A23641& 9. and all over the Scripture, are they not in nature first given to mankinde?
A236411 It will not follow; for first, if the Apostle in extraordinary cases baptized privately, will it follow that in ordinary dispensation it may be so?
A236411 What is all this to the purpose, what light or derection a Church need to receive?
A236412 If Christ gave this power to the community, was it from the beginning of the Church, or tooke it effect after the Church was planted?
A236413 Did Abraham, Lot, Melchisedeck, and such family Churches, walk against grounds of morality and nature, that did not so combine?
A236413 Though much people were added to the Lord, yet doth it follow they were more then could meet in one Congregation?
A236413 Yea further, what if this Catholick Church be in some respects of reason and order of nature also the first Church, and particular Churches, ortae?
A23641And if in Cities, or some such great Townes that might have been done, yet how was it possible for so many scattered Christians all over the Countrey?
A23641And is it now come to this passe, that these who were in a manner one can not live together in the same kingdome?
A23641And is not all this to joyne themselves to the visible instituted Church before they were circumcised?
A23641And is not this fulfilled in these times?
A23641And it is proved per partes, thus: 1 For the unity; are not all mankinde oft in Scripture called the world?
A23641And therefore how can a man be visibly a member of the whole, and belong to no part thereof?
A23641And was this bare words to put off the Prelaticall petition?
A23641And what is that Incense, and pure offering, but the pure prayers, and worship of God that should be in all Gentile Churches under the Gospell?
A23641And what is the ground of all this?
A23641And what should we heresay?
A23641And what would men have us doe in such a case?
A23641And why not so here in this case?
A23641Are the members of particular Churches firstly of the Catholick Church; and is it not so here?
A23641Are they not Brethren who differ from us?
A23641As for Philip and Ananias if they baptized, did they baptize as private men, or as Church Officers?
A23641Bee it so that in Corinth Paul baptized not many but by others, yet first we demand, By whom did Paul and the Apostles baptize?
A23641Besides, if such an assembly of many Churches may administer Seales, why may not any other assembly of Church members or Ministers doe the same?
A23641But doth this argue one politicall body consisting of all these?
A23641But we demand first, What was it to a vouch the God of Abraham to be his God?
A23641But what doe we thus to take upon us, and let loose our Pen so far?
A23641But what is the ground of all this?
A23641But what is this to what ought to bee in an orderly way whereof wee speake?
A23641But what?
A23641Can any bee admitted into a Church, that whole Church being ignorant thereof?
A23641Did not the hearts of men generally faile them?
A23641Did the Lord accept the sacrifice of the Church constituted by Jeroboam?
A23641For what is it to be the flock, people, or sheep of God, but to be the Church of God?
A23641For what is more ordinary in all true Churches, then for people, first to chuse their Ministers,& then to receive the seals at their hands?
A23641For where can they shew any such command?
A23641For where shall we finde a people joyning together with godly Pastors, but in such particular Assemblies?
A23641God forbid, have wee ventured thus farre, and shall wee not presume a little further?
A23641God hath set, saith he, in the Church not onely Apostles, or Prophets, or tongues,& c. but all these; are all Apostles?
A23641How came Israel to be one Nationall church, but by a National covenant?
A23641How comes it then to passe the breach is growne so great?
A23641If all the Countries of England should elect or call a Lord Major for London, bee they never so many and wise, it is a meere nullity, and why?
A23641If his word bee over- zealous to say it is a presumpteous sin to doe otherwise, what is that to us?
A23641If such businesses must bee determined on the Lords day?
A23641If the Pastor derive all his authority from the Church, when the Church hath set him aside, what right hath he to administer among that people?
A23641If the second, what Officers were they?
A23641Is foederall holinesse first the priviledge of the Catholick Church?
A23641Is it naturall or voluntary?
A23641Lastly, by this Doctrine how shall the Church come by Officers, when shee hath none to goe before her in choosing for her?
A23641Let a man bring himselfe, and never so godly desires, yet if hee will joyne in a knowne corrupt service, will his godly desires excuse him?
A23641Many then thought, it is an evill time, the prudent shall hold their peace, and might wee not say, this is not our resting place?
A23641Must wee study some distinctions to salve our Consciences in complying with so manifold corruptions in Gods Worship?
A23641Nay why have they not told them, they were bound to attend upon God in hearing their Sir John read at home?
A23641Now the Text saith, in respect of the first, That they were pricked to the heart ▪ and cryed out Men, and Brethren what shall wee doe?
A23641Now what comfort can any godly conscience have to joyn in, or conform unto such a form of Worship as this is?
A23641Popish episcopall enemies and haters of all godlinesse and reformation, cleave together in one Church of Christ, with the Saints of God?
A23641Say not, what calling have these thus to admonish and censure us?
A23641Secondly, If it bee unlawfull by divine institution, may not evill consequences bee added, and if both hold, are not our reasons the more strong?
A23641Secondly, We deny not but such have a right to be in the particular Church, and so to baptisme and all ordinances?
A23641Secondly, Where must they professe this faith, and avouch this God?
A23641Secondly, what faith?
A23641Sixtly, This hath not beene beleeved in the Church?
A23641The Church as it is taken for them that exercise spirituall functions hath a certaine power,& c. but where is the Church so taken?
A23641The fatherly care of our God in feeding and cloathing so many in a Wildernesse, giving such healthfulnesse and great increase of posterity?
A23641To the second, with what profession( charity, according to rule) is to rest satisfied?
A23641True, but where?
A23641Was it in any place where they dwelt, and so might they circumcise themselves?
A23641Was it not to subject himselfe to all the Statutes, Commandements, and judgements of God in his Church to walke in them?
A23641Was there not the same Law for the stranger, and the home- borne?
