| 15251 | Ministers of Christ, does not the Lord call upon us especially? |
| 15251 | Must not the disease be dangerous, when a tender- hearted surgeon cuts deep into the flesh? |
| 15251 | Must there not be somewhat of this missionary tendency in all true ministers? |
| 15251 | Now, do you think it would not give you more happiness to be forgiven,--to be able to put on Jesus, and say,''God''s anger is turned away?'' |
| 15251 | Often, however, did the faithful pastor mingle his tears with those of his younger fellow- soldier, complaining,"Lord, who hath believed our report?" |
| 15251 | Often, too, did he say to me, when thus stretched on the ground,--not impatiently, but very earnestly,--"Shall I ever preach to my people again?" |
| 15251 | Oh, why should I not weep, as Jesus did over Jerusalem? |
| 15251 | On hearing this awful test, he asked,"Were you able to preach it_ with tenderness_?" |
| 15251 | Quare? |
| 15251 | Shall I call the liveliness of this day a gale of the Spirit, or was all natural? |
| 15251 | She said,''But am I in Christ?'' |
| 15251 | Should I be less careful in washing my soul? |
| 15251 | Should it not be to all ministers a time for solemn inquiry? |
| 15251 | Should not we love the spots where our great Captain has won his amazing victories? |
| 15251 | Should we not mourn as for an only child? |
| 15251 | Should we not study prayer more?" |
| 15251 | Some of you will ask,''Is there no_ appropriating_ of Christ? |
| 15251 | The cities are changed,--where are they? |
| 15251 | The hand of man had been actively employed upon every mountain, but where were these laborers now? |
| 15251 | Then, why do I not show it more where I am? |
| 15251 | They knew him not-- They could not know; And even though, Why should they shed Above the dead Who slumbers here A single tear? |
| 15251 | This deepens and solemnizes all, and makes you go away, saying,''How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?''" |
| 15251 | Tuesday the 5th being the anniversary of his licence to preach the gospel, he writes:"Eventful week; one year I have preached_ Jesus_, have I? |
| 15251 | Was I faithful with this soul? |
| 15251 | What can I desire more? |
| 15251 | What did this mean? |
| 15251 | What if we should see the heavenly Jerusalem before the earthly? |
| 15251 | What plant can be unwatered and not wither?" |
| 15251 | What right have I to steal and abuse my Master''s time? |
| 15251 | What shall the unsaved among you do in the day of the Lord''s anger?" |
| 15251 | What should I fear? |
| 15251 | What though to fashion''s garish eye they seem Untutored and ungainly? |
| 15251 | When shall this self- choosing temper be healed? |
| 15251 | When the question was put to him,"Is it our duty to refuse ordination to any one who holds the views of Erastianism?" |
| 15251 | When the tears that we shed were the tears of our joy, And the pleasures of home were unmixed with alloy? |
| 15251 | Who can tell what wars go on within? |
| 15251 | Who is there of us that should ever feel otherwise? |
| 15251 | Who is there that does not see the deep design of Satan in seeking to effect an inroad on this most merciful appointment of God our Saviour? |
| 15251 | Who will be the first victim here? |
| 15251 | Who would not rise early to meet such company? |
| 15251 | Why dost Thou behold our sadness? |
| 15251 | Why is He restrained? |
| 15251 | Why is a missionary life so often an object of my thoughts? |
| 15251 | Why should I give hours and days any longer to the vain world, when there is such a world of misery at my very door? |
| 15251 | Why should not selfishness be buried beneath the Atlantic in matters so sacred?" |
| 15251 | Why would I so much rather go to the East than to the West Indies? |
| 15251 | Why? |
| 15251 | Will God never cast the scenes of our labor near each other? |
| 15251 | Will the Sun of Righteousness ever rise upon it, making its hills and valleys bright with the light of the knowledge of Jesus?" |
| 15251 | Would not you be happier at work, and happier in the house, and happier in your bed? |
| 15251 | Would this make you less happy, do you think? |
| 15251 | Would you be ready to give your Jewish lecture on the evening of Sabbath week?... |
| 15251 | Yet why should I doubt? |
| 15251 | Yet why should we murmur, short- sighted and vain, Since death to that loved one was undying gain? |
| 15251 | _ Neff_ died in his thirty- first year; when shall I? |
| 15251 | and have I not a spark of true missionary zeal? |
| 15251 | and that the wise, considerate, loving Master, who said,"Come into a desert place and rest awhile,"is as loving, considerate, and wise as He was then? |
| 15251 | asked him if He would be his Saviour? |
| 15251 | evangelists? |
| 15251 | fellow- workers with God? |
| 15251 | heralds of His Son? |
| 15251 | men set apart to the work, chosen out of the chosen, as it were the very pick of the flocks, who are to shine as the stars forever and ever? |
| 15251 | my soul, where shall thou appear? |
| 15251 | no touching the hem of his garment?'' |
| 15251 | no_ putting out the hand of faith_? |
| 15251 | or can it really be a movement of his kind, guiding hand? |
| 15251 | or myself? |
| 15251 | shall we grieve that he left this poor scene, To dwell in the realms that are ever serene? |
| 15251 | when shall we have them here? |
| 15251 | where from the winds Shall the vessel fly? |
| 15251 | where is the harp that was strung to thy praise, So oft and so sweetly in happier days? |
| 15251 | why am I such a stranger to the poor of my native town? |
| 15251 | why not always this? |
| 28272 | _ A._ What is the thing ye call authority? 28272 _ Q._ Is Bothwel- bridge rebellion? |
