A85415 | Are not most of your own Doctrines found amongst the Tenets of Arminius? |
A85415 | Are those opinions erroneous, or hereticall in Independents, which are orthodox and Canonicall in Presbyterians? |
A85415 | B. brought upon the Stage, as well as I. G. in the habite and reproach of an Erroneous and Hereticall man? |
A85415 | But I beseech you, tell me seriously: is it matter of conscience indeed with you, to punish the innocent with the guilty? |
A85415 | Can the children of this Profession be ignorant, that there are amongst themselves discrepances in judgements, and contrarieties in opinions? |
A85415 | Delicti fies idem reprehensor,& Author? |
A85415 | Doe you not want Errours and Heresies to complete your catologue& roll, when you are necessitated to muster and take in such as these? |
A85415 | For how often doe they dissemble and prevaricate with their professions? |
A85415 | For what can reasonably be meant, by a testimony to our Solemne League and Covenant? |
A85415 | For what? |
A85415 | Have I not then reason to doubt, whether any of those men of renowne, and not rather some petty Scribe, was the Compiler of it? |
A85415 | If so, I desire to know where, or in what part of the booke, they give testimony unto the Truth of Jesus Christ? |
A85415 | If there be no Free- will, how doth he judg the world e? |
A85415 | If there be no grace of God( saith he) how doth he save the world? |
A85415 | Is their love any whit more extensive, than only to cover the multitude of their owne sins? |
A85415 | Is there any need of charging a stone, that it doe not speake; or a deafe man, that he doe not hear; or a blind man, that he doe not see? |
A85415 | Is this the Suprcma lex in the Republique of Presbyterie? |
A85415 | Is this to appeare for God, or his truth, to appeare against evident reason, yea common sence it selfe? |
A85415 | Is this your reall Reformation, to cry out Midnight when the Sunne shines in his might upon your faces? |
A85415 | Mr. Ash, Mr. Candrey, Mr. Calamie, Mr. Burgesse? |
A85415 | Must we needs speake nothing but non- sence, and inconsistencies, to be free from Errours and Heresies? |
A85415 | Or doth not this plainly imply, that there is apprehension of errour in the respective Dissenters amonst them? |
A85415 | Or he that sowes only tares in his field, to finde himselfe agrieved, that the earth makes him not a returne in wheate? |
A85415 | Some of you( I suppose) can not be ignorant, but that they are: but doe you therefore judge them Errours or Heresies? |
A85415 | The said Testimony produceth my Errors& Heresies( so called) by whole pages,& half pages, as if it were loth to leave any romth for other mens? |
A85415 | Was it to represent me to your Reader as a man of monstrous and prodigious errours? |
A85415 | and again; where, and in what other part of it, they give testimony against Errours and Heresies? |
A85415 | and not rather a direct course to harden and strengthen men in both? |
A85415 | commend the governement, whereunto the hearts of the Authors seeme to be so impotently lifted up, by the successe wherewith it hath been crowned? |
A85415 | e Si non sit Dei gratia, quomodo salvat mundum? |
A85415 | lest the world should frowne upon them? |
A85415 | or their zeale, than to censure and punish the sins of other men? |
A85415 | rank''d amongst infamous and pernicious Errours? |
A85415 | the Author, and rough Censor both Of the same crime? |
A85419 | 3. e Quando audisti, Clementissime Imperator, in causa fidei Laicos de Episcopo judicasse? |
A85419 | If he may, from whom, or by whom, shall this surplussage of power be conceived to be derived unto him? |
A85419 | Man, who hath made me a Judg, or Divider over you? |
A85419 | Or in case a Christian State should thus practise, would it not be a snare of confirmation and obduration upon the Mahometan in his way? |
A85419 | Or is it a thing equitable or lawful to impose Mulcts and Penalties upon blind men, whose eyes were put out by their parents, because they see not? |
A85419 | Or is their fact in preaching the Gospel upon such terms, and before any publique approbation, any ways censurable by the Word of God? |
A85419 | Or ought not rather the Heads and Principals in such Tumults be enquired out, and punished? |
A85419 | Or was the Ark of God in any real danger of suffering inconvenience by the shaking of the Oxen, in case Vzzah had not intermedled to prevent it? |
A85419 | Or whether is a Christian State any whit the more like to receive countenance or blessing from God, for such practices in it as these? |
A85419 | Or who, according to the Word of God, shall be judged meet to umpire in this so great and difficult an affair? |
A85419 | The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go, and gather them up? |
A85419 | Whether is not the manifestation of the Spirit( as the Apostle termeth the manifest gifts of the Spirit of God) given to every man to profit withall? |
A85419 | and again, Neither be ye called Masters? |
A85419 | and that there is no infallible Judg on Earth in Controversies incident to Christian Religion? |
A85419 | and whether was not God offended with him notwithstanding, making a breach upon him by slaying him in the place? |
A85419 | or upon what account can be justifie himself in the exercise of it? |
A85400 | 21. that he spake concerning the Temple of his body? |
A85400 | And if Ministers be invested in the Propheticall office of Christ, how dares Mr Prynne refuse to hearken unto them? |
A85400 | And is there any harme in this counsell or contrariety either to the Policy or Practice of any wise or godly man? |
A85400 | And where is the prediction of his delivering up his Kingdome unto his Father, if he hath delivered it up( or down rather) unto men? |
A85400 | But if he means, one and the same ministeriall and visible Church, we answer, by demanding, How can this thing be? |
A85400 | For 1. if such members when excommunicated, doe not actually cease to be members, I would know whether then they cease to be such potentially onely? |
A85400 | For are not the Offices of Christ incommunicable? |
A85400 | For who is there that would set a bungler on work, that hath judgement and reason enough to chuse a Master- workman? |
A85400 | He might rationally enough have argued and concluded here; Why not the one as well as the other? |
A85400 | Or may we, or can we differ in judgement from that, which is not contrary to our opinion? |
A85400 | Otherwise how shall they who have no skill in their professions, come to know or understand, so much as by conjecture, who are the best in them? |
A85400 | The reason is plaine: because the evill Spirit that said a, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; yet said to the Exorcists, but who are yee? |
A85400 | The tenor of the place is this; And when thou art spoyled, what wilt thou doe? |
A85400 | There may be many reasons why one man closeth not with another in point of judgement( and consequently why not in practice also?) |
A85400 | What contentiones, quarrels, emulations, suits amongst them from day to day, any such subordination or subjection notwithstanding? |
A85400 | What inconvenience is there in this? |
A85400 | Where is then the promise of the Everlastingnesse of his Kingdome, and of the continuance of his dominion throughout all ages? |
A85400 | Whom shall we rather beleeve concerning God, then God himself? |
A85400 | appropriable only unto him who is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, God& Man, and Mediator? |
A85400 | or ingage himself in a theologicall warre against them, having no part or fellowship in this office himself? |
A85400 | or the best strong waters out of the vilest lees? |
A85400 | singularized with this parenthesis,[ a noted place]? |
A85400 | the most Orient pearles out of the basest Oysters? |
A85400 | the most Orient pearles, out of the basest Oysters? |
A85400 | the richest mineralls out of the coursest earth? |
A85400 | the richest mineralls out of the coursest earth? |
A85400 | yea, or to this; that no Doctrine or Way ought to be suppressed, untill it be certainly known, whether they be from God, or no? |
A85416 | 1. Who is this that darkneth counsell by words without knowlege? |
A85416 | And whether are these weapons carnall, or spirituall? |
A85416 | And whether doe not they, who here seeke to plucke up the tares, by such an Ordinance, plucke up the wheat also there, by the same? |
A85416 | Are they bound to beleeve in this kinde( I mean, beyond what they are able to comprehend by reason) without measure, bounds, or limits? |
A85416 | If so, are they bound to beleeve all things without exception, that shall any wayes, or by any hand be presented unto them? |
A85416 | In what sence doth the Ordinance make it erroneous and punishable, to hold, that God seeth no sin in the justified? |
A85416 | O ● what repugnancy is there in either of those things, unto any of these? |
A85416 | Or doth it intend, all, and all manner of Government by Presbytery, in what sense or notion soever? |
A85416 | Or who have any power or authority from God to appoint Judges in such cases as they please? |
A85416 | Quid ergo saviunt, ut Stulticiam suam dum minuere volunt, augeant? |
A85416 | Quid prodest habere zelum Dei,& non- habere scientiam Dei? |
A85416 | What does the Ordinance mean, by blasph ● ming the name of God, or any of the Holy Trinity? |
A85416 | What doth the Ordinance mean, by impugning the word of God? |
A85416 | What doth the Ordinance mean, by publishing Doctrines with obstinacy? |
A85416 | Whether was there ever any such Ordinance, or State act, ever heard of, or knowne, in any the Reformed Churches? |
A85416 | doth it mean any kinde or degree of sin, against the third Commandement? |
A85416 | doth it mean, the opposing by way of argument and discourse, every truth contained and delivered in the Word of God? |
A85416 | inasmuch as there is a sence,( if not more then one) wherein it is most certainly true, that God seeth no sin in such persons( a)? |
A85416 | nay, who place a great part of their Christianity, in walking, if not contrary to it, yet quite beside it? |
A85416 | or in what Congregation doth it intend it? |
A85416 | or those who as yet stand undeclared in either? |
A85416 | or whether doth it measure children, by age, or by understanding? |
A85416 | whether those, that already are profoundly ingaged on the one hand? |
A85416 | which is not Parochiall, or held in a Parish- Church, whether then doth the Ordinance intend any such Renunciation at all? |
A85422 | And how impertinent is it in arguing, to suppose that without proof, which a man knoweth is denyed by his adversary? |
A85422 | And the Lord added unto the Church, who? |
A85422 | But how impertinently to his Cause, and with how little proof, is this affirmed? |
A85422 | But passing by this, how impertinently doth he argue that little which he undertakes, in the words mentioned? |
A85422 | But what is there in this passage, to prove that one Baptism, or one kind of Baptism, is the foundation of a Church, more then another? |
A85422 | By what principle in reason is this consequence formed? |
A85422 | Do they affect to be either more wise or more Holy then God? |
A85422 | Doth he judge this rule binding unto us now? |
A85422 | For are they not these? |
A85422 | For if we may take liberty to cast away one Law of Gospel Order, and Worship, then why not two, and so three, and in the end, all? |
A85422 | For what though it never so sufficiently appears that men and women did beleeve before they were baptized? |
A85422 | How much then is a man better then a sheep? |
A85422 | How uncouth, sapless, and without savor, are such conceits and reasonments as these? |
A85422 | If they practise in one case without Example, why do they not the like in the other? |
A85422 | Is the Scripture express for any thing to precede the enjoyment of it self? |
A85422 | Or can any pretence or plea whatsoever render the children of such high misdemeanors excusable before the Judgment Seat of Christ? |
A85422 | Or do all men sin who Prophesy[ i. e. joyn with him that preahcheth the Word, in the act of hearing] with their heads covered? |
A85422 | Or doth he think that that rule, by which those Christians acted in the case specified, is binding unto us now? |
A85422 | Or is not his meaning in saying so many of us as,& c. clearly this, that as many of us Saints, or of us beleevers, who have been baptized? |
A85422 | Such as were baptized? |
A85422 | Tell us were they baptized, or no? |
A85422 | This sence of the place considered, how frivolous and impertinent is this supercilious Interrogatory, which he builds upon it? |
A85422 | What frivolous and empty reasonings are these? |
