A26882	If it be so heinous to confute it, why did you divulge it?
A26882	If the work be faulty, why do you not joyn with me to save men from it?
A26882	If we could as charitably judge of a godly man that differs from us, as of our selves, and most esteemed Partners, how much sin should we avoid?
A26882	If you can not bear these, sure you are less patient at the words[ Wrath and Anger of God]& c. what is it that you would have?
A26882	Intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Aegyptian?
A26882	Is a defensive confutation of Errour, dealing severely?
A26882	Is not Kneeting, putting off the Hat, Methods, Translations, Meeter, Tunes,& c. in the Worship of God?
A26882	Is not a Man named openly, till his Name be Printed?
A26882	Is not this partiality?
A26882	Is the sense[ Godly sorrow worketh Godly sorrow?]
A26882	Is this no Consutation of you?
A26882	It was hard measure that the striving Israelite offered to Moses, that said, Who made thee a Prince, and a Iudge over us?
A26882	May the Argument use a term which the answerer may not repeat?
A26882	Must you not first prove the Old so bad, as that no- Church Worship is better?
A26882	O that I could have fore- known, that I might have confuted his Arguments without his Name, and displeased no body?
A26882	Or, will you be without all, because you had once Possession of better?
A26882	Perhaps you''l say, It''s a vain wish of an impossibility?
A26882	Was there no publication of Names till 224 years ago, when Printing was invented?
A26882	What Heresy or sin almost is not controverted?
A26882	What work would this Argument make?
A26882	What''s become then of your saying, We had Possession?
A26882	When I excluded his misliked sense?
A26882	Where hath God given any men power to prescribe& impost Forms for others, or commandea others to obey them?]
A26882	Who knoweth not that the Religion of the Parish- Churches is like to be the National Religion?
A26882	Will not your Reason prove, that we must also separate from you?
A26882	You''l say, that''s but metaphorically spoken?
A26882	▪ Will you rather worship no where?
A37064	( quoted in his Title Page) he hath changed the words of the Text, putting in stead of Edification, the word Instruction?
A37064	And doth not this deserve to be set a foot as soon as may be?
A37064	And how is the Spirit effectuall in us?
A37064	And is there any Reason in this?
A37064	As for the Question, What he should do with those that are strangers, and what his relation is unto them?
A37064	But I beseech you, what is the Power sued for by the Ministers here?
A37064	But the doubt is not absolutely of the thing in it self;( for who will call that in question?)
A37064	But what if no new Star arise?
A37064	Can any man say with any measure of conviction and knowledge, that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost?
A37064	Do not I in this case not onely want Charity, but also take too much upon me, to have all unsettled till I be satisfied?
A37064	For if he dare presume to corrupt the Word of God, for the easier Introduction of some opinion of his own; what Truth can we find to be in him?
A37064	For is it not the very end of Church- Government, to make Mens lives conformable unto Christ, and to make them sutable to submit to his Commandements?
A37064	Hath he hitherto shewed no judgement to the Gentiles?
A37064	If this be not his aime, I would pray him to let me know ingenuously how the alteration doth come?
A37064	Is not God the God of Peace and Order, and not of Confusion?
A37064	Is there any danger in a speedy course to repress prophaness, to rectifie disorderliness, and to cure ignorance?
A37064	Is there not a Woe denounced to those that give Scandalls?
A37064	May not I say as well some New Truth may be discovered; Ergo, I will not professe what I now know?
A37064	Nay, but the People resolves their Conscience in this Querie ▪ Whether the Religion be settled by Law or no?
A37064	Nay, doth not every part of that Profession call aloud for a Settlement of Government with all possible speed?
A37064	Now if this much Gospell- Obedience be not some common fruit of the word& of the Spirit, I would fain know of him, whence it doth proceed?
A37064	Of this thing he doth make a doubt; Whether it be fit speedily to settle it in this Kingdome or no?
A37064	The Question made hereof, or the thing sought after, is to know; Whether yea or no it be fit, that any such thing should be hastily settled?
A37064	The limitation of the Question is; Whether that Settlement can be, according to the Principles of true Religion and State?
A37064	What do I say then?
A37064	What is his meaning?
A37064	Where is the danger?
A37064	Whether a free chosen Eldership, is not to be trusted with the Charge of Souls in ordinary, rather then any other sort of men whatsoever?
A37064	Whether in Nature, it can belong to any more properly then unto them?
A37064	Whether is it a State Power, or a Spiritual and Congregationall Power?
A37064	Whether the Right of Guiding and Over- seeing Mens Souls, be committed in the Scripture to any but unto the Eldership?
A37064	although their Subjects were not instructed to know him?
A37064	and doth this follow; that the State ought not to settle any Government, because the People is too much devoted to their Authority?
A37064	and if all this be so, what inconsistencie then is there between this Power, and a sudden Settlement?
A37064	and if we should grieve for them; should not means also be used which God hath appointed, to take them out of the way?
A37064	and shall we escape perdition if we lie under wrath?
A37064	and that they wil think themselves injured if not given?
A37064	and what benefit can redound to Godliness, by deferring the Discipline and Order by which it should be upheld?
A37064	can any thing be said more fals then this?
A37064	doth not this tend directly to the salvation of mankind, to Gods glory, and to the good of his Church?
A37064	how far he is to look unto ther Profession, and to what end?
A37064	if others have no right to this Power, why should they for whom he pleads pretend to it?
A37064	is it no dishonour to Christ to neglect, or refuse to settle his Ordinances?
A37064	is not the same Power as dangerous in the one Partie as in the other?
A37064	is not this to seek my self more then the Publique?
A37064	is the Government of the Gospell to be set up without preparation?
A37064	is there no danger in delaying without cause a thing of so great concernment?
A37064	nay, is it not rather dangerous and unjust, to refuse it by a needlesse delay?
A37064	or why should I put fears and jealousies in their minds, to alienate them from the love of Government?
A37064	ought they not rather to be so much the more carefull of their duties?
A37064	ought they not rather to make use of their interest in the Peoples affections, to settle that Government which Christ doth require in his house?
A37064	should all in the Congregation be promiscuously admitted to all Ordinances?
A37064	what assurance then can they give, that they shall not abuse their Authority?
A37064	what if these Confusions grow greater, and become habituall?
A37064	why then if it may be settled in any degree, as in some degree it now may, should it be differred?
A37064	why then should we hinder a Settlement of those Means?
A37064	will he not be angry if we demurre upon the Matter?
A37064	will not then this Policy prove folly?
A26183	And how can you say, you will not pretend to determine the Final State of Men?
A26183	And who says it does, when Circumstances determine it another way: but how can you affirm it to be so here without still begging the Question?
A26183	Are all that are unsound, divided from the Body?
A26183	Atwood, William, d. 1705?
A26183	Atwood, William, d. 1705?
A26183	But be it as you contend, that this was only the Act of a Schismatical Bishop; how comes it to pass that his Church was not concerned in this?
A26183	But is it not equally evident, that whoever separates from any true Part, separates from the whole?
A26183	But suppose they will not, any more than one Prince will be governed by the Advice of his Neighbour; do not you make Independent Soveraigns of them?
A26183	But the Question is, Whether any thing necessarily determines my Communion to a particular Church, and what it is?
