A67763 | So you have my Apology; or if you shall further ask why I take this pains? |
A67763 | The un- worthy think still, Who am I not? |
A67763 | Their language is give; and the theeves is but deliver: now what is the difference, betwixt give, and deliver? |
A67763 | To which accords that of the Oracle: The Sibarites desirous to know from Apollo, how long their prosperity should last? |
A67763 | Was not vice countenanced, aud vertue discouraged? |
A67763 | What an heaven lives a Scholar in? |
A67763 | What is it to flourish for a time, and perish for ever? |
A67763 | What shall become of him, that takes away other mens? |
A67763 | What stability is there then, in earthly greatness? |
A67763 | What then will a godly consciencious Christian say? |
A67763 | What were it to have a purple coat, and a polluted conscience? |
A67763 | What will all those goodly Titles of Majesty, and other priviledges avail them? |
A67763 | What''s the matter? |
A67763 | Who but Adrianus, Emperour of the East, for many yeers? |
A67763 | Who can be weary? |
A67763 | Yea, I can wonder at nothing more, then how a Scholar can be idle, or dumpish? |
A67763 | Yea, have not you found it so? |
A67763 | Yea, if I may be so bold, were they not Heads under which the whole body groaned? |
A67763 | Yea, what can a Magistrate do acceptable to the good; but lewd men will misinterpret it? |
A67763 | Yet, Who am I, sayes he? |
A67763 | a Supersedeas to sin, and a Protection against the arrest of judgement? |
A67763 | among all their twelve Tribes? |
A67763 | and chink to bear off the judgements of God, by vertue of their high places? |
A67763 | and in the same manner before specified? |
A67763 | and justle out Gods honour( which should be more deer to Princes then their Crowns and lives) with their own? |
A67763 | if a guilty conscience do but chide them? |
A67763 | if deserving, why should he buy that, which( in justice, piety and true policie) is due unto him? |
A67763 | swarving as much from justice, honesty, and Religion; as a picture does from a man? |
A67763 | the conscience of knowledge? |
A67763 | what event doth not challenge our observation? |
A67772 | An ● how am I served accordingly? |
A67772 | And are they to be endured everlastingly? |
A67772 | And indeed, if the gates of the City be of Pearl, and the streets of Gold; what then are the inner rooms, the dining and lodging chambers? |
A67772 | And now for conclusion: Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious? |
A67772 | And what makes the difference? |
A67772 | And what shall I say more? |
A67772 | And withal lose their part and portion in the Kingdom of Heaven, as the Word of God expresly tells us? |
A67772 | As consider, If a dark dungeon here be so loathsom, what is that dungeon of eternal, of utter darkness? |
A67772 | As tell me, Will not their blood be required at your hands, if they perish through your neglect? |
A67772 | As what says the Apostle? |
A67772 | As, Dost thou desire beauty, riches, honour, pleasure, long life, or whatever else can be named? |
A67772 | As, Who would not obtain Heaven at any rate, at any cost or trouble whatsoever? |
A67772 | But, oh wretched Caitiff that I am; how hath the Devil and my own deceitful and devilish heart deluded me? |
A67772 | Christ our Redeemer and Elder- brother? |
A67772 | Dance hoodwinkt into this perdition? |
A67772 | Do we delight in good company? |
A67772 | Do you ask what Heaven is? |
A67772 | FIrst, Is it so, that the torments of Hell are so exquisite? |
A67772 | For as St. Paul tells us, The heart of man is not able to conceive those joyes; which being so, How should I be able to express them in words? |
A67772 | For if the brightness of the body shall match the Sun, what will the glory and splendour of the soul be? |
A67772 | For this incorruptible Crown of Glory in Heaven? |
A67772 | Fourthly, Is it so? |
A67772 | Hath Christ done so much for us, and shall we deny him any thing he requireth of us? |
A67772 | He who brings even idle words to judgment, and forgets not a thought of disobedience, how will he spare our gross negligence and presumption? |
A67772 | Hearken we unto Christs voice, in all that he saith unto us, without being swayed one way or another, as the most are? |
A67772 | Hell in Scripture is called a Lake, that burneth with fire and brimstone; and, than the torment of the former, what more acute? |
A67772 | How does this hang together? |
A67772 | How glorious and wonderful is the Maker thereof, and the City where he keeps his Court? |
A67772 | How is it that we are not more affected therewith? |
A67772 | How sweet then shall our knowledge in heaven be? |
A67772 | How then should we admire the love and bounty of God, and bless his Name, who for the performance of so small a work, hath proposed so great a Reward? |
A67772 | How will it end? |
A67772 | How wouldst thou toss and tumble, and turn from one side to another? |
A67772 | If material fire be so terrible, what is Hell- fire? |
A67772 | If the earnest penny be so precious and promising here; What shall the principal, and full crop and harvest of happiness in Heaven be? |
A67772 | If then the beginning and first fruits of it be so sweet, what shall the fulness of that beatifical Vision of God be? |
A67772 | In whom there is nothing but amiable, comfortable, delectable? |
A67772 | It will put thee to a demur, What have I done? |
A67772 | Now consider, Is one hours twitche of the worm of conscience here? |
A67772 | Now what heart would not bleed, to see men run headlong into those tortures that are thus intolerable? |
A67772 | Oh that men would believe the God of truth( that can not lye) touching spiritual and eternal things, but as they do these temporary and transitory? |
A67772 | Or in case we have peace of conscience, alas, how often is it interrupted with anguish of spirit? |
A67772 | Or that light from whence it receives its light? |
A67772 | SEcondly, Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious? |
A67772 | The Angels and Saints our Comforts and Companions? |
A67772 | The holy Ghost our Comforter? |
A67772 | Then wilt thou say, O that I had been more wise, or that I were now to begin my life again; then would I contemn the world with all its vanities? |
A67772 | What am I now aabout? |
A67772 | What is a thousand years? |
A67772 | What is eternity of hell torments? |
A67772 | What little enough to do, to obtain eternity? |
A67772 | What pleasure shall we take in the company of Saints and Angels? |
A67772 | What then can be more equal, then that thou shouldst suffer everlastingly? |
A67772 | What then will it be to lie in flames of fire? |
A67772 | What though it be usual with men, to have no sense of their souls till they must leave their bodies? |
A67772 | What will it be to enjoy the immediate presence, and glory of God our Father? |
A67772 | What''s a Fetter to a Dungeon? |
A67772 | Whether he finds not his joy to be like to the joy of harvest? |
A67772 | Whether will this course tend? |
A67772 | While we are here, how many clouds of discontent have we to darken the Sunshine of our Joy? |
A67772 | Who would not serve a short Apprenticeship in Gods service here, to be made for ever free in glory? |
A67772 | Will it not be sad to have Children and Servants rise up in judgment against you, and to bring in Evidence at the great Tribunal of Christ? |
A67772 | Will not this be sad? |
A67772 | Yea more, is Heaven so unspeakably sweet and delectable, is Hell so unutterably doleful? |
A67772 | Yea, are all these, and all other pains that can be named put together, but shadows and flea- bitings to it? |
A67772 | Yea, how can we be thankful enough for so great a blessing? |
A67772 | Yea, how little, how nothing, are the poor and temporary enjoyments of this life, to those we shall enjoy in the next? |
A67772 | Yea, how oft do those Russians that deny God at the Tap- house, preach him at the Gallows? |
A67772 | Yea, is one minutes twitch of a tooth pulling out so unsufferable? |
A67772 | Yea, what pain can we think too much to suffer? |
A67772 | Yea, who can utter the sweetness of that peace of Conscience, and spiritual rejoycing in God, which himself hath tasted? |
A67772 | Yea, who would not be a Philpot for a month, or a Lazarus for a day, or a Stephen for an hour, that he might be in Abrahams bosome for ever? |
A67772 | a Gallows to Hell- fire? |
A67772 | and confess that in sincerity of heart, which they oppugned in wantonness? |
A67772 | how would it charm their mouths, appall their spirits, strike fear and astonishment into their hearts? |
