A502511, 2, 3, But many have the word, and yet never attain to faith, What may be the reason herof?
A5025114. who can dwell with that devouring fyre?
A5025120. can any man imagin that here to bear iniquity should signifie to bear it away from himself or from another?
A5025121. he was made sinn for us, God hath laid on him the iniquity of us all?
A5025126. but how could he be so, if he should justifie us otherwise then by a righteousness which is exact& perfect?
A5025129. when hee giveth quietness, who can make trouble?
A5025144. how c ● … n ● … ee believe, who seek honour one of another, an ● … seek not the honour ● … t commeth from God only?
A50251And how is that meant, when faith is said to be imputed?
A50251And if the question be, But how may I do to believe?
A50251And is it possible they should have any faith, or any true desire of faith, who do no more esteem the meanes therof?

A50251But what is the work of the Gospel in the begetting of faith?
A50251But what need; much to be said for the comforting of believers?
A50251But what shall be said to Abram, Isaak, Jacob, David, and the rest of the Saints, that lived long afore the Incarnation of Christ?
A50251By what means may this faith be attained?
A50251Did Abram never believe afore now?
A50251For are we not all believers in Christ?
A50251For it seems God doth not save us without satisfaction to himself?
A50251For the explication of this point, it may first of all be demanded, What is the Gospel?
A50251For the meaning of the words; It may be first of all demanded, VVhat is me ● … t by Abrams believing in the LORD?
A50251For who can clear a man but the Judg?
A50251How beautifull are the feet of such men?
A50251How shall a man swim as long as he feels the ground with his feet?

A50251If then the righteousness of Christ be imputed to us, What was that righteousness of Christ that is imputed?
A50251If this righteousness be imputed to us, doth it not then follow that we are as righteous as Christ?
A50251It is God tha ● … justifieth, who is he that condem ● … th?
A50251May I?
A50251May not faith be wrought by the Law?
A50251Now how are we made sinners by the sinn of Adam?
A50251Now how was Christ made a sinner by our sinn?
A50251Now what is the Gospel, but the doctrine or glad tidings of salvation by Christ?
A50251Reas: 3 The thing that must justifie us, must be a perfect righteousness, as was shewed before; else how shall God be just in justifying us therby?
A50251So that our sinns were the cause of his sufferings; which consideration should be a means& motive for the awaking of our hearts with godly sorrow?
A50251VVhat needs this?
A50251VVhat shall then be thought of them that lightly esteem the word of God?
A50251VVhy then is this mentioned now, as if he had not been a justified believer before?
A50251What can be more free then gift?
A50251What though there be righteousness and merit inough in Christ?
A50251and how commeth it to pass that they are pardoned& justified in heaven, and not in their own consciences also?
A50251and that every believer is a redeemer and saviour of others?

A50251and whether he bare any punishment due to us for our sinns?
A50251can it stand with justice that one should be punished for anothers sin and the innocent for the guilty?
A50251dáre I, saith the soul, apprehend the promise and receive Christ?
A50251how shall he build his house upon the rock, as long as the sand is not by deep digging removed and cast away?
A50251may I do it?
A50251may I do the will of God?
A50251we sure are not Infidels?
A50251which is as if one should say, may I obey the Commandement of God?
A50251who can forgive the debt but the creditor?
A50251who can stand with those everlasting burnings?
A50251will not they be forward of themselves to take the comfort of their justification?
A30137A type in what?
A30137Again, what is man that he should be clean?
A30137And are you able thus to imitate him?
A30137And though he did so many Miracles among them, yet they believed him not: But what should they believe?
A30137And will God indeed dwell with Men on the Earth, faith Solomon?
A30137And would you be doing this?
A30137Any thing but truth; But I would know how sincerely Righteous they were that were Justified without Works?
A30137As to the Second Head ▪ What need is there, that the Righteousness of Christ should be Imputed, where men are Righteous first?
A30137Believing what?
A30137Besides, the threatning being pressed with an HOW shall we escape?
A30137But doth not a man bring forth fruit unto God, that walketh orderly according to the ten Commandments?
A30137But hath he no better thoughts of his own good deeds, which are by the Law?
A30137But how are we by this Man forgiven this?
A30137But how then must Jesus Christ, first save us from the Filth?
A30137But might they not be healed by humbling themselves?
A30137But now I would inquire; Had Israel done the Commandment, if they had eaten the Passover Raw; or Boiled in Water?
A30137But shall I speak the truth for you?
A30137But what Blessedness doth follow, the Imputation of the Righteousness of Christ, to one that is yet Ungodly?
A30137But what Righteousness have you of your own, to which you so dearly are Wedded, that it may not be let go, for the sake of Christ?
A30137But what Salvation?
A30137But what be these certain Circumstances?
A30137But what be these other Precepts?
A30137But what if they that were Stung, could not, because of the swelling of their face, look up to the Brazen Serpent?
A30137But what is it to believe that he is Messias, or Christ?
A30137But what is it to turn( from the Law) to the Lord?
A30137But what is the Spirit of the World?
A30137But what is 〈 ◊ 〉 to believe in Christ?
A30137But what saith the Apostle?
A30137But what things are they?
A30137But would you be imitating of, or accompishing such a Righteousness?
A30137Did I say before that the God of Glory is desirous to be seen of us?
A30137For, while a Man remains faithless and ignorant of the Gospel, to what doth his obedient temper of mind incline?
A30137Have I been so long time with you, saith Christ, and hast thou not known me Philip?
A30137He hath made Peace by the Blood of his Cross: so then, Faith in the first place seeketh Peace: But why Peace First?
A30137He that is Ungodly hath a want of Righteousness, even of the inward Righteousness of Works: But what must become of him?
A30137Here now is a Man an Hungred; what must he feed upon?
A30137How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A30137How then, if God should cast you into Turky, where Mahomet Reigns as Lord?
A30137How then?
A30137I know not; But thus I Read, We shall be like him: Why?
A30137I marvel what injury the Lord Jesus hath done this man, that he should have such indifferent thought of coming to God by him?
A30137Miracles and Signs are for them that believe not: Why for them?
A30137Now it is not the Nature of Faith; I mean, of Justifying Faith; to have any thing for an Object; from which fetcheth Peace with God?
A30137Now this righteousness, the Apostle casteth away, as was shewed before; not having mine own righteousness,( saith he) which is of the law; why?
A30137Observe; I am commanded to believe, but what should I believe?
A30137Or, what if a Man should act now as a Son, rather then simply as a Creature indued with a Principle of Reason?
A30137Ought not Christ to have suffered?
A30137Such as are self- evident or evident of themselves; to what?
A30137Tell me, I say, by this Text, whether is here intended the Sins of all that shall be saved?
A30137The Jews came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt?
A30137The forgiveness of Sins: But what is meant by forgiveness?
A30137This onely would I learn of you; Received you the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A30137To the Romans, I beseech you therefore, saith he, by the Mercies of God;( What Mercies?
A30137Was the Serpent then lifted up for them that were good and Godly?
A30137What know you not, that an Essential of the Righteousness he accomplished for Sinners when he was in the World?
A30137What will thy Gallant, Generous mind do here?
A30137When Philip under a mistake, thought of seeing God some other way, then in and by this Lord Jesus Christ; What is the Answer?
A30137Where now is the sound and healthful complexion of Soul?
A30137Who they are that hold, our Happiness in Heaven, shall come by a meer fixing our Eyes upon the Divine Perfections?
A30137Why Salvation?
A30137Why do they believe in Christ?
A30137Why?
A30137Why?
A30137Why?
A30137and what to have faith in his Blood?
A30137hath the Ministration of God no Glory?
A30137or he that is born of a Woman, that he should be holy?
A30137or how sincerely Righteous they were, whom God Justified, as Ungodly?
A30137or how?
A30137or if they had offered that Offering; that was to be burnt as a Sin Offering, otherwise then it was commanded?
A30137or what should be the object of my Faith in the matter of my justification with God?
A30137to what value will an imputative Righteousness amount?
A30137where?
A30137wherefore?
A5368614. or what shall we say unto these things, or this is that which is to be said herein?
A5368622.36, Which is the great Commandment in the Law?
A53686And Judah said, what shall we say unto my Lord?
A53686And is it not of Faith alone, which is that Grace whereby they apply themselves unto the Mercy or Grace of God through the mediation of Christ?
A53686And were it possible, where is the Righteousness of punishing any one for that which no way belongs unto him?
A53686At least he might plead his Faith as his own Duty and Work, to be imputed unto him for Righteousness?
A53686But how is this proved?
A53686But what if all this should prove a wilful prevarication, not becoming a Good man, much less a Minister of the Gospel?
A53686But what will ensue on this Explanation of the Acceptance of our imperfect Righteousness unto Justification upon the merit of Christ?
A53686But why so, why must we assent to one part of the Gospel unto the exclusion of another?
A53686But wilt thou know O vain man that Faith without Works is dead?
A53686By what Right?
A53686Can we not be pardoned, but we must thereby of necessity be made Sons, Heirs of God, and Coheirs with Christ?
A53686Credisne te non posse salvari nisi per mortem Christi?
A53686Cur non dixerit tanto praestantioris foederis factus est sacerdos Jesus?
A53686Did he thereby make, declare or constitute him righteous?
A53686Do they leave the prayer of the Publican, and betake themselves unto that of the Pharisee?
A53686Do they plead their own Righteousness, Obedience, and Duties to this purpose?
A53686Do we make void the Law through Faith?
A53686Do we saith the Apostle( by the Doctrine of Justification by Faith without Works) make void the Law?
A53686Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A53686Doth any other thought enter into their Hearts?
A53686Doth the Gospel require a lower degree of Love to God, a less perfect Love than the Law did?
A53686For any to use them now in the same way, and to the same purpose, is esteemed rude, undisciplinary, and even ridiculous, but on what Grounds?
A53686For how shall man be just with God?
A53686For unto what purpose is it to contend about them, whilst the substance of the Doctrine it self is openly opposed and rejected?
A53686For what else could hide or cover our sins but his Righteousness?
A53686For what need can there be of any of them, if God justifieth the ungodly?
A53686For what should justifie him whom the Gospel condemns?
A53686For what should they else do, when they knew well enough, that in their way, and by their propositions they were not to be attained?
A53686For who shall lay any thing unto the charge of Gods Elect, who are once justified before him?
A53686For without Faith it is impossible to please God: And to what purpose should the Apostle exclude evil works and hypocritical, from our Justification?
A53686How shall we answer what is laid unto our Charge?
A53686How shall we fly from the wrath to come?
A53686How shall we that are dead unto sin, live any longer therein?
A53686How then are we made the Righteousness of God in him?
A53686How then did he make our sins to be his own, and how did he bear our Iniquities?
A53686How then was he Justified by Works when he offered his Son on the Altar?
A53686How?
A53686I ask again what they think hereof; And upon a supposition that he will do so, what they further think will become of themselves?
A53686If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquities, O Lord, who should stand?
A53686If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53686Is it any thing but Soveraign Grace and Mercy, through the Blood of Christ?
A53686It is the Answer of the Apostles unto the Jaylors enquiry; Sirs, What must I do to be saved?
A53686Murmuret jam quantum voluerit, insipiens cogitatio mea, dicens Quis enim es tu,& quanta est illa gloria, quibusve meritis hanc obtinere speras?
A53686My Enquiry is how I shall come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A53686Of him will I beg pardon, of him will I desire Indulgence, what other hope is there for sinners?
A53686Quae autem est spes?
A53686Quid potest esse omnis humana justitia coram Deo?
A53686Quomodo ergo dicit delictorum meorum?
A53686Secondly, The Apostle answers, as we do also, Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A53686That he is so, there can be no question, the whole enquiry is, how he is so?
A53686That is, Dost thou believe that thou canst not be saved but by the death of Christ?
A53686The Question was now reduced unto this; on what Grounds he might or could be justified in the sight of God?
A53686The sinners in Sion are afraid, fearfulness hath surprized the Hypocrites, who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A53686This Relief it will be said, is to be had in Christ alone; it is true, but under what Consideration?
A53686Was it not free unto God to appoint what way, method and order he would, whereby these things should be communicated unto us?
A53686Was not Abraham our Father justified by Works, when he had offered Isaac his Son upon the Altar?
A53686What Works?
A53686What doth it profit my Brethren though a man say he hath Faith and have not Works, can Faith save him?
A53686What follow unto the same purpose he omits, and what he adds as my words are not so, but his own, ubi pudor, ubi sides?
A53686What must I do to be saved?
A53686What shall we do to be saved?
A53686What shall we do to be saved?
A53686What shall we say then, shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A53686What shall we then say?
A53686What will follow from hence?
A53686Whence the Prophet says in the Psalm, If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, who should stand?
A53686Where then is Boasting?
A53686Where then, they will say, is the necessity of Obedience from the Obligation of the Law, if God will not damn them that Transgress it?
A53686Wherewith( saith one of them) shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A53686Wherewithall shall we appear before God?
A53686Who shall now dare to say, that he underwent the Penalty of the Law for us indeed, but he yielded Obedience unto it for himself only?
A53686how shall I escape the wrath to come?
A53686in whom else could we wicked and ungodly ones be justified, or esteemed Righteous, but in the Son of God alone?
A53686it is excluded, by what Law?
A53686shall I come before him with Burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A53686that is, is there in this matter unrighteousness with God?
A53686what shall I plead in judgment before God, that I may be absolved, acquitted, justified?
A53686what shall we speak 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 and how shall we justify our selves, God hath found out our Iniquity?
A53686where shall I have a Righteousness that will endure a Trial in his presence?
A53686who among us shall dwell with Everlasting burnings?
A53686why should we debate about the order and beautifying of the Rooms in an House, whilst Fire is set unto the whole?
A53686will indeed this Faith save him?
A53686will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A07838A Beleeuer, and yet a deuill?
A07838A bare Historie only?
A07838A deepe Diuine; and worldly minded?
A07838A faire Marchant, and yet a very merchant?
A07838An experienced Phisitian; and yet a daily Tobacconist?
A07838An expert Lawyer, and yet a corrupt Iudge?
A07838And as touching faith: Are only good said in the Scriptures to beleeue?
A07838And doth our creed teach vs to professe our faith thus; I beleeue in God, I beleeue in Iesus Christ, I beleeue in the holy Ghost?
A07838And how shall any man be assured of his Iustification, vntill hee doe beleeue that those merits doe in particular, and in speciall belong to himselfe?
A07838And must we beleeue the gospel?
A07838And rightly, for the word implieth, a Quis sicut Deus?
A07838And therefore though they beleeued, yet they said, what haue wee to doe with thee Iesu thou Sonne of God?
A07838And what an horrible feare expresse they in their demeanour?
A07838And what are those things, which hereafter we expect?
A07838And yet a thousand and a thousand such Questions they mooue: of which a man may say, with the Disciples in the Gospel, f Ad quid hae ● perdi ● io?
A07838Are these good things, remission of sinnes, iustification, and the rest?
A07838Are they confirmations vnto vs, that y Christ was about 30. yeares olde when he was baptized?
A07838At length hee addeth, Numquid dicuntur credere soli boni?
A07838Blind Bellarmine,( for who so blind as he that will not see?)
A07838But how that?
A07838But let vs beleeue so, as wee may beleeue in him, and loue him: Et non dicamus, Quid nobis& tibi est?
A07838But poore old man, what can he do, where the Pope himselfe d ● ● eth not stirre the coales?
A07838But shall I, nay, may I dare to smoother the words that there follow?
A07838But what is to be said to those setled pillars of Papacie?
A07838But what saith S. Augustine?
A07838But what saith S. Hierome?
A07838But whereunto now tendeth this dolefull treatie of Afflictions?
A07838Can any man be incorporated into the members of Christ, that doth not by faith entertaine Christ for his head?
A07838Can any man with comfort goe towards Christ, who is not aforehand perswaded, that Christ will looke comfortably towards him?
A07838Deus tibi de hoc mundo recedenti immortalitatem pollicetur atque aeternitatem,& tu dubitas?
A07838Did Paul euer speake more applicatiuely of Christ to himselfe?
A07838Doe they seale vp vnto vs the truth of the storie?
A07838Doth the Gospel bring good tidings to vs of good things that haue betided vs?
A07838Doth the Gospel tell vs that wee haue receiued these benefits without our labour, and without our merit freely of the grace of God?
A07838For Abbote Tritenhemius writeth of him that hee was, nobiliter eruditus, a noble or notable learned man: It is Nicolaus de Gorran, and what saith hee?
A07838For else, how can any man be made righteous by the merits of Christ, if those merits of Christ belong not to him?
A07838For why?
A07838For, l If God be on our side, who can be against vs?
A07838God promiseth to thee when thou departest out of the world immortalitie, and eternitie, and doest thou doubt of possession?
A07838Good S. Iames, doest thou not speake contraries?
A07838Hee that will cast his eies vp and downe in the world, shall he not see a good Statesman, and yet a meere Atheist?
A07838How is faith the substance of those things?
A07838How is it certaine?
A07838How shortly are the Sermons of m Ionah, of n Iohn the Baptist, yea of o Christ himselfe reported?
A07838How will these two stand together, beleeuing and trembling?
A07838I conclude then: Is to beleeue in God, to beleeue and loue him?
A07838I demand then; Can any man heartely and soundly loue Christ, who hath not some perswasion that Christ loueth him?
A07838Iacobus Latomus, s who died in desperation, crying out that he was damned for resisting the knowne truth?
A07838If they be at peace with God, what cause haue they to feare?
A07838If they beleeue, why doe they tremble?
A07838If they tremble, how doe they beleeue?
A07838Is Confidence such a thing, and is faith confidence?
A07838Is it so?
A07838Is not this to beleeue more then the storie?
A07838Is to beleeue in God, to cast our hope vpon him?
A07838Is to beleeue in God, to repose vpon him the confidence of our happinesse?
A07838Lastly, is to beleeue in God, deuoutly to trust in him?
A07838Nay, is not this to take home the Gospel to our selues?
A07838No more then that there was a God?
A07838Now doth God speake to thee, and giue thee his promise, and doest thou with an vnbeleeuing heart doubt of performance?
A07838Now, what is the Gospell?
A07838Now, who can by faith repose vpon God the confidence of his happinesse, which is not by the same faith assured of his mercie?
A07838On the other side, if they beleeue, then what need they tremble?
A07838Pugnantia loqueris Iacobe?
A07838Quia cùm credam Deum esse,& illum Deum meum esse, Patrem meum, Dominum meum,& c. Thou shalt not ouercome me: for why?
A07838Secondly, they would fai ● ● turne him off hand: m Quid nobis& tibi?
A07838Sed dica ● ● us potiùs, Ad te pertinemus, Tu nos redemisti: And let vs not say as the deuills said, what haue we to doe with thee?
A07838Shall they professe nothing of the holy Ghost, of remission of ● ● nes?
A07838The Deuills feare and tremble: but how?
A07838The Substance: how is that?
A07838The children of God feare also, but how?
A07838Therefore how can the Deuills but tremble continually?
A07838Thirdly, they feare present execution: Art thou come hither to torment vs before the time?
A07838Thus hee saith; Quid est ergo credere in eum?
A07838To what ende serueth such wa ● t of time and labour?
A07838What Protestant euer applyed Christs benefits neerer to his owne vse?
A07838What beleeued he?
A07838What can be spoken in words more patheticall, in sense more applicatiue, in faith more apprehensiue?
A07838What can bee more plain ● e?
A07838What did Paul affirme more of the Church in generall, then this man of himselfe in particular?
A07838What difference then in this behalfe, betweene the holy Saints of God, and the damned fiends of hell?
A07838What haue wee to doe with thee?
A07838What is that?
A07838What is then to beleeue in God?
A07838What manner of faith doe they seale vp, and confirme in our hearts?
A07838What may we call the Gospell?
A07838What then need they feare?
A07838What?
A07838What?
A07838Why?
A07838doth faith euen while we liue here giue a certen kind of being to those things in our hearts, the fruition whereof we afterward expect?
A07838of the doctrine which is taught vnto vs. Now vpon what doctrine hath faith his foundation?
A07838or a bare historicall narration of things done and passed?
A07838s Qualis est illa fides:( saith one of their owne) quae mortua est, formaque sua caret?
A07838that he z was tempted in the wildernesse?
A07838that hee a raised Iairus daughter, that hee b preached in the Synagogue, that he c washed his disciples feete, or such like?
A07838that is, can such a kinde of faith saue him?
A07838to vs. And must we beleeue the Gospell?
A07838vpon the doctrine of the Law?
A07838what is it therefore to beleeue in him?
A07838what manner of faith is that which wanteth both life and forme?
A07838who is like the Lord?
A39120& c. What contradiction is there unto sense in either of these?
A39120( 2) I would ask, whether this promise of Faith be not a part of the New Covenant?
A39120( 2) What, by being justified in the sight of God?
A39120( 3) I would ask whether the condition required of Adam, were meritorious of eternal life?
A39120( 3) I would ask, whether the promise of Faith, be not an effect of Christs death?
A39120( 3) Why may not Faith be a medium to evidence our Justification before Faith, as well as our Election before Faith?
A391201. e Ubi tuta firmaque infirmis securitas& requies nisi in vulneribus salvatorū?
A39120A late Writer sayes well, Why may not Christians and Schollars write plainly against one anothers Judgement, with a loving consent?
A39120And can there be Faith without knowledge?
A39120And if so, how can they, who conceive not of things Natural, understand those things that are Heavenly and Spiritual?
A39120And what do our Brethren say less less then this?
A39120And why not?
A39120And( 3) when we are justified in the sight of God?
A39120Are not Faith and Repentance, the fruits of our Reconciliation, by the blood of Christ?
A39120But doth the Apostle account neither of these Justifications much worth?
A39120But in earnest is Mr. Baxters Doctrine of a middle strain?
A39120But is the Gospel to be charged with these Dissentions?
A39120But what are the three things which he finds in these Texts to ground his charge on?
A39120But why not immediately and absolutely?
A39120But will it follow from hence, That all Publick Disputations, and Reasonings about matters of Faith, are perverse Disputings?
A39120By his favor, who did ever say ▪ that men are damned for not being objects of an Absolute Promise?
A39120Could they have returned to God, unless God had returned to them*?
A39120Dost thou believe to come to glory, not by thy own merits, but by the vertue and merit of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ?
A39120Doth he think this Sermon such a solid peece, that all men living will be struck dumb therewith?
A39120Ergo, We were not elected before Faith?
A39120Faith is the evidence of things not seen; An unsound Assertion?
A39120For( 1) how doth the riches of Gods grace appear, if our Justification doth depend upon terms and conditions, performed by us?
A39120Had Parker, Twisse, Pemble,& c. nothing at all to say in defence of their Doctrine?
A39120Hath Mr. Woodbridges humanity no better language to bestow upon them?
A39120Have all those Reverend Divines before mentioned, obscured the Gospel?
A39120He that spared not his own Son, but gave him to death for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
A39120How doth this sow pillows under mens elbows, or lull asleep in security, more then the Doctrine of absolute Election?
A39120How shall we distinguish between precepts and promises?
A39120If he shall ask, Why God doth command them to beleeve in Christ, seeing he never intended they should have any good or benefit by Christ?
A39120If it includes the rest, why not this?
A39120Is he therefore joyned with God in the formal act of Justification?
A39120Is it an irrational thing to receive life, as a gift, and not as wages?
A39120It were very strange, if the Mercy and Faithfulness of God, should not be as sure a Foundation to relie upon, as our own Works?
A39120MR. W. in the next place, propoundes this Question, Whether Faith it selfe be not given to us by vertue of the Covenant made with us?
A39120May not God in the same Covenant, promise both Christ and Faith?
A39120Mr. W. demands,( 1) Whether there be an absolute promise made to every man, that God will give him grace?
A39120Now had he no works of the New Law, as you call them?
A39120Now shall we hence infer, That God was not just before?
A39120Now were all these Champions of Truth, a pack of Antinomians and Libertines?
A39120Now what can be imagined more derogatory to the Grace of God?
A39120Now, what is this to the purpose?
A39120Now, when God set his love upon them, he said unto them, Live?
A39120O man, who art thou that disputest against God?
A39120Or can he judge of mens Answers before he hath heard them?
A39120Or ought we therefore to forbear to Preach the Gospel?
A39120So say I, Why may we not Reason against each others Opinions in a friendly manner?
A39120THat we may avoid mistakes, I shall briefly declare,( 1) What we do understand by Justification?
A39120THe Question depending between me, and Mr. W. is not, Whether we are justified by Faith?
A39120That the Promise was to them, and to their children: Now what was that Promise, but Ero Deus tuus& seminis tui?
A39120That the spirit, which works Faith is given us by vertue of the Covenant made with us; But how doth Mr. W. prove the contradiction?
A39120The Question is not, whether this gracious sentence of Absolution, be declared; but whether it be not in the Brest of God, before it be declared?
A39120The next thing propounded was, What is meant by the sight of God?
A39120Was it ever known that men should be counted worthy of death, for not being the objects of an absolute Promise?
A39120Was the Apostle to be charged with perverseness when he reasoned both with Jews and Gentiles, as his manner was?

A39120Whether Faith therein, be to be taken Properly, or Tropically?
A39120Whether God were wel- pleased with unregenerate men?
A39120Will it follow, That because the Elect are justified in for ● Dei, before they believe; therefore all men are redeemed, and justified?
A39120Would not all men have censured his Writings to be but strifes of words?
A39120and is not the Spirit in that act, the cause of Faith?

A39120how can we hope, and trust in him?
A39120how can we rejoyce or be thankful to him, if we be not perswaded of his love, and bounty towards us?
A39120or, whether this immanent act of God doth not secure the sinner from condemnation?

A0358624 There are which defend that many of the Gentils who never heard the name of Christ, held the foundation of Christianitie,& why?
A0358629 Workes are an addition: be it so: what then?
A0358632 Then what is the fault of the Church of Rome?
A035865 Wherein then doe we disagree?
A035868 But the people of whom the prophet speaketh were they all, or were the most part of thē such as had care to walke vprightly?
A03586Againe denying the sonne of God to haue beene borne in the flesh, how canst thou beleeue him to haue suffred?
A03586And darest thou yet set foot in the church?
A03586And shall I crosse and gainesaie the mercifull promises of God generally made vnto penitent sinners by opposing the name of a Pope, of a Cardinal?
A03586And shall I thinke because of this only error, that such a man toucheth not so much as the hemme of Christs garment?
A03586And shall the righteous be overborne, shal they be compast about by the wicked?
A03586Are we not as vnwilling many times to begin, and as glad to make an end; as if in saying, call vpon me, he had set vs a very burdensome taske?
A03586As for example, did they holde that wee can not bee saved with Christ without good works?
A03586Because I adde, doe I therefore deny that which I did directlie affirme?
A03586Because his errour doth by consequent overthrow his faith?
A03586But how many were there amōgst our fathers, who being seduced by the common errour of that Church, never knew the meaning of her heresies?
A03586But what if it be true?
A03586Can any man that hath read their books concerning this matter, be ignorant how they draw all their answers vnto these heads?
A03586Can they directly graunt, and directly deny one and the very self- same thing?
A03586Canst thou thinke they selfe a Bishop when thou hast denyed all those things whereby thou dost obtaine a Bishoply calling?
A03586Christian Churches, the foundation of Christianity?
A03586Concerning generall repentance therefore, what?
A03586Concerning the Catholicke Church, then the other?
A03586Did I say that thousands of our fathers might be saved?
A03586Did I say, I doubted not but they were saued?
A03586Did I say, their ignorance doth make me hope they did find mercy, and so were saved?
A03586Did not Peter?
A03586Did they lament with the righteous Apostle: O miserable men, the good which we wish, and purpose, and striue to do, we can not?
A03586Did they that hold without works that we are not iustified, take iustification so as it may also imply sanctificatiō?
A03586Did they think that men doe merit rewards in heaven, by the workes they performe on earth?
A03586Did they thirst after righteousnesse?
A03586Did they wish, did they long with the righteous Prophet: O that our waies were made so direct that wee might keepe thy statutes?
A03586Fiftly, if in the worst construction that may bee made, they had generally al imbraced it living, might not many of them dying vtterly renounce it?
A03586For are not these our arguments against them?
A03586Hee pittieth the blind that would gladly see; but will hee pittie them that may see, and hardeneth himselfe in blindnesse?
A03586How doth S. Iohn affirme, d it abideth?
A03586How grievously doth Esay mourne over thē?

A03586How little reverence do we shew vnto the grand maiestie of God vnto whom wee speake?
A03586How little taste of the sweet influence of his tender mercies doe we feele?
A03586How then can wee doe any thing meritorious, or worthy to be rewarded?
A03586How then is our salvation wrought by Christ alone?
A03586I grant we are apt, prone, and ready to forsake God: but is God ready to forsake vs?
A03586If he doe, wherefore shoulde not I haue hope that vertue may proceede from Christ to saue him?
A03586If hee beleeue it for ever, how can he ever directly deny it?
A03586If the seed of God which cōtaineth Christ, may be first conceived and then cast out ▪ how doth S. Peter tearme it c immortall?
A03586Is there any reason that I should be suspected, or you offended for this speech?
A03586Is there nothing which excludeth men frō salvation, but only the foundation of faith denied?
A03586Is this that salvation by grace, whereof so plentifull mention is made in the scriptures of God?
A03586It is the demand of nature her selfe, what shal we do to haue eternal life?
A03586It is true that they doe indeed, ioine other things with Christ: but how?
A03586Might wee not with as good a colour of reason defend, that every ploughman hath al the sciences wherein Philosophers haue exceld?
A03586Not this only, but what other heresie is there, that doth not raze the very ▪ foundation of faith by consequent?
A03586One I haue alleaged, whose words, in my eares, sound that waie: shall I adde* another, whose speech is plaine?
A03586Our minds are changeable: is his so likewise?
A03586Shall I therefore cast him off as one that hath vtterly cast of Christ?
A03586Shall I, will the man say that loveth the present world more then hee loveth Christ, shall I incurre the high displeasure of the mightiest vpon earth?
A03586Shall we cast them all headlong?
A03586Shall we plunge them all into that infernall and everlasting flaming lake?
A03586Shall wee lay vp all in one condition?
A03586Take away the perswasion, and ye take away all the lawes; take away lawes& what shall become of commonweales?
A03586The doctrine of the gospell proposeth salvation as the end, and doth it not teach the way of attaining therevnto?
A03586Their opinion was dangerous: was not theirs also, who thought the kingdome of Christ should be earthly?
A03586Them that haue beene partakers of the errors of Babylon, together with them which are in the heresie?
A03586Them which haue beene partakers in one, with them which haue bin partakers in many?

A03586These which came to Antioch, teaching the necessity of circuncision were Christians; the other, enimies of Christianitie?
A03586This only was alleaged against me,& need I touch more then was alleaged?

A03586What betweene the Iewes and vs, but this, Whether by this Iesus, whom wee call Christ, yea or no?
A03586What difference is there in the world betweene a Pope and a Cardinall, and Iohn Style in this case?
A03586What difference was there betweene these Pharisees, and other Pharisees, from whom by a special description they are distinguished, but this?
A03586What hindreth salvation but sinne?
A03586What is the question betweene the Gentiles and vs, but this, whether salvation bee by Christ?
A03586What more opposite to propheticall doctrine concerning the comming of Christ, then the one?
A03586What way is there that sinners can finde to escape the iudgement of God, but onely by appealing to the seate of his saving mercy?
A03586What, if they hold it onlie as an error?
A03586Whie then am I condemned for a sinner?
A03586Whom God hath iustified, hath not Christ assured that it is his Fathers will to giue them a kingdome?
A03586Why is it not then confessed that thousands of our fathers which liued in Popish superstitions, might yet by the mercy of God be saved?
A03586Yea, might wee not with as great reason affirme, that a man may put three mighty oakes wheresoever three akornes may be put?
A03586Yet how manie things do escape vs in everie of these which we do not know?
A03586a Is it a dangerous thing to imagine, that such men may finde mercy?
A03586a murtherer, a blasphemer, an vncleane person, a Turke, a Jew, any sinner to escape the wrath of God, by a generall repentance; God forgiue me?
A03586although the cause why the ignorance in this point is not removed, bee the want of knowledge in such as should be able, and are not, to remoue it?
A03586although the only let why they doe not forsake it ere they die, be the ignorance of the meanes, by which it might be disproued?
A03586although they be farre from having anie prowde presumptuous opinion, that they shall be saved by the worthynesse of their deedes?

A66344And I might shew, that in Justification is a Right to Impunity; And can any thing but a Law give this?
A66344And indeed, is it bad news that Sinners shall be saved, if they repent and believe, and many shall believe?
A66344And is it not fit there should be such Conditions to justifie God?
A66344And must these be eased with lying Pillows?
A66344And shall these men face us down, as if we differ''d from the Assembly?
A66344And what can he mean by things distinct from the Promise?
A66344And where''s the strength of what is so roundly affirmed?
A66344And, p. 202. Who must not own, that compared with Christ, the best thing in us is vile, yea, compared with his Righteousness?
A66344Believe on the Lord Iesus Christ, and thou shal ● … be saved?
A66344Besides, is it an abiding of Wrath on us, which Adam''s Law threatned?
A66344But are not we justified by Faith?
A66344But can he think that unregenerate men can plead a personal Right to the First Grace?
A66344But do not they say we are forgiven by Faith only as it is related to Christ''s Righteousness,& c?
A66344But do not you affirm, that Repentance is necessary to our being forgiven?
A66344But is the Gospel therefore no Law, or only this Law of Nature?
A66344But is there no distinction admittable in the word Life?
A66344But not dangerous: But they are not Sins before committed, and pray whose Sins hurt them before they are committed?