| 28272 | _ Q._ Is the bishop''s death murder? 28272 _ Q._ Will ye take the bond never to rise against the king and his authority? |
| 28272 | _ Quest._ Will ye rise in rebellion against the king? 28272 ***** Oliphant_ began his Interrogations as follows_:_ Olip._ Thou sayest there are not seven sacraments? 28272 --They urged, Could he deny him to be king? 28272 A short hint of it I shall here subjoin as follows:He asked after my welfare; and if I was going out of the prison? |
| 28272 | Aberdeen asked him, Whether he would obey the king or not? |
| 28272 | About or after this, he went up to a hill and prayed; and being interrogated by some acquaintances, What answer he got? |
| 28272 | After prayer, he asked, if he was prepared for death? |
| 28272 | After prayer, the minister cried in his ear,"My lord, may you now sunder with Christ?" |
| 28272 | After sermon, several persons came to visit him; one asked him( upon perceiving his breathing shortened), If he had any pain? |
| 28272 | After this he said,"I bless God, that I have all my senses entire, but my heart is in heaven, and, Lord Jesus, why shouldst not thou have it? |
| 28272 | Afterward, when the duke asked his man, What he was like? |
| 28272 | Another answered, He had taken the coronation oath.--At which Mr. Hamilton asked, What religion was established when that oath was taken? |
| 28272 | Another time his mother asked him, How he was? |
| 28272 | Are ye clear to join with Argyle? |
| 28272 | Are you that Mr. James Mitchel who was excepted out of the king''s grace and favour? |
| 28272 | As he passed them, turning to another way on the right hand, one of them asked him, Sir, What- o- clock is it? |
| 28272 | At Lanerk, when tying Mr. Cargil''s feet hard below the horse''s belly, Mr. Cargil said,"Why do you tie me so hard? |
| 28272 | Being asked by some friends, what was the reason? |
| 28272 | Being asked if he had been sleeping? |
| 28272 | Being asked, What he thought of the world? |
| 28272 | Being asked, what he thought God would do with the remnant behind him? |
| 28272 | Being called upon( the king being present) and his libel read and answered, the king among other things said,"What moved you to protest?" |
| 28272 | Being interrogate, If the king''s falling from the covenant looses him from his obedience, and if the king thereby loses his authority? |
| 28272 | Bishop Paterson asked,"If ever Pilate and that judicature, who were direct enemies to Christ, were disowned by him as judges?" |
| 28272 | But George Jackson, martyr, coming there, he asked, if that was his fashion? |
| 28272 | But being asked again, If he would own them and their government, live peaceably, and not rise against them? |
| 28272 | But do ye approve of what was done there? |
| 28272 | But weep not: Why? |
| 28272 | But what shall I say to it? |
| 28272 | But what then? |
| 28272 | But when we came near the town, he called me out from the rest, and soberly asked me, What he should say to the superior officers in my behalf? |
| 28272 | But wherefore ask we? |
| 28272 | But, says he, Did you not see all Colington on fire? |
| 28272 | By the way one demanded,"Whither with the man, my lord?" |
| 28272 | Can love and kindness stand only on your side? |
| 28272 | Can there be a more discouraging time than this? |
| 28272 | Did the ministers of the place meet with them in these? |
| 28272 | Do you know me? |
| 28272 | Even his best saints, Job, David, Jeremiah,& c. were under desertions.--My lord said, But what are these examples to me? |
| 28272 | Further they asked if he owned the note- book and the two sermons written therein, and that he had preached them? |
| 28272 | Had he not reason rather to be glad At death''s approach, that life he never had Must meet him there? |
| 28272 | Had the late king any children lawfully begotten? |
| 28272 | Have not I the queen at my devotion? |
| 28272 | He asked me,_ 1st_, If I was at that conventicle? |
| 28272 | He asked, What his text was, and what he said? |
| 28272 | He asked, at what time? |
| 28272 | He had but gone a little till he met a brisk strong fellow riding with a drawn sword in his hand, who asked, Which way he came? |
| 28272 | He next asked, what he got at the assembly for selling the liberties of the church? |
| 28272 | He said, He had taken more oaths already than he had well kept, and if there should come a change of government, where stood he then? |
| 28272 | He said, lay by these: but what is the reason you will not hear others? |
| 28272 | He that commanded them, scoffingly asked me, What I thought of my self now? |
| 28272 | He then asked, If they were all willing to fight? |
| 28272 | Hereupon the sub- prior went to the bishops, and asked, If they would permit the sacrament to be given to the prisoner? |
| 28272 | His brother''s wife said, Where are you going, the enemy will be here? |
| 28272 | His last preaching was from the last words of Hosea,_ Who is wise? |
| 28272 | His last words were these,"Lord, open the gates that I may enter in,"and a little after his father asked, What he was doing? |
| 28272 | Hog, finding its weight, understood it was money, and said to the stranger, Upon what account, Sir, do you give me this money? |
| 28272 | How dear was heaven bought for you by Jesus Christ? |
| 28272 | How long will thou suffer this tyranny of men?" |
| 28272 | I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance;"but what kind of sinners? |
| 28272 | I was brought out of the yard, Oct. 25th, with a guard of soldiers; when coming out, one Mr. White asked, if I would take the bond? |
| 28272 | If he would own the authority of K. William and Q. Mary? |
| 28272 | If kneeling at the Lord''s table was not indifferent? |