A23641We answer, if so, then why should not the Provinciall and Nationall Churches by this reason assume all to themselves from the Classis?
A23641What authority hath hee to Minister to any Church, if they will refuse him?
A23641What doth this argument conclude?
A23641What needeth then such a Reply?
A23641What should hinder, if the whole nation would bee willing, to recover themselves into Churches?
A23641What then becomes of the Church when the Minister is dead?
A23641What will not all our vowes, covenants and solemne Oaths binde us together?
A23641Whereby some no doubt might be gained, and what a blessed worke were that?
A23641Which of them doth Christ designe, but whom the Church freely choose?
A23641Whose heart bleeds not to see Gods flock scattered, and needlesse rents made?
A23641Why is this Church of this Classis not of another but by combination?
A23641alasse, how is it now so wide and deep, that at the first was presented to the world so small, or scarce any at all?
A23641and if gone out, how are they within?
A23641and so if an orthodox professor will frowardly forsake all Churches and live alone, or among the heathen, how is hee within?
A23641and then to this or that person, family, City?
A23641and therefore when he requires confession of sins, was it without remorse or sorrow for it?
A23641are all Prophets,& c?
A23641doe they not stand or fall to their own Master, and how shall wee reject or judge them?
A23641doe wee not hope to live in heaven together, and shall wee stand at such distances here?
A23641for the offence of one is common to all: As also upon this ground, why should not the Classis admit all the members of every Congregation under them?
A23641hast thou not yet learned so much wisdom, as to kisse the son, no not now when he is angry and the sword in his hand?
A23641hath not the Lord received them?
A23641have we not our ignorances and frailties?
A23641is the cause past helpe and remedy?
A23641must not this bee done amongst, and before the people of God in his visible Church?
A23641must shee loose her right, or take whom others will choose for her, and impose upon her?
A23641or did the Author speake without ground at adventures?
A23641or if so, should not this perswade us to bee of one minde in the Lord?
A23641or should wee forsake the publique Assemblies, and joyne together in private separated Churches?
A23641or should wee live without Gods ordinances, because wee could not partake in the corrupt administration thereof?
A23641or want of naturall affections to our deare Countrey, or nearest relations?
A23641or who shall censure them for refusing, by any rule of Christ?
A23641or withdraw from them that use them?
A23641ordinary or extraordinary?
A23641saying they w ● … nt out?
A23641shall we lose the blessing of peace- makers?
A23641shall wee thus suffer peace to goe from us, and not follow and pursue it?
A23641such as had not received the Covenant of grace?
A23641was it because debito and de jure onely, they should be so?
A23641wee suppose none would deny it, why then should not visible beleevers require, and take up this part of the grant, as well as the seale of it?
A23641were it Christian liberty, or dangerous licenciousnesse to leave such a man to his owne counsels, and not meddle with him?
A23641were not Apostles given to the Church for the edifying of the body of Christ,& c. as well as other Officers?
A23641what fault can be found with the substance of what either Robinson or our selves speake, if our meaning, and his were but charitably taken?
A23641what is that to the faithfull?
A23641what shall wee say of the Worke it selfe of the kingdome of Christ?
A23641what though the Minister offer the service?
A23641what, is there no consolation in Christ, no comfort of love, no fellowship of the spirit?
A23641when many Ministers and people( well thought of by the best) were carried away shamefully with these things?
A23641when many weake Christians were staggering and wavering and looking at the judgement and practise of their guides, ready to stand or fall with them?
A23641when the tyranny of the Prelates raged in the pressing of the booke, and their other humane inventions?
A23641yea where should they professe their faith, but in the visible Churches, as the Proselytes of old did?
A502482, 3, 4. and what was this denying the Power of Godliness that is charged upon them?
A502482.15, 16. and shall we say, that notwithstanding all this, they were received into compleat and immediate membership by their personal faith,& c?
A50248224, 225?
A5024826. was entring into a new Membership?
A502483. could answer all that is said in this Proposition?
A502484 of being ● e ● alone in their wickedness?
A5024849 why may not the like be said of those who are onely Baptized in voto?
A5024852. why should it be thought a dangerous matter to agree thereunto for the Substance thereof?
A5024859?
A502487 — 10. doth not that import an injunction to the Churches unto which they did belong, to Excommunicate them, if they had not already done it?
A50248A Parents Faith, Prayers, and Covenant may live, though hi ● self be dead: But how?
A50248A meer contrary Affirmation, how can it go for a sufficient Confutation?
A50248Adam was a Member of fallen Mankinde, and so are we, though he came to be so by his own personal act, and we by him, or by his act for us?
A50248Againe, how came Esau to lose his Membership?
A50248And Cartwright to ● ● at Question, What are the Duties of the rest of the Church that are pres ● nt at a C ● i ● des Baptisme?
A50248And do we not then express this, that the Parent whose Child ● is to be Baptized must be a Confederate visible Believer?
A50248And doth not this Neglect make way for I ● religion and Apostacy in Churches, no Church- way being used toward these for prevent ● ng thereof?
A50248And doth not this sufficiently imply, That children in those Churches, when adult, were under Discipline in those Churches?
A50248And for ability to examine themselves, can not this be wanting ▪ but the want of the being of faith must be inferred thence?
A50248And how came the Children of Abraham by Keturah to lose their Membership?
A50248And how can the Doctrine in hand have any such natural tendency?
A50248And if their communion with the Church did not cease, but continue, how can it be avoided but they were under Church- discipline?
A50248And if this be true, is it not then true, that if the Parents continue in the Covenant, the Seed of such Parents are also part of the Church?
A50248And in another place( b) unto this Question, To whom is the Lords Supper to be given?
A50248And indeed how can it?
A50248And indeed, how can it be otherwise?
A50248And indeed, how can that be taken for an Ordinance of Christ, which is not according to Scripture?
