A85780	* Quid prodest, si genua corpor is mei adorationem veniens slectam Deo,& genua cordis mei slectam diabolo?
A85780	And although he hath his dwelling so high, yet, Does he not humble himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?
A85780	And if any mans devotion shall secretly prompt him to make this recognition, What reason is there that any should condemn him for it?
A85780	And if these retort the Question upon the other, and ask, Wherefore do not you bow, nor kneel?
A85780	And shall our bodies still remain stiff, stubborn, and inflexible?
A85780	And shall these our Bodies receive these benefits, and acknowledge no Homage nor Worship unto God, whose goodness hath vouchsafed them?
A85780	And what makes it Idolatry, but the giving that Bodily worship unto it, which is Religious, and belongs onely to God?
A85780	And what may be the reason of this difference?
A85780	And who among the sons of men dares make himself wiser then that Angel, by giving contrary counsel?
A85780	Are all the Kings in the world half so glorious as he?
A85780	Are we not bought with a price, and must we not therefore glorifie God in our bodies, and in our spirits, because they are Gods?
A85780	But let''s examine the Objection: Is Corporal adoration of God, Superstition?
A85780	But rather on the contrary; Have we not many, both Examples and Precepts, in the Old Testament, and in the New, for giving of Bodily worship unto God?
A85780	But this is onely a foul scandal, without fair proof: For, What is Idolatry?
A85780	But would it not seem strange, if I should say, that Corporal worship unto God, under the Gospel, is Spiritual?
A85780	But, when Religious Worship is given to God, who himself is the true and onely Deity, Is this Idolatry?
A85780	Does not he dwell in that light which no man can approach unto; the least ray of which light is ten thousand times brighter then the Sun?
A85780	How durst he attempt to rob God of his Royal priviledge of Corporal adoration, and require it even from the Son of God?
A85780	I may ask that Question, which our late Solomon hath put into my mouth,* How long will they be weak?
A85780	If Men have both Heart and Body their way, Why should not God have Both his way?
A85780	If a Son should honour his Father, a Servant his Master, an Inferiour his Superiour,* in Body onely, and not in Heart, Is he not an Hypocrite?
A85780	If a Thief come into a True- man''s company, must the True- man suffer with the Thief?
A85780	If a man be sick, Must he therefore be knock''d o''th''head, rather then be recovered with Physick?
A85780	If he hath a Tree in his Garden taken with a Worm, will he rather dig up the Tree by the root, then seek to kill the Worm?
A85780	If so, Art not thou bound to worship him with the one as wel as with the other?
A85780	If so; Shall it be Honour then, and Dishonour now?
A85780	Is it sufficient( think we) to say, The Heart is most proper for God, therefore the Body may be exempted?
A85780	Is not he the Almighty God, infinite in Power, Greatness, Majestie, Holiness, and Glory?
A85780	Is there none, or nothing that requires it?
A85780	Now, is it not necessary that all ways of acknowledging God for God should be put in practice?
A85780	Offer it now unto thy governour, will he be pleased with thee?
A85780	Or, if he should say, Sir, I honour and reverence you in my Heart, and so shew him no Outward reverence nor respect, Would it be well taken?
A85780	Quid facere Ausoniâ geniti debetis in urbe, Cum tangant diros talia facta Getas?
A85780	Quis andeat affir mare Dersubstanriam corporaliter videri, cum eam noluerit corporaliter adorari?
A85780	Shall it be Glory there, and Shame here?
A85780	Shall it be an high Happiness in Gods Heavenly house, and Sin in his Earthly?
A85780	Shall these Bodies then appear before this presence, without expression of reverence and worship?
A85780	Tell me, Christian, Did an Heathen, who saw less of the true God then thou, see more in Religion then thou?
A85780	The question then may be asked, Whether Bodily worship given to an Idol, in a religious way, be Idolatry, or no?
