A90287	Are indeed these persons any better thēMahumetans as to church priviledges?
A90287	Before I asserted the use of the word, I instanced in all the places where it is used, and evinced the sense of it from them?
A90287	But do I indeed undertake the cause of the Donatists?

A90287	But how doth our gathering of Churches denie them to be true churches?
A90287	But is this done as becomes a Christian, a Minister, a Brother?
A90287	But what doth all this availe him in reference to his designe in hand?

A90287	Thus then he; is not this, reader, at once to unchurch all the churches of England since the reformation?
A90287	What Question doth our Reverend Author meane?
A90287	What hath the Reverend Author to charge upon me with reference thereunto?
A90287	What may I expect from others, when so grave and Reverend a person as this Author is reported to be, shall thus deal with me?
A90287	What then?
A90287	Who told him that raising causlesse differences in a Church, and then separating from it, is not in my judgment schisme?

A90287	did I say I was unwilling?
A90287	did he enquire so far after my mind in them, as without breach of charity to be able to make such positive and expresse assertions concerning them?
A90287	do I anywhere do it upon this account?
A90287	do I at all fix it on this fo ● t of account when I come so to doe?
A90287	do I labour to exempt them from Schisme?
A90287	do I not condemne all their practises, and pretensions from the beginning to the end?
A90287	do I not every where positively deny that there is any such separation made?

A90287	is it possible at once with the same arguments to charge them?
A90287	is not their circumcision uncircūcision?
A90287	is not their obedience to that command, their consent so to do?
A90287	is this consent any thing but his voluntary submission to the ordinances of worship therein?
A90287	it is true there is mention of a church at Cenchrea, but is there any mention that that church made any separation from the church of Corinth?
A90287	nay can common honesty allow such a state of a question, if that were the businesse in hand to be put upon me?
A90287	or is every breach of Union schisme?
A90287	or that the differences mention''d were between the members of these severall churches?
A90287	shall such persons give their children any right to church priviledges?
A90287	that I condemn all other Churches in the world as no Churches; but who I pray told him these things?
A90287	though it were valid in its administration, that is, was celebrated in obedience to the cōmād of Christ, is it not null to thē?
A90287	to be that great multitude who throughout the world, professe the Doctrine of the Gospell, and subjection to Jesus Christ?
A90287	was it at all incumbent on me, to prove that they did not manage their differences in private, as well as in publick?
A90287	was not this acknowledged above?
A90287	were not separations made, if not from that church, yet in that church as well as divisions?
A90287	were there not divisions into parties as well as in judgments?
A90287	what then?
A90287	when, wherein, by what meanes have I opposed it?
A90287	why then should they be denied their liberty?
A90287	will he manifest it by saying more against them in no more words, then I haved one?
A78034	* Grolls?
A78034	A Christian Church out of the Jewes Synagogue?
A78034	A Wheele- barrow( such as they trundle White- wine- vinegar on) fitter for them then a Coach?
A78034	All the Independents put together, have not so much learning as any one of a thousand other Ministers?
A78034	And a quondam- fellow- sufferer too?
A78034	And can you prove all those Parishes, out of which Churches are so gathered, as you say, to be Assemblies of believers?
A78034	And did Pauls, and the Apostles doctrine escape the scourge of this whip?
A78034	And doe you not know, that the ancient Church of the Jewes was then a Church, when the Apostles by their preaching gathered a Church out of it?
A78034	And doe you not no lesse oppose, vilifie, disgrace, jeare, and scoffe at their persons?
A78034	And for Churches, doe you, Brother, limit Churches to Parishes?
A78034	And have more then one done it?
A78034	And have we not all taken the solemne Covenant to reform our selves and others, according to the word of God?
A78034	And if all Churches in one Oecumenicall Councell, as one Church, be Dependent, then whereupon Dependent?
A78034	And is it so indeed?
A78034	And must Christ have no other doctrine or Church- government in the world, then that which is set up by the worlds authoritie?
A78034	And so, what if they stiffly maintain a most damnable and destructive herefie, which overthroweth a main principall and fundamentall of faith?
A78034	And the time of this first gathering, was it not then, when the old service and ceremonies were in use?
A78034	And therefore seeing such things are objected, how doth it concerne both Ministers and people to looke to their evidences?
A78034	And to endeavour to our power, to extirpate and roote out all Popery, Prelacy, Idolatry and Superstition out of this Kingdome?
A78034	And what if the higher the worse?
A78034	And what one?
A78034	And who hath gathered these Churches?
A78034	And( I pray) what harm in that?
A78034	Are there not a number of both ignorant and scandalous, that are not fit to come to the Lords Table?
A78034	As Peter and John answered, Why looke yee so on us?
A78034	Brother, What''s become, I say not of your brotherhood, but of your manhood?
A78034	But Brother, who is this you speake of?
A78034	But can a few, at least some Nathaniels, among so many, carry the matters by vote, if they be many that contra- vote?
A78034	But come we to the highest of all, a generall Counsell of all the Churches in the world: is this now, a Church Dependent, or Independent?
A78034	But doe the Independents accuse your Booke, as worthy to be burnt by the common hangman, and that you are crased in your braine?
A78034	But doe they professe the butchery of the Presbyterians?
A78034	But how comes it to passe, that my two fellow- sufferers, and my selfe, should fall at this odds?
A78034	But in the interim, to return to your Converts; Do you hold all them to be converts, from among whom churches are gathered?
A78034	But is it in any more then one onely frontispice?
A78034	But must that needs be heresie, which you account heresie?
A78034	But tell me, Brother ▪ who is it ▪ that doth this?
