A91793 | 4. can you tell when God considered them out of Christ? |
A91793 | 5. is not our act of beleeving so? |
A91793 | Also whether one act of faith justifieth, or many? |
A91793 | And doth not justification imply freedom from sin? |
A91793 | And how can it be just that Christ should be punished for that which was not? |
A91793 | And if they were not just, what were they but wicked? |
A91793 | And if we were not reconciled then, why doth the Scriptures say they were? |
A91793 | And then who can tell what is truth? |
A91793 | And was not Peter a beleever when he denyed Christ, and Peter and Barnabas when they dissembled? |
A91793 | And whereas you ask what conversion that is, that is without calling? |
A91793 | Can God approve of a greater thing without faith, namely, our persons, and yet not approve of a lesser thing, namely, our actions without faith? |
A91793 | Can faith do these things for us? |
A91793 | Doth not the Apostle in these words exclude all in us, or that we do to justification? |
A91793 | For what can be more required to the justification of a ● inner before God then to be free from all sin? |
A91793 | I grant we are made partakers of the divine nature, but how? |
A91793 | If I am to beleeve I am justified, and that all my sins are forgiven me, is it true or false? |
A91793 | If any thing but Christ could save them, why not us also? |
A91793 | If faith did justifie us, would it not follow that faith were greater, and more to be prized then love? |

A91793 | If he did not present our persons? |
A91793 | If some of it be false, why not the rest also? |
A91793 | If to declare one to be just, doth make him so; is it not good to justifie the wicked, and their actions? |

A91793 | So also you say, that faith is a cause of justification: do not our eternall happinesse depend upon our reconciliation and justification? |
A91793 | So you ask where is life, and where is peace till faith comes? |
A91793 | The Scripture saith, that Christ dwels in our hearts by faith: but where doth it say, that we are in Christ by faith? |
A91793 | Then men are not justified by faith; for if they be called, they beleeve: or how else are they called? |
A91793 | There is no blood in faith; and if faith, or any thing else could pardon one fin, why not two, and why not all? |

A91793 | What then doth it mean, tell me what is he that is perfected? |
A91793 | What then shall we sunne, because we are not under the law but ungrace? |
A91793 | Why is God said to be wroth with the same Ephesians whilest out of Christ? |
A91793 | Will it not then follow upon your grant, that the elect were then reconciled? |
A91793 | and do you ascribe these, and the like to faith? |
A91793 | and how was all things accomplished, and finished, if our justification were not finished? |
A91793 | and if it may abide in the soul one houre, and not act, why not two, and so two seven yeers? |
A91793 | and whether this is for his honour or no? |
A91793 | doth not Daniel include his most holy acts, when he names his righteousnesses? |
A91793 | he that beleeves hath it, but what is this to union with Christ, or the time of union? |

A91793 | most not he that is free from all sin, of necessity appear just, to him that knows he is so? |
A91793 | that is glorious in his apparell, travelling in the greatnesse of his strength? |
A91793 | what marrow and fatnesse is here, what sweetnesse is like to this, to all that beleeve? |
A91793 | wherefore do ye doubt, O ye of little faith? |
A91793 | yea, and how were they layed upon him, if they were never taken from us,( or taken from us) and layed upon us again? |
A91793 | ● o you appeal to the world f ● r the truth of what you say: I say, i ● they do not justifie you, who will? |
A50251 | 1, 2, 3, But many have the word, and yet never attain to faith, What may be the reason herof? |
A50251 | 14. who can dwell with that devouring fyre? |
A50251 | 20. can any man imagin that here to bear iniquity should signifie to bear it away from himself or from another? |
A50251 | 21. he was made sinn for us, God hath laid on him the iniquity of us all? |
A50251 | 26. but how could he be so, if he should justifie us otherwise then by a righteousness which is exact& perfect? |
A50251 | 29. when hee giveth quietness, who can make trouble? |
A50251 | 44. how c ● … n ● … ee believe, who seek honour one of another, an ● … seek not the honour ● … t commeth from God only? |
A50251 | And how is that meant, when faith is said to be imputed? |
A50251 | And if the question be, But how may I do to believe? |
A50251 | And is it possible they should have any faith, or any true desire of faith, who do no more esteem the meanes therof? |
A50251 | And therfore wheras the poor soul saith, dare I believe? |
A50251 | And what may bee thought of them that despise the ministers of the Gospel? |
A50251 | And yet communicated it must be, else how shall wee be justified by it? |
A50251 | Answ: This will not follow neither: For, can not God love with a love of purpose, but all the effects of that love must needs be exhibited forthwith? |
A50251 | But do you think that Satan will rest here? |
A50251 | But how can this stand with justice, that our sinns, should bee imputed to Christ, and he be punished for them? |
A50251 | But if God do justifie his servants, what need they to bee much troubled, though the world do censure& condemn them? |
A50251 | But if the word be the means of faith, what shall become of Infants, Idiots,& deaf people that can not make use of the means? |
A50251 | But now this also may be questioned by some, Whether our sinns were imputed to Christ? |
A50251 | But what is the work of the Gospel in the begetting of faith? |
A50251 | But what need; much to be said for the comforting of believers? |
A50251 | But what shall be said to Abram, Isaak, Jacob, David, and the rest of the Saints, that lived long afore the Incarnation of Christ? |
A50251 | By what means may this faith be attained? |
A50251 | Did Abram never believe afore now? |
A50251 | For are we not all believers in Christ? |
A50251 | For it seems God doth not save us without satisfaction to himself? |
A50251 | For the explication of this point, it may first of all be demanded, What is the Gospel? |
A50251 | For the meaning of the words; It may be first of all demanded, VVhat is me ● … t by Abrams believing in the LORD? |
A50251 | For who can clear a man but the Judg? |
A50251 | How beautifull are the feet of such men? |

A50251 | How then may faith& justification be known, that one may have the comfort of the same? |
A50251 | If God do give them faith, and therby do justifie them and pardon their sins, why do they not know it? |
A50251 | If a man be justified in the sight of God when he doth believe and was not so before, then it may seem that God is changed? |
A50251 | If a rich man would bestow some precious pearl that is worth thousands, and thousands of pounds? |
A50251 | If any ask, What should be the reason that when God worketh faith, he should ordinarily& usually do it by his word, and not otherwise? |
A50251 | If then the righteousness of Christ be imputed to us, What was that righteousness of Christ that is imputed? |
A50251 | If this righteousness be imputed to us, doth it not then follow that we are as righteous as Christ? |
A50251 | It is God tha ● … justifieth, who is he that condem ● … th? |
A50251 | May I? |
A50251 | May not faith be wrought by the Law? |
A50251 | Now how are we made sinners by the sinn of Adam? |
A50251 | Now how was Christ made a sinner by our sinn? |
A50251 | Now what is the Gospel, but the doctrine or glad tidings of salvation by Christ? |
A50251 | Reas: 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? |
A50251 | So 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? |
A50251 | VVhat needs this? |
A50251 | VVhat shall then be thought of them that lightly esteem the word of God? |
A50251 | VVhy then is this mentioned now, as if he had not been a justified believer before? |
A50251 | What can be more free then gift? |
A50251 | What though there be righteousness and merit inough in Christ? |
A50251 | and how commeth it to pass that they are pardoned& justified in heaven, and not in their own consciences also? |
A50251 | and that every believer is a redeemer and saviour of others? |
A50251 | and that the act of faith as it justifieth, is not of the will in receiving Christ, or adhering to Christ, but only an assent of the understanding? |
A50251 | and whether he bare any punishment due to us for our sinns? |
A50251 | can it stand with justice that one should be punished for anothers sin and the innocent for the guilty? |
A50251 | dáre I, saith the soul, apprehend the promise and receive Christ? |
A50251 | how shall he build his house upon the rock, as long as the sand is not by deep digging removed and cast away? |
A50251 | may I do it? |
A50251 | may I do the will of God? |
A50251 | we sure are not Infidels? |
A50251 | which is as if one should say, may I obey the Commandement of God? |
A50251 | who can forgive the debt but the creditor? |
A50251 | who can stand with those everlasting burnings? |
A50251 | will not they be forward of themselves to take the comfort of their justification? |
A30137 | A type in what? |
A30137 | Again, what is man that he should be clean? |
A30137 | And are you able thus to imitate him? |
A30137 | And though he did so many Miracles among them, yet they believed him not: But what should they believe? |
A30137 | And will God indeed dwell with Men on the Earth, faith Solomon? |
A30137 | And would you be doing this? |
A30137 | Any thing but truth; But I would know how sincerely Righteous they were that were Justified without Works? |
A30137 | As to the Second Head ▪ What need is there, that the Righteousness of Christ should be Imputed, where men are Righteous first? |
A30137 | Believing what? |
A30137 | Besides, the threatning being pressed with an HOW shall we escape? |
A30137 | But doth not a man bring forth fruit unto God, that walketh orderly according to the ten Commandments? |
A30137 | But hath he no better thoughts of his own good deeds, which are by the Law? |
A30137 | But how are we by this Man forgiven this? |
A30137 | But how then must Jesus Christ, first save us from the Filth? |
A30137 | But might they not be healed by humbling themselves? |
A30137 | But now I would inquire; Had Israel done the Commandment, if they had eaten the Passover Raw; or Boiled in Water? |
A30137 | But shall I speak the truth for you? |
A30137 | But what Blessedness doth follow, the Imputation of the Righteousness of Christ, to one that is yet Ungodly? |
A30137 | But 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? |
A30137 | But what Salvation? |
A30137 | But what be these certain Circumstances? |
A30137 | But what be these other Precepts? |
A30137 | But what if they that were Stung, could not, because of the swelling of their face, look up to the Brazen Serpent? |
A30137 | But what is it to believe that he is Messias, or Christ? |

A30137 | But what is 〈 ◊ 〉 to believe in Christ? |
A30137 | But what saith the Apostle? |
A30137 | But what things are they? |
A30137 | But would you be imitating of, or accompishing such a Righteousness? |
A30137 | Did I say before that the God of Glory is desirous to be seen of us? |
A30137 | For, while a Man remains faithless and ignorant of the Gospel, to what doth his obedient temper of mind incline? |
A30137 | Have I been so long time with you, saith Christ, and hast thou not known me Philip? |
A30137 | He hath made Peace by the Blood of his Cross: so then, Faith in the first place seeketh Peace: But why Peace First? |
A30137 | He that is Ungodly hath a want of Righteousness, even of the inward Righteousness of Works: But what must become of him? |
A30137 | Here now is a Man an Hungred; what must he feed upon? |
A30137 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
A30137 | How then, if God should cast you into Turky, where Mahomet Reigns as Lord? |
A30137 | How then? |
A30137 | I know not; But thus I Read, We shall be like him: Why? |
A30137 | I marvel what injury the Lord Jesus hath done this man, that he should have such indifferent thought of coming to God by him? |
A30137 | Miracles and Signs are for them that believe not: Why for them? |
A30137 | Now 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? |
A30137 | Now this righteousness, the Apostle casteth away, as was shewed before; not having mine own righteousness,( saith he) which is of the law; why? |
A30137 | Observe; I am commanded to believe, but what should I believe? |
A30137 | Or, what if a Man should act now as a Son, rather then simply as a Creature indued with a Principle of Reason? |
A30137 | Ought not Christ to have suffered? |
A30137 | Such as are self- evident or evident of themselves; to what? |
A30137 | Tell me, I say, by this Text, whether is here intended the Sins of all that shall be saved? |
A30137 | The Jews came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? |
A30137 | The forgiveness of Sins: But what is meant by forgiveness? |
A30137 | This onely would I learn of you; Received you the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith? |
A30137 | To the Romans, I beseech you therefore, saith he, by the Mercies of God;( What Mercies? |
A30137 | Was the Serpent then lifted up for them that were good and Godly? |

A30137 | Who they are that hold, our Happiness in Heaven, shall come by a meer fixing our Eyes upon the Divine Perfections? |
A30137 | Why Salvation? |
A30137 | Why do they believe in Christ? |
A30137 | Why? |
A30137 | Why? |
A30137 | Why? |
A30137 | and what to have faith in his Blood? |
A30137 | hath the Ministration of God no Glory? |
A30137 | or he that is born of a Woman, that he should be holy? |
A30137 | or how sincerely Righteous they were, whom God Justified, as Ungodly? |
A30137 | or how? |
A30137 | or if they had offered that Offering; that was to be burnt as a Sin Offering, otherwise then it was commanded? |
A30137 | or what should be the object of my Faith in the matter of my justification with God? |
A30137 | to what value will an imputative Righteousness amount? |
A30137 | where? |
A30137 | wherefore? |
A53686 | 14. or what shall we say unto these things, or this is that which is to be said herein? |
A53686 | 22.36, Which is the great Commandment in the Law? |
A53686 | And Judah said, what shall we say unto my Lord? |
A53686 | And 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? |
A53686 | And were it possible, where is the Righteousness of punishing any one for that which no way belongs unto him? |
A53686 | At least he might plead his Faith as his own Duty and Work, to be imputed unto him for Righteousness? |
A53686 | But how is this proved? |
A53686 | But what if all this should prove a wilful prevarication, not becoming a Good man, much less a Minister of the Gospel? |
A53686 | But what will ensue on this Explanation of the Acceptance of our imperfect Righteousness unto Justification upon the merit of Christ? |
A53686 | But why so, why must we assent to one part of the Gospel unto the exclusion of another? |
A53686 | But wilt thou know O vain man that Faith without Works is dead? |
A53686 | By what Right? |
A53686 | Can we not be pardoned, but we must thereby of necessity be made Sons, Heirs of God, and Coheirs with Christ? |
A53686 | Credisne te non posse salvari nisi per mortem Christi? |
A53686 | Cur non dixerit tanto praestantioris foederis factus est sacerdos Jesus? |
A53686 | Did he thereby make, declare or constitute him righteous? |
A53686 | Do they leave the prayer of the Publican, and betake themselves unto that of the Pharisee? |
A53686 | Do they plead their own Righteousness, Obedience, and Duties to this purpose? |
A53686 | Do we make void the Law through Faith? |
A53686 | Do we saith the Apostle( by the Doctrine of Justification by Faith without Works) make void the Law? |
A53686 | Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
A53686 | Doth any other thought enter into their Hearts? |
A53686 | Doth the Gospel require a lower degree of Love to God, a less perfect Love than the Law did? |
A53686 | For 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? |
A53686 | For how shall man be just with God? |
A53686 | For unto what purpose is it to contend about them, whilst the substance of the Doctrine it self is openly opposed and rejected? |
A53686 | For what else could hide or cover our sins but his Righteousness? |
A53686 | For what need can there be of any of them, if God justifieth the ungodly? |
A53686 | For what should justifie him whom the Gospel condemns? |
A53686 | For what should they else do, when they knew well enough, that in their way, and by their propositions they were not to be attained? |
A53686 | For who shall lay any thing unto the charge of Gods Elect, who are once justified before him? |
A53686 | For without Faith it is impossible to please God: And to what purpose should the Apostle exclude evil works and hypocritical, from our Justification? |
A53686 | How shall we answer what is laid unto our Charge? |
A53686 | How shall we fly from the wrath to come? |
A53686 | How shall we that are dead unto sin, live any longer therein? |
A53686 | How then are we made the Righteousness of God in him? |
A53686 | How then did he make our sins to be his own, and how did he bear our Iniquities? |
A53686 | How then was he Justified by Works when he offered his Son on the Altar? |
A53686 | How? |
A53686 | I ask again what they think hereof; And upon a supposition that he will do so, what they further think will become of themselves? |
A53686 | If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquities, O Lord, who should stand? |
A53686 | If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquity, O Lord who shall stand? |
A53686 | Is it any thing but Soveraign Grace and Mercy, through the Blood of Christ? |
A53686 | It is the Answer of the Apostles unto the Jaylors enquiry; Sirs, What must I do to be saved? |
A53686 | Murmuret jam quantum voluerit, insipiens cogitatio mea, dicens Quis enim es tu,& quanta est illa gloria, quibusve meritis hanc obtinere speras? |
A53686 | My Enquiry is how I shall come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God? |
A53686 | Of him will I beg pardon, of him will I desire Indulgence, what other hope is there for sinners? |
A53686 | Quae autem est spes? |
A53686 | Quid potest esse omnis humana justitia coram Deo? |
A53686 | Quomodo ergo dicit delictorum meorum? |
A53686 | Secondly, The Apostle answers, as we do also, Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
A53686 | That he is so, there can be no question, the whole enquiry is, how he is so? |
A53686 | That is, Dost thou believe that thou canst not be saved but by the death of Christ? |
A53686 | The Question was now reduced unto this; on what Grounds he might or could be justified in the sight of God? |
A53686 | The sinners in Sion are afraid, fearfulness hath surprized the Hypocrites, who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? |
A53686 | This Relief it will be said, is to be had in Christ alone; it is true, but under what Consideration? |
A53686 | Was it not free unto God to appoint what way, method and order he would, whereby these things should be communicated unto us? |
A53686 | Was not Abraham our Father justified by Works, when he had offered Isaac his Son upon the Altar? |
A53686 | What Works? |
A53686 | What doth it profit my Brethren though a man say he hath Faith and have not Works, can Faith save him? |
A53686 | What follow unto the same purpose he omits, and what he adds as my words are not so, but his own, ubi pudor, ubi sides? |
A53686 | What must I do to be saved? |
A53686 | What shall we do to be saved? |
A53686 | What shall we do to be saved? |
A53686 | What shall we say then, shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A53686 | What shall we then say? |
A53686 | What will follow from hence? |
A53686 | Whence the Prophet says in the Psalm, If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, who should stand? |
A53686 | Where then is Boasting? |
A53686 | Where then, they will say, is the necessity of Obedience from the Obligation of the Law, if God will not damn them that Transgress it? |
A53686 | Wherewith( saith one of them) shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God? |
A53686 | Wherewithall shall we appear before God? |
A53686 | Who 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? |
A53686 | how shall I escape the wrath to come? |
A53686 | in whom else could we wicked and ungodly ones be justified, or esteemed Righteous, but in the Son of God alone? |
A53686 | it is excluded, by what Law? |
A53686 | shall I come before him with Burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old? |
A53686 | that is, is there in this matter unrighteousness with God? |
A53686 | what shall I plead in judgment before God, that I may be absolved, acquitted, justified? |
A53686 | what shall we speak 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 and how shall we justify our selves, God hath found out our Iniquity? |
A53686 | where shall I have a Righteousness that will endure a Trial in his presence? |
A53686 | who among us shall dwell with Everlasting burnings? |
A53686 | why should we debate about the order and beautifying of the Rooms in an House, whilst Fire is set unto the whole? |
A53686 | will indeed this Faith save him? |
A53686 | will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl? |
A07838 | A Beleeuer, and yet a deuill? |
A07838 | A bare Historie only? |
A07838 | A deepe Diuine; and worldly minded? |
A07838 | A faire Marchant, and yet a very merchant? |
A07838 | An experienced Phisitian; and yet a daily Tobacconist? |
A07838 | An expert Lawyer, and yet a corrupt Iudge? |
A07838 | And as touching faith: Are only good said in the Scriptures to beleeue? |
A07838 | And 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? |
A07838 | And 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? |
A07838 | And must we beleeue the gospel? |
A07838 | And rightly, for the word implieth, a Quis sicut Deus? |
A07838 | And therefore though they beleeued, yet they said, what haue wee to doe with thee Iesu thou Sonne of God? |
A07838 | And what an horrible feare expresse they in their demeanour? |
A07838 | And what are those things, which hereafter we expect? |
A07838 | And 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? |
A07838 | Are these good things, remission of sinnes, iustification, and the rest? |
A07838 | Are they confirmations vnto vs, that y Christ was about 30. yeares olde when he was baptized? |
A07838 | At length hee addeth, Numquid dicuntur credere soli boni? |
A07838 | Blind Bellarmine,( for who so blind as he that will not see?) |
A07838 | But how that? |
A07838 | But let vs beleeue so, as wee may beleeue in him, and loue him: Et non dicamus, Quid nobis& tibi est? |
A07838 | But poore old man, what can he do, where the Pope himselfe d ● ● eth not stirre the coales? |
A07838 | But shall I, nay, may I dare to smoother the words that there follow? |
A07838 | But what is to be said to those setled pillars of Papacie? |
A07838 | But what saith S. Augustine? |
A07838 | But what saith S. Hierome? |
A07838 | But whereunto now tendeth this dolefull treatie of Afflictions? |
A07838 | Can any man be incorporated into the members of Christ, that doth not by faith entertaine Christ for his head? |
A07838 | Can any man with comfort goe towards Christ, who is not aforehand perswaded, that Christ will looke comfortably towards him? |
A07838 | Deus tibi de hoc mundo recedenti immortalitatem pollicetur atque aeternitatem,& tu dubitas? |
A07838 | Did Paul euer speake more applicatiuely of Christ to himselfe? |
A07838 | Doe they seale vp vnto vs the truth of the storie? |
A07838 | Doth the Gospel bring good tidings to vs of good things that haue betided vs? |
A07838 | Doth the Gospel tell vs that wee haue receiued these benefits without our labour, and without our merit freely of the grace of God? |
A07838 | For 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? |
A07838 | For else, how can any man be made righteous by the merits of Christ, if those merits of Christ belong not to him? |
A07838 | For why? |
A07838 | For, l If God be on our side, who can be against vs? |
A07838 | God promiseth to thee when thou departest out of the world immortalitie, and eternitie, and doest thou doubt of possession? |
A07838 | Good S. Iames, doest thou not speake contraries? |
A07838 | Hee that will cast his eies vp and downe in the world, shall he not see a good Statesman, and yet a meere Atheist? |
A07838 | How is faith the substance of those things? |
A07838 | How is it certaine? |
A07838 | How shortly are the Sermons of m Ionah, of n Iohn the Baptist, yea of o Christ himselfe reported? |
A07838 | How will these two stand together, beleeuing and trembling? |
A07838 | I conclude then: Is to beleeue in God, to beleeue and loue him? |
A07838 | I demand then; Can any man heartely and soundly loue Christ, who hath not some perswasion that Christ loueth him? |
A07838 | Iacobus Latomus, s who died in desperation, crying out that he was damned for resisting the knowne truth? |
A07838 | If they be at peace with God, what cause haue they to feare? |
A07838 | If they beleeue, why doe they tremble? |
A07838 | If they tremble, how doe they beleeue? |
A07838 | Is Confidence such a thing, and is faith confidence? |
A07838 | Is it so? |
A07838 | Is not this to beleeue more then the storie? |
A07838 | Is to beleeue in God, to cast our hope vpon him? |
A07838 | Is to beleeue in God, to repose vpon him the confidence of our happinesse? |
A07838 | Lastly, is to beleeue in God, deuoutly to trust in him? |
A07838 | Nay, is not this to take home the Gospel to our selues? |
A07838 | No more then that there was a God? |
A07838 | Now doth God speake to thee, and giue thee his promise, and doest thou with an vnbeleeuing heart doubt of performance? |
A07838 | Now, what is the Gospell? |
A07838 | Now, who can by faith repose vpon God the confidence of his happinesse, which is not by the same faith assured of his mercie? |
A07838 | On the other side, if they beleeue, then what need they tremble? |
A07838 | Pugnantia loqueris Iacobe? |
A07838 | Quia cùm credam Deum esse,& illum Deum meum esse, Patrem meum, Dominum meum,& c. Thou shalt not ouercome me: for why? |
A07838 | Secondly, they would fai ● ● turne him off hand: m Quid nobis& tibi? |
A07838 | Sed 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? |
A07838 | Shall they professe nothing of the holy Ghost, of remission of ● ● nes? |
A07838 | The Deuills feare and tremble: but how? |
A07838 | The Substance: how is that? |
A07838 | The children of God feare also, but how? |
A07838 | Therefore how can the Deuills but tremble continually? |
A07838 | Thirdly, they feare present execution: Art thou come hither to torment vs before the time? |
A07838 | Thus hee saith; Quid est ergo credere in eum? |
A07838 | To what ende serueth such wa ● t of time and labour? |
A07838 | What Protestant euer applyed Christs benefits neerer to his owne vse? |
A07838 | What beleeued he? |
A07838 | What can be spoken in words more patheticall, in sense more applicatiue, in faith more apprehensiue? |
A07838 | What can bee more plain ● e? |
A07838 | What did Paul affirme more of the Church in generall, then this man of himselfe in particular? |
A07838 | What difference then in this behalfe, betweene the holy Saints of God, and the damned fiends of hell? |
A07838 | What haue wee to doe with thee? |
A07838 | What is that? |
A07838 | What is then to beleeue in God? |
A07838 | What manner of faith doe they seale vp, and confirme in our hearts? |
A07838 | What may we call the Gospell? |
A07838 | What then need they feare? |
A07838 | What? |
A07838 | What? |
A07838 | Why? |
A07838 | doth faith euen while we liue here giue a certen kind of being to those things in our hearts, the fruition whereof we afterward expect? |
A07838 | of the doctrine which is taught vnto vs. Now vpon what doctrine hath faith his foundation? |
A07838 | or a bare historicall narration of things done and passed? |
A07838 | s Qualis est illa fides:( saith one of their owne) quae mortua est, formaque sua caret? |
A07838 | that he z was tempted in the wildernesse? |
A07838 | that hee a raised Iairus daughter, that hee b preached in the Synagogue, that he c washed his disciples feete, or such like? |
A07838 | that is, can such a kinde of faith saue him? |
A07838 | to vs. And must we beleeue the Gospell? |
A07838 | vpon the doctrine of the Law? |
A07838 | what is it therefore to beleeue in him? |
A07838 | what manner of faith is that which wanteth both life and forme? |
A07838 | who 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? |
A39120 | 1. e Ubi tuta firmaque infirmis securitas& requies nisi in vulneribus salvatorū? |
A39120 | A late Writer sayes well, Why may not Christians and Schollars write plainly against one anothers Judgement, with a loving consent? |
A39120 | And can there be Faith without knowledge? |
A39120 | And if so, how can they, who conceive not of things Natural, understand those things that are Heavenly and Spiritual? |
A39120 | And what do our Brethren say less less then this? |
A39120 | And why not? |
A39120 | And( 3) when we are justified in the sight of God? |
A39120 | Are not Faith and Repentance, the fruits of our Reconciliation, by the blood of Christ? |
A39120 | But doth the Apostle account neither of these Justifications much worth? |
A39120 | But in earnest is Mr. Baxters Doctrine of a middle strain? |
A39120 | But is the Gospel to be charged with these Dissentions? |
A39120 | But what are the three things which he finds in these Texts to ground his charge on? |
A39120 | But why not immediately and absolutely? |
A39120 | But will it follow from hence, That all Publick Disputations, and Reasonings about matters of Faith, are perverse Disputings? |
A39120 | By his favor, who did ever say ▪ that men are damned for not being objects of an Absolute Promise? |
A39120 | Could they have returned to God, unless God had returned to them*? |
A39120 | Dost 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? |
A39120 | Doth he think this Sermon such a solid peece, that all men living will be struck dumb therewith? |
A39120 | Ergo, We were not elected before Faith? |
A39120 | Faith is the evidence of things not seen; An unsound Assertion? |
A39120 | For( 1) how doth the riches of Gods grace appear, if our Justification doth depend upon terms and conditions, performed by us? |
A39120 | Had Parker, Twisse, Pemble,& c. nothing at all to say in defence of their Doctrine? |
A39120 | Hath Mr. Woodbridges humanity no better language to bestow upon them? |
A39120 | Have all those Reverend Divines before mentioned, obscured the Gospel? |
A39120 | He 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? |
A39120 | How doth this sow pillows under mens elbows, or lull asleep in security, more then the Doctrine of absolute Election? |
A39120 | How shall we distinguish between precepts and promises? |
A39120 | If 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? |
A39120 | If it includes the rest, why not this? |
A39120 | Is he therefore joyned with God in the formal act of Justification? |
A39120 | Is it an irrational thing to receive life, as a gift, and not as wages? |
A39120 | It were very strange, if the Mercy and Faithfulness of God, should not be as sure a Foundation to relie upon, as our own Works? |
A39120 | MR. 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? |
A39120 | May not God in the same Covenant, promise both Christ and Faith? |
A39120 | Mr. W. demands,( 1) Whether there be an absolute promise made to every man, that God will give him grace? |
A39120 | Now had he no works of the New Law, as you call them? |
A39120 | Now shall we hence infer, That God was not just before? |
A39120 | Now were all these Champions of Truth, a pack of Antinomians and Libertines? |
A39120 | Now what can be imagined more derogatory to the Grace of God? |
A39120 | Now, what is this to the purpose? |
A39120 | Now, when God set his love upon them, he said unto them, Live? |
A39120 | O man, who art thou that disputest against God? |
A39120 | Or can he judge of mens Answers before he hath heard them? |
A39120 | Or ought we therefore to forbear to Preach the Gospel? |
A39120 | So say I, Why may we not Reason against each others Opinions in a friendly manner? |
A39120 | THat we may avoid mistakes, I shall briefly declare,( 1) What we do understand by Justification? |
A39120 | THe Question depending between me, and Mr. W. is not, Whether we are justified by Faith? |
A39120 | That the Promise was to them, and to their children: Now what was that Promise, but Ero Deus tuus& seminis tui? |
A39120 | That the spirit, which works Faith is given us by vertue of the Covenant made with us; But how doth Mr. W. prove the contradiction? |
A39120 | The 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? |
A39120 | The next thing propounded was, What is meant by the sight of God? |
A39120 | Was it ever known that men should be counted worthy of death, for not being the objects of an absolute Promise? |
A39120 | Was the Apostle to be charged with perverseness when he reasoned both with Jews and Gentiles, as his manner was? |
A39120 | Was this famous Doctor an Antinomian? |
A39120 | What is it to die, or to bear chastisement for another, but to undergo that death which the other should have undergone? |
A39120 | Whence have the Saints drawn all their comfort? |
A39120 | Whether Faith therein, be to be taken Properly, or Tropically? |
A39120 | Whether God were wel- pleased with unregenerate men? |
A39120 | Will it follow, That because the Elect are justified in for ● Dei, before they believe; therefore all men are redeemed, and justified? |
A39120 | Would not all men have censured his Writings to be but strifes of words? |
A39120 | and is not the Spirit in that act, the cause of Faith? |
A39120 | g or that Gods justice was a consequent of his sending Christ? |
A39120 | how can we hope, and trust in him? |
A39120 | how can we rejoyce or be thankful to him, if we be not perswaded of his love, and bounty towards us? |
A39120 | or, whether this immanent act of God doth not secure the sinner from condemnation? |
A39120 | p. 282: In hunc modum si distrahatur salutis fiducia, nihil poterit, quàm vacillare; quid hoc aliud est quàm subvertere ab imo fundamentum? |