A85422 | What is this to justifie thee in going in unto them? |
A85422 | Whereas he demands; What is a not admiting, less, then a refusing to admit, them to such communion? |
A85422 | Whereas he demands; Why doth the Querist make circumcision a Gospel rite, which is indeed a rite abolished by the Gospel? |
A85422 | Will he say that women were circumcised? |
A85422 | Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the Truth? |
A85422 | and consequently such Gospel Order layd totally aside? |
A85422 | if two, why not ten, and so an hundred, or a thousand? |
A85422 | or that all those, who were not circumcised in the Wilderness, were excluded from all acts of Church communion for Forty Years together? |
A85422 | or that any kind of Baptism, more then imposition of hands? |
A85422 | or that they were excluded form acts of Church- communion, because they were uncircumcised? |
A85422 | or without a rule binding unto them? |
A85393 | ( b) Curse you with Bell, Book, and Candle? |
A85393 | ( b) If I did exhort or incourage men to go boldly unto Jesus Christ, doth not the great Apostle the same? |
A85393 | ( c) Dr. Kendal hath charged you home to the life: why do you not answer his challenge? |
A85393 | ( c) Is the not authorizing some men to word it with the Holy Ghost, to charge the Blasphemies and Heresies of the times upon the Holy Ghost? |
A85393 | 16. will you ask him, did you not mean PROVDLY? |
A85393 | 5. Who are in a regular capacity of power, to nominate and appoint such persons, to whom the said power over the Press ought to be committed? |
A85393 | 8. and much more of those other Penmen of the Scriptures, who so frequently call the Idols of the Heathens, by the name of Gods also? |
A85393 | A many- headed Beast thou art; for what, or who, May I with peace and safety, for my Guide allow? |
A85393 | And if the case were thus with you and them, how should their Kingdome,( and consequently your interest therein) stand? |
A85393 | And who knows not but the same words may have different interpretations and senses put upon them? |
A85393 | Are not you men, who abhominate to make use of your own wits, reasons, or judgements in matters of Religion, especially to trust unto them? |
A85393 | Are there no such doings in those parts of your Common- wealth of learning, which you are wo nt to frequent and visit? |
A85393 | Are you Heaven, or any the Inhabitants thereof? |
A85393 | But if your handling me, as you have done in your Epistle, be your sparing me, what would your inclemential and hard intreatings of me have been? |
A85393 | But what saith it? |
A85393 | Do I anywhere ascribe unto God an Autocratorical Majesty over Books and Opinions? |
A85393 | Do you not wonder that men should speak, or understand any thing? |
A85393 | For if many things, or many spirits of Doctrines be not suffered to come to the knowledge of men, how shall they be able to try them? |
A85393 | For if the case were thus with God, should not the world have cause to demand ▪ with those in Malachy, Where is the God of judgement? |
A85393 | For was there ever any man, who lost himself, by seeking God constantly? |
A85393 | How then shall men of your trade, yea or our selves, have that liberty you speak of? |
A85393 | I may have cause indeed to wonder at your boldness in sining, but have you any cause to wonder at that, which is not? |
A85393 | I pray what is the Blasphemy, and what is the Errour of which you have accused me? |
A85393 | If it be the former, how is the civil Magistrate in a capacity of conferring it, or investing any man with it? |
A85393 | If it be the latter, how are men set apart for the ministery of the Word of God, and prayer, capable of the investiture? |
A85393 | If so, Fortis ubi est Ajax? |
A85393 | Is not he one of the six, if not of the three? |
A85393 | It seems you claim a right of power to make Licencers: What need you petition the Parliament? |
A85393 | Mr. Horn? |
A85393 | Or can you prove darknesse to be light, or the night day? |
A85393 | Or do you wonder that men in speech, should sometimes use metaphors? |
A85393 | Or doth it follow from hence, so much as by a dream of a consequence, that therefore the Press ought not to be free, because all things are not free? |
A85393 | Or is your Office of Presse- over- sight an alien to Religion, and irrelative to it? |
A85393 | Or that all men are not either Horses, or Mules? |
A85393 | Or what evil or untruth, is there in this connex proposition; If God reprobated any from Eternity, it must be himself? |
A85393 | The truth is, that to a State Religion it may be aptly said; Belluae multorum es capitum: nam quid sequar, aut quem? |
A85393 | Then the High Priest rent his clothes, saying, he hath spoken blasphemy: What further need have we of witnesses? |
A85393 | To say that Abraham begat Isaack, is it to charge Sarah with being an Adultresse? |
A85393 | What do you mean by The Religion, which the State owneth? |
A85393 | What do you mean, by the Christian Religion? |
A85393 | What if I do say, as you say I do? |
A85393 | When you say that all things are not free, in a free Common- wealth, do you speak to any purpose? |
A85393 | Whether the said power over the Press bee an Ecclesiastick, or civil power? |
A85393 | Yea, or what do you your selves think? |
A85393 | You say we give pernicious counsel to the Parliament, and advise them to authorize some men, Sir- named Orthodox, to word it with the Holy Ghost? |
A85393 | Your thought, that my works need not be called in, is very grave and considerate: should you not do well, humbly to present it to the Parliament? |
A85393 | do none of your Prophets speak Metaphors at any time? |
A85393 | is it not more proper to say, that Abraham begat Isaac, then to say, that God begat him? |
A85393 | or unto Holiness, then to honour those that are most polluted and abominable, as much as those that are holy? |
A85393 | that Peter warmed himself? |
A85393 | where do I talk either of your, or any other mans, impeaching David of Athisme? |
A85393 | where, or what is the necessity of the greatest Preacher under Heaven, in respect of them? |
A85393 | will Jesus Christ make proud or humble, those that come unto him? |
A85407 | To the readersigned: John Goodwin? |
A85407 | ( AND YET THEY CAME IN BY THE SWORD, AND KEPT GODS CHURCH IN BONDAGE,) how much more should our Governours be honored by all people in our Nation? |
A85407 | An accusation even against an elder, may under two or three witnesses, lawfully be received; how much more under twenty? |
A85407 | And Job stopt the mouth of his discontented wife, with this demand; What? |
A85407 | But if there be none really dis- satisfied, what meaneth then the bleating of the sheep, and the lowing of the oxen? |
A85407 | For how then should the world in any part of it become regenerate? |
A85407 | How would the peace of the nation rejoyce over such an agreement, as this? |
A85407 | If the premises will stand, who are more desireable by a people in the places of Rule and Authority, then those, who have been their great Preservers? |
A85407 | Is it not good if peace and truth be in thy days, and mine; who am Thy Friend, heart and Soul in the Truth, JOHN GOODWIN? |
A85407 | Or did not the Lord Christ upon their motion turn himself towards them, and rebuke them in these words; Ye know not what manner of Spirit ye are of b? |
A85407 | Or had He been in any capacity to inrich the inhabitants thereof with his treasures, as they are now inriched by him? |
A85407 | Or in case the Sun should be over- ruled to change place with the Moon, should not the world have cause in abundance to lament the change? |
A85407 | Or is not the Act of Preserving of very neer a ● in to the Act of Begeting? |
A85407 | Or is this, in the dialect, or sence, of the Holy Ghost, to, HONOUR GOVERNOURS? |
A85407 | Should men be offended at their Benefactours? |
A85407 | The former, this: Did the Authors hear those Teachers, which he doth defame? |
A85407 | The latter this: Doth the Author judg that all commands of all Superiors, are always to be obeyed? |
A85407 | Whether are not they rather Back- biters of sin, then Reprovers, who importunely declaim and cry out against the Sins of those that are Absent? |
A85407 | Whether is there any kind of zeal more ecstatical and fierie, then that which is blind, and without knowledg? |
A85407 | Whether is, or ought, the letter of the Law, to be observed in all cases whatsoever? |
A85407 | directing them to some such change of the Government, as that which is now in being? |
A85407 | had it been meet for him to have answered, Nay; but I will serve thee faithfully beneath in the valley? |
A85407 | out unto us according to the just demerit of such our misdemeanors against them? |
A85407 | shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? |
A85407 | the weak complaints of many simple ones, and the lowder vociferations of others great in their own eyes, against the present Government? |
A85407 | who hath be witched me? |
A85407 | who hath bewitched the Answerer, to appear in this kind to weaken the hands of the righteous, and to make their heart sad, whom God hath not sadded? |
A85408 | & c. Yea, are not both women and children to be understood, where men only are named? |
A85408 | 1, 2* even as Subjects are under the names of their Kings, and Families and Descents, under the names of their Heads? |
A85408 | 1, 4? |
A85408 | 3, or 4 ▪& c. would such an act as this be unlawful? |
A85408 | And as for any competent ground otherwise to justifie the practice, hath such a thing ever seen the light of the Sun hitherto? |
A85408 | And besides, is it not altogether irrational to imagine or think, that Faith should be required in order unto Baptism, simply for Faiths sake? |
A85408 | Be no ways constrained, or solicited to communicate in this practice? |
A85408 | If not, is it any ways necessary that we should believe, or ought it to be any Article of our Faith to believe, that they were baptized? |
A85408 | If not, is not the practise of it traditional, and the product of humane discourse, as well, and as much, as the Baptizing of Infants? |
A85408 | If so, how, or wherein doth the excess of the danger, or evil of the consequence appear? |
A85408 | Or are such differences as these, of no authority, interest, or import, to umpire or decide the controversie depending between the two Baptisms? |
A85408 | Or are there not many cases, wherein a man may break a Law,[ i. e. a standing Law, or a Law provided for ordinary cases] and yet be blameless? |
A85408 | Or are there not several grounds, and these near at hand, very material and weighty, to strengthen this conjecture? |
A85408 | Or doth not our Saviour in the Gospel justifie that action of theirs notwithstanding? |
A85408 | Or hath the practice of admitting women to the Lords Table, any such, either precept, or example, to justifie it? |
A85408 | Or is there any precept, which injoyns baptizing, or dipping, in the name of Christ, after a baptizing in infancy into this name? |
A85408 | Or is there either vola or vestigium, little or much of such a practise as this to be found in the Scriptures, where they speak of Baptism? |
A85408 | Or is there not as much difference between hot water, and cold, as is between a child, and a man? |
A85408 | Or that God, or Christ, should enjoyn a requirement of them upon such a slender account as this? |
A85408 | That the Apostle to the former writeth thus: Know ye not, that SO MANY OF US as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
A85408 | Whether did the Lord Christ, pointing to any river, or water, say, Vpon this water will I build my Church? |
A85408 | or is there any such precept, as that mentioned, or example in Scripture, for the warrant of it? |
A85408 | or profession of Faith, meerly for this Professions sake? |
A85408 | that He was the Son of the living God, which Peter had confessed, say, Vpon this Rock will I build my Church a? |
A85408 | that it became him to fulfil all RIGHTEOVSNES a? |
A85408 | that there were no Beleevers unbaptized in the Apostles days,) the contrary being apparant( as may be touched hereafter?) |
A85408 | why are they then baptized for the dead c? |
A85408 | yea and some cases, wherein he may do it with commendation? |
A85414 | & c. How long will this Great Goliah of the Presbyterians thus boast himselfe? |
A85414 | ( I can not think they will refuse it) would they in such a case imprison banish or cause Hereticks to die in this their Principality? |
A85414 | All the principles which concerne coercive Discipline in, about, or for the Church are common both to Papists and Presbyterians? |
A85414 | And Thirdly, Vpon what ● ● ● all and inditement? |
A85414 | And doe you so soone boggle at the same Querie afterwards? |
