A50251	If a man be justified in the sight of God when he doth believe and was not so before, then it may seem that God is changed?
A50251	If a rich man would bestow some precious pearl that is worth thousands, and thousands of pounds?
A50251	If any ask, What should be the reason that when God worketh faith, he should ordinarily& usually do it by his word, and not otherwise?
A50251	If then the righteousness of Christ be imputed to us, What was that righteousness of Christ that is imputed?
A50251	If this righteousness be imputed to us, doth it not then follow that we are as righteous as Christ?

A50251	Now how are we made sinners by the sinn of Adam?
A50251	Now how was Christ made a sinner by our sinn?
A50251	Now what is the Gospel, but the doctrine or glad tidings of salvation by Christ?
A50251	Reas: 3 The thing that must justifie us, must be a perfect righteousness, as was shewed before; else how shall God be just in justifying us therby?

A88943	I doe renounce: doest thou beleeve?
A88943	It is also here demanded, what the Presbyters may do without the particular consent of the rest?

A88943	Over whom they doe rule?
A88943	Spondeo: Dost thou renounce the Devill and all his works?
A88943	WHether the greatest part of the English there( by estimation) be not as yet unadmitted to any Congregation among you, and the Reasons thereof?
A88943	What authority or Eminency have your Preaching Elders, above your sole Ruling Elders, or are they both equalls?
A88943	What things doe you hold to be Essentiall and absolutely necessary to the being of a true Visible Church of Christ?
A88943	Wherein hold you that the whole Essence of a Ministers calling doth consist: As 1, whether is Election by the People it, yea or no?
A88943	Whether do not you admit Orphants under age, with and in their Guardians?
A88943	Whether do you give the exercise of all Church power of Government to the whole Church, or to the Presbiters thereof alone?

A88948	1 So our Saviour spake the word unto those people?
A88948	10. of Gods sending ▪ and so doth Piscator, and who not?
A88948	17?
A88948	188 l. 1. where t is said, the Princes and heads of tribes laid hands on them: now what were these Princes and heads of tribes, but magistrates?
A88948	3?
A88948	5. why is not the place quoted, where we doe bring them?
A88948	Again, suppose what here is affirmed were also sufficiently confirmed, how is the point in question proved hereby?
A88948	Againe, if Luther did so appeale, why is no proof alledged for Confirmation of what here is affirmed?
A88948	And if it be so in Commonwealths, and families, why may wee not say the same of Churches?
A88948	And if they Prophesyed not all in one Assem ● ly but divers, how could the unbeleever bee convinced and judged by them all?
A88948	And if this be true of a Church that is alone, shall we thinke it is not true of a Church that hath neighbours?
A88948	And if three Iudges had power of life and death, why may not a Congregation with three Elders have power of Excommunication?
A88948	And is it true indeed, that this place doth evince the contrary?
A88948	And may it not also fall out in a Provinc ● all Synod, and in a Classis or Presbtytery of many Churches?
A88948	And serving for excellent ends, as well as Discipline doth?
A88948	And that Ieroboam did not only sinne, but made Israel to sinne?
A88948	And that the people there were not present?
A88948	And what if they meet for prayer also, what if for the Word and Prayer without Sacraments, for this or that time?
A88948	And what of this?
A88948	And who gave them such Authority to Excommunicate Pagans, or men of another Nation, being only there present at that time occasionally?
A88948	And yet I can not see but this must be said, if both the other sayings stand good?
A88948	Answ, And what of all this?
A88948	Are not Sacraments necessary to the well- being of the Church, as being commanded in the word, as well as Discipline is?
A88948	Are there any such words as here he sets down?
A88948	Are they so many in Spain, in Italy, in Turkey at this day?
A88948	Are those things duties, which are in nature impossible?
A88948	Are we then agreed, that in scripture language the word Church is sundry times given to a single Congregation?
A88948	Be it a matter of Discipline, or a matter that concerned all the Churches, or what else Mr. Rutherford will have it?
A88948	But can any man inferre from hence, that the Church thus rebuking another Church hath power to Excommunicate that other Church?
A88948	But doth hee make it a note of many Congregations in one Church at Ierusalem?
A88948	But doth not M. Rutherford prove that the one Church at Ephesus was more then one Congregation?
A88948	But doth our Brother cleere this?
A88948	But if this were granted in the sense expressed, must it needs follow that they imposed hands as Elders, and as Elders by office too?
