A285901. Who has power to circumscribe and restrain it within the bounds they do sometimes prefix?
A28590And if so, Why do you not name the Sects you plead for?
A28590But some will be ready to say, What do you plead for all sorts of Dissenters, or only some particular Sects?
A28590Caesar commanded a stay of the Execution, and when he came to the house, he asked the Senator whether he had Glasses worth a mans life?
A28590Can the Ethiopian change his Skin, or the Leopard his Spots?
A28590How unseemly a thing is it, to hear a drunken swearing Debauchee, declaiming against Dissenters, and crying out, The Church, The Church?
A28590Now what Crime is it for a Conformist to plead for Moderation towards such men as these?
A28590When the Emperor took a Bishop in compleat Armour, he sent the Armour to the Pope with this word, Haecinae sunt vestes filii tui?
A28590is it not high time to agree amongst our selves, now that Hannibal is at our Gates?
A54215And can any one now say that such a Practice is not a Burden or a Snare to that Mans Conscience?
A54215And why should not we al much rather rejoyce at the prospect of this new Experiment of Liberty, which affords more lively hopes of stable Comfort?
A54215Can any thing be more peaceable than that Principle, which, allowing such a Liberty, dos therby take away the occasion of bitterest Contention?
A54215Can any thing be more reasonable than for every man to allow unto another that Liberty which he desires for himself?
A54215If there have been Men amongst them of such pernicious Principles, have there not been such also amongst us?
A54215Is it supposed that their Numbers may increase, and in the end grow formidable?
A54215Shal I explain my Meaning?
A54215Shall I instance also in our Church of England?
A54215The Protestant Dissenters claim a Right to public Imployments: And shall not the King demand the same Right for Catholic Dissenters also?
A54215What can this Danger be that is apprehended by the taking away of the Test?
A54215What good is it, in truth, that those Laws have don us?
A54215Why not?
A52130But you will say, why doth he then discourage Kings from the like Sovereignty?
A52130Do you plead with the Casuists, that any man may dispense with his own Promise, where the Non- performance prejudices no one?
A52130Do you think the World so dim- sighted, that they can not discern what is under so thin a Veil?
A52130Does it( think you) become the Son of Vicar to prate thus of an Archbishop?
A52130How do these agree?
A52130How unfortunate on Earth still is this blessed ROYAL MARTYR?
A52130If his thirsty Wit be so pretty, what may we expect from his new Wine?
A52130If you ask why Transpros''d?
A52130Is it your Protection for railing whole Pages, that you Preface the Libel with his just Titles of Pious, Learned, and Wise?
A52130Is this your Complement, to embrace him, that you may stab him?
A52130Nothing how to root out, both by Disputation and Discipline, the abuses and encroachments of the Church of Rome?
A52130Now would it not vex a man to be thus unseasonably diverted from the weightiest Business of this Nation, and of one or two besides?
A52130Now you wi ● h your Preface look to your self, What can you say in your own defence?
A52130What if they will not take fair warning?
A52130What if your Adversary should find a patch''d hole about you?
A52130What is this but to muzzle the Dogs while the Wolfs do range?
A52130What think you of this sorry Latinist, Marcellinus?
A52130Would you have the Indictment confessed by standing MUTE, when as the Witnesses are the only Malefactours?
A52130do you not understand him?
A52130seemed he to know nothing of the Primitive Religion Restor''d?
A52130was he ignorant of these, or is all this nothing?
A606653) then you did at your first beginning to profess him?
A60665And also, Paul prayed, That the People might receive the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation: What was Paul a Knave for this?
A60665And how often doth Paul say, be ye Followers of me, even as I also am of Christ?
A60665And if we do so, and in our measures witness the same Spirit of Wisdom, Revelation, Inspiration and Vision, must we therefore be Knaves for that?
A60665And where must they be charged, upon the Scriptures or upon you, with your many Lo here''s and Lo there''s?
A60665And who dare say, That the Maker is not Greater, and more to be looked at and esteemed, than the Thing made?
A60665But what saith Christ?
A60665Why did the chief Priests and outward Professors of the Letter in days past slight and set at nought Christ Jesus, in his outward appearance to them?
A45122Against whom hast thou Exalted thy Voice, and Lifted up thine Eyes on High?
A45122And can the Doctor here be in good earnest?
A45122And was it Idolatry,& to be Tolerated in 1675?
A45122And what if they should advance against him this Argument?
A45122And what thinks the Doctor of Christ before his Ascension; was he Head then?
A45122And wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
A45122Are not making Laws, and Appointing Officers, the Rights of a Head?
A45122But is their going only to two Meetings enough to make Both, or Either of them, to be Guilty of this Sin of Schisme?
A45122Does, or does not the Doctor know this?
A45122I press the Doctor: Is it a Political- Church, or no?
A45122In it, an Objection is thus put: But what shall we say then to the Papists?
A45122Is it Idolatry, and not to be Tolerated in 1680?
A45122Not but I am sensible of the dangerous consequence into which our Divisions may bring us; but who can help it?
A45122Or, Was it no Idolatry then, but is become so now, and intolerable Idolatry too?
A45122Readers, you may perhaps think that Mr. Alsop is a Learned Man; but alass, What is he in comparison of me?
A45122The Doctor now is to be askt, What Consent it is that he means?
A45122What is this but Joyning for a Toleration of Popery?
A45122Who is it can Remedy these Terms imposed on us as necessary to Communion?
A45122Who is the Cause of them?
A31025And how gross the Apostacy of others?
A31025And if left to their own Culture, and Ingenuity, any likelihood they should reform?
A31025Can we imagine there should be any thing more in all these Mockeries, than a sordid Interest, spiteful Revenge, or popular Humour?
A31025Here then arises the main Quere: What shall we do with such Dissenters as these?
A31025On the other side, to return home, how differently have these Disputes been manag''d amongst us, and how vexatiously continued?
A31025Quo teneam vultus mutantem Protea Nodo?
A31025Such Linsy Woolsy Consciences?
A31025Such profane Halters between God and Baal?
A31025The Sceptick, the Deist, the Atheist, under what Class shall we place them?
A31025What will become of it in the end?
A31025With what implacable Enmity, did the Presbyterian and Independant prosecute each other?
A31425And can we now be such Degenerate Christians,( if we can be said to be Christians at all) as to make nothing at all of Schism and Separation?
A31425And shall Peace be broken only in the Church, where it ought to be kept most entire?
A31425And that by those, who acknowledg it to be possible, and within their power?
A31425Are any in Prison?
A31425Are not the Peace and Unity of the Church, things, that ought greatly to sway with all Sober, Humble, and Considering Christians?
A31425Are they satisfied in their Consciences, to join in Communion with us, and will they not do it for the sake of the Church of God?
A31425But where do we meet with these prohibitions?
A31425Do they complain of their Ministers being Silenced now?
A31425Does not the Apostle say, that if it be possible, and as much as in us lies, we are to live Peaceably with all Men?
A31425For did ever any Man,( the Bishop of Rome excepted) lay claim to Infallibility?
A31425If we be the Body of Christ, do not they that Seperate from the Body, Seperate from the Head also?
A31425Now I beseech our Dissenting, or rather Inconstant Brethren, to reason a little; if our Communion be sinful, why did they enter into it?
A31425Thus it was then, and whether the same Leaven do not still spread and ferment, and perhaps as much as ever, there is just cause to suspect?
A31425if it be lawful, why do they forsake it?
A31425not in the word of God, not in the nature and reason of the things themselves?
A66417And where shall we meet, if it be not in some settlement: and in what shall we agree, if the present Constitution will not so far unite us?
A66417But I would fain know what is hereby intended, whether such would bring us to confusion or settlement?
A66417Can they secure us, that their Model will take, and that all Parties that now joyn against ours, will center in theirs?
A66417I may well say, is not the hand of the Jesuit in all this?
A66417If a settlement be intended, I would as willingly know where they will fix?
A53674Are the Judgments of God coming on the Nation?
A53674But is it not as plainly written by St. Paul, If I yet serve men, I should not be the servant of Christ; as Wo be unto me if I Preach not the Gospel?
A53674But why then is this kept up as such a mighty Secret in the breasts of their Teachers?
A53674Doth Atheism abound among us?
A53674For what is the end of all Churches for which they are instituted?
A53674In cujus perniciem aliquando convenimus?
A53674Is it for fear they should have none left to Preach to?
A53674Is it lest they should seem to condemn themselves, whil''st they Preach against Separation in a Separate Congregation?
A53674Is it not the Edification of them that do believe?
A53674Is it that they fear the Reproaches of the People?
A53674Is there danger of Popery?
A53674What are the means appointed of Christ in such Churches for that end?
A53674Why do they not Preach to them in their Congregations?
A48755All their maintenance being then taken away; and little hope left of seeing it restored?
A48755And will you never see your errors?
A48755And yet, when by such wicked suggestions, this Church was pulled down, how few of them were there found, that revolted unto Popery?
A48755Consider I beseech you; what dreadful out- cries should we have heard; had any person among us said any thing like to this blasphemy?
A48755For what I pray?
A48755How can these things consist together; that men should be making their advances nearer and nearer to Rome, and not then close with it?
A48755In such a great man as this, how should he see any thing amiss?
A48755Is not that as great an out- cry every where, as this of du Moulin''s?
A48755Is that Divine honourably treated by another, who accuses him of the most dangerous Heterodoxy?
A48755Now what doth this vain man and great admirer of such a Father?
A48755O how dear( may I say) are some opinions to him?
A48755Or what regard is to be had to him?
A48755What is all this but lewd and ignorant, if not malicious railing?
A48755What shall we do with such a man as this?
A48755Why are you so injurious to such men?
A48755Why did not the corrupt party( as he terms it) then follow their inclinations, if they had any that way, when there was so great a temptation?
A48755Why do they tempt them to it, by their out- cries against the Church; and by pouring forth such scurrilous language in their Pamphlets?
A48755and affirms he doth turpiter hallucinari, filthily mistake; and promotes the cause of the adversaries, and destroys his own?
A48755or not ingenuously acknowledge them?
A48755what is the cause of this strange difference, that he can see no fault in him, and nothing but faults in others?
A67878Being demanded of me in jest, Whether also the Jews agreed with the Samaritans?
A67878Being demanded, whether Mrs. Cellier had not been with her in the Tower from Mr. Willoughby?
A67878Secondly, what points of these Offers I shall first put them upon to enlarge and clear?
A67878That he askt him, If they taught him to kill his King?
A67878That here, upon he asked Mr. Gadbury, How no hurt should befall him, when in his Opinion it could be no less than Death?
A67878Then said the Lord Powis, No, no, my Lord Arundel does onely this to try you: But my Lord( continued he) what would you give him to kill the King?
A67878Thirdly, what other Points and Queries I shall propose to them, and in what manner?
A67878Whether they did not pour Oyl upon those Flames?

A54191''T is Fact we differ, and upon a point wherein Vnity is out of our Power: such as we are, what shall we do?

A54191It was he that ask''t that hard, but just Question, Who art thou that judgest another mans Servant?
A54191Let us reflect what it was confounded the first Tongue, and if Disobedience has not divided Man''s Judgment?

B04307s.n.,[ London: 1665?]
B04307what Story''s this, that makes so great a stir?
A33206And do not the Presbyterians forsake the Church of England for greater purity?
A33206But do you think that God will give them thanks for what they did, because of their good meaning?
A33206But how do they prove them Unlawful?
A33206But if any Man ask, Who is to be Judge of things Indifferent as to a Mans practice, whether his own Conscience or his Superior?
A33206But then how can Authority pretend to abridge private Persons of Judging, as to their own practice concerning Indifferent things?
A33206But what is it that they mean by this greater purity of Worship for which they Separate?
A33206But why should a Man disparage himself so much, as not to use that Understanding which God hath given him in matters that Concern his Salvation?
A33206Do they shew where God hath forbidden them?
A33206How then do they prove those things Unlawful to be done in Gods Worship, which God hath not forbidden either in the Law of Nature or Scripture?
A33206I proceed next to consider the Difference with respect to that common Question, Who shall be the Judge?
A33206The Difference with respect to that Common Question who shall be the Judge?
A33206Wherein doth this purity consist?
A33206against praying in an unknown Tongue; can they shew us any Text in all the Bible against praying by a Form of Words?
A41363A quarter of an hour after Morgan calls, What is not that fellow yet gone?
A41363And would you have done it?
A41363At length I discovered who I was, saying to the four standers by, Is not this a Prime Rascal to swear against a man, whom he never knew nor saw?
A41363But pray, Gentlemen, why do you enquire this of me?
A41363But then Skirm was filled with great wrath, and with Dammees and other Execrations askt how I dared to open the Door?
A41363Did you, Sir, ever hear that he was Chaplain to the Lord Holles?
A41363Doth Mr. Newman( saith he) know any thing of it?
A41363Holt not long after died ravingly mad, and crying out against Perjury, and demanding what''s the reward of False Swearing?
A41363I and my two fellow Prisoners demanded for what reason this was offered?
A41363Immediately the Mother bawls out, What do you not care a Fart for the Mayor?
A41363The Mayor replied, you intimate that you know Mr. Godwyn to be a Clergyman, and do you not know his place of Abode?
A41363Their undecent words and gestures extorted from this question; Do you thus speak and act by your Masters Order?
A41363Warren was angry, and Aldworth askt them what they came thither for, if th ● ● would not Swear?
A41363We first desired to know whether he had at any time heard of one Mr. Thomas Godwyn Vicar of St. Philips in Bristol?

A54102And why all this Unkindness and Injustice, but for fear such men of Wrath and Interest should want a pretence to destroy them?
A54102But I pray, how does this shake the Reasonableness of Liberty of Conscience?
A54102But is this the Dissenters case?
A54102But what does this Man think of an opposite Head and Body, the Head of one Mind, and the Body of another?
A54102But what then?
A54102But why?
A54102For his Query, How long Toleration has been a Christian Virtue?
A54102Granting this to be so, what''s that to Liberty of Conscience?
A54102Have they askt for the Churches, or do they usurp the Pulpits?
A54102He concludes in defence of the Church of England''s Severity, and says, Tell me how Christ can be Head of opposite Bodies?
A54102I only pray to be informed, I say, when, where and how?
A54102If any Man has done ill, must the Principle suffer, and the Party pay the Reckoning, especially if neither be in the Fault?
A54102Is it Insolence, and that unsufferable too, for men to humbly pray, they may have leave to say their Prayers in another way than that which is common?
A54102May I not better say, a rare Consequence?
A54102Or how did that Principle come to lay three Kingdoms in Blood?
A54102Riddle me, Riddle me, what''s this?
A54102Secondly, If they that made the War, disown''d it, and deny''d it, how were they Patrons of it?
A54102They said, Lord, wilt thou that we command that Fire come down from Heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
A54102What a stir is here that men pray to be quiet?
A54102What stuff is this for a man of some Wit and Words?
A54102Will other Princes give better Terms in their Countries, or keep them better?
A54102You would not give it to me, that you wou''d not, and therefore why should I give it to you?
A54102must you persecute where your Head forbids it?
A54102or out of your Communion either, do they teach the use of Fornication, and Idolatrous Food?
A26410And are you not willing that those that never harmed you, should enjoy theirs?
A26410And if ye salute your Brethren onely, what do ye more then others?
A26410And those that were away, Did not they feel the smart of it?
A26410And whether there is not a farther Aggravation, if the worser be allowed, and the better be suppressed?
A26410And will you now force others to forsake what they are perswaded to?
A26410And would you now most cruelly justle others out?
A26410Are you glad that you are brought into the Land of your Nativity again?
A26410Are you now setting up that Worship, that you judge to be agreeable to the mind of God?
A26410Can you be contented to enjoy your own?
A26410Did the hand of God follow them for their cruel and unjust Actings to you and the King, as most of you do say it did?
A26410Did you cry out of them, and think you that others, will not cry out of you, if you be found such Actors to others?
A26410Did you not all both abroad and at home, cry out of Oppression, Cruelty and Tyranny?
A26410Do not even the Publicans the same?
A26410Foot long in New Gate?
A26410How fared it with you, you that were continually in England?
A26410Was it evil in them to use you so, for your Loyalty to King Charles?
A26410Was not those that bo ● e sway in England your continual Tormentors, your fear and dayly dread?
A26410Was not your Loyalty to King Charles the first, and King Charles the second, a great cause of your Hardships, most of you?
A26410Whether it be without Partiality?
A26410do not even the Publicans the same?
A26410for how can there be a choice, where the tryi ● g any but one is restrained?
A26410whether they would be willing to be served so themselves?
A34916Have we been at any time found plotters against the life of any person?
A34916If we be in an error, why do not you come and convince us of that error?
A34916Wo is me for thee; dost thou sport thy self, and make such actions thy mirth?
A34916and have ye not read, how that the wicked and blood- thirsty shall not live out half their dayes?
A34916and is it because our Religion is different from yours?
A34916and must our innocent blood be mingled with thy daily Sacrifices?
A34916do you think to force us to yours by sheding our bloods?
A34916how darest thou then go about to limit and set bounds to his holy Spirit, in any appearance whatsoever in his People?
A34916if we be deluded, why do not you come amongst us, and tell us wherein?
A34916is all given up to obduracy and hardness of heart?
A34916is it past the Magistrates power, or can not his sword comprehend it?
A34916or any that have in the least fomented mischief, or trouble to the Government?
A34916or have we been peace- breakers, or tumult- raisers?
A34916or have we been sowers of sedition?
A34916think ye God eternal is not as just as he hath been, and that he will not recompence your work into your bosom?
A34916where are you that call your selves Overseers or Bishops, and by some( reverend Fathers in God?)
A34916why do you hunt our lives, as a Partridge is hunted upon the Mountain?
A34916wilt thou that comes forth of time, and ends in time, go about to comprehend eternitie in thy vain imaginations?
A67481If there was not one Protestant Dissenter in England, how would that hinder a Popish Successor from bringing in Popery?
A67481Pray Sir, were you never on the Negative side in any Law that was pass''d in those Parliaments wherein you sate?
A54101And will they refuse to be unshakled?
A54101Are there Sanballats, Tobiah''s, and Geshem''s, who vex themselves that there is come a Man to seek the Welfare of all his Israel?
A54101Are there not also, to make the Dissenter compleatly miserable, Imprisoning, Banishing, murdering Laws?
A54101Can the Church of England( Circumstances considered) possibly invent a better Security than she hath by his Majesties Declaration?
A54101Has God put it into the King''s Heart to pitty them, who are left of the Captivity, such whom Penal Laws have not destroyed?
A54101Hath not the Church of England persisted to exercise her Severities upon all Dissenters within her reach, even in the present Reign?
A54101Have we not, with regret beheld the Execution of these Laws?
A54101May this go for some sort of measure of the Churches Interest?
A54101Shall the Fanaticks with alacrity come into the King''s Interest, and will the Church of England appear sullen, soure and averse thereto?
A54101The Ecclesiasticks and some of their designing Adherents, are indeed angry, and why?
A54101To them, what can the Invention of Cruelty it self add?
A54101What would she further have?
A54101Will any Member of the Church of England( so fam''d for Loyalty) repine at his Majesties being truly Glorious?
A54101Will she call into question the Sincerity of his Majesties Promise?
A54101surely no; and hath not this his Act of Tenderness, added highly to his Glory?
B06802''TWixt Heaven and thee, how sprung these fatal jars, That thou( Poor Robin) rail''st against the Stars?
B06802To thee what have their influences done, With so much zeal to bark against the Moon?
B06802What have those Reverend Prelates done to thee Thus to blaspheme their pious memory?
A44672And by whose Authority were such Laws made?
A44672And do all that go under the name of the Church of England agree among themselves?
A44672And doth not the World know, that wherein we differ from them, we differ from the Papists too?
A44672And hath God given any Men authority to make Laws against himself, and to deprive him of his just Rights from his own Creatures?
A44672And herein is it not well known, that far the greater part of Reformed Christendom do more agree with us?
A44672And is not this meer Accidental to Christianity and Protestantism?
A44672And that, for the most part, wherein they differ from us, they seem to agree with them?
A44672And where is that Man that will adventure to stand forth, and avow the hindering of such Persons from paying their Homage to the God that made them?
A44672Are all fit to approach that sacred Table, whom the fear of ruin, or hope of gain may bring thither?
A44672But we would fain know whose is that Holy Table?
A44672If the Lord''s; are not persons to be admitted, or excluded upon his terms?
A44672If we thus expostulate the matter on Gods behalf, and their own; will you cut off from God his Right in the Creatures he hath made?
A44672Is it for our Reputation to Posterity, that the Memory of such a Law should be continued?
A44672Is it the Table of this or that Party, or the Lord''s Table?
A44672Is there any, that is not from God?
A44672VVhether such Laws should be continued?
A44672What reply can the matter admit?
A44672When it is your own turn to be represented by others, is this part of the Trust you commit?
A44672Whether it be reasonable to exclude, all that in every thing conform not to the Church of England, from any part or share of the Civil Power?
A44672Whether the Dissenters are to be blamed for their holding distinct Meetings for the worship of God?
A44672Will you cut off from them the means of their Salvation, upon these terms?
A44672Would it not be a wise Constitution, that whosoever thinks it lawful to eat Black- Pudding, shall be capable of no Office,& c?
A44672and one of less value be taken for qualified, because he does it a different way?
A55112And the Lord Gray a Church of England Man?

A55112For answer, What kept out Popery before the Test was made?
A55112I answer, Is not the Principles of the Church of England, and some others not far different, tho Dissenting fro ● them, the same?
A55112It s well known to the contrary; Was not Monmouth a Church of England Man?
A55112Was not Paul while Saul a Persecutor, yet by the Lor ● s Power Converted?
A55112how many poor Souls hav ● you, by your cruel Laws, an ● Excecutione ● s, made to violate their Consciences, and make shipwrack of Faith?

A55112what Laws have been made under severe Penalties, to force People to this or that Religion, whether they have Faith in it or no?
A42476And how your cause, and the Churches, will stand represented to them, and to all future Ages?
A42476Could your conscience serve Not to be fools, and yet to let them starve?
A42476Do not they know, that for Oathes the Land mourned?
A42476In a word, whether you shall obey or Rebel?

A42476what contempt of the Clergy?
A42476what novelties of opinions?
A42476what sacrilegious invasions of the Church?
A42476what undecencies of administration?

A33374Can it be thought, that, France will be at ease in this manner, or that wise people will think this an equitable way of governing?
A33374Do Christian Ethics allow these most unchristian Policies?
A33374How is it that the Prisons of the Kingdom are cram''d, with Fugitives stopt by the way?
A33374How many Bankrupts made?

A75884And let us not think to be above our Master, for if they have called the Master of the house Belzebub, how much more them of his houshold?
A75884Is not the Israel of God now Defied by the Great Goliahs of our Times?
A75884Should such a man as I Betray and break the Lawes and Cause of Christ?
A75884Should such a man as I take Sanctuary?
A75884So must I say at this Day, Is there not a Cause?
A64350A change in the Church naturally produceth some change in the State; and in such changes who can secure the Event for the better?
A64350Against all this Craft and Strength, what( under God) can Protestants oppose which is equal to the Power of the Church of England?
A64350And whilst they secretly Dissent, would you force them into an Hypocritical Compliance?
A64350Can they both Assent and Dissent?
A64350First, What those Ends are which are proposed by the Dissenters?
A64350Have not these Trumpets and these poor Pitchers had their share, and a good share too, in bringing down the Walls of Jericho, and the Camp of Midian?
A64350Now, a blessed exchange, were it not?
A64350They demand of injudicious Men how they can, in Prudence, joyn with those who are at variance among themselves?
A64350They will( it may be) say to me, can Men be persuaded two contrary ways?
A64350What say some others?
A64350When( said he) they have made the State present naught, no Remedy; we must have a better for it, and so a change needs: What Change?
A64350and have not they( like the Story in Ezekiel) if I may so express it, Prophesy''d you up an Army?
A55819And what can we say for our selves if we continue deaf as to all this?
A55819But to come to the Liturgy it self; are there not many things in it which with some shew of reason our dissenting Brethren except against?
A55819For doth he think we are bound never to make any new Constitutions in our Church, or abolish old ones, according as the exigencies of it doe require?
A55819Have we not already lost our reputation with the people of the Land by insisting too rigorously on those things?
A55819If so, why have we any Convocations at all?
A55819Is it not enough that we have had already a twenty years War about them?
A55819It is objected, If we once begin to alter, where shall we stop?
A55819The seventh Objection is, If we make those alterations and so often change, how shall we answer the Papists, who will upbraid us with it?
A55819To which I answer, Why more now than in 1662. when all readily complyed with and approved the like alterations?
A55819and are there not many more which we our selves heartily wish might be amended and improved?
A55819and hath not the Church ever asserted this power as one of the most essential things which belong to its Constitution?
A55819and must it now renounce all this for the sake of this Gentleman''s motto?
A54229And for packing of a Parliament, if that were the business and Design at last; why is it not attempted at first?
A54229Besides, what have they further to seek, or which way can they possibly agree it?
A54229But by the same reason that they can Repeal this, they may Enact another, and if so, may not the House of Peers be quickly another set of Men?
A54229But if this were not so, is it the same thing to dispence with a Temporary, as a fundamental Law?
A54229Does his going to a Conventicle naturally unqualifie him for a Constables Staff?
A54229If no other security can be had, I say then, let this that is, remain, if there may be such a thing, why should we not imbrace it?
A54229Is the love of Power first objected, and then a design to make a Common- Wealth with it?
A54229Ought she to differ thus with any body?
A54229Should a Mans being of any Religion, hinder him from serving the Country of his Birth?
A54229The Tests, the chief, if not the only thing in debate, have they any Foundation in our Constitution?
A54229To say there is none, is ridiculous; for who can tell, what they may think upon, or from other heads, what may occur to them?
A54229What Tides are these in Government?

A54229and such Laws as are so specially accommodated, that the reason of them may not live three Years to an end?
A54229and what State is safe, or happy, whose Foundations float upon such movable measures?

A34538And dare any say they are but a sound of words without matter agreeable to the Stile?
A34538And if we yield not our controversies to be finally decided by this sacred Rule, whither shall we go, or wherein shall we all be bound up?
A34538And who are the greater controlers of Gods wisdom, and usurpers upon his authority?
A34538And why should any forbid them that are thus qualified to use their gift?
A34538Are not the holy Scriptures of right both their Rule and ours?
A34538Are some displeased and grieved that I do it?
A34538As for such as rest in these things, what are they more in the eye of God, than the heathens that know him not?
A34538But what glory or safety ● s there in a publick Order that is, and ever will be made the subject of controversie, more than the Rule of Unity?
A34538Do some take occasion by my necessary use of a just liberty, to embolden themselves to sin?
A34538For in what center will the judiciously Conscientious unite, if not in the revealed mind and will of God, as it is apprehended by them?
A34538For why must the Spirit of God be thought to do less in exciting to good, then the Devill ordinarily doth in prompting to evil?
A34538Have they any Authority over us, or are they any way a Rule unto us?
A34538How are we obliged or concerned to conform to their usages more than they are to ours?
A34538In the mean time, why may not these be upon as good terms under the present Government, as the Novatians were under the Government of their times?
A34538Is Scripture liable to be perverted?
A34538Is it plain that I ought to obey the commands of Rulers in things that have Gods allowance?
A34538Is there obscurity and difficulty in the interpretation of Scripture?
A34538Should any professing subjection to God, maintain under his charge and government an open Rebellion against God, or at least a totall neglect of him?
A34538Should not God rule, where his Servant rules?
A34538Should not the Stewards of the mysteries of God indeavour to supply what is lacking to such by reason of the rigourousness or negligence of others?
A34538Should the matters of life and death eternal be delivered without feeling, as by men half asleep?
A34538This striving to come so near them whether tends it, but to reduce us again into that Church?
A34538What do ye more than Others?
A34538What manner of Christian Church is that, which to prevent Heresie and Schism, takes order that its Members be no Christians?
A34538What manner of civil State is that, which degrades the Subjects from Men to Beasts, for a more absolute Dominion over them?
A34538Which is the Church, or an Answer to the Question, Where was your Church before Luther?
A34538Why should we be tenacious of their Forms, to the scandal of those of our own Belief?
A34538Yea, are not Converts bound by all means to seek the conversion of others?
A44093And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A44093Are not all Congregations, where the same Doctrine is preached, and the same Worship, I mean Acts of Worship, performed, of the same Communion?
A44093But is it lawful to go to other Parish- Churches?
A44093But, Sir, did ever any Man before him reason from impossibility, to unlawfulness of endeavour?
A44093Doth the Difference in the Ministers Habits, and Words in Prayer, make a different Communion?

A44093How is that proved?
A44093How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A44093Is it for their not agreeing with the Doctrines of Faith expressed in the Thirty Nine Articles?
A44093Must we take in Poison instead of Food, or not be fed at all?
A44093Or because she is fully constituted for Devotion?
A44093Or because the Doctrine of our Church presseth a Necessity of an Holy Life in Order to Salvation?
A44093Shall the following Words expound him?
A44093That he doth not understand, what it is to be better saved, or more saved?
A44093What doth he mean by a schismatical Separation?
A44093What hath my Neighbour to do with my Soul, further than to admonish me, if he seeth Sin upon me?
A44093What is the meaning of that?
A44093Wherein it lies?
A44093Which of the Ten Commandments it opposeth,& c?
A34955But what do we talk of a Primitive Church?
A34955But what shall we do now?
A34955Do they depart from us that they may Worship God more in Spirit and in Truth?
A34955Do they depart from us, because they can not joyn in our Publick Prayers, with Devotion enough?
A34955Do they disobey because the thing is indifferent?
A34955Does the Scripture fetter his Conscience?
A34955For who gave me Authority to call that Evil which God Almighty hath not by some Law or other declared to be so?
A34955Is it Superstition they dread?
A34955Is this weakness?
A34955May not their weakness deserve some Pitty too?
A34955Must we be thus Angry with the Primitive Church, because we find too much Loyalty there?
A34955Now then if the Schismatick tell us, his Conscience will not suffer him to submit; where then is his Liberty of Conscience?
A34955Shall I be first guilty of Sin, a remisness at my Prayers; and then make my Sin an Apology for my Schism?
A34955What?
A34955Who can resist the power of the invincible Argument?
A34955Who can withstand the Charm?
A34955Why all this Noise?
A34955Why do they thus fight with us disengeniously and basely, like Parthians, who turning their backs, scatter''d their Arrows from behind them?
A34955Why then do our Schismaticks by going off from our Church, from the common safe Path,( to say no more) expose themselves to so great dangers?
A34955alass when will this be?
A34955and will Religion then, Religion, which is or should be the very Bond and Cement of Societies, will that also crumble us to pieces?
A34955and 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 too, united in a beautiful Order and Symmetry of parts?
A34955but have not they themselves some Tincture of that too, at least while they( I may venture to say) superstitiously avoid it?
A34955have we not known the time, when they honour''d their Factious Preachers even to Superstition?
A34955how could we have avoided the just imputation of a most Uncharitable Separation from the Ancient Church?
A34955in what Aetna; but in his own zealous over- heated brain?
A34955in what Vulcans Shop?
A34955or because commanded?
A34955shall Mahomet go to the Mountain, or the Mountain come to Mahomet?
A34955shall these Mens Conscience come to the Law, or the Law to these Mens Conscience?
A34955shew where?
A34955where were they forged?
A34955who put those Fetters upon his Conscience, but himself; what Cyclops made those Fetters?
A47888And what Then?
A47888And what was the business, but This?
A47888Averrs?)
A47888BUT is it True then, that the Popish Emissaryes are so busy, and bear so great a sway among Our Dissenters?
A47888But What?
A47888But what is a NARRATIVE?
A47888How come the Multitude to be Judges of Plots, and Popery, more than of Other Crimes and Misdemeanours?
A47888How does all This amount to the Proof of a Faction?
A47888How it comes, of a Down right Popish- Plot, to be a Popishly- Affected- Plot?
A47888If you ask me, To what End?
A47888Is This doing as we would be done by?
A47888NOW the Narrative here in question, is the Narrative of The PLOT; but then there will arise Another Question; Of WHAT Plot?
A47888Or is it doing either as we Have been done by?
A47888Or, What''s the Benefit of Imposing these Flams upon the Nation?
A47888Shall any man Argue that the Disparagement of a Juggle, weakens a Truth?
A47888Shall any man Infer That there were no black Bills Provided, because there were no Arms found in Sr Henry Titchburns house?
A47888What a Bustle there was about Mr. Langhorns being Bury''d in the Temple, and what Remarks upon the Government for shewing That Countenance to Papists?
A47888What becomes of Magna Charta, at This rate, and the Priviledges of an English mans Birth right?
A47888What is become of the Manhood, and Generosity of the English Nation; That we are fal''n into This Insatiate Thirst of Bloud?
A47888What is my Affirming that Langhorn was not Bury''d in the Temple, to the Business of Valladolid, or Salamanea?
A47888Where to our Fellow- Subjects; in our Needlesse, and Unmannerly Importunities, for more Rigour then the very Letter of the Law will bear?
A47888Where''s our Respect to our Superiours; while we thus Arraign Authority?
A47888must the Evidence therefore of the Pistol and the Dagger be one too?
A50967And are Penal Laws the onely strength by which you Support the Church?
A50967Are you the only Pillar upon which the best Church in the World is Built?
A50967Do you not Attribute too much to your self in this?
A50967Does any thing of this kind Flow naturally from the King''s Declaration?
A50967Does that Engage or Incline you, or any Man else to teach any Doctrine contrary to his own Sentiment?
A50967Here is a far fetch''d Inference; How would you be understood?
A50967Is the whole, and every part of the Declaration contrary to all, and every part of your Doctrine by Law Established?
A50967Is this Intended as a Memorial of unmannerly Disobedience at First, and undutiful Carriage at Last?
A50967No more Charity, then to be Provoked to be your Enemies by it?
A50967No more Resolution then to be Discouraged by it?
A50967Of what us ● is the Rubrick to which they have Subscribed, which directs them to read what the King or their Ordnary enjoyns?
A50967You take the Declaration to be a Contradiction of the Doctrine of your Church by Law Established; In what Sence shall I take your say so?
A50967or what is that you signify, by your Resusing to Thank Him, which must now be Recompenced by Reading?
A34533And what Prince that hath cast off the Popes yoke, would willingly come under it again?
A34533And why may it not be minded by Subjects, and spoken of without any hint or thought of Rebellion?
A34533And why should the judgments of such men be rack''d, and their spirits vexed with curious scrutinies?
A34533And will the chief Shepherd at his appearing justifie this usage of his faithful Servants?
A34533But can they believe that the Church of God in these Nations, is terminated in them alone?
A34533Can a man by Subscription and Practice, allow those things which his Conscience rationally doubts to be sinful?
A34533Can nothing undo a Kingdom, but Rebellion and Treason?
A34533Doth the Lord of the Harvest command that such Labourers be thrust out of his Service?
A34533For if God hath received them, why should their fellow- servants reject or afflict them causlesly?
A34533Hath Popery its advantages to dispose Subjects to security and blind obedience?
A34533If it be said, Who shall judg what things are necessary?
A34533If the Affairs of the Commonwealth should go backwards, can the Clergy alone be at rest in their Honour, Power and Wealth?
A34533Is it their honour, strength, or safety, that such men should be numbred among their opposites?
A34533Is not Moderation and Charity far more excellent, then glorying in Opinions, Formalities, and petty matters, to the regret of many Consciences?
A34533May we mind, without offence, the event of things among us?
A34533Or that it dreads a general diffusion of knowledg in the people?
A34533Shall it be said of the English Prelacy, That it can not stand without the ejection of Thousands of Orthodox, Pious Ministers?
A34533The ancient Sacred Bonds of Fidelity, are not questioned; and if they do not, what others can oblige and awe the Conscience?
A34533Was there ever a greater Separation from the Church of England, then now is?
A34533Was there ever less satisfaction among Multitudes every where, t ● at do yet frequent her Assemblies?
A34533What can be of greater concernment to Governors, then to discern and consider the state of their people, as it is indeed?
A34533What can it avail, to disturb a People that would settle in peace, and whose Peace is accommodated to the Publick Weal, and bound up together with it?
A34533What if those that question her Injunctions, should be weak, nice and captious?
A34533What need hath the Church to enjoyn more then what is necessary to Faith and Order?
A34533Who, or what is there almost, that this or the like Latitude would not encompass, when hearty endeavours are put forth to gain men?
A34533Why will the established Clergy refuse their Brethren, and set them at such a distance?
A48867And will you suppose they will do so no more?
A48867Are all the Church of England cruel merciless Persecutors, because some of them are so( and that not a few of them neither)?
A48867Are they Droans that live by the sweat of other mens Brows; or rather, are they not painful and industrious, addicted to Trade and Manufactories?
A48867Are they all Debauched, or guilty of Adultery, Atheism, Blasphemy, and Murther?
A48867Are they all Socinians?
A48867Besides, who shall Elect such great numbers of Papists, and where will they be Chosen?
A48867Can you desire again to be in bondage, even whilst your Wounds are bleeding fresh, and your Backs soar with the Lashes you received from them?
A48867Is he not willing and desirous that an equal Liberty to all should grow up with, and be twisted in his Government?
A48867Is not a great part of the Trade of the Nation managed by them, whereby the Poor are imployed, His Majesties Customs and Revenues increased?
A48867Is that lawful, commendable, or a Vertue in you, which is hateful, wicked, and abominable in others?
A48867Shall we, that have wofully experienced the verity hereof, approve the contrary, or in any measure contract this Guilt?
A48867Were there no Ministers Silenced, nor persons Executed, Banished, or Imprisoned before your days?
A48867Where is that person of any Note or Figure in the World, that would be so used for his kindness and benignity?
A48867and if so, by what Laws?
A48867and who were the Authors or Actors therein?
A48867are your Sufferings the first persecution by these Laws?
A48867doth he not establish his Throne on that Basis?
A48867hath he ever Brow- beaten any man for his Opinion?
A48867hath he ever solicited any man to change his Opinion and become Roman Catholique, to increase his Party?
A48867hath he made any Limitations or Restrictions therein, to exclude any for their Religious Sentiments?
A48867hath he not laid the greatest Obligations on Himself, to assure the whole World that he will be true and steady thereunto?
A48867or what reason is there for his frequent solemn Promises to make it good?
A48867what need else was there of publishing those Reasons, since a bare Indulgence without them, might have served a Turn?
A48867what then means the many Petitions and Apologies against them, made by Dissenters in each Kings Reign since they were first Enacted?
A48867who, or where is the instance of this kind?
A59544And my business is to Examine whether such a Belief or Perswasion of the Vnlawfulness of our Communion will justifie any Mans Separation from us?
A59544And what is to be done by such Persons, in order, either to their Communicating, or not Communicating with us, with a safe Conscience?
A59544And what other measures have we of any Mans Sincerity or Hypocrisie?
A59544And will it be a sufficient Excuse or Justification of my Action in such a Case to say; that indeed herein I did but Act according to my Perswasion?
A59544But how is this to be done?
A59544But what is to be done in this Case?
A59544But what of all this?
A59544For if indeed they did believe, it was a Sin in them to joyn with us in our Prayers and Sacraments; with what Conscience dare they do it at all?
A59544I say, what is there that more concerns him to do?
A59544If he saith he is bound in Conscience to do this or the other thing, whether he doth not mean this?
A59544If he saith that he can do it with a Safe Conscience whether he hath any other meaning than this?
A59544If he saith that it is against his Conscience to do such an Action; whether he means any more than this?
A59544Is now such a Person as this Guilty of Idolatry in these Practices or is he not?
A59544It will be said, What, would you have a Man do in this Case?
A59544Now I pray, what do we mean by these expressions?
A59544Or how far it will do it?
A59544That he can not joyn in our Worship without Sin: what will we say to such a Man as this?
A59544Well, but is there no avoiding of this?
A59544Well, now the point is, Whether such a Man, believing as he doth, be upon that Account acquitted from the Sin of Idolatry?
A59544What is the Notion that any of us hath of a Wilful Sin, or a Sin against Knowledg, but this?
A59544What now shall we say to this?
A59544What therefore should every Dissenter among us do, that hath any regard to his Duty, and would preserve a good Conscience?
A59544Where then was their Conscience?
A59544Will we still brand him for a Schismatick, notwithstanding he hath done all he can, to bring himself over to us; but can not?
A59544Will we still say that this Man must either Conform, though against his Conscience; or he is a Schismatick before God?
A59544Would we have them joyn with us in these Practices which they verily believe to be Sins?
A59544whether they be a part of this Rule, and do really bind a Mans Conscience to the Observance of them or no?
A48123And that in fine, they should again publickly adore those vain Idols?
A48123And where is the Protestant who would buy Liberty of Conscience at so dear a rate, and not rather choose to continue deprived of it all his Life?
A48123And whosoever Suffers and Approves the King in the Violation of these Rights in some things, does he not thereby Authorise him to violate them in all?
A48123And with what inhumanity she spilt the Blood of her most faithful Subjects to accomplish that design?
A48123And yet after all, what scruple was there made to violate so many Laws, so many Promises, and so many Oaths?
A48123Are not the Rights of the People concerned in the one, as well as in the other?
A48123But above all, could you resolve by your Conduct to condemn that of those generous Confessors?
A48123Can you doubt of this, Gentlemen?
A48123How many Declarations, how many Edicts did he set out to that purpose?
A48123How many Oaths were taken to confirm those Edicts?
A48123How often did our King promise us to preserve us in our Priviledges?
A48123Is this the Acknowledgment which you ought to have made to them for that Charity, with which they had received and comforted you in your Exile?
A48123Is this the Act of Faithful Ministers of Christ?
A48123Is this to Answer the Glorious Quality of Confessors, of which you so much vaunt your selves?
A48123Should they for enjoying a Liberty of Conscience so ill assured, shut their Eyes to all other Considerations?
A48123Were not both the one and the other made for the Security of the Protestant Religion, and of those who profess it?
A48123Were they not both established by the King and Parliament?
A48123Would you indeed, Gentlemen, see England once more submitted to the tyranny of the Pope, whose Yoke it so happily threw off in the last age?
A48123You who so lately came from making a sad Experiment of it?
A48123himself solemnly promise by several Edicts and Declarations to maintain us in all the Liberties which were granted to us by the Edict of Nantes?
A47846& c. — And must This Covenant be Abjur''d now?
A47846( B) Have you not sins enow of your own, but will you wrap your selves up in the Treachery, Murther, Blood, Cruelty and Tyranny of others?
A47846( C) What?
A47846( M) Who were they but the poorer and meaner sort of People that at the first joyn''d with the Ministers to raise the Building of Reformation?
A47846( P) A Word to the People: Are Magistrates your Servants?
A478468] Where are our Moseses, our Eliah''s?
A47846Abjure such a Covenant?
A47846Darst thou be so Impudent to put thy self in Gods Stead; to meddle with Mens Consciences, and Lord it in Religious Concerns?
A47846Did not Prolacy?
A47846H. What hope that the Reformed Religion will be protected and maintained by the Son, which was so irreligiously betray''d by the Father?
A47846Have we so learn''d Christ, as to make Scurrility and Railing the Badge of our Profession?
A47846Is it the Language of the Disciples of Jesus Christ?
A47846Is not God''s Own Word, and God Himself too after a sort Abjured in That Act, whoever are guilty of it?
A47846Is this pretended Tenderness of Christianity the stile of the Gospel, or no?
A47846Let the Reader Judge n ● w if These be not fit Workmen to be employ''d in the Repairing of our Breaches?
A47846Now can it be imagin''d, that any Man will take upon him to defend the Late Sedition, that does not stand as well- affected to another?
A47846Thine own Commons, who are so Zealous for thine Honour?
A47846What Instigations are there to any execrable Practice upon the Sacred Person of His Majesty in( Q. and R?)
A47846What Warrant, Command, or Commission had Phineas, which we can not now expect?
A47846What can be more Inflaming, Scandalous and Pharisaical then the Clause,( C?)
A47846What horrible Affronts upon the King, Parliament and Government in( P?)
A47846When, O God; When( I say) wilt thou Vote amongst the Honourable Commons?
A47846Where are those that lay to heart the danger of the Ark of God?
A47846You have destroy''d Baal and his Priests; but have you been zealous against Golden Calves, and the Priests of the Lowest of the People?
A47846but the very Principals of the Dissenting Ministers?
A47846or more Seditious then( D. E. F. and G?)
A47846when we have so much appear''d against Popery and Superstition, shall we now begin to think of Indifferency and Toleration?
A47846when wilt thou take a Chair, and sit amongst the House of Peers?
A47846— What Authority had a Parliament to give away our Birth- Rights?
A33894And did they not prove false Prophets unto them, and were deceived by them, and led into destruction?
A33894And have they not proved false Prophets, Antichrists, Deceivers, to all ● o t ● of Powers that hath been within these few years?
A33894And now are they not turned to the King, and Preach Peace unto Him, and set all their old servants at nought?
A33894And now what is become of these men called Ministers who( as I said) before the war, and in the war, Preach''d and Prayed against the King?
A33894And then did not they turn to the Army and Protector, and Preach''d Peace and Prosperity to them, and deceived them likewise?
A33894Are these men to be followed as leaders?
A33894Are these men to be regarded as to teach the way to eternall life?
A33894Are they not guilty of all the blood- shed in these Nations?
A33894Can any Government be secure whilst they are the men set up, and their wayes upheld after such a manner as now it is?
A33894Did not they Prophesie Peace and Prosperity to the King and his Party, and did they not deceive him?
A33894Do you think that you do God service to kill us?
A33894For what is it that we desire, which ought not to be granted in reason and equity?
A33894How many thousands have erred and perished by flatterers, but whoever that did hearken to reproof did amiss?
A33894Is the Lord God honoured by these things?
A33894O you that are now Rulers; Are these men to be trusted?
A33894Who do they turn from the evil of their wayes?
A33894and whether the ground of all this be not the large maintenance which is settled upon the Office, and so a Law to force it?
A33894and whether the men called Ministers be at any time with any Government all satisfied?
A33894and whether the same God hath not still reserved all power in his own hands, and can at his pleasure cast you down, as well as lift you up?
A33894and whether their siding do not lead people to side?
A33894and whether there hath been any war in a Nation and the Ministry( so called) had not the chief hand in it?
A33894and whether they be not the most Treacherous, Perfideous, Changable, Deceitfull people of any sort of men?
A33894is the King honoured by any of this?
A6747215 who compass Sea and Land to get Parties to be of their opinions, and by that means beget confusion in both?
A67472And before I pass further, I pray observe, it was Gods Will, that his only Son our Saviour should be betrayed: But who would be the Judas to do it?
A67472And may not the Revenue of a Bishop be thought a just reward for his forty years past study, and his present care, though he preach not?
A67472And next, let me ask you this friendly question: Do you think there is such a sin as Heresie?
A67472And, if by a name of distinction?
A67472But who knows the limits of Sedition?
A67472Can you think the hearing his Masters direction is serving him?
A67472Can you think you are at this time scrving God, or satisfying your own curiosity or malicious humour?
A67472Nay, I ask again, What if we forget or neglect the tender Consciences of our own Party, and comply with yours?
A67472Or could Judas look back with comfort that he was used in betraying him?
A67472Or the Souldiers that Crucified him?
A67472Or, that a year hence their Disciples, or their Successours shall rest satisfied with what is now desired or granted?
A67472Or, when the fire is kindled, which is intended by seditious men, who can, who is able to quench it?
A67472What care will you, or those of your Party, take for their tender Consciences?
A67472What security can you or they give us, that this shall satisfie them so as to ask no more when this is granted?
A66383According to this principle[ no Communion at all, if not in all] where shall we rest?
A66383And to put Religion in reading or uttering Words in a stinted or conceived Form, what is it less than Superstition?
A66383And what reason have you to charge any other mens sins on them,& c. or to think it unlawful to joyn with the good for the sake of the bad?
A66383Is it better in regard of others, in regard of the publick, for the helping me in all my relations?
A66383Is not this to fill the Conscience with scruples, and the Church with rents?
A66383Let these men consider, that Christ is here feasting with his members; will they be ashamed to sit at meat there, where Christ is not ashamed to sit?
A66383So M r Brinsley, Suppose some just grievances may be found among us, yet are they tolerable?
A66383So when it s objected; How can we expect a blessing upon the labours of such though they preach truth?
A66383So when this Question was put, Are they not at all times obliged to use the means which are most edifying?
A66383Thus it is resolved also by one of a more rigid way, who puts this Question; Whether members of particular Churches may hear indifferently elsewhere?
A66383What opinion the sober and eminent Non- Conformists have of Communion with the Church of England?
A66383Will you say therefore that God approveth or consenteth to all these sins?
A66383how zealous were they against Separation?
A66383may it not help one way and hinder many ways?
A66383where Christ vouchsafes fellowship shall man renounce it?
A34754And which of these two did Thwart the Holy Scriptures most?
A34754But Reading is Teaching: Very good; What then?
A34754But how do you know, that you judge Right in this Case now?
A34754But suppose you are right in this point, What Efficacy hath the Clergy''s Reading the King''s Declaration, to take off the Tests and Penal Laws?
A34754But what is the ground of this Jealousie?
A34754But, Why may I not then Read a Homily for Transubstantiation, or Invocation of Saints, if the King sends me such?
A34754But, are not the People Judges for themselves of what you Read?
A34754But, what is this Universal Toleration?
A34754How can you tell that?
A34754If the Order be in your Opinion Sinful, Why do you not shew, what Law of God is Broken by it?
A34754If we fall after Reading, this is the way never to Rise more: And what mean you by that?
A34754Is not this to Recommend the Clergy, as Persons of great Tenderness toward the People?
A34754Let the Question be, Whether every thing Read in the Church, be a part of Divine Service?
A34754Must the Clergy, or His Majesty judge when His Declaration is sufficiently made known?
A34754Where does the Scriptures forbid it?
A34754Who are they that thus thought formerly?
A34754had, to order the Book of Sports to be Read there?
A65301Are we carried every day up to Heaven in a fiery Chariot of Love?
A65301Before I come to the Application, here''s a Question arises, — Why does God make Light to arise to his People, in an hour of Darkness?
A65301Does God make Light, and Joy, and Peace, to arise to the Righteous?
A65301Having done this, if you ask me yet further, what we must do in this time of Darkness, till God makes Light spring up to us?
A65301Is it thus with us?
A65301Jonah called the Whales belly, the belly of Hell; Why so?
A65301Let''s bring our Graces to the Touch- Stone: What Faith have we?
A65301Our Heart and Flesh cry out for the Living God?
A65301Pray observe: Mercy, what ca n''t it do?
A65301The fourth Inference is this: Does God cause Light to spring up to the Upright in all their Darknes?
A65301There ariseth Light in[ Darkness] What''s meant here by Darkness?
A65301What Love to God have we?
A65301What were the World without Light, but a Dark Prison?
A65301What''s meant by Light here?
A65301What''s the mixed Cup?
A65301What''s this Red Wine in the Cup?
A65301While God so delights in this Darling Attribute of Mercy, why should we despair?
A65301Who are here meant by the Upright?
A65301Who would ever have thought that God should have made a Caus ● way for his People to have marched through on, in the midst of the Sea?
A65301Why may not Mercy give the casting Voice for this Nation?
A65301Why may we not hope that the Morning- Star of Deliverance and Mercy may yet appear unto this Island?
A65301Why should we despair?
A65301Why then should we despond, or throw away our Anchor?
A65301Why( I say) should we despond, when''t is God''s great Project and Design, to lighten his Peoples Darkness?
A65301Why, what did Moses do?
A65301are we hid by Faith in the bleeding Wounds of Christ?
A65301does Conscience witness that we not only serve him, but love him?
A65301that God should have made Heaven a Grainary, to drop down Manna for his People to feed on?
A65301till Mercy comes riding to England in the Chariot of Salvation?
A65301who would not serve this God?
A65301— What was this Candle?
A32107And further, I would gladly understand; are any persons sent to go and preach the Gospel after their own sense?
A32107And how shall the Contemners of your Gospel be left unexcusable, but by evidence of their Authority who are sent to reveal it?
A32107And was such Ordination good and valid, yea or no?
A32107Are not all Christians under the same obligations of humility and contempt of Riches as the Clergy?
A32107But all Dissenters proclaim their Extraction from the same Original: which of them shall we believe?
A32107But as to your Party( Sir) I pray who gave them any Authority to Preach their Reformation to these Kingdomes?
A32107But in the last place, can not you justifie your selves by the Sobriety and vertue of your Lives?
A32107By the Loyalty of your Actions?
A32107For erecting an Altar to be ascended by steps?
A32107Fourthly, Or will you derive your Ministry from Christ and his Apostles?
A32107Give me leave to ask whether immediately or mediately?
A32107Hath the Spirit any need of a Directory?
A32107If good, wherefore will you needs abolish it, as repugnant to the Word of God?
A32107If not, what will become of your Orders?
A32107Immediately you will not say; if mediately, I pray inform us by whom?
A32107In the Affairs of this World, Ambassadors you know, must not want their Credentials; how much less the Ambassadors of Religion?
A32107In which of the Gospels are to be found those three significant Ceremonies required at the taking your solemn League& Covenant?
A32107Nor will it avail you to return the question upon our selves, who sent us to Reform the Church of Rome?
A32107Or Solomon for keeping a Feast of seven days for the Dedication of the Altar?
A32107Or from whose hands did your Puritan Ancestors receive their Mission and Ordination?
A32107Or what warrant had Hezekiah for continuing the Feast of unleavened bread seven days longer then the time appointed by the Law?
A32107Quid Christo cum Belial?
A32107Thirdly, with our right hand lift up bare?
A32107To satisfie the Jews and their question, By what authority doest thou these things?
A32107To what purpose, is all this waste of precious ointment on the feet of Christ?
A32107Well, Fifthly, Some body must send them to Preach the Gospel: Was it the CHURCH of Rome?
A32107Whether the Preachers of Socinian Doctrine, have need of any extraordinary mission?
A32107Yes, I have heard you say; and is not this to confess your selves the Emissaries of Antichrist, that Man of Sin, the Whore of Babylon?
A32107and How should they Preach except they were sent?
A32107be pleas''d to tell us what People do you mean?
A32107could he confer a power on others, which he had not received, of ordaining Ministers?
A32107for speaking to him your sudden and extemporary thoughts, but speaking to the people with a studied and composed Sermon?
A32107might it not have been sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
A32107what Divine warrant can you produce for your Singing to God in a set Form,& refusing to pray in a set Form?
A32107what express Scripture have you for your form of publick pennance, called the stool of repentance?
B06739''T is Sacriledge to rob the Church; and thence Since you have stole your self, what''s your offence?
B06739And may my breath be still perfum''d, why not?
B06739And would you have us silent too below?
B06739And you know who they were that gave the blow, And then cry''d, Prophesie who smote thee so?
B06739But I''m thy Son, and must corrected be; But why then dost thou turn thy bum to me?
B06739But art thou dead indeed?
B06739But shall I not, kind Wild, remember thee, Who hast bequeath''d me such a Legacie?
B06739But why dost thou disdain or fear, That Female brows should Lawrel wear?
B06739But why shouldst thou, kind soul, be in such fear, That plump Lycëus should grow lean this year?
B06739Dost thou not know what crops the Plague has made And, Sampson- like, heaps upon heaps has laid?
B06739Hast thou forgot how fatal the Grape- stone Did whilom prove to poor Anacreon?
B06739Hast thou forgot that Noble Tree ● ● self was made out of a shee?
B06739If you so soon could smell the Pouder- Plot, What had you said if I had bullets shot?
B06739Is it not sung by the Venetian Swain How the brisk Wine gives horns to the poor man?
B06739Is this a time for Shepherds to retreat, And seek out Coverts from the scorching heat?
B06739London has sent up such a darkning smoak, And shall it too the Angels voices choak?
B06739Say we not well, A gues will have their course?
B06739Shall it make Clouds so thick and dark, that we Shall never more thy publick Censers see?
B06739When the white Harvest for more Reapers cryes, How canst thou freely sit and temporize?
B06739Which of the Muses, or the Graces all, Did ere for Claret or Canary call?
B06739what though?
A88100But to passe over Temporal businesses, how violent have our Bishops beene in their owne Canons about Ceremonies, and indifferencies?
A88100But what?
A88100Can Puritans speake worse of any, then he doth of Puritans?
A88100For examples sake, how many differences have we even about indifferent Ceremonies; and that meerly amongst Protestants?
A88100It is true, the Church had Bishops before in its times of persecution, but of what power or pompe?
A88100What might they judge of the root, from whence these fruits sprung?
A88100and what disturbance hath that violence produced?
A88100did he condemne all Scots alike, or all Bishophaters alike, or joyne the English in like condemnation?
A88100did not King James know his owne enemies, or how to blame them?
A88100did they conclude these fruits good?
A88100must we needs follow them, or this Bishop in this?
A88100or did they conceive that such fruits might grow upon a good stocke?
A88100where Gods will is truely understood, but his commands are wholly slighted?
A88100where men know like Christians, but live like Heathens?
A339592dly, In point of Loyalty to the King?
A339593dly, As being obliged by the Oath of Supremacy to renounce ● ● l Forreign Jurisdictions?
A33959How ill will it sound in the Ears of Posterity, when they shall hear of Protestants being so severly dealt with for Trifles of Difference?
A33959Is it not apparent, how they already begin to undermine and blow up the Truth of the late Horrid Plot, so miraculously discover''d?
A33959Leaving then the Civil Power to its self, the Question is between the Dissenters and their Opposers, What a Sectary is?
A33959Now, if it should be asked, What the Civil Magistrate requires from hence?
A33959Or whether onely such a Religion as carries onely a pretence and colour, without any truth and sincerity?
A33959Put then this Question to the Informer; Did the Dissenters use any other Prayers than what were agreeable to the Church of England?
A33959Supposing the said Judges produce no Authority from the King, yet proceed to Excommunication, whether the said Excommunication be not void?
A33959The marks of the real Christianity and legality of this Assembly are the true Preaching the Word, and due Administration of the Sacrament?
A33959The next Question then will be, Whether they be Schismatics?
A33959Upon the whole, suppose this Question should be put, Whether the Apostles did use any other Form than that which was taught them by Christ?
A33959What is a Schismatic?
A33959What tho the Civil Magistrate have been so careful to make Provision for the Repose and Quiet of the Kingdom?
A33959Whether a Dissenter may be lawfully prohibited from Preaching the Word of God in truth and sincerity, at any time, or in any place?
A33959Whether by the blessings and rewards that are promised to those that propagate the Doctrine of Christ, they are not obliged to do it?
A33959Whether he shall incur any penalty for not doing that which the Law requires not at his Hands?
A33959Whether in point of Appeal to make Parties themselves Judges, be a thing usual?
A33959Whether it be not more proper to begin with Popery before they go about to extirpate Non- Conformity?
A33959Whether it be prudence to afflict Protestants at home, when we entertain afflicted Protestants from abroad?
A33959Whether the Example of Christ and his Disciples does not admit of Preaching in Houses, Streets and Fields to more than five in a Company?
A33959Whether the said Judges be not Indictable upon a Pramunire?
A33959Which things not being considered, how uncharitably do they fall under the censure of Lavish and Inveterate Pulpits?
A33959Whither it be not proper for the persons cited, to demand the sight and hearing of the Commission, by which the Judges claim their Jurisdiction?
A33959for their own safety?
A33959or liable to an Action, as Counsel shall direct?
A33738And that themselves have chiefly contributed to their own Miseries, and entail''d a Plague on all their Posterity?
A33738But how do we demonstrate that there is no Truth in the Particulars he hints at?
A33738But why must we needs suspect our King?
A33738Can it be imagined, That the King can ever pass it?
A33738For Why may there not be a Civil Test form''d, altogether as effectual, and yet not so obnoxious to Exceptions, as these Religious Ones?
A33738His Hypothesis he thought, might amuse, but where is his Assumption that should prove?
A33738His first Instruction to Dissenters is, that they have cause to suspect their new Friends; and have they none to suspect their old Enemies?
A33738How does it appear that the Sentiments of the Church of England towards Dissenters are chang''d, unless it be to a greater degree of Malice?
A33738Is it any wonder that the Cause ceasing, the Effect should also cease?
A33738Is it that they should consent to repeal all the Penal Laws against Roman Catholicks, with a Reserve of those against Protestant Dissenters?
A33738Is there any Body that deserves not to wear a Muckender, but must needs see through all this?
A33738Nay, have not They themselves already by their Proxies made Overtures to the direct contrary?
A33738Or can we think that Gospel- saying a Paradox, That those to whom much has been forgiven, should love much?
A33738Or that their Haughtiness is for ever extinct, but rather encreased?
A33738That apprehend their Wages would be retrench''d, if they should be moderate?
A33738That are under a Contract which obliges them upon a Forfeiture to make use of Inflaming Eloquence?
A33738To whom the Injury?
A33738Was it that her Sons should all turn Papists?
A33738What better Hopes can Dissenters conceive of another Parliament of Bigotted Church- Men than of the Last?
A33738What has the illustrious unknown T. W. to say to his humble dissenting Servant?
A33738What it was His Church refused, rather than criminally comply with?
A33738Whether Persecution in it self be lawful?
A33738Will none of these Expedients, or such better ones as may be contriv''d, allay your Fears?
A33738Would it not be extravagant Rudeness to offer it?
A33738or any Infringment of all the rest?
A33738why we may not burn a Man for his supposed Error in Religion, as well as take away his Goods, or his Birth- right?
A2614216. asks the Question, Whether so many solemn Resolutions of all the Judges of England in the Exchequer- Chamber, are not to be rely''d upon for Law?
A26142Again, Shall a publick Damage and Injury to the whole Nation, be more dispensable by the King, than the loss of one private man?
A26142And after all, shall the King( if he pleases) still make the like Grants?
A26142And did ever any Law since the Reformation give us so great a security as this?
A26142And is not a Judgment in Parliament, and by Act of Parliament, of the highest Authority?
A26142And this is properly called, The Matter in Law, and the great Point of the Case?
A26142Are we not all concluded by what a Law says?
A26142But after all this securing against the Danger from Popish Recusants, how shall we do to secure against the Danger of Dispensations?
A26142But are they so( as the former) in his own personal right, as his Lands and other Revenues are?
A26142But does this justifie the present Dispensation now in dispute?
A26142But how easie would it be for one that obtains such a Patent, to get the Non obstante to be inserted?
A26142But is there any necessity of their being in Offices?
A26142But what signifies a Promise, where a Law and an Oath is too weak to secure it?
A26142Does the King by this( which the Judges mis- call a Restraint) want for choice of fit persons to serve in Offices?
A26142Doth the Publick Weal suffer by this Restraint?
A26142Hath not the King Protestant Subjects enow to bear Offices?
A26142Hath not the late Act( says he) made it impossible, absolutely impossible for the most concealed Papist that is, to get into any kind of Employment?
A26142Here is no occasion taken to find fault with them for their Opinion; let them keep their Religion still, if they like it so well, who hinders them?
A26142How many Acts have been made against pardoning of Murder, and to make void such Pardons, and what fruit have they had?
A26142If it were a Prerogative in the King, how came it to be so long before the King''s learned Council could start it?
A26142In iis que vult, est ei pro ratione voluntas nec est qui dicat illi, Domine cur ita facis?
A26142Is not this to commit the Lamb to the custody of the Wolf?
A26142May I not do what I will with my own?
A26142Must they needs be Guardians of the Protestant Religion?
A26142Now that King that made his Title by Conquest, might carve out to himself what Prerogatives he pleased; And who durst dispute it with him?
A26142The second Point is, Whether the Dispensation pleaded by the Defendant, be a good Bar to the Action of Debt?
A26142Upon the word( Concessa) I would gladly be satisfy''d when or by whom that Power was ever granted to the King; where shall we find that Grant?
A26142Will any man presume to say the person is unfit, when the King, who is the sole Judge of the fitness of persons to serve him, hath adjudg''d him fit?
A26142Will the House of Peers allow of this Authority for Law?
A26142and may he therefore upon the like reason, dispense with them, or dispose of them, as a Subject may do with his own particular Interests?
A26142and plead the Conviction?
A26142and to whom would the Non obstante be denied to whom such a Patent is granted?
A26142and who would accept such a Patent without a Non obstante?
A26142is it not rather preserv''d by it?
A26142or are they to him but as a Trustee for the Publick, for which reason he is called Creditor Poenae?
A26142or that they themselves would dispence with it?
A26142ubi jura, quae scriptis solebant solidari?
A26142were there no Judges that did scruple the doing of it?
A26142why would the two Houses, after long debate about it, excuse themselves from consenting to that which the King could do without them?
A26983After all this shall wée again forsake thée, and deal falsly in thy Covenant?
A26983And hast thou indéed forgiven us so great a debt, by so precious a Ransome?
A26983And if you may mistake in any thing, may it not be in as great things as these?
A26983And shall wée not love thée, that hast thus loved us?
A26983And wee crave leave to ask whether you do not your selves in some things mistake, or may not do so for ought you know?
A26983Can your heart endure, or your hands bee strong in the day when God shall deal with you?
A26983Do you beleeve in God the Father Almighty,& c?
A26983Do you remain stedfast in the Covenant, which you made in Baptism your self?
A26983For if when wee were Enemies wee were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being Reconciled, wee shall bee saved by his life?
A26983He forgiveth our Iniquities, and will remember our sins no more; who shall lay any thing to Charge of Gods elect?
A26983Hee that spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us All, how shall hee not with him also freely give us all things?
A26983How glad would you make the peoples hearts?
A26983How good and how happy a thing would it bee for Brethren to dwell together in unity?
A26983If any man bee in Christ, hee is a new Creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new?
A26983If men cut off the lives of those that break their laws, will God bee out- faced by the pride, and stubborness of sinners?
A26983If you say, Rulers imposition maketh indifferent things cease to be indifferent?
A26983If you will needs use such things your selves, will it gain you so much to force them upon others, as will answer all the foresaid Inconveniences?
A26983Is it not for matter and phrase at least as agreeable to the holy Scriptures?
A26983It is God that Justifieth, who is hee that Condemneth?
A26983O how should wee bee covered with shame, and loath our selves, that have both procured the death of Christ by sin, and sinned against it?
A26983O save him from the Gall of Bitterness, and from the Bonds of his Iniquity?
A26983Or will you not mourn at last( with weeping and gnashing of teeth) And say; How have I hated Instruction, and my heart despised Reproof?
A26983Shall wée not love thy Servants, and forgive our Neighbours their little debt?
A26983Will it cost you as dear to grant this Liberty, or abate these things, as the Imposition will cost your Brethren and you?
A26983Will you defend it as your friend?
A26983Will you endeavour by your own Teaching, and Example, and Restraint, to keep him from wickedness, and train him up in a holy life?
A26983Will you then deny it, or will you stand to all the reasonings, or excuses, by which you would now extenuate or cover it?
A26983Wilt thou indéed give us to reign with Christ in Glory, and sée thy face, and love thée, and bée beloved of thée for ever?
A26983and doth this shew that you love your neighbours as your selves?
A26983and that so many have been put upon so new and so generally dis- relished a thing?
A26983and whether your understandings are not still imperfect, and all men differ not in some opinions or other?
A26983can it be expected, that wee should all be past erring about the smallest Ceremonies and Circumstances of worship?
A26983for your souls sake, let not Satan abuse your understanding, and sin befool you, must you not die?
A26983will sin goe then with you for as light a matter as it doth now?
A34543And was this Capacity any where restrained to the Presbyterians?
A34543Are they jealous that the Structure of their Government may be weakned, and at length dissolved?
A34543As for the objected unprofitableness of their returning, how doth it appear?
A34543Because All Truths have been disputed, doth it follow, that there are no indisputable Truths?
A34543But hath the French King less assurance of the Loyalty of His Protestant Subjects, then of the Roman- Catholicks?
A34543But is this person consistent with himself?
A34543But who best knows their hearts, themselves or their Adversaries?
A34543But why doth he say, If the Papists have any such Doctrines?
A34543Can it be necessary to the Church''s Peace, to exclude or deprive men for such Differences in which neither Faith nor Order are concerned?
A34543Can men of sound minds and temperate spirits, believe this?
A34543Did Prelacy ever effect the like Unity in the Church of England?
A34543Doth he not know they have?
A34543Had Presbytery the Strength of the Civil Power?
A34543How then could a man of reason draw such hideous Inferences from that Position?
A34543If Episcopacy yeeld to a Moderate Course, why should any prudent Dissenters go about to molest it?
A34543If some offer to disturb the Peace, can no Rule of Government restrain them?
A34543If these and other Varieties, be no reproach to our Church, will it reproach her to suffer one to Officiate with a Surpliss, and another without it?
A34543Is a Can not for Conscience sake, of no more force than a bare Will not?
A34543Is there any Justice or Charity in such dealing?
A34543May not the Church salve her Honour, by declaring, That in remitting these Injunctions, she meerly yeelds to the infirmity of weak Consciences?
A34543One may well ask, Where is the Truth and Candor of those men that write after this manner?
A34543Or is Toleration the reason of a standing Army in the United Provinces of the Netherlands?
A34543Or was it ever formed in England?
A34543That such Condescention and Clemency should be used on the One side, and such Humility and Modesty on the Other, why should it seem impossible?
A34543Was it not crush''d while it was an Embryo, by the prevailing Potency of its Adversaries?
A34543What hinders their Capacity of gaining Benefices, yea and Dignities, if they could Conform?
A34543What human Authority can warrant any one to put in practice an unlawful or suspected Action, or to make profession of a known or suspected Falshood?
A34543What manner of arguing is this?
A34543Why should they not find as good acceptation as others, in their Preaching and Conversation?
A34543Yea, how great a Rent would be made by it through the whole Fabrick of this Church?
A52414And how then are the Church and the Dissenters upon Equal Terms?
A52414And how then can the Sanction be necessary as a Sign, where the Law is not promulgated?
A52414And if this be thought sufficient to Authorize the Sanction, why should it not also Authorize the Law?
A52414And is it reasonable that there should be a Toleration, and we not the better for it?
A52414And to what purpose then do they insist upon the Greatness of the Authority?
A52414And what should that be but the Authority of the Law- giver?
A52414And what then will become of the Toleration?
A52414And will any Man, can any Man have the Impudence or Impiety to say so?
A52414But how come they to oblige to Punishment, but only by the Will and Intention of the Law- giver invested with competent Authority?
A52414But may not the Sanction be necessary as a Sign, where the Law is not promulgated?
A52414But though the Author''s Charge was neither False, nor Uncharitable, yet was it not something Unseasonable?
A52414But though the Sanction does not give the Law its Obligation, or any part of it, may it not however be necessary to it?
A52414But what then?
A52414But why, I pray, was this Charge so unseasonable?
A52414But would it therefore have been to any higher Purpose or greater Effect?
A52414But, Sir, in the First place, how can that be, when One is Establish''d, and the Other only Tolerated?
A52414Charge us with Schism at this time of day, Now we are in Favour, Now the Government smiles upon us, Now we have the Law on our Side?
A52414Did he ever Communicate his Intentions to them?
A52414For how can they pretend to know the Author''s Thoughts and Designs?
A52414If it be further askt, whence has the Law- giver his Authority?
A52414If it be then demanded, Whence does the Law receive its Obligation?
A52414If you ask what that is?
A52414Is it like the Tree of Paradice, good for Food, and pleasant to the Eye, and withall planted within our reach, and yet not to be medled with?
A52414Is not Establishment more than Liberty?
A52414Is this by vertue of any other Sanction?
A52414It is a Common Question among Moralists, Civilians, and Casuistical Divines, Vtrum Sanctio Paenalis sit de Essentia sive de Ratione Legis?
A52414Now the Question is, Whether the Sanction of the Law be in this sense necessary to the Obligation of it?
A52414Now what can all this signifie?
A52414Or so ungrateful to the Government, as not to make use of that Privilege of Indulgence which the kindness of our Superiors has vouchsafed us?
A52414Or what can be supposed to be the just and reasonable intent of it?
A52414Or will they Judge by Inspiration, and pretend to the Gift of Divining and Conjecturing, as well as of Praying by the Spirit?
A52414Shall we be so unkind to our selves, as not to embrace an opportunity of Ease and Liberty?
A52414Then turning towards Methodius, What is this?
A52414This has been generally thought the most proper Season of Admonition by all wise Men in all other Matters, and why not in this?
A52414This was as much contrary to Expectation, as to Inclination and Humour; and was it not enough to vex any body to be so disappointed?
A52414What then, you''ll say, is the Effect of a Toleration?
A52414What would you have us do?
A52414What, was the Toleration granted, not to be enjoyed?
A52414What?
A52414Whether a Penal Sanction be of the Essence or Reason of the Law?
A52414Whether you can honestly and safely Communicate with us or no?
A52414Why may I not go, if occasion require, to an Arian Church, so there be no Arianism exprest in their Liturgy?
A52414Will any Man presume to say that Adam would not have been obliged by that Divine Command, but might have tasted of the forbidden Fruit without Sin?
A52414Will he say, that this Precept stood as a Cypher in the Decalogue, without passing any Obligation upon the Jews?
A264122, 10, 23. in those Plagues of Locusts, and Darkness?
A264123, 17, 24. in those Plagues of Murrion and Hail?
A264124, 22. and in the Death of all their first- born, both of Man and Beast?
A26412And Abimelech said, Lord, wilt thou stay also a Righteous Nation?
A26412And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us?
A26412And Samuel said to Saul, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the Head of the Tribes of Israel?
A26412And is not that rejoycing such, that may justly cause God to Command it to run thorow thy Borders a second time?
A26412And may not the Lord take up a Complaint against thee and thy Daughters, O England, as once he did against his People of old?
A26412And what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
A26412And what''s the Cause of all this, may some say?
A26412And, Reader, consider with thy self, that if the Lord Christ reproved him that said to him, good Master; saying, Why callest thou me good?
A26412Art thou grown more Holy than thou wast?
A26412Art thou humble before thy God, O England, out of a Consideration of thine own unworthiness, and of Gods great love to thee in these things?
A26412Art thou rejoycing, that the Sword in all visible probability is now sheathing again?
A26412Art thou rendring to God, for bringing this great Design about without shedding of blood?
A26412But here it may be asked, How I prove this to be done by the perswasion of that Evil One, seeing the Text doth not in so many words say so?
A26412But here it may be demanded, when a person may be said to walk humbly with God?
A26412But here it may be farther demanded, What was Israels sin?
A26412But though they say thus; What saith the Prophet?
A26412Dost thou rejoyce before the Lord with trembling?
A26412Even I it is that have sinned and done evil ▪ But as for these sheep, what have they done?
A26412Even so do I say to my self; Why should I dare to call the greatest of Men, most Sacred?
A26412For David said unto God, Is it not I that Commanded the People to be numbred?
A26412For Pharaoh called Abraham, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me?
A26412For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and loose his own Soul?
A26412Is it so dangerous a thing then to tell over, or number the People, may some say?
A26412King Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets?
A26412Or rather, art thou not grow openly prophane, out of a sense of Gods Great Love to thee?
A26412Or rather, art thou not grown more haughty?
A26412Or rather, is not thy Behaviour such, as suddenly may cause God to open another vein to the Effusion of thy Bloud, even to the Confusion of thy face?
A26412Or rather, is not thy rejoycing such, as that it would and doth, even make a truly Regenerate Soul tremble to behold it?
A26412Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?
A26412Said he not, she is my Sister?
A26412Saul, Saul, Why persecutest thou me?
A26412Was the numbring of the People then the only Cause, that moved God to slay with the Plague threescore and ten thousand?
A26412What did they endure by reason of the Plagues of Froggs, Lice and Flies?
A26412What shall I render to the Lord, for all his Benefits bestowed upon me?
A26412What then was Davids sin, may some say?
A26412Whether it be right in the sight of God, to hearken unto thee, more than unto my God?
A26412Why didst thou not tell me she was thy Wife?
A26412Why saidst thou she is my Sister?
A26412Why should ye be smitten any more?
A26412Will Daniel Petition no other but the true God, though against the Decree of the King?
A26412seeing 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what had Israel done?

