A30406Now did ever Man before our Author put an& c. in such a place?

A30406Would our Author have a Prince rely blindly on a National Clergy, which is subject to Error, as is acknowledged by all the World?

A30449Can we apprehend the propagation of Plants, much less of Animals?

A34073Was it not to have his Ends of us?
A30432And how have we received it?
A30432Are our Hearts lifted up, or our Passions sharpened?
A30432But what shall be said, if all this Change of Affairs, has produced no other Change among us, but for the worse?
A30432But yet after all this, it may still be said, why must things of this nature be required to be believed of us?
A30432Does this serve only to lift us up upon our Success and Prosperity, and to make us remember all Quarrels, and so gratify Passion and Revenge?
A30432How did our apprehensions of losing it affect us?
A30432Is our Ease and Abundance abused into Luxury and Vanity?
A30432Thus though it is always a bold Question to ask, why were things so ordered by God?
A30432Was it only with the sense of a Party, and the anger of thinking that we were depressed, and like to be ill used?
A30432We ought in that case to ask our selves, what have we done?
A30432and instead of parting with our old Sins, are we adding new ones to them?
A30432and wherein have we troubled Israel?
A30432has it been only with the joy of seeing our Enemies fall before us, and of finding our selves now come in for a turn in the Advantages of Fortune?
A30413Can not he provide for his Servant, how unworthy soever, nourishment for one day?

A30413Thus both of them entring into the Boat, St. Peter asked him if he had any provision?
A30413Whether he had about him certain Charms, which as some think, have a power to untie all bands?
A30413and shewest thou no repentance of this horrible crime?
A30413hast thou no shame of the stain wherewith thou hast defiled thy high Birth?

A30477And for the Body of the Church, how shall a man find out their sense, unless gathered together in some Assembly?
A30477But for the Church of Rome, how unsafe is the Civil Government among them?
A30477But then the Question comes, What makes one a Member of the true Church?
A30477First, we turn back the Question and ask them where was their Religion the first six hundred years after Christ?
A30477Let any man of good reason judge, whether the last of these was not to be chosen?
A30477They first except to the Novelty of our Reformation, and always insult with this Question, Where was your Religion before Luther?
A30477This is like him that came to discover a huge Treasure that he knew was hid under ground; but being asked in what place it was?
A30477This we plainly teach, without Addition or Change: But in how many things have they departed from this Simplicity of the Gospel?
A30477or must a Man go over Christendome, and gather the Suffrages of all the Pastors of the Church?
A30434But on the other hand, what can be desired to make a Nation great and happy, but that which at the same time recommends it to the favour of God?
A30434What can secure a man''s Honesty, or give life to his Industry?
A30434What is become of the Love of our Country, and of its ancient Government and Liberty?
A30434Where are even the Decencies of Religion, or of the Worship of God?
A30434Where is the Good- nature and Generosity that was the Ornament of those that were nobly born?
A30434Where is the Truth and Fidelity which was formerly one of the distinctions of Englishmen?
A30434Where is the ancient gravity and composure of Behaviour that made a large part of the Character of this Nation?
A30434Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
A30434Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoyce in thee?
A30434Yet if we have failed at this time, What may not we hope from such an Essay, but that Angels watch over him, and that the Head of Angels covers him?
A30470Can not he provide for his Servant, how unworthy soever, nourishment for one day?
A30470In ● ● e mean time the Officer, whose Prisoner he was, began to ask him, how came it to pass that he could not be bound?
A30470Now what followed?
A30470This struck a terrour into the whole Assembly, and thereupon St. Dunstan said, My Brethren, what would you have more?
A30470Whether he had about him certain Charms, which, as some think, have a power to untie all bands?
A30470and shewest thou no repentance of this horrible crime?
A30470answered he, How many thousands did God feed in the Wilderness, forty years together?
A30470eng Jetzer, Johann, 1483- 1514?
A30470hast thou no shame of the stain wherewith thou hast defiled thy high Birth?
A30470shall I alone remain destitute?
A30470why do I for my own conveniency make use of a Seat framed of the Tree which so holy a Priest planted with his own hands?
A30455And can any man be so ignorant as to doubt of this?
A30455Did not the Judges in every Circuit, and the Favourite Justices of Peace in every Sessions, imploy all their Eloquence on this Subject?
A30455Were not all the Orders 〈 ◊ 〉 late Severity sent from thence?
A30455What have I either done or said, to draw on me so heavy and so long a continued Displeasure?
A30425And why is it then that God has only shaken the Rod over us, but has not suffered it to hurt us?
A30425But how strangely did all this vanish?
A30425Whether Men ought to put the stress of their Religion upon a real Renovation of Heart and Life?
A30425Whether Men ought to satisfy themselves in the Points of Religion, or ought to take them upon trust?
A30425Whether we ought to believe our Senses and Reason in their proper Objects, or not?
A30425Why grasp''d they at so much all at once?
A30425Why was it that few were either so weak or so corrupt, but they have been so successful that they at last have set them right?
A30425Why was the Hook so ill covered when the Bait was thrown out?
A30425or, if it may do full as well, to hire and pay a Priest for forgiving our Sins in this Life, or redeeming us from the punishment of them in the next?
A30416And what do most of those things amount to, in which we are employed?
A30416And what is the just support of a man under those trials?
A30416Are we such strangers to our selves, that we have never so much as considered what our Callings and relations oblige us to?
A30416Count we nothing small that offends God, and blemishes our own Integrity?
A30416Do we often and narrowly review our life that we may discover past errors, and correct them for the future?
A30416How will they reckon that the time past ought more than suffice them to have wrought the will of the flesh?

A30466He said, If a man says he can not believe, what help is there?
A30466How Sight and Hearing were so quick and distinct, how we move, and how Bodies were compounded and united?
A30466Now let any man judge, Whether the prejudices on this side, are not greater, than that single one of the other side, of being denied some pleasure?
A30466So all the difficulty is, Why were the Israelites commanded to execute a thing of such Barbarity?
A30466Some Diversion, Mirth, and Pleasure is all they can promise themselves; but to obtain this, how many Evils are they to suffer?
A30466Some few I remember, Who hath believed our Report?
A30466Whether the one is not to be done before the other?
A30466Why was not Man made a Creature more disposed for Religion, and better Illuminated?
A30466how have many wasted their strength, brought many Diseases on their Bodies, and precipitated their Age in the pursuit of those things?
A30336And can this be thought a hard Imposition?
A30336And why have Christian Princes and States, given them great Revenues, and an Accession of Secular Honours?