| 28272 | In the morning they asked him again, Why he rose in the night, and what was the cause of such sorrow? |
| 28272 | Is it not a dark and melancholy day? |
| 28272 | Is it possible that Jesus Christ can lose his grip of me? |
| 28272 | Is it so small a thing to have the sword? |
| 28272 | Is it wisdom to bring back upon us the Canterburian times, the same designs, the same practices? |
| 28272 | Is not France my friend? |
| 28272 | Is the Lord governor mine? |
| 28272 | Is there no hope of mercy?" |
| 28272 | John asked, Where the testimony should be then? |
| 28272 | Lord Linlithgow justice- general asked, If he desired longer time? |
| 28272 | Mr. Blair saying, Shall I praise the Lord for all the mercies he has done and is to do for you? |
| 28272 | Mr. Guthrie asked him, What reason he had for so doing? |
| 28272 | Mr. Hamilton asked, If it was Mr. Cargil''s work? |
| 28272 | Mr. Peden, sitting next the landlord, said, Do you not see? |
| 28272 | Mr. Shields, being first in his way, replied, What king do you mean? |
| 28272 | Next they moved the question, If he owned he had taught his hearers to come armed to their meetings, and in case of opposition to resist? |
| 28272 | Nor,_ 2ndly_, Is the collecting or recording such exemplary instances without precept or precedent? |
| 28272 | Not against the gospel, but against preaching rebellion-- The chancellor asked, if he kept conventicles in Fife? |
| 28272 | Num sensum, cultumque Dei tenet Anglia clausum, Lumine cæca suo, sorde sepulta suo? |
| 28272 | O will ye love him, sirs? |
| 28272 | O, said the friar, does the minister pray any? |
| 28272 | On the 19th he was again brought before them and interrogate, If he owned the Sanquhar declaration? |
| 28272 | One asked him, if he was never afraid of hell? |
| 28272 | One of the questions asked at him, was, If he thought the king''s power was limited? |
| 28272 | One of them was, Have you taken the covenant? |
| 28272 | One time his judicious servant, hearing the heavy moans he made, asked, Whether it was soul or bodily pain that extorted such heavy groans from him? |
| 28272 | One time when reading these sermons, they supposed him to be sleeping, and asked him, If he heard what was read? |
| 28272 | Opening his eyes after a long sleep, one of his sons asked how he did? |
| 28272 | So he went out, and in a little returned with the provost, who thought to surplant him by asking, who of Stirling folk was there? |
| 28272 | The bishop asked him, Think you none can be saved but those of your principles? |
| 28272 | The chancellor asked, if he had excommunicated the king, or was at Torwood? |
| 28272 | The king, in particular, asked Mr. Melvil, whether a few clergy, meeting without moderator or clerk, could make an assembly? |
| 28272 | The minister asked him,"My lord, dare you now quit your part in Christ, and subscribe an absolute resignation of him?" |
| 28272 | The minister said,"My lord, scarcely or never doth a cast- a- way anxiously and carefully ask the question, Whether he be a child of God or not?" |
| 28272 | The next day he would rise out of bed, being asked, what he intended by getting out of bed? |
| 28272 | The next question was, If he owned and had taught it to be unlawful to pay cesses and taxations to his majesty? |
| 28272 | Then he asked his name, trade, and his father''s name, and where they dwelt? |
| 28272 | Then he asked, What is Christ like, that I may know him? |
| 28272 | Then he said, I have one word more to say to my friends( looking down to the scaffold), Where are ye? |
| 28272 | Then he said, What are these who are of this little flock? |
| 28272 | Then one of them said, Ye will have no king but Mr. James Renwick; and asked, If I conversed with any other minister upon the field than Mr. Renwick? |
| 28272 | Then the country man asked him, what entertainment he had? |
| 28272 | There are two words here, seeking and saving; and who are these? |
| 28272 | They asked, if I would take the bond? |
| 28272 | They heard a noise, and were much amazed, saying one to another, What may that mean? |
| 28272 | They said, Should we give a rebellious knave, like you, your liberty? |
| 28272 | They then went to prayer, after which Dr. Preston asked him, If he heard the prayer? |
| 28272 | This said, Mr. Row got off, and overtaking Mr. Melvil, asked him, what had passed? |
| 28272 | Upon Mr. Wishart''s approach, he looked sternly upon the priest, asking him, What he intended to do? |
| 28272 | Upon his opening the door Mr. Hutcheson said, What cheer, my lord? |
| 28272 | Upon which Lauder( repeating the several titles of the cardinal) asked him,"If my lord cardinal was not an equitable judge?" |
| 28272 | Was he not the late king''s brother? |
| 28272 | Was this good advice, or will it thrive? |
| 28272 | Were there any such meetings at that time? |
| 28272 | What did ye in your meetings? |
| 28272 | What hast thou, O man, but what thou hast received? |
| 28272 | What if popery should come to the land, should we bind ourselves never to defend the true religion? |
| 28272 | What is that to you though he be popish, he is not bidding you be a papist, nor hindring you to live in your own religion? |
| 28272 | What is your reason? |
| 28272 | What mean you by your general meeting, and what do you do at them? |
| 28272 | What might Edinburgh and adjacent places, where, after his ejection, he lived and laboured? |
| 28272 | What might Rotterdam say, where, from the year 1679, till towards his end, he was a most bright and shining light? |
| 28272 | What was his opinion anent toleration? |
| 28272 | What was his opinion concerning the government of the church? |
| 28272 | What was his opinion of monarchical government? |
