P. D. Then you must make the Divinity the Sacrifice; and how can that be a Sacrifice which is capable of no change?
A61627P. D. This is very ridiculous; but how doth T. G. apply it?
A61627P. D. To what end should you repeat all that?
A61627P. D. To what purpose is all this raking, and scraping, and searching, and quoting of passages not at all to the point of Idolatry?
A61627P. D. To what purpose?
A61627P. D. Was it not lawful to give the same worship to the Images of the Emperours as to the Emperours themselves?
A61627P. D. Was it not wisely done?
A61627P. D. Was that Divine Worship supreme or not?
A61627P. D. What are those Internal Acts wherein the Worship of the Supreme God consists?
A61627P. D. What do you mean by this absolute Divine Honour?
A61627P. D. What follows from hence I beseech you?
A61627P. D. What hath the speaking Trumpet to do with Idolatry?
A61627P. D. What is become of the speaking Trumpet now?
A61627P. D. What is it then but to cavil about words, to deny that to be real Idolatry which at the same time he confesses ought to be interpreted to be so?
A61627P. D. What is that?
A61627P. D. What is that?
A61627P. D. What is the fault then?
A61627P. D. What is the matter with T. G. that for his life he can understand these things no better, after all the pains which hath been taken about him?
A61627P. D. What is this but trifling in weighty matters?
A61627P. D. What is this proper divine honour?
A61627P. D. What is this to the purpose?
A61627P. D. What means the giving divine worship as to an absolute Deity?
A61627P. D. What other way should the difference of moral actions be tried?
A61627P. D. What parallel doth he mean?
A61627P. D. What reason can you give for that?
A61627P. D. What then I beseech you?
A61627P. D. What then?
A61627P. D. What then?
A61627P. D. What was that proper divine worship?
A61627P. D. What would T. G. have done, had it not been for this practice of bowing towards the Altar?
A61627P. D. What?
A61627P. D. Wherein did the nature of this Idolatry lye?
A61627P. D. Wherein did their fault lye?
A61627P. D. Wherein lyes this external worship?
A61627P. D. Which of all the parts is the whole?
A61627P. D. Who denies that?
A61627P. D. Who doth not know T. G. to be a man of art?
A61627P. D. Who ever denyed this?
A61627P. D. Who knows best?
A61627P. D. Why doth T. G. go about thus to impose on his Readers without answering what Dr. St. had produced to the contrary?
A61627P. D. Why not over Arch- Bishop Bramhall, whose words Dr. St. cites?
A61627P. D. Why so?
A61627P. D. Why so?
A61627P. D. Will T. G. never understand the difference between the intention of the person and the Nature of the Act?
A61627P. D. Will T. G. stand to it, that this is Idolatry?
A61627P. D. Will the same reason hold against bowing out of Reverence to Almighty God?
A61627P. D. Will you stand to this?
A61627P. D. Yes; what have you to say more about them?
A61627P. D. You take the course to do it, with all this impertinency; but what is it you have to say?
A61627R. P. And do not you think these expressions highly injurious to that inestimable Sacrifice which Christ himself Offered upon the Cross?
A61627R. P. And what follows?
A61627R. P. And what then?
A61627R. P. And what then?
A61627R. P. And what then?
A61627R. P. And what then?
A61627R. P. Are there so many Books to be had about Liberty of Conscience?
A61627R. P. But can not we say, that we only worship God before an Image, and do not give any Religious worship to the Image, and then the case is parallel?
A61627R. P. But do not you think that Dr. St. had some secret design in all this really to subvert the Authority of the Church of England?
A61627R. P. But doth not Dr. St. allow a possibility of falshood notwithstanding all this pretence of Certainty?
A61627R. P. But doth not S. Paul say, that the Heathens offered to Devils and not to God; and will you make S. Paul to contradict himself?
A61627R. P. But hath he done this indeed?
A61627R. P. But hath not Christ promised that the Gates of Hell shall never prevail against his Church?
A61627R. P. But how then come in those words produced by T. G.?
A61627R. P. But how will you know what external Acts of worship those are which are peculiar to God?
A61627R. P. But is it not a Fundamental Errour to destroy the doctrine of the second Commandment?
A61627R. P. But is it not an undeniable Maxime, that no man can give to another, that which he hath not himself?
A61627R. P. But may not I shew respect to the Cross for Christs sake, without giving the same worship to the Cross, that I do to Christ?
A61627R. P. But may not a man innocently mistake?
A61627R. P. But suppose they thought access to God was only by them?
A61627R. P. But this is but one single passage, and will you condemn a whole Church for that?