A50248And is not the Arguing of the Reverend Author much like it?
A50248And is there no danger of Corruption by Over- straitning the Subject of Baptism?
A50248And we di ● ● ered about this, Who are visible Believers?
A50248And what shall become of Children when their Parents are dead( as how many F ● therle ● s and Motherless Children are amo ● g us?)
A50248And when the Apostle bids Timothy, turn away from such; doth not this simply that they were Scandalous persons, and apparently wicked?
A50248And who ever made a specifical distinction of that, so as to say( in that sense) some are Mediate Subjects, and some Immediate?
A50248And why not?
A50248And why will not this follow?
A50248Are all the adult persons, whom they admit into Membership, such as the Proposition describes?
A50248Are not we as truely, personally, and immediately Members of the Body of fallen Mankinde, as Adam was?
A50248Besides, how shall we know a thing to be an Ordinance of Christ, if it be not according to the Scripture?
A50248But as mediate as their Member ● ● ip is, here is somewhat added, that shall touch these adult Children themselves; and what is that?
A50248But can we not deal with Arguments, without being supposed to reflect upon the Persons each of other?
A50248But did either of them ple ● d for greater strictness then the Synod doth?
A50248But for the other, of being Immediate Members, why doth not this follow from their being partakers of the Covenant, the formalis ratio of Membership?
A50248But how do they agree therein, if for all this in graffing there be something between the stock and them?
A50248But how shall they be reconciled, if the latter, as well as the former, be meant of the Church- visible?
A50248But if this denial do deny them to have any part in the Lord, and so make them cease from fea ● ing the Lord, how can it be but as is said?
A50248But is there any Proof of the contrary to what the Synod affirmeth?
A50248But is this certain, that a different way of covenanting, makes a different kinde of membership?
A50248But is this certain, that neither Rule in Scripture, nor good Reason, will give warrant for such charity as is mentioned?
A50248But is this certain, that the Parents in question are visibly breakers of the covenant?
A50248But is this which is here affirmed certain and clear, that want of the ability and exercise spoken of, doth argue want of the very being of Faith?
A50248But shall we therefore deny or scruple their Admission thereunto?
A50248But then how can this stand which is there said, that such persons are not under the Watch, Discipline and Government of the Church?
A50248But to that Question, Would you admit all sorts to the Lor ● s Supper?
A50248But what is all this to the Children of our Churches?
A50248But what is all this to the matter in hand?
A50248But what is there in this to overthrow the Synods Assertion?
A50248But what weight is there in this, to weaken the Synods Argument?
A50248But where is there any thing to shew that the administration of Baptism, pointed to by the Synod, is undue?
A50248But why do not the things mentioned avail to put the Parent into Church- fellowship?
A50248But why doth not this Reason and Text prove the thing intended by the Synod?
A50248But why doth this Text speak nothing for the advantage of the Synod?
A50248But why should we use personal membership in so improper a sence, or insist on a sence that toucheth not the cause in question?
A50248But why then is this Proposition stuck at?
A50248But will any say, that to be a childe of a Church- member is no priviledge at all to a childe, but onely to the Father?
A50248By the Covenant God gives himself to be a God to his People, and to their seed in their generations, Gen. 17. and shall we say this is nothing?
A50248Calvin in his Geneva- cate ● hism, to that Question, Whether Pasters may give the Sacraments to all?
A50248Can distracted persons do so?
A50248Can persons be truly called Holy, as in the Text alledged, or an Holy seed, as Ezra 9. and yet not be Members of the visible Church?
A50248Can there be such Vigilancy, Care and Endeavours towards such as are no ● under the watch of the Church at all?
A50248Can they be Israelites, and not Israel, in the same respect?
A50248Do ye not judge them that are within?
A50248Doth he deny that it is want of opportunity that hinders the Parents from doing what is required in the fifth Proposition?
A50248Doth it not plainly appear thereby, that a different way and means of being in Covenant, doth not make a different sort of Membership?
A50248For what hath the Church to do to judge men without?
A50248For what is more easie then for an offender to forsake the Assembly, to separate himself,& c?
A50248For, can we think that those Churches had no Church- discipline in them?
A50248For, doth not the Vigilancy of Church- Elders, import some kinde of Church- watchfulness?
A50248For, is any Parent such a procreant cause of his childs Being by gen ● raci ● n, as not to be instrumental under God therein?
A50248God is Almighty, and All- sufficient, and is it nothing to have such a God to be a God to us, and to our seed?
A50248Here we see are various wayes of covenanting; but shall we say that these do infer divers kinds of membership?
A50248How can a Separation be properly pertinacious and incurable, or appear so to be, till the means of Church discipline have been used?
A50248How strangely is this misapplied to the matter in hand( b)?
A50248How then is it here said, that the Synod would not let this which themselves acknowledged, be expressed, though our Vnity lay at the stake for it?
A50248How then?
A50248If In, why is Baptism denied to their Children?
A50248If Out, how co ● e they so to be?
A50248If he be without, why should you disown him, any more then you do Non- members, or such as were never joyned to the Church?
A50248If it be said, that the baptizing of these in question hardens the Parent?
A50248If it may not be granted that they continue Members, why should not something be produced to prove the contrary?
A50248If some Authors have so distinguished Members, yet where is such a distinction of Membership?
A50248If the meaning onely be that Infants do not enter into Covenant by an act of their own proper persons; who ever said or thought they did?
A50248If the persons described in the Proposition be said to be broken off, what is this l ● ss then the thing that is so disowned?
A50248If then the union of Members with the Church be ● ● graffing, how can it be avoided but it must be immediate, and so they be immediate Members?
A50248If therefore the children spoken of be in the Covenant, how can the deniall of Baptism to them be any other then is said?
