| A47612 | therefore we will praise thee every one: 2 Shall Man assume some part of it? |
| A47612 | what Fool is there who doth refuse to buy? |
| A47612 | what hast thou now to shew? |
| A47612 | what kind of Spirit''s this, That makes thy Saints with joy to run, and thy sweet Lips to Kiss? |
| A47612 | what, Lord, am I? |
| A47612 | whither can we fly? |
| A47612 | with the Father and Son, Are we Vnited and made One? |
| A47086 | And O what hurryings, tossings and Tumblings to and fro in their Spirits have some Christians met with in the late times, and still daily meet withal? |
| A47086 | And if high strong Towers can not stand before a consuming fire, how is it possible for Briars and Thorns? |
| A47086 | And lastly, What is meant by burning up the Chaff with unquenchable fire? |
| A47086 | Are you willing to suffer the Wrath of God for ever, rather than to forgo your vain and wicked Courses? |
| A47086 | Be content with your Condition, tho''poor in this World, remember Lazarus, how much better was his state than the Rich Glutton''s? |
| A47086 | But alas, alas, what is internal Wrath let out on the Soul in Hell, as he notes? |
| A47086 | But shall there not be an end of the Torments of the Damned? |
| A47086 | But what is intended or meant by it here? |
| A47086 | But what is meant by Christs Fan in a spiritual sense? |
| A47086 | Chaff is of very little worth or value unto Wheat: What is the Chaff unto the Wheat, saith the Lord? |
| A47086 | Fourthly, Why are the Saints compared to Wheat? |
| A47086 | His Visitors asked him if they should Pray for him? |
| A47086 | How can this Man give us his flesh to eat? |
| A47086 | Moreover, are there not in this floor others who are proud, earthly, carnal and covetous Persons? |
| A47086 | No Doctrine tends to promote Gospel Holiness like the Doctrine of Gods Free- Grace: Shall we sin because grace hath abounded? |
| A47086 | O what will you do in the day of Gods Wrath if ye are Chaff, or but counterfeit Christians? |
| A47086 | Said a godly man, this is a humbling dispensation that you are exercised under — A humbling dispensation, said he, do you call it? |
| A47086 | Some said with a whispering Voice that he was possessed; he over- hearing it, said, Do ye doubt it? |
| A47086 | The Conscience in a fearful manner shall torment the damned: May we not conclude Conscience will terrifie them after this manner? |
| A47086 | Thirdly what is meant by the Chaff? |
| A47086 | What Hell can be worse than Desparation, or what greater Punishment than the gnawing worm, and unquenchable Fire? |
| A47086 | What is intended by Christs Garner? |
| A47086 | What is intended by the Fan? |
| A47086 | What torments like fire? |
| A47086 | What will then the Sorrow be for the Loss of Jesus Christ? |
| A47086 | When infinite power is exerted in punishing the offending Sinner, who can conceive of that? |
| A47086 | Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? |
| A47086 | Who among us shall dwell with devouring Fire? |
| A47086 | Who can stand before his indignation, when his wrath is poured out like fire, on the Souls and Consciences of Men? |
| A47086 | Who can stand before his indignation? |
| A47086 | Why are Hypocrites or ungodly Persons in the Church compared to Chaff? |
| A47086 | Will you glory in your Riches, Honours, Gifts, Knowledge, or any thing you have? |
| A47086 | and how may they be known? |
| A47086 | and what fire is so hot and so tormenting as Hell- fire? |
| A47086 | are not these fearful Tokens and Signs of Gods Wrath and Indignation? |
| A47086 | are there worse, or more notorious, more loose, light, prophane, unbelieving and ungodly Wretches living on the face of the Earth? |
| A47086 | are they delightful? |
| A47086 | are they not Harbingers and Presages of what is coming upon the World, and of the end thereof? |
| A47086 | can this stand consistent with the Sweetness of his Nature and infinite mercy? |
| A47086 | do you feed the Hungry, Visit the Sick, and Cloath the naked? |
| A47086 | do you think that this Disease is to be Cured by Potions? |
| A47086 | how do you carry it at home and abroad? |
| A47086 | how far wide are you? |
| A47086 | if he deals thus sharply with those he loves, what will their portion be whom he hates? |
| A47086 | if his Wisdom leadeth him forth thus to corect in mercy, what will be the strokes of his Justice and incensed Wrath and Fury? |
| A47086 | if not in Christ? |
| A47086 | if not sincere? |
| A47086 | in Hell sinners shall be continually with him, nay with millions of Devils; who can express the Horror that will seize on the damned in this respect? |
| A47086 | is he precious to your Souls, the chiefest of ten thousand? |
| A47086 | is it not to assure all ungodly persons of the certainty of it? |
| A47086 | look into a Glass- house,( behold their burning Furnaces) or into a hot Oven; can you bear the thoughts of being thrown into one of them? |
| A47086 | nay, to that Divine Wrath doth kindle? |
| A47086 | or the stroaks of a Child, to the blows of a Giant? |
| A47086 | should a King lose his Crown and Kingdom to get a few Cockle- shells, would it not bring Shame upon him? |
| A47086 | the Lord hath spoken, who can but prophesie? |
| A47086 | what Love have you to Christ? |
| A47086 | what Love have you to the Children of God? |
| A47086 | what are the Lashes of a small Whip, to that with Scorpions? |
| A47086 | what is Christs floor, which he is said to purge? |
| A47086 | what is signified hereby? |
| A47086 | what is the nature of that certain fearful looking for of Judgment and fiery indignation? |
| A47086 | who amongst us shall dwell with Everlasting Burning? |
| A47086 | who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting Burnings? |
| A47086 | who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting burning? |
| A47086 | who can apprehend it, or is rightly and duely affected therewith? |
| A47086 | who can stand here whilst in this World before an Angry God, or encounter with Offended Omnipotency? |
| A47086 | will infinite Goodness be so severe with his offending Creatures? |
| A47362 | 13. and yet shall Babylon be ripe, and the Harvest of wrath come so long before the set or appointed time of Harvest? |
| A47362 | 13. is, How long is the Vision to give both the Sanctuary and the Host to be trodden under foot? |
| A47362 | A noise like that of shaking, and the Bones came together Bone to his Bone, and Sinews and Flesh coming upon them, and is not Breath come into them? |
| A47362 | AND First, why two Witnesses? |
| A47362 | And is not this to exalt the man of Sin above God himself? |
| A47362 | And the Angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou Marvel? |
| A47362 | And the Angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? |
| A47362 | And whosoever obeyeth not his precepts incurreth the Sin of Idolatry, doth he not in this shew himself indeed to be God? |
| A47362 | At what? |
| A47362 | Besides he can forgive sins tho''the evil habits be not changed, what is all this then to make himself God, and to exalt himself above God? |
| A47362 | Besides, what reason is there to conclude the Harvest of Gods wrath is come, till''t is fully ripe? |
| A47362 | But how doth it appear that the 70 years doth begin in the 1st of these goings into Captivity? |
| A47362 | Came these unparallel''d Degrees of Impiety from the Turks? |
| A47362 | Did not the great King of Literal Babylon own the only true God, yet still held the Church in Captivity? |
| A47362 | For First, Hath she adored the Pope, as her Lord God, universal Head, and infallible Bishop, setting him up above all Laws? |
| A47362 | For the Mystery of Iniquiry doth already Work — The, Angel said unto me; Wherefore didst thou marvel? |
| A47362 | God the Pope,* and whatsoever he doth, no man may say to him, Why do you this? |
| A47362 | Hath and doth she worship the Virgin Mary, Angels, and many departed Saints? |
| A47362 | Hath not Papal Rome this very character upon her forehead? |
| A47362 | Hath she adored Images, the Crucifix, the Host, and Pictures of pretended Saints? |
| A47362 | Hath she foolishly, and Idolatroully de based her self with the adoration of the Relick ● of known and unknown Saints? |
| A47362 | Hath she grosly, and superstitiously worshiped the true God, in a false manner? |
| A47362 | If Babylon be totally terminated in Rome Heathen, then the Book of the Apocalypse is of little use to the Latter ages of the Christian World? |
| A47362 | Is it matter of highest wonder that they prefer Mahomet above Jesus? |
| A47362 | Is it matter of wonder, that the Turks do own but one true and most high God? |
| A47362 | Is it matter of wonder, that they appear true to their Contracts, in matters of Civil Commerce? |
| A47362 | Is it matter of wonder, that they do own Jesus Christ to be a Prophet and a good man? |
| A47362 | Is it not this Mystery Babylon that says she is the true Church, by pretending to Visibility, as one of the chief Evidences thereof? |
| A47362 | Look about you, O ye Saints, what is your expectations? |
| A47362 | No, no; why whose Language then is it? |
| A47362 | Or what similitud ● will ye set up unto him? |
| A47362 | Secondly, Who those Witnesses are? |
| A47362 | Seventhly, When this shall be? |
| A47362 | She is called Babylon, or Babel, i. e. Confusion; and doth not this agree to the Church of Rome? |
| A47362 | Sixthly where this shall be? |
| A47362 | There was to be but four Kings in Persia after Cyrus, how then could thirteen Reign? |
| A47362 | What a base compliance with the Antichristian party have we seen? |
| A47362 | What a strange dispiriting of godly people, nay, and Ministers too? |
| A47362 | What greater Blasphemy can there be? |
| A47362 | What more native and lively representation, saith he, could have been made of the rage of the Croisades? |
| A47362 | What then? |
| A47362 | When he is called universal Head of the Catholick Church is not this Blasphemy against Christ, who alone is the head of the universal Church? |
| A47362 | Who can b ● Kings without being in danger of being deposed or poysoned that subscribe not to the S ● ● of Rome? |
| A47362 | Who can be Cardina ● unless they do own the Pope? |
| A47362 | and do they not begin to live? |
| A47362 | and doth there seem any ground to expect the like again? |
| A47362 | and hath not also here been a dreadful slaughter of the true Witnesses of Christ, as we before have hinted? |
| A47362 | and why should we conclude it will be fully ripe till the 42 months are expired, which seems to be the set time of cutting down? |
| A47362 | are ye ignorant of the sign ● of the times and willingly ignorant? |
| A47362 | do you not look for great, things? |
| A47362 | doth she not openly shew her self to be the absolute Antitype of old Babel? |
| A47362 | from the Waldensians, Lutherians, Calvinists, or any Non- conforming Protestants? |
| A47362 | have not we seen a strange Spiritual War managed by Popish councils, Priests and Jesuits, and had they not very far prevailed? |
| A47362 | how was our light turned into dark ● ● and our joy to sorrow and lamentation, and 〈 ◊ 〉 ● oy and triumph attended our Popish Enemies? |
| A47362 | is not their hopes revived, and are they not up upon their feet? |
| A47362 | or are ye still as men that dream? |
| A47362 | what a strange Spirit do we see now, in all sorts of Protestants against the Whore or Antichristian party, both here and in Scotland also? |
| A47362 | when the Spirit of life from God comes upon them; Now where shall all these things be? |
| A47399 | ( 3 dly,) If not, what kind of polluted Churches must thir''s be, who have not purged out such corrupt Members? |
| A47399 | ( if he had any) do People carry their Infants to hear God''s Word? |
| A47399 | 16. and to all that were in his house; can any suppose that he preached Christ to his In ● ants? |
| A47399 | And did not Philip require it of the Eunuch? |
| A47399 | And doth not the Apostle assert the same Thing? |
| A47399 | And especially when the Children''s Names were as expresly in John''s Commession as the Parents? |
| A47399 | And if the Sinai Covenant was not a Covenant of Works, Why do all our Brethren say, as it was a Covenant of Works,''t is done away? |
| A47399 | And if they did not take Care about them, was it not their Sin? |
| A47399 | Are not my Sons and Daughters my Children, when they are 20, 30, or 40, Years Old, as well as they were my Children when but Two days Old? |
| A47399 | But did not the Fathers then, by being Circumcised, acknowledge themselves Debtors to the Law? |
| A47399 | But now, because there were so many Additions, or Ministrations of the Gospel, or New Covenant, Doth it follow, there are so many New Covenants? |
| A47399 | Ca n''t you see from hence who are the Seed of the Promise? |
| A47399 | Can one thing come in the room, or place of another, till the other is actually, and legally removed, and took away? |
| A47399 | Can the weakness of Nature hinder the Operations of the Holy Ghost, in Infants, when the Power of the Devil ca n''t, in the Adult? |
| A47399 | Can there be fire, and no heat? |
| A47399 | Did Iohn turn any Children in their Infancy to the Lord? |
| A47399 | Did not Iohn require it when he said, bring forth Fruits meet for R ● pentance,& c ▪ A Confession is a Fruit of Repentance? |
| A47399 | Do not Saints freely and voluntarily by the help of the Spirit and Grace of Christ, will that which is good and well- pleasing to him? |
| A47399 | Do we not by our Obedience to God shew forth his Grace in us, as well as our Duty of Obedience to him; what New Divinity is this? |
| A47399 | Do you think Baptism turns People to the Lord? |
| A47399 | Doth not God wrong to Men, to require of him, that he is not able to perform? |
| A47399 | Doth not Iohn positively deny, that the Covenant made with Abraham''s natural Seed as such, did give them a Right to his Baptism? |
| A47399 | Doth not Iohn tell the People when they came to his Baptism, now the Ax is laid to the Root of Trees? |
| A47399 | Ergo, Can Baptism it self give remission of Sins? |
| A47399 | Ergo, What good did Simon Magus his Baptism do him, or Iudas''s, who, no doubt, was Baptised? |
| A47399 | He farther shews, That abundance of the natural Seed of Abraham, were broken off, How were they broken off? |
| A47399 | How can Water, an external Thing, work upon the Soul, in a Physical manner? |
| A47399 | How forcible are right words, but what doth your arguing reprove? |
| A47399 | How vain then are your Arguments? |
| A47399 | How was it then reckoned, when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? |
| A47399 | I answer first, who of us say that Circumcision was a Seal of the Covenant of Works? |
| A47399 | If Iohn baptized all the People of Ierusalem,& c. then how was the Ax laid to the Root of the Tree? |
| A47399 | Is not Faith required? |
| A47399 | Is not the matter well amended with us? |
| A47399 | Is this that the Mountains have brought forth? |
| A47399 | It is said, the People ask''d him, What shall we do? |
| A47399 | Must the Shadow or Sign be part of the Substance, or belong, or appertain to the Substance? |
| A47399 | Nor is this any strange Thing, For are not all now, in these Days, under the Dispensation of the Gospel? |
| A47399 | O, says one, the Covenant is theirs, it belongs to them, and shall we deny them the Seal? |
| A47399 | Or can not that which God commands us to do, be done freely and voluntary by us? |
| A47399 | Or, doth free Grace destroy the Noble Faculty of the Will, because it over- powers its vitious Habits, and strongly inclines it to that which is good? |
| A47399 | Or, is a Confession of Sin not good, or an Evangelical Duty? |
| A47399 | Or, must an External Confession of Sin make a Change, and so all other Duties, or else not be performed by us? |
| A47399 | See here is Water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
| A47399 | Sir, this being so, what is become of your Rational Arguments, for Infant Baptism? |
| A47399 | Sir, 〈 ◊ 〉 not the genuine signification of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, alike? |
| A47399 | Then I would know whether they have their Names in their Church- Book, or Register, as Members? |
| A47399 | This being so, What is become of Mr. Flavel''s Argument, which he makes such boast of, as if unanswerable? |
| A47399 | This is strange, what People were these, and where dwelt they? |
| A47399 | What a Christian is he, whose vile Nature was never changed? |
| A47399 | What tho''''t is said Iohn was to turn the People to the Lord, and the Hearts of Children to the Fathers: was he able to change the Hearts of Infants? |
| A47399 | When God works, who can let? |
| A47399 | Who is able to know that? |
| A47399 | You make Baptism a very insignificant Sign, what good can Baptism do that Parson that has no Grace? |
| A47399 | You say right, we do not regard it indeed — Doth Baptism do all this? |
| A47399 | and how was the Chaff sanned- away out of the Floor? |
| A47399 | and their grievous Sin too? |
| A47399 | and they durst not say from Heaven, lest Christ should have ask''d them, why then do ye believe him not? |
| A47399 | and to be taught to take God''s Way as well as themselves? |
| A47399 | and whether were it some, for all? |
| A47399 | and, Why doth the Apostle say, Christ is the end of the Law, as touching Righteousness? |
| A47399 | but they would take Care about this, if they were truly awakened? |
| A47399 | can an Infant consess Sin? |
| A47399 | did Iohn baptize all and yet all come to Christ to be baptized? |
| A47399 | doth that import every Man? |
| A47399 | given on Mount Sinai? |
| A47399 | it being after Baptism, and was there any question to be made? |
| A47399 | or every individual, who can tell? |
| A47399 | or some of all degrees or sorts of Men? |
| A47399 | or were Infants Hearts turned from their Fathers, that they need, whilst Iufants to have their Hearts turned to them? |
| A47399 | or, Is thete any promise of Pardon, without unfeigned Repentance? |
| A47399 | to teach all Nations, Circumcising them; do you think they would have had ground from thence to have circumcised their Infants? |
| A47399 | was a Confession with the Mouth or Tongue, without considering any thing of the words? |
| A47399 | was that their great ● st Evil? |
| A47399 | what Privileges had the poor Gentiles under the Law, and their Children? |
| A47399 | what, not let them have a bit of Wax? |
| A47399 | when shall this Controversie cease? |
| A47399 | which is not denied: Yet, what of this? |
| A47399 | — We read of one Animal that spoke, must all Animals speak therefore? |
| A47437 | & c. Sometimes it calls for Faith, and Dependance; Behold, the Lamb of God,& c. I said, behold me, behold me; what is that but to believe in him? |
| A47437 | 5 Can you behold him in his bloody Ag ● ny, sweating great drops of Blood? |
| A47437 | A Child Created, not Begotten, but Created in the Virgin''s Womb by the Lord, is not that a marvellous thing? |
| A47437 | Are you at the lowest part of the Ladder, and there rest; or are you got up towards the top thereof? |
| A47437 | Are you ignorant of your Honour and blessed Safety? |
| A47437 | Are you willing to leave Earth, to leave this World, to go to Heaven? |
| A47437 | Behold me? |
| A47437 | But did he value that? |
| A47437 | But say some, What do you leave to Christ and the Holy Spirit to do, if Angels do ● o much for us? |
| A47437 | But why must she be covered, because of the Angels? |
| A47437 | By his Actions; even every w ● y: what Love, greater Love, infinite Love, and willi ● gness, can be shewed? |
| A47437 | By his Expressions and Invitations; Come unto me, all ye that Labour, and are heavy Laden, and I will give you Rest? |
| A47437 | Can a carnal heart see Beauty in Christ, or in heavenly things? |
| A47437 | Can you behold him entering into a Covenant of Rede ● ption from Eternity for you, and not love him? |
| A47437 | Can you behold him, and think of that purpose of Grace, eternal Love, and good Will unto you from e ● erlasting, and not love him? |
| A47437 | Can you see him Nailed to a Tree, and his Side pierced with a Spear, which run into his Heart; and all this for you, and not love him? |
| A47437 | Can ● n earthly Spirit, prize or value spiritual Honour, or Riches? |
| A47437 | Canst not thou be satisfied with any thing without him? |
| A47437 | Canst not thou endure to grieve nor offend him? |
| A47437 | Come as thou art, to the Fountain: Dost thou Thirst after Happiness? |
| A47437 | Did you ever see your lost Condition in the first Adam, and that there is no other way to be Saved, but by the Lord Jesus? |
| A47437 | Do Angels minister to us? |
| A47437 | Do Angels wait on the Heirs of Salvation, Heirs of Glory? |
| A47437 | Do you dwell in Communion with God? |
| A47437 | Dost thou account all things loss for the excel ● of Jesus Christ? |
| A47437 | Dost thou deny thy self, and forsake all things for his sake, and take up thy Cross and follow him? |
| A47437 | Dost thou desire before all things to be like unto him, or have his Image? |
| A47437 | Dost thou find Guilt to lye upon thy Conscience? |
| A47437 | Dost thou lay the whole stress of thy Salvation on Jesus Christ, and believe with thy whole Heart? |
| A47437 | Dost thou love him above all things in the world? |
| A47437 | Dost thou see thy Filthiness? |
| A47437 | Dost thou see thy self Sick, here''s thy Physician? |
| A47437 | Dost thou see thy self a Sinner? |
| A47437 | Doth Christ''s chief Courtiers above, wait upon us below? |
| A47437 | Doth not God hereby shew greater Love and Grace, than if he had saved lost Sinners on a way of simple Mercy, without the Death of his own Son? |
| A47437 | Hath every Saint a particular Angel to attend him? |
| A47437 | Have we such a Guard? |
| A47437 | How may this raise the Hearts of Believers? |
| A47437 | Inquiry] But why is there so great a fulness in Christ? |
| A47437 | Is it not a costly Ladder, of more Worth than ten thousand Worlds? |
| A47437 | Is it not a marvellous thing, that Death should be overcome and destroyed by Death? |
| A47437 | Is it not a marvellous thing, that the King upon the Throne should lay aside his Robes, and dye for c ● rsed Traytors, and contemptible Beggers? |
| A47437 | Is it not a wonderful thing that God and Man, or the divine and humane Nature should be so united to be but one Person? |
| A47437 | Is it not an amazing thing, to see Jesus made a Curse to raise Sinners from under the Curse to eternal Bl ● ● ● edness? |
| A47437 | Is not that a wonderful thing which Non- plusses all the Wisdom of Men and Angels? |
| A47437 | Moreover, What Love is this? |
| A47437 | Moreover, how else also could he have overcome Death, the Devil, and all our Enemies, and have raised himself from the Dead? |
| A47437 | Must we ride in the King''s own Chariot to Heaven? |
| A47437 | No, not with Ordinances, unless thou dost meet with him, and enjoyst him in them? |
| A47437 | O be humble, and lie at Christ''s feet: What hath he done for such unworthy Creatures? |
| A47437 | O then, come? |
| A47437 | O what an excellent Grace is the Grace of Faith, the hand of Faith, and how useful and necessary at such a time? |
| A47437 | Or between a holy God, and a filthy and polluted Creature? |
| A47437 | Our blessed Lord bids us Remember Lot''s Wife; why so? |
| A47437 | Secondly, Sinner, will you not behold this Christ thy Saviour? |
| A47437 | Sirs, could the ungodly but see what an Host of Angels does attend upon the poorest Saint as he passes along, they would say, Who is this? |
| A47437 | Sirs, wh ● ● would not adventure up this Ladder, when the ● ● is such such Glory? |
| A47437 | Some lay quite aside this chief Corner- stone: What do they less, that trust to a sober Moral Life? |
| A47437 | The Devil presently said in her( as I remember the passage) What did ● ● e then upon my ground? |
| A47437 | There is no need to prove matter of Fact that it''t is so: What Night, with reference to some or other, doth not utter this point of Knowledge? |
| A47437 | Thirdly, Why doth Christ imploy the holy Angels to minister to his Saints? |
| A47437 | Thirdly, Why we should behold this Ladder, or look unto Jesus Christ? |
| A47437 | Try yourselves, do you exalt Jesus Christ? |
| A47437 | Were you ever brought to the Foot of Christ? |
| A47437 | What Work- man but the eternal God, could make such a Ladder? |
| A47437 | What are Pearls or Diamonds to this Pearl? |
| A47437 | What have Ministers to Preach but Jesus Christ? |
| A47437 | What is Man, that thou art mindful of him? |
| A47437 | What precious Stones may be compared to this precious tryed Stone? |
| A47437 | What prodigious Courage have you? |
| A47437 | What will you leave to the Angels to do,( saith one) if they do not Teach, Guide, Protect and Minister unto us? |
| A47437 | What, vile Wretch dost thou do? |
| A47437 | Wherefore? |

| A47613 | Alas, what is your life, you know not how soon death may come and knock at your doors, or look in at your windows? |
| A47613 | And certain I am, you have had many of these in this place, Nay, how many warnings have you had of the near approach of death? |
| A47613 | And hath not Gods spirit striven with you also? |
| A47613 | And shall none of these work upon you? |
| A47613 | Be you sure you shall hear the joyful sound? |

| A47613 | First, Doth not some poor soul hear say, Oh what shall I do that I may be prepared for the grave? |
| A47613 | Hath not God afforded you the Gospel beyond what he hath to divers parts of the world? |
| A47613 | Have not you and I notwithstanding all this hearkened to a base deceitful heart, and inticeing and tempting Devil? |

| A47613 | Oh what a miserable creature hath sin made man, or rather man by sin made himself? |
| A47613 | Oh what is a greater trouble to a Child of God than indwelling sin? |
| A47613 | Oh what pains did he take with some of you, that so you might be ready? |

| A47401 | How shall we take up our abode In him whom we should love? |
| A47401 | Is holiness in you? |
| A47401 | Is it not time, can any think, With speed to come away? |

| A47401 | Who would not fear and praise thy Name, Thou only Holy One? |
| A47401 | Yet Grace doth cover this defect, Thy Beauty''s great within: 3 Or art thou poor, and so art brought Unto contempt and scorn? |
| A47401 | and whither go? |
| A47401 | dead unto sin? |
| A47401 | how long was it before Thou couldst make us to yield? |

| A47489 | ( as I have said before of Two) i. e. Is he not to bring us to God, as well as God to us? |
| A47489 | 2 Art thou afflicted for thy sins? |
| A47489 | 2. let the Fruits of God''s Grace shine forth in your Lives: what shall we render to God for all his Covenant- Blessings? |
| A47489 | Although my House be not so with God; a little first by way of Explication: Although my House be not so with God, how is that? |
| A47489 | And doth not performing imply a Covenant or Promise he has made to do it? |
| A47489 | And doth not this respect as they confess, all his Seed? |
| A47489 | And if so, how could they be Two distinct Covenants? |
| A47489 | And may not Believers in Christ lay claim to Christ''s reward? |
| A47489 | And never from Christ''s Truth did start or swerve Shall Envy then his Name or Glory stain? |
| A47489 | Art poor? |
| A47489 | Art thou afraid thou shalt sometime or another depart from God, or fall away from him? |
| A47489 | Art thou backsliden from God? |
| A47489 | Art thou like a dry withered Tree? |
| A47489 | Art thou tempted? |
| A47489 | Art thou weary? |
| A47489 | But methinks I hear some poor sinner crying out, How may I come to be in this Covenant? |
| A47489 | Can a dead Man quicken himself? |
| A47489 | Can he deliver his Soul from the Hand of the Grave? |
| A47489 | Can others come to Christ who have not the like Faith and Repentance given to them? |
| A47489 | Can we believe before the Habit is infused from whence the Act proceedeth? |
| A47489 | Can we subdue the Powers of darkness, or break Satan''s Chains? |
| A47489 | Dare you not venture on Christ? |
| A47489 | Dare you plead it at God''s Bar? |
| A47489 | Did Christ enter into a Covenant for himself? |
| A47489 | Did he merit for himself, and for us only a conditional Covenant? |
| A47489 | Did not we all rise from the dead with Christ, vertually when he was raised? |
| A47489 | Do thy sins appear grievous to thee? |
| A47489 | Do we( saith the Apostle) make void the law through faith? |
| A47489 | Dost thou believe that thou canst not be saved, but by the Death of Jesus Christ? |
| A47489 | Dost thou fear Satan will be too hard for thee? |
| A47489 | Doth not Paul close his Epistles, with a sort of Prayer, to the Holy Spirit, as well to the Father, and to the Son? |
| A47489 | Doth not he begin the good Work in us, and will he not perform it unto the end? |
| A47489 | Faith is the Gift of the Promise, therefore not the Condition of it; they are Foederalia relata: Can a Promise or a Gift be a Condition of it self? |
| A47489 | God calls home his Ambssadours, a- pace, what may we expect? |
| A47489 | Hath Christ performed his part so in the Covenant of Redemption, that he hath no more to do, by vertue of his Mediatory Covenant? |
| A47489 | Have not I done his Business for him? |
| A47489 | How many years did he his Master serve? |
| A47489 | How would he have Gloried and have Blasphemed God, had not this Covenant been provided? |
| A47489 | I have found David my Servant, my Covenant shall stand fast with him; when did God find him, Was it not before the World began? |
| A47489 | I hope they may mean well, but may they not fear they mistake? |
| A47489 | I would know what that Reward is which Christ doth challenge, is it not Grace, Righteousness and Eternal Life for all the Elect? |
| A47489 | I would know whether all the Elect were not considered in Christ, and was it not for us that he entered into that Covenant? |
| A47489 | If Faith and Repentance be given to the Elect, who are saved? |
| A47489 | If you will say, it is a Promise to a Condition, what kind of Condition was it? |
| A47489 | Is it not said, The Seed of the Woman shall bruise his Head? |
| A47489 | Is it not that he might Quicken us, and Communicate of his Grace to us, as he is our Head and( Mediator) and we his Members? |
| A47489 | Is it this? |
| A47489 | Is not Christ the Mediator? |
| A47489 | Is not Union with Christ, the only way to the promised Blessings? |
| A47489 | Is not he the Author and Finisher of our Faith? |
| A47489 | Is not here Relief for thee, if thou art afflicted? |
| A47489 | Is not the Debter a party with the Surety, and so the Elect a party with Christ? |
| A47489 | Is the Covenant of Grace made with Christ for us? |
| A47489 | Is there no Help? |
| A47489 | Is there not all things that you want in Christ, and ● n this Covenant? |
| A47489 | Is this to get Union with Christ? |
| A47489 | Many we lost before, for which we mourn, And shall we Forty lose without a Groan? |
| A47489 | Must bring, Doth not that Obligation that was upon him, referr to the Covenant made with the Father? |
| A47489 | Must not Christ perform all these things for us? |
| A47489 | No Relief for your Souls in this Covenant? |
| A47489 | Now''t is question''d,( saith Reverend Cotton,) whether the Promise wherein the Lord giveth himself, be Absolute or Conditional? |
| A47489 | Or Prejudice wound him to death again? |
| A47489 | Or not deem him a Prince in Israel? |
| A47489 | Say if you can, what cause gave he to fear, He was not ev''ry way a Man sincere? |
| A47489 | Shall Christ and all Covenant Mercies be offered to you? |
| A47489 | Shall we not sigh for him who lately fell? |
| A47489 | Souls what aileth you? |
| A47489 | Souls, ● emember God calls it his Covenant, where is it called our Covenant? |
| A47489 | Thy Seed, Who doth he speak to? |
| A47489 | True, we merit nothing; but did not Christ merit all for us? |
| A47489 | VVere not all the Elect, or all Christ dyed for, vertually( as in our Head) reconciled to God by the Death of Christ? |
| A47489 | Was he sure or certain of any one Soul, as the Reward of all this hard Work and Sufferings? |
| A47489 | Was not then the Covenant of Grace as Ancient? |
| A47489 | Were not all that Christ died for, chosen in him before the foundation of the World? |
| A47489 | What are we able to do, when dead in Sin and Trespasses? |
| A47489 | What is the Purport of this Doctrine, as it is improved by our new Methodists? |
| A47489 | What short of Almighty Power can form the Image of God in the Soul, or create us again in Christ Jesus? |
| A47489 | Where is that Image now which thou stampt on his Soul? |
| A47489 | Why is Christ called a Quickening Spirit, and so full of Grace? |
| A47489 | Why, Is not the purport of it this? |
| A47489 | Wicked Men dye, so do the Godly, and as do the People, so do their Ministers, The Fathers, where are they? |
| A47489 | Will you make God a Liar? |
| A47489 | Will you plead your sincere Obedience? |
| A47489 | Will you venture your Souls upon it? |
| A47489 | With whom was the Covenant of Grace made? |
| A47489 | a Feast of fat Things provided for you, and will you make light of this Offer? |
| A47489 | above Christ, above the Salvation of your Souls; can you think God will give himself to you? |
| A47489 | and afraid thou shalt want Bread? |
| A47489 | and can any perform the Terms of this Covenant without Christ, in the Execution of his Office as our Mediator and Surety? |
| A47489 | and can there be such a noble Effect without the cause from whence it proceeds? |
| A47489 | and doth not the Apostle assure us that we shall much more be saved by Christ''s Life, if he reconciled us to God by his Death? |
| A47489 | and has he undertaken for our Souls as our Surety? |
| A47489 | and how few raised up in their stead? |
| A47489 | and is it not particularly implyed in those Words, he shall see his Seed? |
| A47489 | and not believe the Record he hath given of his Son? |
| A47489 | and the Prophets, do they live for ever? |
| A47489 | are we stronger than the strong Man ● rmed? |
| A47489 | art a wretched sinner? |