A03586 | And darest thou yet set foot in the church? |

A03586 | And shall I thinke because of this only error, that such a man toucheth not so much as the hemme of Christs garment? |
A03586 | And shall the righteous be overborne, shal they be compast about by the wicked? |

A03586 | Because I adde, doe I therefore deny that which I did directlie affirme? |
A03586 | Because his errour doth by consequent overthrow his faith? |
A03586 | But how many were there amōgst our fathers, who being seduced by the common errour of that Church, never knew the meaning of her heresies? |

A03586 | Did not Peter? |
A03586 | Did they lament with the righteous Apostle: O miserable men, the good which we wish, and purpose, and striue to do, we can not? |
A03586 | Did they that hold without works that we are not iustified, take iustification so as it may also imply sanctificatiō? |

A03586 | Whom God hath iustified, hath not Christ assured that it is his Fathers will to giue them a kingdome? |
A03586 | Why is it not then confessed that thousands of our fathers which liued in Popish superstitions, might yet by the mercy of God be saved? |
A03586 | Yea, might wee not with as great reason affirme, that a man may put three mighty oakes wheresoever three akornes may be put? |

A66344 | An opera bona,& c. Are the Good Works of Men truly and properly the Merits of Eternal Life? |
A66344 | And I might shew, that in Justification is a Right to Impunity; And can any thing but a Law give this? |

A66344 | But is the Gospel therefore no Law, or only this Law of Nature? |
A66344 | But is there no distinction admittable in the word Life? |
A66344 | But not dangerous: But they are not Sins before committed, and pray whose Sins hurt them before they are committed? |
A66344 | But shall none be saved if they are not baptized, thô they do believe? |
A66344 | But what should induce me to juggle or equivocate? |
A66344 | But why are Gospel- Threatnings a Bull? |
A66344 | But why must it needs become a Law or Covenant of Works meerly by a Sanction? |
A66344 | But, by what words can I express my own Judgment more fully then? |
A66344 | By what Law? |
A66344 | Can any Malefactor expect Peace with his Sword in his Hand? |
A66344 | Can 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? |
A66344 | Can it be an Effect of Infinite Power, and make no change in the principle of our Actings? |
A66344 | Consider these, with many such, and what good can Faith or Holiness do us? |
A66344 | Dare we say to them after Death, If you will now believe, you shall yet be saved; turn now, and you shall yet live? |
A66344 | Did God decree, and did Christ merit that the Elect might be only capable of being forgiven if they do believe? |
A66344 | Did that Law ever promise Union with Christ, or the indwelling Spirit, or Forgiveness of Sin, or Perseverance? |
A66344 | Do I then oppose Christ, or compare any Holiness with him? |
A66344 | Do not some of the Subscribers recant? |
A66344 | Do not you trust in your own inherent Righteousness, as that for which God will save you? |
A66344 | Do our Works truly and properly make satisfaction to God, for that Obligation to Punishment which remaineth to be expiated? |
A66344 | Do we believe before we are made a willing People? |
A66344 | Do you mean, the Elect shall never come to God''s Bar of Judgment before they believe, and are forgiven? |
A66344 | Do 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? |
A66344 | Doth God dispense Faith blindly,& c? |
A66344 | Doth God make our Faith or Sincerity to be our Justifying Righteousness? |
A66344 | Doth God require these of us to this end in the Law of Adam, or in the Gospel? |
A66344 | Doth a true Uniting Faith exclude Christ''s Righteousness, or include it? |
A66344 | Doth not the Precept determine the nature and measure of Omissions, and the prohibition fix what are Sins of Commission? |
A66344 | Doth not the Rule determine what the kind, duration, and degrees of Misery shall be, and on whom it shall fall? |
A66344 | For what doth God forgive our Sins? |
A66344 | Forgiveness, Adoption, Glory, or any other promised Benefit given upon God''s Terms? |
A66344 | Hath God appointed Faith by his Command to be a* federal Instrument to receive Christ''s Righteousness? |
A66344 | Hath the Gospel Covenant no Sanction? |
A66344 | Have not we God''s Word, Oath, and Seals for this? |
A66344 | Have we a Right to Forgiveness for Christ''s sake upon our believing? |
A66344 | Have we not an Interest in Christ, as Members of him, before we do believe? |
A66344 | Have you the Wedding- Garment of Faith and Holiness? |
A66344 | How can it be a Faith unfe ● … gned, while Villany and Hypocrisie reign in the Soul? |
A66344 | How come we to believe? |
A66344 | How could Paul answer the Goaler''s Question, What shall I do to be saved? |
A66344 | How could Peter say, Repent, and be baptized for the remission of Sin,& c. when the People cried, What shall we do? |
A66344 | How dare these men pretend to agree with our Orthodox Divines, when they are so plain against them? |
A66344 | How is the Grace of God,& c? |
A66344 | How long must I stay for an Answer, if I ask what kind of Cause is Pardon? |
A66344 | How shall poor Creatures make out their Interest therein, unless God hath declared upon what Conditions we shall be possest of the Priviledges,& c? |
A66344 | I deny that Faith,& c. are in the same place as Works were under the Law, How many more places could I cite? |
A66344 | I had said, that the Promises of the First Grace were pleadable only by Christ, as the stipulating Party: And what''s that to Redemption? |
A66344 | I 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? |
A66344 | I say the same, but yet I ask, Will Christ justifie me if I do not receive him? |
A66344 | If any one should object, Did not the Law of Nature bind us to do whatever God should at any time require? |
A66344 | In 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? |
A66344 | Is Faith, or any Act of ours, a foreseen Motive to encline God to purpose, offer, or give us Forgiveness for it? |
A66344 | Is Faith, or any Act of ours, any Price of Forgiveness? |
A66344 | Is Faith- Love to God of that use, to receive Christ for our Justification, as Faith in Christ is? |
A66344 | Is Holiness as meritorious of Salvation as Christ''s Satisfaction is? |
A66344 | Is here no change? |
A66344 | Is it a receiving of Christ, while the Heart is yet under an utter aversion to him? |
A66344 | Is 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? |
A66344 | Is it a vital Act before Life? |
A66344 | Is it an Act of an enlighten''d Mind, before the Mind be enlighten''d? |
A66344 | Is it an Act of the Will, before the Will be at all determined by Grace? |
A66344 | Is it any thing in the nature of Faith, as a Work whereby a Believer comes to be forgiven, rather than an Unbeliever? |
A66344 | Is it every Sin will do this? |
A66344 | Is it excluded? |
A66344 | Is it for want of Mercy, Goodness, Grace, or Patience in God? |
A66344 | Is it for want of the mightiest Encouragements, and most infallible Assurances, that with God there is Forgiveness? |
A66344 | Is it the Counsel of a Fellow- Subject? |
A66344 | Is it the Faith of God''s Elect, when it proceeds from an unregenerate Heart? |
A66344 | Is it the Righteousness of Works, or the Righteousness of Christ? |
A66344 | Is it through any defect in the Mediation of the Lord Christ? |
A66344 | Is not Faith, or any thing in Man, the Cause of Forgiveness? |
A66344 | Is not a Believer pardoned, before he can put forth any other Act of Obedience? |
A66344 | Is not it a Duty here to be baptized? |
A66344 | Is not norma judicii, a Rule of Judgment, as well related to Condemnation as Absolution? |
A66344 | Is not receiving Christ an Action? |
A66344 | Is not that Sign or Instrument whereby God requires these things, to this end, a Law of God? |
A66344 | Is not there the written Mosaick Law set in opposition to the Law of Nature unwritten? |
A66344 | Is not this a new and singular Gospel? |
A66344 | Is not this to spit in the Face of the most of the Bible? |
A66344 | Is our Faith the Righteousness for or by which we are forgiven? |
A66344 | Is there no Gospel mitigation, so as to admit sincere Grace to be true Grace, tho''it be not perfect Grace? |
A66344 | Is there not a fulness in Christ for Sinners before they make use of it? |
A66344 | Is this any sort of Faith? |
A66344 | It''s said of some, He will laugh at their Calamity,& c. But who are they? |
A66344 | Keep to this Rule when you speak of being justified by Faith, and what will become of the Object justifying? |
A66344 | May not I now expect, that People that rail at me will impute to me only what I thus plainly state? |
A66344 | Must not we receive Forgiveness before we receive Christ himself? |
A66344 | Nay, what are the serious Pleas of Ministers with every Soul, to believe and repent? |
A66344 | Now Reader, can this one line make all the rest safe? |
A66344 | Or can that Principle be, and yet have place neither in Understanding or Will? |
A66344 | Or from the Law of Works? |
A66344 | Or, whether our Faith be true or no? |
A66344 | Pray see him p. 151,& c. P. 184. he saith, Whence is it that men perish in and for their Sins? |
A66344 | Q What stress do you lay on Good Works? |
A66344 | Q Whether Faith alone justifieth? |
A66344 | Q Whether Prayer, Fasting, or Alms are satisfactory Works? |
A66344 | Q. Doth not Faith entitle us to Forgiveness? |
A66344 | Q. Doth not Faith take hold of, or look to, approve of, relye on, and accept of Christ and his Righteousness for Pardon? |
A66344 | Q. Hath God declared any Rule by which he gives Forgiveness to one rather than another? |
A66344 | Q. Shall the Elect fall from a state of Forgiveness? |
A66344 | Reader, is not the Assembly plain, that a man is called before he is justified? |
A66344 | Rep. Let''s understand the Question, for it is too confused: What is this After the manner of imputation in foro,& c? |
A66344 | Say 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? |
A66344 | Should you this night hear the Cry, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, are you ready to enter into the Wedding- Chamber? |
A66344 | The great difference between the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace, lies in this: What is the Righteousness for which we are saved? |
A66344 | Was innocent Man to escape the Curse due to him? |
A66344 | Was it not because I received it not, till I received it? |
A66344 | We require Evangelical Faith, in order of Nature, antecedently to our Iustification,& c? |
A66344 | Well, what are the things we should not be afraid of? |
A66344 | What Benefits do they that are effectually called partake of in this Life? |
A66344 | What Sinners are justified by Christ? |
A66344 | What are your Thoughts then as to our inherent Righteousness and Good Works, as they fall under Christ''s Judgment at the last day? |
A66344 | What do Men speak of a Day of Grace, that Men may sin away? |
A66344 | What do you trust in, as that for which God will accept of you, and save you? |
A66344 | What doth God require of us,& c? |
A66344 | What doth entitle us to Forgiveness? |
A66344 | What is Effectual Calling? |
A66344 | What is it for God to forgive our Sins? |
A66344 | What is that Faith in Christ which you perswade to? |
A66344 | What kind of Faith is that by which we are justified, if there be no Work of the Spirit on the Heart? |
A66344 | What more common than the difference between legal and evangelical Obedience? |
A66344 | What should move them to repent? |
A66344 | What stress then do you lay? |
A66344 | What use is Faith of to Forgiveness? |
A66344 | What will the end of them be that obey not the Gospel? |
A66344 | What''s Repentance unto Life,& c? |
A66344 | What''s a Law if that be not? |
A66344 | When God forgives us, doth he judge us to be Believers? |
A66344 | When this Promise belongs but to some, and that only upon a certain Condition who then are those on whom this Promise properly falls? |
A66344 | Where is Boasting then? |
A66344 | Where''s Dr. Owen''s Law of Iustification? |
A66344 | Where''s the Argument? |
A66344 | Whereas Mr. C. asks me, Do not we plead Redemption, or the Promise made in Christ? |
A66344 | Who forgiveth Sin? |
A66344 | Whose Sins doth God forgive? |
A66344 | Why do not you use the word Instrument? |
A66344 | Why do you use the word Rector? |
A66344 | Why should it be their Duty so to do? |
A66344 | Why was I unjustified by his Righteousness so long? |
A66344 | Will God certainly forgive a Sinner when he believes? |
A66344 | Will God forgive all the Elect? |
A66344 | Will God hereafter more publickly declare us to be Believers? |
A66344 | Will a temporary or historical Faith serve? |
A66344 | Will a vain Thought exclude a man from Pardon, as much and as surely as final Unbelief? |
A66344 | Will not God forgive the Elect before they do believe? |
A66344 | Will nothing be glad tidings, but that they shall be saved, tho''they neither repent nor believe? |
A66344 | Will you render this? |
A66344 | Yea, is it not our common Principle, that Vocation is before Justification? |
A66344 | or more falsly than he was a Iugler; tho''I more so? |
A66344 | or, Can they see Christ before their Eye be opened? |
A66344 | that Union with Christ is before Pardon in order of Nature; And is not that an Effect of Christ''s Merits? |
A66344 | yea, 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? |
A50402 | A member of Christ united to him as the head of the whole mystical body of the Church? |
A50402 | Again, it seemeth the objection was made both against the doctrine, and them that taught it, Do we make void the Law through Faith? |
A50402 | Again, saith he, O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that y ● should not obey the truth? |
A50402 | And although this Errour was for the present much restrained, yet how did it break out again afterward among the Galatians? |
A50402 | And 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? |
A50402 | And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
A50402 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
A50402 | And what are those sins which they call upon Christians to shun, but sins forbidden in the Law? |
A50402 | And what is there, which the blood of God was not sufficient to purchase? |
A50402 | And what should Christians endeavour more than the strengthning of their faith? |
A50402 | And when he was upon the Cross, he cried out with a loud voice saying, My God My God why hast thou forsaken me? |
A50402 | Are we better than they? |
A50402 | Besides, 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? |
A50402 | But how is man left to the darkness of his own mind, and blinded by Satan? |
A50402 | Can faith save him? |
A50402 | Did not they rest in the High- priest of the order of Aaron, without minding an eternal High- priest after the order of Melchisedeck? |
A50402 | Do we make the Law a vain, empty, useless thing, of no force? |
A50402 | Do we make void the Law? |
A50402 | Do we take away all authority and binding power from the Law? |
A50402 | Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
A50402 | Fourthly, How doth this light and Law of Nature leave men without excuse? |
A50402 | God forbid, or let it not be: What, know ye not that he which is joyned to an Harlot is one body? |
A50402 | Hadst thou any sincere love to Christ and his doctrine, how is it that thou hast profited no more? |
A50402 | Hast thou been 20, 30, 40 years his Disciple, his Scholar, and hast thou learned little or nothing all this while? |
A50402 | How dangerous is it then to continue in this estate of corrupt nature? |
A50402 | How disgraceful was drunkenness by the light of Nature to sober Heathens, and how did they despise drunkards? |
A50402 | How earnest should poor souls be with the Lord to deliver them? |
A50402 | How great is thy sin? |
A50402 | How many such live in the ordinary practice of such sins which the wiser sort of Heathens abhorred and scorned? |
A50402 | How restless should all be until they are sound in Christ, that his righteousness may shelter them from the fire of Gods wrath? |
A50402 | How sharply doth he reprove them, and how many woes doth he denounce against them? |
A50402 | How should the hearts of believers be inflamed with love to Christ, who endured the flames of divine wrath to save them from everlasting burnings? |
A50402 | How should they strive to be holy as the Lord is holy, who should be both Priests and Sacrifices? |
A50402 | How should this be improved to stir up poor souls without delay to turn to the Lord, and flee to Christ? |
A50402 | How should we tremble at sin? |
A50402 | If the doctrine of free justification be slandered as licentious, and tending to carnal liberty, was it not so in Pauls time? |
A50402 | If under this name thou livest in ignorance, dost thou not herein cast a great reproach upon the Lord Jesus Christ? |
A50402 | If we should trace the Apostle Paul in his travels from place to place, where shall we find a place free from divisions? |
A50402 | In that great and last day, how will ye stand in the presence of God when numberless sins are charged upon you? |
A50402 | In the Objection, Do we then make void the Law through faith? |
A50402 | In their legal washings, how did they rest in the purifying of the flesh, without any care to wash their hearts from wickedness? |
A50402 | Is 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? |
A50402 | Is 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? |
A50402 | Is it not much to be lamented, that where there are many people living under the Gospel, the Lord should have so few offerings? |
A50402 | Is it not very likely that contentions and divisions would follow hereupon? |
A50402 | Is it not want of exercising faith upon Christ, and keeping close to him, that maketh Christians so defective in grace? |
A50402 | Is not this as if thou shouldst say Christ taught thee these things, and walkt before thee in such ways as these? |
A50402 | Is not this to trample under foor the blood of the Covenant? |
A50402 | Israel which followed after the Law of righteousness hath not attained to the Law of righteousness: Wherefore? |
A50402 | It 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? |
A50402 | It seems hereupon some were ready to argue: What advantage then hath the Iew, and what profit is there of Circumcision? |
A50402 | Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
A50402 | Live in such practices as the better sort of Heathens abhorred and scorned? |
A50402 | Nevertheless death raigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression: Who are they? |
A50402 | Now how clearly doth Scripture witness, how sadly doth experience prove, that errours and heresies make woful rents and divisions? |
A50402 | Now what Commandments were these? |
A50402 | Now what a high disho ● our is it to the God of Truth, when lyes are fathered npon him, and attributed to him? |
A50402 | Oh how dreadful will the sound of that Trumpet be at the last day? |
A50402 | Oh take heed of appearing before the all- seeing God without a witness? |
A50402 | Others said, these are not the words of him that hath a Devil; Can a Devil open the eyes of the blind? |
A50402 | Our liberty to use all wholesome food: Blood whether now forbidden? |
A50402 | Probably a Natural though secret reason, why so many Creatures were forbidden to Israel? |
A50402 | Saith the Apostle, Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the Altar? |
A50402 | Saith the Apostle, Shall I take the members of Christ and make them the members of an Harlot? |
A50402 | Secondly, By way of confutation, How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
A50402 | Shall a man be more pure than his Maker? |
A50402 | Shall the members of one body fight each against other? |
A50402 | Shall they that 〈 ◊ 〉 called to one hope be at defiance among them ● selves? |
A50402 | Shall those that are called to the profession of one faith, embrace contrary beliefs? |
A50402 | Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? |
A50402 | Should we not look upon every sin as bloody, as murtherous, either as slaying the sinner himself, or as killing his Saviour? |
A50402 | Sin 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? |
A50402 | So in the sixth Chapter of this Epistle, shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? |
A50402 | So that in these words we may note, first a Question or Objection, Do we make void the Law through faith? |
A50402 | So the Apostle implieth, where speaking of those that are in Christ, he faith, It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth? |
A50402 | So the Macedonians, Nestorians, Eutichians, Monothelites, and others, how sadly did they tear the Church in pieces? |
A50402 | That some of the godly are drawn into Error? |
A50402 | The 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? |
A50402 | The Lord told Abraham that his seed should possess it, but not until after four hundred years, Why? |
A50402 | The Question or Objection is, Do we make void the Law thro ● gh Faith? |
A50402 | There is a Law of nature, this not nulled by Faith: What this Law is, in the particular description of it? |
A50402 | There 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? |
A50402 | These and the like distempers of corrupt Nature, What truths may they not corrupt or deny? |
A50402 | Vrim and Thummim ▪ concerning which there is a great question What it was? |
A50402 | What are those things which the Apostles by the Authority of Christ and his Name, require of Christians but things commanded in the Law? |
A50402 | What errours and false opinions may they not breed and cherish? |
A50402 | What 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? |
A50402 | What is there that such may not obtain of the Father through the Son? |
A50402 | What 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? |
A50402 | What is this but to go about to derive darkness from light? |
A50402 | What man is able to give a reason why this people should be preferred above all others? |
A50402 | What this Light or Law of Nature is? |
A50402 | What worse divisions were made by the abominable Heresie of the Maniche''s in Iudea, Egypt, Greece, Thrace, Spain, and other places? |
A50402 | When 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? |
A50402 | Whether the Lord Jesus were the Christ? |
A50402 | Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved: How then shall they call on him on whom they have not believed? |
A50402 | Will not the Lord look upon them rather as Egyptians then Israelites, and deal with them accordingly? |
A50402 | Will they boast of more love than Paul had, who could have wished himself accursed that Israel might have been saved? |
A50402 | Will they pretend to more meekness than Moses, who was very meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth? |
A50402 | Will ye be able to hold up your faces before the men of Nineve in the day of Judgement? |
A50402 | Will ye plead that ye believe in Christ, and so are made one with him, where is your witness? |
A50402 | Will ye say Christ hath satisfied for your sins, what shall this profit you unless ye be united unto Christ? |
A50402 | With what terrour, glory and majesty did the Lord appear on Mount Sinai, when he published the Law to the people of Israel? |
A50402 | and what have I offended thee that thou hast brought on me and on my Kingdom a great sin? |
A50402 | errours and false opinions in matters of Religion are taught, professed, received as Truths of God? |
A50402 | how few do seriously and diligently seek for any other? |
A50402 | it is excluded: By what Law? |
A50402 | know ye not that the body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you? |
A50402 | lyes from the Fountain of Truth? |
A50402 | of works? |
A50402 | the 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? |
A09274 | 3. to proue that a sinner destitute of grace can not be made inherently holy, by Morality, or outward workes of Piety? |
A09274 | 32 How knowes Bellarm ● ne that? |
A09274 | 5 What sinne is there against the Gospell, that is not a transgression of the Law? |
A09274 | Againe doth Charitie giue life or liuing actions vnto Faith as the Soule doth vnto the Body? |
A09274 | Against what? |
A09274 | And againe, Lay b downe now, put me in a surety with thee, who is he that will strike hands with me? |
A09274 | And how proued they this? |
A09274 | And if he were not, who is? |
A09274 | And is not Feare of GOD too? |
A09274 | And why? |
A09274 | Are not the Regenerate vnder the Law, that is vnder the Obedience of the Law? |
A09274 | Are other Mens worke without all faults because we know not what they be? |
A09274 | Are they sure they can also satisfie the paines of Pu ● gatorie? |
A09274 | Are they sure they shall passe for satisfactions presently? |
A09274 | Are we? |
A09274 | Be veniall sinnes, sinnes? |
A09274 | Because wee must be syncere without hypocrisie, ergo, we must be perfect in all things without blame? |
A09274 | But can they tell certainly when he doth? |
A09274 | But 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? |
A09274 | But can they tell vs the i ● st asure of that Contrition which is satisfactorie? |
A09274 | But how hnow they, they be sinnes? |
A09274 | But how know they that? |
A09274 | But is he sure he enioynes iust so much as will doe the Feate? |
A09274 | But now is this imperfection in Humane or Angelicall righteousnes any Euill and Sinne in them? |
A09274 | But now what followes hence? |
A09274 | But now; wherein stands the inward vocation of a sinner? |

A09274 | But what is it now which committed this guilt or sinne? |
A09274 | But what is this Yoake of Bondage? |
A09274 | But what reason is there for this, that Circumcision& the Ceremonies should frustrate the benefit of Christs death? |
A09274 | But what''s next? |
A09274 | But what? |
A09274 | But when is this? |
A09274 | But where is it so taken? |
A09274 | But wilt thou know O a vaine Man( or hypocrite) that Faith without workes is dead? |
A09274 | But, might he say, what? |
A09274 | By the Law of workes, that is, by the Law performed by the strength of Nature? |
A09274 | By what Law then? |
A09274 | Can Bellarmine tell vs how much this was? |
A09274 | Can a man that''s regenerate be iustified by his obedience of the Law, when yet after his regeneration hee doth not keepe it? |
A09274 | Can that Faith saue him? |
A09274 | Can there be any other meaning of Iustification here ●: but this onely? |
A09274 | Christ, or wee? |
A09274 | Darest thou indeed stand to it, and vpon these Tearmes appeare in Gods Iudgment? |
A09274 | Did God intend in those Commandements to forbid those actions of stealing and lying? |
A09274 | Did Paul then fulfill the Law? |
A09274 | Doth God the Law- giuer? |
A09274 | For 1. what is that to Iustification? |
A09274 | For do you not beleeue him that he spake true? |
A09274 | For may not good Workes be counterfeited as well as Faith? |
A09274 | For satisfaction say they, To what? |
A09274 | For 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? |
A09274 | For 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?) |
A09274 | For this interrogatiues Was not our Father Abraham justified by workes? |

A09274 | For who is judge of their actions? |
A09274 | For 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? |
A09274 | For whom doth he offend, or who can challenge him of Sinne? |
A09274 | For why? |
A09274 | From the Habit of Faith, or of Charity? |
A09274 | Hath he done this, or no? |
A09274 | He asketh vs where is the Sinne? |
A09274 | Hovv is it then not giuen? |
A09274 | How 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? |
A09274 | How doth hee account them Iust, whom he knoweth and punisheth for vniust? |
A09274 | How is that proued? |
A09274 | How is that proued? |
A09274 | How 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? |
A09274 | How know they that? |
A09274 | How knowes the Pope when he hath bestowed vpon them sufficient supererogatiue Money to pay the Fees of the Prison? |
A09274 | How much lesse shall I answere him( saith he)& chuse out my words to reason with him? |

