A57681 | But from whence this? |
A57681 | Now how can this be consistent with a Crust of the Earth encompassing the Abyss, in which there must be no opening or hiatus? |
A57681 | Or else how could the Crust when it was first forming, be kept from falling in? |

A41630 | Thus when God saith, In the Begining he Created the Heaven and the Earth; shall any say, he did not, and so of the rest? |

A30484 | 6. if you render it, he stretched out the Earth near the Waters, How is that one of God''s great wonders? |
A30484 | A shadow for a substance? |
A30484 | An Earth founded upon the Seas, and establish''d upon the Waters, is not this the Earth we have describ''d? |
A30484 | And have we not the same reason to understand this Temple of the World, whereof S. Peter speaks, to be threefold in succession? |
A30484 | And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A30484 | And to what end were they propos''d to us there, if it was not intended that they should be understood, sooner or later? |
A30484 | And to what purpose indeed should he premise the description of those Heavens and Earth, if it was not to lay a ground for this inference? |
A30484 | And what then? |
A30484 | And you are to observe here that the Apostle does not proceed against them barely by authority; for what would that have booted? |
A30484 | Be it so; yet what is the ground of those allusions? |
A30484 | Because a Rock hangs its nose over the Sea, must the body of the Earth be said to be stretched over the waters? |
A30484 | Besides, what is it, as I ask''d before, that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of? |
A30484 | But where is that necessity in this Case? |
A30484 | But why may not this be writ in a Vulgar style, as well as the rest? |
A30484 | Can any body doubt or question, but all these four Texts refer to the same thing? |
A30484 | Can not God make new Heavens and a new Earth, as easily as he made the Old ones? |
A30484 | Have we not then reason to suppose, that he takes it here in the same sence, that he had done twice before, for real and material Heavens and Earth? |
A30484 | How freely and unconcernedly does Scripture speak of God Allmighty, according to the opinions of the vulgar? |
A30484 | If his design was onely to tell them that Mankind was once destroy''d in a Deluge, what''s that to the Heavens and the Earth? |
A30484 | If one met with this sentence* in a Greek Author, who would ever render it standing in the water and out of the water? |
A30484 | In the 6th verse he makes an inference,* Whereby the World, that then was, perish''d in a Deluge; what does this whereby relate to? |
A30484 | Is his strength decay''d since that time, or is Matter grown more disobedient? |
A30484 | Or because there are waters in some subterraneous cavities, is the Earth therefore founded upon the Seas? |
A30484 | Secondly, what is it that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of? |
A30484 | That of the Deluge, Moses calls there Tehom- Rabbah, the Great Abyss; and can there be any greater than the forementioned Mother- Abvss? |
A30484 | The Earth is the Lord''s, for he hath founded it near the Seas, Where is the confequence of this? |
A30484 | What is there wonderful in this, that the shores should lie by the Sea- side; Where could they lie else? |
A30484 | What reason or argument is this, why the Earth should be the Lord''s? |
A30484 | What tolerable interpretation can these admit of, if we do not allow the Earth once to have encompass''d and overspread the face of the Waters? |
A30484 | What watery constitution have they? |
A30484 | When shall this new World appear? |
A30484 | Where can we now find in Nature, such an Earth as has the Seas and the Water for its foundation? |
A30484 | Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the Earth? |
A30484 | Whereupon are the foundat ● ons thereof fastned, and who laid the corner stone? |
A30484 | by reason of what? |
A30484 | or could they pretend to be ignorant of that without making themselves ridiculous both to Jews and Christians? |
A30484 | that there was a Deluge, that destroyed Mankind? |
A30484 | that they were ignorant that the Heavens and the Earth were constituted so and so, before the Flood? |
A30484 | what''s this to the natural World, whereof they were speaking? |
A89280 | 11 Then God said unto him, Who hath made thee so wise, that thou shouldst know that thou art naked, or wantest any covering? |
A89280 | 13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? |
A89280 | 13 And the divine Light spake in Adam concerning the woman; What work hath she made here? |
A89280 | 9 But the Lord God called unto Adam the second time, and said unto him, Adam where art thou? |
A89280 | And Numenius the Platonist speaks out plainly concerning his Master; What is Plato but Moses Atticus? |
A89280 | And to clothe men according to their conditions and quality, what is more ordinary, or more fit and natural? |
A89280 | And what can be more like God then the soul of man, that is so free, so rational, and so intellectual as it is? |
A89280 | And what is Pride, but a mighty Mountainous Whale; Lust, a Goat; the Lion, and Bear, wilful dominion; Craft, a Fox; and worldly toil, an Oxe? |
A89280 | And what is this but Ratio stabilis, a kinde of steady and immovable reason discovering the connexion of all things at once? |
A89280 | But if he did not approve of it as good, why did he make it? |
A89280 | But now how does Satan bruise the heel of Christ? |
A89280 | But now to recite the very words of the Prophet, What hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? |
A89280 | But the will of man assisted by God, as Adam''s was, if it be sincere, what can it not doe? |
A89280 | Else what means the Resurrection of the dead, or Bodies in the other world? |
A89280 | For how should the soul of man, says he, know God, if he did not inspire her, and take hold of her by his power? |
A89280 | For if the life of God or Christ was in him; surely he did live, or else what did that life there? |
A89280 | For these fall into that grand Question in Philosophy, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; whence sprung up Evil? |
A89280 | For what an easie thing is it for a man to fancy himself an Israelite, and then to circumvent his honest neighbours under the notion of Aegyptians? |
A89280 | For what can he tell us more or better, then Christ already has told us; or what himself may tell us without any personal shape? |
A89280 | For, why should the Serpent be cursed for the Devils sake? |
A89280 | Hast thou eaten of the forbidden fruit? |