A61627R. P. But what are these appropriate Acts of Divine Worship?
A61627R. P. But what have you got by all this?
A61627R. P. But what is this to the worship of Images?
A61627R. P. But what other argument have you to prove that P. Heylin could not speak this of the charge of Idolatry?
A61627R. P. But what say you to S. Augustin whom Dr. St. represents as the most baffled by the Heathens in this point?
A61627R. P. But why did not Dr. St. answer punctually to all that T. G. said?
A61627R. P. But why then doth he call it Moral Certainty?
A61627R. P. Did you ever hear of the speaking Trumpet?
A61627R. P. Do not you know the Council of Trent hath expresly defined it, and anathematized all those who say the contrary?
A61627R. P. Do not you think making God the soul of the world is setting up a false God?
A61627R. P. Doth not Dr. St. make express Scripture his most certain rule of Faith?
A61627R. P. Doth not S. Paul say, that the Roman faith was spoken of throughout the World?
A61627R. P. Doth not this justifie the Quakers in denying to give any external honour to a Creature?
A61627R. P. Hath God tyed us by his command to offer Sacrifice, or burn Incense, or make Vows to him?
A61627R. P. Have I not told you already, that the Church of England doth not allow any worship to be given to the Altar?
A61627R. P. How can the nature of such acts be determined wholly by circumstances, unless the appropriation of them be taken away?
A61627R. P. How did the Gentiles to their false Gods?
A61627R. P. How is that?
A61627R. P. How then can your Divines hold a real presence of Christs Body, as T. G. saith they do?
A61627R. P. I tell you I read none of his Books, and know not what he hath written, but as I find it in T. G. P. D. What is that?
A61627R. P. If the first Christians had upon their knees in time of prayer begged S. James his benediction, had this been an unlawful Act of Worship?
A61627R. P. If they are but inferiour Truths, saith T. G. was it worth the while to rend asunder the Peace of Christendom for them?
A61627R. P. Is it not for the honour of a Person to praise God for him?
A61627R. P. Is there not a Catholick Church?
A61627R. P. May I know what they are Sir?
A61627R. P. Might not he be said, to offer up God himself to God as a Sacrifice?
A61627R. P. Might not they believe Christ to be assumed as Consort in the Empire, and so absolute Divine Honour to be due to him?
A61627R. P. Might not those, as T. G. saith, who were at the foot of the Cross, offer up the Son of God on the Cross to the Father?
A61627R. P. Therefore waving this, I come to the main point; whether the Heathen Jupiter were the true God, or an Arch- Devil?
A61627R. P. To what purpose is all this charge and pains, if there be an infallible Church?
A61627R. P. To what purpose?
A61627R. P. What do you make then this worship of the Arians to be?
A61627R. P. What do you mean by this appropriating acts of worship to God?
A61627R. P. What do you mean?
A61627R. P. What is it you understand by appropriate acts of Divine Worship?
A61627R. P. What is it?
A61627R. P. What need you ask that, when I have told you already?
A61627R. P. What saith my Fanatick Acquaintance to all this?
A61627R. P. What say you to Dr. St.''s obs ● rvations of the Council of Trent about the Worship of Images?
A61627R. P. What then?
A61627R. P. What think you of the notion of Idolatry he chargeth on T. G.?
A61627R. P. What think you, was Robert Abbot Bishop of Salisbury a Puritan or not?
A61627R. P. What will become of the Rules of the Church, saith T. G. if men may be permitted to break them for such Capriches as these are?
A61627R. P. What would you have a man do?
A61627R. P. What would you have?
A61627R. P. Whereabouts are they now in the Catalogue?
A61627R. P. Which is that Catholick Church?
A61627R. P. Who are they who have written for it?
A61627R. P. Who doubts of that?
A61627R. P. Why do you ask me such an impertinent question?
A61627R. P. Why do you ask me such an impertinent question?
A61627R. P. Why do you ask these questions?
A61627R. P. Why not?
A61627R. P. Why should you question that?
A61627R. P. Will not the same reason hold against bowing to the Altar; bowing being an act of worship appropriated to God?
A61627R. P. Will you never be satisfied?
A61627R. P. Yes, but what then?
A61627R. P. You are very severe methinks; but do you think there is no difference among Idolaters?
A61627R. P. You shall not escape thus; what say you to bowing to the Altar, is not that as great Idolatry, as worship of Images?
A61627Say you so?
A61627Suppose the Priests Intention should wander, what would the Peoples uniting their intentions signifie towards the Sacrifice?
A61627Suppose they were Jews; must they therefore needs be Idolaters?
