A47522 | who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? |
A60617 | & thy self? |
A60617 | Are you doing in this as you would be done by? |
A60617 | But how do the Scriptures try and judge the spirits of men, according to thy Meaning? |
A60617 | Canst thou tell us the Longitude or Latitude of this Story? |
A60617 | Canst thou, or any man, rationally draw such a Conclusion? |
A60617 | Have you heard the Voice of God and Christ to tell you your Errand, and to send you forth with it? |
A60617 | How absurd art thou in thy Conclusion? |
A60617 | How hath the poor man been drawn out and squeezed by Inquirers, to answer the End which thou Unjustly hast begun? |
A60617 | Is that manifest which lies obscure? |
A60617 | Is this an Infallible Conclusion, that R. A. was a Quaker? |
A60617 | Must he needs be a Quaker because he was led by such a spirit, as thou sayst? |
A60617 | Must his saying or confessing, That the Substance of the Narrative was all Truth, make him a Quaker? |
A60617 | Must the Letter try and judge the Light? |
A60617 | No: And what did he attest? |
A60617 | Rep. Dost thou infer from this Matter, that Richard Anderson was a Quaker? |
A60617 | Rep. What is there in all this to make R. A. a Quaker? |
A60617 | That he heard the Quakers at Lincoln about the space of an hour: Well, and what then? |
A60617 | Whether he himself had not a Child presently after that was Leprous? |
A60617 | Wouldst thou make the Greater subordinate to the Lesser? |
A60617 | and is not that obscure which can not be demonstrated? |
A60617 | did any other attest it besides R. A.? |
A60617 | have such no Guide to lead them to fear God, and work Righteousness, to be accepted of him? |
A60617 | must he therefore be a Quaker? |
A60617 | or doth it corrupt such as receive it, and live in it? |
A60617 | or must they of necessity perish for want of the Scriptures to be their Guide? |
A60617 | or whether can such a People be saved? |
A60617 | wouldst tho ● impose these things upon us from thy vain Conclusions? |
A41790 | & c. As these things can not be denied, so we may justly enquire how it comes to pass that they do thus? |
A41790 | ( meaning for things indifferent) Therefore who art thou that judgest another mans Servant? |
A41790 | 10. or be Pauls fellow- souldiers and fellow Labourers? |
A41790 | 2. and is that which we call a Doctrin ● of Christ? |
A41790 | 2. may not be figuratively understood, for the Holy Spirit which was given thereby? |
A41790 | 20. of which Christ in the same place is said to be the corner stone? |
A41790 | 2? |
A41790 | Acts 19. having no such blessing to communicate, as they had? |
A41790 | Again, It would be understood how long the power our brethren gives to men to act as Elders in those Congregations doth remain? |
A41790 | And also how many several Congregations they may act in as Pastours by consent? |
A41790 | And he[ that is Jesus] said unto them[ that is his Disciples] what things? |
A41790 | And here let me seriously ask our Brethren, what manner of instruction they give young Disciples, concerning this matter? |
A41790 | And here we will take notice of your demand, Where the Apostles Laid Hands upon any after they had received the Holy Ghost? |
A41790 | And how much comes this short of the power committed to any messenger in the World at this day? |
A41790 | And what devourer shall we be able to keep out( that hath but craft to get in) if once this door of dispensing with principles of Religion be opened? |
A41790 | Because others are gone before, is it a shame for us to come after? |
A41790 | But then I would know, how we can rightly own that principle, if we destroy the practick part? |
A41790 | But what shall we say, do none attain to all the principles, nor to every part of the foundation, but such as fall after Baptism? |
A41790 | But what shall we say, shall we render railing for railing? |
A41790 | But why dost thou judge thy Brother, or set at nought thy Brother? |
A41790 | But why so? |
A41790 | But why so? |
A41790 | Doubtless he ought; yet who can imagine, that such gifts as Tongues, Miracles,& c. should be given to each individual? |
A41790 | For if you deem them to be no Churches at all, what need any debate be had, Whether it be orderly or safe to communicate with them at the Lords Table? |
A41790 | For, do they not frequently send out men to act Authoritatively both in preaching the Gospel to them that are without? |
A41790 | Have ye received the Holy Ghost SINCE ye believed? |
A41790 | Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? |
A41790 | How might Paul and Silvanus have been burthensome? |
A41790 | Insomuch then he obtained not that, how came he by the Holy Ghost? |
A41790 | It had certainly made nul ● that ordinance almost totally, for who doth not now a- days presently suppose himself to be baptized with the Spiri ●? |
A41790 | It were strange now if our Lord Christ should have none to withstand these, if need be with an are they Apostles? |
A41790 | Must we then conclude, that there is no agreement between their prayer, and the prayer of the Church in those dayes? |
A41790 | Our Brethren demand of us, whether those qualifications which gives right to B ● ptism, do not give right to the Lords Table? |
A41790 | Shall mortal man be more just than God? |
A41790 | Surely he professes to do this, at the time he wrote to them; and indeed, how else could he lead them on to perfection? |
A41790 | The Antecedent can not be denied, without manifest danger to all the principles of Christs Doctrine; for if one be abolished, then why not the rest? |
A41790 | The Fathers where are they, and the Prophets do they live for ever? |
A41790 | The gift of tongues? |
A41790 | The major is true, otherwise they ran before they were sent; and then how could they preach? |
A41790 | What we? |
A41790 | Whether they be true Churches of Christ or not? |
A41790 | Whether they thenceforth stand equally engaged to Oversee those Churches, as the Church that first called them to serve as Pastors? |
A41790 | Whether this be not a sufficient ground for them to doubt, whether that laying on of hands practised by us be instituted by God? |
A41790 | Would he not teach the Christians concerning the knowledge of Christ in the more sublime points of Christianity? |
A41790 | Would it not be absurd now to say, that Peter did communicate the blessing of tongues here? |
A41790 | Ye did run well, who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth? |
A41790 | and remitting the penitent? |
A41790 | by ordaining them Elders, and dispencing to them the holy Ordinances? |
A41790 | in setting things in order in remote Congregations? |
A41790 | or how they principle them in it, or build them upon it? |
A41790 | so am I, as well as with an are they Mnisters of Christ? |
A41790 | to exercise Discipline by Excommunication of offenders? |
A41780 | & c. Would not their Conscience flie in their Face if they should so speak? |
A41780 | ( as the Antients used to call it) except the Baptized Churches? |
A41780 | * But how then shall Infants be saved if Baptism belong not to them? |
A41780 | 1, 2, 3. do not as much prohibit one Man for having two Wives, as one Woman for having two Husbands? |
A41780 | 1, 2,& c. be not the true Church of Christ? |
A41780 | 7. be not clear Texts, that the Holy Spirit proceedeth from the Father, and the Son? |
A41780 | Also, whether it be not absurd for you to ask for clear Texts, to prove unwritten things? |
A41780 | Also, whether this be not an opprobrious, and ignominious Speech, for you to call the Scripture a dead Letter? |
A41780 | And especially when this is the question, What sort of Christians are the true Church of Christ? |
A41780 | And then, whether it be not clear, that all the Texts, which speak of Baptism in Water, do prohibit Infant- Baptism? |
A41780 | And where are the Original Manuscripts of the Prophets and Apostles? |
A41780 | And whether the Baptized Churches( commonly called Anabaptists) do not excel in these Particulars, all other Churches whatsoever? |
A41780 | And whether the Papists have not confessed, in many of their Books, that Infant- Baptism is not found in, nor grounded upon the Scripture? |
A41780 | And whether the Woman which St. John saw( called Mystery Bablyon) be not meant of Rome? |
A41780 | And whether the first clear mention of it be not from Tertullian? |
A41780 | And whether the one Baptism be not expresly found in the Scriptures? |
A41780 | And whether the true Lovers of the Scriptures, ever vouchsafed them such ill, and indeed improper Language? |
A41780 | And whether the written Word of God be a perfect Rule for Matters of Religion? |
A41780 | And whether there be not as clear Texts to prove unwritten Traditions, Purgatory, and the Real Presence? |
A41780 | And, whether it do not clearly prohibit the latter? |
A41780 | Can we think that when the Holy Apostles preached, that they had still the very self- same Phrases? |
A41780 | Dare they speak as they act? |
A41780 | Did St. Paul mock after that sort? |
A41780 | Did St. Peter do so? |
A41780 | For what is the most ancient Record? |
A41780 | For, is not this the Faith of all sound Christians? |
A41780 | From whom shall the Church hide her self? |
A41780 | How know you precisely what is the true Word of God? |
A41780 | How know you that your Copies and Translations of the Bible, are the true Word of God, since the Original Writings are not come to your Hands? |
A41780 | In what manner is Christ present under these Forms? |
A41780 | Of the Case of Infants, or whether they were admitted to Baptism in the Mother- Church? |
A41780 | Or for changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? |
A41780 | Or for prohibiting Poligamy, or Infant- Baptism? |
A41780 | The Priest saith again, What shalt thou get by Faith? |
A41780 | Then the Priest asks the Infant, whether he renounces the Devil and all his Works, and all his Pomps? |
A41780 | These can not speak for themselves, more than the Scriptures: And whether, the Scriptures being compared together, do not explain themselves? |
A41780 | What Church can you name that hath that Mark? |
A41780 | What Controversie in point of Religion can you resolve without the Written Word of God? |
A41780 | What Copies and Translations of the Scriptures have you that are more true than ours? |
A41780 | What clear Text have you out of the Scriptures, for the Procession of the Holy Ghost from the Father, and the Son? |
A41780 | What is the Blessed Eucharist? |
A41780 | What, came the Word of God out from you? |
A41780 | When we differ about the true Church, or the Meaning of Authors[ be they Fathers, or Councils] by whom must we be tried? |
A41780 | Where we differ about the Sense of the Word, by whom must we be tried? |
A41780 | Whether Vniversality both for time and place, be not an evident Mark of the true Church? |
A41780 | Whether any man can shew this Mark, as it is here called for, without the help of Human History? |
A41780 | Whether some Book must not of necessity speak for it self[ or be received for God''s Word upon its own Evidence?] |
A41780 | Whether the Baptism of the true Church be not One? |
A41780 | Whether we are to resolve all Differences in point of Religion, only out of the Written Word of God? |
A41780 | Whether you have really this Mark? |
A41780 | and by what Rule any man can call Sprinkling Baptizing? |
A41780 | and how might they abuse the World, and all the Churches in the World at pleasure? |
A41780 | and whether Human History be infallibly true, so as to be a ground for Divine Faith? |
A41780 | and whether her Cup was not universally received, so that all Nations were made Drunk thereby? |
A41780 | and whether the Holy Scriptures do not best deserve that privilege? |
A41780 | and whether the Learned do not confess that he opposed it in the third Century as an irrational and unwarrantable Custom? |
A41780 | and whether the Scriptures do not prohibit all Baptism of Water, beside that one? |
A41780 | and whether they are not in many things contradictory? |
A41780 | and whether those which remain have not been much altered? |
A41780 | as by adding or taking away, and who should correct the Original? |
A41780 | that is, dare they say, I sprinkle thee in the Name of the Father? |
A47612 | ( is it done?) |
A47612 | 1 BElievers now, what have you more, what have you more to do; But to sing Praise to God on high from whom your help doth flow? |

A47612 | 3 My Lust I will fulfill, My Sword draw out will I? |

A47612 | 6 Anthems of Joy, of Love, and Praise; and Hallelujahs sing; Who would be fond of this vain World, from whence such Sorrows spring? |
A47612 | 6 How may we then continually in Jesus Christ rejoyce, And sing to him melodiously, with Heart and cheerful Voice? |
A47612 | 6 O dearest Jesus, if a taste of Love be here so sweet, What will it be when we with Thee, our dearest Lord, shall meet? |
A47612 | 6 O let us say, O Lord, Who is it that''s like unto Thee? |
A47612 | 6 Thou sayest, Thy Beloved''s mine? |
A47612 | 6 What is there more, what can we say, but in the great''st amaze, Even stand and think, and evermore sing forth thy Glorious Praise? |
A47612 | 6 Why should I stray and lose my way? |
A47612 | 7 Come Justice, where is now thy Charge; what hast thou now to show? |
A47612 | 7 O fairest One; if thou wouldst know where thou shouldst feed and ly, The foot- steps of the Flock will show the way asuredly? |
A47612 | 7 Why should not Patience make us sing, and God''s great Glory raise? |
A47612 | How can ye see him call to you and you will not come in? |
A47612 | If such a One you meet, whose Eyes like Flames, and Lamps of Fire Strikes Dead, and yet gives Life thereby, t is he that I desire? |
A47612 | My Hand shall now cut them all off, And Ruin utterly? |
A47612 | O see his side, how did it run With purple Gore? |
A47612 | Or, from the hand of the dark Grave, can, Lord, deliver''d be? |
A47612 | Or, if we should go down to Hell, ev''n there thou dost appear? |
A47612 | Sing, Sing, God''s Praise, you ought always, who this rich Pearl have; What would you be, what more can ye ask, seek, desire, or crave? |
A47612 | Tell me, O tell me soon, Where feeds thy Flock; where is the place thou mak''st them rest at Noon? |
A47612 | Then join the number, if you please, Of Stars till there is none? |
A47612 | Thy Curses all did meet in Christ, who did our Surety stand? |
A47612 | WHat cause of Joy ye Saints is here? |
A47612 | Who will refuse our Sharons Rose, that knows its fragrant scent? |
A47612 | Why Cumber they the Ground? |
A47612 | Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A47612 | Will they not hateful all appear when sin is in their sight? |
A47612 | and shall not I? |
A47612 | and shall we saved be? |
A47612 | can you say so? |
A47612 | have you a tender heart? |
A47612 | how shall I then express The depth of thy Immensity? |
A47612 | is there To hide from Thee? |
A47612 | no Sufferer for my Sin? |
A47612 | or Jesus call? |
A47612 | or thy Infiniteness? |
A47612 | the thickest Darkness is to Thee, like to the Light? |
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? |
A85422 | And how impertinent is it in arguing, to suppose that without proof, which a man knoweth is denyed by his adversary? |
A85422 | And the Lord added unto the Church, who? |
A85422 | But how impertinently to his Cause, and with how little proof, is this affirmed? |
A85422 | But passing by this, how impertinently doth he argue that little which he undertakes, in the words mentioned? |
A85422 | But what is there in this passage, to prove that one Baptism, or one kind of Baptism, is the foundation of a Church, more then another? |
A85422 | By what principle in reason is this consequence formed? |
A85422 | Do they affect to be either more wise or more Holy then God? |
A85422 | Doth he judge this rule binding unto us now? |
A85422 | For are they not these? |
A85422 | For if we may take liberty to cast away one Law of Gospel Order, and Worship, then why not two, and so three, and in the end, all? |
A85422 | For what though it never so sufficiently appears that men and women did beleeve before they were baptized? |
A85422 | How much then is a man better then a sheep? |
A85422 | How uncouth, sapless, and without savor, are such conceits and reasonments as these? |
A85422 | If they practise in one case without Example, why do they not the like in the other? |
A85422 | Is the Scripture express for any thing to precede the enjoyment of it self? |
A85422 | Or can any pretence or plea whatsoever render the children of such high misdemeanors excusable before the Judgment Seat of Christ? |
A85422 | Or do all men sin who Prophesy[ i. e. joyn with him that preahcheth the Word, in the act of hearing] with their heads covered? |
A85422 | Or doth he think that that rule, by which those Christians acted in the case specified, is binding unto us now? |
A85422 | Or is not his meaning in saying so many of us as,& c. clearly this, that as many of us Saints, or of us beleevers, who have been baptized? |
A85422 | Such as were baptized? |
A85422 | Tell us were they baptized, or no? |
A85422 | This sence of the place considered, how frivolous and impertinent is this supercilious Interrogatory, which he builds upon it? |
A85422 | What frivolous and empty reasonings are these? |
A85422 | What is this to justifie thee in going in unto them? |
A85422 | Whereas he demands; What is a not admiting, less, then a refusing to admit, them to such communion? |
A85422 | Whereas he demands; Why doth the Querist make circumcision a Gospel rite, which is indeed a rite abolished by the Gospel? |
A85422 | Will he say that women were circumcised? |
A85422 | Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the Truth? |
A85422 | and consequently such Gospel Order layd totally aside? |
A85422 | if two, why not ten, and so an hundred, or a thousand? |
A85422 | or that all those, who were not circumcised in the Wilderness, were excluded from all acts of Church communion for Forty Years together? |
A85422 | or that any kind of Baptism, more then imposition of hands? |
A85422 | or that they were excluded form acts of Church- communion, because they were uncircumcised? |
A85422 | or without a rule binding unto them? |
A41788 | 4, ● ▪ S. Did Christ our Lord die and rise again for all Me ● without exception? |

A41788 | What manner of Repentance is that which you call the second Part? |
A41788 | Who is this Son of Man? |
A41788 | and whether any that were once written in it, may be blotted out of it? |
A41788 | shall it never end? |
A41774 | 1, 2, 3. do not as much prohibit one man for having two Wives, and one woman for having two Husbands? |
A41774 | 12. must have none of these high priviledges allowed it; Is not this a most peccant Assertion? |
A41774 | 15. did they not assemble the Church, and so pronounce Sentence conciliariter, with a visum est Spiritui sancto& nobis? |
A41774 | 7,& c. Do you not here tell us plainly, That God must take up our quarrels* AS he did those of Moses? |
A41774 | 7. be not clear Texts that the holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son? |
A41774 | Also, whether Infant- Baptism was so much as heard of in the first hundred? |
A41774 | Also, whether Rurgatory, and the Real Presence, as you hold them, is not plainly destructive to some Articles of the Christian Faith? |