A78034	But you alledge that of Cornelius sending to Joppa for Peter, he sent not( say you) to the Church of Corinth; true, and what then?
A78034	Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
A78034	Despisers of Magistracy?
A78034	Did this protestation( trow you) cleare him from being a notorious, yea, unparalleld Persecutor?
A78034	Do you imply here the lawfulnesse of the matter of gathering, by questioning onely the manner?
A78034	Do you not allow of a difference to be put?
A78034	Doe you not call them* Beasts?
A78034	Doth he rather withdraw from the Ordinance, then he can endure to see it so prophaned, and so partake with the prophaners?
A78034	Ergo, are all Popish Parishes, Assemblies of Believers?
A78034	Et tu Brute?
A78034	Good now tell me, what church either Parochiall, or Classicall, I should go unto?
A78034	Have we all the Pulpits in the Kingdome?
A78034	Moone- calves?
A78034	Nay, doth it not stand with very good reason, that they who are to walk together, should first be agreed together?
A78034	No?
A78034	Now did ever proceed out of the mouth of a quondam- Martyr, and one newly brought out of a balefull prison, such a fiery breath as this?
A78034	Now if you have not a good Presbytery, where shall he goe to complaine?
A78034	Now is all this no opposing of the Persons of those you call Independents?
A78034	Now, did I ever so perswade the people, or make them believe so?
A78034	Old geese?
A78034	Or are there not( trow you) many Parishes in England, where, perhaps but a few true converts are to be found?
A78034	Or did the distance of the two Pillaries boad any such distance in our present judgements?
A78034	Or did you thinke to cover your selfe with your owne Cobweb, that the palpable nakedness of your shiftless and shameless affront should not be seene?
A78034	Or do you make every parish to be a Church?
A78034	Or if they doe truly preach it, why doe they not practise it, and perswade the people to depend upon Christ for it, and not upon men?
A78034	Or is it a Dependent on it selfe?
A78034	Or that noveltie, which appeares so to those that measure things rather by custome, then truth?
A78034	Puffoists?
A78034	See the Directory: Or do you take the greatest number in England to be godly, and truly converted?
A78034	Sticklers against Parliament and Presbytery?
A78034	Stirring up all along Magistrates and People to cut them off?
A78034	They?
A78034	Thinke not that I am come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword,& c. Well: what of this?
A78034	Use a Brother so?
A78034	What if they not only not believe, but deny and disclaime Christs Kingly Prerogative?
A78034	What if you finde so many hundred Parishes in England, whose Inhabitants both Ministers and people are all Malignants, or popishly- affected?
A78034	What is to be done?
A78034	What say you of that precedent of the Apostles, who in the Temple daily preached a diversed doctrine, to that of the Pharisees?
A78034	What they?
A78034	What thinke you of the like speech the late Prelate of Canterbury used in his* Booke to the King?
A78034	What?
A78034	Whereon then?
A78034	Who are we that you should thus charge us?
A78034	Who hath done thus?
A78034	Why Brother, doe you not know this to be a time of Reformation?
A78034	Why, Brother, what needed all these periphrases and circumlocutions?
A78034	Wild geese?
A78034	Will you have those Parishes to be so many Churches, and those popish Malignants, so many believers?
A78034	Yea,& to take him so disgracefully by his white beard too,& that with a scurrilous Epithet, calling it* a great white ba ● ket- hilted beard?
A78034	a company of Jugglers?
A78034	a company of ratts among joyn''d stooles?
A78034	a generation of cunning and crafty jugglers?
A78034	a generation of men, not worthy to give guts to a Beare?
A78034	and fighters against God?
A78034	and what not?
A78034	as having been formerly known for an open enemy and persecutor of the Church, and so justly to be suspected, till publique evidence by witnesse given?
A78034	cunning deceivers?
A78034	making them odious to the Scots?
A78034	speaking nothing but daggers, and daring?
A78034	the most dangerous sect that ever yet the world produced?
A78034	violaters of all the lawes of God and Nature?
A88948	1 So our Saviour spake the word unto those people?
A88948	10. of Gods sending ▪ and so doth Piscator, and who not?
A88948	17?
A88948	188 l. 1. where t is said, the Princes and heads of tribes laid hands on them: now what were these Princes and heads of tribes, but magistrates?
A88948	3?
A88948	5. why is not the place quoted, where we doe bring them?
A88948	Again, suppose what here is affirmed were also sufficiently confirmed, how is the point in question proved hereby?
A88948	Againe, if Luther did so appeale, why is no proof alledged for Confirmation of what here is affirmed?
A88948	And if it be so in Commonwealths, and families, why may wee not say the same of Churches?
A88948	And if they Prophesyed not all in one Assem ● ly but divers, how could the unbeleever bee convinced and judged by them all?
A88948	And if this be true of a Church that is alone, shall we thinke it is not true of a Church that hath neighbours?
A88948	And if three Iudges had power of life and death, why may not a Congregation with three Elders have power of Excommunication?
A88948	And is it true indeed, that this place doth evince the contrary?
A88948	And may it not also fall out in a Provinc ● all Synod, and in a Classis or Presbtytery of many Churches?
A88948	And serving for excellent ends, as well as Discipline doth?
A88948	And that Ieroboam did not only sinne, but made Israel to sinne?
A88948	And that the people there were not present?
A88948	And what if they meet for prayer also, what if for the Word and Prayer without Sacraments, for this or that time?
A88948	And what of this?
A88948	And who gave them such Authority to Excommunicate Pagans, or men of another Nation, being only there present at that time occasionally?
A88948	And yet I can not see but this must be said, if both the other sayings stand good?
A88948	Answ, And what of all this?