A67772 | or as men rejoyce when they divide a spoil? |
A67772 | than the smell of the latter, what more noysome? |
A67772 | the presence chamber of the great Monarch of Heaven and Earth? |
A67772 | the torments of Hell so woful and dolorous? |
A67772 | those delights and pleasures, that are reserved for the glorified Saints, and Gods dearest darlings in heaven? |
A67772 | what then may we think of the maker and builder thereof? |
A67781 | 14 and indeed if they are spiritually discerned, how should they descern them that have not the spirit? |
A67781 | 15. to the hardning of many in their Atheism, and Unbelief: For what should hinder? |
A67781 | Again, Fifthly, how does lust blinde and besot men? |
A67781 | Again, If it be asked, Why the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God? |
A67781 | And in another place; Know ye not, that the amity of the world, is the enmity of God? |
A67781 | And what greater folly? |
A67781 | And what is the cause they acknowledg not the same now, but their blindness and folly? |
A67781 | And what is the summa totalis of all but this? |
A67781 | Are not these so many infallible properties of a fool? |
A67781 | As how often is that spent upon one Christmas revelling by the son, which was forty years a getting by the Father? |
A67781 | BUt would these men( any one, even the best of them) thus improve, or imploy their knowledge? |
A67781 | Besides, if these great knowers know so little, how ignorant are the rude rabble, that despise all knowledge? |
A67781 | Briefly, how oft doth wisdom without grace prove like a fair estate in the hands of a sool, which not seldom becomes the owners ruine? |
A67781 | But If you would know how to call them, they are properly subtle persens? |
A67781 | But Sixthly, what can we think of an improvident Gamester? |
A67781 | But how shall a man know, whether he hath this knowledge? |
A67781 | But what can the Prince of darknesse propound? |
A67781 | But why? |
A67781 | Did our Saviour Christ forbear to heal on the Sabbath day, because the Scribes and Pharisees took it ● ll? |
A67781 | Fourthly, what think you of common Idolaters? |
A67781 | How could hee other then thinke, if lust had not blinded and bewitched him? |
A67781 | How did they shake him off in that pittiful distresse, with look thou to it? |
A67781 | How the heat of the stomach, and the strength of the nether chap should be so great? |
A67781 | How the waters should stand upon a heap, and yet not over- flow the earth? |
A67781 | If Idolaters will need set up a false god for the true, is it not equal, that the true God should give them over to the false? |
A67781 | In the last place, Are not all wilfull sinners arrant fools? |
A67781 | Is it not a dear purchase? |
A67781 | Is it not the manner of thousands with us? |
A67781 | Kill the Child in the womb, and never hurt the Mother? |
A67781 | Or do they desire it to any such end? |
A67781 | Or that Germain Clow ●, who under- took to be very ready in the ten Commandments: but being demanded by the Minister which was the first? |
A67781 | Paul a polluter of the Temple? |
A67781 | Seventhly, let me refer it to any rational man, whether the Voluptuous Prodigal is not a stark Fool? |
A67781 | She whose body is mercenary to me, will easily fell me to others? |
A67781 | Steven a destroyer of the Law? |
A67781 | Tell me, wherewith thou mayest be bound to do thee hurt? |
A67781 | That think the vowed enemy of their souls, can offer them a bait without a hook? |
A67781 | They set their mouths against heaven, and are like an unruly Jade, that being full fed kicks at his Master; what course doth the Lord take with them? |
A67781 | Thirdly, are the one regenerate, the other carnall? |
A67781 | To have as expert a tongue, and as quick a memory as Portius; a perfect understanding, great science, profound eloquence, a sweet stile? |
A67781 | To have the force of Demosthenes, the depth of Thesius, the perswasive art of Tully,& c. if withal he wants Grace, and lives remissely? |
A67781 | VVhat cause have we then to blesse the giver? |
A67781 | Was it not an a gu ● ● nt that Haman was blinde? |
A67781 | Was not Ahab blinde? |
A67781 | Was not the wisdome of the Serpent turned into a curse? |
A67781 | Was there ever such a motion made to a reasonable man? |
A67781 | We fools thought his life madnesse, and his end to be without honour: How is he now numbred with the children of God, and his lot among the Saints? |
A67781 | Were not the Jews, Scribes& Pharisees blind, who could see more unlawfulness in the Disciples plucking a few ears of Corn on the sabbath- day? |
A67781 | What communion between light and darknesse? |
A67781 | What hath pride profited us? |
A67781 | What is the notional sweetness of Honey, to the experimental taste of it? |
A67781 | What saith Aristotle? |
A67781 | What saith Pharaoh to his deep Counsellors? |
A67781 | What saith our Saviour? |
A67781 | What sayes Aristotle? |
A67781 | When Christ taught in the Temple, they asked, Hovv knovveth this man the Scriptures, seeing he never learned them? |
A67781 | Who would not have spurned such a sutor out of doors? |
A67781 | Why a flash of lightening should melt the sword without making any impression in the scabbard? |
A67781 | Why is this cast away, saith Iudas? |
A67781 | Why the Loadstone should draw iron, or incline to the pole- star? |
A67781 | Why the clouds above being heavie with water, should not fall to the earth suddenly, seeing every heavy thing descendeth? |
A67781 | Will the Merchant be discouraged because his wine pleaseth not a sicke mans palate? |
A67781 | With the Astronomer, to observe the motions of the heavens; while his heart is buried in the earth? |
A67781 | With the Historian, to know what others have done, and how they have sped; while he neglecteth the imitation of such, as are gone the right way? |
A67781 | With the Law- maker, to set down many Lawes in particular, and not to remember the common Law of nature, or Law general that all must die? |
A67781 | Yea, how little was Judas set by of the High Priests, when once he had served their turn? |
A67781 | Yea, how severely will they censure, not only things indifferent, but the most holy and approved good duties in the godly? |
A67781 | Yea, what a deale of paines and care does the covetous man take for his own damnation? |
A67781 | Yea, when it was said of Phocian and Demosthenes, that they could never agree; it was answered, No, how should they? |
A67781 | Yea, will they not more deeply censure our serving of God, then their own blaspheming of him? |
A67781 | an ill penni- worth? |
A67781 | and be themselves the greatest of sinners, then our Saviour to be in company with sinners? |
A67781 | and the Palsie man''s carrying his bed; then in their own devouring of Widows houses? |
A67781 | are not they arrant fools? |
A67781 | but they are grosly mistaken: for wherein does this their great wisdom consist? |
A67781 | could not Paul shew as much cunning as Tertullus? |
A67781 | is not he a Fool? |
A67781 | not that there is a deficiency of power in the godly, but will: for could not David go as far as Achitophel? |
A67781 | or what good hath our riches and our vaunting brought us? |
A67781 | the one Christs friends, the other his enemies? |
A67781 | the one children of light, and of the day, the other blinde and in darknesse? |
A67781 | the one of this world, the other chosen out of it? |
A67781 | the wisdome of Achitophel into folly? |
A67781 | the wisdome of Jezabel, into a shameful death? |
A67781 | the wisdome of Nimrod into confusion? |
A67781 | the wisdome of the Pharisees into a woe? |
A67781 | the wisdome of the unjust Steward into expulsion out of Heaven? |
A67781 | this divine and supernatural wisdom? |
A67781 | to have the theory,& be able to prattle of wisdom by rote; yet not know what it is by effect and experience? |
A67781 | to search out the cause of many effects, and let pass the consideration of the principal, and most necessary? |
A67781 | what peace between the Believer and the Infidel? |
A67781 | who Adam- like, will receive what- ever comes, or is offered them? |
A67781 | who thought Mordecaies not bowing the knee to hi ●, a more heinous offence, then his own murthering of thousands? |
A67781 | who thought they might better murther Christ, then others believe in him? |
A38031 | 1 How can Satan( saith he) cast out Satan? |
A38031 | 34. our Saviour refers to the very Words of the Psalmist, saying, Is it not written in your Law, I have said, Ye are Gods? |

