A47289 | *''T is a great offence, to bind a Roman; a more heinous one to scourge him; and what name can be hard enough for the Crucifixion of him? |
A47289 | And accordingly, when Persecution comes, whose business is to force away these worldly goods from Religion, it asks, What will become of Religion? |
A47289 | And if our Governors have no Authority for their Invasion: since we are to be subject only to Authority, is there any Obligation on us for Submission? |
A47289 | And may we not make Resistance, against unautoritative Acts? |
A47289 | And on the other hand, to abate the advantage of worldly Peace and Possessions, are not they too liable to carnalize and corrupt the Spirits of men? |
A47289 | And what doth his Autority give him, as to that particular illegal Act? |
A47289 | And what if there is something, to bar such Resistance, in the Person? |
A47289 | And what is it, that a Civil Law doth, towards this way of its Defence? |
A47289 | And what redress for the Invasions and breach of Laws, when they do amiss? |
A47289 | And when were they more, or better, in the places where Christianity prevail''d, than in those first and persecuting Ages? |
A47289 | BUT when our Rulers invade us against Right, say* some, What Authority is there in their Invasions? |
A47289 | But if the King has no Autority, to justifie the illegal Suffering; has he any Autority, to bar the illegal Sufferers resisting? |
A47289 | But what becomes of submission, when they fall thus to resisting? |
A47289 | But what doth his Autority give, to the illegal Act, or Order? |
A47289 | But what is this Defence of Courts, by being a Civil Right, to Natural Defence, or defending it by Force of Arms? |
A47289 | Do not the worldly Possessions, which were design''d to encourage men in the way and ministry of Religion, too oft steal their hearts away from it? |
A47289 | Doth it authorize the Subjects in an illegal thing? |
A47289 | Doth the Law give him Autority to break it self? |
A47289 | For when they said, have we not charged you over and over, that you should not teach in this Name? |
A47289 | For when was it ever better for the Church, than in the first Ages, when they run thro the most, and forest Persecutions? |
A47289 | For whence must that Law have such Authority? |
A47289 | For where are the Crosses, what place for Patience, or what provocation to Resistance, under the Maintainers of Rights or righteous Rulers? |
A47289 | Has any Man Authority to invade our Rights? |
A47289 | If a Man suffers illegally, they will demand by what Law? |
A47289 | If it be asked, What is a Kings Autority, when he doth such illegal Acts? |
A47289 | If we stick at this, say some, what will become of our Ministry, and the exercise thereof? |
A47289 | If, when ye suffer for your faults, ye take that patiently, what glory is it to you? |
A47289 | Is it from God? |
A47289 | Is it lawful for you, says he, as they bound him with Thongs, to scourge a Man that is a Roman, and uncondemn''d? |
A47289 | Is not that best for the Church, which makes the most and the best good Christians? |
A47289 | It may be asked still, has he it from the Law of the Land? |
A47289 | Nay, if we come to make Comparisons, where are the Sayings against it, under any such Kings, so numerous and express? |
A47289 | Not from God; for if his Law carries his Autority,( and where doth he display his Autority, if not in his Laws?) |
A47289 | The Cup, which my Father hath given me, shall I not Drink it? |
A47289 | Unde qui inter duas Laurus obsident Caesarem? |
A47289 | Were not those times, a continual, and vast increase, of fresh Converts? |
A47289 | Were they not all from among your selves, Heathen Romans, but no Christians? |

A47289 | Whence came those Crosses, so much as from the Persecuting Powers? |
A47289 | Whence were the Adherents of Cassius, and Niger, and Albinus? |
A47289 | Whence, say they, in an illegal Act, has a Sovereign Prince this Autority? |
A47289 | or make the Law, which forbids it, cease to be a Rule to them? |
A47289 | with Parthenius and Sigerius, who Conspired against Domitian? |
A47289 | † Ob quam causam, Dii immortales? |
A47289 | † Unde Cassii,& Nigri,& Albini? |
A59793 | 21, 22, 23 v. Art thou called, being a servant? |
A59793 | And allow that saying of David to be Scripture still, Who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord''s Anointed, and be guiltless? |
A59793 | And as for the new Covenant, where does that grant any new franchises and liberties to subjects? |
A59793 | And how could so innocent a person die, but by the hands of unjust and Tyrannical powers? |
A59793 | And the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it? |
A59793 | And what follows from hence? |
A59793 | And who were these powers St. Peter resisted? |
A59793 | But does not the Apostle expresly tell them, Ye are bought with a price, be not ye the servants of men? |
A59793 | But how should these subordinate Governours come by this power to resist their Prince? |
A59793 | But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |
A59793 | But now is it likely, that if David had had any designe to have fortified Keilah against Saul, he would have been afraid of the men of the Citie? |
A59793 | But was the Doctrine of resistance more scandalous ▪ than the Doctrine of the Cross? |
A59793 | But what follows from hence? |
A59793 | But what is it they would prove from these words? |
A59793 | But what is this now to us? |
A59793 | But what now is all this to subjection to Soveraign Princes? |
A59793 | But would it not also have made more converts? |
A59793 | But you will say, What is this to such an absolute subjection to Princes as includes Non- resistance in it? |
A59793 | By him? |
A59793 | By what Law then? |
A59793 | Can there be no wise reason given, why God may advance a bad man to be a Prince? |
A59793 | Did his doing well, make it ill for us to do as he did? |
A59793 | Did they think this so scandalous a Doctrine, that they were afraid or ashamed to publish it to the world? |
A59793 | Does he set any narrower bounds or limits, than what the Heathen Princes challenged? |
A59793 | Does the Apostle exhort the Christians too to throw off the civil powers? |