A30479It is asked, if he be of that Church?
A30479Now the Question comes to this?
A30479Pray then who invests the Popes with their Jurisdiction?
A30479Then it is asked, if any Simoniacal promises be made?
A30479Then, what Function he is of?
A30479Vis ea quae ex Divinis scripturis intelligis, plebem cui Ordinandus es& verbis docere& exemplis?
A30479Was he ever Married?
A30479Wilt thou bear Faith and Subjection to St. Peter,( to whom the Lord gave the Power of binding and loosing,) and to his Vicars and Successors?
A30479Wilt thou reverently Receive, Teach, and Keep the Traditions of the Orthodox Fathers, and the Decretal Constitutions of the Holy and Apostolick See?
A30479[ Most] in our Language stands for the[ greater part] now how many can he find that agree with him in this Gloss?
A30414And for the security of Order and Government, what means are like those our Religion offers?
A30414But is all our work only to reflect with some horrour on this infamous action?
A30414Can we resist his Thunders or his Plagues, Fire and Famine?
A30414Did a pusillanimous fear freez their courage, when their Head was thus struck at?
A30414Did the atrocity of the Fact astonish them so, that they were not recovered out of this amazing surprize till it was too late?
A30414Do Husband and Wife expect the Fidelity and Sacred performance of the Ties of Wedlock?
A30414Do Masters desire honest and careful Servants, and Servants a just and gentle Master?
A30414Do Subjects desire a good King?
A30414Do all men desire to live by honest well- natured and affectionate Neighbours?
A30414Does a Father desire dutiful Children, or Children an affectionate Father?
A30414Let them pray that he be a good Christian, and then he shall certainly govern well; And do Kings desire good and obedient Subjects?
A30414Or did the suddenness of the Crime prevent their diligence?
A30414have we no other concern in this Day?
A30433And now Lord, what shall we say after this?
A30433And will he bear with us for ever?
A30433Are the differences so wide that they can not be healed?
A30433Are we better than the others who have suffered?
A30433But alas, can it be expected that those who do not mourn for their own Sins, should mourn for the Sins of others?
A30433Have we no sense of God''s forgiving us our many hainous sins?
A30433Have we no sense of all that God has done for us?
A30433How have they gone up into the Ears of the Lord of Hosts?
A30433How loud is the Cry of the Luxury, the Injustice, the Fraud, the Violence, and the Impieties of this Place?
A30433If the Seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob were so used, why should others hope to escape, if they become guilty of the like Ingratitude?
A30433Is every Man so soured with the leaven of a Party, that he can not see himself, or make others observe the tendency of all this?
A30433Is there no Balm in Gilead, and is there no Physician there?
A30433Or, can we think that God is partial to us?
A30433Shall not I visit for these things, saith the Lord?
A30433Suffer me then in the words of St. Paul, to say, Is there not a wise man among you?
A30433Were the wrongs done so great that they can not be forgiven?
A30433Who were cleansing themselves from their Impieties and Impurities, from their Injustice and Oppression?
A30433Who were putting from them the Evil of their Ways?
A30433Will we quite defeat, and disappoint it?
A30433shall not my Soul be avenged on such a People as this is?
A30337And doth not the Musick of his Mercies Charm you?
A30337Are we not Covetous, Proud, Passionate and Self- conceited?
A30337Did not the Grecian Conquerour conquer his Reason by his Pride, in conceiting himself the Son of Iupiter Hammon?
A30337Did we not see an unclouded sweetnesse and serenity so possesse his Looks, that easily we might conclude, how little his thoughts were disturbed?
A30337Hath not the Loud Cry of the Iudgements of God awakened you?
A30337Hath not the Preaching of His Word Converted you, nor the Life of His Servants, wrought upon you?
A30337How many impoverished Souls are lodged in Bodies, whose cabinets are well stored with Riches?
A30337In what a Goatish shape do the fables represent their ador''d Iupiter?
A30337Is there not then a Prince and a great Man fallen this day in Israel?
A30337Is there not then, a great Man fallen this day in Israel?
A30337Know ye not then there is a Great Man raised up this day in the New Ierusalem?
A30337So what a sight should it be, if we could unfold the Plicatures of the Garments wherein many souls are invelopt?
A30337What Hallelujahs is he now singing?
A30337What severe Censurings, bitter Reproaches and scurrilous Invectives, are we daily forced to hear?
A30337What though the Pretenders to Nobility could ascend in their Genealogies to Adam?
A30337Whence doth the Root of Earthly Honour spring, but from Earth?
A30337Who can then blame me when I say, There is a Prince and a great Man fallen this day in Israel?
A30337With what Pleasure feels he himself beyond the Assaults of Corruption?
A30337With what delight doth He keep his Part in those Heavenly Anthems?
A30337With what pleasure will He consider all the Treats of these wel- featured souls?
A30337With what violence and eagernesse, may we daily see Inconsiderable and Controverted Opinions, pressed and advanced?
A30399And lastly, can it be necessary to Salvation, and yet we can obtain pardon of Sins without the use of it?
A30399And then why might it not be at Antioch or Jerusalom as well as Rome?
A30399And, if Tradition in true Writers be so difficult to preserve, how can it be expected to be safe from spurious ones, or without any Writers at all?
A30399For during these times, where was the true Successor of S. Peter?
A30399Have they no better Grounds for their Articles of Faith than these?
A30399Is this the pretended solid Union of the Popish Church in matters of Salvation, and which she enjoyns under pain of Damnation?
A30399Or was the Church( in their sense) so long without an Head?
A30399To what end then are they sent to Purgatory?
A30399Was all the World a- sleep, or ignorant so long of this Power which they now challenge to themselves Jure Divino?
A30399What Protestant could have opposed this vain Doctrine with greater strength of Reason and Argument than these Papists have done?
A30399What can the Papists say to this so plain an acknowledgment?
A30399What clashing and enterfering is here?
A30399What then will she trust to?
A30399Where was then that reverence to Antiquity, which their Followers to this day so much pretend to?
A30399Where was then the exercise or acknowledgment of this Supremacy and Infallibility of the Popes?
A30399Whether the Papists can prove, that S. Peter, while he lived, exercised such Power and Supreme Iurisdiction, even over the Apostles?
A30399Whether they can make it appear, That our Blessed Saviour, when on Earth, exercised such a temporal Monarchy as the Pope now challengeth?
A30399Whether, if S. Peter exercised any such Authority, it was not temporary, and ceased with his Person, as the Apostleship did?
A30399Which place when Cheyney, a Protestant in Q. Mary''s days, insisted upon against the Papists, and demanded what it was that was burned?
A30399and whether ever he was at Rome or no?
A58838And shall such silly worms be advanced to so great a height?
A58838At what do I aim?
A58838But O when shall it once be?
A58838But why should we give way to such discouraging suggestions?
A58838For who can give a Law to those that love?
A58838Hast thou excited these desires in my Soul, and wilt thou not also satisfie them?
A58838Hast thou given me a prospect of so great a felicity, and wilt thou not bring me unto it?
A58838Have I not tryed these things already?
A58838How graciously hast thou joyn''d our Duty and Happiness together, and prescribed that for our work, the performance whereof is a great reward?
A58838Is it possible to remember it and question his kindness, or deny him ours?
A58838O when wilt Thou come unto me, and satisfie my Soul with thy likeness, making me holy as thou art holy, even in all manner of conversation?
A58838Quis legem det amantibus?
A58838Shall he not see of the travel of his Soul?
A58838Shall we doat on the scattered pieces of a rude and imperfect picture, and never be affected with the original beauty?
A58838Why should we think it impossible that True Goodness and Universal Love should ever come to sway and prevail in our Souls?
A58838Will they have a higher relish, and yield me more contentment to morrow than yesterday, or the next year than they did the last?
A58838Wilt Thou allow us to raise our eyes to Thee?
A58838Wilt thou admit and accept our affection?
A58838how few are there that know and consider what it means?
A58838what a mighty felicity is this to which we are called?
A58838why should we entertain such unreasonable fears, which damp our spirits and weaken our hands, and augment the difficulties of our way?
A54862And if he had it from the Foundation, or at any time after, before and without that Composition, to what purpose was the Invention?
A54862And is he not fit to bestow the Least?
A54862And why with no Salvo to the King''s Right, to which it is an Opposition?
A54862Can a Prebendary not Residentiary be compelled now so to Reside?
A54862Can he pretend to have a better?
A54862Car tel est son plaisir?
A54862How often had the Hierarchy been trodden utterly under foot, if the King singly had not Sustained them?
A54862If the Bishop of Sarum had no Jurisdiction within the Close, without, or before that Composition, why was it not Invented almost 300 years sooner?
A54862Is the King fit to be intrusted with All the greatest Promotions, All the Bishopricks and Deaneries?
A54862Lastly, Why was it called a Composition, or a Compromise, a Concord made between Parties Litigant?
A54862Or will he pretend to have none at all?
A54862Or will you tax a man at Quinta parte Prebendae, because he doth not Reside, and yet you will not admit him to Reside?
A54862Or, What Ill Consequence could therebe of it?
A54862Quid Domini Domus in Castro, nisi Faederis Arca, In Templo Baalim?
A54862What think you?
A54862Why should any man dispute against his Kings being his Founder?
A54862Will not those Persons be glad to be allowed to prove the Negative upon their Oaths?
A54862Will they not expostulate, si accusasse suffecerit, Quis erit Innocuus?
A54862Will you admit every one into Residence that shall offer himself, and protest de Residendo?
A54862and why was it ever made at all?
A54862and why with a Non obstante Statuto& Charta Praedicta?
A54862and why with a Salvo to the Dean''s Right, whereof it is a Violation?
A54862when his Progenitors gave so many even to mere Lay- men, and their Heirs for ever?
A30330A second thing about which there was some Controversy was, whether the Particulars that fell under debate came within the Head of Heresy, or not?
A30330After all these dismal Facts, was it not time for the States of France, to think of some effectual Remedy, to prevent the like for the future?
A30330And for the Body of the Church, how shall a man find out their sense, unless gathered together in some Assembly?
A30330Besides, How can those Persons be assured, that the fourth Council of Lateran did not decree according to Tradition?
A30330But for the Church of Rome, how unsafe is the Civil Government among them?
A30330But then the Question comes, What makes one a Member of the true Church?
A30330But what shall I say?
A30330First, we turn back the Question, and ask them where was their Religion the first six hundred years after Christ?
A30330If also another Question arise how much the Sixth Commandment obliges?
A30330If the Admiral had any such design, why came he to Court?
A30330It was debated long, whether the King of Navarre and the Prince of Conde, should perish with the rest?
A30330Let any man of good reason judge, whether the last of these was not to be chosen?
A30330Or, tho particular Persons would prevaricate, would the whole Clergy conspire to do it?
A30330Some of them went out to the Streets, and asked what the matter might be, of so great a Concourse, and so many Torches and armed Men, at such an hour?
A30330The Authority of the Sentence in the Case of Heresy was not controverted; all the Question was; Whether the Point under debate was Heresy or not?
A30330They first except to the Novelty of our Reformation, and always insult with this Question, Where was your Religion before Luther?
A30330This is like him that came to discover a huge Treasure that he knew was hid under ground; but being asked in what place it was?
A30330This we plainly teach, without Addition or Change: But in how many things have they departed from this Simplicity of the Gospel?
A30330When Walsingham read this, and was asked, what he thought of the Admirals Friendship to his Mistress?
A30330Why to Paris, where he knew he had few Friends, and a vast number of mortal Enemies?
A30330Will Men easily change their Faith?
A30330Yet it seems, as short as it was, it made some Impression, for when she asked the King, what it was that he had said to him?
A30330and why did he desire a Guard from the King?
A30330my poor Subjects, what had you done?
A30330or must a Man go over Christendome, and gather the Suffrages of all the Pastors of the Church?
A30330what have they done?
A30400And I will ask I. K. what if the Gentiles had rejected their testimony as well as the Iews did?
A30400And in the first place, how is it proved, that some things are better than other things?
A30400And let me first ask I. K. whether he takes the Church of Corinth to have had a true Religion when S. Paul wrote to ▪ it?
A30400And what humane enticements were wanting to draw men into their Religion?
A30400Did not the Greek Church when it was broke from the Roman, convert many Nations, the Bulgars, the Muscovites and many other northern Kingdoms?
A30400For let me ask I. K. how the Decrees and Canons of the Council of Trent are to be understood?
A30400If after all this it be replyed, How is it then that there are such different Expositors and Expositions of Scripture?
A30400Is this therefore to set up a private spirit to enterpret these Canons?
A30400Was not that dearest part of it, the authority of the Popes, the occasion of many long and bloody wars in Germany and Italy?
A30400What a patrociny to impenitence is their Opinion, of a simple Attrition being sufficient for the Sacrament?
A30400What have they ever done to better Mankind?
A30400With how many errors doth S. Iohn charge some of the seven Churches?
A30400Witness the present year with all the favours and Indulgences to such as go to the thresholds of the Apostles?
A30400and have studied to satisfie men in the most impious and immoral practises?
A30400or does any imagine the Atheists will admit that?
A30400yet if these sacred writings had been with a most Religious care conveyed down to us, had we not been bound to believe the Gospel?
A30350Another Difficulty follows close upon this, which is, In what Church this Infallibility is to be found?
A30350Century, how shall he know that he must seek the Infallibility in the Roman Communion, and that he can not find it in his own?
A30350If Liberty and Religion are valuable things; and if they are not, what is valuable?
A30350In all Constitutions among men, the most evident thing is this, Where rests the Supreme Authority of that Constitution?
A30350It is also probable, that by Elders or Presbyters, are to be meant those to whom that name was afterwards appropriated; why then are they shut out?
A30350Must he pretend to be wiser than all the Doctors of their Law, or the Conveyers of their Traditions to them?
A30350Must he set up his Skill and Reason above theirs?
A30350Must he take upon him to judge so intricate a Controversy?
A30350Must this Council consist of all the Bishops of the Christian Church?
A30350Now if all the other promises were to descend thus, why not this of being led into all Truth, as well as the rest?
A30350Now the only Question that will remain, will be, How far must this go?
A30350Now what are the Provisions against Sin?
A30350Now what was a private Iew to do?
A30350There was a Controversy between the Apostles and the Sanhedrim, whether Iesus was the Messias, or not?
A30350Therefore when this was the point, Whether they had seen or heard such or such things?
A30350Whither can we fly for shelter, or where can we promise our selves either Retreat or Relief?
A30350Who then shall decide these Controversies, and expound those Decrees?
A30350because the Scriptures affirm it; and why do you believe the Scriptures?
A30417And does not the Prospect of these things affect us?
A30417And in this, how parallel are our Sins to theirs?
A30417And whether we have returned to the Lord, or not?
A30417And while such Vices abound, and so many Judgments hang over us, who is betaking himself to Fasting and Prayer?
A30417But to all this it may be opposed, Are not we zealous for the Reformation?
A30417But to speak plainly; Is it a Christian Zeal to disseminate Lies and Scandals?
A30417But who has said, What have I done?
A30417But will he accept of these from such defiled hands?
A30417Can such a dead lifeless way of serving him, be acceptable to him, that knows how far our Hearts are from him, when we draw near to him with our Lips?
A30417Do we think God is pleased or can be delighted with such Assemblies?
A30417Have we yet returned unto him?
A30417If men make their Weights small, and falsifie their Balances by Deceit, so that they sell the Poor bread, shall God forget these things?
