A65786 | Again, why will ours be false, and yours good? |
A65786 | Again, will you use any other form of Discourse then Sylogistical? |
A65786 | An equilateral Triangle? |
A65786 | And admit no other for proof? |
A65786 | And see you not now the figure of the Animal and its respectively homogeneous parts form''d? |

A65786 | Art, therefore, what is it, but a Rule which commonly fails not? |
A65786 | At length, therefore, he falls again into the old Error, enquiring how corporeal things can have any force upon a naked Spirit? |
A65786 | B. I demand, to what purpose serves this marking? |

A65786 | Can any man be born such a Bruit, as not to own that one thing is distinct from another? |
A65786 | Can these two stand together; it appears that none of those things proposed us are true; and at the same time, it appears that some of them are true? |

A65786 | Do they model their Books in Euclid''s Method? |
A65786 | Do they profess to Demonstrate? |
A65786 | Does the difficulty lie here, that this, by which t is distinguish''d should be called a Form? |
A65786 | Especially into certain hollow Vessels; if, by the beats of the boyling moisture, they be extended and thrust out in length? |
A65786 | First he asserts this Method is the Daughter of ignorance? |
A65786 | For he that asserts this does he not, at the same time, deny Bigness; and yet clearly he names an Aptitude to Bigness? |
A65786 | For, he asks farther, whence the Soul comes? |
A65786 | For, otherwise, how is it possible but opposition may be rais''d against this, out of things not- yet seen- through and conjoin''d with this Truth? |
A65786 | For, what''s more manifest than that Geometricians require a streight Line to be drawn from one point to another? |
A65786 | For, whence shall what you say derive any appearance? |
A65786 | For, who can doubt but that a Body, as Long, is terminated: and therefore can forbid an End or Term to be assign''d it? |
A65786 | For, who has sufficiently fifted this, who, or by whose judgment they are called wise, that have pronounced this of the Peripateticks? |

A65786 | Here now enquire whence Aristotle has got an Authority with the Vulgar? |
A65786 | How blindly does the Sceptick dispute these things? |
A65786 | How have you the confidence to attaque any one that''s truly a man? |
A65786 | If Aristotle has err''d in a very few things; why, yet, so much anger? |
A65786 | In fine, To what purpose do we amass Arguments against those, who, as far as in them lies, have put off Humane Nature, and made themselves Beasts? |
A65786 | Is it for any thing but to notifie the Longitude of the Body they measure? |
A65786 | Is it not just to press on you to prove first whatever you assume; and this without ever coming to an end? |
A65786 | Is not this hugely remarkable, or rather to be admir''d? |
A65786 | It ought, therefore, be objected, at the very begining, to such contemners of Sciences; what attempt you? |
A65786 | Let''s consider what part of our Action or Life is exempt from their service: what Arts go to the providing us Food, Cloaths, Houses, Delights? |
A65786 | May not I say of two brazen Statues, that they agree in Brass, and are distinguisht by their Figures? |
A65786 | NOw we must give ear to the Complaints,( shall I call them?) |
A65786 | Next, he calls it the Inmate of untam''d affections: upon what title? |
A65786 | Nor can I deny that these are neglected in the Schools: but, what''s guilty on''t, but the Scepticism that reigns there? |
A65786 | Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes? |
A65786 | That a Circle be made? |
A65786 | That they demand a Line to be drawn out in infinitum? |
A65786 | That they dispute, whole Volumes full, conconcerning Lines and Superficies? |
A65786 | They that have not the confidence to deny these, why are they loath to allow the same may happen in the wide passages of the Brain? |
A65786 | To conclude, What is there that falls under mans use, wherein some kind of Art is not exercised? |
A65786 | What blind Tiresias could not as truly give verdict of Colours, perhaps''t is white, perhaps not? |
A65786 | What could be look''d for more silly from Midas''s ears? |
A65786 | What if I should say, that it never fails? |
A65786 | What need I mention Humane Conversation, but especially Negotiation? |
A65786 | What says the Sceptick? |
A65786 | What wonder now is it, if that ingenious Person derided such solemn trifles? |
A65786 | What''s your meaning? |
A65786 | When, therefore, he asks, Whence comes the Soul? |
A65786 | Whether there be at all any certainty attainable, at least of one Proposition or one Reasonment, which we call a Sylogism? |
A65786 | Which of the Moderns has more happily unbowel''d Nature than Digby, who at every turn is mindful of Aristotle, and candidly accepts his Dictates? |
A65786 | Who is so ignorant, that he knows not that bigger things, at the same distance, strike the eye in a more obtuse Angle and stronglier? |
A65786 | Who knows not that Figure, if plain, as objected to the eye, is nothing else but Quantity more spacious or contracted this or that way? |
A65786 | Will you tell us how it ought to be, to be good, you I say that grant none to be evident?'' |
A65786 | and how t is united to the Body? |
A65786 | for, how, whilst, in common, it most clearly appears to thee that nothing is true; yet assertest thou, in particular, that this appears to thee true? |
A65786 | for, if there can be nothing certain in Humane matters, why do we instruct Infants and Boys? |
A65786 | it must be answered with a question, Whether he doubts whence the man comes? |
A65786 | or, if it be distinct, can he assert t is distinguish''d by nothing? |
A65786 | shall we not allow Philosophy its growing time? |
A65786 | what a strange unreasonableness is this, not to let me call that a Form, which I see distinguish one from the other? |
A65786 | what''s your aim? |
A65786 | who would have look''d for this brand from a Sceptick? |
A65786 | why strive we to perswade Youth into those things which seem True to us? |
A65786 | you that profess your selves to know nothing, do you object ignorance to others? |
A65786 | — You that profess you know not whether there be any or no; how rashly do you affirm it to dwell alwayes with untam''d affections? |