A85414 | And doe you thus require them? |
A85414 | And why may not the Civil Magistrate as well excommunicate, as banish or otherwise punish any Hereticks? |
A85414 | Are not all such condemned for unproffitable servants who put a candle under a bushel? |
A85414 | Are not both Houses of Parliament, are not millions of the people enough to do justice in such a case? |
A85414 | Are their soules not worth saving? |
A85414 | Are they not damned because they doubt thereof? |
A85414 | Are we thus leap''t out of the Popish frying- pan into the midst of Presbyterian firebrands? |
A85414 | Are you not asham''d thus to uncover the nakednesse of your Churches? |
A85414 | At what time the Church Officers be negligent in their charge, not willing to reforme; and when they oppresse any man with Ecclesiasticall censures? |
A85414 | Because Papists do ill in compelling Protestants to heare an Idolatrons Masse; may not Protestants do well to force Papists to heare Godly sermons? |
A85414 | But do we not by dayly experience in all places and houses find the Independents wrangling with the Presbyterians about Church controversies? |
A85414 | But is it fitting then for everie man to be of what religion he will? |
A85414 | But must all the world bee mad or sottish to beleeve you? |
A85414 | But put the case you did really desire the New- English their conversion? |
A85414 | But what if the Civill Magistrate be without, not of the Church? |
A85414 | But what shall I say unto you, since according to your Theologie, nothing is so likely to prevaile with you as cudgelling? |
A85414 | But you will say, you fast and pray; you mean and hope well; May not a companie of Tinckers and Coblers say the like? |
A85414 | By their cruel persecuting or tormenting Christians? |
A85414 | By what authoritie does the Civil Magistrate punish a Heretick? |
A85414 | Can the Priests in Frame, the Divels in Hell, or Presbyterians anywhere, do worse by Protestants? |
A85414 | Can you not let him have the lesser of Excommunication and other Ceremonious( in comparison of Civil Coercive) Censures? |
A85414 | Can you or any Synod say they are, or will be at any time, at their pleasure infallibly assisted by the Holy Ghost? |
A85414 | Conventicles where so many several doctrins are taught? |
A85414 | Did not Nature engrave it in the hearts of al men, that it is better to obey God than man? |
A85414 | Did not the Apostles for our clearer understanding resolve it when''t was made a question? |
A85414 | Did they not refuse to joyn with the Cavaliers in fighting against the Scots? |
A85414 | Doe not all punishments inflicted for spiritual offences, equally become spiritual? |
A85414 | Does it not remaine then, that wee should consider which of them is accompained with the greatest inconveniences? |
A85414 | For adding to it is ipso facto altering, and it is said thou shalt not adde thereto? |
A85414 | For lapping up their tallent in a napkin? |
A85414 | For not strengthning others after they themselves are converted? |
A85414 | Have not the Independents fought for the Parliament against the Cavaleers? |
A85414 | How can King, Parliament, or Synod wrest it from him? |
A85414 | How know you which is Gods ● ● oure for convincing of a man? |
A85414 | If Jesuited Papists and other subtle Hereticks be suffered, will they not likely seduce many unto their erroneous by- pathes? |
A85414 | If a combination of any people should thus compasse the death of any man, would they not all equally bee found guiltie? |
A85414 | If not; Why doe you take so much upon you? |
A85414 | If there be but one true religion, why should we suffer above one religion in a Country? |
A85414 | If this Disciplin be strictly observed; How can they possibly attaine to better light and knowledge? |
A85414 | Is it not a pious act to compel a companie of carelesse idle people to hear a good sermon, to do a good work whether they will or no? |
A85414 | Is it not an ungodly thing to suffer men to be of any religion? |
A85414 | Is it not equally impossible for a Church- Society as for a Cytie to continue long without a Government? |
A85414 | Is it not secondarily in the people, as well as Civil power which you affirme in the same page? |
A85414 | Is not this to adde to Scripture? |
A85414 | May it not prove the neerest home, according to the proverb? |
A85414 | May not diversity of opinions cause dissentions or breach of love in a Country or Cyttie? |
A85414 | May not the Civil Goverment interpose to punish such Church- members with whom the spiritual, by reason of their refractorines can not prevaile? |
A85414 | May not the permitting men to teach and imbrace new opinions be occasion that we quite loose old truthes? |
A85414 | Must we then suffer men to run headlong in the way to Hell, if they have neither will nor understanding to prevent it of themselve ●? |
A85414 | Must your conscience therefore become a rule, a yoake to other mens? |
A85414 | Nay, to alter it? |
A85414 | Nay, what thinke you? |
A85414 | Nay, will he not plead non- age? |
A85414 | Oh that you would but ba ● e us these impertinencies, these inconsistencies ▪ how many fair sheetes of paper would it have saved from fowling? |
A85414 | Or is it not necessary they should be spiritual to work a Spiritual effect? |
A85414 | Or their Country not worth living in? |
A85414 | Or why may not the Old- English be thought as charitably on, or find the like favour from your over dilligent Presbyerie? |
A85414 | Ought we not then at least to keepe our different opinions and religion unto our selves in obedience to the Civil Magistrate that co ● maunds it? |
A85414 | Secondly, For what cause does the Civil Magistrate punish this Church Offender? |
A85414 | That if as yet wee have but some degrees of truth and knowledge, it shall be impossible for us to attain to greater? |
A85414 | That though we were in possession of the true Religion, wee should bee liable to have it taken from us by everie sharper Civil sword than our owne? |
A85414 | To tell us and them that the Presbyterian world takes up a religion and government upon trust? |
A85414 | To which I answer, that your Ministers and you too, may bee rash in saying so, as you are in other matters: Who can hinder you? |
A85414 | What if hee become Heretical, Schismaticall ● must he ● not bee proceeded against by the utmost of Church censures, to wit, excommunication? |
A85414 | What if it should seeme to you the farthest way about? |
A85414 | What if the Civill Magistrate will not learne Gods will by the Ministers of the Church? |
A85414 | What if you can not find one of them in a fat Benefice? |
A85414 | What is it he punishes him for? |
A85414 | What mean they by one true religion, one way, one faith? |
A85414 | What power hath the King or Parliament to intrude and force upon the Kingdome new religions or a tolleration of all Sects? |
A85414 | Where find you such an authoritive power as is by you insinuated? |
A85414 | Where find you that it would be either for Gods glorie, or the Churches weale it should be so? |
A85414 | Whether can the Gospel bee truly and throughly propagated without such infallible officers? |
A85414 | Whom God therefore had mercie on) shall rise up in judgement against all Protestants which know Gods will and do it not? |
A85414 | Will not this smal pittance of ingenuity reconcile you( how fierce soever) unto the Independents? |
A85414 | Will you not say good cause why, because the Presbyterians would quickly heave them out, and get themselves ● n? |
A85414 | You ask What power hath either King or Parliament to intrude and force upon the Kingdome new religions or a toleration of all Sects? |
A85414 | You say, that what seemeth good to the Holy Ghost, should likewise seeme good to all Ministers; I say so too; but not contrariwise? |
A85414 | ],[ London? |
A85414 | and last of all, Where find you that a certain nomber of Ecclesiasticall men, may be the Representative Church of the whole world? |

A85414 | binds them over remedilesse, give other sentence? |
A85414 | calls the Apologists a Sect? |
A85414 | can you not with Paul be contented that God should judge him? |

A85414 | does improperly and unmannerly) the Scotch Presbyterian disciplin in England, more than the Independency of New- English Churches? |
A85414 | especially whether they will or no? |
A85414 | himselfe, will you put your selfe in an impossibilitie of ever being reformed except tumultuously or illegally, both waies compulsively? |
A85414 | his doctrine bee turned out, or cut off from the Civill State? |
A85414 | is it possible to reconcile the Civil Magistrate unto the spirituall office- bearers in such a case as this? |
A85414 | ought you not to endeavour their conversion equal to your brethrens of Old- England, and that as well unto your Disciplin as to your doctrin? |
A85414 | so dull, so stupid, so voide both of Civil and Christian policie? |
A85414 | thus play at fast and loose? |
A85414 | were not this to hang the Christian libertie of the whole Church Militant upon the arbitrary proceedings of some few perticular congregations only? |
A85414 | yea, and that in all humane probability they are like to be crossed? |
A85414 | yet for a farther setling of it? |
A85414 | you approve of them in suffering no opinions to be published but their owne? |
A64002 | & why not? |
A64002 | & would to the end persevere in wicked workes; So then they could be changed but would not: But in what respect is it said they could be changed? |

A64002 | Againe, their opposites doctrine, was it never received or preached''till those daies? |
A64002 | Among whom doth Antichrist prevaile by all deceivablenesse? |
A64002 | And are God''s judgments executed only by God''s permission, and that by the hands of them that are judged and punished? |
A64002 | And are not his magistrates his Ministers to execute vengeance temporall here in this world? |
A64002 | And are not these then the gifts of God as well as others? |
A64002 | And as for God''s secret providence in evill, how plentifull is the Scripture concerning this? |
A64002 | And as for Gods sparing a man in case God gives not repentance, what will be the issue, but filling up of the measure of their sinnes? |
A64002 | And as for hell fire it selfe, could not he qualifie or increase the tormenting nature thereof as he should thinke good? |
A64002 | And as for impenitency, doth this Author, or any Arminian deny it to be a fruit of that originall corruption wherein all are borne? |
A64002 | And as for the justice of God, must not this suppose him to be a free agent? |
A64002 | And as touching our Tenet herein, is there any such harshnesse in saying, that God causeth a leprous child to be borne of Leprous parents? |
A64002 | And bid him pay that he owes him? |
A64002 | And can any sober man dout whether God be invincible whom the Apostle pronounceth to be irresistable? |

A64002 | And did not Ahab deserve as much at the hands of God? |
A64002 | And did not God professe that he would provoke the Israelites by a foolish people, and by a foolish nation he would anger them? |
A64002 | And doth he not feed up all his hearers with hope of salvation as well as we? |
A64002 | And doth he not know that Austin sometimes sayd that, Iudas electus est ad prodendum sanguinem Domini, Iudas was chosen to betray his Master? |
A64002 | And doth it become Christians to admire such heathenish courses of men nothing acquainted with the divine providence? |
A64002 | And doth not Austin professe that if we knew who were reprobate, we would no more pray for them, then for the Devills? |
A64002 | And doth not Bellarmine professe that malū fieri permitt sin& Deo bonū est, it is good that evill should cō to passe by Gods permission? |
A64002 | And doth not he the like? |
A64002 | And doth not the Scripture expresly testifie as much? |
A64002 | And doth this Authour well in coupling death with deprivation of being, as if every one, or any one that is dead were deprived of being? |
A64002 | And farther consider; Is it safe to measure out Gods proceedings, by the proceedings of men? |
A64002 | And had they means sufficient without, and ability sufficient within to know him? |
A64002 | And hath a man no cause to be thankfull unto God for one gift, unlesse he will adde another? |
A64002 | And he is loath to fall so foule in censuring such as he is? |
A64002 | And hereupon this objection is made, Why then doth God complaine( to wit, of man''s disobedience) for who hath resisted his will? |
A64002 | And how I pray, or in what sence doth he say that God by his providence will not suffer this doctrine to have any stroke in our lives? |
A64002 | And how I pray? |
A64002 | And how can it appeare that they doe acknowledge this? |