A09274 | How should man be iust with God? |
A09274 | How then doth Charity giue life vnto Faith? |
A09274 | How was it then fulfilled at the oblation of Isaack? |
A09274 | How? |
A09274 | If God punish that sinne which is in the Regenerate how then is their sinne couered and their iniquities forgiuen? |
A09274 | If Men can not bee iustified by keeping the Law, to what end was it giuen so long after the Promise was made? |
A09274 | If for Christs righteousnes we be perfectly iustified: how can God accoūt vs perfectly iust for our faith? |
A09274 | If it be euill to breake any Commandement in act: is it not euill to haue, a pronenesse and readinesse of minde to breake it? |
A09274 | If it be his gift, how doth it merit, or of whom? |
A09274 | If 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? |
A09274 | If thou, Lord shouldest marke iniquities, O Lord who shall stand? |
A09274 | If when all is doen we must be saued by doing, what profit comes there by beleeuing? |
A09274 | In all the Catalogue of the Saints, can you pricke out one that after regeneration, neuer committed sinne against the Law? |
A09274 | In the Apostles will? |
A09274 | Is God offended with them? |
A09274 | Is he certaine that God will take that for paiment, which he decrees to be paied? |
A09274 | Is it a Match presently, that God must doe as thou desirest: and take what thou offerest for paiment? |
A09274 | Is it alwaies? |
A09274 | Is it for the fault and offence committed? |
A09274 | Is it not giuen( quoad directionem) as a Rule prescribing what is to be done, what is not to be done? |
A09274 | Is it not more probable that what neuer was nor will be done, neuer could nor can be done? |
A09274 | Is it onely the obseruation of the Ceremoniall Law? |
A09274 | Is not this a shamelesse Iesuite that will say any thing to patch vp a broken cause? |
A09274 | Is not this a superfine Inuention? |
A09274 | Is not this difference between these Apostles finely accorded think you? |
A09274 | Is the Law then against the Promises? |
A09274 | Is the poore man''s backe euer the warmer? |
A09274 | It is God that iustifies; who shall condemne? |
A09274 | It is dead: How must this be vnderstood? |
A09274 | Likewise was not Rahab the Harlot iustified by workes? |
A09274 | Lord thou art angry for we haue sinned Euen we by our sinnes haue hastened and increased the publique miseries? |
A09274 | Nay, are they without fault, because themselues know not whether there be any in them: or no? |
A09274 | No? |
A09274 | Now in reason wherein ariseth this proportion of any work with that reward? |
A09274 | Now what say our Aduersaries to this? |
A09274 | Or doth S. Michael that hold''s, the Scales send him word, when their satisfactions weigh downe their Sinnes? |
A09274 | Or ours? |
A09274 | Or will it bee a truth from any mans tongue, to say, that he loues God with as great perfection as may be? |
A09274 | Seest thou how faith wrought with his workes, and by workes was faith made perfect? |
A09274 | Shall 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? |
A09274 | Speakes the Prophet this out of confidence, that God vpon search and tryall, shall finde no euill in his heart and thoughts? |
A09274 | Speakes the man reason? |
A09274 | Stands it in the dignity of the worke it selfe; or in the compact made betweene him that worketh and him that rewardeth? |
A09274 | Suppose a Man were made in his pure Naturals, would such disorderly motions be found i ● him? |
A09274 | That a Faith without workes will not doe that? |
A09274 | That a Sinner can not attaine to Sanctification by his owne strength: but he must attaine to it by the grace of God? |
A09274 | Theirs? |
A09274 | Then when they beleeue, and assoone as they beleeue, before they be Regenerate? |
A09274 | Those that are in Purgatory, when haue they satisfied enough? |
A09274 | To pardon a fault and be friends and yet require full satisfaction; to forgiue the debt, yet to exact the payment, be not these trimme kindnesses? |
A09274 | True, they doe call vpon Gods Name: but is this done alwayes with that diligence, with that zeale which God requires? |
A09274 | Was there euer such a toy heard of as this? |
A09274 | Wast then in his ability? |
A09274 | We are iustified by the righteousnesse of God: But what is that? |
A09274 | We hardly see beames in our own eyes: are we then so skilfull to spie the smallest moate? |
A09274 | Were they all idle, and did not doe their best endeauour? |
A09274 | What Imperpection of mans Righteousnes is it, which is Sinne? |
A09274 | What are those? |
A09274 | What consequence is there in this Argument except we expound S. Iames by that metonymie, Workes, that is a working Faith? |
A09274 | What followeth hence now? |
A09274 | What if there be not Aue- Maries enough& c? |
A09274 | What man durst say or thinke in any good worke: Lord in this particular I doe not desire thou shouldest be mercifull vnto me? |

A09274 | Where''s the warrant for that? |
A09274 | Where? |
A09274 | Wherefore heere we aske the Iesuite whether Charity and other Graces in a man regenerate be so perfect in this Life, as they ought to be? |
A09274 | Wherefore? |
A09274 | Which what is it else but Sanctification? |

A09274 | Yea, or No? |

A09277 | 3. shall their unbeliefe make the Faith of God without effect? |
A09277 | A Preacher they have not; and[ How should they beleeve in him of whom they have not heard, and how should they heare without a Preacher?] |
A09277 | Againe for the Vnderstanding, how can it assent unto the Truth or dissent from the Falsehood of such things whereof it hath no apprehension at all? |
A09277 | Againe, Exekiel was an eloquent man, and the Iewes tooke a pleasure to heare him, but where grace wanted what could his eloquence helpe? |
A09277 | Againe, what singular preparation to Faith is it, that our naturall affections be well qualified in their motions about naturall and bodily things? |
A09277 | Alying surmise much like that of the Serpent when hee tempted the Woman, Yea saith he, hath God indeed said so? |
A09277 | And are they so? |
A09277 | And are we certaine then wee have it? |
A09277 | And is this sufficient to our regeneration? |
A09277 | And then shall not that gift which abolishes our sinfull infirmities, bee justly called a Sanctifying grace? |
A09277 | And what is this water? |
A09277 | And what reason had Esay then to complaine of them for not doing that which they could not doe? |
A09277 | And who knowes whether our diligence in doing something, may not be more beneficiall to us, than our sinning in many things may prove hurtfull? |
A09277 | And why are not all learned Divines sanctified also? |
A09277 | And why could they not? |
A09277 | But Satan replies, Are you sure that God spake true when hee said it? |
A09277 | But are they so indeed? |
A09277 | But how know you that those places are Scripture, and that that is the right meaning of those places? |
A09277 | But how know you this reuelation of the Spirit to be true? |
A09277 | But how know you this& the like places of Scriptures to be Gods Word? |
A09277 | But may all this be done without the helpe of Supernaturall revelation? |
A09277 | But now what is this effectuall power, according to the Arminians, and what doth it in all men? |
A09277 | But seeing t is questionlesse true in many, wee may and must charitably suppose it in every one( for when we come to particular whom dare we exclude?) |
A09277 | But shall his seede enjoy it? |
A09277 | But was it the vertue of these words that heald him? |
A09277 | But was this sufficient to convert them? |
A09277 | But what if both should so sinne? |
A09277 | But what if they be inferior? |
A09277 | But what is this Drawing? |
A09277 | But what is this Well Vsing of Naturall gifts? |
A09277 | But what then, are they unknowne too? |
A09277 | But what was the cause of that, was not the meanes sufficient? |
A09277 | But whence then hath the word its effect? |
A09277 | But where''s the seed it sel ● e that shall enjoy it? |
A09277 | But wherefore was all this contention of Spirit, why this striving with utmost endeavour to bee thankefull? |
A09277 | But wherein? |
A09277 | But why is this Divine vertue the seed of our regeneration called Incorruptible seed? |
A09277 | Can a man hate evill, who yet e loves not the Lord? |
A09277 | Can a man thirst after righteousnesse and yet not be d blessed nor satisfied? |
A09277 | Can any thing be more senselesse? |
A09277 | Can he be humble that hath not the sanctifying Spirit, one g fruite whereof is meeknesse and humblenesse of minde? |
A09277 | Can he that is in the flesh, and so an enemie to God, yet greve for displeasing of him? |
A09277 | Can he truly desire the Spirit of regeneration, that is of the c world and can not receive the Spirit because it seeth him not neither knoweth him? |
A09277 | Can hee have a full purpose of heart to i amend his life and cleave unto the Lord, whose heart is not yet touched with sanctifying Grace? |
A09277 | Can hee love God that is f not borne of him? |
A09277 | Can not this worke of Sanctification be wrought in them before Baptisme? |
A09277 | Come to most men and aske them, Why doe you beliue the Scriptures, and these points of religion out of them? |
A09277 | Doe they verily belieue that this is the word of God? |
A09277 | Doe we finde an Holy feare to fall upon us when our sinnes are threatned? |
A09277 | Finally, doe wee love the Word that hath begotten us, preferring that food of our soules before our appointed bodily food? |
A09277 | For among so many hundred volumes written by the Ancients, how few or none almost shall we finde touching the matter of Religion? |
A09277 | For aske a Roman Catholike, why doe you belieue the Pope can not erre? |
A09277 | For aske the question, wherefore do you firmely belieue the Articles of the ● reed? |
A09277 | For aske them, is not the inward disability of our soules to beleeve and convert a part of our corruption? |
A09277 | For can hee that is dead in sinne bewaile his Spirituall death? |
A09277 | For how can the Signe be denied unto them which have and enjoy the thing signified? |
A09277 | For 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? |
A09277 | For if the Vnderstanding assent or dissent without understanding of whereto or from what, is not a non- ens the object of such an act? |
A09277 | For 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? |
A09277 | For to what end is it? |
A09277 | For 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? |
A09277 | For why? |
A09277 | Hadst thou not thought it? |
A09277 | Hath 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? |
A09277 | Have you seene how a tender infant in the apprehension of some danger approching runnes into the armes of his Parent for succour? |
A09277 | Heare the Command, and that given to a dead man: But could these words doe any thing to raise him? |
A09277 | How 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? |
A09277 | How can yee that are evill speake good things? |
A09277 | How doth Faith live by Charity? |
A09277 | How know you that the Scriptures are Gods Word? |
A09277 | How many prayers of the Saints doe wee finde they have made for knowledge, every where mentioned? |
A09277 | How often is Faith and Knowledge coupled together? |
A09277 | How shall wee know the word which the Lord hathnot spoken? |
A09277 | How then doth the Holy Ghost reueale vnto vs the truth of Scriptures? |
A09277 | How then was Christ described and crucified in the sight of these Galatians? |
A09277 | How we come to see this Light? |
A09277 | If Scriptures are plaine unto themselves, why did they not make them plaine unto others? |
A09277 | If by it self, then why are not the Divels sanctified, who know more of Divinity than haply the learnedst man? |
A09277 | If 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? |
A09277 | If it doe take effect extraordinarily in some, how know they that? |
A09277 | If it succeed ill, Contented Patience opposed to repining Thought; as, Why should not my Ministery be as effectuall as anothers is? |
A09277 | If knowledge dare venter, what should ignorance doubt? |
A09277 | If learning can not defend it selfe from common- vices, how should rudenesse and simplicity be safe? |
A09277 | If not, wherein lies the dishonesty of that act in the angells, or wherein stands the honesty of that act in men? |
A09277 | If one facultie can doe both, what reason is there to make two? |
A09277 | If that were the cause, why doth hee not equally beleeve all, when Gods authority is the same in all? |
A09277 | Is it by any proper worke of the Spirit distinct from the power of the Word? |
A09277 | Is it from true love to God and Goodnesse, that he is content to be ruled in such things? |
A09277 | Is it of the Law, or of the Gospell? |
A09277 | Is it possible that the creature should bee thus ignorant of his Creators voice, thus presumptuous to censure him of rudenesse? |
A09277 | Is it that knowledge of God and goodnesse whereto the Gentiles might come by the light of nature? |
A09277 | Is it vanished? |
A09277 | Is not the bestowing of them a fruit of his great mercy and love unto us? |
A09277 | Is not this dissembling to say one thing and meane another, to will one thing in word, another in secret intent? |
A09277 | Is there in the Scriptures the least intimation of such a strange and uncouth meaning, when it tells that wee are justified by Faith? |
A09277 | Is this so rare a priviledge of nature? |
A09277 | It sufficeth that God onely command them, if they can not obey, whose fault is that but their owne? |
A09277 | Lastly, If we be asked, How know you that this is the right meaning of such or such a place? |
A09277 | Lord, Lord, have wee not by thy name prophesied,& c? |
A09277 | Man indeed had strength and hath lost it, but how? |
A09277 | May a true prayer be made without the helpe of the Holy h Ghost? |
A09277 | Nay more, what difference can be made betweene Sathans temptations and all the sacred suggestions of Gods word? |
A09277 | No, is it not evident to us that the Scriptures are of God? |
A09277 | Now hee hath him shall hee live in Gods sight? |
A09277 | Now if Infants thus justified and sanctified depart this life, what should stoppe their passage to heaven? |
A09277 | Now what is the issue of such an ill grounded beliefe? |
A09277 | Now what is this else but to trust him? |
A09277 | Now whence is all this frowardnesse? |
A09277 | Quo ● odo resoluating 〈 ◊ 〉 si ● e? |
A09277 | So Christ appearing to Saul, accosts him with this expostulatorie salutation,[ Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?] |
A09277 | So Eliah to Elisha, What have I done unto thee? |
A09277 | So 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? |
A09277 | So that vnto such as aske, wherefore are the Mathematickes good? |
A09277 | The Question is, How is it knowne certenly that the Scriptures are the very word of God? |
A09277 | The Question then is this, Whether it be in mans power so to resist the grace of God, as finally to hinder his owne Conversion? |
A09277 | The Scriptures are obscure, say they, but to whom trow yee? |
A09277 | The truth of it: where in stands that? |
A09277 | Their answere is, Because they bee the Word of God Yea but what perswades you to thinke so? |
A09277 | They have no justifying faith? |
A09277 | To the Question An Revelatio primae veritatis, ut sit formale objectum fidei, debeat esse obscura? |
A09277 | To their learned Clergie and illuminated Doctors? |
A09277 | To whom then? |
A09277 | True, but what makes vs good trees? |
A09277 | Vnde seis? |
A09277 | Was it externall morall perswasion trow yee that hath made this wonderfull alteration? |
A09277 | Well, but why doe you infallibly belieue that this is Gods word, and that this is the meaning of it? |
A09277 | Well, is not then the infusion of an Ability to Beleeve and Convert, the doing away of that corruption? |
A09277 | Well, what is this further or Greater grace? |
A09277 | What Faith is it that is thus resolued, Theologicall or Humane? |
A09277 | What can be done by a man after his Conversion, more than he can doe in these things before he be converted? |
A09277 | What 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? |
A09277 | What is it then? |
A09277 | What is now my duty? |
A09277 | What is this Seed by which we are borne againe? |
A09277 | What prophecy, the meaning whereof hath not, or will not be plainly found out? |
A09277 | What saith is it then which is resolued into the Churches authority? |
A09277 | What shall he doe then? |
A09277 | What text of doctrine, whereof some have not or shall not understand the right meaning? |
A09277 | What then must hee beleeve? |
A09277 | What then should hinder why these Infants should not also be washed with the water of the Sacrament thereof? |
A09277 | What then, Inward Calling there is none? |
A09277 | What was that? |
A09277 | What was the reason of that? |
A09277 | What, Iustifying Faith? |
A09277 | What, is it equall that he who transgresseth the Law in one point, should be held guilty of the breach of all the Commandements? |
A09277 | When hee is in Ganaan, where bee now his great possessions? |
A09277 | Whence then? |
A09277 | Where then is any worke left for Grace? |
A09277 | Whether God doe give unto all Christians grace sufficient to worke their conversion? |
A09277 | Whether may the childe of such a one bee baptized? |
A09277 | Whether the Gentiles out of the Church have grace given unto them sufficient for their conversion? |
A09277 | Whether those upon whom such sufficient grace is bestowed, may if they list hinder their conversion by the power of their free- will? |
A09277 | Who but Abraham would not here have quarrelled with God, and laid slacknesse, falshood, unjustice, and cruelty to his charge? |
A09277 | Who sees not abroad in the world many wicked and ungodly wretches abounding in knowledge, and yet destitute of all true piety? |
A09277 | Who would thinke himselfe wrongd that is thus blest, or imprisoned that is thus restrained? |
A09277 | Why doe you belieue Purgatory? |
A09277 | Why? |
A09277 | Will there ever be a true Confession in the mouth when there is not Faith and Repentance in the heart? |
A09277 | Yea but how know you infallibly they doe not erre in saying so? |
A09277 | Yea but what are these actions? |
A09277 | Yea, but how is all this done? |
A09277 | Yea, but whence doth Faith fetch this argument? |
A09277 | You 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? |
A09277 | againe when is this supernaturall knowledge bestowed on Pagans? |
A09277 | and 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? |
A09277 | and what if they die before that age? |
A09277 | and when t is once found out, may not all understand what one doth? |
A09277 | are the Scriptures obscure, because some things are hard to be understood by the ignorant and unstable mindes? |
A09277 | call we this a prerogative of Nature, and is it worth so much contention as hath beene made for it? |
A09277 | have they it as soone as they come into the world? |
A09277 | if so, t is Naturall: or is it given afterwards at yeares of discretion? |
A09277 | if so, then t is not in Infants, and so not in all the Heathen, and at what yeares is it bestowed? |
A09277 | is it in regard of it selfe, or in respect of the fruite? |
A09277 | or it is some other supernaturall Revelation? |
A09277 | our Iustification or our Sanctification? |
A09277 | shall I beleeve, shall I obey, were I best doe this good worke, or shall I let it alone? |
A09277 | to make it powerfull unto conversion in all to whom it is proposed? |
A09277 | was it evident to the holy men of God to whom they were first inspired? |
A09277 | what should hinder? |
A09277 | whose fault is that but the Clergies? |
A09277 | why so? |
A09277 | yet aske them in their sorrowes and feares, can you beleeve in Christ, committing your soules unto him, depending only upon him and no other? |
A29748 | 12. and if the Lord had not told him, that His grace was sufficient for him, what would he have done? |
A29748 | 13: 26, 27? |
A29748 | 13: 3. how long wilt thou forsake me? |
A29748 | 15: 18. will thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters, that fail? |

A29748 | 4 How rare is it to see any soul brocken in heart, and humbled because of this? |
A29748 | 43: 2. what can trouble them? |
A29748 | 5 Where is that to be heard, Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved? |
A29748 | 5 ▪ We know not whither thow goest, and how can we know the way? |

A29748 | 88: 14 ▪) castest thou off my soul? |
A29748 | 8: 3. and will He not have compassion on the soules of his followers, when like to faint through spiritual discouragements? |
A29748 | 8: 33, 34. who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect? |
A29748 | And 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? |
A29748 | And how ready and prone are we, to receive and intertaine wrong apprehensions of all his wayes and dealings with his Church and people? |
A29748 | And if it can not act faith, how can it come to Christ, and make use of Him? |
A29748 | And is it not found oftentimes, that they are too too ready to leane to some thing beside Christ? |
A29748 | And is not this most reasonable? |
A29748 | And is not this rationall and easy? |
A29748 | And is there any thing in Him which we have no need of? |
A29748 | And on the other hand, who can tell the misery of such, as are strangers to Iesus? |
A29748 | And should we not blesse the Lord, that hath provided such a compleet and alsufficient Mediator? |
A29748 | And should we not submit to his wise dispensations? |
A29748 | And they be led by the Spirit? |
A29748 | And what is there more to be done, to procure us accesse? |
A29748 | And what reason can plead for this double dealing? |
A29748 | And who can tell how many, and how dreadful errors, they may drink ▪ in, who have once opened the door to a small errour? |
A29748 | And who can tell, how soon He may come? |
A29748 | And who more ready to compleane, then such as have least cause? |
A29748 | And who seeth not what double dealing is here? |
A29748 | And why, I pray, may not God dispose of his souldiers as He will? |
A29748 | Are our spots this day the spots of his children? |
A29748 | Are there fruits answerable to the Lord''s paines and labour about us, to be seen even among the greatest of Professours? |
A29748 | Are there not some young strong men, in Christs family,& some that are but babe ● …? |
A29748 | Art thou sure, that all thy paines shall be in vaine? |
A29748 | But be it so, as it is alleiged, what if the fault be their owne? |
A29748 | But can any say the tearms are hard, when all is offered freely? |

A29748 | But what shall I do with the guilt of my weak Repentance, and weak faith? |
A29748 | But whence hath the soul all this light? |

A29748 | He offereth Himself really to us, and shall we not be reall in accepting of Him? |
A29748 | He offers all freely, and did He ever reject any upon the want of a price in their hand? |
A29748 | Hence some of his cry out, in their complaint, was there ever any so tempted, so assaulted with the devil, as I am? |

A29748 | How unwilling are they, to sit down seriously to try and 〈 ◊ 〉 the matter, and to lay their case to the touch- stone of the word? |

A29748 | Is it not reason, that we take him as God hath made him for us? |
A29748 | Is 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? |

A29748 | May not the devil rage most, when he thinks ere long to be ejected? |
A29748 | May not this satisfy thee, that God through grace accepteth thy labour and wreastling, as thy duty, and accounteth it service to Him, and obedience? |
A29748 | May not thou improve this to advantage, by making many errands to Him? |
A29748 | Nay should not this be looked upon as a very great encouragement? |
A29748 | O What need have we of spirituall wisdome, that we may be better acquanted with his stratagems and wiles? |
A29748 | O beleever; what matter of joy is here? |

A27029 | And the other part of the Cause of that day, is, whether we have part in Christ, and the Merits of his Righteousness? |
A27029 | And therefore Christs Righteousness is ever connoted when we talk of Faith: For what is the very Specification of the Act but the Object? |

A27029 | Is any thing plainer in all the Gospel? |
A27029 | Is faith, and is repentance no means? |
A27029 | Is future sin pardoned before? |
A27029 | Is glorifying God inconsistent with seeking to be saved? |
A27029 | Is his Law made for himself, that is made for us? |
A27029 | Is it a matter of boasting that God commandeth when he commandeth us to repent and believe the Gospel? |
A27029 | Is it no greater Mercy and Grace, to make us like our Saviour in Holiness, and Gods Image, and the Divine Nature, than not? |
A27029 | Is it no hurt accordingly to have the less of Glory in Heaven? |
A27029 | Is it no hurt to have Faith, Love, Desire, and Joy, weak, and to have still the remnants of unbelief, and other such like sins? |
A27029 | Is it no hurt to live and dye in terrible fear of Gods displeasure, and in doubts of our everlasting state? |
A27029 | Is it no hurt to lose some degrees of Love and Holiness, which we have had? |
A27029 | Is it not a vile abuse of his Grace, to contemn it, because it is our own? |
A27029 | Is it not as it is the Perso ● s Faith? |
A27029 | Is it not then too little, if it must be the Idem, and not the Aequivalens? |
A27029 | Is it not unjust to punish him that Christ died for, even one sin twice? |
A27029 | Is 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? |
A27029 | Is it the Fa ● and not the Person that is to be judged? |
A27029 | Is it to be the opposers of all Gods Laws? |
A27029 | Is it to make up any imperfection in the Obedience or Righteousness of Christ? |
A27029 | Is it true that Christs active obedience only meriteth Heaven for us, and therefore that only meriteth Sanctification? |
A27029 | Is it true that we must be practical Antinomians unless we hold that only Christs active righteousness merited grace and glory for us? |
A27029 | Is it worth their Zeal and Contention? |
A27029 | Is justifying Faith an act of the understanding or will? |

A27029 | Is not Christs righteousness ours, as our sins were his, by im ● utation? |
A27029 | Is not the Preaching of the Gospel a means of mens believing? |
A27029 | Is not this Idolatry worse than Image- Worship, or than Anti- christianity? |
A27029 | Is not this to trust to works? |
A27029 | Is obedience a part of Justifying Faith? |
A27029 | Is sin worse than suffering, if it can do no hurt? |
A27029 | It is not for Christ to judge himself: It is not to judge God, whether he elected us? |
A27029 | It is not to judge, whether we were of the Seed of Adam, or whether we ever sinned? |
A27029 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? |
A27029 | Lastly, you ask, What Righteousness Faith is imputed to? |
A27029 | M ● st a believer any way plead his Faith, Repentance or Holiness to his Justification, or trust to them? |
A27029 | Must 〈 ◊ 〉 ever trust at all to his faith, repentance, or holiness, or p ● ead it any way to his justification? |
A27029 | No, 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? |
A27029 | Obj ▪ It is prerequisite as an Instrument? |
A27029 | Of what? |
A27029 | Or is it Law that we shall not be Ruled and Judged by? |
A27029 | Or is it[ that you may turn?] |
A27029 | Or is there any transgression, if no Law? |
A27029 | Or to be tormented with Stone, Collick, Convulsion, or any Disease; why will these Phanaticks seek to Physicians, use Medicines, and groan in Pain? |
A27029 | Or whether the Law of Innocency condemn us; And our sin deserve everlasting Punishment? |
A27029 | Or will you new mold it into an absolute Form? |
A27029 | Or ▪ will you say that it is no Covenant? |
A27029 | Should none pray but Reprobates, if others have no hurt to deprecate? |
A27029 | So we unless we utter words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? |
A27029 | That speaketh but the Order: But what Antecedent is it? |
A27029 | The Acts of Christ in the Divine and Humane Nature: Are these given us, and do we possess them in themselves? |
A27029 | The Cause of that day, will not be, whether Christ be a sufficient Saviour, or have made sufficient satisfaction? |
A27029 | The 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? |
A27029 | The question then is whether every believer be one person with Christ? |
A27029 | The sum of all our Controversie is, what Righteousness believers have? |
A27029 | Then there is some degree of turning necessary as a condition to the promised special gift of the Spirit? |
A27029 | There is no man without many Errors: And do not all desire that others should take that for Truth, which they take to be Truth? |
A27029 | Those men were not Hereticks, but men fals ● y a ● cus ● d of Heresie: Why instance you in Papist Tyrants? |
A27029 | Thou art not an Adulterer, thou art not a sinful Person,( Why did Christ then justifie the confessing Publican?) |
A27029 | To him that hath, shall be given: may not Faith be the gift of God, and yet be the condition of Justification and Salvation? |
A27029 | Turn you at my reproof; behold I will pour out my Spirit to you; I will make known my Words unto you? |
A27029 | Was Dr. Tully a Non- conformist? |
A27029 | Was 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? |
A27029 | What Law is it that Paul calleth the Law of works which can not justify? |
A27029 | What Righteousness of Christ is it that is ours, and imputed to us; the Passive, the Active, the Habitual, or the Divine, or all? |

A27029 | When it is said that faith is imputed to us for righteousness is it faith indeed that is meant or Christs Righteousness believed on? |
A27029 | Where''s the Clergy so powerful as in the Roman Kingdom? |
A27029 | Whether Christs Righteousness be the Efficient, Material, or Formal cause of our Righteousness, or Justification? |
A27029 | Whether Grace be Grace, or Free, if it have any Condition? |
A27029 | Whether our performance of the Condition of Justification doth efficiently justifie us? |
A27029 | Whether that which is by Christs obedience, and by Faith, be the same? |
A27029 | Whether the Acceptation of Christs Righteousness be the Imputation of it? |

A27029 | Why did you not note this, and tell us whether you deny this also, as well as our Physical performance? |

A27029 | Why do Ministers Preach so much against sin, if it can do no hurt? |

A27029 | Why do they not commend to us some better name for the same thing? |
A27029 | Why 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? |

A27029 | Why is he called Least, in the Kingdom of God, who breaketh the least Commandement, and teacheth men so? |
A27029 | Why is it worse to be cast into the Sea with a Mill- stone, for scandalizing the least, if that scandal can not hurt them? |
A27029 | Why is man''s nature afraid of Devils, and the Serpents seed, if they can not hurt us? |

A27029 | Why must Rulers be Just, and a Terrour to them that do evil, if sin do no hurt? |

A27029 | Why pray they for Reformation, and Church- prosperity, and the Thousand Years Glorious State, if sin be so harmless a thing? |
A27029 | Why should we compassionate the poor, or sick, if sin do no hurt to them? |
A27029 | Why then should we exhort each other daily, lest any be hardened by this deceitfulness of sin? |
A27029 | Why was Christ''s Resurrection Preached by the Apostles, so much as the Proof of the Truth of Christianity, and not the Faith of every believer? |
A27029 | Will Heaven be against Heaven, and God against God to us? |