A01894 | Is thy case, the case of the figtree onely, which before we mentioned, that when God cryed, Cut it downe, another cryed, spare it? |
A01894 | NOw the use of all that hath been spoken, what is it, but to move all those that have knowledge, to take heed, more heed of sinning than other men? |
A01894 | Oh death, where is thy sting? |
A01894 | Or despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
A01894 | Or hast thou credit( which is better than riches? |
A01894 | Otherwise, how many wayes, ere this, hadst thou been snatcht away out of the land of the living? |
A01894 | Shall I speak the least evill I can say of it? |
A01894 | Sixtly, But further, in the 6. place; Is this all? |
A01894 | So hadst thou sinned against any other attribute, Mercy might have pleaded for thee; but if against Mercy it selfe, who shall? |
A01894 | So say I to you, for which of all his mercies is it, ye sinne against him? |
A01894 | So say I, Hath God any more such sonnes? |
A01894 | The same Law was out against us, which was out against the Angels; That day thou eatest, thou shalt dye the death: what put the difference? |
A01894 | Thinkes he, Shall I live in that for which Christ died? |
A01894 | Thirdly, being a man, hast thou all thy members that belong unto a man? |
A01894 | To begin at the very beginning of thy being: how much riches of goodnesse were there laid and buried in thy foundation? |
A01894 | To conclude, hast thou comfort in all these? |
A01894 | Was that then which is good made death unto mee? |
A01894 | What iniquity did you ever finde in him, thus to deale? |
A01894 | What, art thou evill, because God is good? |
A01894 | When a mans sins may be said to be his own? |
A01894 | Wherein? |
A01894 | Why? |
A01894 | Why? |
A01894 | Yea, doe thy cloathes keepe thee warme? |
A01894 | [ Shall we goe on to sinne against this good, so good? |
A01894 | and despise that in him most, which seekes to save thee? |
A01894 | and goe on to wound him, who weepeth overthee? |
A01894 | and hast not thou spent all this time in making up the measure of thine iniquity full? |
A01894 | and hath it beene will ingnesse onely in God that thou shouldest not perish? |
A01894 | and load him with sins? |
A01894 | and that when salvation was looked for, that yet it was so far off from them, in their apprehensions? |
A01894 | and then how could it have addition to it, one sin being more sinfull than another? |
A01894 | and those of them that remaine in their naturall estate, to turne speedily and effectually unto God? |
A01894 | and to allude to us, as Naomi said to Ruth, Is there yet any more sonnes in my wombe, that they may be your husbands? |
A01894 | and with how many comforts? |
A01894 | did God send in the remembrance of such a mercie past, to perswade thee; or some mercies to come, which thou dependest upon him for? |
A01894 | did any Scripture come in to testifie against thee in the nick? |
A01894 | did he that never knew sinne, undergoe the torment for it, and shall I be so unkinde as to enjoy the pleasure of it? |
A01894 | doe we yet look for another Christ? |
A01894 | for hast thou not used all these, as weapons of unrighteousnesse? |
A01894 | hath it beene barely a time of ease given thee, a time of reprivall? |
A01894 | how much of these his riches have been laden in it? |
A01894 | how nigh to repentance hath it brought thee? |
A01894 | how often came that in, Shall I doe this, and sinne against God? |
A01894 | is it not his knowledge? |
A01894 | of thee, what a curious workmanship is it? |
A01894 | oh grave, where is thy victory? |
A01894 | or are we afraid of being happy too soon, in being married to him? |
A01894 | or is not this Christ good enough? |
A01894 | returne evill for good?] |
A01894 | shall I give my first borne for my transgression? |
A01894 | shall that be my life, which was his death? |
A01894 | so are his mercies called: canst hit him no where else but there? |
A01894 | to betray all he gives you into the devills, his enemies hands? |
A01894 | what is it thou wilt then come to plead and cry for? |
A01894 | what is the whole world then? |
A01894 | what, to fight against him with his owne weapons? |
A59247 | Again, Let us ask what Colour or Figure it is of? |
A59247 | Again, since the Bodies are put to cause them, how can we think they are nothing like them? |
A59247 | And I did really intend that Sceptical Men should ask, — Quid profert dignum tanto promissor hiatu? |
A59247 | And is not this enough? |
A59247 | And this gives an Entire Satisfaction to every Man who is capable of Knowing Common Morality,( as, who is not?) |
A59247 | And, Who sees not, that, from this Proposition, Every Man is Rational, it follows, that Peter, John, and each particular Man, is Rational? |
A59247 | And, whence must we take those Differences? |
A59247 | Are they Corporeal, or are they Spiritual, or under what Head shall we rank them? |
A59247 | BUT how can the Things be in our Understanding? |
A59247 | Besides, what should the Soul do with two Material Comparts; one, Organical; the other, Inorganical? |
A59247 | But what needs more than meerly his ascribing Materiality to it, at least, permitting it to belong to it? |
A59247 | But, if no Evidence can be had, what Necessity is there at all of Judging one way or other? |
A59247 | But, should any Sceptick ask why the Idea of Yellow is the Idea of Yellow? |
A59247 | But, suppose this so; why must General Maxims be held Dangerous and Faulty, when the Fault Confessedly lies in other Things? |
A59247 | But, what Good can this do to any, but to such as have renounc''d Common Sense, even to Ridiculousness? |
A59247 | But; what needs any more, since Mr. Locke has already Confuted that Position beyond possibility of any Rational Reply? |
A59247 | Can any Man think that Art and Reflexion do add no Advantage to Untaught Nature? |
A59247 | Can not we suspend our Judgment till Evidence appears; or whether it does ever appear, or not? |
A59247 | Can the Memory be said to Retain what is not? |
A59247 | Does the Mind see the Thing without, by sending out her Rayes of Knowledge to it? |
A59247 | First, If it were the same in Sense, where''s the Harm? |
A59247 | For( to wave my former Proofs) I ask him whence he had first the Notion or Idea of Space? |
A59247 | For, First, What other Reason had they from Nature to put such a Power in the Soul? |
A59247 | For, what are Names, but the Words which signifie those Ideas? |
A59247 | From other Common Heads? |
A59247 | He ask''d, Why? |
A59247 | He is too acute to hold Innate Ideas: It was Acquir''d then, or wrought in him; And by what, but by the Thing, that is, by the Body? |
A59247 | How many are there in the world who are reputed for Learned men, and yet have no Principles which are not taken from Fancy? |
A59247 | How many ways does he distort, wind, turn, poize, stretch, and ply the parts of his Body? |
A59247 | I answer; What have we to do with Ideas when we Predicate? |
A59247 | I ask, Is the Idea of Extension, as to its Representation, in all Respects like that Mode as it is in the Thing; or is it not? |
A59247 | I ask, whether, by his Thought, he means his Judgment? |
A59247 | I grant, that whole Complexion is not knowable by us in this State: But, why have not we as much Knowledge of them as is necessary for us? |
A59247 | I infer; therefore without it, we should not have had so Clear a Knowledge of the Proof, nor consequently of the Conclusion; and is this nothing? |
A59247 | If in it, the old Question returns, How got they thither? |
A59247 | If out of it, How could the Soul''s Acts of Understanding, which are Immanent Acts, become Transitive, and affect a Thing which is without her? |
A59247 | If then we have an Idea or Likeness of Universality, or Generality, What is it like? |
A59247 | If this be true, why are they call''d[ Ideas,] which either signifies Resemblances, or Nothing? |
A59247 | In Answer; First, I ask how he knows God would keep the next Bodies, in that Case, from Closing? |
A59247 | In like manner, should he ask why a Man is a Man? |
A59247 | In order to which I ask the Ideists, Whether the Modes or Accidents are Distinct Entities from the Substance or Thing? |
A59247 | Is Reviving the Notion of Retaining, they being rather of a Contrary Sense to one another? |
A59247 | Is it Blew, Green, or Yellow? |
A59247 | Is it Rare or Dense, Hot, Cold, Moist, or Dry? |
A59247 | Is it Round, Four- square, or Triangular? |
A59247 | Is it a Yard in Length, or but an Inch? |
A59247 | Is it as Thick as a Wall, or as Thin as a Wafer? |
A59247 | Is it as little as a Barly- corn, or as big as a House? |
A59247 | Lastly, Are those Species they put, when purify''d, perfectly like the Thing, or imperfectly? |
A59247 | Lastly, What means his making it then to be Judgment, when we have no Demonstrative Evidence? |
A59247 | Lastly, What means this Power in the Mind to revive Perceptions? |
A59247 | Lastly, What needs this Circumlocution? |
A59247 | May we not as well say we may see Light, and yet have no Notion of it? |
A59247 | May we not judge a Conclusion that is Demonstrated to be True, because it is Demonstrated? |
A59247 | Must they hover still in these few common Heads of Notions? |
A59247 | Neither can this be said, for the Mind could see or know the Thing it self were it in it, else how could it know the Ideas? |
A59247 | Next, how can we know that those Ideas move regularly, and not rather very differently, in diverse Men? |
A59247 | Next, how does it follow, that, because we can not explicate it, we do not know it? |
A59247 | Now, if this be so, why can not they satisfie and instruct Rational Men, and conduce to quiet and fix their Judgment, as well as to Nonplus Wranglers? |
A59247 | Now, things standing thus, who can think Logick, or Syllogism( the main End of it,) are to be slighted as of little or no use? |
A59247 | Now, what sense can we make of an Idea of an Idea, or what means a Similitude of a Similitude, or an Image of an Image? |
A59247 | Now, who can think, that meerly to be at Ease, is this Greatest Good; or the Motive, Object, End, or Determiner of the Will? |
A59247 | On the other side; How facil and natural is my Way of our gaining an Idea or Notion of Infinite? |
A59247 | Or can Remembring be conceived to be the same Notion with Reproduction? |
A59247 | Or can there be a Repository of Nothing? |
A59247 | Or rather if so many, why no more? |
A59247 | Or that an Identical Proposition is True, because''t is Self- evident? |
A59247 | Or that no Intrinsecal Predicate instructs, but only what is Extrinsecal to any Nature? |
A59247 | Or what means it to say, he intends[ Man] by those many Words, and yet would not have it thought so? |
A59247 | Or what other thing was it good for, but to purifie the Species? |
A59247 | Or who bids us Judge at all till we see a good( or Conclusive) Reason why? |
A59247 | Or, if they be not signify''d by the Word[ Man,] how is the Proposition True? |
A59247 | Or, that, when they strike the Eye, they stop there, and are not carry''d into the Brain? |
A59247 | Otherwise, why could not these do it as well as General Maxims? |
A59247 | Secondly, Were those Phantasms, before they were Spiritualiz''d, in the Soul, or Intellectus, or out of it? |
A59247 | So, Mr. Locke asks, If God should place a Man at the Extremity of Corporeal Beings, whether he could not stretch out his Hand beyond his Body? |
A59247 | That, to Unman our selves, so as to seem Crack''d- Brain''d, or Drunk, is the Way to become Soberly Rational? |
A59247 | The Proper Opposite to Probable, is Improbable; and, what has Improbable to do with Absolute? |
A59247 | The Question then is, What is the Proper Subject of Light? |
A59247 | This perform''d, what are they to do next? |
A59247 | Upon my Delay, they call''d me again, and ask''d, Why I came not, having promis''d it? |
A59247 | What Feats of Activity does a Rope- dancer show us? |
A59247 | Where then shall we fix the Bounds, or whence take any Certain Measures of Greater and Lesser Probabilities? |
A59247 | Whether it be not probable, that Thinking is the Action, and not the Essence of the Soul? |
A59247 | Why are we in such hast to hazard falling into Error? |
A59247 | Without which, what do we know? |
A59247 | a Cloth, Board, or Paper, thus figured and colour''d? |
A59247 | how few Men are there, who will profess to Demonstrate in Philosophy, or to reduce their Discourses to Evidence? |
A61523 | ( What not if there be an Idea of Identity as to the Body?) |
A61523 | And can you then imagine that we have Intuition into the Idea of Matter? |
A61523 | And could you not in the Way of Ideas distinguish them from those of your Acquaintance who had the same Names? |
A61523 | And do you think that Peter, and Iames, and Iohn signifie any thing by Nature? |