A856991. where our Saviour taught his Disciples a Form of Praier: M. Powell replied, Our Saviour wrought miracles, will you work miracles?
A85699And Ignorance of the grounds of Art: Shall I give you a reason why a negative Syllogisme concludeth nothing?
A85699And can ye be stall in love with your new Logick?
A85699And thereupon he proposed another Question, Do you undertake to defend the corrupt part of the Ministry?
A85699But M. Powell asked the Doctor, By what Scripture he could prove a Form of Praier?
A85699But M. Powell still pressed, Whether are you?
A85699For what else is Logick, but a method, form and rule of reasoning orderly for the perfecting of a mans natural discourse?
A85699How?
A85699Is Logick no help to the interpreting, and applying of Scripture?
A85699Is it not enough for you to bely the living, and abandon reason, but ye must abuse the Arts and defame the dead?
A85699Is not this fine work for an Atheist, an Arrian, or Macedonian heretick?
A85699M. Powell asked, Where be your Saints?
A85699M. Powell there upon asked him, How is the Image of Christ wrought in the soul?
A85699No, what say you to the Dr. and his people?
A85699Or what say you to another?
A85699The Gentleman again asked, What, no Adulterers?
A85699The same way of captious arguing ye see still asking Questions; where are they?
A85699The third proved to be no Rule, but a tempting Question: In what capacity do you stand there, as an Episcopall man or a Presbyterian?
A85699To whom was it that he promised a Sermon, Can you tell?
A85699We did not stand upon Logick, but by the Truth; what is to sway us but Scriptures?
A85699Went on and proved?
A85699What is to sway us but Scripture?
A85699What then?
A85699What?
A85699Whereunto M. Powell very wisely replied, Will you be Judas then?
A85699Whether your Calling or Ours be most Warrantable, and nearest the Word of God?
A85699Whether your mixt Wayes or our Wayes of Separation, be nearest the Word of God?
A85699are they not godly?
A85699by some new change of the Scene?
A85699do you swear?
A85699is not to be taken to be in Capacity to dispute?
A85699or was there nothing here intended against them?
A85699was he not Respondent from the beginning?
A54198And why the King might not then Govern by a Court Rump of a Parliament, as well as they by an Independent Rump?
A54198As for example: How Barbarously were Sir Jorn Lucas and Mr. Newcomen, a Minister used by the Brownists, and Anabaptists of Colchester,?
A54198How Barbarously were Mr: Robert Yeomans, and Mr. George Boucher, Gentlemen of Bristol murthered?
A54198In Fine, what has he left undone that might tend to promote further Discovery, to extirpate Popery, and to secure the Protestant Religion?
A54198Is not the winding up the Witness, And nicking, more than half the business?
A54198Nay what security had any man of his own Life, Family and Estate without being in danger of Hanging, Plundering, Sequestring and the like?
A54198Sir John''s House Plundered, his Mother, Lady, and Sister Committed to the Common Goal?
A54198The inhumane usage of Sir William B ● teler in Kent, his House Plundered, and Servants put to exquisite torture, by the Parliament Dragoons?
A54198What Gentleman secure of his Horses ▪ without having them by violence ▪ forced out of his Stable, nay even out of his very Coach?
A54198What Gentleman was Master of his own Child or Servant?
A54198What House- keeper could call his Furniture his own, without being every hour in danger of having his very Bed taken from under him?
A54198What Prince, nay what Tyrant ever perpetrated the thousandth part of those outrages upon a People, which they did?
A54198What Tenant secure of the Stock upon his Groun ●?
A54198Who could Ride in safety upon the Road without eminent danger of his Person?
A54198as also Sir Charles Lucas, and Sir George Lisle Shot to death in cold bloud at Colchester by the Parliaments Court of Injustice?
A54198equally to violate his Faith with all his Friends, and Enemies?
A54198how did they Plunder him of all he had, and at last put him to flight, leaving behind him, his Wife and eight small Children to perish?
A54198or what Shop- keeper of his Prentice?
A54198or( not being a Rebel to the King,) was not accounted a Betrayer of his Countrey?
A54198to fight against Monarchy, when he declared for it; and declare against it when he contrived for it, in his own Person?
A54198to fight against the King, under a Commission for him?
A54198to make no less frequent use of the most solemn Perjuries, then the looser sort of people do of common Oaths?
A54198to pretend freedom for all men, and under the help of that pretence, to make all men his Servants?
A54198to pretend the defence of Parliaments, and violently to dissolve all, even of his own Calling, and almost Choosing?
A54198to pretend, when he went upon any mischievous Consult, that he went to Seek God?
A54198to quarrel for the loss of 3 or 4 Ears, and strike off 3 or 400 Heads?
A54198to receive a Commission for King and Parliament, to murther( as I said) the one, and destroy no less impudently the other?
A54198to seek to intail his Usurpation upon his Posterity, and with it an endless War upon the Nations?
A54198to set up Councils of Rapine, and Courts of Murther?
A54198to take Arms against scarce 200000 l. a year, and to raise for himself above two Millions?
A54198to undertake the Reformation of Religion, to rob it even to the very Skin, and then to expose it naked, to the Rage of all Sects and Heresies?
A54198to usurp three Kingdoms without any shadow of the least Pretensions, and to govern them as unjustly as he got them?
A54198when the Parliaments Army was ready to receive, and reward them for their Disloyalty?
A54198who could follow his Lawful vocation, or what Trades- man his Trade, without the hazzard of an assault?
A54198who( not being a Sectary) was not then esteemed a Papist?
A64560( Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?
A64560( Whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal?)
A64560A mixt Communion may do no hurt, what is it to me, what others are?
A64560After this Objection you Question( But how came in the Tares?)
A64560And what were the people?
A64560Are not Contentions, Divisions, carnal brands?
A64560Are there not recorded Churches of Judea, Samaria, Galilee?
A64560But you admit them not the Title of Saints( let me inoffensively ask for my own satisfaction) if they be real Saints, why not Titular?
A64560Do not your self vindicate an Authority of Excommunication at Corinth, when this Epistle was written?
A64560For shall we be holier, and hate corruption more than the Lord?
A64560How edifying is the noise of Drums and Guns?
A64560If one bear holy Flesh in the Skirt of his Garment, and with his Skirt do touch Bread or Pottage, or Wine, or Oyl, or any meat, shall it be holy?
A64560If the Church err in Doctrine, it is to be considered whether the error be in a point substantial, fundamental or not?
A64560If you aver a Communion with the Saints as Fellow Members, I desire to be resolved, who those Saints are?
A64560If your Rule for admission be rigorously pressed, how can men of different judgements, and repugnant spirits be admitted into separated Churches?
A64560In other passages, in other parables, recited in this Chapter the Kingdom of Heaven is the Church, why not in this?
A64560Is there not a gradual ascent from a Church Oeconomical, to a Church Oecumenical?
A64560It was the speech of Cain, Am I my brothers keeper?
A64560Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
A64560Lord to whom shall we go, thou hast the Word of eternal life?
A64560Quid hoc ad Rhombum?
A64560Quomodo sancti dicantur, cum certum sit apud eos multos rudes in fide, imo palam impios fuisse?
A64560The Corinthians were voluntarily charitable( no extorted bounty) when they were converted, what is this to the means how they were converted?
A64560Then said Haggai, if one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?
A64560To ascend higher, are the Apostles the Saints you own a Communion with?
A64560Visible Saints must be, but how far Saints must be discovered?
A64560Were not the Sons of Eli practically vitious, scandalous Sons of Belial?
A64560Were they reall Converts or Professional?
A64560What are Cities, Kingdoms, States, but Families dilated, multiplied?
A64560What can the next lees be?
A64560Whether if there be Errors in the Church, we may separate our selves?
A64560Why then should the Church of England sound so prodigious a name?
A64560Will you deny the balm of Gilead to these bleeding wounds of Souls?
A64560if in a point substantial, fundamental, whether upon infirmity, or obstinacy?
A64560shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot?
A64560— Tantae ne animis caelestibus irae?
A456753, Why do you transgress the Commandments of God by your Traditions?
A45675And therefore what need he put me to prove it?
A45675Are they destructive of true Christian Faith and Practice?
A45675But I would have you speak out: Is Communion with us sinful, or is it not?
A45675But allowing that those you insist upon be Errors; Are they fundamental ones?
A45675But did I, or ever any Man else say that it was Schism to obey God rather than Man?
A45675But if We must Answer to that Question, Who hath Required these things at your Hands?
A45675But let me a ● k him, Does the Scripture any where say so?
A45675But then let me ask again, Have you met with any of your own Teachers, that are able to give a sufficient Answer to their Arguments?
A45675But what if this be taken from the Garments of Aaron, as he knows not whether it is or no?
A45675But who can have the Forehead to fasten such high Presumptions as these upon our Church?
A45675But, what if it be true, is therefore Episcopacy unlawful, or the Succession of our Bishops not good?
A45675Have you a desire to hold Communion with us, if you could perswade your selves that you might lawfully do it?
A45675Have you proposed your Scruples to the Divines of our Church?
A45675If he mean Personal Qualifications, I will only say with St. Paul, Who is sufficient for these things?
A45675If it be not, how come you to impose it upon us for such, or charge that upon us for a sin, which is not the transgression of any Law?
A45675If we be the Body of Christ, do not they that separate from the Body separate from the Head also?
A45675Now what is the Consequence of all this?
A45675Or could any Man think it possible, that he should so luckily hit upon such a Text of Scripture to prove it by?
A45675Or deduce it by some Logical and Natural Inference?
A45675Or does the Apostle any where call this Will- worship?
A45675Or would this be any thing to the Merits of the Cause?
A45675Or, What just Ground of Exception was That against the Matter of it?
A45675Then those that use it, do thereby deny Christ to be come in the Flesh; but for what Reason does he say this?
A45675Was there ever such a wild Assertion?
A45675What if I should say, some Authors tell us, it was derived from Christ and his Apostles; how would he disprove me, or prove that it was not?
A45675What then can this Man be thought to mean?
A45675What was this accursed thing which he stole?
A45675What will ye then say for your selves, when God shall say unto you, Who hath required these things at your Hands?
A45675Why does he not quote Chapter and Verse?
A45675Would he insinuate, that these Additions are Inventions of our own, or that they are inserted by the Church, upon some wicked selfish design?
A45675and how then can he charge us with Additions to the Word of God?
A45675or, Have you read what they have written in order to your satisfaction?
A45675was it therefore an Idol, and an accursed thing, and therefore to be burned?
A6583611. may not be covered with a Hat off, and uncovered with a Hat on?
A658362dly, Is it so dangerous, that this Church( or universal Body of Christ) can not err?
A658362ly, Who those of the Pople called Quakers that have assumed to impose, contratry to their former Testimonies, as he saith?
A65836And that we have it to guide and give discovery in the weighty matters of Faith and Salvation, and to try Spirits, whether they be of God or no?
A65836And what are those peculiar Revelations or Motions?
A65836Doth not the spiritual Man judge all Things?
A65836Have not some kneeled, sat, and stood in publick ▪& c. Whether a Cap is not as real a Covering to the Head as a Hat?
A65836How now William, Is this thy tender Conscience, Moderation, Love and Charity professed towards the People of God called Quakers?
A65836How should he know his Requiring, for that which he is prejudicially engaged against?
A65836If it must needs be accounted dangerous to assert this?
A65836Is it a limitting the Lord for the Body or Church of Christ to have his Spirit which is infallible?
A65836Oh Treacherous Apostate, Judas the Lord Rebuke thee] But what are those Romish positions?
A65836Oh how sadly hath this Opposer violated his own Conscience, perverted the right Wayes of God, and abused the pretious Testimony of Truth?
A65836Oh what confused Work doth this man make?
A65836Or did we ever place it upon human Understanding, as meer Men, but upon that divine Understanding that God giveth?
A65836Or is the whole Church or Body which he confesseth Christ to be the Head of, in such an Exaltation over the lowly ones?
A65836Or to upbraid any with what is past, that have repented, received Mercy and Forgiveness from the Lord?
A65836What gross Darkness is come over this Man?
A65836Would he be so dealt by?
A65836and an unerring Judgment so far as we received from the same Spirit?
A65836or J. Pennyman with his Motion to have the Bible and Testimonies of Martyrs, with other good Books to the Exchange in order to burn?
A65836when demonstrated?
A65836who then are those lowly Ones that are not of the Church?
A29790A Son of Slaughter at White- Chappel converted to the observation of Fish- days; or an old inveterate Republican turn''d a stiff Assertor of Monarchy?
A29790A right Country Gentleman''s Question I''faith, for the first thing he generally asks you is, What is the News?
A29790And does a Coach and six Horses baffle Heroes, spoil Divines, and make Milksops of Princes?
A29790And is all your mighty News, which you prefaced with so much show and Ceremonie, come to this sorry issue at last?
A29790And what does Interest, meer Interest only do all this?
A29790Any Court- 〈 … 〉 ● ● nen, and no back- biting; any litigious Attorney to 〈 ◊ 〉 And Arbitrations?
A29790Any of the Town Criticks to Modesty?
A29790Any thrice married Widow to impotence?
A29790As the Country Ladies when they come up to Town, enquire in the first place, Which is the newest Play or Lampoon?
A29790But are they all so inveterate?
A29790But may a Man be so happy as to hear you produce any Reasons for what you have said?
A29790But prithee wou''d not you have a man be careful to preserve his Character and Reputation in the World, and study to give as little scandal as may be?
A29790Come tell me now, have I hitupon the true reason or no?
A29790Come then, wert thou ever married, my honest friend?
A29790Conscience do you say?
A29790Crys the Master of the Porcupine, You Rascal, what do you intend by asking me what Sawce I''de have for him?
A29790Dear Sir, your Humble Servant; how have you done this many a fair day, and how long have you been in Town?
A29790Dost thou now comprehend my Meaning?
A29790Got his Reasons ready do you say?
A29790I wou''d desire to know how you make that out, Noble Sir?
A29790Is a 〈 … 〉 ● arlon turn''d a friend to Cleanliness?
A29790Is any noted S ● ● ● ● ian turn''d a Friend to Faith?
A29790Is there then no difference between tolerating and establishing?
A29790Nay the Lord knows, which is Mr. Bay''s Primitive Church; but prithee why dost thou trouble thy head about a Poet''s Religion?
A29790Not married say you?
A29790Of a few Conjugal Sollicitations do you say?
A29790Or any of the Modern Comprehension- men converted to a good Opinion of the poor suffering Ceremonies of the Church?
A29790Or any of the good people of Doctors- Commons to unlicenc ● d Marriges?
A29790Or have any of the topping Sons of Schism by the Bribe of a good Deanry or Bishoprick been converted to the Liturgy?
A29790Or lastly, any Alderman that was begotten on a Bulk, to Heraldry and Pedigrees?
A29790Prithee what story is that, for, to the best of my knowledg, I never heard of it before?
A29790Say you so Tim?
A29790Say you so sir?
A29790Sons of Schism?
A29790The Question is, whether what the Dr. has formerly preached or written, is the true Doctrin of the Church of England or no?
A29790They preserve the Protestant Religion?
A29790To conclude then: Is the Vicar near Charing- Cross convinced there''s not so much Bawdry in the Service of Matrimony as without it?
A29790To proceed then, is the Dr. brought to a better Opinion of the Abdication, or does he go altogether upon the merits of Forefaulture?
A29790VVHo''s that, my old Friend Mr. Freeman, e Comitatu Bucks?
A29790Well then, Granting all you have said to be true, what advantage do you intend to make of it?
A29790Well, and what of all this?
A29790What think you of this now?
A29790What, not one single man amongst the whole Herd, that congratulates the Government for the great Happiness of his Reduction?
A29790When the Fellow was got into his Room at the Inn, he knocks for the Landlord, and asks him whether he had got his Porcupine ready?
A29790Where, or how?
A29790Which is the Topping Mistress of the Court, or the most fashionable Suit of Ribbons at the Exchange?
A29790Who could ever expect that?
A29790Why, prithee Tim, what dost thou take me for, a Prophet, or a Conjurer?
A29790Why, what a Devil did he mean by that question?
A29790or in what Reign, that we may see it registred in our Almanacks?
A29790what a deal of insignificant flourish and preparation is here to usher in, it may be, but a foolish story at last?
A4145018. to be said unto Princes, Ye are ungodly, or to Rulers, Ye are wicked?
A4145022. means, Hast thou faith?
A414503. especially v. 19. where he puts this question, Wherefore then served the Law?
A41450And whether some special Time of Abstinence and Mortification in conformity to the Primitive Church, may now be retained or not?
A41450Are these Instances only to trace out an example of condescension in Magistrates and Governours to their Inferiours?
A41450Especially who is there that is willing either to do good to, or to receive good from him, against whom he hath an exulcerate mind?
A41450For who can maturely weigh things when all is in hurry and tumult?
A41450For why may not they have a reason for their actions which either we can not reach, or are not come to the knowledge of?
A41450How comes it to pass that all Controversies are not determined and Disputes ended long ago, if this were true that is pretended?
A41450How general an acquiescence of hearts and minds in it?
A41450I say how comes this distance and apprehension of sin and danger reciprocally, if the differences between them be inconsiderable?
A41450If then there must be some determination of Circumstance or no Society, and God hath made no such determination, what remains, but that men must?
A41450Is it that God is more curious and jealous of every punctilio in his Worship now, than he was heretofore?
A41450Is it tolerable to repute our Governours Dolts and Ideots?
A41450Must a novel Dutch Synod prescribe Doctrine to the Church of England, and outweigh all Antiquity?
A41450Now since Magistrates had once such a power, how came they to lose it, or be divested of it?
A41450What devotion to the publick worship?
A41450What shall we say to all this?
A41450What shall we take to be the reason of this general Defection?
A41450Whence comes it to pass, that the Bigots of the Romish Church have more spite against our Church, than against any Sect or Party whatsoever?
A41450Who can discern exactly the difference of things, when all is in motion?
A41450Would it not mightily move Kings and Princes to become nursing Fathers to the Church to hear this Doctrine preached to them?
A41450to suspect they have no sense of their duty, or to reproach their Sanctions as Tyrannical, Superstitious or Antichristian?
A41450what reverence was then yielded to the Ministers of Religion?
A86190All the united power of the Church is little enough against their common enemies, and shall they weaken themselves?
A86190And elswhere, Qui Adoramus unum Patrem; cur non agnoscimus unam Matrem?
A86190And shall we now live so unlike our future life?
A86190Are ye not carnal?
A86190But why here stiled the God of Patience, before the God of Consolation?
A86190Cain was the first Separatist we read of; and what became of him?
A86190Can it be a Spirit of Truth in one, and a Spirit of Falshood in others?
A86190Can the Dead be united to the Living?
A86190Can the Spirit of God be contrary to it self?
A86190Christ, and Belial?
A86190Did you ever hear more importunity, or earnestness, in any Cause?
A86190Do they not come from the lusts, that war in you Members?
A86190For can you imagine to bring the Weak to yield to the Strong, or the Strong to forbear the Weak, by Reasons, or Arguments?
A86190For how can the Members be united, but in the Head?
A86190I say whereto serves all this; but to give scandal to the Enemies of our Church, and Religion?
A86190I. Whence come( those{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}) Wars, and Fightings?
A86190Is this to have one heart, and one way?
A86190It''s a great Frowardness in the Rigid Lutherans, that they will not own the Calvinists, as Brethren?
A86190Lord, what will become of us, if we continue thus?
A86190Shall others affect a few Nisities, and quirks in Religion, and shall we be weary of the plain and Practical Truths of God''s Word?
A86190Shall others hold a few empty notions fast; and shall we let go the Substantial Truths of the Gospel?
A86190Shall others hold errours fast, and shall not we the Truth?
A86190Shall we be contentious, and fall out by the way, are we not Brethren?
A86190Shall we now be so unlike to what we must be for ever?
A86190Shall we strive to hold Money fast, and let loose our Religion?
A86190So I may say to some Troublers of our Churche''s Peace; Why trouble ye the Church, and hinder Unity?
A86190We should be thinking with our selves; Shall we not shortly be of one mind, and one heart?
A86190Well, what''s the matter?
A86190What concord between Light, and Darkness?
A86190What confirms the Papists, and Hereticks, and Prophane persons in Errours, and Wickedness?
A86190Whereas one saies, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollo: are ye not carnal?
A86190Whereas there is amongst you Envyings, and Strifes, and Divisions, are ye not Carnal, and walk as men?
A86190Who then is Paul, or Apollo, or Peter; but Ministers, by whom ye believed?
A86190Why hast thou Troubled Vs?
A86190and all be perfected with the blessed vision, and reconciling light of the face of God?
A86190in these Times of differences, and breaches amongst us; what should we run unto?
A86190is this to be alike- minded one towards another according to Christ?
A86190nothing more, then the differences, and strange Opinions, that are amongst us?
A86190or the Scholars, but in the Teacher?
A86190or the Subjects, but in their Sovereign?
A42786And is Mr. Owen certain we shall not have more Divine Revelations before the end of the World?
A42786And what has the Minister reply''d unto all this?
A42786And what says the Remarker to all this?
A42786And who must be Judge of this but the People?
A42786And why so, sweet Sir?
A42786At least, why not the Name of the Printer?
A42786Besides, how can any one know another Man''s Humility of Spirit?
A42786But how comes this wise Seer to look so far before him, as to assure us of this good issue?
A42786But how does this follow?
A42786But if they had been in the Hebrew, can any one think Trypho so dull as not to have told Justin as much?
A42786But the great Question is, who is this Note- maker, who from behind the Curtain like the Heathen Priests delivers his Oracles?
A42786But what if the Pastors of Neighb''ring Congregations differ in Judgment from the People of that particular Church?
A42786But what will not some Men if it may any ways contribute to the credit of the Cause, and buoy up the reputation of the Heads of the Party?
A42786But why should the Note maker be so startled at my Proposal?
A42786Cùm tua pervide ● … oculis mala lippus inunctis, Cur in amicorum vitiis tam cernis acutum?
A42786Did the Apostles appoint, after the People had before appointed''em unto that Business?
A42786For I ask Mr. Owen, why he believes the Scripture to be Divinely inspir''d, but because''t is transmitted unto us as such by Universal Tradition?
A42786For why should any one presume to scruple or call that unclean, which the Lord has not made so?
A42786Has he read all their Writings?
A42786He boasts of his many Hundred Quotations: And had he no need, or did he intend to make no use of them to what purpose then did he cite''em?
A42786How could he, when there was such a disagreement between the Jews and Christians about''em?
A42786I ask then, is this Title Divinely inspir''d?
A42786I might with as good Reason ask him, why do the Dissenters neglect the Reading of the Word of God to make way for their own Sermons and Expositions?
A42786I only ask why do they not Ordain their Overseers of the Poor as the Apostles did by their own confession?
A42786If an unknown Person at Manchester has writ a tart Book against the Episcopal Party?
A42786If he has, why did he not own his Libel by affixing his Name to it?
A42786In retort then, I''le only present him with a Passage out of Horace: Heus tu?
A42786Is it because''t is no Fault to corrupt the Seventy?
A42786Is this consistent with the Forgery of the foremention''d Certificate?
A42786It will perhaps be ask''d, what''s this to the Minister at Oswestry?
A42786Janoras re?
A42786Nunquamne reponam, Vexatus toties Rauoi Theseide Cod ● i?
A42786Or because the Places were intire in the Original Hebrew Text?
A42786Or can they hope to lull us asleep into Patience and Stoical Apathy, that they may with the greater ease and security torment and oppress us?
A42786Or rather is it not to be suspected, that they have two Consciences?
A42786Or what if all this be an effect of the want of Self- sufficiency and too great distrust of my self?
A42786Or what, if one should guess the Remarks to be the Work of a Club of Ministers, of which he at Manchester was President pro tempore?
A42786Semper ego Auditor tantum?
A42786Shall they prescribe unto us Charity towards them, whilst they are unmercifully teasing and exposing us?
A42786Tell me( says he) is it lawful to Impose indifferent things?
A42786The like I affirm of the rest of the Titles?
A42786Time was when Episcopacy was exploded, and the Unscriptural Terms of Communion here complain''d of laid aside; but were our breaches soon healed?
A42786To say nothing here of the Want of Charity, of Truth and Sincerity in those Notes, has the Author paid due Deference to his Superiours?
A42786To us in the second Person?
A42786Translation, I ask, where then did Jerome find''em, and how came he to enter into the Dispute about''em?
A42786Unto whom does he belong?
A42786What Man knoweth the things of a Man, save the Spirit of Man, which is in him?
A42786What is his Name?
A42786What then, and where lies the Mystery of Iniquity?
A42786What would any Man have more to make good the Charge laid against them, and what better Evidence can be given?
A42786Who can believe an Erratum to have been thus often repeated by Chance?
A42786Who ever hereafter can believe, that they have any Conscience at all?
A42786Who then shall make any difficulty of entertaining their Doctrines, as the Oracles of God?
A42786Whose else should it be?
A42786Why not?
A42786Why?
A42786and as, if at all, it ought to be done?
A42786but why burn the Holy Bible for one single Corruption?
A90603Alas, what Heresie have we not?
A90603Ananias, why hath the Devill filled thy heart to lye to the holy Ghost, and keepe away part?
A90603And if not God, how could hee have wrought the salvation of mankind?
A90603And suffer such men who mocke and sc ● ffe at the sacrament of the Lords supper, calling it a two- peny banque ●?
A90603And whereas they command Communion under one kinde, contrary to Christs institution; whose spirit is in them, Gods, or the Devills?
A90603And why wise as Serpents?
A90603But what need I forraigne examples?
A90603How shall I know Gods spirit, but by his Word?
A90603If the devill were in him, and he and his wife stricken dead, who kept back but halfe that hee himselfe had offered?
A90603If there were no such sinne in the Gospell, why doth St. Peter so curstly rebuke Ananias for it?
A90603If we must avoyd Schismaticks that make divisions, how much more Hereticks?
A90603O thou Shepheard of Israel, why hast thou broken downe the hedges of this thy Vineyard, which thy right had had plantted?
A90603O ye foolish Galatians who hath bewitched you ▪ that you should not obey the truth?
A90603O yee foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?
A90603Polycarp, St. Iohns Schollar, meeting Marcion the Heretick, would not salute him: Marcion asking him whether he knew him or no?
A90603Shall we punish them that confesse their sins, and suppose that they can not enter heaven without a particular Confession of them?
A90603Shall we punish them that worship God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity?
A90603The City of God is on fire, and who goeth about to quench it?
A90603The miseries of this time are infinite, and who layeth hand to help?
A90603They have cast fire into thy Sanctuary ▪ O God, how long shall the adversaries reproach us?
A90603Thou that abhorrest Idols, committest thou Sacriledge?
A90603Were it possible that men should be so carryed away to believe lyes and fooleries, but that they are given over to a reprobate sence?
A90603Wha ●?
A90603What?
A90603Would any man entertaine into his family a man infected with the plague?
A90603Yea, could the Devil himselfe in his owne likenesse, have beene more noxious and hurtfull to the Church of God, then some Hereticks have been?
A90603and suffer them to publish books in defence of this and other their abhominable errors?
A90603and tolerate them that blaspheme the holy Trinity?
A90603and tolerate them that will not con ● esse their sinnes at all, and affirme that God can see no sin in them?
A90603but whence come they, from the schools of the Prophets?
A90603have we lost a sinne?
A90603is that Law abrogated?
A90603shal the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
A90603shall we punish them only that attribute too much to the Sacrament of baptisme, affirming Infants un- baptized not to enter heaven?
A90603some of them affirming it to be an abhominab ● e idol, although it be commanded to be said by our Lord himself?

A3957039. were sore displeased at it, and would fain have had them been Rebuked, and Commanded to hold their Peace?
A39570And were they therefore ever the more excusable, who with threatnings charged Christs Ministers to Preach no more in the Name of Iesus?
A39570And what if some Texts have so?
A39570As most men love to bruit abr ● … d every one his own praise, but a faithful man who can find?

A39570Do we not see Iniquity abounding beyond all bounds of modesty, and common honesty?

A61547But suppose they did not formally give up their Right, but were partly wheedled and partly forced out of it; Doth this give a good Title?
A61547But supposing it, I do not understand how he that gave up his Right of Dominion to the Pope, could still retain it?
A61547But to leave these general Reflections, I shall now apply my self to the main Point, Whether there be any Reason for these Scruples about the Oaths?
A61547But was Darius King de jure or de facto over the Iews?
A61547But what Right can such a Consent give?
A61547But what Right had Darius over the Iews, any more than succeeding in the Persian Monarchy gave a Right to the Chaldean Conquests?
A61547But what doth this signify to the Consciences of Men?
A61547But why then may we not do so as to all that such an Oath implies?
A61547Did they give him a Power to make whom he pleased his Successor?
A61547For why should not present actual Dominion give as much Right, as succeeding into anothers Right of Dominion, which was at first gained by Conquest?
A61547For, had not God by his own Law settled the Government among them?
A61547Had they given it up by any solemn Act of theirs, as many say they did by the Lex Regia, which Iustinian confidently affirms?
A61547Hardecnute being dead, how came the banisht Sons of Edmund Ironside, if he were lawful Heir, not to be sent for to succeed?
A61547Have not all the ancient Zealots of the Law opposed any such Foreign Power?
A61547Have we hereby changed the Standard of our Communion, or are there in this Case imposed any new Terms of Communion with us?
A61547He was Augustus his Wife''s Son, and he made him his Heir by his Testament: And what was that to the Roman State?
A61547How came Alfred to oppose his Election, as being illegitimate, as Malmsbury confesses?
A61547How came Edred to succeed Edmond, and not his Sons Edwin and Edgar?
A61547How came a Dispute to happen about the Election, after the Death of Edgar, between his eldest Son Edward, and Etheldred his youngest?
A61547How come they to make so much Conscience of one, and so little of the other?
A61547How could Allegiance on these Principles be sworn to him?
A61547How far Edmond Mortimer''s owning the Title of H. 5. and the Duke of Cambridge''s Attainder did affect him?
A61547How far our Saviour''s Rule holds in our Case?
A61547How then comes a Scruple about the Oaths, to lead men to think of a Separation?
A61547If Edmund had no good Title, how was the Right of Succession then preserved?
A61547If he had a good Title, How could the Oaths be taken to Edward the Confessor, when the Heirs of Edmond Ironside were living?
A61547If in paying Tribute, why not in solemn promising to pay it?
A61547If in promising, why not in swearing, i. e. in calling God to witness that I do it?
A61547If it be lawful to testify it one way, why not another?
A61547If not, what Colour can there be for breaking Communion on the Account of the Oaths?
A61547If the lineal Succession were a part of our Constitution, How come such perpetual Disputes to be concerning it?
A61547Is a Separation from our Church become a Duty with those, who so lately looked on it as so great a Fault in others?
A61547Is it not as a Token of Allegiance, i. e. of a Duty owing on the account of Protection?
A61547Is it required of all who joyn in our Worship, at least, to declare, That they think the taking of them to be lawful?
A61547Is not the Authority of God above that of Men?
A61547It is so, as to the manner of testifying our Subjection; but the main Question is, Whether any Act of Subjection be lawful or not?
A61547Might not one that had no Right, have the Power of coining Mony, and dispersing it, so that it should be in common use?
A61547Now here I desire to know, whether Tiberius were any more than Emperor de facto, when they did thus swear to him?
A61547Or supposing one unsatisfied about that, he may not yet be satisfied in taking such an Oath as the D. of York and his Sons did?
A61547So that it was not lawful to swear Allegiance to Iulius Cesar, who had the full Possession of the Power, but it was to Tiberius: And why so?
A61547Suppose Augustus had by his Acts procured the Consent of the People, as to his own Government; What was this to Tiberius?
A61547Swinford, did exclude them from any Title to the Crown?
A61547This seems to come from another Cause, and not from the Original Scruple: Are they afraid of joyning with others, not so tender as themselves?
A61547Thus far then we may go; we may swear to pay Tribute; But on what account?
A61547Was not Agrippa Posthumus, then living, much nearer to Augustus, who was his own Grand- child?
A61547Was the Nation perjured in the Time of H. 7. who, as all know, had no Pretence of an Hereditary Right?
A61547Was the Roman Emperor, or Pontius Pilate such?
A61547Was this a lawful Oath or not?
A61547What is the Reason that an Oath doth not bind against the Law?
A61547What then doth he mean by this Answer?
A61547What then was the Right of Tiberius to the Government founded upon?
A61547What then?
A61547Where was the Right of Government in the time of Iulius Cesar?
A61547Whether E. 3. after the Death of the Duke of Clarence, did entail the Crown on his Heirs male?
A61547Whether he was divorced from her upon it?
A61547Whether one Sir Iames Awdely suffer''d about it?
A61547Whether upon the Deposition of R. 2. the Claim of Right on behalf of the Duke of Clarence''s Heir, ought not to have been made?
A61547Why did not our Saviour answer this Difficulty, but leave them to collect their Duty from the use of Cesar''s Coin among them?
A61547and whether such an Oath may not lawfully be taken, notwithstanding any former Oath?
A61547and whether upon Alexander''s Conquest, they could not as well take a new Oath to him?
A52139''T was well replyed of the English man in Edward the Fourths time, to the French man that ask''d him insulting, When they should see us there again?
A52139And how shall they bring in Popery?
A52139And what great Undertaking could we be ripe for abroad, while so divided at home?
A52139And what part did he play?
A52139Are there no terms of Pradon, Mr. Bayes?
A52139But Mr. Bayes doth not this now look like Sorcery and Extortion, which of all crimes you purge your self from so often without an Accuser?
A52139But now among friends, was there ever any thing so monstrous?
A52139But what do you think of this Man?
A52139But what will you say to that of the Arch- bishops, than either like Philosophers or like Christians?
A52139But what, pray Mr. Bayes, is this Pin in Pallas''s Buckler?
A52139But who shall be the Judg?
A52139But( that I may not offend in Latin too frequently?
A52139But, Mr. Bayes why may not your Answerer or any man else quote St. Austin, as well as you may the Scri ● … re?
A52139Can the refusal of Communion here be thought any other thing than Duty?
A52139Could Mistriss Mopsa her self have furnished you with a more pleasant and worshipful Tale?
A52139Did he like a Protestant Apostle, in one day convert thousands of the Irish Papists?
A52139Do not you think that the King has considered all these things?
A52139Do you not see now, Mr. Bays, that you needed not have gone so for a word, when you might have had it in the Neighbourhood?
A52139Do you think the Christians would have palliated so 〈 ◊ 〉, and colluded with their Consciences?
A52139For who so proper as a young Priest to sacrifice to the Genius of the Age; yea, though his Conscience were the Offering?
A52139Fy, ● … y, Mr. Bayes, Is this the Language of a Divine, and to be used, as you ometimes express it, in the fa ● … of the Sun?
A52139Had he no Friends to have given him good Counsel before his Understanding were quite unsettled?
A52139Hereupon what do they?
A52139How near does this come to his commendation of Bishop Bramhal before?
A52139I would ask in what manner?
A52139If I had leisure how easy a thing it were for to extract out of the Narrative a just parallel of our Author, even almost upon all points?
A52139Is this the same thing now?
A52139It seems that he knowes something more than I did believe of the Design in the late times before the War Whom doth he mean by our Governours?
A52139It wants nothing of perfection, but that it doth not begin with Once upon a time?
A52139Or, would he( with all 〈 ◊ 〉 be it spoken) 〈 ◊ 〉 his Kingdom of England for that of Macassar?
A52139Shall these Men alwayes presume to usur ● … to themselves that venerable stile of the Church of England?
A52139Such as this, Why may not the Soveraign Power bestow this Priviledge upon Ceremony, and Custom, by virtue of its prerogative?
A52139Upon such occasions in company, we use to ask, Sir, Whom d ● … you mean?
A52139Was the Bookseller more Impotunate, or the Author more Courteous?
A52139What Censures, what Excommunications, what Deprivations, what Imprisonments?
A52139What Ignorance, or rat ● … er, what Forgery is this of Scripture& Religio ● …?
A52139What Signal Marks, what Testimonies would he have of this Conversion?
A52139What can I tell thee then but miserie?
A52139What does Mr. Bayes in this case?
A52139What if the gesture or adoration to be used to the Altars, as now we have learned to speak?
A52139What shall he do then?
A52139What was here to inrage our Author so that he must raze the Fort of St. Katherine, and attempt with the same success a second Escalade?
A52139What would they have had more?
A52139When he was drawn t ● … us low, did not 〈 ◊ 〉 you, stand need of tilting?
A52139Where then were all your Leaf- Turners?
A52139Who can escape from thinking that you are adream''d of your Comfortable Importance?
A52139Who could in Reason expect that a Man should in the same moments undertake the labour of an Author and a Father?
A52139Who is there of the Systematical, German Geneva, Orthodox Divines, but could have taught him better?
A52139Why, saith he, must you prescribe me what I shall write?
A52139Would Mr. Bayes then perswade men to assert this against all the Powers of the Earth?
A52139Your next Flower, and that indeed is a sweet one, Dear Heart, how could I hug and kiss thee for all this Love and Sweetness?

A417711 First if the deed and obligation of our Ancestors?
A4177119 2, Then how could the great Assembly pray for a Blessing on this late Association?
A417712 2 I know thy works and thy Labour and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them?
A417712 Secondly, if it be in the power of people to choise any form or kind of Government?
A4177133. Who feared the Lord and served their own Gods Or what more have you to boast of by your Learning and external form of piety?
A41771And can do nothing of our selves, without the Lords Assistance, and the help of his holy Spirit?
A41771And must the People by an implicit submission and deplorable stupidity, destroy themselves?
A41771And seing the Lord will be glorious in his judgments?
A41771And there rest on their Protestations, would thus effectuat any thing?
A41771And this was done by the English Prelats who were the principal moving Instruments in this Revolution, in bringing him to the Throne?
A41771And when the Lord leaves the house, why should Man abide in it?
A41771Are not the best of Men subject to sin and fallings?
A41771But Secondly, You say though there be dissatisfaction with many Persons, whether Officers or Members?
A41771But it is objected, that this too hard a Sentence; will we Condemn all?
A41771But unto the wicked God sayes, What hast thou to do to declare my Statutes?
A41771Doth not such Prayers draw to a Blasphemous consequence?
A41771Furder I would interrogat the great Assemby, how they parted with the Indulgency and Toleration?
A41771Have not they in such an extremity, good ground to make use of that natural and radical power they have?
A41771Have you this to say that you are in Judgment sound Presbyterians and professes sound Principles?
A41771How prove we, that Conversion is not be ascribed to the present Church?
A41771How then can this Body admit of two distinct Authorities, or how can Obedience consist with it?
A41771I say can the Church which is Christs Body, serve two Heads?
A41771Now according to the Judgment of the Assembly, if it shall be yealded?
A41771Now let them be cast into a Categorical Mould ▪ What form shall come forth?
A41771Now yield, that Ministers and Elders were sufficient, and free of all Scandal, dot not their joining with the present Church?
A41771Oh ▪ can Union be in sin and defection?
A41771Or against which of all the Atri ● utes of God( either Communicable or Incommunicable) would this take up a con ● radiction?
A41771Que ● t: Why will you join with others, in so far as they are Reformed?
A41771Secondly, If it be in the power of the People, to choise any form or kind of Government that they please?
A41771Shal the end of Government be lost throw the Weakness, Tyrrany, and Wickedness of Governours?
A41771Should they give up their reason as Men?
A41771So that ye are never in favour with God, nor honoured of him to own duty, but still goes on in the same sin: For what can obstinat Sinners do?
A41771That there were no Church on Earth with which we could join with, no more than with you; would this be any thing absurd?
A41771The Question then is, What shall the dissatisfied do, whether separat or no?
A41771Their Consciences as Christians?
A41771To which I Answer, What if it were yeilded in Thesi?
A41771To which I Answer, it would be interrogat, if the Assembly understands these defects?
A41771What concord hath Christ with Belial?
A41771What doth the Assembly mean by their Sentiments?
A41771What fellowship hath Righteousness with Vnrighteousness, and what Communion hath Light with Darkness?
A41771What if all the Shires in Scotland would send a Thousand Arm''d Men to the chief City of every Shire, to declare against them?
A41771When debates are not about a Fundamental Truth and Necessar duty?
A41771],[ Edinburgh?
A41771and what concord hath Christ with Belial?
A41771and yet the Governours use not the Rod of Discipline to censure them; Then whether should the Members separat from that Church, yea or no?
A41771how contradictorie is this to the command of God?
A41771how miserable would this ● ● nd be?
A41771make them scandalous, and doth not our practise in withdrawing from them?
A41771or can we ● ccuse them of the Erastian Indulgence and Toleration?
A41771or how can any within the Church?
A41771or what Agreement hath the Temple of GOD with Idols?
A41771or what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols?
A41771or what part hath he that Believeth with an Infidel?
A41771or what part hath he that believeth with an unbeliever?
A41771or would you be in a happy condition if you obtained it?
A41771shall it so be with you?
A41771to admit of two distinct Authorities, and doth not this overturn the nature and Vows of Baptism?
A41771which are evill and thou hast tryed them which say they are Apostles and are not, and hast found them liars what shal I say then in this?
A41771will you still go on in a wilful malicious despite against the cause of Christ, and the followers thereof?
A41771would not this make the Church a Monster?
A5872020, 21,& c.* And if they must keep so precisely to the Practice of those Days, why does any of their Ministers marry a Second Wife?
A587208. or Kneeling, be Prayer it self, or only outward helps to Prayer to make it more fervent?
A58720And if any shall but offer to inform them, tho''in never so peaceable and friendly a manner, does it not prove the occasion of an eternal Quarrel?
A58720And the Augustine Confession has; Some Men then may ask, whether we would have this life of Man to be without Order, without Ceremonies?
A58720And then what is this to the case of our Dissenters?
A58720And were not then the Pastors invested with a Power superior to that of the People?
A58720And will not our Dissenters shew the same respect to a Christian Prince that the Apostles did to Heathen Magistrates?
A58720And yet will they perswade us we are Idolaters?
A58720Besides, though these Subscriptions were sufficient cause for Separation, how can the Lay People justifie their Separation upon this account?
A58720But allowing these Presbyters were Bishops, what advantage will it be to them?
A58720But how can self- interest oblige the Clergy to defend the Church of England as now establish''d, if they thought it not agreeable to the Word of God?
A58720But pray, How comes the posture of sitting to be the only fit posture for receiving the Lord''s Supper?
A58720But pray, Why may not the words make as perfect a Prayer when they are pronounced by two Mouths, as when only by one?
A58720But some of them say, Why should not Ministers be tied to a Form of Preaching, as well as of Praying?
A58720But suppose we shou''d grant that the Apostolick Churches were Congregational( as''t is plain they were not) what then?
A58720But what need we go so far from home for Instances of this kind?
A58720But where have they Authority for this Opinion?
A58720But, say the Dissenters, What if the Church of England Excommunicates us; may we not then lawfully Separate and set up Meetings of our own?
A58720But, say they, If these Ceremonies do not bind the Consciences of Men, Why does the Discipline and Censures of the Church, force Men to use them?
A58720Did not Christ appoint Apostles, and give them Authority for that end?
A58720Did not they in all places as they planted Churches, appoint Officers to teach and govern them?
A58720Do they separate from the Church out of pure Conscience?
A58720For the Episcopal Government, what is there in it that is dangerous, and may reasonably alarm Men''s Consciences?
A58720How came they then to lose it, ● or how came the People to pretend an original Right thereto?
A58720How can these Men pretend then that they have us''d all proper means to satisfie their Consciences?
A58720How comes it then, that the Spirit of the Hearers is not as much stinted when they joyn in this Form, as if they had joyn''d in a written Form?
A58720How will they now justify their Separation, or clear themselves from the imputation of Schism?
A58720If one may be dispens''d with without sin, Why not another?
A58720If so, Why will they hear the Extempore Prayer of another Man?
A58720If they are resolv''d; they will not believe Separation from a true Church to be sinful, who can help that?
A58720If they will not be so civil as to Conform to the Church of England, Why will they not follow the Example of other Reformed Churches?
A58720Is Schism not a sin?
A58720Is it in reverence to the Ministers, least they should have none to Preach to?
A58720Is not this truly the case among them?
A58720May I not Separate in such case?
A58720Must they therefore proceed to Separation?
A58720Now, How shall we know what Ceremonies are lawful, and what not?
A58720Or is their Separation from us not Schism?
A58720Pray let me ask them how this Original and inherent Right( as Mr. Baxter calls it) of choosing their own Ministers, came to be lodg''d in the People?
A58720Shall we believe that all these learned Men did not understand the meaning of that Text so well as some of our Dissenters do?
A58720Was it not in the Apostles?
A58720Was that the posture Christ us''d?
A58720Was there not a Church to be form''d in the beginning?
A58720What Power are they depriv''d of by the Bishops that they had then?
A58720What have they to say to this?
A58720What says Mr. Baxter to this?
A58720What will they say to this?
A58720Where do they find that Churches were limitted to particular Congregations?
A58720Where was the Church Power then lodg''d?
A58720Why do they not observe all these Circumstances?
A58720Why do they not take it leaning as Christ did, and after Supper, and in an upper Room?
A58720Why then do the People forsake the Church?
A58720Why then may not this be done as well when''t is read as when''t is pronounced by another?
A58720Why will not our Non- conformist Ministers follow their example?
A58720Years, since that, for all that time, all the Churches of the World had no other kind of Government?
A58720but whether this or that Minister of Christ?
A58720is not this as much a Form of Prayer to all the Hearers, as any written Form can be?
A58720or at least put a stop to any farther intimacy between them?
A58720yes, say they, doubtless we do: But have they us''d all proper means to inform their judgments, and come to the knowledge of the truth?
A58720▪ Nay farther, When they declare''t is needless to go about to remove their Scruples, for they are resolv''d beforehand they will not be convinc''d?
A2952612. would not you fall into the like condition?
A2952616. how are they carried about from one quarter of the heavens to another?
A295263. where he parlies with them about it, Are ye so foolish,( saith he) having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh?
A29526And are you so?
A29526And from what, and to what were they thus turned?
A29526And how many every where carried about with them?
A29526And how so?
A29526And is it so?
A29526And so entring what did they?
A29526And such wheeles how many in this Nation at this day?
A29526And truly so is it sometimes in matters of Religious concernment, both Doctrines and Practices, they are taking with some; How so?
A29526And was this crime then adjudged to be so Capital?
A29526And what then remaines( to draw to a Conclusion) but that all of us seek after this Grace?
A29526And wherefore doth he foretell this?
A29526And wherefore must these be?
A29526And wherefore so, and so?
A29526And wherefore this?
A29526Are his sinnes many and great?
A29526Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his coming?
A29526Being( as it seemeth) every way such as Saint Peter there describeth, unlearned and unstable; what a nose of wax do they make of the Scriptures?
A29526But how cometh it so to be?
A29526But how shall that be done?
A29526But what Doctrine?
A29526But what shall we understand hereby?
A29526But when the Sun is up, what need of Canales?
A29526But withall, how many are there found to be intoxicated therewith?
A29526But withall, who knoweth what the Consequence of those more venial Errors may be?
A29526But you will now say unto me; How shall we be preserved from this so dangerous a Vertigo?
A29526But( taking it thus) how doth this Grace establish the Heart?
A29526But( will some say) may we not try all things?
A29526Come we now to the latter, How it cometh to passe that Christians professing the faith of Christ, should be carried about with such Doctrines?
A29526For Doctrines, how divers?
A29526For what is our hope, or joy, or Crown of rejoycing( saith he)?
A29526How Christians come to be carried about with false doctrines?
A29526How are their hearts hereby filled with disquieting cares, and tormenting fears?
A29526How cometh it to passe that there should be such Doctrines held forth?
A29526How cometh this to passe?
A29526How shall we be kept from being thus carried about, and carried away?
A29526How unsearchable are his Iudgments, and his wayes past finding out?
A29526Is not this a Christians liberty?
A29526May we know( say they) what this new doctrine whereof thou speakest is?
A29526May we not try all things?
A29526Now how cometh this to passe?
A29526Now of whether of these shall we understand the Apostle here to speak?
A29526Now so taking it, What is it for the heart to be Established?
A29526Now what a dishonour then is this?
A29526Now what wonder is it to see unballasted vessels, light Skiffs and Cock- boats, to be tossed to and fro upon the waves?
A29526Or despise you the Church of God?
A29526Prove all things; Hold fast that which is good?
A29526Seeth thou a man wise in his own conceit?
A29526Should the Mariner do so by his Card and Compasse?
A29526Touch not, taste not, handle not?]
A29526True( say some) they are so to do; but how long?
A29526What Wolves were these?
A29526What doubts which it can not resolve?
A29526What part of the Soul?
A29526What were this but to set Hagar above Sarah: to give the handmaid the upper hand of her Mistresse?
A29526What winds are there that can arise in the heart of a Christian, which this one word( Grace) is not able to lay?
A29526Whence is it that so many have been carried about with divers and strange doctrines?
A29526Why do thy disciples transgresse the traditions of the Elders?
A29526Would not you miscarry in the like way?
A29526Would you not be thus carried about?
A29526Would you not be thus carried about?
A29526[ Shall I praise you for this?
A29526and many of them how strange?
A29526and then, that so many should be carried about with them?
A29526first, that there should be such doctrines held forth?
A29526how taking is this with many?
A29526nay, is it not his duty?
A29526this is sufficient to heal them: are his wants many?
A29526this is sufficient to pardon them: are his Infirmities many?
A29526this turning sicknesse?
A29526to have the Professours of it so unlike unto it self; the children so unlike the mother, such Changelings?
A29526what Grace is it that hath this Property?
A29526what ballast shall we get?
A29526what variety of strange doctrines are there to be found?
A29526when Christ is once come into the heart of a Christian, dwelling there by his Spirit, what need then any more of this Candle- light of the Scriptures?
A29526when the wheel begins to turn, going down the Hill, who knoweth where it will stay?

A38683But how many I will not say invent evil reports, but rejoyce at them, and envy their fame and repute?
A38683But let me be informed from you what you mean by profiting, are you taught any truth needful for your souls that is not taught in publik?
A38683But suppose he that you think you can profit most by should go into India?
A38683But what need I say more?
A38683C. Because, if so, I am afraid it''s only a conversion to the Non- conformists, and not to God?
A38683C. Can you remember the particular arguments or reasons that so awakened you the last time?
A38683C. Did you ever know any confess themselves to be the causers of division, though they were?
A38683C. Have you any just exceptions against the life or Doctrine of our Minister?
A38683C. Is it more in the power of a Non- conformist Minister to give grace than a Conformist?
A38683C. Is our Minister bound to preach?
A38683C. Surely you are highly mistaken, to think that good prayers can be formal, or make you cold and dead in praying them?
A38683C. What is more fickle than the multitude, who are tossed up and down with every wind of Doctrine?
A38683C. Who prayed and fasted more than the Pharisees?
A38683Christians are enjoyn''d to pray for Heathen Governors, and do they act like Christians that pray against Christian Governors?
A38683Have you any thing else you would advise me to?
A38683I mean, is not the spirit the Author of real grace in the heart, and piety in the life?
A38683I pray speak sincerely, do you find any such over- powering sense of any truth continue in your mind afterwards?
A38683If you scruple at Common- Prayer, why do you not joyn with us in the rest?
A38683Is this the same case with Christs and the Apostles?
A38683Let me ask you therefore, are they not hugely affected to the Non- conformists way?
A38683N. C, No, but in those waters we find the spirit most moving, must we not frequent most there?
A38683N. C. But can you think that a people that pray, and fast, and hear so much are not the best?
A38683N. C. But do you not observe how many there are that worship God in private?
A38683N. C. But have not the Puritans been alway accounted the godly of the Land?
A38683N. C. But those that preach in private, have been and are instruments of converting many?
A38683N. C. But what reason have you that any of them think it lawful?
A38683N. C. But what?
A38683N. C. But why do the Bishops suffer such men to come into Livings, and why do n''t they eject them when in?
A38683N. C. I must acknowledge I think it would not, what do you gather from hence?
A38683N. C. I pray tell me, how then it comes to pass that one man converteth more than another doth?
A38683N. C. So they are, were ever so many Ministers so strangely driven from their places?
A38683N. C. Well friend, I see you will be for your Mumpsimus still; what say you to my other reason against hearing in publick Churches?
A38683N. C. Why do you ask?
A38683N. C. Yes, I believe it is; what then?
A38683N. C. Yes, and ought I not to go where I can profit most?
A38683There is some part of the Bible in the Mass, is it e''re a whit the worse for being there?
A38683To pray by a form is lawful and good, else why would our Saviour have left us a form?
A38683Was not your other reason this, that you can profit most in private?
A38683We must submit to every Ordinance of man for the Lords sake: Do not we blame those Ministers that are Non- resident and leave their people?
A38683Why is not your way more Will- worship than ours?
A38683and little of modesty, that thinks himself wiser and his own inventions, better than these?
A38683and than Cromwell and his Companions?
A38683and why do you forsake our own Minister who hath subscrib''d to the Articles of our Religion?
A38683and why is it not as much a fault in the people to leave their Minister?
A38683do they not angrily( or as they call it, zealously) condemn all that are not of their way?
A38683do you not use a form for a Grace at Meals?
A38683had they any thing extraordinary in them?
A38683have not you a great opinion of him for his godliness, and love, and compassion to him, because a Non- conformist?
A38683is it any evil in thee to accept what is given thee?
A38683is it not a great deal better for you to mind ▪ judgment, mercy, and faith, than to distract your thoughts with Mint, Annice, and Cummin?
A38683is not yours Will- worship?
A38683is there not more of Christianity in hiding our Brothers infirmities, than in insulting over them?
A38683much of confidence and will in his worship?
A38683must we hear and receive Sacraments,& c. in the mean time from such a man?
A38683or so affected in hearing as was spoke of before?
A38683or that lives best?
A38683that which we are so much affec ● ed with, we are not apt to forget: But tell me, what power hath it had upon you since?
A38683what real change is made in them?
A38683wherein you have more your own Will, and inventions than we have?
A38683who are more likely to get grace than they?
A38683who is the best Christian, he that prays,& c. most?
A38683why do we use Psalms?
A38683why, I pray is it lawful for us to do any thing in the Worship of God that we have not Scripture for?
A38683why?
A38683would they not count it a kind of Apostacy and backsliding from grace for any to forsake private meetings, and receive the Supper in publick?
A339875: The Archbishop( as is said) asked him, Of what Profession he was?
A33987All this is very true, but what then?
A33987And by and by, the Bishop asks him, if he had no Letters from those of his own Order?
A33987And for what Crime?
A33987And what matters it, if the Argument be new, provided it be an Argument, and be strong?
A33987And why are they necessary for this more than any other?
A33987Archbishop saith, What is that?
A33987B. is no Honest- man, but a Thief, a Murtherer,& c. I wonder what Judge or Justice of Peace would Convent any upon such an Oath?
A33987But besides, what should Commin prove?
A33987But did ever any Divine make Miracles necessary to confirm every Manifestation of the Spirit?
A33987But he goes on:"But, I beseech you, what doth it more bind his Attention to?
A33987But how doth it appear that others have?
A33987But how will he avoid it?
A33987But how will he prove this?
A33987But it may be he will say, There is no Promise of Assistance as to Words in Prayer: What should be the Meaning of that?
A33987But( admitting this, which we freely grant) is there yet no need of the Spirit to bring to remembrance the things we have had of Christ''s?
A33987By what Authority did the Bishop Sentence him to the Pillory, to have his Ears cut off, his Nose slit, and to suffer perpetual Imprisonment?
A33987Can this Soul be thus far in this Particular be influenced, and not influenced, as to Words also expressive of this Desire and Hope?
A33987Christ had undoubted Authority to institute Acts, and Means of Worship for and in his Church?
A33987Do not the Words here follow the Affections?
A33987Do you acknowledge any other Power, save Christ on the Earth?
A33987Have not all Congregations renewed Sins, Wants, and Mercies?
A33987How must the Entry of this be?
A33987How should there be, or what need was there of any Dispute about it, till it came to be universally imposed?
A33987How unreasonable is this for him to say, who will allow the Holy Spirit no Influence, but upon our Affections, exciting and inflaming them?
A33987Is it to attend to the Words and Phrases?
A33987Is it upon the Matter of Prayer?
A33987Is not this very unfair dealing, and an horrible Derogation from the Dignity, and blessed influences of the Holy Spirit?
A33987Or, that Prayers should be made for all Men, as to those things that are the Common Wants of all Men, but no further?
A33987Suppose they do proceed from natural Causes, why may not the Holy Spirit set those natural Causes on work?
A33987The Archbishop asks him, What Gospel he call''d the Holy Gospel?
A33987The Archbishop asks him, What Order was that?
A33987The Archbishop asks, Do you acknowledge any other Power save that of Christ to be on the Earth?
A33987The Archbishop asks, Of what Parish, and in what Diocess?
A33987The Archbishop asks, Vnder what Porrer do you own to bold that Gospel?
A33987The Archbishop replies, Where then I Pray?
A33987The Archbishop saith, Do you not acknowledge, a Defender of the Holy Catholick Faith?
A33987The Archbishops asks, How do you endeavour to make the Church purer, when you neither communicate with Her in Sacraments, or in Prayer?
A33987The Author goeth on telling us, that after some Consideration, he was called in again and asked, Whether he was ever ordained, and by whom?
A33987The Queen asked him, What he had to say against F. Commin, that he suspected him to be an Impostor?
A33987To which the Pope returned, How in the Name of Iesus, Mary, and all the Saints hast thou done so?
A33987Was it his Praying two Hours?
A33987Was not this a great Blockhead, think we for a Iesuite?
A33987We say, who asketh any such Thing?
A33987What Reason can there be assign''d, why those Acts of inward Affections, should not be as intense and vigorous as those that go before them?
A33987What was there now in all this, to prove Faithful Commin a Popish Priest?
A33987What, and whose Cases, or Wants, the Minister is bound to represent or make known to God in the publick Congregations or Meetings of Christians?
A33987What, if some Iesuites have discoursed for this kind of Prayer under the Name of Oratio acquisita, acquired Prayer?
A33987What?
A33987Whether Forms of Prayer be lawful yea or no?
A33987Whether People may join with Ministers using them?
A33987Whether Praying in a Form of Words do not stint and limit the Spirit of Prayer?
A33987Whether supposing them lawful, they may be lawfully imposed on Ministers of the Gospel?
A33987Whether the Use of Publick Forms of Prayer doth not deaden the Devotion of Prayer?
A33987Whether the common Cases and Wants of Christians can be so well expressed in one constant Form, as in a conceived Prayer?
A33987Whether the use of Publick Forms, be not a sinful neglect of the Ministerial Gift of Prayer?
A33987Whether there be any Warrant for Forms of Prayer in Scripture, or pure Antiquity?
A33987Whether there be not more of the Work of our own Spirit in it( which I think no modest Man will deny?)
A33987Why may we not express it by these Phrases as well as those?
A54142And can we reasonably think the Romanists will be wanting in that, when they see it is their own( and perhaps their only) Interest to do so?
A54142And if it be so, what can it do?
A54142And if they say, O but they were in Error that punish''d their Non- conformity; I answer, how can she prove that she is Infallibly in the Right?
A54142And is not this a Rare Motive for a Christian Church to continue Penal Laws for Religion?
A54142And what are they?
A54142Are there Tares in Opinion?
A54142Are we afraid of their Power and yet provoke it?
A54142But may I without Offence ask her, when she kept Persecution out?
A54142But what need we go so far back?
A54142But, Is it not an odd thing, that by leaving them on foot, every Body shall have Liberty of Conscience but the Goverment?
A54142Could they Conscientiously oppose his Exclusion for his Religion, and now his Religion because he will not leave it?
A54142Did Christ then come to save Mens Lives, and not to destroy them?
A54142Does he seek to impose his own Religion upon her?
A54142He condemned that Spirit in his Disciples, and shall we uphold the same Spirit, and that by Law too, which he condemned by his Gospel?
A54142How can she be sincerely willing that should be done, that she is not willing should be done legally?
A54142How could she hope for this King without his Conscience?
A54142How?
A54142I apply it thus: Is it not her Interest to be careful she does it not a second time?
A54142I believe there may be some poor silly Biggots that hope bigger, and talk further, but who can help that?
A54142I have been often scandal''d at that Expression from the Sons of the Church of England, especially those of the Robe, What do you talk for?
A54142Is it their Property to do so?
A54142Is it unjust in Popery to invade her Priviledges, and can it be just in her to provoke it, by denying a Christian Liberty?
A54142Is not this doing Evil that Good may come of it, and that uncertain too, against an express Command as well as common Charity?
A54142Is this against Protestancy?
A54142Is this an Immitation of their practice, to uphold the Weapons of their Destruction?
A54142Let the Tears and Wheat grow together till the Harvest; what''s that?
A54142Let us not then usurp their Office Besides, we are to Love Enemies; this is the great Law of our Religion; by what Law then are we to Persecute them?
A54142O what Corruption is this that has prevail''d over Men of such Pretensions to Light and Conscience?
A54142Or if she keeps out Popery for any bodies sake but her own?
A54142Or to exclude those from her Society who may be admitted into Heaven?
A54142Shall the Church of England, that glories in a great Light, be more concern''d for her Power, than her Credit?
A54142She pretends to fear the Strokes of the Romanists, but I would fain know of her, if following their Example will convert them, or secure her?
A54142Should they not be pluckt up before?
A54142Suppose this, is there not as Potent Naval Powers to assist the Constitution of the Kingdom from such Invasions?
A54142Suppose your Apprehensions well grounded, you can but be Destroy''d; Which is most comfortable for you to suffer by Law or without it?
A54142They shall think, says he to his Disciples, they do God good service to kill you; who should think so?
A54142To be, than to be that which she should be?
A54142Was not Religion sufficiently guarded and fenced in ● hem?
A54142Was there ever more true and cordial Reverence in the Worship of God?
A54142Well, but if we must not knock Folks on the Head, what must we do with them?
A54142What Charter hath Christ given the Church to bind men up to more than himself hath done?
A54142What ground can there be why Christians should not stand upon the same terms now which they did in the time of Christ and his Apostles?
A54142What then has befallen her, that she changes the course she took with such resolutions of perseverance?
A54142What then is the matter?
A54142What then is the use of Penal Laws?
A54142What weight is it to a Church, that she is the Church by Law established, when no humane Law can make a true Church?
A54142Where is Faith in God?
A54142Who art Thou( saith he) who dost judge another?
A54142Will she Dissent from both now?
A54142and should she( she I say, that pretends to be a reformed Church) uphold those Laws that do destroy them?
A54142as if he should have said, dost thou know thy self, what thou art, and what thou dost?
A54142is it not recent in memory, that Bishop Vsher was Employ''d to O. Cromwell by some of the Clergy of the Church of England for Liberty of Conscience?
A54142or can she expect what she will not give?
A54142or conceive that his Honour or Conscience would let him leave the Members of his Communion under the lash of so many Destroying Laws?
A54142or not do as she would be done by, because she fears others will not observe the same Rule to her?
A54142where is trust in Providence?
A54142with Penal Laws?
A54142would she be so serv''d by a Prince of her own Religion, and she in the like Circumstances?

A85415Againe, is it not one of their owne Principles, that no act performed by man, can be the foundation of Christian Religion?
A85415Are not most of your own Doctrines found amongst the Tenets of Arminius?
A85415Are those opinions erroneous, or hereticall in Independents, which are orthodox and Canonicall in Presbyterians?
A85415B. brought upon the Stage, as well as I. G. in the habite and reproach of an Erroneous and Hereticall man?
A85415But I beseech you, tell me seriously: is it matter of conscience indeed with you, to punish the innocent with the guilty?
A85415Can the children of this Profession be ignorant, that there are amongst themselves discrepances in judgements, and contrarieties in opinions?
A85415Delicti fies idem reprehensor,& Author?
A85415Doe you not want Errours and Heresies to complete your catologue& roll, when you are necessitated to muster and take in such as these?
A85415For how often doe they dissemble and prevaricate with their professions?
A85415For what can reasonably be meant, by a testimony to our Solemne League and Covenant?
A85415For what?
A85415Have I not then reason to doubt, whether any of those men of renowne, and not rather some petty Scribe, was the Compiler of it?
A85415If so, I desire to know where, or in what part of the booke, they give testimony unto the Truth of Jesus Christ?
A85415If there be no Free- will, how doth he judg the world e?
A85415If there be no grace of God( saith he) how doth he save the world?
A85415Is their love any whit more extensive, than only to cover the multitude of their owne sins?
A85415Is there any need of charging a stone, that it doe not speake; or a deafe man, that he doe not hear; or a blind man, that he doe not see?
A85415Is this the Suprcma lex in the Republique of Presbyterie?
A85415Is this to appeare for God, or his truth, to appeare against evident reason, yea common sence it selfe?
A85415Is this your reall Reformation, to cry out Midnight when the Sunne shines in his might upon your faces?
A85415Mr. Ash, Mr. Candrey, Mr. Calamie, Mr. Burgesse?
A85415Must we needs speake nothing but non- sence, and inconsistencies, to be free from Errours and Heresies?
A85415Or doth not this plainly imply, that there is apprehension of errour in the respective Dissenters amonst them?
A85415Or he that sowes only tares in his field, to finde himselfe agrieved, that the earth makes him not a returne in wheate?
A85415Some of you( I suppose) can not be ignorant, but that they are: but doe you therefore judge them Errours or Heresies?
A85415The said Testimony produceth my Errors& Heresies( so called) by whole pages,& half pages, as if it were loth to leave any romth for other mens?

A62888And do they not breed up their Children and Relations in the very same Principles with themselves?
A62888And in the mean time, are not Religion and Government like to be at a very fine pass?
A62888And pray, tell me, what shall a Prince do in that Case, where are diverse ways of Worship allowed and frequented in the same Nation?
A62888And what one Opinion is there imaginable, which may not be brought in under the pretence of a farther degree of New Light?
A62888Are Peace and Truth the Ingredients which must heal us?
A62888Besides, are not the Vulgar People the hands, the Tools, the Instruments which the Greatest must always make use of?
A62888Did not every Press and every Pulpit declare against Episcopacy, Liturgy and Cere ● onies?
A62888Dost thou thus reward the Lord, O foolish England and unwise?
A62888Hath it no Rule which it ought to walk by?
A62888Hath not any such Undertaker a vast and already formed Party in all Parts of the Kingdom?
A62888How doth it appear that Conscience hath any such absolute Right to Liberty?
A62888How many Ages will the Nonconformists take to breed up a man equal to any one of these?
A62888How many were there who went out upon the great assurance which they had from their Agents in London of returning again in a few Weeks with Honour?
A62888If it be lawful to fight with a King, why is it not lawful to kill him?
A62888In the next place I shall ask, who taught the People to be offended at a few harmless Ceremonies?
A62888Now I would ● ain know of these Gentlemen, whether they are of the same Judgment now about Toleration, as they were then?
A62888Now if the Pride of these Men should be thus far gratified, who can secure us of any great Effect from it?
A62888Now is it any wonder, if there were nothing more in the Case than this, that in Trade they should much out- do us?
A62888Or, Secondly, shall the Prince carry himself equally and indifferently towards all Perswasions, countenance and prefer them all alike?
A62888Shall he discountenance the Professors of any one, by keeping them out of all Office and Employment?
A62888Such and such a one is a very precious and knowing man, and do you think that he would not conform, if he did not know Conformity to be a sin?
A62888That at the Execution of Archbishop La ● d, he uttered these Words with great Triumph, Art thou come Little Will?

A62888Will their Hearers imitate their Teachers in their compliance upon these Terms or abhorr them for it?
A62888hath it no obligation to follow any besides its own Light?
A51052And how far it is by us admissible?
A51052And what abatement is there condescended unto of the exorbitant powers of Prelacy, which is not here either formally or virtually repaired?
A51052And what complyance we may have ● or it?
A51052And why is this accusation pretended to be in general of all such Covenants, when yet it is expressely intended against the League and Covenant?
A51052And, am not I grieved, O Lord, with them that rise up against thee?
A51052But he goeth on, However, are we Christians?
A51052But is he therefore bound to know them all, or to contend for them?
A51052But it may be said, if we be reponed to the same Estate wherein our Predecessours were, how can we prove disconforme in our practice?
A51052But where there hath appeared no conscience in keeping; why do we expect much sense in interpreting?
A51052But wherefore should I urge such deceitful generals?
A51052But why trifle I with such a person?
A51052Can not these thing lye easily enough together in an Oath, which yet are all comprehended in the Law of God?
A51052How then can these two consist?
A51052How will he excuse this inconsequence and inequality?
A51052Is it because the Author would have us to reckon it amongst the worst of combinations?
A51052Is not this an odde medly to be hudled up in a sacred oath?
A51052It is true, our Presbyterie did not retain union as it was desired; but what then?
A51052Must we believe the Covenant to eb worse then can be expressed, because the Accuser can prove nothing?
A51052Nay, who is man in that case of whom we should be afraid?
A51052Neither is it the present question, whether we may simply joyne in these meetings or not?
A51052No?
A51052Or because we are violently expressed, must we therefore be repute wil ● ul deserters?
A51052Or by what salvo may my sitting and acting be justified in a meeting, in the power whereof I hold it unlawful to partake?
A51052Thus I have heard that the Bishop of Glasgow, in answer to a person expressing his fears of the return of Popery, told him, what then?
A51052Very right; why should not their origen and warrant, and the measure and rule of their power go together?
A51052Was not this grave and judicious reasoning?
A51052Well, admit this to be a truth, what then?
A51052What Logick can knit together such inferences?
A51052What shall become of Patronages pertaining to Bishops, and of other Churches which are of their patrimony?
A51052What then?
A51052What?
A51052Whether a constant Moderator, or fixed Proeslos, for terme of life, in Church- meetings, be a thing in it self lawful?
A51052Who can deny it?
A51052Who would not pity such dissolute folly?
A51052Who would not pity such folly?
A51052are the present Presbyteries and Synods no Presbyteries and Synods?
A51052or in what manner can they be reconciled?
A51052then are the present Ministers no Presbyters?
A51052who would not long for the shadows of the evening, and ● o b ● at rest from all these poor, childish, trifling contest ●?

A42456Again, where, think we, meaneth he, that all this was pretended?
A42456Against those words, f Did I not then shew both patience, love, and all good affection?
A42456And indeed what was it to any of us, whether M. Walker had had M. Wottons answers, or no?
A42456And might they not justly so report, when in effect the Ministers under their hands had all joyntly so done?
A42456And to what end then should such a charge be given to the Doctor, that M. VValker should by no means be admitted to the sight of it?
A42456And to what purpose were it, for me to deny, and you to affirme; and so as it were out- vy one anothers credit?
A42456And why so?
A42456But am I, or is any man else bound to reconcile whatsoever contradictions are, if any be, or may be found in M. VVottons writings?
A42456But how, or where, doth M. VVotton thus deride our Orthodox Divines?
A42456But what saith Lubbertus to him for it?
A42456Did ever man read a charge more malicious, or more slenderly backt?
A42456For doth not the Word of God say expresly, that i Christ was, and is justified?
A42456For first, I might demand of him, where I so extolled M. Bradshaws book?
A42456For first, is M. Walker a Minister of Gods Word?
A42456For first, who be the They, that he speaketh of?
A42456For how can that be erroneous, that is held on good ground?
A42456For not to stand upon strict terms concerning the word Worthie: what doth M. Wotton say more here, then that which he saith else- where?
A42456For what needed M. Walker to have kept all this coil, and have made all this ado if no such thing had then been, or were about to ● e done?
A42456For x what Iudge is bound to sentence any man upon evidence not produced?
A42456How many mens writings may more then seven times seven errors be found in, whom it were yet most uncharitable therefore to censure for such?
A42456Is the name of Antonie Wotton then so obscure a title?
A42456Or is every one that is taken in grosse contradictions, of necessity thereupon to be condemned for an heretick?
A42456Or wil M. Walker therefore dare to pronounce Luther an heretick, as denying the truth of Christs humanity?
A42456Purgemme?
A42456Sixtly, suppose it were an error, and a dangerous one to, that M. Wotton maintains; whence knows M. Walker?
A42456Thirdly, what if M. Wotton and M. Bradshaw do not herein at all differ, or crosse either other?
A42456We use to ask, who are blinder then they that wil not see?
A42456What more pregnant?
A42456Whether of the two do you credit?
A42456Which if he speak of the word merit, who wil, or can deny the truth of it?
A42456Who is he, that is careful to make diligent enquiry into the truth of things, who doth not oft alter his former opinion?
A42456Wotton published, truly related, or no?
A42456Yea but, how doth M. Walker, from what he either finds in M. Wotton, or fathers on him, extract a denial of Christs Deity?
A42456Yea take away all benefit of Exposition, and who almost may not be condemned of heresie and blasphemy?
A42456and was not M. Wotton the same?
A42456and why not also, x because I do alwaies those things, that are pleasing to him?
A42456and withall desired me to give mine opinion, whether that were not an error?
A42456and yet what is it, that M. Walker thence here alledgeth?
A42456at least why doth he not arraign and condemn him for an heretick as wel as M. Wotton?
A42456b Where at length shall we have him?
A42456but may very well be reconciled?
A42456d Ecquis innocens esse pote ● j ● ● si acousasse sufficiet?
A42456doth not the same word say, that k he was in favour, yea that l he grew in favour, both with God and man?
A42456for how did not he take upon him to determine what was heresie, when he charged M. Wotton with it?
A42456h Now where, saith he, is the infinite valew of Christs Deity, if he have need of justification and favour for himself?
A42456how cometh he then to say, They?
A42456or was it related only there; but pretended before at the meeting among our selves?
A42456or was not either of these for himself?
A42456u Is this matter of eating our Saviour such a pill to your understanding, that rather then disgest it, you will turne Turke or Infidel?
A42456was it pretended at the Table?
A42456was it the Doctor alone, that told all this faire tale, and pretended all this?
A42456would it thence follow that M. VVotton denies the Deity of Christ?
A42456yea or, that in those very words they speake the same thing?

A47798Do you believe less than you did, that there is Idolatry in the Church of Rome?

A47798How Prosecuted?
A47798How comes he to Press Vnity, and at the Same Time to raise[ Divisions?]
A47798If Not, Why does he tell the Dissenters that he is one?
A47798In the First Place, What is That Man''s Religion, that is of a Hundred and Fifty Religions, according to the Case here in Hand?
A47798Is it a Determinate, or an Vnlimited Liberty?
A47798Is not This a Gracious Church- of- England- Child now, to talk at This Rate of his own Mother?

A47798Why is it not Ascertain''d, that a Body may see Thorough it?
A47798Will you call these vain and empty Suspicions?

A41202And the People asked him, saying, what shall we do?
A41202And what distractions would it be to Peoples Callings?
A41202And wherefore?
A41202And who is Poor, sickly, tender, despised, mocked at, afflicted in body and mind, if Christs Followers be not?

A41202How much of our precious time is spent in vain jangling, by which our Heart can not but ● e made worse?
A41202How tedious would it be to hear every mans judgment to the point?
A41202Is it not a Feast of Fat things?
A41202Is not Christ perfect in all his House as well as Moses?
A41202Is not the Church a mixed multitude now, as well as then?
A41202Is not the Church now a feild of Wheat and Tares as well as then?
A41202Is there not need now to suppress sin as well as then?
A41202Is there not need to keep the Ordinances pure now, as then, by the fence of Government?
A41202Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing?
A41202Now from whence come these divisions contrary to the right Doctrine?
A41202Should it be according to thy mind?
A41202So Matth: 16. we see the Apostles practise, Christ sayes unto them, whom say they that I am?
A41202The down- bearing of Sin?
A41202The growth of Piety?
A41202There must be Heresies among you, And wherefore?
A41202Think ye that he will sit with it?
A41202Thirdly, By these Divisions ye may discover much evil in your spirit that was before undiscovered, what a deal of Pride, not enduring to be opposed?
A41202To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices unto me?
A41202Touch not, Taste not, Handle not; which all are to perish with the using after the Commandments and Doctrines of Men?

A41202Vnto the twelve( when many of his Disciples went back and walked no more with him) will ye also go away?
A41202What Carnal Emulation at the good of others?

A41202What then must he do?
A41202What violent Eruptions of unmortified nature, bending after courses unwarrantable for making of our Point good, except Grace did bear them down?
A41202Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the Rudiments of the World: Why as though living in the World, are ye subject to Ordinances?
A41202Whereupon v. 18. he breaks out, What then?
A41202are all Prophets?
A41202are all Teachers?
A41202how little Food is there in such like work for hungry exercised Souls?
A41202is there not as great need to separate betwixt the precious and the vile now, as then?
A41202— Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?
A45328& c. how shall they, whose mouthes, hearts, hands, are full of sin and filthiness, be admitted, or accepted under the Gospel?
A453287. Who goeth a Warfare at any time at his own Charges?
A453288. where he proves, that he doth not onely confirm his Position by humane Arguments and Examples, but by the Law of God also; Say I these as a man?
A45328?
A45328All things are common amongst friends?
A45328And does not this sad condition call for A ● istry of Reconciliation?
A45328And if the wise God thought this way the best to maintain his Ministers, who shall reprove him?
A45328And if they say, true men shall be taught of the Lord, but it shall be by the means of men, then why are not we as fit to teach as they?
A45328And so consequently what is the sust ● ntation, and nourishment of the body, to that of the soul?
A45328And what good commander is thers, but will encourage, vindicate, embolden, and reward his faithfull Souldiers in and for their faithfull service?
A45328Are these the fruits of so much patience and love?
A45328Are these the returns of so many incomes from above?
A45328As if he had said, can any one be delighted with meat that has not been seasoned with salt?
A45328Behold the salve?
A45328Behold the ● ore?
A45328Degenerate Ministers are hardly cured; for what remains with which they may be restored and seasoned?
A45328Do I fortifie my cause with humane reason and examples onely?
A45328Do not poor means make poor Ministers?
A45328Do we thus require the Lord, a people foolish and unwise?
A45328Do wretched and godlesse men deprive and defraud us of temporall rewards?

A45328Egyptians?
A45328For how can a man be more glorious, then by being made the glory of Christ?

A45328For what end?
A45328For what man will forsake, the plowmen, the Shepheards, the Stewards, which himself sets a work?
A45328For, VVho goeth to warre at his own charges?
A45328For, who almost would be so bold, as to tax the vices, or reprove the corrupt manners of those, from whom they received dayly gratuities?
A45328Hath not the poverty of Clergy- men begotten ignorance, and ignorance brought forth contempt?
A45328He fell on this face, and said, Art thou that my Lord Elisah?
A45328He was unwearied in his doing, and invincible in his su ● fering: How many Cities and Countreys did he enlighten with the Go ● pel?
A45328How can they be popish, which were paid thousands of years before any such beast as a Pope did spring up?
A45328How shall be teach well that lives ill; or season others, who is himself altogether unsavoury?
A45328How shall he spare the haters and despisers both of his Ministers and Ministry?
A45328How shall they preach except they be sent?
A45328If stipends be given to the bad, why not much rather to the good?
A45328If the false Apostles and Seducers, who devour you, receive things necessary, then, why may not we who propagate the Gospel of Christ?
A45328Is not God allwayes like himself?
A45328Is there no God, but in the still voice of your spirituall conceivements and Revelations now adayes?
A45328Is there no light in the Word of God?
A45328Let there be found out a more sufficient and certain and honourable maintenance, and who will contend for Tythes?
A45328Loe here the usefullnesse and necessity of a Gospell- Ministry?
A45328Now what is either more profitable or more pleasant than light?
A45328Oh that some Hercules will oppose himself to this many headed Monster?
A45328Or any thing please a judicious palate that is unseasoned?
A45328Or who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
A45328Or, saith not the ● aw the same also?
A45328Shall Clodius condemn Adulterie; Or Catiline Cethegus, worse then hee?
A45328Shall not the like causes produce the like effect?
A45328The Proposition is indefinite, and that is as large as an universal one, should live, but how?
A45328They that fear the hatred, or reproaches of the world, will ● oon faint, and flagge?
A45328Thou that abhorrest Idols, committest thou Sacriledge?
A45328Thou that abhorrest false Gods, doest thou rob the true one, which is worse?
A45328Thus give unto them double honour, that is, honour them fully and freely?
A45328To what purpose are all these Names, and honourable Titles, if there be no such Order, as Ministers, in the Church?
A45328VVhat is the cha ● ● e to the wheat?
A45328VVho goeth a warfare at his own charges?
A45328VVill a man rob God?
A45328What are false Prophecies to the truth of God?
A45328Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit of it?
A45328Who will teach them for nought?
A45328Why stand ye gazing up into heaven for new discoveries?
A45328and yet, if the beauty of their feet must have an admiration borrowed to express them, by what shall we express the beauty of their faces?
A45328eternal things excell fading, flitting, perishing, transitory vani ● ies?
A45328how could the beauty of them be exprest more fully, than by such an elegant particle of admiration?
A45328or, whether are your eyes out that ye can not receive it?
A45328they may drag any soul to hell with themselves: What weeds of Heresie do they plant?
A45328what more heavy doome shall they undergoe, that scorn, contemn, reproach the Ministers of Christ?
A45328what seeds of discord do they sowe?
A45328what stones of stumbling do they lay?
A25208A ● now, Dear Sir, what are your Thoughts?
A25208And for the other Expression; Christ''s undertaking answer for them the Obligations of the Law of Works: Is at left out too?
A25208And how long will that c ● ● tent you?
A25208And to what end does he thus needlesly multiply Terms of Art without any apparent necessity, that the Controversy has of''em?
A25208And what if these Words[ in our place and stead] do not with many now a days signify a Surrogation?
A25208Ay, but there is more at the Bottom what is that?
A25208Bu ● are we not brought to a sine pass?
A25208But did he never hear or read of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; a Gift and no Gift?
A25208But have these Modern Innovators usurp''d this Priviledge, to impose an heterodox Meaning upon sound Words?
A25208But to any Brother is really hard: For in what Sense must he interpret Brother?
A25208But to whom must he give this Satisfaction?
A25208But what will satisfy?
A25208But what would they have this poor Man do?
A25208But will you see with your own Eyes how these Gentlemen were satisfied, and how gladly they embraced the first Paper?
A25208By what Right do these Gentlemen impose such hard Terms of Union and Communion?
A25208Can the ● nemy any more sow his Tares in the Field amongst t ● good Grain?
A25208Do you think they can not give a false Construction of that too?
A25208Does it import that all Sinners are united, and are to be supposed, conceived, considered as one Person?
A25208For Socinus and Crellius, will grant there was such a Change of Persons; and what will they do now?
A25208How far must this Satisfaction extend?
A25208How far?
A25208I answer: ● ho can tell that, till they shall tell us, what a proper ● hange of Persons in a legal sense, does signify its own self?
A25208I think therefore we ought in the first place to inquire what they mean by the Person of Sinners?
A25208I would ask this modest Question: Where has this Doctrine of Justification been setled all this while, since the Reformation?
A25208In a Word therefore; The Socinians are Subtle, and have put a false Gloss upon Christ''s dying in our stead; shall we therefore discharge that Phrase?
A25208It is here then acknowledged, that these Word ● of Mr. Williams''s are sound and orthodox,; and wha ● would these unreasonable Men have him do?
A25208Mather?
A25208Must a Man stand in the Pillory all his Days, there to be palted with rotten Eggs, till they can find no more to throw at him?
A25208Now the Manuscript 〈 ◊ 〉 the Report answers:( 1) That our modern Innovators( does he mean them ● lves?)
A25208Now what is their parallel betwee ● this Suffect ● s Consul; and our blessed Lord Jesus, as surrgated and placed in the room of Sinners?
A25208Pray, Sir, inform me Quo Warranto?
A25208Quae unquam Latinitas sic Locuta est?
A25208Quid in Personâ Regis?
A25208Sin it self?
A25208Tell me freely, what do you think of that strange Spirit that runs through the whole of the Report, and Manuscript?
A25208That he was Personatus Histrio?
A25208Then again I beseech you t ● us what that is?
A25208To any thing else, excepted against in the rest of his Writings?
A25208Turn ye, turn ye; why will ye die?
A25208W ● is it I beseech you?
A25208Was ever a poor Creature thus tyed to a Stake to be baited by the English Molossi, and every whaffing Whelp that could bark, though not bite?
A25208We are Sin; and under a Curse: can you with a ● your Penetration, divine the Reason, why it''s said, w ● are Sin?
A25208What if cavilling and captious?
A25208What is it they expect Mr. Williams should give?
A25208What is ● e nice difference then between Christ''s answering for 〈 ◊ 〉 Violation of the Law, and answering for us the Viola ● on?
A25208What other Remedy ● ill you advise us to?
A25208What then can these Expressions signify, but that Christ wore the Mask, the Vizor, the Disguise of Sinners?
A25208Whether there be a Change of Person between Christ and the Elect?
A25208Whether therefore it be not equally a Duty to ● oviate the De ● estable Doctrines of the one as well as ● e other?
A25208Why does not he own a Change, and yet deny a Change?
A25208Will not the Brethren hereafter take mo ● care of taking and giving Offences?
A25208Will that content you which was co ● ● piled by the Assembly at Westminster?
A25208Will the A ● ● cle of Satisfaction as propounded by the Church of E ● ● land, please you?
A25208Will then that of the Brethren at 〈 ◊ 〉 Savoy satisfy you?
A25208Will they acquiesce?
A25208Will they n ● henceforth watch lest any Root of Bitterness shou ● spring up, and give''em Trouble?
A25208Yes; Hith ● what shall be hereafter, who can divine?
A25208again we are told, p. 7. of Christ''s sustaining the Person of Sinners: Now, good Sir, what is sustinere Personam alterius?
A25208and not a Word put in their Place, that peculiar to a proper Satisfaction?
A25208and so Christ died, suffered, satisfied for that one Person?
A25208and then qualify them with a sound Meaning?
A25208are not these to be reckon''d in the Number of the most Learned of that Party?
A25208ask him, if he means that Christ suffered in our stead as a Sacrifice to satisfy God''s Iustice?
A25208do they express any embracing of Communion with one another?
A25208dying in the Person of Sinners?
A25208has it hung, like Mahomet''s Tomb, in ● he Air?
A25208how can Mr. Williams help that?
A25208how shal ● he speak to please them?
A25208must he use heterodox Term ● and Phrases?
A25208or floated, like the Ark, upon the Water?
A25208since the purest Primo- Primitive Times?
A25208so have they put a false one upon Commutation of Persons; shall we therefore by the same Reason discharge that also?
A25208what a huge Opinion have these Men of ● he vast extent of their Intellectuals?
A25208what do you think of it?
A25208why do they not, why hav ● they not long since cleared it?
A25208why truly to any Brother?
A25208will they allow him to hold his Liberty of Writing by no other Tenure than than that of Villanage?
A25208yea, or between Christ and Believers?
A66431& c. If they did well, the Question is,( as it''s in the Discourse) On what Right that Oath is founded?
A66431& c. What can it be then less than Perjury and Apostacy to give any Countenance to such an open Violation of this Law?
A664312. Who shall be the Judg?
A664313. Who shall be the Judg?
A66431After this manner: For, had not God by his own Law setled the Government amongst them?
A66431And how would the People justifie their Separation with the Ministers, upon whom no such Obligations were laid, as on the Ministers?
A66431And may not all this be done, and the Fifth Commandment stand in its full force?
A66431And then the Question should be put, not who is the Judg, but whether there is any Judg?
A66431And then whether for the exercise of his Ministry, he may and is obliged to set up and maintain a separate Communion?
A66431And where was the Ecclesiastical Crime he was charg''d with?
A66431And will they interdict themselves its Communion, and break it in pieces, because they are thus injured, as they suppose?
A66431As now it will be asked, Wherein doth the Discourse misrepresent the case of the Jews?
A66431But are they Deprived by any Canons, or Canonical Censures of the Church?
A66431But how shall we know when it really is so, and when so in pretence?
A66431But to return to our Author, suppose the case be as he represents it, how comes this to necessitate a Schism with us?
A66431But to return to the Point, What, saith he, doth this want of being make a condition of Communion to us, quatenus Ministers?
A66431But where''s the Heresie?
A66431But who shall be the Judg, that is again, by way of Remedy?
A66431But why should that Author be obliged thus to have told us?
A66431Can a Prince take away what he can not give?
A66431For are those Diocesses and Clergy, who have their Bishops, equally involved in the same case with those that are deprived of theirs?
A66431For is he so obliged, that rather than not officiate, he may and ought to break off from Communion with the Church?
A66431For the Dispute is not, Whether an Oath be lawful or not?
A66431For what made Custom, Law and Constitution, but the Publick Good?
A66431For what reason would there have been for the Ministers Separation, if the Oaths had not been required of them?
A66431Grascome, Samuel, 1641- 1708?
A66431Had he any Right to the Empire?
A66431If in paying Tribute, why not in solemn promising to pay it?
A66431If that be the Consequence, what becomes of Nehemiah who served as Governour under Artaxerxes?
A66431Is it because these venerable Persons stand deprived?
A66431Is not the Deposition of a Bishop a Spiritual Censure?
A66431May Persons when grieved by the Secular Power, and deprived of their Livelihoods by an Act of Parliament, revenge it upon the Church?
A66431No Mean, but to let the Father cut the Throat of his Children, or that the Children must cut the Throat of their Father?
A66431Now I answer with Mason, Where was the Act of the Church, in the Deposition of Abiathar?
A66431Or why must it necessitate a Schism, when the Metropolitan and Bishops deprived, declare their Aversion to any such Separation?
A66431Or, did not the Senate and People swear to him at last, though he was in the Throne before, and a notorious Usurper of it?
A66431Or, did they notwithstanding, not submit to Alexander, and enter into his Service, and transfer their Allegiance to him?
A66431Or, who shall judg what''s fit to de done in such a case, by way of Remedy?
A66431This is a tender Point, and what he durst not touch upon: For grant that they had cause to separate, yet what would they do without a People?
A66431Though there be this obligation laid upon Ministers, yet what is this Political Security required of them, to their Communion with the Church?
A66431Thus far then we may go, we may swear to pay Tribute; but on what account?
A66431To the second, he gives a spiteful return: But is then a Case of Conscience really so trivial a thing?
A66431Vn Bishop and Vn- Priest men?
A66431Was it that Darius was any other than a de factó King over them?
A66431What is the publick Good?
A66431What is this publick Good?
A66431What now becomes of Succession?
A66431What of Jaddus and the Jews of his time with their Oath of Fidelity to Darius?
A66431What thinks he of the Oath of Jaddus to Darius, when yet he went over to Alexander?
A66431What thinks he of the Obligation to the Senate, as to the present Case?
A66431Where again doth the Discourse misrepresent the Case of Tiberius?
A66431Whether Ordination obliges such an one to the actual exercise of his Office, when forbid by the Magistrate?
A66431Whether a Refusal to give Security to the Secular Power for a peaceable behaviour, and Obedience, by Oath, may not be a sufficient reason?
A66431Whether there be any reason for those Scruples about the Oaths?
A66431Who would not pity this Writer of Controversy that can not see into the Connexion of an Argument for ten lines backward or forward?
A66431Why must this necessitate a Schism to all?
A66431as a Duty owing on the account of Protection?
A66431but, Whether this present Oath be so?
A66431how therefore can it be ascribed to Secular Powers?
A66431in calling God to witness that I do it?
A66431or had he at first any other Title than from the Pretorian Band and Legions?
A66431or that they did not swear Allegiance to him as long as he lived?
A66431that is, Either who shall Judg when the Publick Good is invaded, and when the Laws, Customs and Constitutions, are violated?
A66431where are any of all these Crimes, for which these our Bishops merit Deposition; or what just Censure of the Church hath pass''d upon them?
A65867( George) Do we not wear our Cl ● thes on our Bodies?
A658671, 8. this was God''s own Testimony of him to Satan; to which Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
A65867Again, some object, That God hath Mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardneth; Hath not the Potter power over the Clay?
A65867And as for his having power over the works of his hands, as the Potter hath over the Clay; who questions that?
A65867And asked these Priests, what Baptism it was?
A65867And the Lord said unto Cain, why art thou wroth?
A65867And then his last Question was, Whether the Lords Supper be not an Ordinance of Christ, binding us?
A65867And whatsoever may be known of God, is it not manifest within?
A65867And, oh Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayst be saved; how long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
A65867Are you like to receive his teachings in the darkness?
A65867But, we pray you, how should you know and receive Gods teachings or leading into all Truth, if not by his Light within?
A65867Hear, O House of Israel, Is not my Way equal?
A65867Moreover, to these Questions before S. S. added three more; as in the first place, Whether the Scriptures are not to be our Rule of Life?
A65867Query, Whether or no wilt thou grant the same thing that S. Scandret hath done; viz ▪ that a Light of the Spirit of God is in every man?
A65867Reply, Did you ever read or hear such Doctrine before?
A65867Reply, Was not its appearance Spiritual, how then did it appear to all, and not in all?
A65867Reply, What then did he hate Esau for?
A65867S. S. A justified state is attended with Sanctification; what Righteousness is that which justifies?
A65867S. S. Did not God require more of Adam then the Light did dictate?
A65867S. S. This doth not prove that the Light doth reveal Christ; Is this Grace( that hath appeared to all) the Light in every man?
A65867S. S. This is not a full Light,& c. for God created the Stars, which are a Light; Must they therefore be the full Light of the Day& c?
A65867S. S. Who affirms they are?
A65867Secondly, Whether Perfection be attainable in this life?
A65867So that here the Light is the Rule to manifest and try mens actions, whether they are wrought in God, yes or nay?
A65867Thirdly, Whether impure persons( while such) be justified by the imputation of Christ''s Righteousness?
A65867V. Now concerning Justification, the question being asked, what it is?
A65867Was not the Spirit, the Law and Light of the Lord within?
A65867Was not their Rule within, and the Revelation of the things contained in Scripture inward, before they were written?
A65867We will appeal to the people, whether any of them can say, when they are reproved of sin, that they are not convinced of a contrary sta ● e?
A65867What then will become of all them that never came under it: Must they all be damned for want of Sprinkling or Plunging in Water?
A65867Whether Baptism with water be an Ordinance of Christ?
A65867Who would come over the threshold to Discourse with such a one?
A65867Wo unto him that sayeth unto his Father, what begettest thou,& c?
A65867and what do they tend to?
A65867and what is the good end of God in affording this Light of his Spirit to all, and such operations in unbelievers?
A65867and whether the Day dawning, and the Day- Star arising in the hearts be the Scriptures?
A65867and why is thy Countenance faln?
A65867are not your wayes unequal?
A65867but how long it is between death and this time of clensing?
A65867but must not the Body be subject to the Spirit, seeing Believers are to be sanctified throughout, in Body, Soul and Spirit?
A65867for when G. W. in a Letter would have put him to prove his call to the Ministry; and whether he own''d immediate Revelation in these dayes?
A65867hast not thou made an Hedge about him,& c?
A65867if thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted?
A65867is he not among them that searched the Scriptures to find Eternal Life in them, but would not come to Christ that they might have Life?
A65867is not this like the Pope''s Doctrine for a Purgatory?
A65867must they pin it upon their sleeves?
A65867must they turn their backs on the Light of Christ within, to be captivated with the Popes and Priests darkness, with their dark and implicite faith?
A65867or by turning your backs on the Light?
A65867or that his Commands should be made void?
A65867or whether he were a true administrator of it?
A65867or whether or no professed Christians in England must be inferiour to the Gentiles or Heathen?
A65867or whether the Saints deceased are yet clensed, yes or nay?
A65867or will you deny it?
A65867were it not an impertinent vain thing, to warn persons of such a danger, if they were absolutely secured from being liable to any such danger?
A65867were they not from the Light within?
A65867what, doth he render man like a Block, or a Beast, not to go or act in obedience or subjection, but as he is forc''d or driven?
A65867whether that of Water, or the Baptism of the Spirit?
A65867which he affirmed, though he durst not tell us whether Babes or Believers were to be the Subjects of it?
A6267513. where it''s said, Rulers are not a Terror to good Works, but to the Evil: Wilt thou not be afraid of the Powers?
A62675And are they not in one half of Germany Papists, in the other Protestants?
A62675And have not the Priests of the different Parties, as occasion served, enlarged their Pretences?
A62675And have they not done this, by granting a Toleration, and by refusing a Bill for restraining the Liberty of the Press?
A62675And if so great a Person could be so easily wrought on, who can be secure when he lieth under constant Temptations?
A62675And would not he be justly enraged at his return to see them, for doing this, beaten and abused by their Fellow- Subjects?
A62675Are they not in Italy, and in all the Dominions of Spain, zealous and thorow Roman- Catholicks?
A62675But here I must demand, Who shall judg whether what the Clergy thus determine, be either adding, changing, or diminishing the Law of God?
A62675But how can Force, in the Hands of Men as liable to be mistaken as those they use it on, contribute to hinder Mens falling into Error?
A62675But how can the Magistrate, by becoming subject to Christ''s Laws, have a Right to oblige his Subjects to act directly against them?
A62675But how could he oppose it otherwise than by not calling them to sit and act, which our Author says by his Coronation- Oath he is bound to do?
A62675But how shall we judg and try?
A62675But what Right of his Neighbour''s does any Man invade?
A62675But what is more opposite to these, than to tempt Men to make themselves miserable hereafter, to avoid being so here?
A62675But where will not some Mens Spleen and Revenge carry them?
A62675But where will the Magistrate, using Force, prevent Errors?
A62675For either they must continue all their Lives under Persecution,( which who can support?)
A62675If he dares not say he will prostitute his Belief at so vile a Rate, Why should he suppose others either should or would do so?
A62675If the first, why are there so many of the Erroneous exempted even from the least Punishment?
A62675If the last, why are not all exempted?
A62675If they own they ought to hear them, why not the opposite Side?
A62675In Denmark and Sweedland Lutherans, in the Alps Calvinists,& c.?
A62675In France Catholicks, tho with reserve to the Liberties of the Gallican Church, and the Regalities?
A62675In a word; Can Men oppress, ruin and kill for God''s sake, and destroy all moral Honesty on pretence of Religion?
A62675Or rather are they not whatever that absolute King will have them to be, as we see by their acting with the See of Rome?
A62675The Author demands, Why are the Clergy called to a Convocation, if when they come they are not to act?
A62675The next Age will not believe a Religion revealed by Heaven, except the Convocation make such a Declaration?
A62675Therefore may it not be feared, that instead of the French King being made an Example of God''s Anger, he may be made an Instrument to punish others?
A62675To which I answer, That bare differences of Opinions do not cause them; for what two Men, even of the same Communion, agree in all Points of Divinity?
A62675What can be more absurd, than that in judging of these matters wherein we differ from Brutes, we should be subject to brutal Force?
A62675Who was more ready to lay down his Life for our Saviour, than St. Peter?
A62675Why may not I go, if occasion requires, to an Arian Church, so there be no Arianism expressed in their Liturgy?
A62675must he not at last come to capital Punishments, except he will see God continually dishonoured?
A62675not only of the present, but of succeeding Generations?
A62675or what Injury or Injustice does he do him, in worshipping God according to that Method he judgeth best for the saving his own Soul?
A62675so that here''s no room for Clemency: For how can the Life of a Man counterpoise the loss of a Soul?
A3062410. a Qui estis vos& unde venissis?
A30624A Pandora''s Box, from whence all sorts of mischievous and foul poysoning Opinions may fly out, and that without Remedy?
A30624Alas, will God leave us also, even to the Obdurateness of Pharaoh?
A30624And did no Body knew wherein it did consist?
A30624And did none of them discover what it was?
A30624And do we not feel it?
A30624And hath any just cause been given you of breaking off your selves from it?
A30624And if this seems decent and respectful, Offer the like to your Governour: Will he be pleased with it, or accept your Persons?
A30624And if ye offer the Lame and Sick, is it not Evil?
A30624And might these be Innocent all the while?
A30624And must it not be pernicious to Christ''s Visible Kingdom?
A30624And now the Question is, Whether the Supream, or Inferiour Presbyters, Ordained Timothy?
A30624And says the same Apostle, The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ?
A30624And since the last are not excluded, the Question is, Whether this justifies your Separation?
A30624And that they hear him with Heart- rising Enmity, or Suspicion, that doth declaim against them?
A30624And what shall he be esteem''d, who intrudes himself into the highest Trust that any Creature is capable of, in the Name of Christ?
A30624And who gave thee this Authority?
A30624And would you see the open Enemies of Religion, forced into their lurking holes, or flying into their Retreats of Darkness?
A30624And, according to their own Principles, they may fitly speak to You, in these Words of Elijah; How long halt ye between two Opinions?
A30624Are the Scriptures so plain in their Directions about things that are necessary either to be done or avoided?
A30624Are they not broken into many Sects?
A30624Are they not ready to devour one another?
A30624Are you not Self- condemn''d by such contrary Practices?
A30624But can you really believe, that one would do you wrong, if he made a small Rent in your Garment, and none if he should tear it in pieces?
A30624But do you find any such Language, or any such thing in Scripture?
A30624But if this be admitted, doth it at all mend the matter?
A30624But if you would lay down your Life for Christ, wherefore do ye lay waste the Church for which Christ died?
A30624But is Schism a Sin?
A30624But is there any Precept for this in Scripture?
A30624But were all Apostles, or Bishops?
A30624But what Affinity is there between Schism and Immorality, or how is the last of these a Consequence of the former?
A30624But what hath the Law done for the Scrupulous?
A30624Can a Member live that is cut off from the Body, or a Branch that is separated from the Tree?
A30624Can any Man forbid them to partake of the Lord''s Supper, when their demand of it is regular?
A30624Can they imagine that Christ is with them, when they are Assembled out of his Church?
A30624Can you imagine that mere Presbyters can Ordain an Evangelist, whose Office was so much Exalted above their own?
A30624Can you imagine, that a Mutiny begun in a Camp, or Kingdom, is Seditious; and that an open Revolt is not so?