A30417If we blindly deliver our selves up to a Party, and follow all its Interests, what better is this than their Implicit Obedience?
A30417If we think our coming to Church, or Sacrament, will save us, is it not as bad as their Opus operatum?
A30417In the Worship of God, how little serious are we in all the parts of it?
A30417Shall we follow these Patterns so carefully, as if we were afraid to miss such Calamities as fell on them?
A30417Sure all this Heat and Flame must rise from true Religion?
A30417To expose men that have deserved highly, for some supposed Mistakes?
A30417We ought to consider, what effect these have had on us?
A30417Whether they have made us turn to God, or not?
A30417While we worship him merely out of Form, what difference is there between that and the telling of Beads?
A30417shall not the Land tremble for this and every one mourn that dwelleth therein?
A30417who hath cut off any of his former Excesses, or is accusing himself?
A30419And if he come upon us, what can we do to withstand his mighty Arm?
A30419Are all these things forgotten?
A30419Are our works perfect before God who knows them?
A30419Are we living under the influences of that love?
A30419But what is all this to us?
A30419But who read them with a simplicity of Mind to be directed by them, and to be inwardly inflamed by the heavenly strains in them?
A30419Can we restrain his Thunders, or be Proof against his Arrows?
A30419Do we sit crossing our hands, accusing one another, or it may be, faintly condemning our selves?
A30419Have Our works been perfect before God?
A30419Have they not been on the contrary the worst, the most impious, and immoral that many could think on?
A30419Have we been adding Sin to Sin, and perhaps Hypocrisy, or a counterfeit Zeal to all the rest?
A30419Have we forgot how publickly that great blessing of the Kings Restauration was abused?
A30419Here is a sad prospect before us; but in what disposition are we to bear it?
A30419How near were we brought to utter Ruin, and how long were we ruled by the Sword, during the late Wars?
A30419Is not all this of the Lord?
A30419Let us recollect our Thoughts, and ask our selves, What have we done?
A30419Oh shall nothing make us wiser?
A30419Or do we remember them, only to furnish out Discourse with them?
A30419Or what do we for our holy Faith, that Infidels, Mahometans, Jews, or Papists, would not do for their perswasions?
A30419Then what Judgments fell on them?
A30419We see and acknowledge what he has done for us, let us next consider what Grapes we have brought forth?
A30419What demonstration have we given to God or the World, that we consider Religion as it is indeed the Power of God to the Salvation of our Souls?
A30419What do we then?
A30419What has then separated between God and Us?
A30419What is then to be done?
A30419What returns We have made to God?
A30419What shall the end of these things be?
A30419When we hear of these things, we ought wisely to consider of these Works of the Lord: Why should we hope to escape, if we are as guilty as they were?
A30419Where is that charitable, healing and compassionate temper which becomes Christians, and reformed Christians?
A30419Whether shall we now turn our Eyes?
A30419and what hath raised that thick Cloud that seems to be set over Us, and is ready to discharge it self in Fire, Brimstone, and a horrible Tempest?
A30419do our hearts burn with the sense of it?
A30419what reverence have we for the person, or what obedience pay we to the Doctrine of our Crucified Saviour?
A51327And what is Delight, but another name for Pleasure?
A51327And will his Head''s being bare, cure the madness of yours?
A51327But as to the Question, What more convenient way of Punishment can be found?
A51327If it is said, that Health can not be felt, they absolutely deny that, for what Man is in Health, that does not perceive it when he is awake?
A51327If, I say, I should talk of these or such like things, to Men that had taken their biass another way, how deaf would they be to it all?
A51327In such things as I have named to you, do Days, Months, and Years slip away; what is then left for Writing?
A51327Is there any Man that is so dull and stupid, as not to acknowledg that he feels a delight in Health?
A51327Pray how do you think would such a Speech as this be heard?
A51327There has been a Controversy in this Matter very narrowly canvassed among them; Whether a firm and entire Health could be called a Pleasure, or not?
A51327Was you ever there, said I?
A51327What is that?
A51327Will the bending another Man''s Thighs give yours an ease?
A51327and who run in to create Confusions with so desperate a boldness, as those who having nothing to lose, hope to gain by them?
A51327answered Raphael, is that to be compassed in a way so abhorrent to my Genius?
A51327who does more earnestly long for a change, than he that is uneasy in his present Circumstances?
A66131After all, were our Case as bad as the Declaration represents it, How comes his Highness to be concern''d in it?
A66131After all, what would his Highness have done in the Case?
A66131And if I may be so bold, Does he always do so much?
A66131And is the very Noise of such a Presumption reason enough to justifie a real War?
A66131And is there any thing more than a Violent Presumption suggested about the Prince of Wales?
A66131And must we have an Army to revenge the wrongs of the Bishops, and a Peer, who, I believe, themselves complain of none done them?
A66131Are Judicicial Proceedings already threatned, and barr''d?
A66131As for the other things urg''d, are they not Redressable by a Parliament, and so far as it''s possible without one already Redressed?
A66131But can he not design a Conquest for all that?
A66131But can not the King and Parliament compose this matter without Bloodshed?
A66131But was the Assembly that Acted thus Irregularly, ever call''d to an Account for it, or any of their Laws declared Void and Null?
A66131But what if this prove not True?
A66131Can Matters of Civil Justice be brought to great Uncertainties by the incapacity of Papists, who have no incapacity upon them?
A66131Did Queen Elizabeth''s Parliament admit of a Words being spoken to bring Queen Mary''s Parliament into doubt?
A66131Did they not look on it as most dangerous to do so?
A66131How ill do they understand the Law of England, who penn''d this Declaration?
A66131If an English Parliament were to judge, whether Foreign Force be lawful?
A66131In the mean time, How does this justifie Foreign Arms?
A66131May we afterwards venture to believe his Highness in any thing, which under a violent Temptation, he may be, as now, moved to declare?
A66131Must we believe again they can not joyn in an Attempt in which his Highness himself tells us they do joyn?
A66131Must we believe the same thing, practised by His Majesty, will divide Protestants, and by his Highness establish a good Agreement?
A66131Or was it ever esteemed a Good Reason for a War?
A66131Pray what better, or other Advice could his Highness have given?
A66131What could he do more himself, if it had been his own Case?
A66131Whether it be Integrity, Zeal, and Fidelity to abet it?
A66131Whether it can be without a design of Conquest, and Conquest without enslaving this Nation to the Arbitrary Pleasure of the Conqueror?
A66131Why?
A66131Why?
A66131Would his Highness be content to refer his own Birth?
A66131and what can be done more, than to leave none of those things in being, of which he complain''d?
A3035918. Who must be the Infallible Expounder of the Decrees of Councils?
A303597. Who of all the Societies of Christians must have the interest to meet and give vote in a Council?
A30359And first let me ask you, What necessity there is of an Infallible Iudg, to whose Decrees all must yield absolute obedience?
A30359And how shall I know that they received Orders from one that gave them with a right Intention?
A30359And let me first apply my last Question to the Pope, and ask how you know that all your Popes have been Christians, Priests, and Bishops?
A30359And why should this Inspiration rest on some, and not on all, since all bear the same Character?
A30359And why was he so sullen as not to name his Successor, when our Saviour shewed him that he was to put off his Tabernacle shortly?
A30359But upon the whole matter how shall I know what is either decreed by Councils, or Popes, or received by the body of Christians?
A30359Does not all the world know what interest the Factions of the two Crowns, of the Nephews, and the Squadrone Volante have in the Election of the Popes?
A30359Does the Authority li edivided among the Cardinals, or have they none at all?
A30359How shall I know in the case of a Schism who is Canonically Elected?
A30359How shall I know what is a General Council, what not?
A30359How shall I know who is Canonically Elected?
A30359How then I must be directed to find this infallible Umpire of all differences?
A30359How then shall I be satisfied to which of them I must offer up my obedience?
A30359How then shall I know that in the Elections there was no Symony?
A30359I know you do not pretend to the former, but if you did, I would ask you what grounds there were to believe this?
A30359If then they judge as rational men from the reasons that are laid before them, why may not other persons examine those Reasons as well as they?
A30359If you tell me in a Council, then I must ask you, Where this Council is to be found?
A30359In the interval of the Sede vacante, who is Head of the Church?
A30359Is it a dead body without a head, or is it a Monster of many heads?
A30359Is the Pope infallible in all he says, or onely when he gives out of his Chair his Decision of Controversies?
A30359Let me also ask you, What right have the Cardinals to the Election of the Pope?
A30359Must they rest on the Popes definition?
A30359My fourth question is, In what person or persons of the Roman Church this Infallibility doth rest?
A30359My second Question shall be, Whether there be really such an Infallible Iudge on Earth?
A30359My third Question shall be, supposing an Infallible Church, How shall I be directed in my search for it, so as to find it out?
A30359Now if I may expound it in some places, why not in all that is indispensably necessary to salvation?
A30359Now what reason is it, that of all the works of the flesh, provision should only be against Heresie?
A30359Or must they stay for a decision from the Council?
A30359Or what number is necessary?
A30359Shall any body that understands mankind imagine these Elections go upon any other grounds but Interest, Faction, Expectation, or some such base thing?
A30359Suffer me therefore to ask you in this long interval of Councils, whether there be any Infallible Judge of Controversies, or not?
A30359Suppose the Pope give out a general summons for all Bishops, can this be more than a Meeting of all within his Patriarchate?
A30359Suppose the Popes Writ goes over all Christendom, must all the Bishops come to the Council or not?
A30359What reverence can I pay a Succession of men who have plainly trampled on all Laws Divine and Humane?
A30359When new Controversies arise among Christians, to whom must they go for decision?
A30359Where then shall we find a Judge of Controversies concerning the true meaning of the Decrees of Councils?
A30359Whether must I believe the Decrees of a General Council before they are approved by the Pope, or not?
A30359Whether must the whole Council agree in a Decision, or the major part determine?
A30359must I travel all the Christian World over to examine of which side the greatest number is?
A30359must all the Lays be excluded, and only the Clergy be admitted?
A30411All the wonders of the Prophets and Apostles were but sorry matters to it: What was Moses calling for Manna from Heaven and Water from the Rock?
A30411And is not Grace able to build them up, and make them perfect in every good word and work?
A30411And then he proposes the Objection, how that could be?
A30411And yet how does sin and vice abound in the World?
A30411But we desire to know what they think can be meant by these words?
A30411D. S. said, He wondred to hear him speak so, Were not the Greek, the Armenian, the Nestorian, and the Abissen Churches separated from the Roman?
A30411Did ever man in his wits argue in this fashion?
A30411Does not the Gospel offer Grace to all men to lead holy lives, following the Commandments of God?
A30411Elija''s bringing sometimes Fire and sometimes Rain from Heaven?
A30411From the Sixth Century downward what a race of Men have the Popes been?
A30411He asks how it was to be called after the Sanctification?
A30411How comes it then, that for the first seven Ages there were no Heresies nor Hereticks about this?
A30411How many imaginary difficulties may one imagine might have obstructed the changing this Custom?
A30411How shall be satisfy those that interrogate him, or defend that which is written?
A30411In the end, when the Council had passed their Decree, does the method of their dispute alter?
A30411Is it not then a strange choice?
A30411Is there not then here a clear change?
A30411M. W. said, Did not the Greek Church reconcile it self to the Roman Church at the Council of Florence?
A30411One would expect to hear of tumults and stirs, and an universal conspiracy of all men to save this Right of their Children?
A30411S. P. T. said, Did not King Lucius write to the Pope upon his receiving the Christian Faith?
A30411St. Chrysostome on these words, The Bread which we break, it is not the Communion of the Body of Christ?
A30411Then he asks, where it was written, That the Son was like the Father in his Essence?
A30411This did, as it was no wonder, startle the Jews, so they murmured, and said, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
A30411We know the pompous Objection against this, is, How comes it then that there are so many errors and divisions among Christians?
A30411What are they made who take it?
A30411Whom had they blame for all this but themselves?
A30411Would they have men changed into the nature of bruits?
A30411or was this any thing but what would have been certainly done in the gentlest and mildest government upon earth?
A30411says, What is the Bread?
A30411what were the Apostles raising the dead, giving sight to the blind, and feet to the lame?
A30411where shall be find a fit answer?
A30438Ah, have we our Religion for no other end, but to be laugh''d at and despised by some, while it is made by others only matter of Passion and Faction?
A30438And are not all these powerful Arguments to press us to call on God mightily for his Help?
A30438And not to go out of the Precincts of this Crown, What a Field of Blood, of Death and Desolation, has Ireland been, and alas still is?
A30438Are all gone aside?
A30438Are there not Ten Righteous Men left, for whose sake God may be moved to spare and deliver us?
A30438Are we so sensible of our Frailty and Misery, that we cry mightily to God for Mercy and Grace?
A30438Are we without a Remnant?
A30438Can we look on tamely when so much is at Stake?
A30438Do we accustom our selves often to reflect on the Works and Ways of God?
A30438Do we acknowledge his Providence, depend upon it, and in all things submit to it?
A30438Do we assist in them with our Hearts, as well as with our Persons?
A30438Do we implore a Blessing upon their Persons and Government, upon their Counsels and Undertakings?
A30438Do we in our secret Addresses to the Throne of Grace, make mention of those whom God in his merciful Providence has set over us?
A30438Do we often Implore the Assistances of his Holy Spirit, and bless him for all the good things that we receive at his Hands?
A30438Do we often consider that he sees and observes all we do, and that he will call us to give an Account of it at the last Day?
A30438Do we often in our Prayers to him intercede for all Mankind; and more particularly for the Church and Nation to which we do belong?
A30438Do we often pour out our Souls before him in earnest Prayer?
A30438Do we rejoice in the Publick Acts of Religious Worship?
A30438Do we upon these Solemn Days join our Secret Devotions with the Publick Offices?
A30438Does this Principle make us do or forbear many things, that we would not do or forbear without it?
A30438Have these things all left us?
A30438Have we a Sense of God dwelling much upon our Hearts?
A30438Have we a Witness within us that can answer all these Questions?
A30438Have we who stay at Home no Ambition to share with them in it?
A30438How many Protestant Churches have been plucked up by the Roots?
A30438How terribly have many others been shattered and next to ruined?
A30438Is his Fear much before our Eyes?
A30438Is there none that doth good, no not one?
A30438Is there not a Man among us according to Ieremy''s Words?
A30438Men can neither trust a false Man, nor love him; and what strength can there be in any Government, where there are no Foundations for these?
A30438What pains has been taken among us, to laugh out of our Minds the sense both of Religion and Vertue?
A30438Where are the most common Vertues of ordinary Heathens?
A30438Where is the Truth and Honesty, the common Morality and Probity that must be the Strength of every Nation?
A30438While then all is struck at, why are not all concerned, since every Man must bear his share in the Issue?
A30438and are we seriously affected with the State and the Dangers of our Religion?
A30438and have we only a Name, that we live, while we are truly dead?
A30438are they all gone into the Generations of their Fathers?
A30438are we those that have troubled our Israel?
A30438where are the Godly and the Faithful Men?