| A47489 | but he only? |
| A47489 | but let out his Wrath upon him, and will he spare you? |
| A47489 | do you not tremble to think of the evil of sin? |
| A47489 | dost thou thirst? |
| A47489 | doth not Faith flow from a Principle of divine Life? |
| A47489 | doth not the Apostle argue from the greater Gift of God''s Grace to the lesser Gift? |
| A47489 | for your sins? |
| A47489 | how doth the Love of the Father abound towards us? |
| A47489 | how then can that be a distinct Covenant from the Covenant of Grace; is dead Man, vile, and depraved Man, capable to enter into a Covenant with God? |
| A47489 | i. e. Christ doth not believe for us; Who says he doth? |
| A47489 | in the Beauty of Holiness: Is Christ a true and proper Redeemer of all? |
| A47489 | is it ordered in all things and sure? |
| A47489 | is this Regeneration? |
| A47489 | or can he refuse to live that has life infused into him? |

| A47489 | that have your own sins and horrid guilt and pollution charged upon your own Souls? |

| A47489 | was not Christ set up as Mediator from Everlasting? |
| A47489 | was not the Gift of Christ in his death for us a greater gift than the gift of the Spirit to us? |
| A47489 | what a dangerous state are we in? |
| A47489 | what good will this do you? |
| A47489 | what''s the cause of your Disquietments and Sorrow? |
| A47489 | why should we be of good chear upon his overcoming the World, if it was not for us, and to assure us that we shall overcome it? |
| A47489 | why, to his Servant, doth not these Promises referr to that Covenant made with Christ, which you call the Covenant of Redemption? |
| A47489 | will you value your base Lusts above God? |

| A47602 | 16. he or she? |
| A47602 | Alas, they want Power to do it for themselves, and how then should they do it for others? |
| A47602 | Also why did Christ make Disciples first, and then baptize them? |
| A47602 | And a damning Sin? |
| A47602 | And also to say, I Baptize thee in the Name,& c. when indeed he doth not Baptize, but only Rantize the Child? |
| A47602 | And because they baptized Proselytes both Men, Women and Children, must Christians do so too? |
| A47602 | And doth 〈 … 〉 open a Door to other innovations? |
| A47602 | And if it was a human Jewish Tradition, what is become of one of the great Sacraments of the New Testament? |
| A47602 | And if some Additions were made to the old Custom, why might there not be some Diminutions also? |
| A47602 | And is not Faith turned there into Vision? |
| A47602 | And whether to allow the Church a Power to make such Alterations, be not dangerous? |
| A47602 | And will any Man( says he) yea, will Paul ascribe all this to 〈 ◊ 〉 that did no ● so much as profess the thing ● 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A47602 | Are not the Papists Pedobaptists, and some of the first and chief Assertors of it, and what an erronious Crew are they? |
| A47602 | Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the Case: and will not God one Day say, Who has required these things at your Hands? |
| A47602 | But how dare you 〈 … 〉, the Church hath power to dispense 〈 … 〉 Dipping ▪ and change it into Sprinkling? |
| A47602 | But is it so indeed? |
| A47602 | But why do you say this is a circumstantial Thing? |
| A47602 | Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required? |
| A47602 | Can an Infant sent into a 〈 … 〉 be more confident for Christ 〈 … 〉 when he comes to be a Man, than ● ● ● e had not been baptized? |
| A47602 | Can any outward Act bring or introduce People either young or old into the Covenant of Grace, if they are brought thereby into the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47602 | Did not Moses make every Law, Precept or Command plain, that he that runs might read it? |
| A47602 | Did you never read of the Figure Sylepsis, or Conceptio, that comprehends the less worthy under the more worthy, indignioris sub dign ● ore? |
| A47602 | Do you not herein implicitly confess that Custom amongst the Jews was humane? |
| A47602 | Do you not intimate it was not instituted anew, but rather a Custom continued? |
| A47602 | Doth Baptism, Sirs, make either Children or others Disciples? |
| A47602 | Doth Sprinkling represent a Burial? |
| A47602 | Doth not the Apostle say, we shall behold Face to Face; and the pure in Heart shall see God? |
| A47602 | Doth not the Church of England say, that Baptism is the outward Sign of an inward spiritual Grace? |
| A47602 | Eleventhly; You ask whether Children have not as much right to their Baptism as that of Adult Females? |
| A47602 | Ergo, Infants ought not to be baptized ▪ If any should say, Why did you not cite these Assertions of Mr. Ba ● ter''s whilst he was living? |
| A47602 | For, as Mr. Baxter saith, If we have it not here, where have we it? |
| A47602 | Furthermore; because Believers are made holy by the Operations of the Spirit, are all their Children made holy in like manner also? |
| A47602 | Have not we shewed that the proper Antitype of Circumcision in the Flesh is that of the Heart? |

| A47602 | I query, whether this be good Divinity, not rather a strange Doctrine? |
| A47602 | If Children be saved whether baptized or not, what signifies Baptism? |
| A47602 | If so, I query, Whether Circumcision was an Ordinance that appertained to the Covenant of Grace, and was the Seal of it? |
| A47602 | If you should, whither would this ● ead you? |