A85780	Were they not inwardly touched with an awful reverence towards the great Majestie of God, and so adored him?
A85780	What answer will these refusers of Corporal adoration, return, that may relate to this Scripture?
A85780	What is God jealous of, but of his Glory, of his Honour, of his Worship, as well Corporal as Spiritual?
A85780	What''s that, but such as Religion bindes to give unto God himself?
A85780	What?
A85780	Where are then the odious aspersions that are cast upon it, in calling it Idolatry, Superstition, and I know not by what other scandalous names?
A85780	Where does the Scripture forbid that Bodily worship should be given unto God?
A85780	Who will say that the Scripture is imperfect and deficient in a thing of such consequence?
A85780	Why should not religious worship to God extend it self to as large and as ample an act, as the Civil worship unto men?
A85780	Why then should Man have more then God?
A85780	Why was not Corporal Worship accounted Idolatry, before, and under the Law, as well as now?
A85780	Will they say, We will not worship, nor how down, nor kneel, negatively in the duty, and yet hold the affirmative in the rest; For he is ear God?
A85780	Would that Light want a ray to enlighten us in the knowledge of this, which by some is accounted so great an offence?
A85780	and would he not alleadge it, to put the tempter to silence?
A85780	know ye not?
A85780	or their Thrones to be compared to his Footstool?
A85780	or, Where is it said, that God condemned any for doing it?
A85780	or, Why should the Civil Bands be longer then the Religious, binding us in more Obligations towards Men, then we are bound in towards God?
A85780	or, that Himself refused to be worshipped with the body?
A20466	( or that which his word commends) true it is I knowe, that men do preferre those that conforme vnto them, and will not Christ doe so also?
A20466	And are not the best devised devotions of the holiest and devoutest persons that ever were, or ever possibly can be, of this very nature?
A20466	And if it be lawfull in you, why not in them?
A20466	And in others, Can this man giue us his flesh?
A20466	And yet must we conforme unto them, or by your own confession, to the likenesse of them?
A20466	Are carnall inventions, I say, in this cleare light of the Gospell, the very best course to preserue holy Assemblies and Ecclesiasticall Ministery?
A20466	But can the best quallified wisedom of the world savor the things that are of God?
A20466	But yet the Lord calls them deuils, and why because they did signifie any diuelish thing?
A20466	Did CHRIST our Lord blesse the whole action, or some principall partes thereof onely?
A20466	HAVE you not read in the Scripture, The stone which the Builders refused, is become the head of the corner?
A20466	Hath Christ sanctified a Table- gesture?
A20466	I beseech you consider what is the true obiect of your faith in this choice which you haue so considera ● ly made?
A20466	I say his gesture, for so none can deny but it was in the institution, I meane of his direct appoynting; and did he ever cashiere it?
A20466	In this case of extremi ● y therefore utrum horum?
A20466	Is conformity then to this humane devices in the gesture, the very best way you can devise to preserue the Churches from utter ruine?
A20466	Is not every errour( though not in the same degree) opposite to truth, and every defect contrary to perfection?
A20466	Is there no transgression in this, haue we no precept for things of good report?
A20466	Master speakest thou this to vs also?
A20466	May any thing appropriated to religious use in the publick worship of God, be prophane or carnall?
A20466	Now I beseech all you that are indifferent, utrum horum?
A20466	Reason and Sence even in Nicodemus cry mainly out, How can this be?
A20466	This is a hard saying, who can choose but be offended at it?
A20466	What reason can bee given that one should be better then another?
A20466	Whence doth your conformitie come?
A20466	Will any man be content that his liuely Image shall in any part thereof bee defaced?
A20466	Will you feare the displeasure of man if you doe not conforme?
A20466	Yea but how may wee know in this controversie what his commandement is?
A20466	Yea, is it not a marke of infidelity to receiue such honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth from God alone?
A20466	Yet, did not this turne still to theire confusion& many times to the ouerthrow of their state?
