A30889Now, I ask, Sectary, if Pope Innocent deliver''d this Faith to us, who deliver''d it to the Greeks?

A60427not, Master, is it he?

A60427the Bread which he break: well then, yet it is Bread: when he had given it, they did eat it; what did they eat?
A60427the Bread which he gave them; well then, yet it is Bread: when they did eat it, then he said, This is my Body; what did he call his Body?
A60427the Bread which he took; well then, yet it is Bread: when he had blessed it, then he break it; what did he break?
A70303And a little after, How many are there now adaies that say, O that I could see his Figure, his Garments, his Shooes?
A70303And did Tradition duely circumstantiated, ever yet fail?
A70303And how would this high favour melt your soul into a mòst tender affection towards him?
A70303And then think how it could be possible for a whole Country by little and little imperceptibly to change its Language?
A70303And what was that?
A70303And why all this?
A70303And why?
A70303But barely to tell us, that it is his blood, and yet to let it tast and appear as it did; how is this credible?
A70303But hovv do I knovv that Jesus Christ taught that he vvas God?
A70303But how can bread be the body of Christ?
A70303But how comes it to pass then, we having had Historians that have mentioned far less Matters, yet say not a word of any such thing?
A70303But how do I know Jesus Christ wrought such miracles?
A70303But how is the Earth holy, and to be adored by us?
A70303But how was this new Faith bred in us?
A70303But how?
A70303But if there be so much to be said for this great mystery, how comes it to pass so many have so great difficulty to believe it?
A70303But to get a right, strong and well grounded Faith concerning this high mystery, what must we do?
A70303But what word of Christ?
A70303But why so?
A70303By Consecration: Consecration; by what and whose words is it perfected?
A70303Did they some strange morning or other, all awake of a different belief from what they had been of the Evening before?
A70303Doest thou see then how operative the word of Christ is?
A70303Else how came all Christendom, according to the confession of our Adversaries for many Ages universally to believe it?
A70303For why are we so assured our senses can not deceive us?
A70303He changed water into wine in Cana of Galilee, by his sole Will, and shall he not be worthy whom we may believe, that he changed wine into his blood?
A70303How came they then not to clash about it, or if they did, how comes it to pass other differences are recorded and this is omitted?
A70303How came they then to lose their cause?
A70303How came they to learn it then?
A70303How can this stand with the Almightys desire, that the World should not mistake the true Religion?
A70303How earnestly should we have made all our Petitions to him, and how heartily should we have thanked him for all his Love?
A70303How heartily would you cry him mercy for all your sins, and earnestly recommend all the desires of your soul unto him?
A70303How is it not contrary to one, but to all the Miracles that ever he wrought?
A70303How would the presence of such an Oblation have kept them attentive, and encreased their servor in their Prayers?
A70303I have a horror to mention them, for they are such proud things,& c. But may not general Councils at least presume to reach new Doctrines?
A70303I read the citations to a Clergy- man of my Acquaintance, I demand of him what he thought their belief was, who in those words expressed their Faith?
A70303In fine, what vertue should not our dear Saviour have given us example of, by such a charitable humiliation of himself?
A70303Is it not because we never experienced them to fail us in due circumstances?
A70303Is it not sufficient that the substance of our- Lord''s body in Heaven, be made to be under the accidents of bread and wine here?
A70303Let him pretend Scriptures, and bring a thousand places out of the Law, Psalms, Prophets, and Apostles; what will the Reply be?
A70303Moreover our Lord Jesus himself testifies unto us, that we receive his body and blood; ought we then to doubt of his testification?
A70303Nor do Catholicks therefore, out of such a circumstance, doubt of all the bread they see, whether it be not their Lords body or no?
A70303Now what is this Foot- stool of God?
A70303Or did the Britons before S. Austin the Monk, believe no such thing?
A70303Or rather would not such pittiful Weapons fall out of thy hand, at the presence of so great Doctors, and such grave Prelates of Gods Church?
A70303Or will my Calvinist have the impudence to accuse( as some do) th ● se grave Doctors of blindness?
A70303Seeing then Christ himself so affirms and says concerning the bread, This is my body who after this can dare to doubt of it?
A70303What an Age are we fal''n into?
A70303What an incentive would this have been to Christian piety?
A70303What arguments would occur to thee?
A70303What means then to make persons thus disposed to leave their an ● ient Faith, and admit of a Novelty?
A70303What must they pretend then, to impose upon their Children this new and strange mysterious Doctrine?
A70303Why then in our present case, if he turn wine into his blood, does it not appear to our fight to be blood?
A70303Why, how is the substance of the same Air condens''d under a lesser quantity to day, which rarified yesterday, was under a greater quantity?
A70303With what face wouldst thou look upon them?
A70303Wouldst thou dare, wouldst thou have the face to produce such wodden Daggers as thou art ever and anon drawing upon us?
A70303without a Teacher, and all in the same year, or in what length of time?
A02396And then last of all, let them close vp all with this pleasing conceit, that surely their opinion is inuincible: for why?
A02396And yet should not he be thought( at least) distempred in his wittes, that would hereupon inferre a substantiall change of that water?
A02396Are not not all His expostulations& messages whatsoeuer, directed vnto the conscience, whose ground is Sense and Science?
A02396Are then thy supposes dishonourable vnto God?
A02396As if God speakes vnto vs in any other language but our owne?
A02396As if cob- webs were any whit the stronger for beeing built in pallaces?
A02396Because the corruption of nature must be wrought out, must therefore nature it selfe be destroyed?
A02396But say then; wha ● was the intent of this our Sau ● ours Ordinance?
A02396But shall man therefore be carelesse of his actions?
A02396Could His multiplying loaues be more wonderfull, then this multiplying humane bodies?
A02396Could there then be imagined a more abominable reproach against the highest, then once to imagine the like manner of receiuing Him?
A02396Does God call for thy seruice, because He needs it?
A02396Does not euery word of God presuppose at least a reasonable vnderstanding, being otherwise as commendable vnto the beast?
A02396Euen thus much alone might it not bee sufficient to conclude the Church to be negatiue concerning these supposes?
A02396For are not Sense& Reason the very ordinance of God, imprinted in mans nature when it was most perfect?
A02396For else, why saies an other Scripture, it is impossible that God should lie?
A02396For first concerning Scripture; where does that affirme or import any such matters?
A02396For the onely meanes which Grace vseth vnto mans conuersion, being preaching and miracles: take away Sense, and what shall become of preaching?
A02396For what meant Moses when he tooke that golden calfe, and beating it to powder, made the Idolaters drinke of it?
A02396For what though the cause happily did not need our helpe, or that the truth were plaine enough?
A02396God can raise children out of stones, and humane bodies out of morsells of bread; must it therefore so be expected?
A02396He passed through the wombe of a woman without defilement; true: but was it without abasement?
A02396If thou sinnest( saith Iob) what doest thou against Him: or if thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto Him?
A02396Imagine, O ● ucifer, if thou canst?
A02396Is it any thing to the Almighty that thou art righteous?
A02396It saith, This is my body; true: and who saies otherwise?
A02396Or againe, how is it that they so often rehearse in the Gospells the other miracles, and yet will not vouchsafe any of these once the naming?
A02396Or does their adoring Him, as they pretend, before they thus receiue Him, helpe the matter?
A02396Or must we suppose, that though no Scriptures expresly affirme these things, yet by inference or circumstance they may imply as much?
A02396Or say if that Beast could haue more names of blasphemy vpon his head then this hath?
A02396So againe take away reason, and what shall become of miracles?
A02396So because sense and reason can not lay hold of future things, shall therefore the Faith deny their iudgement in present things?
A02396The blasphemies of wicked men do no way hurt, or come nigh Him; shall it therefore be lawfull to blaspheame?
A02396Thou reachest foorth thy hand in loue or fauour vnto some man; he biteth it, or puts it in his mouth; does hee honour thee in so doing?
A02396What then, in the second place, saith the Church?
A02396and is this a fit e ● ercise for to learne a weak fai ● to beleeue, by putting vpon such manner of supposes?
A02396and the hypocrite to the common opinion, to see the madnesse of speaking in an vnknowne tongue?
A02396as if the true eating of this flesh indeed, did not consist in our onely beleeuing on Him, and that before euer we tast of this Sacrament?
A02396because dooms day may be to morrowe, must it needs therefore so befal?
A02396but what meant He?
A02396can it be ingrafted into the beast?
A02396can not my beast be subiect vnto me, vnlesse it falls downe vnder me?
A02396does He not send the vnbeleeuer to his touch, to feele the truth of his resurrection?
A02396does possibility impose necessitie?
A02396does ruling ouer subiects consist in destroying subiects?
A02396how shal they mooue admiration and astonishment, or get acknowledgement?
A02396how shall we heare, or how shall we read?
A02396is therefore honour and dishonour vnto Him all one?
A02396or because the Eye can not heare, shall therefore the Eare put out the eye?
A02396or must we rather goe search from age to age, the particular determination of the Fathers and writers in their times about these matters?
A02396or that Scripture which tells vs that wee must eate His flesh,& c. does it of necessitie bind vs to beleeue, that here it is in the forme of bread?
A02396or was his transfiguration on the mount more meruailous, then this His transformation, or, transubstantiation, if it were not counterfeit?
A02396shall they not so much the sooner be swept away?
A02396the Ruffian to the light of nature, to see the deformitie of long haire?
A02396was it to doe a honour vnto the Idoll, or to ingraine the people in Idolatry?
A02396what then?
A02396what was his meaning?
A02396when He called Peter a stone did he meane to turne him into a stone, as He did the vnbeleeuer into a pillar of salt?
A02396where then is the merit thereof?
A02396wilt thou therefore be indifferent whether thou sinnest or not, whether thou does well or not?
A02396would He haue giuen them no expectation of such wonders toward?
A02396yea take away these reasonable powers, and what shall become of the Faith?
A02396yea, had the Disciples supposed any such wonders, would they haue bin so silent, without so much as asking, how can these things be?
A02396yea, what more abominable vsage can be imagined?
A02396yea, when the Lord meanes most palpably to conuince men, does He not referre them to their senses?
A02396● magine who can?
A6641310 ▪ But how doth he mould the Word of God into what Form he pleases, that understands that Figuratively which was Figuratively spoken?
A6641320?
A66413And if he reads the Protestant Answer again, he will find no occasion for those words, Where,& c. if this be it not?
A66413And if the same, how it could come from Heaven, when he was of the Seed of David, according to the Flesh?
A66413And indeed, thus St. Peter understood him, who concludes almost in the same words, Lord, to whom shall we go?
A66413And so he runs on to the Creation, and Incarnation,& c. I am a little at a loss here, to what cause our Authors mistake is to be assign''d?
A66413And to whom doth our Author speak when he thus Expostulates, Is it because our Saviour spake some things by way of Parable, that all he said was such?
A66413And where( to add another Where) will he find these literally in the words, This is my Body?