A30624Did the Ancient Fathers speak such terrible things against it, and none of them understand what they said?
A30624Did they make no doubt to lay it to the Charge of the Novations and Donatists?
A30624Do not ye see, how all the Affairs of the Christians are fill''d with Vain- glory?
A30624Do we not know it?
A30624Doth he say, That their Constitution was dissolv''d, and they were no longer a Church?
A30624For if that be so, why are they not with us?
A30624For instance, Are they here admitted to Visible Communion in Publick Acts of Worship?
A30624For tell me, I pray you, wherefore would you suffer Martyrdom?
A30624For what end was it that they must receive one another?
A30624From which of the Heavens was he dropt?
A30624How Ambition and Deceit dwell amongst them?
A30624How pathetick, how moving is his Language here?
A30624If they upbraid us with Heresies, what will they not speak of these things?
A30624If ye offer the Blind for Sacrifice, is it not Evil?
A30624If you please to consult your Teachers, and demand of them, Whether you may: not return to us?
A30624If, say they, these Men have the same Opinions; if they have the same Mysteries, why does one thus leap into the place of another?
A30624Is it a thing, even in the Confession of Dr. Owen himself, That being unrepented of, will ruine a Man''s Eternal c Condition?
A30624Is it not an Idol?
A30624Is it not for the Glory of Christ?
A30624Is it to us, even to us a Crime intolerable, to call us to Repentance?
A30624Is not this a plain Breach of the Apostolical Rule?

A30624O what a Mercy is it for every Christian, that is unable to help himself, to have the help of all the Church of God?
A30624Offer it now to thy Governour, will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy Person?
A30624Or can the Divisions which you have made proceed from that One Spirit, whose Unity is to be kept in the Bond of Peace?
A30624Or can ye be ignorant that they also perished that were with them?
A30624Or doth he say, That the better part should desert the worse, and make up a Church by themselves, consisting only of Visible Saints?
A30624Or if none can be found, is it not against the Second Commandment?

A30624Were all Christians careful to avoid it under the Peril of their Souls?
A30624Were all Pastors and Teachers?
A30624What Example have they for it, either in Scripture, or out of Scripture, in any part of the Catholick Church?
A30624What Right can you then have to establish Independent Congregations, or to set up one Congregation against another, in the same City?
A30624What Sacrifices do they believe, they offer, when they contend with the Priests?
A30624What profit is there of other things, if due care be not taken for This?
A30624Where is their Mutual Love, and the promised Peace?
A30624Where is their Unanimity and Harmony of Affections?
A30624Wherefore then do you say their Faith is the same with ours, and they are Orthodox?
A30624Which Opinion then shall I prefer?
A30624Which shall I chuse?
A30624Who ever saw, or read, says Salmasius, a that they who were to have Extraordinary Power, were delegated by those who had no more than Ordinary?
A30624Why was Titus left in Crete, to appoint Elders in every City?
A30624Would such a Practice be tolerable any where?
A30624Would you blast the Honour of our English Reformation, and give Pros ● lytes to the Church of Rome?
A30624Would you bring the Kingdom of Christ to Desolation, or are you willing to see the Ruine of his House?
A30624Would you do what is highly beneficial to others, as well as Glorious and Happy for your selves?
A30624Would you help to stem the Torrent of Profaneness, and drive it backwards?
A30624Would you hinder the Unbelieving World from receiving the Gospel, or would you harden them in their Insidelity?
A30624Would you hinder the progress of Error, or do what is proper to stop the Mouths of its Advocates?
A30624Would you keep open a free passage for all Iniquity, and encourage Vice to appear abroad in great Pomp, without Shame, or Fear?
A30624Yet if it were every way Pure and Apostolical, and the very same with that of the Conformists, Can this be a reason for your Desertion of them?
A30624Yet let us suppose that you have amongst you better Praying and Preaching; Is there any thing wanting with us that is necessary to Salvation?

A30624by W. R. c. 12. a De qua terra germinavit?
A179125. Who are those Ecclesiasticall Officers, in the Church of England, which neither in name, nor in deed, are true, as he himself confesseth?
A17912And are not those great and weighty things in question still?
A17912And doth not this I pray ye soeme to be an honest way to get a Church- living, no such base and beggarly one, as you speake of?
A17912And hence inferres separation, now what saith D. Ames to this?
A17912And is not this a ground of separation?
A17912And then turning to me, how durst you( said he) preach in my diocesse without my leave?
A17912And why so?
A17912And why?
A17912Another saith: What Christian heart is so stony, that doth not mourne?
A17912Are the Princes of the earth bound by Gods Lawes to mainetaine the ordinary ministery of your assemblies?
A17912Are we so grosse when we say, Behold our Gods, as to think that they brought vs out of Egypt?
A17912Besides, whome doe they take for greater enemies, then the Separatists?
A17912But are they onely thus beggerlike in their ambitious suing for theyr promotions?
A17912But he asketh, how we can prove, that these things are taught in their Churches?
A17912But is not this currying of favour meere beggary?
A17912But the Proverbe is here true, who so blind as he that will not see?
A17912But to our purpose: If things be so, is not the ministery then of such men to be left?
A17912But to the point in hand, is not here witt, to dispute by ifs& thoughs?

A17912Doe wee not sufficiently finde it to bee true in experience?
A17912Ephraim is joyned to idols, what were they?
A17912For what if some have as much permission under the Papacie, is not their ministery then of Prelacy, Priesthood and Deaconry?
A17912Have not some in the Church of Rome dispensations to have more cures then one?
A17912He may thus say: If I be hungry I would not tel thee, that is, what need I thee, or any thing thou canst doe?
A17912How is this answered?
A17912How vnmeet is it that fleshly wisedome which is an enimie vnto God, should be a framer of his worship?
A17912I may say to you, as David to the men of Iudah: Why are ye the last to bring home the King?
A17912I will leave it in this place as a Quaere, Whether such as neither are, nor by law are bound to be such, are true Pastors or no?
A17912If not, whether they be Apostles, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Elders?
A17912If the true worship of God be prescribed, in the booke aforesaid, we demaund then in what part thereof the same is contained?
A17912If these things be right why not the rest?
A17912If they bring not a lawfull warrant of their calling, why should they be obeyed?
A17912If they have, whether the thing be lawfull or no?
A17912If this manner of arguing be good, what corruptions so abominable but may get contenance?
A17912If you doe damne it as scandalous, or idolatrous, Why communicate you with bim?
A17912If you say, what shall we doe for the hundred talents?
A17912In the late Parliament, lawes were enacted severely against it; but what came of that?
A17912Is it any whit a lesse ● ilt ● sy thing, to come to a Rectory, that is of Gods appointmēt, by favour, then by money?
A17912Is not the whole land holy?
A17912Is not this yea and nay?
A17912Now I desire these seriouslie to consider, if they may lawfullie performe some religious duties against Human Lawes, why not others?
A17912The like is the condition of Prebendaries, Archdeacons and Deanes, Nay are the Lord Bishops themselves cleare of this base beggery?
A17912Their ministers have such ordinary ministeriall offices,& c. Why?
A17912There are many hundred Priests in the Land, which have no particular places to serve in: Is their ministery therefore unlawfull?
A17912Therefore it is no marvaile, when the question hath been propounded to some of them, as it was by the Pharises, to Iohn, Who art thou?
A17912Were there not Cherubines in the Tabernacle and Temple, and twelve Oxen or Buls of brasse appointed by the wisest King?
A17912What are those parts and parcells, in the booke of Common prayer, which is not the true worship of God, whereof he speaketh?
A17912What be those Ecclesiastical Officers, which some true Churches in England, have these many yeares beene without, either all, o ● cheifest of them?
A17912What if their Priests be not in all points answerable to their lawes, are they then members of a false Church?
A17912What in all this was signifyed?
A17912What is the true intent and meaning of these Lawes, and to whom doth it properly belong, to give the interpretation of them?
A17912What meaneth then that continuall haunting of the Court, and banging vpon the Nobles?
A17912What testimonie brings he for it?
A17912What then, might not he therefore conclude any thing generally against the unlawfullnesse of their ministry?
A17912What, if one hold, that the ministers of our particular congregations, are Pastors?
A17912What, if one hold, they are not Pastors, but named only so, metaphorically, as Princes are so called?
A17912When Moyses stood crying at the red sea, what saith God unto him?
A17912Whether all the Parish Assemblies of England be true visible Churches or no?
A17912Whether it be Lawfull, to have communion with the English Leiturgie, as it is ordinarily now used in their Churches?
A17912Whether the office of Lecturers in the Ecclesiastical Assemblies of England, be not new, and strange from the scriptures?
A17912Why doe they not stay and wayte, till they bee sent for?
A17912Yea why are they not rather pulled away from their studyes against their wills?
A17912Yes surely; now doe these speciall dispensations make the action lawfull?
A17912among other, the new Preists which Ieroboam, ordained for the high places: what followes?
A17912and lastly whether it were possible for a man to live so vprightlie, that by well doeing he might win heaven?
A17912doe these make all the rest holie?

A17912how sinne came into the world?

A17912what punishment for sinne?
A69802Again, I had said, What were those Offices which you call erroneously Religious, were they Fasting and Prayers?
A69802Again, there might be 50 Hearers, and for ought I know, 500 Hearers and Seers at one time or other: Must these be all Dissenters, and Accessaries?
A69802Again, you are about it, and about it; and say, Hark my Friend, are not your Divisions Unchristian?
A69802Altho'', Upon the severest Examination, as to his Morals, P. 11. of the Letter, Would he Accuse Himself?
A69802Am I a Blasphemer?
A69802Am I now bewildred?
A69802And cast out Christ?
A69802And is not their Missal and Breviary Idolatrous Worship?
A69802And it was Queried; Where are you commanded, to Bow to the East?
A69802And must not the words still have the same sence?
A69802And now Dissenters say, the Cross is such a Humane Appointment; and how do you answer this?
A69802And now Gentlemen, without Favour or Affection, Give in your Verdict, VVhether am I, or my Accuser, more Guilty of Blasphemy?
A69802And what Contradiction in Terms, if they be called Humane Sacraments?
A69802And what do you say?
A69802And what is here to be Blamed, or what was here done tending to Popery?
A69802And what of all this?
A69802And what say you to this?
A69802And what then?
A69802And what then?
A69802And when all''s done, how can you tell here was no Devil in the Case?
A69802And where is their Fault?
A69802And whose Tools were they?
A69802Are they to be Blamed for their Fasting and Praying?
A69802But are you not to blame, to call a Man a Thief, tho you bring no Instances; and the more faulty, if you can find none?
A69802But did he Live quietly when he was a Dissenter, without Censure for his Sin?
A69802But farther you say, Was not thus Praying for him, the best means to reclaim him from his false Worship?
A69802But is this fair, to admit a Man to be Witness in his own Cause?
A69802But pray''Friend what''s that to me, that Jews and Pagans blasphemously call Christ a Daemon; or the Worshipping of Christ, the Worshipping of Devils?
A69802But pray''what are the other Five, which the Papists add?
A69802But they Fasted and Pray''d, or Preach ● d, and what hurt in this?
A69802But was this the best Means?
A69802But what do they attest?
A69802But what say you to this Scruple of Dissenters?
A69802But what''s that to Dissenters?
A69802But what''s this to their Argument?
A69802But why did you ask this Question?
A69802But, Am I become your Enemy, because I tell you the truth?
A69802Did I ever call Christ a Daemon?
A69802Did he not Preach at N. Chappel?
A69802Did not David worship God acceptably on a Barn- Floor?
A69802Did they use Popish Exorcisms, or Popish Ceremonies?
A69802Do not your Conventicles make a Division?
A69802Do they not worship God,& c. And was not this that True Worship we prayed God to keep him in?
A69802Do you think that Jews and Pagans did rightly call Christ a Daemon?
A69802Do you think this of yours, was the Sence of the first Composers of this Petition; that it might be Prayed for a Popish K. or Q?
A69802Doth it not hence follow, that here was no Devil?
A69802Doth not the Church of Rome Worship by their Breviary and Mass- Book, as the C. of E. by their Common Prayer, which they call Divine Service?
A69802Doth this look like casting out the Devil?
A69802Else, what a Gap would this open to an Inundation of Heathenish and Popish Rites, in the Worship of GOD, and all the Offices therein?
A69802Farther, doth not he transgress a Rule or Canon, that goes beyond what''s commanded, as he that comes short?
A69802For which you say, I have the Impertinence to ask, What Errours in Doctrine, looking that Way?
A69802For why not Salt, Spittle, and Cream, and Chrisom in Baptism?
A69802Friend, what''s this Cramp Question?
A69802Good Sir, is the Worship of God any worse, because in a Barn?
A69802How are they assisting?
A69802However, doth Recriminating Justify him?
A69802I could also ask you Questions; but why should we trouble our selves and others, with asking and answering impertinent Questions?
A69802I endeavoured to Clear them from Sinful, Schismatical Divisions: And what say you to it?
A69802I will yet tell you for once, seeing you ask it, Whether Fearing of Christ, may not be expounded by Jews and Pagans, Worshipping of Devils?
A69802If it was not, to what end was it produced?
A69802Is it Malice, who gave thee Authority to Judge Mens Hearts?
A69802Is not one Reason, because they are but of Humane Institution?
A69802Is the Pope a Papist?
A69802Is there no Word in all your Book, nor one Place to prove the Charge?
A69802Is this Satisfaction?
A69802Let''s see then what the next Letter will do, for this is Small Game?
A69802More than Matter?
A69802Mr. T. Why may not I, betwixt you and me, call the Cross a Humane Sacrament?
A69802Mr. T. are you here in earnest?
A69802Nay Christ himself will come under Correction of Jews and Pagans, and Mr. T. for he cast out a Daemon: Did he cast out Himself?
A69802Now Mr. T. are these things Signs of Repentance, and of an humble and broken Spirit?
A69802Now Mr. T. if you did not reflect upon the Party, what means th ● se Expressions?
A69802Now for this time, rather than fall out with you, I''ll answer you, The Papists do receive Wine in that Sacrament, unless the Priests be no Papists?
A69802Now how do you shew this?
A69802Now how should Dissenters please some Fools?
A69802Now what say you now?
A69802Or is this one of his Names?
A69802Party importuning for him or Grey?
A69802Pray''Mr. T. When was the Time, where was the Place, who was the Person, to whom I deny''d my Christian Name?
A69802Pray''Sir, what is false?
A69802Pray''Sir, will you tell me one thing; What''s that?
A69802Pray''tell me,( this is mannerly) what you call them, that make God to be content with whatever comes next their Tongues- end?
A69802Therefore, if you will, call it a Humane Appointment; and then, Is it lawful for any body to command things in the Worship of God, of the same nature?
A69802To this you say, Is Popery such a mass of Idolatry, that there is no piece of true Worship in it?
A69802To this you say, My Friend is bewildred,& c. and you ask me a very important Question, Do the Papists receive Wine in that Sacrament?
A69802VVhat, have no Fellowship with Daemons?
A69802VVhy Christ is a Daemon, and must we not have Fellowship with him?
A69802VVould not this be an odd way to convert a Papist, by praying thus with him, and for him?
A69802Was not this liker to harden him in his false Worship?
A69802Was there not a Cause, was not the Crime open, notorious, scandalous; and yet no Matter?
A69802Was this ingenuous?
A69802Were your Publick Prayers then for him, Superstition?
A69802What Impudence is this?
A69802What are they to be Blamed for?
A69802What is Crossing good for?
A69802What say you to this Argument of Dissenters?
A69802What, compare your self with Christ and his Apostles?
A69802Where commanded to stand up at Te DEUM, Benedictus, Magnificat; or at Reading of Psalms?
A69802Whereupon the K. sends his Armour to the Pope, and ordered this Question to be asked, Is this thy Son''s Coat?
A69802Why not Crossing upon Crossing in all Parts of Divine Worship?
A69802Why will you not admit them to be Sacraments?
A69802Will this Supposition, which is not then true, make your Prayers Superstition?
A69802Would not this be accounted a Crime of an high nature?
A69802Would you not have Men to worship Daemons?
A69802and Conformity, And what then?
A69802and bouncing and racketing, Priest one Verse, and People another?
A69802and strengthen them in the true worshipping?
A69802and what signifies your Authorities?
A69802if it be true; and is this all?
A69802is this for Edification?
A69802offer to cast a Daemon out of Dicky?
A69802or before the Altar to make Curt''sies?
A69802what''s all this to the Matter in Hand?
A776421. how shall he judge those whom he never purchased with a price?
A7764217. of whom I demand what they think if David had dyed in the act of Adultery, or before his repentance?
A7764220. how much more they that despise the counsell of God and murmure against him?
A7764231. as the Apostles collection, and the result of all which he had spoken in the precedent part of the chapter, what shall we say then?
A776424. Who then is excluded from the call of God, and to whom hath not his light shined?
A776424. that God had not give them eyes to see, a heart to perceive, and ears to hear, unto this day?
A776424. where the Lord enquires, What could have been done more to his Vineyard which he had not done for it?
A77642And if any shall ask how men come to commit sin then?
A77642And whereas it may be demanded, How it comes to pass that all serve not God in holiness?
A77642But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousnesse, have not attained to the Law of righteousnesse; wherefore?
A77642But can not men be left without excuse without the preaching of this Doctrine to them?
A77642But can the grace of God be said to be free, when there is a condition of something to be done by us for the obtaining of it?
A77642But is it not said that God did hate Esau and loved Jacob, before they had done either good or evill?
A77642But some( it may be) will say, If Christ hath saved all men from the grave, how comes it to pass that any dye?
A77642But that being true( as indeed it is) how can infants be visible Church- members?
A77642But the great question is, Whether the creatures obedience foreknown, did move God to give him eternal life?
A77642But were not these things prophesied of?
A77642But yet, say some, did not he bid Shimei curse David?
A77642But( say some) what if it were the pleasure of God to make a thousand worlds, and to destroy them all?
A77642But( will some say) doth God invite all men, and offer grace to all men really and in good earnest?
A77642But, may some say, is he so the Saviour of all men, that none shall be damn''d in the second death?
A77642Can there be any possibility that they should believe, for whom Christ meirteth not faith, seeing all that do believe had faith merited for them?
A77642Christ foreknew( and so did the Father) that Judas would betray Jesus; doth it follow that God appointed Judas hereunto?
A77642Did the Spirit of the Lord ever say that Christ dyed not for all, or that he dyed but for some?
A77642Doth God command men to hear?
A77642Doth he command men to see, consider, and understand?
A77642First, I ask, What was it that the hand and counsel of the Lord determin''d to be done or brought to pass?
A77642First, Whether every Man and Woman have not ability to act something?
A77642For, first, I querie, Whether unbelief and disobedience be simply sins?
A77642How comes it to pass then that all do not walk up to that light which God hath manifested to them, believing and obeying the truth?
A77642I answer, first, by a Querie, Whether we shall be judged by the Word as it speaks, or as men say it means?
A77642I demand whether he doth acquire them to serve him, or profess his service really or seemingly?
A77642I grant it: but will any be so void of reason as to say, therefore he appointed it, and chose out or ordained one man to Adultery, another to Murther?
A77642If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?
A77642In a word, what Nation was there, to whom he sent not his Messengers?
A77642Is it not most evident that all were sanctified by the blood of Christ?
A77642Is it not said, To you it is given on the behalf of Christ not onely to believe, but also to suffer for his sake?
A77642Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened?
A77642It must of necessity also be the root of a dead faith, for what life can that faith have, which is grounded upon our own qualifications?
A77642Let all the nations be gathered together, let all the people be assembled; who amongst them can declare this, and shew us former things?
A77642Now I would know whether they were appointed to be obedient or disobedient?
A77642Now what account did he make of man?
A77642Object But is it not sayd, Come, buy,& c. without money and without price?
A77642Oh where was the wisdome of that poor creature who restrained and limited Scripture- Redemption?
A77642Secondly, Whether that power or ability be not from God alone through Christ?
A77642Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?
A77642Shall there be evill in the City, and the Lord hath not done it?
A77642That the Devil put in the heart of Iudas to betray Iesus?
A77642That they were appointed to be disobedient?
A77642Then what have you to do to say that he is so to others?
A77642Thirdly, Whether God did indue them with that ability to do well, or to do ill, or to do nothing?
A77642Thou art not excluded by name, and why shouldst thou exclude thy self through unbeliefe?
A77642What is man, that thou takest knowledge of him; or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
A77642What is that to thee?
A77642What shall they do that have not the Scriptures?
A77642What then?
A77642Where is the distinguishing love of God, if Christ dyed for all?
A77642Why will ye spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
A77642and how comes it to pass that some do believe and obey, and others do not?
A77642are these his doings?
A77642did he think that his bare word is a sufficient warrant for us to believe by?
A77642disswade any man from an evill way be this doctrine?
A77642eng Troughton, William, 1614?-1677?
A77642even they that trod it under foot, and flight it, and despise the Spirit of grace, and Son of God?
A77642how they can be so unkind to their Saviour, and to tread him under foot that bought and sanctified them with his dearest heart- blood?
A77642is there any Scripture from the beginning of Genesis to the end of the Revelation that speaks thus?
A77642or are there any more sorts of men and women, but such as obey the Spirit, and such as resist it?
A77642produce them?
A77642reprove them for being so?
A77642shall we think that he that reproves men for judging another mans servant, will allow that which he condemns?
A77642shew wherein, as I desired him, being then present?
A77642to the word, or to disobedience?
A77642what profession of the Faith of Christ can they make, and what good or evil can they do?
A77642would Christ ever have been grieved for the hardnesse of the Jewes hearts, had he not laid down his life for them?
A77642yea how can their sin be of themselves, if God appointed them to be disobedient?
A69536And are not the Souls of such as you call humorous, peevish, or wilful, worth more than some of that which you call your Liberty?
A69536And did the fear of bringing Persecution on others hinder them?
A69536And did they forbear for fear of bringing Persecution on Dissenters?
A69536And hath the Protestant Religion been secured and advantaged by our usage?
A69536And if so, is it no subordinate obedience that is due to Parents and other Superiors?
A69536And if the Question be, Whether this be formal Obedience, or only material?
A69536And if to save such an one you would not so much as deny any of your liberty for him, what would you do for him at all?
A69536And is not this a Natural Common Duty?
A69536And must we not labour hard, and suffer much, for to win such Souls?
A69536And must you have Lordships, great maintenance, reverence, honour, and obedience, for needless preaching?
A69536And should not the Soul of a Sinner be as compassionately saved by us as his Body, as far as we are able, and at as dear a rate?
A69536And that when the Fire consumed the Churches, and when in many Parishes the tenth part of the People have no Church to go to?
A69536And we are commanded to pray, Forgive our enemies, persecutors, and slanderers, and turn their hearts: And must we pray, and not endeavour?
A69536And we would ask them, Whether they live not themselves in the practice of the contrary?
A69536And whether so to do would deserve honour and preferment, and to do otherwise be a Crime that deserveth silencing, and ruine?
A69536Are not Souls more worth than Bodies?
A69536Are they not worth more than a Pipe of Tobacco, or a Cup of Sack, or a Stage- play, or a needless Ceremony; which you account part of your Liberty?
A69536Are they pleased with well- doing, and with that which promoteth the Protestant interest, and mans salvation?
A69536Are they willing that so many of the English Non- conformists shall have leave to preach Christ''s Gospel freely, as never had any hand in the Wars?
A69536Are things lawful none of the[ All things?]
A69536At what Age he would have Mankind begin the practice of this Principle?
A69536Can Christians be of your Religion?
A69536Did not Christ come to seek and save them?
A69536Did not Mr. Eaton, when he wrote that the Oath of Allegiance and the Covenant bind not, know that most of us were against his judgement?
A69536Did not Mr. Nye write to prove it lawful to hear the Parish Ministers?
A69536Do not all Sects, even Quakers, meet at the Place and Time which their Leaders do appoint them?
A69536Do they not command their own Servants and Children things or circumstances antecedently indifferent?
A69536Do they not hear the words which the Leader chuseth for their Ears?
A69536Do you not thus reproach Christ, that set a higher price on Souls, when you value them not at the price of a Cup of Drink?
A69536Do you think that the Devil and the Papists had rather we were silenced, or not?
A69536Doth he believe the immortality of Souls who will say so?
A69536Doth not God beneficently love his Enemies; even the sinful, the humorous, the proud, and the peevish?
A69536Doth not God welcome such Prodigals when they return, Luke 16. and call, invite, and intreat them to return?
A69536Doth not the Law of Nature oblige us to love our Neighbour as our selves?
A69536Doth not this doleful Doctrine tell Men consequently, that they should seek to save the Soul of no Sinner in the World?
A69536Hast thou faith?
A69536Hath not this Reason( to keep others from Persecution) prevailed with us far enough and long enough?
A69536If a Man be against one Schoolmaster only over a thousand Schools, shall he be reproached because he is willing to teach one?
A69536If it be that we Preach worse than others, or Preach Sedition, or unsound Doctrine, why are not we accused of it, and judged upon proof?
A69536If not, doth this Religion of yours much commend it self to the Nature of Mankind?
A69536If the Question be, whether any Ruler have power to Command a thing which would be no Duty, but indifferent, if he did not Command it?
A69536If you say that our preaching is needless, Is not your own then as needless, if you preach the same Gospel?
A69536Is a King in each Kingdom as unreasonable a thing as a Papal Monarch, or a King of Kings, and of all the Earth?
A69536Is a Parish a Multitude of such Churches?
A69536Is not Love the fulfilling of the Law, and the End of the Gospel, and Faith working by Love, the Sum of Christian Religion?
A69536Is not that Man perfectly holy?
A69536Is not this such Carnal Policy, as if not repented of, will perish with the Masters of it?
A69536Is silencing us our suffering most, or the Peoples?
A69536Is there not joy in Heaven for their Repentance?
A69536Must we tempt men to think that we are Seekers, Quakers, Separatists, Anabaptists, lest we expose them to Persecution?
A69536Nor any thing but keeping them from preaching the Doctrine of Salvation?
A69536Or is he that writeth this fit to report us of the other mind, unfit for subjection, or Humane Society?
A69536Shall we have no pity on Mens guilty Souls?
A69536Should not every thing be valued according to its worth?
A69536That is, whether Duty be Sin, whether Life be Death, and Light be Darkness?
A69536WHether things antecedently lawful do therefore become unlawful, because commanded by Lawful Authority?
A69536Was it for matter of War that near two Thousand Ministers were ejected, or silenced, 1662?
A69536We protest against the persecution of sober godly Christians, on the account of such differences; and are we then guilty of what we deprecate?
A69536What Moralities, what Untruths, Injustice, and Unmercifulness is it pregnant with?
A69536Whether their way of Exposition, or ours, tend more to promote Perjury and Equivocation; and which more secureth Truth and Honesty?
A69536Whether there be need of much Learning, Conscience, or Honesty, to stretch the words from their ordinary sense, more than to do otherwise?
A69536Whether we owe not that honour to our Law- makers, as to suppose that they are able, and willing, to speak intelligibly?
A69536Who is it that hath not as great sin as some humorous, or peevish stumbling at some lawful thing?
A69536Why should Men be feigned so mad, as to argue at this rate?
A69536Why should no other penalty serve in this case, but silencing us?
A69536Would not punishing the innocent, as Drunkards or Whoremongers are punished, satisfie you?
A69536Would they have us either by speech or silence draw men to believe, that we are of all mens minds whom we would save from Persecution?
A69536Would you deny none of these to save many Souls?
A69536Would you have God care no more for your soul, and value it at no higher a rate?
A69536Would you have it believed that they are purchased by his Blood?
A69536Would you not deny your Liberty in a Cup of Drink, or a Pipe of Tobacco, to save the Life of one that in humour would destroy himself?
A69536[ Children obey your Parents in all things, for this is well- pleasing to the Lord: Servants obey in all things your Masters according to the Flesh?
A69536and Mr. Tombes write to prove it lawful both to hear and to communicate with them?
A69536and all this on pretense of good?
A69536and must we not in compassion speak for peace, but only say as Christ, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do?
A69536or for something else?
A69536or his House, who would set it on fire?
A69536or to four persons in a Village, than to thousands in Cities?
A69536or who is it that hath no pride, no peevishness, no humorousness, or at least that hath no vitious Principle at all?
A69536what work will selfishness and fleshly interest make?
A69536yea to cherish the sin of many, lest some should suffer?
A78034* Grolls?
A78034A Christian Church out of the Jewes Synagogue?
A78034A Wheele- barrow( such as they trundle White- wine- vinegar on) fitter for them then a Coach?
A78034All the Independents put together, have not so much learning as any one of a thousand other Ministers?
A78034And a quondam- fellow- sufferer too?
A78034And can you prove all those Parishes, out of which Churches are so gathered, as you say, to be Assemblies of believers?
A78034And did Pauls, and the Apostles doctrine escape the scourge of this whip?
A78034And 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?
A78034And doe you not no lesse oppose, vilifie, disgrace, jeare, and scoffe at their persons?
A78034And for Churches, doe you, Brother, limit Churches to Parishes?
A78034And have more then one done it?
A78034And have we not all taken the solemne Covenant to reform our selves and others, according to the word of God?
A78034And if all Churches in one Oecumenicall Councell, as one Church, be Dependent, then whereupon Dependent?
A78034And is it so indeed?
A78034And must Christ have no other doctrine or Church- government in the world, then that which is set up by the worlds authoritie?
A78034And so, what if they stiffly maintain a most damnable and destructive herefie, which overthroweth a main principall and fundamentall of faith?
A78034And the time of this first gathering, was it not then, when the old service and ceremonies were in use?
A78034And therefore seeing such things are objected, how doth it concerne both Ministers and people to looke to their evidences?
A78034And to endeavour to our power, to extirpate and roote out all Popery, Prelacy, Idolatry and Superstition out of this Kingdome?
A78034And what if the higher the worse?
A78034And what one?
A78034And who hath gathered these Churches?
A78034And( I pray) what harm in that?
A78034Are there not a number of both ignorant and scandalous, that are not fit to come to the Lords Table?
A78034As Peter and John answered, Why looke yee so on us?
A78034Brother, What''s become, I say not of your brotherhood, but of your manhood?
A78034But Brother, who is this you speake of?
A78034But can a few, at least some Nathaniels, among so many, carry the matters by vote, if they be many that contra- vote?
A78034But 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?
A78034But doe the Independents accuse your Booke, as worthy to be burnt by the common hangman, and that you are crased in your braine?
A78034But doe they professe the butchery of the Presbyterians?
A78034But how comes it to passe, that my two fellow- sufferers, and my selfe, should fall at this odds?
A78034But in the interim, to return to your Converts; Do you hold all them to be converts, from among whom churches are gathered?
A78034But is it in any more then one onely frontispice?
A78034But must that needs be heresie, which you account heresie?
A78034But tell me, Brother ▪ who is it ▪ that doth this?
A78034But you alledge that of Cornelius sending to Joppa for Peter, he sent not( say you) to the Church of Corinth; true, and what then?
A78034Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
A78034Despisers of Magistracy?
A78034Did this protestation( trow you) cleare him from being a notorious, yea, unparalleld Persecutor?
A78034Do you imply here the lawfulnesse of the matter of gathering, by questioning onely the manner?
A78034Do you not allow of a difference to be put?
A78034Doe you not call them* Beasts?
A78034Doth he rather withdraw from the Ordinance, then he can endure to see it so prophaned, and so partake with the prophaners?
A78034Ergo, are all Popish Parishes, Assemblies of Believers?
A78034Et tu Brute?
A78034Good now tell me, what church either Parochiall, or Classicall, I should go unto?
A78034Have we all the Pulpits in the Kingdome?
A78034Moone- calves?
A78034Nay, doth it not stand with very good reason, that they who are to walk together, should first be agreed together?
A78034No?
A78034Now 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?
A78034Now if you have not a good Presbytery, where shall he goe to complaine?
A78034Now is all this no opposing of the Persons of those you call Independents?
A78034Now, did I ever so perswade the people, or make them believe so?
A78034Old geese?
A78034Or are there not( trow you) many Parishes in England, where, perhaps but a few true converts are to be found?
A78034Or did the distance of the two Pillaries boad any such distance in our present judgements?
A78034Or 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?
A78034Or do you make every parish to be a Church?
A78034Or 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?
A78034Or is it a Dependent on it selfe?
A78034Or that noveltie, which appeares so to those that measure things rather by custome, then truth?
A78034Puffoists?
A78034See the Directory: Or do you take the greatest number in England to be godly, and truly converted?
A78034Sticklers against Parliament and Presbytery?
A78034Stirring up all along Magistrates and People to cut them off?
A78034They?
A78034Thinke 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?
A78034Use a Brother so?
A78034What if they not only not believe, but deny and disclaime Christs Kingly Prerogative?
A78034What if you finde so many hundred Parishes in England, whose Inhabitants both Ministers and people are all Malignants, or popishly- affected?
A78034What is to be done?
A78034What say you of that precedent of the Apostles, who in the Temple daily preached a diversed doctrine, to that of the Pharisees?
A78034What they?
A78034What thinke you of the like speech the late Prelate of Canterbury used in his* Booke to the King?
A78034What?
A78034Whereon then?
A78034Who are we that you should thus charge us?
A78034Who hath done thus?
A78034Why Brother, doe you not know this to be a time of Reformation?
A78034Why, Brother, what needed all these periphrases and circumlocutions?
A78034Wild geese?
A78034Will you have those Parishes to be so many Churches, and those popish Malignants, so many believers?
A78034Yea,& to take him so disgracefully by his white beard too,& that with a scurrilous Epithet, calling it* a great white ba ● ket- hilted beard?
A78034a company of Jugglers?
A78034a company of ratts among joyn''d stooles?
A78034a generation of cunning and crafty jugglers?
A78034a generation of men, not worthy to give guts to a Beare?
A78034and fighters against God?
A78034and what not?
A78034as 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?
A78034cunning deceivers?
A78034making them odious to the Scots?
A78034speaking nothing but daggers, and daring?
A78034the most dangerous sect that ever yet the world produced?
A78034violaters of all the lawes of God and Nature?
A41782( that is, do I preach the Doctrine of God or Man?)
A4178213,& c. is express for that laying on of hands which follows Baptism, to be granted to Christ to Infants?
A4178218. who then may question his Regal Power to be of God?
A4178218.?
A4178219, 20. warrant this Practice to the end of the World?
A41782And I pray Sir, consider, whether you could not with a good Conscience translate it so?
A41782And because we are speaking of Ceremonies, we crave leave to enquire, What means the Ceremony of the Ring in Marriage?
A41782And if God hath not Mercy on poor dying Infants, so as to save them all by Christ, pray shew what Mercy he hath upon them?
A41782And if it were so, why should not my Spirit be troubled?
A41782And is it so necessary that the Understanding act in the Duty?
A41782And is the sacred Word of Power to beget us to God, and by the assistance of his Spirit to make us his Children, or Christians?
A41782And on the other side, Whether your Conscience would not accuse you, should you translate the Text, Teach all Nations, sprinkling them?
A41782And saith the Prophet, I have delivered all these Countries into the Hands of Nebuchadnezzar: Who then may take them out of his Hand?
A41782And shall we not exceedingly fear, and stand in awe of that Majesty, which made these Pillars in the Church to tremble?
A41782And then to what purpose are these Rules given?
A41782And then what manner of Men are they that will take Liberty to rail on their Princes, if they do not what they would have them?
A41782And what Christian will not tremble to think of doing any thing against the tenour of his blessed Prayer?
A41782And what Honour can belong to such?
A41782And what Infant did you ever know thus qualified for Baptism?
A41782And what if God, willing to magnify his Mercy and Goodness, has provided a Saviour for the innocent Babes( dying in Infancy) throughout the World?
A41782And what tho 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 signify many Waters?
A41782And where you presently say, They have the Covenant belonging to them with their believing Parents?
A41782And whither would such a Consequence lead us, if we should follow it?
A41782And why?
A41782Are Infants of Jews, Turks, and Indians all of the visible Kingdom of Satan?
A41782Are they not marked out in Scripture for the worst sort of Men, that are not afraid to speak evil of Dignities?
A41782As for me, is my complaint to 〈 ◊ 〉?
A41782But have not the Prophets reproved Kings when they did Evil?
A41782But how shall it be a Power or Government without its Form?
A41782But how then does Mr. Taylor prove his Minor?
A41782But if it should happen that Princes should some way intrench upon the Civil Rights of their Subjects?
A41782But what things are they?
A41782But where now shall this Discipline be found in the Church of England?
A41782But why do our Brethren of the Church of England speak of the Seal in the Singular?
A41782But why may not the good Angels rebuke Satan?
A41782But your Conscience will tell you, it signifies into, as well as to; and indeed you grant it: and then to what putpose do you quarrel our Translation?
A41782But — whether it be right in the sight of God, to hearken unto you more than unto God, judg ye?
A41782Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy- Ghost as well as we?
A41782Can you think that such Doctrine befriends the Covenant of Grace?
A41782Come they not hence, even from Pride?
A41782Did not God provide by his express Law, that his Sacrifices should not be changed at Man''s Will, a good for a bad, nor a bad for a good?
A41782Do not Men that thus deal with the Word Baptize, make him the Author of all our Contests in this Case?
A41782Do not even Bishops hear Men swear a thousand Oaths, and either do not, or dare not use any Discipline against them?
A41782Does God make an Ordinance or any thing else without Form?
A41782Does any one Assembly, or Court, of the Church of England observe it?
A41782Does not Isaiah cry out against them that presumed to change God''s Ordinances, as Breakers of the everlasting Covenant?
A41782Does plunging or dipping take away the Understanding?
A41782Doth a Fountain give sweet Water and bitter at the same place?
A41782For He that hath this Worlds Good, and sees his Brother want, and shutteth up the Bowels of his Compassion, how dwells the Love of God in him?
A41782For is not Necessity as good a Warrant to take up the practice of, or to restore one Truth as well as another?
A41782From whence come Wars and Fightings?
A41782Has he not sent his Apostles, whose Words have gone to the uttermost parts of the Earth?
A41782Have Infants no benefit by the Covenant of Grace, unless their Parents believe?
A41782He goes as high as the second Century, and takes an instance of sprinkling from the service of the Daemons( that is, Devil- Gods) but why so?
A41782How can that Tongue be fit to bless God, to profess the Christian Religion, which is exercised in cursing, speaking evil, or wishing ill to any Man?
A41782How have they lorded it over Kings and Kingdoms, over the Estates, Liberties and Lives of Christians?
A41782How should we count them precious, if indeed God hated them from all Eternity?
A41782I shall profess to be none of those that are concerned in the Question, Whether Infants have Faith?
A41782If it be not his Will, wherefore is it done?
A41782If so, what can you call it?
A41782If you salute your Brethren only, what do you more than others?
A41782Is it meet to say to a King, Thou art wicked?
A41782Is it not commonly this, That the Hypocrites or Time- servers do fill that Church which has the Power of the Magistrate on her side?
A41782Let us hear the Apostle Paul, he is plain; Do I now persuade Men, or God?
A41782Nay, but with what Face or Conscience will he be able to forsake Popery, and not abjure his irregular Ordination?
A41782Now who can think, that our Saviour should use an ambiguous Word, which is to guide us in matter of Fact?
A41782Now who would think, that wise and good Men should thus grope at Noon- day?
A41782Or can Christians no other way bring their Infants to Christ?
A41782Or do no Infants belong to Christ, but those who are so brought?
A41782Or does she not practise that in her Courts, which is too evidently destructive of it?
A41782Or would you make our Saviour to say, He that baptizeth an Infant in my Name, receiveth me?
A41782Secondly, But Sir, what need was there for one Man only to baptize the three thousand?
A41782Shall not the Judg of all the Earth do Right?
A41782Shall we speak one thing, and do another?
A41782Shall we think then, that the Popish Orders are valid, in which there is not any preceding enquiry into manners?
A41782Taylor tells us expresly, Whether Infants have Faith?
A41782The Church of England blames the Papists for saying Marriage is a Sacrament; but shall we then make a Sacrament of a Ring?
A41782The only question here to be resolved is, Whether this laying on of Hands was for Ordination?
A41782Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy presence, when once thou art angry?
A41782What Duty should not Infants be entitled to, as well as to Baptism?
A41782What can be said more in this case?
A41782What if the Powers command otherwise?
A41782What need this trouble any Body?
A41782What ordinary Vocation is that which you say the first Reformers had, excepting some few of them, is it not the Pall?
A41782What shall I say to this?
A41782What then is the result of Persecution for Religion?
A41782What then must we do?
A41782What then?
A41782What, Sir, in their Infancy?
A41782Whence is this to me, said Elizabeth, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?
A41782Whether a succession of Ordination from Man to Man, down from some of the Apostles, be absolutely necessary to a due Call to the Ministry?
A41782Whether all that are in the Covenant of Grace may be baptized?
A41782Whether the same Means that is of Authority sufficient to make Men Christians, be not also sufficient to make Ministers?
A41782Who can hate Man, whose Nature and Likeness he beholds in the Humanity of God?
A41782Who has required it?
A41782Who sees not that such a Principle is pregnant with Oppression?
A41782Who sees not, that being thus set up, they are sometimes more set by, than sincere Faith, and an holy Life?
A41782Whose Image and Superscription is this, says Christ?
A41782Why are we forced not only to use it, but to use it in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy- Ghost?
A41782Why then do they thus act?
A41782Ye did run well, who did hinder you, that you should not obey the Truth?
A41782and to Princes, Ye are ungodly?
A41782do not these Men pray for their own Destruction?
A41782must our Eye be Evil, because his is thus Bountiful?
A41782or if he do abjure it, how can he by virtue thereof claim Authority to teach?
A41782that even an Heathen, that is not baptized, may administer Baptism in case of Necessity?
A41782what is this?
A41782what then?
A41782yea, very often by Men of the same Order, one towards another?
A413882dly, were you not under some discontent for your present low Condition?
A41388Besides if the Sun stood still from eternity, what caused it to move in time?
A41388But are not many Ministers themselves a chief cause that they are so contemned?
A41388But doe not you now run into the same erro ● r which you so lately condemned in others?
A41388But is not the poverty of many of them and the poor pittances allotted for their subsistence as great a cause of their contempt as any?
A41388But is not this an intrenchment upon our Christian liberty, to be confind to particular Modes and Forms?
A41388But pray tell me, is it possible, that there should be such fierce disputes, and bitter contentions about a very nothing?
A41388But what do you think of their opnion ● oncerning Inf ● nt Baptism?
A41388Can we imagine that such a gift was bestowed on him to Stir up wantonness and lust, by the more artificial singing, of unsavory Sonnets?
A41388Could any thing be utter''d more fals and invidious?
A41388Did not Astrologers, and Heathen Oracles foretel many things that came to pass as they were foretold?
A41388Do you think that all Nonconformists, and Separatists from your Church, are Libertines and Atheists?
A41388Does any light of nature make it rational that the Gods should be pleased with the blood of poor innocent Beasts?
A41388Have you any thing else to object aginst these Schismatick practices?
A41388How could you be deceived by such painted sepulchers?
A41388How do set form ● of Prayer more stint the Spirit, then set Forms of Psalms for Singing?
A41388How do you prove that to be unnecessary?
A41388How easie had it been then to have setled a competent maintenance upon most Churches in the Nation?
A41388I confess''t is not very probable; but have you any other proof, for the certainty of these Prophecyes?
A41388I very much approve your reason against the necessity of transubstantiation: Let me here from you why you tearme it monstrous, and impossible?
A41388If of all religions in the world, all are not in the right, how will you know which is the true Religion, which is the false?
A41388Is it imaginable that so many wise men should contend about a trifle, a fancy, a very nothing?
A41388Looke we on the animate Creatures, plants, herbs, flowers, grass, grain, how wonderfully they grow and multiply?
A41388Methinks I read some discontent in your face: what may be the cause of it?
A41388Now to the last objection: Were it not better that some Apochryphal Chapters were left out of the calender, and Canonical Lessons set in their place?
A41388O what will become of such an one unto all eternity?
A41388Or shall the husbandman refuse pure wheat because''t was once mingl''d with chaff, and tares, albeit''t is now winno ● ed and s ● fted?
A41388Or shall we refuse Pauls Epistles, because there are in them certain savory passages taken out of the writings of Idolatrous Heathens?
A41388Shall a true man refuse to take his goods, and make the best he can of them because he finds them in a Theifs house?

A41388What Inducements you had to turne to the Church of Rome?
A41388What Reasons you had to leave it?

A41388What express Text is there for the Communicating of Woemen?
A41388What is it to any understanding man, whether he Prayes or Preaches in Black or White or any other Colour, unless it be for decency and uniformity?
A41388What proof do you expect?
A41388What should I mention the Angels of the Seaven Asiatick Churches?
A41388When our Saviour saies( Hoc est corpus meum) what doth( hoc) stand for?
A41388When will that time come, that such strict discipline will be endured?
A41388You are pleased to make your self mercy with these mens bare- fac''t hypocricy, what a jugles this light within them?
A41388and I pray you what think you of their other rare quali ● ies before mentioned?
A41388and others of his perswasion appropriate to that Church: but had you not some other inducements?
A41388did Christ and his Apostles propagate the Gospel with such Carnall weapons?
A41388for may not the eare be deceived as well as the eye?
A41388how must they be broken into infinite fractions, especially where the fear of a Common enemy does not unite and peice them together?
A41388if one or two or three Senses may be deceived, why not all?
A41388of Angell, Saint, or Image, which is so expressly forbidden in the word of God?
A41388or 3dly, were you not ambitious of preferment, deeming popery to be a ready way to it?
A41388or is it rational to imagine that they should delight in humane ● acrifices?
A41388or lastly before you set up for the Church of Rome, were you serious and conscientiou ● in any Religion?
A41388or that''t is his method to informe the mind by Impostures?
A41388shall we think that the God of truth Gave to m ● n five Scences, to deceive 4 of them by one pretended miracle?
A41388the nose, the tast, the touch?
A41388then what will become of Romes orall Tradition?
A41388those excellent Prayers She uses, how are they ● itted to our infirmities, mixed with Psalms, Hymns, and choise portions of Scripture?
A41388what could you see more in them then what was conspicuous in the Scribes and Phari ● ees of old?
A41388what nation is there so great that has Statues and judgments so Righteous, as all the Law which is set before you this day?
A41388what need is there then of a Transubstantiation?
A41388when ● e cured the blind, the dumb, the lame, when he turned water into wine, was not this manifest to the Sight, the Smell, the Tast?
A41388which nevertheless the Anabaptists practise; have they not express Texts for obeying the Civil Magistrate?
A41388why not rather in that of baptism?
A41388why should not the baptismall water be changed into Christs very blood?
A41388will you believe nothing but what you see with your own eies?

A47851Or if ye found any thing else, what''s become of your Oath of Presentment?
A47851Or is it a Medley of Various and Disagreeing Opinions in the matters of Holy Worship?
A47851Or rather not more Tyrannical, because One Tyrant is not so much as many together?
A47851Or shall 〈 ◊ 〉 ● … dd somewhat to the Catalogue?
A47851Or what if ye should set forth your Grievances in a Protestant Mercury, or get little Hancock to open your Case in one of his News- Letters?
A47851P. 39,( 11) How was this Honourable and Famous City of London furnish''d?
A47851Superstitious, say I?
A47851To call Wicked, Perjur''d, Prophane Lukes, or Bloudy- minded Popish Arch- Bishops, your Grace; what is it less then Blasphemy?
A47851Was it not high time the Parliament should Execute Judgment upon him?
A47851What Peace with so many Implacable Antipathies, and Oppositions?
A47851What Rattling of their Red hot Chains?
A47851What Religion can be expected from men of these Outragious Principles?
A47851What Troubles you?
A47851What Truth, from such a Medly of Pernitious Errors?
A47851What a Rabble of Bug- words have we here hudled together in the First Paragraph?
A47851What ails you?
A47851What could we have Expected from them, but superstitions, Innovations, Illegalities, Bondage of our Estates, I iberties and Consciences?
A47851What is the meaning then of their pressing for a Union among men of so many several Persuasions not to be United?
A47851What is your Name?
A47851What shaking of their Fiery Locks?
A47851What to do?

A47851Where is the least shew of Oppression, or Cause of Complaint Minister''d to you; except it be because you are not suffer''d to oppress your Brethren?
A47851Whether beside the Guilt of Blood contracted upon himself in the Wars of England, and Scotland, he was not also Guilty of the Blood of Ireland?
A47851Whether seeing the Covenant was made to God Almighty, All Persons by the Covenant were not bound to bring Delinquents to Punishment?
A47851Whether the Title of Supream, be not rather Nominal than Real?
A47851Who Oppresses you?
A47851Who gave you that name?
A47851Who knoweth how soon the Lord may bless us with a Holy Peace, and Blessed Reformation, if Justice were more fully Executed?
A47851Why do ye not Name the Contrivances, and say who are the Conspirators?
A47851Why do ye not inform against him to the King and Council then, and say Where, and When, and How, and What?

A36241* Who is there among you Generous?
A36241And are we deeply concerned at the Consequences which have followed upon it, distructive to our Common Religion?
A36241And can he pretend that Cornelius was possessed of any thing of which the Magistrate could deprive him?
A36241And did not they do so too, as well as we, before the Deprivation?
A36241And does not he the same?
A36241And how are we therein singular?
A36241And how can he have the confidence to obtrude that upon Us, which he does not believe himself?
A36241And how can he pretend it sufficient for that purpose, if it was from the beginning null and invalid?
A36241And how can he that does so, think the Church in his arrear for his favour and protection?
A36241And how can they justify their disowning them upon a Sentence confessedly invalid?
A36241And how could our H. Fathert hope to succeed under so manifest and general a desertion of those who owe Duty to them, and know they do so?
A36241And is there not one calling in Christ?
A36241And they which wait at the Altar, are partakers of the Altar?
A36241And what Schisms or Persecutions can be worse to a Society than dissolution?
A36241And what can the Doctor say more for the Possession of Cornelius against Novation?
A36241And what could all his intermedling in these matters signify, if he can not oblige God to ratify what is done by him?
A36241And what good Church of England Man was there then that did not think the Plea very just and reasonable?
A36241And what has he to prove the contrary?
A36241And what has the Doctor attempted to the contrary?
A36241And what may that be?
A36241And who could better Judge of his Right as a Christian Prince, than he who was the first example of it?
A36241And why might not these times fall on the courses of Ithamar?
A36241And why must we take so much pains to no purpose?
A36241And why so?
A36241And why?
A36241Besides this very Sentence of Deprivation, which the Doctor owns to be invalid?
A36241But can he deny at least, that his design in publishing it, was to purge his party from the guilt of the present Schism?
A36241But how does it appear, without an explicite Contract, that it is accepted of with a design of entring into a Contract?
A36241But how does the Doctor pretend to avoid this Consequence?
A36241But to what purpose is it to produce proofs if the Doctor will take no notice of them?
A36241But what, says the Doctor, can the suffering of a few particular men be, when compared with the Peace and Tranquillity of the whole Church besides?
A36241But where could they seek or find them, but the same Objection, would still recur from this Right of the Civil Magistrate?
A36241But why, if our duty still be owing to the Rightful Claimers, as it must notwithstanding an invalid deprivation?
A36241Can he reconcile this with their old Duty, or excuse themselves, for violating that Duty, from being Accomplices in the Injustice?
A36241Could the Restitution be made by Solomon, and yet Zadok be High Priest in the time of David?
A36241Could they think this agreeable to the design of the Constitution?
A36241Do we cleave to our deprived Fathers, notwithstanding the Lay deprivation?
A36241Do we heartily wish that the Schismatical Rivals would think of Repentance, and returning to their Duty?
A36241Do we own the Old Bishops for the true Bishops of these Sees, of which they have pretended to deprive them?
A36241Does he expect that they must signify their minds herein Juridically, as they did formerly, from their Courts and their Cathedrals?
A36241Does not he recommend the like thoughts to the Schismaticks of his own time?
A36241For he puts the Case of a Bishop forbidding his People, on their Oaths, to accept of any other Bishop, and then asks, what must be done in such Cases?
A36241For how can he secure his New Facts when all of their kind have been prov''d unconclusive?
A36241Had not this been his Case, why could he not be prevailed on, to say something to the reason of the thing?
A36241Have we not one God, and one Christ, and one Spirit of Grace that is shed upon Us?
A36241How can he prove them discharged from their first duty, if the Lay deprivation be not sufficient to discharge them?
A36241How can he then oblige them to any further accounts on their part; that are to be made up by cession of their just Rights?
A36241How can it appear, that in accepting of the Prince''s favours, such a Contract as this was ever thought of?
A36241How can they then apply here the Case of Abiathar?
A36241How could he give or take away a Power from others, to which himself could not pretend?
A36241How could he suppose his Act would be ratified in Heaven?
A36241How could he therefore advance any Person to that Dignity, or exclude him from it?
A36241How could the Magistrate pretend to any Right in Affairs of this nature?
A36241How does it appear, that any Right, on their own side, is intended to be parted with in consideration of it?
A36241How does it appear, that it is accepted of as a consideration?
A36241How much more pleasing a sight must this be to all generous and Christian Tempers than our present Divisions and Scandals, and Animosities?
A36241How should the Church and State make Two distinst Societies, says he, where the Church and State consist of the very same Persons?
A36241How so, if our Eucharist had not been properly a Sa ● rifice?
A36241How so?
A36241How than could he pretend to to that Power?
A36241How then can an Act purely Personal, intitle him to an accession of Spiritual Authority?
A36241How then can any unprejudiced Judge take the Doctor''s Book for an Answer to the Vindication?
A36241How then can the Magistrate pretend to it?
A36241How then can the maintaining so licentious Principles be taken for an Expedient for preventing Schism?
A36241How then can we doubt of the Title of Zadok before Abiathar, Zadok being descended from the Elder Brother?
A36241How then comes he by this Power in Spirituals, which our Adversaries challenge for him?
A36241How then do they come to know that they were High- Priests in the Sense here disputed?
A36241How therefore can we believe Solomon ignorant of it?
A36241How worthy are his following Words of their Consideration?
A36241If they be certain and present how can they pretend that, by their compliance, they have avoided them?
A36241Is it because Ahias ministred before the Ark, and Ahimelech and Abiathar gave Divine Answers to David?
A36241Is the Church perjured if she accept of another?
A36241Must they publickly warn those who are in possession of their Cures and Parishes?
A36241Now how could the Magistrate pretend to promote or interrupt this Mystical communication between the Earthly and Heavenly Offices?
A36241Now what can any one preteud, that has been suggested by the Doctor for securing himself against these just Inferences, from so unwary a Concession?
A36241Thus the Apostle Reasons in the Case of maintenance: Do ye not know that they which Minister about Holy things, live of the things of the Temple?
A36241Was it likely that so religious a Prince as David could prefer a private Person before the High Priest, only because he was his Friend?
A36241What a Glory wou''d it be to them who are princpally engaged in it, to do what he invites them to?
A36241What but a fruitless exasperation of their Persecutors?
A36241What difference is there between this language, and that of the Doctor?
A36241What else can be the meaning of those Words?
A36241What if the Lords Spiritual and Temporal should turn it upon the Commons also?
A36241What is it that either makes his Book need, or his Brethren so clamorous for, a Reply?
A36241What is it therefore that he can pretend to have Answer''d in it?
A36241What made him then not think on some better account than that he gives, why Zadok is preferred to Abiathar, even in the time of David?
A36241What need of all this care, if they had thought it fit still to have regarded them only as particular Persons?
A36241What then can their Contract signify, be it never so express?
A36241What then will become of the Doctor''s imaginary Contract?
A36241What then?
A36241What therefore can our Adversaries desire more for satisfying the proper beneficial Notion of a Sacrifice?
A36241When, O When, shall it once be?
A36241Where then can be his Answer, if even himself grants all that we are concerned to assert in the Question principally disputed between us?
A36241Where then can be his Answer, if even himself grants all that we are concerned to assert in the Question principally disputed between us?
A36241Wherein then consisted that Appropriation of those Vestments to the High Priest properly so called?
A36241Who full of Charity?
A36241Who is Merciful?
A36241Why should he desi ● e it of us, it his design had been to satisfy Conscience, either his own, or ours?
A36241Why so, if he did not thereby own that the Reasons given by the Vindicator against the Argumentativeness of such Facts were Solid and concluding?
A36241Why so, if there had been any reason that he should have been concluded by them?
A36241Why so?
A36241With the Jews, in these Words: Behold Israel after the Flesh: Are not they which eat of the Sacrifices, partakers of the Altar?
A36241Would he have them fix publick Protestations against what has been done, in publick places?
A36241Yet who doubts but England and France were then two distinst and perfectly independent Societies?
A36241and betraying of the Ecclesiastical Rights, as Schismatical?
A36241if notwithstanding GOD should accept of the Person rejected by him, and reject the Person obtruded by the Civil Magistrate?
A36241who can bear it?
A36241will our Adversaries say that she is?
A36241† Why are there Strifes and Anger''s, and Divisions and Schisms, and War among you?
A443081. Who are the men?
A443082. Who are those worst?
A44308And, Have not your Actions in the late lamentable times cast a Blemish upon the Honour of our Nation never to be washed off?
A44308And, Have they told you( for no body else could) what sort of Non- conformists they would be?
A44308Are all men bound to read your Books?
A44308Are all the Presbyterians ejected and sequestred?
A44308Are not different and decent Vestures by God himself appointed to his Priests in their publick and holy Ministrations?
A44308Are not you they that say the Table of the Lord is polluted, his Meat is contemptible?
A44308But how long will these Brethren be weak?
A44308But why all this Complaint of your being cast out by the Bishops?
A44308But, my Brethren, how come you to make this lowd Challenge?
A44308But, my Brethren, why petition you for Peace?
A44308Can you feed upon nothing but Bloud, yea, the Bloud of your Brethren?
A44308Could ever any thing be said in so few words by the greatest Boautefew in the world, more seditiously, undutifully and uncharitably?
A44308Could not all the publick Libraries or Booksellers shop furnish you with Books for A Sermon of Repentance?
A44308Did he not answer his Arguments?
A44308Did this Cure your Divisions and create among you Peace and Unity?
A44308Did you not own and set up an Usurping Parliament against the King?
A44308Do not the Bishops maintain, and the Church stedfastly continue in the Apostles Doctrine?
A44308Do not you say, What a weariness is it?
A44308Do they not serve God as the Apostles have taught?
A44308Do they not?
A44308For their Question, Where was our Religion 200 years ago?
A44308From whom?
A44308Hath Christ given such Laws?
A44308Have they been deprived of their Livings wherewith the Law invested them?
A44308Have they been silenced, plundered of their Goods, Books, Papers, shut up in Prisons, banished, martyred?
A44308Have you herein submitted to his Majestie''s Declaration?
A44308Have you now really changed your minds?
A44308Have you suffered from your Brethren, from your fellow Subjects without and against Law?
A44308Having and using Book but a Bible and a Concordance, as you say in your Epistle; How vain, how false, how rankly smells it of the Pharisee?
A44308How can these Requests be denyed, in number so few, in nature so modest, religious and rational?
A44308How can you tell us of hundreds of yours cast out, and your guilt not fly in your faces?
A44308How doth this consist with your Profession in your Grand Debate?
A44308How long?
A44308How will Christ take it from you to cast out all Bishops and Episcopal men who durst not conform to you in your Matters?
A44308If you may mistake in any thing, may it not be in such great things as these?
A44308Is the Church a place, the Worship of God a season to exercise such Gifts in?
A44308Is this the Counsel you would give to one who doubts and seeks your Resolution?
A44308Is this to kill you with the Sword, that you can not kill your Brethren with the Sword?
A44308Let me be bold to ask, Who of you are the men that have suffered?
A44308May not all Zealots plead thus?
A44308My Brethren, Quorsum haec?
A44308Onely I ask you, Is this a likely Plea for Peace?
A44308Pray, Sir, How came you by this Plerophy?
A44308R. which implies, we lay our Religion upon our particular Liturgy, and so teach the Papists to insult, Where was our Religion 200 years ago?
A44308Shall demonstrate to you further, how you take upon you the Pope, in both his claims of highest Power?
A44308Tell you us, who have our Swords by our sides, of the Laws?
A44308That may be soon done; for few or no obsolete words are in the Liturgy: but doth not God, do not we understand old and plain words?
A44308They express their dislike of Kneeling at the Reading of the Commandments; did they never break any of them?
A44308Was ever any thing more seditious, wild and contradictious to it self?
A44308We crave leave to ask, Whether your selves do not in some things mistake?
A44308Were they not ashamed, confounded and astonished at our Schisms and Seditions, and Violations of all Authority Sacred and Civil?
A44308Were your Presbyterian Government set up, would you allow the Freedom you ask?
A44308What Judgment did Mr. Beza give?
A44308What Judgment did Peter Martyr pass in the Case of Bishop Hooper, about the Ceremonies?
A44308What a Noise they make in almost every Paragraph, lamenting and repeating their Sufferings?
A44308What a frightfull Bugg is a Surplice, that you dare not wear it in the Administration of the publick Worship?
A44308What can you say worse against a Dioclesian, than to forbid the Ministers of Christ, not conforming, the Exercise of their Office?
A44308What doth all you?
A44308What have they suffered?
A44308What is this to the Point in controversie?
A44308What manner of Liberty of Conscience, wilt thou say, may there be in so great observation and wariness?
A44308What troubles you?
A44308What want of advantages for study in London?
A44308What, excellent and worthy, and yet guilty and disorderly, defective, inconvenient, — How are these consistent?
A44308Whether Ordination be a Ceremony?
A44308Whether Saint Paul had Lawn Sleeves?
A44308Whether a Ceremony hath any thing belonging to it de essentia?
A44308Whether this be doing as you would be done by?
A44308Who are those tender ones that dare not?
A44308Who called to Arm?
A44308Who promised Heaven to all that would take up the Sword in that blessed Cause of the Covenant?
A44308Who were those that drew the Sword for Reformation?
A44308Why did you not then( when it was in your Power, and the Staff in your hands) hearken to Bishop Vsher and those Episcopal Divines?
A44308Why enquire you, or rather, Why presume you, what Judgment the Protestant Churches will make of our Churches proceedings?
A44308Will they be Children of a Hundred years, after so long time and teaching, and means of Instruction?
A44308Will this be a good Answer to the Lord at the great Day of Accounts?
A44308Yes, for that time excellent and worthy: but at this time guilty, defective, — But pray what''s the difference between that time and this?
A44308You might well have spared the mention of the Sword; Why do you expose your own Miscarriages to the review of the World?
A44308and if they will not read or answer it, Why are you angry?
A44308and, did they not oppose and disown all Episcopal Government?
A44308and, is there not a Prayer subsequent to each of them?
A44308and, under whom?
A44308are you in good earnest?
A44308did not his late Majesty of blessed memory offer as great condescentions as could be desired to your Divines at the Isle of Wight?
A44308did you not covenant against Episcopacy?
A44308do you not still judge your selves obliged to keep your Covenant?
A44308do you speak Verbo Sacerdotum when you make us believe you desire to obtain an Episcopacy?
A44308exhort him to submit unto them?
A44308have you not Authority on your side?
A44308have you not Declaration upon Declaration, Ordinance upon Ordinance, Order upon Order to back you?
A44308have you not all the Church livings in the Kingdom?
A44308how long?
A44308if not, where is the blame?
A44308is it not Peace?
A44308is not his Prayer made up of meer Generals?
A44308must our Devotions as our Garments be changed after the new Fashions or Modes of times?
A44308must we be rhetorical, quaint and curious; complement God in our Prayers?
A44308must we change our Religion with the times?
A44308must we coin new ones to please him and our selves?
A44308must we have a temporizing worship?
A44308vindicate the lawfulness of them?
A44308we have the same Doctrine, the same Sacraments, the same Government; and why should not we have the same Worship?
A44308what Guilt hath our Liturgy contracted by time?
A44308what have you suffered?
A44308when you were then told of the Word and of the Laws, you could answer with that Roman, Nunquamne nobis Gladiis succinctis Leges recitare desinetis?
A44308who are those which hinder Peace?
A44308who doth oppress you?
A44308who have been your Persecutors?
A44308would you be cast out for every fault that is as bad as this?
A52421* By what Authority doest thou these things, and who gave thee this Authority?
A52421* For if the Ministration of Death was glorious, how shall not the Ministration of the Spirit be glorious?
A52421* Is Christ divided?
A52421* Is it a small offence to despise the Church of God?
A52421* Thus shall you say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, what hath the Lord answered, and what hath he spoken?
A524212. Who were the Authours and Composers of these, of our Church?
A52421?
A52421A Lamb at the Evening* as well as a Lamb in the Morning?
A52421Again,* There is one Body, one Spirit, one Hope, one Lord, one Faith,& c. And, † is Christ divided?
A52421And a Person so lawfully suspended by Authority, as is said, may he in such a case execute the Office of the Ministry, or may he not?
A52421And can we not close and communicate together in the Worship and Service, of that one blessed Creator, mercifull Saviour, and most sweet Comforter?
A52421And doth God look for order among sticks?
A52421And doth he not much more require order to be kept in the use of those means, by which he hath appointed to bring Souls to Heaven?
A52421And how can they believe in him, of whom they have not heard?
A52421And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A52421And how shall they preach except they be sent?
A52421And if men are willing to submit to the Penalty of the Law, is not that sufficient to discharge the Conscience from the guilt of disobedience?
A52421And if the Jewish Church had that power, why then hath not the Christian the like?
A52421And if the Kings of Israel might execute such power, why not the Kings of England also?
A52421And if ye found Christ walking amongst us, how is it, that 〈 ◊ 〉 do now leave us?
A52421And is Discipline so needfull in an Army, and can it be thought needless in the Church?
A52421And may Christians then play at sast and loose with the bonds of holy Communion at their pleasure?
A52421And not to be set on a Candlestick?
A52421And thus endeavour to undermine and destroy so godly and legal an Establishment?
A52421And what doth let, but that we may observe both, when they are not one to the other in any sort repugnant?
A52421And who may not observe, their constant and studyed withdrawing from the use of it?
A52421And whom do the men( we are speaking of) most prevail upon, and draw after them?
A52421And why?
A52421And will it be safe for any to follow such a President?
A52421And † St omnis anima, cur non est vestra?
A52421Building the Church is but an orderly joining the materials; and what then is disjoyning, but pulling down?
A52421But how shall we attain to be masters of this Art of quietness?
A52421But is not suffering, obedience?
A52421But what saith St. Paul to all this?
A52421Can he be the head of such divers and disagreeing bodies, being himself but one?
A52421Can ye allow of one self same Gospel, as Christ''s, being uttered by one Man, and loath it being uttered by another?
A52421Dare ye to withdraw at any time from God''s presence, whose face at all times ye are † commanded to seek?
A52421Did Christ separate from the Church of the Iews, and not hold Communio ● with her, because she was not what she had, or ought to have been?
A52421Did ye ever reade of true conversion ordinarily in false Church?
A52421Do not the Histories of all Ages give in evidence to the evil tendency of these private, seditious, and unlawfull meetings?
A52421Doth not the Apostle † from this very ground argue the truth of his Apostleship?
A52421Doth not the prophet say the quite contrary?
A52421Doth not this harden them in their Superstition and Idolatry, avert them from our Church, and make them sit down in the scorners chair?
A52421For first, may not the same be said of almost all the Arguments that are?
A52421For there is nothing hid that shall not be manifested?
A52421For what is a Church without order, but a kind of an Hell above ground?
A52421For what sweet Doctrine of Christ, his Person, or Offices, can you hear there, which you can not or may not hear in the publick?
A52421For what warrant have they to meddle with other Mens Flocks?
A52421For who is † Paul, and who is Apollo?
A52421For, I would demand of them, doe they well, or ill, when they come?
A52421For, if it were an excellent and worthy work then, what hinders, but that it is so now?
A52421For, † how can they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A52421He will say as Achish,* Have I need of mad- men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad- man in my presence?
A52421How can they exist as members of Christ''s body, which have left their coupling and conjunction, with the other members of the same?
A52421How?
A52421I ask him again, whether hath not he commanded the publick Service of the whole day, as well as a part?
A52421If every soul, then the Souls of Ministers as well as others: For who excepted them from the universality?
A52421If ill; why then come they at any time?
A52421If the presence 〈 ◊ 〉 Christ, both of his power and grace, be with us, why do ye deny your presence?
A52421If then we retain our Conjunction with Christ, why do ye refuse Communion with us?
A52421If well; why then come they not at all times, when they may?
A52421In what part of the World else is there such studious flocking and resort to Christian Churches, as here?
A52421Is he divided from his Ministers, so as not to work by his Spirit, in the hearts of his People, with his word preached by one, as well as by another?
A52421Is it because he hath commanded it, or to doe him any service thereby?

A26965And if good Princes were but the tenth part as rare, as they thought that said[ In uno annulo]& c. what then would become of Religion in the World?

A26965If in the first Instant it be confessedly the equal duty of all, how will the weakness and sin of one part change the obligation of all the rest?
A26965If so, then why saith the Canon that the Convocation[ is the true Church of England by Representation] and those excommunicate that deny it?
A26965If the Churches be somehow supplied by mens sin, will it follow that truth and righteousness in sounder blameless men will not mend their supply?

A26965May I give away the needfull helps to my salvation, because others have them, as if their salvation might satisfie me instead of my own?
A26965Nay, what if on such necessity they should accept of favour from any Papists that would save them?

A26965THE Question stated § 3,& c. Whether we are obliged by or to the Jewish National Polity?
A26965The question is not whether these faulty Translations were not a good work, and a great mercy to the Church, till we had a better?
A26965The question is, What obligation there is in this case?

A47813But what was it you were saying e''en now of the Best Governours in the World?
A47813But what way would you direct for the Limiting of the Qualifications?
A47813But what yet if they Were two thousand?
A47813But what''s your end in all This?
A47813But wher''s your Vindication of the Ch ● r ● ●-Orders you mention?
A47813But who must expound it?
A47813But why can ye not now dispense with your Covenants, as well as you did formerly with the Oath of Allegeance?
A47813But why do I argue from your Practises, when your Positions do naturally leade to the same undutyfull Ends?
A47813But why do I call it an Oath of Allegiance to Presbytery?
A47813Di ● not you animate the Party that was in Arms against the King; 〈 ◊ 〉 much as any man, and was That no hurt to his Person?
A47813Did not the Kirk lead the Dance, and the Republican Faction in England pay them their wages, and call them their Dear Brethren for their pains?
A47813Did ye not Covenant[ to preserve and defend the Kings Majestys Person, and Authority?]
A47813Do not the Kings of all these Nations stand up in the Room of their Progenitors; with the same Implacable Enmity to the Power of the Gospel?
A47813Do not you here acknowledge Richard the Pr ● tectors Sovereignty?
A47813Do not you know, that write about the Cause, that the War was not founded in Theologicall differences, but in Law differences?
A47813Do not you remember a certain Dedicatory Epistle, to Richard Protector, i ● your Key for Catholiques, where you have these words?
A47813Even 〈 ◊ 〉 to Mr. Baxters own Exposition, which is, that by St. 〈 ◊ 〉 Higher Powers, is Intended Those in Actual Poss ● ssion?
A47813For the Assembly- Divines to 〈 ◊ 〉 the People to rise for their Defence?
A47813Hath it not been by the Bloud of Saints?
A47813How comes Toleration to be a Sin, under 〈 ◊ 〉 Presbyterians, and a Duty under the Bishops?
A47813How comes it 〈 ◊ 〉 be Damnation, in the case of the Late King, and Richard 〈 ◊ 〉 well, to Obey the Former, and destroy the Latter?
A47813How could you ● ustify then a Submission to such a Prelacy?
A47813How few will take well a Reproof, but rather defend their sin?
A47813How have they earn''d their Titles?
A47813How 〈 ◊ 〉 Bishops to be Antichristian, at one time, and Warrantable at 〈 ◊ 〉?
A47813If Richard thinks fit to come In, there''s no body hinders him; and if Iohn will not come in, who can help it?
A47813If it had been as he woud have it; how comes the whole Order of Bishops to be Assaulted?
A47813If the Government was i ● King, Lords, and Commons, how came the Two Houses ● o Rule Alone, with an Vsurpation?
A47813In good time Mr. Richard: And who taught ye, I wonder your Complements to Prince Richard in the Five disputations?
A47813Is Faith and Holynesse propagated by Perswasion, and not by Force?
A47813Is This the Repentance, Mr. Baxter, of a Confessor?
A47813Is it such a Horrid Accusation, to say that Mr Baxter M ● i ● tains the King, may be call''d to Account by a Single Peer?
A47813Is not This Destructive of the Kings Power?
A47813Is this the meaning of all the Precepts of Honouring, and Obeying your Superiours?
A47813Now if the Constitution was so Abominable, why should they submit to it ▪ And if it was not so, why does Mr. Baxter say that it was?
A47813Or a Common Prayer- Book more Intolerable 〈 ◊ 〉 a Directory?
A47813Or by what Law did That Parliament raise That Army?
A47813Or how came you to Alienate your self from his Majesties Iurisdictino, and to turh Subject, to the Two Houses?
A47813Out of all doubt; but what if They expound the Scripture One way, and You Another?
A47813Pray''e Say: 〈 ◊ 〉 not the Freedome and Right of the Electors, as much a Fundamental, as the Priviledge, and Trust of the Elected?
A47813Pray''e tell me Mr. Richard; Was Prelacy Lawfull Before the Act for Uniformity, and not After?
A47813Pray''e where was the Fear of Cod, when the King was opposed?
A47813The Standard of the Presbyte ● ian Loyalty why not as tender of a breach of Trust, according to Law, as against it?
A47813Their Persons Affronted; and their Votes in Parliament taken away; without distinction?
A47813These are my own words, and do you think that I would ever have bestowed upon a detestable wretch, the Epithetes of PRUDENT, PIOUS and FAITHFUL?
A47813This is to Intimate that the P ● ● sbyterians were under a Persecution, Who were the Persecutors, I beseech ye?
A47813To the Robbing of Altars; demolishing of Temples; dethroning of Kings; degrading of Bishops?
A47813To the forcing of a whole Nation either to Swear or starve?
A47813Was it Nothing?
A47813Was the Feud so deadly, as to make them destroy Themselves; and Ruine the whole Hierarchy in Revenge?
A47813Was there such a Ministry, or such Love and Concord, or such a Godly People under them in the Prelates Reign?
A47813Well, well?
A47813What can I do better, then to face him with the Acts of the Assembly, and the Proceedings of the Two Houses, to the Contrary?
A47813What can more expose the Credit of the 〈 ◊ 〉 then this double- dealing in the Foreman of the Party?
A47813What did we raise Armyes for?
A47813What did you search the Word of God for, in the Case?
A47813What do you call Incapacitys?
A47813What do you think now of the Worthy Assembly?
A47813What hindred this A ● gument from holding, when the King was in Actual Possession?
A47813What hopes of Unity and Peace; or what Pretence to''t; so long as these dividing and defaming Liberties are kept a foot?
A47813What if the King should take upon him so?
A47813What if the first Publick Sticklers, were not at that time Declar''d Presbyterians?
A47813What is This, but the Asserting of Rebellio ● ● Principles?
A47813What should they cry out for against the Separatists, that are all this while, doing the Papists business to their hands?
A47813What would you say now to the turning of the Tables, and setting up of your Qualifications on the other side?
A47813When Mr. Baxter Sets up for a Toleration; wh ● ● can be fairer then to shew him his own Arguments against it?
A47813When it was in Truth, a direct Conjuration against the Government, both Ecclesiastical, and Civil, for the Introducing of it?
A47813Who Absolv''d you from the One Oath, or who Authoris''d you in the Other?
A47813Who would have thought it?
A47813Whom did we cast out of all Church- Maintenance?
A47813Whom did we ever forbid to Preach the Truth?
A47813Why are ye blowing of them again?
A47813Why do ye not Touch the Thesis that you condemn; and say This, That, and tother Aphorisme I Renounce?
A47813Why do you cite the Holy Common Wealth, so often?
A47813Why not Prelacy as ● awful after the Act, as before?
A47813Why prethee what Power did we allow him?
A47813Will you have it now that This Army, your O ● ●, and intimate Friends, did no Hurt to his Majesties Person?
A47813[ Alas?
A47813[ Do nothing which they bid you do, though otherwise Lawful] O Strange Exposition of the 4 th Commandement?
A47813[ It is not known that the Presbyterian Government hath been exercised in London, in Lancashire, and in many Counties these many years?
A47813[ Must we say nothing to such bloudly slanders?
A47813[ Nay how many Professors will rashly rail and lye in their Passions?
A47813[ Remem ● ●( say you to the Army) how far I have gone with you in the W ● ● — And shall I be affraid of my Old most Intimate Friends?

A47813[ What have we done these Twenty years against the King or State?
A47813[ What is This Prelacy?
A47813and blesse all the Providences that have brought matters so Comfortably about?
A47813and contrary to the word of God, and Apostolical Institution, Ibid P. 51. what need was there then of any further Disswasion?
A47813and to hammer into the heads of the Multitude, the danger of Re- admitting their Lawfull Soverei ● n?
A47813and to return him a Publick Counterfeit Thanks for Bloodshed; yea, for the bloud of Thousands?
A47813and why might not the Commons, cast out the Lords, and the Army the Commons, as well as the Two Houses cast off the King?
A47813if the Judgment be once perverted, and Errour hath perverted the Supreme Faculty, whether will men go, and what will they do?
A47813is there not in every corner of These Kingdomes, the Slain and the Banish''d ones of Christ to Answer for?
A47813or who are to be the Iudges of it?

A47813when so many were turn''d out of the Universities for not Engaging, and so many out of the Magistracy, and Corporation- Priviledges?
A48787?
A48787As, Had Zimri peace that flew his Master?
A48787B. C. I pray, who appeared first against the order of the Church, and how did they behave themselves?
A48787B. D. So they may as long as there are so many that speak for them; yet they are not so silent; did you not hear their charge to Archippus?
A48787B. L. What should be the reason of this looseness in this Kingdome?
A48787Brown being beforehand dispatched, to set up the old Parliament, and the Kingdome of Jesus Christ: But is any of these things done?
A48787But did they break out into any excesses and extravagancies?
A48787But did they content themselves in not subscribing?
A48787But did they stop at this?
A48787But doth the Arch- Bishop trust him?
A48787But what became of Brown himself?
A48787Butter will not now melt in their mouths; what is it to be poor?
A48787By whom will you be tried?
A48787C. But did not his Majesty order a Conference between both parties?
A48787C. But have they that have disserted their Ministry, nothing to support them but voluntary contributions?
A48787C. But how can they meet now the Law is so severe?
A48787C. But now all will not do, what shall we do then?
A48787C. But was there any further newes of the Conference?
A48787C. But were they true?

