A16273Alas her Lilly- hand, How it dooth me commaund?
A16273Alas his paine is nought, For were my woe but thought: Oh how would Phaebe sigh, if she did looke on me?
A16273Alas this note of woe why should we found?
A16273Alas, how oft with teares,( Oh teares of guilefull brest:) She seemed full of iealous feares, Whereat I did but iest?
A16273Alas, what heereby shall I winne If he gaine- say me?
A16273And can not I be glad, since not estraunged, My selfe into Seluagia I haue chaunged?
A16273And can not I be glad, since thus estraunged, My selfe from false Diana I haue chaunged?
A16273And if this sorrow can not be Ended with life( at most:) What then dooth this thing profit me, A sorrow wonne or lost?
A16273And what is that Ismenia, that dooth bind it To loue, whereas the same is most estranged, And where it is impossible to finde it?
A16273And whether runnes this beuie of Ladies bright, Ranged in a roe?
A16273And while her musique wounds mine eares, Alas say I, when will my notes afford Such like remorce, who still beweepe my paine?
A16273And who can hope, that feeles dispaire?
A16273And with new league and cruell title seeing Thy faith so pure and worthy to be changed?
A16273And would''st thou haue in loue more gaine?
A16273Becomes it thee to triumph so?
A16273Bin they not Baie- braunches which they doo beare: All for Eliza in her hand to weare?
A16273But if Loue in prayers mooue ye?
A16273But if Loue the thought doo show ye, will ye loose your eyes with winking?
A16273But if truth and Loue confesse it: will ye doubt the true enditing?
A16273But tell me now, what honour hast thou gayned, Auenging such a fault by thee committed, And there- vnto by thy occasion trayned?
A16273But were the sorrowes knowne, That me hath ouer- throwne: Oh how would Phaebe sigh, if she did looke on mee?
A16273But what is Loues delight?
A16273Can beautie such sharpe guerdon giue, to him whose life hangs in your eye?
A16273Comes not my Sheepheardesse desired so?
A16273DIaphenia like the Daffadown- dillie, White as the Sunne, faire as the Lillie, heigh hoe, how I doo loue thee?
A16273Diaphenia like the spreading Roses, That in thy sweetes all sweetes incloses, faire sweete how I doo loue thee?
A16273Diaphenia like to all things blessed, When all thy praises are expressed, deare Ioy, how I doo loue thee?
A16273Euery bird sits on his bowe, As brag as he that is the best: Then sweet Loue, reueale howe our minds may be at rest?
A16273FAire fields proud Floraes vaunt, why i''st you smile, when as I languish?
A16273Faire freend, quoth he, when shall I liue, That am halfe dead, yet can not die?
A16273From whence come all these Sheepheards Swaines, And louely Nimphs attir''d in greene?
A16273GOrbo, as thou cam''st this way By yonder little hill, Or as thou through the fields didst stray, Saw''st thou my Daffadill?
A16273Goe we then, why sit we here delaying: And all yond mery wanton lasses playing?
A16273Graunt, ô me, what am I saying?
A16273HArke iollie Sheepheards, harke yond lustie ringing: How cheerefully the bells daunce, the whilst the Lads are springing?
A16273Haue you not seene her moode, What streames of teares she spent: Till that I sware my faith so stoode, As her words had it bent?
A16273Heare alas, oh heare me, Aye me, aye me, Can not my beautie mooue thee?
A16273Her modest eye, Her Maiestie, Where haue you seene the like but there?
A16273How can I keepe, I pre- thee tell, Thy Kie, my selfe that can not well defend, nor please thy kinde As long as I haue serued thee?
A16273How can this hart of thine containe A ioy, that is of such great force?
A16273How could it be( my enemie?)
A16273How falls it out Loue dooth not kill Thy crueltie with some remorce?
A16273How gailie Flora leades it, and sweetly treads it?
A16273How ill fits you this greene to weare, For hope the colour due?
A16273How often would she flowers twine, how often garlands make: Of Cowslips and of Cullumbine, and all for Corins sake?
A16273How shall I her pretty tread expresse vvhen she dooth walke?
A16273How should I make an end of it, That am not able to begin?
A16273I doo loue thee as my Lambs Are beloued of their Dams, how blest were I if thou would''st prooue me?
A16273I know a simple Country Hinde, heigh hoe sillie Swaine: To whom faire Daphne prooued kinde, was he not kinde to her againe?
A16273I liue to sorrow, you to pleasure spring, why doo ye spring thus?
A16273IPre- thee keepe my Kine for me Carillo, wilt thou?
A16273If I aske him what he ayles, And whereof he iealous is?
A16273If I loue you, and you loue mee, Can there be better harmonie?
A16273If my firme loue I were denying, Tell me, with sighs would''st thou be dying?
A16273In contraries of such a kinde: Tell me what succour shall I 〈 ◊ 〉?
A16273In this great glory, and great gladnes, Think''st thou to haue no touch of sadnes?
A16273In what law find''st thou, that the freest reason And wit, vnto thy chaines should be subiected, And harmelesse soules vnto thy cruell murder?
A16273Is it because thy crueltie In killing me dooth neuer end?
A16273Is that loue?
A16273Is there a beast, a bird, a fish worth noate?
A16273Is''t fit an Eagle seate him with a Flie?
A16273It is too early yet, So soone from ioyes to flit, why art thou so vnkind?
A16273Loue at last( though loth) preuail''d, Loue that so my hart assail''d, Wounding me with her faire eyes Ah how Loue can subtillize?
A16273Loue makes earth the water drinke, Loue to earth makes water sinke: And if dumbe things be so wittie, Shall a heauenly grace want pittie?
A16273MElampus, when will Loue be void of feares?
A16273Melampus, tell me, when is Loue best fed?
A16273Melampus, tell me, when takes Loue least harme?
A16273Melampus, when is Loue most malecontent?
A16273Melampus, when is time in Loue ill spent?
A16273Melampus, when is time well spent in Loue?
A16273Melampus, when will Loue be throughly shrieued?
A16273Might not thy might suffise thee, but thy fuell Of force must be so cruell?
A16273My little Lad the Goddesse sayd, Who hath my Cupid so dismayd?
A16273My thoughts that now such passions hate O what meane ye?
A16273Now I see, and seeing sorrow that the day consum''d, returnes not: Who dare trust vpon to morrow, when nor time, nor life soiournes not?
A16273O God, what if she''s lost, or if she stray Within this vvood, where trees so thick doo grow?
A16273O no, for how can I aspire, To more, then to mine owne desire?
A16273O seest thou not the Sunne passe to the West?
A16273O stay not time, but passe with speedie hast, And Fortune hinder not her comming now, O God, betides me yet this greefe at last?
A16273O who can sing her beauties best, or that remaines vnsung?
A16273Oh greefe and bitter anguish, For thee I languish, Faine I( alas) would hide it, Oh, but who can abide it?
A16273Oh how I liue to prooue, Whereto this solace tends?
A16273Oh why doo''st thou make such hast?
A16273Or else that such great tirannie, should dwell in vvomans hart?
A16273Or what excesse that is not amply payed, Or suffer more, that I haue not endured?
A16273Or where one loues, so constant beene, Who euer saw such woe?
A16273PAssed contents, Oh what meane ye?
A16273PHaebe sate, Sweete she sate, sweete sate Phaebe when I saw her, White her brow Coy her eye, brow and eye, how much you please me?
A16273Phaebe sate By a Fount, sitting by a Fount I spide her, Sweete her touch, Rare her voyce, touch and voyce, what may distaine you?
A16273Phillida my true- Loue, is it she?
A16273SAy that I should say, I loue ye?
A16273SHall I say that I loue you, Daphne disdainfull?
A16273SHall we goe daunce the hay?
A16273SHeepheard, saw you not my faire louely Phillis, Walking on this mountaine, or on yonder plaine?
A16273SHeepheard, what''s Loue, I pray thee tell?
A16273SHeepheard, who can passe such wrong, And a life in woes so deepe?
A16273SHeepheard, why doo''st thou hold thy peace?
A16273Sences which seeke my starre so cleare and bright, By making heere and there your thoughts estray: Tell me, what will you feele before her sight?
A16273Shall I dye, shall I perrish, through her vnkindnes?
A16273Shall I say what doth greeue mee?
A16273Shall the hills, shall the valleyes, the fieldes the Cittie, With the sound of my out- cryes, moue her to pittie?
A16273Shall we goe learne to kisse?
A16273Shall we goe learne to woo?
A16273Shall we goe sing the Song?
A16273Shew thy selfe Cinthia with thy siluer rayes, And be not abasht, When she the beames of her beauty displayes, Oh how art thou dasht?
A16273Such great affection doo''st thou beare me: As by thy words thou seem''st to sweare me?
A16273Sunne why doo''st thou goe so fast?
A16273Sweet louely twaine, what might you be?
A16273Sweete( alas) why saine you thus?
A16273TEll me thou gentle Sheepheards Swaine, Who''s''s yonder in the Vale is set?
A16273THe cause why that thou doo''st denie To looke on me, sweete foe impart?
A16273Tell me ô haire of gold, If I then faultie be: That trust those killing eyes I would, Since they did warrant me?
A16273Tell me, haue ye beheld her Angels face, Like Phoebe faire?
A16273The Deere doo brouse vpon the bryer, the birds doo pick the cherries: And will not Beauty graunt Desire, one handfull of her berries?
A16273The Song?
A16273The hay?
A16273The word and faith I had of thee, O tell me now, where may they be, Or where may they resound?
A16273They are amaz''d, but you with reason armed, O eyes, ô eares of men, how are you charmed?
A16273They shewed themselues in open sight, poore Louers, Lord how they were mazde?
A16273Think I think that Loue should know ye?
A16273This loue that thou didst promise me, Sheepheard, where is it found?
A16273Thou onely art my Sheepheardesse, about Whose thoughts my soule shall finde her ioy and rest ▪ Why comm''st not then to assure it from doubt?
A16273To kisse?
A16273To woo?
A16273Trees, Rocks, and Flocks, what, are ye pensiue for my losse?
A16273VVho would beleeue thou wert so free, To blaze me thus each houre?
A16273WE loue, and haue our loues rewarded?
A16273WHat Sheepheard can expresse The fauour of her face?
A16273WHat are my Sheepe, without their wonted food?
A16273WHat chang''s heere, ô haire, I see since I saw you?
A16273WHat pleasure haue great Princes, more daintie to their choice, Then Heardmen wilde, who carelesse, in quiet life reioyce?
A16273Wants not a fourth Grace to make the daunce euen?
A16273What cruell minde, what angry breast displayed, With sauage hart, to fiercenes so adiured?
A16273What didst thou wish, tell me( sweete Louer,) Whereby thou might''st such ioy recouer?
A16273What fooles are they that haue not knowne, That Loue likes no lawes but his owne?
A16273What greater ioy can any man desire, Then to remaine a Captiue vnto Loue: And haue his hart subiected to his power?
A16273What haue I done, that I haue not acquitted?
A16273What if I beate the wanton boy with many a rod?
A16273What is my life, except I gaine my Loue?
A16273What life?
A16273What loue?
A16273What reason is''t that cruelty with beauty should haue part?
A16273What saucie merchant speaketh now, sayd Venus in her rage: Art thou so blinde thou knowest not how I gouerne euery age?
A16273What shall I doo, but say therefore, hey hoe, I hill loue no more?
A16273What though she be faire?
A16273What time then to hope among bitter hopes, that neuer sleepe?
A16273What wonder is it then, if I berent my haires: And crauing death continually, doo bathe my selfe in teares?
A16273What, after giuing me such store ▪ Of passions, doo''st thou mock me too?
A16273What, will not Boreas tempests wrathfull King, take some pitty on vs?
A16273When Craesus King of Lide, was cast in cruell bands, And yeelded goods and life into his enemies hands: What tongue could tell his woe?
A16273Who but could remember all Twinkling eyes still representing?
A16273Who but could remember this, The sweete odours of your fauour?
A16273Who hath such beautie seene, In one that changeth so?
A16273Who is it that calleth Coridon, who is it that I heare?
A16273Who would not this face admire?
A16273Who would not this sight desire, though he thought to see no more?
A16273Whose effect when Flora felt, Teares, that did her bosome melt,( For who can resist teares often, But she whom no teares can soften?)
A16273Why doo thy flocks forbeare their food, Which sometime were thy chiefe delight?
A16273Why doo''st thou thus torment my minde, And to what end thy beautie keepe?
A16273Why doost thou hurt his life with thy offences: That yeelds to thee his soule and inward sences?
A16273Why dooth the Sunne against his kind, Fixe his bright Chariot in the skies?
A16273Why looke these flowers so pale and ill, That once attir''d this goodly Heath?
A16273Why slide these brookes so slow away, Whose bubling murmur pleas''d thine eare?
A16273Would not such mortall griefe make milde and tender: But that, which my fell Sheepheardesse dooth render?
A16273Write that I doo write you blessed, will you write, t is but a writing?
A16273Yet Sheepheard, what is Loue, I pray?
A16273Yet from their beames proceedeth not this light, Nor can their Christalls such reflection giue: What then dooth make the Element so bright?
A16273Yet what is Loue, I pre- thee say?
A16273Yet what is Loue, good Sheepheard saine?
A16273Yet what is loue, good Shepheard show?
A16273Yet would''st thou change, I pre- thee tell me, In seeing one that did excell me?
A16273Yonder comes my Mother, Coridon, whether shall I flie?
A16273You golden Meades, why striue you to beguile my weeping anguish?
A16273kisse mee, I will leaue, heere a kisse receiue, a short kisse I doe it find: Wilt thou leaue me so?
A16273say, tell me, How thou( in greater fault and errour being Then euer I was thought) should''st thus repell me?
A16273who would not this Saint adore?
A16273will you not be moou''d with praying?
A16273will you thinke, t is but a thinking?
A16273would you say, t is but a saying?
A64483A little more: what makes you wet my Gown?
A64483A. Thy match is ready, and thy equal near: P. And what''s the prize?
A64483Am I deform''d?
A64483And have you firm posession of his Mind?
A64483And send us back more wealthy than we came?
A64483And thus the Youth reply''d, disdainful foe, Ah cruel Venus, cursed by all below?
A64483And what will He do there, rude artless Swain?
A64483And will You, by the Nymphs, grant one desire, Will you to neighbouring shady banks retire, And sit and pipe?
A64483And yet He found a cure, on Rocks He stood, And thus he sang, as he lookt o''re the stood: Fair Maid, and why dost thou thy Love despise?
A64483As then you gladly mixt to every guest, And poured on Cere''s Altars at her feast?
A64483But if this be so, what wi ● l becom ● of Macrobius, Georgius Valla, Julius caliger, Vossius, and the whole company of Grammarians?
A64483But if you needs must sleep, then sleep alone, But why must Helen too your Bride be gone?
A64483But where is Aegon?
A64483But where shall I begin?
A64483But who that lives below our pains regards?
A64483C. FLY Goats fly Laco, fly, and safely feed; He stole my skin last night, dear Goats take heed: L. Lambs do''nt you fly the springs?
A64483C. What ha''nt you heard?
A64483Cruel Alexis ca n''t my Verses move?
A64483D. All this shall be the Dowry of my Bride?
A64483D. And yet that empty thing is full of Bliss; S. I wash my mouth, and thus thy Kiss disdain; D. Dost wash my Dear?
A64483D. I''le buy a larger, and a better Gown: S. You promise all things now, but, when enjoy''d, What willt thou give?
A64483D. Yes I will: M. What will you lay, what equal to our fame?
A64483D. Yes Swain, I know my skill; M. And will you lay a wager?
A64483Didst thou ne''re wish for One that was away?
A64483Do''nt you play false, and sometimes milk a Cow, By stealth?
A64483Dost hate me, Phyllis?
A64483E. All is not well: T. I see''t, you look so thin, Your Face not washt, your Beard spread o''re your Chin, now?
A64483E. She is dear Gorgo, but how late you come?
A64483First Hermes came, and with a gentle touch He rais''d, and and askt him whom he loved so much?