A89280 | How can it be day when the Sun is down, unless the day be Independent of the Sun, according to the fancie of the rude and illiterate? |
A89280 | Is it so indeed that God has confined you, taken away your Liberty, and forbidden you all things that you may take pleasure in? |
A89280 | What a sure foundation is it of life, liberty, and easie sagacity in things belonging to Virtue, Religion, and Justice? |
A89280 | What agreement betwixt Christ and Belial? |
A89280 | What communion betwixt light and darkness? |
A89280 | What is Jacob but a supplanter, a deceiver, and that of his own brother? |
A89280 | Why are we obnoxious to be stung with Serpents? |
A89280 | Why do our wives bring forth their children with pain? |
A89280 | Why may not God give us an endlesse life, as well as a long life? |
A27207 | & quaenam ex hisce anni partium successionibus ad nos utilitas redit? |
A27207 | And how indeed could they hold any other Opinion? |
A27207 | And so, as to Gravity in Animals, why is the upper Jaw plac''d above the lower? |
A27207 | And why is the Soul it self in the Body? |
A27207 | Are there not as strange things in the Mahometan Alcoran, in the Jewish Talmud, and in the fabulous Divinity of the Gentils? |
A27207 | But what is all this to the search of humane Reason? |
A27207 | Did the Circumgyration of the Earth carry them back again, under ground, upon an Ascent, toward the Poles? |
A27207 | From Heaven I draw — What shall we say to the Poets sense in all this; Is there nothing in''t? |
A27207 | How could Men be conceiv''d to have liv''d in those times, but as they have lately been found to do in the West- Indies? |
A27207 | Is it that the suppos''d Richness of the Antediluvian Soil could have supply''d all this? |
A27207 | Is it that they are lighter? |
A27207 | Is it, in that they have made a deform''d World from Eternity, which came in time to be adorn''d? |
A27207 | Is there less absurdity and repugnancy in an infinite multitude of disorderly motions, than of such as succeed in order? |
A27207 | Now wherein do these men excel Aristotle? |
A27207 | Or did they sink into the Abysse? |
A27207 | Or what alteration in such a proportion of a Magnetick Terrella three foot Diameter, could make it decline from its wonted Points of bearing? |
A27207 | Or, why in Man are the Heart, Liver and Spleen plac''d above the Pancreas, Reins and Bladder? |
A27207 | Quid ergo vero coelo& verâ terrâ in illâ nobis opus erit? |
A27207 | The like may be said of Animals; how many Species of them are there, which seem to be made for Mountains, and Mountains for them? |
A27207 | Thirdly, how should Vegetation have been maintain''d for sixteen Hundred Years, without Rains to refresh the Plants? |
A27207 | This being suppos''d; when the Earth broke, and made a Deluge, I ask what became of the two Miles Water? |
A27207 | What Issue the Rivers could have, when they were come thither? |
A27207 | What Seat has God, but th''Earth, the Air, the Seas, The Heavens, and Vertue? |
A27207 | What wonder then that the Ancients should lie under great mistakes in things relating to that Knowledge? |
A27207 | and in the Eternity of a deform''d Body, than of a beautiful? |
A27207 | nonne& coelum& terram; ut huic animali ac terrestri vitae inservirent, Deus creavit? |
A27207 | quâ cessante propter quam utrumque conditum fuit, an non& ipsa cessare debent? |
A30486 | And if there was no oleagineous matter in the new- made Earth, how came the soil to be so fertile, so fat, so unctuous? |
A30486 | And is not that common receiv''d sence, the sence of the Church? |
A30486 | And to break from the Church in greater points, and scruple it in less, is not this to strain at Gnats, and swallow Camels? |
A30486 | And was that such, as made it necessary to set up a new Hypothesis for explaining the Flood? |
A30486 | And what could hinder their having that practice and experience, if they had an open Sea, and all Iron and other materials, for that use and purpose? |
A30486 | And what does the famous Aristotelian Hypothesis seem to be now, but a mass of Errours? |
A30486 | As to Extraordinary Providence, Is the Theorist alone debarr''d from recourse to it, or would he have all men debarr''d, as well as the Theorist? |
A30486 | Besides, what bounds will you give to these Maritime Mountains? |
A30486 | Besides, what length of time would you require, for the production of these Inland Mountains? |
A30486 | But are they said any where in the story of the Deluge, to have been famish''d? |
A30486 | But if he will not confine their production to Moses''s six days, how does he keep to the Mosaical Hypothesis? |
A30486 | But what''s this to the purpose? |
A30486 | But where, pray, hath he granted, that the motion of the Earth was one of those cases? |
A30486 | But who says so besides himself? |
A30486 | But why not? |
A30486 | Does he expect then that his single word and authority, should countervail all the ancient Translators and Interpreters? |
A30486 | Does it enable him to encounter whole Regiments of Souldiers in his single person? |
A30486 | Does it impower him to carry a Cannon upon his neck? |
A30486 | Either his Hypothesis is more rational than the Church- Hypothesis, or less rational? |
A30486 | For why might not the Rivers of that Earth have Fish in them, as well as the Rivers of this Earth, or as our Rivers now? |
A30486 | If a man had cursed God, or call''d our Saviour an Impostor, what could he have been charg''d with more, than Blasphemy, horrid blasphemy? |
A30486 | If less rational, why does he take us off from a better, to amuse us with a worse? |
A30486 | If so, what was this ordinary supposition: was it not the supposition of the Church? |
A30486 | If so, why doth he use it so much himself? |
A30486 | If this be his rule, to what Texts does there accrue any absurdity or incongruity, by supposing the Sun to move? |
A30486 | In such an uninterrupted Ridge of Mountains, where do the Land- Mountains end, and the Sea- mountains begin? |
A30486 | It is not still as plainly affirm''d, as before, that, according to the Theory, the Ecliptick in the Primitive Earth was its Equinoctial? |
A30486 | It might as well have been askt, says he, why does not the fire make a dough- bak''d loaf swell and ● uff up? |
A30486 | Must not that still be a Postulatum, and an unmerciful one? |
A30486 | Now can he make this answer for his fifteen- Cubit Deluge? |
A30486 | Now those reasons he thought either to be good reasons, or bad reasons: if bad, why did he set them down, or why did he not confute them? |
A30486 | Now what better authorities can he bring us for his translation? |