A26183	But the Question is, Whether if in Accidentals only the danger be the same?
A26183	But the Question is, Whether they be not made Members of the invisible?
A26183	But then you having admitted, that Dissenters have proper Church- Officers and Power, what Answer will you make to what follows?
A26183	But will you say,( as you must, if you are consistent with your self) that St. Peter was a Schismatick by this?
A26183	Does Baptism do it?
A26183	How, even upon the Notion of dividing in Accidentals, will he that divides from one Bishop, but yet communicates with another, be guilty of Schism?
A26183	If I may not offend, I should say my Question is, What obliges to constant Communion?
A26183	If his Desire be reasonable and honest, why do we not grant it?
A26183	If his Request be for our Profit, why do we refuse it?
A26183	If it be ask''d, What''t is which brings one with safety to this Beginning of the Catholick Church?
A26183	If one Member be pulled from another, where is the Body?
A26183	If the Body be drawn from the Head, where is the Life of the Body?
A26183	If therefore there be any true Christian Church, with which you refuse to communicate, have you not made a good Rod for your own Back?
A26183	Is Christ''s Body made up only of sound Members?
A26183	Is it the Civil Power, as it unites us under a National Church?
A26183	Is it the Divine Right?
A26183	Might not they tell you, that you want Christian Charity, unless you are united in one Communion with this one Body?
A26183	Or at least, whether you are not Schismatical, in dividing from some true Churches?
A26183	Or if not, how long Suspension will amount to a Forfeiture?
A26183	Or would the prevailing Party, which vigorously insisted on this, be Schismatical?
A26183	The Penalty indeed is not made to extend to Foreigners of Reformed Churches allowed here; but quere, whether the Declaration of Disability does not?
A26183	The third Query is, Whether if the Promise you mention be confined to the Apostles, as Church- Governors, it will not exclude the Civil Power?
A26183	There is but one Baptism; and then shall not all they which be baptized be one?
A26183	There is but one Frith; and how can we then say, He is of the Old Faith, and he is of the New Faith?
A26183	There is one Spirit which joineth and knitteth all Things in one; and how can this Spirit reign in us, when among our selves we be divided?
A26183	Was this impertinent, or presumptuous?
A26183	Well then, how does that agree with the Primitive Rule, from which in another place you had occasion to argue?
A26183	Well, what is it that obliges me always sometimes to communicate with a particular Church?
A26183	Were these poor Men Schismaticks, and as bad as Murderers and Adulterers?
A26183	What do you mean by constant Communion?
A26183	What then, if I chuse ordinarily to communicate with another Church?
A26183	What tho he does actually communicate?
A26183	What tho, according to Mr. Chillingworth''s Rule,''t is possible to be a Member of the Church without actual Communion?
A26183	When, according to this, he would be but one of the College of Presbyters?
A26183	Where you take advantage of the Printer''s Mistake, putting it is, for is it?
A26183	Whereas it was, Whether it might not be an entire Body?
A26183	Wherefore might not the Papists beat you into their Church, with those Weapons which you have forg''d against others?
A26183	Whether it ought to be made a Term of Communion to such an one?
A26183	Whether such a Man may not honstly scruple this?
A26183	Why did they celebrate these Mysteries the Quire- door being shut?
A26183	Why should any Error exclude any Man from the Churches Communion, which will not deprive him of eternal Salvation?
A26183	Why so?
A26183	Why, says it, cryed the Deacon in the Primitive Church, if any be holy let him draw near?
A26183	Would not more than one Church in such case be consistent with one Civil Government?
A26183	Would not that which was the fourth Query prove to be not very impertinent?
A26183	You will say perhaps, you can not communicate but upon sinful Terms: But what''s that to the purpose?
A26909	2. and 3. which are Covenants to them?
A26909	23. ordain Elders in every Church?
A26909	And if these be not worth the disputing with, it seems, that you differ from them more than Separatists do: and then were not all these Schismaticks?
A26909	And is it Edifying to read such a discourse, that saith and unsaith by self- contradiction?
A26909	And is not Agreement a humane Contract?
A26909	And is not his consent then necessary?
A26909	And what a Trade for the Booksellers?
A26909	And what shall they do where the Prince equally tolerateth both, and it''s hard to know which is the more numerous?
A26909	And whether they are Friends to Mankind?
A26909	And who denyeth this?
A26909	And why can not they?
A26909	And why may there not be distinct Politick Bodies, or Compound in one whole as well as natural?
A26909	And why then should their own Books be so valued?
A26909	Are all that dwell in the Parish or Diocess your Church members?
A26909	Are not the Takers of it obliged?
A26909	As Whole and Parts?
A26909	Baptism delivereth men possession of Pardon, Grace and right to Glory; and can men have this against their wills?
A26909	But hath God commanded or instituted no Covenant but Baptism?
A26909	But in what sence is Episcopacie one?
A26909	But is it true that humane Contracts make not a Church?
A26909	But is not humane Covenanting a cause of single Church Relation as well as of universal?
A26909	But is not the Inference true?
A26909	Can the wit of man imagine how it is possible without consent, for a man to be made the Pastor of any Flock?
A26909	Could any then come otherwise in?
A26909	Did he think these things need no proof at all?
A26909	Did not all Churches hold and practise this after, and was it none of Gods Institution?
A26909	Do not men owe duty to their Pastors which they owe to no others?
A26909	Do the Free- holders of Belford- shire choose Knights for Middlesex; or the Citizens of Oxford choose Officers in London?
A26909	Do the Men of one Colledge, School, Corporation, owe no more duty to that than to all others?
A26909	Do you Swear Canonical obedience as much to the Bishop of Paris, or Ha ● ● nia,& c. as to your Ordinary?
A26909	Do you yet see no Priviledges that one hath Proper, and not common to all?
A26909	Do your Bishops in Convocation make Canon Laws for all the World?
A26909	Have they all things common?
A26909	How are your Parish or Diocesan Church members known to your selves or any others?
A26909	How far are the Vniversal Church and Particular Churches distinct?
A26909	How few in England separate not from the Church as far as this disobedience amounts to?
A26909	How many Ages in above 23 Duplicates or Schisms, was the World uncertain which was the true Pope?
A26909	If a man come from a Countrey Village and be made by Covenant a Citizen of London, how prove you that he renounceth King or Kingdom?
A26909	If it be every transient Communicant, have you a proper Pastoral care of every Travellers Soul that so communicates with you?
A26909	If many Students may make one Colledge, why may not many Colledges make one University?
A26909	If not, put them not on it: Why are you angry with them for going from you?
A26909	If not, why are all the Nonconformists cast out that offer to officiate and Communicate on such terms as are common to all sound Churches?
A26909	If one from York or Cornwall come into your Pulpit without consent, do People stand as much related to him as to you?
A26909	If so, God requireth us not to take any of you for our Bishops or Pastors: Who then requireth it?
A26909	If so, what a case was the East in by the difference between Chrysost ● ● e and his Competitors?
A26909	If the Exercise must be in particular Churches, must not men Consent to their Relations and Duties?
A26909	If those that heard not a Sermon in many years differed not from your Congregation, why do you preach?
A26909	Is every Christian bound on pain of Damnation to 〈 ◊ 〉 all these, and then to c ● amine and ● idge Bishops and Priests accordingly?