A41774 | Also, whether a Church, whose gathering, constitution and government is answerable to the Scripture, be not the true Church of Christ? |
A41774 | Also, whether it he not absurd for you to ask for clear Texts to prove unwritten things? |
A41774 | Also, whether there be any that hold the first day under the notion of a Sabbath among the Baptized Churches? |
A41774 | And I asked you, If you would not scorn us, if we should call upon you to appeal unto us as your Judges, Whether we, or you, be the Church? |
A41774 | And I have asked you, How you will effect this difficult work? |
A41774 | And now, how are they turn''d again to Prelacy? |
A41774 | And now, is not this my Observation very pertinent to our case? |
A41774 | And now, what can supply this our necessity? |
A41774 | And then I ask, are they not as questonable, and liable to mis- interpretations, as easily mis- understood as the Records of God? |
A41774 | And then I still ask you, why we may not as well agree our selves this way by the Volumns of the Prophets and Apostles? |
A41774 | And truly otherwise I might( as you foresaw) very possibly tell you, that your Allegation was nothing to the Question, Who must take up the quarrel? |
A41774 | And whether her Cup was not universally received, so that all Nations were drunk thereby? |
A41774 | And whether humane Histories( especially those of the first three hundred) after Christ, were not most, if not all, burnt, which concerned the Church? |
A41774 | And whether the Churches of the Baptists do not therein exceed all other whatsoever? |
A41774 | And whether the Papists have not confessed in many of their Books, that Infant- Baptism is not found in, nor grounded upon the Scripture? |
A41774 | And whether the Scripture doth not prohibit all beside that one? |
A41774 | And whether the Woman that John saw, was not Rome? |
A41774 | And, can we think that Succession to be good which is derived from Devils? |
A41774 | And, whether there be not as clear Texts to prove unwritten Tradition, Purgatory, and the real Presence? |
A41774 | Are not these Monstrous Consequences? |
A41774 | Are not these People kept in darkness? |
A41774 | But I Answer, How shall this be proved to be the Creed? |
A41774 | But I ask once more, To what purpose did you bring them? |
A41774 | But how must we be assured of the truth of the Papal Church, and Tradition? |
A41774 | But is it so? |
A41774 | But saith Paul, How should the unlearned say, Amen? |
A41774 | But what? |
A41774 | But you say, Reason is on my side,& c. and demand by whom we must be tryed, who must take up the quarrel? |
A41774 | Can any thing be said more unworthily? |
A41774 | Can not the Pen of Peter the Apostle give us as good information in this matter, as the Pen of any Pope, pretending to be his Successor? |
A41774 | Did not Christ himself send St. Paul to Ananias for instruction? |
A41774 | Did not some conceive as gross opinions concerning Christ''s saying, men must eat his flesh, as some have by reading them? |
A41774 | Ergo, we must all appeal to the Papal Church of Rome, as our Judge, in this Question, Whether we be of the Church, or not? |
A41774 | Ergo,& c. What a prodigious minor have we here? |
A41774 | First, Cyprian saith, How can we exhort the People to shed their blood for Christ, if we deny them the Blood of him? |
A41774 | For, are not these your words? |
A41774 | Hath God rejected Infants wholly, that now he will not shew them so much favour as afore- time? |
A41774 | How can they defend themselves? |
A41774 | How do they know that a Heathen may, by the Law of Conscience, judge their Church to be more holy than ANY other Congregation of Christians? |
A41774 | How know you precisely what is the true Word of God? |
A41774 | How know you that your Copies and Translations of the Bible are the true Word of God? |
A41774 | How often hath our Nation changed their Religion, with the breath of a Prince? |
A41774 | I perceive our Judgments differ concerning the living voice of the Church, what it is? |
A41774 | If so, why may not we? |
A41774 | If you are not so sent, to what purpose do you alledge this Text? |
A41774 | Is it fit that either party contending, should here give Judgment decissive? |
A41774 | Is it fit that you should be Judge in your own case here? |
A41774 | Is it not strange that men, pretending to be Christ''s true Followers, should thus contradict him? |
A41774 | Is there no difference between the time that now is, and then was? |
A41774 | Is this fair dealing? |
A41774 | Must not that very Assertion of yours be the Consequence to these five Texts? |
A41774 | Or will you say, that these things were never contradicted and censured by other Councils? |
A41774 | Ought we not to be assured of the truth of that Tradition which we receive for the Rule of our Faith? |
A41774 | Ought we not to be assured of the truth of the Church before we receive her documents? |
A41774 | Read the Chapter; saith Paul, If I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you? |
A41774 | THe first of all Controversies is founded upon this Query: What is the authoritative Judge of Controversies? |
A41774 | The third, To appeal to Scripture, and right Reason: But if I challenge them to be on my side, who must take up the difference? |
A41774 | They can not speak for themselves more than the Scripture: and whether the Scriptures, compared together, do not explain themselves? |
A41774 | They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
A41774 | Upon second thoughts, finding your error, by putting the Query, What is become of the living voice of the Church? |
A41774 | VVHat Differences in point of Religion can you resolve without the written Word of God? |
A41774 | VVHether of us be Schismaticks? |
A41774 | VVHether we are to resolve all Differences in point of Religion, only out of the written Word of God? |
A41774 | VVhether Universality both for time and place, be not an evident mark of the true Church? |
A41774 | Were they ever Heathens to know this? |
A41774 | What Church can you name that hath that mark? |
A41774 | What Copies and Translations of the Bible have you that are more true than ours? |
A41774 | What a miserable plunge( of Heathenism or Quakerism) are they brought to here? |
A41774 | What can they say against mens reading the Scripture, which hath not the same force against the hearing of it preached? |
A41774 | What clear Text have you out of Scripture for the procession of the holy Ghost from the Father& the Son? |
A41774 | What have I to do to judge them that are without? |
A41774 | What then must we do? |
A41774 | When we differ about the true Church, and about the meaning of Authors, by whom must we be tryed? |
A41774 | Where we differ about the sense of the Word, by whom must we be tryed? |
A41774 | Whether any man can shew this mark, as it is here call''d for, without the help of humane History? |
A41774 | Whether some Book must not of necessity speak for it self? |
A41774 | Whether the Baptism of the true Church be not one? |
A41774 | Whether we are to resolve all Differences in point of Religion, only out of the written Word of God? |
A41774 | Whether we are to resolve all differences in point of Religion, only out of the written Word of God? |
A41774 | Who must take up this Quarrel? |
A41774 | Will they say, the Church hath a Scripture- Baptism, and an unwritten Baptism? |
A41774 | also, whether it be not an opprobrious and ignominious speech for you to call the Scripture a dead Letter? |
A41774 | and if he do say so, how can he prove it? |
A41774 | and them, have I not reason to cry out, that there never appeared such Monstrous Consequences? |
A41774 | and then, how could any be named that denied the usefulness thereof? |
A41774 | and then, whether it be not clear, that all the Texts which speak of Baptism, do not prohibit Infant- Baptism? |
A41774 | and where are the Original Manuscripts of the Prophets and Apostles? |
A41774 | and whether humane History be a rule or ground for divine Faith? |
A41774 | and whether it do not clearly prohibit the latter? |
A41774 | and whether that one be not expresly found in the Scripture? |
A41774 | and whether the Scripture doth not best deserve this priviledge? |
A41774 | and whether the true lovers of the Scripture ever vouchsafed it such ill, and indeed improper language? |
A41774 | and whether the written Word of God be a perfect Rule for matters of Religion? |
A41774 | and whether those that remain are not contradictory one to another? |
A41774 | and yet whether there be not clear Texts for the religious observation of it? |
A41774 | can you prove them Church- members without Scripture? |
A41774 | do not ye also judge them that are within? |
A41774 | hast thou not led me into a Labyrinth, and run thy self into a sufficient Maze? |
A41774 | in what? |
A41774 | or prohibiting Poligamy, or Infant- Baptism? |
A41774 | or, for changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? |
A41774 | or, how can it be judge of its own sense, when it is alledged on both sides, who both pretend to have the Spirit and Reason on their sides? |
A41774 | the same we are humbly bold to say to you, when you ask us, why we transgress your Traditions? |
A41774 | though we be in doubt, Whether she her self be a true Church, or not? |
A41774 | what Tradition is this they speak of? |
A41774 | what holiness can a Heathen judge of? |
A41782 | ( that is, do I preach the Doctrine of God or Man?) |
A41782 | 13,& c. is express for that laying on of hands which follows Baptism, to be granted to Christ to Infants? |
A41782 | 18. who then may question his Regal Power to be of God? |
A41782 | 18.? |
A41782 | 19, 20. warrant this Practice to the end of the World? |
A41782 | And I pray Sir, consider, whether you could not with a good Conscience translate it so? |
A41782 | And because we are speaking of Ceremonies, we crave leave to enquire, What means the Ceremony of the Ring in Marriage? |
A41782 | And if God hath not Mercy on poor dying Infants, so as to save them all by Christ, pray shew what Mercy he hath upon them? |
A41782 | And if it were so, why should not my Spirit be troubled? |
A41782 | And is it so necessary that the Understanding act in the Duty? |
A41782 | And is the sacred Word of Power to beget us to God, and by the assistance of his Spirit to make us his Children, or Christians? |
A41782 | And on the other side, Whether your Conscience would not accuse you, should you translate the Text, Teach all Nations, sprinkling them? |
A41782 | And saith the Prophet, I have delivered all these Countries into the Hands of Nebuchadnezzar: Who then may take them out of his Hand? |
A41782 | And shall we not exceedingly fear, and stand in awe of that Majesty, which made these Pillars in the Church to tremble? |
A41782 | And then to what purpose are these Rules given? |
A41782 | And then what manner of Men are they that will take Liberty to rail on their Princes, if they do not what they would have them? |
A41782 | And what Christian will not tremble to think of doing any thing against the tenour of his blessed Prayer? |
A41782 | And what Honour can belong to such? |
A41782 | And what Infant did you ever know thus qualified for Baptism? |
A41782 | And what if God, willing to magnify his Mercy and Goodness, has provided a Saviour for the innocent Babes( dying in Infancy) throughout the World? |
A41782 | And what tho 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 signify many Waters? |
A41782 | And where you presently say, They have the Covenant belonging to them with their believing Parents? |
A41782 | And whither would such a Consequence lead us, if we should follow it? |
A41782 | And why? |
A41782 | Are Infants of Jews, Turks, and Indians all of the visible Kingdom of Satan? |
A41782 | Are they not marked out in Scripture for the worst sort of Men, that are not afraid to speak evil of Dignities? |
A41782 | As for me, is my complaint to 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A41782 | But have not the Prophets reproved Kings when they did Evil? |
A41782 | But how shall it be a Power or Government without its Form? |
A41782 | But how then does Mr. Taylor prove his Minor? |
A41782 | But if it should happen that Princes should some way intrench upon the Civil Rights of their Subjects? |
A41782 | But what things are they? |
A41782 | But where now shall this Discipline be found in the Church of England? |
A41782 | But why do our Brethren of the Church of England speak of the Seal in the Singular? |
A41782 | But why may not the good Angels rebuke Satan? |
A41782 | But your Conscience will tell you, it signifies into, as well as to; and indeed you grant it: and then to what putpose do you quarrel our Translation? |
A41782 | But — whether it be right in the sight of God, to hearken unto you more than unto God, judg ye? |
A41782 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy- Ghost as well as we? |
A41782 | Can you think that such Doctrine befriends the Covenant of Grace? |
A41782 | Come they not hence, even from Pride? |
A41782 | Did not God provide by his express Law, that his Sacrifices should not be changed at Man''s Will, a good for a bad, nor a bad for a good? |
A41782 | Do not Men that thus deal with the Word Baptize, make him the Author of all our Contests in this Case? |
A41782 | Do not even Bishops hear Men swear a thousand Oaths, and either do not, or dare not use any Discipline against them? |
A41782 | Does God make an Ordinance or any thing else without Form? |
A41782 | Does any one Assembly, or Court, of the Church of England observe it? |
A41782 | Does not Isaiah cry out against them that presumed to change God''s Ordinances, as Breakers of the everlasting Covenant? |
A41782 | Does plunging or dipping take away the Understanding? |
A41782 | Doth a Fountain give sweet Water and bitter at the same place? |
A41782 | For He that hath this Worlds Good, and sees his Brother want, and shutteth up the Bowels of his Compassion, how dwells the Love of God in him? |
A41782 | For is not Necessity as good a Warrant to take up the practice of, or to restore one Truth as well as another? |
A41782 | From whence come Wars and Fightings? |
A41782 | Has he not sent his Apostles, whose Words have gone to the uttermost parts of the Earth? |
A41782 | Have Infants no benefit by the Covenant of Grace, unless their Parents believe? |
A41782 | He goes as high as the second Century, and takes an instance of sprinkling from the service of the Daemons( that is, Devil- Gods) but why so? |
A41782 | How can that Tongue be fit to bless God, to profess the Christian Religion, which is exercised in cursing, speaking evil, or wishing ill to any Man? |
A41782 | How have they lorded it over Kings and Kingdoms, over the Estates, Liberties and Lives of Christians? |
A41782 | How should we count them precious, if indeed God hated them from all Eternity? |
A41782 | I shall profess to be none of those that are concerned in the Question, Whether Infants have Faith? |
A41782 | If it be not his Will, wherefore is it done? |
A41782 | If so, what can you call it? |
A41782 | If you salute your Brethren only, what do you more than others? |
A41782 | Is it meet to say to a King, Thou art wicked? |
A41782 | Is it not commonly this, That the Hypocrites or Time- servers do fill that Church which has the Power of the Magistrate on her side? |
A41782 | Let us hear the Apostle Paul, he is plain; Do I now persuade Men, or God? |
A41782 | Nay, but with what Face or Conscience will he be able to forsake Popery, and not abjure his irregular Ordination? |
A41782 | Now who can think, that our Saviour should use an ambiguous Word, which is to guide us in matter of Fact? |
A41782 | Now who would think, that wise and good Men should thus grope at Noon- day? |
A41782 | Or can Christians no other way bring their Infants to Christ? |
A41782 | Or do no Infants belong to Christ, but those who are so brought? |
A41782 | Or does she not practise that in her Courts, which is too evidently destructive of it? |
A41782 | Or would you make our Saviour to say, He that baptizeth an Infant in my Name, receiveth me? |
A41782 | Secondly, But Sir, what need was there for one Man only to baptize the three thousand? |
A41782 | Shall not the Judg of all the Earth do Right? |
A41782 | Shall we speak one thing, and do another? |
A41782 | Shall we think then, that the Popish Orders are valid, in which there is not any preceding enquiry into manners? |
A41782 | Taylor tells us expresly, Whether Infants have Faith? |
A41782 | The Church of England blames the Papists for saying Marriage is a Sacrament; but shall we then make a Sacrament of a Ring? |
A41782 | The only question here to be resolved is, Whether this laying on of Hands was for Ordination? |
A41782 | Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy presence, when once thou art angry? |
A41782 | What Duty should not Infants be entitled to, as well as to Baptism? |
A41782 | What can be said more in this case? |
A41782 | What if the Powers command otherwise? |
A41782 | What need this trouble any Body? |
A41782 | What ordinary Vocation is that which you say the first Reformers had, excepting some few of them, is it not the Pall? |
A41782 | What shall I say to this? |
A41782 | What then is the result of Persecution for Religion? |
A41782 | What then must we do? |
A41782 | What then? |
A41782 | What, Sir, in their Infancy? |
A41782 | Whence is this to me, said Elizabeth, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? |
A41782 | Whether a succession of Ordination from Man to Man, down from some of the Apostles, be absolutely necessary to a due Call to the Ministry? |
A41782 | Whether all that are in the Covenant of Grace may be baptized? |
A41782 | Whether the same Means that is of Authority sufficient to make Men Christians, be not also sufficient to make Ministers? |
A41782 | Who can hate Man, whose Nature and Likeness he beholds in the Humanity of God? |
A41782 | Who has required it? |
A41782 | Who sees not that such a Principle is pregnant with Oppression? |
A41782 | Who sees not, that being thus set up, they are sometimes more set by, than sincere Faith, and an holy Life? |
A41782 | Whose Image and Superscription is this, says Christ? |
A41782 | Why are we forced not only to use it, but to use it in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy- Ghost? |
A41782 | Why then do they thus act? |
A41782 | Ye did run well, who did hinder you, that you should not obey the Truth? |
A41782 | and to Princes, Ye are ungodly? |
A41782 | do not these Men pray for their own Destruction? |
A41782 | must our Eye be Evil, because his is thus Bountiful? |
A41782 | or if he do abjure it, how can he by virtue thereof claim Authority to teach? |
A41782 | that even an Heathen, that is not baptized, may administer Baptism in case of Necessity? |
A41782 | what is this? |
A41782 | what then? |
A41782 | yea, very often by Men of the same Order, one towards another? |
A35520 | 10 And whether or no thou thinkest to come any nearer to Christs death, then taking Bread and Wine in Remembrance of him? |
A35520 | 12. the VVord was in their hearts and mouthes; and doth not David call him the Anointed? |
A35520 | 14 And when did the tongue of the Dumb sing? |
A35520 | 14, 15. and this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and levites from Jerusalem, and asked him, who art thou? |
A35520 | 15 And when was the tongue of the first birth silent? |
A35520 | 16 And when was thou come to thy wits end? |
