A35408( for so much I believe all traders do,) Is it not reasonable the lender should have at least one half thereof?
A35408And do not all good Land lords allow for bad times, nay even for very bad years?
A35408And do you not believe his account?
A35408And doth not this, by your own allowance come pretty neer my account?
A35408And hath not their ruine made much of our Land lie waste, and more be ill husbanded?
A35408And have not most Usurers treated and purchased accordingly?
A35408And if building be so generally profitable, as you suppose, will any man, in case of disability, obstinately incurre it by not selling?
A35408And is it not much, that it should still do so, considering the extremities of some, and moderation of others?
A35408And is not the pinching of Usury in rate and taxes the readiest way to make them free, that is forward to purchase?
A35408And may not I observe, how the Builders tongues are confounded?
A35408And may not such sales and payments soon clear and contract the number of debts and debtours?
A35408And may not trade so founded easily exceed in its importation?
A35408And must not such decay starve our exportation?
A35408And must not such waste miserably impair and decay our Growth?
A35408And that our old Foxes are so well aware of it, as to preferre English Mutton before outlandish Venison?
A35408And why should they grudge the Commonwealth its due to preserve their own?
A35408And will not few exigents make sellers thin?
A35408And will not such clearing of debts in time make few exigents?
A35408And will not the thinnesse of sellers, even by your own confession marvellously rayse Land?
A35408Are not all Land- lords even now upon Abatement, and glad at any rates to get tenants, though surely not so sufficient as yours?
A35408But as for the Feats and projects which you so deride, I again affirm, they are not Monstrous, but most natural, even so familiar?
A35408But let the serpent hisse, so his sting be out; And what is the sting of Usury,( if at least it be nót all sting) but its disproportionable Rate?
A35408But say I, do you neither hire nor let?
A35408But though neither compounder, nor formerly in debt, can he well be imagined a clear man, having lived so long in effect upon the main?
A35408But what can this discover?
A35408By what rare Arts shall we keep the knowledge of this hidden vein from them, will not they, if that will do, take the same course?
A35408Do they not freely discount for taxes and extraordinary burthens?
A35408Doth not my Adversary himself press for such discovery, Page 5?
A35408Doth not publick welfare mainly depend on the avoyding of oppression by equality of Taxes?
A35408Go to prison?
A35408He workes not if he can chuse, and in effect tell us, if you find working so good, work your selves; Is not this a witty answer from a Labourer?
A35408If any pretend, it is hard for the Creditour to be so paenally compelled to taxe himself; I answer, what remedy?
A35408If our Taxes and Burthens had been equally born, must not the due Rate of Land have been maintained, to at least 24. years Purchase?
A35408If then he work in dear years, take his ease in cheap, and cast himself upon the Parish in age or sickness, doth he not very discreetly?
A35408If they do, where is their prejudice?
A35408If they plead, mens ability or weakenesse will be thereby discovered, is it not fit, say I, it should?
A35408Is it not the proper language of Orthodoxe Goalers to scare their Prisoners with Gibets or Dungeons, if they offer to attempt an escape?
A35408Is not the Prejudice to King and Kingdom finally as great, but the immediate wrong to neighbours palpably greater?
A35408Is not the improvement of Land, and support of Gentry farre more considerable to his Majesties service, then any pretence of Usurers can be?
A35408Is there a Borrower without a lender?
A35408Let his neighbour sinke?
A35408May it not yet be seasonable,( because profitable, and most just,) to expose money at Interest to publick Taxes and Duties?
A35408May not an Indifferent Charity suppose, that the Land- lord may be now incumbred, and Tenant impoverished, without rank Prodigality?
A35408Must we not impute this suspension of our utter ruine to our intermediate growth of trade by our last fall of Usury, and its exemption from new Clogs?
A35408My surly host, when I question his Reckoning, may as well reply, who sent for you?
A35408Nay will he not make hard shift to borrow upon security, which, I must tell you, is that which only, ever did, and ever shall command money?
A35408Neither build nor repayre?
A35408Neither entertain nor eat?
A35408Neither plant nor enclose?
A35408Neither sell nor buy?
A35408Neither wear nor cloath Neither travel nor sojourn?
A35408T. C. Are not Usurers ever the first to reproach Gentlemen at least with folly, for not sinking their Rents, if they but seem too dear for the Land?
A35408T. C. But are wages higher with us then our neighbours?
A35408T. C. Hath not the wisdom of the Law provided at least against such willfull defaulters, by a forfeiture and lapse of time, perfixed?
A35408T. C. What an errour was that of mine to think, that old experienced men with great stocks were the best Merchants?
A35408T. M. But how will this Rayse a Farme now 100 l. per annum to 130 l. in the future?
A35408T. M. But in good earnest, shall we undersel our neighbours, and will they long endure it?