A88948	But is it so indeed as our Brother affirmeth, that none of them do teach that it is against the light of Nature that the adverse party be the judge?
A88948	But it is not easie to see how they choose a man for a Minister to themselves, being sent unto them by God?
A88948	But why are we not certified what Iudicatures are to be accounted Exotique and Forraigne?
A88948	But why is not the whole Church the whole much people that beleeved?
A88948	But why must these foure particulars be proved?
A88948	But will it follow hereupon that one particular Christian hath power to Excommunicate another in case of Obstinacy?
A88948	Can a man sustain no relation, but all his actions must be actions of that relation?
A88948	Can any man imagine they would thus have spoken, if themselves had already found out the men, and likewise had imposed hands upon them?
A88948	Can not a man be an husband, or a parent,& c. but his actions of plowing sowing,& c. must needs be performed by him, as he is a husband, or parent?
A88948	Can one Epistle be delivered to sundry or severall assemblies at one time?
A88948	Can our ● ● ● ● ing be one thing, and our mind another?
A88948	Counsell and advise may be administred and given by them, who have also power to command?
A88948	Doth he prove the contrary to what is here affirmed by us?
A88948	Doth right in one Person or Assembly to end their ma ● ● ers if they be able, extempt them from being under the command of others?
A88948	Doth the accession of neighbours to a Congregation take away from such a Congregation the essence of a Church which it had before?
A88948	Else why should these be objected, and answered as ours?
A88948	Else, else what?
A88948	First he saith, Appeales being warranted by the Counsell which Iethro gave to Moses — can not but be naturall?
A88948	For Timothy being an Evangelist, how could any ordinary Presbytery have authority over him, or give office or authority to him?
A88948	For can it be denyed but such a Congregation is a Church, as well as the other?
A88948	For may not as much bee said of them as here is said of Discipline?
A88948	For were they so many in England in the dayes of Queen Mary?
A88948	For what great difference is there between a sign of prayer and a benedictory signe?
A88948	For what though a Concionall rebuking be performed by one, and a Iuridicall by many?
A88948	For who knoweth not that there might be a numerous multitude, and yet but one Congregation?
A88948	For why may there not bee appeales from them in whom no independen ● ie of Policie is seated?
A88948	Have we delivered any such thing, that Antioch had right to determine against the truth?
A88948	How can that be?
A88948	How is it cleere that the greatst part of the Church at Antioch was against the truth?
A88948	How is this I say made good by affirming, that neither the Congregation nor the Synod is the highest?
A88948	How shall we be sure that those who laid on hands were the first born?
A88948	I mean not onely by themselves; but also by others, who are farre more in number then they?
A88948	I suppose it is easie to see the insufficiency and invalidity of such Consequences?
A88948	If any aske why may not this Consequence be owned?
A88948	If it be not, how is our Tenent removed?
A88948	If it be our meaning, how can it be hoped that we do not mind it?
A88948	If it be said they may, I would know: quo jure?
A88948	If it was nothing but a signe of praying over then, then why is a consummatory rite and a benedictory signe gainsaid and opposed?
A88948	If our Brother intend it not for a removall thereof, why is it brought in for answer to an Objection proposed by himselfe as ours?
A88948	If that saying of ours be not sound, why doth he not returne some answer?
A88948	If the Elders were but a part of the first born, then how could all the first born be Elders by office?
A88948	If there must be an highest, must it needs be yeelded that the Synod and not the Congregation is that highest?
A88948	If this be a duty, it is more then I yet understand?
A88948	If this follow not, what needs it?
A88948	Is meant Discipline?
A88948	Is there any necessary or clear consequence in such a proposition?
A88948	Is there any such necessary consequence here, that the one of these must needs follow upon the other?
A88948	Is there in this any thing at all that doth make for the removall of our opinion, as himselfe hath see it down in his Objection?
A88948	Is there no rebuking of offenders for their faults, but only in a way of ● ● ● ● ction and Discipline?
A88948	Is this Consequence strong and cleere?
A88948	Is this good arguing, appeales to exotique Indicatures are not warrantable, Ergo a Synod and not the Congregation is the supreame Iudicature?
A88948	It must then be the consequence that must be denyed, or the conclusion must be yeelded: what then brings he to overthrow the consequence?
A88948	Let this be granted also, and are we ever a whit neerer to the point, then before?
A88948	Let this be granted also, and are we not still where we were before?