A50248If therefore there were these three differences, and as many more, between the cases alledged, yet where is there any difference in the main point?
A50248If they be breakers of it, then sure they are comprehended in it: for, how can men break the Covenant, wh ● ch they are not in?
A50248If this will not suffice, but there must be some other qualifications besides, and superadded unto this, what shall become of them?
A50248Is Regular Communion so good and excellent, and can it be hurtful for Churches to agree and consent to Practise it?
A50248Is it an act of covenanting, which is the instrumental means?
A50248Is it come to this, that Children are not Members of any Instituted Church?
A50248Is it covenan ●-interest, which is the formalis ratio of membership?
A50248Is it divine gran ●, and institution, which is the principal efficient?
A50248Is it not a main point in ingraffing, that the union between the branch and the stock be immediate, and that nothing lye between them?
A50248Is not here plain suitableness in the Similitude?
A50248Is not this a rendring of them, in respect of their children, in a worse condition then formerly?
A50248Is their giving up themselves and ● h ● ● r children to the Lord, a cause to cut off their children from having any part in the Lord?
A50248Is there no danger of putting those: out of the visible Church, whom Christ would have kept in?
A50248May there not be the being and truth of that grace, even there where the exercise of it is much wanting?
A50248No we do not see that he denieth this at all?
A50248Now can the neglect of Church- watchfulness be a cause of this evil, if the Lord have not appointed them to be under the same?
A50248Now doth not this prove the thing intended?
A50248Now if they be breakers of it, is it not thereby clear that they are comprehended in it?
A50248Now we demand, how they can be admitted as Members ▪ who are already as compleat, and perfect Members as any in the Chur ● h?
A50248Now what saith the Reverend Author to these Proofs?
A50248Now what saith the Reverend Author to these?
A50248Now what saith the Reverend Author to this in his Reply?
A50248Now what saith the Reverend Author to this?
A50248Now what saith the Reverend Author to this?
A50248Now what saith the Reverend Author unto this?
A50248Now what saith the Reverend Author unto this?
A50248Psal 50 16. but doth the Lord say this to such as were qualified as in this fifth Proposition?
A50248That Interest in the Covenant is the main ground of title to Baptism?
A50248That more then membership is also requisite to the receiving of the Lords Supper?
A50248That when they are grown up, they are not under the watch, discipline and government of the Church?
A50248The Lord knows how many may from outward Membership in the visible Church, drop to Hell; and does not their Death put an end to their Membership?
A50248The Synod, to shew that Children are actual, complea ●, and immediate members, asketh, what do they want hereunto?
A50248The words of the Text are express and plain, What have I to do to judge them also that are without?
A50248To some indeed the Lord saith, What hast thou to do to take my covenant in thy mo ● th?
A50248To use it, being not so qualified visibly, is it not a treacherous usurping of the Great Seal of the King of Heaven and Earth?
A50248VVhat if all this were granted?
A50248W ● at is t ● is Disow ● ing?
A50248We demand, whether this Disowning be not a putting one out of the Church, that was before in it?
A50248We demand, whether this does not fully yield the Cause, and give us as much as we need to the matter in hand?
A50248We have known an Antipoedebaptist flie to this as his Sheat- Anchor[ Infants are Members; ● ut how?
A50248We might also ask whether such a member of reasoning as is here used would prove Women to be no Members of an Instituted Church?
A50248Wh ● t state of fitness was the unclean Iewish Parent in, but onely a state of membership?
A50248What proof is there, that except this be done, there can be no ground for the charitable judgement that is mentioned?
A50248What shall be said then of little children?
A50248What then doth the Reverend Author here say?
A50248What though the voluntary Combination, mentioned by by Mr. Rutherfurd, in his sense doth inferre a Classical Membership and Iurisdiction?
A50248What though there be no mention of Church- censure in the Texts alledged?
A50248Who ever said that any were broken off for growing up to adult age?
A50248Why doth it not follow, that if God did establish the Church of the Iews by a progress of the Covenant, that therefore he doth so now?
A50248Why should such a thing be barely affirmed, and not proved?
A50248and if his deni ● l do cause that they have no part in the Lord, doth it not also cause their Irreligion and ● postacy?
A50248and if so, what should hinder but that Children, when grown up, may as well be under Church- discipline now, as under the Old Testament?
A50248and is not that all one, as to have true Faith in the judgement o ● Charity?
A50248and is not their subjection to Church- discipline, when adult, in the new Testament, rightly inferred from the like subjection in the Old?
A50248and is there not the like reason of other punishments, whether Ecclesiastical or Civil?
A50248and might they be then under Church- discipline, and yet now not so, because here there is not par ratio?
A50248and the want of children even in married persons to be by Gods restraining hand, and sh ● tting up the W ● ● b?
A50248and what could all their Profession, and Faith, and Actings do, if God did not vouchsafe to take them into Covenant?
A50248and where shall we have Scripture- warrant for such a Church- disowning as is not Excommuni ● ation?
A50248are they In the Church, or Out?
A50248are they Members of the Catholick visible Church?
A50248be a sufficient proof thereof?
A50248can men be faulty for not performing Covenant- engagements, when they are not comprehended in the Covenant?
A50248can men cease from fearing the Lord, and from having any par ● in h ● ●, and yet this not tend to Apostacy and Irreligion?
A50248can one be bound by that which is not in being?
A50248do they take a right course to know they are such?
A50248doth not this plainly shew, that Parents are but Instrumental under God in the begetting of Children?
A50248for if it was so with the Jews children, is it not also so with ours, according to the Synods arguing?
A50248for, may they be now Baptized in their infancy, as then they were Circumcised, because there is in both par ratio?
A50248how much more those who never had such membership?
A50248i. e. Virtually, in the virtue and effect of them: And how is that?
