A67694And many Nations shall pass by this City, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done this to this great City?
A67694And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?
A67694And what wil ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shal come from far?
A67694And yet, hath it not gotten great footing amongst us, and made wicked men get up the head, and wickednesse to grow and abound every- where?
A67694Are there yet treasures of wickednesse in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
A67694But to the wicked, saith God, What hast thou to do to declare my Statutes, or that thou shouldest take my Covenant in thy mouth?
A67694By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry, they cry out because of the arm of the mighty, but none saito, where is God?

A67694How shall he pray for others, who can not pray for himself?
A67694How shall he reveale Christ, who never knew him?
A67694I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?

A417711 First if the deed and obligation of our Ancestors?
A4177119 2, Then how could the great Assembly pray for a Blessing on this late Association?
A417712 2 I know thy works and thy Labour and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them?
A417712 Secondly, if it be in the power of people to choise any form or kind of Government?
A4177133. Who feared the Lord and served their own Gods Or what more have you to boast of by your Learning and external form of piety?
A41771And can do nothing of our selves, without the Lords Assistance, and the help of his holy Spirit?
A41771And must the People by an implicit submission and deplorable stupidity, destroy themselves?
A41771And seing the Lord will be glorious in his judgments?
A41771And there rest on their Protestations, would thus effectuat any thing?
A41771And this was done by the English Prelats who were the principal moving Instruments in this Revolution, in bringing him to the Throne?
A41771And when the Lord leaves the house, why should Man abide in it?
A41771Are not the best of Men subject to sin and fallings?
A41771But Secondly, You say though there be dissatisfaction with many Persons, whether Officers or Members?
A41771But it is objected, that this too hard a Sentence; will we Condemn all?
A41771But unto the wicked God sayes, What hast thou to do to declare my Statutes?
A41771Doth not such Prayers draw to a Blasphemous consequence?
A41771Furder I would interrogat the great Assemby, how they parted with the Indulgency and Toleration?
A41771Have not they in such an extremity, good ground to make use of that natural and radical power they have?
A41771Have you this to say that you are in Judgment sound Presbyterians and professes sound Principles?
A41771How prove we, that Conversion is not be ascribed to the present Church?
A41771How then can this Body admit of two distinct Authorities, or how can Obedience consist with it?
A41771I say can the Church which is Christs Body, serve two Heads?
A41771Now according to the Judgment of the Assembly, if it shall be yealded?
A41771Now let them be cast into a Categorical Mould ▪ What form shall come forth?
A41771Now yield, that Ministers and Elders were sufficient, and free of all Scandal, dot not their joining with the present Church?
A41771Oh ▪ can Union be in sin and defection?
A41771Or against which of all the Atri ● utes of God( either Communicable or Incommunicable) would this take up a con ● radiction?
A41771Que ● t: Why will you join with others, in so far as they are Reformed?
A41771Secondly, If it be in the power of the People, to choise any form or kind of Government that they please?
A41771Shal the end of Government be lost throw the Weakness, Tyrrany, and Wickedness of Governours?
A41771Should they give up their reason as Men?
A41771So that ye are never in favour with God, nor honoured of him to own duty, but still goes on in the same sin: For what can obstinat Sinners do?
A41771That there were no Church on Earth with which we could join with, no more than with you; would this be any thing absurd?
A41771The Question then is, What shall the dissatisfied do, whether separat or no?
A41771Their Consciences as Christians?
A41771To which I Answer, What if it were yeilded in Thesi?
A41771To which I Answer, it would be interrogat, if the Assembly understands these defects?
A41771What concord hath Christ with Belial?
A41771What doth the Assembly mean by their Sentiments?
A41771What fellowship hath Righteousness with Vnrighteousness, and what Communion hath Light with Darkness?
A41771What if all the Shires in Scotland would send a Thousand Arm''d Men to the chief City of every Shire, to declare against them?
A41771When debates are not about a Fundamental Truth and Necessar duty?
A41771],[ Edinburgh?
A41771and what concord hath Christ with Belial?
A41771and yet the Governours use not the Rod of Discipline to censure them; Then whether should the Members separat from that Church, yea or no?
A41771how contradictorie is this to the command of God?
A41771how miserable would this ● ● nd be?
A41771make them scandalous, and doth not our practise in withdrawing from them?
A41771or can we ● ccuse them of the Erastian Indulgence and Toleration?
A41771or how can any within the Church?
A41771or what Agreement hath the Temple of GOD with Idols?
A41771or what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols?
A41771or what part hath he that Believeth with an Infidel?
A41771or what part hath he that believeth with an unbeliever?
A41771or would you be in a happy condition if you obtained it?
A41771shall it so be with you?
A41771to admit of two distinct Authorities, and doth not this overturn the nature and Vows of Baptism?
A41771which are evill and thou hast tryed them which say they are Apostles and are not, and hast found them liars what shal I say then in this?
A41771will you still go on in a wilful malicious despite against the cause of Christ, and the followers thereof?
A41771would not this make the Church a Monster?
A20714866, affirmeth, that neyther the presence of the Congregation, nor blessing of the Minister, is necessarie to this action?

A20714And to what purpose is it to you, to knowe, to what member of your Distinction, wee referre the Articles of Pearth, and Episcopacie?
A20714But howe shall this bee?

A20714How oft, Brethren, shall wee exhort you to forbeare judging of other mens consciences, which are knowne to GOD onlie?
A20714Howe commeth it to passe, then, that this Ceremonie is allowed, and vsed by some of you?
A20714Howe is it, then, that for these your Newe Positions, yee make such stirre, and doe take such Dangerous Courses in hand?
A20714If yee bee of this same judgement, with vs, concerning the lawfullnesse of their Office, why doe ye not reverence them, as well as wee?
A20714Nowe, which of these two sortes of Scandall whould yee haue vs to acknowledge, in the practise of Pearth Articles?
A20714Of SCANDALL; and whether or not wee may denye Obedience to the Lawes of our Superiours, for feare of Scandall causleslie taken?
A20714Or if that part was not excepted, did yee put anie new glosse vpon it which it had not before?
A20714Or, last of all, If yee designe no period of tyme at all?

A20714Quo jure enim I ● c ● bit nobis dissolvare 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 Ecclesiasticam?
A20714Shall wee then for a Scandall causeleslie taken, denye obedience to our Superioures, and so incurre the guiltiness of sinne?
A20714Shall wee, then, put the breach of the Oath in a fayre hazard?
A20714Sixtlie, How can wee concurre with you in an Oath, wherein wee are infalliblie perswaded that yee haue abjured Pearth Articles, and Episcopacie?

A20714but what doeth your arguing reproue?
A20714or if it bee the tyme, when Pearth Articles, and Episcopacie, were receaved in this Church?

A42357Assembly?
A42357But could not the Commission for plantation of Kirks have exercised that Power, and the Authority of these Assemblies have also stood?
A42357But say our Brethren, how shall Unity and Order otherwayes be preserved in the Church of God?
A42357How great tyranny is this, and how remedilesse a way to ruin?
A42357If so, why do they themselves shew them so bad example in their Representation and Declaration, which are fraughted with debates of that nature?
A42357If then the superiour Judicatories will tyrannize, what remedy is there?
A42357Or, hath He given greater latitude in the exercise of the last nor of the two first?
A42357Or, if they do exercise it, do they mean to bind up men of their own judgment from debating for the Protestation and against the Publick Resolutions?
A42357Shall persons sentenced unjustly, submit?
A42357Shall the sole will and meer pleasures of men loose a man from the obligation he oweth unto the Commandments of God?
A42357Was there herein any thing faulty, much lesse so hainously faulty as an attempt for the utter ruin of the Church and of the resolution Brethren?
A42357We pray them then to tell us why it is no ● … done?
A42357We would desire from our Brethren a Reason, why the Critick- power should be more binding than the other?
A42357Were these Acts just and necessary at that time, and are not so now also?
A42357What hath made them change their nature?
A42357What remedy now?
A42357What remedy then, say we, for preserving the Truth?
A42357Why do they that teach others, not teach them ownselves?
A42357Will our Brethren under a pretext of Order, destroy Christian- liberty, and bring- in Popish- tyranny?
A42357and what degrees of unsoundnesse they will have them to fall into before this submission can be warrantably denied unto them?
A42357and yet what have all their 〈 ◊ 〉 prevailed?
A42357and, what saith it?
A42357are they not heard with deaf ears?
A42357do our Brethren think that the Church and themselves must stand or fall with the Authority of these late Assemblies?
A42357or, how in reason they can consist, when the last shall be contrary to the two first?
A42357or, to bind them up from debating for the Publick Resolutions, and against the Protestation?
A42357will they have him still to be a servant of men, and still to be in bondage?
A175713. descriveth the office of a Deacon, requireth he either abilitie to teach, or power to baptize?
A17571Againe that one should read the gospel another the epistle, what an idle distinction of idle officemen in the church is this?
A17571And among these of the Christian Church, why is Timothy and Titus, and many ● oe not remembred as the rest are?
A17571And doth not this, I pray thee, see to be an honest way to get a Church living, no such base and beggarly one as you speak of?
A17571And when they repeat, doth the minister pray againe the same words in his hart, which before he uttered with his tongue?
A17571And whereas he may visit if he please, the whole Diocies of his province, doe yee thinke hee will take the pains himselfe?
A17571And whom depute they, I pray you?
A17571And yet they will rather sever their ceremoniall fast from the action, then that it should not be performed upon the Lords day: for why?
A17571Are men able to doe it?
A17571Are the Archbishops and Bishops with their associates, honester and more conscientions men, then the Lord of Councel and Session?
A17571Are the tythes of other Parishes more spirituall then these of Royston?
A17571But I would demand, why Synods may not be so easily, and so often convocated as of old?
A17571But are th ● y onely thus beggarly in their ambitious suing for their promotions?
A17571But how?
A17571But is not this currying of favour meere beggery?
A17571But what came of that?
A17571But who will ever admit( sayth Mr. Calvin) that the title which the Councell requireth, is a yearly revenue to maintaine himselfe with?
A17571Can Princes or estates give power of spirituall censures either to lay or spiritual men?
A17571Can they give any reason of this difference, but a ● opish one?
A17571Can this collective name Church by any shift be drawne to signifie one particular person, Canterburies grace himselfe, or the great Pope himselfe?
A17571Did not the Bishops affirme at the examination of Barow, that the Queen might establish what Church government it pleased her Highnes?

A17571If bishops bee such vassals to Archbishops, what slaves thinke yee poore ministers be?

A51154* Who of the old Presbyterians ever Preached against the use of the Lords Prayer or Doxology?
A51154And Blowes up the Foundations of all Humane Society?
A51154And do the Presbyterians think to recommend themselves by asserting such Doctrines as necessarily overthrow all Government?
A51154And how comes the Vindicator to six upon that precise number twice?
A51154And if it was the ordering of a Meeting?
A51154And is not Presbyterian Government the immediate and express Institution of our Lord and Saviour?
A51154And may we be less serious in asserting his Kingly Office than in defending his Priestly and Prophetical Office?
A51154And pray, Was it not a significant Ceremony expressive of their Reverence and adoration?
A51154And was it not reasonable that our Posterity should remember it, as well as they to whom it was first reveal''d?
A51154And was not the Anniversary Solemnity of this Festival a just imitation of what the Court of Heaven did?
A51154And what is there in the most Barbarous Rabbling of the Clergy inconsistent with the Presbyterian Principles?
A51154But he asks if the Court of Heaven did keep an Anniversary?
A51154But if the writings of those ancient Presbyterians are lost; Are there no fragments of them preserved in the writings of succeeding Ages?
A51154But let me suppose the truth of this infamous accusation; who made them Judges of the Scandalous Clergy?
A51154But might not the Christian Church take care that this glorious Mystery should never be forgotten?
A51154But pray?
A51154But pray?
A51154By this method of reasoning what becomes of Calderwood''s History of the Presbyterians?
A51154By whom were they Converted?
A51154Can Religion prosper in our Nation unless the Bishops and their Adberents be extirpated?
A51154Did not the Presbyterian Church of Scotland upon all Turns wrestle with Authority about this great Truth?
A51154Does he think that the Notion of an Interregnum can justifie what modest Men are ashamed to own?
A51154Does this Author think that the present Generation knows nothing of the History of Presbyterians?
A51154Had not the Clergy as good right to their by- past Stipends as any man had to his private Estate?
A51154Have not we been taught better than to make publick the Secrets of the Faction?
A51154Have they any Principles, Discipline, or Worship, different from the Presbyterians?
A51154How can they pretend to be better Christians than the rest of their Neighbours when they venture upon the most unchristian Practices?
A51154How long shall these Sons of Strife continue in their Impudence?
A51154If all the Ecclesiastical Constitutions from the days of the Apostles had been written in the Bible, could one read it in a thousand years?
A51154Is not the World well mended by this Reformation?
A51154Is there any thing in this Regulation but what hath a natural tendency to preserve and propagate the great truths of the New Testament?
A51154Is there no security against the violent hands of those Saints, but the coercive power of Laws?

A51154Monro, Alexander, d. 1715?
A51154Must not we believe him at all because he is of a different persuasion?
A51154Quis genus Aeaeadum?
A51154That all the Monuments of their daring Insolence are extinct?
A51154That the Acts of the General Assembly are quite lost?
A51154That the British Tragedies from the year 1638. are buried in eternal silence?
A51154That the Villanies of the Remonstrators are Recorded no where?
A51154That their Squeamish Consciences groan''d under for so many years?
A51154The Vindicator tells us it is one lie from the beginning to the end, and why all this harshness and severity?
A51154To the Presbyterians only, who know all secrets, and discover Plots in the World of the Moon?
A51154To what Communion then do they belong?
A51154VVhat was it then that the King was to be blam''d for, and his Ministers of State?
A51154What Doctrine is it, that''s publickly owned or taught by the Episcopal Church, that has the least tendency to the breach of any of Gods Commandments?
A51154What a Cruelty is it in all the Sectaries to deprive the People of the Publick helps of Prayer and Fasting?
A51154What could the Episcopal Clergy expect from their present Persecutors, less than their Predecessors met with in that General Assembly?
A51154What is it that the Cameronians have done that they might not have done upon Presbyterian Principles?
A51154What is it that the Episcopal Church teaches that indulges men in their sins?
A51154What is there in those last Tumultuous Rabblings that the Presbyterians can disown?
A51154What other reason can we give why the word( significant Ceremony) should disturb their Imaginations?
A51154What, did not the Court of Heaven celebrate the birth of our blessed Saviour?
A51154What?
A51154Where were they Mustered?
A51154Wherein are the Cameronians to be blamed?
A51154Who can justifie this, that considers the many Incumbrances, Tentations, Weaknesses, that we daily encounter?
A51154Who saw the two thousand?
A51154Whose Delegats were they in the Execution of this Punishment?
A51154Why do they pretend to be acquainted with the Gospel, when they openly and jointly contomn its most essential Precepts?
A51154Why may not one do that constantly( since the Common Tyes of Christianity oblige him) that he may do occasionally?
A51154Why may not we express our Thoughts, Passions, and Affections by Ceremonies as well as by words?
A51154Why not the ordering of an Ecclesiastical Meeting?
A51154Why?
A51154and could the Christian Church take more effectual methods to preserve the memory of it than by appointing this Anniversary Festival?
A51154and in what Period of the Church it was not observed?
A51154and is it not very sad that there are no parallel Instances of any other Church from abroad?
A51154says he, Did the Court of Heaven keep the Anniversary day?
A42758And how shall things of this kinde bee determined, but by the common Presbytery?
A42758And what is that?
A42758And what of them?
A42758And what then?
A42758And what will you say if we finde examples of this plurality of Pastors in Scripture?
A42758And what wonder?
A42758But can it bee for nought that the Apostle ommitteth these two, when he doth over againe enumerate all the rest?
A42758But how is the Presbytery called the Church, and why?
A42758But if it be profitable and good, why did he call in question the necessity, at least the utility and the edification of it?
A42758But if the whole Congregation have the Rule and Government, who then shall be ruled and governed?
A42758But now to make it plainely appeare that hee spoke of the other gifts also, as they are in different persons, hee addeth, are all workers of miracles?
A42758But quo warrant ●?
A42758But saith Sutlivius, Timothy being an Evangelist( as you hold) how could hee be ordained by the Presbyterie?
A42758But what doe I digressing after the impertinencies of a roving disputer?
A42758But what of it?
A42758But what will you say if the adversaries of ruling Elders be forced to say somewhat for them?
A42758But why hath he taken all this paines?
A42758By what reason doth the Canon law draw from hence a name common to all the Ministers of the Gospell?
A42758Can he know what order and decencie in circumstances is fitte ● t for each Congregation?
A42758Can the Magistrate by himselfe determine questions of Faith?
A42758Could they bee any other then Ruling Elders?
A42758Else why did both hee, and Basil make such a parallell betwixt the Jewish and the Christian Church in the point of Elders?
A42758First, we would gladly know what warrant had hee for expounding Pauls more aboundant labouring then all the Apostles, of his preaching alone?
A42758How could hee then astrict the words of Ambrose to Elders by age onely?
A42758How shall a despised Presbytery have their wounded authority healed againe?
A42758How shall a divided Presbytery be re- united in it self?
A42758How shall a negligent Presbytery be made to doe their duty?
A42758How shall an Hereticall Presbytery be reclaimed?
A42758How shall sentence be given betwixt two Presbyteries at varience?
A42758How thought Whitgift, that the christian Magistrate can doe those things which the Seigniory did under a Tyrant?
A42758In these and such like contingent cases, what remedy can bee had, beside the authority of Synods?
A42758Jf they be Ecclesiasticall persons, where is their ordination?
A42758Now some hearers can not represent all the rest, except they have a calling and commission thereto, and who can those be but ruling Elders?
A42758Now then, who were the consorts which Pastors of Churches, or preaching Elders had in the government of the Church?
A42758Now, what Synod in any age after the Apostles could ever say that they were infallibly inspired and assisted by the holy Ghost?
A42758Quaeras hic,& c. Thou mayest here aske, saith Pelargus, why the Elders of the people and the Iudges were both together called out?
A42758Secondly, There were Seniors among the Jewes under Godly Kings, and in times of Peace: Why not likewise amongst us?
A42758Secondly, what warrant for such a distinction of Elders, that some laboured principally in governing, some in preaching?
A42758Surely this man had need to be more happy in his third exposition; and now let us know what it is?
A42758Tell me whether is preaching a duty belonging to all the Ministers of the Gospell or not?
A42758The Argument riseth from the plaine Text, then which what can be cleerer?
A42758The Ecclesiasticall Councell had already done that which they thought pertained to them: for what should they have convened again?
A42758Therefore every particular Congregation hath absolute power,& c. How bravely doth he conclude the point?
A42758They can not find out and discover Hereticks, how shall they excommunicate them?
A42758They can not judge of questions and controversies of faith, how shall they determine the same?
A42758To let all this passe, if any man will needs retaine the name of Lay Elders, yet saith Gersomus Bucerus, What aspersion is that to our Churches?
A42758Vt quid enim doctor appellatur nisi ut doc ● at?
A42758WHat is the meaning of these words, Tell the Church?
A42758We demand quo nomine, quo jure?
A42758Well: be it, as he saith, what great absurdity shall fellow?
A42758What hath Doctor Forbesse now gained by maintaining that the bounds of a Presbyterie, and of a Diocesse were all one?
A42758What if the one halfe thereof turne to be hereticall, or it may bee the major part?
A42758What shall be done in this case?
A42758What then?
A42758Whether Ruling Elders ought to have decisive voyces, even in questions of Faith and Doctrine, and in the tryall and approbation of Ministers?
A42758Whether may the Eldership cut off an offender renitente Ecclesia?
A42758Whether these 〈 ◊ 〉 be perpetuall or annuall, and but for a certaine time?
A42758Whether they ought to serve freely or to have a stipend?
A42758and how shall they bee taught without a Teacher?
A42758and how shall they ever attaine to such abilities except they bee taught?
A42758are all Teachers?
A42758are all for governements?
A42758bad Christ no greater care of the Churches then so?
A42758can one call in question the utility of that which is profitable?
A42758doe all interprete?
A42758doe all speake with tongues?
A42758for what of all this?
A42758have all the gifts of healing?
A42758how shall an apostatizing congregation be amended?
A42758how shall plurality of religions be avoided?
A42758is it any other thing then that which Papists object to us for admitting Lay men into Councels?
A42758or rather that the people gave their counsell and consent by the Eldership representing them?
A42758shall they be destitute of a Pastor, ever till they be able to try his gifts and soundnesse, and to exhort and pray at his ordination?
A42758where wee may supply, are all for helps?
A42758whither doe they sit as Christian Magistrates, or as men of singular gifts chosen for that effect?

A471506.15 Were they shamed when they had committed abomination?
A47150Alas unthankful People, do ye so requite the Lord?
A47150And after the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ, were they not indued with the Spirit from on high, and filled with the holy Ghost?
A47150And have not your brethren in England taken it up again?
A47150And oh, what were the materials of your building?
A47150And thus was it with them and so hath it been with many, who succeeded them; and was it not so of late among us also?
A47150And were it not for a livelihood, and worldly honour and respect, would so many betake them to such a work?
A47150HOw is it, that yee do not yet discern this time?
A47150I ask, is not a real practical breach of it, aswell, a breach( if not more) as a verbal?
A47150Is not this Babylon indeed, which is to say, Confusion?
A47150Oh, is not that a parable unto you?
A47150Were not your fore- fathers, the primitive Protestants and Reformers, a separated people?
A47150a true Church; or are not two or three godly women met together, a Church, though a man be not among them?
A47150and are not all Idolaters to be denyed, as to any fellowship with them in worship?
A47150and are not all such Idolaters( is not thee) vetous man an Idolater, whereas covetousness is idolatry, as saith the Scripture?)
A47150and did not the sober people in Scotland, in the former times of Prelacy, separate from the Prelatical Assemblies and their Conformists?
A47150and do not the poorest idiots in the Land see it?
A47150and have not hundreds of the Popish supperstitions crept in, under this mask of order and decency?
A47150and how came many of you to be Teachers?
A47150and how can ye justifie your separation there- from?
A47150and is it not a Proverb among the people, the Kirk is greedy?
A47150and is not that speaking in the Church?
A47150and is there any material difference betwixt this and the Service- book?
A47150and may they not exhort one another, and pray and give thanks together?
A47150and now the Lord is come to make the purge, and who of you can abide the day of his coming?
A47150and what do you here, seeking to uphold that which I am pulling down, and to bear down that which I am setting up?
A47150and when it''s offered to you to read, will ye not also do the like?
A47150and while the eye was kept open and single by the revelation of the Spirit of Truth, could the Dragon, or Whore, or Antichrist prevail over them?
A47150and while they kept here, did they not remain a pure chast Church unto Christ?
A47150and who were the builders?
A47150away with this; and why persecute ye such who are taught of God?
A47150can yee be said to disown them?
A47150can yee not preach elsewhere then in a Pulpit?
A47150could the many traditions or inventions get place, as the Ordinances of Christ, had they kept to the evidence and demonstration of the Spirit of God?
A47150did it not give the knowledge of the mysteries of God''s Kingdom unto them?
A47150did not the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation open the eyes of their understanding, to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge?
A47150did not they disown the Popish Assemblies, and their preaching and worship as idolatry, and forsake it?
A47150did they not live in the Spirit, walk after the Spirit?
A47150did they not raise up many false slanders and reports against them?
A47150for hath not this been her plea all along this dark night of Apostacy, that the Revelation, Teachings, and leadings of the Spirit of Chirst is ceased?
A47150for what can you answer them who query you, why ye separated from them, being a true Church, though corrupt, as ye call it?
A47150hath it not been the matter of your Prayers many a day, and do yee well to be angry, when it s so gloriously coming to pass?
A47150have ye the call of the Church?
A47150how are ye stripped, and your nakedness laid open?
A47150how can ye preach unless ye be called?
A47150how have ye turned from that which was the rock that followed your fathers, was their stay, was their Manna, was their Leader and Guid, their Moses?
A47150how shall I deliver thee, O people of Scotland?
A47150if ever the Lord called you to your Ministry, had man power to have taken it from you?
A47150is he not an able Minister, who hath his ability given him of God, though man hath not taught him, and yet ye can not?
A47150is he not well learned?
A47150is this the fruit ye bring forth to him, after he gave you deliverance from your enemies, and peace and rest round about?
A47150or if they had taken you away by violence, what hinders but yee may return to the flock, were not the fear of man over you?
A47150or is there any other put in your Pulpits, is that enough either?
A47150or rather, was not your Ministry even such as the former, of mens making, which stood in man''s wisdom, and taught of men, as among the very Papists?
A47150or rather, were they not the most rude, profane rabble and multitude of the world, the same whereof the Prelatical and popish frame was composed of?
A47150should Wives, Shoo- makers, Plow- men, Herds- men, be Ministers of Christ?
A47150should ignorant men preach?
A47150should not they hold them with their Callings?
A47150should they incroach upon our sacred Function?
A47150should yee have obeyed that unjust command?
A47150was your Ministry a spiritual Ministry?
A47150were they able Ministers of the new Testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirit( such as the Scriptures speak of?)
A47150were they called from heaven by the Revelation of Christ?
A47150were they living stones polished and smoothed by the power of God?
A47150were they men taught of God standing in his wisdom?
A47150what can they say, they are not learned?
A47150what shall become of the Senator?
A47150yea, and much more; how can they preach unless they believe?

A61639Can any man seriously look upon the hatred and scorn of that Light and Truth?
A61639For, whose eyes can behold all these things, without Dimnes and affecting of the heart?
A61639Hath not He made us and established us?
A61639How little wonder is it, that every visage( suppose of the fairest Nazarit) be blacker then a coale?
A61639How then can the Magistrat be Head of the Church, or supream Governor in all causes Ecclesiastical?
A61639If I had spent my dayes in groaning after my house from Heaven, would I have shifted so fair an occasion of being cloathed with it?
A61639If to them be committed the Ministery, Teaching, Exhorting, should they not themselves Wait upon these?
A61639Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?
A61639Must the Church have two Heads, or a Head above a Head?
A61639Oh Lord, what wilt thou do unto thy great Name?
A61639Or Submit to such whom we are bound to extirpate?
A61639Or shall Cruell Tyrants, who oppress or destroy the Common- wealth, and Bodies of men, have the Regulation of the Church,& of the Souls of men?

A61639how art thou abondoned?
A61639how soon did we forget the Works of the Lord?

A61639or evil Spirits in humane shape ▪ should haunt or hurt them, must Innocent people upon their invidious& false alleagance be therefore punished?

A61639will he who is false to God, be true to any man?
A61639— Tell the Church: Now the Civil Magistrat can not be this Church, where is He ever so termed?
A57857( I say not that this Phrase importeth no more than this?
A5785714. in a Book of so many diverse Editions: who can hope to find the place?
A5785729. are all Apostles?
A578573. where the seventy use it to signifie the Lords helping his People: what is this to the Purpose?
A578574. Who ever thought that the Confinement of a Pastor to a particular Charge, doth proceed from the nature of the Priesthood?
A57857Again, what Reason is there for the Necessity of Uniformity in Prayer, more than in Preaching?
A57857Again, what Warrant is there to say, that this is meant of the High Priest peculiarly?
A57857And if so, who is fit to Compose a Liturgie for others; which all Men must be tyed to?
A57857And if there were such Customes that then crept in, why might it not be so afterward?
A57857And is that nothing?
A57857And now where is the want of Candor in this case?
A57857And, pray, who ever said he was one?
A57857Are the Manner and Method of Worship Religious significant Ceremonies?
A57857Because they might have had Bishops to rule them; for what could hinder them?
A57857Can he produce any Word, or Passage in Jerome, from which this may be inferred?
A57857Can he tell us what Form of Words the Apostles used, when they Ordained Ministers; how plain and formal they were?
A57857Can he, or any man else, give any thing that looketh like a Warrant for this Imagination?
A57857Can not one dislike a greater and lesser Evil, unless his Aversion to both be equal?
A57857Did not our Lord foretell that Corruptions would insensibly creep into the Church, by this Parable of the Tares?
A57857Do not Ministers in any Church, succeed one to another, as well as Bishops?
A57857Doth any thing here look like Prelatical Principles?
A57857Doth this prove a perpetual Necessitie of that Office?
A57857For could not this unknown Person differ in the Apprehension of this Matter, from most, yea, from all his Contemporaries?
A57857For their Relation to Necessaries Things, how can it make them approved?
A57857Have not some striven for unlawful Preferments, as James and John did for a Dominion in the Church, like that of the Lords among the Gentiles?
A57857He doth injuriously insinuate that we require an immediate and express Institution for the Days that we will observe; where have we ever said so?
A57857He may believe what he will, who can be perswaded of this?
A57857His third Enquiry is, Whether we may safely lean on the Authority of the Ancients, in an Affair of this Consequence?
A57857How to make the parts of this Answer hang together, I know not: if the Heathen knew their way, why did they conceal it?
A57857How will he prove that all Nations were agreed about the Necessity and Usefulness of Holy Days?
A57857I ask him, how doth the Parity of Church power weaken this Argument?
A57857If every one of them may erre, why may they not all erre, seeing the Collective Body of them is made up only of infallible men?
A57857If the Civil Authority can introduce a ● i ● nificant Ceremony into the Worship of God, why may n ● t the Ecclesiastick Authority do it?
A57857Is it by Chance or by some inward Byasse that this Author stumbleth so often into Popish Principles?
A57857Is it not a good Consequence?
A57857It is most absurdly said, that Matthias was ordained by the Apostles; for if they had had power to ordain an Apostle, why made they use of Lots?
A57857It is, If a Ceremony have one Signification in Civil Actions, and another in Religious Worship; Quaeritur, Whether it maketh it lawful in Worship?
A57857Lastly, I ask, whether they who conveyed these Books to us could be deceived, or not?
A57857May not one who is a Presbyterian in his Profession, strive to set up Episcopacy, that he may be a Bishop?
A57857Or is it imaginable that Austine would after 400 years, or there about, speak so of that Distinction, if it were no newer?
A57857Pray Sir, when was this done, by whom, where, or to whom?
A57857The second Enquiry is, Whether the Scots Reformers, what ever were their Characters, were of the present Presbyterian Principles?
A57857We can answer his Arguments, and are willing to be Instructed by him, and attacked that way: But who can stand before this kind of Topicks?
A57857Were not the Apostles guided by the Spirit of Christ?
A57857Were they one and the same under the Law?
A57857What a sad Uncertainty and Confusion should follow on this Necessity of such Words?
A57857What can be more plain, than that these Fathers lookt on a Community of Church Rulers in Corinth, as having the power of Church Censures?
A57857What ground is there to say, that this ruling Power in Presbyters was but temporary, or that it ceased at the death of the Apostles?
A57857What if all this were yielded?
A57857What mighty Difficulty is in that?
A57857What sort of Church Government is best, and nearest to the Scripture Pattern?
A57857Whether in that case, have we any Standard for our Religion?
A57857Whether of the two entertain these Groundless Notions of the Deity, which are the Superstition that Poysoneth the Soul and all its Faculties?
A57857Whether we may not with Safety and Confidence lean on their Authority, and Tradition, in an Affair of this Consequence?
A57857Whether will mens furious Zeal for Humane Devices carry them?
A57857Which of us, then, go on the best grounds?
A57857Who can stand before such potent Ratiocinations?
A57857Who knoweth not what Debates are among Learned Men on this Head?
A57857Who of us ever said, that saying Blondel and Salmasius had ruined Episcopacy, was a sufficient Refutation of it?
A57857Whom do they Suffer to Enjoy Publick Livings who do not Conform to their Way, to the Height?
A57857Would he have us so good Natured as to think all is sound that he saith, whither it can be reconciled to any sound Sense, or not?
A57857Yea, we deny not all preferment in the Church: may not some ambitiously strive to be a Minister, or an Elder, yea, or a Deacon?
A57857and how Conjectural all the Knowledge is that can be attained by the most diligent Search?
A57857eng Monro, Alexander, d. 1715?
A57857it was then not only expedient but necessarie?
A57857optandum esset libertatem sex diebus operandi a Deo concessam in Ecclesiis retineri,& solum diem Dominicum feriatum esse?
A57857what gaineth he by it?
A57857whether the Apostles have any Successors at all, in the plenitude of that Power that they had over the Churches?
A57857whither they were for the Divine Institution of Parity; and the Unlawfulness of Prelacy among the Pastors of the Church?
A57857yea is not the whole Strain of this Passage contrarie to them?
A69753& c. If againe it be answered, that Pastorall Benediction, is mentioned in Scripture, first, what is that to Blessing of Marriages?
A69753866, affirmeth, that neither the presence of the Congregation, nor blessing of the Minister, is necessary to this action?
A69753And to what purpose is it to you, to know, to what member of your distinction, we referre the Articles of Pearth, and Episcopacy?
A69753And was this dealing agreable to that Christian meeknesse so much required of us before?
A69753And where ye aske of us, Why these tumults are not publickly by us condemned, and rebuked?
A69753And why doe they delay to give out some publicke Declaration, either in Print or writ, to this effect, being long since exhorted to doe so?
A69753And why doe ye not give some publick Document to the world, of your aversation of such Miscarriages?
A69753As for example; is Blessing of Marriages, a meere circumstance?
A69753But how shall this be?
A69753Doe ye not here cunningly deale with us?
A69753For, shall not the whole body of a Kingdom stirre pro aris& focis?
A69753His wordes to the people,( Con ● ione 1. contra Auxentium) are these; a Why, then, are ye troubled?
A69753How agreeth this with reason?
A69753How commeth it to passe, then, that this Ceremony is allowed, and used by some of you?
A69753How forcible are right words?
A69753How oft, Brethren, shall we exhort you to forbeare judging of other mens consciences, which are known to GOD onely?
A69753If all the Subscrivers; then what reason have we to receive an interpretation of that Confession from Laicks, ignorant people, and children?
A69753If it be wrong, why fasten ye not your censures upon the fountaine from which it is derived?
A69753If not, how can ye be free of Flattery, and of stirring up Princes against their loyall Subjects, for such ends as your selves know best?
A69753If our specification be right, why censure you it?
A69753If they allowe them, what reason have they so to doe?
A69753If ye be of this same judgement, with us, concerning the lawfulnesse of their Office, why doe ye not reverence them, as well as we?
A69753If ye thinke, that any defence, is lawfull, why misconstrue yee the Subscrivers of the Covenant?
A69753Is this the duety ye expect from us?
A69753Is this your meeknesse and charity?
A69753Now, which of these two sorts of scandall would ye have us to acknowledge, in the practise of Pearth Articles?
A69753Of Scandall; and whether or not we may deny obedience to the Lawes of our Superiours, for fear of scandal causelesly taken?
A69753Or if that part was not excepted, did ye put any new glosse upon it which it had not before?
A69753Or, last of all, If ye design no period of time at all?
A69753Quo jure enim licebit nobis dissolvere 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 Ecclesiasticam?
A69753Shall we then for a scandall causelesly taken, deny obedience to our superioures, and so incurre the guiltinesse of sin?
A69753Shall we, then, put the breach of the Oath in a fair hazard?
A69753Si Episcopi nobis concedant illa, quae aequum esse eos concedere?
A69753Sixtly, How can we concurre with you in an Oath, wherein we are infallibly perswaded that ye have abjured Pearth Articles, and Episcopacie?
A69753Supposing it were true, did he thinke the Noblemen, and whole Covenanters, to be the Authors of those Books?
A69753T ● libus institutus es Disciplinis, ut cui respondere non potueris, caput auferas;& linguam, quae tacere non potest seces?
A69753To which of the members of the distinction, we referre Pearth Articles and Episcopacy?
A69753We desire to understand of you, whether ye allow, or disallow, the Service Booke, and booke of Canons?
A69753We not onely asked of you, Whether or no ye did allowe the Miscarriages towards our Brethren of the holy Ministery, mentioned in our Demand?
A69753When doeth Satan labour more stronglie to ● hake ● ● d brangle our faith, then when we are exercised with bodily diseases?
A69753Whether the Precept of Obedience to Superioures, or the Precept of eschewing scandall, be more obligatory?
A69753Why are the Actors of them not tryed, and censured?
A69753Why are the Actors of them not tryed, and censured?
A69753Why feareth he not, that the Earth should open, and swallow him, or that thunder should come from Heaven, and burn up that accusing tongue?
A69753a Quid ergo turbamini?
A69753and what is that period of tyme, to which your words there have reference?
A69753but what doth your arguing reprove?
A69753if they were abjured for ever, before Pearth ▪ Assembly, how is it that ye have admitted and practised them, since that time; for this were Perjury?
A69753or if it be the time, when Pearth Articles, and Episcopacy, were received in this Church?
A69753or shall our Religion be ruined, and our Light be put out, and all men holde their peace?
A69753or, if it be a Ceremony, what praecept or practise have ye of it in GOD''S whole word?
A69753that is, Whether all the Subscrivers, or onely those Ministers conveened in EDINBURGH, in the end of Februarie, who set it down?
A69753that is, Whether it be that period of time, when the Service Book, and Book of Canons, were urged upon you?
A69753that is, whether they most necessarilie be omitted in all Churches, and at all times, or not?
A69753who can be so impudent, as to say ● o?
A69753— Adversum impiissimos Celsum atque Po ● phyrium quanti scripsere nostrorum?
A3047814. all who were against him in that Field, were declared innocent, and his slaughter was declared to be his own fault, which was never rescinded?
A30478And are not you an impugner of the Authority of the three Estates, who plead thus for the King''s Sovereign Power?
A30478And dare you say, Isotimus, that these were a stupid self- murdering Crew?
A30478And do not your Ministers thus tyrannize over their Elders?
A30478And finally, where the commands of the Magistrate are manifestly unlawful, how far should the Church, and Church men, oppose and contradict them?
A30478And he adds, If the like were to be done at Carthage, what would become of all the thousands were there, of every Sex, Age and Rank?

A30478And, pra ●, whether had this more of the cruelty of Antichrist, or of the meekness of IESUS?
A30478Are the Maurs, the Marcomans, or the Parthians themselves, or any Nations shut up within their own Country or bounds, more than the whole World?