| 28272 | When Mr. Livingston asked the professor, What were his thoughts of the present affairs, and how it was with himself? |
| 28272 | When before the council, he was asked, If he owned the king''s authority,& c.? |
| 28272 | When he returned, the laird said, Why did you go? |
| 28272 | When it was ended, he said,"Is not that a comfortable chapter?" |
| 28272 | When the duke came to the king, the king asked him why he brought not the minister with him; and why he did not interrupt him? |
| 28272 | Where keep ye these meetings? |
| 28272 | Whether he had asserted presbyterial government to be_ jure divino_? |
| 28272 | Whether he had asserted, that suffering for it was suffering for righteousness- sake? |
| 28272 | Whether he thought that no Christian might serve in the ecclesiastical ministration, according to the laws and rites of the realm of England? |
| 28272 | Whether in his prayers against Popery, he had joined Prelacy with it? |
| 28272 | While he insisted, one of the dragoons said, The devil ding your back in twa: have ye a coach and six for her and the children? |
| 28272 | While his servant was putting on his spurs, one of the soldiers damned him, saying, was he putting a spur on a prisoner? |
| 28272 | While on his death- bed one of his brethren came to visit him, and asking how it was with him now? |
| 28272 | Why call ye them fellowship and society- meetings? |
| 28272 | Why do ye not own the king''s authority( naming several passages of scripture, and that in the 23d chapter of the confession)? |
| 28272 | Why he refused the benefice provided for him at London? |
| 28272 | Will they not bring on the same effects, whatever fools dream?" |
| 28272 | Will ye own the king''s authority? |
| 28272 | Yet before his expiration, he was apprehensive of its approach: Calling to him a friend, he asked, What freedom he found in prayer for him? |
| 28272 | [ 44] The epigram is as follows, Cur stant clausi Anglis libri duo, regia in arca, Lumina cæca duo, pollubra sicca duo? |
| 28272 | _ 2dly_, How many armed were there? |
| 28272 | _ 3dly_, Where away went they,& c.? |
| 28272 | _ 4thly_, Do you own the king? |
| 28272 | _ 5thly_, Will ye own the duke of York as king? |
| 28272 | _ 6thly_, Was you clear to join with Argyle? |
| 28272 | _ Can a woman forget_,& c.? |
| 28272 | _ Hath the Lord said it_, hath the Lord sworn it? |
| 28272 | _ Olip._ Thou deniest the sacrament of the altar to be the real body of Christ in flesh and blood? |
| 28272 | _ Oliph._ How sayest thou that the mass is idolatry? |
| 28272 | _ Oliph._ Thou deniest the office of a bishop? |
| 28272 | _ Oliph._ Thou speakest against pilgrimage, and sayest, It is a pilgrimage to whoredom? |
| 28272 | _ Oliph._ What think you of a priest''s marriage? |
| 28272 | _ Oliph._ You preach privately in houses, and sometimes in the field? |
| 28272 | _ Q._ Did you go out of town with captain Arnot? |
| 28272 | _ Q._ Were you at Ayr, and did you join with the rebels there? |
| 28272 | _ Q._ Were you at Pentland? |
| 28272 | _ Q._ When did you know of their rising in arms? |
| 28272 | _ Q._ Where did you meet with James Wallace? |
| 28272 | _ Q._ Where was you at the time of Pentland? |
| 28272 | _ Quest._ How prove you that? |
| 28272 | and he shall understand these things: prudent? |
| 28272 | and of the utter disability to do any thing that may answer the law, holiness and righteousness of God therein,_ etc._? |
| 28272 | but he spoke none, only uttering three deep groans, one of them asked him, What it might mean? |
| 28272 | of the impossibility of making any suitable approaches to him? |
| 28272 | said, Is it possible, my lord, that you can love and long for Christ, and he not love and long for you? |
| 28272 | seems God to beckon to your petitions, or does he bring you up and leave dark impressions on your mind? |
| 28272 | to be his lawful sovereign? |
| 28272 | v.& c. The minister said,"My lord, if you had the man Christ in your arms, would your heart, your breast and sides be pained with a stitch?" |
| 28272 | what is the matter? |
| 28272 | what manners reign? |
| 28272 | when shall this day dawn? |
| 28272 | why have you ruined our family? |
| 28272 | yea, what is a nation? |
| 28272 | you own the scriptures and your own confession of faith? |
| 37137 | Now what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria?--The Chaldee paraphrase hath it, What have you to do to associate with Pharaoh king of Egypt? 37137 Now ye shall say, we have no king, because we feared not the Lord, what then should a king do to us?" |
| 37137 | Shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? 37137 Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? |
| 37137 | Ye rejoice in a thing of naught, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? |
| 37137 | ''Idolatry''( saith he in his conference with Lethington)''ought not only to be suppressed, but the idolater ought to die the death; but by whom? |
| 37137 | ''What is he then that bears command, not for the people''s advantage, but studies only himself, who leadeth his subjects into manifest snares? |
| 37137 | ''What then? |
| 37137 | ( For how otherwise can popery be extirpated? |
| 37137 | 11.----The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink? |
| 37137 | 20. does tacitly assert the same truth, in that expostulation, shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, that frameth mischief by a law? |
| 37137 | 22.----What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel, and her witchcrafts are so many? |
| 37137 | 3, 4.--he doth whatsoever pleaseth him, where the word of a king is, there is power, and who may say unto him, What dost thou? |
| 37137 | A father to these that are unwilling to be sons? |
| 37137 | Again he asked, what they meant by owning? |