| A47602 | Is it Wisdom in you in such a corrupt Age as this is, to lay down such Assertions? |
| A47602 | Is it not said, This Sect is every- where spoken against? |
| A47602 | Is not Faith the Evidence of Things not seen, and the Substance of Things hoped for? |
| A47602 | More, a Papist, was glad he had not proselyted Persons to his youthful Errors; must we therefore be afraid to promulgate a positive Truth of Christ? |
| A47602 | Moreover, how can they come to the knowledg of spiritual Things by Sense? |
| A47602 | Nay, and what Arguments do you bring to prove they thereby are introduced into the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47602 | Now can this be a Truth, since Christ who was more faithful than Moses, and delivered every thing plainly from the Father? |
| A47602 | Or, hath the Gospel- Church a greater dispensing Power in such Cases, than the Church had under the Law? |
| A47602 | Pray what Precept of the Mosaical Law lay so dark or obscure, that it could not be proved without Consequences? |
| A47602 | Pray, what an assurance can that give them of the Favour of God, unless he had appointed it, and imparted some spiritual Grace thereby to them? |
| A47602 | Pray, what was the Doctrine he preach''d? |
| A47602 | Shall that be such a sight that Moses had whilst on Earth? |
| A47602 | Sixthly; To what purpose do you mention Jairus''s Daughter? |
| A47602 | Tenthly; What signifies what some of the Ancient Fathers believed, i. e. That Federal Holiness of Parents made Children Candidates for Baptism? |
| A47602 | The Baptism of John, whether is it from Heaven, or of Men? |
| A47602 | The first Question you pretend to answer is this, i. e. Whether Baptism( as it is commonly taught) is the proper and natural Antitype of Circumcision? |
| A47602 | To contemn this Order, saith he, is to contemn the Rules of Order, for where can we find it if not here? |
| A47602 | Unless a Man be bor ● again; the Woman is included; or, have Women no Souls? |
| A47602 | Was it in being long before, and yet not instituted or appointed by Jehovah? |
| A47602 | Was it necessary then, that a human Tradition of the Jews should be continued? |
| A47602 | Was not Nadab and Abihu''s Transgression, and that of Uzzah''s, more like Circumstantials than this is? |
| A47602 | We grant they may have Faith hereafter; what tho? |
| A47602 | Were those Stories true of him and others? |
| A47602 | What is it they have not received in Heaven, which they trust in God for? |
| A47602 | What is required of Persons to be baptized? |
| A47602 | What kind of poisonous Stuff is this you trouble the World with? |
| A47602 | What think you of those that die in Infancy unbaptized? |
| A47602 | Where do you read of it? |
| A47602 | Whether Infant- Baptism is to be found in the Scripture? |
| A47602 | Whether have Children Faith or no, since Faith and Repentance are Prerequisites to Baptism? |
| A47602 | Whether the Church hath a good Warrant that will justify her before God, in changing the Mode from Dipping to Sprinkling? |
| A47602 | Whether the Faith of the Parent, or Gossip on the Child''s behalf, be required of God, or will be imputed to the Child by God? |
| A47602 | Who gave her such Power? |
| A47602 | Who to ● ● you so? |
| A47602 | Why Sprinkling, and not Dipping? |
| A47602 | Why do you attempt to blind the Eyes of the unwary Reader? |
| A47602 | Why was not Christ baptized before he was thirty Years old? |
| A47602 | Will you assert and stand by it, that Baptism was a Jewish Custom, and so no pure Gospel- Institution? |
| A47602 | Would it be proper to say, He sprinkled them into Jordan? |
| A47602 | You ask what Priviledg the Children of Believers have above Unbelievers? |
| A47602 | You would think it hard, if I should ask you what sort they were that Ralph Wallis used to expose, and fill his Carts with? |
| A47602 | and whether that Alteration doth so well answer the Design of the Holy God, as that Ceremony which himself appointed? |
| A47602 | are there any Acts precedent, concomitant or consequent to this pretended Habit? |
| A47602 | are they by this Habit so much as disposed to an actual Belief without a new Master? |
| A47602 | as for Example, ● uid tu& soror facitis, 〈 … 〉& mater miseri; perimus ● ● ●& uxor qui ad ● ● stis testes estote? |
| A47602 | doth it therefore contain the other two? |
| A47602 | for''t is no where said, she that believeth, and is baptized; where have we one Instance of Female- Baptism? |
| A47602 | have you found it out? |
| A47602 | how can they prove it? |
| A47602 | how often is that Word mentioned in other Places, to signify any manner of coming to? |
| A47602 | or could it be in the Commission, and yet the Apostlet never to mention it, but contrariwise, require Faith ● ● ● all they admitted to Baptism? |
| A47602 | or on the Church of the Coritthians, because if the incestuous Person? |
| A47602 | or, if so, that it remained and was continued by Christ? |
| A47602 | was it not Baptism of Repentance for the Remission of Sins? |
| A47602 | what Revelation or Reason teaches any such thing? |
| A47602 | what doth there appear in Signification? |
| A47602 | when was thi ● ● ● aginary Faith infused into them? |
| A47602 | will this do your business? |
| A47602 | — are there not some bad Men of every Perswasion as well as good? |
| A47602 | 〈 ◊ 〉 if they believe and repent, shall they not have the same Blessings& Priviledges of the Covenant also? |
| A47585 | & c. But what injury doth it do us, who can say, Thus saith the Lord Jesus? |
| A47585 | ''t is said the Spirit caught away Philip, that the Eunuch saw him no more: what a strange thing was this that followed Baptism? |
| A47585 | * Secondly, When the Apostles prayed, the House was shaken, but''t is not so now; doth Prayer therefore cease to be a duty? |
| A47585 | * Will any say, to drink Poison, or any deadly thing, or take up Serpents, is Milk for Babes? |
| A47585 | 13. they laid their hands upon them; doth not them intend the very same they prayed for? |
| A47585 | 13.1, 2? |
| A47585 | 14.23? |
| A47585 | 6.1, 2? |
| A47585 | 6.1, 2? |
| A47585 | Again, because I have remission of Sins, and other Blessings promised in Baptism before baptized, shall I reject that Ordinance? |
| A47585 | And again that there is nothing but a faint insinuation from the Scripture to ground Laying on of hands upon? |
| A47585 | And are we not commanded to withdraw from every Brother that walks disorderly, and not after the Traditions we have received? |
| A47585 | And did not Peter and John teach it to the Saints at Samaria? |
| A47585 | And how do you come to know he did not? |
| A47585 | And how has God crowned this Service, as has been shewed, with wonderful manifestations thereof? |
| A47585 | And how have they defended it against the strongest opposition, as a glorious Institution of Jesus Christ? |
| A47585 | And is it so in very deed? |
| A47585 | And now as to some other Churches he speaks of, I grant we read not of their practising this Ordinance; yet what doth this make against it? |
| A47585 | And since these Principles are in the Apostle''s sense to be looked upon as Milk, and for Babes; what then is the Meat? |
| A47585 | Are all Prophets? |
| A47585 | Because( say they) if the Apostles were under it, they must have an Administrator; and who, say they, should that be? |
| A47585 | Besides, because God may step out of his usual way, must we do so too? |
| A47585 | But again, as Mr. Tomlinson minds, How could it be the weakness of these Hebrews, that they had need to be taught them again? |
| A47585 | But doth not this straiten and narrow the Interest of Jesus Christ? |
| A47585 | But let us examin this Scripture a little more: Have you received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? |
| A47585 | But may we not say with one of the Antients, By this rite of Imposition of Hands, God hath promised, and the Saints received the Holy Ghost? |
| A47585 | But now because this Miracle followed as the effect of that Administration then, shall we conclude it was the end of the Ordinance of Baptism? |
| A47585 | But pray where do you read that the 12 Disciples, or Apostles of Christ, were baptized? |
| A47585 | But secondly, The words are rather in themselves a Caution or Prohibition than otherwise; will he call this a full Precept? |
| A47585 | But, First,''T is not so now, shall we therefore assemble together no more? |
| A47585 | But, do they not confute themselves by thus arguing? |
| A47585 | Can it be thought that those were at that time Members of the Church, and yet so ignorant of the Holy Spirit? |
| A47585 | Did he command any thing in vain? |
| A47585 | Did he find it so clearly there? |
| A47585 | Do you think you should not need some Consequence or other, or help from some other Scripture, to prove''t is Water which is intended there? |
| A47585 | Does not this make as much every way against Laying on of hands upon Officers, as against that on baptized Believers as such? |
| A47585 | Doth it follow because we read not of their Baptism, they were not baptized? |
| A47585 | Doth not Mr. Wills in his Answer to your former Book of Baptism, charge you in much like words, as you do us here? |
| A47585 | For where do we read of their Repentance or Faith, of their being baptized, or their believing the Resurrection of the Dead, or Eternal Judgment? |
| A47585 | He has said here a great deal, and refuted us with as good Arguments as the Scots- man refuted Bellarmin: what is here more than meer Affirmations? |
| A47585 | How well have some of our Brethren written concerning Baptism? |
| A47585 | I desire to know how he would write were he to distinguish between one Hand and several, since Hands are in the Plural Number? |
| A47585 | I grant''t is easy to prove they did, yet when they demand such plain Texts for it, how do you answer them? |
| A47585 | If a bare Affirmation may be taken for a Proof in this, we are answered, and Mr. Danvers has done his business; what is here more? |
| A47585 | If the whole of Religion, or Doctrine of Godliness is comprehended in these six Principles, why should the Apostle call them first Principles? |
| A47585 | Imposition position of hands upon baptized Believers as such? |
| A47585 | In the days of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit produced miraculous Effects, but neither always, nor at all in all Men; Are all workers of Miracles? |
| A47585 | Let all Men here consider his partiality; Is this a Precept in so many words, Lay hands on all Officers? |
| A47585 | May it not be admired to see Men of such Light and Conscience be only pleased with the Theory and notional part of an Ordinance of Christ? |
| A47585 | May we not safely argue, that the Laying on of hands, which follows here in order of words, is what followed in order of practice? |
| A47585 | Mind that the Apostle is speaking only here of the first Principles of the Doctrine of Christ; are they not so called? |
| A47585 | Must not they, and them, mean all who are said to be baptized? |
| A47585 | Must we be their Enemies for telling them the truth? |
| A47585 | Nay, what Ordinance has not? |
| A47585 | Or shall we think the Apostle did not pray for the Women as well as the Men, the weaker Vessels, as well as the stronger? |
| A47585 | Ought not we to stand fast, and hold the Traditions we have been taught? |
| A47585 | Shall it not trouble our Spirits, when Persons labour to take away the Childrens Bread, or spill any of their sweet and heavenly Milk upon the ground? |
| A47585 | The Doctor''s Rule is ever to be followed, the Lord open his eyes; for how doth this clearly overthrow all his Arguments for Infant- Baptism? |
| A47585 | The Holy Spirit is promised to them that are baptized; but because some received the Spirit before baptized, needed they not be baptized? |
| A47585 | The Pedobaptists say, how can you prove by so many plain words, that Women received the Lord''s Supper? |
| A47585 | They continued in the Apostles Doctrine? |
| A47585 | This Observation for the honour of the Priesthood, did descend from the Scriptures; If you ask me where it is written? |
| A47585 | Vnto what then were ye baptized? |
| A47585 | Vnto what then were ye baptized? |
| A47585 | Was not the Hebrew Church the Church at Jerusalem? |
| A47585 | What Men can speak more fully to a Text? |
| A47585 | What can they instance in the Case, since what they mention of such and such Effects which followed, proves nothing in the least? |
| A47585 | What uncharitable thoughts do they retain of their Brethren? |
| A47585 | Where is Laying on of hands commanded by Christ? |
| A47585 | Where is that Laying on of hands taught, which he affirms to be a Principle of Christ''s Doctrine? |
| A47585 | Who told them so? |
| A47585 | Why should Mr. Danvers presume to say these Men confess the Scripture is but a probable ground, and that Tradition and Antiquity is the more certain? |
| A47585 | Why should he have a greater esteem for one than for another Institution? |
| A47585 | Why should they be offended at us for having an equal love to all the Commandments of Christ? |
| A47585 | Why should you make such a stir about an express Command? |
| A47585 | Would any judg this Good Divinity? |
| A47585 | Yet there is a further Promise made to thee, as thou art a Believer in Jesus Christ: and what can a poor Saint do without the Spirit? |
| A47585 | after Faith and Illumination, did baptize with? |
| A47585 | and Paul to the Disciples at Ephesus, and to Timothy? |
| A47585 | and is it not promised to all the Sons and Handmaids? |
| A47585 | and is not the End and Work of the Office( however called to it) one and the same? |
| A47585 | and is not this worthy of Commendation? |
| A47585 | and shall we think they did not pray for them all? |
| A47585 | and what guilt, on this Consideration, do they bring on their own Souls? |
| A47585 | and what outward Tribulations art thou( who professest the Gospel) exposed to? |
| A47585 | and who are the strong Men? |
| A47585 | are all workers of Miracles? |
| A47585 | but yet how have they opposed this other sacred Ordinance, or holy Oracle of God? |
| A47585 | do all speak with Tongues? |
| A47585 | do all speak with Tongues? |
| A47585 | had not all the like need of God''s Spirit? |
| A47585 | have all the Gift of Healing? |
| A47585 | i. e. they also are necessary only to be taught and known by all, and none concern''d in the personal practice of them? |
| A47585 | in so many plain words, Let all Believers eat the Lord''s Supper, or in Acts 2.41, 42? |
| A47585 | is it not by Inferences? |
| A47585 | may he not as well speak so concerning Repentance, Faith, and Baptism, as of this Principle? |
| A47585 | must all be baptized with the Baptism of the Spirit, and of Sufferings? |
| A47585 | must it be plainly laid down, or exprest in the Commission, or else no Divine Institution? |
| A47585 | or how could the Apostle say, he would leave them to go on to perfection? |
| A47585 | said in so many plain words, Let all Believers be baptized? |
| A47585 | tearing and dividing the Body of Christ, Will- worship, nay being under the dreadful Curse of Adding to the Word of God? |
| A47585 | that Ananias put his hands upon Saul, that he might receive his sight? |
| A47585 | the Antients who have written concerning Laying on of Hands? |
| A47585 | therefore need not I be baptized? |
| A47585 | thus speaking, Tell me, why there should be any such Confirmation, seeing no one Tittle thereof can be found in Scripture? |
| A47585 | to be baptiz''d therewith? |
| A47585 | what Temptations dost thou meet with, what Lusts and Corruptions still hast thou to mortify? |
| A47585 | why should he say then, it was for the extraordinary Gifts of the Spirit? |
| A47585 | yea, and made them obedient thereto? |
| A47448 | 1. of this Chapter; the Holy Apostle says thus, i. e. What shall we say then? |
| A47448 | 12, 14, 39,& c. But do we reprobate our Children because we Baptise them not? |
| A47448 | 12. to prove Baptism is Dipping or a figure of a burial? |
| A47448 | 3 saith he, know ye not that so many of us as were Baptised into Christ, were Baptized into his Death? |
| A47448 | 4. is not here more Covenants than one? |
| A47448 | 41. proves no such, thing: What tho` the Babe leaped in the Womb of Elizabeth, doth that prove the Babe had faith or the habit of it? |
| A47448 | Again, he saith, how can any Man know they have faith, since he never saw any sign of it, neither was he told so by any that could tell? |
| A47448 | Again, he says, This deceitful Man hides the Sense and meaning of them from the World; Doth not this saviour of great malice? |
| A47448 | Alas, they want Power to do it for themselves, and how then should they do it for others? |
| A47448 | And brought them out and said, Sirs what must I do to be saved? |
| A47448 | And if this was so, how then was the way and ordinance of God in their Holy administration, one and the same in all the Churches of the Saints? |
| A47448 | And to these customs the Apostle alludes when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin live any longer therein? |
| A47448 | And what would this Man make a new Bible, have a new rule, to tell us of things never heard of? |
| A47448 | And will any Man( says he) ye ●, will Paul ascribe all this to those that did not so much as profess the things signified? |
| A47448 | Answer, Are these Savoury expressions? |
| A47448 | Answer, Doth the Holy Ghost there refer to this change, or is Baptism a promise or a precept? |
| A47448 | Answer, Friend, may not you be found( as far as you know) to assert false things of Jesus Christ? |
| A47448 | Answer, I would know whether God is now in Covenant with Abrahams natural Seed as such; or are they not rejected? |
| A47448 | Answer, Is not the Jewish Church State dissolved, and doth not Dr. Owen tell you their Old Covenant is gone? |
| A47448 | Answer, Is this to shew your great wisdom? |
| A47448 | Answer, Must the Carnal Seed be Members of the Gospel- Church as under the Law, or is it else not a better Covenant that God has established? |
| A47448 | Answer, Sir, what reason do you give for this? |
| A47448 | Answer, Where did God expresly forbid Abraham to circumcise his Male Infants, on the 7th or 9th day, or not to circumcise Female Infants? |
| A47448 | Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the Case: and will not God one Day say, Who has required these things at your Hands? |
| A47448 | But Friend, how can you hold Communion with such persons who have a counterfeit Baptism? |
| A47448 | But Sir, are your Infants Church Members with you; doth the Church you belong unto consists of such as of the Adult? |
| A47448 | But are our Children a part of our selves and are we not believers without our Children? |
| A47448 | But sure, Sir, you mistake; your learning fails you: Will the food you eat feed your Wife? |
| A47448 | But which of all these shall we give credit to? |
| A47448 | Ca nt Men write upon controversible points without such bitterness, and reviling language? |
| A47448 | Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required? |
| A47448 | Can God be said to believe for us, or can there be faith in any subject, and yet no knowledg of the object, no nor one rational act exerted? |
| A47448 | Can a natural Church consisting of whole Parishes, Families, and Provinces, be all one with Gospel Congregational Churches of believers only? |
| A47448 | Can any of those that feed on the Flesh of Christ and drink his Blood, perish? |
| A47448 | Did ever any Man before now intimate that Baptism is the essential part of circumcision? |
| A47448 | Disprove it if you can? |
| A47448 | Do we say, the promise of the New Covenant God made to Abraham is dissolved? |
| A47448 | Doth Rantism or sprinkling bear any proportion to those great mysteries, here mentioned? |
| A47448 | Doth not that imply they went out of it? |
| A47448 | Doth she believe when you believe, because she is part of you, as here you intimate? |
| A47448 | Faith was reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness; how was it then reckoned, when he was in Circumcision, or in Uncircumcision? |
| A47448 | For''t is expresly said, Christ called that Child to him he was able to come, no doubt whom Christ called: Could an Infant do that? |
| A47448 | Friend, what Babes were they Peter Speaks of? |
| A47448 | Friend, what shall we think of you and your Papers? |
| A47448 | Hath he been as good as his word, or hath he not? |
| A47448 | How can Water, saith Mr. Charnock, an external thing, work upon the Soul physically? |
| A47448 | How can you presume to assert, that they did not go out of the House? |
| A47448 | How can you say Page 7. that they were all Baptized in his own House, when the Text speaks not any such thing? |
| A47448 | How dare Men adventure, this being so, to change Baptism from Dipping into Sprinkling, and the Subject, from an Adult Believer, to an ignorant Babe? |
| A47448 | How was it then reckoned? |
| A47448 | How will he escape, who says a Man should not Steal, if he Steals? |
| A47448 | I also ask you whether the Jewish Church that was founded upon that Old Covenant, is not gone and dissolved? |
| A47448 | I ask you whether there was no Covenant made with Abraham, that belonged to his Natural Seed as such only? |
| A47448 | I wish he knew his own Spirit and Weakness better, and not thus to admire what he hath done: Doth he think there is none can answer his Arguments? |
| A47448 | I would know since you speak only of those habits to be in Believers Infants, whether they were infused before they were born or after? |
| A47448 | If Infants as such were not included in the Covenant of Grace God made with Abraham, how can dying Infants be saved? |
| A47448 | If Infants believe they know the object of their Faith; can any believe in him, whom they know not? |
| A47448 | If any should say, why did you not cite these Assertions of Mr. B ● ● tn''s whilst he was living? |
| A47448 | If we act according to the authority of Christ in Baptism, is not our Baptism good? |
| A47448 | If we have it not here, saith Mr. Richard Baxter, where have it we? |
| A47448 | In Page 82. he saith, speaking of Mr. Collins, was there ever such Legerdemain played with the Sacred Scripture? |
| A47448 | In a Word; Can they make the Child or Children to repent and truly believe in Jesus Christ? |
| A47448 | Infants have is it their own, do they believe themselves or their Parents for them? |
| A47448 | Is here a word of the Cross, or suffering for Christ, or that we are Baptized to shew we must suffer Martyrdom with Christ? |
| A47448 | Is it not gone, are his Carnal Seed as such still in Covenant with God, or are they not with their external legal Covenant cast out? |
| A47448 | Is it not of your own making and devising? |
| A47448 | Is it safe to Scoff and make a sport when we write about Sacred things? |
| A47448 | Is it said he blessed them with spiritual blessings? |
| A47448 | Is it said they were baptized in the Jaylors House? |
| A47448 | Is not that distinction Mr. Collins speaks of, clearly laid down in these Scripture? |
| A47448 | Is nothing required say I, of Adult believers but passive Obedience? |
| A47448 | Is the Apostle speaking here of a Legal Federal Holiness? |
| A47448 | Is this to make the Holy God, a God of order, or of confusion? |
| A47448 | My Answer is, Must Infants of believers, as such, be comprehended in that Covenant, God made with Abraham, or else can they not be saved? |
| A47448 | No saving our Baptism and Churches from sinking to the bottom, which he hath so furiously attacked? |
| A47448 | Now can any of these things concern, or belong to Abraham ● Spiritual Seed, as such, that is, do they concern us Gentiles who do believe? |
| A47448 | Now can this be a Truth, since Christ who was more faithful than Moses, and delivered every thing plainly from the Father? |
| A47448 | Now will you say, if the Face or Head only of a Dead Corps was covered with Earth, and not the whole Body, that the Corps was buried? |
| A47448 | Or do we say, those Jews that believed or their Elect Infants were cast out of the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47448 | Or, that a Man should not commit Adultery, if he commits Adultery? |
| A47448 | Our Saviour shews the danger of rash Judgment; and what have ● e to do to judge our Fellow Servant, much less Churches? |
| A47448 | Page of your Book? |
| A47448 | Question, What is an Instituted Church of the Gospel? |
| A47448 | Sir, What think you now of two Covenants, and of a Covenant of peculiarity with Abraham''s Carnal Seed? |
| A47448 | Sir, why did you not answer these arguments? |
| A47448 | Such we grant are not true Ministers; but doth not he, think you, refer to such who were not trained up in School Learning? |
| A47448 | That we impose those Doctrins upon the People: Dare you falsly charge and condemn the innocent? |
| A47448 | Then I hope you will only have Elect Infants to be Baptised, and how do you know which they are, since they can make no confession of Faith? |
| A47448 | These in plain words are not forbid, are they therefore lawful? |
| A47448 | This being so, to what purpose do you make such a stir about the word Everlasting? |
| A47448 | To this Mr. Shute says, pray where do you find this distinction concerning the everlasting Covenant God made with Abraham, and his Seed? |
| A47448 | Was God the God of all Abrahams Carnal Seed as such; by way of special interest? |
| A47448 | Was it from the pain that circumcision put the Infants to, that the Apostle calls it a Yoke, that neither they nor their Fathers could bear? |
| A47448 | What Enemy could reproach us worse? |
| A47448 | What Text can be wronged worse? |
| A47448 | What can not God do? |
| A47448 | What could Goliah of Gath, or proud Rabshaketh say more? |
| A47448 | What difference is there between Baptisma( Greek) and Baptism? |
| A47448 | What is become now of your everlasting Covenant, God made with all the People of Israel or natural Seed of Abraham? |
| A47448 | What is required of Persons to be baptized? |
| A47448 | What of this? |
| A47448 | What reason hath he also to affirm, that none believed but the Jaylor himself? |
| A47448 | What, a Church under the Law and not a legal Church? |
| A47448 | When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? |
| A47448 | Where are you now with your humane invented, Lame, Decrepit Salvation,& c. Are not these Unchristian Reflections? |
| A47448 | Where did Christ forbid Infants of Believers, the Lords Supper? |
| A47448 | Where hath Christ forbid Baptizing of Turks, and Insidels, or the Children of unbelievers? |
| A47448 | Where is crossing in Baptism forbid, or Popists Salt Spittle, or Crisom or other Popish rites? |
| A47448 | Whether Children are in the Covenant of Grace, absolutely or conditionally? |
| A47448 | Whether in matters of meer positive right, such as Baptism is, we ought not to keep expresly and punctually to the revealed will of the Lawgiver? |
| A47448 | Whether our Baptism be a Truth of Christ, or a Counterfeit, will appear in our Answer; but why are we no Churches? |
| A47448 | Whether that can be an ordinance of Christ to which there is neither precept nor example? |
| A47448 | Why did this Man leave the Church of England? |
| A47448 | Why do we say that Irrational creatures are not fit Soil for the Seed of the word? |
| A47448 | Would you not have us give the true sense of the Word wherein we concur with all learned Men? |
| A47448 | Yet what is this to the Infants of Believers, as such? |
| A47448 | You confess he did not Baptize them; did he them give them habitual Faith for that blessing you plead for to be in Infants? |
| A47448 | You might have added many other Places of Scripture, where we read of Sprinkling: But what would it signify? |
| A47448 | and whether Circumcision did not belong to that Covenant, and so a Covenant of Peculiarity? |
| A47448 | are there any Acts precedent ▪ concomitant or consequent to this pretended habit? |
| A47448 | but since you know so well, pray what spiritual blessings were they? |
| A47448 | can a few drops on the Face represent that; or what representation is there in that of a Resurrection? |
| A47448 | did not God take away the first, that he might establish the second? |
| A47448 | doth not the Apostle exclude the Carnal Seed of Abraham as such; from being included in the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47448 | doth that figure o ● hold forth the burial of Christ, or that of the old Man? |
| A47448 | dying Infants in; differing in any point or part of it, from that wherein he saves Adult believers? |
| A47448 | have you any ground to run that parallel from any Text of Scripture? |
| A47448 | himself? |
| A47448 | how saith he, could this token of the Covenant be everlasting, if the Essence thereof was dissolved upon the coming in of the Gospel? |
| A47448 | how then could this be the unchangeable Covenant of Grace? |
| A47448 | how then were any dying Infants saved before Abraham''s days, or before the Covenant was made with him? |
| A47448 | i. e. in which Gentile believers, and their Seed were no ways concerned; was not Christ to come only of Abraham and his Seed, according to the flesh? |
| A47448 | if so what doth your arguing prove, nor is there a new Gospel national Church like the Church of the Jews instituted in the room of the old? |
| A47448 | if you should, would you not be laught at? |
| A47448 | is it not because they have no understanding? |
| A47448 | is that Branch of our Baptism a counterfeit also? |
| A47448 | is that in our power? |
| A47448 | is this the Spirit of Jesus Christ? |
| A47448 | know you not, that so many of us who were Baptized into Christ were Baptized into his Death, both in sign and signification? |
| A47448 | of Grace, yet how do you prove God doth regenerate Infants in the Womb or Cradle? |
| A47448 | or can Baptism bring into, or cast out of Gods election? |
| A47448 | or was it not rather because it lay them under an obligation to keep the whole Law? |
| A47448 | or will your Faith serve her? |
| A47448 | the Blessings of the Covenant of Grace made with the Root Abraham; but what is this to our Carnal Seed as such? |
| A47448 | the Old House and Old legal Right of Church- membership is overturned and r ● oted out for ever? |
| A47448 | tho''''t is thus in the Adult, must this Spirit of Faith or the Habit of Faith be therefore in Infants of Relievers also? |
| A47448 | what Covenant is that which the Apostle says, is took away and difanulled? |
| A47448 | where do you find any command for the Infant Seed of believers, to stay till they are Adult, to be Baptized? |
| A47448 | ● ● y, ● ● w 〈 ◊ 〉 on know but that all Infants dying in Infancy may be elected? |
| A47576 | ''T is said, What Nation is there so great, that hath Statutes and Judgments so righteous, as this Law which is set before you this Day? |
| A47576 | ( as Mr. Sprint argues) Why on this Day? |
| A47576 | * And do not such as affirm otherwise, strangely Judaize? |
| A47576 | 1. where the incestuous Person is condemned for marrying his Father''s Wife? |
| A47576 | 2. put that in after the same manner, that ● s not indeed done till his time, when God gave 〈 ◊ 〉 the Commandment of the Sabbath? |
| A47576 | 9. upon the same foot of account, There remaineth 〈 ◊ 〉 Rest( i. e. a day of Rest) to the People of God? |
| A47576 | And can any rationally judg, that he did not then command them which day in seven he would have observed as a Day of Rest and solemn Worship? |
| A47576 | And can one simple moral Precept have more Sanctity in it than another? |
| A47576 | And doth not the holy God require our utmost care and diligence in his Work and Service? |
| A47576 | And hath God set a time to every thing, and for every Purpose and Work; and yet set no particular time for his Worship? |
| A47576 | And if those prove Saturday to be the Jewish Sabbath, why should not these as well prove Sunday to be the Lord''s- day? |
| A47576 | And ought not this duly to be considered? |
| A47576 | And shall a blur''d Copy be deem''d more perfect than that, or the muddy Stream be clearer than the Chrystal Fountain? |
| A47576 | And that this is the Day which the Lord hath made: How made? |
| A47576 | And therefore why should any other Lord''s Day be dreamed of? |
| A47576 | And what day have we cause to rejoice in, keep and observe like this day? |
| A47576 | And what means the coming of the Rulers of the Congregation to Moses to consult him as on an unusual and unknown matter? |
| A47576 | And what signifies their Objection, There is no express Command to observe this Day? |
| A47576 | And when the day of Pentecost was fully come; fully come, doth not that denote they waited for it? |
| A47576 | And where is he now, who said, none can prove one whole first Day was kept in religious Worship in all the New Testament? |
| A47576 | And why do the Annotators apply that to Sacrifices? |
| A47576 | And why if circumcised? |
| A47576 | And why may not they call the Lord''s Supper, and the Lord''s Table so, with respect to God the Creator, or Christ as Creator? |
| A47576 | And''t is known to have been the common Question put to the Christians by the Pagans, Dost thou observe the Lord''s- day? |
| A47576 | Are all these Hypocrites, unrenewed, unsanctified ones? |
| A47576 | Are not we guilty of absolute Immorality, i. e. the literal breach of one Precept of the first Table? |
| A47576 | As to the minor Proposition; can any suppose, that if the Gentiles had been under Moses''s Law, yet they should not be judged by it? |
| A47576 | Because God sanctified it, must Adam ● nctify it or keep it holy without a Com ● ● and? |
| A47576 | Because God sanctified 〈 ◊ 〉 Priest, may others do so too? |
| A47576 | Besides, doth Christ help us to fulfil the whole Law perfectly? |
| A47576 | Besides, how many faithful Witnesses of late years has the Lord raised up to bear Testimony against it? |
| A47576 | Besides, is it not great folly for any to say this, since the Law in Adam''s Heart was the original? |
| A47576 | But can any man think it is meant of any day? |
| A47576 | But do not all Divines say that the Moral Law is of perpetual Obligation? |
| A47576 | But do not most say, that the Decalogue written in Stone is the Moral Law, and of perpetual Obligation? |
| A47576 | But since the Jewish seventh Day was a Sign and a Shadow, what was it a Sign and Shadow of? |
| A47576 | But still it is enquired, what was it a Sign of? |
| A47576 | But was the Day of Judgment then come, or hath it yet been? |
| A47576 | But were they not as zealous for Circumcision also? |
| A47576 | But what are such things to a simple moral Precept, both materially and formally one of the Ten Commandments, as they affirm their Sabbath is? |
| A47576 | But what say some? |
| A47576 | But when any came to plead for it as a Moral Duty, or as necessary to Salvation, how sharp was he with them? |
| A47576 | But where do we read in the New Testament that it is unlawful for a Man to marry his own Sister? |
| A47576 | But where is there a Divine appointment of the first Day of the Week; and by whom was it required? |
| A47576 | But why must Paul break the Bread to them? |
| A47576 | Can any pretended necessity make it lawful to worship another God, or prophane his Name, or steal, murder, or commit Adultery? |
| A47576 | Can any think that Jehovah would punish any Person for neglecting or violating an Humane Tradition, or an Ordinance of Man? |
| A47576 | Can any think that the old Sabbath still remains, which was the sign of the old Covenant? |
| A47576 | Can they, or we have Communion with such as bow down to a graven Image, or profane the holy Name of God, or are guilty of Murder,& c.? |
| A47576 | Could he tell how long God was in making the Heavens and the Earth? |
| A47576 | Did God so sanctify them, or were they spiritually sanctified? |
| A47576 | Did God''s finishing his Work call for a day of remembrance, and doth not Christ''s finishing his Work call for the same? |
| A47576 | Do Men require the whole Day, and with the greatest care and diligence, to do their Work? |
| A47576 | Do not these men, like the Jews, go about to establish their own Righteousness? |
| A47576 | Doth God do thus under the New Covenant? |
| A47576 | Doth Perfection admit of any ● urther degree of Holiness, or require more ● anctity on that day than any other? |
| A47576 | Doth he not establish the Covenant of Works and Justification by the Law? |
| A47576 | Doth not the Dignity and Glory of the Lawgiver add to the Glory of the Law given? |
| A47576 | Fifthly, Take what a learned Man saith: If Adam was bound to keep the Sabbath, I demand by what Law? |
| A47576 | For doth the Light of Nature teach a Man that it is a shame to wear long Hair, and not teach him it is a shame to marry his own Sister? |
| A47576 | For has not Redemption- work the preference of Creation- work? |
| A47576 | For tho it is granted that a true Christian may be guilty in some sense of an Immoral Evil, and who is not? |
| A47576 | For who will say, that Ordinance upon an extraordinary occasion may not be administred on another day of the week? |
| A47576 | Has the Holy Ghost left this on record for no purpose? |
| A47576 | He answers this Question, Do not Divines say the Decalogue written in Stone is the Moral Law, and of perpetual Obligation? |
| A47576 | He hath given you the Sabbath; Doth not ● his imply he had not given it to any before? |
| A47576 | How can it be declared( or proved) that the Lord himself imposed this Name? |
| A47576 | How early are they at their Devotion on this day, as well as on other days of the Week? |
| A47576 | How far do the Papists for Zeal in their false Religion out- do many who would be thought the most refined Protestants? |
| A47576 | How far then are we bound to keep the Law? |
| A47576 | How made? |
| A47576 | How often doth God by Moses, and other of his Servants, declare that the Sabbath was given to Israel? |
| A47576 | How vain as well as sinful is it to go about to contradict God''s Word? |
| A47576 | How will it be made good that this Name imports a Sabbath? |
| A47576 | I know some others have cryed, Where is laying on of hands either upon Elders, or baptized Believers as such commanded? |
| A47576 | If any should say, How can they know it was unlawful for a Man to marry his own Sister? |
| A47576 | If it be thus, what think you of them that observe this Sabbath? |
| A47576 | If so, doth not what ● ey say argue some Imperfection attending 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A47576 | If the old Sabbath was a sign of that of which you say, what was it a Type or Shadow of? |
| A47576 | Is a fulfilling the Law a destroying it? |
| A47576 | Is it not Sacrilege to rob God of his Day( for any external advantage) which he hath dedicated and set apart for his own Worship? |
| A47576 | Is it not because the one is a moral Law proceeding from God''s Nature, and the other but merely positive and Typical, and so arbitrary? |
| A47576 | Is it said therefore, Thou Adam shalt ● eep this Day as a Sabbath? |
| A47576 | Is it wisdom to advise with those only that are for it, and not with such also as are directly against it? |
| A47576 | Is not Christ a more glorious Person than Moses? |
| A47576 | Is not that a dangerous Error that leads Men to ratify or sign the Covenant of Works, which binds them to keep the whole Law? |
| A47576 | Is not that dangerous which caused Paul to fear he had bestowed on the Persons he speaks of, Labor in vain? |
| A47576 | Is not this as much as that at the beginning the Lord blessed and sanctified the seventh day? |
| A47576 | It is called the Feast of Pentecost, because it was ever kept the fiftieth day; the fiftieth, ● ow reckoned? |
| A47576 | Miracles also are call''d Signs; and God''s People are set as Signs and Wonders: but what of this? |
| A47576 | Moreover, perhaps some would be for no day at all; and what then would become of the publick and private Worship of God? |
| A47576 | Must we 〈 ◊ 〉 to Moses to know how Christ is to govern ● s Church, or take any Law from him? |
| A47576 | My Brethren, what comfort is here to you that enter into this Rest? |
| A47576 | Now God required the tenth of their Increase: but will any Man say, God intended any one precise tenth? |
| A47576 | Now can it be imagin''d they should not have fail''d in this case, or that God would overlook or take no notice of it? |
| A47576 | Now can the precise seventh day be Adam''s Duty to keep before it was sanctified to that end? |
| A47576 | Now if so, why need he be told he must keep the Seventh- day? |
| A47576 | Now if so, would it not follow that Adam was not perfect in Innocency? |
| A47576 | Now is not this our Lord Jesus Christ? |
| A47576 | Now were any of the Idolatrous Days among the Heathen, shadows of things to come, or of Christ? |
| A47576 | Now what is a Graven Image but an Idol? |
| A47576 | Now when a Covenant is abolished( as the old Covenant is) will any dare to plead for the sign of it, which obliges them to keep the whole Law? |
| A47576 | O how doth it magnify the Law, to see Godman thus conform to it, and die to bear the Penalty thereof for us? |
| A47576 | Of what nature are works of Mercy? |
| A47576 | Or could there be the same need of a Sabbath to both? |
| A47576 | Or, might not Paul( as some of us do) preach twice himself on that day, and they refresh themselves about the middle of the day? |
| A47576 | Others may say, Who made thee a Ruler over us, or a Legislator, or deputed Officer from God to us? |
| A47576 | Paul says, there is one God, and one Mediator: Doth not this imply that there is but one God, and but one Mediator? |
| A47576 | Persecution must not hinder us in our Obedience to God; what, disown God, or his Day of Worship, desert his holy Sabbath? |
| A47576 | Saith the other, Had you the Power of the Civil Magistracy in your hand, and should I break your Sabbath, what would you do with me? |
| A47576 | So he calls that Feast Pentecost, and Circumcision by its own Name; must we therefore keep Pentecost, and be circumcised? |
| A47576 | So what signifies the Shadow of Rest, to the true Antitypical Sabbath of Rest which we have in Christ? |
| A47576 | Some after that were zealous for Circumcision,& c. and is that an Argument that Circumcision is our Duty? |
| A47576 | Take away the Penalty of a Law, and what is become of that Law? |
| A47576 | Tell me ye that desire to be under the Law, do you hear the Law? |
| A47576 | The Jewish Rites were called the Elements of the World; for does not Paul say, We when Children were in bondage under the Elements of the World? |
| A47576 | The Shadow seems glorious till the Substance comes; but what Glory appears in it then? |
| A47576 | The Woman was made for Man also, but must every man have a Wife therefore? |
| A47576 | Therefore to answer that Question, what was the Jewish Sabbath a sign of? |
| A47576 | This is the plain Scripture- account; and who can but observe the Wisdom of God in ordering the matter thus? |
| A47576 | To which let me add, How can they have Communion with us, if they consider and observe the Consequences of their Principle? |
| A47576 | Upon this very account Paul shews that the Jews had the advantage of all other People; What advantage then hath the Jew? |
| A47576 | Was it not because they observ''d Jewish Days, laying stress on those things? |
| A47576 | Was not this first Day so kept, and established for us to observe and keep from morning to evening? |
| A47576 | Well what of this? |
| A47576 | Well, and what saith the Holy Ghost? |
| A47576 | Well, and what then? |
| A47576 | Were the Heathen Gentiles, or Believing Gentiles, under that ministration of the Legal Covenant given by Moses to Israel? |
| A47576 | Were you ever by this Law led to know( or reproved for not observing) the Seventh- day Sabbath? |
| A47576 | What Heathenish Nation kept the seventh, or the fiftieth Year as a Sabbath? |
| A47576 | What Popish Doctrin is worse? |
| A47576 | What had he to do, but to adore, and contemplate the Perfections of his bountiful Creator? |
| A47576 | What influence had John upon him in declaring this Name? |
| A47576 | What is God''s Law but a Transcript, or a gracious Impression of his holy Nature, or his Divine Image stampt on our Souls? |
| A47576 | What is more plainly expressed? |
| A47576 | What is now become of Mr. Tillam''s Flourish, who insults over such as call the Seventh- day Sabbath a sign? |
| A47576 | What is the Glory of the Moon when the Sun appears and shines forth splendidly? |
| A47576 | What think you of what Dr. White † relates in his Treatise of the Sabbath, concerning some Zealots in his time about sixty years ago? |
| A47576 | What tho it be said after eight days? |
| A47576 | What was the Error they were corrupted with? |
| A47576 | What will you say? |
| A47576 | What, a Sabbath instituted, and no Sabbath- Service appointed on that day? |
| A47576 | What, is Paul so thoughtful of eating and drinking, to refresh his Body with them, as to stay seven days for that? |
| A47576 | What, without the Lord''s Commission or Command? |
| A47576 | Where do they read that an Image made of Bread is forbid in Moses''s Law? |
| A47576 | Where is the general Day of the Gospel called a Day made? |
| A47576 | Wherefore have you not fulfilled your Task in making of Brick, both yesterday and to day, as heretofore? |
| A47576 | Who I, said he, what kill my Brother? |
| A47576 | Who are you now that will introduce another Lawgiver, a Co- partner, or a Co- rival with Christ, to partake of part of his Honour? |
| A47576 | Why a more excellent Law? |
| A47576 | Why not on the Sabbath- day? |
| A47576 | Why preaching, why conversion, and administration of the Sacraments? |
| A47576 | Why should Mr. Brabourn imagin that this day might be some superstitious Easter- day, which happens once a year? |
| A47576 | Why so? |
| A47576 | Why the Holy Ghost? |
| A47576 | Why the Promise of Christ accomplished all on this Day? |
| A47576 | Why, not in the Winter? |
| A47576 | Would the Holy Ghost thus leave the Generation of the Godly under Sin, and such Ignorance( think you) were this a moral Duty? |
| A47576 | and could he have done it better on one day than another? |
| A47576 | as a moral D ● ty, or of necessity to a holy Life? |
| A47576 | but he also blessed and sanc ● ● fied it: what tho? |
| A47576 | by the Law written in his Heart? |
| A47576 | from the morrow after the ● abbath( that is, the first day of the week) ● ut what mark had they to know their morrow 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A47576 | is it not abrogated? |
| A47576 | is it not also said that Christ after three days should rise again? |
| A47576 | it is a day of the Lord''s making; and will he[ that is Tillam] make nothing of that? |
| A47576 | nay, that do not only live in the literal breach of this moral Precept( as they call it) but teach men so to do? |
| A47576 | or if he forbear so to do, would he not be shamefully guilty of great Sin, and of their Blood also? |
| A47576 | or why must that Precept come under express Institution, and none of the rest? |
| A47576 | was he, or that Rest he hath brought in, the Antitype of them? |
| A47576 | what can a day( made long before in respect of Creation) be stiled the day which the Lord hath made then in respect to a Divine Institution? |
| A47576 | — Chrysostom says, What means Paul''s hastning to this Feast? |
| A47576 | — Why should any longer doubt in this matter? |
| A47576 | — Will you say the Apostles, or the Church might do it? |
| A47607 | & whence the breath That strikes Blasphemers with a sudden Death? |
| A47607 | ''T is strange, say some, what Reason should engage Them to make Thee the Object of their Rage? |
| A47607 | ( What one receives, goes out at t''other Ear) How many loyter in their Christian Race, Profusely squandering the day of Grace? |
| A47607 | Am I not armed with the Power Of all the Earth? |
| A47607 | Among Apostles some dissentions were; But did they therefore persecute each other? |
| A47607 | And all your Joys, turn to a mourning Theme? |
| A47607 | And bear The Soveraign Rule? |
| A47607 | And the Beast grow steady In his proud Seat? |
| A47607 | And weep thy Downfal in sad Elegies? |
| A47607 | And why must such as disallow those Tricks, Be branded as the vilest Schismaticks? |
| A47607 | Are all my Friends withdrawn? |
| A47607 | Are not some Pastors careless to provide A Word in Season, for the Flocks they guide? |
| A47607 | Are they in Covenant with Thee? |
| A47607 | Are they more like to bless the World below; Then thy Poor Sion? |
| A47607 | Are you not in the depth of bitterness, Because of Sion and her sore distress? |
| A47607 | Are you not pierced to the very heart? |
| A47607 | But are there still more grievances behind? |
| A47607 | But can such Fancies challenge an abode Within your Hearts, to Dis- believe to GOD? |
| A47607 | But if the Crown be ravisht from thy Head, And Romish Clouds thy Lustre overspread, What heart so brawny, but thy doleful Cry Must move to pity? |
| A47607 | But if they''re disanul''d, who did reveal Their Abrogation to these bold Pretenders? |
| A47607 | But what''s this Beast, of whom thou dost complain? |
| A47607 | But why should Pride, that vile Abomination, Be found in Saints? |
| A47607 | But why, O Sion, since th ● art belov''d Of Heavens Supream, art thou so sadly mov''d? |
| A47607 | But, what approaches? |
| A47607 | Can English Protestants, who do profess To serve one God in Truth and Holiness, Slight all my Wishes, and Requests despise? |
| A47607 | Can Heavens great Artillery so long Forbear the Treasons of a mortal Tongue? |
| A47607 | Can I, when Gap- defenders fall asleep, But like old Isr''el, for my Prophets weep? |
| A47607 | Can Reason brag that Causes Natural Could raise the Dead? |
| A47607 | Can Riches, Honours, fading Pleasures give The things I want, whilst on the Earth I live? |
| A47607 | Can Sion chuse but send out mournful Crys? |
| A47607 | Can this vast Comet be Ought but the Prologue of Calamity? |
| A47607 | Can you trust so grand a Work to that Moment of Anguish? |
| A47607 | Canst thou expect they''l serve thee better Now? |
| A47607 | Could she be a faithfull City and a Harlot too? |
| A47607 | Did Babylon God''s Worship over- throw, Set up an Idol, and command to Bow? |
| A47607 | Did Babylon make Prophets drink their Tears, Shake Kingdoms, and fill Peoples hearts with fears? |
| A47607 | Did Babylon make Salem desolate? |
| A47607 | Did Babylon poor Israel Invade? |
| A47607 | Did Babylon the Prophets bear away ● nto Captivity, and make a prey Of all the Treasure that her hand could find? |
| A47607 | Did Babylon the burning Work begin? |
| A47607 | Do not your Eyes like to a Fountain stream? |
| A47607 | Do''st think a gloomy interposing Cloud, From Gods all- searching Eye can be thy shroud? |
| A47607 | Do''st thou not see how filthy Drunkenness Does raign in City, and in Villages? |
| A47607 | Does it portend that Antichrist shall break In pieces, striving to destroy the Weak Remains that on this blessed Name do Call? |
| A47607 | Does not your nightly rest from you depart? |
| A47607 | Does this Amazing Prodigy betoken That Rampant Babel shall be quickly broken? |

| A47607 | Great Monarchs Me their Mistriss call: How can I fall, when such a Prop Supports, as my Lord God the POPE? |
| A47607 | Had Babylon a great and peerless King? |
| A47607 | Hast thou not try''d already? |
| A47607 | Have I not been most precious in thy sight? |

| A47407 | And have we not for this 12 or 14 Years sung in mixt Assemblies, on Days of Thanksgiving, and never any offended at it, as ever I heard? |
| A47407 | And is any merry? |
| A47407 | And is not every Word of God alike pure and righteous, and equally to be esteemed? |
| A47407 | And is not that a piece of Art as well as Singing? |
| A47407 | And may not Prayer be carnally performed too, as well as Singing? |
| A47407 | And pray, that they might be filled with the Fruits of Righteousness? |
| A47407 | And that in Promises and Prophecies it was preached to Abraham? |

| A47407 | And why not, say I, Preaching the Word, Baptism, and Breaking of Bread also? |
| A47407 | And why then did David 〈 ◊ 〉 upon all Men on Earth to sing and praise God? |
| A47407 | And would you not have ● ny to do this but the Saints? |
| A47407 | And 〈 ◊ 〉 not the hundred and forty four thousand 〈 ◊ 〉 a new Song under Antichrist''s Reign? |
| A47407 | And, pray, why must ordinary praising of God be now admitted? |
| A47407 | Ar ● you Infallible? |
| A47407 | Are not all Creatures called upon to sing and praise their Creator? |

