| A40099 | And who knows not this? |
| A40099 | But how can Zeal for so good a thing as the Reformation of our Manners, be ever Ill- timed? |
| A40099 | For can there be a Nobler Design laid, than that which is directly and solely for the Advancement of the Publick Good? |
| A40099 | This is an exactly true, but imperfect Narrative of the undertaking of these Gentlemen; and is it possible it should need a Vindication? |

| A40091 | And, ● f we love not our Brother whom we have seen, how can we love God, whom we have not seen? |
| A40091 | Besides can People who live in the constant Transgression of the Kings Laws, be said to be Loyal men? |
| A40091 | But how can he who Fears not God thus submit and be obedient to the King? |

| A40098 | Are we our Selves, all our Powers, all our Opportunities for the Doing of them, from God? |
| A40098 | But doth not St. Paul say, It is good to be always zealously affected in a good thing? |
| A40098 | But who am I, and what is my People, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? |
| A40098 | Can you design any Secular Advantage, by being thus employed? |
| A40098 | Expense it brings upon you; but can it make you a Recompence for it, and for all your pains, by bringing in what the World calls Profit? |
| A40098 | Now, who is not able, at first fight, to perceive the mighty Force of the Obligation which ariseth from hence, to do all his Services as to the Lord? |
| A40098 | We shall be ready then to say, with those profane Jews, It is vain to Serve God; and what profit is it, that we have kept His Ordinances? |
| A40098 | because Thou art good; and what is God''s being good, but His delighting in Goodness? |

| A40086 | How then can it be thought such a Symbolizing with the Church of Rome as may warrant Separation from our Communion? |
| A40086 | If it be asked who is to Judge, what is agreeable or contrary to Holy Writ? |
| A40086 | Now, as to the former of these prohibited things, who seeth not that''t is Vnnatural, and therefore not indifferent? |
| A40086 | The Priest saith again, What shalt thou get by Faith? |
| A40086 | Whether the Church of Englands Symbolizing so far as it doth with the Church of Rome, makes Communion therewith Vnlawful? |

| A40072 | And where is he who will pretend to know how many Degrees, or Kinds of Unity are possible, or actually are? |

| A40072 | What is the Definition of God among all Divines and Philosophers? |
| A40096 | 32. where the Apostle saith, If after the manner of men, I have fought with Beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? |
| A40096 | 35,& c. But some man will say, how are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come? |
| A40096 | And He farther spake audibly these Words to him, Saul, Saul, Why persecutest thou Me? |
| A40096 | And shall not He chuse His own Way and Method? |
| A40096 | Can Faith save him? |
| A40096 | Do n''t we see that the Rotting of the Corn is so far from making it impossible that it should Spring up again, that''t is necessary thereto? |
| A40096 | Or why look ye so earnestly on us, as tho''by our own Power or Holiness we had made this Man to walk? |
| A40096 | Or, how can it be that Dead Bodies being Putrified and Rotten should be made to Revive, and what Kind of Bodies may we suppose they will be? |
| A40096 | Or, is any thing more Common, than things rising to life from Putrifaction? |
| A40096 | So that who is able to suspect such Witnesses as these, who is not as hardned an Infidel as the most Obdurate of our Lords Enemies? |

| A40096 | Ye men of Israel, said he, v. 12. why marvail ye at this? |
| A40097 | And how did they this? |
| A40097 | And what are we to think less of our Late Deliverance from Popery and Slavery, and as scaring a Prospect as ever People had? |
| A40097 | Had we, I beseech you, made such Returns for our late so wonderful a one, as reasonably to hope for such another, should we again need it? |
| A40097 | Is it possible, I say, we should not readily and cheerfully thus do for such a Deliverance as this? |

| A40097 | What shall we say to this? |
| A40097 | When will you be made sensible, how destructive to all Humane Society, the Principles are, on which you have founded your Flaming Loyalty? |
| A40097 | Who can question this, that hath not forgot, how very short his Power was of a Vice- Roys in Ireland, and that Lauzune made all the Figure there? |
| A40089 | But I would fain know of them, why must it be done so decently? |
| A40089 | But how came it to pass that any should dare to make thus bold with the Scriptures? |
| A40089 | But what if those words of our Saviour, This is my Body, should prove to be a Figure? |
| A40089 | First, Is the putting away a good Conscience the true cause to which making shipwrack of the Faith is to be imputed? |
| A40089 | Is it because it was a gross abuse of the Holy Trinity? |
| A40089 | Is this the account into which it is to be resolved? |
| A40089 | Now what is Idolatry, if such doings are not? |
| A40089 | Secondly, Is it so apparent that the Church of Rome hath made so woful a shipwrack of the Faith? |
| A40089 | This Cup is the New Testament in my Bloud? |
| A40089 | What say you to her Doctrine of the Gospels obscurity even in things of absolute necessity to be believed and practised? |
| A40089 | What say you to her Doctrine that, Faith is not to be kept with Hereticks? |

| A40089 | What say you to their Doctrine of Image- Worship? |
| A40089 | What say you to their Doctrine of Purgatory? |
| A40089 | What say you to their well known Doctrine, Of the Non- necessity of Repentance before the imminent point of death? |
| A40089 | What say you to this Doctrine that, the most horrid villanies are then lawful, when necessary to the promoting of the interest of the Catholick cause? |
| A40089 | What say you, in the first place, to her Doctrine of Infallibility? |
| A40092 | And is there any one Precept so often repeated, so much inculcated, as this of Charity? |
| A40092 | And therefore in denying it to them, we withhold a plain Due, and What is this but as plain Injustice? |
| A40092 | And what single Evidence of a Man''s, being a good Christian, can excel, nay can equal this? |
| A40092 | But What Encouragement is there to it? |
| A40092 | But hath Christ promised to Save all by his Merits that Rely upon them for Salvation? |
| A40092 | But, for God''s sake, tell me why? |
| A40092 | Do you really and indeed Hope to be saved? |
| A40092 | Hath GOD promised such as you these Habitations, and will you expect them without a Promise? |
| A40092 | Hath he proposed no Terms to us, without our Compliance with which, He will not Save us? |
| A40092 | How happens it that so few comparatively will Obey it? |
| A40092 | If it be asked, How this one part of Religion can be said to give a Title to these Everlasting Habitations? |
| A40092 | If therefore you have been unfaithful in the Vnrighteous Mammon, Who will commit to your trust the True Riches? |
| A40092 | Nay, Is any one single Duty oftener made a Condition of Salvation, than this of Charity? |
| A40092 | Suppose you are strictly just, can you expect a Reward for this? |
| A40092 | Who knows not, that Faith, and Love, and Obedience, are words which severally express in Scripture all Religion? |
| A40094 | And wherein have I wearied thee? |
| A40094 | And, if so, how can we Expect God''s Favour, and live in such Contradiction to His Will? |
| A40094 | Are the Obligations in which he stands to thee, like those in which thou standest to God? |
| A40094 | But how came it to be ever imagined, that God will be put off with a Partiall Obedience? |
| A40094 | But if it be a Transgression of the Law, how can it be a Light or a Trivial thing? |
| A40094 | But why should any of us think our selves in a Good State, because we live not in any of the Scandalous Sins? |
| A40094 | Can we say that God goes beyond His Power in imposing some Laws; or that those we dislike, are less Reasonable than His other Laws? |
| A40094 | Can you be so Foolish and Ill- natured, as thus to requite the Lord? |
| A40094 | For what so Pleasant as Love, and much more as love placed on such an Object as God is? |
| A40094 | If this be so, we may well Repeat that other Question of the Disciples, Who then can be saved? |
| A40094 | If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord who shall stand? |
| A40094 | Is it most Reasonable to Obey Him in some things, and is it not so to Obey Him in all things? |
| A40094 | Is it possible then, that we can think it Fit or Tolerable, that the great Creator and Governour of the World should be in any thing Disobeyed? |
| A40094 | Is there not the same Reason, why you should be in every thing Obedient, that there is, why you should be in any thing so? |
| A40094 | Is this the GOSPEL we talk so much of? |
| A40094 | Is this the Glad- Tydings which our Saviour hath brought us? |
| A40094 | Said Upright Iob: And therefore what Hope can those have, who to that time have lived dissolutely, and been Open Violators of Gods Laws? |
| A40094 | Were not those Laws made to be Obeyed which we Break, as well as those we Keep, or at least think we Keep? |
| A40094 | What can you say for your selves, why you should obey Him but just so far? |
| A40094 | What is the Hope of the Hypocrite, when God taketh away his Soul? |
| A40094 | Who would not think himself greatly Affronted, to have such Questions seriously put to him? |
| A40094 | Will His Infinite Wisdom suffer Him to make a Law, which He matters not whether it be Observ''d or no? |
| A40094 | Will you approve of that Servant who wilfully Disobeys some of your Commands, because he observes others? |
| A40094 | With what Face then can we desire to persist longer in any one instance of Disobedience? |
| A40071 | And how was this Authority conveyed to him, but by the success of War? |
| A40071 | And what is this short of Allegeance to one, who had nothing but bare Success in War, to plead for his Title to it? |
| A40071 | And what then? |
| A40071 | But doth not all this resolve this whole Controversy into a Right of Conquest, which is not so much as pretended in our present Case? |
| A40071 | But is this all? |
| A40071 | But what Evidence doth he give, that they did not so? |
| A40071 | But what said Mr. Ashton to the Iury, to clear this matter? |
| A40071 | But where hath the Church of England declared its sense about the Right of War? |
| A40071 | But where is that done? |
| A40071 | But where lies the danger of our Religion now? |
| A40071 | Can a man be Innocent and Guilty of the same thing? |
| A40071 | Did Archbishop Laud go off from the Church of England, or King Charles the First, who both suffered for the sake of it? |
| A40071 | First, Whether these were the just Occasions of a War? |
| A40071 | Hath he given so much evidence to the World of his Sincerity in his Promises, when the keeping of them hath been prejudicial to his Interest? |
| A40071 | Have we not the same Laws, the same Protection, the same Encouragement, which we ever had, at any time since the Reformation? |
| A40071 | If not, how comes it to be so here? |
| A40071 | In the mean time, Is it not great Wisdom and Policy, to venture our Religion, and all our Liberties on the sincerity and kindness of France? |
| A40071 | Is Allegeance inseparable in these Cases, because we were Born Subjects and did swear Allegeance? |
| A40071 | Is it Perjury and Rebellion in the new French Conquests, for the Inhabitants to take Oaths of Fidelity to the French King? |
| A40071 | Is our Allegeance so inseparable from the Person we have once sworn to, that no Case whatsoever, can alter it? |
| A40071 | Is there not the same Right of War here as abroad? |
| A40071 | More in danger than when Penal Laws and Tests were taking away, in order to the taking away our Religion after them? |
| A40071 | Not the Case of plain voluntary Dereliction? |
| A40071 | Not the Case of putting the Kingdom under a Foreign Power? |
| A40071 | Not the seeking the utter Ruin and Destruction of the People? |
| A40071 | Secondly, Whether upon the success of this War the Rights of Sovereignty were duly transferred? |
| A40071 | The Iury were to Act according to their Consciences; and if they did so, how could they expose themselves contrary to common Iustice to destroy him? |
| A40071 | The main point as to the Iury, was, Whether they were satisfied in their Consciences, that Mr. Ashton intended to go into France with such a Design? |
| A40071 | Was it Forsworn all the time of King Iohn, and the several Reigns of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Henries? |
| A40071 | Was the Nation Forsworn, in the times of William the Conqueror, and his two Sons, and his Nephew? |
| A40071 | What comfort will it then be to say, they did not think he would have broken his word so with them? |
| A40071 | What is 16 years service to the Preservation of a Nation, from the imminent danger of Popery and Arbitrary Power? |
| A40071 | What is the meaning of this? |
| A40071 | When the design was as plain, and open as a thing of that nature could be, in such a Nation? |
| A40071 | Where was the Hard Measure then? |
| A40071 | Wherein lay this Danger? |
| A40071 | Which of these did he suffer for? |
| A40071 | for the subverting the present Government by Domestick Insurrections and Foreign Power? |
| A40093 | And what Dammage could accrue to the Divine Majesty, from their Reproaches? |
| A40093 | Are not those who were Debauched before, as Debauched still? |
| A40093 | But hath he been better Requited for this, than he was for the former Deliverance? |
| A40093 | But was the late professed Inclination to Unity, mere Dissembling? |
| A40093 | Did they fare so well, as that we need not be scared from following their Example? |
| A40093 | Do n''t we hear as we pass the Streets, as Horrid Oaths and as Tremendous Curses, and as many of these, as we heard before? |
| A40093 | He may well say to Us; O England, what shall I do unto thee? |
| A40093 | His sending His Prophets and Messengers to cry aloud in their Ears, Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, Why will ye dye? |
| A40093 | How can I find in mine heart to be as bad as my Word in Executing such fearful Threatnings? |
| A40093 | How long, and how frequently had both the ten Tribes and the two, Warnings sent them by the Prophets, before they were carried away Captive? |
| A40093 | How many inspired men did He heretofore send, upon this Sole Errand? |
| A40093 | How shall I be able to make an utter end of thee, as I did of those two, and their neighbouring Cities? |
| A40093 | How shall I deliver thee Israel,& c? |
| A40093 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
| A40093 | How shall I deliver thee, or deliver thee up, Israel? |
| A40093 | How shall I deliver you into your Enemies hands? |