A27029 | trusting to the Imputation of his Righteousness?] |
A27029 | who 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? |
A30248 | 12. for the spirit of prayer and mourning together, if it were so easie and customary a work? |
A30248 | 14. d ● Verbis Apostoli, on those words, He that beleeveth not shall be damned, makes this question, Vbi ponis parvulos baptizatos? |
A30248 | 2. 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? |
A30248 | 32. who, while he humbled not himself for his sin, found nothing but terrour and trouble in his own soul? |
A30248 | 5 excite himself to run like a Gyant in his ministerial race, because of the terror of the Lord at the day of Judgement? |
A30248 | 7. complaineth of that evil in him, and law of sinne, can we think he never desired the pardon of it? |
A30248 | 8. are these groans unutterable wrought by the Spirit of God in us at that time? |
A30248 | 8. what a challenge Paul there makes, Who shal lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A30248 | A second Objection may be, Why repentance wrought by the Spirit of God is not enough to remove sin in the guilt of it? |
A30248 | Again, It is for comfort to the godly, what though Satan, thy own heart, and the world doth condemn thee? |
A30248 | Alas, it is a godly mans aggravation of this guilt, why doth he not apply the Promises as formerly? |
A30248 | And as for that other Question, Whether they may not frequently commit the same sins? |
A30248 | And as for wicked men, they have no beauty at all in them; and therefore how can sinne make such a blot in them? |
A30248 | And certainly, if this Doctrine were true, why did Paul say, Though I made you sorry, I did not repent? |
A30248 | And how can this be, but by Gods Spirit revealing his purpose of Election, concerning the just mans Salvation? |
A30248 | And if the Question be made, Whether the phrase of covering sinne, make for that errour, That God doth not see sin in beleevers offending? |
A30248 | And if the elect before they believe or repent were thus happy, how then at the same time could they be children of wrath? |
A30248 | And 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? |
A30248 | And this is to incourage great sinners; ten thousand talents was a great summe of money, yet how easily forgiven by that kinde Master? |
A30248 | Another Question may be, What Directions are to be given unto a soul tempted about the pardon of sin? |
A30248 | Art thou as one ashamed in the presence of so glorious a God? |
A30248 | As David many moneths after he had sinned, praieth God, To blot out his sinne: why, where was his sin? |
A30248 | But 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? |
A30248 | But did not God see sin in Moses, when for his unbelief he kept him out of Canaan? |
A30248 | But doth not the Scripture give to God the knowledge of all things? |
A30248 | But 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? |
A30248 | But how could David have any boldness here, till there was a cole of fire from the Altar to sanctifie him? |
A30248 | But how unanswerably do the Orthodox prove, a peculiar instrumental vertue in faith for pardon, which others have not? |
A30248 | But may not we strike the adversary with his own reason in this manner? |
A30248 | But presently upon his Reproof, How doth this Mountain melt like wax before the fire? |
A30248 | But what sin is not possible( except that against the holy Ghost) even to a regenerate man? |
A30248 | But will this comfort my conscience, if they say at the same time, though God doth not see it, yet he knoweth it? |
A30248 | But you may ask, How could she come to know her sins were forgiven, before Christ told her? |
A30248 | But you may say, Why should not repentance be as great a good, and as much honour God, as sinne is an evil? |
A30248 | By this instance, how watchfull should godly parents be, lest for their sins committed, a curse should cleave to the family for many generations? |
A30248 | Can a man repent of any ● hing but what is past? |
A30248 | Can any one make the meaning to be, that God would not give them the assurance of their forgiveness? |
A30248 | Certainly Joseph did upon a good ground, abstain from sin, when he said, How can I do this, and sinne against God? |
A30248 | Covering of sin, How can that be understood, if sin be not with some loathsomnes? |
A30248 | David crying out, Who can understand his errors? |
A30248 | Deus praecipit, said Tertul ● ian: Is it good to repent, or not? |
A30248 | Did Daniel thus among the Lions? |
A30248 | Did I not give unto thy father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel? |
A30248 | Did Jonah pray thus in the Whales belly? |
A30248 | Did he not finde such anguish, and consumption in his soul, that he thought no words could express it? |
A30248 | Did he not see sin in Jonah, who would fain have run from Gods face, that he might not have seen him? |
A30248 | Did not I choose thy father out of all the Tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer upon my Altar? |
A30248 | Did not he see sin in David, though pardoned, grievously chastising him afterwards? |
A30248 | Did the thief thus upon the crosse? |
A30248 | Didst 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? |
A30248 | For how cometh David to be thus affected with forgivenesse of his sins? |
A30248 | For what is that, but an overcoming the accusing adversary, and clearing of us against every charge? |
A30248 | For 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? |
A30248 | From the former, Doth God in pardoning, cover sinne? |
A30248 | God hath shut me out like the unclean leper, and whither shall I go? |
A30248 | God said of Ahab, though humbled for externall motives only, Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself? |
A30248 | Hath he not bought Repentance at a dear rate? |
A30248 | Hath not God commanded it? |
A30248 | He 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? |
A30248 | He 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? |
A30248 | He that formed the eye, shall not he see? |
A30248 | He that maketh man to know, shall not he know? |
A30248 | Hence they have been called by some the little Bible, or the Bible of the Bible? |
A30248 | Here 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? |
A30248 | Here we see is intercession for sin, and a way for Remission; but how? |
A30248 | Hierom complained of his distractions and dulness in praier, Siccine putas orasse Jonam? |
A30248 | His master was wroth, and delivered him to the t ● rmentors, till he had paid all that was due? |
A30248 | How absurd would it be, for a man to go and confess the sins he will commit? |
A30248 | How angry also was God with David after his murder and adultery? |
A30248 | How can I provoke him to anger? |
A30248 | How desperate had Peters condition been, if this had been true? |
A30248 | How easily might we think, What hope is there to have me speed? |
A30248 | How is that woman of Canaan commended for her faith? |
A30248 | How justification can be said to be pardon of sin? |
A30248 | How often do we fail in the manner of a command, as Vzzah in the order? |
A30248 | How often do we sin voluntarily and willingly after we are inlightned? |
A30248 | How often out of pride and self- confidence do we number our earthly props, and refuges, relying upon them? |
A30248 | How shall I look up into Heaven any more? |
A30248 | How then can such a perswasion of forgiveness cause a neglect of the means? |
A30248 | How unadvised are our thoughts and words? |
A30248 | How 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? |
A30248 | How unwilling to acknowledge our debts, to confesse them to God? |
A30248 | I can not dissemble it, I can not hide it; oh what shall I do? |
A30248 | I finde them all cancelled; Is not this blessednes indeed? |
A30248 | If God do this in the order of natural things, how much more of supernatural? |
A30248 | If 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? |
A30248 | If he hath removed greater, will he think much at the lesse? |
A30248 | If he that despised Moses his Law, died without mercy: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy? |
A30248 | If one man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him, but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? |
A30248 | If the frowning of a King be like the roaring of a Lion, how terrible then are the frowns of God for sin? |
A30248 | If 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? |
A30248 | If therefore when asked, How dost thou hope to have thy sins pardoned? |
A30248 | If they be asked, How they hope to be saved? |
A30248 | If thy sins be not brought into the Court, what need any pleading for thee? |
A30248 | If you ask Peter why he weeps bitterly, will he not say, Because he offended God? |
A30248 | If you say, Why then is repentance and faith pressed so necessarily, that God doth not forgive without it? |
A30248 | In these times of warre, while we have been under continual fears of an enemie, vvhat could rightly support us, but remission of our sins? |
A30248 | Infants are glorified without fruits meet for repentance, Therefore men grown up also may be, How absurd would that be? |
A30248 | Is God as well pleased with Peter denying Christ, as Peter repenting? |
A30248 | Is any man sick? |
A30248 | Is not forgiveness making of a sin not to be, as you have heard? |
A30248 | Is not this an aggravation which God taketh notice of? |
A30248 | It 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? |
A30248 | It 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? |
A30248 | It s disputed also, When this time of repentance doth binde? |
A30248 | It will be further demanded, But how doest thou hope to have thy sins of thy repentance taken away? |
A30248 | Its disputed, Whether sin have an infinite evil and deformity in it? |
A30248 | Justus quis est, nisi qui amanti se Deo vicem rependit amoris? |
A30248 | Lastly, Their sins are offences against God, and can God be offended with that which he doth not behold? |
A30248 | Now although this be true, yet how few do reform their judgements in this point? |
A30248 | Now 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? |
A30248 | Now 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? |
A30248 | Now from hence we may justly take an occasion to handle that Question, Whether God in pardoning do forgive all sins together? |
A30248 | Now how can a man be said to forsake that which is not, to leave that which is future? |
A30248 | Now how can this Apostolicall assertion be true, if so be God took no notice, or were not offended at the sins of his people? |
A30248 | Now how contrary is this to Gods dispensation revealed in the Scripture? |
A30248 | Now how great a contradiction is this to his other assertion? |
A30248 | Now how little of the heart is in most mens humiliations? |
A30248 | Now lest any should think What is this to us in the times of the Gospel? |
A30248 | Now the Master of the feast may say to him, How camest thou in here without a wedding Garment? |
A30248 | Now 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? |
A30248 | Now thou that in thy repentance feelest Gods displeasure, art ready to cry out, Why dost thou forsake me? |
A30248 | Now what are all Davids pleasures, all his lustful delights to these wounds of his soul? |
A30248 | Now who can deny but that even a godly man may fall into some hainous crime, for which he may receive a sentence of death? |
A30248 | Now who can deny but that this is true of Paul, while no believer, but an opposer of godlinesse? |
A30248 | Now, can God be angry, and that in so high a degree, with that which he doth not see, or take notice of? |
A30248 | O what comfort do those pleasures, those lusts now afford him? |
A30248 | O where is Davids heart that it doth not smite him all this while? |
A30248 | Oh how dear doth every pleasant or profitable sin cost thee? |
A30248 | Ought not the person offending also to judge the same things about himself? |
A30248 | Quid clarius? |
A30248 | Quidni totis artubus contremiscat ranuncula è palude accedens ad thronum Regis? |
A30248 | Remember the action of sinne doth passe away, but not the sinne; you may therefore ask, Wherein doth the sin continue still? |
A30248 | Secondly, If the Gospel be so powerfull to abolish sin, why will he have the Law preached to obstinate sinners? |
A30248 | Shall David be thought in hast and rashnesse, to say, Against thee have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight? |
A30248 | Sic Danielem inter leones? |
A30248 | Sic latronem in cruce? |
A30248 | So 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? |
A30248 | THe next Question to be considered, is, Whether in this prayer, we pray only for the Assurance of Pardon, not Pardon it self? |
A30248 | Tell me ye afflicted and wounded for sin, is not this the best oyl that can be poured into your sores? |
A30248 | Tenthly, What an empty Cobweb is this distinction, even for that very purpose they bring it? |
A30248 | The Apostle might well say, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A30248 | The 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? |
A30248 | The Psalmist also saith, God is angry with the wicked every day; Was not this true of Manasses before his conversion? |
A30248 | The calamity was generall, and who can say, none of the Justified suffered under it? |
A30248 | The first Doubt is, What kinde of act in God forgivenesse of sin is? |
A30248 | The first Objection therefore may be, To what purpose doth God require Repentance, seeing it is no cause of pardon? |
A30248 | The first in order that should be discussed is, What remission of sin is; Or, What is meant, when we say, God doth forgive sinne? |
A30248 | The 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? |
A30248 | The people of God have still sin, pride, and hardnesse of heart remaining in them, and shall a Minister preach the Gospel to his pride? |
A30248 | The second thing considerable is, What kinde of sins these are? |
A30248 | There will then be no complaints, Why hath the Lord forsaken me? |
A30248 | Therefore let not the troubled heart say, where is my perfect repenting? |
A30248 | Think you this to be the voice of the Scriptures? |
A30248 | This Bernard urged, When, saith he, we urge men to repent, they say, this is durus sermo, an hard speech, who can bear it? |
A30248 | Thou therefore who sayest, God the Father is not offended, why then doth Christ perform the Office of an Advocate? |
A30248 | Throwing them into the sea, what doth this imply? |
A30248 | Thus when Aaron had made the Idolatrous Calf, how angry was God both with Aaron and the people? |
A30248 | To this what do they answer? |
A30248 | Two in a Bed, in a Family, in a Parish, one Justified, and the other condemned; What Grac ● is this? |
A30248 | VVE 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? |
A30248 | Were not all the sins men are afflicted for in Gods Word, because they had done them, not because they were to do them? |
A30248 | Were not they in Christ, and their sins laid upon Christ? |
A30248 | What a Cordiall and reviver would it be to Gods people, to live in the power of this gift bestowed upon them? |
A30248 | What a cutting sword must this needs be in Eli''s heart? |
A30248 | What devil, what conscience, what law may accuse thee when God justifieth thee? |
A30248 | What direct Antipodes are these to Scripture- directions? |
A30248 | What is that which makes me still to be reputed of as if I were a sinner in the very act? |
A30248 | What makes hell and damnation, but meerly not forgivenesse? |
A30248 | What necessity is there, that besides this there should be a special and gracious act of God to pardon? |
A30248 | What need a Christ to justifie, if there were no fault? |
A30248 | When David was reproved, how presently did he melt and condemn himself? |
A30248 | When he giveth quietnesse, who then can make trouble? |
A30248 | When 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? |
A30248 | Where can we finde any one man punished for a future sin? |
A30248 | Where is thy faith? |
A30248 | Where put you little children baptized? |
A30248 | Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord? |
A30248 | Whether God doth justifie or forgive our sins before we believe or repent? |
A30248 | Whether a Believer repenting and suing for pardon, is to make any difference between a great sin and a lesse? |
A30248 | Who are they that say, sins are actually pardoned before conversion? |
A30248 | Who can lay trouble on thy soul, binde thee in chains, and throw thee into hell, but God? |
A30248 | Who is a righteous man, but he that returneth love to God, for Gods loving of him? |
A30248 | Who shall charge any thing? |
A30248 | Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A30248 | Who would not think that while Gods goodness in the Scripture is thus unfolded, there should not be a dejected, unbeleeving Christian in the world? |
A30248 | Why doubtest thou? |
A30248 | Why is he not had into the Spouses Wine- cellar? |
A30248 | Why is he, as if there were no bloud of Christ, wherein these Egyptians are drowned? |
A30248 | Why is the godly penitent, as if his sins were alwaies in bloudy characters before God? |
A30248 | Why should not the Frog coming out of the lake to the Kings Throne, altogether tremble? |
A30248 | Why should this be spoken, but because they are for our sins? |
A30248 | Without a gracious solicitude and diligent depending upon God, how quickly may a star become like a dunghil? |
A30248 | Would not such a prohibition be ridiculous? |
A30248 | and if he may have the same faith, why not then the same consolations, and joy in conscience? |
A30248 | and in what darkness would he live alwayes? |
A30248 | and must not all say this is a chastisement upon him because of his sin? |
A30248 | and so God imputing their sins to them, Can God impute their sins to them, and not impute them to them at the same time? |
A30248 | and thus he that gave man and Angels this perfection of freedom, shall not he much more be free? |
A30248 | and what God would have the Magistrate do, is it not as much as if God himself had done? |
A30248 | and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? |
A30248 | and who but God can command all the tempests and waves in thy troubled soul to be still? |
A30248 | as if our transgressions had subdued his goodnesse, and thrown it into the bottom of the Sea? |
A30248 | as much pleased with David in his adultery and murder, as when making his penitential Psalm? |
A30248 | because sin is too strong for us, is it therefore too much for the grace of God also? |
A30248 | but rather ask, where is Gods forgiving? |
A30248 | doth there need the bloud of Christ to remove these? |
A30248 | even this very thing may support; for how could there be Justification, if there were not a charge? |
A30248 | for were not the godly under the Old Testament actually converted? |
A30248 | forgiven: again, If thou dost well, is not Levatio, that is, pardon and ease? |
A30248 | had they not Christs righteousnes made theirs? |
A30248 | he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
A30248 | how cometh it about then, that they were afflicted for sin, and not believers under the New Testament? |
A30248 | how hardly is the soul drawn off from resting in it self? |
A30248 | if ye be buffeted for your faults? |
A30248 | s ● ith Bellarmine: What is more clear then this place? |
A30248 | shall I weep because God is angry when he is not angry? |
A30248 | shall our sin abound to condemnation, more then his grace to justification? |
A30248 | shall we comfort them, because their hearts are sometimes dull and froward? |
A30248 | that he hath sin in him when he is afflicted) what is this( saith he) but to deny Christ and his bloud? |
A30248 | the Church crieth out, Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? |
A30248 | then with what boldnesse may true faith triumph? |
A30248 | was not David in his fall, till recovered, like a tree in winter? |
A30248 | were they not elected? |
A30248 | where is Gods not imputing? |
A30248 | where is my perfect obedience? |
A30248 | wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice? |
A30248 | whether they may be called sins of infirmity, though so atrocious in their nature, or raigning sins? |
A30248 | who can hinder it, or invalidate it? |
A30248 | who can then condemn? |
A30248 | who will compare some deformed Thersites to a fair Absalom, because of some imaginary beauty which is not in him? |
A30248 | who would desire it? |
A30248 | who would magnifie grace? |
A30248 | whose diseases were greater then mine? |
A30248 | why hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do this evil in his sight? |
A30248 | will nothing content thee, unlesse thou thy self art able to pay God the utmost farthing? |
A30248 | yea, 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? |
A26862 | 1 DOth not the Apostle say, that as touching the Righteousness which is in the Law, he was blameless? |
A26862 | 2. Who ever called Habits, or Dispositions, the souls Instruments? |
A26862 | 2. whether in his suffering and our escape the threatning of the Law was executed or dispensed with? |
A26862 | 27. what can be plainer? |
A26862 | 27. where( among other things) hee telleth you that Apud Romanos seu ferenda esset Lex, populus rogabatur an ferrivellet? |
A26862 | 39, 40, And must not they strive to enter in at the straight gate, and lay violent hands on the Kingdome of Heaven? |
A26862 | 4, 5, 6? |
A26862 | 5. that for these things sake cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience? |
A26862 | 6, 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? |
A26862 | A great question it is, Whether Remission and Justification be immanent or transient Acts of God? |
A26862 | Againe, doe you meane an habituall qualification or an Actuall? |
A26862 | Also 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? |
A26862 | And Moses, because he had respect to the recompence of Reward? |
A26862 | And all that cloud of witnesses obey and suffer, that they might attain a better Resurrection? |
A26862 | And are not Precepts to put us on to dutie? |
A26862 | And can it be any other then the obtaining of the fruition of God in Heaven? |
A26862 | And do I after all this need to answer the Common objections, that it is mercenarie and slavish, to labour for salvation? |
A26862 | And hath not every duty its end even for our selves? |
A26862 | And hath that no hand in their Iustification, which giveth them right to the tree of Life? |
A26862 | And how will these mistaken Teachers help them to comfort? |
A26862 | And 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? |
A26862 | And if dispensed with, how it can stand with the truth and justice of God? |
A26862 | And if so, whether his misery on Earth should have bin more then men doe now endure? |
A26862 | And if the righteous be scarcely saved, what shall become of them that thought it unlawfull to labour for salvation? |
A26862 | And if we are not one reall Person with Christ, then one what? |
A26862 | And is not earnest praying for life, pardon, and salvation, some proper kind of doing? |
A26862 | And is not this properly a condition required of the party if he will enjoy the thing promised? |
A26862 | And is remission and justification the immediate effect of Christs death? |
A26862 | And might he not conclude his Justification from that Willingness to obey? |
A26862 | And now the Question is, whether Christs suffering were the payment of the very debt, or of somewhat else in its stead? |
A26862 | And 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? |
A26862 | And so whether the new Covenant do at all command us perfect obedience? |
A26862 | And that beleeving is needless, not only as to our Justification, but to any other use: For what need one thing be so twice done? |
A26862 | And then whether the new Covenant be not absolute? |
A26862 | And what Law( to speak properly) did binde him to them? |
A26862 | And 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? |
A26862 | And what death it is that perishing infants die, or that our guilt in the first transgression doth procure? |
A26862 | And what is that but to fear the losse of Heaven, or to fear Hell? |
A26862 | And what saith Grotius more then this? |
A26862 | And whether sinners may thence be encouraged to conceive some hope of a relaxation of the threatnings in the Gospell? |
A26862 | And whether the faithfull may not feare lest God may relaxe a promise as well as a threatning? |
A26862 | And 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? |
A26862 | And whether those that seek not, and labour not for it, be not shut out? |
A26862 | And who dare say, that Faith hath such an influx into our Justification? |
A26862 | And why are the Threatnings but with the fear of the evill threatned to deterre us from the sinne, and to the dutie? |
A26862 | And why not to our entire continued justification on earth? |
A26862 | And why then should we think that we were immediately delivered from the guilt and condemnation? |
A26862 | And yet do you think you may not act or work for life and salvation? |
A26862 | And 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? |
A26862 | Are not all these promises to wicked men? |
A26862 | Are you in Heaven already? |
A26862 | As 1. what death it was that Christ redeemed us from? |
A26862 | Besides, if any of these three could have been taken off, what need Christ have dyed? |
A26862 | But God dealeth with his Creature by way of legall government? |
A26862 | But I pray you tell me, Have you received all the life and mercy you do expect? |
A26862 | But all the question is, whether we may do it that we may live? |
A26862 | But doth it therefore follow, that Christ dispenseth then to none but those that are in him? |
A26862 | But how shall we know that? |
A26862 | But 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? |
A26862 | But how would you comfort such a one, that faith he can not beleeve? |
A26862 | But is not this Antinomianism, which you so detest? |
A26862 | But is not this conditionall promise made to them before they return? |
A26862 | But now St. Iames his question is, What is the Condition of our Justification by this Righteousness of Christ? |
A26862 | But the great Question is, Whether the Sacrament do seal to the conclusion also, That I am justified, and shall be saved? |
A26862 | But though Faith be not the Instrument of Justification; may it not be called the Instrument of receiving Christ who Justifieth us? |
A26862 | But what difference is there betwixt it and the Socinian Doctrin of Justification? |
A26862 | But when shall I take him for one that will not heare the Church? |
A26862 | But whether to this alone, is all the doubt? |
A26862 | But your doubt may be, whether they did not deserve damnation while they were in their unbelief for resisting Grace? |
A26862 | But, is our personal Righteousness perfect as it is measured by the New Rule? |
A26862 | By what Law? |
A26862 | Can Justice refuse to accept of such a payment? |
A26862 | Can any more be said of Faith, then that we are justified or judged to Life, both[ for] it, and[ according to] it? |
A26862 | Consider then, if even many that seek to enter shall not be able, whether they are like to enter that never seek? |
A26862 | Did ever any sober man make such a Covenant with Christ, as to promise him never to sin against him? |
A26862 | Did he not deall with him in rigorous Justice? |
A26862 | Did he obey a Law not yet made? |
A26862 | Did not Abraham obey because he looked for a Citie which had foundations? |
A26862 | Did not God give Cain a title to his Superiority and Government, and the Israelites Title to the Land of Promise? |
A26862 | Did 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? |
A26862 | Do I need to apply this in the present case or can not every man apply it? |
A26862 | Do men enquire after that, and lament the want of it, which they are not willing to have? |
A26862 | Do not all that confesse themselves strangers on earth, plainlie declare that they seek another Countrie? |
A26862 | Do you all this in meer love, or thankfulnesse, or from obedience which hath no further end? |
A26862 | Do you not forget to make a difference betwixt earth and Heaven? |
A26862 | Do you not hereby insinuate an accusation of vanity at least against God and his Lawes? |
A26862 | Do you think you may act for your naturall life, to preserve it, or recover and repair any decayings in it? |
A26862 | Doe these men thinke that we are perfectly justified and saved already? |
A26862 | Doe you meane it is a qualification which he hath before the Promise is made to him? |
A26862 | Doth his Law threaten, or did we in our Covenant consent, that we should be condemned if ever we committed a gross sin? |
A26862 | Doth it not much confirm the world in their soul- cozening Faith? |
A26862 | Doth it not needlesly constrain men to wrest most plain and frequent expressions of Scripture? |
A26862 | Doth not almost all the Scripture for the doctrinall part consist of these? |
A26862 | Doth not he that never believeth break this Law or Covenant, and incur the penalty? |
A26862 | Doth not that clearely intimate, that Christ was not in the Obligation? |
A26862 | Doth this Act effect by suffering? |
A26862 | Else how could the Redeemed be by nature the children of wrath? |
A26862 | FRom 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? |
A26862 | For 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? |
A26862 | For is not Faith a work or act of ours? |
A26862 | For is this Covenant made with Christ? |
A26862 | For it is one thing to ask, whether it binde upon the old Covenant terms? |
A26862 | For search the Scriptures impartially and consider, whether seeking Heaven be not necessarie to the obtaining of it? |
A26862 | For( 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? |
A26862 | Gods glory and your salvation, not disjunct, but conjunct, are all the businesse you have to look after: What do you live for? |
A26862 | Had Christ, think you, a hard heart to cure? |
A26862 | Hath not Christ redeemed your body also? |
A26862 | Have you all the grace that you need or desire in degree? |
A26862 | He promised and gave them both Prophets and Apostles; was it no promise or mercy, because they killed and persecuted them? |
A26862 | He states the question far otherwise,( and yet supposeth it the same) viz, whether Christ paid the Idem, or the Tantundem? |
A26862 | He that is not yet a sinner in the highest degree, is he not so far Righteous by a personall Righteousness? |
A26862 | How Faith and Repentance are both promised of God, and required of us; Can they be his conditions and ours too? |
A26862 | How 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? |
A26862 | How can the Act of Believing( which hath no other being, but to be an Act) be possibly a Passive Instrument? |
A26862 | How can you make it appear, that Do this and live is not the proper voyce of the Covenant of Works? |
A26862 | How commonly doth Scripture joyn his Offices together, calling him usually, Our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ? |
A26862 | How could Christ be the Mediator of the Covenant, if it were to himself, and not to us, that the Covenant were made? |
A26862 | How could the Precepts delivered by Moses( when the old Covenant was violated, and the new established) belong to that old Covenant? |
A26862 | How far this Grace is resistible? |
A26862 | How long will it be till all the curse be taken off the Beleevers, and Redemption have attained its full effect? |
A26862 | How many score places in the Psalmes and Prophet, doe mention promises and Covenants of God to ungodly Israelites? |
A26862 | How you will make it appear, that the new Covenant is not made with Christ only? |
A26862 | I desire him to tell me, whether he can prove that any mans sinnes are pardoned before they have accepted Christ for their Lord? |
A26862 | I pray you tell me, Do you ever use to pray or no? |
A26862 | If Christ have fulfilled the new Covenant for us, as well as the old, what need we do it again? |
A26862 | If Christ were before you, would you accept him, or reject him? |
A26862 | If Works be not then considered as part of the Condition; how then? |
A26862 | If he did, upon what conditions is that satisfaction enjoyed by us? |
A26862 | If he say, I am not willing: I should ask; Why then do you look after it, or regard it? |
A26862 | If it were granted that Christ did receive the Sacrament; yet he never did as an obedientiall Act to his own Gospell precepts? |
A26862 | If not, why may you not labour for that you have not, as well as be thankfull for that you have? |
A26862 | If sincere obedience be a part of the Condition, then what perplexities will it cast us into to finde out, when our obedience is sincere? |
A26862 | If such a word were in Scripture, will he not confesse it to be figurative, and not proper, and so not fit for this Dispute? |
A26862 | If the Law be relaxable, whether God might not have freely remitted the offence, and have spared his Son his satisfactory sufferings? |
A26862 | If we are called holy, because of an imperfect Holiness: then why not righteous, because of an imperfect Righteousness? |
A26862 | If you ask me further, Why did Christ chuse this rather then any thing else for the Condition? |
A26862 | In what sence doth the Decalogue belong to the new Covenant? |
A26862 | In what sence then is Faith said to be imputed to us for righteousness, if it be our Righteousness it self? |
A26862 | Is it lesse worth, or doth not God require it, or will he not give you leave? |
A26862 | Is it not a wonder that this lamentable Comforter should be so valued by the troubled spirits? |
A26862 | Is it not said, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous person,& c. shall enter into the Kingdom of Christ, or of God? |
A26862 | Is it not strange that Active justification should be perfected 5000. yeares before Passive justification is in being? |
A26862 | Is it not then a likelier way to procure their consent, to treat with them in prison, then to let them out, and then treat? |
A26862 | Is it onely for your body, or also for your soul? |
A26862 | Is it onely that you may be thankfull for life and mercie? |
A26862 | Is not this spoken to Unbeleevers? |
A26862 | Is this Law? |
A26862 | Isaac is Gods mouth in blessing Esau: Were all the Israelites godly, to whom the Land of Canaan was promised and given? |
A26862 | It is agreed, that removens impedimentum quâ talis, is Causa sine quâ non: And doth not the greatest part of a Phisitians skill lye there? |
A26862 | It yet remaines under dispute whether the Threat speak not de eventu, as to the sinne, though but de jure, as to the sinner? |
A26862 | Lastlie, how is it that you do not see, that by this Doctrine you condemne not all the Saints onelie, but even the Lord himself? |
A26862 | Lastly, Is not this excluding of sincere Obedience from Justification, the great stumbling block of Papists? |
A26862 | Let us first therefore resolve that Question, what they seal? |
A26862 | May not that be the end of your duties, care, fear, labour, watchfulnesse? |
A26862 | May you not else as well give the seals to wicked men as the Covenant? |
A26862 | May you not groan after him, and enquire, and turn the stream of your endeavours this way? |
A26862 | Might not Paul conclude of the sincerity of his Willingness to obey Christ, because he did the evill which he would not? |
A26862 | Most passages in Maccovius doe affirm but that Christ obeyed for us, as well as suffered for us; and who denyeth that? |
A26862 | Must I be put to prove that the Apostles and Christ himself were not mercenarie slaves? |
A26862 | Must not all that will have life, come to Christ, that they may have it? |
A26862 | Nay, hath not God put you upon farre more for your soul, then for your body? |
A26862 | Now is it such a legall slavish mercenary thing for a Christian to seek after the fruition of God? |
A26862 | Now let us consider, how it sealeth? |
A26862 | Now let us see, whether this were the same that Christ did suffer? |
A26862 | Now the Question is which of the parts of this Argument the Sacrament doth seal to? |
A26862 | Now what is it that makes the Covenant? |
A26862 | Now what transient Act this is, and what its immediate reall Effect, who hath unfolded? |
A26862 | Oh sweet and blessed End? |
A26862 | Or can it require any more? |
A26862 | Or doth Christ call us to such a Covenant? |
A26862 | Or for such a ● Action as the killing of his onely Son would have been? |
A26862 | Or have you as full a certainty of it hereafter, as you do desire? |
A26862 | Or 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? |
A26862 | Or if you do, why may you not do as much for your soul, as for your body? |
A26862 | Or into any place or state of torment short of Hell? |
A26862 | Or that you might also improve them to some further advantage? |
A26862 | Or to be carefull that he may not be everlastingly deprived of it? |
A26862 | Or whence will they plead their Iustification at the barr of God? |
A26862 | Or whether Man may annihilate a Quality, though not a Substance? |
A26862 | Or whether all have sufficient Grace to beleeve, either given, or internally offered? |
A26862 | Or whether he hath at all made the Morall Law to be the preceptive part of the new Covenant? |
A26862 | Or whether hee should have lived such a miserable life for a season, and then be annihilated, or destroyed? |
A26862 | Or 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? |
A26862 | Or whether soule and body without separation should have gone downe quick together into Hell? |
A26862 | Or 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? |
A26862 | Perhaps you will say, was not Moses both? |
A26862 | Promises conditionall ▪ and Threats? |
A26862 | Question is, How it can stand with ▪ the Truth and Justice of God to dispense ▪ with his Threats? |
A26862 | Question is, May we not feare lest God may dispense with his Promises as well as his Threats? |
A26862 | Question is, whether sinners may not hence be encouraged to conceive some hope of a relaxation of the Threatnings in the New Covenant? |
A26862 | Question was, Whether the threatning was executed, or relaxed and dispensed with? |
A26862 | Seeing God hath promised us these which you call conditions, is not the Covenant therefore rather absolute, and more properly a promise? |
A26862 | Seeing 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? |
A26862 | Shall mans sinnes make Gods promises and mercies of lesse value? |
A26862 | Shall we come after him to do the work he hath perfected? |
A26862 | Shall we say therefore, that God threatned them with a Christ, rather then promised him? |
A26862 | So that if you ask me[ what is the formall Reason, why Faith Iustifieth?] |
A26862 | So that in what respect is our righteousnesse lesse excellent? |
A26862 | THerefore it is one thing to ask, whether the Covenant of Works be abolished? |
A26862 | That the Apostles dispute is upon the question, What is the Righteousness which we must plead against the Accusation of the Law? |
A26862 | The Promise is made to you and to your children? |
A26862 | The chiefe point of difference and difficulty lyeth higher, How the Righteousnesse of Christ is made ours? |
A26862 | The great Question is, of which sort is our Righteousness whereby we are justified? |
A26862 | The question therefore is, Whether Works do concur with Faith( as part of the Condition) in the very businesse of Justifying? |
A26862 | The time is neere when those future sins will be past also; what doth the Law require then? |
A26862 | Then this followeth howsoever, That they are righteous, and justified before they beleeve,( which what Scripture doth speak?) |
A26862 | There is evident a sincerity opposite to dissimulation: But a Morall or Theologicall sincerity there is not; Why is that? |
A26862 | They 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? |
A26862 | This being well considered, will direct you truly and punctually, where to find the very formall being and nature of Faith? |
A26862 | This is gracious acceptance, which Grotius maintaineth? |
A26862 | This 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? |
A26862 | This may help you to answer that question, Whether the Law without the Gospell be a sufficient Rule of Life? |
A26862 | This work must not be due, and so the performer not under the absolute soveraignty of another? |
A26862 | Thus we see in part the first Question resolved; what death it was that the Law did threaten? |
A26862 | To which I answer? |
A26862 | Turn over your whole Bible,& see whether it speak more of covenanting with Christ, or with us? |
A26862 | WHat one of our Church will maintain, that any one obtaines actuall Redemption by Christ without Faith? |
A26862 | Was not he the justifier here, who was the imputer of Righteousness? |
A26862 | What Scripture saith so? |
A26862 | What doe you take for such a renouncing of their Covenant? |
A26862 | What have we else to shew at Gods barr for our Justification, but the New Covenant? |
A26862 | What it was that Christ did suffer? |
A26862 | What saith Mr. Owen to any of this? |
A26862 | When 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? |
A26862 | When should He have risen? |
A26862 | When the Scripture saith, that Whosoever beleeveth shall be justified is it a learned Exposition which thus interpreteth it? |
A26862 | Where he learned, or how he can prove, that Justifying Faith is a believing that our sinnes are pardoned? |
A26862 | Whether Adams soule and body should immediatly have bin annihilated, or destroyed so as to become insensible? |
A26862 | Whether Christ did discharge this debt by way of solution or by way of satisfaction? |
A26862 | Whether Christ did first repeall that Law, and then re- establish it to other ends? |
A26862 | Whether Christs Lordship over all, do imply or prove his redeeming of all? |
A26862 | Whether Faith onely? |
A26862 | Whether God hath delivered things out of his own power in any kinde, by delivering them into the power of his Son? |
A26862 | Whether absolutely or conditionally? |
A26862 | Whether he cast away Gods image? |
A26862 | Whether it be any wrong to the redeemed themselves? |
A26862 | Whether it be not a wrong to the Redeemer, that the people whom he hath ransomed are not immediately delivered? |
A26862 | Whether that which is commonly called the Work of Conscience, be also from such an internall suasory work of the Spirit? |
A26862 | Whether the Precepts of the Gospel belong also to the old Covenant? |
A26862 | Whether the Precepts of the Gospel do belong to the Decalogue? |
A26862 | Whether the extolling of Christ the Mediator, or the restoring and saving of the offendors, were Gods more remote end, and principal intention? |
A26862 | Whether the redeemed are immediately upon the price payd, delivered from any of the curse of the Law? |
A26862 | Whether the reformation of the life doth not immediately even the same moment follow the hearts reformation? |
A26862 | Whether the sufferings of Beleevers are from the curse of the Law? |
A26862 | Whether the sufferings of the Elect before conversion are in execution of any part of the curse of the Law? |
A26862 | Whether then this Grace be Physicall or Morall? |
A26862 | Whether there be a Morall Suasion of the Spirit, distinct from the Suasion of the Word, and other outward means? |
A26862 | Whether this Authority and Dignity of Christ, be by Original Natural Right? |
A26862 | Whether this be not the subjection of the soul to Christ to be governed by him; and so a heart- reformation? |
A26862 | Whether this doctrine doth not tend to drive Obedience out of the world? |
A26862 | Whether to the Major, the Minor, or the Conclusion? |
A26862 | Why I call Christs Satisfaction the meritorious Cause, and the Causa sine quâ non? |
A26862 | Why I call the Gospell the Instrumentall Cause? |
A26862 | Why I do make affiance or recombency an immediate product of Faith, when it is commonly taken to be, the very justifying Act? |
A26862 | Why I make it only the Causa sine quâ non? |
A26862 | Why I make not Christs Righteousness the materiall Cause? |
A26862 | Why I make not Faith the Instrumentall Cause? |
A26862 | Why I make not the Imputation of it the formall Cause? |
A26862 | Why 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? |
A26862 | Why do you single out the book called, The marrow of modern Divinity, to oppose in this point? |
A26862 | Why have you all the mercies of your life? |
A26862 | Why is the love of our selves, and desire of our preservation so naturall? |
A26862 | Wicked 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? |
A26862 | Will you speak it to none but those who beleeve already? |
A26862 | Would not this love have Iustified? |
A26862 | Would you not have believers to esc ● ew evill and do good for fear of Hell, or for hope of Heaven? |
A26862 | Yet it is disputable whether these two last were directly contained in the threatning, or not? |
A26862 | Yet the former( as I have proved before& c.) is ours too, and our Righteousness too( though many Divines think otherwise:) but how? |
A26862 | Your 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?] |
A26862 | and a third, whether as a meer Precept? |
A26862 | and another thing, whether the Morall Law be abolished? |
A26862 | and consequently him to be no visible Christian who never professed such a Covenant? |
A26862 | and is it not his purchase, and charge, and work to provide for it? |
A26862 | and make him pay the uttermost farthing? |
A26862 | and so you bring in a greater necessity of publique covenanting, then those who are for Church- making Covenants? |
A26862 | and the contemplating of it, and admiring it, be our main employment? |
A26862 | and then enquire how they seal? |
A26862 | and what not? |
A26862 | another, whether upon new Covenant terms? |
A26862 | as 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? |
A26862 | before the absolving sentence at the great Tribunall; or the possession of the Kingdome, for which we wait in Hope? |
A26862 | but placing it in Consent or Acceptance? |
A26862 | but why should we separate what God hath conjoyned? |
A26862 | if not from all? |
A26862 | if not, why will you labour, and eat, and drink, and sleep? |
A26862 | is it possible that any sober considering man can think so? |
A26862 | it 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? |
A26862 | or Works also? |
A26862 | or as the man to Christ, who is my Neighbour? |
A26862 | or by Donation? |
A26862 | or by Purchase? |
A26862 | or by which we are justified as the proper Righteousness of that Law? |
A26862 | or his own Law, and so obey himself? |
A26862 | or may you pray for other mens souls, and not your own, when you are bound to love them but as your self? |
A26862 | or of all alike? |
A26862 | or only afflictions of Love, the curse being taken off by Christ? |
A26862 | or only sincere? |
A26862 | or that Gods Word hath not prescribed us a slavish task? |
A26862 | or whether God took it from him for sin? |
A26862 | or whether it be not a promise of some extraordinary permanent happiness which they shall receive at their last and great deliverance by the Messias? |
A26862 | or whether it be only the substituting him to be Vicegerent to the Father? |
A26862 | or whether they are onely Concomitants to that Faith which effecteth the business without their assistance? |
A26862 | or who is the looser? |
A26862 | seu tollendae, rogabatur, an tolli eam placeret? |
A26862 | should not then the searching into it be our main study? |
A26862 | so what end have the prohibition else? |
A26862 | the last of which Grotius maintaineth? |
A26862 | utrum melius sit miserum esse quam non esse? |
A26862 | whether God only could annihilate it? |
A26862 | whether the threatning were not fully executed in Adams death? |
A26862 | why 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 | ? |
A26977 | An Genus definiri possit? |
A26977 | An individua possint definiri? |
A26977 | An pars Logica definiri possit? |
A26977 | And Reader, what Reason bound me to confine this Case, to one only sort of Justification? |
A26977 | And 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? |
A26977 | And against the Reformed? |
A26977 | And are all these one Terminus, or hence one name then? |
A26977 | And are not all these set together enough to prove, that we justly own all asserted by these Texts? |
A26977 | And are we not all agreed of all this? |
A26977 | And 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? |
A26977 | And as to the Phrase, Doth this Doctor, or can any living Man find that Phrase in Scripture,[ Christ''s Righteousness is imputed to us]? |
A26977 | And can he have need of Sacrifice or Pardon, that is reputed never to have sinned( legally)? |
A26977 | And can you find no fairer a shift for disagreement? |
A26977 | And do you mean any more by[ OVRS]? |
A26977 | And do you think that he differeth from me in any of these Propositions, or how this sin is derived from Adam? |
A26977 | And do you think you know better what of mine is Elaborate, than I do? |
A26977 | And have I not then good Company and Encouragement not to change my Mind? |
A26977 | And have all my Readers already told you their Judgment? |
A26977 | And have you brought more Witnesses? |
A26977 | And how many make Forgiveness no part of Justification, but a Concomitant? |
A26977 | And how unable is my weak Understanding, to make his words at peace with themselves? |
A26977 | And if one of us be mistaken, must your bare Word determine which it is? |
A26977 | And if we be as Righteous as Christ, are we not as amiable to God? |
A26977 | And 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? |
A26977 | And is not all this beyond denial with Persons not studiously and learnedly misled? |
A26977 | And is not he a weak Man that can not talk thus upon almost any Subject? |
A26977 | And is not this plain English? |
A26977 | And is not this true? |
A26977 | And is that so? |
A26977 | And 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? |
A26977 | And is this the great difference between Papists and Protestants, which I am so loudly accused for not acknowledging? |
A26977 | And is à Lege Mortis, either from all the Obligation to Obedience, or from the sole mal ● diction? |
A26977 | And may we not go to God in our Names as Righteous? |
A26977 | And see you not that this is a lis de nomine, and of a name of your own introduction for illustration? |
A26977 | And should not those many Significations be distinguished as there is Cause? |
A26977 | And to contradict the common way of those with whom he joyneth? |
A26977 | And to shew the World that even where their keenest Adversaries condemn them, and draw Men from them, they do but justifie them? |
A26977 | And what hath he against this? |
A26977 | And what is imputed but Righteousness? |
A26977 | And what''s the dangerous Errour here? |
A26977 | And when will he prove that these two Sorts, or Parts, or Acts, may not be at once transacted at the same Bar? |
A26977 | And whence can a Relation be more fitly named, than from the fundamentum, whence it hath its formal being? |
A26977 | And whether this easie stating of Controversies, without more Explication or Distinction, be worthy an Academical Disputant? |
A26977 | And who is not Orthodox, himself being Judg? |
A26977 | And who knoweth what Law he meaneth, whose Maledictory Sentence Justification absolveth us from? |
A26977 | And who will thus dispute of the Definition and Causes of them, Efficient, Material, Formal, Final? |
A26977 | And why must your Pupils be taught so to conceive of so great a business, in it self so plain? |
A26977 | And why so? |
A26977 | And will you make any believe that Definition of Justification is none of these Works of Art, which depend on humane Skill? |
A26977 | And yet must we not be allowed Peace? |
A26977 | Are Logical Definitions the necessary Way to Heaven? |
A26977 | Are not Faith, Works, Just, Justice, Justification, words of divers senses in the Scripture? |
A26977 | Are not all these Reconcileable? |
A26977 | Are these things reconcileable? |
A26977 | Are they Malefactors so far as they agree with you in Doctrine, and are you Innocent? |
A26977 | Are they acquainted with all the[ Words that should make it intelligible?] |
A26977 | Are we any way Justified by our own performed Righteousness? |
A26977 | Are we reputed innocent in Christ, as to one part only of our lives,( if so, which is it?) |
A26977 | Are we reputed our selves to have fulfilled all that Law of Innocency in and by Christ, as representing our persons, as obeying by him? |
A26977 | Are you serious, or do you prevaricate? |
A26977 | Are 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? |
A26977 | Are you sure that it was Publick usage, and Imposition from whence they first received their being? |
A26977 | Ball, and multitudes such are visible still among us? |
A26977 | But I deny your Consequence: How prove you that it is none when applyed therefore? |
A26977 | But Reader, Why may not I denominate Justification ex parte principii? |
A26977 | But alas, what is Man, and what may Temptation do? |
A26977 | But as to the question, Have we kept the Law of Innocency? |
A26977 | But can his Righteousness be Ours no way but by the foresaid Personation Representating? |
A26977 | But did I ever deny that it is[ by Faith alone and without Works]? |
A26977 | But doth he here then agree with himself? |
A26977 | But doth he know but one sort of Law of God? |
A26977 | But doubtless, many that seem killed by such Blows as some of yours, are still alive? |
A26977 | But here is no Second mentioned: Is it in the nature of the things[ Justification, and Inherent Holiness]? |
A26977 | But how is he so made? |
A26977 | But if we must needs denominate from the Terminus à quo, how strange is it that he should know but of one sense of Justification? |
A26977 | But is a Man absolved( properly) from that which he was never guilty of? |
A26977 | But may it not be, by Faith alone in one sense, and not by Faith alone in another sense? |
A26977 | But not to punish is one thing and to Reward is another? |
A26977 | But sure, none at Oxford are in danger of taking me for an Oracle? |
A26977 | But what if I had known( as I do not yet) what sort of Justification he meaneth? |
A26977 | But what if all Divines were so agreed? |
A26977 | But what if the word[ Justification] had been found only as he affirmed? |
A26977 | But what is this Forum? |
A26977 | But what is this pronunciation in mente Divina? |
A26977 | But what proof of the consequence doth he bring?] |
A26977 | But what''s all this to the Phrase? |
A26977 | But what''s this to your Case? |
A26977 | But where is it written? |
A26977 | But where is that Est internum vel externum? |
A26977 | But which of these is it that we must needs name it from? |
A26977 | But who be these Men, and what be their Names? |
A26977 | But whose phrase is Justifying Works? |
A26977 | But why is the first Justification called Private? |
A26977 | But yet it will not serve: what is yet wanting? |
A26977 | But you say,[ Are perfect Contradictions no more than a difference in Words? |
A26977 | By what Law can he impose on me what to hold? |
A26977 | Can not I as easily say thus against you? |
A26977 | Could you have found that Phrase[ Christ''s Righteousness is imputed], why did you not recite the words, but Reason as for the sense? |
A26977 | De re, is not our Guilt of nearer Parent''s Sins such which you and all that you know( now at last) confess? |
A26977 | Did I ever say, that I differed not from you? |
A26977 | Did Mr. Gataker agree with Lucius and Piscator, when he wrote against both( as the extreams)? |
A26977 | Did Mr. Wotton, and John Goodwin, agree with Mr. G. Walker, and Mr. Roborough? |
A26977 | Did you Confute, or once take Notice of any of these? |
A26977 | Did you never teach your Sholars this,( in what words you thought best?) |
A26977 | Do I not expresly say, It is the Phrase that is not to be found in Scripture, and the unsound sense, but not the sound? |
A26977 | Do I say here that Scripture mentioneth not Imputed Righteousness, or only that strict sense of it? |
A26977 | Do all ordinary Believers by the use of the Scripture, know how to define? |
A26977 | Do any sober Men deny it, and charge God with Error or Untruth? |
A26977 | Do not I, with as great Confidence as you, lay Claim to the same Company and Concord? |
A26977 | Do not Logicians make true defining one of the surest signs of clear and accurate knowledg? |
A26977 | Do not you here proclaim, that Papists and Protestants differ not about the necessity of Good- works to Justification? |
A26977 | Do the meanest Christians know how to define Justification, and all the Grace which they have? |
A26977 | Do they not hold that Justification is more than an Absolution from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law? |
A26977 | Do you difference them Quoad ordinem, as First and Second? |
A26977 | Do you grant it of them Disjunctively, and yet maintain the contrary of them Conjunct? |
A26977 | Do you mean that I began with you? |
A26977 | Do you mean the words or the sense of Justification( as you call it) by Works? |
A26977 | Do you mean[ Rank Good- Works with Inherent Holiness, and not with the First Sanctification, and you then do widely differ from the Papists]? |
A26977 | Do you not invite me thus herein to be a Papist, when they rank them no where but, as you say, the Protestants do? |
A26977 | Do you think( for I must go by thinking) that he holdeth any other Derivation than this? |
A26977 | Doth Mr. Lawson, in his Theopolitica agree with you, and such others? |
A26977 | Doth he think that the Law of Innocency, and of Moses, and the Law of Grace are all one, which Scripture so frequently distinguisheth? |
A26977 | Doth not Christ say, By thy words thou shalt be justified? |
A26977 | Doth not Mr. Cartwright here differ from those that hold the Imputation of the Active Righteousness? |
A26977 | Doth not the Holy Ghost say, That a Man is justified by Works, and not by Faith only? |
A26977 | Doth not the World know, that Heathens and Christians, Papists and Protestants, are Agreed on this general Rule? |
A26977 | Doth the Scripture sufficiently reveal such Definitions to all? |
A26977 | Doth this Law,[ He that believeth not shall be damned] damn Believers? |
A26977 | Faith alone, and not Faith alone? |
A26977 | Faith with and without Works? |
A26977 | For we say that Faith was reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness: How was it then reckoned? |
A26977 | Forum Divinum est ubi Deus ipse judicis partes agit,& fert sententiam secundum leges a se latas? |
A26977 | Had it not been a Vanity of me, Should I in that sheet again have repeated, how I and the Papists differ about Justification? |
A26977 | Had you not been better, have silently past it by? |
A26977 | Hath every Man incurred the Curse by Moses Law that did by Adams? |
A26977 | Have I not now proved that he erreth and complyeth with the Papists? |
A26977 | He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me? |
A26977 | His Liberavit nos à Lege Mortis, I before shewed impertinent to his use, Is Liberare& Justificare, or Satisfacere all one? |
A26977 | How blind are some in their own Cause? |
A26977 | How can God accept him as just, who is really and reputedly a Sinner? |
A26977 | How easie is it to challenge the Titles of Orthodox, Wise, or good Men to ones self? |
A26977 | How easie is it to talk at this rate for any Cause in the World? |
A26977 | How far is he One person with us? |
A26977 | How few? |
A26977 | How frequently is Chrysostom by many accused as favouring Free- Will, and Man''s Merits, and smelling of Pelagianism? |
A26977 | How greatly do you dishonour your self,( and then you will impute it to me) by insisting on such palpably abusive Passages? |
A26977 | How many call on me for Retractation? |
A26977 | How much more then doth Learning to Mens salvation, than Grace? |
A26977 | How prove you that? |
A26977 | How shall we know that they grew not into publick use from one Mans first Invention, except those that( not Publick use, but) God Himself made? |
A26977 | How then came you to be so much better at it than I? |
A26977 | How then can Man be justified with God? |
A26977 | I tell you, I know not what your Judgment is, nor know I who is of your Mind? |
A26977 | I would such as you made not the Doctrine of Justification too little Practical? |
A26977 | If all are without Faith, Love, Justification, Adoption, who can not give a true Definition of them, how few will be saved? |
A26977 | If all the debt of our Obedience be paid, why is it required again? |
A26977 | If he do confess the Guilt, and deny it necessary, when will he tell us what is the Contingent uncertain Cause? |
A26977 | If he do not, why doth he call on me to prove it? |
A26977 | If not, against what or whom is all this arguing? |
A26977 | If not, is this Doctor more to be blamed for making them better than they are, or for making us worse? |
A26977 | If yea, Why do you excuse your Trudging, and why would you select a Suspended Book, and touch none that were Written at large on the same Subject? |
A26977 | Is Christ and each Believer one political person? |
A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness OVRS as it was or is His own, with the same sort of propriety? |
A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness OVRS? |
A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness OVRS? |
A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness imputed to us? |
A26977 | Is it Christs Divine, Habitual, Active or Passive Righteousness which Justifieth us? |
A26977 | Is it Christs Righteousness, or our Faith which is said to be imputed to us for Righteousness? |
A26977 | Is it any more than the Name ORIGINAL that you are so heinously offended at? |
A26977 | Is it as dangerous as you frightfully pretend to take it aliunde? |
A26977 | Is it here the Words, or Sense, which you accuse? |
A26977 | Is it like that any Dunce that is diligent, should Write no more Schollar- like at Sixty years of Age than at Thirty? |
A26977 | Is it not a doleful case that Orthodoxness must be thus defended? |
A26977 | Is it only, The Doers shall be Absolved from the Maledictory Sentence,& c.? |
A26977 | Is it that vain, blind, maimed, unmeasurably procacious and tumid Reason of the Cracovian Philosophers? |
A26977 | Is not all this talk of single Person, and Monarch in Divinity, and Appeals, the effects of a Dream, or somewhat worse? |
A26977 | Is not here sad defining, when neither of these are the Scripture- Justification by Christ and Faith? |
A26977 | Is our Controversie de re, or only de nomine, of the sense of the word Justifie? |
A26977 | Is the change of the sense of Words a strange thing to us? |
A26977 | Is the formal Relation of Righteous as an accident of our persons, numerically the same Righteousness? |
A26977 | Is the meaning only, I will not absolve the wicked from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law( of Innocency)? |
A26977 | Is the sense,[ How can Man be absolved from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law?] |
A26977 | Is the sense,[ No Man living shall be absolved from the Maledictory sentence of the Law? |
A26977 | Is there a Law, and unalterable Law for the sense of Words? |