A88948	May it not neverthelesse be denyed that this rebuking was any other then in a Doctrinall way?
A88948	May not his reader be induced hereby to think that we had spoken otherwise?
A88948	Must we prove a negative: and is that saying, Affirmanti incumbit ● ● us probandi, now become unreasonable, unnecessary, or of no force?
A88948	Neither formally, nor virtually?
A88948	None will you say?
A88948	Nothing lesse: for how can our Brother prove that it lyes in the one and not in the other, by saying as here he doth, that indeed it lyes in neither?
A88948	Now how shall it appeare that any such Independent supream power of jurisdiction is given to any of those Presbyteries?
A88948	Now if Sacraments be thus excellent and effectuall, how is it that in the place wee have in hand, Discipline is made more necessary then they?
A88948	Now if this be all the necessity that is in Discipline, how is Discipline more necessary then Sacraments?
A88948	Now if this multitude was gathered together not in one assembly but diverse, how could the Epistle being but one, be delivered to them all?
A88948	Now if this reasoning be good from one Act to all, why is no this as good, from all to any one or to some one?
A88948	Now to what end was thus much disputation, if they had no right to determine the matter?
A88948	Now what answer doth he returne to this passage?
A88948	Now what doth our Reverend Brother returne in his Answer?
A88948	Now what have we said in this matter?
A88948	Now what saith Mr. Rutherford hereunto?
A88948	Now what saith Mr. Rutherford to this?
A88948	Now what shall be said or done in this ● ase?
A88948	Or any words equivalent thereto?
A88948	Or did they not transgresse their line in attempting what they did attempt?
A88948	Or doth he so much as once attempt the cleering thereof?
A88948	Or doth the place make any mention of Church- power, and Church government at all?
A88948	Or how is that Consequence made good, that if there must be appeales till we come to the highest, then the Synod is the highest?
A88948	Or how will it be avoided but by the like reason, one Elder alone may Excommunicate in case there be no other Elders to joyne with him?
A88948	Or how will it follow, if a Church shall abuse their power, that other Churches in such eases may take away the power from such a Church?
A88948	Or if housholdere have such right, doth it follow that therefore they are under no command, in Church and Common- wealth?
A88948	Or is there so much as one word that looketh that way?
A88948	Or shall we say that they who want ability to doe things as they should be done, do therefore want right to ● ● al ● in them at all?
A88948	Or shall wee say it is not so much?
A88948	Sat magistrabiter: would it not do well first to disprove and confute, and then to censure, rather then to censure first?
A88948	Shall the Congregation now have the free exercise of its power, or shall it not?
A88948	Shall we say the whole Church is more then the people that beleeved?
A88948	Shall we thinke the offence fals not within our Saviours remed or complaint or Appeale here?
A88948	Suppose a Congregation have an incompleate power when they have neighbours, how shall it appeare that when they are alone their power is now compleat?
A88948	Suppose it were a meeting for matter of Discipline, must it needs be a meeting for Elders alone, without the presence of the faithfull?
A88948	Suppose the case were extraordinary and rare, may they violate the ordinary rules of Christ?
A88948	Suppose this be so, what can there be concluded hence, that makes against us?
A88948	Take Ordination as we do, and why can not this be?
A88948	That that remedie of our Saviour, Tell the Church, is not needfull in any Church above a Nationall?
A88948	That the Church at Corinth did not all meet in one Congregation: How shall we be assured that such a thing is evinced by the place?
A88948	The Consequence is not cleere, for who knoweth not that there may be power to rebuke, where there is no power of Excommunication?
A88948	The people have not either formally or by grant of Christ virtually, the keyes committed to them, how then can they give the keyes to Pastors?
A88948	These are our words in the place alledged by Mr. Rutherford: now what doth he answer thereto?
A88948	This sence of the place must needs bee received, else how shall the Apostles words bee reconciled and stand together?
A88948	To what end therefore was it to make shew of removing or weakening what he had said, sith when it comes to the issue, he plainly concurs with us?
A88948	True say they, they come together, but how?
A88948	We have a little sister, what shall we do for her?
A88948	We say, that if the magistrate be an enemy to Religion, may not the Church without him conveen and renew a Covenant with God?
A88948	What if ten Brethren offend the whole or part?
A88948	Whence doth it seeme that we do so make it?
A88948	Why may wee not say, there must bee liberty of Appeales from all Synods and Presbyteries, except onely the generall Councill?