A26909	Is every Priest the Vniversal Church, or an essential part of it?
A26909	Is it a sin to Promise Duty?
A26909	Is it all difference in the Integrals or Accid ● nts?
A26909	Is it all 〈 ◊ 〉 of Love, or all Vncharitableness to one another?
A26909	Is it any renuntiation of Baptism to promise at Ordination to obey the Arch- Bishop and Bishop, and to take the Oath of Canonical Obedience?
A26909	Is it called Divine only as made by God, or as commanded by God and made by Man, or as mutual?
A26909	Is it enough that it be of Men?
A26909	Is it not still exacted?
A26909	Is this separating from the Catholick Church?
A26909	Must the World at last learn that Whole and Parts are not distinct?
A26909	No man then is out of the Church that is not out of the Baptismal Covenant, either by not taking it, or by renouncing some Essential part of it?
A26909	Or that did not implicitely trust all the Priests that he ordained?
A26909	Quo reneam nodo,& c. How should one deal with such slippery men?
A26909	Reader, doth not this man here confess that there are particular Churches?
A26909	Then the Baptized are still in Communion with the Church, till their baptism be nullified: And hath he proved us Apostates?
A26909	They that fellowed the Bi ● hop, or they that separated from him and kept to the C ● hedral?
A26909	V ● i Episcopus ibi Ecclesia: Who were the Separatists?
A26909	Was he then a Schismatick?
A26909	What if the Alexandrians, when 〈 ◊ 〉 was banis ● ed by Constantine himself, were half for him, and half against him?
A26909	What the meaning of this great, Decantate Word[ Separate] is, must anon be enquired: But, may not Churches be distinct and not culpably separate?
A26909	What, I say, if the People now mistooke who had the best Title?
A26909	Whether he separated from himself or his Church?
A26909	Whether there he be a Subject to Dr. Stilling sleet as his Pastor, and bound to obey him?
A26909	Whether these men are for the Unity of England?
A26909	Who ever ordained a man against his will?
A26909	Who would have thought that we are more for the Liturgy than he?
A26909	Why are we ruined for not covenanting as aforesaid?
A26909	Why doth the Canon suspend those that receive them to Communion from another Parish that hath no Preacher?
A26909	Will any Divine Covenant serve?
A26909	against humane Church Forms?
A26909	and France, about the Archbishops of Rh ● ● ● s, when he was put out that deposed 〈 ◊ 〉 4. and when an Infant was put in, and oft besides?
A26909	and can any wonder if Rulers should think the Punishment of M ● r ● ● rers is not worse than we deserve?
A26909	and doth he not Preach Christians into the hatred of each other?
A26909	and then, are not you a Schismatick if you communicate with them?
A26909	are not Covenants imposed on all that will be Ministers in the act of Uniformity?
A26909	are not multitudes kept out and cast out for not making these Covenants?
A26909	as in Zeno''s and Anastasius Reign,& c. And what shall they do when many Chnrches in one City are of divers Tongues, as well as Customs?
A26909	if yea, then is it against Baptism to promise to do our duty?
A26909	is it all difference in the Essentials of Christianity?
A26909	or for any man to have Title against his will, to the proper oversight and pastoral care of any one Pastor, or the priviledges of any Church?
A26909	or if they mistake one or more mens Commission, do they therefore separate from the Catholick Church?
A26909	or is the damning dangerous Engine made since?)
A26909	or must it not be only the Baptismal Covenant?
A26909	or when the 〈 ◊ 〉 were put down, where they had been?
A26909	or whether many out of his Diocess( thousands) may not as Lawfully dwell half the Year in London as he?
A26909	perswaded the continuance of it, did the universal Church separate from it self and Christ?
A26909	sure now they should be Christians?
A26909	〈 ◊ 〉 and I ● natius and hundreds others?
A61119	( 16) Hath Christ said, that in a sound Church, Church- Officers shall excommunicate, and in an unsound, the Magistrate shall do it?
A61119	( 2) Those that are ordained by Bishops, may be true Ministers; else how am I a Preacher, or they true Ministers?
A61119	( 5) Must not there be persons ordaining, and persons ordained?
A61119	And I pray, are not these the Sons of the Swingers according to ordination, ordained and called by Bishops?
A61119	And dare you judge thus, and condemne thus?
A61119	And durst you make use of your Logick to cast such a mist upon the promises to sinners?
A61119	And how are these things sutable?
A61119	And how dare you then take all things at one hand, and not at anothers?
A61119	And how if the works of those you so judge, be wrought in the Spirit?
A61119	And is it so with any of your ▪ Presbyters?
A61119	And now is it your Inference, or my Principle, wrongs the Magistrate?
A61119	And was not this called by the Apostle, One sacrifice for sins for ever?
A61119	And was there ever crime without some Scripture, or shadow of the Word?
A61119	And what will they have ye do if Formes should alter?
A61119	And why?
A61119	And why?
A61119	Are not your dreames of the everlasting burning, and of the worme that never dies?
A61119	Are the Parishes of England and Churches of Ierusalm one and the same, so discipled, so constituted?
A61119	Are you not in the gall of bitternesse and bond of iniquity?
A61119	Brethren, if ye will needs have the State to allow ye your Presbytery, Why are ye not content with what they can allow ye?
A61119	But Oh might it be Repentance rather, till Master Edwards smite upon his thigh, and say, what have I done?
A61119	But is not his Civil power that which puts life, as you think, into all your Presbytery?
A61119	But what is this to your Ministery or Ordination, who are yet under the Marke and Babylonish Ordination?
A61119	But why chose you not a better time to trie Truth in, when you were not so much in the body?
A61119	But why no Name?
A61119	Can Repentance make peace?
A61119	Can a Spouse argue better the love of her friend from his Tokens and Bracelets, or from his owne word, and Letter, and Seale?
A61119	Can all be more or lesse spiritually perswaded?
A61119	Can any beleeve too soon?
A61119	Can he be provoked for 〈 ◊ 〉 done away and abolished?
A61119	Can he love and not love?
A61119	Can the Fountaine be too soon opened for sin?
A61119	Can the riches of Christ be too soon brought home?
A61119	Can you cast out my mo ● e, and behold, a beame in your own eye?
A61119	Did Paul bid the eaters of flesh call the eaters of herbs, hereticks?
A61119	Did ever Justice do this?
A61119	Did you ever call for their accusers face to face?
A61119	Did you ever traverse Testimonies on both sides?
A61119	Do I speake of any perswasion of Christs love which is not Spirituall?
A61119	Do not you heare the Prayers of those soules you wound, pleading with God against your sin?
A61119	Doth God love as we love one another, from complexions or features without, or loves he not rather thus?
A61119	Doth he hate persons or sins?
A61119	Doth not the Word bid you restore those that are fallen, in meeknesse, and tell your brother his fault, first betwixt you and him?
A61119	First; in degrees of Revelation, the Gospell came not all out at once in its glory: They Preached them, but how?
A61119	For your witnessing to the Antinomian party against your will: Is that your fault, or mine?
A61119	God forbid: Can Christ be too soon a Saviour to us?
A61119	Hath Christ taken away all the sin of his?
A61119	Hath he borne all upon his body or no?