A35520 | 17 And how hast thou watered thy Couch? |
A35520 | 18 And what is the tongue of the Learned? |
A35520 | 19 And what is the Gray Hairs? |
A35520 | 19. say, that he is the Alpha and Omega, and his Name is called the Word of God? |
A35520 | 2 Where be all the daubers? |
A35520 | 2. and is not the Anointed Christ? |
A35520 | 20 And what is it that Anti- Christ and the false Prophets ravened from, and where was it? |
A35520 | 21 And when did the Keepers of the House tremble, and the strong man bow himself? |
A35520 | 24 And whether or no thou hast seen it, or hear it, or heard the voice of God at any time, or seen his shape? |
A35520 | 3 Whether all the Ministers of Adam''s house in the fall, daubed not with untempered morter? |
A35520 | 4 Whether a man while he is upon the Earth, shall be made free from the body of Death and sin while he is on this side the Grave? |
A35520 | 9 And which is the nearest, to take a thing in Remembrance of his Death, or to come into his Death? |
A35520 | And dost thou say, The Law of God that he writes in the heart, and his spirit which he puts in the inward parts, is this a created light? |
A35520 | And hast thou the same power and spirit to baptize, and give Bread and Wine as the Apostles had, and hast thou heard the voice of Christ as they did? |
A35520 | And how long hast thou taken Bread and Wine in Remembrance of Christs Death till he come? |
A35520 | And how was he a Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World? |
A35520 | And shew me by plain Scripture where Christ calls taking of Bread and Wine an Ordinance? |
A35520 | And this Light thou calls( maliciously) Created and Natural; when didst thou ever hear any of us say, we worship a Light within us? |
A35520 | And thou that abhorrest Idols, dost thou commit Sacriledge? |
A35520 | And what Word was this they heard when the Holy Ghost fell on them, was it not the word the Apostle preached Christ? |
A35520 | And what dost thou talk of Grace, and denies his Light? |
A35520 | And what dost thou talk of the love which was in the Fathers bosome? |
A35520 | And what thinks thou by this, what is Anointed? |
A35520 | And what was that Image of God in which Adam was Created? |
A35520 | And where doth the Scripture speak of a Natural light, and a Created Light, from the word Creator, springing up with people in their Creation? |
A35520 | And whether Christ doth not enlighten every one that comes into the World with a saving Light? |
A35520 | And whether or no he doth not go in the high Priests rode, scorning the Apostles, as being Tradsmen& Fishermen,& unlearned? |
A35520 | Answer me plainly, didst thou ever hear Christs voice at any time, or hast thou seen his shape? |
A35520 | Art thou not here in these steps? |
A35520 | Art thou not in this a minister of darknesse, and an Idolater? |
A35520 | But in plain words, Did God create any light in the beginning but what he set in the Firmament of Heaven? |
A35520 | Dost thou think this will stand amongst wise men? |
A35520 | Doth Nature terrifie, and condemn Nature? |
A35520 | Here thou holds forth two Words, and was it not the word that became flesh? |
A35520 | How dare thou take upon thee to teach? |
A35520 | How should thou do other, being thou art an enemy both of Christ, and his Law, and his Light, and his Spirit? |
A35520 | I would not have thee to envy me so much, for the good I have to thee, for which of those things dost thou thus deal with me? |
A35520 | If the Scripture be thy rule for thy life and Conversation, then why dost not thou obey it? |
A35520 | If thou hast, set us out some of thy flock that they may be tryed? |
A35520 | Is an invisible light created, which sees God which is invisible? |
A35520 | Is it not because I have told thee the truth? |
A35520 | Is not God Light? |
A35520 | Is not the light which is in every man, the light of Christ that convinceth a man or woman of sin and evil? |
A35520 | Is the light that is in man a created light? |
A35520 | Poor conditioned man what wilt thou try with, with thy dim, dark, Natural created light? |
A35520 | Queries abroad, and thou thy self couldst not answer my Queries, nor Wood''s; is this the part of a man of Wisdom, or Reason? |
A35520 | Then what was that Light which let Nebuchadnezzar see the Stone cut out of the Mountain without hands; and let Job see his Redeemer? |
A35520 | Therefore if the Light in thee be Darkness, how great is that Darkness? |
A35520 | Therefore, I would know of thee whether this Grace be a Teacher, yea or nay? |
A35520 | They asked him, why baptizest thou then? |
A35520 | They were such as followed the way of Balaam, for the wages of unrighteousness, Art not thou one of these? |
A35520 | This is just the Jews, who said, He had a Devil: Might not Margaret Fell justly call thee a Blasphemer? |
A35520 | Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
A35520 | Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thy self? |
A35520 | Was it not a good deed, to tell thee thou was a Deceiver, knowirg thee to be so? |
A35520 | Was not this word Light in his heart, which is sown for the Righteous, and joy for the upright in heart? |
A35520 | Was there ever such confusion as this? |
A35520 | Was this, that would have led them into life, natural and created? |
A35520 | Was thou not made a Minister of men, neither by men, neither was thou taught by men, but only by the Revelation of Jesus Christ? |
A35520 | When and where was the Holy Ghost poured upon thee as it was upon the Apostles when they were met together, as also Peter bears witness? |
A35520 | Whether is Bread and Wine Christ the substance, yea, or nay? |
A35520 | Whether thy way never fell? |
A35520 | and canst thou lift such unholy hands and fists of wickednesse unto the Lord in prayer? |
A35520 | and doth not Stephen say that was Christ they thrust from them, and turned back again in their hearts into Egipt? |
A35520 | and he confessed and denied not, I am not the Christ, and they asked him, and said unto him, who art thou? |
A35520 | and is not Christ light, and his spirit light, and is not the Law light, and is not the Law spiritual? |
A35520 | and is not Christ the end of the Law for righteousnesse? |
A35520 | and is not this Law righteous, and spiritual, and just, and good? |
A35520 | and is that created and natural? |
A35520 | and is the Image of God in man a created light? |
A35520 | and is the law which is written in mans heart, and the spirit which is put in the inward parts, created? |
A35520 | and is there another Saviour besides Christ that takes away the sin of the world? |
A35520 | and is this the spirit of a natural man that knows not the things of God, that Christ is the end of? |
A35520 | and the 2, 3. v. and when thou hast read them, then tell me when the spirit of the Lord came on Balaam''s Horse? |
A35520 | and was that Image of God which was in Adam a created Image? |
A35520 | and what? |
A35520 | and will God accept thy sacrifice which is like Cains? |
A35520 | art thou not a minister of darknesse in all this? |
A35520 | before, Philip saith, Shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us, Iesus saith unto him, hast thou not known me Philip? |
A35520 | did it not make him confess he had sinned in betraying the Innocent blood? |
A35520 | did see& bore witness of? |
A35520 | did this which convinced Judas not reprove him of his unbelief? |
A35520 | for which of those good deeds dost thou rail of me so fast? |
A35520 | is Christ no where spoken of before he was imbodied in Flesh? |
A35520 | is a fit man to preach the Gospel of peace, that layes violent hands on people? |
A35520 | where Christ saith, if that light that be in you be darkness, how great is that darkness? |
A35520 | where will thou appear when the Righteousness of God is revealed in flames of fire upon the head of the wicked? |
A35520 | which is sufficient and justifies? |
A35520 | wilt thou not have Christ to be God? |
A35520 | — Did not I make one? |
A62861 | & c. But to whom is it apparent? |
A62861 | & c. teaching that infants of believers are ordinarily holy, and admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven, though dying unbaptized? |
A62861 | ( saith he) what ridiculous arguing is this? |
A62861 | 10. why tempt ye God to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our Fathers nor we were able to bear? |
A62861 | 15. that all Idolaters shall be without? |
A62861 | 16. the expression 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, For how knowest thou? |
A62861 | 19. they were to proceed according to the Commission about circumcising? |
A62861 | 2. propounded this as a Catechism question to certain Disciples at Ephesus, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? |
A62861 | 22, 23,& c. What is that which he saith appears? |
A62861 | 27. will ye be his disciples? |
A62861 | 35. were not the parents reputed in Gods account baptized because the children were against it? |
A62861 | 41.? |
A62861 | 74 asks who those be? |
A62861 | 76? |
A62861 | 8. good, after other arguments against non- residence? |
A62861 | All the creatures in the world may be Emblems of some good; and must they therefore permit the bringing of all to Christ? |
A62861 | And could they know of Christs private intents and designs? |
A62861 | And do you not see it fulfilled before your eys? |
A62861 | And have they onely a right to this relation? |
A62861 | And how could it be their fault to hinder people from bringing infants to Christ, if they might not know that they ought to be admitted? |
A62861 | And if all of them be abrogated, how can it be true that the law about circumcising Infants still binds? |
A62861 | And if you open this Gap, what a multitude of fopperies will rush in? |
A62861 | And is it not then to tautologize to say, when it pleased God, that I should preach the Son of God to others that I might preach the Gospel? |
A62861 | And is not here enough to satisfie us yet, that he doth not cast all infants in the world out of his visible Kingdom or Church? |
A62861 | And is not that to give them the relation it self? |
A62861 | And should it not be so in baptism also? |
A62861 | And that I meant other humble ones, and not these? |
A62861 | And that the method of preaching to us Gentiles must be fetch out of this place? |
A62861 | And to his question, Are infants the Kings Subjects or servants in a passive sense onely? |
A62861 | And to say that God commands Sacraments to seal the Covenant, what is this but to say that God commands himself? |
A62861 | And was it not them that he bid should be suffered to come( that is to be brought) and was it not them that he blessed? |
A62861 | And what a multitude of Ceremonies will this admit into the Church, to the burthening of mens consciences, and the polluting of Gods worship? |
A62861 | And what if they can not at first learn to know Christ? |
A62861 | And what was that yoke? |
A62861 | And when a man hired a Philosopher to teach him and all his children, were they not all then Disciples of that Philosopher? |
A62861 | And whom would they have perswaded thus to be circumcised? |
A62861 | And why doth not Mr. Sidenham take the whole nation into a Church, when the whole nation was taken in formerly in Abrahams posterity? |
A62861 | And why not by smiles, and kisses and whipping? |
A62861 | And why not then to servants, and wives, and friends? |
A62861 | And will he say that the Parents are onely passive servants? |
A62861 | And yet dare you boast so confidently of your prepared confutation? |
A62861 | Are Infants the Kings Subjects or Servants in a passive sense onely? |
A62861 | Are not they of the houshold? |
A62861 | Are the Heavens Gods servants, because he brought them out of Egypt, and separated them to himself as a peculiar People? |
A62861 | Are the Heavens onely passive servants of God? |
A62861 | As for Dr. Homes his question, Is any Anabaptist sure there were no infants in these families? |
A62861 | As for Mr. Ms. frivolous question, Were not the infants of the Jews devoted to God by Circumcision, though they could not actually devote themselves? |
A62861 | As for the question may they not be so called as destinated to his service for the future? |
A62861 | Besides this contingent event here was uncertain as appears v. 16. what knowest thou? |
A62861 | Besides, what sense is there in these words[ some of the nations of the heathen]? |
A62861 | But at what age they are to be admitted members? |
A62861 | But dare Mr. M. in good earnest say that John Baptist did admit persons to Baptism that were not in a state of repentance? |
A62861 | But he adds, And doth not this plainly tell us, that the parents faith is the condition? |
A62861 | But is this an express prohibition of it? |
A62861 | But saith he, How have the believing Jews lost this privilege or Proselytes of the Gentiles? |
A62861 | But saith he, or is it not evidently reducible to one of the former? |
A62861 | But was Mr. T. of this minde when he wrote these words? |
A62861 | But what kindness had this been to a little childe in age as an infant, that travayls not? |
A62861 | But what saith Mr. T. against this? |
A62861 | But what then? |
A62861 | But where doth Mr. B. find this admission so fully determined in the old Testament? |
A62861 | Can preaching the Gospel be fitly sayd to be the end or consequent of preaching the Son of God which is all one with preaching the Gospel? |
A62861 | Did Mr. Blake? |
A62861 | Did ever any wise man command to men that man should be a reasonable living body, or whitenesse a visible quality, or fatherhood a relation? |
A62861 | Did he take any but infants into his arms? |
A62861 | Did you over hear me talk of such a thing? |
A62861 | Do not you care to smite through Christianity, so you may bring down infant- baptism? |
A62861 | Doth he think they that deny infants to be Disciples allow brutes to be Disciples? |
A62861 | Doth it follow that they are servants in the same sense, when the action is so unlike? |
A62861 | Doth not Christ say, The Angel of the Church of Pergamus dwelt where Satans throne was? |
A62861 | Doth not God bid his Apostles baptize those that were Disciples without distinguishing? |
A62861 | Doth not God call them his servants himself? |
A62861 | Esau was the childe of Isaac a believer, Ishmael of Abraham, yet neither entered into the Covenant of grace, neither justified by the parents faith? |
A62861 | For how can that make a binding rule to us about another meer positive Rite without any other Institution, which it self is abrogated? |
A62861 | For what do Papists persecute us for else, but because we reject their justification by works? |
A62861 | For what is it to put Doctrine on any but to Teach him? |
A62861 | For what is it to reveal his Son by him or through him to others, but to preach the Gospel to them? |
A62861 | For what is the receiving? |
A62861 | For what knowest thou O Wife whether thou shalt save thy Husband? |
A62861 | For would Christ have blessed so a Sheep or Dove? |
A62861 | Hath he a good wit now or a bad minde, that can raise a dust for the darkning of so express and plain a Text? |
A62861 | How did the Disciples hinder Christs design? |
A62861 | How doth Mr. Blake prove that it was called The Land of Immanuel, because the whole of the nation was in Covenant? |
A62861 | How i ● one made a disciple, but by conversion? |
A62861 | How silent is the N. T. concerning Christian magistracy? |
A62861 | How silent is the New Testament concerning a Christian Magistracy? |
A62861 | I demand of Mr. T. whether the Apostle speaks in the person of Christians or in the person of women? |
A62861 | I might easily do) that the Heavens are Gods servants actively, and Christ also is called his servant actively? |
A62861 | If Mr. B. should prove in like manner infants to be believers, what need the respondent shew any other cause than this, that they have not faith? |
A62861 | If any ask whether a national covenant or a covenant of parents for children be now allowable? |
A62861 | If it was to be so at first gathering of churches, why did not those in New England observe it then when they first gathered their churches? |
A62861 | If par ratio will not serve turn to prove an ordinance of Christ, or at least to warrant a practice, how will our brethren prove baptizing of infants? |
A62861 | If the parent be not a believer, the childe is left out: And what other condition can be imagined? |
A62861 | If this were no fault in them, why should Christ be displeased, and much displeased at it? |
A62861 | Is it not God that giveth them right to this relation? |
A62861 | Is it not common to call the whole nation of the Turks both old and young by the name of Mahometans, or Disciples of Mahomet? |
A62861 | Is it not enough that it was expresly decreed against, v. 24.? |
A62861 | Is it the Commission of circumcising Gen. 17? |
A62861 | Is it the same use that God maketh of both? |
A62861 | Is it therefore in the same sense? |
A62861 | Is not this the door that the body of Popish trash came in at? |
A62861 | Is not this to make the same act and the same persons not the same, which is a contradiction? |
A62861 | Is that good Philosophy? |
A62861 | It is somewhat indeed that they can learn to kiss the mother, stroke her breasts,& c. but what''s this to make them Disciples of Christ? |
A62861 | May I not make this a third Argument of it self? |
A62861 | May I not take up the Poets words, Tantaene animis coelestibus irae? |
A62861 | Mr. B. goeth on thus, So that if you ask me, whether it be certain or onely probable, that infants are members of the visible Church? |
A62861 | Mr. B. himself, when in the next words[ And whom would they perswade to be circumcised?] |
A62861 | Mr. M. himself paraphaseth thus, will ye be his disciples, will ye profess him? |
A62861 | Must these usages of theirs be a patern to Christians? |
A62861 | Must you not be compelled to go by a consequence to bring it in, which is ab I contend for? |
A62861 | Now I demand of this pretended interpretation, whether it be possible Saint Pauls argument should conclude in this sense? |
A62861 | Now is any man so sensless as to think they did these things to infants? |
A62861 | Or how knowest thou O Husband whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A62861 | Or how knowest thou O man whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A62861 | Philip resolved the Eunuch demanding, What hindereth me to be baptised? |
A62861 | Quis enim credat? |
A62861 | Sacramentum institui et Ceremoniam non determinari? |
A62861 | Saith Mr. B. Doth Christ say, To such as them in this or that respect onely, and not to them,( or saith he) not in general, To such? |
A62861 | Saith Mr. B. Hath not God prevented all these Cavils by joyning Parents and Children together in the same title? |
A62861 | Saith he, And where Mr. T. saith, It was not from any knowledg they had of their present visible title; I answer, Who said it was? |
A62861 | Saith he, What if the Earth and Infants were both called Gods Servants onely in a passive sense, because God maketh use of them? |
A62861 | Shall we say it were in no other sense than the Earth is so called? |
A62861 | T is true, the main question is, whether infants are to be baptized? |
A62861 | The main question is not, by what sign members are to be admitted into the Church? |
A62861 | The second rule( he saies) overthrows all, for if we may not rest solely on the analogy, why at all? |