A51064And what must the privileges and the comforts be which follow upon and flow from this?
A51064Are you afraid that b ● sid ● s ● hese lashings you shall also be put to lose, for his sake?

A51064If this were keept in the view of the soul, what strength would it furnish?
A51064Is it not the purity of their malice and perfection of their hatred against Christ as King, which pouseth them on,& Prompts them to this persecution?
A51064Leave thee Lord?
A51064Nay, what if you should be slaine for the word of God, and put to swime in to eternitie, in a sea of your own blood; what have you to feare?
A51064Nay, what of desire and love to the world, and the things ther ● of?
A51064Need I tell you, in whose hand the power is, or of what spirit and principles these men are, after all the desolation they have made amongst you?
A51064Neither is he demurred nor diverted, much lesse turned out of the way of following the Lord fully, because there is a lyon in it?
A51064O how corroborating is such an expectation?
A51064O vain attempt?
A51064O what can be gaine, where ● he ● ainer is eternally lost?
A51064O what weight of sorrowes and variety of sufferings did he undergoe, both in his life and at his death?
A51064Or were we wakened out of our dreame of halcyon dayes of liberty,& c. when the blood of these wor hies was shed?
A51064Or, hath he deserted one of all the sufferers?
A51064Pharaoh said, who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice, to let Israel go?
A51064Secondly, what may be our hope of a delivery from them?
A51064That H ● was a King ● This Question is put to day unto his followers, with greater contempt than Pilat put it, What, and is Iesus a King then?
A51064That he should be crowned with thornes, to purchase them an immortal Crown,& they crowned with roses?
A51064That we may learn at them?
A51064Thirdly, this is the way, to preserve unitie amongst the remnant: do we not know, that their dainties are decei ● ful meat?
A51064Truely, to say nothing of the after glory,( for who can say what it is, since it is above apprehensions?
A51064Were it seemly, that he who bore their burdens, should wade and swime thorow ● eas of sorrows, and they sail in streames of pleasure?
A51064Were we ashamed to be seen without the teare in our eye?
A51064What Lifelesnesse?
A51064What Pressoures were upon him?
A51064What if you should weep, yea and die in prisons?
A51064What lusting and longing after the things of this life?
A51064What pinches was he put to?
A51064What should I say?
A51064What stiring up of one another to mourne together and apart, was there, when now the glory was departed?
A51064What striveing, to get on a load of thick Clay?
A51064What support would it supply the spirit of a sufferer for Christ with?
A51064What ● istlesnesse appeares in their pursuings?
A51064Where are the evid ● nces of our love and loyaltie to Jesus Christ?
A51064Whither shall we go from thee, for thou hast the words of eternal life?
A51064Would you want the share of the commendation, and the glorious reward, that shall be given his witnesses?
A51064Yea, how quickly do they sit up, or turne aside out of the way of following the Lord fully?
A51064against him, who then shall judge them?
A51064and arisen to such a height against us: What then doeth such a stroke?
A51064and hath he such a tittle and right to it?
A51064and how did he, by the marvellous supporting of his Grace, perfect praise out of the mouth of such babes and sucklings?
A51064and sh ● ll not the Zeal of Iehovah performe it?
A51064and the words added, or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
A51064and, what do you think to gaine by it?
A51064are resolveable in this other question, wh ● ● ● ha ● h a man lost, if he should lose the whole world, and save his own s ● ul?
A51064are they extant?
A51064are they u ● on record?
A51064but how by standing by them, and strengthning them, did he still the enemy and avenger?
A51064did our eye affect our heart, to see our blessed Lord Jesus put to more open shame, in our land, then ever he had been put to in the earth?
A51064do we not know, that their most seemingly tender mercies are really keen crueltie?
A51064hath he purposed it, and shall it not come to passe?]
A51064hath he sworne it?
A51064how doe they, who escape such grosse pollutions, yet often trifle in the matter of communion with God?
A51064onely let me aske you what you would do for Christ himself, if he were so dealt with?
A51064or did our carriage witnesse we were willing to lay them down, and lose them, as a Testimony against the wrong done to our Master?
A51064or had vve no use for them but, that they might keep ● tvvo eyes in them, to mourne?
A51064or to withstand them?
A51064see, if you can say it: why then are you daunted with danger?
A51064should we joine again with the persons of these abominations, and breake his covenant?
A51064was the disciples deliberat and warme answer to that heart- moving question, will you also leave me?
A51064what can we say?
A51064what holy courage?
A51064what humble boasting?
A51064what patience in tribulation should this produce?
A51064what should we say?
A51064what strugling?
A51064what triumphing and rejoyceing to be offerred up a sacrifice upon the Interest of this Kings Crown?
A51064whereby the soul of him, who is thus loaded, is put out of case often for following hard after God, and so runing as he may obtain?
A51064why do you doubt, but he who hath glorified his name in others, will glorifie it again, in you?
A51064will he not heare the voice of such weeping?
A51064will there be a soul at that appearance, who dare avouch his having had a hand, in framing such a mische ● fe as our Supremacy into a Law?
A51064will you suffer him and his to hold their Assemblies in the wildernesse, in some mosse or Mountain?
A51064would he not be angry with us till he had consumed us?
A51064would you have wish ● d, that the delivery of Scotland should have gone before this your distresse?
A51064yea or vvith our heads upon us, vvhen the crovvn vvas taken from our Master''s head?
A418423dly, is not eternal communion with God a noble advantage?
A418424. who sate at the gate of Samaria; who said, Why sit we here till we dye?
A418424thly, is not eternal liberation from the body of death a great advantage?
A41842Ah, Turn you, turn you, why will you dye?
A41842Alas, shall you be such wretches also?
A41842And I say, to you who have thus delayed, will you yet embrace it?
A41842And I would ask of all that are here, what a sight have ye gotten of Christ to day?
A41842And is not this a great effect to make us who were darkness become light in the Lord?
A41842And is thy opinion and thoughts of saving thy self, less than they were before thou camest hither?
A41842And must not this salvation be sutable to him who is the Author of it?
A41842And what think you is his exercise this day?
A41842And why then do ye not take him?
A41842And would not all the Patriarchs say unto you, O embrace the great salvation?
A41842Are there any but they most acknowledge they come under this second rank?
A41842Are there any here that will refuse to commend him?
A41842Are there no monyless folk here to day?
A41842Are there none here to day who are called weary?
A41842Are there therefore any here to day that would have victory over the Devil, and over their own heart?
A41842Are ye saying, I must now delay( and not receive this great salvation) till my Harvest be by and over?
A41842Are you brought to the conviction of this, that you are yet in the gall of bitterness?
A41842Are you neither blinde nor lame?
A41842Are you not weary in pursuit of your sins?
A41842Art thou a person who beginneth to weep because thou hast been so long a stranger to Christ, and the great salvation?
A41842Art thou afraid at the wrath of God?
A41842Art thou afraid of hell?
A41842But I would only ask of such, Have you any lawful excuse why you will not come and partake of this great salvatiou?
A41842But O will you not take it?
A41842But are there none here who are heavy- loaden with sin, with misery, and estrangement from God?
A41842But as for you who have no resolutions to embrace this great salvation, O wherewith shall I commend it unto you?
A41842But if nothing can perswade you to come away and embrace it, then this place shall be an heap of witnesses against you?
A41842But, oh shall the prison doors be cast open, and yet none come forth?
A41842Can any of you say any thing to the discommendation of it?
A41842Can ye ever have a more conquering sight of Christ than when he is cloathed with such an excellent robe, and offering you salvation?
A41842Can ye imagine any answer to that question?
A41842Could ye ask at Abel, would he not say, O embrace the great salvation?
A41842Dare ye go out at these doors and neglect the great salvation?
A41842Dare ye send a charge to Christ, and say ye will defie him?
A41842Did you ever see such excellent robes as these must be?
A41842Do not your own necessities commend it?
A41842Dost thou fear that thou shalt be poor?
A41842Fifthly, Those who are heavy- loaden are invited to come,( and I think all of you may answer to this name) are you heavy- loaden?
A41842Fifthly, is not eternal singing in the enjoyment of God a great advantage?
A41842First, is not heaven a noble advantage?
A41842From whence then doth salvation flow unto you?
A41842Have I it not already?
A41842Hence it is that the Apostle putteth himself among the rest, saying, How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?
A41842Here is the great salvation, here is the offer of it, and here is the commendation of it; what say you to it?
A41842I know you can not; Yea, I dare say, your own hearts are admiring it as most excellent; and therefore, O will ye accept it?
A41842I mean not that money or coin in your purses; but want ye money?
A41842I say, are ye so poor that ye have nothing but the fear of hell?
A41842I say, will you still neglect and despise it?
A41842I tell and declare unto you, I shall be a witness against you, if ye embrace not the great salvation; Now old men, are ye perswaded to embrace it?
A41842Is it not a most glorious salvation?
A41842Is it not an excellent salvation?
A41842Is not this a great effect to make us who were enemies, become friends?
A41842Is not this a great effect to make us who were far off, to be now made near?
A41842Is not this a great effect to make us who were moving in the way to hell, move in the way to heaven?
A41842Is not this a great effect( of this Gospel salvation) to bring us out of nature into an estate of grace?
A41842Is there a person within these doors who dare but acknowledge that he hath slighted this great salvation, and delayed to embrace it?
A41842Is there not peace to be found in through this salvation?
A41842Is thy desire after the great salvation increased, be what it was in the morning?
A41842Is thy estymation of the great salvation increased, be what it was in the morning when thou camest hither?
A41842Is thy thoughts of thy necessity of the great salvation greater than they were?
A41842It is almost six thousand years since Abel fell into a sea of wonder at this great salvation?
A41842May I now have it, saist thou?
A41842Ninthly, Are there any here to day who know not their name, or their condition?
A41842Now are there any here who will be so gross slighters of this great salvation?
A41842Now are there any of you here to day, who are called willing?
A41842Now are there none here who fall under this first rank of slighters of the great salvation?
A41842Now can ye say any thing against Christ, who is the Author of this great salvation?
A41842Now is there a person here, who dare deny this charge, that he is a slighter of this great salvation?
A41842Now is there any of you that have fallen in love with the great salvation, that ye may try your selves?
A41842Now peace or war, which of them will ye choose?
A41842Now therefore is the bargain closed, or will ye go away before ye take this great salvation?
A41842Now what resolution mind ye to go away with to day?
A41842Now what say ye to it, old men?
A41842Now where are your hearts at this time?
A41842Now where do you find your name and sirname?
A41842Now will ye enquire at your selves, Am I the person that will give my birth- right for a mess of pottage?
A41842Now will you shed one tear for your estrangement?
A41842O Sirs, will ye not come and take this great salvation, this dear salvation?
A41842O captives and prisoners, and you who are in the bonds of Satan, Will you come and partake of this great salvation, and you shall be made free?
A41842O do you not know it?
A41842O shall our cursed hearts undervalue this compleat salvation that is come to your door?
A41842O slighter of the Gospel, how many alasses wilt thou cry, when thou shalt be passing thorow these dark gates into thy everlasting prison?
A41842O tell me, have ye seen him?
A41842O that strong bar of hardness of heart, when shall the Omnipotent hand of God break it?
A41842O what a dreadful sound is that?
A41842O what a sight was that, to behold the Prince of Heaven cloathed with our nature?
A41842O what do you say to this offer?
A41842O what robes are these?
A41842O who would not praise him, who is the author of this great salvation?
A41842O will none of you this day embrace it?
A41842O will ye be perswaded to look to Christ, and so to take him?
A41842O will you despise it?
A41842Oh ha ● e ye not need of great salvation?
A41842Oh shall the great salvation that ye have flighted so long, be slighted this day also, and shall there be none to embrace it?
A41842Oh will you not come foth?
A41842Old men that are here, How long have you been strangers to the great salvation, and to the Author of it?
A41842Old women, what will you answer when he shall say to you, Why slighted you the great salvation?
A41842Or do you think to see him this day?
A41842Or have ye this resolution?
A41842Or is this your resolution, that through Christs strength( forsake him who will) ye will never forsake him?
A41842Produce your strong arguments; Are there any here who have any thing to say against him?
A41842Say to it, are there none of you who( for all this) will consent to partake of this great salvation?
A41842Secondly, Is not Jesus Christ a notable advantage?
A41842Seventhly, Are there any who are called lame here to day?
A41842Seventhly, It is a most advantagious salvation: What are the advantages of any salvation that are not to be found in this?
A41842Should ye ask at Adam, would he not say, O embrace this great salvation?
A41842Sixthly, Are there any here to day who are called blind?
A41842Sixthly, is not eternal seeing of God as he is, a great and noble advantage?
A41842That is, Want ye righteousness?
A41842That there are many within the visible Church who are neglecters and slighters of this great salvation;( do ye not all take with it?)
A41842That ye will esteem more highly of this great salvation then ever ye did?
A41842They have rejected the word of the Lord,( and immediately it is subjoyned) And what wisdom is in them?
A41842They would not mutter the song, nor sign silently; but cryed with a loud voice: And what did they cry?
A41842Thinkest thou that thou hast more need of the great salvation than ever thou thoughtest before?
A41842Thirdly, are there any moneyless folk here to day?
A41842To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear?
A41842Was it ever the rejoycing of your hearts that Christ dyed and rose again?
A41842Was not the Justice of God to be satisfied?
A41842What great impediments( suppose ye) lay in Christs way before he could accomplish and bring about this great salvation?
A41842What holdeth you in?
A41842What holds you from coming away and partaking of it?
A41842What knowest thou O man or Woman, but this shall be the last Sermon that ever thou shalt hear concerning this great salvation?
A41842What must I give for it, say ye?
A41842What needeth all these exhortations?
A41842What robes hath he on?
A41842What say ye to it?
A41842What then did he with them?
A41842What wait ye for?
A41842Whosoever will, let him come: But Oh, are there none here to day who are named willing?
A41842Why then do ye not welcome it?
A41842Why will you sligh this great salvation?
A41842Will there be any( shall I think) here that will refuse to come forth?
A41842Will ye look to the price that was laid down for this salvation?
A41842Will ye slight this great salvation, and embrace your idols, which shall once prove a crown of thorns unto you?
A41842Wilt thou not then cry out, O me( a slighter of the everlasting salvation) whether am I now going?
A41842Wilt thou therefore think presently with thy self( O thou slighter of this great salvation) what wilt thou say of thy slighting it?
A41842Woe unto thee O Ierusalem; Wilt thou not be made clean?
A41842Would ye ask at all the Saints that are above, would they not advise you to embrace the great salvation?
A41842Would ye be eternally happy?
A41842Would ye be honourable?
A41842Would you know who is the Author of this great salvation?
A41842Yea, would ye be rich?
A41842Young Men and young women, inquire at your own hearts, what you will answer, when Christ shall say to you, why slighted ye the great salvation?
A41842and cry out, Woe is me that Christ and I have been so long a sunder?
A41842and was he not to bear the torments of hell before this great salvation could be accomplished and brought to pass?
A41842and yet for all this, shall we be sent away without one consent to embrace or receive it?
A41842doth my heart say, I will sell my birth right, because I am hungered and ready to dye, what will it profit me?
A41842for what report can Christ carry back but this?
A41842in which of all these robes have ye seen him?
A41842is it not a free salvation?
A41842is it not a great salvation?
A41842is it not a most excellent salvation that is in your offer?
A41842is it not an eternal salvation?
A41842is it not lovely now?
A41842is there any person here that hath any lawful excuse to present?
A41842is there any thing can afford you any satisfaction but this great salvation?
A41842is there not eternal enjoyment of God to be found through this salvation?
A41842is there not liberty to be found through this salvation?
A41842is thy estimation of the great gospel salvation a foot higher then it was in the morning?
A41842or are there none here who will confess that they have gone about to establish their own righteousness?
A41842was he not to dye, and to be made like unto one of us?
A41842was he not to lie in the grave?
A41842when shall it once be?
A41842will ye come and partake of the great salvation?
A41842will ye flighter after it?
A41842will ye make this a rejoycing day in heaven, that is a fasting day unto you?
A41842will you but read that dreadful word?
A594681. p. 229. k Quae autem causa veniendi& Pseudo- Episcopum contra Episcopos factumnuntiandi?

A59468Again, How often did the Presbytery of Rome meet, in the Interval between Fabianus his Death, and Cornelius his Promotion?
A59468Again, If a Bishop, in St. Cyprian''s time, was no more than a single Presbyter, in the Presbyterian Sense, what needed so much work about him?
A59468Again; What could move him to insinuate, that we assign the sole Power of Iurisdiction and Ordination to our Diocesan Bishop?
A59468And all the Clergy and Christians of Rome, nay sooner or later, of all the Christian World, engaged in the Quarrel?
A59468And all the rest should be Accountable, and Subordinate to him?
A59468And as for Acolyths, how often do we find them mentioned in Cyprian''s Epistles?
A59468And as for the Presbyterian Moderator, In what sense can he be called Supreme, or Independent, or Unaccountable?
A59468And did not he himself Suspend Philumenus and Fortunatus, two Subdeacons, and Favorinus an Acolyth, from their Livings?
A59468And did not the Presbytery of Carthage meet frequently, during the time of St. Cyprian''s Secession?
A59468And have I not justified him in this, and made it manifest to a Demonstration, that herein he did not stretch his Power too far?
A59468And how concernedly doth he Reason the Case in his Book of the Unity of the Church?
A59468And said so, so boldly?
A59468And that however some of the Names might have been, yet the Church- Power and Dominion, signified by them, was not then in Being?
A59468And then, Were not Cornelius and Novatianus Presbyters of Rome, before the former was the Tr ● e, and the latter the False Bishop of that City?
A59468And this too, to be performed by none but Moderators of other Presbyteries?
A59468And was there not here as clear an Evidence, that Regularly, and in the current Form, all Letters were directed to the Bishop?
A59468And were not all his Reas ● nings founded on these Principles?
A59468And what can be more clear, or full, than his excellent Discourse at the opening of the Council of Carthage, Anno 256?
A59468And what was there to hinder them from having one, if they had a mind for him?
A59468And who so proper to judge of these Matters, as the Chief Governour of the Society?
A59468Antonianus asked of St. Cyprian, what was Novatianus his Heresie?
A59468As that raising an Altar against his Altar, and his only, should have been deem''d Raising an Altar against all Catholick Christian Altars?
A59468As that to him, and to him alone, all such Letters have been directed?
A59468Between a Power Superiour to all other Powers, and a Power Exclusive of all other Powers?
A59468But did not Cyprian shew too much Zeal in this Cause?
A59468But how did he write?
A59468But now, after all, what thô he has said so?
A59468But then, suppose the worst; Suppose Novatus had really Ordained Felicissimus, what stress is to be laid on the Example of a Schismatick?
A59468But to let this pass, Had that Author any solid Ground for saying so?
A59468But what could that Something else have been?
A59468But what needs more?
A59468But what shall I say to the Consistency of our Author''s Definition with the third Principle I named?
A59468But you may say, Did not the Roman Presbytery Conveen, during the Vac ● ● cy, after the Death of Fabianus?
A59468But you may say, These Instances extend no further than to Deacons, or more inferiour Clergy- men; but, What is this to Presbyters?
A59468Can he seem to himself, says he, to be with Christ, who is against Christ''s Priests?
A59468Could he have been said to have been Their Bishop?
A59468Could they have been called HIS Clergy?
A59468Cui enim possit non esse Miraculo, tam memoriosae mentis oblivio?
A59468Did he not thereafter admit them to his most intimate Friendship and Familiarity, to the Astonishment of many?
A59468Do you think his bare saying so is enough to determine our Question?
A59468Especially when what he did was done Schismatically?
A59468Farther: What need of so much Parade about the Election of a Moderator of a Presbytery, as was then about the Election of a Bishop?
A59468For why may not a Ruling Elder be a Moderator?
A59468Has he a Supreme Power in a Society, who, as such, has no imaginable Iurisdiction over any one Member of that Society?
A59468Has our Author been a more diligent Searcher into Antiquity, than those great Antiquaries were, that he was thus able to contradict their Discoveries?
A59468How can he be called the Principle of Unity to a Church, who, as such, is neither Pastor, Head, nor Governour of a Church?
A59468How can he be said to be Accountable to God only, who is Accountable to the Presbytery?
A59468How can he be said to have the Sublime and Divine Power of Governing the Church, who, as such, is no Church Governour?
A59468How can he be said to have 〈 ◊ 〉 Unaccountable Power, who can be Voted out of his Chair with the same Breath with which he was Voted into it?
A59468How could one raised to such a Post, I say, have been no other than a Single Presbyter, or a Presbyterian Moderator?
A59468How could they, without one, handle Matters with Order and Decency?
A59468How easie is it to distinguish between a Sole and a Chief Power?
A59468How easie were it, I say, for one to insist on such Escapes, if he had a mind for it?
A59468How fully might this Point be proved, if it were needful?
A59468How then can it be said, That the Bishop had the sole Power of Convocating Presbyters?
A59468How was it their Concern, who was Moderator of the Presbytery?
A59468I answer,''T is true, it was so in both Cases: But how?
A59468I know,''t is controverted whether a Bishop, in those Times, was Chosen by the People, or only in the presence of the People?
A59468If he had been Claiming a Sovereign Power, without any Pretence of Right to it?
A59468If he had been driving at a Prelacy, when the Government of the Church belonged to Presbyters acting in Parity?
A59468If so, what need of a new Election, and a new Ordination for making them Presbyters of a Church, of which they were Presbyters already?
A59468If they were not Subjected to his Authority, nor Obnoxious to his Discipline?
A59468In what sense can he be said to be raised to the Sublime Top of the Priesthood?
A59468Indeed, what is it else than the very Extract of Nonsense, and Cream of Contradiction?
A59468Is he, as such, raised to the Sublime Top of the Preisthood, who, as such, may be no Priest at all?
A59468Lay these two Accounts together, and then tell me, if these Presbyters were not Obnoxious to his Discipline?
A59468May not a Bishop, and his Diocess, be called a Pastor and a Flock, in as great propriety of Speech, as a Presbyterian Minister and his Parish?
A59468Might not the Forty Six, who lived in Rome, have served the turn?
A59468Might not these Forty Six, I say, have filled Fabianus his Room with far greater Ease and Expedition?
A59468Might they not have chosen one as safely as they met?
A59468Might they not have chosen one at every Meeting, according to the Principles of Parity?
A59468Nay, is it not confessed, that, as Moderator, he was no Church- Governour at all?
A59468Nay, who may be such, and yet no Christian?
A59468Not so neither; for by what Propriety of Speech can a Moderator of a Presbytery, as such, be called the Principle of Unity to a Church?
A59468Now, I say, by what Propriety of Speech could a Bishop have been called Praepositus, Superiour to his Clergy?
A59468Now, Sir, if one had a mind to catch at Words, what a Field might he have here?
A59468Once more, How loose and Ambiguous is that part of his Definition of a Bishop, in St. Cyprian''s time, in which he calls him, The Pastor of a Flock?
A59468Or allowing them to continue in it?
A59468Or rather, had it been possible for him to have said so, had he had but an ordinary Acquaintance with St. Cyprian, or his Epistles?
A59468Or to be Accountable to God only?
A59468Or to have an Exors Potestas, an Unaccountable Power?
A59468Or to have the Sublime and Divine Power of Governing the Church?
A59468Or, supposing that should have had small Weight with them, is Power such a gustless Thing, that Men will easily part with it without any Reason?

A59468Shall I give you another History to clear this Matter further?
A59468So negligent, shall I say?
A59468Than by so multiplying the Principles of Unity, to leave no Unity at all?
A59468Than, in stead of One Principle of Unity to an Organized Body, to set up 46 Principles of Division?
A59468That he had no Iurisdiction over his Brethren?
A59468That he took not too much on him?
A59468That his Power was only Ordinative, not Decisive?
A59468That there could be but One Bishop, at once, in a Church?
A59468That thou shouldest arraign Bishops before thy Tribunal?
A59468The Question was, Whether Baptism performed by Hereticks, or Schismaticks, was Valid?
A59468Their Governour?
A59468Their Ruler?
A59468To be the Mouth of the Meeting, not to be their Will, or Commanding Faculty?
A59468To keep Order in the Manner and Managing of what came before them, not to determine what was Debated amongst them?
A59468To what Purpose was it for them to go to Rome to tell you, that they had set up a false Bishop against the Bishops?
A59468What Arrogance of Spirit?
A59468What Benefits, or what Harm, could redound to them by ones being Moderator of the Presbytery, whatever he was?
A59468What Haughtiness is this?
A59468What can be more Detrimental to a Society, especially such a Society as a Christian Church, than admitting Unworthy Persons to the Priviledges of it?
A59468What can be more plain than''t is here, That no Sacraments could be Administred but in dependance on the Bishop a?
A59468What had this been other than the very Mystery of Ridiculousness?
A59468What is this but reconciling Contradictions?
A59468What need of Convocating so many from the Neighbourhood for managing the Election of a Moderator, E. g. for the Presbytery of Rome?
A59468What needed the Church of Rome to make such work about supplying such a Vacancy as was there, before Cornelius was Promoted?
A59468What pretence, then, could the People have to Interest themselves in his Election?
A59468What was his Influence, De jure, at least, in the Government of the Church, more than the Influence of any other Member of the Presbytery?
A59468What was the People''s Interest?
A59468When did a Scotish Bishop offer, e. g. to Ordain or Depose a Presbyter, without the Concurrence of other Presbyters?
A59468When did any of our Bishops attempt to Exercise it?
A59468When did our Bishops claim that sole Power?
A59468When was it ascribed to them by the Constitution?
A59468When was such a sole Power deem''d Necessary for Raising a Bishop to all the due Elevations of the Episcopal Authority?
A59468Whether He or They had acted beyond their Lines?
A59468Who can think on these Things without smiling?
A59468Who separates himself from the Society of Christ''s Clergy and People?
A59468Who, as such, has no direct, immediate, or formal Relation to a Church?
A59468Who, as such, is only the Chair- man, the Master- Speaker, not of the Church, but of the Presbytery?
A59468Why a Convention of Sixteen Neighbouring Bishops to give him Holy Orders?
A59468Why no Canonical Vacancy of his Moderatorial Chair, unless in the case of Death, Cession, or Forfeiture?
A59468Why so?
A59468Why the People chose him, according to the Principles of those, who think that St. Cyprian was for Popular Elections?
A59468Why then were the People so much concern''d about him?
A59468Why, so much stress laid upon only one Moderator in a City?
A59468Why?
A59468Why?
A59468Why?
A59468Would he not have been ashamed to have used them, if he, and not his Presbyters, had been guilty of the Usurpations he was Condemning?
A59468Would you have yet more?
A59468s And can we think, that Rogatianus, B ● itius, and Numidicus, were ignorant of this?
A59468t And now, let any Man consider, whether St. Cyprian or these Presbyters had been in the Wrong before?
A59468y Would you have yet more?
A59468— Et Lapsis quidem potest in hoc venia concedi: Quis enim no ● ● mortuus vivificari properet?
A47908( But what if they will not consent to give Accompt?)
A47908( as who should say: the times are Ill God wot, already, and likely to be worse) what a Buzze is here, with a Sting in the Tayle of it?
A47908( for that''s the point) What signifies the Multitude, but a number of single Persons, where each Individual acts, and accompts for himself?
A47908( says St. Paul) Is the Law, Sin?
A47908All Popular Attempts upon change of Government, are hazzardous to the Undertakers; are there therefore no Rebellions?
A47908And has not the Practice of These men made good the worst that any man can say, or think of their Designe?
A47908And if you may mistake in any thing, may it not be in as great things as these?
A47908And still we lose;( I would I could not say) with Reason too: for what''s Presbytery, but a more shameful and Intolerable Popery?
A47908And their Thanks- giving- feasts, and Sermons; — were they not Entertainments, and Discourses, of Joy, and Triumph for the Disasters of his Majesty?
A47908Are not their Contradictions upon Record?
A47908Are not( in good time be it spoken) your very Vows, and Covenants, arrant Riddles?
A47908Are we not All made of the same Lump; —( — born to the same Ends: — Dignify''d with the same Reason?
A47908At This Rate, what do they offer, in a Primitive Episcopacy?
A47908But all this while, why a Petition for PEACE?
A47908But does not the Church know our consciences as well as we know one anothers?
A47908But how have they submitted?
A47908But is Re- ordination( say they) so new and strange a thing?
A47908But it is better to obey God then Man, they''l tell us, Has the Church any jurisdiction over our souls?
A47908But what need we look further then our own Memories?
A47908But what( say I) if Christ should find Schismaticks kept in for able Ministers?
A47908But why to the People first?
A47908But will you see now how that Noble Prelate was bayted by five of our new- fangled Primitive Bishops?
A47908Call you This, Beating down of Popery and Prophannesse?
A47908Can any thing be beneficial to Particular Persons, that is Destructive to the Community?
A47908Can it be expected, that we should all be past erring about the smallest Ceremonies and Circumstances of Worship?
A47908Can the whole Perish; and the Parts''scape?
A47908Can you tell me Whether old Olivers Physicians or his Intelligencers, had the better Trade on''t?
A47908Content; What is it to be Factious, but to promote, and stir up Disaffections against the stated Government?
A47908Did ever Presbyters set footing any where, and Blood or Slavery not go along with it?
A47908Did not we swear, than an Impulse of Conscience transported us into our first Engagement?
A47908Do not Pharisee, and Puritan begin with a Letter?
A47908Do these men Preach, and yet complain of a Restraint?
A47908Do they not daily Preach, Write, Print against Episcopacy; in opposition to the Express Intent, and Letter of the foresaid Declaration?
A47908Do they not now expect to reap the fruits of their Disloyal Labours?
A47908Do they not prejudge the Synod, to which that Declaration referrs them?
A47908Do we not find mens Minds, and Humours as various as their Complexions, or their Faces?
A47908Do we say People may not be compell''d?
A47908Does not our Blessed Saviour himself bid us, BEWARE of the Leven of the Pharisees which is HYPOCRISY?
A47908Does not our Saviour tell us, his Kingdome is not of this World?
A47908Does not this way of Reasoning, root up all Government?
A47908First, VVithout Repentance can there be any Salvation?
A47908For at the Beginning was, nor Peasant, nor Prince; And who( the Divel) made the Distinction since?
A47908For, when the Holy War was finish''d, did not you fall together by the Ears, among your selves, about the meaning of it?
A47908HAd Zimri Peace that slew his Master?
A47908Had Zimri Peace?
A47908Had it not been a most preposterous course, to have directed the manner of our Worship, before they had laid the foundation of our Faith?
A47908Had not these Gentlemen now as good have let the old Bishop alone, as have taken the Dorr?
A47908Have they been faithful to their Friends?
A47908How do they know?
A47908How much more then when he says to Thee, — Wash and be clean?]
A47908How shall I reconcile that Reverence I bear your Character, with the just Indignation due to your Actings?
A47908If Christ( they say) should find that able Minister cast out for a Schismatick?
A47908If a Papist asks a Presbyterian where his Religion was two hundred years agoe?
A47908In fine; Where did our Saviour either command, or forbid any Particular Posture of the Body?
A47908Is Bishop Hall so much emprov''d since he Dy''d?
A47908Is That the Piece shall rise in Judgement against us?
A47908Is This according to the Rule?
A47908Is This your Gospell- work to provoke Subjects against their Soveraign?
A47908Is This, Conscience?
A47908Is Treason, Blood, and Sacriledge, so Light, and yet the Common- Prayer- Book, or a blameless Ceremony, a Burthen so Intolerable?
A47908Is it not That you mean?
A47908Is it not for matter and Phrase at least as agreeable to the holy Scriptures?
A47908Is not this Character most bitterly like the humour of the men we wote of?
A47908Is that it then they would be at?
A47908Is this fair Play my Masters?
A47908It seems a Presbyter in the Chayre, is not Infallible: why may they not mistake themselves as well in the Bishops opinion as in his Character?
A47908It seems they do not like the Form of the Church: — nor the Church Theirs; where lyes the Authority betwixt them?
A47908It will be urg''d perhaps, What has this scribling Fellow to do with the publick?
A47908Lastly, where lies the necessity of insisting upon so many variations, as are already prov''d to be utterly unnecessary?
A47908May they not argue likewise from our Practises, against our own Demands?
A47908Must we not therefore Pray at all: for want of a strict Scriptural Direction in what Posture?
A47908Next; Why so many?
A47908Now what''s all this, to the Exteriour mode of Worshipping?
A47908Now, put the case, they would Conform: should That give them a Title to the Continuance of an Ill- got Possession?
A47908Now, why should others trouble us, only for doing That which in our places they would do Themselves?
A47908OUr Liturgy was very much to blame sure: Seventy Six Quarto- Pages to reform it?
A47908Once more for All; what is the Kings Person to the Church- Ceremonies?
A47908Once more; who knows but they have chose this Juncture, for some yet more malicious ends?
A47908Or do you know who it was that was so monstrous Earnest to have had me to Bridewell for my CAVEAT?
A47908Or may they not forget their Proposalls they have offer''d, as well as the Injuries?
A47908Or will they shew, wherever he pass''d a Contradiction upon himself?
A47908Pray''e what''s the difference betwixt Addition to Gods Worship, in Words, or in Actions?
A47908Put these together, and what would this Allowance fall short of a Presbyterian Government?
A47908Rule with his Presbyters,( they cry) and will not that content him?
A47908Say Gentlemen Commissioners, may not a Christian without breach of Charity, suspect a Second Part to the same Tune, from such Reformers?
A47908Secondly, VVhy will not you swear to obey Bishops, as well as ye Covenanted to destroy them?
A47908Shall we be laid aside now for our Consciences?
A47908So that in fine, if the Church can not grant, what the Reformers can not but ask; Whether shall the Law yield to a Faction, or the Faction to the Law?
A47908Submission?
A47908Suppose them not bound to hinder all Non- Conformists, are they therefore bound to admit all?
A47908That is, Whether shall One be the Judge of all the Rest; or all the Rest be the Judge of that One?
A47908That prostitutes so many Millions of Free- born Christians, to the Command of any Single Person?
A47908The Church, for Order sake, and Uniformity, enjoyns one form, or Posture; This, or That,''t is Indifferent; where lyes the Conscience of Refusing?
A47908The Liberties you challenge, must be allow''d again by You to the People: and where''s your Holy Discipline then?
A47908The Liberty of the Primitive Times,& c.] what Primitive Times?
A47908They say, the Law makes the Offender: may they not charge the Decalogue, by the same rule?
A47908They seem to allow of a Set- form of Words, why not of Actions too?
A47908They talk of Conscience: so Peters, their fellow- labourer, was a man of conscience; was he not?
A47908They''re sad they say, when were they other?
A47908Thirdly, VVhy is it not as lawful for Bishops to silence Presbyterians, as for Presbyterians to extirpate Bishops?
A47908Thirdly; they were to Treat; They did so; and the debate prov''d Fruitless: Where lyes the Fault I pray''e?
A47908This is enough to clear the Authority of the Institution; But That, they''ll say is not the Question?
A47908Unless they intend to make use of them?
A47908VVE crave leave to ask, whether you do not your selves in some things mistake, or may not do so for ought you know?
A47908VVHy did not the Reformers rather say?
A47908Was ever any thing more sourly Superstitious, then their Monthly- Fast?
A47908Was not Church- Government REFORM''D?
A47908Was not the Kings Power REFORM''D too?
A47908Was not the whole Crew of the late Conspirators, clad in the Livery of Gods People?
A47908We talk of Jesuits; What is a Jesuite, but a Presbyterian Papist?
A47908Were it not Breach of Trust in These to whom the Care of the Publique is committed, to gratifie a Private Scruple, by a General Inconvenience?
A47908Were not Proselytes, as well as Jews always taken for the Sons of Abraham?]
A47908What Gospell do these Precisians live by?
A47908What Law would their Conformity offend?
A47908What Mirmidon, or hard Dolopian What Savage- minded rude Cyclopian?
A47908What Remedy then, when betwixt Law, and Conscience, there is a real Disagreement?
A47908What do these Creatures keep a coil with Sin for?
A47908What now if all these big Pretences fall to nothing: and they Themselves at last prove the Obstructours of what they seem so eagerly to Promote?
A47908What shall we say then?
A47908What signifies the necessity of Their Discipline to Our Peace?
A47908What was the true ground then of this their Beastly dealing with His Majesty?
A47908What were all Articles and Ties of Honor, more then Bulrushes, when they could gain by breaking them?
A47908What were their Mock- fasts, but Religious Cursings of their most Sacred Sovereign?
A47908What, Sir John B — too?
A47908What?
A47908Where are we Then, but in an universal State of War?
A47908Where did they ever any thing without the Independents?
A47908Who Questions them, but they that Question''d as well our Form of Government?
A47908Who are the common Adversaries now?
A47908Who shall be Judge, the People, or the Church; Which is Christ''s Flock?
A47908Who shall distinguish now betwixt a Case of Schisme, and Conscience?
A47908Who, They take away Bishops?
A47908Why did we compel Them then?
A47908Why do not our Precise Scripturists, as well Pray, Prostrate too, as Communicate, Sitting?
A47908Why not DOEST thou Believe, as well as[ DO YOU believe?]
A47908Why not JOYN''D; — in the Marriage office, as well as CONJOYN''D?
A47908Why not WEDDED Wife — and Husband, as well as MARRIED?]
A47908Why should these men be Trusted, without an Oath, according to the Law, that have so freely sworn, against the Law?
A47908Why?
A47908Will any man confess himself an Heretique?
A47908Will these Gentlemen subscribe to the Bishops Episcopacy by Divine Right?
A47908Will they be tempted to think Ill, of what they suffer by?
A47908Would not a Searching Sermon now and then upon this Subject, do as much good as a Discourse of humane Impositions?
A47908Would our Reformers have had the Church order''d, before it was gather''d?
A47908Would you be willing to be thus Impos''d upon?
A47908Yet this they are not very earnest in; allow them onely the Liberty of the following Ages] and what was that I beseech ye?
A47908You count it nothing then, after three Prentiships spent in the Royal Cause, to be bespatter''d by those very persons that overthrew it?
A47908[ If the Prophet had commanded thee a great thing, would''st thou not have done it?
A47908and bids us render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars?
A47908and may not the Church as well suspect that we do not think Thus or So, as we affirm that others do?
A47908and what use can they make, but Violence?
A47908and whether your understandings are not still imperfect, and all men differ not in some opinion or other?
A47908and why may not you as well be forc''d to take a lawful Oath, as you forc''d others to an Unlawful one?
A47908and yet, at last, what was the Event, but Tyranny, and Bondage?
A47908any right of Imposing upon our Consciences?
A47908but to beget a thorough- disaffection to the Establish''d Liturgy?
A47908but where they ought to have put on Sackcloth?
A47908but who shall make them see more, then they have a mind to see?
A47908has not the Nation, in all Quarters, the witnesses of their very Tongues and Pens against them?
A47908have they so soon forgot, who sav''d them?
A47908he might as well ask him, where''t will be two hundred years hence?
A47908imply that some things there are which God does not comcommand; and that in those Cases we are at Liberty?
A47908is better pleased with Re- ordination, Subscription and Ceremonies, than with the saving of Souls, by the means of his own appointment?
A47908or what a Presbyterian but a Reform''d Jesuite?
A47908or, without Confession and Restitution, any Repentance?
A47908says a Private Person: Would you be willing to be thus contemned?
A47908what then, good Brethren?
A47908what then, good people?
A47908what''s the Quarrel?
A47908what; would the Bishops be as absolute as Popes?
A47908when the same thing may be Lawful to one, and Vnlawful to another?
A47908where will these men begin their Reckoning?
A47908where''s the Danger?
A47908— Do not you Jeast sometimes, when ye professe to love the King?
A47908— Do they first know what''t is, To RULE in CONSOCIATION?
A47908— What is it Then, but an Injurious Custome, and oppression, that puts the Difference betwixt Governours, and Slaves?
A47908—''T was ask''d me — Can any man be sav''d without Repentance?
A62502& what both but as much as the Bishop out of the Declaration praetends to?
A625022, 3?
A62502A guard is hath, but a blake one, such as Catilines league, and how can it have beter, wherein is sworne a conspiracie as bad?
A62502And Whether, according to your conscience be more Anti ● … Christian a Cloyster or a Synagogue?
A62502And if they suffer their children or servants to continue in wilfull ignorance( What if they can not help it?)
A62502And their power of appointing Committees hath as often been quaestion''d( and how often is that?)
A62502And what unkindnesse was here in the Scots to their King?
A62502And why did not the Warner put in among the causes of church mens deprivation from office and benefite, adultery, gluttonny and drunkennes?
A62502And yet what unkindnesse was here in the Scots to their King?
A62502Between the Government of a person, and of a corporation?
A62502But how does hee prove, that the Scots Ministers exempt themselves from civill jurisdiction?
A62502But if the case be so rare of the childs complaint?
A62502But why does the Warners anger run out so farre as to the preachers in Holland?
A62502But you come to a closer question, Whether the deliverie of the Kings person were a selling of him to his enemies?
A62502By whom was he Suborn''d?
A62502Can any man be so stupid, as to think, that the high Commissioners of Christ swear fealty to the Burgers of Geneva?
A62502Dare the Warner heere oppose the Presbyterians?
A62502Doth not the Houses of Parliament first begin with their ordinance before the Kings consent be sought to a Law?
A62502Et quis vos judices constituit?
A62502First what article of the covenant beares the setting up of the Presbyterian government in England as it is in Scotland?
A62502For the proofe of his conclusion he brings backe yet againe the late engagement: how often shall this insipide colwort be set upon our table?
A62502For what else?
A62502For when Praelacie is downe, I pray what remaines, according to your principles, but Presbyterie to set up?
A62502Have they not reason?
A62502Hoccine est humanum factum aut in ● … oeptum?
A62502Hoccine officium Patris?
A62502How Sycophantick an accusation is this?
A62502How agrees this with your Declaratour in his appendix to the maintenance of your sanctuarie?
A62502How many are put to publike repentance in sackeloth?
A62502I ap eal to all the Estates in Europe, what punishment could be evere enough for such audacious virulence?
A62502If Parliaments have power ad placitum to conclude, or impede any thing by their votes, what part of making, or refusing lawes is to the King?
A62502If the Church- men, why not others as well as you?
A62502If the Commotion was innocent, why not approv''d?
A62502If the King yeided so much toward an amicable conclusion, what can justifie the Presbyters in continuing the breach?
A62502If the Magistrates, why not over you aswell as others?
A62502If there were such divisions in Scotland, what could better compose thém then the personal presence of the King?
A62502If they be Apostolical grafts, good Mr. Baylie, from what tree thinke you were they taken, and of what may they, without arrogancie, beare the name?
A62502If to the former, you doe it either in confidence of your power to resist him, in that rebellion, wherein how are you justified?
A62502In good time, where did this Scepter lye hid for 1500. yeers, that we can not finde the least footsteps of it in the meanest village of Christendome?
A62502Is it then the Warners minde, that the notorious slander of such grosse sins does not deserve so much, as an Ecclesiastick rebooke?
A62502Is not the greatest crime the ground of the greatest scandal?
A62502Is there in all this reasoning any thing sound?
A62502Is this a huge crime?
A62502Leave ● … his jugling; who shall judge, when the Church is corrupted; the Magistrates or Church- men?
A62502Of the second part of the parallell, that people are more ready to obey their Ministers then their Magistrats what shall be made?
A62502Or else you runne desperatelie upon your ruine, which is selfe murder no martyrdome, for Quis requisivit?
A62502Or how should it be the Eternal Gospel?
A62502Or may the supreme Magistrate oppose the execution of their disciplin practised in their Presbyteries, or Synods, by Laws or prohibitions?
A62502Or will he so readilie instead of huckes give holy things unto sivine, and the Church''s bread, not onelie the crumbes of it, unto dogs?
A62502Quid facit excepta ordinatione Episcopus quod Presbyter not facit?
A62502Shall small scandals be purged away by repentance, and the greatest be totally past by?
A62502Shall such persons without admonition be admitted to the holy communion?
A62502Speak out, is it lawfull for Subjects to take up arms against their Prince meerly for Religion?
A62502Tamen hanc habere cupiat cum summo probro?
A62502That no King could reigne ● …( which is more then a Parliament sit and vote) without the suffrage of the Bishops?
A62502The second part of the Bishops parallel, I see, puts you to a stand, and the quaestion What shall be made?
A62502Then what remedy hath the Magistrate, if he find himself grieved in this case?
A62502This being the true case was it any, either unjustice, unkindnes or imprudence in the Scots to leave the King with his Parliament of England?
A62502This being the true case, you aske, Whether it were any injustice?
A62502This world drawes towards an end; was this discipline fitted and contrived for the world to come?
A62502Vis me uxorem ducere?
A62502Vxorem decreverat dare sese mihi hoaie, nonne oportuit praes ● … isse me ante?
A62502Was ever the Warners companion Bishop Aderton challenged for his Sodomy, so long as their commune patrone of Canterbury did rule the court?
A62502Was it any encroachment upon the Magistrate for the Church to give this advice to the privy counsell when earnestly they did crave it?
A62502Was not popery in Germany France and Britaine so firmely established, as civil lawes could doe it?
A62502Was there ever Church challenged such an omnipotence as this?
A62502What did our new Masters upon this?
A62502What did they hereupon?
A62502What followeth thereupon?
A62502What gets the Magistrate by all this to himself?
A62502What have I to do with the regulation of forreign Churches to burn mine own fingers with snuffing other m ● … ns Candles?
A62502What if heere they had gone on with the most of the praelaticall party to advance that right to a jus divinum?
A62502What should the poor Souldier do in such a case?
A62502When did any Bishops dare to doe such acts?
A62502When?