A35408T. M. But will you not by way of gratitude and requital allow the Vsurer a liberal reward for hazards as great as an East- India Voyage?
A35408T. M. Can we well hope, that any thing but severe laws can make half the nation wise in this particular?
A35408T. M. Do you not lay an unreasonable stresse upon the Interest payd by his Majesty for monies Borrowed in the late War?
A35408T. M. Do you really believé, that abatement of Vsury will rayse the Purchase and Revenue of Land, and performe such wonderful feats?
A35408T. M. Have we our selves been sensible of improvements of Land in Purchase, proportionable to the several Retrenchments of Vsury?
A35408T. M. Is it reasonable to imagine, that all men are of equal brains or education to traffick in one sort or other?
A35408T. M. Is not Interest with us the lowest by Law in Europe?
A35408T. M. Is not the greatest part of Trade driven by young men with small stocks?
A35408T. M. Is not this gratifying the Borrower with a vengeance for one years payment to eternity, out of an honest Creditours Purse?
A35408T. M. Is not this to robbe Peter to pay Paul, and as bad as stealing sheepe, and giving the Trotters to the Poor for Gods sake?
A35408T. M. Is not your answer to Widowes and Orphanes very harsh and churlish?
A35408T. M. That trade will regularly bear present Interest, who hath not observed, that the careful managers thereof have had a thriving time of it?
A35408T. M. To what neighbours Standard would you have Vsury adjusted?
A35408T. M. Was not this Worshipfull Brat of low Interest begot in the crafty noddle of a great moneyed man?
A35408T. M. What would you have him do?
A35408T. M. Where is now the treasure of the Nation, lying idle, locked up in Misers chests?
A35408T. M. Who layd this Excise, as you terme it, upon your Land, the Borrower, or the Vsurer?
A35408T. M. Who shall judge what moderate benefit the Borrower may cheerfully afford the lender?
A35408T. M. Why doe you taxe high Interest with injustice and oppression though the Law tolerate it?
A35408T. M. Will our fuell and labour which is the main charge of Iron be ever as cheap as in Sweden, though we knew not what Interest meant?
A35408T. M. Will you or any other Land- lord sink his Rent, because his Tenants complain of hard pennyworths?
A35408The Prostitute, having picked her lovers purse, may as well aske him, who sollicited you?
A35408They, it seems, were ordained still to be Usurers; But what will you now say, if four per Cent should even disappoint their Fate?
A35408To the French?
A35408Were not this, Concurrent with the fall of Usury, a likely way speedily to raise the value of Land, for want of which only the Country now droopes?
A35408Were they not, in some of our latest Acts, since his Majesties return, particularly charged by name?
A35408What is it to me, that neither lend nor borrow?
A35408What would probably have been the Purchase of Land?
A35408What?
A35408Where were the Inconvenience?
A35408Whereby, through a constant practise, Forreigners will do that for foure pence which our people will not willingly perform for six pence?
A35408Will any man now marvel at the Deadnesse, and not rather at the quicknesse of our Lands and Markets?
A35408Will not the Usurer, without due caution always, serve us with the same sawce in all future Broyles, or extraordinary Levies?
A35408break prison?
A35408drooping debtours, easy gainers, and impotent Vagrants?

A35408of his yearly income, and what hath the Usurer contributed to any of them?
A35408overplus, which, in all equity, they should have payd to the Publick?
A35408will not support our Expensive Traders?
A47873& c. would they destroy them?
A47873''T is no prophaneness( is it?)
A47873A Due Freedom, a Due Civil Liberty, The Legal Power; — What means all this, but any thing they shall be pleased to make of it?
A47873Again, What is civil Liberty to matter of salvation?
A47873Alas, alas, the Saints have no faults; what should they weep for?
A47873Allow these People all their Askings, in what concerns their Discipline, will they rest Quiet There, without a further Hankering after more?
A47873And I beseech you what is the goodly Subject of the Controversie?
A47873And a little further, Thus, The King of England is one of those Princes who hath an Imperial Crown: What''s That?
A47873And can they that attempt so great Robbery, love God, and the Power of Godlinesse?
A47873And is not the Honor and Safety of his Majesty that now is, concern''d in these Indignities upon his Murther''d Father?
A47873And what came on''t?
A47873And what solid reason withstands the Equity of this desire?
A47873Are they not troublesome as ever both in their Writings and Contrivements?
A47873Are we, because of this mis- application, prohibited to worship the true God, in the same manner, and posture?
A47873As for the Decrees and Canons of the Church, what rightful Authority doth make them, as the Law of the Medes and Persians that altereth not?
A47873Because that in some Cases even of External Discipline, the Church is limited, does it therefore follow that it is free in none?
A47873Both claiming equal Certainty, the One, from his Judgement of Discretion: the Other, from Divine Impulse?