A30486 | Or if his power be sufficient for such effects, why have we not Mountains made still to this day? |
A30486 | Or to put a slip upon the Crocodile''s neck, and play with him as with a Dog? |
A30486 | Or what mark is there, whereby we may know that they are not all of the same race, or do not all spring from the same original? |
A30486 | Or when the great Gun is fir''d off, to catch the Bullet as it flies, and put it up in his Pocket? |
A30486 | Romances suppose, and Poetical fictions: Will you have your fifteen- cubit Deluge pass for such? |
A30486 | So when God gave Adam dominion over the Fowls, did he mean that he should dive like a Duck, or soar like a Falcon? |
A30486 | The Defender hath made some answer to this question, in these words, The question is put, why have we no Mountains made now? |
A30486 | The dry ground,& c. How does this alter or mend the sence? |
A30486 | Then say I still, why do you desert it, or why do you trouble us with a new one? |
A30486 | These are his words, Is not his distinction equally plain in both cases? |
A30486 | This is a wild step: why 30 hours? |
A30486 | This is fairly to beg the question, and can he suppose the Theorist so easie as to grant this without proof? |
A30486 | This prosperous prevailing error, or mass of errors, was it not espoused and supported by the Church? |
A30486 | To drain it as a Ditch, or to take all its Fry at once in a Dragnet? |
A30486 | Was he to snare the Shark, as we do young Pickarels: or to bridle the Sea- Horse, and ride him for a Pad? |
A30486 | What authority have we then to make this distinction: or to suppose that all the great Mountains of the Earth were not made together? |
A30486 | What is now reply''d to this? |
A30486 | What says the Defence of the Exceptions to this? |

A30486 | When the King makes a Gentleman Lord- Lieutenant of a County, by virtue of his Commission is he presently the strongest man that is in it? |
A30486 | Where then, pray, do these Pillars stand that bear up the Earth? |
A30486 | Where''s the inconsistency of this? |
A30486 | against that supposition? |
A30486 | and his unusual gloss contrary to it? |
A30486 | are they distinguisht from Inland Mountains barely by their distance from the Sea, or by some other Character? |
A30486 | because the literal sence is not to his mind? |
A30486 | or how shall we know where he will stop, in his own way? |
A30486 | or if they bear up the Earth, what bears them up? |
A30486 | that he should swim as naturally as the Swan, and hunt the Kite, or Hobby, as Boys do the Wren? |
A30486 | were they not all made within the six- days Creation? |
A30486 | what are their Pedestals, or their foundations? |
A30486 | when it came first out of a Chaos? |
A30486 | where does Scripture say so: or where does the Theorist say so? |
A30486 | yet suppose it be so, may not the Theorist then enjoy this priviledge of receding from the literal sence upon occasion, as well as the Excepter? |
A58185 | A Subject or Utensil of so various and inexplicable use, who could have invented and formed, but an infinitely wise and powerful Efficient? |
A58185 | Again, in his Book de Fato he smartly derides this fond conceit thus; What cause is there in Nature which turns the Atomes aside? |
A58185 | But how can the Spirits agitated by Heat, unguided by a vital Principle produce such a regular reciprocal motion? |
A58185 | But what rouses the Spirits which were quiescent during the continuance of the foetus in the Womb? |
A58185 | For if it were only for Nutrition, what need of two such great Arteries to convey the Blood thither? |
A58185 | For is it not absurd and incongruous? |
A58185 | For, say they, All the men of the World can not make such a thing as one of these; and if they can not do it, who can, or did make it but God? |
A58185 | How Manifold are thy Works O Lord? |
A58185 | How can all these things put together but beget Wonder and Astonishment? |
A58185 | How much more incredible then is it that Constancy in such a Variety, such a multiplicity of parts should be the result of Chance? |
A58185 | How variously is the Surface of it distinguished into Hills, and Valleys, and Plains, and high Mountains affording pleasant Prospects? |
A58185 | How would he have admired the immense subtilty( as he phrases it) of their Parts? |
A58185 | How, for Himself? |

A58185 | If it be asked, why may not Atoms of different Species concur to the composition of Bodies? |
A58185 | If it be once contracted in a Systole by the influx of the Spirits, why, the Spirits continually flowing in without let, doth it not always remain so? |
A58185 | If these Creatures be so exceeding small, what must we think of their Muscles and other Parts? |
A58185 | Lastly, Why else should there be such an instant necessity of Respiration so soon as ever the foetus is fallen off from the Womb? |
A58185 | Now what should take away the sight of these Ships from each other but the gibbosity of the interjacent Water? |
A58185 | Or do they cast Lots among themselves which shall decline, which not? |
A58185 | Or why do they decline the least interval that may be, and not a greater? |
A58185 | Quanta ad eam rem vis, ut in suo quaeque genere permaneat? |
A58185 | The Sea, what infinite variety of Fishes doth it nourish? |
A58185 | Then why should some be very long lived, others only Annual or Biennial? |
A58185 | These are Stones, Metals, Minerals and Salts, In Stones, which one would think were a neglected Genus, what variety? |
A58185 | Thirdly, Let us hence duly learn to prize and value our Souls; is the Body such a rare Piece, what then is the Soul? |
A58185 | Thirdly, The Ear another Organ of Sence, how admirably is it contrived for the receiving and conveying of Sounds? |
A58185 | This Hypothesis which hath some shew of reason, for something must necessarily exist of it self; and if something, why may not all things? |
A58185 | This is our Duty, but alas what is our Practice? |
A58185 | Ubi visum praetendit? |

A58185 | When goods encrease,& c. what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding them with their Eyes? |
A58185 | Why can we imagine all Creatures should be made Male and Female but to this purpose? |
A58185 | Why could they not have rested as well as they did in the Womb? |
A58185 | Why could they not patiently suffer it to die? |
A58185 | Why not two or three minima as well as one? |
A58185 | Why should there be constantly the same Parts? |
A58185 | Why should there be implanted in each Sex such a vehement and inexpugnable Appetite of Copulation? |
A58185 | Why should they be endued with the same Shape and Figure? |
A58185 | Why should they retain constantly the same Places? |