| 37137 | Again, if royal power may be resisted by interposing seas and miles, why not also by interposing walls and arms? |
| 37137 | Again, is it not plain, that the abstract and the concrete, the act or habit, and the subject wherein it is, can not have a contrary denomination? |
| 37137 | An head over such as will not be members? |
| 37137 | And a defender thro''violence? |
| 37137 | And are not tyrants the greatest of thieves, that rob and destroy twenty for one of private robberies? |
| 37137 | And do they not require this as such a sign on such a condition? |
| 37137 | And does not a national promise of preserving the reformation, bind as much to the curse of the breach of it? |
| 37137 | And how can we own that authority, that is wholly employed and applied for the destruction of religion? |
| 37137 | And if he have not the peoples call, where shall we find another? |
| 37137 | And if the father''s vow obliges the children, shall not the nation''s vow oblige the posterity? |
| 37137 | And in invading all those privileges of subjects, which are natural, civil, moral, and religious? |
| 37137 | And is not public preaching indispensible duty too? |
| 37137 | And must we own him to be a nursing father to the church? |
| 37137 | And shall they be obeyed? |
| 37137 | And shall we put them upon our head, who are infamously suspected of parricide, both projected and perpetrated?'' |
| 37137 | And this another, Was the killing of the bishop of St. Andrew''s horrid murder? |
| 37137 | And to set such a man over them, and not such an one, if they had no influence in making one at all? |
| 37137 | And what shall we say of his brother succeeding, who disdains all bonds, whose professed principle is, as a papist, to keep no faith to heretics? |
| 37137 | And 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? |
| 37137 | And who dare be so impudent as to deny this to be most reasonable and just? |
| 37137 | And who knows not the cruel designs of the papists now? |
| 37137 | And wilt thou condemn him that is most just? |
| 37137 | Are men therefore obliged to own his authority? |
| 37137 | As the minister of God, not to be resisted or revolted from under pain of damnation? |
| 37137 | As the question was never put to the people, whether they owned his authority as lawful, or not? |
| 37137 | But are not tyrants and usurpers haters of right? |
| 37137 | But can a subjection of this extent be paid to a tyrant or usurper? |
| 37137 | But can it be imagined, that all this is due to a tyrant and usurper? |
| 37137 | But it is not enough that they menace heaven? |
| 37137 | But it will be said, Can there be any instances of the primitive christians adduced? |
| 37137 | But now how shall this testimony be given by us conveniently? |
| 37137 | But shall the king also be punished? |
| 37137 | But then it will be urged, why then was that clause cast into the covenant? |
| 37137 | But what could be their hire they gave them for it, if it was not their taxations they paid, and money they sent unto them? |
| 37137 | But who sees not the disparity in every respect? |
| 37137 | But why are not the reformers condemned for the same things? |
| 37137 | But will men put out their own eyes, that they may be taken with the more tameness to grind in their mill, and make them merry at our madness? |
| 37137 | But will the world never be awakened out of this dream and dotage, of dull and stupid subjection to every monster that can mount a throne? |
| 37137 | By authority, whether did they mean the administration of it as now improved? |
| 37137 | By me tyrants reign, and usurpers decree injustice? |
| 37137 | By what authority shall judgment be execute upon them? |
| 37137 | By what right? |
| 37137 | Can an oath be taken in truth and righteousness, to assist him in all encroachments, upon causes that are not subordinate to him? |
| 37137 | Can he be a father and a patron to us against our will, by the sole power of the sword? |
| 37137 | Can he be called a father, who accounts his subjects slaves; or a shepherd, who does not feed, but devours his flock? |
| 37137 | Can it be imagined, that a people acting rationally, would give a power absolutely, without restrictions, to destroy all their own rights? |
| 37137 | Can it be out of conscience, because he is the Lord''s minister for good? |
| 37137 | Can no power, at first unjust, afterward become just? |
| 37137 | Can these be the fathers we are bound to honour in the fifth commandment? |
| 37137 | Can these scriptures consist with the judges dependence on the king''s pleasure, in the exercise and execution of their power? |
| 37137 | Can they be said to be gods among whom the Lord judgeth? |
| 37137 | Can tyrants and usurpers be such? |
| 37137 | Can we consent, that we and our posterity should be slaves? |
| 37137 | Can we honour them who are vile, and the vilest of men; how high soever they be exalted? |
| 37137 | Can we pray that God would bless him on a throne of iniquity? |
| 37137 | Can we support those we are bound to suppress? |
| 37137 | Could they suppose this boundless and lawless creature, left at liberty to tyrannize, would be a fit mean to procure the ends of government? |
| 37137 | Could we pray, that the Lord would bless a drunkard in his drunkenness, abusing his enjoyments? |
| 37137 | Dare any say then, that a magistrate''s or tyrant''s laws can exauctorate a minister? |
| 37137 | Did ever they, while groaning under the most insupportable tyranny of their persecuting emperors, disown their authority, or suffer for not owning it? |
| 37137 | Do they indeed fear a foreign invasion? |
| 37137 | For against what common enemy must we preserve it, if not against him that is the chief enemy thereof? |