A47873But Bishops have descended already, and what was the event of it?
A47873But are not all recesses from Truth, more dangerous: Because in every thing we can not agree with them, must we in nothing?
A47873But had the antient Stock of Royallists no hand at all in this procurement?
A47873But say they should be opposed?
A47873But to return: Can any thing be more gentle, then A Reformation, and due Regulation of things in Church and State?
A47873But what are Words where a Crown lyes at stake?
A47873But what excuse for the Matter of the Propositions?
A47873But what if there were Disorders; by whom were they caused?
A47873But what''s the Reason of this peevishness?
A47873But what''s this case to the Subject of our Debate?
A47873But who can determine the convenient number?
A47873But why do I talk to those that stop their Ears?
A47873But why do we contest?
A47873But will some say, What signifies the intemperance of Particular tongues, as to the General of the Party?
A47873By what Authority, does Presbytery pretend to unseat the Hierarchy?
A47873By what Law, or by what Equity, do these people pretend to any Interest of Establishment in England?
A47873By whom will they be tryed, or on what Judgement, and Authority will they rest?
A47873By whom?
A47873Can any man imagine this the true and conscientious reason of the Quarrel?
A47873Can any thing be more feditious?
A47873Can not Prelacy be better restored after a Discontinuance, then Presbytery erected, where it never had a Being?
A47873Can the first Cause asserted by both Houses, in opposition to his late Majesty, be justifi''d, and not the King condemn''d?
A47873Cheek by Joul?
A47873Counsels may erre, they say, and can not Presbyterians?
A47873Did ever any man say, This is Rebellion, and I''ll justifie it?
A47873Did not St. Paul become all things to all men, that by all means he might gain some?
A47873Did not the English and Scotch Presbyters go about to dissolve Monarchy?
A47873Did the English or Scotish Presbyters ever go about to dissolve Monarchy, and to erect some other kind of Government?
A47873Does he not find that all he says is nothing, unless he can see things Invisible, and prove Negatives?
A47873Has not the Regal Power been scann''d and sifted, as well as the Ecclesiastick?
A47873Here is a numerous Party not of the dregs and refuse of the Nation, but of the judicious and serious part thereof: What will they do with them?
A47873Here is yet another gentle slip: What are Taxes to Presbytery?
A47873Here is( says he) a numerous Party, of the judicious and serious part of the Nation: what will they( the Episcopalians) do with them?
A47873Here''s Exaltation, — and Subversion; — but not a syllable of Toleration: and what''s the reason of all this?
A47873How comes this Party to be more infallible than their Neighbours?
A47873If a man asks, by what Commission Act these Zelots?
A47873If it be Discipline, What''s that to the Interest of England?
A47873If the Bishops excesses were the Cause of War, how came the Kings ruine to be the effect of it?
A47873If the English Ceremonies be warrantably used, what hinders the use of divers other Ceremonies used in the Roman Church?

A47873In case of Male- Administration, either in Church, or State: Whether the People may take upon them to Reform?
A47873Is This the Work of the Spirit of Pacification?
A47873Is it Liberty of Conscience?
A47873Is it Plenty and Happiness?
A47873Is it Security?
A47873Is it frequent Parliaments?
A47873Is it not enough that the King can do nothing without the Two Houses, unless they may do every thing without the King?
A47873Is it not pity that people of these milde, and complying Principles, should be charg''d with Disobedience?
A47873Is it said, their multitude will become burthensome and inconvenient?
A47873Is it the Arriers of the Army?
A47873Is it the right Administration of Justice?
A47873Is not mistaken, or perverted Scripture, the ground of all Schism and Heresie?
A47873Is not that likely to be a blessed Reformation, where Faction dictates, and Tumults execute?
A47873Is not the World compos''d of Disagreements, Hot and Cold, Heavy and Light?
A47873Is the manner of doing any thing, part of the thing done?
A47873Is the wind in that dore?
A47873Is there any thing in the Nature of Prelacy that frames the mind to Obedience and Loyalty?
A47873It starts a scurvy Question, and makes men ask, how these people came by the right they challenge?
A47873It''s truth, they are, it seems, Assertors of Lawfull Liberty, in Lawfull waies; but how is that I pray''e?
A47873No man can rationally allow one, and condemn the other: For if the Violence be Lawful; why not as well in the Field, as upon a Scaffold?
A47873Now how a Choice thus limited in the House, and Principled in the Field, should Necessarily set us right, does not to me appear?
A47873Now would I know what need of a Civil Magistrate, when even our private thoughts are subjected to the Scrutiny of a Presbytery?
A47873Now would I know, what it is that is desired: Is it Peace?
A47873Observation Beggars must be no choosers: Must we use all, or none?
A47873Observation Do none of the Woes in the Gospel belong to this talker of it?
