A17020And if it be asked, Who they were, and how they could lie hid from the world?
A17020And were the Arch- bishop Arundels constitutions against his Followers so seuere, because they were Papists?

A48815For what is a Church without Authority?
A48815For who should find us out if we could make all the wo ● ld believe we were Protestants?
A48815N. What think you Friend?
A48815No remedy say you?
A48815Otherwise why should the breach last so long, if it may so easily be closed up?

A41441What knowest thou, O Wife, but thou maist save thy Husband?

A28581Or can they make it appear, that any of these did ever commend People for their neglecting to read the Scripture?
A28581Or, whether those particular Doctrines wherein they and we do differ, have warrant from the Scriptures?
A28581Or, whether those who are called Protestants, on this Account, be truly in the right, touching this matter?
A28581Shall you loose your Estates, your Wealth, your Houses, your Friends, your Relations, yea, your Lives?
A28581That God is not to be trusted, and that his Religion is not what he represents it?

A28581To be a perpetual Companion of Devils, and the worst Sinners?
A28581To be shut out of Heaven, to be continually followed with God''s Curse?
A28581To lie roaring and howling, to all Eternity, in unquenable flames?

A79473Are we not subjected to an absolute Monarch, if the other two Estates have no legall power to releeve our neglected or oppressed Common- wealth?
A79473But are we not bound to heare what the Church will say to us for our direction in weighty points?
A79473But how shall I know the true sense of Scripture, there being such variety of conceits which passe for Interpretations?
A79473But how shall we doe then to finde out the true Church, and the true Religion?
A79473But if I am assured that some Scripture is the word of God, how shall I know what books are Canonicall, and what not?
A79473But if I doe beleeve the Scripture to be Gods word, is it necessary to beleeve that controversies are to be decided by that Word?

A79473Whether it be not an act of faith, to waxe valiant in fight for the defence of that faith, which was once delivered to the Saints?
A79473Whether that God wrote any Booke?
A79473Whether the bookes usually received as Canonicall be the bookes, the Scriptures of God?

A14408And for conclusion, what vnderstanding can they haue of the scripture?
A14408And how it happeneth, that the article of the Trinitie, is not expresly in the first confession of the 1564. yeare?

A14408But who can recount the wickednesse and abhominations which are committed in these dayes?
A14408By what meanes doo you know, that the one is Canonicall, the other Apocripha?

A14408Is any thing hard to the Lord?
A14408Lastly they demaund, whether one receiueth any thing by the Supper, which he could not receiue without the Supper?
A14408Legions of Angels?
A14408Meet it were, that the subtiltie were vaileable against S. Paul, who saith: Panis quem frangimus nonne communicatio corporis Domini est?
A14408Nothing is vnpossible to God: who knoweth not this?
A14408Now must it not be beleeued, because he can do all things, that therfore he hath done, what he hath not done: but enquired whether he hath done it?
A14408Or whether there any other cause, which incyteth them to beleeue it?
A14408Or who hath bene his Counsailor?
A14408Quid enim dicit?
A14408Quis hoc nesciat?
A14408Quis ignorat?
A14408Quomodo clausis octijs intrauerunt ossa& caro?
A14408Seeing also that the Cup is not any way distributed to them?
A14408Shall there be any thing hidden from me?
A14408Should it seeme absurd vnto thee, that a thing may bee done, whereof no example can bee shewed?
A14408The bread which wee breake, is it not the communion of the body of the Lord?
A14408The first question was, whether the Creed were made by the Apostles?
A14408The said Chrysostome in his second Homily vpon the Apostles Creed, saith these words: How is it that Iesus Christ entred the closed doores?
A14408Thirdly, whether the word haue some power or effectuall working in the Sacrament?
A14408This also is proued by that which S. Paul saith: The bread which we breake, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ?
A14408To the contrary whereof Saint Paul sayeth: Nunquid omnes Prophetae,& c. Are all Prophets?
A14408WHerevpon doo you ground your Religion?
A14408What do you vnderstand by the word of God?
A14408Whence then commeth it, that he is found in the middest of them without opening?
A14408Wherevpon the Doctors demaund, how long the Ministers esteeme the doctrine of the Supper to abide in it puritie?
A14408Wherevpon the Ministers cryed out, saying: What resolution?
A14408Whether the Ministers do beleeue the Creed, called the Apostles, to haue bene made by the Apostles?
A14408Whether they approoue the Creed onely, because they know it to be conformable to the writings of the Apostles?
A14408and by what vertue the same is made?
A14408and by whom hath it bene preached and set forth, and from age to age?
A14408and in what place?
A14408and when he may iudge assuredly of his inward inspiration?
A14408and whether they do beleeue all that is contained therein?
A14408had it not bin better he had not come there?
A14408or haue I no power to deliuer?
A14408or whither shall I flye from thy presence?
A14408to wit, how the same consecration is made?

A66243Are these Arguments for Men of Reason to use?
A66243But by what Authority was she reproved?
A66243But is not this as if I should threaten my Servant with horrible Death, for not bringing me the Man in the Moon?
A66243But, which of the Fathers ever wrote against her?

A66243He shall not lose the promised Reward: but who at is this to deserving that which free Grace had promised?
A66243If all things they did( as their ordinary Duty) be Lawful, then why do you call it Idolatry to worship Images?
A66243If he be, how then can the Gates of Hell prevail against the Church?
A66243If he did, why do you deny Unity?
A66243If it be, Why is that natural Connection proper to a natural Body, and not a Spiritual Connection proper to a Spiritual Body?
A66243If it be, why do you deny Universality?
A66243If it was, how can you deny the Merit of good Works?
A66243If not, how did the Apostles propagate the Faith of Christ, without written Books?
A66243If not, how do you know the Canonical Books, but by Oral Tradition?
A66243If not, how otherwise can we be assured?
A66243If not, then where is your justifying Faith?
A66243If not, why do you accuse Jacob of an Error, in invocating the Angel to bless his Children?
A66243If not, why do you acknowledge the Devils to understand our most secret Thoughts and Prayers, and not th ● Saints and Angels also?
A66243If not, why do you deny the Prophets now in Heaven can know things at a distance, as well as they did on Earth?
A66243If not, why doth the Apostle say, at the Name of Jesus every Knee shall bow?
A66243If not, why hath it a visible Sign, the mutual consent of both parties, an invisible Grace and Supernatural Conjunction made by Almighty God?
A66243If she be, why do you deny infallibility?
A66243If she did, by what General Council was she ever Condemn''d?
A66243If she did, in what Kingdom or Nation was your Doctrine Preached, or by whom?
A66243If she did, whose company did she leave?
A66243If she is fallen by Apostasie, what prudent man will say that she ever renounced the sweet Name of Jesus, which she ever hath in so great Veneration?
A66243If they be, how can any one hope for Salvation, seeing Man( morally speaking) can avoid idle Words?
A66243If they be, how can you clear your selves of Apostasie in despising his Church?
A66243If they can, what need have you of Preachers?
A66243If they did not, who joyned with them, or to whom did they adhere?
A66243If they do, why then doth Christ make three different sorts of Sin, of which the least makes a Man guilty of Damnation?
A66243If they had, how could she fall into Errors?
A66243If they had, why did not they confirm their Doctrine by Miracles?
A66243If they had, why then did they call a Council?
A66243If they were, why did they differ in the most essential Point of the Holy Sacrament?
A66243If they were, why have you Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and no equal Authority as they had?
A66243If they were; why did they break their Vows made to God, and teach Men so to do?
A66243Jacob calls him God: now will it follow, that because Jacob worshipped God, therefore we must invocate a Created Angel?
A66243Jacob prevailed against the Angel, and wept, and prayed to him?
A66243Luther and Calvin either had their Mission from the Roman Church, or they had not?
A66243Or by what Authority was she otherwise reprov''d?
A66243Oyl and Balm?
A66243Pa. Did not John the Baptist, the great Precursor of Christ, worship the very Latchets of our Saviours Shooes?
A66243Pa. How then can it be true, that their sound went over all the Earth, or kow can all Nations be taught?
A66243Pa. How then did the Primitive Christians receive special benefit by venerating the Shadow of St. Peter, and St. Paul?
A66243Pa. How then shall a Man be termed an Heathen or Publican for not hearing a Church, that was not visible, or yet extant in the World?

A66243Sell all that thou hast, and give it to the Poor?
A66243That he who gives it, shall in no wise lose his Reward?
A66243That is an impertinent question: How comes Canonization to be a note of the Churches Sanctity?
A66243The Jaylor was no sooner awakened, but he puts the question, what shall I do?
A66243The Penitent''s Confession, and the Priest''s Absolution, of an invisible Grace, which is the remission of Sins?
A66243The Question is impertinent, all Archbishops are of equal Authority in their own Provinces?
A66243There are some who have made themselves Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heavens sake?
A66243There either is a Penal Prison or Place of temporal Punishment and Payment after this Life, or there is not?
A66243This is a pleàsant question, where do you find he ever did?
A66243This is my Body which shall be given for you?
A66243This is the Blood of the New Testament, which shall be shed for many, for the Remission of Sins?
A66243Thou also in the Blood of thy Covenant; hast set forth thy Prisoners out of the Pit, wherein there is no Water?
A66243Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock will I build my Church?
A66243Thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified?
A66243We do agree with you that they pray for us, but what is that to our Praying to them?
A66243What if it was?
A66243What if they did not?
A66243What mean you by its being Universal, or Catholick?
A66243What then?
A66243What then?
A66243When Christ said, This is my Body, did he speak Metaphorically or not?
A66243Where was the true Church she forsook?
A66243Why do you falsify the words of St. Luke, and St. Matthew?
A66243Your Church either is Universal, or it is not?

A66243and why did they depart from the Spirit of God?
A66243forbids Prayer, or Preaching in an unknown Tongue?
A66243from what Body did she go forth?
A66243which of the Fathers ever wrote against her?
A73011A Creditor forgiues freely to a man all his debt: can he then with equitie after lay him in Gaole to make any satisfaction for the same?
A73011Againe, I aske, if wee bee excommunicate, who hath pronounced the sentence?
A73011And can the obiect of faith be the obiect of sight, as it is the obiect of faith?
A73011And if the writings of their learned men doe not iustifie our Religion, I would know, why they doe not suffer such writings to passe without purging?
A73011And why are they not all most holy, if they haue this power?
A73011Aske them( when any of them goeth about to seduce thee) whether they thinke, that thou hast receiued true baptisme?
A73011But the question is, Whether all the Martyrs did suffer for this our Religion, or no?
A73011But they will say; These held diuers errours, and were not in all things wholly with vs?
A73011By what authoritie?
A73011Can an ordinarie man then iudge of these things?
A73011Can light and darkenesse, truth and falsehood cohabite in loue?
A73011Can we ascribe to any one of them, and say, Thine is Kingdome, power and glory for euer?
A73011Can we pray any one of them, to giue vs daily bread, to forgiue vs our sinnes, to deliuer vs from euill?
A73011Can we pray to any of them, and say, Thy Name be hallowed, thy Kingdome come, thy will be done in Earth, as it is in Heauen?
A73011Could it else otherwise be, that so many in this so cleare light of Gods Gospel, should fall away?
A73011For if Religion be not imprinted in the hearts of the Martyrs, in whose hart is it written?
A73011For if we be neither Heretikes, nor Schismatikes, vpon what other ground will they iudge vs to be proceeded against?
A73011For we very willingly desire to heare her sentence: but where can that bee, except in a generall Councels determination?
A73011For why doe we forsake the Romish Church?
A73011For will they begin it with Christ, Saint Peter, and the rest, and yet not proue them of their present Religion?
A73011For would the Author of the one, approue of the other, if they were not both one?
A73011IT is a common question, and often propounded by Papists in an insulting manner ouer vs, Where our Religion was before Luthers time?
A73011If they can not, why claime they these, for the authors and maintainers of this their present Romish Religion?
A73011If they can, why doe they it not?
A73011If this be not the Spirit of God, which doth thus magnifie the holy Scriptures in the heart of euery sound Christian, what spirit then is it?
A73011If yet further they aske thee, Where were the Professors thereof also before this time?
A73011In what place of Scripture is it taught, that there be Popes, Cardinals, and Popish Prelates like Princes?
A73011Is it the Romish Church?
A73011It hath been witnessed against by the blood or many Martyrs: but where be so many in defence of our aduersaries grosse opinion?
A73011Not of the allegation of Fathers, and why?
A73011Not of the allegation of the Churches custome, and why?
A73011Now wherein stands this vnitie?
A73011Now, can true diuine loue be there kept, where faith is lost?
A73011Now, how could this be, if our Religion were not that, which is taught in the Scriptures?
A73011Ordinarie me ● can not iudge of Councels, and why?
A73011Standeth it only in affection of loue, or also in the faith of the truth?
A73011That Ecclesiasticall persons are exempt from secular authority?
A73011That Iesus Christ is bodily and wholly, as he is Man, borne of the Virgin Mary, in the Sacrament, the Bread being turned into his Flesh?

A73011That shee is to haue her proper seruice, and her Aue Maries?
A73011That the Cake is to bee reserued, and carryed about in pompe, and that all are to fall downe to it, and worship it?

A73011That the Vulgar Latin translation is only to be admitted as authenticall?
A73011That the dead are to be prayed for?
A73011That there are now Priests, to whom a speciall Office of Priesthood is assigned?
A73011That there are traditions besides for perfecting the Scriptures, and to bee receiued with equall authoritie with Scriptures?
A73011That there bee seuen degrees thereof?
A73011That there must bee Altars, Veiles, Holy- water, Holy- ashes, Palmes, and many such trumperies?
A73011This also which they say, is against common charitie: for must all out of the Church of Rome, be without hope of saluation?
A73011WEl- disposed Reader, thou hast an answer to the question, Where our Religion was before Luther?
A73011What Scripture for the picturing of the holy Trinitie; forbidden by Moses to be any way represented?
A73011What Scripture, that Belles are to bee baptized?
A73011What can they now say, which is not alreadie fully answered by our learned men?
A73011What diuisions, what varietie of sects and schismes, haue, and doe yet hinder the growth of our Religion?
A73011What haue our aduersaries now more to pleade for their cause, then heretofore they haue had?
A73011What written Word teacheth, that Diuine Seruice is to bee said onely in the Latine Tongue?
A73011Where doe the Apostles teach, that there are such a number of Holy- dayes, as be in that Religion?
A73011Where doth the Scripture teach, that Baptisme is to bee administred with Chrisme, Oyle, Coniuring, Salt, Spittle?
A73011Where is Scripture to proue, that Peter was at Rome, and Bishop there twenty fiue yeeres?
A73011Where is it written, that the Scriptures receiue authoritie from the Church, and the sense thereof onely subiect vnto her?
A73011Which of them haue euer hitherto, or dare to suffer for this their opinion, as ours haue done against it?
A73011Why doe they seeke to put it off?
A73011or can there be charitie to vnite, where doctrine doth deuide?
A349724. Who called these men to the Office of Preaching and governing Christians?
A34972All that you alledg being confessed, what prejudice can that bring to you or me?
A34972And do you not further believe, that this Church of Christ shall continue one Body till the end of the world?
A34972And who justly blame them, since they themselves reap no profit by all the Alms given?
A34972And will you, Sir, leave Gods Church, because those whom God hath appointed to take care of your soul, have not, neither desire to have Wives?
A34972BUT WHY ARE YOU A PROTESTANT?
A34972But every Society thus professing, is it thereby the same Church which we are taught to believe in the Creed?
A34972But how can you expect that we should assent hereto, since our Senses contradict it?
A34972But is every Subject to be a Iudg whether the Doctrine taught him be true, and the thing commanded lawful?
A34972But is this such a Communion as the Church Catholic anciently, or as the First four General Councils required?
A34972But it was only the Crime of Schism that I laid to the Charge of Protestant Churches, and therefore asked you the Question, Why are you a Protestant?
A34972But what would you have a man so perswaded, or so suspecting Errours and Misdemeanors to be in the Church, to do?
A34972But where are such sayings to be found, except it be in the Heretical Writings, of your Reformers?
A34972But whose fault is that?
A34972By whom have these Teachers and Governors been appointed in the Church?
A34972Can any Society be called one Body, or Corporation, unless it be united by common received Laws and Governors?
A34972Can it then be prudence in any man to hazard Eternity upon his own sence of Scripture, the half of which perhaps he never read?
A34972Can you Imagine any other, excluding this?
A34972Can you have a greater assurance hereof, then the express Words of Christ literally understood by the Constant Tradition of all Churches in all ages?
A34972Dare you disacknowledg this Authority?
A34972Did not you believe that Article before you was a Catholic?
A34972Do I not judg aright?
A34972Do we not see the virtue of Indulgences extended to the other world?
A34972Do you think good that we should take notice of these also?
A34972For who can tell how a Seperation from any of them can be called Schism; or Tenents contradicting their Heresies?
A34972How do you ground such an assurance?
A34972How does that appear?
A34972How shall they discern truth from falshood in( interpreting) Holy Scriptures?
A34972However, if this do not content the Reader, he may do well to frame a better Protestant Answer to the general Question[ Why are you a Protestant?]
A34972I remember this well: but how will you disprove me?
A34972I told you that several School- men in their Speculations do attribute more to Indulgences then the Church gives them warrant for?
A34972If so, do you think that the knowledg of Religion is to be denyed to all the rest, who have not so piercing a Judgment?
A34972In professing such a Belief of this Article, do you not also intend thereby to acknowledg your self a Member of this one Catholic Church?
A34972Is it not an Obligation imposed on those who live respectively in any of these, to be subject to the peculiar Government and Laws there established?
A34972Is no mercy to be extended to humble, contrite Penitents?
A34972Is not this, Sir, suitable to Reason?
A34972Is that Guide to be trusted, which has seduced such infinite Multitudes, opposing, calumniating, and hating one another?
A34972It is confessed: But what is all this to worshiping or adoring a Crucifix or other Image?
A34972Let us further, if you please, consider, what a Church in general is, I mean a Christian Church?
A34972Matters standing thus, what harm flows to any by Indulgences so published?
A34972May it not likewise have the same effect, and be yet more helpful to ignorant persons who can not read, and have weak Memories?
A34972Must all those Censures alwayes have their full effect?
A34972Now Sir, who can resist, who can hold out against such a Battery?
A34972Now have Sectaries found out this streight way in which Fools can not err?
A34972Now what does St. Gregory teach but the same which is now taught in the Roman Church?
A34972Now what makes such Order; but obedience to Government and Laws?
A34972Now, Sir, is not this Prinoiple a Preservative of soveraign virtue against all remorse of Conscience for Schism or Heresie?
A34972Or are the greatest number of men such?
A34972Question: But why are you a Protestant?
A34972Question: But why are you a Protestant?
A34972Question: Why are you a Catholic?
A34972Question: Why are you a Catholic?
A34972Quid ergo verba audio, cum fact a videam?
A34972Quis Who can number the testimonies given[ in Scripture] touching the Church spread over the whole earth?
A34972Quis numeret testimonia de Ecclesia toto Orbe terrarum diffusa?
A34972Shall no difference be made between Sinners converted, and those that are remorsless?
A34972Sir, Have you considered seriously on the Subject of our last Discourse?
A34972THE SECOND QUESTION: BUT, WHY ARE YOU A PROTESTANT?
A34972Then since, it seems, both Scripture, Tradition, Councils and Fathers have given their Testimonies against you, Why are you( still) a Protestant?
A34972Therefore tell me, Wherein consists that depravation you speak of?
A34972This Church therefore( wheresoever it is) was in being when they divided from the Roman; and can they pretend that they are Members of this Church?
A34972This being so, are not they who are Disciples in Gods Church, obliged in conscience to believe their Teachers, and Subjects to obey their Governors?
A34972This is strange: Do none of our Controvertists understand what your Church teaches?
A34972Thou barkest against these[ Testimonies] From what Tribunal dost thou judg?
A34972To be able to do all this, how many Volums of Controversy are you obliged to read and examine?
A34972WHY ARE YOU A CATHOLIC?
A34972WHY are you a Catholic?
A34972Were your first Reformers in Communion with them?
A34972What does he then?
A34972What page there does not proclaim this?
A34972What shall Trades- men and Day- Labourers do?
A34972What then shall ignorant persons do, who yet make up the greatest number of Christians?
A34972Where do you find that our Church invests the Pope with such an Authority?
A34972Where now do you see an evidence that the Church contradicts Scripture?
A34972Where shall we find an usurping Oppressor acknowledge himself Covetous?
A34972Which are the Points which you suppose to comply with Ambition?
A34972Who compels him thereto?
A34972Who invested them with such Authority?
A34972Why are you a Catholic?
A34972Why are you a Catholic?
A34972Why are you a Catholick?
A34972Why are you a Protestant?
A34972Why not Crowned?
A34972Why, Sir, from whence should I receive Light to discover what you teach, but from our Controvertists?
A34972You can not surely think it a matter indifferent whether you be a Member of this one Church, or not?
A34972as for example, Can you think fit to do all the same things in a Church, which you would have no Scruple to do in your house, or in an unclean place?
A34972or an ambitious man, proud?
A34972or but a few?
A34972what verse does not mention it?
A34972who can number them?
A34972who can scarce allow from their necessary Vocations any time at all dayly, even to say their Prayers?
A61594?
A61594And are not we hugely too blame, if we do not cry up such mighty Conquerors as these are?
A61594And if it were not for this very doctrine he was there censured, why doth Mr. White set himself purposely to defend it in his Tabulae suffragiales?
A61594And if this principle were true, why have we not as true an account of the eldest ages of the world, as of any other?
A61594And is it not strange he should expect any particular proofs of so innocent and necessary a thing to the being of a Church?
A61594And is not this argued like a Demonstrator?
A61594And what can this be else but to make new articles of faith?
A61594And why then were any matters of fact and points of faith inserted in the books of the New Testament?
A61594Are ● hose bare probabilities which leave no ● uspicion of doubt behind them?
A61594Bu ● that I may not think him Superficia ● as well as his way, he puts a profound Question to me, What do I think Controversie is?
A61594But he thereby notes the unconsonancy of my carriage; Wherein I wonder?
A61594But how much to the contrary is there very obvious in the proceedings of it?
A61594But if Mr. S. will not believe me in saying thus, what reason have I to believe him in saying otherwise?
A61594But if such a thing as a degeneracy be possible, how then stands the infallibility of tradition?
A61594But if tradition be so infallible, why have we not the ancient story of Britain as exact as the modern?
A61594But is the present Pope with Mr. S. a private opinator, or was the last a meer schoolman?
A61594But my demands go on, What evidence can you bring to convince me both that the Church alwayes observed this rule, and could never be deceived in it?
A61594But was it any thin ● but justice and reason in me to expe ● ● and call for a demonstration from them who talk of nothing under it?
A61594But what of that?
A61594But why I wonder, should Mr. S. think that if I do not allow of ● ral tradition, I must needs question whether there were any Fathers?
A61594But will he say, the Pope doth not challenge this?
A61594But, saith he, is that which is wholly built on the nature of things superficial?
A61594By what means a compleat history of all passages relating to it may be conveyed?
A61594Do not they pretond and appeal to what they ● eceived from their Fore- fathers as well ● s the Latins?
A61594Do ● hey say that Religion is capable of ● rict and rigorous demonstration?
A61594For I pray Sir, what doth Mr. S. think of the Greek Church?
A61594For do I not mention believing first and then doing?
A61594For doth Mr. S. hop ● to perswade men that tradition is ● rule of faith by his book or not?
A61594For since they resolved their faith into the written books, how is it possible they should believe on the account of an oral tradition?
A61594For to take his own Instance, will any man in his senses say, that he that believes, homo est animal rationale, doth not believe homo est animal?
A61594For who can imagine, but the barbarous Nations were as unwilling to deceive their posterity as any other?
A61594For ● f the assistance be infallible, what mat ● er is it whether the doctrine hath been ● evealed or no?
A61594Had not men eyes and ears, and common sense in Christ and the Apostles times?
A61594How a matter of fact evident to the world comes to be conveyed to posterity?
A61594If oral Tradition were the more certain way, why was anything written at all?
A61594If there were speculators in former ages as well as this, whether did those men believe their own speculations or no?
A61594If they may believe this, doth it not necessarily follow that they are bound to believe whatever they declare to be matter of faith?
A61594In answer to this, Mr. S. wishes, I would tell him first what evidence means, whether a strong fancy or a demonstration?
A61594Is it now repugnant to common sense, that this opinion should be believed or entertained in the Church?
A61594Is it then possible to know the Churches judgement or not?
A61594Is this the man who made choice of reason for his weapon?
A61594Is this the victory over me Mr. S. mentions to be so easie a thing?
A61594Let him therefore speak out whether he doth believe any such thing as inherent infallibility in the definitions of Pope and Councils?
A61594Must I believe a very few persons whom the rest disown as heretical and soditious?
A61594Nay, why were letters invented, and writing ever used, if tradition had been found so infallible?
A61594Now who sees not that the force of all this, lyes not in proving the minor proposition, or that no age could conspire to deceive another?
A61594Or are these only the opinions and practises of some Schoolmen among them, and not the doctrine and practise of their Church?
A61594That is, does it say there must be a total Apostacy in faith before the year 1664.?
A61594This is more easily said then understood: For if these be implyed in the former, how can there come a new obligation to believe them?
A61594To speak plainer, is it not possible for men to believe the Pope and Council infallible in their decrees?
A61594Upon which very triumphantly he concludes, Whatrs now become of your difficulty?
A61594Was ever a good cause driven to such miserable shifts as these are, especially among those who pretend to wit and learning?
A61594Well, but Pope and Councils neither define new things, nor ground themselves on them: but what means the man of reason?
A61594Were not their senses, who saw those matters of fact, as uncapable of being d ● ceived as others?
A61594What fault I pray hath the Catholick Religion committed, that it must now come to be excused inst ● ad of being defended?
A61594What is it these men mean, when they cry up their own way for demonstrative, and say that we build ● ur faith meerly on probabilities?
A61594What, did not they know what their Parents taught them?
A61594Where I pray in all the proceedings of that Council doth Mr. S. find them desine any thing on the account of oral tradition?
A61594Where then shall I satisfie my self what the sense of your Church is as to this particular?
A61594Where there were different apprehensions in one age of the Church, whether there must not be different traditions in the next?
A61594Whether persons agreeing in the substance of doctrines may not differ in their apprehensions of the necessity of them?
A61594Whether those things which are capable of being understood when they are spoken, cease to be so when they are written?
A61594Why then is the contrary doctrine censured and condemned at Rome?
A61594and consequently whether the resolution of faith be barely into oral tradition?
A61594and yet we see eve ● then the doctrine of Christ was mistaken; and is it such a wonder it should be in succeeding ages?
A61594apprehension how 24. letters by their various disposition can express matters of faith?
A61594but be it in faith, be it universal, does it suppose this degeneracy already past, which is only proper to your purpose, or yet to come?
A61594but he ● tends, that they deliver no new do ● rine: but how must that be tryed?
A61594d ● monstration then, that no errors could come into the Church?
A61594does it evidently speak of faith or manners, the Universal Church or particular persons?
A61594doth not the Greek Chur ● profess to believe on the account tradition from the Apostles as well the Latin?
A61594i ● not, how can men ground their faith upon it?
A61594if it be so, doth it not unavoidably follow that the faith of men must alter according to the Churches definitions?
A61594if it did not, what assurance can I have that every age of the Church believes just as the precedent did and no otherwise?
A61594if it did, how comes any thing to be de fide which was not before?

A61594or is it so hard to find it?
A61594or ought I not rather to take the judgement of the greatest and most approved persons of that Church?
A61594own concessions is not posterity bound to believe something which originally came not from Christ or his Apostles?