A61523 | And if this be so hard to be understood, why was it not answered here in the proper place for it? |
A61523 | And is it possible to imagine, that there should be a Self- evident Connexion of Ideas in this Case? |
A61523 | And is this a Self- evident Idea of Light? |
A61523 | And is this all indeed? |
A61523 | And is this all that you intend, only to complain of them for making you a Party in the Controversie against the Trinity? |
A61523 | And is this no more than to say, the Vnderstanding is imployed about Ideas? |
A61523 | And is this unintelligible too? |
A61523 | And the Question between us now is, Whether your Certainty of this Matter from your Idea have no influence on the Belief of this Article of Faith? |
A61523 | And the Question is, which of these two you meant by those Words Nature and Person? |
A61523 | And was this truly all that you meant by it? |
A61523 | And what Answer do you give to this plain Reason? |
A61523 | And what Answer do you give to this? |
A61523 | And what Reply is made to this? |
A61523 | And what Sense would this Gentleman make of the Apostle''s words, who can not for his Life understand that Nature is the same with Substance? |
A61523 | And what a fine pass are we come to in the Way of Ideas, if a meer Arbitrary Idea must be taken into the only true Method of Certainty? |
A61523 | And what is there so evident as Motion? |
A61523 | And what must a Man do, who is to answer to all such Objections about the Use of Particles? |
A61523 | And what then? |
A61523 | And whoever desired you should? |
A61523 | And why do you not return an Answer to them? |
A61523 | And yet how often do you confess, that our Ideas are imperfect, confused, and obscure? |
A61523 | Are not all Words made significative by Imposition? |
A61523 | Are those Names arbitrary, or are they founded on real and distinct Properties? |
A61523 | Are you to submit to the Revelation or not? |
A61523 | At what? |
A61523 | But I was aware of this, as appears by these Words; Is Faith an unreasonable Act? |
A61523 | But again say you, Let it be impossible to give that Name to a Horse( who ever said or thought so?) |
A61523 | But are three Atoms as much three Persons as three Men? |
A61523 | But did not his Notion of Nature imply that it was a Principle of Motion in it self? |
A61523 | But for what cause do you continue so unsatisfied? |
A61523 | But how comes the Certainty of Faith to become so hard a Point with you? |
A61523 | But how comes the Resistance of solid Bodies to come only from Rest? |
A61523 | But how comes there to be such a Way of Certainty by Ideas, and yet the Ideas themselves are so uncertain and obscure? |
A61523 | But how doth it appear that this middle Idea is Self- evidently connected with them? |
A61523 | But how? |
A61523 | But if, you say, by an unintelligible new Way of Construction the word Them be applied to any Passages in your Book: What then? |
A61523 | But is it possible to suppose, that a rational Man should talk of Certainty by Ideas, and not be able to fix the Idea of a Man? |
A61523 | But is not this all one as to talk of the Knowledge of Believing? |
A61523 | But is there no difference in the signification of Words as they stand for signs of Things? |
A61523 | But now, what if your Grounds of Certainty can give us no Assurance as to these things? |
A61523 | But some Man will say, How are the Dead raised up, and with what Body do they come? |
A61523 | But suppose they are not clear and distinct? |
A61523 | But suppose you have Ideas sufficient for Certainty in your Way, but not clear and distinct; what is to be done then? |
A61523 | But the Notion of Ideas as you have stated it, relates to your whole Book: Why should you carry it farther than I intended it? |
A61523 | But the Question is, whether these be meer Words and Names, or not? |
A61523 | But then we must consider, who hath the better Reason? |
A61523 | But what Reason have you to express so much dissatisfaction at these Words? |
A61523 | But what Rule then have you when, and where, and how far, you are to correct the erroneous Ideas of Imagination? |
A61523 | But what hath Reason now to do in this Way of Intuition? |
A61523 | But what is that to the Point in Dispute, whether the Notion of Nature be to be taken from Ideas or from Reason? |
A61523 | But what is to be said when the Ideas are not clear and distinct? |
A61523 | But what said you in your first Letter in Answer to it? |
A61523 | But where is the clear and distinct Idea of a Man all this while? |
A61523 | But whether we can not consider two several Individuals of Mankind without particular Regard to Place? |
A61523 | But why, in a Chapter of Reason, are the other two Senses neglected? |
A61523 | But you say, How shall the mind, when it perceives nothing but its own Ideas, know that they agree with Things themselves? |
A61523 | But you say, the Notionists and Ideists,( as they are called) seem to have their apprehensive Faculties very differently turned? |
A61523 | Can Certainty be had with imperfect and obscure Ideas, and yet no Certainty be had by them? |
A61523 | Can a different Substance be said to be in the Graves and to come out of them? |
A61523 | Can any thing be more evident? |
A61523 | Can not you, for your Life, know the Difference between a Man and a Horse, by their Essential Properties, whatever their Names be? |
A61523 | Can such a Material Substance which was never united to the Body be said to be sown in Corruption, and Weakness, and Dishonour? |
A61523 | Can these words be understood of any other Material Substance, but that Body in which these things were done? |
A61523 | Can we then by these Ideas know the Nature of things without us? |
A61523 | Can you believe that to be true, which you are certain is not true? |
A61523 | Can you possibly think this was my Meaning? |
A61523 | Can you think me a Man of so little Sense to make that the Reason of it? |
A61523 | Could any Man judge otherwise, but that you had a very obscure Idea of Reason, who could mistake the Vnderstanding for it? |
A61523 | Demonstrations on both sides, and in the Way of Ideas too? |
A61523 | Did I ever say that it would? |
A61523 | Did not this look more like a good Opinion of you as to these matters, than any Inclination to suspect you for a Heathen? |
A61523 | Do you mean that they have the same common Essence, or have only the same common Name? |
A61523 | Doth not any Man of Common Sense see, that I oppose this to Aristotle''s Sense of Nature for a Corporeal Substance? |
A61523 | Doth this relate to any other Substance than that which was united to the Soul in Life? |
A61523 | For it is a very wonderfull thing in point of Reason, for you to pretend to Certainty by Ideas, and not allow those Ideas to be clear and distinct? |
A61523 | For what Reason? |
A61523 | For what doth all this relate to a Conscious Principle? |
A61523 | From whence comes Self- consciousness in different times and places to make up this Idea of a Person? |
A61523 | Hath the common use of our Language appropriated it to this Sense? |
A61523 | He can not for his Life understand Nature to be Substance and Substance to be Nature? |
A61523 | How can nothing be extended? |
A61523 | How can the Certainty by these Ideas reach the things themselves, if they are Archetypes of the Mind, not referr''d to the Existence of any thing? |
A61523 | How can these things consist? |
A61523 | How comes Person to stand for this and nothing else? |
A61523 | How could it be said, if any other Substance be joyned to the Soul at the Resurrection, as its Body, that they were the things done in or by the Body? |
A61523 | How is it possible for us to have a clear Perception of the Agreement of Ideas, if the Ideas themselves be not clear and distinct? |
A61523 | How is this possible? |
A61523 | How like a cavilling Exception is this? |
A61523 | How then can we arrive to any Certainty in perceiving those Objects by their Ideas? |
A61523 | How then comes the Certainty of Faith to be preserved firm and immoveable, although the Grounds of Certainty be disputed? |
A61523 | How then is it possible to attain to any Certainty by them? |
A61523 | I had thought by the Design of your Book you would have sent him to his Ideas for Certainty; and are we sent back again from our Ideas to our Senses? |
A61523 | I pray therefore tell me from your Idea, what it is, and wherein it consists? |
A61523 | If it be asked you, whether Men and Drills be of the same Kind or not? |
A61523 | If there be then but one Person and two Natures, how can you possibly reconcile this to your Way of Ideas? |
A61523 | In this Reasoning in the Way of Ideas? |
A61523 | Is it by Intuition or Self- evidence? |
A61523 | Is it by bare Rest of the Parts? |
A61523 | Is it by the Density or Compactedness of the Matter in a little Compass? |
A61523 | Is it from the Pressure of the Ambient Air? |
A61523 | Is it not an Assent to a Proposition? |
A61523 | Is it not material, as you say, whether the present Self be made up of the same or other Substances? |
A61523 | Is it not the same Nature considered as common to all Individuals, distinct from that Nature as in Peter? |
A61523 | Is not that Nature really in all those who have the same Essential Properties? |
A61523 | Is not this a rare way of Certainty? |
A61523 | Is that Reason built only on some intermediate Idea, which makes it clear? |
A61523 | Is the Repugnancy, in the Words, or in the Sense? |
A61523 | Is there any thing so extravagant as the Imagination of Men''s Brains? |
A61523 | Is this to be understood any better? |
A61523 | It is plain that I meant it of a Particular Subsistence; and if you can not for your Life understand such easie things, how can I for my Life help it? |
A61523 | Know, saith the Country- man, I hope you are wiser than to ask me such a Question? |
A61523 | Knowledge, say you, is only the Perception of the Agreement or Disagreement of our own Ideas, but who knows what those Ideas may be? |
A61523 | Now I pray consider, whether this doth not a little affect the whole Article of the Resurrection? |
A61523 | Now here lies the main Difficulty, whether without the help of these Principles you can prove to any that doubt, that they are Men? |
A61523 | Now what is there in the Original of the word Certainty which makes it uncapable of being applied to Faith? |
A61523 | Now, what Criterion is there to come to any Certainty in this Matter? |
A61523 | Of what Rules have you to judge, how far Imagination is to be allowed in the Matter of Ideas? |
A61523 | Of what we feel? |
A61523 | Of what? |
A61523 | One appeals to Thoughts, and the other to Reason: Had Des Cartes no Thoughts? |
A61523 | Or in any Way? |
A61523 | Or that it is possible to come to a Demonstration about it by the help of any intervening Idea? |
A61523 | Or whether there be not a real Foundation in things for such a Distinction between Nature and Person? |
A61523 | Say you so? |
A61523 | So that if our Ideas fail us in so plain a Case, what help can we hope from them in things more abstruse and remote from our Senses? |
A61523 | Suppose it be that there are two Natures in one Person; the Question is, Whether you can Assent to this as a Matter of Faith? |
A61523 | That is not the Point, but whether yours be any at all? |
A61523 | There indeed lies the Difficulty, but how do you remove it? |
A61523 | Therefore three Animals are three distinct Persons, as well as three Men? |
A61523 | Therefore we can not distinguish three Humane Persons that way? |
A61523 | To what purpose is all this stir? |
A61523 | To whom? |
A61523 | Were they Witnesses only of some material Substance then united to his Soul? |
A61523 | What Difficulty? |
A61523 | What He was this? |
A61523 | What can be more express? |
A61523 | What can other Men hope for in this Way of Ideas, if such Men can agree no better in one of the most evident to our Senses? |
A61523 | What do these Ideas signifie then? |
A61523 | What follows? |
A61523 | What in the Way to Certainty still? |
A61523 | What is here being above Reason? |
A61523 | What is meant by these Archetypes in the Mind which can not deceive us? |
A61523 | What is the meaning of all that are in their Graves? |
A61523 | What is this but to make clear Ideas necessary to Certainty? |
A61523 | What is to be done in a Matter of Revelation contrary to your Ideas? |
A61523 | Whence then comes the distinction between these Ideas of solid and fluid Matter? |
A61523 | Where are we now? |
A61523 | Where is the Head that hath no Chimaera''s in it? |
A61523 | Where lies the Difficulty? |
A61523 | Where lies the monstrous Difficulty of it? |
A61523 | Whether by this Idea of Solidity we may come to know what it is? |