A88948	Are not Sacraments necessary to the well- being of the Church, as being commanded in the word, as well as Discipline is?
A88948	Are there any such words as here he sets down?
A88948	Are they so many in Spain, in Italy, in Turkey at this day?
A88948	Are those things duties, which are in nature impossible?
A88948	Are we then agreed, that in scripture language the word Church is sundry times given to a single Congregation?
A88948	Be it a matter of Discipline, or a matter that concerned all the Churches, or what else Mr. Rutherford will have it?
A88948	But can any man inferre from hence, that the Church thus rebuking another Church hath power to Excommunicate that other Church?
A88948	But doth hee make it a note of many Congregations in one Church at Ierusalem?
A88948	But doth not M. Rutherford prove that the one Church at Ephesus was more then one Congregation?
A88948	But doth our Brother cleere this?
A88948	But if this were granted in the sense expressed, must it needs follow that they imposed hands as Elders, and as Elders by office too?
A88948	But is it so indeed as our Brother affirmeth, that none of them do teach that it is against the light of Nature that the adverse party be the judge?
A88948	But it is not easie to see how they choose a man for a Minister to themselves, being sent unto them by God?
A88948	But why are we not certified what Iudicatures are to be accounted Exotique and Forraigne?
A88948	But why is not the whole Church the whole much people that beleeved?
A88948	But why must these foure particulars be proved?
A88948	But will it follow hereupon that one particular Christian hath power to Excommunicate another in case of Obstinacy?
A88948	Can a man sustain no relation, but all his actions must be actions of that relation?
A88948	Can any man imagine they would thus have spoken, if themselves had already found out the men, and likewise had imposed hands upon them?
A88948	Can not a man be an husband, or a parent,& c. but his actions of plowing sowing,& c. must needs be performed by him, as he is a husband, or parent?
A88948	Can one Epistle be delivered to sundry or severall assemblies at one time?
A88948	Can our ● ● ● ● ing be one thing, and our mind another?
A88948	Counsell and advise may be administred and given by them, who have also power to command?
A88948	Doth he prove the contrary to what is here affirmed by us?
A88948	Doth right in one Person or Assembly to end their ma ● ● ers if they be able, extempt them from being under the command of others?
A88948	Doth the accession of neighbours to a Congregation take away from such a Congregation the essence of a Church which it had before?
A88948	Else why should these be objected, and answered as ours?
A88948	Else, else what?
A88948	First he saith, Appeales being warranted by the Counsell which Iethro gave to Moses — can not but be naturall?
A88948	For Timothy being an Evangelist, how could any ordinary Presbytery have authority over him, or give office or authority to him?
A88948	For can it be denyed but such a Congregation is a Church, as well as the other?
A88948	For may not as much bee said of them as here is said of Discipline?
A88948	For were they so many in England in the dayes of Queen Mary?
A88948	For what great difference is there between a sign of prayer and a benedictory signe?
A88948	For what though a Concionall rebuking be performed by one, and a Iuridicall by many?
A88948	For who knoweth not that there might be a numerous multitude, and yet but one Congregation?
A88948	For why may there not bee appeales from them in whom no independen ● ie of Policie is seated?
A88948	Have we delivered any such thing, that Antioch had right to determine against the truth?
A88948	How can that be?
A88948	How is it cleere that the greatst part of the Church at Antioch was against the truth?
A88948	How is this I say made good by affirming, that neither the Congregation nor the Synod is the highest?
A88948	How shall we be sure that those who laid on hands were the first born?
A88948	I mean not onely by themselves; but also by others, who are farre more in number then they?
A88948	I suppose it is easie to see the insufficiency and invalidity of such Consequences?
A88948	If any aske why may not this Consequence be owned?
A88948	If it be not, how is our Tenent removed?
A88948	If it be our meaning, how can it be hoped that we do not mind it?
A88948	If it be said they may, I would know: quo jure?
A88948	If it was nothing but a signe of praying over then, then why is a consummatory rite and a benedictory signe gainsaid and opposed?
A88948	If our Brother intend it not for a removall thereof, why is it brought in for answer to an Objection proposed by himselfe as ours?
A88948	If that saying of ours be not sound, why doth he not returne some answer?
A88948	If the Elders were but a part of the first born, then how could all the first born be Elders by office?
A88948	If there must be an highest, must it needs be yeelded that the Synod and not the Congregation is that highest?
A88948	If this be a duty, it is more then I yet understand?
A88948	If this follow not, what needs it?
A88948	Is meant Discipline?
A88948	Is there any necessary or clear consequence in such a proposition?
A88948	Is there any such necessary consequence here, that the one of these must needs follow upon the other?
A88948	Is there in this any thing at all that doth make for the removall of our opinion, as himselfe hath see it down in his Objection?
A88948	Is there no rebuking of offenders for their faults, but only in a way of ● ● ● ● ction and Discipline?
A88948	Is this Consequence strong and cleere?
A88948	Is this good arguing, appeales to exotique Indicatures are not warrantable, Ergo a Synod and not the Congregation is the supreame Iudicature?
A88948	It must then be the consequence that must be denyed, or the conclusion must be yeelded: what then brings he to overthrow the consequence?
A88948	Let this be granted also, and are we ever a whit neerer to the point, then before?
A88948	Let this be granted also, and are we not still where we were before?
A88948	May it not neverthelesse be denyed that this rebuking was any other then in a Doctrinall way?
A88948	May not his reader be induced hereby to think that we had spoken otherwise?
A88948	Must we prove a negative: and is that saying, Affirmanti incumbit ● ● us probandi, now become unreasonable, unnecessary, or of no force?
A88948	Neither formally, nor virtually?
A88948	None will you say?