A48243Beside this, what Evidence can they give of the Canonical Ordination of all the Bishops of Rome?
A48243But if this is true, then into what desperate scruples must all men fall?
A48243But now I come to answer the main Question, which is indeed the whole substance of the Letter, Why have they made the Schism?
A48243But this is that upon which we expostulate with you in particular, and which we ask of you without ceasing, Why have you made the Schism?
A48243By what Earthly powers were they supported when they preached Christ, and converted almost all Nations from Idols to God?
A48243Claves credo regni Coelorum non habebant?
A48243De quo coelo cecidit?
A48243De quo mari emersit?
A48243Did Paul gather a Church to Christ by vertue of Royal Edicts, when he himself was exposed as a spectacle on a Theatre?
A48243Did they derive any authority from the Palace, when they were singing Hymns to God, in Prison, in Chains, and after they were whipped?
A48243Did we not all eat of the same Spiritual meat?
A48243Edictisque Regiis Paulus cum in theatro spectaculum ipse es ● et Christo Ecclesiam congregabat?
A48243From whence are these Reformers come?
A48243From whom have they received their Doctrine, and the authority to Preach it?
A48243I pray you, O you Bishops, who believe your selves to be such, what were the assistances which the Apostles made use of in preaching the Gospel?
A48243In the Intervals of Councils where is it?
A48243Must one go over Europe, and poll all the Bishops and Divines to find their Opinions?