A48787C. Had they any more hope?
A48787C. How did they contrive to set up their new Government?
A48787C. How did they proceed?
A48787C. How do the Presbyterians keep the people in these courses from running into Independency?
A48787C. How do these men escape the Bishops Courts?
A48787C. How may these conforming Nonconformists be discerned?
A48787C. How was that plot discovered?
A48787C. How went they on?
A48787C. Is not the Law open for the honest men to come by their dues?
A48787C. Now the King could not help the Church, the Bishops were secured, the severe Courts against the Factions were down, how did the people appear?
A48787C. Really that was warily done; but what hope have they to bear up in this way?
A48787C. They hear Common Prayer there?
A48787C. This is downright; — but is this all?
A48787C. Was he suffered?
A48787C. Was the late plot in the North a general one?
A48787C. Was there any more done?

A48787C. What is their success?
A48787C. What then?
A48787C. What use did they make of that?
A48787C. What, do they Impose any thing?
A48787C. When this failed, what course did they take?
A48787C. Where can so many lurke as have forsaken their callings, rather then their Rebellion?
A48787C. Why are they suffered to do these things in other mens Parishes?
A48787Can a man touch the Lords Annointed, and be guiltless?
A48787Court: Who was active there against the Church besides?
A48787Did they stop here?
A48787Do they set these men immediately upon establishing their way?
A48787Do you know what you say?
A48787Do you mean liberty to do what you will, or to do what you ought?
A48787Had they no design to carry on by the new Translation of the Bible?
A48787Having now almost destroyed the Church Government, Discipline and Worship, what do they not endeavour to set up their own way?
A48787Hawkins, being cited before Grindal Bishop of London, and asked this question, Have we not a godly Prince?

A48787I pray what followed?
A48787I pray what was Mr. Calvins Judgement of it?
A48787I pray wherein were they active when all these courses failed them?

A48787L. H. This cut off all the Orthodox men that were already, root and branch; but what care did they take of the next Generation?
A48787Liberty?
A48787Mr. Fuller, will you be pleased to acquaint the Court with the Opposition made against the Church of England at Francford?
A48787Mr. Gilpin, did you refuse that Bishoprick out of any disaffection to that Office?
A48787Mr. Tims, are you not a Deacon?
A48787My Lord of London, What shall we do?
A48787Not a word all this while of their Discipline?
A48787O why can not the great things wherein you agree unite you, rather then the small matters wherein you differ should divide you?
A48787Seaman,& c. and Dr. Heylin, Dr. Gunning, Dr. Pearson, Dr. Pierce, Dr. Sparrow,& c. but what was the issue?
A48787So you may any where else if you would be but as honest as you ought — But what is the matter?
A48787Some of them would not take this Oath at all, but would say, If our faults be unknown, why are we accused?
A48787Something it was you made that Vineger face; what a Gods name would you have?
A48787T. F. He demanded whether they desired the taking away thereof?
A48787Was it for Arminianisme that Mr. Mountagues Book called Appello Caesarem was so much opposed?
A48787We pray you( Sir) what was the maine engine that Mr. Calvin used to bring his way into so much credit and esteeme among us?
A48787Were they convinced by argument, or did they submit to Authority?

A48787Where was Authority all this while?
A48787Where was the King all this while?
A48787Whether the Presbyterian party may be protected and encouraged, and the Episcopal not deserted nor disobliged?
A48787Who do I see there?
A48787Who else opposed the Church of England?
A48787Who met?
A48787Who was it that promoted this cause so far?
A48787Why do not you my Lord, use these innocent and harmless Weedes?
A48787Why how now Scruple, what ailes you now with your Friday face, and Sabbath day Lookes?
A48787Why should Lecturers be discouraged, whereas the power of Godliness flourished most in those places where these Lecturers were?
A48787Why?
A48787Why?
A48787Would none of the Nonconformists when they were indited for a fame of a Conventicle or so, clear themselves by an Oath?
A48787an admonition?
A48787but were they contented to set up this new way among themselves?
A48787but when their Arguments failed them against these Courts, did they sit down?
A48787do they promote their cause, or advance the Kingdome of Jesus Christ?
A48787his Sacred Majesty did graciously appoint a way to satisfie all parties in point of Interest; But what do they do in point of Conscience?
A48787if liberty to do what you will, we know where about you would be; if what you ought — who shall judge what ought to be?
A48787is England unsetled, that you can not live there?
A48787or doth the spreading nature of it prevaile?
A48787or have you any more Spoones, Bodkins, Thimbles for this Warr?
A48787or were not these men betrayed by their own brethren, Hill and Riggs?
A48787speak, Is she evil?
A48787that is the lowest of Ecclesiastical Censures, and a preparative if neglected to suspension and excommunication; what?
A48787thou hast not seen that that made thee glad these sixteen years?
A48787was it Liberty, Religion?
A48787you, or your Superiours?
A48787— But what was the issue of all this?
A48787— C. But do they stay here?
A48787— Lord, is there no peace to be had in the world unless these people are pleased?
A48787— a man may pick a Church here when it is lost in the World; or are we for the Commonwealth against Tyranny?
A273927.3?
A27392A change in the Church naturally produces some change in the State; and who can secure the event for the better?
A27392And do you not then contradict this end of his Death, in setting those at Variance, whom he intended to Vnite?
A27392And he thus concludes his advice; Hast thou faith, art thou satisfy''d that it is lawful to eat any sort of food?
A27392And how do''s it follow, that because they did not use the same rites and ceremonies of Prayer, therefore they did not use Forms of Prayer?
A27392And how is that, but by promoting Love, Peace and Order, and taking care to preserve it?
A27392And how pathetically do''s the same Apostle exhort you again to the same thing, by all the mutual Endearments that Christianity affords?
A27392And if any ask, at what time they are bound to bring them to Baptism?
A27392And if they are capable of the Benefits and Privileges of Christianity, why shou''d not the sign of those Benefits and Privileges be apply''d to them?
A27392And in this case how shall he know by Scripture, whether his present Inspiration be Natural or Divine?
A27392And in this sence can any good Christian find fault with the Petition?
A27392And indeed how is it possible thou shoud''st profit by his Ministry, if thou come with prejudice, without any Reverence, and delight unto it?
A27392And is it not reasonable to believe they will be so?
A27392And now I pray, how do''s this Text prove, that we must use a gift of Vocal Prayer in our own words?
A27392And shall Peace be broken only in the Church, where it ought to be kept most intire?
A27392And that almost all the Catholic Church on Earth this day, is below your Communion for using Forms?
A27392And that by those who acknowledge it to be possible, and within their Power?
A27392And that even Calvin, and the Presbyterians, Cartwright, Hildersham, and the Old Non- Conformists were unworthy your Communion?
A27392And what is that greater good, but the gift of Heavenly affections in Prayer?
A27392And what reason is there, why a Gesture shou''d be more defil''d by Idolaters, than Meat which they had Offer''d up in Sacrifice to Idols?
A27392And why may not he that Praies Extempore, be as little affected with what he Praies for, before he has exprest it, as he that uses a Form?
A27392And why then do the Independents exact such a Covenant of Baptiz''d persons, before they admit them to their Communion?
A27392And why then may not the same be done in the Lord''s Supper?
A27392Are not the Peace and Unity of the Church, things that ought greatly to sway with all Sober, Humble and Considering Christians?
A27392Are you not more earnestly press''d in our Congregations to be throughly good, than in those where you think you profit more?
A27392Are you satisfy''d in your Conscience to join in Communion with us; and will you not do it for the sake of the Church of God?
A27392Because they did well, are we therefore to do worse?
A27392But are conceiv''d Prayers the more Inspir''d, because the words are Extempore?
A27392But it will be said; What shall a Man do?
A27392But then, why do''s not the same Principle, that brings you at one Time, bring you at another?
A27392But what is meant by Suspending Communion?
A27392But what reason is there for this?
A27392But what syllable or shadow of a Command is there in all the History for the use of any gesture in the act of receiving?
A27392But why shou''d we not by Sudden Death understand our being taken out of this World, when we are not fit to die?
A27392But, say they, why shou''d the phrase be us''d at all in such matters, if not commanded is not the same as forbidden?
A27392By what Rule shall he chuse his Guide?
A27392Did God continue the gift for no other end, but that Men might ask those things Extempore, which they might as well have asked in a Form?
A27392Did you not come to Church but once or twice, and then conclude too hastily, that there was no good to be gotten there?
A27392Did you not leave the Church, because, when you came, the Minister happen''d to Treat of a Subject cross to your opinion?
A27392Do not many of your own way complain of their unprofitableness under your own Ministers, which arises perhaps from a natural dulness?
A27392Do you, for instance, pay Reverence to God''s house, and come at the beginning of Service, and stand up and kneel with the Congregation,& c?
A27392Do''s he not say, He that doubteth, is damn''d if he eat, v. 23. and that whatsoever is not of faith, is sin?
A27392Do''s not this conceit arise from the foremention''d causes?
A27392First Then, what is it that the Scripture attributes to the Spirit in Prayer?
A27392For how can they excel others in knowledge or goodness, who are so easily drawn or tempted to sin?
A27392For how often do we find the word apply''d to things that have no Voice at all?
A27392For instance, what Order can there be, if Superiours may not determine, whether Prayers shall be long or short, and the like?
A27392For our Saviour probably us''d a Leaning Gesture; and by what Authority do they change it to Sitting?
A27392For then who could be innocent?
A27392For they allow the People to sing Psalms; and why then may they not bear a part in the Hymns and Psalms by alternate responses?
A27392For thus he resolves that Question, How or in what sense the Earth his Footstool may be worshipp''d without impiety?
A27392For to what purpose is a Man a Member of a Society, if he can not enjoy the privileges of it?
A27392For where, I pray, are they commanded to sprinkle the Children that are Baptiz''d?
A27392Had you not some prejudice against the Minister you came to hear, either for his Conformity, or his strictness in it, and the like?

A71273What Doubts may arise upon such a Change, and what Confusion may follow it, who will take upon him to determine?
A71273What Man( well in his wits) did ever feel the loss of his Christian Liberty, by putting a Gown upon his Cassock?
A71273What a sad Spectacle is this to see that Church thus trodden under foot?
A71273What if the sight of a Dial, puts me in mind, that my life is as a shaddow that departeth?
A71273What marvaile then, if these your cruel distractions have awakened, yea, divided even to a variety the Judgments and Affections too of Christendom?
A71273What may they not be carried up to by the imagination of the Spirit?
A71273What shall we do, that we might work the work of God?
A71273What then?
A71273What was the true meaning of that Altar, forementioned?
A71273What?
A71273What?
A71273What?
A71273Where was the failure?
A71273Who are they that cry out now against the Government, and talk of the great danger of Arbitrary Power?
A71273Who can think the Church is Edified, where all Genuflexion, all Reverence, all evidences of a Devout mind are out of practice?
A71273Who commanded all the Garrisons, Forts, Castles, Ships?
A71273Who composed and commanded Olivers standing Army?
A71273Who maintained, continued, and finished the War, and the Tragedy of the King''s Murder?
A71273Who rul''d according to Will, without and against Law?
A71273Who was it that animated the People to take up Arms for Defence of Liberty and Property( invaded only by themselves,) against the King?
A71273Who were they that banisht his present Majesty, sought that life which could not have been preserved but by a Miracle?
A71273Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
A71273Why did James, Cephas, and John give Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, but to be a sign and evidence of their Concord?
A71273Why did they put on sackcloath and ashes, but to express their humiliation, and their sorrow?
A71273Why of old, did they rent their cloaths, but to shew their indignation?
A71273Why?
A71273Would they have us comply with them against the Church of Rome, and the practices of the Jesuites?
A71273Yet instances we have of this Opus operatum, as''t is wrought in the Body, and why may not these help us to apprehend what may be done in the Soul?
A71273and are you the only wise men of the world, and are all the Churches else in dotage?
A71273and back their Discourses with their example to lead them unto Conformity?
A71273and do they not many times speak* perverse things to that effect?
A71273and how is the Protestant Religion cry''d up for the flourishing condition of it under her Government?
A71273and instruct them in their duty to that their Spiritual Mother, as the Spouse of Christ?
A71273and who can deny the effect when we have God''s fiat for it?
A71273in abolishing the Forms of God''s Solemn Worship, with the Rites of Decency and Order to promote the same?
A71273or a Surplice over both?
A71273quid fiet?
A71273shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, or in the spirit of meekness?
A71273was not that as great a matter as this they stumble at?
A71273when we are about his Worship and Service shall we be prophane then, for fear we should be accounted Superstitious?
A71273— In this case, if they be Traitors heady, highminded,& c. Who will wonder?
A71273† Quid ergo, licet esse in fide infirmum, licet in errore positū permanere?
A71273⸫ Do not some of our Dissenters give the like Scandal to their Disciples?
A30390And I appeal to your conscience, whether it be a likelier way to advance Religion, fighting or suffering?
A30390And did you not cruelly persecute all those who opposed you?
A30390And first, The half of their Sermons were upon publick matters: and what did these concern the Souls of the poor people?
A30390And first, what think you of your rebellion?
A30390And for Communion, why should not sick persons receive on death- bed, when all the reasons of receiving are most strong?
A30390And for what end were you often so bitter to absents?
A30390And how impudently did the Church countermand the State, Anno 1648. even in Civil matters?
A30390And if they think it a fault, how comes it that none of them offers to disclaim it?
A30390And to conclude, how wretchedly did you abuse this?
A30390And was it not a contradiction, to make them swear against Worship in an unknown Tongue; and yet in that very Oath so to use it?
A30390And what cursed doctrine is it Naphthali broacheth concerning private persons their punishing of crimes in case of the supinnesse of the Magistrate?
A30390And what imaginable ground is there that the people shall all with their voice join in the Psalms, and not also in the Prayers?
A30390And what kind of reasons can you have, who plead so much for a liberty in Prayer, and yet allow none in making of Hymns?
A30390And what order was there in Families, morning and evening?
A30390And what strange doctrine is it, to tax an obedience to the Laws of the Kingdom( when in our consciences we can so do) as time- serving?
A30390And who should expect, that they who are so much against reverence to Sacred Houses, should likewise be against private Sacraments?
A30390And who taught you to separate it from the rest of the solemn worship, and not have it every Lords day?
A30390And why may not a Church- man officiat in a Surplice, as well as a penitent put on Sack- cloath?
A30390And ● ow unhandsome is it, that we will not testifie that reverence to God, we would shew to a man, were ● he but a few degrees above us?
A30390And, first, what a ridiculous fancy is it, to say, Children can be bound by their fathers Oath?
A30390And, first, why do not your Ministers join with our Courts for Church- discipline?
A30390As also, whether is it liker, that the Church then, alwayes in the fire of persecution, was purer then she is now?
A30390As for their persons and Gifts, where is Christian charity, that should make you slow to take up a bad impression upon slight grounds?
A30390As for your National Covenant, what a cruel imposing upon Consciences was it, to make a Nation swear an Oath, which they could not understand?
A30390Beside, are not your Meeter Psalms a device of men?
A30390Beside, where was it ever heard of, ● hat a Church- office was taken from any, without ● fault?
A30390Besides, who told you that all David''s Psalms were to be constantly used in Worship?
A30390But as for your Discipline, what warrand of Scripture have you for it?
A30390But further, in what place of Scripture read you your classical Subordination of Sessions to Presbyteries,& c?
A30390But how little were you in secret reproving faults?
A30390But if your grounds be good, where is your charity to the Church?
A30390But waving this, whether judge you the Presbyters power for Discipline is founded upon a Divine Law, or upon the Act of Parliament?
A30390But what can you pretend, for your peoples withdrawing from our Churches?
A30390But what great things of devotion, or holinesse, appear amongst you?
A30390But what unchristian work is it, thus to disgrace us?
A30390But why do you not believe the prayer composed by the Church, to be of the Spirits dictating, as well as that of your Ministers?
A30390But, are not most of you Apostates, Changlings, and Time- servers?
A30390But, how little reason will suffice to let a man see through that canting?
A30390But, who told you, it was in the Fathers Commission?
A30390C. And why may not you have a Directory for words, as well as things?
A30390C. God forbid but he be?
A30390C. Next, why wanted you Evangelists, since there are still men who have peculiar eminencies in preaching?
A30390C. This is like you, still to devise fancies against expresse Scripture; where sayes the Scripture, that was done to please the Jews?
A30390C. This ought to be the great design of our lives; for, wherein shall it avail us, if we shall gain the whole world, and lose our own souls?
A30390C. Truly I am sorry, I saw so little of it: what ● rreverence is it, that when prayer is in the ● hurch, most of you ● it on your breeches?
A30390C. Whether do you think it fitter in the Mysteries of ● aith to keep close to ● ● rms of Scripture or not?
A30390C. Who would not be sick with such pitiful folly?
A30390C. Why then doth he not determine how his Church should be governed, as to the civil matter, since Justice is a part of his Law, as well as devotion?
A30390Do you think prayer for a blessing, is not a prayer?
A30390Finally, what cruelty is it, if a Minister be put from his place, be it justly or unjustly, that the people should be starved?
A30390For your grea ● men, how strangely did they involve themselve ● in all businesses?
A30390Further, let one with a short- hand, follow that mans prayer, who you say prayes by the Spirit; then, may not that prayer be read and used over again?
A30390God bless me from the pride of comparing my self with these worthies, who were honoured to convert the world, and to die for the truth?
A30390How are all things there?
A30390How did the Apostle St. Paul become a Iew to the Iews?
A30390How fierce were you one against another, in your Papers, Sermons, and Prayers?
A30390How much good preaching there was amongst us?
A30390How often was that sacred Prince charged with Popery, Tyranny, and the Massacre of Ireland?
A30390How patent a way otherwise may this prove, for venting and broaching errours, and heresies?
A30390How well was the Sabbath observed amongst us?
A30390I shall end all this with an instance of great importance, who taught you the change of the Sabbath?
A30390I. SHall that which was design''d to end our toils, Increase our flames, and raise new broils; And must we triumph in our Brethrens spoils?
A30390In word, what jealousies had you justly raised in th ● hearts of Princes, of your Government?
A30390Is this the moderation you so much pro ● esse?
A30390Let me then examine you a little, how do you know your opinions are truths?
A30390Looks not this like the spirit of the Devil?
A30390May they not as well exercise Discipline, though they can not do it with all the liberty they desire?
A30390Must Rome be damn''d as Antichrist, Because it to unerring Chair pretends; And forth as Oracles its dictates sends?
A30390N. But all this is still contrary to the holy men of God: What sad complaints are in the Psalms and Prophets, and chiefly in the Lamentations?
A30390N. But are not we bound to duty to the King, because of the Allegeance our fathers swore, even though we never swear it our selves?
A30390N. But did not the Bohemians, under Zisca, fight and resist when the Challice was denied them?
A30390N. But doth not the Spirit help our infirmities, and teach us to pray?
A30390N. But how must we enter into that state of divine union?
A30390N. But how was Adam oblidged for his Posterity, if Parents can not binde their children?
A30390N. But if that was Rebellion, how did the late King of Britain give assistance to the Rochellers in the last Wars?
A30390N. But if we think you are wrong, can we joyn with you?
A30390N. But nothing of this can be alledged to palliat the French civil Wars?
A30390N. But what a confusion is it, that all say some of the prayers together, and use Amen?
A30390N. But what can you say for kneeling in receiving?
A30390N. But what say you to the Elders that rule well?
A30390N. But what vain repetitions are in the Liturgy?
A30390N. But why do not you sit?
A30390N. But why must it be done only by a Bishop ▪ as if it were beyond Baptism?
A30390N. Call you fighting for God and his Cause, rebellion?
A30390N. Did you never observe the great devotion ● our worship?
A30390N. Do you not wonder at my patience, who hear you inveigh so bitterly against us?
A30390N. Doth not the fathers debt oblidge the son?
A30390N. How can we acknowledg them our Pastors, who are intruders, and are in the places of our faithful shepherds, whom you have torn from us?
A30390N. How can we neglect the interests of Christ, and let them ruine, when we are in a capacity to defend them?
A30390N. How can you deny, that what is now cried down, was the work of God?
A30390N. How can you speak so, was not sin strangely born down in our dayes?
A30390N. How did they of Antioch send up to these at Ierusalem?
A30390N. How then do Parents vow for their children in Baptism?
A30390N. How then is Saul charged, and his children punished for killing the Gibeonites?
A30390N. How then must I examine any perswasion, to know if it be conscience, or not?
A30390N. I had resolved to have objected that to you, and I am sure we can not be guilty of it, since there is nothing we hate more?
A30390N. I see you are for set- forms: but what reason have you for them?
A30390N. I think this is very clear, but why do not you use the terms of the Protestant ● Church?
A30390N. Is this all then that is required to accomplish a Christian?
A30390N. No, no, but oh how doth my heart melt within me, when I remember how sweetly I have heard the Ministers there, clear up my interest in Christ?
A30390N. Now you tax us for what we were very free of: Was ever sin so boldly reproved, as in our Pulpits?
A30390N. The law of nature teacheth us to defend our selves, and so there is no need of Scripture for it?
A30390N. Well, but why do you remember bygones?
A30390N. Well, is not this a Popish Sacrament which you would bring into the Church?
A30390N. Well, what make you of all this?
A30390N. What can you say for holy dayes?
A30390N. What mean you by this converse with God?
A30390N. What say you of his Devotions, both private and publick?
A30390N. What say you then to these who died sealing their opinion, fighting for Religion, with their blood?
A30390N. What say you to the War in the Netherlands?
A30390N. What sort of devout men could these be?
A30390N. What then are the methods to be used by one that would lead a spiritual life?
A30390N. What then conclude you from all this; is it that the English Liturgy be brought in?
A30390N. What then is the great scope and design of Christian Religion?
A30390N. What then make you of them, since you d ● not allow them to be spiritual doctrine?
A30390N. What ● ay you of Justification by faith only?
A30390N. Wherein consists that sweetness you say is to be found in divine converse?
A30390N. Wherein could Episcopacy have been mor ● for the good of Scotland?
A30390N. Who can doubt of it?
A30390N. Whoever may object that, you may be silent; for what severity have we felt?
A30390N. Why do not you use it, since you can not refuse the Scripture more than we?
A30390N. You have sufficiently vindicated your self of Popery, but are you not Arminians?
A30390Next, How did your Leaders complain of Bishops their medling in matters of State: and yet when the Scene turned, how absolutely did they govern?
A30390Next, how want you Deacons?
A30390Next, in your Worship, why do you not kisse one another with a holy kisse?
A30390Next, why use you not washing of feet, since there is no Sacrament set down more punctually in Scripture?
A30390Now as to our publick transgressions( if they be such) we are all equally guilty, why then make you a difference?
A30390Now, if St. Paul did this freely, both to Jew and Gentile, are not you bound to more obedience, when not only charity, but duty to the Laws exact it?
A30390Now, tell me what are your quarrels at Episcopacy?
A30390Or do you think, the spirit is not stinted when the form is short, but only when it is long?
A30390Or, do you mean to lay aside the Scriptures?
A30390Psalm, in plain words, with a plain voice, as prayer, as well as in hobling ryme, with a Tune?
A30390Shall I not trust a man in any matter, without understanding how he will discharge it?
A30390Show me a reason why you may make prayers, and not praises?
A30390Then, what a tr ● pane was it, to make the Nation swear the Cov ● nant, and by an after- game to declare that Epi ● copacy was abjured in it?
A30390To conclude, why may not the Christian Church compose new Hymns, as they of Corinth did?
A30390Was not this for bread, to give them a stone?
A30390What fer ● our was on peoples mindes, when they heard Sermons?
A30390What heavenly prayers we poured out to God?
A30390What insolence was it, to assume bi ● names, of the godly party, and the people of God ● nd to call your way, The Cause and Kingdom o ● Christ?
A30390What man of common sense can thin ● this was the Cause of God, which had such mo ● struous errours in its first conception?
A30390Whether looks this like the Pharisees an ● Hypocrites, or not?
A30390Whether then, Is it not necessary to redress these abuses by a regular form?
A30390Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you?
A30390Who would not pity men who build upon such sandy foundations?
A30390Whom heard you preach against the love of the world, seeking of esteem, quarrelling, seeking of revenge, anxiety and passion?
A30390Why do you not therefore use this rite?
A30390Why may the Church impose such dayes of penitence, and not as well order all for the sins of the year to be in penitence all the time of Lent?
A30390Why then are ye so blind as to ● sk a reason for the change was made, as if at ● oon one should ask where were the Sun?
A30390Why then do not ye use the Glory to the Father?
A30390Why then do you not in this follow the express Scripture- rule?
A30390Why then do you not kneel or stand in Churches ● since you do so in secret, and in your Family- wor ● ship?
A30390],[ Edinburgh?
A30390and are not the spirits of the Prophets subject to the Prophets?
A30390and are not they bound by the Baptismal vow, taken by the father, in their name?
A30390and for the devotional part, who of you seem to live only to God, and consecrat your time and strength to divine exercises?
A30390and that Royal Family termed, the bloody- house?
A30390and truly a medling temper, look not like a devout one: but, what great spirituality appeared amongst most of them?
A30390and why in a place of repentance?
A30390and why not as well, if not rather in the one nor in the other?
A30390and why the use of Sack- cloath sometimes?
A30390are not our gracious Ministers taken from us?
A30390are you such a stranger in Israel, as not to know these things?
A30390beside, you who alwayes call for Scripture, ought quickly to be convinced here?
A30390bring Scripture for it?
A30390can any man make dayes holy?
A30390do not you think it a great matter, to take from us the pure and spiritual Worship of God, and in stead thereof, set up a dea ● and formal Liturgy?
A30390do not you think it sad, that Christ is not Preached?
A30390doth not that tacitly accuse God, as if he did not mind his Church as he ought?
A30390give away your goods to the poor?
A30390how have these words you dropt last united my heart to you?
A30390how many Ministers are turned out, and people oppressed for not owning you?
A30390how often redouble they, Lord have mercy upon us?
A30390how shall these pangs be recompensed, when we have broke thorow, and got into the blessed shades of the Garden of God?
A30390is not this the device of men?
A30390is not this to make us the servants of men, and to give them authority over our consciences; which is Gods peculiar power?
A30390is this ● o approach unto God with the reverence be ● omes dust and ashes?
A30390no doubt, you will say, the first: well then, can the abolishing that Act of Parliament take away your power?
A30390or doth it not imply if we were of his council, we could adjust things better?
A30390or what could th ● Kings reason be, for preferring it to Presbytery at least for judging it fitter for us?
A30390or, is the Spirit in the prayer so volatile, that it evaporats in the saying, and the prayer becomes carnal when it is repeated?
A30390since our Saviour did institute this rite in the Table- gesture?
A30390who are mortifying themselves even in the lawfull pleasures of sense?
A30390who are willing to be set at nought?
A30390who bear crosses without murmurings?
A30390who bear injuries without resentments and revenge?
A30390who of you despise the world?
A30390why do you not anoint the sick with oyl, as St. Iames commandeth?
A30390why not also his oath?
A30390why should they be confined to one charge, and not to be made to preach over a countrey, as they shall be called?
A30390why then are we to vex our selves with any anxiety?
A5757918. Who am I, O Lord God?
A575796?
A57579After I had conversed with the Dead, am I now among the Living?
A57579Alas, where had you and I been long ago, had God dealt with us according to our Sins?
A57579And do we deserve better usage at the hands of God?
A57579And do we think that his Patience will always let us alone, and not, after it has been the witness of our Idleness, turn to Fury, and cut us down?
A57579And how odious must the Memory of such an one be that so made himself away?
A57579And is that a frame that becomes a Creature and a Sinner, to his great Creator and final Judge?
A57579And shall we not delight to draw nigh to so good a God, to whom is an easy Access through the Mediation of Christ?
A57579And what is it when the Soul that gave it all its pleasant sensations, all its comlyness and lustre, is fled away?
A57579And why should God be so good to you, and not to the rest of Men?
A57579Be not over- much wicked, neither be thou foolish; why shouldst thou dy before the time?
A57579But do you know what it is to die?
A57579But what Miseries and Desolations have our Sins deserved, our Original Corruption and all that impure Offspring that has descended from it?
A57579Can we so soon forget those dismal Hours when our Hearts beat with Fear, and we thought every Minute would be the last?
A57579Can we so soon forget what Thoughts and Apprehensions we then had?
A57579Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish People and unwise?
A57579Do you not think your selves concern''d to eat and to drink, and to procure to your selves other Gratifications of Life notwithstanding this?
A57579For shall we more easily part with things sumptuous and splendid, than with things that are meaner and less suited to a fleshly Mind and Life?
A57579For what Good might two such great and holy Men have done, the one in Israel, and the other in England?
A57579He has beseech''d and entreated us to forsake our Sin, crying to every one of us, Wilt thou not be made clean?
A57579How busie and how unwearied is the Devil for our Ruin?
A57579How can we ask our daily Bread from our most gracious Master, if we lay not out the refreshment we receive from it in his own Service?
A57579How careful was he to set aside some of his Gains for the Charitable Relieving of the Poor?
A57579How cold are our warmest praises to theirs above, who are all in admiration, Extasie and Love?
A57579How freely dos he do us good when we could lay no Obligation at all upon him?
A57579How little charming then were all its gayest Smiles, and how little terrible all its frowning Threats?
A57579How many are dead since you were first ill?
A57579How many are now in their Graves, over whom it may be truly writ, This Man killed himself with drinking?
A57579How many are their Cares and Designs about it?
A57579How many are there dead, since I was ill?
A57579How many excellent Ministers whom you must never hear again?
A57579How many of your Friends, your Neighbours, and your Fellow- Citizens are there, in whom there are no Signs of Life at all?
A57579How many others has his Displeasure struck dead, whilst he suffers us that were as great Sinners as they were, to live?
A57579How many thousand times do we sin every day?
A57579How much Evil do we commit that we ought to forbear?
A57579How much better is the voice of Gladness than the voice of Sorrow?
A57579How much more desireable is it to such an one to be speaking in the Pulpit than to be silent in the Grave?
A57579How much more pleasant is it to spend a day, yea many days, in chearful Praises, than to spend one hour in Sighs and painful Groans?
A57579How often has his Justice seiz''d us for our Sins, and call''d upon him to cut us off, and his Mercy has interposed and saved our Lives?
A57579How often have we said, that we should one day fall by this or that Distress, and he has held us up from our Birth to this very time?
A57579How will they rise early and sit up late for a good Bargain, or a little Profit; and shall not we do as much to save our Souls for ever?
A57579I have cause to do so; for how many has he suffered to sink, when the Waves were not so high against them, as those that rowl''d over me?
A57579I speak to those of you that have been sick, having been so my self; with what care and Compassion did this good God remember us?
A57579I will hear his Word with more Reverence, and read it with more Care?
A57579I will with more frequency and impartiality it search and try my own Soul?
A57579If we abuse his Mercy, what Plea can we hope to make?
A57579If we look but upon a Friend an hour after he is dead, how is his Countenance changed?
A57579In the same is our Life to finish, our Works to be examined, and we are then to know how it will go with us for ever and ever?
A57579Is it not a wonderful thing that so great a God will take care of us when he needs not our Services, nor all the Duties we are able to perform?
A57579Is it to much purpose to paint a little Dust and Ashes?
A57579Is this the manner of Man, O Lord God?
A57579It is a saying to which dayly Experience gives a Confutation: For how many are there that are groaning under Pains both very long, and very sharp?
A57579It is easy to kill and ruin and destroy, that we can all do too well; but who can recover and save but he alone?
A57579Let us pray for them as we would for our selves in the like case; who knows but God will hear our Prayers for them also?
A57579Let us sin no more, for after such a deep distress, and such a miraculous deliverance how hateful will our Sins be?
A57579Let us that have been sick, consider what an interruption that Sickness has made in our Life?
A57579Lord, what is Man, that thou art mindful of him?
A57579O what Miseries belong to Men, which you have yet escaped, and for which you have great cause to be very thankful?
A57579O, can I ever do too much for that God that has done so much for me?
A57579Oh what Faith, what Courage, what Strength is necessary to Conquer the Fears of Death, and Death it self?
A57579Oh what a Joy would it be, if God would save England with a Spiritual Deliverance; if he would save us from those Sins that expose us to his Wrath?
A57579Oh what a comfortable thought is this?
A57579Oh what a pleasant thing is it to a Believer to have the sweet foretastes of heaven here, and hereafter to enter into the joy of his Lord?
A57579Shall we affront his mildest and most tender Attribute?
A57579Shall we trample on his Forbearance, and on his very Bowels?
A57579So in this Case we may say what manner of persons ought they to be who must quickly go into Eternity?
A57579Some will say, What need we to pray for long Life?
A57579That when I had mock''d him with so many cold and lazy Prayers, he should give me opportunity to pray again?
A57579Then we may say indeed, Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave where is thy victory?
A57579Thou hast delivered my Soul from Death, wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before thee in the Land of the Living?
A57579Was not this our Language, If I may have but a few more Talents bestowed upon me, I will emprove them better than I did before?
A57579We are Pilgrims and shall we be so industrious to plant and build, and sow in a strange Country, when we confess we are distant from our home?
A57579We did then live many days and years in ease, but how few of all those did we really spend for the Glory of God and our own Salvation?
A57579We have wanted nothing, God has maintained us all our days, and shall we sin against Goodness and Love it self, such great, such undeserved Love?
A57579We praise God here on Earth but alass how low and how weak are our Praises to what he deserves for his own Excellencies, and for his Mercy to us?
A57579Were there any peculiar Excellencies in you more than in others to recommend you to his Favour?
A57579What Care do men use if they are but about to Transplant themselves into some Foreign Countrey, what Inquiries do they make about it?
A57579What Company was it which we then most admired?
A57579What Curses may come to you who have careless Parents that suffer you to wander in the way of death?
A57579What Havock and Murder, and Desolation is made in the World by the force of the Sword and the violence of unjust Wars?
A57579What Man would set himself to adorn his Inn, from which he may dislodge the next morning, and it may be, never see it any more?
A57579What Prince is there that would give money from his Treasures to carry on a War against his own Crown, or to support a Rebel?
A57579What Thing, what Service is there, that I may set about, to testify my Thanks to my gracious Benefactor?
A57579What a Comfort is it to the Children of good Parents, that they can pray to their Fathers and their Mothers God?
A57579What a Mercy do you enjoy to be brought from a state of Wrath and Condemnation, into a state of Peace and Favour?
A57579What a Mercy is it to have Life and time wherein to perform so many good Works for the advantage of our Neighbours?
A57579What a cold damp did the sight of death bring upon all our former joys?
A57579What a low and contemptible thing did this so much adored World seem to be when we were just about to leave it?
A57579What a mercy is it when a man after many long and weary steps on Earth is going stored with Experiences and a well- grown Faith to his Journeys end?
A57579What a vain thing is our Body, and how vain are the Projects of Men for the preservation of it?
A57579What am I that I should live by thy Goodness, when I have so often deserved to die by thy Justice?
A57579What am I, a poor Worm of the Earth, that thou shouldst so mercifully regard me?
A57579What am I, that when I had spent so much of my Time to little purpose, thou shouldst give me still more time?
A57579What an Impression many times does an unbecoming Word leave upon the Hearer for many years after?
A57579What can a miserable Beggar add unto a Prince that gives him an Alms?
A57579What can we by our mean Acknowledgments return to the Mighty God?
A57579What can we poor Creatures give to so good a God for all his Mercies?
A57579What cause have we that are returned to some measure of Health, to return Thanks to God for it?
A57579What cause of Joy should we have, if the Mercies we have already received were sanctified and improved?
A57579What did we then think of time, when our glass was even running out, and our day covered with the shadows of the night?
A57579What does the Great God obtain by all his Acts of Bounty to his Creatures, but a Revenue of praise?
A57579What is all the Meat and Drink that refresh our Bodies, to that Heavenly Manna, that Celestial Nourishment that an healthful holy Soul feeds upon?
A57579What shall I do that may bear some proportion with so great a Mercy?
A57579What shall we do for that God, who is the God of our Lives; who has taught us what we are to do by a very sharp and terrible Visitation?
A57579What vexations may you Parents meet withal in disobedient Children, that may send you mourning to the dust?
A57579What will your softest Raiment and your finest Cloaths avail a decaying Body, which God hath clothed with the Garment of Heaviness?
A57579What would the poor People in Hungary and in the Palatinate, give to have so much peace and quiet, as we now injoy?
A57579When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the Night be gone?
A57579When I look back upon the rough Waves, and the stormy Seas, I am ready to say, Can it be that God has brought me safe to Land?
A57579When shall we all be thankful if not now, when he has cast our Lot in an Age of Wonders and of Mercies?
A57579When we were near to Death, what Seriousness, what Zeal, what Holiness did we then vow to God?
A57579When will our hearts glow with Love to God, if not when his Sun shines upon us with such comfortable and reviving Beams?
A57579Where is his former Comeliness and Beauty, his ancient Grace or his lovely Features?
A57579Which of us would suffer a barren and unfruitful Tree to Cumber the Ground for many years?
A57579Which of you would keep a Servant in your Family, and give him all necessary Accommodations, and yet be content to see none of your Work done?
A57579Who is it that by constant Exercises of Religion makes his Family as a Little Church when he is at home?
A57579Who is it that walks so circumspectly, as to be unblameable, and without Offence?
A57579Who is there among us that hath those serious and abiding and lively Thoughts of God that he ought to have?
A57579Who is there that in his Trade and worldly Business maintains his Commerce with Heaven, and with spiritual and pious Ejaculations?
A57579Whom did we esteem the most excellent and happy People?
A57579Why is Light given to a Man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
A57579Why should we set our selves with so much application to regard our Bodies?
A57579Will all the Finery in the World procure for us a sweeter slumber in the Dust?
A57579Will you come and stand before me and say you are delivered to do all these abominations?
A57579Would we have him to spread our Table, and to fill our Cup, that we may sin against him?
A57579Would you not with Anger turn him off?
A57579am I now with People under Hope?
A57579and how much Good that we ought to perform, do we let alone?
A57579and if we knew not what to do in our former trouble, what shall we do in the next and more terrible Visitation?
A57579and shall we shrink at any Labor, when we have the advantage of that evil Spirit?
A57579and what is my House, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
A57579blessed be the Name of the Lord, I am?
A57579how afraid was he of imposing upon others, or of cheating them with many good words, whilst he had deceitful intentions in his heart?
A57579how rare a thing is this mutual praise?
A57579or the Son of Man, that thou visitest him?
A57579that a God whom I had so frequently and so heinously provoked, should spare me to recover Strength?
A57579that so I may repent of my careless Hearing, my Lukewarmness and my Unbelief?
A57579what need we sollicite God to no purpose, or tire him with our Prayers?
A57579what other end does he design in all his Mercies?
A57579when shall it once be?
A26964''T is an hard question, whether all Children in England be regularly admitted( as you may expound the words) by Baptism into the Church, yea or not?
A26964A little before the black Bartholomew, one of the foresaid in discourse enquired of me, what mine intentions were?
A26964And are not Children in our days received by Baptism in the same way, and upon the same terms and conditions, as from the beginning?
A26964And now why tarriest thou?
A26964And why will you lay a charge upon these, of doing what in reason ye can not but be convinced they are not in a condition to perform?
A26964But I forbear to bring in any new Objections, only give me leave to ask you this question, How you can fairly wave this dispute?
A26964But I would gladly be informed how, and in what manner this evil Spirit fled?
A26964But how?
A26964But if you will thus incroach presumptuously from your own head and heart, why am I bound to give credit unto you?
A26964But in the interim I wonder how the Bride and the Bridegroom could abide by it?
A26964But in the interim, are not they guilty of Sacriledge?
A26964But is nothing more expected from them?
A26964But is the devil capable of smelling?
A26964But is this a reason, say you, to break Communion with a Church, let any man judge?
A26964But it is now more than high time to be serious; Has therefore a Spirit flesh and bones?
A26964But now are the Condemned ever known to escape from the Hangman, after he has Noosed them in the Halter, and actually trussed them up?
A26964But now is this their chief study and intendment?
A26964But now shall their Babes upon this account be denyed their birth- right?
A26964But now shall these be thought worthy to be the Embassadours of God, and the Representatives of Christ?
A26964But now who are their under- shepherds?
A26964But now who shall presume to tell, as to hic& nunc( when this and another Child is baptized) concerning the certain concurrence of both these?
A26964But quo warranto?
A26964But though the good man slept with his eyes open, how could two sparrows joyn by a Conspiracy against him to make him blind?
A26964But what do you imagine, the Declaration binds the Minister only to say over those Prayers, and not to pray them, or pray in them?
A26964But what is it not enough that we are removed ab Officio& Beneficio, unless also we be further persecuted and torn in pieces by the Secular Powers?
A26964But whether?
A26964But who is the man?
A26964But why?
A26964But why?
A26964But you say, Can not we approve of the use of a Book, or approve of a Book, as lawful to be used, as well as assent and consent to the use of it?
A26964But you say, Nothing of Apocrypha is appointed for Sundays; whoever laid this to your charge?
A26964But you would know of me, whether nothing be undoubtedly certain by Scripture, but what we have an express Text for?
A26964But, say you, Why, or how then can there be any publick Sanctions in the world?
A26964Can these things be brought to pass, and effected, while God- children are down upon their knees, and ask their Godfathers blessing?
A26964Could he not have gone and opened the window for a little while, and relieved himself with the fresh and sweet Air?
A26964Death hath eased you of many of us already; and can not you quietly expect a little longer, and we shall all retire, and trouble you no more?
A26964Did you ever confer with them in private about the greatness and momentousness of their Font- ingagements?
A26964Did you ever in good earnest, either in the Pulpit; or out of the Pulpit, mind them of their duty?
A26964Do you think it lawful and expedient to stile every one of that sort, dear brother?
A26964For what is a Sacrament?
A26964From whence?
A26964Has a Spirit corporal parts, and bodily members?
A26964Here you say, I am a man of Conscience, that is of no Conscience at all, of a tender Conscience, that is cauteriz''d: But why?
A26964Honey and Milk are under your tongue; yet what is the reason of all this rancour and bitterness?
A26964How can we know the Law- makers intended, or will admit of any such a Subaudi?
A26964How does covetousness blind our eyes?
A26964How does evil custom impose upon our reason and judgment?
A26964How know you that the Church supposeth these words, Regularly admitted by Baptism?
A26964How quickly might the said person reply upon you, to your shame and confusion, in this or the like manner?
A26964How shall the Children of these, how scrupulous soever they be,( as you avouch they may) come to their Christendom?
A26964I answer, Be it so; but withall, pray let us see what ponderous Reasons you can bring for it?
A26964I answer, What is this to the matter before us?
A26964I profess I am at my wits end here, as in several other places, to find what you drive at; how then shall I fence my self against you?
A26964If he slept, how came it to pass that his eyes were open?
A26964Is any man found guilty of a much less hainous Indictment, and yet discharged without giving Sureties for his behaviour?
A26964Is it not, according to the Catechism, an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace?
A26964Is not the sign of the Cross an outward and visible sign?
A26964Is this as a Conjunction of equality, or onely of aliquality?
A26964Now you would know of the scrupulous Non- conformist, whether this rule be given to the publick Officers of the Church, or to the private Christian?
A26964Of whom?
A26964Or can you express your hope before God, even sure and certain hope, of his resting in Christ, and eternal happiness?
A26964Quis tale legendo Temperet a risu?
A26964Shall a pitiful order of the Church in Comparison over- rule and obtain?
A26964Shall it be heeded and observed by the Minister more than the Regia placita of heaven it self?
A26964Shall not their Cattel, and their substance, and every beast of theirs be ours?
A26964Shall they be denyed a priviledge so excellent and so desirable?
A26964Shall this Christian assembly believe what is read unto them, or shall they not believe?
A26964Shall we obey God or Man?
A26964So vast a difference there is between being in Communion where faults are( for what Church is free from them?)
A26964Then the young man said to the Angel, to what use is the heart, the liver, and Gall of the fish?
A26964These are a swarming multitude; and yet shall all these undoubtedly be saved?
A26964Though they are young, do they not make a number in computation?
A26964Well, he comes, and on the contrary sees their Children strong and well; ought he now to baptize them according to the private or publick form?
A26964What as the Parables of our Saviour do?
A26964What can be said more, if the most Holy Martyr, or confessour, if Stephen again were carried to his Burial?
A26964What must a 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, our utter ruine and destruction be the Epilogue?
A26964What need the Cross, if washing with water could sufficiently bring about its own ends?
A26964What now will you answer to his Questions?
A26964What reverence and honour can be paid to such persons by the people; which is most absolutely necessary for the success of their Ministry?
A26964What signal service do such great Doctors, and Pluralists perform unto God and his Church?
A26964What strong convincing, and Cogent Motives of credence wrought you into this perswasion, and brought you into this mind?
A26964What therefore of help and remedy shall be found in the Case?
A26964What think you of S. Coleman the Traytor?
A26964What would you have him to do?
A26964What, Sir, do you think what you speak?
A26964What, are we in earnest, or in jest?
A26964What, shall the Fables of Apochrypha beavouched, to serve for instruction, comfort and reproof as the Parables of our Saviour do?
A26964What?
A26964What?
A26964Where speaking of those who were saved in Noah''s Ark by water, he subjoyns, the like Figure whereunto even Baptism doth also now save us?
A26964Wherefore I would humbly and peaceably enquire of you, Whether Conformists may not be Sacrilegious as well as Non- conformists?
A26964Who knows?
A26964Who, in this case, shall set the limits, and say, Ne plus ultra?
A26964Why should you presume to set such limits, to put such a close Hedge about the Rubrick, when it lies open, and in common?
A26964Why this rather then any of the rest, which are altogether Ejusdem farinae of the same leven?
A26964You say, And what is more required?
A26964You say, Is not Baptism said to be for remission of sins?
A26964You say, My reasoning against the Cross is so trifling, that you wonder with what face any can urge it?
A26964You should have rather queried, About what this rule is given?
A26964You therefore deserve a rebuke from your Superiours for your presumptuous intrusion; who made you of their counsel?
A26964and particularly to be instructed concerning the nature and quality of those solemn baptismal promises made on their behalf?
A26964and so what have I to do with the Curiosity and intreague of the Kalendar in this particular?
A26964and whither I would conform, yea or not?
A26964are we not abased sufficiently?
A26964but with what forehead could you utter it?
A26964can meerly taking holy Orders, take away the name and thing of what we call Sacriledge?
A26964can the putting on a canonical habit, put off all guilt and demerit in that kind?
A26964can these be supposed to have a throne in the hearts of the people, and to speak unto them with all authority and power?
A26964can these rule over the house of God?
A26964can you then with a good Conscience say, God in great mercy hath taken his Soul to himself?
A26964could he not have provided himself with a counter- charm?
A26964could he not have smelled out before hand what was consulted against him?
A26964could he not( as I have said) have stopped his nose, and kept out the stink?
A26964do ye envy our being and breathing amongst you?
A26964do you understand the Kings mind, and his true intent and meaning herein?
A26964does the Declaration only bind you to rehearse the Articles of it before the Congregation, and not believe them your self?
A26964has a devil the Organs of carnal sense?
A26964has he a palat to taste, as man tasteth?
A26964has he any word of Exhortation to stir them up to pay their Vows, and bind their Consciences to a due care and faithfulness herein?
A26964has he ears to hear, as man heareth?
A26964has he eyes to see, as man seeth?
A26964has he fingers to touch, as man toucheth?
A26964have ye not all in possession?
A26964have you kill''d him?
A26964how can you think it not incumbent upon you to make good the Assertion, and justifie what you have assented and consented unto?
A26964how do they answer the trust reposed in them?
A26964how good and faithful are they in their Steward- ship?
A26964is it odious and detestable Sacriledge in one person, and not in another?
A26964is this the end of the Church''s bounty and liberality?
A26964is this their constant imploy and negotiation?
A26964or do they not require continuance of time, with a continual care and diligence?
A26964or else to ruine and undo us, by turning us out a grazing in the woful wild of extreme poverty and want?
A26964or govern my Faith and Practice by your private Sentiments?
A26964or has he a nose to smel, as man smelleth?
A26964or whether he changed himself into the shape of any Fowl, Stork, long wing''d Hawk or the like?
A26964or why they should not be mentioned and appointed in Scripture?
A26964should this be your answer?
A26964that is, not to believe what he prays for to be right, and according to Gods holy will and pleasure?
A26964that they are all undoubtedly saved?
A26964what can more fully declare the love and favour of God towards it, and place it in Heaven?
A26964what does not the Declaration bind you to believe it your self, as well as to teach it the Children?
A26964what evil in it?
A26964what is our desert?
A26964what is the cause ye can not speak peaceably of us, or to us?
A26964what need therefore of that grave Item and Caution?
A26964what our provocation?
A26964what think you of the Creed?
A26964what use do they make of their vast incomes and salaries?
A26964what, is all meer formality without reality?
A26964whether by any Magical operation he changed himself into the shape of any Beast, Dromedary, Gray- hound or the like?
A26964who can discover this inscrutable secret?
A26964who hath authorized the Church to lay such a charge upon any, besides the Parents upon whom God has laid it?
A26964who hath known the mind of God herein?
A26964who shall take on them to determine which is most intelligible, and most edifying to the people, either the holy Scripture, or any other writings?
A26964who their substitutes, and under- feeders?
A26964why should you insert the word use, which they never inserted?
A26964why should you leave out, or put in any thing without their Commission?
A26964why was it not enjoyned us thus to declare, I assent and consent to the use and doing of all and every thing contained,& c?
A26964why was not this word openly mentioned and expressed?
A26964will you bring in your last mentioned plea, and think to help and justifie your self by it?
A68984& be beaten of thine enemie, thē be kissed of thy friend?
A68984& is it not possible for our liues to make vs bretheren in loues?
A68984& learne the witch- craft of Rebellion?
A68984& thine enemies liue from thee?
A68984& vnderstand it not, then vnderstand it, and beleeue it?

A68984Baby, sucke thy dambe, till thou bee a dizard; vvilt thou abide no company, but thine one kindred?
A68984Beautie thine Eyes?
A68984But hadst thou rather see a bare haruest, a naked tree, a thin Meadow, and a blasted vineyard?
A68984But let me come to particulars; Doest thou murmure at this man, or that man, for this cause, or that cause?
A68984Can the labourer, the foote be vvounded?
A68984Canne the Eye of the bodie bee hurt, or greeued, and neither the head, heart, nor any other member bee touched vvith the paine of it?
A68984Coran, Dathan, and Abiram, murmured at Moses: what became of them?
A68984Did he hunt thine heires from their possessiōs?

A68984Doest thou murmure at his pleasures, and loue the same thy selfe?
A68984Doeth he hunt and delight in Dogges?
A68984Haddest thou rather gnaw vpō a crust, then haue a whole loafe?
A68984Hadst thou rather ride a hard trotter, thē an ambler?
A68984Hovv canst thou be so vile of disposition, or senceles of good, as to murmure at so great a blessing, as God hath giuē thee in his gouernmēt?
A68984How should the King gouerne, and the Subiect bee gouerned, but by the course of Lawe?
A68984How wouldest thou haue thy vvrongs redressed, if there vvere no power of Iustice?
A68984If the head of the bodie ake, vvill not the heart bee greatly greeued?
A68984In God?
A68984Is it not the comfort of the heart?
A68984Is not vnion a kind of marriage, vvrought by the hands of God?
A68984Iudas murmured at the Boxe of Oyle, that vvas poured on Christs head: What vvas his reward?
A68984Josephs brethren murmured at him: what became of them?
A68984Let vs see, vvher is the fault, vvhat is the cause?

A26923Might not the Church have lived with such in Peace?

A26923No: For, 1. most Christians in the World hold, that Perseverance is uncertain to the godly; and how can they be certain of it to themselves?
A26923No: I ask you, Did he confound them before Christ''s Incarnation, who thought that more than the Jews were saved?
A26923Or are they Creatures in esse intentionali?
A26923Or as a Condition?
A26923Or as it receiveth his Righteousness only?

A26923Or is this a convincing way of reasoning?
A26923Or may others after them make also a new Christianity?
A26923Or only as in his Priestly Office?
A26923Or the Verity of a Proposition?
A26923Or the veritas conceptus Divini de rerum futuritione?
A26923Or to love God habitually, and live holily?
A26923Or to overcome greater Temptations, and persevere?
A26923Or when there was nothing but God, did Nothingness bind God?
A26923Or whether Christ''s Will and Operations should be said to be One or Two?

A26923The common disputed question is, Whether all men have Grace sufficient to believe?

A26923The form enquired of, is Quid morale?
A26923The same ● say of his words( if futures be futures without the Divine will, what horrible Fate must be upon God?)
A26923The verit ● rei futurae?
A26923The word[ Rewardable] is long and oft harsh: And what other have we?
A26923Therefore all that remaineth, is to resolve what is the reason of the certain effect when we believe?
A26923Therefore being agreed of the fact and event, we must be agreed of the Intention or Decree, and what needs there more?

A27045And then have we not cause to pray God to bless us from the company of your Priests?
A27045And then w ● at historicall testimony will they believe?
A27045And then why did they not charge this defection from the Pope upon them, among their hainous crimes?
A27045And to what purpose talk you of determinate Congregations?
A27045And what can a Protestant say more against the Vice- Christship, and your novelties?
A27045And what fitter English have we for the Kings deputy in a distant Kingdom, who is Vice Regis, then the Vice- King?

A27045Are all the mysteries of your succession and mission resolved into Popular Consent?
A27045Are not these the most common titles that Papists give them, and that they take unto themselves?
A27045Are you ashamed of the very Cause or Title of it, which you will have necessary to our salvation?
A27045Are you still in jest?
A27045As to your citation what can I say?
A27045Audeat ergo aliquis dicere, illos errasse qui tradiderunt?
A27045But all the doubt is, by whom this Tradition that''s valid, must be By your Pastors, or people, or both?
A27045But do they indeed believe themselves?
A27045But do you in good earnest think that all such addresses, or appeals are ad superiorem judicem?
A27045But how and by whom; and with what Evidence?
A27045But if somewhat must be explicitely( that is, Actually) believed, the Question that you should have answered was,[ What is it?]
A27045But if your words were there to be found, what are they to your purpose?
A27045But is not this to say nothing while you pretend to speak?
A27045But must the Prince and people let alone delinquent Pastors for fear of being blamed for taking their Bishopricks?
A27045But that Nestorius was condemned by a Council needs no proof: And what if Celestine began and first condemned him?
A27045But what have you from this Council against this Council?
A27045But what if the Archbishop of Canterbury sate highest, and subscribed first in England?
A27045But what if you had put the Question, At what time it was that your Church began to claim this universal Dominion?

A27045But why were not the antecedent words of the Bishop of Antioch and his Clergy as valid to the contrary, as Iuvenals for this?
A27045But you ask again[ Did those Heathen Emperours give it him?]
A27045By Pope, or Councils, or Bishops disjunct?
A27045By the Major part of the Church, or Bishops( or Presbyters) or the Minor?
A27045Can any writing make any matter plainer to you, then that Bread is Bread, and Wine is Wine, when you see them, and tast, and eat, and drink them?
A27045Can they say[ ex hac omnes?]
A27045Can you have any thing brought to a surer judgement then to all your senses?
A27045Can you prove this Consequence?
A27045Did all the rest arise from Rome?
A27045Did hell ever hatch worse hypocrisie then this that he fathers on his holiest Pope?
A27045Did not Cyprian believe that this was a Law of Christ before Stephen medled in that business?
A27045Did the Council speak a word for your power without the Empire?
A27045Did this prove Acacius the Vice- Christ?
A27045Did you think that it proved the Pope to be the Vice- Christ?
A27045Do I need then to say any more to disprove his universal Headship, and that Rome is not the Catholike Ruling Church?
A27045Do you build upon such foundations?
A27045Do you leave that to be varied as a thing indifferent?
A27045Do you mean individual assemblies?
A27045Do you mean, that he must have this jure divino, or humano?
A27045Do you not see now whither your Implicite faith hath brought you?
A27045Do you think to satisfie any reasonable man by calling for positive proof from Authors, of such Negatives?
A27045Domini nostri Iesu Christi?
A27045Dorylaei had read his bill of complaint?
A27045Doth he charge the other Patriarchs and Bishops to give it no man?
A27045Doth it follow that he was Governour of all the world?
A27045Doth it follow that therefore I am out of the Church?
A27045Doth not Boverius( cited in my Key) labour to prove him the Vicar of Christ, and to be Vice Christi?
A27045Doth not your Definition agree to a Provincial, or the smallest Council?
A27045For what shall not be lawful for the authority of so great a Bishop to exercise upon the Churches?
A27045Had he that authority( think you) from an Heathen Emperour?
A27045Had not the people in all former ages the choice of their Pastors?
A27045Have you had all these Nations man by man before your bar, and convinced them of pertinaciousness in heresie?
A27045How came St. Cyprian, in time of the Heathen Empire to request Stephen the Pope to punish and depose the Bishop of Arles, as we shall see hereafter?
A27045How came it to pass that the Fathers did labour no more to convince them of that( now supposed) fundamentall Errour?
A27045How could there be a Church protesting against an universal Vicar of Christ, before any claimed that Vicarship?
A27045How frequent is it with you to appropriate the name of[ the Church] to the Clergy?
A27045How gross a subterfuge is this?
A27045How is it possible they should actually reject both the Doctrine and Communion of the Pope and Roman Church?
A27045How is it that we find not this point disputed by them on both sides, yea and as copiously as the rest, when it would have ended all?
A27045How many Bishops, and from what parts must( ad esse) make such a Council?
A27045How many restored he out of the Empire?
A27045How shall we know who hath this power?
A27045How should any Heresie be opposed or condemned before it doth arise?
A27045How then could he censure the name as undue, injurious, prophane, and blasphemous, if he owned the Thing?
A27045How unconstant are you among your selves in the use of terms?
A27045I know no name so fitted to the reall controversie?
A27045I pray tell me how you can avoid it?
A27045I she therefore the Universal Bishop?
A27045If Christianity had ever ceased in the world, how came it to be new planted, and revived?
A27045If a piece of the Church may turn Hereticks, or but Schismaticks, as the Novatians, and African Donatists, why may not another piece turn Papists?
A27045If not, must they all take the words of their present Teachers?
A27045If that were true, yet what''s that to all the rest?
A27045If you askt, Whether men rule not Angels?
A27045If you believe this Synod, the Controversie is at end: If you do not, why do you cite it?
A27045Is Consecration necessary?
A27045Is it a Council if difficulties keep away all?
A27045Is it any lawful Pastors, or All, that must necessarily be depended on by every member?
A27045Is it because that more is Revealed to us?
A27045Is it no Schism to separate from a particular Church, unless from the whole?
A27045Is it none, if you make a Division in the Church, and not from the Church?
A27045Is it not now a fair Argument that you offer?
A27045Is it that he must do it in Love for their good?
A27045Is my obedience to each Priest as necessary, as my belief of every Article of my faith?
A27045Is no one way of Election necessary?
A27045Is not the Bible, a publick Testimony and record, and being universally received, is an universal Tradition?
A27045Is that too general?
A27045Is the opposition and obstinacy that makes Heresie, in the Intellect or will?
A27045Is this argument good think you?
A27045Is this disunion, think you, fit to make one and the same Congregation of you and them?
A27045Iustinian deposed Sylverius and Vigilius: Will you confess it therefore justly done?
A27045May none but Bishops and chief Prelates be members, as you intimate?
A27045Must it needs be against the Formal object of Faith?
A27045Must it not represent all the Catholike Church?
A27045No man contradicted this: And is not this as much or more, then you alledge as spoke to Leo?
A27045Or is it necessary to their salvation?
A27045Or is it no Schism, unless willfull?
A27045Or was he so silly as not to know that this might have been retorted on him?
A27045Purposely opening the true nature of the Catholick Church for the stating of the Case, saith,[ Quaestio certè inter nos versatur, ubi sit Ecclesia?
A27045Quid ergo facturi sumus?
A27045Reader, IF thou meet me at the threshold with a[ What need any more against Popery then is written?]
A27045So what doth it concern my Salvation to know whether the Church of Rome be now a true particular Church?
A27045Tell me now whether you said true in the Paragraph about the Title Vice- Christ?
A27045The Pope can punish the Bishop of Antioch: But how?
A27045The foundation of all our controversie is doctrinal, whether the Papal Soveraignty be Essential to the Church?
A27045Therefore the Question between us should not be, when it ceased, but when it begun to be such a Capital Ruling Church, Essential to the whole?
A27045Urge them with this as a granted truth, till they had renounced it?
A27045WHether the Church of which the Protestants are members have been visible ever since the daies of Christ on earth?
A27045Was Gregory Thaumaturgus no Bishop, because when he came first to Neocaesarea, he had but seventeen souls in his charge?
A27045Was not a Baptized person in the primitive and ancient Churches a true Church- member, presently upon Baptism?
A27045Was not the Church then purely Protestant in their Religion?
A27045Was the Popes Legate the whole Catholick Church?
A27045Was there one man at either of these Councils but within the Empire, yea a piece of the Empire?
A27045Were those primitive Christians of another kind of Church- order and Government, then were those under the Roman Empire*?
A27045What a silly ● or, what a wicked dissembling hypocrite, doth Bellarmine feign Pope Gregory to have been?
A27045What are all their disputings for, and all this stir that they make in the world, but to set up one man over all the earth?
A27045What if a man deny that there is a Christ, a Heaven, a Hell, or a Resurrection?
A27045What if ten of you write to me at once, is it fair for each one of you to call for an answer as hastily as if I had but one in hand?
A27045What if the people be engaged to one Prince, and afterward break their vow, and consent to a Usurper?
A27045What if they shew me the Bishops orders, and I know that many have had forged Orders?
A27045What is that faith in unity whereof all members of the Catholike Church do live?
A27045What many?
A27045What mean you by a sufficient proposal?
A27045What more common then to appeal or make such addresses to any that have advantage of interest, for the relief of the oppressed?
A27045What personal qualification is necessary ad esse?
A27045What proof, or notice of it, must satisfie me in particular, that it so past?
A27045What then?
A27045What then?
A27045What then?
A27045What then?
A27045What were these as many or more?
A27045What 〈 ◊ 〉, or proof is necessary to your Subjects?
A27045When and how must the institution of Christ be found?
A27045When the Roman Emperors were yet Heathens, had not the Bishop of Rome the Supremacy over all other Bishops through the whole Church?
A27045When was it that the Church of Rome ceased to be a true Church?
A27045Whether it be our duty to enter into reconciliation and communion with the Papist,( though not subjection) and on what terms?
A27045Whether it be the right and safe Religion?
A27045Whether it may be tolerated?
A27045Whether the Church of Rome was a true Church in the Apostles dayes?
A27045Whether the Church, of which the Protestants are Members, have been Visible ever since the dayes of Christ on earth?
A27045Whether the substance of all our cause lie not in this Question, Whether the Papacy or universal Government by the Pope, be of heaven, or of men?
A27045Whether was Bellarmine or Gregory the wiser man?
A27045Which of these is it that you deny?
A27045Who will believe a Saint to be so diabolical, that calls it an imitation of the Devil?
A27045Why did not all the precedent Roman Bishops disclaim the title of universal Bishop or Patriarch, till Pelagius and Gregory?
A27045Why exclude you the chief Pastors, that depend on none?
A27045Why may not the Donatists, the Novatians, or the Greeks( much more) do so as well as Papists?
A27045Will any Diocess serve ad esse?
A27045Will any ones election prove one to be Pope?
A27045Will esteeming them fit, serve turn though they be unfit?
A27045Will it follow that if the Eucharist be not Accidental or integral, but Essential, that therefore every thing Instituted by Christ is Essentiall?
A27045Would you have my proof?
A27045Would you know then where our Church, that is, the Catholike Church hath been, in all ages?
A27045You ask,[ Were those Primitive Christians of another kind of Church order and Government then were those under the Roman Empire?]
A27045You ask[ were they different Congregations?]
A27045You next enquire whether[ we account] Rome and us One Congregation of Christians?]
A27045You say Cyril would not break off Communion with Nestorius till Celestine had condemned him; of this you give us no proof: But what if it be true?
A27045[ See how this Minister of the Devil is beside himself, and would draw us with him into the ditch of perdition?
A27045[ When every Sect pretend that they have the true Church and Ministry, who shall judge?]
A27045am I bound to believe in his authority?
A27045an in Verbis capitis sui?
A27045and also deny the Revelation it self, by which he should discern these truths?
A27045and by how many?
A27045and by whom ad esse?
A27045and did that prove that Rome was subject to Constantinople?
A27045and did those Heathen Emperors give it him?
A27045and drew both your selves and their other subjects from all subjection to them, and communion with them?
A27045and if jure divino, whether mediately or immediately?
A27045and if not, why the contempt or rejection of a drunken Priest doth it, while all the rest are( perhaps too much) honoured?
A27045and many such like?
A27045and never opened it to the auditors, till they were Baptized?
A27045and so whether it hath been from the beginning?
A27045and that they should so solicitously labour the perversion of States and Kingdoms for the promoting of stupidity or stark madness?
A27045and to hide what you pretend to open?
A27045and what approbation must there be?
A27045and what part?
A27045and whether their disobedience unchurch them or no?
A27045and who are these Pastors?
A27045and why pretend you to believe Generall Councils?
A27045and yet deny not the Veracity of God,( no nor of the Church?)
A27045appeal to Rome, as the Judge, or Church that the rest are subjected to?
A27045are there no proofs in the world, but what you have seen?
A27045but that they spoke falsly?
A27045could you not without this lost labour at first have called me to prove the successive visibility of our Church?
A27045doth all the world know that Christ hath instituted in his Church nothing but what is essential to it?
A27045doth he blame them after in other Epistles that gave him that Title?
A27045even to subject all Christs Members to one, as an Universal Patriarch or Bishop?
A27045how is it possible?
A27045how shall I then be sure of his authority that is ordained?
A27045in Verbis nostris eam quaesituri?
A27045is he no Heretick, that denieth the matter revealed, without opposing obstinately the Authority revealing?
A27045is it P. Stephen that is the Law- giver of the Law against unjust innovation?
A27045is it the belief of all that God hath revealed to be believed; or of part?
A27045is this no Heretick?
A27045must I nominate Christians of these Nations, to prove that there were such?
A27045must you have their names, sirnames, and Genealogies?
A27045or any controversie between us and them to be decided?
A27045or had intentionem ordinandi?
A27045or may not many of those proofs be valid which you have seen, though you esteem them not so?
A27045or necessary to our membership?
A27045or were they quite different Congregations?
A27045or who must elect him ad esse?
A27045quid de proprio intulimus, ut aliquid contrarium ei& in Scripturis deprehensum, detractione vel adjectione vel transumtatione remediaremus?
A27045sed quo jure?
A27045surely no?
A27045that all the Church hath been guiltless of the Papal usurpation, or only some in every age?
A27045therefore he was Governour of all the Christian world?
A27045those cease when the persons die; or do you mean assemblies meeting in the same place?
A27045upon the denyal of common principles and sence?
A27045utrum apud nos, an apud illos?
A27045were they the same which you nominated first, or others?
A27045were they the same which you nominated in the beginning, and made one Congregation with them?
A27045what Election, or Consecration is necessary thereto?
A27045what am I the wiser by your saying many more incomparably, when you tell me not what, or who they were?
A27045what if I be utterly ignorant whether he that ordained him, were himself ordained?
A27045what if it be but in particular Assemblies?
A27045what more?
A27045what opportunity have ordinary Christians to compare them, and discern the moral advantages on each side?
A27045when Menna Bishop of Constantinople excommunicated Pope Vigilius, was he not even with him?
A27045whose whole institution of the Church office, specially the old one, was invented and approved by him?
A27045why possessed you your selves of the Bishopricks and Cures of your own Prelates and Pastors, they yet living in Queen Elizabeths time?
A27045will you say you meant in voto?
A27045would you have the Communion of our Ashes, or else say, We forsake your Communion?
A27045yea, whether it be not much more that hath been given and accepted?
A27045— Quaestio est, ubi sit hoc corpus, i. e. ubi sit Ecclesia?
A5786073?
A57860All this considered we are little concerned; whether in the Primitive Times there were but one Chu ● ch in a City, or more?
A57860And after, if men sin who make an Image an ordinary stated motive of Worship, yet how shall we excuse our own adorations?
A57860And doth not the Scripture so too?
A57860And if this be his Meaning, what needed such a distinction of Worship?
A57860And is it not plain, that P. Martyr, under our circumstances, would be a Non conformist as well as we?
A57860And is not the whole History of the Church of Judah under her Kings, a witness of this?
A57860And the Peace and Vnity of Christianity valued at so low a rate?
A57860And then what do all his commendable yieldings, as to the People, signi ● ● e?
A57860And to which of them can this duty of worshipping God by the prescript of His VVord, be reduced, if not to the second?
A57860And what hath he gained by that Concession?
A57860And, What Argument will the Dr. bring against most of the Popish Ceremonies, but that they are not commanded?
A57860And, what need was there to mention them, when there were such weighty Reasons beside to be insisted on?
A57860Are the Consciences of men so little to be regarded?
A57860Are there particular prohibitions of the several Ceremonies that were used in Popery?
A57860But I ask the Dr. who of the Non- conformists did ever thus express their opinions without further Explication?
A57860But did ever any of them say, that this was either the only, or main reason of their Meetings?
A57860But he is willing to set his Church beyond all imaginable blame, and to put the Question only, whether the Dissenters have any blame, or not?
A57860But the Question is, whether Superiors may determine a thing, that is not at all needful to be determined?
A57860But we must first consider the true state of the controversy; which is not, whether all possible Honour be due to the Glorious Person who is so Named?
A57860But wh ● ther will Mens indiscreet Zeal carry them?
A57860But what is all that to the purpose?
A57860But will he say, that they are for Excluding the Parents?
A57860But, Did they ever teach, that we ought to communicate with a true Church in those parts of her Worship that are sinful?
A57860But, what if any part of Worship be unlawful; call it Substantial, or Circumstantial, or what he will?
A57860By what Law of Christ is the Presbyter accountable to the Bishop, more then the Bishop is accountable to him?
A57860By whom will this be thought?
A57860Can you wonder if the people chuse more faithful Pastors?
A57860Did ever Mr. A. or any of us say this, or words to that effect?
A57860Did ever any Non- conformist talk at this rate of Conformists in general, as he would have his Readers believe?
A57860Did ever the Non- conformists make Mr. Baxter their general Representative?
A57860Did none of the Jews more than this, at that Feast?
A57860Did not they own the same Episcopacy which is now among us, and which men by Book upon Book seek to destroy?
A57860Do not they desert Antiquity in more things, and those of more moment than the controverted Ceremonies are?
A57860Do not ye make void the Law of God, neglecting Love, studying Unity, Mercy,& c. for these your Traditions?
A57860Doth it hence follow, that they who dislike her Bishops and Ceremonies are doing the same Work?
A57860Doth not all this fully express what I have already said, That all the Ceremonies ought to have been cast out at first?
A57860Doth the nature of Church Discipline lie in that?
A57860Doth this savour of that Regard to Souls, and of that love of Peace and Unity that our Brethren make such a noise with, when it suiteth their purpose?
A57860Had it been fair dealing to call David a Separatist in his Exile, because he waited not on the Temple Service?
A57860Had it not been as easie to deny the Ceremonies, in debate, to be Worship, or any part of Worship, as others of his Party do?
A57860Hath Conscience no use, but to discern what is my Lord Bishop''s Will, or what the Act of Parliament saith?
A57860Hath this never been done by Non- conformists?
A57860He answereth a question; Can these be called Schismaticks who are first excommunicated by the Church?
A57860He asketh, where lyeth the strength and evidence of our scruples?
A57860He saith, it giveth no interruption to Devotion: But doth it give none to other parts of Worship, which he is not pleased to call Devotion?
A57860His 2. answer is, If a restraint be laid on Ministers by Law, whether the Minister ought to admonish publickly, and debar in that Case?
A57860His Question is very absurd, How shall we come by the sence, but by the words?
A57860His proof of this is, Presbyters were setled in Country Cures, what then?
A57860How Quickly, Vnanimously, and Vniversally did the ten Tribes apostatize after Solomon''s decease?
A57860How doth passion blind men?
A57860How doth this consist with what he had said, That he will not say, that we are set on by the Jesuits?
A57860How many things did thus slip from the Pens of several of the Fathers, that the Dr. will not approve?
A57860How some of them preach and print Socinianism, and without a check from the Church?
A57860I again ask him, Whether doth he own them as sound, or reject them as fallacious?
A57860I ask the Dr. whether in this case we may separate, though we scruple not any part of that worship that he is pleased to call Substantial Worship?
A57860I desire to know what Warrant is for this, even from sound reason?
A57860I hope that will not be denied: Now, is not the Cross used to betoken our obligation to the very same things?
A57860I suppose he will not own such Crossing, I am sure it was never heard of; if he say, it is not to be done, How do these become Members of the Church?
A57860I think the Question should rather be, Whether it was a Rule of God''s making, or of Man''s making?
A57860If any ask, which of these three we do indeed own?
A57860If he say they are not, why doth he here conjoin them?
A57860If he think them such men, why would he bind us to their Authority, which is the tendency of this long Discourse?
A57860If not, why do they assume the substance of it?
A57860If such bold and notorious untruths are published now, what account may we expect will be given to Posterity of the passages of these Times?
A57860If these evils crept in under the Inspection of the Apostles, What wonder is it if Men afterwards began in some things to deviate in Church- practice?
A57860If they bind not all men, why is the Worship of other Churches so cryed out upon, by many of your Church?
A57860If they bind not our Consciences, why do ye charge us with Sin, for refusing them?
A57860If two contend about a Third Persons Estate, and the one prevail against the other, do ● h that give him a Title?
A57860If unnecessary; why should they be forced on mens Consciences, to the Rending of the Church?
A57860In the Third place; When his opposites alledge certain Rules for interpreting the Commandments, he asketh, Whether they be divine or humane?
A57860In the days of Joash, as soon as Jehojada was gone, how quickly did a Faction, with a Complement to the King, turn the whole Nation to Idolatry?
A57860Is all this no more than two mens scrupling only some Habits?
A57860Is it imaginable that the Apostle in a list of Church- Officers set down in so few words, would use such repetition?
A57860Is it imaginable that the Apostle intendeth to oblige all the Churches to take a rule of mans making for directing them how they shall please God?
A57860Is it not made a sign of our Covenant, or Engagement to the same duties that we are engaged to by Baptism?
A57860Is it not obvious, that their Joy was for our Broils on that occasion, and not for the Ruin of that which they love so well?
A57860Is not our Case parallel to theirs in this?
A57860Is not this stretching and forcing of Scripture to defend a bad Cause, which he below chargeth us with?
A57860Is not this to prefer your Tradition to God''s Law?
A57860Is not this to rend the Church by Divisions?
A57860Is there any thing in these Books that favoureth Papists?
A57860Is there no Consideration to be used by the Church, how the Labours of all these may not be lost, while the Harvest is great, and the Labourers few?
A57860Is there no difference between having probable grounds for a Scruple, and having no such grounds?
A57860Is there no such blame among his Party?
A57860Is this fair dealing?
A57860It is a needless Question that he asketh, Wherein doth our Church differ from its first Setlen ● ut?
A57860It should not have been omitted; to enquire whether the Grounds alledged for Separation lie in things really Evil, or only fan ● ied to be such?
A57860It were easie to fill a Volume with Histories to this purpose: Will the Doctor thence conclude, that all these should be abolished?
A57860Mast Reformers be charged with a wrong Way of Worship?
A57860May not men make owning Traditions of Men necessary to their Communion, tho''they make it not necessary to Salvation?
A57860May not the means of securing Worship from abuse, serve us that served them?
A57860Must Conscience then be bound Hand and Foot, and carried whither the Prelate pleaseth?
A57860Must therefore none be satisfied, because all can not?
A57860Now our Question is, VVhat warrant have men for making such an Addition to so great an Ordinance of God?
A57860Or if many teach dangerous Doctrine contrary to established Truth; ought not People withdraw from such Teachers?
A57860Or is not here rather a considerable number exactly of our opinion about all humane Ceremonies in the worship of God?
A57860Or what if something be Annexed to the True Worship of God; which is sinful; but yet so peremptorily imposed, as none shall worship God without it?
A57860Or will we be wiser and m ● re wary than they?
A57860Or, if Mr. B. sometimes speak at this rate, is this his ordinary Doctrine?
A57860Pray, who ever said so?
A57860Quid verba audio cum facta videam?
A57860Reply; why doth the Dr. make the Rubrick, and the Law thus to clash, especially seeing the Common Prayers and its Rubri ● k are setled by Law?
A57860Shall they hear him?
A57860Shall we slight or cross Christ''s Institution in the Worship of God, for the sake of Antiquity, or Papists, or Protestants either?
A57860Should they complain to Superiors, against the erroneous Preacher?
A57860Some further Argumentative Questions he moveth; Is all this( writing against Bishops and Ceremonies) done for the honour of the Reformation?
A57860Some( saith he) in this case pressed the Dissenters to study Union among Protestants; But were they then, or ever, backward to it on sinless terms?
A57860The Doctor asketh, Whether all must have equal Votes?
A57860The Dr. Answereth; And is not every Church- Member bound to perform these?
A57860These Apostasies were in higher points than we now speak of; and yet, How quickly did the Church thus degenerate?
A57860To come nearer home, Do not all the soundest Protestants rejoice in the Lutheran Reformation, as to the main, and yet blame it in some things?
A57860VVere they not as vigilant and jealous over the Papists, as other Protestants even before that time?
A57860VVhat a mad exposition of the second Commandment is this?
A57860VVhat meaneth he by this last Clause?
A57860VVho of them have been excommunicated for not using it, as we are for forbearing the Ceremonies?)
A57860Was ever Schism, saith he, made so light of?
A57860Was it for the Honour of the Reformation?
A57860Was it never heard of, that true Martyrs had Mistakes that were extrinsick to that on which their Sufferings were st ● ted?
A57860Was that the way to preserve the Worship of Jehovah?
A57860Were it not easie to name many more men of all these excellent qualities, who have had their Navi?
A57860What advantage could they make of all this against the Church of England?
A57860What course doth he mean?
A57860What doth all this prove?
A57860What if such a Case as this, or little less evil, be not rare?
A57860What is all this against popular Elections?
A57860What is all this, to make up an Obligation to sin against God, rather than separate from the Church?
A57860What need publick Admonition by name?
A57860What needed he blame the Non- conformists for want of Clearness and Distinction in this matter, when himself hath confounded it?
A57860What power hath the Church, to pick and chuse Scripture- Commandments, to injoin one, and neglect another of equal Authority?
A57860What would the Dr. have serious Christians, who are concerned about the Salvation of their Souls, do, when such a Minister is set over them?
A57860Where is the plain Prohibition of them?
A57860Where( saith he) hath the Church of Rome more Labourers and a greater Harvest than under the greatest Liberty of Conscience?
A57860Whether it be lawful for People to obey such commands?
A57860Whether our Hierarchy be called Antichristian, or Repugnant to the Institutions of Christ?
A57860Which of them readeth what they think lawful in their own Assemblies?
A57860Who can be so Fit, by his opportunity and care, as the Parent?
A57860Who did ever require that?
A57860Who doubteth of that; but the question is, to whom did the Apostles commit this care?
A57860Why are not our Brethren uniform in their Reverence to Antiquity?
A57860Why may not the Church appoint such a rite of admission of one of her Members, declaring it to be no part of Baptism?
A57860Why may not this be done now, when Dissatis ● action is become more universal?
A57860Will Worship is condemned in Scripture; and, Can it be denied, that what is not commanded, tho''it be not plainly forbidd ● n, is Will- Worship?
A57860Will any man say that this is meer admission, as a Member of the Church, or into the Church of England; and that no more is intended by these words?
A57860Will even Dr. Stillingfleet own Mr. Parker''s Notion of the Publick Conscience?
A57860Will he forbear no Sin, but what is named in one of the Ten Commandments?
A57860Will not the study of Peace answer this injunction of the Apostle, without Uniformity?
A57860Will then the Dr. say, that the way of Divine Worship is injoined in this Command, but not the manner and form of it?
A57860Will they deny the naevi patrum that Divines, both Papists and Protestants, have observed?
A57860With what face can wise men alledge this?
A57860Would he have them have Separate Meetings, but no Ministers in them to Administer the Ordinances of God to them?
A57860Would they take such a Man for a Christian?
A57860Yea; Can any Reformed Church be instanced where it hath not been, and is not used?
A57860do not all Signs represent somewhat beside the bare Action, or beside themselves?
A57860or any thing that maketh the Church of England worse than that of Rome?
A57860or, Doth he think that none of them that want Literature can discern Truth from Errour, in any Case?
A57860or, Hath he so much as pretended to write in the Name of them all?
A57860or, Must the Bible have been made so voluminous, as to mention every circumstantiate Case, otherwise we will take no notice of its general Precepts?
A57860or, when men make Railing their ordinary Doctrine, Should people sit and hear that, as God''s Ordinance for their Souls edification?
A57860or, would they have had them abandon the light of the ● r Consciences for Peace- sake in that time of danger?
A57860scandalous Vsurpers and Persecutors?
A57860what disobedience, ungovernableness, contempt of the Worship of God, and indecency in it, are we charged with?
A57860whether our Ministery be called a false or insufficient Ministry?
A57860whether the Imposers or the Scruplers?
A62876& c. Are not, as was said, the children of them all admitted to the Font, and they themselves to the Lords Table?
A62876( Apella likely) Are these likely motives to perswade or enforce a ● y thereunto?
A62876( and this is the record of John, when the Jews sent Priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
A628764, Hast thou as much communion with God as thou desirest?
A6287696. p. 528. saith, Quid postulat secundum praeceptum?
A62876And Jesus when he saw much people, was moved with compassion towards them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd( what?
A62876And how shall they preach except they be sent?
A62876And if so, may it not be said, Ye your selves are the seal of their Ministry in the Lord?
A62876And to his question, Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished, that are waiting at the doors of their house?
A62876And what can we say to all these things?
A62876And what prudent housholder will permit the figure or quantity of his house, to the arbitrement, and will of others?
A62876Are any too vile( except such as truly fear God ▪ and desire to press after holiness) to be admitted by them into their Communion?
A62876Are not all their dear Brethren and Sisters, living and dead, though Drunkards, Swearers, Adulterers, and Adulteresses?
A62876Are not he, and all others, specially of his way of separation, most apt to magifie those who jump with him in his way; and to disparage dissenters?
A62876Are not the sincere Lambs of Christ oftentimes carried away with false shews, and partial affections, and wrong reports?
A62876Are there not many persons and places of peculiar and exempt Jurisdiction?
A62876Are they Pastors or Teachers?
A62876Are they Prophets?
A62876Are they in the practice of the Primitive Church, or of the Reformed Churches of this day in this matter?
A62876Art sure that God, and Christ, and Eternal Glory, are thy portion and inheritance?
A62876Art thou altogether ready trimmed( without more ado) for the coming and Kingdom of Christ Jesus?
A62876Art thou sufficiently acquainted with thine own heart?
A62876As for the demand, where are the Churches, where are the particular persons converted by them?
A62876As for the second particular, That hereby poor souls are hardned in a false way of worship, what can be thought less?
A62876But granting it to be a Precept, is it a Precept to the Apostles only, or to others?
A62876But how comes this to be an Order, Ordinance, Institution of the house of Christ appointed by himself?
A62876But how proves he the power for electing their own Officers delegated solely to a particular Instituted Church of Christ?
A62876But in what sense do they pretend to be the Apostles Successors?
A62876But let it imply a Precept to us; Do not the present Ministers of England conform to it?
A62876But our Ministers are removed, and we know not where to go to hear; would you have us sit at home idle?
A62876But the term of Pastors and Teachers, is challenged by Bishops: and what saith he against it?
A62876But there are some good men amongst them, and such as belong to God, may we not hear good men?
A62876But what if there were an embracing a Toleration, if granted?
A62876But what meaneth the bleating of the Sheep, and lowing of the Oxen in our ears?
A62876But what saith he of the rest?
A62876But what then?
A62876But where find they any National Church of the Institution of Christ, in the Oeconomie of the Gospel?
A62876But who, I pray, are these disorderly Walkers?
A62876But who, I pray, are these disorderly walkers?
A62876But why not in Office?
A62876But, how doth the Hearing the present Ministers tend to it?
A62876Canon Ecclesiastical ▪ Are any of these Ordinances and Constitutions of the appointment of Christ?
A62876Credat Apelles?
A62876Did any of them say so, or count it to be so?
A62876Did he then shut out of doors, as unnecessary, the gift of Prophecy?
A62876Did the Apostles ordain any as their Successors therein in any of the Churches of Christ?
A62876Did the woman in her flight into the Wilderness carry it along with her?
A62876Do all great as well as small, rich and poor, free and bond receive such a mark?
A62876Do not even the Ministers of England the same?
A62876Do not the most able Preachers sometimes omit the exercise of their gifts, and yet count not them shut out of doors, as unnecessary?
A62876Do the present Ministers of England conform unto this Institution of Christ?
A62876Do the present Ministers of England conform unto this great Institution?
A62876Do they at all value or esteem of it?
A62876Do they succeed them as Christians?
A62876Do they succeed them in respect to their Off ● ice?
A62876Do you look upon your going to hear, as your duty, or meerly as your liberty?
A62876Dost know so much of thy self as thou needest to know?
A62876Ergo si aliud Imperator& aliud Deus quid judicatis?
A62876For Surplice, Crossing in Baptism, and many other Gewgaws used by them?
A62876For what are we to think otherwise when we read such passages as these: the verity of his minor proposition shines forth as the Sun in his brightness?
A62876From how many have they gone a whoring?
A62876Hast heard as often from him by the tea ● hings of the Spirit( the incomparably and infinitely best teacher) as thou dost wish?
A62876Hast thou no sin to be mortified, no want to be supplyed, no grace to be quickned and strengthned in thee?
A62876Have not many, especially in cases of necessity, been Ministers of Christ by immediate inward call, who have not wrought Miracles?
A62876Have they any such Call to the Ministry?
A62876Have they not an equal respect to this appointment of Christ, as to those before instanced in?
A62876How do they therein proclaim their shame, and yield the matter in Controversie?
A62876How doth it appear that men raising them, whether Princes or Patrons are men of such spirits and principles?
A62876How doth it appear that to come out of the Earth is to be raised by men of earthly spirits and principles?
A62876How is it possible for this Author, or any other, to number them, compare, weigh them in an upright ballance?
A62876How lubricous and uncertain is that their Succession?
A62876How prove they that the Church of England is so?
A62876I answer by another Question, Which of them have they so made void?
A62876I ask, are these things the sin and evil of th ● se men, or are they not?
A62876If they are not, Why did not our preaching Brethren receive the Ordination from the Bish ● ps these received?
A62876If they judge it their duty to meet together distinct from the world and it''s worshippers, why run they thereunto?
A62876If thou dost not, are not these worthy of thy utmost diligence to get assurance of?
A62876In answer to the Question, Whether there be any National Church under the Oeconomy of the Gospel?
A62876Is not our so doing, a secret consenting with them, and encouraging of them in their evil deeds?
A62876Is not the childrens meat frequently given unto Dogs, and the holy Ordinances prostituted to be polluted by the worst of men?
A62876Is not the liberty of the Brethren and Churches of Christ, as much as lies in them, wholly disanulled and broken by them?
A62876Is not their Church- state( so unlike is it to the Institution of Christ) a very Babel, a Den of Dragons, and Hold of unclean Beasts?
A62876Is not this to blow hot and cold with the same breath?
A62876Is there any thing like it almost practised by them, in this great concern of separating persons for the Preaching of the Gospel of Christ?
A62876Is this to discharge those duties incumbent upon us( if we indeed look upon them as Brethren) for their reclaiming?
A62876Lord to whom shall we go?
A62876Majorem certe noli offendere — quis est inquies major eo qui me genuit?
A62876Mark 16.15?
A62876Matth, 23.37?
A62876May it not be said to themselves, Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished by your Ministry?
A62876May not those be more carnal, yea very hypocrites, which he counts spiritual Saints?
A62876O how many millions of souls are and have been thereby hardened to their own undoing, and their hands strengthned in wickedness?
A62876Or judgest thou this to be a work that requires not thy utmost diligence and attendance?
A62876Quid enim times ne offendas majorem?
A62876Quis ergo nisi infidelis negaverit fuisse apud inferos Christum?
A62876Rursum si aliquid ipse Proconsul jubeat,& aliud jubeat Imperator, numquid dubitatur in illo contemptu illi esse serviendum?
A62876Saith our Author, whether the priviledges of Saints, be not every way as great and extensive under the Gospel, as those under the Law?
A62876So that, ● f their prayers be naught and polluted, their Preaching be not so too?
A62876Solve tributum, est mihi in obsequio recte ▪ Sed non in Idolio, in Idolio prohibet, quis prohibet?
A62876The Ministers of England preach truth, and is it not lawfull to hear truth preached?
A62876The Popish Priests preach truth, yet who will say''t is lawfull to attend upon their Ministry?
A62876The command to do what they bid implies a permission to hear, else how could they do as they bid?
A62876The corporal temple had its dreadth, and its measure described most accurately by God, shall not the spiritual have its?
A62876There is no necessity of being idle, if thou knowest not where to hear on that day, hast thou no work to do save that?
A62876There was never yet any Heretical preacher in the world, but he preached some truth; is it lawfull to hear such?
A62876Thou walkest in the light of assurance, or thou dost not?
A62876To the Questions, Are any of these Ordinances and Constitutions of the appointment of Christ?
A62876To the first, which of the Institutions of Christ have not the present Ministers mixed with their inventions?
A62876To the third, Is not a great part of their Worship drops of the Whores Cup of Fornication and shreds of the great lye of Antichrist?
A62876Were not many, if not most in your Churches wrought upon at first by other Preachers?
A62876Were they also Idolaters?
A62876What Apostolical tradition have we for stinted Forms of Prayer, or Liturgies in the Church?
A62876What a Lesbian leaden rule doth this Author then give, whose offence is to be avoided, rather than anothers?
A62876What if this should be granted?
A62876What less?
A62876What less?
A62876What more absurd, then to run to the persecuting Whore and Beast for an Office of Ministry?
A62876What more dishonorable to the Lord Jesus can be asserted?
A62876What say our Reverend Fathers and Ministers of the Church of England to these things?
A62876What that, or those sins are, we suppose the Ministers of England to be guilty of?
A62876What then are they?
A62876What visible lineaments of such a frame of spirit, are drawn upon the faces of that generation of men, concerning whom we are now discoursing?
A62876What was the visible Church of the Jewes, when that Nation was called to the faith?
A62876What, O what will Eternity be then?
A62876What?
A62876When did the Ministers compel all under the penalty of death, or outlawry to acknowledg subjection to the Hierarchy?
A62876When or where were they instituted by by him?
A62876When were they raised by such?
A62876Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished, that are waiting at the ● doors of their house?
A62876Where find we any Apostles after the departure of those that were immediately by Christ called to that Office?
A62876Where read we of their so doing?
A62876Wherefore then was that reed given to John?
A62876Whether in such a Church there ● s, or can rationally be supposed to be, a true Ministry of the Institution of Christ?
A62876Whether such Prayers and service may not be a Worship of God in a way that is of his appointment?
A62876Whether the Book of Common- Prayer, or stinted Liturgies, be of the Prescription of Christ, and not of mans devising and invention?
A62876Whether the Lord Jesus be not the alone Head, King, and Law- giver to his Church?
A62876Whether the officers instituted by Christ, are not onely Pastors, Teachers, Deacons and helpers?
A62876Whether there be any National Church under the Oeconomie of the Gospel?
A62876Which of the Reformed Churches that have separated from the Papacy have retained it?
A62876Who can point out, who are such, who not?
A62876Who can tell what measure of these qualifications there is in them that are living?
A62876Who can tell, what men may prove, for all their fair shews?
A62876Who can understand his errours?
A62876Why baptizest thou then?
A62876Why so?
A62876Yea, is this to come out of, and separate from them?
A62876Yea, may not some others ordain Elders for particul ● ● Instituted Churches?
A62876Yet 2ly, who that hath but half an eye can chuse but see, that an attendance upon their Ministry is remote enough from being their intendment?
A62876Yet should this also be granted, where are the Constitutions and Laws of this Church, that we may pay the homage to them as is meet?
A62876an ille qui teipsum creavit?
A62876and can such be accounted as the subjects of the Kingdom of Christ, and the real owners of his Authority and Power?
A62876came the Word of God out from you?
A62876covetousness, self- seeking, and other sinister affections, as others of different wayes?
A62876determine what Laws and Constitutions were fit to be observed by them?
A62876did they frame any?
A62876from how many have they gone a whoring?
A62876how shall we know them?
A62876how shall we know them?
A62876if they derive it through the Papacy, who sees not the invalidity thereof?
A62876is it the National Church of England?
A62876is less to the purpose: For what shew of consequence is there in this?
A62876is not a great part of their worship drops of the Whores Cup of Fornication, and shreds of the great lye of Antichrist?
A62876many persons that either by indulgence or connivence, though not acknowledging such subjection, live as free as those that do?
A62876nothing less: is there any thing like this in the whole Oeconomie invented and practised by them?
A62876or came it unto you only?
A62876or doth Christ indeed send forth servants in any imployment, and not furnish them with Gifts sutable thereunto?
A62876put some restraints upon Prophecying, to keep order?
A62876sayes, Lordship and Dominion is plainly forbidden to the Apostles, and darest thou then usurp the same?
A62876so that none indeed doth return from his wickedness: How rare a thing is it to hear of one soul that is brought over to God by all their preaching?
A62876speaks thus, What?
A62876what can be imagined more frivolous or false?
A62876what need I turn aside to make application of this to the Prophets of this day?
A62876when and where were they instituted by him?
A62876when or where were they instituted by him?
A62876who is a lier but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
A62876who sees not?
A62876who sees not?
A62876who that hath soberly and unbiassedly considered of these things, but must acknowledge it?
A62876who that is serious, doth not experiment the truth thereof in his own soul?
A62876yea, are any qualified with Gifts as they, for the discharge of such an Office?
A62876— qui enim resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit: sed quid si illud jubeat quod non debes facere?
A62876— timendo potestatem ipsos humanarum rerum gradus advertite: si aliquid jusserit Curator, nonne faciendum est?