A62861 | The third likewise saith he, is uncertain and vain; For how shall we know when the analogy holds full proportion? |
A62861 | The unbelieving Husband hath been sanctified in the Wife, thus, For what knowest thou O Wife whether thou shalt save thy Husband? |
A62861 | They are thy Servants; Are they therefore Disciples? |
A62861 | To w th he replies in his Praefestinantis morator, What not yet? |
A62861 | To what he saith, Will you allow of such an argument for infant- baptism as Christ brings for the Resurrection? |
A62861 | To which I answer no, but what then? |
A62861 | To which I replied, As if Gods dictum were not factum: if they were not cast out, why doth the Apostle allege that Text? |
A62861 | Was it any other than the discovery of his mercy to the species of infants, and to those among others? |
A62861 | Was it not plainly them that he did bid them receive( in the former Chapter) and was it not them that he would not have to be kept from him? |
A62861 | Were ye baptized into the name of Paul? |
A62861 | What Design was it that Christ had in hand? |
A62861 | What are the heathen but the nations? |
A62861 | What doth Mr. B. mean by this? |
A62861 | What if Christ were called Gods servant for his suffering? |
A62861 | What need any man assigne any cause at all why infants are not Disciples, but because the term[ Disciple] agrees not to them? |
A62861 | What reason can he give why they may not be called Disciples in a passive sense as well as servants? |
A62861 | Where find you a Christian in the New Testament that exercised the place of a king, a Parliament man, or Justice of Peace, or the like? |
A62861 | Where is that distinction in the command? |
A62861 | Whereto I reply, he may as well deny the Snow to be white, as deny it: Can any put Doctrine but on Persons that can be taught? |
A62861 | Who dare say that this Synod did not decree against Circumcision and keeping the Law? |
A62861 | Who dare say that this Synod did not decree against the command, doctrine, obligation, necessity, opinion of Circumcision, and and keeping the Law? |
A62861 | Who dare think that the word[ to such] is not rather inclusive as to them than exclusive? |
A62861 | Who denies it? |
A62861 | Why doth he gather his Church with such choice distinguishing some from others? |
A62861 | Why may they not be called Servants from the meer interest of Dominion that God hath to them? |
A62861 | Will Mr. B. charge the Spirit of God with needless committing so many histories, sayings of Christ& c. to writing, because they were written before? |
A62861 | Will any say that it was not infants in the former Text and this that Christ speaks of? |
A62861 | Would Iohn admit manifest impenitents? |
A62861 | Yea from manna and the rock to the Lords Table? |
A62861 | Yea, if the analogy direct in the nature, use and extent of an instituted worship, what doth it else but make a new worship? |
A62861 | and authority over them? |
A62861 | and that they were not reputed of God to be baptized, because there is no mention of their childrens baptism? |
A62861 | and the Argument that hardneth them in it, and hindereth their reformation to this day? |
A62861 | and when is a man converted, but when he is brought to believe? |
A62861 | and when, either sleeping or waking? |
A62861 | and why? |
A62861 | and why? |
A62861 | and yet still call for Scripture proof? |
A62861 | but because there was enough said of them in the old? |
A62861 | but that it is his will they should be admitted? |
A62861 | by calling on the name of the Lord, which is a work of their own: Do they therein turn the name of the glorious God into a Creature? |
A62861 | even to such as he took in his arms and blessed? |
A62861 | implies, thou canst not tell whether thou shalt save thy husband? |
A62861 | nor the uncircumcised males in the wilderness? |
A62861 | now this is as fully determined in the old Testament, as most things in the Bible, and therefore what need any more? |
A62861 | now who were these disciples? |
A62861 | or are they blessed of Christ, and yet not so much as visible members of his Church? |
A62861 | or by what Emblem he would teach them? |
A62861 | or doth he bid them baptize active Disciples, but not passive ones? |
A62861 | or else how could it be a reason for releasing them in the year of Jubilee any more than for releasing any other? |
A62861 | or if there must be more: may they not be called so, as being destinated to his service for the future? |
A62861 | or others shewing; I asked once a Preacher at Bewdley where it was? |
A62861 | or upon what terms he dealeth with them for life or death? |
A62861 | or when he would do it? |
A62861 | or whether by a sign or without? |
A62861 | so of an oath before a Magistrate, of war, of the Sabbath,& c. how sparing is the new Testament? |
A62861 | so of an oath before a Magistrate, of war, of the Sabbath,& c. how sparing is the new Testament? |
A62861 | the Doctrine of Church- discipline, Church- officers, Church- goverment,& c. what shall we call o ● count strong meat? |
A62861 | the same thing to be done twice, except men had questioned the authority of the old? |
A62861 | the whole Scripture is the perfect word and law of God;& if he should reveal all his mind in one part, what use should we make of the other? |
A62861 | what more should a man expect to warrant him to do so? |
A62861 | when is the proportion full? |
A62861 | when nothing can be fairly brought against the one, but may be also concluded on the other? |
A62861 | when the use and sufferings are so unlike? |
A62861 | where is the old Commission that we must understand this by, so as to proceed the way to the Gentiles that was taken among the Jewes? |
A62861 | who then or what hindreth them from possessing the relation which they have right to? |
A62861 | yet can you find no law that made women Church- members? |
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? |

A41786 | Whether was those that cried, His blood be upon us and our Children, thereby rejecting the great Mess ● nger of the Covenant, ● ustly broken off? |
A41786 | Whether we do not as much to our Infants( in our capacity) as Christ did to the Infants which were brought to him? |
A41786 | Whether you ought not to distinguish in this great Promise, the things which are eternal from the things that were but for a time? |
A41786 | Whoever doubted but that Infants are advantaged many ways, in the blessings which God bestows on them that fear him? |
A41786 | Will any say, that neither they nor their Parents were obliged to thankfulness upon this account? |
A41786 | Will not the second Adams obedience salve the first Adams disobedience? |
A41786 | Would any Kingdom be more excell ● nt, if all Infants were disfranchised? |
A41786 | Would it not be to confound the Decree of God with his Covenant? |
A41786 | and are not Infants God''s own due? |
A41786 | and how can Infants be said to be in the Church, as Abraham then was, seeing they have no faith as he had? |
A41786 | and if not, how shall they be saved, seeing Christ is only the Saviour of his body finally? |
A41786 | and if not, how should their consenting to grace be the Childs consent? |
A41786 | and if not, then you either deny us to be of the universal Church, or else you have not the Exposition of the Church universal? |
A41786 | and if not, why do you make them the Seed of the Serpent, and Fighters against the Kingdom of Christ? |
A41786 | and if there be other Qualifications necessary, whether to be taught be not one of the chief of them? |
A41786 | and not only so, but so as to be accepted of God, as far( at least) as the Righteousness of the Law would avail the Jew? |
A41786 | and therefore whether the wonder which he makes about the Jews Infants which believed, be not groundless? |
A41786 | and whethen you do not now grant in effect there is no such written Law? |
A41786 | and whether both ought not to be amend ● d? |
A41786 | and whether there be any Parity between the Infants you speak of and Christ, seeing he was able even then to vanqu ● sh the greatest Adversary? |
A41786 | and whether this be not a meer noise of words, as if all that do not as you do, do lay a side their care and duties towards Infants? |
A41786 | and whether what is said to it, may not also suffiee to this? |
A41786 | and why do you say we take Infants away from Christs Church, because we baptize them not; are they in it before baptized? |
A41786 | and will not that sati ● fie, unless we go from him to follow you? |
A41786 | and yet whether the separation from many Pedobaptists will not justifie our separation from you more clearly? |
A41786 | are you sure they are not within the verge of Christs Redemption? |
A41786 | as to the age of the Subjects? |
A41786 | certainly, if Gods Word assign any Ordinances in lieu of the former, the place where''t is written would have b ● en known to this day? |
A41786 | commanded his Ministers, as much as in them lieth, to disciple all Nations baptizing them,& c? |
A41786 | do we not grant that it extends to Infants, yea, we say with Mr. Baxter, it was never abrogated? |
A41786 | how then were all the Infants saved which were born to the Israelites for fourty years together, such of them, I mean, as died during that time? |
A41786 | if so, how do we take them away? |
A41786 | or be pleased to come and make my Infants disciples if you can, and I promise you I will assist you what I can in the baptizing them? |
A41786 | or how come they to be concern''d so much in that one duty of Baptism, and no other whatsoever? |
A41786 | or is there any other way to be graffed in to the Church of Christ, but by faith? |
A41786 | or prove if you can, that you your selves do consent to the Covenant of Grace for your Infants, more then we whom you call Anabaptists? |
A41786 | or to conclude ours only are in the state of salvation? |
A41786 | or where did Infants ever fight for, or against the Serpent? |
A41786 | or where did she ever decree, that those who would not submit to her new frame should be put to death? |
A41786 | or whether it be any loss to them till God requires it? |
A41786 | or whether was the Infants of the Jews exposed to damnation by their Parents unbelief? |
A41786 | or whether you think the blessing of Abraham is confined to Ceremonies in respect of Infants, if so, shew us what Ceremonies these are? |
A41786 | or who goes about to justifie the World, if they do not as the Law of God and Nature wills them to do for their Infants? |
A41786 | or will you say Infants can not partake with their Parents of salvation without Baptism? |
A41786 | seeing then all Infants( for ought you know) have the same right, which yet you d ● ny; but why so? |
A41786 | to be brought to partake of Ordinances Practical in the Church, save only from Abraham to the end of the Law? |
A41786 | whether was Saul broken off when he persecuted the Church causing many to blaspheme? |
A41786 | who doubts but that as many others as became Jews by being Proselited to the Law, were Circumcised according to the Law? |
A41786 | why do you take up the Papists weapons? |
A41786 | why then who is not a fit subject, seeing all Infants ● nd men too are of one Nation or another? |
A41786 | yet what makes this for any actual Participation of Ordinances in the Church, and what one Ordinance did the Infants of these Sons of God partake of? |
A41786 | you deny them the one, why may not we as well deny the other? |
A62864 | & the Apostles constantly practised? |
A62864 | ( For what is the externall administration of the covenant of grace; but the seals, as they call them, and the rest of the service of the Sanctuary?) |
A62864 | ( not 7. as it is printed) If some believed not, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
A62864 | 1 saith he, How Bain and Ame ● come to the name of Remonstrants? |
A62864 | 1. it seems he will not see i ●, and then wee may apply to him the Proverb, Who so blinde as hee that will not see? |
A62864 | 1. to Harding, saying, Were the hundred thousand Bores of Germany consumed by the sword of the Nobility there for their obecience? |
A62864 | 10. answers; nor doth Mr. M. or Dr. Homes deny it, but Mr. M. asks What is your argument hence? |
A62864 | 10.1, 2, 3, 4. compared with chap 11 3, 14, 15, 18. yea but if the command bound them, why were they circumcised? |
A62864 | 10.16, 17. to have a meer visible Churchstate? |
A62864 | 122. tell us, that Moses did cause them oft to enter and renew the Covenant? |
A62864 | 2 To his second question, Are the naturall seed of Abraham and legall justiciaries one and the same? |
A62864 | 2. l. 1 c. 42. saith, qu dam nullo judicio videntur con cripta quae se satis produn? |
A62864 | 2. saith M. Drew, Are not Gentiles the seed of Abraham? |
A62864 | 31.36, 37. which seemed to promise they should be his people to be justified and saved by Christ? |
A62864 | 38. of the gift of the holy Ghost, some of other promises? |
A62864 | 7.22? |
A62864 | 78. we read of some that have been sanctified from the womb, were they visible Churchmembers in the womb? |
A62864 | 8. but is not all that included in this, I will be your God? |
A62864 | 84? |
A62864 | 85. enquires, What is the formal reason and ground that any hath right to Baptism? |
A62864 | Alas Sir, why do you run into this needless and erroneous digression? |
A62864 | And 1. what means Mr. T. to talk of mercy to others, when our question is, Whether it be a mercy to themselves to be unchurched? |
A62864 | And 6. whether he mean that call by which particularly they were at first made a Church? |
A62864 | And I demand further, when we are graffed in and so naturalized with them, do we not partake of all the fatness or priviledges of the Olive with them? |
A62864 | And Noah pray, that God would perswade Japhet to dwell in the tents of Sem? |
A62864 | And are not the Sacraments Signa conditionalia, conditionall signes and Seals? |
A62864 | And by way of retortion, I do s ● riously ask Mr. B. how he will expound the word all nations? |
A62864 | And can any man of common sence and conscience expound this of his casting all their infants out of his family? |
A62864 | And did former Laws oblige to Circumcision till Christ? |
A62864 | And do you think this the common sense of the word? |
A62864 | And does not this vail so far blind their eyes that they see not so much as with faith historical? |
A62864 | And doth Mr. T. thinke that no wicked men perish as Covenant- breake ● s with Christ? |
A62864 | And doth not he that saith there is no law, say there is no transgression? |
A62864 | And how else then should the nature and use of it be held out? |
A62864 | And how is this proved? |
A62864 | And if he did not, why doth he talk of proving it here where he disputes against me? |
A62864 | And if it neither determine the person, nor give 〈 ◊ 〉 ground to determine, how then doth it become probable to that person? |
A62864 | And if so, whether of Abraham onely? |
A62864 | And if so, whether that which was proper to the Jews posterity? |
A62864 | And if the Covenant of grace be a birth- priviledge, how are they children of wrath by nature? |
A62864 | And is it not also of the promise foregoing? |
A62864 | And is not this from as great a mistake as the other, to think that Gods command is no part of his Covenant? |
A62864 | And is there no intimation in this that Seth was an infant member of the visible Church? |
A62864 | And it being with their consent that the nation were church members, may not the like be done now? |
A62864 | And now must I be fain to shew, that churchmembership is neither sucking the brest of a godly woman, nor being brought in the family? |
A62864 | And shall we think the Apostle so foolish as to be thus troubled for such a loss? |
A62864 | And should not every King and Magistrate do the like? |
A62864 | And so should every repenting believing Jews infants be Churchmembers? |
A62864 | And the whole speech considered, the words import no more then this, can I bring him back again to life? |
A62864 | And then for Moses what more did he? |
A62864 | And then what was the physical act which is called Gods taking? |
A62864 | And then why should we doubt but the Apostles mission extended to them also? |
A62864 | And were they all elected and partakers of saving graces, or outward priviledges onely? |
A62864 | And were we not once all infants? |
A62864 | And what a lamentable confusion are we now brought into by these? |
A62864 | And what call had these infants that can not understand a call? |
A62864 | And what he means by a Church call to infants that can not understand, I know not; except by a call he meaneth circumcising them? |
A62864 | And what hope is it? |
A62864 | And what is it? |
A62864 | And what is to be expected from children of that age? |
A62864 | And what means Mr. T. to talk of here one and there one? |
A62864 | And what of it had been true if the whole Kingdome? |
A62864 | And whence hath Master Cobbet warrant to say that the promise belongs one way to the Jewes, and another way to the Gentiles? |
A62864 | And where did Mr. T. learn in Scripture to call the Jews churchstate carnal? |
A62864 | And whether I may not as groundedly make a fact sufficient for this purpose of the acts of an hundred or two hundred years onely? |
A62864 | And who shall descend into the deep] that is to bring Christ again from the dead? |
A62864 | And will not parents mourn for their children? |
A62864 | And would not Mr. T. now have a whole family made a Church in a day? |
A62864 | And yet of all such who will say, they were all in a saving estate? |
A62864 | And yet( would any man think it?) |
A62864 | Are all those glorious things spoken of the City of God, and is it now better to be out of any Church then in it? |
A62864 | Are not the aged worse then they? |
A62864 | Are not the infants of Adam deprived of life in justice to their hurt, without their breaking Covenant with God, or their personal desert? |
A62864 | Are not these Kingdomes added to the Church as well as Israel? |
A62864 | Are not these cross caper ●? |
A62864 | Are the head and members at such odds, that one must give place, and be gone when the other comes? |
A62864 | Are the n ● ● urall seed of Abraham and legall justiciaries one and the same? |
A62864 | Are they children to whom the adoption pertains, and yet no children? |
A62864 | Are you sure that which Abraham did in it was as a Magistrate? |
A62864 | Art thou called being a servant? |
A62864 | As the Sichemites must do, so other nations must do: For what priviledge had the children of the Sichemites above the rest of the world? |
A62864 | As we know not what he means by[ constitution] as is said before; so who knows what he meaneth by[ their Church call?] |
A62864 | Be wiser then our Fathers? |
A62864 | Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the the sacrifices partakers of the altar? |
A62864 | Besides what ground hath Mr. G. to call this promise the Gospel- covenant? |
A62864 | Besides what interfering is there in Paedobaptists? |
A62864 | But are the promises to all professors because they are conditionally proposed to them? |
A62864 | But did God promise spiritual grace to the Jews after the captivity and not before? |
A62864 | But do I call any where the Gospel mixt? |
A62864 | But doth Nazianzen give us there any Scripture for this differing? |