A26620Amongst all the clear places in Scripture, to pick out the Fundamental ones, how hard is it for every one?
A26620And doth not this diversity of Opinions equal the changes of the Moon?
A26620And upon such trifling Sophisms shall any Christian refuse to believe, what Christ hath taught in so express terms?
A26620And what is this but a General Council?
A26620Answer, Should even Hereticks be called to, and have in Councils their decisive voices?
A26620Are not these strong and witty Objections, put in the Frontispiece of his Book, as in the Van?
A26620Are these the Reformers of the Church by the uncorrupted word, or corrupters of the Word to deform the Church?
A26620But doth Scripture in our Bibles, show it self better to be the Word of God now, then when Christ was speaking in person?
A26620But we demand of each Sect, what Infallible External Rule or Motive they give us, to know either Gods Word speaking in Scripture, or Spirit in them?
A26620But what Kingdom, Province, or Town did ever Protestancy enter in, which it did not find Catholick?
A26620But what a weak Answer is this?
A26620But why do Protestants pretend it is so?
A26620Do any receive Demonstrations on Authority as Points of Faith?
A26620Do we allow Laicks and Women to preach?
A26620Doth any of them attach the Roman Church of Errour?
A26620Eighthly, But whereon Grounded this Infallible Authority of the Church?
A26620First, What Scripture, I pray you is this the Protestant Ground?
A26620Gold, Silver, Jewels, Wines; doth it follow there be none true, or that no man can distinguish things Sophisticated from pure and real?
A26620He begins with a great show of humility, who am I, the meanest of the thousands of Israel?
A26620Here I imagine the Bible is produced, as the Word of God, and sole ground of Faith: But who assures me of this, says the infidel?
A26620How clear are the following Fathers, S. Epiphanius, S. Chrysostome, S. Athanasius, S. Basil,& c. with S. Augustine for this?
A26620How long ago replies the Infidel?
A26620How many Scriptures are clear against Protestants in all controverted Tenets?
A26620How many divers and different Translations in Queen Elizabeths and King James times?
A26620How then shall we be assured of this without an Infallible Visible Judge?
A26620I hear Mr. Menzeis Reply to all this first ▪ but where is that Infallible Church the Scriptures and Fathers speak of?
A26620I know M. Menzeis will tell me perhaps he hath seen both the Hebrew and the Greek Texts; well but who assures him they are not corrupt?
A26620If so, I ask Mr. Menzeis where we shall find them?
A26620If so, why not then Catholicks, and all the Catholick Church?
A26620If the Sheep hearing the voice of their Pastors, and following them be misled, who shall be their sure Guide?
A26620If the first, do not Nicodemus and S. Thomas Gospels carry the same titles, with these of St. Matthew and St. Mark?
A26620Is it not a Fundamental to believe Scripture to be the Word of God, which S. Augustine takes on Tradition?
A26620Is it not to protest against all God commands us and his Word?
A26620Is it not to protest against his Dispensation and Word, to deny the Power given to his Apostles and their Successours to forgive sins?
A26620Is it not to protest against his Divine Appointment again and his Word, to teach that good Works done in his Grace, and by his Grace, merit nothing?
A26620Is it not to protest against his Divine Authority and Word, to deny the Real Presence?
A26620Is it not to protest against his Mercy, and express word again, to say he died not for all?
A26620Is it not to protest against his express Command and Word, to forbid Images as Idols?
A26620Is it not to protest against the Satisfaction which his Justice requires for our sins, even after the guilt is forgiven, to deny Purgatory?
A26620Is it not to protest against the Wisdom and Word of God, to say he obliges us to perform things impossible, as Protestants call the Commandements?
A26620Is it the Scripture Translated, or in the Original Tongues?
A26620Is the private Spirit our Ground and Guide?
A26620Is there any one more rational then the whole Church of God?
A26620Now let us see in what Church the greatest Lights of the Christian Religion have shined?
A26620O Israel, what doth thy Lord God require of thee?
A26620Or did ever any of them fancy to himself a place of Scripture, as clear for any thing, the whole Church standing in a contrary Judgment?
A26620Or how can he be said to Tautologize and use idle Repetitions, who insists still in the same question, till he get a full and satisfactory Answer?
A26620Or is the assent I give to the Law so explained by a Jurist Infallible?
A26620Or who I pray you, can trust men, both at once saying Scripture is clear in Fundamentals, and yet setting down the same Fundamentals diversly?
A26620Secondly, to come to the Originals; Shall they then onely be the Protestants Ground of Faith?
A26620Shall it be on the clearness of the words?
A26620Shall they grant a false Religion to have so many Miracles, and theirs which is the true, to have none?
A26620Shall they have recourse in fine to the false Miracles of Infidels, Hereticks, Magicians, the Antichrist or Devil?
A26620Shall they say many Miracles have been fained?
A26620Should a Christian bely Christ, who is the first Verity, upon pretence he speaketh against natural reason?
A26620The Ground and Pillar of Truth?
A26620This is his Commentary on the Text; but what a necessary and clear consequence is this?
A26620Upon this, the Infidel no little astonished at such a Discourse, surely should ask him some Ground for it, and how he could be perswaded it were true?
A26620Was not the Church Judge in Religion for the first two thousand years, before any Scriptures were written?
A26620What agreement could this make in Points controverted?
A26620What can all the Sectaries which have ever been, shown like to this, or what can they say against it?
A26620What did Huss at any time teach or defend in the Council, wherein he did not seem superstitiously to consent with the Papists?
A26620What fire is more clear then S. Augustine and others be with S. Cyprian and Origen here for a purging fire?
A26620What has not been counterfeited?
A26620What if a man should receive the New Testament as sufficiently containing Fundamentals, and reject the Old with the Manichees?
A26620What is whymsical, Phanatick, and Foolish, if this be not?
A26620What probability for what they vent of their first Apostles and Reformers?
A26620What show of probability or solidity in Protestant grounds?
A26620What then?
A26620Whatever Protestants object against the Council of Trent, did not the Arians against the Nicene Council?
A26620When Sectaries clash with Sectaries, is not all their babling out of Scripture?
A26620Whence if any man here ask the Analysie and resolution of our Faith?
A26620Whereupon his Adversary demands, what things he esteems Fundamental?
A26620Whereupon to conclude all this, I ask at M. Menzeis, is every particular man amongst Protestants infallibly assured by Scripture of what he believes?
A26620Who would not laugh here to see Mr. Menzeis, a professor of Divinity take such a weak Argument for a Demonstration?
A26620Would not this argue he is ignorant himself, of what all should know and believe?
A26620You confidently assert both; but what Sectary sayes not the same?
A26620admit of some of the Evangels, but not others with the Ebionits?
A26620any spirit to be trusted, rather then the Spirit of Truth promised to her?
A26620conference of places?
A26620do not these words make a new Command says Christ, as the former his body?
A26620her Condition more flourishing, her authority greater?
A26620how often what was first at the Margent, hath been put in the Text?
A26620in what Church the Examples of Christ and his Apostles, have been most narrowly followed?
A26620on his skill in Tongues?
A26620on his weighing the precedent and consequent places?
A26620or if they be subject to diverse Interpretations, who can better judge of their true sense, then the same Church?
A26620or more Religiously observed the Vows of Priestly Chastity?
A26620or on the assistance of the Spirit given to him?
A26620or private persons whatsoever, upon pretence of New Gospel Light to reform the Church?
A26620shall it be that all are not Saints even amongst our most Austere Religious men?
A26620should Presbyterians sit with Bishops& Prelaticks in Protestant Assemblies?
A26620so some Gospels; but what maketh that more against these of the Catholick Roman Church, then those of Christ and his Apostles?
A26620was her Doctrine then purer?
A26620were this a tautologizing, and vain repetition?
A26620what Church hath most Monuments of Christian piety?
A26620what a pitiful shift is this?
A26620what did the Popish Faith decree concerning Transubstantiation; which he likewise with the Papists did not confirm?
A26620whether Papists giving so liberally to God and his Church, or Protestants taking back what they had given?
A26620who best Evidenced true Faith by good Works?
A26620who celebrated Mass more Religiously then he?
A26620who have most put in practice all the hardest Maxims of the Gospel?
A26620who show''n greatest love towards God, and greatest charity to their neighbour?
A26620who taken greatest pains for the Salvation of Souls?
A26620why not Socinians, Anabaptists, Quakers, as well as Protestants?
A26620yea, what if a Priest shewing a new Convert how he is to be Baptized, should do the same?
A273927.3?
A27392A change in the Church naturally produces some change in the State; and who can secure the event for the better?
A27392And do you not then contradict this end of his Death, in setting those at Variance, whom he intended to Vnite?
A27392And he thus concludes his advice; Hast thou faith, art thou satisfy''d that it is lawful to eat any sort of food?
A27392And how do''s it follow, that because they did not use the same rites and ceremonies of Prayer, therefore they did not use Forms of Prayer?
A27392And how is that, but by promoting Love, Peace and Order, and taking care to preserve it?
A27392And how pathetically do''s the same Apostle exhort you again to the same thing, by all the mutual Endearments that Christianity affords?
A27392And if any ask, at what time they are bound to bring them to Baptism?
A27392And if they are capable of the Benefits and Privileges of Christianity, why shou''d not the sign of those Benefits and Privileges be apply''d to them?
A27392And in this case how shall he know by Scripture, whether his present Inspiration be Natural or Divine?
A27392And in this sence can any good Christian find fault with the Petition?
A27392And indeed how is it possible thou shoud''st profit by his Ministry, if thou come with prejudice, without any Reverence, and delight unto it?
A27392And is it not reasonable to believe they will be so?
A27392And now I pray, how do''s this Text prove, that we must use a gift of Vocal Prayer in our own words?
A27392And shall Peace be broken only in the Church, where it ought to be kept most intire?
A27392And that almost all the Catholic Church on Earth this day, is below your Communion for using Forms?
A27392And that by those who acknowledge it to be possible, and within their Power?
A27392And that even Calvin, and the Presbyterians, Cartwright, Hildersham, and the Old Non- Conformists were unworthy your Communion?
A27392And what is that greater good, but the gift of Heavenly affections in Prayer?
A27392And what reason is there, why a Gesture shou''d be more defil''d by Idolaters, than Meat which they had Offer''d up in Sacrifice to Idols?
A27392And why may not he that Praies Extempore, be as little affected with what he Praies for, before he has exprest it, as he that uses a Form?
A27392And why then do the Independents exact such a Covenant of Baptiz''d persons, before they admit them to their Communion?
A27392And why then may not the same be done in the Lord''s Supper?
A27392Are not the Peace and Unity of the Church, things that ought greatly to sway with all Sober, Humble and Considering Christians?
A27392Are you not more earnestly press''d in our Congregations to be throughly good, than in those where you think you profit more?
A27392Are you satisfy''d in your Conscience to join in Communion with us; and will you not do it for the sake of the Church of God?
A27392Because they did well, are we therefore to do worse?
A27392But are conceiv''d Prayers the more Inspir''d, because the words are Extempore?
A27392But it will be said; What shall a Man do?
A27392But then, why do''s not the same Principle, that brings you at one Time, bring you at another?
A27392But what is meant by Suspending Communion?
A27392But what reason is there for this?
A27392But what syllable or shadow of a Command is there in all the History for the use of any gesture in the act of receiving?
A27392But why shou''d we not by Sudden Death understand our being taken out of this World, when we are not fit to die?
A27392But, say they, why shou''d the phrase be us''d at all in such matters, if not commanded is not the same as forbidden?
A27392By what Rule shall he chuse his Guide?
A27392Did God continue the gift for no other end, but that Men might ask those things Extempore, which they might as well have asked in a Form?
A27392Did you not come to Church but once or twice, and then conclude too hastily, that there was no good to be gotten there?
A27392Did you not leave the Church, because, when you came, the Minister happen''d to Treat of a Subject cross to your opinion?
A27392Do not many of your own way complain of their unprofitableness under your own Ministers, which arises perhaps from a natural dulness?
A27392Do you, for instance, pay Reverence to God''s house, and come at the beginning of Service, and stand up and kneel with the Congregation,& c?
A27392Do''s he not say, He that doubteth, is damn''d if he eat, v. 23. and that whatsoever is not of faith, is sin?
A27392Do''s not this conceit arise from the foremention''d causes?
A27392First Then, what is it that the Scripture attributes to the Spirit in Prayer?
A27392For how can they excel others in knowledge or goodness, who are so easily drawn or tempted to sin?
A27392For how often do we find the word apply''d to things that have no Voice at all?
A27392For instance, what Order can there be, if Superiours may not determine, whether Prayers shall be long or short, and the like?
A27392For our Saviour probably us''d a Leaning Gesture; and by what Authority do they change it to Sitting?
A27392For then who could be innocent?
A27392For they allow the People to sing Psalms; and why then may they not bear a part in the Hymns and Psalms by alternate responses?
A27392For thus he resolves that Question, How or in what sense the Earth his Footstool may be worshipp''d without impiety?
A27392For to what purpose is a Man a Member of a Society, if he can not enjoy the privileges of it?
A27392For where, I pray, are they commanded to sprinkle the Children that are Baptiz''d?
A27392Had you not some prejudice against the Minister you came to hear, either for his Conformity, or his strictness in it, and the like?
A27392Has any Man a Scruple about his Estate, whether it be firmly setled, or he has a true legal Title to it?
A27392How careful was he, both by his Example and Precept, to forbid and discountenance a separation upon that account?
A27392How do they know, but that our Lord might have us''d another Gesture, if the Sacrament had been Instituted apart from the Passover?
A27392I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing Vnclean of it self; but to him that esteemeth any thing Vnclean, it is unclean?
A27392If it be lawful, why do you forsake it?
A27392Indeed we must follow Christ and his Apostles; but in what?
A27392Is God more taken with words, than with affections?
A27392Is it not manifest, that partiality makes you not profit by our Sermons?
A27392Is not that Man thought sincere, that acts as he believes; and that Man an hypocrite, that acts otherwise, whether his judgment be true or false?
A27392May not a Man''s tongue run before his heart either way?
A27392May not their Counsels be then more effectual with them, than ever they were before?
A27392Now I beseech you to reason a little; If our Communion be sinful, why did you enter into it?
A27392Now can any Man imagin, that those affections will be the less acceptable to God, because they are presented in a Form, and not Extempore?
A27392Now consider, I pray; Do''s not God principally Regard the Frame of our Minds in Prayer?
A27392Now if the Papists, nay if the Heathens us''d set Forms, because it was the fittest way for the Service of God; must we be forbidden to use them?
A27392Now if the People may join in Vocal Praise, why may they not also join in Vocal Prayer?
A27392Now is it not a hard case that the Devotions of Five hundred or a thousand Persons must be disturb''d by one Man''s disorders?
A27392Now since this proposition is so certainly true, how many Men''s pretences to Conscience for their separating from us, are hereby cut off?
A27392Now what they do on no reason, why may not we do on the best?
A27392Now, as to the former of these prohibited things, who sees not, that''t is unnatural, and therefore not indifferent?
A27392Or are they more Inspired, because they do generally more enlarge, and express the same Matter over again in different words?
A27392Or that he was incapable of the sign, when he was capable of being wash''d from the attainder, which was the chief thing signify''d thereby?
A27392Or to enter into a particular Church- covenant?
A27392Our famous Hooker( g) saies, To solemn actions of Royalty and Justice, there sutable Ornaments are a beauty; are they only in Religion a stain?
A27392P. What shalt thou get by Faith?
A27392Shall he receive the Sacrament doubting as he do''s?
A27392They expose Protestants as a Disunited People; and ask men how they can in prudence join with those, who are at Variance among themselves?
A27392Was it not Schism, or Disobedience to Governours?
A27392Was not the Minister, when you chanc''d to go to Church, treating of some distastful Subject, which you love not to hear of?
A27392Was the Spirit continu''d only to vary phrases?
A27392What if the points of Conformity be matters of dispute?
A27392What is a wilful sin, or a sin against knowledge, but acting otherwise, than we were convinc''d to be our duty?
A27392What needs all this stir and bustle?
A27392What now is to be done?
A27392What now shou''d be the ground and reason of this Variety both in Opinion and Practice touching the Gesture to be us''d at the Lord''s Supper?
A27392When St. Paul thought himself bound in duty to persecute Christians, was his persecution sinful, or no?
A27392Where are we told, that God will be angry with us for doing that, which he has not forbidden?
A27392Who made them so?
A27392Why can we never have your Company, but when Punishment or Advantage prompts you to it?
A27392Why do they associate and combine together into distinct Congregations, as being purer, more select Christians than others?
A27392Why shou''d not a submissive lowly deportment of body sute with this solemnity, as well as an humble lowly Mind?
A27392Why shou''d you leave her thus Desolate and Forlorn, when her present Exigencies require your most Cordial Assistance?
A27392Will a Father deny Bread to his Child, because he askt it to day in the same words, that he did yesterday?
A27392and were you not willing to have this excuse for absenting your self wholly from it?
A27392and why shou''d one be sinful and Idolatrous to use, and not the other?
A27392desire,& c. which follow the words, be as great as those that go before?
A27392or shall he forbear it doubting as he do''s?
A27392or to receive the Lord''s Supper sitting?
A27392or to touch and kiss the Book in Swearing?
A27392or to use conceiv''d Prayers?
A27392or will He refuse to hear us, because He dislikes the Garment of the Minister?
A27392that is, really holy?
A27392this censuring, disputing and dividing, about Standing or Kneeling?

A27068All human actions have their faults: must we therefore do nothing, or converse with no men?
A27068All this is setled by Law, and all Ministers subscribe to it: And is not this enough to the essence of a Pastors office?
A27068And I pray you what alters the case, as to the Parish- Churches?
A27068And are all sinners therefore for hearing him?
A27068And doth not the Law and Church lay more of this on the Incumbents, than the Diocesans( who are not U ● iquitaries)?
A27068And doth not this say as much as I am pleading for?
A27068And doth separating from the whole visible church- communion agree with the prophecies and precepts of union?
A27068And doth that satisfie you?
A27068And have men reason to be confident that our preaching will be more sounder than our writing?
A27068And is it not enough?
A27068And is it not exposing christianity to the scorn of infidels, so to say?
A27068And is it not then a sin to be my hearer?
A27068And now wherein is our Rule, false and theirs true?
A27068And on whom doth the Law most impose it?
A27068And that watch for their Souls as those that must give account?
A27068And what doth the Diocesan in it, more than any one of the rest?
A27068And what if it be dependent on the Diocesan, as governour( tho not as destroyer)?
A27068And what law forbids Incumbents to promulgate Christs commands, and charge men to obey them?
A27068And what then, if your Schism prove a Sin?
A27068And what''s London to all England?
A27068And when you cut off your self from all, saving a shred, are you a Member of the undivided Body of Christ?
A27068And who doth most of that work?
A27068And who doth this most in all the Churches?
A27068And who most doth this work among us?
A27068And why can such a Law any more bind me to judg of Church- constitutions by the Lawmakers words, rather than by Gods Word?
A27068And why must the Parish Church and Pastor needs be Independent?
A27068And yet not if a Pastor or a ruling Majority of people injoin it, or unless we leave all to confusion?
A27068Are not Churches formally relative societies; what maketh them such, but thoughts and wills of men expressed?
A27068Are not your private Churches more unquestionably Excommunicate,& c. by the Canon, and yet you separate not from them?
A27068Ask the parishes who those be?
A27068Before them that never knew them, nor could do?
A27068But 1. why do the same men accuse me for perswading men to avoid sufferings, as they think, by ill means?
A27068But Christ had twelve Apostles, and 70, or 72 other Teachers, and many more Disciples; Were these no Church, nor matter for a Church?
A27068But here our Disputants think they expose me to derision: What?
A27068But none of the things are indeed Worship, which you say men may command?
A27068But the great doubt is, who hath the Power of Government, and who actually governs,( not by the sword) but with the Ministerial Pastoral Government?

A27068Can I think that he will not preach as ill as he writeth in this book?
A27068Can he do as Ignatius''s Bishops, that must take notice of all the Church, even Servants and Maids?
A27068Can there be a higher exercise of the Keys?
A27068Can you see but on one side?
A27068Confirmation another?
A27068Could he have leave constantly to teach there, if he had there used to cry down their ordinary worship?

A27068Do I intimate that one and the same Congregation, may be two Churches of different species?
A27068Do not men use to deliberate more, and study what to write, than what to preach?
A27068Do the fl ● cks see more the Incumbents example, or the Diocesans?
A27068Do you think a Lay Civilian by Excommunicating, can prove or make a man a member of any Church against his will?
A27068Doth it follow, that I must separate from it?
A27068Doth that make him guilty of all?
A27068Doth the Diocesan or the Incumbent more walk as a known example before the Parish flock, for their imitation?
A27068Doth the Law and Church lay more of this on Diocesans ▪ or parish Pastors?

A27068Is Speaking no part nor accident of worship, because speaking is used in common things?
A27068Is commanded obedience become a sin?

A70985Did Christ ever teach you to pray any more then he taught them?
A70985Did Christs Ministers go forth after this manner with Notes in their pockets, or in a Book, to tell them what to preach, and how to preach?
A70985Did any of the latter Prophets take the former Prophets Words to speak from?
A70985Did ever any of the primitive Christians do so?
A70985Did ever the true Christians and Christian Ministers do so?
A70985Did not the Lord begin such a work in this Nation some years since?
A70985Did not the Ministers of Christ gather people out of them, and bear their testimony against them, and all Temples made with hands?
A70985Did not the papists?
A70985Did not they all minister according as they had received from God?
A70985Did the children of Israel do so?
A70985Did the primitive Christians do so?
A70985Did these things come from the Church of Christ, or was there such names amongst Christs true Ministers?
A70985Did they ever take any thing violently from any man?
A70985Did you learn it of the Church of Christ, or the Pope and his Church?
A70985Do not they go forth in this way?
A70985Do not they worship, and preach, and pray, and sing by the hour?
A70985Do not you turn people''s minds to something without them?
A70985Do you bring it onely for a cloak, custom& fashion?
A70985Do you go gorth freely, and minister freely from City to City, and Nation to Nation, as the Ministers of Christ did?
A70985Do you not say we are Wolves?
A70985Doth not learning some natural Languages and Arts, as Logick, and Rhetorick, and such like, make you fit for your Call?
A70985Doth not the Heathen so?
A70985Doth not the Scripture say, or is it not written, That there is none that knows the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son reveals him?
A70985Doth not the Tree lie as it falls?
A70985Doth not weeping and howling, mourning, sorrow, and lamentation, and wo from the dreadful Lord God of Heaven and of Earth, belong to such singers?
A70985Doth not your fruits make you appear to be such house- creepers as were in the Apostles dayes?
A70985Doth the Scripture speake anywhere of three persons?
A70985Fifthly, As to your Maintenance in this your Work; How can you quit your selves from being like the Papist Priest and Jesuits?
A70985Had you not these from the papists?
A70985Hath not our eyes seen this?
A70985Hath not the Pope learnt you that also?
A70985Hath not this been your Work in this Nation?
A70985Have not you Wrath, Envy, and Malice in your hearts, and doubtings, and waverings in your minds?
A70985Have not you bought what you have with money?
A70985Have you any such president in the holy Scriptures?
A70985Have you cared naturally for your flock, or naturally for the fleece?
A70985Have you not brought another Gospel besides that which the Apostles preached?
A70985Have you not learnt to pray of some other besides Christ?
A70985Have you not one thing still to learn of the Pope, and that is, to know where the time and place of Cleansing is?
A70985Have you received freely?
A70985Have you shewed your selves like true shepherds, or like hirelings in this thing?
A70985I say, Where is your Rule ● Where is your Example for any of these and such like things in the Scriptures of the holy men of God?
A70985If so, may vve not count you such as do not deny the popish vvayes, places, and manners, but lives in them, and by them?
A70985If you do thus, may not we, yea& all people, count you greedy of filthy lucre, covetous persons, and robbers?
A70985If you lose these Weapons, what can you do to defend your selves or flock?
A70985Is he not raising others to accomplish his Work, and fulfil his Decree against the Adulterous generation, of what name or sect soever?
A70985Is it because he hath no authority in this Nation to give you any more means, nor to take from you what you have?
A70985Is it not for ends to yourselves?
A70985Is not he that commits sin, of the Devil?
A70985Is not the Gospel glad tydings to such as are weary and heavy laden with sin, and in bondage to the Devil?
A70985Is not this the Popish Priests manner?
A70985Is not your prayings like the Popish Priests and Papists prayings?
A70985Is praise comely in the mouth of a fool?
A70985Is this your Learning, and your wise Logick, to prove the anointing unnecessary to the ministry?
A70985Is this your glad tydings, that people must live in sin, and under the power of the Devil?
A70985Is your armour the whole armour of light?
A70985Must this be true because you say so?
A70985Now could you not preach better without your Bible, then without your Notes and Note- Book?
A70985Now is not your preaching, or making an hours speech, artificial?
A70985Or are they in a state and condition fit to sing at all?
A70985Or did any of the latter Apostles and Ministers of Christ, take the former Apostles and Ministers Words for their Ground- Work?
A70985Or do you not gain utterance as the popish priests and Jesuits gains it?
A70985Put aside Whips, and Stocks, and Prisons, and compulsive Laws, and what can you do?
A70985Secondly, Are you not called, appointed, and ordained by men to preach?
A70985Should you go reap your Neighbours field, because where you have sown there is little come up but briars and thorns?
A70985Should you rob your Neighbours vinyard because you can not have fruit enough to satisfie your covetous desires out of that you have planted?
A70985TO vvhat end do you the people pay tithes?
A70985The Scripture saith, I will that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or doubting; But what hands do you lift up?
A70985The holy Scriptures you are not ashamed to say is your Rule, but in what one thing do you walk according to your pretended Rule?
A70985Then are you nor like them in this thing?
A70985Then do you not sing a lye in this?
A70985Then who may we compare you with, if not with those?
A70985These things were required to be in the Ministers of Christ; and have you these characters?
A70985Thirdly, In your yoing forth to preach are you like the Ministers of Christ?
A70985VVhere is your example?
A70985VVhy do you talk of three persons, or Trinity?
A70985Was ever Christ''s Ministers called by man, or approved by man?
A70985Was ever the like ignorance uttered by any before you?
A70985Was it their manner to respect the person of him or her that had a Gold Ring or costly Apparel?
A70985Was there any such manner of singing in the Church of Christ?
A70985Were you afraid to be discovered, and that your shame should have appeared?
A70985What Gospel do you preach?
A70985What do you learn of him?
A70985What glad tydings do you bring?
A70985What spiritual things do you sowe to poore people?
A70985What, are you quite without shame?
A70985What?
A70985Where I say did you learn this manners?
A70985Where is that written?
A70985Where''s your Shepherds Crook then?
A70985Where''s your Spiritual Weapons?
A70985Who are you like in this?
A70985Whose example do you follow in this, if not the Popish Priests?
A70985Why do you endeavour to hide your notes?
A70985Why do you not leave your Bibles at home?
A70985Why had not you longer patience for the tryal of all things?
A70985Would you have better come up then you sow?
A70985and Katherine, and Olives,& Mary Overies, and Giles, and Gregory,& c. that your Churches are called by their Names?
A70985and Priests vvhy do you not let them be improved to that end?
A70985and are not those under the power of the Devil that doth the Works of the Devil, and obeys his Will?
A70985and are you not under the power of Satan you selves?
A70985and are you not very unlike the Ministers of Christ in this your Work?
A70985and are you such as is here spoken of?
A70985and do not your selves hate the light, and so are you like to turn people from darkness?
A70985and do you not call Matthew, Mark, Luke and John''s Writings, the Gospel?
A70985and do you speak as the Spirit gives you utterance, as Christ''s Ministers did?
A70985and had they not their maintenance out of them, so that there need not be a beggar among them?
A70985and have not you received it from thence?
A70985and have you not bought the art of uttetance?
A70985and have you not the chief seats in the Assemblies?
A70985and have you the Sword of the Spirit?
A70985and how do you own the New Covenant, the fear in the heart, and the Spirit of the Lord in the inward parts?
A70985and is not he and his Father one, whose abode is with his people?
A70985and is not he appointed to save his people from their sin, and not in their sins?
A70985and is not the presence of Christ the immediate power of God?
A70985and is not this one popish Decree, that Tithes are due to God and holy Church?
A70985and is not this your Doctrine and practice also?
A70985and is not your Work herein like the Popish Priests?
A70985and lye about the Streets begging and crying for bread, and at the Steeple- houses there is a hideous, dolefull noise for bread many times?
A70985and now people that pay Tithes, and priests that receive Tithes, whom do you imitate and follow, if not the Popish train?
A70985and people why do you love to uphold a popish invention, and the false Churches Synodicall Decrees, Edicts and Ordinances?
A70985and the Papists so?
A70985and the children of the Devil call God Father?
A70985and the prophane person weep for the blessing?
A70985and to vvhat end do you the Priests take tithes?
A70985and vvhat rule have you in all the Scriptures for sprinkling of infants, and calling it Baptisme into the faith?
A70985and was not their Work and Ministry for this end, To turn people to Gods gift in them, from the darkness to the light, from the power of Satan to God?
A70985and was not this Store- house called Gods House?
A70985and what rule have you to take Tithes?
A70985and what, and where the Holy Church is, that Tithes are due to, by his, or their Decree?
A70985and where is your Rule and Example?
A70985and where two or three are gathered together in his Name, is he not in the midst?
A70985and who learnt you this but the papists?
A70985and whom do you imitate?
A70985and whose Commands and Ordinances do such obey, Christs or the Popes?
A70985and why do you deny them in words, and imitate them in practice?
A70985are not those that commit sin the servants of sin, and free from righteousness?
A70985are not you unlike both Jews and Christians?
A70985are they not of the Popes making?
A70985are you not ashamed that people should call those places Churches?
A70985did ever Christ bid them demand Tithes from the people they preached to?
A70985did not the Lord make the Tithes, give the poore, the Widows, the Strangers, the Fatherlesse, and priests also enough?
A70985did not this come from Rome?
A70985did the true Christians ever pay, or receive Tithes?
A70985do they not more frequently lye begging at their gates when they are shut?
A70985do you not know what God the Pope and papists mean?
A70985have not you and all your Brethren, the Popish Christians in whole Christendome sent an ill savour throughout the Nations and Regions round about you?
A70985have you any more rule in the Scripture for your singing, then the Papists have for their singing?
A70985is not Christs glorious Gospel of God dishonoured by them?
A70985is your end according to the Lavv of God that gave the tithes to the first Priesthood?
A70985now are you to be tried, and and I am searching your own proof, whether it holds sound to confirm that for which you brought it?
A70985or have not you received these things and wayes from the Whore, and drunken her cup?
A70985the popish Train hath so; and are you not like them?
A70985then do you not agree with them?
A70985then people vvhy do you not see them improved to that end?
A70985was it so in the time of the Law, which commanded Tithes from the people?
A55374( How shall they please you and them too?)
A5537413. was Paul crucified for you?
A5537418. and the door being once opened, it was discreetly done to bring in the worship of Saints there too: let me hear what else you can say?
A5537420. was newly given, and one had perswaded you to worship Images by your own argument, what would you have answered?
A5537425. and so could not know when or how they came?
A5537437. why do not you then go immediately to Christ?
A55374Again, I pray you tell me, doth not every wise man that makes any thing, make it sufficient for its end?
A55374Again, doth not Christ press this as a necessary, and present duty, upon all the Jews that then heard him?
A55374Again, is it not highly dishonorable to God, to give the Worship which is proper to God, unto the Creature?
A55374Again, it matters not much to this point, for what reason you worship Images: the only question is, whether you do worship Images?
A55374And are your Priests the murderers of Christ?
A55374And can I be sure of another mans intentions?
A55374And do not all my senses tell me that this is Bread?
A55374And do you think, that all that did not believe and receive these Traditions shall be damned?
A55374And first, tell me what is the Doctrine of your Church?
A55374And have you any greater assurance now of the truth of the Christian Religion, than you could have had, if you had lived in Christs dayes?
A55374And how long did this difference last?
A55374And is not every Priest bound to believe, that Christ hath absolved every person that is truly penitent?
A55374And the Athenians said to Paul, May we know what this new Doctrine is?
A55374And was not our Instruction and Salvation the end for which God wrote the Scripture?
A55374And will you yet brag of the Antiquity of your Religion?
A55374Are not those the chief ends of Religion?
A55374Are these things so?
A55374Are these things so?
A55374Are these things so?
A55374Are these things so?
A55374Are these things true?
A55374Are these things true?
A55374Are these things true?
A55374Are you agreed among your selves in that point?
A55374Are you agreed in that?
A55374Are you then agreed that the Pope alone is the Infallible Judge?
A55374Are you then infallibly certain, that your Church is infallible, or do you only probably believe it?
A55374Bellarmine affirmeth that the Saints in some sort are our Redeemers: b Is this no more than only to pray for you?
A55374Besides all this, If Melchisedeck was a type of Christ in that action, Did Christ offer Bread and Wine as Melchisedeck did?
A55374Besides, I pray you, where is the Pope or a Council called the House of God?
A55374But I beseech you, how is the Pope infallibly assured that this is the true meaning of those Texts?
A55374But I pray let me hear what you have to say for this fact of yours in taking away the Cup?
A55374But I pray you tell me; Do your people use to ask, and the Bishops to give them leave to read the Bible?
A55374But I pray you, What do you mean by these Traditions?
A55374But again, are you infallibly sure, that Saint Peters intention was to leave his Infallibility to the Pope?
A55374But again, let me ask you, Will you affirm that these words, This is my body, are to be taken properly?
A55374But besides, let me further ask you, Can you give me assurance that these words which is the ground and pillar of Truth, imply Infallibility?
A55374But further, I demand, How are you assured that St. Peter intended to leave his power, and did actually leave it to his Successors?
A55374But further, I desire to know of you how your Church comes to have this true and certain sense of Scripture; hath she it by Revelation or Inspiration?
A55374But have you no other Arguments?
A55374But if I grant these were meant, Do you then all believe that Peter''s Successours are infallible?
A55374But if the Church may be obscured for three years, why not for thirty, yea, three hundred?
A55374But since you talk of Divisions, let me ask you, are all the Members of your Church of one mind?
A55374But suppose it were so, that the Fathers had said it; tell me, are the Fathers infallible?
A55374But surely Jesus Christ is not destroyed in the Mass: Is he?
A55374But tell me, Do you believe that such an uninterrupted Succession of Ministers from the Apostles, is absolutely necessary to the being of a Church?
A55374But to let this pass, How do you prove this Doctrine?
A55374But what do you mean by venial sins?
A55374But what have you further to say?
A55374But what have you further to say?
A55374But what have you more to say?
A55374But what if the Bread be not converted in Christs Body: Is it not then an high dishonour to God, and indeed damnable Idolatry?
A55374But what, I pray you, is your other Argument?
A55374But, I pray you tell me, what is your opinion?
A55374But, first, I am told divers of your own Authors confess, it is not necessary to pray to Saints, but only convenient: Is it so?
A55374Call you this a destruction, for one to remove from one place to another, or to cease to be where he was before?
A55374Call you this only a difference in manner of expression, for one to say the Pope is Infallible, another to say he is fallible?
A55374Can you say any thing more?
A55374Can you think to convince me with that argument that does not satisfie your own Brethren?
A55374Did Christ in his supposed promise of perpetual Visibility in the Church, make an exception for these three years?
A55374Did his asking deserve it?
A55374Do not you profess, that as soon as ever it ceaseth to be Bread, it becomes the Body of Christ?
A55374Do you believe these are solid Arguments, and that the Atheist ought to yield to them?
A55374Do you make your people the Judge of Controversies?
A55374Doth not your Conscience tell you the Apostles, whom Christ commands to say thus, were in the state of grace?
A55374Doth your Church understand them so?
A55374First, that the work be not due already: doth any man deserve an estate for that money whereby he payes an old debt?
A55374For as much as all your Ministers confess our Church was once a true Church, I pray you tell me how, and when she did fall?
A55374For the first, I ask you how you understand it?
A55374For who maketh thee to differ from another?
A55374Here also I must ask you again, How doth your Church know which Books are Scripture and Canonical, doth she know this by Revelation?
A55374How do you know that it is meant of all Peter''s Successours?
A55374How do you prove that Christ did in that last Supper truly and properly offer up his Body and Blood to his Father?
A55374How do you prove that he speaks of such Traditions as were not written in the Scripture?
A55374How do you prove that it was?
A55374How do you understand these places?
A55374How doth that appear?
A55374How easie had it been to have added, to that end I leave a Successour, whom you must hear in all things?
A55374How is he assured that the Spirit of God guides him?
A55374How is it possible for the Bread to be converted into Christs Body, which was made already before the Bread?
A55374How is our Religion guilty of respect of persons?
A55374How shall they call on him, in whom they have not believ ● d?
A55374How then I pray you would you prove it?
A55374How then are you infallibly assured of the truth of these things, which are all matters of Fact?
A55374How then can you convince me or any other Christian, that you have had such an uninterrupted Succession in your Church?
A55374How then doth she know this, and why doth she determine it?
A55374How then, I pray you, do you understand this place?
A55374How then?
A55374How you will prove it?
A55374I desire to know of you, Whether in no case a man may separate from the Church whereof he was a member without Schism?
A55374I do not well understand you; Do you think the Church must needs be visible at all times to the whole world?
A55374I do so, and what can you say for it?
A55374I have heard, that divers of your learned Doctors confess this Chapter speaks not of the Sacrament: Is it so?
A55374I hope the Word, and Sacraments, and Spirit of Christ, are sufficient to apply Christs Sacrifice; must we have one Sacrifice to apply another?
A55374I know your are divided: but where do you place the infallibility, or where do you lay the foundation of your Faith?
A55374I pray you tell me in the first place, are divisions a certain Argument to prove any Church not to be true?
A55374I pray you tell me, Do you believe that there are any more substances under those species, besides the Bread first, and afterward the Body of Christ?
A55374I pray you tell me, can the Pope binde any soul and keep him in Purgatory?
A55374I pray you tell me, what do you pray for the Dead?
A55374I pray you tell me, what sins are they which are forgiven in Purgatory?
A55374I pray you, do you not worship the Bread in the Sacrament, with that worship which you call Latria, which is proper to God?
A55374If so, What is that to you?
A55374If you build an house to live in, will not you make it sufficient for that end?
A55374If you say otherwise, How do you make it appear that it concerns their Successours?
A55374Is he assured of 〈 ◊ 〉 Revelat ● on?
A55374Is it no dishonour to Christ to say, that Prayers which are made to, and delivered by the Saints, are better than those by Christ, as Salmeron saith?
A55374Is it not so?
A55374Is it rightly translated for the substance, or is it not?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it so?
A55374Is it the Church of Rome?
A55374Is it their learning, prudence, pretended devotion, or honesty, or any other such like quality?
A55374Is it then a General Council that is infallible?
A55374Is it true, or is it not?
A55374Is it true, that your great and devout Doctor Suarez saith, That is it not essential to Prayer, that a man should think of what he saith?
A55374Is it with reason, or without it?
A55374Is not blasphemy against the Son of Man a mortal sin?
A55374Is not the Lamb called the Lords Passeover?
A55374Is that nothing to you?
A55374Is that the Word of God, and rightly translated?
A55374Is there then at this time any General Council at Rome, or elsewhere, which doth agree with the Pope?
A55374Is this so?
A55374Is this true?
A55374Is this true?
A55374Is this true?
A55374Is this your strong argument?
A55374Let me first ask you, What Church is there spoken of, which you say is Infallible?
A55374Let me see how you will make these things good?
A55374Moreover, tell me, I pray you, What was the Faith of Peter which was struck at by the Devil, and pray''d for by Christ?
A55374Moreover, tell me, I pray you, may not a Priest absolve him from his sins, whom Christ hath absolved?
A55374Must not the people say Amen in one as well as the other?
A55374My old Friend, can you advise me to venture my salvation upon a metaphor?
A55374Nay indeed, once in all his life, and that in danger of death( as Navar, and Cajetan)?
A55374No, he was Bishop of Ephesus: But why do you ask that Question?
A55374Now, what is my Soul the better for eating the very Body of Christ?
A55374Or what is there that can give you any reasonable security?
A55374Shall I believe no Heresie to be an Heresie, unless I can shew how and when it came into the Church?
A55374Shall I forsake the certain and acknowledged verity of the Scripture for such trash?
A55374Since you mention that instance, I pray you tell me, Why they separated from the Arrians?
A55374Since you scorn my Arguments, for the Worship of Images, let me hear your Arguments against it?
A55374St. Paul was not of your mind; what good work is there but it lies either in willing or doing?
A55374Suppose we did really so; Doth that give you authority over us?
A55374Tell me I pray you, Is not this promise made to the Apostles only?
A55374Tell me I pray you, do you think any of the Articles of Christian Religion are contrary to reason?
A55374Tell me I pray you; Is it necessary to Salvation, to confess every particular mortal sin?
A55374Tell me I pray, doth your Church understand the true meaning of the Scripture?
A55374Tell me farther, Did this excuse the Iews from their sin of crucifying Christ, and the damnation due to it, that they did it ignorantly?
A55374Tell me first, Was Melchisedeck a Type of Christ in that action of eating Bread and Wine?
A55374Tell me then I pray you, why should God write his mind so darkly and doubtfully as you know whose Oracles are said to be delivered?
A55374Tell me then, Is it the body of your Church, and multitude of Catholicks that is your Infalible Judge?
A55374Tell me then, do you judge that Christ speaks here of a bodily eating and drinking of his very Flesh and Blood?
A55374Tell me, I beseech you, Will all kind of ignorance excuse a man?
A55374Tell me, I beseech you, in particular, What is that Church, which from this and other places, you conclude to be Infallible?
A55374Tell me, do you hold that the whole Body of Christ is present in every crumb of the Bread, and in every drop of the Wine?
A55374That were impudence to affirm: but what do you mean?
A55374The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ?
A55374Then Iohn at Rome may walk towards London, and Iohn at London may walk toward Rome, and so they may meet( shall I say, one the other?)
A55374Then he may mistake and erre in these Questions, whether Peter left a Successour?
A55374These are the principal points of our Religion, and dare you now say that our Doctrines are new?
A55374Very well, How I beseech you is the Pope assured?
A55374Very well: now I know your mind: and first I deny, that it is necessary for the true Church to be so visible in all ages: Do you prove it?
A55374Was Ieremy therefore Infallible?
A55374Was Timothy Bishop of Rome or no?
A55374Were those Fathers or Writers infallible persons?

A27045Tell me now whether you said true in the Paragraph about the Title Vice- Christ?
A27045The Pope can punish the Bishop of Antioch: But how?
A27045The foundation of all our controversie is doctrinal, whether the Papal Soveraignty be Essential to the Church?
A27045Therefore the Question between us should not be, when it ceased, but when it begun to be such a Capital Ruling Church, Essential to the whole?
A27045Urge them with this as a granted truth, till they had renounced it?
A27045WHether the Church of which the Protestants are members have been visible ever since the daies of Christ on earth?
A27045Was Gregory Thaumaturgus no Bishop, because when he came first to Neocaesarea, he had but seventeen souls in his charge?

A27045What a silly ● or, what a wicked dissembling hypocrite, doth Bellarmine feign Pope Gregory to have been?
A27045What are all their disputings for, and all this stir that they make in the world, but to set up one man over all the earth?
A27045What if a man deny that there is a Christ, a Heaven, a Hell, or a Resurrection?
A27045What if ten of you write to me at once, is it fair for each one of you to call for an answer as hastily as if I had but one in hand?

A27045What personal qualification is necessary ad esse?

A27045When was it that the Church of Rome ceased to be a true Church?