A58185 | You will ask me who or what is the Operator in the Formation of the bodies of Man and other Animals? |
A58185 | You will say to me, how then must our Tongues be employed? |
A58185 | You will say, how shall we manifest our Care of our Souls? |
A58185 | You will say, what Agent is it which you would have to effect this? |
A58185 | and what would he in all likelyhood have made had he seen these incredible small living Creatures? |

A58184 | A Consequent, or Inference thereupon, What manner of persons ought we to be? |
A58184 | A Sixth Question is, How far shall this Conflagration extend? |
A58184 | And if there were no need of creating more, what likelyhood that there were more created? |
A58184 | And what other End can be given or conceived for the remaining or restoring thereof? |
A58184 | And why may it not? |
A58184 | At what Period of Time shall the World be dissolved? |
A58184 | But do these errours and enormities take away the order of Nature? |
A58184 | But he is just, and doth not make enormous things: or will you blame Nature? |
A58184 | But to this may be replied, If the thing itself be unjust, how can our chusing of it make it just? |

A58184 | Containing an Answer to the second Question, Whether shall this Dissolution be effected by natural, or extraordinary means, and what they shall be? |
A58184 | Doth not the Scripture condemn a Whore''s Fore- head? |
A58184 | For had it been miraculous, why should not the Age of the very first Generation after the Flood have been reduced to that Term? |
A58184 | For if the World were to be annihilated, what needed a Conflagration? |
A58184 | For immediately after the Flood the Age of Man did gradually decrease every Generation in great proportions? |
A58184 | For to what end are these Bodies curiously figured and adorned? |
A58184 | For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
A58184 | For what is the depth of the profoundest Mines, were they a Mile deep, to the Semidiameter of the Earth? |
A58184 | For, say they, what were that but a creation of such individuals? |
A58184 | He that hath devoured shame, what Bridle is there left to restrain him from the worst of evils? |
A58184 | He will be ready thereupon thus to argue with himself, What need I take so much pains to strive against Sin? |
A58184 | How can it be just to annex such a Penalty as eternal Hell to a short and transient offence? |
A58184 | How can it stand with Infinite Goodness to make a Creature that he fore knew would be eternally miserable? |
A58184 | How could he sing a Requiem to his Soul, and say Peace and Safety, when the World so manifestly threatens Ruin about his Ears? |
A58184 | How far shall this Conflagration extend? |

A58184 | If it be said before, he asks, Whether there were a place in it of the figure and magnitude of the Tooth, or did the Tooth make it ● ell a place? |

A58184 | If the Event frustrate thy Hopes, and fall out contrary to thy Expectation? |

A58184 | In answer hereto, I demand, what becomes of it in the open Air? |
A58184 | Is it not a true Proverb, Past Shame, Past Grace? |
A58184 | Is it not better to conceal, than to publish ones shame? |
A58184 | Is it not better to reverence Man, than neither God nor Man? |
A58184 | Is not this wise Philosophy? |
A58184 | It may be said, How doth this Dissolution concern us, who may perchance be dead and rotten a thousand Years before it comes? |
A58184 | Let me ask thee, But how if thou shouldest find thy self mistaken? |
A58184 | May not the Stoicks here set in, and help us out at a dead lift? |
A58184 | Nay, I can not see how it can consist with his Veracity not to do it; why then should any Argument from his Goodness move us to distrust his Veracity? |
A58184 | Now had the Creature a power of producing new ones, what need was there that there should be so many at first formed in them? |
A58184 | Now if it be of such eminent use to them, why may it not also be to the Learned and Noble; who, I fear me, may want such a Bridle as well as they? |
A58184 | Now if the Po pours so much Water hourly into the Sea, what then must the Danow and the Nile do? |
A58184 | Of which what Account or Reason can we give, but the motion of the Earth from West to East? |
A58184 | Or lastly, How the several Individuals of these kinds, shall contrary to their primitive Natures, live and dure immortally? |
A58184 | Or must we say with Oriegn, That they are in a mutable state too, and that Heaven will have an end as well as Hell? |
A58184 | Seeing then all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness? |
A58184 | Shall we accuse God the Creator? |
A58184 | Sir, what is this? |
A58184 | So that of such inflictions one may rationally demand, Cui bono? |
A58184 | THE Fifth Question is, At what Period of Time shall the World be dissolved? |
A58184 | THE First Question is, Whether there be any thing in Nature, which may prove and demonstrate, or probably argue and infer a future Dissolution? |
A58184 | THE Third Question is, Whether shall this Dissolution be gradual and successive, or momentaneous and sudden? |
A58184 | The Fifth Question answered; At what Period of Time shall the World be dissolved? |

A58184 | The third Question answered, Whether shall the Dissolution be gradual and successive, or momentanouns and sudden? |
A58184 | Then when all the intermediate Bodies shall be annihilated, what a strange Universe shall we have? |
A58184 | These Bodies being found dispersed all over the Earth, they of the contrary Opinion demand how they come there? |
A58184 | They enquire whether the Vegetables, and Creatures endued with Sense shall all be restored, or some only? |
A58184 | This answers the second Question, What the Means and Instruments of this Dissolution shall be? |
A58184 | To him I reply, How then can he confirm the Blessed, reserving their Liberty? |
A58184 | To this Peyerus replies, who then forms, who delineates such monsters? |

A58184 | Where is the promise of his coming? |
A58184 | Whereas we see that that generation is long since passed away, and yet the end is not come? |

A58184 | Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A58184 | Who can conceive such a small portion of matter to be capable of such division, and to contain such an infinity of parts? |
A58184 | Why should not Nature as well imitate the Horns, Hoofs, Teeth, or Bones of Land Animals, or the Fruits, Nuts, and Seed of Plants? |
A58184 | Why then should we tbink that the entire Skeletons of Fishes found sometimes in the Earth, had no other Original? |
A58184 | Why was Vrim and Thummim taken away, or rather not restored, by their own confession, after the Babylonish Captivity? |