A62864 | But doth he say this of the Israelites then living whose case he bewailed? |
A62864 | But he further demands, Or what doth he mean by churchstate? |
A62864 | But if it be not a distinction of a genus into its species, what distinction is it? |
A62864 | But let us consider a little what is the Church? |
A62864 | But may I not require Mr. B. to shew me by what actions I have done any of these things? |
A62864 | But shall we make no difference between the children of believers and unbelievers? |
A62864 | But was not it true also of the Ierusalem that was when Christ was? |
A62864 | But waving this, is the fault mended in his Defence? |
A62864 | But what a dotage is this? |
A62864 | But what if all this were true? |
A62864 | But what is it then? |
A62864 | But what is this to those who do not deny Christ, and therefore are both Children of the flesh, and of the- promise? |
A62864 | But what non- sense scribling is this, to term preaching or hearing covenanting? |
A62864 | But what saith M. C. to the instance of the males of 7. days only to infringe his rule? |
A62864 | But what saith it? |
A62864 | But what text do you think he brought? |
A62864 | But what text do you think he brought? |
A62864 | But what then? |
A62864 | But whence doth he gather that Circumcision of right ended, when Baptism began to be an initial Sacrament? |
A62864 | But who so bold as blinde bayard? |
A62864 | But whose Logick rule is that he mentions? |
A62864 | But will you yeeld that they are so much as seeming probable members of the invisible Church? |
A62864 | But, What may I do to escape the wrath due to me? |
A62864 | But, saith he, doth not this contradict what went before? |
A62864 | By asking Mr. T. whether he be ready to pay th ● t reverence to the authority of the Fathers, as to bee concluded by their affirmations? |
A62864 | By demand; Is there any such decree as to cast out of the Church invisible? |
A62864 | By w ● at law becomes he a lawful proxy? |
A62864 | By what means is it visible or discernable that a believers infant is fetcht out of Satans visible kingdome and 〈 ◊ 〉 an unbelievers? |
A62864 | By what rule those who are acknowledged visible Church- members in infancy c ● n be denied the Lords Supper? |
A62864 | Can Mr. B. say they are not among his party? |
A62864 | Can any man think that this was any part of the ● ondage? |
A62864 | Can he prove that their churchmembership was a type of Christ, that must cease when he was come? |
A62864 | Can he say this of the Jewish Church, and their call? |
A62864 | Can you bring us proof of any one infant of true Church- members, that was not rightfully a Churchmember himself from the creation till Christs dayes? |
A62864 | Can you imagine what shift is left against this plain truth? |
A62864 | Christ wonders at Nicodemus, that he understood it not: Art thou a ruler in Israel and knowest not these things? |
A62864 | Christs Church is his family; and doth the Heir use to be freed by being cast out of the family? |
A62864 | Concerning Athanas ● us he speaks thus, What say you to that passage in Athanasius? |
A62864 | Credis? |
A62864 | D ● th he perswade them? |
A62864 | Dare any say of no unbelievers infants is Christs Kingdome? |
A62864 | Dare you maintain that all the world is sinlesse in this respect? |
A62864 | Did I ever grant that the Jewish baptism of any infants is to be our pattern, or was Christs pattern? |
A62864 | Did I ever say there is less hope of their salvation, then fear of their damnation? |
A62864 | Did circumcision seal no other promise but that? |
A62864 | Did none but Abraham give an example unto others of believing? |
A62864 | Did the adding of these Laws and ceremonies take down any former part of the Church? |
A62864 | Did the bringing out of Aegypt concur to make Moses a Churchmember when he was in the basket on the waters? |
A62864 | Did the faith of God take effect in that which was never promised? |
A62864 | Did they begin to be a Church in the Wilderness? |
A62864 | Do not Tertullian, Cyprian,& c. argue from Circumcision unto Baptism 〈 ◊ 〉 we now do, and others of them from Covenant holiness? |
A62864 | Do not these things happen to the most godly Saints? |
A62864 | Do they know what[ a trans ● unt fact is, that without law or Covenant makes Churchmembers?] |
A62864 | Do yo ● understand what it is to be a member of a City, or of a family? |
A62864 | Do you understand what is totum aggregatum& pars totius? |
A62864 | Doest thou renounce? |
A62864 | Doth Christ cast any out of the Church, onely that he may succeed them? |
A62864 | Doth God say, that the seed of the righteous are not blessed till they come to age? |
A62864 | Doth Mr. B. interpret this of infants? |
A62864 | Doth he circumcise them? |
A62864 | Doth he command them to obey the commands of God? |
A62864 | Doth he give any reason? |
A62864 | Doth it follow, that because I assigne Ev ● ngelical benefits to Abrahams spiritua ● seed, I deny any of his natural seed to be his spiritual? |
A62864 | Doth not Mr. B. acknowledge, that Abrahams Circumcision did seal the righteousness of saith which he had being yet uncircumcised? |
A62864 | Doth not Mr. T. confess that the Jews infants were in Covenant? |
A62864 | Doth not Scripture term the Jewish Church or people, the Circumcision, because those that were in that Church, if male, were circumcised? |
A62864 | Doth not the promise give them an established right in this blessing? |
A62864 | Doth not the seal belong to the thing sealed? |
A62864 | Doth not thus plainly assert that the Jews then were righly judged by Peter to be in the promise, and their right thereby to batism? |
A62864 | Doth the covenant appertain to them, and they stiled the children of the covenant, and yet are they out of covenant? |
A62864 | Doth the word[ taking] signifie a meer physical taking or fact; or a moral; such as among men we call, a civil action? |
A62864 | Doth visible Churchmember praedicari de pluribus specie differentibus in quid? |
A62864 | Else is not this as great a mercy to the poor off cast Jews? |
A62864 | Else why do Ministers exhort men to joyn with some particular Church, and to submit to their Pastors? |
A62864 | Ergo, Now what doth Mr. C. answer? |
A62864 | Far would any that knowes the meaning of words, take this for a right paraphrase? |
A62864 | First hee says, if by standard bee meant Baptism, who makes a Thesis of his Hypothesis? |
A62864 | First, whether the first verse of this second chapter be meant onely of invisible members? |
A62864 | For Adam and Eve were eyed, saith Mr C. as a seminall visible Church? |
A62864 | For I would know what the faith of God was whether it were the Covenant of saving grace, or the outward Covenant? |
A62864 | For examining of which I set down something about priviledges, which Mr. M. grants, and saith, what''s all this to the purpose? |
A62864 | For how doth it administer it but as a means of applying it? |
A62864 | For is the one to be defined by the other? |
A62864 | For the Apostle extendeth redemption here to those that were under the Law; and who knoweth not that infants were under the Law? |
A62864 | For the minor was,[ that here is no greater mercy given to infants in stead of Churchmembership:] Doth not Mr. T. acknowledge this? |
A62864 | For were not the Jews infan ● s by their visible Churchmembership bound to be circumcised, and to keep Moses Law? |
A62864 | For what are those outward priviledges in respect of which they are the same but outward administrations? |
A62864 | For what consequence? |
A62864 | For what else can be the reason of those terms[ at least as well] which are not like the expressions of a man that is well resolved what to hold? |
A62864 | For what fruit or accompt can else be given of all Christs preaching and pains bestowed in that city? |
A62864 | For what is a Covenanter but one that makes a promise? |
A62864 | For what is addition to a company but a joyning or bringing one more to them then was before? |
A62864 | For what is covenant- interest, but interest in the covenant, and covenant- right, but right from the covenant? |
A62864 | For what is it to seal and not to confer grace, but onely to assure? |
A62864 | For where is this distinction of yours found or founded in the word of God? |
A62864 | For who knows not that Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, with million ● more are dead, and are now no members in any visible Church? |
A62864 | For, 1. how were the promises made indefinitely, and yet to all the Israelites? |
A62864 | From Cyrus, Arta ● ● rxes, Darius, Ab ● su ● rus? |
A62864 | Go disciple all nations,& c. Is not this brave proving the repeal before mentioned? |
A62864 | God saith you stand all here,& c. to enter into the Covenant, and oath,& c. And you say, it can not be all, whom shall we believe God or you? |
A62864 | Hath he not a good wit, that can prove that Christ hath repealed his merciful gift, because he hath redeemed us from under our bondage and tutorage? |
A62864 | Hath the mercfull God revealed no ordinary help for them? |
A62864 | Have not I also granted this thing, and that upon the same reasons? |
A62864 | Have you well considered of the fruit of your way ● apparent in England and Ireland at this day? |
A62864 | He addeth the very exposition to every sentence:[ who shall ascend into heaven] that is, saith he, to bring Christ down from above? |
A62864 | He adds, Besides is there not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 mystery in the original? |
A62864 | He adds, If he be not, why doth he mention this as usefull in this matter? |
A62864 | He adds, May not I boldly say, that once the infants of all covenanters had this priviledge? |
A62864 | He circumcised them when God had commanded; And was circumcising the call? |
A62864 | He goes on, And what is this Syntax that is so clear? |
A62864 | He ● aith, If he be wonder why the uniform consent of them that infants are to be baptized should not prevail with him? |
A62864 | Here then the Question between us is not, Whether the natural issue of Abraham by Isaac and Jacob were taken into Covenant? |
A62864 | His house are we; wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if yee will hear his voyce,& c. So as if the question bee what voice? |
A62864 | How are ye? |
A62864 | How came there to be so strict a conjunction between Priesthood, Temple, Sanhedrim,& c. as that the Church must needs fall when they fall? |
A62864 | How came there to be so strict a conjunction between the Church and their membership, as that the Church must needs fall when they fall? |
A62864 | How can Christ bid them, Go and disciple all Nations, if infants and so all the Nation are utterly uncapable of being disciples? |
A62864 | How comes any man ● o bee a childs proxy, who doth not make hi ● so? |
A62864 | How could you allege Dr. Field without considering how you wrong''d your self? |
A62864 | How doth it appear that what the Jews did we may do? |
A62864 | How is it proved that any are visible members of the Christian Church, but by profession of faith? |
A62864 | How is the word vindicated from all necessity that it should be confined to grown men? |
A62864 | How little know they the difference between Christ and Moses, that think they might then be churchmembers and not now? |
A62864 | How oft would I have g ● thered? |
A62864 | How prove you that it was a blemish to the old frame, that infants were members? |
A62864 | How then is it true which here he saith they ceased to have a visible right to the promise till they raigned repentance? |
A62864 | How they can make good the regularity of Church- consti ● ution, and the ordination of Elders, who have no other baptism but that in infancy? |
A62864 | How understand you Pauls discourse about the members and body? |
A62864 | How unequal would the distribution ● e of this verse, not suitable to the lawes of expression among rational men? |
A62864 | I answer, saith he, fully: If this be the question, what is the condition on which God in Scripture bestoweth this infant holiness? |
A62864 | I had thought they had been on the party that are called Contra- remonstrants? |
A62864 | I say, do they know this? |
A62864 | I suppose we are agreed what a Church visible is? |
A62864 | I ● it not a mercy to be freed from it? |
A62864 | If I did not, why doth hee suggest as if in this conclusion hee asserted more then I do? |
A62864 | If a wicked man ea ● his meat without seeking a blessing on it, or giving thanks, will any one say that he hath not a lawfull use of the creature? |
A62864 | If by writing is not the act transeunt? |
A62864 | If he and Mr. Rogers can so easily say and unsay, who can give credit to men that can thus blow hot and cold wi ● h the same breath? |
A62864 | If he mean it of that species or sort of Ministerial call, then what sort is that? |
A62864 | If i ● be( saith he) no carnal Churchstate to have infants in heaven, why is it a carnal Churchstate which containeth infants in it on earth? |
A62864 | If it be asked what is an invisible Churchmember, will any that is in his wits say hee is a visible Churchmember? |
A62864 | If it be by voice is not that transient? |
A62864 | If it be this same, then how comes a meer transeunt fact to work effectually so many hundred years after it is past? |
A62864 | If it determine not the kind of good formally nor virtually, nor contain it generically; then how doth it make it probable? |
A62864 | If it intend more then this, then it is not verified or fulfilled in this much; if it intend no more, then how doth it make their salvation probable? |
A62864 | If it were only the outward, how did it take saving effect in the elect? |
A62864 | If only of Jews, how must the Gentiles be saved? |
A62864 | If plain Scripture will not satisfie these men, why then do they call for Scripture? |
A62864 | If the Jews Church constitution before Moses time was such as took in infants, why not after Moses time? |
A62864 | If the adding of all these ceremonies did not make a new Church, or overthrow the old, why should the taking of them away overthrow it? |
A62864 | If the special priviledge to the children doth suppose the parents call, why not also the childrens call? |
A62864 | If the succession be broken off upon the Jews unbelief, why not upon the unbelief of each ancestor? |
A62864 | If there were, is there no other promise to be ratified by such a Seal but that? |
A62864 | If therefore God have made general promises as to age and person, who is he that dare limit it, without just proof that indeed God hath limited it? |
A62864 | If they of N. E. do fold them up in the Church, why do they keep them from Church- communion till they bee made members by Church- covenant? |
A62864 | If this doctrine be true, why may we not expect to be taught, that infants must also be cast out of heaven, in mercy to the whole catholick Church? |
A62864 | If unbelief brake them, will not repentance graff them in? |
A62864 | Imo haec omnia praedestinationis effecta sunt: quomodo igitur possunt statui praedestinationis causae? |
A62864 | In what regard is the new frame better ● d by casting out infants which were in the old? |
A62864 | Is Mr. B. allowed to accuse in generals, and not to instance in particulars? |
A62864 | Is a Scottish Covenanter any other then one that makes a promise or subscribes to the Covenant? |
A62864 | Is all this then no promise, but a transeunt fact? |
A62864 | Is any man called being uncircumcised? |
A62864 | Is any man the wiser for a meer Negative? |
A62864 | Is baptizing all one with sealing? |
A62864 | Is infants church- membership essential to Church constitution? |
A62864 | Is it a physical action though a moral causation of some physical effect? |
A62864 | Is it in the word Church? |
A62864 | Is it meant first of Gods Law or Covenant enacting ▪ making, and constituting them a Church? |
A62864 | Is it not the body of Christ? |
A62864 | Is it not the body of Christ? |
A62864 | Is it sense to call that a covenant without a Trope, which is neither a promise nor a condition of a covenant? |
A62864 | Is not Churchmembership contained in[ God''s being their God, and taking them for his people thus in Covenant?] |
A62864 | Is not here comfort( but by a silly comforter) to all the Jewes themselves? |
A62864 | Is not the nature, end, and use of Sacram ● ● ts or holy engaging signs and seals, the same to all? |
A62864 | Is not the wonderfull success of the Gospel one of our strong arguments for the truth of the Gospel and our Christian Religion? |
A62864 | Is not this a contradiction, to say all invisible members are visible? |
A62864 | Is not this enough to make his cause suspicious? |
A62864 | Is not this the manner of quakers and scolds? |
A62864 | Is nothing written in Scripture but expresly? |
A62864 | Is that a ceremony to a thing which is the substance of it? |
A62864 | Is that his charity? |
A62864 | Is the substance of a being a distinct thing from it? |
A62864 | Is there any Translator or Commentator afore him that hath thus expounded it? |
A62864 | Is this a safe ground to build so great a weight on? |
A62864 | Is this establishing Covenant or promise but a transeunt fact? |
A62864 | Is this such doctrine as were enough to break their hearts? |
A62864 | Is this the Gospel- covenant to make a people only reputatively and outwardly, but not really adopted: Is this that which circumcision did seal? |
A62864 | Is this the covenant of grace which the seal is to follow? |
A62864 | It is: But wh ● se is it? |
A62864 | Keturahs children were Churchmembers in infancy: I enquire of you by what act they were made such? |
A62864 | Lot came out of Ur with Abraham, yea and from Haran, and lived with him: were not Lot and his infants Churchmembers then? |
A62864 | Master Sidenham will have infants by the words[ your children] will he say the promise was then offered to them, and they then under the call of God? |
A62864 | May I not also exact of you to shew when and where this was taken away? |
A62864 | May he have liberty, as in a Chancery bill hath been wo nt, to put in all he can imagine, whether true or false? |
A62864 | May not any thing be from heaven or by Gods appointment which is derived from a Jewish custome? |
A62864 | Mr M. adds, And did any orthodox Divines before your self, charge this to be Arminianism, to say that the Gospel runs upon conditions? |
A62864 | Mr. B. adds, But why do I expect th ● ● when hee suspendeth his judgement? |
A62864 | Mr. B. adds, If it were asked what benefit had the Circumcision? |
A62864 | Mr. C. in this passage speaks so obscurely that it is hard to say what he drives at, and I may take up the saying, reed me a riddle what''s this? |
A62864 | Mr. M. asks, But if we Gentiles have it not, then are not we, I pray you, straightned in that particular? |
A62864 | Much more to call this the Copy of Abraham the Father of believers? |
A62864 | My answer was right, and to his Demand, where it is found in the word of God? |
A62864 | Name mee one place in the New Testament, that more evidently speaks in an expository way of any Text in the Old? |
A62864 | No; Or do they baptize them out of Covenant? |
A62864 | Now can this be good sense to be all the world, the Kingdomes of the world, and to be called or separated from or out of the world? |
A62864 | Now doth Christ break off all infants from his body, that he may come in the flesh to be a greater mercy to them? |
A62864 | Now how doth Mr. Geree wipe this away? |