A61119	Hath not God chosen us in him,& predestinated us unto the adoption of children in Jesus Christ?
A61119	Have you no gnawings, no flashings, no lightnings?
A61119	How dare you have one eare open for complaints, and faults, and crimes, and the other shut against all defence?
A61119	I pray mistake not, Can all beleeve from the Spirit?
A61119	I pray, Can God be as the Son of man ▪ Is there any variablenesse or shadow of change in him?
A61119	If God be in any of those you are so much an enemy to; how will you answer it to fight against God, any thing of God?
A61119	If the Image of Christ be in any of those you so persecute; how can you answer it to Jesus Christ, to cash any dirt on the glory of him?
A61119	If the whole body were the eye, where were the hearing?
A61119	If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
A61119	If ye will have a Divine Right which they can not allow ye, why do ye trouble them, and sit down under a bondage of your own making?
A61119	If your power and liberty respectively to your selves and the Magistrate be so distinct, why have ye mingled them and confounded them all this while?
A61119	Is Christ in this Spirit?
A61119	Is it better to obey God or man?
A61119	Is not your spirit yet flying; when none pursues you?
A61119	Is our bloud too good for Bishops, and not for Presbyters, as some think?
A61119	Is the Gospell in this straine?
A61119	Is your Divine Right so questionable, that you will not own it?

A61119	Shall the unbeliefe of some make the Faith of God without effect?

A26897	Whether such may not be Ordained without popular Election?
A26897	Whether the Church may send them out as private men unordained, to Preach in the Parishes of England, or to the Heathens or Unbelievers?
A26897	Whether these Synods shall be held at certain stated times, or variously as occasions vary?
A26897	Who gave you Commission to Rule the Church?
A26897	Why rather to this, than all the rest?]
A26897	Why would you chuse Pastors that be not wi ● ● r to govern than your selves?
A26897	Will you all agree in your Tryals?
A26897	Will you choose a Non- Communion to escape it?
A26897	With what hearts do such dividing Brethren read all those passages of Scripture that speak of the Unity of the Catholick Church?
A26897	Would it not be as profitable for all Members to come about again at certain seasons?
A26897	Yet lest any think him too loose, I will add his last leaf of Rules[ How in a less pure Church Communion must be continued with a safe Conscience?
A26897	and evil speaking against the things that they understand not?
A26897	and of Iustification, and of Regeneration?
A26897	and that Scripture is true?
A26897	and whether they decide Doctrinal Controversies truly or erroneously?
A26897	and whether they rightly expound a thousand difficult Texts?
A26897	and why he will cleave rather to one of them than to another?
A26897	especially if an opportunity of Communion with other Churches were shut up?
A26897	in length or briefly?
A26897	nor no more humbly sensible of their own unworthiness?
A26897	what Factious Doctrine, for Parties and against Parties are usually managed in Publick and Private, where these Divisions once appear?
A26897	whether it be the substance of the Holy Ghost that is given in to the Faithful, or only his Effects?
A26897	whether written Notes?
A26897	yea, to escape a possibility of it?
A26897	— Is not here enough for our Agreement in this Point?
A27054	& 17. what have you but our common Catechism truths?
A27054	1. Who have poisoned the Church and souls with more errors and more palpable, than the Papists who are most against Toleration?
A27054	All sin, and all discord is contrary to our desired concord, and is our reproach: But shall no sinners therefore be endured?
A27054	All the doubt then remaining is, whether your terms or those desired by us, are the true way of Love and Concord?
A27054	All will say, Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
A27054	And Men will be inquisitive, By what Authority Subject Presbyters, and Diocesan Bishops and Churches were introduced after Scripture- times?
A27054	And as if his Flock which then was but a few hundreds must be no greater, when the Kingdoms of the world are become his Kingdoms?
A27054	And as the beloved Apostle saith, that GOD IS LOVE as a name which signifieth his essence, why may not the same be said of souls, which are his Image?
A27054	And briefly as to the rest, there is no Calvinist believeth that ever all the Churches will receive the Lutherane Consubstantiation or Church- Images?
A27054	And can it be expected that in such a world, particular Christians should be sound without their personal differences?
A27054	And could it then be expected that all Christians be of the same opinions in all things?
A27054	And doth not all this intimate the necessity of a Union of minds?
A27054	And had not the Holy Ghost skill to speak even things necessary in tolerable intelligible phrase?
A27054	And how can Christ make his Church, without uniting the members?
A27054	And how can we do the works of Love without Love?
A27054	And how come we to know that they were righter than the rest, that had it not?
A27054	And how doth he believe in Christ that believeth him not to be God, which is most eminently essential to him?
A27054	And how doth this Concord make it differ from a discordant odious noise?
A27054	And how many several species of Christianity( or faith) may be made in the world?
A27054	And how shall all these be able so to travel?
A27054	And is Piety and Christianity none of that?
A27054	And is there now any cause of discord here?
A27054	And it was not by these means, but by better causes, notwithstanding these diseases: so that as we answer the Question, Whether a Papist may be saved?
A27054	And must this be the only way of Universal Peace?
A27054	And pre ● ume to charge them all with so great Error, as not to know the terms of Christian Concord, nor the way of Universal Peace?
A27054	And that Christs true Flesh was broken, and his Blood shed by himself in the Sacrament, before it was broken and shed on the Cross?
A27054	And that Diocesans and subject Presbyters be but humane Institutions, and therefore Men may again change them?
A27054	And that instead of a Commemoration he offereth a real present Sacrifice for the quick and dead?
A27054	And the Western Christians so divided among themselves?
A27054	And then what wonder if the sacred office was corrupted to the doleful detriment and danger of the Churches, when the choosers were but such as these?
A27054	And was it in a set form of unchangeable words, that all these Articles( or Expositions) were carried down till now, or not?
A27054	And was it not so, and worse under the Popes and their Prelates?
A27054	And was there then no pardon of sin?
A27054	And was this discussed in any of these Councils?
A27054	And what blessings had that part of the Clergy been, that now have left their Names and History to reproach and shame?
A27054	And what greater blessing as a means to universal Reformation could be given men, than an universal common language?
A27054	And what is the property of Babel but division and confusion of tongues?
A27054	And what need a Council to declare that which all the Church did hold before, and was in possession of?
A27054	And where will they find that Land on Earth that will answer their expectation, and can and will receive them all?
A27054	And whether every Church of the lowest species must have a Bishop?
A27054	And which part was it that kept this Tradition?
A27054	And who can think that Erastianism, deposing the true use of Church- Government, as it hath begun, will not still more divide than heal?
A27054	And who knoweth not that disagreement proveth ignorance and errour, in one party at least?
A27054	And whose blood is safe, while such blood- sucking Leeches are taken for the Rulers of the world, and the Physicians of Souls?
A27054	And why may not Christs own Laws serve for Church Union?
A27054	And why should we be more impatient with this man, than with that?
A27054	And why that, rather than any of the rest?
A27054	And will the Christian world any more agree in such absurdities, than in a Quakers of Familists professing, that he speaketh by Inspiration?
A27054	And will want of a Sacrament then frustrate all?
A27054	And yet how little is this laid to heart?
A27054	And you may adde a fourth, Whether Archbishops be necessary to it,( not disputing now the lawfulness of any of all these?)
