A56385 | Now how is it imaginable that she can doe this? |
A56385 | Now if this were the case of the Christians, what was to be done? |
A56385 | Now if we believe them in the black and tragical part of the Story, why not in all? |
A56385 | Now then, how can Vertue taken alone give me any recompence or satisfaction for any loss that I sustain meerly upon her account? |
A56385 | Now what Reflection can be more sad and dismal than the inevitable necessity of bidding an eternal adieu to all his mirth and happiness? |

A43008 | Besides, what is quantity without form? |
A43008 | But again, how can it be a single essence since it is divisible, and therefore consisteth of a quantitative extension, and is a totum integrale? |
A43008 | But again, if it be not cognoscible, how do you know it then to be a thing? |
A43008 | But answer me, whereby will you know, what hath much matter in a little place or dimension, and what hath little matter in a great place? |

A43008 | But suppose I granted that modal or objective Beings had their places here per accidens, to what Science are they then referred per se? |
A43008 | But suppose an Antiperistasis or intension of qualities without the condensation of their substances were granted, how do fiery Meteors become flames? |
A43008 | But then again why so? |
A43008 | But then tell me what that thing is wherein all the Nine Accidents do inhere? |

A43008 | Do we not know our selves in knowing God? |
A43008 | Do we not observe the air to press by the spurring of fire through glasses of the greatest thickness? |
A43008 | Do you not think that the Devil gives a little touch here to, to set off this melody? |
A43008 | Doth a Lump of earth contain more matter then a tract of ayr of the same proportion? |
A43008 | Doth earth( that is in particles) ever move Locally out of its place? |

A43008 | Etenim quomodo potest universale dici fieri per notitiam,& non cognosci? |
A43008 | Further, What heat is there under the Earth? |

A43008 | Hath he not created Angels, men, the world, and all things therein contained? |
A43008 | He moveth a Question, Whether the soul of a whelp is a part of the soul of the dog that begot him: And why not? |
A43008 | Here again he addes a Note of distinction to his Archeus, which is to be per quod, and is not this also an inseparable Attribute of a Form? |
A43008 | Here may be demanded, How doth the holy Spirit then manifest it self to any, since all men are sinners, and all sinners are evil? |

A43008 | How then? |

A43008 | I answer affirmatively, What should hinder the Tact from feeling, supposing the object to be applyed to the sensory? |
A43008 | I ask you again, whether there is not fire contained in Aqua fortis? |
A43008 | I confirm the Minor: what, can a body be said to expel it self? |
A43008 | I confirm the Minor; had there never been any moysture, who could ever have thought of dryness? |
A43008 | I grant it, and what is this else but a Deluge? |
A43008 | I not the light of a Candle or Touch much larger than its flame? |
A43008 | I prove it; Is not the shadow of a man standing in the Sun cylindrical to some extent? |
A43008 | I take them in this last Acception, and demand, whether it is not the ayr, which causes that situation and distance of parts? |
A43008 | I take your Answer, but what kind of rest do you mean? |
A43008 | I. VVHether Air be weighty? |
A43008 | I. VVHy doth water cast upon unquencht chalk or lime become boyling? |
A43008 | I. VVHy is red hot Iron rendered harder by being quencht in cold water? |
A43008 | Ice and many bodies generated thereon, as stones,& c. are mixt bodies, and is it the heat of the Sun that doth effect these? |
A43008 | If he implies the last, where then consists the difference between Density and Rarity? |
A43008 | If the broyling Sun be the efficient, whence is it then that some Lakes and Fountains are very salt, where the Sun doth not cast its aduring beams? |
A43008 | If the first, then it is by the entring of another body between the parts that are separated, and what body is that but fire? |
A43008 | If there is any such single matter, how do you know it? |
A43008 | If there were not universal real beings, how could we apprehend universal objective beings? |

A43008 | In the same manner, why should an Ens in potentia be accounted to be more real then Aristotle actually and really existing without the world? |
A43008 | In what perplexity did Aristotle die? |

A43008 | Is it not rather a grand piece of impudence to propose such absurdities, and much more to give credit to them? |
A43008 | Is it not then a man''s greatest concernment to bestir himself in this need and defect for a means of restoration? |
A43008 | Is not God the Pattern of our Actions? |
A43008 | Is not a Line also made through union of points in the same manner? |
A43008 | Is not the heat more apt to conveigh vapours, that do so narrowly enclose it, then earth, which of it self permits free egress to fire? |
A43008 | Is not the same Candle apt to overcast an Object much bigger than it self with light that shall exceed its mediety? |
A43008 | Is not this Archeus an effect also of its preceding cause? |
A43008 | Is not time composed out of instants united, and motion out of( ex impetibus) spurts joyned to one another? |
A43008 | Is then fire predominating through its Access of Parts over the other constituting Elements really distinct from it self, because it is greater? |
A43008 | Is there any more difference between a Seed and its germined body, then between an Infant and a man? |
A43008 | Is there any substance or new quality advened to it, and essentially joyned to its Minims? |