A64002 | And how canst thou make it appeare, that any one that ever was or is, hath greater interest therein then thy selfe? |
A64002 | And how did he intend that unto them? |
A64002 | And how doe we more scandalize the Churches Lutheran herein, then they scandalize us? |
A64002 | And how doe wee feed them up with hopes of salvation? |
A64002 | And how doth he worke in us this will? |
A64002 | And how great good did he procure therehence to all believers? |
A64002 | And how to deliver them? |
A64002 | And how was this? |
A64002 | And if God may justly damne all for sinne originall as Mr. Hoord affirmes, why may not God leave all irrecoverably in it; and that justly? |
A64002 | And if I have not as yet the will to repent, how is it possible I should repent? |
A64002 | And if Vossius his reason to salve Faustus his credit, were of force in this, why should it not be in force in the other also? |
A64002 | And if any man be not ashamed to argue as he did( saith Austin) let us not be ashamed to answer as the Apostle did: and how was that? |

A64002 | And if lawes doe nothing, wherefore are they made? |
A64002 | And if the conferring and denying of this grace be absolute; how much more are the decrees hereof to be accounted most absolute? |
A64002 | And if the greatest save two, why not the greatest save one? |
A64002 | And indeed is God''s wisedome and providence so strong, as that he is able to find meanes to glorifie his justice without the permitting of sinne? |
A64002 | And is he not as ready to concurre with him to any sinfull act if he will, and to worke the very will also of doing it in case he will? |
A64002 | And is he well in his wits that talkes of a thousand nothings? |
A64002 | And is it an easy matter for the Devill to perswade such as believe in Christ that they are Reprobates? |
A64002 | And is it fit that every extravagant passage that is found in any Writer of ours should be brought forth to charge our doctrine with? |

A64002 | And is it not lawfull for him to doe what he will with his owne? |
A64002 | And is it possible God''s mercy and the demonstration thereof should have place where there is no sin? |
A64002 | And is it reasonable to subject such a course of Divine providence to the merits of Christ? |
A64002 | And is not the authourity of Austine as good as the authourity of Hierome in this? |
A64002 | And is not this Authour of the same opinion? |
A64002 | And is not this judgement strange? |
A64002 | And is this to work in us the Will according to Gods pleasure, or according to mans good pleasure? |
A64002 | And marke what objection he shapes hereupon, thou wilt say then why doth he yet complaine? |
A64002 | And may they not also resist the Divells temptations if they will? |
A64002 | And must we not waite with our hearers, if so be God may give them repentance? |
A64002 | And observe what Austin speakes in the like case of his mother Monica exercised with the opprobrious speeches of her servant, Quid egisti Deus meus? |
A64002 | And our Saviour speaking of things above our power; Cur estis solliciti? |
A64002 | And refuse to give such grace, as he foresaw would not be resisted, and that without all prejudice to their wills? |

A64002 | And shall it be unbecōing the divine nature to will that which is good? |
A64002 | And shall it not be lawfull for God to will that which is good? |
A64002 | And shall not God have liberty to will that which is good? |
A64002 | And shall the truth of Christianitie be any whit the worse thought of for this? |
A64002 | And that Cyrus also should build him a Citty and let goe his captives: Yet who doubts, but that Cyrus did freely deliver the Jewes out of Babylon? |
A64002 | And that he might declare the riches of his glory upon the vessells of mercy which he hath prepared unto glory? |
A64002 | And that the ten Kings in giving their Kingdomes to the beast did fullfill the will of God, as touching this particular? |
A64002 | And the Apostle addresseth hereunto no other answer but this, O man who art thou who disputest with God? |
A64002 | And the Apostle saith, Who hath resisted his will? |
A64002 | And then what is to make reprobation to be of evill works, if this be not? |
A64002 | And this being apt to work upon a child, though but naturally ingenuous, why may not God use this course? |
A64002 | And was ever any sober man known to oppose this with such froth of words as this Authour doth? |
A64002 | And was it ever known, that those I have named did shrink in their heads or decline the triall thereof? |
A64002 | And was it not Gods will in like manner, that the Gentiles should proceed as farre as they did in the same businesse? |
A64002 | And was the Church of Jewes, a Church of reprobates, Were they not the City of God, but the city of the Devill? |
A64002 | And was their non- approbation of his doctrine, concerning absolute predestination, any motive to Austin vehemently to mistrust the truth thereof? |
A64002 | And were it not a meer madnesse, to make a breach of unity or charity in the Church of God, meerely upon a poynt of Logick? |
A64002 | And what I pray is to constitute? |
A64002 | And what are the reasons hereof in School- divinity? |

A64002 | And what is the motive he meanes, but the motive of sinne? |
A64002 | And what is their motive? |
A64002 | And what is this but, Peccata peccatis cumulare? |
A64002 | And what is this other then to say that our life and being depend on God, in the kind of a cause efficient? |
A64002 | And what madnesse is it to say, that the lesse power God hath of receiving change, the lesse power he hath of working? |
A64002 | And what may that be? |
A64002 | And what meant he to professe, that he sanctified himselfe only for them for whom he prayed? |
A64002 | And what one instance hath he given of any Lutheran, speaking against our making the corrupt Masse the object of predestination or reprobation? |

A64002 | And what to doe doth he suffer them? |
A64002 | And what was the cause of all this, but the hardnesse of their hearts, and the blindnesse of their eyes? |
A64002 | And what were these inconvenient things? |
A64002 | And what willingnesse of abideing the tryall doth this manifest? |
A64002 | And when such judgements have their course, Who are priviledged from being seduced? |
A64002 | And where is it that Bellarmine affirmeth this? |
A64002 | And which is more; what meanes this Authour to carry the matter thus hand over head, as to talke of an impossible condition without all distinction? |
A64002 | And who can separate forgivenesse of sinnes from true repentance? |
A64002 | And who doubts, but that God animating him hereunto, all this was lawfull? |
A64002 | And why are they now become Gods people, which before were no people of God,& c? |
A64002 | And why doth he not keep himselfe unto this? |
A64002 | And why is he not the Authour of all the sinnes of the elect also? |
A64002 | And why is the Devill so called, but because he doth egge and allure men by inward suggestions and outward temptations to fall into sin? |
A64002 | And why may not he also be thus given over to illusions to believe lies? |
A64002 | And why may we not say as well, that God would have Tiberius to fill up the measure of his sinnes? |
A64002 | And why might not Maxentius be ignorant of them both? |
A64002 | And why might we not say so, if God workes it only by concourse? |
A64002 | And why patient towards us? |
A64002 | And why so? |
A64002 | And why so? |
A64002 | And will he not give us leave to propose in proportion hereunto, our maxima gravamina, as touching their opinion in point of election? |
A64002 | And will he not have all& every one to believe& repent? |
A64002 | And wilt not thou allow as much power unto God over thee, or over the matter whereof thou wast made, as the Potter hath power over the clay? |
A64002 | And would any man that is in his right witts, say this is to make salvation destinated to a man before it is destinated to him? |
A64002 | And would this Authour have the will of God to be of a mutable condition, like unto ours? |
A64002 | And would you know of whom he learned this? |
A64002 | And yet was reprobation that alone, whereupon they stirred? |
A64002 | And( let me adde) how can the beliefe of this and true piety stand together? |
A64002 | Apply this to man, first he shewed what his free will could do; wherein? |
A64002 | Are not all Gods ordinances made of his mere pleasure? |
A64002 | Are not all other second causes and second Agents? |
A64002 | Are their sinnes taken away that are damned for them? |
A64002 | Are these also benefits purchased unto us by the merits of Christ? |
A64002 | Are they not called in Scripture the elect Angells? |
A64002 | Are they the Elect only, or chiefly? |
A64002 | Art thou he that troubleth Israel? |
A64002 | Art thou privy Councellour to the Almighty? |
A64002 | As also for the overthrowing of Gods immutability; for can it be denied, that when God damnes them, he will have them to perish? |
A64002 | As for Mathematici which were banished out of Rome, were those Divines, or Astrologers rather? |
A64002 | As for example, What was the end of creation? |
A64002 | As for faith and repentance, we say Christ hath merited them also, but to be bestowed how? |
A64002 | As for that of our Saviour Cur estis solliciti de vestitu? |
A64002 | As for the leaving many of our own very ill satisfied, why should that seem strange? |
A64002 | As for the liberty and power of a man to performe faith and repentance, whether this be granted unto all? |
A64002 | As for the work of his wife, why might not that be the work of God, as well as the work of Satan? |
A64002 | As touching this Author''s conclusion; Dares he himselfe say that by God''s decree Reprobates shall ever repent or be saved? |
A64002 | Be it so, but how doth he prove that God intends this ministery; for the salvation of reprobates; or that he intends it at all for them? |
A64002 | Be ye holy as I am holy: without holinesse no man shall see God: Spectatum admissi risum teneatis amici? |
A64002 | Bucer also hath a passage like to this, Vt caput omnis noxiae tentationis( saith he) repellenda est quaestio, sumusnè praedestinati? |
A64002 | But Cui bono? |
A64002 | But I pray consider, Doth not our doctrine afford the same assurance as well as theirs? |
A64002 | But I pray consider, was not the doctrine of the Gospell infamous at the first, both amongst Jewes and Gentiles? |
A64002 | But I pray thee tell me, is not the will to repent also the gift of God? |
A64002 | But I pray why might not God intend and determine, that that act should come to passe, aswell as the Jewes crucifying of Christ? |
A64002 | But as for faith and repentance, doth God conferre them conditionally also? |
A64002 | But as for them they are the elect of God; And how doth he know that? |
A64002 | But can he deny these things? |
A64002 | But come we nearer to him than so; What one of our Divines denyeth the performance of this condition to be possible to al men? |
A64002 | But did Calvin think it possible, for corrupt nature, to propagate any other nature then it selfe is? |
A64002 | But doe I say they tooke this course to free God from the imputation of sinne? |
A64002 | But doe they say that God determines the will to sinne? |
A64002 | But doth he not worke also the very act of willing? |
A64002 | But doth it herehence follow, or doth Calvin, or any Calvinist, or Lutheran, or Papist, say, that Adams sinne is made ours only by imputation? |
A64002 | But doth this Author himselfe concurre with Zanchy in this opinion? |
A64002 | But for whose sake? |
A64002 | But how came it to passe? |
A64002 | But how didthe Lord deale with these presumptuous adventurers? |
A64002 | But how doe you prove that Gods decree of liberation from sinne, can not take effect, except it presuppose sinne? |
A64002 | But how doth he prove, that God takes any such course with reprobates? |
A64002 | But how freed? |
A64002 | But how small an occasion doth God take to spare man? |
A64002 | But how? |
A64002 | But if he can so provide the greatest save one, why not the greatest of all? |
A64002 | But if it be dishonesty for a man to take liberty to break his promises, I pray what goodnesse is required to the managing thereof? |
A64002 | But if reprobation and election be eternall; how doe we feed reprobates up with the hope of salvation, more then he himselfe? |
A64002 | But if this be his opinion, what Arminian or Remonstrant concurres with him in this? |
A64002 | But in case a man will repent, what need hath he of any Divine assistance to cause in him this will to repent, seeing he hath it already? |
A64002 | But in case our Doctrine holds, doth he damne any but for sinne? |