A26977 | Is this distinction our proof of your accurateness in Method, and Order, and Expression? |

A26977 | Mr. 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? |
A26977 | Must that Name be shamed, by appropriating it to such as this Doctor only? |
A26977 | Must we needs proclaim War here, or cry ▪ out, Heresie, or Popery? |
A26977 | None that ever I heard or read of: Who knoweth not that the Papists take Justification for Inherent Holiness? |
A26977 | Not so: Can not God pardon sin, upon a valuable Merit and Satisfaction of a Mediator? |
A26977 | O Juniors, Will not such deceiving Words save you from my Deceits? |
A26977 | O Sir, had you no other work to do, but to Vindicate the Church and Truth? |
A26977 | Of 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? |
A26977 | Or Justitia? |
A26977 | Or any to the contrary? |
A26977 | Or can you not understand words, that plainly thus Distinguish? |
A26977 | Or did I ever deny any of this? |

A26977 | Or every Man fallen under the peremptory irreversible condemnation which the Law of Grace passeth on them that never believe and repent? |
A26977 | Or 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? |
A26977 | Or known in the Church for five thousand years from the Creation? |
A26977 | Or only of that intollerable sense of it? |
A26977 | Or rather, first, rub your Eyes, and tell us what is the Controversie? |
A26977 | Or rather,[ How can he be maintained Innocent?] |
A26977 | Or that I Retracted any of the Doctrine of Justification, which I had laid down? |

A26977 | Quid Justificationem vocat Paulus hoc loco? |
A26977 | Quid est, Propter Justificationem nostram? |
A26977 | Quomodo Justificatur Homo coram Deo? |
A26977 | Such Imputation of Righteousness, he saith, agreeth not with Reason or Scripture: But what Reason meaneth he? |
A26977 | That one, or those many? |
A26977 | The 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? |
A26977 | The Papists place Good- Works before Justification, that is, Inherent Holiness; and the Protestants more rightly place them before Inherent Holiness? |
A26977 | The Question is, only what or whose it is, Christ''s or our own? |
A26977 | The Scholar asketh, may I not refer the case to the standers- by, and wash my face if they say, It was no Fire? |
A26977 | There was a Disputant who would undertake to conquer any Adversary: When he was asked, How? |
A26977 | Therefore here the Question is, Whose judgment I shall take as most probable? |
A26977 | They agree not of the sense of the word[ Justifie,] and of the species of that Justification which Paul and James speak of? |
A26977 | This is true and well: But are we no where Justified by Faith but in Conscience, till after Death? |
A26977 | Was he mistaken in reciting the great differences about their Senses of Imputation of Christs Righteousness, if there were none at all? |
A26977 | Was not Abraham our Father justified, by Works? |
A26977 | Was 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? |
A26977 | Was not Camero, Capellus, Placeus, Amyrald, Dallaeus ▪ Blondel,& c. Reformed? |
A26977 | Was not Christ as our Mediator perfectly holy habitually, and actually, without Original or Actual Sin? |
A26977 | Were not Wotton, Bradshaw, Gataker,& c. Reformed? |
A26977 | Were not all the Divines before named Reformed? |

A26977 | What signifieth the[ First] then? |
A26977 | What would this do but more offend you? |
A26977 | What yet is the Matter? |
A26977 | What''s the reason you have not hitherto directed us to the particulars of your Recantation; what, when, where? |
A26977 | What? |
A26977 | When Mr. Danvers, and Multitudes on that side, Reproach me daily for Retractations, and you for want of them? |
A26977 | Where did I ever say, that I had Recanted? |
A26977 | Where, and when? |
A26977 | Whether Accidents may be properly defined? |
A26977 | Whether Definitio Physica( as Man is defined per Animam, Corpus& Vnionem) be a proper Definition? |
A26977 | Whether Definitio objectiva be properly called Definitio, or only Formalis? |