| A47407 | Are they against the Singing of David''s Psalms and Hymns, do ye say? |
| A47407 | Away, ● ● ith one, with your carnal and human preaching,''t is a Form invented and done by Art, will you call this Gospel- preaching? |
| A47407 | Besides, can you find any ground from God''s Word, that will warrant you to separate your selves from the Church upon this account? |
| A47407 | Besides, did not the Church agree to sing only after Sermon, and when Prayer was ended? |
| A47407 | Brother, who do you encounter with now? |
| A47407 | But how? |
| A47407 | But is it unlawful to premeditate what we design to ask of God in Prayer? |
| A47407 | But must they needs be therefore carnal and humane Forms which appertain unto them? |
| A47407 | But now will you say we have not the Spirit of Christ in composing the Hymn which is part of Christ''s Word? |
| A47407 | But ought not we to labour to restore it 〈 ◊ 〉 its primitive Practice( as in other Ordinances through Grace, we have been helped to do?) |
| A47407 | But say some, Did not the Lord''s People of Old in their Captivity, say, How can we sing one of the Lord''s Songs in a strange Land? |
| A47407 | But say you, If we should say such a vocal Singing together is for a Teaching, then where are the Hearers, if all be Teachers? |
| A47407 | But some may object, Doth not James only injoin Singing of Psalms, when People are merry, or find great cause of inward Joy in the Lord? |
| A47407 | But some may say, he doth not bid every one of them to break Bread; how doth it follow every Member ought so to do? |
| A47407 | But the Question is, Whether one Person only, or the whole Church, should sing together with united Voices? |
| A47407 | But to close all, Are not David''s Psalms part of Spiritual Worship? |
| A47407 | But what ground is there for the Church to joyn in singing of Psalms,& c. with Vnbelievers? |
| A47407 | But what ground is there to sing thus in the Church before or after Sermon? |
| A47407 | But what is this to the purpose? |
| A47407 | But why shall any call Singing a low or carnal thing? |
| A47407 | But will your utter neglect of it upon this pretended Ignorance excuse you before the Lord? |
| A47407 | But, pray, what Call has he to rebuke me, after this publick manner, especially before the whole World? |
| A47407 | But, pray, what Ordinance hath not been corrupted and the purity of it( as practised in the Primitive Time) lost? |
| A47407 | Can any be so weak as to think it was given to be imployed to sing any other Songs, but such as are sacred and divine? |
| A47407 | Can any sober Christian think he hath done well to publish the Private Affairs of a Particular Church to the whole World? |
| A47407 | Canst thou bind the sweet Influences of the Pleiades? |
| A47407 | Did any one of you, at that time say, if we did proceed to sing at such times, you could not have Communion with us? |
| A47407 | Did not Christ and his Disciples sing, just 〈 ◊ 〉 the most dismal Time of Sorrow and 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A47407 | Did not Christ sing an Hymn after th ● Supper? |
| A47407 | Do but read the Text, Is any among you afflicted? |
| A47407 | Do not the Saints now rejoice in hope of the Glory of God, as well as they did then? |
| A47407 | Doth it follow, because they can not 〈 ◊ 〉, nor praise God as they ought, they ought 〈 ◊ 〉 to pray nor praise God at all? |
| A47407 | Doth not the Apostle pray that God would ● ill all the Saints with Joy and Peace? |
| A47407 | Doth not the Apostle tell us, That unto them( that is, to Israel) the Gospel was preached, as well as unto us? |
| A47407 | Have not Believers now the Holy Spirit, as well as they had it then, though not in such an extraordinary manner? |
| A47407 | How absurd would it be to affirm either? |
| A47407 | How hath our Practice of baptizing Believers,& c. been branded with the reproachful Name of Error? |
| A47407 | How is it Brethren? |
| A47407 | How is it then, Brethren? |
| A47407 | How rarely and ● egantly do some Men express themselves to ● ● ify others, by improving their natural Parts? |
| A47407 | How shall they use a legal and Typical Rite, that only appertained to the Jews and Levites, in that glorious state of the Church? |
| A47407 | I cried to the Lord with my Voice: Shall a Man detract from his meaning, and say( saith Mr. Cotton) he cried to God only with his Heart? |
| A47407 | I have answered this twice already 〈 ◊ 〉 What though we have Sorrow and Afflictions, 〈 ◊ 〉 God lose his Praises therefore? |
| A47407 | I know it is objected, Hath not God given to the Tongue a faculty to laugh as well as to sing? |
| A47407 | If any of you should say, How can we be satisfied to have Communion with the Church, when we believe''t is an Innovation? |
| A47407 | If any should object, How can Vnbelievers joyn with the Saints in singing, if this be so? |
| A47407 | If it had not been for Art and Learning, how should we have come to the knowledg of the Scriptures, they being locked up from us in unknown Tongues? |
| A47407 | If the Trumpet gives an uncertain Sound, who shall prepare himself to the Battel? |
| A47407 | Is any afflicted? |
| A47407 | Is any afflicted? |
| A47407 | Is any merry? |
| A47407 | Is any merry? |
| A47407 | Is any 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A47407 | Is it absurd and irrational for us to make the Moral Law, or Light of Nature, a Rule to exert the Worship of God? |
| A47407 | Is not Hearing the Word of God preached, and Publick Prayer, as Sacred Ordinances of Gospel- Worship, 〈 ◊ 〉 Singing? |
| A47407 | Is not Reading of God''s Word an Ordinance of the Gospel, and part of God''s Worship? |
| A47407 | Is not the Essence of Preaching in our Spirits, as much as the Essence of Singing is there? |
| A47407 | Is not this to darken Counsel with words without Knowledg? |
| A47407 | Is there any Church that is yet arrived to such a perfection of Knowledg, that they need not the discovery of any Truth but what they have received? |
| A47407 | Let it be with inward Joy; remember it is your Duty to rejoice evermore, and what then can hinder your Singing God''s Praises at any time? |
| A47407 | May you not as well say they are of no use to us? |
| A47407 | Must not the Children have their Bread, because Strangers will get some of it? |
| A47407 | Must we tell them they must not put words into our Mouths, we must pray as the Spirit moves us, and ca n''t tell whether we shall pray for them or no? |
| A47407 | My Portion is, I perceive, to undergo hard Censures from Men; but''t is no more than my Blessed Master met with; and what am I that I should complain? |
| A47407 | Nay, have they not cause to praise God for Christ and the Gospel? |
| A47407 | Nay, may they not sing his Praises for 〈 ◊ 〉, and the Gospel, and for the Means of 〈 ◊ 〉 Conversion? |
| A47407 | Nor would the Unbeliever, to hear a Congregation sing together, say, Are they not mad? |
| A47407 | Now because all legal Forms are gone, must all Gospel and Spiritual Forms go too? |
| A47407 | Now this being so, what is become of Mr. Marlow''s Essence of Singing? |
| A47407 | Now what is this to your purpose? |
| A47407 | Ought not all Men on Earth to pray, tho till they have Faith their Prayers are not accepted of God? |
| A47407 | Prayer without the bodily Organs; why may not the Spirit or Heart perform Singing too? |
| A47407 | Sh ● ● any Men now dare to say, There are no P ● ● cedents for Singing Psalms and Hymns,& c. 〈 ◊ 〉 the New Testament? |
| A47407 | Shall they have a new Bible for those Times? |
| A47407 | Shall they sing to see the good Will of God towards us, and shall we be dumb? |
| A47407 | Shall we not have the pure Food of God ● Word, because Antichrist hath put Poison 〈 ◊ 〉 theirs? |
| A47407 | Should one alone sing in the midst of the Congregation, like a Ballad- Singer, what Word of God is there to justify any such Practice? |
| A47407 | Singing is a piece of Art; Who can 〈 ◊ 〉 if he be not taught, so that he may do it artifically? |
| A47407 | The second scruple about Singers is, saith he, whether Women may sing as well as Men? |
| A47407 | There is nothing, I tell you again, without its Form: Is not the reading of God''s Word a formal thing? |
| A47407 | These things being so, What Authority have you to say our Saviour and his Disciples did not sing? |
| A47407 | What Reason do you give for this? |
| A47407 | What do you mean? |
| A47407 | What ground hath the Church to pray with Unbelievers? |
| A47407 | What is done more now? |
| A47407 | What then, must not we sing Psalms in the Gospel- days, with Grace in our Hearts to the Lord? |
| A47407 | What think you of those places of the Prophets and Psalms, that speak of Christ as they are mentioned and recited in the New Testament? |
| A47407 | What though they mistake in Baptism, doth it therefore follow they must needs mistake here too? |
| A47407 | What was it God enjoined on them, but a cessation from all external Labour or Work? |
| A47407 | What was this which David calls his Glory? |
| A47407 | What will you sing your Prayers? |
| A47407 | Where do we read of singing in all the Scripture without a Voice? |
| A47407 | Where is the Man that saith the Word will bear a praising of God without Singing? |
| A47407 | Where wast thou when I laid the Foundation of the Earth? |
| A47407 | Who shall not fear that, and glorify thy Name, O Lord? |
| A47407 | Whose Work is it thus to do, but the Devil''s? |
| A47407 | Why is that then a Vocal Singing? |
| A47407 | Why may they not be wrong, and off the Rule in their Preaching and Praying and all else they do? |
| A47407 | Why must not Spiritual Songs be allowed, as well as Psalms and Hymns? |
| A47407 | Why 〈 ◊ 〉 they suffered to hear the Gospel preached? |
| A47407 | Will you lie, and express that with your Lips to God, which you have not in your Hearts? |
| A47407 | Will you say Very Tightly Bound we must not sing Psalms, when the Churche ● are exhorted so to do? |
| A47407 | Will you take upon you to countermand God''s holy Precept? |
| A47407 | Would not these be silly Objections? |
| A47407 | You may ask whether they are to praise God as well, and demand a word of Institution for their Breaking of Bread with the Church? |
| A47407 | and Paul and Silas sung when in 〈 ◊ 〉, and their Feet were in the Stocks? |
| A47407 | and are not the Churches exhorted to sing them? |
| A47407 | and have not Unbelievers cause to praise God, nay, sing his Praise for the Mercies and Blessings God doth bestow upon them? |
| A47407 | and how grievous is it to all truly Godly Ones, and grateful to the Enemies of our Sacred Profession? |
| A47407 | and must not People learn to read? |
| A47407 | and must not weak Christians 〈 ◊ 〉 this as well as strong, because they have no ● arrived to the Faith of Assurance? |
| A47407 | and they that wait at the Altar, partake of the Altar? |
| A47407 | and what a reproach doth it bring upon the Truth? |
| A47407 | and whether the Spirit of God doth not, may not assist God''s Servants now in precomposed Hymns, as he did of old? |
| A47407 | and yet dare you say that is no Duty to be performed in the Church? |
| A47407 | and, is it their Duty to laugh? |
| A47407 | are they not Gospel as well as any thing ye find therein taught or laid down anew? |
| A47407 | but what doth your arguing reprove? |
| A47407 | can People read unless they are learned? |
| A47407 | can sin be no where but in the Heart, because it is there? |
| A47407 | has Christ not been faithful then( who is the Son over his own House) in declaring the manner how we should sing? |
| A47407 | hath he not left us a Pattern, or an Example himself? |
| A47407 | he himself with his Disciples? |
| A47407 | must they needs know every Truth of Christ? |
| A47407 | nay, what not? |
| A47407 | or can a thing be where its Being or Essence is not? |
| A47407 | or was their assembling together so to do, no Rule for us to perform that great religious Duty? |
| A47407 | or what is singing? |
| A47407 | or, what 〈 … 〉 any 〈 ◊ 〉 or Godly Christian to believe you, if you so boldly affirm it? |
| A47407 | ought you not to do it as well as you can? |
| A47407 | the consideration of Redeeming and Regenerating Grace, though sometimes to such degrees, they do not find that liveliness in their Spirits to do it? |
| A47407 | the great God of Heaven and Earth? |
| A47407 | this is strange Doctrine What is Singing to God, but to celebrate 〈 ◊ 〉 Praises? |
| A47407 | which if you had, I perceive the Church, nay every one of us who had born our Burden for many Years, would have born it a little longer? |
| A47407 | — Now if thus it be, then where is the Spirit of Singing? |
| A47535 | ''t is a positive Law, we must go to the Pleasure, and Will, and Design of the Law- maker: what may not Men infer after this sort? |
| A47535 | ( instead of saying, Who can forbid Water?) |
| A47535 | ( when they asked what they should do?) |
| A47535 | 17. and that he thanked God he baptized no more of them than Crispus and Gaius, and the Houshold of Stephanus? |
| A47535 | 2. or by preaching the Word of Christ? |
| A47535 | 28. or act and do contrary thereto, who requires all Disciples to be baptized? |
| A47535 | 32, 34. these two Verses being a Key to the 33d Verse,( saith he) and this Houshold a Key to all the other? |
| A47535 | And are not Males and Femals all o ● ● in Christ Jesus? |
| A47535 | And are there not many very learned Men who are against baptizing them? |
| A47535 | And do you not think that many of the Females of Abraham''s off- spring were in that Covenant of Grace? |
| A47535 | And doth not these things hinder that glorious Reformation we all long for, and encourage Papists? |
| A47535 | And that Baptism is absolutely necessary to Church- Communion, or an initiating Ordinance? |
| A47535 | And why should a Tradition of the Antichristian State, be so zealously defended? |
| A47535 | And, were they not to teach the same Doctrine, and administer the same Ordinances alike where- ever they come? |
| A47535 | Aquinas asserts, which is intailed upon all within the pale thereof? |
| A47535 | Are Infants capable thus to covenant with God? |
| A47535 | Are not Sureties in Baptism a meer human Invention? |
| A47535 | Are not Women as well as Men, comprehended and meant in those places as well as Men, tho not expressed? |
| A47535 | Are they not both expresly given forth and joined together by our Saviour in this his last and great Commission? |
| A47535 | As if he had said, if there be no Resurrection, Why are we baptized? |
| A47535 | Ay, this is good News indeed, they might say; But what will become of our Children, our Off- spring? |
| A47535 | BVT what harm is there in Baptizing of Children? |
| A47535 | Besides, are Bells forbidden to be baptized? |
| A47535 | Besides, doth not our Saviour plainly intimate, that John''s Baptism was directly from Heaven, and not of Men? |
| A47535 | Besides, were not the Pharisees and Lawyers learned Men, who rejected the Counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized? |
| A47535 | But all this while, who has required any thing of this at our Hands? |
| A47535 | But are they uncapable because there is no word of Institution, nothing from the Mouth of Christ or his Apostles, to justifie such a Practice? |
| A47535 | But do you not acknowledg Baptism to signify our being washed in the Blood of Christ? |
| A47535 | But does not Baptism come in the room of Circumcision, the one being a Figure of the other? |
| A47535 | But doth not Christ say, that the Doctrine he taught, he received from the Father who sent him? |
| A47535 | But had not John an express Commission to baptize? |
| A47535 | But how dare any presume to Rantize a Babe that is uncapable to be taught or made a Disciple by teaching? |
| A47535 | But how does it appear that Infants are Believers in any sense? |
| A47535 | But since the practice of Baptism in Water was lost in the Apostacy, how could it be restored again without a new Mission? |
| A47535 | But whereas you say, Baptism was always done by dipping the Body all over in Water, how can that be, since some were baptized in Houses? |
| A47535 | But why are they not? |
| A47535 | But why may ● ot Infants be baptized now as well as Children were circumcised heretofore? |
| A47535 | But why must the whole Body be dipp''d? |
| A47535 | But yet this Baptism however was by a pouring forth of the Spirit, and why may not Baptism be administred so? |
| A47535 | But you lay too much stress upon Baptism? |
| A47535 | But, Sirs, who- ever washes Hands, Cups, Pots, or Beds, by sprinkling a few Drops of VVater upon them? |
| A47535 | Ca n''t God save poor Infants without they also do believe? |
| A47535 | Ca n''t God save poor dying Infants, unless the same change by the Spirits Operations pass upon them? |
| A47535 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
| A47535 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized? |
| A47535 | Can any believe God would command any such thing to be done, that should endanger the Life of a Child? |
| A47535 | Can they answer a good Conscience, by believing the Resurrection of Christ? |
| A47535 | Can they covenant with God? |
| A47535 | Come put it to your Consciences; Can you suppose any should be baptized by virtue of the words of Christ in the Commission, but Disciples only? |
| A47535 | Could the Apostle in plainer words have detected the Error of these Men, if he had met with them in his day? |
| A47535 | Did God forbid Abraham to circumcise his Female Children, or forbid him to circumcise his Male Children on the ninth day? |
| A47535 | Did Moses deal thus with the Children of Israel? |
| A47535 | Did any Man assert till now the Baptism of Christ to be a Legal Rite, or rather that it sprung from Human Tradition? |
| A47535 | Did the Apostle intend hereby, do you think, to press them all to die to Sin, and live to God? |
| A47535 | Did the whole Church of the Romans reckon themselves, think you, to be dead to Sin, and bound to live no longer therein? |
| A47535 | Do not secret things belong to him, what Vanity is there in the minds of some Men? |
| A47535 | Does not this Argument make void the Baptism of Infants, as well as Adult Unbelievers, by the Ancients? |
| A47535 | Doth he baptize? |
| A47535 | Doth it follow that we must Baptize so now? |
| A47535 | Doth not our Blessed Saviour''s Words immediately following fully answer this Objection, and, lo I am with you always to the end of the World? |
| A47535 | Doth not the Apostle shew that Men had Power to give the Spirit? |
| A47535 | Fifthly, Doth Baptism confer Grace or regenerate the Child? |
| A47535 | For was that Rubbish gone, what a glorious Harmony would follow, even such a Day as would make all our Souls rejoyce? |
| A47535 | Grant she had Children, how unlikely a matter is it, saith he, that she should carry them about with her, trading so many miles distant? |
| A47535 | Has God ordained Baptism to be an Ordinance to save the Souls of any Persons, either the Adult or Infants? |
| A47535 | Has not Christ Power to preserve, protect, and uphold all such Persons which he commands to be Baptized? |
| A47535 | Has the Holy Trinity given you any Authority so to do? |
| A47535 | Hath Christ any where required it? |
| A47535 | Hath Christ, I say, or his Apostles, as you read, forbid these things, and many more of like nature? |
| A47535 | Have they a justifying Faith, as Mr. Baxter intimates? |
| A47535 | Have you a Dispensation to make the Commandments of God void by your Traditions? |
| A47535 | How can Water, a material thing, work upon the Soul in a Physical manner? |
| A47535 | How can Water, an external thing, work upon the Soul in a physical manner? |
| A47535 | How dare you deny a Man admittance into the Church, who is truly Godly, and hath a lively Faith? |
| A47535 | How dares any Man, who fears God, attempt to do any thing contrary to the Holy Pattern left in Christ''s New Testament? |
| A47535 | How little is the Institution or Practice of the Primitive Christians minded amongst many good Men? |
| A47535 | How often must we tell you that Baptism wholly depends, as to Subject, Time, End, and manner of Administration, on the words of Institution? |
| A47535 | How palpable is it that Godly Men have wicked Children now adays as well as in former times? |
| A47535 | How then can you justify your selves in such a Practice? |
| A47535 | I am, saith Christ, to be baptized with Blood, overwhelmed with Sufferings and Afflictions; are you able so to be? |
| A47535 | I have heard some say, Is it my where forbid? |
| A47535 | I wonder what Faith''t is you suppose to be in Infants? |
| A47535 | If God should have sent a Saint from the Dead, to let us know what we should do, would we not give all diligent heed to him? |
| A47535 | If he hath a right to Christ, who is signified in the Lord''s Supper, may be be denied the Sign, because he is not baptized? |
| A47535 | If you ca n''t prove this, what signifies all you say? |
| A47535 | In the Name of the Glorious Trinity, can they say and prove it, Christ hath given them any such Authority? |
| A47535 | In the Rubrick, What is required of Persons that are to be baptized? |
| A47535 | Is it necessary you should alter any of his Holy Laws, and make void one of the great Sacraments of the New Testament by your Traditions? |
| A47535 | Is it not a false thing to say, Persons may believe and be saved by the Faith of others? |
| A47535 | Is it not a foolish thing and a Lye, to say, Children have Faith, and are Disciples, who are not capable of Understanding? |
| A47535 | Is it not a foolish thing to cry out against Traditions, and all Inventions of Men, and yet strive to uphold and maintain them? |
| A47535 | Is it not a weak thing, to open a Door into the Church, which Christ hath shut up? |
| A47535 | Is it not an evil and false thing to say, Persons may have Grace and Regeneration before they know God, or are called by his Word and holy Spirit? |
| A47535 | Is it not an evil and harmful thing, and a great error to say, Baptism takes away Original Sin? |
| A47535 | Is it not an hurtful and evil thing, to defile and p ● lute the Church, by bringing in the Fleshy Seed which Christ hath cast out? |
| A47535 | Is it not necessary for you to do what Christ hath commanded, and when at no time there is any danger of the Lives of Persons? |
| A47535 | Is it not strange that you should say, That none but the Children of Believers ought to be Baptized? |
| A47535 | Is not God a free Agent? |
| A47535 | Is not Truth and Righteousness to be joyned with Peace and Love? |
| A47535 | Is not Woman as well as Man intended there? |
| A47535 | Is not this a meer trifling Vanity, and nought but a piece of Foolery and Deceit, to darken Counsel with words without Knowledg? |
| A47535 | Is this good Divinity with Mr. Smythies? |
| A47535 | Is this the way to that longed- for Reformation? |
| A47535 | It was not too low for him, and is it too low for thee? |
| A47535 | May I not argue thus; If Teaching continues to the end of the World, Baptism continues? |
| A47535 | Moreover, what express word against Infants receiving the Sacraments? |
| A47535 | Must Christ forbid Infant- Baptism? |
| A47535 | Must he needs baptize them because he took them up in his Arms? |
| A47535 | Nay, can we think Christ would institute an Ordinance to destroy the Lives of any Persons? |
| A47535 | Nay, worse, a Tradition of Men? |
| A47535 | Now do you see that all the Children of Believers have the Grace of God bestowed upon them, so that they are new Creatures? |
| A47535 | Now the Question is, What we are to understand to be meant by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost? |
| A47535 | Now, are Children capable to do any of this? |
| A47535 | Or is it an Imputitive Faith from the Parents in Covenant, as Musculus and others maintain? |
| A47535 | Or, did God forbid Nadab and Abihu to offer strange Fire, who were destroyed for doing it? |
| A47535 | Or, did he tell them they should Baptize those in hot Countries that were Disciples, and Rantize such who received the Word in cold Countries? |
| A47535 | Or, is it the Faith of the Gossip or Surety, as many of your Church say, i. e. others believe for them? |
| A47535 | Or, is not that they call Baptism, in your Consciences a Nullity? |
| A47535 | Or, were they in it, and are they now fallen out of it? |
| A47535 | Ordinances or Sacraments of Christ? |
| A47535 | Ought you not to make God''s VVord your Rule? |
| A47535 | Secondly, But why do you say Children must be Believers, or else they ca n''t be saved? |
| A47535 | Secondly, We ask, whether God hath left it in the Power of the Parent to save or destroy the Soul of his Child, which your Doctrine doth import? |
| A47535 | Sir, I will appeal to you, is not this Inference as good and as justifiable as yours? |
| A47535 | Sirs, How dare you, In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, say, I Baptize thee,& c. when you do but Rantize the Person? |
| A47535 | Sirs, wherefore do you judg it reasonable, and not necessary? |
| A47535 | Sometimes there has been some such like Action done I must confess: But does not the Prince actually consent so to be married? |
| A47535 | Speak, are they Baptized? |
| A47535 | The Minor is easily proved: Can any thing reflect more upon the Honour of Christ,& c. than this? |
| A47535 | Thirdly, We demand what hopes are intended, and by what Scriptures the same are annexed to the Administration of an Ordinance in Infancy? |
| A47535 | This savours of horrible Pride: Shall Man prescribe unto God ways how he shall be worshipped? |
| A47535 | To contemn this Order,( saith he) is to contemn all Rules of Order: for where can we expect to find it, if not here? |
| A47535 | To which I answer, where are such things as Crossings, Salt, Spittle, and Sureties,& c. forbid? |
| A47535 | VVere they not to go into cold Countries as well as Hot? |
| A47535 | Was not Lot a Godly Man, and in the same Covenant of Grace? |
| A47535 | Was not that Church set up to be a Patern, or perfect Copy, after which all succeeding Churches were to write? |
| A47535 | Well, what tho? |
| A47535 | Well, what though that be so? |
| A47535 | Were any ever baptized with the Holy Spirit in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? |
| A47535 | Were not Women Disciples, and commanded to be made discipline by the preaching of the Gospel in the Commission, as well as Men? |
| A47535 | Were not Women Members of the Chur ● ● ▪ and does not the Holy Supper belong to all ● ● ● ● lar Members thereof? |
| A47535 | Were not Women as well as Men( who believed) Baptized? |
| A47535 | Were these little Children be ye sure the Children of Believers? |
| A47535 | What Confusion is here among the Pedo- Baptists? |
| A47535 | What Ordinance hath he ordained to signify the sprinkling of the Blood of Christ? |
| A47535 | What a Covenant then do you make that sure and everlasting Covenant of Grace to be? |
| A47535 | What abundance of Betrayers of the Truth and Church too have we in these days? |
| A47535 | What is this but to intail Grace to Nature, and Regeneration to Generation? |
| A47535 | What resemblance of the Burial and Resurrection of Christ is in Sprinkling? |
| A47535 | What was that? |
| A47535 | What will they answer him when he visiteth them? |
| A47535 | What will they say when God rises up? |
| A47535 | When shall we see the like proof for Babes Baptism? |
| A47535 | Who can justifie you in this Practice? |
| A47535 | Who can require Water, that these Persons should be Baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? |
| A47535 | Who now can conclude rationally, that any Children were in any of these Housholds? |
| A47535 | Who tells them so? |
| A47535 | Why do you not believe the Apostle who tells you the quite contrary, and that he said not of Seeds as of many, but to thy Seed, which is Christ? |
| A47535 | Why may not that Text be a Proof that Bells in Churches should be baptized, and so made holy likewise? |
| A47535 | Why may they not deny Preaching to continue, as well as Baptizing, since Teaching is commanded by no other Authority than this? |
| A47535 | Yet are not you contented to lie short in doing this according to the Sentiments of your Minds and Understandings? |
| A47535 | You may as well ask, why Nadab and Abihu might not have offered strange Fire, or why might not the Priest? |
| A47535 | You will object, May be that Bells are not ● it nor capable Subjects of such an Ordinance? |
| A47535 | and because he blessed them, must he receive them into his Church? |
| A47535 | and have not our Brethren cast it away as such? |
| A47535 | and might he therefore do these things — because God did no where tell him he should not do so? |
| A47535 | and to make the Church National, which ought to be Congregational? |
| A47535 | and where is the Spirit of Reformation? |
| A47535 | and yet they were not, from that Ground, to be circumcised, nor were they at all circumcised, because God did not command them so to be? |
| A47535 | as if John should say, that is a sign he is sent of God: and do all Men come to him? |
| A47535 | believing Men and Women; is it not necessary for you to do Christ''s Work, as Christ has required? |
| A47535 | can it do the Child any hurt? |
| A47535 | can we think that others ever attained to the like, much less to greater Light and Knowledg than they? |
| A47535 | do they rather go to him to be baptized than come to me? |
| A47535 | doth he say they ought, or that it belongs to them? |
| A47535 | has God told you he can not, or will not save them except they believe? |
| A47535 | hath Christ said indeed, ye shall not baptize Bells? |
| A47535 | in token of such a Communion with the Power of his Death, as to kill Sin, and crucifie the old Man, so that henceforth we should not serve Sin? |
| A47535 | is it not an innocent thing? |
| A47535 | is it therefore lawful to baptize them? |
| A47535 | is that requisite, or would it make the Estate the more firm or sure to him? |
| A47535 | is the Opus operatum of Baptism, think you, a likely way or means to beget or bring forth Children to Christ, or make Disciples of them? |
| A47535 | is there any Argument or Scripture brought by this Man to prove them so to be? |
| A47535 | may he not do what he pleases, and magnifie his Grace to poor dying Infants, through the Blood of his Son, in other ways than we know of? |
| A47535 | may not the Head be sufficient, that being the principal Part? |
| A47535 | might there not be a Pond, or some River near? |
| A47535 | must he declare in plain words they ought not to be baptized, or else may they, ought they to be baptized? |
| A47535 | nay, a prophanation of the Sacrament of Baptism? |
| A47535 | or a dogmatical Faith only, as in Mr. Blake''s Sense? |
| A47535 | or can Baptism appear to be a Symbol of it to them? |
| A47535 | or those extraordinary Gifts or miraculous Effusions of the Holy Ghost only, which many received in the Primitive Times? |
| A47535 | such and such good Men and able Ministers did say this was a Truth and my Duty? |
| A47535 | that ye shall not go on Pilgrimages, nor pray for the Dead? |
| A47535 | therefore we are buried with him in Baptism into Death,& c. Else what shall they do that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not at all? |
| A47535 | to assert a thing that no Man has any ground to believe, nor ca n''t, without offering violence to his Reason? |
| A47535 | together with Melchisedec and others I might mention? |
| A47535 | what else is the meaning of these words, he therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit? |
| A47535 | wherein are they uncapable? |
| A47535 | whether the sanctifying Gifts and Graces of the Spirit are intended hereby, which all the Godly receive? |
| A47535 | which being so ▪ how uncertain is your Inference? |
| A47535 | who made you one of his Privy- Council? |
| A47535 | who say''t is an Invention of Men and no Ordinance of Jesus Christ? |
| A47535 | who told you so? |
| A47535 | — How can outward Water, saith Mr. Charnock, convey inward- Life? |
| A47535 | ● ut why will not our Brethren keep to the great Insti ● ution, and exact Rule of the Primitive Church? |
| A47465 | ''T is true, Buying denotes our parting with something that is our own, that we may have that we want: But what is ours which we must part with? |
| A47465 | 1.18, 19. Who would not highly account of Things bought with such a Price, and part with all things for them, as Paul did? |
| A47465 | A Mediatour many times meets with great trouble, and Difficulties in undertaking to make Peace; and what trouble hath Jesus Christ met with? |
| A47465 | A Sinful State is no Bar to the Power of God; for what tho some believe not, shall their Vnbelief make the Faith of God of none Effect? |
| A47465 | Alas, What is in us before we are Born again? |
| A47465 | Also you may take Paul''s Experiences on this account: What says he? |
| A47465 | And alas, who is able to perform these hard Conditions? |
| A47465 | And also strive as much as in you is, to be at Peace with all Men? |
| A47465 | And also what Opposition and Resistance, Scorn and Contempt doth he daily still meet with from Sinners? |
| A47465 | And do you live peaceably in the Church of God? |
| A47465 | And doth not the Fruit proceed from the Seed, and the Act flow from the Habit? |
| A47465 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
| A47465 | And how then is it said ▪ He was Surety of a better Covenant? |
| A47465 | And if so, Was not the Covenant made with Christ of Redemption, a Covenant of Peace and Reconciliation also? |
| A47465 | And is it in your Hearts to take hold of the Promises of the Gospel? |
| A47465 | And on such a sure Foundation too? |
| A47465 | And pray, doth not God give the Spirit, before Faith can be exerted by us? |
| A47465 | And the Oyl of Joy for Mourning; we mourn and weep for our Sins; well, and pray what are a few Tears good for? |
| A47465 | And thy Tabernacles, O Israel?) |
| A47465 | And what Sorrow hath he undergone from Devils, from Men, nay, and from Divine Justice, and incensed Wrath, when he put himself in our Law place? |
| A47465 | And what a Bloody Agony did he pass under? |
| A47465 | And what a Painful und Shameful Death did he Die? |
| A47465 | And who can abide the fierceness of his Anger? |
| A47465 | And who is fuller of Righteousness than Jesus Christ? |
| A47465 | And why ca n''t they tell us, What those other things are that Jesus Christ did, that are not written? |
| A47465 | And yet do you not like the Terms? |
| A47465 | Are these of any worth in themselves? |
| A47465 | Are you at War with Sin? |
| A47465 | Are you reconciled to the Ways of God, even to the strictest Acts and Duties of Holiness? |
| A47465 | Behold my Servant that I uphold, mine Elect in whom my Soul delighteth; I have put my Spirit upon him: Well, and what hath Christ engaged to do? |
| A47465 | Believe in him, cry to him for Faith, resolve to lay down your Arms: What Answer shall I return to my Great Master? |
| A47465 | Believe what? |
| A47465 | Bless God for Jesus Christ our Surety: What a sweet Covenant is this, that we are brought into? |
| A47465 | Brethren, this Love is not in Word and in Tongue, but in Deed and in Truth also: How doth it appear you love your Wife, your Children? |
| A47465 | But did I say these Returns are for what we venture? |
| A47465 | But doth not the Gospel require Faith and Repentance, as the Condition of Justification, and Eternal Life? |
| A47465 | But what saith the Lord to them? |
| A47465 | Buy presently, you hear how, without Money: What, are all Things here free? |
| A47465 | Can Reformation of life give you Peace, or your inherent Sanctification, or pious and religious duties? |
| A47465 | Can Tears of Blood apease Divine Wrath, or satisfy Divine Justice? |
| A47465 | Can our Imperfect Righteousness, or Sinful Duties Justifie us at God''s Bar? |
| A47465 | Can there be a greater Priviledge than to be made God''s own peculiar People? |
| A47465 | Can they friendly converse, and have Communion together till then? |
| A47465 | Can''t Men Break, that follow this Trade? |
| A47465 | Christ done for us? |
| A47465 | Christ is called the Sun of Righteousness, denoting that fullness of Righteousness which is in him as Mediator; What is fuller of light than the Sun? |
| A47465 | Consider what Glorious Gifts and Priviledges are given and granted in this Covenant? |
| A47465 | Contemplate on the Love of your dying Friend; Shall the King Immortal become a dying Testator? |
| A47465 | Dare any reproach and speak against their Father''s Children? |
| A47465 | Do they not( as it were) leap in you with ravishing Joy? |
| A47465 | Do thy Sins grieve thee? |
| A47465 | Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
| A47465 | Do you believe it? |
| A47465 | Do you fetch your peace from thence? |
| A47465 | Do you long for the Peace of Jerusalem, and pray for her Peace, for that Peace which is promised to her in the last Days? |
| A47465 | Do you love all the People of God, and are you Reconciled to those,( who may in many things differ from you?) |
| A47465 | Do you love the Word of God because of its Purity? |
| A47465 | Do you mourn for such whom you love, even for your Brethren, your Kinsfolk, your Neighbours that are not yet Reconciled unto him? |
| A47465 | Do you pray for them, and hate all Bitterness; and forbear all Reproachful Language and Sensorious Reflections? |
| A47465 | Do you resolve to throw down your Arms and come in? |
| A47465 | Do you truly and savingly know the Lord? |
| A47465 | Dost fear thou shalt some time or another depart from God? |
| A47465 | Dost thou fear thou shalt suffer want, yea, want Bread? |
| A47465 | Doth God leave mankind to perish in a state of Sin and Misery? |
| A47465 | Doth he need Rest? |
| A47465 | Doth he want Liberty? |
| A47465 | Doth it not then follow, we need not be concerned to keep or fulfil the Law? |
| A47465 | Doth the Proclamation of Peace run thus? |
| A47465 | Doth the Soul want light? |
| A47465 | For Consider, Art thou afflicted, or tempted? |
| A47465 | Fourthly, What are the Terms upon which Peace is offered and proclaimed? |
| A47465 | God forbid? |
| A47465 | God swore by his Holiness; What is more Sacred? |
| A47465 | God''s peculiar People highly love, value, and prize the Lord Jesus Christ: They can say with David, Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
| A47465 | Has God given you such Security that your Persons are accepted, your Sins pardoned for ever, and yet hang down your Heads? |
| A47465 | Have you Peace in your own Consciences, and Peace in your Families? |
| A47465 | Have you Union with Christ? |
| A47465 | Have you a new Heart? |
| A47465 | He must be one with us, or else how could his Obedience be imputed to us? |
| A47465 | He that was in the Form of God, found in the Form of a Servant; Shall God purchase his Church with his own Blood? |
| A47465 | Hence the Gospel it is called, The Joyful Sound: Is not here cause of Joy? |
| A47465 | His Son, his Spirit, his Love, his Grace, his Peace, Peace with God, Peace of Conscience, and Joy in the Holy Ghost, and Eternal Happiness in Heaven? |
| A47465 | How Mollifying was his Temper towards God? |
| A47465 | How amazingly doth it flow forth in this Covenant to sinful Mankind? |
| A47465 | How are such here detected? |
| A47465 | How barren is she now, that once was the Darling of Heaven, and the only Church and People of God? |
| A47465 | How doth David cry out of the burden of his Sins? |
| A47465 | How easie hath God made the Terms of Peace as to us, since Christ is obliged to work all our Works in us, as well as for us? |
| A47465 | How sure are all Covenant Mercies? |
| A47465 | I answer, Why to so many? |
| A47465 | I may say of the Nations of the Earth, as Jehu said to Joram''s Messenger, What hast thou to do with Peace? |
| A47465 | If Christ is to be offered to all, or Peace proclaimed unto all, is there then not Vniversal Redemption purchased by him? |
| A47465 | If Christ laid down his Life to Redeem every Man and Woman in the World, hath he his whole Purchase? |
| A47465 | If this be so, why is the Proclamation so Vniversal? |
| A47465 | If you do, your peace will be turned into trouble and anguish of Spirit; or can your lively and spiritual Frame give you true and lasting peace? |
| A47465 | In that Man run away from God, and hid himself, And the Lord God called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? |
| A47465 | In the last place( and to close with all I shall say) What ground of Comfort and Consolation to Believers is here? |
| A47465 | Is Grace given to you? |
| A47465 | Is Sin cast out of your Love and Affections? |
| A47465 | Is it hard to tell a Man he must give up the Traytor he has harboured in his House? |
| A47465 | Is it not God? |
| A47465 | Is it of any worth? |
| A47465 | Is not Faith the Fruit of the Spirit? |
| A47465 | Is not that a Glorious Covenant in which God is given, Christ is given to the Soul? |
| A47465 | Is not this Good News? |
| A47465 | Is there an unreconcilable opposition made in you against all Sin? |
| A47465 | Is this Gospel? |
| A47465 | Jesus Christ promised, and Free Justification through him, Is the Law against the Promises? |
| A47465 | Lastly, What Comfort is here for all drooping Believers, weak in Faith? |
| A47465 | Let all that hear me this Day, try themselves, examine themselves, whether they have Peace with God, or not? |
| A47465 | May be you will say, Why not to more? |
| A47465 | Moreover, Angels and Men Worship God in our Nature, that is, Jesus Christ, God- man: And how astonishing is this? |
| A47465 | Moreover, What Glorious Grace is by this Covenant procured for all the Elect? |
| A47465 | Moreover, Who can believe that Christ would shed his Blood for such whom he knew would never answer those Conditions which these Men speak of? |
| A47465 | Moreover, if Christ was not put in our Law place, as our Representative and Surety, Why was he made of a Woman, and made under the Law? |
| A47465 | My Brethren, Doth a Child contribute any thing to its own Formation in the Womb? |
| A47465 | Nay, Why not to all? |
| A47465 | Nay, was not all ● race given Foederaly to us in Christ in that Covenant? |
| A47465 | Nay, why to any at all? |
| A47465 | Now from whence is all this? |
| A47465 | Now this is the State of all Mankind: What Slaves? |
| A47465 | Now what Merchandise of this World, do Men account to excel that of Silver and fine Gold? |
| A47465 | Now what was that a Type of, but of the Proclamation of Peace in the Gospel? |
| A47465 | O how did Love and Bowels move towards us in the Heart of God the Father from everlasting? |
| A47465 | O how joyful then must those Tidings be, to hear that such a King, such an Enemy is reconciled to us? |
| A47465 | O what Gifts, Grants, Blessings and Priviledges are procured in the Covenant of Peace? |
| A47465 | O who can search out the depth of this Mystery? |
| A47465 | Of the Great God, the King of Heaven and Earth? |
| A47465 | One Day in thy Courts, is better than a Thousand — And from hence it is that he cries out, Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
| A47465 | One Smile of God''s Face, is better than all the World; which made David say, Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
| A47465 | Or can not a Man give a bountiful Gift to One or Two poor Men in a Parish, but he must bestow like Bounty to all the Poor in the said Parish? |
| A47465 | Or how could he have prevailed against Death? |
| A47465 | Or of this Mediator, or of this Proclamation? |
| A47465 | Or was not God in Christ, in and by vertue of that Covenant from everlasting a reconciling the World to himself? |
| A47465 | Or what receiveth he at thine Hand? |
| A47465 | Or would Jesus Christ die for the whole World, and yet refuse to pray for them, that they may all be saved? |
| A47465 | Or, Art thou Backsliden from God? |
| A47465 | Or, Art thou deserted? |
| A47465 | Or, Why to such that are called? |
| A47465 | Our Fastings and Prayer and Humiliations? |
| A47465 | Our own Righteousness in respect of Trust and Dependance: And what is that but filthy Rags? |
| A47465 | Overcome and have subdued Death? |
| A47465 | Pleasures and no God, Honours and no God? |
| A47465 | Pray observe that Jesus Christ hath made our Peace, and Faith to receive the Atonement is given as an absolute Promise: Is not the Spirit so given? |
| A47465 | Relations, Wives, Children, Friends, and no God? |
| A47465 | Riches and no God? |
| A47465 | Saints do you fix your eyes also upo ● this Covenant, to plead the Blood and Merits of Christ in this Covenant? |
| A47465 | Secondly, What doth this import for God to be our God? |
| A47465 | Sinners, Will not you accept of Peace? |
| A47465 | Sirs, the Spirit will cause you to vomit up that Poyson that you have taken down; But is that too hard to save the Life of your Immortal Souls? |
| A47465 | Swift and Speedy, How much Work did he do in three Years and a half? |
| A47465 | That Redemption which is by Jesus Christ, is from Sin, from the Guilt, Power, and Punishment thereof: And are all Men in the World thus Redeemed? |
| A47465 | That is, Is the Law, as given in Mount Sinai against the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47465 | That our Acceptation should be in Christ, that our Justification should be in him, and our Sanctification should be in and by him,& c? |
| A47465 | The Ancient of Days became a Child of a Day old? |
| A47465 | The Moral Law and Light, in all, discovers a God, but no Christ, no Mediator: What doth the Pagan World know of this Covenant of Peace? |
| A47465 | They are Heavenly Things, Heavenly Riches: What are the Nature of all Earthly Things to Heavenly Things? |
| A47465 | To appoint them that mourn in Sion, to give them Beauty for Ashes: Beauty, especially Spiritual Beauty is a precious Thing, but what are Ashes worth? |
| A47465 | True, there are in the Covenant, Conditions of Connexion; if a Man believes, he shall be saved; But who gives that Faith? |
| A47465 | Was it not made with him as our Co ● enanting Head, and so in him with all Gods ● lect and for them? |
| A47465 | Was it not that Covenant that was made ● etwixt the Father and the Son, that Christ was made the Mediator and Surety of, and Confirmed by his death? |
| A47465 | Was it not that the Law might reach him? |
| A47465 | Was not all the good which we receive ● n time promised to us in Christ before the World began? |
| A47465 | Was not the Covenant of Redemption made with Christ as a Publick Person, a Second Adam: And if so, was it not made in him with all his Seed? |
| A47465 | What Anguish did he feel? |
| A47465 | What Answer think you could they have made? |
| A47465 | What Assurance hath God given that they shall be his People for ever? |
| A47465 | What Cursed Enmity was there in our Carnal Mind? |
| A47465 | What Dignity and Honour is it then to be espoused to such a Prince? |
| A47465 | What Favour is this? |
| A47465 | What Good News is here for broken Sinners, who lie Condemned by the Covenant of Works? |
| A47465 | What Love is this? |
| A47465 | What Peace can such expect, who continue in Rebellion against the GOD of Heaven and Earth? |
| A47465 | What Peace so long as the Whoredoms of thy Mother Jezzabel, and her Witchcrafts are so many? |
| A47465 | What Proclamation can be more free, or universal than this is? |
| A47465 | What Reproaches and Temptations did attend him? |
| A47465 | What Riches, Glory and Power is in Christ the Mediator? |
| A47465 | What Tears did he shed? |
| A47465 | What Vassals of Sin and Satan are all Ungodly Mortals? |
| A47465 | What a Good is God? |
| A47465 | What are our Duties? |
| A47465 | What are the Curled Locks, and Chains of Gold, and Glis ● ● ● ing Robes in the sight of God? |
| A47465 | What are you put into Christ''s Hand, and yet doubt? |
| A47465 | What do you say, Sinners? |
| A47465 | What do you say? |
| A47465 | What do you say? |
| A47465 | What exceeds himself? |
| A47465 | What give himself to us? |
| A47465 | What greater Demonstrations of Love, of Infinite Love could God give? |
| A47465 | What hath God done? |
| A47465 | What hath God to bestow that excels himself? |
| A47465 | What hath he more, all Happiness is comprehended in God? |
| A47465 | What in Covenant with God, and yet fear? |
| A47465 | What is his Deformity, his Polution, his Filthiness? |
| A47465 | What is this Gospel? |
| A47465 | What make a Deed of Gift of himself to us? |
| A47465 | What the Proclamation is? |
| A47465 | What was Christ to do, and we receive by vertue of his Mediation and Suretiship? |
| A47465 | What will become of them that contemn and slight this Blood — and the Vertue and Efficacy that is in it? |
| A47465 | What, is the Lord of Heaven and Earth Born of a Woman? |
| A47465 | When the Cause is not removed, what reason have we to think the Effect will cease? |
| A47465 | Where are your Hearts? |
| A47465 | Wherefore? |
| A47465 | Who are Rich Traders, Rich Christians? |
| A47465 | Who are they? |
| A47465 | Who can conceive of the greatness of it? |
| A47465 | Who is it that is just a going to God''s Tribunal, that dares to plead what he hath done, or is wrought in him? |
| A47465 | Whoever gave any thing unto him? |
| A47465 | Why did- Christ become a Surety for us, and put his Hand to the Covenant? |
| A47465 | Why to us, and not rather to those that are lost? |
| A47465 | Why will Men stand upon their own Legs? |
| A47465 | Why will they seek Relief other ways than by the Surety and Mediator of the Covenant? |
| A47465 | Why, of no more worth then a little Ashes? |
| A47465 | Will you be saved by Works, and not by Grace? |
| A47465 | Will you have a Righteousness wrought out of your own Bowels, or by doing, or have none at all? |
| A47465 | Will you not this Day become Spiritual Merchants? |
| A47465 | Will you not value those things highly which the Son of God bought with his own Heart''s Blood? |
| A47465 | Will you strive to take hold of Jesus Christ? |
| A47465 | With what boldness also may we come to God by him? |
| A47465 | With whom was the Covenant of Grace made? |
| A47465 | Would you know what is contained in this Proclamation? |
| A47465 | Yea, how much like to the Devil were we by Nature? |
| A47465 | Yet what saith Paul? |
| A47465 | and did not he un ● ertake to Die for all Gods Elect when the Fulness of time was come? |
| A47465 | for how many Faithful Ambassadors in thee, hath God called Home very lately? |
| A47465 | how averse are Men to accept of Peace and Reconciliation with God by Christ? |