A64002 | But in the accommodation of these distinctions unto thy selfe, What ground hast thou to affirme, that God willeth not thy salvation in particular? |
A64002 | But is it fit that he should talke of possibility( as he doth at large,) without any reference to the grace of God? |
A64002 | But is it not fit that the soule which is to be comforted upon this ground should be throughly acquainted with this condition? |
A64002 | But is it possible that a man can will that which is evill against his will? |
A64002 | But is this our doctrine, that God commanded the ravishing of any, the murthering of any, or any other sin whatsoever? |
A64002 | But it Tiberius was circa Deos& religiones negligentior, were the Stoicks so too? |
A64002 | But let all this be granted, what then? |
A64002 | But let every sober man judge whether this be a reasonable desire; what Christian justifies Iob in cursing the day of his birth? |
A64002 | But let me aske another question, Did God intend they should believe in him? |
A64002 | But may not a man proceed farther? |
A64002 | But over whom hath the Divell this power? |
A64002 | But shall we take this hand over head without a difference between a Christian& unchristian, and heathenish interpretation? |
A64002 | But some may say, are there not supernaturall powers bestowed on man as well as naturall? |
A64002 | But suppose Iunius had preferred the third way and not the second, Had he done it out of a desire to decline the absurdities here mentioned? |
A64002 | But supposing these determinations of the creatures wills to be necessary, if God will not determine them to good what will follow herence? |
A64002 | But then he will say, what shall become of all those amplifications of Gods mercy towards men, commended to us in holy Scripture? |
A64002 | But this the tempted will deny, he will say that he is no believer,& c. And how will the Minister convince him that he is? |
A64002 | But to ransack this also, and to speake distinctly, What is the good that God hereby intended them? |
A64002 | But to returne, what doth this author think? |
A64002 | But was not this hope of his grounded upon assurance of faith to enjoy it? |
A64002 | But was there any judgment of God to be observed in this? |
A64002 | But were there not other causes of moment, to move him hereunto, which this Author conceales, and which Beza proposeth in the first place? |
A64002 | But what blessings had the Gentiles more than common blessings; doth he particulate any? |
A64002 | But what decree? |
A64002 | But what doth this Author think of faith and repentance? |
A64002 | But what if there be no such text as this Authour builds upon? |
A64002 | But what is counselling to inforcing? |
A64002 | But what is that operation of providence divine or grace which is the cause of Godlinesse? |
A64002 | But what is the grace were of the Sacrament is a signe? |
A64002 | But what is this to the purpose, namely, that comfort can not be instilled into the soules of Reprobates? |
A64002 | But what moves him to say this, doth not God procure hereby the conversion& salvation of millions? |
A64002 | But what of all this? |
A64002 | But what saith Piscator? |
A64002 | But what say you? |
A64002 | But what sober man will justifie such a saying, I had rather have no being at all then be troubled with the stone, or gout? |
A64002 | But what thinke you? |
A64002 | But what? |
A64002 | But when should this come to passe? |
A64002 | But where I pray was it ever read or heard before, that Gods purpose is at any time despised? |
A64002 | But where doe we read that we are guilty of any other of his sins? |
A64002 | But where hath he found in any of our Divines that Reprobates were at all beloved in our father Adam? |
A64002 | But where no such priority is found, why should we admit of any priority at all in the decrees of God? |
A64002 | But wherein I pray doth this consist? |
A64002 | But who saith that infidelity floweth from the decree of reprobation? |
A64002 | But whom? |
A64002 | But why should he presuppose an unregenerate man to be indifferent, to the entertainment of any truth? |
A64002 | But why then is sinne, said to be laesio Divinae majestatis? |
A64002 | But will he have it a part of Gods will, to worke it effectually in all? |
A64002 | But will it follow herehence, that it is not done freely? |
A64002 | But will it herehence follow according to Arminius, that such a sinne is not committed freely? |
A64002 | But will it herehence follow that Austin did deny absolute predestination? |
A64002 | But ô man who art thou who disputest with God? |
A64002 | But, What, a mischiefe, doth this great Doctor mean to tell us? |
A64002 | Can God justiy bind men to believe a lye? |
A64002 | Can God speake thus to reprobates, who by his own decree, shall never repent, nor be saved, without the deepest dissimulation? |
A64002 | Can a Blackamore change his skinne? |
A64002 | Can a Woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the Sonne of her wombe? |
A64002 | Can a gift temporall be the bestowing of a thing eternall? |
A64002 | Can any man repent without a will to repent? |
A64002 | Can he be ignorant, who they be whom the Scripture stiles vessells of mercy? |
A64002 | Can not God pardon it if it please him, yea and cure it too? |
A64002 | Can not God take the life of any man from him, be he never so innocent, and that what way he will, even by punishment, if it please him? |
A64002 | Can not he therefore dispose of them as he pleaseth and doe with his own what he will? |
A64002 | Can the same act be the condition of it selfe, and so both before and after it selfe? |
A64002 | Can this Doctrine be a truth, and yet blush at the light, which makes all thing manifest? |
A64002 | Can this doctrine be a truth, and yet blush at the light which makes all things manifest, especially considering these things? |
A64002 | Can we be at once both friends of the Bridegroom and enimies of his grace? |
A64002 | Consider is it decent to conforme the courses of God with the courses of men? |
A64002 | Could he expect any better recompence hereof, then to be cast out of their Synagogues? |
A64002 | Could not God have derived a child from Adam in the state of his innocency, if he had so thought good? |
A64002 | Could not God have kept the Devill off? |
A64002 | Cur non intercessit& circumscriptorem colubrum cohibuit? |
A64002 | Dares he himselfe in plain termes deny this, namely that it nothing prejudiceth the course of Gods mercy towards his Elect? |
A64002 | Dares he say, that faith and repentance are possible by power of nature? |
A64002 | Dares this author betray such ignorance, as hand over head to professe, that this doctrine is odious unto Papists? |
A64002 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
A64002 | Did Abraham enquire in his thoughts, whether it were his purpose yea or no, that Isaack should be sacrificed? |
A64002 | Did Austin misleade them? |
A64002 | Did Christ merit any thing for the Angells? |
A64002 | Did God decree it to be possible? |
A64002 | Did Hierome deny faith to be the gift of God? |
A64002 | Did he not harden him to this purpose that so he might make himselfe knowne in the land of Egypt by his judgemēts? |
A64002 | Did not God decree to make the world, nay did he not absolutely decree this and antecedently, not conditionally and consequently? |
A64002 | Did not Paul feare the failing af his own credit and reputation? |
A64002 | Did not the Devill provoke Eve and Adam to sin against God in Paradise? |
A64002 | Did not the Gospell find the Ephesians so? |
A64002 | Did not the Word of truth find the Jewes so? |
A64002 | Did not those gods delude Tantalus? |
A64002 | Did their contentions hereupon, either totally cease or in part? |
A64002 | Did they ever provide such a sacrifice to make satisfaction for their Childrens sinnes, as God did provide for his? |
A64002 | Did they not rejoyce in tribulation? |
A64002 | Did this infamy prevaile with Paul, or any other holy servant of God, to remit any thing, in the maintenance of his Christian faith? |
A64002 | Divine, that he might consider whether it be rightly alleadged or no; and if rightly, with what sobriety they deliver it? |
A64002 | Do we not all teach rather, that God forbids it, and that under penalty of everlasting death? |
A64002 | Doe not the Scriptures plainly professe that God did send them? |
A64002 | Doe not they represent the absurd pretences of some, as well as the reasonable discourses of others? |
A64002 | Doe not they themselves professe that reprobation is upon finall perseverance in infidelity or impenitency? |
A64002 | Doe they not all professe, that as many as dye in actuall sinnes unrepented of, God determined to damne them for those actuall sinnes unrepented of? |
A64002 | Doe we feed our hearers with any other hopes of salvation, then are builded upon faith and repentance, and finall perseverance therein? |
A64002 | Doe we find that thereupon the bridle is let loose unto ryot? |
A64002 | Doe we maintaine that God brings any man to Salvation( if he come to the use of reason) but by faith repentance and good- workes? |
A64002 | Doe we maintaine that God damnes or decreeth to damne any man but for finall perseverance in sinne? |
A64002 | Doe we not live in God, have we not our being in God? |
A64002 | Doe we not professe that he damnes no man but for sinne? |
A64002 | Doe you not manifestly perceive the crudity of this conceit? |
A64002 | Doe you not perceive how he makes choyce only of reprobation to grate upon? |
A64002 | Doe you not see that it concernes me, and that it is as it were, particularly verified in my person? |
A64002 | Doth God bestow immortality upon the soule by way of reward? |
A64002 | Doth God purpose to bestow faith and repentance upon any other besides his elect? |
A64002 | Doth he call any other but such as are spirituall? |
A64002 | Doth he not believe that whosoever dyeth in sinne without repentance shall be damned? |
A64002 | Doth he not call them Gentem teterrimam, Cenus hominum invisum Diis? |
A64002 | Doth he not indeed acknowledge faith& repentance to be the gifts of God; and if he doth give them, did he not from everlasting will to give them? |
A64002 | Doth he not professe saying vengeance is mine, and I will repay? |
A64002 | Doth he think none but the elect are his heares? |
A64002 | Doth his mercy please him, when he hath made such a decree, as shewes farre more severity towards men then mercy? |
A64002 | Doth it not manifestly appear hereby, that it is Gods will, that sinne shall come to passe by his permission? |
A64002 | Doth it not manifestly appeare, that it was Gods will to have them tempted, to have them provoked unto sin? |
A64002 | Doth man or any creature, shew more love to their Children, then God doth towards his Elect? |
A64002 | Doth mercy please him, when he of his own will only hath made such a decree, as shewes farre more severity towards poore men, then mercy? |
A64002 | Doth not God afford this to the most sinfull act that is, without all prayers? |
A64002 | Doth not Paul professe that, He became all things to all that he may save some? |
A64002 | Doth not Saint Peter professe of some that stūbled at the word being disobedient, that hereunto they were ordained? |
A64002 | Doth not he himselfe maintain that all reprobates are from everlasting appoynted to eternall death? |
A64002 | Doth not he professe, that, the breath of the Lord as a river of brimstone doth kindle that fire? |
A64002 | Doth not the Lord in the same place, and in the same manner professe, that he delights in the execution of judgement, as well as of mercy? |
A64002 | Doth this Authour himselfe thinke it possible that the Creature can move it selfe, or performe any operation without God''s concourse? |
A64002 | Doth this doctrine also savour of the Predestinarian heresy? |
A64002 | Egressus ex utero non saltem perii? |
A64002 | Either by way of grace prevenient, or by way of grace subsequent? |
A64002 | Electionis autem quae tibi revelatio? |
A64002 | Fiftly, dost thou blaspheame God, because of Leprous Parents, thou art begot and conceived, and borne a leprous child? |
A64002 | First because it is an argument and ground by which Christ declareth the truth and greatnesse of the misery of Judas, Woe to the man& c And why woe? |
A64002 | First therefore consider, is it fit to resist the evidence of divine truth, because it is harsh to mens affections? |
A64002 | First, I pray consider, what is that light that makes all things manifest? |
A64002 | First, why should you call it an event? |
A64002 | For Manoah said unto his Wife, we shall surely dye because we have seen God;& could a probability to the contrary put by such a temptation as this? |