A61627T. G. speaks somewhat faintly in this matter, at first saying only, Why might it not be absolute?
A61627That which Justin saith is, that what he attributes to Devils, the Poets attribute to God himself and his Sons: and what then?
A61627The Altar?
A61627The Church of Constantinople, or the Church of Jerusalem?
A61627The Church of Rome?
A61627The next step may be, that the sacrificing may depend on the Peoples Intentions as well as the Priests; and what a case are you in then?
A61627The whole Christian Church?
A61627These are matters of great moment, if they hold good; doth he pass all these by, only to fall upon one single Testimony?
A61627This Book happened to come under the Spanish Index of Cardinal Quiroga; do you think he would suffer it to stand as it did?
A61627This debate in truth comes to this point at last, whether there ought to be any such thing as a peculiar external worship of God or not?
A61627This is the current Divinity of the Modern Schools; and what obliges them to look into the opinions of former Ages?
A61627This is therefore the single point to be debated, whether according to Minucius they understood the same God or not?
A61627Those that made the Canon or you?
A61627Tolet, that Idolatry doth suppose an error in the mind, in judging that to deserve divine honour which doth not?
A61627Was Jupiter O. M. one of these dead men?
A61627Was it Idolatry to pray to Diana as an inferiour Deity which presided over hunting, and is it none to pray to S. Hubert on the like account?
A61627Was it Idolatry to pray to Vesta to preserve from the Fire, and is it none to pray to S. Agatha?
A61627Was it T. G.''s design then, not to dispute what was the sense of the Church of England; nor whether Dr. St. dissented from it?
A61627Was it not to prove Idolatry consistent with the acknowledgement of one Supreme God?
A61627Was not the Church of Rome once a sound and Catholick Church?
A61627Was not this enough to put any man out of humour?
A61627Was the wise Council of Nice, so immaterial a thing?
A61627Was there nothing material in what concerns the charge of Contradictions, Paradoxes, School- disputes,& c.?
A61627Was this his way to perswade the men of Lystra to leave the worship of their Gods, to tell them that he came to teach them to worship Jupiter?
A61627Was this meant by Athenagoras of the true God, or of the Arch- devil?
A61627Well; but what is this horrible crime about Gregory Nyssen?
A61627Were all these Heads and Fountains too?
A61627Were the Gnosticks and ancient Hereticks to blame in their Worship of Images, or not?
A61627Were the Romans ignorant of that, which Tertullian saith, no man could be ignorant of?
A61627What a fine insinuation is couched under all this?
A61627What becomes then of the Authority of these Councils?
A61627What can this signifie, if he did not take the Worship of Images to be Idolatry?
A61627What connexion was there between this Hypothesis, and the disparagement which Images did imply to the Divine Nature?
A61627What could be said more express to remove that abominable pretence of the Doctors, that the God of the Romans was the true God?
A61627What do you mean by the Catholick Church?
A61627What do you tell me of a Bishop of Salisbury for a Puritan?
A61627What do you think of this argument?
A61627What doth T. G. answer to that?
A61627What doth T. G. think now?
A61627What doth he worship himself?
A61627What force is there in this arguing, if Athenagoras did not look on Plato''s God and the Christians to be the same?
A61627What force were there in this argument; if the God they owned were not the true God, but an Arch- devil?
A61627What is all this to giving Religious Worship to the Altar?
A61627What is it in the Church of England you do charge with Idolatry?
A61627What is that I beseech you?
A61627What is that, I pray?
A61627What is that, when they believed him to be a Creature?
A61627What is the matter man?
A61627What is there in all this in the least repugnant to what Dr. St. had delivered?
A61627What is there in these Meletetiques, but what is the duty of every good man, to see God in his works?
A61627What mean all those sayings of Fathers, all those Canons of Councils, wherein this very manner of Worship was condemned for Idolatry?
A61627What nonsense and contradiction would T. G. cry out upon, if Dr. St. had ever said any such thing?
A61627What pity it is T. G. had no better a Cause, he sets this off so prettily?
A61627What prices do they give for a Justin Martyr, or Epiphanius or Philo, who they say was a meer Jew?
A61627What saith T. G. to that?
A61627What saith T. G. to this?
A61627What saith T. G. to this?
A61627What saith T. G. to this?
A61627What say you to his Irenicum in the first place?
A61627What should he do?
A61627What think you now Sir?
A61627What think you of the Christian Church condemning the Carpocratians for worshipping an Image of Christ?
A61627What union is there between the Divine Nature and a Crucifix?