A88948	Nothing lesse: for how can our Brother prove that it lyes in the one and not in the other, by saying as here he doth, that indeed it lyes in neither?
A88948	Now how shall it appeare that any such Independent supream power of jurisdiction is given to any of those Presbyteries?
A88948	Now if Sacraments be thus excellent and effectuall, how is it that in the place wee have in hand, Discipline is made more necessary then they?
A88948	Now if this be all the necessity that is in Discipline, how is Discipline more necessary then Sacraments?
A88948	Now if this multitude was gathered together not in one assembly but diverse, how could the Epistle being but one, be delivered to them all?
A88948	Now if this reasoning be good from one Act to all, why is no this as good, from all to any one or to some one?
A88948	Now to what end was thus much disputation, if they had no right to determine the matter?
A88948	Now what answer doth he returne to this passage?
A88948	Now what doth our Reverend Brother returne in his Answer?
A88948	Now what have we said in this matter?
A88948	Now what saith Mr. Rutherford hereunto?
A88948	Now what saith Mr. Rutherford to this?
A88948	Now what shall be said or done in this ● ase?
A88948	Or any words equivalent thereto?
A88948	Or did they not transgresse their line in attempting what they did attempt?
A88948	Or doth he so much as once attempt the cleering thereof?
A88948	Or doth the place make any mention of Church- power, and Church government at all?
A88948	Or how is that Consequence made good, that if there must be appeales till we come to the highest, then the Synod is the highest?
A88948	Or how will it be avoided but by the like reason, one Elder alone may Excommunicate in case there be no other Elders to joyne with him?
A88948	Or how will it follow, if a Church shall abuse their power, that other Churches in such eases may take away the power from such a Church?
A88948	Or if housholdere have such right, doth it follow that therefore they are under no command, in Church and Common- wealth?
A88948	Or is there so much as one word that looketh that way?
A88948	Or shall we say that they who want ability to doe things as they should be done, do therefore want right to ● ● al ● in them at all?
A88948	Or shall wee say it is not so much?
A88948	Sat magistrabiter: would it not do well first to disprove and confute, and then to censure, rather then to censure first?
A88948	Shall the Congregation now have the free exercise of its power, or shall it not?
A88948	Shall we say the whole Church is more then the people that beleeved?
A88948	Shall we thinke the offence fals not within our Saviours remed or complaint or Appeale here?
A88948	Suppose a Congregation have an incompleate power when they have neighbours, how shall it appeare that when they are alone their power is now compleat?
A88948	Suppose it were a meeting for matter of Discipline, must it needs be a meeting for Elders alone, without the presence of the faithfull?
A88948	Suppose the case were extraordinary and rare, may they violate the ordinary rules of Christ?
A88948	Suppose this be so, what can there be concluded hence, that makes against us?
A88948	Take Ordination as we do, and why can not this be?
A88948	That that remedie of our Saviour, Tell the Church, is not needfull in any Church above a Nationall?
A88948	That the Church at Corinth did not all meet in one Congregation: How shall we be assured that such a thing is evinced by the place?
A88948	The Consequence is not cleere, for who knoweth not that there may be power to rebuke, where there is no power of Excommunication?
A88948	The people have not either formally or by grant of Christ virtually, the keyes committed to them, how then can they give the keyes to Pastors?
A88948	These are our words in the place alledged by Mr. Rutherford: now what doth he answer thereto?
A88948	This sence of the place must needs bee received, else how shall the Apostles words bee reconciled and stand together?
A88948	To what end therefore was it to make shew of removing or weakening what he had said, sith when it comes to the issue, he plainly concurs with us?
A88948	True say they, they come together, but how?
A88948	We have a little sister, what shall we do for her?
A88948	We say, that if the magistrate be an enemy to Religion, may not the Church without him conveen and renew a Covenant with God?
A88948	What if ten Brethren offend the whole or part?
A88948	Whence doth it seeme that we do so make it?
A88948	Why may wee not say, there must bee liberty of Appeales from all Synods and Presbyteries, except onely the generall Councill?
A88948	Will Mr. Rutherford deny it to be l ● wfull for any to be present at matters of Discipline, but onely the Elders?
A88948	and if they were Princes and Magistrates how could they be considered in this act as Ecclesiasticall Elders?
A88948	can not appeales be Naturall, but the supremacie of Synods over Congregations must needs follow?
A88948	do they fall short of their duty, if they do not thus assemble, and impose the Covenant?
A88948	doth it not plainly appear hereby, that more then Elders, even all the Saints in those places are written unto in those Epistles?
A88948	doth not the Scripture say, that when Rehoboam, forsook the Lord, all Israel did the same with him?
A88948	doth this strongly overthrow that saying, which was censured for so weak?
A88948	may not one and the same Church assemble for diverse ends and actions?
A88948	might they not better have spared their paines?
A88948	or how doth it therfore follow that Imposition of hands was not a consummatory rite or benedictory signe, but somthing more?
A88948	or if all the first born were by office Elders, then how could the Elders be but a part of the first born?
A88948	or was it to make his confutation of us more easie, then it would have been, if our own words had been retained and kept?
A88948	th Objection, as that which he undertakes to answer?
A88948	was this to burden our opinion or apprehension with a greater odium then our words in his own judgement will beare?
A88948	were they so many in Scotland in the dayes of popish Princes, afore the reformation?
A88948	what if they meet for the admission of members also, or for censuring delinquents?
A88948	what should hinder but the peoples election might contain the substance of a Ministers calling notwithstanding?
A88948	where are the texts of Scripture that speak of such power?
A88948	yea, possibly for diverse upon one day?
A43583	''t is said, that Hezekiah wept sore: Why so?