A64483Hence''t is that I''me o''rerun with lazy ease, My Field''s neglected, and my Ploughs displease, M. But who thus wounds thee?
A64483Her bones are creeping thro the famisht skin: See you may tell her Ribs, her entrails view: What, like an Insect, doth she feed on Dew?
A64483How health, when I see men ne''re seen before?
A64483How real they appear?
A64483How short is that?
A64483How?
A64483Is all thy former wit, and vertue gone?
A64483L. And who will Sloes with Damzen Plums compare?
A64483L. The Pipe that Lycon gave, free haughty fool; But pray what skin was that that Laco stole?
A64483Lambs do n''t you fear, When He that lately stole my Pipe''s so near?
A64483Let me grow rich in wealth, and Those in sence, A Poet is the care of Providence: What need of more since Homer lives?
A64483Look, all these Flocks are mine, I''le still be true, And promise you no more than I can do: S. What shall I say when my old Friends shall blame?
A64483Lullus says it hath been done,) should we therefore reckon that divine and incomparable Master of Heroick Poetry amongst the Lyricks?
A64483M. Not I, for what have I that work for food To do with Love?
A64483M. Yes Child, t is I, G. Can we get in pray Mother?
A64483MAid, where''s my Lawrel?
A64483Maid, where''s the Potion?
A64483None now, as heretofore, infest the Street, Pick pockets, croud, and justle all they meet, What shall we do?
A64483Now I''me alone shall I lament my state?
A64483On Pindus Top, or Tempe''s open plain?
A64483Out you Whore; Must you do this now to confirm my fears?
A64483Philonda''s?
A64483Pray pull it out, dost see it?
A64483Pray what have you to say If we will talk?
A64483Priapus came from neighbouring shades, and said, Poor Daphnis, why dost pine?
A64483Seek those that will obey, Would you the Syracusian Weomen rule?
A64483Sir, as you see me, such I am: But what have you to do to tread these shores, Did e''re I come to trouble you on yours?
A64483So deeply skill''d in all the Arts of State?
A64483T. So late?
A64483T. The like to you; E. But why so late?
A64483Talk not of Presents thus, thy gifts I scorn, Nor have I any ready to return: P. May I not tast the Streams that idly flow?
A64483The Plowmen, Heardsmen, and the Sheapherds came, And askt what ill?
A64483The twelfth month came, when from the shades below Restord, what Beauty sate upon his Brow?
A64483Then, Milo, did you never wake for Love?
A64483Thus in Daphnis, Did not You Streams, and Hazels, hear the Nymphs?
A64483Unless a Poet with immortal Song Had told their fights, and made their Wars so long?
A64483WHose Herds?
A64483Wast Thou the ruine of my Dear?
A64483What Age could boast a Prince so great so good?
A64483What Fame once- female Cycnus Glory blown?
A64483What Mortal Pencil draw so sweet a line?
A64483What Mute?