A61627What was T. G.''s design in this, if it were not to prove the charge of Idolatry to be against the sense of the Church of England?
A61627What was to be done in this case?
A61627What wonderful discovery is this, which T. G. hath made?
A61627When they intend to write against him; then, have you Dr. St.''s Irenicum?
A61627Where are the measures and bounds fixed, that thus far we may go and no farther?
A61627Where doth he ever assume any such title to himself?
A61627Where lyes the consequence?
A61627Wherein I beseech you?
A61627Wherein the Nature of that Divine Worship lyes, which being given to a Creature makes it Idolatry?
A61627Whether it were consistent with the acknowledgement of one supreme God?
A61627Whether it were the Fathers own sense that Jupiter was the Supreme God?
A61627Whether the Fathers do not acknowledge that this was pretended by the Heathens?
A61627Whether the Heathens did not acknowledge one Supreme God?
A61627Whether the Heathens did not pretend that they understood this Supreme God by Jupiter, and accordingly gave him the titles due to the Supreme God?
A61627Whether you have not as much reason to separate from the Church of England, as the Church of England had from the Church of Rome?
A61627Whether you think the Heathens Idolatry did lye in worshipping meer matter as God?
A61627Which is as much as to say, he deserves to stand in the Pillory for suborning Witnesses, and why should he be credited in any thing he saith?
A61627Who is it I pray hath the knack of saying, and unsaying; of affirming and denying the very same thing in a few leaves?
A61627Why Hincmarus re- ordained those who had been ordained by Ebbo, because he had been deposed?
A61627Why Leo 9. in a Synod voided all Simoniacal Ordinations?
A61627Why Pope Lucius 3. did re- ordain those who had been ordained by Octavianus the Anti- pope?
A61627Why Stephanus 4. re- ordained those who had received Orders from Pope Constantine?
A61627Why Stephanus 6. re- ordained those which were ordained by Formosus?
A61627Why Vrban 2. declared Nezelon or Wecilo an excommunicate Bishop of Ments to have no power of giving Orders?
A61627Why did not T. G. rather answer these arguments, than make odious comparisons of him, with Viret and Beza?
A61627Why doth T. G. go about to deceive the world in making it believe that all their Invocation is only praying to pray for them?
A61627Why is it necessary to leave this Church, in which persons are baptized, and not in that before Luther?
A61627Why is there not an external act of Idolatry, as well as of perjury, theft, murder and the like?
A61627Why may we not worship Trees, and Fountains, Earth, and Water, and the whole Host of Heaven as well as an Image?
A61627Why so I pray?
A61627Why so I pray?
A61627Why so?
A61627Why the Ordinations made by Photius were declared null?
A61627Why then is T. G. ashamed now of it, and denies he had any such design?
A61627Why then may not Dr. St. discover God in his Creatures, since he asserts so great an assurance of Gods being their Creatour?
A61627Will T. G. quote the Fathers from one end to the other to prove that all men are sinners?
A61627Will he tell them, he knows better what they do, than they do themselves?
A61627Would they have born such things in Plato, Euripides or any other Philosopher or Poet?
A61627Would they not rather have reproved, censured, condemned them for them, as the most intolerable reproaches of the Divine Nature?
A61627Yea, more than this, have not the common people been charged with doing these things by your own Divines?
A61627Yes, saith T. G., there was a distinct Church before Luther, whose communion was necessary to salvation; and what then?
A61627You know we dare not speak what we think of those times now; and is that fair to accuse when we dare not answer?
A61627You know well what belongs to a Puritan, do you not?
A61627You love alwayes to be rubbing upon old Sores; have you forgot the Act of Oblivion?
A61627and Sacrificing being the offer of a present in token of gratitude, doth that diminish or add to the Act of thanksgiving?
A61627and because the Church of Rome is not there charged with Idolatry, doth he not hence dispute ex professo, that it was against her sense?
A61627and did T. G. know it?
A61627and doth not this rather look like betraying the Church of England than defending it?
A61627and if it can, how can the notion of Body and Spirit be differenced from each other?
A61627and of the stop in nature?
A61627and so praying to Gods Ministers in Heaven is Idolatry; how then will praying to Saints escape?
A61627and that Clemens believed it at the same time, when he proves from hence that all men have the natural knowledge of God?
A61627and that the Homilies contained a wholesome and godly Doctrine, which in their consciences they believed to be false and pernicious?
A61627and that which the Scripture calls Idolatry?
A61627and to understand the way of fencing in the Schools as well as another?
A61627and to what end should he then leave out nam and Divinam, but that he thought them needless when the sense was expressed?