A27054	And, alas, how great a number live in our Churches never excommunicated nor publickly admonished who lye in such sins and will not repent?
A27054	Are all damned that were born since?
A27054	Are any two men in the world then of one Religion, any more than of one visage or slature,& c?
A27054	Are men liker to hate you, or to plot rebellions for being gently used as men, or cruelly like slaves or dogs?
A27054	Are not Parents pleased to see their children prosper, and every one delighted in the wellfare of his friend?
A27054	Are they all Lutherans, or Calvinists,& c?
A27054	Are they all Papists?
A27054	Are they all of the Greek Church, or Armenian, Abassine,& c?
A27054	As he is the Teacher of the Church, did he never teach them so necessary a thing, as what essential Church- unity is?
A27054	Be asked, Were there not like to be then greatest Choice upon the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit?
A27054	But alas what crabbed and contrary fruits, how soure, how bitter do many distempered Christians bring forth?
A27054	But have they ever( even at Munster) made any such horrid slaughters in the world as the great enemies of Toleration have done?
A27054	But how hath this Tradition been carried on, and kept right?
A27054	But if Copies and Translations differ and err, how can we make them our rule of judgment?
A27054	But suppose some difference had been in their sence, was it any renouncing of Christianity and such as cut them off from Christ?
A27054	But what are the terms and means of such a union?
A27054	But what is it that is necessary to the being and validity of baptism?
A27054	But what man thinks that it is so with all Error or Faults?
A27054	But what then, must all subscribe to, if not to all the Bible?
A27054	But why then is the world still unconverted, when all true Christians have this love?
A27054	Can a wise Physicion( a true Peace- maker) find out no remedy which may better avoid the foresaid evils?
A27054	Can all the Canons in the world attain more Concord and higher ends than these exprest?
A27054	Can he build his house, and never set the bricks, stones or timber together?
A27054	Can he prove that the Apostles were ever baptized?
A27054	Can you make a Clock or Watch, without adapting and uniting the parts?
A27054	Children may dye before they can be baptized, and are they by that natural necessity damned?
A27054	Did he ever hear them, and confute their Reasons?
A27054	Did not all the strife of Emperors for the power of investing Bishops, signifie this much against the Popes opposition?
A27054	Did they all receive Laws, Ordination or Officers from Rome, or from its Emissaries?
A27054	Did they ever murder 200000 people that lived peaceably at once, as the Frish Papists did?
A27054	Do we not see that husband and wife are pleased by the Riches and honour of each other, because their Vnion maketh all to be common to them?
A27054	Do you so debase and disgrace your selves and your religion, as to think or say that it can not prosper if any be but suffered to speak against you?
A27054	Doth he believe, That Prisons or Flames will make men of one Affection?
A27054	Doth it become absolutely necessary to Salvation, just at that Age, and not before?
A27054	Doth not the Scripture say, That the Holy Spirit dwelleth in Believers?
A27054	Doth not this imply, that after- times that might make so great a change, may also do the like in other things?
A27054	Doth the work of Christ afford you no more comfort, than shall leave you thus burdened if any will but gainsay you?
A27054	First, If it refer to the Person of the Receiver, how can the Holy Ghost dwell in any man, and not dwell in his person?
A27054	For what is a Church, but many Christians united and associated for Church- ends?
A27054	For what should hinder him?
A27054	Have you any other measure or test?
A27054	How easily may Hereticks creep in under such phrases as several men put several sences on?
A27054	How fair and easie is the way to Heaven among true Loving and agreeing Christians?
A27054	How few Countries are just of our mind?
A27054	How few Subjects must such a Prince expect to have, that will cut off all that are not of one intellectual complexion?
A27054	How it is to be used for the service of Christ and good of the Church?
A27054	How it is to be used towards all men as men in society?

A27054	How much of the designs of Satan and his agents have lain in dividing the servants of Christ?
A27054	How unanimous were the Sodomites in assaulting the house of Lot?
A27054	How unlike Christs Ministers or Christians do you speak?
A27054	If I am for Organs, for Images, for Crossing,& c. what hurt is it to let others meet and worship God without them?
A27054	If by Writings, why are they not cited, seen and tryed?
A27054	If ever you let them out of prison, will they not come out more alienated by exasperation?
A27054	If it was Rome only, then they had a Faith different from the rest of the Churches; And how shall we know that they are not as true and sound as Rome?
A27054	If many Notes ordered and united made not Harmony, what were the pleasure of musick or melody?
A27054	If not, why should you conclude that ever they will be?
A27054	If these be bred up in the same house, will they therefore have the same knowledge and conceptions?
A27054	If they say, that at least for the first six hundred years all the Church was governed by the Pope?
A27054	If this forcing course were now generally taken, how many Kingdoms would fare the better for it?
A27054	If this man had Rulers that differed from him, as much as he doth from the Nonconformists, would he, and could he, presently change his judgment?
A27054	If you think all must be united in any of these wayes, which of them is it?
A27054	In general, What are the true and only terms of Church- Vnion and Concord, and what not?
A27054	Is Gods Word worse than Popery?
A27054	Is it not better that in Congo, China,& c. Christianity is tolerated, than that they had all continued of their One Religion?
A27054	Is it that they all unite in Cephas( Peter) or in One Patriarch or Pope?
A27054	Is not that Promise true, That whoever believeth, shall not perish, but have everlasting life; and that the pure in heart shall see God,& c?
A27054	Is the Church now United in any of these terms or ways?
A27054	Is the Scripture as insufficient as the Papists make it, without their supplemental Traditions or Decrees?
A27054	Is there any thing in the nature of the thing so to perswade men?
A27054	Is there any thing in the world that ever came down to us by more certain, uniform, consenting tradition?
A27054	Is there no better way to the Churches concord, than that which must cast out either such men as you or I, and that so many?
A27054	Is there not Truth enough in all the Bible in intelligible words necessary to salvation and Church Communion?
A27054	Is this the sense of their having the Power of the Keys?
A27054	It is confessed that the Lords Supper is for Confirming Men in the Faith they had before: And are not both the Sacraments of the same general nature?
A27054	It is one question what is necessary to the justifying of the Priest, before the Church?
A27054	Let us not therefore judge one another any more?
A27054	Much less can they bring any pretense of it for the first three hundred yeas: Had they any Meeting in which they agreed for it?
A27054	Must not Reason be regarded?
A27054	Must they all be Papists?
A27054	Must they all be of the Greek opinions?
A27054	Must we write the same things as oft as Men arise that will repeat the Arguments so oft confuted?
A27054	No man will be exact in Justice till he do as he would be done by: And who can do that who Loveth not his neighbour as himself?
A27054	Nor my Dispute of Ordination Twenty Years ago written, and yet unanswered?

A27054	Or that they adhere to men with greater estimation?
A27054	Or think it hard, that any can profit more by another, than by me?

A30587	A little Logick will draw the consequence, Hath God declared himself that he intends to go on in this work he hath begun?
A30587	ANd now, my brethren, as the Eunuch said to Philip concerning his Baptisme, Here is water, what lets but I may be baptized?
A30587	Add indeed the root from whence the word comes, signifies desolari, to make desolate; why?