A47873Observation He should have rather said, where is our Providence, if we admit so sure an Introduction to Confusion?
A47873Observation I would fain know which is more tolerable; for the Church to impose upon the People, or the People upon the Church?
A47873Observation What''s this cause a kin to the third Article of the Covenant?
A47873Or by what Warrant from the word of God, does a Presbyters Religion intermeddle with Popular Liberty?
A47873Or if they did, what has the Law done to offend them?
A47873Or is there any thing in Presbytery, that inclines to Rebellion and Disobedience?
A47873Poor Worms, Where is our Charity and Regard( they crye) to publick tranquillitie, if we reject the sure and only means of Concord?]
A47873Shall Ministers of this judgment be cast and kept out of Ecclesiastical Preferment and Employment?
A47873Shall Protestants destroy Protestants,( says he) for dissenting in the point of Ceremonies?
A47873Shall all private Conferences of Godly Peaceable Christians, for mutual edification, be held unlawful Conventicles?
A47873So were the Frogs that came into the King''s Chamber: and what of that?
A47873Still ad Populum?
A47873Suppose He breaks that Law, by what Law can we question him?
A47873The Service of God went merrily on, in the Thorough Reformation; did it not?
A47873They are afraid that would be granted; and how should they do then to pick a quarrel?
A47873They move for such as they believe will Tumult: if not, where lies the Hazzard?
A47873To mind the peevish of old Grievances, and in so doing to transport the honest with a just sense of new indignities; Is this the way of Peace?
A47873Very good, and to whom the Government of the State?
A47873Was not this Imputation, by the same Party, cast upon the late King, and with the same measure of Confidence and Bitterness?
A47873What could be spoken against any thing more effectual to stir hatred, then that which sometimes the antient Fathers in this case spake?
A47873What does he mean by even Ballancing?
A47873What if Six Presbyterians of Seven renounce his Moderation, and say he treated without Commission: where''s his Pacifick Coalition then?
A47873What if the Cross hath been abused?
A47873What if the Two Church- parties, can Agree, or what if they Can not?
A47873What in effect do these people now desire, but that his Majesty would rather take their Counsel, than his Fathers?
A47873What is all this to say?
A47873What is that Liberty he talks of, but a more colourable title to a Tumult?
A47873What is that Soveraign Power, which he abhorrs should be resisted by the Tumults of the People?
A47873What is the Analysis of Monarchy, but a Government by a Single Person?
A47873What means this application then of so many factious Sermons, and Libels to the People?
A47873What now if these Disciplinarians prove no Protestants?
A47873What provocation have these restless People, now to revive This Question: but an unruly Impotency of Passion against the Government?
A47873What rightful Authority?
A47873What says the Incomparable Hooker, in this point?
A47873What signifies their talk of Number, Power, Resolution, but a false Muster of the Faction, to make a party with the Rabble?
A47873What then?
A47873What was the Covenant, but a Popular Sacrament of Religious Disobedience, a Mark of Discrimination, who were against the King, and who were for him?
A47873What will its design be from age to age, but to uphold and advance his own pomp and potency?
A47873What''s more familiar then for a couple of Curs to hunt the same Hare, and when they have catch''d her, worry one another for the Quarry?
A47873Whether in Justice or Reason of State the Presbyterian party should be Rejected and Depressed, or Protected and Encouraged?
A47873Whether it be a Protestant Opinion, that the Hierarchy is Antich ● istian?
A47873Whether or no the Government of the Church by Archbishops& Bishops — be Antichristian, or Unlawful?
A47873Whether such Laws of Humane Institution, as neither contradict the general Laws of Nature, nor any Positive Law in Scripture, be binding or no?
A47873Which shall we credit, Words, or Deeds?
A47873Who Vnderstands it first?
A47873Who kept the King from his Parliament?
A47873Who of the Royal Party charges them?
A47873Why should I remember that he''s a Priest( says my Lord) if he forgets it himself?
A47873Why, if he would be quiet, who says the contrary?
A47873Will not this Argument from Search and Practice, absolve them from Obedience to the King, as well as to the Church?
A47873Will they not Bite; where they pretend to Kiss?
A47873Would they destroy them?
A47873Written by J. C. Observation I would fain know what is meant by, The Matter of Religion, as it stands here related to Civil Interest?

A47873shall all private conferences of godly, peaceable Christians, for mutual edification, be held unlawful Conventicles?
A47873till by their mean Abuse of his unlimited Concessions, he lost his Crown, and Life?
A47873what did the late King Grant; or rather, what Deny?
A47873what hindered then the Settlement of this Nation upon its legal Basis,( as they phrase it) if the good people had but had a mind to it?
A47873would they bear them down, or keep them under hard conditions?
A47873— And yet we see those Oppositions are by the means of middle, and Conciliating mixtures wrought into a Compliance?