| 37137 | For hath not he and his accomplices made the kingdom a curse? |
| 37137 | For the question is not, if when they think themselves injured they may resist? |
| 37137 | For what is authority, but a right to rule? |
| 37137 | For, it is demanded, how doth the son or brother succeed? |
| 37137 | Further, let it be enquired, What makes it unimitable? |
| 37137 | Great king''s- men all of them, who despised and boasted them, What is this that ye do? |
| 37137 | Have they not invaded the Mediator''s kingdom, and taken to themselves his house in possession? |
| 37137 | Have we lost our senses, that we may with confidence jeopard our souls? |
| 37137 | Hereby they have presumptuously taken upon them, to pass a judgment upon the deed of their brethren, before their murdering enemies? |
| 37137 | How long shall they break in pieces thy people? |
| 37137 | How shall we know who is our father, or what we owe to him, if we may give another his due? |
| 37137 | How? |
| 37137 | I retort that old Colewort twice boiled, who should be judge, whether they were their own lawful kings or not? |
| 37137 | If kings be not among the mighty, how shall they be classed? |
| 37137 | If so, then he was not satisfied with it: or the right, as now established? |
| 37137 | If the first be said, they grant all I plead for; for though the power in general be ordained, yet what is this to tyrants and usurpers? |
| 37137 | If the kingdom be his, by birth, as an inheritance, why may he not upon necessary occasions sell his inheritance? |
| 37137 | If they must only stand by, and be spectators of their omissions unconcerned, what shall they do to evite this wrath? |
| 37137 | If we cast at divine laws for rules of government where will we find better laws? |
| 37137 | If we have been forward to assist our neighbour kingdoms, shall we neglect to defend our own? |
| 37137 | In this case then I demand, whether their impunity is necessary, because they must not be put to death? |
| 37137 | In this case would, or durst any of the lovers of Jesus comply with any of these demands? |
| 37137 | Is it fit to say to a king, thou art wicked; and to princes ye are ungodly? |
| 37137 | Is it not necessary that forces be maintained, and such as are in public office in the kingdom? |
| 37137 | Is 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? |
| 37137 | Is it the law which adjudges them to punishment? |
| 37137 | Is it the person executing the laws? |
| 37137 | Is not this the case now? |
| 37137 | Is this our crying? |
| 37137 | Is this our endeavour that the wicked may be brought to condign punishment? |
| 37137 | Is this our struggling? |
| 37137 | It is sure the physician''s duty; but what if he will not, or can not, or there be no physician? |
| 37137 | It is true this is spoken against churchmen; but will any think that will be approven in civil powers, which is so hateful in church officers? |
| 37137 | It will be asked, how this passed from him unto others? |
| 37137 | Jehu the prophet is sent to him,"Shouldst thou love them that hate the Lord? |
| 37137 | Jesus or CÃ ¦ sar? |
| 37137 | Lord, how long shall the wicked? |
| 37137 | Must these things depend on the magistrate''s allowance? |
| 37137 | Must we believe, that a religion destroying tyrant is a righteous ruler? |
| 37137 | No man needs to say, Who shall be judge? |
| 37137 | Now how were they said to be without a ruler, when the Chaldean actually commanded, and absolutely ruled over them? |
| 37137 | Now, can we own all these abominable creatures to be magistrates? |
| 37137 | Now, if we require this qualification in the subordinate, why not in the supreme? |
| 37137 | Now, shall the laws be like spiders webs, which hold flies, but let bigger beasts pass through? |
| 37137 | Now, what else was the voice of Samuel, than a dissuasion? |
| 37137 | Now, what reason can be given for his opening his windows? |
| 37137 | O how amiable are his tabernacles? |
| 37137 | One objection is to be removed here: can the customs of the Jews be binding to all nations? |
| 37137 | One would think this behoved to be a very great favour, from a very great friend, for very gracious ends: but what is it? |
| 37137 | Or a thief in his stealing, though he used his purchase never so soberly? |
| 37137 | Or by refusing, expose myself to the hazard of being robbed or slain? |
| 37137 | Or can he think to be saved, when they shall be sentenced, who with so much deliberation and despite have done this thing? |
| 37137 | Or can they be done without meeting together in private or public? |
| 37137 | Or how otherwise can we cleanse the land of their sins?) |
| 37137 | Or in any other sense, alledged more legal? |
| 37137 | Or shall the enemies of God be more active against his cause than his people for it? |
| 37137 | Or shall the subjects, calling in all from 60 to 16, be able to support the throne? |
| 37137 | Or that whores of state are not to be called to an account? |
| 37137 | Or whether it induces upon themselves, and entails upon the posterity, slavery as to both these invaluable interests? |
| 37137 | Or whether they might suffer their brethren to be murdered in their presence, without any declaration that such tyranny displeased them?'' |
| 37137 | Or, shall this be satisfaction for his life, that he is a crowned king? |
| 37137 | Shall I obey and be free? |
| 37137 | Shall even he that hateth right govern? |
| 37137 | Shall even he that hateth right govern? |
| 37137 | Shall he, notwithstanding of this, give what these enemies to Christ, call for as his concurrence, to enable them to execute their wicked contrivance? |
| 37137 | Shall it be for want of witnesses? |