A88948	Will Mr. Rutherford deny it to be l ● wfull for any to be present at matters of Discipline, but onely the Elders?
A88948	and if they were Princes and Magistrates how could they be considered in this act as Ecclesiasticall Elders?
A88948	can not appeales be Naturall, but the supremacie of Synods over Congregations must needs follow?
A88948	do they fall short of their duty, if they do not thus assemble, and impose the Covenant?
A88948	doth it not plainly appear hereby, that more then Elders, even all the Saints in those places are written unto in those Epistles?
A88948	doth not the Scripture say, that when Rehoboam, forsook the Lord, all Israel did the same with him?
A88948	doth this strongly overthrow that saying, which was censured for so weak?
A88948	may not one and the same Church assemble for diverse ends and actions?
A88948	might they not better have spared their paines?
A88948	or how doth it therfore follow that Imposition of hands was not a consummatory rite or benedictory signe, but somthing more?
A88948	or if all the first born were by office Elders, then how could the Elders be but a part of the first born?
A88948	or was it to make his confutation of us more easie, then it would have been, if our own words had been retained and kept?
A88948	th Objection, as that which he undertakes to answer?
A88948	was this to burden our opinion or apprehension with a greater odium then our words in his own judgement will beare?
A88948	were they so many in Scotland in the dayes of popish Princes, afore the reformation?
A88948	what if they meet for the admission of members also, or for censuring delinquents?
A88948	what should hinder but the peoples election might contain the substance of a Ministers calling notwithstanding?
A88948	where are the texts of Scripture that speak of such power?
A88948	yea, possibly for diverse upon one day?
A50248	2, 3, 4. and what was this denying the Power of Godliness that is charged upon them?
A50248	2.15, 16. and shall we say, that notwithstanding all this, they were received into compleat and immediate membership by their personal faith,& c?
A50248	224, 225?
A50248	26. was entring into a new Membership?
A50248	3. could answer all that is said in this Proposition?
A50248	4 of being ● e ● alone in their wickedness?
A50248	49 why may not the like be said of those who are onely Baptized in voto?
A50248	52. why should it be thought a dangerous matter to agree thereunto for the Substance thereof?
A50248	59?
A50248	7 — 10. doth not that import an injunction to the Churches unto which they did belong, to Excommunicate them, if they had not already done it?
A50248	A Parents Faith, Prayers, and Covenant may live, though hi ● self be dead: But how?
A50248	A meer contrary Affirmation, how can it go for a sufficient Confutation?
A50248	Adam was a Member of fallen Mankinde, and so are we, though he came to be so by his own personal act, and we by him, or by his act for us?
A50248	Againe, how came Esau to lose his Membership?
A50248	And Cartwright to ● ● at Question, What are the Duties of the rest of the Church that are pres ● nt at a C ● i ● des Baptisme?
A50248	And do we not then express this, that the Parent whose Child ● is to be Baptized must be a Confederate visible Believer?
A50248	And doth not this Neglect make way for I ● religion and Apostacy in Churches, no Church- way being used toward these for prevent ● ng thereof?
A50248	And doth not this sufficiently imply, That children in those Churches, when adult, were under Discipline in those Churches?
A50248	And for ability to examine themselves, can not this be wanting ▪ but the want of the being of faith must be inferred thence?
A50248	And how came the Children of Abraham by Keturah to lose their Membership?
A50248	And how can the Doctrine in hand have any such natural tendency?
A50248	And if their communion with the Church did not cease, but continue, how can it be avoided but they were under Church- discipline?
A50248	And if this be true, is it not then true, that if the Parents continue in the Covenant, the Seed of such Parents are also part of the Church?
A50248	And in another place( b) unto this Question, To whom is the Lords Supper to be given?
A50248	And indeed how can it?
A50248	And indeed, how can it be otherwise?
A50248	And indeed, how can that be taken for an Ordinance of Christ, which is not according to Scripture?
A50248	And is not the Arguing of the Reverend Author much like it?
A50248	And is there no danger of Corruption by Over- straitning the Subject of Baptism?
A50248	And we di ● ● ered about this, Who are visible Believers?
A50248	And what shall become of Children when their Parents are dead( as how many F ● therle ● s and Motherless Children are amo ● g us?)
A50248	And when the Apostle bids Timothy, turn away from such; doth not this simply that they were Scandalous persons, and apparently wicked?