A64483What feast invites, or now I view your dress, Who treads his Grapes, and calls you to the press?
A64483What have you danct too much?
A64483What mean the Shields and Spears, these Iron bands, And naked Weapons in your threatning Hands?
A64483What open hand doth pour out fit rewards?
A64483What shall I say of Virgil?
A64483What skin Comatas?
A64483What will not Milo do, that can perswade This Clown to leave his wealth, and court a shade?
A64483What''s that?
A64483When are we like to meet?
A64483Where careless Nymphs forgetful of the Swain?
A64483Where did the Nymphs reside, Where were you then when Daphnis pin''d and dy''d?
A64483Whilst bleating flocks do seek the shades and cool, And every Lizzard creeps into his hole?
A64483Who doth receive us when we offer Fame?
A64483Why must She leave her tender Mother thus?
A64483Why wo''nt you meet me now in yonder Grove Lean on my Breast, and Kiss, and call me Love?
A64483Why wo''nt you take me to the promis''d joy?
A64483Wine seiz''d your head, Or are you drowsy, that you must to Bed?
A64483You scorn''d his Bow, and you his Darts Disgrac''t; But Daphnis was not Love too strong at last?
A64483ah most relentless God, Why like a Leech still eager on his food, Dost wound my heart, and suck out all my blood?
A64483am I left at last?
A64483and what had rais''d the flame?
A64483and what shall He that conquers, gain?
A64483and who regards a Wit?

A64483to pipe on a slender Reed, and yet keep the sound from being harsh, and squeaking?
A64483to sing of mean, and trivial matters, yet not trivially, and meanly?

A46373101. what is a Bishop but the first Priest?
A463732, Whether are we to expect any immediate and extraordinary Call to the Ministry in these daies?