A62864 | Now is not that a strong ground of hope, that so dying, they shall not be damned? |
A62864 | Now must I throw away that which is past doubt because of that which is doubtfull? |
A62864 | Now were all these members elected will any say? |
A62864 | Now what doth Mr. C. answer? |
A62864 | Now what is the blessing of Abraham? |
A62864 | Now what promise was that? |
A62864 | Now what saith Mr. Bl to this? |
A62864 | Now what saith Mr. Geree to this? |
A62864 | Now what saith Mr. Sidenham to this? |
A62864 | Now who are this seed of Abrhaam? |
A62864 | Now who dare expound thi ● thus? |
A62864 | O what a Church might we have had, and were likely to have had? |
A62864 | O what work have you made your self? |
A62864 | Or did every new ceremony that was added make a new Church, or constitution of the Church? |
A62864 | Or have you not seen enough to make you suspect and fear whether indeed God own your way or not? |
A62864 | Or how could it be any part of the cause? |
A62864 | Or if infants were Church- members long before either Temple, or Sanedrim, or High Priest,& c. Why may they not be so when these are down? |
A62864 | Or is it in the term[ member?] |
A62864 | Or is it meant of Gods immediate call from heaven to Abraham or any others to bring them into the Covenant? |
A62864 | Or what day? |
A62864 | Pag 153. what saith Mr. B. to this? |
A62864 | Qu 1. did ● o ● o nomine cease to be Churchmembers, though they forsook not God? |
A62864 | Quid festinat innocens aetas ad remissionem peccatorum? |
A62864 | Quo teneam nodo? |
A62864 | Saith he, And I pray you tell me yet a little better, how an act can make a man a Churchmember that was one long before that was done? |
A62864 | Saith he, Are not little ones here named? |
A62864 | Saith he, But I further answer: What if this were not understood? |
A62864 | Saith he, I demand did they continue in the Church visible, when upon execution of such a decree they were cast out of the Church invisible? |
A62864 | Saith he, Why should Moses say, here stand your children and wives, that not they but you might enter into Covenant? |
A62864 | Sir, was this the Covenant of works? |
A62864 | Sir, was this the covenant of works? |
A62864 | So Mr. T. saith, It is a mercy to the whole catholicke Church: But what is that to infants who are unchurched? |
A62864 | So that our enquiry must be Whether the Congregation and the Commonwealth be the same thing in your sense?] |
A62864 | Such as I believe the Sun never saw, nor the wisest Lawyer in England ever read before? |
A62864 | Suppose I could not assign the day, is not the thing true? |
A62864 | That I raise a doubt whether[ any] covenant made with Abraham be simply Evangelical? |
A62864 | That baptism seals that promise in which God engageth himself to be the God of believing Christians, and their seed? |
A62864 | That infants of beleevers have salvation, if they die in their infancy, by ver ● ue of the Covenant? |
A62864 | That the Jews and their rejection was the ground of the Gentiles? |
A62864 | That they know not what mercy it is that is here promised, whether common or special: To which I answer: what if they know not? |
A62864 | That 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, such children should stay till three or four years old more, or less? |
A62864 | That[ he will be their God] is his promise: but is that all the Covenant? |
A62864 | The absolute promise is to give faith: Is not God and Man in like manner engaged by baptism in sealing this as well as the other? |
A62864 | The first question in order fit to be resolved is[ whether infants before Christs incarnation were Churchmembers? |
A62864 | The objection still holds, How can baptism seal to an infant? |
A62864 | The question between us is no ● so mu ● h Whether infants may be baptized? |
A62864 | Then I would fain be resolved in this whether Christ took upon him onely the nature of the Jews, or of the Jews and Gentiles both? |
A62864 | Then it was no mercy to the Jews you think, but to us Gentiles: But our question is, whether it be a mercy to the unchurched infants? |
A62864 | Then the Gentiles, Pagans infants now, are happier then the Jews were then; for the Pagans and their infants are out of the Church? |
A62864 | There is no common nature of a Sacrament expressed in Scripture, therefore Baptism is not a Sacrament, more then in this? |
A62864 | There shall be no more thence an infant of days; How can thi ● be understood litterally? |
A62864 | There was no such question as Mr. B. would impose on mee, as if I doubted whether any infant should bee saved? |
A62864 | They have the word or promise, which is the greater; who can inhibite the sign which is the less? |
A62864 | This very reply what is it but a vain shift? |
A62864 | This was the way which he often attempted, which is implied in the phrase, how often would I? |
A62864 | To his qustion, If all members of the visible Church be not Abrahams seed, what right have they to the seal of the covenant made to Abrahams seed? |
A62864 | To some a person may seem to be of the invisible Church, to others not, is he of the visible Church or not? |
A62864 | To speak so contemptuously in such disparaging language of the Kingdome and Gospel of Christ? |
A62864 | To the Kings Supremacy what is parity among Elders in the Church? |
A62864 | To this Mr, M. But is not this the same sense with mine? |
A62864 | To this Mr. M. Where i ● Circumcision compared to burial, and wherein I pray you lies the analogy between them? |
A62864 | To this he replies, How doth that follow? |
A62864 | To this the Dr. saith, But I wonder what appearance of concludency there is in that reason? |
A62864 | To what other end should God command them? |
A62864 | To which I answer, they were; and ask him, Whether they were not without a saving faith? |
A62864 | To which I answer: There are abundance far greater given in their stead: And what is that then to those that have nothing in their stead? |
A62864 | To which I reply, Did he ever hear me deny it? |
A62864 | True: But do ● h hee term any infant so in those places? |
A62864 | True: but was this goodness or severity in respect of a meer visible Churchstate? |
A62864 | Was it but here one and there one when three thousand were converted at once, and five thousand afterwards? |
A62864 | Was it ever heard before from the mouth of man, that Christ succeeded churchmembership, as a thing that was to give place for him? |
A62864 | Was not Christs Church before his incarnation spiritual, and gathered in a spiritual way? |
A62864 | Was not Cornelius taken for unclean, and not of that Church, because uncircumcised? |
A62864 | Was not the Jewish people a Church before they had either a Temple, or Sanhedrim, or High Priest, or any of the ceremonies of the Law of Moses? |
A62864 | Was not the promise, saith he, made to them that then were? |
A62864 | Was there ever a Law or Covenant made in the world any other way ● hen by a transeunt fact? |
A62864 | Well, But may it not yet lie in the second point[ that they were all taken in to be a Church in one day?] |
A62864 | Were infants of Proselytes to be baptized because they were infants? |
A62864 | Were not they, saith he; captivated oft in the time of the Judges, and so it might at least be made good then? |
A62864 | Were not this a contemptible arguing? |
A62864 | Were they not aliens and strangers so much as from the Commonwealth of Israel? |
A62864 | What Commission, whence have the Church power to exchange and commute ones profession for anothers? |
A62864 | What Ordinance is there then which may be abused by receiving visible Church- membership? |
A62864 | What a hard word is this[ Churchmember?] |
A62864 | What a powerfull argument is here for a man to venture upon to unchurch all the infants in the world? |
A62864 | What advantage hath the Jew, and what profit the circumcision? |
A62864 | What aptitude hath the leading to Padan Aram, or removal to Aegypt, to make infants Churchmembers? |
A62864 | What can I i ● agine but that Mr. T. knowingly fastens this gross untruth upon mee? |
A62864 | What can be said against this that is sense or reason? |
A62864 | What day was that? |
A62864 | What he adds, I say therefore as Peter whither shall we go, if we forsake the Church? |
A62864 | What he adds, Indeed God chose the seed of Abraham ● n a special manner? |
A62864 | What if Mr. T. should use Magistrates as he doth infants( as former Anabaptists have done) hath he not as good ground? |
A62864 | What if all this were true? |
A62864 | What is Christs Kingdom but his Church? |
A62864 | What is that to Churchmembership? |
A62864 | What is the Church the Doctour means, that accepts a proxies profession in st ● ad of the childe? |
A62864 | What is the Church? |
A62864 | What is the meaning of that expression, the privileges of the Covenant were made to all? |
A62864 | What is this to a ministerial call? |
A62864 | What is this to them that are put out of that carnal Churchstate, and kept out of this spiritual Churchstate too? |
A62864 | What kind of juggling is there with these men? |
A62864 | What need I, when I grant the conclusion? |
A62864 | What ordinary way& state of salvation external have they more than Mahometanes? |
A62864 | What promise? |
A62864 | What real Evangelical promise or blessing do infan ● s of believing Jews now lose, by not being Christian visible Churchmembers? |
A62864 | What saith Mr. B. now? |
A62864 | What saith this Text to any such matter? |
A62864 | What strange kinds of Heretiques were the Quartodecimani, Aerians, Helvidians, and many more? |
A62864 | What strange mysterious tautologies would be in this one verse? |
A62864 | What then doth Mr. Blake take my meaning to be? |
A62864 | What then is this making them a Church in one day that Mr. T. so cloudily talks of? |
A62864 | What then remains to be denied? |
A62864 | What was by Magistrates? |
A62864 | What was it that Abraham did? |
A62864 | What was that to an Eunuchs case and others which never sojourned with them for any space? |
A62864 | What was wo nt to be opposed against the reformation of Popish and Prelatical corruptions, shall we go against all antiquity? |
A62864 | What''s that, but to be a greater mercy then himself, who is the life, and welfare of the body? |
A62864 | What, are they exhort ● d to look least they bee cut off from Gods election,& c? |
A62864 | What, may not any or all the nations of the world be added to the Church, if they will consent, and enter the Covenant? |
A62864 | What? |
A62864 | What? |
A62864 | What? |
A62864 | When they say, it is the administration of the Covenant, do they mean the Covenant or promise of the baptized to God, or Gods promise to the baptized? |
A62864 | When they say[ it is the administration of the Covenant] do they mean the outward or inward Covenant? |
A62864 | Where did God allow him to become a proxy or su ● ety for an infant? |
A62864 | Where is there mention of a seal? |
A62864 | Where then lies this peculiar call by the Magistrate? |
A62864 | Whether a man may not oblige himself to a duty meerly by his consent? |
A62864 | Whether any Jew at age was a member of the old Church without professing faith( in the Articles necessary to salvation) repentance and obedience? |
A62864 | Whether from thence Christ derived this right of baptizing Christians? |
A62864 | Whether it be nor against the Gospel to entitle p ● rsons to the Church visible Christian by their natural generation of beleevers? |
A62864 | Whether it be not a profanation of Baptism to use it otherwise then Christ appointed? |
A62864 | Whether it be not manifest hypocrisie to oppose the Cross, Surplice,& c. and to be zealous for Infant baptism? |
A62864 | Whether then were not the children of the Disciples and all believing Jewes Churchmembers in infancy? |
A62864 | Whether there were any Ordinance or Law of God that infants should be Churchmembers? |
A62864 | Whether they who do so, do not break the solemn Covenant of endeavouring reformation according to Gods word? |
A62864 | Whether this of initiating into the Covenant by baptism were a Jewish custome? |
A62864 | Who dare believe such fancies, without one word of Scripture? |
A62864 | Who dare make God the author of confusion which is the God of order? |
A62864 | Who denies it? |
A62864 | Who gave them or that person the name of the Church? |
A62864 | Who saith it doth? |
A62864 | Why does innocent age( meaning children in their infancy) make hast for remission of sins? |
A62864 | Why doth he not prove it then from some Scripture or reason? |
A62864 | Why else doth God so oft compare his love to that of a mother or father to the childe? |
A62864 | Why else doth the Jewish Church pray for her little sister that had no breasts? |
A62864 | Why may he not as well say, that all the body of the Jewish nation are now delivered by being cast out of the Church or Family of Christ? |
A62864 | Why should Paul thus break out in his affections, for the loss of outward privileges, if it were not such a mercy to be under them? |
A62864 | Why should the strangers stand there, v. 11. and yet Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob not their fathers? |
A62864 | Why then doth Mr. B. suggest, to draw par ● is hearts from me to him, as if he said more in this then my self? |
A62864 | Why then is not the churchmembership of men and women to give place to Christs comming in the flesh? |
A62864 | Why, Sir, where is the difficulty? |
A62864 | Will M. T. turn a downright Arminian, that hee may have any plea against the baptising of poor infants? |
A62864 | Will Master Cobbet assert, the promise must be as large as the curse? |
A62864 | Would it be proper to say in his Pulpit( when he was speaking of the nature of holiness and chastity) sanctified Socrates, holy Aristides? |
A62864 | Would not a Scholler say he played the fool? |
A62864 | Yea but have they not a promise on which to ground this charitable presumption? |
A62864 | Yea, do I not dispute against it? |
A62864 | Yea, to justifie all Jews against this charge, that should neglect or refuse to engage their children to God in Covenant as members of his Church? |
A62864 | Yea; If by being out of Covenant be meant, that the Covenant of salvation is not made by God to them; then how come any to fall off and be damned? |
A62864 | Yet again saith Mr. B. like a brave Goliath, And are not all professors of Christianity in England, as truly in the Church as all in Israel were? |
A62864 | Yet again, What was it then that Abraham did more then now may be done? |
A62864 | Yet further, saith he, why then hath God made such promises to the parents for their seed? |
A62864 | [ Whether such laws, preceps, or grants as I shall prove, are capable of a repeal or revocation?] |
A62864 | [ Whether there be any transeunt fact of God, which without the efficiency of precept or promise did make the infants of Israel Churchmembers?] |
A62864 | [ Whether there be such precepts and promises as you grant( or as I shall prove) which yet make not infants Churchmembers?] |
A62864 | [ Whether they are actually revoked or repealed?] |
A62864 | [ Whether those which you have assigned be such facts?] |
A62864 | [ Which are the Texts of Scripture that contain or express the said laws, precepts, or grants which I maintain?] |
A62864 | [ Whosoever believeth not shall bee damned] that all infants are certainly damned? |
A62864 | a seal of the righteousness of faith? |
A62864 | and doth grace increase it? |
A62864 | and hath advanced us in his family, as the Heir at age is advanced? |
A62864 | and hath he not done so? |
A62864 | and how Christ can bid them disciple infants without making Christ a fool and a tyrant in commanding that which is ridiculous and impossible? |
A62864 | and how? |
A62864 | and if circumcised at any time by any of the godly Church guides consent, what gave them right to it? |
A62864 | and if no ●, how shall we know which is true, which not? |
A62864 | and is here no Covenant, where the mutual Covenant is described? |
A62864 | and many myriads or ten thousands even of the Jews that continued zealous of the Law did believe? |
A62864 | and not as a Prophet? |
A62864 | and so approve of the natural birth priviledge of our children in civil things? |
A62864 | and suffer his Church to be wrong framed till now? |
A62864 | and the Scripture encourage it? |
A62864 | and tho first unresolved, is[ what Church it is that infants were members of?] |
A62864 | and to how many generations? |
A62864 | and was the uncircumcised Host onely in the Wilderness the Church? |
A62864 | and what a sort of new political Doctrine shall we have from you, when these things are accomplished according to the frame you have begun? |
A62864 | and what constituteth it formally? |
A62864 | and what seed of Abraham did it come on? |
A62864 | and what th ● t was? |
A62864 | and what the substantial terms of the Covenant? |
A62864 | and what you imagine that precept or promise to be which I assert? |
A62864 | and whether the moral action of that law were permanent or transient? |
A62864 | and whether you may not as well make all the acts from Abrahams call till Christ to be one fact, and assign it to this office? |
A62864 | and why not of a Church? |
A62864 | and would they take it well? |
A62864 | and yet are they excluded? |
A62864 | and yet is it, that they may be turned from their iniquity? |
A62864 | and yet must they take it for a mercy, that their children are put out? |
A62864 | are any of these essential to their Church constitution? |
A62864 | are infants such ● ● ads or Vipers in comparison of men of years, that it is a mercy to the whole catholicke Church to have them cast out? |
A62864 | as Whether they are in the number of Christians, and to be added as members to the visible Church? |
A62864 | as if it were but to one infant in a nation in reprieving him a day from damnation? |
A62864 | at least you understand it? |
A62864 | baptize baptizing, from inept ● autology? |
A62864 | because the whole city was moved, saying, who is this? |
A62864 | besides all Gentiles? |
A62864 | besides here is a new creation of a new generation[ son of years] who ever heard such a Syntax? |
A62864 | can not we have a room in the body without being cast out at the comming of the head? |
A62864 | condemn all the Churches? |
A62864 | credo ▪ Spondes? |
A62864 | did he make them members without their consent? |
A62864 | did not infants after as well, as un ● er the captivity make up their weeke of dayes, months of weeks? |
A62864 | did the son beget t ● e bow, perdition, the earth, or the bow, perdition, the earth the son? |
A62864 | did the son beget the years, or the years the son? |
A62864 | doth he conclude definitely of baptism here? |
A62864 | doth he not expresly term them Saints by their calling not by their Baptism? |

A62864 | doth it follow that is not the meaning which I give? |
A62864 | except the Anabaptists, who reject the benefit; whose case( as I said before) I will not presume to determine? |
A62864 | had it not been for the Separatists and you? |
A62864 | how absurd were that? |
A62864 | how can these two be right? |
A62864 | how do men enter into covenant, but by some act testifying assent to a promise? |
A62864 | if God hath given them the like gift as unto us that believe on the Lord J ● sus Christ, who was I that I could forbid God? |
A62864 | if ungodly progenitors intervene? |