A61627and two and two not make actually four, supposing that they retain their intrinsick aptitude to do it?
A61627and where is there one word of Platonists or Philosophers in the whole sentence?)
A61627and whether Jupiter of Creet as worshipped by them was not a false God?
A61627and who ever said, that he was not a false God?
A61627and yet never designed to dispute ex professo, whether it were the sense of the Church of England or not?
A61627and your peculiar doctrines the only Christianity?
A61627are the Rules of the Church to be observed absolutely, whether against the Law of God or not?
A61627as if in the dark, a Child should ask blessing of one that is not his Father, would his Father have reason to be angry with him?
A61627at least as to the generality?
A61627but another?
A61627but what need you ask that, since you know it already?
A61627consider what he writes?
A61627did they take him for an uncreated creature?
A61627doth he pretend to answer, and pass by the plainest and strongest arguments, as if they had never been brought?
A61627doth it take away an Article of the Creed?
A61627doth this render him suspected for a Puritan at that time?
A61627for doth it not equally fall upon all external acts where the circumstances do determine them to be signs of Religious Worship?
A61627hath your Church the Power to repeal the Law of God?
A61627have you met with an ill bargain at the Auction?
A61627how else comes the giving absolute worship to be Idolatry, and not the giving relative?
A61627i. e. did they take the Emperours for supreme Deities?
A61627if as uncreated, how could they at the same time believe them to be created by him?
A61627if false, why is it not proved to be so?
A61627if not, to what purpose is this Testimony brought; unless it be as Countrey people say, for want of a better?
A61627if not, where lyes the force of the argument?
A61627if that be uncapable of a change, how can it be a true and proper Sacrifice?
A61627if they did; why doth he so vainly cavil, about some thing impertinent to the main business, in the very last of all?
A61627if true, why is it not allowed?
A61627in attributing that power to the Devil which they give to God?
A61627is it not of the Heathens he spake of before?
A61627is it not the substance of the bread?
A61627is there not all the reason in the world to explain the English Articles by the Latin, since we are sure they had not two meanings?
A61627no, that is intolerable; and how if they prove true?
A61627nor, whether Dr. St. dissented from the sense of his Church?
A61627of Dr. St.''s Ignorance, intolerable mistake, shameful errors, tergiversation, and what not?
A61627of Impanation?
A61627or all persons are bound to return to the Church of Rome?
A61627or do you think any that believed a God, gave him no inward worship, i. e. no Reverence or esteem suitable to his Excellency?
A61627or else from the circumstances which did make it appear that more than civil worship was required?
A61627or ever entred the lists, but on the account of obedience, or upon great provocation?
A61627or in giving divine worship to any men?
A61627or is this another piece of T. G.''s fineness?
A61627or that tended that way?
A61627or the Blood of Christ, which he being the Eternal Son of God did offer up to his Father, as a propitiation for the sins of Mankind?
A61627or was it fair to pretend to answer Dr. St.''s Book, wherein all these things are, and yet to pass them over, as if they had never been written?
A61627ought he not to examine and disprove them?
A61627p. 495 Whether the Church hath power to discriminate Acts of Worship?
A61627p. 499 How far circumstances discriminate Acts of Civil and Religious Worship?
A61627shall we not applaud him for a man of wonderful integrity, and most commendable ingenuity?
A61627sleeping?
A61627supposing the Christians looked on the Emperours as Gods Vicegerents, and the Images only as representing them?
A61627that it must now be quite abandoned, and no kind of Discharge be so much as offered to be made for it?
A61627that might prove them no Christians, but doth it prove them Idolaters?
A61627the Offering of God to God?
A61627the bit reserved to close up the stomach with?
A61627therefore leaving out Christ is Idolatry?
A61627was it absolute, or relative?
A61627was it not in the Author?
A61627was this man a secret Friend to the Church of Rome do you think?
A61627what comfort is there in bare Nonconformity?
A61627what did T. G. intend to prove by it?
A61627what evidence doth T. G. produce for this?
A61627what have we to do with Luther?
A61627when I only answer a Question you asked me?
A61627where is the change made, if not in the Body of Christ?
A61627whether the generality of the Heathens did not worship Deified men?
A61627whether you do not think that the Heathens, at least the generality of them did not acknowledge and worship more Gods than one?
A61627which all persons do who are not Atheists; And is this a thing to be exposed to scorn and derision?
A61627which he acknowledges to be made by him?
A61627who can stand before such demonstrations?
A61627who ever heard me, without having something to say against you?
A61627whoever said they could, or how doth that follow?
A61627why may not divisibility be separated from a line?
A61627why so sad?