| A40093 | How shall I give thee up Ephraim? |
| A40093 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
| A40093 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
| A40093 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
| A40093 | How shall I make you as your poor Brethren of France? |
| A40093 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
| A40093 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
| A40093 | How shall I set you, as your Fellow- Protestants of Piedmont? |
| A40093 | Nay, how few in Authority seem heartily concerned for the suppressing of any of these Vices? |
| A40093 | Nay, how many of us would never account this any Deliverance, and look upon it as worse than none? |
| A40093 | O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? |
| A40093 | O Iudah, what shall I do unto thee? |
| A40093 | O London, what shall I do unto thee? |
| A40093 | Secondly, Will sinners still persevere in this their Madness? |
| A40093 | Shall we mock the Messengers of God, as they did? |
| A40093 | That were Profane before, as Profane still? |
| A40093 | Was it rather Stifled than Extinguist Emnity? |
| A40093 | What Reformation hath our late Deliverance wrought among us? |
| A40093 | What reason have we, when we consider this, to take up that wish of the Prophet Ieremy? |
| A40093 | What should God Almighty do with such a People as we are? |
| A40093 | When was the Breach wider than''t is now again? |
| A40093 | Will they never return to their wits more? |
| A40093 | Would any one have thought now, that this Humiliation of so Vile a man, could in the least have moved the Divine Compassion? |
| A70067 | 17th declare it, as your belief, that the Church of England can not be justly charged with Idolatry? |
| A70067 | And as to the Picture of the Virgin Mary, is that one of our Ceremonies? |
| A70067 | And can you think, Sir, that it is well done after this manner to Ridicule the Churche''s Power? |
| A70067 | And do you find that the pious Jews did separate upon this account? |
| A70067 | And do you think our Church in her Festivals, designs keeping Days holy to Saints? |
| A70067 | And how, I pray, is this an Obvious begging of the Question? |
| A70067 | And if they have this power, can you think it lawfull to disobey those laws of theirs, that prohibit working on those days? |
| A70067 | And if you do not, can you think that our Governours have no power to forbid ordinary Labour upon those days, which they have so set apart? |
| A70067 | And therefore why do you permit them to join in Singing? |
| A70067 | And whereas you ask, whether it be that the 39 Articles have in them nothing of kin to Popery, as to matters of Faith? |
| A70067 | And whose fault is it, if they do? |
| A70067 | And why again do you say, we judge this no sinfull Separation? |
| A70067 | And why do you so mince is too in saying, in the two first Cases we ought to Separate? |
| A70067 | And why do you suffer them to hear Sermons? |
| A70067 | But I pray, Sir, did he say that there is nothing but Tradition for the Observation of the Sabbath? |
| A70067 | But do you think that God''s Vicegerents have not power given them to set apart days to a holy use? |
| A70067 | But is this an Answer? |
| A70067 | But need I shew you the impertinency of your Answer to this passage? |
| A70067 | But whom can you name that hath had the least trouble given him, for not being at Church on a Week- day Holy- day? |
| A70067 | But why can not you be of our Author''s mind, as to the two other Texts? |
| A70067 | But why should you be so altogether silent too, in the quoting of your other Authors? |
| A70067 | But you say, may not jealousies of some homage by it intended to God, and such thoughts, as those you suggested, arise in weaker Christians? |
| A70067 | But, I pray, did you observe any greater inclination to Popery before the Fire of London, than you now observe? |
| A70067 | But, he asks, where it is said, that these things were forbidden, because the Heathens used them? |
| A70067 | But, it follows, if all can not be so satisfied, shall they therefore be Ruined for their doubt in this thing? |
| A70067 | Doth it argue that our people are more devoutly inclined, than the Jews were, because they are not so inclined to Idolatry? |
| A70067 | How came you to have more light than the Holy and Excellent men in former Ages, and in our own Age too? |
| A70067 | Nay we have hardly that, for you do not in express terms affirm, but ask this Question, How many have we that will tell us, we are Ecclesia Loquens? |
| A70067 | Nay, why should not this highly become us, and be of singular advantage to us? |
| A70067 | No body doubts this: But are you obliged by our Church so to spend Her Holy- days? |
| A70067 | Now upon this Text you say, That Baali was a very good name; if we consider it in its self what doth it signifie more than my Lord? |
| A70067 | Onely I will ask whether there be any hope of reclaiming the Papists from their Idolatry by our laying aside our Ceremonies? |
| A70067 | Or before the Irish Rebellion either, if you are so old as to be able so early to make Observations? |
| A70067 | Or if they did not, will you say that they were guilty of Sin? |
| A70067 | This in good earnest, is somewhat a hard Case; but I pray Sir, by what figure do you call one Start- up Warm Head a new Generation? |
| A70067 | To solemn Actions of Royalty and Justice, their suitable Ornaments are a Beauty; are they onely in Religion a Stain? |
| A70067 | What Sin is there in all this? |
| A70067 | Why do n''t you speak out and say''t is a Necessary one? |
| A70067 | Why then, I ask again, are not the hearts of the Turks and Modern Jews as much inclined thereunto? |
| A70067 | Would you have your Readers take it for granted, that there are such Errours in the Constitution of the Church of England? |
| A70067 | You reply, may not the like be said of what Dissenters plead against? |
| A70067 | by partaking of her sins) of her plagues? |
| A70067 | if you do not think so, why are you thus impertinent? |
| A70067 | p. 27. l. 30. dele? |
| A70067 | whether his setting it up by the Ark, or Mercy Seat would have purged it? |
| A70067 | why then are not the Turks as much inclined, or the present Jews, who have no more Miraculous Operations among them, than we have among us? |
| A40073 | Am I sincerely willing to obey my Creatour and Redeemer in all things commanded by them? |
| A40073 | And having, in his Apology, ask''d the two Emperors and the rest this Question, If we are commanded to love our Enemies, whom have we then to hate? |
| A40073 | And how can any Christian while he considereth this, be able to forbear thus to reason with himself? |
| A40073 | And what Villanies are there which the Pope and his Proselytes have stuck at committing for the Propagation of their Religion? |
| A40073 | Atheism it self, so boldly shew its head as it doth here? |
| A40073 | But what Madness is like to this? |
| A40073 | But what abominable vice is there, that doth not here abound? |
| A40073 | Can we be willing that he should do and suffer so many things in vain, and much more do our parts to make him do so? |
| A40073 | Could he give such a Character as this of that little Book of his BrotherHeathen; what can be invented by us high enough for the Gospel? |
| A40073 | Do I entertain and harbour no lust in my breast? |
| A40073 | Do I say, it injures them? |
| A40073 | For how honourable a thing must it needs be to imitate the onely begotten Son of God, nay and one who is likewise God himself? |
| A40073 | For is it not without dispute, better service to a Prince to reduce Rebels to their Allegiance, than to procure a pardon under his Seal for them? |
| A40073 | Hath he bought us with such a price; and can we refuse to be his Servants, and rather chuse to be the slaves of Sathan, the Devil''s Drudges? |
| A40073 | Hath he expressed such astonishing love to us in dying for us, and wo''nt we accept of it? |
| A40073 | How can he be vain and frothy, that considers his Saviour''s horrid Agony, what a man of Sorrows he was, and how acquainted with Griefs? |
| A40073 | How glorious to follow such a pattern? |
| A40073 | How utterly impossible then is it, that such as are not so, should be acquainted with the Divinity it self? |
| A40073 | I say what can be greater cruelty than this is? |
| A40073 | If a son shall ask bread of any that is a father, will he give him a stone? |
| A40073 | Is they do these things in a green Tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
| A40073 | Is this possible? |
| A40073 | Know ye what I have done unto you? |
| A40073 | Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? |
| A40073 | Nay among what sort of men are all manner of abominable wickednesses and villanies to be found so rife, as among them? |
| A40073 | Nay hath he been Crucified for us by the wicked Iews, and don''t we think that enough? |
| A40073 | Not by works of Righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us( how saved us? |
| A40073 | Or who shall stand when he appeareth? |
| A40073 | Quid aliud est 〈 ◊ 〉( saith Tully) quàm Iustitia adversùs Deos? |
| A40073 | Shall I by harbouring filthy lusts debase that nature in my own person, which God hath to such an infinite height exalted in his Son''s? |
| A40073 | Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an Harlot? |
| A40073 | Shall we Sin( saith the Apostle) that Grace may abound? |
| A40073 | The Cup which my Father giveth me, shall I not drink it? |
| A40073 | The worst words he bestowed upon him being these, Iudas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a Kiss? |
| A40073 | Thus saith the Lord, the Heaven is my Throne, and the Earth my Footstool, where is the house that ye build unto me? |
| A40073 | What a multitude of Tormenting cares is Independency on God and Distrust of his Providence perpetually attended with? |
| A40073 | What happiness can we find in the enjoyment of God when he is of a perfectly contrary nature to our own? |
| A40073 | What is Piety or Devotion but Iustice towards God? |
| A40073 | Whether it were lawful to pay tribute to Caesar? |
| A40073 | Who could think that the worst should be yet behind? |
| A40073 | Ye are the Salt of the earth; but if the Salt hath lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? |
| A40073 | and moreover, how can we then enjoy him? |
| A40073 | and where is the place of my Rest? |
| A40073 | or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a Serpent? |
| A40073 | or if he ask an egge, will he offer him a Scorpion? |
| A40078 | * Epictetus in Arrian; O Man, what dost thou? |
| A40078 | And now shall I need to add, that our Incomparable QUEEN was also a Person of most sincere and Unaffected Devotion and Piety? |
| A40078 | And thus much for our Second Head of Discourse: What is here meant by Receiving Evil at God''s Hand? |
| A40078 | And what would we have God to do, to keep off such Evils as these? |
| A40078 | And whether, for the same Reason that they would be placed in one of the higher Orbs, every body else may not expect it? |
| A40078 | And who knows not, that the most common Blessings, are the most Valuable? |
| A40078 | But as God Almighty asked the peevish Prophet, Whether he did well to be Angry? |
| A40078 | Can a Man, saith Eliphaz, be Profitable to God, as he that is Wise may be Profitable unto himself? |
| A40078 | Can they think it Possible for Him to chuse such a Life, had He Accepted of Three Crowns for the Pleasure of Wearing them? |
| A40078 | Did I ever find fault with Thy Government? |
| A40078 | Didst Thou ever see me the more out of Humour, or Cast down for this? |
| A40078 | Hast thou not, saith he, made an Hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? |
| A40078 | Have I ever appeared before Thee with a discontented Countenance? |
| A40078 | Have ever any one of you seen me with a Sad Countenance? |
| A40078 | How doth it Dis- become the Goodness of God, to say to such, With what Measure you Mete, it shall be Meted to you again? |
| A40078 | How was he heard, since the bitter Cup of death did not pass from him, but he did drink it? |
| A40078 | I ask these, Whether they do well to be discontented, and to have so little Sense of the Bounty of their Great Benefactor? |
| A40078 | If we look upon Heaven as our Everlasting Rest, how can we so much as hope, that our Condition here will be better than that of Travellers? |
| A40078 | In Discoursing on the Latter Part of Iob''s Admirable Reply, What? |
| A40078 | Is it any Pleasure, or addition of Happiness, to the Almighty, that thou art Righteous? |
| A40078 | Is there any thing Best, but what shall seem so to God? |
| A40078 | It is evident, that Iob intended this too, in saying, Shall we not receive Evil? |
| A40078 | Must I stay, or must I fly? |
| A40078 | Now is my Soul troubled, and what shall I say? |
| A40078 | Now what Stronger Arguing can there be than this? |
| A40078 | Of Meekness and Forgiveness of Enemies, while he hath no Enemies to forgive, or meets with no Provocations from them? |
| A40078 | Of Patience, while he feels no pain? |
| A40078 | Of Submission to God''s Will, while God never Crosseth his Own Will? |
| A40078 | Or is it Gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways Perfect? |

| A40078 | Shall I say, Father Save me from this Hour? |
| A40078 | Shall there be Evil in a City, and the Lord hath not done it? |
| A40078 | Shall we receive Good at the Hand of God, and shall we not receive Evil? |
| A40078 | Shall we receive Good at the Hand of God, and shall we not receive Evil? |
| A40078 | Shall we receive Good at the Hand of God, and shall we not receive Evil? |
| A40078 | Shall we receive Good at the Hand of God, and shall we not receive Evil? |
| A40078 | The Cup which my Father hath given me to drink, shall I not drink it? |
| A40078 | Upon Abishai''s saying, Why should this dead Dog Curse my Lord the King? |
| A40078 | Was I not always prepared and ready for whatsoever Thou Requiredst? |
| A40078 | We must needs say of it, what the Disciples said in another Case, This is an hard saying, who can hear it? |
| A40078 | What Beggar would lose his Eye- sight, to be a Lord? |
| A40078 | What Exercise can there be of the Grace of Contentment, while all things succeed according to a man''s desire and expectation? |
| A40078 | What could he have said better, had he been a Christian? |
| A40078 | What? |
| A40078 | When did I ever Complain of any one? |
| A40078 | Whereupon the Holy Man gives her this Reply, Thou speakest as one of the foolish Women speaketh; What? |
| A40078 | Who ever heard Her take the Name of God or of our Saviour into Her Mouth, in too light or vain a manner? |
| A40078 | Who would change his Cottage for a Palace, if he must give his Health and his Ease into the Bargain? |