A463739. and afterward at Antioch, Act, 13?
A46373Adde further, that Ministers are called Gods Mouth, and how shall a man take upon him to be Gods mouth who is not sent from God?
A46373After this he puts this Question, Anne cessante ordinaria vocatione?
A46373And although the Apostle out of the sense of the weightiness of it, cried out, Who is sufficient for these things?
A46373And are not you preparing your selves and others to help on this slaughter?
A46373And do the Apostles live for ever?
A46373And how shall they preach except they be sent?
A46373And if our Ministry be Antichristian, how is their conversion Christian?
A46373And if so, Then we ask further what is meant by the Elders?
A46373And if there be a power by Scripture in the people to Ordain Ministers, why was Titus sent to Creete to Ordain Elders?
A46373And may not any man that is gifted preach, though he be not Ordained?
A46373And may therefore all exercise regall jurisdiction amongst men?
A46373And they say, just as Corah and his Company, You take too much upon you, yee sons of Levi ▪ Are not all the people of God holy?
A46373And who gave you this Authority?
A46373And who knowes not but circumstances may be wanting or corrupted, and yet the substance remain intire?
A46373Are Light and Stars necessary?
A46373Are Rulers, Shepherds, Stewards, Ambassadours, Husbandmen, Builders, Angels, Chariots and Horsmen necessary?
A46373Are all Prophets?
A46373Are all Prophets?
A46373Are all Teachers?
A46373Are not all made Kings?
A46373Are not all sinfull enough, naturally hating Teachers, and scorning to be reproved, being enemies to light and truth?
A46373But Ierom saith, It was toto orbe decretum, and how could this be but by Apostolical appointment?
A46373But from whence had he thi ● History?
A46373But how can this be, when the Apostle Paul himself tels us, that he was an Apostle, not of men, neither by men, but by Iesus Christ immediatly?
A46373But how long was it that the Church of Christ was governed by the common Councel of Presbyters without a Bishop set over them?
A46373But how was Paul sure that he should live to write a second?
A46373But how will it be proved ▪ may some say, That these Chorepiscopi were onely Presbyters and not Bishops?
A46373But if a Master of a Family may instruct his own Family, why may he not preach in the publique Congregation?
A46373But if these were two of the seventy Elders, why doth Ioshua desire Moses to forbid them?
A46373But what then is the meaning of Moses prayer, Would God that all the Lords People were Prophets, and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them?
A46373But why did not they go unto the Tabernacle as the rest did?
A46373But why then do you your selves suffer men whom you call Probationers and Expectants for the Ministry, to preach without Ordination?
A46373But would you then have every man bound to keep constantly to the Minister under whom he lives?
A46373By what Authority do you these things?
A46373Christ makes answer by demanding another question, The Baptisme of Iohn, was it from heaven or of men?
A46373Could they answer as Christ?
A46373Do not most of your Arguments symbolize with the Romanists as if they were arrows shot out of their quiver?
A46373Do you cry out Antichrist, Antichrist, and yet crucifie Christ again in his members?
A46373Do you not hereby wound all the Reformed Churches, darkning the beauty, and obstructing the progresse of Reformation?
A46373Doth God do thus to those that run and are not sent?
A46373Doth not this opinion greatly endanger the souls of others?
A46373Enviest thou, for my sake?
A46373Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head?
A46373For what are we the better that there is a Ministery by Divine institution, if our Ministry be of man, and not of God?
A46373For what juncture of r ● ● son would be in this?
A46373Had we that same ingenuity we should return the same answer in the sense of our spirituall disability; How can we except some man guide us?
A46373Hast thou considered their work of faith, labour of love, patience of hope?
A46373Hath not the Lord greatly testified from Heaven against this Tenent in his spirituall Judgements upon many the great promoters of it?
A46373Have not they preached and pressed to the conscience the practical points of Christianity?
A46373How can glory be given to God in the Church throughout all ages, if there should be an age in which the Church should be utterly lost?
A46373How can the Sacrament be continued in the Church till Christ come, if there were so many hundred years in which there was no true Ministery?
A46373How harsh and unpleasant is such an expression?
A46373How is it that ye are not afraid to speak evil of the servants of the Lord, set up by his Spirit for the defence of the Gospel?
A46373How little hath been the Progresse of the Protestant Religion ever since?
A46373How may we distinguish between an immediate Call from God, and the imposture of men that say they are so called when they are not?
A46373How may we distinguish between an immediate Call from God; and the imposture of fanatick men that say they are so called, and are not?
A46373How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A46373How shall they hear without a preacher?
A46373How shall they preach except they be sent?
A46373I am against them saith the Lord: a fearfull commination; If God be against them who shall be with them?
A46373If a Minister made by a Bishop be a lawfull Minister, why then did you in your late covenant abjure Episcopacy with all its dependencies?
A46373If all were the eye, where were the hands and feet?
A46373If any demand, how shall we know when Christ spake to them as Apostles?
A46373If it alwaies remained firm, what need a new Ordination?
A46373If thou hast not, why wilt thou speak evil of things and persons thou knowst not?
A46373If your principles about an universall liberty be true, why are you so untrue to your own principles?
A46373In brief, shall an exact scrutiny passe upon such as are to feed the bodies of poor men, and not upon such as feed the souls?
A46373In the same Epistle he saith,( a) Reverence the Bishop as ye ● do Christ, at the holy Apostles have commanded; But where is this commanded?
A46373In times of former trouble, How did Professors live sincerely, love fervently, pray, and fast, and mourn together?
A46373Is Sa ● ● necessary?
A46373Is any sick among you?
A46373Is it not meant the Church of Hierusalem, to which place they are said to come?
A46373Is it not the great work of Antichrist to destroy our Ministers, to smite the Shepherd that the Flock may be scattered?
A46373Is not this opinion the sad abuse of the great liberty now enjoyed?
A46373Is not this to offer manifest violence to the Scriptures?
A46373Is not this to partake of Antichrists sin?
A46373Man, who made me a Iudge or divider over you?
A46373May all be Magistrates?
A46373May not private men preach as well as they?
A46373Might not the people say, What need Paul leave Titus to do that which we can do our selves?
A46373Now is there not a reall distinction( as well as nominall) betwixt the Flock and Pastor, the Sheep and the Shepherd?
A46373Now then we demand, If the people have no Office- power belonging to them, how can they by Election make an Officer?
A46373Now to perform any authoritative act without authority, what is it other then to usurp authority?
A46373Now we demand, who were these Elders?
A46373Now why are all these qualifications required?
A46373Now with whom did Paul spend his three years?
A46373Of what Church?
A46373Or why may not a Justice of Peace send Warrants out of his own County?
A46373Or why might not Vzziah as well offer Incense in the Temple as pray in his own Family?
A46373Otherwise to what purpose are they inhibited?
A46373Secondly, All are made Priests unto God, but are all made Prophets?
A46373Shall Souldiers have no pay because when they are lawfully called forth they offer themselves freely to serve the publike?
A46373Shew us your warrant out of the Word?
A46373THat when Hierome saith, Quid facit Episcopus quod non facit Presbyter except ● Ordinatione?
A46373Tell us by what authority doest thou these things, or who gave thee this authority?
A46373The Apostle doth not say, How shall they preach except they be gifted( though this be true) but how shall they preach except they be sent?
A46373The Apostle useth a four- fold gradation, How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A46373The Saints are to be united( and what tears are sufficient to lament our present Divisions?)
A46373These holy Ministers were the precious members of Christ, and will you make them as much as is in you the members of an harlot?
A46373They are called Teachers, and doth not the holy Ghost evidently distinguish betwixt them that do instruct and those that are instructed?
A46373This is confuted by the next words in the Text, How shall they preach except they be sent?
A46373This is in it self a truth of clearest evidence: What needs a peculiar Officer to be set apart to a common work?
A46373This promise can not be confined to the persons of Apostles; for where are the Prophets and Evangelists?
A46373To what purpose did Paul and Barnabas go from place to place to ordain Elders?
A46373To what purpose then is Imposition of hands used, if the extraordinary gifts of the holy Ghost be not conveighed thereby?
A46373Was Valentinus Gentilis therefore a friend and Martyr to God the Father, because he died as an enemy to God the Son?
A46373Was it not the peculiar priviledge of the Apostles, Evangelists,& c. to have their Commission extended to all Churches?
A46373We demand what is meant by the Church?
A46373We demand, by whom shall these be baptized?
A46373We demand, who was the Bishop of Ephesus that Paul sent for?
A46373What are we the better that there is a Ministry from Christ, if our Ministry be from Antichrist?
A46373What is meant by the word Office?
A46373What is meant by the word Presbytery?
A46373What part hath the Ruling Elder in Ordination?
A46373Where is the necessity laid upon them( as the Apostle speaks of himself) that they preach the Gospel?
A46373Whether a company of Believers associated together may ordain without Ministers?
A46373Whether are we to expect any immediate Call in these daies?
A46373Whether may one Preaching Presbyter lay on hands without the assistance of other Ministers?
A46373Whether the Call of the first Reformers of Religion from the Errours of Popery, was an immediate Call or no?
A46373Whether this Presbytery was a Presbytery of Bishops, or of single Presbyters?
A46373Whether this Presbytery were Congregational or Classical?
A46373Who art thou that givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit?
A46373Who planteth a Vineyard and doth not eat thereof?
A46373Who then is Paul, and who Apollo, but Ministers by whom ye believe?
A46373Why are your professed principles so uneven, and you so contradictory to your own principles?
A46373Why did they not spare their journey, and send to the people to make their own Ministers by Election?
A46373Why should you strengthen the hands of sinners?
A46373Why then do they not celebrate them?
A46373Why was Titus left in Crete to appoint Elders in every City?
A46373Will any sober Christian believe that these were members of the Roman Harlot?
A46373Would not all these injunctions about such an Office be superfluous, if such an Office were not by Divine Institution?
A46373and after many arguments, why doth the Apostle make that appeal?
A46373and also when he was an Apostle( as Calvin saith) long before this time?
A46373and hath not the Lord set a visible seal to their Ministry in the souls of thousands?
A46373and herein do not you gratifie the common Adversary, and strengthen their hands?
A46373and instead of upholding of Episcopacy is not this sufficient to render it odious and contemptible to all sober and Godly and Moderate Christians?
A46373and may not this rise from the spirit of delusion which worketh strongly in the Children of disobedience?
A46373and when to them as Christians?
A46373and why did Paul leave Titus in Crete to ordain Elders in every City?
A46373and why must he be so carefull to see them first fit, in case his laying on of hands would fit them?
A46373if they finde not acceptance with God, all that approbati ● n and applause which they finde from men, what will it profit?
A46373nisi quia Episcopi& Presbyteri unae Ordinatio est?
A46373or was there ever a second?
A46373was not that extraordinary?
A46373were these also Bishops of Hierusalem?
A46373when to them as Ministers?
A46373where our Saviour Christ refuseth to meddle with dividing Inheritances, because he was no Judge; Man, who made me a Iudge?
A46373who ● nows not it would not?
A46373why did the Apostles visit the Churches they had planted, to Ordain Elders in every Church?
A46373why then may they not preach?
A46373will this answer consist with our Brethrens judgment?
A26932& c. whether you bid them or not?
A26932( mihi) Quid ingrati sumus?
A26932( what the Lords Supper is?)
A26932* How oft doth Christ teach them publikely and apart?
A269322. Who knows how God may bless his Ordinance, even to them?
A2693221.?
A269323. Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you?
A269324 Our voluntary undertaking the Charge of souls will condemn us; For all men should be true to the trust, that they have undertaken?
A269326 Whether they ought not to hold communion in publike worship, and Church- relation, with those that are so far agreed, and walk in the fear of God?
A269329. and yet dare you neglect them?
A26932A Diocesan Bishop is the Ruler of all the Pastors and Churches in a Diocess: Is such a Pastor one of these?
A26932A Pope is the pretended head of the Catholike Church, and an universal Bishop to govern it; Are single ruling Pastors such?
A26932A good stomack will not say at a feast, what a slavery is it to bestow my time and pains so much to feed my self?
A26932Ait enim Christus: Quicquid liga veritis in terris,& c. Quid igitur agunt qui impediunt Ecclesiam ne sententiam Domini pronunciet?
A26932Alas Neighbour, what if you had dyed before this hour in an unconverted state what had become of you?
A26932Alas what is it that we have to be proud of?
A26932All the Disputations and eager contests that we have had against unfaithful men, and for a faithful Ministry, will condemn us, if we be unfaithful?
A26932All this trouble then, and stir of the Nation, hath been to bring the work to your hands: and shall it dye there?
A26932And 1. what cause have we to bleed before the Lord this day, that have neglected so great and good a work so long?
A26932And I would that were all, or the worst: But alas how frequently doth it go with us to our studies, and there set with us and do our work?
A26932And O what a world of work have you to do?
A26932And O what hainous aggravations do accompany this sin?
A26932And a good Physitian look after every particular Patient?
A26932And a good Schoolmaster look to every individual Scholler, both for instruction and correction?
A26932And alas how weak are those of us that seem strongest?
A26932And are these works to be done with a careless mind, or a lazy hand?
A26932And are we not then in the matter agreed?
A26932And can it be expected that God should much bless the labours of such men as these?
A26932And can you think that any unsanctified man can be hearty and serious in the ministerial work?
A26932And do you think God doth not require you to do all the good you can?
A26932And do you think it safe to live and dye in such a known sin?
A26932And doth any man live more to himself then the proud?
A26932And doth it not then concern us to take heed?
A26932And doth not common honesty bind you to be true to your trust?
A26932And doth not this Objection of yours plainly give up your cause to the Separatists?
A26932And especially how commonly are those duties neglected, that are like if performed to diminish our estates?
A26932And for the second, How common is it with Ministers to drown themselves in worldly business?
A26932And good Commanders look after every individual souldier?
A26932And have not such sinners as we, need to do so?