A27045Whether the Church, of which the Protestants are Members, have been Visible ever since the dayes of Christ on earth?
A27045Whether the substance of all our cause lie not in this Question, Whether the Papacy or universal Government by the Pope, be of heaven, or of men?
A27045Whether was Bellarmine or Gregory the wiser man?
A27045Which of these is it that you deny?
A27045Who will believe a Saint to be so diabolical, that calls it an imitation of the Devil?
A27045Why did not all the precedent Roman Bishops disclaim the title of universal Bishop or Patriarch, till Pelagius and Gregory?
A27045Why exclude you the chief Pastors, that depend on none?
A27045Why may not the Donatists, the Novatians, or the Greeks( much more) do so as well as Papists?
A27045Will any Diocess serve ad esse?
A27045Will any ones election prove one to be Pope?
A27045Will esteeming them fit, serve turn though they be unfit?
A27045Will it follow that if the Eucharist be not Accidental or integral, but Essential, that therefore every thing Instituted by Christ is Essentiall?
A27045Would you have my proof?
A27045Would you know then where our Church, that is, the Catholike Church hath been, in all ages?
A27045You ask,[ Were those Primitive Christians of another kind of Church order and Government then were those under the Roman Empire?]
A27045You ask[ were they different Congregations?]
A27045You next enquire whether[ we account] Rome and us One Congregation of Christians?]
A27045You say Cyril would not break off Communion with Nestorius till Celestine had condemned him; of this you give us no proof: But what if it be true?
A27045[ See how this Minister of the Devil is beside himself, and would draw us with him into the ditch of perdition?
A27045[ When every Sect pretend that they have the true Church and Ministry, who shall judge?]
A27045am I bound to believe in his authority?
A27045an in Verbis capitis sui?
A27045and also deny the Revelation it self, by which he should discern these truths?
A27045and by how many?
A27045and by whom ad esse?
A27045and did that prove that Rome was subject to Constantinople?
A27045and did those Heathen Emperors give it him?
A27045and drew both your selves and their other subjects from all subjection to them, and communion with them?
A27045and if jure divino, whether mediately or immediately?
A27045and if not, why the contempt or rejection of a drunken Priest doth it, while all the rest are( perhaps too much) honoured?
A27045and many such like?
A27045and never opened it to the auditors, till they were Baptized?
A27045and so whether it hath been from the beginning?
A27045and that they should so solicitously labour the perversion of States and Kingdoms for the promoting of stupidity or stark madness?
A27045and to hide what you pretend to open?
A27045and what approbation must there be?
A27045and what part?
A27045and whether their disobedience unchurch them or no?

A27045but that they spoke falsly?
A27045could you not without this lost labour at first have called me to prove the successive visibility of our Church?
A27045doth all the world know that Christ hath instituted in his Church nothing but what is essential to it?
A27045doth he blame them after in other Epistles that gave him that Title?
A27045even to subject all Christs Members to one, as an Universal Patriarch or Bishop?
A27045how is it possible?
A27045how shall I then be sure of his authority that is ordained?
A27045in Verbis nostris eam quaesituri?
A27045is he no Heretick, that denieth the matter revealed, without opposing obstinately the Authority revealing?
A27045is it P. Stephen that is the Law- giver of the Law against unjust innovation?
A27045is it the belief of all that God hath revealed to be believed; or of part?
A27045is this no Heretick?
A27045must I nominate Christians of these Nations, to prove that there were such?
A27045must you have their names, sirnames, and Genealogies?
A27045or any controversie between us and them to be decided?
A27045or had intentionem ordinandi?
A27045or may not many of those proofs be valid which you have seen, though you esteem them not so?
A27045or necessary to our membership?
A27045or were they quite different Congregations?
A27045or who must elect him ad esse?

A27045that all the Church hath been guiltless of the Papal usurpation, or only some in every age?
A27045therefore he was Governour of all the Christian world?
A27045those cease when the persons die; or do you mean assemblies meeting in the same place?
A27045upon the denyal of common principles and sence?

A27045were they the same which you nominated first, or others?
A27045were they the same which you nominated in the beginning, and made one Congregation with them?
A27045what Election, or Consecration is necessary thereto?
A27045what am I the wiser by your saying many more incomparably, when you tell me not what, or who they were?

A27045what if it be but in particular Assemblies?
A27045what more?

A26998You know, that the English Bishops practise Confirmation, and the Liturgy describeth it as I here do: And are the Church of England no Protestants?
A26998agreed for the Popes deposing Princes that Exterminate not all out of their Dominions that deny Transubstantiation,& c. Was this no Errour?
A26998all Kings and Nations must be subject to his Subject?
A26998and by the Memories of all the Prelates and Priests that have pretended to be the Church?
A26998and should we be forbid to read it?
A26998are Catholick, be not as good Sence, as a Roman Catholick?
A26998is Rome all the World?
A26998must such things as these be disputed by Men that would be our Infallible Rule?
A26998next the Sin of Lucifer and Antichrist, or rather plain Antichristianism it self?
A26998nor when they went after the Idols of the Heathen, and worshipped in the High places?
A26998or Babylon?
A26998or the Ten- Horned, or Two- Horned Beast in the Revelations?
A26998or whether there was ever such persons as K. James, K. Charles, Ludovicus 14 ▪ of France,& c.?
A26998was to delight in the Law of the Lord, and meditate in it Day and Night?
A26998what not in all the Canons?
A26998yea, or of the best?
A26998yea, that they ought not to endeavour to make it sure?
A269311. Who knoweth not how great an advantage Education hath, to form mens judgements to almost any thing, how bad soever?
A269312, yea, Calcedon,& c.?
A2693128 without making any mention of Peter or the Pope?
A26931A man consisteth of a soul and a body of flesh and blood: Did sense perceive any of this in the Angels?
A26931Ad hominem; Do not the Papists forget themselves here, and contradict their other suppositions?
A26931Alas, how little a part of the world were the Christians at first, and are the Papists now, in comparison of the Heathens, then and now?
A26931Alas, what was Judaea( less than England) to all the world?
A26931All the antient Fathers and Catholick Church were for Transubstantiation; and are you wiser and in a safer way than they?
A26931And I pray you, How shall the unlearned be sure that the Translations are true as to the sence?
A26931And after this to cry up Vnity, and cry down Schism, what abominable hypocrisie is it?
A26931And alas, how many have given them this scandal?
A26931And are all these so mad as to cast away their souls upon a senseless contemptible Religion?
A26931And are not other Christians More than the Papists?
A26931And are not the Protestants as Learned as the Papists?
A26931And are there not far Greater Emperours and Princes Mahometans than any that are Christians?
A26931And are you determined out of the said Scriptures to instruct the people committed to your charge?
A26931And as to a strict syllogistical form, do you understand that best?
A26931And by this doctrine what bloody inhumanity is become the brand or Character of your Church?
A26931And did not their Fathers know what their Fathers held?
A26931And do Crab, Binnius, Surius, Caranza,& c. prove what one Council said by the authority of another, or by the Records themselves, yet visible to all?
A26931And do all Papists know their own Hearts or Minds, but no Protestants?
A26931And do they not all venture their souls upon that Religion?
A26931And do they not take that for the true Religion on which they trust their souls?
A26931And for all this, the wit of man can hardly devise What Reason they have to do it?
A26931And have not all these souls to save or lose?
A26931And have not all these souls to save or lose?
A26931And have not we the same Writings of Fathers and Councils as you have?
A26931And have you been a true Christian, and lived according to this Vow?
A26931And how do all your unlearned persons know that you give them not only the true sence of the Scriptures, but of all your Councils or Traditions?
A26931And how have you been sure since then, when Pope Sixtus, and Pope Clement have made so many hundred alterations or differences?
A26931And how know you that the Pope and your Superiours err not in a matter of fact?
A26931And how oft the major Vote hath gone against the sense of the far greater number of the House?
A26931And if God can do this naturally, why not supernaturally?
A26931And if in Councils, the Major Vote must carry it; Why not in the Judgement and Tradition of the Real body of Christs Church?
A26931And if it were not so, How could any such substance be known?
A26931And if the Popish Tradition seem regardable to them, Why should not the Tradition of twice or thrice as many Christians be more regardable?
A26931And if there be no Bread neither, there is no breaking it: Can that be broken which is not?
A26931And if you have been so treacherous and unwise, as to prefer a bruitish transitory pleasure, before Gods Love and the Joyes of Heaven?
A26931And indeed great sins Cry for great Vengeance: And what Greater than for Mind, Will and Life to be forsaken of God?
A26931And is it a true or a false appearance?
A26931And is the Ceremonial Law of Moses therefore your Religion?
A26931And it''s like that will be the longest liver?
A26931And must we have none but Infallible or Prophetical Expositors?
A26931And must we suppose mens minds to be changed in their sleep, when the awe or the oratory of other men change them?
A26931And our question is, Whether the Intellect in this first Perception be deceived, or not?
A26931And therefore if he can, will you conclude against all faith if once he do it?
A26931And this is like to be many years work, for men that have other business: And how know you that we shall all Live so long?
A26931And to this day, are not four sixth parts of the whole world( at least) Heathens and Idolaters?
A26931And what a thing by this do you mak ● Gods Grace to be?
A26931And what could make them think it the antient faith, if it were not so?
A26931And what evidence must that be?
A26931And what if you add[ to a Prophet or Apostle]?
A26931And what is their use?
A26931And what possibility then have you of Believing?
A26931And when a Papist can but shew their Novices one such palpable error in the Writings of a Protestant; What sad work will he make with it?
A26931And when shall he be restrained from hindering Christs Gospel, and the Peace and Concord of the Christian world?
A26931And when they know few or none of another mind, how should they know what they are?
A26931And why are all required to subscribe them?
A26931And why have you such great diversity of both?
A26931And why then do your Translators( as Montanus and others) still differ from that Vulgar Latine?
A26931And will not any man conclude, that he that can lye in one case, can lye in more?
A26931And will you turn Sadducee ▪ Atheist or Infidel because you can not confute their Sophistry?
A26931And yet doubtless all these advantages are not sufficient to disprove the follies of Heanism, nor the badness of their Religion?
A26931And yet must we suppose, that men come thither all of one mind?
A26931And yet will so much less serve to support the credit of senseless Popery?
A26931And, alas, how great advantage have they made of our late calamitous Civil Wars, and manifold scandalous Rebellions?
A26931Are not Christs promises and the Conditions the same?
A26931Are there no Essential Constitutive parts of your Religion, more necessary than the Integrals and Accidentals?
A26931Are you able when it cometh to tedious Volumes to examine them, and find who is in the right?
A26931As if the question be, Whether a Shilling be Silver or Money?
A26931Bishop Bramhall reckons the Papists to be about the fifth part of Christians: Suppose they be a third part?
A26931But I pray tell me, How know you that the Church and Fathers did so believe?
A26931But Whether there remain any Bread and Wine?
A26931But above all, I would know of you, what you mean by the Catholick Church, whose proposal is necessary to the being of faith?
A26931But did you never hear him give any Reasons against our Religion?
A26931But doth not sense say, Here is Bread and Wine?
A26931But how come so many among us in England to turn Papists of late years, where Popery is discountenanced by the King, Parliament and Laws?
A26931But how know you that the present Church doth say so, that this was the faith of the antient Church?
A26931But if sense be deceitful, how know you that you ever read such Decrees?
A26931But is not Christianity the same Thing now as it was at the beginning?
A26931But the question is now only, Whether Bread or Wine or sensible substance be here?
A26931But whether you are a truly Penitent, Converted sinner; and whether yet you are true to your Baptismal Vow and Covenant?
A26931But why should I give counsel to men that will not thank me for it, and that obstinately refuse much better?
A26931But, alas, What work shall I shew you when I come to open their bewildring uncertainties?
A26931Can you hold it, and not know what it is?
A26931Can you stay so long unresolved without injury to your soul, till he and I have done writing?
A26931Could he but prove an Institution of his Papacy as evidently, who would not be his Subject?
A26931D. But is there no hope of ending these lamentable differences, and removing the scandal of Infidels hereby?
A26931D. But suppose that they err in this one point, they may for all that be in the right in all the rest: Who is it that hath no error?
A26931D. But what if I have not Loved God, and obeyed him, above my flesh?
A26931D. But what shall they do with following Councils, especially that at Trent, which say the same?
A26931D. But why speak you nothing of their denying the people the Cup?
A26931D. But you said also, that the Present Church and its Tradition is against Transubstantiation, as well as the Antient: How prove you that?
A26931D. I must needs profess, that the Question which I would have debated, is, Which is the True and Safe Religion?
A26931D. I would know whether the Papists or the Protestants be the True, and safe Religion?
A26931D. Tell me then, how it cometh to pass that so many Princes, Nobles, Learned men, and Religious can be so marvellously deluded?
A26931D. What then if I find but one point false in the Protestants Religion?
A26931Dare you say that all your Church, or any one man, even the Pope himself, doth understand all the Scripture?
A26931Did I ever say, that the eye may not be blinded, or the understanding distracted?
A26931Did any of the Primitive Christians baptize men into the name or subjection of Peter or any Apostle?
A26931Did not they know what their Fathers held?
A26931Did these Councils all go to bed of one mind, and rise of another?
A26931Did you ever understand what the Protestants Religion is?
A26931Do they not too much magnifie the common work( and consequently the office) of a Priest, above the work of a Pope or Prelate, who seldom consecrate?
A26931Do they talk of Antiquity?
A26931Do they talk of Greatness, Empire, Acts and Learning?
A26931Do they talk of Vniversality and Consent?
A26931Do we not know the Course of the Parliaments of England of later times?
A26931Do you know all the Logical forms of arguing, all Moods and Figures, and all the fallacies?
A26931Do you know that there is any Earth or Water, or any corporal substance in the world, or not?
A26931Do you know what it is to be a Christian?
A26931Do you lay your faith and salvation upon plausible discourses?
A26931Do you not find that you condemn your selves?
A26931Do you not grant this?
A26931Do you not know that almost all the world was then Heathen and Idolaters?
A26931Do you not think that the Common Religion of the Heathens is very unworthy for any wise man to venture his soul upon?
A26931Do you think we know not how little reason you have to say, that the Council at Laterane spake the sense of all the Church?
A26931Do you think we know not that all the Papists are not past the third or fourth part of the Christian world?
A26931Do you think we never read the History of the Council of Trent?
A26931Doth your Tradition tell you that the ancient Churches did baptize men into a subjection to the Pope?
A26931Else why did he never once pretend to give us either an unerring Commentary or Translation?
A26931Every one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ: Is Christ divided?
A26931For it is as certain that we have as many degrees of our understanding many Texts of Scripture?
A26931Had you then Infallible Translators?
A26931Hath Christianity no Constitutive special Essence, but only the Genus of Divine Revelation which is common to that with all other Divine Revelations?
A26931Hath Christianity no Essence?
A26931Hath not a Christian now the same definition as then?
A26931Hath not education a great hand in this?
A26931Have Papists any surer and more satisfying evidence for you, than sense?
A26931Have not all these Christians souls to save or lose?
A26931Have not they souls to save or lose as well as you?
A26931Have you any way of perception of corporal substances but by sense?
A26931Have you no description for it, but that It is Divine Revelation proposed by the Church?
A26931Have you obeyed God more than the desires of your flesh?
A26931Have you preferred the Kingdom of Heaven before all the pleasures, honours and riches of this world?
A26931Have you read Dr. Challoner of the Catholick Church?
A26931Have you sincerely submitted to the healing saving Doctrine, Law and example of Christ, and to the sanctifying motions of his Holy Spirit?
A26931How can a man that is a sinner do such Miracles?
A26931How come so many Princes, Nobles, Learned men, and whole Nations to be Papists?
A26931How come so many among us at home of late inclinable to Popery?
A26931How know you that God hath any revelations?
A26931How know you that they are not forgeries, or since corrupted?
A26931How little are they as to the first, to the Heathen Empires?
A26931How long will Princes and Prelates, Learned and Unlearned be deluded by him, or fear Power?
A26931How much a few men of more than ordinary parts and interest, can do with the rest?
A26931How much less dare you say that any of you perfectly understand all the Councils, which are the rest of your Religion?
A26931How shall I be sure that he saith it?
A26931How then will they prove that one is spoken properly, and the other figuratively?
A26931How to help them off their Councils?
A26931How was all the Greek Church for many hundred years sure of the soundness of the Translation called the Septuagint?
A26931How was the Latine Church sure of the soundness of their Translation before Hierome amended it?
A26931How will you ever know which one of all these is in the right]?
A26931I grant that it is unknown to us, how far Christs Glorified body may extend?
A26931I grant therefore, that our senses are no Competent Judges, Whether Christs true body be in the Sacrament?
A26931I pray you tell me; Did you ever meet with any of them that doubt of another life, or of the Immortality of the soul?
A26931I pray you what then is the Religion of all the unlearned Protestants, who know not a word of the Originals?
A26931I tell you, This is my meaning, when I say, I am a Protestant: and can you tell my meaning better than my self?
A26931I will stand to their own judgements in this, Whether all their foundation and faith be not uncertain, if any one Article of their faith prove false?
A26931If I see your picture or statue, is my sense deceived if I take it not for a living man?
A26931If Something, Why may it not be defined, and differenced from all false Religions?
A26931If True, then there is Bread and Wine: If false, it is a false sign: And what is that false appearance which God maketh a Sacrament of?
A26931If an Anabaptist, why not an Antinomian?
A26931If an Independant, why not an Anabaptist?
A26931If by books, How know you that there is a book, but by sense?
A26931If by preachers words, How know you that there is a preacher, or a word but by sense?
A26931If he can do it only on the bread and wine present, how near must it be?
A26931If he have, Why can he not do it now?
A26931If it be All, how impious and cruel are they that would never do it to this day?
A26931If one Text of Gods word were false, and you would say, You may believe all the rest save that, how will you ever prove it?
A26931If otherwise, why may he not change all the bread and wine in the Shop or Cellar where he cometh, intending consecration to an ill end?
A26931If our Baptism have not all that is essential, why do you never rebaptize Protestants when they turn to you?
A26931If so, What need you say a Council is the Church?
A26931If that General Council decreed Transubstantiation, what could move them so to do, if it were not the faith of the Church before?
A26931If they say that the species of Bread and Wine is the sensible sign, what mean they by that cheating word[ species?]
A26931If you do, tell us how you know it but by the ● erception of sense presenting it to the Intellect?
A26931If you say that the Council saith it, How shall I know that there is a man or ever was a Council, or a Book in the world?
A26931If you say, But who should take him down, if it might be done?
A26931If you were never a true Christian, you were never a true Protestant: And then what wonder if you turn Papist?
A26931If your reason be good, how much more will it hold for the Heathens, than the Papists?
A26931Is Baptism altered?
A26931Is Christianity Nothing?
A26931Is a mans Act of faith, Gods Word or Revelation?
A26931Is it All the Scriptures, or but some part, that your Pope or Councils can Infallibly both translate and expound?
A26931Is it not strange that an Infidel receiveth as verily the real flesh and blood of Christ as a Saint, and yet not the benefits or effects?
A26931Is it the Scripture in the Original, or in the Translations, which you say is your Religion, Law or Rule?
A26931Is not Christianity your Religion?
A26931Is not here express proof?
A26931Is not the Bible at least Part of your Religion?
A26931Is not this a marvellous power of Miracles, which becometh like a nature to them, as the power of speaking is?
A26931Is not this plain?
A26931Is the Creed no part of your Religion?
A26931Is there either Quantity, Colour, Smell, Taste,& c. of Wine?
A26931Is your Garment to be called Cloth, or a Cloak?
A26931It I see it moved, is my sense deceived if I take it not for any other than a moving Image?
A26931It is a Miracle of these Miracles, that there should be as many Miracle workers as Priests in the world: How many thousand are they in France alone?
A26931It is but Whether any Infidels may be saved?
A26931It is one Question, What is the Christian Religion?
A26931It s non- sence if it have no accusative case that it respects?
A26931Lord increase our faith?
A26931May not we be Christians, and saved by the same Constitutive Causes which made men Christians, and saved them in the primitive Churches?
A26931Must I therefore forsake it all as false?
A26931Nay, à fortiore mark how you teach the Infidel to inferr?
A26931No nor that you have certainty which are the true Copies of them all?
A26931One Kingdom almost all Greek Christians and another Papists, and another Lutherans, and another Reformists,& c?
A26931Only all the question is, Whether it be indeed a sign of the mind and will of God or not?
A26931Or any that are no Christians?
A26931Or did they not know what their Fathers faith was?
A26931Or do you not perceive, that you have broken your promise with me, and brought a friend of darkness, who cometh purposely to hide the truth?
A26931Or doth not reverence the Judgement of the Wise?)
A26931Or is all Divine Revelation essential to it?
A26931Or is the Pope the Church?
A26931Or only the greater part?
A26931Or was it not the same Divine Religion which the first Church( whether Council or Practicers) received without the Tradition of Council or Practicers?
A26931Or whether the Sea ebb and flow, till you know the Causes of it?
A26931Or will you not rather take him to conquer, who hath the last word?
A26931Our question I tell you is Whether the Religion of the Protestants be Infallible?
A26931Our question is now whether our professed objective Faith be true and sufficient?
A26931P. And how do you prove all or any of these?
A26931P. But how can you think to please God and be saved, if you be not of the same faith as the Church hath alwayes been of?
A26931P. Do you think that our Divines knew not what they said, when they say that to believe without Evidence maketh faith meritorious?
A26931P. Gods Revelation is surer than our senses?
A26931P. Is it a safe Religion which you your self describe?
A26931P. V. If God should say to you[ Your senses are in this deceived; Here is no bread or wine or sensible substance] Would you not believe him?
A26931P. Why then do you call the thirty nine Articles the Articles of your Religion?
A26931Panem accepisse, fregisse; to have taken Bread, and having given thanks, to have broken?
A26931Queret an teneatur quispiam a ● internum Divinae fidei actum, quem nec semper fortasse in eius potestate situm novimus?
A26931R. And are not Greeks, Armenians, Syrians, Abassines and Protestants, all Christians as well as they?
A26931R. And do you not know that( though it arose not till about six hundred years after Christ) much more of the world is Mahometan than Christian?
A26931R. And what is it that such men would have to put them out of doubt?
A26931R. Are your Superiours that told you so, the Church?
A26931R. But Christ is the Saviour of his body: Are not those of the Church who are saved, or in a state of salvation?
A26931R. But are the Ethiopian Christians out of the Church?
A26931R. But do you not hold and say, that out of the Church there is no salvation?
A26931R. But what is the Vniversal Church whose Practice is made sufficient instead of, or without a General Council?
A26931R. Did you hear the Council say so?
A26931R. Do not your own Writers say, that a General Council and Pope may err in matter of fact?
A26931R. Do we need thus to ramble round about, as if we would doubt of the thing till we know the Causes of it?
A26931R. Do you mean the Pope without a General Council, or a General Council without the Pope?
A26931R. How know you that there is any word of God, but by your senses?
A26931R. How then do you make your Churches proposal to be the necessary point to be Explicitely believed of all?
A26931R. I need not repeat it: Do you not Agree with us in this?
A26931R. I pray you mark D. that he would perswade you that he knoweth my Religion better than I do my self?
A26931R. Is it by the Perception of sense that you deny it?
A26931R. Is it not a matter of fact, what this or that man said, and what doctrine the Church at such a time did teach and hold?
A26931R. Is it the Clergy only, or the Laity only; or must it be both?
A26931R. Must it be All the Church, without any excepted?
A26931R. Still what mean you by the Church?
A26931R. Was it an Article of faith before?
A26931R. Who is it that you now call the Church which tells you so?
A26931R. Why said your Author before, that Infidels were not formally out of the Church who are invincibly ignorant?
A26931Shall not he that was a Christian then, be saved if he were now alive?
A26931So if all our senses be false in this instance, how shall we know that they are ever true?
A26931So that the Controversie is, Whether it be any substance at all which by those accidents we perceive?
A26931Such awe and terror from the power of the Chief?
A26931Such cunning contrivances to get the majority of Votes?
A26931Suppose the question were, Whether it be water or not, which all mens senses see in Rivers?
A26931Symmachus,& c. when it is certain that in many things they were all unsound?
A26931Tell me else, if sense be false, how you know that there is a Man, or Pope, or Priest in the World?
A26931That which children receive, if it be not disagreeable to their sensible interest, how commonly and tenaciously do they follow?
A26931The Case which you told me you were in doubt of, and desired satisfaction in, was Which is the True and Safe Religion?
A26931The Pope is not the Church: And he may err in a matter of fact: What then is the Church that tells you certainly what the Council of Trent decreed?
A26931There are more Agreed for Mahomet( a gross upstart deceiver) than are agreed for Christ: And doth that make it certain that they are in the right?
A26931Upon these terms, what end will there be of any Controversie, or what evidence shall ever satisfie man?
A26931WHat is the Protestants Religion, and what the Papists?
A26931Was Agabus Prophesie of Paul, or Pauls of the event of the shipwrack,& c. essential to Christianity?
A26931Was Paul Crucified for you?
A26931Was it from the Church that the first Church received it?
A26931Was it then the Universal Church?
A26931Was not the Roman Empire, and Alexanders before that, far Greater than any Christian Prince hath now?
A26931Was this Pope then( or the Roman Church) Universal?
A26931We are not yet come to the question, Whether Christs Body and blood be here?
A26931We trusted that this had been he that should have delivered Israel?
A26931Were I to be believed?
A26931Were it ever the truer for that?
A26931Were they not all of the same mind the day before they did it?
A26931What Interest of their own did engage them to it?
A26931What can be plainer?
A26931What concord hath Christ with Belial — and what agreement hath the temple of God with Idols?]
A26931What could make all the Pastors of the Church think that this was the true faith, if they did not think it was the antient faith?
A26931What disgrace is it to a man that besides Head and Heart, he hath fingers, and toes, and nails and hair?
A26931What hold you of that?
A26931What hope of Concord with the Papists?
A26931What if I should pretend the like as to his Religion?
A26931What if we all agreed to say that there is no Bread in the Sacrament after Consecration?
A26931What is it that he brake?
A26931What is left to satisfie you, if you give so little credit to the common sense of all the world?
A26931What need you dispute of the Protestants Religion, if we have as many Religions as persons?
A26931What point of their Religion?
A26931What will you do to confute an adversary, but drive him to deny a certain principle?
A26931What would you have more plain and full?
A26931When Christ cometh will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

A18933Againe I demande, why did those supposed Protestants immediatly before Luthers dayes, lye so hid and vnknowne, at Luthers resing?
A18933Againe, how could that doctrine( in the times set downe by M. Fox) be denyed, and impugned, except it were then,& afore beleeued, and maintained?
A18933And D. Mortons strange beast?
A18933And doth not Sebastianus Francus( the Protestant) confesse the same in theese words?
A18933And first do we not find Luther euen to denye all secular principality, as most vnlawful now in these Christian dayes?
A18933And further the said Father: Quid* est altari nisi sides corporis& sanguints Christi?

A18933And how mortally do they woūd your cause,& Religiō, wholy discouering your dispaire, and diffidence therein?
A18933And how truly honourable is that profession of life, which consisteth in the negotiation, and trafiking( as I may say) of saluation of soules?
A18933And seing according hereto it is sayd: how u shall they preach, except they be sent?

A18933And what will many graue Protestants( and particulary the most learned Beza) speake of you, for this your most infamous reuolt?
A18933And whether the Professours of Protestancy do truly stand chargeable, with such their Disloyalty for matter of Religion?
A18933And why should not the tytle thereof rather be: Of the interrupted and discontinued Visibility of the true Church?
A18933And will you therefore abandon Christ Iesus, out of your malignity to them?

A18933May we entreate of you, to show what Reasons are most preuayling, for your not incorporating your selfe within our Protestant Church?
A18933Must in the meane tyme, Mich ● as( a member of Antichrist) be freed from imprisonment, and passe thus vnpunished?
A18933Must the Whore of Babylon be entertayned among vs( in her followers) no worse, then a chast and inte ● erate Virgin?

A27069Alas, how few in England, Ireland, or any Countrey know what the Council of Chalcedon did, or ever heard it?
A27069Alas, who can be saved on these Mens terms?
A27069All are free from believing in the Pope; we believe in God, but not in the Pope: who of us ever charged you to do so?
A27069All hard words: Had I put him but to have told us the meaning of these also, what work should I have made him?
A27069All things were to be done decently, and in order: And yet, who ever said, but you, that all this is essential to the Church?
A27069And I believe your second: but do not you see that you desert your Cause?
A27069And Oportet discentem credere fide humanâ, that is, he must suppose his Teacher wiser than himself, or else how can he judge him fit to Teach him?
A27069And Pope and Council dare not, or can not, or will not determinate what maketh a Christian or member of their Church?
A27069And after all this what is it that he denyeth?
A27069And also that Tradition not written in the Bible be believed?
A27069And are all these now absolved from heresie?
A27069And are not these Audible and Visible to the World?
A27069And are we indeed agreed?
A27069And are we not yet so far right and reconciled?
A27069And by them a Speech of the Pope''s Legates goeth for proof of the Judgment of the Council: But what was that Speech it self?
A27069And can we find the Church by them then?
A27069And did I not adde, the constitutive parts are Christ and Christians, as the pars imperans& subdita: are there more notifying words in use?
A27069And did they mean that this belonged ever to Constantinople, and that of Divine Right?
A27069And do all their Historians erroneously number their Schisms?
A27069And do not Heathens do the same?
A27069And do not Protestant Libraries contain such professions, and their Pulpits ring of them every Lords Day?
A27069And doth not Gods Veracity give Veracity to the Speaker, and use it?
A27069And doth not every novice in Logick know this?
A27069And doth not this great Disputer know that the Arch- Bishop of Bostra was in the Empire, though it were in Arabia Petraea?
A27069And have not I professed it in sixty Volumns and more?
A27069And how can we dispute intelligibly, when you can no better explain your terms?
A27069And how can we expect contradiction of an action done a thousand miles off, which none near knew of?
A27069And how come Words spoken, to be more intelligible than words written?
A27069And how comes importing to be put instead of necessity to salvation?
A27069And how long after this was it that all History tells us the Muscovites and Russians( that were not Gothes) were converted to Christianity?
A27069And how the Hereticaters can know the sufficiency of the proposals to others?
A27069And how then shall we believe the Popes own authority?
A27069And how will he know who they are?
A27069And if Ieremias had a mind to Rule further than the Empire, now the Empire is Mahome ● … an, and Subjects Voluntary and free, what wonder is it?
A27069And if any little part of it were visible, what''s that to the rest?
A27069And if any were, how inconsiderable their number was, ● … nd on what occasion it was like that they were voluntarily there?
A27069And if his Consecration be not necessary to Episcopacy, how will you prove Ordination necessary to the Priesthood?
A27069And if so, what is proper to the office?
A27069And if these prove not an universal Sovereignty of the Patriarch of Constantinople, whether the like or less will prove it for Rome?
A27069And if they were obliged, what''s that to notifie the, Tradition of all the absent Churches?
A27069And is all the rest come now to be no Heresie?
A27069And is he therefore out of the Empire because in Coelosyria?
A27069And is here any notice how to know a member of their Church any more than in the former?
A27069And is it lawful for a Subject to subtract himself from the obedience of a lawful Pastor because he is a scandalous Offender?
A27069And is it my hard fate to become a Heretick more than all the rest of my neighbours, because I have read your Councils when they have not?
A27069And is not the Gospel then made uncertain by you, which must be believed on the authority of an uncertain Ministry?
A27069And is that an office properly Ecclesiastical and Sacred, which may be exercised by others not of that office?
A27069And may not Parish- priests have so also over the people?
A27069And may not one of us, or any Christian perswade a Man to be Subject to the Church of Christ?
A27069And may not ordained Presbyters ordain much more?
A27069And may they not be credible Witnesses against him till he consent?
A27069And must I suspend my reception of the Pope till the Abassines, Armenians, Greeks, yea or Mexicans, and the Antipodes signifie their satisfaction?
A27069And must men know all that distinctly, which they Believe not distinctly but in their general?
A27069And must poor mens Faith and Consciences be thus laid upon a game at Cheating Words?
A27069And must subjection come in for heresie?
A27069And must we therefore have as many symbols of Christianity as there are various degrees of Understandings?
A27069And now see how he talketh?
A27069And now, Reader, I leave it to thy reason whether this man have given us any regardable notice at all, what is Heresie?
A27069And of the Prophets and Apostles?
A27069And of those that Honour their Names how few know what they held?
A27069And seeing Cardinals are the newest way of Election, is not the newest likest to be the abuse?
A27069And still the question recurreth, what is it that must be particularly believed to essentiate the Church?
A27069And then what notice had men in the long Schisms, which was the true Pope?
A27069And then( suppose it were to Avignion, or to Constantinople) where is St. Peter''s Successor?
A27069And they that followed Dioscorus at Alexandria( being Orthodox), as they that adhered to Proterius?
A27069And till you have proved it, what need they, or I care for yoùr words?
A27069And to end all doubts, the Subscriptions shew that they were not there; shall we not believe your own Books, and our own Eyes?
A27069And to know that this Universal Tribunal is infallible, before they believe in Christ himself, who is supposed to give them their Infallibility?
A27069And was Palestine without the Empire?
A27069And was he Pope or no before this acquiescing?
A27069And was he not concerned to do it?
A27069And was not Thebais in the Empire?
A27069And were not your Popes so ordinarily, till Hildebrand got the better of the Emperor?
A27069And what Indian, or Armenian, or Persian Bishops were imposed or deposed by the Pope of Rome?
A27069And what a Society is that where the reception of the Pars Imperans is not necessary to every subject?
A27069And what a priviledg hath the Pope or a Patriarch above an inferiour Christian?
A27069And what an useless thing to they make Gods Word, that they may set up their own Expositions in its stead?
A27069And what are those?
A27069And what but the sword doth make your cause to be better than theirs?
A27069And what is Implicite belief of Popish Traditions in particular, but the explicite belief that all Popish Traditions in general are true?
A27069And what is Mission besides those three, which is also so necessary?
A27069And what is Sufficiency?
A27069And what is that?
A27069And what is the foundation of this faith?
A27069And what meaneth he by Iurisdiction that was wanting?
A27069And what need I more?
A27069And what of that?
A27069And what then?
A27069And what then?
A27069And what way must the Churches satisfaction be notified to me?
A27069And what wonder while they are so imperfect in knowledg, and all grace?
A27069And what''s this but the same again?
A27069And when every Bishop used what Liturgy he pleased in his own Congregation, Was there then no Communion between the Churches?
A27069And when no Man can resolve us, whether[ properly so called] must be expounded by Etymology, or by the Canou; and by what Canon?
A27069And when was Ethiopia and Persia subject to you?
A27069And whence is this strange difference?
A27069And whether she might not as well read what is written already?
A27069And whether she would stay till we had done our writings, which might possibly be some years?
A27069And whether this faith do not go to essentiate a Christian and a member of the Church?
A27069And which way, or by what Revelation did God confer this Infallibility on the Church?
A27069And who knoweth not, that the word Diocess signified then a part of the Empire?
A27069And who knoweth other mens hearts better, You or They?
A27069And who knoweth when that first act was in being, seeing the will doth still will its own future action?
A27069And who knoweth which of these parts was the Church?
A27069And who knows by this what your All is?
A27069And why do not Hierome, Chrysostome, Augustine,& c. Exhort Me ● … and Women to read the Councils as much as the Scriptures?
A27069And why do you make such a stir in the world to affright poor people to believe and be subject to your Pope?
A27069And why is not He as much the Greek Church as Ieremias?)
A27069And why?
A27069And yet can not Protestants be saved for want of the right belief?
A27069And yet do they writeso many Volumes to the contrary?
A27069And yet how few Priests or Prelates are they whose authority fame publisheth without contradiction?
A27069Any extra- Imperial Bishops put in or out, or suspended by them?
A27069Are not Men as Men, and governable by the Sword, as visible as Men as Christians, and governable by the Word and Keys?
A27069Are they therefore no competent witnesses of a matter of fact?
A27069Are we not agreed there is such a thing?
A27069Are we not all of that Faith which believeth somewhat in General( even that all Gods Word is true) and somewhat in Particular?
A27069Armenians are now subject to you?
A27069As if, when the Question is, Whether Canis, properly so called, do generate, or do give suck?
A27069As in the case of the Popes Soveraignty, when two or three parts are against it, and the rest for it: Doth salvation lye on this?
A27069But 1. when I talk but of two faiths conjunct, what if I called the former divine faith, only the Christian faith?
A27069But I enquired of the causes or evidences by which a Bishop may be known from a Usurper, what it is that maketh him a Bishop?
A27069But Protestants profess,& c. Here 1. he wanteth form also;[ All] is wanting: as if a definition, were not Universal or equipollent?
A27069But Reader, hath God left us so much in the dark?
A27069But Sir, are these[ some things] essential to Christianity and Church- membership, or not?
A27069But all the doubt is, by whom it must be delivered, by the Pastors or people, or both?
A27069But are these Priests capable persons or not?
A27069But are your matters of order and discipline no matters of faith?
A27069But can customs be known as well over all the world?
A27069But can we know that Christ instituted them before we know that there is a Christ, or that he is true Christ?
A27069But did he make them any Lawes himself?
A27069But do Bishops become such by their birthright and hereditary Title?
A27069But do not they judg of them, that burn them, and depose Princes for not exterminating them?
A27069But do you Papists agree in all points of Faith?
A27069But do you think that he meaneth as he seemeth to mean?
A27069But do you think that no part of Arabia was in the Empire?
A27069But had these Ancients Tradition for their opinion or not?
A27069But hath the Pope gone no further than this?
A27069But he saith, Is it possible for two Persons to be Papists, and one to destroy his Christianity and the other not?
A27069But how came Cyprian then so much mistaken, that said, Plebs maximam ● … abet potestatem — sacerdotes indignos recusandi?
A27069But how should a man know to whom it doth belong to judg who is fit to be an Elector?
A27069But how should we joyn with Men many hundred or thousand miles off us in Word and Sacraments, otherwise than by useing those of the same species?
A27069But how unhappy a thing is Knowledge then; and how blessed a thing is Invincible Ignorance, which may prevent so many Mens Damnation?
A27069But if Writing will serve, why not God''s writing as well as theirs?
A27069But if any particular belief be necessary, can not it be known what it is?
A27069But if my Parish- priest be but one of twenty or an hundred thousand, doth my culpable ignorance of his authority cut me off from all the Church?
A27069But is any man ever the nearer the knowledg of their minds by this?
A27069But is it certain or uncertain?
A27069But is it not incumbent on you to prove it?
A27069But is that enough?
A27069But is there any man that hath no error?
A27069But is this enough for you?
A27069But it is, what is the faith which is essential to a member of the Christian Church?
A27069But may the Church Universal erre in Excommunicating, or not?
A27069But such are they in question,& c. Do you so oft say, that less than all the Creed is necessitate medii to be believed?
A27069But tell us, if you can, when the Greek Church, or Patriarch of Constantinople did presume to Excommunicate us?
A27069But the question is, How shall I know what makes a true Bishop according to the Laws of God?
A27069But the question is, What they are?
A27069But we are never the nearer knowing their Church by this, while we are not told who the subjects are, and what maketh a visible subject?
A27069But what good will well- doing do to such a one as you, where the better it is, the worse you like it?
A27069But what if I believed in my conscience that most of the Church is unsatisfied in the Election?
A27069But what if you had told us how to know those men that are certain or eminent members of your Church?
A27069But what is Teaching, but Teaching the Learner to know the same things that the Teacher doth, by the same Evidence?
A27069But what is that he meaneth?
A27069But what is the Church that must be satisfied?
A27069But what is the proof of this assertion?
A27069But what mean you by common consent of the people?
A27069But what meaneth that hard word The true Church?
A27069But what need there then so many Ambages and large Volumes, to bring out such a short and crude Assertion?
A27069But what of that?
A27069But what''s all this to our Controversie?
A27069But what''s this to those many hundred years before, when the Empire was not so dismembered?
A27069But when did the Universal Church constitute your Cardinals to be the Electors?
A27069But where''s his Proof?
A27069But where''s your proof?
A27069But who made such a Law for all the world?
A27069But who shall be Judge?
A27069But who will believe the latter, and when will he prove either?
A27069But why must[ immediate] come in?
A27069But why pretend you then the peoples consent, when you plead it unnecessary?
A27069But will these wavering men long stand to this, and confess their Sect to be but a fourth or third part of the Church?
A27069But would one ever have expected this from a Jesuit or Roman Priest?
A27069But, Reader, is Perpetuity any proof of an Essential?
A27069By what Authority can you require me, if you name Men by an hundred Nick- names, to tell you all over which of these I account Christians?
A27069Can I speak plainer?
A27069Can any Man doubt of this?
A27069Can any Man want an Implicite belief, that wanteth no Explicite belief?
A27069Can not you judge by their Baptism, Creeds, and Profession of Christianity, till you are told their Opinions in controverted things?
A27069Can the Unity be perfect while all our uniting Graces are imperfect?
A27069Can they of Abassia tell what are the true Traditions of all the Christian world, that have Traditions in their own Countrey so different from ours?
A27069Can we know as easily what are the Traditions of Abassia, Armenia, Syria, Egypt,& c. as of England?
A27069Can you also prove that all accidents, that is, Relation, may be separable from Families, Schools, Kingdoms, without destroying them?
A27069Can you be true Pastors without derivation from, and dependance on the Pope; or be so known by the People?
A27069Can you know their minds and customs, by saying that they were obliged by the Decrees?
A27069Canus tells us, that most of the Churches and the Armes of Emperors have fought against the Roman privileges?
A27069Contempt of most of the body of Christ, is one of the great proofs that you are all the Church: And did not the Donatists say the same before you?
A27069Could not an Angel from Heaven have called them?
A27069Dare any man deny it?
A27069Dare you say that this is not our Duty?