A66344But what should induce me to juggle or equivocate?
A66344But why are Gospel- Threatnings a Bull?
A66344But why must it needs become a Law or Covenant of Works meerly by a Sanction?
A66344But, by what words can I express my own Judgment more fully then?
A66344By what Law?
A66344Can any Malefactor expect Peace with his Sword in his Hand?
A66344Can any think we dare make the same Offers to the Devils, as to every man; or to the Damned, as we can to all men alive?
A66344Can it be an Effect of Infinite Power, and make no change in the principle of our Actings?
A66344Consider these, with many such, and what good can Faith or Holiness do us?
A66344Dare we say to them after Death, If you will now believe, you shall yet be saved; turn now, and you shall yet live?
A66344Did God decree, and did Christ merit that the Elect might be only capable of being forgiven if they do believe?
A66344Did that Law ever promise Union with Christ, or the indwelling Spirit, or Forgiveness of Sin, or Perseverance?
A66344Do I then oppose Christ, or compare any Holiness with him?
A66344Do not some of the Subscribers recant?
A66344Do not you trust in your own inherent Righteousness, as that for which God will save you?
A66344Do our Works truly and properly make satisfaction to God, for that Obligation to Punishment which remaineth to be expiated?
A66344Do we believe before we are made a willing People?
A66344Do you mean, the Elect shall never come to God''s Bar of Judgment before they believe, and are forgiven?
A66344Do you think that we are justified by our Good Works at the last day, as if they were the Righteousness by which we shall be saved at the last day?
A66344Doth God dispense Faith blindly,& c?
A66344Doth God make our Faith or Sincerity to be our Justifying Righteousness?
A66344Doth God require these of us to this end in the Law of Adam, or in the Gospel?
A66344Doth a true Uniting Faith exclude Christ''s Righteousness, or include it?
A66344Doth not the Precept determine the nature and measure of Omissions, and the prohibition fix what are Sins of Commission?
A66344Doth not the Rule determine what the kind, duration, and degrees of Misery shall be, and on whom it shall fall?
A66344For what doth God forgive our Sins?
A66344Forgiveness, Adoption, Glory, or any other promised Benefit given upon God''s Terms?
A66344Hath God appointed Faith by his Command to be a* federal Instrument to receive Christ''s Righteousness?
A66344Hath the Gospel Covenant no Sanction?
A66344Have not we God''s Word, Oath, and Seals for this?
A66344Have we a Right to Forgiveness for Christ''s sake upon our believing?
A66344Have we not an Interest in Christ, as Members of him, before we do believe?
A66344Have you the Wedding- Garment of Faith and Holiness?
A66344How can it be a Faith unfe ● … gned, while Villany and Hypocrisie reign in the Soul?
A66344How come we to believe?
A66344How could Paul answer the Goaler''s Question, What shall I do to be saved?
A66344How could Peter say, Repent, and be baptized for the remission of Sin,& c. when the People cried, What shall we do?
A66344How dare these men pretend to agree with our Orthodox Divines, when they are so plain against them?
A66344How is the Grace of God,& c?
A66344How long must I stay for an Answer, if I ask what kind of Cause is Pardon?
A66344How shall poor Creatures make out their Interest therein, unless God hath declared upon what Conditions we shall be possest of the Priviledges,& c?
A66344I deny that Faith,& c. are in the same place as Works were under the Law, How many more places could I cite?
A66344I had said, that the Promises of the First Grace were pleadable only by Christ, as the stipulating Party: And what''s that to Redemption?
A66344I say no more, so that Men will own Men shall be denied it without that Instrument: But then, must the Gospel be a Law of Works?
A66344I say the same, but yet I ask, Will Christ justifie me if I do not receive him?
A66344If any one should object, Did not the Law of Nature bind us to do whatever God should at any time require?
A66344In this sence he saw I took it: And doth God in every Promise of Life in this sence, promise Obedience to the Terms of it?
A66344Is Faith, or any Act of ours, a foreseen Motive to encline God to purpose, offer, or give us Forgiveness for it?
A66344Is Faith, or any Act of ours, any Price of Forgiveness?
A66344Is Faith- Love to God of that use, to receive Christ for our Justification, as Faith in Christ is?
A66344Is Holiness as meritorious of Salvation as Christ''s Satisfaction is?
A66344Is here no change?
A66344Is it a receiving of Christ, while the Heart is yet under an utter aversion to him?
A66344Is it a renouncing of all for Christ, whilst the byass of the Heart is against Christ, and for other things above him and against him?
A66344Is it a vital Act before Life?
A66344Is it an Act of an enlighten''d Mind, before the Mind be enlighten''d?
A66344Is it an Act of the Will, before the Will be at all determined by Grace?
A66344Is it any thing in the nature of Faith, as a Work whereby a Believer comes to be forgiven, rather than an Unbeliever?
A66344Is it every Sin will do this?
A66344Is it excluded?
A66344Is it for want of Mercy, Goodness, Grace, or Patience in God?
A66344Is it for want of the mightiest Encouragements, and most infallible Assurances, that with God there is Forgiveness?
A66344Is it the Counsel of a Fellow- Subject?
A66344Is it the Faith of God''s Elect, when it proceeds from an unregenerate Heart?
A66344Is it the Righteousness of Works, or the Righteousness of Christ?
A66344Is it through any defect in the Mediation of the Lord Christ?
A66344Is not Faith, or any thing in Man, the Cause of Forgiveness?
A66344Is not a Believer pardoned, before he can put forth any other Act of Obedience?
A66344Is not it a Duty here to be baptized?
A66344Is not norma judicii, a Rule of Judgment, as well related to Condemnation as Absolution?
A66344Is not receiving Christ an Action?
A66344Is not that Sign or Instrument whereby God requires these things, to this end, a Law of God?
A66344Is not there the written Mosaick Law set in opposition to the Law of Nature unwritten?
A66344Is not this a new and singular Gospel?
A66344Is not this to spit in the Face of the most of the Bible?
A66344Is our Faith the Righteousness for or by which we are forgiven?
A66344Is there no Gospel mitigation, so as to admit sincere Grace to be true Grace, tho''it be not perfect Grace?
A66344Is there not a fulness in Christ for Sinners before they make use of it?
A66344Is this any sort of Faith?
A66344It''s said of some, He will laugh at their Calamity,& c. But who are they?
A66344Keep to this Rule when you speak of being justified by Faith, and what will become of the Object justifying?
A66344May not I now expect, that People that rail at me will impute to me only what I thus plainly state?
A66344Must not we receive Forgiveness before we receive Christ himself?
A66344Nay, what are the serious Pleas of Ministers with every Soul, to believe and repent?
A66344Now Reader, can this one line make all the rest safe?
A66344Or can that Principle be, and yet have place neither in Understanding or Will?
A66344Or from the Law of Works?
A66344Or, whether our Faith be true or no?
A66344Pray see him p. 151,& c. P. 184. he saith, Whence is it that men perish in and for their Sins?
A66344Q What stress do you lay on Good Works?
A66344Q Whether Faith alone justifieth?
A66344Q Whether Prayer, Fasting, or Alms are satisfactory Works?
A66344Q. Doth not Faith entitle us to Forgiveness?
A66344Q. Doth not Faith take hold of, or look to, approve of, relye on, and accept of Christ and his Righteousness for Pardon?
A66344Q. Hath God declared any Rule by which he gives Forgiveness to one rather than another?
A66344Q. Shall the Elect fall from a state of Forgiveness?
A66344Reader, is not the Assembly plain, that a man is called before he is justified?
A66344Rep. Let''s understand the Question, for it is too confused: What is this After the manner of imputation in foro,& c?
A66344Say not they will not believe, that makes no alteration, as to the Point in hand: Hath not God declared he will save them if they believe?
A66344Should you this night hear the Cry, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, are you ready to enter into the Wedding- Chamber?
A66344The great difference between the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace, lies in this: What is the Righteousness for which we are saved?
A66344Was innocent Man to escape the Curse due to him?
A66344Was it not because I received it not, till I received it?
A66344We require Evangelical Faith, in order of Nature, antecedently to our Iustification,& c?
A66344Well, what are the things we should not be afraid of?
A66344What Benefits do they that are effectually called partake of in this Life?
A66344What Sinners are justified by Christ?
A66344What are your Thoughts then as to our inherent Righteousness and Good Works, as they fall under Christ''s Judgment at the last day?
A66344What do Men speak of a Day of Grace, that Men may sin away?
A66344What do you trust in, as that for which God will accept of you, and save you?
A66344What doth God require of us,& c?
A66344What doth entitle us to Forgiveness?
A66344What is Effectual Calling?
A66344What is it for God to forgive our Sins?
A66344What is that Faith in Christ which you perswade to?
A66344What kind of Faith is that by which we are justified, if there be no Work of the Spirit on the Heart?
A66344What more common than the difference between legal and evangelical Obedience?
A66344What should move them to repent?
A66344What stress then do you lay?
A66344What use is Faith of to Forgiveness?
A66344What will the end of them be that obey not the Gospel?
A66344What''s Repentance unto Life,& c?
A66344What''s a Law if that be not?
A66344When God forgives us, doth he judge us to be Believers?
A66344When this Promise belongs but to some, and that only upon a certain Condition who then are those on whom this Promise properly falls?
A66344Where is Boasting then?
A66344Where''s Dr. Owen''s Law of Iustification?
A66344Where''s the Argument?
A66344Whereas Mr. C. asks me, Do not we plead Redemption, or the Promise made in Christ?
A66344Who forgiveth Sin?
A66344Whose Sins doth God forgive?
A66344Why do not you use the word Instrument?
A66344Why do you use the word Rector?
A66344Why should it be their Duty so to do?
A66344Why was I unjustified by his Righteousness so long?
A66344Will God certainly forgive a Sinner when he believes?
A66344Will God forgive all the Elect?
A66344Will God hereafter more publickly declare us to be Believers?
A66344Will a temporary or historical Faith serve?
A66344Will a vain Thought exclude a man from Pardon, as much and as surely as final Unbelief?
A66344Will not God forgive the Elect before they do believe?
A66344Will nothing be glad tidings, but that they shall be saved, tho''they neither repent nor believe?
A66344Will you render this?
A66344Yea, is it not our common Principle, that Vocation is before Justification?
A66344or more falsly than he was a Iugler; tho''I more so?
A66344or, Can they see Christ before their Eye be opened?
A66344that Union with Christ is before Pardon in order of Nature; And is not that an Effect of Christ''s Merits?
A66344yea, is not this Refusal the Heart of Unbelief?
A66344〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Is the Law against the Promises?
A66344〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, The Law was added; Was it no special Law?
A50402A member of Christ united to him as the head of the whole mystical body of the Church?
A50402Again, it seemeth the objection was made both against the doctrine, and them that taught it, Do we make void the Law through Faith?
A50402Again, saith he, O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that y ● should not obey the truth?
A50402And although this Errour was for the present much restrained, yet how did it break out again afterward among the Galatians?
A50402And how ready are the weaker sort to be scared from the truth, and alienated from those assemblies where it is taught by such shifts as these?
A50402And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A50402And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A50402And what are those sins which they call upon Christians to shun, but sins forbidden in the Law?
A50402And what is there, which the blood of God was not sufficient to purchase?
A50402And what should Christians endeavour more than the strengthning of their faith?
A50402And when he was upon the Cross, he cried out with a loud voice saying, My God My God why hast thou forsaken me?
A50402Are we better than they?
A50402Besides, how can a man forsake any truth of God which he hath once received, but he must ipso facto, in that very act transgress in point of practise?
A50402But how is man left to the darkness of his own mind, and blinded by Satan?
A50402Can faith save him?
A50402Did not they rest in the High- priest of the order of Aaron, without minding an eternal High- priest after the order of Melchisedeck?
A50402Do we make the Law a vain, empty, useless thing, of no force?
A50402Do we make void the Law?
A50402Do we take away all authority and binding power from the Law?
A50402Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A50402Fourthly, How doth this light and Law of Nature leave men without excuse?
A50402God forbid, or let it not be: What, know ye not that he which is joyned to an Harlot is one body?
A50402Hadst thou any sincere love to Christ and his doctrine, how is it that thou hast profited no more?
A50402Hast thou been 20, 30, 40 years his Disciple, his Scholar, and hast thou learned little or nothing all this while?
A50402How dangerous is it then to continue in this estate of corrupt nature?
A50402How disgraceful was drunkenness by the light of Nature to sober Heathens, and how did they despise drunkards?
A50402How earnest should poor souls be with the Lord to deliver them?
A50402How great is thy sin?
A50402How many such live in the ordinary practice of such sins which the wiser sort of Heathens abhorred and scorned?
A50402How restless should all be until they are sound in Christ, that his righteousness may shelter them from the fire of Gods wrath?
A50402How sharply doth he reprove them, and how many woes doth he denounce against them?
A50402How should the hearts of believers be inflamed with love to Christ, who endured the flames of divine wrath to save them from everlasting burnings?
A50402How should they strive to be holy as the Lord is holy, who should be both Priests and Sacrifices?
A50402How should this be improved to stir up poor souls without delay to turn to the Lord, and flee to Christ?
A50402How should we tremble at sin?
A50402If the doctrine of free justification be slandered as licentious, and tending to carnal liberty, was it not so in Pauls time?
A50402If under this name thou livest in ignorance, dost thou not herein cast a great reproach upon the Lord Jesus Christ?
A50402If we should trace the Apostle Paul in his travels from place to place, where shall we find a place free from divisions?
A50402In that great and last day, how will ye stand in the presence of God when numberless sins are charged upon you?
A50402In the Objection, Do we then make void the Law through faith?
A50402In their legal washings, how did they rest in the purifying of the flesh, without any care to wash their hearts from wickedness?
A50402Is it not common with many to complain of bondage under the Law, who on the other side remain in a miserable bondage under their lusts?
A50402Is it not monstrous for them that should be quickned with one spirit to strive against each other, as if they were acted by contrary spirits?
A50402Is it not much to be lamented, that where there are many people living under the Gospel, the Lord should have so few offerings?
A50402Is it not very likely that contentions and divisions would follow hereupon?
A50402Is it not want of exercising faith upon Christ, and keeping close to him, that maketh Christians so defective in grace?
A50402Is not this as if thou shouldst say Christ taught thee these things, and walkt before thee in such ways as these?
A50402Is not this to trample under foor the blood of the Covenant?
A50402Israel which followed after the Law of righteousness hath not attained to the Law of righteousness: Wherefore?
A50402It is true that Christ hath fully satisfied the Law: But what doth this help them that remain in their natural estate of impenitency and unbelief?
A50402It seems hereupon some were ready to argue: What advantage then hath the Iew, and what profit is there of Circumcision?
A50402Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?
A50402Live in such practices as the better sort of Heathens abhorred and scorned?
A50402Nevertheless death raigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression: Who are they?
A50402Now how clearly doth Scripture witness, how sadly doth experience prove, that errours and heresies make woful rents and divisions?
A50402Now what Commandments were these?
A50402Now what a high disho ● our is it to the God of Truth, when lyes are fathered npon him, and attributed to him?
A50402Oh how dreadful will the sound of that Trumpet be at the last day?
A50402Oh take heed of appearing before the all- seeing God without a witness?
A50402Others said, these are not the words of him that hath a Devil; Can a Devil open the eyes of the blind?
A50402Our liberty to use all wholesome food: Blood whether now forbidden?
A50402Probably a Natural though secret reason, why so many Creatures were forbidden to Israel?
A50402Saith the Apostle, Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the Altar?
A50402Saith the Apostle, Shall I take the members of Christ and make them the members of an Harlot?
A50402Secondly, By way of confutation, How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A50402Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
A50402Shall the members of one body fight each against other?
A50402Shall they that 〈 ◊ 〉 called to one hope be at defiance among them ● selves?
A50402Shall those that are called to the profession of one faith, embrace contrary beliefs?
A50402Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
A50402Should we not look upon every sin as bloody, as murtherous, either as slaying the sinner himself, or as killing his Saviour?
A50402Sin was in the world before the Law was given on mount Sinai, But how can it be just to charge sin upon them who had no Law against which to sin?
A50402So in the sixth Chapter of this Epistle, shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
A50402So that in these words we may note, first a Question or Objection, Do we make void the Law through faith?
A50402So the Apostle implieth, where speaking of those that are in Christ, he faith, It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A50402So the Macedonians, Nestorians, Eutichians, Monothelites, and others, how sadly did they tear the Church in pieces?
A50402That some of the godly are drawn into Error?
A50402The Gospel striketh at the right eye, at the heart, and root of the most beloved lusts; How then will self- love rise up against it?
A50402The Lord told Abraham that his seed should possess it, but not until after four hundred years, Why?
A50402The Question or Objection is, Do we make void the Law thro ● gh Faith?
A50402There is a Law of nature, this not nulled by Faith: What this Law is, in the particular description of it?
A50402There was a division therefore again among the Iews because of these sayings, and many of them said he hath a Devil, and is mad, Why hear ye him?
A50402These and the like distempers of corrupt Nature, What truths may they not corrupt or deny?
A50402Vrim and Thummim ▪ concerning which there is a great question What it was?
A50402What are those things which the Apostles by the Authority of Christ and his Name, require of Christians but things commanded in the Law?
A50402What errours and false opinions may they not breed and cherish?
A50402What is that but an unsound self- deceiving hope, which doth not stir up the soul to conform it self to Christ in purity and holiness?
A50402What is there that such may not obtain of the Father through the Son?
A50402What is this but to be an Enemy to the Cross of Christ, harbouring in thy bosom, that Enemy which fastned and nailed him to the Cross?
A50402What is this but to go about to derive darkness from light?
A50402What man is able to give a reason why this people should be preferred above all others?
A50402What this Light or Law of Nature is?
A50402What worse divisions were made by the abominable Heresie of the Maniche''s in Iudea, Egypt, Greece, Thrace, Spain, and other places?
A50402When he saw many of them come to his Baptisme, he said unto them, O generation of Vipers, Who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
A50402Whether the Lord Jesus were the Christ?
A50402Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved: How then shall they call on him on whom they have not believed?
A50402Will not the Lord look upon them rather as Egyptians then Israelites, and deal with them accordingly?
A50402Will they boast of more love than Paul had, who could have wished himself accursed that Israel might have been saved?
A50402Will they pretend to more meekness than Moses, who was very meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth?
A50402Will ye be able to hold up your faces before the men of Nineve in the day of Judgement?
A50402Will ye plead that ye believe in Christ, and so are made one with him, where is your witness?
A50402Will ye say Christ hath satisfied for your sins, what shall this profit you unless ye be united unto Christ?
A50402With what terrour, glory and majesty did the Lord appear on Mount Sinai, when he published the Law to the people of Israel?
A50402and what have I offended thee that thou hast brought on me and on my Kingdom a great sin?
A50402errours and false opinions in matters of Religion are taught, professed, received as Truths of God?
A50402how few do seriously and diligently seek for any other?
A50402it is excluded: By what Law?
A50402know ye not that the body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you?
A50402lyes from the Fountain of Truth?
A50402of works?
A50402the Apostle and other Gospel- preachers?
A09274& c. And certainly;( had she not had Faith, before the spies came, who can thinke she would haue giuen entertainment to such dangerous persons?
A09274( Hee is neere that iustifieth me, who will contend with me?)
A09274( If we be not iustified by the workes of the Law, by what then?
A09274( Is the Law then against the promises of God?
A092743. to proue that a sinner destitute of grace can not be made inherently holy, by Morality, or outward workes of Piety?
A0927432 How knowes Bellarm ● ne that?
A092745 What sinne is there against the Gospell, that is not a transgression of the Law?
A09274Againe doth Charitie giue life or liuing actions vnto Faith as the Soule doth vnto the Body?
A09274Against what?
A09274And againe, Lay b downe now, put me in a surety with thee, who is he that will strike hands with me?
A09274And how proued they this?
A09274And if he were not, who is?
A09274And is not Feare of GOD too?
A09274And why?
A09274Are not the Regenerate vnder the Law, that is vnder the Obedience of the Law?
A09274Are other Mens worke without all faults because we know not what they be?
A09274Are they sure they can also satisfie the paines of Pu ● gatorie?
A09274Are they sure they shall passe for satisfactions presently?
A09274Are we?
A09274Be veniall sinnes, sinnes?
A09274Because wee must be syncere without hypocrisie, ergo, we must be perfect in all things without blame?
A09274But can they tell certainly when he doth?
A09274But can they tell how many yeares or daies are left vnsatisfied for; that so all things may be fitted according to the Race of time?
A09274But can they tell vs the i ● st asure of that Contrition which is satisfactorie?
A09274But how hnow they, they be sinnes?
A09274But how know they that?
A09274But is he sure he enioynes iust so much as will doe the Feate?
A09274But now is this imperfection in Humane or Angelicall righteousnes any Euill and Sinne in them?
A09274But now what followes hence?
A09274But now; wherein stands the inward vocation of a sinner?
A09274But was it not fulfilled before that time?
A09274But what is it now which committed this guilt or sinne?
A09274But what is this Yoake of Bondage?
A09274But what reason is there for this, that Circumcision& the Ceremonies should frustrate the benefit of Christs death?
A09274But what''s next?
A09274But what?
A09274But when is this?
A09274But where is it so taken?
A09274But wilt thou know O a vaine Man( or hypocrite) that Faith without workes is dead?
A09274But, might he say, what?
A09274By the Law of workes, that is, by the Law performed by the strength of Nature?
A09274By what Law then?
A09274Can Bellarmine tell vs how much this was?
A09274Can a man that''s regenerate be iustified by his obedience of the Law, when yet after his regeneration hee doth not keepe it?
A09274Can that Faith saue him?
A09274Can there be any other meaning of Iustification here ●: but this onely?
A09274Christ, or wee?
A09274Darest thou indeed stand to it, and vpon these Tearmes appeare in Gods Iudgment?
A09274Did God intend in those Commandements to forbid those actions of stealing and lying?
A09274Did Paul then fulfill the Law?
A09274Doth God the Law- giuer?
A09274For 1. what is that to Iustification?
A09274For do you not beleeue him that he spake true?
A09274For may not good Workes be counterfeited as well as Faith?
A09274For satisfaction say they, To what?
A09274For that the Iesuites conceiue that this is a plaine case: for where is there any one place in all the Bible, that saith, Faith alone Iustifies?
A09274For that which deserues a reward worthily, deserues it fitly:( how else is it worthy of the reward, if the reward be not fit for it?)
A09274For this interrogatiues Was not our Father Abraham justified by workes?
A09274For what hath Christ satisfied?
A09274For what is it for one baptised to desire to receaue that Sacrament againe?
A09274For what now?
A09274For what saith the Scripture?
A09274For what then?
A09274For wherefore must it be suffered?
A09274For who is judge of their actions?
A09274For who will set himselfe( say they) to doe any good worke if the Protestants doctrine be true, that in doing of it he shall commit a mortall Sinne?
A09274For whom doth he offend, or who can challenge him of Sinne?
A09274For why?
A09274From the Habit of Faith, or of Charity?
A09274Hath he done this, or no?
A09274He asketh vs where is the Sinne?
A09274Hovv is it then not giuen?
A09274How comes it to passe then, that the godliest men are many times secure, slothfull, cold and carelesse in the duties of Gods most holy worship?
A09274How doth hee account them Iust, whom he knoweth and punisheth for vniust?
A09274How is that proued?
A09274How is that proued?
A09274How know these men that there was, or is, such a power in the Saints to keepe the Law, when yet the world neuer saw it brought into Act?
A09274How know they that?
A09274How knowes the Pope when he hath bestowed vpon them sufficient supererogatiue Money to pay the Fees of the Prison?
A09274How much lesse shall I answere him( saith he)& chuse out my words to reason with him?
A09274How must this bee vnderstood?
A09274How proues he, that he was so justified?
A09274How should man be iust with God?
A09274How then doth Charity giue life vnto Faith?
A09274How was it then fulfilled at the oblation of Isaack?
A09274How?
A09274If God punish that sinne which is in the Regenerate how then is their sinne couered and their iniquities forgiuen?
A09274If Men can not bee iustified by keeping the Law, to what end was it giuen so long after the Promise was made?
A09274If for Christs righteousnes we be perfectly iustified: how can God accoūt vs perfectly iust for our faith?
A09274If it be euill to breake any Commandement in act: is it not euill to haue, a pronenesse and readinesse of minde to breake it?
A09274If it be his gift, how doth it merit, or of whom?
A09274If the Gospel cōmand Charity, is it any other then that which the Law commands: If the Gospell cōmand Faith, doth not the Law enioine the same?
A09274If thou, Lord shouldest marke iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A09274If when all is doen we must be saued by doing, what profit comes there by beleeuing?
A09274In all the Catalogue of the Saints, can you pricke out one that after regeneration, neuer committed sinne against the Law?
A09274In the Apostles will?
A09274Is God offended with them?
A09274Is he certaine that God will take that for paiment, which he decrees to be paied?
A09274Is it a Match presently, that God must doe as thou desirest: and take what thou offerest for paiment?
A09274Is it alwaies?
A09274Is it for the fault and offence committed?
A09274Is it not giuen( quoad directionem) as a Rule prescribing what is to be done, what is not to be done?
A09274Is it not more probable that what neuer was nor will be done, neuer could nor can be done?
A09274Is it onely the obseruation of the Ceremoniall Law?
A09274Is not this a shamelesse Iesuite that will say any thing to patch vp a broken cause?
A09274Is not this a superfine Inuention?
A09274Is not this difference between these Apostles finely accorded think you?
A09274Is the Law then against the Promises?
A09274Is the poore man''s backe euer the warmer?
A09274It is God that iustifies; who shall condemne?
A09274It is dead: How must this be vnderstood?
A09274Likewise was not Rahab the Harlot iustified by workes?
A09274Lord thou art angry for we haue sinned Euen we by our sinnes haue hastened and increased the publique miseries?
A09274Nay, are they without fault, because themselues know not whether there be any in them: or no?
A09274No?
A09274Now in reason wherein ariseth this proportion of any work with that reward?
A09274Now what say our Aduersaries to this?
A09274Or doth S. Michael that hold''s, the Scales send him word, when their satisfactions weigh downe their Sinnes?
A09274Or ours?
A09274Or will it bee a truth from any mans tongue, to say, that he loues God with as great perfection as may be?
A09274Seest thou how faith wrought with his workes, and by workes was faith made perfect?
A09274Shall we finde this perfection in a Monkes Cell, or in a Hermits Lodge, an Anachorites Mue, vnder a Cardinals Hat, or in the Popes Chaire?
A09274Speakes the Prophet this out of confidence, that God vpon search and tryall, shall finde no euill in his heart and thoughts?
A09274Speakes the man reason?
A09274Stands it in the dignity of the worke it selfe; or in the compact made betweene him that worketh and him that rewardeth?
A09274Suppose a Man were made in his pure Naturals, would such disorderly motions be found i ● him?
A09274That a Faith without workes will not doe that?
A09274That a Sinner can not attaine to Sanctification by his owne strength: but he must attaine to it by the grace of God?
A09274Theirs?
A09274Then when they beleeue, and assoone as they beleeue, before they be Regenerate?

A09277For aske them, is not the inward disability of our soules to beleeve and convert a part of our corruption?
A09277For can hee that is dead in sinne bewaile his Spirituall death?
A09277For how can the Signe be denied unto them which have and enjoy the thing signified?
A09277For if he would have them come, why doth he not give them that inward worke of the Spirit, without which hee knowes they can not come?
A09277For if the Vnderstanding assent or dissent without understanding of whereto or from what, is not a non- ens the object of such an act?
A09277For let any man speake, Is it not as Honest a thing for wicked ang ● lls to beleeve what God saith, as it is for wicked men?
A09277For to what end is it?
A09277For what history of the Bible can be named that may not be plainly understood, I say not by a learned or godly, but even by any man?
A09277For why?
A09277Hadst thou not thought it?
A09277Hath the Word wrought in us an unfained hatred of that evill which we outwardly forsake, a sincere love of that good which outwardly wee practise?
A09277Have you seene how a tender infant in the apprehension of some danger approching runnes into the armes of his Parent for succour?
A09277Heare the Command, and that given to a dead man: But could these words doe any thing to raise him?
A09277How can that heart be a new heart, a contrite and broken heart sensible of sinne, which is not yet changed out of stone into flesh?
A09277How can yee that are evill speake good things?
A09277How doth Faith live by Charity?
A09277How know you that the Scriptures are Gods Word?
A09277How many prayers of the Saints doe wee finde they have made for knowledge, every where mentioned?
A09277How often is Faith and Knowledge coupled together?
A09277How shall wee know the word which the Lord hathnot spoken?
A09277How then doth the Holy Ghost reueale vnto vs the truth of Scriptures?
A09277How then was Christ described and crucified in the sight of these Galatians?
A09277How we come to see this Light?
A09277If Scriptures are plaine unto themselves, why did they not make them plaine unto others?
A09277If by it self, then why are not the Divels sanctified, who know more of Divinity than haply the learnedst man?
A09277If hee will it not seriously, why doth hee command them to doe that which hee knowes they can not, nay, we know he would not have them doe?
A09277If it doe take effect extraordinarily in some, how know they that?
A09277If it succeed ill, Contented Patience opposed to repining Thought; as, Why should not my Ministery be as effectuall as anothers is?
A09277If knowledge dare venter, what should ignorance doubt?
A09277If learning can not defend it selfe from common- vices, how should rudenesse and simplicity be safe?
A09277If not, wherein lies the dishonesty of that act in the angells, or wherein stands the honesty of that act in men?
A09277If one facultie can doe both, what reason is there to make two?
A09277If that were the cause, why doth hee not equally beleeve all, when Gods authority is the same in all?
A09277Is it by any proper worke of the Spirit distinct from the power of the Word?
A09277Is it from true love to God and Goodnesse, that he is content to be ruled in such things?
A09277Is it of the Law, or of the Gospell?
A09277Is it possible that the creature should bee thus ignorant of his Creators voice, thus presumptuous to censure him of rudenesse?
A09277Is it that knowledge of God and goodnesse whereto the Gentiles might come by the light of nature?
A09277Is it vanished?
A09277Is not the bestowing of them a fruit of his great mercy and love unto us?
A09277Is not this dissembling to say one thing and meane another, to will one thing in word, another in secret intent?
A09277Is there in the Scriptures the least intimation of such a strange and uncouth meaning, when it tells that wee are justified by Faith?
A09277Is this so rare a priviledge of nature?
A09277It sufficeth that God onely command them, if they can not obey, whose fault is that but their owne?
A09277Lastly, If we be asked, How know you that this is the right meaning of such or such a place?
A09277Lord, Lord, have wee not by thy name prophesied,& c?
A09277Man indeed had strength and hath lost it, but how?
A09277May a true prayer be made without the helpe of the Holy h Ghost?
A09277Nay more, what difference can be made betweene Sathans temptations and all the sacred suggestions of Gods word?
A09277No, is it not evident to us that the Scriptures are of God?
A09277Now hee hath him shall hee live in Gods sight?
A09277Now if Infants thus justified and sanctified depart this life, what should stoppe their passage to heaven?
A09277Now what is the issue of such an ill grounded beliefe?
A09277Now what is this else but to trust him?
A09277Now whence is all this frowardnesse?
A09277Quo ● odo resoluating 〈 ◊ 〉 si ● e?
A09277So Christ appearing to Saul, accosts him with this expostulatorie salutation,[ Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?]
A09277So Eliah to Elisha, What have I done unto thee?
A09277So should the Doctrine of Free- will in any kind whatsoeuer, fall to the ground: For how is the Will free, but because it may choose this or that?
A09277So that vnto such as aske, wherefore are the Mathematickes good?
A09277The Question is, How is it knowne certenly that the Scriptures are the very word of God?
A09277The Question then is this, Whether it be in mans power so to resist the grace of God, as finally to hinder his owne Conversion?
A09277The Scriptures are obscure, say they, but to whom trow yee?
A09277The truth of it: where in stands that?
A09277Their answere is, Because they bee the Word of God Yea but what perswades you to thinke so?
A09277They have no justifying faith?
A09277To the Question An Revelatio primae veritatis, ut sit formale objectum fidei, debeat esse obscura?
A09277To their learned Clergie and illuminated Doctors?
A09277To whom then?
A09277True, but what makes vs good trees?
A09277Vnde seis?
A09277Was it externall morall perswasion trow yee that hath made this wonderfull alteration?
A09277Well, but why doe you infallibly belieue that this is Gods word, and that this is the meaning of it?
A09277Well, is not then the infusion of an Ability to Beleeve and Convert, the doing away of that corruption?
A09277Well, what is this further or Greater grace?
A09277What Faith is it that is thus resolued, Theologicall or Humane?
A09277What can be done by a man after his Conversion, more than he can doe in these things before he be converted?
A09277What instance and example can bee given in so many ages of any one among these or other Gentiles, that hath been converted by this Sufficient grace?
A09277What is it then?
A09277What is now my duty?
A09277What is this Seed by which we are borne againe?
A09277What prophecy, the meaning whereof hath not, or will not be plainly found out?
A09277What saith is it then which is resolued into the Churches authority?
A09277What shall he doe then?
A09277What text of doctrine, whereof some have not or shall not understand the right meaning?
A09277What then must hee beleeve?
A09277What then should hinder why these Infants should not also be washed with the water of the Sacrament thereof?
A09277What then, Inward Calling there is none?
A09277What was that?
A09277What was the reason of that?
A09277What, Iustifying Faith?
A09277What, is it equall that he who transgresseth the Law in one point, should be held guilty of the breach of all the Commandements?
A09277When hee is in Ganaan, where bee now his great possessions?
A09277Whence then?
A09277Where then is any worke left for Grace?
A09277Whether God doe give unto all Christians grace sufficient to worke their conversion?
A09277Whether may the childe of such a one bee baptized?
A09277Whether the Gentiles out of the Church have grace given unto them sufficient for their conversion?
A09277Whether those upon whom such sufficient grace is bestowed, may if they list hinder their conversion by the power of their free- will?
A09277Who but Abraham would not here have quarrelled with God, and laid slacknesse, falshood, unjustice, and cruelty to his charge?
A09277Who sees not abroad in the world many wicked and ungodly wretches abounding in knowledge, and yet destitute of all true piety?
A09277Who would thinke himselfe wrongd that is thus blest, or imprisoned that is thus restrained?
A09277Why doe you belieue Purgatory?
A09277Why?
A09277Will there ever be a true Confession in the mouth when there is not Faith and Repentance in the heart?
A09277Yea but how know you infallibly they doe not erre in saying so?
A09277Yea but what are these actions?
A09277Yea, but how is all this done?
A09277Yea, but whence doth Faith fetch this argument?
A09277You know the doome; Take it away, why should it trouble the ground?
A09277[ And such were some of you: but yee are washed]: what''s that?
A09277[ Lord what wilt thou have mee to doe?]
A09277[ Thou beleevest that there is one God, thou doest well:][ the Divells also beleeve it:] and doe not they doe well too?
A09277againe when is this supernaturall knowledge bestowed on Pagans?
A09277and is it not so in the Divell, who as in knowledge he surpasseth the best of men, so in malice far exceeds the worst of all creatures?
A09277and what if they die before that age?
A09277and when t is once found out, may not all understand what one doth?
A09277are the Scriptures obscure, because some things are hard to be understood by the ignorant and unstable mindes?
A09277call we this a prerogative of Nature, and is it worth so much contention as hath beene made for it?
A09277have they it as soone as they come into the world?
A09277if so, t is Naturall: or is it given afterwards at yeares of discretion?
A09277if so, then t is not in Infants, and so not in all the Heathen, and at what yeares is it bestowed?
A09277is it in regard of it selfe, or in respect of the fruite?
A09277or it is some other supernaturall Revelation?
A09277our Iustification or our Sanctification?
A09277shall I beleeve, shall I obey, were I best doe this good worke, or shall I let it alone?
A09277to make it powerfull unto conversion in all to whom it is proposed?
A09277was it evident to the holy men of God to whom they were first inspired?
A09277what should hinder?
A09277whose fault is that but the Clergies?
A09277why so?
A09277yet aske them in their sorrowes and feares, can you beleeve in Christ, committing your soules unto him, depending only upon him and no other?
A2974812. and if the Lord had not told him, that His grace was sufficient for him, what would he have done?

A297488: 33, 34. who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect?
A29748And how do they hate such ministers, as preach such doctrine, as may serve to rouz th ● … m up, and set them a work about their own salvation?
A29748And how ready and prone are we, to receive and intertaine wrong apprehensions of all his wayes and dealings with his Church and people?
A29748And if it can not act faith, how can it come to Christ, and make use of Him?
A29748And is it not found oftentimes, that they are too too ready to leane to some thing beside Christ?
A29748And is not this most reasonable?
A29748And is not this rationall and easy?
A29748And is there any thing in Him which we have no need of?
A29748And on the other hand, who can tell the misery of such, as are strangers to Iesus?
A29748And should we not blesse the Lord, that hath provided such a compleet and alsufficient Mediator?
A29748And should we not submit to his wise dispensations?
A29748And they be led by the Spirit?
A29748And what is there more to be done, to procure us accesse?
A29748And what reason can plead for this double dealing?
A29748And who can tell how many, and how dreadful errors, they may drink ▪ in, who have once opened the door to a small errour?
A29748And who can tell, how soon He may come?
A29748And who more ready to compleane, then such as have least cause?
A29748And who seeth not what double dealing is here?
A29748And why, I pray, may not God dispose of his souldiers as He will?
A29748Are our spots this day the spots of his children?
A29748Are there fruits answerable to the Lord''s paines and labour about us, to be seen even among the greatest of Professours?
A29748Are there not some young strong men, in Christs family,& some that are but babe ● …?
A29748Art thou sure, that all thy paines shall be in vaine?
A29748But be it so, as it is alleiged, what if the fault be their owne?
A29748But can any say the tearms are hard, when all is offered freely?
A29748But how?
A29748But is there not even some of those, who are most tender, that compleane of their deadnesse and shortcomings?
A29748But is this it?
A29748But lastly it will be enquired, what can support the beleeving soul, in this case?
A29748But others get much more clearnesse?
A29748But thirdly Some may say ▪ How are then the promises of the covenant made good?
A29748But what can then, in the meane time, keep up the heart of a poor soul from si ● … king?
A29748But what can yeeld me any ground of peace, while itis so, that I see no pardon or remission granted to me?
A29748But what do they say, that will found this charge, and free us from casting iniquity upon them?
A29748But what if after all this, I finde no intimation of pardon to my soul?
A29748But what if for all this, I get no outgate, but my distress and darkness rather grow upon my hand?
A29748But what shall I do with the guilt of my weak Repentance, and weak faith?
A29748But whence hath the soul all this light?
A29748But who then, if not you?
A29748But why did he not speake more modestly of the new birth, lest men should remember that it was Jesus his own doctrine?
A29748But, it will be said, what if after all this, we get no outgate, but He hideth his face still from us?
A29748By what law?
A29748Dar I set limites to the holy one of Israel?
A29748Did He take upon him the office of a Prophet?
A29748Do we see and beleeve the atheisme of our hearts?

A29748He can desire no more, he can seek no more, for what can the man ▪ want, that is compleet in him?
A29748He is as high as heaven, what canst thou do?
A29748He offereth Himself really to us, and shall we not be reall in accepting of Him?
A29748He offers all freely, and did He ever reject any upon the want of a price in their hand?
A29748Hence some of his cry out, in their complaint, was there ever any so tempted, so assaulted with the devil, as I am?
A29748How Christ is Life, in this case?
A29748How a beleever in such a case should make use of Christ, as the Life, that he may be delivered therefrom?
A29748How a soul can act faith in such a case?
A29748How can he walk in the way, though it were pointed out to him?
A29748How can this be answered, in the day of accounts?
A29748How can we then but be troubled, when we finde not this promise made good?
A29748How great enemies are they to such ordinances, as serve to awaken sleeping consciences?
A29748How many heathens, as to this, shall outstripe such as professe themselves Christians?
A29748How many, of these few followers after holinesse, do move slowly, and promove little?
A29748How much better is thy love, then wine, and the smell of thine ointments then all spices?
A29748How ought all to be convinced of this, and humbled under the sense of it?
A29748How rare is it to meet with persons, that are not very well pleased and satisfied with themselves and their condition?
A29748How ready are we to put other things in his place?
A29748How ready are we to run either to the one extremity, or the other, in judging their persons, and actions?
A29748How ready to stiffle challenges of conscience, or any common motion of the Spirit, which tendeth to alarme their soul?

A29748How shall their wants be made up?
A29748How shall we enter into the right way?
A29748How should the Gospel of the Grace of God be esteemed by us?

A29748How then can his work miscarry?
A29748How then can such as do not eat become fat?
A29748How then can they prosper?
A29748How unanswereable it is unto our profession, who are members to such a holy Head, to be un holy?
A29748How unwilling are they, once to suspect their condition, or to suppose that it may be bad, and that they may be yet unconverted?
A29748How unwilling are they, to sit down seriously to try and 〈 ◊ 〉 the matter, and to lay their case to the touch- stone of the word?
A29748I grant that,& what knowest thou, but ● … hou may also get that favour ere thou die?
A29748If his truth thrive and prosper in some other place of the world, shall we not say, that his kingdome is coming?
A29748If it be asked, what warrand have poor sinners to lay hold on Christ, and grippe to him, as made of God righteousnesse?
A29748If it be enquired, why the Lord dispenseth so with his own people?
A29748If it were not so, why would Christ have said to beleevers, that He was life?
A29748Is He our Lord and Master, and should we not owne and avouch Him?
A29748Is he not a compleat mediator, thorowly fournished with all necessaries?
A29748Is it not reason, that we take him as God hath made him for us?
A29748Is it not thy duty, the more that corruption stirre, to run with it the oftner to Christ, that He may subdue it, and put it to silence?
A29748Is it not too oft seen, that they are under the spiritual plague of formality, which stealeth them off their feet here?
A29748Is not all to be found in Christ that their case calleth for?
A29748Is not the riches of his fulnesse written on all his dispensations?
A29748Is there any mourning for this?
A29748Is there any thing in him to be refused?
A29748Is there not all the reason then in the world for this, that we take Him wholly?
A29748Is this the reformation, that the reformed Church must be taken away and thrown down, to make way for the erection of this new monastry?
A29748It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A29748Know we the usefulness, yea necessity, of long winter nights, stormy blasts, hail, raine, snow and frost?
A29748May it not come in a day, that hath not come in a year?
A29748May not much of this flow from thy not laying the whole work so wholly off thy self, and upon Christ, as thou oughtest to do?
A29748May not the devil rage most, when he thinks ere long to be ejected?
A29748May not this satisfy thee, that God through grace accepteth thy labour and wreastling, as thy duty, and accounteth it service to Him, and obedience?
A29748May not thou improve this to advantage, by making many errands to Him?
A29748Nay should not this be looked upon as a very great encouragement?
A29748O What need have we of spirituall wisdome, that we may be better acquanted with his stratagems and wiles?
A29748O beleever; what matter of joy is here?
A29748O how little is this beleeved now?
A29748O how preferable doth he appeare, when indeed seen, to all things?
A29748O the inconceivable, and incomprehensible, boundlesness of all infinitly transcendent perfections?
A29748O what an excellent one must He be?
A29748Oh how sad is this?
A29748Or shall we limite all his work and interest to one small part of the world?
A29748Or thinks thou, that all his children have go ● … e victory alike soon over their lusts?
A29748Ought we not to take Him for all the ends and purposes, for which God hath appointed Him, and set Him forth, and offered Him to us?
A29748Satan is more cunning now, than to drive men to Popery by rage and cruelty;( and yet what he may be permitted to do after this manner, who can tell?)
A29748See we to the bottom of the deep contrivances of infinite wisdom?
A29748Shall Truth faile?
A29748Shall not the Truth be true?
A29748Shall we sin because we are not under grace, but under the law?
A29748Should not this be seen, mourned for, and helped?
A29748Should we be ashamed of him for any thing, that can befall us, upon that account?
A29748Sixtly, should not this be a strong inducement to all of us, to lay hold on and gripe to Him, who is the Truth, and only the Truth?
A29748The question therefore is, how we should make use of Jesus Christ for this end, that we may attaine to more of this excellent knowledge?
A29748They are looking for an outgate ▪ but get none?
A29748This is clear and manifest, and proved to be truth by dayly experience; yet how little is it beleeved, that it is so with us?
A29748Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God: And thereby he teacheth us to take this course, in times of temptation?
A29748VVherefore( and who can think it strange, if it be so?)
A29748VVho would not then be hereby alarmed, and upon their guaird, when matters are at this passe?
A29748What Master would not take that ill at his servants hands?
A29748What a kindly ● … lement would Grace be to us?
A29748What can be objected against this?
A29748What can that soul do, that is not sensible of this deadnesse and weaknesse?
A29748What cause is there then to complaine thus?
A29748What if God see it for thy advantage, that thou be keeped so in exercise for a time, to the end thou may be keeped Humble, Watchfull and Diligent?
A29748What if thou could not make ● … hat use of it, that others do, but wax proud thereby, and forget thy self?
A29748What knowest thou then, but they may be as much complaining, on other accounts, as thou dost on that?
A29748What more contradictory to the gospel of the grace of God?
A29748What shoutings Grace, Grace unto it, will be there; when the head stone shall be brought forth?
A29748What then can any suppose to lie here, which should scarre a soul from laying hold upon Him?
A29748What will they think to be challenged for this, in the great day?
A29748When they stirre not up the grace of God, which is in them, how can they belively?
A29748Where is boasting then?
A29748Where is the reall conviction of it?

A29748Who seek life any other way, than by and through Him, who is the Life?
A29748Who will not lay hold on this life, on Jesus who is the Life, sure life, yea everlasting life?
A29748Whose haire would not stand on end to hear this?)
A29748Why do we not covet after this knowledge, which hath a true and firme connexion with all the best and truely divine gifts?
A29748Why spend we our money for that which is not bread, and our labour for that which will not profite us?
A29748Why ● … hen will thou not waite his leasure?

A27029And are all Christ''s threatnings against himself, which are against us?
A27029And are they not required of us?
A27029And are those usually the wisest: Who is the Judge, now in the Turks Dominions?
A27029And can not we receive this plain Gospel, without spinning so many additional webs of our own?
A27029And did he call Faith, Works?
A27029And did not his Malice so work against Job, though God contradicted him?
A27029And do they tell us with any agreement what Righteousness of Christ they call Imputed?
A27029And doth not Paul most plainly and frequently say, we are Justified by it?
A27029And first we must enquire what Covenant he is a Sponsor of?
A27029And for whom is this s ● ● n so solemnly produced?
A27029And here, will not each man have right to anothers House, Wife, Food, Goods, if they are but one Person?
A27029And how few be there in the world, that embody not with some Sect or Faction, for the promoting of their Opinions?
A27029And how few that do not over- vilifie and wrong those from whom they differ?
A27029And how small a part of the Earth is so happy as to have the major part of the Clergy, wise, sound, honest and orthodox?
A27029And if but one, which is it?
A27029And if it be a Miracle, and as great a one as Christ''s Resurrection, How can any believer doubt at all?
A27029And if this be no subordinate Righteousness, what doth the word signify so many hundred times used in the Scripture?
A27029And if we are never the better for Love, Thanks, and Praises to God on earth, what the better shall we be for them in Heaven?
A27029And is not Faith a humane Act?
A27029And is not Satan the Accuser of the Brethren, and that before God?
A27029And is not that ours which is within us?
A27029And is that as great a Miracle as Christ''s Resurrection, that is wrought by so rational a means, used by man?
A27029And is this Kingdom and Divine Nature, nothing but that which Christ did without us, imputed to be done by us?
A27029And must we not be judged by this Law?
A27029And now tell me, whether there were ever damnable Hereticks in the World, if these be none?
A27029And of how ill a constitution is such a blind and partial conscience?
A27029And shall it not be imputed to him?
A27029And the other part of the Cause of that day, is, whether we have part in Christ, and the Merits of his Righteousness?
A27029And therefore Christs Righteousness is ever connoted when we talk of Faith: For what is the very Specification of the Act but the Object?
A27029And to take Righteousness to stand against Free Grace, if it be but our own?
A27029And what do they exercise strictness for, by thier self devised terms of their Church- Communion?
A27029And what is the meaning of all such Texts?
A27029And what would such a Nation come to?
A27029And whence is it that this sign of Election is prerequisite, but that Gods precept made it a duty, and the promise a condition?
A27029And where he giveth Grace which causeth the Act it self, did God Promise, it before hand to that man any more than to others?
A27029And where more erroneous, or more cruel?
A27029And whether Faith in God the Father, and the Holy Ghost, do justifie?
A27029And whether according to the Law of Innocency, he that had no sin or guilt of Commission or Omission, had not right to the Life there given?
A27029And whether to affirm it be not to equal it with Faith?
A27029And who think you will be Judge who shall suffer as Hereticks?
A27029And why is Faith named if it have no part in the Sense?
A27029And why would they have men read their Books, to do no good, and avoid no evil?
A27029And will not Christians know that Work and Doctrine of Gods Spirit in them?
A27029And will not Christians read the Bible?
A27029And will not God reckon him righteous that is righteous?
A27029And will not distinct personality continue to Men, as well as to Angels for ever?
A27029And, whether we have Right to the Heavenly Inheritance?
A27029Are Christ''s Graces his dishonour?
A27029Are any works of man meritorious?
A27029Are any works of man meritorious?
A27029Are regenerate believers, under any guilt of any but corrective punishment, or should ask pardon of any other?
A27029Are we not righteous by being one with Christ, as we are sinners by Vnion with Adam?
A27029Are we not under the Law[ of Christ and Faith, and Liberty] to Christ?
A27029As a sign?
A27029As an Antecedent?
A27029But how is it that God promiseth the Condition it self?
A27029But if they defend them, they are Hereticks: For how else shall we know whether they deny not Fundamentals?
A27029But is their chosen Metaphor[ of Going out, and Going to] an Act or no Act?
A27029But it was their sin once, before it was Christs sin?
A27029But stay a little: Is the condition promised to all that the conditional promise is made to?
A27029But we have no such Righteousness a ● they thus feign; when the Question is, whether we are s ● nners?
A27029But what Ignorance is it?
A27029But what remedy?
A27029But where doth the Scripture say so?
A27029By this Rule, we shall judge none Hereticks, but Infidels; f ● r who will ● xpresly renounce Christianity but they?
A27029Can any man judge 〈 ◊ 〉 hardly of men that overthr ● w all Religion?
A27029Can that do no hurt to the Elect, that maketh such calamitous Confusions in the World?
A27029Could ● e be Godly that said a ● d did so ● u ● h against the Truth, and so much to draw men t ● his Errors?
A27029Did Christ redeem us from under his own Government, and the Law of Grace?
A27029Did God send the Jews into Captivity to Babylon for sins that do the Elect no hurt; even for penitent Manasses''s sins?
A27029Did Paul call himself mad against the Saints, unworthy to be called an Apostle, a wretched man, for that which did him no hurt?
A27029Do they Excommunicate Christ for sin?
A27029Do those Churches exercise Discipline upon such as are one Person with Christ?
A27029Do those works save us that do not justify us?
A27029Do you mean that guilt resulteth from Gods part of the Covenant, or from Adams, or from his Posterities?
A27029Doth Christs Righteousness cause our Sanctification, in the same sort of Causality as it causeth our Justification?
A27029Doth Satan overcome him, when ever he overcometh us?
A27029Doth faith justify as a righteousness?
A27029Doth he command a Father to correct Christ, when he commandeth him to correct his Children?
A27029Doth he take Gods Word for his rule; or will he shame himself by saying that in all these God speaketh unfitly, and that he can mend his Language?
A27029Doth it cure Atheism, Infidelity, Drunkeness, Lust, though all Preachers condemn them?
A27029Doth not Christs righteousness cause our Sanctification in the same sort of causality as it causeth our Justification?
A27029Doth not this opinion contradict every Article of the Creed, every Petition in the Lords Prayer, and everyone of the Ten Commandements?
A27029For if Adam had merited his own glorification had not his works been both the meritorious cause, and the material?
A27029For who should accuse us?

A27029Hath Justification and Salvation the same conditions?
A27029Have you read Islebius, that turned from Antinomianism to be a Papist Bishop, and helpt to rectifie Luther''s Phrase, by calling him to oppose him?
A27029Have you read Luther on the Galathians?
A27029He that doth righteousness is righteous?
A27029He was not an antecedent surety, but a consequent?
A27029Here comes in also the Controversie whether Repentance be any Condition of Pardon, or Justification?
A27029How and why then is this called a Law of works?
A27029How can faith and repentance give a right to the righteousness of Christ, which must first give us that faith and repentance?
A27029How can faith or repentance entitle us to that righteousness of Christ which must first give us a right to themselves and all Grace?

A27029I will tell you how; Ask him first, whether he believe the Fundamental Truth?
A27029If all that Christ hath, be already ours, and we are as perfect as he, what can Duty, or more Grace, or Heaven, add to us?
A27029If all the Ministers in England subscribe a detestation of gross ignorance and pride, do you think it would cure them?
A27029If but to some, to whom?
A27029If he say, yea: Ask him whether if he knew that his Consequence contradicted or subverted it, which of the two he would let go?
A27029If it be no hurt to be mad, what is Bedlam good for?
A27029If then he attained the design of Christianity, was he not a Christian?

A27029In my Life of Faith, I have clearly explained it: And must I expect no Answer, and yet do all again?

A27029In what sense is Christs Righteousness imputed to us?
A27029Is Gods accepting Christs righteousness for us, the imputing of it?
A27029Is Pardon and Justification perfect the first moment?
A27029Is Pardon and Justification perfect the first moment?
A27029Is Prayer only a Thanksgiving?
A27029Is a man after his regeneration and Faith, ever obliged to any but temporal punishments, or need to ask pardon of any other?
A27029Is any more necessary to the keeping or not losing our Justification, than to its beginning?
A27029Is any one punished for pardoned sin?
A27029Is any one punished for sin that is pardoned?
A27029Is any thing plainer in all the Gospel?
A27029Is faith, and is repentance no means?
A27029Is future sin pardoned before?
A27029Is glorifying God inconsistent with seeking to be saved?
A27029Is his Law made for himself, that is made for us?
A27029Is it a matter of boasting that God commandeth when he commandeth us to repent and believe the Gospel?