A26932And how can you talk against unfaithful Ministers, while you are so unfaithful your selves?
A26932And how much vanity and evil it will prevent?
A26932And how sadly do many Ministers come off in this part of their tryal?
A26932And how should we be humbled without a plain Confession of our sin?
A26932And if I ask further Can you be saved without the death of that?
A26932And if it be Sacrament Controversies which he raiseth, tell him it is necessary, that you be first agreed, what Baptism is?
A26932And if it had no enemy but what is in themselves, how easily will a frozen carnal heart, extinguish those sparks which you have been long in kindling?
A26932And if this may not be done, What do we here to day?
A26932And if we fail through weakness, how will they insult?
A26932And if you pity them, will you not do this much for their salvation?
A26932And is it not then our wisest course to see that God be our friend, and to do that which tendeth most to engage him in our defence?
A26932And is there nothing in all this to awaken us to our duty, and to resolve us to speedy and unwearied diligence?
A26932And no duty which you be not willing to perform?
A26932And see what a help these poor impenitent sinners have for their cure?
A26932And seeing the case of weakliness is comparatively so sad, how diligent should we be to cherish and encrease their grace?
A26932And shall any of his Messengers question the Authority of his commands?
A26932And shall we do that which we scarce ever see the most hardened sinner do?
A26932And should all Ministers refuse preaching if the Magistrate bid them not?
A26932And that they must be taught it in the most edifying advantagious way, I hope we are agreed?
A26932And then, we shal have the opportunity by personal conference to try them how far they understand it, and how far not?
A26932And these men count it a slavery to labour hard in his vineyard, and deny their ease, in a time when they have all accomodations and Encouragements?
A26932And time will shew you, whether God will suffer them to prevail with the Governors of this sinful land to betray the Gospel into their hands, or not?
A26932And what Evidence is the Church capable of, but their Profession of Repentance first, and their actual reformation afterwards?
A26932And what are the hindrances now that keep the Ministers of England from the Execution of that Discipline which they have so much contended for?
A26932And what do you think it was, that I delivered you for?
A26932And what doth every sin deserve?
A26932And what hindereth but you may joyn together if you will?
A26932And what is it that hath brought people to this ignorance of their duty, but custom?
A26932And what is the cause of all this misery?
A26932And what is your own Hope, or Joy, or Crown of rejoycing?
A26932And what was all this for?
A26932And what would you have more?
A26932And when I ask them whether their deeds can Merit any thing of God?
A26932And when a work is like to prove difficult and costly, how backward are we to it, and make excuses and will not come on?
A26932And who knows not how many of these men are yet alive?
A26932And who would not have been afraid to contradict the Gospel, that had seen ● l ● mas smitten blind?
A26932And why might we not have done it sooner as well as now?
A26932And will he be true to Christ that is in Covenant with his enemy, and Christ hath not his heart?
A26932And will he do any great harm to the Kingdom of the Devil, that is himself a member and subject of that Kingdom?
A26932And will the sin of one excuse the other?
A26932And will you be Proud of that which the Devils do excell you in?
A26932And will you betray it, or neglect it after all this?
A26932And yet so it is, and so it hath too plainly proved: and whence is all this strange deceit of heart?
A26932Annon reus esset laesae Majestatis Caesareae, siquis ejus judicem ne sententiam Caesaris pronunciet impediat?
A26932Are all mens hearts so deceitful?
A26932Are all the penalties against Swearers, Cursers, Drunkards, Peace- breakers, Sabboth- breakers,& c. nothing?
A26932Are any of them loving to their party, and contemners of the world?
A26932Are not both agreed, that Professors of true faith and holiness, cohabiting and consenting, are a true Church?
A26932Are not such and such as learned as you?
A26932Are not their sufferings our warnings?
A26932Are not these reasons as valid against Christianity it self in some times and places, as now against Discipline?
A26932Are the Keyes of Christs Kingdom so unmeet and useless, that they will not open and shut without the help of the sword?
A26932Are the souls of men thought meet by God to see his face, and live for ever in his glory, and are they not worthy of your utmost cost and labour?
A26932Are there so many Traytors in our very hearts, and is it not time for us to take heed?
A26932Are we not men, frail and corruptible flesh, unworthy sinners like themselves?
A26932Are you Angels, or men?
A26932Are you not of the same Generation of sinners, that need his grace as much as they?
A26932Are you wiser then all the Ministers in the Countrey?
A26932Art thou in earrest or in jest?
A26932As E. G. What is God?
A26932As if they had even wrestled for salvation it self?
A26932As though Paul might not go preaching the Gospel in Ephesus?
A26932As, E. G.[ What do you think becomes of men when they are dead?
A26932At the utmost sure you would allow him none but of necessity?
A26932BUT what likelyhood is there that men will be informed or converted by this means, that will not by the preaching of the word?
A26932Be they three offices, or but one: and be they all?]
A26932Brethren can you look believingly on your miserable neighbours, and not perceive them calling for your help?
A26932Brethren, in the fear of God consider, Why is it that God hath done all this?
A26932Brethren, may I take leave a little to expostulate this case with my own heart and you, that we may see the shame of our sin and be reformed?
A26932Burnt and wasted we must be, and is it not fitter it should be in lighting men to heaven, and in working for God, then in living to the flesh?
A26932But alas, for the most part, even of those that we take for Godly Ministers, how reservedly and how negligently do we go through our work?
A26932But dare we preferr our carnal ease, and quietness, and the love or peace of wicked men, before our service to Christ our Master?
A26932But dare you say so by the souls of men even by the Church of God?
A26932But especially, What an excellent life is it to live in the studies and preaching of Christ?
A26932But further, What is it that you would have the Magistrate to do?
A26932But if Discipline( in its place) be necessary too, what is it but enmity to mens salvation to exclude it?
A26932But if they are taken for members, how can we satisfie our consciences to forbear all execution of Discipline upon them?
A26932But if they be as unwilling as ignorant, how much more difficult is it?
A26932But if you could not suffer for Christ, why did you put your hand to his plough?
A26932But is not Government of great concernment to the good of souls, as well as Preaching?
A26932But is not the meaning, that you will not bear the trouble and hatred which it will occasion?
A26932But is this much done?
A26932But to have such a multitude of these, as most of us have, what work will it find us?
A26932But to what purpose is all this, when most of the people will not submit?
A26932But what if the Magistrate will not help us?
A26932But what need we add more, when experience speaks so loud?
A26932But what obligation lyeth on us to tye our selves to certain daies for the performance of this work?
A26932But what remedy?
A26932But what should a Minister do that findeth he hath quite lost his interest in them?
A26932But what singular thing do you with your estates for your Masters use?
A26932But what''s the matter that wise and godly Rulers should be thus guilty of our misery, and that none of our cries will awake them to compassion?
A26932But where is there any such promise to the ungodly, that are not the children of the promise?
A26932But why may not occasional Conference and Instructions serve the turn?
A26932But will it never be a fit season?
A26932But will you deny to Bishops the power of making Canons?
A26932But you may say, This is not confessing sin, but applauding those whose sins you pretend to confess?
A26932By favouring their sin you will shew your enmity to God,& then how can you love your brother?
A26932Can he dye?
A26932Can sloathful servants look for a good reward?
A26932Can so much work, and such work as this be done by raw unqualified men?
A26932Can we once conceive of him as purposely washing and wiping his servants feet, and yet be stout and Lordly still?
A26932Can we think that a man can be too careful and painful under all these motives and engagements?
A26932Can you hear them cry to you, as the man of Macedonia to Paul in his vision, come and help us?
A26932Can you possibly make your selves believe that you shall have a comfortable review of these neglects, or make a comfortable account of them unto God?
A26932Can you see them as the wounded man by the way, and unmercifully pass by?
A26932Can you think that holy wisdom will gain- say it?
A26932Can you think to be saved then by your Clergy?
A26932Caveane ludi publici, au atrium Dei?
A26932Convince them what a contradiction it is to be a Christian, and yet to refuse to learn; For what is a Christian but a Disciple of Christ?
A26932Dare you like idle Gossips, chat and trifle away your time, when you have such works as these to do, and so many of them?
A26932Desire also to know of them, whether they have any truth of God to reveal to them, that you do not reveal?
A26932Did Paul cry out, who is sufficient for these things?
A26932Did it threaten eternal torment to the soul only, or to the body also?
A26932Did it threaten hell fire, or only temporal death?
A26932Did the first Covenant of Nature make any promise of everlasting celestial glory?
A26932Did we think when we were writing against this sect, and the sect that opposed Discipline, that we were writing all that against our selves?
A26932Did you ever find the spirit of God by the word, come in upon your understanding, with a new heavenly life, which hath made you a new creature?
A26932Did you not all this while know that you must shortly dye, and be judged as you were then found?
A26932Did you not know, that you had a soul to save or lose?
A26932Did you think as ill of sin as you spoke?
A26932Do any of them express a hatred of sin, and desire of Church Reformation?
A26932Do any of them use to spend their time when they meet together in holy discourse, and not in vain janglings?
A26932Do not grudge at this now and say, This is a hard saying, who can bear it?
A26932Do not many families in your Parish live on less?
A26932Do these men delight in Holiness, that account it a slavish work?
A26932Do you believe indeed that such Glory attends those that dye in the Lord, and such Torment attendeth those that dye unconverted?
A26932Do you believe that you have any sin?
A26932Do you know the Iudgement of God, that they that commit such things are worthy of death, and yet will you do them?
A26932Do you long to see it upon the souls of your hearers?
A26932Do you not know that it is your own benefit which you grudge at?
A26932Do you think Christ will suffer all men to be as cruel, unmerciful, fleshly and self- seeking as you?
A26932Do you think so basely of the Church of God, as if it deserved not the best of your care and help?
A26932Do you think that all that you can get in this world will comfort you at a dying hour, or purchase your salvation, or ease the pains of Hell- fire?
A26932Do you think that heaven is not worth your labour?
A26932Do you think that it is a likely thing, that he will fight against Satan with all his might, that is a servant to Satan himself?
A26932Dost thou believe what thou saist?
A26932Doth any forbid them, or threaten them if they do it?
A26932Doth he think that Gods truth is not worth his study?
A26932Doth it not make you tremble when you open the Bible, lest you should read there the Sentence of your own Condemnation?
A26932Doth not a careful Shepherd look after every individual Sheep?
A26932Doth not reason and conscience tell you, that if you dare venture on so high a work as this, you should spare no pains to be fitted to perform it?
A26932Doth not that threatning make us tremble?
A26932Doth not the nature and end of the duty plainly tell you that an appointed time conduceth to the orderly successful performance of it?
A26932Doth not this plainly bind us to the private as well as the publike part of our duty?
A26932Doth such a one as Paul say?
A26932Doth the secular Power forbid you to do it, or threaten or trouble you for not doing it?
A26932E. G. I have oft asked some very ignorant people, How do you think of your sins, so many and great sins shall be pardoned?
A26932E. G[ What is God?
A26932Ergo imperfecta est patrum castitas, si non item& filiorum accumuletur?
A26932Et qui intra ● t Ecclefiasticam domum, ut mala antiqua defleant, exeunt;& quid dico exeunt?
A26932Et quid hoc, proh nefas, mali est?
A26932Et templum omnes magis sectentur, au theatrum?
A26932Et virum uxoris sobrium, prudentem?
A26932For even now these wretched men, while they pretend themselves the servants of Christ, and are asking, What Authority we have for his work?
A26932For how can a wretched sinner of so great transgressions, presume to justifie himself with God?
A26932For how can an impenitent unreformed people expect to be sheltered by Holiness it self?
A26932For how can we take heed to them, if we do not know them?
A26932For instance; What hath been for more talked of, and prayed for, and contended about in England for many years past, then the business of Discipline?
A26932For then how great, and how manifold will our condemnation be?
A26932For what care I what Minister they hear or obey, so it be one that leadeth them in the waies of truth and holiness?
A26932For what else should we do?
A26932For what is true Holiness but a devotedness to God and a living to him?
A26932For what man will put himself upon such a toilsom life; or what Parents will choose such a burden for their children?
A26932For what speedyer way is there for the depraving and undoing of the people, then the pravity of their Guides?
A26932For will you perswade others to that which you will not do( as far as you can) your selves?
A26932HAving shewed you, What it is to Take heed to our selves, and Why it must be done?
A26932Hactenus Christus rexit Ecclesiam suam hac Disciplinâ;& ipsi Principes, imo& Ministri aliquot, nolunt eam sic regi?
A26932Had he any beginning?
A26932Had they rather men went to Hell, then be taught the way to Heaven by Presbyters that had not their Imposition of hands?
A26932Had you any greater work to do?
A26932Had you but one ignorant old man or woman to teach, though willing to learn, what a tedious task is it?
A26932Hath Christ bid you use the Keyes of the Kingdom, and avoid a scandalous sinner upon condition that the Magistrate will punish him with the sword?
A26932Hath Christ put a leaden sword into your hands, when he bids you smite the obstinate sinner?
A26932Hath God been hewing us out a way with his sword, and levelling opposers by his terrible Judgements, and yet will we sit still or play the sluggards?
A26932Hath God brought down these enemies of godliness, and persecutors and depopulaters of his Church, and would you make a league with them again?
A26932Hath any one suffered for our sins in our stead, or must we suffer for them our selves?
A26932Hath any thing in the world done more to lose our authority, and disable us for Gods service then our differences and divisions?
A26932Hath the Ministry suffered nothing in England, Scotland, and Ireland?
A26932Have I done and suffered so much for their salvation?
A26932Have not many able Ministers in the Prelates daies been glad of less, with liberty to preach the Gospel?
A26932Have not many of us cause to enquire once& again, Whether sincerity will consist with such a measure of Pride?