A27069Did they upon occasion joyn in Prayer, Sacraments or Sacrifice with them?
A27069Did those Councils signifie no dissatisfaction of the Church?
A27069Did you ever read the subscriptions of that Council when you say that the Acts declare that some of the Ethiopian Church were there?
A27069Did you well to abuse the people so long?
A27069Did your Ministers first take either Mission or Iurisdiction to preach, from any of their Bishops or Patriarchs?
A27069Do not I profess it while I write these words?
A27069Do not Protestants contradict the authority of your Priests, and most of the Christian World the authority of your Pope?

A27069Do not we profess to preferre that which is most ancient, before that which is novel?
A27069Do not your Writers now ordinarily quit them of such Heresie?
A27069Do the Quartodecimani, the Luciferians, the Iovinians deny Truthes as sufficiently proposed, as that there is a God, or a Christ?
A27069Do they not hold it also necessary, that men must take their Church to be the declarer of this Scripture- truth?
A27069Do they not lament their Schisms?
A27069Do they not number the Schisms that fell out in 40 or 50 years time and continued?
A27069Do they that disown the Councils of Constance or Basil, own all the Errors or Schismes which They condemned?
A27069Do we hold Communion with none that we take not Mission and Iurisdiction from?
A27069Do you baptize such in your Church?
A27069Do you conquer by such disputing as this?

A27069Do you not carry him in procession about the Streets?
A27069Do you not hereby deny all proper accidents which agree as omni& soli, ita& semper?
A27069Do you see what all our dispute is come to at last?
A27069Do you think that there were not more than a thousand Bishops in the Empire?
A27069Doth God speak by Prophets and Christs Humanity, as through an inanimate Pipe or Whistle, or as by Balaam''s asse?
A27069Doth any History mention that ever the Emperors did so?
A27069Doth clothing make Kings, or the species of the Consecrated Bread make Christ to become invisible?

A27069Doth he make no use of the reason and honesty of the speaker?
A27069Doth he not obstinately( but necessarily) refuse to tell what is the substance of Election?
A27069Doth he rule all his Church immediately or by others?
A27069Doth it belong to the World or to Rome?

A27069Doth it follow that because he saith that this only is the cause of the division of your Churches, therefore there are no other disagreements?

A27069Easie Disputing: Can not a Quaker say so too, by us and you?
A27069Either the Election is valid or invalid before: If valid, will the Churches dissatisfaction invalidate it?
A27069Every servant, of his Master?
A27069Every subject, of the King; and be burnt for a heretick, for communicating with one that was never accused or condemned?

A27069Have these Recentiors antiquity to boast of?
A27069Have those that were brought in by Whores, Poyson and Murders, the substance?

A27069He addeth, What would you say to an Arrian, a Turk, or Jew, that would urge the like knowledge or feeling?
A27069He addeth: A Christian that hath forgotten some sin, yet at death is sorrowful for all his sins; Hath he no actual sorrow for that forgotten sin?
A27069He addeth[ Had not the Emperours power to signifie to those extra- imperials that a Council was to be celebrated, and to invite them at least?]

A27069He saith, that the Electors must be so esteemed( fit for the charge) by those to whom it doth belong, To whom what doth belong?
A27069He that believeth all that he should believe is a Christian; But is there any such?
A27069Here I desired to know of him, whether he meant a power given by God or by men?
A27069Here is no mention of what extent it must be at all, whether these Prelates must be sent from all the Christian world?

A27069How should I make a Man know that is unwilling?
A27069How should we then know by Fathers, Bishops and Councils, what was their concordant Commentary of the Scripture?
A27069How then can a Christian be known by himself or others from all the unbelieving world?
A27069How then doth their rejection signifie that we are not of the same Church?
A27069I added, Is it necessary for every Christian to be able to weigh the credit of contradicting- parties?
A27069I asked her, Whether that way was most suitable to her understanding and patience?
A27069I asked, How shall we know who hath this Episcopal power?
A27069I asked, What if we be ignorant whether the ordainer had intentionem ordinandi, how shall we be sure of the authority of the Ordained?
A27069I came next to Answer a question of his own, Whether I take the Church of Rome and the Protestants to be one Church?
A27069I demanded his Proof that ever there was a Papist, or almost, one Church of Papists in the World for 400 years after Christ?
A27069I hope we shall find out the Controversie at last; though it seems as hard almost as to resolve it: How oft must I repeat the same Proof?
A27069I now prove Popery a Novelty; and doth not that then fully prove my Consequence, that the Christian Church was Visible without it?
A27069I thought you must have proved, that it was out of the Empire; who undertook to prove it as you affirm it?
A27069I. and all particulars, VVhether they exist or not?
A27069If Abbots that are no Bishops have Votes in Councils, why not Priests?
A27069If All, alas, when and where shall we find their agreement in any more than we hold with them?
A27069If God command them, doth God command any thing which he binds us not to believe to be our duty?
A27069If God did, shew it to us ▪ if man, who?
A27069If God say, Thou shalt Love the Lord thy God with all thy Heart: Are not these words intelligible till a Pope Expound them?
A27069If a Man be licensed a Physitian, must he have also Mission and Iurisdiction given him after, before he may practice?
A27069If a man say, I repent of all my sin, but I think I have no sin, but my hearing, praying, being a Christian,& c. doth he actually repent of any?
A27069If by Word only, when and where shall every Man and Woman come to be Catechized by the Universal Church?
A27069If certain, again tell us by what ascertaining evidence?
A27069If damned, what a happiness befell one Kingdom, and what a misery the other, by the Title or No- Title of the Popes?
A27069If he know this Priest to be a common whoremonger and lyar, may he not suspect him without denying God?
A27069If he say that it is the people that must choose the Choosers, what people be they?
A27069If invalid, will the Churches satisfaction make it valid, or make him Pope that was none before?
A27069If it be by Election, the Electors must have just power to elect?
A27069If it be not desired that they come, why are they called?
A27069If man only command them, how cometh our Christianity and Salvation to be laid on them?
A27069If most, do we not know that the most( two parts to one) are against the Popes Sovereignty; which is Essential to your Church?
A27069If not General Councils, how shall we know their authority?
A27069If not, how can a Bishops deputation make them capable?
A27069If not, what an insufficient thing is your Tradition, that hath not told you what a Christian or Church- member is?
A27069If not, why must we have it from them?
A27069If of faith, then I must believe God before I can believe him?
A27069If of knowledg, what evidences prove it?
A27069If one Article may be believed without that motive( and sure it is not believed before it is believed) why not others as well as that?
A27069If our general Faith and theirs be the same, what maketh them accuse us herein as they do?
A27069If saved, then men that reject the Pope may be saved: And then why ask you us where was a Church that rejected the Pope before Luther?
A27069If so( which is undeniable,) Why is the Christian World any more a Monster without a Monarch Bishop, than the Humane World without a Monarch King?
A27069If so, is there any man living that is not an Infidel or Heretick?
A27069If so, must we know it by Word, or Writing?
A27069If so, then why is not this Canon produced for the regulating of all other Churches?
A27069If so, what made him so?
A27069If so, why may not twenty have the substance at once, or four or five at least?
A27069If so, why should we not believe him?
A27069If so, why should we not believe them?
A27069If something, hath it not an essence which may be defined?
A27069If that will serve, what if none come when all are called?
A27069If the Apostles Successors must rule the Churches as such, tell us which be the other eleven, and which be their Diocesses, and of what extent?
A27069If the Pope and Cardinals, how shall we know whether those of e. g. Stephen, Sergius, or Formosus, be the authentick ones?
A27069If the belief of all the Creeds, and all the Scriptures, be not a Faith big enough to save him?
A27069If the belief of the Popes Supremacy be essential to some, and only to some, how many must they be that so believe?
A27069If the latter what is it to us whether Rome be a true Church, any more than whether Ephesus, Thessalonica, or such other be so?
A27069If the question be, whether there be there fire, water, air, earth, gold, silver, or men or divels, created by God?
A27069If the question were, Who is the true Husband of such a woman?
A27069If there are, tell''them me if you can: or, was not this a cavil that had more of Will and Interest, than of Conscience?
A27069If there be other Schisms besides separating from the whole Church, why should you not here understand it?
A27069If they had, how come the Recentiors to forsake it?
A27069If this be enough for Christianity or Concord, why do they call us Hereticks?
A27069If you be to prove that Cephas was Peter, or Peter was an Apostle of the first place, must you have an universal proposition?
A27069If you had any better Proof, Why did you not produce it?
A27069If your Learned Men can not distinguish between Egypt, an imperial Province, and the vast and distant Kingdoms of Ethiopia; What''s that to me?
A27069Indeed the obstinacy is in both, but radically in the Will; but did Intellectual opposition notifie this?
A27069Is Christianity any thing or nothing?
A27069Is consecration necessary, and by whom ad esse?
A27069Is every man a Heretick that erreth about the sense of any one plain Text of Scripture, or not?
A27069Is he no Nere ● … ick that denieth the matter revealed, without opposing obstinately the authority revealing?
A27069Is he not driven up to the Wall, even to another denyal of all Mens Eyes and Ears?
A27069Is here any word that saith that the Pope was Soveraign of all the Earth?
A27069Is it any doubt what the orbis universus was?
A27069Is it by some note of approbation, or by silence?
A27069Is it come to that, and yet the way of Election all this while made so indifferent?
A27069Is it enough to confute any evident truth, that there was found some Man that was against it?
A27069Is it faith, and yet a belief of nothing in particular?
A27069Is it no Schism to separate from a particular Church, unless from the whole?
A27069Is it no Schism unless wilful?
A27069Is it not enough if it were proved a true Church?
A27069Is it not known that the Quarrel and Breach began long before, about the Title of universal Bishop, though the Greeks did not then excommunicate you?
A27069Is it not said, that they were of the Province of Scythia?
A27069Is it nothing to you to leave all the world besides, almost, uncertain whether they be in the Church or not?
A27069Is it only to know what the Teacher holdeth?
A27069Is it that Boys have made all our usual Logicks, and now these two Logick Doctors have Reformed them?
A27069Is it the belief of all that God hath revealed to be believed?
A27069Is not Risibilis an accident of man and yet inseparable?
A27069Is not all that which he calleth explicite belief, the meer denomination of the Explicite, from the particulars implyed in it?
A27069Is not every honest man credible according to the measure of his skill and honesty?
A27069Is not here difference enough?
A27069Is not quantity inseparable from a Body or natural substance?
A27069Is not the Bible a publick testimony and record, and being universally received is an universal tradition?
A27069Is not the Succession of the Church, as Christian, granted by him?
A27069Is not the same in all elective Princes, where the extent of their Dominions is exceeding large?
A27069Is not the same word used of the giving of equal priviledges to Constantinople, as ● … is of giving or deferring it to Rome?
A27069Is not then the consequence clear, which W. I. is so angry at?
A27069Is not this Man hard put to it?
A27069Is not this a confident Man?
A27069Is not this a false intimation, that I did not cite them?
A27069Is not this a modest Parenthesis?
A27069Is not this a notable way to save Parish- priests much labour?
A27069Is not this a pitiful Proof, that Pisanus''s Canons are authentick and ancient, because Dr. Heylin and Rosse regard them?
A27069Is not this an accurate reformer of Syllogisms; that amendeth termes that were not written, and talketh like a dreamer of he knoweth not what?
A27069Is one Man the Greek Church?
A27069Is the obstinacy that maketh Heresie, in the Intellect or the will?
A27069Is there any dealing with these false hereticaters?
A27069Is there no material difference at all between a Christian and a Sadducee, Infidel, Mahometan, or Heathen?
A27069Is this Roman Divinity?
A27069Is this a satisfactory answering?
A27069Is this antiquity and tradition?
A27069Is this by an act of knowledg, or of divine faith?
A27069Is this moral certainty, true certaints, or uncertainty?
A27069Is this necessary to know a Papist?
A27069Is this no Communion?
A27069Is your Papacy therefore null?
A27069It is no Schism if men make a division in the Church, and not from the Church?
A27069It is probable, though not altogether so certain as the former, that such as believe explicitely the Deity, and that he is a rewarder of our works?
A27069It may be I believe Pope Nicolas Decrees, that a man must not hear Mass of a Priest that hath a Concubine?
A27069It''s a dispute among the Papists Divines what a Christian is, or what Christianity is?
A27069It''s true: But did Anatolias and his Complices, that is, the Council, speak sincerely and truly here, or falsly?
A27069It''s well we are now quite rid of the old cavil of the Nags- head Consecration: Why was not this confest sooner?
A27069Judge now whether here be a word of summoning any one Bishop out of the Empire?
A27069Know you not that he was sent to multiply Christians, and make himself a competent Diocess?
A27069May none but Bishops and chief Prelates be members( as you say?)
A27069May not I see you asleep, and think that you are dead?
A27069May not a humane yet be conjunct with the Christian?
A27069May not a man firmly believe the Major, that taketh the Minor for a lie?
A27069May not faith now be wrought by the Preachers word and Spirit?
A27069May not the world see now what is the foundation of your faith, and the validity of your Authority and Tradition?
A27069Might not the consent of the neighbour Egyptian Bishops put them out of conceit with that Council, though they owned no Heresie?
A27069Must I take that man to be no Pope?
A27069Must I tell you what By Opinions they all hold, that you may judge whether they are Christians or not?
A27069Must all Men pass for no Christian, that a Priest or Jesuit will say are none?
A27069Must all the people here take the words of their present Teacher?
A27069Must every private man be the judge of hi ● … neighbour?
A27069Must it needs be the formal object of faith?
A27069Must it not represent all the Catholick Church?
A27069Must not both these make up their Implicite Faith?
A27069Must the Greeks and Armenians have Mission,& c, from us?
A27069Must the word[ Gen ● … s Sarra ● … orum] prove that he was out of the Empire, when part of Arabia † was in it?
A27069My fourth Question about his definition of the Church was, Why exclude you the chief Pastors that depend on none?
A27069My next Question was, If I culpably were ignorant but of some few Priests authority among thousands, am I cut off from all the rest, and the Church?
A27069My third Question about his definition of the Church was, Is it[ any] lawful Pastors, or[ all] that must necessarily be depended on by every member?
A27069Nay, is a meer general repentance, any actual repentance at all, if it extend to no particulars?
A27069Nestorius,& c. And doth not Hesichius say as much of Andrew,( cited by me elsewhere?)
A27069No man can tell by this whether you unbishop all that had but one Parish or Congregation; or only all that had not Presbyters under them?
A27069No nor when Gregory''s and Ambrose''s Liturgies were striving for pre- eminence?
A27069Nor the Infallibility of those General Councils, who are accused by Popes and by other Councils of Error, Heresie or Schism?
A27069Not as whether the heart or head, but a Scab or Cancer, be essential to the body?
A27069Note Reader, that such a contradiction of any truth revealed by God, doth make a man an Heretick; O then what abundance of Hereticks be in the world?
A27069Note here whether the Roman Religion be mutable or not?
A27069Now to answer your Question, what it is whereby our Church- members are known?
A27069O but saith he, What horrid Doctrine would this be?
A27069O rare triumphant disputer, why should I not make the praedicate of the Minor the subject of the conclusion?
A27069Of what Christians?
A27069Or am I, and all Men, disobliged from loving all those as Christians, whom such as you will affirm to be no Christians?
A27069Or by the Fathers Catalogues, and by which Fathers( Epiphanius, Philastrius, Augustine,& c.) or by common custom, or by the Pope?
A27069Or do we read that the Apostles did use that argument, The authority of the Catholick Church, to convert their hearers?
A27069Or hath this Man pretended to be a Champion in that Art, in which he is below the Novices?
A27069Or how many will this Leven extend to?
A27069Or if he had, What''s that to the Pope?
A27069Or if it be whether the Laws or Canons of a small or Provincial Council, may oblige some men, though it were not general?
A27069Or is every Priest the Universal Church?
A27069Or is he Infallible?
A27069Or is it not fallacious in him that can shew us never a one of them?
A27069Or that the word of a Jesuite is a sufficient notice to us, what is in the Councils?
A27069Or the Indians when converted by Frumentius and Edesus?
A27069Or was he only to convert and gather them to the Church?
A27069Or what other points of faith are contained in our belief of this Church and its authority?
A27069Or which of the Cardinals are chosen by the Universal Church, or any other than the Pope himself?
A27069Or will you say, that he that believes not all that God hath revealed is a good Christian?
A27069Otherwise every act of the will which is willed by a former act should be called imperate, and so none but the first should be elicite?
A27069Our Question here was only of the matter of Fact: Whether, de facto, most of the Bishops and Churches have not been against the Papacy?
A27069Our Question is, Who must choose the Governour of all the world?
A27069Our question being, What constitut ● … a General Council?
A27069Q 3. Who are the Pastors whose rejection unchurcheth men?
A27069R. B. Alas, poor men ▪ are you driven to that?
A27069Reader is not here an excellent Disputer?
A27069Reader, if one of us had charged such doctrine on the Papists as this their Champion doth, should we not have been thought to slander them?
A27069Reader, if these Writers must not be ashamed of their tergiversation, what sort of Disputants should blush?
A27069Reader, is this any answer to any of the foresaid Objections?
A27069Reader, see here what an Issue our Dispute is brought to: Can you wish a plainer?
A27069Reader, what doth this man deserve for thus murdering the Papal cause?
A27069Reader, wouldst thou have yet more unchristened and damned than all these?
A27069Remember, Reader, that our question is not what mercy God sheweth to the rest of the world, nor whether any out of the Christian Church be saved?
A27069Saith he, Doth not this Proposition, Omne animal vivit, contain the substance of these truths, Equus vivit, Leo vivit, Aquila vivit,& c?
A27069Saith he, Is not an express knowledg of the Genus, a confused knowledg of species under it: and so the species of the individua?
A27069Say you so?
A27069Say you so?
A27069See you not how fair a thred you have spun?
A27069See, Reader, what the Papacy is come to, if it had not the sword, or ignorance to uphold it?
A27069Seeing this is not a matter of Revelation, it can be no matter of Divine faith; and if so, how is all other faith resolved into it?
A27069Shall I prove it to those that have read the Histories of the Councils, or to them that have not?
A27069Should not Constantinople, and Vienna, and Paris, be preferred before Rome?
A27069So that the Question, How I must believe the Churches Veracity herein?
A27069Speak out: Was he the bishop of the Infidels?
A27069Suppose they had: you say no particular Electors act is necessary ad esse; and why theirs?
A27069TO his Question, Why we separated from them?
A27069That at Constance, and Basil, and Pisa, or that at Florence, or the Later ● … ne that de fide contradict them?
A27069That it is such a belief of all particulars, as is no real actual belief of some of them; and it is an actual belief of other some?
A27069That men that know all that God hath reveal''d, and believe it, are Christians?
A27069That out of the Empire the Pope restored Bishops,( and did he depose any?)
A27069The first and second at Ephesus, or that of Calcedon which contradicteth the first indeed, and the second professedly?
A27069The man seemeth in good sadness in all this Childish Play; And must Rome be thus upheld?
A27069The marvellous Logician it seems is but for one mood or figure, but by what authority or Reason?
A27069The rest should have as fair play, if your interest were but as much for it?
A27069The true searcher of Hearts?
A27069The whole Christian World, as Headed only BY CHRIST,( Of which the Reformed are the soundest part) OR, THE POPE of ROME And his SUBJECTS as such?
A27069There is one Law- giver who is able to save and to destroy; who are you that make Laws for another''s Servants and judge them?
A27069These are generalities: What Popes?
A27069This is the man that would not dispute but in meer Syllogism, what need I an universal proposition?
A27069This was my question to you, Is not your Church then invisible, when no man can know what makes a member of it?
A27069To be a Member of a Council that hath the Sovereignty, is not to have the Sovereignty: Did you not know this?
A27069To my Instance of those converted by the English and Dutch in the Indies, he bids me prove them to be instructed in the true Faith?
A27069To the people, Presbyters, Bishops, Emperours or Cardinals?
A27069To this he saith, who ever called a King and his Viceroy, a Captain and Lieutenant two Heads?
A27069To this he saith,[ Why so?
A27069To this he saith[ Called they them alone?
A27069To what purpose should I do it?
A27069Ut suprà, what was said of it before?
A27069W. J. A ● … d did they profess the same Faith in all points of Faith, and those the very same wherein they dissented from the Church of Rome?
A27069WHAT mean you by the Catholick Church?
A27069Was France or Germany the Church?
A27069Was he not a Bishop there( before he had converted any one) to those seventeen alone?
A27069Was it all France and that Party, or Germany and that Party that were damned all those times?
A27069Was it for nothing else that they were judged Hereticks?
A27069Was it not by Innovation?
A27069Was it satisfied with those that the foresaid Council condemned as Heretical, wicked, and one of them a Devil incarnate?
A27069Was there no more in it?
A27069We beseech you, Vice Christi in Christs stead to be reconciled to God?
A27069We have heard some things, some things so oft, that we would fain know what things at last, are necessary ut media?
A27069Were any Concilia ● … Decrees executed on them?
A27069Were any called, or wrote to under the Name of Provinces, but the Roman Provinces?
A27069Were it not an impudent thing for any man to call together all the Bishops in the world?
A27069Were not the Councils of Constance, Basil, Pisa,& c. called to heal them?
A27069Were the businesses there agitated, any of theirs?
A27069Were these then Proper Schisms or not?
A27069Were they his Church?
A27069Were they no points of Faith, nor the denyal Heresie, for 300 years before the first General Council?
A27069What Absurdities do you thrust upon us?
A27069What Councils in particular?
A27069What Extraimperial Nations mean you, that owned Condemned Heresie?
A27069What Indian or Armenian Bishops were at any General Council before Constantine''s days, and where that Council was and when?
A27069What Law or Reason is against it, when i ● … is the subject of the question?
A27069What a stranger doth this Disputer make himself to the Fathers, if he know not that they frequently use the word Schism in another sense than his?

A27069What can not the Iesuits Morals make good?
A27069What disgraceful ignorance are you forced to pretend?
A27069What doth he but cheat us by his distinction of the substance and circumstances of Election?
A27069What election or consecration is necessary to it?
A27069What if it be but in particulor Assemblies?
A27069What if it were not an Accident, must it therefore needs be Essential?
A27069What if only a Provincial Council had Condemned any Heresie?
A27069What is Confirmation without which Qualifications, Election and Ordination make not a true Minister or Bishop?

A27069What is a Profession; but Words and Writings?

A27069What mean you by the Word POPE?
A27069What mean you by the word Bishop?
A27069What multiplied self- destroying answers are you driven to?
A27069What need I go over your Schisms?

A27069What personal qualification is necessary ad esse?
A27069What proof or notice must satisfie as in particulars, what is true tradition?
A27069What then?
A27069What''s all this, but to say, that I believe this proposition, All things, of which many are unknown to ● … e, are created by God?
A27069What''s this to the Government of all the World?
A27069What, not that we Love God, and are willing to understand and obey his Word?
A27069When I heard the word Evident, I lookt for something: But I had nothing but[ you can not deny it: and what true Christian ever yet denyed it?]
A27069When I know and feelmy Love, shall I believe a Pope that never saw me, that tells me, I do not know or feel it?
A27069When I next questioned, Whether the vulgar that know not Councils, resolve not their faith into the belief of the Parish- priest?
A27069When I said It is the whole company of Believers subject to Christ their head, are not the words significative enough of a governing Head?

A27069When did the Universal Church write a Commentary on the Bible?
A27069When every Member is imperfect in Knowledge, Faith, Love,( Holiness) Obedience, Iustice, Patience,& c. how can the Union be perfect?

A27069Where is your Proof that they so confess?
A27069Where said I that Election was jure humano?
A27069Whether all the Catholick Church did still submit to it?

A27069Why did he never tell us what that Heresie is?
A27069Why did you not name them?
A27069Why do you speak in such a manner as any ordinary Reader would think that you speak de jure& de facto, and yet mean de facto only?