A62864 | infants were moved saying, who is this? |
A62864 | is Covenant- fellowship all one with the Covenant? |
A62864 | is it not for their advantage? |
A62864 | is it to as many as the Lord shall call, or convert, or cause to repent? |
A62864 | is it to persons called, and yet also to uncalled persons? |
A62864 | is it to them that they may be called, yet the persons to whom the promise is, are as many as are supposed to be called? |
A62864 | is meant of Christs entring into his rest? |

A62864 | was not thi ● an heavie and intollerable yoke? |

A62864 | why must they needs fall with them when they did not rise with them? |
A62864 | why then doth Master Blake so ineptly intimate me to be singular in my conceit? |
A62864 | why, do you not know what a[ member] is? |
A62864 | will it follow, if a Covenant was made to no more then before, therefore not to all that were before? |

A62864 | yet in practice we know they did eat it? |
A62864 | yet it is mercy ▪ and more then corporal if not special; what if God promise onely in general to bee to them a merciful God? |

A39566 | & c. after he had washed their feet he saies to them: know you what I have done to you? |
A39566 | & c. to particularize more punctually then we? |
A39566 | ( have a care of your shinnes( good now) by all means) do the children of believers fall from it? |
A39566 | ( quid rides? |

A39566 | ?) |
A39566 | Again you had much need( had you not think you?) |
A39566 | Again, I would ask what warrand they have for dipping, or baptizing garments more then the Papists have for baptizing bells? |
A39566 | Again, who holds or practises such a thing as naked dipping of women and maids? |
A39566 | An deus potius non fuisse? |
A39566 | And Thirdly be taken up again as A. R. and you seem to reason? |
A39566 | And as Peter in his first preaching the praeceptory part of Christs Gospel to the Jews, when they enquired what they should do? |
A39566 | And how no answer, but no answer, Dr. Chamberlain had from Dr. Gouge to this question, Whether the sprinkling of Infants were of God or man? |
A39566 | And lastly whereas Mr. Baxter queries so oft when Mr. Tombs would have such baptized, the set time of whose conversion? |
A39566 | And lastly, whereas he challenges us to shew where ever God pronounced any blessed, and yet took them for none of his visible Church? |
A39566 | And now because you ask how we know they have faith whom we baptize? |
A39566 | And now why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | And what mean you by your Pastors leaving you to take up some other call or imployment? |
A39566 | And what then? |
A39566 | And whereas he saies of infants may they not be called Gods servants from the meer interest of dominion that God hath to them? |
A39566 | Are soules all equal in their Creation, and are souls which are all equal the subject of faith? |
A39566 | Are these your Examples of baptizing otherwaies then by dipping? |
A39566 | Are you not ashamed of such a blind businesse as this? |
A39566 | Buried? |
A39566 | But Sirs is it so in earnest in your opinion, that no baptism no hope of salvation? |
A39566 | But Sirs, will this hold a triall think you by the word? |
A39566 | But by what proofs do they confirm they have the true Church? |
A39566 | But if you stand so much on the signification of the word, why do you not drown persons when you baptize them? |
A39566 | But is it so Sirs? |
A39566 | But is it so that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 signifies in and is so rendred in that place, and many more? |
A39566 | But quorsum haec? |
A39566 | But should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? |
A39566 | But then what simple stuff were this? |
A39566 | But what if this be but a meer Chimaera of these mens coining, how much lesse are we then excused in our non- submission? |
A39566 | But what of this? |
A39566 | But where was your Church then all this while till these latter times? |
A39566 | Can any man forbid water why these should not be baptized, which have received the holy spirit as well as we? |
A39566 | Can you be baptized in a better manner think you then that wherein Iohn baptized Christ, and Philip the Eunuch? |
A39566 | Coventry, Cheapside, Charing,& others? |
A39566 | Daniel was thrown into and taken up out of the Lyons den, does not that shew plainly enough that he was in it? |
A39566 | Did I give, and grant so much? |
A39566 | Did not Philip baptize the Samaritans and the Eunuch? |
A39566 | Do not the infants of unbelievers very often prove believers, and so elect, and precious? |
A39566 | Do you know any thing against the particular infant of an heathen? |
A39566 | Doth not Philip to one that askt him this question, why may I not be baptized? |
A39566 | Easter, Christmas, Whitsunday,& c. didst not thou O Presbyter? |
A39566 | Fifthly, any where viz: at home or abroad, in Inns or other places, as occasion is, but onely or for the most part in your great stone houses? |
A39566 | Fiftly, if as to the time of those two services, the question be askt Quando? |
A39566 | First do you conclude that all the children of believing parents have it now? |
A39566 | First which way come your natural seed, you being but Gentiles in the flesh, to be the seed of Abraham? |
A39566 | First, Risum teneatis amici? |
A39566 | First, Si aliquid quare non quicquid? |
A39566 | First, if we ask( as de subjecto) this question quis? |
A39566 | First, is it so that the command to circumcise infants is vertually a command to us to baptize them? |
A39566 | For First, is there no Medium between being a reprobate, and a present having the holy spirit? |
A39566 | Fourthly, if, as to the quality, special properties, uses, ends and offices of these two dispensations, the question be asked in quale quid? |
A39566 | Go teach all Nations baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I command you, and now why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | God forbid: know ye not that every one that''s baptized into Christ, is baptized into his death? |
A39566 | Good Lord how is the practise of the truth made a reproach unto thy people, and a derision dayly? |
A39566 | Good Sirs, what mean you by this? |
A39566 | He answers, the commission being for all Nations disciples were made in all Countreys; how soone saith he came the word to this Nation? |
A39566 | Here reason demands of you why after baptism you admit not infants to the supper? |
A39566 | Holland, Germany,& c. and bring the word unto us, that we may hear it and do it? |
A39566 | How can a man escape choaking Sirs, if he be put and kept under the water? |
A39566 | How do those men and women that are baptized at years make it appear to those that baptize them, that they have faith and the holy spirit? |
A39566 | How often shall I adjure you the next time you write to write no more then truth at least in matter of fact? |
A39566 | How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
A39566 | How you gather from these places a dipping of the whole man over head and under water? |
A39566 | How? |
A39566 | I am sure it was a custome before we were born; how shall our children come to have names, if they be not Christned? |
A39566 | I answer how many and in how short a time does the man mean? |
A39566 | I answer, who doubts of that? |
A39566 | I beseech you Sirs, upon what grounds? |
A39566 | I demand therefore yet once again, what seed of Abraham your infants are, in that thereupon you undertake( as so) to baptize them? |
A39566 | I pray Sirs, what''s become of the odd five and a half? |
A39566 | I reply thus, were not Abraham, Isaac and Iacob their fleshly fathers? |
A39566 | I say what a bald way of arguing is this? |
A39566 | I wonder who baptized Iohn the Baptist, that was the greatest administrator that ever was? |
A39566 | I wonder who those are? |
A39566 | I would know with these new dippers saith Mr. Cook, whether the parties to be doused and dipped may be baptized in a garment, or no? |
A39566 | I''le saie it again that you may consider it, for sure you did not consider what you said when you said it, what children of day old? |
A39566 | Iesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? |
A39566 | If any should ask this question, what hinders why I may not eat the supper? |
A39566 | If it be further askt, how faith is bread in them? |
A39566 | If it be inquired how faith can be said to be in them without their consent? |
A39566 | If it was so? |
A39566 | If under the Law, why not under the Gospel? |
A39566 | If you will have any thing holy with that Ceremonial holiness now, why not every thing that then was so? |
A39566 | Impertinency? |
A39566 | Is it not the work of the spirit to infuse faith? |
A39566 | Is it so Sirs, that the spirit is not tyed to work by means in little children, in the same cases, wherein he works by means in men, and women? |
A39566 | Is not faith a work as well as repentance, and the rest? |
A39566 | Is that Scripture think you intended to infants? |
A39566 | It makes them count the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing, for if it be holy, what need they repeat it? |
A39566 | It s own name? |
A39566 | Just so Sirs, and not a jot otherwise? |
A39566 | Let them gain what they can, whom can they gain? |
A39566 | Let us search, and try, and turn, was there ever any confession of sin without it? |
A39566 | Moreover if the Apostles did lay on hands at years, though Christ in infancy ▪ what if Christ had baptized those infants in infancy also? |
A39566 | Mothers, as well as by the hands of the Pries ● s onely? |
A39566 | Must they not go down to the water( saith he) if they would use it? |
A39566 | No Sirs? |
A39566 | No Sirs? |
A39566 | No certainly, And why not? |
A39566 | No? |
A39566 | No? |
A39566 | Nothing more ordinary then to have words out of their prime signification? |
A39566 | Now if it be the sincerity that is looked after, who knoweth what day or year the child began to be sincere in his profession? |
A39566 | O ye house of Levi is the spirit of the Lord thus streitned? |
A39566 | Quis? |
A39566 | Reason say you? |
A39566 | Rivers, Iordan, Enon, many waters, and why? |
A39566 | Secondly be kept under water to signifie his burial? |
A39566 | Secondly kept under water to signify his burial? |
A39566 | Secondly why do you, or how can you sign them as heirs of the Gospel promise so simply upon that account only? |
A39566 | Secondly( Risum teneatis amici?) |
A39566 | Secondly, Si aliqualitèr, quarè non aequalitèr? |
A39566 | Secondly, all male servants upon the masters single faith, as well as male children on the fathers? |
A39566 | Secondly, are you sure they were infants of believers of whom Christ saies, whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me? |
A39566 | Secondly, do you know so precisely which infants are Elect, and which Reprobate, as to take upon you to distinguish them by baptism? |
A39566 | Secondly, how doth it appear at all that godly and believing parents children then had faith more usually then children of ungodly parents? |
A39566 | Secondly, how far forth do they make it appear to you? |
A39566 | Secondly, if( as to the nature, matter and essential form or being of the Rites themselves) we ask the question quid? |
A39566 | Secondly, let me ask you, is Gods witness, Gods testimony true, or is it false? |
A39566 | Secondly, what are these littles to the lump? |
A39566 | Secondly, when had they it begotten in them? |
A39566 | Secondly, whereas t is askt what persons are to say or do,( at the administration of laying hands) that they may be found faithful in that point? |
A39566 | Seventhly, if( as to the account and warrant) it be demanded Cur? |
A39566 | Si aliquando quare non nunc? |
A39566 | Sirs where is the blessedness you speak of? |
A39566 | Sirs, let me ask you two questions, first are you sure these are infants indeed? |
A39566 | Sirs, what children of the Jews had faith in their infancy witnessed by Circumcision, were they the children of the believing or unbelieving Jews? |
A39566 | Sirs, what pretty intricate blind bo- beep Divinity is this of yours? |
A39566 | Sixthly, if, as to the administrator, it be ask quibus auxiliis? |
A39566 | Some who are those I trow? |
A39566 | That the Covenant of grace is for substance not two but in all ages one and the same within it self who denies? |
A39566 | There may he washings though, and dippings too, but what needs such a totall dipping as you use? |
A39566 | Therefore S ● rs, how hath Satan bewitched you that you can not believe and obey the truth? |
A39566 | They lose it again when they come to more years, else why are they taught the element of faith? |
A39566 | Thirdly if, as to the place where, we ask the question ubi? |
A39566 | Thirdly, is it any more evident to you that all believers infants are taught of God, then t is that unbelievers infants are taught by him? |
A39566 | Thirdly, on the eighth day onely, and neither sooner nor later, nor one day before it nor behind it? |
A39566 | Thirdly, was Circumcision Gods witness, yea Gods seal to assure men of thus much, that those children to whom it was set had faith? |
A39566 | Thirdly, what judgement do you passe upon believers infants to be the subjects of baptism, rather then other infants? |
A39566 | This is aliud a negato; a plain absurd a berration from the question, which is not whether it be a sin ordinarily to dip naked or no? |
A39566 | Thou tellest us, Suppose the Saints and churches ought to have held fast their administration of ordinances to this day, yet what of that? |
A39566 | To those without? |
A39566 | To which I reply, saith he, where is your Scripture for that? |
A39566 | Totally drowned? |
A39566 | Unless they be baptized in their infancy? |
A39566 | Was not that of Paul spoken of man onely at years? |
A39566 | Well then they were broken off: but why? |
A39566 | Well what if it was so in the primitive times, that total dipping was the custome, must it therefore needs be so now? |
A39566 | What Infants of a day old? |
A39566 | What Sirs is the Gospel, the plain simple gospel, such a maeander as this? |
A39566 | What a strange conceit is this? |
A39566 | What again? |
A39566 | What again? |
A39566 | What again? |
A39566 | What an egregious untruth is there? |
A39566 | What force therefore is in this Argument to conclude against the truth of our way? |
A39566 | What frivolous quibling is all this? |
A39566 | What is that Analogy and Agreement which is between the sign and the thing signifyed in baptism? |
A39566 | What is the result of this discourse, to forbid all disputation with HHHim? |
A39566 | What is this to the present question and position concerning no more inclinablenesse to holy actions in children of Christians, then of infidels? |
A39566 | What pretty Checker work is there in your judgements about one and the same thing? |
A39566 | What prety Gim- cracks are here? |
A39566 | What quarrels and jarres between the Fryers of several orders? |
A39566 | What saith he if we could not prove that the English Church was before Luther, Must it needs follow that the doctrine we hold is untrue? |
A39566 | What still Sirs? |
A39566 | What then? |
A39566 | Where should this bath be prepared? |
A39566 | Where was your Church before Luther? |
A39566 | Whether infants were the true subject? |
A39566 | Whether it be just to load them that still stick to the truth, with the blame of all their blasphemies that go off from it? |
A39566 | Whether sprinkling were the true manner of baptizing? |
A39566 | Whether their profession, since it is possible they may lie, can make it appear infallibly? |
A39566 | Which of all these three are to be found in your aspersion? |
A39566 | Who sees not the weaknesse, the wretchednesse of this consequence? |
A39566 | Why then should not children under the Gospel receive baptism, which the Adversaries confess to be the Seal of the Gospel- Covenant? |
A39566 | Yea Sirs? |
A39566 | Yea Sirs? |
A39566 | Yea say you so? |
A39566 | Yea surely Sirs, why not? |
A39566 | above all men, who so strenuously contends that by the word Kingdoms of this world is meant not in part only, but the whole kingdom? |
A39566 | all the dying infants of unbelievers? |
A39566 | all your skill in Physiogmony can never find it: or can you argue ad negationem habitus, to no holiness in an infidels infant more then in anothers? |
A39566 | and I said what shall I do Lord? |
A39566 | and also concerning a people, that were already baptized with the spirit, asks who can forbid water why these may not be baptized? |
A39566 | and also to what purpose did she perform it? |
A39566 | and are not soules which are all equall in their creation the subject of it? |
A39566 | and as ordinarily believers infants( when they come to years I mean) prove reprobates? |
A39566 | and doth not that imply that else he might not? |
A39566 | and doth not this evince as much for women? |
A39566 | and have not works,& c. whereby onely faith is proved to be true indeed as it is professed, can that faith save him? |
A39566 | and how can they be sent to preach to infants that understand not what is said? |
A39566 | and how can they hear without a preacher? |
A39566 | and how can they preach except they be sent? |
A39566 | and how hear without a Preacher? |
A39566 | and how much more the losse of Christ himself? |
A39566 | and how much more then ours? |
A39566 | and if no analogie why are we said sacramentally in baptism to be buried, and raised? |
A39566 | and if not, why not be satisfied that it was preacht by some at least of Christs Apostles to all baptized believers? |
A39566 | and if so, then must not this unbelieving parent being a Root, have the same kind of holiness the child hath? |
A39566 | and if so, why he blames us more then himself, that, do what we can, so many run to ruin? |
A39566 | and if you do, is this habit innat ● s, acquisitus or infusus, by birth, or begotten in them by frequent acts of holiness, or infused from above? |
A39566 | and is it the consequent that the children of believing parents have it now? |
A39566 | and is not swilling under water a more effectuall way of washing and clensing then sprinkling? |
A39566 | and is that seal of his firm to, i. e, so sure that it can not fail? |
A39566 | and row why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | and so upwards till we come thither, are you able if we ask you who sprinkled you? |
A39566 | and such judgement is as due to one of these as to the other? |
A39566 | and such like how little do these look each like the other? |
A39566 | and suppose liberal and bountiful maintenance, and rich Revenues to be the chief corner stone in their church work? |
A39566 | and that a similitude of Christs death, burial and rising again, to be represented by dipping in water, is signified here? |
A39566 | and the trembling and astonished said Lord what wilt thou have me to do? |
A39566 | and though remote ones, yet were they not their true fathers after the flesh still as much as ever? |
A39566 | and to the company at Cornelius''s house, and Ananias in his to Paul, when he quaeried what he should do? |
A39566 | and what need at all that the Committees be so cumbered with the care of such affairs? |
A39566 | and whether because they all desired to go to heaven, therefore they were at heaven? |
A39566 | and who hath brought up these? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who ordained those that ordained you? |