A61523 | Whether it be true or false, I am not now to enquire, but how it comes into this Idea of a Person? |
A61523 | Whether the Idea of Space imply something or nothing? |
A61523 | Whether upon our observing the Difference of Features, Distance of Place,& c. or on some antecedent Ground? |
A61523 | Whoever imagined that Words signifie any otherwise than by Imposition? |
A61523 | You allow such a thing as Assurance of Faith; and why not Certainty as well as Assurance? |
A61523 | You tell me, my Quarrel must be with the Term Ideas as of dangerous Consequence: But why so? |
A61523 | is not that a Real Nature that is the Subject of Real Properties? |
A61523 | non peccabis; saith Seneca: and in another place, Quid aliud est Natura, quam Deus& divina Ratio? |
A61523 | now here lies a very considerable Difficulty, how far Reason is to judge of these Ideas or Imagination? |
A48874 | ( for of those,''t is obvious to enquire?) |
A48874 | 1. c. 3. with a Man''s Head, and Hog''s Body? |
A48874 | And are there not Places, where at a certain Age, they kill, or expose their Parents without any remorse at all? |
A48874 | And are they those, that are the first in Children, and antecedent to all acquired ones? |
A48874 | And if they are Notions imprinted, How can they be unknown? |
A48874 | And if they were asked what Passage was, How would they better define it than by Motion? |
A48874 | And shall not the want of Reason and Speech, be a sign to us of different real Constitutions and Species, between a Changeling, and a reasonable Man? |
A48874 | And the like, I say, concerning Thinking, and voluntary Motion: Do we not every moment experiment it in our selves; and therefore can it be doubted? |
A48874 | And to what purpose make them general, unless it were, that they might have general Names, for the convenience of Discourse, and Communication? |
A48874 | And were not he that propos''d it, bound to make out the Truth and Reasonableness of it to him? |
A48874 | And what can hinder him from thinking them sacred, when he finds them the earliest of all his own Thoughts, and the most reverenced by others? |
A48874 | And what doubt can there be made of it? |
A48874 | And what is the Will, but the Faculty to do this? |
A48874 | And when we find it there, How much more does it resemble the Opinion, and Notion, of the Teacher, than represent the True God? |
A48874 | And whether one of them might not be very happy, and the other very miserable? |
A48874 | Are the Operations of the Mind about its other Ideas? |
A48874 | Are they such as all Mankind have, and bring into the World with them? |
A48874 | Because you can not conceive how it can be made out of nothing, why do you not also think your self eternal? |
A48874 | But alas, amongst Children, Ideots, Savages, and the grosly illiterate, what general Maxims are to be found? |
A48874 | But can any one think, or will any one say, that Impossibility and Identity, are two innate Idea''s? |
A48874 | But how late is it before any such notion is discoverable in Children? |
A48874 | But my Question is, Whether one can not have the Idea of one Body moved, whilst others are at rest? |
A48874 | But of what use is all such Truth to us? |
A48874 | But of what use is all this fine Knowledge of Men''s own Imaginations, to a Man that enquires after the reality of Things? |
A48874 | But then to what end such contest for certain innate Maxims? |
A48874 | But what shall be here the Criterion? |
A48874 | But who can help it, if Truth will have it so? |
A48874 | But will any one say, That those that live by Fraud and Rapine, have innate Principles of Truth and Justice, which they allow and assent to? |
A48874 | But you will say, Is it not impossible to admit of the making any thing out of nothing, since we can not possibly conceive it? |
A48874 | But, perhaps, it will be said without a regular Motion, such as of the Sun, or some other, how could it ever be known that such Periods were equal? |
A48874 | Can another man perceive, that I am conscious of any thing, when I perceive it not my self? |
A48874 | Can the Soul think, and not the Man? |
A48874 | Do we not see, will they be ready to say, the parts of Bodies stick firmly together? |
A48874 | First, I would ask them, Whether they imagine, that all Matter, every particle of Matter, thinks? |
A48874 | For by what Right is it, that Fusibility comes to be a part of the Essence, signified by the Word Gold, and Solubility but a property of it? |
A48874 | For example: My right Hand writes, whilst my left Hand is still: What causes rest in one, and motion in the other? |
A48874 | For how can we think any one freer than to have the power to do what he will? |
A48874 | For if the Terms of one Definition, were still to be defined by another, Where at last should we stop? |
A48874 | For if they are not Notions naturally imprinted, How can they be innate? |
A48874 | For our Ideas of Extension, Duration, and Number, do they not all contain in them a secret relation of the Parts? |
A48874 | For though it may reasonably be asked, Whether obeying the Magnet, be essential to Iron? |
A48874 | For to go no farther than the grossest and most obvious we can imagine amongst them, What is that Texture of Parts? |
A48874 | For to what purpose should the Memory charge it self with such Compositions, unless it were by Abstraction to make them general? |
A48874 | For what is Passage other than Motion? |
A48874 | For what is sufficient in the inward Contrivance, to make a new Species? |
A48874 | For when we know that White is not Black, what do we else but perceive, that these two Ideas do not agree? |
A48874 | For who is it that sees not, that Powers belong only to Agents, and are Attributes only of Substances, and not of Powers themselves? |
A48874 | For who will undertake to find a difference between the white of this Paper, and that of the next degree to it? |
A48874 | Had the upper part, to the middle, been of humane shape, and all below Swine; Had it been Murther to destroy it? |
A48874 | Hath a Child an Idea of Impossibility and Identity, before it has of White or Black; Sweet or Bitter? |
A48874 | Have the Bulk of Mankind no other Guide, but Accident, and blind Chance, to conduct them to their Happiness, or Misery? |
A48874 | He that uses Words, without any clear and steady meaning, What does he but lead himself and others into Errours? |
A48874 | Here every body will be ready to ask, if Changelings may be supposed something between Man and Beast;''Pray what are they? |
A48874 | How comes any particular Thing to be of this or that Sort, but because it has that nominal Essence? |
A48874 | How frequently do we, in a day, cover our Eyes with our Eye- lids, without perceiving that we are at all in the dark? |
A48874 | How many Men have no other ground for their Tenets, than the supposed Honesty, or Learning, or Number of those of the same Profession? |
A48874 | How shall the Mind, when it perceives nothing but its own Ideas, know that they agree with Things themselves? |
A48874 | How uncertain, and imperfect, would our Ideas be of an Elypsis, if we had no other Idea of it, but some few of its Properties? |
A48874 | I ask those who say they have a positive Idea of Eternity, whether their Idea of Duration includes in it Succession, or not? |
A48874 | I ask, whether the complex Idea in Adam''s Mind, which he call''d Kinneah, were adequate, or no? |
A48874 | I do not ask, Whether Bodies do so exist, that the motion of one Body can not really be without the motion of another? |
A48874 | I think, I reason, I feel Pleasure and Pain; Can any of these be more evident to me, than my own Existence? |
A48874 | If Men should do so in their Reckonings, I wonder who would have to do with them? |
A48874 | If any one ask me, What this Space, I speak of, is? |
A48874 | If it shall be demanded then, When a Man begins to have any Ideas? |
A48874 | If not, What Reason will there be shewed more for the one than the other? |
A48874 | If our Sense of Hearing were but 1000 times quicker than it is, how would a perpetual noise distract us? |
A48874 | If they say, That a man is always conscious to himself of thinking; I ask, How they know it? |
A48874 | Is it in his choice, whether he will, or will not be better pleased with one thing than another? |
A48874 | Is it possible to conceive it can add Motion to it self, being purely Matter, or produce any thing? |
A48874 | Is it true of the Idea of a Triangle, that its three Angles are equal to two right ones? |
A48874 | Is it worth the Name of Freedom to be at liberty to play the Fool, and draw Shame and Misery upon a Man''s self? |
A48874 | Is not now Ductility to be added to his former Idea, and the Essence of the Species that Name Zahab stands for? |
A48874 | Is then a Man indifferent to be pleased, or not pleased, more with one thing than another? |
A48874 | Is there any thing more common? |
A48874 | Is there any thing so extravagant, as the Imaginations of Men''s Brains? |
A48874 | Knowledge, say you, is only the perception of the agreement or disagreement of our own Ideas; but who knows what those Ideas may be? |
A48874 | Let them be so; What will your drivling, unintelligent, intractable Changeling be? |
A48874 | Let us then suppose the Mind to be, as we say, white Paper, void of all Characters, without any Ideas; How comes it to be furnished? |
A48874 | Matter must be allow''d eternal: Why? |
A48874 | Nay, Whether the Cock too, which had the same Soul, were not the same with both of them? |
A48874 | Ninthly, How knows any one that the Soul always thinks? |
A48874 | Number, whose stock is inexhaustible, and truly infinite ● And what a large and immense field, doth Excursion alone afford the Mathematicians? |
A48874 | Or a Man think, and not be conscious of it? |
A48874 | Or are there two different Idea''s of Identity, both innate? |
A48874 | Or can form distinct Ideas of every the least excess in Extension? |
A48874 | Or can those be the certain and infallible Oracles and Standards of Truth, which teach one Thing in Christendom, and another in Turkey? |
A48874 | Or does the Mind regulate it self, and its assent by Idea''s, that it never yet had? |
A48874 | Or is it true, because any one has been Witness to such an Action? |
A48874 | Or must the Bishop have been consulted, whether it were Man enough to be admitted to the Font, or no? |
A48874 | Or rather, would he not have reason to think, that my design was to make sport with him, rather than seriously to instruct him? |
A48874 | Or that at least, if this will happen, it should not be thought Learning or Knowledge to do so? |
A48874 | Or that the Child has any Notion or Apprehension of that Proposition at an Age, wherein yet''t is plain, it knows a great many other Truths? |
A48874 | Or the Understanding draw Conclusions from Principles, which it never yet knew or understood? |
A48874 | Or who shall be the Judge to determine? |
A48874 | Or why is its Colour part of the Essence, and its Malleableness but a property? |
A48874 | Or, doth the proposing them, print them clearer in the Mind than Nature did? |
A48874 | Or, where is that universal Consent, that assures us there are such inbred Rules? |
A48874 | Or, which is all one, agrees to that abstract Idea that Name is annexed to? |
A48874 | Secondly, If all Matter do not think, I next ask, Whether it be only one Atom that does so? |
A48874 | Shall a defect in the Body make a Monster; a defect in the Mind,( the far more Noble, and, in the common phrase, the far more Essential part, not? |
A48874 | Shall the want of a Nose, or a Neck, make a Monster, and put such Issue out of the rank of Men; the want of Reason and Understanding,) not? |
A48874 | That imagine themselves to have judged right, only because they never questioned, never examined their own Opinions? |
A48874 | That real Essence, that makes Lead, and Antimony susible; Wood, and Stones not? |
A48874 | The Atomists, who define Motion to be a passage from one place to another, What do they more than put one synonymous Word for another? |
A48874 | The Question then is, Which of these are real, and which barely imaginary Combinations: what Collections agree to the reality of Things, and what not? |
A48874 | The Whole is equal to all its Parts, What real Truth I beseech you does it teach us? |
A48874 | There are some Watches, that are made with four Wheels, others with five: Is this a specifick difference to the Workman? |
A48874 | To know whether his Idea of Adultery, or Incest, be right, will a Man seek it any where amongst Things existing? |
A48874 | To this, perhaps, will be said, Has not an Opall, or the infusion of Lignum Nepbriticum, two Colours at the same time? |
A48874 | Upon which his Friend demanding, what Scarlet was? |
A48874 | Well, but what is this Preferring? |