A27069Why speak you of so great a sin as Rebellion against the Vice- Christ, and Schism from the Universal Church, without any note of reprehension?
A27069Why speak you so as an ordinary Reader would think that you spake d ● … statu statuto, when you mean but de praeente& statu inordinato?
A27069Why the Baptism of Hereticks( that change not the form) is counted valid, and Cyprian accounted Erroneous for denying it?
A27069Why then are their Councils and Commentaries written?
A27069Why then do the Apostles so oft protest that they speak the truth and lye not, even of that which they had seen and heard?
A27069Why then do you deny our English Clergy, when we judg them to have the true authority?
A27069Why then said you, that you call not for their Names?
A27069Will any Diocess suffice ad esse?
A27069Will any ones Election prove him to be Pope?
A27069Will not Cyril as much prove the contrary?
A27069Will one serve, or one thousand, to make all the rest Church- Members that believe it not?
A27069Will this distinguish their Church from Hereticks or Mahometans?
A27069Will you joyn in Sin with every Sinful Church for fear of Schism?
A27069Will you say that you meant in Voto?
A27069Would any man have understood that by[ Visible Assemblies] the man had not meant only[ Churches] but also Families, Schools, Cities,& c?
A27069Would he not, if he could?
A27069Would the Countries that are in War with those that send them, give them a free passage?
A27069Would the Gospel have been equally credible to us, if all the witnesses had in other matters been knaves and lyars?
A27069Yea, and can matter of faith and doctrine be as easily known as practised customs?
A27069Yea, if it be done causelessly upon a quarrel?
A27069Yet Innovation, in giving power to Patriarchs, is no wonder in Councils: How else came Constantinople and Ierusalem to be Patriarchs?
A27069Yet doth he back these absurdities with advising me to a little more heed to what I write?
A27069Yet doth the Man absurdly say to me, We are not agreed what the Universal Visible Church is: What of that?
A27069You are a Learned Man, who take Thracia to have been without the Empire; and must I therefore be of the same mind?
A27069You call the Luciferians, the Novatians,& c. Hereticks; and who can see reason to doubt but they might believe that all that God saith is true?
A27069You dare not say that God gave them that power; and if man did it, what men were they?
A27069You say, No Man may change his institution; but doth it follow that no man doth change it?
A27069[ How came the Bishops of Persia, of both the Armenia''s, and Gothia( which were all out of the Empire) to subscribe to the first Council of Nice?
A27069and at their beginning could they plead custom?
A27069and by what power?
A27069and contradict your self?
A27069and do you not constrain all that meet you to kneel down and adore?
A27069and how is the belief of this( which is no belief) called our implicite belief of all the word of God?
A27069and how shall we know them?
A27069and if by God, whether mediately or immediately?
A27069and many neither received nor rejected, but remained in suspense?
A27069and many of you, not so much as Christ himself; and yet is not all that Protestants teach the true Faith?
A27069and of what part?
A27069and so of many other contradictory ones?
A27069and so whether it be General, because those should come that do not?
A27069and that many of the barbareus, so called then, were within the Empire?
A27069and what is that all?
A27069and whether Papists make it not uncertain?
A27069and whether constancy be a note of their verity?
A27069and which?
A27069as well as the Scriptures?
A27069but if it be Councils you mean, which of them is it that we must believe, and why?
A27069but if they are capable, why may they not be there by their own right?
A27069but what is the[ All] that the man would have had?
A27069by the Pope, or Councils, or Bishops disjunct?
A27069by the major part of the Church, Bishops or Presbyters?
A27069by what divine revelation( before I can believe any other revelation)?
A27069can no man be saved that can not unriddle all these contradictions?
A27069did they not call many of those Councils General, though violent and erroneous which they cursed?
A27069even of this, and of their words to Leo?
A27069even your own wills?
A27069had they not the Authority of the Roman Bishop joyned with them, or rather presupposed to theirs?
A27069how many are deceived and deceivers, that call themselves infallible?
A27069how prove you that this man is no Christian, nor shall be saved?
A27069if you mean not them what mean you?
A27069in the name of the Council, to be directed to all Bishops, and in particular to the Churches throughout all Persia, and the great India?
A27069is it[ all those bodies of Christians] when we are all agreed that Christ hath but one political body?
A27069nor make them more knowing, and more honest, true and careful, that they may be the fitter to be believed?
A27069nothing essential to Christian faith in particular?
A27069of what consequence is Obedience to an Ambitious Pope or Priest, in comparison of Obedience to all the written Laws of God?
A27069or a Bishop depute a Priest or Deacon only to ordain?
A27069or a word of the Pope''s summoning them, but the contrary?
A27069or any certainty that any ● … ut of the Empire were there?
A27069or but one, or two?
A27069or by how many?
A27069or do they look that it should satisfie us?
A27069or how but by naming them by their Country and Profession?
A27069or how shall his power above others be known, when all the old pretensions faile?
A27069or of France?
A27069or of all Europe?
A27069or of all the World?
A27069or of part?
A27069or should believe by the bare reading of a Bible?
A27069or such as believe five Articles,& caetera?
A27069or that he is now alive?
A27069or that it is really a Man and not a Horse that is so called, any more than that Bucephalus was a Man?
A27069or that they always first told them of the authority of such a Church?
A27069or the Abassian Empire that till lately knew nothing of the Pope and his pretensions?
A27069or the Universal Iudg, Physician, School- master,& c. as well as the Universal Priest and Teacher of Religion?
A27069or they of Germany?
A27069or they of all Italy?
A27069or to that visibility of particular members?
A27069or when the first Law made hereabout was, but that no one should use a Form of Prayer till he had shewed it to the Synod?
A27069or whence?
A27069or who must elect him ad esse?
A27069or your Church from other men?
A27069saith, God made no Law for) where are their Commentaries?
A27069saving the Popes will, what makes the difference?
A27069saying, What should I say more of this Holy Man?
A27069such as you and your associates are?
A27069sufficient?
A27069sure you do not think him to be out of sight, or hearing, or far off, to whom you pray, and whom you so honour as present?
A27069tell you when Scythia( that is part of it) was conquered by Constantine?
A27069that the Heretick denieth also the material object( and what''s that to the case in hand?)
A27069that there be some?
A27069the whole Christian world, as headed only by Christ... or, the Pope of Rome and his subjects as such?
A27069the whole Christian world, as headed only by Christ... or, the Pope of Rome and his subjects as such?
A27069they of Rome?
A27069unless understanding things as they are will hurt your Cause?
A27069was it by such that you had your boasted printed victory over such great Logicians as Bishop Gunning and Bishop Pierson?
A27069was there no Division in the Church of Rome, when part cleaved to one Pope, and part to another for above forty years?
A27069what Church?
A27069what if a Priest depute a Lay- man to consecrate the Eucharist?
A27069what if none were lawful Councils that displease the Pope?
A27069what is it that is the substance?
A27069what satisfaction?
A27069when half Europe was for one, and the rest for another for forty years and more, with which of them was the Church satisfied?
A27069when he doubteth himself whether any such are to be found?
A27069when part of the Church was divided, and the greater part abhor''d them all?
A27069when the flock consenteth to the change,& c. else what seat is there that hath not had their succession interrupted and corrupted?
A27069when there have been four or five ways or sorts of Election, had not every one of them a beginning?
A27069when was it, and where?
A27069where is your Universal Commentary: if you had such a work; will your talk make us ignorant that Papists are not a third part of the Christian world?
A27069where shall we find their exposition of it?
A27069who are those Pastors?
A27069who hath asserted that?
A27069who knoweth not that the bishops and the people did always chuse the Presbyters, and not the Chapters?
A27069who would have expected such an answer, That it is a general belief of all things revealed, and a particular belief of some things?
A27069why then may not a Lay- man be deputed to preach, baptize, pray, consecrate and administer the Eucharist, excommunicate, absolve,& c. if deputed?
A27069will the deputation make them capable?
A27069without knowing why?
A27069would you think after all this, what his answer is?
A27069yea, and are not Councils uncertain which consist of such a Ministry?
A27069— Know you not that neither the Electors nor Consecrators of him, give him Papal jurisdiction, but Christ?
A18610& c. But how shall he know, first, that these are the notes of the Church, unlesse by Scripture, which you say he understands not?
A18610& c. Yet upon supposall of this miraculous Pilgrimage for Faith, before I haue the faith of Miracles, how shall I proceed at our meeting?
A1861011 But what Catholique maketh such a wise demaund as you put into our mouths?
A18610114 But you that would not have men follow their reason, what would you have them to follow?
A1861016 For what if the Prophets spake more obscurely of Christ, then of the Church?
A1861017 But doth indeed the source of their manifold uncertainties stop here?
A1861017 To the fourth, drawn as a Corollary from the former, Whether this be not to say, that of Persons contrary in beliefe, one part only can bee saved?
A1861017. of this Chapter, where you tell us, they had some of their Sect residing in Rome?
A1861018 And then for the Consent of the Ancients, that that also delivers it not, by whom are we taught but by Papists only?
A1861018 Moreover; I demand whether those corruptions which moved them to forsake the Communion of the visible Church, were in manners, or doctrine?
A186102 For first, the point in question, was not, that which you pretend, Whether both Papists and Protestants can be saved in their severall Professions?
A186102. now what is this but to live in a perpetuall lye?
A1861023 But, how can it be necessary( saith D. Potter) for any Christian to haue more in his Creed then the c Apostles had, and the Church of their times?
A1861031 Lastly, Quid verba audiam, cum fact a videam?
A1861041 But you aske, If the Church be not an infallible teacher, why are we commanded to hear, to seek, to obey the Church?
A1861044 But you will say, though he be not guilty of Heresy for believing these truths, yet if his faith be not saving, to what purpose will it be?
A1861044 But, if to be commonly received, passefor a good rule to know the Canon of the new Testament by, why not of the Old?
A1861045 You demand, upon what infallible ground we agree with Luther against you, in some, and with you against Luther in others?
A1861046 But let us see what S. Chrysostome saies, They( the Apostles) delivered not all things in writing( who denies it?)
A1861057 This certainty therefore in what language the Scripture remaines uncorrupted, is it necessary to haue it, or is it not?
A186106 And suppose it could defend it selfe from corruption, how could it assure us that it selfe were Canonicall, and of infallible verity?
A1861060 But what saies now his prevaricating Proxy?
A1861060 The Corruption that you charge Luther with, and the falsification that you impute to Zwinglius, what haue we to doe with them?
A1861061 But in earnest, Good Sir, doth the Doctor in these places by you quoted, make to this question this same sottish answer?
A1861083 For D. Covels commending your Translation, what is it to the businesse in hand?
A18610A Iudge may possibly erre in judgement, can he therefore never have assurance that he hath judged right?
A18610A travailer may possibly mistake his way, must I therefore be doubtfull whether I am in the right way from my Hall to my Chamber?
A18610Again, how shall I be assured that the places haue indeed this sense in them?
A18610Again, where doth D. Potter suppose( as you make him) that there were other Protestants, who believed that your Church had no errours?
A18610Againe, these notes will make the Church visible: But to whom?
A18610Am I a sufficient Iudge of these Controversies, or no?
A18610And I also demand upon what infallible ground you hold your Canon,& agree neither with us, nor Luther?
A18610And I also would gladly know, why you doe thus frame to your self vaine imaginations,& thē father them upon others?
A18610And after his decease, who shall confer Authority upon his Successours?
A18610And are not your fellow Iesuits also, even the prime men of your Order, prevaricators in this point as well as others?
A18610And as you made this long discourse against Protestants, why may not wee putting Church instead of Scripture, send it back again to you?
A18610And can they be excused from Schisme, under pretence that they held themselves obliged to forsake the Roman Church?
A18610And consequently how shall we know whether he were assistant to it or no, seeing he assists none but what he himselfe moves to?
A18610And consequently what need of the Article of the Church?
A18610And did he tell of his departure before it came to passe?
A18610And do not Protestants doe so likewise?
A18610And doe not you also, as freely as we, charge the Fathers with errors,& yet say they were saved?
A18610And doe you not pretend, that both these are the infallible Truths of Almighty God?
A18610And doe you not this by the direction of your private reason?
A18610And does he not in the same place peach Tertullian also,& in a manner give him away to the Arrians?
A18610And does not also giving the office of Iudicature to the Church, come to conferre it upon every particular man?
A18610And doth not this in effect import, that while we have the Sunne, we need no candles?
A18610And elsewhere, Which doth he i call his faith?
A18610And from whō I pray you, had Bishops their Authority, when there were no Christian Kings?
A18610And how can she decide them, if it be a question whether she be Iudge of them?
A18610And how can the Church more truely be said to perish, then when she is permitted to maintaine a damnable Heresy?
A18610And how can we say so, seeing the world can witnesse, that so many thousands, nay millions followed his standard as soone as it was advanced?
A18610And how then is this the question?
A18610And if I may be deceived, why may not you?
A18610And if any, what they bee?
A18610And if by Ecclesiasticall only, whether he might possibly so abuse his power, as to deserve to loose it?
A18610And if he judged a Reformation to be necessary, what a huge wickednesse was it in him, to promise silence if his adversaries would doe the like?
A18610And if it be not profitable, why does shee imploy particular Doctors to interpret Scriptures fallibly?
A18610And if it be the sole judge of this one, why may it not of others?
A18610And if it were, whether it were the Pope''s right, or an usurpation?
A18610And if not of that, of what Bible they were bound to believe it?
A18610And if not who is he or who are they, whom the Pope is so subject unto, that they may dispense with him?
A18610And if not, from whom the Church had this declaration afterwards?
A18610And if one must be the whole, why not the Greek Church, as well as the Roman?
A18610And if so, why not against her errors in doctrine, if she had any?
A18610And if they doe, how comes such difference among them in their Interpretations?
A18610And if they were so, why doe you accou ● t them Saints and Martyrs?
A18610And in another place he saith: Dost thou who art but One, and of no q account, take upon thee so great matters?
A18610And in another place; How can they ● ● unt z to have any Church, if he have ceased ever since those times?
A18610And indeed how can she be Iudge of them if she can not decide them?
A18610And indeed to what congregation shall a man have recourse for the affaires of his soule, if upon earth there be no visible Church of Christ?
A18610And is it as certaine?
A18610And is it not apparent to any one that has but halfe an eye, that in the 13. he speaks only to them that then were with him?
A18610And is it not apparently impossible, that any man should speak with all the members of the Militant Church?
A18610And is not the above cited confession of your Doway Divines, plain and full to the same purpose?
A18610And is not this to goe a little about?
A18610And lastly, whether many things which S. Luke has wrote in his Gospell, be not lesse principall, and lesse necessary then all and every one of these?
A18610And may not that be promised in other places, which is not promised in this?
A18610And may not we haue certainty enough that oftimes it does so?
A18610And notwithstāding any other differences that are or could be, Vnity of Communion and Charity and mutuall toleration?
A18610And of what I pray may it be a Summary, but of the Fundamentals of Christian faith?
A18610And pronounce generally of the Fathers before the Councell of Nice, That the Arrians would gladly be tryed by them?
A18610And seeing it is so, is it not an impertinent arrogance and presumption, for you to lay claim unto them, in the behalfe of your Church?
A18610And shall we not tremble to impute that to God, which we would take in foule scorne, if it were imputed to our selves?
A18610And tell us, I pray you, the precise number of errors which can not be tolerated?
A18610And then for hearing and obeying the Church, I would fain know, whether none may be heard and obeyed, but those that are infallible?
A18610And therefore to give a Catalogue of Truths in themselves fundamentall, is no pertinent satisfaction to this demand, what errors are damnable?
A18610And therefore your telling us, if she speak true, what danger is it not to believe her?
A18610And to interpret holy Scripture?
A18610And upon what ground can they belieue our Authors for that part wherein the Waldenses were like to Protestants, and imagine they lyed in the rest?
A18610And what assurance he can haue, that they neither erre, nor deceive him in this matter?
A18610And what can he answer, but that the Scripture saies so in these and these places?
A18610And what great inconvenience is there in that, that one part of England should have one Iudge, and another another?
A18610And what man of Iudgement will be a Protestant, since that Church is confessedly a corrupted one?
A18610And what now is become of their distinction?
A18610And where was that infallible direction in the Iewish Church when they should have received Christ for their Messias, and refused him?
A18610And wherein then consists their greater, their farre greater boldnesse?
A18610And whether he had not been instructed in all the necessary parts of the Gospell of Christ?
A18610And whether in the same place he set not some make upon Heretiques that will agree to your Church?
A18610And whether she can set us down such interpretations of all obscurities in the Faith as shall need no farther interpretations?
A18610And whether the Emperors had not authority, upon their desert, to deprive them of their jurisdiction, by imprisonment or banishment?
A18610And who are you, to take upon you to make us belieue, that we doe not belieue, what we know we doe?
A18610And who can better inform me, how far God''s Church can proceed, then Gods Church her selfe?
A18610And who dares say, that it is not damnable to continue a Separation from Christ?
A18610And who is more likely to know the Truth, they which lived within two ages of the fountain of it, or the Cardinall who lived sixteen ages after it?
A18610And why I pray is it so prodigiously strange that we give no answer to an unreasonable demand?
A18610And why did he teach them, that in vain they worshipped God, teaching for doctrines mens Traditions?
A18610And why did the Apostles call it tempting of God, to lay those things upon the necks of Christians, that were not necessary?
A18610And why doe you not inferre from hence, that no particular Church can bring up any Custome that is against faith or good manners?
A18610And why may not then the Apostles writings be as fit for such a purpose, as the Decrees of your Doctors?
A18610And why of your selues iudge you not what is right?
A18610And why then, O Luther, did you not beare with it?
A18610And why this liberty may not be practised against their Religion, if it be false, as well as for it if it be true?
A18610And why?
A18610And will you conclude from hen ● e, That Popes are not subject to the sins and passions of other men?
A18610And will you hence inferre, that not the Church Representative, but the Pope is indeed the infallible Iudge of Controversies?
A18610And will you say now that the Dominicans are justly chargable with all these blasphemies?
A18610Answer me then I pray directly, and categorically, Is it necessary that all Controversies in Religion should be determin''d, or is it not?
A18610Answere; whether the Church perished, or perished not?
A18610Are not these conscionable, and fit Reformers?
A18610Are not these errours of Luther, fundamentall?
A18610Are not these fearfull consequences?
A18610Are there not other places besides this?
A18610Are you able then to instruct us so well; as to be fit to say unto us, Now ye know what withholdeth?
A18610Are you sure of that?
A18610As for you, I desire you to be quiet, and to demand no more, whether God be wo nt to send such Furies to preach the Gospell?
A18610As if forsooth, because they dispute not eternally, Vtrū Chimaera bombinans in vacuo, possit comedere, secundas Intentiones?
A18610As if the Scripture might not be the first and most knowne Principle in Christianity, and yet not the most knowne in all Sciences?
A18610As if there were no difference between any thing, and any of these things?
A18610As if you should haue said, My Brethren I perceiue this is a great contention amongst you, whether the Roman Church be infallible?
A18610As they are commonly recieued,& c. I aske: By whom?
A18610Beleeve hee may doe so, and he can not but doe so?
A18610Believe them( Catholiques) that we ought to believe Christ; but learn of us what Christ said Why, I beseech thee?
A18610Believest thou the Prophets?
A18610Besides, from whence, but from our Histories are Protestants come to know; that there were any such men as the Waldenses?
A18610Besides, when even the Learned among you are not agreed concerning divers things, whether they be De Fide or not; how shall the unlearned doe?
A18610Besides, who can warrant us, that the Vniversall Traditions of the Church were all Apostolicall?
A18610But I pray tell me, Why can not Heresies be sufficiently discovered, condemned,& avoided, by them which believe Scripture to be the rule of Faith?
A18610But I pray walk not thus in generality, but tell us what particulars?
A18610But against whom maketh this, but( e) against those that obiect it?
A18610But are these Motives lastly infallible?
A18610But are we so sure and certain of them?
A18610But besides, what certainty have you, that that rule of Papists is so certain?
A18610But doth it likewise containe all points not to be disbelieved?
A18610But from whom had he such Authority?
A18610But how accepted?
A18610But how can they, which died in the first Age, keep us in Vnity, and guard us from Errour, that live now, perhaps in the last?
A18610But how much he taught, and whether all things necessary?)
A18610But how shall I know whether hee hold all fundamentall points or no?
A18610But how shall we know such Inscriptions, or Titles to be infallibly true?
A18610But how then can he possibly choose but belieue them?
A18610But how we could doe so without Schisme, seeing you err''d not at all?
A18610But how?
A18610But if I may think verily that I belieue the Scripture, and yet not belieue it; how know you that you belieue the Roman Church?
A18610But if the Catholique Church may erre, what certainty can you expect from Antiquity, or Doctours?
A18610But if there be no certainty in Reason, how shall I be assured of the certainty of those which you alleage for this purpose?
A18610But if there be no other ground of certainty but your Churches infallibility, upon what certain ground doe you know that your Church is infallible?
A18610But instead hereof what haue you brought us, but meer impertinencies?
A18610But is there no difference betweene may and must?
A18610But is this enough?
A18610But of this great fault my conscience acquits me, and God, who only knowes the hearts of all men, knowes that I am innocent?
A18610But seeing men may deceive, and be deceived, and their words are no demonstrations, how shall he be assured that what they say is true?
A18610But shall I tell you newes?
A18610But some one or two Articles of beleif?
A18610But suppose the difference be( as here it is) whether your Church be infalli ● le, what shall decide that?
A18610But supposing he saies this, and saies true, whether he meanes this or no?
A18610But that Church is not now in the world, and how then, can it pretend to be the guide of Faith?
A18610But the comforter, shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have told you v. 26?
A18610But then besides, that the united Church can not be consulted, and the dispersed may, what a wild imagination is it?
A18610But then besides, where doth D. Potter acknowledge any such matter as you pretend?
A18610But then this Vigilancy of your Church, what meanes haue we to be ascertain''d of it?
A18610But to what end should we use many arguments?
A18610But untill then, as he said in the Comedy, Quid verba audiam cum facta videam?
A18610But what answer doe S. Austine and Optatus make to this accusation?
A18610But what if they did not performe their duty in this point, but suffered this Tradition to be lost out of the memory of the Church?
A18610But what is that which you mean to grant?
A18610But what is this but to abuse your Reader with the proofe of that which no man denies?
A18610But what is this, but to make no difference betwen a diseased and a dead man?
A18610But what need we labour to specify particulars?
A18610But what reason have you for this conceipt?
A18610But what sense is there that you should collect out of these words, that every member of the militant Church must be consulted with?
A18610But what think you of the Argument framed thus?
A18610But what?
A18610But whether by Divine right, and by Christs appointment he were Head of the Catholique Church?
A18610But who I pray are they that teach them?
A18610But who are they that pretend, they forsooke the Churches corruptions, and not her externall communion?
A18610But why doe you aske me this question?
A18610But why may not the Roman be content to be a part of it, and the Grecian another?
A18610But you presse us farther, and demand, what visible Church was extant, when Luther began, whether it were the Roman or Protestant Church?
A18610But( say you) if they doe not separate themselves from the Society of the wicked persons, how doe they free themselves from the common disease?
A18610But, Whether you may without uncharitablenesse affirme that Protestancy unrepented destroyes Salvation?
A18610By Lutherans?
A18610By saying so?
A18610C. And in these you said the Church may erre?
A18610C. And this supposition you are uncertain of?
A18610C. How know you then, whether this be a fundamentall Point or no?
A18610C. It may be then( for ought you know) an unfundamentall point?
A18610C. Then in other points She may erre?
A18610C. Then possibly it may erre in this?
A18610C. Then what certainty have you, that it does not erre in it?
A18610C. What?
A18610C. and doe you know what Points are Fundamentall, what not?
A18610Can not generall Councells, which are the Church representatiue, erre?
A18610Can we imagine, that either they omitted something necessary, out of ignorance not knowing it to be necessary?
A18610Can yee, or dare you say, this or this was this hindrance which S. Paul here meant, and all men under pain of damnatiō are to believe it?
A18610Can you say the Creed?
A18610Can you shew it to be a fundamentall point of faith, that the Apostles intended to comprize all points of faith necessary to Salvation in the Creed?
A18610Christ w is of profit to Children baptized; Is he therefore of profit to persons not believing?
A18610Could any man, even for a Fee, haue spoken more home to condemn your Predecessors of Schisme, or Heresy?
A18610Could they haue stronger Motives to oppose the doctrine of the Church, and leave her Communion, then evidence of Scripture?
A18610Dare then any body say, that they erred who delivered it?
A18610Did not, I pray you, S. Mathew, and S. Iohn belieue their writings to be Canonicall Scripture?
A18610Did the Comforter bring these things to the Remembrance of your Church, which Christ had before taught and she had forgotten?
A18610Did the Pope, by the Baptisme of Princes, loose the spirituall Power he formerly had of conferring spirituall Iurisdiction upon Bishops?
A18610Did they censure no man, much lesse any Church?
A18610Did your Reformers imitate this manner of proceeding?
A18610Doe not they agree in those things, wherein they doe agree?
A18610Doe not you cite Scripture, or Tradition, or both, on both sides?
A18610Doe not you see and feele how void of reason and how full of impiety your sophistry is?
A18610Doe not your Purging Indexes, clip the tongues, and seal up the lips of a great many for such confessions?
A18610Doe so many worlds erre?
A18610Doe they at the same time remain in the company, and yet depart from those infected creatures?
A18610Doe they at the same time remaine in the company and yet depart from those infected creatures?
A18610Doe they confesse and maintaine it?
A18610Doe they only understand the agreement of the Church to be a probable inducement?
A18610Doe they therefore not belieue what they doe belieue, because they doe it upon insufficient motiues?
A18610Doe we know the lesuites no better then so?
A18610Doe ye thinke it is not lawfull, Omni fideli, for every faithfull man to conceive and constitute?
A18610Doe you not blush for shame at this Sophistry?
A18610Doe you think it reasonable that we should subscribe to Luther''s divinations and angry speeches?
A18610Doe you think that the Apostles taught Christians nothing but their Creed?
A18610Doe you think us so stupid, as that wee can not distinguish between that which D. Potter sayes, and that which you make him say?
A18610Does it follow from any, or all these things, that the Church of Christ must be alwaies Visible?
A18610Doth not this man tell Luther, what the will of God was, which he transgressing, must of necessity bee guilty of Schisme?
A18610Easie to doe?
A18610Either I may judge of them, or not: if not, why doe you propose them?
A18610For I demand, these some Articles which you speak of, which are they?
A18610For a foundation to support the house, and the house to support the foundation?
A18610For before any man believes the Church infallible, must he not have reason to induce him to believe it to be so?
A18610For by this kind of arguing, what may not be deduced?
A18610For doe not your men and women judge your Religion to be true, before they believe it, as well as the men and women of other Religions?
A18610For example, if I aske you why you doe beleive Transubstantiatiō?
A18610For first in saying, What if the Apostles had not left Scripture, ought we not to have followed the order of Tradition?
A18610For he that beleeves not all knowne Divine Revelations to be true, how does he believe in God?
A18610For how can he superinduce damnable heresies, who is supposed to believe all Truths necessary to salvation?
A18610For how can they possibly fall into the same errors by forsaking your Communion, which that they may forsake they doe forsake your Communion?
A18610For if all Scripture be obscure, how come you to know the sense of these places?
A18610For if it did assent already, to what purpose should the Scripture doe that which was done before?
A18610For if the Church may erre in points not fundamentall, may she not also erre in the particulers which I have specified?
A18610For if they doe not separate themselues from the society of the infected persons, how doe they free themselues from the common disease?
A18610For if they doe not separate themselves from the Society of the infected persons; how doe they free themselves and depart from the common disease?
A18610For if they had, why did they in many places reject it and differ from it?
A18610For otherwise, in stead of such generall heads, and such Articles, why did not you say plainly, all such, or some such?
A18610For the point here issuable is not, whether S. Peter were head of the Church?
A18610For what divell incarnate could meerely pretend a separtion, and not rather some other motive of vertue, truth, profit, or pleasure?
A18610For what else is the cause, that generally all the Dominicans are of one opinion, and all the Iesuits of the other?
A18610For what if S. Cyprian holding his opinion true but not necessary, condemned no man( much lesse any Church) for holding the contrary?
A18610For what is discourse, but drawing conclusions out of premises by good consequence?
A18610For what prodigious doctrines are these?
A18610For what repugnance is there between these two suppositions, that you doe hold some errors, and that they are not damnable?
A18610For what?
A18610For whereas you suppose, first, that to a man desirous to save his soul, and requiring, whose direction he might rely upon?
A18610For wherein, I pray, lies this foule contradiction?
A18610For who can make any thing of these words taken properly, that faith must be an unknown unevident assent, or an assent absolutely obscure?
A18610For who ever told you, that to be commonly received is a good Rule to know the Canon of the New Testament by?
A18610For who would trust another in matters of highest consequence, and be affraid to rely on him in things of lesse moment?
A18610For why should men be more rigid then God?
A18610For( as the holy Ghost saith in i Iob) doth God need your lye, that for him you may speak deceipts?
A18610For( say you) if she wanted nothing necessary to Salvation, how could it be necessary to Salvation to forsake her?
A18610For, is it not a grievous sinne, to deny any one truth contained in holy Writ?
A18610For, to give an instance, what Blasphemy against God, or voluntary false Oath is not a deadly sinne?
A18610From what earth did he spring?
A18610From what heaven did he drop?
A18610God indeed is oblig''d by his Veracity to doe all that hee has promised, but is there any thing that binds him to doe no more?
A18610Had Christ been present with your Church?
A18610Had we not had as plain direction to depart frō you in some things profitable, as to adhere to you in things necessary?
A18610Hath the temporall Magistrate authority to preach, to assoile from sinnes, to inflict excommunications, and other Censures?
A18610Hath your Church been ancient?
A18610Hath( saith he) the Holy Ghost nothing to doe in Councells, but to binde, and load his Ministers with impossible, dangerous, and unnecessary lawes?
A18610Haue you never heard that Protestants say, That men for their direction must consult with Scripture?
A18610Hereafter therefore, I intreat you, let not your demand be, how could we forsake your Communion without Schisme, seeing you err''d not damnably?
A18610Hereupon I would aske him, how shall I be assured, that the Scriptures are incorrupted in thse places?
A18610How comes it to passe that he dissented from the Authority of that Church, touching the Canon of the Old Testament?
A18610How falleth it out that men being assured of any thing by sence, can be no surer of it then they are?
A18610How is it likely that so many and so great Churches should erre in one faith?
A18610How it could be damnable to maintain her errors, if they were not fundamentall?
A18610How many Schoole Questions which she hath not, happily can not determine?
A18610How of disagreeing Protestants, both parts may hope for salvation, seeing some of them must needs erre against some Truth testified by God?
A18610How often( saith he) did my trembling heart p beat within me, and reprehending me, obiect against me that most strong argument; Art thou only wise?
A18610How shall I confer with every Christian soule, man and woman, by sea and by land, close prisoner, or at liberty?
A18610How then shall I know what points of beliefe, which direct my practise, be necessary to salvation?
A18610How then shall I know which in particular be, and which be not fundamentall?
A18610How then will she assure us hereof, By saying so?
A18610How was it possible that S. Iames, and S. Iude in their Catholique Epistles should not giue this Catholique direction?
A18610I appeale now to any indifferent judge, whether these cases be the same or neere the same with D. Potters?
A18610I ask you again, seeing your eye- fight may deceive you, how can you be sure you see the Sunne, when you doe see it?
A18610I aske you again, can you be sure that you understand what I, or any man else saies?
A18610I demaund again, how can you assure your selfe or me of that, being ready to embrace it if it may appeare to be so?
A18610I demaund then lastly: Why should I beleive this company to be the infallible Propounder of Divine Revelation?
A18610I have yet many things to say unto you, but yee can not beare them now?
A18610I would know therefore, whether by believing, you mean explicitely or implicitely?
A18610I would know what you esteem the Proposalls of the Catholike visible Church?
A18610If Carolostadius, Luthers of spring, was the Divell, who but himself must be his damme?
A18610If God permit such, so many,& all to erre; why may he not permit thee to erre?
A18610If I aske, what meane You by your Church?
A18610If I had not come and spoken unto you( saith our Saviour) you had had no sinne?
A18610If I may, why doe you say I may not, and make it such a monstrous absurdity, That men in the choyce of their Religion should make use of their Reason?
A18610If any man aske how could it become universall in so short a time?
A18610If certainty and obscurity will stand together, what reason can be imagin''d that a Protestant may not entertain them both as well as a Papist?
A18610If he can, then I would know, whether he should be infallibly directed in these expositions, or no?
A18610If he haue no such authority, how can he giue to others what himselfe hath not?
A18610If he should enquire what assurance he might have, that the Scripture is the word of God?
A18610If he should enquire where he should find this direction?
A18610If he should, then what need he to stay for irresistible motion?
A18610If it be necessary, what became of your Church for 1500 yeares together?
A18610If it be repugnant to what you said for him falsely, what is that to him?
A18610If it be, why is the question of Predetermination, of the immaculate conception, of the Popes indirect power in temporalties, so long undetermined?
A18610If it had, how insolent and mad are yo ●, that have not only disputed against it, but utterly abolished it?
A18610If it had, then I demand, was it that, set forth by Sixtus, or that, set forth by Clement, or a third different from both?
A18610If it were his right, whether by Divine Law or Ecclesiasticall?
A18610If not, how is their authority, a greater argument for the Roman, then for the other Churches?
A18610If not, seeing our case( take it at the worst) is but the same, why should not your judgement of us be the same?
A18610If not, with what face dare you approve them, and yet pretend that all your doctrine is Apostolicall?
A18610If not; why doe you trouble us with what Luther saies, and what Calvin saies?
A18610If of these, why shall I stay here, why not of others?
A18610If our Religion be a safe way to heaven, that is, not damnable; why doe you not follow it?
A18610If she could not perish, what madnesse moved the sect of Donatus to separate, upon pretence to avoid the Communion of bad men?
A18610If some places of it be plain, why should we stay here?
A18610If the Apostles Creed contain all points necessary to Salvation, what need have wee of any Church to teach us?
A18610If the Church perished, what Church brought forth Donatus,( you say Luther?)
A18610If the first, why doe you say presently after, that some disbelieve, what others of them believe?
A18610If then she perished, what Church brought forth D ● natus?
A18610If they could, why may we not be as well assured, that we understand sufficiently, what we conceive plaine in their writings?
A18610If they haue not meanes; why doe you finde fault with them, for not agreeing?
A18610If this may be done, why then did our Savlour reprehend the Pharises so sharpely, for binding heavy burdens, and laying them on mens shoulders?
A18610If to Yours, whether sufficient, or insufficient?
A18610If to be Commonly received, passe for a good rule to know the Canon of the New Testament; why not of the Old?
A18610If to some, whether to Yours?
A18610If we be, why doth God so often prove his promises unto us, as he doth by arguments taken from our sensible experience?
A18610If we may not judge of these things, how can my judgment be moved with that which comes not within its cognizance?
A18610If you aske me how I can be sure that I know the true meaning of these places?
A18610If you aske, seeing we may possibly erre, how can we be assured we doe not?
A18610If you doe not, I pray you tell me what direction you follow?
A18610If you doe not, how know you that there is any Church Infallible, and that these are the notes of it,& that this is the, Church that hath these notes?
A18610If you doe, why doe you condemne it in others?
A18610If you mean implicitely, I would know whether your Churches infallibility be under pain of damnation to be believed explicitely, or no?
A18610If your Church be infallibly directed concerning the true meaning of Scripture, why doe not your Doctors follow her infallible direction?
A18610In a word, what should hinder, but that, that Prayer — Delicta sua quis intelligit?
A18610In what mood or figure, would this conclusion follow out of these Premises?
A18610In which way if there be no certainty, I would know what certainty you have, that your Doway old, and Rhemish new Testament are true translations?
A18610Indeed if she propose such, as matters of faith certainly true, she may well be questioned, Quo Warranto?
A18610Infallible in all things, or only in Fundamentalls?
A18610Is Achaia neere thee?
A18610Is Almighty God wo nt to send such furies to preach the Gospell?
A18610Is it because this would not be profitable for Christians, that Scripture should be Interpreted?
A18610Is it not the same You he speaks to, in the 13. v. and that he speaks to in the 14?
A18610Is not this for a Father to beget his Sonne, and the Sonne to beget his Father?
A18610Is not this to verifie the name of Heresie, which signifieth Election or Choice?
A18610Is there hope of gaining a Proselite?
A18610Is there in all this or any part of it any kind of proofe of this scandalous calumny?
A18610Is there in such deniall, any distinction betwixt points fundamentall, and not fundamentall, sufficient to excuse from heresy?
A18610Is this Devotion in the Church of England an argument that shee is coming over to the Church of Rome?
A18610Is this a signe that they are warping towards Popery?
A18610Is this only to offer his opinion to be considered of, as you said all men ought to doe?
A18610Is your Church a meanes to keep men at vnity?
A18610Is your Church universall for time or place?
A18610It will serve to keepe an Arrian, or a Grecian from being a Roman Catholique, as well as a Catholique from being an Arrian, or a Grecian?
A18610King Edward, a Child?
A18610King Henry, neither a Catholique, nor a Protestant?
A18610Lastly, to your Question, How can the Church more truly be said to perish, then when she is permitted to maintaine a damnable Heresy?
A18610Lastly, why it is not sufficient for any mans salvation to use the best meanes he can to inform his conscience, and to follow the direction of it?
A18610Let them that doe so, not be a Church, but a damned Crew of Sycophants: What is this to the Visibility of the Church?
A18610Let this therefore be granted; and what will come of it?
A18610May not he be better then his word, but you will quarrell at him?
A18610May not his Bounty exceed his Promise?
A18610May not the Church be Invisible, and yet these that are of it professe their faith?
A18610May the Church of after Ages make the narrow way to heaven, narrower then our Saviour left it?
A18610Must I then consult with every particular person of the Catholique Church?
A18610Must the Church wax dry, by giving to her Children the milke of sacred Writ?
A18610Must the Greeke Patriarchs receiue spirituall Iurisdiction from the Greek Turk?
A18610Nay does not D. Potter say as much in plain termes?
A18610Nay doth not the true examining of these few, containe and lay upon me the examination of all?
A18610Nay indeed how were it possible it should be so, any more then a Father can beget a Sonne that he hath already?
A18610Nay is it not apparent, that no man at this time, can without hypocrisy, pretend to believe in Christ, but of necessity he must doe so?
A18610Nay more, in this very page out of which you take this peece of your Cento, A Generall Councell may erre damnably?
A18610Nay rather would not the dissentions about the Person who it is, increase contentions, rather then end them?
A18610Nay, doth not D. Potter say it often in this very Book which you are confuting?
A18610Neither is it so evident as to need no proofe: otherwise why brought you this Text to proue it?
A18610Nor whether he had authority over it given him by the Church?
A18610Nor whether the Bishop of Rome had any priority in the Church?
A18610Nothing but this Article onely, that Christ is our Saviour?
A18610Now I beseech you Sir, tell me ingenuously, whether the doctrine of Christ may be called without blasphemy, scarcely one point of Faith?
A18610Now I demand, was this Tradition one of those that was conserved, and observed in the Church of Rome, or was it not?
A18610Now I pray tell me plainly, Had they sufficient certainty what Scripture was Canonicall, or had they not?
A18610Now the Pope can not be a true Pope if he came in by Simony: which whether he did or no, who can answer mee?
A18610Now what else doe we understand by an unfundamentall error, but such a one with which a man may possibly be saved?
A18610Now what is oppos''d to Absolute, but limited, or restrained?
A18610Now who can ascertain me, that the spirits teaching is not of this nature?
A18610Now you affirme I grant, but what Protestant ever denied, that it was a sinne to giue God the lye?
A18610Of this very affirmation, there will remain the same Question still; how it can prove it selfe to be infallibly true?
A18610On the other side, when you aske D. Potter, who assured him that there it any meanes to determine this Controversie?
A18610Or an Architect build an house that is built already?
A18610Or as if to be a First Principle in Christianity, and in all Sciences, were all one?
A18610Or because S. Peter the Master dictated the Gospell, and S. Marke the Scholler writ it, is it the more likely to be called in Question?
A18610Or can our London carrier have no certainty, in the middle of the day, when he is sober and in his wits, that he is in the way to London?
A18610Or doe you meane by sufficiently propounded as Divine Truths, all that your Church propounds for such?
A18610Or doe you think that against an Heretique nothing is unlawfull?
A18610Or doe you your selves know that ye may instruct us?
A18610Or doth it follow, because he may doe so, therefore he alwayes shall or will doe so?
A18610Or had it not been a damnable sinne to doe so, though the Errours in themselves were not damnable?
A18610Or how can you possibly reconcile it, with your doctrine of free- will in believing, if it be not of this nature?
A18610Or how have thy not deceived us, in giving them such titles?
A18610Or how shall I know the man on whom I may securely rely?
A18610Or how shall I know the man on whom I may securely rely?
A18610Or if hee had spoken with them all, know that he had done so?
A18610Or if one heare a voice, and had never known the speaker, could he know from whom in particular that voice proceeded?
A18610Or if the Reformation were not indeed intended by him, nor judged to be necessary, how can he be excused frō damnable Schisme?
A18610Or if yet he had, how could they without Schisme withdraw themselves from his obedience?
A18610Or if you grant it your perswasion, why is it not the perswasion of men, and in respect of the subject of it, an humane perswasion?
A18610Or knowing it to be so, malitiously concealed it?
A18610Or out of negligence''did the work they had undertaken by halfes?
A18610Or pluck out their eyes and goe blindfold?
A18610Or that all points of Faith are contained in Scripture?
A18610Or that the Church can not make new Articles of Faith?
A18610Or that the Church of Rome, as it signifies that particular Church or Diocesse, is not all one with the universall Church?
A18610Or that the Pope as a private Doctor may erre?
A18610Or that which is contained in the Bookes of Origen?
A18610Or that, if they had done so, they had done better then now they have done?
A18610Or that, to extoll the integrity and knowledge, and to avouch the necessity of a Iudge in suits of Law, were to deny perfection in the Law?
A18610Or then this very world can bee made againe before it be unmade?
A18610Or to submit himself to the Pope, so that he might not be compelled to recant?
A18610Or was it because your Reason told you, that herein he meant onely to repeat and not to limit what he said before?
A18610Or what assurance can you give us, that they might not bring in new and false Articles, as well as suffer the old and true ones to be lost?
A18610Or what one Conclusion almost of importance is there in your Book, which is not by this one cleerly confutable?
A18610Or where does he say, that( from which you collect this) you wanted nothing Fundamentall, or necessary to Salvation?
A18610Or whether all these be Infallible?
A18610Or whether there be nothing in it, but only this Article, That Christ is our Saviour?
A18610Or who can hope for that End, without such meanes?
A18610Or will not this interpretation drive you presently to this blasphemous absurdity, that God hath not performed his promise?
A18610Or would you have all men believe all your Doctrine upon the Churches infalli ● ● ● ● ● y, and the Churches infallibility they know not why?
A18610Or would you have him beleeve those things true, which together with him you have supposed to be Errors?
A18610Or would you have him continue in your Communion, and yet professe your Church to erre?
A18610Or, why may we not as well think he will stay at the first thing, that is, in teaching the Church what Bookes be true Scripture?
A18610Otherwise with what colour can you defend either your own refusing the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy?
A18610Provided he constitute only what is not repugnant to Gods will, what is conducible for discipline and available to salvation?
A18610Put case a man by these considerations should be cast into some agonies; what advise, what comfort would you give him?
A18610Queen Elizabeth, a Woman?
A18610She pretends indeed infallibility herein, but how can she assure us that she hath it?
A18610Sic notus Vlysses?
A18610Such is the Church, and the Scripture is not such?
A18610Suppose Xaverius had been to write the Gospell of Christ for the Indians, think you he would have left out any Fundamentall doctrine of it?
A18610That all things necessary are contain''d in Scripture?
A18610That by the Churches consent they are assured what Scriptures be Canonicall?
A18610That of the Roman Church?
A18610That she neither approues, nor dissembles, nor practises any thing against Faith or good life, but onely of good men in the Church?
A18610That shee hath done what she could, and what she ought?
A18610That shee hath with due fidelity dispensed the Gospell of Christ?
A18610That some time Churches had one Iudge of Controversies, and others another?
A18610That the Apostles did put no Article in their Creed but only that of the Church?
A18610That to depart from the Church of Rome, there might be iust and necessary l canse?
A18610That with moneths, or yeares, as new Canonicall Scripture grew to be published, the Church altered her whole Rule of faith, or Iudge of Controversies?
A18610That you may not neither; For the Question betweene us is this; Whether your Churches Proposition be a sufficient Proposition?
A18610That you say may deceiue in other things, and why not in this?
A18610The Angelicall Doctor S. Thomas proposeth this Question: Whether o he who denieth one Article of faith, may retain faith in other Articles?
A18610The Church, you say, is infallible; I am very doubtfull of it: How shall I know it?
A18610The Primate of England?
A18610The Question here is, you say, whether men of different Religions may be saved?
A18610The Question is not, whether an infallible Church might agree with Scripture, but whether, there be an Infallible Church?