A30587	After a while Philip met with those who would have him to have revenged himself upon Arcadion, What say you now of Arcadion?
A30587	And dost thou also require, that wee must not bring our judgments to our Brethrens till thy light brings them?
A30587	And is not this one Spirit the Spirit of love and meeknesse?
A30587	And it is observable, that they follow upon those words, What shall it profit a man if he shall gaine the whole world, and loose his owne soule?
A30587	And to what purpose do we live, if God have not glory by us?
A30587	And what comfort can a man have of his life, if he be laid aside by God as a useless man?
A30587	And why may not I adde, of division and contention, peace and union?
A30587	Are they not under his protection and care?
A30587	Are those the places?
A30587	Are we the children of Israel?
A30587	Are you not the Stewards of Christ, are they not given to you for the edification of your Brethren, as well as for good to your selves?
A30587	Arius Montanus translates, Nunquid de solatio: what, is there desolation made?
A30587	As Balaams Asse said to his Master, Have I used to serve thee so at other times?
A30587	Away therefore, will you adde impiety to your sinne?
A30587	BUt how will this joyn us one to another?
A30587	But did he not bring disturbance to the Kingdome by this his zeale?
A30587	But doe not men in a Congregationall way urge upon others their owne conception ● and practices, according to the power they have, as much as any?
A30587	But doth not Christ say, Hee came into the world to witnesse to the truth, and is not every truth more worth then our lives?
A30587	But doth not this then exclude him from the exercise of any power in the matters of Christian Religion?
A30587	But especially where men will not keepe within their bounds in their power over others; for what is all our contestation at this time?
A30587	But here will be not an inconvenience only but a mischief?
A30587	But how can naturall and externall things be helps to things spirituall and divine?
A30587	But how can this be?
A30587	But how is this an argument for us to unite?
A30587	But how shall it be known, whether the Devill be in a mans conscience or not?
A30587	But if instead of being sweetned by mercies we are the more imbittered one against another, how great is this sinne?
A30587	But if men of evill tongues doe so much hurt to men of moderate spirits, what hurt doe they doe one to another?
A30587	But if the difference be so little, why doe they not come in?
A30587	But if those liberties they seek be good, or but supposed by them to be so, why then should they feare a right setling of things?
A30587	But it is necessary that all things be reformed at once?
A30587	But must God have all our hearts, so as we may not let them out at all to any thing else?
A30587	But that those embracements of his should be everlasting, and yet shall every trifle take us off from one anothers hearts?
A30587	But these who gather Churches thus, looke upon all others who are not in that way as Heathens; and what division must this needs make?
A30587	But they are not formally and juridically delivered up to Satan?
A30587	But what are the severall workings of pride that make such a stir in the world?
A30587	But what came on it?
A30587	But what if Congregations refuse to give account of their wayes?
A30587	But what may be done to a man in such a case?
A30587	But when these latter cases shall fall out, how shall the truth be maintained?
A30587	But while one draws one way, another another, one seeks to set up, and another labours to pull down, how can the work go on?
A30587	But who can know when a man is condemned of himselfe?
A30587	But why must there be Divisions, what does God ayme at in them?
A30587	But why then will they not admit them to their communion?
A30587	But will Printing help?
A30587	But would you know what it is that hath grieved it, and what it is that is like to grieve it further?
A30587	But you will say, How can we do lesse but account it a very strange thing, that those who fear God should be thus divided?
A30587	But you will say, Is it not more likely that men of learning and piety, should know what is right, and what is not, better then others?
A30587	But you will say, May not men be punished for things that they see no reason why they should be punished?
A30587	But you will say, Surely there is use of reason and prudence in matters spirituall; how far may their use extend?
A30587	But you will say, What?
A30587	By what name, sayes he, shall I call you?
A30587	Can any man living beare this?
A30587	Can not men walke peaceably in a broad way, though they do not tread just in one anothers steps?
A30587	Can not you endure reproach?
A30587	Can not you endure to be deceived?
A30587	Can not you endure to have others envy you?
A30587	Can this satisfie your consciences?
A30587	Can we be able to bear such rebukes as these?
A30587	Canst not thou prevail with thy Father as well in this as in that?
A30587	Christ reconciles both unto God: but how?
A30587	Conscience is an inward roome, who can see into it, what, or who is there?
A30587	Cur hominios non obstruitis auro argentove?
A30587	Did not he that made me in the wombe, make him?
A30587	Do not all Divines say, There are some things in Scripture wherein the Elephant may swimm, some things where the Lamb may wade?
A30587	Do not our Adversaries say, Let them alone and they will devoure one another?
A30587	Do not ye serve my gods?
A30587	Do you envy for my sake, says Moses?
A30587	Do you think this was Gods end in delivering us from being devoured of our enemies, that we may be devoured one of another?
A30587	Doe not men in a Congregationall way take away all Ecclesiastical means that should hinder such an absolute liberty as this?
A30587	Doe we provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A30587	Does it appear by our carriages one towards another, that we are taught of God to love one another?
A30587	Doth Moses prevaile too much in the hearts of the people?
A30587	Every man cries out of the Theefe, but who stops him?
A30587	First, A proud man thinks himself too great to be crossed, Shall I beare this?
A30587	For first, from whence is the rise of all Civill Power that any man, or society of men, are invested with?
A30587	For wherein lyes the strength of the seventh above the rest?
A30587	For who can say, that a Democracy is a sinfull Government in it selfe?
A30587	For yee are yet carnall; how do''s he prove that?
A30587	From whence are our State- divisions, our Warres, but because Princes have been perswaded their power was boundlesse?
A30587	From whence hath come the gross ignorance of Popery, but from the prevailing of this principle?
A30587	God is come amongst us, wee may see the face of God in what he hath done for us, and shall we be quarrelling before his face?
A30587	God shewes that he can owne us notwithstanding all our infirmities: Was ever Kingdome in a more distempered condition then ours hath been of late?
A30587	Had we joyned hand in hand together, and set out selves to serve the Lord with one shoulder, what abundance of service might have been done?
A30587	Hath Christ delevered us from one burden to lay a greater upon us?
A30587	Hath God made this to be an Ordinance for the spirituall good of people?
A30587	Have we not all one Father?
A30587	Have we the spirit of Christ in us?
A30587	He shall not prevail, sayes Christ: Why?
A30587	How can we answer Christ Jesus for these things?
A30587	How can you partake of the Table of the Lord, and the Table of Devills?
A30587	How comes it to passe, you can close so lovingly now?
A30587	How farre are most of us from this?
A30587	How great a misery will this be?
A30587	How great then is the evill of our divisions?
A30587	How little has all that they have studied and endeavoured to do, prevailed with the hearts of men?
A30587	How much better then is it to be hated for Christ, then to be beloved for sinne?
A30587	How then is it possible that we should be at peace one with another?
A30587	How unseasonable and dangerous is it for a Marriner to have his top- sails up, and all spread in a violent storme?
A30587	How were they wo nt to pour forth their hearts in prayer together?
A30587	I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled?
A30587	I demand, what can any Church- power do more to work upon mens conscience for the reducing them from evill?
A30587	I have read of two famous Philosophers falling at variance Aristippus and Aeschines, Aristippus comes to Aeschines, Shall we not be friends?