| A40078 | Who would not rather chuse to sleep sweetly upon Straw, than to lye Crying out under the Stone or Gout, upon a Bed of Ivory? |
| A40078 | Why dost thou not rid thy self of all this Trouble? |
| A40078 | Why should you be Smitten any more? |
| A40078 | Wilt Thou have me bear an Office, or shall I live a private Life? |
| A40078 | Wretch that thou art, wouldst thou have any thing but what is Best; and who can tell what that is? |
| A40078 | — Shall we not receive Evil? |
| A40076 | 13. not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the Doers of the Law shall be justified? |
| A40076 | 26. ought not Christ to have suffered? |
| A40076 | 8. what is the difference between purity of Nature, and purity of heart? |
| A40076 | A special doctrine this doth he know what the word[ doctrine] means that makes this one? |
| A40076 | And canst thou think this, Reader, a wicked saying? |
| A40076 | And was Adams Holiness ever the worse because it stood with perfect ignorance of Christ''s mediation? |
| A40076 | And whereas he saith, that if this doctrine be true, Christ must ask God mercy for some great wickedness committed by him; how does that follow? |
| A40076 | And who but the Devil, or one devoted to his Service, can curse that man with Bell Book and Candle that delivers this doctrine? |
| A40076 | Are Precepts and the Objects of them the same thing? |
| A40076 | Are all those Papists in the Doctrine of justification that deny a dead Faith to be the condition of it? |
| A40076 | B''s.( who makes a very Turk of Mr. Fowler upon the account of them?) |
| A40076 | B. is it ever the worse for being natural, is not the holiness of the good Angels, natural to them? |
| A40076 | B. then? |
| A40076 | But are not all Brutes sinless too? |
| A40076 | But doth not Mr. F. in the very first Page say, that the holiness he so describes is a complication of all the vertues? |
| A40076 | But doth not every man since the fall consist of body and soul? |
| A40076 | But how desperately wicked is it likewise? |
| A40076 | But is that Righteousness our own that is wrought in us by God''s Holy Spirit? |
| A40076 | But observe, did Mr. F. say that Christ trod no steps but those we must tread? |
| A40076 | But suppose this to be true, what is it to the purpose? |
| A40076 | But were not all things that God hath effected as much decreed from all Eternity as this? |
| A40076 | But what again is this to the purpose? |
| A40076 | But what if Mr. F. hath no such passage in his whole Book? |
| A40076 | But what is it Mr. F. there saith that offends this man? |
| A40076 | But where is this said? |
| A40076 | Can a duty be more affectionately and effectually recommended than this of Alms- giving is in these places? |
| A40076 | Canst thou think, Reader, that Mr. F. deserves to be accused as Popishly affected in this point? |
| A40076 | Christ ask''d God mercy for us, and do not we do as he did, when we ask it for our selves? |
| A40076 | Did ever man speak higher concerning the effects of Christs death, and precious blood- shedding, than Mr. F. hath in this Chapter done? |
| A40076 | Do I entertain no lust in my breast? |
| A40076 | Doth Mr. F. any where, contrary to the Apostle Paul, assert the merit of Works? |
| A40076 | Doth this make the one and the other holiness to be of a different nature? |
| A40076 | For First, How should he come by Sayings out of Campian? |
| A40076 | He saith, God hath forgiven him that is enabled to believe,( and what is it, with him to believe? |
| A40076 | He saith, he hath made his Creed out of the Scriptures, but who are best accomplisht for the understanding of them? |
| A40076 | Here''s malice with a witness? |
| A40076 | How doth he know he was not incouraged by a Promise? |
| A40076 | How sottish is this Ranter? |
| A40076 | I declare, no where, but the contrary in abundance of places: Is it not said, Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out? |
| A40076 | Is not that God''s righteousness which is the effect of God''s grace? |
| A40076 | Is not this a right goodly Tool to make a Preacher of? |
| A40076 | Is this the talk of one that trampleth under foot the bloud of the Son of God? |
| A40076 | Mark, 1. he saith in all duties that respected morals, what nonsense is this? |
| A40076 | Mr. F. doth not say that no duty is more affectionately commanded, but recommended; and who knows not that these two are not the same? |
| A40076 | Now what is the difference between a divine or Godlike nature, and the image of God? |
| A40076 | Reader, this is Mr. Fowlers great Question he refers to: Am I sincerely willing to obey my Creator and Redeemer in all things? |
| A40076 | That they having not the law are a law to themselves, and that they shew the work of the Law written in their Hearts,& c? |
| A40076 | Was Adam no more than this comes to? |
| A40076 | Wash ye, make ye clean, put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do well,& c. and what follows? |
| A40076 | What can hard- hearted hypocrites say to these places? |
| A40076 | What is clearer than all this? |
| A40076 | What is it to be renewed but to recover our former state or that which was lost? |
| A40076 | What man that ever had read, or assented to the Gospel, but would have spoken more honourably of Christ than you have done? |
| A40076 | What proof hath he for this? |
| A40076 | What stuff is here again? |
| A40076 | What thinkest thou now, Reader, canst thou fancy the Design of Christianity to be another Leviathan? |
| A40076 | and does not the law still continue written in the hearts of men? |
| A40076 | because you have not made your Creed out of them, do the judgment of so many men famous for Learning and Godliness signifie nothing with you? |
| A40076 | doth not every body know that these are but several expressions of the very same thing? |
| A40076 | if God did make him a promise was he bound to tell us so? |
| A40076 | nay, is not the Holiness of God natural to him? |
| A40076 | or is it therefore of a different kind from the holiness of Christians, because theirs is not natural? |
| A40076 | or rather art thou able to retain any tolerable opinion of that man that calls it so, and represents it as such a piece of monstrous Devilism? |
| A40076 | p. 47 Can any Ranter talk at a madder rate? |
| A40076 | purpose? |
| A40076 | the Learned or Idiots? |
| A40076 | though he was wise in so doing, yet could he not have done otherwise? |
| A40076 | what will thy gallant generous mind do here? |
| A40076 | who sees not that it is? |
| A40088 | 3. Who are they that determine any Notion to be true, while they can not Conceive it to be so? |
| A40088 | 7,& c. Canst thou by Searching find out God? |
| A40088 | And He that formed the Eye shall not he see? |
| A40088 | And I Answer, To what purpose should a Power( or Authority) be longer retained, than while there is any occasion for the Exercise thereof? |
| A40088 | And are not all the Glorious Angels Commanded by the Father to Worship His Son? |
| A40088 | And can this Consist with your having Asserted, that''t is a Contradiction to say, that there can be more than One Infinite Being? |
| A40088 | And he saith, that this Proposition is self- evident; as who sees not that so it is? |
| A40088 | And if he be not So daring, with what face could he object against the possibility of a Necessary Emanation from God, because we have no Idea thereof? |
| A40088 | And now comes a Third Question, Does the Idea of an infinitely Perfect Being, Evidently imply the Necessary Emanation of another Being? |
| A40088 | And the Word was made Flesh,& c. Do not these words at least seem to speak the same thing? |
| A40088 | And what think you of those words which begin St Johns Gospel? |
| A40088 | And when I have asked, What is a mere Imaginary thing? |
| A40088 | And whereas he saith, It is not Plainly revealed whether the H. Ghost be a Person or no? |
| A40088 | Are the Sun and Light the self- same thing? |
| A40088 | As to be able to Comprehend Gods Nature and Glorious Attributes? |
| A40088 | But I am so Impertinent as to ask again, Why they ought not? |
| A40088 | But I ask him, how Self- Existence can be Separated from those Powers? |
| A40088 | But can I need to mind him, that our Hypothesis will not bear a Separation between the Divine Persons, and only asserts a Distinction betwen them? |
| A40088 | But how does he Endeavour to prevent my troubling his Questions, with Confused Empty Jargon? |
| A40088 | But how does he prove this? |
| A40088 | But how is this Proposition Point- blank Contrary to my foregoing ones? |
| A40088 | But how may the Learned Socrates shame the Self- conceited Dogmatizers? |
| A40088 | But how will he allay the Fury I have Expressed in those words, or rather in that one word? |
| A40088 | But is there no difference betwixt Union and Identity or self samenefs? |
| A40088 | But then I ask what is Space? |
| A40088 | But then say I, will you pretend, Sir, to have any the least Idea, How the Divine Substance can do this? |
| A40088 | But what if I grant him, that that Light which was Created before the Sun, the Sun was not the cause of? |
| A40088 | But what if I say That this is as much needs to be proved, as that which it is brought to prove? |
| A40088 | But what tho''the Trinitarians differ in some Particulars, in their Explication of the Trinity, so long as they agree in the main Substance? |
| A40088 | But why must I be such a Devillish Persecutor merely for one word? |
| A40088 | But why so I beseech him? |
| A40088 | But( on second thoughts) I will undertake to Answer it, when he shall be pleased to Answer me this, How did your self come into Being? |
| A40088 | But, Sir, did you ever meet with such Triflng? |
| A40088 | But, Sir, will this Answer do? |
| A40088 | Can a Being that depends on God, be properly said to be Essentially that God, on whom it depends? |
| A40088 | Can our Author in his Cool thoughts imagine it is? |
| A40088 | Can the Divine Nature be Communicated to a Being, when less than all Perfections are Communicated to it? |
| A40088 | Canst thou find out The Almighty to Perfection? |
| A40088 | Cry you, Who gave you leave thus to ask me Questions, and then to answer them as you list for me? |
| A40088 | Deeper than Hell, what Canst thou know? |
| A40088 | Does it follow thence, that the Sun is the cause of no Light? |
| A40088 | Doth not this kind of Talk Suppose, that he takes the three Divine Persons( if he thinks two of them are any thing) to be Corporeal Substances? |
| A40088 | Doth the Divine Nature Comprehend all Perfections; or can it want one or two of the Chiefest, and be still the same Divine Nature? |
| A40088 | For you may as well ask, why God can not do a Contradiction? |
| A40088 | For, First, Who hath so hard, or so large a Head, as to find only the Ways of God incomprehensible to him? |
| A40088 | He asks, What greater Absurdity there can be, than that Beings which have Infinite Unlimited Perfections, should want some Perfections? |
| A40088 | He is Perfectly Amazed at my distinguishing betwixt Intelligible and Comprehensible: I ask Why? |
| A40088 | He that Planted the Ear shall He not hear? |
| A40088 | How comes Boldness all o th''suddain to be such a Crime with this Gentleman? |
| A40088 | How comes that Proposition by such a Remarque as this? |
| A40088 | How the Father can be greater than the Son and H. Spirit, and be the only Good, when they have the same Unlimited Power and Goodness? |
| A40088 | How well was this Flurt bestowed on me, since he knew what a Veneration I Exprest for those Divines, in my last Proposition? |
| A40088 | Is God Almighty bound to give us Ideas of the way and manner how any thing can be Produced by him? |
| A40088 | Is not also the individual Nature of Every living Creature indivisible? |
| A40088 | Is there not a real distinction between our Souls and Bodys, tho''United so closely as that he can not conceive how closely, nor any Man else? |
| A40088 | It is as High as Heaven, what Canst thou do? |
| A40088 | It may be replyed to this Man, Who is he that multiplyeth words without knowledge? |
| A40088 | Now what faith your Friend to this? |
| A40088 | Or how what we know does Exist is Produced? |
| A40088 | Or of Every thing that He hath Produced? |
| A40088 | Or that He is in His own nature Indifferent to every thing? |
| A40088 | Or to give us Ideas of Every thing that he can Produce? |
| A40088 | Or( to speak a little Learnedly) What is the Ratio formalis of Space? |
| A40088 | Or, What is Substance Considered abstractedly from all Accidents? |
| A40088 | Or, What is the Modus how any thing comes to be what it is, or to be at all? |
| A40088 | Proposition? |
| A40088 | Put up again thy Sword,& c. Thinkest thou that I can not now Pray unto my Father, and He shall presently give me more than Twelve Legions of Angels? |
| A40088 | Secondly, How can he say that Jesus Christ desired not Divine Honours to be paid to Him? |
| A40088 | Section? |
| A40088 | Then demand I, What kind of thing is Emptiness? |
| A40088 | Was God Conscious to the Emanation? |
| A40088 | Was He sensible of the Necessity? |
| A40088 | Well, suppose this, is it impossible for a thing to be, of which we sorry Mortals have no Idea? |
| A40088 | Well, what means he by the very Spirit of the Church? |
| A40088 | Why may not one Infinite, as well as one Finite, proceed from another? |
| A40088 | and if it can not, What does this saying Signifie? |
| A40088 | can not this[ Intolerable] bear a more merciful interpretation? |
| A40088 | is it so indeed? |
| A40082 | & c. Where greater Rigour in the World in acting the Observation of the Church Laws? |
| A40082 | A Spartan being asked, Quid sciret? |
| A40082 | Again, how can any such Power deprive me of my Liberty to compare my Actions with such Rules as I think I am obliged to be governed by? |
| A40082 | An Answer to this Question, Whether the Prescribing of Forms of Prayer, for the Publick Worship of God, be not an Encroachment upon Christian Liberty? |
| A40082 | An Answer to this Question, Whether the Prescribing of Forms of Prayer, for the Publick Worship of God, be not an Encroachment upon Christian Liberty? |
| A40082 | And as for these Motives, can the Heart of Man conceive any more powerful? |
| A40082 | And can the Wisdom of man invent more plain, significant and full words, by which to express the Universality of Mankind? |
| A40082 | And consequently, how can there be a greater Enemy than the Romish Church is, to that which we have proved to be the true, and most Excellent Liberty? |
| A40082 | And dare they say, that he overshot himself in that saying, or passed a mere Complement upon the Corinthians? |
| A40082 | And if it be so, what becomes of all those Texts wherein Obedience to Governours is with such strictness required of Christians? |