A67686 | And how then could their ignorance in the case be wilfull? |
A67686 | And if it was carried about by such a Gyration, how could the face of its Waters be still and equable? |
A67686 | And if the Air were thick and dark then, after the grossest Particles were sunk down: what was it before, when they were but sinking? |
A67686 | And if they be Solid, how could they possibly have descended at last? |
A67686 | And let but the blustring Gales which push them upward, cease; and would they not forthwith stop? |
A67686 | And may not this Earth, in those regards be allowed to vie with that supposititious one und ● r debate? |
A67686 | And must not both of them then be in our neighbourhood at that time? |
A67686 | And of what were they thus ignorant? |
A67686 | And so I demand in the Second place; What does Moses mean, by the Host of the Heavens being finished? |
A67686 | And so what Waters else could they be, save those in the Clouds? |
A67686 | And so what a work must here be done, to make Rivers coetaneous with the Fish we speak of? |
A67686 | And so what will become of, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, all the Fountains of the great Deep? |
A67686 | And so what would have become of the first Covenant with Adam, in case he had stood? |
A67686 | And then as to the rest of those Authors he remembers; how could they understand the thing better than himself? |
A67686 | And then what should have guided them through this burning Tract, where was nothing of Path, or Way- mark to be seen? |
A67686 | And therefore what shift should they have made for Air? |
A67686 | And truly were it not for their Waters so copiously shed down on the Earth, how miserable would the Condition of Mankind be? |
A67686 | And were not these the very circumstances of that Mass, whereon the Primitive Earth was founded? |
A67686 | And what Water so fit for all sorts of Plants, as that which descends from the Clouds above? |
A67686 | And what could be mor ● agreeable to the present Earth? |
A67686 | And what does the Expression there import? |
A67686 | And what great Deeps could they be, but great deep Caverns in the Rocks? |
A67686 | And what other Host should belong to these Heavens, except the Fowls? |
A67686 | And when GOD created man did he not create this Soul of his? |
A67686 | And when did the lesser begin to rule the Night? |
A67686 | And when was it thus? |
A67686 | And where was darkness said to be before, but upon the face of the deep? |
A67686 | And who that had advanced a few Furlongs into it, could have been able to have gone forward, or to return alive? |
A67686 | And why should he wear the Title of that Nature for an Ornament, who is an Enemy to its excellency? |
A67686 | And why should they not be such Seas as we have now? |
A67686 | And why so? |
A67686 | And yet had they journied without sure conduct, whither might they have wandred? |
A67686 | And yet if he intended any thing else, what could it be but their Creation at that time? |
A67686 | And yet if they were not in being then, how could he describe the Terrestrial Paradise by them, as he does? |
A67686 | And yet if we attend to the first Earth''s Origination, how could it be of an Oval Shape? |
A67686 | But because it does not, how could the Persons whom S. Peter reproves, be wilfully ignorant of the Phaenomenon? |
A67686 | But had it not therefore the nature, vertue, and influence of a Sign, whereby to induce the King to believe the effect? |
A67686 | But how can it be so reasonable according to his Hypothesis? |
A67686 | But how cloud either be done without Iron Tools? |
A67686 | But how did Holy Church receive his Notions of that stamp, and how did she deal with him for their sakes? |
A67686 | But how then could Moses go up to the top of this Mountain? |
A67686 | But how then could it be stretched out upon emptiness and hanged upon nothing? |
A67686 | But is not natural Philosophy then an useful thing, and of great use, according to its Character, in the First Chapter? |
A67686 | But now supposing that the Caverns in the Mountains were this great Deep; how surprizingly do all these things fall in with them? |
A67686 | But since GOD will undertake it, why should it be thought incredible? |
A67686 | But then how could He rebuke them, for being wilfully ignorant of it, it being so very dark a Mystery? |
A67686 | But then might not the whole World be thought the most contentful dwelling for GOD the Vniversal King? |
A67686 | But then why should it not be so with the Earth likewise? |
A67686 | But there might be Days, before there was a Sun( as we have shewed) and so where''s the strength of that Objection? |
A67686 | But what was it that made so learned a Man to argue thus? |
A67686 | But whence sprang this Mistake, of the Stars Superintendency and Sovereign Dominion, save merely from the want of sound Philosophy? |
A67686 | But where would be Winds strong enough to heave them up such watry steepness? |
A67686 | But whereabouts were these to fall? |
A67686 | But why then should they be thought so despicable by the Theorist, as to be unworthy of a particular commemoration by Moses? |
A67686 | But yet let the Clouds we speak of, with- hold their moisture but a few years; and what a rueful change would then appear? |
A67686 | But yield it to have been but half so broad, and what Men could ever have marched over it? |
A67686 | But( in the mean time) if Divine Story proves not such Longaevity common to the Antediluvians; how shall other History do it? |
A67686 | By what means should they have come to the knowledge of that, though they would never so fain have done it? |
A67686 | Else how can Infant Bodies be improv''d into a parity with those of adult Persons? |
A67686 | Especially in such plenty, as to descend from thence in showers? |
A67686 | For Animals they were of so vast Dimensions, that where could they harbour but in spacious Seas? |
A67686 | For besides Scripture( which Iosephus was much better acquainted with than they) what else could give them information in the case? |
A67686 | For do not both inform us, That the City Enoch was built, and the Ark prepared before the Flood? |
A67686 | For grant Adam to have been planted on either side of the Torrid Zone; how should he, or his, have gone through it to the other? |
A67686 | For how could time have been measured out and divided into Years and Months,( as it was in the First World) without their help? |
A67686 | For if she was then placed, where now she is, what hindred but she might have the same Motion which now she has? |