A43621Are they that are so incessant to this hour in their Cabals, meetings, sending out Spies and Intelligencers into all Quarters, now on a sudden weary?
A43621Are they that would travel as far as Holland, Savoy, Piedm ● … nt, nay to New England, rather than not have their wills, now weary?

A43621Is''t not a marvel who this same Gregory Father- Greybeard is?
A43621Is''t not enough that they rob''d him of his Kingdomes and drive him to straits, that he had not where to lay his head?
A43621Is''t not pity but this Gregory should be call''d to the Helm of Government?
A43621Is''t not pity his Majesty does not give him a Letter of Mart, to reimburse himself upon that people, by some of whom he was rob''d?

A43621Tenthly, Beloved, And is it so?
A43621Than to say, his whole Reign was deform''d with Ceremonies, Arminianism, and Sibthorpianism, and Manwaring?
A43621The King alone is the Fountain of Honour, and are those streams of honour that flow from him, more pudled in a Clergy than a Lay- Channel?
A43621The Rehearsal Transpros''d?
A43621Then the use we should make of all, should be to begin with an use of enquiry, who this same E. H. is?
A43621Then you would surely take my Hebrew Tongue away, would you?

A43621What need of Jayls or Acts of Indemnity or Uniformity, Licences or Liberty, Indulgence or no Indulgence?
A43621What say you to that, Repartee Con?
A43621What''s that?
A43621What, lose all?
A43621What?
A43621When our Saviour and the Apostles quoted Scripture out of the Old Testament, did they not follow the Hebrew Text?
A43621When the dumb beast opened his mouth, saying, Am not I thine Ass?
A43621When will''t come to my turn( think I) to wait, and make the Gentleman sport?
A43621Where are they?
A43621Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and how my self before the high God?
A43621Which do you think is the most Authentick apographical Copy of the Septuagint, the Vatican or Alexandrian?
A43621Who are they?
A43621Who dare check them, lest he seem thereby to fight against God?

A43621Who did ever see so much railing in so little a book as his?
A43621Who taught them not to value, or at least, to undervalue the Testimonies of the old TeTestament, but the Manichees and Severians?
A43621Who taught them to cry up the Pulpit, and Sermons only, and decry Sacraments and Prayers, and Charity, but the Eutichites?
A43621Why do you say?
A43621Why should the Wolf be hang''d up, when The Jaccal Scot- free goes?
A43621Why, is Syriack and Chaldee all one?
A43621Why?
A43621Why?
A43621Why?
A43621Workers of iniquity?
A43621Would not Balaams Ass( if alive) open his mouth again, to rebuke the madness of these Prophets?
A43621Would not a zealous and holy keeping Gods holy day bring them to God?
A43621Would not prayers many and long, and good too; and preaching many Sermons, and full good and Orthodox and saving Truths, bring them ● … o God?
A43621Would not the being cry''d up for the most pure and godly party bring them to God?
A43621Would not the worship of God in his own way bring them to God?
A43621Would they afford either an Alms or Charity, or so much as a good word or look to any but their own Sect and Faction?
A43621You have taken away my Gods which I made, and the Priest and you are gone away, and what have I more?
A43621and another on his left knee?
A43621and as honest?
A43621and be uncoverd, when they bid thee be uncovered?
A43621and did they learn this modern Orthodoxy out of the Primitive Simplicity?
A43621and dost thou never send that Scripture home to thine own heart?
A43621and from Aerius?
A43621and get him into the House?
A43621and give it strength, as well as life, by the same methods now, as in 1640?
A43621and have not thy Superiours as much power to ordain Ceremonies in the Church?
A43621and his mother a Strumpet?
A43621and make him laugh, who is not one day without the company of one or other Chaplain( new as the day) to say grace for him, and make him laugh?
A43621and nothing to the purpose?
A43621and one of the three that came over in four Ships?
A43621and then for prayers, long, long prayers, sacrifice, and indeed for all the worship of God prescribed in the four first commandments, who but they?
A43621and who more deserving than Laud, who studied to do both God and his Majesty good service, and was so pious and wise, as aforesaid?
A43621and why?
A43621are not these within an inch and a half at least as bad as a Rationale upon the sacred Common- Prayer?
A43621art thou disobedient?
A43621as it was by the common Hangman; or too good for the Rebel Saints?
A43621at the objection, why did not our Translators of the Bible, render the Original more exactly into English?
A43621can any violate the Majesty of the Father, and the Son be untouch''d and unconcern''d?
A43621can they play the men only to the women?
A43621can those evil speakers, lyars and slanderers,( in the French and Greek Languages, Devils,) now be weary and shame the stock they came of?
A43621continued he; what they?
A43621could the Devil of hell ever abuse and wrest the Holy Scriptures, as these modern Orthodox: juglers and Sermon- mongers have done?
A43621did not the Pharisees eat on the Sabbath days?
A43621do they not know of the going on''t, and how it is laid out,& what they get for it?
A43621had not said trinkle, Trinkle?
A43621has his every day sport( and laughing, and jesting at one or other of the Clergy) How long will it be before it comes to my turn?
A43621having neither accepted Sermon nor Lecture into your holy worship?

A43621nay scratches one out of the Grave, L. Andrews late Bishop of Winchester?

A43621not know thine own Preachers, prophesying in thy name, and such as have prayed too, Lord, Lord?
A43621now rip them up again when they are healed and cicatrized?
A43621or from Donatus?
A43621or rather who are not so?
A43621or serving God to day?
A43621or what receiveth he of thy hand?
A43621revive the Good Old Cause again, under the name of modern Orthodoxy?
A43621scruple to renounce unlawful oaths and Covenants of disloyalty and Schisme?
A43621should not you have done well in the Cabinet?
A43621tell me seriously, was there ever any argument so vilely ridiculous, as this of the Cat?
A43621that forgetting his serious office, will make a Gentleman merry,& rather than fail, with a Joque upon Scriptures make a little Play?
A43621the King?
A43621then say, his Father too was murther''d?
A43621thou that sayst a man should not steal, or be disobedient; dost thou steal?
A43621too good for what?
A43621too good to be burnt does he mean?
A43621was not the father of this E. H. some Jesuit?
A43621was not the whore- son born at Tripoly?
A43621was their Adversary, or should come to be Garter King at Arms?
A43621were you at sermon to day?
A43621what Cat, do ye think?
A43621what never a Modern Orthodox man that can write like a man or, a Scholar?
A43621what think you of putting that same Cat into the Press?
A43621what would you have?
A43621what''s that?
A43621what?
A43621where''s Hopkins the witch finder?
A43621whose for me?
A43621why?
A43621writ against us, friends; and against our friends; and against Mr. — our friends friend; by one E. H. What is this E. H?
A47927A Limited Toleration must Exclude Some; and why not You, as well as Another?
A47927ANd why by Them, if by Any, I beseech ye?
A47927Again, we are perpetually Alarm''d with Plotts, ye see; Now what better means then a Toleration, to draw the Conspirators into a Body?
A47927And I beseech ye( if a body may ask) what mighty business hinder''d ye?
A47927And I will not deny neither, but there are Good people in the mixture; shall All therefore be Indulg''d for the Honesty of some?
A47927And can you Imagine that so many restless Humours, and disturb''d Consciences, will ever be Quiet without it?
A47927And do not You your self believe it Better to Obey God then Man?
A47927And is not That Every Mans Case as well as Yours?
A47927And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism?
A47927And now to hold you to the Question[ By Whom was the War in Scotland begun?]
A47927And what do ye think of the Sccluded Members?
A47927And what is Your Party, I beseech ye?
A47927And what shall become of him that Preaches it, I beseech ye?
A47927And what was This Cause, I beseech ye, but the Foulest Conspiracy that ever appear''d under that Masque?
A47927And what''s a King without his People?
A47927And which are Those I beseech ye?
A47927And with Your Pardon too, How shall the Magistrate know whether your Conscience is opprest, or no, if he be no Judge of it?
A47927And yet''t was That you Leagu''d and Covenanted to make your Pattern; but where do you Expect to Mend your Self, under That Form of Government?
A47927And, I beseech ye, what is that which you Call Authority?
A47927Answer me Soberly, What if a State should grant a Toleration, for all men to talk of God- Almighty as they please?
A47927Are not These Sons of Zeal worthy of Encouragement, think ye?
A47927Are not the Non- Conformists Numerous?
A47927Are not the People ready to Tumult for want of it?
A47927Are not you Convinc''d, that the most likely way in the world to stir up Subjects against their Prince, is to Proclaim the Iniquity of his Laws?
A47927Are not you as well, Now, without any Toleration at all; as you will be Then without the Benefit of it?
A47927Are they more Naked and Supportless, Now, than they were before the Long Parliament?
A47927Are they one jot the Quieter for''t?
A47927Are they ready to Tumult?
A47927As for the Purpose, What is''t ye stick at?
A47927Ask him now, Where the Danger lies?
A47927At Whose Door Lies the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR?
A47927At whose Door Lyes the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR?
A47927Because God spares the Offender, shall Man therefore Tolerate the Offence?
A47927Begin with your Clergy; would you have Them Indulg''d?
A47927Betwixt the very Basis of Christianity, and the Superstructure?
A47927But I beseech ye, Whether do You take to be the Greater Number?
A47927But are not Some Opinions more Tolerable then Others?
A47927But do ye say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince?
A47927But is it not Pity,( considering our Duty is Obedience, and not Wisedom) that a Good man should be punished for not being a Wise Man?
A47927But may not a Prince tye himself up in a Thing Otherwise Indifferent?
A47927But tell me, I beseech ye, would you have no Toleration at all?
A47927But the Question is First, Was the World ever without a Government, since the Creation of Man?
A47927But to come to the short of the Question; This is it: Whether will you rather have, One fallible Iudge; or, a Million of Damnable Heresies?
A47927But to go with the Moderate: Would you have All mens Consciences Govern''d by the same Rule, when''t is Impossible to bring them All to the same Mind?
A47927But to the Point in hand; You Apply to the Parliament, and your Grievance is Matter of Conscience; Do ye make the Civil Power a Judge of Conscience?
A47927But what can justifie the very Constitution of a Persecuting Law?
A47927But what do ye mean by those Matters of Religion?
A47927But what if I should Ask you now, Who were the Prime Conductors in That Enterprize?
A47927But what if I should Long as much now to know what''t is that makes you so Inquisitive?
A47927But what if the Subject shall accompt that Imposition Grievous which the Magistrate thinks Necessary?
A47927But what is That Power which you call Nature?
A47927But what is''t you call a Parliament?
A47927But what''s the World to Mee, in the scale against my Soul?
A47927But when the Death is Certain, and the Virtue Doubtfull, who shall decide the Question?
A47927But where are our old Eli''s now, to sit watching and Trembling for fear of the Ark?
A47927But where have you been in Earnest?
A47927But where''s the Mischief of That Sermon I beseech ye?
A47927But where''s your Brother- Scruple?
A47927But who shall be Iudg of That?
A47927But who shall be Judg of what''s Indifferent?
A47927But why do I stand Fencing in a Case, where all that''s good for ought, even in the Favour''d Party, runs nigh an equal Perill?
A47927But why do ye say, Persecuted?
A47927But why should a Toleration do worse Here than in Holland?
A47927But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be Ascrib''d only to Instinct in Brutes, and to Reason in Man?
A47927But will not People be much more Peaceable, when they are Oblig''d, than when they are Persecuted?
A47927But would you have That Probability, Govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions?
A47927But, What do ye think, when the Making of One Law is the Transgression of Another?
A47927But, prethee why was he Clapt up?
A47927By whom I beseech ye was the Rebellion in Ireland begun?
A47927By whom I beseech ye, was He Persecuted, Divested of All his Regalities, Assaulted, Immur''d, Depos''d, and Murder''d, but By Your Party, Gentlemen?
A47927Can not Liberty of Conscience then consist with Civil Obedience?
A47927Can there be any sin without Consent?
A47927Can you either name Those Opinions, which you would have Indulg''d; or can you Expect a Toleration for all Opinions at a venture?
A47927Can you imagine, that any Condition in the Delinquent can operate upon the Force, and Equity of the Law?
A47927Can you remember the steps of the last Warr, and be of that Opinion?
A47927Can you say This, and not blush to Deny the Force of your own Argument?
A47927Can you your self Acquit him?
A47927Come leave your Lashing, and tell me Soberly; What hurt do you find in''t?
A47927Consider again; If there be any Hazard, wherein does it consist?
A47927David was Pronounc''d a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murther and Adultery?
A47927Did Wee sell him?
A47927Did not the Presbyterians Vote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a Treaty?
A47927Did ye do Well, or Ill in''t?
A47927Do not You find your self Foul now upon the Old Rock of Universal Toleration again?
A47927Do not you take Mr. — for a very sober well- weigh''d Person?
A47927Do not you take the Persecuting Party to be generally in the Wrong?
A47927Do so, What is''t?
A47927Do ye Remember what he Says concerning his Promises from Breda?
A47927Do ye Wonder at it?
A47927Do ye mean, that it must be expressly mark''d out, and commanded There; or will it serve the Turn, if it be only not Prohibited?
A47927Do ye put no Difference betwixt Points Fundamentally Necessary, and but Accidentally so?
A47927Do ye think such a Toleration as This, either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant?
A47927Do you believe, That it should ever have gone so far, if we Two could have Hinder''d it?
A47927Do''s not the Act for Uniformity Debar us of it?
A47927Does it follow that they have no Power, because they do not Exercise it?
A47927Does not God command, that the Tares should be let alone till the Harvest?
A47927Does not That Opinion destroy Christian Liberty?
A47927Find it say ye?
A47927For put Case, The King should Grant ye a Limited Toleration; would That Quiet ye?
A47927For the Punishment of Evil- Doers, is the one half of the Magistrates Commission: and what''s an Evil- Doer, but the Transgressour of a Law?
A47927Fourthly, The Enemies of God Blaspheme, and are ready to say, Where is your God?
A47927From whom do ye Expect it?
A47927Go to Scruple; If That be not the scope of your Monstrous Earnestness for a Toleration, pray''e tell me what is?
A47927Go to, speak Truth, What made You and your Ladies so early abroad this Morning?
A47927Have you forgot your self so soon?
A47927Have you read the Kings late Declaration of December 26?
A47927Have you well consider''d what will be the Fruit of Granting that Liberty?
A47927How Inconsistent then is the Liberty of the Pulpit, with the Safety of the Government?
A47927How comes it now that You Two, that can never Agree betwixt your selves, should yet Joyn in a Petition against Us?
A47927How comes it now, that we that Agree so well i''the End, should Differ so much''i th''Way to''t?
A47927How do They know when Christ was Born, or Crucify''d?
A47927How do you know but you may Persecute God Himself, in a Right Conscience?
A47927How far are his Lawes binding upon his Subjects?
A47927How long do you believe that Government would stand, where the Multitude should take notice that their Rulers are afraid of them?
A47927How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry?
A47927How shall the Magistrate Distinguish, whom he should Punish, and whom Not?
A47927How will you Reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case?
A47927How will you divide your Duty?
A47927I sent ye his Sermon last night, have ye overlookt it?
A47927I suppose, I shall not need to tell ye the Event of it; But of which side were the Tender Consciences, For the King, or Against Him?
A47927I will not Deny, but Ill things have been done: Shall All therefore be Condemn''d, for the Faults of Some?
A47927I would you''d deal frankly with me: What is( really) your Opinion of the Honesty of your Party?
A47927If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the the Fairest Probability Content you?
A47927If he bee, How comes Your Conscience to take Place of His Authority?
A47927If he chance to be slain:''T is but an f Accident; and who can help it?
A47927If it be demanded in what capacity the King may be Resisted?
A47927If such People as These may be Tolerated, where''s your ▪ Foundation of Faith, Good Life, and Government?
A47927If ye Disclaim it, why do ye Petition to your Inferiour?
A47927If you had put the Contrary Question, Y''had Pos''d me: Are not the Non- Conformists the Kings Subjects?
A47927If you say, The Non- conformists; then They are not Honest enough to be Trusted;( would you have the King Gratifie the Murtherers of his Father?)
A47927In good time; and what''s the Scope of your Petition?
A47927Is any honest man the better for the Last War?
A47927Is he at Liberty then?
A47927Is it Reason think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and hunt for Meat when hee''s Hungry?
A47927Is it not well then, to be Sure of the One, and in so fair Hopes of the Other?
A47927Is it the Model, or the Uniformity that troubles you?
A47927Is not God to be found in a Parlour, as well as in a Steeple- House?
A47927Is not That Crime enough?
A47927Is not That Sermon think ye that you sent me last Night a pretty Squib to cast into a populous ▪ Town, that''s Preach''d half to Gunpowder already?
A47927Is not This to Charge the Church of England with Apostacy?
A47927Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too?
A47927Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge?
A47927Is this your Eight a clock?
A47927Is''t not so?
A47927Liberty of Conscience?
A47927Look back to the beginning of the Late Warr, and tell me; Do not you believe that there are more Non- Conformists Now, then there were Then?
A47927Marqu''d for Destruction?
A47927May not every thing Imaginable appear Non- Indifferent to some or other; if nothing can be commanded, but what upon such a Phansy may be Disobey''d?
A47927May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not so to Another?
A47927Nay, Certainly the Popular Form was first, for How could there be a King without a People?
A47927Not at all; Your Actions indeed are Limited, but your Thoughts are Free; What do''s This or That Garment, or Gesture Concern the Conscience?
A47927Now place the Power where ye please; Do ye own the Kings Authority, or do ye Disclaim it?
A47927Now tell me, What Right have You to be Judges in your own Case, any more then They in Theirs?
A47927Now the Question is not, Whether Imputed or not, but whether a Sin or no?
A47927One man may have a Reall Scruple; and All the Rest, Pretend one; Who shall Distinguish?
A47927Or do ye accompt the Sanction of any One Form Whatsoever, to be Lawfull?
A47927Or that we owe them less After Misgovernment, than we did Before?
A47927Or why should not All be Tolerated as well as Any?
A47927Or will ye call it Choyce, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone?
A47927Pray''e let mee ask you One Question: Who Brought in This King?
A47927Pray''e where have You your Intelligence?
A47927Prethee is''t a Secret?
A47927Put case we were, what Then?
A47927Ruine of Liberty?
A47927Scruple, What say You to This?
A47927Secondly, Whether was first in the World, One Man, or More?
A47927Shall the King therefore Dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals?
A47927Shall the Magistrate make me Act against my Conscience?
A47927Shall the People be left to do what they List, because a great many of them, would do what they should not?
A47927Shall the Subject make Him Tolerate against His?
A47927Shall the Vice or Error of the Person, blemish the faultless Dignity of the Order?
A47927Shall we stand to his Award what ever it be?
A47927So that the Issue lies within This Compass; Whether the Soveraignty be in the King, or in the People?
A47927Soft and fair, I beseech ye; what is''t you undertake to do?
A47927Suppose the Determination to be manifest Errour, or Injustice; would you have the same Submission pay''d to''t, as if it were Equity, and Truth?
A47927Take a- away the Sanction, and what signifies the Law?
A47927The Ark of God is( at this instant) in Danger of being lost, D''ye see?
A47927The Loss of the Ark?
A47927The Question in hand is This; Whether the Nonconformists be not an Intelligent, as: well as a Numerous and Wealthy Party?
A47927The Question is, Upon Whom the Guilt of the Kings Bloud lyes?
A47927The Truth is, I am not yet Resolv''d to Burn for This Opinion; but what do ye think of a Limited, or Partial Toleration?
A47927Their Opinions,& c. — For to Tolerate, No body knowes Whom, or What, would be a little with the Largest, I think; would it not?
A47927Those that singly wish to be Discharg''d from the Act of Uniformity; or Those that would have no Law at all?
A47927To give you a fresh Instance; What could be more Pious, Gracious, or Obliging, then his Majesties Late Declaration, in Favour of the Non- conformists?
A47927Truth, or Authority?
A47927Very Good, and what do ye think as to Matter of Conscience?
A47927WHat ha''s your Party( Gentlemen) Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule, should be Granted in Your Favour?
A47927WHat''s your Opinion of the Necessity of a Iudge?
A47927Was Peters a Presbyterian?
A47927We have it now from the same Hand, that the Ark is in Danger, and what''s that but The Good Old Cause over again, only a little vary''d in the Dress?
A47927Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands?
A47927Well, and How do ye find it?
A47927Well, but supposing these unhappy Clashings among Themselves, how does that prove them in Confoederacy against the Publique?
A47927Well, but what''s This to Us, or Our Opinions?
A47927Were''t not a Thousand Pitties now, to refuse This Tender Sort of Christians a Toleration?
A47927What Act so Horrid, that has not past for a Divine Impulse; and( if it Hit) the Author of it for an Inspired Instrument of Iustice?
A47927What Design could They have in That?
A47927What Mortal can pretend to take it from ye?
A47927What Prerogative have You above Your Fellows?
A47927What Reason of State can You now produce that may Move his Majesty to Grant the Non- Conformists a Toleration?
A47927What Sort of Ruine do ye mean?
A47927What are their Names?
A47927What could the Wit of Man add more to This Temptation to Apostacy?
A47927What do ye think of Poland then?
A47927What do ye think of Preston- Fight?
A47927What do ye think of Rutherford?
A47927What follows upon''t?
A47927What if a Single Person hitts That Truth which a General Council Misses?
A47927What if it yields?
A47927What is This but a meer Trifling of Government, to suppose a Law without an Obligation?
A47927What is This, but to bring Authority to the Barr, and set the Subject upon the Bench?
A47927What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdomes, but the Contrary?
A47927What is it that either Invites Tyranny, or Upholds it, but the Opinion of an Unaccomptable- Sovereignty?
A47927What is it, but in plain Terms, to sollicit the Multitude to a Tumult?
A47927What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate?
A47927What not in Case of Errour?
A47927What swarms of Heresies have Over- spread This Land, since the Bible has been deliver''d up to the Interpretation of Private Spirits?
A47927What was it but That which was given to Quiet the Faction that enabled them to take All the Rest?
A47927What was it, but the Operation of That Poyson in the People, which was Instill''d into them by their Ministers?
A47927What will you forfeit if I shew you Hundreds?
A47927What will your Lives, or Estates avail ye, without the Gospel?
A47927What''s David''s Case to Ours?
A47927What''s Indifference to Christianity?
A47927What''s to be done in This Case?
A47927What''s your Conceit for That?
A47927What''s your Opinion( Gentlemen) of the Warr Rais''d in — 41. was it a Rebellion, or no?
A47927What''s your Quarrel to''t?
A47927Whence was the Original of Power, and what Form of Government was First, Regal, or Popular?
A47927Where are our Moses''s, Our Elijah''s?
A47927Where do they Dwell?
A47927Where do ye find that Kings Reign upon Condition of Ruling Righteously?
A47927Where is it Not rather; to any man that will but look about him, without winking?
A47927Where''s the Equity of it as to Those that are Excluded?
A47927Whether do you believe Scandal to be any more Tolerable, than Schism?
A47927Whether of the Two shall Over- rule?
A47927Which will you have him follow?
A47927Who lays to Heart, Who Regards what shall become of Religion?
A47927Who shall define, Which are Fundamentals, and which not?
A47927Who shall pretend to Iudge of my Conscience, beside God, and my self?
A47927Why do ye Charge those Exorbitancies upon the whole Party, that were the Crimes only of some Particular and Ambitious Men?
A47927Why should not every Man be Govern''d by his Own Conscience, as well in Consort, as in Solitude?
A47927Why then no more is Conscience; for if you exclude Pagans, upon what Accompt is''t?
A47927Will Toleration suit All Judgments any better then Uniformity?
A47927Will a Toleration of This Latitude content ye?
A47927Will ye have it Generall?
A47927Will ye have the Truth on''t?
A47927Will ye make the Parliament then, and the Synod, Confederate with the Rabble?
A47927Will ye now see the Correspondence betwixt these Gentlemens Words, and their Actions?
A47927Will yee see then what they did afterward when they were at Liberty to do what they Listed?
A47927Will you Divide your Matter then, and Assign to every Judicable Point, his Proper Judge?
A47927Will you pretend to enter into Mens Thoughts?
A47927Would ye have a particular Indulgence?
A47927Would ye have it Granted in favour of the Conscience that Desires it, or in Allowance of the Tolerated Opinion?
A47927Would you ha''me open my Door to a Troop of Thieves, because two or three of my honest Friends are in the Company?
A47927Would you have a Law made that shall comply with All Consciences?
A47927Y''Intend to Petition the Parliament; Do ye not?
A47927You Love the Bishops too I hope, Do ye not?
A47927You forget that you Condemn your own Practice; for why may not I Charge Personal Extravagancies upon your Party, as well as You do it upon Ours?
A47927You have great Reason sure, and''t is no more than every man may challenge: That is, to Stand, or Fall, to his own Conscience: Is That your Principle?
A47927You have speculated here some Airy Inconveniences; but where''s the Real hazard of receding from that Inexorable strictness?
A47927You should rather have Asked, What can justifie the Toleration of a Troublesome People?
A47927Your Party desires a Toleration, is''t not so?
A47927[ And what follow''d?]
A47927[ The Presbyterians Spoyl''d Him as a King, before Others Executed Him as a Private Man][ Have they not Hunted and Persu''d Him with Sword, and Fire?
A47927[ f] Made Scotland one Common- wealth with England,& c. Have they now kept any better Touch with the Liberty and Property of the Subject?
A47927and how far Reason of State may prevail for the Toleration of a sort of people in so many Respects considerable?
A47927and what am I the better for That Enquiry, if when I have Learn''d my Duty, I am debar''d the Liberty to Practise it?
A47927but what if you''ll understand That to be Schism, which I know to be Conscience?
A47927narrowly look''d into, what are they but meere Phansie, Artifice, or Delusion?
A47927or Estate?
A47927or That Liberty Conscientious which the Magistrate believes Unlawful?
A47927or any Consent without Knowledge?
A47927or any Knowledge in a Case of Invincible Ignorance?
A47927or rather, Was there any thing of Conscience in the Case?
A47927or why should the King favour his Competitours?
A47927or, Will ye have it, that our Duty to God ceases, in the Act of becoming Subjects to a Civil Magistrate?
A47927shall we wrangle Eternally?
A47927to tell them( in Effect) that They''ll be Damn''d, if they Obey; and( in a word) to make the Rabble Judges of their Governours?
A47927was That a Iuggle too?
A47927when the Glory is Gone, who would Desire to Live?
A47927— What is the Glory of England; What is the Glory of Christianity but the Gospel?
A2685913. they are Commanded to be Followers of their Guides?
A268592,& 3. to reform themselves, if they had not Power to do it?
A2685920. by reason of the number of them?
A2685960 But wherein lay the different Cases?
A26859All Christian Churches are tied by the common Divine Rule; and is not consent to that enough to make a Church?
A26859All men are heterodox in some degree?
A26859All the doubt is, what is meant by the same Canon or Rule?
A26859And are not the Church of England Protestants?
A26859And are they not several Families still?
A26859And are you sure that none are understanding that be not as partially Censorious as you?
A26859And do you think that the Greek Churches have not Power to govern and reform themselves, though they be not a National Church?
A26859And doth your rule do otherwise?
A26859And had not those as good right that were not under the Roman Empire?
A26859And how little hold is there of them; if so many of the best of them will so easily change with the times?
A26859And if all be resolved into the implicite belief of the Bishops, why not of the civil Rulers as well?
A26859And is all necessary which is lawful?
A26859And is it his Civil Laws for Church- Government that you mean, or the Clergies Canons, or God''s Laws?
A26859And is it not a whole Church, if it be without a Form, which not God but Man is the Author of?
A26859And is not Printing a far more Publick declaration, than speaking it in one Room?
A26859And is not Union possible with such as Cyprian and the Carthage Bishops?
A26859And is not this a worse usurpation than to make new Ceremonies?
A26859And is the Controversy de nomine, Whether they might be called the Lydian Church, when we expected a satisfactory explication de re?
A26859And is this in your judgment, a tolerable Plea for Separation?
A26859And it is not much better to pretend that I or they were in all things of their mind: Doth the Assemblies judgment concern me any more than you?
A26859And must we have no Union till we can in all things think as you do?
A26859And now to your[ Why not?]
A26859And now, is the Synods Judgment more ours or yours?
A26859And of Man''s making, who can number the sorts that are and may be made?
A26859And of the first sort, what Independent is there that holdeth not an Vniversal Church at least, besides particular Congregations?
A26859And what be the common Tyes and Rules of Order which you mean?
A26859And what if any Subjects think that the King is not Orthodox?
A26859And what if they be under divers Kings( as the Bulgarians and Greeks were,) and yet ruled by one Ecclesiastick Authority and Law?
A26859And when you ask,[ Is it for fear they should have none left to preach to?]
A26859And who doth not distinguish between the Constitution and Administration, the Status and the Exercitium?
A26859And who then is the great Nonconformist and Separatist, You or I; if this be your mind?
A26859And why might it not be called the Lydian Church while it was a part of the Empire, as the African and other Countries were?
A26859And will you own that for these, dissenters may be called Schismaticks?
A26859And yet are you one that would have them all Silenced?
A26859And you make it not intelligible, whether by the Rules of the Christian Religion you mean only the Divine Rule?
A26859And ▪ Must they therefore Live without Sacramental Communion?
A26859And, If this be true, Is it Schism to take such for none of our Pastors?
A26859And, VVhat need have we to pray, Lead us not into Temptation?
A26859And, if they seek Relief of Nonconforming Ministers, Publickly and Privately, Whether it be Sinful Separation?
A26859And, is it not a Hindering of God''s Word?
A26859Are all different modes of Worship enough to make our Party Separatists?
A26859Are none of our Hearers more competent Judges than their Accusers, what profiteth their own Souls?
A26859Are none of our hearers more competent judges than their Accusers what profiteth their own souls?
A26859Are not the Laity, by your Canon to be denied the Sacrament, if they be not willing of your Episcopal Confirmation?
A26859Are not the Laity, by your Canon, forbidden to Receive the Sacrament in another Parish?
A26859Are not the Laity, that dare not Receive the Sacrament Kneeling, for the Reasons else- where mentioned, to be denied the Sacrament by your Rule?
A26859Are these notifying Terms for a Definition?
A26859Are these separating Schismaticks, that differ from each other?
A26859Are they bound to Sin against their Consciences, or to leave their Children Unbaptised?
A26859Are you sure, that the Independents take your Parishes for true Churches?
A26859As if they that have Communion with your Diocesan- Church, must have Communion with no other?
A26859At least, Who will think, that you may Judge them Separatists, or guilty of Schism?
A26859Be the thousands of your Parish as wise that hear you not?
A26859But do you understanding men know our hearts better than we?
A26859But either this Synod were in the right or not: If not, why then will you follow them, or plead their testimony?
A26859But if it be not the Laws of Usurpers in the Roman Empire by your measure?
A26859But if it be omitting any thing else in your rule that maketh a separation, what is it?
A26859But is the remedy impossible to the Imposers?
A26859But is there no more in your Application?
A26859But what abundance of Church- Forms, Supream and Subordinate may diversity of Magistracy make?
A26859But what if the Law forbad you to preach at a certain hour — do you separate from the Church, if you miss your hour?
A26859But what is all this de nomine to the Controversy?
A26859But what is all this to the business of Separation?
A26859But who shall judge whether the Bishops be Orthodox?
A26859But, What is Man?
A26859But, others do?
A26859By what Law?
A26859Can you tell so easily why it was done, and not tell that indeed it was done at all?
A26859Christian Societies are of divers species: Do you mean Christian Civil Societies, Kingdoms, free Cities,& c. or Churches?
A26859Did Robert Grosthead of Lincoln take this to be the greatest Sin save Antichrists, and do you take it for an Act Authoriz''d?
A26859Did not you conform to them as much as I did?
A26859Did our 18 or 19 years Silencing them, do that?
A26859Did the Churches under the Roman Power exercise their great diversity in Liturgies and other accidents of Worship without right?
A26859Did you not write to be understood?
A26859Did you write this as a Confutation of any body?
A26859Do not my Books which you cite, copiously express the contrary?
A26859Do we condemn men that do not all that is lawful to do?
A26859Do we not over and over tell Men, that the word[ Church] must be considered as equivocal, generical, and specifical?
A26859Do we take[ the Holy Catholick Church] in the Creed for a particular Congregation?
A26859Do you make Separation and distinct Communion the same thing, 〈 ◊ 〉 divers?
A26859Do you mean all these?
A26859Do you mean here by[ Rulers] the same as before by[ Laws] or what mean you?
A26859Do you mean that a[ Church] hath but one Notion?
A26859Do you not differ much more among your selves; as I before shewed?
A26859Do you take Separation here in the same sence as before and after; or Equivocally?
A26859Do you take all the Christians in the Turkish Empire to be one National Church, or not?
A26859Do you think that he is a Separatist that meeteth not in the same Parish Church with you?
A26859Do you think the Papists had not rather( with you) that we were Silenced, than that we Preach, who have been their greatest Adversaries?
A26859Do you think there is no other Species of a Church, besides that which is Constituted by the Christian Magistrate as Head?
A26859Doth any Man believe that it is in all these Texts taken in the same Notion( or sence)?
A26859Doth bare Conforming make all this difference?
A26859Doth it not allow the Sacred Scriptures?
A26859Doth making a City or Kingdom dissolve Families?
A26859Doth not our Practice( who go to the Parish Churches) shew our Judgments to the People if we said nothing?
A26859For where was any separation made but upon such a pretence?
A26859Had not they a right to govern and reform themselves variously as they did?
A26859Have I flattered them?
A26859Have I not said more against their faults than you have done, though not against their Duty?
A26859Have not all Diocesan Churches power to govern and reform themselves?
A26859Hooker doth, That if he be the Head of a Christian Church, it is necessary that he be a Christian?
A26859How can I know whom to obey, or when I separate from the Form of Government, if I know not what it is?
A26859How can you think that we can feel their censures, when we have so much worse to feel from the Canoneers?
A26859How come some that I thought the wisest that I know of your Auditors, to say as I say, and lament your Case?
A26859How dreadful and unsearchable are the Judgments of God?
A26859How few Congregations are so happy as yours, if all your Auditors are so much wiser?
A26859How many Hundred Congregations have Incumbents, whom the People never consented to; but take them for their Hinderers and Burden?
A26859How prove you that it is lawful for such to use more suitable helps, though Men forbid it?
A26859How then can you prove it True, that we Condemn them?
A26859How then could you say,[ If this be true, the Church must be dissolved as soon as the Congregation is broken up]?
A26859How then did you expect to be believed when our Books are in so many hands?
A26859How would you have all these score thousands spend the Lords day?
A26859I Answer First, How knoweth he the Negative that never heareth them, but like a separatist avoideth it as unlawful?
A26859I ask''t you formerly, is it not Sacrilege, to Alienate( unjustly) Devoted, Consecrated Persons, and worse than to Alienate Lands or Monies?
A26859I can not imagine what you will reply to this?
A26859I think he is bound to do more good then they, and not authorized to do more hurt?
A26859I. Q. I entreat you to tell me more plainly, which is the constitutive Regent part of a National Church?
A26859If I should Preach to them all against separation, and for Prelacy, were it unlawful?
A26859If Men can spare the Ministry, Why are they Maintained?
A26859If a Usurper get Possession( as K. Stephen and many others,) is the National Church then dead or null?
A26859If any in New- England had done it, is that our doing?
A26859If men be wrongfully Excommunicate, are they thereby absolved from all publick Worshipping of God?
A26859If men will ca nt over still, Who shall be Judge?
A26859If not, how could the Christian Church in its best and purest times, pretend to reduce Bishops and Presbyters to a Lay- Communion?
A26859If not; Is not difference in such Doctrines as great a difference, as using and not useing some of your Liturgick Forms and Ceremonies?
A26859If the Act of Vniformity, or the Canons be your Religion, Do not they allow God''s Word?
A26859If the Dean of St. Pauls be called the Parson of the Parish, and Preach to others that can Hear him, Will that serve the Needs of all the rest?
A26859If they are needful for the Safety of Mens Souls, Must so many Thousands hazard their Souls for want of needful Help, lest they be called Separatists?
A26859If this be unjust, is it Separation to be so Excommunicated?
A26859If we prefer our Little interest, why do we not Conform?
A26859If yea, than how much more would such Conformity to sin do it?
A26859Is Authority vain, unless all the rest turn like to Atheists?
A26859Is all the Matter, that We are Teachers, which the Law alloweth not?
A26859Is any time or place allowed us to preach in?
A26859Is every line and Ceremony Essential to the Church, and to each member?
A26859Is every one a Separatist that differeth from you in Doctrine, in publick Preaching?
A26859Is he a Separatist that liveth in your Parish, and ordinarily meeteth not in your Temple, but another allowed place?
A26859Is it Papists, Arrians, Eutychians,& c. or only the Orthodox?
A26859Is it Schism in France, and such other Countries, for the Protestants to Meet to Preach and Worship God, against the Wills of the King and Bishops?
A26859Is it Schism, or Sinful Separation, to Disobey a Command about Religion, which no Man hath true Authority to Give?
A26859Is it Schism, to Obey such Commands?
A26859Is it Separation for men to Refuse ▪ Pastors that are Usurpers, and have no true Power over them?
A26859Is it a sin to know when a man is in prison, or when his goods or books are distrained,& c?
A26859Is it because they neither Separate from the Conformists, or Nonconformists?
A26859Is it better let them hear none at all than that we preach to them?
A26859Is it for fear they should have none left to Preach to?
A26859Is it herefore unlawful, for any to teach them there, or receive them to pub ● ike Worship?
A26859Is it not likely that in season they preach their judgment?
A26859Is it only de nomine, or de re that you ask?

A26859Is it unlawful to preach when forbidden, or worship God when forbidden, at Japon, Indostan, China, Turkie, France,& c. or only in England?
A26859Is not the Separation of whole Churches much worse than of single Persons from one Church, when it is upon unwarrantable cause or reasons?
A26859Is our Concent with the Universal Church, or your singularity from it, liker to Schism or Separation?
A26859Is that Separating?
A26859Is this it that you mean in your Description?
A26859Is this nothing to our Case?
A26859Is this the formal reason of separation?
A26859Is this then any satisfying Definition?
A26859It must needs be then against my will; and is none of my size to be endured?
A26859It s true: But did they do well or ill before?
A26859It''s lawful to have Communion with an ignorant Reader, or a drunken Priest( at least in your Judgment;) Is it therefore a duty to seek no better?
A26859It''s lawful to have Communion with the French, Dutch, or Greek Church; must constant Communion be therefore a Duty?
A26859Let that be the rule: who shall be judge whether it be sin or not?
A26859May it not be a Parliament when the House is risen, tho it be only for the work of assembled Men that they are related and denominated?
A26859May it not continue a School, when the Boys go home or play?
A26859Men may be saved that hear not you: But how can they believe, unless they hear, or hear without a Preacher?
A26859Must we not then Meet and Worship as we can, when you wrongfully Excommunicate us?
A26859Must we repeat these things as oft as you accuse us?
A26859Nay what Church is there to be named, that doth not assume this power to it self, without the least suspition of Sacriledge?
A26859No doubt of that: But to what purpose is it?
A26859Or do you take a Christian Kingdom and a Christian Church for the same, as the Erastians do?
A26859Or is it that two National Churches may have different Accidents of Worship or Discipline?
A26859Or which of them?
A26859Or why not as the Papists on Pope and Councils?
A26859Or, Have you proved, That I go by any other Rule?
A26859Or, if they be your Rules, omitting that, Is not Vsing another?
A26859Q. I intreat you tell me plainly, what you would have the many score thousands do on the Lords days, who can not hear in the Parish Churches?
A26859Secondly, whether( if humane) its Power be from the Prince, or from the Consent of the particular Churches?
A26859So farr as your accusation is untrue as to the fact, it''s but a further ill intimation to ask, why they do not that which they do?
A26859So that you do no worse, than for Union, to prove our Union impossible: and who is it that makes it so?
A26859Sure it is not to Refuse an usurper of the Kingly Power?
A26859Teach us what to say to the Papists, when they shall accordingly say to us[ what though there was no Vniversal Pastor in the Primitive times?
A26859The Duke of Brandenburghs Subjects judge him not Orthodox: Are they therefore absolved from obeying him in matters of Religion?
A26859The word Heresie with a Papist, and the word[ Separation] and[ Schism] with some Conformists, seem to be terms of Art: But what Art is it?
A26859Thirdly, what it is empowered to do?
A26859This being past doubt, were the Universal Church Separatists?
A26859This is true: and when said we otherwise?
A26859Though you excel us, do all others so?
A26859Till you tell us, how can we judge of our separation: what if an interdict silence all the Ministers in a Kingdome, must all obey?
A26859V. Doth every disobedience to the King, and Laws, and Canons in matters of Religion, Government and Worship, make men Separatists?
A26859VVhat are the Rules which we go by, which the Established Religion alloweth not?
A26859Was Guildas a Separatist that told the Brittish Wicked Priests, That they were not Christ''s Ministers, but Traitours?
A26859Was it a Divine Rule or a Humane?
A26859Was there not this Agreement in the case of Cyprian and the Council, who persuaded the People to separate from Martial and Basilides?
A26859We have been silent about eighteen years, while men have call''d to us[ What is it that you would have?]
A26859Well; now what is the crime of separation?
A26859Were all those Councils Separatists, that Decreed, That none shall hear Mass from a Fornicating Priest?
A26859Were they not as much your Brethren as mine, and nearer to your Judgment?
A26859Were you not willing to take notice of this?
A26859What Cause have we all to VVatch and Pray, That We enter not into Temptation?
A26859What Law of God bindeth all Men to stand to their Choice?
A26859What Sacraments do you mean?
A26859What a Case were Hungary, Poland, France, Germany, and the Greek Churches in, if this were true?
A26859What a sad Case were the Christian World in, if we may lawfully have no other Pastors than Gentlemen and Princes choose for us?
A26859What distinction of Communion is it that you mean?
A26859What doth your National Church differ from a Christian Kingdom, which we deny not?
A26859What harm will it do me, or them, if my Hearers go from me( as you say) to Dr. O?
A26859What if culpably they would hear no other?
A26859What if it be more then can be spared without the Churches wrong?
A26859What if it be most, must most obey?
A26859What if the fault which we blame some for, be their judging it unlawful to hear such as you?
A26859What if we held that the Church were so called barely in relation to Publick Worship?
A26859What if you by Calumny call my ordinary hearers Separatists, and they are not such?
A26859What is it for?
A26859What mean you by the[ Notion of a Church] which all Men know is an equivocal word?
A26859What mean you by[ Forming] a Congregation?
A26859What mean you then by reducing these Kingdoms back to Families, when they are Families still?
A26859What shew is there of such a consequence?
A26859What wonder if you shall do so?
A26859What''s that to me, and all such other?
A26859When Christ tells us how hard it is for the Rich to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven?
A26859When there are 〈 ◊ 〉 many things which may distinguish?
A26859Where then will you fix the notifying Character?
A26859Whether Heathens, Infidels, Mahometans, Socinians, Arians, Macedonians, Eutkchians, Monothelites, Image- worshipers, Papists, Anabaptists, or who?
A26859Whether the King, or a Sacerdotal Head?
A26859Whether to Separate from such a Parish, be to Separate from a Church in the sense in question?
A26859Which Party are the Schismatick?
A26859Which of the Bishops thought it any Sin, in the Dayes of Usurpation, to forsake their Parish- Churches?
A26859Who made You a more Reverend and Credible Judge of Separation, than Cyprian, and this Council?
A26859Whom did we cast out of all Church Maintenance?
A26859Whom did we ever forbid to Preach the truth?
A26859Whom did we imprison?
A26859Why ask you[ To what purpose should you resolve those Queries?]
A26859Why do they not Preach it to them in their Congregations?
A26859Why may not Divine Laws make a Church?
A26859Why then do you tell me of what I have written against Separation?
A26859Why then may they not make as many forms as there are Kingdomes, if not an universal Pope by the consent of most?
A26859Why think you that it is worse than that so many be untaught?
A26859Why will you so reproach your Church?
A26859Will you own that yet they may in his name be imposed on the World?
A26859Will you own them to be devised without Gods authority, and yet to be preferred to those that he instituted?
A26859Will you own your Churches de Specie to be new, and yet appeal to antiquity?
A26859Will your Logick prove, that we call it their fault to hear us; as if hearing us, and not hearing you, were words of the same signification?
A26859With such not ● to Eat,] and[ From such turn away 〈 ◊ 〉 it I ● tolerable?
A26859Would I have none taught the knowledge of Christ, but by my self?
A26859Would you have Excommunicate Men, Communicate with you?
A26859Would you think that all this intimated silence were an untruth against publick Testimony?
A26859Yea, if your Church be but a Christian Kingdom, do not you cut off all from that Kingdom too, that refuse your Forms or Ceremonies or Subscriptions?
A26859You Separate from My Auditory, and more than Separate; and I Separate not from Yours: Who then is the Separatist?
A26859You say[ we deny the fact which is evident to all persons] and you speak of me: Is this true?
A26859You will not tell me, because you can not tell me, how we shall know what Magistrates they be that have this trust?
A26859[ But why then is this kept as such a mighty secret in the Breasts of their Teachers?
A26859[ They generally yield, that our Parochial Churches are true Churches; and it is with these that Communion is required] Say you so?
A26859[ Where are the Priscillians that have been put to death by their instigation?
A26859and doth not more to make them to be of two Churches?
A26859and have they not still a distinct Family- power to govern and reform themselves, tho not a Regal Power?
A26859and how it cometh to be any great matter to separate from a Church- Form which God never made?
A26859and how it is proved?
A26859and that he was not Eximius Christianus, that would call them Priests, or Ministers of Christ?
A26859and that the Chief Power was in them, to Choose the Worthy, or Refuse the Unworthy?
A26859and that they were guilty of Sin, if they joyned with such Sinners?
A26859and to dread the Spiritual Judgments of God?
A26859and where?
A26859and whether you mention it as the uniting Bond, or only as a Rule to some humane Rule?
A26859and who hath the Power ever since?
A26859and who is the Schismatick here?
A26859and who must judge of their qualifications?
A26859and, Why then of the Church- Power?
A26859doth it follow that this Relation ceaseth as soon as the several Acts of Worship cease?
A26859may we then lawfully Preach to them?
A26859must the Church be still in infancy?
A26859nor why you would intimate the contrary to your Readers?
A26859or a Christian more than a heathen?
A26859or do they lose their Right to all Church- Communion?
A26859or not willing that others should take notice of it?
A26859or to make them all do that which they think to be unlawful?
A26859or, Prefer such pastors as Refuse them?
A26859or, any other to receive them, if they dare not Receive it from a Non- Preaching Minister at Home?
A26859we do it by no other rule but the Scripture; and doth not the Church require that the Scripture be a Rule?
A26859what Informers, what indictments, what prosecutions, what invectives are equally against all these aforesaid?
A26859what more natural than to propagate our like?
A26859what though many things in discipline and worship be changed since?
A26859why may not they also be called One Church, as the Moscovites are now called part of the Greek Church?
A26859why must you disturb the peace of the Church by reducing things to the infant State?
A26859yea, and think this impertinent to the business?
A61876''T is filthiness; Will a man continue in filth, in dirt and mire: In the filth of the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life?

A61876But what is to be done that we may have God to be with us?
A61876But who ever sought God and found him not?
A61876But will it ever be said God is not?

A61876Daniel is cast into the Den of Lions: Was he torn or hurt by them?
A61876Deal truly, what time have you set a part for the washing and purging of your Heads, Hearts, and Hands?
A61876Did Christ give himself to suffer all this, that he might separate and deliver you from conformity to this world?
A61876Did he not make it good against the Jews, his own peculiar people?

A61876For shall the more noble conform to the more ignoble?
A61876Fourthly, Why?
A61876God he turns away; For what communion hath light with darkness?
A61876Gods resistance supposes mans assault, and did ever any harden themselves against God and prosper?
A61876Had others received the mercies you have, and being beseeched by them, would they not, think you, be perswaded?
A61876Has pains been taken about it?
A61876Has this purging of your selves cost you Prayers and Tears before''t was done?

A61876Have you your monthly, quarterly, and half- yearly washing and purging dayes for your Souls?
A61876Have you- gone into King Jesus, as Esther into King Ahasueru ●?
A61876How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within th ● e?
A61876How much more may Christ say, when he looks on the Heads, Necks, and Backs, and Feet of many Professors; To what purpose is this waste?
A61876How near may the Mother be, when the Child thinks her lost, and falls a crying?
A61876How shall we do to please God?

A61876If God be for us, who can be against us?
A61876If God do not stand in the way, and hedge up the way with thornes?
A61876If all this be so, then consider we ▪ our selves, Are we purged from our filthiness?
A61876If not, say to thy soul, Is not my case as bad as the case of unbaptized Infidels?
A61876If the Disciples of Christ had indignation at the pouring of Ointment on the Head of Christ; and if they said, To what purpose is this waste?
A61876If the Prince resolve this man shall dye for it, is not his resolution just?
A61876If the Question should be asked whither Card- playing, and Dice- playing be a sin?
A61876If these have assuredly drunk, are you those that shall go altogether unpunished?
A61876In lusting after Pleasure, Profit, and Preferment; are not ▪ these in too great account with us?
A61876Is Carding and Dicing of good report?
A61876Is England?
A61876Is God with us so great a priviledge, and so much to be desired?
A61876Is London?
A61876Is it not an ordinance of Jesus Christ?
A61876Is it not that course that others with success have used?
A61876Is it your care to keep your self unspotted, as pure Religion binds you to do?
A61876Is no offence given by it?
A61876Is not that which is highly esteemed among men, abominable in the sight of God?
A61876Is not this to be a comfort to the wicked world?
A61876Is not this to call men on Earth, our Father, Master?
A61876Is not this to have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness?

A61876Is our s ● um gone out?
A61876Is there any unreasonableness or unrighteousness in the prescribing of it?
A61876Is this not to harden them in their sinful course?
A61876Is this to Humble our selves under Gods mighty hand?
A61876Is this to Judge our selves?
A61876Is this to Keep our selves from our iniquity?
A61876Is this to Lay to heart the afflictions of Joseph?

A61876Is this to Order our steps in Gods word, as David prayed he might?
A61876Is this to Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God; as you are by the mercies of God beseeched to do?
A61876Is this to Put off the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts?
A61876Is this to Put off your ornaments from you, that God may know what to do unto you?

A61876Is this, Not to lift up our souls to vanity?

A61876Know you not that the world you conform to lies in wickedness?
A61876Knowest then not O my soul, that they who are baptized into Jesus Christ, are baptized into his death?
A61876Might not the money given for these things have been saved and given to the poor?
A61876Name the Person if you can that ever was denied Gods presence, if he prayed for it?
A61876Nay is it not to commend the world, and say you do well to be Proud, Covetous, Wanton,& c. Is this to be converted, and become as little Children?
A61876Nay is it not to harden them in their sinful wayes and fashions?
A61876Nor no resisting?
A61876Now I beseech you let''s deal truly with our selves, do not we conform to this world in these?
A61876Now do you think in your Consciences that Carding and Dicing, as commonly used, is done to the glory of God?
A61876Now is it thus used, and if not, is it according to the rule?
A61876Now is not this a good reason why the people of God should not conform to this world?

A61876Now sirs, when all shall forsake you, if you shall not be able to say with Paul, the Lord stands by me, what will you do?
A61876Now, judge in your own Consciences, should they who have such excellent patterns, conform to the pattern of a base world?
A61876O my Lord, saith he, If the Lord be with us, why is all this be fallen us?
A61876Oh what is this that thou hast done?
A61876Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
A61876Our chaffe scattered and burnt?
A61876Our dross separated from us?
A61876Our filth done away?
A61876Our rust gotten off?
A61876Pray then for the presence of God, let God see that you will not be satisfied without him: How unsatisfied are some without Persons and Things?
A61876Quarrelsom, Contentious; Are not Professors so too?
A61876Redeeming of time, to spend so many hours in making provision for the flesh?
A61876Revengeful; Are not Professors so too?
A61876Say again Have I applied it, and am I cleanfed from my filthiness?
A61876Say to thy self, Does not water in Baptism signifie and seal by Divine Institution?
A61876Say to thy self, Does not water in Baptism signifie and seal the cleansing blood of Christ, and our justification and sanctification thereby?
A61876Say to thy self, was not this water applied to me?
A61876Say, Believe O my soul, go to the fountain, wilt thou dye in thy filth, and under the fury of the Almighty God?
A61876Secondly, Can you think of a better, a safer course?
A61876Secondly, What meant by Conformed?
A61876Secondly, Where?
A61876Secondly, Where?
A61876Should they who have Christ and the Spirit of God in them, conform to them who have Satan and the Spirit of the world in them?
A61876Si ● s were you clean born, shaped in holiness?
A61876Sirs, who layes the Cloth, who spreads the Table, who sends in provision?
A61876Sirs, would you have his company, whom you have no love for?
A61876So Moses tells the same people, If thou shalt say in thy heart, these Nations are more then I, how can I dispossess them?
A61876So will God say to thee, if thou say to hi, as Ahab said to Jehosaphat; wilt thou go with me to Ramoth Gilead?
A61876So, sinner what is this that thou hast done?
A61876Such as are upright in their way are his delight: and what will not a man do for such in whom he delights?
A61876The Holy Spirit is not?
A61876Then examine, Is God with us?
A61876There shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their own lusts( and sure they are come) Saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A61876Therefore what ever you do, get God to be with you: Secondly, The world is with you, and''t is a bewitching, ensnaring, and mischeiving world?
A61876These are terrible threats, but who trembles at the reading or hearing of them?
A61876Thirdly, If you can not, are you resolved upon this?
A61876Thirdly, When?
A61876To Glorifie God with our bodies?
A61876To be Transformed by the renewing of your minds?
A61876To justifie the worl ●?
A61876Treacherous; Are not Professors so too?
A61876VVhat say you to a Refuge, a Rock, a Tower, when you are pursued, is not that of use?
A61876VVhat say you to a portion, is not that of use?
A61876VVhat say you to a shelter in a Storm 〈 ◊ 〉 not that of use?
A61876VVhat say you to a shield in Battel, is not that of use?
A61876VVhat say you to an Inheritance, is not that of use?
A61876VVhat say you to the Light, is not that of use?
A61876We are in misery, we are unworthy, we are weak, and yet provoking; And doth God suit with such?
A61876What a presence of God had Paul with him?
A61876What are your Bodies which you thus dress up and adorn?
A61876What direction can you give us?
A61876What have you for God to do?
A61876What is this that thou hast done?
A61876What shall I say to you?
A61876What shall I say to you?
A61876What shall we say to these things?
A61876What stony hearts have they that will not yield when God thus beseeches by his mercies bestowed on them?
A61876What terrible things did he do by the Red Sea?
A61876What then is there no avoiding of this fury?
A61876What to strive for state, to seek for preheminence over one another; to be greatest, highest, bravest, finest?
A61876What were your Heads, Ears, Eyes, and Tongues?
A61876What were your Hearts, and Hands?
A61876What will you do in the day when God shall come to deal with you, and reckon with you about your layings out upon your Pride?
A61876What work will the Devil make, if God be not with us to deliver us?
A61876What, will you strive with your Maker?
A61876When shall it once be?
A61876Whither will the Devil drive you, if God do not stop him?
A61876Why Sirs shall God loose and miss of the main end of bestowing his mercies on you?
A61876Why do you not rather suffer your selves to be derided and despised?
A61876Why have you done this?
A61876Why then should I not obey this command, and believe and rest on Christ for my cleansing?
A61876Will not Linnen, Brass and Pewter Vessels be made clean, nor Bodies be purged without allowing time?
A61876Will you conform to these in the Devils ways?
A61876Will you hazard and endanger your selves by conforming to, and keeping company with the men of this world?
A61876Wilt thou not be made clean?
A61876Wilt thou not be made clean?
A61876Winning others by your conversation?
A61876Working out your salvation with fear and trembling?
A61876Would Professors were not so too?
A61876Would Professors were not so too?
A61876You would not suffer with it, and will you sin with it?
A61876You your selves turn away from filthy Creatures; and will not God much more turn away from filthy sinners?
A61876and can not the Father be with the Child that is many miles distant from him?
A61876and that from poor despicable Creatures, your servants?
A61876and that, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?
A61876and will you serve their Idols?
A61876even we who in some things are Non- conformists?
A61876for should they of better principles conform to them of worse?
A61876or shall ever any person be able to say, I would have had Jesus Christ, to be with me as a Prophet, Priest and King, but he would not?
A61876or what communion hath light with darkness?
A61876shall I praise you in this?
A61876shall any person be ever able to say, I would have had God to be my God, and to be with me as a Father, Friend, and Husband, but he would not?
A61876shall it ever be said, this poor Soul would have had the presence of God, but God would not afford it?
A61876what to those that hate you, scorn you, scoff at you, make songs upon you, speak evil of you, and separate from you in Gods ways?
A61876when shall it once be?
A61876who ever sought the presence of God; and was denied it?
A61876with such as are in misery?
A61876would Daniel be with God to the Hazard of his life?
A61876would you have him, whom you do not love to come unto you?
A61876would you have your souls gathered hereafter with those you conform to here, and whose fashions you have learned here?
A61876would you not think him to be of a flinty heart?
A61876yes, for he is gracious: and with the weak?
A61876yes, for he is long suffering, and with backslider ●?
A61876yes, for he is merciful: and with such as are unworthy?
A26911& c. And doth not the Canon yet disable them from bringing them to hear a Sermon at the next Parish Church, when they have none at Home?
A26911& c. Is the word Church here taken for no Christians longer than they are Assembled?
A2691115. and 23,& c. How can you pray for a Reformation of that which you think needeth none?
A2691127. prove, that all Nations in the World might devote their Children unto God, with the same assurance of acceptation as the Israelites?
A269116. when there were none?)
A26911A Pope is one that claimeth Soveraignty over all the Church on Earth: Doth he do so that taketh none for his Flock, but Consenters?
A26911Again I ask, Shall any man escape punishement by such a plea of mercy?
A26911Alas, how little know you what the Conformity is which you defend?
A26911Am I also a Rebel, Traytor, and no Christian, if I refuse?
A26911And are not the London Ministers able good men, that would do it if they could?
A26911And are not these made Judges of the sense of the Law?
A26911And can you think that after all this, they meant to leave it to the particular Bishops, whether there should be any Uniformity or not?
A26911And did you ever know a Child Baptized without any Sponsor?
A26911And do not Papists, and Turks say, that No Law against God is in force?
A26911And do you not plead for it openly, declaring that you Assent and Consent to all things contained in it, and prescribed by it?
A26911And doth not this imply, that else he should not come?
A26911And doth the Acts, being placed first, make it no Appendix?
A26911And doth their Government therefore contain no evil?
A26911And hath the Church and Cause of holy Discipline lost so much of your prayers too?
A26911And here he talks of the Corporation Oath, and exclaimeth[ Is this the way of curing Church Divisions?
A26911And how can the Incumbent know in such Parishes what they are?
A26911And how is it possible this can be amended rebus sic stantibus?
A26911And how is that proved?
A26911And how many such have you known in London excommunicated, or openly suspended?
A26911And if my Dissent do not Unchristen me, why doth the People''s Unchristen them?
A26911And if none be proper, what is it for him to be Great and One Law- giver to his Church?
A26911And if we begin to roul down the Hill, how little know we where to stop?
A26911And is all this fit Work for two or three singular Men?
A26911And is such a Man Unconverted?
A26911And is this the Power of the Keys or Excommunication?
A26911And is this the true and only way of Concord?
A26911And know you not that a Bishop hath no power against the Canons?
A26911And may not one profess any thing at that Rate?
A26911And must not you be a Non- conformist in the Diocess of any such Bishop as these?
A26911And must we be punished for Conforming?
A26911And shall any Wise Man follow such quick Changes?
A26911And should this be nothing to you, who call on us to reverence the Old Conformists?
A26911And that all are against it as with us that are against Diocesan Prelacy?
A26911And they have caused the Act of Elizabeth, to be bound with this Book, as it was with the Old: And doth this infer two Books from two Acts,& c?
A26911And to what purpose then do you write for Conformity, when one Lye must not be told to save our Liberty?
A26911And were it put in the end, were it not the same thing?
A26911And what can constrain an unwilling person to understand?
A26911And what drew you to begin with Reordination( which none of the Antient Non- Conformists are put upon?)
A26911And what good would so much Conformity do the Church?
A26911And what if you had proved the Salvation of all wicked Christians Baptized Infants?
A26911And what may not one thus say and swear?
A26911And what reason have we to surmise that they were not sound Believers?
A26911And what then?
A26911And what then?
A26911And what will not some Men affirm?
A26911And what''s this then to the sense of the Article in question, that speaks of all Baptized Children?
A26911And which shall stand, one or both, and how far?
A26911And who can manage an ill cause without somewhat that is too like it?
A26911And who can not pretend such scruple?
A26911And who doth any thing which needeth no repentance or amendment?
A26911And who hath equal Power with them?
A26911And who is so wise as to speak wisely at all times?
A26911And who knows how to define and bound your[ Reasons of Suspicion?]
A26911And who will not pretend it, when that will justifie them?
A26911And why do so few Conformists so use it?
A26911And why may you not say so of any Untruth?
A26911And why talk you of the Surplice, and omit the main Question, Whether we may consent to the Liturgy, Preface and Rubrick, which impose it as they do?
A26911And why was this so much disclaimed before?
A26911And would not so many good men amend it, were it possible?
A26911And yet can you assert that they are distinct Orders, when the Power of Ordaining is made the chief part of the Bishops Order?
A26911And yet do I err?
A26911And yet he before said himself, that the unwilling can not be Pastor and Flock: And is not this the same?
A26911And yet shall so sober a man tell us, That subscribing the Old Act, is subscribing the Old Book?
A26911And yet the Magistrate may make me a Pastor to the Parish?
A26911Are not Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy, three Forms, contrary to unity of Form; though Humanity, Piety, and Regiment, be the same in all?
A26911Are not all Ministers to subscribe to Administer the Sacraments in no other Form than the Liturgy?
A26911Are not true Christians saved?
A26911Are not two thousand Ministers silenced, and more, that pleaded Mercy to themselves and others, for the reason of their Non- conformity?
A26911Are these Contents part of the Book?
A26911Are they not still members of the Parish- Church?
A26911Are those then admitted, that through Prophaneness desire not God- Fathers?
A26911Are we not then concluded against Conformity by the Bishop''s judgment, by your own Rule?
A26911Break the Law and Canon, and say you did it in Mercy and kept it, and try whether you will pass for a Conformist?
A26911But by such stretches what words may not Protestant or Papist take by an Exposition of his own making?
A26911But could you think this should convince me, that know it to be false?
A26911But do you take a Bishop here for the same as a Presbyter, or as a species of Presbyters, or as a superiour to Presbyters?
A26911But how shall I know whether every Stranger that cometh in be a Christian, or was ever Baptized?
A26911But in answer to, Where read we in Scripture of the Chancellor''s Office?
A26911But is not the Appendix part of the Book?
A26911But is this obeying him, and his Church and Successors?
A26911But our question is not what the Ordinary will do, but what the Law and Canon bind him and you to do?
A26911But the question is, Whether you Assent to it,( or more?)
A26911But the question is, whether they may be Consented to, and approved?
A26911But were not Parents formerly disabled from keeping Children and Servants from spending much of the Lord''s Day in Dancing?
A26911But what Law of the Church is it that you thus perform?
A26911But what if I knew that multitudes do not so, doth it make them of that Church because they should consent and do not?
A26911But what if it be a Man that consenteth not but thinketh he doth, or yet doth not know?
A26911But what is this to Conformity?
A26911But what obligation is on me to baptize all the Children of those that take me for none of their Pastor?
A26911But what will not Men talk for?
A26911But when did you prove that every professing sign is used to the same use in specie, as the covenanting dedicating Symbol of the Cross is?
A26911But wherein is it?
A26911But who shall be judge at some Years after?
A26911But whose reputation is it that you rest on?
A26911But why did you avoid the Order of my Book''s Objections?
A26911But why did you not give some answer to my express proof of the contrary?
A26911But yet is it true?
A26911But you might have known that we will not believe you: Why then should you thus put us off with your bare word?
A26911Can not many with the Pastor better govern one Parish, than one Chancellor can many Scores, or Hundreds?
A26911Can not we thus say any thing required, and mean what we list by it?
A26911Can the Church more plainly speak the sense of her Liturgy?
A26911Can we serve them in a Prison any better than Non- Conformists may?
A26911Can you say all these words if no Sponsor be there?
A26911Can you tell what every Subscriber to this day thought?
A26911Could you have more evidently confuted your self?
A26911Did any one Church on Earth receive a Pastor by the Magistrates imposition for the first 300 Years?
A26911Did he institute Baptism and his Supper, as a meer Man, or a meer Minister?
A26911Did not he say before, that the Man can not be their Pastor without his own and the Peoples consent?
A26911Did not the Orthodox Churches commonly refuse Bishops, which Valens, and such Erroneous Emperors set over them?
A26911Did the World ever here this Doctrine before?
A26911Did they that declared it contrary to Law, declare that men may resist it by Arms?
A26911Did you dream that all these take Laymens Baptizing for null?
A26911Did you ever consider the Text?
A26911Did you ever in your life know a sinner brought to a repentance seemingly unfeigned by them?
A26911Did you ever read the Conference at Hampton Court?
A26911Did you not thus keep the end of the Law when you Preacht at Warrington?
A26911Did you think that a credible profession of true Christianity, is not a credible profession of Conversion?
A26911Did you think that this was the meaning of the Liturgy, that all Infants are saved, when it saith All the Baptized?
A26911Did you think you spake to the Case?
A26911Did your Learned, Pious, Moderate Bishop, excuse you for that plea?
A26911Do all such as are afore described, make such a credible profession of true Christianity?
A26911Do or can Bishops by Visitations know the People and their Cases of a thousand, or many hundred Parishes, so as to hear and judge them?
A26911Do they commonly resist unlawfully Commissioned Souldiers by Arms?
A26911Do they declare their Assent to all things contained in the Book, and mean only the Service which they must say?
A26911Do they swear Obedience to the Fore- man and his Successors?]
A26911Do they that extirpate Presbytery, or Democracy, extirpate all?
A26911Do you believe that a Lay- Chancellor, who you confess hath not the power of the Keys, doth or can well execute them?
A26911Do you believe that this is the Species of subjection, which is meant in the Book and Oath?
A26911Do you confute me by repeating my one words?
A26911Do you consider what you say?
A26911Do you know how many have been Fined and sent to Goal for Preaching, though they pleaded for it Mercy to Mens Souls?
A26911Do you not know how unlike their Courts are to fit a sinner for absolution by true Repetance?
A26911Do you not now dwell in London?
A26911Do you think Worshiping in the high Places, was worse than this?
A26911Do you think none of them would do it, if they thought it a duty, and the lawful and safe way of Discipline?
A26911Do you think their Parishes have no scores or hundreds of Brutists, Atheists, Drunkards, Fornicators, or other scandalous sinners?
A26911Doth he say, and unsay in the next Lines?
A26911Doth it follow then, that because Men( yea, any Man) may make a professing Sign of his Mind, that Man( yea, every Man) may make a new Sacrament?
A26911Doth not the Church Command that no Parent be God- Father to his own Child, and no Questions or Answers be used but the words of the Liturgy?
A26911Doth not the Liturgy make the God- Fathers Office necessary?
A26911Doth not this Instance prove Mr. Cheyney, to be a mistaking Expositor of the Church- Government, the Bishops themselves being Judges?
A26911Doth that prove them Ministers too?
A26911Doth the Canon that forbids Men to go from their own Parish Churches, extend to the Bishop?
A26911Doth the Command of subscribing the thirty nine Articles contain no more, but to be Orthodox?
A26911Doth the prescript of the Oath of Supremacy and Allegiance, impose no more than to be Loyal?
A26911Few God- Fathers have propriety in them: How then will their devoting prove their Salvation?
A26911For what should hinder them when it is their interest?
A26911Had it been my duty to pronounce you excommunicate, because the Chancellor decreed it?
A26911Have I in the Books, cited by you, so largely told you what I mean, and must you print the Question before you will take an Answer?
A26911Have we so many Books of Ecclesiastical Policie, if there be no Political Society that is a particular Church?
A26911Have you read Dr. Hearne, Mr. Digs, Mich. Hudson, Mr. Welden, Dr. Arnway,& c?
A26911His first Question is,[ Do we take you to have the just qualifications of a Pastor?]
A26911His second Question is,[ Do we take you to be duly ordained?]
A26911How doth the Minister know that they come not, who knoweth very few of his Parishoners?
A26911How is the Bishop one of the Parson''s Flock, and the Parson one of the Bishop''s Flock, both at once?
A26911How oft have I told you, that I am laying nothing to the Charge of others, but excusing our selves?
A26911How prove you that none of these are Dogs or Swine?
A26911How prove you that?
A26911How will the Parson practice his Conformity, who consenteth when he putteth any one from the Sacrament, to certifie the Ordinary within fourteen Days?
A26911How will you prove that they judge all true Ministers whom they Tolerate?
A26911I ask you, Where is the Priest authorized to do it?
A26911I ask, Whether you would not have c ● ● led this a Sacrament?
A26911I askt him, By whom that Child had right more than any other Heathen''s Child?
A26911I think most of England are unconfirmed; if they desire it, what keepeth them from it?
A26911I would but know whether Men may make New Sacraments of the Covenant of Grace, or not?
A26911If Consent be not expressed, how shall it be known?
A26911If Legislation, the chief part of Supreme Government, be common to him and Bishops, why is not that Royally Common?
A26911If Rebels rise in Arms against their Rulers, but yet renounce Rebellion, how are they to be expounded?
A26911If Rulers command men to marry their own Sisters, and yet say, That they abhor Incest, may one justifie this because they are against Incest?
A26911If Socinians renounce all that is against God''s Word, and yet command you to renounce Christ''s Godhead, may you do it?
A26911If before, then must they have trial of him, or take all for( Faithful) that are ordained by a Bishop?

A26911Is it not contained in the Book?
A26911Is it of no use, when the use is named in the Preface?
A26911Is it the same sort of Excommunication and Absolution which belongs to the Pastor and to a Lay- man?

A26911My belief of your unfeigned honesty makes one at last pity you, and wonder when you add[ What more would you have?]
A26911My first question is, Which way the Child cometh to have right to Baptism, any more than all the Infidels Children in the world?

A26911Or would it be here meet to write a Treatise to answer this your Challenge?
A26911Particularly about the Corporation- Declaration?
A26911Reynolds, and many other Protestants against the Papists?
A26911Saith he[ I would but ask Mr. Baxter, what is it that you mean by Associated by consent?]
A26911Soon said, but where''s the proof?
A26911That it is Jesus Christ that made this the Office of the Magistrate?
A26911The Law forbids me to say, They are, and therefore I say it not: But if you say, They are not, Dare you undertake to answer for them?
A26911They may escape the Gaol by flying their Country, as you do: But what shall they do with their Wives and Children?

A26911WHether the common sort of ungodly Christians, are to be cast out of the Church by Penal Excommunications, and used as Excommunicate ones?

A26911You say,[ The Act it self implieth it; for else, what use is there for Laws and Parliaments?
A26911You should not thus become an Incendiary, by pretending things that you will not first understand: Where do I say what you affirm?
A26911[ Prove( say you) that there is any one thing in the Book, which may not in the course of Conformity be godly used?]

A26911as Hearers, and Learners, and Candidates,& c. Do I not then honestly perform the Law?
A26911hath said against it?
A26911is,[ If we take you alone for our Pastor?]
A26911must he therefore do it that he may Preach without Persecution?
A26911of Church Government?
A26911or all the Patrons present?

A26911or that Being Strangers, they know no harm by him?
A26911or the Family part of the Porter?
A26911or the Kingdom part of the King?
A26911our of that particular Congregation?
A26911where Parishes are so great that the Parson can do no such thing on one of a Multitude, nor doth so much as know them?
A26911who despaireth of proving any thing in the world, if he can not prove that?
A26911why do you tell us, that you take them as you remember them, without the Book, and satisfie your own conscience, while you seem to answer the Book?
A26911why then did you not thus awe your Bishop and Chancellor?
A26911will he prosecute the Bishop to himself, or to his Chancellor?

A76059According to this principle,( No Communion at all, if not in all) where shall we rest?
A76059Against which of these Rules have I offended, the day foregoing?
A76059Am I a mourner for mine own, and the sins of the Land?
A76059Am I making my last Draught among you, and shall I take nothing?
A76059And doest thou say less, or other than this, whilest thou refusest, or resolvest against following thy God?
A76059And if this be the meaning, what a glorious Promise is this?
A76059And is the dissatisfaction of thy vain mind or appetite such a Burthen?
A76059And is there no need that Christ be any longer preached any where, when the Devil is preached every where?
A76059And oh will you send me away with so sad an Heart, with the sorrow and shame of the disappointed?
A76059And what place can there then be left for fear or fainting?
A76059Are my Companions in sin abandoned?
A76059Are my Sins and my Soul parted?
A76059Are not all things enough?
A76059Are there no Unbelievers left?
A76059Are there none such in this place?
A76059Are these the Things thou hast learned, and received, and heard of him?
A76059Are they not preaching daily?
A76059Are you for peace?
A76059Are you gotten to Pisgah, and have a view of the Land of Promise, and see that it is a good Land?

A76059Break off from thy Companions in sin; wilt thou love them to the death?
A76059Brethren, Do I wish you any harm in all this?
A76059Brethren, will you yet again say your Lord nay?
A76059But if there be any few relenting Hearts among you, who are brought but thus far, to cry out, Why what must I do?
A76059But is it not strange, that there should be any such?
A76059But to proceed more distinctly; How can the Saints evil things work to their good?
A76059But whether it be your last, or no, I must be henceforth silent to you?

A76059Canst thou be too sure?

A76059Canst thou want a God, a Christ, an Heaven, and thine Heart never stir at it?
A76059Captive to the Devil?
A76059Christians, you have no reason to say, If the Lord be with me, why am I thus?
A76059Come on Soul, what should hinder thee?
A76059Courteously and compassionately, that I might the better win upon them?
A76059Darest thou say, Let me have my part in the pleasures and contentments of this life, and I am cnntent to relinquish my part in Christ?
A76059Did I eat and drink to the Glory of God?
A76059Did I not eat or drink to excess?

A76059Did I not rise from the Tablewithout letting fall any thing of God there?