A27029Is it no hurt accordingly to have the less of Glory in Heaven?
A27029Is it no hurt to have Faith, Love, Desire, and Joy, weak, and to have still the remnants of unbelief, and other such like sins?
A27029Is it no hurt to live and dye in terrible fear of Gods displeasure, and in doubts of our everlasting state?
A27029Is it no hurt to lose some degrees of Love and Holiness, which we have had?
A27029Is it not a vile abuse of his Grace, to contemn it, because it is our own?
A27029Is it not as it is the Perso ● s Faith?
A27029Is it not then too little, if it must be the Idem, and not the Aequivalens?
A27029Is it not unjust to punish him that Christ died for, even one sin twice?
A27029Is it possible, that that which is evil, and the greatest evil it self, can be in us, and done by us, and do us no hurt?
A27029Is it the Fa ● and not the Person that is to be judged?
A27029Is it to be the opposers of all Gods Laws?
A27029Is it to make up any imperfection in the Obedience or Righteousness of Christ?
A27029Is it true that Christs active obedience only meriteth Heaven for us, and therefore that only meriteth Sanctification?
A27029Is it true that we must be practical Antinomians unless we hold that only Christs active righteousness merited grace and glory for us?
A27029Is it worth their Zeal and Contention?
A27029Is justifying Faith an act of the understanding or will?
A27029Is nol ● e punire, or non punire,( not punishing) true pardon?
A27029Is not Christs Righteousness ours, as our sins were his by imputation?
A27029Is not Christs righteousness ours, as our sins were his, by im ● utation?
A27029Is not the Preaching of the Gospel a means of mens believing?
A27029Is not this Idolatry worse than Image- Worship, or than Anti- christianity?
A27029Is not this to trust to works?
A27029Is obedience a part of Justifying Faith?
A27029Is sin worse than suffering, if it can do no hurt?
A27029It is not for Christ to judge himself: It is not to judge God, whether he elected us?
A27029It is not to judge, whether we were of the Seed of Adam, or whether we ever sinned?
A27029Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A27029Lastly, you ask, What Righteousness Faith is imputed to?
A27029M ● st a believer any way plead his Faith, Repentance or Holiness to his Justification, or trust to them?
A27029Must 〈 ◊ 〉 ever trust at all to his faith, repentance, or holiness, or p ● ead it any way to his justification?
A27029No, nor so much hurt: But what need I more proof of this, than what Popery hath done these 800. or 900. years in the World?
A27029Obj ▪ It is prerequisite as an Instrument?
A27029Of what?
A27029Or is it Law that we shall not be Ruled and Judged by?
A27029Or is it[ that you may turn?]
A27029Or is there any transgression, if no Law?
A27029Or to be tormented with Stone, Collick, Convulsion, or any Disease; why will these Phanaticks seek to Physicians, use Medicines, and groan in Pain?
A27029Or whether the Law of Innocency condemn us; And our sin deserve everlasting Punishment?
A27029Or will you new mold it into an absolute Form?
A27029Or ▪ will you say that it is no Covenant?
A27029Should none pray but Reprobates, if others have no hurt to deprecate?
A27029So we unless we utter words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken?
A27029That speaketh but the Order: But what Antecedent is it?
A27029The Acts of Christ in the Divine and Humane Nature: Are these given us, and do we possess them in themselves?
A27029The Cause of that day, will not be, whether Christ be a sufficient Saviour, or have made sufficient satisfaction?
A27029The Law of Nature,( and so we say, The Civil Law, the Canon Law, Gods Law,& c.) Now the question is, what Covenant Christ was the Sponsor of?
A27029The question then is whether every believer be one person with Christ?
A27029The sum of all our Controversie is, what Righteousness believers have?
A27029Then there is some degree of turning necessary as a condition to the promised special gift of the Spirit?
A27029There is no man without many Errors: And do not all desire that others should take that for Truth, which they take to be Truth?
A27029Those men were not Hereticks, but men fals ● y a ● cus ● d of Heresie: Why instance you in Papist Tyrants?
A27029Thou art not an Adulterer, thou art not a sinful Person,( Why did Christ then justifie the confessing Publican?)
A27029To him that hath, shall be given: may not Faith be the gift of God, and yet be the condition of Justification and Salvation?
A27029Turn you at my reproof; behold I will pour out my Spirit to you; I will make known my Words unto you?

A27029Was it no hurt to the Elect to be long the Devil''s Servants, and to have our Conversion so long delayed, as with many it is?
A27029What Law is it that Paul calleth the Law of works which can not justify?

A27029Whether Grace be Grace, or Free, if it have any Condition?
A27029Whether our performance of the Condition of Justification doth efficiently justifie us?
A27029Whether that which is by Christs obedience, and by Faith, be the same?
A27029Whether the Acceptation of Christs Righteousness be the Imputation of it?
A27029Whether the Covenant of Grace, be made only with Christ, or with us also?
A27029Whether the sufferings of Christ merit our freedom from nothing but what he suffered in our ● tead?
A27029Whether we are justified by the Law of Innocency saying, Obey perfectly and live?

A27029Why do they not commend to us some better name for the same thing?
A27029Why do we not take up with the three first Petitions in the Lords Prayer, if our own Interest be not next to be regarded and prayed for?
A27029Why do you not say so then, not that it hath no Conditions, but that it is a conditional Promise equal to an absolute?
A27029Why doth he Sanctify us, and bid us seek and strive to enter?
A27029Why hath God put Fear into our Nature, if nothing can hurt us?
A27029Why hurt we others by Self- defence ▪ and War, if nothing can hurt us?
A27029Why is he called Least, in the Kingdom of God, who breaketh the least Commandement, and teacheth men so?
A27029Why is it worse to be cast into the Sea with a Mill- stone, for scandalizing the least, if that scandal can not hurt them?
A27029Why is man''s nature afraid of Devils, and the Serpents seed, if they can not hurt us?
A27029Why is the Education of Children so great a Duty, and he that spareth the Rod, hateth his Child, if sin will do them no hurt?
A27029Why make you so much Complaint against Vnreforme ● ness?
A27029Why must Rulers be Just, and a Terrour to them that do evil, if sin do no hurt?
A27029Why must fasting, and watchfulness, and resisting temptations be used against Lust, and other sin, if it can do no hurt?
A27029Why pray they for Reformation, and Church- prosperity, and the Thousand Years Glorious State, if sin be so harmless a thing?
A27029Why should we compassionate the poor, or sick, if sin do no hurt to them?

A27029who is Judge in Muscovy, where Preaching is forbidden?
A27029§ 5 Whither need we to go for an instance of this unhappiness, but to our controversies about Justification?
A30248& c. Must not this pierce into the very bowels of David?
A30248& c. so may we, To what wicked man hath God poured out his love, revealed himself kindly, as unto the godly?
A3024812. for the spirit of prayer and mourning together, if it were so easie and customary a work?
A3024814. d ● Verbis Apostoli, on those words, He that beleeveth not shall be damned, makes this question, Vbi ponis parvulos baptizatos?
A302482. the Church is reproved for abating in her first love; and the people of God complain, Why hast thou hardened our hearts from thy fear?
A3024832. who, while he humbled not himself for his sin, found nothing but terrour and trouble in his own soul?
A302485 excite himself to run like a Gyant in his ministerial race, because of the terror of the Lord at the day of Judgement?
A302487. complaineth of that evil in him, and law of sinne, can we think he never desired the pardon of it?
A302488. are these groans unutterable wrought by the Spirit of God in us at that time?
A302488. what a challenge Paul there makes, Who shal lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A30248A second Objection may be, Why repentance wrought by the Spirit of God is not enough to remove sin in the guilt of it?
A30248Again, It is for comfort to the godly, what though Satan, thy own heart, and the world doth condemn thee?
A30248Alas, it is a godly mans aggravation of this guilt, why doth he not apply the Promises as formerly?
A30248And as for that other Question, Whether they may not frequently commit the same sins?
A30248And as for wicked men, they have no beauty at all in them; and therefore how can sinne make such a blot in them?
A30248And certainly, if this Doctrine were true, why did Paul say, Though I made you sorry, I did not repent?
A30248And how can this be, but by Gods Spirit revealing his purpose of Election, concerning the just mans Salvation?
A30248And if the Question be made, Whether the phrase of covering sinne, make for that errour, That God doth not see sin in beleevers offending?
A30248And if the elect before they believe or repent were thus happy, how then at the same time could they be children of wrath?
A30248And if this be so, why should Arminians be blamed, for saying, We may be the children of God to day, and the children of the devil to morrow?
A30248And this is to incourage great sinners; ten thousand talents was a great summe of money, yet how easily forgiven by that kinde Master?
A30248Another Question may be, What Directions are to be given unto a soul tempted about the pardon of sin?
A30248Art thou as one ashamed in the presence of so glorious a God?
A30248As David many moneths after he had sinned, praieth God, To blot out his sinne: why, where was his sin?
A30248But before we can come to that, another Doubt must be rouled out of the way, and that is, What sinne is, and what are the proper effects of sinne?
A30248But did not God see sin in Moses, when for his unbelief he kept him out of Canaan?
A30248But doth not the Scripture give to God the knowledge of all things?
A30248But first, Observe his contradiction, The Gospel doth abolish sin in the beleever; how can that be, when he holdeth there is no sin to be abolished?
A30248But how could David have any boldness here, till there was a cole of fire from the Altar to sanctifie him?
A30248But how unanswerably do the Orthodox prove, a peculiar instrumental vertue in faith for pardon, which others have not?
A30248But may not we strike the adversary with his own reason in this manner?
A30248But presently upon his Reproof, How doth this Mountain melt like wax before the fire?
A30248But what sin is not possible( except that against the holy Ghost) even to a regenerate man?
A30248But will this comfort my conscience, if they say at the same time, though God doth not see it, yet he knoweth it?
A30248But you may ask, How could she come to know her sins were forgiven, before Christ told her?
A30248But you may say, Why should not repentance be as great a good, and as much honour God, as sinne is an evil?
A30248By this instance, how watchfull should godly parents be, lest for their sins committed, a curse should cleave to the family for many generations?
A30248Can a man repent of any ● hing but what is past?
A30248Can any one make the meaning to be, that God would not give them the assurance of their forgiveness?
A30248Certainly Joseph did upon a good ground, abstain from sin, when he said, How can I do this, and sinne against God?
A30248Covering of sin, How can that be understood, if sin be not with some loathsomnes?
A30248David crying out, Who can understand his errors?
A30248Deus praecipit, said Tertul ● ian: Is it good to repent, or not?
A30248Did Daniel thus among the Lions?
A30248Did I not give unto thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel?
A30248Did Jonah pray thus in the Whales belly?
A30248Did he not finde such anguish, and consumption in his soul, that he thought no words could express it?
A30248Did he not see sin in Jonah, who would fain have run from Gods face, that he might not have seen him?
A30248Did not I choose thy father out of all the Tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer upon my Altar?
A30248Did not he see sin in David, though pardoned, grievously chastising him afterwards?
A30248Did the thief thus upon the crosse?
A30248Didst thou not judge the least of his anger falling upon thee more terrible, then all the pains and miseries that ever thou wast plunged into?
A30248For how cometh David to be thus affected with forgivenesse of his sins?
A30248For what is that, but an overcoming the accusing adversary, and clearing of us against every charge?
A30248For what is the reason there can be no godly sorrow in heaven, there was none in the state of innocency, but because there was no sin there?
A30248From the former, Doth God in pardoning, cover sinne?
A30248God hath shut me out like the unclean leper, and whither shall I go?
A30248God said of Ahab, though humbled for externall motives only, Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself?
A30248Hath he not bought Repentance at a dear rate?
A30248Hath not God commanded it?
A30248He may forgive such and such sins, but can these great mountains ever be removed out of his sight, sins of such a magnitude and aggravation?
A30248He spake as if he had porcinam animam, the soul or life of an hog; for, what good is corn and wine to a mans soul?
A30248He that formed the eye, shall not he see?
A30248He that maketh man to know, shall not he know?
A30248Hence they have been called by some the little Bible, or the Bible of the Bible?
A30248Here is no mention of Grace at all; Can any from hence infer therefore, a wicked man without Gods Grace, is able to turn to God?
A30248Here we see is intercession for sin, and a way for Remission; but how?
A30248Hierom complained of his distractions and dulness in praier, Siccine putas orasse Jonam?
A30248His master was wroth, and delivered him to the t ● rmentors, till he had paid all that was due?
A30248How absurd would it be, for a man to go and confess the sins he will commit?
A30248How angry also was God with David after his murder and adultery?
A30248How can I provoke him to anger?
A30248How desperate had Peters condition been, if this had been true?
A30248How easily might we think, What hope is there to have me speed?
A30248How is that woman of Canaan commended for her faith?
A30248How justification can be said to be pardon of sin?
A30248How often do we fail in the manner of a command, as Vzzah in the order?
A30248How often do we sin voluntarily and willingly after we are inlightned?
A30248How often out of pride and self- confidence do we number our earthly props, and refuges, relying upon them?
A30248How shall I look up into Heaven any more?
A30248How then can such a perswasion of forgiveness cause a neglect of the means?
A30248How unadvised are our thoughts and words?
A30248How unpardonable is this error, to make that which was a speciall tendernesse of godly sorrow upon David, to be a part of his humane weaknesse?
A30248How unwilling to acknowledge our debts, to confesse them to God?
A30248I can not dissemble it, I can not hide it; oh what shall I do?
A30248I finde them all cancelled; Is not this blessednes indeed?
A30248If God do this in the order of natural things, how much more of supernatural?
A30248If a man should expect health and life, yet never eat or drink, would you not say, he tempted God, and was a murderer of himself?
A30248If he hath removed greater, will he think much at the lesse?
A30248If he that despised Moses his Law, died without mercy: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy?
A30248If one man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him, but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?
A30248If the frowning of a King be like the roaring of a Lion, how terrible then are the frowns of God for sin?
A30248If therefore the Word of God give no such encouragement, what presumption is it to make a faith, that all sins are pardoned, the Gospel- faith?
A30248If therefore when asked, How dost thou hope to have thy sins pardoned?
A30248If they be asked, How they hope to be saved?
A30248If thy sins be not brought into the Court, what need any pleading for thee?
A30248If you ask Peter why he weeps bitterly, will he not say, Because he offended God?
A30248If you say, Why then is repentance and faith pressed so necessarily, that God doth not forgive without it?
A30248In these times of warre, while we have been under continual fears of an enemie, vvhat could rightly support us, but remission of our sins?
A30248Infants are glorified without fruits meet for repentance, Therefore men grown up also may be, How absurd would that be?
A30248Is God as well pleased with Peter denying Christ, as Peter repenting?
A30248Is any man sick?
A30248Is not forgiveness making of a sin not to be, as you have heard?
A30248Is not this an aggravation which God taketh notice of?
A30248It is disputed, Whether it be a natural precept, or a meer positive command; and if it be a natural or moral command, to which command it is reduced?
A30248It is true the Orthodox call upon those who lie groveling in their swinish lusts to come unto Christ, and to believe in him; but what is that faith?
A30248It s disputed also, When this time of repentance doth binde?
A30248It will be further demanded, But how doest thou hope to have thy sins of thy repentance taken away?
A30248Its disputed, Whether sin have an infinite evil and deformity in it?
A30248Justus quis est, nisi qui amanti se Deo vicem rependit amoris?
A30248Lastly, Their sins are offences against God, and can God be offended with that which he doth not behold?
A30248Now although this be true, yet how few do reform their judgements in this point?
A30248Now can the Spirit of God, which is also God, be grieved( to speak after the manner of men) at our sins, and not take notice of them?
A30248Now for the godly to sin, it is to deface this seal, and if it be so great an offence to violate humane seals, how much more divine?
A30248Now from hence we may justly take an occasion to handle that Question, Whether God in pardoning do forgive all sins together?
A30248Now how can a man be said to forsake that which is not, to leave that which is future?
A30248Now how can this Apostolicall assertion be true, if so be God took no notice, or were not offended at the sins of his people?
A30248Now how contrary is this to Gods dispensation revealed in the Scripture?
A30248Now how great a contradiction is this to his other assertion?
A30248Now how little of the heart is in most mens humiliations?
A30248Now lest any should think What is this to us in the times of the Gospel?
A30248Now the Master of the feast may say to him, How camest thou in here without a wedding Garment?
A30248Now the Objection may be, How can sinne thus far prevail in the filth and guilt of it, and yet the man so sinning not fall from his Justification?
A30248Now thou that in thy repentance feelest Gods displeasure, art ready to cry out, Why dost thou forsake me?
A30248Now what are all Davids pleasures, all his lustful delights to these wounds of his soul?
A30248Now who can deny but that even a godly man may fall into some hainous crime, for which he may receive a sentence of death?
A30248Now who can deny but that this is true of Paul, while no believer, but an opposer of godlinesse?
A30248Now, can God be angry, and that in so high a degree, with that which he doth not see, or take notice of?
A30248O what comfort do those pleasures, those lusts now afford him?
A30248O where is Davids heart that it doth not smite him all this while?
A30248Oh how dear doth every pleasant or profitable sin cost thee?
A30248Ought not the person offending also to judge the same things about himself?
A30248Quid clarius?
A30248Quidni totis artubus contremiscat ranuncula è palude accedens ad thronum Regis?
A30248Remember the action of sinne doth passe away, but not the sinne; you may therefore ask, Wherein doth the sin continue still?
A30248Secondly, If the Gospel be so powerfull to abolish sin, why will he have the Law preached to obstinate sinners?
A30248Shall David be thought in hast and rashnesse, to say, Against thee have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight?
A30248Sic Danielem inter leones?
A30248Sic latronem in cruce?
A30248So if a man hope for pardon, and yet never debase or loath himself repenting of his sins, will you not ● ● y, he is a murderer of his soul?
A30248THe next Question to be considered, is, Whether in this prayer, we pray only for the Assurance of Pardon, not Pardon it self?
A30248Tell me ye afflicted and wounded for sin, is not this the best oyl that can be poured into your sores?
A30248Tenthly, What an empty Cobweb is this distinction, even for that very purpose they bring it?
A30248The Apostle might well say, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A30248The Heathens have confessed this, and so argued, If God should change, it would be either for better or worse; for worse, how could it be imagined?
A30248The Psalmist also saith, God is angry with the wicked every day; Was not this true of Manasses before his conversion?
A30248The calamity was generall, and who can say, none of the Justified suffered under it?
A30248The first Doubt is, What kinde of act in God forgivenesse of sin is?
A30248The first Objection therefore may be, To what purpose doth God require Repentance, seeing it is no cause of pardon?
A30248The first in order that should be discussed is, What remission of sin is; Or, What is meant, when we say, God doth forgive sinne?
A30248The first is, If sinne be in the regenerate, yet covered and not imputed, How will this stand with the omnisciency, truth and holinesse of God?
A30248The people of God have still sin, pride, and hardnesse of heart remaining in them, and shall a Minister preach the Gospel to his pride?
A30248The second thing considerable is, What kinde of sins these are?
A30248There will then be no complaints, Why hath the Lord forsaken me?
A30248Therefore let not the troubled heart say, where is my perfect repenting?
A30248Think you this to be the voice of the Scriptures?
A30248This Bernard urged, When, saith he, we urge men to repent, they say, this is durus sermo, an hard speech, who can bear it?
A30248Thou therefore who sayest, God the Father is not offended, why then doth Christ perform the Office of an Advocate?
A30248Throwing them into the sea, what doth this imply?
A30248Thus when Aaron had made the Idolatrous Calf, how angry was God both with Aaron and the people?
A30248To this what do they answer?
A30248Two in a Bed, in a Family, in a Parish, one Justified, and the other condemned; What Grac ● is this?
A30248VVE come in the next place to declare, How far a regenerate man upon the commission of such grosse sins, doth make a breach upon his Justification?
A30248Were not all the sins men are afflicted for in Gods Word, because they had done them, not because they were to do them?
A30248Were not they in Christ, and their sins laid upon Christ?
A30248What a Cordiall and reviver would it be to Gods people, to live in the power of this gift bestowed upon them?
A30248What a cutting sword must this needs be in Eli''s heart?
A30248What devil, what conscience, what law may accuse thee when God justifieth thee?
A30248What direct Antipodes are these to Scripture- directions?
A30248What is that which makes me still to be reputed of as if I were a sinner in the very act?
A30248What makes hell and damnation, but meerly not forgivenesse?
A30248What necessity is there, that besides this there should be a special and gracious act of God to pardon?
A30248What need a Christ to justifie, if there were no fault?
A30248When David was reproved, how presently did he melt and condemn himself?
A30248When he giveth quietnesse, who then can make trouble?
A30248When the Apostle John makes this argument, He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how shall he love God, whom he hath not seen?
A30248Where can we finde any one man punished for a future sin?
A30248Where is thy faith?
A30248Where put you little children baptized?
A30248Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord?
A30248Whether God doth justifie or forgive our sins before we believe or repent?
A30248Whether a Believer repenting and suing for pardon, is to make any difference between a great sin and a lesse?
A30248Who are they that say, sins are actually pardoned before conversion?
A30248Who can lay trouble on thy soul, binde thee in chains, and throw thee into hell, but God?
A30248Who is a righteous man, but he that returneth love to God, for Gods loving of him?
A30248Who shall charge any thing?
A30248Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A30248Who would not think that while Gods goodness in the Scripture is thus unfolded, there should not be a dejected, unbeleeving Christian in the world?
A30248Why doubtest thou?
A30248Why is he not had into the Spouses Wine- cellar?
A30248Why is he, as if there were no bloud of Christ, wherein these Egyptians are drowned?
A30248Why is the godly penitent, as if his sins were alwaies in bloudy characters before God?
A30248Why should not the Frog coming out of the lake to the Kings Throne, altogether tremble?
A30248Why should this be spoken, but because they are for our sins?
A30248Without a gracious solicitude and diligent depending upon God, how quickly may a star become like a dunghil?
A30248Would not such a prohibition be ridiculous?
A30248and if he may have the same faith, why not then the same consolations, and joy in conscience?
A30248and in what darkness would he live alwayes?
A30248and must not all say this is a chastisement upon him because of his sin?
A30248and so God imputing their sins to them, Can God impute their sins to them, and not impute them to them at the same time?
A30248and thus he that gave man and Angels this perfection of freedom, shall not he much more be free?
A30248and what God would have the Magistrate do, is it not as much as if God himself had done?
A30248and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
A30248and who but God can command all the tempests and waves in thy troubled soul to be still?
A30248as if our transgressions had subdued his goodnesse, and thrown it into the bottom of the Sea?
A30248as much pleased with David in his adultery and murder, as when making his penitential Psalm?
A30248because sin is too strong for us, is it therefore too much for the grace of God also?
A30248but rather ask, where is Gods forgiving?
A30248doth there need the bloud of Christ to remove these?
A30248even this very thing may support; for how could there be Justification, if there were not a charge?
A30248for were not the godly under the Old Testament actually converted?
A30248forgiven: again, If thou dost well, is not Levatio, that is, pardon and ease?
A30248had they not Christs righteousnes made theirs?
A30248he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
A30248how cometh it about then, that they were afflicted for sin, and not believers under the New Testament?
A30248how hardly is the soul drawn off from resting in it self?
A30248if ye be buffeted for your faults?
A30248s ● ith Bellarmine: What is more clear then this place?
A30248shall I weep because God is angry when he is not angry?
A30248shall our sin abound to condemnation, more then his grace to justification?
A30248shall we comfort them, because their hearts are sometimes dull and froward?
A30248that he hath sin in him when he is afflicted) what is this( saith he) but to deny Christ and his bloud?
A30248the Church crieth out, Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
A30248then with what boldnesse may true faith triumph?
A30248was not David in his fall, till recovered, like a tree in winter?
A30248were they not elected?
A30248where is Gods not imputing?
A30248where is my perfect obedience?
A30248wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice?
A30248whether they may be called sins of infirmity, though so atrocious in their nature, or raigning sins?
A30248who can hinder it, or invalidate it?
A30248who can then condemn?
A30248who will compare some deformed Thersites to a fair Absalom, because of some imaginary beauty which is not in him?
A30248who would desire it?
A30248who would magnifie grace?
A30248whose diseases were greater then mine?
A30248why hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do this evil in his sight?
A30248will nothing content thee, unlesse thou thy self art able to pay God the utmost farthing?
A30248yea, is not he bound then to apprehend God estranged from him?
A26862& that which hath had a great hand in turning many learned men from the Protestant Religion to Popery?
A26862& upon the terms of the first severer Covenant?
A268621 DOth not the Apostle say, that as touching the Righteousness which is in the Law, he was blameless?
A268622. Who ever called Habits, or Dispositions, the souls Instruments?
A268622. whether in his suffering and our escape the threatning of the Law was executed or dispensed with?
A2686227. what can be plainer?
A2686227. where( among other things) hee telleth you that Apud Romanos seu ferenda esset Lex, populus rogabatur an ferrivellet?
A2686239, 40, And must not they strive to enter in at the straight gate, and lay violent hands on the Kingdome of Heaven?
A268624, 5, 6?
A268625. that for these things sake cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience?
A268626, Do you not think that you may and must seek after the enjoyment of God in those beginnings and fore- tasts which are here to be expected?
A26862A great question it is, Whether Remission and Justification be immanent or transient Acts of God?
A26862Againe, doe you meane an habituall qualification or an Actuall?
A26862Also doth not the Scripture bid us Repent, believe, and be baptized for the remission of sinnes; but not first to believe the Remission of our sinnes?
A26862And Moses, because he had respect to the recompence of Reward?
A26862And all that cloud of witnesses obey and suffer, that they might attain a better Resurrection?
A26862And are not Precepts to put us on to dutie?
A26862And can it be any other then the obtaining of the fruition of God in Heaven?
A26862And do I after all this need to answer the Common objections, that it is mercenarie and slavish, to labour for salvation?
A26862And hath not every duty its end even for our selves?
A26862And hath that no hand in their Iustification, which giveth them right to the tree of Life?
A26862And how will these mistaken Teachers help them to comfort?
A26862And if Love be an Act of the same Will, and have the same Object with Consent, Election, Acceptance,& c. Why should it not then be the same Act?
A26862And if dispensed with, how it can stand with the truth and justice of God?
A26862And if so, whether his misery on Earth should have bin more then men doe now endure?
A26862And if the righteous be scarcely saved, what shall become of them that thought it unlawfull to labour for salvation?
A26862And if we are not one reall Person with Christ, then one what?
A26862And is not earnest praying for life, pardon, and salvation, some proper kind of doing?
A26862And is not this properly a condition required of the party if he will enjoy the thing promised?
A26862And is remission and justification the immediate effect of Christs death?
A26862And might he not conclude his Justification from that Willingness to obey?
A26862And now the Question is, whether Christs suffering were the payment of the very debt, or of somewhat else in its stead?
A26862And once more let me intreat you to consider, whether there be any hope of that mans salvation, who shall reduce this your doctrine into his practise?
A26862And so whether the new Covenant do at all command us perfect obedience?
A26862And that beleeving is needless, not only as to our Justification, but to any other use: For what need one thing be so twice done?
A26862And then whether the new Covenant be not absolute?
A26862And what Law( to speak properly) did binde him to them?
A26862And what are the conditionall promises for, but to stirre us up to believe and to performe the conditions, that so we may enjoy the promised good?
A26862And what death it is that perishing infants die, or that our guilt in the first transgression doth procure?
A26862And what is that but to fear the losse of Heaven, or to fear Hell?
A26862And what saith Grotius more then this?
A26862And whether sinners may thence be encouraged to conceive some hope of a relaxation of the threatnings in the Gospell?
A26862And whether the faithfull may not feare lest God may relaxe a promise as well as a threatning?
A26862And whether the losse of Gods Image were part of the death threatned, or rather the effect of our sinne onely, executed by our selves, and not by God?
A26862And whether those that seek not, and labour not for it, be not shut out?
A26862And who dare say, that Faith hath such an influx into our Justification?
A26862And why are the Threatnings but with the fear of the evill threatned to deterre us from the sinne, and to the dutie?
A26862And why not to our entire continued justification on earth?
A26862And why then should we think that we were immediately delivered from the guilt and condemnation?
A26862And yet do you think you may not act or work for life and salvation?
A26862And yet you know well enough, that this excuseth not you from your duty; and why then should it excuse you from using means for your soul?
A26862Are not all these promises to wicked men?
A26862Are you in Heaven already?
A26862As 1. what death it was that Christ redeemed us from?
A26862Besides, if any of these three could have been taken off, what need Christ have dyed?
A26862But God dealeth with his Creature by way of legall government?
A26862But I pray you tell me, Have you received all the life and mercy you do expect?
A26862But all the question is, whether we may do it that we may live?
A26862But doth it therefore follow, that Christ dispenseth then to none but those that are in him?
A26862But how shall we know that?
A26862But how then is Ahabs and Nineve''s humiliation accepted, and such other works of those that are not in Christ, seeing they are yet under the Law?
A26862But how would you comfort such a one, that faith he can not beleeve?
A26862But is not this Antinomianism, which you so detest?
A26862But is not this conditionall promise made to them before they return?
A26862But now St. Iames his question is, What is the Condition of our Justification by this Righteousness of Christ?
A26862But the great Question is, Whether the Sacrament do seal to the conclusion also, That I am justified, and shall be saved?
A26862But though Faith be not the Instrument of Justification; may it not be called the Instrument of receiving Christ who Justifieth us?
A26862But what difference is there betwixt it and the Socinian Doctrin of Justification?
A26862But when shall I take him for one that will not heare the Church?
A26862But whether to this alone, is all the doubt?
A26862But your doubt may be, whether they did not deserve damnation while they were in their unbelief for resisting Grace?
A26862But, is our personal Righteousness perfect as it is measured by the New Rule?
A26862By what Law?
A26862Can Justice refuse to accept of such a payment?
A26862Can any more be said of Faith, then that we are justified or judged to Life, both[ for] it, and[ according to] it?
A26862Consider then, if even many that seek to enter shall not be able, whether they are like to enter that never seek?
A26862Did ever any sober man make such a Covenant with Christ, as to promise him never to sin against him?
A26862Did he not deall with him in rigorous Justice?
A26862Did he obey a Law not yet made?
A26862Did not Abraham obey because he looked for a Citie which had foundations?
A26862Did not God give Cain a title to his Superiority and Government, and the Israelites Title to the Land of Promise?
A26862Did not Paul therefore keep under his bodie, and bring it into subjection, lest when he had preached to others, himself should be a cast- away?
A26862Do I need to apply this in the present case or can not every man apply it?
A26862Do men enquire after that, and lament the want of it, which they are not willing to have?
A26862Do not all that confesse themselves strangers on earth, plainlie declare that they seek another Countrie?
A26862Do you all this in meer love, or thankfulnesse, or from obedience which hath no further end?
A26862Do you not forget to make a difference betwixt earth and Heaven?
A26862Do you not hereby insinuate an accusation of vanity at least against God and his Lawes?
A26862Do you think you may act for your naturall life, to preserve it, or recover and repair any decayings in it?
A26862Doe these men thinke that we are perfectly justified and saved already?
A26862Doe you meane it is a qualification which he hath before the Promise is made to him?
A26862Doth his Law threaten, or did we in our Covenant consent, that we should be condemned if ever we committed a gross sin?
A26862Doth it not much confirm the world in their soul- cozening Faith?
A26862Doth it not needlesly constrain men to wrest most plain and frequent expressions of Scripture?
A26862Doth not almost all the Scripture for the doctrinall part consist of these?
A26862Doth not he that never believeth break this Law or Covenant, and incur the penalty?
A26862Doth not that clearely intimate, that Christ was not in the Obligation?
A26862Doth this Act effect by suffering?
A26862Else how could the Redeemed be by nature the children of wrath?
A26862FRom all this you may gather part of the Answer to your next Question: why I except against the book called, The Marrow of Modern Divinity?
A26862For if men do once beleeve, that it is not so much as a part of the Condition of their Justification, will it not much tend to relax their diligence?
A26862For is not Faith a work or act of ours?
A26862For is this Covenant made with Christ?
A26862For it is one thing to ask, whether it binde upon the old Covenant terms?
A26862For search the Scriptures impartially and consider, whether seeking Heaven be not necessarie to the obtaining of it?
A26862For( as Aquinus) The Action of the principall Cause and of the Instrument is one Action: and who dare say, that Faith is so Gods Instrument?
A26862Gods glory and your salvation, not disjunct, but conjunct, are all the businesse you have to look after: What do you live for?
A26862Had Christ, think you, a hard heart to cure?
A26862Hath not Christ redeemed your body also?
A26862Have you all the grace that you need or desire in degree?
A26862He promised and gave them both Prophets and Apostles; was it no promise or mercy, because they killed and persecuted them?
A26862He states the question far otherwise,( and yet supposeth it the same) viz, whether Christ paid the Idem, or the Tantundem?
A26862He that is not yet a sinner in the highest degree, is he not so far Righteous by a personall Righteousness?
A26862How Faith and Repentance are both promised of God, and required of us; Can they be his conditions and ours too?
A26862How can he call it, A gracious Acceptation, a gracious imputation, a free Application, if it were the same thing which the Law required that was paid?
A26862How can the Act of Believing( which hath no other being, but to be an Act) be possibly a Passive Instrument?
A26862How can you make it appear, that Do this and live is not the proper voyce of the Covenant of Works?
A26862How commonly doth Scripture joyn his Offices together, calling him usually, Our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ?
A26862How could Christ be the Mediator of the Covenant, if it were to himself, and not to us, that the Covenant were made?
A26862How could the Precepts delivered by Moses( when the old Covenant was violated, and the new established) belong to that old Covenant?
A26862How far this Grace is resistible?
A26862How long will it be till all the curse be taken off the Beleevers, and Redemption have attained its full effect?
A26862How many score places in the Psalmes and Prophet, doe mention promises and Covenants of God to ungodly Israelites?
A26862How you will make it appear, that the new Covenant is not made with Christ only?
A26862I desire him to tell me, whether he can prove that any mans sinnes are pardoned before they have accepted Christ for their Lord?
A26862I pray you tell me, Do you ever use to pray or no?
A26862If Christ have fulfilled the new Covenant for us, as well as the old, what need we do it again?
A26862If Christ were before you, would you accept him, or reject him?
A26862If Works be not then considered as part of the Condition; how then?
A26862If he did, upon what conditions is that satisfaction enjoyed by us?
A26862If he say, I am not willing: I should ask; Why then do you look after it, or regard it?
A26862If it were granted that Christ did receive the Sacrament; yet he never did as an obedientiall Act to his own Gospell precepts?
A26862If not, why may you not labour for that you have not, as well as be thankfull for that you have?
A26862If sincere obedience be a part of the Condition, then what perplexities will it cast us into to finde out, when our obedience is sincere?
A26862If such a word were in Scripture, will he not confesse it to be figurative, and not proper, and so not fit for this Dispute?
A26862If the Law be relaxable, whether God might not have freely remitted the offence, and have spared his Son his satisfactory sufferings?
A26862If we are called holy, because of an imperfect Holiness: then why not righteous, because of an imperfect Righteousness?
A26862If you ask me further, Why did Christ chuse this rather then any thing else for the Condition?
A26862In what sence doth the Decalogue belong to the new Covenant?
A26862In what sence then is Faith said to be imputed to us for righteousness, if it be our Righteousness it self?
A26862Is it lesse worth, or doth not God require it, or will he not give you leave?
A26862Is it not a wonder that this lamentable Comforter should be so valued by the troubled spirits?
A26862Is it not said, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous person,& c. shall enter into the Kingdom of Christ, or of God?
A26862Is it not strange that Active justification should be perfected 5000. yeares before Passive justification is in being?
A26862Is it not then a likelier way to procure their consent, to treat with them in prison, then to let them out, and then treat?
A26862Is it onely for your body, or also for your soul?
A26862Is it onely that you may be thankfull for life and mercie?
A26862Is not this spoken to Unbeleevers?
A26862Is this Law?
A26862Isaac is Gods mouth in blessing Esau: Were all the Israelites godly, to whom the Land of Canaan was promised and given?
A26862It is agreed, that removens impedimentum quâ talis, is Causa sine quâ non: And doth not the greatest part of a Phisitians skill lye there?
A26862It yet remaines under dispute whether the Threat speak not de eventu, as to the sinne, though but de jure, as to the sinner?
A26862Lastlie, how is it that you do not see, that by this Doctrine you condemne not all the Saints onelie, but even the Lord himself?
A26862Lastly, Is not this excluding of sincere Obedience from Justification, the great stumbling block of Papists?
A26862Let us first therefore resolve that Question, what they seal?
A26862May not that be the end of your duties, care, fear, labour, watchfulnesse?
A26862May you not else as well give the seals to wicked men as the Covenant?
A26862May you not groan after him, and enquire, and turn the stream of your endeavours this way?
A26862Might not Paul conclude of the sincerity of his Willingness to obey Christ, because he did the evill which he would not?
A26862Most passages in Maccovius doe affirm but that Christ obeyed for us, as well as suffered for us; and who denyeth that?
A26862Must I be put to prove that the Apostles and Christ himself were not mercenarie slaves?
A26862Must not all that will have life, come to Christ, that they may have it?
A26862Nay, hath not God put you upon farre more for your soul, then for your body?
A26862Now is it such a legall slavish mercenary thing for a Christian to seek after the fruition of God?
A26862Now let us consider, how it sealeth?
A26862Now let us see, whether this were the same that Christ did suffer?
A26862Now the Question is which of the parts of this Argument the Sacrament doth seal to?
A26862Now what is it that makes the Covenant?
A26862Now what transient Act this is, and what its immediate reall Effect, who hath unfolded?
A26862Oh sweet and blessed End?
A26862Or can it require any more?
A26862Or doth Christ call us to such a Covenant?
A26862Or for such a ● Action as the killing of his onely Son would have been?
A26862Or have you as full a certainty of it hereafter, as you do desire?
A26862Or if so, whether there should have bin any Resurrection of the body after any certaine space of time, that so it might suffer as well as the soule?
A26862Or if you do, why may you not do as much for your soul, as for your body?
A26862Or into any place or state of torment short of Hell?
A26862Or that you might also improve them to some further advantage?
A26862Or to be carefull that he may not be everlastingly deprived of it?
A26862Or whence will they plead their Iustification at the barr of God?
A26862Or whether Man may annihilate a Quality, though not a Substance?
A26862Or whether all have sufficient Grace to beleeve, either given, or internally offered?
A26862Or whether he hath at all made the Morall Law to be the preceptive part of the new Covenant?
A26862Or whether hee should have lived such a miserable life for a season, and then be annihilated, or destroyed?
A26862Or whether his soule should have bin immediatly seprarated from his body as ours are at death, and so be the only sufferer of the paine?
A26862Or whether soule and body without separation should have gone downe quick together into Hell?
A26862Or whether the Morall Law be continued only as the precepts of the old Covenant, and so used by the new Covenant, meerly for a directive Rule?
A26862Perhaps you will say, was not Moses both?
A26862Promises conditionall ▪ and Threats?
A26862Question is, How it can stand with ▪ the Truth and Justice of God to dispense ▪ with his Threats?
A26862Question is, May we not feare lest God may dispense with his Promises as well as his Threats?
A26862Question is, whether sinners may not hence be encouraged to conceive some hope of a relaxation of the Threatnings in the New Covenant?
A26862Question was, Whether the threatning was executed, or relaxed and dispensed with?
A26862Seeing God hath promised us these which you call conditions, is not the Covenant therefore rather absolute, and more properly a promise?
A26862Seeing you make faith and covenanting with Christ to be the same thing; do you not make him to be no reall Christian that never so covenanted?
A26862Shall mans sinnes make Gods promises and mercies of lesse value?
A26862Shall we come after him to do the work he hath perfected?
A26862Shall we say therefore, that God threatned them with a Christ, rather then promised him?
A26862So that if you ask me[ what is the formall Reason, why Faith Iustifieth?]
A26862So that in what respect is our righteousnesse lesse excellent?
A26862THerefore it is one thing to ask, whether the Covenant of Works be abolished?
A26862That the Apostles dispute is upon the question, What is the Righteousness which we must plead against the Accusation of the Law?
A26862The Promise is made to you and to your children?
A26862The chiefe point of difference and difficulty lyeth higher, How the Righteousnesse of Christ is made ours?
A26862The great Question is, of which sort is our Righteousness whereby we are justified?
A26862The question therefore is, Whether Works do concur with Faith( as part of the Condition) in the very businesse of Justifying?
A26862The time is neere when those future sins will be past also; what doth the Law require then?
A26862Then this followeth howsoever, That they are righteous, and justified before they beleeve,( which what Scripture doth speak?)
A26862There is evident a sincerity opposite to dissimulation: But a Morall or Theologicall sincerity there is not; Why is that?
A26862They would all trust Christ for the saving of their souls, and that without dissembling, for ought any man can discern: Are all these men justified?
A26862This being well considered, will direct you truly and punctually, where to find the very formall being and nature of Faith?
A26862This is gracious acceptance, which Grotius maintaineth?
A26862This is the Covenant that is made with us: and who dare say, that this is made with Christ; Or is this Covenant made to Christ?
A26862This may help you to answer that question, Whether the Law without the Gospell be a sufficient Rule of Life?
A26862This work must not be due, and so the performer not under the absolute soveraignty of another?
A26862Thus we see in part the first Question resolved; what death it was that the Law did threaten?
A26862To which I answer?
A26862Turn over your whole Bible,& see whether it speak more of covenanting with Christ, or with us?
A26862WHat one of our Church will maintain, that any one obtaines actuall Redemption by Christ without Faith?
A26862Was not he the justifier here, who was the imputer of Righteousness?
A26862What Scripture saith so?
A26862What doe you take for such a renouncing of their Covenant?
A26862What have we else to shew at Gods barr for our Justification, but the New Covenant?
A26862What it was that Christ did suffer?
A26862What saith Mr. Owen to any of this?
A26862When I read this to be the tenour of the New Covenant[ Whosoever believeth shall be justified:] doth it not tell me plainly why Faith Justifieth?
A26862When should He have risen?
A26862When the Scripture saith, that Whosoever beleeveth shall be justified is it a learned Exposition which thus interpreteth it?
A26862Where he learned, or how he can prove, that Justifying Faith is a believing that our sinnes are pardoned?
A26862Whether Adams soule and body should immediatly have bin annihilated, or destroyed so as to become insensible?
A26862Whether Christ did discharge this debt by way of solution or by way of satisfaction?
A26862Whether Christ did first repeall that Law, and then re- establish it to other ends?
A26862Whether Christs Lordship over all, do imply or prove his redeeming of all?
A26862Whether Faith onely?
A26862Whether God hath delivered things out of his own power in any kinde, by delivering them into the power of his Son?
A26862Whether absolutely or conditionally?
A26862Whether he cast away Gods image?
A26862Whether it be any wrong to the redeemed themselves?
A26862Whether it be not a wrong to the Redeemer, that the people whom he hath ransomed are not immediately delivered?
A26862Whether that which is commonly called the Work of Conscience, be also from such an internall suasory work of the Spirit?
A26862Whether the Precepts of the Gospel belong also to the old Covenant?
A26862Whether the Precepts of the Gospel do belong to the Decalogue?
A26862Whether the extolling of Christ the Mediator, or the restoring and saving of the offendors, were Gods more remote end, and principal intention?
A26862Whether the redeemed are immediately upon the price payd, delivered from any of the curse of the Law?
A26862Whether the reformation of the life doth not immediately even the same moment follow the hearts reformation?
A26862Whether the sufferings of Beleevers are from the curse of the Law?
A26862Whether the sufferings of the Elect before conversion are in execution of any part of the curse of the Law?
A26862Whether then this Grace be Physicall or Morall?
A26862Whether there be a Morall Suasion of the Spirit, distinct from the Suasion of the Word, and other outward means?
A26862Whether this Authority and Dignity of Christ, be by Original Natural Right?
A26862Whether this be not the subjection of the soul to Christ to be governed by him; and so a heart- reformation?
A26862Whether this doctrine doth not tend to drive Obedience out of the world?
A26862Whether to the Major, the Minor, or the Conclusion?
A26862Why I call Christs Satisfaction the meritorious Cause, and the Causa sine quâ non?
A26862Why I call the Gospell the Instrumentall Cause?
A26862Why I do make affiance or recombency an immediate product of Faith, when it is commonly taken to be, the very justifying Act?
A26862Why I make it only the Causa sine quâ non?
A26862Why I make not Christs Righteousness the materiall Cause?
A26862Why I make not Faith the Instrumentall Cause?
A26862Why I make not the Imputation of it the formall Cause?
A26862Why do I make sincerity and perseverance to be so near kin to Faith, as to be, in some sence, the same, and not rather distinct Graces?
A26862Why do you single out the book called, The marrow of modern Divinity, to oppose in this point?
A26862Why have you all the mercies of your life?
A26862Why is the love of our selves, and desire of our preservation so naturall?
A26862Wicked men have benefits by Christ, even those that are not in him so much as by a visible profession: And why then may they not have some promises?
A26862Will you speak it to none but those who beleeve already?
A26862Would not this love have Iustified?
A26862Would you not have believers to esc ● ew evill and do good for fear of Hell, or for hope of Heaven?
A26862Yet it is disputable whether these two last were directly contained in the threatning, or not?
A26862Yet the former( as I have proved before& c.) is ours too, and our Righteousness too( though many Divines think otherwise:) but how?
A26862Your 2. is[ whether Christ paid the same debt which was in the first obligation?]
A26862[ Beleeve in the Lord Iesus, and thou shalt be saved: and if thou beleeve not, thou shalt be damned?]
A26862and a third, whether as a meer Precept?
A26862and another thing, whether the Morall Law be abolished?
A26862and consequently him to be no visible Christian who never professed such a Covenant?
A26862and is it not his purchase, and charge, and work to provide for it?
A26862and make him pay the uttermost farthing?
A26862and so you bring in a greater necessity of publique covenanting, then those who are for Church- making Covenants?
A26862and the contemplating of it, and admiring it, be our main employment?
A26862and then enquire how they seal?
A26862and what not?
A26862another, whether upon new Covenant terms?
A26862as he was a sinner by imputation, and so had our transgressions upon him: but very ignorantly: For was God mercifull to him concerning the debt?
A26862before the absolving sentence at the great Tribunall; or the possession of the Kingdome, for which we wait in Hope?
A26862but placing it in Consent or Acceptance?
A26862but why should we separate what God hath conjoyned?
A26862if not from all?
A26862if not, why will you labour, and eat, and drink, and sleep?
A26862is it possible that any sober considering man can think so?
A26862it may be you will say, you pray onely for Gods glory, and for the Church: But hath not God as much care of his Church and his glory, as of your soul?
A26862or Works also?
A26862or as the man to Christ, who is my Neighbour?
A26862or by Donation?
A26862or by Purchase?
A26862or by which we are justified as the proper Righteousness of that Law?
A26862or his own Law, and so obey himself?
A26862or may you pray for other mens souls, and not your own, when you are bound to love them but as your self?
A26862or of all alike?
A26862or only afflictions of Love, the curse being taken off by Christ?
A26862or only sincere?
A26862or that Gods Word hath not prescribed us a slavish task?
A26862or whether God took it from him for sin?
A26862or whether it be not a promise of some extraordinary permanent happiness which they shall receive at their last and great deliverance by the Messias?
A26862or whether it be only the substituting him to be Vicegerent to the Father?
A26862or whether they are onely Concomitants to that Faith which effecteth the business without their assistance?
A26862or who is the looser?
A26862seu tollendae, rogabatur, an tolli eam placeret?
A26862should not then the searching into it be our main study?
A26862so what end have the prohibition else?
A26862the last of which Grotius maintaineth?
A26862utrum melius sit miserum esse quam non esse?
A26862whether God only could annihilate it?
A26862whether the threatning were not fully executed in Adams death?
A26862why will you seek to the Physician when you are sick?
A26977( And shall we lose your favour, by forcing you to lay by your Opposition as to all the rest?)
A26977?
A26977An Genus definiri possit?
A26977An individua possint definiri?
A26977An pars Logica definiri possit?
A26977And Reader, what Reason bound me to confine this Case, to one only sort of Justification?
A26977And a Mans Sence is no way known but by his expressions: The question is then, Which is the necessary Phrase which we must express our sence by?
A26977And against the Reformed?
A26977And are all these one Terminus, or hence one name then?
A26977And are not all these set together enough to prove, that we justly own all asserted by these Texts?
A26977And are we not all agreed of all this?
A26977And as Justification is taken for the Justifiers Action; why is it not as well to be denominated from the Terminus ad quem, as à quo?
A26977And as to the Phrase, Doth this Doctor, or can any living Man find that Phrase in Scripture,[ Christ''s Righteousness is imputed to us]?
A26977And can he have need of Sacrifice or Pardon, that is reputed never to have sinned( legally)?
A26977And can you find no fairer a shift for disagreement?
A26977And do you mean any more by[ OVRS]?
A26977And do you think that he differeth from me in any of these Propositions, or how this sin is derived from Adam?
A26977And do you think you know better what of mine is Elaborate, than I do?
A26977And have I not then good Company and Encouragement not to change my Mind?
A26977And have all my Readers already told you their Judgment?
A26977And have you brought more Witnesses?
A26977And how many make Forgiveness no part of Justification, but a Concomitant?
A26977And how unable is my weak Understanding, to make his words at peace with themselves?
A26977And if one of us be mistaken, must your bare Word determine which it is?
A26977And if we be as Righteous as Christ, are we not as amiable to God?
A26977And is it any wonder if you have many such Mistakes in your disputes of Justification, when you are so heedless about a matter of Fact?
A26977And is not all this beyond denial with Persons not studiously and learnedly misled?
A26977And is not he a weak Man that can not talk thus upon almost any Subject?
A26977And is not this plain English?
A26977And is not this true?
A26977And is that so?
A26977And is this it in the Application that your Zeal will warn Men of, that we must in this take heed of joyning with the Papists?
A26977And is this the great difference between Papists and Protestants, which I am so loudly accused for not acknowledging?
A26977And is à Lege Mortis, either from all the Obligation to Obedience, or from the sole mal ● diction?
A26977And may we not go to God in our Names as Righteous?
A26977And see you not that this is a lis de nomine, and of a name of your own introduction for illustration?
A26977And should not those many Significations be distinguished as there is Cause?
A26977And to contradict the common way of those with whom he joyneth?
A26977And to shew the World that even where their keenest Adversaries condemn them, and draw Men from them, they do but justifie them?
A26977And what hath he against this?
A26977And what is imputed but Righteousness?
A26977And what''s the dangerous Errour here?
A26977And when will he prove that these two Sorts, or Parts, or Acts, may not be at once transacted at the same Bar?
A26977And whence can a Relation be more fitly named, than from the fundamentum, whence it hath its formal being?
A26977And whether this easie stating of Controversies, without more Explication or Distinction, be worthy an Academical Disputant?
A26977And who is not Orthodox, himself being Judg?
A26977And who knoweth what Law he meaneth, whose Maledictory Sentence Justification absolveth us from?
A26977And who will thus dispute of the Definition and Causes of them, Efficient, Material, Formal, Final?
A26977And why must your Pupils be taught so to conceive of so great a business, in it self so plain?
A26977And why so?
A26977And will you make any believe that Definition of Justification is none of these Works of Art, which depend on humane Skill?
A26977And yet must we not be allowed Peace?
A26977Are Logical Definitions the necessary Way to Heaven?
A26977Are not Faith, Works, Just, Justice, Justification, words of divers senses in the Scripture?
A26977Are not all these Reconcileable?
A26977Are these things reconcileable?
A26977Are they Malefactors so far as they agree with you in Doctrine, and are you Innocent?
A26977Are they acquainted with all the[ Words that should make it intelligible?]
A26977Are we any way Justified by our own performed Righteousness?
A26977Are we reputed innocent in Christ, as to one part only of our lives,( if so, which is it?)
A26977Are we reputed our selves to have fulfilled all that Law of Innocency in and by Christ, as representing our persons, as obeying by him?
A26977Are you serious, or do you prevaricate?
A26977Are you sure that all or most Words now, Latine or English, have the same, and only the same use or sense, as was put upon them at the first?
A26977Are you sure that it was Publick usage, and Imposition from whence they first received their being?
A26977Ball, and multitudes such are visible still among us?
A26977But I deny your Consequence: How prove you that it is none when applyed therefore?
A26977But Reader, Why may not I denominate Justification ex parte principii?
A26977But alas, what is Man, and what may Temptation do?
A26977But as to the question, Have we kept the Law of Innocency?
A26977But can his Righteousness be Ours no way but by the foresaid Personation Representating?
A26977But did I ever deny that it is[ by Faith alone and without Works]?
A26977But doth he here then agree with himself?
A26977But doth he know but one sort of Law of God?
A26977But doubtless, many that seem killed by such Blows as some of yours, are still alive?
A26977But here is no Second mentioned: Is it in the nature of the things[ Justification, and Inherent Holiness]?
A26977But how is he so made?
A26977But if we must needs denominate from the Terminus à quo, how strange is it that he should know but of one sense of Justification?
A26977But is a Man absolved( properly) from that which he was never guilty of?
A26977But may it not be, by Faith alone in one sense, and not by Faith alone in another sense?
A26977But not to punish is one thing and to Reward is another?
A26977But sure, none at Oxford are in danger of taking me for an Oracle?
A26977But what if I had known( as I do not yet) what sort of Justification he meaneth?