A64002 | For Maxentius we doe not find to have excepted against his fidelity, more in the one then in the other? |
A64002 | For as God hath professed that whosoever believeth shall be saved, so; Hath not God resolved that whosoever believeth shall be saved? |
A64002 | For consider, is there but one such that never yet was, nor evershall be; or are there many such? |
A64002 | For dare any Arminian deny faith to be the gift of God? |
A64002 | For dare you deny faith and repentance to be a gift of God? |
A64002 | For did not Christ suffer them by the ordinance of his Father? |
A64002 | For did not Satan sin in all this? |
A64002 | For do not the latter Divines maintaine it to be peremptory, as well as the former? |
A64002 | For doe not these comforters themselves acknowledge, that God hath from everlasting decreed the damnation of the greatest part of men? |
A64002 | For doe not they maintaine, that God by power absolute, can pardon sinne without all satisfaction? |
A64002 | For doth not Arminius confesse that God can annihilate the holiest creature that is? |
A64002 | For example, a Minister comes to comfort a man, that thinkes himselfe to be an absolute Reprobate; and how doth he set about it? |
A64002 | For first, was it God indeed that executed this judgement upon Adonibezek? |
A64002 | For had he determined this, who could have resisted him? |
A64002 | For he can hinder it; what followeth then? |
A64002 | For he hath confessed, that God of his meer pleasure, makes all Infants guilty of eternall death; now where appears the greater rigour? |
A64002 | For he is a debtor to none but to himselfe; and how to himselfe? |
A64002 | For how could his justice be wronged in this? |
A64002 | For how doth it appeare that Faustus is the author of any such pretence? |
A64002 | For if it be the gift of God, is not somewhat else required to the working of faith in us over and above all these enforcements? |
A64002 | For if they used these words Necessity,& compulsion; promiscuously; doth it not evidently follow that they distinguished them not? |
A64002 | For is he not the first cause and the first Agent? |
A64002 | For is it not manifest he did? |
A64002 | For is it not of God''s mere mercy that he promiseth, Not to famish the soule of the rightous? |
A64002 | For is not reprobation as touching the act of God reprobating, the very act also of Gods will? |
A64002 | For is that all waies the faith or opinion of the Tragedian, whatsoever he puts into the mouthes of this or that Actor? |
A64002 | For of what justice doe we treat in this argument? |
A64002 | For the Pope never bindes his hands by any Grant he makes; and why should God bind his hands by any decree he makes? |
A64002 | For to what purpose was the Son of God made man, and being man made a sacrifice for sinne? |
A64002 | For try if you please, and you shall find that none of them can possibly serve the turne; What then is this priority of nature so called? |
A64002 | For was it not the will of God that Pharaoh should not let Israel goe for a while? |
A64002 | For were he able to produce any one of our Divines that affirmeth this, why doth he not? |
A64002 | For what Arminian hath dared in plain tearmes to professe, that Gods decrees are of a revocable nature? |
A64002 | For what Authour hath he produced to justifie this that any of our Divines maintaines that God necessitates the will of man to sin? |
A64002 | For what is the ground of the former, but this, that God had absolutely decreed to give faith unto some? |
A64002 | For what need is there of influence divine to make us to will if of our selves we will already? |
A64002 | For what thinks he? |
A64002 | For what? |
A64002 | For what? |
A64002 | For what? |
A64002 | For when he acknowledgeth that no sin can be committed by man without God''s concourse; will he say that God by his concourse helps a man to sinne? |
A64002 | For when the Lord said unto him, doest thou well to be angry for the Gourd? |
A64002 | For when were they innocent in his meaning? |
A64002 | For where hath he given us any reason to prove that any decrees of God are of any resistable condition? |
A64002 | For who doubts but that the will to believe, is to believe? |
A64002 | For who hath resisted his will? |
A64002 | For who hath resisted his will? |
A64002 | For who hath resisted his will? |
A64002 | For who so bold as blind Bayard? |
A64002 | For who would not keep his shinns whole the best he can? |
A64002 | For why should we causlesly expose the truth of God to be the worse thought of, and provoke men to stumble at it by unnecessary harshnesse? |
A64002 | From the necessity of sinning? |
A64002 | Further consider; Doth not God in this manner concurre to the most sinfull act that is commited in the world? |
A64002 | God represents as it were a conflict within him, between his mercy and justice; and his mercy hath the glory of the day; But wherein? |
A64002 | Gods intentions are his decrees, now if God did decree they should bring forth fruit de facto, who hath resisted his will? |
A64002 | Gods severity towards the Jewes, did it any whit qualify Gods bountifulnesse towards the Gentiles? |
A64002 | HEre in this Section the question is, Whether our Doctrine of absolute Reprobation, bereaves a Minister of the solid grounds of comfort? |
A64002 | Had he suffered thē to this very day, what helhound wil dare to say it had been better for him to be turned into nothing? |
A64002 | Hath not Erasmus delivered it, as out of the mouth of Hierome, that Secta Stoicorum was Secta simillima Christianae? |
A64002 | Hath not God power to bind Satan for a thousand years and more if it please him? |
A64002 | Hath not our Saviour expresly told us, that even of them that are called, but few are chosen? |
A64002 | Hath not the Potter power of the clay of the same lump to make one vessell unto honour, another unto dishonour? |
A64002 | Hath not the Potter power over the clay of the same lump, to make one vessell unto honour, another unto dishonour? |
A64002 | Hath not the Potter power over the clay of the same lumpe to make one vessell to honour and another to dishonour? |
A64002 | Hath not the Potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessell unto honour and another unto dishonour? |
A64002 | Hath not the Potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessell unto honour, and another unto dishonour? |
A64002 | Hath not the Potter power over the clay? |
A64002 | Hath not the potter power over the clay of the same lumpe, to make one vessell unto honour and another unto dishonour? |
A64002 | Have I been a wildernesse unto Israell, or a land of darknesse? |
A64002 | Have they not in this case more cause to thank themselves than to thank God? |
A64002 | Have we better or more compleate testimony for ought throughout the whole booke of God, then for this? |
A64002 | He dyed we confesse to procure Salvation for all that believe; but did he dye to procure faith for all? |
A64002 | He gives life to the World; Is life given to any but to the Elect? |
A64002 | He is content to prove himselfe just by plain arguments, through the whole chapter; Are not my waies equall, and your waies unequall? |
A64002 | He proposeth the question, whether the act of sin be from God? |
A64002 | He punisheth the disobedient with eternall death; true: but acording unto what Covenant? |
A64002 | He saith it is more naturall and deare to God then his justice: what reason is there for this, if the one be equally as excellent as the other? |
A64002 | He shall convict the World of sinne, because they believed not in me, doth evince as much, or import as much as that is, whereunto Zanchy drives it? |
A64002 | He would rather shew himselfe to be as he is, God, and and not Man; And wherein? |
A64002 | Here are provocations enough, and can it be denied, but that God would have Iob''s uprightnesse thus to be tried? |
A64002 | Here is the objection against it, Austins doctrine of predestination, and reprobation at full; his answer to it followeth at full; but how? |
A64002 | Here we have a phrase, but we are to seeke of the meaning thereof; what is it to dash against Christ? |
A64002 | Here we have a rule given to try whether a Doctrine proposed, be to be taken for a Doctrine of Scripture yea or no? |
A64002 | Here we have words, but can any wise man draw it to any sober sense? |
A64002 | His hatred of Esau, doth it any way hinder his love to Jacob? |
A64002 | How Imperiously doth he carry himselfe in this; as if he were some Bugbeare, or dreadfull Adversary doe I say? |
A64002 | How can yee believe that receive Honour one of another, and seek not the Honour that comes of God only? |
A64002 | How comes it to passe, that from the condition of a thing meerly possible, it hath passed into the condition of a thing future? |
A64002 | How coms he to have such liberty? |
A64002 | How could it be that none of them should know him? |
A64002 | How dare ye say, we are wise, and the love of the Lord is with us? |
A64002 | How did God bid this man curse David? |
A64002 | How did Shimei provoke David by railing upon him; And how did David interpret it, The Lord, saith he, hath bid him to curse David? |
A64002 | How doth God meane that the greatest part of men shall never believe and repent, by our opinion? |
A64002 | How doth he satisfie his friend, or performe the promise made in letting election passe untouched, and dealing only upon reprobation? |
A64002 | How is it that he prevailes over so few in comparison? |
A64002 | How many mistake and misunderstand God''s word; what then? |
A64002 | How much lesse hold them upon the rack of continuall tortures; what then? |
A64002 | How much rather may we say it were better to be an Atheist and deny God, then to believe or report him to be a devourer of the Soules of men? |
A64002 | How said the Lord to this man that he should curse David; Who is wise and he shall understand? |
A64002 | How shall I give thee up Ephraim, how shall I deliver thee O Israell? |
A64002 | How shall we which are dead to sinne, live any longer therein? |

A64002 | How then comes this difference that Christ is a stumbling blocke to some and not to others? |
A64002 | How unnaturall then was Christ, who would not pray for the World if they were all his children? |
A64002 | How was innocent Naboth used, and by publique sentence condemned to be stoned to death, and accordingly executed by the practise of wicked Iezabel? |
A64002 | I Willingly grant the word[ all] in each place is of equall extent, but how? |
A64002 | I am confident he dares not professe so much; for albeit he licks his lips at a conditionall decree, yet how doth he conceive this to be mutable? |
A64002 | I am of their mind that doe so; and was not D r Whitaker also, whom very wisely this Author conceales? |
A64002 | I answer: Though it be so, yet who will say, the glory of vertue is greater then the glory of power? |
A64002 | I further demand, what that good worke is, whereupon God workes it in one, when he refuseth to worke it in another? |
A64002 | I grant it shall first exist; but how? |
A64002 | I meane, whether he resolved at first, to declare his mercy upon such and such persons as Peter, Judas,& c. or indefinitely upon some onely? |
A64002 | If God decrees to bestow faith upon a man, doth it not, necessarily follow hereupon that such a one shall believe? |
A64002 | If Scripture be mis- alleadged and mis- understood by him, why do not you confute him? |
A64002 | If from a leprous Sire there springs a leprous fruit, shoud this seeme strange? |
A64002 | If he did intend this,( and how can a man be of God, but by Gods making, and how is this possible to be done, without God his intending of it?) |
A64002 | If he doth not concurre with Zanchy in either of these, why should he tye us to the particular authority of Zanchy? |
A64002 | If heat be good, is cold bad? |
A64002 | If it be of no weight to perswade them, why should it be of any moment to prevaile with us? |
A64002 | If it be produced by man, what need is there of God''s producing it by way of supplement? |
A64002 | If it be, I pray, let him signify on whose side, whether on the part of Jacobus Andreas, or on the part of Beza? |
A64002 | If many such, how come they to differ, who have nothing wherein to differ? |
A64002 | If none are left but all are saved, is it not a pretty guilt of eternall death, for which not any suffers? |
A64002 | If not; what truth is in this authour''s word, when he said, God hath decreed to suffer sin? |
A64002 | If rules of religion doe nothing, why are they prescribed? |
A64002 | If the wills of men doe nothing, why are men encouraged to one thing, scared from another? |
A64002 | If they be so, then I demand, Whether Christ purchased these to be obtained by all and every one, absolutely or conditionally? |