A20466	against his direct Commandement make vnto your selues other Images and alter these?
A20466	and therefore why should not kneeling be as good as the table- gesture?
A20466	and will you not feare the displeasure of God if you do not conforme to his gesture in the act of receiving?
A20466	and yet will you( O what will not the Rebellious will of man presume to do?)
A20466	doth not such a graunt strike mainly and fundamentally at the authority of the second Commandement?
A20466	hath not the Lord alwayes reserved this honour of devising all the parts, whether actions, gestures, or ceremonies of his outward worship to himselfe?
A20466	is not euery thing which is of religious vse in Gods publicke worship being without warant frō the word erronious?
A20466	is not this the very proper and peculiar obiect of his burning and consuming iealousie?
A20466	is not this to loue the praise of men( or that which men praise) more then the praise of God?
A20466	may not the Evangelists justly crie out, Lord who hath beleeued our Report?
A20466	or did his Apostles or true churches ever dislike or refuse it?
A20466	or to vary frō the gesture of the institution either in forme or in order without a divine warrant?
A20466	why so I pray you will some say, what do they reporte?
A20466	will God else quite forget to be gracious?
A20466	will you say then conformity to them is an action of faith and yet refuse thereby that gesture which Christ by his presence& approbation honored?
A10179	& c. Or how can Christ be truly stilled, a common name, Since none was ever called Christ* substantively and abstractively or Messias, but hee alone?
A10179	* And are not many of our Prelates, Ministers, and people, now, in this rega ● d as foolish as they?
A10179	* Why then it is now so strictly given in charge to all, and Ministers and people so severely punished for omitting it, or refusing to use it?
A10179	Acts 4.27?
A10179	And is not this case the same?
A10179	And none ever annoynted with the Deitie and holy Ghost and that to be both a Kinge, Preist and Prophet to his Church, but hee?
A10179	And whether this be a good inference?
A10179	As it is not, r ● as it?
A10179	But, sayd I follies?
A10179	Cann truly be said, to be the name above every name, given him after his Resurrection and exaltation, As the name in this Text of the Philippians was?
A10179	Else what neede this new incuruation at the name, when as they are already devoutly prostrate on their knees to the person?
A10179	For, how could that name be a name above all names, which so many had as well as hee, if you respect the literall name?
A10179	For, shall wee thinke( saith hee) that either heavenly things,* or all earthly things have knees?
A10179	For, whether is gre ● ter, Henry a proper name, yet common to many of his Subjects, or, King a name of office peculiar to himselfe?
A10179	How God annointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost and with power?
A10179	If so, Then why doe they not teach, that men ought to bow at the name of Saviour aswell as at the name of Iesus?
A10179	In Luke they demaund of him, Art thou the very Christ?
A10179	Is this your Religion?
A10179	Is this your fashion?
A10179	Loe I am with you allwayes even to the ende of the World?
A10179	Lookinge for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearinge of the greate God and our Saviour Iesus Christ?
A10179	Mary or Queene, Iohn or Earle and Lord?
A10179	Or at least, made not so greate and honorable a God, as the Sonne?
A10179	Since the Text thus conjoines and requires them both alike; Or else are they not infringers of this Text and precept, for neglecting it?
A10179	Siue Iesus tantummodo positum est, intelligitur& Christus, quia Iesus unctus est: sive solummodo Christus, idem est& Iesus, quia unctus est Iesus?
A10179	That the Sorbon Sophisters, Papists, Iesuites, are more then ridiculous and absurd, who will inferre and prove this Ceremony from it?
A10179	That they bowed at the name of the Holy Ghost; since as many, or more( o) Hereticks denied his Deitie, as denied Christs?
A10179	That those who used this Ceremony make the name of Iesus a kinde of magicall word, which hath all its efficacy included in the sounde?
A10179	That we should bow at every name of God alike?