A38031 | An Answer to Pilate''s Question, What is Truth? |
A38031 | An Answer to Pilate''s Question, What is Truth? |
A38031 | An answer to Pilate''s question, what is truth? |
A38031 | And again, Why take ye thought for Rayment? |
A38031 | And how joyful a Reflection must this needs be, that the Vertuous Acts of so many Persons are esteem''d as his own? |
A38031 | And if some of them can not or will not pay for their Bravery, how can it be expected, that those who are in Want should partake of their Alms? |
A38031 | And is it not a shame that we should learn of them how to behave our selves? |
A38031 | And that their Bodies may not be disproportionable to their Apparel, what cost are they at to repair and beautifie those houses of clay? |
A38031 | And then who will give heed to men of this cross- grain''d temper? |
A38031 | And what City like Tyrus now for its sudden but inevitable Calamity? |
A38031 | And what hinders now, that we should not make the like Deductions with reference to those Higher matters, which I before mention''d? |
A38031 | And what is the Reason? |
A38031 | And what though herein we tread in the Steps of the present Pope? |
A38031 | Are all your Ensigns of Authority, and Badges of Honour meer Pageantry? |
A38031 | Are the Works of God''s Providence unsearchable, and is not He himself so? |

A38031 | Are we not on every side beset with Mistakes and False Notions? |
A38031 | Art thou not ashamed, when Nature hath made thee a Man, to make they self a Woman? |
A38031 | As that Egyptian( in † Plutarch) answer''d the men, who ask''d him, What it was that he carried so close Covered? |
A38031 | Besides, how often doth it happen that the Covetous and Ravenous Desires of Worldly Men are blasted by the just Judgment of God? |
A38031 | But I rather think that Pilate ask''d This Question in Contempt and Derision, I pray, Sir, What is the Right Definition of Truth? |
A38031 | But among them all there was none certainly that was in it self more Substantial and Useful than this, What is Truth? |
A38031 | But an Other Question then will arise, How shall we come to the Knowledg of the Truth? |
A38031 | But how can he punish Offences that commits them? |
A38031 | But if they will call their Anti- Scriptural Notions by the name of Reason, who can help it? |
A38031 | But is not this repugnant to the Prohibition of St. Paul in the Text, That Women should not adorn themselves with Gold or Pearls, or costly Aray? |

A38031 | Can those Forces prosper which are led forth against the Enemy with Oaths and Curses in their mouths? |
A38031 | Can you perswade your selves, that this Vanity and Pride become True Worshippers? |
A38031 | Do not our own Reason, Necessity, and the Cause it self require that we maintain an entire Concord? |
A38031 | Do not these tell you that as you are Distinguish''d from other Persons, so you ought to Excel and Surpass them? |
A38031 | Do they agree together against us, and shall not we do so against them? |

A38031 | Do you look like those that are offering your Petitions to the Almighty, and come hither to attend to his Voice? |
A38031 | Do you pretend to understand the Exact Notion of it? |
A38031 | For are not the Rules and Standards of Truth Easy and Intelligible? |
A38031 | For here I may say as our Saviour in another Case,* Are not ye much better than they? |
A38031 | For, do you think that you are to differ from others in Honour, and not in those things likewise which are of an higher Nature? |
A38031 | France lifts up its Bloody Weapons against us; and shall we at such a time Fight with one another? |
A38031 | God was not pleased to deliver all things with equal Evidence; and why then should we undertake to make every Thing Plain and Demonstrable? |
A38031 | God''s Decree, and Man''s Freedom, they will ask, How this can be? |

A38031 | If the Socinians are not concern''d to answer the Difficulties about the former, what is the reason that they startle at the latter? |
A38031 | If the Will must be check''d, why must the Intellect be left uncontroulable? |
A38031 | If the nature of a Groveling Plant confounds us, how shall we be able to solve all the difficult Problems in Christianity? |
A38031 | If the † Iudgments of God are unsearchable, and his ways past finding out, is there not cause to believe, that God''s Nature and Essence are so too? |
A38031 | If they acknowledge that God acts many things which are above their understandings, why should they not own him to be what they can not comprehend? |
A38031 | If they are content to surrender this to the Divine Will, why are they against subjecting the other to the Divine Ligh ● and Discoveries? |