| A40082 | And now what think we? |
| A40082 | And therefore can it be thought a grievous thing that God himself should restrain our Liberty? |
| A40082 | And think we this that so judge them that have done such a thing, and do the same and so much worse, that we shall escape the judgment of God? |
| A40082 | And what great numbers did suffer here in England purely upon the score of Religion in the Reigns of King Henry the Eighth and Queen Mar ●? |
| A40082 | And where are poor Mortals made such miserable Slaves as She makes them? |
| A40082 | And where is the Lust of Pride and Ambition so gratified to the height as in the Church of Rome? |
| A40082 | And, if you are obliged to these things by no Law, how are they Duties? |
| A40082 | Are we so in love with the house of Bondage as to be well satisfied to make it the place of our perpetual Residence? |
| A40082 | Are we so like Apes as to hug our Clogs, and so like Bedlams as to be fond of our Shackles? |
| A40082 | Art thou called being a Servant? |
| A40082 | As God said of old to Ierusalem, Wilt thou not be made clean, when shall it once be? |
| A40082 | As also what dangerous and next to unavoidable snares doth she lay in the way of those mens Chastity, who would be glad to live honestly? |
| A40082 | As for the Head of this Church, can there be a prouder or so proud a Creature upon Gods Earth? |
| A40082 | As the Psalmist saith, If the Foundations be destroyed, what shall the Righteous do? |
| A40082 | As to the Encouragement she gives to the satisfaction of this Lust, what can be greater than to make simple Fornication a Venial Sin? |
| A40082 | But doth not the Relation of a Son necessarily infer Obligation to Obedience? |
| A40082 | But what a manifest Circle is this? |
| A40082 | But what is it to put an affront upon Authority, if publick Endeavours to withdraw People from Obedience be not so? |
| A40082 | But what proof is there of Christ''s having purchased such a Liberty as this? |
| A40082 | But who can have the Forehead to fasten such high Presumptions as these upon our Church? |
| A40082 | But who seeth not how this tends to beget in mens Minds a most Low and Undervaluing, Gross and Impure Conception of the Deity? |
| A40082 | But you will say, how shall I know that I am in the Book of life? |
| A40082 | But, Si populus vult decipi, decipiatur, If Folk will be thus cheated and made a prey of, who can help it? |
| A40082 | Can he easily conceive of God as a most pure Spirit, that useth to feed his Eyes, and foul his Fancy with bodily Representations of Him? |
| A40082 | Can make me Condemn when I ought to Acquit my self, or Acquit when I see reason to Condemn my self? |
| A40082 | Can so give Laws to my Conscience, as to necessitate me to receive them for such, and to think them good Laws, and safe to steer my Actions by? |
| A40082 | Can we be so unconcerned at what King IESVS hath done for our Redemption, as to refuse to embrace his offers of it? |
| A40082 | Can we have such a Hope as this, such a Blessed Hope( as the Apostle calls it) and not heartily endeavour to purifie our selves as God is pure? |
| A40082 | Did I say, that these Fearful Threatnings are designed to awaken the most Disingenuous, Stupid and Obdurate Souls? |
| A40082 | For how could it follow from hence, that Christ died for some, that therefore all without exception were dead? |
| A40082 | For if we be acknowledged to be Competent judges of the true meaning of some Scriptures, why not of all that are as easily intelligible as those are? |
| A40082 | For the young Man asking which Commandments? |
| A40082 | For where God saith, If I am a Master, where is my Fear? |
| A40082 | Had we rather still toil in the Brick- Kilns of Egypt than inherit and possess the good Land; the Land of Peace and Rest, Liberty and Joy? |
| A40082 | Hath Christ Iesus taken such an admirable course in order to our being set free from the power of Sin, and its dismal Effects? |
| A40082 | Hath he paid so Excessively dear for us, and can we be content that after all he should lose his Purchase? |
| A40082 | Hath not our Blessed Lord done Abundantly enough to make us Free indeed; To set us at Liberty from Sin and to Righteousness? |
| A40082 | Have they all of them put together done the half quarter part of that Service in this kind, that One Excellent Dean of our Church hath done? |
| A40082 | He makes no exception of Sinners or Lost persons, and therefore what can they be less than All Mankind? |
| A40082 | How shall I in enquiring after my particular sins, in deed, word and thought, assure my self that I have used my utmost diligence? |
| A40082 | How shall I try my self to be elect of God to everlasting life? |
| A40082 | I lay down my life for my sheep: But did he ever say, I lay down my life for none but my sheep? |
| A40082 | I say, if every one of us can not be certain that Christ died for him, and consequently for all, what motive to obedience can his Death be to us? |
| A40082 | If Tully could say of the Lustful man, An ille mihi liber videtur cui mulier imperat? |
| A40082 | If a Son shall ask bread of any that is a Father, will he give him a stone? |
| A40082 | If we can be Certain, why then not of the truth of the whole Scripture as well as of this single Text? |
| A40082 | In short, Who needs Arguments to convince him, that the Church of England is at present our onely Bulwark against Popery? |
| A40082 | Is he not also of the Gentiles? |
| A40082 | NOW then, after all that hath been said upon this weighty Argument, shall we continue as negligent and cold as ever in Asserting our Liberty? |
| A40082 | Nay, are we so void of all Sense as to be unconcerned at the unsupportable Misery which first or last will be the unavoidable consequent thereof? |
| A40082 | Now did ever the word All signifie a few? |
| A40082 | Now hath Christ been so wonderfully concerned for our Deliverance, and can we our selves be unconcerned? |
| A40082 | Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a Serpent? |
| A40082 | Or if he shall ask an Egge, will he offer him a Scorpion? |
| A40082 | Or is it imaginable that such a one could listen to any temptation whatsoever to continue in Slavery? |
| A40082 | Or that Christians are made Free from such Laws in either of these Sences? |
| A40082 | Or under the ugly Figure of a Man- Cerberus, or a Man with three Heads upon his shoulders? |
| A40082 | Or was it not such a Love as passeth knowledge? |
| A40082 | Shall I think him a freeman who is at the command of a woman? |
| A40082 | Shall that Liberty which deserves not to be named on the same day with this, be so highly set by, and can we tamely give up this? |
| A40082 | So let me say to every Soul that lyeth under the Dominion of Corrupt Affections, Wilt thou not be set at Liberty, when shall it once be? |
| A40082 | That She will not allow us the Liberty of judging for our selves? |
| A40082 | That as many as fell by the Transgression of Adam, were designed to be recovered by the Righteousness of Christ? |
| A40082 | That useth to Worship the Trinity under the Figure of an Old man, with a long Grey Beard, with a Crucifix between his Knees and a Dove in his Breast? |
| A40082 | Then let us no longer cry out, O wretched men that we are, who shall deliver us from the body of this death? |
| A40082 | This one hath he constituted Prince over all Nations and Kingdoms,( but what to do? |
| A40082 | Was ever any miserable Slave heard of that might if he would be set at Liberty, and yet refused? |
| A40082 | We ask again, how it appears that the Testimony of the Church is true? |
| A40082 | We ask again, how it doth appear that those Notes and Characters they give are true and genuine, and, if they are, that their Church onely hath them? |
| A40082 | We ask them, how it appears that the Scriptures are the Word of God? |
| A40082 | What Earthly Power can make me Assent to or believe what it pleaseth? |
| A40082 | What Heart is so hard as not to bleed at the mere Reading or Hearing such things as these? |
| A40082 | What Humility greater than his, shriving himself daily on his knees to an ordinary Priest? |
| A40082 | What Severity of life comparable to their Hermits and Capuchins? |
| A40082 | What an Ocean of Bloud hath this Ravenous Beast shed of the Saints and of the Prophets of God? |
| A40082 | What is Sordid Covetousness, Swinish Lust, Beastly Intemperance, Devilish Rage and Malice, what I say are all these less than so? |
| A40082 | What is this but to take Christ''s work out of his hand? |
| A40082 | What is this but to tread under foot the Son of God, and that Bloud whereby we are Redeemed? |
| A40082 | What slovenly, what ridiculous, what bold and impudent expressions are ordinarily heard from them? |
| A40082 | What would we not then gladly part with to regain them, when we are deprived of them? |
| A40082 | Where less care or Conscience of the Commandments of God? |
| A40082 | Who can believe but that these men would be far more severe Restrainers of Liberty, than those whom they so complain of? |
| A40082 | Who poorer by Vow and Profession than their Mendicants? |
| A40082 | Who wealthier than their Prelates? |
| A40082 | Why do you transgress the Commandments of God by your Traditions? |
| A40082 | Will we not exchange this worse than Egyptian Slavery for the Glorious Liberty of the Sons of God? |
| A40082 | follows these two very fitly and pertinently, as we now read it, Are ye bought with a price? |
| A40082 | he saith also, If I am a Father where is mine Honour? |
| A40082 | thus: Are ye bought with a price? |
| A40084 | & c. i. e. You may be ashamed of that sawcie and profane answer: for may not God your Creator impose what Laws he pleaseth on you? |
| A40084 | ''T is too true, and matter of saddest lamentation: but what of that? |
| A40084 | 21. saith he, Was not our father Abraham justified by works? |
| A40084 | 9. to be understood of inherent righteousness? |
| A40084 | And as for Circumstantials, why may not men dispute about them, and maintain peace and love notwithstanding? |
| A40084 | And ca n''t you remember that''t was proved also, that the goodness of the Doctrine delivered is necessary to convince us, that it is of God? |
| A40084 | And do you think that an opprobrious name, Philalethes? |
| A40084 | And in such points, why may not We also be unanimous, and that as well without their help as with it? |
| A40084 | And is not God wanting to them, think you? |
| A40084 | And then it followeth, Hath not the potter power over the clay? |
| A40084 | And what do those men think it is to escape the corruption of the world, if not, to be truly virtuous, and, in the best sence, morally righteous? |
| A40084 | And what if he had never said so? |
| A40084 | And what if they should? |
| A40084 | And what think you of that speech of Cato: If an Ass kicks me, shall I again kick him? |
| A40084 | And when a piece thereof is marred upon the wheel, to make a meaner vessel of it than otherwise it might have been? |
| A40084 | And which is the safest course, think you, in reconciling seemingly- contrary places to each other? |
| A40084 | And who can answer this? |
| A40084 | Are not they under a fatal necessity of being damned? |
| A40084 | Because we can not understand things that are difficult, shall we therefore deny those that are plain? |
| A40084 | But I pray, Sir, answer me; Are there any Christians that dare deny this, nay, that will not most heartily acknowledge it? |
| A40084 | But again, why must we believe what God saith to be true? |
| A40084 | But are there any that will not be satisfied with this account? |
| A40084 | But besides, what assurance have we that those Councils ascribed Infallibility to themselves? |
| A40084 | But do all those that hold that God doth absolutely predetermine men to eternal misery, make him absolutely to decree mens sins too, in order to it? |
| A40084 | But do n''t we see that the generality of men that enjoy the means of grace are never the better for them, but continue in wilful disobedience? |
| A40084 | But do they not conceive it to be most unfit, that Seditious Practices should pass unpunisht? |
| A40084 | But do they not( as I said I have heard) go about to bring down all such points to mens capacities? |
| A40084 | But do those Preachers content themselvs to shew that the duties of the Gospel are very reasonable? |
| A40084 | But give me leave to offer to you another interpretation of the 19 and 20 verses: Why doth he yet finde fault, for who hath resisted his will? |
| A40084 | But have you found that any of them teach men to act our of Love to God, and to make his Glory their last end? |
| A40084 | But have you not had occasion of late to discourse with any of them? |
| A40084 | But have you observed, that the Heathens give Rules for the regulation of mens thoughts and affections, as well as words and actions? |
| A40084 | But is it not time, think you, Philalethes, to acquaint you with those Divines Judgment in Matters of Discipline? |
| A40084 | But is not this marveilous subtile? |
| A40084 | But is that distinction to be found fault with? |
| A40084 | But now I think of it, do n''t you believe that there are those Conformable persons, that have given too good cause for such a severe Censure? |
| A40084 | But seeing you are so good at Catechizing, why may not I be so also? |
| A40084 | But suppose they did, must we believe them infallible upon their own bare word? |
| A40084 | But then, who shall judge of the true sense of those Writings, in matters disputable? |
| A40084 | But there are few Controverted Points determined by them; what then shall we do as to all other? |
| A40084 | But what can not the wit of men make difficult? |
| A40084 | But what saith S. Austin? |
| A40084 | But what say you to that of Gods commanding Abraham to offer up his son Isaac? |
| A40084 | But what think you of believing in Christ Jesus for the Remission of Sins? |
| A40084 | But why are they so shie of that phrase, and so fond of this? |
| A40084 | But why do not those friends of ours use at all, or but seldom, the phrase Imputed righteousness? |
| A40084 | But why may not I repeat to you your own Questions? |
| A40084 | But why should we Christians be less charitable toward them, than were the very Jews? |
| A40084 | But why will they not admit, that receiving Christ quâ Lord, as well as qua Saviour, justifieth? |
| A40084 | But you do not contemn the Authority of those Councils? |
| A40084 | But you have time little enough, at present, for other matters: do n''t you see? |
| A40084 | But you likewise reject it because it contradicts( as was said) such an innumerable company of Scriptures? |
| A40084 | But, Theophilus, do you think then, that there is no such thing as this inward Testimony? |
| A40084 | But, Theophilus, what a Catechist are you grown all of a suddain? |