A50248	And who ever made a specifical distinction of that, so as to say( in that sense) some are Mediate Subjects, and some Immediate?
A50248	And why not?
A50248	And why will not this follow?
A50248	Are all the adult persons, whom they admit into Membership, such as the Proposition describes?
A50248	Are not we as truely, personally, and immediately Members of the Body of fallen Mankinde, as Adam was?
A50248	Besides, how shall we know a thing to be an Ordinance of Christ, if it be not according to the Scripture?
A50248	But as mediate as their Member ● ● ip is, here is somewhat added, that shall touch these adult Children themselves; and what is that?
A50248	But can we not deal with Arguments, without being supposed to reflect upon the Persons each of other?
A50248	But did either of them ple ● d for greater strictness then the Synod doth?
A50248	But for the other, of being Immediate Members, why doth not this follow from their being partakers of the Covenant, the formalis ratio of Membership?
A50248	But how do they agree therein, if for all this in graffing there be something between the stock and them?
A50248	But how shall they be reconciled, if the latter, as well as the former, be meant of the Church- visible?
A50248	But if this denial do deny them to have any part in the Lord, and so make them cease from fea ● ing the Lord, how can it be but as is said?
A50248	But is there any Proof of the contrary to what the Synod affirmeth?
A50248	But is this certain, that a different way of covenanting, makes a different kinde of membership?
A50248	But is this certain, that neither Rule in Scripture, nor good Reason, will give warrant for such charity as is mentioned?
A50248	But is this certain, that the Parents in question are visibly breakers of the covenant?
A50248	But is this which is here affirmed certain and clear, that want of the ability and exercise spoken of, doth argue want of the very being of Faith?
A50248	But shall we therefore deny or scruple their Admission thereunto?
A50248	But then how can this stand which is there said, that such persons are not under the Watch, Discipline and Government of the Church?
A50248	But to that Question, Would you admit all sorts to the Lor ● s Supper?
A50248	But what is all this to the Children of our Churches?
A50248	But what is all this to the matter in hand?
A50248	But what is there in this to overthrow the Synods Assertion?
A50248	But what weight is there in this, to weaken the Synods Argument?
A50248	But where is there any thing to shew that the administration of Baptism, pointed to by the Synod, is undue?
A50248	But why do not the things mentioned avail to put the Parent into Church- fellowship?
A50248	But why doth not this Reason and Text prove the thing intended by the Synod?
A50248	But why doth this Text speak nothing for the advantage of the Synod?
A50248	But why should we use personal membership in so improper a sence, or insist on a sence that toucheth not the cause in question?
A50248	But why then is this Proposition stuck at?
A50248	But will any say, that to be a childe of a Church- member is no priviledge at all to a childe, but onely to the Father?
A50248	By the Covenant God gives himself to be a God to his People, and to their seed in their generations, Gen. 17. and shall we say this is nothing?
A50248	Calvin in his Geneva- cate ● hism, to that Question, Whether Pasters may give the Sacraments to all?
A50248	Can distracted persons do so?
A50248	Can persons be truly called Holy, as in the Text alledged, or an Holy seed, as Ezra 9. and yet not be Members of the visible Church?
A50248	Can there be such Vigilancy, Care and Endeavours towards such as are no ● under the watch of the Church at all?
A50248	Can they be Israelites, and not Israel, in the same respect?
A50248	Do ye not judge them that are within?
A50248	Doth he deny that it is want of opportunity that hinders the Parents from doing what is required in the fifth Proposition?
A50248	Doth it not plainly appear thereby, that a different way and means of being in Covenant, doth not make a different sort of Membership?
A50248	For what hath the Church to do to judge men without?
A50248	For what is more easie then for an offender to forsake the Assembly, to separate himself,& c?
A50248	For, can we think that those Churches had no Church- discipline in them?
A50248	For, doth not the Vigilancy of Church- Elders, import some kinde of Church- watchfulness?
A50248	For, is any Parent such a procreant cause of his childs Being by gen ● raci ● n, as not to be instrumental under God therein?
A50248	God is Almighty, and All- sufficient, and is it nothing to have such a God to be a God to us, and to our seed?
A50248	Here we see are various wayes of covenanting; but shall we say that these do infer divers kinds of membership?
A50248	How can a Separation be properly pertinacious and incurable, or appear so to be, till the means of Church discipline have been used?
A50248	How strangely is this misapplied to the matter in hand( b)?