A64002 | If they conceived their opposites doctrine to be unsound, could they not oppose it without uproares, without violent proceedings? |
A64002 | If they did mistake Austin, shall it be true therefore to say they were misled by him? |
A64002 | If they were of any other opinion, should it become us to follow them in this? |
A64002 | If this be his opiniō can he plead the cōmon consent of the world, or the cōmō sense of mā for this? |
A64002 | If this be in his meaning, can he name any divine of ours that affirmes this? |
A64002 | If thou be righteous what givest thou him, or what receiveth he at thy hands? |
A64002 | If thou doe well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A64002 | If thou doest not hunger and thirst after this, why shouldest thou be cast downe, because thou hast not this assurance? |
A64002 | If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him; yea when thy sins are many, what doest thou unto him? |
A64002 | If we had merited salvation for our selves would God in justice have denied it unto us? |
A64002 | If you that are evill, can give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to them that aske him? |
A64002 | In few words, what is meant by provocation unto any sin? |
A64002 | In his threats and commination also( by this doctrine) is God made to be hollow and unsincere, for, Against what sinnes are they denounced? |
A64002 | In like sort as touching the grace of pardon of sinne, this also God offers unto all that heare the Gospell, but how? |
A64002 | In like sort if question be made why devills or wicked men are damned, is it our doctrine to referre the cause hereof to the mere pleasure of God? |
A64002 | In making the world, I doe not doubt, but God did that which was just; but was there any justice in God obliging him to the making of the world? |
A64002 | In the case of annihilation? |
A64002 | In the last place, will you give me leave freely to professe, what we profic by thus tempering our opinion touching the object of predestination? |
A64002 | In the next place he tels us; It is contrary to God''s nature but what? |
A64002 | In whom was naturall reason more eminent, then in Philosophers? |
A64002 | Is Beza those Authors? |
A64002 | Is God any thing the worse for any man''s disobedience, and transgression of God''s law? |
A64002 | Is flesh and bloud, I pray, apt to rest satisfied with this? |
A64002 | Is he not called the God to whom vengeance belongeth? |
A64002 | Is he not compared to an axe and a sawe, shall the axe boast it selfe against him that heweth therewith? |
A64002 | Is he not content to lye close as touching foure of them? |
A64002 | Is he not rather at odds with himselfe in making a man''s fortitude to be a selfe destroyer? |
A64002 | Is it a power to doe good if a man will? |
A64002 | Is it any other then to be a tormenter of of them in hell fire? |
A64002 | Is it any other then to ordaine? |
A64002 | Is it because Maldonat the Jesuite hath been since found by him to embrace the same interpretation? |
A64002 | Is it decent that God the Father, should deale with Christ his Sonne, not according to the exigence of his merits? |
A64002 | Is it due by any other right then by the ordinance of God? |
A64002 | Is it his meaning that any man''s damnation is avoidable by grace? |
A64002 | Is it in this sence, that they shall not believe and repent if they will? |
A64002 | Is it in this, that nothing is the cause of Gods decree? |
A64002 | Is it not apparent that this was the doctrine of Austin 1200 years agoe, and that in opposition to the Pelagians and Semi- Pelagians? |
A64002 | Is it not apparent, that about the five Articles commonly so called, they conferred alike? |
A64002 | Is it not enough to bind us to obedience, for God to command this or that unto us? |
A64002 | Is it not the Gospell, to wit, The Preaching of Christ crucified? |
A64002 | Is it of justice remunerative, or justice vindicative? |
A64002 | Is it only such a grace, as gives only power to believe? |
A64002 | Is it possible that a man in his right witts should so miserably forget, and so shamefully carry himselfe? |
A64002 | Is it possible that he who partakes of Gods sanctifying grace should stand out in hostile opposition against it? |
A64002 | Is it possible to be lesse, seeing man is but finite, and God infiinte? |
A64002 | Is it so indeed, Better to derive the necessity of unhappy events, from an evill God, or from course of nature, then from the decree of God? |
A64002 | Is it strange that God should be a prime cause, and principall in execution of vengeance? |
A64002 | Is it the light of Conference? |
A64002 | Is it to doe that whereupon man may take just cause or occasion to doe that which he doth without blame? |
A64002 | Is it to the act only and not to the manner of its production? |
A64002 | Is it upon condition, that we will? |
A64002 | Is not Assur in this respect called, the Rod of God''s wrath and the staffe in his hand? |
A64002 | Is not God then to be accounted the author of evill in the way of punishment? |
A64002 | Is not he both the Author and finisher of our faith? |
A64002 | Is not man a free creature to performe naturall acts as well as morall; and morall good as well as evill? |
A64002 | Is not repentance also the gift of God? |
A64002 | Is not repentance chiefly the charge of the will? |
A64002 | Is not the distance infinite? |
A64002 | Is not this latter farre greater cruelty then the former? |
A64002 | Is such the salvation of Gods elect? |
A64002 | Is the sinne permitted the event? |
A64002 | Is there any evill in the Citty, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A64002 | Is there any injustice with God? |
A64002 | Is there no difference between these? |
A64002 | Is this a Christian course? |
A64002 | Is this doctrine of theirs fit to humble them, and not rather to puffe them up with a conceit of their own sufficiency? |
A64002 | It is absolutely decreed that Devills shall be damned; were it not a fruitlesse thing in them by prayers teares and endeavours to seeke to alter it? |
A64002 | It is the blessing of God that makes men fat, and if God hath determined this, and man knows it, will he therefore sit still and starve himselfe? |
A64002 | It is true Reprobates must beare their burthen of discomfort that know themselves to be Reprobates; but who are they? |
A64002 | It is true we thus read, Have we not all one father? |
A64002 | It''s true indeed, the Pelagians did object the Stoicall Fate unto Austin, as if his doctrine favoured of it; and what doth he answer thereunto? |
A64002 | Knowest thou not( say they) that the Philistins are rulers over us? |
A64002 | Lastly say farther, what is the grace required to the very act of willing; Doth God work this also by grace subsequent? |
A64002 | Lastly, doe we say that God damnes any man out of his only will and pleasure? |
A64002 | Lastly, doth not God give a man a power to refuse to believe, to refuse to repent if he will? |
A64002 | Lastly, how often was Arminius himselfe questioned and called upon to give satisfaction for his Heterodoxies, and how often did he decline it? |
A64002 | Lastly, if Christ hath died for all, then hath he merited Salvation for all; and shall any faile of that salvation which Christ hath merited for them? |
A64002 | Lastly, if thou renouncest the Gospell, what reason hast thou to complaine of want of power to embrace it, so farre as not to renounce it? |
A64002 | Let me take liberty to set down what I should think fit to answer unto such a complaint, Now my Answer is this, Who hath revealed this unto thee? |
A64002 | Looke we( saith he) upon the decrees of men, the wisest of men, were they ever known to decree that a thing may be done? |
A64002 | Lord incline mine heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousnesse; If it were not in God''s power to incline the hearts of men to covetousnesse? |
A64002 | M. Horde? |
A64002 | Marke it well, of any truths: and who are these? |
A64002 | May a man be proud of humility, for that is one of the excellent vertues here specified; why not, of the naturall humility which is in them? |
A64002 | May we not in like māner pray Lord give us grace to bear what thou layest upon us,& then lay upon us what thou wilt? |
A64002 | Might he not as well take liberty to discourse of the Aequinoctiall pasticrust? |
A64002 | Might he not seem to justify them, in walking after the hardnesse of their hearts by this, and harden them therein by this Doctrine of his? |
A64002 | Must we be bound to stand to every interpretation of our Divines, or every particular opinion of theirs, wherein perhaps they were singular? |
A64002 | Must we for every doctrine of ours, examine whether the most part of Christian Churches doe embrace it yea or no? |
A64002 | My God what diddest thou? |
A64002 | Namely, to produce it voluntarily and freely? |
A64002 | Nay are not the Children of God made free by Christ to the performance of actions spirituall? |
A64002 | Nay doth any Arminian at this day believe this, or can he name any Arminian that doth avouch this? |
A64002 | Nay doth he not extend it farther then we doe, even to the Elect, as well as Reprobates? |
A64002 | Nay doth he truly relate what the Servant said? |
A64002 | Nay doth himselfe believe this? |
A64002 | Nay is it possible that any act should exist without God''s operation? |
A64002 | Nay is it possible that man should will ought, or doe ought, and God not concurre with him, to the producing both of the will and the deed? |
A64002 | Nay since the fall of Adam, who ever lived free from sinne, the Son of God only excepted? |
A64002 | Nay was ever any child of God recovered out of it while he lived upon the face of the earth? |
A64002 | Nay, Is there not a secret kind of hypocrisie, as when a man thinks his heart is upright towards God, when indeed it is not? |
A64002 | Nay, what doe we talk of desert in this? |
A64002 | Nay, what doth the Lord long before professe what should be his providence towards the Jewes? |
A64002 | Nor will any sober man judge that such an impotency as this doth make a man excusable? |
A64002 | Not absolutely on any, that is, not according to the meere pleasure of his will; how then? |
A64002 | Not any thing comes to passe, unles God Almighty will have it come to passe; but how? |
A64002 | Not only carnall men cry out sometimes, Where is the God of judgement? |
A64002 | Not possessed with the entertainment of any Truths, but indifferent to the entertainment of them, I say who are these? |
A64002 | Now I demand, what was the cause of this transmigration? |
A64002 | Now I pray consider what is, or can be the condition hereof, but the act of willing? |
A64002 | Now I pray consider, is it not as harsh, that God should decree the death, the agonics, the sorrowes, and tortures of an innocent man? |
A64002 | Now I pray what is the meaning of this, God doth not decree to damne any man but for finall perseverance in sinne? |
A64002 | Now I pray you, is not God the Author of every evill act after this manner, as well as of any good, by their own confession? |
A64002 | Now I pray, what is become of the harshnes of this our Tenent as is pretended? |
A64002 | Now consider where was this cause to be found? |
A64002 | Now consider, doth God concurre modo nos velimus, which is Suarius his devise? |
A64002 | Now consider, is a man at one with himselfe when he destroyes himselfe? |
A64002 | Now dares this Author avouch, that every man of every condition doth believe? |
A64002 | Now doth Mercer oppose this? |
A64002 | Now doth any of our Divines maintaine that God appoints any man to the suffering of hell torments of his mere pleasure, and not for sinne? |
A64002 | Now doth it not herehence follow, that God absolutely decreed to deny faith unto others? |
A64002 | Now doth not this man believe that God deals so with millions of soules? |
A64002 | Now doth this doctrine assure any man that he is no Reprobate, nor of the number of those whom God hath rejected from salvation? |
A64002 | Now hath not he himselfe professed, that all borne in originall sinne, are borne guilty of eternall death? |
A64002 | Now how canst thou make it appeare that this belongs lesse unto thee then to any Martyr that ever was content to lay downe his life for Christ? |
A64002 | Now in this case, how doth the Apostle stop the mouthes of such, but thus; O man, who art thou that disputest with God? |
A64002 | Now is it a sober course hence to inferre, that the act is not free? |
A64002 | Now is the truth manifested hereby in all those particulars? |
A64002 | Now is there any carriage of God taught by us like unto this? |
A64002 | Now judge I pray which of us makes God the Father of cruelties, he or wee? |