A76059If the Lord should take your this days deniall, for your final Answer, and never ask your consent again for ever?
A76059If the l ● st that I must preach, be the last that you must must hear?
A76059If this be so Christians, who would fear sufferings?
A76059If you ask, why, what is there in it?
A76059If you should ask of any Providence, wherefore art thou come?
A76059If you would not, you are no Christian; Si dixeris sufficit, defecisti: If you would, is that Desire conditional?
A76059If your fears affright you, and prophecy to you before hand, oh I shall never be patient; if the foresight be so dreadful, what will the encounter be?
A76059In what wilt thou rejoyce, if not in this, that the whole Creation are ingaged to do thee a kindness, to help thee into the possession of thy God?
A76059Inoffensively: Have I not been a stumbling- block to them?
A76059Is Christ and my Soul united?
A76059Is ease torment, and torment ease?
A76059Is he God, and nor man?
A76059Is he in prosperity upon a true account, whose Soul prospers not?
A76059Is he spirit and not flesh?
A76059Is it not yet more strange, that any that pretend to be set up for Lights, should be for Da ● kness?
A76059Is loss gain, and gain loss?
A76059Is not that Affliction 〈 ◊ 〉 Mercy, which secures from such Iniquity?
A76059Is pleasure pain, and pain pleasure?
A76059Is the Devil in thine heart, and it never moves thee?
A76059Is the Love, and Life, and Zeal of God, grown up to that maturity, that you need not mutual help this way?
A76059Is the end of Preaching accomplish''d?
A76059Is the work done for which all these are?
A76059Is the work of Regeneration brought to the Birth, and shall it at last miscarry, and prove an abortion?
A76059Is there no hope of recovering the opportunity?
A76059Is there not one Captive to Lust and Vanity, that''s willing to be set free from his Bondage?
A76059Is there not one Drunkard more, that will yet be perswaded to be sober?
A76059Is there nothing in those rich Promises, that have been laid before thee, which thou canst wish''t were thine?
A76059Is there so little in the peace of God, that thou canst sell it for the pleasures of sin?
A76059Is this all that I shall have, to return to the Lord, that sent me unto you?
A76059Is this the state thou art so loath to change?
A76059Is this the state thou so boastest of, and blessest thy self in?
A76059Is your Calling and Election sure?
A76059Let God let me alone in my sins, and let him damn my Soul?
A76059Let me ask you, and answer deliberately: Would you be more holy than you are, more fruitful than you are, or would you not?
A76059May it not be said to be good for any particular Saint, to bear the sorest Affliction, by which the Church may have benefit?
A76059May not sickness teach men more temperance, and poverty more frugality?
A76059May not the darkness of the night, make more diligent in the day?
A76059May not the storm, though it help not, yet hasten the Labourer on his work, the Traveller on his way?
A76059Must we call evil, good; and good, evil?
A76059Must we count darkness light, and light darkness?
A76059Must we disbelieve our Senses, lay down our Reasons, ere we can believe the Scriptures?
A76059Must we say, that contraries no longer destroy, but produce each other, and that the womb brings forth its own destruction?
A76059No need of Preaching?
A76059Not one Soul more?
A76059Not one vain person that will be perswaded to be serious?
A76059Of what is that Conscience tender, that is not tender of making Wounds and Rents, in the Body of Christ?
A76059Oh Friends, what do ye mean?
A76059Oh an Heaven, a Paradice, oh my dear pleasures, oh my sweet Daughter, oh my merry days, what Mortal can part with you?
A76059Oh how do we disparage the power of God, when our difficulties make us doubt?
A76059Oh me thinks, Christians, we should rather step one before another; and when our Lord demands, Who will go with me?
A76059Oh that thou hadst?
A76059Oh what an Eternity art thou like to have of it?
A76059Oh when you see the Fruit, where then will your Sorrow be?
A76059Open thine Eyes sinner, if ever thou wilt escape; open thine Eyes, and see where thou art?
A76059Our Impatience bears false witness against God, and his Gospel; what''s the voice or the meaning of Impatience, less than this?
A76059Patient and proud?
A76059Peaceably, not provoking them to Envy?
A76059Profitably, provoking them to love and good works?
A76059Secondly, Hath the Devil yet given over Preaching, and are the Preachers yet silent?
A76059Shall Tribulation, or Distress, or Persecution, or Famine, or Na ● edness, or Perill, or Sword?
A76059Shall evil Weeds grow so fast, and shall onely the good Corn be at a stand?
A76059Shall neither my first, nor last words prevail with you?
A76059Shall there be Evil in a City ▪ and the Lord hath not done it?
A76059Sinners hearken; Is there not one blind person among you, that is yet willing to have his Eyes open''d?
A76059Sinners, I have but little more to speak to you; but shall that little be nothing?
A76059Sinners, let my fears be your fears: What, is there such astonishing guilt upon you, and yet not afraid?
A76059So many Sabb ● ths, Sermons, Warnings lost, and never to be recalled; nor any Assurance left of one Sermon, or Warning more, and yet not afraid?
A76059Such a dreadful Roll writ against you, and yet not afraid?
A76059Suppose a Saint to fall into distraction, and so live and die, what good can possibly be wrought out of this?
A76059Sure there is not overmuch of Gospel Spirit, where this will not be granted?
A76059That the Prophets should be against Prophecying; That the Pulpits should ring against Preaching?
A76059That they do so, can not be denyed, unless we will deny, not only Scripture, but common Sense, and Experience; but how comes it to pass?
A76059The Fields of Tares are already black to the Harvest: But oh when shall it be said of you: Behold the Fields are white to the Harvest?
A76059The Salvation of God sent away, Acts 28. and can there be any thing worse befall a People?
A76059There''s no doubt at all, but this may make for the Churches good: Is there nothing that others may learn out of such a sad Providence?
A76059This is my great fear, that though God g ● ves, yet I shall break my peace; The God of peace with me?
A76059Though darkness can not bring forth light; evil can not bring forth good, by a natural causation; yet, Can not God make evil an occasion of good?
A76059Though it do not work efficiently, yet can it not work objectively neither to it?
A76059Though the torment the Medicine puts men to, be not ease yet, May it not work towards ease?
A76059Though thou be now putting on thy Armour, believe, and thou may''st boast as if thou hadst put it off: Death where is thy sting?
A76059Till the end be attained, there''s still need, that the means he continued: And what was the end of Preaching?
A76059To what did they bear Witness, but to God and his Gospel?
A76059Understandest thou what thou readest?
A76059View often, and take an account of thy self, of the in- come and success of all thy Duties: What is all my praying, reading, hearing,& c. come to?
A76059Waht Sins have I committed?
A76059Was I serious, and had I any sensible Communion with God, this day, in my Secret, and Family Duties?
A76059Was it men''s Instruction onely, to bring them to the knowledg of Christ, to turn them from Darkness to Light?
A76059Was it not for their Conversion also, to turn them from the power of Sathan unto God?
A76059Was the Red Sea a Terrour to Israel, when they saw themselves gotten to the other side?
A76059Was there not more of Custome and Fashion, than of Conscience and Affection, either in my Secret, or Family Duties?
A76059We should certainly obtain, did we more resolvedly pursue it: and what should hinder?
A76059What Patience, when I doubt, whether my afflictions be not the pension of a bastard, rather than the portion of a son?
A76059What Patience, when I question whether my sins be forgiven?
A76059What Peace so long as God is angry?
A76059What Temptations have I overcome this day?
A76059What Witness did they bear?
A76059What a clattering is there in the World?
A76059What can any rational man desire more?
A76059What canst thou not bear this honour thy God hath laid upon thee?
A76059What case was the Bush in?
A76059What have I done for God or my Soul this day?
A76059What have I done for God or my Soul this day?
A76059What have I not?
A76059What if they do?
A76059What if[ my] last, should be[ your] last?
A76059What is Patience, but this, that we can bear that pain, that Lust, when pinch''d, will put us to?
A76059What is brought forth?
A76059What is there at the bottom?
A76059What is there that''s excellent, what is there that''s desirable, that is not comprehended in this Peace with God?
A76059What is thy state?
A76059What likelyhood is there, that I should ever live to see a good day?
A76059What profit is there in our Blood?
A76059What shall I say more?
A76059What unreasonable fears are these, to those that believe the Scriptures?
A76059What victory have I yet gotten over it?
A76059What was it by which they bare Witness, but by their patient suffering?
A76059What would you not bear, so you might be sure you are the Lords?
A76059What would''st thou have more than all?
A76059What, and yet a sinner?
A76059Whatever God hath said he can do: Believe he is a God ▪ and thou wilt never say, How can these things be?
A76059When, or where are evill men silent?
A76059Whence is impatience, but from this, for the most part, that we can not bear any violence that''s offered to lust?
A76059Whence was Elie''s patience?
A76059Whence was Job''s patience?
A76059Where ever the cross comes, if it had not come, something worse might?
A76059Where is the Fury of the Oppressour?
A76059Wherefore then dost thou doubt?
A76059Wherfore didst thou doubt, oh thou of little Faith?
A76059Who can say it is not thus?
A76059Who was it that dwelt in the Bush?
A76059Who will bear my Cross?
A76059Why art th ● u cast down oh my Soul, and why art thou disquieted within me?
A76059Why may not a word at parting, do more than all that hath been spoken?
A76059Why, open the Eye of your Faith, and see the Coast already clear?
A76059Why, would you be delivered?
A76059Why?
A76059Will the Remembrance of what you[ have] suffer''d be a Terrour to you, when you have gotten through, and are come out of Tribulation?
A76059Will you break my Heart, by persisting to harden yours?
A76059Will you expect an Harvest, and yet must God let you lye Fallow, and still sow among Thorns?
A76059Will you lay the same imputation upon the God of Glory?
A76059Will you loose all the ground you have gotten, all the things you have wrought?
A76059With what Face canst thou deny, but thou art an Enemy of God, and of all Righteousness?
A76059Would there then be such violent and eager pursuing these carnal things?
A76059Would there then be such whining, and complaining, and murmuring at every cross providence?
A76059Yea, and their Edification and Building up in Holiness to Salvation?
A76059You''l say, it may be, for what profit?
A76059[ s.n., London printed: 1662?]
A76059after you have tasted the bitterness of the Cross, will you not go one step farther, and take the joys of the Cross?
A76059all thy bafflings of it here will be repeated over in eternity: How will all this look when it shall meet thee before thy Judge?
A76059and are not the Joints of thy Loins losed, to consider, what thou hast done, and art still a doing?
A76059and how strangely would the course of this world be then changed?
A76059and if I have been reproved, how have I born it?
A76059and shall an ill Neighbour be a vexation to thee?
A76059are you gotten off from the Tents of the Edomites, and gotten even to the Borders of Canaan, and will you not enter?
A76059at ease?
A76059can you pray thus, and yet repine and murmur that the Lord hears your Prayers?
A76059comest thou for good?
A76059comest thou peaceably?
A76059do not thy knees shake?
A76059does not thy hair stand on end?
A76059does not thy heart tremble?
A76059hast thou a God in thee, and yet no hope in thee?
A76059hath neither my Pride had a share, nor my Appetite more than its share?
A76059have I not lost one day more?
A76059have I not lost one day more?
A76059have I not neglected to exhort or reprove, when occasion hath been given?
A76059have my calls to Duty ever found me in a preparation to Duty?
A76059hid as to the Light of it, hid as to the saving power, and efficacy of it?
A76059his deceiving Souls, his perverting the good ways of the Lord, and discou ● aging persons from walking in them?
A76059in our Bonds, in our Poverty?
A76059in peace?
A76059in pleasure?
A76059in the Bond of Iniquity?
A76059in the House, in the Streets, in the Taverns, on the Stage, i ● the Stews?
A76059may once a moneth, or once a quarter, be enough for these, when every day, and all the day- long, doe ● scarce suffice for those?
A76059must I leave you thus?
A76059not one word more, not one hour more, may not the Sun go[ one] degree backward?
A76059or at least, Must we believe, that darkness is the Mother of light, that good is the daughter of evil?
A76059out of fear?
A76059out of such a concatena ● ● on of so many dreadful and dismal Providences?
A76059patient and peevish?
A76059patient and unmortified, earthly- minded, a self- seeker?
A76059shall Christ have his wish?
A76059shall all your sufferings for the name of Christ be lost, and in vain?
A76059shall your Servant for Jesus sake shall I have my wish?
A76059that the Lord foresaw he would have fallen into sin, and for prevention, brought him into this Affliction: Who can say, it is not thus?
A76059this is he whom I dishonour, and disoblige daily; by my distrusts, discontents, impatiencies, murmerings; and what peace to such an heart?
A76059though evil can not bring forth good, darkness can not bring forth light; yet, Can not God bring forth good out of evill, light out of darkness?
A76059under the Curse?
A76059what Duties have I omitted?
A76059what peace, so long as such unbelief; so much iniquity, as I find daily within me, remains upon me?
A76059what tumults, and commotions, are raised about the followers of Christ; as if the World were falling about their ears?
A76059when I am not sure, but my present sufferings are sent to carry me down to eternal sufferings?
A76059when wilt thou return?
A76059where is thy God man?
A76059whether God be reconciled, and be not dealing with me as an enemy?
A76059whither art thou going?
A76059who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A76059who would not be patient?
A76059why so poor, why so pained, why so persecuted, so scorned and trampled upon?
A76059why, Might I?
A76059why, may I not[ yet?]
A76059will you come and be Friends one with another?
A76059will you now at last consent to be sanctified, and to be saved?
A76059without Christ?
A76059without the Promise?
A76059would it comfort you, to know that God is your Father?
A76059would one step more land your Souls in the Kingdom of God, are you gotten so near a shore, and will you perish in the Harbour?
A76059yet, How fell it out at last?
A47928( For what is Government, but the Wisedom, Resolve, and Force of every Particular, gather''d into One Under standing, Will, and Body?)

A47928( with their Lives, and Estates, over and above, in the Act of Oblivion) And are they one jote the Quieter for all This?
A47928A Discountenancer of Godly Ministers?
A47928A Limited Toleration must Exclude Some, and why not You, as well as Another?
A47928A Promise- Breaker to the Church; and a Perverter of the Laws; Insomuch that No man could be assured of his Lands, and Life?
A47928And Finally, to Engage the Name of God, and the Credit of Religion in the Quarrel?
A47928And Inexpedient?
A47928And What Humane Authority can warrant any One to put in Practice, an Unlawful, Or Suspected Action?
A47928And Why may it not be Minded of Subjects, and spoken of, without any Hint, or Thought of ● … ebellion?
A47928And are not the Classical Presbyterians as much for a Lawful Liberty, as the Congregationals?
A47928And are not the Independents as much against these Fooleries as the Presbyterians?
A47928And do you believe that the Two Houses would have used the King any better, if he had gone to Them?
A47928And does not your Party love This King, as well as they did the Last?
A47928And his Majesty refusing to comply with them,( at the Iustance of the Spanish Merchants) Did they not proceed to Censure the Merchants?
A47928And how was all this effected?
A47928And in another place, Ergone( Inquies) nihil Ceremoniarum rudioribus dabitur, ad juvandam Eorum Imperitiam?
A47928And that they have ever been so?
A47928And the Business comes Immediately to This Issue; Whether the King, or the People, shall Determine, in what concerns the Good of the Community?
A47928And to be in This Bondage too unto the Meanest, and most Insolent of your Fellows?
A47928And upon Information, that He intended one, Was not a narrower Watch set over him?
A47928And what Form of Government was First; Regal, or Popular?
A47928And what am I the better for That Enquiry, if when I have Learn''d my Duty, I am debarr''d the Liberty to Practise it?
A47928And what amends is it, when the Government is laid again in Dust, and Desolation, to cry, You were Overseen?
A47928And what will the People say in the Matter, but either that the Government thinks them in the Right, or else that''t is affraid of them?
A47928And whence flows all this Mischief, and Confusion, but from a License of Wandring from the Rule?
A47928And where was your Spirit of Toleration, and Forbearance, I beseech you, in New- England?
A47928And who shall Determine what Laws and Constitutions are agreeable to God''s Word?
A47928And will it not be every Man''s business, to Advance the Credit, and Authority of his own Party?
A47928Another Exception may be This: How shall we distinguish betwixt Faction, and Conscience?
A47928Apprehensions of his Life, from Iesuits, Both Protestant, and Papist?
A47928Are They agreed upon any Model of Accommodation?
A47928Are They come to any Resolution upon Articles?
A47928Are You for the Presbyterians?
A47928Are not your Determinations as pere ● … ptory; and your Orders as Imperious?
A47928Are they General; or Particular?
A47928Are they all of a Mind?
A47928Are your Consciences FOR Toleration Now, that were so much AGAINST it Then?
A47928As how, I beseech ye?
A47928As not doing her Duty to the Subjects; and as a vehement Mainteiner of Superstition, and Idolatry?
A47928Because God spares the Offender, shall Man therefore tolerate the Offence?
A47928Beside; What Security can any Man give, that he shall continue in the Right Exercise of his Reason?
A47928Betwixt Points Fundamental and Non- Fundamental?
A47928Betwixt the very Basis of Christianity, and the Superstructure?
A47928But Suppose it Conscience; Are the Dissenters ever to be Reconciled?
A47928But after all This; What are these People, for Number, and Resolution, that make such a Clutter?
A47928But as to the matter of Conscience; Did you Well, or Ill in''t?
A47928But can you shew me, that an Uniformity of Service, and Rituals is any where forbidden?
A47928But can you tell me What was the Ground of the Quarrel?
A47928But does it therefore follow, that ALL things Lawful to be done, are comprehended in the Scripture?
A47928But the Q ● … estion is; First: Was the World ever without a Government, since the Creation of M ● … n?
A47928But to go with the Moderate: Would you have all Mens Consciences Gobern''d by the same Rule?
A47928But to the Business: What would you say, if his Majesty now in being, had Queen Elizabeth''s Game to Play?
A47928But what have I more to do, then to pass Sentence upon you, out of your own Mouths?

A47928But what is your Opinion of the Honesty of the Party?
A47928But what makes you couple the Crown, and the Mitre still?
A47928But what will become of That Exception, when I shall tell you, that those People are no more Independent, then the Presbyterians?
A47928But why not Kneeling, as well as either Sitting, or Standing?
A47928But why should a man expect to scape for WORDS, where THOUGHT it self is Censurable?
A47928But will you hear the Kirk speak for it self, after the putting of the King into English Hands?
A47928But would you have him Unaccomptable, or no?
A47928C. And What is it in the Subsciption( I beseech you) that you stumble at?
A47928C. And because This is possible, is the Odds therefore upon One against a Thousand?
A47928C. And is not That every Man''s Case, as well as yours?
A47928C. And were it not a greater Pitty, do ye think, for a State to keep no Check upon Crafty Knaves, for fear of disobliging some Well- meaning Fools?
A47928C. And what will This avail You, if it appears otherwise to the Governours Themselves?
A47928C. Are You In ● … endent then?
A47928C. Are they only NEEDLESS, INEXPEDIENT, and FIT to be Abolish''d then?
A47928C. But What if the Dissenters shall call that Sound Doctrine, which the Church defines Heresie?
A47928C. But is it not a strange thing( my Good Friend) for so many Men to be Mad at a Time; and to be Mad the Same Way too?
A47928C. But what will this amount to?
A47928C. Can you imagine that any Condition in the Delinquent can operate upon the Force and Equity of the Law?
A47928C. Can you shew me that Kneeling at the Lord''s Supper has been forbidden, where Kneeling at other parts of Publique Worship has been Allow''d?
A47928C. Do not you know, that Toleration is as good, as an Issue in a Government?
A47928C. FITLY, will be well indeed; But( with your Favour) what is the meaning of FITLY?
A47928C. How can you say This, and consider what you say, without blushing?
A47928C. How comes it now, that we, that accord so well in the End, should differ so much in the Way to''t?
A47928C. How do you mean?
A47928C. Is it Reason, think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and Hunt for Meat, when he is Hungry?
A47928C. Is it not rather your Misfortune, to write after the foulest Copies?
A47928C. Is it the Model, or the Uniformity you stick at?
A47928C. Keep to That, and Answer me once again; Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too?
A47928C. Of Which Side were the Tender Consciences?
A47928C. Or rather, Is not he madder that doubts it?
A47928C. Pray''e say: Was it ever better, since Non- Conformists came into the World?
A47928C. THe Non- Conformists are the Party that desire a Toleration; Pray let me ask ye, What are their Opinions?
A47928C. WHat are your Exceptions to Our Way of Worship?
A47928C. WHat has your Party Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule should be Granted in your Favour?
A47928C. WHat is it that you call Hard Measure, and Persecution?
A47928C. Was not Queen Elizabeth told of Thousands, and Hundreds of Thousands, that sighed for the Holy Discipline?
A47928C. What Do you think of the Anabaptists, Brownists, Quakers,& c?
A47928C. What Hinders then, but we may try it that way too?
A47928C. What do ye think then of your National Covenant?
A47928C. What do you mean by Fundamentals?
A47928C. What is all This now, but an Universal Toleration, in a Disguise?
A47928C. What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdoms, so much as the Contrary?
A47928C. Why may not the Church impose a Stinted Form upon the Minister, as well as the Minister,( if he so pleases) upon the People?
A47928C. Why should not We Two shake Hands now, and Join in the Act for Uniformity?
A47928C. Why will you Practise that Cruelty your selves then, which you condemn in others?
A47928C. Will Toleration suite All Iudgments, any better then Uniformity?
A47928C. Will it not then follow, that a Man may worship the Sun, or the Moon, and yet be true to God, if That Worship be according to his Conscience?
A47928C. Will ye see then what they did afterward, when they were at Liberty to do what they listed?
A47928C. Without Dispute, Some Opinions and Principles are more allowable then Others: But where lieth the Right of Allowing, or Rejrcting?
A47928C. Would you have a Law that shall Comply with all Consciences?
A47928C: So was the Son before the Father, you may say, for How could there be a Father without a Son?
A47928Can not the Church put an End to Strife among Brethren, as well as the Civil Magistrate?
A47928Can you say that the English, or Scottish Preshyters did ever go about to Dissolve Monarchy?
A47928Can you shew me that any Non- Conforming Roman Catholicks are Tolerated There?
A47928DOEST THOU Believe?
A47928David was pronounced a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murder and Adultery?
A47928Deposed, upon the Encouragement, and with the Approbation of Willock, Knox, and their Fellows?
A47928Did not the Kirk Excommunicate the whole Multitude for a Robin- Hood?
A47928Did they not by their Proper Authority Discharge the Munday- Market in Edinburgh?
A47928Do They know What They would be At?
A47928Do you not find our Meetings Thronged, and many of your Churches Empty?
A47928Do you pretend to know their Hearts then?
A47928Do you put no Difference betwixt Truth and Errour?
A47928Does it follow, because Religion may be made a Cloak for a Rebellion, That, therefore, It is never to be Pleaded for a Reformation?
A47928Does not our Saviour foretell us of False Christs, and False Prophets, that shall arise and deceive many; yea, if it were possible, the very Elect?
A47928Does not this hold as well for Us, as it did for You?
A47928Fifthly, What are they for Number, and Resolution?
A47928Finally, What have they to say for all This, But that This is One Man''s Judgment, That Another''s?
A47928First, What kind of People they are; Secondly, What It is They would have; Thirdly, What will the Kingdom be the better for Granting their Desires?
A47928For With what face can I destre a Courtesse from Him, to whom I do onenly prosess, 〈 ◊ 〉 would deny the same Courtesse?
A47928For the King; Or Against Him?
A47928For what are they the worse, for a Penalty, that is never Executed?
A47928For what is the Difference betwixt WEDDED, and MARRIED, but that the One wears the Stamp of the Law- Makers, and the Other, of the Law- Menders?
A47928Fourthly, What are their Grievances, as the Case stands with them at present?
A47928From That Prince, to whose Blessed Father( in the Depth of his Agonies) you cruelly deny''d the Use, and Service of his own Chaplains?
A47928From this miserable Perplexity of Mind, what can be expected, but Despair, and Confusion?
A47928Further; If it was to the Prejudice of our Cloathing Trade,( This Separation) Who can help it?
A47928Has not your General Assembly, rather the Face of a Council of State, then of a Counsel of the Church?
A47928Here''s Your Character: Now to Your D ● … mands, What is it You would have?
A47928How can it chuse but bring the Simple a Thousand Times to their Wit ● … End?
A47928How can you say This?
A47928How could That be; when the Two Houses, by Purging, and Modelling, were Subjected Absolutely to the Devotion of the Army?
A47928How far, I beseech you, are Humane Laws Binding?
A47928How many Plots have they had upon this Kingdom, since his Majesties Return?
A47928How many have they driven to leave the Ministry, and live by Physique?
A47928How shall Authority Distinguish of Which Number You your selves are; so long as You remain under this Concealment?
A47928How shall I behave my self, I pray''e, if the King command one thing, and God another?
A47928How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry?
A47928How shall we agree upon the Dos?
A47928How was it with Trade, when Conscience took the full Swinge?
A47928How was the Covenant entertein''d?
A47928How was the Protestant Interest( I beseech you) United in the late Dissolution of Government; When Every Man did that which was Right in his own Eyes?
A47928How went Trading on, when all Business was neglected, but Gallopping up and down to Lectures, to hear News, and Sedition?
A47928How will you divide your Duty?
A47928How will you reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case?
A47928However, what''s your Quarrel to it?
A47928If He be, How comes your Conscience to take place of his Authority?
A47928If He chance to be Slain,''T is but an Accident; and who can help it?
A47928If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the fairest Probability content you?
A47928If They were Tolerated Themselves, Would They Tolerate One Another?
A47928If he will needs thrust Himself upon the Hazard, when he needs not, Whose Fault is That?
A47928If so, tell me I beseech you, Why may not We take the same Freedom with the Non- Conformists, that You do with the Papists?
A47928In fine, Betwixt such Principles as affect Order and Publique Agreement, and others that flow Naturally into Loosness and Confusion?
A47928In the first Place; What is the Judgment of the Reformed Churches abroad, touching the English Episcopacy?
A47928Is it not now evident, that they are the worse for good usage?
A47928Is it not well then, to be sure of the One, and in so fair a Likelihood of the Other?
A47928Is it th ● … Imposition it self, or the Thing Imposed, that displeases you?
A47928Is not This at one Blow to destroy the Order of all Relations, Political, Natural, and Moral?
A47928Is not This, Streining at a Gnat, and swallowing a Camel?
A47928Is not this a Dethroning of Majesty, to set Princes, and Peasants upon the same Level in point of Subjection to their Resolutions and Decrees?
A47928Knewstubb indeed boggled a little, and desired to know, How far an Ordinance of the Church was Binding, without Offence to CHRISTIAN LIBERTY?
A47928Let me but understand now, Upon what Subject shall that Power be Exercis''d; If you exclude Things Indifferent?
A47928N C. Where should we look for the Foundation of our Faith, but in the New- Testament of Jesus Christ?
A47928N. C, And what are you the better, If I should grant it; unless we could All come to an Agreement, about what is Indifferent, and what not?
A47928N. C. According to what Latitude are we to understand that which you call the Foundation of FAITH?
A47928N. C. And I beseech you, What is That, which you call AUTHORITY?
A47928N. C. And do not you your self believe it better to Obey God, then Man?
A47928N. C. And does not This way of Arguing as much endanger Authority, as the Other?
A47928N. C. And have they, I beseech you, their Set Forms?
A47928N. C. And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism?
A47928N. C. And what do you think of the Secluded Members?
A47928N. C. And why not Scandal, and Profaneness too?
A47928N. C. Are Heresies to be Extirpated, and Truth to be Propagated by the Sword, or by the Word?
A47928N. C. Are you for Punishing Inconformity with Death then?
A47928N. C. But I should rather think the Popular Form was First: For how could there be a King, without a People?
A47928N. C. But are not Some Opinions more tolerable then Others?
A47928N. C. But do you believe any Man so mad, as to take these Extravagances for Impulses of Conscience?
A47928N. C. But do you say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince?
A47928N. C. But does not One Man see that sometimes, which a Thousand may miss?
A47928N. C. But is it not More, To Tolerate a Forreign R ● … ligion, then to Indulge your own?
A47928N. C. But may not a Prince tye himself up, in a thing otherwise Indifferent?
A47928N. C. But what Colour will there be for any further Exception?
A47928N. C. But what is That Power all this while, which you call NATURE?
A47928N. C. But what''s the World to Me, in the Scale against my Soul?
A47928N. C. But when the Death is certain, and the Virtue doubtful, Who shall decide the Point?
A47928N. C. But where''s the Danger of Receding from that Inexorable Strictness?
A47928N. C. But who shall be Iudge of what''s Indifferent?
A47928N. C. But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be ascribed only to Instinct, in Brutes, and to Reason, in Man?
A47928N. C. But would you have that Probability govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions?
A47928N. C. Can there be any Sin without Assent; or any Assent without Knowledge; or any Knowledge in a Case of Invincible Ignorance?
A47928N. C. Did not the Presbyterians Uote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a ● … reaty?
A47928N. C. Does not that Opinion destroy Christian Liberty?
A47928N. C. Have you so soon forgot your self?
A47928N. C. How do you know, but you may persecute God, in the Conscience of a True Believer, as St. Paul did, before his Conversion?
A47928N. C. How far are his Laws Binding upon his Subjects?
A47928N. C. If the Magistrate has any Power over the Consciences of his People, How came he by it?
A47928N. C. Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge?
A47928N. C. May not We charge Personal Extravagancies upon your Party, as well as You do upon Ours?
A47928N. C. May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not to Another?
A47928N. C. No Man can call Iesus the Christ, but by the Holy Ghost: Will you punish any Man for not having the Holy Ghost?
A47928N. C. Pray''e let me ask You One Question now: Who brought in this King?
A47928N. C. Tell me, I beseech you; Do not you believe that there are more N ● … n- Conformists now, then there were at the beginning of the Late War?
A47928N. C. The Non- Conformists are the King''s Subjects; and What''s a King without his People?
A47928N. C. WHy may not a Toleration do as well here, as in France?
A47928N. C. What End could they have in That?
A47928N. C. What are those Indisputable Rights, I beseech ye?
A47928N. C. What can be of greater Concernment to Governours; then to Discern, and Consider the State of their People, as it is indeed?
A47928N. C. What do ye think of Poland then?
A47928N. C. What greater Encouragement is there in the World, to Tyranny, then the Opinion of an Unaccomptable Sovereignty?
A47928N. C. What if a Single Person hit that Truth, which a General Council misses?
A47928N. C. What if it be?
A47928N. C. What is David''s Case to ours?
A47928N. C. What is all This to the Non- Conformists?
A47928N. C. What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate?
A47928N. C. What not in Case of Errour?
A47928N. C. Whence was the Original of Power?
A47928N. C. Who sold Him?
A47928Nay; Or that those of the Religion do Subdivide, or break Communion among Themselves?
A47928Needless?
A47928Next; as to the Degree, and Measure of your Importance; How Many Regiments of the One, and How many Millions of the Other, makes up that Importance?
A47928Or Why should a Standing Army do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Or if so, Why may not the Church be in the Right against the People, as well as any Particular of the People, against the Church, and the Rest?
A47928Or indeed, Why should not All be Tolerated, as well as Any?
A47928Or is it in the Wit of Man, to Contrive a Common Expedient to Oblige them?
A47928Or rather, Was there any thing of Conscience in the Case?
A47928Or that we owe them Less, AFTER Misgovernment, then we did Before?
A47928Or to leave their Countrey?
A47928Or will Liberty any better suit with the Presbyterians?
A47928Or will you call it Choice, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone?
A47928Or will you have it, that our Duty to God ceases in the Act of becoming Subjects to a Civil Power?
A47928Or, That Liberty Consciencious, which the Governour esteems Unlawful?
A47928Presb, Was it not rather the Work of the Independents?
A47928Prohibit the Scots Trading with any of the King of Spains Dominions, under Pein of Excommunication?
A47928Reflect soberly upon what has been said; and Tell me, Do you think such a Toleration either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant?
A47928Ruine of Liberty, or Estate?
A47928Secondly; Whether was there first in the World, One Man, or More?
A47928Shall his Majesty give up his Government, for fear of some Millions( perchance) in his Dominions, that had rather be Kings, then Subjects?
A47928Shall the King therefore dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals?
A47928Shall the People be left to do what they list, because a World of them have a Mind to do what they should not?
A47928Shall the Vice, or Errour of the Person, degrade the Order?
A47928Shall they not have their Meetings, and Consultations, without Controul?
A47928Shall we Wrangle Eternally?
A47928Shall we be the Quieter for it?
A47928Shall we not have Nem, and Monstrous Opinions Propagated daily?
A47928Shall we stand to his Award whatever it be?
A47928Some Particulars will possibly suffer for want of a Toleration: and who are They; but the Profest Opposers of the Law?
A47928That is to say,( without more Circumstance) Which do you take for the more Tolerable Mischief of the Two?
A47928That is to say; Whether the Government shall Stand, or Fall?
A47928The Independents made sweet work in Holland, did they not?
A47928The Non- Conformists refuse Communion with the Church: What is it They boggle at?
A47928The Question in England is, Whether Christ, or Anti- Christ, shall be Lord, or King?
A47928The Question is; Whether He shall Over- rule your Opinions, or You Over- rule His Authority?
A47928The Unity of the Church, in this Multiplicity of Professions?
A47928The WHOLE PARTY in England, do you say?
A47928The whole Generation of the Non- Conformists United against his Person, and Government, as well in Iudgment, as in Faction?
A47928Their Declarations, and Subscriptions?
A47928Their Peremptory Impositions?
A47928They that are within the Comprehension, will be well enough: But what will become of them that are left out?
A47928This was the Year before the King''s Death, it seems: Whas not That within the Retrospect of the Act of Indemnity?
A47928To Know, Believe, or Profess are not in our Power: And shall a Man be punish''t for want of Grace, or Understanding?
A47928To permit Freedom of Worship to those you repute Hereticks, then to Relate a little towards your Orthodox Friends?
A47928Very good: And if the Kirk shall think fit to find them so or so; Pray''e What Remedy?
A47928Was That an Act of Authority?
A47928Was he not Spied, and Guarded, for fear of an Escape?
A47928Was it any better even under the Celebrated Government of Queen Elizabeth?
A47928Was it not made Death without Mercy, for any Man, having taken the Solemn League and Covenant, to adhere to his Majesty?
A47928Was it not the Test of the King''s Enemies, as well as of the Bishops?
A47928Was not King Iames, a Favourer of the Enemies of God''s Truth, and of Dissolute Persons?
A47928We have Laws Ecclesi ● … l, for the Ordering of the Church; and you refuse to Obey them ▪ For what Reason, I beseech you?
A47928Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands?
A47928Well; and what hurt''s in all this?
A47928Were not These, Presbyterians?
A47928Were not his Majesties Friends kept from him, by a strict Order, at Newcastle?
A47928Were not the Army, and Ass ● … mbly, Presbyterian; And all their Votes, Actions, and Conclusions Influenc''d accordingly?
A47928Were not the Principals of the Faction in the Long Parliament, every Man of them Presbyterian?
A47928Were not they the most likely of all others to disappoint our Settlement?
A47928Were the Anabaptists, Familists, and Brownists, that started up in Those Days, Presbyterians?
A47928What Course shall I take, to avoid Enterfering?
A47928What Exceptions have you to our COMMON PRAYER?
A47928What Swarms of Anabaptists, Brownists, Familists, Antinomians, Anti- Scripturists, Anti- Trinitarians, Enthusiasts( and what Not?)
A47928What are the Furies of the Anabaptists to us, that have Declared against them, as well as You?
A47928What are their Names?
A47928What can be more Ridiculous than to Authorize a Cobler to Correct Majesty, Mechanicks to Determine in Points of Faith?
A47928What can be the End of this Rhodomontade; but to startle the Government, on the One Side, and to animate the Multitude, on the Other?
A47928What do you find in the Independent Way, that may endanger his Majesty, either in his Person, or in his Prerogative?
A47928What does all this Evasion, and Obscurity signifie; but that there is somewhat in the bottom, more then you are willing to own?
A47928What follows upon it?
A47928What have you next to say against our Ceremonies?
A47928What have you to say now for a Toleration upon Reason of State?
A47928What if it yields?
A47928What if the Subject shall account That Imposition grievous, which the Magistrate thinks N ● … cessary?
A47928What is Conscience?
A47928What is This, but a meer Trifling of Government; to suppose a Law, without an Obligation?
A47928What is This, but to make Sport with Authority, and Conscience?
A47928What possibility is there of attaining such an Agreement, among so many Insuperable Diversities of Judgment, as reign in Mankind?
A47928What says the Artificer, the Tradesman, the Farmer?
A47928What sort of Ruine do you mean?
A47928What was it again that originally disposed this Monster to that cursed Act?
A47928What''s the Quarrel to them upon the matter now before us?
A47928What''s to be done in This Case?
A47928When Prentices robb''d their Masters, and took Sanctuary in the Service?
A47928When Publique Faith was a Tradesmans best Security; and the whole Nation held Life, and Estate, at the good Pleasure of a Close Committee?
A47928Where do ye find that Kings Reign, upon Condition of Ruling Righteously?
A47928Where is it, that you find This Exorbitant Power that you talk of?
A47928Where is the Bond of Peace, in this Exercise, and Latitude of Dissention?
A47928Where lies the Difference; I beseech you, between Their Impulse, and Our Choice?
A47928Where you shall not Speak, Look, Move, Eat, Drink, Dress your self; Nay, not so much as entertein a Thought, but at your Peril?
A47928Wherefore do ye lift your selves above the Congregation of the Lord?
A47928Wherefore then lift ye your selves above the Congregation of the Lord?
A47928Whether may be better Tolerated in This Kingdom, The Presbyterians, or the Independents; in Respect of their PRINCIPLES, and Ordinary PROCEEDINGS?
A47928Whether will you rather have; One Fallible Iudge, or a Million of Damnable Heresies?
A47928Which is the True Religion, among so many divided, and contradictory Pretenses to it?
A47928Which of the Two, do you account the more Tolerable; SCANDAL, or Schism?
A47928Which will you have him follow; Truth, or Authority?
A47928Who shall distinguish?
A47928Who shall over- rule?
A47928Who shall pretend to Iudge of my Conscience, beside God, and my Self?
A47928Why should We be put upon Extremities of Hard Labour, Course Fare, Rising early, and Going to Bed late?
A47928Why should We be the Drudges of the Kingdom?
A47928Why should a Commonwealth do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Why should a Toleration do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Why should not every Man be Govern''d by his own Conscience, as well in Consort, as in Solitude, as well in Company, as by Himself?
A47928Will Presbytery ever satisfie, the Independents Conscience?
A47928Will not every Man conclude, that the English are the Wretched''st Slaves upon the Face of the Earth?
A47928Will not the Tolerated Party become a Sanctuary for all the Turbulent Spirits in the Nation?
A47928Will you allow of no Ceremonies then at all,( you''l say) for the Instruction of the Vulgar?
A47928With what face then, can you ask a Toleration from That Government, which of all Others, your selves refused to Tolerate?
A47928Would you have his Majesty of Great- Britain, Tolerate Roman- Catholicks here, as his Most Christian Majesty does Protestants in France?
A47928Would you have me open my Door to a Troop of Thieves, because there are four or five Honest Men in the Company?
A47928Would you not take Time for an Answer?
A47928[ And what follow''d?]
A47928[ Esaminato con le solite Forme, confesso liberamente,& c.] What was it that Animated Ravillac to his Hellish Practise upon that Brave Prince?
A47928[ How many Good Mens Deaths have the Bishops been the Cause of?
A47928[ Quid aliud hic statuitur, quam quod in omnibus locis, Ecclesiis restitutum cupimus?
A47928and Waat upon the Magistrate?
A47928and that there were Thousands in the Army, that had no Unkindness for his Majesty?
A47928and what not?
A47928appear Non- Indifferent to some or other; if nothing may be Commanded, but what upon such a Phansie may be Disobey''d?
A47928as much as all This amounts to?
A47928did they not also appoint to meet in Armes, at the Tryal of them?
A47928have started up even in our days, under the Protection of Liberty of Conscience?
A47928into DO YOU Believe?
A47928or who would have dream''d of any harm in a League for the Preservation and Defence of the King''s Majestie''s Person and Authority?
A47928— What do you think now of UNCOMELY GESTURES?
A504912. when he communicated the Gospel privately, to them that were of Reputation( and why?
A504919. then follows, Are there yet the treasures of wickednesse in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure which is abominable?
A50491A man for the punishment of his sins?
A50491Against whom you have exalted your voice, and lift up your eyes on high?
A50491Ah besotted Wretches ▪ Let me bespeak you in the language of the Prophet, Do you know against whom you shoot out the lip, and make a wide mouth?
A50491All danger over?
A50491All fled?
A50491And alas, how small a Remnant is there that have escaped the common Pollutions?
A50491And all this while, how many Devils whom thou seest not, stand some gaping to receive thee, and some labouring to make thee sure, and till thee on?
A50491And amongst so many that say they love God, how few have manifested it by their love to their Brother?
A50491And are these wickednesses provoking in the People, and not in their Teachers, who can never be guilty alone?
A50491And awaken Powers to greater jealousies, and cause them to abridge you of the liberty yet reserved?
A50491And can they find fault, if at length, their desires are granted?
A50491And do they do any less, who hinder those that would run to help and save them?
A50491And hath he not done thus?
A50491And hath the matter been mended, since we have been under this sore Visitation?
A50491And have we not had multitude, such walking in our streets?
A50491And have you done lesse against God one day after another, by pouring down your superfluous Glasses?
A50491And how manie Lyes told?
A50491And how many Murders have we daily heard of, committed amongst us?
A50491And if indeed they can not drive a trade without so great miscarriages, Is it not time that their Houses and Shops should be shut up?
A50491And if men neglect their duty, can it be expected but that God should take the Sword of Justice into his own hands, and punish the Rebellious?
A50491And if this be the way for an Union in the Catholick Church, why not in the particular Churches that are parts of it?
A50491And in the New Testament especially, how frequent are the prohibitions, and how severe the threatnings denounc''d against it?
A50491And is it not as great a sin, for the heart to run a whoring after these things, as to bow the body to an Idol?
A50491And make as light of his Threatnings and Promises, and laugh at the talk of death and judgment, as they were wo nt to do?
A50491And need you care, how the old clothes are rent and torn, so long as you shall never wear, nor need them more?
A50491And shall they be less regarded than such?
A50491And shall they that ought to cure, keep up and encrease them?
A50491And shall those, who have no other aims than these, be kept out of the Ministry, as turbulent, factious, and schismatical?
A50491And that you can easily shift it off, if they be required at your hands ▪ Did Christ die for souls,& shall they escape who murder them?
A50491And they that are under sicknesse, and strook with the visible hand of God, how do their hearts sink within them like a stone?
A50491And they who could not endure these terrible Preachers, let them now speak, whether the Threatning, or the Execution, be the more terrible?
A50491And what now?
A50491And what strange apparel for both men and women have the Devil, Pride, and Fraunce help''t us to?
A50491And what''s the ground of all?
A50491And what''s this for, but to couch others eyes to be fixt on them?
A50491And why?
A50491And will the Man of Violence swell his Fingers into Loyns, and exchange his Rods for Scorpions?
A50491And wilt thou now be guilty of a madness as much greater than this, as sin and Hell, are worse than the Plague and Death?
A50491And yet how readily accepted by many?
A50491And yet what would we have?
A50491Any service for which you shall need them?
A50491Are Salvation and Damnation Indifferent things?
A50491Are Traytors and Incendiaries, the fittest men to reclaim others from their Rebellion?
A50491Are not these the true Sons of Valour?
A50491Are not these, think you, sweet Preachers of the Gospel?
A50491Are there not many openly guilty of that Drunkenness, Wantonness, Swearing, and such like Loosness, which they are appointed to turn others from?
A50491Are they not too like that King Ahaz, who being afflicted, grew worse and worse?
A50491Are they resolved not to be behind hand in sin for all that?
A50491Are you afraid to Dye, and yet are not afraid to be Damn''d?
A50491Art thou yet resolved to prepare for Death, and prevent Damnation, or not?
A50491Art thou yet willing to be reconciled to God?
A50491As if when they had beg''d of God, to teach them to keep( amongst the rest) the Fourth Commandment, they might then take Liberty to break it?
A50491But a kind of Story, that no way concerns thee?
A50491But alas, amongst the many that professe the Faith, how few are there who will take a Promise from God as good security?
A50491But art thou willing to perform it?

A50491Notwithstanding this day of Adversity, how few will be brought to Consider?
A50491Now Sirs, what''s your God, your Saviour worth?
A50491Now he that should thus come to God; what is it for?

A50491Oh Sirs, what is it you seek?
A50491Oh for the Lords sake then all you his Servants up and be doing, and fear not: For God will be with you, what are you afraid of enemies?
A50491Oh how exceeding few are there that are willing rightly to inform themselves of the nature, use and end of this day, and accordingly to improve it?

A50491Or do they think to revenge themselves of God for the afflictions they have lain under?
A50491Or may we not joyn, and unite our strength, and all set to a shoulder, for the carrying on of the work of the Lord?
A50491Or on the other hand, Art thou not in a rage, that thy sin hath been too plainlie displayed, and too much disgrac''t?
A50491Or that your Submissions to the Devil had made him so much your Friend, that he would not hurt you?
A50491Or to men, as you will answer it at the great and dreadful day of accounts?
A50491Or whether thou wilt go in sin, and be damned?
A50491Or will they yet strive to aggravate the bitterness of mens spirits, and pursue their design of crushing them into the very dirt?
A50491Or wilt thou therefore do nothing, because thou canst not expect a successe answerable to thy desires?
A50491Or with your Swords and Pistols, as you were wo nt to serve the Serjeants that came to Arrest you?
A50491Or, Who will stand up for me against the workers of Iniquity?
A50491Poor man, thou criest out of poverty, losse of Relations, sicknesse and pain, but didst thou not know it?
A50491Reader, Art thou an Honourer of Christ, and a Lover of Mankind?
A50491Say not now, this is a difficult work, but tell me whether it be not needful?
A50491Seem we not rather a Cage of unclean Birds?
A50491Shal not God proclaim war against that people that have thus violated the Law of Nations?
A50491Shall Blasphemy, and Swearing, and Cursing, be as loud as ever?
A50491Shall God still be mock''t with Formalities, and dishonoured by mens Lives?
A50491Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
A50491Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord?
A50491Shall Profaneness abound, and Religion be despised again?
A50491Shall Taverns, and Brothel- houses, and Play- houses be frequented, and Gods Worship slighted, and neglected again?
A50491Shall the Execution of his Judgments bring light?
A50491Shall the tongue that was just now Cursing and Swearing, come presentlie and fall a praying, and think to be accepted?
A50491Shall we be bettered by them or not?
A50491Shall we cause God to complain of us, that he would have healed us, but we would not be healed?
A50491Shall we yet be rent and torn with animosities and divisions?
A50491So soon as ever the Rod''s from off us, shall we to our old courses again?
A50491So they can but now get a Pound or a Shilling, how little do they regard the time of reckoning for all again?
A50491Such that even in cold blood, and upon sober deliberation dare damn themselves?
A50491Swell, and break, and stink flesh if thou wilt, I shall not be troubled with thee long?
A50491Tell me man, Is it not a wonderful mercy to be awakened on this side Hell, let the means be what they will?
A50491Tell me then, thou who art now so bold and resolute, so sottish and careless, Dost thou not think thou shalt dye?
A50491That after a Civil Peace hath been graciously restored, the Church should still be so much divided?
A50491That in those very streets where men have staggered and fallen down dead- drunk, they should there fall down stark- dead?
A50491That in vain hath he smitten us, for that we would not receive Correction?
A50491That should rather be turned out of the Church, than admitted into the Pulpit?
A50491That we were not yet at home, and must not therefore think of setling here?
A50491The question is, Whether thou wilt do thy utmost to change thy heart and life, that thou may''st be saved?
A50491Think what you live for, and where you expect to stand shortly, and tell me whether a life thus laid out for God, will not then be your comfort?
A50491This in Italy had been no such monstrous thing, but can it be accounted lesse in England?
A50491Thou who wast wilfully deaf to the still voice, Is it not of thy self that a Message is delivered to thee in such terrible thundrings?
A50491Thy darling sin which thou art resolved to keep, though thou have Hell with it?
A50491To be a diligent Server of the most holy God, is made a matter of reproach?
A50491To live up in the Principles of that Religion, we all pretend to, is to expose ones self at the least, to scoffs and jears?

A50491Were you afraid lest you should have miss''t of Hell?
A50491What Cowards, do you turn your backs now?
A50491What can any man in reason desire more?
A50491What care I for thy Sores and Pains, so long as my Souls in health: Go make hast, and get thee to thy Grave, and there turn to Rottenness and Filth?

A50491What shall I do?
A50491What shall be now the issue of Gods Judgments that have been upon us?
A50491What shall our Nation still be drowned in sin?

A50491What tell ye them of Rivers of pleasures at Gods right hand?
A50491What then, was it a desire to save the Souls of your people?
A50491What though the same Disease, and Death seize thee, as doth them?
A50491What very trifles, meer flea- bitings wilt thou then judge Famines, Plagues, and heaviest Judgments that can light upon men whilst in the body?

A25212And are not all publick Persons bound by the Law of God to walk charitably?

A25212And now let the Enquirer cast up his Accounts, and see what he has gained Declaro, by all these great examples?
A25212And on startled at the Alarm, asks, Where?
A25212And that they may more exactly symbolize therewith, have they provided for their Priests an Altar?
A25212And then let the Question be new Modelled: whether God lay any stress upon sin?
A25212And then who fitter then our Governours?
A25212And what his opinion is touching the sin of the Protoplast, by which we are all guilty?
A25212And what should be the matter?
A25212And when all is done, it''s a question whether the Ceremonies are so grateful to the greater and more considerable part?
A25212And wherein does it oppose the Church, and contribute to a separation from it?
A25212And whether he be a Minister at all who is not able in some measure to discharge both to Edification?
A25212And who before his monstrous Schollar Coelestius, ever denied that all Mankind stood guilty of Adams Apostacy from God?
A25212And who shall venture to make that the matter of an Ecclesiastical Canon, which the Apostle durst not venture to practise?
A25212And will he not deserve to be shut out for ever that shall refuse so free an invita ● … ion?

A25212But may we humbly enquire of the Enquirer, whether he have this Peace to sell?
A25212But still, Quid hoc ad Iphicli Boves?
A25212But the last is the most important Question: How, or wherein does Atheism under 〈 ◊ 〉 the Church?

A25212Did Davids heart smite him when he cut of Sauls garment?
A25212Did we not carefully observe what things he wrote whilst a Presbyter, and what when made a Bishop?
A25212Do you not Observe( says Austin) what that Ancient Man of God thinks of that old Blow given us by the Devil?
A25212Does he mean for the better, or the worse?
A25212Does she Storm and Rage because we have retained two or three of her fine Ceremonies?
A25212Et Dives; Quis enim potest negare?

A25212I do not understand that the brazen Serpent was a Symbolical Ceremony, what grace, what duty did it signify?
A25212I expect to hear others ask; why they should be more obliged to the Humility, Self- denial, Sobriety recommended in the Gospel, than their Teachers?

A25212I wonder who could find in his heart to be offended at such civility?
A25212I wonder who ever spoke one word against it?
A25212I would ask the Enquirer whether the Dissenters ever pleaded to be gracified in so weighty a point as the Coessentiality of the Holy Spirit?
A25212I would seriously enquire of this serious Enquirer, whether God did really allow them the liberty of self preservation, and Defence upon that day?
A25212If Christs yoke be accounted Heavy, how should we have sunck under the Mosaical Paedagogy?

A25212Is the Peace of the Church ● … rown so cheap and vile that it should be sold for things unnecessary?
A25212Is this the Iudgement of Discretion, to surrender our Consciences upon Discretion?
A25212It had been a more Important Enquiry, than any he has yet made, whence such an exulcerated Spirit should proceed?
A25212It s material too, who are to be instructed?
A25212It would be enquired, If Rome be such an Enemy, what should be that which provokes her wrath and indignation?
A25212It''s a happy observation, and deserves a Hecatombe for its invention, that will silence all dispute in this matter: but what is it?
A25212It''s very considerable who are to be the Instructors, and called into the Consultation?
A25212Let every soul be subject to the higher Powers: upon which words Holy Bernard thus: si omnis anima; ergo& vestra: Quis vos excepit ab universalitate?
A25212Let me advise him to beware of Excessive wonderment: they say, it will make a man as lean as a rake: but what''s the Cause of his admiration?
A25212Let me have a solid Reason given, why the Peace of the Church should be laid upon those things which Salvation depends not upon?
A25212Little or none?

A25212Must we take our Constitutions in pieces?
A25212My Father if the Prophet had Commanded thee some great thing, would''st thou not have done it?
A25212New Revelations as well as New Injunctions?
A25212No where excepts it?

A25212Now the Great Question here will be, who ought to make this determination?
A25212Of a Tender Conscience; what it is?
A25212Oh what a lucky hint had here been for one that was so 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to be ingenious?

A25212Or must a Nation be at all this vast charge to maintain Humane Creatures?
A25212Or must we tarry till we come to Heaven, where we shall be of one mind?
A25212Or why not a Church- Government founded on the Scripture, as well as the Doctrine?

A25212Whence comes it( say the Romanists) that so few quit the Roman Religion?
A25212Whence it comes?
A25212Where shall we lodge the determination ultimately, what God has defined and not defined?
A25212Where?
A25212Wherein Christian Liberty consists?
A25212Whether Hezekiah Commanded the Levites to kill the Passeover against the Rule of the Institution?

A51082And must not faith its alone proper application render us accepted to the Beloved?
A51082And on the other hand, ought you not to indulge such, who only desire to re ● uge their Conscience, in the Sanctuary of an allowed forbearance?
A51082And pray Sir, who of us did ever defend such a practice?
A51082And seing that both members are groundless, what can your question import?
A51082And should not you be ashamed, to obtrude to us Caesar''s groundless and calumnious assertion, against both the Princes their declaration and reasons?
A51082And the Father of lights from whom cometh every good Gift?
A51082And thereto the Duke subjoines, that this promise of assistance was his principal ingagement to arme: What think you then?
A51082And what can the connexion import?
A51082And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
A51082And what have they produced?
A51082And what then?
A51082And what then?
A51082And what then?
A51082And whence did the Iews their stumbling at the Gospel proceed?
A51082And wherefore not?
A51082And who either doubteth this in your sense, or refuseth it in a just sense?
A51082And who enricheth us by Iesus Christ in all utterance and in all knowledge?
A51082And who is he who doth not wish for a just measure of the like favour and assistance?
A51082And why do ye without ground accuse us of a preference, whereof we are not guilty?
A51082And why not; seing their rising ● specially that of Muncer, against which they took armes, was plainly seditious and rebellious?
A51082And why not?
A51082And will you still arrogantly pretend to be a Master of Ceremonies, in the Court of Heaven?
A51082And would you have it blind, and not rational, and conscientious?
A51082And, I pray Sir, what would you have him to say more?
A51082Are not all the acts of Discipline and Government, properly thereto referable, of the same Nature?
A51082Are not these then antient and undeniable precedents?
A51082Are these wayes equal?
A51082Are you not then ashamed, to talk of it, as a late device?
A51082As for Diodat, and the rest you name, why do you not e ● hibite their words?
A51082As for the love that you desire; should we love them that hate the Lord: you know whose profession it was, do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?
A51082As for your Demand, why in your Worship do you not Kiss one another with a holy Kiss?
A51082As for your appeal to Conscience, Whether fighting or suffering be the likelier way to advance Religion?
A51082Be the minister what he will: What?
A51082But Sir, are ye in good earnest?
A51082But being resolved to carp, you say, why may not we have a Directory forwords, as well as things?
A51082But if I may use a little freedome, why do you please your self so much in vain talk?
A51082But if you say it may not; then, whether is it your meaning, that it may not at all be defended either against Superior, equall, or inferior?
A51082But may we breake these sacred tyes, and abandone our selves to an implicite compliance, with every humane invention?
A51082But what a pitiful allegeance is this, that Charles the fift forsooth declared it was not for Religion he fought?
A51082But what maketh this for you?
A51082But where is your reason for this insinuat distinction?
A51082But wherefore should I insist in a matter so evident, and, at least as to the difference betwixt us, universally acknowledged?
A51082But who can sufficiently declare and regret the madnes and ingratitude of this pride of man?
A51082But why should I spend time on your triflings?
A51082But you add a Question, In a word, what jealousies had you justly raised in the hearts of Princes, of your Government?
A51082But you again return to the Doxologie, and asks, Why it may not be used in the end of singing, as well as it is used by us in the end of praying?
A51082But you proceed to surprize your N. C. with a how want you Deacons?
A51082But you say, they were fomented by some seditious Preachers, who pretended, the liberty of the Gospel for their chief quarrel?
A51082But, seing you would appeare so accurate an observer of Providence, why do ye not also remember, how easily and safely the invader did escape?
A51082But, since you suppose it to have been real, how is it that by your return, you do so pitifully betray your cause?
A51082Certainly it can not be denied: Now seeing our Sessions did only medle with Sinnes, under the second formality, what doth your challenge amount to?
A51082Could you not advert, that the Spirits prescriving, and mens, are different, and that he prescriveth to himself, without any restraint?
A51082Did you beleeve that you spoke truth when you represented us as such?
A51082Do not recurre and say it was certainly lawfull in many cases, but not against the Prince?
A51082Do not these words plainly enough denote both Religion to have been the cause, and what was the Kings approbation of these wars?
A51082Do we not know how rare a things it is, in a time of danger, for all concerned to unite even in the most uncontroverted duties?
A51082Fye upon you M. Conformist, where is ingenuitie?
A51082Good Sir, where is now your veneration for Antiquity and the holy fathers?
A51082Having thus, Sir, vindicat, both the Truth and our rational Faculties, with how much advantage, might I retort your reproach of Childish weakeness?
A51082He that is chief, let him be as he that Serveth not as a Nobleman: How then can ye acclaime either thing or title?
A51082He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword; here is the Faith and Patience of the Saints?
A51082How do the most common maximes of reason militat against you?
A51082How do you then vex them with hard Laws, and grievous pains, more then you do heynous Malefactors: Who art thou that judgest another mans servant?
A51082How foolish then is that stricture of your vanity, which you here subjoin?
A51082How is it, that we attain to this state?
A51082How long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing?
A51082How then do you taxe your N. C. for this allegeance, as a superficial Reader of History?
A51082How we come to sing Psalms- prayers?
A51082I am confident you would not: wherefore then do you urge us with his dreams?
A51082I may not here insist on this subject: But, once for all, let me demand you, may not Religion be defended aswell as other rights and interests?
A51082I will not say with Iehu, what have you to do with peace?
A51082If infallibilitie be required in our extemporarie methods, wherefore not also in your Set- forms?
A51082If this be good arguing, may not the prophane multitude have the same plea against all who abstain from fleshly lusts that war against the Soul?
A51082Is a demand which one day will concerne Kings and Rulers, more then any of their Subjects: Why do they then judge?
A51082Is it because we own no Office- bearers in the house of God, save such as are of his own appointment?
A51082Is it not that we who were under the Curse and aliens, are accepted unto favour, pardoned, and brought near?
A51082Is not this strangely contrived reasoning?
A51082Is our esteem of, and adherence to, the wayes of righteousnesse, an overrating of things more then we ought?
A51082Is your alledged traditional subsequent humane institution of Prelacie of greater moment?
A51082It s answered, as it is but to tempt and mock God and his Providence, to neglect the means of preservation allowed by him?
A51082It''s answered 1. do you then think that our Lords Kingdom is only Allegorick?
A51082Know you not, that the usurping of this prerogative, both by your, and the Popish Church- men, hath been alwayes esteemed by us, an high arrogance?
A51082Nay, what may he not do?
A51082Next you Enquire why do you not anoint the sick with oyl?
A51082Next you proceed to challenge our Discipline, and what warrant we have for it?
A51082Next you say, Why may not the Christian Church compose new Hymnes, as they of Corinth did?
A51082Now judge, but a little, what it is, to have a right apprehension of things?
A51082Now, if any man would understand, wherein the sweetness, that is to be found in Divine converse, doth consist?
A51082Or because the symboles and badges, usuall in Earthly Kingdoms, are, in a figure, thereto transferred, is it therefore wholly a figure?
A51082Or doth it to either of them conclude a right?
A51082Or is the Emperour only the head of the union?
A51082Or was ever this part of his Majesties power by us questioned?
A51082Or were this contraire to the designe and nature of Religion?
A51082Or what Logick ● can prove that a just concurring assistance may be given in an unjust war?
A51082Or what part hath he that keepeth Covenant with him that avowedly breaketh it?
A51082Or will you admit it to be the Creating, and not also the Conserving cause?
A51082Or, because money is current and symony a frequent practice in your Church, he s it therefore any place in Christs true Church?
A51082Or, do you imagine that the Spirit in Prayer, is in the dress and form of words, so that whoever doth use them, doth pray by the Spirit?
A51082Or, is the Spirit in the prayer so volatile, that it evaporats in the saving?
A51082Or, is this one of the clearer grounds, you talk of?
A51082Our Lords Kingdom is truely not of the World, nor as the Kingdomes thereof, is it therefore not in the World?
A51082Paul did these things freely, therefore, you are bound to obedience: Do contraries, that remove, establish one another?
A51082Pray Sir, are Publick Maters transacted without private mens accession?
A51082Pray Sir, how or wherefore doth Scotland want that glory?
A51082Pray Sir, is this only to change the opinion of things, and leave us as much ob ● oxious, to be subjected in obedience as ever the Jews were?
A51082Pray Sir, was this a war provoked to by persecution& the necessity of defence, in which points, the justice of our courses doth cheifly Consist?
A51082Pray Sir, what make these for your Supremacie?
A51082Pray tell me, why the Church of Rome, that may boast as much of the same formula, may not as justly pretend to it?
A51082Pray, Sir, do you think the Spirits of just men made perfect, are not as yet justified?
A51082Pray, Sir, what is it?
A51082Say not where is Christian Charity?
A51082Setting aside therefore this your foisted in, Advancing, which all Non- conformists do disown, let us hear what you adde against Defending?
A51082Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A51082Sir I pretend not to your Privilege to scold in a meeke spirit, and to lie walking in the Spirit and falshood?
A51082Sir, did ye dream by this device to terrifie your N. C. into a forbearance to charge you with the guilt of Superstition?
A51082That they should be obeyed: is this their power for discipline and Government set down in Scripture,& not also its rules& limites?
A51082That we are not at all obliged to the King by their Oath, but because the right of the Crown is in his Person: who can forbear to laugh?
A51082The Spirit that giveth utterance?
A51082The invention of Man, to the Ordinance of God?
A51082The next demand your N. C. makes, is, How then is Saul charged, and his Children punished, for killing the Gibeonites?
A51082The only difficulty in this argument is, whether the tuition and custodie of this Law be, by its addresse, intrusted to the people?
A51082The thing I am concerned to notice is, why being so sharp in your resentment, are you so scant in your purgation?
A51082The third defect you challenge is, why wanted you Evangelists?
A51082Though in this place, the Spirits help for the direction of our words were not meant; can you deny, that, that gift, is not fully elsewhere promised?
A51082Thus your nice ceremonious stomach, nauseats sure and solid truths: You add, shew me a reason, why you make prayers and not praises?
A51082To this the Queen answereth, will yow allow ● that they shall take my sword in their hand?
A51082Was it not, that they went about to establish their own righteousnesse; and therefore, they did not submit themselves unto the Righteousnesse of God?
A51082We know the Reformation of England was never dated from that breach with the Bishop of Rome: But what then?
A51082Well Sir, is this your candor?
A51082Were the Apostles more then Ministers of Christ, and Stewards of the Mysteries of God?
A51082What do you then bable of united Soverraigns, and Soveraigns within themselves?
A51082What do you then intend by these instance?
A51082What do you understand by the Church policie?
A51082What doth this arguing conclude?
A51082What impudence is this then whereinto you are hardened?
A51082What is the state of Iustification?
A51082What likeness find you in Gregories case to these practices that we maintaine?
A51082What reasoning can be more absurd then that of yours?
A51082What shall be then said of your ensuing words?
A51082What strange dealing and doctrine is this?
A51082What then doth this allegeance, destitute of reason and little favoured by truth, avail you?
A51082What?
A51082Where doth Naphtali allow mens private judgment and discretion to be their warrant in such practices?
A51082Wherefore do you enumerat the Provincial Letters, so elaboratly write against them, among other profane Casuists?
A51082Wherefore may not a partie given to sedition, or error, devise and compose Forms to the same purpose, and with more success?
A51082Wherein doth it then differ, from actual Iustification?
A51082Whether in set and imposed Forms; or as the Spirit giveth utterance?
A51082Whether the Publick worship of God ought to be astricted to set and imposed Forms?
A51082Whether you do indeed condemn the Papists, in many of the points by you enumerate, let be on better grounds, is to me very dubious?
A51082Who denyes that the King may, within his Dominious, do the like?
A51082Who ever heard such ridiculous discourse in such a serious purpose?
A51082Who would not Laugh at such excessive confidence, above the excuse of all possible ignorance?
A51082Who would not pity such impertinencies?
A51082Why do they set at nought their brethren?
A51082Why do ye not there ore use this rite?
A51082Why do you then render you ● selfe ridiculous by such a pitiful alledgeance?
A51082Why is a part separate for Penitents, and not for communicating?
A51082Why then doth this vain subtilty so pitifully delude you?
A51082Why then is not your discerning equall to your judgement?
A51082YOu begin with a question, What great goodnesse it was which so commended our Partie?
A51082You add, and we are born his Subjects: but, pray, doth our birth as men, or as men born in such a place, bring us forth with this character?
A51082You object in the nex ● place, where do you read in Scripture, your classical Subordination of Sessions to Presbyteries,& c?
A51082You say, If one should with a short- hand follow his prayer, whom we say prayes by the Spirit; then, may not that prayer be used over again?
A51082You say, there are many Psalms prayers; and why may they not be used for constant prayers, as well as the other for constant praises?
A51082Your N. C. asks, but doth not the Spirit help our infirmities and teach us to pray?
A51082Your N. C. proceeds to argue thus: How was Adam obliged for his Posterity, if Parents can not binde their Children?
A51082],[ Amsterdam?
A51082and do you think it strange that the various exercises of his Servants and People, should be accounted proper matter for this exercise?
A51082and how you come to deny that Divine warrant which at first you half grant?
A51082and if to obey, and conforme to mischief, framed by a Law, be time- serving?
A51082and thirdly Why may not a Church- man officiat in a Surplice as- well as a penitent put on Sack- cloth?
A51082and why not his Oath?
A51082are you a Doctor in Israel, and also a high pretender for the King, and understands no better?
A51082are you not then ashamed to make it their threatning and fear?
A51082call you this Rigor?
A51082do not these words clearly intimate, that the injury done them, was contraire to that former Oath, whereby they were secured?
A51082do you mean to lay aside the Scripture?
A51082have you forgot the anointing that teacheth us of all things?
A51082if to forsake the way, and Truth of God, be to play the changling?
A51082or have you already answered the full and just account, that I have given of our differences?
A51082or in this accession, hath Conscience no concernment?
A51082or is your Poëtick vain so nicely delicate, that you can endure no verses inferior to your loftie Pindarick?
A51082or may the Magistrat annul, and make void the same, at his pleasure?
A51082shall we continow in sin that grace may abound?
A51082so, that which giveth an interest in the death of Christ, is faith, with a life conforme to the Gospel?
A51082the dayes of the death of Martyrs, observed by the Church under the name of Natalitiae Mart ● rum?
A51082was not the sure word of Prophecie their great warrant?
A51082was there nothing of Religion in abstaining from these?
A51082who can admit it?
A51082who is now on the Lords side?
A27046& c. Why not an Oath of Allegiance to make one a Coblar?
A27046& c. and those that sell Perriwigs, Pide- silks and Ribbons?
A27046( And had he proved it, is that a justification of the Liturgy?)
A2704610. you seem to defend: and 1. you say[ What is this more, than some that writ for the Kings Cause in the late Wars professed?]
A27046?
A27046A known falshood, if a Question may be false: What matter of Fact shall ever come to Posterity by such hands without falsification?
A27046A man that never saw me: why did he not cite Bishop Brambal''s proof?
A27046Alas, Brother, did you shew this to any man before you Printed it?
A27046Alas, how fell the good man under this temptation?
A27046Alas, will the good man turn Papist or Infidel, unless the Universal Church and a Diocesane have the same specifying difference, or formal Head?
A27046Am I therefore a Conformist?
A27046And I pray you, what number of Sinners must go to prove a Religion, Creed, or Articles false?
A27046And are all these Fathers and Christians damn''d?
A27046And are these his saving truths?
A27046And are you sure that your Conformists also are damned?
A27046And by what means shall any Church or Party under Heaven defend their Religion against such a Censurer and Disputant as you are?
A27046And can one and the same thing have two different Essences, beings, and definitions?
A27046And can you insist on such passages thus against your sight, when your Error is detected?
A27046And did not all my tedious writings convince you before now?
A27046And do not all Christians?
A27046And doth he say Yea, or Nay?
A27046And had the Text those contrary senses?
A27046And hath not he forsaken you also?
A27046And hath not the same Collect the same sense on the next days?
A27046And have you now vindicated the Doctrine of the chief Prelatists any better than by disowning them?
A27046And how came we to be less free than our Ancestors that made such Offices?
A27046And how long it was before the Christians had many considerable Schools, much less Universities?
A27046And how silly a shift is all this covered with?
A27046And if we are taken for intollerable Malefactors, is not undeceiving our Accusers and Haters a necessary means of Peace?
A27046And indeed, do you loath as much the altering of your Church Government as the Kings, and yet be loyal?
A27046And is Communicating in the Lords Supper all the Conformity that is scrupled?
A27046And is it hypocrisie then to say, I feared to displease you?
A27046And is it not credible that every man loveth himself, and is unwilling to be ruined?
A27046And is not that true?
A27046And is that no difference?
A27046And is that unequal?
A27046And is the Captain a Troop, or the Pastor a Church, if he be the gatherer of it?
A27046And is there no diversity in parte essentiae,( as in subalternis) where there is not a diversity in totâ essentia,( as there is in summis generibus?)
A27046And must Christ bear such a charge as well as I?
A27046And must you not Assent and Consent to all things in it?
A27046And next, why did you not prove that we hold those rebellious Genevian Principles?
A27046And our Question is not, what Party of Lads, or Apprentices, or Women did clamour against Bishops,?
A27046And quid inde?
A27046And so, whether the word Church here signifies but one Species?
A27046And this Talk needs a Confutation?
A27046And though I urge him, he will not answer what I said of the Question, Who shall judge whether the Minister be faithful?
A27046And was it possible that you should think that this made for you?
A27046And was that before the raising of the Army?
A27046And were you willing here to be understood?
A27046And what Doctrine is it to say, Christs Body is one; not as one is opposed to multitude, but to division and destruction?
A27046And what a jumble of swearing and unswearing would you have us make?
A27046And what else is it that we say, but the Using without Approving, satisfieth not the imposition?
A27046And what got the People by that scruple?
A27046And what if he can not be their Governour without their consent, doth this give them any part in governing?
A27046And what if they do?
A27046And what men the common Presbyters were; yea, and the Bishops for the most part?
A27046And what more necessary to unite us against the common Adversaries?
A27046And what need we more, were not the Parliament Lay- men?
A27046And what of that?
A27046And what saith he?
A27046And what temerity is it to feign men to wrong Christ by that which was his Institution, and so judged and used in all the Churches?
A27046And what then?
A27046And what then?
A27046And what''s all this to our Controversie?
A27046And when I never had a hand in putting any such men out, and have kept many of your Party in: What room after this for such a Question?
A27046And where should I begin but with the first?
A27046And who knoweth not that proximity is but dispositio materiae, and not the differencing form?
A27046And whose practice must it be that is the Exposition?
A27046And why must my Ministry lie on a thing beyond my knowledge?
A27046And why?
A27046And will true Conscience be convinced by such Arguments?
A27046And will you defend or own all that then was confessed by them?
A27046And will you so grosly dispute down Non- conformity?
A27046And would they also repent and change their minds, if they were alive?
A27046Anne putares?
A27046Answer, Is this proving?
A27046Answer, Still worse and worse: what Confusion is here?
A27046Are Conformists come to that?
A27046Are Presbyterians all for Excommunicating Kings?
A27046Are Rubricks of no use?
A27046Are not Bishops and Laicks partes heterogeneae?
A27046Are not Christ and Christians, the King and the Subjects of the Universal Church, partes heterogeneae, in esse politico relativo?
A27046Are not diversa distinguishable as well as opposita?
A27046Are not the words universal?
A27046Are not these words plain?
A27046Are not whole stones part of Mountains?
A27046Are such Doctrines of certain Faith no parts of the Book?
A27046Are they not Relative opposita?
A27046Are they not worthy to be silenced and branded as you have done, that can resist such Light?
A27046Are we guilty of that Mistake, who Take it, and Write for it?
A27046Are we not to do it in every partaking of the Lords Supper?
A27046Are we, I say, we now living, and silenced, answerable for all that any Presbyterian holdeth, any more than you are for what Hooker holdeth?
A27046Are your Logicks above my skill to answer?
A27046Are your ways here equal too?
A27046Are your words like Cyphers, that change their power by such additions?
A27046As if the King be contrary to himself, if his Kingdom and a Corporation or School be not of the same species?
A27046As to your doubt, whether England infected not Scotland?
A27046Barclay and Grotius make?
A27046But I pray you dream not, that I take all the old Ministry for such as these?
A27046But I think the King may not Administer Sacraments or Spiritual Discipline himself: Which of our Kings did it?
A27046But all your ways are just and equal: But I pray you, why was no Article about Excommunicating Kings offered us as a Test?
A27046But did they not increase and multiply?
A27046But do you believe therefore that there are no subordinate Species of Churches and Honour on Earth?
A27046But doth that prove that there are no subordinate Societies in these?
A27046But fie, Sirs, why will you talk of[ straining Oaths, and turning plain Oaths into Snares, ana ● allowing no Interpreters?]
A27046But how heedlesly do you read?
A27046But how long since after Edge- Hill Fight?
A27046But if Episcopal men are so unstable and simple to be drawn into such a War by a few Non- conformists, why do you not acknowledge it?
A27046But if all the Christian world be of the same mind, do they all set up Atheism, and are you only free?
A27046But if it must needs be so, I pray dispute no more against the Non- conformists, or dispute against them better by your Lives, than you have done?
A27046But is this the Question?
A27046But is this true?
A27046But it is not these Ends that will serve to prove a War lawful?
A27046But nobis non licet, Must we be Silenced and ruined for want of such Charity?
A27046But the Question is, Whether these be such?
A27046But what Party it was that raised the War?
A27046But what am I doing?
A27046But what good will it do the Reader, to have this mans Falshoods detected and numbred?
A27046But what if all this had been true?
A27046But what if the Bishop spake as falsely, as if he had said that I pleaded for Mahomet?
A27046But what if the first Non- Conformists erred?
A27046But what meant he to say[ should it be practised?]
A27046But what were the parts they had to act?
A27046But what''s all this to our Case in hand?]
A27046But what''s next?
A27046But what''s this to the Case?
A27046But where did the Lord Digby say it?
A27046But where is it that I said, that these honest Conformists sin avowedly, delaberately, and against knowledge?
A27046But where''s his proof?
A27046But who accused them?
A27046But why talk you of none being Interpreters?
A27046But will you falsly accuse the part that is good for the part that is evil?
A27046But you come to the quick, and say,[ Is there no Communion but personal?
A27046But( saith he) may not a man be a Shepherd by calling and occupation, unless he have a Flock, as well as a Physician?
A27046But, saith he, Why not à Church- Covenant for all other Duties?
A27046But, saith he,[ This makes against you — Can any man forbid these people from being Members of the Particular Church that are of the Universal?]
A27046Can you believe this?
A27046Can you not forbear this ill custome a few Lines together?
A27046Can you prove that I am for Silencing faithful Ministers, and making partition separating hedges in the Vineyard of Christ?
A27046Christ and a Bishop are heterogeneous: Yea, a Diocesane and a Parish- Priest: have you proved that they are not?
A27046Could it have been proved, would not the Duke of Buckingham have alledged it against his Adversaries?
A27046Could that be the Cause or Controversie which they were both agreed in?
A27046Did I?
A27046Did ever Christian before you, deny particular Churches to be distinct policies, and parts of the Universal?
A27046Did he not tell you that the Copy was interlined with Hookers own hand, as approving it?
A27046Did not even the Westminster- Assembly of old Conformists forsake it assoon as they could?
A27046Did not we live in the Country with them?
A27046Did such men as Dr. Twisse, Mr. Herle, Mr. Gataker, Mr. Vines,& c. want the Instruction of our present Lords, to make them wise enough to Conform?
A27046Did these Lads give the Earl of Essex his Commission?
A27046Did these satisfie him to Conform herein?
A27046Did they never read or hear what might be said for the New- Conformity?
A27046Did this prove me to be neither fish nor flesh?
A27046Did you ever know any put to death or burnt at a Stake for your Opinion?
A27046Did you not know till now, that the Nonconformists are not in all things of one mind?
A27046Did you think we must take your bare word in so great a case?
A27046Do I mai many Sentence?
A27046Do I pervert any?
A27046Do all or half the Non- conformists profess themselves Presbyterians?
A27046Do any Independents say that none are Christians but their special charge; yea, or stated Members of particular Churches?
A27046Do not Heathens abhor such Injustice as this?
A27046Do not men pay dearer for a place in a Play- house, than in the Church?
A27046Do not the Popish, Protestant, Episcopal, and Presbyterian, differ in the Form of Government?
A27046Do not those of the same Form differ as Individuals by their several Rulers?
A27046Do not you in Print proclaim men to be flesh or fish, hot or cold, that are not so?
A27046Do they think it enough to warrant their slanders of us, because one of their Archbishops hath slandered us before them?
A27046Do we forbid them that are not willing, or do they forbid themselves?
A27046Do we shut them out that will not come in?
A27046Do you intimate an Accusation against Many of them; and when I name almost all of that County neer you, will you absolve them all?
A27046Do you know that the Parliaments Adherents drew up a Catechism out of that Answer, as pretending to justifie all their Cause by it?
A27046Do you know what Discipline they were of at Prague?
A27046Do you mean in you or in me, or all others?
A27046Do you not Assent to that neither?
A27046Do you not tremble your self, when you question whether they be not gone to a worse place and revile us for the hopes of their Salvation?
A27046Do you resolve to cast away all Religion, if Christ and a Bishop be not the same informing regent parts of the Church Universal and particular?
A27046Do you say one word to prove your affirmation?
A27046Do you think that the Christian world, which hath ever been of the opinion which you detest, had never any Religion?
A27046Doth every one that after consenteth do more?
A27046Doth he not know that it is practised by them all?
A27046Doth he take such Arguments for unanswerable?
A27046Doth he that dishonoureth the University, deserve honour for being at the University?
A27046Doth it not imply, that you will take an Oath your self, if you judge but one part of it lawful?
A27046Doth it oblige only the first time?
A27046Doth not the extreme bold confidence of the falsest of his own conceptions, shew a very unhumbled overvaluing of his own understanding?
A27046Doth not this savour of Factious malignity?
A27046Doth the Act go to the Essence of the Object?
A27046Doth the Physician forbid them to be his Patients that consent not?
A27046Doth this suppose them ungodly before?
A27046Durst you swear that none of the Lords, or Commons, or Citizens meddled with the War, but those that entred into the Army?
A27046Either they were at Manhood, or in breeches at least, or not: If not, he should have chosen other Counsellers: If yea, were they Laymen or Clergymen?
A27046Enquire who drave away the People of Kederminster?
A27046Farwel the credit of all History, if there be no truer Historians:( But how shall Posterity know who they are?)
A27046For who can hold that which will away?
A27046Had he forgot how much of his Book is to prove even Bishops and Presbyters as widely different?
A27046Had he no pretence for it?
A27046Had it not been better for your to have let your Logick alone, than to bewray that which you might have concealed?
A27046Had the Martyrs been burnt, if men had been of this minde?
A27046Had they not Learning or Wit enough to understand it?
A27046Hath Christ a multitude of Bodies univocally so called?
A27046Hath Christ many Universal Churches containing all Christians headed by Christ?
A27046Have I so oft exprest it, and yet will you say so?
A27046Have there not since more( of the Laity) turned from you, than have turned to you?
A27046Have we so many Books written of Ecclesiastical Policie, and is there no such thing?
A27046Have you read him all, and understand him no better?
A27046Have you read the Kings Answer to the 19 Propositions?
A27046He addes,[ What shall godly Strangers, Travellers,& c. do?
A27046He saith,[ Why then do you blame turning Parish- Churches into Chappels, and making them but parts of a Diocesane, as a Troop of an Army?]
A27046He that refuseth Consent to be a stated Member, is none such: But is he therefore no Christian?
A27046He would 1. make it doubtful, Whether it was a Vow to God?
A27046Hearken whether they talk not more for Bishops, than for any other Sect?
A27046How came he to think that Election is nothing to the case, as if Consent were something more?
A27046How could you wink so hard, as not to see that your false witness confuteth it self?
A27046How did this bold man know my thoughts?
A27046How false is it then, that[ this is distraction and rage?]
A27046How far doth your hearing reach?
A27046How far will that hold?
A27046How few words of Truth, and soberness, and soundness, can you number among all these?
A27046How little truth is in all this, and abundance such?
A27046How long will you be of the Parish- Priests or the Diocesans Flock, or of a Physicians Hospital?
A27046How many of that Party have you known in such places of Trust?
A27046How shall the unlearned know when they are safe?
A27046I hope he doth not think all is excluded that is not to be named?
A27046I hope then a Bishop and a Presbyter are all one, that in your sorry sense agree in uno tertio?
A27046I know it is not But Cassander dealt more Candidly than you do Is there any thing that could be imposed, that would make you a Non- conformist?
A27046I know there are many excellent men: But I think the present Non- conformists as fit for the Sacred Office as these;( Is that presumption?)
A27046I left them out, because the Book could not be Licensed else: And should I not rather leave out a few Names, than cast away the whole Book?
A27046I mean, not as if All were such; but it hath been my hard hap to meet with few persons, even of Gentile Education, who ask me, Why do you not Conform?
A27046I never till now read or heard Papist, Protestant, or any Christian of his mind: And, alas, are divers of it now?
A27046I own that which you transcribe?
A27046I say, can I expect that such should be able or willing to understand us?
A27046I suppose you know, when the Test in the Corporation- Act was imposed, that Party were then turned out of all Corporation- power?
A27046I will not examine your Reasons: The King never made me his Confessor, nor put the question to me; Why then should I make my self a Judge of it?
A27046If Christ and a Bishop in esse relationis politicae differ essentially, must good and bad, Heaven and Hell be all one?
A27046If I give him no more than he is willing of, what do I put him out from?
A27046If I have disputed the Case by Reasons, Why did he not cite them, and tell where?
A27046If a Captain have commission to raise a Troop, is consent of the Listed needless?
A27046If by[ All] or[ None] I understand All or None, and you understand not All but Some, who is the Strainer of the Oath?
A27046If de re, do you mean any more than that he is authorized to gather and rule a Flock?
A27046If it be, dare you oppose it?
A27046If more, what is it?
A27046If not, how shall we know which words are useless?
A27046If not, is not one of them contrary to the Text?
A27046If not, tell us how we shall know what are parts of it, and to what we must consent?
A27046If our Preaching did no good to Souls, why should you think that yours does any?
A27046If so many in Queen Maries days were burnt for denying the Real Presence,& c. Shall I not fear Perjury?
A27046If so, is not[ conteined] an idle word when all men know that all that is prescribed is conteined?
A27046If so, you are men of no true Religion: If not, why expect you it from us?
A27046If the Materia Jurata be Lawfull, do you think that the unlawfulness of the other two, do leave no need of an Absolution?
A27046If there be any such, what''s that to me?
A27046If you can think so, why must all be silenced that think otherwise, and dare not be so bold?
A27046If you mean that indeed they do not, why would you not say so, and deal plainly?
A27046If you preach the same Gospel, why should you think so well of your own works above other mens?
A27046If you require me to write out all his Book, when ever I transcribe a part?
A27046In some places not two of the old staid in: And is it any wonder then, if none of that Party be in such Power?
A27046Is Christ''s Discipline against our highest Priviledges?
A27046Is Mr. Allen''s Book for Covenanting, and Mr. Rawlet''s of Sacramental Covenanting, such unchristening Heresies?
A27046Is a Positive and a Comparative Assertion all one?]
A27046Is a man and womans Consent needless, unless the Ministers marrying them be needless?
A27046Is he a compleat Pastor of a Flock that hath none?
A27046Is he not a Calumniator, unless he prove it?
A27046Is it Schism to say, That it is unlawful like Atheists to cease all Publick Worship of God, till Conscience can finde it lawful to Conform?
A27046Is it all the Christian world?
A27046Is it damnable or sinful to covenant to be a godly Servant, or a godly Husband or Wife, or a godly Minister or Magistrate?
A27046Is it so frightful a thing for me to say, I will be no Pastor to any that consent not, as to put you into talk of dying and burning at a Stake?
A27046Is no modesty or tender fear of sinning against the Ninth Commandment left?
A27046Is not Animal rationale a just definition of a man, without naming his Liver and Spleen, or Heart?
A27046Is not Conformity now another thing?
A27046Is not Consent then necessary to the imposed Pastor, if not consenting Unchristen men?
A27046Is not a whole hand or foot part of a whole man?
A27046Is not one Joshua Placaeus pro deitate Christi, worth all that ever was then wrote?
A27046Is not the Genus& differentia enough for a definition?
A27046Is not the mateial Universe made up of compounded parts?
A27046Is not your Superiour''s judgment imposed on you to Assent to?
A27046Is such Conformity tolerable, and our Preaching intolerable without it?
A27046Is that an unequal expectation?
A27046Is that the art of defining?
A27046Is the rest contradictory to this?
A27046Is there any part of the Universe if this be true?
A27046Is there no such thing as Personal Communion in presence, because there is such a thing as distant Communion of another sort?
A27046Is this fairly done, to pretend that to be the Controversie which I never undertook to meddle with?
A27046Is this it in which the Authority of Archbishops consisteth, that they must be followed in slanders?
A27046Is this lawful?
A27046Is this made by a Minister a heinous sin?
A27046Is this the equality of your way?
A27046Is this the usual sence of[ All things,& c.] If not, where have the Law givers given us another?
A27046It is a fallacy, A dicte secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter: I only askt you, What Farthing doth it take from their Estates?
A27046It is a wonder to me that an Englishman should be in doubt who they be that drive men from the Parish Churches?
A27046It is not one or two such men as are the Guides of Souls in England: But what?
A27046Judge by old experience: Were old Hildersham, Ames, Dod, and hundreds like them, brought to Conformity heretofore?
A27046Judge by present Experience: Why is it not done, if it be morally possible?
A27046Let those sober men pass by; Do such Houses want custome?
A27046May not a Town, Hospital, or Person, chuse a Physician as theirs if he were licensed be- before?
A27046May you not distinguish Army, and Regiment, and Troop, Kingdom and City, Christ and a Bishop?
A27046Most Christians live not according to the Christian Profession: Is the Christian Profession therefore bad, and the cause of all their Villanies?
A27046Must it be all, or the major part, or will any one serve?
A27046Must not Popery be renounced till you are all herein agreed?
A27046Must we all turn Papists upon your immodest naked saying, it is so?
A27046Must we judge all lawful, because our Guides do so?
A27046Must we write Books against such things as these?
A27046Must we write Histories out of mens secret thoughts and hearts, and call men only what they are conscientiously and in sincerity?
A27046Nay what if he can not baptize a Non- consenter, or give him the Lords Supper, is the Refuser a Church- governour?
A27046Next he aggravates this Injury: And who contradicteth him?
A27046Next he asks, How can any man know the right Church then?
A27046Next, he questioneth,[ Who shall degrade them that prove Heretical or Scandalous?
A27046Next, he quibbles onely with a Question[ How long shall it last?]
A27046Nor are we agreed of all forbidden in Gods Laws; Must we therefore forbear no sin?
A27046Nor hath now any?
A27046Nor no different species of the civil honour, what not to Kings, Parents, Masters?
A27046Nor the Bishops to silence Ministers that refuse such Conformity?
A27046Of the Wars I spake before: What other doth he name?
A27046Oportuit fuisse memorem?
A27046Or can I know who are capable till I know who consenteth?
A27046Or did we spring out of their Loins, and must be silenced for such Original sin, derived from them that were no kin to us?
A27046Or had they no Conscience living or dying?
A27046Or what if I vowed without the Command of any power?
A27046Or, whether the King of France be absolute?
A27046Our Question is, Whether Silencing, Fining, Imprisoning the Non- Conformists, be the way of Peace, and of the desired Concord of Protestants?
A27046Say you so; our Question is, Whether different Degrees in the subject may vary the species of Relations?
A27046Seaman,& c. did not consider what they did, neither in their Health, nor before their Death?
A27046Semper idem?
A27046Should I abuse the Reader by a particular Answer to them?
A27046Should we not have known them?
A27046So I perceive you would have me Conform that I may Preach: And what should I Preach against but Sin?
A27046So the Rubrick and the 39 Articless were the judgment of your Superiours: But are not they, and that Preface, parts of the Book?
A27046Still all alike; What?
A27046Suppose, so the Covenant hath some good?
A27046That you seem to me to come near to Blasphemy, to intimate that Christ ordained so vain a Discipline: What?
A27046The Canon forbiddeth the Minister to refuse any as aforesaid; What''s this then to the rest?
A27046The Liturgie bids men come tell the Ministers before- hand that they desire the Communion: Shall I ask them to consent to their duty when it is past?
A27046The Question is but whether it be our Church- men or theirs that are to be believed?
A27046The Question is not, What were the final Motives of the War?
A27046Then what remedy?
A27046These things being premised, I ask you, Are you in good sadness?
A27046They never pretended to it: How many men are so, whose Faith is their own?
A27046Till then, is it the Pastors that refuse such till they voluntary seek it, or the Contemners of these Priviledges, that are to be reproved?
A27046Was it not long after, at the Treaty of Uxbridge that you mean?
A27046Was it well done to write such a Book, while he understood so very little of the very plainest passages which he wrote against?
A27046Was not the Proposals at Nottingham sent by the Earl of Essex, a little before the raising of the Army?
A27046Were not these the Levellers and Democratists Principles, higher than the old Parliament owned?
A27046Were we and our present Controversie,( for the most of us) in being, and at age when the Lord Digby spake that?
A27046What Bishoprick was it that he sought and missed of, and when?
A27046What Book- sellers break faster than those that confine their Trade to rare Pieces of Antiquity, Learning, Reason, and serious Piety?
A27046What Cheater then will not foist in some bad thing into his Vows, that he may be disobliged from all the rest?
A27046What Church must he covenant with that was first baptized?
A27046What Credit then is to be given to such mens History or Reports?
A27046What Hereticks should we be?
A27046What Shops have more trading, or seldomer break, than Toy- shops, that sell Babies, and Puppets, and Hobby- horses, and Pipes?
A27046What a saying and unsaying is this?
A27046What a thing is factions Interest?
A27046What a trick has he found to exempt us all from Government?
A27046What are the Parts of the Book to which we are to declare our Assent and Consent?
A27046What can not you verily believe, which you are but willing should be true?
A27046What credit can be given to Histories of things bapned in the Indies 2000 years ago?
A27046What encouragement have we to embody with that Tribe, who all Consent to this, and not one of multitudes of them do it?
A27046What false Doctrine is charged on us?
A27046What hands are we fallen into?
A27046What if God should send an Angel or Prophet with a particular Message so to do?
A27046What if I shew how far Lying is unlawful?
A27046What if a Thief force me to swear Allegiance to the King, or to swear to do some Duty, doth it not add a Second bond?
A27046What if the King command a Bishop to Excommunicate a Magistrate or Parent for Treason?
A27046What if the Oath of Allegiance be thrice taken?
A27046What in the great Hooker?
A27046What is my Chair?
A27046What is of Use if these be not?
A27046What is the Crime that we have committed?
A27046What is the Schism?
A27046What is the plain sense, but an universal sense of an universal enunciation?
A27046What may not such a Wit prove true and lawful, if the man be willing?
A27046What need you disown or cover it, if it were not so?
A27046What pretty Logick is here, to prove a King and a Constable all one, because they are both Men, both Christians, and both Rulers?
A27046What still untruths?
A27046What then is imposed to be believed?
A27046What will you call this dealing?
A27046What would you have more?
A27046What would you say to such returns?
A27046What''s that to us any more than to you?
A27046What, may not Corpus politicum be a member of a larger body Politick?
A27046What?
A27046When it''s visible in the Book that I avoid Argumentation, doth not that prove that I said true?
A27046When shall we meet with a true Sentence?
A27046When the Question is, As whether the Parliament of England be English- men, or French- men?
A27046When your practices much much differ?
A27046Where and when did I engage any to dwell in the Parish?
A27046Where did you seek to find it?
A27046Where is the proof of all these Accusations?
A27046Where is your proof then?
A27046Whether he justifie not the silencing and ruining of all whom he so accuseth?
A27046Whether the great number of asserted untruths here, shew not some want of necessary tenderness, or care of writing?
A27046Whether the two thousand Ministers were justly Silenced?
A27046Which Party hath killed more for Religion?
A27046Which way do Churches that are parts of the Universal, cast out all Religion?
A27046Who authorized you to say that[ Assenting and Consenting to all things contained and prescribed] meaneth not as it saith?
A27046Who knoweth another mans sincerity but God?
A27046Who would have thought that there had been such men among Christians, and Pastors of a Reformed Church?
A27046Why did he pretend to defend the rest, which are imposed in the same Act?
A27046Why did not the man tell where and when?
A27046Why may not Archbishops then make Patriarks, and they a Pope, ad summum ascendendo?
A27046Why may not Consent, and Ordination, and Institution, and Induction too, be all needful?
A27046Why must I believe them more than Heylin, or more than Doctor Moulin afore- cited believed the English Tradition against Geneva?
A27046Why not a Marriage- covenant to make one a Priest?
A27046Why should playing in the dark, or dealing under- board, be preferred in the greatest things?
A27046Will ever men of such different Capacities, Educations,& c. agree in such and so many things?
A27046Will his Reasonings make me ignorant of such a matter of my own fact?
A27046Will it hold in Italy, or in France, or in Denmark; or formerly in Scotland if you had lived there?
A27046Will it not more tire than profit the Reader, if I should number abundance more of his Untruths?
A27046Will men awake believe that Petitioning is no Endeavouring?
A27046Will not Experience convince you?
A27046Will there not be Children and indulgent Parents while the world lasteth?
A27046Will you defend this because Hooker wrote it?
A27046Will you judge fidem ex homine?
A27046Will you preach this Doctrine to your Flock?
A27046Will you thus reproach all Bishop Gauden''s triumphant Vindication and Dedication to the King?
A27046Would you make an English- man of this age believe, that none of your own Church have an appetite to Bishops Lands?
A27046Would you your selves change your minds in Religion, if you were but Fined and Imprisoned?
A27046Yea more, yet I much doubt, whether all the Bishops of England now would Conform themselves as Ministers do, if they were put to it?
A27046Yea those that determine of Doctrines, which are not only de Fide, but matters of Salvation, certain undoubted Salvation of all baptized Infants?
A27046You think that such Books will make the Book- sellers- shops, like the Toy- shops: And what if they do?
A27046[ Did ever any Bishop aspire to such Tyranny as this, the Pope only excepted?
A27046[ Why tell you of mens Professions, when you see their contrary Practice?]
A27046a better Logician than all the Assembly too?
A27046after such a confident Perswasive to Conformity?
A27046and Fulgentius, how would the Lads reconcile their Doctrinal Disagreements, and then draw one Method out of both Parties?
A27046and that of Europe?
A27046and that of the world?
A27046and whole Fields of the whole Countrey?
A27046and whole Herbs of the whole Garden?
A27046and whole Parishes of the whole Diocess and County, and those of the Kingdom?
A27046and whole Trees of the Forrest?
A27046and yet in the Oath swear that it is not lawful to resist any Commissioned by him?
A27046at a venture, true or false, and to have ended at the Nicene Council, yea or any where short of Augustine: What a Method think you would they draw up?
A27046besides abundance of accidental differences?
A27046but only an useable measure of Truth and Goodness?
A27046even such a Body as we treat of?
A27046is every renewal of the Covenant of Godliness or Christianity a Rebaptizing, or supposeth us Pagans?
A27046is there not both diversity and opposition, inter totum& partem, and between the species of an universal and particular Society?
A27046no way but by making Christ and a Bishop formally the Head?
A27046nor contained in it?
A27046or is it not the same spirit?
A27046or must we lay by our senses in believing such Writers against damning errour?
A27046or no Churches that are Politick Societies?
A27046or that they are?
A27046or were any but Consenters Members of that Church?
A27046or why was there never any such difference between us and the Prelatists pretended?
A27046or will he have none in the definition?
A27046or, Convenientia partialis& totalis, Accidentalis& Essentialis, were all one?
A27046should not such impious Atheists be silenced?
A27046that is, unless his Church- relation be the same with the Bishops?
A27046they that say[ We will rule none but Consenters or Volunteers,] or they that call this wickedness and abomination, and so are for the contrary course?
A27046what a Synod was?
A27046what a strange Chain of Calumnies can you make?
A27046what an Army was?
A27046what uncertain Guides have you?
A27046what''s this to Baptism?
A27046when I was acquainted familiarly with so many of them all?
A27046who would have thought but this was neerer your opinion than theirs?
A27046will he have another?
A27046with wat weapons are we assaulted?
A27046yea, what snares are thus laid to rob men of their time, as well as their Faith and Charity?
A27046— How can any man know which is the right Church?