A66413And whether Christ who is perfect God, may not be intire in the Sacrament, and in many places at one and the same time, is the Query?
A66413And why did he not as sharply admonish him for offering to shew that the words might infer the conversion of Christ''s Flesh into Bread?
A66413Answerer was, what the meaning is of This, in, This is my Body?
A66413As how?
A66413But after all, what is this to the Argument?
A66413But doth it not matter whether St. Mark expresseth the words in order?
A66413But here he saith that the Answerer pretends not to prove by these Texts that the Body and Blood of Christ are not in the Sacrament, p. 24 Why so?
A66413But how doth he clear the Point, and shew they infer no such conversion?
A66413But what has he to accuse the Protestant Answerer of?
A66413But what is this to his Soul and Divinity; and to the literal sense of he that eateth me, and the Argument the Answerer prest upon him?
A66413But what need is there to go to the Church in this case?
A66413But what then?
A66413But what was the Parable he spoke?
A66413But what''s become of the Seeker himself, for this four Months past?
A66413But what''s become of the Soul and Divinity of Christ?
A66413But when Christ promised to be in the midst of them, did he promise to be there Corporally?
A66413But where is that perfidiousness, since no more is denied to Christ, than is to God?
A66413But where is this plain Scripture for the Door''s being a Parable?
A66413But where is this the opinion of the Protestant Answerer?
A66413But why all this, when he believes all the Scripture teaches, and reason it self justifies?
A66413But why did our Saviour repeat it?
A66413But, how these things could be thus applied to our Saviour without a Figure?
A66413Did he confirm the Literal sense?
A66413Doth he think these were before the Sacrament?
A66413Doth it not suppose the Absence of the thing?
A66413First, saith he, Let the Catholick Answerer tell me without a Figure, what is that meat which endures to Everlasting Life?
A66413For the Question is not, Whether a Spiritual Being may not be under the appearance of a Body?
A66413For what tho all the Evangelists agree that the words, This is my Blood; were then used by our Saviour?
A66413Had he no other way to get clear of his Adversary, but to fix this upon him?
A66413Has the Protestant Answer to the Seekers Request, broke these Measures, and forced them to think of another Expedient?
A66413He saith further, How could they be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord, v. 27. if the Body and Blood be not there?
A66413Here indeed he has put a Question, which I confess I should have been ready to ask; What''s this to the purpose?
A66413How Jesus is Bread, and the Bread that came down from Heaven?
A66413How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?
A66413How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?
A66413How mean and ridiculous is this?
A66413How one of his Church can talk of a literal Sense of,[ except ye drink his Blood], which denies the Cup to the Laity?
A66413How that?
A66413How the Bread and the Flesh of Christ could be the same?
A66413How the Son was sealed by the Father?
A66413How this?
A66413If bodily, I would fain know under what Form he is there?
A66413If this had been done, how meanly would it have look''d ▪ though he brought his 24 Texts to prove it?
A66413Is it because our Saviour spake some things by way of Parable, that all he said was such?
A66413Is not the Real Presence and Transubstantiation all as one?
A66413May not a man believe, unless he believes contrary to what he himself sees, and the Scripture teaches?
A66413Neither is the Question, whether an Object may be one thing to the eye of Flesh, and another to the eye of Faith?
A66413Now his Body was pierced, and Blood spilt at his Circumcision, followed by unspeakable Pains, restless Labours,& c. What his Agony in the Garden?
A66413Now, where is the fault?
A66413Now, who would not think upon this charge, that his Real Presence and Transubstantiation, are as inconsistent as Truth and Falshood?
A66413Or doth the Repetition of it without Explication shew it to be the Literal sense?
A66413Or in the Form of Tongues of Fire?
A66413Or is it perfidious to say, it''s impossible to make the circumscribed Body of Christ to be Omnipresent?
A66413Or that he never spake otherwise?
A66413Or why is he worse than Thomas, when Thomas would not believe unless he saw?
A66413Our Author readily answers, Ask the Question, What?
A66413Pray, saith he, how was his Body to be seen, Extended, Finite, and Circumscribed, when he pass''d through Walls and Doors that were close?
A66413So Jewish it is to question God, how he could do it?
A66413Surely he could not but understand that the How relates not to the manner, How these things be?
A66413This do: What?
A66413This do; What?
A66413This is( what?)
A66413To all these our Author returns a general Answer, As to his, How the Son was sealed by the Father, and the rest of his How''s?
A66413Was his Body Intire, Extended, Finite, and Circumscribed with Limbs, Bones, and Sinews?
A66413Well, how will he prove Christ intirely in the Sacrament?
A66413What did he confirm?
A66413What his being crowned with Thorns and Bloody Whipping at the Pillar?
A66413What is there he would have him believe?
A66413What of the Declaration he was in the Conclusion to make for the Catholick Faith of Rome, which we are now told of?
A66413What of the self- same Substance wherein he was born of the Virgin?
A66413What of the true Body, truly, really, and substantially contain''d under the Forms of Bread and Wine?
A66413What saith our Author to this?
A66413What saith our Author to this?
A66413What shall I say?
A66413What though Christ first gave thanks, and blessed it, before he gave it, if he did not also use the words of Conversion, before he gave it?
A66413What, saith he, is this to the Being, or not Being of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Sacrament?
A66413Where that the Bread and Wine are upon Consecration turned into the true Body and Blood of Christ?
A66413Where that the Bread and Wine are upon Consecration, turn''d into the True Body and Blood of Christ,& c. Which truly, are Where''s indeed?
A66413Where that this true Body and Blood is truly, really and substantially contained under the Forms of Bread and Wine?
A66413Where that this true Body and Blood?
A66413Where the insincerity?
A66413Where''s now the Resolution he was to come to?
A66413Where, When and How did Christ give us Bread to eat which should be his Flesh, if this be it not in the Sacrament?
A66413Where, says he, is there one word?
A66413Which are what he profess''d firmly and truly to believe by the same Faith he believes a God?
A66413Which if true, what need of Teachers?
A66413Will our Author venture to say, there is no more from Scripture to prove the Consubstantiality of the Son, than there is to prove Transubstantiation?
A66413in the land of Oberon?
A66413thought I, where am I now?
A66413which if fully resolved, will overthr ● w all his reasoning Ware besides?
A66413who would not think now, that the word Transubstantiation was abominated by him, and as little used in their Church, as it is in ours?
A66413— How came he through?
A09108& c. What dost thou search after thinges vnsearcheable?
A09108And I would aske ● this poore glossist, what maketh this note to the purpose of S. Chrysostome?
A09108And could the auncient Fathers speake more effectually, properly or cleerly then this?
A09108And doth any man vnderstand him?
A09108And finally, whether his words were effectuall, and wrought any thinge or noe?
A09108And is not Ridley ridiculous heere?
A09108And is not this a Bishopp like aunswere?
A09108And is not this a goodly proofe of so great a charge?
A09108And is not this ridiculous, or doth Ridley vnderstand this his riddle?
A09108And is there any Protestant that will speake thus?
A09108And is there any Protestant, that will speake thus at this day?
A09108And the other Saint Cyrill of Alexandria saith to the same effect; that in this mystery we should not so much as aske quomodo how yt can be done?
A09108And to the same effect in his booke de Sacramentis: Ergo sermo Christi hoc conficit Sacramentum; Qui sermo?
A09108And what great miracle is this I pray yow, to multiply many figures in diuers places of one thinge, who may not do so?
A09108And whether this be of such necessity, as he may not be without a wife, one at least?
A09108And yet who seeth not, that this is but a playne shift?
A09108And yf he replyed in so large a manner as Fox setteth it downe, how did they breake of?
A09108As for example, Fortè dicas,& c. Perhaps yow may say, how are these things true?
A09108But I would aske him, who shal be iudge what the holy Ghost teacheth vs?
A09108But how doth Caluyn proue( thinke yow) that our beleefe of the Sacrament implyeth this contradiction of flesh and no flesh?
A09108But how doth Cranmer himselfe auoyd this plaine authority of S. Ambrose, thinke yow?
A09108Christ Iesus doth testifie vnto vs, that vve receaue his body& bloud, and shall we doubt of his testimony?
A09108Christ, and S. Chrysostome expoundinge him, or Ridley against them both?
A09108Church hath not for her beleefe in that high mistery?
A09108Consider heere the speach of Saint Augustine, whether it may agree to the eatinge of a signe of Christs body or bloud; what horror is there in that?
A09108Do you graunt the antecedent?
A09108Do yow see a wise argument?
A09108Do yow see his breuity and obscurity?
A09108Do yow see the euasion?
A09108Do yow see the fond euasion?
A09108Do yow see this exposition?
A09108Doctor Cole replyed; is it not a shame for an old man to lye?
A09108Dost thou see bread?
A09108For first what authority, maiesty and verity of scriptures doth this man bring forth; trow you, for confirmation of this his vaunt?
A09108For what men or people would haue attempted to begin, or bring in so great a matter as this?
A09108For yf they brake of, how did he reply, especially his reply being somewhat long?
A09108Forty yeares gone, vvhether could yow haue gone to haue found your doctrine?
A09108Further, whether Christ be true in his words,& whether he mynded to do that, which he spake at his last supper?
A09108How shall yt be made euident to these heretiks, that this bread, in which thanks haue byn giuen, is the body of their Lord?
A09108In so high matters( as these of the Sacrament) let vs neuer thinke or alleage this word( quomodo) that is, how yt can be?
A09108Item whether sense and reason, ought not to giue place in this mystery to faith?
A09108Maister Horne, Maister Horne, there are many Churches in Germany, I pray yow vvhich of these Churches are ye of?
A09108Marke now heere gentle reader, what yt is to dispute with these people, that seeke after nothinge but shifts& holes to runne out at, or stipp away?
A09108Nay is not this a goodly ground and head- springe of proofes?
A09108Now heere I vvould aske Iohn Fox what he meaneth by this note; that they were forced to breake of for lacke of tyme?
A09108Num ● ides panem?
A09108Our Lord Iesus Christ doth iestifie vnto vs, that we do receaue his body and bloud, and may we doubt of his creditt or testimony?
A09108Quid paras dentes& ventrem?
A09108S. Cyrill reasoneth thus: VVheras Christ hath said of the bread, this is my body, vvho vvill dare to doubt therof?
A09108The bread which we breake, is yt not a communication of the body of Christ?
A09108The light?
A09108The third was: whether the body and bloud of Christ be vnited to bread Sacramentally?
A09108These are the particularityes vsed by the Fathers for declaring what body they meane; and can there be any more effectuall speaches then these?
A09108These be contraryes, which of two shall we beleeue?
A09108Thou madd- man how dost thou demaund of the power of God, that he should make flesh to be flesh, and not flesh at one tyme?
A09108VVe giue yow place, do vve not?
A09108VVho shall declare forth all his praises?
A09108VVill yow not then proceed in the order appointed yow?