A48243Quibus adjuti potestatibus Christum praedicaverunt, gentesque fere omnes ex Idolis ad Deum transtulerunt?
A48243That Priests are kept in Prisons, and the people are delivered over to the Jaylors?
A48243To this he adds,"But what is this that Priests are forced by Chains to fear God, and commanded by the terrour of punishments?
A48243Were we not all of the same houshold?
A48243What is more strange( says he) than to put Jesus Christ in the Bread, and not to adore him?
A48243Wherefore then, Brethren, have you not continued in the root with the whole World?
A48243Why did you break the Vows and the Wishes of the Faithful, with the Altars on which they were offered?
A48243Why did you intercept the course of Prayer from the Altars, from whence was the ascent to God?
A48243Why then do you delay or withstand this?

A30412A Person, whose Name I know not, but shall henceforth mark him N. N. asked what M. B. meant, by Faith only?
A30412All the wonders of the Prophets and Apostles were but sorry matters to it: What was Moses calling fo ● Manna from Heaven and Water fromm the Rock?
A30412And is not Grace able to build them up, and make them perfect in every good Word and Work?
A30412And then he proposes the Objection, how that could be?
A30412And yet how does Sin and Vice abound in the World?
A30412But we desire to know what they think can be meant by these Words?
A30412D. S. asked him if we received Christ''s Body and Blood by our Senses?
A30412D. S. asked which of the senses, his Taste, or Touch, or Sight, for that seemed strange to him?
A30412D. S. said, He wondered to hear him speak so: Were not the Greek, the Armenian, the Nestorian, and the Abissen Churches separated from the Roman?
A30412Did ever Man in his Wits argue in this fashion?
A30412Does not the Gospel offer Grace to all Men to lead holy Lives, following the Commandments of God?
A30412Elijah''s bringing sometimes Fire and sometimes Rain from Heaven?
A30412From the Sixth Century downward what a race of Men have the Popes been?
A30412He asks how it was to be called after the Sanctification?
A30412How comes it then that for the first seven Ages there were no Heresies nor Hereticks about this?
A30412How many imaginary difficulties may one imagine might have obstructed the changing this Custom?
A30412How shall he satisfie those that interrogate him, or defend that which is written?
A30412In the end, when the Council had passed their Decree, does the method of their dispute alter?
A30412Is it not then a strange choice?
A30412Is there not then here a clear change?
A30412M. C. asked, why he called them so then?
A30412M. C. said, Then will you acknowledge that before that Oath was imposed the Pope was to be acknowledged?
A30412M. W. said, Did not the Greek Church reconcile it self to the Roman Church at the Council of Florence?
A30412One would expect to hear of tumults and stirs, and an universal conspiracy of all men to save this Right of their Children?
A30412S. P. T. said, Did not King Lucius write to the Pope upon his receiving the Christian Faith?
A30412Then he asks, where it was written, That the Son was like the Father in his Essence?
A30412This did, as it was no wonder, startle the Jews, so they murmured, and said, How can this Man give us his Flesh to eat?
A30412We know the pompous Objection against this, is, How comes it then that there are so many Errors and Divisions among Christians?
A30412What are they made who take it?
A30412Whom had they blame for all this but themselves?
A30412Would they have men changed into the nature of bruits?
A30412especially those that pretend the greatest Acquaintance with Scriptures?
A30412on these Words, The Bread which we brake, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ?
A30412or was this any thing but what would have been certainly done in the gentlest and mildest government upon earth?
A30412says, What is the Bread?
A30412what ● ● re the Apostles raising the dead, giving sight to the blind, and feet to the lanie?
A30412where shall he find a fit answer?
A30394And finally, what impious Doctrine hath been publickly licensed and printed in that Church of the degrees of the love we owe to God?
A30394And how like are their Jubilees and Pilgrimages to the Jubilees and yearly trotting up to Ierusalem, which was among the Iews?
A30394And how many Pilgrimages are made to her Shrines and Reliques?
A30394And shall I here tell what is known to all who have seen the forms of that Church?
A30394And what a goodly device is it, that their spittle must make one of the sacred Rites in Baptism?
A30394And what an unconceiveable mystery is the Treasure of the Church, and the Popes Authority to dispense it as he will?
A30394And what can be thought more uneasie for the World to have received, then the Popes absolute authority over all the Churches and States of the World?
A30394And who can have any sad apprehensions of sin, who is taught such an easie way of escaping punishment?
A30394And will the poor distinctions of Dulia and Latria save them from this guilt?
A30394Are they not taught to confide more in the Virgin, or their Tutelar Saints, than in the holiest of all?
A30394But further, if the Scripture be to be believed on the testimony of the Church, then upon what account is the Church first believed?
A30394But if the Philosophers were so much to seek in it, what shall we expect from the Vulgar?
A30394Did Christ by the Merits of his Passion acquire this honour at so dear a rate?
A30394Does any vestige of a Church- man remain in that Court?
A30394Doth not the fear of Purgatory damp the hopes of future blessedness?
A30394How cruel then is that Church, which addeth the severe sanction of an Anathema to all her decrees; even about the most trifling matters?
A30394How many holy days have they instituted?
A30394How many more Churches are built to her, than to her Son?
A30394How many more Worship her, then do her Son?
A30394How much distinction of meats, of fasting, and abstinence?
A30394How ridiculous are many of their miraculous narrations?
A30394How then shall it be proved that the Church must be believed?
A30394In Baptism, instead of washing with Water in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; how have they added so many adulterated Rites?
A30394Is not this brand plucked out of the fire?
A30394Is not this to add to the Words of that Book, and to accuse the faithful Witness of unfaithfulness?
A30394It is a goodly story for to tell of a Saint that walked so far after his head was cut off, with it in his arms, resting in some places to draw breath?
A30394Now all may know how guilty those of Rome are in this: What pains are taken to detract from the authority of the Scriptures?
A30394Now how contrary this is to the Divine Nature, common reason may suggest?
A30394Now, how little of this there is among them, we will soon be resolved in?
A30394Or, shall I tell of their Exorcisms and Charms for driving out Devils, with all the strange actions used in them?
A30394Shall I add to this, that throng of absurdities which croud about this opinion?
A30394Shall I add to this, the severity of some of their Orders, into which by unalterable Vows they are engaged their whole lives?
A30394Shall I add to this, the visible and gross secularity and grandeur, in which the Head, and other Prelates of that Church do live?
A30394Shall I mention the Reliques, and all the virtues believed to be in them, yea and derived from them?
A30394Shall I next shew to what a height of pride the exaltation of the Priestly dignity among them hath risen?
A30394Shall I next tell of the consecrating of Roses, Agnus Dei''s, Medals, and the like?
A30394Shall I tell of the laying up the Bodies when dead, and of the forms of their Burials?
A30394Shall I to this add all the private assassinations committed on that account, which were not only practised, but justified?
A30394What do the Popes about the feeding of souls?
A30394What enraged cruelty appeared against the poor Waldenses, for the separating from their Corruption?
A30394What low thoughts of his Person must it breed in such minds as are capable of believing this contrivance?
A30394What shall I tell of the whole Psalms turned to her?
A30394Whether doth all this look like the Simplicity of the Spouse of Christ or the Attire of the Harlot?
A30394Who can look on the lives of the late Saints of that Church, without nausea?
A30394and do they not directly rule in the Spirit of the Lords of the Gentiles?
A30394and shall we for whom he suffered, rob him so injuriously and sacrilegiously of his honour, and bestow it on these who are our fellow- servants?
A30394how many of all Sexes and Ages, were cruelly butchered down by the procurement of the Rulers of that Church?
A30394how they quarrel?
A30394or dispence the Sacraments?
A30394or must it be taken from their own word?
A30394or what communion can they hold one with another?
A30394when do they preach the Gospel?
A664368.?
A66436All that he has to say to this, is, Will he deny positively and directly, that the Lord Christ is a God by Representation and Office?
A66436All the question is, who is the Lord that thus saith of himself, I am Alpha and Omega,& c?
A66436And besides, do n''t those Socinians that worship our Saviour, affirm that they worship him as God?
A66436And can any Divine Appointment make that not to be Idolatry, which in its nature is so?
A66436And do n''t they then equal him to God, when they pray to him?
A66436And he adds, May we not have such a Notion of an infinite Attribute?
A66436And how doth that differ from the modelling and changing all things in Heaven and Earth, to a new and better estate?
A66436And if any one should ask what is the difference?
A66436And is not that Idolatry, to give to a Creature the Worship belonging to the Creator?
A66436And then he smartly returns upon him, How, Sir, is that a good Consequence, or any Consequence at all?
A66436And then how comes he before to acknowledge the Truth of that saying of his Lordship''s, that we can not comprehend the least Spire of Grass?
A66436And to close the Objection, Do you not then give the like, nay the same Honour to Christ as to God?
A66436And what a presumption would it be in a Creature that had a beginning, to say of himself, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last?
A66436And what advantage could they have from him that was to come into the world for the Redemption of Mankind 4000, 3000,& c. years after?
A66436And what is it to worship him as God, but to give him Divine Worship?
A66436And when the Son is called God in Scripture, what is the difference between God the Son, and the Son that is God?
A66436And where doth the Absurdity lie?
A66436As if I would ask, What is an infinite Attribute?
A66436But I do not see how it follows, that if he is from himself, he must be before he was?
A66436But after all, is this a Misrepresentation?
A66436But his Grace saith, This Gospel was wrote against Cerinthus; and then, saith our Author, how came the Cerinthians to use it?
A66436But his Grace will say perhaps, Why?
A66436But how came that word Existence in?
A66436But how can the Being of a Creature be commensurate to all the several respects of Duration, past, present, and to come?
A66436But is no such person ever mentioned in Scripture, as God the Son?
A66436But is not Prayer a part of Divine Worship, and peculiar to God?
A66436But is not this to equal him with God, to whom alone we are taught to direct our Prayers?
A66436But may he urge, Do n''t you acknowledge the Son of God to be God?
A66436But what a v ● st solitude was there, a Chasm of 4000 years before his Birth and Being?
A66436But what do they understand by the Word, when the Word is said to be made Flesh?
A66436But what doth our Author mean?
A66436But what if those Proofs run no higher than Arianism?
A66436But what then will become of the other Evangelists?
A66436But where are those Texts that expresly say, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry?
A66436But where is the Contradiction?
A66436But why Some?
A66436But will he say, Is not this all one, when he that suffer''d and died, is, in our opinion, God as well as Man?
A66436Did never any Vnitarians or Socinians give Honour and Worship, a like and even the same to Christ as to the Father?
A66436Do we understand Infinity, a Spirit, or Eternity, the better for all this?
A66436Do you not pray to Christ?
A66436Doth the Archbishop reason from the Context?
A66436For Duration is a continuance of Time; but what Duration was there in Eternity, before there was any Time, or God began to operate and make the World?
A66436For if the Books that are the Text of it are so mangled, what certainty is there left about any part of it?
A66436For what Heresy is there in simple Poverty?
A66436For what Succession was there before the Creation of the World?
A66436For what doth he say, but what they have said before him?
A66436For what else is the effect of his Doctrine of Succession in God, and passing from one Duration to another?
A66436For would you know who those are that he proclaims War against?
A66436For, Might not the Jews then reply, So Abraham was before Adam, and so both Abraham and Adam were before the World?
A66436For, is there any word leaning this way?
A66436For, saith he, What makes him[ the Bishop] say, God must be from himself, or self- originated?
A66436Had he no way to defend his New Mysteries, but by espousing the Cause of the Atheists?
A66436Have there been no Christians in the World for 1500 Years, but only the Arians and Trinitarians?
A66436He demands, saith he, when did this Ascension of our Saviour into Heaven happen?
A66436How doth he argue against it from the Weakness of the Socinian attempts to prove it, and for which in effect they have nothing to say?
A66436How from the inconsistency of it with Scripture?
A66436How is the Scene changed upon this?
A66436How then can he say that his Grace can raise- the expressions no higher than Arianism?
A66436Is that Charge a Device of the Trinitarians?
A66436Let us suppose this, what is it then they deny?
A66436Must they be excluded out of the number of the Canonical?
A66436Now supposing it so to be, Why must it thus be supplied?
A66436Now the question will be, Whether St. John hath used them by chance, as our Author imagines?
A66436Now this is more than his Adversary charges them with: But what do they mean?
A66436Or was Socinus the first( for that( it may be) was his Grace''s meaning) who departed from the Arian and Trinitarian Sense of the Context?
A66436Or why may it not be said, Before Abraham was, I was in being?
A66436Or will it prove that the Gospel is a Valentinian, a Cerinthian, or Gnostick Gospel?
A66436Supposing it to be so*, what will follow?
A66436That is, Was''t thou coexistent with him, and born in his time, who has been so long dead?
A66436The first is,''That if God was for ever, he must be from himself; and what Notion can we have in our minds concerning it?
A66436This, I am sure is nothing to the purpose; for what is this to the Pre existence of our Saviour, the present subject of the Discourse?
A66436To this they captiously object, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
A66436To what purpose is this?
A66436What Eternity?
A66436What Service could he challenge from them, when he himself lay in the Embrio of nothing?
A66436What if Ebion at last is found to be a Person?
A66436What is a Spirit?
A66436What is it then his Grace alledges this Text for?
A66436What is the Word but the Son of God, and when the Word and the Son are the same, what is the difference between God the Word, and God the Son?
A66436What is this brought to prove?
A66436What more plain, if his Argument be true, than that there can be no personal Union between the Soul and Body, such distant extremes?
A66436Where is it expresly said in that, or any other Text, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry?
A66436Where the Angels and Heavenly Powers that were put under his direction, and by him employed in defence and succor of the faithful?
A66436Where was the Paganism and Idolatry he in that dismal Interval abolished?
A66436Who are the Ancient Unitarians, that our Author at all times speaks so venerably of, and that thus rejected the Books usually ascribed to St. John?
A66436Whom makest thou thy self?
A66436Why so?
A66436Will it prove Cerinthus to be the Author of that Gospel?
A66436Would this prove what was to be proved, That he that was not fifty years old, had seen Abraham, or that he was Co- existent with Abraham?
A66436and in what a condition was the whole World of Intelligent Beings, till our Saviours Resurrection and Ascension?
A66436and yet knew not the time or day of Judgment?
A66436p. 57. which he more largely prosecutes, p. 64,& c. What saith our Author to this?
A30349And Epiphanius charges Aerius with this of rejecting all Prayers for the Dead, asking why were they prayed for?
A30349And finally, Whether the Decisions of Councils must be Unanimous, before they can be esteemed Infallible?
A30349And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A30349And if she alone has them, so that no other Church has them equally with her or beyond her?
A30349And next, Whether it belongs to the Church which they call Infallible, or not?
A30349And then another very intricate Question will arise upon the whole, Whether they must all be found together?
A30349And what share the Laity, or the Princes that are thought to represent their People, ought to have in a Council?
A30349And whether Nations ought to Vote in a Body as Integral Parts of the Church; or of every single Bishop by himself?
A30349And whether the Bishop might Anoint with it?
A30349And whether the Popes proceeded against them with too much Violence or not?
A30349Another question may arise out of the first words of this Article, concerning the Visibility of this Church; Whether it must be always Visible?
A30349Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
A30349As for the adoring them, when Vigilantius asked, Why dost thou Kiss and Adore a little Dust put up in fine Linnen?
A30349But can this be thought fair dealing?
A30349But out of which of these Topicks can one hope to fetch out an Assurance of the Infallibility of such a Body?
A30349But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
A30349Can it be thought that the assuming a Name can be a Mark?
A30349Can no Body of Men continue long in the constant Series, and with much Prosperity, but must they be concluded to be Infallible?
A30349Does it look like honest Men to write thus; not to say, Men Inspired in what they Preached and Writ?
A30349For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
A30349He puts a Question to shew that all Sacrifices were now to cease; When the Worshippers are once purged, then would not Sacrifices cease to be offered?
A30349He says, Why do not ye take wrong?
A30349Here a Controversie does naturally arise, that wise People are unwilling to meddle with, What Articles are Fundamental, and what are not?
A30349How far Simony voids it, and who is the competent Judge of that; or who shall judge in the Case of two different Elections, which has often happened?
A30349How often would I have gathered you under my wings, but ye would not?
A30349If all these must be discussed before we can settle this Question, Which is the true Infallible Church?
A30349Invocation and Faith are joyned together: How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
A30349Nor are we to go into that other Question; Whether any that are only in a state of Nature, live fully up to its Light?
A30349Nor can it be thought that Grace is so efficacious of it self, as to determine us; otherwise why are we required not to grieve God''s Spirit?
A30349Now the Question was, How these were to be understood?
A30349Or if his Providence follows the motions of the Will?
A30349Or whether the Major Vote, though exceeding only by One, or if some greater Inequality is necessary; such as Two Thirds, or any other Proportion?
A30349Or whether they are bound to Discuss Matters fully?
A30349Our Saviour said to him that asked, What he should do that he might have eternal life?
A30349St. Chrysostom on these words the Bread that we break, says, What is the bread?
A30349That Question, Who made thee to differ?
A30349The Body of Christ: What are they made to be who take it?
A30349The First is, Whether both God and Christ intended that Christ should only dye for that particular number whom God intended to save?
A30349The Imaginations of man''s thoughts are only evil continually: What man is he that liveth and sinneth not?
A30349The just man falleth seven times a day: The heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?
A30349The matter at present under debate is only, Whether it is one of the Laws of God or not?
A30349The only difficulty remaining, is concerning those who never heard of this Religion, Whether, or How can they be saved?
A30349The same S. Paul says, How can they call on him in whom they have not believed?
A30349The second Point is, Whether these Good Works are of their own nature meritorious of Eternal Life, or not?
A30349There is a further Question made, Whether this Vicious Inclination is a Sin, or not?
A30349Therefore there can be no other way taken here, but to examine first, What makes a particular Church?
A30349They ask, What sense can such words bear, if we can believe that God did by an Absolute Decree reprobate so many of them?
A30349This they also found on these words of St. Paul, The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?
A30349This, I say, is the Question: Whether they did not assume this Authority as a Power given them by God?
A30349Thus the High- Priest put our Saviour under the Oath of Cursing, when he required him to tell, Whether he was the Messias or not?
A30349Upon this it may reasonably be asked, Were these Writings clear in that Age, or were they not?
A30349We must also have a certain Rule to know when the Popes judge as private Persons, and when they judge Infallibly?
A30349What is the Grace produced by the Sacrament?
A30349What more could I have done in my vineyard, that has not been done in it?
A30349What then can we think of a Justice that shall condemn us for a Fact that we never committed, and that was done many Years before we were born?
A30349When one asked him which was the great Commandment, he answered, How readest thou?
A30349Why is it said, Ye do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye?
A30349Why is not the Name Christian as solemn as Catholick?
A30349With whom they must consult, and what Solemnities are necessary to make them speak ex Cathedra, or Infallibly?
A30349and how can they hear without a Preacher?
A30349and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive?
A30349now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
A30349or, How many, or which of them together, will give us the entire Characters of the Infallible Church?
A30349the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
A30349why do not ye suffer your selves to be defrauded?
A3047814. all who were against him in that Field, were declared innocent, and his slaughter was declared to be his own fault, which was never rescinded?