| A47465 | what a Trade by this Peace is opened to Believers? |
| A47465 | what an Honour is it to be the Sons and Daughters of God? |
| A47465 | — Shall I continue in Sin, because Grace has abounded, God forbid? |
| A47465 | 〈 ◊ 〉 thy Soul? |
| A47614 | ''T is below thy relation to the holy Ghost; Is he thy Comforter, Guide, Witness, Strength, and art not content? |
| A47614 | ''T is very like you speak the truth in this; but Sir, pray whither are you going? |
| A47614 | 10 How is the Practical Love of Truth the best Preservative against Popery? |
| A47614 | Ah, Sir, what will your hope avail you though you have gain''d the World, when God taketh away your Soul? |
| A47614 | Am I as this Publican? |
| A47614 | Am I not my own Master? |
| A47614 | Am I the cause of it? |
| A47614 | And how doth God know? |
| A47614 | And then lastly, have you no need of these good things of mine, because they may not so directly answer your outward necessity? |
| A47614 | Are Christ''s Promises of Grace and Peace here, and Glory hereafter, because not seen with external Eyes, fictions? |
| A47614 | Are not the necessities of your Soul more to be minded than to get store of Meat, Drink, Clothes, Silver and Gold? |
| A47614 | Are the Imperialists and Turks yet come to engage? |
| A47614 | Are you a going the way to Heaven? |
| A47614 | Art thou in the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47614 | Besides do you not see how the men of the World hate him? |
| A47614 | Besides, who will trust you? |
| A47614 | But pray wherein will he be so useful to me: What are his Properties? |
| A47614 | But stay Poverty, What kind of Fellows are those you have got in your House? |
| A47614 | But what is the Heresie? |
| A47614 | But why dost thou chuse to take up thy dwelling in this Village now, when so many are going out? |
| A47614 | But why should you think I harbour Hypocrisie in my House? |
| A47614 | But''t is better to be contemned for Virtue by men on earth, than to be condemned for Vice by the God of Heaven? |
| A47614 | By what means may Ministers best win Souls? |
| A47614 | Can Gold or Silver enrich it, or the rarest worldly dainties feed it, or Wine chear it? |
| A47614 | Can any man on earth ere come to be A full, compleat and just Epitome Of Sin and wrath? |
| A47614 | Can he be contented in the waies of God, though he meets with little sensible comfort from God, nor outward respect from Saints? |
| A47614 | Can man on Earth more happy be? |
| A47614 | Can the World help thee to Peace and Pardon on a Death- Bed, or Riches deliver thee in the day of Wrath? |
| A47614 | Come are thou willing to possess them, to make them thy own, and to enjoy them for ever, yea or no? |
| A47614 | Come they not hence, even of their lusts that war in their members? |
| A47614 | Consider, can any of these things make thy Soul happy? |
| A47614 | David thought it no small matter to be a Son- in- Law to an Earthly King; and art thou the King''s Son of Heaven and Earth, and yet not content? |
| A47614 | Do you not read, he was not to abide in the house for ever? |
| A47614 | Do you think I am such a Fool to give Entertainment to you, and lose all my great Honour and Credit amongst the brave Heroes of the Earth? |
| A47614 | Does he alwaies give good and just weight and measure, and not take unlawful profit? |
| A47614 | Does he not seek more for suitable words in Prayer, than for a suitable heart? |
| A47614 | Does not every man desire after that which is good? |
| A47614 | Dost not remember that Word, Behold I stand at the door and knock,& c. Sir, now I will ask you the like question, pray what is your Name? |
| A47614 | Doth Godliness thus wander to and fro, For want of Friends must he a begging go? |
| A47614 | Doth Legalist thus basely tread thee down? |
| A47614 | Doth he concern himself for the interest of the Gospel, and by his open- heartedness, shew upon that account he loves Christ above Son or Daughter? |
| A47614 | Doth he give according to his Ability to the poor? |
| A47614 | Doth he love the word of God, because of the purity of it? |

| A47614 | Doth he see more evil in the least Sin, than in the greatest Suffering? |
| A47614 | Doth not he study more for acute expressions to affect the hearts of others, than to meet with powerful impressions upon his own? |
| A47614 | Doth not his satisfaction more lie in his asking of God, than in his receiving from God? |
| A47614 | Eighthly, Hath he received a whole Christ with a whole heart? |
| A47614 | Farewel, Farewel, thou Monster of Mankind, Look East and West, see, see, if you can find A man who may with this sad Soul compare: Will he return? |
| A47614 | Fearful, a Timorous Fellow, whom he stirs up, I have of late had but very little quiet: Now, what will you advise me to do in this sad Condition? |
| A47614 | Forced by whom? |
| A47614 | Fourthly, Is he the same in private as in publick? |
| A47614 | From whence come you sir? |
| A47614 | God forbid I should hide any cursed Enemies of True Godliness: Who are they? |
| A47614 | Godliness, What if you lose the Honour of this World, I will raise you to far greater; For Honour and Riches are with me? |
| A47614 | Godliness, Why would you have a part in the Righteousness of Christ, and in his Kingdom, and not receive True Godliness? |
| A47614 | HOW shall I express my grief or utter my complaint? |
| A47614 | Has God tyed and bound himself by promises and holy Oath to help thee, uphold thee, and keep thee from falling, and yet not Content? |
| A47614 | Hated of God and man, what can be worse Than th''wrath of man, and great Jehovah''s Curse? |
| A47614 | Hath he not done much good in the Parish where he lives, and given many a piece of Bread at his Door? |
| A47614 | Hath he received Christ not only as a Priest, to die for him, but also as a Prince to rule over him? |
| A47614 | Have I o''er come all deadly foes, And shall this Old- man me oppose? |
| A47614 | Have any of the* Rulers and Nobles of the Nations embraced you, I mean strict Godliness? |
| A47614 | Have you not rather spent too much of your time about Notions and airy Speculations? |
| A47614 | Have you, said Consideration, made Religion your chief business since you come to live in this place? |
| A47614 | He that will not lend an ear to Consideration, renders himself little better than a Brute; and what follows this folly and madness? |
| A47614 | How are the Religious of a Nation the strength of it? |
| A47614 | How do you make that appear? |
| A47614 | How doth it fare with our poor Protestant Brethren in France? |
| A47614 | How is God his Peoples great Reward? |
| A47614 | How is the adherent Vanity of every Condition most effectually abated by serious Godliness? |

| A47614 | How may our Belief of Gods governing the World, support us in all worldly Distractions? |
| A47614 | How may the well discharge of our present Duty give us an assurance of help from God for the well discharge of all Future Duties? |
| A47614 | How may we Experience it in our selves, and Evidence it to others, that serious Godliness is more than a Fancy? |
| A47614 | How may we Graciously improve those Doctrines and Providences which transcend our Understandings? |
| A47614 | How may we best cure the Love of being flattered? |
| A47614 | How may we best know the worth of the Soul? |