A09108What letteth but that this( of the camell) may be done, yf Gods will be to haue yt so?
A09108Whervnto Doctor Glyn answered: Yow impugne a thinge yow know not: what call yow generation?

A09108and cauil only about the second, vvhether the vvater be turned into wine, or remaine togeather with the wine?
A09108and how then was Ridley persuaded, and not they?
A09108and vvheras he hath said of the wine, this is my bloud, vvho vvill doubt or say yt is not his bloud?
A09108and why?
A09108and yet that Parker replyed, and began his reply with a prayer?

A09108num vinum?
A09108or doth not this reprehension agree fully to Protestants, that haue broken downe more Altars, and chalices, then euer the Donatists did?
A09108or is his aunswere any thinge to the purpose for satisfyinge the Fathers?
A09108or that water& wine do remaine togeather, and that one would pretermit the first questiō, to witt, whether wine be really& truly there or no?
A09108or to prayse that which prouoketh his wrath?
A09108or what reall property of bread doth it leese by this change mencyoned by S. Cyprian?
A09108or what sense can it haue?
A09108or who would haue receaued yt without opposition, yf yt had not byn established euen from the beginninge?
A09108what property of fleshely nature doth your communion bread receaue?
A41592A hard word, and who can endure it; a new word, and who will admit it?
A41592And he adds St. Peter, St. Paul, and all the Apostles are Food, will you conclude from hence, the Apostles were not true Men?
A41592And if it profit not without Faith, how can it profit those who believe not?
A41592And if they believed the Promise, why should they be disquieted at the Institution?
A41592And if this Humiliation, O Lord, I am unworthy, be attributed to any thing but our Saviour there present, how can you excuse it from Idolatrie?
A41592And pray what horror would there be, to eat an Image of Flesh?
A41592And this caused Blandina to say, How could they be guilty of such a heinous eating?
A41592And what Prerogative enjoy you beyond that of an Angel?
A41592And what has the Parable of the Tares to do with the Blessed Sacrament?
A41592And what more unworthy than to believe men in Testimonies they give one of another, and to despise God in those he speaks of himself?
A41592Are you not ashamed of your Sophism?
A41592At vero quisquis ista non credit, Si vidisset Christum in Cruce in specie servi, quomodo Deum illum intelligeret, nisi per fidem prius credidisset?
A41592But can you deny that in those words you alledge from St. Luke, where Christ''s Blood is said to be shed, is contained a mystical Sacrifice?
A41592But do not the foregoing Authorities prove something more, a change not in the Receiver, but in the thing received?
A41592But do you think this Resistance was laudable in the Jews?
A41592But if St. Justin say, The Passover is our Saviour, would you desire a more plain exposition, than the very following words, that is, our Refuge?
A41592But what connexion between Pharao''s Dream, and the change of Bread in the Sacrament?
A41592But what doth this avail your cause?
A41592But what was this Schism?
A41592But whilst I let them enquire one of another, what gave being to these Atoms?
A41592But why did the Church prefer the more difficile sense, when she might have chosen a more facile in appearance?
A41592But why do I say Testimonie, when the Passage you cite, is nothing but a bare Parenthesis?
A41592But why do I say, difficult?
A41592Christ formerly changed Water into Wine; and is he not to be believed, changing Wine into his Blood?
A41592Do not Flesh, Nerves, Bones and Blood, belong to a true Substantial Body?
A41592Do you believe this Opposition was commendable in the Disciples?
A41592Do you believe you receive the Body and Blood of Christ?
A41592Does not this evidence the possibility of Transubstantiation?
A41592Does this favour the Protestants?
A41592Et quem tam amentem esse put as, qui illud quo vescatur, Deum credat esse?
A41592For admitting no Body of Christ in Heaven, how could he pretend a real Body of Christ in the Sacrament?
A41592For how can I solve an Objection which stands instead of a thousand Demonstrations?
A41592For how can this( which was Bread) be Christ''s true Body, and not lose its own substance?
A41592For if God can give a Natural Existence to what is not, can what is, hinder God from adding a Supernatural Existence?
A41592For what more Kind than to give himself?
A41592Had this been so, how easily could sense and reason have unfolded, what appeared difficult?
A41592He tells us what he gives, is his own Body; why will you not believe him?
A41592How can they deny, says he, the Flesh to be capable of the Gift of God?
A41592How could Aristotle pronounce, the matter of Sense was never to be disputed, when''t was always to be pry''d into, and regulated by Reason?
A41592How could they imagine the Lamb changed into God, when they knew, God could not receive the least alteration, I am the Lord, and not chang''d?
A41592How could this be understood of Man?
A41592How do you call these Symbols after consecration?
A41592How often have you been incredulous with the Capharnaits, saying, How can he give us his Flesh?
A41592How often with the unfaithfull Disciples murmured, who can endure this Doctrin?
A41592How then doth the spiritual reception by Faith exclude the substantial Communion of Christ''s Body in St. Austin''s Opinion?
A41592How then is the substance of the Elements not changed, because the Eucharist is a Sacrament, and a Sacrament is a Sign?
A41592How then was he caught in his own Net?
A41592I answer, how can you contradict our Saviour, who says, this is my Body which is broken?
A41592If it profited on the Cross, why does it not profit in the Sacrament?
A41592Is not this a plain repetition of St. Matthew''s words?
A41592Is not this to follow Scripture?
A41592Is then the Doctrin of Transubstantiation not the belief of the Primitive Church, because Diogenes walked before Zeno''s Eyes?
A41592Is this not real Flesh?
A41592Is your Illation stronger, the Eucharist is a Sacrament or Sign, therefore it is not the Substance?
A41592Marcion argues for you, but why did he call Bread his Body, and not something else?
A41592Nor is a pressing Example wanting in the Apostle, to the same purpose; are not they( the Pagans) which eat of the Sacrifices, Partakers of the Altar?
A41592Nor was St. Athanasius''s Interrogation of less force: Are you offended at the newness of the Name?
A41592Not believing what?
A41592Now I examin; Whether Scripture Authorise Transubstantiation?
A41592Now if all this were to be expounded of a Figure, what wresting would there be of this Article?
A41592Now what is this to your purpose?
A41592Of the true Body?
A41592Or rather, how durst you equalize the People with Christ, Sinners with their Saviour, Man with God?
A41592Or rather, to be disturbed at our Saviour''s Ordination and Assertion, Is it not the beginning of Incredulity?
A41592Or would promise what he could not effect?
A41592Patriarcha, Quàm indignum est Humanis Testimoniis de alio credamus, Dei oraculis de se non credamus?
A41592Quid est hoc horribilius?
A41592Quid hoc ergo est?
A41592Si Discipuli patienter ferre nequiverunt quod Dominus Dixit, quomodo ferunt ista increduli?
A41592So does St. Chrysostom; What is the Bread?
A41592So where we read in St. Matthew?
A41592St. Chrysostom adds, We speak of God, and you ask how this can be?
A41592The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ?
A41592The Bread which we break, is it not the* Substance of the Body of Christ?
A41592The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ?
A41592The Divine Son is a Figure of his Father''s Substance: and who can wrest from him the same Substance with his Eternal Father?
A41592The Flesh which suffered for us, and rose again, was it a Figure, or was it true Flesh?
A41592The Question is, What is the thing promised to be given, whether the true Body of Christ or not?
A41592The Question is, what this was?
A41592The Substance is changed; For how could the inward Substance of Bread and Wine pass by Divine operation into Christ''s Body, and not cease to be?
A41592This was seconded with the Complaint of his own Disciples; This is a hard saying, and who can hear it?
A41592Was all England ignorant of the Restauration of our Gracious Monarch; and were there none to be found to witness his coming in?
A41592Was this a piece of Bread, or the true substantial Body of Christ?
A41592What are those Symbols, which the Priest offers to God?
A41592What is contain''d in Baptism, is it not the proper Grace of Adoption?
A41592What is signified or contained is the Mysterie, which is not prejudiced by the foregoing Speech?
A41592What is then this Bread which Christ promised to give in the Sacrament?
A41592What is this( wholsome) remedy?
A41592What more conformable to the Doctrine of Transubstantiation?
A41592What more pressing a figurative understanding of this passage, I am the door?
A41592What then?
A41592Whether will you believe, Nine several Councils, or Berengarius an Apostate, who yet afterwards recanted?
A41592Why does it not appear Flesh to us, but Bread?
A41592Will you acknowledge what this Divine holds and professes?
A41592Yet who dare say this Flesh was not true Flesh, or profited nothing, which redeemed all the World?
A41592You mean the Miracles which were wrought by our Saviour and his Apostles, the Assurance whereof did at first depend upon the certainty of Sense?
A41592and if all had been quiet, would not Vienna have been surprised and pilledged?
A41592do you not tremble at the excess of your Temerity?
A41592for who is carried in his own hands?
A41592how can a Protestant pass into the Roman Catholic Church, and become a pious Member thereof, and not truly cease to be a Protestant?
A41592or affraid of the verity of the Mystery?
A41592or into the Messias, when change of one thing into another supposes both their existences, and the Messias was not yet born?
A41592or what Language speaks of killing the Figure of a Man?
A41592the Prop of this Profoundness?
A41592the Source of this Light?
A41592were not the Tares, as soon as they sprung up, seen and discovered?
A41592what is the Origin of this Silence?
A41592whence came this Verity?
A41592who abstain, upon fasting days from Flesh which may lawfully be eaten?
A41592who thought these Numbers?
A6153218?
A61532And as long as every year the Church judged of the competency of Persons for it?
A61532And how could therebe a Tradition in so much silence?
A61532And if it will not, what a Case is the Church in, under such a pretended Universality?
A61532And if that doth not imply a promise of Grace, then how can it now?
A61532And if this were then part of the Rule of Faith, how could such a Man, who was Professour of Divinity at Tubing be ignorant of it?
A61532And was Confession to a Priest necessary under the Law?
A61532And what is gotten by this?
A61532And what now saith J. W. against all this?
A61532And what would it have signified for him to have said that Christ was sensibly broken and eaten under the Species of Bread and Wine?
A61532And whether these words of our Saviour do imply it?
A61532Boileau hath taken another course, for he saith, this whole Distinction is without ground attributed to Gratian; but how doth he prove it?
A61532But Natalis Alexander thinks there is no binding Power with respect to Baptism; Was there not as to Simon Magus?
A61532But both are Parties, and is not the Councils Judgment to be taken rather than a few Opposers?
A61532But here comes another Question, Who is to be Judge of these?
A61532But how can that be, when he saith, the Form even of those he calls proper Sacraments, was either appointed by our Lord or by the Church?
A61532But how comes my late Book to be made an Example?
A61532But how comes the Canon to be received as of divine Inspiration which was not so received among the Jews?
A61532But how doth it prove that it is a Sacrament upon any other Account, under the Gospel?
A61532But how doth this prove that a man ought to take this particular way?