A26977But who be these Men, and what be their Names?
A26977But whose phrase is Justifying Works?
A26977But why is the first Justification called Private?
A26977But yet it will not serve: what is yet wanting?
A26977But you say,[ Are perfect Contradictions no more than a difference in Words?
A26977By what Law can he impose on me what to hold?
A26977Can not I as easily say thus against you?
A26977Could you have found that Phrase[ Christ''s Righteousness is imputed], why did you not recite the words, but Reason as for the sense?

A26977Did Mr. Wotton, and John Goodwin, agree with Mr. G. Walker, and Mr. Roborough?
A26977Did you Confute, or once take Notice of any of these?
A26977Did you never teach your Sholars this,( in what words you thought best?)
A26977Do I not expresly say, It is the Phrase that is not to be found in Scripture, and the unsound sense, but not the sound?
A26977Do I say here that Scripture mentioneth not Imputed Righteousness, or only that strict sense of it?
A26977Do all ordinary Believers by the use of the Scripture, know how to define?
A26977Do any sober Men deny it, and charge God with Error or Untruth?
A26977Do not I, with as great Confidence as you, lay Claim to the same Company and Concord?
A26977Do not Logicians make true defining one of the surest signs of clear and accurate knowledg?
A26977Do not you here proclaim, that Papists and Protestants differ not about the necessity of Good- works to Justification?
A26977Do the meanest Christians know how to define Justification, and all the Grace which they have?
A26977Do they not hold that Justification is more than an Absolution from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law?
A26977Do you difference them Quoad ordinem, as First and Second?
A26977Do you grant it of them Disjunctively, and yet maintain the contrary of them Conjunct?
A26977Do you mean that I began with you?
A26977Do you mean the words or the sense of Justification( as you call it) by Works?
A26977Do you mean[ Rank Good- Works with Inherent Holiness, and not with the First Sanctification, and you then do widely differ from the Papists]?
A26977Do you not invite me thus herein to be a Papist, when they rank them no where but, as you say, the Protestants do?
A26977Do you think( for I must go by thinking) that he holdeth any other Derivation than this?
A26977Doth Mr. Lawson, in his Theopolitica agree with you, and such others?
A26977Doth he think that the Law of Innocency, and of Moses, and the Law of Grace are all one, which Scripture so frequently distinguisheth?
A26977Doth not Christ say, By thy words thou shalt be justified?

A26977Doth the Scripture sufficiently reveal such Definitions to all?
A26977Doth this Law,[ He that believeth not shall be damned] damn Believers?
A26977Faith alone, and not Faith alone?
A26977Faith with and without Works?
A26977For we say that Faith was reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness: How was it then reckoned?
A26977Forum Divinum est ubi Deus ipse judicis partes agit,& fert sententiam secundum leges a se latas?

A26977How then came you to be so much better at it than I?

A26977If not, against what or whom is all this arguing?
A26977If not, is this Doctor more to be blamed for making them better than they are, or for making us worse?

A26977Is it Christs Divine, Habitual, Active or Passive Righteousness which Justifieth us?
A26977Is it Christs Righteousness, or our Faith which is said to be imputed to us for Righteousness?
A26977Is it any more than the Name ORIGINAL that you are so heinously offended at?
A26977Is it as dangerous as you frightfully pretend to take it aliunde?
A26977Is it here the Words, or Sense, which you accuse?
A26977Is it like that any Dunce that is diligent, should Write no more Schollar- like at Sixty years of Age than at Thirty?

A26977Justificatio Justificati( passive)?
A26977Justificatio, Justificans( active sumpta)?
A26977Mr. Tombes, and Mr. Danvers, for what I have Written for Infants- Baptism: The Papists for what I have Written against them: And how many more?
A26977Must that Name be shamed, by appropriating it to such as this Doctor only?
A26977Must we needs proclaim War here, or cry ▪ out, Heresie, or Popery?
A26977None that ever I heard or read of: Who knoweth not that the Papists take Justification for Inherent Holiness?
A26977Not so: Can not God pardon sin, upon a valuable Merit and Satisfaction of a Mediator?
A26977O Juniors, Will not such deceiving Words save you from my Deceits?
A26977O Sir, had you no other work to do, but to Vindicate the Church and Truth?
A26977Of this also I fully said what I held, and he dissembleth it all, as if I had never done it: And why must I prove more?
A26977Or Justitia?
A26977Or any to the contrary?
A26977Or can you not understand words, that plainly thus Distinguish?
A26977Or did I ever deny any of this?
A26977Or doth nothing but Confusion please him?
A26977Or every Man fallen under the peremptory irreversible condemnation which the Law of Grace passeth on them that never believe and repent?
A26977Or first and chiefly, They shall be judged well- doers, so far as they do well, and so approved and justified, so far as they do keep the Law?
A26977Or known in the Church for five thousand years from the Creation?
A26977Or only of that intollerable sense of it?
A26977Or rather, first, rub your Eyes, and tell us what is the Controversie?
A26977Or rather,[ How can he be maintained Innocent?]
A26977Or that I Retracted any of the Doctrine of Justification, which I had laid down?
A26977Or that each of them hath not its Malediction?
A26977Or the Cure is none when the Medicine is applyed?
A26977Or why must I prove any more?
A26977Or will it not abate Mens reverence of your disputing Accurateness, to find you so untrusty in the Recitation of a Man''s words?
A26977Quid Justificationem vocat Paulus hoc loco?
A26977Quid est, Propter Justificationem nostram?
A26977Quomodo Justificatur Homo coram Deo?
A26977Such Imputation of Righteousness, he saith, agreeth not with Reason or Scripture: But what Reason meaneth he?
A26977That one, or those many?
A26977The Papists minds sure, may be better known by their own Writings, than by mine: The Council of Trent, telleth it you: What need I recite it?
A26977The Papists place Good- Works before Justification, that is, Inherent Holiness; and the Protestants more rightly place them before Inherent Holiness?
A26977The Question is, only what or whose it is, Christ''s or our own?
A26977The Scholar asketh, may I not refer the case to the standers- by, and wash my face if they say, It was no Fire?
A26977There was a Disputant who would undertake to conquer any Adversary: When he was asked, How?
A26977Therefore here the Question is, Whose judgment I shall take as most probable?
A26977They agree not of the sense of the word[ Justifie,] and of the species of that Justification which Paul and James speak of?
A26977This is true and well: But are we no where Justified by Faith but in Conscience, till after Death?
A26977Was he mistaken in reciting the great differences about their Senses of Imputation of Christs Righteousness, if there were none at all?
A26977Was not Abraham our Father justified, by Works?
A26977Was not Bellarmin, or some of the Papists and the Socinians, as great Malefactors, with whom( as you phrase it) you put me in the Cub?
A26977Was not Camero, Capellus, Placeus, Amyrald, Dallaeus ▪ Blondel,& c. Reformed?
A26977Was not Christ as our Mediator perfectly holy habitually, and actually, without Original or Actual Sin?
A26977Were not Wotton, Bradshaw, Gataker,& c. Reformed?
A26977Were not all the Divines before named Reformed?
A26977Were not of late Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Truman, to pass many yet alive, Reformed?
A26977Were you bound to have read it in that sheet, any more ▪ than in many former Volumns?
A26977What abundance of Protestants do place Justification only in Fogiveness of Sins?
A26977What doth Inherent Holiness differ from the First Sanctification?
A26977What greater advantage will they desire against us, than to choose us such Advocates?
A26977What is the Difference between your Treatise, in the part that toucheth me, and that of Mr. Eyres, Mr. Crandon, and some others such?
A26977What is wanting?
A26977What is wanting?
A26977What kind of Readers do you expect, that shall take this for rational, candid, and a Plea for Truth?
A26977What meaneth a distinction between[ First- Justification,] and[ Inherent Holiness]?
A26977What saith the Scripture?
A26977What signifieth the[ First] then?
A26977What would this do but more offend you?
A26977What yet is the Matter?
A26977What''s the reason you have not hitherto directed us to the particulars of your Recantation; what, when, where?
A26977What?
A26977When Mr. Danvers, and Multitudes on that side, Reproach me daily for Retractations, and you for want of them?
A26977Where did I ever say, that I had Recanted?
A26977Where, and when?
A26977Whether Accidents may be properly defined?
A26977Whether Definitio Physica( as Man is defined per Animam, Corpus& Vnionem) be a proper Definition?
A26977Whether Definitio objectiva be properly called Definitio, or only Formalis?
A26977Whether a true Logical and Physical definition should not be the same?
A26977Which of these meaneth he?
A26977Which of us hath brought the fuller Proofs?
A26977Who knoweth what a Temptation they may make of such passages to draw any to Popery?
A26977Who shall condemn?
A26977Who would desire a sharper or a softer, a more dissenting or a more consenting Adversary?
A26977Who would have thought but this was his drift?
A26977Why did not Conscience at the naming of Calumnie say,[ I am now committing it?]
A26977Why may not these two parts of one Man''s Cause be judged at the same Bar?
A26977Why should you and I dispute thus about Matters of Fact?
A26977Will none of your Readers see now, who cometh nearer them, you or I?
A26977Will not this Man of Truth and Peace, give us leave to be thus far agreed, when we are so indeed?
A26977Will you bear with the diversion of a story?
A26977Wotton, and Mr. Balmford, and his other Adversaries, of the same Opinion in this?
A26977Yea, or Adoption either?
A26977Yes, if Gallus, Ambsdorfius, Schlusselburgius, and Dr. Crispe, and his Followers, be the Church?
A26977You do not sure: But is it that I began with the Churches, and you were necessitated to defend them?
A26977You will deal with it but as the application of that Rule to the Definition of Justification?
A26977Your urgent questioning here[ Do you not mean your self?]
A26977[ If it derive in a direct line from the first Transgression, and have its whole Root fastened there, what then?
A26977[ In Legal Justification( saith he) taken precisely, either there is Remission of sin, or not: If not, What Justification is that?
A26977and that I take it for an Injury, because I ▪ Retracted them?
A26977and that the Scripture mentioneth no other?
A26977and that we are made Righteous in foro otherwise than to be just in our selves, and so Justifiable in foro, before the Sentence?
A26977in other Points, but only those of[ High and difficult speculation]: And do you deny it there?
A26977or as to all?
A26977or do Protestants take the Sentence to be Constituting or Making us Righteous?
A26977or, How can he be clean that is born of a Woman?
A26977saith, Quid vanius est quam Justum arbitrari, qui Legem non impleverit?
A26977was it in the ancient Creeds and Baptism?
A26977which you can never answer: But if my Doctrine put you upon this Necessity, what hindred you from perceiving it these twenty years and more, till now?
A26977who devised it?
A26977— Next he saith, Scripture is silent of the Imputed Righteousness of Christ; what a saying is this of a Reformed Divine?
A20741& quod est sacrificium, nifi quod pro nobis oblatum est?
A20741* What is the Law of faith?
A207411. according to the translation of the Septuagints and the vulgar Latine, verba delictorum meorum the words of my sinnes; of what sinnes?
A207411. shall wee continue in sinne, that grace may abound?
A207411. speaking of Abraham, you see that he hath not so much as any footstep of works, unto so great gifts from God, whence then was he vouchsafed them?
A2074110. that hee was lesse than the least of Gods mercies, that is, unworthy of them, though but temporall; what would he have said of eternall?
A2074113?
A2074114. and wherefore all this?
A2074114. what will it profit my brethren, if a man say that he hath faith, and have not workes, will faith save him?
A2074116. how shall we justifie our selves?
A2074117?
A2074121. was not Abraham our Father, saith hee, justified by workes, when hee had offered his sonne Isaack upon the Altar?
A2074126. ought not Christ to suffer these things and so to enter to his glory?
A2074126. who justifieth him that beleeveth in Iesus; how?
A2074128. yet doth tribulation merit?
A2074129. who will justifie him that sinneth against his owne soule?
A207413. that the Apostle proveth, that even those who seeke to be justified by the Law are under the Curse, why?
A2074133. who can lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A207415. and from thence Bernard; m Cur non aliunde justitia cum aliunde reatus?
A207415. and therefore not by inherent righteousnesse: how then?
A2074165. and how given?
A207418. he is neere that justifieth me, who will contend with me — who is mine adversary — who shall condemne mee?
A20741: What then, saith Hilarie, is there no office of faith, if nothing can be comprehended?
A20741After a thousand virtues, whence doth hee pray to be saved?
A20741Againe, b what other thing could cover our sinnes, but his righteousnesse?
A20741Againe, k what is it to beleeve but to consent that the thing is true which is said?
A20741An peccatum in semine peccatoris,& non justitia in Christi sanguine?
A20741And againe, y what can all our righteousnesse bee before God?
A20741And doth he require any other condition of us?
A20741And elsewhere b: which of us can subsist without mercie?
A20741And faith sheweth things to be visible which are not seene: How?
A20741And how did hee prove good workes to be causes?
A20741And how is this proved, which no man doubteth of, that grace is given by Christ?
A20741And how shall we have remission by Christs satisfaction, if it be not applyed and communicated unto us?
A20741And how then can he by the sufferings of this life, wherby he is not able to ● … atisfie for his sinne, deserve eternall life?
A20741And if Rahab by her worke of mercie was of an harlot made just: how much more shall the good workes of the righteous make them more just?
A20741And if c thou hast received it, why dost thou glory or boast, as if thou hadst not received it?
A20741And if the good worke also be grace, how can it deserve a reward, and so great a reward from him that gave it?
A20741And is this the meaning of the Apostle?
A20741And secondly, if that love of God whereby wee love him should be meant, how is it proved, that that love of ours is Gods justifying grace?
A20741And that hee proveth, because the Apostle saith, Ubi est gloriatio tua, Where is thy boasting?
A20741And the Apostle Paul, being demanded of the Iaylour, what must I doe to bee saved?
A20741And to such it will be said, Who required these things at your hands?
A20741And what be these dispositions which must goe before justification?
A20741And what boldnesse was that, for his good workes, that is, for his mortall sinnes, to expect x a Crowne of righteousnesse?
A20741And what doe the Papists acknowldge more?
A20741And what is it not to be worthy, or to be unworthy, but not to deserve?
A20741And what is that justice, whereby he saith we are formally made just?
A20741And what is the scope of the Law?
A20741And what is this but to impute the obedience of Christ and his sufferings unto us?
A20741And what then?
A20741And what then?
A20741And whereas hee saith, it is a most honourable way to be saved by our owne merits: I aske, whether more honourable to God, or to us?
A20741And who knoweth not, that the assent of faith determineth the judgement to that particular which is beleeved?
A20741And why?
A20741As if hee had said, have the just no good workes, which God will reward?
A20741As if they should say, what dost thou command?
A20741Augustine on those words, x Quis sustinebit?
A20741Augustine, b Quanto labore dign ● … est requies, quae non habet finem?
A20741Besides, if the rew ● … rd bee rendred as Bellarmine saith, Supra condignum ▪ how is it merited ● … x condign ● …?
A20741Boasting ex ● … luded, by what Law?
A20741But I aske, from whence?
A20741But I beseech you what is the force of both these arguments?
A20741But did hee bid them speake against verity?
A20741But doth he not dispute the same question here?
A20741But doth it from hence follow, that wee are justified by inherent righteousnesse?
A20741But doth it hereof follow, that this grace is inherent?
A20741But doth this word faith alwaies in the Scriptures fignifie the true justifying faith?
A20741But how is he justified?
A20741But how shall it appeare, who they are that are blessed and justified, for whom this kingdome is prepared, for whom this inheritance is purchased?
A20741But how shall we know, who they are that shall be saved by Christ?
A20741But how should we be saved by his obedience, if it be not communicated unto us, and made ours for our selves?
A20741But if other merits are required besides, how his is merit acknowledged al- sufficient?
A20741But if the Church militant bee meant, then of what time?
A20741But if they bee justifications, whose are they?
A20741But it will be said, Doth not he well that payeth his debt?
A20741But some will say, doe you require no preparative dispositions going before justification?
A20741But that justifying faith may be without charity, he saith not: for how can it bee a justifying faith and not profit?
A20741But then say I, what becometh of the punishment,& the guilt binding over to punishment?
A20741But though grace and truth were given by Christ, doth it follow, that therefore grace doth signifie grace inherent?
A20741But to what end?
A20741But to what will he prove them necéssary?
A20741But upon all this being granted, what will he inferre?
A20741But what doth this make for servile feare, which is found in them who have no grace?
A20741But what is his reason?
A20741But what is that righteousnesse of satisfaction?
A20741But what is this to the purpose?
A20741But what manner of thing is that, which is here said to worke?
A20741But what saith Bellarmine elsewhere?
A20741But what shall wee say to the inherent corruption, which Adam by his transgression contracted?
A20741But what will Bellarmine inferre therefrom, that therefore they were not so?
A20741But when the Apostle doth not once mention patience, how could hee bee so confident, as to aske, what could bee spoken more plainely?
A20741But where doth the Apostle say, that good actions doe worke salvation?
A20741But where is either the popish deletion of sinne, or infusion of righteousnesse?
A20741But where is the equality on which condignity of merit should be grounded, and which hee propounded to prove, in the next l words going before?
A20741But whereof is it the foundation?
A20741But whereto are they necessary?
A20741But why doth hee flee from the Latine translation, unto which hee is bound?
A20741But why is this love of God said to be shed forth in our hearts?
A20741But why just?
A20741But will hee from thence prove, that what grace is either given by Christ, or in measure, is not Gods favour?
A20741But will it hereupon followe, that therfore they are, or may be justified by workes?
A20741But you will aske, what cause?
A20741But you will say, did Christ merit for us, that we should be idle?
A20741But you will say, if a man must be justified before he receive the Sacrament, to what end doth hee then receive it?
A20741But you will say, is not obedience to the Law required in the Gospell?
A20741By Bernard in divers places?
A20741By what Law?
A20741By what Law?
A20741By what reason?
A20741Can a man bee profitable unto God?
A20741Can wee have it by our owne charity, when wee can not know, as the Papists teach, that we have charity?
A20741Can wee have it by the bare assent of faith without application or desire thereof, which is the onely faith which the Papists acknowledge?
A20741Chapter of the Proverbs: when the righteous King shall sit on his throne, who can say my heart is cleane?
A20741Cyril: o Faith, what is it else, but the true knowledge of God?
A20741Doe you not see, how faith did co- operate to or with his workes?
A20741Doest thou beleeve that Christ is thy Saviour?
A20741Doft thou therefore truely beleeve in Christ, by a true and a lively assent receiving and embracing him as the Saviour?
A20741Dost thou beleeve that our Lord Iesus Christ dyed for thee?
A20741Doth affliction then worke salvation?
A20741Doth he thank that servant, because he did the things that were commanded him?
A20741Doth he that is to be justified bring any thing?
A20741Doth it repent thee?
A20741Doth not God accept Christs righteousnes for us, or did hee not thereby satisfie for us?
A20741Doth not the afflicter merit?
A20741Ergo, the faith of all, when they are first justified, is perfect?
A20741For I pray, what is here said to worke?
A20741For canst thou love Christ, and rejoyce in him as thy Saviour, if thou be not by speciall faith perswaded, that thou shalt be saved by him?
A20741For first whereas Calvin, as he saith, demandeth, whether this bee a full definition of justification, or but halfe?
A20741For how can t they beleeve in him of whom they have not heard, and by hearing knowne?
A20741For how can we merit of God by that which is his?
A20741For how doth he prove that they who have faith may worke sometimes without faith?
A20741For if his satisfaction and merits for us be full and perfect, what need we to patch to them the ragges of our owne satisfactions and merits?
A20741For if it be, where is then remission of sinne?
A20741For if thou Lord k marke iniquities, who shall stand?
A20741For if you love those that love you, what reward have you, quam mercedem habetis saith Matthew, quae vobis est gratia?
A20741For in that case it might have beene said to him: what hast thou, which thou hast not received?
A20741For it is Gods righteousnesse, saith hee, when wee are justified, not of workes( that is, not by righteousnesse inherent:) and why so?
A20741For men can not runne well, if they know not whither they must runne, and how should they know that, if by precepts it be not made known to them?
A20741For seeing it is God that justifieth them, who shall lay any thing to their charge?
A20741For the righteousnesse, whereby a man is forma ● … ly just, is inherent in himselfe: for what is more intrinsecall than the forme?
A20741For to omit, that all our merits are Gods gifts, and so for them man is more a debtour to God, than God to man: what are all merits to so great glory?
A20741For what did the Law intend?
A20741For what is remission of sinne, but the not imputing of it?
A20741For what more unjust than this, and what more just than God?
A20741For what other thing, saith he, could hide or cover our sinnes, but the righteousnesse of the Sonne of God?
A20741For what will it profit a man, saith St. Iames, y if hee shall say, that hee hath faith, and hath not workes, will that faith save him?
A20741For where doth Saint Iames compare true faith to these rich mens idle knowledge?
A20741For who is the Priest, and what is the Sacrifice?
A20741For who may take upon him to remit those debts, which wee owe to God?
A20741For whoever denied, that our adoption is as true, as our justification?
A20741For, saith hee, What did the Law intend?
A20741Fourthly, Chrysostome: e what did the Law intend?
A20741From whom doest thou conceale it?
A20741God, k saith the Pelagian, hath given possible Commandements and who denyeth this?
A20741Goe and sitdown to meat?
A20741Gratis c ● … nstat — Si reddatur tibi quod debetur, puniendus es, quid ergò fit?
A20741Gregory, g Quid?
A20741He argueth they be causes: why?
A20741Hierome, m( if yet it be Hierome) mentioneth three degrees but all of remission of sinne, for so hee saith: quibus modis remittuntur peccata?
A20741Hierome; l quae est ista simplicitas, nescire quae credas?
A20741His first allegation is this: nullane sunt merita justor ● … m?
A20741How can wee plead merit before God who owe him all things?
A20741How could our sinnes bee imputed unto Christ, and hee not bee counted a sinner?
A20741How could they possibly bee communicated unto us, being both transient, and having now no being?
A20741How doe wee forgive?
A20741How is it grace if it be rendred of duety?
A20741How then are we said to be justified through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus?
A20741How then can either Adams disobedience, or Christs obedience be communicated unto us?
A20741How then doth he prove it?
A20741How then shall the judgement of God bee according to the truth, when hee declareth a sinner to bee just?
A20741I may call my selfe just, sed illius justitiâ, but by his righteousnesse, and what is that?
A20741I meane a true faith, who will deny?
A20741If Gods grace bee not; how doth he save the world?
A20741If hee be unprofitable who hath done all, what is to be said of him who was not able to fulfill?
A20741If it be rendred according to workes, how shall it be esteemed mercie?
A20741If it be rendred according to works, how shall it be accounted mercie?
A20741If o wee doe not that which we would, but worke that which wee would not, how say ye, that a man may be without sinne, if he will?
A20741If patience in tribulation doth worke a weight of eternall glory, who can deny, but that there is some relation betweene patience and salvation?
A20741If r thou Lord shouldest marke what is amisse, even in our best actions, who should be able to stand?
A20741If the ceremoniall Law were an unsupportable yoke, how much more the morall?
A20741If the same, how then are we not justified by the works of the Law?
A20741If therefore it bee asked i qu ● … modo tenebo absentem?
A20741If thou Lord should''st marke what is amisse, O Lord, who shall stand?
A20741If wee be justified by the obedience of Christs life, what needed he to dye for us?
A20741In whom was it possible, that wee sinners and ungodly should bee justified, but in the onely Sonne of God?
A20741Is it our inherent righteousnesse, as the Papists teach?
A20741Is it the Church triumphant, as it mayseeme, when she is said to be tota pulchra?
A20741Is it then the righteousnesse of the Manhood?
A20741Is not that therefore my righteousnesse which was made righteousnesse unto me?
A20741Is the difference betweene us and the Papists in this great controvefie onely in words?
A20741Is there any righteousnesse inherent in us, or performed by us, that can fully satisfie the Law?
A20741Is this that, which thou commandest?
A20741It is Christ that dyed, yea rather that is risen againe, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intorcession for us?
A20741It is true, that a true lively faith doth justifie alone, but what manner of saith is that?
A20741It is true, that there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, but who are they?
A20741Know you not, th ● … they which runne in the race, all runne indeed, but one receiveth the price?
A20741Lord heare my voice,& c. if thou shouldest marke what is amisse, who should stand?
A20741Maldonat t on that place: what is the cause saith he, that he seemeth to place eternall life in knowledge alone, that is in faith onely?
A20741Merces nostra gratia vocatur: figrati ● … est, gratis datur, quid est gratis datur?
A20741Nam unde mihi tantum meriti, cui indulgentia pro corona est?
A20741Non dixit, ego non sustinebo, sed, quis sustinebit?
A20741Not of grace, for, as they teach, no man hath grace before Iustification: What then?
A20741Now I know, that thou fearest God& c. Did not God know it before?
A20741Now for the word justifie: shall I need to tell you, that by justifying we doe not meane sanctifying?
A20741Now, as Augustine saith in the very next words going before, quid habere boni meriti possunt peccatores?
A20741O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
A20741Of workes?
A20741Or if it be mer ● … ted ex condigno; how is it supra condignum?
A20741Paul cryeth out, how shall they beleeve, if they doe not hea ● … e?
A20741Planè propter humilitatem: numquid contra veritatem?
A20741Quid autem hac conclusione firmius?
A20741Quid enim erat Dei videre peccata, nisi punire peccata?
A20741Quorum delictorum?
A20741Ridiculous: for how can it bee necessary to salvation without some relation to it?
A20741Secondly, when the Apostle saith, you are saved by grace and not by workes, will they say hee excludeth onely workes going before salvation?
A20741Shall then not onely other viatores be perfect, but incipientes also?
A20741Si non est Dei gratia, quomodo salvat mundum?
A20741So againe, by Iustification we are freed from the curse of the Law, and from the rigour and terrour or dominion it?
A20741So saith Hierome m si inutilis est qui fecit omnia: quid de illo dicendum, qui explerenon potuit?
A20741Tecta ergo peccata quare dixit?
A20741That is, if there bee no workes to bee rewarded, neither good with blisse, nor bad with punishment, how shall God judge the world?
A20741The Pastor therefore having demanded these questions, Brother dost thou rejoyce that thou shalt dye in the faith?
A20741The second: If all the works of the righteous be sinnes, with what face could the Apostle say,* that h ● … knew nothing by himselfe?
A20741These few may serve,* Hilarie what living man can bee justified in the sight of God?
A20741They detaine the people in ignorance: and why?
A20741Thirdly, that to the precepts hee hath added Counselles tending to perfection?
A20741Thy righteousnesse is an everlasting righteousnesse: What is longer than Eternity?
A20741To the testimony of Ambrose, Nonne evidens est meritorum aut praemia ● … t s ● … pplicia post mortem manere?
A20741To what end then, as Bellarmine f well inferreth, did Christ take upon him our nature?
A20741To what purpose then doth he urge this word, seeing Christ is just in justifying us, as well by imputation, as by infusion?
A20741To whom ● … hen should he be a debtour by his promise?
A20741Tribulation?
A20741Vis scire ▪ saith hee, Naturam Dei, hoc scito quod nescias, wilt thou know the nature of God?
A20741Was not the Priest the Son of God, both God and Man?
A20741Was not the Sacrifice the flesh or human nature of the Son of God?
A20741What are all merits to so great glory?
A20741What can be more cleare?
A20741What could bee spoken more plainely?
A20741What could q man doe of himselfe to recover his righteousn ● … sse once lost, being the servant of sinne and the bondman of the devill?
A20741What followship hath light with darkenesse?
A20741What good merit can sinners have?
A20741What sillinesse is this, not to know the things which thou doest beleeve?
A20741What then becometh of remission of sinne, which according both to Scriptures and Fathers concurreth to justification?
A20741What then will become of our sinnes, seeing our righteousnesse can not answere for it selfe?
A20741What then?
A20741What then?
A20741What then?
A20741What will hee from thence inferre?
A20741Where is boasting then?
A20741Wherefore q Bernard, Quid sunt, saith he, omnia merita ad tantam gloriam?
A20741Who shall condemne,& c?
A20741Why did hee confirme them by oath?
A20741Why did they murmure at their Lords unequall dealing?
A20741Why doth hee call it 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, lot or inheritance by lot?
A20741Why then did the Lord in every Chapter almost of his story renew and repeat his promises unto him?
A20741Why then did their fellow labourers expect a greater reward?
A20741Why then doth Peter require them to whom he had preached, to repent and to be baptized?
A20741Why then, saith Augustine,* should not this perfection bee enjoyned to man, though no man in this life have it?
A20741Why?
A20741Why?
A20741and all our righteousnesse, if it bee straitly judged, will it not be found unjust and defective?
A20741and how shall they preach except they be sent?
A20741and if there bee no free- will, how doth hee judge the world?
A20741and so on the other side, what is his not seeing or covering of sin, but his not punishing or pardoning it?
A20741and what manner of thing is that, which is here said to bee wrought?
A20741are not we justified as they were?

A20741doest thou confesse that thou hast not lived so well as thou ought?
A20741e Oecumenius in like maner: If any man should say, what is this to us?
A20741for what is Gods seeing of sin, but his punishing of sin?
A20741for whence should I have so great merit, to whom indulgence is for a crowne?
A20741h Ambrose, Quando impletur in ● … bis justificati ● …( Legis) nis ● … cum datur remissi ● … omnium peccatorum?

A20741how can it be communicated and made ours, but by imputation?
A20741how can it bee made ours, but by imputation?
A20741how come wee to have this peace, this confidence, this joy, this undaunted hope?
A20741how is our debt satisfied?
A20741how should I lay hold upon him that is absent?
A20741how should I send up my hand into heaven, to lay hold on him sitting there?
A20741how then doth he say, of my sinnes?
A20741if it be rendred according to works, how shall it be esteemed mercie?
A20741if wee be not justified by good workes nor saved for them, are they therefore to be neglected?
A20741it is God that justifieth, who shall condemne?
A20741it is God that justifieth: who is hee that condemneth?
A20741k Quid meriti apud Deum poterimus obtrudere, qui debemus omnia?
A20741not because there is no merit, either good of the godly, or bad of the wicked, otherwise how shall God judge the world?
A20741of workes?
A20741or if it did, that, that inherent grace is justifying grace?
A20741or is it not the righteousnesse and satisfaction of Christ, by whose stripes o we are healed?

A17299And St. Augustine in his Soliloquies, saith sweetly: Vnde gloriabitur omnis caro?
A17299And St. Augustine to the same purpose, speaking of Peters Faith, proper to the Elect, saith, Dic, quae fides?

A17299And if men hauing this faith, may notwithstanding be damned, and carry it with them to hell, how is it a iustifying faith?

A17299And is not this loue the highest degree of charity that can bee?
A17299And shall the Elect themselues, who bring forth this Fruit, and haue this Faith, say, Perhaps they shall not perseuere?