A30478And dare you say, Isotimus, that these were a stupid self- murdering Crew?
A30478And do not your Ministers thus tyrannize over their Elders?

A30478And in the Paschal Festivity alone, how many new Rites do we find?
A30478And is not this to Lord it over your Brethren?

A30478And what will all you shall say avail?

A30478And who thinks the King of Naples the Popes Subject, tho he receive his Investiture in that Crown from him?
A30478And why but one Elder from every Presbytery, when three Ministers go to the National Synod?
A30478And why but one deputed from them?
A30478And why must it renounce its priviledg to such a number of Church- men cast in such a Classis by a humane power?
A30478And, pra ●, whether had this more of the cruelty of Antichrist, or of the meekness of IESUS?
A30478Are the Maurs, the Marcomans, or the Parthians themselves, or any Nations shut up within their own Country or bounds, more than the whole World?
A30478As likewise, where find you a divine Warrant for your delegating Commissioners to Synods?
A30478Besides, what is the end of all Societies, but mutual Protection?
A30478But did that satisfie?
A30478But did this satisfie the zeal of that party?
A30478But how far have we fallen from that lovely Pattern?
A30478But how vastly differs our Case from this?
A30478But if there was no vestige of Prelacy before the year 140 in which it first appeared, what time will you allow for its spreading through the World?
A30478But is it not strange, that some who were then zealous to condemn these Innovations, should now be carried with the herd to be guilty of them?
A30478But let us now come home to Scotland, and examine whether the King be an accountable Prince, or not?
A30478But now consider if an unjust motive or narrative in a Law, deliver tender consciences from an obligation to obey it, or not?

A30478Did he not also continue in the Temple Worship, and go thither on their festivities?
A30478Did not the People at first choose Princes for their Protection?

A30478How came the Eclipse of the Church to a total Obscuration in one minute?
A30478How long shall our Nadabs and Ab ● hus burn this wild- fire on the Altar of GOD, whose flames should be peaceful, and such as descend from Heaven?
A30478How many Churches did these Bishops found with their labors in preaching, and water not only with their tears, but their blood?
A30478I acknowledge a Bishop may be tyrannical, and become a great burden to his Presbyters; but, pray, may not the same be apprehended from Synods?
A30478Is it not a pretty thing to see one talk so superciliously of things he knows not?
A30478Is it not enough that the Magistrate be not resisted?
A30478Is there any arrogance in the World like this?

A30478The third examines the grounds and progress of the late Wars, whether they were Defensive or Invasive, and what Spirit did then prevail?
A30478Three things yet remain to be discussed: The one is, if obedience be due to the Laws, when they command things contrary to our consciences?
A30478Was ever greater contempt put on the largest offers of grace and favor?
A30478Was not this an Encroachment on them?

A30478that the people of Israel rescued Jonathan from his fathers bloody sentence against him, and swore he should not die?
A30478which gives a clear Evidence, that the People might coërce him: Otherwise why was that Law delivered to the People?

A30388And here we seek again, who were these quidams that laid Hands on Scory?
A30388And how doth he confute him?
A30388And if they were Rebels, especially for Heresie, why did the most Christian King support them?
A30388And tell me in good sooth, Mr. Waddesworth, do you approve such barbarous Cruelty?
A30388And therefore it is a Question which I will never take upon me to answer, Whether King Henry were such or no?
A30388And who knows not, that sometimes the change of a Letter, yea, of a Point or Accent, makes the whole sentence of another meaning?
A30388As for these vain flourishes of mine, if he had not taken a veny in them, and found it smart, he had not strook again so ‖ churlishly?
A30388As thus, whether Babylon pretending to be the Church of Rome, yea the Catholick Church, be so or not?
A30388As to grant Peter the temporal Sword, but so, as he must not use it Quid tu gladium denuo usurpare tentes, quem semel jussus es ponere in vaginam?
A30388As to your demand therefore, how you should be sure when, and wherein they did, and did not err; where you should have fixed your foot?
A30388Besides, Is my conceit ever consonant with truth?

A30388But tell me for Gods love, Master Waddesworth, is it likely that this Monarchy thus sought, thus gotten, thus kept, thus exercised, is of God?
A30388But what hath he done in the Parishes already committed to him, for the instruction of the Irish, that we should commit another unto him?
A30388But what violence was this that you speak of?
A30388But when the Bishop asked him, How he came to make so unjust a Decree?
A30388But whence is this my contempt?
A30388But who shall be the Judge of that?
A30388By which the Pope while he seeks the name of the Shepherd, shuts himself out of Christs ● old?
A30388Can I be excused another day, with this, that thus it was ere I came to this place, and that it is not good to be over just?
A30388Do I approve of tolerations and unions with errours and heresies?
A30388Do not these and many more hold the Catholick Faith received from the Apostles, as well as the Church of Rome?
A30388Do we not see that even natural Brethren do sometimes defie one another, and use each other with less respect than strangers?
A30388Do you allow the Butchery at Paris?

A30388For who can make any Foundation upon what another would do in his Cups?
A30388Good Master Bedell, WHat a sorry crabb hath Mr. Waddesworth at last sent us from Sevil?

A30388He adds there, that Paul that he might declare the fulness of power, writing to the Corinthians saith: Know ye not that ye shall judge the Angels?
A30388Hereupon I was occasioned to doubt, Whether the Church of England were the true Church, or not?
A30388His name?
A30388How are you sure?
A30388How could I approve to mine own Soul, that I loved you, if I suffered you to enjoy your own error, suppose not damnable?
A30388How so?
A30388I pray was this Man a good Head of Gods Church?
A30388If he will send you to his Word?
A30388If that be your resolution, what should we use any more Words?
A30388If those had not satisfied you, what could I hope to add to them?
A30388If we our selves have the anointing, we shall be able as we are bidden to try the Spirits, whether they be of God or no?
A30388Is it Catholick and Apostolick only?
A30388Is it not evil to go from the Popes obedience?
A30388Is it only antient?
A30388Is this then the Popes plenitude of Power, to judge secular things?
A30388Let us come to those that he should have ordained, what were their names?
A30388Man, who made me a divider to you?
A30388Nay doth not the writing it self of such Books shew, that this matter was wholly unknown to Antiquity?
A30388Now mark the Rejoinder that is made to him by Iohannes Marsilius, who numbering up his errors in the defence of every Proposition, roundly tells him?
A30388Of the former I must acquit my self; Cujus unum est sed magnum vitium Poesis: What were I the worse if I were still a lover of those studies?
A30388Or I beseech you, why is that accounted Treason against the State in Catholicks, which is called Reason of State in Protestants?
A30388Or is not he a Catholick that holds the Catholick Faith?
A30388Or, sith I am perswaded Mr. Cooke''s Patent is unjust and void, am I not bound to make it so?
A30388Out of these and such like Confessions on either side, my nameless Adversary will needs inforce, with great pomp and triumph; What think ye?

A30388Quare?

A30388Tell us then, who made you secure of these things?
A30388That Dr. Bancroft being demanded of Mr. Alablaster, whence their first Bishops received their Orders?
A30388The Creed whereinto you were baptized, is it not the Catholick Faith?
A30388The Fathers that dealt with them, why did they not lay aside all disputing, and appeal them only to this Barr?
A30388There was never any Age wherein there have not been Heresies, and Sects: to which of them was it ever objected that they had no infallible Judge?
A30388This was not unlike what the same person delivered in another Sermon preaching upon Pilate''s Question, What is Truth?
A30388To what purpose?

A30388if this be the condition of a Bishop, that he standeth for a Cypher, and only to uphold the Wrongs of other Men, What do I in this place?
A30388or Epiphanius and Chrysostomes, or Victors and the Greek Bishops?