A43583	Affliction is Gods Physick, which makes sick, but prepares for sweet health; and shall we frustrate Gods ends in this also?
A43583	Ah, Sirs, what think you?
A43583	Alas what have any of us, but what we have received?
A43583	Alas, Sirs, is Eternity nothing with you?
A43583	Alas, what Merit, either of congruity or condignity, can there be in Man to obtain Heaven?
A43583	Alas, what is Heaven to us unless we be fit for it?
A43583	Alas, what loveliness could God see or foresee in us to make us Children, then heirs of God, joynt- heirs with Christ?
A43583	Alas, what should a Fool do with a great Estate?
A43583	Alas, will you trust the Fiend of Hell to bring you to Heaven?
A43583	Am I an adopted child of God?
A43583	Am I converted to God, and brought through the pangs of regeneration?
A43583	Am I justified?
A43583	And are not they fools that trust these, and will not try by the word what they affirm?
A43583	And are these think you, fit for this Heavenly imployment to all Eternity?
A43583	And are you content to do so in temporals?
A43583	And are you not certain whether you do enter by death into eternal happiness or misery, and yet can you be quiet?
A43583	And can we have that comfort and confidence in meeting the Bridegroom of our Souls as is fit?
A43583	And can we think God will carry them to Heaven that never struck a right stroke, or never did one hours work for God, that he would accept?
A43583	And can you think to escape the strict tryal of the omniscient God?
A43583	And have not such dayes and duties been solemn heart- melting opportunities?
A43583	And have you solemnly and faithfully tryed your title to Heaven?
A43583	And have you the Spirit of his Son in your hearts to cry Abba Father?
A43583	And if God glorifie his Justice in thy confusion, thy mouth is stopped, and thou must justifie him for ever with flames about thine Eares?
A43583	And if thou be conscious of giving them just occasion, thou confessest thy fault and humblest thy self to them?
A43583	And if you feel unruly motions, can you pray them down, and through grace calm them?
A43583	And indeed to what purpose should they or we live, when our work is done?
A43583	And is not every Mercy sweetened by thankfulness?
A43583	And is not thankfulness a natural duty?
A43583	And must he falsifie his word to gratifie you?
A43583	And the Haven to the weather- beaten Mariner?
A43583	And this thou canst truly say, that God is more thy exceeding joy, and Christ more precious to thy Soul then ever?
A43583	And thou canst not be quiet till thou seekest Reconciliation?
A43583	And what bold intruder art thou, that darest expect to claim such an Inheritance as Heaven without the relation of a Son?
A43583	And will you madly venture your immortal Souls on such grounds as you dare not try?
A43583	Are Heaven and Hell bug- bears, or meer imaginations of brain- sick fools?
A43583	Are not thy affections more spiritualized towards dearest Relations?
A43583	Are not your hearts treacherous?
A43583	Are we not ashamed of our loytering and lagging behind?
A43583	Are you for Heaven or Hell?
A43583	Are you not more endeared to Saints as Saints, though poor, or disobliging, and of a different perswasion?
A43583	Art thou a child of God or a child of the Devil?
A43583	Art thou not more glad when corruptions are mortified then gratified?
A43583	Art thou not more taken up with Gods Mercies, to give him the glory of them, then any personal content thou hast in them?
A43583	Besides, I stand upon habitual meetness chiefly: What art thou man in point of state?
A43583	But I said, how shall I put thee among the Children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of Nations?
A43583	But how come they by this high Honour?
A43583	But if there be no such change,( as I doubt there is not) how can I be quiet?
A43583	But is this a making meet for Heaven or Hell?
A43583	But was not dying upon the Cross for the sins of Men a principal piece of Christs work?
A43583	But what are we better unless we be partners of this priviledge?
A43583	But what is the marrow and main design of this Gospel- revelation?
A43583	But what proportion can the best Services of the best Men bear to this Eternal Reward?
A43583	But you will say, is none meet for Heaven but such as have assurance?
A43583	Can I follow the Rules and prescriptions that my Lord hath laid down; To deny my self, take up his Cross and follow him?
A43583	Can rational persons think to escape the ditch by winking?
A43583	Can the sin- revenging God and the guilty sinner hold intimate correspondence till they be reconciled?
A43583	Can these poor fig- leaves of temporary Righteousness secure you from divine Vengeance?
A43583	Can you be content to stand by that another day, that you dare not put to the tryal here?
A43583	Can you charm a Beast with Musick?
A43583	Can you imagine God will deface or lay aside his immaculate Holiness, to take you from the Swine- sty into his holy Sanctuary?
A43583	Can you imagine that our Lord Jesus( who is the door- keeper keeper of Heaven) will admit any but those that he saith he will entertain?
A43583	Can you not sink your selves low enough?
A43583	Can you think to wrest Heaven out of Gods hands whether he will or not?
A43583	Canst thou not more rejoyce in the gifts, graces, holiness, usefulness of others, though it obscure thine?
A43583	Committing all to God, thou findest provisions have been strangely made?
A43583	Consider sinner, whose word shall stand?
A43583	Dare you so directly contradict our blessed Saviour, and give him the lye?
A43583	Dearly Beloved, A Desire after Happiness is so ingraven in the Nature of Man, that it was never put to the debate, whether he would be happy or no?
A43583	Death it self is the day break of eternal brightness to the Child of God; and is not this worth thanking God for?
A43583	Discriminating kindnesses call for the greatest gratitude: What did God see in any of us that might procure for us Heaven?
A43583	Do not publick concerns of Church or Nation lye nearer thy heart daily?
A43583	Do not your hearts eccho back, with your[ probatum est] setting your seal to these things?