A26977 | Who would desire a sharper or a softer, a more dissenting or a more consenting Adversary? |
A26977 | Who would have thought but this was his drift? |
A26977 | Why did not Conscience at the naming of Calumnie say,[ I am now committing it?] |
A26977 | Why may not these two parts of one Man''s Cause be judged at the same Bar? |
A26977 | Why should you and I dispute thus about Matters of Fact? |
A26977 | Will none of your Readers see now, who cometh nearer them, you or I? |
A26977 | Will not this Man of Truth and Peace, give us leave to be thus far agreed, when we are so indeed? |
A26977 | Will you bear with the diversion of a story? |
A26977 | Wotton, and Mr. Balmford, and his other Adversaries, of the same Opinion in this? |
A26977 | Yea, or Adoption either? |
A26977 | Yes, if Gallus, Ambsdorfius, Schlusselburgius, and Dr. Crispe, and his Followers, be the Church? |
A26977 | You do not sure: But is it that I began with the Churches, and you were necessitated to defend them? |
A26977 | You will deal with it but as the application of that Rule to the Definition of Justification? |
A26977 | Your 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? |
A26977 | and that I take it for an Injury, because I ▪ Retracted them? |
A26977 | and that the Scripture mentioneth no other? |
A26977 | and that we are made Righteous in foro otherwise than to be just in our selves, and so Justifiable in foro, before the Sentence? |
A26977 | in other Points, but only those of[ High and difficult speculation]: And do you deny it there? |
A26977 | or as to all? |
A26977 | or do Protestants take the Sentence to be Constituting or Making us Righteous? |
A26977 | or, How can he be clean that is born of a Woman? |
A26977 | saith, Quid vanius est quam Justum arbitrari, qui Legem non impleverit? |
A26977 | was it in the ancient Creeds and Baptism? |
A26977 | which 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? |
A26977 | who 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? |
A20741 | 1. according to the translation of the Septuagints and the vulgar Latine, verba delictorum meorum the words of my sinnes; of what sinnes? |
A20741 | 1. shall wee continue in sinne, that grace may abound? |
A20741 | 1. 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? |
A20741 | 10. 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? |
A20741 | 13? |
A20741 | 14. and wherefore all this? |
A20741 | 14. what will it profit my brethren, if a man say that he hath faith, and have not workes, will faith save him? |
A20741 | 16. how shall we justifie our selves? |
A20741 | 17? |
A20741 | 21. was not Abraham our Father, saith hee, justified by workes, when hee had offered his sonne Isaack upon the Altar? |
A20741 | 26. ought not Christ to suffer these things and so to enter to his glory? |
A20741 | 26. who justifieth him that beleeveth in Iesus; how? |
A20741 | 28. yet doth tribulation merit? |
A20741 | 29. who will justifie him that sinneth against his owne soule? |
A20741 | 3. that the Apostle proveth, that even those who seeke to be justified by the Law are under the Curse, why? |
A20741 | 33. who can lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A20741 | 5. and from thence Bernard; m Cur non aliunde justitia cum aliunde reatus? |
A20741 | 5. and therefore not by inherent righteousnesse: how then? |
A20741 | 65. and how given? |
A20741 | 8. 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? |
A20741 | After a thousand virtues, whence doth hee pray to be saved? |
A20741 | Againe, b what other thing could cover our sinnes, but his righteousnesse? |
A20741 | Againe, k what is it to beleeve but to consent that the thing is true which is said? |
A20741 | An peccatum in semine peccatoris,& non justitia in Christi sanguine? |
A20741 | And againe, y what can all our righteousnesse bee before God? |
A20741 | And doth he require any other condition of us? |
A20741 | And elsewhere b: which of us can subsist without mercie? |
A20741 | And faith sheweth things to be visible which are not seene: How? |
A20741 | And how did hee prove good workes to be causes? |
A20741 | And how is this proved, which no man doubteth of, that grace is given by Christ? |
A20741 | And how shall we have remission by Christs satisfaction, if it be not applyed and communicated unto us? |
A20741 | And how then can he by the sufferings of this life, wherby he is not able to ● … atisfie for his sinne, deserve eternall life? |
A20741 | And 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? |
A20741 | And if c thou hast received it, why dost thou glory or boast, as if thou hadst not received it? |
A20741 | And if the good worke also be grace, how can it deserve a reward, and so great a reward from him that gave it? |
A20741 | And is this the meaning of the Apostle? |
A20741 | And 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? |
A20741 | And that hee proveth, because the Apostle saith, Ubi est gloriatio tua, Where is thy boasting? |
A20741 | And the Apostle Paul, being demanded of the Iaylour, what must I doe to bee saved? |
A20741 | And to such it will be said, Who required these things at your hands? |
A20741 | And what be these dispositions which must goe before justification? |
A20741 | And what boldnesse was that, for his good workes, that is, for his mortall sinnes, to expect x a Crowne of righteousnesse? |
A20741 | And what doe the Papists acknowldge more? |
A20741 | And what is it not to be worthy, or to be unworthy, but not to deserve? |
A20741 | And what is that justice, whereby he saith we are formally made just? |
A20741 | And what is the scope of the Law? |
A20741 | And what is this but to impute the obedience of Christ and his sufferings unto us? |
A20741 | And what then? |
A20741 | And what then? |
A20741 | And 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? |
A20741 | And who knoweth not, that the assent of faith determineth the judgement to that particular which is beleeved? |
A20741 | And why? |
A20741 | As if hee had said, have the just no good workes, which God will reward? |
A20741 | As if they should say, what dost thou command? |
A20741 | Augustine on those words, x Quis sustinebit? |
A20741 | Augustine, b Quanto labore dign ● … est requies, quae non habet finem? |
A20741 | Besides, if the rew ● … rd bee rendred as Bellarmine saith, Supra condignum ▪ how is it merited ● … x condign ● …? |
A20741 | Boasting ex ● … luded, by what Law? |
A20741 | But I aske, from whence? |
A20741 | But I beseech you what is the force of both these arguments? |
A20741 | But did hee bid them speake against verity? |
A20741 | But doth he not dispute the same question here? |
A20741 | But doth it from hence follow, that wee are justified by inherent righteousnesse? |
A20741 | But doth it hereof follow, that this grace is inherent? |
A20741 | But doth this word faith alwaies in the Scriptures fignifie the true justifying faith? |
A20741 | But how is he justified? |
A20741 | But how shall it appeare, who they are that are blessed and justified, for whom this kingdome is prepared, for whom this inheritance is purchased? |
A20741 | But how shall we know, who they are that shall be saved by Christ? |
A20741 | But how should we be saved by his obedience, if it be not communicated unto us, and made ours for our selves? |
A20741 | But if other merits are required besides, how his is merit acknowledged al- sufficient? |
A20741 | But if the Church militant bee meant, then of what time? |
A20741 | But if they bee justifications, whose are they? |
A20741 | But it will be said, Doth not he well that payeth his debt? |
A20741 | But some will say, doe you require no preparative dispositions going before justification? |
A20741 | But that justifying faith may be without charity, he saith not: for how can it bee a justifying faith and not profit? |
A20741 | But then say I, what becometh of the punishment,& the guilt binding over to punishment? |
A20741 | But though grace and truth were given by Christ, doth it follow, that therefore grace doth signifie grace inherent? |
A20741 | But to what end? |
A20741 | But to what will he prove them necéssary? |
A20741 | But upon all this being granted, what will he inferre? |
A20741 | But what doth this make for servile feare, which is found in them who have no grace? |
A20741 | But what is his reason? |
A20741 | But what is that righteousnesse of satisfaction? |
A20741 | But what is this to the purpose? |
A20741 | But what manner of thing is that, which is here said to worke? |
A20741 | But what saith Bellarmine elsewhere? |
A20741 | But what shall wee say to the inherent corruption, which Adam by his transgression contracted? |
A20741 | But what will Bellarmine inferre therefrom, that therefore they were not so? |
A20741 | But when the Apostle doth not once mention patience, how could hee bee so confident, as to aske, what could bee spoken more plainely? |
A20741 | But where doth the Apostle say, that good actions doe worke salvation? |
A20741 | But where is either the popish deletion of sinne, or infusion of righteousnesse? |
A20741 | But 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? |
A20741 | But whereof is it the foundation? |
A20741 | But whereto are they necessary? |
A20741 | But why doth hee flee from the Latine translation, unto which hee is bound? |
A20741 | But why is this love of God said to be shed forth in our hearts? |
A20741 | But why just? |
A20741 | But will hee from thence prove, that what grace is either given by Christ, or in measure, is not Gods favour? |
A20741 | But will it hereupon followe, that therfore they are, or may be justified by workes? |
A20741 | But you will aske, what cause? |
A20741 | But you will say, did Christ merit for us, that we should be idle? |
A20741 | But you will say, if a man must be justified before he receive the Sacrament, to what end doth hee then receive it? |
A20741 | But you will say, is not obedience to the Law required in the Gospell? |
A20741 | By Bernard in divers places? |
A20741 | By what Law? |
A20741 | By what Law? |
A20741 | By what reason? |
A20741 | Can a man bee profitable unto God? |
A20741 | Can wee have it by our owne charity, when wee can not know, as the Papists teach, that we have charity? |
A20741 | Can wee have it by the bare assent of faith without application or desire thereof, which is the onely faith which the Papists acknowledge? |
A20741 | Chapter of the Proverbs: when the righteous King shall sit on his throne, who can say my heart is cleane? |
A20741 | Cyril: o Faith, what is it else, but the true knowledge of God? |
A20741 | Doe you not see, how faith did co- operate to or with his workes? |
A20741 | Doest thou beleeve that Christ is thy Saviour? |
A20741 | Doft thou therefore truely beleeve in Christ, by a true and a lively assent receiving and embracing him as the Saviour? |
A20741 | Dost thou beleeve that our Lord Iesus Christ dyed for thee? |
A20741 | Doth affliction then worke salvation? |
A20741 | Doth he thank that servant, because he did the things that were commanded him? |
A20741 | Doth he that is to be justified bring any thing? |
A20741 | Doth it repent thee? |
A20741 | Doth not God accept Christs righteousnes for us, or did hee not thereby satisfie for us? |
A20741 | Doth not the afflicter merit? |
A20741 | Ergo, the faith of all, when they are first justified, is perfect? |
A20741 | For I pray, what is here said to worke? |
A20741 | For 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? |
A20741 | For first whereas Calvin, as he saith, demandeth, whether this bee a full definition of justification, or but halfe? |
A20741 | For how can t they beleeve in him of whom they have not heard, and by hearing knowne? |
A20741 | For how can we merit of God by that which is his? |
A20741 | For how doth he prove that they who have faith may worke sometimes without faith? |
A20741 | For 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? |
A20741 | For if it be, where is then remission of sinne? |
A20741 | For if thou Lord k marke iniquities, who shall stand? |
A20741 | For if you love those that love you, what reward have you, quam mercedem habetis saith Matthew, quae vobis est gratia? |
A20741 | For in that case it might have beene said to him: what hast thou, which thou hast not received? |
A20741 | For it is Gods righteousnesse, saith hee, when wee are justified, not of workes( that is, not by righteousnesse inherent:) and why so? |
A20741 | For 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? |
A20741 | For seeing it is God that justifieth them, who shall lay any thing to their charge? |
A20741 | For the righteousnesse, whereby a man is forma ● … ly just, is inherent in himselfe: for what is more intrinsecall than the forme? |
A20741 | For 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? |
A20741 | For what did the Law intend? |
A20741 | For what is remission of sinne, but the not imputing of it? |
A20741 | For what more unjust than this, and what more just than God? |
A20741 | For what other thing, saith he, could hide or cover our sinnes, but the righteousnesse of the Sonne of God? |
A20741 | For 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? |
A20741 | For where doth Saint Iames compare true faith to these rich mens idle knowledge? |
A20741 | For who is the Priest, and what is the Sacrifice? |
A20741 | For who may take upon him to remit those debts, which wee owe to God? |
A20741 | For whoever denied, that our adoption is as true, as our justification? |
A20741 | For, saith hee, What did the Law intend? |
A20741 | Fourthly, Chrysostome: e what did the Law intend? |
A20741 | From whom doest thou conceale it? |
A20741 | God, k saith the Pelagian, hath given possible Commandements and who denyeth this? |

A20741 | Gregory, g Quid? |
A20741 | He argueth they be causes: why? |
A20741 | Hierome, m( if yet it be Hierome) mentioneth three degrees but all of remission of sinne, for so hee saith: quibus modis remittuntur peccata? |
A20741 | Hierome; l quae est ista simplicitas, nescire quae credas? |
A20741 | His first allegation is this: nullane sunt merita justor ● … m? |
A20741 | How can wee plead merit before God who owe him all things? |
A20741 | How could our sinnes bee imputed unto Christ, and hee not bee counted a sinner? |
A20741 | How could they possibly bee communicated unto us, being both transient, and having now no being? |
A20741 | How doe wee forgive? |
A20741 | How is it grace if it be rendred of duety? |
A20741 | How then are we said to be justified through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus? |
A20741 | How then can either Adams disobedience, or Christs obedience be communicated unto us? |
A20741 | How then doth he prove it? |
A20741 | How then shall the judgement of God bee according to the truth, when hee declareth a sinner to bee just? |
A20741 | I may call my selfe just, sed illius justitiâ, but by his righteousnesse, and what is that? |
A20741 | I meane a true faith, who will deny? |
A20741 | If Gods grace bee not; how doth he save the world? |
A20741 | If hee be unprofitable who hath done all, what is to be said of him who was not able to fulfill? |
A20741 | If it be rendred according to workes, how shall it be esteemed mercie? |
A20741 | If it be rendred according to works, how shall it be accounted mercie? |
A20741 | If 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? |
A20741 | If patience in tribulation doth worke a weight of eternall glory, who can deny, but that there is some relation betweene patience and salvation? |
A20741 | If r thou Lord shouldest marke what is amisse, even in our best actions, who should be able to stand? |
A20741 | If the ceremoniall Law were an unsupportable yoke, how much more the morall? |
A20741 | If the same, how then are we not justified by the works of the Law? |
A20741 | If therefore it bee asked i qu ● … modo tenebo absentem? |
A20741 | If thou Lord should''st marke what is amisse, O Lord, who shall stand? |
A20741 | If wee be justified by the obedience of Christs life, what needed he to dye for us? |
A20741 | In whom was it possible, that wee sinners and ungodly should bee justified, but in the onely Sonne of God? |
A20741 | Is it our inherent righteousnesse, as the Papists teach? |
A20741 | Is it the Church triumphant, as it mayseeme, when she is said to be tota pulchra? |
A20741 | Is it then the righteousnesse of the Manhood? |
A20741 | Is not that therefore my righteousnesse which was made righteousnesse unto me? |
A20741 | Is the difference betweene us and the Papists in this great controvefie onely in words? |
A20741 | Is there any righteousnesse inherent in us, or performed by us, that can fully satisfie the Law? |
A20741 | Is this that, which thou commandest? |
A20741 | It 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? |
A20741 | It is true, that a true lively faith doth justifie alone, but what manner of saith is that? |
A20741 | It is true, that there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, but who are they? |
A20741 | Know you not, th ● … they which runne in the race, all runne indeed, but one receiveth the price? |
A20741 | Lord heare my voice,& c. if thou shouldest marke what is amisse, who should stand? |
A20741 | Maldonat 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? |
A20741 | Merces nostra gratia vocatur: figrati ● … est, gratis datur, quid est gratis datur? |
A20741 | Nam unde mihi tantum meriti, cui indulgentia pro corona est? |
A20741 | Non dixit, ego non sustinebo, sed, quis sustinebit? |
A20741 | Not of grace, for, as they teach, no man hath grace before Iustification: What then? |
A20741 | Now I know, that thou fearest God& c. Did not God know it before? |
A20741 | Now for the word justifie: shall I need to tell you, that by justifying we doe not meane sanctifying? |
A20741 | Now, as Augustine saith in the very next words going before, quid habere boni meriti possunt peccatores? |
A20741 | O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
A20741 | Of workes? |
A20741 | Or if it be mer ● … ted ex condigno; how is it supra condignum? |
A20741 | Paul cryeth out, how shall they beleeve, if they doe not hea ● … e? |
A20741 | Planè propter humilitatem: numquid contra veritatem? |
A20741 | Quid autem hac conclusione firmius? |
A20741 | Quid enim erat Dei videre peccata, nisi punire peccata? |
A20741 | Quorum delictorum? |
A20741 | Ridiculous: for how can it bee necessary to salvation without some relation to it? |
A20741 | Secondly, when the Apostle saith, you are saved by grace and not by workes, will they say hee excludeth onely workes going before salvation? |
A20741 | Shall then not onely other viatores be perfect, but incipientes also? |
A20741 | Si non est Dei gratia, quomodo salvat mundum? |
A20741 | So againe, by Iustification we are freed from the curse of the Law, and from the rigour and terrour or dominion it? |
A20741 | So saith Hierome m si inutilis est qui fecit omnia: quid de illo dicendum, qui explerenon potuit? |
A20741 | Tecta ergo peccata quare dixit? |
A20741 | That is, if there bee no workes to bee rewarded, neither good with blisse, nor bad with punishment, how shall God judge the world? |
A20741 | The Pastor therefore having demanded these questions, Brother dost thou rejoyce that thou shalt dye in the faith? |
A20741 | The second: If all the works of the righteous be sinnes, with what face could the Apostle say,* that h ● … knew nothing by himselfe? |
A20741 | These few may serve,* Hilarie what living man can bee justified in the sight of God? |
A20741 | They detaine the people in ignorance: and why? |
A20741 | Thirdly, that to the precepts hee hath added Counselles tending to perfection? |
A20741 | Thy righteousnesse is an everlasting righteousnesse: What is longer than Eternity? |
A20741 | To the testimony of Ambrose, Nonne evidens est meritorum aut praemia ● … t s ● … pplicia post mortem manere? |
A20741 | To what end then, as Bellarmine f well inferreth, did Christ take upon him our nature? |
A20741 | To what purpose then doth he urge this word, seeing Christ is just in justifying us, as well by imputation, as by infusion? |
A20741 | To whom ● … hen should he be a debtour by his promise? |
A20741 | Tribulation? |
A20741 | Vis scire ▪ saith hee, Naturam Dei, hoc scito quod nescias, wilt thou know the nature of God? |
A20741 | Was not the Priest the Son of God, both God and Man? |
A20741 | Was not the Sacrifice the flesh or human nature of the Son of God? |
A20741 | What are all merits to so great glory? |
A20741 | What can be more cleare? |
A20741 | What could bee spoken more plainely? |
A20741 | What could q man doe of himselfe to recover his righteousn ● … sse once lost, being the servant of sinne and the bondman of the devill? |
A20741 | What followship hath light with darkenesse? |
A20741 | What good merit can sinners have? |
A20741 | What sillinesse is this, not to know the things which thou doest beleeve? |
A20741 | What then becometh of remission of sinne, which according both to Scriptures and Fathers concurreth to justification? |
A20741 | What then will become of our sinnes, seeing our righteousnesse can not answere for it selfe? |
A20741 | What then? |
A20741 | What then? |
A20741 | What then? |
A20741 | What will hee from thence inferre? |
A20741 | Where is boasting then? |
A20741 | Wherefore q Bernard, Quid sunt, saith he, omnia merita ad tantam gloriam? |
A20741 | Who shall condemne,& c? |
A20741 | Why did hee confirme them by oath? |
A20741 | Why did they murmure at their Lords unequall dealing? |
A20741 | Why doth hee call it 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, lot or inheritance by lot? |
A20741 | Why then did the Lord in every Chapter almost of his story renew and repeat his promises unto him? |
A20741 | Why then did their fellow labourers expect a greater reward? |
A20741 | Why then doth Peter require them to whom he had preached, to repent and to be baptized? |
A20741 | Why then, saith Augustine,* should not this perfection bee enjoyned to man, though no man in this life have it? |
A20741 | Why? |
A20741 | Why? |
A20741 | and all our righteousnesse, if it bee straitly judged, will it not be found unjust and defective? |
A20741 | and how shall they preach except they be sent? |
A20741 | and if there bee no free- will, how doth hee judge the world? |
A20741 | and so on the other side, what is his not seeing or covering of sin, but his not punishing or pardoning it? |
A20741 | and what manner of thing is that, which is here said to bee wrought? |
A20741 | are not we justified as they were? |
A20741 | being justified, i it is certaine, that they are called according to his purpose: and i ● … so called, then elected: are they elected? |
A20741 | by infusion, or by imputation? |
A20741 | c Quomod ● … est gratia, si ex debito redditur? |
A20741 | de quo dictum est, qui peccatum non fecit, non inventus est do us in ore eius? |
A20741 | doest thou beleeve that thou canst not bee saved but by his death? |
A20741 | doest thou confesse that thou hast not lived so well as thou ought? |
A20741 | e Oecumenius in like maner: If any man should say, what is this to us? |
A20741 | for what is Gods seeing of sin, but his punishing of sin? |
A20741 | for whence should I have so great merit, to whom indulgence is for a crowne? |
A20741 | h Ambrose, Quando impletur in ● … bis justificati ● …( Legis) nis ● … cum datur remissi ● … omnium peccatorum? |
A20741 | hast thou a will to amend, if thou hadd''st space of life? |
A20741 | how can it be communicated and made ours, but by imputation? |
A20741 | how can it bee made ours, but by imputation? |
A20741 | how come wee to have this peace, this confidence, this joy, this undaunted hope? |
A20741 | how is our debt satisfied? |
A20741 | how should I lay hold upon him that is absent? |
A20741 | how should I send up my hand into heaven, to lay hold on him sitting there? |
A20741 | how then doth he say, of my sinnes? |
A20741 | if it be rendred according to works, how shall it be esteemed mercie? |
A20741 | if wee be not justified by good workes nor saved for them, are they therefore to be neglected? |
A20741 | it is God that justifieth, who shall condemne? |
A20741 | it is God that justifieth: who is hee that condemneth? |
A20741 | k Quid meriti apud Deum poterimus obtrudere, qui debemus omnia? |
A20741 | not because there is no merit, either good of the godly, or bad of the wicked, otherwise how shall God judge the world? |
A20741 | of workes? |
A20741 | or if it did, that, that inherent grace is justifying grace? |
A20741 | or is it not the righteousnesse and satisfaction of Christ, by whose stripes o we are healed? |
A20741 | quae a. spes est? |
A20741 | quid possumus dignum praemiis facere coelestibus, what can wee doe worthy the heavenly rewards? |
A20741 | quomodo erg ● … dicit delictorum ● … eorum? |
A20741 | quomodo in coel ● … m manum mittam ut ibi sedentem teneam? |
A20741 | quoniam apud te propitiatio est:& quae est ista propitiatio, nisi sacrificium? |
A20741 | saith Luke, what thankes have you? |
A20741 | saith he, of whom it is said, that he did no sinne, neither was any guile found in his mouth? |
A20741 | shall I abandon knowledge? |
A20741 | shall it not, according to the Prophet, be reputed as the cloth of a menstruous woman? |
A20741 | shall we continue in sinne that grace may abound? |
A20741 | shall we sin, because wee are not under the Law, but under Grace? |
A20741 | that we should not bee adultresses? |
A20741 | to justification? |
A20741 | to what end and purpose did he humble himselfe to doe and to suffer so great things for us? |
A20741 | tribus: by what wayes are sinnes remitted? |
A20741 | ut non viderentur: why then did he say that sins are covered? |
A20741 | what spirituall favour or grace tending to salvation hath God vouchsafed unto us, otherwise than in and by Christ? |
A20741 | what then? |
A20741 | when is the justification of the law fulfilled in us, but when the remission of all our sinnes is granted to us? |
A20741 | whence then shall I have Faith? |
A20741 | whence then shall I have knowledge? |
A20741 | will any other duty or grace save a man, or entitle him to salvation? |
A20741 | will you say, if we bee neither justified by good workes nor saved for them, are they therefore to bee neglected? |
A20741 | — by what merit of man is it granted: that this corruptible flesh should put on incorruption? |
A20741 | — quis staret in judicio tuo? |

A17299 | 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? |
A17299 | 34. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A17299 | 9. Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane, I am pure from my sin? |
A17299 | 9. Who knoweth, if God will returne and repent, and turne away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? |
A17299 | A faith common to reprobates? |
A17299 | A temporall deliuerance only? |
A17299 | A wilds Asse vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde at her pleasure, in her occasion who can turne her away? |
A17299 | Ad hoc incertum, Niniuitae poenitentiam egerunt: dixerunt enim,& c. What hidden? |
A17299 | Against whom, what accusation of sinne can be produced, but may easily bee proued? |
A17299 | All other vnions, what are they to that one supreame, and( as I may so say) that onely one, where consubstantiasity makes the vnity? |
A17299 | Am I hereupon carelesse how I liue, because I haue receiued the euidence of Gods fauour towards mee in Christ? |
A17299 | An euill tree doth not beare good fruit: Do est thou callan vnfaithfull man a good tree? |
A17299 | And St. Augustine in his Soliloquies, saith sweetly: Vnde gloriabitur omnis caro? |
A17299 | And St. Augustine to the same purpose, speaking of Peters Faith, proper to the Elect, saith, Dic, quae fides? |
A17299 | And doth hee know this by Faith? |
A17299 | And doth hee not then know, that hee is of the number of Gods elect? |
A17299 | And elsewhere he saith: Vnde mors in anima? |
A17299 | And first, let him be demanded: Brother, doest thou reioyce, that thou shalt dye in the faith? |
A17299 | And for Abrahams faith in Gods promise, what seed of Abraham was this, in whom all the Nations of the earth should be blessed? |
A17299 | And for perseuerance the same Bernard saith: Quis nos separabit à charitate Dei? |
A17299 | And he produceth Hieromes exposition, vpon the second of Ioel, Who knoweth, if God will repent, and pardon? |
A17299 | And if God the Iudge do iustifie, who shall condemne? |
A17299 | And if men hauing this faith, may notwithstanding be damned, and carry it with them to hell, how is it a iustifying faith? |
A17299 | And in another place hee saith, Si Gentilis( inquis) nudum operuit, nunquid quia non est ex fide, peccatum est? |
A17299 | And is not this loue the highest degree of charity that can bee? |
A17299 | And shall the Elect themselues, who bring forth this Fruit, and haue this Faith, say, Perhaps they shall not perseuere? |
A17299 | And the same Father addeth: What is the property of Faith? |
A17299 | And this is the confidence that wee haue in him,& c. Now, hath euery true Beleeuer eternall Life? |

A17299 | And what is the tidings? |
A17299 | And what more contrary to the Scriptures; which say, If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature? |
A17299 | And who are they that peruert the Scriptures to their owne destruction, but as St. Peter saith, the vnlearned and the vnstable? |
A17299 | And why at this time doth hee command all Christians to betake themselues to the Scriptures? |
A17299 | And 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? |

A17299 | Basil saith, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what is the property of faith? |
A17299 | Because the Niniuites sins were great, they said, Who knoweth? |

A17299 | But his pride ouerthrew all: Yet did he not ascribe his vertues to the worke of God in him? |
A17299 | But how doe they proue, that this their repentance goes before faith in Christ in nature, and in the order of causes? |

A17299 | But 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? |
A17299 | But to what purpose, when now the sentence was already pronounced of him that can not lye? |
A17299 | But was he therefore, or thereby iustified? |
A17299 | But was the Repentance of Ahab and of the Nineuites acceptable to God, because God for the present forbore to punish them? |
A17299 | But what Faith? |
A17299 | But what Repentance is this? |
A17299 | But what do we certainly and vndoubtedly beleeue? |
A17299 | But what might bee the meaning of this word Ineuident? |
A17299 | But what need we further testimonies to vindicate this Catholick truth, that the authority of holy Scriptures was euer aboue the Church? |
A17299 | But what''s the reason, that Vega will not pitch vpon one certaine and distinct Faith, specially meant by the Apostle? |
A17299 | But whence proceeded this their vncertainty? |