A48874 | What is this more than trifling with Words? |
A48874 | What makes Lead, and Iron malleable; Antimony, and Stones not? |
A48874 | What more is contained in that Maxim, than what the Signification of the Word Totum, or the Whole, does of it self import? |
A48874 | What moved? |
A48874 | What need is there of Reason? |
A48874 | What real Alteration can the beating of the Pestle make in any Body, but an Alteration of the Texture of it? |
A48874 | What shall we say then? |
A48874 | What shall we then say, Are these general Maxims of no use? |
A48874 | What sort of outside is the certain sign, that there is, or is not such an Inhabitant within? |
A48874 | What then are we to do for the improvement of our Knowledge in substantial Beings? |
A48874 | What true or tolerable notion of a Deity, could they have, who acknowledged, and worshipped hundreds? |
A48874 | What universal Principles of Knowledge? |
A48874 | What was it that made any thing come out of the Body? |
A48874 | When therefore you say, That this is an innate Rule, What do you mean? |
A48874 | Whence comes it by that vast store, which the busie and boundless Fancy of Man has painted on it, with an almost endless variety? |
A48874 | Whence comes this then? |
A48874 | Whence has it all the materials of Reason and Knowledge? |
A48874 | Where is that practical Truth, that is universally received without doubt or question, as it must be if innate? |
A48874 | Where is the Head that has no Chimeras in it? |
A48874 | Where now( I ask) shall be the just measure, which the utmost bounds of that Shape, which carries with it a rational Soul? |
A48874 | Where then are those innate Principles, of Justice, Piety, Gratitude, Equity, Chastity? |
A48874 | Wherein then, would I gladly know, consists the precise and unmovable Boundaries of that Species? |
A48874 | Whether Euphorbus and Pythagoras, having had the same Soul, were the same Man, tho''they lived several Ages asunder? |
A48874 | Which innate? |
A48874 | Who ever, that had a Mind to understand them, mistook the ordinary meaning of Seven, or a Triangle? |
A48874 | Who in his Wits would chuse to come within a possibility of infinite Misery, which if he miss, there is yet nothing to be got by that hazard? |
A48874 | Who knows not what odd Notions many Men''s Heads are fill''d with, and what strange Ideas all Men''s Brains are capable of? |
A48874 | Who of all these, has established the right signification of the word Gold? |