| A47605 | & c. Can your Conclusion be good, when your Propositions are bad and defective? |
| A47605 | & c. Was it his Mind that Infants should be baptized, and yet say nothing of it, because it was a common Custom and Practice among the Jews? |
| A47605 | ( for that he did not) and shall we attempt to Baptize them, as if we were wiser than he? |
| A47605 | 1. Who is so blind as he who is not willing to see? |
| A47605 | 12.13? |
| A47605 | 3. Who told you Baptism is Christ''s Ear- mark, by which Christ''s Sheep are distinguished from the Devils Goats? |
| A47605 | 9.7? |
| A47605 | ; Have they a justifying Faith, as Mr. Baxter intimates? |
| A47605 | Also where are Infants excluded from the Lord''s- Table? |
| A47605 | And are Infants able so to do? |
| A47605 | And are not Infants of Unbelievers, nay, Turks and Pagans, capable of the Spiritual Benefits signified in Baptism? |
| A47605 | And could not the twelve Apostles, and the seventy Disciples, dip more than 3000 Persons in one day? |
| A47605 | And do not you herein make your selves wiser than God? |
| A47605 | And for all Male- Children that open the Womb, to be holy to the Lord? |
| A47605 | And how came Baptism to have such Power in it? |
| A47605 | And if the Laws and Institutions of Christ in their own nature are not unchangeable, what may not Men do and yet be blameless? |
| A47605 | And is it so indeed? |
| A47605 | And is not that, as Mr. Baxter saith, a strange Marriage, where there is nothing signified of Consent? |
| A47605 | And that their Infants who die, may go to Heaven, tho not circumcised nor baptized? |
| A47605 | And though in the same Hour of the Night it was done also: What of that, might there not be a River or Pond near his House? |
| A47605 | And to these Customs the Apostle alludes, when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
| A47605 | And us to what you speak concerning Adultery, that shews the like envious, bitter and vile Temper; who do you charge? |
| A47605 | And was not Circumcision them in full force too, and so abode till Christ took it away by nailing it, with all other Jewish Rites, to his Cross? |
| A47605 | And what became of their Male Infants, who died before eight days old? |
| A47605 | And what tho the Greek word doth signify in so many places you mention, spiritual Sanctification and Separation to God? |
| A47605 | And when did God ever honour Infant- Baptism? |
| A47605 | Are not Male and Female all one in Christ Jesus? |
| A47605 | Are not these perjured also? |
| A47605 | Are not they and all others told, that old things are passed away, and all things are become new? |
| A47605 | Are not they capable of Redemption from Sin and Wrath, by the breaking of Christ''s Body, and shedding of his Blood? |
| A47605 | Are you not ashamed thus to go about to blind and deceive the poor People? |
| A47605 | Are you not blame- worthy to write after this sort? |
| A47605 | As if he had said, If there be no Resurrection, why are we baptized? |
| A47605 | Baptism washes not away the Filth of the Flesh? |
| A47605 | Besides, did not the same Fathers hold other Errors? |
| A47605 | Besides, have you not granted the Case so far, that in hot Countries they did dip? |
| A47605 | Besides, was Baptism to be preached or practised by none but the Jewish People? |
| A47605 | But alas, how few are there of that sort? |
| A47605 | But is it so indeed, did our Saviour say nothing of Infant- Baptism? |
| A47605 | But is not this next to Blasphemy? |
| A47605 | But now can the Infant- Seed of Believers, as such, be said to be the Seed of Abraham in any of these four respects? |
| A47605 | But now, because there were so many Additions of the Gospel Promise and New- Covenant; are there so many New Covenants? |
| A47605 | But since he speaks the quite contrary, who shall we believe, you, or the great Apostle of the Gentiles? |
| A47605 | But the Rabbins upheld Joshuah''s side, and what wonder was it? |
| A47605 | But well saith Tertullian, Is it lawful, because it is not forbidden? |
| A47605 | But what good doth your baptizing them do them? |
| A47605 | But what ground have you to deny any who are true Members of the Church, the Eucharist, or Lord''s Supper, or any other Priviledge whatsoerver? |
| A47605 | But who do you( by arguing thus) reflect upon and reproach? |
| A47605 | But why do you confound things together, I mean, Initiation and Baptism? |
| A47605 | But, Sir, how doth this comport with the Rantism of Infants? |
| A47605 | But, Sir, how inconsistent are you with your self? |
| A47605 | But, Sir, speak, doth Baptism change the Nature, or regenerate the Child, or doth it not? |
| A47605 | But, Sir, what must the Gentiles do to know this to be their Duty? |
| A47605 | But, Sir, when did you see any to come out of the bottomless- Pit, that you know so well how they look? |
| A47605 | Can Infant- Baptism be more useful than that of Believers, and yet Baptism an Ordinance of the Soul''s Marriage with Christ? |
| A47605 | Can Infant- Baptism be more useful than that of Believers, and yet Baptism called the Answer of a good Conscience? |
| A47605 | Can Infant- Baptism be more useful than that of Believers? |
| A47605 | Can a little Babe answer a good Conscience by being baptized in Obedience to Christ, and to shew forth his Death and Resurrection? |
| A47605 | Can an humane Rite or Tradition, think you, save poor Children, or a little Water sprinkled on the Face, wash away Original Sin? |
| A47605 | Can any Body believe( in or near Jerusalem, that great City) there was not Water enough to baptize so many Persons? |
| A47605 | Can any Man in his right Wits think our Lord Jesus should confirm a vile Tradition and Innovation of the Jews? |
| A47605 | Can not God save dying Infants, unless they were included in that Covenant made with Abraham? |
| A47605 | Can that be a useful thing that frustrates the sacred and spiritual Ends of Baptism? |
| A47605 | Can that be of any Use to an Infant, which you, nor no Man else can prove from God''s Word to have any Use and Blessing in it to them? |
| A47605 | Can that have any Usefulness in it, that brings Guilt upon the Parents in doing it, making them guilty of Will- Worship, or of a humane Tradition? |
| A47605 | Can you be so ignorant as to affirm this Covenant and Contract made with Abraham, was made with the Natural Seed of believing Gentiles? |
| A47605 | Christ no doubt came to save some of all sorts of Men; and who doubts but he came to save Infants and little ones, young and old? |
| A47605 | Could Jesus be said to be sprinkled into the River Jordan? |
| A47605 | Did Baptism confer Grace, and arm their Souls, it was something; but who dares assert that? |
| A47605 | Did not our Lord Jesus Christ send his Disciples to Teach and Baptize in all Countries, not to Rantize in cool Countries and baptize in hot? |
| A47605 | Did not our Saviour command his Disciples to go into all Nations, and make Disciples and baptize them? |
| A47605 | Did this stumble them in the Apostolical Days, who were told, that Circumcision availed nothing, nor Vncircumcision? |
| A47605 | Do not all Expositors tell you, by Lambs in these places are meant young Converts, who are by St. Peter called new- born Babes? |
| A47605 | Do not these Men teach such a kind of Doctrine as that is? |
| A47605 | Do you know they are all Elect Persons, and so such that God will in time call, give Grace to, and so change their evil and depraved Natures? |
| A47605 | Do you not place that Vertue in an external Rite, that only belongs to the Blood of Christ, and sanctifying Grace of God''s Spirit? |
| A47605 | Do you not positively now confess by the order of the words in the Commission, Teaching ought to go before Baptizing? |
| A47605 | Do you think there is not need that Infant- Baptism should be mentioned in the holy Scripture, had it been a Truth? |
| A47605 | Does Christ own Infants to be Subjects of his Kingdom, and yet did not baptize them? |
| A47605 | Does God give himself, all he is, and all he has, to every Believer, and to all his fleshly Seed? |
| A47605 | Doth Christ( say you) take Children into his Arms, and shall his Church cast them out of her Imbraces? |
| A47605 | Doth not History tell us the Fathers used other Rites also, and that in Baptism? |
| A47605 | Doth not our blessed Saviour say, that they had made void the Commandments of God through their Traditions? |
| A47605 | Doth not the Apostle declare, that a general Apostacy from the true Apostolical Faith and Doctrine would after his days ensue? |
| A47605 | Doth this Text, in the order of words, say, John taught Persons to be baptized, and then to repent? |
| A47605 | For who shall put a Bound to Mens feigning Analogies, when they go beyond the Lord''s Precepts, and the Apostles Examples? |
| A47605 | God will have Mercy, and not Sacrifice? |
| A47605 | Had God given the Jews any such Law or Precept? |
| A47605 | Had God required Infants to be baptized, who could argue against their being capable of it? |
| A47605 | Had it been such a Pond as you say, do you suppose we would have baptized People in it, in the open sight of such a mixt Multitude? |
| A47605 | Had it been the constant Custom of the Godly to baptize Infants, would not these, think you, have been in their Infancy baptized? |
| A47605 | Had it not been in the words of his Commission, durst he, think you, have done it? |
| A47605 | Have all their Children, or every one of them, Christ, Grace, Holiness here, and Glory and eternal Happiness hereafter? |
| A47605 | Have they kept their Vow and Covenant? |
| A47605 | How dare you change a Divine Institution of Jesus Christ? |
| A47605 | How far did some of the Jews go to worship God at Jerusalem? |
| A47605 | How is it then that the Apostle Paul says, The Law is not of Faith; also the Covenant of Grace giveth Life? |
| A47605 | How little is the Institution of Christ, or Practice of the Primitive Churches, minded by many good Men? |
| A47605 | How now, are you wiser than the Church? |
| A47605 | How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
| A47605 | How then could the dying Infants of the Godly, who lived before that Covenant was made with Abraham, be saved? |
| A47605 | How were they broken off? |
| A47605 | I answer first of all, that your Argument is not true in form; Is Circumcision in your Minor? |
| A47605 | I answer, first, how inconsistent is this with what just before you asserted? |
| A47605 | I demand,( say you now) whether any one can truly say, that this Action was insignificant to the Child, because he did not understand it? |
| A47605 | I wonder( as I have formerly said) what Faith''t is you suppose to be in Infants: When will your Trumpet give a certain Sound? |
| A47605 | I would know how you prove Baptism to be the Medicine appointed to cure the Soul of the Plague of Sin? |
| A47605 | If not thus, how can it be Cruelty, yea Murder, in Parents, to deny the Application of Baptism to their Children? |
| A47605 | If not, do you not heap up a Multitude of Evils upon them, and hereby make their Condition worse, or aggravate their Sin and Misery for ever? |
| A47605 | If only conditionally, 〈 ◊ 〉 ● ● ther Privilege have they then 〈 ◊ 〉 the Children of Unbelievers? |
| A47605 | If so, why were not they Circumcised? |
| A47605 | If the Parents Faith will serve for the Child, why not the Parents Baptism serve for the Child as well? |
| A47605 | If these Men speak right or truly, what a Multitude in thee have been made to enter into this Covenant, who never performed it? |
| A47605 | If you do not say this, why do you affirm, that the Children of Believers were always, or ever in Covenant as well as their Parents? |
| A47605 | If you insist not on internal Privileges, nor on external Privileges that are sealed to Infants that are baptized, what does their Baptism signify? |
| A47605 | If you would include the Controversy, ought you not to have said, All they who? |
| A47605 | In some shallow Rivolets, we daily see, that in some Places the Water is deep: and might it not be so in that? |
| A47605 | Is it not sad, that you should give cause to your Children to think they are guilty of Perjury? |
| A47605 | Is it not said, They went both down into the Water, both Philip and the Eunuch, and he( that is, Philip) baptized or dipped him? |
| A47605 | Is it then a shameful Scandal to neglect a Tradition of Man? |
| A47605 | Is not God''s Word to be our Rule in all Points of Faith and Practice, to the End of the World? |
| A47605 | Is not the Son of a Free- man a Free- man as well as his Father? |
| A47605 | Is not the Woman comprehended as clearly as the Man? |
| A47605 | Is not the whole Mind of Jesus Christ, even all his Laws and Precepts, or his whole Counsel plainly contained in his blessed Word? |
| A47605 | Is not this to blind the Eyes of poor People, and make them think that an external Ordinance saves the Soul? |
| A47605 | Is not this to heal the hurt of your People slightly, and to cry, Peace, Peace, when there is no Peace? |
| A47605 | Is this an Answer? |
| A47605 | Is this indeed the Love you Pedo- baptists have to your poor Infants? |
| A47605 | Know ye not that so many of you that have been baptized into Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
| A47605 | Might not I state another Argument as good as yours, nay, may be better, yet both prove nothing? |
| A47605 | Must we believe God''s Word, or a lying Traveller? |
| A47605 | Nay, and were it so, all that are baptized would be saved; Shall one Soul who passes through Regeneration miss of Salvation? |
| A47605 | Nay, if 〈 ◊ 〉 was by my Great- Grandfather, will not that do, as well as if my mo ● ● 〈 ◊ 〉 Father was ▪ in Covenant with God? |
| A47605 | Nay, may be they might say they had not the other to do it, and therefore built their Altars of Brick: but would this Pretence do? |
| A47605 | Nay, more, be so bold as to say, these are more useful, and answer better the End of God, than those which he himself instituted? |
| A47605 | Nay, or that it was made to Abraham''s Spiritual Seed? |
| A47605 | Nevertheless, which saith the Scripture? |
| A47605 | Now how doth this appear in Infants as such, as it does in Believers? |
| A47605 | Now must this be a Covenant of Faith or Grace? |
| A47605 | Now what Arminianism is here fomented, if once you say or think they are capable to perform this Obligation? |
| A47605 | Now what need is there that the same thing be repeated over again in the New- Testament? |
| A47605 | Now( say you) is not this a pure Gospel- Phrase, and shews it to be a Covenant with Abraham in Christ? |
| A47605 | O Sir, what Priviledges had the Gentiles or their Children then? |
| A47605 | Or a dogmatical Faith only, as in Mr. Blake''s sense? |
| A47605 | Or are you not to be justly blamed thus to jumble things confusedly together? |
| A47605 | Or is it an imputative Faith from the Parents, as Musculus, you, and others maintain? |
| A47605 | Or is it the Faith of the Gossips or Sureties, as your Church says, i. e. others believe for them? |
| A47605 | Or is not Original Pollution a Filth of the Flesh? |
| A47605 | Or might there not be a great Confluence of Water then,( as Dr. Hammond words it) and yet but little or shallow Water now, or when Sandys was there? |
| A47605 | Or, dare you say, our New Testament is not authentick, or sufficient to teach us the whole of Gospel- Duties and Obedience, without the Jewish Talmud? |
| A47605 | Or, doth it follow, because the Clothes were buried, the Body of the Man or Woman was not buried also? |
| A47605 | Or, were they Infants that Christ is said to carry in his Bosom? |
| A47605 | Ought not we to keep the Ordinances as they were first instituted and given to the Saints? |
| A47605 | Ought 〈 ◊ 〉, nay, may they lawfully M ● rry, this being considered, and such drea ● ● ul 〈 ◊ 〉 following? |
| A47605 | Pray, did God by Moses give forth any Law, or positive Rite or Precept so darkly, that it could not be proved but by Consequences? |
| A47605 | Pray, was that Custom among the Jews, of Baptizing Infants, when any of the Gentiles were admitted into the Jewish Church, commanded of God? |
| A47605 | Pray, what became of the Jews Female Infants, were they damned? |
| A47605 | Reply; How doth it appear the Infants of the Godly before Abraham''s time, had any right to visible Church- Membership? |
| A47605 | Should we not all unite together in Love and Affection, and strive to promote Peace and Concord, and not tear one another in pieces after this manner? |
| A47605 | Should you dictate to your earthly Prince, would he allow it? |
| A47605 | Sir, What think you now of the Testimony of the Ancient Fathers, and of the Practice of the Churches after the Apostles days? |
| A47605 | Sir, must we believe it is so, because you speak and write it? |
| A47605 | Sir, what think you now of your Jewish Custom, of baptizing the Heathens and their Children who were admitted to their Church? |
| A47605 | Sir, who questions the Power of God, who is a free Agent, and may do what he pleases? |
| A47605 | Sir, you are to be rectified, Do we deny the Omnipotency of the holy Spirit? |
| A47605 | Speak; Doth Baptism take away Original Sin, or free them of that Malady, or not? |
| A47605 | That Sin by the Commandment( or Law) might become exceeding sinful? |
| A47605 | The Apostle resolves them, that they ought not; for, saith he, The unbelieving Wife is sanctified to the believing Husband: how sanctified? |
| A47605 | Therefore we are buried with him in Baptism, into his Death,& c. Else what shall they do, that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not? |
| A47605 | This is like the rest: But, Sir, by what Authority do you assert all these things? |
| A47605 | To contemn this Order, is to contemn the Rules of all Order; for where can we find it, if not here? |
| A47605 | To which I reply ▪ How dare any Man to seal the Covenant of Salvation to such, who have not that Faith Abraham had before he received that Seal? |
| A47605 | To whom shall I give Credit, to Eliezar, who asserts what the Scripture confirms; or to Joshua, who affirms what is no where to be found in Scripture? |
| A47605 | VVere not the Saints to keep the Ordinances( and commanded so to do) as they were first delivered to them? |
| A47605 | Was ever any Man thus bold before? |
| A47605 | Was not Baptism in full force from the time that John received it from Heaven, and administred it on the People? |
| A47605 | Was not Simon Magus baptized? |
| A47605 | Was the Royal Grant made so, that it included Ishmael and Esau? |
| A47605 | Was this the Privilege of any save Abraham only? |
| A47605 | We ought to go to the Original Copy, to the Primitive, or first Institution and Practice; Is not Christ''s Precept our only Rule? |
| A47605 | Were it not thus, how could we deny or oppose the Papists seven Sacraments? |
| A47605 | Were not the Jews Female Children saved? |
| A47605 | Were the Promises and Priviledges of the Covenant of Grace belonging to them? |
| A47605 | Were there none among the Gentiles, think you, in the Old- Testament- time, that were Believers and Godly Persons? |
| A47605 | Were there not many other Rites and Ordinances under the Law, or Old Testament, besides Circumcision? |
| A47605 | Were they in Covenant, as they are the Natural- Seed of Believers? |
| A47605 | What Advantage then hath th ● Jew? |
| A47605 | What Credit is to be given to such Fathers? |
| A47605 | What Figure of a Burial of Christ, or of the Old Man, is there in sprinkling a few Drops of Water on a Person''s Face? |
| A47605 | What can be a more full Confutation of what you affirm? |
| A47605 | What can be more plain? |
| A47605 | What difference is there between much Water, and many Waters? |
| A47605 | What if I agree with the last, and say, Abraham is the Root? |
| A47605 | What if 〈 ◊ 〉 that no Ordinance succeeds in the room of Circumcision? |
| A47605 | What is not commanded, I say again, is forbid, especially in all Instituted Worship, or else whither shall we run? |
| A47605 | What is this your Argument good for? |
| A47605 | What need we have Wine? |
| A47605 | What saith Almighty God? |
| A47605 | What then, were not Grave- Clothes always buried with the Person that was laid in the Grave? |
| A47605 | What then? |
| A47605 | What then? |
| A47605 | What though the one be a Sacrament of Initiation, and the other of Confirmation? |
| A47605 | What 〈 ◊ 〉 had there been for them so to have done, had Baptism been Sprinkling? |
| A47605 | When God commanded Abraham to circumcise on the eighth day, did he not virtually forbid him to do it on the seventh or ninth day? |
| A47605 | Where are we forbid to baptize Bells, and consecrate Water, as the Papists do to make it holy Water? |
| A47605 | Where is the Spirit of Reformation? |
| A47605 | Where is the extream Vnction forbid, or Auricular Confession, or to use Beads in Prayer, and a hundred more such Romish Popperies? |
| A47605 | Whether the Children of Belie ● ● rs are in the Covenant of Grace absolutely, or but conditionally? |
| A47605 | Whether the being the male Children of Abraham, as such, gave them a right to Circumcision, or not rather the mere positive Command of God to Abraham? |
| A47605 | Whither will this lead you? |
| A47605 | Who commanded you this way to dedicate your Children to the Lord? |
| A47605 | Who taught you thus to argue, what do you prove? |
| A47605 | Why do you not from hence give Infants the Lord''s Supper? |
| A47605 | Why do you say of no Rite but this? |
| A47605 | Why may not the Infants of Unbelievers have the same habitual Faith, as well as the Infants of Believers? |
| A47605 | Why might not Ministers plead for all their Sons to have right to the Ministry, since that Priviledg was given them in the Old- Testament? |
| A47605 | Why our Saviour did not particularly name Infants when he instituted Baptism in the room of Circumcision? |
| A47605 | Will you make Baptism their Saviour? |
| A47605 | Will you teach him Wisdom? |
| A47605 | Will you, Sir, build your practice of baptizing of little Babes from such uncertain Conclusions, when''t is uncertain whether she had Children or no? |
| A47605 | Would it not be a miraculous thing to see a Babe of two or ten days old, to have such Knowledg of God and of Jesus Christ? |
| A47605 | You ask many Questions, Why may not this be so: and, Why may not that be so? |
| A47605 | You have no Warrant to baptize a Child; but who of the Anabaptists ever said such words as you here mention? |
| A47605 | You may after this rate bring them under an hundred Engagements and Covenants, nay, may be more plausible ones too, may you not? |
| A47605 | You may be as capable to be a Justice of Peace( as far as I know) as you are to be a Preacher? |
| A47605 | You say the Church of England is for Infant- Baptism, Article 27. also the French, Dutch, Bohemian, Helvetian Churches: What of all this? |
| A47605 | You say, the Adult are here intended; we say so too: Whither then will you go for your Infants Right to Baptism? |
| A47605 | and did not Christ, by the hands of his Disciples, baptize many Persons? |
| A47605 | and do you not acknowledg in the Primitive Times, and in hot Countries, Baptism was done by Dipping? |
| A47605 | and do you say, the Ordinance better suits with ignorant Babes? |
| A47605 | and his own Practice our sure and certain Pattern? |
| A47605 | and shall the Church refuse to receive all such into her Imbraces? |
| A47605 | are these thy Teachers, O England?] |
| A47605 | as Members of the visible Church, what ground have you to believe God will hear you, since he never made them Members thereof? |
| A47605 | but if it were so, Do you think it was their Duty to circumcise them? |
| A47605 | but if they do not do it, woe be to them? |
| A47605 | but what Root? |
| A47605 | ca n''t you take a Woman by the Hand without having unclean Thoughts in your Heart? |
| A47605 | can Baptism save them? |
| A47605 | can Infants do that? |
| A47605 | change his Law and holy Ordinance, and substitute another thing in its stead and room? |
| A47605 | dare you accuse your Neighbours falsly? |
| A47605 | doth he require you so to do? |
| A47605 | doth it not belong to the Gentiles too? |
| A47605 | is it then in the Power of Parents to save or damn their Children? |
| A47605 | is not the case mended with us? |
| A47605 | is this Sin the damning Sin? |
| A47605 | may these things be therefore done? |
| A47605 | may you therefore give forth Warrants, and exercise that Office? |
| A47605 | must all that die in their Infancy go to Hell for an Impossibility? |
| A47605 | nay, more Disciples than John? |
| A47605 | no not from the time of John Baptist, to the Death of John the Evangelist? |
| A47605 | or condemn Salt, Oil Spittle to be used in Baptism, which they use in it, seeing these are not forbid? |
| A47605 | or do you pray God would work Miracles? |
| A47605 | or if he does, who will or can believe him? |
| A47605 | or if she had, whether they were with her at that time or not? |
| A47605 | or take His great Ordinance and Sacrament of Baptism from the superstitious, fabulous and erronious Custom of their Doctors and Rabbins? |
| A47605 | or they have been born with, in pleading, it might as well answer Circumcision in Signification? |
| A47605 | or what Profit is there in Circumcision? |
| A47605 | or what Representation is there in that Act of a Resurrection? |
| A47605 | or what Seal had they? |
| A47605 | or who made that a Channel of Grace to dying Infants? |
| A47605 | or, are you wiser than he? |
| A47605 | pray, was not that a hot Country? |
| A47605 | set Baptizing before Teaching? |
| A47605 | sure, as considered in themselves, they are: and why then may they not be baptized also? |
| A47605 | that they ought to baptize their Children, who did not know nor ever heard of that Jewish Custom? |
| A47605 | that those Men and Women who were baptized, did subject to Laying on of Hands, being Believers, as such? |
| A47605 | the Church came together on the first Day of the Week to break Bread? |
| A47605 | the truth is, if Circumcision availed nothing, but was a Yoke of Bondage, then why should that stumble them? |
| A47605 | they were not circumcised; and were not their Male Infants saved, who died before the eighth Day? |
| A47605 | was it not in Judea, the same Country our Saviour lived when on Earth? |
| A47605 | was that a Mark to know he was a Sheep of Christ? |
| A47605 | was that the thing, or is it not another Act? |
| A47605 | were but Infants capable of Knowledg, how much would they dread being born of wicked Parents? |
| A47605 | what Priviledge of the Church do you allow them? |
| A47605 | what hopes hath the impious prophane and ungodly Parent of the Salvation of his dying Children? |
| A47605 | what is the difference between Holy and sanctified? |
| A47605 | which Blessing belonged to them under the Law, and also plead for the Tenths and First- fruits? |
| A47605 | whither would this lead us? |
| A47605 | why did you not put in the Church of Rome with them? |
| A47605 | why the Faith of the immediate Parents? |
| A47509 | ''T is far below your noble extract thus To stand amaz''d; is there no pow''r in us, For to revive our scattered force? |
| A47509 | ''T was I which did thy being to thee give: How many Subjects dost each day receive From me and mine? |
| A47509 | ''t is a thing more worth than all the rest: How, how can then the value be exprest? |
| A47509 | A Box of Ointment''s worth, in thy esteem, Three hundred pence; and dost thou value him Not to amount in worth''bove the Tenth part? |
| A47509 | A glorious Crown and Kingdom to forsake, That he his bed might on a Dunghil make? |
| A47509 | A sweet is,( What?) |
| A47509 | Accus''d as guilty of some grievous fact, Who thoughtst no Evil, none didst ever act? |
| A47509 | Again, what''s Sin? |
| A47509 | Again, what''s Sin? |
| A47509 | Again, what''s sin? |
| A47509 | Ah doth thy hardned Brow, Not made at first to wrinkle, wrinkle now? |
| A47509 | Alas, saith Reason, do not all men sin? |
| A47509 | And all this for a Creature poor and vile, A Traiterous Vagabond, and in Exile? |
| A47509 | And art thou such a fool to hug a Snake, And in thy breast such great provision make, That it may harbour there both day and night? |
| A47509 | And bring a blot for ever on thy name? |
| A47509 | And by, what means shall his dear Blood be shed? |
| A47509 | And can one think, if the Disciples durst Attempt that thing, they should have stript him first? |
| A47509 | And darest thou, O Soul, conceal this Foe? |
| A47509 | And did I bear it all for love to thee? |
| A47509 | And dost thou love to play with such a thing? |
| A47509 | And dost thou think thou shalt escape this fate? |
| A47509 | And doth the Son i''th midst of Enemies Yield up himself to be a Sacrifice? |
| A47509 | And how came she into so sad a Case, That once adorned was with so much Grace? |
| A47509 | And ignorant be when guilty of high Treason? |
| A47509 | And is thy mind on folly wholly bent? |
| A47509 | And may not all this thy Love to me procure? |
| A47509 | And must I still be kept out of thy door? |
| A47509 | And my celestial Kingdom leave for thee? |
| A47509 | And sensual Objects harbour''d in thy heart? |
| A47509 | And shall I be unfaithful unto thee? |
| A47509 | And shall I''gainst my fancy foolishly admire, Where I no beauty see to tempt desire? |
| A47509 | And shall not I lament, nor shed a Tear? |
| A47509 | And those be kill''d Which so much pleasure unto me afford? |
| A47509 | And unto him wilt thou no kindness show? |
| A47509 | And were my feet and hands nail''d to the Tree, Whilst my dear Father hid his Face from me? |
| A47509 | And what Creature is this must have possession Of such a glorious Heart? |
| A47509 | And who can pity thee? |

| A47509 | Awake, why do I sleep? |
| A47509 | Away he goes, resolv''d the work to do: A work, Lord, did I say? |
| A47509 | BUT to proceed, Will you lift up your Eyes, And view the Rage of Hellish Enemies? |
| A47509 | Besides all this, much more I have to boast: Which of the Champions of thy Earthly Host Have I not overcome, and put to flight? |
| A47509 | Besides, were they asleep, how could they tell What things there came to pass, or what befell? |
| A47509 | But here t is like some may desire to know The cause why he abas''d himself so low? |
| A47509 | But it is gone? |
| A47509 | But some may ask, Why th''people of that Land Did rise against him thus on every hand? |
| A47509 | But some''t is like may ask a question here, Unto what Parts or Region did he steer? |
| A47509 | But tell me, if it may n''t too tedious prove, Whether this Prince that manifests such Love, Knew her sad state when he came from above? |
| A47509 | But thus''t was not with the blest Prince of Light; What can be hid from Great Jehovah''s sight? |
| A47509 | But to proceed — how can my spirits hold? |

| A47509 | But why didst thou into a Garden go Thus to encounter with the hellish Foe? |
| A47509 | But why, said I, distrest? |
| A47509 | But will you hear How things are carry''d, how they manag''d are? |
| A47509 | But wilt thou view the wound That''s made in me? |
| A47509 | But, how was he expos''d, what did they do? |
| A47509 | Ca n''t strength subdue? |
| A47509 | Ca n''t subtilty deceive? |
| A47509 | Can I believe things''bove my sense and reason? |
| A47509 | Can Infinite Perfections be exprest? |
| A47509 | Can any joy and sweetness be like this? |
| A47509 | Can any think the God o''th Universe Would be unfaithful, as to change the course Of Nature, meerly to assert a Lye? |
| A47509 | Can the great Prince of Earth and Heaven feel Such heavy strokes, as thus to make him reel? |
| A47509 | Can the kind Heavens do a damage greater, Than to destroy and ruin their poor Creature? |
| A47509 | Can thine imperfect Righteousness to come, Discharge of by- past ills, so vast a sum? |

| A47509 | Can worldly Comforts raise thee to such bliss? |
| A47509 | Can''st thou dost think, God''s fearful vengeance bear? |

| A47509 | Christ is the Judge, And to repeat his Sentence who can grudge? |
| A47509 | Come from his Father''s Bosom where he lay, To be the Wolves and Dragons chiefest prey? |
| A47509 | Could Devils offer God a worse Disgrace? |
| A47509 | Could man or Angel ev''r have born all this, And not have been cast down to th''deepst Abyss? |
| A47509 | Could none keep out the light? |
| A47509 | Could not that charming, Melody above, Allure thy thoughts and, hinder thy remove? |
| A47509 | Dar''st, dar''st adventure still to live in Sin? |
| A47509 | Delays are dangerous, Devils well know that: But why need they Grim Satan instigate? |
| A47509 | Destroy my Pow''r, and tread my Kingdom down? |
| A47509 | Did Abraham''s Servant readily comply With his Command with great''st fidelity? |
| A47509 | Did I Man''s humane nature freely take? |
| A47509 | Did I engage the cruel''st of all Foes? |
| A47509 | Did I from men and Devils meet with blows? |
| A47509 | Did I my bed in a poor Manger make? |
| A47509 | Did I not suffer to dissolve the knot Between thee and all Lust? |
| A47509 | Did I such kind of tortures undergoe Which men nor Angels ca n''t conceive or know? |
| A47509 | Did Wrath pursue, and Justice fall on me? |
| A47509 | Did ever Lover go so far from Home To seek a Spouse? |
| A47509 | Did ever creature deal thus by a Lover, Or ever such inhumaneness discover? |
| A47509 | Did he not gripe thee sorely for thy pain? |

| A47509 | Do not his Works, and his most glorious Name, His blessed Nature unto all proclaim? |
| A47509 | Do not the Conduits through all streets combine, In stead of Water, wholly to run Wine? |
| A47509 | Dost know, grim Tyrant, who''t is thou treadst down? |
| A47509 | Dost not perceive the sad state thou art in By curs''d Apollyon, and his off- spring, SIN? |
| A47509 | Dost not perceive what I for thee endure? |
| A47509 | Dost not thou tremble at this frightful news? |
| A47509 | Dost not, O Soul, deserve for this to die? |
| A47509 | Dost see thy state, thy bloody state? |
| A47509 | Dost think the Law can help thee? |
| A47509 | Dost thou more good in that soul Brat espy, Than is in all the glorious Trinitie? |
| A47509 | Doth Conscience yield? |
| A47509 | Doth not her Soul dissolve then into tears, With thoughts of him who freed her from all fears? |
| A47509 | Doth not the Trumpet sound, And Joy and melody sweetly abound I''th hearts of all, who heard of this good News? |
| A47509 | Doth she not wait? |
| A47509 | Doth this not with thy present purpose suit? |
| A47509 | Fearfully am I made: how canst tell? |
| A47509 | For had a man ten thousand worlds to lose: The loss of them far better had he chose, Than lose his soul, why would you think it strange? |
| A47509 | For what is Sin, is''t not a deadly evil, The filthy spawn and off- spring of the Devil? |
| A47509 | From ruling men and Devils, now to be Tempted by both of them, scarce ever free? |
| A47509 | From whence is it? |
| A47509 | Great slaughters there will be in my small Isle, For without bloud be sure this fearful broil Will never cease; which side now shall I take? |
| A47509 | Has he on Earth any such spightful Foe, As dare''s attempt this''mazing thing to do? |
| A47509 | Has he so much esteemed thee? |
| A47509 | Has none found out a way to make him yield, And either by fraud or force to quit the Field? |
| A47509 | Hast any kindness for me in thine Heart? |
| A47509 | Hast thou forgot, or knowst thou not, mine eyes Have been enlight''ned? |
| A47509 | Hast thou no other Bait, nor weapon got? |
| A47509 | Hast, hast thou suck''d this deadly poison in, And dost not see thy vital parts begin To swell? |
| A47509 | Hath she not slighted Christ, like unto those That him reject, and cleave unto his Foes? |
| A47509 | Have I with joy, delight, and chearful heart Indur''d all this excessive pain and smart, And out of precious love to thee I bore? |
| A47509 | Have not the Mighty fallen by my hand, Enforc''d to yeild to me in every Land? |
| A47509 | Have you not brought him then? |
| A47509 | He resteth in his love; and who can turn His heart away, or damp those flames that burn In his dear breast? |

| A47509 | How did they carry''t to him, or how use This lovely One, whom Angels do adore, And Glorious Seraphims fall down before? |
| A47509 | How fain would he Majestick Steps have trod, And worship''d be, nay worship''d by a God? |
| A47509 | How have they sung with flames about their Ears, Contemning pains, regardless of all fears? |
| A47509 | How heavy is that stroke, how sharp that Rod, That''s lifted up by men, laid on by God? |

| A47509 | I doubt that still thou the same Creature art Thou wast before? |
| A47509 | I faint, my Spirits quite decay, And yet I can not die: O who can stay My sinking Soul, whilst I these sorrows feel? |
| A47509 | I hitherto, saith she, have been deprest; What shall I do, how may I be at rest? |
| A47509 | I offer up to thee; M ● ● they atone for mine Iniquity? |
| A47509 | I prethee hark; Did he not bleed, and die upon the Tree Thee to redeem from all iniquitie, And that to him thou shouldst espoused be? |
| A47509 | I prethee who To such a Traytor will compassion show? |
| A47509 | I stand ama ●''d ● what guilt is on thy head? |

| A47509 | Is Greatness barren quite of solid joys? |
| A47509 | Is he betray''d to Death? |
| A47509 | Is it not plain he can do what he list, Who holds the mighty Winds as in his fist? |
| A47509 | Is love to Sin, and filthy Lust so sweet, That Jesus must be trodden under feet? |
| A47509 | Is she inflamed, is she all on fire In love to him, who out of love did die, Her to espouse, and save Eternally? |

| A47509 | MY patience''s not yet tyr''d, my bowels move, With bended knees shall I now gain thy love To Jesus Christ? |
| A47509 | May''st thou in Christ''s dear Arms and Bosom lie? |
| A47509 | Might not the shortness of this Conflict yield Thee some Relief? |
| A47509 | Must I be forc''d, by Conscience to imbrace One whom I can not love? |
| A47509 | Must gainful Lusts, and those which honour''s yield, At once be put to th''Sword? |

| A47509 | So rich a Jewel lost? |
| A47509 | Soul, is''t thee? |
| A47509 | Soul, now thou must be anathematiz''d; And when Christ comes, how wilt thou be surpriz''d? |