A57976A Prelate shall not light off his horse, nor bow to a King, nor shall a King seeke that of a Bishop, under the paine of two yeares excommunication?

A57976Can every believer say to a Church, Shall I come to you with the Rod?
A57976Certaine Quares or doubts following upon the Doctrine of independent Congregations?
A57976Did any of us thinke or write what Bellarmine hath spoken against the Lords anointed?
A57976Except the first be said, there be many doubts here, of which the way of independency can not cleare us?
A57976For that the multitude spake our brethren collect from v. 12. and how is it that Elders and brethren determine in penning Canonick Scripture?
A57976God hath fetched as broken a Ship to land, and yet they will be of Divine Right: Is it not true that the Learned said of necessity?
A57976Hence I leave it to be answered by authors of independencie, if they should not separate from such a Church?

A57976How is a man called on that ruleth well, because he baptizeth well, and readeth faire in the booke?
A57976How is it that you have taken away widowes, which was an office established by the Apostles?
A57976How shall they preach except they be sent?
A57976I answer, This is a senslesse reason; for how doth the Magistrate abolish Idolatry, set up the true worship of God?
A57976I answer, by asking which of the two shoulders, in a mans body are highest, and nearest to the mans head?
A57976I answer, that is, ignotum per ignotius, Shew me one person being a borne Iew, whose child the Lord forbad to circumcise?
A57976I aske what authority doe they meane, 1. authority of brotherly advise?
A57976I desire a place may be produced in all the old or new Testament, where a ministeriall or governing Church is taken for a company of only believers?
A57976IF the independencie of Congregations stand, whether or no is a Democracie, and the actuall government of the Church in the peoples hands?
A57976If admonition( saith he) appertaine to every brother, why not excommunication?
A57976If every one borne of God be not by that birth borne also a Key- bearer to open and shut Heaven?
A57976If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing, if the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
A57976If then all beleevers as well as the Apostles, and Paul, Timothy and Titus are not to lay hands on Pastors?
A57976If these Assemblies in the Churches of Christ now be a species of Judaisme?
A57976Is it to bee a visible Saint and taught of God?
A57976Is the Sacrament of the Lords Supper holier then the Sacrament of Baptisme, that the Deacon may administer the one Sacrament, and not the other?
A57976Necessitati quodlibet telum utile est?
A57976Neither is the name of an independent Church in Scripture, nor the word Trinity or Sacrament, what then?
A57976Now the question was not whether the Apostles had taught the lawfulnesse of circumcision or not?
A57976Now wherein none of these seven wayes we partake of the sins of a Church, how can their worship be defiled to us, or have any influence to infect us?
A57976Or shew us ex ● mple or precept therof in the Word?
A57976Quid igitur supremitas alibi quam in sonte 〈 ◊ 〉?
A57976Shall it oblige the one way Ecclesiastically being preached, and not the other way being Synodically determined, because the people consenteth not?
A57976Shall wee thinke that Christ hath left a grieved brother to a blind, Tell the Church?
A57976Shew us any authoritie that Pastours have in governing, which the meanest of the congregation hath not?
A57976Should not one wait on a whole Church, or many in a Church and keep communion with them, till God give them repentance?
A57976Si autem super unam illam Petram arbitraris universam ecclesiam aedificari a Deo, quid dices de Iacobo et Ioaune?
A57976Tell the Church?
A57976They doe not possesse all the world: how is death in them as the subject, except they be dead?
A57976Was there ever amongst us the like of their 8 ▪ generall Councell?
A57976We desire to know whom God forbad to be circumcised that were carnally descended of Abraham?
A57976We may reject( saith she) an offending Church, but not excommunicate: Saul rejected God, did he therefore excommunicate God?
A57976What Apostasie was in Israel, yea in all, except Cal ● b and Joshuah?

A57976What if a Church of beleevers bee by order of nature, before there be overseers?
A57976What if there be purity of doctrine, but extreame wickednesse, contrary to their doctrine; whether is that company a true Church or not?
A57976What is it to be a member of the Iewish Church?
A57976What is that?

A57976What, will ye, that I come to you with a rod, or in love, or in the Spirit of meeknesse?
A57976What?
A57976Where are the believers condemned for usurping the keyes, and because being ignorant they can not discharge that calling?

A41840And have yee a high account of the Promiser?
A41840And have you a high esteem of the Promiser?
A41840And must not the ● ● omises bee unchangeable that are made ● ● own unto us by the Gospel, that is the ● ord of Truth?
A41840And what is that?
A41840And why then do ye so much dispute?

A41840Are you taking delight to entertain fellowship and communion with the Promiser; Is this true?
A41840But may not some say, what advantage is there of this?
A41840But why will ye deceive your selves, Can a nation be born in one day; Or is there but one step between hell and heaven?

A41840Hath it not?
A41840Hath ● ot the losse of things in the world affected ● our heart more, then ever absence from ● hrist did?
A41840He hath begotten us to a lively hope; Who begat that assurance in thee?
A41840He is my God, I will praise him, he is my God, I will exalt him: What needeth David these repetitions, might not one serve?

A41840I would have much gold and silver; I say, come to Christ, and ye shall get much gold and silver: Is that true?
A41840I would only say this, O beloved in the Lord ▪ is not this your guilt, your undervaluing o ● the promises, and your little exercise o ● faith?

A41840Is not unchangeable written above the head of our enjoyment of God?
A41840Is not unchangeable written above the head of our promises?
A41840Is not unchangeable written upon the head of our blessednesse?
A41840It i ● in short this, because mercy made the promises to Abraham, but truth did accomplis ● the promises to Iacob?
A41840It is a soul- concerning question, Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
A41840It is faith which maketh one to rejoyce with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Would yee know why your graces are withered?
A41840It is in Heaven; Would ye know where his hope is?
A41840It is in Heaven; would you know where his thoughts are?

A41840Our father''s trusted in thee; O they were excellent men; But what a man am I?
A41840Secondly, Consider the persons who have right to make use of the promises?
A41840The second ground upon which Christians dispute the accomplishment of the promises, ● s their much disputing of their interest in God?
A41840The words of ● hy mouth are better unto me, then thousands of ● old and silver?
A41840They are in Heaven; Would ye know where his conversation is?

A41840This is his Commandment that ye should believe?
A41840Thou shalt call me thy Father?
A41840To perform the truth to Iaco ● and the mercy to Abraham: Why is it mercy to Abraham, and it is truth to Iacob?
A41840We ought not to limit infinit wisdom, nor to ● ay unto him that is infinite in strength, How ● an such a thing be?
A41840What a da ● shall it be when that promise shall be accom ● plished, yee shall know as yee are known?
A41840What a day shall it b ● ● when that promise shall bee accomplished ▪ Yee shall bee made like unto him?
A41840What a day shall it bee whe ● that promise shall be accomplished, Ye sh ● ● see him as he is?
A41840What a fool was I to kick against the pricks; or to enter in the lists with such an infinite God?
A41840What a heart is that, that can neither sorrow for sin, nor rejoyce in God?
A41840What are all your pleasures?
A41840What are they all?
A41840What if this word be your portion?
A41840What is sense?
A41840When I walk through the valley of the shaddow of death, I will fear no evil: What brought you that length, David?
A41840When last did ye exercise saith upon any of them?
A41840When was it, O Christian and expectant of heaven, that ye was put to cry forth, God hath arisen, and mine enemies are scattered before my face?
A41840When went you to your prayers, but yee wearied ere yee went away?
A41840Where must th ● Christian go to for strength?
A41840Why?
A41840Why?
A41840Will ye deny that to Christ, Oh, do yee ever think to finde a more down- coming market?
A41840Would yee give the world for Christ?
A41840Would yee have any thing of Christ?
A41840Yes certainly, because your tendernesse lieth within a promise; Will ye not once be much in the exercise of fear?
A41840and is there nor such hearts with us, even with us that ● re here this day?
A41840and what a heart is that, that can neither love Christ when he is present, nor can they ● ong for Christ when he is absent?
A41840and what are all your honours: and what are all your possessions?
A41840and what ● heart is that, O Christian, that can neither ● ove heaven, nor can fear hell?
A41840and when shall the new mo ● ● be gone, that I may pursue after my Idols?
A41840and y ● shall be constrained to answer, Yes: Christ shall propose that question, Are ye not well rewarded for all your pains?
A41840and yet this lyeth withi ● the bosome of a promise?
A41840both are alike mysteries unto them: What a heart is that, O Christian, that can neither believe promises, believe threatnings, nor obey commands?
A41840is very observable, The love of Christ constrained us,& c. Why art thou so painfull a Minister Paul?
A41840must not the ● ● omises be unchangeable that are made by 〈 ◊ 〉 Father who is the God of Truth?

A41840of that 18 Chapter, Is there any thing too hard for God?

A41840prove your own selves, know ye not your own selves, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
A41840shall it be said, before they travelled, they brought forth?
A41840such a spirit of formality, such a spirit of lazinesse, such a spirit of hardnesse, and such a spirit of undervaluing of Christ?
A41840the Lord valueth them not, What if they be the fa ● ting of you to the day of slaughter?