| A40084 | But, Theophilus, what should induce so many to be led by a few Scriptures against such a torrent of others, to cry up such strange Doctrine? |
| A40084 | By whom was it taught then? |
| A40084 | Can any thing be understood thereby, but participating of the divine moral perfections, such as Justice, Mercy, Purity? |
| A40084 | Can those men think that he onely meant, Are not my ways such as I please to fancie, and yours such as it is my pleasure to dislike? |
| A40084 | Did he intend he should be offered up? |
| A40084 | Do they not onely say, that good works are not necessary to Justification? |
| A40084 | Do you not remember, that I told you a while since, that they so handle the doctrine of imputed, as to shew the necessity of inhaerent righteousness? |
| A40084 | Do you only guess at it? |
| A40084 | Hath he promised to give thee Repentance, whensoever thou pleasest to allow thy self leisure to seek it? |
| A40084 | Hath not S. Paul told us, that they are without excuse, or rendered inexcusable? |
| A40084 | Hath not our Saviour told us, that where little is given, but little shall be required? |
| A40084 | Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? |
| A40084 | Have you not several times observed that the good- natured people of that way complain more than others of Blasphemous thoughts? |
| A40084 | He hath given us, saith he, exceeding great and precious promises; for what end? |
| A40084 | How much do they or you conceive to be Essential to Episcopacy, and therefore agreeable to the Primitive Pattern? |
| A40084 | If Abraham was of that minde, he strangely forgot himself, when he said to his Maker, Shall not the Iudge of all the earth do right? |
| A40084 | If an ungodly man may be justified, and declared righteous, why may he not also be saved and made happie? |
| A40084 | If this be so, how can the promise of God to Abraham concerning his seed be performed? |
| A40084 | If this be so, what becomes of poor Infants? |
| A40084 | In what sence? |
| A40084 | Is it possible, think you, that there should be any good men of this Perswasion? |
| A40084 | Is there unrighteousness with God? |
| A40084 | Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? |
| A40084 | Nay, how then could he marvail( as we read he did) at their unbelief? |
| A40084 | Nay, what can they imagine it is to partake of the divine, or a divine nature, if not this? |
| A40084 | Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it? |
| A40084 | Now, Philalethes, what can their designe, think you, be in thus doing? |
| A40084 | Say you so? |
| A40084 | Shall the thing formed? |
| A40084 | Then have you heard them so called? |
| A40084 | Then saith the Apostle, Nay but, O man, who art thou that replyest against God? |
| A40084 | There are so, Philalethes; but why do they distinguish between Miracles, and the Testimony of the Spirit? |
| A40084 | They are one and the same, without all doubt: for were they not performed by the power of the Holy Ghost? |
| A40084 | Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet finde fault? |
| A40084 | To interpret a multitude of plain Scriptures by a few difficult ones, or a few difficult ones by a multitude of plain ones? |
| A40084 | Very good; But where shall we look for her Decrees? |
| A40084 | Well, what was it that immediately occasioned this last talk? |
| A40084 | What a brave World should we have, would we but all practise upon such Principles? |
| A40084 | What doth the Apostle S. Paul tell us, the grace of God that brings salvation teacheth us? |
| A40084 | What fault can be found with the wording of this? |
| A40084 | What is the Veneration then that you say you have for those Councils? |
| A40084 | What is the way you take so to do? |
| A40084 | What is there in not thinking just alike in doubtful Matters, that should make people so much as angry with each other? |
| A40084 | What need they, so long as they preach the Doctrine? |
| A40084 | What of that? |
| A40084 | What reason have we to imagine that they are not themselvs in all the fault? |
| A40084 | What righteousness should that be, which he doth there oppose to sin, if not such a one as is in the number of Morals? |
| A40084 | What say some? |
| A40084 | What say you to meek bearing, and putting up affronts; but especially, to loving malicious enemies, and rendering good for evil? |
| A40084 | What you say is clear enough: But did not God, by the Prophet, tell Nineveh that in fourty days she should be destroyed? |
| A40084 | What you say is considerable; but is it not a Scripture- phrase? |
| A40084 | Who would dare to fix such an expostulation as that on the infinitely- wise God? |
| A40084 | Why do you ask me that Question? |
| A40084 | Why is he so angry with us, and resolved so severely to punish us? |
| A40084 | Will they not grant then, that the Covenant of Grace is conditional? |
| A40084 | Will they say, That the Churches Judgment is to be found in the Ancient Fathers? |
| A40084 | You have also a clearer sense of the goodness of the divine precepts, and of the hatefulness and vileness of sin, han''t you? |
| A40084 | You startle me now, Theophilus; I pray do those Preachers deny Imputed righteousness? |
| A40084 | but how can they be so, if they are denyed what is, at least, so far necessary as was now said? |
| A40084 | could Reason ever have prompted this, as mens duty? |
| A40084 | darest thou make an advantage of Gods goodness to assist and patronize thy security? |
| A40084 | did he mean as he spake then? |
| A40084 | for his counsel shall stand; who hath ever resisted his decree? |
| A40084 | for who hath resisted his will? |
| A40084 | i. e. Nay but, O man, who art thou, that thou darest tax the wisdom of God, upon the account of his so doing, as if he could do foolishly? |
| A40084 | is he bound never to abrogate the Law given by Moses to you, and to require your obedience to no other? |
| A40084 | is it not, that denying ungodliness, and all worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godlily? |
| A40084 | is it that we should be swollen with high conceits of Gods special love to us, and of our being the favourites and darlings of heaven? |
| A40084 | must we believe this because we believe it? |
| A40084 | nay, of all those, except a Prophet or two, that lived before the coming of our Saviour? |
| A40084 | shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
| A40084 | what other end can they serve by this means, besides rendering the Religion of Christ Jesus most amiable, and effectual as to its great intent? |
| A40080 | 13. sows his seed, and we read of a great miscarriage, but where was the fault? |
| A40080 | 8. of an old Covenant which was to be done away, and a new Covenant to succeed in the room of it? |
| A40080 | 9, who can say I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? |
| A40080 | 9. but the question is, whether that perfection attributed to him, did signify such a state, as rendred him free from all sin? |
| A40080 | After all this out- cry against Tithes, do the Quakers think the paying and receiving of them to be a sin? |
| A40080 | And are not the Quakers a company of fine Cheats, to take a Bible( as some in my presence have done) and cry, Look at this, is this quick and lively? |
| A40080 | And because you know not a way to China and Japan, will you therefore suppose, there are no such Countries, at least no way to them? |
| A40080 | And can any be so senseless as to suppose the Religion of love forbids your Characters and expressions of it? |
| A40080 | And hath it no rational importance in it? |
| A40080 | And he said unto them, when I sent you without Purse, and Scrip, and shooes, lacked ye any thing? |
| A40080 | And shall degenerate man vie perfections with the Divine Majesty? |
| A40080 | And were not his Instances very proper to justifie this practice, and did not the Doctor speak worthily, and like himself? |
| A40080 | And will you tell the Great Judge at the Great day that your non- proficiency, was occasioned by the Scandalous life of your Minister? |
| A40080 | Are then the necessary points of Religion in them, hard to be understood? |
| A40080 | Before I proceed in this Controversy, you must tell me whether or no Oaths were ever lawful? |
| A40080 | Besides, how should we reprove, or how should justice upon the most notorious offenders be administred, if their faults may not be spoken of? |
| A40080 | But I have one Query, wherein I shall desire your answer, Whether the Quakers think it lawful to pay the King his Revenues? |
| A40080 | But I pray let me ask you what you have to shew for your estate? |
| A40080 | But I pray you consider, is there no use of Books, and Writings? |
| A40080 | But I pray you resolve me thus much, where the Apostles had Tithes, Glebes, and the like? |
| A40080 | But are not all Ministers highly to be blamed in their Lives and Conversation? |
| A40080 | But are not the Ministers, that receive Tithes, Hirelings; and do they not sell the Word of God, and make merchandize of the souls of their people? |
| A40080 | But do you deny all Revelations? |
| A40080 | But do you not remember what a Quaker in my hearing objected to you against Learning: That Tongues are ceas''d? |
| A40080 | But do you not think it a sad thing, that the poorest person should be as lyable as the richest to the payment of Tithes? |
| A40080 | But does not our Saviour say there, Swear not at all, and so do''s he not generally forbid all Oaths whatsoever? |
| A40080 | But doth not all good and evil depend upon the Divine will, and not upon the nature of the thing commanded? |
| A40080 | But have not the Quakers reason to time that Prophecy to this present Age, wherein we live? |
| A40080 | But how then happens this strange variety in the interpretation of Scripture? |
| A40080 | But if our Lord condemns not all civil Titles, what then do these words mean? |
| A40080 | But if those places do truly contain no reason in them; why are the Quakers so sensless themselves, to produce reasons from them? |
| A40080 | But is it not a more agreeable interpretation to say, that the Apostle by Assemblies means all Civil Meetings whatsoever? |
| A40080 | But is there not one clause in the Text you mentioned, which contradicts the sense you have given of it? |
| A40080 | But may not the Angels and we act under different dispensations, so that that may be lawful and commanded them, which to us may be forbidden? |
| A40080 | But may not true and faithful Evidences be given without an Oath? |
| A40080 | But now I pray you shew me what use there can be of Learning in unfolding difficult places in Scripture? |
| A40080 | But the issue of the point will be here; whether it''s lawful to give any Civil respects to the persons of men? |
| A40080 | But the main question is behind, Whether there be any occasion at all which may justifie going to Law? |
| A40080 | But the main question is behind, Whether they purchased the Tithes with those Tenements, if not, where is your grievance? |
| A40080 | But to make it more clear, do you think that Cranmer, Hooper, Ridley, Latimer, Tayler, and Bradford were inclinable to Popery? |
| A40080 | But what do you say to an Oath now under the dispensation of the Gospel? |
| A40080 | But what do you say to that Argument which you will find printed in one of the Quaker''s Books, that God Thou''d Adam, and Adam Thou''d God? |
| A40080 | But what do you say to the third particular in order to applying Scripture seasonably and properly? |
| A40080 | But what do you say to this text? |
| A40080 | But what do you say to those instances I gave you of Noah, Job, and David? |
| A40080 | But where do you read that St. Paul layed his hand on the Bible, and kissed it, when he swore, as you do? |
| A40080 | But while you make use of the term Thou in Religious Offices, why are you not as much bound to use it in Civil communication? |
| A40080 | But why do you say You to one man and Thou to another? |
| A40080 | By what argument is this made good? |
| A40080 | Can there be more sottish ignorance, than to apply Jeremiah''s words either against Tithes, or the Maintenance of the Ministry under the Gospel? |
| A40080 | Can you imagine that the Divine justice will charge upon the Ministry the non- proficiency of their people, when the neglect is not in them? |
| A40080 | Can you suppose then that an evil man can be a Minister of Christ? |
| A40080 | Can your eyes and reason read no sense in them? |
| A40080 | Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to Law, before the unjust, and not before the Saints? |
| A40080 | Did this Confession of his, render him a false Prophet? |
| A40080 | Do they not mistake the Spirit of Core for the Spirit of God? |
| A40080 | Do you call Tithes a temporal right? |
| A40080 | Do you call the receiving of their rights, a selling of their peoples souls? |
| A40080 | Do you suppose that God and Adam discoursed together in English? |
| A40080 | Do you suppose that Text is taken in a literal sense? |
| A40080 | Do you suppose the Apostle contradicts himself? |
| A40080 | Do you suppose then that Tithes are no grievance? |
| A40080 | Do you suppose then that( Assemblies) here signifie places of judgment? |
| A40080 | Do you then deny the Doctrine of Perfection? |
| A40080 | Do you think that all this stir could have been, if they thought it not a sin to demand and receive Tithes? |
| A40080 | Doth he not say that the unlearned and the unstable wrest the Scriptures to their own destruction, and is he himself unlearned? |
| A40080 | Doth not the Apostle here expresly forbid all manner of Oaths? |
| A40080 | Every one that sweareth shal ● … be cut off; these are 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 do you gather from thence? |
| A40080 | Friend wherefore art thou come? |
| A40080 | Had you not more reason to be confirm''d, than alter''d by such a brutish Reply? |
| A40080 | How come you to alledge the testimony of Heathen Authours to prove a Christian duty? |
| A40080 | How do you make it appear that they abuse the Scriptures? |
| A40080 | How do you make that good? |
| A40080 | How does any such voluntary dedication appear? |
| A40080 | How doth that appear to be his sense? |
| A40080 | How so? |
| A40080 | I expected you would have produced Dr. Sherlock''s instances? |
| A40080 | I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? |
| A40080 | I must confess this is an oversight, but wherein doth their dishonesty appear? |
| A40080 | I pray consider whether such blind Guides, and those that follow them be not in danger of falling into the ditch? |
| A40080 | I pray resolve me this question; whether Religion suffer by saying( You) when we address our selves to a single person? |
| A40080 | I pray who are they? |
| A40080 | I remember that was the second particular, that the Scriptures have been wrested; How do you make that good? |