A96610And if God hide from his, from any, who can discover?

A96610But how falls an Antichristian or Apostate more directly under the stroake of the Civill Sword, then a Jew or Turke or Pagan?

A96610I know what troublesome Effects followed in the same place, and what Breaches of Civill and humane Societie?
A96610I reply, and ask, who shall judge of Princes profession and practice, when they thus feed and judge in spirituall matters?
A96610I say, what will become of them( especially if power were in Master Cottons hand to deal with them as Wolves?)
A96610If it be denied, I ask to what end the Lord hath given those holy rules of admonition?

A96610and are wolves to be driven away, and sheep brought into the fold by the same instruments?
A96610and do not all experiences, and our own most lamentable, in the changes of our English Religions, confirme this?
A96610and having so much to doe with the Saints, could he otherwise choose, but heare and see many heavenly passages tending to his soules conviction?
A96610and how then is the church guarded?
A96610and it is not against the nature of the true Sheepherd to send forth his Doggs to worrie such a VVolfe,& c?

A31961Are there not some of you, I only put the question, that begin to loath the Manna of your souls, and to look back towards Egypt again?
A31961Are these the Professors, that are proud, stubborn, passionate, censorious, self- conceited, as contemptuous, and envious as any others?
A31961Are we in danger of Idols?
A31961Are we not said to concur with him?
A31961Are you not like the Church of Laodicea, that are neither hot nor cold?
A31961As I remember, in the Book of Martyrs the usual argument was, Why can not you worship the Idol?
A31961As if the Apostle should say, do we need letters of commendation?

A31961Brethren, I could do very much for the love I bear to you but I dare not sin?
A31961But do you not mistake?
A31961But here it may be objected, Are not the unrighteous gathered by death as well as the righteous?
A31961But here''s a great question to be answered, How dot ● … it appear that it is well with the righteous?

A31961Consider how much hath been lost upon many a soul for want of care to take rooting, and to proceed?
A31961Consider, the nature of true grace tends to this: will you cross the nature of it?
A31961Did the people of Israel, as here in the Text, lose the Ark, because they abhorred the offering of God?
A31961Did you ever buy this truth?
A31961Did you not come to this Faith and Belief by common report?
A31961Do but argue thus, You profess to be Believers; and is it not your duty to answer to this profession?
A31961Do not the Books agree, the Book of thy Conscience, and the Book of my Omniscience?
A31961Do we again begin to commend our selves, or need we, as some others, Epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?

A31961Fear not, O Iac ● … b; why so?
A31961First, In thy infirmities: Dost thou love holiness when it is compassed about with sorrows, and troubles, and persecutions?
A31961First, The Depositum, or thing laid up, which is a Treasure; and what is this Treasure, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
A31961First, What a confounding word is this to all the wicked, that go on desperately in sin, that add drunkenness to thirst?
A31961For the very truth is, we are never able to make out a good Title to any Gospel- truth, untill such time as we can say we have bought it: How?
A31961For then, First, What the better art thou for all his blood shed as yet, if thou wert this day to dye?
A31961For this cause we do not cease to pray for you: What was the thing the Apostle in this his constant Prayer did begg of God for them?
A31961Fourthly, is this pleasing of God a duty of so great importance and benefit?
A31961God is the righteous mans portion; and can God give a greater gift to us, than to give Himself to us?
A31961God will call forth sinners by Name, and say, Stand forth, Hear thy charge, Let me see what thou canst answer to it?
A31961God will not be tyed to his own rule: and, Who knoweth but God will deliver us?

A27035And is not this to judge whether he be a Heretick,& c. or not?
A27035And is not this true?
A27035And is the disputing of a question falsly stated of any profit?
A27035And shall he that refuseth Communion chuse one to give it others, because he hath a Soul himself?
A27035And to forbear silencing, excommunicating, fining and imprisoning us?
A27035And to whom this Family Government most belongeth?
A27035And was not his fear of the disagreement of the Clergy?
A27035And were then no more Churches that had governing Pastors?
A27035And what a Case is the Church of England in, that hath still so many Ministers that pray as the Jesuits Disciples?
A27035And what a Church was it that made the Canons against them on that supposition?
A27035And what a dangerous invention is it to say that the Minister here speaketh not from Christ but the Church, in receiving in those dedicated to him?
A27035And what did Austin but perswade them to consent?
A27035And what if the name of Government or the Keys had been put in, when it is denyed in its essential part?
A27035And what is all this to our case of total and peremptory exclusion?
A27035And what is all this to the many thousand Noncommunicants, who quietly remain members of your Churches?
A27035And what is it of[ Worship established by Law] that individuates your Church?
A27035And what then becomes of its Laws, and all the Treatises of its Church- Policy?
A27035And what''s this to the Case the Peoples election or consent?
A27035And whether he hath not instituted an office to judge of this and by Government execute it?
A27035And which be those Seats?
A27035And who but Philosophers judge of Graduates and Professours in Philosophy?
A27035And who can find any Answer to this?
A27035And who doubts but a great General Council had the greatest power then?
A27035And who gave it them?
A27035And who knoweth then who are of their Church?
A27035And who shall judge whether the disagreement be in Substantials?
A27035And why Father and Mother rather than Prince and Priests are named in the Fifth Commandment?
A27035And why doth he mention that the People consented and received him, if they had no consenting Vote, or right on just cause to dissent?
A27035And why else was the peoples resistance feared?
A27035And yet they shall judge and choose for themselves, and speed accordingly, who can help it?
A27035And you that praise his death- bed repentance, should not Characterize him by failings twenty years repented of?
A27035And, is that according to God''s word?
A27035Are all these no difference of case?
A27035Are none of them true Churches in sensu politico?
A27035Are not you the Author of the Defence of B. Laud, and say, That Christ gave the Keys to Peter as the representative of the whole Church?
A27035Are the benefits so bestowed no Graoe?
A27035Are there none in all the same Books he citeth?
A27035Are they such circumstances before named: Oaths, Declarations, Subscriptions, Doctrine,& c?
A27035Are we looser than Pope Nicholas that forbad men to hear Mass from a Fornicating Pricst?
A27035Are you loth to be understood?
A27035As if our question had not been, Which is the Regent part of the Church of England?
A27035As if the common Souldiers and not the Generals were the cause of the War?
A27035As if the same effect might not, yea must not have a Suprior and Inferior Cause?
A27035As to Beza''s Letter, have not I said more against Separation than he doth?
A27035As to his question, Was there less necessity then or now?
A27035Aud why do you make such a stir with Separatists to bring them to your Churches?
A27035But 1. he proveth that they were all of that mind, by citing four of their Books against Brownists; and were four or forty times four, all?
A27035But I appeal to the reason and humanity of mankind, into what hands the silenced and persecuted Ministers are fallen?
A27035But I would ask the Dean himself, whether a man may not be a fixed Member of two or three Churches at once?
A27035But are these Laws good that forbid it?
A27035But are they not excommunicate then, before they are so oft denounced, yea or at all, as far as aforesaid?
A27035But asketh[ whence cometh all this zeal now against a National Church?]
A27035But did they deny that which all the Christian World confesseth?
A27035But do you not say also to the Presbyters Receive the Holy Ghost?
A27035But doth he in all his Book do any thing to satisfie any mans Conscience, that would know from what Churches he may or may not separate?
A27035But doth not the Doctor thus grievously accuse the Church which he would defend?
A27035But doth not this make the people Judges whether Princes and Parliaments are Orthodox, and is not that as dangerous as to judge of the Teachers?
A27035But how comes that Church to command and bind, which hath no such Ruling power?
A27035But how fallaciously is this urged?
A27035But how shall we know whether we agree or not, if we are no judges of it?
A27035But in what common things?
A27035But is not my inference necessary?
A27035But it''s intimated, that this was because we agreed in other things?
A27035But may not the unjustly excommunicate that can not on just terms be restored, worship God in some publick Church?
A27035But must it be otherwise?
A27035But must they not therefore be discerning Judges, who is their Landlord, Master, Husband, What Schoolmaster may not unlearned men miscensure?
A27035But put the case within your sight?
A27035But really doth he think that this doth unavoidably set up the Pope?
A27035But were good and bad Bishops in all Ages thus minded, or was it only Popes?
A27035But what Infants?
A27035But what if the Parents are bid provide such?
A27035But what need had you to say all this of Images?
A27035But what was the Altar that was taken with particular respect to the Bishop?
A27035But when( Destruction) signifieth( Damnation) it is a hard bargain?
A27035But who can reconcile this with the scope of his whole Book?
A27035By what way this National consent is to be declared?
A27035Can a man be a Pastor against his will, or that con ● enteth not, but renounceth it?
A27035Can he be a true Pastor that is uncapable of the Office?
A27035Can it be more Immediate than in the very present dedicating act, to use the sign and expressing the dedicating signification?
A27035Can they at once hold contradictions?
A27035Churches preaching?
A27035Consent to what?
A27035Could any man have so far searcht his heart as to know that he spake only against Separation in this one City?
A27035Could you judge it honest zeal had it been to others?
A27035Dare he say that all true Churches are not real parts of Christ''s Universal Church, as a Governed body?
A27035Dare he say, that all imposed must be owned?
A27035Did I say that my hearers are constant hearers in your Churches?
A27035Did he think any of this concerned me?
A27035Did he think that this is inconsistent with the opinion that they work it morally?
A27035Did not I write against his opinion of Church- Government?
A27035Did the Church at Alexandria ever after chuse their Bishops, and not before?
A27035Did the Doctor think this was to the purpose?
A27035Did the Heptarchy make England one Kingdom, when seven Kings Governed the whole by parts, but none the whole, as such?
A27035Did the Synod of D ● rt make us one with them?
A27035Did they meddle by Force, with Body or Purse?
A27035Did they not tell us then their sence?
A27035Do large Councils make many Nations one Church?
A27035Do not Nonconformists differ from Erastians?
A27035Do not all do so too, till now?
A27035Do not we now differ about the undoubted certainty of the salvation of all dying baptized Infants?
A27035Do the Clergy represent the King?
A27035Do the words suppose that which is plainly excepted in them?
A27035Do you also tell us which is your National Church- power and I have done?
A27035Do you make England in essentials any more one Church, than England and any Foreigners agreeing are one?
A27035Do you not know our Reasons?
A27035Do you not now absolve all men from the duty of obeying the Church of England a ● such, and from all guilt of disobeying them?
A27035Do you not see your own Contradictions?
A27035Do you think that there is more force in the name of a Jesuit to disgrace Spiritual prayer, or in the name of Spiritual prayer to honour the Jesuits?
A27035Doctor will you take your Oath that you are thus a true Minister?]
A27035Doth any Protestant doubt of what I assert?
A27035Doth any of us deny that the Bishops were the Ordainers of Bishops?
A27035Doth he agree with us in all the Substantials of Religion who knoweth not the very essentials of Christianity?
A27035Doth he agree with us in all the substantials that is a Heretick?
A27035Doth he any where tell us, in what cases and how far they must judge?
A27035Doth he believe that he meant that all or the twentieth part of the Nonconformists wrote or subscribed it?
A27035Doth he believe that the Kingdoms of the World are not visible parts of God''s Universal Kingdom?
A27035Doth he doubt of this?
A27035Doth he himself take any one of these for a true political Church?
A27035Doth he not confess that I own general Visitors or Archbishops and appeals?
A27035Doth he not perceive that he turneth the Controversie, from the necessity of a Regent head, to the necessity of his visibility?
A27035Doth he think that the Catholick Church consenteth not to one Governing Head, Christ?
A27035Doth he think that the Presbyters choice excludeth the Peoples when it is a known thing that the Canons and Custom constantly conjoyned them?
A27035Doth he think the Papists take the Conformists or the Nonconformists to be nearer to them and less against them?
A27035Doth it die and live again as oft as Parliaments change it?
A27035Doth none of all this difference their case and ours?
A27035Doth not Doctor Stillingfleet heavily reproach his own Church for such usuage of them?
A27035Doth not a stock of knowledge enable you to Preach without book?
A27035Doth not all this shew their mind?
A27035Doth not he pretend also in his way to declare the terms of Concord?
A27035Doth not the Doctor unhappily chuse his testimonies?
A27035Doth not this instance prove, that the Bishop had not power to chuse one of himself?
A27035Doth not this prove that their choice or consent was necessary?
A27035Doth not this shew that the people were the chusers?
A27035Doth such a wicked sentence bind men to live like Atheists till death?
A27035Doth the Dr. believe indeed that these writings signifie that the Nonconformsts of those times thought it a sin to Preach eo nomine because forbidden?
A27035Doth this Political description of Parochial, Diocesane, Provincial, Patriarchal Churches, also bring in Popery?
A27035Doth this doctrine justifie the Papists?
A27035Doth your Church require this ad esse, or but ad melius esse?
A27035Et propter hoc interrogat accedentes ad baptismum an credant?
A27035Fixed Government to a fixed Church, and transient temporary Government to an answerable Church?
A27035For what concord hath Christ and Belial?
A27035Had he meant as aforesaid, had my words been Rage, or necessary confutation?
A27035Had it not been better to have past over this Council?
A27035Had it not been requisite that you should have justified all that we stick at as unlawful, before you charge us with crossing this Rule?
A27035Had the neighbour Heathens and Hereticks of old power to chuse Bishops for the Church, while they refused to be of the Church themselves?
A27035Hath he named any?
A27035Have none of these, have not each of these a Regent Constitutive part?
A27035Have such representatives more power to express our consent than we our selves?
A27035He before saith,[ Was the Cross a dedicating sign to God, or a declarative sign to men?]
A27035He instanceth in mens censure of me for the Doctrine of Justification and asketh, Are men bound to separate from me?
A27035He is again at his talk of only occasional Communion?
A27035He motioned a Bishop to end the difference; And who opposeth that?
A27035He saith, Is our worship directed to it or may we kneel before it, as Mr. B. allows men may do before a Crucifix?
A27035He yet more pleads as for Separation[ why then above once or twice?
A27035How can men Govern that are no Governours?
A27035How come Dissenters bound by Parliament consent?
A27035How do you know that the Dr. repented not of his too hard words of you till his death- bed?
A27035How doth he prove it?
A27035How easily might he have known that we would deny the consequence?
A27035How much more say these than my[ intolerable indiscretion?]
A27035How much of this goeth to make a Separatist?
A27035How prove you that the Clergy represent the Laity in the Convocation?
A27035How shall one get all the world to be wise and good?
A27035How shall one know among all these, who are, or are not of your Church?
A27035How shall one know how far consent is necessary to a Member, and dissent unchurcheth him?
A27035How shall we know whether we keep them or not, or will you take upon you the guilt of our sins in disobeying his will?
A27035How unhappily are the Church- Defenders and Conformists disagreed?
A27035How was it known in the beginning of Queen Elizabeths days, when the Papists came to Church?
A27035How was the Church of England known from Papists, in the beginning of H. 8. or in the middle, or in the end?
A27035I again say that either the Reader hath read the Church History and Canons, or not?
A27035I am glad you are not for separating for want of Episcopacy or Episcopal Ordination?
A27035I have fully told him how in a whole Book of concord, And hath their way caused greater peace and order?
A27035I never met with man that pretendeth to know them, and therefore never met with man that can thus tell, whether he be of the Church of England or not?
A27035I pray you tell us, from whom our Arch- bishops receive their power?
A27035I regarded not the censures of any that go too far, so as to keep me from doing what I judged lawful: And did it tend to peace?
A27035I see none of those, I come in divers where many can not hear the Preacher; and would you have more?
A27035I therefore answer his question further, what Church I was a Member of?
A27035I thought no man but Mr. Cheny and some odd Papists had been of this Opinion?
A27035I was a Member of Christs Universal Church?
A27035If Church worship be needless, why is a Clergy to be so honoured, and maintained at so dear a rate?
A27035If I name one Obligation to Communion with you, is it a learned Note to gather that I deny all other?
A27035If every Law of Order be essential to your Church, few Conformists are of it: If only the true essentials, why are not we also of it?
A27035If false, O what a sort of men were these Prelates that so stigmatized and accused and so used so many hundred such men, on so false a charge?
A27035If it be All Infants, then how come the Heathens Infants to be baptizable and have right, when the Parents have none?
A27035If it be the later, is it one in specie or in individu ● politico?
A27035If it deserve such a Character to censure Arminians as dangerously erroneous and befriending Popery?
A27035If it never was in their minds to trust them as Consenters for them?
A27035If none, why are we not confuted?
A27035If not so, How to know that our silencing Laws and Bishops must be obeyed, and not theirs?
A27035If not, how can he tell who to believe that report them?
A27035If not, is it not a contradiction to call it a governed Church?
A27035If not, what a divided party are the Conformists, while so many use it and pray spiritually?
A27035If not, what makes them and not me to be of that Church?
A27035If sin, who should be most offended?
A27035If the Gospel be needless, why do we wish the Heathens had it?
A27035If the Peoples consent can make a National Church, why may it not make an Independant or Presbyterian Church?
A27035If the corruption of one have been the generation of another, how many Churches of England have you had?
A27035If the first, all Canon- breakers are dismembred?
A27035If the former, is it all false Doctrine or but some, and what?
A27035If the later, why am not I of your Church?
A27035If they be and do in good earnest desire to know how to please God and serve him, what directions will they give him?
A27035If they have him, why can not they speak their own hearts in other words than yours?
A27035If true, how untrue are Doctor Stillingfleet''s?
A27035If we should renounce our Christianity for them, we are never the nearer: for we are still Men and therefore loth to be destroyed in Hell?
A27035If when the blind lead the blind both fall into the ditch, must we not note the difference?
A27035If yea then is he a Pastor that wants what is essential to a Pastor?
A27035If yea, is it nothing to him to seem thus seriously to plead against his conscience?
A27035If you are, did the Jesuits teach it you?
A27035If you can not see your own face, let any impartial Reader be your glass, and ask him whether you do not that which you are condemning?
A27035If you know the Teachers heart, how know you the Peoples?
A27035If you meant only Civil?
A27035If you say from the Bishops, and so Inferiours or Equals may give power, why may not Presbyters make Presbyters or Bishops, and generare speciem?
A27035Is Baptism and the Lords Supper a sign to God, or to man?
A27035Is a Layman a true Pastor that is not truly called to it?
A27035Is forming new Churches and not communicating with the old ones all one?
A27035Is he a zealous Enemy of Schisin that taketh all this for none?
A27035Is he not unreverend to their Canons?
A27035Is his Rule true only in England, or in France, Spain, Italy, Muscovy,& c. also, or where, that the Law maketh men true Pastors?
A27035Is it any easier to do evil In obedience to a Patriarch than a Pope?
A27035Is it necessary then that the Universal Head must be visible if the subordinate be so?
A27035Is it no older than the Liturgy or Canons?
A27035Is it not enough to turn us all out of the publick Ministry?
A27035Is it not lawful for peace to forbear forcing men to disoblige 1000?
A27035Is it our Salvation that we must sacrifice to Priests, Prelates or Princes wills?
A27035Is it such men that thus make you agents for a Pope?
A27035Is it unlawful to Christen such as scruple your use of the Cross?
A27035Is malignant opposing Godliness and pleading for prophaneness or ungodliness an agreement in all the Substantials?
A27035Is not Government essential to a Governed Church?
A27035Is not this a strong proof that the people had no such agreeing or chusing power, because the Metropolitan and Synod also had their vote?
A27035Is not this in the School of Christ, and in the method of the Gospel a plain disorder?
A27035Is not this plainly to chuse damnation?
A27035Is not this the Pharises vae?
A27035Is not this to prefer Mint and Annis to faith aud judgment and mercy?
A27035Is not this to wa ● ● the outside of the Cup, and leave the inner part uncleansed?
A27035Is that none?
A27035Is there no dependancy in any of these, or all?
A27035Is this called the Church diffusive one Governed body Politick?
A27035Is this edifying?
A27035Is this hard to be understood?
A27035Is this just dealing, And doth it not confute himself?
A27035Is this only occasional joyning?
A27035Is this our Champion against Popery now?
A27035Is this our satisfaction?
A27035Is this the same that the old Separatists did?
A27035Is this true?
A27035Is your Governed Church as such only Civil, or a Kingdom only?
A27035It is called Praefatio I. F. And can every Reader know that I. F. meaneth not John Fox?
A27035It is therefore the later that is all my Question, which is the Church- Head?
A27035It would be an odd argument to prove, that a woman had no power of choice in Marriage, because one was put to perswade her to consent?
A27035It''s not so old as Luther?
A27035Judge absolutely who shall be a Minister of Christ?
A27035Mans tradition before the ordinance of God?
A27035Many Nations may agree in the same Rules of Religion, yea, so all Christians do: Doth this constitute National Churches?
A27035May not the Nation withdraw such consent?
A27035Must all the people trust only such Pastors as the Prince or Patrons choose all over England?
A27035Must not I tell them that urge me, what sin I fear, least they say you represent us as such?
A27035Must not the people on that account disown them, by his way?
A27035Must they not judge when Forreigners heretofore were set over them, whether they speak English or no?
A27035Must we all be of the Kings or Patrons Religion?
A27035Must we believe that we agree, because you say so?
A27035Must we neither be silent nor speak?
A27035My Parlour hath on all four sides the pictures of our living friends: must I not pray in that room because my face will be still towards some of them?
A27035National body, and never distinguish any necessary parts of Faith, Government and Worship, from the rest, nor tell us how to know them?
A27035Next he answereth the Question, How all the Congregations in England make up this one Church?]
A27035Next p. 267. he comes to the point in question, whether they have the Pastoral Power of the Keys over their own Flocks?
A27035Now shall we fight for the Popes coat, his head and body being banished?
A27035Now the Question is, Of which sort is the National Church of England?
A27035O how great a difference have I found, from my youth to this day?
A27035Or constantly when no better can be had without greater hurt than benefit?
A27035Or doth he mean, This Diocesan Church?
A27035Or if he be a profest Infidel, Can he be a Christian Pastor?
A27035Or is not his citing one half of the words as he doth, to deceive his credulous Reader, if not worse?
A27035Or my Church- Covenant?
A27035Or my actual Communion?
A27035Or one Government of all the National Church?
A27035Or really whether any reject not some one forme, word or office?
A27035Or such as it is unlawful to communicate with occasionally?
A27035Or to receive those to Communion that scruple your Gesture?
A27035Or whether the Act of seeing be from the sun or the eye?
A27035Or why do you so reproach your Church and Ministry?
A27035Or would not such Princes chuse such Bishops?
A27035Ordinary Tradition saith it was Fox''s: And what should I sooner believe in such a case?
A27035Personal Faults I distinguished from Ministerial and tolerable Ministerial from intolerable, then and now: and is this Contradiction?
A27035Question, How comes it to be One National Church?
A27035Quid est Altare nisi sedes& corporis& sanguimis Christi?
A27035Read Mr. Dodwell and many such others that take the Church to be a Governed body Politick and see what they will judg of you?
A27035Reader, are we not in a hard strait between Wickliffe and Dr. Stillingflect?
A27035Reader, is not this true?
A27035Readers, do you remember how even now he exposed to odium, the peoples judging whether the Pastors be Hereticks?
A27035See Reader, whether any of this be true?
A27035See how well the defenders of Prelacy agree?
A27035Shall I abuse time to confute gross Contradictions?
A27035Shall he that will not be of the Society chuse for the Society?
A27035Should Glocesier take Goodman a Papist for their Bishop because the King chose him?
A27035That I own Associations which he makes the state of the Church of England?
A27035That I own Synods for obliging concord?
A27035That I own the Magistrates Government of all?
A27035That it is not lawful for you to joyn with us?
A27035That the Emperour deposed him not, but by a pack ● Council of Bishops( which we know had a deposing power?)
A27035That''s right: But what Government is it, Civil, or Ecclesiastical?
A27035The Independants much insist on this?
A27035The Laodicean Canon cited by him speaketh for me as the rest:( Did he think I wanted his help to cite more for my self?)
A27035The Parish Churches be no true Churches?
A27035The question is not whether more Churches are desirable?
A27035The question is still unanswered, What is the One common Governing power in the Church which this Parliament consent hath ● ● t up?
A27035The question is, whether that man will Communicate with the Church on Christs terms?
A27035The terms are sar harder to Ministers?
A27035The whole Nation did not consent by Parliament when the Lords and Commons voted down the Bishops and Liturgy: was there then no National Church?
A27035Then all the question is, what''s lawful on both sides?
A27035Then how great a deed of charity is it to bring an Army among them to baptize their Children by force?
A27035These be but circumstances: What if the Plague drive away the Parish Ministers?
A27035This Collection I feared; But how could I avoid it?
A27035This mans acts were no nullities to us that knew it not: but when we knew of such must we take them for true Pastors, and it for a true Church?
A27035This was before said[ that the people might give them power?
A27035Was an Arians Tyranny, a note of right?
A27035Was it not the material place of Communicn?
A27035Was it voluntarily which they were adjudged to do?
A27035Was your Churches Rule then made?
A27035What Husband the Wife?
A27035What Landlord may not the Tenants deny?
A27035What Master the Servants?
A27035What Parliament first made it?
A27035What Physician may they not vilisie?
A27035What a great Impertinency had this been,& c?
A27035What are the parts of their worship which he saith I joyn not in?
A27035What did he?
A27035What hope then of being understood?
A27035What if I had said so by you?
A27035What if I remove for my Edification from a drunkess ignorant Priest, to the Church of a wise and holy Pastor?
A27035What if it be in an unknown Tongue?
A27035What if it were not Immediate?
A27035What if the Church be but schismatical?
A27035What if the Church have no true Minister?
A27035What if the Church want half the Church- Worship?
A27035What if the Law should change, and allow of various Churches?
A27035What if the Worship be not Idolatrous, but Blasphemous, or utterly Ridiculous, tending to contempt of God?
A27035What if they impose any one sin on me without which they will not receive me to Communion?
A27035What if they put down all preaching save reading some dry Homilies, and all Discipline, is it not lawful elsewhere to serve God better?
A27035What if we agree in all Substantials with an unordained Layman imposed on us?
A27035What in the world is more abused than Reason and Freewill?
A27035What is the Medium?
A27035What is the Pastoral specifying form of the Church of England?
A27035What is the constancy that this Dr. maketh necessary to a member?
A27035What is this against the peoples right?
A27035What made you before talk of being under one Government?
A27035What meant all the ancient Churches to forbid Communion with Hereticks?
A27035What meant all those Fathers and Councils, that make him no Bishop that cometh not in with the peoples consent?
A27035What more natural than to propagate what men like, and oppose what they hate?
A27035What my Thoughts were?
A27035What shall one think could bring such a man to such a word?
A27035What the National Church of England is?
A27035What then would he be at?
A27035What was the Souldiers Sacramentum Militare more, from which the Church seems to have borrowed the name?
A27035What''s that to the general rule here asserted?
A27035What''s this to our question?
A27035What?
A27035When men differ in no part of Religion, they will not separate unless merely locally: Are all the things named in my first Plea, no parts of Religion?
A27035When prove you that I am only for occasional Communion when I have so long practised constant Communion with you?
A27035Where Usurpers deny the King''s Right, ought not the people to judge him to have right, because they may err?
A27035Whether all men that are more seriously religious must be forsaken by us, and ruined by them, if they be not of their mind and form?
A27035Whether an ordained Minister must be a private Member of another mans Church?
A27035Whether any man have authority to suspend this Law or Office?
A27035Whether he acquainted them with the Kings Licences, and our being accused of Schism, even when Licensed?
A27035Whether he acquainted them with what we have said for ourselves lately in divers Books; or they judg''d us unheard?
A27035Whether he be no Christian that is not a fixed Member of a particular Church?
A27035Whether he be no Christian, that is not a fixed Member of a particular Church?
A27035Whether he made them truly understand the difference between the ancient Episcopacy, and the English Diocesan frame in all its parts?
A27035Whether he made them understand that it was about 2000 Ministers that were silenced, and what men are in many of their places?
A27035Whether he made them understand that we are ipso facto excommuncate by their Canon for telling our judgment?
A27035Whether he made them understand what measure of Communion we still maintain with the Church of England and the Parish Churches?
A27035Whether he put the case as of denying active Communion in the practice of unlawful things; or as denying Communion in the rest which are lawful?
A27035Whether he put the case to them, whether we that have Communion with them are Schismaticks, if we also have Communion with others whom they prosecute?
A27035Whether he put the question to them, whether we are lawfully silenced?
A27035Whether he that sought their judgment did make them understand what all our present Impositions and Acts of Conformity are?
A27035Whether is the worse and more dangerous condition, to fall under the reproach of Schism, or to fall into Schism it self?
A27035Whether it be a duty to gather Churches or Preach publickly when it is like to do more hurt than good, by the Magistrates opposition?
A27035Whether the Excommunicating Church, or the Excommunicated for not Communicating when Excommunicated be guilty of Schism?
A27035Whether they be singular?
A27035Whether,[ How comes it?]
A27035Which did Paul mean?
A27035Which mean you by[ his] when they were two?
A27035Who but Physicians are fit to judge who is meet to be a Licensed Physician?
A27035Who doubteth that the People being not the sole judges, if they took in an un- Ordained or un- approved man without the Synods consent, it was void?
A27035Who would strive against so friendly a disputer, that goeth on to say the same as I?
A27035Why doth he accuse us for that which he dare not contradict?
A27035Why doth he silently balk the chief things which I had named?
A27035Why subscribe you against mens hopes of being saved in all their several Religions?
A27035Why then did you before put( agreement in Doctrine) among the requisites to our Accusation?
A27035Why then doth he himself elsewhere argue that there were Bishops then, because these Cities were Metropoles?
A27035Why then must not all Hereticks, Papists,& c. be received, why then are all your volumnious Accusations produced to prove us justly silenced?
A27035Why will he not be intreated to tell us in what Countries, or with what Limitations the contrary Doctrine must be received?
A27035Why, first is there a word of this that a sober Christian dare deny?
A27035Will freedom from Spiritual ▪ prayer honour your Church?
A27035Will he conclude that when ever History nameth not the Peoples choice, they are left out?
A27035Will he perswade us when the People are not the chusers, that they are not necessarily the consenters or refusers?
A27035Will he turn Papist if this be proved, and the Christian World be not deceived?
A27035Will this warrant a separation?
A27035Would it be any wonder if Bishop Goodman of Glocester kept not out any Popish Teacher?
A27035Would you have an undeniable Confutation, ad hominem, in few words?
A27035Yes, for deserting them both?
A27035You are mistaken?
A27035You are too unmerciful to your self; but what kind of Churches should there be upon your terms?
A27035[ Main] signifieth not[ Only:] who doubts but the People were to discern the Lives of chosen persons?
A27035[ Were we not Baptized into this Church, and do you not Renounce Membership?
A27035and Mr. Dodwels to prove us no Ministers of Christ, if we want nothing but a human power to impose us on the Churches, and a Patron to present us?
A27035and even some Popes and Councils to hear Mass of Fornicators?
A27035and how can we obey them?
A27035and how prove they their claim?
A27035and if not, whether rebus sic stantibus we are bound to forbear our Ministry?
A27035and should we Covenant never to endeavour an Alteration?
A27035and that their whole power of the Keys which they talk so much for, seems to themselves a dead and uneffectual thing?
A27035and to antiquity?
A27035and to the universal Church itself?
A27035and what Prince or Prelate may not the people judge Usurpers?
A27035and what alterations are made in the Church of England since the beginning of Bishop Lands power?
A27035and what claim their ancient Flocks lay to many of them; and what men they are, and what they did to prevent all our divisions?
A27035and why all their Churches ceased not when prohibited?
A27035and why did I constantly twice a day lead them thither, though some disliked it?
A27035and yet God invisible?
A27035and yet are not they visible?
A27035and yet is in the Creed?
A27035as Seneca thought Cato''s name would do more to honour Drunkenness, than Drunkenness could do to dishonour Cato?
A27035as to have Preaching and Prayer without Sacraments?
A27035but must take him for their Pastor be he what he will?
A27035but whether it must be visible?
A27035hath not this preposterous order a woe?
A27035how far is this from truth?
A27035is he therefore our true Pastor?
A27035must the King bear all the blame, if mens Souls be not provided for,& c?
A27035must we agree and not judge whether we agree or not?
A27035nor that can tell of others, and who is not?
A27035or also in Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, among Lutherans, Calvinists, Greeks,& c. supposing the Law be on that side?
A27035or can that be a true Pastoral Church that hath no Pastor?
A27035or deprive them of their right to all God''s Ordinances?
A27035or doth his bare repeating it disprove it?
A27035or how known when it began?
A27035or if a Socinian deny Christs Godhead or the i m ▪ mortality of the Soul, whether he be Competent or not?
A27035or if we falsly judge his opinion Heresie, do we agree with him?
A27035or invited yet to give our proofs?
A27035or is Representing no Representing?
A27035or is he none of the Church?
A27035or is he therefore not obliged by it?
A27035or is this the kind of Conformity that he would teach us, by denying what we subscribe to?
A27035or now as to Church- Papists?
A27035or only of living in Communion with them which do such things?
A27035or shall we believe the Doctor against the Church?
A27035or that my refusing a Physician is any wrong to his Licensers or him?
A27035or that the Christian World doth not commonly consent to?
A27035or that we may kneel before a Crucifix;) when I had before excepted the Images of God, Christ,& c. in worship, on several reasons?
A27035or whether his character of me agree with his motion to silence and ruine all such?
A27035or will you go on to follow them?
A27035shall brethren persecute brethren for a forked Cap, devised singularity of him that is our enemy?
A27035shall the Prince or Patron?
A27035shall the controversie so fall out in conclusion ▪ that for lack of necessary furniture( as it is esteemed) labourers shall lack wages?
A27035shall we not teach?
A27035the Doctor or me?
A27035what dependancy more doth he assert?
A27035what hope of Justice from such Judges?
A27035what if the Churches be burnt and the people forsaken?
A27035what if the King license them?
A27035what need Basil perswade them to accept him, when they had no power to refuse?
A27035whether you do not consequently so stigmatize the old Church of England, before Bishop Laud''s time?
A27035which Church do you mean?
A27035which is only levelled against Princes and Lay Patrons Impositions, and deposeth the English Clergy and Church?
A27035who shall judge whether the Pastors or People agree?
A27035whom they never knew, from being obliged by an Oath and Vow to that part of the matter which is good?
A27035why do you trust known Adversaries and mistrust your Brethren?
A27035why doth he barely say and not prove, that it''s but a pretence?
A27035why then did I use no publick preaching, while I lived in such Villages where the people might go to Church?
A27035why then do they argue as Mr. Dodwell?
A27035will excusing some things make others lawful?
A27035will this satisfie Conscience?
A27035would you be so disowned for your own faults?
A27035would you have a Synod called to reprove every rash word?
A27035yea and declare their own dissent, as most of the Nation did lately against Prelacy and Liturgy, yea and their chosen representatives?
A27035— Is here no more than judging their lives?
A27035〈 … 〉 forbear Canonical Excommunicating all professed Nonconformi ● … Land?
A26865( And is it a sign of covetousness, to dye for what they hold?)
A2686520. even when Rulers were against it?
A268653. Who knoweth not that such accusing inferences are usually brought by all factious, quarrel some Divines against their adversaries?
A268653. where mutual forbearances, and Receiving dissenters is commanded, against both Censurers and Despisers?
A268654. Who are those dozen men?
A26865A rare example; that a man should be known standing at a bar, shackled in bolts( but quaere quo jure?)
A26865Again I ask, Is there any Oath that you dare not take?
A26865And Conscience discerning duty to God, is it that is here to be orderly distinguished from Conscience discerning duty to man?
A26865And are all these Writings no evidence of their judgments?
A26865And are we like to win Souls on such terms as these?
A26865And are you sure you can go along with them in all as far as they will go?
A26865And being asked what God the Son was?
A26865And being asked what the Holy Ghost was?
A26865And can we speak louder than by the Press?
A26865And did not almost all the people of the Land Conform before the Wars?
A26865And did not the Papists so by the Reformers?
A26865And did we ever dream that no Sectary is moved by Pride to Nonconformity?
A26865And did you ever consider what a work it is to bring many thousands or hundreds of those in a Parish, unto solid understanding?
A26865And do you never give God thanks for his grace of Sanctification your selves?
A26865And do you not know what they will say and think of you upon such observations?
A26865And do you think it desirable to comply and embody with them in such a schism and factious combination against all the rest of the Churches of God?
A26865And doth he think that we get more now than a Bishoprick or Deanery would have amounted to?
A26865And doth not the prosecution of the Nonconformists tell it us?
A26865And doubtless some one must first Elect him to be a Bishop indeterminately?
A26865And either the unjust silencing of Ministers by the Usurpers, was well done, or ill done?
A26865And even in Doctrinals( which are more than Ceremonies) you know what a notorious difference there is among your selves?
A26865And from whom else would you save the people?
A26865And had it been otherwise, what were our thoughts to 2000 men that were absent?
A26865And have the people no sense, nor acquaintance with the persons?
A26865And here also I ask, Would you do so your selves?
A26865And how do these charges of a loose doctrine and great seeming sanctity, well agree?
A26865And how do your scruples engage you thus to break the Laws?
A26865And how have you cured all that ignorance of the people which you lament?
A26865And how knoweth he that it is but a shew?
A26865And how knoweth he that knoweth not hearts, that this is but seeming?
A26865And how shall we hear without a Preacher?
A26865And how shew we that we are Wolves?
A26865And how will these things appear in the review, when you shall stand in that more clear convincing light?
A26865And if all this be so, what is here left for Pride to work upon?
A26865And if deliberately you will venture on such a cause your selves, what would you wish the silenced Ministers to do?
A26865And if he may judg that there shall be no preaching, then why not that there shall be no praying and worshipping God?
A26865And if so in London, why not in other places?
A26865And in good sadness, doth not England know that( call them what you will) the Divines commissioned by the King did give their reasons against more?
A26865And indeed is not your Religion the same with ours?
A26865And indeed, is it because the Articles are not intelligible?
A26865And is it indeed to preserve your honour, that we must undergo all these convulsions?
A26865And is it not fine reasoning to say, If a man must be the discerner of his duty to God and the King, he can be no good subject?
A26865And is it not smattering ignorant half- wited Christians which your selves much complain of, and which make most of the trouble in the world?
A26865And is not all this yet enough?
A26865And is not both better than one?
A26865And is this casting them out of the Church?
A26865And is this kind of scandal, think you, which consisteth in tempting, ensnaring and damning men, regardable or not?
A26865And is this the happiest Unity that you might attain?
A26865And is this true?
A26865And it being no part of the old Conformity, how could this be put into their heads by me?
A26865And it is meet that the Colledg that can best judg, be the discerners who shall be a Licensed Physician?
A26865And might not you be as largely characterized as a stubborn unquiet people, as we are by you now?
A26865And must not our light so shine before men( though not for their applause), that they may see our good works, and glorifie God?
A26865And must such abundance be silenced for the opinions of a few, whom they never signified any consent to?
A26865And now, Reader, what a shake doth this instance give to the credit of History, at least such as is written by interessed factious men?
A26865And seeing we are accounted the Pharisees, Come on, and let us recite the Pharisees Character, and see who is likest him?
A26865And shall we incur all this guilt by ceasing for nothing, yea even now while we are licensed by the King?
A26865And shall we then be guilty of suppressing it at home?
A26865And then what Councellors, Judges and Justices shall he have?
A26865And then, what if three Bishops Consecrate one, and three another, and three another, over one Diocess?
A26865And we will not desire you to execute the Laws as seldom on us, as they are executed on them; which is not, I think, for one Oath of Twenty thousand?
A26865And were it not as easie then to declaim against your Disobedience and Nonconformity, as it is now for you to do it against ours?
A26865And what doeth renouncing the Covenant concern the people,& c?
A26865And what get we by so doing?
A26865And what if a child be uncrossed, when the Parents so desire it, or done by another when they desire it?
A26865And what if such principles and practices would make us guilty of the Perjury and impenitence of many hundred thousand persons?
A26865And what is it that those do who subscribe the same doctrine with you, to make other men heterodox?
A26865And what is one Minister in a Parish for the doing of all this work?
A26865And what is the credit for which their pride doth seduce them?
A26865And what is the matter of the Debaters Dialogues to any of this?
A26865And what is this to the case of the many hundred Nonconformable Ministers in England?
A26865And what now is the hurt that these Scripture primitive terms would bring?
A26865And what reason have we to maintain and breed up men to use us as he hath done in his late Treatise?
A26865And what stricter Laws would you have both for banishment and death, than is made here against the Romish Priests?
A26865And what will this come to at last?
A26865And what worse do the Separatists do by you, as to communion?
A26865And when he was asked what he thought would become of his soul?
A26865And which side hath the most serious, religious sort of persons?
A26865And who shall compensate the Kings damage?
A26865And why doth he now suffer so much obloquy and displeasure from the separating part of the Nonconformists, if it be reputation that he stuck upon?
A26865And why doth not a far stronger worldly interest more prevail with us?
A26865And why might not Crossing be under the like liberty?
A26865And why might they not now have more if they could conform?
A26865And why should any men use a means that will subvert, and will never attain his ends?
A26865And why then should not their Assemblies take the fittest time of the day as well as yours?
A26865And why?
A26865And will not the long experience of so great a Church, do something to convince you of your mistake?
A26865And will you prove wiser and better than the Apostles at the last?
A26865Are 1800 or 2000 men accusable upon the account of four mens secret thoughts?
A26865Are Presbyterians so intollerable a sort of people?
A26865Are all men so proud and void of humanity and love, that they must needs be factious if they do but differ in an opinion or ceremony from others?
A26865Are not the Laws in Power, and Judges to execute them against any that shall speak or do disloyally?
A26865Are not you and we agreed that God is the chief Ruler, and to be first obeyed, and no man against him, but only under him?
A26865Are such mouths fit to call others Fire- brands?
A26865Are the Conformists more Godly or Holy, than all the ignorant, drunken, unchast, voluptuous, carnal rabble, or are they not?
A26865Are the bishops absolute Judges, or not?
A26865Are the two or three that you named, the major part of Eighteen hundred?
A26865Are they all the Bishops of that Diocess?
A26865Are they any Bishops whatever, or some in special above the rest?
A26865Are they hot to one, and cold to another?
A26865Are they like to be better that shew no zeal?
A26865Are they not men of strange facinating power, that could make 1800 such Ministers( distant in all Counties) to deny Conformity?
A26865Are they therefore wholly disobliged as to each other?
A26865Are those that suffer, and do so much for that which they think to be the truth of Christ, well charged with hating Christ?
A26865Are we grown better and wiser now than the Churches all were for 600 years?
A26865Are we worse than petty thieves?
A26865Are you humble men, and teachers of humility?
A26865Are you penitent men, and Preachers of Repentance?
A26865Are you willing to run all that danger for us?
A26865Articles and the Book of Homilies?
A26865As I said already, who would have thought that enow should have escaped Queen Maries Bonefires to have planted a Protestant Church so soon?
A26865Ay, but what then must we hear and bear from such as you, when we wonder that any of you can doubt of the unlawfulness of what we refuse?
A26865B. Lauds life, and you would make it impossible?
A26865But 1. did he not know our advantage in Learning then was a great cause of the success of the Reformation in Luthers days?
A26865But I pray you forget not( for here it concerneth you esse memores) what a few contemptible people you think it is whose applause doth byas us?
A26865But are you sure that you mistake not, to the injury of the sufferers?
A26865But by what Act is this application?
A26865But how notoriously do bad means overthrow the ends of them that use them?
A26865But if you do, then there remaineth no more controversie, whether our Ministerial helps be needful?
A26865But if you do, why is there not need of the help of such as have more skill for such a work?
A26865But is it so in London now?
A26865But is this also the case of those that succeeded them?
A26865But it may be you will say, that the Nonconformists must be judged of, not by an odd person as your self is, but by the major part?
A26865But many of the Parish- churches are half empty?
A26865But must I forgive enemies, and not friends?
A26865But were no worse men suffered?
A26865But what divisions and heresies shall we have if all the people shall chuse their Pastors?
A26865But what escape is possible from such Accusers?
A26865But what excellent Preaching or Labours have you to boast of more than others, that your Preaching must be thought so necessary?
A26865But what if Perjury prove a greater sin, than not conforming to it?
A26865But what if it prove otherwise, and that we must be judged as sacrilegious for alienating consecrated persons from Gods work?
A26865But what if the Rulers be against it?
A26865But what is the dependance of our calling on the Bishops( supposing them of Gods appointment)?
A26865But what wonder if Conformity by Oaths, Subscriptions, Declarations and Covenants seem lawful to Doctors of such principles as these?
A26865But when all''s done, it is not meet that any one be forced on the sick without their own consent?
A26865But who are the second determing Electors?
A26865But who be these Consecrators?
A26865But who can you name that came out convinced that his way was wrong?
A26865But why do I ask you such a question, when your undertaking would but shew your greater obdurateness, and neither save us nor your selves?
A26865But why do you not go preach among the Indians, or in other lands where there is more need, if liberty of Preaching be all that you desire?
A26865But why is it not as much long of your selves as of us?
A26865But why must all others needs be of your judgment?
A26865But why will you not then subscribe and swear in the words of the Law, but in your own?
A26865But with what conscience do you come into Cities, Corporations, or within five miles of them, or of your former Preachingplaces?
A26865But you chide us because we perswade them not to conformity?
A26865But you''l ask, How came those Lay- men to scruples, whom I before mentioned, if not from Ministers?
A26865But, 1. can you not distinguish, and yet be just?
A26865But, 2. as long as we let others alone with their additions, why may they not live in peace with us, and let us alone without them?
A26865Can a man believe the great things of Heaven and Hell, and preach them without great seriousness and zeal, and not play the hypocrite?
A26865Can you endure these words of Hooker?
A26865Can you perswade all Popish Priests in England, that they depose the King?
A26865Can you think of two such instance; as Dioclesian and Charles the fifth, without admiration?
A26865Cry aloud, lift up thy voice like a trumpet?
A26865Did Grotius, did your Bishop Forbes, doth your Mr. Herbert Thorndike go upon such terms with them, or not?
A26865Did Peter Heylin, or Archbishop Laud and his adherents, if Heylin belie him not, deal with the Papists on such terms as these?
A26865Did he not preach against the Rulers will?
A26865Did it not shew that you had a mind of them?
A26865Did not the Heathens do thus also by the ancient Christians, when Sects swarmed among them, and deride and accuse them for their divisions?
A26865Did the difference mentioned by Heylin between Bishop Mountague and Wren, about coming up to the Altar to communicate, make any factions?
A26865Did they not baptize decently without the Cross?
A26865Did they not pray decently without a Surplice?
A26865Did they then want any needful uniformity?
A26865Did we make those Laws against our selves?
A26865Do not his subjects bodies and lives belong to his care?
A26865Do not the Parliament and Laws tell us how they are affected?
A26865Do not the people know that we differ from you in these things, as much when we are silenced, as when we preach?
A26865Do not we teach them the saving truth?
A26865Do the Pastors themselves no better know the Parish bounds, and the peoples wants, or the worth of souls?
A26865Do they not toto& nudato pectore taelum recipire& tantum non, with great Cameron unbutton them, and cry Feri miser?
A26865Do they print and publish their professed Religion to the World?
A26865Do we contend for our selves, or for Truth, and love, and unity, and peace?
A26865Do we justifie the secret thoughts of all Nonconformists, whom we know not?
A26865Do we persecute our selves?
A26865Do you help us by drawing the people from us to your selves?
A26865Do you judg of others by your selves?
A26865Do you know that there are any, or many among us, that live after the flesh, an ungodly, sensual, worldly life?
A26865Do you know your selves, and teach the people to know themselves?
A26865Do you not tell them that their arguments and exceptions are but the same that have been answered to their predecessors long ago?
A26865Do you not think that they are more, and more honourable persons, whom our conformity would have pleased?
A26865Do you think all these are in a good and safe condition?
A26865Do you think that men can not differ from your opinions, unless we put it into their heads?
A26865Do you think the bare name of a Christian and his Baptism, will save those thousands that know not what Christianity is?
A26865Do you think verily that all these were mistaken?
A26865Doth God bid you preach just here?
A26865Doth he not here much commend the charity of those that are for the Nonconformists, before he is aware, in comparison of others?
A26865Doth the difference now between your Arminians and Calvinists, which we ordinarily hear in your own Pulpits, make such Factions?
A26865Doth the different modes of Cathedral and Parish- worship, make such Factions?
A26865Else he might judg that men shall not be saved?
A26865Et quis illos in nomine Christi dixerit Congregatos, qui hac mente unitatem quaerunt Ecclesiae?
A26865For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him?
A26865For whatever you say of your self, you can not but know that it is so in London, and in many other places?
A26865For you to determine that they shall be damned if the Bishop will, and then come in with a second question, Who shall answer for it?
A26865Forgive me if I ask you, whether you dare appear before God with no better a Repentance?
A26865Had Paul a soft head, in having so soft a conscience in this point?
A26865Hath he talkt with the most of us?
A26865Hath not God forbidden Kings Idolatry, Perjury, Blasphemy, Murder, Tyranny, Oppression, Adultery,& c?
A26865Hath not a Nonconformists Conscience something of the command of Christ to countenance his practice?
A26865Hath your Ministry done that which maketh the help of others needless, yea or no?
A26865Have all other faults more suitable punishments, save only those of the Ministers of Christ?
A26865Have not the Friendly Debate, and the Politician fully and unanswerably opened the folly and villany of your Religion?
A26865Have the Nonconformists so often changed their cause, that you should be put to talk of so frequent change of Laws?
A26865Have these mens souls any need of teaching?
A26865Have you ever considered and regarded, whether the Apostles ever took your course?
A26865He may judg if it become a publick Controversie, whether God shall be worshipped?
A26865Herring, Mr. Barlow, and abundance more of the old Nonconformists?
A26865How came it into their heads to think ill of Bishops, and to scruple Ceremonies, and Corporation- Oaths, but by you?
A26865How common are the sins of Sodom throughout all the Land?
A26865How contemptible doth the Novel Ecclesiastical Politician, and the Debate- maker, among many others render us?
A26865How different are mens judgments of vice and virtue?
A26865How easily then may a Papist, or an Atheist shake off all Oaths of Allegiance or Supremacy, by adding one unlawful Particle?
A26865How else could this be noted as a difference?
A26865How knoweth this man what Mr. Calamy received?
A26865How long have they suffered, not only poverty and reproach, but that silencing which they account a greater evil?
A26865How many of the Ministers were ever cast out for drunkenness, fornication, deceit, swearing, perjury, or any loose living or immorality?
A26865How small a matter is that in comparison of the want of knowledg and faith, of grace and salvation?
A26865I answer, We shall be so far united, as that they will approve of all our Religion, though we approve not of all theirs?
A26865I crave your answer containg the proof of this?
A26865I know the common answer is,[ Who is that long of, but of themselves and you?]
A26865I was hungry, and ye fed me — I was in prison, and ye visited me?
A26865If all are none of Christs, that have not his spirit, may not they give God thanks for it that have received it?
A26865If all the Decrees of General Councils were imposed on all men to be subscribed, would not thousands be Nonconformists that are now conformable?
A26865If any one thing or word which you judge unlawful to be done or subscribed, were put on you by a Law, would not you then be the Nonconformists?
A26865If any, then any wicked Bishops may make more, and undo the Church?
A26865If but few, is not Preferment rather to be got from many than from few?
A26865If it be cured, that argument for the necessity of your Preaching is gone?
A26865If it be in the Bishops power to judg that nine parts of London shall have no preaching, why may he not so judg of the other tenth part?
A26865If it have not, why should you hate assistance, or think that help will do no good?
A26865If not, let us be put in the stocks and whipt, as Paul and Silas were ▪ so we may but preach Christs Gospel?
A26865If not, punish us no worse than they are punished?
A26865If not, what Preachers, what Christians, what Men are these?
A26865If not, what are the limits of their power?
A26865If not, why do they take it for a wrong to hear of much less?
A26865If not, why should it make a Faction for one man to cross a child in Baptism, and another not?
A26865If not, why should they be angry with others for thinking of them, as they think of themselves?
A26865If not, you are strangers to the Land which you inhabit?
A26865If the bare different opinion and practice make them undervalue you, will not they think worse of you when they think you do worse?
A26865If the publick Ministers Preaching will not do it, why should yours?
A26865If the question was, Whether the owner or the Bees must be accused of the crime?
A26865If they are not cured, how can you yet think to cure them?
A26865If they are( as I doubt not but very many are), do they so esteem themselves, or not?
A26865If they do, what matter of fact can ever be so notorious, as that we can hope that such men can know it?
A26865If they have eaten sowr grapes, why must our teeth be set on edge?
A26865If yea, give over Preaching against them: If not, do not better men differ from them?
A26865If yea, you tell the world what your Religion is?
A26865If you be tollerated, why not all others as well as you?
A26865If you do, how shall a man know that you are not as very Hypocrites in so doing, as the Nonconformists?
A26865If you say, What be those means?
A26865If you should turn your charge upon the Sectaries, who hath written more against the Antinomian loose opinions, than the Nonconformists have done?
A26865If you think otherwise, why distinguish you the Sons of the Church from others?
A26865If you thought it were Lying, Perjury and false Worship which was imposed on you, would you change your judgment, by threatnings or by punishments?
A26865In good sadness would you have men have a judgment of private discerning, or not?
A26865Is Christianity so vile a thing?
A26865Is he saulty that robs your child of his hat, or book, or victuals?
A26865Is it a crime to rent your clothes, and is it none to rend your flesh?
A26865Is it a crime to steal the feathers, and none to steal the goose?
A26865Is it by Election?
A26865Is it justice to charge men with seditious Preaching that never were accused or convict of any such Doctrine before any competent Judg?
A26865Is it likely that he knoweth what he saith to be true?
A26865Is it not Words that you require as satisfactions in your Subscriptions and Oaths?
A26865Is it only Nonconformists?
A26865Is not every man as much concerned for his own soul, more than the King is, or any other, as he is for his health or life?
A26865Is not every mans free ▪ will as much and more to be exercised for his salvation as for his health?
A26865Is that foolish and seditious?
A26865Is their fearing an Oath a greater sin than prophane swearing?
A26865Is there a necessity laid on ordinary Pastors also, or not?
A26865Is there any sin much greater than that which he listeth himself a defender and practiser of?
A26865Is there any thing in the world, that you think unlawful?
A26865Is this flaming- hot Disputer so much better acquainted with us, than we are with our selves and one another?
A26865Is this long of us too?
A26865Is this the Justice of Sacred Clergy- men?
A26865It is a fine world when it is become a controversie, Whether that which so many thousands in three Kingdoms hear and see be true?
A26865It is obedience that beseemeth tender consciences: Disobedience is as the sin of witchcraft; And would you have any countenance you in so great a sin?
A26865It''s true( except Mr. Fisher and some few) they were not ejected, but enjoyed their places; And did not you as well as they?
A26865Judg but by your own experience: Do you not see that the people are yet ignorant and uncured?
A26865Let the world judge whether his testimony then of that party be not more credible than his that so little knoweth them?
A26865May they not take it for a greater mercy than all the riches of the World?
A26865Mr. Durel did you ever know either me or the man you speak of that was cast out, or ever hear or see the articles against him?
A26865Must all that differ in a ceremony from you, be silenced and hunted about the world, lest the people should think worse of you than of them?
A26865Must the Laws be changed as oft as tender heads will scruple?
A26865Nor whether to be drunk or sober?
A26865Nor whether we shall give food to him that is dying through famine?
A26865Nor whether we shall seek to save mens lives from fire or water, or other dangers?
A26865Nullane perjuri capitis, fraudisque nefandae Poena erit?
A26865O hear these expostulations of miserable Souls, before you are speechless under the Expostulations of the tender Saviour of Souls?
A26865O that he would name those many, and let us try the case?
A26865O the candor and impartiality of this age?
A26865O who should not fear what his soul may be seduced to think and say?
A26865Of all the silenced Ministers, or some?
A26865On the Bishops first Ordination?
A26865Or are we worse than drunkards, or fornicators?
A26865Or can any be ignorant that it is not so?
A26865Or can we believe that he believeth himself?
A26865Or doth it follow that Christian Rulers may not silence Ministers, because they might not?
A26865Or for the Order and Circumstances of operation?
A26865Or is it because we perswade the people to hear them( if they are but tollerable men?)
A26865Or is it because we rebuke those that vilifie them?
A26865Or on his continued Will?
A26865Or put us in the House of Correction, and use us as the Israelites were used in Egypt, rather than forbid us to labour to save the peoples Souls?
A26865Or that the Diocesan- Ministers, supprest by Cromwell, should revive to the strength that they were in, within three years after his death?
A26865Or that the desolations, which for the Interim were made among the German Ministers, should so soon be repaired?
A26865Or to steal a tile, or pick a lock, and not to burn the house?
A26865Or when a man is conscious what God forbiddeth, he may do it if man command it?
A26865Or will they forget all the difference, think you, when we are out of sight?
A26865Paul spake this of himself; but was it of himself only as extraordinarily called?
A26865Pierce but retort it on him unthankfully to his reproach, as holding too loose a doctrine?
A26865Query, Whether they were a Liturgy or not?
A26865Quid loquar de exercitio suae jurisdictionis?
A26865Quis dabit mihi homines literatos& sanctos in ecclesiis Dei praeesse Pastores, sin non in omnibus, certe in pluribus, certe in aliquibus saltem?
A26865Quisnam hominum est quem contentum videris uno Flagitio?
A26865Reader, is this the Religion taught by St. Paul?
A26865Shall Clergy- men provoke Magistrates to make such Laws as he calleth smart, and then make our sufferings to be one of our methods?
A26865Shall not the soul that sinneth dye?
A26865Shall the Physician deny his Patient that Physick which his stomack can take, because it was long of himself that he can take no other?
A26865Shall we believe his Sermons, or his profession and practice?
A26865Speak out, Do you think us or the Papists nearer to you?
A26865Suppose it be long of themselves, must their souls be therefore cruelly forsaken?
A26865Suppose that one thing were by a Law imposed on you: would you think that a change of that Law would be a dangerous thing?
A26865Suppose that one thing were imposed on you?
A26865Sure the Spirit of God foresaw what would be said against Preaching in our times; was not Timothy ordained by man?
A26865Tam ferreus ut teneat se?
A26865That it is the Bishops will that they shall rather be all damned in their ignorance and sin, than taught, converted, and saved by Nonconformists?
A26865The Churches will not hold the tenth person in the Parish; and how few Churches near* are standing?
A26865The Explication of the Nonconformists sense of it, you have much in the Assemblies Catechisms and Confession?
A26865The great question therefore, Whether none are converted but by special effectual grace?
A26865The next question then is, Whether it will make them hypocrites, and force them to go against their judgments?
A26865The question therefore is, Whose lives do most contradict their profession?
A26865The same I say of Covenants of Peace between several Princes?
A26865There is no hindering it; God will have it so, and who can gainsay him?
A26865These that you talk of were Infidel or Heathen Rulers; and will you compare our with them?
A26865This is my disease, or else what need I come to Church for cure?
A26865This may be something for your conference with them family by family; but what is it for your preaching unto Congregations?
A26865To speak to many when they can have time to hear, and to speak also to single persons when we can?
A26865To think and speak well or ill?
A26865We grant that all have need enough of Teaching: But what can your teaching do more than other mens?
A26865We were just now accused by him and another, about our deliberate refusing of Church Dignities?
A26865Were he innocent that would scourge men, women and children till they bleed, and then call out for Justice against the felons that cryed?
A26865Were not almost all the Westminster- Assembly Espiscopal conformable men, when they came thither?
A26865Were not those few sons liker to get Livings, if their fathers got favour by conforming?
A26865What History of such Writers can deserve any credit?
A26865What Nonconformist hath not groaned for our divisions, and been indeed aweary of them from the first day, and longed for our common Concord?
A26865What a case are we in with such men as these, when we must needs be proud whether we accept or refufe?
A26865What a stink hath the name of David Seton in Scotland, of Bonner of London, and Gardiner Bishop of Winchester, left behind?
A26865What are the Cups, and Fonts, and Tables for,( do they praise the glorious mystery of Redemption?)
A26865What are the Houses for, but for the convenient habitation of the Pastors?
A26865What are the Lands and Tythes for, but for their maintenance while they do the work of God?
A26865What are the Temples for, but to be the convenient places of their and the peoples worshipping of God?
A26865What are they to them?
A26865What are you then, that with your tribunals and jurisdictions would be Lords and Rulers over Christs inheritance?
A26865What changes doth Thorndike plead for?
A26865What confusion is this?
A26865What could a Separatist have said more of you?
A26865What doth he mean by talking against sin?
A26865What enemy have you so much need your selves to resist, and to be saved from, as from your selves?
A26865What false Religion do they contain?
A26865What good doth subscribing a sentence which he believeth not, do either to the soul of the lyar himself, or to the Church?
A26865What if a Popish Prince or People, put an unlawful clause into their Covenants?
A26865What if the Law imposed one word on you which you could not conform to, and you differed from the Church in nothing else?
A26865What if you kept all that Wisdom to your selves, in which you excel the Apostles, and put no more upon the Churches than they did?
A26865What if you required no Subscription to any thing as certain truth, but only to the infallible Oracles of the Spirit?
A26865What if you required no more Oaths of obedience to the Bishops, than the Apostles required to themselves, or to any Pastors of the Church?
A26865What if you would learn of the Holy Ghost to impose no other than Necessary things?
A26865What is this to all the rest?
A26865What more common with them, than to say, All these Sects swarm out from you?
A26865What more than Words is it that you would have?
A26865What of all this have you to charge on those forenamed?
A26865What say you?
A26865What scorn or derision does Bishop Reignolds now undergo, or many of your Doctors, who some were, and some reputed formerly of our mind?
A26865What then can we expect from others?
A26865What would follow on the other side, if all men must have Physicians forced on them?
A26865What would you have more than Words, and that mens Estates and Lives be answerable for their offences?
A26865When they and you thank God for the same mercy, how shall we know but by the fruits, which of you is sincere?
A26865When was it then that we were in Power?
A26865Where find they in Scripture a Bishop made, that was not made the Bishop of a particular Church?
A26865Where have I lived?
A26865Whether Princes may silence us?
A26865Whether he do well to mention our refusing of Bishopricks at all, which we our selves so studiously silence?
A26865Whether the King is not as truly the Governour of his subjects as to their lives, as he is as to their Salvation?
A26865Whether this be a good proof that it was not Conscience, but Interest that these men stuck upon?
A26865Which doth the world among us take for the plainer dealers?
A26865Which side are the generality of the Blasphemers, Whoremongers, Drunkards, and Debauched persons on?
A26865Which side hath( generally) the strictest followers?
A26865Who can repent of hating and destroying so odious a sort of hypocrites as he describeth?
A26865Who cry out against Sects so much as the Papists?
A26865Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
A26865Who that is able would not rather with Paul get their bread by some labour, than fordidly live on a barren and backward sort of charity?
A26865Who will defend such a monster in War against his enemies, when no enemy can bring them into greater slavery?
A26865Who will set the bryars and thorns against him in battel?
A26865Whom do you speak this of?
A26865Whom is it that we cry up for Saints?
A26865Why are we censured for preaching against mens sins, if we are flatterers?
A26865Why are you not more tender of offending and disobeying your Governours?
A26865Why did you demur so long before you refused Preferments?
A26865Why did you never charge us with errors in Doctrine?
A26865Why do the people make such a difference between conformable Preachers as they do?
A26865Why do they honour and crowd after one, and slight another?
A26865Why do they not do the rest?
A26865Why do you not go preach among the Indians?
A26865Why do your party tell him that he is more calumniated by the Nonconformists, than by any others?
A26865Why must our Souls be left to damnation, because our Teachers think that a sin, which you think you your selves have made a duty?
A26865Why not all tolerated as well as you, and so let in Popery?
A26865Why then do we so much desire to be out of this state, and to take up with reformed Parish- interest?
A26865Why wrote you not to prove them to be another Religion?
A26865Will ever Church on Earth have Concord on these terms?
A26865Will he not go through them, and burn them up together?
A26865Will imprisonment or banishment make us agreed, or make the people think we are agreed?
A26865Will no experience teach you such easie and obvious things?
A26865Will not all sober by- standers think that we have very hard measure, and have to do with a strange generation?
A26865Will not even strangers from such words suspect that our adversaries own not, or have not at least so much as such a seeming sanctity of carriage?
A26865Will not the Salvation or damnation be his own?
A26865Will they not distast a Conformable man, whom they judg an envious persecutor, more than a Conformable man whom they judg a meek and loving man?
A26865Will you do nothing to help the people to Heaven, but that which is lyable to no abuse, or inconvenience?
A26865Will you give us leave openly to tell the people where our controversie lyeth?
A26865Will you say, Eat this or famish, it is long of your selves?
A26865Will you therefore think you are discharged from Preaching?
A26865Would he have us not so much as seem holy( and so not seem Christians) that we may escape such censures?
A26865Would it not be a greater prey for covetousness for both Father and Son by conforming to have Livings, than for the Son alone?
A26865Would the inconveniences of this weigh down the mischiefs which are now upon the Churches throughout the world by the contrary course?
A26865Would you do that which you think to be Lying, Perjury, renouncing Reformation,& c. against your consciences, rather than suffer?
A26865Would you have taken the rescinding of all these Laws for a dangerous change?
A26865Would you not say that a difference should be made?
A26865Yea, for 1800 Ministers to have Livings, than 40 or 50 of their sons alone?
A26865Yea, how many new Doctrines hath Mr. Thorndike published, and yet his Ministry is tollerable?
A26865Yea, those that declared themselves to be against it?
A26865Yet here you may as handsomely exclaim, What?
A26865You think so highly of your selves, as if men can not be saved unless they be taught by you?
A26865You think we should grant you leave to Preach; but what leave did you give us when you were in power?
A26865and as guilty of the blood of all those souls that have perished by our silence and neglect?
A26865and can you yet for shame desire leave to preach and propagate such a Religion as that?
A26865and encourage the people in their Separations?
A26865and how contrary is it to the rest of their Accusations?
A26865and how unhappy will they find themselves at last?
A26865and if all the rest conformed too?
A26865and is he innocent that killeth him, or that robs you of your child?
A26865and is not the exception a prophane scorn of Christ?
A26865and is this so necessary a thing?
A26865and see also whether they are a considerable number?
A26865and so whether there shall be any Gospel, Religion, or Salvation?
A26865and so, whether there shall be a Ministry?
A26865and that consequently this is the chief reason that 1800 men subscribed not?
A26865and whether the Churches Lights be not put under a bushel?
A26865and whether they are snuffed or put out?
A26865and which party for the more smooth and toothless Preachers?
A26865and why doth he not name them, and prove his charge?
A26865and will you measure and denominate the Religion of the Nonconformists ▪ by two or three mens Writings( against which also you have no more to say)?
A26865and would you exclaim against it as now you do?
A26865and yet who in all the world more cause them, even by the manifold Laws by which they pretend to cure them?
A26865any thing that in Gods worship you durst not use?
A26865any thing that you dare not subscribe to and declare?
A26865chaste or unchaste?
A26865how many sins of theirs and ours have had a hand in this calamity?
A26865nor friends from foes?
A26865nor their sufferings neither?
A26865of most, or few?
A26865or any also by that which in its own nature is meerly sufficient, and made effectual by mans will?
A26865or by another Consecration?
A26865or for the first 300 either?
A26865or have the most ever said or written, that it is only the Covenant that we stick at?
A26865or have they contrary meanings to fit the use of every subscriber?
A26865or how?
A26865or on Mr. John Ball, Mr. John Paget, Mr. Langley,& c. or on Dr. Twisse, Dr. Arrowsmith, and the rest of that Assembly?
A26865or so many as is necessary to mens Salvation?
A26865or that they can endure to see none live at liberty out of Gaols, that be not in all such things of their mind?
A26865or that they can not live in love and peace with any that differ from them in an opinion or ceremony?
A26865or those be of your way that are not of your judgment?
A26865or those that live in enmity, contempt or neglect of the Laws of Christ?
A26865or what Religion we should be of, Christians or Infidels?
A26865or what get they by it?
A26865or what to preach on?
A26865or which?
A26865or would you not?
A26865quando recepit Ejectum semel attrita de fronte ruborem?
A26865shall every woman, every boy, every sottish rustick and tradesman, have liberty to put his life into the hands of women or foolish Empericks?
A26865that so many thousand Souls must pay so dear, for a few mens experience?
A26865then men must not discern whether to preach or be silent?
A26865what answer would you give to such an Objection as this, which equally excludeth Chillingworth and Knot?
A26865what murdering of men by medicine shall we then have?
A26865what not the innocent from the guilty?
A26865where are any more against Bishops and Conformity than your hearers?
A26865whether God should be honoured or blasphemed?
A26865whether Ministers shall preach in his Dominions?
A26865whether he may be blasphemed?
A26865whether the Scripture be Gods word?
A26865whether there be a life to come?
A26865who having proposed this doubt, Why did many of them deliberate so long whether they should accept of Dignities in the Church?
A26865would this answer seem wise and honest to your selves, if you did but see the things you hear of?
A26865would you Conform to it or not?
A26865yea a sin meet for none but utterly debauched Consciences, and such as threatneth dreadful ruine?
A26865yea what a reproach to humane nature?
A26865yea, and do to this day?
A26865yea, or can we expect that God should bless our labours, when we offer him Lying, Perjury,& c. for a sacrifice, and so blaspheme him?
A26865yea, or his poor Curate, if he have one( as few have) for his help?
A25216& c.( What?
A25216( As if I were bound to be a Minister only till other Men will Sin ▪) And where can the Wit of Man ever set Bounds as to this Matter?
A25216( If not, are such fit to be Ministers of Christ?)
A25216( Now, how many of the Dissenters frequently communicate with them, while they generally refuse, shun, and condemn our Assemblies?)
A25216( Whether such will preach for, or against it?)
A25216( and whether it be safe for them to do so?)
A25216( for how shall they believe, unless they hear?
A2521614. about Meats and Days,& c.) whether it may not be a far greater Sin, and Schism in the Silencers, than in them?
A2521628?
A252163. that the Governours of the Church must not Lord it over God ● s Heritage?
A2521662. yielding these to be at the Magisnates dispose?
A25216Again, Whether was our private Meeting at that time a sinful Conventicle, when the far greater part of the Parish was with him at Church?
A25216All the Question here is, Whether there be not Schism in it?
A25216And a little before it, what hath he commanded her to do?
A25216And are not even Mystical Ri ● s and Ceremonies of God''s Institution within that Command?
A25216And are not such so far cut off from the Communion of that Church, by what he says in the beginning of that Page?
A25216And are such Discourses, as those in the Supplement to the morning Exercise, of no use?
A25216And are there not some Parishes, that have only Deacons to officiate?
A25216And can those Auditors be no Congregation?
A25216And can you make the World believe, that they suffered for Conformity?
A25216And can you now assure us, that you shall not alter your present Judgment once again within twenty Years?
A25216And can you say, they are sufficient?
A25216And consequently, whether we are not obliged to the exercise of our Ministry, as we may have opportunity?
A25216And did I not acknowledg, again and again there, that the Primitive and Reformed Churches were two of your Iudges?
A25216And did Misprision, or long Vse make such a fell adoe in their Hearts also, as to blind their Consciences in this Cause?
A25216And did not the Martyrs in Queen Mary''s Days suffer in one and the same Cause, whether Conformists, or Non- conformists?
A25216And did not the present Non- conformists follow them herein?
A25216And do they not hereby fortify the Peoples Souls against receiving converting, or edifying Instruction by such accused Ministers?
A25216And do they not owe as much Service herein( for Christ''s sake) towards their own Country- men, as towards Strangers?
A25216And do they not take some Sins to be Duties, or no Sins?
A25216And do you not own those Lutheran Churches, that have Exorcism with Baptism, yet to be true Churches?
A25216And does not Bishop Downham say, It forbiddeth all Will- Worship and Superstition, whereby Men worship God according to their own Inventions?
A25216And does that Man truly know what it is to be a Minister, or a Christian, that perceives not a necessity of Help, if he can have it?
A25216And doth his Christianity enable him to do more Hurt than a Pagan may do, or more Good?
A25216And doth not Ignatius expresly make one Altar, and one Bishop with Presbyters and Deacons, to be the Note of a Churche''s Unity and Individuation?
A25216And hath he now deserved this at your hands, to have them all thrown down in his ● ace, and to be thus upbraided with his former Kindness?
A25216And have you repented of that your former Kindness and Tenderness towards them, since the Laws were against them?
A25216And how cometh the Orthodox to be authorized to do Mischief, or to forbid the needful preaching of the Gospel, any more than an Heretick?
A25216And how doth the Church consist of Homogeneal Parts?)
A25216And how shall they hear without a Preacher?)
A25216And if all must not lay down their Ministry, why must a 1000 or 2000 do it rather than all the rest?
A25216And if there be the same Cause and Need, whether it be any more Schism to do it against the Laws and Will of a Christian Prince?
A25216And if you had a Kindness, and Pity for Dissenters, is there not the same Reason for it still?
A25216And if you should tell them our Service- book is reformed; it is possible, some may now reply, How can you say so?
A25216And is Twelve Pence a Week no burden to those, that with hard Labour have much ado to maintain their Families, can scarce clear Twelve Pence per Week?
A25216And is it not as strange, that he should be for silencing such a one( as of Scismatical Principles?)
A25216And is not difference in many points of Doctrine as great a difference, as using and not using some of the Liturgick Forms and Ceremonies?
A25216And is not that very agreeable to the Christian- temper?
A25216And is not this to bind heavy Burthens upon Men''s Shoulders, and to make more Sins than are found to be so in God''s Law?
A25216And is not this very Iuncture of Time as good an Occasion, as ever you may have to shew it?
A25216And is that reasonable?
A25216And is this Truth?
A25216And m ● y it not justify those Non- conformist Ministers, that 〈 … 〉 from the Parochial Congregations?
A25216And may I not be bold to tell you, that you can never prove your Deacons the same with those in the Churches erected by the Apostles?
A25216And may I not say, that this is answering but by Halves?
A25216And may not People very well be startled with what Christ saith concerning such?
A25216And may we not query the same of the new Form of a Diocesan Church?
A25216And may we think, that any that come after him, or to whom he wrote, should have power to contradict or obliterate the same?
A25216And might not so much have been expected from them, as they would profess themselves to be for Vnity and Peace?
A25216And might not the Admonishers have received such into their Communion, whom the other had unjustly cast out?
A25216And much more, may not the same Catholick Church hold Conformists, and Protestant Dissenters?
A25216And must we not then ask leave of Rulers, that Christ may be Christ, and Souls may be saved;( as if the Keys of Heaven and Hell were theirs?)
A25216And otherwise doth it not follow, that it is at the Will of a Man, whether Souls shall be saved or damned?
A25216And take no notice of that, How easie is it( as he says) in England to bring the Puritans into Order, if they be forced to approve of Bishops?
A25216And the Lectures in the morning Exercise against Popery, of no use?
A25216And then must he not forbid such Imposition as is inconsistent herewith?
A25216And then why have you so many words of such being no good Christians, because Members of no Church?
A25216And then will it not follow, that People should not hear them?
A25216And then, whether pleading for Abatements at this day be not as seasonable?
A25216And though they think, that Christ giveth them Power to do thus; yet whether their Error will make them guiltless?
A25216And till the same be proved, whether are any bound to obey them, at least when they over- rule Christ''s own Institutions?
A25216And to whom shall we present the Bishop for not coming to Church, or for his Crimes?
A25216And were not this an easy way to introduce any Error, by forbidding any but the Defenders of it to Preach?
A25216And were there not true Churches in England in that long Interval of Episcopal Government?
A25216And were they for our English Ceremonies?
A25216And what Assurance can you give us, that we shall see an End of them, that they will never appoint more?
A25216And what harm is there in the Non- conformists preaching, where the tenth Person can not come to Church, if they would?
A25216And what if Church- Governours forbad the Use of such Ceremonies?
A25216And what if a Dutch Church was in your Parish?
A25216And what may others say now of your Icenicum?
A25216And what will you say to them, who can not believe, but they are made necessary?
A25216And when his Judgment may be, that submission to such Determination of Men, would be real Disobedience and acting contrary to the Will of God?
A25216And where Men should be forced to damn their Souls by sinning against their Consciences, would not this be directly repugnant?
A25216And where he hath determined the matter himself, what have Men to do more, than to submit to his Determination?
A25216And where will you fix, as to the use of them?
A25216And whether Men may make Laws about Religion, enjoyning such an evil use of such things?
A25216And whether Pastors of the Churches should be constrained to administer Sacraments to any against their Consciences?
A25216And whether all that think not themselves wiser, should not confess that at least it is safe to follow it?
A25216And whether any Man can be the Pastor of a Church de jure, or truly de facto, against the Church, or Peoples Will, or without their Consent?
A25216And whether any Man should be cut off from the Church, or taken as separated, that breaketh no Law of God, necessary to Church- Unity and Communion?
A25216And whether any mortal Man hath Power to abrogate these Terms of Church- union and Concord which Christ hath made?
A25216And whether are not Ministers specially obliged to do it( by their Calling) as Ministers of Christ, thereto devoted?
A25216And whether did the ejecting them from the Temples and Tithes degrade them, or make them no Pastors to their Flocks?
A25216And whether have not some Faithful Men more than others?
A25216And whether if the poor were famishing about us, any Law of Mans can disoblige us from relieving them?
A25216And whether is there not need of a far greater number of Assistants, than all the present Non- conformists?
A25216And whether it be not as certain, that Force will never do it?
A25216And whether it be not as impossible to bring them all to conform to that which they judg unlawful?
A25216And whether it be not certain, that the first will never do it?
A25216And whether it ever had Union upon such additional Terms of new Professions, Subscriptions and Oaths, as most Churches now impose ▪ and require?
A25216And whether many Councils do not forbid hearing Hereticks?
A25216And whether must they obey such a prohibition, as such?
A25216And whether overdoing Terms of Church- Union and Concord be not the certainest Engines of Schism?
A25216And whether such remain not under a Divine Obligation, which Man''s Law can not dissolve?
A25216And whether the Souls of such, as some call humorous, peevish, or wilful, be not worth more than some of that they call their Liberty?
A25216And whether the only thing pretended for our present Paucity be not the want of Maintenance( with the want of worthy Men?)
A25216And whether the taking of a narrower compass, be not a fundamental Error in its Policy, and will not always hinder its stability and increase?
A25216And whether this imply not an Accusation against him, and his Institutions?
A25216And whether those Terms that would have divided the Church, are fit means to unite it?
A25216And whether we may not suppose, that Satan is afraid of their Ministry who hath stirred up so much Opposition against it?
A25216And whether would there be need of the best Conformists, as Ministers, if the People had no Faults, or Weaknesses?
A25216And which way did you wind and turn your self, to get off from those Arguments?
A25216And who gave them Authority?
A25216And who then can say, what those Untruths and Sins are, which a weak and erring Ministry may be guilty of, which shall serve to disoblige the rest?
A25216And whose Conscience should sooner accuse him of Schism?
A25216And whose Laws be they, that would so bind?
A25216And will you be for that peaceable Design, for going as near to Rome as you can, without Sin?
A25216And would you have Servants th ● pol ● ● d too?
A25216And yet how obvious is it, that this is quite over- looked here, not once seriously debated in any of these three Letters?
A25216And yet is it now a loose Principle?
A25216And yet on the other hand, would you have them conform to you, though against their Consciences?
A25216And, whether do they consult the Churches Peace and Vnity, who suspend it upon such things,( as you know what?)
A25216Are all professed Christians absolutely boun ● in their Places to endeavour the same, by their Vow in Baptism, and their very Profession?
A25216Are not Christ''s Laws equally obligatory?
A25216Are not Souls equally precious?
A25216Are not his Words recorded here, part of Christ''s Law indited by the Spirit?
A25216Are not these things invidiously spoken?
A25216Are there no Non- conformists, that use to hear you, when they have Opportunity?
A25216Are there no fitter means than silencing, to correct such Ministers?
A25216Are there no true Churches to be found in the World, that have no Bishops( of a superior order over Pastors?)
A25216Are they the greatest Separatists, who hold Communion with you, so far as they can?
A25216Are you Impartial?
A25216Are you for altering what was setled in so great Wisdom, by Men of so great Integrity, such indefatigable Industry, such profound Iudgment?
A25216Are you impartial in the Account you give of the Reformation in King Edward 6 and Q. Elizabeth''s Raign?
A25216Are you in good earnest?
A25216Because I suppose, you will be ready to object here, How is it possible for Order to be kept up, if People may run after what Teachers they please?
A25216But after all this, wherein is it that he hath thus contradicted himself?
A25216But do you your self be ● ● ● ve, that the old Non- conformists thought it unlawful for them to preach at a ●, when silenced?
A25216But here, do not in Effect charge them, with not using the best means for a right Information?
A25216But is it not for Moderation in such Cases, wherein Moderation ought to be shewn?
A25216But is it so, that we have quite lost you?
A25216But is there here no sharp Reflection?
A25216But then, had you not pleaded as much for Dissenters, as here you plead against them?
A25216But were we not true Ministers before?
A25216But what have you further to say to me?
A25216But what say you to this?
A25216But will it not follow from his own Words, That Christian Charity obliges you to bear with ou ● Non- conformity, yet you will not bear with us?
A25216But will not this equally hold against our Church, if it excommunicates those who can not conform?
A25216But would you not lead us here into a Maze, a Labyrinth, without any Clew to guide us out?
A25216By a Parity of Reason, may not other foreign Churches be denied to have Communion with the Church of England?
A25216Can no Christian ever justify his omitting any possible lawful Means for the Advancement of his Religion?
A25216Can not the Worship of God be performed decently, and in ord ● r without them?
A25216Can this be a safe and sure Rule?
A25216Can you assign any just and sufficient Cause ex Natura rei, why such a way of Worship should not be allowed?
A25216Can you ever find all these Officers, Arch- Bishops; Lord- Bishops, Deans, Chancellors,& c ▪ down to Apparitors, in the Primitive Church?
A25216Can you ever prove, that there are no Officers, Laws, Rules and Orders in your Church, different from what were in the true Primitive Church?
A25216Can you find any such Separatists amongst those, who y ● t remain firmly united to you in the Confession of the same Faith?
A25216Can you find no more in the Affirmative part of it, than a Command to worship God without an Image?
A25216Could the French, and Belgick Churches assent to the Ius divinum of Episcopacy?
A25216Could you then possibly mean, that such Ceremonies, and Matter of Order and Decency were all one?
A25216Cr ● dock?
A25216Did not the Apostle speak here by Divine Authority?
A25216Did the Reformation lie in those things wherein Dissenters differ from you?
A25216Did they d ● this, as und ● r the Inspection and Government of the Rulers that then were?
A25216Did you not here suppose some Equality in these Cases?
A25216Do not his Reasons touch the case of all Churches in all Ages, and not only some particular Persons, and Case?
A25216Do not the Lutheran Churches hold some things lawful, and indifferent, which in the Judgment of the Church of England are unwarrantable?
A25216Do you find the one agreeable to the other?
A25216Do you find this within the first five hundred years?
A25216Do you not charge them with wilful Error or Mistake?
A25216Do you not here bewray some undecent Passion, which you so condemn others for?
A25216Do you not here make your Parochial Congregations also New Churches?
A25216Do you well accord here with the Governours of the Church?
A25216Doth he not direct this Command to all the Church of Rome, even to the authorized Pastors and Rulers of the Church, as well as to the People?
A25216Doth he not forbid censuring, despising, and not receiving one another; and command Dissenters to receive one another?
A25216For do they not do the very same things, and in the same manner, that the others do?
A25216Had not these been of the same Nature, and as lawful as the significant Ceremonies, which the Church hath taken on her to appoint?
A25216Hath God made Men Judges whether the Gospel shall be preached or not; or whether People shall be Saved, or left to perish in their Ignorance and Sin?
A25216Hath not God made them Instruments of the Conversion and Salvation of many Souls?
A25216Hath not this been taken for their Right given them by God?
A25216Haywood, I. Shaw, Thomas Vincent, and Matthew Pool,( so well known by his learned and useful Synopsis Critic ● ●) all of no use?
A25216He that heareth you, hearet ● me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me,& c. Now what will you make of them, and their Hearers?
A25216Here were distinct and peculiar Teachers, not under the Government of the Iewish Church- Rulers: Then, were they new( unlawful) Churches?
A25216How can these things stand together?
A25216How far are they above all your Censures?
A25216How far doth the Example of our Saviour or his Apostles warrant such rigorous Impositions?]
A25216How happy and glorious would the Church of England be, had she no worse Teachers, than Dr. Stilling fleet was, when he maintained those Principles?
A25216How is it proved, and how cometh it to be any great matter to separate from a Church- ● orm which God never made?
A25216How many great and pressing moral Reasons( that all Christians are bound by) are heaped up here?
A25216How many that could not submit to these Laws and Rules, without receding from their own publick Confessions?
A25216How oft do you greatly expose your self, that what you urge agianst your Brethren may justly be retorted on you?
A25216How strange is it, that the Reverend Doctor, should ever forget the Rector of Sutton?
A25216How then comes that to be an Act of Worship in them, when with you it is no Act of Worship, but a ● eer indifferent Ceremony?
A25216How then is their Ministry become a destructive and pernicious thing?
A25216How then shall we be satisfied, and assured, that you have not written partially of late, out of overmuch Fondn ● ss on Conformity?
A25216How will Dissenters thank you for this?
A25216I say, why may not such be owned as in Communion with the Church of England?
A25216I suppose you may have Bishop Cranmer''s Manuscript still by you; and are you of his Iudgment in all things?
A25216I would know, whether that Speech of the Bishop of St. David''s in the Convocation- House, May 23, 1604, was not seasonable?
A25216If Men can spare the Ministry, why are they maintained?
A25216If Rulers may silence the faithful Ministers of Christ, who knoweth where to bound his Obedience to such Silencers?
A25216If Usurpers claim the Crown, must not Subjects judg which is the true King, and defend his Right?
A25216If a 1000 or 2000 faithful Ministers must cease Preaching, when so forbidden, why not 3000?
A25216If a Patient would not take a Medicine from one Mans hand, whether would not the Physician consent that another should give it him?
A25216If not, what makes a Member, and how are the Pastors special Flock truly known to him from others?
A25216If not, whether dwelling in the Parish makes a Christian a Member of the Parish- Church?
A25216If still they are in Office, as Ministers of Christ, are they not obliged to serve him in that Office, as they have a Call and Opportunity?
A25216If the Bishops be Members, Doth the Canon that forbids Men to go from their own Parish- Churches, extend to the Bishop?
A25216If they are needful for the safety of Mens Souls, must so many thousands hazard their Souls, for want of needful help?
A25216If yea, must not the Bounds of it be shewed, without denying the thing,( as if that would bring in all Confusion?)
A25216If yea, would they not have necessary help to do it?
A25216If you are clear in the Point, have you done this?
A25216If you have Communion with them, why may you not as lawfully have Communion with Nonconformists in their way of Worship?
A25216If you have no Communion with them, then are you not Schismaticks from those Churches?
A25216If you mak ● them unprofitable, idle Indifferents, are not such things unworthy of the Churches Appointment?
A25216If you say here, What is this to a positive Separation, which is the present Business?
A25216Is Schism indeed become such an inconsiderable and petty Inconvenience?
A25216Is every one bound to submit( wholly as to the Form of Government) to Governours Determination?
A25216Is he not bound to do more good than they, rather than authorized to do more hurt?
A25216Is it Infidel Princes or only Christians?
A25216Is it Papists,& c. or only the Orthodox?
A25216Is it better to let them hear none at all, than that we preach to them?
A25216Is it in the point of Separation, which is the present Business?
A25216Is not the Gospel and God''s Worship equally necessary?
A25216Is not this Scripture( as others) written for a standing Rule, and so obligatory to Rulers still?
A25216Is not this a different Case?
A25216Is not this to blast the Credit of the Reformation?
A25216Is there any Christian that dare say, that Bishops or Princes are in all things to be obeyed, lest the People be made Judges?
A25216Is there no need of more?
A25216Is there nothing to be done for Dissenting Protestants?
A25216Is this Rule, of the Iudgment of the Primitive and Reformed Churches indeed applicable to your established Rule?
A25216Is this a golden, rather is it not a leaden Rule?
A25216Is this a plain, or rather is it not an Impossible Rule?
A25216Is this for the Honour of our Reformation?
A25216Is this your Christian Charity?
A25216Is this your Ingenuity, your Gratitude, your Christian- temper?
A25216Magistrates keeping all in Peace?
A25216Making their Practice, that own you to be true Churches, to be the more unjustifiable, more inexcusable, more unreasonable Separation?
A25216May I give away the needful helps to my Salvation, because others have them?
A25216May it not be turned contrary ways?
A25216May not several Churches differ in Modes and Forms of Worship, and yet have Communion with one another?
A25216May not the like be truly said of the Ministry of many Non- conformists, both heretofore, and to this present day?
A25216May they not endeavour any Alteration, not so much as by complaining to Governours of such Exorbitances of Power, and by humble Petition for Redress?
A25216Might not they with a good Conscience have forborn those needless Impositions, which they very well knew would be so grievous and burdensome to many?
A25216Must God ask leave of Rulers to be worshipped as God?
A25216Must all obey?
A25216Not one word but might equally have served the Papists?
A25216Now are not these pretty sharp Reflections?
A25216Now it is true, they can not pretend Authority from the Bishops: but if they can prove, they have Authority from Christ, is not that sufficient?
A25216Now it would be considered, whether in these Words you have not given Metropolitan Churches a shake, if not Diocesan Churches too?
A25216Now they rest from their Labours, yet do not many of their Works praise them in the Gates?
A25216Now what Equity is here?
A25216Now will you say, those Rules and Orders, about which all the Difference is betwixt you, and the Non- conformists, concern the Being of your Church?
A25216Or can we think that the Church should now unite upon such Terms, as it never united before?
A25216Or doing nothing by Partiality?
A25216Or doth it prove it not necessary to them, that it is preached to others?
A25216Or ever the ● ss, if they renounce their Ministry?
A25216Or if it be otherwise, must they not be ruled as Brutes?
A25216Or if you do account them so sinful and dangerous, are you not the more obliged to disprove and refute them?
A25216Or might they have forbidden the Priests the Work appointed them by God?
A25216Or might they have put any one in his Place, that had not Right from God, or that was unqualified?
A25216Or that honest Men can lye, and say that they assent to what they do not?
A25216Or the Assembly that joyned, at that time, Schismaticks?
A25216Or to which of their Determinations must others submit?
A25216Or were there no Churches in England then, or till your establisht Rule came in?
A25216Or what are their Thoughts of Souls, of Sin, of Repentance ▪ of Holiness, and of their own Sufficiency and Labours?
A25216Or whether both Parties might not yet be in Communion with the Church of England?
A25216Or whether imputing their Error to Christ untruly, be not an Aggravation of the Sin?
A25216Or whether is it Schism to disobey it?
A25216Or whether it be not enough that we patiently suffer?
A25216Or whether it be to be compared with the consequents of unnecessary Impositi ● ns?
A25216Or why do you neglect your Duty towards them?
A25216Or will you allow others to say, that there you have pleaded for unreasonable Separation?
A25216Or will you assert the contrary, and prove it?
A25216Or would you have such Re- baptized?
A25216Or, whether they could change or abrogate their Office?
A25216Say then, Whether ever any such Controversie arose betwixt the Conformists and Non- conformists?
A25216Say you, And doth this Kindness only belong to some of our Parochial Churches?
A25216Should not English- men be as well concerned for English- men, as for Indians?
A25216Should they betrary the Churches Interest, for the Churches Peace?
A25216So here, how plain is it, that you look but on one side,( which as I remember you suppose those that differ from you to be faulty in?)
A25216So whether that Determination and Decree of the holy Ghost by the Apostles be not obligatory to all Rulers and Churches upon Earth, even to this day?
A25216The Apostle gives Timothy a very solemn Charge( then are not Bishops concerned in it, if Timothy was a Bishop?)
A25216The main thing to be discussed, is, Whether the Communion of your Church or ours, be rather to be chosen in order to Salvation?
A25216The only Question then remaining seems to be; By what Authority they do these things?
A25216Then are not Deacons, that are allowed to preach, and baptize,& c. different Officers?
A25216Then are they not bound in their Places to endeavour the Advancement of Religion, as well at home, as abroad?
A25216Then may not Men question, whether the Governours of the Church have such a Power from Christ, till they can prove it?
A25216Then must you not either acquit many Dissenters here, or condemn many Conformists?
A25216Then what if our Civil Governours, and the Ecclesiastical should differ in their Iudgments, and Determinations?
A25216Then whether is the new Form of Congregations jure divino, when they become but parts of a Bishops Church?
A25216To your Question there, doth this make a Man to have Communion with the Church of Rome?
A25216WHether the Apostle Paul hath not clearly and fully decided the case, against censuring or despising one another for things Indifferent?
A25216Was all their Patience in this Cause for Conscience sake, not a Fruit of God''s Spirit in them, but a Bastard of their own Spirit?
A25216Was he not a Pastor and Ruler of that Church as fully authorized as any that should succeed?
A25216Was it their Judgment, that each Nation, or Province should be tied up to a strict Vniformity in such things?
A25216Was the Primitive Church for kneeling in the Act of receiving?
A25216Was there not need of an Index Expurgatorius here?
A25216Were not some of them glad of an opportunity of Preaching in another Diocess, when they might not be suffered to preach where they lived?