| 37137 | Shall none be past against parricide or fratricide, for killing his brother, murdering the nobles, and burning cities? |
| 37137 | Shall not a man defend himself? |
| 37137 | Shall sentence be past for petty wrongs against a man, and none for tyrannizing over religion, laws, and liberties of the kingdom? |
| 37137 | Shall that idol( say they) be suffered again to take place within this realm? |
| 37137 | Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, that frameth mischief by a law? |
| 37137 | Shall their omission be an argument to us? |
| 37137 | Shall therefore they govern? |
| 37137 | Shall these guard the nation, who, together with religion, tread upon the poor remaining shadow of liberty? |
| 37137 | Shall we love the ungodly, and help those that hate the Lord? |
| 37137 | Shall we own these, against whom the Lord hath engaged his holiness by oath so solemnly, that he will fish them with hooks? |
| 37137 | Should not we then hate that which the Lord hates, and withdraw from that which he hath forsaken? |
| 37137 | Should we thus help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? |
| 37137 | So may we say, what have we to do to take their oaths and bonds, that are as great enemies as they were? |
| 37137 | So when Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, they answered, what portion have we in David? |
| 37137 | Sulpitius Asper, being asked, why he had combined with others against Nero, and thought to have killed him? |
| 37137 | The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy? |
| 37137 | The commands of public justice, to whom are they given but to magistrates? |
| 37137 | The contrary is clear, that he is the devil''s drudge serving his interest: Is resistance to tyrants a damnable sin? |
| 37137 | The first can not be said: for that would justify all robbery: nor the second, for where is that law found? |
| 37137 | The kings of Judah made such covenants, shall therefore all kings do so? |
| 37137 | The law requiring these payments being promulgate, every man must be supposed to put the question to himself, What shall I do in the case? |
| 37137 | Then, who made him a king? |
| 37137 | Therefore what can remain, but that he must be a fiduciary servant? |
| 37137 | They owned him; but how? |
| 37137 | They were never forced to give their judgment, neither was the question ever put to them, whether they owned their authority or not? |
| 37137 | This could not be taken in truth, judgment, and righteousness: for who can tell how far that may extend, upon any pretence whatsoever? |
| 37137 | To the question then, who shall be judge between these usurping and tyrannizing rulers and us? |
| 37137 | To what purpose are these rules given them, if they had no interest to choose their magistrates? |
| 37137 | Was it only to let in the air? |
| 37137 | What are these forces and public officers for? |
| 37137 | What are they employed about, but to promote the dragon''s designs, and serve his drudgery? |
| 37137 | What command can there be for praying for that, which is against the preceptive will of God? |
| 37137 | What evidence can be given of this in their transactions with them? |
| 37137 | What follows? |
| 37137 | What have we to congratulate him for, but for overturning our laws and liberties, and oppressing us in most grievous tyranny? |
| 37137 | What if all this should be granted? |
| 37137 | What if both king and nobles turn enemies to religion,( as they are at this day) shall people do nothing for the defence of it then? |
| 37137 | What 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? |
| 37137 | What if those in public authority be the murderers? |
| 37137 | What if we find among them meetings, that were called and counted as seditious and schismatic as ours are now? |
| 37137 | What is a man''s excellency but a good conscience? |
| 37137 | What is he then, who doth not contend for virtue with the good but to exceed the most flagitious in vices? |
| 37137 | What is here to be reprehended? |
| 37137 | What is that, that thou hast done?'' |
| 37137 | What should hinder then justice to be awarded upon a murdering king? |
| 37137 | What sort or size of possession can be owned to give a right? |
| 37137 | What then shall appease the wrath of God, for the unparalleled breach of covenant with God in our days? |
| 37137 | What, by owning authority? |
| 37137 | What? |
| 37137 | When it is an evil time, the evil of sin is incumbent, and the evil of wrath is impendent over a land; then the lion hath roared, who will not fear? |
| 37137 | When the old world was destroyed by water, Sodom and Jerusalem were destroyed, were all alike wicked? |
| 37137 | Where was there ever such an arbitrary and absolute power arrogated by any mortal, as hath been claimed by our rulers these years past? |
| 37137 | Where will any other be found to do it in such circumstances? |
| 37137 | Whereupon this became a criminal question robbing many of their lives, Was the rising at Bothwel- bridge rebellion, and a sin against God? |
| 37137 | Wherewithal shall the nation be guarded against foreign invasion? |
| 37137 | Whether any thing less than a testimony can free me of this guilt, whereby the nation involved in it is made a curse? |
| 37137 | Whether it be magistracy or tyranny? |
| 37137 | Whether it gives security for religion and liberty, to themselves and their posterity? |
| 37137 | Whether it must be taken in that of the imposers, practically explained by their administrations? |
| 37137 | Whether it obliges to a king in idea, and in a more general consideration, as one who is said never to die? |
| 37137 | Whether it went by fatherhood to all the sons, fathers to their posterity? |
| 37137 | Whether or no is it lawful for a man to kill another by his own private authority? |