| A40080 | I shall readily embrace your motion, and therefore let me hear what your other scruples are? |
| A40080 | If Tithes are temporal rights, how come you to ● … all them spiritual preferments? |
| A40080 | If all Oaths then be evil, how dare you call them good, or plead for the lawfulness of them? |
| A40080 | If his commands did extend only to Spirituals, why then do Quakers apply them to Temporals, such as civil honour and civil titles are? |
| A40080 | If perfection signify not such a state, as supposeth us absolutely free from all sin, what then doth it signify? |
| A40080 | If they were false Prophets, why do the Quakers use their testimony? |
| A40080 | If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your carnal things? |
| A40080 | Is it not then very improper to upbraid Ministers with the name of Hirelings, when their Salary is called hire? |
| A40080 | Is not that temporal, which contributes to my temporal subsistence? |
| A40080 | Is not this a way to evacuate to the Vulgar all Commands, and all Laws that are not given to every one by audible voice? |
| A40080 | Is there no difference betwixt Peter the Fisherman, and Peter the Disciple? |
| A40080 | Is there not something of a Fanatical † Jesuit here? |
| A40080 | Is this all the fruit of your Doctrines? |
| A40080 | Is this the Doctrine of their dear innocent Richard? |
| A40080 | It is necessarily implyed: for how can he be said to be perfect who is subject to sin? |
| A40080 | It is written in the Law of Moses, thou shalt not muzle the Ox that treadeth out the Corn; Doth God take care for Oxen? |
| A40080 | My meaning is plain: do you allow your Servant to call you Master, or your Child to call you Father? |
| A40080 | Neither be ye called Master: for one is your Master even Christ? |
| A40080 | Now how can we pay the King his dues out of our Tithes, if we receive them not? |
| A40080 | Or did Jeremiah''s ill Success in his Ministry, accuse him, and excuse that Rebellious People among whom he exercised it? |
| A40080 | Or was it not in the Enemy who had mingled Tares therewith? |
| A40080 | Ought not you then to be in all things, as were the Apostles? |
| A40080 | Pray answer me this Query, did Christ''s command there, relate to Spiritual, or Temporal matters? |
| A40080 | Pray tell me how the Quakers instruct you concerning an Oath? |
| A40080 | Pray, who is your Friend, he that saith you have no Enemy, or he that informs you where he lurks? |
| A40080 | Shall the Divine Ordinances, or those to whose Ministration they are committed, be blamed for the ignorance or negligence of the hearers? |
| A40080 | Shall then their publick contempt of Gods Ordinances, give them a priviledge to invade another mans right and property? |
| A40080 | Shall we feed the Flock of Christ, and not eat of the Milk of the Flock? |
| A40080 | That there is great use of Learning now, for the right timing of Scripture, What mean you by that phrase? |
| A40080 | The Apostles Barnabas and Paul cryed among the People, Sirs, why do ye these things? |
| A40080 | The Labourer is worthy of his hire? |
| A40080 | The Socinians maintain the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures, the Church of England doth the same, shall we therefore be branded with Socinianism? |
| A40080 | Then I pray do you tell me what is Popery? |
| A40080 | Then the Question will be here, How you came by that Property in the Tithes you claim as your own? |
| A40080 | Then the question is, Whether Tithes are not purely Ceremonial? |
| A40080 | Though the Leaves and Letters have no natural life in them, is therefore the sense of the Scriptures dead? |
| A40080 | To proceed then, whence learn they that the Word of God is quick and lively? |
| A40080 | To put a speedy end to this debate, pray resolve me whether you own Confession of sin to be the duty of every humble penitent? |
| A40080 | Was Rachel''s Barrenness imputable unto Jacob? |
| A40080 | Was not the old Covenant the Covenant of works, and did not Abraham, Moses, and David live under it? |
| A40080 | What are those proofs? |
| A40080 | What do you infer from all this discourse? |
| A40080 | What do you infer from all this? |
| A40080 | What do you infer from hence? |
| A40080 | What do you mean by that? |
| A40080 | What do you mean by this distinction betwixt times ordinary and times extraordinary? |
| A40080 | What do you mean? |
| A40080 | What do you think of Judas and Nicholas the Deacon? |
| A40080 | What is sin? |
| A40080 | What is the sense of that Scripture? |
| A40080 | What reason have you to suppose that this command had a reference only to that particular juncture? |
| A40080 | What rule have you to prevent mistakes in this kind? |
| A40080 | What then do these words really mean? |
| A40080 | What then is the meaning of that Text? |
| A40080 | What was there in that Reply? |
| A40080 | What? |
| A40080 | When two Brothers came to him for judgment in a Temporal matter, he absolutely refused, and disclaimed all such power, saying, Who made me a Judge? |
| A40080 | Where then is that intolerable grievance, which I perceive is no where to be found, but in the mouths of Fanaticks, and ill affected people? |
| A40080 | Wherein? |
| A40080 | Which be they? |
| A40080 | Who are they whom St. Peter here calls unlearned? |
| A40080 | Who can be so confident to say that he is free from all the Infirmities of his Nature? |
| A40080 | Who dare say that he never speaks, thinks, or acts amiss? |
| A40080 | Who then think you is the slanderer, and who stood at this mans elbow to dictate unto him that wretched untruth? |
| A40080 | Why do you bring in here this idle story? |
| A40080 | Why of impudence and infidelity? |
| A40080 | Will a man rob God? |
| A40080 | Will they prove that St. Peter, who open''d the Scriptures, was an unlearned man? |
| A40080 | Yea, and to render every thing insignificant, that does not walk and speak? |
| A40080 | and animosity, which separates them from our Congregations? |
| A40080 | and bad him, if after enquiry he found no profit by it, further propound this Quaery to himself, Why am I thus? |
| A40080 | and because they neglect their duty, shall therefore our Free- hold suffer? |
| A40080 | and do we not see the Prophecy fulfilled in them? |
| A40080 | and is he still unlearned? |
| A40080 | and is not ours the same case? |
| A40080 | and whilest you have read the commands and threatnings of God, hath your Conscience been so dead, as not to find any life and power in them? |
| A40080 | but I pray resolve me, whether a civil and natural title be not necessary to express a civil and natural relation? |
| A40080 | if it do, declare wherein, if it do not, why do you trouble your own and other mens Consciences in a business wherein Religion is no ways concerned? |
| A40080 | in the Seed or Soil? |
| A40080 | is this a conquering through truth? |
| A40080 | may you not read sense as well as hear it? |
| A40080 | or in the whim in his pate? |
| A40080 | or is it reasonable to think, the people should suffer, for a sin to be committed afterwards? |
| A40080 | or saith he it altogether for our sakes? |
| A40080 | or will an impudent upbraiding of the Minister with his faults, excuse you in the neglect of your duty? |
| A40080 | out of that Bible which they call a dead Letter? |
| A40080 | that is, have a temporal reward for our spiritual service: verse 7. Who goeth a warfare at his own charges? |
| A40080 | that it is not the true Spirit of God, but of prejudice, opposition? |
| A40080 | that when Christians meet at a Feast, or in any place, on whatsoever occasion, they should shew no civil respect whatsoever, to one more than another? |
| A40080 | what so contradictory to that sacred truth you profess to own? |
| A40080 | who then so miserable as they? |
| A40080 | yet ye have robbed me: but ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? |
| A40102 | & c. Now I would know what evil this can be to God, who( it''s true) can incurr no evil, because he can not falsifie? |
| A40102 | ( says he) Is to swear, worse than to steal, or to commit Adultery,& c? |
| A40102 | ( would to God they were all truly so) and how cruel and merciless doth he represent the Priests? |
| A40102 | * By the Law of England a Nobleman is not obliged to give evidence upon Oath: Do''s this argue, that the Law looks upon an Oath as evil? |
| A40102 | * Now I would know why T. E. would use the Authority of such men, that with me are guilty of so fond a conceit, as he fancies this to be? |
| A40102 | * Now what fault finds T. E. with us for saying[ You] to a single Person? |
| A40102 | 1, 2, 3, 4? |
| A40102 | 10. sufficiently prove my Assertion? |
| A40102 | 10.? |
| A40102 | 10? |
| A40102 | 12. Who can tell how oft he offendeth? |
| A40102 | 12? |
| A40102 | 17. and commands them to obey them, and submit themselves,& c. And calls them elswhere* Teachers, Fathers and Pastors? |
| A40102 | 17. in the Rabbinical way of illustration? |
| A40102 | 2. where you will find Bildad speaking thus to Iob, How long will it be ere YOU make an end of words? |
| A40102 | 24? |
| A40102 | 28? |
| A40102 | 3? |
| A40102 | 4? |
| A40102 | 51? |
| A40102 | 9,& c? |
| A40102 | 9. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? |

| A40102 | A Noble man turns a Mansion- House into Tenements, or into an Exchange, is not His property to that house the same which it was before? |
| A40102 | A Term of Honour is a Title, in what part of speech soever it is exprest: What do''s the Quaker think of[ Right Worshipful, and Right Honourable?] |
| A40102 | An ignorant Souldier( who was a Papist, as the story goes) consults his Confessor whether he might take the Oaths? |
| A40102 | And as a little before, Is it the humble, meek, gentle Spirit of Iesus? |
| A40102 | And as for human Learning( which, he says, we trust to;) Is not he himself a Pretender to it in his Book, and equally lyable to the same censure? |
| A40102 | And did not Solomon beg of God a wise and understanding heart? |
| A40102 | And did you never see Clergymens Votes enter''d at one of those Elections? |
| A40102 | And for what did he abhor himself, but for his sin? |
| A40102 | And if no benefit could come to the people by such mens doctrines, what ground had the Apostle to rejoyce? |
| A40102 | And if they be not Proofs, what are they then? |
| A40102 | And indeed what can be more plain, than that our Saviour swore in Judgment as much as any Persons among the Jews in his time were wo nt to do? |
| A40102 | And is T. E. indeed sure he is so? |
| A40102 | And is it unlawful for an honest Man to use an innocent expression of respect, because ill Men may abuse it to pride and flattery? |
| A40102 | And must He be put into the Calendar of the Quakers Martyrs? |
| A40102 | And that the English Subjects ought to quit all the Priviledges that they claim by it? |
| A40102 | And that the Quakers never applied that text to such a sense? |
| A40102 | And then goes on, Do ye not know, that Genii are called Devils? |
| A40102 | And then what has this wise Quaker gotten by this subtle distinction? |
| A40102 | And which of Us does plead for such an Oath? |
| A40102 | And why did he pass by that note I made of St. Paul''s rejoycing, that Christ was preacht, tho''it were from a principle of strife and envy? |
| A40102 | And why do''s he pretend so much to esteem that Learning, which the Translators of the Scripture made use of in that Work? |
| A40102 | And( Thirdly) to your Query, Whether there was not difference between Peter the Fisher- man, and Peter the Disciple? |
| A40102 | Are We and They then in the same circumstances? |
| A40102 | Are all Men, are all Quakers themselves purged from hypocrisie,& c.? |
| A40102 | Are their Bodies vanisht too? |
| A40102 | Are we now devested of all outward capacities and concernments? |
| A40102 | As for the first, what if the Name of Thomas Ellwood be fictitious? |
| A40102 | As if Tithes were of more real value to them, than the word of God explained and applied? |
| A40102 | As to the first part[ But above all things,] Let St. Augustine be the Expositor, Why above all things? |
| A40102 | Ay Indeed? |
| A40102 | Basil did think an Oath was but seemingly allowable during the Law? |
| A40102 | Basil, and that this relation is false? |
| A40102 | Because he forbad more than Moses, does it follow, that he contradicted Moses? |
| A40102 | Besides, What a ridiculous Method is this, which he prescribes of an Interpreter? |
| A40102 | Besides, how comes the Divine Nature to be a sense of the word[ Natural?] |
| A40102 | But I desire to be satisfied, whether any of T. E''s Authors were not guilty with you of this fond conceit? |
| A40102 | But I must ask your Leveller here, what is this to their Civil Capacity? |
| A40102 | But I pray, wherein then is Learning good and serviceable? |
| A40102 | But I wonder why the publishing of my Name must excuse me? |
| A40102 | But T. E. says, If Felons can not be held without Fetters, must True men therefore wear Shackles? |
| A40102 | But T. E. says, If in this life freedom from sin be not attainable, when and where is it? |
| A40102 | But can not God''s mighty Power keep us as well as Age, as an Hour from sin? |
| A40102 | But do you not observe how close he crouds together the remaining instances? |
| A40102 | But do you not remember what was before charged upon these very words, as if they were so scant and particular as to avoid the Question? |
| A40102 | But do''s it at all follow, that because it is no swearing to Call a Creature to Witness, therefore it''s none to call the Creator to Witness ‖? |
| A40102 | But for as much as the contrary is evident, that the Quakers are not endued with this Power, with what confidence can they lay claim to this Promise? |
| A40102 | But he denies your Ministry, when he saith, Hath God sent thene, or do they send one another? |
| A40102 | But he goes on; What Spirit is that which thus rageth? |
| A40102 | But how do you prove your other Particular, that they held the afore- mention''d Document to be eternal? |
| A40102 | But how do''s He resolve it? |
| A40102 | But if we grant that some are so wicked, that they will both lye and forswear; what then? |
| A40102 | But is it not an untruth to call them Masters, and our selves their Servants, who in strictness can not challenge that relation? |
| A40102 | But is this ingenuous of the Quaker from a supposition of his own making, to put me upon proving what I never affirmed? |
| A40102 | But let us seriously consider of the Case: If the Clergy must not have the revenue they are in possession of, who must? |
| A40102 | But still T. E. replies, How great a derogation is this from the Honour of Christianity? |
| A40102 | But the question is, whether such a Law be taken away? |