A10179	What warrant is therefore men to put off their Hatts, or bow their heads and upper parts only at the naminge of Iesus?
A10179	When ye come to appeare before me, who hath required this at your hand?
A10179	Where Christ is said to live and dwell in us?
A10179	Whether bowinge at the name of Iesus, be not divine worship and adoration, given immediately, either to the person or name of Iesus, or to both?
A10179	Whether they be not a meere Idolizing of the very name Iesus, and a confining of this bowing only to his name, not person?
A10179	Whether this be not a notorious Paradoxe and falshood,( i) That that thinge that name which is proper, is ever better then that which is common?
A10179	and mens capps, hatts, heads, bodies, are not their knees, nor yet enjoyned here to bow?
A10179	and so it ought now to be as much capped and bowed to as it, what ever the Bishop objects against it?
A10179	and that Christ and Iesus, were not one and the same person, the one being thus bowed to, not the other?
A10179	and the Salvation of man the end, better then the Deitie and Humanitie of Christ, the meanes of mans salvation?
A10179	and what are their words to this purpose?
A10179	if so,( as they all doe) then how absurd, ridiculous, superstitious, and magicall are those, who deduce such consequences from the Text now?
A10179	not art thou Iesus?
A10179	since this Text precisely requires, the bowinge of the knee( yea of both knees, because of every knee?)
A10179	that the Father and Holy Ghost were not esteemed of us to be God?
A10179	which every good Christian is bounde in Conscience, to* resist?
A10179	why bow they not at the sight thereof, as well as at the sounde?
A10179	why not out of the Church, as well as in the Church?
A20465	Alas what means then the lowing of these Oxen and bleating of the sheepe?
A20465	And hath not the Lord in the word commanded it?
A20465	And in great disdaine they demand wherein haue wee polluted the Lord, or the worship or seruice of God?
A20465	And is it the Kings office to protect and settle the true interpretation of the law of God within his Dominions?
A20465	And shall not we much more doe the like for the King of Kings, who hath done and suffered a hundred thousand of millions more for vs?
A20465	But haue we but one sentence in the Bible for a table- gesture?
A20465	But was this fire made by Philosophy, Alchimy, or Necromancy?
A20465	But who may abide his comming?
A20465	Churches and not onely to the metropolitan?
A20465	Dare we then conforme in the Religious actions, or gestures of our bodie to the ceremonies of that spirituall harlot, or to the likenesse of them?
A20465	Doe they no good then do they much hurt?
A20465	Doe you think he hath forgotten these things?
A20465	Doth not everie wife( if she desire to be found faithfull) ● are how shee may bleas ● her husband?
A20465	Even this is said against them by the Lord himselfe, the very God of peace, They put fire: what?
A20465	For if will worship or mens Inventions bee tollerable in these, why not vpon like consideration in any other?
A20465	For is it not the fruit of the Spirit?
A20465	For then it must needs be confessed that this were a very foule fault in any, and most worthy of deprivation ipso facto?
A20465	Haue they not some feeling alreadie of the slipprinesse of their places, which makes them so extreamly violent in their mischievous Courses?
A20465	How dare you then oh you men of learning, how dare you( I say) hazard your pretious souls in conforming to such things?
A20465	Is it a matter of religious use?
A20465	Is it no matter then for the outward worship, so the inward bee intended and professed to be good and sound?
A20465	Is not his light of the word then, but the darknes of mans wisdom and humane learning onely, in these things?
A20465	Is not this most horribly though most closely to vilify supreame authority?
A20465	Is the Righteousnesse of the Church Revealed in the Gospell and that not torne or patched, but perfect and compleate?
A20465	Is there no commandement in the word for it, or( which is all one) doth not the Lord require it?
A20465	Must not these graue and learned perswaders then, of absolute necessitie bee an offence unto every faithfull and tender heart?
A20465	Oh Lord, did not these plants come from Gomorah, which haue such dragonish poyson, and Aspish crueltie in them?