| A47509 | 〈 … 〉 And for what end should he from Heaven come, If not to execute on us that Doom Which Heav''n long since decreed? |
| A47591 | & c. Was it in his Mind that Infants should be baptized, and yet say nothing of it, because it was a common Custom and Practice among the Jews? |
| A47591 | ''T is strange the Apostles should preach to little Children, o ● … er Christ to them, what preach Christ to the Infant in the Cradle? |
| A47591 | ( You say) God can easily give holy Qualities to the Souls of Children: Can not God restore his own Image to little Children? |
| A47591 | ( for that he did not) and shall we attempt to baptize them, as if we were wiser than he? |
| A47591 | ( i. e. one Wife) yet he had the residue of the Spirit; and wherefore one? |
| A47591 | ( say you) that Rebecca went down into the Well, Does it follow that she was plunged in it? |
| A47591 | 1, 2. and was not Circumcision then in full force too, and so abode till Christ took it away by nailing it with all other Jewish Rites to his Cross? |
| A47591 | 11, 12, 13. and will any Man, says he, yea will Paul ascribe all this to those that did not so much as profess the things signified? |
| A47591 | 11. and will he not care for his Lambs and Weaklings of his Flock? |
| A47591 | 13. before we Believed, this was our Condition, and are not our Children naturally in this state? |
| A47591 | 13? |
| A47591 | 16. and how is that Covenant a ground of strong Consolation to all the Heirs of the Promise? |
| A47591 | 18. and doth not this open likewise a Door to any other like innovation? |
| A47591 | 19. where sprinkling is mentioned? |
| A47591 | 4. Who gave Men power to change his Commission, Baptizing into Rantizing or Sprinkling? |
| A47591 | 4. for the Promises of God belonged to them; but if the Covenant be shortened in Privileges, how is it a better Covenant? |
| A47591 | 5. and is not the Promise sure to all the seed? |
| A47591 | 6,& c. But, say you, if the Children of the Faithful are excluded from the Covenant, then the Covenant is worse, and not a better Covenant? |
| A47591 | Also where are Infants excluded from the Lord''s- Table? |
| A47591 | Also who of us could say when our Servant- Maid went to draw Water, or fetch Water from a River, she went into the River? |
| A47591 | And are not you in Union with that Church, and all Churches that own Infant Baptism in the World? |
| A47591 | And can it be thought he refused little Children? |
| A47591 | And did he make one? |
| A47591 | And did not Christ by his Disciples baptize many Persons, nay more Disciples than John? |
| A47591 | And doth not St. Paul assert the same thing? |
| A47591 | And has God made such a Covenant with you, or with any Believer now? |
| A47591 | And how came Baptism to have such power in it? |
| A47591 | And if so, why dare any now a days admit of Infants, who are uncapable to make profession? |
| A47591 | And if this be considered, what doth this Text do to prove the Natural Seed of Believers, as such, are in the Gospel- Covenant? |
| A47591 | And if this be so, wo to the poor Babes of unbelievers, must they be all Damned? |
| A47591 | And shall the Church refuse to receive all such into her Imbraces? |
| A47591 | And to these Customs the Apostle alludes, when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
| A47591 | And why this Privilege only? |
| A47591 | And will any Man,( saith he,) yea will Paul, ascribe all this to those that did not profess the things signified, or the necessary Condition? |
| A47591 | And with shame you may speak it, unless you had Authority to Christ so to do: Who hath required this thing 〈 ◊ 〉 our Hands? |
| A47591 | Another may say, what Sin have our Sons committed, that this great priviledge is denyed them, since Christ came? |
| A47591 | Are Infants capable to hear the Word, and partake of the Sacraments? |
| A47591 | Are Infants fruitful to Christ? |
| A47591 | Are Infants of Believers, as such, the Seed of Christ, and in the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47591 | Are all the Infants of Believers given unto Christ, and so not of this World? |
| A47591 | Are all their Children elected, and none but theirs? |
| A47591 | Are his Bowels straitned towards them? |
| A47591 | Are not all Men in the VVorld, especially where the Gospel is preached, in or under the outward Dispensation of the Gospel, or Covenant of Grace? |
| A47591 | Are not all the infants of Believers regenerated, and in Covenant with God? |
| A47591 | Are not many Children of Unbelievers elected? |
| A47591 | Are not the Saints to be all Volunteers? |
| A47591 | Are not they and all others told, that old things are passed away, and all things are become new? |
| A47591 | Are not we and our Children distinct Persons? |
| A47591 | Are our Infants Lambs in Christ''s Fold, or feeble and afflicted Christians in Christ''s Spiritual Family? |
| A47591 | Are there not many Children of Unbelievers elected? |
| A47591 | Are they little Infants that Promise refers to, i. e. Thy Children shall be all taught of God? |
| A47591 | Are they not Spiritual Blessings? |
| A47591 | Are you an Arminian? |
| A47591 | As if he had said, If there be no Resurrection, why are we baptized? |
| A47591 | As to your second Reason, Do all the Children of Believers that die go to Heaven? |
| A47591 | Baptism washes not away the filth of the Flesh; Or is not Original Pollution a filth of the Flesh? |
| A47591 | Baptism? |
| A47591 | Because he can not prove Infant Baptism from Arguments from Heaven will he go for Arguments to prove it to be Christs Ordinance taken from Hell? |
| A47591 | Because you know not upon when the Election falleth, it is the Will of God that you should baptize all that are under the Promise? |
| A47591 | Besides, Do you think it never rained upon the ● … ites before they passed through the Sea? |
| A47591 | Besides, did not the same Fathers hold other Errors? |
| A47591 | Besides, the Baptismal Vow you brought them under being not by God''s Appointment, what Blessing can you expect from thence? |
| A47591 | Besides, was Baptism to be preached or practised by none but the Jewish People? |
| A47591 | Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the case; and will not God one day say, who has required these things at your hands? |
| A47591 | Brethren, Can any think that Abraham could purchase Men with Money, and that way bring them into the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47591 | But Sir, by what Authority do you assert all these things? |
| A47591 | But alas, how few are there of that sort? |
| A47591 | But can any think this Promise is limited to the Carnal Seed of Believers or runs so? |
| A47591 | But do you baptize no Children of Believers but such that die? |
| A47591 | But doth Baptism therefore belong to them all? |
| A47591 | But doth Mr. Owen think, that all the Children of the Faithful, as such, are the Seed or Children of the Second- Adam? |
| A47591 | But how can you prove Baptism washes your Infants from Sin? |
| A47591 | But how do they prove it? |
| A47591 | But how will it appear that they( i. e. that Children) are holy, say you? |
| A47591 | But is it so indeed, did our Saviour say nothing of Infant Baptism? |
| A47591 | But is not this next to Blasphemy? |
| A47591 | But now can the Infant- Seed of Believers, as such, be said to be the Seed of Abraham in any of these four respects? |
| A47591 | But now, because there were so many Additions of the Gospel- Promise and new Covenant, are there so many new Covenants? |
| A47591 | But since he speaks the quite contrary, who shall we believe, you, or the great Apostle of the Gentiles? |
| A47591 | But the Rabbins upheld Joshua''s Side, and what Wonder was it? |
| A47591 | But the worst is behind, who is it you cast this reproach upon? |
| A47591 | But well saith Tertullian, Is it lawful because''t is not forbidden? |
| A47591 | But were not the Beasts and the Fowls baptized and saved by the Ark as well as Noah and his Children, and his Son Cham? |
| A47591 | But what Root? |
| A47591 | But what is the purport of this Argument of yours for Infant- Baptism? |
| A47591 | But what is this to their Children, as such, or to the positive Right any of our Infants have to Baptism? |
| A47591 | But what of this? |
| A47591 | But what stress do you lay upon Baptism? |
| A47591 | But, Sir, is the Gospel Covenant worse than that Legal Covenant, because we and our Children have not such Promises and external Privileges? |
| A47591 | But, Sir, what''s this to the Business? |
| A47591 | But, pray, what must the Gentiles do to know this to be their Duty? |
| A47591 | But, what tho? |
| A47591 | Ca n''t you take a Woman dressed in modest and decent Cloaths by the Hand, without having an unclean thought in your Heart? |
| A47591 | Can Baptism save them, And is it so indeed? |
| A47591 | Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required? |
| A47591 | Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers, and yet Baptism an Ordinance of the Souls Marriage with Christ? |
| A47591 | Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers, and yet Baptism call''d the Answer of a good Conscience? |
| A47591 | Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers? |
| A47591 | Can Infants be willing? |
| A47591 | Can Infants do that? |
| A47591 | Can Parents by baptizing their Infants save them? |
| A47591 | Can a little Babe answer a good Conscience by being baptized in Obedience to Christ, and to shew forth his Death and Resurrection? |
| A47591 | Can an humane Rite or Tradition, think you, save poor Children, or a little Water sprinkled on the Face, wash away Original Sin? |
| A47591 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized? |
| A47591 | Can any Man in his right Wits think our Lord Jesus should confirm a Tradition and Innovation of the Jews? |
| A47591 | Can any Perish that are in the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47591 | Can not God save dying Infants unless they were included in the Covenant made with Abraham? |
| A47591 | Can such that are no more Strangers to God,& c. ever perish? |
| A47591 | Can that be an useful thing that frustrates the Sacred and Spiritual ends of Baptism? |
| A47591 | Can that be of any use to an Infant which you, nor no Man else can prove from Gods Word, to have any use and Blessing in it to them? |
| A47591 | Can that have any usefulness in it, that brings guilt upon the Parents in doing it, making them guilty of Will, Worship, or of a humane Tradition? |
| A47591 | Can they bring forth Twins? |
| A47591 | Can those that are the Children of the Covenant of Grace, cease to be such? |
| A47591 | Can those things for which you have made this division, justifie your Sel ● ● m? |
| A47591 | Can we suppose she carried her little Babes so far to Market? |
| A47591 | Can you be so ignorant as to affirm, this Covenant- Contract made with Abraham, was made with the Natural Seed of believing Gentiles? |
| A47591 | Certainly all may easily see it: Doth it not tend to prove that all ungodly and unbelieving Men and Women are to be baptized as well as Infants? |
| A47591 | Christ, no doubt, came to save some of all sorts of Men, and who doubts but he came to save Infants, and little ones, Young and Old? |
| A47591 | Command was to Males, and on the eighth day? |
| A47591 | Could Reverend Mr. Jones find no better a Pen to defend his Cause of Pedo- Baptism? |
| A47591 | Could they not go into the Water without plunging in it? |
| A47591 | D. Williams confirms Mr. Baxter''s Notion: Take his words, What doth the Covenant bind thee to( speaking of Infants Baptismal- Covenant)? |
| A47591 | Dare you add and diminish to God''s Word, nay alter Christ''s last Will and Testament in his grand Commission? |
| A47591 | Dare you affirm, that all Unbelievers Children that die are damned? |
| A47591 | Dare you invert, nay subvert the sacred Commission, and so make void the Command of God to uphold your own Tradition? |
| A47591 | Did Baptism confer Grace and Arm their Souls, it was something, but who dares assert that? |
| A47591 | Did ever any Man argue after this manner before? |
| A47591 | Did not John Baptist say, Think not to say within your selves we have Abraham to our Father? |
| A47591 | Did not our Lord Jesus Institute this Ordinance of Baptizing, i. e. of dipping the Bodies of Men and Women in water? |
| A47591 | Did not our Saviour command his Disciples to go into all Nations, and make Disciples, and baptize them? |
| A47591 | Did they preach Salvation to Believers, and to all their Children, as such, whether elected or not, called by the Word or Spirit, or not? |
| A47591 | Did this stumble them in the Apostolical Days, who were told that Circumcision availed nothing, nor Uncircumcision? |
| A47591 | Do not all the Children of God partake of God''s Divine Nature, and are not they all Heirs of God? |
| A47591 | Do we deny that the Promise of Pardon and of the holy Spirit doth belong to our Children or Off- spring that ● o believe, or are called by the Lord? |
| A47591 | Do you believe it? |
| A47591 | Do you cut off your Infants from the Covenant of Salvation, because you will not give them the Blood of the Covenant( I mean the Lord''s Supper)? |
| A47591 | Do you indeed own the Popish Church, or is not the Church of Rome in your Judgment, however part of the Body of Christ? |
| A47591 | Do you know they are all Elect Persons, and so such that God will in time call, give grace to, and so change their evil and depraved Natures? |
| A47591 | Do you not confess by the Order of the Words in the Commission, Teaching ought to go before Baptizing? |
| A47591 | Do you not place that Virtue in an external Rite, that only belongs to the Blood of Christ, and sanctifying Grace of God''s Spirit? |
| A47591 | Do you plead for final falling out of God''s Covenant, or from a State of t ● ue Grace? |
| A47591 | Do you think there was not need that Infant- Baptism should be mentioned in the Holy Scripture, had it been a Truth? |
| A47591 | Does Christ own Infants to be Subjects of his Kingdom, and yet did not baptize them? |
| A47591 | Does Christ, says he, own them for Subjects in his Kingdom, and shall we allow them no better standing than in the Devil''s Kingdom? |
| A47591 | Does God give himself, all he is, and all he has, to every Believer, and to all his Fleshly Seed? |
| A47591 | Dost thou not desire to be saved? |
| A47591 | Doth Baptism confer Grace? |
| A47591 | Doth Baptism wash away Original Corruption? |
| A47591 | Doth Christ say baptize, and so make them Disciples? |
| A47591 | Doth Christ( saith he) take Children into his Arms, and shall his Church cast them out of her Imbraces? |
| A47591 | Doth Mr. Owen think that we deny that any our Children have right to the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47591 | Doth he mean every individual Person, or some of all sorts, of Jews and Gentiles? |
| A47591 | Doth it follow, because many Thousands that were baptized( as you call it) when Infants, were after they come to Age truly converted? |
| A47591 | Doth it not belong to the Gentiles too? |
| A47591 | Doth not History tell us the Fathers used other Rites also, and that in Baptism? |
| A47591 | Doth not our blessed Saviour say that they had made void the Commandments of God through their Traditions? |
| A47591 | Doth not the Covenant and Promise to Adam run only to Christ Jesus, or referr to him, who is there meant by the Seed of the Woman? |
| A47591 | Doth that intend all universally? |
| A47591 | Doth the Constitution of the Spiritual Gospel- Church run as in Human and National Constitutions? |
| A47591 | Doth the baptizing of Infants make them Disciples? |
| A47591 | Doth your Baptism save your Infants? |
| A47591 | Et quid vobis visum est non post nos sed post trinitatem baptisma geminare? |
| A47591 | Find the Woman that had the Issue of Blood no Command no Example, nor no Promise to believe Christ would ● … er? |
| A47591 | First, If Persons may be said to be baptized when it rains upon them, How many times have you and I been so baptized? |
| A47591 | For this you must prove, or you say nothing; and how absurd would that be should you affirm any such thing? |
| A47591 | For what need had he to baptize himself, were there none called Anabaptists in Holland nor Germany before that time? |
| A47591 | Had God given the Jews any such Law or Precept? |
| A47591 | Had Lydia and her Family a right to Baptism because a Proselyte? |
| A47591 | Had it been the constant custom of the Godly to baptize Infants, would not these, think you, have been in their Infancy baptized? |
| A47591 | Had not Abraham an Ishmael, Isaac an Esau, and David an Absalom? |
| A47591 | Had they ever any ground of strong Consolation? |
| A47591 | Hath not God freely left us and our Children to choose to be his Servants, or to choose our Religion? |
| A47591 | Hath not God ways enough, and such that are sufficient to Oblidge our Children to die to Sin, and live a new Life? |
| A47591 | Have Infants, as such, Union with Christ? |
| A47591 | Have all their Children, or every one of them, Christ, Grace, Holiness here, and Glory and eternal Happiness hereafter? |
| A47591 | Have they kept their Vow and Covenant? |
| A47591 | Hence he says, What then? |
| A47591 | How are they broken off? |
| A47591 | How can it be an Evidence of Faith in Infants who are not capable to believe? |
| A47591 | How can water( saith Mr. Charnock) an external thing, work upon the Soul Physically? |
| A47591 | How can you make Baptism a Condition of Salvation to Infants who are no ways capable to answer it? |
| A47591 | How dare Men adventure, this being so, to change Baptism from Dipping into Sprinkling; and the Subject, from an Adult Believer, to an Ignorant Babe? |
| A47591 | How dare any Man Seal the Covenant of Salvation to such, who have not that Faith Abraham had, before he received that Seal? |
| A47591 | How doth God prevent them with blessings of Goodness, by your Rantizing them? |
| A47591 | How doth it appear the Infants of the Godly before Abraham''s time, had any Right to visible Church- Membership, or what Seal had they? |
| A47591 | How imperfect is my Brother Owen? |
| A47591 | How is it then that the Apostle Paul says, the Law is not of Faith; also the Covenant of Grace giveth Life? |
| A47591 | How little is the Institution of Christ, or Practice of the Primitive Churches minded by many good Men? |
| A47591 | How sanctified? |
| A47591 | How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? |
| A47591 | How then could the dying Infants of the Godly, who lived before that Covenant was made with Abraham, be saved? |
| A47591 | However this Testimony is given only by Witches and Sorcerers, and what ground have we to believe them? |
| A47591 | I answer, Pagans and Infidels may be regenerated''t is possible, what can hinder God''s working upon their Hearts? |
| A47591 | I answer, are we not to be commended for not believing that to be a Truth, for which there is neither Command nor example? |
| A47591 | I answer, first, how inconsistent is this with the words of the Commission? |
| A47591 | I ask Mr. Owen how he can prove that the Seal of the Covenant of Grace doth belong to them who are only in the outward Dispensation of the Gospel? |
| A47591 | I could tell you of many evil and foul things and practices done by some Presbyterians, but should I brand the whole Brotherhood from thence? |
| A47591 | I know not whether you be of this Pedo- baptists mind, or not, but I think this Doctrine does not fit a Christian Catechism? |
| A47591 | I know the Papists assert it doth do this, but how do they or you prove it? |
| A47591 | I say again, Are all our Children in the Election of Grace, or doth Election run only in that Line? |
| A47591 | I will be a God to you Gentiles, but not to your Seed; is this Abraham''s Blessing, how unlike to it? |
| A47591 | I would know how they prove Baptism to be the Medicine appointed to cure the Soul of the Plague of Sin( or, as Mr. Owen says, for their Salvation)? |
| A47591 | If a Woman should sprinkle her foul Linen with a few drops of Water, would that be deem''d a washing of them? |
| A47591 | If all your Children have the Seal of the Covenant of Grace, or all the blessings thereof, sealed up to them, shall they not be all saved? |
| A47591 | If any should say why did you not cite these assertions of Mr. Baxters whilst he was living? |
| A47591 | If so, are they not holy also? |
| A47591 | If the Baptism of Infants be evil, why doth the Devil( say you) Tempt Witches or Sorcerers to deny that Baptism? |
| A47591 | If the Covenant of Grace God made with Adam, was also to all his Seed, How happy is the whole VVorld? |
| A47591 | If the Covenant of Grace was made with Adam, and his Natural Seed as such, will it not follow that he owns Universal Salvation? |
| A47591 | If this he so, your Cause is gone: How? |
| A47591 | If this you intend not, yet is every Believer a like common or publick Head to his natural Off- spring, as Adam was to his? |
| A47591 | If you insist not on internal priviledges nor on external priviledges, that are Sealed to Infants that are Baptized, what does their Baptism signifie? |
| A47591 | In a word, can they make the Child, or Children, to repent and truly believe in Jesus Christ? |
| A47591 | In some shallow Rivolets we daily see, that in some places the Water is deep, and might it not be so in that? |
| A47591 | In whose Authority and Power then must stand their Faith in this matter? |
| A47591 | Is Absolution and the Seal of it offered unto Infants, and do they refuse to receive it? |
| A47591 | Is Baptism Circumcision? |
| A47591 | Is he more unready to administer Spiritual Blessings, than he was in administring Temporal Blessings to the Children of the Faithful? |
| A47591 | Is it a Sin to cast off Mens inventions? |
| A47591 | Is it a great Sin to refuse to agree to the Covenant to which thy Baptism engaged thee? |
| A47591 | Is it a sin to divide from the Church of Rome, or from the Church of England, or not to continue of their Communion? |
| A47591 | Is it in the power of Parents to save or damn their Children? |
| A47591 | Is it not Go therefore, teach all Nations, baptizing them,& c.? |
| A47591 | Is it not Spiritual and Heart- Holiness? |
| A47591 | Is it not sad, that Men should give cause to their Children to think they are guilty of Perjury? |
| A47591 | Is it then a shameful scandal to neglect a Tradition of Man? |
| A47591 | Is it thus with your baptized Infants in respect of Original Sin? |
| A47591 | Is it upon us? |
| A47591 | Is not God''s Word to be our Rule in all Points of Faith and Practice to the End of the World? |
| A47591 | Is not that an everlasting Covenant, well ordered in all things and ● ● re? |
| A47591 | Is not the whole Mind of Jesus Christ, even all his Laws and Precepts, or his whole Counsel, plainly contained in his Blessed VVord? |
| A47591 | Is not this to blind the Eyes of the poor People, and make them think that an external Ordinance saves the Soul? |
| A47591 | Is not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 à 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 Greek? |
| A47591 | Is their a necessity for it? |
| A47591 | Is there no hope therefore left us of the Salvation of our dying Infants? |
| A47591 | Is this an answer? |
| A47591 | Is this that Covenant confirm''d by the Oath of God, that gives you such strong Consolation touching your Infants, as such, as before you pleaded for? |
| A47591 | Is this the Blessing of Abraham that is come upon the Gentiles? |
| A47591 | Is this the Promise that belongs to the Faithful and their Children? |
| A47591 | Is this to act like a wise and learned Man? |
| A47591 | It is plain, say you, that Baptism belongeth to them that believe: but say you, how doth it appear that Baptism doth belong to the Seed of such? |
| A47591 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
| A47591 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
| A47591 | Know ye not, that so many of you that have been baptized into Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
| A47591 | May not the Papists say as well, that those Persons they bring under their voluntary Vows, are thereby Dedicated unto God? |
| A47591 | May not the Papists say to them also, Where do you read holy Water and holy Garments are forbid? |
| A47591 | May not we by your Argument baptize Unbelievers in whom no Grace appears, because we do not know how the Election runs? |
| A47591 | May the Children of God degenerate into Dogs, Wolves, and Vipers? |
| A47591 | May we baptize such therefore? |
| A47591 | Moreover, why do you speak of Persons being not willing to be baptized, when the Subject of Baptism you contend for is a poor ignorant Babe? |
| A47591 | Mourn O England and lament, sad is thy Case? |
| A47591 | Must God save all the Children of the First- Adam by the Obedience of the Second, because, if Adam had stood none of his Children had fallen? |
| A47591 | Must our Faith stand in the Wisdom of Men in this matter, or in the Power of God, and in the Authority of his Sacred Word? |
| A47591 | Must they have the same Rites and Privileges, and yet not the same? |
| A47591 | Must we all who deny Infant Baptism, be Condemned as utter cast aways, and not be lookt upon so much as Members of the Universal Church? |
| A47591 | Must we believe God''s Word, or a lying Traveller? |
| A47591 | Must we deny Original Sin, or own Infant- Baptism does cleanse from it? |
| A47591 | My Faith may be said to unite me to Christ; but doth it also unite my Child to Christ? |
| A47591 | Nay, may be they might say, they had not the other to do it, and therefore built their Altars of Brick: But would this Pretence do? |
| A47591 | Nay, more, be so bold as to say, these are more useful, and answer better the End of God, than those which he himself instituted? |
| A47591 | Nay, or that it was made to Abraham''s Spiritual Seed? |
| A47591 | Nevertheless, what saith the Scripture? |
| A47591 | No doubt but Christ is able to do it: But doth he in a secret way administer Instruction to Infants? |
| A47591 | No doubt but the Lord loved his Elect before they were born, even from Everlasting, but what of this? |
| A47591 | No, no, what saith the Almighty God? |
| A47591 | Now can this be a Truth, since Christ was more Faithful than Moses; and delivered every thing plainly from the Father? |
| A47591 | Now did not the Children partake of the Lord''s Supper, I mean that Typical Lord''s Supper? |
| A47591 | Now do all the Children of the Faithful come to Christ, and shall they all be saved? |
| A47591 | Now if I prove there were two Covenants made with Abraham, what is become of all you have said in respect of this matter? |
| A47591 | Now must this be a Covenant of Faith or Grace? |
| A47591 | Now to what purpose do you mention this Covenant, or the temporal Salvation of Noah''s Family in the Ark? |
| A47591 | Now what Arminianism is here fomented, if once you say or think, they are capable to perform this Obligation? |
| A47591 | Now what is the Sign without the Thing signified? |
| A47591 | Now( say they) is not this a pure Gospel- Phrase, and shews it to be a Covenant with Abraham in Christ? |
| A47591 | Now, Sir, was there any Person either young or old, before the Law or under the Law, thus baptized? |
| A47591 | O that God would appear and give you a better temper of Heart: Who is uncharitable now, if Charity be the Bond of perfectness? |
| A47591 | Or are they Dogs, and must be damned if their Parents baptize them not, and dare not do it because Christ hath not commanded them to baptize them? |
| A47591 | Or dare you say our New Testament is not authentick, or sufficient to teach us the whole of Gospel- Duties, and Obedience, without the Jewish Talmud? |
| A47591 | Or hath the Church or Ministers, power to alter Christ''s great Commission? |
| A47591 | Or have you any power to force, or compel your Children to be of what Perswasion in Religion you please? |
| A47591 | Or is it not upon Christ himself? |
| A47591 | Or is it not, make Disciples, and baptize them? |
| A47591 | Or might there not be a great Confluence of Water then,( as Dr. Hammond words it) and yet but little or shallow Water now, or when Sandys was there? |
| A47591 | Or take his great Ordinance of Baptism from the Superstitious, Fabulous and Erroneous Custom of their Doctors and Rabbins? |
| A47591 | Or was it not wholly done by the Power of God''s Word preached to them, through the mighty Power and Operations of the Holy Ghost upon their Souls? |
| A47591 | Or what Representation is there in that Act of a Resurrection? |
| A47591 | Or would Abraham have been circumcised himself, because in the Covenant of Grace, had he not received a positive Command so to be? |
| A47591 | Or, are they not to be justly blamed who jumble things so confusedly together? |
| A47591 | Or, is there any such Covenant- Head under the Gospel, save Jesus Christ alone? |
| A47591 | Ought not we to keep the Ordinances as they were first instituted and given to the Saints? |
| A47591 | Ought we not to believe( say you) for our Children, that Christ will receive them? |
| A47591 | Pray ask this Man what it is that Baptism seals to Infants? |
| A47591 | Pray, was that Custom among the Jews of baptizing Infants, when any of the Gentiles were admitted into the Jewish Church, commanded of God? |
| A47591 | Pray, what became of the Jews Female Infants, were they damned? |
| A47591 | Shall not a whole Believer be saved? |
| A47591 | Sir were not those Men and Women that were Baptized in the Apostolical times Dipped? |
| A47591 | Sir, Are all Believers Children in the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47591 | Sir, Is not Baptisin a Greek VVord? |
| A47591 | Sir, What think you now of the Testimony of the ancient Fathers, and of the practice of the Churches after the Apostles days? |
| A47591 | Sir, What think you now of your Jewish Custom of baptizing the Heathens, and their Children, who were admitted to their Church? |
| A47591 | Sir, Why dare you leave out part of the Words? |
| A47591 | Sir, are not these part of the Nations? |
| A47591 | Sir, are the Infants of Believers near one half part of the Nations? |
| A47591 | Sir, no doubt elect Infants that die have Union with Christ in a way we are ignorant of, but what is this to the Infants of Believers as such? |
| A47591 | Sir, what is become of your sprinkling of Cups, Pots and Brazen Vessels among the Jews, when''t is said they washed or baptized them? |
| A47591 | Sirs, who hath required this at your Hands? |
| A47591 | Speak, Doth Baptism take away Original sin, or free them from that Malady or not? |
| A47591 | That Children were baptized into the Covenant under the Law; What Pedo- baptist ever asserted this before? |
| A47591 | That in the Primitive Times, when the Gospel was first preached and? |
| A47591 | That that blessed work of Grace upon their Hearts was by virtue of their Infant- Baptism, or from any Motive that arose from thence? |
| A47591 | The Minor is undeniable: Was not Baptism in full force from the time that John received it from Heaven, and administred it on the People? |
| A47591 | The truth is, if Circumcision availed nothing, but was a Yoke of Bondage, then why should that stumble them? |
| A47591 | Therefore we are buried with him in Baptism into his Death,& c. Else what shall they do that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not? |
| A47591 | Therefore you object, How can Children be bound to that which they are ignorant of? |
| A47591 | To contemn this Order( saith he) is to contemn the Rules of Order; for where can we find it if not here? |
| A47591 | To this you answer and say, How doth that follow? |
| A47591 | VVhat difference between Baptism and Baptisma? |
| A47591 | VVhat need of Consequences here? |
| A47591 | VVhat need we have VVine? |
| A47591 | VVhat of this? |
| A47591 | VVhy are not Men ashamed thus to go about to blind and deceive the poor People? |
| A47591 | VVill God own or bless an humane Tradition? |
| A47591 | VVill you confound the Use and End of one Sacrament with the other, to maintain your own Innovation and Abuse of Christ''s holy Baptism? |
| A47591 | Was not the Moral Law from the beginning? |
| A47591 | Was this the priviledge of any save Abraham only? |
| A47591 | We say the Papists call for Scripture where those things are forbid which they have among them, or when God cast them out of the Church? |
| A47591 | Were ever any Men thus bold before? |
| A47591 | Were it not thus, how could we deny or oppose the Papists seven Sacraments? |
| A47591 | Were there not many other Rites and Ordinances under the Law, or Old Testament, besides Circumcision? |
| A47591 | Were these such, think you, that ever were in the Covenant of Grace God ma ● e with Abraham? |
| A47591 | Were they in Covenant as they are the Natural Seed of Believers? |
| A47591 | Were they only the Children of Believers that Herod Murthered, how will you prove that? |
| A47591 | What Advantage then hath the Jew? |
| A47591 | What Covenant is it he means? |
| A47591 | What Credit is to be given to such Fathers? |
| A47591 | What Doctrine is this? |
| A47591 | What Figure of a Burial of Christ, or of the old Man is there in sprinkling a few drops of VVater on a Person''s Face? |
| A47591 | What Human Tradition may not be let into the Church at this Door? |
| A47591 | What Notions do you impose upon your unwary Readers? |
| A47591 | What a preposterous way of arguing is this of yours? |
| A47591 | What an abominable Innovation had he been guilty of should he have done this thing, which you seem posicively to affirm? |
| A47591 | What an account can you give to him of this at the great Day? |
| A47591 | What assurance can he give to Infants, or to their Parents that the Children they baptize shall be better Christians thereby? |
| A47591 | What difference is there between much VVater, and many Waters? |
| A47591 | What doth hinder me to be baptized? |
| A47591 | What doth this prove touching the Lawfulness of Infant- Baptism? |
| A47591 | What if I affirm, that no Ordinance succeeds in the room of Circumcision? |
| A47591 | What if I agree with the last, and say Abraham is the Root? |
| A47591 | What if a Child, thro the love of Sin, or vanity of Mind, will not agree to this Covenant? |
| A47591 | What is a simple external Profession good for, without true Grace and a saving Interest in Christ, and Assurance of Eternal Life? |
| A47591 | What is an Ordinance without the God of the Ordinance? |
| A47591 | What is required of Persons to be baptized? |
| A47591 | What is the Sign without the Thing signified? |
| A47591 | What is the difference between holy and sanctified? |
| A47591 | What more doth it serve to do than to blind and deceive the Souls of such external and carnal Professors? |
| A47591 | What need had there been for them so to have done, had Baptism been sprinkling? |
| A47591 | What signifies Federal External Holiness without true Spiritual Holiness? |
| A47591 | What stuff is this you would force upon us and the World? |
| A47591 | What then? |
| A47591 | What tho the Hebrew word signifies cleansing or washing with Water, was it therefore formally the Ordinance of Baptism? |
| A47591 | What tho the one be a Sacrament of Initiation, and the other of Confirmation? |
| A47591 | When God commanded Abraham to circumcise on the eighth day, did he not virtually forbid him to do it on the seventh or ninth day? |
| A47591 | When the Eunuch ask''d Philip, See, here is Water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
| A47591 | Where is the Immutability of God''s Counsel? |
| A47591 | Where is the Spirit of Reformation? |
| A47591 | Where is the extream ● unction forbid, or auricular Confession, or the use of Beads in Prayer, and a hundred more such Romish Fopperies? |
| A47591 | Where is the strong Consolation? |
| A47591 | Whether such as had Heathen and Infidel Wives ought to put them away with their Children, as in the days of Ezra? |
| A47591 | Whether the being the Children of Abraham, as such, gave them a right to Circumcision, or rather the meer positive Command of God to Abraham? |
| A47591 | Whether the believing Husband might live or cohabit with the unbelieving Wife? |
| A47591 | Whither will this lead you? |
| A47591 | Who commanded you this way to Dedicate your Children to the Lord? |
| A47591 | Who commanded you to baptize or dip Believers in the Name of the Father,& c. and you rantize or sprinkle Infants? |
| A47591 | Who tells you so? |
| A47591 | Who told you what you say is the sense of our Saviour? |
| A47591 | Why can not they receive a Blessing from him now, as in the days of his Flesh? |
| A47591 | Why do you not use Crossing in Baptism, nor Oyl nor Honey as the Papists do? |
| A47591 | Why do you say of no Right but this? |
| A47591 | Why doth Innocent Age hasten to the Remission of Sins? |
| A47591 | Why doth you not from hence give Infants also the Lord''s Supper? |
| A47591 | Why may we not give credit to the Papists, as well as unto Witches and Sorcerers? |
| A47591 | Why must not the Gentiles and their Children that are grafted in, as you suppose, in their room, receive all the Privileges as well as one or two? |
| A47591 | Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke on the necks of the Disciples? |
| A47591 | Why then are such not to be baptized, as well as the Children of the Faithful? |
| A47591 | Why then despisest thou one of the Means of Salvation? |
| A47591 | Why then do you baptize all, even such that have not the thing signified when baptized, nor ever after till they die? |
| A47591 | Why were they brought to Christ? |
| A47591 | Why? |
| A47591 | Will Baptism save your Infants? |
| A47591 | Will Christ accept of Prest- Souldiers into his Service? |
| A47591 | Will God own and bless a voluntary Vow, or approve of an Humane Tradition? |
| A47591 | Will Pedo- Baptists make Baptism their Saviour? |
| A47591 | Will you Teach the Almighty, or are you wiser than he? |
| A47591 | Will you be wiser than God? |
| A47591 | Will you charge the Holy Apostles, and all the Ministers of the Primitive Churches with Adultery? |
| A47591 | Will you direct the Almighty, or have Christ to bless an Human Invention? |
| A47591 | Will you exclude all from Salvation that are not Members of your Church? |
| A47591 | Will you say with the Old Erroneous Fathers, and Blind Papists, that Baptism washes away Original Sin? |
| A47591 | You argue as many 〈 ◊ 〉 have done before you, Children of Believers were once in Covenant, who dares be so bold as to say they are cast out? |
| A47591 | You may think that was no great Error, instead of Gold or Stone, to make Altars of Brick: but what saith God? |
| A47591 | You( say you) appeal to the Consciences of those that are rebaptized, is not the thing thus? |
| A47591 | actual Sin they have none: Doth it wash away Original Sin? |
| A47591 | and also of the Doctrine of final Perseverance? |
| A47591 | and are Infants able so to do? |
| A47591 | and are the Children they had when they were vile and wicked Persons, bad, nay so bad as they are to be counted Dogs? |
| A47591 | and do none of the Children of Unbelievers go thither? |
| A47591 | and if so, why not baptized as well as your Infants, by your Argument from hence? |
| A47591 | and is it not in English to dip? |
| A47591 | and is not that( as Mr. Baxter saith,) a strange Marriage, where there is nothing signified of consent? |
| A47591 | and that their Infants who die may go to Heaven, tho not circumcised, nor baptized? |
| A47591 | and were not those that were circumcised bound to keep the Moral as well as the Ceremonial Law? |
| A47591 | and what became of their Male Infants, who died before eight days old? |
| A47591 | but doth he need Man''s Supplements, shall man teach God? |
| A47591 | but what hope have the Impious, Prophane, and ungodly Parent of the Salvation of his dying Children? |
| A47591 | dare you say that? |
| A47591 | do not many of them live and prove ungodly when grown up, that you baptize? |
| A47591 | had not the Jews and their Children many other external Privileges besides Circumcision? |
| A47591 | how could they change their Apparel? |
| A47591 | how many of them do perish eternally? |
| A47591 | if not thus, how can it be Cruelty, yea Murder in Parents to deny the Application of Baptism to their Children( as Mr. Burkit says)? |
| A47591 | is not the case mended with us? |
| A47591 | is there no Salvation out of the Visible Church? |
| A47591 | is this Sin the damning Sin? |
| A47591 | nay of the Promises and Oath of God? |
| A47591 | or condemn Salt, Oil, Spittle to be used in Baptism, which they use in it, seeing these are not forbid? |
| A47591 | or have we no perfect Rule left us in the Gospel? |
| A47591 | or what Profit is there in Circumcision? |
| A47591 | or who made that a Channel of Grace to dying Infants? |
| A47591 | should you dictate to your Earthly Prince, would he allow it? |
| A47591 | that they ought to baptize their Children who did not know, nor ever heard of that Jewish Custom? |
| A47591 | the Sign of Regeneration, but not Regeneration it self, a sign of Grace, but not Grace it self? |
| A47591 | they want power to do it for themselves, and how then should they do it for others? |
| A47591 | they were not Circumcised; And were not their Male Infants saved, who dyed before the Eighth Day? |
| A47591 | was that the thing, or is it not another Act? |
| A47591 | were but Infants capable of knowledge, how much would they dread being born of wicked Parents? |
| A47591 | where is it written? |
| A47591 | would that have justified them if they had presumed to have done it without God''s Command? |
| A47591 | you seem to assert this, for else how hath God by Baptism prevented them? |
| A47591 | — Is it not great ingratitude in us to despise our birth- right? |
| A47591 | ● nd are not they, say you, unthankful to the Grace of G ● … which offereth them a Seal of Absolution, and they ● … ll not receive it? |