A67743 | And indeed, Who should goe to Hell, if cursers should be left out? |
A67743 | And indeed, how should they, when every word they speake is a slander? |
A67743 | And indeed, what is the corporal sympathy to the spiritual antipathy? |
A67743 | And indeed, whom not heroicall in fortitude( the case standing as it doth) would it not discourage and beat back to the world? |
A67743 | And is it not iust with God, to say, they would none of Christ, let them welcome Sathan and Antichrist? |

A67743 | Nay( if I may speak it with reverence) what meanes can God use that shall be able to convert such an one? |

A67743 | Yea, have you not strange conceits, and base thoughts of the best men? |
A67743 | Yea, if the feare of the Lord, as Solomon speakes, is the beginning of wisdome, how should they have wisdome, that have not the feare of the Lord? |
A67743 | Yea, who was his greatest enemy but his greatest friend, even one of his houshold- Chaplains? |
A67743 | Yes: for how is a vicious person discredited, and made contemptible, by the vertuous life of an holy man? |

A67778 | And lastly, shall our momentany sufferings be rewarded with everlasting glory? |
A67778 | And may not this comfort thee? |
A67778 | And see what cause he had so to say; what were these Arrows? |

A67778 | Ask not( saith Salvianus) why one is greater, another less; one wretched, another happy? |
A67778 | Besides, without some kinde of suffering, how shall your sincerity be approved? |
A67778 | But all the evill thou doest to the godly, is with thy tongue? |
A67778 | But how in this case? |
A67778 | But may some say, Can any good come out of such a Nazarite? |
A67778 | But tell me, hath not this roaring Lion prevailed against thy best part? |
A67778 | But to leave examples; and come to reason: Is it not an evident sign, that if the world hates thee, thou art none of the World? |
A67778 | But what hath been the answer of GOD alwaies to his children, in such their extasies, but this? |
A67778 | But what''s the reason? |
A67778 | But when will there bee an end of this long disease? |
A67778 | But who can measure thy goodnesse, who givest all, and forgivest all? |
A67778 | But why dost thou not altogether believe, that it is a blessed and happie thing thus to suffer? |
A67778 | Can not our enemies diminish one hair of our heads, without God''s special leave and appointment? |
A67778 | Did God and Belial joyn in fu filling the same act? |
A67778 | Did ever any sinner implore the forgiveness of his sins, which did not receiv full remission and pardon? |
A67778 | Did hee not without the Sun at the Creation, cause light to shine forth; and without rain, at the same time, make the earth fruitfull? |
A67778 | Did it ever repent Jacob, when hee came to inherit his Fathers blessing, that hee had indured a long exile, and tedious bondage? |
A67778 | Did not hee first descend into Hel, and then had his ascension? |
A67778 | Did not the sick ever receive their health? |
A67778 | Dost thou determine to continue in the practice of any one sin? |
A67778 | Dost thou not love rather to bee, than seem or bee thought good; and seek more the power of godliness, than the shew of it? |
A67778 | Doth Satan merit thanks? |
A67778 | Doth he make bloody wayls on the backs of his Children? |
A67778 | Doth not God onely gain glory by our sufferings? |
A67778 | Doth the rain and waters, or any other creature displease you? |
A67778 | For consider, doth the Lord say hee will extend his mercie unto all that come unto him? |
A67778 | For, what can be spoken more expresse, direct, and significant? |
A67778 | God used the malice of Pharaoh and Shimei unto good; what then? |
A67778 | Hast thou but thoughts and desires, and canst thou onely express them with sighs and groans? |
A67778 | Hast thou kept thy head whole? |
A67778 | Hath he promised that we shall not be tempted above our strength? |
A67778 | Hath this Lion yielded thee any Honey of Instruction, or Reformation? |
A67778 | Hath thy sin died with thy fame, or with thy health, or with thy peace, or with thy outward estate? |
A67778 | Heaven it self shall power down the food of Angels; have they no meat to their bread? |
A67778 | Hee sends his Serjeant 〈 ◊ 〉 arrest thee for thy debt; commands thee and all thou hast to bee 〈 ◊ 〉 But why? |
A67778 | Hee would have all men saved, and thou comest in with thy exceptive, All but mee; Why thee? |
A67778 | How can we but say, Let the World frown, and all things in it run cross to the grain of our mindes? |
A67778 | How is that? |
A67778 | How many? |
A67778 | How opportunely doth God provide succours to our distresses? |
A67778 | How rashly then hast thou judged of thy Makers dealing with thee? |
A67778 | If it bee asked why God reckons so highly of a sew sighs and groans? |
A67778 | If wee bee sick, and the Physician promises to visit us to morrow with his best relief; with what a tedious longing do wee expect his presence? |
A67778 | If you endure chastening, God offereth himself unto you, as unto sons: for what son is it whom the Father chastenith not? |
A67778 | Indeed, it was Pilates brag to Christ, knowest thou not that I have power to crucifie thee? |
A67778 | Is God more specially present with us in afflictions? |
A67778 | Lastly, look upon Lazarus, though Christs bosome friend? |
A67778 | Let him draw near, for I chiefly direct my speech unto him: Are afflictions and persecutions so necessary and profitable, as hath been shewed? |
A67778 | Neither wants hee ca ● … e; hee that numbers our very hairs, what account doth hee make of our souls? |
A67778 | Never were the Jews more to bee pitied, than when their Prophet delivered these words from the Lord, why should yee bee stricken any more? |
A67778 | Nor love, for if hee hath bought us with his blood, and given us himself, will hee deny us any thing that is good for us? |
A67778 | Now Lord it being thus with us, how can we expect that thou shouldest hear our praiers,& grant our requests? |
A67778 | Now if Saul or Doeg be instead of a Pestilence or Feaver; who can cavil? |
A67778 | Now if that bosom wherein we all look to rest, was assaulted with so many sore trials, and so diverse difficulties, is it likely we should escape? |
A67778 | Now instead of being overcome doest thou overcome? |
A67778 | Now the Tenant is more noble then the House; therefore why are we not more joyed in this, then dejected in the other? |
A67778 | Now what Son of Israel can hope for any good daies, when he heats his Fathers were so evill? |
A67778 | Now when so much was uttered, even by a none- such for his patience; what may we think he did feel, and indure? |
A67778 | Now why doth God by his promise tye himself to bee present with us; more especially in affliction? |
A67778 | O fool? |
A67778 | Oh, it is a good change, to have the fire of affliction for the fire of Hell: Who would not rather smart for a while, then for ever? |
A67778 | Or Joseph, when hee was once made Ruler in Egypt, that he had formerly been sold thither and there imprisoned? |
A67778 | Or which of Gods servants did ever repent that they had passed the apprentiship of their service here, and were now gon to be made free in glory? |
A67778 | Or wil hee provide for his Men and Maids, and let his own children starve? |
A67778 | Or, who would nor cast his burthen upon him, that doth desire to give ease? |
A67778 | Scriptures spoken by Christ, and his Apostles? |
A67778 | Shall wee slight all his blessings, because in one thing hee crosseth us, whereas his least mercy is beyond our best merit? |
A67778 | Suppose thy sufferings bee great, what then? |
A67778 | That thou hast great cause to rejoice and be glad that thou art counted worthi to suffer shame for Christs name? |
A67778 | The Lord hath forsaken us; thou hast cast off, and abhorred us: why hast thou forsaken mee& c.? |
A67778 | The Portugals w ● … ll rejoyce in soul weather why? |
A67778 | The lame, their limbes? |
A67778 | The meditation whereof may bee of some use to thee: Thales beeing asked how adversity might best bee born? |
A67778 | Therefore Bazil, when hee was offered money and preferments to tempt him, answered: Can you give me money that can last for ever? |
A67778 | Thou maist think so, but God will not do so; but in the mean time, how can this bee well taken? |
A67778 | Thou wouldest go the naturall Way to work, What shall I do to inherit eternall life? |
A67778 | Thy Praier is heard: When did he make this Praier? |
A67778 | To instance in some examples; Satan did nought touching Job, but what the Lord upon his request gave him leave to do; what then? |
A67778 | True, they appear not ordinarily, what then? |
A67778 | Was Lazarus for a time extream miserable? |
A67778 | Were none of his children ever exempted from the like? |
A67778 | What Fortifications or Bulwarks so strong and safe agaiest the affronts of Satan, and the World? |
A67778 | What demonstrations can be given more sollid? |
A67778 | What end is that? |
A67778 | What if the Lord for a time forbear coming, as Samuel did to Saul; that hee may try what is in thee? |
A67778 | What saith David? |
A67778 | What saith God to his people in their misery? |
A67778 | What shall I say? |
A67778 | What then? |
A67778 | What then? |
A67778 | What then? |
A67778 | What''s the reason? |
A67778 | When did God answer the hopes of Sarah, Rebeccah, Rachel, the wife of Manoah, and Elisabeth, touching their long and much desired issues? |
A67778 | When did Jacob see a Vision of Angels? |
A67778 | When did Moses find succour, but when his Mother could no longer hide him, and hee was put into the River among the Bull- rushes? |
A67778 | When did our Saviour heal the woman of her bloody issue? |
A67778 | When did we talk without vanity? |
A67778 | When had the Children of Israel the greatest victories, but when they feared most to bee overcome? |
A67778 | When was Hagar comforted of the Angell, but when her child was neer fanished, and shee had east it under a Tree for dead? |
A67778 | When was the Sareptan relieved? |