A17299But what''s the reason, that Vega will not pitch vpon one certaine and distinct Faith, specially meant by the Apostle?
A17299But whence proceeded this their vncertainty?
A17299But where is thy hand to put forth to receiue him?
A17299But who be they that receiue not this Gospell of God?
A17299But why doe I separate or distinguish vnfruitfull from damnable?
A17299But why so commonly impute iustification to Faith?
A17299But why vnder Pontius Pilate?
A17299But will the Pontifician say, Mans free- will is not for all this excluded from being an ingredient, at least in preparation?
A17299By Faith Abraham, being called, went out,& c. Was it not by Faith in Gods promise?
A17299By Faith Noah, warned of God, prepared the Arke, to the sauing of himselfe and house: Was it not by Faith in the promise of God?
A17299Can Emperours and Commanders in any Armie haue their wils presently obeyed, and put in execution, without demanding a reason of them?
A17299Can a bad tree bring forth good fruit, saith Christ?
A17299Chapter hath reference; which Prouerbe also gaue occasion to this whole Chapter?
A17299Christo enim sic eos ponentevt eant,& fructum afferant,& fructus eorum maneat: quis, audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit?
A17299Christs passiue obedience therefore being it selfe also actiue, how can these two possibly bee separated and diuorced one from the other?
A17299Chrysostome vpon the third Chapter to the Romanes, saith, What is the Law of Faith?
A17299Deuout a Bernard saith, Nonne si fluctuat fides, inanis est& spes nostra?
A17299Did St. Peter meane, that the faithfull should be doubtfull, or vncertaine of their saluation?
A17299Did he not bring forth many fruits of faith, many good workes of charity, piety, mercy, hospitality, obedience, humility, and the like?
A17299Did he not, according to Gods direction, take and apply the lumpe of dry Figgs to the plague- sore, and so recouered?
A17299Did not Dauid know this by the certainty of faith?
A17299Did not therefore Moses repent him of his sinne?
A17299Do we not see here a manifest difference between Augustines owne application of vncertainty,& Vega''s strained application?
A17299Doe we euer reade, that God made man to be his owne Sauiour, as Pontificians blasphemously auouch?
A17299Doe wee know, that God loues vs in Christ?
A17299Doest thou beleeue that the Lord Iesus Christ, the Sonne of God, dyed for thee?
A17299Doest thou beleeue thou canst not bee saued, but by his death?
A17299Doest thou from thy heart thank him for this?
A17299Doest thou repent of it?
A17299Dost thou commend the admirable wisedome of God, in teaching man to ascribe the iustification of Faith to the mercy and glory of God?
A17299Doth Gregory hence conclude, that the elect is vncertaine of saluation, or that it is possible for him to become a reprobate?
A17299Doth any fall away, and apostatize from the truth?
A17299Doth the Councell of Laterans Decree dare vs, not to mention Antichrists comming?
A17299Doth this proue that hee was one of Gods eternall election?
A17299Dye they not in a most preposterous malice and enuy?
A17299Else what true Faith is it?
A17299Ergo animae tuae anima fides est: Whence is death in the soule?
A17299Ergo& Diabolus electus est?
A17299Euery mans iudgement?
A17299Examine: What?
A17299Faith then being certaine, and confirmed also by the seale of Gods Spirit, what more certaine?
A17299Faith then is the seale of Gods testimony; and what greater certainty or assurance can be, than in a seale?
A17299Faith( say they) is the roote of all Iustification: placing their iustification in hope, and loue,& c. How then is Faith the roote?
A17299For God can not make vs, who are creatures, to bee Gods, infinite with himselfe the Creator?
A17299For I would aske them, whom they meane by their Adulti, or men of yeares?
A17299For Salomons saying, Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane?
A17299For doe not wee know, that for a naturall and morall wisedome, euen Heathen men, as many Pagan Philosophers, haue farre excelled many of Gods Saints?
A17299For else, if thou Lord wert with vs, how should so many calamities and disasters fall vpon vs, and vpon thy people round about vs?
A17299For first: whether was the Word of God, or the Church more ancient?
A17299For himselfe?
A17299For how can a man that is truely and infallibly certaine, be sayd therein vainely to presume?
A17299For how can the action bee acceptable, when the person is not?
A17299For if all the Creatures in the world could satisfie Gods iustice for one sinne: wherefore dyed the innocent Lambe, and the only Sonne of God?
A17299For if faith bee wauering, is not our hope also vaine?
A17299For the preaching of the Gospel, what is it, but a beame of this grace of God shining vpon sinners?
A17299For what if a man, yea the holiest man, if Dauid doe not know his sinnes, his slippes, and errors?
A17299For what rest can our spirit haue, while it retaineth as yet no testimony of its predestination?
A17299For what righteousnesse( I pray you) is that, which the Prophet there speakes of?
A17299For what saith the Scripture?
A17299For whatsoeuer authority the Church of Rome hath, if shee haue it not from the Scriptures, of what worth is her authority?
A17299For who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ?
A17299For, Who shall now lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen?
A17299For, how can a thing be certaine,& yet false, vnlesse it be certainly false, or a false certainety?
A17299For, what certainty of Faith can there bee, if the holy Scriptures, the obiect and ground of Faith, be not certaine?
A17299For, what saith the Scripture?
A17299From their faith?
A17299Fructus bonos non facit arbor mala: An dicis hominem infidelem arborem bonam?
A17299God giueth more grace, saith St. Iames: and what followeth?
A17299Gregory saith well, Hee that knowes not his disease, how doth he seek to the Physitian?
A17299Had hee the true grace of iustification, whereby he was accepted with God?
A17299Had not then this great loue of God beene vtterly lost?
A17299Had not this gift beene such, as no man would receiue it?
A17299Haec non est gloria, sed miseria: sed nunquid gloriabitur de bono?
A17299Hast thou a will and purpose to amend, if thou shouldst haue time to liue longer?
A17299Hast thou not heard the Apostle, The iust shall liue by faith?
A17299Hast thou so much power to doe good, and dost it not?
A17299Hath not God made the wisedome of this world foolishnesse?
A17299Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill?
A17299Hauing therefore, Brethren, boldnesse to enter into the most holy by the bloud of Iesus: saith: Whence is this boldnesse?
A17299He alledgeth that of Dauid, Who can vnderstand his errors?
A17299He hauing said, Hee hath mercy on whom hee will, and whom hee will, hee hardeneth: and thou replying, Why then doth God yet complaine?
A17299He may say, Who shall fetch Christ from aboue, that I may haue him within my reach?
A17299Hence, Saint Augustine to Consentius, sayth: Quis it a euanescat, vt existimet Petrum hoc habuisse in corde, quod in ore, quando Christum negauit?
A17299Hereupon he inferreth, if a man doe not know his sins, how can he be sure of his iustification?
A17299How beleeued he?
A17299How by faith?
A17299How can man bee iustified with God?
A17299How comes Pontius Pilate in our Christian Creed?
A17299How comes the vngodly to be iustified, if hee bring any merit to dispose him thereunto?
A17299How dangerously did the serpent incounter him, and bound him with grieuous chaines?
A17299How did Dauid know that God had forgiuen his sinnes, seeing he saith peremptorily, Thou forgauest the iniquity of my sinne?
A17299How different from the Councell of Trent?
A17299How doth Faith worke by loue, before it haue charity?
A17299How is that?
A17299How often doth Christ himselfe say in the Gospell, I came downe from Heauen not to doe mine owne will, but the will of him that sent mee?
A17299How shall a man come to Christ, wearie and laden, that he may be refreshed?
A17299How shall it be tryed?
A17299How shall the Law then be our Schoolmaster to bring vs to Christ, who came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance?
A17299How should England, formerly a terrour to her neighbours, become now their scorne and derision?
A17299How should man be iust with God?
A17299How so?
A17299How then comes this forraine righteousnesse vpon an vngodly man?
A17299How then dare any man call faith an opinion, but he that hath not as yet receiued that Spirit, or who knoweth not the Gospell, or reputes it a fable?
A17299How?
A17299How?
A17299How?
A17299I aske therefore who this Manicheus is?
A17299I demand not yet, how thou liuest: but how thou beleeuest?
A17299I know whom I haue beleeued, and am certaine, cryeth the Apostle; and doest thou whisper, faith is an opinion?
A17299I might answer with the Apostle; O vaine man, who art thou that repliest against God?
A17299If I bee wicked, woe vnto me: and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift vp my head; I am full of confusion,& c. But had Iob no good workes?
A17299If a Heathen( saist thou) shall couer the naked, is it therefore a sin, because it is not of faith?
A17299If it had not been Abrahams speciall Faith, how had it beene imputed to him for righteousnesse?
A17299If this Faith of his be a firme and certain perswasion, how is it vneuident?
A17299If thou, Lord, shouldst marke iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A17299In the sight of God?
A17299In this respect the Apostle makes a challenge in the behalfe of all Gods chosen: Who shall condemne them?
A17299In vs it is not to pay our debt for the least sinne: we can not answer him one for a thousand, as Iob saith; How should man beiust with God?
A17299In vs?
A17299Indeede St. Augustine saith, Quid est aliud iustificati, quàm iusti facti?
A17299Is euen a Deuill then elected?
A17299Is it not therefore, because thou art sanctified by the death of Christ?
A17299Is it not therefore, because thou beleeuest in Christ?
A17299Is it regeneration begun and in part?
A17299Is it that righteousnesse, whereby wee are iustified in Gods sight?
A17299Is it therefore Gospel, because Manicheus saith it?
A17299Is not regeneration a worke of our saluation?
A17299Is not( at the least) the hearing of the Word a worke of preparation to grace?
A17299Is that sufficient?
A17299Is the promise of God in Christ therefore such a little ● tomus, such a perexigua particula, such a small mote in the eye of Faith?
A17299Is there no more difference betweene, Do this, and liue: and, Beleeue, and liue?
A17299Is this true faith therefore acceptable to God?
A17299Iste verò audire meruit, Dimissum est tibi peccatum tuum; To him it was said, Why do est thou persecute me?
A17299It is God that iustifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A17299It is God that iustifieth, who shall condemne?
A17299It is God that iustifieth; who is he that condemneth?
A17299It was vncertaine, when they said, Quis nouit?
A17299Iustin Martyr saith: Quid aliud peccata nostra potuisset tegere, quàm Christi iustitia?
A17299Know yee not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except yee be Reprobates?
A17299Let no man dare to say, Why doth he yet complaine?
A17299Mah nits tadhac?
A17299Nam si non tremueris eum, auferet quod dedit: Why with trembling?
A17299Nay more( which is also there implyed) euery iudgement whatsoeuer it bee, true or false, right or wrong, it proceedeth( shall I say, from the Lord?
A17299Nay, are they not rather the further off from Christ, by how much nature seemes more excellent and perfect in them?
A17299Nay, doth he not protest the contrary?
A17299Nec dicat sibi quis, si ex fide, quomodo gratis?
A17299No; but Augustine tels vs the reason: Quia peccata magna erant Niniuitarum, dixerunt, Quis nouit?
A17299No?
A17299Non audisti Apostolum, Iustus ex fide viuit?
A17299Non dicat ista homo fidelis; quia cum dixerit, vt merear iustificationem, habeo fidem: respondetur ei, Quid enim habes, quod non accepisti?
A17299Nondum quaero, quid viuas: sed quaero, quid credas?
A17299Nonne ergo certo futurum, quod praesciebat Deus?
A17299Nonne si fluctuat fides inanis est& spes nostra?
A17299Nonne vos,& c. Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill?
A17299Nor let any man say to himselfe, if it be of faith, how is it freely?
A17299Note, here is the Gospel preached; to who?
A17299Note, the Apostle vseth here the termes of a iudiciall triall: Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A17299Nothing?
A17299Now by what speciall signe is the body of a man known to liue?
A17299Now concerning the imputation of Christs righteousness, what do they understand by it?
A17299Now for whom was Christ, in the condition of his life, a seruant?
A17299Now hath God laid a foundation, and shall not he finish?
A17299Now how are we made the righteousnesse of God in Christ?
A17299Now how can any man reioyce of that, whereof hee is vncertaine and doubtfull, and which he knoweth not?
A17299Now how doth Soto, with all his subtilty, acquit his Pighius from being an hereticke in so saying?
A17299Now how shall all this be repaired againe?
A17299Now if this faith of theirs bee the iustifying faith, how comes it to passe, that they that haue this faith, are not iustified by it?
A17299Now if thou shouldst finde any man, who as yet doth not beleeue the Gospell, what wouldst thou doe if he said vnto thee, I doe not beleeue it?
A17299Now to stirre vp, what is it else, but as it were to awaken one from sleepe?
A17299Now to what time or condition, had Gods act or purpose of separating these two, one from the other, speciall reference?
A17299Now was not beleeuing Abraham a regenerate person?
A17299Now what boldnesse or confidence can a man haue, without assurance and certainty?
A17299Now what is it to put on Christ, but to make him wholly ours?
A17299Now what is it, that maketh a man confounded or ashamed, but sinne; and shame, the punishment of sinne?
A17299Now what is more sure and certaine than an euidence, or plaine demonstration?
A17299Now what righteousnesse doth this holy man meane here?
A17299Now will not he finde, thinkest thou, an infinite lightnes in thy best works?
A17299Nunquid de malo?
A17299Nunquid si immundam egerit vitam, non iudicatur?
A17299O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the truth?
A17299Of euill?
A17299Or can wee say, Our heart is not turned backe, nor our steps declined from thy way?
A17299Or doth God elect men to saluation, for the goodlinesse of their person?
A17299Or doth the Gospell depend vpon the testimony of one man?
A17299Or is the Apostles Faith working by loue, a Faith vnformed?
A17299Or that they goe about to betray Christ with Hayle Master?
A17299Or what is that loue the Apostle speaketh of, but charity?
A17299Or, That wee haue not forgotten the Name of our God, nor stretched out our hand to a strange God?
A17299Or, that their perseuerance is doubtfull?
A17299Otherwise, what reall difference can bee imagined to be betweene them?
A17299Our Sauiour saith, Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill?
A17299Pay him all, when hee had nothing to pay?
A17299Psalme, vpon the same words of the Apostle, Augustine saith; Quare cum tremore?
A17299Qu ● m noxie ei luctatus est serp ● ns,& gra ● ● bus ● um spirit ligauit?
A17299Quae incerta?
A17299Quae occulta?
A17299Quam enim requiem habene potest spiritus noster, dum praedestinationes suae nullum adhuc testimonium tenet?
A17299Qui ex impio facit iustum: deputatur sides eius ad iustitiam: What is that, Which iustifieth the vngodly?
A17299Qui morbum suum nescit, quomodo medicum quaerit?
A17299Quia Deus ignoscit talibus peccatoribus confitentibus,& punientibus sua peccata: What vncertainty?
A17299Quid est, Qui iustificat impium?
A17299Quis audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit?
A17299Quis potest dicere, Ego de electis sum,& c. Who can say, I am one of the elect, I am one of the predestinate to life, I am of the number of Sonnes?
A17299Quis scit, si conuertatur,& ignoscat,& c. Who knoweth, whether he will returne and repent, and leaue a blessing behinde him?
A17299Quis tollit praedestinationem Dei?
A17299Quis, Who?
A17299Quod ait, Quis?
A17299Quomodo ergo fidem quis audet dicere aestimationem, nisi qui Spiritum istum nondum accepti, quiue Euangelium aut ignoret, aut fabulam putet?
A17299S. Augustine saith: Quid est ergo credere in eum?
A17299Scio, cui credidi,& certus sum, clamat Apostolus;& tu mihi subsibilas, fides est aestimatio?
A17299Seest thou how Faith wrought with his workes, and by workes was Faith made perfect?
A17299Shall St. Austine be vmpire in this case?
A17299St. Chrysostome saith, Whence art thou made holy?
A17299Surely wee are no otherwise made the righteousnesse of God in Christ, than as Christ was made sinne for vs. How is that?
A17299Tell mee now in this case, what subiect would be so foolehardy, as openly to contemne and reiect the commandement of the King?
A17299Tell mee, what shall wee say of the very women?
A17299That casts a man downe in the sense of his misery, causing him to cry out, c Wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from this bodie of death?
A17299That yee may know,( not, that yee may haue some probable coniecture, but that yee may know) What?
A17299That yee may know: What?
A17299The Church of Rome challengeth authoritie ouer the Scriptures: I would faine know who gaue her this authoritie?
A17299The debter in the Gospell, that ought his Lord ten thousand Talents, but had not to pay: How did hee satisfie his Lord?
A17299The matter now standing betweene your No, and my Yea: who shall be the vmpire?
A17299The righteous shall scareely be saued; the sinner taken tardy, where shall hee appeare?
A17299The righteousnesse of God made ours by infusion of grace into vs?
A17299Then, as Esay saith, Who hath beleeued our report?
A17299Therefore faith being a vertue giuen to Gods Saints, whereby they are iustified, how can this Faith bee in the Diuels, or Damned?
A17299They said thus, reasoning with themselues, Who knoweth, if God will returne, and shew mercy?
A17299This beeing so cleere a Conclusion, what neede we adde further testimonies?
A17299Those of the Popes Canonizing?
A17299Those within their owne Church, such as are baptized?
A17299Thy good workes and merits?
A17299Till when?
A17299To prye into this Arcanum, or secret, what is it, but with the Bethshemites to peepe into Gods Arke, and so to perish by a fearfull plague?
A17299To what end?
A17299To what purpose then is it for any to come to heare the Word of God, if thereby he be not the better fitted and disposed to receiue grace?
A17299True: who can say it?
A17299Tum quorsum quaeso vniuersalis gratia?
A17299Vnde in corpore?
A17299Was Christ made sinne for vs, by hauing our sinnes inherent in him, or infused into him?
A17299Was Esay now vnregenerate?
A17299Was he therefore iustified?
A17299Was hee not obedient vnto the death?
A17299Was it a liuing and sauing Faith that Abraham had?
A17299Was it not Christ?
A17299Was not Abraham our father iustified by workes, when hee had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the Altar?
A17299Was not Dauid also a holy man, an honest hearted man, after Gods owne heart?
A17299Was not Gods Word?
A17299Was not this by faith of that better life promised in Christ?
A17299Was there any other grace to bee expected among the Sodomites, than onely a restraining grace, which yet not ten in the whole City were found to haue?
A17299We know it: and it is by Faith that we know it; and what greater certainty than knowledge?
A17299Well then, in this case what wilt thou doe?
A17299Well, but what grace of God is this, I pray you, that thus moueth mans free- will, as the waight, that sets the wheele a going?
A17299Well, how doth Vega auoyde this Argument concerning Faith in Christ, bringing saluation vpon all that beleeue?
A17299What Promise?
A17299What Saints?
A17299What bee they?
A17299What clearer Testimonies?
A17299What clearer testimony could this holy man giue of his strong confidence and assurance of his iustification by faith in God?
A17299What comfort in themselues, but horrour of conscience?
A17299What credit with men?
A17299What difference then is there betweene the Pontificians, and the Manicheans in this maine point?
A17299What difference( say they) between God: pardoning our debt, and giuing vs money to pay it?
A17299What difference?
A17299What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say hee hath faith, and haue no workes?
A17299What else can bee expected of such, as haue lost, or neuer had the true faith?
A17299What else?
A17299What faith is that?
A17299What faith?
A17299What forme?
A17299What free- will then can there be in vs by nature towards that thing, which our naturall vnderstanding is altogether ignorant of?
A17299What greater loue, what greater grace, what richer mercy, than for God to cast his eye of fauour vpon vs, euen when we were dead in sinnes?
A17299What hidden things?
A17299What honour with God?
A17299What if Faith now and then doe sleepe?
A17299What if there be fifty righteous in Sodome?
A17299What is meant hereby?
A17299What is that?
A17299What is this, that he saith, He that beleeueth shall not make haste?
A17299What makes all this for Vega''s vncertainty of Faith?
A17299What merit was in his bloudy hands?
A17299What merit was this trow we?
A17299What more neare?
A17299What need more testimonies?
A17299What needes more testimony in such a cloud of witnesses?
A17299What reach?
A17299What saith Bernard in his Sermon ad Pastores?
A17299What seale is this, but the seale of Faith?
A17299What should the Niniuites now doe in this case?
A17299What sinne was Iob addicted to?
A17299What spirit?
A17299What stands surer than a foundation?
A17299What was it, but the promise of God, whereupon by Faith Isaac blessed his Sonnes, v. 20. and Iacob his?
A17299What will he doc?
A17299What workes?
A17299What''s the reason?
A17299What''s thy reason for it?
A17299What, of anothers good?
A17299What?
A17299What?
A17299When doth God leaue his elect without witnesse?
A17299Whence art thou called faithfull?
A17299Whence in the body?
A17299Whence shall I expect saluation?
A17299Where is the Scribe?
A17299Where is the disputer of this world?
A17299Where is the wise?
A17299Where proue you this?
A17299Where saith it, That he that is borne of God doth sinne vnto death, and so falleth totally and finally from God?
A17299Where was the Church when the Gospell began first to be reuealed?
A17299Wherefore doest thou make vs to turne our backe from the enemy, that they which hate vs, spoile our goods?
A17299Wherefore then doe not these receiue the Gospell with all readinesse and freedome of will?
A17299Wherein consists it?
A17299Wherein must it bee inherent?
A17299Wherein?
A17299Whereupon Augustine saith; Quae incerta?
A17299Whereupon St. Augustine saith; Vnde, Cum timore ac tremore?
A17299Whereupon St. Chrysostome vpon these words, saith, O what an admirable word he vseth, saying, the argument of things not seene?
A17299Whereupon he inferreth, Quae occulta?
A17299Wherfore doest thou make vs a reproach vnto our neighbours, a scorne and derision to them that are round about vs?
A17299Which being so, what maruaile is it, if they vtterly renounce all Certainety of Faith, and of Saluation?
A17299Who art thou, vaine man, that pleadest against God?
A17299Who can conceiue, that a man should fully satisfie the iustice of God for the sinnes of the world?
A17299Who can conceiue, that the Sonne of God could suffer, and dye?
A17299Who can heare these things diligently, and intelligently, and dare doubt of this so cleare a truth, which we defend?
A17299Who could be ordained to eternall Life, without the gift of Perseuerance?
A17299Who dare say, Perhaps it shall not continue?
A17299Who is he that is called the Angell of great counsell?
A17299Who is he that will pleade with mee?
A17299Who knoweth?
A17299Who shall aduise me?
A17299Who shall then forbid Faith to fasten its eye vpon this louely obiect?
A17299Who then shall dare to say the contrarie?
A17299Why did not then Esau''s teares merit the blessing ex congruo?
A17299Why should wee not then rather take it for the soule and spirit of a man that is within him, than only for the breath which proceedeth from him?
A17299Why so?
A17299Why?
A17299Why?
A17299Why?
A17299Why?
A17299Will any suspect the Serpent to lurke vnder such flowers of Paradise?
A17299Will the Pontificians herein, as they are willing in other things, stand to the iudgement of their father Aristotle?
A17299Will they say, that Adams sinne merited, either by Congruity or by Condignity, Christ the Redeemer?
A17299Will they therefore say, that they which murthered Christ, merited pardon, either Congruously or Condignly?
A17299Will ye so eclipse the glory of his grace, as to confine it within such narrow bounds?
A17299Will yee speake wickedly for God, and talke deceitfully for him?
A17299Will you so limit Gods grace?
A17299Wilt thou know, O vaine man, that Faith without workes is dead?
A17299With what reason then can the Pontificians say, That charity, which is the branch, not the roote, giues life to the root, which is Faith?
A17299With whom is God well pleased in his Beloued?
A17299Would Vega and his side haue their merit of Congruity decreed?
A17299Would they( thinke you) so easily haue parted with their liue bird in the hand, vpon the vncertaine hazzard of two in the bush?
A17299Yea, but how shall God iustifie a sinner?
A17299Yea, hee that numbereth our haires, doth he not number the persons of his elect?
A17299Yea, how often doth Augustine mention the Apostles words, where he saith; Fides imputaretur ad iustitiam: Faith is imputed vnto righteousnesse?
A17299Yes( as knowing that such like threatnings are conditionall) they would at least put it to an aduenture, Who knoweth, if God will returne, and pardon?
A17299Yes: How doth that appeare?
A17299an offering in generall?
A17299and according to Ambrose, it is not free from trouble, being ouer- whelmed with horrour of Conscience?
A17299and being acceptable, is it not acceptable to saluation?
A17299and if vneuident, how is it a firme or certaine perswasion?
A17299and what actions of piety and mercy did he not abound in?
A17299and what foundation so sure, as Gods foundation?
A17299betweene mans owne righteousnesse, and Gods righteousnesse, the establishing of the one, being the abolishing of the other?
A17299by any inherent righteousnesse in vs, although deriued from the merit of Christs righteousnesse imputed, in the Popish sense?
A17299can the faith saue him?
A17299credendo amare, credendo diligere, credendo in eum ● re,& eius membris incorporari: What is it then to beleeue in him?
A17299doth it follow that this is our righteousnesse, to iustifie vs in the sight of God?
A17299for that which faith meriteth, why is it not rather rendred as due, than freely giuen?
A17299for who hath resisted his will?
A17299how shall wee iustifie our selues?
A17299is this sufficient to iustifie a man, to beleeue God, or the promise of God, that it should be said to be imputed to man for righteousnesse?
A17299nunquid de alieno?
A17299or Heathens and Pagans, without the pale of the Church, such as are not yet baptized, as Turkes, Iewes, or Indians?
A17299or dyed he in Gods displeasure?
A17299or his spirit, to wit, his breath?
A17299or must hee not come into the Kingdome of Heauen, whereof Canaan was a type?
A17299or that they were thereby prepared to iustification?
A17299or to build vpon this sure& proper foundation?
A17299or why did not Ahab''s repentance merit by Congruity, not onely a repriuall of punishment, but an absolute pardon of his sinne?
A17299quod enim fides meretur, cur non potius redditur, quàm donatur?
A17299shall that one preponderate the whole tenure of St, Augustines workes?
A17299the godly?
A17299the soule, or the spirit within a man?
A17299voluntarily incarnate, voluntarily suffering, voluntarily crucified, will hee keepe from vs his onely righteousnesse?
A17299voluntariè incarnatus, voluntariè passus, voluntariè crucifixus, solam à nobis retinebit iustitiam?
A17299was euer impudencie and folly so yoaked together?
A17299what a poore diminution is here; Particula, non pars?
A17299what profit, or what pleasure, or what contentment found he in any, or in all of them?
A17299what then?
A17299what vncertaine things?
A17299where comfort for thine appalled conscience?
A17299where wilt thou seeke reliefe for thy perplexed spirit?
A17299whither wilt thou flye?
A17299who shall accuse them?
A17299who shall bring in euidence against them?
A17299who shall lay any thing to their charge?
A17299would you also cast a myst before the Apostles eyes, that hee should not see what he said?
A17299yea, and that also where mention is made of our iustification by Christ?
A17308& c. That he saith, Who?
A17308* Nonpossem quidem, nisi miraculosè: that is: But how can I haue such a Faith( to remoue mountaines) and not charity?
A1730818. when they haue done all, what will they gaine but incertainty?
A173083. nor onely the Congregation, vers 13. but if any one of the common people sinne,& c. then hee shall bring: What?
A1730833, 34. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A1730833. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen?
A1730834. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A173089. Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane, I am pure from my sin?
A173089. Who knoweth, if God will returne and repent, and turne away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
A17308A faith common to reprobates?
A17308A temporall deliuerance only?
A17308A wilde Asse vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde at her pleasure, in her occasion who can turne her away?
A17308Ad hoc incertum, Niniuitae poenitentiam egerunt: dixerunt enim,& c. What hidden?
A17308Against whom; what accusation of sinne can be produced, but may easily bee proued?
A17308All other vnions, what are they to that one supreame, and( as I may so say) that onely one, where consubstantiality makes the vnity?
A17308Am I hereupon carelesse how I liue, because I haue receiued the euidence of Gods fauour towards mee in Christ?
A17308An euill tree doth not beare good fruit: Doest thou call an vnfaithfull man a good tree?
A17308And St. Augustine in his Soliloquies, saith sweetly: Vnde gloriabitur omnis caro?
A17308And St. Augustine to the same purpose, speaking of Peters Faith, proper to the Elect, saith, Dic, quae fides?
A17308And doth hee know this by Faith?
A17308And doth hee not then know, that hee is of the number of Gods elect?
A17308And else where he saith: Vnde mors in anima?
A17308And first, let him be demanded: Brother, doest thou reioyce, that thou shalt dye in the faith?
A17308And for Abrahams faith in Gods promise, what seed of Abraham was this, in whom all the Nations of the earth should be blessed?
A17308And for perseuerance the same Bernard saith: Quis nos separabit à charitate Dei?
A17308And he produceth Hieromes exposition, vpon the second of Ioel, Who knoweth, if God will repent, and pardon?
A17308And i ● not this loue the highest degree of charity that can bee?
A17308And if God the Iudge do iustifie, who shall condemne?
A17308And if men hauing this faith, may notwithstanding be damned, and carry it with them to hell, how is it a iustifying faith?
A17308And in another place hee saith, Si Gentilis( inquis) nudum operuit, nunquid quia non est ex fide, peccatum est?
A17308And shall the Elect themselues, who bring forth this Fruit, and haue this Faith, say, Perhaps they shall not perseuere?
A17308And the same Father addeth: What is the property of Faith?
A17308And this is the confidence that wee haue in him,& c. Now, hath euery true Beleeuer eternall Life?
A17308And what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols?
A17308And what can bee more firme or certaine, than truth?
A17308And what comparison between such a one, and the Apostles, who did so great miracles?
A17308And what concord 〈 … 〉 Christ with Belial?
A17308And what is his iudgement of all these things?
A17308And what is it that he saith, giuing glory to God?
A17308And what is the tidings?
A17308And what more contrary to the Scriptures; which say, If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature?
A17308And who are they that peruert the Scriptures to their owne destruction, but as St. Peter saith, the vnlearned and the vnstable?
A17308And who hath risisted his wil?
A17308And why at this time doth hee command all Christians to betake themselues to the Scriptures?
A17308And why may not so many habits of grace grow vpon the same roote and stemme of Faith, as so many distinct fruits vpon the same Tree of life?
A17308And, if she haue her authority from the Scriptures, how comes shee to challenge authority ouer that, from whom shee receiueth her authority?
A17308And, what certainty can there be in the Church, if this Church be no other than the Church of Rome?
A17308And, what certainty can there bee in the Scriptures, if they must depend vpon the authority of the Church, for their certainetie?
A17308Art not thou He, that in former times hast saued vs from our enemies,& hast put them to confusion, that hate vs?
A17308As Augustine sayth: Quis in ● ternam vitam potuit ordinari, nisi perseuerantiae dono?
A17308Audi illum alio loco,& c. Heare him in another place, Vpon whom shall my Spirit rest?
A17308Aut si electus non est,& c. Or if he be not elected, how did he elect Twelue, and not rather Eleuen?
A17308Basil saith, What is the property of a Christian?
A17308Basil saith, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what is the property of faith?
A17308Because the Niniuites sins were great, they said, Who knoweth?
A17308Being thus weake then, how should it dispose it selfe to receiue grace?
A17308Besides, doe not most Interpreters take it generally for the soule?
A17308But God is iust,& shal not he, the Iudge of all the world; do right?
A17308But O man( saith he) who ari th ● i ● that replyest against God?
A17308But are they to be accounted Christians and Beleeuers, that goe to Hell?
A17308But at the best, when all is done, is it euer the neerer to grace or iustification?
A17308But by what Faith?
A17308But did his gift depend vpon mans acceptance, that it might be effectuall if man would, otherwise not?
A17308But did not Circumcision iustifie the Iewes before the vse of Baptisme, as Baptisme doth now iustifie, comming in the stead of Circumcision?
A17308But doth Iob here vtter one syllable of the vncertainty of his faith, in God his Sauiour and Redeemer?
A17308But doth not a man vnderstand the Word preached, vnlesse first his vnderstanding be illuminated by Faith?
A17308But his pride ouerthrew all: Yet ● ● d he not ascribe his vertues to the worke of God in him?
A17308But how doe they proue, that this their repentance goes before faith in Christ in nature, and in the order of causes?
A17308But how doth he vnderstand the faith of these promises?
A17308But how doth he worke regeneration in vs?
A17308But how is their faith infused?
A17308But how iustified?
A17308But how liue?
A17308But how shall this beliefe moue me to Repentance, vnlesse I beleeue that this Sauiour is borne to me in particular?
A17308But how?
A17308But how?
A17308But if a man begin once to bring forth such fruits, shew me, if you can, any reason, why such a man is not already a true Conuert?
A17308But if a man leade an impure life, is he not condemned?
A17308But if not, what neede I bestow labour in vaine?
A17308But in what respect doth he oppose them?
A17308But is not the word Iustifie( as it is taken in the last sense, to wit, to absolue, or acquit as it were in iudgement) vsed by Paul?
A17308But is there no preparation vnto the receiuing of grace and iustification?
A17308But is this all?
A17308But is this sufficient to true Repentance?
A17308But may not our workes come in as sharers with Gods mercies?
A17308But shall hee glory of good?
A17308But shall we heare Vega expresse his minde cleerely and ingenuously, without any ambiguity?
A17308But shall we take all those for Reprobates, whose sinne the Scripture recordeth, but makes no mention of their repentance?
A17308But shall wee neede to bring candles to shew vs the light of the Sunne?
A17308But tell mee, Vega, what grace had Iudas, when he was chosen to be an Apostle?
A17308But to assay to answer these Pontifician Peraduentures, and seeming Probabilities, what were it else, but to goe about to shape a coate for the Moone?
A17308But to what purpose, when now the sentence was already pronounced of him that can not lye?
A17308But was he therefore, or thereby iustified?
A17308But was the Repentance of Ahab and of the Nineuites acceptable to God, because God for the present forbore to punish them?
A17308But what Faith?
A17308But what Repentance is this?
A17308But what do we certainly and vndoubtedly beleeue?
A17308But what might bee the meaning of this word Ineuident?
A17308But what need we further testimonies to vindicate thisi Catholick truth, that the authority of holy Scriptures was euer aboue the Church?
A17308But what''s the reason, that Vega will not pitch vpon one certaine and distinct Faith, specially meant by the Apostle?
A17308But whence proceeded this their vncertainty?
A17308But where is thy hand to put forth to receiue him?
A17308But who be they that receiue not this Gospell of God?
A17308But why doe I separate or distinguish vnfruitfull from damnable?
A17308But why so commonly impute iustification to Faith?
A17308But why vnder Pontius Pilate?
A17308But will the Pontifician say, Mans free- will is not for all this excluded from being an ingredient, at least in preparation?
A17308By Faith Abraham, being called, went out,& c. Was it not by Faith in Gods promise?
A17308By Faith Noah, warned of God, prepared the Arke, to the sauing of himselfe and house: Was it not by Faith in the promise of God?
A17308Can Emperours and Commanders in any Armie haue their wils presently obeyed ▪ and put in execution, without demanding a reason of them?
A17308Can a bad tree bring forth good fruit, saith Christ?
A17308Chapter hath reference; which Prouerbe also gaue occasion to this whole Chapter?
A17308Christo enim sic eos ponentev ● ● ant,& fructum afferant,& fructus eorum maneat: quis, audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit?
A17308Christs passiue obedience therefore being it selfe also actiue, how can these two possibly bee separated and diuorced one from the other?
A17308Chrysostome vpon the third Chapter to the Romanes, saith, What is the Law of Faith?
A17308Deuout a Bernard saith, Nonne si fluctuat fides, manis est& spes nostra?
A17308Did St. Peter meane, that the faithfull should be doubtfull, or vncertaine of their saluation?
A17308Did he not bring forth many fruits of faith, many good workes of charity, piety, mercy, hospitality, obedience, humility, and the like?
A17308Did he not, according to Gods direction, take and apply the lumpe of dry Figgs to the plague- sore, and so recouered?
A17308Did not Dauid know this by the certainty of faith?
A17308Did not therefore Moses repent him of his sinne?
A17308Do we not see here a manifest difference between Augustines owne application of vncertainty,& Vega''s strained application?
A17308Doe we euer reade, that God made man to be his owne Sauiour, as Pontificians blasphemously auouch?
A17308Doe wee know, that God loues vs in Christ?
A17308Doest thou beleeue that the Lord Iesus Christ, the Sonne of God, dyed for thee?
A17308Doest thou beleeue thou canst not bee saued, but by his death?
A17308Doest thou from thy heart thank him for this?
A17308Doest thou repent of it?
A17308Dost thou commend the admirable wisedome of God, in teaching man to ascribe the iustification of Faith to the mercy and glory of God?
A17308Doth Gregory hence conclude, that the elect is vncertaine of saluation, or that it is possible for him to become a reprobate?
A17308Doth any fall away, and apostatize from the truth?
A17308Doth the Councell of Laterans Decree dare vs, not to mention Antichrists comming?
A17308Doth this proue that hee was one of Gods eternall election?
A17308Dye they not in a most preposterous malice and enuy?
A17308Else what true Faith is it?
A17308Ergo animae tuae anima fides est: Whence is death in the soule?
A17308Ergo ● ● Diabolus electus est?
A17308Euery mans iudgement?
A17308Examine: What?
A17308Faith then being certaine, and confirmed also by the seale of Gods Spirit, what more certaine?
A17308Faith then is the seale of Gods testimony; and what greater certainty or assurance can be, than in a seale?
A17308Faith,( say they) is the roote of all Iustification: placing their iustification in hope and loue,& c. How then is Faith the roote?
A17308For God can not make vs, who are creatures, to bee Gods, infinite with himselfe the Creator?
A17308For I would aske them, whom they meane by their Adulti, or men of yeares?
A17308For Salomons saying, Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane?
A17308For doe not wee know, that for a naturall and morall wisedome, euen Heathen men, as many Pagan Philosophers, haue farre excelled many of Gods Saints?
A17308For else, if thou Lord wert with vs, how should so many calamities and disasters fall vpon vs, and vpon thy people round about vs?
A17308For first: whether was the Word of God, or the Church more ancient?
A17308For himselfe?
A17308For how can a man that is truely and infallibly certaine, be sayd therein vainely to presume?
A17308For how can the action bee acceptable, when the person is not?
A17308For if all the Creatures in the world could satisfie Gods iustice for one sinne: wherefore dyed the innocent Lambe, and the only Sonne of God?
A17308For if faith bee wauering, is not our hope also vaine?
A17308For the preaching of the Gospel, what is it, but a beame of this grace of God shining vpon sinners?
A17308For what if a man, yea the holiest man, if Dauid doe not know his sinnes, his slippes, and errors?
A17308For what rest can our spirit haue, while it retaineth as yet no testimony of its predestination?
A17308For what righteousnesse( I pray you) is that, which the Prophet there speakes of?
A17308For what saith the Scripture?
A17308For whatsoeuer authority the Church of Rome hath, if shee haue it not from the Scriptures, of what worth is her authority?
A17308For who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ?
A17308For, Who shall now lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen?
A17308For, how can a thing be certaine,& yet false, vnlesse it be certainly false, or a false certainety?
A17308For, what certainty of Faith can there bee, if the holy Scriptures, the obiect and ground of Faith, be not certaine?
A17308For, what saith the Scripture?
A17308From their faith?
A17308Fructus bonos non facit arbor mala: An dicis hominem infidelem arborem bonam?
A17308God giueth more grace, saith St. Iames: and what followeth?
A17308Gregory faith well, Hee that ● owes not his disease, how doth he seek to the Physitian?
A17308Had hee the true grace of iustification, whereby he was accepted with God?
A17308Had not then this great loue of God beene vtterly lost?
A17308Had not this gift beene such, as no man would receiue it?
A17308Haec non est gloria, sed miseria: sed nunquid gloriabitur de bono?
A17308Hast thou a will and purpose to amend, if thou shouldst haue time to liue longer?
A17308Hast thou not heard the Apostle, The iust shall liue by faith?
A17308Hast thou so much power to doe good, and dost it not?
A17308Hath not God made the wisedome of this world foolishnesse?
A17308Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill?
A17308Hauing therefore, Brethren, boldnesse to enter into the most holy by the bloud of Iesus: saith: Whence is this boldnesse?
A17308He alledgeth that of Dauid, Who can vnderstand his errors?
A17308He hauing said, Hee hath mercy on whom hee will, and whom hee will, hee hardeneth ▪ and thou replying, Why then doth God yet complaine?
A17308He may say, Who shall fetch Christ from aboue, that I may haue him within my reach?
A17308Hence, Saint Augustine to Consentius, sayth: Quis ita euanescat, vt existimet Petrum hoc habuisse in corde, quod in hee, quando Christum negauit?
A17308Hereupon he inferreth, if a man doe not know his sins, how can he be sure of his iustification?
A17308How beleeued he?
A17308How by faith?
A17308How can man bee iustified with God?
A17308How comes Pontius Pilate in our Christian Creed?
A17308How comes the vngodly to be iustified, if hee bring any meritto dispose him thereunto?
A17308How dangerously did the serpent incounter him, and bound him with grieuous chaines?
A17308How did Dauid know that God had forgiuen his sinnes, seeing he saith peremptorily, Thou forgauest the iniquity of my sinne?
A17308How different from the Councell of Trent?
A17308How doth Faith worke by loue, before it haue charity?
A17308How is that?
A17308How often doth Christ himselfe say in the Gospell, I came downe from Heauen not to doe mine owne will, but the will of him that sent mee?
A17308How shall a man come to Christ, wearie and laden, that he may be refreshed?
A17308How shall it be tryed?
A17308How shall the Law then be our Schoolmaster to bring vs to Christ, who came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance?
A17308How should England, formerly a terrour to her neighbours, become now their scorne and derision?
A17308How should man be iust with God?
A17308How so?
A17308How then comes this forraine righteousnesse vpon an vngodly man?
A17308How then dare any man call faith an opinion, but he that hath not as yet receiued that Spirit, or who knoweth not the Gospell, or reputes it a fable?
A17308How?
A17308How?
A17308How?
A17308I aske therefore who this Manicheus is?
A17308I demand not yet, how thou liuest: but how thou beleeuest?
A17308I know whom I haue beleeued, and am certaine, cryeth the Apostle; and doest thou whisper, faith is an opinion?
A17308I might answer with the Apostle; O vaine man, who art thou that repliest against God?
A17308If I bee wicked, woe vnto me: and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift vp my head; I am full of confusion,& c. But had Iob no good workes?
A17308If a Heathen( saist thou) shall couer the naked, is it therefore a sin, because it is not of faith?
A17308If it had not been Abrahams speciall Faith, how had it beene imputed to him for righteousnesse?
A17308If this Faith of his be a firme and certain perswasion, how is it vneuident?
A17308If thou, Lord, shouldst marke iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A17308In the sight of God?
A17308In this respect the Apostle makes a challenge in the behalfe of all Gods chosen: Who shall condemne them?
A17308In vs it is not to pay our debt for the least sinne: we can not answer him one for a thousand, as Iob saith; How should man be iust with God?
A17308In vs?
A17308Indeede St. Augustine saith, Quid est aliud iustificati, quam iusti facti?
A17308Is euen a Deuill then elected?
A17308Is it not therefore, because thou art sanctified by the death of Christ?
A17308Is it not therefore, because thou beleeuest in Christ?
A17308Is it regeneration begun and in part?
A17308Is it that righteousnesse, whereby wee are iustified in Gods sight?
A17308Is it therefore Gospel, because Manicheus saith it?
A17308Is not regeneration a worke of our saluation?
A17308Is not( at the least) the hearing of the Word a worke of preparation to grace?
A17308Is that sufficient?
A17308Is the promise of God in Christ therefore such a little atomus, such a perexigna particula, such a small mote in the eye of Faith?
A17308Is there no more difference betweene, Do this, and liue: and, Beleeue, and liue?
A17308Is this true faith therefore acceptable to God?
A17308Iste verò audire meruit, Dimissum est tibi peccatum tuum; To him it was said, Why doest thou persecute me?
A17308It is God that iustifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A17308It is God that iustifieth, who shall condemne?
A17308It is God that iustifieth; who is he that condemneth?
A17308It was vncertaine, when they said, Quis nouit?
A17308Iustin Martyr saith: Quid aliud peccata nostra potuisset tegere, quàm Christi iustitia?
A17308Know yee not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except yee be Reprobates?
A17308Let no man dare to say, Why doth he yet complaine?
A17308Mah nits tadhac?
A17308Nam si non trem ● ● ris eum, auferet quod dedit: Why with trembling?
A17308Nay more( which is also there implyed) euery iudgement whatsoeuer it bee, true or false, right or wrong, it proceedeth( shal I say, from the Lord?
A17308Nay, are they not rather the further off from Christ, by how much nature seemes more excellent and perfect in them?
A17308Nay, doth he not protest the contrary?
A17308Nay, was not his passiue obedience also actiue, by a voluntary offering vp of himselfe?
A17308Nec dicat sibi quis, si ex fide, quomodo gratis?
A17308No; but Augustine tels vs the reason: Quia peccata magna erant Niniuitarum, dixerunt, Quis nouit?
A17308No?
A17308Non audisti Apostolum, Iustus exfide viuit?
A17308Non dicat ista homo fidelis; quia cum dixerit, vt merear iustificationem, habeo fidem: respondetur ei, Quid enim habes, quod non accepisti?
A17308Nondum quaero, quid viuas: sed quaero, quid credas?
A17308Nonne ergo certo futurum, quod praesciebat Deus?
A17308Nonne si fluctuat fides inanis est& spes nostra?
A17308Nor let any man say to himselfe, if it be of faith, how is it freely?
A17308Note, here is the Gospel preached; to who?
A17308Note, the Apostle vseth here the termes of a iudiciall triall: Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A17308Nothing?
A17308Now by what speciall signe is the body of a man known to liue?
A17308Now concerning the imputation of Christs righteousness, what do they understand by it?
A17308Now for whom was Christ, in the condition of his life, a seruant?
A17308Now hath God laid a foundation, and shall not he finish?
A17308Now how are we made the righteousnesse of God in Christ?
A17308Now how can any man reioyce of that, whereof hee is vncertaine and doubtfull, and which he knoweth not?
A17308Now how doth Soto, with all his subtilty, acquit his Pighius from being an hereticke in so saying?
A17308Now how shall all this be repaired againe?
A17308Now if this faith of theirs bee the iustifying faith, how comes it to passe, that they that haue this faith, are not iustified by it?
A17308Now if thou shouldst finde any man, who as yet doth not beleeue the Gospell, what wouldst thou doe if he said vnto thee, I doe not beleeue it?
A17308Now to stirre vp, what is it else, but as it were to awaken one from sleepe?
A17308Now to what time or condition, had Gods act or purpose of separating these two, one from the other, speciall reference?
A17308Now was not beleeuing Abraham a regenerate person?
A17308Now what boldnesse or confidence can a man haue, without assurance and certainty?
A17308Now what is it to put on Christ, but to make him wholly ours?
A17308Now what is it, that maketh a man confounded or ashamed, but sinne; and shame, the punishment of sinne?
A17308Now what is more sure and certaine than an euidence, or plaine demonstration?
A17308Now what righteousnesse doth this holy man meane here?
A17308Now will not he finde, thinkest thou, an infinite lightnes in thy best works?
A17308Nunquid de malo?
A17308Nunquid si immundam egerit vitam, non iudicatur?
A17308O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the truth?
A17308Of euill?
A17308Or can wee say, Our heart is not turned backe, nor our steps declined from thy way?
A17308Or doth God elect men to saluation, for the goodlinesse of their person?
A17308Or doth the Gospell depend vpon the testimony of one man?
A17308Or is the Apostles Faith working by loue, a Faith vnformed?
A17308Or that they goe about to betray Christ with H ● yle Master?
A17308Or what is that loue the Apostle speaketh of, but charity?
A17308Or what part hath the Beleeuer with an Infidell?
A17308Or, That wee haue not forgotten the Name of our God, nor stretched out our hand to a strange God?
A17308Or, that their perseuerance is doubtfull?
A17308Otherwise, what reall difference can bee imagined to be betweene them?
A17308Our Sauiour saith ▪ Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill?
A17308Pay him all, when hee had nothing to pay?
A17308Psalme ▪ Nonne vos,& c. Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill?
A17308Psalme, vpon the same words of the Apostle, Augustine saith; Quare cum tremore?
A17308Quae incerta?
A17308Quae occulta?
A17308Quam enim requiem haben ● potest spiritus noster, dum praedestinationis suae nullum adhuc testimonium tenet?
A17308Qui ex impio facit iustum: deputatur fides eius ad iustitiam: What is that, Which iustifieth the vngodly?
A17308Qui morbum suum nescit, quomodo medicum quaerit?
A17308Quia Deus ignoscit talibus peccatoribus con ● itentibus,& punientibus sua peccata: What vncertainty?
A17308Quid est, Qui iustificat impium?
A17308Quis audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit?
A17308Quis potest dicere, Ego de electis sum,& c. Who can say, I am one of the elect, I am one of the predestinate to life, I am of the number of Sonnes?
A17308Quis scit, si conuertatur,& ignoscat,& c. Who knoweth, whether he will returne and repent, and leaue a blessing behinde him?
A17308Quis tollit pradesti ● ationem Dei?
A17308Quis, Who?
A17308Quodait, Quis?
A17308Quomodo ergo fidem quis audet dicere aestimationem, nisi qui Spiritum istum nondum accepit, quiue Euangelium aut ignoret, aut fabulam putet?
A17308Quàm noxiè ▪ ei luctatus est serpens,& grauibus ● um spiris liga ● it?
A17308S. Augustine saith: Quid est ergo credere in eum?
A17308Scio, cui credidi,& certus sum, clamat Apostolus;& tu mihi subsibilas, fides est aestimatio?
A17308Seest thou how Faith wrought with his workes, and by workes was Faith made perfect?
A17308Shall St. Austine be vmpire in this case?
A17308St. Chrysostome saith, Whence art thou made holy?
A17308Surely wee are no otherwise made the righteousnesse of God in Christ, than as Christ was made sinne for vs. How is that?
A17308Tell mee now in this case, what subiect would be so foolehardy, as openly to contemne and reiect the commandement of the King?
A17308Tell mee, what shall wee say of the very women?
A17308That yee may know,( not, that yee may haue some probable coniecture, but that yee may know) What?
A17308That yee may know: What?
A17308The Church of Rome challengeth authoritie ouer the Scriptures: I would faine know who gaue her this authoritie?
A17308The Councell it selfe tels vs, chap 7. where speaking of the formall cause of iustification, they call it the righteousnesse of God; but how?
A17308The debter in the Gospell, that ought his Lord ten thousand Talents, but had not to pay: How did hee satisfie his Lord?
A17308The matter now standing betweene your No, and my Yea: who shall be the vmpire?
A17308The righteous shall scarcely be saued; the sinner taken tardy, where shall hee appeare?
A17308The righteousnesse of God made ours by infusion of grace into vs?
A17308Then, as Esay saith, Who hath beleeued our report?
A17308Therefore faith being a vertue giuen to Gods Saints, whereby they are iustified, how can this Faith bee in the Diuels, or Damned?
A17308They said thus, reasoning with themselues, Who knoweth, if God will returne, and shew mercy?
A17308This beeing so cleere a Conclusion, what neede we adde further testimonies?
A17308Those of the Popes Canonizing?
A17308Those within their owne Church, such as are baptized?
A17308Thy good workes and merits?
A17308Till when?
A17308To prye into this Arcanum, or secret, what is it, but with the Bethshemites to peepe into Gods Arke, and so to perish by a fearfull plague?
A17308To what end?
A17308To what purpose then is it for any to come to heare the Word of God, if thereby he be not the better fitted and disposed to receiue grace?
A17308True: who can say it?
A17308Tum qu ● rsum quaso vniuersalis gratia?
A17308Vnde in corpore?
A17308Was Christ made sinne for vs, by hauing our sinnes inherent in him, or infused into him?
A17308Was Esay now vnregenerate?
A17308Was he therefore iustified?
A17308Was hee not obedient vnto the death?
A17308Was it a liuing and sauing Faith that Abraham had?
A17308Was it not Christ?
A17308Was not Abraham our father iustified by workes, when hee had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the Altar?
A17308Was not Dauid also a holy man, an honest hearted man, after Gods owne heart?
A17308Was not Gods Word?
A17308Was not this by faith of that better life promised in Christ?
A17308Was there any other grace to bee expected among the Sodomites, than onely a restraining grace, which yet not ten in the whole City were found to haue?
A17308We know it: and it is by Faith that we know it; and what greater certainty than knowledge?
A17308Well th ● n, in this case what wilt thou doe?
A17308Well, but what grace of God is this, I pray you, that thus moueth mans free- will, as the waight, that sets the wheele a going?
A17308Well, how doth Vega auoyde this Argument concerning Faith in Christ, bringing saluation vpon all that beleeue?
A17308What Promise?
A17308What Saints?
A17308What bee they?
A17308What clearer Testimonies?
A17308What clearer testimony could this holy man giue of his strong confidence and assurance of his iustification by faith in God?
A17308What comfort in themselues, but horrour of conscience?
A17308What credit with men?
A17308What difference then is there betweene the Pontificians, and the Manicheans in this maine point?
A17308What difference( say they) between Gods pardoning our debt, and giuing vs money to pay it?
A17308What difference?
A17308What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say hee hath faith, and haue no workes?
A17308What else can bee expected of such, as haue lost, or neuer had the true faith?
A17308What else?
A17308What faith is that?
A17308What faith?
A17308What fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse?
A17308What forme?
A17308What free- will then can there be in vs by nature towards that thing, which our naturall vnderstanding is altogether ignorant of?
A17308What greater loue, what greater grace, what richer mercy, tha ● for God to cast his eye of fauour vpon vs, euen when we were dead in ● ● ● es?
A17308What hidden things?
A17308What honour with God?
A17308What if Faith now and then doe sleepe?
A17308What if there be fifty righteous in Sodome?
A17308What is meant hereby?
A17308What is that?
A17308What is this, that he saith, He that beleeueth shall not make haste?
A17308What makes all this for Vega''s vncertainty of Faith?
A17308What merit was in his bloudy hands?
A17308What merit was this trow we?
A17308What more neare?
A17308What need more testimonies?
A17308What needes more testimony in such a cloud of witnesses?
A17308What reach?
A17308What saith Bernard in his Sermon ad Pastores?
A17308What seale is this, but the seale of Faith?
A17308What should the Niniuites now doe in this case?
A17308What sinne was Iob addicted to?
A17308What spirit?
A17308What stands surer than a foundation?
A17308What was it, but the promise of God, whereupon by Faith Isaac blessed his Sonnes, v. 20. and Iacob his?
A17308What will he doe?
A17308What workes?
A17308What''s the reason?
A17308What''s thy reason for it?
A17308What, of anothers good?
A17308What?
A17308What?
A17308When doth God leaue his elect without witnesse?
A17308Whence art thou called faithfull?
A17308Whence in the body?
A17308Whence shall I expect saluation?
A17308Where is the Scribe?
A17308Where is the disputer of this world?
A17308Where is the wise?
A17308Where proue you this?
A17308Where saith it, That he that is borne of God doth sinne vnto death, and so falleth totally and finally from God?
A17308Where was the Church when the Gospell began first to be reuealed?
A17308Wherefore doest thou make vs to turne our backe from the enemy, that they which hate vs, spoile our goods?
A17308Wherefore then doe not these receiue the Gospell with all readinesse and freedome of will?
A17308Wherein consists it?
A17308Wherein must it bee inherent?
A17308Wherein?
A17308Whereupon Augustine saith; Quae incerta?
A17308Whereupon St. Augustine saith; Vnde, Cum timore ac tremore?
A17308Whereupon St. Chrysostome vpon these words, saith, O what an admirable word he vseth, saying, the argument of things not seene?
A17308Whereupon he inferreth, Quae occulta?
A17308Wherfore doest thou make vs a reproach vnto our neighbours, a scorne and derision to them that are round about vs?
A17308Which being so, what maruaile is it, if they vtterly renounce all Certainety of Faith, and of Saluation?
A17308Who art thou, vaine man, that pleadest against God?
A17308Who can conceiue, that a man should fully satisfie the iustice of God for the sinnes of the world?
A17308Who can conceiue, that the Sonne of God could suffer, and dye?
A17308Who can heare these things diligently, and intelligently, and dare doubt of this so cleare a truth, which we defend?
A17308Who could be ordained to eternall Life, without the gift of Perseuerance?
A17308Who dare say ▪ Perhaps it shall not continue?
A17308Who is he that is called the Angell of great counsell?
A17308Who is he that will pleade with mee?
A17308Who knoweth?
A17308Who shall aduise me?
A17308Who shall then forbid Faith to fasten its eye vpon this louely obiect?
A17308Who then shall dare to say the contrarie?
A17308Why did not then Esau''s teares merit the blessing ex congruo?
A17308Why should wee not then rather take it for the soule and spirit of a man that is within him, than only for the breath which proceedeth from him?
A17308Why so?
A17308Why?
A17308Why?
A17308Why?
A17308Why?
A17308Will any suspect the Serpent to lurke vnder such flowers of Paradise?
A17308Will the Pontificians herein, as they are willing in other things, stand to the iudgement of their father Aristotle?
A17308Will they say, that Adams sinne merited, either by Congruity or by Condignity, Christ the Redeemer?
A17308Will they therefore say, that they which murthered Christ, merited pardon, either Congruously or Condignly?
A17308Will ye so eclipse the glory of his grace, as to confine it within such narrow bounds?
A17308Will yee speake wickedly for God, and talke deceitfully for him?
A17308Will you so limit Gods grace?
A17308Wilt thou know, O vaine man, that Faith without workes is dead?
A17308With what reason then can the Pontificians say, That charity, which is the branch, not the roote, giues life to the root, which is Faith?
A17308With whom is God well pleased in his Beloued?
A17308Would Vega and his side haue their merit of Congruity decreed?
A17308Would they( thinke you) so easily haue parted with their liue bird in the hand, vpon the vncertaine hazzard of two in the bush?
A17308Yea, but how shall God iustifie a sinner?
A17308Yea, hee that numbereth our haires, doth he not number the persons of his elect?
A17308Yea, how often doth Augustine mention the Apostles words, where he saith; Fides imputaretur ad iustitiam: Faith is imputed vnto righteousnesse?
A17308Yes( as knowing that such like threatnings are conditionall) they would at least put it to an aduenture, Who knoweth, if God will returne, and pardon?
A17308Yes: How doth that appeare?
A17308an offering in generall?
A17308and according to Ambrose, it is not free from trouble, being ouer- whelmed with horrour of Conscience?
A17308and being acceptable, is it not acceptable to saluation?
A17308and if vneuident, how is it a firme or certaine perswasion?
A17308and what actions of piety and mercy did he not abound in?
A17308and what communion hath light with darkenesse?
A17308and what foundation so sure, as Gods foundation?
A17308betweene mans owne righteousnesse, and Gods righteousnesse, the establishing of the one, being the abolishing of the other?
A17308by any inherent righteousnesse in vs, although deriued from the merit of Christs righteousnesse imputed, in the Popish sense?
A17308can the faith saue him?
A17308credendo amare, credendo diligere, credendo in eumire,& eius membris incorporari: What is it then to beleeue in him?
A17308doth it follow that this is our righteousnesse, to iustifie vs in the sight of God?
A17308for that which faith meriteth, why is it not rather rendred as due, than freely giuen?
A17308for who hath resisted his will?
A17308how shall wee iustifie our selues?
A17308is this sufficient to iustifie a man, to beleeue God, or the promise of God, that it should be said to be imputed to man for righteousnesse?
A17308nunquid de alieno?
A17308or Heathens and Pagans, without the pale of the Church, such as are not yet baptized, as Turkes, Iewes, or Indians?
A17308or dyed he in Gods displeasure?
A17308or his spirit, to wit, his breath?
A17308or must hee not come into the Kingdome of Heauen, whereof Canaan was a type?
A17308or that they were thereby prepared to iustification?
A17308or to build vpon this sure& proper foundation?
A17308or why did not Ahab''s repentance merit by Congruity, not onely a repriuall of punishment, but an absolute pardon of his sinne?
A17308praedest ● ● ationis) veritas deserenda, aut ex Euangelio delenda putabitur?
A17308quod enim fides meretur, cur non potius redditur, quàm donatur?
A17308shall that one preponderate the whole tenure of St, Augustines workes?
A17308the godly?
A17308the righteousnesse of God imputed to vs?
A17308the soule, or the spirit within a man?
A17308vnto it, and so leaue a very small, not part, but diminitiue particle for faith in the promises of God?
A17308voluntarily incarnate, voluntarily suffering, voluntarily crucified, will hee keepe from vs his onely righteousnesse?
A17308voluntariè incarnatus, voluntariè passus, voluntariè crucifixus, solam à nobis retinebit iustitiam?
A17308was euer impudencie and folly so yoaked together?
A17308what a poore diminution is here; Particula, non pars: is not this diminitiue enough, but hee must put small; yea, perexigua, very small?
A17308what profit, or what pleasure, or what contentment found he in any, or in all of them?
A17308what then?
A17308what vncertaine things?
A17308where comfort for thine appalled conscience?
A17308whither wilt thou flye ▪ where wilt thou seeke reliefe for thy perplexed spirit?
A17308who shall accuse them?
A17308who shall bring in euidence against them?
A17308who shall lay any thing to their charge?
A17308would you also cast a myst before the Apostles eyes, that hee should not see what he said?
A17308yea, and that also where mention is made of our iustification by Christ?
A26974& c. — Dare any say that God hath not commanded good works?
A26974& c.] Is it not necessary that these be done then, both as duty commanded, and as a condition or some means of the end propounded and promised?