A53048 | And they asked her, VVhat made Love so painful? |
A53048 | And they asked, What sort of Men were fit to be Generals? |
A53048 | And what Advantages, said he, do I gain by this? |

A53048 | But how came you to be cured, said she? |
A53048 | But how will you dispose of me? |
A53048 | But if I be( said she) thought handsome, What then? |
A53048 | But if thou hadst been in Love with him( said her Unkle), Where had been your content then? |
A53048 | But though they ought to be so, said the other yet they are not always so: for, were not many of the Roman Emperors called, The Foolish Emperors? |

A53048 | Is it not enough to fling a Disgrace of Neglect on her, but you must ruin all her good Fortunes? |
A53048 | Is there no Peace in Nature to be found? |
A53048 | Is this the only reason, said she? |
A53048 | Is this your Hand, says he? |
A53048 | It proves me neither: for, Why should I disgust my Palat, in hearing a confused Noise? |
A53048 | Just Judges, answered she: WHAT though he secretly disliked of that Act be made? |
A53048 | Lady, said he, will you give me leave to place you? |
A53048 | Lord, Unkle, said she, What a horrid Noise is here? |
A53048 | Make you no sympathy in Human Kind? |
A53048 | Most of the Nobles being here, and none but Peasants left behind, who have no skill in Warrs, and only fight like Beasts? |
A53048 | Must Misery and Fear attend us round? |
A53048 | Must all your Works consist in contradiction? |
A53048 | Nay, Man will destroy his own Kind: for, What Warrs and Slaughter do they make, out of a covetous Ambition for Power and Authority? |
A53048 | Nay, not only to love, but to love a Slave, and he regards me not: Do I say, Slave? |
A53048 | Nay, what have I not lost? |
A53048 | No Gratitude, but there dost lye, In dark Oblivion for to dye? |
A53048 | No, said she, I never will trust a broken Wheel: Do you know what is in my Power, said she? |
A53048 | O Father, said Travelia, Must you go, and leave me here behind? |

A53048 | Or who will rescue me from those that seek my ruin? |
A53048 | Or, how durst Men their Tongues or Lips to move In argument, his mighty Power to prove? |
A53048 | Pray, said he, may I know who is this happy Person you so humbly obey? |
A53048 | Pray, said she, What is a Masque? |
A53048 | Put the case you should die, you will then give me leave to marrie her? |
A53048 | Said he, Why may not we our Senses all delight? |
A53048 | Said she, That Question I would ask of you, For I do doubt my Senses are not true Intelligencers; are you the Prince I see? |
A53048 | Shall they live by our hard Labour? |
A53048 | Shall we despise the Gift of the Gods, in making no use of what they give us? |
A53048 | She answered, By my troth, Mistress, the Gentleman''s Discourse hath painted your Cheeks; pray Mistress, saith she, doth he talk finely? |
A53048 | She answered, No; she would first see them that were to take them: Who is it that would take them, said she? |
A53048 | She said, Honour did not bind or require any Man to ruin himself: wherefore, said she, every Man may, nay ought to entertain according to his Estate? |
A53048 | Silent long time they stood, at last spake he, Why doth my Love with Tears so torture me? |
A53048 | Sir, said he, What unlucky occasion brought you into my House? |

A27051 | And is not our love, the fruit of his love? |
A27051 | And is this to you a Certifying Evidence that indeed God revealed it, because their Church saith so? |
A27051 | And shall I not expect good from so good a God, the cause of all the good that is in the World? |
A27051 | And shall I rashly venture on such a danger, any more than I would do on Fornication, Drunkenness, or other sin? |
A27051 | And shall it be harder to me to think well of Infinite Love and Goodness, than for my neighbours to trust me and think well of such a wretch as I? |
A27051 | And shall this be called a saving love of God? |
A27051 | And that his Word must be known to be his Word, by the same Evidence by one man and another? |
A27051 | And to be able to overdo such gamesters, any more than to beat one at a game at Chess, or for a Physician to know the Pox or Leprosie? |
A27051 | And what a multitude of young ones will some one Creature Procreate, especially Fishes to admiration? |

A27051 | And what is it that must perswade us to all this? |
A27051 | And what is it that such men know or seem to know, which may be compared with their Ignorance? |
A27051 | And what is that? |
A27051 | And what is the Evidence by which they know, and are brought to consent? |
A27051 | And what is the Omnipotent Power that doth this? |
A27051 | And what is the pretence for all this? |
A27051 | And what is this Spirit, but the Habit of Divine and Heavenly Love, and its concomitants? |
A27051 | And what mischiefs doth it cause in Churches? |
A27051 | And what more uniteth Souls than Love? |
A27051 | And what mortal man can truly take the measure of them? |
A27051 | And what pretence must justify all this? |
A27051 | And what will cause love if all this will not? |
A27051 | And when all''s done, how little do we obtain? |
A27051 | And when did God work Miracles which were meer objects of belief against sense? |
A27051 | And where men least love one another? |
A27051 | And where mutual Hatred, Cruelty and Persecution, proclaim them much void of that love which is the Christian Badge? |
A27051 | And where rather than in Councils? |
A27051 | And who had not then rather hear the talk and prayers of a holy person, than the most accurate Logick or Mathematicks? |
A27051 | And who is in the right among so many who all with confidence pretend to be in the right? |
A27051 | And who more peremptory and bold in their judgments than those that least know what they say? |