A43583	Do those graces within me answer the characters of such in the Scriptures?
A43583	Do we not bring dishonour to God, and discredit to our Religion by our backwardness?
A43583	Do you fill up every vacancy with some useful business for Earth or Heaven?
A43583	Do you not daily depend on God for new Mercies?
A43583	Do you not more concern your selves for the Souls of Relations and others in Prayer and Discourse?
A43583	Do you spend your time better then formerly?
A43583	Do you think such dirty dogs shall ever trample on this golden pavement?
A43583	Do you think there is such a thing as a groundless presumption, or rotten hope that will give up the ghost?
A43583	Dost thou not account thy self the greatest of Sinners, least of Saints, and by the grace of God thou art what thou art?
A43583	Dost thou not delight now in what thou didst disdain?
A43583	Dost thou not love them in the Lord, and the Lord in them, and canst freely part with them upon Gods call?
A43583	Dost thou not more sensibly understand the sweet life of faith in temporals?
A43583	Doth my Soul eccho to the experiences of Saints in the word of God?
A43583	Doth not our slavish fear of death shew thee?
A43583	Doth not the sense of divine love extort from you more tears of godly sorrow, and more vehement hatred of all sin, purely it is offensive to God?
A43583	Drawing out bowels of compassion for and to such as are fallen?
A43583	Give diligence to make your Calling and Election sure: And what then?
A43583	God is merciful, but he is also just; Christ dyed for sinners, but do you imagine all shall be saved by him?
A43583	Gods or thine?
A43583	Hast thou not changed thy company, courses, manner of life?
A43583	Hast thou not experienced a change from Nature to Grace, from Death to Life?
A43583	Hast thou not learned more faithfully and discreetly to manage the duty of private admonition of an offending Christian?
A43583	Hast thou not seen thy woful state by Nature?
A43583	Hast thou not the things that accompany Salvation?
A43583	Hast thou that renovation that necessarily accompanies Salvation?
A43583	Hath Christ come into the world to no purpose?
A43583	Hath he not told us in his infallible word who shall be saved, and who shall be damned; and will you believe God or your own self deluding hearts?
A43583	Hath not God been dealing with thy heart, as he useth to deal with such as he designs for Heaven?
A43583	Hath not God helpt you to be dispatching your work off your hands, Spiritual, Temporal, Relative and Publick?
A43583	Hath not this new birth cost thee griefs and groans, prayers and tears?
A43583	Hath not your Faith been more vigorous in its actings upon your dear Lord?
A43583	Have I made a covenant with God, and taken God for my God, and given my self to him?
A43583	Have I the essential characters of a Christian?
A43583	Have not many young ones and others out- stript us, and are got to Heaven, that set out after us?
A43583	Have they a good Title to it?
A43583	Have we any greater matters to mind?
A43583	Have you not been more constant and inlarged in the duty of secret Prayer, with shorter intermissions and more favouriness?
A43583	Have you not been more frequent and serious in renewing your Covenant with God?
A43583	Have you not got power over your Passions, to regulate them?
A43583	Have you not more incomes of grace and assistance in duties both as to matter and manner?
A43583	Have you not taken all for granted without a serious proving of your state, meerly because you would have it so?
A43583	How can they dispatch their work, that never begun it to purpose?
A43583	How can they evidence a title to Heaven that have none?
A43583	How can you own God in the next strait, that are so much in arrears?
A43583	How do men thankfully celebrate Christs Nativity?
A43583	How is it that thou wilt manifest thy self to us, and not unto the world?
A43583	How is that?
A43583	How is that?
A43583	How long Lord, shall my Soul be at a distance from thee?
A43583	How sweet is home to the weary Traveller?
A43583	How uncertain about our Title to this Inheritance?
A43583	I Answer, in general it must be supposed that you have a title, which is your habitual meetness, or else how can you be assured of it?
A43583	I may find rest?
A43583	If I be, when or how did my Soul pass through the pangs of the new birth?
A43583	If I should come to you one by one, and pose you with this solemn question, Friends whither bound?
A43583	If drink be so refreshing to the thirsty soul, oh how sweet are those rivers of pleasures?
A43583	If it be so pleasant for the Eyes to behold the Sun, how amiable is the Son of Righteousness?
A43583	If it be uncomfortable to us, it will be unprofitable to you?
A43583	If thou think any body is offended by thee, is it not more a real trouble to thee then formerly?
A43583	If you say Soul take thine case, and God say, Devil take his Soul: Whether of these think you, will prevail?
A43583	Impenitency to your sin?
A43583	In closing more fully with promises?
A43583	Is he grown so full of charity to Souls?
A43583	Is it not more the grief of thy heart when God is dishonoured, his Spirit grieved, his Gospel reproached by the sins of profane or professours?
A43583	Is not gratitude for Spiritual Mercies, a great evidence of your interest in them?
A43583	Is not the Devil a cheat?
A43583	Is not the Heavenly Inheritance Gods own to give?
A43583	Is not thy heart daily more weary of the world, and longing for Heaven?
A43583	Is not thy principle, rule, end, otherwise then formerly?
A43583	Is not your Repentance more Evangelical?
A43583	Is security your best fence against misery?
A43583	Is the infinite all- seeing God grown so weak or blind that you can couzen or conquer him?
A43583	Is there an Heaven or Hell after this life, or is there not?
A43583	Is there not a reality in Satans temptations, to draw or drive us from God and future happiness?
A43583	It s not as I say, or you say, but as God himself saith; do I say any thing but what the holy God saith in the Bible?
A43583	Let us be ashamed of our slackness; what have we been doing with all that time, these helps and priviledges we have had?