A26974A DISPVTATION OF JVSTIFICATION: Whether any Works be any Conditions of it?
A26974A naked term[ Condition] expounded by you that never saw my heart?
A26974Active or Passive?
A26974Am I credible only when I speak amiss, and not at all when I speak right?
A26974Am not I like to have a fair hand think you of this Disputer?
A26974An efficientis Causalitas, Actio?
A26974And I pray search, whether in this Question, you do not confound your Notions ex parte objecti, and ex parte Actus?
A26974And can you think then that Remission and Justification have several conditions?
A26974And do I need to say any more now in defence of this opinion, which my Reverend Brother saith is not to be endured?
A26974And do not men that make address, address themselves in like variety?
A26974And do we make any doubt of this?
A26974And do you think Ghemnitius did join with the Papists of Trent, when he confuted them?
A26974And do you think in good sadness that one single Physical act can be the act of both the faculties?
A26974And do you think that we can any better tell when we have all that are Essential?
A26974And doth he not thereby make over, as it were under his hand, the Lord Jesus, and all his Benefits to them that will receive him?
A26974And doth it therefore follow that they can be no Conditions of our continued Justification?
A26974And doth not every man that is saved so fulfill the conditions of the new Covenant?
A26974And first, We must understand what it is that is distinguished: whether the Habit of faith, or the Acts?
A26974And how can that Law pronounce a man, or his action righteous, which curseth him, and condemneth him to Hell for that same Action?
A26974And how could you over- look it, that your Argument flyeth too boldly in the face of Christ, and many a plain Text of Scripture?
A26974And how do these men vilifie them, and rob them of their highest honor, that deny them to be the Laws of God?
A26974And how many new Methods and Doctrines of Philosophy this one age hath produced?
A26974And how oft hath Bellarmine been called Sophister for supposing, we mean such an apprehension?
A26974And how?
A26974And if faith be a passive physical instrument, it must have a Physical Efficiency?
A26974And if he had said,[ He that repenteth, or loveth, or calleth on the name of the Lord, shall be justified or saved] would not these have done it?
A26974And if means, of what sort, if not conditions?
A26974And if this be common to Hypocrites and Reprobates, what a case are we in then?
A26974And if you did not mean that these are conditions of Pardon, and Justification, when you say they are, who can understand you?
A26974And indeed what man denyeth it?
A26974And is it not Christs whole Law which is of force when he is dead, and called his Testament?
A26974And is it not great partiality to let the same pass as currant from them, which from me must be condemned?
A26974And is it now come to that pass that these can not be known?
A26974And is not Justification one benefit?
A26974And is not final Justification a freeing us from that Curse?
A26974And is not perseverance in faith as necessary as perseverance in obedience?
A26974And is not that the Law and Testimony to which we must seek?
A26974And is not that to say as much as I?
A26974And is not the Promise undoubtedly Gods Deed of Gift?
A26974And is not the imperfection of faith and repentance a sin?
A26974And is the condition of her Dignity, only the Taking him as a Prince who is Rich and Honourable?
A26974And is this wholly superfluous?
A26974And may not this tend to an accommodation between us in this Point?
A26974And now was here a fit occasion to speak reproach fully of Paul, as extream ignorant, or unfaithful, or immanis sophista?
A26974And of our Divines that say there is inherent Righteousness?
A26974And on the other side, whether it may not be of dangerous consequence, as injurious to Christ, to deny so great a part of his Dominion?
A26974And so to Believe, is not agere, but pati or recipere?
A26974And so whether we are justified by Works as such a Condition?
A26974And that repentance is not recipient, how easily do I yeild to you?
A26974And then how were all the faithful justified before Christs Incarnation and Ascension?
A26974And then the question still remaineth, whether those qualifications are means or no means?
A26974And what Reference to Justification is it?
A26974And what Transient Act is it that God then and there puts forth or performeth?
A26974And what do the generality of our Divines mean, when they say that Faith and new Obedience are our conditions of the Covenant?
A26974And what do your defences do to justifie such dealing?
A26974And what is Presumption, if it be not this very faith which Divines call justifying?
A26974And what is the unwarrantable sense?
A26974And what is the 〈 ◊ 〉 or Aptitude of faith but this?
A26974And what is this, but plainly to forbid me to dispute with you?
A26974And what then?
A26974And what think you is the happy Light that deserveth all this ostentation?
A26974And wherein is the Essential, formal difference between a wicked mans resting on Christ for Justification, and a true Believers?
A26974And whether it be not introduced by Pious Divines meerly in heat of Disputation, which usually carryeth men into extreams?
A26974And whether they stick in the air, and have all their Being first there, as Magyrus, and other Peripateticks?
A26974And which is the more clear, certain and safe?
A26974And which should you take to be indeed my sense?
A26974And who ever said that in all or any of these the Soul is Passive and not Active?
A26974And why do not stones wast by such an uncessant emanation?
A26974And why may it not be added also to the Predicate, as well as it may Reduplicatively?
A26974And why may not I be judged Orthodox in that point, when I heartily subscribe to the National Assemblies Definition?
A26974And why may not I with Dr. Preston, Mr. Wallis,& c. say it is an Acceptance, or consent, joyned with Assent?
A26974And why may we not say,[ A state of Sonship or salvation] as well as of Justification?
A26974And why might not Abraham be instanced in?
A26974And why speak you not of faith in one part of your comparison, as well as in the other?
A26974And why then may not we call it faith?
A26974And will you meet all these with your objections, and say,[ How shall I know when I have the full number?
A26974And yet do you think this too big to be essential to Christian Faith?
A26974And yet must we voluminously differ, when I have told you that I allow it?
A26974And yet will you say that faith or inherent righteousness is Legal and not Evangelical?
A26974Are not Knowledge, Words, Works, ours, by all which God saith, we are justified?
A26974Are these things doubtfull among Divines or Christians?
A26974Are we so well agreed, that you marvell at my supposition of this difference?
A26974As for your discourse, whether Paul disputes what is our Righteousness?
A26974At least do they not compound their Righteousness( as to the law of Works) partly of Christs satisfaction, and partly of their own Works?
A26974But I ask, if there be justifying works, how saith Paul true?
A26974But I wonder at his proof of his Sequel[ Because he who is ungodly is not legally righteous] what is that to the Question?
A26974But Paul doth not resolve there[ what is the Condition on which Christ makes over this Righteousness of his?]
A26974But are you indeed of the contrary opinion, and against that which you dispute against?
A26974But do you indeed think that when Paul excludeth the works of the Law, that he excludeth them only as Recipient?
A26974But do you not hereby confess that I give no more to works then you, but only less to faith?
A26974But do you think that Repentance is not necessarily Antecedent to Justification, as well as to Remission?
A26974But for works; How shall I know when I have the full number of them?
A26974But from what interest?
A26974But here is the question, Can a godly man dying, think the Righteousness of Christ is made his by working or believing?
A26974But if it be the Object that he meaneth, then what force or sense is there in his Argument, from the terms,[ Purposing, Intending, Confessing?]
A26974But if you do use it as a means, then what means is it?
A26974But if you mean not this simple apprehension( as sure you do not) then how is it possible to imagine the understanding should be passive in it?
A26974But if you will say so, what remedy But perhaps I intimate so much in my words; In what words?
A26974But if[ only] be here understood, really doth not this Brother desire to know Christ obeying, Christ risen, Christ teaching, ruling, interceding,& c?
A26974But in what sence James saith, we are justified by works, and not by Faith only?
A26974But is it Christ or the believer that you put in these various Relations?
A26974But is it not possible that it may cheat or deceive themselves, though some never utter it to the deceiving of others?
A26974But is this the state of the question with us?
A26974But now, on the other side, what inconvenience is there in the Doctrine of faith and justification as I deliver it?
A26974But the question is whether the Interest of the several acts of our faith be accordingly distinct?
A26974But to his Argument, I deny the consequence of the Major; and how is it proved?
A26974But was it possible for them to be justified without the blood of Christ?
A26974But what Condition?
A26974But what are those All things?
A26974But what condition?
A26974But what if I be mistaken in this point?
A26974But what if works and faith were both of them applyed to procure our Justification?
A26974But what if you had only said that Faith is morally passive, and not physically?
A26974But what is this to you?
A26974But what remedy?
A26974But what strange Arguments are these, that are such strangers still to the question?
A26974But why do you say only of Repentance that[ it is the condition of Remision] and of forgiving others, that[ it is the condition of entring into life?]
A26974But yet further, if Faith be passive Physically, let us find out first what is the Agent?
A26974But you ask[ If Christs righteousness be able to satisfie, what is the matter that it removeth not all our Evangelical failings?
A26974But your Doctrine, what Oedipus is able to unfold?
A26974But, saith he, to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by the works of the Law, If the Righteousness of faith were not sufficient?
A26974By what physical act of the Agent?
A26974By what physical contact faith doth receive this?
A26974Can I not tell you that your Argument is a Fallacy, but you will thus exclaim of me, as making you an Impostor?
A26974Can every poor man or woman reach to know what a passive Action, or a passive Passion, or a Passive Instrument is?
A26974Can he know that all shall work to him for good, though he know not whether he love God?
A26974Can no man but the Perfectly obedient, perform the condition of pardon in the Gospel?
A26974Can you find any lower place to give it?
A26974Can you tell?
A26974Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,( Guilt is the great load:) But under what Notion will Christ be come to?
A26974Dare you tell any man of yout Hearers that though he have not so much as a Purpose to mend, yet he is justified by Faith?
A26974Did Christ expiate the sins, that by the Gospel men are obliged to punishment for?
A26974Did I ever deny that faith must eye and follow Christs death to bring us to God?
A26974Did ever man that writ of Philosophy once think that the soul did componere, dicidere, ratiocinari, judicare, patiendo& non agendo?
A26974Did not Abrahams Obedience, and other works flow from Grace?
A26974Did not each of these forsake that which by the former was accounted the good sound Definition?
A26974Did they ever tell you that this distinction is in them?
A26974Did we ever deny that Faith must be directed to Christ as Priest?
A26974Did you doubt of these?
A26974Did you ever see my Papers, or theirs?
A26974Digbyes Atomes or number of small bodies which are in perpetual motion?
A26974Do I ascribe any of Christs honour in the work to man?
A26974Do I call the duty, a work of the Law, because I say the Law condemneth the neglecters of it?
A26974Do I say any more then the Assembly saith in the preceding Question?
A26974Do you believe in your conscience, that Christ is presented and represented in the Supper only as dying?
A26974Do you believe this your self?
A26974Do you indeed think, that to be an efficient cause of our justification, and to be a bare condition, is all one?
A26974Do you not believe this?
A26974Do you not discern that the Question concerneth you and every man, as much as me?
A26974Do you not give up the Protestant cause here to the Papists in the point of certainty of salvation?
A26974Do you not see that it is against you?
A26974Do you not your selves call it fides formata charitate?
A26974Do you think he did?
A26974Do you think that I deny a godly life to be a comfortable testimony, and a necessary qualification of a man for pardon?
A26974Do you think that any of these do make the pardon to be of Debt, and not of Grace?
A26974Do you think that only the first instantaneous act of faith doth justifie, and no other after through the course of our lives?
A26974Do you think that the Law doth not threaten unbelievers, when the Gospel hath commanded faith?
A26974Do you verily believe that Repentance and Faith have no Interest in our Pardon, in sub- ordination to Christ?
A26974Does not every man that undergoes various relations, variously act according to them?
A26974Doth God every moment at a Court of Angels Declare each sinner in the world, remitted of his particular sin?
A26974Doth he that speaks of receiving a man to be our Husband, King, Master,& c. mean it of one only Act?
A26974Doth his Title cease as oft as he shuts his lips from saying, I thank you?
A26974Doth it intervene between Christ and the effect?
A26974Doth not Christ say, Take my yoak learn of me to be meek and lowly, that they may have ease and rest?
A26974Doth not the Apostle contradict you by expounding himself in the very next verse before those you cite?
A26974Doth that dishonour it?
A26974Doth the Doctrine of faith alone without Christ advance Grace?
A26974Doth the Gospel justifie us?
A26974Doth the first acceptance here serve turn for continuance of what is first received, without the following Homage and Fidelity?
A26974Doth[ Trusting him and Believing him] exclude a Resolution to obey his Directions and the future actual obedience?
A26974Ease and Rest?
A26974Else why may not they see it in it self?
A26974Enquire whether videre, audire, be only Grammatical Actions( as you call them) and natural passions?
A26974Ergo,& c. The Major is evident: What Saint dare say, that he hath a work that makes not the Reward of Grace, especially when it is a work of Grace?
A26974Even the performance of the Conditions on mans part?
A26974Even they that raise questions, what one act of faith doth justifie, whether of the Vnderstanding or Will?
A26974First you say, you exclude a co- operation effective, but why do we strive about words?
A26974First, Did ever any man deny the necessity of inherent Righteousness, that was called a Protestant?
A26974For how can they have any comfort that know not whether they are justified and shall be saved?
A26974For is not this all that Paul ayms at in speaking so oft of Faith in Relation to Christs death and Righteousness, rather then to his Government?
A26974For is that the state of the question with us?
A26974For to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by works of the Law, if the righteousness of Faith were not sufficient?
A26974For what Divine denyeth works to be a condition of Salvation, or of the final Justification?
A26974For what is our final Justification, but a Determination of the Question by publick sentence, on our side, Whether we have Right to salvation or not?
A26974For what should I do?
A26974For your question, How come the imperfections in our conditions to be pardoned?
A26974From what?
A26974Had I but delivered such a Doctrine as this, what should I have heard?
A26974Hath not God said?]
A26974Hath the Covenant of Grace( which promiseth Justification and Glorification) any condition on our parts, or none?
A26974Have not I ever yielded to you that all works are excluded from Justifying as works?
A26974Have you not Christs express words, that forgiving others is a condition of our Remission?
A26974He instances in Abrahams works, and excludes them: now were Abrahams works, works done by the meer strength of the Law?
A26974Here is causality, though improper; Here is a causa dispositiva: and yet shall I be blamed after I had removed Efficiency and Merit?
A26974His fifth Argument is, that[ These two Justifications overthrow each other: If by one we have peace with God, what need the other?
A26974His own received him not; What is that but they refused him?
A26974How can good works perfect our Justification, being themselves imperfect?]
A26974How can justifying faith qua talis in the act of Justifying, and Repentance, be reducible duties to the Law taken strictly?
A26974How could he have brought a plainer evidence against himself?
A26974How could you wink so hard as not to see that your Argument is as much against your self as me, if you do but turn it thus?
A26974How doth it receive it?
A26974How oft doth the Scripture expresly mention faith in our Lord Jesus Christ?
A26974How strangely is it painted?
A26974How then can you tell the world in print, that it seems I have met with a pack of Impostors, even them you mention?
A26974How then is Love the fruit of faith, and as Divines say, a consequent of Justification?
A26974How will they know when they Repent and Believe, when they have performed the full of these?
A26974How will you ever prove, that our Entering into Life, and our continued remission or Justification have not the same conditions?
A26974How would you have your Reader understand these two insinuations?
A26974I deny his Consequence: And how is it proved?
A26974I wonder that men should so little know the difference betwixt Earth and Heaven; a sinner in flesh, and a Saint that is equal to the Angels of God?
A26974I wonder what made you think me of such an opinion that I have so much wrote against?
A26974I would know 1. whether we are Guilty( not only facti, sed poenae) of every sin we commit?
A26974I would sain know what that is which you here call Faith, and say its passive?
A26974If God had not said[ He that believeth shall be justified and saved,] would Believing have done it?
A26974If Satan say, This man both deserved death by sining since he Believed( as David) must we not be justified from that Accusation?
A26974If faith should deserve the name of an instrument, when I think it is but a condition?
A26974If faith were such a Physical Passive( or Active) Instrument, whether that be the formal direct reason of its justifying?
A26974If he[ have not works, can faith save him?]
A26974If it be no cause of pardon; Is it a condition sine qua non, as to that manner of pardoning that your prayer doth intend?
A26974If it were, Whether that be the primary, formal Reason of its justifying vertue?
A26974If medii, then what medium is it?
A26974If of that, it s granted: but it s still denyed that perseverance is any of the Condition of our first pardon?
A26974If one righteousness may serve, may not Pilate and Simon Magus be justified, if no man be put to prove his part in it?
A26974If so, what hope of Justice?
A26974If the later, you might as well have said, the Socinians assert that there is a God, and so do we: But to what purpose?
A26974If we are Guilty, how can that consist with a justified state?
A26974If we must fulfill him ▪ why may not a dying man look on them?
A26974If you have, what place is it?
A26974If you say, What need you then dispute the point, if they deny it not whom you dispute with?
A26974Indeed if the Condition be never performed, then it destroyes or prevents the effect, and so the Instrument doth not agere: And why?
A26974Is Believing attributed to God, or is it an act of man?
A26974Is Love any part of the Condition of her Pardon and Dignity?
A26974Is Prayer any cause of Pardon?
A26974Is believing and trusting the Physitian some one single act, excluding all others?
A26974Is here any room for further disputing?
A26974Is it Christ himself that is physically received by faith?
A26974Is it a Passion?
A26974Is it a clear and profitable way of teaching to confound all these, under the general name of Covenant- breaking?
A26974Is it any danger to give less to faith then others, while I give no less to Christ?
A26974Is it fit to Dispute with such dealing as this?
A26974Is it harsh when yet you never once shew the fault of the Speech?
A26974Is it justice for you still to perswade the world that I mean some causality, though not efficiency?
A26974Is it meant they took him not in their hands, or received not his Person into their houses?
A26974Is it not a good Argument Negative, Abraham was not justified by works, therefore we are not?
A26974Is it not at all an Act therefore?
A26974Is it not safe when a man hath prerformed these conditions, to look on them either living or dying?
A26974Is it not this, whether the Gospel Righteousness be made ours, otherwise then by believing?
A26974Is it repent, and Christs Righteousness is by this made yours, and rest in Christ?
A26974Is it the Act of Faith?
A26974Is it the Habit?
A26974Is it the Name or the Thing that you mean?
A26974Is it then a meet phrase to say, that she is pardoned and dignified by loving such a Prince?
A26974Is it then any whit probable that it is Gods meaning to exclude this respect of the act from any conditionality herein?
A26974Is it true, that[ this is that in effect, which the Papists affirm in other words?]
A26974Is not Christ the Law- giver?
A26974Is not Faith ours as much Love,& c?
A26974Is not Love and Obedience part of the Condition?
A26974Is not one kind of work omitted when it s my duty, enough to invalidate my Justification?
A26974Is not this all that our Divines say, or require?
A26974Is not this as much as I say?
A26974Is not this as plain as may be?
A26974Is not this one of the Opinionists, that so far joyneth with the Socinians and Papists?
A26974Is not your Testament that gives your Legacy, because it gives conditionally?
A26974Is that man justified that believeth not in Christ as the King and Prophet of the Church?
A26974Is the Gospel that must be published among all Nations, the History only?
A26974Is the condition of her Deliverance and Pardon, the taking him only under the Notion of a Pardoner or Deliverer?
A26974Is there a further condition required to this condition?
A26974Is there any difficulty in this, or is there any doubt of it?
A26974Is there no aptitude in Christs legal Righteousness to give us life?
A26974Is this a sweet and Christian sense?
A26974Is this adding to the Scripture unjustly?
A26974Is this an Act too?
A26974It can not possibly by any one single Act or Passion which you call the passive Instrument: and do you think to find out many such?
A26974Item quomodo causarentur relationes rationis, sive intentiones logicae, quae sunt in actu collativo?
A26974Must not those Conditions be fulfilled by our selves?
A26974My last Question was, Whether now your Doctrine or mine be the more obscure, doubtfull and dangerous?
A26974Nay is it like to be the great business of that day to enquire whether Christ have done his part or no?
A26974Nay the act is but a moral act, such as a Statute or Bond acteth, and what need Faith to be a physical Instrument?
A26974None''s here so fruitfull as the Leaning Vine: And what though some be drunken with the Wine?
A26974Nonne quod dicere quoque periculosum est, sed ad adificationem proferendum est, d ● abolum Domino praeponit?
A26974Nor what Faith justifieth?
A26974Nor whether Faith justifie?
A26974Nothing to assure men of Justification by faith, but immediate communications to Believers?
A26974Now I pray you tell me whether here be not full as much as Dr. Ward or I say?
A26974Now how will they avoid Tompsons Doctrine of Intercision of that Title to Salvation, upon the committing of such sins?
A26974Now the question is, what is the condition of this womans deliverance and Dignity?
A26974Now would you perswade us that Paul excludeth this kind of Interest, or opposeth faith to it?
A26974OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification?
A26974OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification?
A26974Of a Cause?
A26974Or are there no such conditions which man must perform himself or perish?
A26974Or can any thing but the want of this personal righteousness then hazard a mans soul?
A26974Or do you think none were justified before?
A26974Or doth every weak Christian believe all the twenty Articles that you mentioned at first?
A26974Or from what Agent and Act?
A26974Or he that gives any great matter on Condition of such Receiving, Doth he mean that any one single Act is that Condition?
A26974Or is it excluded?
A26974Or is it that Repentance is conjoyned as to our first Justification, and obedience as to that at Judgement?
A26974Or is it the Intellective Reception of his species?
A26974Or is that Promise to them only that suffer for the Declarative part only?
A26974Or that believing in Christs blood for everlasting Life and happiness, should be any more called works then believing in his blood for Justification?
A26974Or that it is this or that only Act?
A26974Or the omission of many individual acts of faith?
A26974Or was it ever his intent to advance some one act of theirs?
A26974Or what do you say less then I do here?
A26974Or what m ● ● ● Paul to rejoyce in the testimony of his Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity he had his conversation?
A26974Or whether it is meerly Pati?
A26974Or whether their Being is only in the eye?
A26974Or, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the works which Paul excludeth from Justification?
A26974Or, Whether it have only Entity and Verity, or only Goodness for its Object?
A26974Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory?
A26974Our Question is, How the sense of James shall be known?
A26974Our question then is only of the nature, and reason of that necessity?
A26974Pauls Question is, What is the Righteousness which must denominate a sinner just at the Bar of the Law?
A26974Repented of all sins that must be Repented of?
A26974Reply, First, I hope you would not make the world believe that I deny it; Did I ever exclude a dying Christ from the object of justifying faith?
A26974Secondly, But what if that were so?
A26974Seeing you think( truly) that Pardon is iterated as oft as we sin, by what Transient Act of God is this done?
A26974Shall I again tell you the true ground of mens mistake( as I think) in this Point?
A26974So that it is not the natural, but the moral Truth, that is wanting: And what is that?
A26974So that it is one question to ask, Why doth Faith or Works of Obedience to Christ Justifie?
A26974Still the Question wanting in the conclusion: Who denyeth that Christ crucified is the object of justifying faith?
A26974That Readers do you expect, that will take an Assertion of Fear- Love, and Obedience, in stead of an assertion concerning Faith?
A26974That by works he means not simply good Actions, as James doth, but such as make the reward to be of debt and not of Grace?
A26974That the Church must be thus molested by such disputing volumes against it, to make the Papists and other enemies believe we hold I know not what?
A26974The Question is not whether Faith work?
A26974The conclusion never was acquainted with our Question?
A26974The fifth Question is, Whether Faith be any Instrument of our Justification?
A26974The fourth Question is, Whether other Graces may not be as properly called physical passive Instruments as Faith, is your sense?
A26974The like I may say of a Testament or Deed of Gift: But what need many words in a case where the Truth is so obvious?
A26974The question that James disputed, was, Whether men are justified by meer believing without Gospel- Obedience?
A26974The third Question is, Whether faith be passive in its instrumentality?
A26974Therefore it solely dependeth on it: And if these things were true, what are they to our question?
A26974Thirdly, The words of the Jews to John( If thou be not that Christ nor Elias, nor that Prophet, why baptizest thou?
A26974This Union is by Faith: We are united to him as to a Head, Husband and Prince, and not only as a Justifier?
A26974This is the Wills first act towards it object; and will you say that Love goes before justifying faith, and so before Justification?
A26974Thus methinks all that I desire is granted already: what Adversary could a man dream of among Protestants in such a Cause?
A26974Truly it is quite beyond my shallow capacity to reach what you here mean to be so harsh: what should I imagine?
A26974WHether Besides the Righteousness of Christ imputed, there be a personal evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation?
A26974WHether the Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul?
A26974WHether we are justified by believing in Jesus Christ as our King and Teacher, as well as by believing in his blood?
A26974WHether works are a condition of condition of Justification, and so whether we are justified by works as such a condition?
A26974Wards is to that of the Council of Tre ● t?
A26974Was it ever the less a Law or Promise, the Object of Faith, or Instrument of Justification?
A26974Was it not the Gospel which Christ and the Apostles preached?
A26974Was it only the Declaration of Christs Death, Resurrection,& c. which is the Gospel according to which mens secrets must be judged?
A26974Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the Altar?
A26974Was there no Gospel- grant then extant?
A26974Were Abrahams works in opposition to Christ?
A26974Were it not then better to perswade all people, even when they are whoring, or drunk, to trust on Christ to pardon and justifie them?
A26974Were you not comparing faith in Christ as King, with faith in Christ as Priest only?
A26974What Agreement then hath this Argument with all the rest, or with his question?
A26974What Mystical Relative Union is that which is not a Moral Union?
A26974What a pack of Arguments are here?
A26974What are the Conditions?
A26974What are therefore these two kinds of Righteousness, but contradictory to each other?
A26974What be the Deeds that you know my mind by to be contrary to my words?
A26974What doth faith thus receive?
A26974What doth it concern a sinner to be justified or condemned now before a Court of Angels, where he is not present, nor knows any thing of it?
A26974What if Faith were passive in its Instrumentality?
A26974What if I dare not do so, but give that glory to God, and not to the nature of our own act?
A26974What if the Law condemn the neglect of a Gospel duty?
A26974What is it that you call Sanctification?
A26974What is it then?
A26974What is justifying Faith?
A26974What is more obvious, then that there are many conditions in justificato, which are not in actu justificationis?
A26974What is the Terminus ad quem?
A26974What is this thing called Faith, which you make such a Proteus, to be Active and Passive as to several Objects?
A26974What more proper to the reformed Religion, as such, then to honour the Scriptures?
A26974What not the signs by which faith it self should be known, and therefore should be notiora?
A26974What real difference between the godly and the wicked, the saved and damned?
A26974What room is there for them all, without confusion, If both color, quantity, odor, and all be there?
A26974What sense would you make of it if you should interpret this and such texts as this of all moral Acts?
A26974What the Action?
A26974What the Patient or Object?
A26974What then in the whole world shall escape that censure?
A26974What then is the matter?
A26974What tolearable sense can be given of that multitude of plain Scriptures which I have cited?
A26974What''s this to the Question?
A26974What''s this to the Question?
A26974What, that Faith should be this subservient Righteousness?
A26974When Tolet disputeth utrum ixtelligere sit pati?
A26974When these plants of Hell do thrive upon us, under all our care to weed them up: what will they do when the Vineyard is left desolate?
A26974When will you prove the Consequence of this Argument?
A26974When you ask how saith Paul true?
A26974Whence?
A26974Whether Affiance, Recombency, Assurance,& c. or whether a Passion?
A26974Whether Believing be so, only verbum activum, but Physically passive?
A26974Whether Besides the Righteousness of Christ Imputed, there be a Personal Evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation?
A26974Whether Christ himself be not the object of it?
A26974Whether Faith be any proper Instrument of our Justification?
A26974Whether Good be not the object of the Will, and so Christ be not willed as Good?
A26974Whether Works are a Condition of Justification?
A26974Whether a moral?
A26974Whether faith be passive in its Instrumentality?
A26974Whether is the Condition of the species or individuums of works?
A26974Whether it be necessitas medii ad finem, as to the continuance or consummation of our Justification?
A26974Whether justifying faith be not an act of the Will as well as the Understanding?
A26974Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul?
A26974Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the soul?
A26974Whether the same may not be said as truly of other Graces?
A26974Whether they be an image or similitude begotten or caused by the Object, as Combacchius and most?
A26974Whether this or that act?
A26974Whether this willing be not the same as Loving, as love is found in the rational appetite?
A26974Whether to Believe be only verbum activ ● m?
A26974Whether we are Justified by Beliveing in Jesus Christ, as our King and Teacher; as well as by believing in his Blood?
A26974Whether you can call Affiance, or any other act of the will justifying faith, excluding this willing, or not principally including it?
A26974Whether your Opinion or mine be the plainer or safer?
A26974Which call you the good, sound definition of Faith?
A26974Which of those acts do you think goes not before Justification?
A26974Who ever said, and where, that passive Justification( yea or active) is the Gospel it self, or the sign?
A26974Who speaks more against faith, they or I?
A26974Who then gives more to works, you or I?
A26974Who will say so?
A26974Who would have thought that you had held such a point?
A26974Why do I not understand with every dull thought?
A26974Why from what they came burdened with?
A26974Why may not Christ given us ▪ justifie us as the meritorious cause, and a principal efficient; and his Gospel- grant, as his Instrument?
A26974Why may not a man know when he believeth in Christ as King and Prophet, and is his Disciple, as well as when he believeth in him as Priest?
A26974Why may not faith be a condition, as well as an Instrument of receiving the pardon of its own Imperfection?
A26974Why not Conditions as well as Instruments or Causes?
A26974Why then do you still harp upon the word[ works] as if I did give more to them?
A26974Why then should I aim at this mark?
A26974Why then we say, it is his Ransom, his love and free mercy,& c. And if the Question be, what is it in him that dignifieth her?
A26974Will any say that the Saints do no good works?
A26974Will it not be as dangerous to omit that one as all, seeing that one is required as a Condition?
A26974Will not such think they may sin salva fide?
A26974Will not the omission of Repentance for one sin invalidate it?
A26974Will you ask now[ If faith be imperfect, how comes the guilt of that Imperfection to be pardoned?
A26974Will you call to any judicious Reader, to tell you that which I particularly exprest to you?
A26974Will you not maintain it against a Papist when you are returned to your former temper?
A26974Will you not produce your faith and repentance for your Justification against this charge, and so to prove your Interest in Christ?
A26974Will you say, not by the words, but by the sense?
A26974Will you thence infer that none are justified till death?
A26974Will you therefore conclude that the Moral Agency or Efficiency of these Laws is past, and therefore they do not condemn or justifie?
A26974Would you have us say more of them, or less?
A26974Ye will not come to me that ye may have life: How oft would I, and ye would not?
A26974Yea and whether there be any such thing?
A26974Yea how great a controversie is it what the sensible and intelligible species are?
A26974Yea is it not a notorious truth, that it is quite another thing which the Papists affirm in somewhat like words?
A26974Yea what a dangerous loss will Christians then be at, who will hardly ever be able to find out this single Act, what it is and when they have it?
A26974Yea when the rest are acknowledged to be part of the Condition?
A26974Yea who doubteth but he might have given them without any condition, even that of acceptance?
A26974Yea, Why do the best Divines preach so much against Presumption?
A26974Yet in the places cited, who knows not the same word hath different senses?
A26974You ask, Were Abrahams works in opposition to that,& c?
A26974You ask[ Is it repent, and Christs righteousness by this is made yours?]
A26974You confess that by ungodly, is meant such, though Regenerate and holy, that have not an adequate holiness: Adequate; To what?
A26974You demand,[ Will you exclude his Obedience, Resurrection, intercession]?
A26974You here ask me,[ Whether I think you deny a godly life to be a comfortable Testimony, or necessary qualification of a man for pardon?]
A26974You know by Justification they mean principally Sanctification?
A26974You reply, If there be justifying works, how saith Paul true?
A26974You say the question is,[ Whether the Gospel righteousness be made ours otherwise then by believing?]
A26974You say, how then saith James true?
A26974Your conclusion now is nothing to the Question?
A26974[ For if Faith( say you) justifie as a work] But who saith it doth justifie as a work?
A26974[ He that spared not his own son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?]
A26974[ Repent and be baptized( saith Peter) for the remission of sin; Of what sin?
A26974[ The true meaning( saith he) of the Question[ whether we are justified by Faith or by Works?]
A26974[ What doth God require of us, that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin?
A26974[ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A26974[ can faith save him?]
A26974and 10 29?
A26974and all because he would not deny either Christ or Faith?
A26974and excuse not Infidels from the guilt of Rebellion against the Redeemer?
A26974and have limited our justification to any one act?
A26974and how called?
A26974and how can they know that, when they know not what justifying saith is?
A26974and how can they know that, who know not whether they have faith?
A26974and how can they know what it is, when it is by Divines involved in such a cloud and maze of difficulties?
A26974and how we receive Christ, as a man takes a gift in his hand?
A26974and instead of the act we are now set to enquire after the passion?
A26974and is that positive or vehement affirming it?
A26974and not as qualifying?
A26974and saith, God giveth to will,( that is, to believe) and to do,& c. that all this is meant of meer Passion?
A26974and should dream of such perfection short of heaven, the place of our perfection?
A26974and so actively justifie us?
A26974and so another to that with a processus in infinitum?
A26974and so is Evangelically righteous?
A26974and such a Love as is distinct from justifying faith as being no part of it?
A26974and that it is of aequal difficulty upon your own and others opinion, as upon mine?
A26974and the King?
A26974and the very same?
A26974and what is that?
A26974and whether it be not the plain and frequent speech of Scripture?
A26974and why hath it not been discovered unto the world?
A26974and will there be joy in heaven for reducing a man from such an opinion?
A26974and yet meerly Recipient?
A26974are not those acts conditions?
A26974believed all necessary Truths?
A26974but what of that?
A26974by him performed?
A26974de Dieu, Bucer, Calvin, Zanchy?
A26974especially least they should yield to universal Redemption in any kind?
A26974except Mr. Pemble and a very few that with him make Sanctification and Vocation to be all one?
A26974from what?
A26974if not guilty: then what need of Pardon, of daily praying Forgive us our Debts, or of a Christ to procure our Pardon?
A26974if so; then doth not faith justifie directly, as the condition of the Gift, Promise, or new Covenant?
A26974is any excepted to the Penitent Believer?
A26974is it by a further condition, and so in infinitum?]
A26974is there any danger in it?
A26974is there any danger in this?
A26974it is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth?
A26974no deed of Gift of Christ and his Righteousness to all that should believe?
A26974nor his Intercession,( for who shall condemn us?
A26974of that gift?
A26974or do you think the difference to be of no moment?
A26974or doth Scripture tell you?
A26974or doth it signifie any one act?
A26974or else that they do such good works as make the Reward to be not of Grace but of debt?
A26974or is it only a condition without which he will not cure them?
A26974or of another gift?
A26974or of such sins as Davids, before Repentance?
A26974or rather to advance the Lord Jesus whom faith Receiveth?
A26974or shall any be saved that saith,[ I did not repent or believe, but Christ did for me?]
A26974or should I be spoke against for the Doctrine of obedience, as if I gave more to man then you, when I give so much less?
A26974or that ever such a thing can be proved?
A26974or that there is no condemnation to him, though he know not that he is in Christ, and walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit?
A26974or the act of any one single faculty that the people of the land must perform?
A26974or to see through all the difficulties that I have discovered here in your Doctrine?
A26974or to the constitution of the condition in the Gospel?
A26974or what proof is there from Scripture for this?
A26974or yet to enquire, whether the world were sinners?
A26974or yet, that he hath commanded us in the Gospel, so to work that the Reward may not be of grace, but debt?
A26974that every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bird, Stone,& c. and other bodies, have their several distinct species in the Air night and day?
A26974that is to bring Christ down from above: or who shall descend into the deep?
A26974that is to bring up Christ again from the dead: But what saith it?
A26974that we deny even to all: Of a Condition?
A26974that[ If thou confess with thy mouth, and believe in thy heart,& c.] that[ If] is a conjunction conditional?
A26974the Trusting to Christ for Pardon and Salvation only, without taking him for their King and Prophet?
A26974the satisfaction of a surety?
A26974to justifie?
A26974to note[ what in Christ received doth justifie] rather then[ what respect of our act of faith is the condition?]
A26974to the Law?
A26974what is the danger?
A26974what need any more then to be said of it?
A26974when I say, that[ all that I have to do with, grant the Antecedent] and what''s that to the question in hand?
A26974whether Assent only, or Affiance?
A26974whether they can be the Subjects of Passion; and so be passive Acts?
A26974which yet because it is no way made ours but by believing, therefore he so puts the Question, whether by works of the Law, or by faith?
A26974why by its fruits and concomitants, and that we take Christ for Lord as well as Saviour, or to save us from the power of sin as well as the guilt?
A26974why is not the willingness he should raign, part of saving, justifying faith?
A26974why then if you be so tender, who may deal with you?
A26974with most do affirm?
A26974would not men think that learning made them dote?
A26974yea and what Law shall condemn them, if the Law of Works justifie them?
A26974yea deny this to the Gospel it self?
A26974— But the Righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven?
A26974— For where was any Legal Righteousness of the good thief on the Cross, condemned for legal unrighteousness?
A29752& are the Reprobate his brethen?
A29752& c. God forbid, how shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A29752& if it be not a justification, how can they be hereby formally justified,& constitutively justified?
A29752& in thy name have cast out devils?
A29752& in thy name have done many wonderful works?
A29752& of Iustification, how not?
A29752& prove it too, in the following vers?
A29752& should he not be justified upon the account thereof solely?
A29752& upon many such like, if all these words must be taken properly?
A29752& was not that child& Son a person?
A29752& what can this Imputed Righteousness be: if it be not the Righteousness of Christ?
A29752& what is meaned by this gift?
A29752( 1) But our Principal difficulty here is to understand, what Mr. Baxter meaneth by the Iewish Law?
A29752( 1) Will he not distinguish betwixt having of these benefites in Title or Right,& having them in possession?
A29752( 2) As for our sense of this Expression, who, that will willingly be ruled by the Scriptures, can not submit unto it?
A29752( 2) If Christ did not bear the sentence or Curse of the Law, how could he be said to have died or suffered in our place, room or stead?
A29752( 2) Paul also renunceth his Righteousness in this matter,& that several times?
A29752( 2) What is that Righteousness, which is here said to be procured, or derived upon a Man by faith?
A29752( 2) When God gave Adam these Abilities, and thereby furnished him with a sufficient stock; was he not to acknowledge God for all that he did?
A29752( 2) Where are Christs meer Sufferings, as distinguished from His obedience, called a righteousness?
A29752( 2) Where findeth Mr. Baxter these restrictions, Merely or Primarily, in all the Apostles disput?
A29752( 2) Where readeth he of Faith in Christ( in order to justification) as our Teacher, or Ruler or Justifying judge, or justifying Sacrifice?
A29752( 2) Why brought he in the Instance of Abraham, who was before the Law of Moses?
A29752( 3) If Christ had only been the material cause, as having that virtus effectiva, how could He be called their federal Head?
A29752( 3) Why should they be called the Righteousness of God, according to this Interpretation?
A29752( 3) did only the Law of Ceremonies give the knowledge of sin?
A29752( 4) He talks of the rare use of such a phrase in Scripture; but I would know, where he findeth it used at all iu Scripture?
A29752( 4) did the curse only belong unto the Ceremonial Law?
A29752( saith he) And is not gratitude an end,& a thing commanded by the Law?
A29752- Christ died for the ungodly: was this for all?
A2975210. is there any appearance of the exception of any one sin?
A2975210: 10. that with the heart man beleeveth unto righteousness, must not this Righteousness be something distinct from beleeving?
A2975210: 3, 4, 9, 27. only proveth, that Christ''s sheep know& hear his voice: And who denieth this?
A2975211, 12. what intimation is given of an exception of any?
A2975217?
A297521: 16, 17?
A297521: 30?
A297521: 4. why did the Lord Jesus give himself for our sinnes?
A297521: 7. we have redemption in his blood: what Redemption?
A2975221?
A2975226: 28. are not all these sins pardoned virtually& fundamently?
A297522: 14. did he not purchase Faith, without which we can not be such?
A297522: 17?
A297522: 8?
A297523. last Do we then make void the Law through faith?
A297523: 10- 20?
A297523: 21. and not in our Place& Stead?
A297523: 25. if the word Faith should be there taken properly,& not for its object?
A297523: 26?
A297523: 5, 6. have we not Faith also through him?
A297523: 9. meaned, by his own righteouness, only such works, as he expresly accounted meritorious?
A297523: 9?
A297523: 9?
A297523: 9?
A297523?
A2975242: 6. if he had a righteousness within him,& had been justified by the Lord, upon the account of that inherent righteousness?
A297524?
A297524?
A297525. he was wounded for our transgressions,& c. and what followeth upon this Impetration?
A297525: 19. what then will they say to this?
A297525: 21?
A297525: 31?
A297527: 26?
A297528, 9. was given to him, not as Mediator, but for himself, as an humble, obedient man?
A297528: 30. Who shall then lay any thing to the charge of God''s Elect?
A297528: 33. restricteth both equally unto the Elect: who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect?
A297529: 14, 18,& all to purchase a meer Possibility; or a meer Possible Redemption?
A297529: 24 Doth our act of beleeving last for ever?
A297529: 31, 32. that Israel, which followed after the Law of righteousness, did not attaine to the Law of righteo ● sness; Wherefore?
A29752Adae peccatum imputabitur mihi,& Christi justitia non pertinebit ad me?
A29752Againe, if Justice be satisfied for these others, why are they not liberat?
A29752Againe, what though the word had that Import here?
A29752An peccatum in semine peccatoris,& non justitia in sanguine Christi?
A29752And I would ask, what for a Righteousness this pardon of sins is?
A29752And againe I would enquire, what Righteousness hath it merited unto us?
A29752And againe I would enquire, whether this Justification be accompanied with pardon of sin,& with Right to Christ& to glory, or not?
A29752And are we not all agreed of all this?
A29752And at what cost, paines& charges are they, in seeking to establish their own Righteousness?
A29752And can any reason evince, that the Lord can not conferre& bestow, in the grand privilege of justification, moe particular favoures than one?
A29752And did ever any meane otherwise, when they spoke of faith as an Instrument, or mean?
A29752And did not the Father accept of what he did& suffered, as a full Compensation,& Satisfaction?
A29752And doth he not also tell us, that this would make the reward to be reckoned not of grace, but of debt vers 4?
A29752And for what end?
A29752And further, it doth hereby appear, that all which is procured, is but some power to God& to Christ; But what is mans advantage?
A29752And further, what was this power?
A29752And had not Paul as good ground, as any, to assert his justification by his personal inherent holiness& righteousness?
A29752And how can his death be a price of Redemption for the rest?
A29752And how can we say, that God did intend the Redemption of all, when all are not actually Redeemed?
A29752And how can 〈 ◊ 〉 pardon cause this transformation?
A29752And how could they be punished for that same guilt, if it was not some way theirs, by the just& righteous Judge& Governour of the world?
A29752And how is that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 o ● Righteousness fulfilled?
A29752And how is the opposition here observed, betwixt Christs being made sin,& their being made the Righteousness of God in Him?
A29752And how sweetly will their hearts acquiesce in this Sure and Saife way of obtaining life?
A29752And how would they hereby glorify God in the world?
A29752And how 〈 ◊ 〉 we think, that He should purchase a Pardon to all, and let the event hang upon the pendulous tottering will of a sinfull creature?
A29752And how, I pray, can this besaid to be procured or derived upon a man by faith?
A29752And if not, where is the consequence of the Apostles argueing from his practice?
A29752And if we enquire, what this was, which Abraham did beleeve?
A29752And in our case, I would require, what he will account Essential?
A29752And is Faith Christ?
A29752And is all this nothing but a General Common thing, that can not save one soul, if Lord Freewil do not consent, of his own accord?
A29752And is it not saifest to keep far from such a dangerous precipice?
A29752And is it not strange, that Paul never once made mention of this distinction?
A29752And it is as improper to say, that pardon justifieth: Let him tell me, how holiness with pardon can justifie?
A29752And may not a person be as well said to be Imputed, as given, seing imputation, upon the matter, is nothing but a giving, or bestowing?
A29752And not also, when the same punishment, in all its essential ingredients, is undergone& suffered by another?
A29752And of the Reprobat, for whom he was not to purchase thereby?
A29752And shall we imagine, that He shall be a Redeemer& Deliverer, and yet no man Redeemed or delivered?
A29752And shall we think, that the effect of all this Non- such Love, both of the Father,& of the Son, was only a Possible Salvation, and Redemption?
A29752And should not this Righteousness, if his beleeving had been it, been of the Law?
A29752And that if our father Abraham were justified by works, he should have had, whereof to glory, though not before God vers 2?
A29752And then why may not both be imputed unto them?
A29752And then, what need it be said, that the State of Justification is continued upon such termes?
A29752And was He not made of a woman, given and born to us?
A29752And was He not obliged to both, as Surety, in room& place?
A29752And was he more obliged unto the Atonement of Christ, than others, who did violate of new these Conditions?
A29752And was not Adam before the fall also bound unto gratitude?
A29752And was not His death& Sufferings also subservient unto this great end?
A29752And what a wonderful Grace is this, that is here manifested?
A29752And what be these?
A29752And what by this meanes hath Christs Propitiatory Sacrifice obtained more, than a meer possibility of salvation, to either one or other?
A29752And what can else be said by such, as make this the whole of what Christ did purchase?
A29752And what errour I pray, or heresie is it, that doth not pretend to the like?
A29752And what for a cause shall we take that, causa sine qua non to be?
A29752And what giveth he for the ground of this?
A29752And what imaginable colour can be from any thing that the Apostle spoke, in the foregoing words, for such an objection, as this?
A29752And what is all this to the purpose?
A29752And what is there here peculiar unto Christ, as Lord Mediator, seing the lives of other Saints are also exemplary?
A29752And what lawyer, I pray, will yeeld to this reason?
A29752And what then?
A29752And what then?
A29752And what then?
A29752And what was it, that they did?
A29752And what would he hence inferre?
A29752And what would he make of Christ?
A29752And where do we read, that all were given unto him to redeem?
A29752And where is then the truth of this axiome?
A29752And wherefore is all this?
A29752And whereunto is that Call?
A29752And who can express the good and sweet of this life?
A29752And who can express what a life this is?
A29752And who doubts 〈 ◊ 〉 the perfection of this, that acknowledgeth the perfection of the Law?
A29752And who knoweth not, that Self can wax proud,& be puffed up, upon a smaller occasion, than is this?
A29752And who may not see the folly of this Reddition, to inferre this from the Lord''s calling Iohn Baptist Elias& the like?
A29752And who, I pray, more guilty of troubling the world with these contendings, than he?
A29752And whose Righteousness else can this be, if it be not Christ''s?
A29752And why is not His obeying also added?
A29752And why may we not say, that He obeyed in the juridical and Law person of a sinner, as well as that He suffered?
A29752And why not also an Universal Salvation conditional?
A29752And why not also by their works of Obedience?
A29752And why not also, if faith be now accounted the fulfilling of the Law, and be now imputed to us, as all our Righteousness?
A29752And why not?
A29752And why saith he not so of the Apostle Paul also?
A29752And why should it then be simply,& without limitation, said that Christ died for all Conditionally?
A29752And why so?
A29752And why so?
A29752And why would the Father send him to die for such?
A29752And why, may we enquire, would the Apostle so laboriously prove both Iewes& Gentiles to be guilty of sin?
A29752And will not Papists, Socinians& Arminians yeeld unto this Imputation: Nay doth not Bellarmine come a further length, in the words formerly cited?
A29752And will not all Socinians grant, that Christ Suffered thus in our stead, that is, in our Nature?
A29752Answere him againe, by asking, how came the world to be condemned by the disobedience of one Adam?
A29752Are herein comprehended all commanded duties?
A29752Are his intentions so fallible, and frustrable?
A29752Are only regenerat persons said to be under the Law?
A29752As the beginning of justification is so contrived, as all boasting is taken away, so must the Continnance thereof be conceived to be?
A29752But I wonder how did the Apostle by his doctrine establish the Ceremonial Law?
A29752But Israel, which followed after the law of Righteousness, hath not attained to the law of Righteousness; wherefore?
A29752But did Paul meane nothing but his consciencious observance of this Law, when he said, I have lived in all good conscience to this day?
A29752But do not many both in sermons& in writtings, even when speaking of Pardon& of justification, joyn Repentance with faith?
A29752But do we say, That pardon taketh away the Reatus culpae, in it self?
A29752But doth he think, that Abraham, or David had any such apprehensions?
A29752But how absurd is it to think or say, that the Beleever hath no more to do with Christ''s Righteousness?
A29752But how can he come, who hath no power to Beleeve or Repent, without grace?
A29752But how proveth this man, what he here alledgeth?
A29752But how shall this sense of the words make them a proof or confirmation of what was said in the former verse?
A29752But how was this work of Salvation begun?
A29752But if the act of obedience in His death, include these, why not His whole state of humiliation?
A29752But it will be said, How then is Christ received by faith, as a King?
A29752But may they for all that perish?
A29752But moreover, where is our Righteousness?
A29752But next, what meaneth Mr. Baxter by this jus actuale?
A29752But now as to works, whereof both make mentione, the question remaineth, whether they be one& the same?
A29752But now, how will this agree with Universal Redemption?
A29752But now, what doth Iames direct us to by the word Faith, which he mentioneth?
A29752But now, what question handleth Iames?
A29752But of what import could that Possible Call be, if Salvation was not also possible unto them?
A29752But seing He was made sin for us,& so died in our room& stead, why may He not be said to have died in our Law- person?
A29752But surder, what of all this?
A29752But the Question is, whether Repentance be a proper Condition of Pardon of sins, committed after Justification: or not?
A29752But then, what need is there of Remission?
A29752But though it be a truth, that justifying faith is a working lively faith?
A29752But was this all?
A29752But what Law is this, by which, he denieth, that any can be justified?
A29752But what Righteousness is or can be in a Law, but what is there, by way of prescription?
A29752But what Scripture doth teach us this?
A29752But what answereth Mr. Baxter?
A29752But what answereth he?
A29752But what answereth he?
A29752But what can he hence inferre for confirmation of the Minor?
A29752But what desperat shifts will not a wrong cause put men to use, who will not be truths captives?
A29752But what doth Mr. Baxter mean by God''s Covenant?
A29752But what ground is there for this in the Text, or context?
A29752But what if ourselves, in our own natural persons, had undergone the penalty, had we therefore ipso facto attained a perfect deliverance?
A29752But what if this be his mistake?
A29752But what is a Potential Right?
A29752But what is all this to the point?
A29752But what is that Righteousness in the law?
A29752But what is that, to accept the gift, as it is?
A29752But what is the meaning of this?
A29752But what is this Faith?
A29752But what is this to the business in hand?
A29752But what is this to the matter?
A29752But what is this?
A29752But what palpable& manifest perverting of the Scripture& of the works thereof, is this?
A29752But what saith all this to the purpose now in hand?
A29752But what then?
A29752But where findeth he this, either asserted, or granted by the Apostle, or the Question thus stated by the Apostle?
A29752But who can tell us, what that proportion, or that sort would have been?
A29752But who seeth not, how this is to set up proud Man, whom Paul would have debased& kept down?
A29752But who speak of such an Imputation of Sanctification?
A29752But why could not this Love effectuat the good of all?
A29752But why is not vers 30. mentioned?
A29752But why, I pray, if this belong not to the object of justifying faith?
A29752But why?
A29752But you will ask of me, if I think, that Christ did die for final unbeleefe?
A29752But you will say, if we be perfectly righteous by the Imputation of Christs righteousness, what need have we of any more?
A29752By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many, this Justification is the Application;& whence cometh it?
A29752By what Law?
A29752By what law?
A29752Can God be said to be, upon the death of Christ, Reconciled to all, when it may so fall out, that not one soul shall have peace with God?
A29752Can He not both free the beleever from the condemnation of hell,& adjudge him to the life of glory?
A29752Can He not both pardon sins,& accept as,& declare to be Righteous?
A29752Can a man be changed into a Law?
A29752Can any thing; which they themselves can do, yeeld more ground of Peace& Confidence?
A29752Can faith be said to be revealed from it self,& to it self?
A29752Can the Law require more than absolute perfection?
A29752Can their sinnes be said to be purged, who pine a way in hell for ever, because of their sinnes?
A29752Christ suffered for sins, the just for the unjust: To what end and purpose?
A29752Could Adam do more in sin, than Christ in good?
A29752Did Christ fail in laying down the Ransome?
A29752Did Christ know, whether or not this condition would be performed?
A29752Did ever man before acknowledg faith, to justifie instrumentally,& yet deny the Imputation of the Righteousness of Christ, as he doth?
A29752Did he procure Grace unto them, to obey it?
A29752Did he purchase Faith to these few; and would he not purchase Faith to the rest,& yet lay downe the great price for them?
A29752Did it binde him( saith he againe) both to obey& suffer for his new sin, the next Instant?
A29752Did not Christ do& suffer all, which he undertook to do,& suffer for this end?
A29752Did not Christ make Reconciliation for the sinnes of his people?
A29752Did the blood of buls& goats so sanctify, as to the purifying of the flesh, as to leave the most defileing spot of all untaken away?
A29752Do all the world belong to his peculiar people?
A29752Do the Apostles Mediums only serve to prove, that justification is not by the Law Meerly or Primarily?
A29752Do these words carry this sense, where ever they are used?
A29752Do they mean( saith he further) that the Law bound man both to perfection,& to suffering for perfection, or to suffering for sin?
A29752Do we not hear, that a childe was born to us,& a Son was given to us?
A29752Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A29752Do we then make void the Law, through faith?
A29752Doth he think, that we make Christ such a Surety, as agreeth in all things with every Surety, among men?
A29752Doth not an interest in the Merites, procureing any thing, include an interest in the thing Merited?
A29752Doth this admit of exceptions, and of such an exception, as would unavoidably make all null?
A29752Either the Lord knew, that some would get good by this fruite of wonderful love, or not?
A29752Even when we know nothing by ourselves, yet are we not hereby justified?
A29752For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God?
A29752For by grace are ye saved through faith: and how was this?
A29752Further, why may not his faith, denote the object of his faith, as our hope, or our love may denote the object of our hope& love?
A29752Had we no other Interest, or ground of Interest in it, or in Him, but that it was performed in our Nature?
A29752Haud Dei justitia magis ad condemn ● ndum, quam ad restaurandum valuit?
A29752Having thus dispatched the second particular, we come unto the Third; to wit, to enquire, whether perseverance be a Condition of Justification?
A29752He addeth, But what man is he, that sinneth not?
A29752He died for all: But for what end and purpose?
A29752He is called the Vine stock,& shall he have no Brancnes?
A29752He querieth againe, did the Law binde Adam, to obey& suffer, before he sinned?
A29752He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all: how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
A29752He that spared not his owne Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall not with him also freely give us all things?
A29752Heb: 13: 12. wherefore did Jesus suffer without the gate?
A29752Hope savingly in God, yeeld Christian Obedience to all the commands of God, without God''s Predetermining motion upon his heart?
A29752How Faith is and may be called an Instrument?
A29752How absurd is it to imagine this?
A29752How absurd is it to say, a thing is Impetrated or Obtained, and yet may, or may not be Bestowed; may be Possessed, or not Possessed?
A29752How came Paul''s righteousness to be his, and so one accident to go from subject to subject?
A29752How came this to passe?
A29752How can Christ be said to satisfie for the rest?
A29752How can Faith be the Righteousness of God, which is by faith?
A29752How can He be said, to have fulfilled all the Law for us, that did not fulfill it to all due ends?
A29752How can any part of the curse work for us a far more exceeding& eternal weight of glory?
A29752How can this be a proof of what was said vers 3. foregoing?
A29752How can this be the end of Christ''s condemning sin in the flesh, as himself said it was, Except 2?
A29752How can ye thus prepare the way to return, and lead your followers back again unto Babylon?
A29752How come they to be under grace,& not under the law?
A29752How cometh it to passe, that many, whose Reconciliation Christ hath purchased, live& die enemies to God?
A29752How could Christ''s blood purge us from all sin, if it were not the Cause of our Righteousness?
A29752How could healing come by his stripes, if he bear but part of our sins, in his body on the tree, seing final unbeleef alone would mar all?
A29752How far then is he active?
A29752How is the Drooping, Sincking, Dead and discouraged Soul, that hath any sense or feeling of this, revived& quickened?
A29752How many fig- leaves do they sowe together, that they may cover the shame of their nakedness withall?
A29752How many subterfuges finde they out, under which they think to shelter themselves from the wrath of God?
A29752How oft is the word Hop put for its object, for the thing hoped for?