A30390And what order was there in Families, morning and evening?
A30390And what strange doctrine is it, to tax an obedience to the Laws of the Kingdom( when in our consciences we can so do) as time- serving?
A30390And who should expect, that they who are so much against reverence to Sacred Houses, should likewise be against private Sacraments?
A30390And who taught you to separate it from the rest of the solemn worship, and not have it every Lords day?
A30390And why may not a Church- man officiat in a Surplice, as well as a penitent put on Sack- cloath?
A30390And ● ow unhandsome is it, that we will not testifie that reverence to God, we would shew to a man, were ● he but a few degrees above us?
A30390And, first, what a ridiculous fancy is it, to say, Children can be bound by their fathers Oath?
A30390And, first, why do not your Ministers join with our Courts for Church- discipline?
A30390As also, whether is it liker, that the Church then, alwayes in the fire of persecution, was purer then she is now?
A30390As for their persons and Gifts, where is Christian charity, that should make you slow to take up a bad impression upon slight grounds?
A30390As for your National Covenant, what a cruel imposing upon Consciences was it, to make a Nation swear an Oath, which they could not understand?
A30390Beside, are not your Meeter Psalms a device of men?
A30390Beside, where was it ever heard of, ● hat a Church- office was taken from any, without ● fault?
A30390Besides, who told you that all David''s Psalms were to be constantly used in Worship?
A30390But as for your Discipline, what warrand of Scripture have you for it?
A30390But further, in what place of Scripture read you your classical Subordination of Sessions to Presbyteries,& c?
A30390But how little were you in secret reproving faults?
A30390But if your grounds be good, where is your charity to the Church?
A30390But waving this, whether judge you the Presbyters power for Discipline is founded upon a Divine Law, or upon the Act of Parliament?
A30390But what can you pretend, for your peoples withdrawing from our Churches?
A30390But what great things of devotion, or holinesse, appear amongst you?
A30390But what unchristian work is it, thus to disgrace us?
A30390But why do you not believe the prayer composed by the Church, to be of the Spirits dictating, as well as that of your Ministers?
A30390But, are not most of you Apostates, Changlings, and Time- servers?
A30390But, how little reason will suffice to let a man see through that canting?
A30390But, who told you, it was in the Fathers Commission?
A30390C. And why may not you have a Directory for words, as well as things?
A30390C. God forbid but he be?
A30390C. Next, why wanted you Evangelists, since there are still men who have peculiar eminencies in preaching?
A30390C. This is like you, still to devise fancies against expresse Scripture; where sayes the Scripture, that was done to please the Jews?
A30390C. This ought to be the great design of our lives; for, wherein shall it avail us, if we shall gain the whole world, and lose our own souls?
A30390C. Truly I am sorry, I saw so little of it: what ● rreverence is it, that when prayer is in the ● hurch, most of you ● it on your breeches?
A30390C. Whether do you think it fitter in the Mysteries of ● aith to keep close to ● ● rms of Scripture or not?
A30390C. Who would not be sick with such pitiful folly?
A30390C. Why then doth he not determine how his Church should be governed, as to the civil matter, since Justice is a part of his Law, as well as devotion?
A30390Do you think prayer for a blessing, is not a prayer?
A30390Finally, what cruelty is it, if a Minister be put from his place, be it justly or unjustly, that the people should be starved?
A30390For your grea ● men, how strangely did they involve themselve ● in all businesses?
A30390Further, let one with a short- hand, follow that mans prayer, who you say prayes by the Spirit; then, may not that prayer be read and used over again?
A30390God bless me from the pride of comparing my self with these worthies, who were honoured to convert the world, and to die for the truth?
A30390How are all things there?
A30390How did the Apostle St. Paul become a Iew to the Iews?
A30390How fierce were you one against another, in your Papers, Sermons, and Prayers?
A30390How much good preaching there was amongst us?
A30390How often was that sacred Prince charged with Popery, Tyranny, and the Massacre of Ireland?
A30390How patent a way otherwise may this prove, for venting and broaching errours, and heresies?
A30390How well was the Sabbath observed amongst us?
A30390I shall end all this with an instance of great importance, who taught you the change of the Sabbath?
A30390I. SHall that which was design''d to end our toils, Increase our flames, and raise new broils; And must we triumph in our Brethrens spoils?
A30390In word, what jealousies had you justly raised in th ● hearts of Princes, of your Government?
A30390Is this the moderation you so much pro ● esse?
A30390Let me then examine you a little, how do you know your opinions are truths?
A30390Looks not this like the spirit of the Devil?
A30390May they not as well exercise Discipline, though they can not do it with all the liberty they desire?
A30390Must Rome be damn''d as Antichrist, Because it to unerring Chair pretends; And forth as Oracles its dictates sends?
A30390N. But all this is still contrary to the holy men of God: What sad complaints are in the Psalms and Prophets, and chiefly in the Lamentations?
A30390N. But are not we bound to duty to the King, because of the Allegeance our fathers swore, even though we never swear it our selves?
A30390N. But did not the Bohemians, under Zisca, fight and resist when the Challice was denied them?
A30390N. But doth not the Spirit help our infirmities, and teach us to pray?
A30390N. But how must we enter into that state of divine union?
A30390N. But how was Adam oblidged for his Posterity, if Parents can not binde their children?
A30390N. But if that was Rebellion, how did the late King of Britain give assistance to the Rochellers in the last Wars?
A30390N. But if we think you are wrong, can we joyn with you?
A30390N. But nothing of this can be alledged to palliat the French civil Wars?
A30390N. But what a confusion is it, that all say some of the prayers together, and use Amen?
A30390N. But what can you say for kneeling in receiving?
A30390N. But what say you to the Elders that rule well?
A30390N. But what vain repetitions are in the Liturgy?
A30390N. But why do not you sit?
A30390N. But why must it be done only by a Bishop ▪ as if it were beyond Baptism?
A30390N. Call you fighting for God and his Cause, rebellion?
A30390N. Did you never observe the great devotion ● our worship?
A30390N. Do you not wonder at my patience, who hear you inveigh so bitterly against us?
A30390N. Doth not the fathers debt oblidge the son?
A30390N. How can we acknowledg them our Pastors, who are intruders, and are in the places of our faithful shepherds, whom you have torn from us?
A30390N. How can we neglect the interests of Christ, and let them ruine, when we are in a capacity to defend them?
A30390N. How can you deny, that what is now cried down, was the work of God?
A30390N. How can you speak so, was not sin strangely born down in our dayes?
A30390N. How did they of Antioch send up to these at Ierusalem?
A30390N. How then do Parents vow for their children in Baptism?
A30390N. How then is Saul charged, and his children punished for killing the Gibeonites?
A30390N. How then must I examine any perswasion, to know if it be conscience, or not?
A30390N. I had resolved to have objected that to you, and I am sure we can not be guilty of it, since there is nothing we hate more?
A30390N. I see you are for set- forms: but what reason have you for them?
A30390N. I think this is very clear, but why do not you use the terms of the Protestant ● Church?
A30390N. Is this all then that is required to accomplish a Christian?
A30390N. No, no, but oh how doth my heart melt within me, when I remember how sweetly I have heard the Ministers there, clear up my interest in Christ?
A30390N. Now you tax us for what we were very free of: Was ever sin so boldly reproved, as in our Pulpits?
A30390N. The law of nature teacheth us to defend our selves, and so there is no need of Scripture for it?
A30390N. Well, but why do you remember bygones?
A30390N. Well, is not this a Popish Sacrament which you would bring into the Church?
A30390N. Well, what make you of all this?
A30390N. What can you say for holy dayes?
A30390N. What mean you by this converse with God?
A30390N. What say you of his Devotions, both private and publick?
A30390N. What say you then to these who died sealing their opinion, fighting for Religion, with their blood?
A30390N. What say you to the War in the Netherlands?
A30390N. What sort of devout men could these be?
A30390N. What then are the methods to be used by one that would lead a spiritual life?
A30390N. What then conclude you from all this; is it that the English Liturgy be brought in?
A30390N. What then is the great scope and design of Christian Religion?
A30390N. What then make you of them, since you d ● not allow them to be spiritual doctrine?
A30390N. What ● ay you of Justification by faith only?
A30390N. Wherein consists that sweetness you say is to be found in divine converse?
A30390N. Wherein could Episcopacy have been mor ● for the good of Scotland?
A30390N. Who can doubt of it?
A30390N. Whoever may object that, you may be silent; for what severity have we felt?
A30390N. Why do not you use it, since you can not refuse the Scripture more than we?
A30390N. You have sufficiently vindicated your self of Popery, but are you not Arminians?
A30390Next, How did your Leaders complain of Bishops their medling in matters of State: and yet when the Scene turned, how absolutely did they govern?
A30390Next, how want you Deacons?
A30390Next, in your Worship, why do you not kisse one another with a holy kisse?
A30390Next, why use you not washing of feet, since there is no Sacrament set down more punctually in Scripture?
A30390Now as to our publick transgressions( if they be such) we are all equally guilty, why then make you a difference?
A30390Now, if St. Paul did this freely, both to Jew and Gentile, are not you bound to more obedience, when not only charity, but duty to the Laws exact it?
A30390Now, tell me what are your quarrels at Episcopacy?
A30390Or do you think, the spirit is not stinted when the form is short, but only when it is long?
A30390Or, do you mean to lay aside the Scriptures?
A30390Psalm, in plain words, with a plain voice, as prayer, as well as in hobling ryme, with a Tune?
A30390Shall I not trust a man in any matter, without understanding how he will discharge it?
A30390Show me a reason why you may make prayers, and not praises?
A30390Then, what a tr ● pane was it, to make the Nation swear the Cov ● nant, and by an after- game to declare that Epi ● copacy was abjured in it?
A30390To conclude, why may not the Christian Church compose new Hymns, as they of Corinth did?
A30390Was not this for bread, to give them a stone?
A30390What fer ● our was on peoples mindes, when they heard Sermons?
A30390What heavenly prayers we poured out to God?
A30390What insolence was it, to assume bi ● names, of the godly party, and the people of God ● nd to call your way, The Cause and Kingdom o ● Christ?
A30390What man of common sense can thin ● this was the Cause of God, which had such mo ● struous errours in its first conception?
A30390Whether looks this like the Pharisees an ● Hypocrites, or not?
A30390Whether then, Is it not necessary to redress these abuses by a regular form?
A30390Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you?
A30390Who would not pity men who build upon such sandy foundations?
A30390Whom heard you preach against the love of the world, seeking of esteem, quarrelling, seeking of revenge, anxiety and passion?
A30390Why do you not therefore use this rite?
A30390Why may the Church impose such dayes of penitence, and not as well order all for the sins of the year to be in penitence all the time of Lent?
A30390Why then are ye so blind as to ● sk a reason for the change was made, as if at ● oon one should ask where were the Sun?
A30390Why then do not ye use the Glory to the Father?
A30390Why then do you not in this follow the express Scripture- rule?
A30390Why then do you not kneel or stand in Churches ● since you do so in secret, and in your Family- wor ● ship?
A30390],[ Edinburgh?
A30390and are not the spirits of the Prophets subject to the Prophets?
A30390and are not they bound by the Baptismal vow, taken by the father, in their name?
A30390and for the devotional part, who of you seem to live only to God, and consecrat your time and strength to divine exercises?
A30390and that Royal Family termed, the bloody- house?
A30390and truly a medling temper, look not like a devout one: but, what great spirituality appeared amongst most of them?
A30390and why in a place of repentance?
A30390and why not as well, if not rather in the one nor in the other?
A30390and why the use of Sack- cloath sometimes?
A30390are not our gracious Ministers taken from us?
A30390are you such a stranger in Israel, as not to know these things?
A30390beside, you who alwayes call for Scripture, ought quickly to be convinced here?
A30390bring Scripture for it?
A30390can any man make dayes holy?
A30390do not you think it a great matter, to take from us the pure and spiritual Worship of God, and in stead thereof, set up a dea ● and formal Liturgy?
A30390do not you think it sad, that Christ is not Preached?
A30390doth not that tacitly accuse God, as if he did not mind his Church as he ought?
A30390give away your goods to the poor?
A30390how have these words you dropt last united my heart to you?
A30390how many Ministers are turned out, and people oppressed for not owning you?
A30390how often redouble they, Lord have mercy upon us?
A30390how shall these pangs be recompensed, when we have broke thorow, and got into the blessed shades of the Garden of God?