A50248i. e. What have they more then this, that they are regularly( by the Rules of Gods Word, and his Institution therein) within the visible Church?
A50248if not, is it not a vain thing?
A50248must we binde the Holy- Ghost to mention all Truths and Rules together in one Text or Context?
A50248no, not in the least degree?
A50248or are they no Members at all?
A50248or are they such breakers of it, who if they have not publickly acted as aforesaid, the reason hath been, because they have been inevitably hindred?
A50248or farre removed, and when Children are sui juris, and not under the wings of their Parents?
A50248or how can it be denied, but that this ariseth from their different qualifications?
A50248or that it is an undue Administration of B ● ptism to extend it further then the Lords Supper?
A50248or that the Members of them were not under that Discipline?
A50248or the children, when grown up, were not Members?
A50248or to administer Baptism to some unto whom we do not administer the Lords Supper?
A50248or to what purpose is that?
A50248shall they be Owned ▪ or Disowned?
A50248such as they are capable of, though not of all; and then why may not the like be yielded concerning the adult persons spoken of?
A50248that might help them toward Heaven?
A50248there being cause for it?
A50248to what purpose should this be?
A50248we suppose this can not be denied; and therefore if a progress of the Covenant did establish the Church then, why not so now?
A50248were they not Scandalous in life, but did give up themselves to the Lord, and subject themselves to the Government of Christ in his Church?
A50248what course do they take to know it?
A50248what need we labour in finding out distinctions to deny them that which no body ever challenged for them?
A50248what shall then become of Gods institution in this matter?
A50248when as the offence doth not cut off the Parents Membership, is there any reason it should cut off the Membership of the Childe?
A50248— And why may not the Church deny Baptism to any childe of a believing Parent?
A50248● ez ●, concerning the Question who are to be Baptized?
A57981& 19,& c. And what reason is there, I pray you, to say, People are visibly redeemed, but not visibly chosen to glory?
A57981& 2 15, 16, 19?
A57981& 6. thousands, if more then five thousands all in one congregation?
A57981( 2) How, or what calling, or what sort of officers are your Pastors to them?
A57981( 3) How can you offer Christ all the day long to Pagans?
A579811. and whether there the one hundred and twenty were there to receive the three thousand as members at that time in a judicial way?
A579811. shall it then follow, that the one is of the nature of the other?
A5798110. layed hands upon the Levites: for what if one say, Moses the Magistrate layed on hands?
A5798111, 12. all Asa and Iehoiadah their covenants had alike strength?
A5798111. lie upon unofficed brethren?
A5798111?
A5798112. may they not rebuke?
A5798113, 14. to whom he was debtor to preach the Gospel, came he onely as such a debtor to brethren of a single congregation?
A5798114, 15?
A5798115, 16?
A5798115. there is not a Judicature a ● hand, hath Christ provided to tell no Church, and left no remedy to remove the greatest of scandals?
A5798116 before the Church, was that in the convened together congregation?
A5798116. and there is no word of a Presbytery: and Christ saith, Iohn 21. thrice to Piter only, Lovest thou me?
A5798116?
A5798117. are Parents equal in power who do command the Virgin, whose it is to consent to the marriage?
A5798117?
A5798119. and who hath believed our report?
A579812. Who shall perswade that our Saviours sense is so hampered?
A5798121. were real converts, who can believe, except you believe?

A579814. no single person can lawfully be a member of a Turkish Church, how can he then separate from such?
A579814. then Mr. H?
A579814: How proveth he that all the baptized were visible converts that came to Iohn?
A579815, 7, 8. if officers have no official work in creating officers, but only to choose them, which any brother or woman may do?

A579817. a right to be members of that Church, else upon what right shall they be baptized?
A579817. to any unofficed men?
A57981A Spouse without stewards may feed; may therefore unofficed brethren preach, and tender the Seals, as Socinians say they may baptize one another?
A57981A 〈 ◊ 〉 these acts of Church communion?
A57981And again, when the Elders themselves turn Wolves, who then can give out an official and dogmatick sentence against them?
A57981And doth not Mr H. speak as unpleasantly?
A57981And doth the gates of Hell prevail against such believers?
A57981And how could there be administrating of the seals without any jurisdiction at all to debar the unworthy?
A57981And may not a brother of the same Church refuse to hear also, and depart the place?
A57981And should not the Lord have framed the like providence, that professors of Christ meet in day- light in congregational assemblies?
A57981And so this Church void of Officers, must be to our brethren, the first and principal subject of all Government, Rule, Keyes, Officers, and what not?
A57981And what can our Paper- industry adde to the spotless truth of our Lord Iesus?
A57981And what is that part which is excepted?
A57981And where the Church of believers, without the stars and torches, is called The light of the world?
A57981And who teaches any such thing, and against whom doth M. Hooker dispute?
A57981Are all Apostles?
A57981Are not all pastors either Apostolick or extraordinary or ordinary the same pastors in nature and essence?
A57981Are not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Christians judged by us?
A57981B. is made a Pastor indefinitly, and the Pastor of such a people only?
A57981But 1. are private men successors of the Apostles, to plant Churches among the heathen?
A57981But 1. as Mr Hooker bringeth citations from Mr Answorth, Mr Robinson, why doth he not from his own writings bring the like?
A57981But 1. was he not thy brother before thou wast inchurched into one Congregation with him?
A57981But I ask, may she put forth a certain act of matrimonial love, or perform a certain matrimonial duty to all men on earth?
A57981But I pray you are Turks such as love God and keep his commandments?
A57981But did Mr. H. believe his Topick probabilities would be received for demonstrations?
A57981But have not some private men brought the Gospel to heathens?
A57981But is not professed willingnesse in murtherers of Christ, who said, What shall we doe to be saved, some practicall reformation?