A29752How oft is the word Law taken for obedience to the Law?
A29752How proveth he this?
A29752How shall then the new Covenant of Grace be distinguished in specie from the Covenant of Works, made with Adam?
A29752How then was it an Absolute Price?
A29752How unreasonable is it to imagine such a bargane betwixt the Father and the Son, as among men, considering what they are doing, can have no place?
A29752How unreasonable is it to think, that Christ would refuise to Pray for such, whom he loved so dearly, as to lay down his life for?
A29752How unreasonable is it, that such should have right to the Merites, that have no right to the thing Merited?
A29752How will all this shine forth unto them with a heavenly Lustre and Majestie?
A29752If Christ Intercede not for the same persons, for whom he died, we ask for whom he Intercedeth?
A29752If Justification be continued upon Condition of works, we enquire what these works are?
A29752If a Surety be put in prison for the debtor, may he not be said to suffer in the debtor''s Law- place,& in his person in Law- sense?
A29752If a pledge, or hostage, suffer for those he standeth for, may not he be said to suffer in their Law- person?
A29752If he did not undergoe the very punishment; that was due to us, because of sin?
A29752If he died for all the rest of the sinnes of the Reprobat, and of the whole world, why not for that also?
A29752If he had meaned Faith, had not that been his own Righteousness?
A29752If it be enquired, whence doth this proceed?
A29752If it be no Righteousn ● ss, why do they falsly say, that we must cast away our Righteousness?
A29752If it be not purchased by Christ, how come we by it?
A29752If it be thus, how could he then say before, that faith was the principal part of the Condition?
A29752If it was to have an Effect, what was that?
A29752If not, how can it be called a justification?
A29752If not, why are not all these ends attained, in all, for whom he died?
A29752If so, I enquire, what is that Righteousness?
A29752If the first, why would he send his Son to die,& why would Christ come to die for such, as they saw would never have a will to be saved by his death?
A29752If this were understood of Sanctification, why are these words added, who walk not after the flesh, bue after the Spirit?
A29752If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities; ô Lord, who shall stand?
A29752If yea, why doth he adde works more than Paul doth?
A29752Is Faith a mean to it self?
A29752Is God Reconciled to all, when many perish under his wrath, for ever?
A29752Is He at peace with them, and should they have jealous thoughts of him?
A29752Is He reconciled unto them, and should they carry, as keeping up some grudge against Him?
A29752Is Regeneration only brought about by assistance?
A29752Is a meer possible Redemption to be called an eternal Redemption?
A29752Is all the world purified& made zealous of good works?
A29752Is all this a Common thing, and a meer may be, or Possibility?
A29752Is it because the matter is there too clearly hold forth?
A29752Is it for actuall beleevers?
A29752Is it in this, that we say, Remission of sin; is, at most, but part of justification?
A29752Is it in this, that we say, a man may be forgiven, and yet not reputed one, who never broke the Law?
A29752Is it not also hence undeniable, that hereby there is a proportion acknowledged, in some sort, betwixt Faith& the Reward?
A29752Is it not sick of the same discemper of weakness with other graces?
A29752Is it the Righteousness of Christ?
A29752Is it the Righteousness of men themselves?
A29752Is it the Righteousness of our own works?
A29752Is it the same with a remote right?
A29752Is it to be feared that that one shall not serve two?
A29752Is not final unbeleef a dead work?
A29752Is not gratitude an end required in the Law of Innocency?
A29752Is not our Faith called our owne?
A29752Is not that beleeving made our Righteousness,& thereby declared to be no less meritorious, than Adam''s perfect Obedience would have been?
A29752Is not the man purely passive, in the receiving of the effect of that creating act, or in the work of Regeneration?
A29752Is not this to be understood, in respect of their own personal deeds& works?
A29752Is that the single Act of faith?
A29752Is there any other that will do our business?
A29752Is there any third competitour here imaginable?
A29752Is this a meer Possibility?
A29752Is this any conformity to a Law, in whole, or in part?
A29752Is this consonant to justice?
A29752Is this the meaning thereof, that Christ''s sufferings hath merited a Righteousness to us?
A29752Is this the same with jus in re, as opposed to jus ad rem?
A29752Is works the same with conceite of merite, or with works having this conceite adjointed?
A29752It is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth?
A29752It is excluded by what Law?
A29752It must be that, sure, the contrary whereof is inconsistent with a Justified state: and what can this be, but a total Apostasie?
A29752It were saifer then, in my apprehension, to enquire how or what way is this State& Relation continued?
A29752Iustification is by Faith, what this Faith is?
A29752Knoweth not Mr. Baxter that some can turn the grace of God into lasciviousness?
A29752May it serve him, that we speak, as Paul did?
A29752May we not pray for Faith; and can we pray for any thing,& not in Christ''s name?
A29752Meaneth he nothing but their observance of the Ceremonial Law?
A29752Moreover as to that Condition, whether did Christ purchase it, or not?
A29752Moreover, how could Faith be said to be through Faith?
A29752Much more, if they be brought the length, to go about some religious duties, how will they then sit down& sing, as if all were well?
A29752Must there not be many lives in this one?
A29752Must therefore the mountains be removed for them?
A29752Must we thus ascribe such intentions to God, as must hang upon mans will,& be subordinate thereunto?
A29752Must we thus, on so small occasions, plead so stoutly for man,& pretend to plead for God too?
A29752My Brethren, how think ye to mingle the Law with the Gospel?
A29752Nay, how little of this whole matter of Justification is expressed to us, without Trops& figures?
A29752Need they, who are dead, no more but Assistance?
A29752Nor is the Question, whether Repentance be a Condition of the Covenant, or not?
A29752Nor is the Question, whether the Lord call for Repentance as a duty, at the hands of such as either are to be Justified, or are already Justified?
A29752Not of works; why?
A29752Not so: can not God pardon sin upon a valuable Merite,& Satisfaction of a Mediator?
A29752Now is he an actual King, and shall have none but potential Subjects?
A29752Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say?
A29752Now to him, that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt?
A29752Now, how will Mr. Baxter prove that the suffering of the Idem, is only, when it is supplicium ipsius delinquentis?
A29752Now, who seeth not, that the Imputation of a perfect righteousness hath other strength& vertue, then that hath which is personal& Imperfect?
A29752Nunquid justitias meas?
A29752Nunquid verendum, ne non una duobus sufficiat?
A29752Object is, How can God accept him, as just, who is really& reputedly a sinner?
A29752Of works?
A29752One mans sin hath wrought death unto all,& shall the Righteousness of one restore life only to one?
A29752One thing I would ask: How Mr. Baxter came to know, that such, as he opposeth here, were proudly conceited of their own goodness?
A29752Or can it be demonstrated, that they carry this express sense any where?
A29752Or doth not the Father keep condition?
A29752Or had he it so, and for such an end, as none might possibly be the better thereof?
A29752Or if he see, that the Condition will never be performed, how can we think, that he intendeth any thing upon a Condition, that shall never be?
A29752Or is all this meer may be, which may not be?
A29752Or is faith according to no Law?
A29752Or is it in corrupt mans power to Beleeve or Repent?
A29752Or is the meaning this, That through Christ''s merites& sufferings, we have a Righteousness, which is meritorious?
A29752Or that God hath Conditional Intentions& Designes?
A29752Or that he could, or did account any of his works such?
A29752Or that he would do the most for them, For whom he would not do the least?
A29752Or to what other end should God intended that Christ should die for all, than to the ends mentioned in Scripture, of which we have spoken?
A29752Or was it to have an uncertaine End& effect?
A29752Or was this purchased equally for all?
A29752Or what was purchased thereby?
A29752Or where is its pertinency to our purpose?
A29752Or why will he not say, that He obeyed for us, that we, who could not obey of our selves, might be repute to have obeyed perfectly in Him?
A29752Pet, 1: 3?
A29752Quid enim aliud peccata nostra potuit tegere, quam ejus justitia?
A29752Quid namque ex se agere poterat, ut semel amissam justitiam recuperaret homo, servus peccati, vinctus diaboli?
A29752Shall Adam''s sin be imputed unto me,& shall not Christ''s Righteousness belong unto me?
A29752Shall Christ be beholden to mans good will for the purchase he made, at so dear a rate?
A29752Shall God''s Righteousness be more powerfull to condemne, than to restore?
A29752Shall Paul''s directing our thoughts to Christ beleeved in, exclude works, and Iames''s directing our thoughts the same way include them?
A29752Shall he be a King without a Kingdom?
A29752Shall not the curse, or a part of the curse, separat from the Love of God, and of Christ?
A29752Shall not they then be beholden to Christ, only in part?
A29752Shall one imperfect Act of obedience be of more value, than the Full and perfect obedience of Christ?
A29752Shall tribulation, or persecution, or distress, or famine, or nakedness, or perill, or sword?
A29752Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A29752Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A29752Shall we have so meane& low an account of the ordinances& appointments of God, in reference to spiritual ends?
A29752Shall we imagine that that is the greatest love, which is common to all,& is not able to effectuate the salvation of those upon whom it is set?
A29752Shall we imagine, that God designeth good to persons, who shall never enjoy it?
A29752Shall we impute such jejune& insipide expressions to Paul, or rather to the Spirit of God speaking in& by Paul?
A29752Shall we sin, that grace may abound?
A29752Shall we suppose, that all this was about an Uncertane Bargane?
A29752Shall we then say, that therefore his death was not to make Satisfaction for the sins of his own?
A29752Shall we think that He, who was God, was not a fit enoug Sacrifice for the world; but that He must be made fit and prepared by acts of obedience?
A29752Shall we think that he would lay down his life in vaine,& make no purchase thereby?
A29752Shall we think, that Abraham that holy Patriarch& friend of God, did obey with any such conceite of intrinsick worth, in his obedience?
A29752Shall we think, that Christ became sin, as well, or as much, for Iudas, as for Peter?
A29752Shall we think, that Christ would lay down as great a ransome for such, as he was not to purchase faith unto, as for the rest?
A29752Shall we think, that He redeemed all alike from the Curse of the Law?
A29752Shall we think, that he was given& sent for a Saviour, and took upon him that title& relation, and notwithstanding no man might be saved?
A29752Shall we think, that the Apostles words have but this sense, That faith is unto& upon them, that have faith; or that faith is imputed by faith?
A29752Shall we think, that the Righteous judge shall pronounce& declare him to be Righteous, who is not so?
A29752Shall we thinks, that Christ might have died,& yet one man receive this Adoption?
A29752Shasl not they be in part Satisfiers for themselves?
A29752Should be one that justifieth the Ungodly?
A29752Should not the thoughts of this raise their wondering,& cause them speak to the commendation of the rich and free grace of God?
A29752Should not therefore such carry, as persons that can not be made miserable?
A29752Should we give our first born for our transgression& the fruit of our body, for the sin of our Soul: What would that avail?
A29752So that the question betwixt him and us, is, whether Christ and His obedience, or Faith of a far inferiour Nature, must have that honour?
A29752That he did not make void the law through faith, but did establish it?
A29752That none of us should ever be put to suffer the penalty?
A29752That the Question is not, whether the doctrine of Papists about Repentance in order to Justification, be to be owned, in whole, or in part?
A29752That this may be part of the meaning, may very easily be granted:& what then can hence follow?
A29752The Question then, that we have to discuss, is, Upon what termes& Conditions is this State continued?
A29752The question is not, whether we should have good in us, or not?
A29752Then He hath merited, that our works shall merite justification;& why not also glorification?
A29752Then we ask a Scripture ground for this restriction?
A29752Therefore& c. Who seeth not now, how false the Major propositions is;& how impertinent& ridiculous the probation thereof is?
A29752They will not say, it is unto Salvation, but to Faith: But did not Christ know, that this call would not be obeyed by them?
A29752This consequence, I grant, is good; but what is it to the point in hand?
A29752This is a life, the Good, the Advantage, the Joy, the Comfort, the Peace of which, who can express?
A29752This is but a Continuance of the same cheat: for it is no part of the question, whether the Saints should be vilified, or honoured?
A29752This is so fargood: But why shall not also His obedience be a full confirmation of the force, efficacy& authority of the commanding power of the Law?
A29752This is very true: But what then?
A29752To say this, is to speak plaine non- sense: for what is that to furnish a man with a Righteousness out of the Law?
A29752To what end did Christ give himself for his Church?
A29752True, but what then?
A29752True; what then?
A29752Unius peccatum omnibus operatum est mortem,& unius justitia uni vi ● am restituet?
A29752Unus peccavit& omnes tenentur rei,& unius innocentia soli reputabitur uni?
A29752Was Christ made sin, or a sacrifice for sin, that all the world might possibly be made the Righteousness of God in him?
A29752Was Christ made sin, that the imperfect grace of faith might be made a compleet Righteousness& become our compleet Righteousness?
A29752Was Christ so prodigal of his blood, as to cast it away, for such as were irrecoverably gone?
A29752Was He not by the Law of Mediation bound as well to give obedience to the Law, as to suffer the penalty?
A29752Was He not exemplary to us in His death& Sufferings?
A29752Was He not made under the Law, as well as under the Curse?
A29752Was he infected with that leaven of Pharisaical pride?
A29752Was he then occupied about Sacrifices?
A29752Was it a meer Power& Liberty, that should never have any Effect?
A29752Was it certanely to save some?
A29752Was it not a Rule of life& justification to Adam, in the state of Innocency?
A29752Was it only to make a new Transaction with man, in order to his salvation?
A29752Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered his Son upon the altar?
A29752Was not absolute perfection in Christ''s holy Obedience?
A29752Was not his satisfaction full& compleat?
A29752Was not the Apostles scope& desire, to win Christ?
A29752Was not the Humane Nature personally united unto the Godhead, from the very first moment of conception?
A29752Was this Adoption purchased upon an uncertain Condition?
A29752Was this end,& fruit left at an Uncertanty?
A29752Was this fulness for a meer Possible effect?
A29752We are justified by faith?
A29752We are justified by our works done after Regeneration; therefore we may continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A29752We assert no liberty for man: but why should not this liberty be allowed to the Supream God?
A29752Were it not lost laboure for any to enquire, what is the Matter& Forme of this legal Righteousness of Onesimus?
A29752What a life hath the Son and heire of a great King, when he may look upon the many great Dominions& Kingdomes of his Father, as his own?
A29752What a miserable case then are persons in, who will not submit unto this way?
A29752What answere giveth he?
A29752What can sinners invent, that can once be compared here- with?
A29752What could this contribute to prove, that there was now no condemnation to such, as were in Christ Jesus, among the Gentiles?
A29752What did or could Pelagius say more?
A29752What efficacy hath it, seing notwithstanding thereof, all may perish againe?
A29752What excepteth Mr. Goodwine?
A29752What fellowship hath Righteousness with unrighteousness?
A29752What great things of justification could, I pray, Paul''s expressions cause any passe over?
A29752What is his reason?
A29752What is that Righteousness, which faith compasseth, and the Law sought after, and could not attaine?
A29752What is the Condition of our ● ustification by this Righteousness of Christ, whether faith only, or works also?
A29752What is the Lord''s Way, Methode& Manner, how& by which he preserveth his own, in that State of Justification?
A29752What is this?
A29752What maketh all this to the purpose?
A29752What meaneth Mr. Baxter by these jewish observations?
A29752What more?
A29752What more?
A29752What more?
A29752What more?
A29752What more?
A29752What next?
A29752What next?
A29752What poor shifts are these, which men take to support a desperat cause?
A29752What probable ground is there for this imagination?
A29752What reason is, or can be given for the one, which will not hold for the other?
A29752What saith Mr. Baxtor to it?
A29752What saith he moreover?
A29752What saith he to this answere?
A29752What saith he to this?
A29752What saith he we answere hereunto?
A29752What saith he, to make out this alleiged Confusion?
A29752What shall our Adversary now do with faith?
A29752What shall we do to be saved?
A29752What shall we say then?
A29752What then can be meant by the weakness of Moses''s writtings?
A29752What then saith he& his?
A29752What then?
A29752What then?
A29752What was the end obtained for the rest?
A29752What would he hence conclude?
A29752When a Cavilling jew shall object, how can the world be saved by the Rectitude, or Obedience of one Christ?
A29752When a man is punished with death, according to the Law, is he ipso facto presently& perfectly delivered?
A29752When he saith, That Christ suffered in our stead, I would know, in whose stead it was?
A29752When men say( saith he) that faith justifieth, I demand, what is it, they meane by faith?
A29752When the Lord made him to be sin for us, was it only in part?
A29752Where he teacheth that this faith, including works& all obedience, is the only meane of justification?
A29752Where is boasting then?
A29752Where is boasting- then?
A29752Where is now the Confusion Mr. Baxter spoke of?
A29752Where is then the agreement?
A29752Wherefore?
A29752Wherefore?
A29752Wherein standeth this righteousness& justification?
A29752Whereof is it constitute?
A29752Whether a meritorious Righseousness, or a formal Righteousness( as he distinguishad) or both?
A29752Whether is it Christ''s Righteousness imputed to us,& made ours; or is it our Faith that becometh meritorious?
A29752Whether it was in the stead of some select persons, or in stead of all?
A29752Which is wonderfull; where, I pray, must the confusion lye?
A29752Which of them all, I pray, hath only this force?
A29752Who can reconcile this seeming Contradiction, that is not acquanted with the glorious mystery of the Gospel?
A29752Who can say either of these?
A29752Who doth not understand how the Suretys payment is really, in the sense of the Law, the payment of the debtor,& not meerly accepted for him?
A29752Who ever thought, or said, that a pardoned Thiefe or Murderer was a Righteous man?
A29752Who seeth not, how little ground there is for such an imagination?
A29752Who shall then separat such from the love of Christ?
A29752Why are not some of these great things mentioned?
A29752Why did God set forth Christ to be a propitiation?
A29752Why do we then condemne the Pelagians?
A29752Why doth he alwayes oppose Faith unto works,& say, we are justified by faith without the deeds of the Law?
A29752Why should any then, for whom he gave that satisfaction, be liable to Punishment?
A29752Why should obedience here be thus restricked to the Law of Mediation?
A29752Why so?
A29752Why then is all this trouble made?
A29752Why will he not say this also of Christ''s Obedience; seing both were performed by Him, in His estate of Humiliation,& as the Surety of the Covenant?
A29752Why?
A29752Will it therefore follow, that He died not, to make Satisfaction to justice, for the sinnes of His people?
A29752Will not Mr. Baxter grant, that faith is the Condition of our justification by this Righteousness?
A29752Would Justification by Christs obedience give ground of boasting?
A29752Yea, are not the given ones clearly distinguished from the rest?
A29752Yet what doth Mr. Baxter gain?
A29752],[ Holland?
A29752alius qui peccatorem constituit, alius qui justificat a peccato?
A29752and did He not represent and stand in the room of sinners, as their Political Head& Representative?
A29752and how can this be, that the greatest effect of this greatest love shall be common to all,& smaller effects not common also?
A29752and how it is wrought?
A29752and how very far remote must that Right be( if it be at all) which the Reprobat have?
A29752and is faith the same with works, or with works without this conceite of merite?
A29752and that all this love should be outed; and possibly not one man saved?
A29752and was that all that Christ obtained?
A29752and what hand mans labours and endeavours have in the infusion of the new Principle, the Divine Nature?
A29752and why was it more Absolute as to that, than as to other things?
A29752are we not possessed of right to the reward, and being righteous, are we not free of our sin?
A29752are we therefore agreed with them in judgment?
A29752aut plus potutt Adam in malo, quàm Christus in bono?
A29752betwixt simply sinners, and formally sinners ▪ And what can he meane by formally sinners?
A29752but another person?
A29752can the pardon of murther, or of any prohibited act, make that act conforme to the Law?
A29752could this be true, if no man had been saved?
A29752do they not meane their beleeving of act or faith?
A29752doth Christ redeem all the world from all iniquity?
A29752doth any jote or title of the Law countenance the Imputation of faith, for a proportionable Righteousness?
A29752doth faith answere every jote, title, point and letter of the Law?
A29752doth he not direct our thoughts to Christ beleeved in?
A29752doth not righteousness denote the conformity of actions unto the law?
A29752doth the law hold forth any Righteousness, but perfect obedience?
A29752f. 11. what is that to beleeve in his name?
A29752how can Christ be said to have been made a curse for them; how shall their sufferings not be a part of Satisfaction to Vindictive justice?
A29752how can they be said to be Redeemed from the Curse of the Law?
A29752how should Christ''s death be our life, if we gote not life thereby?
A29752i. e. For what could man, a servant of sin& a bound slave of the devil, do of himself, to recover the Righteousness, which he had once lost?
A29752i. e. Shall I make mention of my Righteousness?
A29752i. e. for what else could cover out sins, but his( i. e. Christ''s) Righteousness?
A29752if Christ died for the sinnes of all persons, how cometh it that they are not all actually pardoned?
A29752if in nothing, then Man must certanely have a great share of the glory: if it was Absolute as to any thing, what was that?
A29752in quo alio nos iniqui& impii pro justis haberi possumus, quam in solo Dei filio?
A29752in whom else, could we, who are naked& ungodly, be accounted for Righteous persons?
A29752is it a Righteousness perperly so called?
A29752is it a thing in our Power, and an act of our owne Free Will?
A29752make manifest; where it is said( in answere to that Question, How doth faith justifie a sinner in the sight of God?)
A29752may not the righteousness of the law be made over to them by faith?
A29752might one say: doth not this quite take away all Remission?
A29752must it not be the Righteousness of Him, whom faith goeth out unto& laith hold on, in order to justification?
A29752no, by the law of faith?
A29752of works?
A29752or all that is required of justified persons by way of duty?
A29752or are there no more Provocations or diseases?
A29752or by which we are justified as the proper Righteousness of that Law?
A29752or can a man have any Righteousness, prescribed by a Law, but by thoughts, words,& deeds, bearing a conformity to the commands of the Law?
A29752or can not these two be conceived as two things formally distinct, though inseparable?
A29752or did Christ only become a Curse, in reference to the breaches of that?
A29752or how can meer Sufferings, as such, or bearing of the punishment threatened by the law, be called a righteousness?
A29752or how could they be said to be chosen in Him, before the foundation of the world?
A29752or how could they be said to be weak through the flesh?
A29752or is it only meaned potentially, that is, that it might be possible, that we should not suffer?
A29752or shall they not all actually be pardoned in due time?
A29752or that Abraham indeed did so?
A29752or that Christ died for all, or for any, Conditionally?
A29752or that any in these daies were pleading for justification, upon the account only of such works?
A29752or that his pardon made him formally Rightheous, and an observer of the law?
A29752or that only such would make the reward of debt?
A29752or that such were Abraham''s works?
A29752or that such works were to be understood by the Law, as if the Law did command no other?
A29752or was he afterward to act without dependance upon, or influence from God, the first Cause?
A29752or what can be the true causes hereof?
A29752or what communion hath light with darkness?
A29752or what ground was there to feare, that Christ''s honour should have been wronged thereby?
A29752or what is it, which the Lord requireth in order thereunto?
A29752or what is required on our part, in order thereunto?
A29752or what is that in Christ, that faith specially eyeth, and carrieth the soul out unto, when Justification before God is only designed?
A29752or where in was it, that he beleeved God?
A29752or whether any thing more be required of us for continueing this Relation than was at first required to the making of it?
A29752or who can conceive what an heaven lyeth wrapped up here?
A29752shall we therefore say, That there was no satisfaction for sins intended thereby?
A29752shall we therefore think, that the Lord, whose judgment is according to truth, shall account any Righteous, who have no righteousness?
A29752than only in the Son of God?
A29752that is, that possibly not one person might be made the Righteousness of God in him?
A29752that nothing can with truth, and in sufficient propriety of speech, be called a Righteousness but what is a conformity to the Law of God?
A29752the Law never threatned a Surety: nor granteth any liberty of substitution: that was an act of God above the Law?
A29752the Righteousness of Christ with your own?
A29752then to enquire?
A29752to Sufferings and death) for our offences, and raised againe for our justification?
A29752was Christ''s death Absolute in no respect; or was it, as to some things, I mean, belonging to Grace& Glory, Absolute?
A29752was he not, according to that Covenant, where in he stood, to purchase the good promised by his doing?
A29752was it only a Possible Call of all, Justice bein satisfied?
A29752was the Lord in Christ reconcileing the world unto himself, not imputing only part of their trespasses to them?
A29752were these part of the Conditions of the Covenant of works?
A29752what Ends, or what Advantages can we imagine of such an Universal Redemption?
A29752what Scripture tels us, that Christ was sen to die, that he might obtain this Power unto God?
A29752what a bundle of Mercies of life is here?
A29752what a life is here, to stand thus related unto the great God?
A29752what an unsearchable mystery of Love and free grace shineth forth here?
A29752what are the Conditions of Not- loseing this State?
A29752what condescension of Love and free Grace is clearly legible in this business?
A29752what could be the designe of Father& Son in this?
A29752what ground can be given for such fictions?
A29752what ground is there to think, that he was called to remove that objection here againe?
A29752what ground of Confidence or of Certainty, can the Arminian& Socinian way, followed by the formentioned Author, give to a poor soul?
A29752what saith Mr. Baxter to this?
A29752when he saith, that our first constitutive justification, is in its( own Nature, a right to Impunity,& to life, or glory?
A29752where are then the Infused Habites?
A29752where is then the difference?
A29752where saith the Scripture, that if we beleeve, Christ died for us?
A29752whether was Paul''s satisfaction the Efficient, or Constitutive cause of Onesimus his Innocency, or non- guiltiness, and the like?
A29752who can dream thus, that God''s intentions& designes should be so loose& frustrable,& that God should be so uncertain in his purposes?
A29752will it satisfie him, that we found the necessity of Imputation of Christ''s Righteoufness on the same ground?
A29752will say to me, in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
A29752would not every one smile at such Non- sense?
A29752your faith, depending alone upon your Saviour, with your works?
A29752— thou was ● tain, and hast redeemed us to God, by thy blood; and what more?
A40370A Son was promised to Abraham, and he believed, not at all distrusting him that promised, and it is accounted a praise to him: What then?
A40370Again, by the obedience of one many are righteous?
A40370Again, if you ask, what manner of Faith that is?
A40370And I deny it not: But what Conclusion flows from this manner of Arguing?
A40370And after all these things do you yet boast of your merits, as if the reward of the Everlasting state were due to your Labours?
A40370And again in the same place discoursing of the Salvation of Christians: Do you ask how a man is Saved?
A40370And do you, who are so great an extoller of righteousness, against all righteousness tear honest and innocent men in pieces with false accusations?
A40370And does Faith nothing but prepare us for Righteousness?
A40370And does any in this life hope to attain unto that, which Paul with all his endeavours, was not able to attain unto?
A40370And he shall bear their iniquities,& c. For how did he bear them, if they remain yet tobe born by us?
A40370And if Works are excluded, what can be a more undoubted Truth, than that we are justified by Faith only?
A40370And if they are said to be compelled to come in, where is the free will of the Tridentines?
A40370And now by what Scriptures will they demonstrate that?
A40370And now by what confirmation do you prove this?
A40370And now so many and great things being done by Faith, let us enquire, After what manner it does them?
A40370And now then this remains to be searched into; What it is that reconciles sinners to God, and restores them to his favour?
A40370And now what Merits did they bring with them, that they should be so Honourably Entertained?
A40370And now what then will those Scribes and Disputers of this World answer here?
A40370And now what will become of those, who being Iust Men fall seven times a Day, and yet rise up again?
A40370And now what will they answer to this Argument of Augustin?
A40370And now, what then if those are added?
A40370And presently again repeating the same: But who in this Life is without some sin?
A40370And should we translate our Faith, which we owe to God with faithful Abraham unto men that are Sophisters?
A40370And the same Abraham obeyed God, when he commanded; and why doth not the Scripture in like manner add, That this was imputed to him for Righteousness?
A40370And then whether it is internal, and inherent, being inwardly placed, or whether it should be called external?
A40370And then, how they please, of themselves, or upon the account of Faith?
A40370And therefore, ye also your selves admit many Words into your Confession of Faith, of which the Scripture makes no mention?
A40370And think you that your Vertues are such that they will overcome at this Iudgment Seat, when they are Iudged?
A40370And what Doctrine is more excellent, than to know Christ the Son of God aright, and the power of his Death, and Resurrection?
A40370And what Gospel is it, that we have received by the preaching of Paul?
A40370And what absurdity is it then for us to profess that we are justified by Faith only?
A40370And what are our Wounds, say they, but Sin?
A40370And what did that first and chiefest sinner deserve to receive?
A40370And what doth your Logical reasoning gather thence?
A40370And what else do those Men, who reject the Apostle''s Doctrine, and hearken to such as teach contrary thereunto?
A40370And what will they then say to these words of Paul, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Iesus Christ?
A40370And what will you answer Paul the Apostle, who denies that grace is any more grace, if men deal with God by Works?
A40370And what will you say to Augustin, who esteems all the Righteousness of this life as dung?
A40370And when?
A40370And where be those remarkable exceptive and exclusive Particles, whereby our Salvation is wholly cut off from Works, and ascribed unto Imputation?
A40370And where then is that Merit de Gongruo and condigno?
A40370And where then is that excellent integrity of Life?
A40370And where then is that peace with God, which the Apostle Preaches: Being justified by Faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Iesus Christ?
A40370And where then is the agreement of similitude between Christ and Adam?
A40370And who was more Holy in Life than he, or more fervent against the sins of those that walked not after the Spirit, but after the flesh?
A40370And who will boast that he is pure from his Sin?
A40370And why before men, and not before God?
A40370And why could he not by Prayers, obtain this same infusion from his most bountiful Father, when he was present here?
A40370And why doth he not as well say, the reward of Righteousness is Eternal Life?
A40370And why should his Works displease?
A40370And why was her Love to the Lord more vehement?
A40370And will your envy shut up that from us, which he hath opened?
A40370And would not rather have punished him if he had not done them?
A40370And yet Paul denies that these Works, though excellent in themselves, availed any thing before God, in respect either of glorying or of Iustification?
A40370And yet must Canisius thrust the godly down as low as the ungodly, to render a strict account of all the transactions of their Lives?
A40370And yet who among you so Administers his Office, that nothing is wanting to him, in the Catalogue of all these Vertues?
A40370And yet you your self deny not, that it doth not so come to pass, but why it comes not to pass, who hath known the mind of the Lord?
A40370And, will the Tridentine Councellours remonstrate against this; that Man''s Salvation consists only in the Favour of God?
A40370Answer ingenuously, are you silent?
A40370Are none saved but those that by a due imitation attain unto the most Holy Vertues of Christ?
A40370Are not pious works the gifts of God?
A40370Are not these also remunerated with plentiful fruits of Righteousness, and heaped up with manifold Rewards in the Gospel?
A40370Are then all the promises of God referred to this?
A40370Are there no Merits then, say they, of the Righteous?
A40370Are they not those that believe in Christ himself?
A40370As touching the scope of this Epistle, how greatly is campian mistaken?
A40370Axiom of his?
A40370BUT Now by what other thing then will they say that we are justified, if we obtain it not by the favour of God only?
A40370BUT You may say, Is Faith alone here?
A40370BUT you will say, to what purpose then is it to repent, and to amend evil deeds?
A40370BUT you will say, what, is it not an excellent thing?
A40370Be it so indeed, yet in this same race how unhappily do we oftiems run?
A40370Be it so, and you on the contrary refer all to the works of the Law, which of you two is worthiest to be accused?
A40370Because he was not willing who by nature is Charity it self?
A40370Because the Israelites were more in number: I suppose it was not so: was it because they were stronger?
A40370Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the Sins of the World?
A40370But I ask, what was it that stirred you up to do it?
A40370But I ask, wherefore doth Faith justifie before God?
A40370But I enquire not what the Almighty Grace of God can do of it self, but what it does in you, or in any other mortal Man?
A40370But again, who can be ignorant, that this is no cause in him, why he should receive the Inheritance?
A40370But by what Authority of the Gospel do you confirm those things, which you assert?
A40370But contraryways, Israel that followed after the Righteousness of the Law, attained not thereunto: Wherefore?
A40370But does not Faith therefore justifie in the sight of God without works, because it is not evidenced by the Testimony of good deeds joyned therewith?
A40370But for what purpose doth he bestow both?
A40370But have ye not also at any time read in the Epistles of Paul, these forms of speaking, Christ is our Righteousness?
A40370But here again there arises an Objection out of Iohn; Whosoever is born of God can not sin,& c. And what is concluded from hence?
A40370But how did he obtain this Promise, by Faith, or by Works?
A40370But how is it consumed?
A40370But how is nature purged, if yet the contagion of sin remains?
A40370But how, say you, is Sin taken out of the World, If the Corruption of Sin yet does reign in the Saints?
A40370But if a believer gives his Christian Brother so much as a Cup of cold Water in his necessity, shall he lack his Reward?
A40370But if he fall, where then is the Righteousness of Works?
A40370But if he took it away, where is then the condemnation due to Sinners?
A40370But if it be asked how, and in what order the Death of Christ effects this?
A40370But if otherways, Where then is your Righteousness, whereof you boast?
A40370But if they are righteous and not sinners, whom Christ helps: What need have the Righteous of a Redeemer?
A40370But if they serve for our advantage, why can not those things be justly accounted for ours, which were undertaken in our name, and for our sake?
A40370But if you ask how in this Flesh?
A40370But if you ask, how?
A40370But if you ask, what are the the effects of this cause?
A40370But if you ask, what way?
A40370But if you would know by what marks you distinguish between a true Faith, and that which is counterfeit?
A40370But let us proceed; Wherefore were so many and so great offences forgiven her, but for her Faith, which guided her Love?
A40370But let us see what manner of Sinners they are, whom Faith Iustifies: Is it the Rebellious, and Impenitent?
A40370But now being endued with the gift of Charity, what will you obtain by that?
A40370But now how will you teach that?
A40370But now what Arguments do they rely upon in disputing thus?
A40370But now what if we can not exactly follow the footsteps of his holiness?
A40370But now what way are we justified?
A40370But now where is then that righteousness which Christ hath purchased for us?
A40370But now, do you your self perform all these things, which you require in us for the perfection of righteousness?
A40370But now, what way does it prepare?
A40370But our Opinions differ concerning those things, which are called causes on Man''s part; to wit, whether there is one cause only or more?
A40370But pray how dead?
A40370But proceed; what follows after?
A40370But suppose it be so, as Christ then objected to the Pharisees: Did not Moses give you the Law,& c?
A40370But suppose that good works are joyned with Faith, which give evidence to men that it is a lively Faith: Will Faith justifie thee?
A40370But suppose there were some such Man: What if such a Man rages with Concupiscence of the Flesh or Eyes, though the inward mind doth not consent?
A40370But that God might make it manifest, that in the benefits of God, there is not left any thing for Human Pride, wherein it may glory?
A40370But that he may have all the glory to his own free Grace, and no place for glorying left for Human endeavours, and merits?
A40370But that works Wrath?
A40370But the causes of evils are sins, which if they are taken away by Christ, how can they remain in the Saints?
A40370But there is added in the definition, by the remission of Sin, and what does this help their cause?
A40370But what a Connexion is this?
A40370But what consequence is that?
A40370But what do you drive at in all these florid expressions?
A40370But what does all this make against Iustification by Faith?
A40370But what else is our Iustification, but blessedness?
A40370But what follows from hence?
A40370But what hindered?
A40370But what if having observed all other commands of God exactly, so much as one tittle of the Law is neglected by thee?
A40370But what if some other that was no Member of Christ, whether Heathen or Turk had need of your Meat?
A40370But what is coming to Christ, but believing in him according to the saying of Augustin?
A40370But what is it to see him, but to believe in him?
A40370But what is this Gospel of Christ, that he commands to be Preached?
A40370But what other thing does this adding of Redemption signifie, but the Remission of all Sins?
A40370But what saith he of the Righteousness that is of Faith?
A40370But what says Vega and Hosius the enemy of Paul?
A40370But what shall be said in the mean while unto Testimonies, that are frequent in the Scriptures, which oft- times propose great Rewards to Pious Works?
A40370But what then?
A40370But what way is it firm, if it is of Works upon any account?
A40370But what, say they, are not the pious works of Charity acceptable to God, being so many ways prescribed unto us, and commanded by him?
A40370But what, shall we affirm that those men also are by these things made acceptable to God?
A40370But what?
A40370But when the highest Lord shall sit on the Throne, who will boast that he hath a clean Heart?
A40370But where and how was he thus justified?
A40370But where shall we find this Righteousness?
A40370But where will they find those righteous men, that dare profess themselves free from all guilt of sin?
A40370But wherefore do I so much enlarge upon this matter?
A40370But who hath required these things at your Hands?
A40370But why did they give him Vinegar?
A40370But why do I take up my time in rehearsing the Names of Men, or reckoning their approbations?
A40370But why should I prosecute this matter any further?
A40370But you may object?
A40370But you may say, What must then be answered to the Words of Christ, who seems to promise the blessedness of the Kingdom as a reward of Works?
A40370But you may say, What, doth not Mercy promised in Christ go before the vocation of Faith?
A40370But you may say, what then?
A40370But you may say, where then?
A40370But you may say: Are not Works that are performed in Charity, for the relief of the Poor, pleasing and acceptable to God?
A40370But you will say, Shall we not all come to Iudgment?
A40370But, you will say, what then, is there no Righteousness which belongs to men?
A40370By the Law?
A40370By the works of the Law?
A40370By what Author, by what Witness, by what Doctor, by what Testimony, or Example, do you prove this to be true, which you Preach?
A40370By what Logick then have these Sophisters learned to make a definite and particular Proposition of that which is Indefinite and Universal?
A40370Call the Poor, saith he, and the Lame, and the Blind, and compel them to come in, that my House may be filled?
A40370Can the giving of Meat and Drink by any such without Faith merit Eternal Life?
A40370Can you not be perswaded to believe the Truth, which hath been so often and so perspicuously demonstrated by so great a Master as Paul?
A40370Certainly it is so: Right indeed; What if he who knew no sin, is made a sinner before God, by the imputation of the sin of another?
A40370Christ Iustifies Sinners, but what Sinners?
A40370Christ commands the Gospel to be Preached to every Creature: Will ye forbid it, though many abuse the Gospel?
A40370Dangers, Terrours, Miseries, weariness besiege you on every side, Who gives you help?
A40370Dare you deny what he affirms?
A40370Did he not believe; being instructed by the Holy Scriptures, in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth?
A40370Did he not receive Christ as a Prophet?
A40370Did not he also love the Lord?
A40370Did not the Apostle Iames assert with great Authority, That Abraham was justified by Works?
A40370Did the worth of his Oblation procure him this favour?
A40370Did they not abound in the VVorks of Grace?
A40370Did you then feed Christ, when he was an hungred?
A40370Do none dye, but they that Sin after the Example of Adam?
A40370Do not the Pious Works of the Saints please God?
A40370Do the Merits of Christ profit nothing to Salvation?
A40370Do they contribute nothing towards Righteousness?
A40370Do they help nothing towards the obtaining of Righteousness?
A40370Do you hear that Salvation is simply promised to Believers; and that it consists of nothing else but Faith, and that Sacrament of Faith?
A40370Do you not see that you are tyed on every side with Bonds that are Apostolick and wholly of Adamant?
A40370Do you not see, that the Sentence of the Law being pronounced, you are as much in the fault, as if you were guilty of all 〈 ◊ 〉?
A40370Do you praise the undaunted confidence of Abraham, and do you dispraise ours?
A40370Do you so place all righteousness in works, that you think there is no righteousness of Faith?
A40370Does Luther either say or teach any other thing?
A40370Does any Man take away due praise and dignity from those?
A40370Does this attribution seem internal to you, or rather external?
A40370Dost thou deny Grace to be a Vertue?
A40370Doth Christ the Bride- groom forsake his Bride?
A40370Doth it perform perfect Obedience?
A40370Doth it then perform imperfect Obedience?
A40370Doth not this Faith only in the Person of the Son of God make us partakers of the promise?
A40370Doth not this Faith only justifie before God?
A40370First, who is so Ignorant, but knows what we received from both our Parents, of which you dispute so prolixly?
A40370For he asks of those that deny Sin to be utterly extirpated by the Grace of Christ in this Life; Whether they distrust his Power or his Clemency?
A40370For how can Hope avoid being uncertain, if Salvation must be hoped for by Works, and not by free Donation?
A40370For how can it be, that that everlasting Law should not hate sin and wickedness with the greatest abhorrency?
A40370For how shall he only have the praise of that thing, as saith Hierom, which he hath common to himself with many?
A40370For otherwise, to what purpose did Christ dye, if he died not for sins and sinners?
A40370For otherwise, what will they answer the Prophet, or how can they interpret his Words, where he commands to eat without Money and without Price?
A40370For the mind being supported and safe guarded by Faith in Christ, what more can it wish for, to arrive unto the highest pitch of felicity?
A40370For to what purpose should God promise by his Word, if he would not have us assured of those things which are promised?
A40370For what can they do more agreeably?
A40370For what encouragement is there for Hope, when the Mind is restless through fear, and all thingsly at an uncertainty?
A40370For what greater injury can be done to the Scriptures of God?
A40370For what ignorance is this?
A40370For what is it to do the Will of the Father,( but as Paul expresses it) to walk, not after the flesh, but after the spirit?
A40370For what is more excellent than righteousness in the whole nature of Divine and Humane things?
A40370For what is more joyful, or suitable to Mirth than a Marriage- feast?
A40370For what is more sure than the Promises of God?
A40370For what manner of consequence is this?
A40370For what need had he of the promised Seed and a Redeemer, if already he had been righteous by Works?
A40370For what need is there of any Satisfaction or Repentance, when you have committed no Sin?
A40370For what place is there for repentance, where nothing is committed contrary to duty?
A40370For what says the Scripture?
A40370For what things can more fiercely encounter than such an opposition as this, Christ is our Righteousness?
A40370For what think you, Sir?
A40370For who hath thanked a Servant, as the Gospel Witnesses for the Service, which he owed to his Master after he did his Commands?
A40370For who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s Elect?
A40370For, What, saith he, hath not God of old engaged his faithfulness, by a most sure Covenant, that be would ablolish all our Sins through Christ?
A40370Hath he not engaged himself by an inviolable Covenant that he would pardon our Sins?
A40370He hath promised indeed, I confess, but how?
A40370He is righteous, therefore he is endued with righteousness; Such a man is learned, therefore he hath learning?
A40370He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things?
A40370He that walks being Cloathed with Christ, What can be wanting to him, unto all Glory and Beauty of Righteousness?
A40370He who afferts we are justified by the Faith of Christ, and not by Works; What doth he else but remove Works utterly from the justification of Faith?
A40370Hierom, if you would have this common to you with Christ, that you can be without fin, what do you leave him, that is peculiar to him?
A40370How evidently doth it hence appear, what we should answer to this Argument?
A40370How holily doth M. Cicero write of Offices?
A40370How many ways do we fall, how blind and traversed a way do we often go?
A40370How often do we hear from the mouth of the Lord in the Gospel: thy Faith hath made thee whole, without hearing any mention of works?
A40370How often do we stumble?
A40370How shall these things, so contrary to one another, agree together?
A40370How then of works of our righteousness?
A40370How was he made sin and a curse for us, if we yet fall under the Curse?
A40370How wickedly did they murmur against their Leaders, and so provoked the anger of God against themselves?
A40370How, say you, for all?
A40370I beseech you?
A40370I do not deny it, but this I ask what manner of promises hath repentance in the Old Law?
A40370I hear what you say, but what do you infer from this?
A40370I hear you; and what follows?
A40370I pray you what is more evident?
A40370I pray you, what is the meaning of these words, by the disobedience of one many are sinners?
A40370I say, suppose we grant this to be true, what follows from hence?
A40370I see that you return, and I praise it, but to whom is this praise due?
A40370I suppose you will not: What way then was he made sin?
A40370I trow not: And what remedy then will you shew them?
A40370If Example should be taken from Christ, I pray you, what doth the Divine Father and Creator commend more unto us?
A40370If a gift, where then is Merit?
A40370If he hath iniquity, upon what account is he called holy?
A40370If he is a Saint, saith he, how doth he pray for the pardon of sin?
A40370If he is just, how shall he be called unjust?
A40370If he overcome, where is the Truth of Scripture, in which it is said, God only overcomes, when he is judged?
A40370If he was a sinner, how then was he righteous by works?
A40370If his Life it self every way perfect with all purity of the greatest Vertues, what more admirable?
A40370If it be the Righteousness of Works?
A40370If it is Christs, it is not ours?
A40370If it is ours, it is not Christs: how is a man of wicked made righteous?
A40370If it is ours, upon what account then do those Gymnosophists Preach that it belongs not to us?
A40370If it was ours, how was it ours, but by external imputation?
A40370If of wicked he is made righteous, that I may speak in the words of Augustine, what are the works of wicked men?
A40370If so be all our Iustification is perfected by Charity?
A40370If that which was due from us, be paid by the price of Christ, is there any Law so cruel as to exact the same debt of us again?
A40370If the Woman that was a Sinner, by her love mericed( as they speak) Iustification, What shall we say of the Pharisee?
A40370If the greatness of his benefits, what more Divine?
A40370If the procurement of another, hath brought you to death, may not also the procurement of another, restore you to life again?
A40370If the righteous, what need is there now of Iustification or Faith, when the Law is sufficient?
A40370If the wicked, whether those that are penitent and converted, or the impenitent and rebellious?
A40370If they judge so, I ask whether it is a moral vertue, or a theological?
A40370If they say true, the Canonical Truth is a Lye: But if it be blasphemy to entertain such a thought, must not they of Trent be Lyars?
A40370If those things be true, which your prayers declare, how is not your Doctrine false?
A40370If we are found Naked in our Reception into Glory, where then is that second Iustification( made up) of good Works?
A40370If we consider his Works, what was more glorious and wonderful?
A40370If we look upon his Faith, what was more sincere?
A40370If you answer an eternal, I would then know what difference there will be between Legal and Evangelical Promises?
A40370If you ask, saith he, whether there are no Merits of the Righteous?
A40370If you ask; how?
A40370If you judge they are such, as are defiled with no pollution, or can say with Christ: Who amongst you will prove me guilty of Sin?
A40370In like manner Iob feared, though he was innocent; What shall I do, said he, when God ariseth to judge, and when he visiteth, What shall I answer?
A40370In like manner the Seed to come was promised to miserable Adam: To what purpose?
A40370In those come to years, if all sins are so extinguished, that no relicks remain, what need is there of any conversion?
A40370In what flesh?
A40370In what times hath the love( if not of all, at least of most Men) waxed so cold?
A40370Inherent Righteousness doth not justifie the unrighteous; for if he be ungodly, how is he just?
A40370Is Faith nothing?
A40370Is Grace nothing?
A40370Is it not he only, for whose sake only Salvation is promised to Believers?
A40370Is it not joyned together with Love and Repentance?
A40370Is it so indeed that this was not heard of since the beginning of the World?
A40370Is not Faith in Christ the Mediatour as singular a gift of God; and does it not proceed from the Election of Divine Grace?
A40370Is not he the Lamb that takes away the sins of the World?
A40370Is not he the Life- giving Serpent, who gives cure for our wounds?
A40370Is not the free Promise of God a most true cause on which our whole Iustification depends?
A40370Is the Mercy and Promise of God nothing?
A40370Is there another way prepared for Salvation, but what is eontained in the Law of God?
A40370Is there any other paved way to Salvation, but what is contained in the Law of God?
A40370Is there no reward by way of Merit left in Heaven, which Christ promises to be so plentiful in the Scriptures?
A40370Is this any society with Iesus?
A40370It was verily a great Miracle of Victory, but whence happened this Victory?
A40370Let us here compare other kinds of Offices: Who knows not, that a Son and Heir ought of necessity to be dutiful to his Father?
A40370Luther indeed did write of Faith, I know, and confess it, but what then?
A40370May we not enjoy the bounty of another, because we have no ability of our own?
A40370Moreover Paul writing to the Corintbians, says, Know ye not that the Saints shall judge the World?
A40370Moreover he that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; How, saith Paul, will he not with him give us all things?
A40370Moreover seeing the Promises of God are most sure, may not the same be safely and constantly trusted in?
A40370Moreover the whole sink of things formerly done, will be all at once laid open; What will the miserable Sinner say here?
A40370Moreover what that is, which is properly signified in the Scriptures by the word Iustification?
A40370Moreover where are all those sweet Promises, if those Men rob us of the Assurance of Salvation and God''s Imputation?
A40370Moreover who hath a true savour of Christ, but he dispises the World, and all the things of the World, as the dirt under his Feet?
A40370Moreover, since the Death of Christ, is there so great an influence of Grace present with any man, that he is able to fulfil all Righteousness?
A40370Moreover, what is that, when the Publican in the Gospel is said to have gone to his house justified rather than the Pharisee?
A40370Moreover, where is that opposition mentioned by Paul between the Righteousness of the Law and of Faith?
A40370Moreover, whether it hath the promises of Eternal Life annexed unto it?
A40370Must we be thus saved, O Osorius, in keeping God''s Commands?
A40370Must we not all appear before the Tribunal of God?
A40370Must we not give credit to those things, which are promised by God?
A40370Neither was that the cause: What, did they then excell all the other Nations in Vertues?
A40370No concupisence of the eyes defiles the purity of your mind?
A40370No perturbation of affections throws you down from your state of constancy?
A40370No, By Imputation then?
A40370Not at all in the very Nature of the Persons?
A40370Not of Man that willeth or runneth?
A40370Now he believing in the Father, and receiving the Son with Affectionate Love, What could be wanting to him, that was necessary to Iustification?
A40370Now if the forgiveness of our Iniquities is sufficient to blessedness, is it not also sufficient to Iustification?
A40370Now then Catholick Reader, receive a conclusion, Roman Catholick enough?
A40370Now then wherein will this Righteousness of yours differ from that Pharisee in the Parable of the Gospel?
A40370Now what Turning, what Hole to escape at can you find?
A40370Now what an Argument is that, that a thing can be which hath not been?
A40370O Death where is thy Sting?
A40370O Saint Paul, What Ignorance was this in thee, or unskilfulness of Speech?
A40370O good friend?
A40370O thou of little Faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
A40370On the contrary, they that detract the promise of Eternal Life from the Christian Faith, Shall they be accounted Friends to Grace?
A40370Only by being propagated from Adam, we perish: And why are we not as well saved by being born again from Christ?
A40370Or after what manner, by what Instrument, by what hands must he be received, but Faith only?
A40370Or because he was not able, who is in Majesty Omnipotent?
A40370Or by what authority do you oppose your selves, but that every man may act in his own possession according to his own right, and freedom of command?
A40370Or does that Iesuitical Rule rather lye, which judges those alive by reason of their inherent qualities, whom the Scripture calls dead?
A40370Or how are all things in Heaven and in Earth reconciled by the blood of his Cross, as Paul witnesseth?
A40370Or how should he absolve, unless he be received?
A40370Or if he do it, how, for what cause, and in what manner he does it, by Faith, or by Works?
A40370Or is his grace lessened, that he is unwilling or unable to help his Servants?
A40370Or its co- operation?
A40370Or shall we say there was some other thing that made his person acceptable to God, before he had any regard to his Sacrifice?
A40370Or what Reason have they to confine that unto a particular Case, which Paul speaks of Works in the general?
A40370Or what will they answer to Augustine, who evidently confutes what they maintain?
A40370Or whether there is some condition?
A40370Or who should suppose them worthy to be believed, who contradict in their Temples, that which they dispute for in their Schools?
A40370Or why should the Works of a Christian please, unless it were for Faith?
A40370Or, shall any Man by the merits of his Life attain to be a Son, who is by nature a Servant?
A40370Paul says, Without Works Man is justified: Will you then dare to plead for Iustification by Works in Opposition to the Apostle?
A40370Paul the Apostle taught the same before Luther: What will Osorius say to me here?
A40370Pious Reader, what Testimonies of greater Authority dost thou look for?
A40370Right, but who are they, whom you call by the name of Iust?
A40370Say you so?
A40370Seeing Paul also confesses that he is sometimes drawn thither whither he would not: And then where is the righteousness which was hoped for by Works?
A40370Shall Alam be more powerful to infect Nature, than Christ to cleanse it?
A40370Shall not Christ have a free power permitted to him of administring his own affairs, as in his own lawful Common- wealth?
A40370Shall we believe Aristotle more than Paul?
A40370Should not the same Works having proceeded from God himself the Author, be referred to his bounty and mercy Why not?
A40370So that now there is nothing which reconciles us to God, but the righteousness of works?
A40370Suppose a man is greatly grieved at the remembrance of his by- past life, but yet comes not to Christ; will grief for his sins save him?
A40370Suppose we grant all contained in this Argument, what will these Roman Iusticiaries infer from thence?
A40370Than which what could be said or invented more repugnant to the Gospel?
A40370Than which, what can be more absurd?
A40370That every one that seeth the Son, and believes in him: He that believeth in me shall never Die: Do ye believe in God?
A40370That every one who seeth him may not perish, but have eternal Life?
A40370That is, where he would place this State of Righteousness?
A40370That no Lust draws you aside from your duty?
A40370That there is no hope of Righteousness, no way of Salvation, no reconciliation for us, nor remission of Sins, unless the Law be kept?
A40370That they know not Merits, and yet bring in no other thing but Merits to make Iustification perfect?
A40370That was Piously done indeed?
A40370That we might be made the Righteousness of God by him, saith the Apostle: Will you deny it?
A40370That which is done by a Friend for the sake of a Friend, is it not just as if it had been done by himself?
A40370The Lord himself shews the cause thereof: For, what need have the whole of the Physician?
A40370The Scripture foreseeing that God would justifie the Gentiles by Faith, he first told the glad tydings to Abraham: and what glad tydings was this?
A40370Therefore if it be asked concerning the Office of Iustification, What it is that reconciles us to God, and procures Eternal Life for us?
A40370Therefore only Faith doth not justiste?
A40370Those whom God Iustifies, who shall condemn?
A40370Thus they say, What should I answer then, but that their Interpretation doth not agree with the Mind of the Author?
A40370To the strength of your will, or to free mercy?
A40370To what purpose then is that daily saying of the Church made mention of: Forgive us our debts?
A40370To what will he fly?
A40370To whom, that I may make answer, let us hear this first from them: Whether faith, whereby we believe in Christ, seems to them a vertue or not?
A40370To whom?
A40370Unless it be those that Glory in their own Righteousness, and not in the Mercy of the Iudge?
A40370Unto these things so very evident and clear, what do the Adversaries object?
A40370Upon what account will you obtain that?
A40370VVHat then?
A40370VVere they not partakers of the same Grace?
A40370VVhat difference then is there between those VVorks, that are called VVorks of the Law, and those other that are called VVorks of Grace?
A40370WHAT, say they, have you not at any time read that form of reasoning in Aristotle?
A40370Was he justified by Works, of whom Paul says expresly, that he had no cause of glorying in his Works before God?
A40370Was it because they obliged the Prophet Moses with kindnesses, whom rather they endeavoured to betray, by most unjust ways and complaints?
A40370Was it want of Love, or was it not rather want of Faith in those unbelieving Pharisees?
A40370Was the Apostle ignorant of the Holiness and Excellency of the Works of the Godly Patriarch, which were not without Faith, and the Grace of God?
A40370We are made the righteousness of God by him?
A40370Well said: But what then Sirs; do ye think that this is not sufficient to Establish a Man in everlasting Felicity?
A40370Well, and what do these Mountains of Gilboa bring forth unto us?
A40370Well, and what next?
A40370Were we not all healed by his stripes?
A40370What Faith that is, and of what sort it is, which is said to justifie?
A40370What Law can hold them guilty, that are not under the Law, but under Grace?
A40370What a contradiction is this of the Divines?
A40370What also will become of all those, concerning whom Iames speaking, saith, in many things we offend all?
A40370What can any Man desire more for the security of Eternal Life?
A40370What can any Man say more expresly?
A40370What can be more plainly expressed?
A40370What can be said more evident in signification, or more clear to be understood?
A40370What can you answer me in this case?
A40370What could the bounty of God have promised more firmly, or given more largely to any Man, though he had been most Holy?
A40370What did David before he was anointed King, to deserve so great a dignity?
A40370What did God do, but what flesh could not do?
A40370What do I hear?
A40370What do I hear?
A40370What do the Works of the Iust Merit nothing in the sight of God?
A40370What do you contemplate, I beseech you, in these, but the boundless and altogether Infinite greatness of Grace?
A40370What do you say?
A40370What does the Lord himself answer to such Servants in the Gospel?
A40370What else doth Ioseph represent to us, but the sublime Son of God, dearly beloved of him?
A40370What fault I pray you did he commit in so doing?
A40370What good can your Platonick Philosophy do here?
A40370What hath he deserved?
A40370What have you, whereby you may defend this distributive Iustice?
A40370What if imitation falter sometimes and stagger?
A40370What if it seems good in the Eyes of Christ to communicate freely the glory of his Kingdom, to whom he will?
A40370What if the Spirit of Christ influencing the Hearts of his own, stirs up the Holy Offices of Charity, and excellent motions to Piety?
A40370What if the cause is enquired into, that makes us righteous before God?
A40370What if the servency of charity, and the care of our most holy Religion, and the observance of Iustice becomes too remiss?
A40370What if their manners are dissolute?
A40370What is coming to Christ, but believing?