A19505And againe, Denie it now if thou canst?
A19505And is not Prayer thinke you and Inuocation, a speciall point of Gods seruice?
A19505And now( Brethren) if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues, what shall I profite you?
A19505And since they grant that Babel is Rome, what else can the whoore of Babel be, but the whoorish Church of Rome?
A19505And who tell mee hath growne by the ▪ decay of the Empire?
A19505Are not their raylings, threatnings, contradictions, treasonable imaginations patiently suffered for Christes sake?
A19505Beleeuest thou that Iesus died for thee, and that thou canst not bee saued but by his death?
A19505But is there no other thing they long for?
A19505But tell me how long, God willing, mind you to stay in this towne?
A19505But to come to the Church of Rome, tell mee, who did first conuert the Romanes to the Christian faith?
A19505But what Diuinitie is this?
A19505But what goe they now to doe?
A19505But what thinke yee of confidence, should wee put considence in any but in God?
A19505But you haue done worse in Baptisme adding Spittle, Oyle, and Salt to the element of Water: was this done by Christ or his Apostles?
A19505C. And I pray you, may not Christ of his omnipotent power, and truth, giue mee his body, except hee turne bread into his bodie?
A19505C. And think you that Saint Paul when hee made his Apologie, worshipped God after the manner of Pharesies?
A19505C. And why?
A19505C. But what say you to this?
A19505C. Considered you his Text, and how he opened it vp?
A19505C. Cyprian in the point of rebaptising, taught not as Cornelius; what of that?
A19505C. GOod morrow( Sir) are you ready to goe?
A19505C. GOod morrow( Sir) how doe you to day?
A19505C. Haue you forgot so soone?
A19505C. How can you say that?
A19505C. How so, was you not in Rome, and other parts vnder the Popes Dominions?
A19505C. How then sayes hee, that he worshipped God after the maner of his Fathers, seeing his Fathers were Pharesies?
A19505C. I know in word they will, but in effect they take his Offices from him?
A19505C. It is needlesse to demaund how?
A19505C. No that is also a silly shift: when your Church- men say that the Pope is Christ Vicar, doe they meane any one single Pope?
A19505C. Now what thinke of it?
A19505C. Secondly, see you not how it inverts Gods ordinance?
A19505C. Tell mee I pray you how it goes with you, are you sound both in bodie and in minde?
A19505C. Tell mee now of what Religion was Gamali ● l?
A19505C. Tell mee( I pray you) what is that which holdes you from vs?
A19505C. Then there is the point; How is it that the Church of Rome takes on her this libertie to doe otherwise?
A19505C. Then will it please you to take a view of these, which I haue gathered for my own priuate vse?
A19505C. VVhen Christ shewed himselfe to the World, how many of the Nobles, and Learned Rabbins, did know him?
A19505C. Very well, and when wee say that the Pope is Christ opposite, doe wee vnderstand this man, or that man?
A19505C. Very well: Tell me now who was King, and Supre ● me Gouernour when Peter wrote this, was it not Nero?
A19505C. WHat say you to day( Sir) haue you considered the points of our last conference?
A19505C. What Church wil yee goe to or whom of the Preachers desire you to heare?
A19505C. What a Prayer is this thē?
A19505C. What a silly refuge is that?
A19505C. What greater clearenesse can you craue?
A19505C. What is that to the matter?
A19505C. What need you doubt of their authoritie?
A19505C. What of that?
A19505C. What will you gather of that?
A19505C. What?
A19505C. Which are those?
A19505C. Why then is it giuen to Saints; and that Psalter which containes Prayers& praises to God, all turned ouer to the Virgine Marie?
A19505C. Will you make mee this promise, to quit your communion with the Church of Rome, if I proue her to be the Whore of Babel, the mother of Whoredomes?
A19505C. You shall see how: what thinke you is the office of a Prophet?
A19505Did the Apostle giue any precept without reason or truth?
A19505Do not these places make cleare, that the Apostasie here prophesied should come af ● er the decay of the Romane Empire?
A19505Doe they not here limit the Lord?
A19505Doest thou not acknowledge that thine euill life d ● serues eternall d ● ath?
A19505Donec de medio fiat quis nisi Romanus status?
A19505Doth any of the Rulers, or Scribes beleeue in Christ ●, but only this cursed people who knowes not the Law?
A19505First, is not this a mockerie of GOD the Father, To desire him to accept his owne Sonne: Is Christ out of the fauour of his Father?
A19505Hath not the Church of Rome here deliuered a Doctrine which shee hath not receiued?
A19505Is not alliance with Labans house, for Religions cause preferred to the friendship of the most puissant Princes of Canaan?
A19505Is not this against the golden rule of Vincentius, to mixe noueltie with Antiquitie; What say you to it?
A19505Is not this to make the Pope a lawlesse man?
A19505Is not your heart mooued to come to vs?
A19505Is their not a sensible losse sustained for the Gospels sake?
A19505Is there not heere a manifest changing of Christs ordinance, and by their owne confession a plaine departing from Antiquitie?
A19505May not the Church make Lawes?
A19505Now when it is done what thinke you of the prayer?
A19505Oh, say the Papists, how many Learned men are of our Religion?
A19505Or as the Baptist takes it vp, Art thou hee who is come, or shall wee looke for an other?
A19505Or ● f not, may it not serue vs to be ● f their Religion?
A19505R. And who denies that?
A19505R. And why, thinke you it not a good reason?
A19505R. But do not they who are in heauen pray for the Church militant on earth?
A19505R. But how shall wee goe to a King but by his Courtiers?
A19505R. But if it bee Bread, how can it be his body?
A19505R. But may not Christ of his omnipotent power transubstantiate bread into his body?
A19505R. But said you not euen now, you would acknowledge that to be most true which is most ancient?
A19505R. But saith not our Lord that the Bread giuen in the Sacrament is his Bodie?
A19505R. But what makes these against the Church of Rome?
A19505R. But what think you; whether came the light of the Gospell first to you or to them?
A19505R. But what will you say of them who haue died with all the opinions of Papistrie?
A19505R. But why then by some is Palladius called Scotorum Apostolus?
A19505R. But will you say to vs as these Bishops said to him, That all our Fathers are damned?
A19505R. Come on let vs see; what sayes Vincentius?
A19505R. Fie vpon that; will they commit such blasphemie?
A19505R. From whence got they it then, if they got it not from Rome?
A19505R. How So?
A19505R. How can that be?
A19505R. How can that be?
A19505R. How can you say that?
A19505R. How did Christ resolue that contro ● ersie of Polygamie?
A19505R. How so, should not the teachers of the truth agree in al things in one harmonie?
A19505R. How so?
A19505R. How will you proue that?
A19505R. I se ● ind ● ed they haue it not ● n their tra ● slation, but is it I pray you in the Greeke text?
A19505R. I see that also ▪ C. Thirdly, Is it not an iniurious thing to Christ, to say that any can offer him vp to God, but himselfe?
A19505R. I thanke you for it: Now what say you to our Question, Are all our fathers damned?
A19505R. I thinke no lesse then you say, but how is it then they pray for vs in generall?
A19505R. I thinke they haue reason to say so: but after what manner doe they expound Babel?
A19505R. I vnderstand that very well: but want they no other thing, for which they cry, How long?
A19505R. Is that all you haue for you?
A19505R. Let it be so: What is that against Papists?
A19505R. Put what are they doing now?
A19505R. Reade on, what sayes he further?
A19505R. Say the Rhemists, that it may verie well bee that Antichrist shall sit in Rome?
A19505R. Tell me I pray you what want they who are in heauen?
A19505R. That is a faire Generall; but will yee tell vs, who were these?
A19505R. That is verie true: but may not the Church for some causes command abstinencie frō meats?
A19505R. The one is: Where was your Church before Luther?
A19505R. Thinke you not best we begin where wee left yesternight?
A19505R. Truly not that I remember, C. Was it then thinke you a good argumēt they vsed against Christ?
A19505R. VVas not your Father, and Grandfather, and their Fathers before them for many ages Papists?
A19505R. Well, I shall remember that( God willing): but in the dayes of Papistrie, wherewith you say the world was blinded, where was your Church?
A19505R. What a Father was he?
A19505R. What are those?
A19505R. What doth that helpe you?
A19505R. What is that?
A19505R. What is that?
A19505R. What is that?
A19505R. What say you then of Antiquitie?
A19505R. What sayes he?
A19505R. What sayes hee of it?
A19505R. What should I thinke?
A19505R. What will that make against them?
A19505R. What will you gather of that place?
A19505R. What would you make of all that?
A19505R. Where haue you that Proclamation?
A19505R. Where haue you that?
A19505R. Where is that?
A19505R. Wherein doe they otherwise?
A19505R. Wherein worse?
A19505R. Wherein?
A19505R. Who dare say that?
A19505R. Who said that?
A19505R. Who sayes that?
A19505R. Why, what meane you by that?
A19505R. Why?
A19505Repentest thou th ● se sinnes?
A19505See you not here how we are plainly commaunded to learne Gods will concerning our Saluation from the Sonne?
A19505Shall the Gospell be blamed for this?
A19505Should the foure Councels bee receiued as the foure Euangelists, or should the Canon Law and decretall Epistles bee receiued as Canonicall Scripture?
A19505Tell me, like yee to heare any more of Vincentius?
A19505The diseased answered, E ● iam, ye ●: The other ▪ still inquired, Paenitet ● e horum?
A19505The other answered Etiam, yea I doe: still he inquire ●, Credis quò ● pro te mortu ● s ● ● t dominus Iesus?
A19505Thinke you this a good answere?
A19505VVhat thinke you now, whether doth this touch them or vs?
A19505Vnd ● rstand you what he saies?
A19505Were all our Fathers damned who vnderstood not this, or that Article of faith?
A19505What Countrie people?
A19505What Diuinitie is this, to teach people to pray that God would bring them to Heauen by an other blood then Christs blood?
A19505What Doctors, who taught as yee teach?
A19505What doth the Reader now, is he making an other praier?
A19505What is that to the matter?
A19505What is this the people are going to doe?
A19505What say you to these, is there any word here of praier to Cherubin, or Seraphin?
A19505What then say you to the first?
A19505What think you, doth not Gregorie heere blacke the faces of his successors with a visible note of Anti- christ?
A19505What thinke yee now of this place?
A19505What thinke you of that talke to giue to the Pope?
A19505What thinke you of this one instance?
A19505What thinke you of this testimonie?
A19505Where was your Church before Luther?
A19505Wherein the common quest ● on of the Aduersaries is answ ● red: Where was your Church before Luther?
A19505Wherein the common question of the Aduersaries is aunswered: Where was your Church before LVTHER?
A19505Who dare adde to the ordinance of Christ?
A19505Who, but they are so called?
A19505Will you consider can there bee any better Schoolemasters to teach vs how to pray then the persons of the blessed Trinitie?
A19505Will you find any more among the Learned Pharisies but Nicodemus?
A19505Will you find any more among the Noble ● but Ioseph of Ar ● mathea?
A19505and are our Protestants wise to make alliance by marriages with them?
A19505and since themselues can not deny but the temporal Empire is decayed, how then can they deny the Apostasie?
A19505and thinke you not we are surest when wee prai ● in such a manner as they haue taught?
A19505except I speake to you either by Reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
A19505is there any warrant for turning ouer of all the prayers in the Psalme booke to the Virgin Marie?
A19505or rather may you not see it is the craft of the Deuill to disgrace the Gospell?
A19505said he not; He is my Son in whom I am well pleased?
A19505see you not how they reele?
A19505the other: Are all our fathers damned?
A19505what thinke you of that?
A19505will it follow that hee was not a faithfull Pastor, or the Church of Carthage was not a true Church?
A19505will you not graunt that to bee the true Church which hath the most auncient Doctrine?
A889481 So our Saviour spake the word unto those people?
A8894810. of Gods sending ▪ and so doth Piscator, and who not?
A8894817?
A88948188 l. 1. where t is said, the Princes and heads of tribes laid hands on them: now what were these Princes and heads of tribes, but magistrates?
A889483?
A889485. why is not the place quoted, where we doe bring them?
A88948Again, suppose what here is affirmed were also sufficiently confirmed, how is the point in question proved hereby?
A88948Againe, if Luther did so appeale, why is no proof alledged for Confirmation of what here is affirmed?
A88948And if it be so in Commonwealths, and families, why may wee not say the same of Churches?
A88948And if they Prophesyed not all in one Assem ● ly but divers, how could the unbeleever bee convinced and judged by them all?
A88948And if this be true of a Church that is alone, shall we thinke it is not true of a Church that hath neighbours?
A88948And if three Iudges had power of life and death, why may not a Congregation with three Elders have power of Excommunication?
A88948And is it true indeed, that this place doth evince the contrary?
A88948And may it not also fall out in a Provinc ● all Synod, and in a Classis or Presbtytery of many Churches?
A88948And serving for excellent ends, as well as Discipline doth?
A88948And that Ieroboam did not only sinne, but made Israel to sinne?
A88948And that the people there were not present?
A88948And what if they meet for prayer also, what if for the Word and Prayer without Sacraments, for this or that time?
A88948And what of this?
A88948And who gave them such Authority to Excommunicate Pagans, or men of another Nation, being only there present at that time occasionally?
A88948And yet I can not see but this must be said, if both the other sayings stand good?
A88948Answ, And what of all this?
A88948Are not Sacraments necessary to the well- being of the Church, as being commanded in the word, as well as Discipline is?
A88948Are there any such words as here he sets down?
A88948Are they so many in Spain, in Italy, in Turkey at this day?
A88948Are those things duties, which are in nature impossible?
A88948Are we then agreed, that in scripture language the word Church is sundry times given to a single Congregation?
A88948Be it a matter of Discipline, or a matter that concerned all the Churches, or what else Mr. Rutherford will have it?
A88948But can any man inferre from hence, that the Church thus rebuking another Church hath power to Excommunicate that other Church?
A88948But doth hee make it a note of many Congregations in one Church at Ierusalem?
A88948But doth not M. Rutherford prove that the one Church at Ephesus was more then one Congregation?
A88948But doth our Brother cleere this?
A88948But if this were granted in the sense expressed, must it needs follow that they imposed hands as Elders, and as Elders by office too?
A88948But is it so indeed as our Brother affirmeth, that none of them do teach that it is against the light of Nature that the adverse party be the judge?
A88948But it is not easie to see how they choose a man for a Minister to themselves, being sent unto them by God?
A88948But why are we not certified what Iudicatures are to be accounted Exotique and Forraigne?
A88948But why is not the whole Church the whole much people that beleeved?
A88948But why must these foure particulars be proved?
A88948But will it follow hereupon that one particular Christian hath power to Excommunicate another in case of Obstinacy?
A88948Can a man sustain no relation, but all his actions must be actions of that relation?
A88948Can any man imagine they would thus have spoken, if themselves had already found out the men, and likewise had imposed hands upon them?
A88948Can not a man be an husband, or a parent,& c. but his actions of plowing sowing,& c. must needs be performed by him, as he is a husband, or parent?
A88948Can one Epistle be delivered to sundry or severall assemblies at one time?
A88948Can our ● ● ● ● ing be one thing, and our mind another?
A88948Counsell and advise may be administred and given by them, who have also power to command?
A88948Doth he prove the contrary to what is here affirmed by us?
A88948Doth right in one Person or Assembly to end their ma ● ● ers if they be able, extempt them from being under the command of others?
A88948Doth the accession of neighbours to a Congregation take away from such a Congregation the essence of a Church which it had before?
A88948Else why should these be objected, and answered as ours?
A88948Else, else what?
A88948First he saith, Appeales being warranted by the Counsell which Iethro gave to Moses — can not but be naturall?
A88948For Timothy being an Evangelist, how could any ordinary Presbytery have authority over him, or give office or authority to him?
A88948For can it be denyed but such a Congregation is a Church, as well as the other?
A88948For may not as much bee said of them as here is said of Discipline?
A88948For were they so many in England in the dayes of Queen Mary?
A88948For what great difference is there between a sign of prayer and a benedictory signe?
A88948For what though a Concionall rebuking be performed by one, and a Iuridicall by many?
A88948For who knoweth not that there might be a numerous multitude, and yet but one Congregation?
A88948For why may there not bee appeales from them in whom no independen ● ie of Policie is seated?
A88948Have we delivered any such thing, that Antioch had right to determine against the truth?
A88948How can that be?
A88948How is it cleere that the greatst part of the Church at Antioch was against the truth?
A88948How is this I say made good by affirming, that neither the Congregation nor the Synod is the highest?
A88948How shall we be sure that those who laid on hands were the first born?
A88948I mean not onely by themselves; but also by others, who are farre more in number then they?
A88948I suppose it is easie to see the insufficiency and invalidity of such Consequences?
A88948If any aske why may not this Consequence be owned?
A88948If it be not, how is our Tenent removed?
A88948If it be our meaning, how can it be hoped that we do not mind it?
A88948If it be said they may, I would know: quo jure?
A88948If it was nothing but a signe of praying over then, then why is a consummatory rite and a benedictory signe gainsaid and opposed?
A88948If our Brother intend it not for a removall thereof, why is it brought in for answer to an Objection proposed by himselfe as ours?
A88948If that saying of ours be not sound, why doth he not returne some answer?
A88948If the Elders were but a part of the first born, then how could all the first born be Elders by office?
A88948If there must be an highest, must it needs be yeelded that the Synod and not the Congregation is that highest?
A88948If this be a duty, it is more then I yet understand?
A88948If this follow not, what needs it?
A88948Is meant Discipline?
A88948Is there any necessary or clear consequence in such a proposition?
A88948Is there any such necessary consequence here, that the one of these must needs follow upon the other?
A88948Is there in this any thing at all that doth make for the removall of our opinion, as himselfe hath see it down in his Objection?
A88948Is there no rebuking of offenders for their faults, but only in a way of ● ● ● ● ction and Discipline?
A88948Is this Consequence strong and cleere?
A88948Is this good arguing, appeales to exotique Indicatures are not warrantable, Ergo a Synod and not the Congregation is the supreame Iudicature?
A88948It must then be the consequence that must be denyed, or the conclusion must be yeelded: what then brings he to overthrow the consequence?
A88948Let this be granted also, and are we ever a whit neerer to the point, then before?
A88948Let this be granted also, and are we not still where we were before?
A88948May it not neverthelesse be denyed that this rebuking was any other then in a Doctrinall way?
A88948May not his reader be induced hereby to think that we had spoken otherwise?
A88948Must we prove a negative: and is that saying, Affirmanti incumbit ● ● us probandi, now become unreasonable, unnecessary, or of no force?
A88948Neither formally, nor virtually?
A88948None will you say?
A88948Nothing lesse: for how can our Brother prove that it lyes in the one and not in the other, by saying as here he doth, that indeed it lyes in neither?
A88948Now how shall it appeare that any such Independent supream power of jurisdiction is given to any of those Presbyteries?
A88948Now if Sacraments be thus excellent and effectuall, how is it that in the place wee have in hand, Discipline is made more necessary then they?
A88948Now if this be all the necessity that is in Discipline, how is Discipline more necessary then Sacraments?
A88948Now if this multitude was gathered together not in one assembly but diverse, how could the Epistle being but one, be delivered to them all?
A88948Now if this reasoning be good from one Act to all, why is no this as good, from all to any one or to some one?
A88948Now to what end was thus much disputation, if they had no right to determine the matter?
A88948Now what answer doth he returne to this passage?
A88948Now what doth our Reverend Brother returne in his Answer?
A88948Now what have we said in this matter?
A88948Now what saith Mr. Rutherford hereunto?
A88948Now what saith Mr. Rutherford to this?
A88948Now what shall be said or done in this ● ase?
A88948Or any words equivalent thereto?
A88948Or did they not transgresse their line in attempting what they did attempt?
A88948Or doth he so much as once attempt the cleering thereof?
A88948Or doth the place make any mention of Church- power, and Church government at all?
A88948Or how is that Consequence made good, that if there must be appeales till we come to the highest, then the Synod is the highest?
A88948Or how will it be avoided but by the like reason, one Elder alone may Excommunicate in case there be no other Elders to joyne with him?
A88948Or how will it follow, if a Church shall abuse their power, that other Churches in such eases may take away the power from such a Church?
A88948Or if housholdere have such right, doth it follow that therefore they are under no command, in Church and Common- wealth?
A88948Or is there so much as one word that looketh that way?
A88948Or shall we say that they who want ability to doe things as they should be done, do therefore want right to ● ● al ● in them at all?
A88948Or shall wee say it is not so much?
A88948Sat magistrabiter: would it not do well first to disprove and confute, and then to censure, rather then to censure first?
A88948Shall the Congregation now have the free exercise of its power, or shall it not?
A88948Shall we say the whole Church is more then the people that beleeved?
A88948Shall we thinke the offence fals not within our Saviours remed or complaint or Appeale here?
A88948Suppose a Congregation have an incompleate power when they have neighbours, how shall it appeare that when they are alone their power is now compleat?
A88948Suppose it were a meeting for matter of Discipline, must it needs be a meeting for Elders alone, without the presence of the faithfull?
A88948Suppose the case were extraordinary and rare, may they violate the ordinary rules of Christ?
A88948Suppose this be so, what can there be concluded hence, that makes against us?
A88948Take Ordination as we do, and why can not this be?
A88948That that remedie of our Saviour, Tell the Church, is not needfull in any Church above a Nationall?
A88948That the Church at Corinth did not all meet in one Congregation: How shall we be assured that such a thing is evinced by the place?
A88948The Consequence is not cleere, for who knoweth not that there may be power to rebuke, where there is no power of Excommunication?
A88948The people have not either formally or by grant of Christ virtually, the keyes committed to them, how then can they give the keyes to Pastors?
A88948These are our words in the place alledged by Mr. Rutherford: now what doth he answer thereto?
A88948This sence of the place must needs bee received, else how shall the Apostles words bee reconciled and stand together?
A88948To what end therefore was it to make shew of removing or weakening what he had said, sith when it comes to the issue, he plainly concurs with us?
A88948True say they, they come together, but how?
A88948We have a little sister, what shall we do for her?
A88948We say, that if the magistrate be an enemy to Religion, may not the Church without him conveen and renew a Covenant with God?
A88948What if ten Brethren offend the whole or part?
A88948Whence doth it seeme that we do so make it?
A88948Why may wee not say, there must bee liberty of Appeales from all Synods and Presbyteries, except onely the generall Councill?
A88948Will Mr. Rutherford deny it to be l ● wfull for any to be present at matters of Discipline, but onely the Elders?
A88948and if they were Princes and Magistrates how could they be considered in this act as Ecclesiasticall Elders?
A88948can not appeales be Naturall, but the supremacie of Synods over Congregations must needs follow?
A88948do they fall short of their duty, if they do not thus assemble, and impose the Covenant?
A88948doth it not plainly appear hereby, that more then Elders, even all the Saints in those places are written unto in those Epistles?
A88948doth not the Scripture say, that when Rehoboam, forsook the Lord, all Israel did the same with him?
A88948doth this strongly overthrow that saying, which was censured for so weak?
A88948may not one and the same Church assemble for diverse ends and actions?
A88948might they not better have spared their paines?
A88948or how doth it therfore follow that Imposition of hands was not a consummatory rite or benedictory signe, but somthing more?
A88948or if all the first born were by office Elders, then how could the Elders be but a part of the first born?
A88948or was it to make his confutation of us more easie, then it would have been, if our own words had been retained and kept?
A88948th Objection, as that which he undertakes to answer?
A88948was this to burden our opinion or apprehension with a greater odium then our words in his own judgement will beare?
A88948were they so many in Scotland in the dayes of popish Princes, afore the reformation?
A88948what if they meet for the admission of members also, or for censuring delinquents?
A88948what should hinder but the peoples election might contain the substance of a Ministers calling notwithstanding?
A88948where are the texts of Scripture that speak of such power?
A88948yea, possibly for diverse upon one day?
A65879( Is this thy excellent Logick?)
A658797. and talked even till break of day: Where is this Sermon Recorded?
A65879A g ● owth and a fullness consistent with a body of Sin: Is this the Principle and Faith of the Kirk of Scotland?
A65879And did not Jesus Christ shew forth his power and preach the Gospel, before that of Mark was writ?
A65879And do you propose this to your Auditors as matter of comfort?
A65879And doth not the Light and Spirit, bring to the right use and end of the Scriptures which was given by inspiration?
A65879And how did the Saints truly and effectually know he was come, but by the understanding and Eternal Life he had given them?
A65879And if Marks declaration was the beginning of the Gospel, How are the Prophets writings the Gospel?
A65879And if it was the same that Christ devided and gave to his disciples; Was that the outward bread so given to both?
A65879And if the Anoynting within teacheth of all things; Must the Scriptures be a Rule to the Anoynting, that thou seemest to tye it to the Scriptures?
A65879And is he devided or imperfect in what he is to the Saints?
A65879And is not the Light, Spirit, Kingdom within, communicated before the Scriptures are truly understood and opened?
A65879And is not your Light( or that which you put for Light) darkness?
A65879And is the full recovery called conversion as thou sayst?
A65879And must that be reckoned for no coming?
A65879And was it inward or outward?
A65879And was that the Scriptures of the Prophets?
A65879And what is it God hath joyned that( thou sayest) we have wickedly s ● parated?
A65879And wherefore was Judas condemned then; Was it because God refused to give him saving Grace, or for his own transgression?
A65879And who is now guilty of damnable Popery?
A65879And yet other whiles they must expect to find Eternal Life in the Scriptures, to be made Wise unto Salvation by them; What contradiction''s here?
A65879And, Did not Christ say, I and my Father are one, and prayed that his might be perfect in one, as he and his Father were one?
A65879And, Did such fall into gross sins?
A65879And, Do not the Papists plead for their Traditions and Ceremonys against Protestants and others, in like manner as he hath done in this cause?
A65879And, Had not he Grace given him before, seeing that by Transgression he fell?
A65879And, Is Sanctification imperfect in this Life?
A65879And, Is this that thou callest inherent Righteousness?
A65879And, Was not its teaching their Rule then?
A65879And, What Scripture had they then to forbid Circumcision as they did?
A65879And, Who was the Authour of his Transgression?
A65879And, if the Gospel and Mynistry of Christ be one, How is the Scripture it?
A65879Are all unbelievers then, and have no Light in them but who have the Scriptures?
A65879Are they not mentioned distinctly as two?
A65879As for that by gone state before he was begotten; Was he groaning under a body of death?
A65879As oft as they did it, it was to shew the Lords death till he came; What coming, and when was it, or is it to be he intended?
A65879As you contradict your self, so you do the Truth; For can Sin be in any man, and the actions flowing, and the man not be Sinful?
A65879Both( ● or all) a Spirit, and yet distinct in personal Subsistance; Where learned you this Doctrine?
A65879But are the damned and reprobates such, because ordained of God so to be, or because Christ, died not for them( according to thy Doctrine?)
A65879But could not Christ discerne the Devils spirit without the Scriptures?
A65879But did th ● y go to teach Infants of a week old?
A65879But doth this prove that Judas had no sanctifying knowledg of Christ?
A65879But is that any part of your Religion to tell of God- fathers and God- mothers?
A65879Confusion, Are they both one?
A65879Did he not come again after he rose?
A65879Did he perform that which is good, yea or nay?
A65879Did nor he preach from the Light within, or Revelation of the Son in him?
A65879Do they consist together?
A65879Do ● h not this growth and fullness consist by Christ and in him?
A65879Doth it dye with the Body( seeing the Soul is pure when it ascends to God?)
A65879Doth not the Scriptures make us Wise unto Salvation?
A65879Doth not the substance end the shadows?
A65879Doth not this equally reflect upon Christs Apostles as well as us?
A65879Doth not this plainly confute thee, that what they said was from the holy ghost?
A65879Doth this prove nothing?
A65879Hast thou cleared Gods Children herein?
A65879Have all that hear Scripture read or preached, the knowledg of the Mistery of Christ without the Light within?
A65879Have any a Supernatural knowledg or faith of the Scriptures, who have not a knowledg of Christ?
A65879He will exercise his power in us, and yet not immediate; What contradiction''s here?
A65879How hast thou wrested plain Scripture herein?
A65879How ignorant hast thou shewed thy self in this matter?
A65879How miserably hast thou pleaded Gods Childrens cause?
A65879How obviously hast thou herein contradicted thy former Doctrine, for imperfection and sin till death?
A65879How provest thou that( for we deny it) and the ground of this thy peremptory censure and judgm ● nt, against all them that had not Scripture?
A65879How provest thou thy Call from Scripture, and that thou art Comissionated by Christ to Preach?
A65879How silly a ● d weak hast thou shewed thy self in this matter?
A65879How then doth the Apostles speak of the Revelation as before?
A65879How then was it received with all readiness of mind?
A65879How was it a mystery hid from Ages?
A65879If Sin be in a man, doth it not defile him?
A65879If believers be cleansed from all sin when they do believe; How have they it to war against, till they lay down this Tabernacle?
A65879If he did, Then knew he what he did?
A65879If he who is a Brother may offend in the day time; Doth it therefore follow that all the godly or brethren do fall into sin seven times a day?
A65879If not by the Light within, How by the Scripture without it?
A65879If so; By whom consists Sin and its body?
A65879If so; then, Why were they not directed to the Scriptures of the Apostles?
A65879If the Lord has given Grace and Knowledg equally to all men, Wherein stands the freedom of his Grace towards them that are saved?
A65879If the Scriptures and Gospel be one; How are they distinguished?
A65879If they can not Preach except they be sent, then who must send them and give them power for that work but Christ?
A65879If this doth nothing differ from what thou sayest, it s very strange, didest not say a little before[ upon his dying?]
A65879Is he made wholy free from Sin yea or nay?
A65879Is it Believers and Sin, or the advocate and Sin?
A65879Is it Christs yea or nay?
A65879Is it as impossible Faith should be otherwise then an imperfect creature as for a man to be essentially a beast?
A65879Is not manifest confusion, variation, and inconsistencies in these passages?
A65879Is not that in a Supernatural way, which is without Error and Jangling, and good and acceptable to God?
A65879Is not that oneness between the Father and the Son perfect?
A65879Is not the Father distinct from the Son and the Spirit, in the personal subsistance?
A65879Is not the Word of Reconcilliation Gods?
A65879Is that your pure Protestant Religion, that pleads for sin in all the facultyes of the Soul?
A65879Is the Bread and Wine the substance Then?
A65879Is this dangerous?
A65879Is this divulg''d in the Kirk of Scotland?
A65879Is this good Doctrine?
A65879Is this good Doctrine?
A65879Is this thy L ● arning and Logick?
A65879Is this thy Learning thou hast boasted of?
A65879Is this your pure Protestant Religion?
A65879Judas had part of the Ministry that the other Apostles had; and, Did not that proceed from saving Grace?
A65879Many of whom we believe were better then thy self; and hast thou known the best and wisest of them, that thou art thus positive against them?
A65879Mayest thou not here see thy error and confusion?
A65879Must we believe thy meaning contrary to the very words of Scripture, or were the whole world all the Elect?
A65879Nay, Had they not Scripture ra ● her for it?
A65879Now, What can be inferred from hence for sprinkling Infants?
A65879Of Faith being a habit, an imperfect creature, or accident; and, Is accident and habit all one?
A65879Or art thou their mouth; that thou takest upon thee, to be such a contender for the pure Protestant Religion( as thou callest it?)
A65879Or did he so walk all his Life time?
A65879Or did that Light come from them( or from Christ?)
A65879Or if it was before; Then did he not amend and become better when he came to be converted, to receive Grace and Apostleship?
A65879Or is not the body of Sin put off, where the Circumcision of Christ is experienced?
A65879Or is there not a time of confessing, repenting, and time of forsaking Sin?
A65879Or to be mockt at as thou hast done?
A65879Or was he the greatest or chiefest of sinners when faithful?
A65879Or, Did Peter intend they should all have their Children sprinkled before they were called?
A65879Or, Is not the teaching of the Anoynting Scripture, as well as it was in them that spoke Scripture from it?
A65879Or, Must not people believe the Anoynting, till they have searched the Scriptures to try it by them?
A65879Or, Was Circumcision the type of Infants Baptizme( so called?)
A65879Or, Was there not more in Christs words then the outward observation?
A65879Or, Were such the Believers that were Baptized?
A65879Or, Were the Scriptures of the Prophets more sure then the Apostles writings?
A65879Or, What Grace?
A65879Or, did he do he knew not what in it?
A65879Priest, Are the things written in the Scriptures, and the Scriptures two things?
A65879Priest, If all men are taught to know Christ by the Light within them, Why sent he Apostles to all Nations, to make them disciples?
A65879Priest, Is not that another Gospel, that all the world over are taught Christ and his Gospel?
A65879Priest, The Word you say is one, How can it be called those things?
A65879Priest, Who strengtheneth then the hands of wickedness?
A65879Repent and be baptized every one of you,& c. Were they Infants such as the Priests sprinkle, that he bid repent?
A65879Secondly, And Is it false and absurd to say, that Christs coming again was when he rose again?
A65879Secondly, And was it the Scriptures or the Law as it is in the Letter that discovered to Paul his sins and desires, or the Law inward?
A65879Shall we say they had the Sanctifying Knowledg of Christ who had not love to him, who hath not good will to him?
A65879So, Then the Scriptures are granted to be words of God, why then holdst thou debate against us, but to shew thy cavilling Spirit?
A65879Surely here''s darkn ● ss to be felt, Who can raise an absurdiy and confusion from this, grosser then it self?
A65879That the disciples had outward bread; Who denies?
A65879That''s not Johns sence but thine, which is as much as to say, his was not true; for do they continue in Sin, and yet Sin not?
A65879The Priests were wo nt to tell of a Regenerate part; What part is it?
A65879The evill one toucheth him not) prove any thing,& c. Do they not prove any thing?
A65879Therefore Are they not able to save us?
A65879This is a contradiction, or do t ● ey continue in it and still repent of it?
A65879This is a sad accusation against all Gods Children againe, and what is this but a pleading for sin, and tending to strengthen the hands of evil doers?
A65879This shews thy Shallowness, Pride and Conceitedness, And were not Peter and John unlearned men, and so accounted by the Learned among the Jewes?
A65879Those who had Christ the living bread, yet were partakers of the outward bread, as the disciples were; Were not the Corinthians Saints?
A65879Thou mightest as well say, that many words and one word are both one; Where provest thou thy assertion?
A65879To be unblamable; Is that Grace?
A65879To hold up holy hands without wrath and doubting, Do not you offer up a Cains sacrifice herein?
A65879Wa''st a first, or a second, or a third?
A65879Was God or he to be blamed therein?
A65879Was he giving thanks for victory through Jesus Christ?
A65879Was not this the good end of Christs coming?
A65879Was that Light within dim in those times, that it needed the help of outward Light?
A65879Were all they whom God should call Infants when called?
A65879Were not the Corinthians Saints, called in Christ?
A65879Were not the Prophets and Apostles of that houshold of God?
A65879Were the Corinthians then to eat and drink outwardly after their time, or so long after their deceases?
A65879Were they to use the outwa ● d Bread and Cup after they were dead then?
A65879What Righteousness( and whose) is it, which is the same with Sanctification, which is not perfect?
A65879What Scripture have you Priests of Scotland for that?
A65879What a feared conscience and shameless boldness have ye attained to?
A65879What darkness and error hast thou here implyed and signified?
A65879What excellent Logick is this?
A65879What greater promise can there be of freedom from sin, then to forsake the Devil and all his works, to be led by Gods Spirit to keep his Commands?
A65879What grose and fa ● se stuff hast thou implyed and vented?
A65879What is the Rule whereby the motions of the Spirit are to be tryed whether they be such, or the motions of Satan and our deceitful hearts?
A65879What is this less then to say, Paul said not true, when he said, It s not I that sin but sin that dwelleth in me?
A65879What sayes Antichrist, Satan and his Agents and Sophisters to it?
A65879What then are they that Rebel against the law, if they that obey it be wicked?
A65879What then, Are men Saved, Englightned, and Sanctifyed by that which is imperfect?
A65879What''s done upon his dying?
A65879What, all the faculties of Gods Children, having sin and corruption in them?
A65879Whe ● e provest that?
A65879When then do they overcome?
A65879Where do the Scriptures call it a Light of a natural Conscience?
A65879Where hast thou learned this, amongst the Popish Traditions and Reliques?
A65879Where learned''st this Phylosophy to define Faith?
A65879Where learnedest thou this distinction?
A65879Where provest thou by Scriptures, that sprinkling Infants is the Initial Seal of the Covenant?
A65879Where provest thou it was denied to Judas, or that Judas had no part of the same Grace?
A65879Where provest thou that they searched the Scriptures for what they determined, before they said, it seemed good to the holy ghost and us?
A65879Where then remained the necessity of the shadow, or outward Representations( or Mementoes as some calls them?)
A65879Where''s then the fruits and effects of true repentance?
A65879Whether it be Gods Grace to Peter denied to Judas?
A65879Whether these things were so?
A65879Who is it, that hath put the difference betwixt Peters believing, from Judas mis- believing?
A65879Who must send them if there be no immediate Teaching or Revelation now?
A65879Will thy telling us so often of Judas clear thee or confute us?
A65879Ye say; Must the Scriptures be the Rule to discern or try false Spirits when they speak Scripture?
A65879call what he wrot, the Gospel?
A65879in the Scriptures) is laid down as following believing?
A37042( Is there not a wise man amongst you?
A37042( and will any ingenuous and posteritycompassionating Reader think of this, and not be affected therewith?)
A3704219, 20. can it be but scandalous?
A3704220. and can such things be with the entertaining of civil peace?
A3704221?
A3704228, 29. Who is weak, and I am not weak?
A370426. condemneth their contentions going to Law before Infidels ▪ because of the scandal thereof, And why( saith he) do ye not rather suffer wrong?
A370428, and 10. and can there be any thing more to be shunned than these?
A37042Again, was there any Church that did more tenderly receive the Gospel, than these of Galatia?
A37042Again, we ask, What if such persons that withdraw and seek to enter a more holy society, should be refused?
A37042Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
A37042And can such afle ● … ting unconstant rule be that which Christ hath appointed in His Church to order the removing of offences?
A37042And can there danger come so night to Christ, and He not be displeased with what strengtheneth their snares?
A37042And do not these necessarily wait on del ates, and diversities of opinions?
A37042And doth not experience teach, that once liberty being taken in this, even things materially sinfull do often follow?
A37042And hath not experience confirmed this?
A37042And how men are to judge of, and walk in reference to, the same?
A37042And if it be satisfying in one, in reference to a particular offence, why not in another?
A37042And if this be not in Ministers, what can be expected amongst the people?
A37042And if through passion in a fit it be practised, is it not obstructive to the recovery of strength and healing?
A37042And is there any such good, as their spirituall good?
A37042And may it not from these appear why Christ hath said, Wo to that man by whom offences come?
A37042And what if He judge between Him and them out of their own mouth, and, according to the measure that they met out to others, met out to them?
A37042And what is the consequent thereof?
A37042And will it be safe, at once to condemn so many?
A37042And, 2. for what cause most ordinarily the Lord doth send such a judgment?
A37042And, 3. what sort of satisfaction they aim at, and if it be the parties gaining that they seek with their own satisfaction?
A37042And, if Paul will except no man, no, not himself, nay ▪ nor an Angel from Heaven, who can be excepted?
A37042Are they not to seek the peoples good?
A37042As suppose, that such a person did calumniate him, calling him false, covetous, hypocrite, thief, or such like, or did imprecate curses unto him?
A37042But, who should be chief and have the main hand in ruling?
A37042Can it be safe to communicate with such?
A37042Do not these words significantly and shyningly hold out, what the Mediator is still about, and that uniting in God is His design still?
A37042Do we not know, that often mens charity, in such cases, is swayed much by the judgment of some one or other who is esteemed of?
A37042For, doth not the interruption of civil p ● … ace, flow from hatred, bitternesse, alienation of mind, envy contradictions, and such like?
A37042For, if the Sessional or Elderships admonition have weight with the party, what needeth more in reference to him?
A37042Hast thou faith?
A37042How errour may be known to be a judgement or judiciall?
A37042How hath it grieved and weighted others?
A37042How hath it opened the mouths of such as lie in wait for something of this kind?
A37042How this debate is to be managed?
A37042How unsearchable are his judgements, and his wayes past finding out?
A37042I ● … any say that charity ought to judge such a man sincere seing it can have no more?
A37042IF it be asked then ▪ What is that which private persons ought to do in such a case?
A37042IF it be asked then, what is to be done, supposing persons not to give any satisfaction, even when they are brought to publick?
A37042IF it be asked, What duty further is called- for from private persons towards a person cut off?
A37042IF it be asked, What is to be accounted a satisfying and successefull admonition?
A37042IF it be said, What then is it which is called the Scandal of the Pharisees or the malicious, which ought not to be respected?
A37042IF it should be enquired, how this difference is to be made?
A37042IT may be also questioned, How it cometh that such absurd errours can come to such a height, and prevail so against the Church?
A37042IT may be now asked, What is to be done in reference to those who, after some grosle offence, can neither be counted thus serious, nor yet obstinat?
A37042IT may be yet further moved, Can there be no more allowed in any supposable case?
A37042IT resteth now that we should consider what is duty in such a time, or case, when delusion in lesse or more doth prevail, or is very like to prevail?
A37042If any of the People of God may be carried away with such abominable errours in doctrine?
A37042If he be a god, let him plead for himself: But will a tender heart think or speak so reproachfully of the Majesty of God?
A37042If it be any kind of scandal, or but scandals of such a nature?
A37042If it be asked again, how is he to be accounted of after this rebuke?
A37042If it be asked then, What can be understood by conviction?
A37042If it be asked then, What way men may discern the side that is to be followed in such a case, when inconveniencies threaten on all hands?
A37042If it be asked then, With what kind of defects or discontents may an union be made up?
A37042If it be asked then, under what notion, or upon what account that morall serious profession is to be accepted as satisfying?
A37042If it be asked, What further is to be done, if that fail?
A37042If it be asked, What hand the Lord can have in such a plague?
A37042If it be asked, What is the reason of this difference betwixt these two keys?
A37042If it be asked, What may be accounted such impediments, as a tender conscience may be justly scarred by from uniting?
A37042If it be asked, What usually was done in such cases where the Authority seemed to be declined?
A37042If it be asked, Whether any further duty be required from a Minister towards such a person after the Sentence is past?
A37042If it be asked, how this dissembling, mocking profession may be discovered?
A37042If it be asked, if speaking in publick by the person rebuked be alwayes necessary?
A37042If it be asked, what if the case stand so stated, that doing will offend the weak and tender, no doing will displease and irritate the perverse?
A37042If it be asked, when a person is to be accounted obstinate and guilty of not hearing the Church?
A37042If it be enquired how he prosecuteth this?
A37042If it be said, there was but one Church then, Therefore none could separate from the Ordinances in it?
A37042If it be scandalous in a gracious man, is not the same remedy to be used for the Churches good?
A37042If it continue yet doubtfull whether it be offensive or not, the same rule is to be followed, as if it were doubted whether it were lawfull or not?
A37042If it were asked, What kind of Government that may be most probably, wherein men ought to unite?
A37042If known evil in any that doth communicate, pollute the Ordinances in themselves, Then how can a Believer communicate with himself?
A37042If one scandal be sufficient, or if the ● … e must be many?
A37042If only something seen by themselves, or if something reported by others; and that whether it be judicially made out or only asserted?
A37042If the question be made, How a man in that case should carry himself?
A37042If these errours and corrupt teachers prevail, they carry souls after them, and destroy them; and ought that to be thought light of?
A37042Is i ● … possible to separate growth in delusions and variety of absurd errours, and civil faction and discord?
A37042Is there a necessity of living without a visible Church- state, wanting all Church- ordinances to our selves, and Baptism to our children?
A37042Israel doth not, or, will not hear me; And what will Pharaoh do?
A37042It may be again enquired, How useth a man to be thought serious in his pursuit after any thing?
A37042It may be asked, What if the person be no fixed member of any particular Congregation, who yet doth infect others?
A37042It may be asked, if one scandalous person alone doth pollute the Ordinances?
A37042It may be enquired, what evidences may demonstrate persons to be scandalous, and make them to be so accounted of?
A37042It may be further asked, What is to be done where there is a real difference betwixt parties, suppose for a civil interest?
A37042It may be questioned, How far offence ought to have influence on a Christian in his walk?
A37042It may be questioned, What if the person be godly, or accounted so?
A37042It may be said, But are not the Ordinances of Christ someway polluted by the unworthinesse of such scandalous partakers?
A37042It would be enquired, if they followed the privat steps?
A37042It would be seriously considered, what may be the thoughts of the generation that shall succeed?
A37042May not this be allowed to the Presbyteriall Church where the plurality of Church- officers think fit n ● … t to cast out?
A37042Might not Discipline have been more vigorous in many Congregations, if this had not been?
A37042Now these distinctions being premitted, we come to consider accordingly, How union may be made up, where division standeth upon such accounts?
A37042Now, if all these be put together, can it be thought strange to see the great ● … st delusion prevail?
A37042Now, is it probable that such a Church- judicatory will frequently be found that will fail grosly either of these wayes?
A37042Or if the person hath continued in the offence notwithstanding?
A37042Or is that then impossible?
A37042Or, are there any such enemies to that as seducers?
A37042Or, can the scandalous be serious in hearing, when there is no conviction on them, that they are serious and affected that speak?
A37042Or, how He may be said to send it?
A37042Or, is it not better to find out some other way of communicating apart, and not together with such?
A37042Or, what if the superiour Judicatory judged him to be sincere?
A37042Or, what way the devil by corrupt teachers doth so delude Professors?
A37042Or, when one hath given offence, and is admonished, to refuse to come out himself, or to keep another out of this snare?
A37042Ought he to stretch himself to the full and put forth his whole strength?
A37042Ought persons to try all those that they keep communion with, whether they be profane or 〈 ◊ 〉?
A37042Our nakednesse- discovering writings, what have they done but added oyl to the flame?
A37042Shall not they either continue miserable under such a condition, and that for ever, with such heightening circumstances as can not but follow?
A37042Shall such a division be propagated to them, and they made heirs thereto?
A37042Sometimes those who want not affection, are yet too condescending to erroncous Teachers: and why?
A37042Suppose in the same Judicatory some persons charity should be larger nor others, what is to be done in that case?
A37042THe second thing that we proposed to speak to in this remedy, was, as it relateth to Magistrates, to wit, Whether any thing be?
A37042Then, supposing that by the plurality of that Church, such persons were not accounted scandalous, or not cast out, what were to be done?
A37042Then, what is duty in that case?
A37042There is no possibility for one of them to convince the other; yea, can it but stir up new offences?
A37042This is that which heathens do out of meer respect to themselves: and shall Christian Magistrates have no respect to Christ but to themselves?
A37042Was there any errour like to that of worshipping stocks and stones?
A37042We must therefore place conviction in some other thing than that: and so in answer to the question, What is to be accounted conviction?
A37042What can be the fruit of that?
A37042What if neither party shall ever be brought to repent or acknowledge an offence?
A37042What if such Church- officer, should be partial?
A37042What if this had been the mind of the Churches and Servants of God from the beginning of the world?
A37042What is next to be done?
A37042What is the duty of private Christians, when Church- officers seem to be, and possibly indeed are, defective in reference to this?
A37042What is to be accounted conviction?
A37042What is to be done when offence is like to follow on either side?
A37042What is to be done when the Commands of Magistrates and Offence are in opposition?
A37042What is to be done, when the persons are not silent?
A37042What is to ● … ● … one when there is a real difference betwixt parties upon ● … dac count of a civil interest?
A37042What sort of sca ● … dals are to be enquired- in to make a person such as polluteth the Ordinances?
A37042What to be don whe ● … there is a real 〈 ◊ 〉 betw ● … xt p ● … r ti ● …, upon account of a civil interest?
A37042What way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to you?
A37042What when doing will offend the weak and tender, and irritate the perverse,& contra?
A37042What, if sufficient pains have been taken to inform, ● … or preventing of mens taking offence?
A37042What, if sufficient pains have been taken to inform?
A37042What, shall I praise you in this?
A37042What, when men stand not to offend us?
A37042What, when the Commands of Magistrates and Offence are in opposition?
A37042What, when the matter is lawfull& the offence doubtfull?
A37042Whether in all cases there be a necessity of a publick debate?
A37042Whether it be really the enjury to their name, or outward condition that swayeth them?
A37042Who is offended, and I burn you?
A37042Who is weak, and I am not weak?
A37042Why do ye not rather take the wrong?
A37042Yea, doth not the blessed Prince of Pastors Himself, often take notice of offences in His sermons?
A37042and how manies report is to be taken for proof; or if any that be so reported of, be so to be accounted?
A37042and how many are to be laid weight upon in this?
A37042and if a person may be accounted convinced, who yet may be keeping the last word, and confidently bragging of the victory?
A37042and if alone, and with some others, friendly and rationally they have endeavoured to convince them?
A37042and if he dare with confidence from his own particular dissatisfaction, mar the same amongst others?
A37042and if not, that they be remitted to follow that way, and if they have done it, It would be enquired, if their so doing have had no weight?
A37042and if so, How many?
A37042and if so, can polluted Ordinances be partaken of without sin?
A37042and if they have, shall there not be a new division?
A37042and some satisfying grounds how, and where to fix the difference, are to be laid down?
A37042and suffer your selves to be defrauded?
A37042and when he is gained, are not they to rest satisfied?
A37042and when they think the plain truths, and duties wherein there is no shaddow of a ground of stumbling, are below them?
A37042and where shall this end?
A37042and without this, can their carriage or publick Ministery have weight to this end?
A37042and, How union may be win at in them respectively?
A37042for ▪ a man, by seeking his own, may irritate another, and, Is there a necessity of abstaining in that case?
A37042how could one of these Judicatories convince the other, if charity only were the rule?
A37042how could they defend their Sentence?
A37042how hath it hardned those that had prejudice at Religion?
A37042how to account of a particular person his complaining or pursuing an offence which carrieth with it a particular enjury unto himself?
A37042in that case their charity will either be too narrow, or too broad, and can that be the rule of procedure in Christ''s House?
A37042o ● …, do no more for Christianity ▪ than heathens who owned it not?
A37042o ● …, in experience have they ever been separated?
A37042or if there must be moe?
A37042or, What should be the Governours duty?
A37042or, how it may be known when without guilt there may be some forbearance, and when not?
A37042or, what Rules may be walked by therein?
A37042shall the Church in such a case never attain to union?
A37042that is agreed upon: But the question is, Whether such a particular Synod be agreeable to such a Rule?
A37042who is offended, and I burn not?

A29750& that their Mouth''s speaking had discovered them not to be all of one minde?
A29750( as we shall hear they were) was it because Mr Blair''s words were too too plaine and distinct?
A2975014: 22, 23?
A297501585. saith so much, though at this time he had gote his Supremacie in Church- matters screwed up to the highest peg, he thought attainable?
A2975033: ver, 7, 8, 9, 10. and considered, what a fearful thing it is to fall into the hands of a living God?
A29750?
A29750Alas?
A29750And could it be uncertaine to rational observing Persons, what was the Designe of King and Councel, in- giving these Instructions, First and Last?
A29750And how long should the Gospel be preached in power, in any eminent place in the Land?
A29750And how our General Assemblie would have looked upon such Ministers, as should have submitted unto the like then, as they have done now?
A29750And how shall the Ministers then be called the Servants of Christ, and not the Servants of Men?
A29750And if all this should be, whom have we to thank therefore, but the Indulged?
A29750And if it had been so, as to the Prelates, why not here also, as to the Council?
A29750And if so, can people be condemned, who do not, nor can not, owne, and countenance them, as formerly they did?
A29750And if such a thing were intended, hath not the Indulgence broken the ice thereunto?
A29750And if there be a difference, how can any condemne those, who can not now owne them, as they did formerly?
A29750And may not he also speak thus, who hath the Cordial Invitation and call of those concerned?
A29750And now, when we ourselves were thrust from the publick Exercise of our Ministrie, are we found lamenting after the Lord?
A29750And seing now none dar condemne such, as withdraw from the Curats; why shall these be condemned, who withdraw from the Indulged?
A29750And seing the Business of the Indulgence was but of this Nature, why might it not be acquiesced unto?
A29750And shall not now, the Countenancing and hearing of the Indulged, be an Homologating and a virtual approving of their sinful way of En ● y?
A29750And then, what could their giving of a sense afterward import?
A29750And was this all?
A29750And what is understood here, by seditious discourses or expressions, we can not be ignorant?
A29750And what shall then be said of them, who preach in the fields?
A29750And what shall then become of the Liberty of our Church?
A29750And what was that Testimony, and when and in what Station, was it given by such, as were free to make use of it?
A29750And what were these mistakes?
A29750And when the Indulged Persons did thus, who can assoile them from a plaine Defection from our Cause and Principles?
A29750And when the Magistrates with their own hand overturne all, shall this Objection be made use of, to countenance their After- practices?
A29750And where should our Church- liberties then be?
A29750And whether or not lesser faults in Ministers, were not punished with simple Deposition?
A29750And whither shall we then cause our shame to go?
A29750And whom had we to thank for breaking the ice?
A29750And why should nor the Magistrat Command Ministers to do the duties of their Calling, according to the Word of God?
A29750And would not this be a manifest homologating and concurring with the Council, in carrying- on of this wicked Designe?
A29750Are not they a sad preparative?
A29750Are we found lying in the dust, loathing ourselves in the remembrance of the sad and soul- afflicting ruine, which fell under our hand?
A29750But against this it is said, May not the Man, who returneth to his own Congregation, from which he was unjustly thrust away, say this?
A29750But now the generality being for the subscribing of it, what became of it?
A29750But now, what Conscientious Minister can either tacitely promise such a thing, or upon the highest ● eril forbear to utter such discourses?
A29750But now, when all thoughts of subscribing that Paper were laid aside, what course was taken?
A29750But some will say, what is that to the Indulged?
A29750But to what purpose is all this waste of Words?
A29750But what can be said of such of the Indulged, as were sent to their own Charges?
A29750By what Law can the Church be robbed of this Power?
A29750C?
A29750Can I be answerable to God who sent me, to render up my self willingly to be a servant of men?
A29750Could any have justified them in this, or judged their carriage Ministerial?
A29750Could this more prevent the trouble of Tongues and Pens both?
A29750Did ever King Iames assume this power unto himself?
A29750Did ever our Divines( for I except Court Chaplains, and Parasites, whom I account none of ours) write or say such a thing?
A29750Did such as wanted this unanimous Call or Consent of the People, give back the Councils Warrand, as weak and insufficient?
A29750Did we, I say, deal plainly with the men of these abominations, these prodigious wickednesses, these hateful and heaven- dareing practices?
A29750Do not they, who do more, than ever these were tempted to do, and that without the least hesitancy, say, that these suffered as fools?
A29750Do we not say, that Countenancing and hearing of the Curats is an Homologating and a virtual approving of their sinful way of Entry?
A29750Doth it not hence appear, that this was a manifest Usurpation of the Power and Privilege of the Church?
A29750Had not that been a direct crossing of the designe and purpose of the King and Court?
A29750He saith, in end, some made a motion, which, with common consent, so far as could be discerned, was embraced: And what was this?
A29750Head of Arguments?
A29750How came it that all of them did not unanimously agree in this Testimonie?
A29750How can any blame such, as, out of tenderness to the Royal Prerogatives of Jesus Christ, scruple to owne, and hear them, as formerly?
A29750How can such be condemned, who refuse to countenance them, while thus stated in and by the Indulgence?
A29750How can those be now condemned, who can not owne them, as they did formerly?
A29750How did this debate issue?
A29750How little security, I pray, shall the wings of the Supremacie be able to give, in that day?
A29750How long should Gospel freedom be keeped up,& the Gospel flourish?
A29750How shall we then judge well of the Indulgence, that gave the necessary rise unto that prodigious Act?
A29750How then can such be condemned, who, out of a desire to be kept free of this sin, dar not countenance or hear them, as formerly?
A29750How unreasonable is it to condemne such, as, out of a tender care to adhere to their Presbyterian Principles, dat not owne and hear such, as formerly?
A29750I would ask, whether they look upon themselves, as the fixed Pastors of those particular Flocks and Churches, or not?
A29750If not, what was it to the purpose then in hand?
A29750If not, why did they accept of such a Licence from the Council?
A29750If the Paper was defective( as very like it was) why was it not helped?
A29750If the former be said, then why was any troubled at Mr B''s refusing to receive these Instructions?
A29750If the former was his meaning, as I am apt to think; why were the Brethren so offended with what Mr Blair said hereafter?
A29750If they accounted it Lawful, why were they so disingenuous, as to simulate some hesitation, when they were clear and certaine?
A29750If they own themselves for fixed Pastors, what is become of their relation to their Former Charges?
A29750If they were not clear to embrace these Instructions; why did they not unanimously agree to tell this in plaine termes?
A29750Is there now a corresponding how to excite one another unto the first Love, and to the first works of the Church of Scotland?
A29750Leaving therefore this sad subject, I come to make a blunt and abrupt inquirie how did we behave?
A29750May not the Magistrate, for ends known to himself, discharge Ministers to preach, for a time; and thereafter permit them to preach?
A29750May not their example prove noxious to the following Generations?
A29750Might not every one have said, that they had taken up their Ministrie, in an unlawful way, not approved of God; and so had run unsent?
A29750No reformed Orthodox Anti- Erastian Divine will say not, and if the former be said( as it must be said) Then quo jure?
A29750Not to insist nere on enquiring who were those, who were free to make use of that,( which he calleth Liberty) having given a Testimony?
A29750Now, what can this notion be, under which they received these Papers, but the Magistrat''s power Objectively Ecclesiastical?
A29750Or betwixt the Councel and such of his B ● ethren, as spoke?
A29750Or did the Lord call for nothing else?
A29750Or how came it, that their Common Mouth did not speak what was the Common opinion of all?
A29750Put the case, that some Ministers had done so in the Year 1649. how would they have been looked upon by our General Assembly?
A29750Shall I make this the question: Is it not simply unlawful to hear them?
A29750Was it subscribed indeed?
A29750Was then this Indulgence the thing, which the General good of the Church and Kingdom called for?
A29750Was there no more requisite in this case?
A29750Was this the only duty of the day?
A29750Well, what came of this question?
A29750Were it not better that we were all united as one, to withstand that Inundation?
A29750Were not this to cut- out my owne tongue with my owne hands?
A29750Were the Indulged put in best capacitie by the Indulgence, to serve their Generation, according to the necessity of the day?
A29750Were they betwixt his Brethren?
A29750What Son of the Church of Scotland could have accepted of a favour, in the bosome of which lay this Reproach?
A29750What publick Protestation was, I pray, given in against this, first or last?
A29750What shall we then think of the Indulgence, that must be legitimat by such an Act?
A29750What was said, that might declare their dissent from this piece of Encroachment?
A29750What were these mistakes, that Mr H. stepped now in, before the time, to remove?
A29750When these Presentations were abolished, and the people restored to their liberty of Electing their own Ministers?
A29750Whence came this change?
A29750Who will scruple at this now, after the Indulged men have thus broken the ice?
A29750Why did not such as had received them cast them back againe?
A29750Why then shall not the accepting of this Indulgence, when granted by the King and his Council, be an homologating of their Usurpation?
A29750Why was Mr Blair so much condemned, who did but refuse the accepting of these, that had been expressed in the Act, and were then exhibited?
A29750Why was it not plainly affirmed, that they would not receive these, that the Councel tendered unto them?
A29750Why was the matter made worse, by giving- in no Paper at all, but committing the matter to the uncertain Expressions of one of their number?
A29750Why were not those condemned, who had received them?
A29750Will it therefore follow, that they can prescribe Rules, to regulate Magistrats in the exercise of their functio ●?
A29750Will nor Intrants, in that case, willingly submit, and think themselves obliged to do so, having such a preparative before them?
A29750Will not, I pray, many of these, who have complied with Prelacie, and with the courses, that have been carried on, profess an abhorrence at Popery?
A29750Will the Confinement, or Imprisonment of a Ministers Person, go under that Name?
A29750Would not they have all doing, as they have done?
A29750Yea, had they not in this assented also mediatly unto the Supremacy, seing all the Prelats Power did flow from the Supremacie?
A29750Yea, though it had wanted the subscription of one, who was unwilling to subscribe?
A29750Yea, was not the whole Business so carried on from First to Last, as half an eye might have discovered a wicked Designe therein?
A29750],[ Edinburgh?
A29750and what less shall now hereby be granted to him, in reference to Ministers, as such?
A29750and what the weight of the bloud of souls is?
A29750can they be justly condemned, who now withdraw from them?
A29750did not their silence confirme the Councel of the lawfulness of the Obedience, required to these Injunctions?
A29750if he meaned the same Rules, why was the matter expressed in such general and not obviously intelligible Termes?