A57981But is not the Apostle a pastor, and an excellent one to preach and tender the Seals, as well as the pastor?
A57981But the question is, Who are fit matter, having right to Ordinances in the account of Rulers and the Church, whether they have true right or not?
A57981But their question was, Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved eternally, and to be Members of the invisible Church?
A57981But these words( what shall we doe?)
A57981But what follows?
A57981But what if the Elders meet and confer this pow ● r of sole Iurisdiction upon one man, and make him more then a Moderator?
A57981But what if they will not submit?
A57981But what then?
A57981But where then( saith Mr. H.) shall we stand, how shall it be conveyed to remote parents?
A57981But who put him in that state, if he be not really and formally cast out of that body, when his own Church excommunicates him?
A57981But, 1. Who gives our brother leave to leap from one signification of the Church Catholick of the visible Saints to the new male Church?
A57981By Mr. R. his way, you have the testimony of the Church only which did excommunicate?
A57981By the Keyes he must mean both the Keyes of Knowledge and of Jurisdiction: But what Scripture gives the pastoral Key to unofficed Brethren?
A57981By what Scripture can any power of the Keyes given by Christ onely to the Church of believers, be given to separable adjuncts of the Church?
A57981By what Scripture?
A57981By what shadow of Scripture or Reason is this said?
A57981Church which excommunicates?
A57981Destroy the whole( saith he) and you destroy the parts; but it holds not, contrariwise: why not contrariwise?
A57981Dicant mihi, cui sancto secundum salutem spiritualē obsuerit, vel in sacerdotibus, vel inter populum coustituto, malus aut maculatus sacerdos?
A57981Did Ananias and Sapphira either continue stedfastly, or take themselves engaged by Church- covenant?
A57981Did Mr. H. believe a judicious Reader would, or Mr. H. should pass his judgment of such toyes as these?
A57981Didoclavius told him thus, but what then?
A57981Doth a Corporation, when they put out a wicked Magistrate out of his place, therefore destroy their own Liberties, and nullifie their Corporation?
A57981Doth not Cyprian divide the Church in stantes& la psos?
A57981Doth not the expostulation intimate a taxing of these by whose connivance he came in?
A57981Doth not then M. H. clothe women with a Church- power?
A57981Erat ne Ecclesia Carthaginensis Ecclesia, an non erat?
A57981Ergo, the people gives power of being Apostles, Pastors, to men who were not Apostles and Pastors before?
A57981Ever taught, that the male- Churches of a congregation, are the onely Churches who send Commissioners to an Occumenick Councel?
A57981Every particular Elder can, and doth put forth general actions that are common to other Elders: Why?
A57981For when the head is filled with topicks, and none of the flamings of Christs love in the heart, how dry are all disputes?
A57981Friend, how ca ● ● st thou in hither?
A57981Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment?
A57981Hence a new Quaere, Whether there be two different Church- covenants?
A57981Here it is an integral part; is an integral part an adjunct?
A57981Hooker moves the question, whether such a company be a Church indeed?
A57981How can Mr. H. speak of a pattern of Oecumenick Councels, and claim kindred to our Divines against Papists?
A57981How could ye baptize Pagans?
A57981How have hypocritical Professors right to the Seals?
A57981How is Mr. Robinson now cleared if it be said ay?
A57981How is it now( 1) You teach, exhort, rebuke, comfort them, and you have no Pastorall call to them more then to Pagans?
A57981How is it proved that there is a blank in the Ministry, except Pastors both teach and rule these same persons?
A57981How is it proved?
A57981How is it that you once baptized them Church- members and within the Covenant, and so baptized them but for the foresaid want?
A57981How often would I have gathered you?
A57981How shall our brethren make it out that the bad noteth the latent hypocrites only, that are not seen, because they are under the water?
A57981How then can they have virtual influence of some spiritual operation from the head?
A57981How then doth the Churches of New England refuse multitudes whom they know to be baptized, and came from England to be Church- members?
A57981How unjust is it to accuse the Wisedom of God for this sinful folly of men?
A57981How watery is this L ● gick?
A57981I pray our Brethren, do the Fathers mean the Church of visible Saints, the multitude of Believers?
A57981I pray you, remains there a ministerial or organick body?
A57981If Mr. R. had said, visibleness may be considered as invisibleness, Mr. H. should have better Logick; why is it a contradiction?
A57981If any of Israel goodwell in another city or town, where another Priest shall teach, is it in his choice to be taught by that Priest or not?
A57981If the former be said, why contend we?
A57981If the meaning be, that the congregations meeting in the same place, contend not among themselves; what if they so should do?
A57981Is his wisedom darkned, though all become vain and foolish in their imaginations?
A57981Is it to Peter or John?
A57981Is not Christ walking beside the golden Candlesticks here as at home?
A57981Is not a subject a subject, though the adjunct be not there?
A57981Is not here an irregular separating of ruling from teaching?
A57981Is not this by Mr. H. his own doctrine, to quit the argument, when it undoes his own cause, and to say the comparison of husband& wife is blasphemous?
A57981Is not this strange?
A57981Is not this to cavil at the Lords words, not at us?
A57981Is that Promise, L ● I am with you to the end of the world, left by Christ to private men?
A57981Is this axiome neither safe not sound?
A57981Is this good moral Philosophy of Mr. H?
A57981It is a naughty argument to prove that Baptism is a separable accident of the covenant: why?
A57981Lastly, it is poor to say, How come hypocritical Professors to have right to the Seals?
A57981Let Mr. H. shew how the Church without the Minister is called the golden candlestick?
A57981M. H. Would you see a Pastor that hath the formal essence of a Pastor, and yet never did, nor is bound to preach?
A57981M. R. yields the causes while he granteth the wicked are forbidden, what to be Church members?