| A47542 | How doth this reprehend such who repine, murmur, and are carried away with slavish and distrustful Fear? |
| A47542 | How doth this tend to reprehend the Enemies of God''s People, who abuse, reproach, backbite, nay, persecute them? |
| A47542 | How easy was it for the Philistines to cut off Sampson''s Hair, and bind him, when he was asleep? |
| A47542 | How equal and just a thing would it be that such should die? |
| A47542 | How idle is it for any to say, He died only to remove or take away the rigid Law of Works, and to merit a milder Law of Grace? |
| A47542 | How is that done? |
| A47542 | How long shall God wait upon you? |
| A47542 | How made an end of Sin? |
| A47542 | How may I know I am made alive, and have Eternal Life given to me? |
| A47542 | How may I know that I have Christ, or an Interest in him? |
| A47542 | How near may some of you be to Death; and if you have not got an Interest in Christ before then, what will become of your precious Souls? |
| A47542 | How oft have they been fed this way? |
| A47542 | How poor then was he for a Time, that stood charged with all the Sins of his Elect? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation, which at first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | How shall we that preached it escape if we neglect it? |
| A47542 | How will they stand in the Judgment- Day, when Christ will say, what ye did to this and that Child of mine, you did it unto me? |
| A47542 | How will you be able to look this Blessed Saviour in the Face another Day? |
| A47542 | How will you get rid of this abominable Filth, which renders you loathsom in God''s sight? |
| A47542 | However they who have Salvation, either have it as the Effects of Free- Grace, or of Free- Will; Who will assert the latter? |
| A47542 | I grant that it is spoken of Christ, but not of Christ personally, but Christ mystically considered: Did Christ personally ever forsake God''s Law? |
| A47542 | I have found a Ransom: Where did God find it? |
| A47542 | If Believers do perish, what will become of the Promises of God, nay, of the Oath of God? |
| A47542 | If Christ be thine, he is very precious to thee: Canst thou say with David, Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
| A47542 | If Christ did not die for all, how could the Birth of our Saviour be said to be Matter of Joy unto all People? |
| A47542 | If Christ died not for all, how can I know he died for me? |
| A47542 | If Christ died not for all, what ground have I to believe he died for me? |
| A47542 | If I am a Master, where is my Fear? |
| A47542 | If I shall persevere to the End, what need is there of those Take- heeds in the Scripture? |
| A47542 | If a Shepherd had under his Care 100000 Sheep, and all his own, would not every body call him a great Shepherd? |
| A47542 | If he died for the Chief of Sinners, why not for thee? |
| A47542 | If he had vouchsafed a Saviour for none of Adam''s Posterity, had he been unjust, any more than he is in casting off for ever all the fallen Angels? |
| A47542 | If he hath Power in his Hand, will he not rescue her, nay, die upon the Spot before he will see this done? |
| A47542 | If it doth, why hath it not equal Effects towards all? |
| A47542 | If none saved but such that are elected, what need any look after Salvation? |
| A47542 | If so, what will you do at the Day of Death, and in the Day of Judgment? |
| A47542 | If the Supreme Judg, he whom they have offended, doth acquit and discharge them, who shall bring in any Accusation against them? |
| A47542 | If the Word spoken by Angels were stedfast, and every Transgression and Disobedience received a just Recompence of Reward; How shall we escape? |
| A47542 | If this was his End and Design in his Death; do any think he will see himself frustrated in it? |
| A47542 | If you had done your uttermost in improving of the Talent I gave you, would I have been wanting to you? |
| A47542 | Is Christ a Surety to God for us, or of us to God? |
| A47542 | Is Christ able to preserve his Souse, or the Soul that is united unto him? |
| A47542 | Is Communion with Christ on Earth worth nothing? |
| A47542 | Is God able, think you, to delight, to rejoice, and to fill the Souls of his Saints with Joy and Pleasure? |
| A47542 | Is God through the Death of his Son reconciled, and shall all that take hold of him be justified? |
| A47542 | Is Sin that which afflicts, wounds and grieves your Spirit? |
| A47542 | Is any Man able perfectly to keep the Law? |
| A47542 | Is he not Merciful, because he is Just as well as Gracious? |
| A47542 | Is he unjust in giving effectual Grace to some, because he doth not bestow it upon all? |
| A47542 | Is his Power greater than the Power of Satan? |
| A47542 | Is it Gain to lose that? |
| A47542 | Is it in the Eternal Purpose of his Will that all should be saved? |
| A47542 | Is it in the Power of his Hands? |
| A47542 | Is it meet that the Holy God should strike before he threatens, or not shoot off his Warning- Piece before he lets fly his Murdering- Piece? |
| A47542 | Is it not plainly foretold, that the Messiah should be cut off, but not for himself? |
| A47542 | Is it not said, If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you? |
| A47542 | Is it so great, so glorious, and shall we not mind it above all things? |
| A47542 | Is it some Temporary Act of his, whereby he hath declared himself unto them? |
| A47542 | Is my Hand shortned at all that it can not redeem? |
| A47542 | Is not his Satisfaction more than enough? |
| A47542 | Is not that Salvation business of the greatest Moment of all, that is so great, so sweet, so rich, so admirable, and so free and easy to be obtained? |
| A47542 | Is not that a base and for did Principle in a Servant or Subject, to do nothing but for meer Self- profit and Advantage? |
| A47542 | Is not the Carnal Mind enmity against God, having in it an utter Averseness and Moral Impotency to do that which is spiritually Good? |
| A47542 | Is not this Doctrine a Legal Doctrine, or a legal way of preaching, to insist so much upon the Threatnings of Wrath and Divine Vengeance? |
| A47542 | Is not this a better Ground of Faith, than that of Christ''s dying for all? |
| A47542 | Is the Wrath of God so terrible, and can no Unbeliever or impenitent Sinner escape it; what cause is here for them all to tremble? |
| A47542 | Is there any Creature or Thing that is Mortal, which Man can not kill, or deprive it of Life? |
| A47542 | Is there any hope that such Sinners as we may be forgiven, and be saved? |
| A47542 | Is there in the Hearts of Sinners naturally Enmity against God? |
| A47542 | Is this possible? |
| A47542 | Is this the Doctrine of general Love which they will have to be in God to Mankind? |
| A47542 | Is this to exalt the Lord alone, or to raise and sing the Praises of our Beloved David? |
| A47542 | It is God that justifieth, who shall condemn us? |
| A47542 | It was therefore hereby that we lost God''s Love and Favour, and is not that a dismal and most bitter thing? |
| A47542 | Let me exhort you to admire the Love of Christ in coming to work out this Salvation: What hath he born and undergon to save our Souls? |
| A47542 | Lo, here is one of them for whom thou gavest thy Son to die, whom thou hast left to me, and I have destroyed him for ever? |
| A47542 | May be you cry out, your State is sad; but what think you of your Sin which is the Cause of it? |
| A47542 | May he not say, did ye suspect or fear you were not elected? |
| A47542 | May not Believers, who are Christ''s Sheep, be beguiled, so as to receive some capital Errors, or an Error in some fundamental Point? |
| A47542 | May not Cry out, Fire, Fire? |
| A47542 | May not a true Believer make a Breach upon a good Conscience, by falling into Temptation? |
| A47542 | May we not stand amazed, and wonder at the long- suffering and forbearance of God? |
| A47542 | Men are ignorant and unsensible of their States and Conditions: Are we blind also? |
| A47542 | Moreover Sin feeds Men poorly: How do they feed? |
| A47542 | Moreover, are there not in this floor others who are proud, earthly, carnal and covetous Persons? |
| A47542 | Moreover, none can condemn such that God justifieth, because it is Christ that died: Hath not his Death Worth and Merit enough in it? |
| A47542 | Must God by these Men be deemed to have no Mercy at all, because he seeks the Honour of his Justice equally with the Glory of his Mercy? |
| A47542 | Must not that Salvation be of highest Moment, that the Son of God in his own Person, came from Heaven to preach and make known to Men on Earth? |
| A47542 | Must not that Salvation needs be our great and chiefest Business to mind and seek after, that is so full, so comprehensive, perfect and compleat? |
| A47542 | Must not that be minded before all things, that God in Eternity( as I may so say) held a Council about the actual accomplishment of? |
| A47542 | Must not that needs be our only Business to look after, that Christ shed his most precious Blood to procure? |
| A47542 | My Soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? |
| A47542 | Nay, and also what Knowledg have they attained of the God of Nature? |
| A47542 | Nay, and in respect of God himself, it must needs appear to be wholly of Grace; could Redemption of Man add any thing to the essential Glory of God? |
| A47542 | Nay, art thou willing to part with that Interest thou hast in Christ, and in this Salvation? |
| A47542 | Nay, doth not Christ himself cry to you after this manner, Wilt thou continue in thy Sin, and neglect the Salvation I have purchased? |
| A47542 | Nay, shall Christ''s repeated Calls, Wooings, and Intreaties, be not regarded, who spreadeth forth his Hands all the Day long? |
| A47542 | No Doctrine tends to promote Gospel Holiness like the Doctrine of Gods Free- Grace: Shall we sin because grace hath abounded? |
| A47542 | None can be so weak sure to assert that; for who shall resist God''s Will, or withstand God''s absolute Design, Purpose and Intention? |
| A47542 | Now Sirs, what think you of this; is there any reason for you to believe God will suffer either of these things to be done? |
| A47542 | Now are all Men redeemed? |
| A47542 | Now can Christ cease being an Elect Head? |
| A47542 | Now dare any go about, through their great Ignorance, to charge God with Perjury? |
| A47542 | Now if it be demanded who are the Sheep of Christ? |
| A47542 | Now is it not easy for any Man from hence to draw an Argument, that the Elect can not fall finally away, so as to perish? |
| A47542 | Now this being done by us, and for us in our Head, can we henceforth die any more? |
| A47542 | Now were it thus, as these Men affirm, then how is Christ rendred, even more weak and inconsiderate than any Man of Understanding? |
| A47542 | Now what are the Enemies, the most dangerous Enemies of the Spouse of Christ? |
| A47542 | Now what daring Men are they who say, they may come into Condemnation that do believe? |
| A47542 | Now what is Election, but a chusing some out of others? |
| A47542 | Now when they heard this they were pricked in the Heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, What shall we do? |
| A47542 | Now who is it that dares to affirm, that Christ did not die and satisfy for all the Sins of Believers, or for his Elect Ones? |
| A47542 | Now, pray, are not these words to be taken with restriction? |
| A47542 | O Death, where is thy Sting? |
| A47542 | O Grave, where is thy Victory? |
| A47542 | O House of David,( saith the Prophet) is it a small thing for you to weary Men, but will you weary my God also? |
| A47542 | O Souls, will you crucify Christ again? |
| A47542 | O bless God for the least degree of saving Grace: Have you love to God, to his poor Saints? |
| A47542 | O how many Years have some of you grieved both the Father and the Son,( to speak after the manner of Men) and is not this a great Evil? |
| A47542 | O my Friends, how great is the Love of Christ to one poor, lost, and undone Sinner? |
| A47542 | O of what Moment is the Salvation of our Souls? |
| A47542 | O saith a poor Believer, what have I done? |
| A47542 | O see to it, and examine your selves; Do you not rest upon something or another short of Christ? |
| A47542 | O shall not the Judg and King of Heaven and Earth do right? |
| A47542 | O that is a blessed Sign: Do you love God, love his People? |
| A47542 | O then receive this Salvation, here is a Prince, nay the Prince of the Kings of the Earth, that desires your Love; will you accept of this Offer? |
| A47542 | O what a shame is it to be afraid, when you have such a Friend, such a Keeper, such a Shepherd to protect, feed, and keep you? |
| A47542 | O what is Sin, and how miserable is the Condition of Sinners? |
| A47542 | O what is the Evil of Sin? |
| A47542 | O what is the Love, the Care and Faithfulness of God? |
| A47542 | O what is the Natural Life of the Body, to the Eternal Life of the Soul? |
| A47542 | O what will you do in the day of Gods Wrath if ye are Chaff, or but counterfeit Christians? |
| A47542 | O who shall stand when God appears in the latter- Day- Judgments which are now just at the Door? |
| A47542 | O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from the Body of Sin and Death? |
| A47542 | Of how much sorer Punishment suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Blood of the Son of God? |
| A47542 | On whom is the Wrath of God denounced, or what kind of Sinners shall undergo it? |
| A47542 | Or Sinner, dost thou want a broken Heart, dost thou want a penitent Heart? |
| A47542 | Or are not all Men naturally under the Power of the Prince of Darkness, he taking them Captive at his Will? |
| A47542 | Or could he not have created other Creatures to have shewed forth his glorious Perfections? |
| A47542 | Or did Christ take more care of the Members of his Natural Body, than of the Members of his Mystical Body? |
| A47542 | Or do they not much more animate him to fight couragiously? |
| A47542 | Or do you think Christ will fail in his Care and Faithfulness, who is their great Shepherd, Sponsor, Surety, or Trustee? |
| A47542 | Or do you want Comfort? |
| A47542 | Or do you want a Shepherd to feed you, a King to rule you, a Priest to sacrifice and make an Atonement for you, a Prophet to teach you? |
| A47542 | Or does not God look upon us, or count us in him so to be? |
| A47542 | Or doth it not refer to all that are in him, or given to him, or all his true spiritual Seed? |
| A47542 | Or hath any Man the true Grace of God, and yet not as the Result of God''s Purpose from Eternity? |
| A47542 | Or how shall you that hear it preached escape if you neglect it? |
| A47542 | Or is he stronger than that strong Man armed? |
| A47542 | Or is it an Antecedent Desire that it should be so, though he fails in the End? |
| A47542 | Or is this Gospel, to say, you shall perish eternally, and have the Fire of Hell seven times heated, if you obey not this Gospel? |
| A47542 | Or shall Sin or the Devil pull Limb from Limb, and he look on? |
| A47542 | Or shall his Love be so great in begetting Grace, or in infusing Grace, and no more Love shewed in keeping and preserving that Grace in their Souls? |
| A47542 | Or should he suffer it, would not all say that he was a cruel and unmerciful Father, one that had no Love, no natural Affections to his poor Child? |
| A47542 | Or that there is no ground left in the Word for us to believe they were saved? |
| A47542 | Or was he obliged to save us, and that he might do it, to send his own Son to die, and be made a Curse for us? |
| A47542 | Or what Communion hath Light with Darkness? |
| A47542 | Or what Concord hath Christ with Belial? |
| A47542 | Or, who hath felt and experienced the powerful Influences of his Spirit, and saving Grace thereof, on their Souls? |
| A47542 | Others hear it, but do not believe it: Who hath believed our Report? |
| A47542 | Ought we not to prefer that Salvation before all things, that delivers us from the greatest Evil, the Plague of all Plagues? |
| A47542 | Our Souls at Death depart, and they go to Christ: What is Joy and Peace in Christ, to Joy, Peace and Consolation with Christ? |
| A47542 | P. 212. l. 27. r. whosoever hath that efficacious, 〈 ◊ 〉, 〈 ◊ 〉- transforming, Soul- renewing,& c. P. 213. l. 26. dele sooner than Flesh? |
| A47542 | Pray what is that which is absent from the Lord whilst it is at home in the Body, is it not the Soul? |
| A47542 | Pray, what Difference is there between these Mens Doctrine, and that of the Papists? |
| A47542 | Said a godly man, this is a humbling dispensation that you are exercised under — A humbling dispensation, said he, do you call it? |
| A47542 | Saith a Believer, Is Sin hateful to God? |
| A47542 | Satan stirs up Men to slight and neglect this so great Salvation: Is it not sad that Men should adhere to the grand Enemy of their Souls? |
| A47542 | Say you so, is Sin your Sickness, is Sin your Sorrow? |
| A47542 | Secondly, Doth this Will equally respect the All intended, or doth it not? |
| A47542 | Secondly, What Pastures doth Christ feed his Sheep in? |
| A47542 | See in what a Pickle the Mind and Will of Man naturally is in: What can a Sinner not do, if the Doctrine of sore Men were true? |
| A47542 | Shall Eternal Death have Dominion over us? |
| A47542 | Shall God''s Justice be eclipsed, shall his Honour be marr''d, his Goodness be despised, his Law be violated, his Holiness stained? |
| A47542 | Shall a Child be taken off from his Duty, or be remiss in serving his Father, because his Father tells him he shall never be disinherited? |
| A47542 | Shall all in Heaven contemplate it, and not we? |
| A47542 | Shall any Enemy of the Soul bring Christ under a Disappointment? |
| A47542 | Shall any change God''s Mind, or render his Thoughts liable to Alteration? |
| A47542 | Shall he be at the expence of his Blood to buy it,( as one notes) and spare his Power to secure it? |
| A47542 | Shall he come secretly on his Enemies before he tells them of their danger? |
| A47542 | Shall he condemn that in his Creatures which he allows in himself? |
| A47542 | Shall he rebel against his Soveraign? |
| A47542 | Shall he slight an Interest in Christ, and not know it will be his ruin in another World? |
| A47542 | Shall not the Love of God overcome thee? |
| A47542 | Shall not the Majesty of God the great Law- giver be feared? |
| A47542 | Shall the Sinner cast Di ● t in the Face of God, and not be told of it? |
| A47542 | Shall there be Joy in Heaven this Day? |
| A47542 | Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me? |
| A47542 | Sin can not be done away without an infinite Price: What Influence could the Blood of Beasts have to take away Sin? |
| A47542 | Sinner, what sayst thou? |
| A47542 | Sinners, are you bound in strong Chains, and in the Prison- house? |
| A47542 | Sinners, are you dead, dead in Sins and Trespasses? |
| A47542 | Sinners, are you polluted, defiled with Sin, and filthy in God''s sight? |
| A47542 | Sinners, have you hard and rocky Hearts, Hearts of Stone, even as hard as the nether Milstone? |
| A47542 | Sinners, will you not enquire where Christ feeds? |
| A47542 | Sinners, with what Awe and holy Trembling should you attend on the Word of this Salvation, that began first to be spoken by the Lord? |
| A47542 | Sirs, Jesus Christ who was rich, that he might accomplish the Salvation of our Souls, became poor; May not this affect our Hearts? |
| A47542 | So then this is the Sum, In Holiness and all good Works we act and do; But how? |
| A47542 | Some said with a whispering Voice that he was possessed; he over- hearing it, said, Do ye doubt it? |
| A47542 | Suppose, Brethren, there was some other Way to be saved than by Christ, yet is it not meet that the Creature comply with the Will of his Creator? |
| A47542 | That Redemption that is by Christ, is( you hear) from all Iniquity; and are all so redeemed? |
| A47542 | That all Mankind, before Grace is infused into the Soul, are dead: What short of Almighty Power can raise the Dead to Life? |
| A47542 | That which was so seasonable, and when all hopes of Relief and Help was gone? |
| A47542 | That will be the Time when God will make the Power of his Wrath and Anger known: Who( saith the Psalmist) knows the Power of thine Anger? |
| A47542 | The Apostle clearly confirms the same great Truths; Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
| A47542 | The Conscience in a fearful manner shall torment the damned: May we not conclude Conscience will terrifie them after this manner? |
| A47542 | The Cross makes many lose the Crown; but, Brethren, had Jesus Christ refused the Cross, where had we been? |
| A47542 | The Devils cried, Why dost thou torment us before the Time? |
| A47542 | The Eunuch answered, How can I, unless some Man should guide me? |
| A47542 | The Flesh can not bring forth an Heavenly Babe: Can Corruption produce or be the Cause of Regeneration? |
| A47542 | The Soul is more worth than all the World: What shall it profit a Man to gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul? |
| A47542 | The Spouse from hence enquires of Christ where he feedeth, and where he maketh his Flock to rest at Noon? |
| A47542 | The Work of the Ministry is to open the Scripture; Vnderstandest thou what thou readest? |
| A47542 | They shall sit upon Thrones; Know ye not that the Saints shall judg the World? |
| A47542 | Thirdly what is meant by the Chaff? |
| A47542 | Thirdly, and lastly, What Comfort and Consolation doth this afford to all true Christians? |
| A47542 | This being all true, what is become of the Doctrine( or rather of the gross Error) of a final falling from a State of true Grace? |
| A47542 | This greatly raiseth the Honour of Believers: What greater Dignity can be conferred on us, than to be begotten and born of God? |
| A47542 | Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy Way; yet sayest thou not, There is no Hope? |
| A47542 | Though Co ● iah the Son of Jehojakim King of Judah were the Signet upon my right Hand, yet would I pluck thee thence? |
| A47542 | To talk of Christ''s Death, and see no Effects of it, alas, what''s that? |
| A47542 | To whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed? |
| A47542 | To you poor Sinners let me speak one word by way of Exhortation: Did God so early contrive our Salvation? |
| A47542 | Tremble you that slight or neglect the great Salvation of the Gospel: Will you say that Jesus Christ can not save you, or is not willing to save you? |
| A47542 | True, some things you must part with, whoever you are, that will have a part in this Salvation: But what is that? |
| A47542 | Tush, our State is good enough, we can repent hereafter: What is the Gospel but to do as we would be done unto? |
| A47542 | Tush, will God think you ever cast us into Hell for such small things as these, or throw us into a Furnace of Fire? |
| A47542 | Was God unjust in electing some of the Angels, because he passed by others of them? |
| A47542 | Was it possible for Christ not to abide in his Father''s Love? |
| A47542 | Was not Peter sent to him( and to those other Gentiles with him) that they might be converted? |
| A47542 | Was our Salvation so great, that he parted with his Life to procure it, and is it not worth your parting with your Sins to have an Interest in it? |
| A47542 | Was the Birth of Christ Matter of Joy in the Effects of it to Judas, and to the unbelieving Jews, and to many more? |
| A47542 | Was the Body of Christ, and the Body of that gracious Person that Day together in Paradise? |
| A47542 | Was the Wrath of God due to us let out upon him, that we might never feel the weight thereof? |
| A47542 | Was there a Council held in Eternity about our Salvation? |
| A47542 | Well what of this? |
| A47542 | Well, but what are the Characters of those happy Souls? |
| A47542 | Well, what is that which God hath sworn by his Holiness, and will not lie to do for David, the true David, that is his own beloved Son? |
| A47542 | Well, what of that? |
| A47542 | Well, what of this? |
| A47542 | Were any ever damned that did what they could in the use of all Means under the Light of the Gospel, to be saved? |
| A47542 | What Act it is of God wherein this his Willingness doth consist? |
| A47542 | What Advantage brings Christ''s Death, to abrogate one perfect Law, and establish another? |
| A47542 | What Fellowship hath Righteousness with Vnrighteousness? |
| A47542 | What Man that has a Principle of Honesty or of Morality, will deceive or fail such a One, after he hath taken the sole Care and Charge of him? |
| A47542 | What Mortal can think to escape that neglects so great Salvation? |
| A47542 | What Reason can be assigned, that all they whom God equally intended Salvation for by Christ, have it not? |
| A47542 | What Shepherd ever loved his Sheep as Christ loved his? |