| 37137 | Whether public or private? |
| 37137 | 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 testify? |
| 37137 | Whether, we believe that the testimony of every one shall be called for, in the day when God shall seek out this wickedness? |
| 37137 | Who durst concur then in this compliance, who had love to Christ in exercise, and who had his friends in the same bottom embarked? |
| 37137 | Who shall put them to death? |
| 37137 | Whose bands? |
| 37137 | Why should not the young lions roar upon them, and make their land waste? |
| 37137 | Why should not they be spoiled? |
| 37137 | Why then do we so much weary ourselves concerning a judge, seeing we have the king''s own confession, that is, the law?'' |
| 37137 | Why then shall the representatives, betraying their trust, wrong the cause of the people, whose trustees they are? |
| 37137 | Will mischiefs framed into a law warrant such iniquity? |
| 37137 | Will they mock us into the same rebellion with themselves? |
| 37137 | Will ye rebel against the king? |
| 37137 | Will ye( quoth she) allow they shall take my sword in their hand? |
| 37137 | Would God command them to set a king over them, if they had not power to do it? |
| 37137 | Would Samuel write in a book the rules of tyranny, to teach to oppress, contrary to the law of God? |
| 37137 | Would any that favoured David''s righteous cause, have dared to do any of these? |
| 37137 | Would men be hindered, by law, from seeking their natural food? |
| 37137 | Would not every man nauseate that as not the doctrine of God? |
| 37137 | Would not this be wickedness thus to pray for thieves and robbers? |
| 37137 | Would these that durst not concur themselves, contribute any encouragement to the concurrers? |
| 37137 | Wouldst not thou be angry with us, till thou hadst consumed us, so that there shouldst be no remnant nor escaping?" |
| 37137 | Yea, when it was voted in the General Assembly, whether they might take the Queen''s mass from her? |
| 37137 | Yet all perished: why? |
| 37137 | Yet certain it is, that they had commission and warrant from the King; as the Assembly that year, February 13. remonstrates it to himself? |
| 37137 | Yet it doth not infringe the proposition: what if the people have not power to compel him? |
| 37137 | _ Answ._ Why not this custom, as well as crowning, which they used likewise? |
| 37137 | _ Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?_ Rev. |
| 37137 | and for what end was it ordained, and continued among men, but that the stronger may not domineer over the weaker? |
| 37137 | and he that keepeth thy soul doth not he know it, and shall not he render to every man according to his works? |
| 37137 | and not rather chuse to perish with him, or in opposition to such wicked attempts? |
| 37137 | and submit to them whom we are bound to extirpate? |
| 37137 | and what have you to do to make a covenant with the Assyrian?" |
| 37137 | and what is anarchy, but the playing the rex of the natural power over the moral? |
| 37137 | and why should not Christians shew by their deeds, that they honour such as fear the Lord, and contemn a vile person? |
| 37137 | can presbyterians swear that allegiance, which is substituted in the place of the broken and burnt covenant? |
| 37137 | do they declare they will stone our husband? |
| 37137 | for 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? |
| 37137 | have not we the king''s letter for it?) |
| 37137 | how long shall the wicked triumph? |
| 37137 | if CÃ ¦ sar''s authority was from bad beginnings, did therefore Christ untruly say it was from above? |
| 37137 | is it the cause of their punishment? |
| 37137 | nor endeavour to kill none of that murdering crew, because they are in his service? |
| 37137 | or a pilot, who doth always study to make shipwreck of the goods, and strikes a leak in the very ship where he fails? |
| 37137 | or an act of a king of clay rescind the mandates of the King of kings? |
| 37137 | or because they can not be put to death? |
| 37137 | or disobey and suffer? |
| 37137 | or exempt people from obedience due thereunto? |
| 37137 | or ought he not rather to be delivered up even by the son to justice? |
| 37137 | or silence him by his own proper elicite acts, as king or tyrant, or formally and immediately? |
| 37137 | or that antichrist, or one of his limbs, should be employed in the church''s deliverance, while such? |
| 37137 | or that he will thrust them away, as a man must be fenced against thorns? |
| 37137 | or that the declaration does assert any such thing? |
| 37137 | or was it to see Jerusalem out at these windows? |
| 37137 | or, whether he may encroach on the prerogative of God or not? |
| 37137 | read of tyrants? |
| 37137 | shall they exhort them, or witness against them? |
| 37137 | shall we refuse to be slaves to one without, and be, and own ourselves contented slaves to one within the kingdom? |
| 37137 | shall we split twice upon the same rock? |
| 37137 | the magistrate or people? |
| 37137 | v. 12. whom we are to obey and submit ourselves to as those who are accountable to Christ only, for to whom else can they give account of souls? |
| 37137 | was ever a fool so fettered? |
| 37137 | what if he commands massacre? |
| 37137 | what new habit or endowment is produced in him? |
| 37137 | will this tattle of a robber be found relevant in that day, when the public robbers shall be proceeded against by the just Judge? |
| 37137 | would not this claim be ridiculous for any man to soy, God hath ordained governments to be, therefore I will challenge it? |
| 37137 | yea run upon it, when God hath set a beacon on it? |
| 37137 | yea, how can the fishes and reptiles have no ruler over them? |