A61532But how is this consistent with the Saintship of St. Jerom?
A61532But how shall we knew them?
A61532But how should it be of Divine Right in the sense of the Council of Trent, if there be no Command for it?
A61532But how then do they hold the Doctrine and Tradition of true Merit?
A61532But if it be true matter, why is it not so declared?
A61532But if it were no heretical Opinion then, what becomes of Infallible Tradition?
A61532But it seems, I am mistaken here too: How so?
A61532But on what was the Opinion of the Necessity of Seven Sacraments grounded?
A61532But this Office being taken away, the Question now is, whether it were thought necessary to confess privately to any other?
A61532But were not they concerned to know whether it were a Sacrament or not?
A61532But what Catholick Tradition was there for this?
A61532But what Remainders are there in Children, who have not actually sinned, and Original sin is done away already?
A61532But what Scripture?
A61532But what is all this to Catholick Truths not being contained in Scripture either in words or by consequence?
A61532But what is all this to the Tradition of the Church in Gratian''s time?
A61532But what is it to be truly and properly a Sacrament?
A61532But what is there in all this that makes a man guilty of Heresie?
A61532But what is this to the Council of Trent?
A61532But what made the Council of Trent so much concerned for a Scholastick Subtilty?
A61532But what need that if there were a Catholick Tradition then in the Church concerning it, and that inforced by two Popes?
A61532But where is this Catholick Truth to be found?
A61532But where was this Chrism appointed by Christ?
A61532But whether the present Universality dissents from Antiquity, whose Judgment should be sooner taken than its own?
A61532By the Pope, or the Congregation of the Index?
A61532By whom have they been approved?
A61532Can any one hold the Substance to remain, and not to remain at the same time?
A61532Can any thing be more contrary to S. C ● rysostom than this?
A61532Credis non pr ● priis meritis, sed pass ● ● ● ● Domini nostri Jesu Christi virtute& merito ad gloriam pervenire?
A61532Did it not own that the Matters of it were prepared before its Dissolution?
A61532Doth this exclude his contradicting his Predecessours?
A61532For still if it be true Matter of a Sacrament, why was it not so declared?
A61532For then, some might believe Three, others Four, others Five, but how can this prove that all believed just Seven?
A61532For what is the desire of the Penitent to the force of the Sacrament administred by the Priest?
A61532For, if it had been, how could Gregory I. reject the Book of Machabees out of the Canon, when two of his Predecessours took it in?
A61532For, is every Man left to his own Conscience, where he is bound to go to Confession before he partakes of the Eucharist?
A61532He puts the Question himself, why Christ appointed the Form only of Two Sacraments, when all the Grace of the Sacraments comes from him?
A61532He shews from Tertullian, Ambrose and Cyril that the necessary Sacraments are mentioned; but where are the rest?
A61532How can Confession, when it is no visible sign, nor any permanent thing as an Element must be?
A61532How can such Sacraments be of divine Institution, whose very Form is appointed by the Church?
A61532How can that be, if Tradition be a Rule of Faith distinct from it?
A61532How can the Act of the Penitent signifie the Grace conveyed in Absolution?
A61532How can this be consistent with another Rule of Faith distinct from Scripture?
A61532How can this be, if there be another infallible way of conveying the Will of God besides the Scriptures?
A61532How comes the Case to be so much altered from what it was in his Predecessor''s time?
A61532How comes the Doctrine condemned in Wickliff to be established in the Council of Trent?
A61532How much is the Faith of the Church changed?
A61532How then came the Originals to be turned into the common Language?
A61532How then can Contrition make up any part of the Matter of a Sacrament, when it is not external?
A61532How then can Tradition be a Rule of Faith equal with Scriptures, which depends upon the Testimony of Persons who are so very fallible?
A61532How then can it be necessary to embrace another Rule of Faith, when all things necessary to Salvation are sufficiently contained in Scripture?
A61532How then can they pretend any similitude between their Confession and the ancient Exomologesis?
A61532How then can those words prove it necessary under the Gospel?
A61532How then can we imagine that such Translations should not onely be allowed but approved among them?
A61532How then comes Bellarmin to insist so much on the Answer of Jeremias?
A61532If S. Jerom were so mistaken( which it is very hard to believe) how came Ruffinus not to observe his errours and opposition to the Church?
A61532If all the publick Discipline had been laid aside so long before, to what purpose do those Bishops speak of them, as if they were still in force?
A61532If it were their own Language they might well understand it; but why should not the Scripture now be in a Language they may understand?
A61532If the Scripture were intended for all, how comes a Prohibition of the use of it?
A61532If the whole Will of God were to be known by the Scripture, how could part of it be preserved in an unwritten Tradition?
A61532If there be no proportion or equality on Man''s part, no Justice on God''s part to reward, how can they possibly be meritorious?
A61532In what Manner the Body of Christ is made to be present in the Sacrament?
A61532Is not true matter necessary to a true Sacrament?
A61532It is true, that he doth speak of some such; but was it for sins of thought against the tenth Command?
A61532It seems then there was a division in the Council about it; but how could that be if there were a Catholick Tradition about this Rule of Faith?
A61532Nay, how came Ruffinus himself to fall into the very same prodigious mistake?
A61532Now if this were a Catholick Tradition, how was it possible for the Fathers of the Council to divide about it?
A61532Or was S. Jerom''s Judgment above the Pope''s?
A61532Or with common discretion if the Church did receive those Books for Canonical?
A61532Or, as the Guide admirably saith, If the present Universality be its own Judge, when can we think it will witness its departure from the true Faith?
A61532Q. Dost thou believe that thou shalt come to Heaven, not by thy own Merits, but by the virtue and Merit of Christ''s Passion?
A61532Quasi materia: What is this quasi materia?
A61532That is not said; nor if it were would it signifie any thing; for doth any imaginary holiness of the Tongue sanctifie ignorant Devotion?
A61532The Glosser there saith, Whence comes this consequence?
A61532The Matter is the external or sensible Sign; and what is that in this New Sacrament?
A61532The Roman Correctors could not bear this; and say in the Margin, immo confert; this is plain contradicting; but how is it proved from the Canon Law?
A61532The great Question among us, is, Where the true ancient Faith is; and how we may come to find it out?
A61532The main Point in this Debate is, whether true contrition be required to Absolution or not?
A61532The present Guides of the Catholick Church?
A61532These are good Arguments against himself for how can such Acts then become meritorious without a Promise?
A61532To what purpose then are all those Rules?
A61532To what purpose then are we told of some modern Translations, as long as the use of them is forbidden by the Pope''s Authority?
A61532Was not this a way to know the Tradition of the Church by the Offices used in it?
A61532Was the Western Church agreed before or after about this matter?
A61532What Church doth he mean?
A61532What Scripture, what Fathers, what Tradition was there, before Peter Lombard, for just that number?
A61532What Tradition did appear then for another Rule of Faith in the 14th Century?
A61532What Universal Tradition then had the Council of Trent to rely upon in this matter?
A61532What a mockery, were this, if there were no Publick Discipline then left?
A61532What account can be given of this matter?
A61532What hath the Priest then to do, but to declare him reconciled?
A61532What if Rupertus thought the Bread might become the Real Body of Christ by an Union of the Word to it?
A61532What now follows from hence?
A61532What now is the Reason, that such Questions and Answers were no longer permitted, if the Churches Tradition continued still the same?
A61532What then?
A61532What was the matter?
A61532When all the Cano ● ists, according to Almain, and some of the Divines, opposed it?
A61532Whether the Words of Consecration are to be understood in a Speculative or Practical Sense?
A61532While the rest were anointing, one of the Priests was to pray, pristinam& immelioratam recipere merearis sanitatem; what was this but bodily health?
A61532Why not, are the matter?
A61532Why so?
A61532Why so?
A61532Why such a term of Diminution added, as all men must understand it, who compare it with the expressions about the other Sacraments?
A61532Will they condemn themselves?
A61532Wilt thou teach the People by Word and Example, the things which thou learnest out of holy Scriptures?
A61532against a Catholick Tradition?
A61532how can satisfaction be any part of the Sacrament, which may be done when the Effect of the Sacrament is over in Absolution?
A61532in continual Confession of her sin?
A61532more than in the time of Methodius and Cyril?
A61532to confirm matters of Faith?
A61532unless it be first proved, that it is necessary to Salvation to receive an unwritten Rule of Faith, as well as a written?
A615501. relates to any thing beyond the beginning of the Gospel, and that Christ the Word, was before John the Baptists Preaching?
A6155010. from the 30. to the 39?
A61550And I only desire to know whether you think the Evidence of Sense sufficient, as to the true Body of Christ, where it is supposed to be present?
A61550And I pray what follows?
A61550And I pray, into what would you resolve it?
A61550And I pray, now tell me seriously, did the Tradition of Transubstantiation lie unquestion''d and quiet all this while?
A61550And did you know the difference between the Substance of Flesh and Fish by your Tast?
A61550And hath God revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity to the Church in this Age?
A61550And is it not rather a justification of that sense, which they took his words in?
A61550And what then?
A61550And why may not St. Chrysostom mean so here?
A61550And why not as well in any other?
A61550Are there not strange things in them concerning the Eucharist?
A61550Are those Accidents then the Body of Christ?
A61550Are you in earnest?
A61550Are you sure that Origen said this?
A61550As for instance, can we not know a Man from a Horse, or an Elephant from a Mouse, or a piece of Bread from a Church?
A61550As to what?
A61550But I pray tell me, do you think the Fathers had no distinct Notion of a Body and Spirit, and the Essential Properties of both?
A61550But I pray, Sir, what say you to what I have been discoursing?
A61550But are there no other things impossible to be done?
A61550But can we not know the difference of one Substance from another, by our Senses?
A61550But doth this prove, that the Substance of the Bread is changed into the Substance of Christ''s Body?
A61550But how is it possible for you to know it was so well known, if they spake not of it?
A61550But how should we know their Faith but by their Works?
A61550But is it not impossible for the same Body to be in two different times?
A61550But is there any Greatness like that of Divine Honour?
A61550But may not God advance a mere Creature to that Dignity, as to require Divine Worship to be given to him by his fellow- creatures?
A61550But still how shall it be known that the Church received this Doctrine unanimously, if they do not speak expresly of it?
A61550But suppose he did, must he enter with his flesh and bones, and not much rather by a peculiar presence of his Grace?
A61550But suppose the Question be, about the Sense of these places which relate to the Churches Authority, how can a Man come to the certain Sense of them?
A61550But that is not discerned by the Senses, he saith: and if it were, will he say, that the Substance of Bread is the Body of Christ?
A61550But to make this more plain, Do you make any difference between Nature and Person?
A61550But what if there be as great a repugnancy from St. Augustin''s Argument, for a Body to be present in several places at once?
A61550But what is all this to the Testimony of the Christian Fathers?
A61550But what is this to the Eucharist, you may say?