A47584How should the earth disclose our blood, if it should not bee unjustly spilt?
A47584I think( said Lethington) ye meane of the History of Iehu, What will yee prove thereby?
A47584If Elisha had not been of counsel, That the city should have been kept, Why should the King have more fumed against him, then against others?
A47584If they would honour and obey him as Christs Minister, and comfort and assist him in every thing pertaining to his Charge?
A47584If this was his judgement in so small a matter, what have we to suspect in this our Cause?
A47584If thou have received, why gloriest thou?
A47584If your Majesty demand, Why that now we are more earnest, then we have been heretofore?
A47584Iohn Knox demanded, Did you consent( my Lord) to any part of that Treason?
A47584Iohn Knox demanded, My Lord, Who hath betrayed you?
A47584Is not that Treason?
A47584It was answered, All the godly: Will the Duke, said Lethington?
A47584It was demanded, What could be reprehended in it?
A47584Item, If it be asked, In case the Castle be enemy, Where the Armie shall be placed?
A47584Item, If it be required, How the Munition shall be carried, and oxen furnished to that effect?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked concerning the Castle of Edinburgh, If they will stand friends or not?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked of you, How the Armies shall be furnished with Victuals, and especially the Horse- men?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked of you; At what place our friends and brethren of England shall be met?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked the place and manner of meeting of our folks, or of us and them, in case Sterlin be kept?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked, That their leaden money shall have passage for their necessities?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked, What Pioners shall be had?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked, What manner of way Leith shall be assaulted?
A47584Item, If it shall be asked, Who shall be Lieutenant to the Army of Scotland?
A47584Item, If it shall be enquired, What number our whole Army extends to?
A47584Item, In case it be enquired of all by- lyers and neutrals, and in especiall of the Lord of Huntley, and the North?
A47584Knave, quoth one, What have you to do to meddle with the Scripture?
A47584Lord( said the Queen) What say you to that?
A47584May not he compell me to answer, of his extort power?
A47584May not the like be true this day?
A47584May we not suffer her a little while?
A47584May we( think ye) take the Queens Masse from her?
A47584Mockest thou at Gods threatnings?
A47584Mournest thou for the great abominations that now over- flowes the Realm of England?
A47584No offence,( said he) Have you not written Letters, desiring the brethren from all parts to convene, to Andro Armstrong and Patrick Cranstons?
A47584No, we finde no such thing, but the one and the other, wee finde to have continued and increased in former impiety: But what was the end hereof?
A47584Now( Madame) who shall judge betwixt us, two thus contending?
A47584Now, Madame, if ye shall deny your Duty unto them, who especially crave that ye punish Malefactors; Think ye to receive full Obedience of them?
A47584O how ready would we be to help others, if we knew his goodnesse and gentlenesse towards us?
A47584O thou the eternall, the God of Hosts, how long shalt thou be against the prayer of thy people?
A47584O where is this fervencie now?
A47584Or beleeveth he that I am unprovided to render account of my Doctrine?
A47584Or shall I be condemned before I be heard?
A47584Or shall the presence of a woman cause us to offend God, and to condemne an innocent against our consciences, for the pleasure of any creature?
A47584Or shall those that obey the wicked commandment of those that are placed in Authority, be excusable before God?
A47584Or to what end should he have died for thee, if any works of thine might have saved thee?
A47584Question was had, What should they mean?
A47584Read the Ecclesiasticall Histories, and ye shall finde examples sufficient?
A47584Remembrest thou not that England hath brought thee forth?
A47584Remove him, and who abideth there who carefully will travell in that or any other weighty matter in these parts?
A47584Repinest thou when God requireth obedience?
A47584Shall I name the man?
A47584Shall not the glory of the sons of God follow in the generall Resurrection, when the Son of God shall appear in his glorious Majestie?
A47584Shall there not be four Regents chosen?
A47584Shalt thou not judge the Citie of blood, which hath made Idols?
A47584She said, What stability shall we judge to be in this world?
A47584She will incontinently returne to her Galleyes, and what then shall all Realmes say of us?
A47584Soon after they were called in one by one, and demanded how much they would lend?
A47584That she should have Masse publikely, he affirmed that he would never consent: But to have it secretly in her Chamber, Who could stop her?
A47584The Bishops hereat offended, said, What prating is this?
A47584The Captain said, Will ye not go to the Masse?
A47584The Cardinall wakened with the shouts, asked from his window, What meant that noyse?
A47584The Earle of Huntley said, What a babling foole is this?
A47584The King willing to put an end to further reasoning, said to the said Adam Reade; Wilt thou burn thy bill?
A47584The Master answers again, What shall we do then with the Saints?
A47584The Queen Regent proud of this Victory, burst forth into her blasphemous railing, and said, Where is now John Knox his God?
A47584The Sub- Prior said to him, Father, What say ye?
A47584The fellow replied, To whom should it be said, but to God alone?
A47584The said Master George, as that he was most sharpe of eye and judgement, marked him, and as he came neere, he said; My friend, what would you do?
A47584The sum of all his Sermon was, They say we, should Preach; Why not?
A47584Then Iohn Spencer spake to her of the works of congruo and condigno; to which she answered, Work here, work there; what kinde of working is all this?
A47584Then if it be lawfull to Preach, and heare it Preached in all Tongues; Why should it not be lawfull to reade it, and hear it read in all Tongues?
A47584Then the ravening Wolves turned unto madnesse, and said; Wherefore let we him speak any farther?
A47584There was heard nothing of the Queens part, but, My joyes, my hearts, What ayles you?
A47584These Supplications was presented by divers Gentlemen; the Flatterers of the Court at first stormed, and asked who durst avow it?
A47584Thinke you( said she) That Subjects, having power, may resist their Princes?
A47584This is a good beginning( she said) but know you whereat I laugh?
A47584This was granted to be true of many: But wherein( said Master Iohn Knox) can I be accused?
A47584Thou wilt ask me, What Word?
A47584Thou wilt say ▪ Then maketh it no matter what we do?
A47584Thou wilt say, Shall we then do no good works?
A47584Thou wilt say, Wherefore doth God command us that which is impossible for us?
A47584To betray his Cause when ye have it in your own hands, to establish it as you please?
A47584To whom?
A47584Was David( said I) and Hezekiah Princes of great and godly gifts and experience, abused by crafty Councellors and dissembling Hypocrites?
A47584Was all Leith of the Congregation?
A47584Was not the whole and every member addebted to confesse and acknowledge the benefits of God?
A47584Was there any defection espied before their arrivall?
A47584Was there none amongst you who did foresee what inconveniences might ensue his absence from these parts?
A47584We demand of you, What power& commandment have ye so to do?
A47584Well,( said Lethington) Let us come to the second head?
A47584What Emperour then believed in Christ, that he should serve him in making Laws for godlinesse against impiety?
A47584What Gravity, above age?
A47584What Wisdom, wherein he passed all understanding or expectation of man?
A47584What and I ask drink, Think ye that I sinne?
A47584What assurance have ye this day of your Religion, which the world that day had not of theirs?
A47584What can that hurt us, or our Religion?
A47584What carnall man would not have judged the perswasions of the Prophet most foolish and false?
A47584What danger should I feare?
A47584What felloship is there betwixt Light and darknesse?
A47584What have you to do( said she) with my marriage, or what are you within the Common- wealth?
A47584What is a Saviour?
A47584What is the cause that Winchester and the rest of his pestilent sect, so greedily would have a Spanyard to reign over England?
A47584What is this( said the Queen) methinks you trifle with him: Who gave you Authority to make Convocation of my Lieges?
A47584What must I do that I may be saved?
A47584What number?
A47584What say ye?
A47584What sayest thou of the Masse, speires the Earle of Huntly?
A47584What then( said another) shall we leave to the Bishops and Church- men for to do?
A47584What was I, that I should meddle with such matters?
A47584What was our number?
A47584What was the Commission given unto the Apostles?
A47584What wonder is it then, that a young and innocent King be deceived by craftie, covetous, wicked and ungodly Counsellors?
A47584What, is this to say Christ died for thee?
A47584What?
A47584Where is my Lord Cardinall?
A47584Where is thy righteousnesse, goodnesse and satisfaction?
A47584Wherein( said he) rebells she against God?
A47584Whether may we cast away what we please, and retaine what we please?
A47584While many doubted what the said Iohn should answer, he said unto the Queen, Is it lawfull for me, Madame, to answer for my self?
A47584While such disorder rises more and more in the Army, every man cried aloud ▪ My Lord Lievtenant, What will ye do?
A47584While that saying of the Prophet was compleat, Why hath Nations raged, and people have imagined vanity?
A47584Who is the author of it?
A47584Who lived in that rest, as that he had been crucified with Christ?
A47584Who lived in that rest, as that he had certainly looked for trouble to come upon him?
A47584Who seeth not now, that she in all her doings declareth most manifestly, that under an English name she beareth a Spaniards heart?
A47584Who was most bold to crie Bastard, Bastard?
A47584Who was most frank and ready to destroy Sommerset, and set up Northumberland?
A47584Whom blameth your Majesty( said the other) thereof?
A47584Whom other desirest thou to be thy JUDGE?
A47584Whose Rulers shed blood to the uttermost of their power?
A47584Why doth he deliver us from trouble, but that we should be witnesses unto the world, that he is gracious and mercifull?
A47584Why doth he reaveal his holy will unto us, but that we should obey it?
A47584Will God in this behalf hold you as innocents?
A47584Will ye not acknowledge this your brother for the Minister of Christ Jesus, your Overseer and Pastour?
A47584Will ye not gain- stand and convince the gain- sayers, and the teachers of mens inventions?
A47584Will ye not reverence the Word of God that proceedeth from his mouth?
A47584Will ye not studie to promove the same, as well by your life, as by your Doctrine?
A47584Will ye not then containe your self in all Doctrine within the bounds of this foundation?
A47584Wilt thou have a triall whether the root of faith remaineth with thee or not?
A47584Wilt thou recompence the benefits which thou hast received of that Noble Realm with that ingratitude?
A47584Wilt thou then be without fear of the Power?
A47584Wouldst thou, O Scotland, have a King to raign over thee in justice, equity, and mercy?
A47584Ye interpret the Scriptures( said she) in one manner, and they in another; Whom shall I believe, and who shall be Judge?
A47584Yea, what wisdome or worldly policie was in us, to have brought to any good end so great an enterprise?
A47584You said, What had I to do to speak of your Marriage?
A47584and next by what authority are ye assured of well- doing?
A47584and who appointed and put his Army in order?
A47584as also of the form of Prayer which ye commonly use?
A47584containeth in it self a vehemency; as if he should have said, Whether doubtest thou of my power, or of my promises, or of my good will?
A47584did he correct his Idolatrous wife Iezabel?
A47584how long wilt thou suffer thy Self and thy blessed Evangell to be despised of men?
A47584needeth he any thing of thine, who giveth all things, and is not the poorer?
A47584or else, Why did he not so confirm him in faith, that he should not have doubted?
A47584shall the Laird of Lethington have power to controll us?
A47584that England hath promoted thee to riches, honour and high dignitie?
A47584that England nourished thee?
A47584was it not Shebna?
A47584was not the Congregation under Appointment with her?
A47584was there ever a Minister that gave thanks to God for her Majesties liberalitie towards them?
A47584who assured him of victory?
A47584who but Sobna, who could best dispatch businesses, that the rest of the Councell might Hawk, and Hunt, and take their pleasure?
A47584who was judged to be the soule and life to the Counsell in every matter of weighty importance?
A47584will ye condemne all that my Lord Cardinall and the other Bishops and we have done?
A47584yea, had it not been the part of every man to have studied to keep the possession which he had received?
A47584yea, that they, and the true Religion which they professe, shall in a moment utterly be consumed?
A59963& grand father?
A59963( 2) Wether we beleeve that the Testimony of every one shall be called for, in the day when God shall seek out this wickedness?
A59963( 3) I retort that old recocta Crambe, who should be Judge, whether they were their oun Lawful Kings or not?
A59963( 3) Whether, if ever it be necessary, it be not then when Christ is openly opposed, and every one is called either to concur or to testifie?
A59963( 4) Whether a Testimony against a wicked Law must not be notour?
A59963( 7) Whether we do not take it for granted, that according as a man hath Testified, the sentence of the righteous Judge shall pass?
A59963( For how otherwise can Poperie be exstirpated?
A59963( as they are at this day) shall people do nothing for the defence of it then?
A5996312. whom we are to obey and submit our selves as those who are accountable to Christ only, for to whom else can they give account of souls?
A5996314 — O happy Scotland, if thow canst now improve& not abuse this Golden opportunity?
A5996314. to the end — for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
A599632. the people of God are reproved, for making themselves home born slaves; how?
A599636. what Dogs?
A59963635. what then?
A599638. by making Confederacies with them; what followes?
A59963Again he asked, what they meant by ouning?
A59963Again is it not plain, that the Abstract& the Concrete, the act or habit, and the subject wherein it is, can not have a contrary Denomination?
A59963An a principe peti possit confiscatio bonorum, illorum nomine& gratia, quibus persecutio intenditur?
A59963An aliquando licet occidere hominem Authoritate privata?
A59963And Elisha said unto the King of Israel, what have I to do with thee?
A59963And are not Tyrants the greatest of Thieves, that rob& destroy twenty for one of private Robbers?
A59963And do they not require this as such a sign on such a Condition?
A59963And does not a National promise of preserving the Reformation, bind as much to the curse of the breach of it?
A59963And if the fathers vow obliges the Children ▪ shall not the Nations vow oblige the posterity?
A59963And is not publick preaching indispensable Duty too?
A59963And must we onne him to be a Nursing father to the Church?
A59963And shall they be obeyed?
A59963And shall we put them upon our head, who are infamously suspected of Parricide, both projected& perpetrated?
A59963And the Destroyer of all our rights& Liberties, and all our legal securities for them, in the preservation of these rights& Liberties?
A59963And the best Expositors of the place do alle ● ge, the question& doubt of Christians then, was not so much in whom the Supremacy was?
A59963And this another, Was the killing of the Bishop of St Andrewes horrid Murther?
A59963And to set such a man over them and not such an one, if they had no influence in making one at all?
A59963And what is Anarchy, but the playing the Rex of the Natural power over the Moral?
A59963And what shall we say of his Brother succeeding, who disdains all bonds, whose professed principle is, as a Papist to keep no faith to Hereticks?
A59963And what should make the taking away of honour from the proper object to be sin, and the giving it to a wrong object to be no sin?
A59963And who dare adde without a precept in the Worship of God, either for matter, or manner, or end, what He hath not commanded?
A59963And who dare be so impudent as to deny ● his to be most reasonable& just?
A59963And who knowes not the cruel designs of the Papists now?
A59963And will not this bring doun wrath upon us from the Lord?
A59963Are men therefore obliged to oune his authority?
A59963As the question was never put to the people, whether they ouned his Authority as Lawful or not?
A59963But are not Tyrants& Usurpers haters of right?
A59963But can a subjection of this extent, be payed to a Tyrant or Usurper?
A59963But can it be imagined that all this is due to a Tyrant& Usurper?
A59963But is it not enough that they menace Heaven?
A59963But now how shall this Testimony be given by us conveniently?
A59963But shall the King also be punished?
A59963But then it will be urged, why then was that clause cast into the Covenant?
A59963But what could be their hire they gave them for it, if it was not their Taxations they payed, and money they sent unto them?
A59963But who sees not the disparity in every respect?
A59963But why are not the Reformers condemned for the same things?
A59963But will men put out their oun eyes, that they may be taken with the more tameness to grind in their Mill, and make them merry at our madness?
A59963But will the world never be a wakened out of this Dream& dotage, of Dull& stupid subjection to every Monster that can Mount a Throne?
A59963By Authority, whether did they mean the Administration of it, as now improved?
A59963By me Tyrants reign& Usurpers decree injustice?
A59963By what Authority shall Judgement be execute upon them?
A59963Can Tyrants& Usurpers be such?
A59963Can an Oath be taken in Truth& Righteousness, to assist him in all encroachments, upon Causes, that are not subordinate to him?
A59963Can he be a Father& Patron to us against our will, by the sole power of the sword?
A59963Can he be called a father, who accounts his subjects slaves?
A59963Can it be imagined, that a people acting rationally would give a power absolutely without restrictions to destroy all their oun rights?
A59963Can it be out of conscience, because he is the Lords Minister for good?
A59963Can no power at first unjust, afterward become just?
A59963Can there be any Instances of the Primitive Christians adduced?
A59963Can these Scriptures consist with the Judges dependence on the kings pleasure, in the exercise& execution of their Power?
A59963Can these be the fathers we are bound to honour in the fifth Commandment?
A59963Can they be said to be Gods among whom the Lord judgeth?
A59963Can we consent, that we& our posterity should be slaves?
A59963Can we honour them who are vile, and the vilest of men, how high soever they be exalted?
A59963Can we pray that God would bless him on a Throne of iniquity?
A59963Can we support those we are bound to suppress?
A59963Could they suppose this boundless& Lawless Creature, left at Liberty to Tyrannize, would be a fit mean to procure the the ends of Government?
A59963Could we pray, that the Lord would bless a Drunkard in his drunkenness, abusing his enjoyments?
A59963Dare any say then, that a Magistrats or Tyrants Laws can exauctorate a Minister?
A59963Do they indeed fear a forreign invasion?
A59963Emperour, or Governour?
A59963For hath not he& his Complices made the Kingdom a Curse?
A59963For the Question is not, if when they think themselves injured they may Resist?
A59963For what is Authority, but a right to rule?
A59963For, it is demanded, how doth the Son or Brother succeed?
A59963Further, let it be inquired, what makes it unimitable?
A59963God hath ordained Marriage, therefore any may cohabit together as man& wife, without formal Matrimony?
A59963Great Kings- men all of them, who despise& ● oasted them, what is this that ye do?
A59963Have they not invaded the Mediators Kingdom, and taken to themselves His House in possession?
A59963Have we lost our senses, that we may with confidence jeopard our Souls?
A59963He propones the question: If sometimes it be Lawful to kill a man by private Authority?
A59963How then can the Followers of the Lamb strike hands, be at peace, associate, confederate, or bargain with such a declared Enemy to Christ?
A59963Idolatry( sayth he in his conference with Lithington) ought not only to be suppressed, but the Idolater ought to die the death: but by whom?
A59963Iehu the Prophet is sent to him, Should thow love them that hate the Lord?
A59963Iesus or Cesar?
A59963If Kings be not among the Mighty, how shall they be classed?
A59963If the Kingdom be his by birth as an inheritance, why may he not upon necessary occasions sell his inheritance?
A59963If the first be said, they grant all I plead for: for thô the Power in general be ordained, yet what is this to Tyrants& Usurpers?
A59963If we cast at Divine Laws for Rules of Government, where wil we find better Laws?
A59963If we have been forward to assist our Neighbour Kingdoms, shall we neglect to defend our oun?
A59963In this Case then I demand, whether their impunity is necessary, because they must not be put to death?
A59963In this Case would, or durst any of the Lovers of Iesus comply with any of these demands?
A59963Is it fit to say to a King, thow art wicked?
A59963Is it not necessary that forces be maintained and such as are in publick office in the Kingdom?
A59963Is it not then both a part of the Witness of the Faithful, and of their wisdom to stand aloof from such a Plague, that hath such destructive effects?
A59963Is not this the case now?
A59963Is this our Crying?
A59963Is this our endeavour that the wicked may be brought to condign punishment?
A59963Is this our strugling?
A59963It is sure the Phisicians duty: but what if he will not?
A59963It is true this is spoken against Church- men; but will any think that will be approven in Civil Powers, which is so hateful in Church Officers?
A59963It will be easy to adduce thousands: Or shall this be satisfaction for his life, that he is a Crowned King?
A59963Lord how long shall the wicked?
A59963Must these things depend on the Magistrats Allowance?
A59963Must we beleeve, that a Religion- destroying Tyrant is a righteous Ruler?
A59963No man needs to say, who shall be Judge?
A59963Nor endeavour to kill none of that murdering Crew, because they are in his service?
A59963Now can we oune all these abommable Creatures to be Magistrates?
A59963Now how were they said to be without a Ruler, when the Chaldean actually commanded& absolutely ruled over them?
A59963Now if we require this qualification in the subordinate, why not in the Supreme?
A59963Now shall the Laws be like Spiders webs, which hold flies, but let bigger beasts pass through?
A59963Now what else was the voice of Samuel, than a disswasion?
A59963Now what hast thow to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?
A59963Now ye shall say, we have no King, because we feared not the Lord, what then should a King do to us?
A59963Nowny agaireason can be given for his opening his windowes?
A59963O God to whom vengeance belongeth?
A59963O how amiable are His Tabernacles?
A59963One Objection is to be removed here: Can the Customs of the Iewes be binding to all Nations?
A59963One would think this behoved to be a very great favour, from a very great friend, for very gracious ends: But what is it?
A59963Or a Thief in Stealing his, though he used his purchase never so soberly?
A59963Or by refusing, expose my self to the hazard of being robbed or slain?
A59963Or can he think to be saved, when they shall be sentenced who with so much deliberation& despight have done this thing?
A59963Or disobey and suffer?
A59963Or shall the Enemies of God be more active against His cause, than His people for it?
A59963Shall I obey and be free?
A59963Shall Sentence be past for petty wrongs against a man, and none for Tyrannizing over Religion, Laws,& Liberties of the Kingdom?
A59963Shall even he that hateth right Govern?
A59963Shall even he that hateth right govern?
A59963Shall he notwithstanding of this, give what these enemies to Christ, call for as His Concurrence, to enable them to execute their wicked Contrivance?
A59963Shall it be for want of witnesses?
A59963Shall none be past against parricide or fratricide, for killing his Brother, Murdering the Nobles, and burning Cities?
A59963Shall the Throne of iniquity have fellowship with Thee that frameth mischief by a Law?
A59963Shall the Throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, that Frameth Mischief by a Law?
A59963Shall these guard the Nation, who together with Religion tread upon the poor remaining shadow of Liberty?
A59963Shall they exhort them?
A59963Shall we love the ungodly, and help those that hate the Lord?
A59963Shall we oune these, against whom the Lord hath engaged His Holiness by Oath so solemnly, that He will fish them with hooks?
A59963Shall we refuse to be slaves to one without, and be,& oune our selves contented Slaves to one with in the Kingdom?
A59963Should not we then hate that which the Lord hates, and withdraw from that which He hath forsaken?
A59963Should we again break thy Commandments,& join in affinity with the people of these abominations?
A59963Should we thus help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord?
A59963So when Israel saw that the King hearkened not unto them, they answered, what portion have we in David?
A59963Sulpitius Asper, being asked, why he had combined with others against Nero, and thought to have killed him?
A59963The Commands of Publick Justice, to whom are they given but to Magistrats?
A59963The Kings of Iudah made such Covenants, shall therefore all Kings do so?
A59963The Law requiring these payments being promulgate, every man must be supposed to put the question to himself, what shall I do in the case?
A59963The Negative Grounds?
A59963The first can not be said: for, that would justify all robbery: Nor the second, for where is that Law found?
A59963The question moved after the usual forme, was, Do ye onne the Authority of King Iames the 7?
A59963Then, who made him a King?
A59963Therefore what can remain, but that he must be a fiduciary Servant?
A59963They ouned him; but how?
A59963This could not be taken in Truth, Judgement,& Righteousness: for, who can tell how far that may extend, upon any pretence whatsoever?
A59963To the question then, who shall be Judge between these Usurping& Tyrannizing Rulers& us?
A59963To what purpose are these Rules given them, if they had no interest to choose their Magistrats?
A59963Was ever a fool so fettered?
A59963Was it only to let in the air?
A59963Was only that they were entysed, or did entyse them into a Communion with their Idolatry?
A59963What Command can there be for praying for that, which is against the preceptive Will of God?
A59963What are these forces and publick Officiers for?
A59963What are they employed about, but to promote the Dragons designs, and serve his drudgerie?
A59963What are we, but sillie men?
A59963What defence needs the Lord against Tyrants?
A59963What have we to Congratulate him for, but for overturning our Laws& Liberties, and oppressing us in most grievous Tyranny?
A59963What if all this should be granted?
A59963What if both King& Nobles turn enemies to Religion?
A59963What if the Royal line surcease, there be no Prophets now sent to make Kings: And if they have power in these cases, why not in the case of Tyranny?
A59963What if those in publick Authority be the Murderers?
A59963What if vve find among them Meetings, that vvere Called& Counted as Seditious& Schismatick, as Ours are novv?
A59963What is here to be reprehended?
A59963What should hinder then Justice to be awarded upon a Murdering King?
A59963What sort or size of Possession can be ouned to give a right?
A59963What then shall appease the wrath of God, for the unp ● ralelled breach of Covenant with God in our day?
A59963What?
A59963When it is an evil time, the evil of sin is incumbent, and the evil of wrath is impendent over a Land; then the Lyon hath roared who will not fear?
A59963Where was there ever such an arbitrary& absolute power arrogated by any Mortal, as hath been claimed by our Rulers these years past?
A59963Whereupon this became a Criminal question robbing many of their Lives, Was the rising at Bothwel- bridge Rebellion and a sin against God?
A59963Wherewithall shall the Nation be guarded against forreign invasion?
A59963Whether it must be taken in that of the Imposers, practically explained by their administrations?
A59963Whither publick or private?
A59963Who durst concur then in this Complyance, who had love to Christ in exercise, and who had his friends in the same bottom imbarqued?
A59963Why should not the young Lyons roar upon them, and make their Land wast?
A59963Why should not they be spoyled?
A59963Why then shall the Representatives betraying their Trust, wrong the Cause of the people, whose Trustees they are?
A59963Will Mischiefs framed into a Law, warrant such iniquity?
A59963Will they mock us into the same Rebellion with themselves?
A59963Will ye( quoth she) allow they shall take my Sword in their hand?
A59963Would God command them to set a King over them, if they had not power to do it?
A59963Would Samuel write in a Book the rules of Tyranny, to teach to oppress, contrary to the Law of God?
A59963Would any that favoured Davids righteous Cause, have dared to do any of these?
A59963Would men be hindered by Law, from seeking their natural food?
A59963Would not this be wickedness thus to pray for Thieves& Robbers?
A59963Would these that durst not concur themselves, contribute any encouragment to the Concurers?
A59963Yea what is he that ought not to fear to take, either in his hand or fore head, the mark of that odious Beast?
A59963Yea when it was voted in the General Assembly, whether they might take the Queens Mass from her?
A59963],[ Edinburgh?
A59963a Father to these that are unwilling to be Sons?
A59963an head over such as will not be members?
A59963and He that keepeth thy Soul doth not He know it, and shall not He render to every man according to his works?
A59963and a defender through violence?
A59963and for what end was it ordained, and continued among men, but that the stronger may not domineer over the weaker?
A59963and his father?
A59963and how can we oune that Authority, that is wholly employed& applied for the destruction of Religion?
A59963and in invading all those Priviledges of Subjects, which are Natural, Civil, Moral,& Religious?
A59963and not rather chuse to perish with Him, or in opposition to such wicked attempts?
A59963and submit to them whom we are bound to extirpate?
A59963and to Princes, ye are ungodly?
A59963and what have yow to do to make a Covenant with the Assyrian?
A59963and why should not Christians shew by their deeds, that they honour such as fear the Lord,& contemn a vile Person?
A59963and wilt thow condemn him that is most just?
A59963as the Minister of God, not to be resisted or revolted from under pain of damnation?
A59963as whether Christians were at all bound to obey Civil power, especially Pagan?
A59963by what right?
A59963can Presbyterians swear that Allegiance, which is substitute in the place of the broken& burnt Covenant?
A59963do they declare they will stone our Husband?
A59963for which of His good deeds is this done) And shall they make a Law whereby we shall be obliged to furnish them with stones to do it?
A59963have not we the Kings Letter for it?)
A59963how long shall the wicked Triumph?
A59963i. e. Whither the confiscation of goods can be sought back again from a Prince, in the name and behalf of these who are forfaulted for Religion?
A59963if Cesars Authority were from bad beginings, did therefore Christ untruly say it was from above?
A59963if so, then he was not satisfied with it: or the right as now established?
A59963if they must only stand by and be spectators of their omissions unconcerned, What shall they do to evite this wrath?
A59963is it the cause of their punishment?
A59963or a Pilot, who doth allwise study to make shipwrack of the goods, and strikes a leak in the very ship where he sails?
A59963or a Shepherd, who does not feed but devours his flock?
A59963or an act of a King of Clay rescind the Mandats of the King of Kings?
A59963or because they can not be put to death?
A59963or can not?
A59963or can they be done without meeting together in private or publick?
A59963or exempt people from obedience due thereunto?
A59963or how otherwise can we cleanse the Land of their sins?)
A59963or in any other sense, alledged more Legal?
A59963or ought he not rather to be delivered up even by the Son to Justice?
A59963or ouned for a Sacred Majestie?
A59963or shall the subjects calling in all from 60 to 16, be able to support the Throne?
A59963or silence him by his oun proper elicite acts, as King or Tyrant, or formally& immediately?
A59963or that Antichrist, or one of his Limbs, should be employed in the Churches deliverance, while such?
A59963or that He will trust them away, as a man must be fenced against thorns?
A59963or that Whores of State are not to be called to an account?
A59963or that the Declaration does assert any such thing?
A59963or there be no Phisician?
A59963or was it to see Ierusalem out at these windowes?
A59963or what hast thow to do in the way of Assyria?
A59963or whether they might suffer their Brethren to be murdered in their presence, without any declaration that such Tyrannie displeased them?
A59963shall not a man defend himself?
A59963shall therefore they Govern?
A59963shall we split twice upon the same rock?
A59963that is palpable: Is it the Law which adjudges them to punishment?
A59963the Lord God hath spoken, who can but Prophesie?
A59963the Magistrate or people?
A59963the contrary is clear, that he is the Devils drudge serving his Interest; Is resistance to Tyrants a damnable sin?
A59963what by ouning Authority?
A59963what if he command a Massacre?
A59963what is he then that bears Command, not for the peoples advantage, but studies only himself, who leadeth his subjects into manifest snares?
A59963what is that that thow hast done?
A59963what new habit or endewment is produced in him?
A59963whether it went by father- hood to all the Sons, fathers to their Posterity?
A59963who shall put them do death?
A59963why not this Custom, as well as Crowing, which they used likewise?
A59963will this Tattle of a Robber be found relevant in that day, when the publick Robbers shall be proceeded against by the just Judge?
A59963will ye rebeli against the King?
A59963would not this Claim be ridiculous for any man to say, God hath ordained Governments to be, therefore I will challenge it?
A59963wouldst not thow be angry with us, till thow hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
A59963yea how can the Fishes& Reptiles have no Ruler over them?
A59963yea run upon it, when God hath set a beacon on it?
A59963yet all perished; why?
A59963yet it doth not infringe the proposition: what if the people have not power to compell him?
A59963— The Chaldee Paraphrase hath it, Nunc ergo quid vobis contrahendo Societatem cum Pharaone rege Egyptiorum?
A59963— The Cup which my Father hath given me shall I not drink?
A59963— What Peace, so long as the whoredomes of thy Mother Iezebel, and her witchcrafts are so many?
A59963— What have yow to do Associate with Pharaoh King of Egypt?
A59963— he doth whatsoever pleaseth him where the word of a King is there is power, and who may say unto him, what doest thow?
A59963— what Concord hath Christ with Belial?
A579691, 2. every Pastor as a Pastor is to Preach against the sinnes of the Land, else how can the People mourne for these sinnes?
A5796910 32. so may they give scandall and offence; so may three, foure, of consociated Congregations give the offence, and that publickly; what?
A5796910. Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, faire as the Moone, cleare as the Sun, and terrible as an Army with Banners?
A5796910. is it therefore no office sanctified for a supernaturall end?
A5796910. that he would have hundreths of Prophets to be hearers and one at once to speak to one single Congregation?
A5796911. before the Church out of which they were taken?
A5796911. is that spirit of grace and love dead with them?
A5796912. are they not dispensators of the Sacraments, by their office, as of the Word?
A5796912. as the Elders doe, either all the people are Judges, and where are then all the governed, if all bee governours?
A5796912. what have I to doe to judge them also that are without?
A5796913. for by one spirit, we are all baptized into one body, and can you deny the covenant, which is sealed in baptisme?
A5796914, 15. or doe they meane masters of families?
A5796914. did the women speak?
A5796914. for what, or who is Paul?
A5796914. how can they preach except they he sent?
A5796914. mere beleevers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women, who could not conveniently heare?
A5796914. or to cut off by death the parents?
A5796915. and do they say amongst themselves in the presbytery Apostolick, have wee warrant from Christ to appoint a new office of Deacons?
A5796915. as Idolaters, what then?
A5796915. as one must submit his judgement to a Church?
A5796916, 17. and how were Paul and Barnabas desired, if they had any word of exhortation, to say on?
A5796916. and so many more thousands behoved to reject Christ then believed?
A5796916?
A5796918. a power of excommunication, but how?
A5796919. that is true, but what then?
A579692 credis?
A579692, 3. betrothed to Christ as a chaste Virgin?
A579692. Who were they in the Synod who made much disputing?
A579692. and by the Apostles intention, v. 6. the question is referred as well as to the Apostles?
A579692. c. 5, 6, 7. vos ergo, qua ● e sacreliga separatione pacis vin ● ulum d ● s ● ● ● ● pitis?
A579692. did send to seeke resolution at the fallible spirit of Elders, and also( as our brethren teach) at the infallible spirit of the Apostles?
A579692. hee rebuked Peter, as an Apostle?
A579692. prophecy one by one?
A5796921, 22. is therefore( I pray you) the Covenant of grace but a temporary and a prudentiall peece?
A5796921. all sweare a Church- covenant, and give a particular confession of their sinnes to the satisfaction of Iohn Baptistes conscience?
A5796921. and are such not to be excommunicated because they can not be cast out, who were never within?
A5796921. are not they singular meanes of edifying?
A5796921. as an Apostle, to ● em ● ine neere three years at Ephesus for one single congregation, and the erecting of one Congregationall presbytery?
A5796922. to bee used against an Apostate from the faith, and against such as fall into the sinne against the holy Ghost?
A5796923. how then is it a peculiar act of auhoritie in the Elders?
A5796924. and convincing of unbelievers?
A5796925. to the Church of Antioch?
A5796925?
A579693. if you admit communion of Churches in some things, to wit, in the Lords Supper, how can you deny communion of Churches in other holy things of God?
A579694. upon sister Churches?
A5796942. stedfastly in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and prayer; but where did they meet?
A5796942?
A579695, 6, 7, 8, and concequently, whether or not Christ hath ordained, not the Pastors, but some officers besides, to attend this worke?
A579695, 6. if Deacons were not, according to their primitive institution and Office, ordained to be Preachers of the word, by whose paines the word grew?
A579695. and not a Covenant with one visible congregation, and what warrant hath the Church to dispense with the breach of such an everlasting Covenant?
A579698 for hearing the Word, and for exercise of Discipline, if not the Church meeting in a Congregation?
A579698. so as famous writers say the halfe of the City beleeved, if they be but one single congregation meeting all in one place?
A57969Againe say I, what if the Church differ?
A57969All then who have gifts to be Kings and Magistrates are sent of God to the throne and bench?
A57969An ad me pertinet?
A57969And I heard the voyce of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who shall goe for me?
A57969And I pray you what roome or place was there for such a multitude of Prophets to edifie the Churches in one private House?
A57969And b Ainsworth sayth, with what comfort of heart can the people now excommunicate him, if they have not heard the proceedings against him?
A57969And by what argumunts do they prove it?
A57969And d Paraeus, num impune ibunt eorum scelera?
A57969And how was it increased when Barnabas and Paul after that taught the Word to much people a whole yeare?
A57969And how weake is this?
A57969And if we lay upon the people the worke and all the acts of the office, how can we not lay upon them the office it selfe?
A57969And is it like that the Apostles were civill curators to widowes before this time?
A57969And sayd by what authority doest thou these?
A57969And that blasphemy and sinne is against Gods purpose and intended end, and that sinne crosseth him?
A57969And what is that, if they lay aside corrupt judgement?
A57969And why?
A57969Are all Apostles?
A57969Are all Apostles?
A57969Are all Prophets?
A57969Are all these redeemed by the Blood of God?
A57969Baptisme should be administrate by such as are not ministers at all; for who should baptize them who are converted without the Church?
A57969Because if Christ biddeth accompt the excommunicated person as an Heathen and a publican, would Paul thereafter accompt him as a brother?
A57969But 1. where doth the holy Ghost speake so in the Scripture?
A57969But 2. what though God promise to put his feare in the heart of the regenerate?
A57969But I heartily crave to learn, what perfection doewe arive unto?
A57969But I would gladly learne how you contra- distinguish these two, Faith, and a holy profession of Faith?
A57969But doe you not teach us by your answer to elude these pregnant places, which unanswerably prove the necessity of the perseverance of the regenerated?
A57969But had Pope John as collaterall Judge with the Emperour in this, that same coactive power that the Emperour had?
A57969But how can they say Amen,( saith he) to a holy action done 〈 ◊ 〉 Gods enemies?
A57969But how can wee imagine that many thousands could in one meeting communicate at one Table in the Lords Supper, and that ordinarily?
A57969But how doe our brethren inferre a fixed Congregation at Ephesus from thence?
A57969But how is it proved that Ruling Elders are of divine institution?
A57969But if all prophesie,& c?
A57969But if hee justly plead and his mother will not heare, may hee not separate?
A57969But it was asked, whether are the classicall Elders ruling Elders, or Teaching Elders to the classicall Church?
A57969But our brethren proveth they will law aside corrupt judgement; but how?
A57969But shall we name and repute them brethren, whom in conscience we know to be as ignorant and void of grace, as any Pagan?
A57969But though it were granted, t ● ● t the Jewish Church used not excommunication had they no Ecclesiasticall censures before for that?
A57969But were there no Elders and Officers in the Apostolike Church, but onely Apostles?
A57969But what ground for so needlesse a conjecture, that the Apostolick Church did celebrate the Lords Supper in the Temple, never in private houses?
A57969But what is this to separate from the true Church, professing Christ?
A57969But what is this, but regenerate persons shall persevere, upon condition that they shall persevere?
A57969But what then?
A57969By what authoritie shall the Prince doe this?
A57969By what warrant of the word are private Christians, not in office, made the ordinary and onely converters of Soules to Christ?
A57969Can any forbid water that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
A57969Christ never ordained that a church should excommunicate her selfe; not the people; Who gave them power?
A57969Crave the concurrence of the conveened multitude, and their free voices shall wee appoint this new office, men and brethren, or shall wee for beare?
A57969David by his afflictions learned to keep Gods Commandements: did therfore the persecuters of Manasseh or David right and lawfully?
A57969David said, What have I to doe with you, ye sonnes of Zerviah?
A57969Doe not Infidels and Indians, as you teach c come to your Assemblies to heare the VVord, and partake of the prayers and praises of the Church?
A57969Doe you imagin that there can be a holy profession knitting a man to the visible Church, where there be neither the seed of Faith, nor Faith it selfe?
A57969Else how could they have all their goods common, if there be not one visible government amongst them?
A57969Ergo they should separate from the worship of God; What sewing is here?
A57969Ergo they were before daily constant Deacons, and why not Elders also?
A57969Ergo, Pastorall preaching is not an ordinary meane of conversion?
A57969Ergo, how shall they publikely and synodically teach, except they be sent?
A57969Ergo, would you say no reconciliation in a land without apostolick Ambassadors?
A57969For doe not both the King as King, and the Church as the Church, command and forbid one and the same thing?
A57969For were all the carnall in Corinth betrothed as one chaste Virgin to Christ?
A57969For, First, to you they are without, how then can you judge them?
A57969From whence had Luther, Calvin, and our blessed Reformers their calling to the pastorall charge?
A57969Gathered together and meet but one day?
A57969God hardeneth Pharaos heart, should Pharao harden for that his owne heart?
A57969God hath placed in the body of a single Congregation Apostles?
A57969God hath placed some in the Church, first Apostles, secondarily Prophets, thirdly Teachers,& c. Is the meaning thus?
A57969Had they not use of excommunication?
A57969Hath the Wisdome of Christ left these Thrones in such a confusion, as by Scripture they can not be knowen, by Name, Title, Nature, Operations?
A57969Have not I chosen you twelve?
A57969Have we a warrant from Gods word, for such a new inchurching?
A57969He is convinced of all, he is judged of all?
A57969How can it be an offence to be Members of no independent Churches in England, whereas no such may be had there?
A57969How did they returne, as non- residents to remaine with Christ till his death?
A57969How it is possible a Church shall be gathered amongst Infidells?
A57969How prove yee, they abstained from the Passeover?
A57969How shall they preach except they be sent?
A57969How shall they preach, except they be sent?
A57969How then can the one be given to the King by vertue of that same mixt power?
A57969How then shall hee take the burden of thirty, or forty Flockes?
A57969How weake is your reasoning?
A57969I answer, Unlawfull meanes, as the persecution of Tyrants, may have this successe, what then?
A57969I aske at our brethren, by what authoritie of the Scripture is pastorall binding and loosing an authoritative act of the preaching Elder onely?
A57969I beseech you, Brethren, why doe we contend?
A57969Idolaters and Hereticks are to be excommunicated, and will you have such a brotherhood, as brother idolater?
A57969If Christ be a Head of pure Gold, and the Churches golden candlestick, how shall we be allowed to put in leaden members?
A57969If Presbyteriall Elders be Elders to mary Congregations in a generall Relation, what sort of Elders are they?
A57969If by Gods Law of the Nazarites, they abstained from wine, and the Passeover?
A57969If it bee essentially different from an advise and councell and warranted by divine institution, why doe not our brethen give us Scripture for it?
A57969If there bee called Pastors in England to lay on hands on Ministers, why are not they to impose hands on such as you judge to bee no ministers?
A57969If this was extraordinary that Matthias was chosen, why then is the vow and consent of the Church sought?
A57969In Prophecying; but how?
A57969Iohn 9. and Iohn 22. had no tolerable measure of learning to be priests, how then could they be universall prophets who could not erre?
A57969Is a beleever a member of Christs body in one Congregation and not in all Congregations?
A57969Is it a fault to be members of a Nationall Church?
A57969Is it not( saith he) sweeter to converse with the Godly, then with the ungodly?
A57969Is not this a transgression of the Royall Law of governement?
A57969Is there no meanes to edifie, exhort, and comfort, but prophecying?
A57969Is there not a wise- man amongst you?
A57969Is there not need then of a generall Councell?
A57969It is impossible; so Acts 6. did all the twelve Apostles speak at once?
A57969It is said, godly Preachers must bee sent to them, 〈 ◊ 〉 th ● y 〈 ◊ 〉 reformed; but why not godly Pastors?
A57969It is said, v. 12, doe yee not judge them that are within?
A57969It pleased t ● Apostles, Elders, and the whole Church to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch,& c. What Church was this?
A57969It was objected a How can it be lawfull for meere lay and private men to ordaine Elders?
A57969Let wise men Iudge, if this be not spirituall tyranny, that Elders would bring upon the conscience of men?
A57969Locall separation from Idoll- worship, in the Idoll- Temple, we teach as well as Robinson, but what then?
A57969Many women were witnesses and Martyrs, and gave a testimony against Antichrist; Ergo women may preach in the Church: what vanitie is this?
A57969May our brethren without Christs warrant shape any punishment equivalent to excommunication without Gods Word?
A57969Ministering, and how?
A57969No dogs?
A57969No evill workers?
A57969None in Philippi whose God was their belly?
A57969None who walked after the flesh?
A57969Now when the multitude Acts 1. presented Joseph and Matthias, it behoved them to speak; spake they joyntly, or all at once?
A57969O but, saith hee r the author of the Survey, how shall the Prince helpe the matter?
A57969O ca ● es& c. Si Deus bonus& praescius futuri& potens, cur hominem possus est lahi?
A57969O whither are all the tomes of the Councels Oecumenick, nationall, and provinciall, evanished unto?
A57969Or came it to you onely, as to the only Apostolick teachers, that you neede no admonition?
A57969Other two questions here are shortly to be discussed, as belonging to this purpose; as 1. whether discipline be a marke of the visible Church?
A57969Ought not the Lords Stewards to be faithfull in Gods House?
A57969Pastors of the separation give the body of Christ to lurking Hypocrites, are they not herein presumptuous also?
A57969Paul continued here for the space of two yeares,( and was this for one competent number, who did all meet in one private house?
A57969Pergamus?
A57969Peter said, How oft shall my brother offend me, and I forgive him?
A57969Princes are obliged to remove high places; But are they obliged with their owne Hands to breake all the Images?
A57969Prophecying continueth, who taketh it out of the world?
A57969Question goeth thus in its genuine sense; are we not then to separate from them, as from false Churches?
A57969Reprove him, that is, convince him, but is it not reproving to be brought before the Church?
A57969Secondly, what though they intended Assemblies by consent, and tacite covenant?