A30390is not this the device of men?
A30390is not this to make us the servants of men, and to give them authority over our consciences; which is Gods peculiar power?
A30390is this ● o approach unto God with the reverence be ● omes dust and ashes?
A30390no doubt, you will say, the first: well then, can the abolishing that Act of Parliament take away your power?
A30390or doth it not imply if we were of his council, we could adjust things better?
A30390or what could th ● Kings reason be, for preferring it to Presbytery at least for judging it fitter for us?
A30390or, is the Spirit in the prayer so volatile, that it evaporats in the saying, and the prayer becomes carnal when it is repeated?
A30390since our Saviour did institute this rite in the Table- gesture?
A30390who are mortifying themselves even in the lawfull pleasures of sense?
A30390who are willing to be set at nought?
A30390who bear crosses without murmurings?
A30390who bear injuries without resentments and revenge?
A30390who of you despise the world?
A30390why do you not anoint the sick with oyl, as St. Iames commandeth?
A30390why not also his oath?
A30390why should they be confined to one charge, and not to be made to preach over a countrey, as they shall be called?
A30390why then are we to vex our selves with any anxiety?
A338422. Who shall be Governour or Governours?
A33842A Child for a Father, a Protestant for a Papist?
A33842A People thus harassed and beset, one would have thought had been consigned to Ruin and Destruction; for where could our Deliverance begin?
A33842A heavy Tax must be laid upon the Nation, to defray the Charge of this Expedition: Why, Sir, Are you of the Privy C ● uncil to the Prince?
A33842Ah, good Soul, what''s the matter?
A33842And I pray what harm befel him from this change?
A33842And by what Laws or Rules they shall govern, who are entrusted with the Supreme Power?
A33842And does not all Christendom in general, and the English Nation in particular, look upon that great Man of France as a Common Enemy?
A33842And how have the good Laws, to suppress and prevent Popery, been very much obstructed in their Execution by Popish Influence?
A33842And if he be a King, doth not this suppose that he hath some Subjects?
A33842And if it be not laps''d, how can the Throne be said to be vacant?
A33842And if so, I would gladly know what kind of Subjects they are who owe no Allegiance?
A33842And if the Nation could not do better, whether this their Action does not justify it self?
A33842And if these must be paid by us, how are they satisfied by him?
A33842And indeed what could a generous Prince acknowledg, or a Priviledg- asserting Subject desire more?
A33842And is it not as Antichristian for any Assembly to put it into Practice, as it was for the Council of Lateran at first to establish it?
A33842And is it now become a Scruple in those same Consciences, to be confirm''d in those Rights,& c. by the same Arms and Power?
A33842And is not the Deposing a Popish Doctrine?
A33842And now, Sir, I can not but ask you, What grounds there are for any Mens Jealousies of the Bishops Proceedings?
A33842And shall this be pleaded by those Men who so vigorously have acted against it, when in its own Nature it is so destructive of the Civil Peace?
A33842And then, What will become of all that is dear unto us, Religion, Lives, Liberties, and Estates?
A33842And was all this contrary to the avowed Doctrines of our Church, of which she was the Defender?
A33842And was he not limited before?
A33842And was it decent, when his own People forsook him, that he should be left at the Discretion of the Rabble?
A33842And what Figure will they pretend to make, when they set up for a separate Interest from all the Confederate Protestants in the World besides?
A33842And what a Desolation, and what Advantage to the Hereticks must this occasion?
A33842And what are the Ends they are driving on?
A33842And what treatment can such Sham- Protestants expect from these, who otherwise would have become their Friends and Allies?
A33842And who shall take Advantage of the Forfeiture?
A33842And who was it that protected the Netherlands against the Violence and Usurpations of the Spanish Monarch?
A33842And without his Protection, what wou''d have become of us?
A33842Are the Judges all bound in an Oath, and by their Places, to break the 13 th of the Romans?
A33842Are these the Men of Character, Prudence, Ability, Integrity, or of Conscience either?
A33842Are they generous and honorable?
A33842Are they just and good?
A33842Are ye afraid to give a Testimony,& c?
A33842Are ye ashamed of your Principles?
A33842As soon as the Prince was landed, with what Joy and universal good Wishes was the News received?
A33842Ay, but what was it that encouraged these Violences?
A33842But do you not know when, and by whom this Principle was exploded, whilst some were prosecuted for meer Matters of Worship?
A33842But how airy is it to fancy, that any Restrictions of our Contrivance can bind the King?
A33842But let me take the Boldness to ask your Honour one Question; Is there no time when compassion is due to the Country?
A33842But may not Parliaments secure us by Laws and Provisions restraining the Power which endangers us?
A33842But now, how contrary is this to those new Models, which some politick Architects are proposing to, or rather imposing upon the Nation?
A33842But quid verba audiam cum facta videam, to what purpose are Words when we see Facts?
A33842But shall we run( says he) into Popery, and perhaps Slavery too?
A33842But what Factions do you observe, but such as they themselves do foment, on purpose to disturb our Harmony?
A33842But what''s the meaning of Power being founded only on a positive Law, and Liberty upon the Law of Nature?
A33842But whence come these Apprensions to be lessened?
A33842But, alas, they love their Country too dearly to leave it: what is it in England they love?
A33842But, what Retribution can We make to your Highness?
A33842Did Queen Elizabeth or King Iames I owe all their Authority to the Parliaments which recognized their respective Rights?
A33842Did ever 40000 Men in any other part of the World ever before endeavour to do what they themselves had proved to be impossible?
A33842Did ever any Government upon the Pretence of Conscience dispence with Disobedience in Things necessary to its Establishment?
A33842Did he tell your Reverence he would be limited?
A33842Did they not do so in Henry the Eight''s time, when they were generally such?
A33842Do they bind our Hands, so that if we are invaded we may not crave the like Protection?
A33842Do''s any Man think the Prince of Orange would have had the same gentle Treatment from the King, had he been in like manner under his Power?
A33842Does he not in a Letter lately printed here, expresly say he has ruled so, as to give no occasion of complaint to any of his Subjects?
A33842For Consent implies, that the Question must be put, Whether the Person will Abdicate or no?
A33842For if so, how is the Government laps''d?
A33842For, where is it said in Scripture, that such a Person or Family by Name shall enjoy it?
A33842Further still, If the King never dies by our Law, how can he be lawfully depos''d?
A33842Godfrey, and the Earl of Essex''s Murtherers?
A33842Good your Honour why?
A33842Have you, Sir, the keeping of all Mens Consciences; or the knowledg of their Thoughts?
A33842He allows the Charge, but says, What has all this to do with the King?
A33842How can you do these Things, and yet call your selves Protestants?
A33842How does the Discusser know, but that King Iames abdicated the Government because he could not have his Will of the Protestants?
A33842How forward were all sorts of People to declare for his Highness?
A33842How many Discontents, think you, may arise between the Nobility and Gentry, who attend the new Court?
A33842How many will be discontented in the new Court for want of Preferment?
A33842How shall any Oaths be sufficient Tests, when a private dispensation may at once allow the taking, and warrant the breaking of them?
A33842How therefore can your Highness, if a Roman Catholick, complain of the late successive Houses of Commons for pressing a Bill to exclude you?
A33842How willing were they to lend him an helping Hand for the accomplishing his great Work?
A33842I and who is there now that does not see it is not so?
A33842I would have this knowing Gentleman inform the World into what Hands the Regal Administration could be better put?
A33842If Temporal Punishments in Purgatory be yet due, how is all paid?
A33842If he be, Whether he can be truly for Liberty of Conscience?
A33842If so, and the Lawyers Rule be true,( Quod non est haeres Viventis) Then whether this Regal Power be Descended, so long as the King is Living?
A33842If that be done, Are we more secure from Slavery than now?
A33842If that be so; Then what Person, in this present Juncture of Affairs, is most proper to be therewith Invested?
A33842If the King; then an Act of Parliament may be destroyed without an Act of Parliament?
A33842If the latter; Are the Disorders such as must be laid to the Charge of the King, or to his Ministers, or both?
A33842If there be a Dissolution, Is it of the Constitution, or only of the Form of Administration?
A33842If to the King; Are they sufficient to depose him?
A33842In Page 5. he has this sharp Question, Let every Man ask himself, for what reason he became a party in this general Defection?
A33842Indeed what had he not done?
A33842Is is possible that our holy Society should not stand in the Breach, and prevent the Mischiefs that this difference may occasion in the Church?
A33842Is it any Disloyalty to endeavour to preserve the Imperial Crown of England from a truckling and shameful Servitude to a Foreign Usurper''s Power?
A33842Is it possible to have a Parliament?
A33842Is it without Reason, without Justice, without Precedent, that we desire to be everlastingly secur''d from Popery& Slavery?
A33842Is not a Father''s Power founded( as he grants) upon the Law of Nature?
A33842Is our Government dissolved, or is it not?
A33842Is the Government dissolved, or only under some Disorders?
A33842It becomes us too to ask where the King is?
A33842Lastly, Suppose the Prince had been Expelled by the King, Would the King have then granted us what he would not grant us now?
A33842Now to what purpose was all this, but to Subject the Kingdom to the Tyranny of the Pope?
A33842Oaths, Laws, and Promises we had before, but what did they signify?
A33842Of what Validity is a Iudgment pronounced( under a colour of Law) in B. R. against a Charter granted by Parliament?
A33842Or are they become as weary of their Delivery as they were before of Popery?
A33842Or his Temper be better?
A33842Or is it any such unheard of thing to debarr a Prince from a Throne, that hath obstinately disabled himself?
A33842Or what if she should scruple it hereafter, and place her Father in his Throne again?
A33842Or, will they sacrifice their Laws, Religion, old Foundations, and Free Parliaments to their Allegiance to their King?
A33842Popery, That utterly overthrows the Perfection of Christ''s satisfaction; for if all be not paid, how hath he satisfied?
A33842Should we but recollect how barefacedly he has been striking at the Northern Heresy ever since the Oxford Parliament; what Mercy could we expect?
A33842Should we submit in hopes of another Opportunity; Would he not settle a Correspondence with Male- contents at Home, and Foreign Princes Abroad?
A33842So that in fine the main of the Controversy lies here, Whether the late King did abdicate?
A33842That he is gone for France: but where, my Lords, should he go?
A33842The German ask''d, From whom?
A33842The Government being dissolved, what must the People do?
A33842The Reign of Queen Mary is another Scene of the Infidility and Treachery of the Church of Rome; what Oaths did she take?
A33842Then they asking him, why therefore was he not more sollicitous for the Conversion of his Daughters, Heirs of the Kingdom?
A33842To make this the more easy, yet it were fitting that every individual Person should be asked whether he had rather leave Country, or his Religion?
A33842To whom can these Grantees forfeit this Charter?
A33842Upon what other ground durst they raise Arms, seize upon his Royal Fort?
A33842V. Whether any ought to believe he will be for Liberty any longer than it serves his Turn?
A33842WHether any Real and Zealous Papist was ever for Liberty of Conscience?
A33842WHether the Legislative Power be in the King only, as in his Politick Capacity, or in the King, Lords, and Commons, in Parliament assembled?
A33842Was it any honest Mans meaning to subvert this Government, to make way for his own Dreams of some Poetical Golden- Age, or a Fanciful Millenium?

A33842Would he not have Disbanded his Protestant Army, and have kept the Irish Forces in Pay, and have every day encreased them?
A33842Would one of the Primitive Christians have talked thus, have stood for a Licinius against a Constantine?
A33842Would you fetter him by Laws?

A33842Your Highness perhaps will say — What though they did so, true Protestants, and the Church of England do not own such Principles?
A33842and admitting they should, whether the Circumstances of Affairs would not in a little time force them to a compliance with the House of Commons?

A33842must it be now inconsistent with the Principles of our Times?
A33842or are those Gentlemen so fond of the King, that they would now be contented to suffer all that Popery threatned so lately?
A33842or how will you answer this Horrid Scandal on his Sacred Memory, when you shall meet his glorified Spirit at the last dreadful Judgment- day?
A33842shall not that which may hinder Succession, justify in part a translating of it unto another?
A33842these have been, like Sampsons Cords, easily broken: Would you place him under Tutors and Governours?
A33842what do they fear?
A33842what inconstancy, folly, and madness possesses the Breasts of these Men?
A33842what shall we do if he break out again?