A27051 | And yet are we wise men? |
A27051 | And yet have we not experience enough to teach us? |
A27051 | And yet shall man be proud of Wit? |
A27051 | And yet shall we not fear, but rage and be confident? |
A27051 | Are all these precious things which die with Love, no better than to be sacrificed to the Clergies Pride and Worldly lusts? |
A27051 | Are all your large Writings evident certainties? |
A27051 | Are not Election, Creation, Redemption and Conversion acts of love? |
A27051 | Are these wise men? |
A27051 | Are we blind also? |
A27051 | Are you sure that notwithstanding all this, God would have you avoid Communion with the Churches that in such Forms and Orders differ from you? |
A27051 | As God is here seen as in a Glass, so is he loved: He that Loveth not his Brother whom he seeth daily, how shall he Love God, whom he never saw? |
A27051 | At least you make Ignorant Persons happy that can but Love God, though they know not their Catechism? |
A27051 | But I pray you ask these damning Sectaries, Is it believing your Word, and being of your Opinion that will save me? |
A27051 | But Sir, I pray you, who shall do it? |
A27051 | But above all, though nothing is perfectly known which is not methodically known; yet how few have a true methodical knowledge? |
A27051 | But again I ask you, How you know that God biddeth or forbiddeth you any thing, if sense be not first to be believed? |
A27051 | But alas, how low are our hopes? |
A27051 | But are you content your selves to be kill''d by Love? |
A27051 | But every side almost tells me that I am damned if I do not believe as they do? |
A27051 | But hark you Sir, shall that one Man have a Wife or not? |
A27051 | But how few of them unite on the terms of simple Christianity and Certainties? |
A27051 | But how know you that ever you did hear or read or see a Book or Man? |
A27051 | But how long will it seem so? |
A27051 | But how loth should I be to take such sawce for my food, and such recreations for my business? |
A27051 | But how must this be done? |
A27051 | But how shall he know that this Scripture is Gods Word? |
A27051 | But how shall strangers and posterity know when they read a History, whether the Writer was an honest Man or a Knave? |
A27051 | But how then doth God love his Enemies? |
A27051 | But if Wisdom were justified of none but her Children, how confidently durst I call my self a Son of Wisdom? |
A27051 | But if there be so many things either uncertain or less- certain ▪ what is it that we are or may be fully certain of? |
A27051 | But if they were not Evident Truths before, what made those Prelates conclude them for Truths? |
A27051 | But is it not possible for sense to be deceived? |
A27051 | But must their Church live on Blood? |
A27051 | But shall I doubt whether he that made the Sun, be Father of lights, and whether he know his dwelling, and his continued works? |
A27051 | But suppose it were so that to love the Creature were to love God, is not then the hating of the Creature the hating of God? |
A27051 | But suppose them mistaken; hast thou tryed that they are unwilling to be instructed? |
A27051 | But sure this is not the first knowing that we know? |
A27051 | But that prevaileth not, and yet it is undone? |
A27051 | But the POPE must be PRINCIPIUM UNITATIS: And will all Christians certainly Unite in the Pope? |
A27051 | But the Question is, What soundness of Reason or proof that this is God''s Word, is necessary to make it a Sanctifying Faith? |
A27051 | But were they not stronger after all these cruelties than before? |
A27051 | But what Knowledge must it be? |
A27051 | But what is this believing him? |
A27051 | But what is this to the Love of God which the Text speaketh of? |
A27051 | But what''s all this to foolish conceit that you know what you do not? |
A27051 | But what''s become then of the contrary evidence which appeared before to these dissenters? |
A27051 | But which is the Church, my Lord? |
A27051 | But who will desire the Wisdom that maketh a man never the better? |
A27051 | But would they not yet speed worse if they used you as much? |
A27051 | But you''l say,[ We can be no wiser than we are: If we do the best we can, what can we do more? |
A27051 | By Hearing or Reading? |
A27051 | Can Persecutors for shame Hang and Burn men for meer Ignorance, who are willing to learn, and will thankfully from any man receive information? |
A27051 | Can not God do it? |
A27051 | Can our common poor Labourers,( especially Husbandmen) have leisure to inform their minds with Philosophy or curious Speculations? |
A27051 | Consider how communicative this Infinite Goodness is: Why else is he called LOVE it self? |
A27051 | Could I ever have truly loved Him, his Word, his Ways and Servants, but by the reflection of his love? |
A27051 | Did I say, It is a doubt? |
A27051 | Did not Christ prefer mercy before Sabbath rest, and before the avoiding familiarity with sinners? |
A27051 | Did they know them to be such without Evidence? |
A27051 | Do not some of those men whom thou so Magisterially condemnest, study as hard and as impartially as thy self? |
A27051 | Do they not live as well, and shew as much tenderness of Conscience, and fear of erring and sinning as thy self? |
A27051 | Do they not pray as hard for Gods assistance? |
A27051 | Do we live in such weakness, and shall we not know it? |
A27051 | Do we not justly account it as unfit a work for the Lords day to be for pleasure perusing Maps, as to be for pleasure viewing the Woods and Fields? |
A27051 | Do you long to be liker to God in your capacity, and more near him and united to him? |
A27051 | Do you long to have Families, Cities, Kingdoms and all the World, made truly Holy, Wise and united in Love to one another? |
A27051 | Do you love Wisdom and Goodness in your selves, and not in others only? |
A27051 | Do you love the holy Laws of God, as they express that holy Wisdom and Love, which is his perfection? |
A27051 | Do you love them as they would rule the World in Holiness, and bring mankind to true wisdom and mutual love? |
A27051 | Do you love to have Wisdom and Goodness, and Love as Universal as is possible? |
A27051 | Do you perceive any Substances Intellectually or not? |
A27051 | Do you truely love the Image of God on the Soul of Man? |
A27051 | Doth God know all things, or not? |
A27051 | Doth a Dog or a Goose know a Book of Philosophy, because he looketh on it, and seeth the bulk? |
A27051 | Doth he know a Clock or Watch, who knoweth no more of it, but that it hath such Parts and Shapes, made of Iron and Brass? |
A27051 | Doth he rule us by a Law, or not,& c? |
A27051 | Doth not God say, he that seeketh shall find; and wisdom must be laboriously searched for, as a hidden treasure? |
A27051 | Doth not God''s Loving us make us Happy? |
A27051 | Ease and Pain will have their end: It is the end that must teach us how to estimate them: And who but God can foretell thee the end? |
A27051 | Even those Controversies in which you have so many Adversaries? |
A27051 | For how should we be sure of that one above all the rest? |
A27051 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord? |
A27051 | For, how little knoweth that man who knoweth not his own Ignorance? |
A27051 | Gassendus often; and who not? |
A27051 | Goodness not- sensible, Certainly apprehended by the Intellectual Soul, not only sub ratione Veri, sed& Boni? |
A27051 | Had Christ his humane Soul from the Virgin, or only his flesh? |
A27051 | Had he his Manhood from Man, if not his Soul, which is the chief essential part? |
A27051 | Had our Salvation been laid upon our Learning a Body of true Philosophy, how desperate would our case have been? |
A27051 | Hath Christ commanded you any thing before it, except the Love of God? |
A27051 | Hath not God made f ● oli ● h the wisdom of this world? |
A27051 | Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this World? |
A27051 | Hath not pride made thy silly wit to be as an Idol, to which all must bow down on pain of the heat of thy displeasure? |
A27051 | Have I heard him speak for himself? |
A27051 | Have they not the same Books, and as good Teachers? |
A27051 | Having given me so precious a gift as his Son, will he think any thing too good to give me? |
A27051 | He that knoweth the King''s Impress, and the Value, and what it is good for, and how to get and use it? |
A27051 | He that saith he loveth God, and hateth his Brother, is a Liar? |
A27051 | Heaven is a state of Joyful Complacence; and what is that but Perfect Love? |
A27051 | His common Influx all creatures receive? |
A27051 | How Divine, how High and Noble is this life; To live in a humble friendship with God and all his holy ones? |
A27051 | How are Infants saved that have neither Knowledge nor Love? |
A27051 | How can you possibly know how much more may be unknown to you? |
A27051 | How doth he know that these men do not lie? |
A27051 | How easily is a man''s Judgment tempted to think well of that which he loveth, and ill of that which his heart is against? |
A27051 | How else should Souls have Communion with God? |
A27051 | How false must a great number of the Historians on one side be? |
A27051 | How few are much the wiser for them? |
A27051 | How highly did these people think of their own wisdom and holiness, while they cryed down Laces, Points and Cuffs? |
A27051 | How is God our End? |
A27051 | How know you that here is no Bread and Wine? |
A27051 | How know you that? |
A27051 | How knoweth the Lay- man that ever the Church made such a decree? |
A27051 | How known? |
A27051 | How little of the Divine Artifice is known in the composition of mixt Bodies? |
A27051 | How long Lord shall this Dungeon be our dwelling? |
A27051 | How long hath he kept thee safe in the midst of dangers? |
A27051 | How many Methods of Logick have we? |
A27051 | How many Sects and Opinions in Religion? |
A27051 | How many such a wound hath poor Durandus suffered? |
A27051 | How ordinary is this? |
A27051 | How shall one that would learn Philosophy know in this Age, what Sect to follow, or what Guide to chuse? |
A27051 | How shall we know certainly which are the true uncorrupted writings of these Fathers among so many forgeries and spurious Scripts? |
A27051 | How shall we know which side to be on? |
A27051 | I ask it of each particular Bishop in that Council, Is he saved for believing himself or the rest? |
A27051 | I ask not only whether your opinion will make you say that this Society and State is best? |
A27051 | I know not what the meaning of a Reflect act is: Is it the same act which is called Direct and Reflect? |
A27051 | I must expect that opening the Crime will exasperate the Guilty: But what remedy? |
A27051 | I therefore ask the Infidel Objector, whether he shall be saved that loveth God in one respect, and hateth him in another? |
A27051 | I think that God nor Man have no true need of a lie in this case; and that lies seldom further mens Salvation? |
A27051 | IF so much knowledge will save a man as helpeth him to love God as God, may not Heathens or Infidels at least be saved? |
A27051 | If by Evidence, let it be produced? |
A27051 | If he be asked[ Sir, did you ever try?] |