A18610Why should any errour exclude any man from the Churches Communion, which will not deprive him of eternall salvation?
A18610Why then doth S. Paul say to Timothy, The Scriptures are able to make him wise unto Salvation?
A18610Why?
A18610Will D. Potter oblige the Church to doe more then she may even hope for?
A18610Will he therefore inferre that the Creed is not perfect, because it containes not all those necessary, and fundamentall Objects of faith?

A18610Yea but what if they dye in their errors with repentance?
A18610Yet his thinking so is no reason for you or me to think so, unlesse you suppose him infallible; and if you doe, why doe you write against him?
A18610Yet the want of such a protection was no hinderance to their salvation, and why then shall the having of it be necessary for ours?
A18610Yet upon supposall( you say) of this miraculous pilgrimage for faith, before I have the faith of Miracles, how shall I proceed at our meeting?
A18610You have been with me from the beginning: c. 15. v. 27?
A18610Your next demand then is, Are all the Articles of the Creed for their nature and matter Fundamentall?
A18610and consequently their preaching, and writing, were not infallible in points not fundamentall?
A18610and consequently what need of the Article concerning the Church?
A18610and doe not bid men to receive any book which she delivers, for that reason, because she delivers it?
A18610and must he not judge of those reasons, whether they be indeed good and firme, or captious and sophisticall?
A18610and that in some points they agreed with the Protestants,& disagreed from them in others?
A18610and what a strange injustice was it in you to father it upon him?
A18610and who affirme that a reconciliation with us is damnable?
A18610and yet if Protestants deny the infallibility of the Church, upon what certaine ground can they disproue these Lutherian, and Luciferian blasphemies?
A18610are there not these plain words, In searches of Truth, the Scripture?
A18610are you content that they shall be saved, or doe you hope they may be so?
A18610as it was at first proposed, but Whether Protestancy in it selfe( that is abstracting from ignorance and contrition) destroies Salvation?
A18610but many things also without writing,( who doubts of it?)
A18610doth the Creed contain all points necessary to be believed, whether they rest in the understanding, or else doe further extend to practise?

A18610may not he doe what he will with his own?
A18610of his Reply to K. Iames?
A18610of his fourth observation?
A18610or because they are not so, have we no certainty of the falshood of them?
A18610or how can it consist with his justice, to require of men to know certainly the meaning of those words, which he himselfe hath not revealed?
A18610or rather are we not worse, then eyther of them?
A18610or to performe on earth that which is proper to heaven alone?
A18610or tumultuous persons in a kingdome?
A18610or whether he saies this or no?
A18610or whether it consists only, of some one or few Articles of belief?
A18610or whether you follow none at all?
A18610or why does not, Without, Alone, signifie all one with, Alone, Without?
A18610p. 223. of D. Potters Booke:) but, whether any thing can be necessary for Christians to beleeve now, which was not so from the beginning?
A18610seeing the Lord sayes, why even of our selves, judge yee nor what is right?
A18610so may I say to you, Quid verba audiam cum facta non videam?
A18610their Passion?
A18610then the teaching for Doctrines mens commands in the Gospell of S. Mark?