A57981Many people and nations shall go, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lords house: how shall the visible mountain be known?
A57981May I not then rebuke, but hate brethren of another congregation?
A57981Mr. H. How comes it this Church hath power over this person, which another Church hath not, but from some speciall engagement?
A57981Mr. H. Ruling Elders do not effectually( he should say effectively, as I do, which is a far other term) apply the word in the external Court: why?
A57981Mr. H. To what principal subject hath the Lord( saith Mr. R.) given reason, and the faculty of discoursing?
A57981Mr. H. We allow of no Pastors ordained without a certain flock( saith Mr. R.) I reply( saith Mr. H) Quid verba sudiam, cum videam facta?
A57981Mr. H. Where shall we stand if a thousand generations have interest in Baptism?
A57981Mr. H. and Mr. Best will have them to be pastors different in nature; why?
A57981My brethren, swear not, does he not forbid women to swear?
A57981Nonne cum parvulus esses in oculis tuis caput factus es in tribibus Israel?
A57981Nonne ii qui docent in ecclesia, ut singulari aliqua ratione mittantur, opus habent?
A57981Nor is there any warrant to think that they all asked, what shall we doe?
A57981Now how ordinary is it, that God is the Rock of his Saints?
A57981Pastors doe either as pastors called of God preach to Church- members, to convert them?
A57981Pertinacy in a scandal marrs approved piety; but because they approve not your way, are they therefore pertinacious?
A57981Petilianus said, What hath righteousness to do with unrighteousness?
A57981Quae enim participatio justitiae cum iniquitate?
A57981Quid in prophetis quā multa,& quam manifesta sunt testimonia ecclesiae per omnes Gentes toto orbe terrarum diffusae?
A57981Quis nostrum dicit esse participationem talem si Iudas& Petrus pariter Sacramentum communicent?
A57981Saith the Text that, or Mr. H. onely?
A57981Sed cur ipse in ipso populo immunditiam, quam graviter arguebat, in una cum iis congregatione tangebat?
A57981Shall it follow, That the officers without the people, or governing without, yea contrary to their consent, is a true visible Church?
A57981Shall they not share of the anointing, because they are not Members of the single Congregation?
A57981Shall we accuse the Ordinances, the Gospel and Seals, because God attains not the end, the Salvation of the hearers?
A57981Shall women therefore be made new ordinances of God?
A57981Should a man be admitted a Church- officer who is not judged a real convert?
A57981Such quirks become not grave M. H. What is a Synodical Elder?
A57981That it is not pertinent to my purpose, is denied: Why?
A57981That the Church of Corinth was rebuked for not excommunicating the man, is true: But 1. what means he by the Church rebuked?
A57981That the ends of reformation may be attained by the Civil Power only, who can believe?
A57981The Catholick body organical of man, includes all the body and organs of it, head, eyes, mouth, tongue, feet,& c. Now what sense is here?
A57981The Elders can not effectively apply in the Court the Word preached; why?
A57981The evasion of Mr. H. that Christ said, Whom do men say that I am?
A57981The question is now, What is the first subject of the power of the Keys?
A57981Then how can an official power be given to Peter, as he represents this male- Church upon a meer allegiance?
A57981There are not only visible signs, but 1. hearing, 2. saying, Men and brethren what shall we doe?
A57981There is a necessity of vocal Covenant always, if it come nerest to the rule; but where is the rule?
A57981There may be communion of Saints onely within the same congregation, and no communion of Churches: what Scripture is for this?
A57981This fell from a sleeping pen, and what the conclusion is who can tell?
A57981This is Mr. H. his Argument: Are Mr. H. his words Oracles, and Principles that can not be denied?
A57981This opens a gap to endless dissention, the fewer say we have the truth, the other, we have the truth, and who shall be the Iudge?
A57981True, but said he that he was an unbaptized man who had no share in the visible Church?
A57981V. Whether the Congregation as the Congregation doth excommunicate a delinquent?
A57981VVhat Logick is this?
A57981Was ever Scripture so tortured?
A57981Was there breath before there was a living man walking on the earth, or was there a living man walking on the earth, before there was breathing?
A57981Was there not cause, why both they and Israel should lay upon themselves the band of a covenant oath?
A57981Was there not need that four or six congregations should swarm out of six thousands, and six Officers be sent with them?
A57981Wast thou not to eat the same bread with him before as then?
A57981What Church?
A57981What Scripture for this?
A57981What Scripture puts the King in such an Office?
A57981What a mystery of Logick this may be, who is so happy as to divine?
A57981What a poor comfort is it, this profession keeps Peter in office?
A57981What doth it profit, if a man say, he hath faith,& c?
A57981What house could contain them?
A57981What if I say that a Nation as Israel avow the Lord to be their God was typical?
A57981What if he be a Heathen?
A57981What if the firmament fall?
A57981What ignorance exoludeth from Church membership?
A57981What kinde of Logick is this?
A57981What more absurd?
A57981What power?
A57981What ropes can tie the consequent with the antecedent?
A57981What shall we do?
A57981What shall we doe?
A57981What superiority of Jurisdiction hath this or any Moderator or Speaker in Parliament, or Prolocutor in a Synod?
A57981What then hath Mr. H. gained by this Argument?
A57981What then is the Apostles and officers part?
A57981What then shall we do?
A57981What then?
A57981What they are, who can define?
A57981What tyranny of conscience is here?
A57981What warrant for this censure?
A57981What?
A57981What?
A57981When the fraternity excommunicates all their officers, where is the mind and will then?
A57981When there is a contradiction between the two sentences, which of the Judicatures must be supreme?
A57981When ye 〈 ◊ 〉 together to the Church, Was not this to the meeting of men and women, except women be debarred from the Lords Supper?
A57981Where is Mr. H. his Logick now?