A26932Have you done all that you could with your friends and neighbours to get maintenance for another to help you?
A26932Have you found such a change or work as this upon your soul?
A26932Have you none in your Parish, not one or two to make Ruling Elders of, that by their conjunction you may be authorised to do more then now you do?
A26932Have you not so much maintenance yourself as might serve your self and another?
A26932He may make known to the Church that God hath commanded them, with such a one no not to eat?
A26932He will not hold him guiltless, that by false Oaths, or Vows, or Covenants with him doth take his holy Name in vain?
A26932Hospitalem?

A26932How can you build if you first lay not a good foundation?
A26932How can you call out with serious servour upon poor sinners to repent and come in to God, that never Repented or came in your selves?
A26932How can you chuse, when you are laying a Corps in the grave, but think with your selves, Here lieth the body, but where is the soul?
A26932How can you open your mouthes against oppressors, when your selves are so great oppressors, not only of mens bodies but their souls?
A26932How can you set your selves day and night to a work that your carnal hearts are averse from?
A26932How canst thou tell people that sin is such a thing, and that so much misery is upon them and before them, and be no more affected with it?
A26932How couldst thou Preach of Heaven and Hell, in such a careless sleepy manner?
A26932How far is this from forsaking all?
A26932How few Ministers do Preach with all their might?
A26932How few be there that understand the true state of Controversies between the several parties?
A26932How few have I ever heard that heartily prest their people to their duty in this?

A26932I believe they are all slack and faulty; but are not we much more faulty?
A26932I can not but advise these men to search their own hearts, whether they unfeignedly believe that word, that they preach?
A26932I know I must shortly leave this world, and I am afraid lest I shall be miserable in the next I Could you deny your help to such a sinner?
A26932I know it is a great dispute whether preaching be proper to the Ministers or not?
A26932I know some have more discouragements and hinderances then others: But what discouragements can excuse us from such a duty?
A26932I know that Discipline is not essential to a Church; but what of that?

A26932If it be not, why do you tell men so?
A26932If it must needs be many Pastors conjunct, that must exercise any act of Discipline, why is it not so done?
A26932If it was used in a much greater measure, by men so wise and holy as these, why should it in a lower measure be dis- allowed in another?

A26932If they have not, why should they desire needlesly to tell them what they are daily told by you?
A26932If they keep away themselves, is not that a sin which a brother should not be permitted to remain in?

A26932Is it necessity or not that hath cast you upon such a charge?
A26932Is it not a fearful deceit of heart for a man to think himself a godly Minister for finding fault with them that are less faulty then himself?
A26932Is it not a scandal for them to avoid the Ordinances of God and the Communion of the Church for so many years together as they do?
A26932Is it not just with God to give him over to delusion, that will not be at a little pains to be informed, nor afford the truth an equal hearing?
A26932Is it not more reason that you should pinch your flesh and family, then undertake a work that you can not do, and neglect the souls of so many men?

A26932Must we be patient to be ruined by them, and have they not the patience to hear of it?
A26932Nay is not your meaning, that you would have the Magistrate to do your work for you?
A26932Nay it is meer mercy in him that imposeth this great duty upon us?
A26932Nay when they can patiently live in the houses with riotous profane persons, and not follow them seriously and uncessantly for their change?