A17299 | But why so commonly impute iustification to Faith? |
A17299 | But why vnder Pontius Pilate? |
A17299 | But will the Pontifician say, Mans free- will is not for all this excluded from being an ingredient, at least in preparation? |
A17299 | By Faith Abraham, being called, went out,& c. Was it not by Faith in Gods promise? |
A17299 | By 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? |
A17299 | Can Emperours and Commanders in any Armie haue their wils presently obeyed, and put in execution, without demanding a reason of them? |
A17299 | Can a bad tree bring forth good fruit, saith Christ? |
A17299 | Chapter hath reference; which Prouerbe also gaue occasion to this whole Chapter? |
A17299 | Christo enim sic eos ponentevt eant,& fructum afferant,& fructus eorum maneat: quis, audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit? |
A17299 | Christs passiue obedience therefore being it selfe also actiue, how can these two possibly bee separated and diuorced one from the other? |
A17299 | Chrysostome vpon the third Chapter to the Romanes, saith, What is the Law of Faith? |
A17299 | Deuout a Bernard saith, Nonne si fluctuat fides, inanis est& spes nostra? |
A17299 | Did St. Peter meane, that the faithfull should be doubtfull, or vncertaine of their saluation? |
A17299 | Did he not bring forth many fruits of faith, many good workes of charity, piety, mercy, hospitality, obedience, humility, and the like? |
A17299 | Did he not, according to Gods direction, take and apply the lumpe of dry Figgs to the plague- sore, and so recouered? |
A17299 | Did not Dauid know this by the certainty of faith? |
A17299 | Did not therefore Moses repent him of his sinne? |
A17299 | Do we not see here a manifest difference between Augustines owne application of vncertainty,& Vega''s strained application? |
A17299 | Doe we euer reade, that God made man to be his owne Sauiour, as Pontificians blasphemously auouch? |
A17299 | Doe wee know, that God loues vs in Christ? |
A17299 | Doest thou beleeue that the Lord Iesus Christ, the Sonne of God, dyed for thee? |
A17299 | Doest thou beleeue thou canst not bee saued, but by his death? |
A17299 | Doest thou from thy heart thank him for this? |
A17299 | Doest thou repent of it? |
A17299 | Dost thou commend the admirable wisedome of God, in teaching man to ascribe the iustification of Faith to the mercy and glory of God? |
A17299 | Doth Gregory hence conclude, that the elect is vncertaine of saluation, or that it is possible for him to become a reprobate? |
A17299 | Doth any fall away, and apostatize from the truth? |
A17299 | Doth the Councell of Laterans Decree dare vs, not to mention Antichrists comming? |
A17299 | Doth this proue that hee was one of Gods eternall election? |
A17299 | Dye they not in a most preposterous malice and enuy? |
A17299 | Else what true Faith is it? |
A17299 | Ergo animae tuae anima fides est: Whence is death in the soule? |
A17299 | Ergo& Diabolus electus est? |
A17299 | Euery mans iudgement? |
A17299 | Examine: What? |
A17299 | Faith then being certaine, and confirmed also by the seale of Gods Spirit, what more certaine? |
A17299 | Faith then is the seale of Gods testimony; and what greater certainty or assurance can be, than in a seale? |
A17299 | Faith( say they) is the roote of all Iustification: placing their iustification in hope, and loue,& c. How then is Faith the roote? |
A17299 | For God can not make vs, who are creatures, to bee Gods, infinite with himselfe the Creator? |
A17299 | For I would aske them, whom they meane by their Adulti, or men of yeares? |
A17299 | For Salomons saying, Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane? |
A17299 | For 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? |
A17299 | For else, if thou Lord wert with vs, how should so many calamities and disasters fall vpon vs, and vpon thy people round about vs? |
A17299 | For first: whether was the Word of God, or the Church more ancient? |
A17299 | For himselfe? |
A17299 | For how can a man that is truely and infallibly certaine, be sayd therein vainely to presume? |
A17299 | For how can the action bee acceptable, when the person is not? |
A17299 | For 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? |
A17299 | For if faith bee wauering, is not our hope also vaine? |
A17299 | For the preaching of the Gospel, what is it, but a beame of this grace of God shining vpon sinners? |
A17299 | For what if a man, yea the holiest man, if Dauid doe not know his sinnes, his slippes, and errors? |
A17299 | For what rest can our spirit haue, while it retaineth as yet no testimony of its predestination? |
A17299 | For what righteousnesse( I pray you) is that, which the Prophet there speakes of? |
A17299 | For what saith the Scripture? |
A17299 | For whatsoeuer authority the Church of Rome hath, if shee haue it not from the Scriptures, of what worth is her authority? |
A17299 | For who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ? |
A17299 | For, Who shall now lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? |
A17299 | For, how can a thing be certaine,& yet false, vnlesse it be certainly false, or a false certainety? |
A17299 | For, what certainty of Faith can there bee, if the holy Scriptures, the obiect and ground of Faith, be not certaine? |
A17299 | For, what saith the Scripture? |
A17299 | From their faith? |
A17299 | Fructus bonos non facit arbor mala: An dicis hominem infidelem arborem bonam? |
A17299 | God giueth more grace, saith St. Iames: and what followeth? |
A17299 | Gregory saith well, Hee that knowes not his disease, how doth he seek to the Physitian? |
A17299 | Had hee the true grace of iustification, whereby he was accepted with God? |
A17299 | Had not then this great loue of God beene vtterly lost? |
A17299 | Had not this gift beene such, as no man would receiue it? |
A17299 | Haec non est gloria, sed miseria: sed nunquid gloriabitur de bono? |
A17299 | Hast thou a will and purpose to amend, if thou shouldst haue time to liue longer? |
A17299 | Hast thou not heard the Apostle, The iust shall liue by faith? |
A17299 | Hast thou so much power to doe good, and dost it not? |
A17299 | Hath not God made the wisedome of this world foolishnesse? |
A17299 | Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill? |
A17299 | Hauing therefore, Brethren, boldnesse to enter into the most holy by the bloud of Iesus: saith: Whence is this boldnesse? |
A17299 | He alledgeth that of Dauid, Who can vnderstand his errors? |
A17299 | He hauing said, Hee hath mercy on whom hee will, and whom hee will, hee hardeneth: and thou replying, Why then doth God yet complaine? |
A17299 | He may say, Who shall fetch Christ from aboue, that I may haue him within my reach? |
A17299 | Hence, Saint Augustine to Consentius, sayth: Quis it a euanescat, vt existimet Petrum hoc habuisse in corde, quod in ore, quando Christum negauit? |
A17299 | Hereupon he inferreth, if a man doe not know his sins, how can he be sure of his iustification? |
A17299 | How beleeued he? |
A17299 | How by faith? |
A17299 | How can man bee iustified with God? |
A17299 | How comes Pontius Pilate in our Christian Creed? |
A17299 | How comes the vngodly to be iustified, if hee bring any merit to dispose him thereunto? |
A17299 | How dangerously did the serpent incounter him, and bound him with grieuous chaines? |
A17299 | How did Dauid know that God had forgiuen his sinnes, seeing he saith peremptorily, Thou forgauest the iniquity of my sinne? |
A17299 | How different from the Councell of Trent? |
A17299 | How doth Faith worke by loue, before it haue charity? |
A17299 | How is that? |
A17299 | How 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? |
A17299 | How shall a man come to Christ, wearie and laden, that he may be refreshed? |
A17299 | How shall it be tryed? |
A17299 | How shall the Law then be our Schoolmaster to bring vs to Christ, who came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance? |
A17299 | How should England, formerly a terrour to her neighbours, become now their scorne and derision? |
A17299 | How should man be iust with God? |
A17299 | How so? |
A17299 | How then comes this forraine righteousnesse vpon an vngodly man? |
A17299 | How 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? |
A17299 | How? |
A17299 | How? |
A17299 | How? |
A17299 | I aske therefore who this Manicheus is? |
A17299 | I demand not yet, how thou liuest: but how thou beleeuest? |
A17299 | I know whom I haue beleeued, and am certaine, cryeth the Apostle; and doest thou whisper, faith is an opinion? |
A17299 | I might answer with the Apostle; O vaine man, who art thou that repliest against God? |
A17299 | If 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? |
A17299 | If a Heathen( saist thou) shall couer the naked, is it therefore a sin, because it is not of faith? |
A17299 | If it had not been Abrahams speciall Faith, how had it beene imputed to him for righteousnesse? |
A17299 | If this Faith of his be a firme and certain perswasion, how is it vneuident? |
A17299 | If thou, Lord, shouldst marke iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? |
A17299 | In the sight of God? |
A17299 | In this respect the Apostle makes a challenge in the behalfe of all Gods chosen: Who shall condemne them? |
A17299 | In 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? |
A17299 | In vs? |
A17299 | Indeede St. Augustine saith, Quid est aliud iustificati, quàm iusti facti? |
A17299 | Is euen a Deuill then elected? |
A17299 | Is it not therefore, because thou art sanctified by the death of Christ? |
A17299 | Is it not therefore, because thou beleeuest in Christ? |
A17299 | Is it regeneration begun and in part? |
A17299 | Is it that righteousnesse, whereby wee are iustified in Gods sight? |
A17299 | Is it therefore Gospel, because Manicheus saith it? |
A17299 | Is not regeneration a worke of our saluation? |
A17299 | Is not( at the least) the hearing of the Word a worke of preparation to grace? |
A17299 | Is that sufficient? |
A17299 | Is the promise of God in Christ therefore such a little ● tomus, such a perexigua particula, such a small mote in the eye of Faith? |
A17299 | Is there no more difference betweene, Do this, and liue: and, Beleeue, and liue? |
A17299 | Is this true faith therefore acceptable to God? |
A17299 | Iste verò audire meruit, Dimissum est tibi peccatum tuum; To him it was said, Why do est thou persecute me? |
A17299 | It is God that iustifieth, who is he that condemneth? |
A17299 | It is God that iustifieth, who shall condemne? |
A17299 | It is God that iustifieth; who is he that condemneth? |
A17299 | It was vncertaine, when they said, Quis nouit? |
A17299 | Iustin Martyr saith: Quid aliud peccata nostra potuisset tegere, quàm Christi iustitia? |
A17299 | Know yee not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except yee be Reprobates? |
A17299 | Let no man dare to say, Why doth he yet complaine? |
A17299 | Mah nits tadhac? |
A17299 | Nam si non tremueris eum, auferet quod dedit: Why with trembling? |
A17299 | Nay 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? |
A17299 | Nay, are they not rather the further off from Christ, by how much nature seemes more excellent and perfect in them? |
A17299 | Nay, doth he not protest the contrary? |
A17299 | Nec dicat sibi quis, si ex fide, quomodo gratis? |
A17299 | No; but Augustine tels vs the reason: Quia peccata magna erant Niniuitarum, dixerunt, Quis nouit? |
A17299 | No? |
A17299 | Non audisti Apostolum, Iustus ex fide viuit? |
A17299 | Non dicat ista homo fidelis; quia cum dixerit, vt merear iustificationem, habeo fidem: respondetur ei, Quid enim habes, quod non accepisti? |
A17299 | Nondum quaero, quid viuas: sed quaero, quid credas? |
A17299 | Nonne ergo certo futurum, quod praesciebat Deus? |
A17299 | Nonne si fluctuat fides inanis est& spes nostra? |
A17299 | Nonne vos,& c. Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill? |
A17299 | Nor let any man say to himselfe, if it be of faith, how is it freely? |
A17299 | Note, here is the Gospel preached; to who? |
A17299 | Note, the Apostle vseth here the termes of a iudiciall triall: Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A17299 | Nothing? |
A17299 | Now by what speciall signe is the body of a man known to liue? |
A17299 | Now concerning the imputation of Christs righteousness, what do they understand by it? |
A17299 | Now for whom was Christ, in the condition of his life, a seruant? |
A17299 | Now hath God laid a foundation, and shall not he finish? |
A17299 | Now how are we made the righteousnesse of God in Christ? |
A17299 | Now how can any man reioyce of that, whereof hee is vncertaine and doubtfull, and which he knoweth not? |
A17299 | Now how doth Soto, with all his subtilty, acquit his Pighius from being an hereticke in so saying? |
A17299 | Now how shall all this be repaired againe? |
A17299 | Now 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? |
A17299 | Now 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? |
A17299 | Now to stirre vp, what is it else, but as it were to awaken one from sleepe? |
A17299 | Now to what time or condition, had Gods act or purpose of separating these two, one from the other, speciall reference? |
A17299 | Now was not beleeuing Abraham a regenerate person? |
A17299 | Now what boldnesse or confidence can a man haue, without assurance and certainty? |
A17299 | Now what is it to put on Christ, but to make him wholly ours? |
A17299 | Now what is it, that maketh a man confounded or ashamed, but sinne; and shame, the punishment of sinne? |
A17299 | Now what is more sure and certaine than an euidence, or plaine demonstration? |
A17299 | Now what righteousnesse doth this holy man meane here? |
A17299 | Now will not he finde, thinkest thou, an infinite lightnes in thy best works? |
A17299 | Nunquid de malo? |
A17299 | Nunquid si immundam egerit vitam, non iudicatur? |
A17299 | O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the truth? |
A17299 | Of euill? |
A17299 | Or can wee say, Our heart is not turned backe, nor our steps declined from thy way? |
A17299 | Or doth God elect men to saluation, for the goodlinesse of their person? |
A17299 | Or doth the Gospell depend vpon the testimony of one man? |
A17299 | Or is the Apostles Faith working by loue, a Faith vnformed? |
A17299 | Or that they goe about to betray Christ with Hayle Master? |
A17299 | Or what is that loue the Apostle speaketh of, but charity? |
A17299 | Or, That wee haue not forgotten the Name of our God, nor stretched out our hand to a strange God? |
A17299 | Or, that their perseuerance is doubtfull? |
A17299 | Otherwise, what reall difference can bee imagined to be betweene them? |
A17299 | Our Sauiour saith, Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill? |
A17299 | Pay him all, when hee had nothing to pay? |
A17299 | Psalme, vpon the same words of the Apostle, Augustine saith; Quare cum tremore? |
A17299 | Qu ● m noxie ei luctatus est serp ● ns,& gra ● ● bus ● um spirit ligauit? |
A17299 | Quae incerta? |
A17299 | Quae occulta? |
A17299 | Quam enim requiem habene potest spiritus noster, dum praedestinationes suae nullum adhuc testimonium tenet? |
A17299 | Qui ex impio facit iustum: deputatur sides eius ad iustitiam: What is that, Which iustifieth the vngodly? |
A17299 | Qui morbum suum nescit, quomodo medicum quaerit? |
A17299 | Quia Deus ignoscit talibus peccatoribus confitentibus,& punientibus sua peccata: What vncertainty? |
A17299 | Quid est, Qui iustificat impium? |
A17299 | Quis audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit? |
A17299 | Quis 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? |
A17299 | Quis scit, si conuertatur,& ignoscat,& c. Who knoweth, whether he will returne and repent, and leaue a blessing behinde him? |
A17299 | Quis tollit praedestinationem Dei? |
A17299 | Quis, Who? |
A17299 | Quod ait, Quis? |
A17299 | Quomodo ergo fidem quis audet dicere aestimationem, nisi qui Spiritum istum nondum accepti, quiue Euangelium aut ignoret, aut fabulam putet? |
A17299 | S. Augustine saith: Quid est ergo credere in eum? |
A17299 | Scio, cui credidi,& certus sum, clamat Apostolus;& tu mihi subsibilas, fides est aestimatio? |
A17299 | Seest thou how Faith wrought with his workes, and by workes was Faith made perfect? |
A17299 | Shall St. Austine be vmpire in this case? |
A17299 | St. Chrysostome saith, Whence art thou made holy? |
A17299 | Surely wee are no otherwise made the righteousnesse of God in Christ, than as Christ was made sinne for vs. How is that? |
A17299 | Tell mee now in this case, what subiect would be so foolehardy, as openly to contemne and reiect the commandement of the King? |
A17299 | Tell mee, what shall wee say of the very women? |
A17299 | That 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? |
A17299 | That yee may know,( not, that yee may haue some probable coniecture, but that yee may know) What? |
A17299 | That yee may know: What? |
A17299 | The Church of Rome challengeth authoritie ouer the Scriptures: I would faine know who gaue her this authoritie? |
A17299 | The debter in the Gospell, that ought his Lord ten thousand Talents, but had not to pay: How did hee satisfie his Lord? |
A17299 | The matter now standing betweene your No, and my Yea: who shall be the vmpire? |
A17299 | The righteous shall scareely be saued; the sinner taken tardy, where shall hee appeare? |
A17299 | The righteousnesse of God made ours by infusion of grace into vs? |
A17299 | Then, as Esay saith, Who hath beleeued our report? |
A17299 | Therefore faith being a vertue giuen to Gods Saints, whereby they are iustified, how can this Faith bee in the Diuels, or Damned? |
A17299 | They said thus, reasoning with themselues, Who knoweth, if God will returne, and shew mercy? |
A17299 | This beeing so cleere a Conclusion, what neede we adde further testimonies? |
A17299 | Those of the Popes Canonizing? |
A17299 | Those within their owne Church, such as are baptized? |
A17299 | Thy good workes and merits? |
A17299 | Till when? |
A17299 | To 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? |
A17299 | To what end? |
A17299 | To 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? |
A17299 | True: who can say it? |
A17299 | Tum quorsum quaeso vniuersalis gratia? |
A17299 | Vnde in corpore? |
A17299 | Was Christ made sinne for vs, by hauing our sinnes inherent in him, or infused into him? |
A17299 | Was Esay now vnregenerate? |
A17299 | Was he therefore iustified? |
A17299 | Was hee not obedient vnto the death? |
A17299 | Was it a liuing and sauing Faith that Abraham had? |
A17299 | Was it not Christ? |
A17299 | Was not Abraham our father iustified by workes, when hee had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the Altar? |
A17299 | Was not Dauid also a holy man, an honest hearted man, after Gods owne heart? |
A17299 | Was not Gods Word? |
A17299 | Was not this by faith of that better life promised in Christ? |
A17299 | Was 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? |
A17299 | We know it: and it is by Faith that we know it; and what greater certainty than knowledge? |
A17299 | Well then, in this case what wilt thou doe? |
A17299 | Well, 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? |
A17299 | Well, how doth Vega auoyde this Argument concerning Faith in Christ, bringing saluation vpon all that beleeue? |
A17299 | What Promise? |
A17299 | What Saints? |
A17299 | What bee they? |
A17299 | What clearer Testimonies? |
A17299 | What clearer testimony could this holy man giue of his strong confidence and assurance of his iustification by faith in God? |
A17299 | What comfort in themselues, but horrour of conscience? |
A17299 | What credit with men? |
A17299 | What difference then is there betweene the Pontificians, and the Manicheans in this maine point? |
A17299 | What difference( say they) between God: pardoning our debt, and giuing vs money to pay it? |
A17299 | What difference? |
A17299 | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say hee hath faith, and haue no workes? |
A17299 | What else can bee expected of such, as haue lost, or neuer had the true faith? |
A17299 | What else? |
A17299 | What faith is that? |
A17299 | What faith? |
A17299 | What forme? |
A17299 | What free- will then can there be in vs by nature towards that thing, which our naturall vnderstanding is altogether ignorant of? |
A17299 | What 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? |
A17299 | What hidden things? |
A17299 | What honour with God? |
A17299 | What if Faith now and then doe sleepe? |
A17299 | What if there be fifty righteous in Sodome? |
A17299 | What is meant hereby? |
A17299 | What is that? |
A17299 | What is this, that he saith, He that beleeueth shall not make haste? |
A17299 | What makes all this for Vega''s vncertainty of Faith? |
A17299 | What merit was in his bloudy hands? |
A17299 | What merit was this trow we? |
A17299 | What more neare? |
A17299 | What need more testimonies? |
A17299 | What needes more testimony in such a cloud of witnesses? |
A17299 | What reach? |
A17299 | What saith Bernard in his Sermon ad Pastores? |
A17299 | What seale is this, but the seale of Faith? |
A17299 | What should the Niniuites now doe in this case? |
A17299 | What sinne was Iob addicted to? |
A17299 | What spirit? |
A17299 | What stands surer than a foundation? |
A17299 | What was it, but the promise of God, whereupon by Faith Isaac blessed his Sonnes, v. 20. and Iacob his? |
A17299 | What will he doc? |
A17299 | What workes? |
A17299 | What''s the reason? |
A17299 | What''s thy reason for it? |
A17299 | What, of anothers good? |
A17299 | What? |
A17299 | What? |
A17299 | When doth God leaue his elect without witnesse? |
A17299 | Whence art thou called faithfull? |
A17299 | Whence in the body? |
A17299 | Whence shall I expect saluation? |
A17299 | Where is the Scribe? |
A17299 | Where is the disputer of this world? |
A17299 | Where is the wise? |
A17299 | Where proue you this? |
A17299 | Where saith it, That he that is borne of God doth sinne vnto death, and so falleth totally and finally from God? |
A17299 | Where was the Church when the Gospell began first to be reuealed? |
A17299 | Wherefore doest thou make vs to turne our backe from the enemy, that they which hate vs, spoile our goods? |
A17299 | Wherefore then doe not these receiue the Gospell with all readinesse and freedome of will? |
A17299 | Wherein consists it? |
A17299 | Wherein must it bee inherent? |
A17299 | Wherein? |
A17299 | Whereupon Augustine saith; Quae incerta? |
A17299 | Whereupon St. Augustine saith; Vnde, Cum timore ac tremore? |
A17299 | Whereupon St. Chrysostome vpon these words, saith, O what an admirable word he vseth, saying, the argument of things not seene? |
A17299 | Whereupon he inferreth, Quae occulta? |
A17299 | Wherfore doest thou make vs a reproach vnto our neighbours, a scorne and derision to them that are round about vs? |
A17299 | Which being so, what maruaile is it, if they vtterly renounce all Certainety of Faith, and of Saluation? |
A17299 | Who art thou, vaine man, that pleadest against God? |
A17299 | Who can conceiue, that a man should fully satisfie the iustice of God for the sinnes of the world? |
A17299 | Who can conceiue, that the Sonne of God could suffer, and dye? |
A17299 | Who can heare these things diligently, and intelligently, and dare doubt of this so cleare a truth, which we defend? |
A17299 | Who could be ordained to eternall Life, without the gift of Perseuerance? |
A17299 | Who dare say, Perhaps it shall not continue? |
A17299 | Who is he that is called the Angell of great counsell? |
A17299 | Who is he that will pleade with mee? |
A17299 | Who knoweth? |
A17299 | Who shall aduise me? |
A17299 | Who shall then forbid Faith to fasten its eye vpon this louely obiect? |
A17299 | Who then shall dare to say the contrarie? |
A17299 | Why did not then Esau''s teares merit the blessing ex congruo? |
A17299 | Why 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? |
A17299 | Why so? |
A17299 | Why? |
A17299 | Why? |
A17299 | Why? |
A17299 | Why? |
A17299 | Will any suspect the Serpent to lurke vnder such flowers of Paradise? |
A17299 | Will the Pontificians herein, as they are willing in other things, stand to the iudgement of their father Aristotle? |
A17299 | Will they say, that Adams sinne merited, either by Congruity or by Condignity, Christ the Redeemer? |
A17299 | Will they therefore say, that they which murthered Christ, merited pardon, either Congruously or Condignly? |
A17299 | Will ye so eclipse the glory of his grace, as to confine it within such narrow bounds? |
A17299 | Will yee speake wickedly for God, and talke deceitfully for him? |
A17299 | Will you so limit Gods grace? |
A17299 | Wilt thou know, O vaine man, that Faith without workes is dead? |
A17299 | With what reason then can the Pontificians say, That charity, which is the branch, not the roote, giues life to the root, which is Faith? |
A17299 | With whom is God well pleased in his Beloued? |
A17299 | Would Vega and his side haue their merit of Congruity decreed? |
A17299 | Would they( thinke you) so easily haue parted with their liue bird in the hand, vpon the vncertaine hazzard of two in the bush? |
A17299 | Yea, but how shall God iustifie a sinner? |
A17299 | Yea, hee that numbereth our haires, doth he not number the persons of his elect? |
A17299 | Yea, how often doth Augustine mention the Apostles words, where he saith; Fides imputaretur ad iustitiam: Faith is imputed vnto righteousnesse? |
A17299 | Yes( 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? |
A17299 | Yes: How doth that appeare? |
A17299 | an offering in generall? |
A17299 | and according to Ambrose, it is not free from trouble, being ouer- whelmed with horrour of Conscience? |
A17299 | and being acceptable, is it not acceptable to saluation? |
A17299 | and if vneuident, how is it a firme or certaine perswasion? |
A17299 | and what actions of piety and mercy did he not abound in? |
A17299 | and what foundation so sure, as Gods foundation? |
A17299 | betweene mans owne righteousnesse, and Gods righteousnesse, the establishing of the one, being the abolishing of the other? |
A17299 | by any inherent righteousnesse in vs, although deriued from the merit of Christs righteousnesse imputed, in the Popish sense? |
A17299 | can the faith saue him? |
A17299 | credendo amare, credendo diligere, credendo in eum ● re,& eius membris incorporari: What is it then to beleeue in him? |
A17299 | doth it follow that this is our righteousnesse, to iustifie vs in the sight of God? |
A17299 | for that which faith meriteth, why is it not rather rendred as due, than freely giuen? |
A17299 | for who hath resisted his will? |
A17299 | how shall wee iustifie our selues? |
A17299 | is 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? |
A17299 | nunquid de alieno? |
A17299 | or Heathens and Pagans, without the pale of the Church, such as are not yet baptized, as Turkes, Iewes, or Indians? |
A17299 | or dyed he in Gods displeasure? |
A17299 | or his spirit, to wit, his breath? |
A17299 | or must hee not come into the Kingdome of Heauen, whereof Canaan was a type? |
A17299 | or that they were thereby prepared to iustification? |
A17299 | or to build vpon this sure& proper foundation? |
A17299 | or why did not Ahab''s repentance merit by Congruity, not onely a repriuall of punishment, but an absolute pardon of his sinne? |
A17299 | quod enim fides meretur, cur non potius redditur, quàm donatur? |
A17299 | shall that one preponderate the whole tenure of St, Augustines workes? |
A17299 | the godly? |
A17299 | the soule, or the spirit within a man? |
A17299 | voluntarily incarnate, voluntarily suffering, voluntarily crucified, will hee keepe from vs his onely righteousnesse? |
A17299 | voluntariè incarnatus, voluntariè passus, voluntariè crucifixus, solam à nobis retinebit iustitiam? |
A17299 | was euer impudencie and folly so yoaked together? |
A17299 | what a poore diminution is here; Particula, non pars? |
A17299 | what profit, or what pleasure, or what contentment found he in any, or in all of them? |
A17299 | what then? |
A17299 | what vncertaine things? |
A17299 | where comfort for thine appalled conscience? |
A17299 | where wilt thou seeke reliefe for thy perplexed spirit? |
A17299 | whither wilt thou flye? |
A17299 | who shall accuse them? |
A17299 | who shall bring in euidence against them? |
A17299 | who shall lay any thing to their charge? |
A17299 | would you also cast a myst before the Apostles eyes, that hee should not see what he said? |
A17299 | yea, 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? |
A17308 | 18. when they haue done all, what will they gaine but incertainty? |
A17308 | 3. nor onely the Congregation, vers 13. but if any one of the common people sinne,& c. then hee shall bring: What? |
A17308 | 33, 34. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A17308 | 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? |
A17308 | 34. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A17308 | 9. Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane, I am pure from my sin? |
A17308 | 9. Who knoweth, if God will returne and repent, and turne away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? |
A17308 | A faith common to reprobates? |
A17308 | A temporall deliuerance only? |
A17308 | A wilde Asse vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde at her pleasure, in her occasion who can turne her away? |
A17308 | Ad hoc incertum, Niniuitae poenitentiam egerunt: dixerunt enim,& c. What hidden? |
A17308 | Against whom; what accusation of sinne can be produced, but may easily bee proued? |
A17308 | All other vnions, what are they to that one supreame, and( as I may so say) that onely one, where consubstantiality makes the vnity? |
A17308 | Am I hereupon carelesse how I liue, because I haue receiued the euidence of Gods fauour towards mee in Christ? |
A17308 | An euill tree doth not beare good fruit: Doest thou call an vnfaithfull man a good tree? |
A17308 | And St. Augustine in his Soliloquies, saith sweetly: Vnde gloriabitur omnis caro? |
A17308 | And St. Augustine to the same purpose, speaking of Peters Faith, proper to the Elect, saith, Dic, quae fides? |
A17308 | And doth hee know this by Faith? |
A17308 | And doth hee not then know, that hee is of the number of Gods elect? |
A17308 | And else where he saith: Vnde mors in anima? |
A17308 | And first, let him be demanded: Brother, doest thou reioyce, that thou shalt dye in the faith? |
A17308 | And for Abrahams faith in Gods promise, what seed of Abraham was this, in whom all the Nations of the earth should be blessed? |
A17308 | And for perseuerance the same Bernard saith: Quis nos separabit à charitate Dei? |
A17308 | And he produceth Hieromes exposition, vpon the second of Ioel, Who knoweth, if God will repent, and pardon? |
A17308 | And i ● not this loue the highest degree of charity that can bee? |
A17308 | And if God the Iudge do iustifie, who shall condemne? |
A17308 | And if men hauing this faith, may notwithstanding be damned, and carry it with them to hell, how is it a iustifying faith? |
A17308 | And in another place hee saith, Si Gentilis( inquis) nudum operuit, nunquid quia non est ex fide, peccatum est? |
A17308 | And shall the Elect themselues, who bring forth this Fruit, and haue this Faith, say, Perhaps they shall not perseuere? |
A17308 | And the same Father addeth: What is the property of Faith? |
A17308 | And this is the confidence that wee haue in him,& c. Now, hath euery true Beleeuer eternall Life? |
A17308 | And what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols? |
A17308 | And what can bee more firme or certaine, than truth? |
A17308 | And what comparison between such a one, and the Apostles, who did so great miracles? |
A17308 | And what concord 〈 … 〉 Christ with Belial? |
A17308 | And what is his iudgement of all these things? |
A17308 | And what is it that he saith, giuing glory to God? |
A17308 | And what is the tidings? |
A17308 | And what more contrary to the Scriptures; which say, If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature? |