A18610to deny Law- men the Cup in the Sacrament?
A18610to invocate Saints and Angels?
A18610to leave reason for a short turne, and then to come to it again, and to doe that which you condemne in others?
A18610to picture the Trinity?
A18610to prohibite certain Orders of men and woemen to marry?
A18610to repaire that which is ruined; to reforme that which was corrupted, or to reviue that which was dead?
A18610to the Colossians?
A18610unlesse we must think that fallible Interpretations of Scripture are profitable, and infallible interpretations would not be so?
A18610v. 6?
A18610were they by the Apostles appoved for Canonicall, or no?
A18610what would you say of such Reformers in your Colledge?
A18610who can understand his faults?
A18610will you oblige your selfe to answer for all the assertions of your private Doctors?
A18610y Shall I hazard my soule on probabilities, or even wagers?
A61588( But, Are you sure your Church will be infallible in that too?)
A61588( Quid sentiunt obsecro de Christo qui putant eum ejusmodi cantiunculis delectari?)
A61588( saith he) Whither would you turn your self?
A615882. Who shall be Judge of all those conditions implyed in the Councils proceedings?
A615883. Who must be judge in what sense, and how far the Council is Infallible?
A615884. Who better understood Irenaeus his mind, than himself?
A615884. Who must be judge, that the Popes Confirmation is necessary to make the Decrees Infallible?
A61588A Jesuite or a Minister?
A61588Abdicatâ enim qualibet parte Catholici dogmatis, alia quoque item atque alia,& c. quid aliud ad extremum sequetur, nisi ut totum pariter repudietur?
A61588Again, suppose he means the present Church, Doth he mean the infallible Testimony of the present Church?
A61588And I pray now consider with your self, Whether this Answer which you say hath been given a hundred times over, can satisfie any reasonable man?
A61588And I pray what excellent persons were those who undervalued the Authority of the African Bishops, and ran to Rome?
A61588And all this come in with an 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, if it please you?
A61588And are not such more zealously disputed for, than the plain Articles of Faith, and the indispensable precepts of the Christian Religion?
A61588And are not you then guilty of that fault every time a Quaker or Enthusiast tells you, That the Spirit of God within him told him this and that?
A61588And can any new Definitions of the Church pretend to all, or any of these?
A61588And can any one believe their assistance, before he believes they are?
A61588And can any spiritual blessings be greater than deliverance from hell, eternal glory, and the forgiveness of sins?
A61588And can any thing be known to be revealed by God, but by an Authority Divine?
A61588And can any thing be necessary for eternal life, which he never declared?
A61588And can you call then that any free inevident Assent, which goes no further than the Object appears credible?
A61588And do not you think this enough to charge his Lordship with shamefully abusing S. Austin?
A61588And do you not think, this were an excellent way to confute Atheists?
A61588And for all this, Must all these persons be intruders, and intrude themselves by force, and that into the places of other lawful Bishops?
A61588And for all this, Was there no need of Reformation in the Church of Judah?
A61588And hath Christ instituted a Monarchy in his Church and said nothing of all these things?
A61588And have not we the greatest reason to rely on the Originals when the Pope himself appeals to them, and reforms by them?
A61588And how can we have better evidence of his judgement, touching that principality, then the actions of his life?
A61588And how durst any of them slight the thunderbolts which the Pope threatned them with?
A61588And how then can you still assert an infallible Testimony of the conveyers of Divine Revelation, to be necessary to a Divine Faith?
A61588And if Bishops, Whether all these collectively, or else by way of Representation in a Council?
A61588And if God must hear our prayers for the merits of the Saints, how much fall they short of sharers in the mediation of Redemption?
A61588And if a Council be called, is it reasonable or just, that he should sit as President in it, because he pretends to be the Head over the members?
A61588And if any other Churches neglect themselves, What reason is it that the rest should?
A61588And if in some cases, then the question comes to this, whether the present be some of those cases or no?
A61588And if it be pride in us not to believe gross errours imposed on us, Is it not much more intolerable in them who offer to impose them?
A61588And if it be so with the definition of a Council too, where is then the Scriptures Prerogative?
A61588And if it may yield such evidence, why doth it not so?
A61588And if so great a Council as this, must be reprobated on that account; Why not all others, where there are suspicions of the same arts and subtilties?
A61588And if some, why not all of them?
A61588And if this be so, To what end such a trouble for a General Council?
A61588And if we can have no assurance of them, what obligation can lye upon us to believe them?
A61588And is it possible that such men should all of them conceal such a Doctrine as this, which would so easily appear in the face of the Church?
A61588And is it possible then for you to think That St. Austin made the succession of Bishops at Rome in any sense the Catholick Church?
A61588And is not this a rare Church the mean while?
A61588And is not this then a plain circle?
A61588And is there not then as much danger of Enthusiasm in believing the Testimony of your Church, as in believing the Scriptures?
A61588And is this now the offer made of the title of Vniversal Bishop by the Council of Chalcedon?
A61588And must six fugitive Greek- Bishops give vote here for all the Eastern Churches; and two fugitive English- Bishops for all the Church of England?
A61588And the most obvious objection being, If a General Council be fallible, what is to be done in case it should err?
A61588And therefore is not the parallel between the ten Tribes, and the Church of Rome, very pat, and much to the purpose?
A61588And therefore when you Sarcastically ask, Is not this strong Logick?
A61588And this promise of his spiritual presence was to their Successors; else why to the end of the world?
A61588And together they can not, for that is the Question, Why not a Council without the Popes Confirmation, as well as with it?
A61588And was it then true, that as long as Judah was united with her Head, the High- Priest, there was no need of Reformation?
A61588And was not the Faith of other Churches where it was pure, commended as well as that?
A61588And was there not then much more reason for such an Infallibility then there can be now?
A61588And was this no more then a bare oath of Canonical obedience?
A61588And were not these fair tendencies to a free and General Council?
A61588And were not these some of you?
A61588And were not these, things which wanted Reformation, think you?
A61588And what could be more said of those things, whose matter or absolute precept do make them necessary?
A61588And what follows now from all this?
A61588And what great absurdity is there in saying so?
A61588And what greater testimony of Divinity can be supposed in them?
A61588And what if the Ancients by a true Church did mean an Orthodox Church?
A61588And what is there more in this Argument( but a multitude of words to little purpose) then there is in that which his Lordship examines?
A61588And what is there more than this that we contend for?
A61588And what is there more than this, that his Lordship contends for?
A61588And what now do the Modern Greeks say more than Theophylact did?
A61588And what now is this, but in plain terms to assert, That Faith is not to be kept with Hereticks?
A61588And what say you now to all this?
A61588And what will you say if he did not usurp this power?
A61588And when any Controversie arises concerning the meaning of the Decrees of the Council, Who must be judge, which is the Infallible sense of them?
A61588And when any others durst speak freely what checks, and frowns, and disgraces did they meet with?
A61588And when before, the Donatists objected the authority of St. Cyprian in the point of Rebaptization, What kind of answer doth St. Augustine give them?
A61588And when they assert it to belong to the Council only to pronounce, Whether the Pope be guilty of Heresie or no?
A61588And when you pray for all these through the Merits of the Saints, how can you possibly more disparage the all- sufficiency of the Merits of Christ?
A61588And where do you ever find merit applyed to the Bishops Character?
A61588And where now lyes any such appearance of contradiction in his Lordships words?
A61588And where then lyes the prerogative of Scripture above the Church?
A61588And who can blame you for calling that a Labyrinth in which you have so miserably lost your self?
A61588And who dares call any of these Hereticks is his challenge?
A61588And who denies it?
A61588And who were they, I pray, but those loyal persons the Jesuits, who broached, fomented, and propagated that Doctrine?
A61588And who, I pray, do in point of obedience most resemble the ten Tribes?
A61588And why for the honour of S. Peter''s memory?
A61588And why so hard for them to be corrupted?
A61588And why so?
A61588And why so?
A61588And why to Julius Bishop of Rome, I pray?
A61588And will Rider, and your other good friends the English Lexicons, help you to interpret Sacrae literae by unwritten Traditions?
A61588And will not the same reasons hold in a greater measure for the integrity and incorruption of Scriptures?
A61588And would not this be full as good an Answer as yours is an Argument?
A61588And yet, Might not this be done without his personal Infallibility, in regard of his succession in that See which was founded by S. Peter?
A61588And your Question, Quô judice?
A61588And ▪ What more than this did ever the Heathens do?
A61588And, Are not these invincible proofs for the veneration of Images in the Ancient Church?
A61588And, Can any one then possibly conceive, that the Infallibility lyes any where but in the Pope?
A61588And, Can any thing then be more plain, than that the Roman and Catholick Church were not the same?
A61588And, Did they suppose these Heathens to have a Divine Faith already?
A61588And, Do you call this a confirming and ratifying them de novo?
A61588And, Do you require any other judge but a mans own reason in this case?
A61588And, Do you still wonder why his Lordship produces these words?
A61588And, Doth not this now come home to our case?
A61588And, I pray, What follows from thence?
A61588And, Is it not then likely that your Church should ever yield to the proposal of doubts?
A61588And, Is not this a stout argument, for the Popes personal Infallibility?
A61588And, Is not this just the same Answer which you give here?
A61588And, Is this it at last, which your loud clamours of Infallibility come to?
A61588And, Is this only concerning some abuses abuses in point of manners, and not concerning errours in Faith that Almain speaks?
A61588And, Is this your way indeed to secure the Church, by providing S. Peter such successors, which may be Hereticks themselves?
A61588And, Was not the case just the same here of the Emperour Sigismund, and John Husse?
A61588And, Were all those who supplied these vacant Sees, Intruders?
A61588And, What can be more said concerning Christ himself?
A61588And, What may not come under it, when deposing of Princes shall be reduced under that you call The Worship of God?
A61588And, Whether their Church be justly accused by us of introducing many Errours and Superstitions?
A61588And, Why so?
A61588And, Would not this Argment as well prove the Catholick party at Carthage to be the root and matrix of the Catholick Church, as well as at Rome?
A61588And, do you yet deny this Testimony of the Church to be the Formal Object of this infallible Assurance?
A61588And, for all this, is there something still remaining necessary to Salvation, which neither he, nor his Disciples, did ever make known to the world?
A61588And, if there were nothing of all this, What boldness is it to call this a General Council?
A61588And, is this, I pray, a fit parallel for that speech of Waldensis?
A61588And, let the world judge, Whether it be more likely one should meet with the worship of Golden Calves at Rome, or among the Protestants?
A61588And, think you not then, that S. Hierom was a great friend to your doctrinal Traditions, and unwritten Word?
A61588Answer me punctually to it; Can you possibly resolve your Faith into any thing else, as its Formal Object?
A61588Arcadius, Philippus, and Projectus, if S. Cyril supplied the Popes place there already?
A61588Are Pastors and Doctors never lawfully sent, but when they are in Oecumenical Councils?
A61588Are all Bishops of Protestant, and the Greek, and other Churches besides the Roman, assembled in Council Infallible?
A61588Are all the Cities and places in the Roman Empire, circa eam, about the City of Rome?
A61588Are men bound to believe what she so declares, without arguments and reasons too?
A61588Are not all these with you learned men, who have all declared their doubts of it?
A61588Are not the Only Bishop, and the Only Pastor all one?
A61588Are not these pregnant reasons; three sine dubio''s given us by Cardinal Bellarmin?
A61588Are not these weak pretences for them to reject their Authority upon?
A61588Are these the men that give such evidence for the Popes Supremacy?
A61588Are these then such expressions which import no peril of damnation in the Roman Church?
A61588Are these then the glorious parts of your Devotions, your Prayers and Hymns?
A61588Are these three last then acknowledged by your Church now for Apostolical Traditions or no?
A61588Are they not the men, who have bid us distinguish what comes from them in a heat, from that which they deliver as the Doctrine of the Church?
A61588Are they of the same kind and nature with the signs and miracles wrought by them or not?
A61588Are those no differences at all concerning the subject of Infallibility, and the Superiority of Pope and Council?
A61588Are those places obscure or no, which speak of the Churches Infallibility?
A61588Are those proofs by themselves sufficient for Faith or no?
A61588Are we not then at a fine pass for our Infallible certainty concerning the Copies of Scripture, if the judgement of your Church must be relyed on?
A61588Are you come to a What if, with the Council of Trent?
A61588Are you yet to seek?
A61588As appears by the case of Lupicinus an African Bishop appealing to Leo, who indeed was willing enough to receive him; but what of that?
A61588As though Bellarmin were wo nt to leave out any authorities which made for his purpose, especially in so weighty a subject as this?
A61588As though this had never been questioned by any?
A61588At what another rate would he have discoursed of the Eucharist, had he believed Transubstantiation, Sacrifice of the Mass, Communion under one kind?
A61588Basil who bids a man Believe the things that are written, and seek not the things that are not written?
A61588Besides, what Infallible Authority is that which makes all its Definitions Fundamental, and yet is not in it self Divine?
A61588Bishops in Africk?
A61588Bishops, that there were thousands of his Colleagues on the other side the Sea, whom he might be tryed by?
A61588But I pray what certainty then had the Jews after the Captivity, of their Copies of the Law?
A61588But I pray, Whence learn''d you that this was all the ground of his discourse?
A61588But I pray, why should fulfilling of Prophesies, make your Church Infallible?
A61588But Justin might further ask, How he should come to be instructed by them?
A61588But as to this you answer nothing, but that if you do, so did the Council of Nice too: But, Is that a sufficient excuse for you?
A61588But by what argument doth he prove it so, that the Valentinians might be convinced by it?
A61588But by what arts can you hence draw, that St. Austin thought the Council Infallible in its definitions?
A61588But by whom are they made void?
A61588But by whom was this supposed?
A61588But certainly, if S. Austin preferred manifest Truth before that which was greater, would he not do it before that which was incomparably less?
A61588But do you not herein wilfully mistake his Lordships meaning?
A61588But do you really think, Anania''s and Sapphira''s fault was no greater than that of the Greek Church, that you produce this instance?
A61588But do you suppose the mean while that St. Austin spake pertinently to this business, or no?
A61588But doth Bellarmine dispute against any body or no body?
A61588But doth it not deserve some further proof of your Infallibility from this place?
A61588But doth not Irenaeus himself make use of the Churches Tradition as the great argument to confute them by?
A61588But doth that note it to be an Article of Faith?
A61588But from whence doth it appear that the succession of the Roman Bishops is the Rock here spoken of?
A61588But have you indeed such a Monopoly of Truth, that if your party prove Juglers, there will be no truth left upon earth?
A61588But his Lordship asks, If one particular Church may not judge or condemn another, What must then be done where particulars need reformation?
A61588But how can I be assured, but that he, who may wander in his intention, may do so in his expression too?
A61588But how come you to know, that this case did properly belong to the Popes cognizance?
A61588But how doth it appear?
A61588But how farr is this from the final resolution of Faith into Church- Tradition?
A61588But how few in the world are there, who stand by, when the Pope defines?
A61588But how would you triumph beyond all reason, if you had but any thing like such a promise for Rome, as that is for Jerusalem?
A61588But if in Antiquity, we find out the errour of two or three particular Persons, or City, or Province; what is then to be done?
A61588But if men will be unreasonable, who can help it?
A61588But if the Protestants Opinions were condemned for Heresies before by General Councils, Why was the Council of Trent at all summoned?
A61588But if these be only words of invitation, what precept is there any where extant for the celebration of the Eucharist?
A61588But if they only enforced the decrees of the Council of Nice, What need of the Pope''s authority to do that?
A61588But in case any Novel Contagion should spread over, not a part only, but endanger the whole Church?
A61588But in good earnest, do you think That God hath promised a living and infallible Judge to make us certain of the sense of obscure places in Scripture?
A61588But in the mean time, Is not a Kingdom like to be at peace then?
A61588But is it not the great honour of Christ that his Merits and Intercession alone are all- sufficient to procure all spiritual blessings for us?
A61588But is this enough?
A61588But it is a part of her present Felicity, that they are ashamed of that insulting Question, What is become of your Church now?
A61588But it is quite another Question, when I ask, Why you believe this to have been a True Divine Revelation?
A61588But must we stand only to the judgement of these two concerning the sense of the Primitive Church in this present Controversie?
A61588But now, if we examine your Council of Trent by this Rule, How far is it from any appearance of a General Council?
A61588But still we are bound to believe your Church infallible: But, I pray, whence comes this Infallibility?
A61588But still, Is it not an Argument, that it is a Heresie of one side or the other, because each party condemns the other of Heresie?
A61588But suppose all this, is your Church so remarkable for Sanctity of life, that it should be a motive for your Infallibility?
A61588But suppose it were so; what is this to those who pretend to be his Successours?
A61588But supposing that, Is it necessary that all those things must be in them, which make the necessary requisites to this Sacrament of yours?
A61588But that, you know, is not the matter at all in question, but, How we come to assent to such a Doctrine as a Divine Revelation?
A61588But then inform us what part of that Apostolical Faith was it, which Felicissimus and Fortunatus sought to violate at Rome?
A61588But this is a Question you grant to be disputable among Christians, and will you not give us leave to make a supposition that it may prove not so?
A61588But till you have done that, it remains clear, that these Bishops were justly deprived; and if so, What was to be done with their vacant Sees?
A61588But was the conduct safe, that was given to a Council which they call General, to some others before them?
A61588But we will grant that the face of the Britannick Church was only in Wales; what follows thence?
A61588But what Church do you mean?
A61588But what if some Books, by some men, were for some time doubted of, which yet were afterwards universally received upon sufficient evidence?
A61588But what is all this to the Pope''s sole power of deposing?
A61588But what is it you mean by all this?
A61588But what is there in all this to inferr, that not the Scriptures but the Infallibility of the Church is the foundation of Faith?
A61588But what is this to an Infallibility in the Council because it represents the whole Church?
A61588But what is this to an Vniversal Pastorship given by Christ to him; any otherwise then to those who sat in any other Apostolical Sees?
A61588But what is this to doctrinal Traditions, concerning matters of Faith?
A61588But what is this to the purpose, unless you could prove, that this obscurity is such as hinders it from being a Rule of Faith and Manners?
A61588But what is this to the purpose?
A61588But what made the Pope so angry at this Canon of the Council of Chalcedon?
A61588But what need all this, if he had believed your Doctrine?
A61588But what of all this?
A61588But what then, may you say?
A61588But what?
A61588But whence came then the great disputes, Whether an Oath of Allegiance might be taken to Heretical Princes?
A61588But where do any of the Bishops of that Council attribute that title to Leo?
A61588But where doth Constantine profess against it as in it self unlawful?
A61588But whether you can imagine this of so many Bishops or no, Can you conceive that Gregory should think so of them?
A61588But who are better Judges of these things then the Fathers themselves?
A61588But who are there that more cheat and deceive the world, then those Mountebanks, who pretend to the most Infallible cures?
A61588But whom will you be judged by in this case?
A61588But why do not they, who assert such bold things, produce the true authentick Copy of these Milevitan Canons?
A61588But why do you think honest mens reports to be credible in such cases?
A61588But why is it not enough?
A61588But why not by the Bishop of Rome alone, if the Vniversal Pastorship did belong to him?
A61588But why should you not believe such an Assiance in the one, as well as the other?
A61588But why, I pray, must the Infallibility of the Apostles be compared only to a foundation that can last but for few years?
A61588But will you say the one is as evident and built on as good reason, and as much agreed on among Christians, as the other is?
A61588But would you have me attain Infallible certainty, without any reason that is Infallible?
A61588But yet further you say, That these things were declared by the Apostles, but they need a further Declaration now: And why so?
A61588But yet how should this implicite definition be known?
A61588But yet, supposing your Church had done this, Could we be more certain of the sense of your Church, then we are now of the Scriptures?
A61588But you ask however, Whether the Child be not really baptized by this, although none took notice of what the Priest did?
A61588But you clearly mistake the present business; which is not, Whether Councils be Infallible or no?
A61588But you say, This was inserted into the Acts of the Council?
A61588But you shrewdly ask, If you be Judah, Who, I pray, are the revolted ten Tribes?
A61588But you will ask, How comes it then to be accounted an Oecumenical Council?
A61588But( say you), how can that be a true Church which teacheth the way to eternal perdition by some false Doctrine in matter of Faith?
A61588But, Are both of them properly and truly Divine Faith?
A61588But, Are not you like to be trusted in citing Fathers who doubly falsifie a Testimony of your adversaries, when you may be so easily disproved?
A61588But, Are the Jesuits indeed grown such honest men, that not one of their number can be named, who assert this Doctrine?
A61588But, Are you sure Christ asked the Philosophers opinions, in establishing a Government in the Church?
A61588But, Can not God preserve the Church from being extinguished by Heresies, though S. Peter hath no Infallible Successor?
A61588But, Can you prove that the Scripture hath nothing else in it, but what may be found in any, or all of these Books?
A61588But, Can you suppose it otherwise, but that particular Books must be first delivered to private men?
A61588But, Did this small number continue in the time of the Christian Emperours, even till after a thousand years after Christ?
A61588But, Did you not suppose them before to be internal to Scripture?
A61588But, Do they assist, though not all men separately, yet all societies of men conjunctly?
A61588But, Do they say, that it was impossible that Leo should erre, or that his judgement was Infallible?
A61588But, Do you really think, that Christ never enters into a soul, but by Divine and Infallible Faith?
A61588But, Do you think your Answers, like your Prayers, will do you good by being said so often over?
A61588But, Doth he nothing else but quote Occham?
A61588But, Doth his Lordship say, that all such as are within the Church, are undoubtedly saved?
A61588But, How came it to pass then, that he would not sit there, though then at Constantinople?
A61588But, I pray tell me, By what means would you understand what precepts are perpetually obligatory, which are not clear to our present purpose?
A61588But, I pray, What was it which Damascen was there delivering of?
A61588But, I pray, Which of these two is not only more contrary to Scripture, but to Humane Nature; Wickedness or Fallibility?
A61588But, Is it not possible to assert the Vse and Necessity of Grace, in order to Faith, but the last Resolution of it must be into it?
A61588But, Is it possible for men to give the honour which is due to God, to the Creatures, or no, acknowledging them to be Creatures still?
A61588But, Is not there easily discernable a vast disparity between these two, which way soever we conceive them?
A61588But, Is not this to make all the Churches of Christendom for many hundred years quite blind, and your self only clear and sharp- sighted?
A61588But, May then any one, by the innate power of his mind, yield a divine assent to these things?
A61588But, Must this be an Instance of a doctrinal Tradition, containing some Object of Faith distinct from Scripture?
A61588But, Was it not their own greater Pride, that they were able to bear no equals?
A61588But, Were those the practices and principles of Protestants?
A61588But, What doth that Infallibility which is more than in a sort divine, import beyond what you assert doth belong to the Church?
A61588But, What is all this to the veneration of the Cross, if we grant that it did make a glorious shew on the Altar?
A61588But, What is this to the purpose, unless you could prove that the Italian Prelates were so divided in point of Interest and dependence?
A61588But, What is your quarrel with us then?
A61588But, What mean you in saying, When the number of Christians was small, they received it in both kinds?
A61588But, What need he to do it, that could so easily be inspired, by kneeling at the feet of a Crucifix?
A61588But, What need this latter, if the former be well proved?
A61588But, What was it which did unchurch us?
A61588But, When was it the number of Christians was so small?
A61588But, Where do you find any such account of a General Council in all Antiquity?
A61588But, Where is there the least intimation of any Churches Infallibility requisite to make men believe with a firm and Divine Faith?
A61588But, Where lyes the connexion between these two?
A61588But, Who is it the mean while that hath the disposal of this salvation?
A61588But, Who must decide this?
A61588But, Who must judge what the sense of the Scripture is?
A61588But, Why so?
A61588But, Will no place serve to reclaim them but Rome?
A61588But, Will this reach to a Parity, if it were granted?
A61588But, Will you say, the Church had no power of the Keyes till then; and then only finally too, and not formally?
A61588But, by what means shall this thing become clear?
A61588But, can you think to perswade wise or rational men to believe their Religion on such terms as these are?
A61588But, do you make no difference between the Scripture being supposed as the ground of Faith, and all Scripture being contained in the Creed?
A61588But, do you really think, that every person who is devout, mild, charitable, and chast, is therefore infallible?
A61588But, for whose end do you mean?
A61588But, if the esteem you have of the Scriptures be so great, Why lock you them up so carefully from the people in an unknown language?
A61588But, if they knew them not, I pray from whence is it your Church learns them?
A61588But, is this our case?
A61588But, let us grant this: Were not the Scriptures attested by the same Authours?
A61588But, might not the evil spirits work such things?
A61588But, say you, What if this singular- plural say no such thing, as the words alledged by the Bishop signifie?
A61588But, say you, What infallible Certainty have we of them, besides Church Tradition?
A61588But, say you, What is this then to Ruffinus, who knew, as well as St. Hierom, that Faith could not change its essence?
A61588But, suppose it passed through the hands of particular men, Was it therefore more liable to be corrupted?
A61588But, suppose we should grant them Infallible, and that Infallibility proved from this place, What is that to us?
A61588But, the Question is, Whether that Veneration of them which is used by you towards Images, be due to them, or no?
A61588But, this should not have been taken notice of, lest we should seem to see( as who doth not, that is not stark blind?)
A61588But, what cogent argument doth S. Austin use to perswade them this was an Apostolical Tradition?
A61588But, what kind of transcendental thing is this Infallibility?
A61588But, when you say, it is sufficient that it be clear and manifest out of the Text it self, what Text do you mean?
A61588But, who are so blind as those who will not see?
A61588By immediate inspiration?
A61588By their Vniversal practise?
A61588By what right did he govern the Churches within the Empire, and not those without?
A61588By what rule or measure must we judge of this necessity?
A61588By whom now, must we be judged, What is meant by these Suburbicary Churches?
A61588By whose instruction, or by what means he should come to it?
A61588Can any man, who sayes these things be reasonably supposed to assert that the decrees of General Councils are as certain as the Scripture is?
A61588Can any thing be more clear against any Head of the Vniversal Church, but Christ himself?
A61588Can any thing be more express and punctual then this testimony of Cyprian is, to overthrow that sense of the Catholick Church which you contend for?
A61588Can any thing be more express then this is, to shew what difference they put between Christ and the Martyrs?
A61588Can not I suppose that Christ and the Holy Spirit may exist without giving this Assistance?
A61588Can not a man be known to be a True Man, unless he be inspired?
A61588Can not the Council of Nice appoint time to celebrate Easter?
A61588Can therefore a Tradition be known to be an unwritten Word by its own Light, and not be known to be a Tradition by its own Light?
A61588Can we have better security against you then the judgement of one of your own Popes?
A61588Can you discover any where such an unexpressible energy and force in a writing of so great simplicity and plainness as the Scripture is?
A61588Can you now for shame say, There was no need of Reformation at that time, and that the Popes were no more concerned then the whole Church?
A61588Can you set down the exact bounds, as to all individuals, when their ignorance is inexcusable, and when not?
A61588Can you tell what the measure of their capacity was?
A61588Can you yet therefore suppose, that Vincentius did think that Tradition did as truly confirm our Faith as the Scripture?
A61588Can you, with telling them Councils are Infallible?
A61588Can your Church then make that to be a Divine revelation, which was not so?
A61588Chapter of his Epistle to the Corinthians, if he had known his Holiness his pleasure about serving God in an unknown tongue?
A61588Comes it from Heaven, or is it of Men?
A61588Could any Protestant have delivered his mind more punctually and plainly than he doth?
A61588Could any one, whoever believed the Doctrine of the Trinity as revealed in Scripture, believe or imagine any other?
A61588Could any thing be more fully spoken to our purpose than this is?
A61588Could it not make a glorious shew, unless they all fell down and worshipped it?
A61588Could they be deceived themselves, or had they an intent to deceive their posterity?
A61588Could you assoon think to account the starrs as discern any thing of Divinity from these things in the Scriptures?
A61588Could you hence inferr that Hippo was causally the Catholick Church, and if not, with what reason can you do it from so parallel a case?
A61588Could you not have referred us to Bellarmine at first, as well as at last?
A61588Could you to one that neither believes Christ, nor the Holy Ghost, prove evidently that your Church had an assistance of both these?
A61588Did he ever speak so concerning the Trinity or the Incarnation of Christ which you parallel with Purgatory?
A61588Did not Christ redeem us by his merits?
A61588Did not S. Cyprian, say you, think of Purgatory, when he taught this?
A61588Did not the Bishop of Antioch know his own interest as well as Pope Leo?
A61588Did not the Pope afterwards ratifie it?
A61588Did not they confirm the decrees of it?
A61588Did not those extoll it above the Church, who call''d it, A Nose of Wax?
A61588Did she ever cry up those for Martyrs, who died in Gun- powder treasons?
A61588Did she ever teach it lawful to disobey Heretical Princes, and to take away their lives?
A61588Did the Christians conspire together in those times not to let their posterity know, Who had the Supream Government of the Church then?
A61588Do Christs Institutions vary according to the numbers of Communicants?
A61588Do not the eternal Concerns of all Christians depend upon those sacred records, that, if those be not true, they were of all men most miserable?
A61588Do not they fall down in the most devout manner to them, and make the most formal addresses before them?
A61588Do not you herein argue like a man, that can square Circles?
A61588Do not you make the Pope Vniversal Pastor of the Church, in as high a sense as any of these expressions carry it?
A61588Do the Donatists or their Adversaries mention any such thing?
A61588Do they assist all kind of men to make them infallible?
A61588Do they assist all men only in Religious actions, of what Religion soever they are of?
A61588Do they assist all those among the Christians, who say, they have this Assistance?
A61588Do they assist then all men of the Christian Religion in their societies?
A61588Do they thus assist all Churches to keep them from errour?
A61588Do we hinder you the Possession of them?
A61588Do you by them prove the Infallibility of your Church?
A61588Do you mean such a Proposition as carries evidence along with it, or not?
A61588Do you mean that the objects of Faith do not appear?
A61588Do you mean, That these Motives should prove the Christian Church at large infallible, or your present particular universal Church of Rome?
A61588Do you not believe them still?
A61588Do you not see now how subtil and pertinent your Answer is here, by this parallel to it?
A61588Do you preferr it as such before your Church?
A61588Do you really think your self, that there is any thing of Divine Grace in Faith or no?
A61588Do you so indeed?
A61588Do you think Faustinus would not have corrected the fault when the African Bishops boggled so at it?
A61588Do you think he means, Which was that Vniversal visible Church?
A61588Do you think he was so weak a person to run to Popes Authorities, if he could have found any other?
A61588Do you think men believe as much at first as ever after?
A61588Do you think that Pope Hildebrand or any of his Successours would have done this?
A61588Do you think that these men did believe a present Infallibility in the Church?
A61588Do you think the Israelites would have believed Moses Infallible, if any ordinary Israelite had wrought those miracles which he did?
A61588Do you think the number of Christians was so small in the Primitive times?
A61588Do you think these passages are so hard, that we can not know what they mean, unless we have them so often over?
A61588Do you think this man was not of your minde in the Doctrine of Fundamentals?
A61588Do you think those Prayers and Hymns are pleasing to God, which lye more in the throat than the heart?
A61588Do you think we could not understand what you meant by the unchangeableness of Christian Faith, without so many diversified expressions of it?
A61588Do you think we have forgot the brave comparisons which have been made by your Writers, to shew the respect you bear to the Scriptures?
A61588Do you think, St. Paul would have approved such phrases in Invocation?
A61588Do you think, there is any other way of manifesting Truth, but by Scripture, Sense or Demonstration?
A61588Doth Gandavo deny the Apostles authority to have been Divine?
A61588Doth Irenaeus in these words say, that even these Barbarians did believe upon the Infallible Testimony of the present Church?
A61588Doth St. Cyprian here speak like one that believed the Church of Rome to be the center of Ecclesiastical communion?
A61588Doth a Gardener cast off the care of his Garden because weeds grow up with his herbs?
A61588Doth any thing the less follow, which the Bishop charged A. C. with?
A61588Doth he not challenge to himself proper Jurisdiction over them?
A61588Doth he not say, That God had a Controversie with Judah, and would punish Jacob according to his waies?
A61588Doth he not subject all Christs members to him?
A61588Doth his Lordship deny that our Church in order to our own reformation hath condemned many things which your Church holds?
A61588Doth his Lordships discourse only contain an account of the Popes temporal greatness by the Patronage of Christian Emperours?
A61588Doth it appear to be so by it self, and then why may not the Scripture?
A61588Doth it hence follow, That it is not day though the Sun shines?
A61588Doth it not conquer it when the Decrees are passed by the major part?
A61588Doth it not necessarily resolve it self into this Principle, That it is safest believing that which both parties consent in?
A61588Doth not he arise to that height of singularity, that he is subject to none, but rules over all?
A61588Doth not he promise Life and Salvation to all such as believe and obey his Doctrine?
A61588Doth not he tell his Disciples, That all things I have heard of my Father, I have made known unto you?
A61588Doth not the Church of England disown and disclaim such things to the uttermost?
A61588Doth not the Pope arrogate this to himself, to be Oecumenical Pastor, and the sole Fountain of all Jurisdiction in the Church?
A61588Doth not the Scripture sufficiently teach what we are to do and believe, supposing it not received on the infallible Authority of the Church?
A61588Doth not this want pregnant proofs?
A61588Doth the Bishop deny, but the perswasion of the Doctors of the Church, is as infallible, as that of any particular person?
A61588Doth the Infallibility of your Churches Definition depend on the consent of the Fathers?
A61588Doth the Pope himself ever express or intimate it?
A61588Doth your Church make use of Logick and Reason in her deductions?
A61588Either by its own Definition, or without?
A61588Either the Church then was out in her judgement, or your Church out in hers?
A61588Either the Records of former Ages are left to judge by, or no?
A61588Et quid tum postea?
A61588Faith is Infallible, Tradition Infallible, the Church Infallible, the Pope Infallible, General Councils Infallible, and what not?
A61588First, Why I believe those things to be true which are contained in the Book called the Scripture?
A61588For I ask, Whether all persons meeting together in Council are Infallible?
A61588For I ask, Whether am I bound to believe what the present Church delivers to be Infallible?
A61588For I only ask you, Whether the Church of Rome did declare any Canon or no, in that age?
A61588For I pray, is not by the Merits more then by the Intercession?
A61588For are all Bishops of the same merit of good life?
A61588For can any thing be more rational, then to desire the highest assurance as to that, whose decrees I am to believe Infallible?
A61588For can you possibly think the Apostles did intend to bind unalterably succeeding Ages in such things which they used a Liberty in themselves?
A61588For clearing which, we must further consider the meaning of this Question, How we know Scripture to be Scripture?
A61588For doth he not absolutely and severely declare himself against St. Cyprians opinion: condemning it as an errour and an innovation?
A61588For doth his Lordship parallel the promulgating something Catholick, and repealing something Catholick together?
A61588For else, Why are they call ● d Letters of Credence, if they give not him more credit, than he gives them?
A61588For if he could by his will turn the water into wine, Shall we not believe him, that he can change his wine into his blood?
A61588For if the consenting parties may agree in a falshood, What evidence can I have, but that this is one of those falshoods they may agree in?
A61588For if this be not safest, Why should I be more inclined by their consent, than otherwise?
A61588For is it not notorious, that pretended Synod A. D. 1562. were all manifest usurpers?
A61588For is there not as great self- evidence, at least, that the Scripture is infallible, as that your Church is infallible?
A61588For none else that have any reason would ever say it?
A61588For still the question unavoidably returns, From whence I believe such a supernatural Infallibility in the Church?
A61588For that case may be easily put, that such a Law may pass; but, doth this hinder men from their obligation to duty and submission to a just authority?
A61588For to what end freedom of speech on their part, since they are resolved to alter nothing?
A61588For to what purpose are they Infallible, if we can not be certain that any thing which they decree is true, but by the Popes confirmation?
A61588For what Bishop, saith he, is of the same merit or the same degree in the Priesthood with the Pope, as things are now carried at Rome?
A61588For what assurance can any one have, that amidst all the enormities, and secret practices of the Conclave, any one is freely and legally chosen?
A61588For what can I have less ground to build my Faith upon, than that the Priest had at least a virtual intention to do as the Church doth?
A61588For what connexion is there between Vnity in Government, and Infallibility in Faith?
A61588For what do you understand by the Scriptures being in many places obscure?
A61588For what doth their power of order signifie as to the Church without the power of Jurisdiction?
A61588For when the Pope is accused for Heresie in a Council, Who must sit as President in that Council?
A61588For where doth his Lordship say, That the Protestants only agree in their main Exceptions against the Roman Church, and not in their Doctrines?
A61588For, Are not miraculous operations among you ascribed to Images of Saints?
A61588For, By what means come they to claim the Infallibility as belonging to them which is given to the Church?
A61588For, Can any thing be the measure of it self?
A61588For, Doth not this very Prophet check Judah as well as Israel for transgressing Gods Covenant?
A61588For, Doth the Decree receive any Infallibility from the Council, or not?
A61588For, Hath the Council greater certainty, and higher assistance then any ordinary believer hath or not?
A61588For, How do you prove, that the Churches Authority is more known to us than the Scriptures?
A61588For, How should any other sense be understood, when these forms are allowed in Invocation?
A61588For, I desire to know, whether an Infallible Assent to the Infallibility of your Church, can be grounded on those Motives of Credibility?
A61588For, I pray, tell us, Are there not several sorts of Opinions among you at this day, none of which are pretended to be Catholick Doctrines?
A61588For, Must Christ''s Wisdom be called in question, and he liable to be accounted an Ignoramus and Impostor; if he doth not make your Church infallible?
A61588For, To what end or purpose is a safe- conduct granted, if it be not to secure that which the person to whom it was given had most cause to fear?
A61588For, What cause( saith he) could these persons have of coming and declaring against their Bishops?
A61588For, What doth merit here stand for as distinct from Priesthood, if it imports not something besides what belongs to Bishops as Bishops?
A61588For, What is drawing a Conclusion, but a discerning that truth which results from the connexion of the premises together?
A61588For, What is there more contrary to the design and spirit of the Gospel then this is?
A61588For, Whoever was so sensless as to question that?
A61588For, Why should you stop at the confines of the Roman Empire; How comes his Jurisdiction to be confined within that?
A61588For, Will any one question the birth of an Infant, because he can not know the time of his conception?
A61588For, doth not he expresly say, That the Epistle of some of the Bishops are yet remaining, in which they do severely rebuke him?
A61588For, even Bellarmin himself doubts of it; and, What think you of Habertus, Sirmondus, Launaeus, Petavius?
A61588For, if those be sufficient what need any more?
A61588For, it is not, Whether the Object be new or old, which makes an immediate Revelation; but the immediate Impression of it on the understanding?
A61588For, say they, Were the Fathers at Constance and Basil, acted by any other Spirit, than those at Nicaea, and Ephesus?
A61588For, say you, To refuse to believe God''s Revelation, is either to give God the lye, or to doubt whether he speak truth or no?
A61588For, the matter to be judged is the Church; and if the Scripture may and must decide that, Why may it not as well all the rest?
A61588For, what Physitian intending to cure a Patient, will do according to his Patients desire, and not rather what will be best for him?
A61588For, why do you resolve your Faith finally into Divine Revelation?
A61588For, will that ever put a stop to the contentious Spirits of men?
A61588From whence comes any thing to be Fundamental?
A61588From whence must we gather the terms of salvation, but only from thence?
A61588Give us a Catalogue of the rest of your Tridentine Articles, and name us the General Councils in which they were decreed as they are there?
A61588Had he not sufficient evidence that the Law was from God, by those many unquestionable and stupendous Miracles, which attended the delivery of it?
A61588Had it not been better to S. Peter''s successor, whosoever he be?
A61588Had it not been more becoming them to have said, out of obedience to Christ''s Commands, which made him Head of the Church?
A61588Had my Lord of Canterbury been living, What an excellent entertainment would your Confutation of his Book have afforded him?
A61588Had not this now been a strange action of his, if this Addition had been so long before in the time of Damasus?
A61588Had she not as much power to do it?
A61588Had she not as much reason to impose it as her Father?
A61588Had the Pope no right of Appeals till it was decreed here?
A61588Had these persons a mind to deliver a Doctrine of Invocation of Saints, who speak with such hesitation and doubt as to their sense of what was spoken?
A61588Had they, or could they have, any more than this you call moral Certainty?
A61588Had you not a great mind to calumniate, who could pick out of these words, That the Bishop resolved his Faith into Grace?
A61588Had you the confidence to say, That Scotus has not one word of the substance of Faith; I pray who made that,& c. for you in the sentence?
A61588Hath he determined these things, or hath he not?
A61588Hath not Christ the same power to oblige many as a few?
A61588Hath not your Infallibility lead you now a fine dance?
A61588Have Pastors and Doctors met in Oecumenical Councils in all Ages?
A61588Have all the Bishops in this Communion, it?
A61588Have all these Bishops this Assistance, when they meet together?
A61588Have not her sufferings made it appear, how great a hater she is of Heresies, Schisms, Sacriledge, and Rebellion?
A61588Have not many among you, grown so weary of it, that they have wished the name had never been mentioned?
A61588Have not some ingenuously confessed, that there is no avoiding the circle on the common grounds?
A61588Have not some of them, when they have seemed extream vehement and earnest, at last come off with this, That they have been declaiming all that while?
A61588Have not they told us, that the popular Orations uttered in Churches are no rules of opinion?
A61588Have not you set up a spiritual Jeroboam, as a new Head of the Church, in opposition to the Son of David?
A61588Have then all in that Communion this Infallible Assistance?
A61588Have you no Popes stand ready again to attest the truth of it?
A61588Have your Popes been indeed such Holy men, that we may not question but they were moved by the Holy Ghost when they spake?
A61588He after enquires, what is to be done in case a particular Church separates it self from the communion of the Catholick?
A61588He might still enquire, Whether those things were demonstrated or no, in them?
A61588How any word and tittle can be any where a matter of Faith?
A61588How came Atticus and Cyrillus not to send these with the other?
A61588How came six hundred Bishops at the Council of Ariminum to be deceived in a Doctrine of Faith, by your own confession?
A61588How came the Archbishop then in being to lose his Primacy by Austins coming into England?
A61588How came they not to be contained in the Code of Canons, produced in the Council of Chalcedon, in the cause of Bassianus and Stephanus?
A61588How can that become unnecessary, which was once infallibly judged to be an Apostolical Tradition?
A61588How can we believe that she doth not pretend to reveal something which was not revealed before?
A61588How can you assure me, the present Church obliges me to believe nothing, but only what, and so far, as it received it from the former Church?
A61588How come all the Copies of Councils and Canons to distinguish them?
A61588How come these Appeals to be denied, notwithstanding the Canons of it?
A61588How come these Appeals to be pleaded from the Sardican Synod?
A61588How come they then to be more obscure to us, than they were to them?
A61588How comes it at all to depend on the Canons?
A61588How comes it then to pass that this should not be a regular and Conciliar action?
A61588How comes it to be supernatural, if it be not divine?
A61588How comes it to pass that there is no mention at all of his judgement by either party, till Constantine had appointed him to be one of the Judges?
A61588How comes it to pass, that none of the successors of John and Cyriacus did ever challenge this Title in the Literal sense of it?
A61588How comes that Authour not to be answered, and his reasons satisfied?
A61588How comes the Pope''s Supremacy, if of Divine Right, to depend at all upon the Canons of the Church?
A61588How comes the Scripture to have a larger extent of Truth, than the Church, if we can not know what Truth is in the Scripture, but from the Church?
A61588How fallen?
A61588How far off could that be from the Apostolical times, which was done so long before Cyprians?
A61588How fearful were they of declaring themselves, for fear of disobliging a particular party?
A61588How impertinently doth he dispute through all those Books, if he had believed any such thing?
A61588How infinitely do the highest of them fall short of the Scripture in those very things, which they seem most to have in common with it?
A61588How is it possible to deal with you, that dare with so much confidence obtrude such notorious falsities upon the world?
A61588How know you that God hath promised, there shall be such an infallible Judge?
A61588How many things in Christian Religion are to be believed, before we can imagine any such thing as an infallible Testimony of your Church?
A61588How many wayes have you to get the pardon of sin, or at least to delude people with the hopes of it, without any serious turning from sin to God?
A61588How much beyond the Valentinians, and Basilidians would Clemens have accounted so great a madness?
A61588How often, that the full Commission to the Apostles was given before?
A61588How often, that these indefinite expressions are not exclusive of the Pastoral charge of other Apostles over the Flock of Christ?
A61588How quietly do you permit the most stupid ignorance in such who are the zealous practisers of your fopperies and superstitions?
A61588How shall a man believe, that any thing at all is de fide among you, if that on which your Faith is to rest, be not de fide?
A61588How shall we come to know among you what is de fide, and what not, till you are agreed to whom this Infallibility belongs?
A61588How shall we know then, whether this nameless Apologist was a Jesuite, or a Minister personating a Jesuite?
A61588How so?
A61588How so?
A61588How so?
A61588How then come his successors to be the Heads of it?
A61588How then will you satisfie such a person?
A61588How well might he have spared saying, That a Bishop should be the Husband of one Wife, if he had known de jure divino he must have none at all?
A61588I answer freely( supposing it equally evident) what was delivered by the Apostles to the Church by word or writing, hath equal Credibility?
A61588I confess Quid feret hic tanto dignum promissor hiatu?
A61588I demand then, How you resolve your Belief of the Truth of the Doctrine of Christ, you tell me, into Divine Revelation, as its Formal Object?
A61588I demand then, On what account do you challenge this?
A61588I desire to know the grounds why they may not?
A61588I enquire further, Whereon this Infallible Certainty depends?
A61588I further ask, How you prove this prescription sufficient?
A61588I grant it was, but on what account?
A61588I hope you are certain that the Church of Rome is the Cacholick Church; but, Are you infallible that she is so?
A61588I hope you will not contradict it so much as to say so; or had they no Divine Faith then at all?
A61588I hope you will not deny that: If there were, To whom did the Jurisdiction over them belong?
A61588I hope, you are sure, there is a Pope at Rome, and a goodly Colledge of Cardinals there; but, Are you infallible in this?
A61588I inquire how you know, supposing her to erre, that it is a fundamental errour?
A61588I know well enough, how your party rail here to purpose against Photius; but what is all that to the business?
A61588I may justly suppose his Answer affirmative; I then demand upon what grounds?
A61588I pray now bethink your self, What difference is there, between the Orthodox judgement of the Donatists, and ours, concerning your Church?
A61588I pray tell me now, what were to be done in this case?
A61588I pray tell us, What that is which is more than infallible?
A61588I pray, Doth your pretence of Infallibility put an end to all your divisions?
A61588I pray, Sir, do me the Favour to let me know your judgement, whether this Pope were Infallible or no?
A61588I pray, What think you of the case in hand, Did not the belief of Christ enter by the Woman of Samaria?
A61588I pray, shew it to have any thing tending to an Absurdity in it?
A61588I pray, tell me, Are you sure that two and two make four?
A61588I pray, tell me, Is this your Doctrine, or, is it not?
A61588I pray, tell me, What way you would have such a thing sufficiently propounded as a matter to be believed, that this is not propounded in?
A61588I pray, what difference is there between a Tradition being known to be such by its own Light, and a Tradition being known by its own Light?
A61588I wonder where it is that any Christian Church is commanded to wait the Popes good leasure for reforming her self?
A61588If Constantine had judged it unlawful, could their importunity have excused it?
A61588If I be asked, On what grounds I believe the things to be true which are contained in Scripture?
A61588If I be asked, why I believe the Doctrine contained in these Books to be Divine?
A61588If I then ask, Why with a Divine Faith you believe the Churches Infallibility?
A61588If Rome be our Catholick Jerusalem, shew us, When God made choice of that, for the peculiar place of his Worship?
A61588If St. Peters being at Rome had setled the Monarchy of the Church there, what more famous act could have been mentioned in all Antiquity then that?
A61588If all these things be granted, how comes the Pope, not only to have leave, but command too, to Anathematize all such as use not these expressions?
A61588If it be possible for one particular Church to fall into errours and corruptions, Why is it not for another?
A61588If it be the Pope, Who reversed the Decrees of the Council of Sirmium, to which the Pope subscribed?
A61588If it be, To what purpose is the Priests intention, when I can not know it?
A61588If it be, then by your own Confession, a Divine Faith may be built on Prudential Motives; if it be not, then what is all this to the purpose?
A61588If it did not, What assurance can I have that every age of the Church believes just as the precedent did, and no otherwise?
A61588If it did, How comes any thing to be de fide which was not before?
A61588If it please you, Whether the Bishop of Rome succeeds S. Peter, or no?
A61588If it please you, Whether the Church should be built super hanc Petram, or no?
A61588If it was not obscure then, but is so now, Whence comes that obscurity?
A61588If it was, whereon was it built?
A61588If it were so then, you should have shewed us, How it comes to be otherwise now?
A61588If not, How can the way and manner be the same, which you promised to prove the Churches Infallibility?
A61588If not, How comes he to be Head of the Church, and Vniversal Pastor?
A61588If not, May not Christ be said to enter by that lower degree of Faith?
A61588If not, To what end is your Question?
A61588If not, What assurance can you give us, that those will prove Infallibility, as well as their works and miracles?
A61588If not, What good can this Infallibility do them?
A61588If not, Why use you those terms?
A61588If not, by what right come they now to be of the Canon?
A61588If not, neither can the Churches be?
A61588If not, they are very slender proofs: if they be, What need your Churches Infallibility?
A61588If not, to what purpose do you produce them here?
A61588If not, what power can any Church have to do it, without a greater measure of Infallibility, than the Apostles ever pretended to?
A61588If nothing else were meant, but only that the Saints should pray for us, What means help and assistance mentioned as distinct from their prayers?
A61588If she erred in this fact, confess her errour; if she erred not, Why may not another particular Church do as she did?
A61588If she were infallible, then either in some things only, or in all she believed?