| A40102 | But then do''s not the same David say, give me understanding, and I shall keep thy Law? |
| A40102 | But then he enquires, where it s vested: in whom( saith He) doth it lie? |
| A40102 | But then let Ellwood shew, where the Church of England makes any publick Confession in the Present tense? |
| A40102 | But then what is all this to the present payers of Tithes? |
| A40102 | But there are two things which I shall offer to your consideration: First, Whether a bare Name be a sufficient caution and security? |
| A40102 | But to let that pass, what Quakers do you charge with this Omission? |
| A40102 | But to let that pass: Did ever Christ establish such an equality, as to take away all superiority and subordination? |
| A40102 | But to your other particular; How can the Author to the Hebrews be included in this charge? |
| A40102 | But were not those the unbelieving Jews? |
| A40102 | But what I wonder do the Impropriators for the People, which deserve so great a compensation? |
| A40102 | But what do''s Fox say of Swinderby? |
| A40102 | But what is the reason, T. E. charges you with mis- stating the Case in declaiming against the Impossibility of sinning? |
| A40102 | But what was that to his Disciples( says he?) |
| A40102 | But what wilt thou say to me of the Old Covenant? |
| A40102 | But when will you call it a necessity? |
| A40102 | But where do''s he find that any of these relyed on immediate Inspiration, or disputed against the use of Humane Learning in Divinity? |
| A40102 | But wherein do''s our Ministry disagree with the Divine Institution? |
| A40102 | But why might not he be a Preacher as well as his Collegue St. Stephen? |
| A40102 | But will he not( think you) allow the Primitive Christians to be as good men, as the Heathen Romans before their Empire? |
| A40102 | But will it sollow, That because I conceal my Name( for reasons best known to my self,) I conceal the truth even then, when I publish it to the world? |
| A40102 | But you write your self a lover of truth; therefore, since truth seeks no corners, what should induce you to conceal your Name? |
| A40102 | But( he says) the question is, whether a constant course of Confession be a duty? |
| A40102 | By what certain mark shall we knowmens Integrity? |
| A40102 | Cals He this demonstration, when He has so stated the Case, that no certain estimate can be made of the Tithes of such a Farm? |
| A40102 | Can you make a difference between a man and his person? |
| A40102 | Christ did so too: Did they lye upon Beds when they ate the Passover? |
| A40102 | Christ did so too: Did they sit when they Preached? |
| A40102 | Christ did so too; though God never commanded it: Did the Jews observe the Feast of Dedication, a Feast of their own institution? |
| A40102 | Could a more malicious and uncharitable interpretation be put upon my words? |
| A40102 | Could all the Musicians in the World be Iubal''s natural Sons? |
| A40102 | Did ever Man tye unequal things together at this rate? |
| A40102 | Did not he mis- spend his Time in producing these testimonies? |
| A40102 | Did our Common- wealths- man here remember, that Christ was born and lived under the Roman Empire, and paid obedience to it? |
| A40102 | Did our Saviour contrary to his Nature speak an untruth? |
| A40102 | Did our Saviour swear, when he said Amen Amen, or Verily Verily? |
| A40102 | Did the Epistle to the Hebrews come into the World without the Name of its Author? |
| A40102 | Did they stand in the Synagogues when the Scriptures were read? |
| A40102 | Did this prove that to Christians all outward things are vanisht, and such things as no way belonged to that Priesthood? |
| A40102 | Did you ever doubt it? |
| A40102 | Do not these Teachers use this as a piece of Craft to reserve to themselves a liberty to preach what Doctrine, yea what heresy they please? |
| A40102 | Do the Quakers then suffer for such things as are meerly indifferent? |
| A40102 | Do the Quakers understand, what the word they are contending for signifies? |
| A40102 | Do they so? |
| A40102 | Do you not remember what character T. E. gives of Philpot? |
| A40102 | Do you suppose T. E. himself could be ignorant of a truth so obvious? |
| A40102 | Do''s he call the First- fruits and Tenths my Crow? |
| A40102 | Do''s he commend him for Courteous deportment? |
| A40102 | Do''s it import any more, than honour, favour and kindness? |
| A40102 | Do''s not St. Paul say there, that they are able to make us wise unto Salvation through Faith? |
| A40102 | Do''s not every body know these to be Titles? |
| A40102 | Do''s not this Quaker( think you) instruct the People very graciously? |
| A40102 | Do''s not this contradict and make void their pretence of the Spirit''s Moving them? |
| A40102 | Do''s this prove that Christ was no Reformer? |
| A40102 | Does he suppose then that my words take all the People into the charge of non- proficiency? |
| A40102 | Doth St. Iames say, We All curse? |
| A40102 | For what assurance have they of the sincerity of any of their Speakers, who may have drifts and designs much different from what they pretend to? |
| A40102 | G. F? |
| A40102 | Has Christ''s death done no good to the avoiding of Condemnation? |
| A40102 | Has He not a property to such a Sum, though not to any particular Coin, till such time as he hath received it? |
| A40102 | Has not he lost here his Argument to save his Jest? |
| A40102 | Has not our Wise Quaker here shot very wide of the mark? |
| A40102 | Has not the Quaker forgot himself here? |
| A40102 | Has not therefore the Quaker mended the matter well? |
| A40102 | Has the Quakers received some new dispensation from Heaven? |
| A40102 | Hast thou thought M ● … worthy to rule over all that thou hast, † And now darest not trust me in this matter, without an Oath? |
| A40102 | Have I any power to say any thing, saith Balaam? |
| A40102 | Have not divers Quakers stript themselves stark naked, and said the Spirit bid them deliver such and such a Message in that posture? |
| A40102 | He being engaged in a Disputation with the Arch- Bishop of York, and being asked[ what the opinion of the Donatists was?] |
| A40102 | He did the same: Did they eat Bread and Wine after the Paschal Lamb? |
| A40102 | He needed not to have so gravely told us, that the Hebrew is not defective of numbers; for who knoweth not, that no Language can be without them? |
| A40102 | He propounds the Question himself: And what is the Office? |
| A40102 | Here he either dissembles his ignorance, or not; If he dissemble,( let his design be what it will, for which he do''s it;) who is the hypocrite then? |
| A40102 | Here''s an Execration: Now what Christian precept doth it oppose? |
| A40102 | Here''s another fallacy; Do I in any part of my Book make[ form] the genus of an Oath? |
| A40102 | Here''s now the Execration: And does the High God in this acknowledge some other Being superiour to himself? |
| A40102 | His Example did not compel you to be Bad: And if you Discerned his Instructions to be GOOD, why then did you not follow them? |
| A40102 | How compassionate doth he make the Landlord? |
| A40102 | How he is infallibly certain, he has obtain''d to an absolute unsinning state of Perfection? |
| A40102 | How much better had He been imploy''d, had he gone about to have heal''d, and not( as He do''s) to widen our unhappy breaches? |
| A40102 | How will Ellwood deny this? |
| A40102 | I believe, He will; and I ask Why? |
| A40102 | I doubt it''s the Quaker that has here besool''d himself; Yet do not you take notice of that Heavenly expression of his after it? |
| A40102 | I know that after death there can be no relation by Nature or Law: But why do you fetch an instance from Hell? |
| A40102 | I must also ask him, how he infallibly knows, that all his sins are for ever pardon''d? |
| A40102 | I must therefore ask this bold Interpreter; What Resurrection is then meant? |
| A40102 | I pray then what blood was left in Wicklifs bones, after they had been buried 41 years? |
| A40102 | I pray you, seeing T. E. trades so much in Beza, Has he no note upon this place? |
| A40102 | I pray, do you remember, what answer a Quaker lately gave to one, who urged this example of St. Paul for Civil Titles? |
| A40102 | I repent, and abhor my self,& c. What should he repent of, if he had no sin? |
| A40102 | I thought the question had not been, Whether perjury, but whether any Oaths were lawful? |
| A40102 | I will ask you another question concerning David, who brought in and used Musical Instruments in the service of God; who, I pray, was his Father? |
| A40102 | If He did, whom did he swear by? |
| A40102 | If Oaths were seldom used in Judicature, do''s it necessarily follow that they were never used in Judicature? |
| A40102 | If T. E. could not be ignorant in so plain a Case, what can be his design here? |
| A40102 | If he do not dissemble, but is truly as ignorant as he seems to be; how is such a man qualified to censure the constitution of a Church? |
| A40102 | If he mean that some Ministers only are scandalous; why had he not the honesty to express it, to free the innocent? |
| A40102 | If not, how comes it to be lawful to go to Law now in civil Cases, when twenty years ago the same thing was denied by them as unlawful? |
| A40102 | If so, why do''s he make use of it himself in a Controversie of Religion? |
| A40102 | If the Clergy must not gain by the Charter, why must the Laity have the advantage of it, who have a valuable consideration for what they pay? |
| A40102 | If then it be truly so, why will they be any occasion to bring a disgrace and reproach upon Christianity? |
| A40102 | If there were not truth enough among men, do you think there is not truth enough in Angels neither, to make their bare testimony of sufficient Credit? |
| A40102 | If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord who shall stand? |
| A40102 | If truth be spoken, who is slander''d? |
| A40102 | If we had a Mad- man, who would be likely to break all the Cords we have to tye him with, shall we let him run loose? |
| A40102 | In Thy sight shall no Man living be justified,& c? |
| A40102 | Is Idolatry of that contaminating nature, that no reformation can purge it? |
| A40102 | Is Melchizedeck''s Priesthood greater or better than that of Aarons, because Abraham gave him Tithes? |
| A40102 | Is Natural ever used for the Divine Nature? |
| A40102 | Is T. E. the Man think you? |
| A40102 | Is every Man, that can write his own hand- writing, fit to be a Writing- master? |
| A40102 | Is he angry then that I quote Scripture aright? |
| A40102 | Is his confidence come to I think? |
| A40102 | Is it an untruth to profess a Duty? |
| A40102 | Is it not a wonder, that his Answer was not, Here the Priest deals dishonestly with us? |
| A40102 | Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? |
| A40102 | Is it reasonable wholly to pass an Estate from them and their Heirs for ever, and yet repugnant to reason to grant but a part of that Estate for ever? |
| A40102 | Is it the humble, meek gentle Spirit of Iesus, or the haughty, proud, exalted Spirit of Lucifer? |
| A40102 | Is not here a dreadful charge, though no Author''s name for caution? |
| A40102 | Is not respecting men and the persons of men all one? |
| A40102 | Is not the Analogy the same? |
| A40102 | Is not this a modest Quaker think you? |
| A40102 | Is there but one Lesson( says T. F.) for all degrees? |
| A40102 | Is thine Eye evil because I am good? |
| A40102 | Is this an Answer to a Question? |
| A40102 | Is this an honest way of answering Books, by making a false quotation, in order to a false inference? |
| A40102 | Is this the Quaker''s Divinity, to say this would have been well replyed, That the Sermons of his duty to God and man made little impression upon him? |
| A40102 | Is this to consute my Assertion? |
| A40102 | It seems he positively declares Swearing in cases of necessity to be lawful; But can you prove that he ever swore himself? |
| A40102 | It was custom that made them so: But what were those times and Men which he calls the best? |
| A40102 | It was disputed in the Popish Schools, Whether a Clergy man could be guilty of Treason against a Temporal Prince? |
| A40102 | Just now an Oath was a Mode of Truth, and now''t is a Type of Truth; Can any thing be a Mode and a Type of the same thing? |
| A40102 | Let your loins be girded about, and you Lights burning; And ye your selves like unto MEN* that wait for their Lord,& c.? |
| A40102 | May not the most perfect Man in the World say all this? |
| A40102 | Might not Abraham''s Servant thus have answered his Master requiring an Oath of him, when he sent him to fetch a Wife for his Son Isaac? |
| A40102 | Might not all this have been said against Oaths before and in the time of the Law? |
| A40102 | Might not he have said, Have I been so long in thy Pious Family? |
| A40102 | Might not the Quaker with equal modesty deny, that ever his Brethren used to Quake and Foam, as deny a thing so generally known as this is? |
| A40102 | Might not they have argued at Ellwood''s rate, Hast not thou commanded us to observe and do, whatsoever the Scribes and Pharisees bid us? |
| A40102 | Ministers are by their Office to direct and rebuke; and if they were servants to the people, would it become them so to do? |
| A40102 | Must not then this be a New Revelation in their own sense? |
| A40102 | My reply then being as comprehensive as the Question, how was it avoided, when it was fully answered? |
| A40102 | Nay do''s it not look like a design laid to mis- state our Principles and misrepresent us to the world? |
| A40102 | Nay, what lawful Authority had the Corinthians over him to require an Oath of him? |
| A40102 | No going forward? |
| A40102 | No proficiency, no improvement? |
| A40102 | No redemption? |
| A40102 | No, how should it? |
| A40102 | Nonne debui facere quod possum, si non potui totum quod volui †? |
| A40102 | Now I desire to know where he undertook to disprove that the Angel swore? |
| A40102 | Now as kind as he makes them, do they use the People better than the merciless Priests? |
| A40102 | Now do''s St. Iames give a general prohibition against all Respects, both inward and outward, none excepted? |
| A40102 | Now had the Quaker found my Argument really faulty, why did he not strike at the foundation of it? |
| A40102 | Now how do''s this Title hold by Nature or Law? |
| A40102 | Now if he were living, of how great Sacrilege would he accuse the Quakers, who not only take away the Cup, but utterly deny both the Sacraments? |
| A40102 | Now if some, or many of the Quakers be laughed out of this absurdity, must my honesty be taxed, because they vary from themselves and one another? |
| A40102 | Now if these were Godly Martyrs, why must we be accounted Ungodly, for retaining the same Doctrins and Constitutions? |