A43583	Let us be glad and rejoyce, and give honour to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his Wife hath made her self ready: But how is she ready?
A43583	May not all be cleansed alike then?
A43583	Must our sweat and labour be in vain?
A43583	Must the Earth be forsaken for thee?
A43583	Must the immutable God falsifie his word to save chee against his will, yea, against thy will?
A43583	Must these be par- boilings for everlasting burnings?
A43583	Must you needs add drunkenness to thirst?
A43583	My grand enquiry is, what must I do to be saved?
A43583	Nay can you be content with an Hell in both worlds?
A43583	Nay is not this a mean to continue them?
A43583	Nay, what did he not see in us to turn his stomach against us?
A43583	Now, Sirs, consider, shall you receive this grace of God in vain?
A43583	O Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
A43583	O grave where is thy victory?
A43583	O no, it will never be: Heaven and Hell will as soon joyn as God and an unregenerate sinner: Will the holy God take such vipers into his bosom?
A43583	O saith the Christian, what shall I do with this untoward heart?
A43583	O saith the believing Soul, if meat be so sweet to an hungry stomach, how much more excellent is Gods loving kindness?
A43583	Object against it and disprove it; but must not the Word of God judge you another day?
A43583	Oh Sirs, do you know what Heaven is?
A43583	Oh Sirs, if you should but look down into that stupendious gulf, what a change would it work in your hearts?
A43583	Oh how unmeet am I for this glorious state or high honour?
A43583	Oh this word for ever is amazing, A godly man in company sate in a deep muse, and being demanded what he was thinking of?
A43583	Or are there no Devils or Spirits, and so by consequence no God?
A43583	Or be mortified to things below, that have their portion in this present life, were never divorced from their lusts, and have no treasure above?
A43583	Or can you bribe him to let you in with fair words or large gifts?
A43583	Or can you bring him to your melody, or make him keep time with your skilful quire?
A43583	Or dare you stand to plead in his face that you are qualified and meet for Heaven, when he tells you, that you are not?
A43583	Or do you think he will admit those that he saith he will keep out?
A43583	Or do you think that the gates of Heaven are as wide as the gates of Hell, or that as many shall be saved as damned?
A43583	Or give this Inheritance of Saints to the Devils slaves?
A43583	Or within us what preparation for Heaven?
A43583	Our Lord himself, cryed dying, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A43583	Peat your fingers off from the world?
A43583	Say with Calvin,[ Vsquequo Domine?]
A43583	Shall all the Ordinances be lost upon you?
A43583	Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee?
A43583	Shall you not be there soon enough?
A43583	Tell not me that thou hast done this or that good work, but art thou savingly converted from sin to God?
A43583	That I have done this or that?
A43583	The former is like some high Mountains, that are above Storms and Clouds, as they say Olympus is clear and beautiful?
A43583	The necessity of Christ and grace?
A43583	Then what shall a poor doubting Soul say of it self, that is dark, and much discouraged as many a good Soul is?
A43583	There''s holy company above of Saints, but they can not abide to be near them on Earth, how then can they like to be associated to them in Heaven?
A43583	These are the astonishing thoughts of a poor doubtful dying Soul: And is this Man meet for Heaven?
A43583	This is Gods way to get assurance: Have I the conditions of Gospel- promises, Faith and Repentance?
A43583	This is a pitiful ruinous Cottage, when shall I be brought into the Kings Pallace?
A43583	This new Jerusalem is built all of Free- stone, and shall not our shoutings echo, grace, grace to the Head- stone, Jesus Christ?
A43583	To knit your minds, and raise your affections to God, and sometimes suggest words to you?
A43583	Upon what terms stand I for another world?
A43583	VVhat is Heaven but the injoyment of God?
A43583	Was not Hezekiah a Godly Man?
A43583	Was not his Soul in a readiness for death?
A43583	Weaken your corruptions, and purge and furbish your Souls, as vessels for the high shelf of glory?
A43583	What Conceptions ought we to have of the blessed God?
A43583	What beast will run into a pit or praecipice?
A43583	What can I do?
A43583	What cleanly person can endure to have a filthy swine a bed and board with him in his Parlour or Bed- chamber?
A43583	What could God see in us to attract his heart to us?
A43583	What else have you to do in the world?
A43583	What fruits hath it brought forth in me?
A43583	What ground hast thou to own me?
A43583	What is Hell then for, that''s so oft mention''d in the Bible?
A43583	What is that habitual meetness for the Inheritance of the Saints in Light, without which Men can never attain to it, or have eternal possession of it?
A43583	What is the change wrought in a Man by Gods H. Word and Spirit, before he can safely conclude himself passed from Death to Life?
A43583	What mad man will refuse this gift that is better then Gold?
A43583	What pains would you take?
A43583	What saving work hath passed upon my heart?
A43583	What say you to these things?
A43583	What sayest thou?
A43583	What staggerings in our Faith of the reality of unseen things?
A43583	What stamp, what sheep- mark can I shew, as the fruit of Gods being at work on my Soul, and an earnest of this glorious Inheritance?
A43583	What strict observers of the Sabbath were the Scribes and Pharisees?
A43583	What tears, fears, what groans and agonies hath it cost me?
A43583	What think you, can any secretly steal in unknown to him, or forcibly thrust in against his will?
A43583	What work is it that God sets before Men to dispatch and manage?
A43583	What''s become of the many warnings we have had in our selves and others?
A43583	What, are you content with a Heaven here, and an Hell hereafter?
A43583	When are men cleansed, is it[ in Articulo mortis] in the passage of the Soul out of the Body?
A43583	When occasions of sinning are removed, rather then afforded, though it cost thee dear?
A43583	When thousands are left, why art thou taken?