A61550But what saith he?
A61550But whence come you to know that the Church is to give the Sense of the Scriptures?
A61550But where doth that speak of Transubstantiation?
A61550But, doth this prove that there is no Unity of Nature between the Father and the Son?
A61550Can you hold your Countenance when you repeat these things?
A61550Did you not tell me, you would avoid Impertinencies?
A61550Do not all things comprehend the Heaven and Earth?
A61550Do not you know, that these are rejected as Supposititious, by your own Writers?
A61550Do not you see already?
A61550Do we deny the truth of Christ''s Human Nature?
A61550Do we live among nothing but Accidents?
A61550Do you believe that there are any Mysteries in the Christian Doctrine above Reason, or not?
A61550Do you mean the same which the Church of Rome doth by it, in the Council of Trent?
A61550Do you not say so in plain terms?
A61550Do you then in earnest give up the Fathers as Disputants to us; but retain them as Believers to your selves?
A61550Do you think Bellarmin could produce any thing like this for Transubstantiation?
A61550Do you think I should not presently deny your Example, and say, your very Supposition is Heretical?
A61550Do you think all hard words are akin, and so the affinity rises between Apollinarists and Transubstantiation?
A61550Do you think one Creature can create another?
A61550Do you think that Irenoeus believed the substance of Christ''s Body was turned into the substance of our Bodies, in order to their nourishment?
A61550Doth Irenoeus say so?
A61550Doth not the Scripture say, there are some things impossible for God to do?
A61550Doth this look like correcting a dangerous mistake in the Jews?
A61550Expresly against it?
A61550For I pray what doth he mean when he saith, he believes from Christ''s own Words, that it is the Body of Christ?
A61550For, how is it possible for extended Parts to have no Relation to Place?
A61550God or the Church?
A61550Have I not hitherto owned, that there must be something incomprehensible by us, in what relates to the Divine Nature?
A61550Have a little Patience; Did not Christ design by his Doctrine to root out those false Religions?
A61550Have you observed what the Fathers say about the difference of Body and Spirit?
A61550How can this hold, if the Body of Christ can be in Heaven and Earth at the same time?
A61550How can those men want Proofs, that can draw Transubstantiation from these Words, which are so plain against it?
A61550How doth it appear?
A61550How doth that appear?
A61550How then can the Creation prove an Infinite Power?
A61550I hope you allow his Epistles?
A61550I pray answer me one Question, Did you ever keep Lent?
A61550I pray tell me what you mean by a Body, as it is opposed to a Spirit?
A61550I pray tell me, Were there not false Religions in the World when Christ came into it to plant the true Religion?
A61550I pray tell me, doth the difference between God and his Creatures, depend on the will of the Church?
A61550I pray tell me, have you any certainty there is such a thing as a material Substance in the World?
A61550If so be then it appears more difficult in an infinite and incomprehensible Being, what Cause have we to wonder at it?
A61550If the Question be, how the same individual Nature can be communicated to three distinct Persons?
A61550If this were the same, what need any distinction?
A61550Into no Reason?
A61550Is it from the Scripture, or not?
A61550Is it lawful by the Christian Doctrine to give proper Divine Worship to a Creature?
A61550Is it not as repugnant for a Body to be after the manner of a Spirit, as for a Body and Spirit to be the same?
A61550Is it not more wonderful, as Bellarmin observes, that there should be one Hypostasis in two Natures, than one Body in two Places?
A61550Is it the Accidents he speaks of before?
A61550Is it the Substance of Bread?
A61550Is it then in the Churches Power to give that to a Creature, which belongs only to God?
A61550Is not here one Sense more than you believe?
A61550Is that your meaning?
A61550Is there a perpetual Miracle to deceive our Senses?
A61550Is there any real difference between the Nature of a Body and Spirit?
A61550Is there no difference between the Perception of Sense, and the Evidence of Sense?
A61550Is there not the same Repugnancy for a Body in Heaven to be upon Earth, as for a Body upon Earth to be in Heaven?
A61550Is this it which chokes your Reason, so that you can not swallow the Doctrine of the Church in this matter?
A61550Is this possible to be reconciled with your Notion of a Body being present after the manner of a Spirit?
A61550Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, I said ye are Gods?
A61550No?
A61550Nothing more, but that St. Augustin disproved it, because his Body could not be at the same time in the Sun and Moon, and upon Earth?
A61550Or can we know nothing beyond them?
A61550P. All this proceeds upon the old Philosophy of Accidents: What if there be none at all?
A61550P. And what do you infer from hence?
A61550P. And what now would you infer from hence?
A61550P. And what of all this?
A61550P. And what then?
A61550P. Are not the Divine Persons Infinite, as well as the Divine Nature?
A61550P. But doth not Tertullian say afterwards, That the Bread was the figure of Christ''s body in the Old Testament?
A61550P. But if the Three Persons be Coëternal, how is it possible to conceive there should not be three Eternals?
A61550P. But was not Theodoret a Man of suspected Faith in ● he Church?
A61550P. But what is it which makes one not to be the other, when they have the same common Nature?
A61550P. But what say you to the Athanasian Creed; is not that repugnant to humane Reason?
A61550P. But what say you to the damning all those who do not believe it, in the beginning and end of it?
A61550P. But what will you do with it now you have it?
A61550P. But where is it, that such Divine Worship is required to be given to Christ in Scripture?
A61550P. Doth not Tertullian say, That it had not been the Figure, unless it had been the Truth?
A61550P. Have not learned and acute Men doubted of the Divinity of Christ, as of Transubstantiation?
A61550P. Have you any more that talk at this rate?
A61550P. How can there be an Union possible, between two Beings infinitely distant from each other?
A61550P. How do you make that appear?
A61550P. How is that?
A61550P. Is it not said elsewhere, That he that keepeth his Commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him?
A61550P. May not God communicate his own Worship to him?
A61550P. Methink you are very long upon this Argument; when shall we have done at this rate?
A61550P. That is strange: Is not the Church often spoken of in Scripture?
A61550P. That must be tried; What say you to Ignatius?
A61550P. The Substance?
A61550P. Then you think the Trinity can be proved from Scripture?
A61550P. What a strange Question is this?
A61550P. What are they?
A61550P. What can we mean else?
A61550P. What do you mean?
A61550P. What doth all this signify, but that the Authority of the Church must determine whether there be two Natures, or two Persons in Christ?
A61550P. What follows?
A61550P. What have we been about all this while?
A61550P. What have we to do with the Apollinarists?
A61550P. What means all this ado before you come to the Point?
A61550P. What of all that?
A61550P. What say you then to the Mystery of the Incarnation?
A61550P. What say you to Eusebius Emesenus?
A61550P. What say you to St. Cyprian de Coena Domini?
A61550P. What think you of the Acts of St. Andrew, and what he saith therein, about eating the Flesh of Christ?
A61550P. What would you draw from hence?
A61550P. Wherein I pray, did that Heresy consist?
A61550P. Who doubts of that?
A61550P. Who were they?
A61550P. Why do you suspect me before I begin?
A61550P. Why not?
A61550P. Why not?
A61550P. Why not?
A61550P. Why not?
A61550P. Why; what is the matter?
A61550P. Will not you let a Man shew a little Jewish Learning upon occasion?
A61550P. Yes; but how far is this from the business?
A61550Sclater, Edward, 1623- 1699?
A61550Suppose now we grant all this, that there is an incomprehensible Mystery in the Incarnation, what follows from thence?
A61550That the substance of the Elements is gone: Where lies the Consequence?
A61550Then why may not the greatest Body be within the least?
A61550Then you have an extraordinary Tast, which goes to the very Substance?
A61550This is the utmost your Cause will bear; but I pray tell me, Is there any such thing as a Repugnancy in the Nature of things or not?
A61550VVho could possibly understand this of the old Creation?
A61550Was it the Substance of Flesh you abstained from, or only the Accidents of it?
A61550Was this Argument of the Apostle good or not?
A61550Was this indeed your meaning?
A61550Was this possible or not?
A61550Were the Gentiles guilty of Idolatry in that respect, or not?
A61550What Comfort will that be to you, when you are called to an account for your self?
A61550What Texts do you mean?
A61550What again?
A61550What do you mean by Gods Instrument in the Creation?
A61550What do you prove from this place?
A61550What if you do not hear his Voice, do you not see him lying before you?
A61550What if you had been to dispute with Nestorius and Eutyches?
A61550What is it, I pray, to believe?
A61550What is this It?
A61550What is this to Transubstantiation?
A61550What say you to a Pope, whom you account Head of the Church?
A61550What then is to be said to such expressions of S. Chrysostom?
A61550What then makes the same Impression on our Senses when the Substance is gone, as when it was there?
A61550What then?
A61550What think you now of the Proofs of the Trinity in Scripture?
A61550What think you of making the time past not to be past?
A61550What think you of the Manichees Doctrine, who held that Christ was in the Sun and Moon when he suffered on the Cross?
A61550What think you of this?
A61550What think you then of St. Augustin, who makes it impossible for a Body to be without its Dimensions and Extension of Parts?
A61550Whence comes the certainty of the Substance, since your Senses can not discover it?
A61550Wherein did this Inconsistency lie?
A61550Wherein lies it?
A61550Wherein lies it?
A61550Wherein lies the nature of that which you call proper Divine Worship?
A61550Which have run much in my Mind: For if the holy Spirit instruct us, what need is there of an Infallible Church?
A61550Who doubts but there are other sorts of Unities, besides that of Nature?
A61550Who then is to be judg what belongs to God, and what not?
A61550Who was there that opposed things before they were thought of?
A61550Why may not an Elephant be caught in a Mouse- trap, and a Rhinoceros be put into a Snuff- box?
A61550Why not as to the Trinity, which to my understanding, is much plainer there, than the Churches Authority?
A61550Why not then in two or more different Places; since a Body is as certainly confined, as to Place, as it is to Time?
A61550Will you make the Power of God to change the Essential Properties of things, while the things themselves remain in their true Nature?
A61550Will you promise to hold close to the Argument your self?
A61550Will you prove that?
A61550Will you undertake to explain that to me?
A61550With Coccius or Bellarmin, you mean; but before you produce them, I pray tell me what you intend to prove by them?
A61550Without any Reason?
A61550Would you hence infer an Unity of Nature between Christ and Believers?
A61550You put very odd Figures upon Tertullian: I appeal to any reasonable man, whether by the latter words he doth not explain the former?
A61550but where is the Second?
A61550that a Man''s Head, and Shoulders, and Arms, should be contained entire and distinct under the Nail of his little Finger?
A61550the Homilies on Philogonius and the Cross?
A61550there are such and such Accidents belong to every one of these; but our Senses are not so extraprdinary to discover the Substances under them?
A01532& c. Quid laborat intellectus, vbi magister est aspectus?
A01532( And is it not as impossible then, for one to bee in two places at once?)