| A40102 | Now is it likely, that Eusebius would record Basilides a Martyr, for obstinately refusing that thing, which himself counted lawful? |
| A40102 | Now is it usual with Impropriators thus to bespeak the People? |
| A40102 | Now let Ellwood, ask, what Notion the Holy Ghost has of Perfection, who records Asa both perfect and a sinner? |
| A40102 | Now let me ask, By what Figure he makes two Men one? |
| A40102 | Now shall we argue that this was Idolatry, and therefore Magna Charta was ipso facto voyd? |
| A40102 | Now since T. E. pretends to understand Greek, and this passage being in my Book, How came he to pass it by? |
| A40102 | Now then let the Quaker consider, how impertinent his Queries of St. Paul are, p. 161. Who called him to it? |
| A40102 | Now then the question( he says) naturally arises, Why would the Bishop admit such hypocrites into such sacred Offices? |
| A40102 | Now then( says he) let us consider, If Paul had sworn, who called him to it? |
| A40102 | Now to what end is a quotation brought, but to prove the Subject in hand? |
| A40102 | Now what do you think of the Quaker and his friends? |
| A40102 | Now where is the untruth? |
| A40102 | Now which of these were due either by Nature or Law? |
| A40102 | Now who is at a loss here? |
| A40102 | One thing let me ask you concerning St. Paul, Whether think you, was he a Married Man, or no? |
| A40102 | Or did he consider that afterwards many of the Emperors themselves proved zealous Patrons of Christianity? |
| A40102 | Or did he not rather in this passage intimate to us, that a Title of Civility is no untruth to whomsoever it is given, though to an enemy? |
| A40102 | Or do We Preach peace to impenitent sinners? |
| A40102 | Or every Clown, that can draw a Bill or Bond, fit to be a Counsellor or a Judge? |
| A40102 | Or every Souldier, that can handle his Arms, fit to be a General? |
| A40102 | Or is it arbitrary, in the choice of men in each particular Society? |
| A40102 | Or was he got so high, as to stand in need of the Quakers to help him down? |
| A40102 | Or when I may deliver my self from a base aspersion? |
| A40102 | Or will an impudent upbraiding your Minister with his faults excuse you in the neglect of your duty? |
| A40102 | Quit you like men? |
| A40102 | Seeing the Quaker talks so big against Idolatry, I must bespeak him in St. Pauls Language: Thou that abhorrest Idols, dost thou commit Saledge? |
| A40102 | So that I shall reply upon him with his own words, Did he consider what he writ? |
| A40102 | St. Luke call''d Theophilus Most Excellent; will the Quaker say, he had set him so high, as to make him excel God, or at least to be Equal with him? |
| A40102 | Suppose I grant it, what then? |
| A40102 | Suppose it had, what is it the worse for that? |
| A40102 | Suppose it were; Did Christ use to deliver Parables in such terms, as were opposit to his own Commands? |
| A40102 | T. E. is out again; Is writing Epistles ordinary Communication? |
| A40102 | That God Thou''d Adam, and Adam Thou''d God; you stopt my mouth by asking, whether the Discourse was in English? |
| A40102 | That is, must the Spirit just come, when the Stomach comes? |
| A40102 | That it had been made an Instrument of establishing such happy Leagues and bands of Amity, and that Contention and Strife were ended by it? |
| A40102 | The Apostles were Ministers, and did the people think them their servants? |
| A40102 | The Church is compared to an Army; and are the Leaders and Officers in an Army, Servants to the common Soldiers? |
| A40102 | The Quaker is out again; Where did he ever read of inferiour Pharisees? |
| A40102 | The answer as naturally follows( in his own words;) Why? |
| A40102 | Then farewell all swearing? |
| A40102 | Then he enquires of them, Whether they unfeignedly beleive, that the holy Scriptures contain all Doctrines necessary to salvation? |
| A40102 | Therefore thou must daily say this Prayer( saith St. Ambrose) that thou may''st daily ask pardon for thine Offences? |
| A40102 | Therefore when you were so inclined to Quakerism, would you have turn''d to you knew not what? |
| A40102 | These may be the senses of the word[ Nature;] but would any but a Natural have brought in these to expound Natural Religion? |
| A40102 | They are Epithets of Honour, and what are those but Titles? |
| A40102 | They swear by God, by Christ, and by the Holy Ghost †,& c. And what Christians ever scrupled this? |
| A40102 | To Petition God is Divine Worship, is it therefore Divine Worship to Petition the King? |
| A40102 | To honour a man is to respect him; to favour a man is to respect him; to be kind to a man is to shew respects to him; Are these sins? |
| A40102 | To that Law you mention''d of both parties sitting or standing to avoid partiality,& c. T. E. answers, Whence had they it? |
| A40102 | To this I answer, if Cherillus thought all Oaths bad in themselves, how comes he to account some Oaths just? |
| A40102 | Was Christ''s time then no time of Reformation? |
| A40102 | Was not its expediency sufficiently proved even by your Confession? |
| A40102 | Was not( says he) Circumcision in the Flesh used before the Levitical Law was given? |
| A40102 | Was there ever so dull a comparison? |
| A40102 | Was there ever so gross an absurdity? |
| A40102 | We can speak no where, but in the presence of God: what security is this to the Magistrate? |
| A40102 | Were Timothy and Titus Ministers only of Man''s making, because they were ordain''d by imposition of hands? |
| A40102 | Were all the perceptions and opinions of the Jewish Council express Truths? |
| A40102 | Were not Beasts sacrifiecd long before the Levitical Law was given? |
| A40102 | Were those the respects which afterwards you objected against? |
| A40102 | What I pray do''s this bespeak, but pride and arrogance? |
| A40102 | What Office do''s He mean by Office? |
| A40102 | What a pitiful piece of Sophistry is this? |
| A40102 | What can be more plain than that saying of St. Paul? |
| A40102 | What can he mean by it, but your going to the Bishop for Orders, as common experience shews you do? |
| A40102 | What do you mean by an Indefinite Proposition? |
| A40102 | What else is this, but to mis- spend your Time, and bestow many a doughty blow upon your own shadow? |
| A40102 | What if I use an Oath unwillingly, but to free me from danger? |
| A40102 | What if we be drawn by Necessity to give an Oath? |
| A40102 | What jealousies will not malice and Prejudice suggest, of the Holiest man on earth? |
| A40102 | What kind of Religion is this of the Quakers, whereof their Leaders either can not, or dare not give any entire and intelligible account? |
| A40102 | What makes you smile? |
| A40102 | What mark will T. E. assign us to distinguish it from an Act of Positive Religion, according to his own distinction, p. 110.? |
| A40102 | What then should he mean by saying, We send one another, and by that common experience, which( he says) shews that we are Ministers of Man''s making? |
| A40102 | What then? |
| A40102 | What then? |
| A40102 | What was then that Popish Office? |
| A40102 | What''s that? |
| A40102 | What, Melchizedecks Priesthood above Aarons, because Abraham gave him Tithes? |
| A40102 | What? |
| A40102 | What? |
| A40102 | When do these new Lights speak with new Tongues? |
| A40102 | When then, and on what occasion do you allow us to Swear? |
| A40102 | Where do''s any of those Instances deny it? |
| A40102 | Where is his honesty thus to pervert my words? |
| A40102 | Where said I any thing to import the contrary? |
| A40102 | Where was there any such relation, as Ellwood talks of? |
| A40102 | Where( I wonder) do''s Christ deny them? |
| A40102 | Whereupon T. E. asks, Was nothing then Ceremonial, that was used by the Patriarchs before the Levitical Law given? |
| A40102 | Whether the best of Men can attain such a Perfection, as that they need not, or ought not to acknowledge themselves sinners and Offenders? |
| A40102 | Who ever before this Quaker required a Statute to prove a Freehold? |
| A40102 | Who ever reproved the Emperors for requiring or the Souldiers for taking this Oath? |
| A40102 | Who knows not that the Jews did always leave out[ As] in their Oaths? |
| A40102 | Who required it of him? |
| A40102 | Who required it of him? |
| A40102 | Who said so? |
| A40102 | Who''s that? |
| A40102 | Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? |
| A40102 | Whose crime? |
| A40102 | Why did he not rather tell his Brethren, that they did not observe their Decorum? |
| A40102 | Why did you not consider what they were, rather than from whom they came? |
| A40102 | Why didst thou not rather dye? |
| A40102 | Why do''s T. E. commend their zeal for refusing all Oaths, seeing they could not be evil to Them? |
| A40102 | Why do''s he rail against me and tax my honesty? |
| A40102 | Why do''s not T. E. tell them as much? |
| A40102 | Why not a limitation in swearing as in other things? |
| A40102 | Why then did you make way to hook it in, under the notion of indifferency, as T. E. tells us? |
| A40102 | Why then do the Quakers contradict their own Tenent? |
| A40102 | Why then may not our Saviour''s words be restrained to what follows after, according to that plain account which I have given you? |
| A40102 | Why then should he here exclude a duly circumstantiated Oath, which in its primary designation is an Act of Justice, as I told you in the Conference? |
| A40102 | Why therefore must[ We] be necessarily so taken here? |
| A40102 | Why? |
| A40102 | Wil you tell the great Iudg at the Grat day, that your non proficiency was occasioned by the scandalous life of your Minister? |
| A40102 | Will T. E. find out the Heirs of Ethelwolf, and of that People who joyned with him in the Donation? |
| A40102 | Wilt Thou( who hast given us so many instructions ‖ to fidelity) enjoyn a sincere and upright Man to wear the Badge of Hypocrisie, an Oath? |
| A40102 | Wilt thou make no distinction between the virtuous and the vitious, the True Man and the False, the sincere and Hypocrite, the Good and the Bad? |
| A40102 | With what dint of Argument might a Jew( upon Ellwoods Principles) implead Christianity it self? |
| A40102 | Yea, do''s not this passage look like a design laid to mistake their Principles? |
| A40102 | Yes, he said, Perhaps Noble was his Christian Name: But why do you remind me of this? |
| A40102 | You say well: But what if I pitch upon Cranmer, Ridley, Latimer, Hooper, Philpot, Bradford and Taylor? |
| A40102 | [ If] what then? |
| A40102 | [ there is not a just Man upon Earth, that doth good& sinneth not?] |
| A40102 | and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? |
| A40102 | and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted thine eyes on high? |
| A40102 | and do''s he know the hour and minute when he first arrived to this state, and might take confidence to conclude of his absolute perfection? |
| A40102 | and is this same clause now made so large by him, as to include all the People? |
| A40102 | and made one part of his Book inconsistent with another? |
| A40102 | and that They were not a fit Company to represent the Body of the Quakers? |
| A40102 | and then will he not contradict himself, when he saith, He came not to destroy the Law? |
| A40102 | but how do''s he prove it? |
| A40102 | but the question was, whether Iudas was a Good man or Bad, during the exercise of his Apostolical Function, before that Treason was committed? |
| A40102 | doing Iustice, and shewing Mercy Moral and eternal Precepts? |
| A40102 | doth[ All] in the former place signifie Nothing? |
| A40102 | dubious, whether he should attain Conversion? |
| A40102 | every lyar speaks in the presence of God: For where can he flee from his presence? |
| A40102 | for ever, to such and such uses? |
| A40102 | how can I do it? |
| A40102 | if( forsooth) they must be a Crow, is it mine or the Kings? |
| A40102 | in the Scripture? |
| A40102 | is it in the Person of the Priest? |
| A40102 | may the people well say, we are now in worse case then before; for how shall we be assured, they are not most of them such? |
| A40102 | no pardon for Penitents? |
| A40102 | of this I said sufficiently in the Conference; but let me ask you further; Is there any one general rule of speech appointed by God? |
| A40102 | or are the Saints, who are partakers of it, any where called Natural men? |
| A40102 | or how he should be able to maintain it? |
| A40102 | or in the Whim in his Pate? |
| A40102 | or make Alms- deeds, Fasting and Prayer unlawful? |
| A40102 | or mens fathering the impertinences and disorders of such effusions upon the Spirit of God? |
| A40102 | or suppose I had; Are all forms Ceremonies? |
| A40102 | or that I am not a lover of it? |
| A40102 | or that he had no sin in him? |
| A40102 | or that my Book is not the truth? |
| A40102 | or the haughty proud exalted Spirit of Lucifer? |
| A40102 | or to countenance extempore Prayers in God''s publick and ordinary Worship? |
| A40102 | or to tell them, that he had not yet attained the full measure of his Perfection, and the end of his Hope, but was only in the Race,& c? |
| A40102 | or which way is it unsuitable to the nature and purity of the Gospel? |
| A40102 | or will it not be said to them at the great day, Who required this at your hands? |
| A40102 | p. 188? |
| A40102 | p. 275? |
| A40102 | self- contradictions baffle his new- coin''d sense? |
| A40102 | should the ignorant vulgar do it? |
| A40102 | that of the scandalous Ministers? |
| A40102 | that''s false even from Christian Principles: Did not Iesus himself say, that it was more blessed to give than to receive? |
| A40102 | the answer is, that more is required by Christ than Moses: Is refining and elevating a Law, an abolishing and repealing of it? |
| A40102 | those the best times, and best men, in the very height of Paganism and Idolatry? |
| A40102 | thou wast so at thy first coming into this School; What? |
| A40102 | to a dangerous Religion you can not see to the bottom of? |
| A40102 | useth to think the best? |
| A40102 | what better way, nay, what other way to prove it? |
| A40102 | what strange Castles in the Ayr do''s this Quaker, and other Separatists attempt to build upon this mistaken passage? |
| A40102 | when I may free a good man? |
| A40102 | where is his honesty, so apparently to prevaricate? |
| A40102 | who do they think will thank''em for it another day? |
| A40102 | who said so? |
| A40102 | who, but Iesse? |
| A40102 | why might he not say, he was so? |
| A40102 | will you thence conclude that Circumcision, and these Sacrifices are parts of the moral and eternal Law? |
| A40102 | — these are evil in themselves, so is not swearing,* Why then must we avoid Oaths above all? |
| A40102 | † Hear also Tertullian as to this point? |