A43008 | It is proper for us to know what honour is; for how could we else acquit our duty in this part to God, to the supream Magistrate, or to our Parents? |
A43008 | It so, whither can it move? |
A43008 | Lastly, He can not prove it by any sense, only that it must be so, because it agrees with his supposition, and what proof is that to another? |

A43008 | Mans goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way? |
A43008 | Mercurius but water? |
A43008 | Nature is infinitely beyond Art: What Art is there, which can produce the great world, or any thing comparable to the little world? |
A43008 | Notwithstanding all this, there are some, who obstinately do affirm, that the evil habit inheres in the soul per se, but how do they prove it? |
A43008 | Now I demand from you, whether the power of a Ghost''s Existence moveth your understanding before it doth actually exist? |
A43008 | Now if it was unmixt, how could it be said to be tempered? |
A43008 | Now that it is not perceptible is evident; for who can perceive water, ayr, or fire in the earth? |
A43008 | Now then, is it not time for thee to flie, and make thy escape? |
A43008 | Now what followeth hence? |
A43008 | Now what sign of predominance of Earth and Water is there apparent in the Sun? |
A43008 | O but what misery is it to be shut out from this celestial consort, and have ones brains dashed against the fiery pins, and burning stakes of Hell? |
A43008 | On the other side, why should it not be conceived to be a transient action, since it doth terminare ad extra? |
A43008 | Or did he specifie it from the common tact, because it was proper to the Membranes of the Genitals? |
A43008 | Or did you ever see light and doubted of the flame of it? |
A43008 | Or do you not think, that they would be sooner discussed through the intense heat of the upper Region, than concrease into a body? |
A43008 | Or is it the soul together with the heat, wherein it is detained, which is accounted of an extract equally noble with her? |
A43008 | Or otherwise if the air did strive to separate, how could it? |
A43008 | Or simply, a form is needful, or how, or by what power could they act? |
A43008 | Or thus, Can the understanding know against her will, or without her will? |
A43008 | Or thus, If winds be so powerful, why did they not blow down such hils before they came to that height? |
A43008 | Or why shall a light body have but little matter, and a weighty one much? |
A43008 | Otherwise from whom should he else have learned these things, but from the Prophets? |
A43008 | Pray observe here, that the condescending of the soul to the body was not a sinne: That being necessary; for how could man have eaten else? |
A43008 | Pray tell me, why emanation may not be as properly called transmutation, as not? |
A43008 | Pray what is this but absolute atheism? |

A43008 | Pray, what is a substantial Principle but a substance? |
A43008 | Probably you say it is: I ask you then what kind of body it is? |
A43008 | Secondly, He doth against reason and experience state the rarefaction of some air: But whence came that air? |
A43008 | Secondly, I demand through what principle all things are continued? |
A43008 | Secondly, Would not all Philosophers deride him for saying an intrinsick efficient? |
A43008 | Sense never perceived it, how can you then tell it? |
A43008 | Since that all beings act for an end and purpose, it may be demanded, What end and purpose can a man have in coveting an evil object, as it is evil? |
A43008 | Sixthly, To shun evil and to covet good, are two acts formally contrary: If so, How can these flow from one habit? |
A43008 | So likewise the heat( Calidum innatum) is diversified from the matter and from the soul, wherefore it is neither matter or form, What then? |
A43008 | Some are deferring, others equalizing, and what not for to drive away their time? |
A43008 | Sulphur but fire and ayr? |
A43008 | THe fourth Question proposed is, Which is the Subject of Natural Theology? |
A43008 | Thales being sometimes demanded, what of all things was the most beautiful? |

A43008 | The south streaks( saith he) are intorted in a form different from those of the North: whence had he that news? |

A27004 | Or because they are harder to him than the things which our eyes are daily witnesses of? |
A27004 | Or can you think while you are awake and sober, that Perfidiousness will save you, and be taken by God instead of Christianity? |
A27004 | Or hath he indeed a God, who preferreth his lust, or wealth, or honour, or any thing in the World before him? |