A67686 | For it was to be reared upon the Waters risen out of the Chaos; and were they fit to bear such a mighty Pile? |
A67686 | For the Chaos in the beginning was turned about upon its own Center; else how comes the Earth to be so now? |
A67686 | For they were made upon the Fifth Day, says Moses, and how could there be Rivers so timely according to this new contrivance? |
A67686 | For though ignorant of the things they might well be; yet how could they be WILLINGLY ignorant of them? |
A67686 | For what can m ● re encourage so wicked a person, than to disparage and lessen GOD''s Goodness and Equity? |
A67686 | For when GOD said, Let there be light; where can that Light be thought to have shined more especially, than where he said before there was darkness? |
A67686 | For when was it that the Ark thus rested? |
A67686 | For who ever sewed Sackcloth to his own Skin? |
A67686 | Had there been fair Indications of such a Form, why did they not direct Men into an earlier Discovery thereof? |
A67686 | Herbs, Flowers, Trees, Fruits, Springs, Brooks, Rivers,& c. with what variety, and in what abundance does it send forth? |
A67686 | How close must it have stuck? |
A67686 | How exactly does this suite with the Hypothesis proposed? |
A67686 | How fond and silly the People that believe it? |
A67686 | How thick must it have lain? |
A67686 | How vain and foolish the Religion that teaches it? |
A67686 | If he meant only the Host of the Heavens belonging to the Earth; what was the Host of those Heavens? |
A67686 | If they did not, how came these Particles there? |
A67686 | If they were not pure, then how did GOD create Man in his own Image? |
A67686 | If, Lastly, it be objected; How could Waters come into these Caverns? |
A67686 | In what Books was this Form of the Earth recorded? |
A67686 | In which state of conjunction or immediate vicinity; how could they have subsisted, without preying upon, and destroying one another? |
A67686 | Is it not odd and monstrous strange, that we should have no more to shew for this? |
A67686 | Look into the inspired Story, and what a great deal of miracle shall we see, in the very Praelusories or preparatives to that mighty Inundation? |
A67686 | Must not that be hard to make out? |
A67686 | No Fire can burn for ever; for where should be a supply of Fuel to continue it? |
A67686 | Now how does the Apostle answer and take off this? |
A67686 | Now if the Earth had been drowned the Theory''s way, what need of all this? |
A67686 | Now what is there in all this so difficult or abstruse, as not to be intelligible? |
A67686 | Now where could Fishes of such prodigious greatness, move and multiply, but in vast and open Seas? |
A67686 | Now whither tends this? |
A67686 | Now why did they do this? |
A67686 | Or how can it be otherwise? |
A67686 | Or how can the two Texts, in the Theory''s sense, be reconciled? |
A67686 | Or how did he make Adam u ● right? |
A67686 | Or how did the Curse of GOD take place? |
A67686 | Or if it stood empty, what should have hindred the same Waters from running back into it? |
A67686 | Or in case they had been sufficient; yet being drawn out of the Sea, to drown the Earth, what Waters should have filled the Sea again? |
A67686 | Or what lively Tokens or Monuments were there of it? |
A67686 | Or where should they have met with Intelligence concerning it? |
A67686 | Or who laid the corner stone thereof? |
A67686 | Pursue it but on this part, and how powerful an Argument or Testimony will it be, of the Existence of a GOD? |
A67686 | Quid festinas, ut crudâ adhuc hyeme reviviscat& red ● at? |
A67686 | Secondly, What shame need there have been upon account of nakedness betwixt Husband and Wife, when there were no other People in the World? |
A67686 | So that besides the loss they would have been at for P ● ey, how could they have seen to direct their Motions? |
A67686 | So that unless a miraculous Providence superintended it, how could it be safe? |
A67686 | So that where could be barrenness? |
A67686 | Suppose they had the Direction of Stars by night; yet who, or what should have led their Caravans by day? |
A67686 | That the Earth might be spread, and by degrees raised upon them; Was it not requisite that they should be of a quiet and even surface? |
A67686 | The Sun himself can not be seen through a watry Cloud; how much less the Stars through a watry Ocean? |
A67686 | Though most certain it is, that a River there was in Eden; and in order of Divine Story( and so why not in order of time?) |
A67686 | To what length and breadth do they stretch out themselves? |
A67686 | Was it a pretended sign only, and a meer Cypher and Superfluity? |
A67686 | What abundance of Mud, Slime, and Filthiness, must every where have covered the surface of it? |
A67686 | What can be more clear or express? |
A67686 | What clearer Token would it have been of his Covenant? |
A67686 | What is more wonderful than the Waters standing in the Air? |
A67686 | What prodigiously dull and heavy Figments are these? |
A67686 | What stronger support of Mens confidence in it? |
A67686 | Whence should they have gathered it? |
A67686 | Where is there Fire enough to do it? |
A67686 | Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the Earth? |
A67686 | Where, if the Heavens be Fluid, how could they have kept from falling down, so long? |
A67686 | Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? |
A67686 | Which grant them to have been, and how peculiarly were those Clouds above established( according to Solomon''s word) by GOD himself? |
A67686 | Who can tell what vast and mighty things they are? |
A67686 | Why art thou so hasty, as if it could revive and return, while rawtish Winter lasts? |
A67686 | Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the Dead? |
A67686 | Will it always hold it? |
A67686 | Yea, does it not in some things excel it? |
A67686 | Yea, how could they come down at all? |
A67686 | Yea, perhaps how necessary was it for it to do so? |
A67686 | Yet how subject is Cairo to raging Plagues, and where are greater or oftener Mortalities than there? |
A67686 | Yet if there were Clouds and Rain, how necessarily must the glorious Bow appear, when Showres fell in a just position to the Sun? |
A67686 | Yet what is that Soil, but part of what( upon the exterior Orb''s tumbling into the Abyss) must have been turned up by whole Countries at once? |
A67686 | and how could it possibly rise into such a Chaos, out of a Sun or ● ixt Star? |
A67686 | and how do they cover whole Kingdoms at once with their shady Canopies? |
A67686 | and that no better footsteps of its remembrance should be seen? |