A50248	How then is it here said, that the Synod would not let this which themselves acknowledged, be expressed, though our Vnity lay at the stake for it?
A50248	How then?
A50248	If In, why is Baptism denied to their Children?
A50248	If Out, how co ● e they so to be?
A50248	If he be without, why should you disown him, any more then you do Non- members, or such as were never joyned to the Church?
A50248	If it be said, that the baptizing of these in question hardens the Parent?
A50248	If it may not be granted that they continue Members, why should not something be produced to prove the contrary?
A50248	If some Authors have so distinguished Members, yet where is such a distinction of Membership?
A50248	If the meaning onely be that Infants do not enter into Covenant by an act of their own proper persons; who ever said or thought they did?
A50248	If the persons described in the Proposition be said to be broken off, what is this l ● ss then the thing that is so disowned?
A50248	If then the union of Members with the Church be ● ● graffing, how can it be avoided but it must be immediate, and so they be immediate Members?
A50248	If therefore the children spoken of be in the Covenant, how can the deniall of Baptism to them be any other then is said?
A50248	If therefore there were these three differences, and as many more, between the cases alledged, yet where is there any difference in the main point?
A50248	If they be breakers of it, then sure they are comprehended in it: for, how can men break the Covenant, wh ● ch they are not in?
A50248	If this will not suffice, but there must be some other qualifications besides, and superadded unto this, what shall become of them?
A50248	Is Regular Communion so good and excellent, and can it be hurtful for Churches to agree and consent to Practise it?
A50248	Is it an act of covenanting, which is the instrumental means?
A50248	Is it come to this, that Children are not Members of any Instituted Church?
A50248	Is it covenan ●-interest, which is the formalis ratio of membership?
A50248	Is it divine gran ●, and institution, which is the principal efficient?
A50248	Is it not a main point in ingraffing, that the union between the branch and the stock be immediate, and that nothing lye between them?
A50248	Is not here plain suitableness in the Similitude?
A50248	Is not this a rendring of them, in respect of their children, in a worse condition then formerly?
A50248	Is their giving up themselves and ● h ● ● r children to the Lord, a cause to cut off their children from having any part in the Lord?
A50248	Is there no danger of putting those: out of the visible Church, whom Christ would have kept in?
A50248	May there not be the being and truth of that grace, even there where the exercise of it is much wanting?
A50248	No we do not see that he denieth this at all?
A50248	Now can the neglect of Church- watchfulness be a cause of this evil, if the Lord have not appointed them to be under the same?
A50248	Now doth not this prove the thing intended?
A50248	Now if they be breakers of it, is it not thereby clear that they are comprehended in it?
A50248	Now we demand, how they can be admitted as Members ▪ who are already as compleat, and perfect Members as any in the Chur ● h?
A50248	Now what saith the Reverend Author to these Proofs?
A50248	Now what saith the Reverend Author to these?
A50248	Now what saith the Reverend Author to this in his Reply?
A50248	Now what saith the Reverend Author to this?
A50248	Now what saith the Reverend Author to this?
A50248	Now what saith the Reverend Author unto this?
A50248	Now what saith the Reverend Author unto this?
A50248	Psal 50 16. but doth the Lord say this to such as were qualified as in this fifth Proposition?
A50248	That Interest in the Covenant is the main ground of title to Baptism?
A50248	That more then membership is also requisite to the receiving of the Lords Supper?
A50248	That when they are grown up, they are not under the watch, discipline and government of the Church?
A50248	The Lord knows how many may from outward Membership in the visible Church, drop to Hell; and does not their Death put an end to their Membership?
A50248	The Synod, to shew that Children are actual, complea ●, and immediate members, asketh, what do they want hereunto?
A50248	The words of the Text are express and plain, What have I to do to judge them also that are without?
A50248	To some indeed the Lord saith, What hast thou to do to take my covenant in thy mo ● th?
A50248	To use it, being not so qualified visibly, is it not a treacherous usurping of the Great Seal of the King of Heaven and Earth?
A50248	VVhat if all this were granted?
A50248	W ● at is t ● is Disow ● ing?
A50248	We demand, whether this Disowning be not a putting one out of the Church, that was before in it?
A50248	We demand, whether this does not fully yield the Cause, and give us as much as we need to the matter in hand?
A50248	We have known an Antipoedebaptist flie to this as his Sheat- Anchor[ Infants are Members; ● ut how?
A50248	We might also ask whether such a member of reasoning as is here used would prove Women to be no Members of an Instituted Church?