A20465	Shall we take the Reede of reason, or the Rule of mans wisedome and learning to measure this withall?
A20465	The maine question then is, which is the true gesture; for on all sides it will be granted, that that onely is to be conformed unto?
A20465	VVhat, are his eyes growne dimme, that hee can not see both sides?
A20465	Yea, but which is that?
A20465	and can any thing of this nature have certainty for the lawfulnes of it, unlesse it bee evidently warranted by the word of God?
A20465	and doth hee not most plainly forbid upon paine of death in this verse, to teach any thing which in the word hee hath not commanded?
A20465	and must wee now learne another lesson or manner of perfection even to haue our eyes opened, yea and be as Gods by conforming to these novelties?
A20465	and who shall stand when he appeareth?
A20465	but doth not the buying of all spirituall promotions Iustifie and cleare all such Courses?
A20465	even to kindle a fire vpon his altar to no purpose?
A20465	for what greater decencie can be found in a white shirt, or a well furd hood, then in these?
A20465	how many sweete clusters did flaming stakes affoord?
A20465	if in new Ceremonies, why not in new sacraments?
A20465	is not your fiery heat in these courses a fained madnes, or doe you make any more conscience thereof, then of your play or sporte?
A20465	marke deere mother upon my bare knees I beseech thee who that is that talketh such things with thee?
A20465	or can their Children euer possibly( for all this good meaning) speake the language of Canaan sincerely or trewly?
A20465	or is he no better, or no more to be regarded, but that any thing is good enough for him in his service?
A20465	or is his taste so decayed, that he can not perceiue our halfe- baked service?
A20465	part being left to traditions, unwritten verities, and humane Inventions?
A20465	shall not their feet( whose beautie doth onely consist in their golden buskens and slippers) in due time slide?
A20465	teach they not the truth?
A20465	what louely grapes did your fathers times bring forth?
A20465	which the Lord had forbidden?
A20465	which( yet were sufficient against all humane opinions and authorities whatsoever) haue we the first institution onely or barely mentioned?
A20465	whose device is this?
A20465	why wives should be subject to their husbands more then in name, or the Church unto Christ further then in shew?
A20465	yea is not every other conformitie parcell of that Evill treasure?
A10973	& our King commanding vs to Kneele to like Dauid when hee commanded that Vriah should bee murdered?
A10973	Againe, must wee needes Kneele at euerie bit of a prayer?
A10973	Against peaceable men?
A10973	And be they strengthened thereby in their Bread- worship?
A10973	And can there be no Communion, euen at the Communion, if we Kneele?
A10973	And if we in our Churches do Kneele, is our offence greater then the abuse of Loue feasts?
A10973	And might the Iewes vpon good considerations doe these things, and may not Christians without sinne doe as they did?
A10973	And though you grant Standing and Sitting to bee so, yet doeth it not follow that Kneeling is of the same nature indifferent?
A10973	And what herein doth she contrary to Gods word?
A10973	And what preheminence hath Sitting aboue Kneeling, that it may, and must be vsed at the Communion, and not that?
A10973	And whom deeming contentious?
A10973	And why must the people kneele when they heare those prayers, rather then the minister that pronounceth them?
A10973	Be this acknowledged: what hereof?
A10973	But be it a Momument, is our kneeling a Monument of Idolatrie?
A10973	But did he sit, why may not the same his sitting, by his Church be changed into kneeling, as well as other circumstances by you repeated?
A10973	But if neither wee sinne in kneeling, nor the Apostle in writing of those words, what is to be thought of you that so charge the Apostle and vs?
A10973	But seeing you haue sayd it, show why kneeling is the greatest scandall that euer was, or can be?
A10973	But shew, how is the addition of these words contrary to his mind?
A10973	But what Communion haue we that Kneele with Peters sinne, or yee with Pauls vertues that reproue vs for kneeling?