A25216Were not the Psaltzgraves Churches to be reckoned among the reformed Churches?
A25216Were the Primitive Churches for imposing the same Liturgy, the same Rites and Ceremonies, which they yet held undetermined by God''s Word?
A25216Were they not baptized in this Church, and received into Communion with it as Members of it?
A25216Were they tyed up to the Church- Rules of the Jews in what they did?
A25216Were this one Rule agreed on, what Peace and Unity would soon follow?
A25216What Justice or Reason is there, that the Party accused, should sit Judg in their own Cause?
A25216What a damp brought it to all Godliness and Religion?

A25216What an heavy Task, and hard Province have you taken on you?
A25216What can Men do, that come after the King?
A25216What if a Minister be scrupulous, and in doubt, whether by the use of the Ceremony he be not guilty of confirming them in their Superstition?
A25216What if an Interdict silence all the Ministers in a Kingdom?
A25216What if it silence more than can be spared without the Churches wrong?
A25216What if they culpably would hear no other?
A25216What if you have since changed your Opinion?
A25216What is there more?
A25216What then is the parting Point from the Communion of your Church, or the trying Point of Conformity, without which a New Church is erected?
A25216What will you say of those Assemblies, where Christ taught, and the Disciples likewise whom he sent forth?
A25216What?
A25216When Pope Nicholas and some of the Popish Councils forbad all Men to hear Mass from a fornicating Priest, Whether should not Protestants be as strict?
A25216When any are unjustly cast out of their Parish- Churches, whether all Ministers are thereupon obliged, or allowed to desert, or neglect them?
A25216Where is then the Kindness you spake of?
A25216Where they are Heretical, and not to be trusted in point of Faith?
A25216Where was the Fault then?
A25216Whether Christians of as different Principles may not, yea, and ought not yet to love each other, and live in Peace?
A25216Whether Is the wilful neglecting and opposing of it,( as he says in the Title- Page) no less than a manifest Apostacy from the Christian Faith?
A25216Whether Magistrates, and Pastors must not distinguish of Errors and Faults of Subjects?
A25216Whether Men have any Authority to make Laws about God''s Worship, but what Christ hath given them?
A25216Whether Parish- Bounds of Churches be of Divine Institution, and unchangeable, or only of human prudential Constitution?
A25216Whether Popery will come in ever the more for Non- conformist''s Preaching?
A25216Whether Uniformity in Circumstantials, and in External Polity, be any more than a Carkass or Image of Unity, without uniting Love( which is its Soul?)
A25216Whether Unmerciful Pastors do not tempt the People to question, whether they be sent of God?
A25216Whether a Ministry be not ordinarily necessary to the propagating of the Gospel, and the saving of Souls?
A25216Whether a Pastor should not love his own Flock, as well as the People of a Forreign Land?
A25216Whether any but Volunteers should be taken for true Christians, or admitted to Holy Communion, to receive the Seals of Pardon and Life?
A25216Whether are the Bishops that dwell in London- Parishes( or others) Members of the Parish- Church where they dwell?
A25216Whether can humane Power made by their own Contracts, change Christ''s Laws, or the Priviledges or Forms of Christ''s own Churches?
A25216Whether ever you accounted this Act Schismatical, preaching without the Consent of the Rector of the Parish?
A25216Whether every Man hath not Sins of Ignorance, and some degree of Error?
A25216Whether every one is bound to submit to such Ceremonies, being appointed and enjoyned by the Governours of the Church?
A25216Whether every one is bound to submit to them, upon such Determination?
A25216Whether in regard of the diversity of mental Capacities and Apprehensions, the best will ever agree in any, but few, plain, and certain things?
A25216Whether is it your meaning, that it is not wholly agreeable, or not at all agreeable?
A25216Whether it be not dangerous Pride to think themselves great enough, wise enough, and good enough, to come after Christ, and to amend his Work?
A25216Whether it be not morally impossible to bring all good Christians Judgments to hold all this Conformity lawful?
A25216Whether it be not more inexcusable to rack and divide the Church by unnecessary Additions in Religion?
A25216Whether it be not one thing to deny total Communion with a Church, and another to separate but secundum quid, for some Act, or Part?
A25216Whether it be not one thing to depart wilfully, and another to be unwillingly cast out?
A25216Whether it be not one thing to separate locally by bodily Absence, and another mentally by Schismatical Principles?
A25216Whether it be not right, as Bishop Bilson saith,[ If Princes forbid us, we must go on with our work?]
A25216Whether it be not their Office to be Judges, who is to be baptized, and to communicate?
A25216Whether it is a small Fault to usurp a Power proper to Christ?
A25216Whether many Souls are not like to be fed, or famished, and consequently to live or die, as Non- conformists do their Duty, or neglect it?
A25216Whether many in place are not grosly defective in the necessary Qualifications for their Office,( and consequently in the discharge of the same?)
A25216Whether might they then have put out a lawful Priest, that had not forfeited his Life, or Office?
A25216Whether shall the People have any Judgment of discerning, or not?
A25216Whether such Rites and Ceremonies are Matters of meer Order and Decency?

A25216Whether the Ministerial Office be taken up upon Tryal ▪ or for a time; or during Life( with a Capacity to perform the work?)
A25216Whether the Novatians for many Ages were not tolerated by the wisest and godliest Emperours and Bishops?
A25216Whether the Souls of Men are of no more value, than our Ceremonies?
A25216Whether the greatest Defenders of Prelacy do not affirm such to be but humane Institutions?
A25216Whether there is a greater difference of Visages, than of Intellectual Apprehensions?
A25216Whether they do not condemn themselves, who cry down Schism, while they unavoidably cause it?
A25216Whether they that cry out,[ One and All, why not one as well as another?]
A25216Whether they that say, the Apostle doth not forbid such Impositions there, can see Day for Light?
A25216Whether to forbid Preaching, or Prayer or Praise, ordaining Homogeneal Means of our own, seem not an Usurpation, and unlawful?
A25216Whether to forbid Religious Assemblies, or alter their Ends and principal Use, be not to usurp, and to contradict the Laws of Christ?
A25216Whether we may not set up other Churches, when we are necessarily kept from those established by publick Power?

A25216Will it not be granted, that if the most in France conform to Popery, this will not disoblige all others from the exercise of their Ministry?
A25216Will not all these things make it seem very improbable that it should be an Apostolical Institution?
A25216Will not honest Mens Professions and Practices agree in the main with their Judgments?
A25216Will you blast the Credit of, and cast a Reproach upon our first Reformers?
A25216Will you consider such, to take off the Scruples you may have occasioned by this Passage?
A25216Will you grant, that such as agree with you in all things necessary, may not, should not be debarred Communion, by imposing things unnecessary?
A25216Will you no more stand our Friend?
A25216Will you say, you wrote partially then, as swayed with your Pitty and Tenderness towards Dissenters?
A25216Would God be wel- pleased with such Service, as was done but to please Men, while their Consciences( in the mean while) condemned them for it?
A25216Would it be to sin against this Rule?
A25216Would not such a Rule be point- blank contrary to Scripture- Rule?
A25216Would not that considerable Person, you once speak of, Philip Nye, have said, Quid verba audiam cum facta videam?
A25216Would not this be contrary to true Faith and Piety?
A25216Would that be no Sin?
A25216Would they have had me suffered this Sin to have lain upon them without reproving it?
A25216Would you disclaim Communion with them, because they had some Rules and Orders different from yours?
A25216Would you have called those, new separate Churches, that made use of the new reformed Liturgy?
A25216Would you have them bound to acquiesce in the publick Decision, without doing any thing towards a Reformation?
A25216Would you not here be raking into old Sores,& c. contrary to what you say in your Preface, p. 44, 45?
A25216Would you then disown, and discard such, whom you here maintain to be the Apostles Successours?
A25216You go on, Are you afraid of having too many Friends, that you thus use those, whom you once took to be such?
A25216You pleaded wel ● for 〈 ◊ 〉 ● ● ms, and what can you say now, what have you thought of since to justify Mens imposing harder Terms?
A25216You should have told us also what Reformed Churches you meant, whether all, or only some of them?
A25216and at the Will of Man, whether Christ shall have a Church, and God be publickly worshipped, or not?
A25216and hath not he given Laws to regulate all Men''s Laws that determine of needful undetermined Accidents?
A25216and if others make them profitable, edifying Ceremonies, have you not here denied that the Church hath so great Power of her self to appoint such?
A25216and so must not ● udg so much as whom they are to obey?
A25216and what better way can you think of, to put a stop to Separation?
A25216and which Humane Churches are necessary, which Lawful, and which Sinful?
A25216and yet would you wholly lay aside the Office of the Ministry, and preach the Gospel no more, rather than c ● oss his Will?
A25216as proving them to be true Churches, They having the Word of God truly preached, and Sacraments administred acc ● rding to Christ''s Institution?
A25216beyond Exception prove it, with more?
A25216could they own it, as evident to all Men diligently reading the holy Scriptures, to be of Apostolical Institution?
A25216had we not a valid Ordination?
A25216how comes it then to be Separation in some, and not in others?
A25216is Beza for silencing, and stopping the Mouths of such a number of faithful and able Ministers?
A25216or a Christian more than an Heathen?
A25216or a Conformists, that will hold Communion with none but his own Party, but separates from all other Churches in the Land?
A25216or rather, are you not uncharitable in your Censure of all those, whom you condemn as Separatists, and guilty of Schism?
A25216our Church utterly denies?
A25216p. 132. you say, The Question is not, whether all publick Worship be sinful, when forbidden?
A25216should their Salvation satisfy me instead of mine own?
A25216supposing such a Sentence unjust, though that alone would not justify Separation, whether yet it may not something extenuate it?
A25216that unnecessary Laws and Burthens in Religion should be made for, and laid upon the Churches?
A25216the hatred of their Brethren on the minds of such Hearers as will believe them, and receive the Impress?
A25216then is there not some strange secret Virtue, or Inchantment in this Chain of Conformity?
A25216till it be first known, which of those is of Divine, and which of Humane Institution?
A25216to add to his Doctrine by making things necessary, which he never made to be so?
A25216to be the Title of visible Members of the Church, and the Symbol by which they shall be notified?
A25216to himself?
A25216were they not distinct and peculiar Officers?
A25216what can we do here in comparison of you?
A25216what?
A25216where can you stop them from appointing new Ceremonies?
A25216whether some are not tolerable, and therefore to be tolerated; and some intolerable, and therefore not to be tolerated?
A25216while you are against allowing the like Liberty to Natives, which you deny not to Strangers?
A25216why not 4000?
A25216will say, If a Foot must be cut off for a Gangreen, why not for a Corn?
A25216will you say, the latter is the more unreasonable?
A25216worth more than a needless Ceremony?
A25216worthy of Ejection, or Exclusion from their Ministry, whether they have not still a Right to exercise their Function?
A25216— And is that true Zeal for God?
A25216— Could not Latimer, or Bradford, or such holy, mortified Men as they, discern so much as a Mote of Vnlawlawfulness?
A25216— Now walkest thou not charitably?
A25216— Would Beza, even Beza, at such a time as that, be for silencing so many Preachers?
A61632''s first Question is, which way the Child cometh to have right to Baptism, any more than all the Infidels Children in the world?
A61632''s ground?
A61632''s principles made so many Bishops that every one might have had three or four for his share?
A61632( Are not these kind words for themselves, considering what he gives to others?)
A6163218. and that which the Papists give to the Host, when it is carried up and down the streets?
A61632Again, Why should not you bear with lesser contradiction, when others must bear with far greater from you?
A61632Also did not Ridley stand upon his Right to the Bishoprick of London though ready to die?
A61632And How could I do that without proving those Practices to be sinful?
A61632And Is it not the same case here, If Men only afford an occasional Presence, at some parts of our Worship?
A61632And Is this all the Antidote against the Mischief of Separation?
A61632And What could more harden the Papists, then to see Men put no difference betwen these?
A61632And are we now told, That all that can lawfully be done is done?
A61632And as for you, Augustin, Who can with patience read your long and fierce Declamations, against the sober Donatists?
A61632And by that time all these have set up among us, shall we not be in a very hopeful way to preserve the Protestant Religion?
A61632And can not these prevail with Men to do that, which they think in their Consciences they may lawfully do, towards joyning in Communion with us?
A61632And can we think all these persons had praesential and local Communion with Saint Augustin in his Church at Hippo?
A61632And consequently, whether others may not as justly be said to draw away their People from them, as they are charged with the same practice?
A61632And could Mr. B. have found it in his heart to have told him that he did not understand the right constitution of Churches?
A61632And did not he declare, That he came not to dissolve the Law, but to fulfill it?
A61632And did not the false Apostles do so, and have not others followed their examples?
A61632And did not their Example powerfully help forward the Reformation of all Europe?
A61632And did they not give them Authority to doe what they had appointed?
A61632And doth this Kindness only belong to some of our Parochial Churches?
A61632And from whence does it then come, that some Englishmen themselves have so ill an opinion of her at present, and divide rashly from her, as they do?
A61632And how could they make choice of men for their fitness and abilities, when their abilities depended so much on the Apostles laying on of their hands?
A61632And how then can it be imagined, that it has changed its use?
A61632And if Presbytery had been settled upon the Kings Restauration, would they not have continued their Separation?
A61632And if it be, whether the Children of confederated Parents not being confederated themselves, can convey a right to their Children?
A61632And if men be wrongfully excommunicate, are they thereby absolved from all publick Worshipping of God?
A61632And if they could be drawn into the design, would the People submit?
A61632And is all this nothing but to be the Bishop''s Curates, and to officiate in some of his Chapels?
A61632And is it not to their wise conduct, to which next under God, his Word is beholden for its Victories and Triumphs?
A61632And is it probable the Apostle should prescribe a Rule of mutual forbearance, in such a case as this?
A61632And is not a mistake or error of Conscience all one?
A61632And is not every Church- member bound to perform these?
A61632And is not that possible and lies in them to do, which they acknowledge lawful to be done, and can do at some times?
A61632And is promising and performance all one?
A61632And is the Power of the Keys in their hands too?
A61632And is this all?
A61632And must we never Preach against the Papists but when they are present?
A61632And must you, even you, that should be our comfort, become our shame, and break our hearts, and make Men Papists by your Temptation?
A61632And on the other side, hath not Mr. B. complained publickly of the weakness and injudiciousness of too many of the Non- conformist Preachers?
A61632And so many useful Men be incouraged and taken into the Constitution?
A61632And that he complyed with Iohn''s Baptism, because he was to fulfill all righteousness?
A61632And the worst cases imaginable supposed, in stead of that which is really theirs?
A61632And therefore why may not every Church appoint its own Rite of admission of Members into its Body?
A61632And upon all these several bars to the Parents Right, how few Children will be left, that a man can baptize with a safe Conscience?
A61632And was it Idolatry and to be tolerated in 1675?
A61632And was it not very pertinent to this, to shew how far an erroneous conscience may, or may not excuse from sin?
A61632And was this an argument the Power was then in the People?
A61632And were these true Churches all that while, and are not ours so now?
A61632And what Argument can stand before a man of such prowesse in disputing?
A61632And what coherence is there now between this, and the Proof that I bring for the Existence of a Deity?
A61632And what consequence is there from the unlawfulness of the Worship of Images, against our worshipping of God?
A61632And what if it represents subjection to Christ as the Redeemer?
A61632And what is there in Theodoret which contradicts this?
A61632And what is this but to deny Communion with the Church of England?
A61632And what is this to the Impositions of our Church, or Separation on the account of them?
A61632And what is this to the power of the Church?
A61632And what must we do?
A61632And what need a new Church when himself allows occasional distinct Assemblies for greater Edification?
A61632And what then can justifie this Separation, but a difference of Opinion as to some circumstantials in Worship?
A61632And what then?
A61632And what then?
A61632And what then?
A61632And what then?
A61632And what then?
A61632And what was there, which the old Non- conformists more complained of, than the want of a more Preaching Ministery?
A61632And where hath he appointed that there should be no other Churches but particular Congregations?
A61632And whether any part of the People might still own that relation which he had before to them, without palpable disobedience and contempt of Authority?
A61632And whether besides all these, actual confederation and joyning in Church Covenant be not necessary?
A61632And who are these People?
A61632And who is the Schismatick here?
A61632And why should not you bear with my Dissent, as well as I do with yours?
A61632And why should we imagin it otherwise, as to extent of Power and Iurisdiction?
A61632And would he conceal such weighty things from those who were so desirous to find the Truth, and so resolved to adhere to it?
A61632And yet is not this a Professing, Dedicating, Covenanting, Symbolical, Sacramental Sign, as much as the Sign of the Cross is among us?
A61632And, Do we not feel it?
A61632And, Do we not make want of Discipline, one of the Reasons of our Separation?
A61632And, Doth it not plainly signifie, that Errors of Conscience is a protection against Schism?
A61632And, Doth not the Apostle expresly say, That he was made under the Law?
A61632And, Hath he now deserved this at your hands, to have them all thrown in his face, and to be thus upbraided with his former kindness?
A61632And, How is it possible, upon these terms, to have any Peace, or Order, or any establish''d Church?
A61632And, Is this a good ground for Separation, that the Preaching is too good for the People?
A61632And, Is this a good way of Answering, to dissemble the main force of an Argument, that something may seem to be said to it?
A61632And, Is this the Damnable, Devillish, Sacrilegious Schism you talk of?
A61632And, Must such Mens Judgments be taken, concerning the Abilities and Competency of their Ministers?
A61632And, Shall the Holy Office and Calling, which is so agreeable to the VVord, be misliked, because it is called a Priesthood?
A61632And, What could this be for, but to draw People from their Churches, to make up Separate Congregations?
A61632And, What is a Formal Separation if this be not?
A61632And, Wherein doth our Church differ from its first Establishment?
A61632And, Which of them Reads what they think lawful at their own Assemblies?
A61632And, saith he, Shall they use our hands to do their Works, and pull their Freedom out of the Fire?
A61632Are all these Rules now come to nothing but what follows from the nature of the thing?
A61632Are not David''s Psalms the same, whether they be Sung, or Said?
A61632Are not the words express, that they promise both by their Sureties?
A61632Are not these men hugely to seek for Arguments against our Church that talk at this rate?
A61632Are not these sufficient Testimonies that I am your Son, but you must expect my obedience in such a trifling Ceremony as putting off my Hat?
A61632Are there none that scruple giving common respect to others as a sort of Idolatry?
A61632Are there none that scruple the lawfulness of Infant- baptism among us?
A61632Are there none that scruple the validity of our Ordinations, and say, we can have no true Churches, because we renounce Communion with the Pope?
A61632Are there none that scruple the very use of Baptism and the Lords Supper, saying they are not to be literally understood?
A61632Are they Churches rightly constituted, with whom they may joyn in Communion as Members?
A61632Are they Divine or Human?
A61632Are they only the grave and wise Pastors among themselves, which are scorned by such men?
A61632Are you afraid of having too many Friends, that you thus use those, whom you once took to be such?
A61632As for those of the Separation, saith Parker a Noted Non- conformist, Who have Confuted them more than we?
A61632At what Time?
A61632Before I answer this Question, I hope, I may ask another; whence comes this zeal now against a National Church?
A61632Besides, why may not our Ministers be obliged to certify the Bishop, as well as theirs to certify the Presbytery?
A61632But I pray doth it hence follow, that Infants do perform Faith and Repentance by their Sureties?
A61632But Who are these Vsurpers among us, since we have a legal establishment, and we thought Law and Vsurpation contrary to each other?
A61632But after all this, wherein is it that he hath thus contradicted himself?
A61632But are these tolerable inconveniencies?
A61632But as to Abilities and Knowledge fit for Ministers, Are not the People admirable Judges?
A61632But can those be called Schismaticks for not communicating with a Church, who are first excommunicated by that Church?
A61632But did I ever say, there was no Certainty without Infallible Assistance?
A61632But did he ever divide the Church on such an account as this?
A61632But did the Churches of New England allow this for a just Cause?
A61632But do I any where say, that being in the Empire, they were bound to submit to the Roman Church?
A61632But doth he mean any indifferent Rites, or Ceremonies, where the Doctrine is sound?
A61632But doth not Mr. Baxter say, that the universal Church is headed by Christ himself?
A61632But have they no right to their own Souls and to the care of them?
A61632But have we not the same Religion still?
A61632But how could 5000 then doe all this together?
A61632But how then comes he to justifie the Separation from the Church of Rome?
A61632But how?
A61632But if I onely mean a Christian Kingdom, who denies it?
A61632But if men do not sin in making an Image a stated Motive of Worship( whoever said they did not?
A61632But if the Profane must be excluded, by what Law?
A61632But if the Question be, by what way this National Consent is to be declared?
A61632But is it lawful for a Congregation to separate on the account of Infant- Baptism?
A61632But is it said so, in plain words?
A61632But is not all this true supposing that such new species of Churches be so devised and so imposed?
A61632But is this to be looked for?
A61632But let this pass, what follows?)
A61632But suppose the Indulgence be at present strictly limited to Dissenting Protestants; are we sure it shall always so continue?
A61632But the Apostles never gave any such Rules themselves, about outward Modes of Worship with Ceremonies, Feasts, Fasts, Liturgies,& c. What then?
A61632But were these Churches quiet, after this Separation made?
A61632But what ground is there to suppose so much greater means of Edification in the Separate Congregations?
A61632But what have we to do to judge the Members of other Reformed Churches?
A61632But what if they will not?
A61632But what is all this to the purpose?
A61632But what is there in all this to prove that all the Christians in the whole City were then present, and that this Church would hold them all?
A61632But what is there like that in this Epistle to Leo?
A61632But what is there, which the most inveterate enemies of our Church can charge in her doctrine, as new, as false, as absurd?
A61632But what is this dangerous Secret, that they have hitherto kept in, out of meer veneration to the Church of England?
A61632But what is this notorious doctrine?)
A61632But what is this to the proof of the Congregational way?
A61632But what need all this?
A61632But what new and strong Reason doth he bring for it?
A61632But what then?
A61632But whence comes it to pass, that any who think occasional Communion with us to be lawful, should not think themselves obliged to constant Communion?
A61632But wherein lies the unsufferable malignity of that?
A61632But which of all these necessary duties may not be performed within the terms of the Law?
A61632But which will be the greater advantage to him, to see it spread and increase, or care taken in time to suppress it?
A61632But why should you suspect an Erroneous Conscience in the Case?
A61632But you say, they have the same Faith, and they are very Orthodox; Why then, saith he, do they Separate?
A61632But, Did the whole force of my Argument lie there?
A61632But, Were they not Baptized in this Church, and received into Communion with it as Members of it?
A61632But, What sence can Dr. O. here put upon the being otherwise minded: Otherwise than what?
A61632But, Wherein doth it lie?
A61632But, Whither will not Mens Indiscreet Zeal, and love of their own Fancies carry them, especially after 40 years prescription?
A61632But, Why must the King bear all the blame, if Mens Souls be not provided for according to their own wishes?
A61632But, Will not this equally hold against our Church, if it Excommunicates those who can not conform?
A61632By Whom?
A61632By running from one Communion to another?)
A61632Can Mr. B. imagine, that such Men thought themselves still bound to Preach, although they were silenced by our Laws?
A61632Can Mr. B. satisfie his Mind with such Answers?
A61632Can any thing be plainer, than that the Book was written by the Non- conformists, and that Mr. Rathband was only the Publisher of it?
A61632Can these things cause death, and distill poyson into a soul?
A61632D ● they declare Total Communion lawful?
A61632Did I ever in my life say the least thing tending that way?
A61632Did I ever mention Mr. Rathband''s Testimony as a sufficient proof?
A61632Did I not fear, it was some dreadful thing; some notorious heresie, condemned by one or two at least of the four General Councils?
A61632Did I not mention their going from him to the Anabaptists and Quakers, upon the very same ground?
A61632Did he ever repent of holding that Office to his death?
A61632Did he not command his Disciples to go hear the Scribes and Pharisees, because they sate in Moses Chair?
A61632Did he not go up to the Feasts at Ierusalem, as a Member of the Iewish Church, and frequent the Synagogues?
A61632Did he set up separate Congregations, because a square Cap and a Tippet would not go down with him?
A61632Did not Christ appoint Apostles and give them Commission and Authority for that end?
A61632Did not Cranmer and Ridley, and Hooper, and Farrar, and Latimer, all Bishops of this Church, suffer Martyrdom by their Means?
A61632Did not the Apostles appoint Rulers in the several Churches, and charged the People to obey them?
A61632Did not they in all places, as they planted Churches, appoint Officers to teach and govern them?
A61632Did these Men think, the Apostles Woe be unto me if I Preach not the Gospel, did reach to their case?
A61632Did they not continue in the apostles Doctrine and Fellowship and breaking of Bread and Prayers?
A61632Did they suspect I was turn''d Papist, at such a Time, when all the Nation was set against Popery?
A61632Did they want warmth and zeal for Religion, who burnt at the Stake for it?
A61632Do no you know, what Corah, Dathan, and Abiram suffer''d?
A61632Do not I say as plainly, as words can express it, that a wilful error doth not excuse from sin?
A61632Do not Princes and Governours give an account of their proceedings for the satisfaction of their Subjects minds?
A61632Do they allow this to the Lutheran Churches?
A61632Do they not in other Churches abroad?
A61632Do we declare that we are excited by it to worship God?
A61632Do we not daily see such things to be the fruits of popular elections, where men are concerned for the strength and reputation of their Party?
A61632Do we not know it?
A61632Do we want Discipline?
A61632Do you think the worse of your self because you are called Brownists?
A61632Doth God reveal his Will to the meek, the humble, the inquisitive, the resolute Minds?
A61632Doth Mr. B. believe that all the Christians in these 800 Churches had personal Communion with Theodoret?
A61632Doth he not say, the multitudes were so great in the smaller Churches in the Lent Assemblies, that not a few were stifled and carried home for dead?
A61632Doth he say, or intimate, that all the Christians of the City were present?
A61632Doth it not import an obligation lying on the person?
A61632Doth not Iudgment begin with us?
A61632Doth not Mr. B. confess, That they have too many such among themselves?
A61632Doth not holding up the hand signify and represent?
A61632Doth not this look very improbably?
A61632Doth not this overthrow any other Order or Vnion among Christians but what Christ hath instituted and appointed for them?
A61632Doth that prove an Epistle wherein he vindicates himself from the imputation of Heresie, to be spurious?
A61632Doth the King pretend to do any thing in this matter, but according to the establish''d Laws and Orders of this Church?
A61632Doth the VVord Authorise him, to Administer the Sacraments?
A61632Doth the VVord enjoyn the Minister to Teach diligently?
A61632Doth the nature of Church- discipline lie in that?
A61632Doth this look like a Precept of mutual forbearance, as to the differences then among them?
A61632Either those separarate Meetings are lawful or not; if not, Why doth not Mr. Baxter disown them?
A61632Et comment donc s''imaginer qu''elle ayt changé d''usage?
A61632Et d''oú vient donc, que des Anglois mémes en ont aujourdhuy si mechante opinion,& rompre si temerairement comme ils font, avec Elle?
A61632First, Whether the Apostle speaks of different opinions, or of different practises?
A61632For Gerson putting the question, what the effect of such excommunications is?
A61632For Mr. B. puts this in the front of his Quaere''s; Do you think, that he is a Separatist that meeteth not in the same Parish Church with you?
A61632For faith he to his Father, Why do you require me to put off my Hat in your Presence, and to make this the condition of my staying in your House?
A61632For if the Papists should desire the liberty but of one Church in London, doth that prove they are no more than can make one Congregation?
A61632For my Words are, Is it that they Fear the Reproaches of the People?
A61632For suppose they should be mistaken, doth this error of Conscience justifie their separation, or not?
A61632For the Episcopal Government, what is there in it that is dangerous, and may reasonably alarm mens consciences?
A61632For the Question is not, Whether Abiathar did not deserve to be put out, but to whom it belonged to do it, whether to the King, or the People?
A61632For was there not a Church here settled upon the Reformation in the time of Edward 6. and Queen Elizabeth?
A61632For was there not a Church to be formed in the beginning?
A61632For where do we ever allow such an use of Images in our Church?
A61632For who was it that did govern it?
A61632For whoever thought themselves justly ejected?
A61632For why may not the Church appoint such a Rite of Admission of one of her Members declaring it to be no part of Baptism?
A61632For, Did not they take out Indulgences, Build Meeting Places, and keep up Separate Congregations ever since?
A61632For, What Vnion can be justifiable with those whose terms of Communion are unlawful?
A61632For, What is it which the Papists have more envied and maligned than the Church of England?
A61632For, how do I know when you will have done with your tokens of respect?
A61632For, was not the Government of the Church Aristocratical in the Apostles times?
A61632For, what if Theodoret''s Epistles came out of the Vatican Copy?
A61632From what grounds come they to practise occasional Communion?
A61632From whence it follows, that the main thing in dispute was, whether this Ceremony of washing hands could be omitted, without defiling the conscience?
A61632Hath Dr. O. yielded, that in case some terms of Communion in our Church were not insisted upon, they would give over separation?
A61632Hath not Mr. B. complained with more than ordinary resentment, that they are ready to scorn, and vilifie the gravest wisest Pastors?
A61632Hath not Mr. B. fully set forth the Pride, Ignorance, Censoriousness, Headiness, Rashness of raw and injudicious Zealots?
A61632Hath not the same Doctrine, the same Government, the same manner of Worship, continued in this Church?
A61632Hath our Church made any New Terms of Communion, or alter''d the Old Ones?
A61632Hath this been the temper of our scrupulous Brethren of late?
A61632Have not we Publick, and the Papists only Private Allowance?
A61632Have those of the Congregational way since alter''d their judgments?
A61632He grants the consequence, and cries, What then?
A61632How came it to be changed, from that to a Democratical Form?
A61632How come these Terms of Communion to be so unlawful now; which were then approved by such holy, learned, and excellent men as our first Reformers?
A61632How comes it then so hard for men to understand so easy, so plain, so intelligible a thing?
A61632How comes this to make them more to have Communion with our Church, than the like presence would make them to have Communion with the Roman Church?
A61632How doth that appear?
A61632How doth this appear from the nature of the thing, and the necessary duties of Christians?
A61632How far the Apostles Rule, hath an influence on our present case?
A61632How fully hath Mr. B. set forth the Vngovernable and Factious Humor of this sort of People, and the Pernicious consequences of complying with them?
A61632How many Advances had we presently made for letting in the grossest Idolatry?
A61632How many Divines of the Church of Rome had been quoted, to shew, that they went no further and desired no more than this?
A61632How then comes this to be thought so impossible a case as to the thing it self?
A61632How then could he possibly infer from hence, that I set Man''s Laws above Gods?
A61632How then doth this prove, that I render it impossible, by any Certain Argument, to prove the Existence of a Deity?
A61632How then is it a medium in God''s Worship?
A61632How then?
A61632However, Why all this while, no Constant Communicant with any Church?
A61632However, he thinks this will prove( What, that they differ from us in any substantial part of Worship?
A61632I Ask, How we should come by the sense, but from the words?
A61632I Asked, What the matter was?
A61632I grant it; but is it not expresly said, that the Question was sent up from the Churches, to the Apostles and Presbyters?
A61632If Felicissimus and his Brethren dislike some things in the Church of Carthage, Why may not they go to the Mountains for separate Meetings?
A61632If all the Question be, how all the Congregations in England make up this one Church?
A61632If any Divine of the Church of England had said any thing to this purpose, what out- cries of Popery had been made against us?
A61632If it be a Divine Rule, they are of the National Church as well as we; if it be a humane Rule, how comes consent in this to make a National Church?
A61632If it were a permanent sign of the Cross, would it be for a Testimony to God, or to Men?
A61632If men be negligent in doing their duty, must the Church bear the blame, and this be pleaded for a ground of Separation from her Communion?
A61632If no error will excuse from sin, why is the Question afterwards put by me, What error will excuse?
A61632If not, why are they not proved to be unlawful?
A61632If not, why do they doe any thing relating to Church Government, for which they have no Command in Scripture?
A61632If our Assemblies be built upon that Rock, How can you deny them to be True Churches?
A61632If saving faith be necessary, whether the outward profession of it be sufficient?
A61632If such as these had not been busie at Philippi( where it appears that Iews inhabited) What need St. Paul give so much caution against them?
A61632If the Novatians do think your Discipline too loose, Why should not they joyn together for stricter?
A61632If the good People were imposed upon against their Wills in the choice of Cornelius, Why may not they choose Novatian for their Pastor?
A61632If the same Man puts on finer Clothes at London, than he wears in the Countrey, Is he not the same Man for all that?
A61632If then the Doctrine of our Church be sound, VVhat VVarrant have you to call us Antichrists?
A61632If they ask, how it comes to be one National Church?
A61632If they do, will they be so unjust, as not to allow the same favor and kindness to our own Church?
A61632If they have the same Doctrines, the same Sacraments, For what cause do they set up another Church in opposition to ours?
A61632If this be true, as no doubt Mr. B. believes it, then what such mighty help, or assistance is this to our great Parishes?
A61632If this be unjust, is it separation to be so excommunicated?
A61632If we allowed the Worship of Images to be lawfull, this were a pertinent Question; but since we deny it, what makes all this against us?
A61632If you think such a Separation unlawful, then Why do you pretend to confute my Sermon, which was designed purposely against it?
A61632In it an Objection is thus put; But What shall we say then to the P ● pists?
A61632In what Manner was this necessity of Separation created?
A61632Into what Hard- heartedness have we sinned our selves?
A61632Is Schism indeed become such an inconsiderable and petty inconvenience?
A61632Is all this done for the honor of our Reformation?
A61632Is all this nothing but the natural effect of the levity or volubility of Peoples Minds?
A61632Is it Idolatry, and not to be tolerated in 1680?
A61632Is it Separation, saith Mr. B. to refuse Pastors that are Vsurpers, and have no true Power over them?
A61632Is it a Sin, to break the Churches Communion, or, Is it not?
A61632Is it because they have no right to the Ordinances?
A61632Is it fit for private persons, when Laws are in force, to take upon them to Iudge what Laws are fit to continue, and what not?
A61632Is it fit or reasonable, that the opinion of such persons be taken, concerning the qualifications of their Ministers?
A61632Is it from the Love of Peace and Concord, as Mr. B. saith?
A61632Is it in the Point of Separation, which is the present business?
A61632Is it indeed come to this?
A61632Is it not possible for a Man to speak of Peace before Hannibal, or of Obedience to Government before Julius Caesar?
A61632Is it not said, that the Apostles and Presbyters met to debate it; and that the multitude was silent?
A61632Is it not said, that the Decrees were passed by the Apostles and Presbyters, without any mention of the People?
A61632Is it not then a strange thing he should thus subject the Judgment of Ministerial Knowledge to such a Company of Triers as these?
A61632Is it not therefore a significant and symbolical Ceremony?
A61632Is it not therefore dedicating, covenanting, and sacramental, as much as the sign of the Cross?
A61632Is it that they have not Power to exclude men, whether their faults be Scandalous to the Congregation or not?
A61632Is it then probable this Church at Carthage should consist of one single Congregation?
A61632Is it to God?
A61632Is it to us, even to us, a Crime intolerable to call us to Repentance?
A61632Is not this a Plea common to all?
A61632Is not this a very fair concession to the Papists?
A61632Is not this admirable ingenuity, to rail upon a man, for suppositions of his own making?
A61632Is not this an admirable way of Communicating with our Churches?
A61632Is not this indeed to the purpose?
A61632Is not this just the old Brownists Argument?
A61632Is not this now a more likely way to reduce the far greatest part of Christianity to Paganism than denying the lawfulness of Separation?
A61632Is our Worship directed to it?
A61632Is such a Consociation of Churches a Duty or not, in such cases?
A61632Is the thing grown so much darker than formerly?
A61632Is there an indispensable obligation to do one part of your duty, and none at all to the other?
A61632Is there no hopes to bring the People to a better temper, and more judgement?
A61632Is there no positive Rule or Direction in this matter?
A61632Is there no way, but to your Tents O Israel?
A61632Is there not Crying Sin with us?
A61632Is this observed in any one Meeting in London, or through England?
A61632Is this the truth of the case indeed?
A61632Is this the way to mend the matter, and to make them grave and wise?
A61632Is this your Ingenuity, your Gratitude, your Christian Temper?
A61632It is but a slender evasion, which they use, when they call these onely voluntary Combinations, for what are all Churches else?
A61632It is lawful, saith Mr. B. to have Communion with the French, Dutch, or Greek Church, Must constant Communion therefore with them be a duty?
A61632It is true the Brethren were present at the nomination of a new Apostle: but were not the Women so too?
A61632It now remains, that we consider whether the restraint of Discipline in our Parochial Churches doth overthrow their Constitution?
A61632Lastly, Doth the VVord Authorise the Minister to execute the Censures and Discipline of Christ?
A61632Let any Man now Iudge, whether this be the discourse of one that rendred it impossible, by any certain Argument, to prove the Existence of a Deity?
A61632M ● ● t we needs therefore never hold fast that which is good?
A61632Mr. B. appearing very warm in this business, what doth Mr. A. coming after him, but make it the very first and fundamental Ground of their Separation?
A61632Mr. B. indeed acts agreeably to his Principles, in coming to our Liturgy; but Where are all the rest?
A61632Must all have equal Votes?
A61632Must he therefore derive his power from it?
A61632Must one speak of nothing but Drums and Trumpets before, great Generals?
A61632Must they Separate from them too?
A61632Must we stand still with open Arms, and naked Breasts to receive all the Wounds they are willing to give us?
A61632Nay, doth not Mr. B. in the same place make it lawfull to make an Image an Object or Medium of our consideration exciting our minds to Worship God?
A61632No Obligation upon a Christian to that, equal to the necessity of Preaching?
A61632No, he dares not say that: but what then?)
A61632Not agreeing in the main things?
A61632Not maintaining Occasional Communion with them?
A61632Not owning their Churches to be true?
A61632Not, in exposing the particular faults of some Men, and laying them to the charge of the whole Party?
A61632Not, in raking into old Sores, or looking back to the proceedings of former times?
A61632Not, in sharp and provoking reflections on Mens Persons?
A61632Now I Ask, If there be not as great an obligation at least, upon Christians to preserve Peace in the Church, as with all Men?
A61632Now I would fain know, what Churches these men are of?
A61632Now where is it, that our Church excludes such a representation?
A61632Now wherein is it that our Diocesan Episcopacy destroys the being of Parochial Churches for want of the Power of Discipline?
A61632Now, Is not Discipline one of God''s Ordinances?
A61632Now, what a strange piece of crosness is this, to dispute the lawfulness of doing it at Church, because we do it not at the Market- place?
A61632One Congregation scruples any kind of Order as an unreasonable Imposition and restraint of the Spirit, is Separation on that account lawful?
A61632Or is it, that they are bound to justify what they doe, and to prosecute the Person for those faults for which they put him back from the Communion?
A61632Or that they did any thing which deserved so severe a punishment?
A61632Or was it no Idolatry then, but is become so now, and intolerable Idolatry too?
A61632Or whether Sung in a Cathedral Tune, or as set by a Parish Clerk?
A61632Pool''s Synopsis?
A61632Pour le gouvernement Episcopal, qu''a t''il qui soit dangereux,& qui puisse raisonnablement alarmer des consciences?
A61632Principles, the People are not bound to Separate from such a Man, notwithstanding his other Abilities?
A61632Quels funestes effets ne produiroit pas une telle separation si elle s''établissoit au milieu de vous?
A61632Qui estce qui y fit resveiller si miraculeusement la verité?
A61632Rules for the Government of his Church; which we are bound to observe, and which are not observed in Parochial Churches?
A61632Say you so?
A61632Secondly, Whether the Rule which the Apostle layes down, be only a Rule of mutual forbearance?
A61632Suppose a man be privately and effectually dealt with to withdraw himself, is not this sufficient?
A61632Suppose not, doth this prove that the Churches Power was then Democratical?
A61632Suppose that; But doth not Mr. B. say, That the rawest and rashest Professors are commonly the most violent and censorious?
A61632Suppose this were meerly excommunication for so long; would not Calvin have thought them Schismaticks for all that?
A61632That is a good ground so far, as it goes, But will it not carry a Man farther, if he pursue it, as he ought to do?
A61632That is not our question, but whether our Parochial Churches have lost their being for want of the Power of Discipline?
A61632That these Officers of the Church were not chosen by the People, but appointed by the Apostles, or other great Men, according to their Order?
A61632That they do not deny, at least some of our Parochial Churches to be true Churches: but why then do they deny Communion with them?
A61632The Plea is, Tenderness of Conscience; the Question is, Whether this Plea be sufficient to justifie Separation?
A61632The Question is not, Whether all Publick Worship be sinful, when forbidden?
A61632Then we are to consider, how far a wilfull mistake or error of Conscience, will justifie men?
A61632Thirdly, How far this Rule hath an influence on our case?
A61632This then being my opinion concerning their Practices, Was this a fault in me, to shew some reason for it?
A61632To the choosing of new Pastors?
A61632To what end doth he mention Valens and Hunericus that cut out of the Preachers Tongues, and several other unbecoming Insinuations?
A61632Very well: but where is the entireness of the power of every single Congregation, the mean while?
A61632Was it Unseasonable to perswade Protestants to Peace and Unity?
A61632Was it not in the Apostles?
A61632Was it not the Bishops?
A61632Was it unlawful to desire a Liberty of Separate Congregations, as the Dissenting Brethren did, because of some Scruples of Conscience in them?
A61632Was not his own Doctrine incomparably beyond theirs?
A61632Was not the same Authority, the same charge as to both of them?
A61632Was not this to shew Mens Obligation to come and Worship there, as well, as that the place was to be kept Sacred for that use?
A61632Was there not the same devotedness, in Ordination to the faithful Administration of Sacraments, as to Preaching the Gospel?
A61632Was there not the same promise and engagement to give faithful diligence to Minister the Doctrine and Sacraments?
A61632Was this the Suspicion they had of the Kindness, and their Wisdom in joyning with the Conformists?
A61632We acknowledge no adorations, but what are due to the Divine Majesty; and do these need to be excused?
A61632We much doubt it, say they, Why so?
A61632Were not the same Ceremonies then appointed?
A61632Were not their Churches first gathered out of Presbyterian Congregations?
A61632Were not then the several Pastours and Teachers invested with a Power superiour to that of the People and independent upon them?
A61632Were they not a Church then?
A61632Were they not arrived to that measure of attainments, or comprehension of the Truths of the Gospel, that men in our Age are come to?
A61632Were they under a cloudy, and dark, and Iewish Dispensation; and all the clear Gospel Light of Division and Separation reserved for our times?
A61632What Authority the Bishop hath, by virtue of his Consecration, in this Church?
A61632What Divine Enforcements of them on the Consciences of Men in the Writings of Christ and his Apostles?
A61632What False Doctrine I had Preached?
A61632What Sophisters arguments are these?
A61632What a great impertinency had both these been, if the Presbyters Power had been quite swallowed up by the Bishops?
A61632What a malicious way of Reproaching is this?
A61632What a stir do you Cyprian make in your Epistles about keeping the Peace of the Church, and submitting to your Rules of Discipline?
A61632What admirable Arguments are there to Peace and Vnity among Christians?
A61632What are those Rules?
A61632What color, or pretence is there from the largeness of them, that he should Preach to the very same persons, who come to our Churches?
A61632What contradiction may be allowed to make a profession not serious?
A61632What deadly effects would not such a separation produce if it were established amongst you?
A61632What doth the man mean?
A61632What endless confusions do such Principles tend to?
A61632What harm is there in all this?
A61632What if Leontius saith that Hereticks feigned Epistles in Theodoret''s name?
A61632What if several Epistles of his are lost, which Nicephorus saw, doth that prove all that are remaining to be counterfeit?
A61632What is it then, that is so denied and disputed against, and such a flood of words is poured out about?
A61632What is it they have more wished to see broken in pieces?
A61632What is it they have used more Arts and Instruments to destroy, than the Constitution and Government of this Church?
A61632What is the reason of all this rage and bitterness?
A61632What is the reason of such a severe saying?
A61632What is there in this case, but is every whit as justifiable, as the present separation?
A61632What is there more?
A61632What is this to Princes imposing what Religion they please?
A61632What is this, but joyning for a Toleration of Popery?
A61632What makes this wonderful difference of eye- sight?
A61632What need all this dispute concerning the Priviledges of the Law?
A61632What need this publick Admonition by name?
A61632What need was there, of letting fall any passages tending this way?
A61632What part of Worship did he ever withdraw from?
A61632What place was there large enough to receive them, when they met for Prayer and Sacraments?
A61632What strange cavilling is this?
A61632What then is to be done in this case, if Men think themselves unjustly cast out?
A61632What then?
A61632What thinks he of Mathematical, or Metaphysical Certainty?
A61632What was this Communion intended for?
A61632What we must judge real seriousness in profession, as distinct from inward sincerity?
A61632What will not Men say in defence of their own practice?
A61632What, as much as kneeling before a Crucifix?
A61632What, if I should deny the continuance of the Roman Empire?
A61632What, in opposing our Ceremonies, when Hooper himself yielded in that which he at first scrupled?
A61632What, no Church among us fit for him to be a Member of?
A61632When and where is innovation without opposition?
A61632When could it be more seasonable, than when the sence of their danger is greatest upon them?
A61632When there were 46 Presbyters at Rome, had it not been fair to have divided them?
A61632When will God give us Repentance unto Life?
A61632Whence come all these difficulties now to be raised about this matter?
A61632Where are they to be found?
A61632Where hath the Church of Rome more Labourers, and a greater harvest, than under the greatest Liberty of Conscience?
A61632Where is there the least ground in Scripture, to intimate, that Christ only kept occasional, and not constant communion with the Iewish Church?
A61632Where lies the strength and evidence of these Scruples?
A61632Where was the Church power then lodged?
A61632Where we see plainly the inconvenience urged is endless Separation: Doth he set any kind of bounds to it?
A61632Where, say I, are the words that forbid a Liturgy, or Ceremonies?
A61632Wherefore then doth Mr. B. make so many Quaeres, about the case of those who lived under Heathen Persecutors?
A61632Wherein?
A61632Whether besides a serious profession it be not necessary to be a practical profession?
A61632Whether besides meer practical profession the positive signs of inward Grace be not necessary?
A61632Whether portions of Canonical Scripture were not better put in stead of Apocrypha Lessons?
A61632Whether profession be required for it self, or as a discovery of something further?
A61632Whether seeming seriousness in profession be sufficient, or real serio ● sness be required?
A61632Whether such Publick Worship, as may have an evil in it, antecedent to that Prohibition, may not be forbidden?
A61632Whether that ought to be taken for a true profession which is only pretended to be a true sign of the mind, or that only which is really so?
A61632Whether the Apostle speaks of different opinions, or different practises?
A61632Whether the New Translation of the Psalms were not fitter to be used, at least in Parochial Churches?
A61632Whether the Rule he gives be mutual forbearance?
A61632Whether those expressions which suppose the strict exercise of Discipline, in Burying the Dead, were not better left at liberty in our present Case?
A61632Which all men who pretended any regard to conscience ought to have an eye to: for why do they pretend conscience, but to ● void sin?
A61632Who ever denied or disputed that?
A61632Who ever denied this, where there was a prospect of converting more, as appears by the endeavours of Eulogius and Protogenes there?
A61632Who was it that combated the Heresies with which it has been at all times assaulted?
A61632Who was it that did make up its Councils, as well General, as particular?
A61632Who was it that made the truth to rise so miraculously there again?
A61632Why desire ye a Toleration?
A61632Why did he not keep to the good old Phrase of King and Parliament?
A61632Why do you also transgress the Commandment of God by your Tradition?
A61632Why do you so often cry out of the sacrilegiousness of this Schism?
A61632Why is this Dissembled and passed over?
A61632Why may not honest men be cured of their errors and mistakes, as I am perswaded these are such which they call Scruples?
A61632Why may not, saith he, an Image give warning to the Eye, when to worship God, as well as a Bell to the Ear?
A61632Why might not the People at Salem have the same liberty as those at Boston or Plymouth?
A61632Why should Caecilian be obtruded upon them?
A61632Why should it then be thought unreasonable with us, not to account those members of the Church of England, who contemn and disobey the Orders of it?
A61632Why should not they choose one, who would best advance their Edification?
A61632Why so?
A61632Why then are Infants baptized, when by reason of their tender age, they can not perform them?
A61632Why then do you make such a stir about other passages in that Book, and take so little notice of these, which are most pertinent and material?
A61632Why then should this be scrupled more than the other?
A61632Will God leave us also, even us, to the Obdurateness of Pharaoh?
A61632Will none of your Consciences now permit you either to come to the Liturgy, or to make use of any parts of it, in your own Meetings?
A61632Will nothing but Separation serve your Turn?
A61632Will they condemn so many Protestant Churches abroad, which have harder Terms of communion than we?
A61632Will they confine the Communion of Christians to their Narrow Scantlings?
A61632Will they shut out all the Lutheran Churches from any possibility of Vnion with them?
A61632Will they then Separate from all Protestant Churches?
A61632Will you make no allowance to the levity and volubility of Mens Minds?
A61632Will you proclaim you selves to be the more impatient?
A61632Would not Mr. G. Mr. B. Mr. C. and many more, think themselves concerned to stand up for their own Rights?
A61632Would one think, what unlucky Inferences he draws from hence?
A61632Would you have excommunicate men communicate with you?
A61632Yet after all, What is this to the present case of Separation in this City?
A61632Yet let us suppose all these excluded, as no competent Iudges; shall all the rest be excluded too, who are incompetent Iudges?
A61632You will ask then, where lies this horrible imposition, and intolerable usurpation?
A61632and if they were sinful, How could they who knowingly and deliberately continue in the Practice of them be innocent?
A61632and is it not equally unlawful in others, who have no more but Scruples of Conscience to plead, although they relate to different things?
A61632and sitting down, as he speaks, with purer Administrations?
A61632and supposing, that it might be done, whether it be reasonable so to doe?
A61632and what is necessary for the judging a profession to be practical?
A61632and whether the Species of our Churches be changed by Diocesan Episcopacy?
A61632and, Must the Reins be laid in their Necks, that they may run whither they please?
A61632are they lawful, or are they not?
A61632are we to expect the Laws of Men should work more upon them than the Grace of God?
A61632as true Churches, though he saith they are not?
A61632but whether in a Nation professing true Religion, some publick Worship may not be forbidden?
A61632for personal Communion, and men make another, is not this a violation of Christ''s Command, and setting up Man against God?
A61632fut ce pas le zele,& la fermeté des evéques, leur ministere?
A61632how can such a consent appear, when there are differences among our selves?
A61632how come they not to be of it for not consenting?
A61632if he crosseth their humor, and delivers such Doctrine as doth not please them; for that is generally their Standard for Heresie?
A61632in such a City of Christians, as Rome then was, where were 46 Presbyters, to pronounce it a meer nullity to have a second Bishop chosen?
A61632must it therefore be such an outward visible sign of inward invisible Grace, as the Sacraments are?
A61632or do they lose their Right to all Church- communion?
A61632or is it wire- drawn by far- fetched Consequences?
A61632or that all the Christians then in Carthage could have local and presential Communion, as he calls it, in one Church; and at one Altar?
A61632or the Arian Emperors, or Idolatorous Princes?
A61632or were absent, though the Croud was so great?
A61632or, Must we give that respect to the Errors of Mens Consciences, as to satisfie their Scruples, by allowance of this liberty to them?
A61632or, Who have Written more against them?
A61632or, do we kneel before it, as Mr. B. allows men may do before a Crucifix?
A61632shall these differences still be continued, when they may be so easily removed?
A61632that none of them went to the lesser Churches?
A61632that they might give them Power?
A61632the same Liturgy in Substance then used?
A61632then, saith he, why do we not introduce Images into our Churches?
A61632was not the matter in hand about the duty of complying with an established Rule?
A61632when St. Antholins, St. Peters, St. Bartholomews, at which Gilby saith their great Preaching then was, were like to be left destitute of such Men?
A61632when the matter of fact is proved by other Epistles?
A61632whether every single Congregation hath all Church- power wholly in it self, and unaccountably, as to subordination to any other?
A61632who had Written so much against it, when others, who are now so fierce, were afraid to appear?
A61632why are no Anabaptists or Quakers permitted among them?
A61632why had not Mr. Williams his liberty of Separation as well as they?
A61632would Mr. B. seek a Cause to express his anger against me?
A61632you would have Men enslave their Iudgments and consciences to others, would you?
A61632you would have us be meer Brutes to be managed by your Bit and Bridle?
A26924& c. Do you think that all will consent in all the Mysteries of Divinity, while knowledge is so low and rare?
A26924& c. Doth it follow that all rapists are rebels?
A26924& c. and you may hear how many others come near to the same Case: And must so famous a City as L ● ndon be Paganized or made so Atheistical?
A26924( And little know we of What Religion their Successors will be, or who will have the choosing of them?
A2692423. that all their Forefathers persecutions should be punished on that Generation?
A269243. Who be they that have caused and continued it after 27 Years Experience of the effects?
A269244. Who is it troubles the Land with their things Indifferent?
A2692447. Who is it that was, or is able to cure all these our divisions?
A26924ARe we not on all sides agreed that we are Mortals posting to the Grave?
A26924Ad hominem I need not dispute it?
A26924All power may be abused; shall we have no King, no Judge, or Justice, or Bishops, because they may abuse their power?
A26924And I ask such Doctors what baptism doth for the Infants at present and on what account?
A26924And I pray you tell us where and when it is that men must obey this rule?
A26924And are not most of your hearers such as you think have least need?
A26924And are not the Church- wardens bound to present all these Thousands, that have no Room?
A26924And are not these to pay to the Church, that can not come in it; and the Weak that can not stand and can get no Seats?
A26924And are not those over- subject to Prelacy that will Swear Obedience in this, any more than against Preaching the Gospel?
A26924And are our Bishops Books more faultless?
A26924And are our Convocation more infallible than General Councils?
A26924And are they not all then hereby bound?
A26924And are you willing to renounce Justice, Humanity and Christianity, and openly to profess Diabolism?
A26924And at what age must this perfect knowledge begin, which must extend to the most minute things that men will command?
A26924And can Ten thousand Ministers then be certain by Scripture that baptized Infants are saved?
A26924And can any Minister be supposed to have more interest in, or influence on his Hearers, than a Father hath on his Son?
A26924And did not the Papists always know that our Love and Concord would be our strength, and their terrour?
A26924And do all understand and keep this Vow?
A26924And do not all the Idolatrous Heathens, and the Mahometans, offer their God some publick Worship?
A26924And do you think that Christ will stand to such an Excommunication?
A26924And do you think that for such fear, and not acting against them we deserve to be cast out as heinous uncapable delinquents?
A26924And do you think that one Lord- Keeper is fitter to be trusted with the Safety of the Kingdom, than a Parliament and all the Courts of Justice?
A26924And do you think that the Mass is no Conventicle, or more lawful than the forbidden assemblies of Protestants?
A26924And do you think that the effect of Spanish and Italian Tyranny and Concord, doth answer the cost?
A26924And do you think then that to deprive the Church of this is a lawful part of Conformity?
A26924And doth not this contain a Fear of sinning?
A26924And for the people to be put to question whether they may chuse them for Parliament men?
A26924And for what?
A26924And for what?
A26924And for what?
A26924And for what?
A26924And for what?
A26924And hath a Christian Prince any more power to hinder the Gospel and Worship of Christ, and the saving of Souls, than Heathens had?
A26924And have you done well to judge before you heard and tryed?
A26924And how can it be expected that he who thinks not Holiness desireable to himself, should think it any excellency in others?
A26924And how can these admonish the Offenders, or the Minister exercise this discipline upon unknown Persons?
A26924And how is Christ''s discipline here possible?
A26924And how oft have a great part of the Greek Churches been guilty of it?
A26924And if Meeting- Chapels be wanting, why do not the great and rich Conformists build them?
A26924And if any of them have a scrupulous errour about a Pastor, must they therefore be Ruined, Excommunicated or Forsaken?
A26924And if my Service be at an end, why not my Life also?
A26924And if we prove Ionasses, may we not expect to meet with Storms more terrible than Jails?
A26924And if you would not say to such, You shall have the Physician which the Patron chooseth or none; Why should you say so of the Pastor?
A26924And is it any wonder then if they scorn both Him and us?
A26924And is it just to wish it had been all undone, and the like of many hundred others?
A26924And is it lawful to Assent and Consent to such orders of Baptism as cherish this?
A26924And is it no sinful omission think you for all the rest to forbear all this?
A26924And is it not a calling fixed during life and ability, not to be cast off at pleasure?
A26924And is it not all one, as to say, if any good be done by Church- Government, it is by the Magistrate''s Sword, and not by ours by the Keys?
A26924And is neither our Preaching, nor the Concord of the Churches here Necessary?
A26924And is not God''s Word a sufficient Rule of Religion?
A26924And is not all this yet enough?
A26924And is not every Chancellor, or Archdeacon, or Bishop now made as immutable necessary a part of the Kingdom as the King?
A26924And is not the King''s life and welfare the interest of the Kingdom?
A26924And is not the perfidious Violation of it, a most damning Sin?
A26924And is not the scrupling of a thing called by others Indifferent, a mote in the eye of many truly godly persons?
A26924And is not this commendable, and to be cherished?
A26924And is not this enough?
A26924And is not this to shut all, or almost all men out of Heaven?
A26924And is striving or mutual Love and Quietness, a fitter Passage to the dust?
A26924And is there not a Concord in their way among the enslaved ignorant Muscovites, and among the Turks, and many Heathens?
A26924And is this power more concerned in any thing than in the saving of our Souls?
A26924And know you not that few men then living wrote and spake more plainly against the Usurpation than he did?
A26924And may I not hope that the Bishops will be for it?
A26924And may not these come to the Altar when they please?
A26924And may they be resisted till they shew their Commissions?
A26924And may we say that King and Parliament do what these do?
A26924And must I tell them all that none of them is bound to keep it in that sound sence?
A26924And must all p ● or Souls have no other Pastors than these men will chuse?
A26924And must love God above all, our neighbours as our selves, and must do as we would be done by?
A26924And must not Christians publickly worship Christ?
A26924And must we all confederate to maintain this Church Corruption; and all agree to renounce Reformation, or any Conviction tending to Repentance?
A26924And must we damn, and cut off men for that which the very Papists leave at liberty?
A26924And must we renounce communion with them all?
A26924And no Wiser Law and Gospel that He hath left us?
A26924And now what mean you by saying that every Man must not be left to chuse what Religion he list?
A26924And of Preaching, Fasting and Praying?
A26924And on what sort of Men?
A26924And quo jure?
A26924And shall all the Lords, Gentlemen and People be therefore punished as Conventiclers?
A26924And shall all the World be driven therefore from worshipping God?
A26924And shall all these suffer as Recusants, while the Rich that can pay for Seats, escape?
A26924And since policy hath setled it of late in Peace, what a Peace is it, and of what effect?
A26924And the Parents- Government of his Children, in order to personal and family wellfare?
A26924And the sense and experience of their Souls tells them how great the change of their condition is?
A26924And this in those that are called by men?
A26924And was it not formed according to this Canon?
A26924And were all these fools, and you only the wise men?
A26924And what a Priest is that who must be forbidden to teach the people in the Church: or there to tell Children the meaning of the Catechism?
A26924And what are other mens actions to them?
A26924And what are we better than Turks and Heathens?
A26924And what have you against this?
A26924And what if the Clergy in one Land say it is, and in another, say it is not: Must both be believed?
A26924And what if they say that we are Turks or Heathens, or have Horns and are Brutes, what remedy have we?
A26924And what is it that the unconscionable will not do, for worldly interest?
A26924And what is it that would satisfy you?]
A26924And what is that Vice?
A26924And what yet can I do worse?
A26924And when Thousands of full Age are yet to learn what Baptism is, and what they Vowed, Have they not great need to be plainly taught it?
A26924And when it''s known that they can not have it in most or many Parishes, how are they bound to live and die without the benefit of it?
A26924And where do you see any great division about any such things as these; except in cases of accidental scandal?
A26924And whether if the whole Church Government as fixed, must thus be Sworn to as Monarchy is, it alter not our Constitution?
A26924And whether no man may endeavour it in his place and calling?
A26924And who knoweth not that indifferent things are numberless, as well as small; no mortal man knoweth them all?
A26924And why are the rest that were Boys at School, accused for other Mens opinions or actions?
A26924And why call you it arrogant and dividing?
A26924And why may not an Article of Faith be newly declared?
A26924And why must that Neighbour Minister repel him?
A26924And why then are Judges Sworn not to be moved from Justice by the Great or Little Seal?
A26924And will this prove them such indeed?
A26924And will you join with none?
A26924And would they have us shut Infants from Salvation for nothing?
A26924And would you have all the Christian World, forbid one another to Worship God, till they all agree?
A26924And would you have all these Thousands turn Atheists, or live more impiously than Mahometans?
A26924And would you have us so unthankful to God, who hath blest us, as to cast away our Callings?
A26924And yet must we have more, even as necessary to Ministry?
A26924And you know that till of late years the Press was shut up to us: But have you seriously read and studyed what is written by us?
A26924And you see that the Oxford Convocation condemn the writings and principles of the Doctors of the Church of England as well as others?
A26924And, Why doth the Article of the Church of England condemn those that hold, That all may be saved in their several Religions?
A26924Are not all Men on Earth bound solemnly to worship the God that made them?
A26924Are not all those sad effects of turning a Church into a Prison, and forcing men to seem to take that which Christ professeth he doth not give them?
A26924Are not most of them in the Parishes where there is room?
A26924Are not these two very contrary?
A26924Are not they obliged to get Godfathers and Godmothers for them?
A26924Are not those unworthy Ministers that be not fit to be trusted to Fast and Pray with their People, while the Law is open to punish all abuses of it?
A26924Are there no other?
A26924Are these the patterns that you would have us imitate?
A26924Are they not more miserable that are content to stay at home?
A26924Are we not all Vowed to God in our Baptism, renouncing the Seduction of the World, the Flesh and the Devil?
A26924Are we not of the same Religion with the Magistrates and Bishops?
A26924Are you not bound in order to peace, to Assent and Consent to all things in the Books?
A26924Are you such your selves?
A26924Art they therefore Schismaticks indeed?
A26924As if he had said, As ever you loved me, feed those whom I loved to the Death: Would you unmercifully wish us to renounce our love to Christ?
A26924Baptising is Christening, and dare I causelessly deprive a Soul of visible Christianity?
A26924Be such things imposed as Indifferent?
A26924But I further ask you, Do you think the Law of Man, or a Commission can abrogate the Law of Nature?
A26924But I next ask, whether the Body of a Kingdom have by Gods Law of Nature a self- defending power against its notorious assaulting Foes?
A26924But If you limit this Rule to Christians, is it to all Christians?
A26924But can that be true?
A26924But do you not thus make Examination by Ministers necessary to the Sacrament?
A26924But do you think that endeavours to alter Church Government is any of your lawful or necessary Matter?
A26924But here is no difficulty?
A26924But how easy were it with others, without sin, or cost to cure all?
A26924But if they grant this, and yet will not grant it, but seek to ruine them that seek it, are they not unexcuseable?
A26924But it is the Parent that is compelled?
A26924But mu ● ● you needs own every petition in the Assembly?
A26924But must we trust every Man that shews a Seal, that he did not counterfeit it?
A26924But what are these easy intelligible Circumstances to all the Ceremonies unnecessary even in genere?
A26924But what is your other reason against our sort of Godfathers?
A26924But what''s that to us?
A26924But when he heard from Heaven, Why persecutest thou me?
A26924But where hath he said, I will save all Infidels Children, if any Priest or Christian will but Baptize them?
A26924But who giveth this exposition?
A26924But why do you refuse to renounce all the Obligation of the Covenant, if you are not disloyal?
A26924But will you use Sobriety a little further?
A26924But, Sir, Who be they that were thus deceived?
A26924By what Obligation?
A26924Cain was of that wicked one, and slew his Brother; And why slew he him?
A26924Can men believe what others list because they bid us?
A26924Can the medicine be laudable that so many miscarry in the use of it?
A26924Can those Canons and Orders be blameless that without any more opposition, let such perfidiousness go to our Christening?
A26924Can we touch Pitch and not be defiled?
A26924Can you do it?
A26924Can you force men to Repent, or rather Lye?
A26924Chillingworth would not Subscribe without a limitting Profession: Was he therefore none of the Church?
A26924Dare you give it under your hands that you will bear the punishment if we be condemned for obeying you and ceasing our work?
A26924Dare you undertake to justify at the Bar of God, the many hundred Ministers forbidden to Preach, if they obey you and cease their Ministery?
A26924Did Christ or his Apostles ever do or perswade such a thing?
A26924Did God ever give it them?
A26924Did I not before tell you why?
A26924Did none that are for separation from the Church of England take the Corporation- Oath and Declaration?
A26924Did not the Church for 300 years, worship God against the will of Princes, and afterward, when Arrian, or other erroneous Princes forbid them?
A26924Did the Church do so for 300 years?
A26924Did the King of Portugal''s Brother and Lords answer the trust reposed in them, when they Deposed and imprisoned him?
A26924Did the Primitive- Churches for 300 years use any Sword but Spiritual?
A26924Did these go back from Covenant Reformation or Duty, when they could have no better?
A26924Did we devise them?
A26924Did we use any such Argument in our Dispute with the Bishops?
A26924Did you think I had pleaded that Men may without punishment do what they list, and live in wickedness?
A26924Divers of the Nobility are accused: Must all Noble- men be therefore reproached?
A26924Do none of these bind you but the first?
A26924Do not Papists call them Schismaticks and Hereticks too, as long and as loud as they call us so?
A26924Do not all Christians believe, That the Knowledge of God, our Creator and Redeemer, and a holy Heart, and Life are of necessity to our Salvation?
A26924Do not all Men, constrained by natural Conscience, at a dying Hour, repent of hurting others, and ask Forgiveness of all the World?
A26924Do not all our Ministers Preach for Obedience and Godliness?
A26924Do not the Martyrs freely lay down their lives?
A26924Do these Men know what Souls are worth?
A26924Do they de facto keep them out?
A26924Do they ever since avoid Communion with all those men?
A26924Do they know us better than we our selves?
A26924Do they not kneel after and longer to God in Prayers publickly, and in their Families and Chambers, than most that blame them?
A26924Do they not know that the argument that hath brought us all into the case that we are in, was thus given us 1664. and oft since in Print?
A26924Do they not then here shew Partiality, and themselves justify our Communion with the Conformists?
A26924Do those that watch, accuse and ruin us, want will to find out our false or ill Doctrine?
A26924Do we impose them on any, and say, Vse our things indifferent, or we will Silence you, or Excommunicate you, and lay you in Iayl with Rogues?
A26924Do we not see, That Children are not born with Knowledge, nor free from fleshly and worldly Inclinations?
A26924Do you believe our Church Articles and yet deny original sin?
A26924Do you believe that he is the Author of the Christian Baptism?
A26924Do you believe that the great Parish Ministers need no help?
A26924Do you know how God maketh Marriages?
A26924Do you know how many, and what sort of men the Patrons in England are that chuse them?
A26924Do you know the case of our Parishes or not?
A26924Do you know who giveth the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London their Power?
A26924Do you mean that I may except them in words or writing, or only mentally?
A26924Do you not believe that it is his Prerogative to institute Sacraments of the covenant of Grace?
A26924Do you not seem hereby to intimate unjustly that all this is denied you?
A26924Do you that think it is necessary to Christianity and Salvation know that this Federal Crossing is lawful?
A26924Do you think Men that believe not a God and a Life to come are fit for Church Communion, and may be forced to it?
A26924Do you think all is Evil that is there Vowed?
A26924Do you think any Church on Earth to be faultless?
A26924Do you think it is lawful to omit all Duty that is not essential to the Church?
A26924Do you think it not contrary to our Baptismal Vow, in which we promise Obedience to Christ to our lives end?