A39566 | and who them? |
A39566 | and who them? |
A39566 | and who them? |
A39566 | and why not male servants though unbelieving Moores, Turks or Pagans if of believing masters? |
A39566 | and why should not this administration of the covenant in outward ordinances be after the manner of that of old? |
A39566 | and why then? |
A39566 | and yet do these include and comprize infants as much as men at years? |
A39566 | and you Presbyterians where was your Church before Calvin? |
A39566 | are infants of a day old capable of Baptism, that can not so much as be instructed in principles much less be begotten to the true Religion? |
A39566 | are not repentance from dead works, and belief towards God with all the heart, and confession of sins, and calling on God such kind of matters? |
A39566 | are not these priviledges belonging to men, why then( if yours and Mr Marshalls assertion be true) not to infants as well as men? |
A39566 | are the seed of true believers true converts mostly by birth? |
A39566 | are these your doings? |
A39566 | are they not among the number of souls capable to eat, every one pro suo modulo, according to the measure of his eating and digestion? |
A39566 | are they not mercies, administrations, merciful administrations of God, extended to all nations? |
A39566 | are they shut out of the kingdom of heaven? |
A39566 | are we more tied to follow his example in that, then in the dispensation of laying on of hands? |
A39566 | are you able to assign who began our way of baptism first of all in the world, unlesse you begin as high as Iohn the baptist? |
A39566 | are you not then condemned out of your own mouths to perpetual abhorring? |
A39566 | are your Pastors also such Idol shepheards, as it may be supposed now and then will leave their flocks for any other imployment? |
A39566 | as I am sure we can not warrantably, because not congruously, do otherwise? |
A39566 | baptism for the Hot Countryes; and Rantism for the Cold? |
A39566 | baptism, may stand in some proportion to its signatum, as well as the other i. e. circumcision? |
A39566 | because he had told them above that there should come one, that should delude many with lyes? |
A39566 | because the kingdomes of this world are, or else shall be the kindomes of God and Christ? |
A39566 | behold I was left alone, these where have they been? |
A39566 | besides what more to believers than unbelievers infants? |
A39566 | both branded for reprobates? |
A39566 | both which men direct their different doctrines to Mr. Tombes in order to his direction: but how shall that man be resolved? |
A39566 | but if they had none in infancy, then how can you deny but that they had none? |
A39566 | but may they thereupon be called disciples, and be baptized? |
A39566 | but no marvel if the Cat winckt, when both her eyes were out? |
A39566 | but what of that? |
A39566 | but what then? |
A39566 | but whether Rome be that universal Church or no that can not erre? |
A39566 | but whether we ordinarily use that kind of dipping? |
A39566 | by believing: nay the spiritual seed: quid ni? |
A39566 | by fleshly descent? |
A39566 | by whose hands these ordinances are to be administred? |
A39566 | can some scores of well meaning Priests give the denomination of an holy PPriesthood, godly Ministry to those legions of them that lie in wickednesse? |
A39566 | commission plain enough to baptism infants, where all nations are bid to be discipled and baptized? |
A39566 | could that water that toucht his legs while he waded, be more mischievous to him, then the water that washed the blood of his stripes? |
A39566 | creed that God hath promised to be merciful to Godly mens seed in general, in contradistinction to the seed of the wicked? |
A39566 | cu ●? |
A39566 | cui nativitas ei facultas auctrix, nutrix; et quare non nutrimentum? |
A39566 | denies it, with whom how often is it exprest that baptism is the first visible entrance into it? |
A39566 | did he build them upon one part of the foundation, and not on the other part? |
A39566 | did he constitute them partly upon it, and partly beside it? |
A39566 | did he no more then sprinkle, or pour a few drops of water on him? |
A39566 | did not some of you Masters, Provosts, Fellowes of Colledges and such like? |
A39566 | did not ye O Presbyterians? |
A39566 | did you press them to death i th''Press, or lose them i th''Ashes, whetein you had a design to have smothered it all? |
A39566 | do we not in common loquution say the same, while we say sprinkled in a font, or in a Bason? |
A39566 | do you believe in God the Father, and Christ& c. and will you be baptized in this faith? |
A39566 | dost thou forsake the divel? |
A39566 | doth it prove baptism to be the cause of that grosness that often followes, when a person is baptized? |
A39566 | doth our denying baptism to an infant before he dies send him to hell sooner then your delaying it till he be dead? |
A39566 | doth that phrase( I say) they which be of faith signifie believers infants? |
A39566 | drowning, racking, fleaing, stabbing, tearing with hot pincers, and( to use his own phrase) the severest punishments they could devise? |
A39566 | first I wonder how they came by it, sith the word saies faith comes by hearing, and how can there be believing on him of whom they have not heard? |
A39566 | for 42. months, or a 1260 years, as theirs was for 70 years? |
A39566 | for either he was baptized surely, or else he was not, if he was ever baptized at all, who baptized him? |
A39566 | for how does he speak, and that out of these Scriptures we are upon, that we ought thus to be baptized? |
A39566 | for none denies but that it hath, but whether the Pope be at all that head? |
A39566 | for the living to the dead? |
A39566 | for what else can they pretend? |
A39566 | for when he queries who can? |
A39566 | from the Gospel to a law long since ended? |
A39566 | from the living to the dead? |
A39566 | from the substance to the shadow? |
A39566 | from the truth to the type? |
A39566 | have any of the Rulers of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A39566 | have not you the CCClergy? |
A39566 | have ye received the holy spirit since ye believed? |
A39566 | he to infants, and they onely to persons past infancy? |
A39566 | how are thy depths, even thy downright deliveries of soul saving truth in plainess of speech by the mouths of stammerers stark duncery to them? |
A39566 | how can Turks and Pagans infants be saved? |
A39566 | how can they be saved if they die unchristned? |
A39566 | how can they believe on him of whom they have not heard? |
A39566 | how crookedly close do you keep to your own coppy? |
A39566 | how different are they? |
A39566 | how else could they have known it? |
A39566 | how far do they differ? |
A39566 | how far do you fall short of the Jewes in this also? |
A39566 | how farre is he from it as now he stands, whilst he saies plainly he will have no baptism? |
A39566 | how greatly doth your manner of baptism differ from it? |
A39566 | how hear without a preacher? |
A39566 | how is it possible that it should not signifie washing so long as it signifies dipping, dipping being no other then a kind of washing? |
A39566 | how miserably do you your selves misse of hitting right with it here too? |
A39566 | how pretily have you put these terms[ practised by the Church of God] into the very question, and that too as it stands stated beeween us? |
A39566 | how so? |
A39566 | how the bells began to play their parts against our preaching, when you had done, by the appointment of who knows not whom? |
A39566 | how then came it to pass that the most of the Iews and their children sucessively in all generations had not faith when they came to years? |
A39566 | how then dare you aver so peremptorily, so universally that every administration that extendeth to all nations, belongeth to infants as well as men? |
A39566 | how those men and women whom I had baptized did make it appear that they had faith, and the holy spirit? |
A39566 | how will not a poor, marred, mocked, misreputed Saviour, and gospel in any wise down with them? |
A39566 | how will you ever be able to make that good? |
A39566 | i. e. the supper as well as baptism? |
A39566 | i. e. to ungodly mens children as well as to those of godly parents? |
A39566 | if no exemption from a hotter service, why from a colder for the lifes sake? |
A39566 | if not where is then the analogie? |
A39566 | if so, how is it that when they are grown, the children of unbelievers have holiness very often, when as oft the other prove wicked, and have not? |
A39566 | if so, why not to repentance, and self denial also? |
A39566 | if unholy, how do they prophane it? |
A39566 | if unholy, in so saying oh how do you prophane it? |
A39566 | if you must keep so strictly to one and the same subject in circumcision, and baptism, why do you alter the subject your selves? |
A39566 | if you will needs Iudaize at all, why not in all as well as the Pope? |
A39566 | if you will needs utter falsehood in matter of Doctrine? |
A39566 | in as much as there s that required in order to baptisme which infants can no more do, then they can do what''s required to the supper? |
A39566 | in the womb? |
A39566 | in vvhich of all these places dare they allovv us the prime signification of the vvord? |
A39566 | infallibly? |
A39566 | is Christ thus divided? |
A39566 | is he not as holy as the child is, and so as capable of being baptized, and in covenant thereby? |
A39566 | is it not very fit therefore that they should still be used, the Church being yet under age? |
A39566 | is meant of more layings on of hands, when it expresly speaks but of one? |
A39566 | is not innocency in the whole state of infants, even in unbelievers infants as much to the full as in the other? |
A39566 | is not the story of Naamans washing himself seven times in Iordan full enough to our use, because there is no mention of his putting off and on? |
A39566 | is not this the Carpenter?) |
A39566 | is plain, and now why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | is their any worldly imployment to which the Pastors office must give way so to as to cease for its sake, when it comes in place? |
A39566 | is there any more Specimen or shew of holiness in them then in these? |
A39566 | is there any promise of God, whereby he stands ingaged to infuse holiness into these infants in infancy, when he will not infuse it into the other? |
A39566 | is there any such manglements as these to be found there? |
A39566 | little ones literally taken in the sixth? |
A39566 | meaning trow, that therfore it doth not go before it? |
A39566 | men of strife and contention to the whole earth? |
A39566 | must not all people search it? |
A39566 | no: who doub ● s of that? |
A39566 | not one scruple? |
A39566 | now therefore Quid rides? |
A39566 | on baptized believers be ever the more excluded, or the more incuded rather in all likelyhood among the rest? |
A39566 | or I would I knew what you mean by constitution? |
A39566 | or any other part*? |
A39566 | or are all infants of unbelievers reprobate, so that you may accordingly denominate them for such by whole sale as you do? |
A39566 | or believing infants? |
A39566 | or but probably? |
A39566 | or have you not rather taken it for granted from me whether I will, or no? |
A39566 | or if after birth, on what day on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th? |
A39566 | or if there were no more then this half an hours reading, how is it you give so large an Account of it here? |
A39566 | or if they can not, can not your Churches see to them a little what they lack? |
A39566 | or in baptism ask, how the baptizer must handle the person baptized, and where he must take hold on him, when he dips him? |
A39566 | or in token of his resurrection to a new life? |
A39566 | or is aspersion an action as answerable to a burial and resurrection, and painting it out as lively as submersion and emersion do? |
A39566 | or may the spirit blow no where, but where thou listest? |
A39566 | or must a man bring you another, and that a better kind of faith to the one, than he had need care for toward the other? |
A39566 | or must they search and find no more truth in it then thou findest? |
A39566 | or not? |
A39566 | or rather by who knows not whom? |
A39566 | or shall the doctrine of Rome be ever the truer because of Antiquitie only? |
A39566 | or that of certainty? |
A39566 | or the Major part of it? |
A39566 | or those thousands Peter promised the holy spirit to, were they all reprobates, because they yet had it not, when he spake to them? |
A39566 | or to prove believers infants to have it exclusively of the infants of unbelievers? |
A39566 | or wast thou set to keep people out from it under lock and key? |
A39566 | or what is it you would have? |
A39566 | or whether Christ hath not more water baptismes then one? |
A39566 | or whether dipping in Rivers be so necessary to baptism, that none are accounted baptized, but those that are dipped after such a manner? |
A39566 | qualis? |
A39566 | quando? |
A39566 | quibus auxiliis? |
A39566 | quid? |
A39566 | return this answer, if thou believest with all thy heart thou mayest? |
A39566 | saiest where is the promise of his coming? |
A39566 | secondly, whether they ever had it if you ask whether they ever had any? |
A39566 | shall the Parliament and their Committees never have their liberty to attend onely, and perfectly the true liberties of the subject? |
A39566 | shall we impute that fault to his being baptized? |
A39566 | shall we think that Peter taught the principles of the doctrine of Christ, all which he was to lay as one foundation among them, by the halves? |
A39566 | shall we think that all Christs ministers descend lineally from the loines of Antichrist? |
A39566 | shall we think that so many learned Orthodox divines would practise it if it were not the truth? |
A39566 | shall we( saith he, for so his sense is) continue in sin, i. e. we that are dead to it, and have been all baptized into Christ in token of it? |
A39566 | sith the cause of all such sacramental locution is because the sacraments are( as Austin saies) pictures of the things signified in them? |
A39566 | so that by the same Reason that we deny one of these to be in them, it may be therefore denied that they have the other? |
A39566 | some people believe therefore all must be baptized, Secondly, had the Jews children faith? |
A39566 | tells us that some branches only were broken off, therfore not infants, It is true all were not broken off, and why? |
A39566 | that have bought it for money? |
A39566 | that have have gotten it by brawling in the law? |
A39566 | that is strange: what parts of Christendome have you lived, or do you live in? |
A39566 | that is worse then all the rest: but I wonder what is if that be not the prime? |
A39566 | that it is a miracle to be dipped and not destroyed, then what a strange man is he to say so? |
A39566 | that of charity? |
A39566 | that there is now no iniquity at all? |
A39566 | that they were all the children of God by faith in Christ: and how doth he prove it that they were so? |
A39566 | that words are oft used out of their prime significations?) |
A39566 | the Apostles themselves? |
A39566 | the Swine ran into the sea, were they not then in it? |
A39566 | the duty and ordinance of baptism? |
A39566 | the first Gospel ministry bap ● ized, were in immediately before they baptized them? |
A39566 | the visible church of Christ or the visible kingdome of the devil believers infants are visibly in before baptism? |
A39566 | the way of faith? |
A39566 | then Sirs why do you not keep close to your command, and by Analogy baptize precisely on the eighth day, but on any other as you see good? |
A39566 | then pray how doth the promise of the Gospel appear to belong one jot more to believers children, then to unbelievers? |
A39566 | therefore is it not rather think you a Civil and Matrimonial then an Ecclesiastical,& faederall sanctity? |
A39566 | therefore why should we not sorrow as those without hope? |
A39566 | they are the children of believers? |
A39566 | they went down both of them unto the water, both Philip and the Eunuch? |
A39566 | till they visibly appear to have them, yet under the Law they were in covenant, and inchurched for all that and why? |
A39566 | to come out of Babilon, and be separate? |
A39566 | to testifie to the world that they had faith? |
A39566 | to the Jaylor asking Sirs what must I do to be saved? |
A39566 | to the parents upon their own faith, to the children upon the parents faith? |
A39566 | to what purpose doth he with such prolixity proceed to prove, what no sober minded man of either party doth deny? |

A39566 | why even this, if the whole kingdom be the Lords, then infants must unavoidably be members of Christs Church, and if we ask how comes this about? |
A39566 | why more ad negationem baptismi? |
A39566 | why taught in order to the receiving it? |
A39566 | why then do you say sometimes again, that from a holiness which is in both they are co- contributers of holiness to the Infant? |
A39566 | why then not exempted from that for the sake of their incapacity, as well as from other things? |
A39566 | why then( if that be the ground you will needs go upon) must not these be baptized as well as the other? |
A39566 | why they circumcised infants, and why you baptize them? |
A39566 | will it follow that we must follow their fashion in that particular? |
A39566 | will it not appear much more plainly then, that infants are not capable to be made disciples? |
A39566 | will it therefore follow that it is to be omitted, and not made use of at all? |
A39566 | will they fortify themselves against our Orthodox Divines? |
A39566 | will they make an end in a day to reform, which is many a years work for a learned Synod? |
A39566 | will they revive the stones, even the dead bones of old Hereticks, out of the heaps of rubbish that are burnt? |
A39566 | will they sacrifice without a Priest among them? |
A39566 | will you alwaies affirm things so to be, and venture to make them known, and yet confess they can not be known too? |
A39566 | will you bind him to all the infants in Christendome, and barr him from doing any other infants in the world? |
A39566 | will you gather Churches of Christ out of Churches of Christ what rule have you for that? |
A39566 | wilt thou be baptized& c? |
A39566 | would not this grate harshly upon charitable ears? |
A39566 | would the water come up to them in the Chariot any sooner for sprinkling then for dipping? |
A39566 | would the water have come up to them in the chariot any sooner for sprinkling then for dipping? |
A39566 | yea is not preaching an administration to every creature that extends not to infants? |
A39566 | yea who so blind as those that seem to themselves to be the onely Seers both for themselves and others? |
A39566 | yea, when he asks who hath required this at your hands? |
A39566 | yes no doubt, why then were they not broken off before? |
A39566 | yet is it reckoned by you exclusive of infants, and why not Philips also? |
A39566 | you know your people are not all in the faith, why else do you preach to them as prophane to the end you may convert them thereunto? |
A39566 | your trivial new way, or rather no way of baptism? |
A39566 | your very selves acknowledge you can not: if not, why more I wonder ad negationem spiritus? |