A43583	When will it be over?
A43583	Where''s this new Creature, the Divine Nature, the Image and Seed of God working Heaven- wards?
A43583	Whither are you going?
A43583	Why may not my glory rejoyce?
A43583	Why should not then my heart be glad?
A43583	Why so?
A43583	Will he set the Crown on Rebels heads?
A43583	Will not your mouth be stopt, and Conscience fly in your face?
A43583	Will you believe it?
A43583	Yes doubtless, for he dare appeal to God that he had walked before him in truth, and with a perfect heart: What then was the matter?
A43583	Yet after all this canst thou not say, thou art nothing, deservest nothing but Hell?
A43583	You must give account of Sabbaths, Sermons, Sacraments, shall they be the savour of death unto death to you, or the savour of life unto life?
A43583	You will say how can any man be said to dispatch his work till his life be done?
A43583	You''l say, can I make my self meet for Heaven?
A43583	and are these fit to live with God till brought nigh?
A43583	and can two walk together except they be agreed?
A43583	and can you think to overturn his appointed Will, or contradict his Councels?
A43583	and how can dryed stubble dwell with consuming fire?
A43583	and is such a dead block meet to converse with the living God?
A43583	and is this fit to dwell with an Holy God till sanctified?
A43583	and the Prophets do they live for ever?
A43583	and what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
A43583	being more weighted with the necessity of their Conversion?
A43583	have you no better a friend then Satan?
A43583	what do I here?
A43583	with darkness?
A10835	& c. and if they do so, why deal you against them?
A10835	& how implacable is the hatred at this day of them whom they call Lutherans against the followers of the other partyes?
A10835	& if all be to be let alone, why meddle they with any?
A10835	& no immediate right from Christ, but a graunt vnto them from the Apostles, or vpon their exhortation for the tyme?

A10835	18. and sayth he it not also to the Churches of other nations?
A10835	18. and that Paul should come after, and direct them to account him a brother?
A10835	18. for the reproving& censuring of offenders, and for the binding,& loosing of sinns?
A10835	2. if your Bishops be Pastours, and Teachers by their office, what are you, and the rest of your rank?
A10835	3. graunt it were( as they pretend) with these few parishes, what must be sayd of the rest which did not so practise?
A10835	3. proves no such matter) yet is the thing true you say, namely that a part of the Church is sometimes called by the name of the whole; but what part?

A10835	And dare you say( as you haue done in both your books) that the officers are absolutely to the Church, as the eyes to the body?
A10835	And did not all offerings brought to any other place( without speciall dispensation) stink in his nostrels?
A10835	And do these Atheists hold, and professe the true fayth, and every article of Gods holy truth, which is fundamentall?
A10835	And do these Churches like sisters go hand in hand together as is pretended?
A10835	And do these men deal soundly, who to prove a point in controversie, bring the opinion of their adversaries, which they condemn ▪ as vnsound?

A10835	And hath Gods wisdome so appoynted now?
A10835	And hath the Lord sanctified that for his house which is not holy, and good enough for their houses?
A10835	And have you begotten them vnto the faith, as Paul did the Corinthians?
A10835	And hovv do these things appear?
A10835	And how can you with modesty reiect this answer?
A10835	And how chosen?
A10835	And how serves this for the Church of England?
A10835	And how then true matter of the Church, for which you so much contend?
A10835	And how to this?
A10835	And if Mr B. himselfe thus wryte and speak in private, why blames he vs for our publique testimony?
A10835	And if he do not, but speak the vision of his owne heart, what remedy hath the Church or what can they that hear him do?
A10835	And if it were so, should myne iniquities excuse yours?
A10835	And if the parable be thus meant, hovv can it be defended that any Church should cast out any offenders whomsoever?
A10835	And indeed where should the Lord set his stewards but in his familie?
A10835	And is it cavelling in vs, or ignorance in you thus to speak?
A10835	And is it not* against the law of love to vse things indifferent with offence?
A10835	And is it so in deed, that, bycause men must examine themselves, therefore not others?
A10835	And is it so indeed?
A10835	And is it so?
A10835	And is not here an orderly constitution, and a Church truely gathered by the sacrament of baptisme?
A10835	And is not this sound dealing?
A10835	And is not this the estate of your Ministers, and people vnder their imperious Lords the Prelates?
A10835	And is the Church of Rome a true visible Church?
A10835	And is the man of sin,& divels, idols, the beast,( al which Antichristians worship) the true God?
A10835	And is this a sufficient answering of an adversary to bring sundry reasons to prove the very thing, which he affirmes?
A10835	And is this the necessary proof you speak of?
A10835	And is this your piety, and thankfulnes Mr B. towards your mother, for want of which you cast so many bitter curses vpon the separatists?
A10835	And is this your righting of our wrestings Mr B?
A10835	And know you not, that every sound Reason, or Argument must prove, or argue, of it self, the thing, for vvhich it is brought?
A10835	And let me ask him yet further for the wellfare of which order of Ministery he would have vs pray?
A10835	And might not any Papist or other heretik make this exception?
A10835	And might not your people tell you out of your own book, that you have nought to do to examine them?
A10835	And secōdly what though the cōstitutiō be not totally lost?
A10835	And since you graunt Mr B. that the Pastor is to feed those litle ones, do you not therein acknowledge they are converted, or borne a new?
A10835	And to come nearer our own tymes, how bitter was Luther agaynst Swinglius& Calvin in the matter of the Sacrament?

A10835	And what followes vpon this?
A10835	And what greater confusion is there like to be in the determining of other Church affaires by voyces, then in the calling of ministers?
A10835	And what if but some of these be false, and not all?