A59793 | For indeed, can any thing be plainer than our Saviour''s answer? |
A59793 | For indeed, how can people, who have no power of Government themselves, give that power, which they have not? |
A59793 | For is the power of victorious Rebels and Usurpers from God? |
A59793 | For what authoritie has a wicked and persecuting Law? |
A59793 | For what does the discontent of the greatest Ministers signifie, who can raise no forces to oppose their Prince? |
A59793 | For what glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? |
A59793 | For when they had chose a King, did God cease to be the King of Israel? |
A59793 | How does it follow, that because Princes are chose by the people, therefore they derive their power from them, and are accountable to them? |
A59793 | How now does David behave himself in this extremity? |
A59793 | How then can you prove from the duty of praying for Kings, that it is in no case lawful to resist them? |
A59793 | My other question is this, Whether a Prince have any more authority to make wicked and persecuting Laws, than to persecute without Law? |
A59793 | Now how does the death of Christ, by expiating our sins, deliver us from subjection to our civil Governours? |
A59793 | Now what is it, that makes the person of a King more inviolable and unaccountable than other men? |
A59793 | Now why should he entertain these men, but to defend himself against the forces of Saul? |
A59793 | Or that Christ, when he made us free, did deliver us from the subjection of men? |
A59793 | Shall he who was so famous for miracles, who gave eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame? |
A59793 | Tell us therefore, what thinkest thou? |
A59793 | The Apostle tells us, that the King is supreme; but over whom is he supreme? |
A59793 | The Case of mixt Communion: Whether it be Lawful to Separate from a Church upon the account of promiscuous Congregations and mixt Communions? |
A59793 | Therefore? |
A59793 | This example Iezebel threatned Iehu with: Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? |
A59793 | What can be said more expresly against resistance than this? |
A59793 | What course does he take to secure himself from Saul? |
A59793 | What shall it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, which is something more than a single Crown and Kingdom, and loose his own Soul? |
A59793 | Whence then does an illegal act or Judgement derive its authoritie and obligation? |
A59793 | Where the word of a King is, there is power; and who may say unto him, What dost thou? |
A59793 | Whether God can not by a great many unknown ways, determine the choice of the people, to that Person, whom he has before chosen himself? |
A59793 | Whether God does nothing, but what he does by an immediate power? |
A59793 | Whether he can not appoint and choose an Emperor, unless he does it by a Voice from Heaven, or sends an Angel to set the Crown upon his head? |
A59793 | Whether the Laws of God and Nature be not as sacred and inviolable as the Laws of our Country? |
A59793 | Which is the greatest and most merciless Tyrant? |
A59793 | Who are most likely to abuse their power? |
A59793 | Why he was born of mean and obscure parents, and chose a poor and industrious life, and an accursed and infamous death? |
A59793 | Will you lift up your hand against God? |
A59793 | Would this have offended Princes, and make them more implacable enemies to Christianitie? |
A59793 | a Covetous and Rapacious Prince, or an insolent Army, and hungry Rabble? |
A59793 | a Nero or Dioclesian, or a pitcht Battel? |
A59793 | an Hereditary Prince, or the People, who are fond of innovations? |
A59793 | an arbitrary and lawless Prince, or a Civil War? |
A59793 | and can any thing be a Doctrine of the Gospel, which is truly scandalous? |
A59793 | and did he not receive the Laws and Rules of Government from him? |
A59793 | and does our praying for them, make it unlawful to resist and oppose their unjust violence? |
A59793 | and how can this be maintained, but by a Revenue proportionable to the expence? |
A59793 | and how soon would this have made the Doctrine of Non- resistance useless and out of date, by making Christians powerful enough to resist? |
A59793 | and who gave it this authoritie? |
A59793 | are we not bound to pray for all our Enemies and Persecutors? |
A59793 | by God? |
A59793 | by whom? |
A59793 | can not we pray for any man, without making him our absolute and Soverain Lord? |
A59793 | did Oliver Cromwell receive his power from God? |
A59793 | does it hence follow, therefore we may resist and oppose them, if they do? |
A59793 | does not he know how to rule us? |
A59793 | for can the Apostle be thought absolutely to condemn resistance, if he makes it only unlawful to resist when we want power to conquer? |
A59793 | how does an illegal sentence pronounced by a Judge, come to have any Authoritie? |
A59793 | how to chuse a Prince for us? |
A59793 | is it lawful to give Tribute to Caesar, or not? |
A59793 | is not the Prince as much bound to observe the Laws of God and Nature, as the Laws of his Country? |
A59793 | or ask him, Why hast thou done so? |
A59793 | or of whose hands have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? |
A59793 | or whom have I defrauded? |
A59793 | or whose Ass have I taken? |
A59793 | some illegal Taxes, or Plunderings, Decimations, and Sequestrations? |
A59793 | that Non- resistance is no duty, because it may possibly be attended with evil consequences? |
A59793 | that our subjection to men is inconsistent with our freedom in Christ? |
A59793 | the Prince, or the people? |
A59793 | to be the slaves and Vassals, the scorn and the Triumph of insolent Tyrants? |
A59793 | was it impossible for Infinite wisdom to have laid a more glorious and triumphant scene of our redemption? |
A59793 | was not the King God''s Anointed? |
A59793 | was not their King Gods Minister and Vicegerent, as their Rulers and Judges were before? |
A59793 | was there no possible way, but the condescension and sufferings of his own Son? |
A59793 | were we born for this very end, to suffer death by Herods and Pontius Pilates? |