A26932Religionis Habeatur plane,& maximus: Nam quis ille est tam invidus hominibus, tam exosus Deo, qui isiud probibere conetur?
A26932Sed for sitan dicit aliquis: Nullusneergo in Ecclesiâ Christi profectus haeb ● bitur?
A26932Sed quid erit, ubi nec pater, nec filius, mali genitoris exemplo privatus, conspicitur castus?
A26932Sed quomodo vos aliquid solvetis, ut sit solutum,& in coelis, à coelo ob scelera adempti,& immanium peccatorum funibus compediti?
A26932Shall I take this therefore for a truth which the Church then held?
A26932Shall Ministers study, and preach, and pray for you, and shall they be despised?
A26932Shall all the blood and cost of this People be frustrated, or not?
A26932Shall we hate them most, whom we are bound to love best?
A26932Shall we pamper our bodies, and give them their desires in unnecessary pleasures, when Paul must keep under his body, and bring it into subjection?
A26932Shall we say, This should not have been spoken of us in the ears of the people, but we should have been honoured before them?
A26932Shall we think it was shed for them that are not worthy of our utmost care?
A26932Shall we think that they have ceased their enterprise, because they are working more subtilly in the dark?
A26932Should Christ have com, or been our Head, or have brought us to glory, if man had not fallen?
A26932Should there have been any Resurrection of the body, if Christ had not come to procure it?
A26932Should they do their part in a subordinate office to protect and further us, and should not we do ours who stand nearest to the end?
A26932Si quis autem domui suae praeesse nescit, quomodo Ecclesiae Dei diligentiam adhibebit?
A26932Sirs, do you think they will be hearty and diligent to save men from hell, that be not heartily perswaded that there is a hell?
A26932So that if they had not been restrained and kept in quiet by the Emperor, how soon would they have made a sadder havock then they did?
A26932So that when we have quarrelled never so long, what is it but the Peoples consent that the moderate men on one side do require?
A26932So you have but food and rayment, must you not therewith be content?
A26932Such men have a promise of pardon from God; and shall men take us by the throat when God forgiveth us?
A26932Tell me Brethren, in the fear of God: Do you regard the success of your labours, or do you not?
A26932Tell them of such a Glory, and scarce speak a word to them personallly to help them to it?
A26932That good men should no better know themselves?
A26932That those Ordinances of God should be the Occasions of our delusion, which are instituted to be the means of our conviction and salvation?
A26932The Lord that seeth your heart doth know whether it be so or not?
A26932The Magistrates Leave we have; who hindereth or forbiddeth you to set up Discipline, and exercise it faithfully?
A26932The Nation may say, How oft did we beg it of God, and Petition the Parliament for it, and now the Ministers deny us the enjoyment of it?
A26932The Parliament may say, How long did we sit and consult about Reformation; and now the Ministers will not execute the power that is granted them?
A26932The great Objection that seemeth to hinder some from this work, is because we are not agreed yet, who it is that must do it?
A26932Then wo to poor Prelates?
A26932There is one more gone to Iudgement: what didst thou to prepare them for Iudgement?
A26932They ask, where are we bound to pray morning and evening?
A26932They will answer we hope so, or else we know not what will?
A26932Think when you rise in the morning, O what if this day should be my last, and death should find me in an unrenewed state?
A26932Thou that makest thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God?
A26932Thou that saiest a man should not commit adultery, or be drunk, or covetous, art thou such thy self?
A26932Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thy self?
A26932To bind heavy burdens for others, and not to touch them our selves with a finger?
A26932To this end their design is partly to cry them down as false teachers( but how are they baffled when it comes to the proof?)
A26932To whom I say, why do you not on the same grounds forbear going to Christ, and say You love to live privately?
A26932WHat it is to Take heed to all the Flock?
A26932Was Adam bound to believe in Christ?
A26932Was Christ a creature before his Incarnation, or the Creation?
A26932Was it a Covenant of Works, or of Grace that was made by Moses?
A26932Was one, or two Covenants made with Adam before his fall?
A26932Was there ever a Nation on the race of the earth that hath so solemnly and so long, followed God with fasting and prayer as we have done?
A26932We feel much: we fear more; and all''s for sin: and yet are we so hardly drawn to a Confession?
A26932We may take time for necessary Recreation for all this?
A26932We must study Humility, and Preach Humility; and must we not possess and practice it?
A26932We teach them in publike; and how then are we bound to teach them man by man besides?
A26932Were these such great matters with me at Church, and so small when I came home?]
A26932Were they now become more necessary then the Preaching of the Gospel, when in the Apostles times they were of no necessity or use at all?
A26932Were they worth my blood, and are they not worth thy labour?
A26932What I must we have new Laws made every time the old ones are broken?

A26932What Sanctification is?
A26932What Sanctification, Vocation, Regeneration?
A26932What Sirs shall we despise the blood of Christ?
A26932What Sirs, are you that are men of wisdom as dull as the common people?
A26932What a number of slye and subtile temptations must we open to our peoples eyes, that they may escape them?
A26932What a sad case is it that so vile a sin is no more easily discerned by us?
A26932What abundance of distemperers, and lusts, and passions, do you cast your gracious words amongst?
A26932What abundance of good might we do, could we but bring our people to this?
A26932What an Obligation then is laid upon us by our call?

A26932What beams would these be in your eyes that now seem motes, if you did but see them with a clearer light?
A26932What can they see in our Persons or Countenances for which they should so doate upon us?
A26932What can we call it less?

A26932What can you say to this in judgement?
A26932What change must be made on all that shall be saved?
A26932What comfort will it be at death, that you lengthened your life by shortening your work?
A26932What difference between their pulpit speeches and their familiar discourse?
A26932What do you as Church- Governors against these same sins?
A26932What doth the number we speak to make it preaching?

A26932What hast thou said to them or done for their recovery?
A26932What have we our time and strength for, but to lay it out for God?
A26932What if Ephesus and each other City or Church had then but one Presbyter?
A26932What if God will accept a Physitian though the Patient dye?
A26932What if they be Lords, or Knights, or Gentlemen?
A26932What if they came to your Study- door, and cryed for help, and would not away, till you had told them how to escape the wrath of God?
A26932What if they should pay us in our own coyn?
A26932What if they were lawful?

A26932What, say they,( when a Minister doth his duty alone) Must we he ruled by every singular man?
A26932What, shall the same tongue speak evil, that speaketh against evil?
A26932What?
A26932When do you look to see all these difficulties over, that you may set upon that which you now avoid?
A26932When once the fa ● our of a Christ ● an Prince did shine upon the Churches, what self- exaltation and contention of the Prelates did ensue?
A26932When they have plowed the field, will you sow it by the halves?
A26932When they should ask, What should I say, and how should I say it, to please God best, and do most good?
A26932When you are studying what to say to them, I know these are your thoughts( or else they are naught and to no purpose) How should I get within them?
A26932Where is our chief Happiness?
A26932Whereas if you be the means of their through- sanctification, how many souls may bless you, and what greater good can you do the Church?
A26932Whether God have scientiam mediam?
A26932Whether he suppose that you may attain salvation, if you be true to so much as you are agreed in?
A26932Whether he that nameth him should not depart from iniquity?
A26932Whether it will save us to speak well of the grace that we are without?
A26932Whether only a Prelate?
A26932Who be they that God will pardon?
A26932Who can be reconciled to that which so lamentably crosseth his Masters interest, and his main end?
A26932Who can escape the censure of such men, but he that can unite the Saints by dividing them?
A26932Who can in study, preaching, or life, aliud agere be doing other matters, if he do but know, that This must be done?