A3999915?
A3999920 And from John, for the divine warrand of this common Government of Presbyters?
A399995, And from John, could he suppose that this was but the beginning, while the Apostles had the power still in their own hand?
A39999Again, how proves he that no assemblies are orderly except the Prelatical?
A39999Although in that Epistle there is no express advice to remove Episcopacy, what then?
A39999And are not Bishops, Arch- Bishops, Deans& c: contrary to Presbyterian government, then in being?
A39999And did he call the[ substantialls of Government] but a Dream, thinks this man?
A39999And doth this man think that Conformists have this orderly call according to the Reformation and doctrine of this Church?
A39999And how is that proved?
A39999And how sin they against Christ?
A39999And if this divine tye stand, what will he say?
A39999And if this will not plead for hearing Non- conformists, why shall this argument be thought valide for hearing Curats?
A39999And is there not the same reason that the Christian Church should be thus kept from that evil by a supream Highpriest or bishop?
A39999And such is this Prelatical divyding of the Pastoral charge in relation to order and jurisdiction, or the keys of Doctrine& Government?
A39999And that Ministers were essentially& necessarly ex natura officii( as these priests) constituent members of civil Judicatories?
A39999And the true state of this Question is not, whither it be a greater good, to obey the Magistrat or keep ane oath?
A39999And to our prelatists ordinary question[ When began the Change of preshyterian parity among Ministes]?
A39999And to prove this, He brings ane instance of priests under the old Testament- dispensation, their being constituent members of a civil court?
A39999And upon the affirmative solution of this case, what might be the nature, extent and circumstances of such a protestation?
A39999And was this the change which Ierom speaks of, as toto orbe decretum,& postea, or a change afterward through the World?
A39999And what better pattern for modelling the New Testament- Church in point of her government, then this pattern?
A39999Are Finally decided by the Magistrats Law without the least owning the Church representative?
A39999Are not our Prelats restored to all their pretended priviledges, taken from them by the Parliament who Imposed this oath?
A39999Are not the ordinances and Ministery receaved from them, of perpetuall use?
A39999Are our Prelats no more?
A39999Are we not built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets?
A39999As Curats are now in all these respects subject to their Prelats?
A39999As for that which he tells us Calvin adds,[ that one was in authority over the rest at that time,] ergo, what?
A39999Beside, will he allow people upon their praying for Presbyterian Ministers to hear them?
A39999Besides, may not Patriarches, and all the rabble of the popes locusts have this pretended for them, that they are included in some of these officers?
A39999Besides, were not the Churches increased a ● … this time?
A39999Besides, what can he inferre from Calvin''s assertion of the precedency of one at that tyme?
A39999Besides, what power had these two men to transact a peace without Joshuas advice and knowledge?
A39999But are they therefore to be imitated and retained?
A39999But can humility,& a forbidden imparity consist?
A39999But did this Null the Episcopall power of Timothy and Titus, over these Churches?
A39999But do they justifie the Popes[ Ipse dixit] in proving this, or in this method of arguing?
A39999But he sayes, that answer of the Apostles will no way quadrat with our case, why so?
A39999But here, the Magistrat qua talis, is a suprem Church Ruler?
A39999But his 2d answer to the premised objection of his Doubter is ushered in with a therefor ● … — what next?
A39999But how cross is this to Scripture, that any Church officer hath a power and authoriritie which he can not exercise?
A39999But how doth he or they prove this after- institution of the diocesian Bishop?
A39999But how long will this man involve himself in contradictions, and these Fathers also?
A39999But how proves he that Prelacie was sworne unto in that Oath?
A39999But how proves he that the Apostle was to setle after ward such a prelat there?
A39999But how proves he this, that at the imposing of the Covenant, he owned episcopacy?
A39999But how proves our Informer that there was no such government in Scotland at that time?
A39999But how will he now absolve us?
A39999But how?
A39999But let him say, what was the order and union of this Church before these innovations?
A39999But next, what wil our Informer gain though it were yeelded that this Angel is ane individual or single person?
A39999But nixt, If He account our prelats State- actings unlawfull?
A39999But now what is his last shift?
A39999But shall the son be prelimit in his judgment anent all these, or act contrary to it?
A39999But shall the sons judgement who is other wayes minded, be prelimited by the father, or els must he act contrary to his judgement?
A39999But this would have made him too stiffe a Doubter for this Resolver or Informer: but had he nothing in the Surveyer to resolve this?
A39999But tho it were granted that such might be heard, who are but a few, how will this plead for all the rest, and loose his Doubters argument as to them?
A39999But what is meant by[ discipline] in that Covenant?
A39999But what memory shall the posterity have of this work if prelats and curats be thus submitted unto?
A39999But what then?
A39999But what were these directions importing this power?
A39999But what will he say to this argument which he makes his Doubter here mutter out?
A39999But what will this arguing reprove?
A39999But what will this man say?
A39999But where will he shew us this restriction, or difference in Scripture?
A39999But who denyes this, and what doth this arguing reprove?
A39999But why exhorted he not his Doubter to hold fast what is good, as well as to try all things?
A39999But why will this latetudinarian Informer cast the mist of a hesitating[ if] upon a clear and plaine truth?
A39999But you will say, what if the weake be scandalized by his own fault?
A39999Can any restriction and exception be more peremptory?
A39999Can the Magistrat by his Law embolden a mans conscience to sin, and yet neither the Magistrat sin himself, nor the man sin in obeying him?
A39999Can there be greater corruptions in government then a papacy of the highest degree, as is their premacy and hierarchy?
A39999Can there not be a Tyrannical domineering over the Clergy also?
A39999Could they be altogether ignorant of his minde who thus suddenly departed from him?
A39999Cur i d quaeso?
A39999Dare he say that every disobedience to the command of Rulers, impeaches their authority?
A39999Darre this man deny that our present prelates have this legall prerogative expresly allowed them by our lawes?
A39999Did all sin against light, and adventure presumptuously to change the divine ordinances?
A39999Did not Paul and Barnabas divid& part asunder?
A39999Did not the Apostles foresee this?
A39999Do not two remarkable clauses contradict this gloss?
A39999Do we abjure any Civil courts or officers in that article?
A39999Doth a souldier or Officers commission or Military power slow still from a Colonel after he is disbanded?
A39999Either this Informer must account the prelats present State actings lawful, or not?
A39999Et quomodo in Christum peccant?
A39999Ex his verbis quaero num cuiquam sano videri possit D. Iesum sustulisse aut prohibuisse primatum aut principatum?
A39999For I ask why he lea ● … es out here Ieroms scripture proofes, evincing that Bishops& Presbyters are one jure divino?
A39999For doe not our prelats of most free choice and deliberatly assume State Imployments?
A39999Had not Paul, Barnabas,& Titus ane extraordinary authority& commission?
A39999Had not the seventy their mission, their institution, immediatly from Christ as well as the Apostles themselves?
A39999Had not these departers afterward known or seen his eminent seers, heard his word and seen his works?
A39999Had the Apostles such a superioritie over the seventy Disciples?
A39999Had the seventy onely a derived precarius Ministry under the twelve Apostles, as their Vicars& Substitutes in their Ministration?
A39999Hath not Christ a mystical body in Scotland without prelats?
A39999Have not our Prelats this preeminence above Presbyters, as a distinct order from them?
A39999Have not these their Deans, Archdeacons, Chanters& c?
A39999Have we not the solemn vows, subscriptions and Oaths of both King and Rulers, concurring with the vows of the subjects in this case?
A39999He hath these words, quid homine inhumanius existimari potest, qui ● … grotum verberat?
A39999He holds there are Seven Bishops of Asia here only written unto, where are the Tuentie four Bishops, if Mr Mede take them in his sense?
A39999He must either undertake this debate, or acknowledge them unlawfull pro tanto at least?
A39999Heard not all the Churche of Israel Gods voice from mount Sinai?
A39999His comments upon this phrase are verie vain[ first he shall bear her sin( saith he) if a guilt] what is that?
A39999How can Ambrose then assert, that they have the same office and ordination?
A39999How can these cruell men, say they, looke up to the God of love?
A39999How could they then adventure to make such a change?
A39999How is this made good?
A39999How long is it since Scotland not onely knew and imbraced Presbyterian Government; but also solemnlie vowed to mantaine it?
A39999How maintain we the priviledges of our Church and her Reformed Government?
A39999How often doe we find suddener changes in scripture of the divine Institutions?
A39999How palpably have they wrested the holy Scriptures to shift the convictions thereof, and make some shift of answer?
A39999How proves he, that the relative[ they] in our translation is referred to Paul and Barnabas only, rather then the Churches?
A39999How quickly after Hezekias death did they turne aside?
A39999How quickly after Ioshua and the elders did all Israell depart from Gods way and ordinances?
A39999How quickly after Josiahs death?
A39999How quickly after Solomons death did Rehoboam forsake the law of God and all Israell with him?
A39999How quickly did they relapse after deliverances, both in the times of the Kings and of the judges, yea and after solemne vowes of Reformation?
A39999How will he prove that the inferiour Priests were not Types of Christ as well as the Highpriest?
A39999How will hee( I say) distinguish this from ane Apostolick practice and a practice to be continued?
A39999How will our Informer extricat himself as to the Jewish High priest in maintaining this Answer to his doubter?
A39999How will this man guard against this, which he imputed to us before?
A39999I answer, Suppose Calvin think so what will that say to the argument it self?
A39999I pray, what saved her friends and her relations as well as her self from this common destruction?
A39999I we engadgeto extirpate all Ecclesiastick officers depending on that Hierarchie, what?
A39999I would ask our Informer, was Pauls apostolick commission to Crete and Ephesus, voyded, after Bishops were set up there?
A39999I ▪ it possible, is it probable that Gods Israell could be ignorant of his minde, and adventure so quickly to change his ordinances?
A39999If any say what is all to the speciall obligation for Presbyterian Government, and in opposition to Prelacie ● …?
A39999If he say, what is then become of our presbyterial ordination, which we draw from this text?
A39999If it be said, that the Episcopal office succeeds that of the Apostles or Evangelists?
A39999If it was unlawfull, or a deliberat sinfull intanglement, why obtruds he it upon us as a regular precedent?
A39999If this was conscientious dealing let any Judge?
A39999In what cases it might be abstracted from a formall ow ● … ing of Curats as Ministers of this Church?
A39999Is it the power of ordination?
A39999Is it the ruling Governeing power?
A39999Is it the work of this Angel to preach and baptize?
A39999Is not our Government now by two Arch- Bishops and twelve Bishops?
A39999Is there any officer of State, any subordinat Magistrat allowed in a kingdome, which hath not the clear warrand of the lawes?
A39999King James did not abjure episcopacy in the Nationall Covenant, why so?
A39999Knowes not this man, that the evill one sowes his tares while men sleep?
A39999Likewise he sayes that on these termes he transacted to spare Rahabs friends, but where was this assurance as to her friends?
A39999May not all Ministers be herin directed, as well as Timothy and Titus?
A39999May not the Oath of alledgance be pleaded against treason, because before this Oath treason is a sin?
A39999Might not Paul and the Inferiour presbyters ordaine such ane one?
A39999Must we bring in, or comply with every corruption once purged out, the retaining wherof may be consistent with the essence of a true Church?
A39999Must we therefore Judaize?
A39999Nay redintegrat to a more absolute possession of pretended Spirituall authority then ever any befor them possessed since our reformation?
A39999Nay, did not the new- Testament Church receave the Law of God, and ordinances from the Jewes?
A39999Next I would ask this Informer, whither thinks he that particular forms of Government are alterable, yea or not?
A39999Nixt, I would know whither our Informer holds these Bishops medling in Secular affairs, to be lawfull or unlawfull?
A39999No?
A39999Now I beseech him per omnes musas, will he say that Apostles and Presbyters differ only ordine and not gradu, in order, not in degree?
A39999Now I beseech him, did the Apostles first practise a divine f ● … ame of Government, and then changed it into a human custome?
A39999Now have not our King and Rulers consented unto, and ratefied all our vows both in the nationall, and solemn league and Covenant?
A39999Now have not our prelats power to ordaine alone?
A39999Now how impertinent this is to the pointe and Queston let any judge?
A39999Now let this Informer shew me a reasone of this distinctnes, If not to point out all the substantialls of government?
A39999Now the Question betwixt the two competitors is, which of them hath the prior lawfull, and standing tye?
A39999Now their preaching is for the most part consisting of corrupt doctrine contrary to our Reformation?
A39999Now this preter- scripturall or new order of government, what is it but that anent the primus or first among the Presbyters?
A39999Now what greater length would he have Ambrose assertion come then this?
A39999Now what superfluous wast of time were it to insist in scanning of testimonyes adduced to prove that which is not the question?
A39999Now what will he say to his own Question here?
A39999Now who broke this?
A39999Now, I beseech him, who is the proper judge, what frame of Church government best sutes her condition?
A39999Now, how doe these quadrat?
A39999Now, is not that which was thus necessary, of perpetual use?
A39999Now, what is the difference here, except, that this party makes the greater number; but will this take away the charge of schism?
A39999Now, what pinched all these Authors to embrace this Silleptick exposition of the Angel?
A39999Now, where is this exception, as to these leagues?
A39999Or are their shoulders burdened against their will with these State honoures?
A39999Or could[ all inequality in respect of power] be unlawful among them, and yet not be discharged when our Lord discharged[ a primacy of power?]
A39999Or doe they not clearly assert the identity of Bishop& Presbyter?
A39999Or how can that enervate our engadgement to preserve the reformation as then establisht in Doctrine, Worship, Discipline, and Government?
A39999Or how proves he that its the government of our Church which they have introduced?
A39999Or were they not rather to help forward the great harvest, and the work of the Ministery, together with the Apostles themselves?
A39999Or will he say that every man hath the formal office, or place, in the nature whereof he is instructed?
A39999Or will his acknowledgment of the factum, prove his acknowledment of the jus?
A39999Policy delineated therin; how will he prove that the Covenant- obligation in the Intention of the imposers, reaches the on and not the other?
A39999Qui vero?
A39999Quid igitur non corrigis fratrem, ne putet aliquid immundum esse?
A39999Right, why then may not we plead that which makes it stronger?
A39999Said he not already that the Baptismall vow is a superadded obligation, though the matter it self doth binde?
A39999Say it were a question anent ths Acoluthi or Exorcists& c. Whither they are a part of the Popes Hierarchie?
A39999Sayes he not that it is only a fixed presidency of order which they are for?
A39999Sed inquies quod si suopte vitio scandalizatur infirmus?
A39999Should they appropriat the term Pastor, or Minister, to a diocesian Prelat onlie?
A39999Si non salvare fratrem( saith he) culpam habet, i d quod& Evangelici talenti de ● … ossor indicat: Quid non faciet datum etiam scandalum?
A39999Speaks not the Covenant of an existent frame of Government embraced by this Church?
A39999Suppose the practice were lawfull in it self, what will cure this malady?
A39999Sure their knowlege and consent must interveen, in order to their acceptance of, and subjecton to their Shepherd?
A39999Tells he us not likewise here that Augustin makes James the first Bishop of Ierusalem, and Peter, the first Bishop of Rome?
A39999Tells he us not, that they transmitted ane Episcopall power in that traine of Successors, proved by Catalogues of Bishops?
A39999That is, for to say, what am I concerned if such a man be scandalized, and such a man perish?
A39999That the Bishops are more by Custom, then by any true dispensation from the Lord set over Presbyters?
A39999That this is assumed by this Erastian mould of government, is evident?
A39999The Ancient Bishops placed[ preaching] among the chief partes of their office, and were not idle drones as ours are?
A39999The eater must not despise him that eats not: why then do Conformists pursue Nonconformists, with such grievous punishment and Lawes?
A39999This I willingly grant to him, but what then?
A39999This he sayes is already shewed, but where?
A39999This is nothing but a renewed repetition of groundless assertions: for how proves he that our plea is a matter of government only?
A39999This man Justifies the Pope''s plea, where is your Ministry( saith he and the Romanists) you have no Ministry but what you have from us?
A39999Timothy and Titus& c. had ane Episcopal authority, why?
A39999To go up to Jesusalem solemly and joynly three tymes in the year?
A39999To have one common Temple, one Altar,& c. And must therefore the Christian Church observe the same ordinances and institutions?
A39999To what end must the Corinth Church Officers Meet together, and authoritatively and joyntlie punish or censur the incestuous man?
A39999True, but how doth the keeping of the Covenant hurt peoples soules, or these in authority?
A39999Upon supposition that it is abjured in both the one and the other, whither the obligation of these Oaths stands against it, yea or not?
A39999Very true, but what then?
A39999Was ever there Erastian Government heard of in the Christian World till Thomas Erastus of Heidleberge brotched it?
A39999Was it not a preeminence, or masterly primacy, and to be a protos?
A39999Was it only to signifie their consent?
A39999Was it the Ceremonial part to lay on hands?
A39999Was not his office a special mean of order and unitie in that Church, and to prevent schisme ▪ s and divisions?
A39999Was not that near the march of calling it unlawfull?
A39999Was not this Church priviledged with a beautifull order of Government, pure Gospel- Worship, and sound doctrine, before Prelacy was introduced?
A39999Was their a lawfull primacy supposed among the Apostles,& the ambitious desire only forbidden?
A39999Was there nor discord among the disciples, under Christs own immediat Government?
A39999Well what is this?
A39999Well, what further answers he?
A39999Well, what is it that our Informer will admitt to be here discharged?
A39999Well, what then hath he to quarrell at in this argument, for the peoples right in the call of Ministers from this text?
A39999Were all ignorant?
A39999Were not the Jewes for this great end of order and union to keep their solemne Feasts?
A39999Were not these priests to act deliberatly and of Choice?
A39999Were the twelve to rule only, and to committ the preaching worke to the seventy as their deputes, as our Prelats now doe?
A39999Were there no able men to be Bishop after the popish Bishop was gone?
A39999Were they embracing a Proteus?
A39999Were they subject to the Apostles as their Rectors and judges?
A39999What a pitiful cause must that be which needs the support of such vaine shifts?
A39999What a poor querist is this?
A39999What a selfcontradicting tenet is this for any rationall man to intertaine?
A39999What are these?
A39999What better way for this, then Gods owne way?
A39999What can be more i nhumane then that man, Who beats one that is sick?
A39999What champions are these that prove it to be contrary to Scripture, and yet dar not assert it to be unlawfull?
A39999What consequence is here?
A39999What consequence is this?
A39999What if convincingly expedient in its circumstances?
A39999What if some of these first successours, be found but meer Constant moderators?
A39999What if such directions were adressed to a Moderator?
A39999What is it then that founds this relation?
A39999What is then become of his Series of a Succession of Diocesian Bishops from Timothy; and Titus, and the Asian Angels?
A39999What means he by the first introduction of Bishops?
A39999What means the heat of this great anger, and where will it issue?
A39999What more hath he to say?
A39999What more?
A39999What needed the people murmur, and desire to cut them off, after the contrary of what they pretended was discovered, notwithstaning hereof?
A39999What needed then his peremptory Interrogations( after their declared submission) anent their stock and lineage, and the place of their abode?
A39999What next, what if it be sinfull?
A39999What poor tatle is this?
A39999What sayes he to Augustin ● … words?
A39999What shaddow of proof can be produced that therewere any other Officers there at this time then the Bishops or Ministers of this Church?
A39999What then?
A39999What will he make of Bishop Iewel telling Harding, in his defence against him?
A39999What will he make of all Ierome Scripture proofes through the Apostles times, and writings, anent this compleat parity of Bishops and Presbyters?
A39999What will he say in this case?
A39999What will he say to these questions in relation thereunto?
A39999What will this Oedipus answer to Croftons assertion?
A39999What, upon just grounds contrary to Gods command?
A39999What?

A39999Wher is the Presbiteries forensicall Act in ordination of Timothie?
A39999Where Paul was taking his last farewell of the Churches?
A39999Where can he shew in all the scriptures, where laying on of hands is mentioned, that it Imports onely consent, and not authoritie?

A39999Where is then the Schism?
A39999Where will the Informer shew us our erastian prelacy in all his antiquity?
A39999Which the topick of his argument here will necessarly inferr?
A39999Whither means he the[ essential necessary Policy,] according to that phrase of the book, or a necessary Policy exprest and asserted in that book?
A39999Whither peace with God be a greater good in keeping his Covenant, then peace with men and with the world in breaking it?
A39999Whither such great and solemn Oaths may be laid aside in order to the obtaining of it?
A39999Whither the Prelacie now established by Law in this Church, be abjured in the national, and solemne league and Covenant?
A39999Who so?
A39999Who will doubt but the constant fixed Proestos is in so farr set over the rest?
A39999Who would not call this ane Anti- scriptural usurpation of the Presbyters due?
A39999Why did not Paul make use of his Negative voice and command them all silence in this debate?
A39999Why doth He alleadge something from Scripture precedents to prove it warrantable?
A39999Why doth He not interminis acknowledge so much, and not lisp it half out?
A39999Why gave God prophets and teachers unto his Church if not for this end?
A39999Why lived they so long without a beloved hierarchy?
A39999Why might he not then have taken in the High- priest upon this ground, since these are as well distinguishable in him, as in the inferiour Priests?
A39999Why so, I pray?
A39999Why so?
A39999Why so?
A39999Why so?
A39999Why so?
A39999Why then are they so uncharitable as to grieve Nonconformists with prelatick exactions?
A39999Why then do they so violently press consciencious Doubters to their way?
A39999Will he say that it is lawful to bring into the christian Church every point of the jewish policy?
A39999Will not reach and include every peece of the Apostolik and evangelistik office?
A39999Will the Informer say( which is his own argument afterward) that the Apostles immediat episcopall Government, had influenc upon this Schism?
A39999Will thi ● … Law, yea and after the Oath is taken, overrule th ● … divine Law determining the same?
A39999Yet this doth not satisfie Joshua, but again he particularly interrogats them upon these two points, who are ye?
A39999[ What is that Species of Church Government, allowed and commanded in Scriptnre]?
A39999],[ Edinburgh?
A39999and had they not leasure sufficient to doe this after the doctrine was reformed?
A39999and have they not a juridicall authority over them, by our law and practise, and his pleading too?
A39999and have they not de facto frequently done so?
A39999and if it be lawfull to add any new officers, or administrations, or ordinances, to these expressly warranted?
A39999and is this all that Arch- Bishops and Diocesian Bishops do possess?
A39999and next, from whence come ye?
A39999and though mans corruption abuse parity to discord, what then?
A39999and whither Church officers, or the Civil Magistrat, be the proper Subject therof?
A39999and will it not be a Critical distinction to distinguish lordship from preeminence?
A39999and( which is yet more strange) why Imployed they their pens and their paines so much for Presbyterian government, and not rather for the hierarchy?
A39999and[ whither there be any inherent Church Government, allowed her, distinct from that of the Civil Magistrat?]
A39999are they labouring and admonishing as to sin and duty, who are ringleaders in a course of defection?
A39999are they no more in Church judicatores, but Moderators and Chairemen, set up Ordinis causa to order the actions of the meeting?
A39999are they not consequently schismaticks?
A39999are they not his?
A39999are they watching for souls as they that must give account?
A39999article, or that the Presbyterians in England would not disowne them as inconsistent with the Covenant?
A39999article?
A39999because it was not to die with them, why that?
A39999betwixt Bishop and Presbyter?
A39999but did that reflect upon his Holy Government that this recorded?
A39999can he not distinguish betwixt the power it self, and the different subject, and manner of its exercise, ordinary or extraordinary?
A39999can he not see in Scripture ane extraordinary power derived, and cut out in a succession of different and ordinary channels, and diverslie exercised?
A39999can humility in a Churchman,&[ Dominium civile and despoticum] consist?
A39999can the Rulers meer prohibition loose either ministers their relation pastoral, or the obligations flowing therefrom?
A39999can there be greater corruptions in practice, then perjury and such grosse prophanity as Conformists are blotted with for the most part?
A39999containe an abjuration of many sins, against which the people stood before preoblidged?
A39999counter- balances the less, but I Pray, shall the meer will and Command of the power, determine the greater dutie?
A39999did all our Reformers Ministerial acts flow from the pope or papal ordination as such?
A39999did he not owne the assemblies power, and the power of Synods?
A39999did they not visite and water many other Churches, were they therefore their Bishops?
A39999do their lips keep knowledge, who have departed out of the way, and caused many stumble at the Law?
A39999doth not Mr Crofton in terminis assert, that the Covenant obligation can never be satisfied untill such be removed?
A39999he saith, dicere enim quid mihi curandum est, si ille scandalizatur,& ille perit?
A39999how can a particular form be more formaly and explicitly described then thus?
A39999how come their successors then to coalesce into one, after such a manner as to differ only in a ferme nihil, or almost nothing?
A39999how could they know that their exposition was according to the mind of the first imposers?
A39999how did this own episcopacy?
A39999if not, how comes he to distinguish them in this, from the essentiall necessary Policy which he cals unalterable?
A39999is it only all in bulk, and not all and every one?
A39999is not all Church government to be managed by them with advice only of such of the Clergie, as their Lordships( forsooth) shall judge loyall?
A39999is not the Church representative, to whom is intrusted the power of the keys?
A39999is not the same way from Athens to Thebes, and from Thebes to Athens?
A39999learned he not this prohibition of his Lord?
A39999may we not plead the Covenant obligation against Schisme, heresie, and profanness?
A39999must we therefore retean anointing?
A39999or that these fathers doe hold this opinion?
A39999or that they are the Church?
A39999or that we are in this practice separating from our Church?
A39999or will his giving directions to them in this poynt infer their sole and singular authority therein?
A39999rule mentioned, where is the Relaxation of all parties engadged in Covenant one with another, as well as with God?
A39999supppose we should Plead union, against his withdrawing Presbyterian professours from Presbyterian Ministers, will he owne this pleading?
A39999the studia in religione, or factions in Religion?
A39999they not only despise but persecute to the death, and vilely reproach them; who art thou that judgest another mans servant?
A39999thinks he that such a great question as this: What is this greater good in point of Church Government?
A39999to a policy indeed unalterable;( to use his time phrase)?
A39999to which of the two parties on this supposition people are to adhere in worship?

A39999were not the Churches of both nations nay in all the three Kingdoms, engadged to one another in this Oath?
A39999what consequence or reason is here?
A39999what hath the chaff to do with the wheat?
A39999what if the matter be necessarie, or falling under divine Prescriptions or institutions?
A39999what may be said for, or against Conformists Ministerial mission?
A39999where was the negative voice here?
A39999who are loving to sleep and slumber; and dare not say most of them, that ever they enquird at any soul how it is betwixt God and them?
A39999why persuades he people to forsake these Assemblies?
A39999why quarrells he with the Almighty( to use his own expression) in undervaluing their gifts, and would teare their commission?
A39999why so, what is that opinion?
A39999why then were no ● … Bishops set up, since this man holds the increase of Churches to have grounded such a necessity of Prelacy?
A39999why were both Calvin and Beza so active in that which Iohn Knox did here in opposition to prelacy?
A39999will any of common sense or discretion, say so?
A39999will this infer a necessity of the people''s owning them, and deserting conformists?
A39999would he not say that their first practise, or writings for truth, will stand good and witnesse against them in their defection?
A39999would he not think the Popes acknowledgment and owning them for such, to be a sufficient argument to prove this?
A39999would that infer his Authoritie over the Synod?
A39999would they not have been judged censurable as the worst of Schismaticks?
A01760& c. Wherefore is there not a certain day of the moneth kept for Easter, as well as for the Nativity?
A01760* Is it not holden individuum non posse definiri, nisi definitione speciei?

A017601. Who doubts of this that liberty of practise may be restrained in the use of things which are in themselves indifferent?
A017601. be it so: thought he that they are all malitious, and none weake, who are offended by the Ceremonies?
A0176011?
A0176012 the Sacramentall Elements as active objects of Worship onely, can not make kneeling before them in the receiving, to be no Idolatry?

A01760And I pray, must not the Rites of the Church be managed with decency and order?
A01760And I pray, were not all meats lawfull for the Gentiles in the Apostles times?
A01760And I would understand, if any of our Opposites dare say, that Papists commit no such Idolatry, as here I impute to them?
A01760And againe: Vis tuam voluntatem esse regulam rerum omnium, ut omnia siant pro tuo beneplacito?
A01760And as for the Reconcilers themselves, may they not conceave strong hopes to compasse their end?
A01760And doth not q B. Lindsey himselfe with Chrysoftome call the festivall of Christs Nativity, metropolim omnium festorum?
A01760And doth not the Bishop of n Winchester teach, that in our going out,& comming in, and in all our actions, we must looke to the rule of expediency?
A01760And further I demand, why are the Colossians d rebuked, for subjecting themselves to those ordinances, Touch not, Taste not, Handle not?
A01760And further, if any such reasons be to be given forth for the Ceremonies, why are they so long kept up from us?
A01760And hovv vvill the B. make their participation free of this Idolatrous kneeling?
A01760And how many who refuse them, are animated to use them against their consciences, and so to bee damned?
A01760And how oft shall we need to tell our Opposites, that subjection is one thing,& obedience another?
A01760And how then can the Princes making of such lawes, be called an action of civill, not of spirituall jurisdiction?
A01760And if they be not vera spiritualia, why calls he them res spirituales?
A01760And inded who dare take this for a sure rule, that we ought to follow every auncient and universaly receaved custome?
A01760And might not then the Church in those places, both elect and ordaine Ministers?
A01760And saith not Bishop o Spotswood, it is not to be denied, but they are Ceremonies, which for the inconveniency they bring, ought to be resisted?
A01760And shall they who call themselves the Apostles Successors, compell, constraine, and inthrale the consciences of the people of God?
A01760And shall we be so willing to be reconciled with them to the prejudice of the trueth?
A01760And shall we now Idolize the persons of Princes more then Papists doe the persons of Popes?
A01760And to take the little ones of Babylon; whiles they are young, and dash their heads against the stones?
A01760And was there none such among the people of God?

A01760And what is that, but that shee marry according to the rules of the Word?
A01760And what is that?
A01760And what meane y our Writers, when they say, that Kings have no spirituall, but only a civill power in the Church?

A01760And what saith the Canon Law it self?
A01760And what think we is understood by this Mistery, for reverence whereof we are commanded to kneele?