A30587	I know not: Shall I call you Cives, qui à patria vestra descivistis?
A30587	IF God should catch advantages against us, what would become of us?
A30587	IT is but a little time we have to live; shall the greater part of it, nay why should any part of it be ravel''d out with contentions and quarrels?
A30587	If an Ammonite or Moabite can not beare the being shut out of the Congregation of the Lord, how can the Saints beare it?
A30587	If he comes thus, who shall abide his comming?
A30587	If it prevails, what domineering is there like to be of one over another, yea of some few over many?
A30587	If men speak with strange tongues, aud there comes in one unlearned, will they not be to him as Barbarians, will they not say they are mad?
A30587	If one should set the Beakons on fire upon the landing of every Cock- boat, what continuall combustions and tumults would there be in the Land?
A30587	If such things may fall out between Jerome and Ruffinus,( sayes he) who that is now a friend may not fear to be an enemy?
A30587	If they be not united one to another in love and peace, but have a spirit of Division ruling amongst them, what will the world thinke?
A30587	If we had but that great question more amongst us, What shall wee doe to be saved?
A30587	If we should say, O Lord Jesus, wouldst thou have us be at peace one with another?
A30587	If you say, If men have meanes of knowledge and strength, and yet continue ignorant and weake, should not such be dealt with as wilfull and obstinate?
A30587	If you should compell us, sayes he, to sacrifice, what did you in this for your gods?
A30587	In times of Popery what rage did it raise against men who were most conscientious?
A30587	Is it comely for the body of Christ to be rent and torn?
A30587	Is it for the credit of a Master, that his servants are alwayes wrangling and fighting one with another?
A30587	Is it not a tedious thing in a family that the servants can never agree?
A30587	Is it not an abhorring thing to any mans heart in the world, that men should suffer that God to be blasphemed, whom they honour?
A30587	Is it not in our desires, that this great Victory might be pursued, that it might not be lost, as others( in great part) have been?
A30587	Is it not the power which they themselves had, and which they might have kept amongst themselves?
A30587	Is it seemly that one mans children should be alwayes contending, quarrelling and mischieving one another?
A30587	Is it such a Fast that I have chosen?
A30587	Is it true O Shadrach; Meshach, and Abednego?
A30587	Is not thine Embassage from thy Father, an Embassage of peace?
A30587	Is not this to deny the Church the benefit of the gifts and graces of thousands of others?
A30587	It is not enough therefore to say the thing is in it selfe better, but is it better in all the references I have, and it hath?
A30587	It may be you will say, What hurt is there in them?
A30587	Lastly, the Saints enjoyment of the sweetnesse of love, peace and unity among themselves, what is it but heaven upon earth?
A30587	Let all bitternesse, wrath, anger, clamour, and evill speaking be put away from you with all malice: And would you doe that which may rejoyce it?
A30587	Luther approved of these things, are you wiser then he?
A30587	Many amongst us do but dream of men, with whom our hearts are not, that they have some plots working, and how do our spirits work against them?
A30587	Many will have no peace, except their own party be followed; Jehu- like, What hast thou to do with peace?
A30587	May it not be justly thought that all our seeming love one to,& closing one with another formerly, was only for our own ends?
A30587	May it not be that his eyes and thoughts were another way?
A30587	May it not help one way, and hinder many ways?
A30587	Moses speaks thus to those who strove one with another: Sirs, ye are brethren, why do yee wrong one another?
A30587	Nay, are they not falne into ours?
A30587	Nehemiah raised up by God for great service, what dirt was cast upon him?
A30587	Ninthly, what can have that power to take off the sowrnesse of mens spirits like mercy; the mercy of a God?
A30587	Now all this being done in Christs name, is this nothing to prevail with conscience?
A30587	Now then, have not our divisions overcom Gods goodnes, lest Gods goodness overcome our divisions?
A30587	Now then, how shall we know when a man is neither fickle nor stout?
A30587	Now what doth this require of us?
A30587	O Lord, what is this thy curse at this time upon England?
A30587	O pitty, pitty thy Brother, if thou canst not pitty thy selfe; does it not grieve thee, that thy Brother should bring sinne upon himself?
A30587	Oh Lord, what are we in these dayes such kinde of Christians as these were?
A30587	Oh blessed Saviour, is not thy prayer against our divisions, as strong?
A30587	Oh blessed Saviour, must we not think that thou art come to send peace?
A30587	Oh consider, is the breach between man and man so grievous?
A30587	Oh that we had hearts when we find contentions stirring to consider, But is there not a temptation in them?
A30587	One would be for Paul, another for Apollos, sayes the Apostle, What need this contention, who you are for, and who another is for?
A30587	Only here lies the great doubt, Whether hath God appointed the use of the Magistrates power to be a helpe to the things of Religion?
A30587	Our Divisions hinder our strength; If you untwist a Cable, how weak is it in the severall parts of it?
A30587	Prayer in it selfe is better, but is it better at this time for me, all things considered?
A30587	Quid facit inpectore Christiano luporum feritas?
A30587	Quis non vita etiam sua redimat submotum istus infinitum dissi ● ii scandalum?
A30587	Rulers, saith the Text, are not a terrour to good works, but to evil; wilt thou then not be afraid of their power?
A30587	Shall I hold my peace when the Devill has stirred up so great a perturbation, has kindled so great a fire?
A30587	Shall I lose my sweetnesse in contending, to get my will to be above others?
A30587	Shall I say sutablenesse?
A30587	Shall men of warre be at peace?
A30587	Shall not we whom God from all eternity hath ordained to live co- heires in heaven, to joyn together in praises there, agree together here on earth?
A30587	Shall so many Religions be suffered amongst us?
A30587	Shall the comfort of all our former mercies and future hopes be lost, by raising up of new quarrels?
A30587	Sixthly, what help can there be?
A30587	So St. Paul, Hast thou faith?
A30587	So we may say, what if they will not regard your delivering them up to Satan, but will go on still?
A30587	Such an one is thine enemy, and wilt thou of one enemy make two?
A30587	Suppose a man differs from his brethren in point of Church- Discipline, must not this man have a place in an Army therefore?
A30587	Suppose children or servants were wrangling one with another, were not this an argument to make them be quiet, Your Father is here?
A30587	Take but away their disputes, and for any else, how empty and dry are they?
A30587	Tanta ne vos generis tenuit fiducia vestri?
A30587	Tell me, were it a signe of valour in a man to draw his sword at every Whappet that comes near him?
A30587	That is as if you should say, What if they be not conscientious?
A30587	The Lord make you to increase and abound in love one towards another, and towards all men: To what end?
A30587	The answer is soon made, Do you not see plainly that they came from your lusts?
A30587	The curing the heart will sooner cure the head, then the curing the head will cure the heart: Whence are wars?
A30587	The first heart- division amongst men was between Gain& Abel, and what caused it but envy?
A30587	The heat of the Gospel divides: it is like fire when it comes, Is not my word like fire?
A30587	There are other names of division; the name of Puritan, what a divider hath it been?
A30587	There is a great outcry of this but what is the scope of it?
A30587	There shall not a man be put to death this day: Why?
A30587	These are strange accusations; for do not they themselves make all these the signs of the true Church?
A30587	This dividing with God is very wicked; what communion hath God with Belial?