A61588If so, How comes the distinction of the first and second, one subordinate to the other, if both be equally Divine and Infallible?
A61588If so, To what end are they so careful to carry it so high as the Apostles?
A61588If so, how came Arrianism to overspread the Church?
A61588If so, why may not we believe the Divinity of all the Scriptures on the same grounds, and with a Divine Faith too?
A61588If such a Monarchy had been appointed in the Church, what should we have had more frequent mention of in the Records of the Church, than of this?
A61588If that were such a departing from the Institution to alter the Liquor, Would it not have been accounted as great, to take away the Cup wholly?
A61588If the Decrees of Councils were not ambiguous, what mean so many disputes still about them as are in the world?
A61588If the Emperour had( as you say) protested against this as in it self unlawful, would none of the Bishops hinder him from doing it?
A61588If the Pope and Council then should declare their Decrees Infallible, On what account are we bound to believe them to be so?
A61588If the Pope made him Archbishop of Canterbury, by what right was he Primate over the Britain Church?
A61588If the Scriptures can not put an end to Controversies on that account, how can General Councils do it?
A61588If the former Determination were infallible, what need any more?
A61588If the negative, Was it the denying Purgatory, Invocation of Saints, Vnlawfulness of Priests Marriage, Communion in one kind?
A61588If the positive, Were they the asserting the Articles contained in the three Creeds, the sufficiency of Scriptures, the necessity of Divine Grace?
A61588If then Heresies must be demonstratively confuted out of Scriptures, what then doth he make to be the rule to judge of Controversies, but only them?
A61588If then your Doctrine be true, what becomes of the Faith of all these persons mentioned?
A61588If there were once a Declaration, but still there needs another, What is become of that Declaration?
A61588If therefore the Jews might be certain without Infallibility, why may not we?
A61588If these words relate to the Sacrifice, and not to the Sacrament, By what authority do they administer the Sacrament?
A61588If they appear refractory, and will not serve as hewers of wood, and drawers of water to them, then Who are the Fathers?
A61588If they did, Why were not these Suburbicary Churches, as well as those within the Empire?
A61588If they were not considered as Believers, when Christ said take, eat; by what right can any Believers take and eat?
A61588If they were so, how comes any Article to become necessary, which was not then in the Creed?
A61588If they were these, Were they either the positive or negative Articles?
A61588If they were, were they not Infallible in this Determination, That it should not be lawful to add to the Creed any thing else but what was in before?
A61588If this had been an Appendix to the Nicene Council, How comes that to have but twenty Canons?
A61588If those were truer because they agreed more with the Originals, were not the rest so too?
A61588If with her, was she not Infallible the mean while, when so great a matter as the Canon of Scripture was under dispute with her?
A61588If you are resolved yet further to ask, Who shall be judge what a necessary reason or demonstration is?
A61588If you ask again, How should it be known when errours are manifest and intolerable, and when not?
A61588If you ask then, How the Archbishops of Canterbury come to be Primates of England?
A61588If you ask, Why you believe there were such men in the World as these Prophets?
A61588If you ask, Why you should believe them to be True Prophets?
A61588If you knew their Rule, How can you tell, Whether they made a right Vse of it or no?
A61588If you mean that the Communion of Protestants is distinct from yours, Whoever made scruple of confessing it?
A61588If you say, The Church is only secured that it neither hath erred, nor can err in definitions of Faith, What more had the Apostles then this?
A61588In those places whose sense, you say, is so obscure, Where hath God made it necessary for us to have the certain sense of them?
A61588In what way and manner that Churches Authority did perswade him?
A61588Indeed it was then much for his honour that the Captain should fly from his colours first?
A61588Into what Revelation is the belief of that finally resolved?
A61588Invocation of Saints, is a thing consonant to the doctrine established by the undoubted miracles of Christ and his Apostles?
A61588Is Infallibility the Soul of a Church, which gives it its Being, I mean, a present Infallibility continually actuating and informing the Body of it?
A61588Is Primacy the name of some men?
A61588Is every person in all judiciary Cases, where submission is required, bound to believe the Judges sentence infallible?
A61588Is he expressed in it?
A61588Is here any like what you said, or at least would seem to have apprehended to be his meaning?
A61588Is it all one to say, There shall alwaies be a Church, and to say, That Church shall alwaies be infallible?
A61588Is it all one with you, To know a Church to be true, and to make it infallible?
A61588Is it any more then Oratours have commonly done?
A61588Is it because your Church pretends to be infallible?
A61588Is it by Pope and Council joyning together?
A61588Is it by their meeting, debating, decreeing matters of Faith?
A61588Is it come to that at last?
A61588Is it in your hands or Christs?
A61588Is it not a very good Inference from hence, that the Council acknowledged the Popes personal Infallibility?
A61588Is it not by so much the greater Tyranny?
A61588Is it not enough to be in a Circle your selves, but you must needs bring the Apostles into it too?
A61588Is it not much for the honour of the Scriptures, to be said to have no more Authority than Aesops Fables, without the Testimony of the Church?
A61588Is it not possible for you to utter so many words without a contradiction?
A61588Is it not the reason why any reformation is necessary, that the Churches purity and safety should be preserved?
A61588Is it only, that there are some passages which have their difficulties in them?
A61588Is it possible a man that owns himself a Christian, should utter such opprobrious language of the Scripture?
A61588Is it possible?
A61588Is it the Prophecy, That your Church shall be infallible that is fulfilled?
A61588Is it the Scripture it self, or a Revelation distinct from it?
A61588Is it then necessary to distinguish the one from the other, or not?
A61588Is it then such a strange thing, that a particular Church may reform it self, if the general will not?
A61588Is it, lest such Jewels should lose their lustre by too often using?
A61588Is it, that the reason why we believe, is, Because God hath revealed these things to us?
A61588Is not every thing in this account of Irenaeus his words very clear and pertinent to his present dispute?
A61588Is not here a plain resolution of Faith in Deum illuminantem?
A61588Is not here a plain resolution of Faith into that Divine Authority by which the Prophets spake?
A61588Is not here an excellent conjunction disjunctive in this Sive, Or?
A61588Is not the promise, That the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church?
A61588Is not this Testimony plain enough for you?
A61588Is not this a great evidence of your Sanctity?
A61588Is not this man now a fit person to explain the sense of your Churches new Definitions, and Declarations in matters of Faith?
A61588Is not this plain in Logick, and is it not as plain between Tradition and Scripture?
A61588Is not this plainly the case S. Austin speaks of; and, Is it any more than any man''s reason will tell him?
A61588Is not this the way to make Faith certain, and to reclaim Atheists?
A61588Is not this to make all the Churches of Christendome for many hundred years quite blind, and themselves only clear and sharp- sighted?
A61588Is nothing certain but what is infallible?
A61588Is that Assistance Infallible too, but not Divine?
A61588Is that infallible Assurance, that the things we believe as God''s Revelations, are revealed from him, a thing call''d Faith or no?
A61588Is that rational and logical deduction from Scripture sufficient to perswade any rational man or no?
A61588Is that which is necessary to be believed by all, the same with that which was not necessary to be so believed?
A61588Is the integrity of the Canon of Scripture an Apostolical tradition or no?
A61588Is there any thing mean, trivial, fabulous, and impertinent in it?
A61588Is there any thing unbecoming that Authority, which it awes the consciences of men with?
A61588Is there any way left or no, whereby the Church of Israel might be reformed?
A61588Is there no difference between the Churches Perswasion, and the Churches Tradition?
A61588Is there no difference between the way of proving a thing to an adversary, and the resolving ones own Faith?
A61588Is there no way imaginable to convince men, but by Infallibility?
A61588Is there not sufficient ground to rely on the Doctrine of Christianity, supposing there never had been any General Council in the world?
A61588Is this Assistance therefore a necessary, or a free Act?
A61588Is this a Free and General Council likely to reform these things?
A61588Is this all the desperate Absurdity, which follows from his Lordships Answer?
A61588Is this all the security Princes have from you, that it is no point of your Faith, that the Pope hath power to do it?
A61588Is this the Catholick and Roman Faith?
A61588Is this the Faith of the Apostolical See?
A61588Is this the effect of all your exclamations against Protestants, for making Faith uncertain by taking away the Churches Infallibility?
A61588Is this the way of appeals to go to the Emperour and Petition him to appoint Judges to hear the case?
A61588Is this to say, If the Scripture speak any thing against the Church, it is not to be believed?
A61588Is this your fidelity in quoting Authors, even when you charge others with wronging them?
A61588It is not therefore in what sense words may be taken by you( for who questions but you may abuse words?)
A61588Judge you now, I pray, Whether we think otherwise of those in your Church, than the Orthodox did of the Donatists?
A61588Let Photius be what he will, Were not the Popes Legats present at the Council?
A61588Let me now put some few Questions to you, Are General Councils Infallible, or no?
A61588Let them then take their choice, Whether are the words of substance and nature in the Fathers alwaies to be taken properly, or no?
A61588Let us then see, as to the present Churches erring, as to particular Books?
A61588May not they as well pretend this, that they are Infallible?
A61588May not you then as well prove a Transubstantiation here as in the Eucharist, since he parallels these two so exactly together?
A61588May others be certain of such a Definition or no, so as to be obliged to believe it?
A61588May we not then suppose their Tradition to be humane and fallible, whose perswasion of what they deliver, is established on infallible grounds?
A61588Might not I as well say, The truth is, the Pope neither in Council, nor out of it hath any Infallibility at all?
A61588Might not such expressions by way of Apostrophe be still used by such who are furthest from the Invocation of Saints?
A61588Might not the Testimony of the Church, supposing it fallible, be sufficient for what S. Augustine saith of it?
A61588Might not you as well challenge the Oracular Responses by Vrim and Thummim to belong to you, as the High Priests Infallibility, supposing he had any?
A61588Must I believe a very few persons whom the rest disown as Heretical and Seditious persons?
A61588Must every one judge it by his reason?
A61588Must every thing be false which A. C. refuses to grant?
A61588Must he be supposed more able to understand the Nicene Canons then these 630 Bishops?
A61588Must it not then be supposed, that the Bishops are lawful Bishops, before they can implicitely define themselves Infallible?
A61588Must our Faith at last be resolved into that, which it is impossible we should have any undoubted assurance at all of?
A61588Must that obligation to observe all which the precedent age believed or practised be proved by reason, particular testimony, or universal tradition?
A61588Must the Council be infallibly believed in it?
A61588Must the Pope be judge?
A61588Must the Scripture be judge?
A61588Must the people stand wholly to the judgement of those Superiour Priests, who have declared themselves to be utterly averse from any Reformation?
A61588Must they be kept vacant still?
A61588Must we believe your Church absolutely, as to what is rationally and logically deduced from Scripture?
A61588Must we then acknowledge this for a free and General Council, which hath a promise of Infallibility annexed to the definitions of it?
A61588Name then What it is, which is Fundamental to the Being of a Church, which our Protestant Church doth want?
A61588Name us therefore, What Council did ever offer to determine a matter of Faith meerly upon Tradition?
A61588Nay, Are there not many among your selves, raised meerly on the account of this Infallibility?
A61588Nay, Doth not Christ upbraid them for their unbelief, in not believing them that had seen him after he was risen?
A61588Nay, How can a man be sure there have not been such arts used in Councils?
A61588Nay, How can it possibly be known to be an unwritten Word, unless it first appears to be a Tradition?
A61588Nay, how very few are there among your selves who believe it, and yet think themselves never the worse Christians for it?
A61588Nay, we may go somewhat further; and, What think you if Heathenism it self will be proved the safest way to Salvation?
A61588No truth left upon earth, but all become Juglers?
A61588No, that you do not, you say?
A61588No?
A61588Nor a Church distinguished from other Societies, but by a Spirit of Infallibility?
A61588Now I pray think with your self, whether ever 630 Bishops would consent together to give away all their power and Authority in the Church?
A61588Now can any thing be more evident then that St. Cyprian judged Pope Stephen to erre in this latter and not in the former sense?
A61588Now what Infallible assistance can be supposed necessary in order to this?
A61588Now what answer do you return to all this?
A61588Now what have you to say to this strong and nervous Discourse of his Lordship?
A61588Now who is there, that out of meer pitty can find in his heart not to yield this to you, when you have been at such pains to prove it?
A61588Now, How is it possible there can be such, when there can be no certainty of the Being of a Church, Council, or Pope, from your own principles?
A61588Now, Who can assure one, that there have been no practices at all used to bring off some men to give their Votes with them?
A61588Now, Who dares call this, Begging the Question?
A61588Now, Will you say, This was the case of your Church, as to these Doctrines at the beginning of the Reformation?
A61588Now, will you undertake to assign what number of things are sufficiently propounded to the belief of all persons?
A61588Nunquid ego hâc in re pessime Domine propriam causam desendo?
A61588Oecumenical?
A61588On the Priests Testimony?
A61588On what account I do believe the Books containing this Doctrine to be Gods Word?
A61588On what account I do believe the Doctrine contained in these Books to be Gods Word?
A61588On what account am I bound to believe it?
A61588On what account do I believe these particular Books of Scripture to be Gods Word?
A61588Only in the Apostles times, or as long as the custom lasted of communicating in both kinds?
A61588Or must I do it because I have no reason to suspect the contrary?
A61588Or must it of necessity import something more when given to the Bishop of Rome then it doth when given to other Bishops?
A61588Or rather, Doth it not follow, That you are not so quick- sighted as you would seem to be?
A61588Or secondly, How we know the Doctrine contained in these Books to be Divine?
A61588Or they who commit treasons and do things worthy of death?
A61588Or they who profess to worship dead Saints, and martyr living ones with Fire and Faggot?
A61588Or were all such persons excused from believing, meerly because they were not Spectators?
A61588Or were they afraid the Heathen Emperours should be jealous of the Popes, if they had understood their great Authority?
A61588Or would you have a man disquiet himself, because he is not still a Child?
A61588Or, Did not he know what course was like to be taken with persons so condemned?
A61588Or, Was it the proceedings of the Reformation in Elizabeth''s time?
A61588Or, do we want the Merits of the Saints to apply the Merits of Christ?
A61588Or, do you really own them no further to be infallible, than as they agree with the sentence of the present Church?
A61588Or, do you suppose the necessity of infallibly believing it on the Churches Authority, before one can discern what it teacheth us to do and believe?
A61588Or, is it naturally supernatural, and humanely divine?
A61588Or, is the state of your Church so pure and holy, that it must shew it self Infallible by that?
A61588Paul, Andrew, and John, What are they else but the Heads of particular Churches?
A61588Paulus, Andreas, Johannes, quid aliud quam singularium sunt plebum capita?
A61588Perhaps you will tell us, It was to their Age, but not to ours?
A61588Quae autem causa veniendi& pseudo episcoporum contra Episcopos factum nunciandi?
A61588Quibus ergo obtemperavi dicentibus, credite Evangelio, car eis non obtemperem dicentibus mihi, Noli credere Manichaeo?
A61588Quid ages?
A61588Quid enim fratres tui omnes universalis Ecclesiae Episcopi, nisi astra coeli sunt?
A61588Quid quod nec ipse usurpaverit?
A61588Quid si novella aliqua contagio non jam por ● ● unculam tantum, sed totam pariter Ecclesiam commaculare conctur?
A61588Quis hoc non videat?
A61588S. Augustines, or the Scriptures?
A61588Shew then to us where that Prophecy is, and how it appears to be fulfilled?
A61588Shew us therefore, which way this must be ended in the first place?
A61588Si ergo invenires aliquem, qui Evangelio nondum credit, quid faceres dicenti tibi, Non credo?
A61588Since we know it hath been thus in some Councils, Who dares venture his faith, it hath not been so in others?
A61588So S. Chrysostome saith of Baptism, That its virtue is so great, it doth not suffer men to be men; Will you therefore say, it transubstantiates them?
A61588So it is with you, the Pope he ends Controversies, and keeps the Church at Vnity; How so?
A61588So that the Question is not so much, Whether shall be a living Judge?
A61588So that the state of the Question is this, Whether the Primitive Institution be universally obligatory to all Christians or no?
A61588St. Gregory Nazianzene mentioning that Question, What this Procession is?
A61588Still you pray and sing, but to whom?
A61588Suppose I grant this assistance to be Infallible, doth all Infallible assistance make an Infallible Testimony?
A61588Suppose he sayes, It is a sure way, Doth it therefore follow, that it is an infallible way?
A61588Suppose men could be assured of the proceedings of the Council, yet what certainty of Faith can be had of the meaning of those decrees?
A61588T. C. Your first question is, How our Churches Authority comes to be Divine?
A61588Tell us, when and where those Doctrines were defined before the Council of Trent?
A61588That God''s Promise may he infringed, and yet God''s Revelation not proved to be false: But whence came that Promise?
A61588That Images were in common use and veneration too in the Ancient Church?
A61588That he leaves out the Word, only, which was the cause of the whole Controversie; What, between Christians and Atheists?
A61588That manifest Truth is not to be quitted on any Authority whatsoever?
A61588That one Council can not repeal the Decrees of another?
A61588That these Councils did by Julius an African Bishop communicate their decrees to Pope Innocent, Who denyes?
A61588That they would relinquish their power, which they made no question they had from Christ, and take it up again at the Popes hands?
A61588That was not the business they disputed; their Question was, Whether there were no such Tradition as they pretended?
A61588The Pope?
A61588The Question is, Whether Canus doth understand that place of S. Augustine, of Infidels and Novices or no?
A61588The Question now is, Whether he sate there by virtue of that Legantine Power he had for the excommunicating Nestorius the year before, or not?
A61588The Question then resulting hence, is, Whether on these Principles you do not make the Infallible Testimony of the Church, the Formal Object of Faith?
A61588The Question was, Which was that Church?
A61588The Testimony of all mankind is fallible; May you therefore suppose that all mankind hath erred in something they are agreed in?
A61588The Testimony of all those persons who have seen Rome, is fallible; May I therefore question whether they were not all deceived?
A61588The first you begin with, is, Dionysius Areopagita; and, Is not he, say you, an Authour of the first three hundred years?
A61588The next thing to be considered, is, Whether they, who added it, had power so to do?
A61588The occasion of this fresh Debate was a new Question of the Lady; Whether she might be saved in the Protestant Faith?
A61588The question is, What the certain grounds of our assent are to the principles and rule of Christian Religion?
A61588These Bishops being thus legally invested in their places, To whom did the care and Government of the English Church belong?
A61588These things being supposed, May we not justly say, That an erring determination of such a Council so proceeding, is a rare case?
A61588They might as well alter the date of it, and ask Where she was before your Majesties restauration?
A61588They who cast Altars to the ground?
A61588They who deface the very Tombs of Saints, and will not permit them to rest even when they are dead?
A61588They who partly banish Priests, and partly put them to death?
A61588They who pull down Monasteries both of Religious men and women?
A61588They who to propagate the Gospel the better, marry wives contrary to the Canons and bring Scripture for it?
A61588Think you then, that St. Augustin ever thought of a present Infallibility in the Church?
A61588This is the question, Which Church must be relyed on for judgement?
A61588This is your way of proving indeed, to take things for granted; but, How doth this necessity appear?
A61588This were indeed to the purpose, if it could be proved; Or, Doth Irenaeus go about to prove this first?
A61588Those that did appear, What equality and proportion was there among them?
A61588Though the Pope must use all moral means, yet, Why must a General Council be that necessary Medium?
A61588To the Expression; That he is no way satisfied with A. C. his addition( not expresly, at least not evidently:) for( saith he) What means he?
A61588To this you Answer, Grant false antecedents and false premises enow, and what absurdities will not be consequent, and fill up the conclusion?
A61588To this you answer, That as to all those helps, you use them with much more candour than Protestants do: And, why so?
A61588To what purpose then doth the Bishop urge, that a particular Church may publish any thing that is Catholick?
A61588To which you answer; But what Absurdity is it to grant, That the Definition of the Church teaching, is the Foundation of the Church taught?
A61588To your fourth Question( and then I will tell you my judgement) How your Church comes to be called or accounted the Catholick Church?
A61588Vnde traditio haec, utrúmne de Dominic ● authoritate descendens, an de Apostolorum mandatis& epistolis veniens?
A61588Was John Husse so ignorant, as not to know they would condemn him for Heresie, when a Council at Rome had condemned him for it already?
A61588Was ever any thing in this kind spoken with greater heat and confidence than this was here by Theodoret?
A61588Was it a sign, that Council was Infallible, that was afraid to speak out in a case of great consequence and necessity in the Church?
A61588Was it because the Britannick Church was then over- run with Pagan- Saxons, and the visible power of it confined to a narrow compass?
A61588Was it in this, that the Valentinians did acknowledge the Infallibility of the Church of Rome then, in Traditions?
A61588Was it lawful then in Henry''s time, to take this Oath or not?
A61588Was it not a Divine Revelation?
A61588Was it not from hence that Heresie was supposed to dissolve that obligation to obedience, which otherwise men lay under?
A61588Was it not lawful for Judah to reform her self, when Israel would not joyn?
A61588Was it not on the same account that the Doctrine of Christ was to be believed?
A61588Was it the Vse of the Liturgy in the English tongue?
A61588Was it, in denying the Pope''s Supremacy in eighth''s time?
A61588Was no Tradition, which would be accounted universal, doubted of by any men at any time?
A61588Was not Father Laynez his Doctrine highly approved at Rome, as well as by the Cardinal Legats at Trent, and all the Italian party?
A61588Was not here then sufficient ground for assent in the Primitive Christians, to the Apostles Doctrine?
A61588Was not the real Sacrifice of the Mass then generally believed?
A61588Was not this now a fit Oath to send Bishops to a free Council with?
A61588Was not this the just expectation of the people concerning him, That when he came he would tell them all things?
A61588Was not this then like to be a very free Council?
A61588Was that sufficient ground for Pope Clement to reform two thousand places, and would it not serve for all the rest?
A61588Was the Church of Rome without her Supremacy till that time?
A61588Was the Council any thing the more free, because that party which met there continued in what they had done?
A61588Was the woman of Samaria infallible, in reporting the discourse between Christ and her?
A61588Was this the thing you promised, or the proofs of your Churches Infallibility?
A61588We ask you, What it is we are bound to believe?
A61588We now come to the remaining Enquiry, which is, Whether your Doctrine, or ours, tends more to the Churches peace?
A61588We proceed now to enquire, what S. Austin saith elsewhere; Whether he doth any where else allow Invocation as due to Saints?
A61588Well then, our last resolution of Faith is into this Divine unwritten Tradition: But, whence come you to know, that this Tradition is Divine?
A61588Well, I see you are the man like to give me satisfaction; I pray to your third question, How I may be Infallibly certain of this Infallibility?
A61588Well, but the Scripture being in many places obscure, How shall I be certain this is the true sense of them?
A61588Well, but what, and where are these Motives of Credibility?
A61588Well, suppose that, What then?
A61588Were all other succeeding ages blind, and this Pope only clear and sharp- sighted?
A61588Were all the persons infallible, who gave an account to others of what Christ did?
A61588Were not the Bishops at age to understand their own priviledges?
A61588Were not the other party discountenanced and disgraced as much as might be?
A61588Were not these four first Councils confirmed?
A61588Were not they much more concerned about it then either Pelagius or Gregory were?
A61588Were the Apostles considered as Believers, when they were bid to take and eat?
A61588Were there no Churches without the Empire then?
A61588Were there not dissentions and divisions in the Apostles times?
A61588Were these men mad to make such a Canon as this, if they believed the Popes Supremacy of Divine Institution?
A61588Were these things defined by the Church at the beginning of the Reformation?
A61588Were they Infallible in their assent then or no?
A61588Were they consulted as the Heads of the Church, or only as eminent members of it in regard of their Faith and Piety?
A61588Were they not abhorred and detested in the highest manner by all true Protestants, both at home and abroad?
A61588Were they the Articles of Religion agreed on in the Convocation, 1562?
A61588Were they then Infallible in all their Decrees or no, especially concerning matters of Faith?
A61588What Antiquity, what Testimony of a succession of persons from the time of the writing of it?
A61588What Article was this, I pray, which the Pope is so zealous against?
A61588What Bishops by the consent of those Churches?
A61588What Bishops were there sent from the most of Christian Churches?
A61588What Chimerical Doctrine is that which he forges?
A61588What Heresies and Schisms might be among them before his Holiness could be acquainted with them?
A61588What Infallible Testimony have you for this, without which, you say, No certainty of Faith is to be had?
A61588What Metropolitans came thence?
A61588What Original of your Book could you shew?
A61588What Protestant could speak higher of the Scripture, and of those internal arguments which are the grounds of Faith than Tatianus in these words doth?
A61588What Truth can be evident, if it be not one of these three?
A61588What a dwindling expression is that, for the Head of the Church, to call him Bishop of Rome only, when a matter concerning his Supremacy is decreeing?
A61588What a learned dispute are we now fallen into?
A61588What a rare Interpreter are you grown since your acquaintance with Rider, and other English Lexicons?
A61588What account can be given of these passages, if the Vnity of the Catholick Church had depended on the particular Church of Rome?
A61588What addresses would have been made to him by the Bishops of other Churches?
A61588What again?
A61588What an excellent invention this is, to make the Pope and Cardinals go to Heaven, though they be Atheists and Infidels?
A61588What became then of the power of the Keyes at S. Peters death, if only formally in him, and not in the Church?
A61588What becomes of them at the death of every Pope?
A61588What did you lead us this long dance for, if you never intended to prove your Church infallible?
A61588What do you mean by matters requiring Determination?
A61588What do you say?
A61588What doth your Infallibility conduce to the believing Scriptures for themselves?
A61588What evidence can you bring to convince me, both that the Church alwayes observed this rule and could never be deceived in it?
A61588What greater certainty had they who lived in the time of Christ and his Apostles, and did not see their Miracles?
A61588What had the Valentinians to do with the power of the Church of Rome over other Churches?
A61588What hath he commanded her to do?
A61588What if any new contagion doth not only endeavour to defile a part only, but the whole Church?
A61588What if we should say, in our own times?
A61588What if, in elder times?
A61588What infallible Testimony of that Church had the poor Brittains to believe on?
A61588What is it then you would infer from the title of Vniversal Bishop being attributed to him?
A61588What is it you inferr hence?
A61588What is it you mean, when you say, That Faith is resolved into God''s Revelations as its Formal Object?
A61588What is there herein unsuitable to their present purpose?
A61588What is there in all this, that implies that others should be no Bishops, but only titular?
A61588What is there in these words which doth not fully belong to your Metaphorical sense of Head of the Church?
A61588What is there more than this, that you have to plead for the Vse of them?
A61588What matters of doctrine do you find brought to the Church of Rome to be Infallibly decided there in St. Cyprians time?
A61588What meant those words of the Emperour Ferdinand, in his Letters to the Legats and the Pope?
A61588What messages were there sent to the Eastern Patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch, and Alexanandria?
A61588What need then any rational person enquire further, why the Apostles Doctrine was to be believed?
A61588What not he, who professedly undertakes the Vindication of the Jesuites?
A61588What notice would have been taken by other Churches of him whom he had left his Successour?
A61588What now do you prove to destroy this?
A61588What now have you to shew to the contrary?
A61588What part is there now of our resolution of Faith, which is not herein asserted?
A61588What pitty it is, that the Fathers and Councils had not been made acquainted with this grand Secret of your Theological Reason?
A61588What reason is there then, that any thing else should be apprehended by the Suburbicary Churches?
A61588What reasonable pretext can be imagin''d for such a groundless fancy?
A61588What say you now to this?
A61588What say you to Hilary''s Anathema against Pope Liberius?
A61588What say you to the expunging the name of Felix Bishop of Rome out of the Diptychs of the Church, by Acacius the Patriarch of Constantinople?
A61588What security is there, that in no age of the Church any practises should come in, which were not used in the precedent?
A61588What signs of Infallibility?
A61588What testimonies of obedience and submission; what appeals and resort thither?
A61588What that Church was which St. Austin was moved by the Authority of?
A61588What the Controversie was which St. Austin was there discussing of?
A61588What the Ground is, why any thing becomes necessary to be believed in order to Salvation?
A61588What the Ground or Foundation is, on which things become necessary to be believed by particular persons?
A61588What the Grounds are on which any thing doth become necessary to Salvation?
A61588What the Grounds are on which any thing doth become necessary to Salvation?
A61588What the Measure and Extent is of those things which are to be believed by particular persons as necessary to Salvation?
A61588What then do the Fathers signifie with you?
A61588What then do the promises of Infallibility to the Council signifie, if the major part may definitively erre?
A61588What then if we grant that in Luthers time, there was no one Visible Church free from errours and corruptions?
A61588What then is the intent of this distinction?
A61588What then is, or can be wanting, in order to a Proposition of it to be believed?
A61588What then must do it?
A61588What then must we think of him?
A61588What then will become of the Faith of all those who received Divine Revelations, without the infallible Testimony of any Church at all?
A61588What then will he be able to answer to Christ the Head of the Vniversal Church, as St. Gregory understands it exclusivè of any other?
A61588What therefore is Gregories Grant to Austin, to the Primacy of England?
A61588What things are necessary to be owned in order to Salvation, by Christian Societies, or as the bonds and conditions of Ecclesiastical Communion?
A61588What things are necessary to be owned, in order to Church- Societies, or Ecclesiastical Communion?
A61588What things are necessary to the Salvation of men as such, or considered in their single and private capacities?
A61588What think you now of the Literal sense of Vniversal Bishop, for the Only Bishop?
A61588What those things are which are necessary to the Salvation of particular persons?
A61588What use are these moral means for?
A61588What waies did he use to convince them, that he was not a Spectre or Apparition, but by an appeal to their Senses?
A61588What was it then, I pray, that Justin Martyr, of a Philosopher becoming a Christian, resolved his Faith into?
A61588What was the Church built on before the Nicene Council, only on Sand?
A61588What was there like this in the Council of Trent?
A61588What were it worth, to have a sight of them?
A61588What work would you make with so illustrious a testimony in Antiquity for the Bishop of Rome as this is for the Patriarch of Constantinople?
A61588What would you do?
A61588What, Could not those who lived in St. Johns and St. Peters time know what they did?
A61588What, Must we then believe whatever you do, whether it be true or false?
A61588What, because they discern greater reason to believe then ever they did, must they find gripes and torture of spirit?
A61588What, do you want an infallible Testimony for this too?
A61588What, if it please you, Whether the Pope should be Vniversal Pastor, or no?
A61588What, that men and women( though not in Cloysters) pray and sing Hymns to God?
A61588What, the Spouse of Christ, the Catholick Church erre?
A61588What, the unshaken Rock of Truth to sink into errours?
A61588What, to joyn other Bishops with the Head of the Church in equal power for deciding Controversies?
A61588What?
A61588What?
A61588What?
A61588When God placed his Name there, as he did of old in Jerusalem?
A61588When God saith, In Jerusalem have I set my name for ever, doth it follow that Jerusalem should be alwayes Infallible?
A61588When the Catholick Church declared any controverted Book to be Canonical; Did not the Church then see as much Light in it as we do?
A61588When the belief and sense of Scripture depend according to you, upon the Churches Testimony, Whether hath more limits, the Church or Scripture?
A61588When you go about to prove the Churches Infallibility, by the Motives of Credibility, is it a Divine Faith or no, which may be built on these Motives?
A61588When you speak of the Church erring, Do you mean the Church in every Age since Christ''s Coming, concerning all the Books of Scripture?
A61588When you therefore ask, is not this great praise?
A61588Whence comes that Church which you call Infallible to have this Assistance of both these?
A61588Whence doth he derive this Authority and sole power of reforming Churches?
A61588Whence doth this appear?
A61588Where do the Principles of Protestants incourage or plead for, Heresie, Schism, Sacriledge, Rebellion,& c. much less cry them up as Heroicall actions?
A61588Where is it ever said in Scripture, or in the least intimated, that the Promises made to the Church are to be understood of the representative Church?
A61588Where is it that this answer is given by his Lordship?
A61588Where is that Command extant?
A61588Where is your consequence?
A61588Where it was, God repealed the second Commandment?
A61588Where still is this Command extant in Scripture?
A61588Where then lies the difference?
A61588Where then lyes the force of Irenaeus his argument?
A61588Where then shall I satisfie my self what the sense of your Church is, as to this particular?
A61588Where was the supposal of this Authority in the Dispute between the African Fathers, and the Popes, in the case of Appeals?
A61588Where we are commanded to resort thither for Divine Worship?
A61588Whether General Councils be Infallible?
A61588Whether all these be not in the most evident manner imaginable contained in the Doctrine of Christianity, and in the Books of Scripture?
A61588Whether any thing, whose matter is not necessary, and is not required by an absolute Command, can by any means whatsoever afterwards become necessary?
A61588Whether by that, the Roman Church be understood or no?
A61588Whether it be not in it self an errour?
A61588Whether it be possible to conceive that St. Gregory should take Vniversal Bishop in the literal and Grammatical sense which you give of it?
A61588Whether it be possible to conceive that St. Gregory should take Vniversal Bishop in the literal and Grammatical sense?
A61588Whether it extended only to the Apostles, or else to all believers?
A61588Whether it must not be something else besides the implicite defining himself to be Infallible?
A61588Whether the Romanists Doctrine of the Infallibility of Councils, or ours, tend more to the Churches peace?
A61588Whether the Romanists Doctrine of the Infallibility of Councils, or ours, tend more to the Churches peace?
A61588Whether the errours be fundamental and intolerable or no?
A61588Whether their Church, or ours, be guilty of the charge of Schism?
A61588Whether there be Scripture and demonstration against them or no?
A61588Whether they, or we, give the more satisfactory account of the Grounds of Faith?
A61588Whether this doth not render all pretence of Infallibility with you a vain and useless thing?
A61588Which I shall answer by another, How come the decrees of Councils to work upon you, if the reporters of those Decrees be fallible?
A61588Which is most fully expressed by Leo, speaking of S. Peter''s coming to Rome, Cujus nationis homines in hâc Vrbe non essent?
A61588Which way then must we understand that they implicitely define it?
A61588Which, What is it other than to assert, that the Pope shall never erre, though the Council may?
A61588Who are of Jeroboams Cabal?
A61588Who but Scepticks, Hereticks, and Schismaticks would keep out of her communion?
A61588Who dare be confident, this or that is the meaning of such a Decree, when it may be capable of several senses?
A61588Who doth not see this?
A61588Who is this Anonymus Apologist?
A61588Who knows not, what disputes have been raised about the sense of some of the Decrees of the Council of Trent?
A61588Who must judge, how the Council comes to be Infallible in the Conclusion, that was fallible in the use of the means?
A61588Who must then?
A61588Who then would not run into the bosom of such a Church as this, with whom there is nothing but what is Infallible?
A61588Whom do you dispute against in that?
A61588Whom is it then that they do thus infallibly assist?
A61588Whom must I believe in this case?
A61588Whom must we now believe, the Pope or you?
A61588Why I believe the Books themselves to be of Divine revelation?
A61588Why I believe the Doctrine contained in that Book to be Divine?
A61588Why are you so severe against your Proselytes reading them, Is it because you would not cast Pearls before Swine?
A61588Why brings he the Apostle as Panegyrist of the Roman Faith?
A61588Why did not the Council superscribe their Synodical Epistle to Pope Leo with that title?
A61588Why did they proceed to make new Decrees in these matters?
A61588Why do you not answer to the thing, and not barely to Occham?
A61588Why do you not produce some instance of any oath taken to the Pope in any of the first General Councils?
A61588Why is not the Pope''s Supremacy mentioned as the ground of these Appeals then?
A61588Why may not a Provincial, or lesser Council serve turn?
A61588Why may not then the Council of Trent be opposed as well as them?
A61588Why no sooner than the Canons of Sardica?
A61588Why no sooner than the Canons of Sardica?
A61588Why not at all mentioned in them?
A61588Why so?
A61588Why then( say you) Tradition hath much advantage of Scripture?
A61588Why was it not then condemned and Anathematized as one of his Heresies?
A61588Why was the world so deceived with the promises of a Free and General Council?
A61588Why?
A61588Will God grant that for the Merits of the Saints, which he would not do for the Intercession of Christ?
A61588Will any one deny there are tares in the field, because he did not see them sown?
A61588Will no Canons of the Church evidence it before them?
A61588Will not then the parity of reason hold proportionably for one as well as the other?
A61588Will the very title do more then what is signified by it?
A61588Will you believe men of your own Communion?
A61588Will you believe such things, wherein persons of several Ages, Professions, Nations, Religions, Interests, are all agreed that they were so?
A61588Will you believe then your Cardinals?
A61588Will you give him leave to judge what is fittest for his Church himself?
A61588Will you give us leave to come near and handle this unanswerable argument a little?
A61588Will you have your supposition of the Infallibility of Councils taken for a first principle, or a thing as true as the Scriptures?
A61588Will you say now, that the intent of civil authority is to bind men necessarily to sin?
A61588Will you say, God accounts all those things sufficiently proposed to mens belief, which you judge to be so?
A61588Will you say, as Bellarmin doth, that Christ takes them, and gives them to his Successour?
A61588Will you say, because it is possible all mens senses may deceive them, therefore there can be no certainty of any object of sense?
A61588Will you then believe such men, who lost their lives to make it appear, that their Testimony was true?
A61588Will you then believe the report of such men, whom, I can make it appear, could have no interest in deceiving you?
A61588With what Faith did the Disciples of Christ at the time of his suffering, believe the Divine Authority of the Old Testament?
A61588With what scorn and contempt do the Primitive Christians reject the use of Images, and that not in regard of an absolute, but a relative Worship?
A61588Would Pharaoh, or the Aegyptians have believed Moses, if all his miracles had been wrought in a corner, where none but Israelites had been present?
A61588Would not any considerate Heathens have said as much as this is?
A61588Would you have all the Churches of Christ agreed in this Testimony in all Ages from the Apostles times?
A61588Would you have an unquestionable evidence, that this was writ by one of Christ''s Apostles, called S. Matthew?
A61588Would you have it delivered to you by the Testimony of the present Church?
A61588Would you have them delivered only to General Councils, or the Pope and his Cardinals?
A61588Would you look on it as sufficiently proved because we asserted it?
A61588Yea even among those who in some few other points dissented from the Pope, and the Latin Church?
A61588Yes( say you) these Books were left then under dispute: with whom were they under dispute?
A61588Yes, say you, he saith, That all the faithful must of necessity have recourse to the Church of Rome?
A61588You acknowledge this to be true in acts of Knowledge, but not of Faith; but, What do you make to be the genus in your definition of Faith?
A61588You ask first, Whether we believe all Scripture, or only a part of it?
A61588You ask then, Who shall be judge, whether a Council were lawfully called, and did lawfully proceed or no?
A61588You assert that to be a sufficient ground in the case of Pope and Councils?
A61588You can have no such kind of certainty, of what Decrees were passed by them, and whether those Decrees were at all confirmed by the Pope or no?
A61588You pray and sing, but how?
A61588You say so; but, I see no reason for it, Must you be my judge, or I my own?
A61588You say, Because the Church is infallible, which delivers them to us; but how should we come to know that she is infallible?
A61588You say, General Councils are Infallible: Who must be judge of that too?
A61588You say, General Councils may happen to be obscure in matters requiring Determination; Do you mean, in things decreed by them or not?
A61588You say, To what purpose else doth he mention St. Pauls commendation of their Faith, if this perfidia were not immediately opposite to it?
A61588You say, You submit to them all: but, Do you submit to them all as infallible, or no?
A61588You tell us indeed, That these Motives make it evidently credible; but must we believe it to be so, because you say so?
A61588You tell us, That your Church doth Anathematize only such persons as are obstinate; but who are they whom she accounts obstinate?
A61588You tell us, You use all these helps: but to what purpose do you use them?
A61588Your first demand is, How comes Apostolical Primitive Tradition to work upon us, if the present Church be fallible?
A61588Your next Inquiry( if I understand it) is to this sense, Whether Apostolical Tradition be not then as credible as the Scriptures?
A61588and Christs Vicar upon earth should the most need to have his Faith pray''d for, that it should not fail?
A61588and I pray, Will it not be as sufficient in the case of a Quaker, or Enthusiast?
A61588and absolving subjects from their obedience, tend to promote their Eternal Salvation?
A61588and all this meerly to comply with the Schismatical Donatists?
A61588and and how far it is obligatory?
A61588and are driven back to their old impertinency, Where was your Church before Luther?
A61588and are these the effects of an Infallible Spirit?
A61588and as Apostles, when Christ said, drink ye all of this?
A61588and both of them Infallible, whether they agree or not?
A61588and by whom this point of Faith was determined?
A61588and choose whether of those you have the more mind to?
A61588and consequently the denyal of them can not amount to the denyal of an Article of Faith?
A61588and could it be any other then unlawful if the Pope were the Vniversal Pastour of the Church?
A61588and do not these accompany her, as much as the Church?
A61588and do you, or can you, deny them to be his words?
A61588and from these places?
A61588and how can that, unless it antecedently appear by its own Light, that the Scripture, in which the Promise is written, is the VVord of God?
A61588and how much less assurance can we have, who have all our Evidence from the certainty of their report?
A61588and if this be some particular fallible Church, the other must be some particular infallible Church?
A61588and is not that as much or more endangered by erroneous doctrines then by personal abuses?
A61588and may they not be called her Light, as properly as those of the Church?
A61588and so clearly, that it can not be denied?
A61588and supposing them not Infallible, How far they are to be submitted to?
A61588and that after all this too, the Emperour should undertake to give the final decision to it?
A61588and that if Superiours be once accused as parties, all order and peace is gone?
A61588and that not meerly with a respect to what is represented, but with a worship belonging to the Images themselves?
A61588and then to what end do we quarrel with their Faith for being built on greater motives of credibility?
A61588and then, I pray, What doth the pretended Infallibility of general Councils signifie, if your Church give all the Authority to them?
A61588and then, Whether all Inferiour Pastors, or only Bishops?
A61588and then, Whether nothing short of this Infallible certainty will serve in order to Faith?
A61588and though they were so, yet could not prove the Scriture,& c?
A61588and was that, as Divine a Faith, as what they had afterwards?
A61588and what Infallible certainty you can have of such intention of his?
A61588and when he produces no more, is it not a plain confession he found no more to his purpose?
A61588and whereon must that Faith be grounded?
A61588and whether it be not sinful, heretical, and damnable, so much as modestly to doubt of it?
A61588and who have left excellent monuments of their endeavours in this nature?
A61588and yet must the intention of the Priest with you be a much surer ground then these are?
A61588and, Do you really think, that all such could not be sufficiently assured, that Christian Religion was infallibly true?
A61588and, How far the definitive Sentence binds?
A61588and, What is to be done, in case there can not be a free and indifferent Judge?
A61588and, What not?
A61588and, When did Pope and Council determine, that no Council without the Pope, is Infallible?
A61588and, Whereon is that Faith built?
A61588and, do you think the Church enjoyes still the same power over offenders, which S. Peter then had?
A61588as, Who shall be he?
A61588at least such as you produce for it afterwards?
A61588aut quae uspiam gentes ignorarent, quod Roma didicisset?
A61588because, say you, she hath the more powerful principality: But, What principality do you mean?
A61588but how can that be, unless I know before, that, when Pope and Council joyn, they are Infallible?
A61588but that it shall never fall out, that by any means whatsoever they shall erre together?
A61588but that was it I was seeking for Which that Church is, which may declare what errours are fundamental and what not?
A61588but what is it which makes it a Church?
A61588but where is the proof for all this?
A61588but, Whether opinion be lyable to greater Inconveniencies, that which asserts that they may, or that they can not, err?
A61588but, what is it you would thence infer to your purpose?
A61588by what deeds are the conveyances settled of the priviledges of the Church to them?
A61588by what means did he reclaim Thomas from his Infidelity, but by bidding him make use of his Senses?
A61588by what means shall the Churches Power of defining matters of Faith, be sufficiently proposed to men as an Article of Faith?
A61588by you, or by S. Augustine?
A61588can not I suppose that Christian Religion may be in the world, without such an Infallibility?
A61588did St. Peter deny Christ as Prince of the Apostles?
A61588do we meet with all?
A61588doth that add any thing to the Light of Scripture?
A61588doth this import that she shall Infallibly do it, or rather that it is her duty to do it?
A61588doth this pass for wit at Rome?
A61588especially on your principles, who make all certainty of knowing it to depend on that Churches Authority?
A61588for these being such grand difficulties, you had need of some very clear evidence of them: If you send him to Scripture, he asks you, To what end?
A61588for what is there, men can desire more in a Church then she hath, where every thing is so Infallible?
A61588how can you assure me of that, that I have no reason to suspect the contrary?
A61588how comes it to be limited to him?
A61588how little did St. Cyprian believe this, when he so vehemently opposed the judgement of Stephen Bishop of Rome in the case of rebaptization?
A61588how then was that present Church infallible, which lost a Declaration in matter of Faith?
A61588if it be, What need your Churches Definition, in a thing that is obvious to any ones reason?
A61588if it be, then they may believe an Article of Faith without Infallible certainty, and then what need our Churches Infallibility?
A61588if it was undoubtedly such, Can such a Promise be false, and not God''s Revelation?
A61588if it was, then it was not lost, and then what need a new Declaration?
A61588if so, then was not your Church in Ruffinus''s time, much to seek for her Infallibility, in defining what was Apostolical tradition, and what not?
A61588if they be not left, how could any of these Books be derived from Apostolical Tradition, when we have no means to trace such a Tradition by?
A61588if they may, Why do you quarrel with our way as uncertain?
A61588if we may in such things, why not in other matters of fact which infinitely more concern the world to know then whatever Caesar or Pompey did?
A61588infallibly forsooth: But whence comes this Infallibility?
A61588may we not well be accounted blind, when for our sakes Infallibility it self must be so too?
A61588more immediately and clearly?
A61588must it be by the Churches defining it?
A61588must the Church continue as it did, meerly because the Superiours make themselves parties?
A61588must there not be a peculiar Revelation, to discover that to be necessary, which was never discovered to be so before?
A61588no, as bold as you are, you dare not challenge that: but whence then come you to know them to be necessary?
A61588not he, who extolls Father Garnet who was executed in England for the Gunpowder- treason, yet for all this not he known to be a Jesuite?
A61588not he, who was so seriously recommended by Fronto Ducaeus a Jesuite himself?
A61588nothing of the Church of Rome, nor Christ''s Vicar on Earth, and his Infallibility?
A61588nunquid specialem injuriam vindico?
A61588on a promise made to the Council, or to the Pope?
A61588or determine, that those who come from Hereticks, shall not be rebaptized, but they must presently condemn all who do otherwise, for Hereticks?
A61588or did he only promise it to the men of that Age and Generation, and leave others to the mercy of the Churches Definitions?
A61588or do you think he hath not wisdom enough to do it, unless the Philosophers instruct him?
A61588or doth it by necessary consequence follow from it?
A61588or else, shew how two distinct Hypostases alwayes remaining so, can concur in the same numerical action ad intra?
A61588or hath it some other Revelation, and Divine Tradition to attest it?
A61588or must we think you speak these words in good earnest?
A61588or only as Patriarch of Alexandria, and chief of that party?
A61588or only that he owned that Doctrine which was Divine and Apostolical?
A61588or only that man partakes so much of the properties of a living creature, that he may well receive the denomination?
A61588or ought I not rather to take the judgement of the greatest and most approved persons in that Church?
A61588or rather because no errour in Faith can approach the See Apostolick?
A61588or rather, doth he not use the more diligence to distinguish one from the other?
A61588or such be put into them who were guilty of the same fault with themselves, in refusing the Oath, when tendred to them?
A61588or that the reason of believing doth not?
A61588or those Barbarians mentioned in Irenaeus, who yet believed without a written word?
A61588or to change it into any thing, but that which was appointed by him?
A61588or what do they say less; for they acknowledge, that the Spirit is the Spirit of the Son as well as he?
A61588or, Can you find any medium between being put in and being left out?
A61588or, Do you mean, all those who are entrusted with the Government of these?
A61588or, Do you think the numbers of breakers of his Institution make the fault the less?
A61588or, Is it not?
A61588or, Is it probable that it should erre?
A61588or, What Reasons it was built on, which were only proper to the Jews, and can not extend to the Christians too?
A61588or, What else?
A61588or, What there was in it typical and ceremonial, that it must cease to oblige at Christ''s coming?
A61588or, Where in are we neerer to unity, if the Pope confirm it not?
A61588or, Whether they made any Use at all of it?
A61588or, Which of them else was it, which made the Protestant Church to be no true Church?
A61588or, that all men are bound to think those things necessary to Salvation, which you think so?
A61588or, that the unity of the Church lay in acknowledging the Pope to be Christs Vicar, or in dependence on the Church of Rome?
A61588or, the Definition of the Church representative, is the Foundation of the Church diffusive?
A61588or, the present Church, concerning only some Books of Scripture?
A61588or, will you acknowledge that he was quite beside the Cushion, that is, not in Cathedrâ when he spake it?
A61588over all Churches?
A61588quam libri à te prolati originem, quam vetustatem, quam seriem successionis testem citabis?
A61588quò te convertes?
A61588she that hath never taught any thing but Truth, be charged with falshood?
A61588should we have suffered this Gangrene to endanger life and all, rather then be cured in time by a Physitian of weaker knowledge, and a less able hand?
A61588speak out, and tell us, What they are, and where they lye, and how they may be known?
A61588that appeals to Rome should be so severely prohibited by the African Bishops?
A61588that causes should be determined by so many Canons to be heard in their proper Dioceses?
A61588that he should not do it himself, or, that his Successours should not do it?
A61588that the whole Church is of your side, and against us?
A61588that the whole Province had lost its right?
A61588that your Church is infallible?
A61588that, Stephen should be opposed as he was by Cyprian and Firmilian in a way so reflecting on the Authority of the Roman Church?
A61588that, when the right of appeals was challenged by the Bishops of Rome, it was wholly upon the account of the imaginary Nicene Canons?
A61588the Churches, or the Scriptures end?
A61588the Infallibility of the Church of Rome?
A61588the Infallibility of the present Church?
A61588the Infallible Church be deceived?
A61588the Pope and Council together?
A61588the Pope himself, or not?
A61588the denying your Churches Infallibility?
A61588then, saith he, the Decrees of General Councils are to be preferred: But in case there be none?
A61588to add to his Doctrine by making things necessary, which he never made to be so?
A61588to enable him to pass a right judgement, or no?
A61588to have such kind of Ecclesiastical Saturnalia, when the servus servorum must, under that name, tyrannize over the whole world?
A61588to the Pope, or not?
A61588to these, or to those who were justly deprived?