A67778 | Wherefore hast thou but a touch of sorrow for sin, a spark of hope, a grain of faith in thy heart? |
A67778 | Wherefore, as Jehoram said to Jebu, when hee marched furiously; Comest thou peaceably? |
A67778 | Who but Andronic ● … s, Emperour of the East for many years? |
A67778 | Who ever asked any thing of him which was profitable for him to receive, and did not obtain his suit? |
A67778 | Who is hee that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lordcommandeth it not? |
A67778 | Who is so melancholly, as the rich worldling? |
A67778 | Whom are you angry withal? |
A67778 | Whom hast thou blasphemed? |
A67778 | Why doth a Physician give more Wormwood, or Hellebore to this sick party, then to that? |
A67778 | Why should we not hate the Way to Hell, as much as Hell it self? |
A67778 | Why were they so long kept from it? |
A67778 | Will any make choyce of a weak Champion? |
A67778 | Will you take Saint Panls word for it, or rather Gods own word, who is Truth it self, and can not lie? |
A67778 | Worse than Josephs? |
A67778 | Yea, even when they were wandering in a forlorn wilderness, how did God as it were attend upon them in their distress, to supply their wants? |
A67778 | Yea, shall our glory be increased, as our sufferings have been more? |
A67778 | Yea, the onely Son of God came to this, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? |
A67778 | Yet consider, did God forsake either of them? |
A67778 | and all Gods former favours? |
A67778 | and dost thou say, nay, but hee will not extend his mercy unto mee, hee will have mee to perish, because I am a grievous sinner? |
A67778 | and glory that may eternally flourish? |
A67778 | and shall bastards escape? |
A67778 | and what thou wilt do, or suffer for him, that hath done and suffered so much for thee? |
A67778 | and who sings so merry a note, as hee that can not change a groat? |
A67778 | and why the prayers of the faithfull are so powerfull? |
A67778 | and yet they were delivered; Or is thy case worse than that of Jonas in the Sea, yea, in the Whales belly? |
A67778 | and why should we not make every cogitation, speech, and action of ours, as so many steps to Heaven? |
A67778 | are they not besides your will? |
A67778 | are they not contrary to the current of your desires, and the main bent of your resolutions, and indeavours? |
A67778 | are thy sins more and greater? |
A67778 | as what did our Saviour answer, when the people asked him, What shall wee do that wee might work the works of God? |
A67778 | as why did God set Noah about building the Ark an hundred and twenty years, when a small time might have finished it? |
A67778 | but do they also bring us to repentance, and amendment of l ● … fe? |
A67778 | doth hee deal thus with his Sons; what will hee do with his Slaves? |
A67778 | doth hee invite every one? |
A67778 | doth hee say I would have all men saved, and none to perish? |
A67778 | hee performed it for us: were wee for disobedience subject to the sentence of condemnation, the curse of the Law, and death of body and soul? |
A67778 | hee was condemned for us, and bore the curse of the law; hee died in our stead an ignominious death; did wee deserve the anger of God? |
A67778 | if hee do not answer us in every thing; shall wee take pleasure in nothing? |
A67778 | or doth Satan onely tell thee so? |
A67778 | or how great soever they bee? |
A67778 | or how long soever they continue? |
A67778 | shall to- days Ague, make us forget yesterdays health? |
A67778 | than Mary Magdulen, a common strumpet; possest of many Devills? |
A67778 | than Paul, a bloody pers ● … cutor of Christ and his Church? |
A67778 | than the Theef upon the Cross, who had spent his whole life to the last hour in abominable wickedness? |
A67778 | the blind their sight? |
A67778 | this heavie yoake of bondage? |
A67778 | this tedious affliction? |
A67778 | we hear without wearysomness? |
A67778 | when all the evill in a City, coms from the providence of a good God, which can neither bee impotent, nor unme cifull? |
A67778 | when did in himself an indisposition of mind to all good, and an inclination to all evill? |
A67778 | when did we give without hypocrisie? |
A67778 | when did we reprove without anger, or envy? |
A67778 | when did wee bargain without deceit? |
A67778 | when did wee pray without tediousness? |
A67778 | when hee was thrown into a Pit, and left hopeless; or when sold to the Ishmaelitish Merchants, and then cast into prison? |
A67778 | why doth he permit so many, and such notorious crimes? |
A67778 | why doth he punish the innocent, and acquit the peccant? |
A67778 | why is he so severe towards his own; so gentle to others? |
A67778 | why then should you give your self over, where your Physitian doth not? |
A67778 | yea, how can wee look for other at thine hands, then great and grievous, yea, then double damnation? |
A33380 | Aaron and all the High- Preists who succeeded him, were not they? |
A33380 | Abraham, the Father of the Faithful, as the Scripture calls him; was not he Married? |
A33380 | After all that, who can say that our Fathers could yet with any shadow of Reason hope for a Reformation on the part of the Popes and the Prelats? |
A33380 | And as for the rest, whether Stephen had in effect Excommunicated Saint Cyprian, or whether he had meerly threatned it, what is that to our Question? |
A33380 | And does not the History of Job introduce him as appearing before the Throne of God, to render the Piety of that Holy- man suspected? |
A33380 | And has not the sixth General Council condemned Pope Honorius as a Monothelite Heretick, with Sergius Patriaerch of Constantinople, and some others? |
A33380 | And if they did it without any right, and against their duty, into what Labyrinths we cast you? |
A33380 | And in how many points does not the Church of Rome find it self to differ at this day from them? |
A33380 | And might not the same thing fall out according to the pleasure and interest that the Pastors might take to see them establish''t? |
A33380 | And upon another occasion, Lord to whom shall we go? |
A33380 | And why ought they not? |
A33380 | And with what Conscience can men remain therein? |
A33380 | And yet how many Inconveniences are there that arise from all those things? |
A33380 | Are there no Jews, nor Pagans, nor Mahometans? |
A33380 | Are there no Profane or Atheistical persons in the World? |
A33380 | Are they Ministers of Jesus Christ? |
A33380 | At the Resurrection then, when men shall arise every one in his own order, what place do you imagine those men will find? |
A33380 | Besides, how do we come to believe there is a God? |
A33380 | But can they answer nothing to these last Reflexions that I have made? |
A33380 | But do not those Merchants pray to God in the form of their Religion, in what Countreys, and with what design soever they are? |
A33380 | But had they any Right to Labour in the Reforming of others? |
A33380 | But he has Taught us nothing of the like Power concerning the Pope and his Councils, he has not said, Who are you that contend against Rome? |
A33380 | But how can any be fully assured that it may not be so at present, otherwise then by the examining of her Doctrine? |
A33380 | But how can he be assur''d of that? |
A33380 | But how can those people have that certainty? |
A33380 | But how can, say they yet further, those good men preserve themselves in the midst of such a Society? |
A33380 | But is it not a very amazing thing, to see a people separate from the Body of those who possess the Offices of the Church? |
A33380 | But say they, Is the Ministry which you have that Antient and perpetual Ministry, that Jesus Christ has established in his Church, or is it a new one? |
A33380 | But their Curate and their Bishop may be mistaken, shall it be then from the Words of the Pope pronounc''d ex Cathedra? |
A33380 | But they will say, Are not you your self guilty of Fallacy, in perpetually supposing, as you do in this dispute, that you have Right at the Bottom? |
A33380 | But they will say, How can it be that Lay- men should make Ecclesiastical persons, and confer a power and an Authority which they have not themselves? |
A33380 | But they will say, How can they be forsaken, without resisting God himself, who has subjected them to them? |
A33380 | But they will say, may not a Church fall into that Condition, and yet for all that be a true Church? |
A33380 | But what Order can they hold in their Assemblies, since they have none to direct them Externally? |
A33380 | But what assurance have we of such a Miracle, or what promise can we find of it in the Scripture? |
A33380 | But what can they do in those Assemblies? |
A33380 | But what does the Name signify? |
A33380 | But what will you say he understands by that Church? |
A33380 | But when he is not, as the Senate of Zurich evidently was not, ought he to abandon all care of the Churches of his State? |
A33380 | But when was it that they might not have seen them appear? |
A33380 | But wherefore then would these Gentlemen have the People to read their Translation, since they are only private Doctors, and not the Church? |
A33380 | But who sees not, that this is precisely to acknowledge the right of that Separation, about which the question at present is? |
A33380 | But who shall tell them what that Universal Consent is? |
A33380 | But why do we use Arguments in a matter, in which experience has sufficiently instructed us? |
A33380 | But, say they, Is not this to introduce a private spirit into the Church, where we all ought to have but one same spirit, which is that of the Church? |
A33380 | But, say they, yet farther, Do you not believe that the Latin Prelates have a more clear light than you? |
A33380 | But, without going so far, is it not true that when Jesus Christ came into the World, he did not find a pure Church upon Earth? |
A33380 | Can he deny that the Priests did not heretofore ordain, as well as the Bishops? |
A33380 | Can they deny that our Kings have not often done the same in their Kingdome? |