A64002 | Now let us consider, Who made those uproares, were they the Contra- Remonstrants, or the Remonstrants only? |
A64002 | Now seeing God brings them no farther, as he doth his elect; with what sobriety can it be said, that God intends their salvation? |
A64002 | Now the foresight hereof is made to precede Gods casting men off for ever: but from what? |
A64002 | Now was it not God that lead him into this temptation, into this provocation? |
A64002 | Now was not this a great sinne? |
A64002 | Now what Legerdeimaine is this? |
A64002 | Now what cause doe these men devise of the futurition of sinne? |
A64002 | Now what is become of this Authours pompous discourse? |
A64002 | Now what is the nature of this corruption, is it invincible unbeliefe or no? |
A64002 | Now what one Divine of ours maintaines that any of Gods children are destinated to eternall fires? |
A64002 | Now what one divine of ours can he shew to have maintain''d this? |
A64002 | Now what one of our Divines can be produce to justifie this? |
A64002 | Now what revelation hast thou of thine election? |
A64002 | Now when God exerciseth his judgments, shall not those things justly be said to come to passe by his will, which are punishments of foregoing sinnes? |
A64002 | Now where, and when, and how hath God revealed this his counsell unto thee, namely, concerning thy rejection from Grace,& Glory? |
A64002 | Now wherein doth this conversion consist? |
A64002 | Now whether tendeth this, but to the ovethrow of religion? |
A64002 | Now who dares say that all are Elect? |
A64002 | Now why are not the School- men censured, as men speaking unreasonably and against common sense? |
A64002 | Now will it herehence follow that therefore they have power to believe? |
A64002 | Now will it not as well follow, what need I therefore take thought of holinesse, of obedience? |
A64002 | Now, dare any of them deny faith and repentance to be the gift of God? |
A64002 | O Ierusalem wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maist be saved, how long shall thy wicked thoughts remaine within thee? |
A64002 | O Jerusalem Jervsalem, how oft would I have gathered thee, as a Hen gathereth her chicken under her wings? |
A64002 | O Man, who art thou that repliest against God, shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, why hast thou made mee thus? |
A64002 | O man who art thou that disputest with God? |
A64002 | O man who art thou, which disputest with God? |
A64002 | O man( saith Paul) who art thou that disputest with God, shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? |
A64002 | Of his own will he hath begotten us by the word of truth; what I pray is here meant by the word of truth? |
A64002 | Of his will as it signifies his commandement? |
A64002 | One is provoked by prosperity to corrupt his waies, another by adversity is provoked to break forth into impatience and blasphemy? |
A64002 | Or Is it exciting grace, that is not given absolutely? |
A64002 | Or cause stately and proud Jezabells body to be eaten of doggs? |
A64002 | Or conditionally, modo vellimus, provided that we will it, God the first agent subordinate to the will of the creature? |
A64002 | Or dates he say that by our doctrin these insorcements are nothing hearty& serious to them? |
A64002 | Or doth any of us deny it to be possible by grace? |
A64002 | Or doth he hinder it by exciting us to the contrary? |
A64002 | Or doth he meane they were innocent when God entertaind this resolution? |
A64002 | Or doth he thinke himselfe recovered out of it, or is it in his power to avoid it? |
A64002 | Or doth his love passe knowledge, when we see daily greater love then this in men and other creatures? |
A64002 | Or doth it lesse become him to be the author of affliction then of prosperity? |
A64002 | Or hath not man power to slaughter any but for meat? |
A64002 | Or hath this man or any of his spirit deserved any credit to be trusted this way? |
A64002 | Or if it were so, must not the scandall in this case, be equall on both sides? |
A64002 | Or if white be good, is black bad? |
A64002 | Or indeed the only cruelty; there being no cruelty in the other at all? |
A64002 | Or is he the Authour of sinne who is the efficient cause of the act of sinne? |
A64002 | Or is it his meaning that it is avoidable by nature? |
A64002 | Or is it the doing of somewhat, whereupon occasion is taken to sinne, to blaspheme? |
A64002 | Or murther? |
A64002 | Or shall the saw extoll it selfe against him that moveth it? |
A64002 | Or shall wee hereupon say, they doe not sinne freely? |
A64002 | Or the Leopard his spotts? |
A64002 | Or the elect of God more in any age? |
A64002 | Or was it the doctrine of reprobation, as not proceeding upon the foresight of sinne, but of the meer pleasure of God? |
A64002 | Or was there any uproare made thereupon,''till Arminius his innovating? |
A64002 | Or was this known to Aristotle by all the light of nature whereunto he attained? |
A64002 | Or was this suffering of his for any sinne of his own? |
A64002 | Or what Papists doth he mean, if neither Jesuits nor Dominicans, nor any such as concurre with either of them? |
A64002 | Or what reason have they to weep and mourne when they have sinned, seeing they have not sinned truly, because they sinned necessarily? |
A64002 | Or will he answer that he was the first that said so? |
A64002 | Or will he have faith to come to passe necessarily, but not absolutely and antecedently? |
A64002 | Predestination is the preparation of grace, Grace the gift it selfe which was prepared; not the bestowing of it: How can it be? |
A64002 | Quae sunt stellae? |
A64002 | Quantamlibet praebuerit patientiam, nisi Deus dederit, quis agit paenitentiam? |
A64002 | Quare de vulvâ aduxisti me? |
A64002 | Quare non in vulvâ mortuus sum? |
A64002 | Quid ad te de occultâ Dei praedestinatione? |
A64002 | Quid autem futurum est Deo, qui omnia super graditur tempora? |
A64002 | Quid egisti Deus meus? |
A64002 | Quid est praescientia nisi scientia futurorum? |
A64002 | Quid est praescientia nisi scientia futurorum? |
A64002 | Quid mirum ergo si talis voluntas sit Diaboli maneipium? |
A64002 | Quis eas ordinavit? |
A64002 | Quis enim diceret ei quid fecisti, si damnaret justum? |
A64002 | Quis porro tam impie desipiat ut dicat, Deum malas hominum voluntates quas voluerit, quando voluerit, ubi voluerit, in bonum non posse convertere? |
A64002 | Quis sapiens& intelligit? |
A64002 | Quomodo autem is, qui non agit, eo ipso quod non agit, aliquid extra se causet, vel alteri necessitatem agendi offerat? |
A64002 | Quomodo dixerit Dominus huic homini maledicere David, quis sapiens& intelliget? |
A64002 | Quomodo enim dici potest permitti illud, quod non fit? |
A64002 | Quos omnes? |
A64002 | Saint Paul had a most gratious will, but he found in himselfe no power to doe that he would, but what is the issue of this complaint? |
A64002 | Secondly, In putting the case of some cursing their birth day, but how? |
A64002 | Secondly, Wherein consists this harshnesse? |
A64002 | Secondly, Who seeth not that this argument tends to the utter destruction of all distinct intentions of end, and means in God? |
A64002 | Shall not God call upon us to pay our debts, because we are become bankrupts? |
A64002 | Shall not God have as much power over the masse of mankind, as the Potter hath over the clay? |
A64002 | Shall not the judge of all the earth doe right? |
A64002 | Shall one man sinne, and wilt thou be angry with all the congregation? |
A64002 | Shall right reason suggest the destroying of this for pain''s sake? |
A64002 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? |
A64002 | Shall the thing formed say to it that formed it why hast thou made me thus? |
A64002 | Shall the thing formed say to it that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? |
A64002 | Shall we continue in sinne that grace may abound? |
A64002 | Shall we contradict plain places, because we can not comprehend the obscure? |
A64002 | Shall we say that voluntatis omnipotentis effectus impeditur a voluntate creaturae, as Austin expresseth the absurdity hereof? |
A64002 | Shall we taxe God for crueltie in keeping mens bodies and soules alive for ever in hell fire to torment them everlastingly without end? |
A64002 | Shall we therefore renounce that doctrine? |
A64002 | Sic usus est Iudaeis crucifigentibus Christum,& quanta inde bona praestitit populis credituris? |
A64002 | Since their originall sinne( you say) they are justly damnable; But I pray consider, how came they to be thus justly damnable? |
A64002 | Sinne, he saith, is laesio Divinae majestatis, the wronging of the Divine majesty; but in what sense I pray? |
A64002 | So Barwardine maintaines that God necessitates the will of the creatue; but how? |
A64002 | So I demand whether it be invincible hardnesse of heart or no? |
A64002 | So that upon suspicion that God doth will a thing, that thing shall certainly and infallibly come to passe; but how? |
A64002 | So then if I conceive my selfe to be a reprobate from grace, will you comfort me by saying, that I am no absolute reprobate from grace? |
A64002 | Soe then the Gospell giveth life by the spirit which accompanyeth the Ministry thereof; but to whom? |
A64002 | Such indeed are Beza''s words upon that of the Apostle, Who hath given first unto God? |
A64002 | Surely only thus: O man who art thou that disputest with God? |
A64002 | T is true, some perish only in originall sinne, and that justly: for if they be borne children of wrath, is it strange if they dye children of wrath? |
A64002 | That God will have a great many to be damned, and to have no part in Christ? |
A64002 | That I may save some; and who are they? |
A64002 | That all mankind are involved in the guilt of eternall death? |
A64002 | That foresight of sinnes was the cause why they were not predestinated unto life? |
A64002 | That is opposit to a divine, this to ā humane good? |
A64002 | That piety is trampled downe? |
A64002 | The Angells had no Satan to tempt them; God preserved the elect Angells from sinning, and how? |
A64002 | The Gospell is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, and the power of God unto Salvation; but to whom? |
A64002 | The labour of Paul more abundantly then of all the rest of the Apostles, was it not a free action in Paul? |
A64002 | The last is that God''s worke it is to harden mans heart, and thereby prepare him to destruction? |
A64002 | The other is, Whether faith and repentance be determined by God to be conferred on man conditionally? |
A64002 | The question is of the suffering of hell paines, whether it be worse then to be annihilated? |
A64002 | The question is whether he concurred to the effecting of it absolutely or conditionally? |
A64002 | The regenerate or unregenerate? |
A64002 | The wall it selfe is white; what therefore shall we not distinguish between the wall, and the white colour of it? |
A64002 | The words are these, Can God speak thus to Reprobates, who by his own decree shall never repent? |
A64002 | Then againe who are they that maintaine, Fatum, destiny? |
A64002 | Then said the Lord how long? |

A64002 | Thirdly consider, dost thou complaine thou hadst no power to believe, but I pray thee tell me, hast thou any will to believe? |
A64002 | Thirdly whether tends this, that all men have power to believe if they will, to repent if they will? |
A64002 | Thirdly, Did not God intend that they should not be of God, as many as are not regenerated by him? |

A64002 | Thou wilt say then, why doth he yet complaine? |
A64002 | Though a man that is reprobated of God can not obtaine Grace,( for how should he obtaine it if God will not give it? |

A64002 | Ticonius considered not that faith it selfe is the gift of God, neither was he so carefull to look into the truth of this; and why? |
A64002 | To all, as this Author supposeth? |
A64002 | To appoint to hell, what is it but to appoint to the sufferings of the torments of hell? |
A64002 | To believe that Christ died for them, when it is no such matter? |
A64002 | To conclude, what think you of the gift of faith, hath Christ merited it for us or no? |
A64002 | To damne men for their sinnes neverbroken offby repentance? |
A64002 | To either side, or only to that side, on whose side this Author conceives the truth to stand? |

A64002 | on our side, who say, God inflicts eternall death on none, but such as are guilty of eternall death? |
A64002 | or granting it to be the gift of God, did he maintaine, that God gave it according unto works? |
A64002 | or is this any glory to the Wren, or disparagement to the Eagle? |
A64002 | or rather on his side who saith, that God of his meer pleasure, makes men guilty of eternall death? |