A40370What shall we then say?
A40370What shall we therefore place our whole Iustification in those gifts received from Christ?
A40370What that 〈 ◊ 〉 wherein this our Iustification, whereof I speak, consists; in the Remission of sins only, or in the possession of Vertues?

A40370What then, say you, doth not Iustice make Men that live holily and justly in this World acceptable to God?
A40370What then, says he he?

A40370What, in propagating sin?
A40370What, say they, doth not Christ heal us just as the Brazen Serpent healed the Wounds of those that were hurt?
A40370What, say they?

A40370What?
A40370What?
A40370What?
A40370What?
A40370What?
A40370Whence then is Faith said to be lively and not Dead, but from Works?
A40370Where are the Mansions of the Everlasting Kingdom, which you assert are justly and deservedly given to holy and pure men?
A40370Where are the Works of Supererogation that are above due?
A40370Where are those feet of them, that run upon the Mountains, and bring glad tidings of Peace, if it is not lawful to publish the Righteousness of Peace?
A40370Where is Charity''s meritorious efficacy to purchase Salvation?
A40370Where is Faith accounted to Abraham for Righteousness?
A40370Where is glorying in Works excluded?
A40370Where is that Ascent into the Heavenly Kingdom, which is opened by the Merits of the greatest Vertues?
A40370Where is that Righteousness of Works which reconciles us to God, and makes us like God?
A40370Where is that Way, which is paved to Heaven for us with the excellent Merits of Works?
A40370Where is that access to the Throne with boldness?
A40370Where is that constant equity of reason, and moderation of mind free from all sin?
A40370Where is that frequent singing of Praise in the Books of the Prophets?
A40370Where is that grace, which the Sacraments confer upon us, ex opere oper ato?
A40370Where is that way so straight, that Fools can not err therein?
A40370Where then is similitude?
A40370Where then is that peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, if no Man must be assured of the favour of God?
A40370Where then is that real infusion of Vertues, as they call it?
A40370Whereas the Law was given them by Moses, do we suppose that they were utterly separated from Divine grace?
A40370Whereby hath Peace and Grace less flourished, and Iniquity more abounded in manners?
A40370Wherefore did it please him to make mention of Redemption to his Disciples without naming of Iudgment?
A40370Wherefore is it thus?
A40370Wherefore then dost thou deceive us, O Luther?
A40370Wherefore?
A40370Wherein then?
A40370Whether Faith only without Works, or Works joined together with Faith?
A40370Whether Vertues and good Works are able to stand before the Iudgment Seat of God, without being condemned according to the rigid Sentence of the Law?
A40370Whether for keeping the Law?
A40370Whether only relyance on Mercy justifies of it self?
A40370Whether then shall we believe Christ, or you?
A40370Whether through our fault, or the fault of another?
A40370Whether was it Charity, setting Faith a work, or was it not rather Faith setting Charity a work?
A40370Which also elsewhere inculcating more clearly, He says, not by works of Righteousness which we have done: How then?
A40370Which comes nearest to Evangelical Doctrine?
A40370Which if it be true, what other thing will those Men require, to make Iustification perfect?
A40370Which if it had not been so, what need had there been, why he should justifie us by Faith, whom he had seen to be righteous and perfect by Works?
A40370Which things being granted, what can the Papists say against this Assertion, concerning justifying Faith?
A40370Which though we grant to be true, what doth all this avail towards the justifying of a sinner from those Sins, that he hath formerly committed?
A40370Who are these Poor, and Blind, and Feeble, and Naked, but such as have no provision of their own Works?
A40370Who dare arrogate to himself, saith he, that which Paul himself confesses he had not attained unto?
A40370Who denies good Works, which Christ living and dwelling in us Works, to be good Works?
A40370Who denies it?

A40370Who is ignorant of, or denies that?
A40370Who then are those poor and needy, that are admitted to the Marriage?

A40370Who would desire more or greater things?
A40370Whom this Faith justifies?
A40370Whose acts for us if we consider, what is more excellent?
A40370Why did not the most gracious Father spare his Life?
A40370Why do I use many words on this matter?
A40370Why is he torn unjustly with punishments?
A40370Why is the innocent beaten with stripes?
A40370Why might not he as well write of Faith, as you of Righteousness?
A40370Why not, as well as the unrighteousness of one Adam of old was sufficient to bring ruine upon all?
A40370Why not, say you, when the Spirit of God helps?
A40370Why should I answer these men in many words?
A40370Why so I beseech you?
A40370Why so, I beseech you?
A40370Why so, Paul?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why so?
A40370Why?
A40370Why?
A40370Will they distinguish Money in this place just as they distinguish Works?
A40370Will ye forbid him?
A40370Will you deny it?
A40370Will you hear the Promise?
A40370Will you say by committing it?
A40370Will you send us to the Faith of Christ, or to the Sentence of the Law to heal our wounds?
A40370Will you shut out those from all hope of pardon?
A40370Would he have gone to him so Courteously, or invited him so lovingly?
A40370Would you in your Charity have fed him?
A40370Would you know, O Osorius?
A40370YOU will say, What then?
A40370Yea, how often and how grievously did they exasperate God with their sins?
A40370Yea, were not the Patriarchs, Prophets, and many others of the Saints adorned with the same supernatural gifts?
A40370Yea, what Nation was ever more perverse?
A40370Yea, what if somewhere a defilement of sin creeps in, as infirmity may occasion?
A40370Yea, who can come to Christ unless he first hear and understand, who he is from whom Salvation must be sought?
A40370You Sin daily, Who forgives you?
A40370You are assaulted by Temptations, but do not succumb, Who helps you?
A40370You are perpetually in danger amongst so great a Multitude that perish; Who supports you?
A40370You continue in the Faith, Who upholds you?
A40370You have, Pious Reader, an Example of very Tragical Cruelty: Now receive the Catastrophe of the Tragedy: What?
A40370You may say, to what purpose are these things?
A40370You say, Believers, and in that you say well; but how, or believing in whom?
A40370You say, we presently obtain the help of God, whereby we may most easily perform all things, that are commanded us,& c. Is it so?
A40370You who refer all to, and comprehend all in the observance and study of the Law, or he that refers unto, and comprehends all in the Faith of Christ?
A40370You will say, Why not?
A40370You will say, how can that be?
A40370You will say, what way?
A40370Your own will, or the grace of him, that hath mercy?
A40370all things?
A40370and assert that Sin is not wholly cut off?
A40370and besprinkled with faults, and spots, and need another Grace, by the commendation whereof they may be pleasing to God?
A40370and what will the Adversaries require more here?
A40370and who is not remiss sometimes?
A40370and why by the Righteousness of Faith?
A40370and will ye deny it?
A40370and you plead that we are not otherways righteous before God, than by performing the Offices of the Divine Law?
A40370because of the works that appear unto men?
A40370before God?
A40370between Grace and Debt?
A40370but because she had more sins forgiven her?
A40370but if it is not so, where is that Nakedness whereof Gregory speaks?
A40370but that he might obtain the gift of Charity for Mortal Men to perform the Law?
A40370but what will he draw from thence fit for healing his wounds?
A40370by faith?
A40370by what Reason was he persuaded?
A40370by what Scriptures, by what Masters shall this appear evident to us which you assert?
A40370by what mercy was the most gracious Father and maker of the World moved?
A40370by what necessity?
A40370by works?
A40370by your Chatholick Charity what will you say?
A40370did he mock Mankind, commanding them to do those things, which they could by no means perform?
A40370did he not first lose Paradise, before he received the promise of recovery?
A40370do you neither enter your self, nor suffer others to enter?
A40370do you perform it?
A40370doth he signifie an eternal or a temporary peace and felicity of this outward life?
A40370doth not the same Mercy freely justifie Believers?
A40370faith is imputed unto righteousness?
A40370for what end?
A40370for what need is there of remission there, where there is nothing to be forgiven?
A40370for what, say they?
A40370have ye not then, good men, read these words of the Apostle in the Holy Scriptures of God?
A40370how does he give them for our advantage?
A40370if he hath iniquity, how is he called holy?
A40370if so be they are not darkned by a Sophistical Interpretation?
A40370in such a manner, that there may be a Legality and Impunity for us to disobey the Will of his Father?
A40370is it freely, if not without Works?
A40370is it not a Pious thing?
A40370is it not very necessary for every Man, who counts his Life and Salvation dear to him, who looks for Immortal Glory?
A40370is there nothing else, I beseech you?
A40370is this your harangue, and think you this so easie to be performed?
A40370it is God that justifies, who is he that condemns?
A40370making two, of that which is but one: So that the first Iustification consists of Faith only, and the second is made up of Works?
A40370must you not here of necessity be compelled to leave the Righteousness of the Law, and presently to appeal to the Righteousness of Christ?
A40370neither is it a matter of doubt, whether the pious works of Christians are pleasing to God?
A40370nor plucked up by the roots?
A40370of which sort there are found not a few Examples in the Folds of the Lord''s Flock; what Remedy would you reach forth unto him?
A40370or are the works rather acceptable because of Faith?
A40370or how did he dye for sins, if the punishment of sin remains to be suffered again by us?
A40370or how is his strength said to be made perfect in weakness?
A40370or of that, whereby you are commanded not to covet at all?
A40370or rather that he might support his mind with the expectation of the promised consolation?
A40370or received him into his House so kindly, or entertained him at Dinner so honourably, unless he had been moved with some Affection of Love?
A40370or to what purpose should he do that for us, which he knew was necessary to be done by our selves for our Salvation?
A40370or to whom is it given, but to them that believe in Christ?
A40370or what need was there, that Faith should be accounted unto him for righteousness, who was afterwards to obtain the praise of Righteousness by Works?
A40370or what will you feign, O most dear Osorius, to this so clear evidence of manifest Scripture?
A40370or who shall glory that he is clean from sins?
A40370ours, or his own Sons?
A40370should any man require a better righteousness than that which is Christs?
A40370take away my sins; draw me from the World,& c. I beseech you, good men, what is the meaning of these Monsters of Religion?
A40370that all the remainders thereof are not extirpated?
A40370that he might stick in a trembling wavering diffidence?
A40370that the Scripture lyes, in calling them dead, which were alive?
A40370the Iust shall live by faith?
A40370the account of reward?
A40370was that rebellion peculiar to Adam, or was it ours?
A40370was there of his blood?
A40370well: But who, I beseech you, calls you back?
A40370what advantage will it be to be observant of Charity?
A40370what did he design in so doing?
A40370what do I hear?
A40370what else doth his whole life breath but mutual Charity, both towards Friends, and also towards Enemies?
A40370what if it is enslaved unto Covetousness, or some where fails in its duty?
A40370what if the mind swells with self- love, or overflows with the pride of Life?
A40370what is this so much to the purpose?
A40370what more free than Mercy freely proposed in Christ?
A40370what more stable than the faithfulness of the Promiser?
A40370what relation hath this to our Controversie?
A40370what then if I ask you of that first Command of Love, which you owe to the Lord your God with all your heart, and all the endeavour of your mind?
A40370what then is Grace if it is not a Veatue?
A40370what was the cause why the one went away justified, and the other went away unjustified?
A40370what will the Pope of Rome himself say?
A40370what will the Senatours of Trent say?
A40370what words are more perspicuous?
A40370what?
A40370when yet none were greater Strangers and Enemies to God than they?
A40370whence this cause and necessity of dying had its first original, and began to make havock?
A40370where are these new Qualities, and that Inherent Righteousness, that hath no need of remission of sins?
A40370where is the immortality proposed to vertue?
A40370which in all kind of vertues, by a constant perseverance so conforms the course of life to compleat innocency, that it never fails in any thing?
A40370which stumbles not through the whole life?
A40370who, unless they were alive, they could not bury their dead?
A40370why so?
A40370why, not by the Law?
A40370will you send him to the Law?
A40370with what Words could he more evidently shut out the endeavours and merits of all our Vertues from the Divine gift of Iustification?
A40370with what fruit?
A40370with what subtilties and distinctions do they defend their Popish Errour of Inherent Righteousness?
A40370yea also elsewhere, repeating again the same thing, tho''in different Words: How should a Man be saved, say you?
A40370yea, and Heirs?
A40370you will say, Why not?