A33380 | Could any one have more clearly contradicted the Author of the Prejudices? |
A33380 | Could they have alleadged the Miracles of Jesus and his Apostles? |
A33380 | Could they have complained of the Disorders and Corruptions that then reigned in the Jewish Church? |
A33380 | Could they have said that Jesus Christ and his Apostles had an extraordinary Call? |
A33380 | Could they have said that they had known out of the Scripture, out of Moses and the Prophets, that Jesus was the true Messiah? |
A33380 | Did not all that give a fair hope of a Reformation? |
A33380 | Did they not in that, sin against that respect which they owed to their Prelats, and that Charity which they owed to their Brethren? |
A33380 | Do not you know that we have all the Laws shut up within our own Breast? |
A33380 | Do you demand Miracles? |
A33380 | Do you require Temporal Prosperity? |
A33380 | Does not he know how to exaggerate our sins, and strongly to oppose our vain Excuses? |
A33380 | For I pray tell me what could any one have done better? |
A33380 | For he who sayes, Is it because we hold and follow that Doctrine? |
A33380 | For how can any man rationally determine himself, upon a point of that weight, without consulting the first and the most Antient piece of Tradition? |
A33380 | For how could they otherwise discern those Miracles of the false Prophets, but by examining their words? |
A33380 | For she has a Soveraign Authority over the Faith of her Children, a priviledge, that she can never err, and promises of a perpetual visibility? |
A33380 | For they demand of us whether it was Ordinary or Extraordinary? |
A33380 | For what could they have said, to which those others might not immediately have repli''d by the meer application of that Principle? |
A33380 | For what were all those things but just consequences of that Principle? |
A33380 | For what will they say to the Schisms that fell out so frequently in the Latin Church through the concurrence of Anti- Popes? |
A33380 | For who knows not what the ninth, tenth, and eleventh Centuries were, not to speak of those that followed them? |
A33380 | For why should he punish those who submitted themselves to their guides, whom they could do no otherwise, then obey? |
A33380 | For why should not every Society have right to say the same thing? |
A33380 | Had not God his Prophets and his Altars yet among them? |
A33380 | Had they not all their Guides, their Priests, those that offered up their Sacrifices, and their high Priests? |
A33380 | Has not the Potter of the Earth power out of one and the same clay to make one Vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? |
A33380 | Have they a Revelation, an immediate Illumination that instructs them? |
A33380 | How can you be the same Church? |
A33380 | How can your Ministers be Successours to those who were at that time Bishops, Arch- Bishops, Cardinals, Patriarchs, and Popes? |
A33380 | How could a people that ought themselves to undo the false prepossessions, with which they had been imbued, serve for the Rule of a Reformation? |
A33380 | How could any know those Impostors and those Hypocrites, who come in Sheeps cloathing but inwardly are ravening Wolves? |
A33380 | How could it be possible, that during such gloomy times, Religion, Faith and Worship, should be preserved without any alteration? |
A33380 | How many of our Judges are there, who Judge us every day, without our finding any inconvenience or ill in it? |
A33380 | How many times is that Obedience, that Respect and that Submission recommended to Children to give to their Fathers, in the Scriptures? |
A33380 | How then are the Actions of the Ministry necessary? |
A33380 | How then ought we to be Christians? |
A33380 | How then, can any one say the True Church is always Visible, and always discernable to all men? |
A33380 | I see it, but who told him, That they did it by vertue of a general Law that forbad Bishops to be Married? |
A33380 | If any demand of us what is that perpetual Voice that we ascribe to them? |
A33380 | If he said to him, Feed my sheep, did he not say to all in common, Go, and teach all Nations? |
A33380 | If he said to him, Strengthen thy Brethren, is it not a common duty, not only to the Apostles, but to all the Faithful? |
A33380 | If then they have called the Father of the Family Beelzebub, what will they not say of his Servants? |
A33380 | If you look on those of Berea as being yet Jews, had they not their ordinary Pastors who had before condemned Jesus Christ, and all his Doctrine? |
A33380 | If, say they, it be possible for the Church to err, why do we call it holy, as we do in the Creed; I believe the Holy Catholick Church? |
A33380 | Indeed into what errours and superstitions did not those Churches fall? |
A33380 | Is it a Negative or a Positive Worship? |
A33380 | Is it because that the Church has bid us do so? |
A33380 | Is it because the Church tells us so? |
A33380 | Is it because they have recommended those Books to posterity? |
A33380 | Is it because those Americans before these last Ages were not men, or is it because they were not bound to work out their own Salvation? |
A33380 | Is it because we hold and follow that Doctrine? |
A33380 | Is it necessary then that we should doubt whether there be a God or not? |
A33380 | Is it not written, That the New Jerusalem has twelve foundations, wherein the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb are written? |
A33380 | Is it simply a customary Worship, which consists in making use of those representations to excite their Piety, by the remembrance of things past? |
A33380 | Is it that the Scripture in that ascribes to their Fathers an Infallibility? |
A33380 | Is it that the same that they give to those they represent, should be communicated to the Image as well as the Original? |
A33380 | Is it therefore after that manner that he would have us believe Transubstantiation, the Real presence, Purgatory, The Sacrifice of the Mass? |
A33380 | Is it, sayes he, that the Traditors have composed Books, to shew, that we ought to do, or imitate their action? |
A33380 | Is it, that their Christianity was from the beginning, different from that of the Latin''s? |
A33380 | Is not the Devil called in Scripture, The Accuser of the Faithful? |
A33380 | Is not this to condemn that which the Scripture praises? |
A33380 | Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve Patriarchs who founded the Church of Israel, were not they? |
A33380 | It is not very natural that those sorts of pretences should come in to the succours of a burthened Conscience? |
A33380 | It is therefore this Church of which he means to speak? |
A33380 | May he not err in approving those things which he ought not to approve, and in taking for Infallible a Council, which was really deceived? |
A33380 | May not the Devil speak Truths in Accusing us? |
A33380 | Moses the deliverer of the Antient People, by whom God gave his Law, and by whom he had wrought so many Miracles, was not he? |
A33380 | Must Injustice needs Triumph over Justice, and Error over Truth? |
A33380 | Must we learn it from that Tradition it self? |
A33380 | Must we never be certain, because our Eyes deceive us somtimes, and because we are not Infallible? |
A33380 | My Tears have been my meat Day and Night, while they say unto me, Where is now thy God? |
A33380 | Or to speak better, was there nothing that could any ways stagger them, or hold the minds of all honest men in suspence, for so much as one moment? |
A33380 | Pelagius his Successor received his Ordination at the hands of two Bishops and a Priest of Ostia named Andrew? |
A33380 | Quid si novella aliqua contagio non jam portiunculam, sed totam pariter Ecclesiam commaculare conetur? |
A33380 | Saint Paul has said indeed, Who art thou O man that repliest against God? |
A33380 | Shall it be the Scripture that must give Testimony to that Tradition? |
A33380 | Shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
A33380 | Should they have it from the Scripture? |
A33380 | Should we then have nothing of certainty in that matter? |
A33380 | Since immediately after he adds, Is it that the Traditors have instituted some new Sacraments, or some new Baptism? |
A33380 | Suppose we, that we ought to Judge of a Reformation by the persons that make it, what may not be said against this here? |
A33380 | Tell me I pray yet once more, whether the Jew had not had some Reason of his side? |
A33380 | Tell me I pray, whether that discourse would have been very proper for the Conversion of that Jew? |
A33380 | Tell us what means of Unity would you have beyond that, to hinder men from dividing themselves? |
A33380 | That he said to him alone, When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren, because that he alone had given a sad experience of humane weakness? |
A33380 | That there is none that could say to him, why dost thou do that? |
A33380 | Therefore God said to the wicked in Isaiah, When you come to appear- before me, who has required this at your hands to tread my Courts? |
A33380 | They demand of us who our Reformers were? |
A33380 | This Du Prat, was he not as great a Prelate, as a S. Hilary of Poictiers, a S. Martin of Tours, a S. German of Auxerre, and as a S. Lupus of Troye? |
A33380 | To what purpose are all these goings about? |
A33380 | To whom should we go? |
A33380 | Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in the name of Paul? |
A33380 | Was there any thing in the World of greater concernment then those things which I have set down? |
A33380 | Were they not all united in one Religious Society? |
A33380 | What Bishop have we now a days that Preaches, or has any care of the Souls committed to him? |
A33380 | What Bishop is there, adds he, who does not more love to be a rich Lord and Honoured in the World, then to help the poor? |
A33380 | What can any find to blame in all that? |
A33380 | What can be said, more weighty? |
A33380 | What can the Author of the Prejudices say to defend himself from this Manifest Contradiction which he discovers between him and his Colleague? |