A01532( And why not as impossible for one subiect to haue diverse accidents, as diuerse seates, sites, qualities, and quantities at once?
A01532* Quasi ad singulos quosque cunctantes adhuc voc ● corporea vtatur& dicat, Quid turbati estis?

A0153261. as Chrysostome vnderstandeth him, when hee saith, Doth this scandalize you?
A01532An ignoras nudum nec à decem palaestritis despoliari posse?
A01532And againe hauing demanded, Why is that holy housell then called Christs body and his blood, if it be not truely that that it is called?
A01532And againe, what is there in Iustines relation, that is not found in our Protestanticall( as he tearmeth it) communion?
A01532And doe not all Sacraments the same?
A01532And doe they not say the same of Baptisme, and of all mysteries or Sacraments in general?
A01532And doe you beleeue that you are made partaeker of Christs body and blood?
A01532And doth not the Apostle say as much of the ministery of the word; that m no man is sufficient, or n worthy enough for such a worke?
A01532And doth not their Cyril( as before you heard) deny the oyle also after it is consecrate, to be any more l common oyle?
A01532And doth the Priest then offer nothing to God but accidents onely?
A01532And how call you the juice of the fruite of the Vine?
A01532And how did they then eate and drinke Christ, but spiritually by faith, and loue, and doing his wordes?
A01532And how is this then the very same with that, when it is in an vnbloody manner performed?
A01532And if he had had any thing of moment to say against this our exposition, why did hee not then produce it, where the place was discussed?
A01532And is there any such foode or fruit at all that is no physicall substance, or that consisteth of e meere accidents?
A01532And say not we as much?
A01532And was not the morsel that Christ gaue Iudas, poison to Iudas that tooke it?
A01532And what is this but to say that all that doe truly beleeue in Christ are not saued?
A01532And what is this more then wee also say?
A01532And what is this, but the very same that we say?
A01532And what of all this?
A01532And what should hinder but that remaining so, they should retaine still their old names?
A01532And when the same Christ confirmeth and saith, This is my Blood, who can doubt, and say it is not his blood?
A01532And who is so impious, say I, as to eate thus that which he thinketh to be God?
A01532And who saith they do?
A01532And why doe they so?
A01532And why must the blessing then of necessity import such a change more in the one Sacrament then in the other?
A01532And why so?
A01532And why so?
A01532And why there?
A01532And will they not beleeue what the Apostle saith, or what Christ saith?
A01532And yet if it were Christ, to whom should he direct his speech more fitly then to it?
A01532And yet what is more common among them then s by Comparisons and similitudes to shew how in one nature there may be a plurality of persons?
A01532And yet who euer dreamed therefore of any such Transubstantiation in Baptisme?
A01532Are Christs body and blood those temporall gifts and good things, that God by Christ daily createth and quickeneth?
A01532But I demand how it appeareth that Gregorie that sent Austin, held Transubstantiation?
A01532But after sanctification how doe you call them?
A01532But dare any say that his Disciples were so prophane as to baptise without blessing?
A01532But doth Augustine tell vs that wee must not beleeue that there is bread there, though our eyes informe vs, that there is?
A01532But followeth it thence that I hold the thing it selfe for the manner of effecting it to haue no difficulty at all in it?
A01532But how doth he proue it?
A01532But how doth this follow; The Apostle doth so there: therefore our Sauiour doth so heere?
A01532But how doth this trister prooue that he was not Bishop of Rome?
A01532But how prooueth this that Christ therefore spake there of a sacramentall eating of it?
A01532But if wee respect that that is intended in them, who seeth not that it can not be corrupted?
A01532But is hee come to that now, Christ is spiritually in the Sacrament?
A01532But must it needes bee corporall; or else it is none at all?
A01532But what speake I of two Bodies?
A01532But what take I so much paines g to set vp a light when the Sun shines?
A01532But where is it then?
A01532But where is ought in the Text that inti nateth this miraculous conuersion?
A01532But who is hee then, saith Baronius?
A01532But who seeth not what a silly and senselesse consequence this is?
A01532But yet will you see another as grosse as the former?
A01532By telling vs that Christs glorified bodie is incapable of renting: which if it be so, how saith Pope Nicholas that it is torne in pieces?
A01532Can any thing be more plaine?
A01532Did any man euer before heare of a body without bignesse?
A01532Did any man in his right wits( thinke wee) euer expound Scripture on this manner?
A01532Did euer man( thinke we) either sober or in his right wits thus reason?
A01532Did hee thinke that any one not voyd of common sense would not soone see this?
A01532Did hee thinke that his Reader would not cast an eye on them, whem they were verbatim set downe before him?
A01532Did this fellow( thinke we) vnderstand what he said?
A01532Did this man thinke that these things would euer be examined?
A01532Doe not the ancient Fathers hold the Trinitie an vnsearchable mysterie?
A01532Doe not very many of their owne writers herein agree with vs?
A01532Doe the Fathers tell vs that in this holy Mystery we must not so much regard what our sense informeth vs, as what our faith apprehendeth?
A01532Doe we alone thus expound that place?
A01532Doe you not know that God called his body Bread?
A01532Else how doth the substance of the one passe into the substance of the other?
A01532For commenting on those words, h Wherein doe we pollute thee?
A01532For first, Are they diuerse gifts that God the Father had giuen and that Christ would giue?
A01532For how can hee be contained in that that is not?
A01532For how can that passe into it, that is not at all?
A01532For how is it not annihilated, if nothing remaine of it?
A01532For must we not beleeue the Apostle as well as Christ?
A01532For what are Signes and Sacraments but reall parables?
A01532For what is a body made of bread but a breaden Body?
A01532For what is a body of bread( as was said before) but a breaden body, as a pot of earth, an earthen pot, a dish of wood, a wooddendish?
A01532For what wonder is it for a man to eate one thing thinking vpon another; bread( for example) remembring our Saviours passion?
A01532For when some of them that heard it, murmured, our Sauiour said, t Doth this scandalize you?
A01532For who but a babbling ignorant Person would as he doth there, make such an inference?
A01532For who is carried in his owne hands?
A01532For, a If we regard those visible things( saith Augustine) wherewith we administer the Sacraments, who knoweth not that they are corruptible?
A01532He saith that the mysteries of Christ are most admirable and inscrutable: and who denieth it?
A01532How can I stretch mine hand to Heauen, there to lay hold on him?
A01532How farre is this carnall, poore, vnlearned man from the holy Fathers spirit and doctrine, as I haue formerly cited their assertions?
A01532How hang these things together?
A01532How is he in bread where no bread is?
A01532How is it then that their S. Clement giueth S. Iames such charge as you heard before of it, least some foule abuse befall Christs body?
A01532How many toyes are there in theirs that are not touched at all in Iustine?
A01532How much more, when so many of all sorts, of so speciall repute, shall so vniformely speake for vs, and herein accord with vs?
A01532How prooueth hee that these Fathers so expound that place?
A01532How stand now these speeches and prayers with their Transubstantiation?
A01532I might with Aug. well in a word answer this Question: How( saith he) shall I hold Christ when he is not here?
A01532If Christs body bee in an indiuisible manner there, what is it that is there broken?
A01532If Christs very blood bee poured out in it, how is it an vnbloody offering?
A01532If corporally, why doth this fellow sticke at it, and is so loath to acknowledge it?
A01532If hee be hid there, how saith Bellarmine, that o hee is there visibly vpon the board?
A01532If it may be said to haue beene of bread, why may it not be said that once it was bread?
A01532If no bread bee left in the Eucharist, how said hee before, that Christ is there contained in bread; and that the ancient Fathers so affirme?
A01532If spiritually onely, why vrge they those passages of Iohn 6. to prooue 〈 … 〉 corporall and bodily manducation of Christs body in the Eucharist?
A01532If the Sacrament of the Altar bee but bare bread and wine, why doest thou so absurdly speake and blasphemously praey vnto it, in this manner?
A01532If the whole substance of it be destroyed so that nothing remaineth of it, how doth the whole substance of it passe( as hee saith) into Christs body?
A01532Is Christs humanity then turned into his Deitie?
A01532Is it not abused when the drunken Priest speweth it vp againe?
A01532Is this Sacrifice of theirs a repetition of Christs sacrifice?
A01532It is true that some Heretickes; yet not the Eutychians( how should they argue against Christs Deitie, that held his humanity wholly turned into it?)
A01532It is true that you say: But why did he thus change the Names?
A01532No: He telleth vs expressely, that there is bread there, as our eyes doe informe vs. And what can be more euidently or plainely spoken?
A01532No?
A01532Nonne buccella Dominica venenum fuit Iudae?
A01532Now 1. what is this to mine Argument?
A01532Now how doth the Orthodoxe disputer answer this?
A01532Now what do the ancient Fathers hereunto answer?
A01532Now what is here spoken but of Mysteries or Sacraments in generall, applied after in particular, as well to Baptisme as to the Eucharist?
A01532Now where is there here any mention of an Host?
A01532Now who( I pray you) doubteth of, or denyeth ought that is here said?
A01532Of a body that is truly?
A01532Or any Angell to cary him vp and present him before his Father in heauen, in whose presence and sight he is continually there?
A01532Or can he tell me, how our Sauiours body went out of his Sepulcher, without remoouing that huge stone, rolled afterward by the Angell from it?
A01532Or do those of theirs build onely vpon the clause he here mentioneth?
A01532Or doth not Baptisme the like?
A01532Or hath c Christ now assumed the nature of Angels, and so is now become a Spirit?
A01532Or how doth Pope Nicholas tel vs that Christs y body it selfe is sensually broken?
A01532Or how he pierced the solide and huge Orbes of heauen in his ascension without making any hole in them?
A01532Or how hee entred the house, the doores being and remayning still shut vpon his disciples; as for a great miracle the Euangelist recounted?
A01532Or how is hee h yet present with his faithfull ones, but that hee is infinite and true God?
A01532Or how is not this a riddle?
A01532Or how is there no bread there, where in bread the Sonne of God is( as he telleth vs) conteined?
A01532Or how saith hee a little after that Christ, as a louing Spouse, doth there visitt and imbrace vs?
A01532Or is his credit so meane already that he need not feare to bee discredited, that hee dare vse such sorry shifts as these are?
A01532Or is it not absurd to place u Abels fatlings and x Abrahams Ramme in equipage with the body and blood of Christ Iesus?
A01532Or is it not abused, when it is burnt by them and vsed like an Hereticke?
A01532Or may not the same truly be said of the Sacrament of Baptisme, and the administration of it?
A01532Or may we not say truly as the Auncients also oft doe?
A01532Or needeth Christ the Priest to entreate his Father to looke propitiously vpon him?
A01532Or what did our Sauiour breake at his last Supper?
A01532Or what is this tothe purpose?
A01532Or when it is deuoured and swallowed downe by mice and rats?
A01532Or who would be so absurd as to say, I giue you my selfe to be a memoriall of my selfe?