A27051 | If it be true and good, why do they hate and revile them that would live in the serious practice of it, if they will not practise it themselves? |
A27051 | If it come especially to the characterizing of others, how ordinarily do men speak as they are affected? |
A27051 | If no man be saved for believing himself, why should another be saved for believing him? |
A27051 | If not, how shall we know in what to believe their consent, according to this Rule? |
A27051 | If not, the Kingdom will die with him? |
A27051 | If not, why do they use it, and never blame it? |
A27051 | If not, why pretend you that there are any? |
A27051 | If only by this Revelation, how know you that Revelation? |
A27051 | If religion be bad, and our faith be not true, why do these men profess it? |
A27051 | If sense be fallible here, why not there? |
A27051 | If so much Knowledge will save Men as causeth them To Love God, may not Heathens be saved who know God to be good, and therefore may Love him? |
A27051 | If so, why is it called Reflect, and what is that reflection? |
A27051 | If the Greek Church can be corrupted into so gross a foolery, why may not the Latine, and the English, if they had the same temptations? |
A27051 | If the Inquisitors Torment Protestants, or Burn them, is it not necessary that they call them by such odious names as may justify their fact? |
A27051 | If the former, then is it as necessary to Salvation to know how old Henoch was, as to know that Jesus Christ is our Saviour? |
A27051 | If they are too ignorant, how come you to be wiser? |
A27051 | If they that never used a Trade, should presently take themselves to be as wise as the longest practicers, who would be Apprentices? |
A27051 | If you are not, why will you not learn of him? |
A27051 | If you are not, why will you not learn? |
A27051 | If you are wise enough already, what need you a Teacher? |
A27051 | If you ask me, when this desire of common Learning is inordinate? |
A27051 | If you were wiser than He, why did you choose or take him for your Teacher? |
A27051 | Is any Infallible besides the Pope and his Council? |
A27051 | Is any thing more evident than that all men must be saved for Believing God? |
A27051 | Is he our Owner, or not? |
A27051 | Is it a greater evil than the destruction of Love that you would avoid? |
A27051 | Is it any great honour to know the vanity of Philosophical Pedantry? |
A27051 | Is it because Scripture or Councils say so? |
A27051 | Is it by any certifying Evidence, or by Prophetical Inspiration? |
A27051 | Is it not blaspheming God? |
A27051 | Is it not revealed to others as well as to them? |
A27051 | Is it not then an unspeakable comfort in all these cases that we are known of God? |
A27051 | Is not here Self- conceitedness in all( at least) save one? |
A27051 | Is not the love of God like to be least, where Contentions and Controversies divert the peoples minds from God and necessary saving Truths? |
A27051 | Is there no Remedy, no Hope from Thee, though there be none from Man? |
A27051 | Is this an Intellect to be proud of? |
A27051 | Is your worldly interest on that side that your opinion is for? |
A27051 | It can be none of the former; therefore it must be the latter: And how can the understanding find that in sense which was never there? |
A27051 | It is a natural Impossibility: For Evidence is nothing but the perceptibility of the Truth: And can we perceive that which is not perceptible? |
A27051 | It is not their own words: Doth a Pope believe himself only? |
A27051 | It is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,& c. Where is the wise? |
A27051 | LOVE is the great command and summary of all the Law: And what can be a just pretence for breaking the greatest command, yea, and the whole Law? |
A27051 | Let them not go beyond their knowledge: How little of our kind of Physick did the old Physicians( Hypocrates, Galius, Celsus,& c.) give? |
A27051 | Let unbelievers say, How doth God know? |
A27051 | Many a man spendeth all the studies of his Life, more for a Fame of Learning than for Learning it self; what is Pride if this be not? |
A27051 | May a Papist or an Heretick by his knowledge be a lover of God as God? |
A27051 | May not a Papist or Heretick Love God and be saved? |
A27051 | Miracles to become ordinary things, through all the Churches in the World, and every day in the week or every hour to be done? |
A27051 | Must Sense be renounced and ordinary Miracles believed for such words as these? |
A27051 | Must not that Evidence convince us also? |
A27051 | Must not we have a Faith of the same kind as the Church hath? |
A27051 | Must their doctrine be kept up by silencing faithful Ministers? |
A27051 | Must we believe therefore that neither David nor Christ was a Man, but a Worm? |
A27051 | Nature teacheth us to loath death as death, and to desire, if it might be, that this Cup might pass by us? |
A27051 | Nay, it is well if when they have increased knowledge they increase not sorrow? |
A27051 | Nay, will he not be hardened in his self- conceit, because it is such as these that contradict him? |
A27051 | No Gospel daily preached and practised? |
A27051 | No Knowledge of the Lords Prayer and Commandements? |
A27051 | Now after ye have known God, or rather are known of of God? |
A27051 | O how much goeth to make an able Physician? |
A27051 | O that Ministers would be wiser at last, than to put their superfluities, their controversies, and private opinions into their Catechisms? |
A27051 | Of how little use is it to me in it self to know what is written in many a hundred Books, which yet by accident, it much concerneth me to know? |
A27051 | Or absolutely, as supposing that one mark infallible, because it is never separated from the rest? |
A27051 | Or hath God said, You shall be saved if you will believe your selves, and believe that I have said all that you say I have said? |
A27051 | Or if he be told it but once, or twice, or thrice, or how oft? |
A27051 | Or is it Charity or common Justice to condemn a man unheard? |
A27051 | Or is it certain that all Christians will Unite in Patriarchs? |
A27051 | Or is it not an over- valuing of thy own understanding, which makes thee so easily condemn all as unsufferable that differ from it? |
A27051 | Or must I also know by scientifical Evidence that you say true, and that God himself hath said what you say? |
A27051 | Or no Profession of the Christian Faith in distinct Articles? |
A27051 | Or on the other, Away with these from our Communion as not holy enough to join with us? |
A27051 | Or than the life of mens Souls in all matters of Soul concernment? |
A27051 | Or than the life of the Church in all Church affairs? |
A27051 | Or that the Spirit was promised to these Prelates which was promised to the Apostles? |
A27051 | Or that there was no Baptism? |
A27051 | Quod enim opes est ut hec& hujusmodi affirmentur, vel negentur, vel definiantur cum dis ● rimine, quando sine crimine nesciuntur? |
A27051 | Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? |
A27051 | Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? |
A27051 | Shall I not easily believe and trust his love who hath promised me eternal glory with his Son,& with all his holy ones in Heaven? |
A27051 | Shall I not easily hope for good from him, who hath made such a covenant of Grace with me in Christ? |
A27051 | Shall I say, SUSPEND TILL YOU HAVE TRUE EVIDENCE, and you are safe? |
A27051 | So often heard my prayers in distress, and hath made all my life, notwithstanding my sins, a continual wonder of his mercies? |
A27051 | Specially in the work of self- judging, how hard a work have the most Learned that are ungodly truely to know themselves? |
A27051 | Such obloquy had Hierome, such had Augustine himself, and who knoweth not that Envy is Virtues Shadow? |
A27051 | That even one mans Life is more precious than one mans maintenance, or fuller supply: Is it not honester to beg your bread? |
A27051 | That ever the Bishops of that Council were lawfully called? |
A27051 | That is, a Heavenly Life, and Light, and Love? |
A27051 | That is, take that for more certain which all men believe, than that which I think I see a Divine word for my self? |
A27051 | That the Physician is but One man; And will his maintenance or livelyhood excuse him for killing many? |
A27051 | That they truely represented all Christs Church on Earth? |
A27051 | That this or that Doctrine is the decree of a Council, or the sence of the Church indeed? |
A27051 | The Heavenly work is perfect Obedience and Praise: And what are these but the actions and the breath of Love? |
A27051 | The Lord is my Shepherd, what then can I need? |
A27051 | The prouder the Obtruder of his own conceits is, the more he condemneth all Dissenters as proud, for presuming to differ from such as he? |
A27051 | Then so must we: It is not the present Church then that I must believe by a saving Faith: But why then was the last Age saved, and so the former? |
A27051 | To say no more of Rome, O that the Reformed Churches themselves had been more innocent? |
A27051 | Was it not labour enough to study so many years to know what others say? |
A27051 | Well, and Patriarchs must be the Pillars of Unity: But was it so to the Unity of the first Churches? |
A27051 | Were it but Poverty alone, how much of our time will it alienate from contemplation? |
A27051 | Were it left to our wills how long we should live on Earth, alas how long should many of us be kept out of heaven, by our own desires? |
A27051 | Were they Forreign Enemies that did it, and still keep open our wounds, or is it our selves? |
A27051 | What Soul in Hell doth think that Wisdom brought him thither? |
A27051 | What a case then had Mankind been in, if none could have been wise and happy indeed, but these few of extraordinary capacity? |
A27051 | What a dark deceitful mind have I? |
A27051 | What abundance of darkness do these two words contain in all their writings? |
A27051 | What abundance will talk against an Arminian, a Calvinist, a Prelatist, a Presbyterian, an Independent, that really know not what any of them are? |

A27051 | What help of Teachers, do we need? |
A27051 | What if a novice can not Anatomize Cicero or Demosthenes, doth it follow that they are immethodical? |

A27051 | What is the Church that saith so? |
A27051 | What is the Contention in Families,( and in all the World) but who shall have his way and will? |
A27051 | What is the whole Christian Faith for, but the doctrine of holy love believed, for the kindling and exercise of our love? |
A27051 | What joyn we for in the Sacred worship of the assemblies, but that in an united flame of holy love, we might all mount up in praise to Jehovah? |

A27051 | What''s this to the hasty believing of falshoods, or uncertainties, and troubling the Church and World with self- conceit and dreams? |
A27051 | When I see the Skulls of the dead who perhaps once knew me, how little doth it now concern me what thoughts of me were once within that Skull? |
A27051 | When Learning doth but help their Pride to blind them? |
A27051 | When a man cometh to die, who savoureth not more Wisdom in the Sacred Scripture, and in holy Treatises, than in all Aristotle''s Learned works? |