A33380 | What could our Fathers say to those strange Declarations of some Popes? |
A33380 | What could our Fathers think of such a dreadful confusion, which they knew not how to undo, unless by supposing a perpetual Miracle? |
A33380 | What does he then desire I should do? |
A33380 | What does that signifie? |
A33380 | What is it that the Author of the Prejudices can blame in that Conduct? |
A33380 | What is there extraordinary in all that? |
A33380 | What is there here that may deserve any blame? |
A33380 | What is there in Heaven above an Angel? |
A33380 | What is there in all that, that may not be the Motion of a good Conscience? |
A33380 | What is there in the Church beyond an Anathema? |
A33380 | What means the Apostle, sayes he, by these words, lest Satan should get an advantage over us, for we are not ignorant of his devices? |
A33380 | What might not those unbelievers have said against those who were Converted? |
A33380 | What need we to do more to set down this truth in its full evidence, and to give the Author of the Prejudices entire satisfaction? |
A33380 | What ought we to do, sayes he, when some new contagion endeavours to infect not one part only, but the whole Body of the Church in general? |
A33380 | What principle of Unity would they give us, to settle all in the same thoughts, in that search which they should make of the true Church? |
A33380 | What remains but that the Man of sin, the Son of Perdition should be Revealed? |

A33380 | What will become of the blind who know not how to Read? |
A33380 | What will become of those who do not understand so much as any of the Languages into the which the Bible is Translated? |
A33380 | What will become of those who have no understanding, nor any readiness of mind? |
A33380 | What will the Authour of the Prejudices answer to them? |
A33380 | What would become of the Christian Church, what would become of you your selves? |
A33380 | Whence therefore shall we know what this Church is? |
A33380 | Where is the place where Jesus Christ should dwell? |
A33380 | Where now a dayes shall we find a Church that worships Jesus Christ with liberty? |