A26932Who would ever have been burnt at a stake for Christ, if this reasoning had been good?
A26932Who would have been a Iudas that had seen him hanged and burst?
A26932Why Brethren, do you consider where you stand, and what you have taken upon you?
A26932Why Divines be not agreed, what they are themselves?
A26932Why do you in your disputes against the Prelates maintain that every Minister is a Bishop of his own Church; and do you now abhor it?
A26932Why may not written words that are still before their eyes and in their memories; instruct them, as well as the transient words of a Preacher?
A26932Why might not Augustine, Prosper, and all the rest mistake in such a thing, as that?
A26932Why should you think then that they will be satisfied with the empty sound of the word, Church- Government?
A26932Why sirs?
A26932Why then do we stand quarreling about the names?
A26932Why, whom will they then set over them in our stead?
A26932Will any work- man malign another because he helpeth him to do his masters work?
A26932Will it be in your daies?
A26932Will it not waken us to compassion to look upon a languishing man, and to think that within a few daies his soul will be in heaven or hell?
A26932Will it satisfie you to deal with one person of 20. or 40. or an hundred, and to pass by all the rest?
A26932Will you deal faithfully with your Creditors, and pay the Nation the debt which you owe them?
A26932Will you have better season for it, when you are dead?
A26932Will you make it your work to magnifie God, and when you have done, dishonour him as much as others?
A26932Will you preach his laws, and willfully break them?
A26932Will you proclaim Christs Governing Power, and yet contemn it, and rebel your selves?
A26932Will you stand by and see sinners gasping under the pangs of death, and say, God doth not require me to make my self a drudge to save them?
A26932Will zeal for God, will delight in his service, or love to the souls of men gain- say it?
A26932Would the maintenance of the place serve two others, that have less necessity, or smaller families then you?
A26932Would they not have separated from the whole Church on the same ground, if they had lived in these times?
A26932Would you forbear Sermons and Sacraments so many years on pretence of unseasonableness?
A26932Would you have a Law made to Punish you if you will not do your duty?
A26932Would you have people value your way of Government or not?
A26932Would you have the Magistrate to punish men eo nomine, because excommunicated, without any particular cognisance of the fact and case?
A26932Would you have your people be more careful of their souls, then you will be of yours?
A26932Would you not say, The work must be done, or we are all dead men: is the ship ready to sink, and do you talk of Reputation?
A26932Yea and to take the sole Government of them, while the particular Teachers of them are free from that undertaking?
A26932Yea or hazard the damnation but of one soul?
A26932Yea or who would ever have been a Christian?
A26932Yet if we had man only to plead our cause with, perhaps we might do much to make it good: but while God accuseth us, how shall we be justified?
A26932You blame the Magistrate for giving so much liberty; and is it not long of your selves that he doth so?
A26932You have neighbours that could learn more, that have had as much to do in the world as you, and as little time?
A26932You may see here it is not a little fault that negligent Pastors are guilty of?
A26932You pray for them in Publike: Must you not also pray for them in private?
A26932You speak hardly of all the Ministers about you?
A26932You will ask them perhaps What is God?
A26932[ Quid plura?
A26932[ What shall become of us after the end of this world?
A26932a heart of stone, or a very rock, or adamant, or the heart of a Tyger?
A26932and did not all this befall them for our examples?
A26932and did not first set down and count your costs?
A26932and do we need to heap up a multitude of words to perswade you to a known and weighty duty?
A26932and do you know that much of the Christian warfare consisteth in the combate between the flesh and the spirit?
A26932and encourage men to look out for better societties where that Discipline may be had?
A26932and for Christ to say, It was the purchase of my blood that thou didst so make light of, and dost thou think to be saved by it thy self?
A26932and hath not the Church always thought so, and practised accordingly?
A26932and have not some of them the faces to justifie all the former impositions and persecutions, and draw or continue the guile of it upon their heads?
A26932and have not we cause to fear it of our selves much more?
A26932and have pitty on them that have none upon your selves?
A26932and have there been no attempts for their overthrow?
A26932and how can he be his Disciple, that refuseth to be taught by him?
A26932and how can these men be fit for the Ministry that are such enemies to self- denyal, and so to true Christianity?
A26932and how can we think that they will much regard our counsel, while they abhor or dis- regard the persons that give it them?
A26932and how defective an answer must you make your selves?
A26932and how fully hath it been defended?
A26932and how high the same spirit yet is, and busily contriving the accomplishment of the same design?
A26932and how is it made?
A26932and how much happyer we might have made our Parishes, ere now?
A26932and is it tollerable evil in a man that is so engaged against him and his Kingdom as we are?
A26932and must they not shortly be as loathsom and abominable as the dung?
A26932and of how much moment is every part?
A26932and others sit still and look on it as a thing not worth the trouble: How many thousand persons may come to the condemnation of such men?
A26932and partly to perswade you that they have no calling to the work; and urge them to prove their calling( which how easily can we do?)
A26932and shall we shew it by forbearing our plain rebuke, and suffering their sin upon them?
A26932and so whether such exercises or repetitions be more necessary?
A26932and that the Presbyters might be but their curates and informers?
A26932and that they tremble not rather at the thoughts of so great an undertaking?
A26932and to a Real Reformation of Discipline in our practice?
A26932and to distrain for that by a yet sorer Judgement, which we denyed voluntarily to surrender to him?
A26932and was I willing to make thee a co- worker with me, and wilt thou refuse that little that lyeth upon thy hands?
A26932and what a delight would our conference of these things afford?
A26932and what a great defect is it to be ignorant of them?
A26932and what a number of those worlds?
A26932and what an Argument to condemn those that will not be quickned up to their duty by it?
A26932and what do you call your selves the Ministers of Christ for?
A26932and what have I done for it, before it departed?
A26932and what is a wicked and damnable state, but a devotedness to our carnal selves, and a living to our selves?
A26932and what is it that our hearts must be most set upon?]
A26932and what is my life worth, but to do him service?
A26932and what is the proper difference of a Regenerate man from all others?
A26932and what reason have such to fear least their money perish with them?
A26932and what reproach hath been cast upon the adversaries of it through the Land?
A26932and what should I say that is likely most effectually to convince them, and convert them, and tend to their salvation?
A26932and what sins more hainous then the betraying of souls?
A26932and what would you have more then that which may enable you for the work of God?
A26932and when God hath bid you, first seek his Kingdom and the righteousness thereof?
A26932and when men can not do their worldly business without knowledge, nor learn a trade without an apprentiship?
A26932and where had you now been?
A26932and wherein doth it consist?
A26932and whether God will hear their prayers, if they regard iniquity in their hearts?
A26932and whether a wicked Preacher shall stand in the Iudgement, or sinners in the Assembly of the just?
A26932and whether they should not go together from the very first?
A26932and who can be silent while souls are undone?
A26932and who shall be saved by the blood of Christ?
A26932and who shall hide our sins, when he will have them brought to light?
A26932and who would have been a lying sacrilegious hypocrite, that had seen ● nanias and Saphira dye?
A26932and whose favour can recompence for the ruines of the Church?
A26932and will he honour us, if we be idle and sensual?
A26932and will not the case of souls that are neer to damnation move you?
A26932and would we not have said as Hazael, Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?
A26932and yet dare we imitate them?
A26932and yet shall we forbear to use them?
A26932and yet those fore thoughts will not recover such working apprehensions?
A26932and yet will you entertain it against all these professions and testimonies of your own?
A26932and yet will you refuse your help?
A26932another will ask you, how you can be a true Minister, if you had your Ordination from Prelates?
A26932are they all so negligent?
A26932as if the Law were not sufficient because men break it?
A26932aut pr ● ter paucissim ● s qu ● sdam qui mala fugiunt, quid est aliud pene omnis coetus Christianorum quam sentina vitiorum?
A26932but as to the sense and inside of it, it was, Whether there should be any effectual Church- Government, or not?
A26932but that is the smallest matter: but who knows how many weak ones may be perverted by the success, to their own undoing and the trouble of the Church?
A26932can not you speak soberly and moderately?
A26932could you find in your hearts to drive them away without advice?
A26932dare you tell God that you will not do his work unless the Magistrate drive you to it with scourges?
A26932dicta Evangeliorum magis diligant au thymelicorum?
A26932do you not know what it is to be unfaithful to your trust, and by negligence or self- seeking to betray mens souls?
A26932give them up as hopeless?
A26932how by works?
A26932how have you spent your time till now?
A26932how many Ministers may you ask before you have a right answer?
A26932how oft have you declared the terrors of the Lord?
A26932how sorrily would many very learned Divines answer you?
A26932is he made of flesh and blood as we are?
A26932is it not that wherein Satans Image doth much consist?
A26932is it of our Graces?
A26932it will make us talk to our selves in Bernards language, Quare O miser non omni hora ad mortem te disponis?
A26932must I daily and earnestly plead with sinners about everlasting life and death, and have no more belief and feeling of these weighty things my self?
A26932nor exercise any considerable part of Discipline at all?
A26932or a single Pastor?
A26932or any greater business to mind then your salvation?
A26932or did you not?
A26932or draw such a burden wilfully on themselves?
A26932or for the quickning of others, that were himself so sensless?
A26932or had you rather hazard your self and us, then hear of your sloathfulness?
A26932or how can you set on the top- stone while the middle parts are neglected?
A26932or is he an invisible spirit?
A26932or less to God?
A26932or rather of sensual Lazarus, and diabolical cruelty I Doth God set you work to do, and will you not believe that he would have you do it?
A26932or rather the heart of an Infidel?
A26932or should tell you that you wrong them by diminishing their reputation?
A26932or that ever had solicitous thoughts of a cure?
A26932or that ever well discerned how many of them are but Verbal, and how many are Real?
A26932or that its like it can be had without any care or pains?
A26932or the People?
A26932or to prove to you that the work hath a tendency to mens salvation?
A26932or to speak against the sin that we live in?
A26932or whether a Presbyterie?
A26932or will he venture his soul( as the ungodly do) and the Churches peace with it, and all to save himself so small a labour?
A26932or with all?
A26932or with whom?
A26932quid nobis invidemus?
A26932shall it censure, and slander, and secretly backbite, that cryes down these and the like in others?
A26932shall they dye, and be in Hell before thou wilt speak to them one serious word to prevent it?
A26932shall they there curse thee for ever that didst no more in time to save them?
A26932shall we deny, or excuse, or extenuate our sins, while we call our people to such free Confessions?
A26932shouldst thou not cry aloud, and shew them their transgressions?
A26932shouldst thou not weep over such a people, and should not thy tears interrupt thy words?
A26932the first- born of Hell?
A26932the thoughts of a believer or of an Infidel; Are these men like to honour God, and promote his service that have such base thoughts of it themseves?
A26932they say, No; And if I ask what hath he done or suffered for you?
A26932to call it publikely all to naught, and privately to make it our bed- fellow and companion?
A26932verba Christi, an mimi?
A26932verba vitae, an mortis?
A26932were these of more worth then so many souls?
A26932what abundance round about you are blindly hastening to perdition?
A26932what are we more then other men, that the people should do all this for us?
A26932what did you think of?
A26932what disadvantage must truth come upon?
A26932what have you been doing all this while that you are so ignorant, or so unprepared for death if it should now find you?