A67686 | and to what length might they have spun out their rangeing Progress, at the shortest too long and tedious to be born? |
A67686 | for a pleasant dwelling place? |
A67686 | having no manner of Light at any time to guide them? |
A67686 | or rather sooner than they, as being much heavier? |
A67686 | or to other Mens Arm- holes? |
A67686 | or who hath stretched the line upon it? |
A67686 | or why might not the ground sink there by an Earthquake, or the like? |
A67686 | thereof, if thou knowest? |
A67686 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉,& c. For one might say; To what end was it? |
A30490 | 10, 11, 12,& c. compos''d all of Gemms and bright materials, clear and sparkling, as a Star in the Firmament: Who can give an account what that is? |
A30490 | A shadow for a subs ● ● nce? |
A30490 | A very fair Prophecy: but how long will they be a drinking? |
A30490 | All external Nature hath continued the same without any remarkable change or alteration, and why should we believe( say they) there will be any? |
A30490 | All this you''ll say is well, we are got into a pleasant World indeed, but what''s this to the purpose? |
A30490 | An Earth founded upon the Seas, and establish''d upon the Waters, is not this the Earth we have describ''d? |
A30490 | And as to my Understanding, how defective is it? |
A30490 | And as to the Moral state of it, shall we all, on a sudden, become Kings and Priests to God? |
A30490 | And as to the bad Angels, who will give us an account of their Fall, and of their former condition? |
A30490 | And can we believe that those and all the rest were made for us? |
A30490 | And can we call such times the Reign of Christ, or the imprisonment of Satan? |
A30490 | And how little have we learned from them as to the time of that great revolution? |
A30490 | And is it possible to believe, that all Nature, and all Providence, are only, or principally for their sake? |
A30490 | And is this the great Creature which God hath made by the might of his Power, and for the honour of his Majesty? |
A30490 | And lastly, Why it hath stood so long immovable, and without any further diminution? |
A30490 | And now I mention Birds, why could not they at least have flown into the next dry Country? |
A30490 | And now that I do exist, from what Causes soever, Can I secure my self in Being? |
A30490 | And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A30490 | And so also the Subterraneous waters would lie quiet in their Cells? |
A30490 | And the Prophet Isaiah connects such things with his New Heavens and New Earth, as are not competible to the present state of Nature? |
A30490 | And this makes the Epicurean opinion the more improbable, for why should two rise only, if they sprung from the Earth? |
A30490 | And to what end were they propos''d to us there, if it was not intended that they should be understood, sooner or later? |
A30490 | And to what purpose indeed should he premise the description of those Heavens and Earth, if it was not to lay a ground for this Inference? |
A30490 | And were the Flood- gates of Heaven open''d, and the great Abyss broken up to destroy such an handful of people? |
A30490 | And what then? |
A30490 | And why is not the Second Resurrection and the Day of Judgment yet come? |
A30490 | And with what amazement should we see it under us like an open Hell, or a wide bottomless pit? |
A30490 | And you are to observe here that the Apostle does not proceed against them barely by Authority; for what would that have booted? |
A30490 | Are not the Capacities of Man higher than these? |
A30490 | Are there no bowels of compassion for such an harmless multitude? |
A30490 | As to Iupiter, that Planet without doubt is also turned about its Axis, otherwise how shou''d its four Moons be carried round him? |
A30490 | At this chasm or rupture we suppose the fire would gush out; and what then would be the consequence of this when it came to the surface of the Earth? |
A30490 | Be it so; yet what is the ground of those allusions? |
A30490 | Because a Rock hangs its ● ose over the Sea, must the body of the Earth be said to be stretched over the wàters? |
A30490 | Besides what Fountains, if they were broken up, could let out this water, or bring it upon the face of the Earth? |
A30490 | Besides, What befel this Radical moisture and heat at the Deluge, that it should decay so fast afterwards, and last so long before? |
A30490 | Besides, When were these great Earthquakes and disruptions, that did such great execution upon the body of the Earth? |
A30490 | Besides, Where is the History or Tradition that speaks of these strange things, and of this great change of the Earth? |
A30490 | Besides, do not all Men complain, even These as well as others, of the great ignorance of Mankind? |
A30490 | Besides, what is it, as I ask''d before, that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of? |
A30490 | Besides, what means the disruption of the great Deep, or the great Abysse, or what answers to it upon this supposition? |
A30490 | Besides, who are the rest of the Dead, that liv''d after the expiration of those thousand years, if they begun at Constantine? |
A30490 | But alas, what appearance is there of this Conversion in our days, or what judgment can we make from a sign that is not yet come to pass? |
A30490 | But by whom will it be inhabited? |
A30490 | But how can this be applyed to the present case? |
A30490 | But how past away? |
A30490 | But how, I pray, or where, or when, do the Meek inherit the Earth? |
A30490 | But however, this account being admitted, how will it help us to define what the Age and duration of the World will be? |
A30490 | But is this the form of our Earth, which is neither regularly made within nor without? |
A30490 | But may not the same thing be said of Natural things? |
A30490 | But to know thus much only, doth rather excite our curiosity than satisfie it; what were the other properties of this World? |
A30490 | But to pass from the invisible World to the visible and Corporeal, — Was that made only for our sake? |
A30490 | But what Phaenomenon is there in Nature that proves this? |
A30490 | But what execution in the mean time would it do upon the Body of the Earth? |
A30490 | But whence do they learn this? |
A30490 | But where are the Inhabitants, you''l say? |
A30490 | But where is that necessity in this Case? |
A30490 | But where then, will you say, must we look for it, if not upon this Earth? |
A30490 | But who are these Righteous People? |
A30490 | But who''s wiser for this account, what doth this instruct us in? |
A30490 | But why did I except Angels? |
A30490 | But why may not this be writ in a Vulgar style, as well as the rest? |