A33380 | Wherefore did S. Paul say to them; Is Christ divided? |
A33380 | Wherefore did they disturb the publick peace by their Tumults? |
A33380 | Wherefore then had they recourse to the Scriptures? |
A33380 | Whether he believes that their Assemblies were Unlawfull? |
A33380 | Whether he believes that they had done better to have remained in the same Communion with Hereticks, then in withdrawing from them? |
A33380 | Who can assure us that they were not sometimes deceived in taking for the general Belief or Practise of the Church, those things which were not so? |
A33380 | Who can deny that an Excommunication contrary to the Glory of God, to the good of the Church, and to the Salvation of men, should not not be Null? |
A33380 | Who can deny that such a man holds the Truth under a General Idea? |

A33380 | Who can doubt, but that these things well known and well practised, as we have laid them down, are not sufficient to the Salvation of the most simple? |
A33380 | Who can read without some Commotion, that which Innocent the Third has wrote? |
A33380 | Who can say Justly in so great a Confusion, which this is Apostolical, and this is not so? |
A33380 | Who can warrant that the many Books that are lost were not in very many points contrary to those that are extant? |
A33380 | Who is it that sees not what a great prejudice this was against a Religion that taught such things, and so solemnly enjoyned them to be practised? |
A33380 | Who sees not that that Infallibility, comes not in at all to the purpose in that close of the Discourse? |
A33380 | Who sees not the absurdity of this answer? |
A33380 | Who shall secure us that the Lain Church herself does not deceeive her self in the discerning that she makes of the Tenets of Religion? |
A33380 | Why did not they trust them, why did they yet farther compare their words with the Scripture? |
A33380 | Why did the Apostles sollicit the Jews to embrace their Doctrine, when they could not so much as hear them without being criminal? |
A33380 | Why did they divulge by their out- cries the Judgment which they made of the Tenets and Customs of their Church? |

A33380 | Will he say, that the Scripture is in truth a good means for the Instruction of men; but that it is so, only with the Interpretations of the Fathers? |
A33380 | Will they charge their Writing and their Letters to the people with Forgeries and Subornations? |
A33380 | Will they go to seek it in the Practises and Customs of the People? |
A33380 | Will they justifie their being Deposed, their Banishments, the Persecutions which they so constantly suffered? |
A33380 | Will they look for it then from the voice of their Curate, or from that of their Bishop? |
A33380 | Will they say that all those Reformers wrought miracles, to Authorise their Calls? |
A33380 | Will they say, that they were the Ecclesiasties themselves who laboured in those Reformations? |
A33380 | With what Conscience can they decide the points of the Faith, and propose them to be believed as points of a Divine Faith? |
A33380 | With what Conscience can they retain men in their Dependance? |
A33380 | With what Conscience therefore can they exercise their Authority? |
A33380 | Would it not be very unjust to bind men under so great a penalty to consent to things that are uncertain, and which may be false? |
A33380 | Would you have Magnificence? |
A33380 | Would you have Unity? |
A33380 | Would you have the consent of many people? |
A33380 | Would you seek for Antiquity? |
A33380 | and what Call they had for so Great a Work? |
A33380 | and whether that Maxim of the Authour of Prejudices is not far more destructive of the Interests of Christianity than can be easily conceived? |
A33380 | by what Spirit they would have every one know and rest assured that the Latin Church is the True Church of Jesus Christ? |
A33380 | by what Spirit they would have the Faithful chuse that side where they should refer themselves to their Pastors? |
A33380 | from whence they came? |

A33380 | how was it restored to them? |
A33380 | is it not elsewhere written, That we are built upon the foundations of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner- stone? |
A33380 | it consists in examining, whether it be true, that God has made her the Mistress of all other Churches? |
A33380 | one approved by his works and his Learning, and any one who is not either a Child, or Worldly or Ignorant of spiritual things? |
A33380 | or is it because the Latin Church had some peculiar priviledges beyond all others? |
A33380 | or is it meant only of such Relative Worship that the Image should have no part of it, or if has any part, what is it? |
A33380 | should we be always in doubt, under a pretence that our Light might deceive us? |
A33380 | they are all but so many meer private men, and what Right have those private men to gather Assemblies? |
A33380 | whether there is any particular order that binds us indispensably to her? |