A57981Where then is his covenant- right to baptism?
A57981Wherefore my brethren, ye are bec ● me dead to the law by the body of Christ: are not women dead to the law through Christ?
A57981Whether Synods be for counsel and advice only, as our Brethren say?
A57981Whether the invisible Church, and the El ● ct, be the prime subject of the Seals?
A57981Whether there be a whole Catholick integral visible Church?
A57981Who baptized Iohn Baptist?
A57981Who can pray in faith to God in private, but they must engage themselves to God to run, if he draw?
A57981Who doubteth but the government of the Church is committed to others than onely Apostles?
A57981Who ever heard in the Church of Christ many Christs, many Baptismes?
A57981Who gave Mr. H. leave to set up an Antichristian Tabernacle( for so is the Presbytery to him) for an houre, and pull it downe again?
A57981Why doth Mr. H. frame a new instance of his own, and pass by the Lords way?
A57981Why made he not once a Syllogism, or a face of a Consequence?
A57981Why not pastors?
A57981Why not?
A57981Why not?
A57981Why?
A57981Why?
A57981Why?
A57981Will any dream that Chrysostom judgeth that Christ gave this power to the people?
A57981Will it follow, the Embassador speaks to England of England?
A57981Will not Erastians approve this, and say Church- discipline is needless?
A57981Will this prove that voluntary engagement is the formal cause of a visible Church?
A57981With what faith can they preach elsewhere?
A57981am I not to rebuke a trespassing offender of another congregation dwelling within twenty cubits to my door, and being my beloved brother in Christ?
A57981and by what Oracle?
A57981and do they for that rule, as the male- Church?
A57981and except they from experience can conclude, there may be some seeds of some spirituall work of God in the souls of all these people?
A57981and if that be the Church that meets in one place onely, when shall the Church Catholick which Christ loved, and gave himself for, meet?
A57981and if they were heathens, and are now converted, who either did convert them or baptize them?
A57981and insolent and dry when Mr. H. must say, my God is the Rock of this institution of a single independent frame?
A57981and must there be hundreds thousands of Gospel- seals, Keys of the Kingdom, all different in species and nature?
A57981and of the brethren that Paul, Iames, and the Apostles wrote unto?
A57981and shall all be but a rebuke,& such a counsel as one private man giveth to heathen?
A57981and shall they be an Ordinance of Christ distinct from a Congregational Church for that?
A57981and should Mr. H. limit the sense of the Holy Ghost to one single congregation, i. e. submit only to these of your own congregation?
A57981and should they as the Messengers of the Lord of Hosts, with the pastors, carry the Word of God so binding others?
A57981and though it were meant of Church subjection, owe not I Church- subjection to these of another congregation, as to these of my own?
A57981and what greater power can be given to any, then what is given to this Independent Eldership?
A57981and what suits an enlarged heart, and strength against temptations?
A57981and whether are they by Divine Institution so?
A57981and who can pray for faith, and perseverance, but they vow new obedience?
A57981are Ministers, because of their covenant, Ministers to Pagans?
A57981are all New Testament- Levites?
A57981are all Prophets?
A57981are all Teachers?
A57981are not Turks avowed enemies to Christ and the Gospel- covenant?
A57981are they onely no debtors to the flesh?
A57981are women, servants, aged children, nor redeemed, not built on the Rock?
A57981be a covenanted Nation to God?
A57981because not chosen by the people?
A57981c. 22 doctrinae praedicatio est anterius quid Ecclesiâ quid absurdius?
A57981cause; can any charge another to be his servant without mutual engagement?
A57981for so saith Mr. H. Mr. H. What is all this to overthrow the covenant?
A57981for there are no officers as yet: Did every one baptize another?
A57981if the latter, what more had Paul from the given right hand of these Apostles then he had before?
A57981is every Woma ● a Church to another?
A57981is not this a busing of Scripture?
A57981is the eye an adjunct of the organical body?
A57981is the integrity hurt, because a separable adjunct is removed?
A57981is this I pray you, the knowledge of charity, which is fallible, and may mistake?
A57981is to you, and to your children: What?
A57981l. 2. c. 18 Why h ● lyst thou the wicked?
A57981may not the father& the son be in divers congregations?
A57981not until the day of Judgement?
A57981of ordaining by laying on of hands to make men to be Pastors which were none before?
A57981onely to your nearest children?
A57981or did unbaptized members baptize their own Ministers who are yet unbaptized?
A57981or does the faithfulness of God fail, though all men are lyars?
A57981or may I not argue thus with Anabaptists against Mr Hooker?
A57981or onely such brethren of a single congregation justified by faith?
A57981or people hear the pastors elsewhere?
A57981or received the Apostles, and did welcome them?
A57981or speak they of the brethren onely of a single congregation?
A57981or was it not before the men of the Church?
A57981or was there no freedome under the Old Testament, but there is freedome now?
A57981or who called you to take care and watch for their souls who are without, and to you as Pagans?
A57981persecutors do hinder the preaching of the Gospel, shall the preaching of the Gospel for that be no ordinance of God?
A57981shall we seek it in our words, or in the words of her Head the Lord Iesus?
A57981should men have dominion over their faith?
A57981should the ruling Elders lips that way preserve knowledge?
A57981si erat, quero qu ● madmodum( i. e. quo pact ●?)
A57981that must be wanting: and hath not the like of this brought forth among Brownists reciprocal excommunications?
A57981that was never a question to either side, Whether Christ command to cast pearls to known swine?
A57981the people have chosen him, then the Elders must lay on hands suddenly on an heretical Teacher, a Wolf: Why?
A57981were there not women that both yielded to the Persecutors, and denied the truth, and stood to the truth and suffered?
A57981what if he be a Papist, a Socinian?
A57981who should right them, by our Brethrens way?
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?