A30490 | But why so, pray, what''s the humour of that? |
A30490 | But you will say, it may be, how does it appear, that there will be more frequent Earth- quakes towards the end of the World? |
A30490 | But you''ll say, When they were got thither, what would become of them then? |
A30490 | But, besides this, what warrant have they for this Ascension of the Martyrs into Heaven at that time? |
A30490 | By what Authority then shall we add this New Notion to the History or Scheme of the Millennium? |
A30490 | By what regular action of Nature can we suppose things first produc''d in this posture and form? |
A30490 | Can any body doubt or question, but all these four Texts refer to the same thing? |
A30490 | Can the God of Israel smell a sweet favour from such Sacrifices? |
A30490 | Can we imagine, in those happy Times and Places we are treating of, that things stood in this same posture? |
A30490 | Can we imagine, that it should lie buried for some thousands of years in deep silence and oblivion? |
A30490 | Can we then be so fond as to imagine all the Corporeal Universe made for our use? |
A30490 | Could they compress the Earth any otherwise, than by drying it and making it hard? |
A30490 | Declare if thou hast understanding: Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest; or who hath stretched the line upon it? |
A30490 | Do the Chronicles of the Nations mention these things, or ancient fame, or ancient Fables? |
A30490 | Do the Sun and the Wind use to squeaze pools of Water out of the Earth, and that in such a quantity as to make an Ocean? |
A30490 | For Fountains are broken open no otherwise than by breaking up the ground that covers them? |
A30490 | For otherwise, who are those Iust that shall inhabit the New Earth, and whence do they come? |
A30490 | For to what purpose is it made habitable, if not to be inhabited? |
A30490 | For what is this life, but a circulation of little mean actions? |
A30490 | From what off- spring, or from what Original? |
A30490 | Hath any writ of the Origins of the Alps? |
A30490 | How Mankind past out of that Earth or Co ● tinent where Paradise was, into that where we are? |
A30490 | How Motions are propagated there, and how conserv''d? |
A30490 | How could Fountains rise, or Rivers flow in an Earth of that Form and Nature? |
A30490 | How does it appear by any observation that the Central Fire gains ground upon us? |
A30490 | How does nature feed and satisfie so devouring an Element, and such a great voracity throughout all the World, without loss or diminution of her self? |
A30490 | How doth it include either of them, or hold them any way affixt to its Nature? |
A30490 | How few find the paths of Life? |
A30490 | How few of these Sons of Men, for whom, they say, all things were made, are the Sons of Wisdom? |
A30490 | How freely and unconcernedly does Scripture speak of God Almighty, according to the opinions of the vulgar? |
A30490 | How he still wages War against Heaven, in his exile: What Confederates he hath: What is his Power over Mankind, and how limited? |
A30490 | How he was depos''d: for what Crime, and by what Power? |
A30490 | How high shall this Annihilation reach? |
A30490 | How is that like to Pain, or to a doubt of the Mind? |
A30490 | How is that one of God''s great wonders? |
A30490 | How much of the Universe then will you leave standing: or how shall it subsist with this great Vacuum in the heart of it? |
A30490 | How preposterous would it be to ascribe such a thing to our Maker, and how intolerable a vanity in us to affect it? |
A30490 | How shall this World, all on a sudden, be metamorphos''d into that happy state? |
A30490 | How the manner and process of those miraculous changes in matter, may be conceiv''d? |
A30490 | How then are all former evils past away? |
A30490 | How they answer the several operations of the Mind? |
A30490 | How they stand neglected by Nature? |
A30490 | How unlikely is it then that these Ages were Eternal? |
A30490 | How will it turn to account? |
A30490 | How will they entertain their thoughts, or spend their time? |
A30490 | How would they end or finish their course? |
A30490 | If before, then the old difficulty returns, how could there be a Flood, if the Earth was in this Mountainous form before that time? |
A30490 | If fluid, as the Air or Aether, how could the waters rest upon them? |
A30490 | If his design was only to tell them that Mankind was once destroy''d in a Deluge, what''s that to the Heavens and the Earth? |
A30490 | If one met with this sentence* in a Greek Author, who would ever render it standing in the water and out of the water? |
A30490 | If since the Flood, where were the Waters of the Earth before these Earthquakes made a Chanel for them? |
A30490 | If you will not make it the seat and habitation of the Just in the blessed Millennium, what will you make it? |
A30490 | In Moses Bar Cepha above mention''d, we find a Chapter upon this subject, Qucmodo trajecerint Mortales inde ex Paradisi terrâ in hanc Terram? |
A30490 | In a Society of Saints and purified Spirits, Why should we think their converse impossible? |
A30490 | In what Age of the World was this done, and why not continu''d? |
A30490 | In what year of Rome, or what Olympiad they were born? |
A30490 | Is it not a more reasonable character or conclusion which the Prophet hath made, Surely every Man is vanity? |
A30490 | Is it not fair, to have followed Nature so far as to have seen her twice in her ruins? |
A30490 | Is it possible to believe that one and the same person can act or suffer such different parts? |
A30490 | Is there not more Misery than Happiness: Is there not more Vice than Virtue, in this World? |
A30490 | Lastly, The Timeing of the thing determines the 〈 ◊ 〉 When shall this New World appear? |
A30490 | Lastly, What is this New Jerusalem, if it be not the same with the Millennial state? |
A30490 | Look upon those great ranges of Mountains in Europe or in Asia whereof we have given a short survey, in what confusion do they lie? |
A30490 | May we not then with assurance conclude, that the World hath taken wrong measures hitherto in their notion and explication of the general Deluge? |
A30490 | Motion is nothing but a Bodies changing its place and situation amongst other Bodies, and what affinity or resemblance hath that to a Thought? |
A30490 | Must these all be given up to the merciless flames, as a Sacrifice to Moloch? |
A30490 | Must we not then conclude, that the common explication of the Deluge makes it impossible? |
A30490 | Now what hath local Motion to do with either of these two, Consciousness, or Representativeness? |