A01760And will Paybody say, that he tooke the Cup so soone as he tooke the Bread?
A01760And would not the Apostle, for all that, have forbidden as he did the using of this liberty with the offence of others?
A01760And would ye know his reason?
A01760And, h who can understand his errors?
A01760Are their mindes so aliened from us?
A01760Are they so unwilling to be recōciled to the prejudice of their errors?
A01760Are we refractary in other things as Balaams asse said to his Master?
A01760Art thou a Doctor in Israell, and knowest not these things?
A01760At that time when the Congregation is assembled; And where?
A01760Be it so: but how make they up a necessary connexion betwixt certaine Rites,& significant Ceremonies of human institution?
A01760Be not ye the servants of men?
A01760Be not ye unequally yoked with unbeleevers: for, what fellow ship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousnesse?
A01760Besides, find we not, that they were sharply reprooved, when they made themselves like other Nations?
A01760But I reply, what meanes he by these words, in se?
A01760But I would know what that was, which standing upon the Altar, made them to kneele in the participation; if it was not the Hoste it self?
A01760But how can one imagine that betwixt them two alone the matter went to suffrages?
A01760But how long shall simple ones love simplicity, or rather, scorners hate knowledge?
A01760But how?
A01760But if they have no spirituall power, that is, no power of spirituall jurisdiction, how can they actually exerce spirituall jurisdiction?
A01760But in good earnest, what doe they meane, vvho say they are scandalized, or made vvorse by our Non- conformity?
A01760But let their reasons be so good as any can be, shall we be thought obstinate for being offended not with standing of their reason?
A01760But say the oath had been rashe and temerarious, shall it not therefore oblige?
A01760But still I aske, are we absolutely and allwayes bound to obey Magistrats?
A01760But vvhat can be more waighty, and vvhat doth more pertaine to the body of the Church, then to cut off some member from the body?

A01760But what saith r Calvine?
A01760But what then is the part of the Prince, after that the Church hath given judgement?
A01760But what- saith Cartwright against them?
A01760But what?
A01760But what?
A01760But what?
A01760Can he hereupon inferre, that kneeling in that action is to be retained, notwithstanding of any contagion of Idolatry, which it hath receaved?
A01760Could he not distinguish betwixt subjection and obedience?
A01760Could there be nothing promised for Proselytes but only a matter of religion?
A01760Cur igitur etiam volebat tolli imagines omnes?

A01760Doe I talke of a Chimaera,& imagine now that which is not?
A01760Doe our Opposites thinke that the bane of Peace, is never in yeelding to the course of the time, but ever in refuising to yeeld?
A01760Doe they destroy most openly all honour of the Idoll, to which kneeling was dedicated?
A01760Doe they keepe kneeling for privat use?
A01760Doe they not aknovvledge the indifferency of the thinges themselves?
A01760Doe they not permit many of their people either to kneel, or to sit at the communion?
A01760Doe they not stande so much upon expediency, that this tenent is received with them?
A01760Doe we allowe of no externall Rites and Ceremonies in Divine worship?
A01760Doe we not expose our selves to the hazard of all these things?
A01760Doth not the Bishops Substitute, beeing a Layman, examine and judge the whole matter, decree, and give sentence what is to be done?
A01760Durst the Bishop say, that this ordinance of Superiours had beene of greater waight and superiour reason, then the Law of Charity which is Gods Law?
A01760Ergo devotum Deo obsequium Eucharistiae resolvit, an magis Deo obligat?
A01760Finally, were the Churches of Pergamos and Theatyra, reprooved, because they did not restore things sacrificed to Idolls, to their right use?
A01760For are not Res and Verum reciprocall, as wel as Ens and Verum?
A01760For how can we by the flesh of Christ understand his Godhead?
A01760For how can we orderly both speake to God by prayer, and to our selves by meditation at one instant of time?
A01760For how could he then be understood: if using the note and name they used, he should have fled from the signification whereunto they used it?
A01760For how may a Prince command that which his Subjects may not doe?
A01760For if they be Ecclesiasticall and sacred Ceremonies( not fleshly and wordly) why will he not also acknowledge them for true spirituall things?
A01760For things conducing to Faith and manners, which the Church hath power to determine particularly, what are they other then circumstances?
A01760For was not that a very rash oath which the Princes of Israel did sweare to the Gibeonites, not asking Counsell at the mouth of the Lord?
A01760For what if your seeing Guides be taken from you?
A01760For what is the Law of Nations, but that which Natures light& reason hath taught to all Nations?
A01760For what meanes he here by a matter?
A01760For who seeth not, that the kneeling there spoken of, is a kneeling in the action of solemne praise, and Ioyfull noise of singing unto the Lord?
A01760For who should recall him, but they who sent him?
A01760For z How shall they Preach except they bee sent?
A01760For, was not their conscience in an error, who thought they might not lawfully eate all sorts of meat?
A01760For, who hath given such a vertue to that dumbe and idle Signe, as to work that which God onely can worke?
A01760Had no man given scandall by obedience to this ordinance?
A01760Hath he not the Presbiters tong tied to his belt?
A01760Hath their kneeling not so much as any shew of the breaden- Gods honour?
A01760Have not many of themselves taken the Communion sitting in some places?
A01760Have not our Conformists in Scotland hitherto commonly omitted Bishopping of Children, and the ministration of the Sacraments in private places?
A01760He had said to better purpose; what is it that may offend them, or doth offend them, that it may be voided?
A01760Held they it not unlawfull, not to circumcise Titus?
A01760His Majestydesires our gesture of sitting at the Communion to be changed into kneeling: why ought not the s ● … me to be do ● …?
A01760Hovv shall vve knovv vvhere vve have the B. and his fellovves?
A01760How absurd a tenet is this which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed and not commanded?
A01760How cruelly corrected?
A01760How doth this place( now would I know,) make any thing for Paybody?
A01760How few feeling members were there to be found behind, who truly lay to heart her estate and condition?

A01760How long shall our Opposites not distinguish betwixt mediate and immediate worship?
A01760How mercilesly is it menaced?
A01760How much more reason have we to abstaine from the Ceremonies of the Church of Rome, lest we seeme to Romanize?
A01760How shall we then reconcile him with himself?
A01760How then is this place alledged, to prove, that the whole Church, collectivè, hath Power and Auctority to binde and loose?
A01760How then shall you see to keep out of the ditch?
A01760How thinks he that a man of so great auctority and charge, was alone in his Iourny?
A01760I demand againe; though adultery, murder& c. be in themselves unlawfull, what is it that should offend us?
A01760I is it not his meaning, that wee should doe nothing upon the mere will and pleasure of men, or propter hominem& non propter Deum?
A01760I would learne of him what makes a lawfull ordinance about matters of fact or thinges to be done?
A01760I x saith Bucer?
A01760IX the Law of Nature doe they ground the Ceremonies?
A01760If he had ought to say against this answere, why is he silent?
A01760If it be demanded, to what purpose serveth then the enacting of Ecclesiasticall Lawes, since they have not in them any power to bind the conscience?
A01760If it be necessary, what makes it to be so?
A01760If it be necessary, why doe many of their owne Disciples take the Communion, sitting in places where sitting is used?
A01760If it be said again, what should be done to them, who have not laid downe the error of conscience, but doe still retaine the same?
A01760If it must depend upon Prelats, and wait upon their leasure; what hath imposition of hands adoe with Catechising?
A01760If kneeling in the act of receiving the Lords Supper be necessary, why have themselves two, written so much for the indifferency of it?
A01760If obedience be the chiefe thing stood upon, why are not other Lawes and Statutes urged as strictly, as those which concerne the Ceremonies?
A01760If the spirituall: why did not the Synod ordaine us to kneele in hearing the Gospell?
A01760If then it be enough to pitch upon custome, why ought not those customes to have been commended& continued?
A01760If these hoped that Popish Princes would accept such answeares from them, shall not we?
A01760If we aske, what is this generall kynd commanded of God to which these Ceremonies doe belong?
A01760In the handling of controversies of Faith, have Princes no place nor power at all, beside that of Politicall governement onely?
A01760Is not the pa ● … ish Minister able to Catechise them?
A01760Is not their power absolute in that respect?
A01760Jf we will make the text agree well with it self, how can we but take both these for one?
A01760Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lumpe?
A01760Lastly, what saith d Becane the Iesuite?
A01760May we last of all heare what the b Canon Law it selfe decreeth?
A01760May we then know what that is?
A01760Nay, art thou a Conformist, and knowest not what thy i fellow Conformists doe hold?
A01760Nay, what if some pretend, that they edify?
A01760Nay, what talke I of feare?

A01760Now fiftly, if the kneeling in question be not Idolatrously referred to the Sacrament, I demand, whereunto is it specially intended?
A01760Now if I be standing in a Church- yard when it raineth, may not I go into the Church that I may be defended from the injury of the weather?
A01760Now what meaneth Christ by the Church, to which he giveth the power of binding and loosing?
A01760Now what of all this?
A01760Now wherein doe we injure or harme our Opposites, in their persons, callings, places,& c?
A01760Now, if in the publicke eating of the bread, Standing was to be left; Which gesture was to come in place of it?
A01760Now, who can remit the punishment, and save one from underlying the censure, except such as have the power and auctority of judgement?
A01760Of the gaining of the Adversaries, l Augustine speaketh better, for if you demand, unde vincantur pagani, unde illuminentur, unde ad salutem vocentur?

A01760Secoundly, did not l Eli make Idols of his Sonnes, when he spared them and bare with them, though with the prejudice of Gods worship?
A01760Shall I say, saith a Mr. Hooker, that the Signe of the Crosse( as we use it) is a meane in some sort to worke our preservation from reproach?
A01760Shall the Chast Spouse of Christ take upon her the ornaments of the Whoore?
A01760Shall the Church draw, and put up againe, the Spirituall Sword, at the pleasure of Princes?
A01760Shall the Israell of God symbolize with her, who is spiritually called Sodome and Egypt?
A01760Shall the Lords redeemed people weare the ensignes of their captivity?
A01760Shall the Prince now view and consider the breaches and defects of the City, better and sooner then the Watchmen themselves?
A01760Shall the Saincts be seen with the marke of the beast?
A01760Shall they swallow these and such like soule destroying Camels, and all for straining out the gnate of communicating precisely upon Easter day?
A01760Shall we let this vvilde Distinction passe, because it can not 〈 ◊ 〉 well nor formally interpreted?

A01760Shemei is slaine: what?
A01760Superstitious use can marre the very institutions of God: how much more the most wise and well grounded devices of men?
A01760The Corinthians moved a question, whether they might lawfully eat things sacrificed to Idolls?
A01760The Word is this: all things are cleane to the cleane: Now let me heare thus much of your Ceremonies, and I shall give you the argument?
A01760Thereafter he pleadeth thus, and we with him: What signes see men in us of pride and comtempt?
A01760Think they then that our taking of offence can excuse their giving of offence?
A01760Thinkes he that there are any offended without their owne fault?
A01760This is objected to m Ioseph Hall, by the Brownists: and what can he say to it?
A01760Those that would have Titus circumcised, were they not malitious?
A01760Though the B. pretend, that the observing of our Holy- dayes is not imposed with opinion of necessity, shall we therefore thinke it is so?
A01760Though they might attend the discharging of this duty; why should it be made their peculiar?
A01760Thought he his bare assertion should suffice?
A01760To what purpose tells he, it is their owne fault?
A01760Valde necessaria admonitio, nam semper propendet mundus in illam partem, uti Deum externis obsequiis velit colere; But what, will some say?
A01760Was it not, because they were appointed for Doctrines?

A01760What pleasure?
A01760What preferment?
A01760What shall I say, saith q Paybody?

A01760What?
A01760When I put on my shooes in reference to walking or wash my hands in reference to eating, am I using Ceremonies all the while?
A01760When it is asked, wherefore the loadstone doth attract yron rather then other mettall?
A01760When they are demanded why doe they yeeld to them, since they aknowledge great inconveniency in them?

A01760Whereas he demandeth, if the thinges be in themselves lawfull; what is it that should offend them?
A01760Wherefore was it that the diverse washings of the Pharises were rejected by Christ, as a vaine worship?

A01760Why did he not prove his proposition?
A01760Why did they carry matters so factiously and violently?
A01760Why doe our Divines controvert with the Papists, de adoratione Eucharistiae, if Papists adore it not in the participation?
A01760Why doe they not keepe one way, and institute a Holy- day for every particular head of Catechise?
A01760Why doe you goe about to adstrict or limite our use of such things, as God hath neither commanded nor forbidden?

A01760Why holdeth he, that things externall in the worship of God are not vera spiritualia?
A01760Why holds he us contemners of the Church, for not receiving the five Articles of Perth?
A01760Why judgeth he that we are not scandalized through weaknesse, but through malice and contumacy?

A01760Why should I blot paper with such a vanity, which implyeth a contradiction, bodily and not bodily, spiritually and not spiritually?

A01760Why was trin- immersion in Baptisme, and fasting upon the Lords day forbidden, for that the Heretikes did so?
A01760Why yeeldeth he the same power to Princes in governing Ecclesiastica, which he yeldeth them in governing Ecclesiasticos?
A01760Why?
A01760Will he correct the Apostle, and teach us, that we need not care for apparent, but for certain dangers?
A01760Will he say this much of ordinary times appointed for weekly preaching?
A01760Will we have them to speake for themselves?
A01760Yet what saith k B. Spotswood to the cause?

A01760and what way doe they not impede the Edification of the Church?
A01760are they not therefore scandalous, because in themselves lawfull?
A01760are we not commanded to abstaine from all appearance of evill?
A01760calls he this a superstitious vowe, which abjured all superstition and superstitious Rites?
A01760could an Ecclesiasticall decree command Paul to take wages in the case of Scandall?

A01760from how small beginnings did the Mistery of iniquity advance it''s progression?
A01760had it not been enough, not to apply this Rite to a superstitious use, as y Aquinas sheweth the Gentiles did?
A01760have I used to serve thee so at other tymes?

A01760may they not confidently imbarke in this businesse?
A01760may they not with great exspectation of prosperous successe atchieve their project?
A01760meanes he the individuall nature of the action?
A01760merely for going out of the Citie?
A01760might it not, for all that, be meerely civill?
A01760or a Proctor, a Prater?
A01760or could hee have obeyed such a decree in the case of Scandall?
A01760or despise ye the Church of God?
A01760or shall we excuse him, because he had nothing to say to it?
A01760or where learned he such a Dialect, as giveth to some good things, the name of the things indifferent?
A01760or, were they not rather reprooved for having any thing at all a doe with the things themselves?

A01760that quicquid non expedit, quatenus non expedit, non licet?
A01760that the defender of the faith, will not refuise to take them from us?
A01760the act was little, the bond was great: What is commanded matters, not so much, as by whom?
A01760thinke ye that I sinne?
A01760thought hee, this Power of Kings is not a st ● … cted to the Rules of the Word?

A01760what if hey be not expedient?
A01760what law?
A01760what need I to say more?
A01760what reason?
A01760what?
A01760wherefore followe we the course of the Moone, as the Iewes did; in our moveable Feasts?
A01760whether is thy beauty gon from thee?
A01760who is ignorant of these things, except he be a stranger in our Israell?
A01760who is not made to stumble?
A01760who seeth not that the Ceremonies are the incendiary sparkles, from which the fire of contention hath its beeing and burning?

A01760why was the very externall use of it forbidden?
A01760z Saith not Christ they sate in Moses Chaire?
A59435''T is true his luck was so good that he found it: But how?
A59435( 80) And how often doth he call them, Liars, Misrepresenters, Calumniators,& c.?
A59435( 85) What?
A59435( d) Nay how forward were the Presbyterian Ministers themselves to propagate this pretence?
A59435( d) Who will not, at first sight, think this a pretty odd fetch?
A59435( e) Where then, was the great haste?
A59435( l) How unfaithfully was it done of him, I say, thus to conceal one of the most Crimson Guilts of the Nation?
A59435( m) And how often doth he impute it all to the Earl of Morton?
A59435( n) Now for answer to all this, in the first place, what if one should allow all that is alledged?
A59435( q) Is this like the Clamour which has been ordinary with our Presbyterians, about the Idolatry of the Church of England?
A59435( q) The making Doctors or Professors of Divinity in Colledges and Vniversities a distinct Office, and, of Divine Institution?
A59435( r) And is not Imparity fairly Established there?
A59435( r) The setting up of Lay- Elders, as Governours of the Church, Jure Divino?
A59435( t) Did not he Concur, at the Coronation of King Iames the Sixth, with a Bishop and two Superintendents, Anno 1567?
A59435( t) Prohibiting Appeals from Scottish General Assemblies to any Iudge Civil or Ecclesiastick?
A59435( w) Now, what can be more clear than that all this work was against Presbyters, as much as against Bishops?
A59435( w) Was not he, some time, a Commissioner for Visitation, as they were then called, i. e. a Temporary Bishop?
A59435( y) wherein Imparity was so formally established?
A59435109. in Mr. Gellies Case, How easily could he reject all the Testimonies that were adduced?
A594351645, nor 1648, nor 1649 excepted?
A59435After this, what may not our Author make ane Argument, that Prelacy is such ane ill- lik''t thing, as he would have it?
A59435After two have voted out one, why may not one, the more numerous, vote out the other, the less numerous?
A59435Amongst many other Reformations, He is for Reforming their Bishopricks indeed: But how?
A59435And again it was asked the People, Will ye not acknowledge this your Brother for the Minister of Christ Jesus?
A59435And can it be imagined that Henry, who was so serious with the King of Scots, was at no pains at all with his Subjects?
A59435And can there be a greater Demonstration( says he) of the General inclination of this Nation against Prelacy?
A59435And can we think, tho all these had been Presbyters duly ordained, That they were the only men who carried on the Scottish Reformation?
A59435And did not he, then, Act in a Degree of Superiority above the Rest of his Brethren, within the bounds of his Commission?
A59435And did not he, then, give the Royal Assent to some Acts of Parliament, made clearly in favour of Imparity?
A59435And doth not the Letter all alongst allow of the Episcopal Power and Authority of these English Bishops?
A59435And have they not, herein, manifestly Deserted the undoubted principles and sentiments of our Reformers?
A59435And have we not our Author, now, a Deep- learn''d Glossator?
A59435And how easy were it to Confute as well as Represent some of Master Knox''s principles which perhaps were peculiar to him?
A59435And how impossible is it, at this Rate, ever to think of a Catholick Communion among Christians?
A59435And how long did She foment our Civil wars after they brake out Anno 1567?
A59435And how was it to be imagined, that England would not invade Scotland, if Scotland did not follow England''s Measures?
A59435And if it must continue there, what constant Perils must our Kirk needs be in, especially so long as both Kingdoms are under one Monarch?
A59435And is it not very well known that She had ane hand in the Road of Ruthven 1582, and in all our Scottish seditions, Generally?
A59435And is not G. R. now a potent Author?
A59435And is not that all I am concerned for?
A59435And is not this a Demonstration, that Knox was Presbyterian?
A59435And is not this a pleasant Attestation?
A59435And it was obvious that it might easily be found High Treason in them, that they had suffered such Alterations?
A59435And may it not pass for a probable conjecture, that that concerning Vnity in Religious Worship and Ceremonies was one of them?
A59435And must it not have it still?
A59435And now have you not, from his own Friendly self, a Fair Demonstration of his own Folly and Futility?
A59435And now let any man judge if G. R. was not inspired with a goodly dose of Poetick( Fire shall I call it?
A59435And now may not the Presbyterians separate lawfully?
A59435And now, kind Reader, judge impartially, was not this a Gross Calumny?
A59435And now, who fitter than he to be the Vindicator of the Kirk of Scotland?
A59435And should not it bear its share?
A59435And that it was a contrivance of the wicked and envious Papists, thereby, to Ruine the Church of England?
A59435And that the Presbyterians were the only People who Preached against it zealously, and opposed it boldly?
A59435And that the Sons of the Church of England were Christ''s Disciples?
A59435And that there''s nothing more necessary than Vniformity for preserving Vnity?
A59435And that they could return to the Church, when it should be retracted?
A59435And then subdivide and vote out, till the whole Parliament shall consist of the Commissioner for Rutherglen, or the Laird of or the Earl of Crawford?
A59435And was not Doctor Strachan Deprived, even before the Letter of the Estates was sent to London?
A59435And was not the Church of England of that same very constitution, then, that it was of in King Charles the First his time, for example, Anno 1642?
A59435And was there any other Fond for owning them for Bishops, at that time, except the Agreement at Leith?
A59435And what can be more part to this purpose than the Supplication which was presented by our Reformers to the Parliament, Anno 1560?
A59435And what greater Argument, of the truth of every one, of the Allegations, than the Confession of a right uncourteous Adversary?
A59435And what ground had they to hope that she would be friend them?
A59435And what more feasible and proper way for her security, than to have the Affections, and by consequence the Power of Scotland on her side?
A59435And what needed more after this?
A59435And what then?
A59435And what tho''the Meetings seem''d to be of uncertain continuance?
A59435And who can be a more manifest Lier than he, who, upon every turn, vomits Contradictions?
A59435And who can say but this Opinion might have been in a Breast, which entertain''d no scruples about the Lawfulness of Episcopacy?
A59435And who could condemn the Assembly for taking a course that was both so natural and so obvious?
A59435And who sees not that the Force of the Argument lay in Scotland''s obnoxiousness to England''s impressions?
A59435And, That he shewed himself severe to the Transgressors?
A59435And, What tho the Register calls this Meeting a Convention?
A59435And, it should be constructed to have no more weight than if it had been Regularly ranked in its own Category?
A59435Anno 1579, as a doubt, whither it was Lawful to Marry on week days, a sufficient number being present, and joyning Preaching thereunto?
A59435Are not all the Prelatists perjur''d,& c.?
A59435Are not the Presbyterians unrighteous in taking from them all Right to Rule, when they have Right to Rule the Episcopal Church of Scotland?
A59435Are not these Ancient and Catholick Assertions?
A59435Are not these pretty pleasant Criticisms on 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A59435Are they not injurious to them who make them capable of such a bare faced absurdity?
A59435Are they not received maxims, that, Non sunt multiplicanda entia sine necessitate, and Deus& natura nihil faciunt frustra?
A59435Because Leslie was a Papist, must his very Latine be Reformed?
A59435Behold them, examine them carefully; is not each of them as essential and specifick as another?
A59435Besides, What strange Divinity is it to maintain, that Parity is of divine Institution, and yet, may be laid aside in Cases of Necessity?
A59435Besides, can he prove that it was Choice, and not that same kind of Necessity, that led them in the way they have lately followed?
A59435Besides, how inconsistent was the making of this proposition with the Integrity and Honesty of a Regent?
A59435Besides, is not the Lawfulness of imparity clearly imported in the Third Conclusion?
A59435Besides, what gain''d they by these their frequent Insurrections and Rebellions?
A59435But Granting this, how shall we be able to separate that which is Spurious in it from that which is Genuine?
A59435But I am afraid our Author, here, turn''d weary of his Sincerity: For who spake publickly against these practices of the Rabble?
A59435But What can be said of his Impudence?
A59435But after all this, is it not pleasant that G. R. forsooth, should so zealously exaggerate the Crime of Contemning the Authority of the Nation?
A59435But can this be done indeed?
A59435But did he indeed acknowledge the truth of all the Allegations?
A59435But doth not this Act condemn Episcopacy?
A59435But from whom had he these Informations, mostly?
A59435But hath this any relation to the Divine Right of Parity?
A59435But how treats he the other Topick, about their not going to the Presbyterian Meetings, when they had King Iames his Toleration for it?
A59435But how?
A59435But if he was King before that, where is the use of the Oath, or the Claim of Right?
A59435But if it is still to the fore; If the Nation is still possessed of it; where is it ● odged, if it is not Lodged in King and Parliament?
A59435But in the mean time what is all this to Parity or Imparity amongst the Governors of the Church?
A59435But is he as Civil to the Church of England?
A59435But is he as modest at mixt Matters where both Right and Fact are concerned?
A59435But is the Second Reason any better?
A59435But is there no more to be said?
A59435But is there no such Period to be found in the Acts of that Parliament?
A59435But then, let any man who looks not through Mr. Petries Spectacles, tell me what this has to do with Parity or Imparity?
A59435But to go on, why should this Assembly bear the whole Blame of this Corruption, if it was one?
A59435But to what purpose, if Superintendency was to be of so short continuance?
A59435But was it not a corrupt Convention?
A59435But we Christians, when we do the like, must be Condemn''d of inhumanity?
A59435But were not these Commissioners in too great haste to come to ane Agreement when they met with the Delegates of the State?
A59435But were our Reformers, indeed, for this Rule?
A59435But what have they ever felt?
A59435But what if it was so?
A59435But what needs more?
A59435But what needs more?
A59435But what needs more?
A59435But what of all this?
A59435But what was this to M.?
A59435But who sees not how many things are wanting, here, to make a probable Argument, much more, a Demonstration?
A59435But would G. R. allow him this Demand, which had so much of plain equity in it?
A59435But would they have cleaved to the former way if they had thought it a great and insupportable Grievance and Trouble?
A59435But, if so, what can be said for the Solemn League and Covenant?
A59435By abolishing them?
A59435By the way, May not one wish, that he and his party had stood here?
A59435Can all be made as safe on the South side?
A59435Can not the same, the very same Creators pretend to a power of Altering their own ill- made Creature, and make it Better?
A59435Can the world see any thing here that lookt like the Divine Right of Parity?
A59435Could he have expected, they would have favoured the Divine Right of Presbyterian Parity?
A59435Could they have wished the Church in weaker circumstances for asserting her own Rights than she was in, before this Agreement?
A59435Did Master Knox consider or know what manner of spirit he was of, when he offered up such petitions?
A59435Did it not allow Pont, a Minister, to be a Lord of the Session?
A59435Did not both these Gentlemen know this sufficiently?
A59435Did not he publickly and solemnly admit Mr. Iohn Spotswood to the Superintendency of Lothian, Anno 1561?
A59435Did not he sit, and vote, and concur in many General Assemblies, where Acts were made for performing Canonical Obedience to Superintendents?
A59435Did not our Reformers promise Mutual Faith to the English, as well as the English promised to them?
A59435Did our Author and his Party reckon upon these Gentlemen, then, as Presbyterians?
A59435Did the Parity- men gain no ground in this Assembly?
A59435Did they ever in the least offer to return that the having ane Ecclesiastical Estate in Parliament was a Popish Corruption?
A59435Did they not address to God, that he would dissipate their Counsels, and let their Malicious Practices be their own Confusion?
A59435Did they think that Divine institutions might be dispensed with, crossed, according to the Exigencies of Expediency or Inexpediency?
A59435Do not you Heathen Philosophers the same?
A59435Do these differences, he has adduced, distinguish between Bishops and Superintendents as to preheminence of power, and the essentials of Prelacy?
A59435Do they all discharge their Trust, and perform their work by themselves, there, as they will be Answerable to him, from whom they got their Trust?
A59435Do they not Delegate these, and Devolve their power upon them, and Constitute them their Representatives for the Assembly?
A59435Do they not fairly acknowledge, that the Prelacy of Superintendents was established at the Reformation?
A59435Do they prove that Superintendents had no Prerogative, no Authority, no Jurisdiction, over Parish Ministers?
A59435Doth every man condemn the Office, who condemns this or that Officer?
A59435Doth he love it the worse that it was established, purely, by Ecclesiastical Authority?
A59435Doth he not acknowledge, that all the ordinary Members were there, which used to constitute Assemblies?
A59435Doth he not suppose, that the Church of England, as then established, was Christ''s Boat, his Church?
A59435Doth he not suppose, that these two Brothers, as Sons of the Church of England, ought to have been assuredly knit together, by Christian Charity?
A59435Doth it not strick equally against both Orders, that of Presbyters, as well as that of Bishops?
A59435Doth it not, at first sight, appear a little too big and swelling?
A59435Doth not Calderwood acknowledge, that they voted themselves ane Assembly, in their second Session?
A59435For Knox''s practice would have sufficiently determined the matter: For, Did not he compile the First Book of Discipline?
A59435For Original- Contract, and Claim- of Right- makers?
A59435For did not Pont, even then continue to be a Lord of the Session?
A59435For do n''t you hear him plainly affirming, that K. I. was a LAWFUL SOVERAIGN?
A59435For he was careful, indeed, to avoid the making of his one Church of Scotland, Biceps, and made it something else: But what thing?
A59435For instance; What else is the confounding of the Offices of Bishops and Presbyters?
A59435For the Question is not whither Superintendency was design''d to be perpetual or temporary?
A59435For when they came to be divided, how mean were their Allotments?
A59435For who but a Futile Fool would have said, that he differed in his Sentiments from the Soberest and Wisest?
A59435For who can believe he would institute a Model of Government for his Church, which could not answer the ends of its institution?
A59435For who knows not that it was not in the Power of the Bishops, but of the King, to Convocate a National Synod?
A59435For who knows not that our Reformation was carried on by Elizabeths Auspices?
A59435For who sees not that all the Infamy terminates on the Author, in the Rebound?
A59435For why?
A59435For, Is not Prelacy abjur''d in Scotland?
A59435For, What tho the next ordinary Assembly was not appointed to meet till March thereafter?
A59435For, are all the Ruling Officers of Christs appointment, Both Preaching and Governing Elders allowed to be Members of General Assemblies?
A59435For, how could they own him as King so long as he had not taken the Oath, nor Agreed to the Claim of Right?
A59435For, what tho, in these times, there were few qualified men for the Ministery?
A59435Further, How were they alarm''d?
A59435Had he been so perswaded, how seasonable had it been for him to have spoken out so much, when he was brought before King Edwards Council?
A59435Had the Clergy so suddenly fallen from their daily, their constant, their continual Claim to the Revenues of the Church?
A59435Had the whole Church quate all their pretensions, they insisted on so much, on every Occasion?
A59435Had they believed the Divine Right of Parity, how could they have received them so much as, for ane Interim?
A59435Had they in ane instant, altered their sentiments about Sacrilege, and things consecrated to Holy uses?
A59435Had they more power under One name than under Another?
A59435Had they now given over their Claim to the Revenues of the Church?
A59435Has he not discovered that even the sober Presbyterian Ministers were privy to the plot of it?
A59435Has he not discovered that the Rabbling of the Clergy was not the product of Chance or Accident, but a Deliberated, a Consulted, ane Advised politick?
A59435Has he not told, that they spake against it, before it was Acted, for preventing it?
A59435Has he now Retracted his making them two Churches?
A59435Has it lost it?
A59435Have they any Divine, Natural or Municipal Law for the Validity of their Testimonies beyond other Men?
A59435Have we not G. R. now, a very accurate Historian?
A59435He neither offers at proving his Subsumption, nor at adducing any other Topick: And has he not proven the point demonstratively?
A59435He raised ane Army to invade England; But with what success?
A59435He says, That most of them who were thrust out by the Rabble, were put out by their own Consciences: But after this, what might he not have said?
A59435Here it is, I say: Has he not, here, discovered ane important Secret of his party?
A59435Hitherto we have innovated, but we will innovate no farther?
A59435How Rankly did it smell of the Whore?
A59435How blind was Master Andrew Melvil?
A59435How came the Apostle to prescribe no Rules about Presbyters?
A59435How came the meeting of Estates by it, then?
A59435How can he be said to Contemn the Authority of the Nation, who Reasons upon the Nations Authority?
A59435How can our present Regnant Presbyterians justify their Omission of it?
A59435How can that be called insupportable, which is not of such Malignity in a Church as to make her Communion sinful?
A59435How can the Nation subsist without a Supra- Legal, Supra- Original- Contract, Supra- claim of Right Power?
A59435How could they have received them at all?
A59435How did Lewis requite this?
A59435How doth it unhinge all things?
A59435How easy to perceive the plain features of Faction, and the Lineaments of a preposterous Fondness to have their way and party had in Admiration?
A59435How easy were it to dwell longer on this subject?
A59435How easy were it, more fully to expose such dangerous and dreadful Methods?
A59435How easy, to carry on his project against other men, who perhaps, had no such Merit, no such Repute, no such Interest in the Affections of the People?
A59435How far is this from looking on this Holy Sacrament, as ane ordinary, tho''a very signal part of Divine worship?
A59435How follows it, that therefore it was necessary to raise up Superintendents, and set them above their Brethren?
A59435How impossible were it, at this rate, to Celebrate the Sacrament, once a Month in every Parish Church?
A59435How long since he turn''d ● ond of Parliamentary Establishments?
A59435How many have been so?
A59435How many of these, now, when there is no force on them, shew, that it was not choice but necessity that led them that way?
A59435How many, such, have been called since the Reformation?
A59435How many?
A59435How much did they insist on this pretence Anno 1638?
A59435How much more impossible to restore it to its due and proper frequency?
A59435How often did they Protest to the Marquis of Hamilton, then, the Kings Commissioner, that their meaning was not to Abolish Episcopal Government?
A59435How seasonable had it been, in his Letter to the Queen Regent of Scotland, written, Anno 1556, and published by himself, with additions, Anno 1558?
A59435How shall we defend our Forty- three- men and all the Covenanting work of Reformation, in that Glorious Period?
A59435How suitable is all this to the Presbyterian temper and principles?
A59435How then could it be that Act of Parliament which so awakened them?
A59435How would they provide him with ane Ecclesiastical Estate, now that they had abolished Bishops?
A59435How?
A59435I add further, What tho''they had own''d them as K. and Q. by their Proclamation of the 11 th of April?
A59435I will neither engage, at present, with him, in the Question, who is the Scottish Schismatick?
A59435If Morton depended so much on her, as may make it credible that he was subservient to her Designs in this Politick?
A59435If Morton depended so much on her, as to make it feasible that he might be subservient to her Designs, in this Politick?
A59435If it be likely that the Assembly in August 1572. protested against it as a Corruption?
A59435If it is probable that Queen Elizabeth was willing that the Presbyterian humor should be Encouraged in Scotland?
A59435If it was never approven( when Bishops were thus petitioned for) by a General Assembly?
A59435If so, I ask again, what the Coronation Oath, or the Claim of Right signified?
A59435If the Rabbled Minister adduced Witnesses( as was done in the Case,& c. in several Instances) And they subscribed the Account, was he then satisfied?
A59435If the person who was barbarously used by the Rabble, gave an Account of his own Usage,( and who could do it better?)
A59435If there are any such in the Nation?
A59435If they have any sufficient Fund, in the Records of these times, for this pretence?
A59435If they own''d him as King before that, was he not King before that?
A59435If this Assembly, petitioning thus for Bishops, believed the divine and indispensible institution of Parity?
A59435If this Church had been Reformed by Presbyters, would that have been a good Argument for Abolishing Prelacy?
A59435In short, Is not that same power still in the Nation which established the Claim of Right?
A59435In short, Who knows not that that Rabble was in Edenburgh as early as the Estates themselves?
A59435Is any thing said, here, that contradicts, that looks like contradicting the Matter of Fact?
A59435Is it not as practicable to poll the Kingdom about Church Government, as to poll it, for raising the present subsidy, which is imposed by poll?
A59435Is it not clear that, with our Author, the Articles of our present Claim of Right are unalterable?
A59435Is it not hard to find, for it, a certain and determined sound?
A59435Is it not plain, here, that the Meeting houses were contrary to Law?
A59435Is it not plainly to set up the Ius Laicorum Sacerdotale in opposition to both?
A59435Is it not pleasant, I say, to rely upon the Testimony of such barbarous Villains, and take their own word for their own Vindication?
A59435Is it reasonable to judge of a whole Kingdom by a corner of it?
A59435Is not such unaccountable Parade much liker to the Popish Processions, than the Devout Performances of the purer times of Genuine Christianity?
A59435Is not the Oath of God upon Presbyterians, nay on all the Nation, not to own Prelacy?
A59435Is not this Article, therefore, a New Fundamental, added to the Constitution of the Ancient Scottish Monarchy?
A59435Is not this a Demonstration, that they understood Henry''s project, and approved his designs?
A59435Is one corrupt Act of ane Assembly enough to reprobate all the rest of its Acts?
A59435Is there so much as one syllable here that Contradicts the Epistlers position?
A59435Is there such an opposition between the words, Convention and Assembly, that both can not possibly signify the same thing?
A59435It came, therefore, to be very much the subject of common discourse, if it really was so?
A59435It had it once, otherwise how could it ever have had Laws, or Claims of Right, or Original Contracts?
A59435It may be made a Question, whither it can be justly called a part of the Claim of Right?
A59435It may be made another, Whither our Author, here, gave up all the Rabblers to a reprobate Sense?
A59435It were worth enquiring likewise, whom he meant, by Sober Presbyterian Preachers?
A59435Lay it in doing a thing in their Third Session, which might have been done in the First?
A59435Let the candid Reader judge, now, if Episcopacy, by the Leith- Articles was forced upon the Church against her Inclinations?
A59435Let us try next what kind of Government they did establish, when they had got Law for them?
A59435Making them Iudges of mens Qualifications to be admitted to the Sacrament?
A59435May I not reckon the Fast appointed by this Assembly, as a third step gained by our Parity- men?
A59435May not I adduce one Testimony more?
A59435Might he not have given us the Citation just as it was?
A59435Might not all men have said and done so, if they had been as much Presbyterians?
A59435Might not he have been against the Temporal Dignities, and the rich Benefices of the English Bishops, without being against Prelacy?
A59435Might not that have been done without, as well as, with it?
A59435Nay I say they ought to do it: Why?
A59435Nay why may not that one vote cut himself and leave the King without a Parliament?
A59435Nay, further yet, did not our Reformers solemnly pray against those who made the Solemn League and Covenant in the days of King Charles the First?
A59435Nay, has he not published so much, lately, in his Second Vindication?
A59435Nay, may not the Presbyterians themselves reject even G. R. s Testimony?
A59435Nay, was it not to condemn, particularly, all these General Assemblies which, immediately before, had so much Authorized and confirm''d it?
A59435No man, I say, can make more of the Letter: And who doubts but Mr. Knox was so far in the right?
A59435No not D. Burnet?
A59435No not the Brother of such a Brother?
A59435No not the Cousin German of such a Cousin German?
A59435No not the Nephew of such ane Vncle?
A59435No not the Son of such a Mother?
A59435Nothing like it: How then?
A59435Now Lay these two things together, and what is the Result?
A59435Now as I said, is not this a Lamentable state to which the Nation is reduced?
A59435Now if Adamson was so little seen in such matters, what may we judge of the rest?
A59435Now if it had been the same Petition, why would he have said, ad eadem FERE postulata, and PENE paribus Responsis?
A59435Now if they were only occasionally Gathered by those in the West, how could they be called by the Authority of the Estates?
A59435Now what an ill thing is it, for a man, thus, to sap and subvert all his own Foundations?
A59435Now what was his Testimony worth after our Author had given him such a Character?
A59435Now what was this less than striking at the very root of the present Establishment?
A59435Now who sees not the weakness of this Demonstration?
A59435Now who should doubt, after this, that all the Prelatists were silent Encouragers of Popery?
A59435Now, in the first place, I think it might be made a Question, for what Reason our Author changed Leslies words?
A59435Now, who is obliged to take the Testimonies of Presbyterians, in Matters of Fact, more than the Testimonies of Prelatists?
A59435Or Lord lay not this sin to their charge?
A59435Or did he extend the Royal Assent to these Acts in Despight of his Conscience?
A59435Or did this Tender made to W. and his Accepting of it make him King?
A59435Or has any body taken it from it?
A59435Or have they receded from both?
A59435Or rather is it not to make a Prodigie of this Divine Mystery?
A59435Or rather what meant he by treating himself so unmercifully?
A59435Or rather who knows not that this is Bantering the Common sense of all Britain?
A59435Or rather, doth he not positively or expresly assert them?
A59435Or that the constitution might be i ● ● ire enough without it?
A59435Or thrown it away?
A59435Or were the Estates to make them K. and Q. whither they would or not?
A59435Or what could it do without the Soveraigns Allowance?
A59435Or where, or when were they spoken against, before they were acted?
A59435Or whether is it vanished now?
A59435Or will our Brethren say, that''t is a fault to introduce a Corruption, but it is none to continue it when it is introduced?
A59435Or( for all is one with Chrysostom) to be Christians?
A59435Our Reformers never so much as once dream''d, that this was a Popish Corruption: What Sophistry can make it such?
A59435Our Vindicator durst not say he did; And has he not made it evident that it was a silly Argument?
A59435Plainly, if a third part of those who might have s ● te as Members, were present?
A59435Question''d again, what his Judgment was of that Book?
A59435Rank Ill- nature, I mean, and the most stubborn Impudence?
A59435Seeing he has got even them to hate it, who are Conscientiously for it?
A59435Shall I add further?
A59435Shall I declare my poor opinion in this matter?
A59435So much asleep, or senseless, that they could not perceive the Court intended them such a Trick?
A59435So that, to stand by K. I. when England had rejected him, what was it else, than to expose the Nation to unavoidable Ruine?
A59435Suppose it was a Corruption, was it such a plag ● y one as infected all the other Acts of that Convention?
A59435Supposing all this true, what ground have they gained by it?
A59435Than that both should forfeit their Titles?
A59435Than that the King should be no more King, and the Parliament should be no more Parliament?
A59435That Prelacy, and the Superiority of any Office in the Church, ought to be abolished?
A59435That it was ane unwarrantable constitution?
A59435That it was more dangerous, at that time, during the Kings Minority, to have the Constitution so disjoynted, than on other occasions?
A59435That it was not Necessary?
A59435That never man was more obedient to Church Authority than be?
A59435That the Breach between them was ane ungodly Breach of that Charity, by which, Members of that same Church ought to have been assuredly knit together?
A59435That the best way to preserve that Estate, was to continue it in the old, tryed, wisely digested, and long approven Constitution of it?
A59435That the best way to preserve the Rights of the Church, and put her, and keep her in her Possession of her Patrimony, was to preserve that Estate?
A59435That these Tulchan Bishops had only the Name of Bishops, while Noblemen and others had the Revenue, and the Church all the power?
A59435That whosoever was Regent, or whosoever were his Counsellors, might be called to ane account for it, when the King came to perfect Age?
A59435The People, as we had it just now, were asked, if they would obey him as Christs Minister?
A59435The Question is not how it was done?
A59435The Question then is, whither Lesly has faithfully transmitted this Article to us?
A59435The Superintendents thus Mal treated, what wonder was it if they had their own Resentments of it?
A59435The great Reasons the Court could, then, insist on, what else could they be, than that Episcopacy stood still established by Law?
A59435Tho a Parliament should now incline to pity them, yet how could it meet?
A59435Tho''what they conform''d with, in obedience to that Law, was a great and insupportable Grievance to them?
A59435Thus, The People are asked, If they will obey and honour him as Christs Minister, and comfort and assist him in every thing pertaining to his Charge?
A59435To Contradict the fundamental Maximes of his own Scheme by such unadvised propositions?
A59435To call these the sentiments of all the Kingdom, which were only the sentiments of four or five Counties?
A59435To mend this, however, The Case of the afflicted Clergy gave him Attestations, enough, in all Conscience: But did that satisfy him?
A59435To what purpose is the present settlement of the State forced in here?
A59435Tragical to the Prelatists, and Comical to the Presbyterians?
A59435Unchangeable Rules both to King and Parliament?
A59435Visiters of the Sick,& c.( s) Making the Colleges of Presbyters, in Cities, in the primitive times, Lay Eldership?
A59435Was ever Nation so miserably intricated?
A59435Was ever any such thing done?
A59435Was ever such ane Article in a Scottish Claim of Right before?
A59435Was he King ever after the 14 th of Ianuary?
A59435Was it possible for him to have Farced it with more bare- faced Iniquities?
A59435Was not England a powerful and a wise Nation?
A59435Was not Episcopacy restored by the General Assembly at Glasgow, Anno 1610, with very great Unanimity?
A59435Was not he Regent in December 1567?
A59435Was not he one of the Subscribers of the First Book of Discipline?
A59435Was not the Patrimony of the Church, now, to run in its Right Channel?
A59435Was not this, even in a Literal sense Male Natum exponere foetum?
A59435Was the Controversie between him and his Adversary concerned in it, in the least?
A59435Was the Exercise of the Government Tendered to Her also?
A59435Was there more power in the meeting of Estates than there is, now, in King and Parliament?
A59435Was this like either the Sense or the Discretion that were proper for the Vindicator of a Church?
A59435Was this like forgiving others their trespasses as we would wish our own trespasses to be forgiven?
A59435Was this loving our Enemies, or Blessing them that Curse us, or Praying for them who despitefully use us, or Persecute us?
A59435Were not more than 24 Ministers Deprived before their Majesties return came to Edenburgh?
A59435Were not the Ministers well enough secured now?
A59435Were not these English Protestants, then, united in that Society, which, at that time, was, and, ever since, hath been called The Church of England?
A59435Were they all fast asleep when they were at the Conference?
A59435Were they not easily and readily crush''t by the rest of the Nation?
A59435Were they now willing to part with the Churches Patrimony?
A59435Were they of the Modern Principles, G. R''s Principles?
A59435Were they so little careful of Acts of Parliamant, that they would not have been at pains to cite them for their purpose?
A59435Were they well enough provided now?
A59435Were those in the West, who Gathered them, the Estates?
A59435What Authors have these been, to whom such Treatment was nothing else than excessive Civility?