A10973	But what incenseth your stomack against these prayers, and maketh them vnlawfull to be vsed?
A10973	But why is it a breach of the second commandement?
A10973	But, I pray you, is it a sinne, yea, atempting sinne for any to be baptized Kneeling?
A10973	But, I pray you, why are we bound to the gesture of Sitting,& not bound to the time of Euening?
A10973	Can you say they did not; dare you affirme they might not without sinne?
A10973	Disprooue them if you can, why are they not iustifiable?
A10973	Doe you but admitte Sitting and Standing to bee indifferent?
A10973	Doth not God straightly forbid vs to serue him, as idolaters doe their Gods?
A10973	Doth the externall either Kneeling, Sitting, or Standing, further or hinder our Communion betweene Christ and his Church?
A10973	Ergo,& c. What?
A10973	Finally, bee all additions to the wordes of institution contrary to the mind of Christ?
A10973	For he hath appointed them for such an vse: for who can receiue them, or how can they be receiued otherwise?
A10973	For though Ministers bee not suspendable, for giuing the Sacrament vnto many that wil not examine themselues afore hand(& why should they?)
A10973	For what is an Altar( saieth that holy and peaceable man) what is an altar but a table made of stones?
A10973	For who can any where, or at any time worship God, but it is either at, or before some creature?
A10973	From what Africke came this monster?
A10973	From what hell this error?
A10973	Had the Iewes more libertie to adde formes, euen of admimistring the Sacraments, then Christians haue?
A10973	Haue not Christians in these indifferent matters as great power as had the Iewes, and the now liuing Christians as their forefathers?
A10973	Haue we either by reuelation beene told, that wee may not Kneele, as Peter was that hee might conuerse with the Gentiles?
A10973	Haue you any more to say?
A10973	How can it then be iustified?
A10973	If England herein doe swarue from all reformed Churches, will you therefore conclude that the Church of England onely doth dishonour God?
A10973	If ciuilly we may so doe at our common refreshings, why not much more Ecclesiasticallie, and sacramentallie at the Supper of the Lord?
A10973	In this case, where orders bee set downe for the well ordering of Christians, said he euer he would neuer keep them, then thereby offend the weake?
A10973	Insinuate you all Kneelers to be like bloody Ioabs?
A10973	Is it necessarie they should?
A10973	Is not Kneeling as scandalous?
A10973	Is therefore kneeling also at the Communion a Monument of Idolatrie?
A10973	Lastly, remember you not how you said of Kneeling, that it is the most solemne signe of reuerence; and a signe of the greatest submission?
A10973	Must we humble our harts, which is the greater,& not bend our knees which is the lesse?
A10973	Must we humble our hearts, and not expresse our inward humiliation by outward Kneeling?
A10973	N. I. baptize thee in the name of the Father?
A10973	Name the brocher, shew the Auctor?
A10973	Now among Christians who changed the time?
A10973	Now what of these necessary things either want we, or doe we not in our Church?
A10973	Or be Christians in more bondage this way, and restrained than the Iewes?
A10973	Or obserued?
A10973	Or what maketh the Iewes sitting at the last, or standing at the first, to our Kneeling at the Communion?
A10973	Or why mention you this place?
A10973	Or would you haue both Minister and people to sit, when the Sacrament is to bee administred, because Christ performed this action sitting?
A10973	Orderly men, conforming themselues to the lawfull and approued constitutions of the Church?
A10973	Out of the booke of Iob the place is this, Who is this that darkeneth the counsell by words without knowledge?
A10973	P. As how?
A10973	P. Doth the State well in changing the bread?
A10973	P. What of this?
A10973	P. What say you herevnto?
A10973	R. By reason?
A10973	R. Changing of sitting?
A10973	R. Ergo?
A10973	R. From the commendation of Sitting, how quickly are you come to the open condemnation of Kneeling at the L. table?
A10973	R. How proue you the Antecedent?