A01532Perhaps thou wilt say; I see another thing: How prooue you to me, that I take the bodie of Christ?

A01532What is become( I maruell) of that carnall and corporall presence then, that they prate so much of?
A01532What is it then, that( as Origen speaketh) goeth into the draught?

A01532Will you see how grosse and palpable this euasion is?
A01532Would any man that had either braines in his head, or wit in his braine, answer in this manner, or reason on this wise?
A01532Yea but he acknowledgeth the holy seruice then and there to be performed, to be too worthy for him to deale with?
A01532Yea or thus either?
A01532Yea so Gregory of Valence, My flesh that I will giue, p that is, that I will offer for the life of the world: Where( thinke we) but on the Crosse?
A01532Yea, is Christs body it self impassible?
A01532Yea, is it bread when it is broken?

A01532and checke vs for n belying them when we say that any such thing is maintained by them?
A01532and for want whereof they so much vilifie the Protestantical Cōmunion?
A01532and is it not bread when it is eaten?
A01532and the bread which we breake, is it not the communication of Christs body?

A01532or by what nec ● ssity of consequence doth the one follow from the other?
A01532or how is it the very same with Christs sacrifice on the Crosse, if it bee not it, but a memoriall of it onely?
A01532or how scapeth the Priest from being a destroier of Christ?
A01532or making any speech at all to it?
A01532or must a bald, yea a Baals Priests blessing of bread at this day be needes more effectuall then their blessing of water then was?
A01532or must we not beleeue Christ as well in one place as in an other?
A01532or of one that is not truly?
A01532or that in the Church of Rome it was then held?

A01532r Do you not know that the Lord called himselfe a Vine?
A01532r Now how deny they the flesh to be capable of life eternall, that is nourished with Christs body and blood?

A01532which part of my Syllogisme( I pray you) is this Answer applied to?

A6614289. Who was it but the true God for whom Elijah appear''d so zealous?
A66142A modest Enquiry, Whether S. Peter were ever at Rome, and Bishop of that Church?
A66142After what manner it is that the Church of Rome prays to God through the Merits of Her Saints?
A66142Ages since, of the Virgin Mary, whose very Body he sees the Priest about to make now before his Eyes?
A66142An Answer to the Question, Where was your Church before Luther?
A66142And I desire Monsieur de Meaux to tell us, who ever said or thought they did?
A66142And I once more Appeal to your own Conscience, whether you never read in Monsieur de la B''s?
A66142And are not these now rare Follies for a Man to force us to publish whether we will or no?
A66142And can you in Conscience say that they RETURN''D PEACEABLY TO YOU?
A66142And can you not be quiet, without bringing the best Wits of the Nation, and F. Warner, a Jesuit, upon your head?
A66142And does not St. Paul urge this very consideration against the Athenian Idolatry?
A66142And has he not but very lately sent a † † † † † † Universal Indulgence throughout their whole Church?
A66142And here who can chuse but admire the Power of Truth?
A66142And if we may, how will you justifie your self from being grosly uncharitable in thus insinuating upon so slender a ground, that we are not?
A66142And indeed was there ever less reason to believe his Remedies, than in this Case there is to Credit your Pretences?
A66142And is not the Divine Nature as excellent now, and as much debased by yours, as ever it was by their Representations of it?
A66142And is not, WE SUPPOSE, as conformable to the design of an Exposition, and as little fit for a proof, as WE BELIEVE?
A66142And is this then in your Opinion such daring Doctrine?
A66142And many Centuries pass without One probable Instance of any that did it?
A66142And might I not say the same of the other Ministers his Brethren in your Diocess, were I as well acquainted with their Conditions?
A66142And now let any reasonable man consider what a pitifull Vindication is this, to support so much Clamour and confidence?
A66142And that no one can come to the Father but by him?
A66142And that the Homilies contain''d a wholsome and Godly Doctrine, which in their Consciences they believed to be false and pernicious?
A66142And therefore the holy Gospel has herein armed us before hand; our Lord himself saying, Woman, what have I to do with thee?
A66142And upon what unchristian foundations the benefit of this practise is established by you?
A66142And was I not horribly to blame, to call such fine Notions, Reveries?
A66142And was there nothing of Violence in all this?
A66142And were you not resolved utterly to confound us, when you alledged such Proof out of Holy Scripture as this?
A66142And what has your Lordship now to except against this?
A66142And what more unreasonable and foolish, than to call our desires of each others Prayers by such Titles as these?
A66142And what shall I say more?
A66142And when they farther ask''d him, How then he had written so copiously and learnedly about it?
A66142And when we saw our Error, alter''d our Opinion?
A66142And who can tell, what Time and Changes may one day bring forth?
A66142And why is not the Blood of Christ which cleanses the greatest Sins, a sufficient Purgatory for the least Infirmities?
A66142And why shall we not hope that this in time shall be the issue?
A66142And why shall we think St. Chrysostome the only ridiculous man, to use such a Phrase as no man in the World ever did, or would have done besides?
A66142And will you yet say there has been nothing of Violence in your Diocess?
A66142And yet after all, Has no one, my Lord, even of these, suffered Violence either in his Person or Goods?
A66142And yet what should he do?
A66142Are my interests in the Church of England so great, or my expectations otherwise so low in the World; as to prompt me to such Villany?
A66142Are not the Incarnation, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of our Lord, the most Fundamental Articles of our Faith?
A66142Are not these, Sir, weighty Arguments?
A66142Are not these, my Lord, almost the very words of your Exposition?
A66142Are our Lives so scandalous, or our Writings so destitute of all sense of Religion, as to speak us to be govern''d only by Malice and Int ● rest?
A66142Are we stronger than He?
A66142Are ye yet, or ever like to be agreed among your selves about it?
A66142As to the main foundation of all Whether the Saints hear your prayers?
A66142As to your Question, why we dedicate our Churches to God?
A66142At quis nostrum hoc dicit?
A66142But 2dly, Be the Sins, as they desire, Venial; how do''s it from hence follow, that it is necessary that these be punish''d in another Life?
A66142But 2dly, What have we here to do with the Remission of Sins?
A66142But are not these Abuses still cherish''d in his Church?
A66142But can any one Imagine, that the Church when in Grots and Caverns should teach one thing, and when it came into the light practise another?
A66142But did not those Fathers do somewhat more than this?
A66142But did you never make such an impression, though you did not, nor do not yet care to own it?
A66142But does any one add, This is my Body, fall down and Worship it?
A66142But does this therefore reduce all the Prayers you make to the Saints, in whatever Terms they are conceived, to this One Form, PRAY FOR US?
A66142But have you any thing to excuse you, if you are mistaken?
A66142But how then will you clear your self?
A66142But if the Question be, Whether the Charge of Idolatry, as it is managed by us against the Church of Rome, may not be apt to cause any such mischief?
A66142But if you can not dispense with these things for our common Conversion, how shall we believe that you can do it to satisfie a private Proselyte?
A66142But is he sure the Bishop meant so?
A66142But is there any thing of this in the Primitive Rituals?
A66142But is this all that is implied in the Act of calling upon them to pray for us?
A66142But may not God forgive the Guilt as to the Obligation it lays upon us to Eternal punishment, and yet retain it as to a Temporal one?
A66142But now if our Author will not allow this to be good arguing against them, with what reason do''s he go about to urge it against us?
A66142But now what is all this, to your praying to God to hear you by the Merits of the Saints?
A66142But now wherein did it consist?
A66142But pray, Sir, where is the necessity, that because we have not so much Ceremony as you, we must be further estranged from Devotion too?
A66142But still how does this appear?
A66142But this is perfectly to astonish us, and too plainly shews that some mens assurance is without bounds, as well as without reason: For what?
A66142But were these Oblations to deliver them out of Purgatory?
A66142But what at last did this Persecution amount to?
A66142But what can be done to Men that are obstinately bent to serve a Cause?
A66142But what if I had made some Additions to a printed Impressions?
A66142But what if St. James''s word be****** general, and may very well be extended to all these?
A66142But what is this Other Manner?
A66142But what now does our Catholick Expositor say to all this?
A66142But what now is the Matter?
A66142But what now is this shifting?
A66142But what then is it that this Historian designed?
A66142But what then means the Council of Trent, to tell us, That we are not only to honour them, but to worship them too?
A66142But where is there any mention of any thing of this kind either threatned or done in another Life?
A66142But where then is my unsincerity?
A66142But where then is the Misrepresentation?
A66142But why do I thus long insist upon Probabilities?
A66142But yet notwithstanding all this, Do not some of our Writers confess, that the Papists Interpretation is more rational than the Lutherans?
A66142But you deny that any of your Church have ever held any such Doctrine?
A66142But, 3dly, Where at last do you find that I ever said, that you granted that we held ALL which you esteem to be fundamental?
A66142But, Sir, setting Calumny apart, Whence is it that you derive this Charge against us?
A66142By what Authority does he condemn these Prayers, these innocent Wishes and holy Raptures, as he calls them, as fond things, vainly invented?
A66142Cajetane anticipating this Objection, That to Vow is an Act of Supreme Religious Worship; and how then may it be given to the Saints?
A66142Can all their Expressions be fairly reduced to such Apostrophe''s?
A66142Can any one imagine that the Church when in Grots and Caverns taught one thing, and when She came into the light practised another?
A66142Can any thing, say they, be more express?
A66142Can you deny the Fact?
A66142Can you say that these Presumptions are not reasonable against you?
A66142Could it defend its self, I do not say from publick Enemies, or private Robbers, but even from the very Vermine, the creeping things of the Earth?
A66142Cum certum sit ibi esse Corpus Christi, quid opus est disputare num Panis substantia maneat, vel non?
A66142Cur non probat ullo exemplo?
A66142Did Ahab worship Baal or the Sun as a Corporeal Deity, so as to exclude all Sense and apprehension of a Superiour, Spiritual and Invisible Godhead?
A66142Did ever any Mountebank set out his false Ware with greater Vanity, than those of the Church of Rome have here done theirs?
A66142Did not here also above a Thousand years pass before any one attempted it?
A66142Did not the holy Angel twice refuse it from St. John?
A66142Did not their own Hands form its substance, and their Mouths speak it into a God?
A66142Do men use to say that the Heaven is worthy to be called the Heaven?
A66142Do not all these speak plainly to us what the Nature of this Worship is?
A66142Do not your own principles evidently shew the contrary?
A66142Do they not put up Bills over their Church Doors and Altars, almost every Sunday, to vend them on this Account?
A66142Do they not so much honour the Image of an Apostle or Martyr, as the Apostle or Martyr in presence of the Image?
A66142Do we provoke the Lord to Jealousie?
A66142Do you not here see somewhat, which your Council of Trent calls the Idolatry of the Gentiles?
A66142Do you your selves understand what you mean by it?
A66142Do''s my saying that ye must eat my flesh, and drink my Blood scandalize you?
A66142Do''s this, says he, Offend you?