A30587	Those wasting Wars of the Romans between Sylla and Marius, Caesar and Pompey, were they not from hence?
A30587	To which the Embassadors of Austria reply: What discommoditie were herein, how heavie and sorrowfull newes this would be to the people, who seeth not?
A30587	VVE differ thus and thus, but what doe we agree in?
A30587	VVHat do you hear more ordinary then this, How many Religions have we now?
A30587	VVOuld not I have others beare with me?
A30587	VVhat then should be the rule?
A30587	WHen Christ shall come, will you stand before him with scratched faces, with black and blew eyes?
A30587	WHy may not meat come out of the eater, and sweet out of these bitter things?
A30587	We are delivered from being devoured by our enemies; shal we now devour one another?
A30587	We never had such a time to try what spirit of love, what principles of union are in us, as now we have; and shall we now miscarry?
A30587	We pray that the will of God might bee done on earth as it is done in heaven; why, may not we have a heaven upon earth?
A30587	We use to put a price upon things that are rare: what makes Jewels to be of that worth, but for the rarity of them?
A30587	Were it not better for thee to suffer; then for thy Brother to sinne?
A30587	Were it not folly and madnesse?
A30587	What a stir hath this Meum and Tuum made in the world?
A30587	What a stir would the Lions in the Tower mak ●, and the Bears in Paris- garden, if they were let loose?
A30587	What be our caetera opera, that bewray such a humor?
A30587	What biting and devouring was this?
A30587	What can cause one member to tear and rend another, but madness?
A30587	What dependance had these things upon their discipline and Ceremonies, supposing they had been right?
A30587	What does a froward contentious spirit do in thee, who professt thy self to be a Christian?
A30587	What hinders why soft and gentle words may not prevaile, as well as hard and bitter language?
A30587	What if nothing can prevaile with conscience?
A30587	What is more seasonable for divided times then uniting graces?
A30587	What is the meaning of humanity, but courteousness, gentleness, pleasantness in our carriages one towards another?
A30587	What shall I doe?
A30587	What shall we do?
A30587	What spirit is it that we professe our selves to be acted by when we are working for Religion?
A30587	What sweet visits were there wo nt to be?
A30587	What then followes?
A30587	What then is our fraternity?
A30587	What this people were in their divided condition, that we are; and what does this threaten, but that we should be as they a while after this were?
A30587	What, this is your conscience?
A30587	What?
A30587	What?
A30587	What?
A30587	When did you ever know a wrangling contentious Minister( though his gifts were never so excellent) do good amongst his people?
A30587	When the Turks have prevailed over Christians, do not all stories tell us it hath been through the divisions of Christians?
A30587	Whence are wars and fighting amongst you?
A30587	Whence come they?
A30587	Where is there that opening of secrets one to another as formerly?
A30587	Wherefore First, by these Divisions men may come to see the vilenesse and the vanity of their own hearts: what were the thoughts of men heretofore?
A30587	Who can meddle with this fire that is kindled among us, and not burn his fingers?
A30587	Who can read that short but sowre History of the troubles at Frankford, but his heart must needs bleed within him?
A30587	Who can stand before envy?
A30587	Why are you dismembred in your hearts and your opinions?
A30587	Why doe you seek to strengthen your selves by stirring up vile men to joyne with you, such as heretofore your hearts were opposite to?
A30587	Why doest thou not reason thus with thy spirit?
A30587	Why halt ye between two opinions?
A30587	Why may not a loving winning carriage do as much as severe rigid violence?
A30587	Why may not heavenly hearts change the very nature of these sowre brinish things, and make them sweet to themselves and others?
A30587	Why should a man labour and toyle till he sweats again, to take up a pin?
A30587	Why should our divisions cause u ● to call off one another, seeing our divisions from God hath not provoked him to cast us off?
A30587	Why should we let the strength of our spirits run waste?
A30587	Why should we not then keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace?
A30587	Why so?
A30587	Why, what then?
A30587	Why?
A30587	Why?
A30587	YOu will say, Are workes of zeale any helps to peace and union?
A30587	Yet were this Question put to some of us, Whence are all our divisions?
A30587	You begin to make a stirre, but can you give account of it?
A30587	You wil say, How could it then endure the heat of the oven?
A30587	You will say, How can that be?
A30587	You will say, These were wo nt to be very entire friends, how came they to break?
A30587	You will say, What evills would Christ have punished, and what not?
A30587	You will say, What if they care not for all this?
A30587	You will say, What need that?
A30587	Zoilus the common slanderer, being asked why he spake evil of such and such men?
A30587	ad Spalatinum Non possun quin vehementissime commovear quotie, haec mala apud me reputo: quid agam?
A30587	am not I about that which God hath called me to do?
A30587	and although we hold not the seventh, yet there is an ingredient in the sixt, that hath in it the strength of the seventh?
A30587	and did not one fashion us in the wombe?
A30587	and is it not our case?
A30587	and is not that a Dove- like spirit?
A30587	and is this comely?
A30587	and must this come from the City?
A30587	and shall men of peace be at warre?
A30587	and that nothing should be done for the restrayning any, but to aske them why they doe so, and to perswade them to doe otherwise?
A30587	and what then is like to become of the publique?
A30587	and yet the Lord hath owned us: Why should not we own our Brethren, notwithstanding their infirmities?
A30587	any reference to Christ might perswade unity, but union with Christ as the members with the body, what heart can stand against the strength of this?
A30587	are these the Sheep of Christ, whom I see to consume away in their miserable burning?
A30587	are they not hence, even from your lusts?
A30587	are we stronger then he?
A30587	as fire- brands plucked out of the fire, and now they seeke to fire those who plucked them out; but if this be too hot, what will you call them?
A30587	aut non me ● inisti alium nobis esse Imperatorem te superiorem?
A30587	be mercifull then: would you be commended?
A30587	bestow benefits then: would you have mercy?
A30587	by what should we judg a man to be obstiate?
A30587	canum rabies?
A30587	commend others: would you be loved?
A30587	cruenta sevitia bestiarum?
A30587	did we not then acknowledg that it were righteous with God because of our divisions, to give us up as a prey to our adversarie ●?
A30587	do you thinke this is pleasing to your Father?
A30587	doe we not agree in things enough, wherein we may all the dayes of our lives spend all the strength we have in glorifying God together?
A30587	doe you not feare to bring those feet of yours, polluted with the blood of innocents, into this holy place?
A30587	dost thou not pray for thy self and for him, Lord lead us not into temptation?
A30587	dost thou see that this will be a temptation to thy brother, and wilt thou lay it before him?
A30587	for we wilfully make our selves miserable; if men will undoe themselves, who can helpe it?
A30587	hast thou not said that they shall serve thee with one shoulder?
A30587	hath not one God created us?
A30587	have they stronger bonds of union then we?
A30587	he did not take notice of your passing by him; is it not thus often with your selfe in respect of others?
A30587	how did it please them at the heart if they could meet with any thing that might serve their turne?
A30587	how might the honour of Christ have been advanced high amongst us before this day?
A30587	how uncomely will this be?
A30587	if this be suffered, what desolation must needs follow?
A30587	is it better in regard of others, in regard of the publique, for the helping me in all my relations?