A10973	R. I doe not denie it to be a worshipping, or that in kneeling we doe worship God: yet how proue you so much?
A10973	R. May we not worship God at or before a creature?
A10973	R. Meane you that the people should stand, and the Minister sit, because Christ performed this action sitting?
A10973	R. Why mention you this place?
A10973	R. Why so?
A10973	S. If wee ought to abhorre Kneeling as wee abhorre Images; transubstantiation, and consubstantiation?
A10973	S. May not simple and superstitious persons take occasion thus to argue?
A10973	S. May not this promise seeme( at least to the simple) to make way at least to the Popish consecration?
A10973	Say not then hence forward how dare a Christian man hauing knowledge kneele in the presence of any, who for want of knowledge receiue superstitiously?
A10973	See you not how your owne weapons doe wound your selfe?
A10973	Tell what in the words of our booke, is erronious?
A10973	The same Apostle to the same effect: What Communion( saith he) hath Christ with Belial?
A10973	These things considered, can kneeling wherewith Papists doe honour their breaden God, be honourable to Christ, in his holy Sacrament?
A10973	These words of S. Paul when I consider, me thinks I see the holy Apostle looking sowrly, and speaking sharply; but against whom?
A10973	This was Pauls and the Apostle liturgie, saieth Beza: and is it not the liturgie of our Church at the administration of the Communion?
A10973	To prooue your selues that refuse to kneele, to be the seuen thousand pure ones in England free from all contagion of idolatry and superstition?
A10973	To proue vs who at the Communion doe kneele to be like the Baalites?
A10973	What communion hath Christ with Belial, saith Saint Paul; the same, what communion hath Christ with Belial, saith Gods Church?
A10973	What gather you thereof?
A10973	What haue you more to say?
A10973	What heare I?
A10973	What in the forme superstitious?
A10973	What is Belial, but one without yoake, without law?
A10973	What is the next euill, euen the great euill, that it beareth a shew of?
A10973	What is the next place of Scripture to this purpose?
A10973	What is your answere?
A10973	What moueth you so to thinke?
A10973	What necessitie is there of those prayers, at that verie time?
A10973	What say you hereto?
A10973	What, all kneeling?
A10973	What?
A10973	When all the world knoweth, and seeth the gesture to be altered, how can you say it is not probable that it was altered?
A10973	When they abhor the matter, take they comfort at our forme and maner of receiuing the same?
A10973	When they take offence at the verie substance, are they strengthened at the accidents?
A10973	Where is the wise?
A10973	Where orders well were established, who euer was more pliant to obserue them?
A10973	Whereof is Kneeling conuinced?
A10973	Which be they?
A10973	Why so?
A10973	are they so but by way of Concession?
A10973	because the one was cursed and vnlawfull, must needs the other be so?
A10973	doth it make all so sure that none can be scandalized?
A10973	how?
A10973	is it possible they can be remoued?
A10973	must all such things therefore vtterly be abolished& taken away?
A10973	or can not that same thing be vsed without sinne or offence at one time and place, which is abused in another?
A10973	or well vsed, and to Gods glory by some persons, which impiously and to the high dishonor of God is prophaned by others?
A10973	seeing that is also a sanctified signe of Christ his blood, that washeth away our sinnes and iniquity?
A10973	speake Schismatick, for your words are equiuocal?
A10973	what more horrible in Gods eies then all of them?
A10973	what reason haue you that it is not?
A10973	what reason haue you to the contrarie?
A10973	what vncouth, what horrible, what hellish assertion do I heare?
A10973	when our refections be diuers, be our actions to be the same?
A10973	where is the Scribe?
A10973	where is the disputer of this world?
A10973	which is your proposition?
A10973	who a greater aduersarie to those which would not obey, and fulfill them, then this Apostle Paul, without respect of any seeming to bee weake?
A10973	who can heare it without horror, and detestation?
A10973	who can speake it without offence?