A66142Does Diodorus Siculus say that the Egyptians worshipp''d only the Stars, without any Notion of Heroes and Demons?
A66142Does Monsieur de Meaux allow of this?
A66142Does he tells us that a Divine Worship may upon any account be paid to an Image?
A66142Does not the Church of Rome lay any Obligation on particular persons to joyn with her in the Invocation of Saints?
A66142Does not the Pope still dispatch them abroad, and his Missionaries preach them now as shamefully almost, as when Luther first rose against them?
A66142Does she condemn those only who refuse it out of Contempt, and with a spirit of dissention and revolt?
A66142Does she not pray to it, that in this time of the Passion, it would strengthen the Righteous, and give Pardon to the Guilty?
A66142Excepting only an Error or two, that''s the most, of the Press; has he given any one Example of this?
A66142For did not God himself command two Cherubims to be made, and used in his worship?
A66142For having proposed the Question in these terms, Whether the Reliques of Saints are to be ADORED?
A66142For how could he speak after this manner, if Jesus Christ be still upon Earth by his real Presence under the species in the Eucharist?
A66142For instance; What if the Priest had uncovered the Cross all at once?
A66142For is not the Eucharistical Bread and Wine, in a higher degree than any of their Idols were, exposed to the same raillery?
A66142For it is granted on all sides: But whether this Conversion be Sacramental and Figurative?
A66142For might not the Heathens have defended themselves the very same way?
A66142For tell me now I beseech you: If we unite our selves to your Church, will you not oblige us to go to Mass with you?
A66142For tell me now, I beseech you, O ye Worshippers of dead men?
A66142For the other part of your Charge, Interest: Were a Christian capable of being led by so base a Motive, yet how comes this to inspire us against you?
A66142For what benefit?
A66142For what did he demonstrate here, and say was his Body, but that which he gave to his Disciples?
A66142For what if Monsieur Jurieux were such a One as you pretend?
A66142For what is it to engage us to this, that the Ancients thought hereby to distinguish the best of Men from our Saviour Christ?
A66142For what is that but to say, that God has( in effect) made them partakers of his Immensity?
A66142For who would not laugh at that Man that should seriously argue after this manner?
A66142Had not the Israelites a good Intention to hold a feast unto the Lord, when they Worshipped the Molten Calf?
A66142Had their Wafer, if such then was their Host, any voice, or life, or motion?
A66142Has God revealed it to you?
A66142Has he not promised that whatsoever we ask the Father in HIS NAME, we shall receive it?
A66142Has he not told us that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life?
A66142Has the Church of Rome ascribed no other vertue to Images, than to excite in us the remembrance of those they represent?
A66142Has your Diocess escaped the rigour but of any one of these?
A66142Hath God more Respect to Man on Earth, than he hath to Christ in Heaven?
A66142Have I Calumniated them in any thing?
A66142Have I Misrepresented their Doctrines?
A66142Have any of your General approved Councils positively defined this to be all your Design in them?
A66142Have his holy Apostles written it?
A66142Have not the Clergy on your side as great a Command over the Consciences and over the Purses too of their Flock, as on Ours?
A66142Have the Holy Scriptures defined it?
A66142Have the Jesuits been condemned for teaching Men to swear by it?
A66142Have we any other Argument to warrant our belief of these, but what comes to us by the ministry of our Senses?
A66142Have we no Service of God in our Churches?
A66142Have we not an Advocate in Heaven, Jesus Christ the righteous, who is the sole and full propitiation of our sins?
A66142Have ye any probable proof of it?
A66142Have you never, Sir, your self heard us recommend with all Earnestness, the practice of this Piety to our Congregations?
A66142He doubts, whether a few such Copies could be PROPERLY CALLED AN IMPRESSION: And now to add my supposal to all the rest, What if this were the Case?
A66142He that can not be saved by Faith in Christs Blood, how shall he look to be deliver''d by Mans Intercessions?
A66142He that is alive prayeth, or offereth the Sacrifice; what shall this advantage the dead?
A66142Hereupon he explains himself yet farther; — But now if any one should ask of us, whether we make Christ absent from the Holy Supper?
A66142His Real Presence in the Eucharist, out of the act of communicating, not excepted?
A66142How far we allow that Salvation is to be had in the Church of Rome?
A66142How far we must depend on the Authority of the Church for the true Sense of Scripture?
A66142How far we must depend on the Authority of the Church for the true sense of Scripture?
A66142How long wilt thou suffer this dishonour?
A66142How shall I be favourable unto thee?
A66142How shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed?
A66142How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A66142How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A66142How should we go forth with the highest transports to welcome them into our Communion?
A66142How such Persons may become Guilty of it?
A66142How this Practice by degrees crept into the Church?
A66142How this may be done by them?
A66142How vain the Attempts of those of the Church of Rome have been in their Disputes against us?
A66142I doubt not but those who teach us this Doctrine have thought of it more than once; but have they well consider''d it?
A66142If Christ be only Man, why is a Man called upon as a Mediator in Prayers, seeing the calling upon a Man is judged of no value to give Salvation?
A66142If Christ be only Man, why is any Hope put in Him, seeing that Hope is represented as Accursed that is placed in Man?
A66142If it be true; Can you yet escape the charge of rashness and uncharitableness, to damn whole Churches for so needless a matter?
A66142If it were, how will this agree with his true and onely Notion of Idolatry?
A66142If it would, I should be glad to know what part of his definition it is that makes it to be so?
A66142If these indeed be your thoughts, let us plainly know the impiety of them?
A66142If they intend really what we suppose, and what their words do certainly signify; what Ingenuity can it be to impose upon us in the Declaration?
A66142If you have indeed the Liberty to do this, why do ye not use it, and remove so great a stumbling block as this out of our way?
A66142In Answer to my demand, Whether upon ANY ACCOUNT WHATSOEVER the Image of our Saviour and of the Holy Cross were to be worshipped with Divine Worship?
A66142In St. Paul''s Phrase, to change the truth of God into a lie, by representing the Incorruptible God by an Image made like unto a Corruptible Man?
A66142In a word: Is the Church of Rome contented to teach only that the Mass may very reasonably be called a Sacrifice?
A66142In what doubt is your Bishop of Meaux still in his Exposition, and you know he was once in a great deall more?
A66142In what sort of Writings were these Holy Men defective?
A66142In which those grievous punishments are to be undergone for the expiating of a soul from sin?
A66142Is it a point of Faith to believe, that among so many Priests, not one of them is a Cheat and an Impostor?
A66142Is it any Crime for one upon good grounds to change his Mind in this Case?
A66142Is it any where written?
A66142Is it not certain that if we err, we have yet both Christs Institution, and the practice and Opinion of many Ages to absolve us?
A66142Is it not necessary, nor universally received, to believe that these Indulgences satisfy for the temporal Pain of Sin?
A66142Is it that He advises the Worshippers of the Holy Virgin, not to think that she has any Merit but what she received from her Son?
A66142Is it that our Saviour Christ has not compassion enough for us, that you go to others as more merciful?
A66142Is it to be believed, that they Addressed to those as Mediators and Intercessors with God, for whom they themselves interceded to God?
A66142Is not his Holiness still esteem''d the Churches Treasurer?
A66142Is not this rare stuff?
A66142Is not this the very thing we charge you with, and which you have been so weakly endeavouring to perswade the World you did not do?
A66142Is not this think you fit to be considered by him?
A66142Is not this, Sir, a most edifying Prayer for a Church, calling her self Catholick, to use?
A66142Is that all the use they make of them?
A66142Is there any of the Evangelists that mentions it?
A66142Is there so much less of Interest to be carried on in the Church of Rome than in the Church of England?
A66142It was a nice Question put by Porphyry, to an Egyptian Priest, How the Sun, Moon and Stars could be Gods, seeing the Gods are incorporeal?
A66142Lastly: Since the prevalence of this Doctrine in the Church, what Opposition has it met with?
A66142Let us see, IIdly, Whether you do not seek to these Sacred Monuments for Help and Assistance?
A66142Mais quand l''aurois adjousté des Cartons à unè impression deja faite?
A66142Might not the people have had the same zeal by beholding the Cross, to adore him that suffered upon it?
A66142Much more would All those who now write or speak against you, come over to you, wherein I pray would their Worldly Concerns lose by their so doing?
A66142Must we therefore become mens Enemies because we tell them the Truth?
A66142Nay, but what now if neither of these were Author of that Hymn?
A66142Nay, does but so much as One single Rubrick in all your Offices give us the least Intimation of it?
A66142Nay, what if instead of bending their Knees three times before they kiss''d it, they had done it but once, or not at all?
A66142Nor is it whether Christ be taken Really, but whether he be taken in a Spiritual or in a Natural Manner?
A66142Not any Julian that had malice enough to publish their Confusion?
A66142Not to deal too strictly with you; Let us allow these Seven Spirits to signifie Created Angels; What will be the Consequence?
A66142Now then was this Idolatry by the Law, or was it not?
A66142Now what is this but to mock God in his solemn service?
A66142Now when all this is already done, to what end is it that they should be tormented?
A66142Now, what if one that had hitherto done nothing to forfeit his Reputation, should begin to do such notorious ill things as to deserve our Censure?
A66142On the other side, who can tell whether the Priest has consecrated, or indeed whether he be capable of consecrating?
A66142Or can you dare for our sakes to alter your Service, and leave out all those things that relate to the Blessed Virgin and to the Saints in it?
A66142Or can you with any shadow of sincerity say, that this is as opposite to your Exposition, as Heaven and Earth to one another?
A66142Or is our Liturgy so unapt to excite Devotion in those who duly attend upon its Offices?
A66142Or is there nothing of Violence either to Mens Persons or Goods in them?
A66142Or rather, did not Monsieur de Meaux here also mollifie the known Doctrine and practice of his Church?
A66142Or were not the Senses judges of those Miracles?
A66142Or what is it, Sir, that we must do to satisfie you, that we are not utterly estranged from Devotion?
A66142Or whether it be Natural and Bodily?
A66142Or will you purge all these too in Order to our Conversion?
A66142Or, did they perhaps do all this?
A66142Or, was it, 2. that they did not refer their Worship finally to God, but terminated their Adoration upon the very Image it self?
A66142Quid dignum tanto feret hic promissor Hiatu?
A66142Quid ergo dicendum de conversione substantiae Panis in Corpus Christi?
A66142Quid illo praestantius acumine, exercitatione, doctrinâ?
A66142Quid intentantibus Gladios, novasque excogitantibus ● poenas?
A66142Quis Orandus sit?
A66142Reperiremus& vos ipsos eadem sentire, quae nos — Sed studiis facere quid pervicacibus possumus?
A66142Secondly, Having thus resolved against your first foundation, that Images are to be Adored; He next enquires, what Worship is to be paid to them?
A66142Shall I tell you freely what I think?
A66142Shall their good Intentions secure them?