A59435What did the Presbytery herein that was not in pursuance of the publick Spirit of the times, and the Acts of the General Assembly?
A59435What dubious Responses did She give, all the time She Vmpir''d it, between the Queen of Scotland and those who appeared for her Son?
A59435What else could move our Author to this sinful and unseasonable silence, but the Conscience, that it was not fit to meddle with it?
A59435What footsteps of these things in true Antiquity?
A59435What greater Demonstration could any Man desire of the truth of the Negative, if all here alleged was true?
A59435What greater Evidence of Truth and Ingenuity could have been expected or required of People in such Circumstances?

A59435What impertinent Answering is this?
A59435What is become of it?
A59435What is become of this fine Argument then?
A59435What is there here like a Condemnation of Episcopal Iurisdiction?
A59435What is there here that looks like a Divine- Right- of- Parity- man?
A59435What is there here that looks like proving that the Schism was greater in the North, than was asserted by the Epistler?
A59435What is this less than that, if King and Parliament should Restore Episcopacy, they should break their Original contracts?
A59435What is this less, than to make all these Propositions Necessary terms of their Communion?
A59435What might he not have said, after this?
A59435What must it be then to be committed with the other two?
A59435What possessions have any( of the Episcopal Clergy) been deprived of, unless for Crimes against the State?

A59435What?
A59435When had it been more seasonable, than in his Admonition to the Commonalty of Scotland, published also Anno 1558?
A59435When he could do no more than oppose ane Indefinite number to the Epistlers Definite one?
A59435When shall it be proper for them to say, we have done innovating?
A59435When the Parliament is reduced to one Estate why may not that one divide and one half vote out the other?
A59435When was it more opportune for him to have expressed these sentiments, if he had had them, than when he was at Frankfort?

A61509Againe he sayeth in that same Page?
A61509Againe, what if an unjust act take away a man''s right to his heritage, shall he not be in case to defend it against robbers?
A61509Againe, what if the Magistrate shall permit Subjects to defend their Lives and Libertyes against invaders, though he should not lead the way?
A61509Anabaptists?
A61509And Since it was so, what could they do, but after the example of our progenitors, advance with armes in the one hand and a petition in the other?
A61509And as for their Underling- curats, the scumme of Mankinde, who seeth not their nakednesse?
A61509And do they not rule and domineer in the Church after their owne arbitrement?
A61509And doth not himself say that Naphtaly out stripes his Masters, even as to the most important matters of the book?

A61509And honest Ionathan rescued from the hands of his bloody Father?
A61509And how shall he be able to confute that?
A61509And how?
A61509And if Parliaments have povver to depose Princes in Scotland( as hath been often practised) hovv hath he saved the King''s Scepter and Person?
A61509And if she shall, shall not men be allowed to maintaine their Religion, though some iniquous act of Parliament take the legal right of it away?
A61509And is it not granted by all, that in mutual Covenants the observer hath a jus against the breakers?
A61509And is this all the remedy he prescribeth?
A61509And not rather to yeeld the cause?
A61509And shall not herender to every man according to his work?
A61509And shall we be allowed to use violent resistence, for the lives of our bodyes, and not also for the lives of our souls?
A61509And since he did not say so, how can this advocate make his position appeare dissonant either to Religion or Reason?
A61509And the story tells us, that he was then in Irland, when the Scots sent for him, how could he then make him self King?
A61509And vvhat have they gained then out of these places?

A61509And what is the cause of this severity, seing that all were not alike offenders?
A61509And what mischief would not wicked hearts contrive and execute, if they did not feare opposition and resistence?
A61509And where shall there be a stand?]
A61509And where would his conscientious respect to the Ordinance of God not abused, but very rightly used in that particular, be?
A61509And where?
A61509And who are these who differ from him in that poynt, whom he accounts humble meek and self denyed?
A61509And who can deny this to be a truth?
A61509And who knoweth, but, if God had thought good to blesse this late act with successe, it might have been followed with the like consequent?
A61509And why might he not?
A61509And why so?
A61509And will not this be a sufficient Apology for them to put forth some sting?]
A61509And yet so pertinent and plump that it stopped the mouth of the accusers,& filled their faces with shame: But why was it such a poor answere?
A61509Are not all these cast avvay?
A61509Are not even limited Princes, as well Fathers to the Commonwealth?
A61509Are not the tearmes condescended upon?
A61509Are not they Covetous?
A61509Are not they given to wine?
A61509Are these Prelate Bite- sheeps, rather then Bishops, blamelesse, the husbands of one wife?
A61509Are these particulars, Church Government?
A61509Are these the latitudinarian Atheists, the Gallioes, the coldrife Laôdiceans, who care not what Religion be professed?
A61509Are they Vigilant, unlesse when they have much wine to devoure, or a feast to hold to Bacchus?
A61509Are they apt to teach, who have rejected Christ and his truth, and cry up and commend Socinian brats and impoisoned books?
A61509Are they of good beheaviour, whose carriage is abhominable to all sober persons?
A61509Are they patient who are so soon sadled; are not they Brawlers?
A61509Are they sober, who glutt themselves in sensuality?
A61509Are they the militant Church, who triumph in their silks and velvets, rideing with foot mantels in Parliaments, sitting in Councils and Sessions?
A61509Be it so, what hath he gained for the King his Master?
A61509Be- like the lawes& acts which their owne lusts make, within their owne breasts; for they are the Church, the holy Clergy, and who but they?
A61509Because there was one high Priest over all the Church, must we have also one Pope?
A61509But 1. can that be subjection in its full latitude?
A61509But 1. did ever the People set a Soveraigne over themselves, upon these tearmes?
A61509But 1. would he have all the Subjects becomeing more senselesse and stupide then beasts?
A61509But 2 will these things, to judicious persons, lay the ground of a lawful warre by the Magistrate, against his owne subjects?
A61509But 2. in good earnest, let him tell us, Whether the former engagements which were upon the King at his coronation, be loosed or not?
A61509But 2. will he stand to what Calvin sayeth?
A61509But 3 when the King returned, did he make a re- conquest of us?
A61509But alas doth he think this restriction of the natural propension for felfe preservation is upon men only,& not upon Beasts also?
A61509But can he be in the composure of a Christian Spirit, who is so easily moved off it, by that which should rather settle him in it?
A61509But can he, or dar he, say that we do so?
A61509But doth not he and his party, the most proud and arrogant persones imaginable, deal with us all, as cursed fanaticks knipperdolians?
A61509But how can any see here the mysterie of Anabaptistical confusion working?
A61509But how is he absolute?
A61509But how is that?
A61509But how many were there of these Representatives?
A61509But how oft will he put us to tell him, that the best truth may be abused?
A61509But how proves he this extraordinary call?
A61509But how shall he evince that the Covenant, betwixt King& People is not a reciprocal contract of things to be done by each to other upon conditions?
A61509But is this a good argument, to prove that it is unlawful for us to resist and repel injuries offered to us by equals or inferiours?
A61509But might not that excuse be good in itself though Bellarmine made use of it?
A61509But might we not in that case defend our lives and lands?
A61509But now the question is what is the Peoples duty, in a day of defection?
A61509But that Christ did nothing but set the scriptures by the eares, is this far from blasphemy?
A61509But the Surveyer called it an errour to say that only the modus rei is commanded or forbidden, and why?
A61509But then against whom doth he fight?
A61509But these sheep, what have they done?
A61509But this is not faire dealing, yet suteable enough to him and his cause, which he can get defended no other way?
A61509But to our businesse, what sort of mutual Covenants can those be, which he here speaketh of?
A61509But to teach the people their beheaviour to the King?
A61509But to what purpose is all this stir?
A61509But vvhy did not he direct his reader unto the page vvhere such a state of the question vvas to be found?
A61509But was there no texts in all the divine Word of God, that he would put into the King''s hand to read, that he must send him to the Apocrypha?
A61509But what Church?
A61509But what are his reasons?
A61509But what can he hence inferre?
A61509But what if more learned politicians then ever he was, say, that such are most truely Kings?
A61509But what is become of the Religion of the Church of Scotland, as it was reformed in doctorine, worshipe, discipline and government?
A61509But what needed this?
A61509But what sayes all this to the thing?
A61509But what sayes he to all this?
A61509But what sayes he to that which he cals the attribute?
A61509But what sayes he?
A61509But whence is your title Mr Prelate?
A61509But where did the difficulty lye?
A61509But where dwelleth this Man?
A61509But where lay the difficulty?
A61509But wherein are they violented?
A61509But whither now doth the matter goe?
A61509But who are those?
A61509But who can beleeve this?
A61509But who will say that in this, their practice or judgment is to us a binding precedent?
A61509But why doth he call from us for any expresse command or example in Scripture for resistence of Magistrates?
A61509But why will he not follow their practices himself?
A61509But why would he grudge poor Naphtali this?
A61509But will any condemne this practice now, or think it unlawful, or unbeseeming Christians to flee from the fury of enraged persecuters?
A61509But yet how can he prove this?
A61509By what authority should any clame that power of inspection over others, and that in a most unreasonable bounds?
A61509By what medium will he couple the antecedent and consequent together?
A61509By whom I pray, shall these evils be seen to be portended, by any thing that is said in these writtings?
A61509By whom to this day was Lex Rex answered?
A61509Can his patience be good, which is so stirred by hearing of truth told?
A61509Can no single person preside over prebyters, except my Lord Prelate?
A61509Can this Surveyer affirme that passion as passion, or suffering formally as such, cometh under a command of God?
A61509Could he think that the author of Naphtaly did imagine, That to be violented in any Religion whether true or false, was such an insupportable injury?
A61509Dar he avow that he hath not broken these?
A61509Did ever People set him over themselves to rage at randon, to kill, murther, massacre, and do what seemed good in his eyes?
A61509Did ever any Arch- Prelate procure an order from his Majesty to stirr up the leazye council to diligence in this matter?
A61509Did not this text flee in his face?
A61509Did the author of Lex Rex say that it was the duty of any man indifferently, to punish capitally shedders of innocent blood?
A61509Do they think that all the limited and pactional princes, are but cyphers, or as painted men are men, so are they but painted princes?
A61509Do we say that Magistracy is not the ordinance of God?
A61509Do we say that a Christian may not exerce the office of a Magistrate?
A61509Do we say that a heathen may not be a Magistrate?
A61509Do we say that an ungodly Magistrate is no Magistrate?
A61509Doth he meane thereby a stupide and absolute submission to all acts of Tyranny and opression?
A61509Doth he think there is a noise made about this matter, and a great noise, and that without ground?
A61509Doth it not flow alone from the People?
A61509Doth not the text speak to all in reference to all?
A61509Doth not this also reach the Anabaptists conclusion?
A61509Doth the motives speak to that alone?
A61509Doth this man give a distinct sound?
A61509Doth this man know what he writeth?
A61509Doth this pove that David or any King was excepted in the Law of God?
A61509Doth this wicked Man still intende to sowe sedition, and to widen that difference?
A61509Ergo shall it concerne only Ministers?
A61509Furder he addeth,[ So the Scripture is not against an absolute Prince, as our Lawes and we understand him?]
A61509Good Master prelate tell us, or where we shall finde it in your book of wisdome?
A61509Had not Galba the like end, Otho& Vitellus, who all three reigned only Sixteen moneths?
A61509Hath this man no better arguments then thise wherewith to defend his Majestie''s Royal life and person?
A61509Have not the present Lordly Prelats, as much dominative and Lordly power, as ever they had in Scotland?
A61509He asketh the question if any of the People of the Land be spoiled of their lawful civil libertyes?
A61509He asketh what burden he hath laid upon their Estates, but by Law?
A61509He sayes that the fines were moderate?
A61509He speaketh of a flight out of the King''s dominions, but what sayes he to a flight, when the persones flying keep still within the dominions?
A61509He tells us, they rule with the consent and Counsel of Presbyters; but when?
A61509He vvould do vvell to explaine to us, vvhat he meaneth by a proper punishment, and vvhat is the opposite tearme thereunto?
A61509He will not say that every conquest will give a just title, but a lawfull conquest, now what right had Fergus to conquere these adversaries?
A61509Hovv can the impudent man alledge this of us?
A61509Hovv is it then that he sayes there is nothing but old songs chanted over and over againe?
A61509Hovv salves he his Majestie''s life, or the King from all hazard of censure?
A61509Hovv vvill he shovv that this doctrine tends to horrid confusion?
A61509How can he prove that this was such a Covenant?
A61509How can he, or any else then, say that the King was not the first aggressor, or that Scotlands warre was not purely defensive?
A61509How could young children be accessory, either by consent or any otherwayes to these courses of Manasseh?
A61509How did God animate Ieh ● jada and these vvith him, to depose and kill Athaliah?
A61509How doth he prove either the consequence or the consequent?
A61509How doth he prove that it was meerly upon the extraordinarynesse of the occasion that this Covenant was made?
A61509How doth our doctrine open a perpetual gap to seditions?
A61509How doth this master of disorder blow avvay these figleaves, yea or discover them to be such?
A61509How or what way was his authority invaded?
A61509How shall he prove this?
A61509How then can he say that this axiome is rather to be understood of the Prince alone, then of the People alone?
A61509How then shall he defend the sacred person and life of the King?
A61509How then shall the case be alike, And the one be no more conditional then the other?
A61509How then shall their meer example be obligeing in the other practice?
A61509How was Athaltah judged?
A61509How will he prove that passive obedience is here spoken to at all; since all the particulars mentioned are actions, and dutyes of action?
A61509How will he then free himself from treason?
A61509I am not ignorant That this law was not put into execution, as God commanded; but what did thereof ensue and follow?
A61509I vvonder vvhere vvas the devils vvit that he had not this reply to make unto Christ''s ansvver, vvhich this Surveyer here maketh?
A61509If a Magistrate abuseing his power to the destruction of the Subjects, should be resisted, what inconvenience would follow thereupon?
A61509If any aske what he hath left undone for secueing his Majestie''s person and life?
A61509If he may not, then why is this parenthesis added, As a restriction or limitation of the Subjection required?
A61509If his anoynting made him no private person, what did it make him?
A61509If in this case he would allow a resistence, where is the force of his argument then?
A61509If not, have not we enough?
A61509If not, how doth this passive submission fall under a moral law?
A61509If not, why did he trouble himself with this?
A61509If so( as all who know him will veryly belveeve he would) where would then this submission be which is due unto the Magistrate?
A61509If such a fact were done in the like case, would any think that the person should be challenged and not rather approved by the Magistrate?
A61509If there be no ground more for this then for others, vvhy may not we put in our exception, as well as our adversary putteth in his?
A61509If they be the corne grinded betwixt two milstones, where is the professedly profane, and atheistical world which trouble them?
A61509If this be not his designe, let him tell me, what he would have Christians doing, in case such a thing as this should be?
A61509If those betray their trust committed to them, they may be resisted?
A61509If through default of Ministers of State, any thing had creeped in, that could not abide the test of law, how willingly was ● treformed?
A61509Is he ignorant of the original of that sad contest?
A61509Is he not able to understand this, how one who is supreme, in one respect, may be inferiour, in another respect?
A61509Is he not willing and desirous that the lawes be vigorously executed against papists, and all perverters of this sound doctrine?
A61509Is he one of those who see and perceive not, who know and yet carry as if they knew not?
A61509Is it enough to say so?
A61509Is it not possible( as hath been said) yea and often seen, that the most cleare and approved examples have been abused?
A61509Is it our work to exclude faithful ministers from the esteem of Gods people?
A61509Is not this a singularly satisfactory way of answereing?
A61509Is not this a very hungry empty man, to beg( when he can not better do) the very thing in quaestion?
A61509Is not this depredation committed by wicked subjects?
A61509Is not this equivalent to incursions of forraigne adversaryes?
A61509Is that they work division in the Church of God; and move people to forsake Church meetings, and to follow them in private conventicles?
A61509Is the guilty person bound by any moral law, to suffer death or whipping, if the Magistrate will not execute the sentence upon him?
A61509Is the power of the present Lordly Lord Prelates paternal?
A61509Is there any exception in the text?
A61509Is there not here a mutual Convenant, wherein each party is bound to other?
A61509Is there not here impious and horrible acts of tyranny?
A61509Is this a faire way of disputing, to say that one maketh that the state of the question, which he draweth from the assertion of his adverry?
A61509Is this all that he can say, to prove that this is contrary to Religion?
A61509Is this the liberty he understandeth?
A61509Is this the only thing which he denyeth?
A61509Is this the vvay he takes to salve his Master''s life?
A61509Is this to answere his adversary?
A61509It is granted, what then?
A61509It is strange hovv this corrupt fountaine, as he calleth it else vvhere, Lex Rex can send out good and svveet vvaters?
A61509It is true he sayeth that subjection may be, vvhere there is not obedience, but wherein sayeth he doth this subjection consist?
A61509King cast into prison?
A61509Let our Master Bishope with all his gifts, learning, and knowledge shew this if he can?
A61509Let us hear hovv he doth it?
A61509Let us hear how he applyeth this to the purpose?
A61509Let us hear how?
A61509Let your eyes be in your head: Hold fast what ye have, that no man take your crowne?
A61509May he Rule as he lifts?
A61509May he not, dar he not, grieve or vex his Elder Brethren?
A61509May not I resist, a person, vvho is not under my jurisdiction?
A61509May not then this Man be ashamed to take his Majesties Money, and do so bad service for it, as he hath done?
A61509Meum and tuum?
A61509Must either he be the supreme power on earth which is not judgeable or punishable by any, or must there be none?
A61509Must that example of theirs perpetually oblige us now?
A61509No man needs to say who shall be judge, The Magistrates or the people?
A61509Now can any body deny this consequence?
A61509Now how will he loose his owne argument?
A61509Now let the Surveyer tels us what he thinks of their practice?
A61509Now sure I am this fact of Phineas was according to the law, and to the expresse minde of God, and why then might it not be imitated in the like case?
A61509Now what bonde more strong to unite and keep together his Majestie''s Dominions can the wit of Man imagine?
A61509Now whence floweth this diversity of wayes of instaling the succeeding Magistrate, or of filling the place when vacant?
A61509Now will the Surveyer say, that in no case, it is lawful to resist even by force, the inferiour Magistrates?
A61509Now, whence ariseth this formal obligation, if not from the Covenant?
A61509O ye Men of judgment consolidated into a stone, having no conscience, and far lesse piety?
A61509Or are all presidents or moderators of presbyteries Prelates?
A61509Or can he arrive at no more certanety, but of a may be that it is not causeless?
A61509Or did he ever chide the Council, or depose any member thereof, or any other inferiour Magistrate, upon the account of their negligence in this?
A61509Or doth Naphtaly say any such thing?
A61509Or doth he think that his taking notice of him, will make him esteem the more highly of himself?
A61509Or doth the same passive obedience to powers punishing unjustly fall under the moral law?
A61509Or hath the King no better advocate to defend his cause?
A61509Or how could they expect that he should prove a fit meane for these Ends?
A61509Or if he should suffer them to sit, what can they do?
A61509Or is every one in that case bound to deliver up himself to the Magistrate,& accuse himself, and pursue the accusation until the sentence be executed?
A61509Or is not the constitution freeing the King from coaction of Law( for that end) warrantable?]
A61509Or that it was his minde to plead for an universal toleration?
A61509Or thought he that they would have the weight of gold coming from his Mouth, while they had not the weight of stuble being uttered by his collegue?
A61509Or were these all accounted Enemies to the King?
A61509Or who gave you than name?
A61509Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes?
A61509Sayeth Lex Rex that vve are to suffer absolutely all the evil of punishment, vvhich they vvould inflict upon us?
A61509Seing he wisheth that such errours might be buryed in oblivion, why did not his vvork follovv his vvish?
A61509Shall it not be defended even when it becometh a Law right, against forreigners, but under the protection of the Magistrates?
A61509Sure they must be step Fathers then, and that of the cruelest kinde?
A61509That he can not dispense, by his prerogative Royal, with a just Law, according to his sole pleasure, and so pardon such as deserve death?
A61509That subjects are bound to obey, and to sweare allegiance in the Lord unto wicked Kings who denyeth?
A61509That the King ruleth over us novv jure conquestus?
A61509The 2. thing he sayeth, is, That though this obligation be mutual, yet is it not conditional, and how proves he this?
A61509The King your God Father?
A61509The Kings of the gentiles,& c. Any otherwayes then against superiority among Church men?
A61509The Royalists themselves allow it lawful for any privat person to kill an usurper or a Tyrant sine titulo, and why?
A61509The controversy rests not in matters touching a Bishope or a Presbytery: But what thinks he of this controversy?
A61509The surveyer sayeth, He is insolent in saying so: Why so?
A61509Then he must tell us that the book vvants nothing of the compleatnesse of an infamous lybel, and why?
A61509Then they vvho are our enemies shall see it; and shame shall cover them who said unto us, where is the Lord your God?
A61509They the Church, who have banished Christ out of the Church, abjured his interests, persecuted to the death his brethren and followers?
A61509Thinks he that there is no mixed Monarchy?
A61509This Chimaerical Man gives us a distinction of Kings, some truely so and some falsly so: And what, and who are these?
A61509This Man dictats but what proveth he?
A61509This is good, but what then?
A61509This is granted: But how showeth he that the exposition given, is contrary to either?
A61509This is true, but what will he hence prove?
A61509This, sayes the Surveyer, is as vaine a quirck How so?
A61509Thus I have set down his words, truely and wholly, and I would faine know what is there here, that will ground the foresaid thesis?
A61509To what purpose is their example adduced?
A61509To what purpose then are Covenants and compacts made, If by vertue of these, each party be not formally obliged unto other?
A61509To whom is this evident?
A61509To wit, that they should resist none out of a Spirit of private revenge?
A61509Was he therefore the Lord Prelate?
A61509Was it not because the Governours had a minde to punish him?
A61509Was it their practice to abjure a lawful Covenant sworne for the maintainance of the Truth?
A61509Was it their practice to change their Religion with the court?
A61509Was it their practice to renunce their former profession, and turne Apostates from the truth, which once they avowed?
A61509Was it their practice to turne their back on Christ and his interest, for the will of creatures, and for a mease of pottage?
A61509Was not Aberdeen fortifying it self, to take in the King''s navy of shipes, when it should come?
A61509Was not Culenus summoned to compeare before a Parliament at Scone?
A61509Was not Dardan, for his wickednesse and blood, pursued by nobles and People, his head cut off, his corps throwne into a jacks?
A61509Was not David helped thus against the Tyranny and wickednesse of King Saul?
A61509Was not Even the 3. put in prison?
A61509Was not free tradeing taken away?
A61509Was not the Deputy of Ireland prepareing men to land them in the West of Scotland?
A61509Was not the Earle of Arundale made the Kings General?
A61509Was not the Earle of Huntly made Governour of the North of Scotland, and had some foure or five thousand men in armes, for the King?
A61509Was not the Marquis of Douglas,& Lord Haris ready to rise with the Papists in the South of Scotland?
A61509Was not warre concluded both by sea and land?
A61509Was that the maine thing controverted then?
A61509Was there any masse monger fined to this day?
A61509Was there no blushing?
A61509Was there no conviction?
A61509Weknow no lawes, but acts and statutes of a lawful Parliament, made for the glory of God, and the good of the land: and what such were trode upon?
A61509Well, what way doth he clear this, of Lex Rex?
A61509Were all these things no beginnings of a warre, nor no acts of hostility?
A61509Were it the rational act of rational creatures to set up Soveraignes upon these tearmes?
A61509Were not Berwik and Carlile frontier cities strongly fortifyed and garrisoned?
A61509Were not the Scottish Nobility at court made to abjure the National Covenant, and the General Assembly at Glasgow?
A61509Were there no Papists in Scotland, or was there no appearance of the approaching of the Roman Antichrist before these books came abroad?
A61509Were they not beaten, wounded, and bound as beasts, their goods and substance devoured before their eyes?
A61509What a Spirit, I pray, is that which is in these books, which can give any cause of feare, that the Roman Antichrist may come in upon that account?
A61509What a fool is he to put Tennants and Vassals together?
A61509What a non- sensical contradictory conclusion, should this be?
A61509What a poor Politician is this?
A61509What abs ● ● dity inn reason is here?
A61509What accession had the children unborne to the third and fourth generation, unto the sinnes of their forefathers?
A61509What acts of the Church are these which regulate them?
A61509What are the men with the Episcopal inspection doing?
A61509What are these cunning leaders which he sayes had dominion over their faith?
A61509What are these manifest unchristian dealings of his?
A61509What better is this out of your Mouth, then it was out of old Bishop Hall''● the Remonstrator, and confuted by Smectymnuus?
A61509What can he make of this?
A61509What church discipline is used against these?
A61509What commission from Man authorized by God had the high Priest, and such as joyned vvith him, vvhen they deposed and killed Athaliah?
A61509What did he for our restauration?
A61509What displeaseth him then?
A61509What furder?
A61509What further?
A61509What ground had he for so thinking?
A61509What height of absurdity were here?
A61509What hight of absurdity were this?
A61509What if he deviate?
A61509What if the Magistrate or his Emissaryes proceed not according to law?
A61509What illegal courts were those which were set up?
A61509What impudency is this then to say, the King was not the first invader of the Nation?
A61509What is become of these Covenants vvhich were our strong bulvvarks against propery?
A61509What is he and his fraternity doing to day?
A61509What lawes were troden upon?
A61509What makes all this for the encroachment of meer private persons upon the use of the Magistrates avenging sword?]
A61509What meaneth he else by this impunity of divine exemption?
A61509What more force hath his denyall then ours?
A61509What more sayes he to this place of Scripture?
A61509What now fayeth the Railing pamphleter?
A61509What one thing hath he done without consent of the Peoples Representatives in Parliament, at which any may except as a grievance?
A61509What rational Man ever said so?
A61509What sayes he further?
A61509What sayes he more?
A61509What sayes he next to this?
A61509What sayeth he further?
A61509What sayeth our Surveyer to this?
A61509What shall we then say of his inspection?
A61509What sharpe sighted man can be able to see where these two shall meet?
A61509What sots were the Priests& Prophets at that time that did not instigate the Sanhedrin?
A61509What sound Divine putteth this brutish subjection among the ancient land marks?
A61509What tendency, I pray, hath any thing that is asserted in these books, to the introduceing of Popery?
A61509What that liberty is, which the people of Scotland are now come to, who can see it, for the perfect slavery and bondage they are sold unto?
A61509What then doth this testimony make against thus?
A61509What was his debauched conscience doing?
A61509What was the tentation which made them stand fast?
A61509What was there more on this hand?
A61509What was this impudent man''s brazen face doing while he wrote downe this passage?
A61509What way were his proclamations despised?
A61509What were those castles seised upon?
A61509What wil not such shamelesse boldnesse adventure to averre, with the greatest confidence?
A61509What will He do?
A61509What will he say to this?
A61509What wonder then that there was no general opposition made against these Arrian Emperours, when their Subjects imbraced the same delusion?
A61509What would he then do with his pretences?
A61509What?
A61509Whence will Royalists then prove, that privaate persons may kill a Tyrant without title?
A61509Where he shewed out of History and by reason, that Palladius was the first prelate that ever Scotland saw?
A61509Where is the position that is so dissonent to Religion and Reason?
A61509Where is then our legall security for our protestant Religion, and Libertyes of the Church?
A61509Where or when said Naphtaly, That that was the fundamental Constitution of politick societies?
A61509Where, In what chapter, or what verse shall we finde this?
A61509Whether may the Superiour be resisted by the inferiour, when he doth what is not incumbent to him to do within his sphaere, or not?
A61509Who are over them as Superiours?
A61509Who but Atheists will say this?
A61509Who but such, as either think they have no soulls, more then beasts, or know not the worth of their souls, will deny this consequence?
A61509Who is to controle them, unlesse the good King but a gentle curb in some or their jawes to make way for greater rage and Tyranny?
A61509Who may not now see what a poor ground this Railer had, to father such a tenet on Naphtali, as he doth?
A61509Who seeth not what perverting of truth is here?
A61509Who then can condemne even privat persons if they stand to their defence in this case?
A61509Who would not pity this man who is put off the constant composure of a Christian Spirit?
A61509Who would suffer such a manifest notorius lyar to say, that others made misrepresentations of matters of fact?
A61509Why calleth ● e the Nobles and Parliaments to hearken to this?
A61509Why did he dig up the untruths( if such) againe, when he was not able to bury them dead nor alive?
A61509Why did not the Surveyer set dovvn his vvords?
A61509Why did not this pigmay set himself upon their shoulders that he might have seemed something?
A61509Why doth he it not then?
A61509Why have yee transgressed the commandements of the Eternal God?
A61509Why jeers he at that worthy Author, saying he thinks he speaks acutely?
A61509Why not in lesse evils too?
A61509Why so?
A61509Why then did you chant over the old song againe, to make yourselfe but ridiculous?
A61509Why then doth he adduce such Instances so impertinent?
A61509Why then is he offended vvith Lex Rex?
A61509Why vvill not the Surveyer take notice of this& grant so much in our case?
A61509Why would he not examine other things which that worthy Author sayd, more apposite to the cause?
A61509Wil he proclame himself a fool of the first magnitude in so doing?
A61509Will any deny this but ingrained Atheistical Malignants, whose chief character hitherto hath been, to preferre man''s interest unto Christs?
A61509Will any say that Every Christian is bound and obliged to do so now?
A61509Will he allow it in that case?
A61509Will he also owne it?
A61509Will he ask now if our libertyes be taken from us?
A61509Will he deny this consequence?
A61509Will he find such commendations of tyranny, oppression, bondage and siavery, as if it vvere nothing but the compound of justice and equity?
A61509Will he grant that this is liker unto a resistence?
A61509Will he say that all these instances were extraordinary and not imitable?
A61509Will he say that no actions can be sufficiently justified because done in extraordinary necessities and vvithout an extraordinary call?
A61509Will his adversary take that for an answere?
A61509Will it hence follow that we must obey all the Kings unjust, unlawful and iniquous commands?
A61509Will the Surveyer account these instances alike extraordinary and unimitable?
A61509With what face then can be draw a parallel here?
A61509Witnesse this pamphleting prelate?
A61509Would he have them resisting, or only holding up their throats to the bloody executioners?
A61509Would rational men give themselves up for a prey to one, that they might be saife from becoming a prey to others?
A61509Would these scar his tender conscience?
A61509Yea if this were received as a truth, what incouragement were it to tyranny and oppression?
A61509Yea, had it not been the part of every man, to have studyed to have keeped the possession which he had received?
A61509Yea, how can he prove that there is any such Covenant among men; or how can he explaine such a Covenant?
A61509[ And the Lord said unto Iosua, Get thee up, wherefore lyest thou thus upon thy face?
A61509[ But what sayes this to Phine as his fact?
A61509[ Who ever head of this( sayes he) that one Parliament posteriour should punish the prior?
A61509[ Why is not also sufficient for the office of the Ministery without a call from men externally?]
A61509],[ London?]
A61509and doth he think, that such as feare not God can ever fear the King aright?
A61509and had he not their concurrence?
A61509and how unable is the case now to beare the burthen of a conclusion for such practices as then were used?]
A61509and if he had wanted this, and had thought that Scotland would have been an adversary unto his designe, would he or dursl he have attempted it?
A61509and if he should have the upper hand in the matter of resistence, could he not sit dovvn satisfied?