A50248	Wh ● t state of fitness was the unclean Iewish Parent in, but onely a state of membership?
A50248	What proof is there, that except this be done, there can be no ground for the charitable judgement that is mentioned?
A50248	What shall be said then of little children?
A50248	What then doth the Reverend Author here say?
A50248	What though the voluntary Combination, mentioned by by Mr. Rutherfurd, in his sense doth inferre a Classical Membership and Iurisdiction?
A50248	What though there be no mention of Church- censure in the Texts alledged?
A50248	Who ever said that any were broken off for growing up to adult age?
A50248	Why doth it not follow, that if God did establish the Church of the Iews by a progress of the Covenant, that therefore he doth so now?
A50248	Why should such a thing be barely affirmed, and not proved?
A50248	and if his deni ● l do cause that they have no part in the Lord, doth it not also cause their Irreligion and ● postacy?
A50248	and if so, what should hinder but that Children, when grown up, may as well be under Church- discipline now, as under the Old Testament?
A50248	and is not that all one, as to have true Faith in the judgement o ● Charity?
A50248	and is not their subjection to Church- discipline, when adult, in the new Testament, rightly inferred from the like subjection in the Old?
A50248	and is there not the like reason of other punishments, whether Ecclesiastical or Civil?
A50248	and might they be then under Church- discipline, and yet now not so, because here there is not par ratio?
A50248	and the want of children even in married persons to be by Gods restraining hand, and sh ● tting up the W ● ● b?
A50248	and what could all their Profession, and Faith, and Actings do, if God did not vouchsafe to take them into Covenant?
A50248	and where shall we have Scripture- warrant for such a Church- disowning as is not Excommuni ● ation?
A50248	are they In the Church, or Out?
A50248	are they Members of the Catholick visible Church?
A50248	be a sufficient proof thereof?
A50248	can men be faulty for not performing Covenant- engagements, when they are not comprehended in the Covenant?
A50248	can men cease from fearing the Lord, and from having any par ● in h ● ●, and yet this not tend to Apostacy and Irreligion?
A50248	can one be bound by that which is not in being?
A50248	do they take a right course to know they are such?
A50248	doth not this plainly shew, that Parents are but Instrumental under God in the begetting of Children?
A50248	for if it was so with the Jews children, is it not also so with ours, according to the Synods arguing?
A50248	for, may they be now Baptized in their infancy, as then they were Circumcised, because there is in both par ratio?
A50248	how much more those who never had such membership?
A50248	i. e. Virtually, in the virtue and effect of them: And how is that?
A50248	i. e. What have they more then this, that they are regularly( by the Rules of Gods Word, and his Institution therein) within the visible Church?
A50248	if not, is it not a vain thing?
A50248	must we binde the Holy- Ghost to mention all Truths and Rules together in one Text or Context?
A50248	no, not in the least degree?
A50248	or are they no Members at all?
A50248	or are they such breakers of it, who if they have not publickly acted as aforesaid, the reason hath been, because they have been inevitably hindred?
A50248	or farre removed, and when Children are sui juris, and not under the wings of their Parents?
A50248	or how can it be denied, but that this ariseth from their different qualifications?
A50248	or that it is an undue Administration of B ● ptism to extend it further then the Lords Supper?
A50248	or that the Members of them were not under that Discipline?
A50248	or the children, when grown up, were not Members?
A50248	or to administer Baptism to some unto whom we do not administer the Lords Supper?
A50248	or to what purpose is that?
A50248	shall they be Owned ▪ or Disowned?
A50248	such as they are capable of, though not of all; and then why may not the like be yielded concerning the adult persons spoken of?
A50248	that might help them toward Heaven?
A50248	there being cause for it?
A50248	to what purpose should this be?
A50248	we suppose this can not be denied; and therefore if a progress of the Covenant did establish the Church then, why not so now?
A50248	were they not Scandalous in life, but did give up themselves to the Lord, and subject themselves to the Government of Christ in his Church?
A50248	what course do they take to know it?
A50248	what need we labour in finding out distinctions to deny them that which no body ever challenged for them?
A50248	what shall then become of Gods institution in this matter?
A50248	when as the offence doth not cut off the Parents Membership, is there any reason it should cut off the Membership of the Childe?
A50248	— And why may not the Church deny Baptism to any childe of a believing Parent?
A50248	● ez ●, concerning the Question who are to be Baptized?