A17308 | And who are they that peruert the Scriptures to their owne destruction, but as St. Peter saith, the vnlearned and the vnstable? |
A17308 | And who hath risisted his wil? |
A17308 | And why at this time doth hee command all Christians to betake themselues to the Scriptures? |
A17308 | And 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? |
A17308 | And, if she haue her authority from the Scriptures, how comes shee to challenge authority ouer that, from whom shee receiueth her authority? |
A17308 | And, what certainty can there be in the Church, if this Church be no other than the Church of Rome? |
A17308 | And, what certainty can there bee in the Scriptures, if they must depend vpon the authority of the Church, for their certainetie? |
A17308 | Art not thou He, that in former times hast saued vs from our enemies,& hast put them to confusion, that hate vs? |
A17308 | As Augustine sayth: Quis in ● ternam vitam potuit ordinari, nisi perseuerantiae dono? |
A17308 | Audi illum alio loco,& c. Heare him in another place, Vpon whom shall my Spirit rest? |
A17308 | Aut si electus non est,& c. Or if he be not elected, how did he elect Twelue, and not rather Eleuen? |
A17308 | Basil saith, What is the property of a Christian? |
A17308 | Basil saith, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what is the property of faith? |
A17308 | Because the Niniuites sins were great, they said, Who knoweth? |
A17308 | Being thus weake then, how should it dispose it selfe to receiue grace? |
A17308 | Besides, doe not most Interpreters take it generally for the soule? |
A17308 | But God is iust,& shal not he, the Iudge of all the world; do right? |
A17308 | But O man( saith he) who ari th ● i ● that replyest against God? |
A17308 | But are they to be accounted Christians and Beleeuers, that goe to Hell? |
A17308 | But at the best, when all is done, is it euer the neerer to grace or iustification? |
A17308 | But by what Faith? |
A17308 | But did his gift depend vpon mans acceptance, that it might be effectuall if man would, otherwise not? |
A17308 | But did not Circumcision iustifie the Iewes before the vse of Baptisme, as Baptisme doth now iustifie, comming in the stead of Circumcision? |
A17308 | But doth Iob here vtter one syllable of the vncertainty of his faith, in God his Sauiour and Redeemer? |
A17308 | But doth not a man vnderstand the Word preached, vnlesse first his vnderstanding be illuminated by Faith? |
A17308 | But his pride ouerthrew all: Yet ● ● d he not ascribe his vertues to the worke of God in him? |
A17308 | But how doe they proue, that this their repentance goes before faith in Christ in nature, and in the order of causes? |
A17308 | But how doth he vnderstand the faith of these promises? |
A17308 | But how doth he worke regeneration in vs? |
A17308 | But how is their faith infused? |
A17308 | But how iustified? |
A17308 | But how liue? |
A17308 | But how shall this beliefe moue me to Repentance, vnlesse I beleeue that this Sauiour is borne to me in particular? |
A17308 | But how? |
A17308 | But how? |
A17308 | But 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? |
A17308 | But if a man leade an impure life, is he not condemned? |
A17308 | But if not, what neede I bestow labour in vaine? |
A17308 | But in what respect doth he oppose them? |
A17308 | But 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? |
A17308 | But is there no preparation vnto the receiuing of grace and iustification? |
A17308 | But is this all? |
A17308 | But is this sufficient to true Repentance? |
A17308 | But may not our workes come in as sharers with Gods mercies? |
A17308 | But shall hee glory of good? |
A17308 | But shall we heare Vega expresse his minde cleerely and ingenuously, without any ambiguity? |
A17308 | But shall we take all those for Reprobates, whose sinne the Scripture recordeth, but makes no mention of their repentance? |
A17308 | But shall wee neede to bring candles to shew vs the light of the Sunne? |
A17308 | But tell mee, Vega, what grace had Iudas, when he was chosen to be an Apostle? |
A17308 | But 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? |
A17308 | But to what purpose, when now the sentence was already pronounced of him that can not lye? |
A17308 | But was he therefore, or thereby iustified? |
A17308 | But was the Repentance of Ahab and of the Nineuites acceptable to God, because God for the present forbore to punish them? |
A17308 | But what Faith? |
A17308 | But what Repentance is this? |
A17308 | But what do we certainly and vndoubtedly beleeue? |
A17308 | But what might bee the meaning of this word Ineuident? |
A17308 | But what need we further testimonies to vindicate thisi Catholick truth, that the authority of holy Scriptures was euer aboue the Church? |
A17308 | But what''s the reason, that Vega will not pitch vpon one certaine and distinct Faith, specially meant by the Apostle? |
A17308 | But whence proceeded this their vncertainty? |
A17308 | But where is thy hand to put forth to receiue him? |
A17308 | But who be they that receiue not this Gospell of God? |
A17308 | But why doe I separate or distinguish vnfruitfull from damnable? |
A17308 | But why so commonly impute iustification to Faith? |
A17308 | But why vnder Pontius Pilate? |
A17308 | But will the Pontifician say, Mans free- will is not for all this excluded from being an ingredient, at least in preparation? |
A17308 | By Faith Abraham, being called, went out,& c. Was it not by Faith in Gods promise? |
A17308 | By 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? |
A17308 | Can Emperours and Commanders in any Armie haue their wils presently obeyed ▪ and put in execution, without demanding a reason of them? |
A17308 | Can a bad tree bring forth good fruit, saith Christ? |
A17308 | Chapter hath reference; which Prouerbe also gaue occasion to this whole Chapter? |
A17308 | Christo enim sic eos ponentev ● ● ant,& fructum afferant,& fructus eorum maneat: quis, audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit? |
A17308 | Christs passiue obedience therefore being it selfe also actiue, how can these two possibly bee separated and diuorced one from the other? |
A17308 | Chrysostome vpon the third Chapter to the Romanes, saith, What is the Law of Faith? |
A17308 | Deuout a Bernard saith, Nonne si fluctuat fides, manis est& spes nostra? |
A17308 | Did St. Peter meane, that the faithfull should be doubtfull, or vncertaine of their saluation? |
A17308 | Did he not bring forth many fruits of faith, many good workes of charity, piety, mercy, hospitality, obedience, humility, and the like? |
A17308 | Did he not, according to Gods direction, take and apply the lumpe of dry Figgs to the plague- sore, and so recouered? |
A17308 | Did not Dauid know this by the certainty of faith? |
A17308 | Did not therefore Moses repent him of his sinne? |
A17308 | Do we not see here a manifest difference between Augustines owne application of vncertainty,& Vega''s strained application? |
A17308 | Doe we euer reade, that God made man to be his owne Sauiour, as Pontificians blasphemously auouch? |
A17308 | Doe wee know, that God loues vs in Christ? |
A17308 | Doest thou beleeue that the Lord Iesus Christ, the Sonne of God, dyed for thee? |
A17308 | Doest thou beleeue thou canst not bee saued, but by his death? |
A17308 | Doest thou from thy heart thank him for this? |
A17308 | Doest thou repent of it? |
A17308 | Dost thou commend the admirable wisedome of God, in teaching man to ascribe the iustification of Faith to the mercy and glory of God? |
A17308 | Doth Gregory hence conclude, that the elect is vncertaine of saluation, or that it is possible for him to become a reprobate? |
A17308 | Doth any fall away, and apostatize from the truth? |
A17308 | Doth the Councell of Laterans Decree dare vs, not to mention Antichrists comming? |
A17308 | Doth this proue that hee was one of Gods eternall election? |
A17308 | Dye they not in a most preposterous malice and enuy? |
A17308 | Else what true Faith is it? |
A17308 | Ergo animae tuae anima fides est: Whence is death in the soule? |
A17308 | Ergo ● ● Diabolus electus est? |
A17308 | Euery mans iudgement? |
A17308 | Examine: What? |
A17308 | Faith then being certaine, and confirmed also by the seale of Gods Spirit, what more certaine? |
A17308 | Faith then is the seale of Gods testimony; and what greater certainty or assurance can be, than in a seale? |
A17308 | Faith,( say they) is the roote of all Iustification: placing their iustification in hope and loue,& c. How then is Faith the roote? |
A17308 | For God can not make vs, who are creatures, to bee Gods, infinite with himselfe the Creator? |
A17308 | For I would aske them, whom they meane by their Adulti, or men of yeares? |
A17308 | For Salomons saying, Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane? |
A17308 | For 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? |
A17308 | For else, if thou Lord wert with vs, how should so many calamities and disasters fall vpon vs, and vpon thy people round about vs? |
A17308 | For first: whether was the Word of God, or the Church more ancient? |
A17308 | For himselfe? |
A17308 | For how can a man that is truely and infallibly certaine, be sayd therein vainely to presume? |
A17308 | For how can the action bee acceptable, when the person is not? |
A17308 | For 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? |
A17308 | For if faith bee wauering, is not our hope also vaine? |
A17308 | For the preaching of the Gospel, what is it, but a beame of this grace of God shining vpon sinners? |
A17308 | For what if a man, yea the holiest man, if Dauid doe not know his sinnes, his slippes, and errors? |
A17308 | For what rest can our spirit haue, while it retaineth as yet no testimony of its predestination? |
A17308 | For what righteousnesse( I pray you) is that, which the Prophet there speakes of? |
A17308 | For what saith the Scripture? |
A17308 | For whatsoeuer authority the Church of Rome hath, if shee haue it not from the Scriptures, of what worth is her authority? |
A17308 | For who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ? |
A17308 | For, Who shall now lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? |
A17308 | For, how can a thing be certaine,& yet false, vnlesse it be certainly false, or a false certainety? |
A17308 | For, what certainty of Faith can there bee, if the holy Scriptures, the obiect and ground of Faith, be not certaine? |
A17308 | For, what saith the Scripture? |
A17308 | From their faith? |
A17308 | Fructus bonos non facit arbor mala: An dicis hominem infidelem arborem bonam? |
A17308 | God giueth more grace, saith St. Iames: and what followeth? |
A17308 | Gregory faith well, Hee that ● owes not his disease, how doth he seek to the Physitian? |
A17308 | Had hee the true grace of iustification, whereby he was accepted with God? |
A17308 | Had not then this great loue of God beene vtterly lost? |
A17308 | Had not this gift beene such, as no man would receiue it? |
A17308 | Haec non est gloria, sed miseria: sed nunquid gloriabitur de bono? |
A17308 | Hast thou a will and purpose to amend, if thou shouldst haue time to liue longer? |
A17308 | Hast thou not heard the Apostle, The iust shall liue by faith? |
A17308 | Hast thou so much power to doe good, and dost it not? |
A17308 | Hath not God made the wisedome of this world foolishnesse? |
A17308 | Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill? |
A17308 | Hauing therefore, Brethren, boldnesse to enter into the most holy by the bloud of Iesus: saith: Whence is this boldnesse? |
A17308 | He alledgeth that of Dauid, Who can vnderstand his errors? |
A17308 | He hauing said, Hee hath mercy on whom hee will, and whom hee will, hee hardeneth ▪ and thou replying, Why then doth God yet complaine? |
A17308 | He may say, Who shall fetch Christ from aboue, that I may haue him within my reach? |
A17308 | Hence, Saint Augustine to Consentius, sayth: Quis ita euanescat, vt existimet Petrum hoc habuisse in corde, quod in hee, quando Christum negauit? |
A17308 | Hereupon he inferreth, if a man doe not know his sins, how can he be sure of his iustification? |
A17308 | How beleeued he? |
A17308 | How by faith? |
A17308 | How can man bee iustified with God? |
A17308 | How comes Pontius Pilate in our Christian Creed? |
A17308 | How comes the vngodly to be iustified, if hee bring any meritto dispose him thereunto? |
A17308 | How dangerously did the serpent incounter him, and bound him with grieuous chaines? |
A17308 | How did Dauid know that God had forgiuen his sinnes, seeing he saith peremptorily, Thou forgauest the iniquity of my sinne? |
A17308 | How different from the Councell of Trent? |
A17308 | How doth Faith worke by loue, before it haue charity? |
A17308 | How is that? |
A17308 | How 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? |
A17308 | How shall a man come to Christ, wearie and laden, that he may be refreshed? |
A17308 | How shall it be tryed? |
A17308 | How shall the Law then be our Schoolmaster to bring vs to Christ, who came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance? |
A17308 | How should England, formerly a terrour to her neighbours, become now their scorne and derision? |
A17308 | How should man be iust with God? |
A17308 | How so? |
A17308 | How then comes this forraine righteousnesse vpon an vngodly man? |
A17308 | How 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? |
A17308 | How? |
A17308 | How? |
A17308 | How? |
A17308 | I aske therefore who this Manicheus is? |
A17308 | I demand not yet, how thou liuest: but how thou beleeuest? |
A17308 | I know whom I haue beleeued, and am certaine, cryeth the Apostle; and doest thou whisper, faith is an opinion? |
A17308 | I might answer with the Apostle; O vaine man, who art thou that repliest against God? |
A17308 | If 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? |
A17308 | If a Heathen( saist thou) shall couer the naked, is it therefore a sin, because it is not of faith? |
A17308 | If it had not been Abrahams speciall Faith, how had it beene imputed to him for righteousnesse? |
A17308 | If this Faith of his be a firme and certain perswasion, how is it vneuident? |
A17308 | If thou, Lord, shouldst marke iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? |
A17308 | In the sight of God? |
A17308 | In this respect the Apostle makes a challenge in the behalfe of all Gods chosen: Who shall condemne them? |
A17308 | In 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? |
A17308 | In vs? |
A17308 | Indeede St. Augustine saith, Quid est aliud iustificati, quam iusti facti? |
A17308 | Is euen a Deuill then elected? |
A17308 | Is it not therefore, because thou art sanctified by the death of Christ? |
A17308 | Is it not therefore, because thou beleeuest in Christ? |
A17308 | Is it regeneration begun and in part? |
A17308 | Is it that righteousnesse, whereby wee are iustified in Gods sight? |
A17308 | Is it therefore Gospel, because Manicheus saith it? |
A17308 | Is not regeneration a worke of our saluation? |
A17308 | Is not( at the least) the hearing of the Word a worke of preparation to grace? |
A17308 | Is that sufficient? |
A17308 | Is the promise of God in Christ therefore such a little atomus, such a perexigna particula, such a small mote in the eye of Faith? |
A17308 | Is there no more difference betweene, Do this, and liue: and, Beleeue, and liue? |
A17308 | Is this true faith therefore acceptable to God? |
A17308 | Iste verò audire meruit, Dimissum est tibi peccatum tuum; To him it was said, Why doest thou persecute me? |
A17308 | It is God that iustifieth, who is he that condemneth? |
A17308 | It is God that iustifieth, who shall condemne? |
A17308 | It is God that iustifieth; who is he that condemneth? |
A17308 | It was vncertaine, when they said, Quis nouit? |
A17308 | Iustin Martyr saith: Quid aliud peccata nostra potuisset tegere, quàm Christi iustitia? |
A17308 | Know yee not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except yee be Reprobates? |
A17308 | Let no man dare to say, Why doth he yet complaine? |
A17308 | Mah nits tadhac? |
A17308 | Nam si non trem ● ● ris eum, auferet quod dedit: Why with trembling? |
A17308 | Nay 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? |
A17308 | Nay, are they not rather the further off from Christ, by how much nature seemes more excellent and perfect in them? |
A17308 | Nay, doth he not protest the contrary? |
A17308 | Nay, was not his passiue obedience also actiue, by a voluntary offering vp of himselfe? |
A17308 | Nec dicat sibi quis, si ex fide, quomodo gratis? |
A17308 | No; but Augustine tels vs the reason: Quia peccata magna erant Niniuitarum, dixerunt, Quis nouit? |
A17308 | No? |
A17308 | Non audisti Apostolum, Iustus exfide viuit? |
A17308 | Non dicat ista homo fidelis; quia cum dixerit, vt merear iustificationem, habeo fidem: respondetur ei, Quid enim habes, quod non accepisti? |
A17308 | Nondum quaero, quid viuas: sed quaero, quid credas? |
A17308 | Nonne ergo certo futurum, quod praesciebat Deus? |
A17308 | Nonne si fluctuat fides inanis est& spes nostra? |
A17308 | Nor let any man say to himselfe, if it be of faith, how is it freely? |
A17308 | Note, here is the Gospel preached; to who? |
A17308 | Note, the Apostle vseth here the termes of a iudiciall triall: Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A17308 | Nothing? |
A17308 | Now by what speciall signe is the body of a man known to liue? |
A17308 | Now concerning the imputation of Christs righteousness, what do they understand by it? |
A17308 | Now for whom was Christ, in the condition of his life, a seruant? |
A17308 | Now hath God laid a foundation, and shall not he finish? |
A17308 | Now how are we made the righteousnesse of God in Christ? |
A17308 | Now how can any man reioyce of that, whereof hee is vncertaine and doubtfull, and which he knoweth not? |
A17308 | Now how doth Soto, with all his subtilty, acquit his Pighius from being an hereticke in so saying? |
A17308 | Now how shall all this be repaired againe? |
A17308 | Now 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? |
A17308 | Now 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? |
A17308 | Now to stirre vp, what is it else, but as it were to awaken one from sleepe? |
A17308 | Now to what time or condition, had Gods act or purpose of separating these two, one from the other, speciall reference? |
A17308 | Now was not beleeuing Abraham a regenerate person? |
A17308 | Now what boldnesse or confidence can a man haue, without assurance and certainty? |
A17308 | Now what is it to put on Christ, but to make him wholly ours? |
A17308 | Now what is it, that maketh a man confounded or ashamed, but sinne; and shame, the punishment of sinne? |
A17308 | Now what is more sure and certaine than an euidence, or plaine demonstration? |
A17308 | Now what righteousnesse doth this holy man meane here? |
A17308 | Now will not he finde, thinkest thou, an infinite lightnes in thy best works? |
A17308 | Nunquid de malo? |
A17308 | Nunquid si immundam egerit vitam, non iudicatur? |
A17308 | O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the truth? |
A17308 | Of euill? |
A17308 | Or can wee say, Our heart is not turned backe, nor our steps declined from thy way? |
A17308 | Or doth God elect men to saluation, for the goodlinesse of their person? |
A17308 | Or doth the Gospell depend vpon the testimony of one man? |
A17308 | Or is the Apostles Faith working by loue, a Faith vnformed? |
A17308 | Or that they goe about to betray Christ with H ● yle Master? |
A17308 | Or what is that loue the Apostle speaketh of, but charity? |
A17308 | Or what part hath the Beleeuer with an Infidell? |
A17308 | Or, That wee haue not forgotten the Name of our God, nor stretched out our hand to a strange God? |
A17308 | Or, that their perseuerance is doubtfull? |
A17308 | Otherwise, what reall difference can bee imagined to be betweene them? |
A17308 | Our Sauiour saith ▪ Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill? |
A17308 | Pay him all, when hee had nothing to pay? |
A17308 | Psalme ▪ Nonne vos,& c. Haue not I chosen you Twelue, and one of you is a Deuill? |
A17308 | Psalme, vpon the same words of the Apostle, Augustine saith; Quare cum tremore? |
A17308 | Quae incerta? |
A17308 | Quae occulta? |
A17308 | Quam enim requiem haben ● potest spiritus noster, dum praedestinationis suae nullum adhuc testimonium tenet? |
A17308 | Qui ex impio facit iustum: deputatur fides eius ad iustitiam: What is that, Which iustifieth the vngodly? |
A17308 | Qui morbum suum nescit, quomodo medicum quaerit? |
A17308 | Quia Deus ignoscit talibus peccatoribus con ● itentibus,& punientibus sua peccata: What vncertainty? |
A17308 | Quid est, Qui iustificat impium? |
A17308 | Quis audeat dicere, Forsitan non manebit? |
A17308 | Quis 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? |
A17308 | Quis scit, si conuertatur,& ignoscat,& c. Who knoweth, whether he will returne and repent, and leaue a blessing behinde him? |
A17308 | Quis tollit pradesti ● ationem Dei? |
A17308 | Quis, Who? |
A17308 | Quodait, Quis? |
A17308 | Quomodo ergo fidem quis audet dicere aestimationem, nisi qui Spiritum istum nondum accepit, quiue Euangelium aut ignoret, aut fabulam putet? |
A17308 | Quàm noxiè ▪ ei luctatus est serpens,& grauibus ● um spiris liga ● it? |
A17308 | S. Augustine saith: Quid est ergo credere in eum? |
A17308 | Scio, cui credidi,& certus sum, clamat Apostolus;& tu mihi subsibilas, fides est aestimatio? |
A17308 | Seest thou how Faith wrought with his workes, and by workes was Faith made perfect? |
A17308 | Shall St. Austine be vmpire in this case? |
A17308 | St. Chrysostome saith, Whence art thou made holy? |
A17308 | Surely wee are no otherwise made the righteousnesse of God in Christ, than as Christ was made sinne for vs. How is that? |
A17308 | Tell mee now in this case, what subiect would be so foolehardy, as openly to contemne and reiect the commandement of the King? |
A17308 | Tell mee, what shall wee say of the very women? |
A17308 | That yee may know,( not, that yee may haue some probable coniecture, but that yee may know) What? |
A17308 | That yee may know: What? |
A17308 | The Church of Rome challengeth authoritie ouer the Scriptures: I would faine know who gaue her this authoritie? |
A17308 | The Councell it selfe tels vs, chap 7. where speaking of the formall cause of iustification, they call it the righteousnesse of God; but how? |
A17308 | The debter in the Gospell, that ought his Lord ten thousand Talents, but had not to pay: How did hee satisfie his Lord? |
A17308 | The matter now standing betweene your No, and my Yea: who shall be the vmpire? |
A17308 | The righteous shall scarcely be saued; the sinner taken tardy, where shall hee appeare? |
A17308 | The righteousnesse of God made ours by infusion of grace into vs? |
A17308 | Then, as Esay saith, Who hath beleeued our report? |
A17308 | Therefore faith being a vertue giuen to Gods Saints, whereby they are iustified, how can this Faith bee in the Diuels, or Damned? |
A17308 | They said thus, reasoning with themselues, Who knoweth, if God will returne, and shew mercy? |
A17308 | This beeing so cleere a Conclusion, what neede we adde further testimonies? |
A17308 | Those of the Popes Canonizing? |
A17308 | Those within their owne Church, such as are baptized? |
A17308 | Thy good workes and merits? |
A17308 | Till when? |
A17308 | To 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? |
A17308 | To what end? |
A17308 | To 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? |
A17308 | True: who can say it? |
A17308 | Tum qu ● rsum quaso vniuersalis gratia? |
A17308 | Vnde in corpore? |
A17308 | Was Christ made sinne for vs, by hauing our sinnes inherent in him, or infused into him? |
A17308 | Was Esay now vnregenerate? |
A17308 | Was he therefore iustified? |
A17308 | Was hee not obedient vnto the death? |
A17308 | Was it a liuing and sauing Faith that Abraham had? |
A17308 | Was it not Christ? |
A17308 | Was not Abraham our father iustified by workes, when hee had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the Altar? |
A17308 | Was not Dauid also a holy man, an honest hearted man, after Gods owne heart? |
A17308 | Was not Gods Word? |
A17308 | Was not this by faith of that better life promised in Christ? |
A17308 | Was 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? |
A17308 | We know it: and it is by Faith that we know it; and what greater certainty than knowledge? |
A17308 | Well th ● n, in this case what wilt thou doe? |
A17308 | Well, 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? |
A17308 | Well, how doth Vega auoyde this Argument concerning Faith in Christ, bringing saluation vpon all that beleeue? |
A17308 | What Promise? |
A17308 | What Saints? |
A17308 | What bee they? |
A17308 | What clearer Testimonies? |
A17308 | What clearer testimony could this holy man giue of his strong confidence and assurance of his iustification by faith in God? |
A17308 | What comfort in themselues, but horrour of conscience? |
A17308 | What credit with men? |
A17308 | What difference then is there betweene the Pontificians, and the Manicheans in this maine point? |
A17308 | What difference( say they) between Gods pardoning our debt, and giuing vs money to pay it? |
A17308 | What difference? |
A17308 | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say hee hath faith, and haue no workes? |
A17308 | What else can bee expected of such, as haue lost, or neuer had the true faith? |
A17308 | What else? |
A17308 | What faith is that? |
A17308 | What faith? |
A17308 | What fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? |
A17308 | What forme? |
A17308 | What free- will then can there be in vs by nature towards that thing, which our naturall vnderstanding is altogether ignorant of? |
A17308 | What 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? |
A17308 | What hidden things? |
A17308 | What honour with God? |
A17308 | What if Faith now and then doe sleepe? |
A17308 | What if there be fifty righteous in Sodome? |
A17308 | What is meant hereby? |
A17308 | What is that? |
A17308 | What is this, that he saith, He that beleeueth shall not make haste? |
A17308 | What makes all this for Vega''s vncertainty of Faith? |
A17308 | What merit was in his bloudy hands? |
A17308 | What merit was this trow we? |
A17308 | What more neare? |
A17308 | What need more testimonies? |
A17308 | What needes more testimony in such a cloud of witnesses? |
A17308 | What reach? |
A17308 | What saith Bernard in his Sermon ad Pastores? |
A17308 | What seale is this, but the seale of Faith? |
A17308 | What should the Niniuites now doe in this case? |
A17308 | What sinne was Iob addicted to? |
A17308 | What spirit? |
A17308 | What stands surer than a foundation? |
A17308 | What was it, but the promise of God, whereupon by Faith Isaac blessed his Sonnes, v. 20. and Iacob his? |
A17308 | What will he doe? |
A17308 | What workes? |
A17308 | What''s the reason? |
A17308 | What''s thy reason for it? |
A17308 | What, of anothers good? |
A17308 | What? |
A17308 | What? |
A17308 | When doth God leaue his elect without witnesse? |
A17308 | Whence art thou called faithfull? |
A17308 | Whence in the body? |
A17308 | Whence shall I expect saluation? |
A17308 | Where is the Scribe? |
A17308 | Where is the disputer of this world? |
A17308 | Where is the wise? |
A17308 | Where proue you this? |
A17308 | Where saith it, That he that is borne of God doth sinne vnto death, and so falleth totally and finally from God? |
A17308 | Where was the Church when the Gospell began first to be reuealed? |
A17308 | Wherefore doest thou make vs to turne our backe from the enemy, that they which hate vs, spoile our goods? |
A17308 | Wherefore then doe not these receiue the Gospell with all readinesse and freedome of will? |
A17308 | Wherein consists it? |
A17308 | Wherein must it bee inherent? |
A17308 | Wherein? |
A17308 | Whereupon Augustine saith; Quae incerta? |
A17308 | Whereupon St. Augustine saith; Vnde, Cum timore ac tremore? |
A17308 | Whereupon St. Chrysostome vpon these words, saith, O what an admirable word he vseth, saying, the argument of things not seene? |
A17308 | Whereupon he inferreth, Quae occulta? |
A17308 | Wherfore doest thou make vs a reproach vnto our neighbours, a scorne and derision to them that are round about vs? |
A17308 | Which being so, what maruaile is it, if they vtterly renounce all Certainety of Faith, and of Saluation? |
A17308 | Who art thou, vaine man, that pleadest against God? |
A17308 | Who can conceiue, that a man should fully satisfie the iustice of God for the sinnes of the world? |
A17308 | Who can conceiue, that the Sonne of God could suffer, and dye? |
A17308 | Who can heare these things diligently, and intelligently, and dare doubt of this so cleare a truth, which we defend? |
A17308 | Who could be ordained to eternall Life, without the gift of Perseuerance? |
A17308 | Who dare say ▪ Perhaps it shall not continue? |
A17308 | Who is he that is called the Angell of great counsell? |
A17308 | Who is he that will pleade with mee? |
A17308 | Who knoweth? |
A17308 | Who shall aduise me? |
A17308 | Who shall then forbid Faith to fasten its eye vpon this louely obiect? |
A17308 | Who then shall dare to say the contrarie? |
A17308 | Why did not then Esau''s teares merit the blessing ex congruo? |
A17308 | Why 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? |
A17308 | Why so? |
A17308 | Why? |
A17308 | Why? |
A17308 | Why? |
A17308 | Why? |
A17308 | Will any suspect the Serpent to lurke vnder such flowers of Paradise? |
A17308 | Will the Pontificians herein, as they are willing in other things, stand to the iudgement of their father Aristotle? |
A17308 | Will they say, that Adams sinne merited, either by Congruity or by Condignity, Christ the Redeemer? |
A17308 | Will they therefore say, that they which murthered Christ, merited pardon, either Congruously or Condignly? |
A17308 | Will ye so eclipse the glory of his grace, as to confine it within such narrow bounds? |
A17308 | Will yee speake wickedly for God, and talke deceitfully for him? |
A17308 | Will you so limit Gods grace? |
A17308 | Wilt thou know, O vaine man, that Faith without workes is dead? |
A17308 | With what reason then can the Pontificians say, That charity, which is the branch, not the roote, giues life to the root, which is Faith? |
A17308 | With whom is God well pleased in his Beloued? |
A17308 | Would Vega and his side haue their merit of Congruity decreed? |
A17308 | Would they( thinke you) so easily haue parted with their liue bird in the hand, vpon the vncertaine hazzard of two in the bush? |
A17308 | Yea, but how shall God iustifie a sinner? |
A17308 | Yea, hee that numbereth our haires, doth he not number the persons of his elect? |
A17308 | Yea, how often doth Augustine mention the Apostles words, where he saith; Fides imputaretur ad iustitiam: Faith is imputed vnto righteousnesse? |
A17308 | Yes( 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? |
A17308 | Yes: How doth that appeare? |
A17308 | an offering in generall? |
A17308 | and according to Ambrose, it is not free from trouble, being ouer- whelmed with horrour of Conscience? |
A17308 | and being acceptable, is it not acceptable to saluation? |
A17308 | and if vneuident, how is it a firme or certaine perswasion? |
A17308 | and what actions of piety and mercy did he not abound in? |
A17308 | and what communion hath light with darkenesse? |
A17308 | and what foundation so sure, as Gods foundation? |
A17308 | betweene mans owne righteousnesse, and Gods righteousnesse, the establishing of the one, being the abolishing of the other? |
A17308 | by any inherent righteousnesse in vs, although deriued from the merit of Christs righteousnesse imputed, in the Popish sense? |
A17308 | can the faith saue him? |
A17308 | credendo amare, credendo diligere, credendo in eumire,& eius membris incorporari: What is it then to beleeue in him? |
A17308 | doth it follow that this is our righteousnesse, to iustifie vs in the sight of God? |
A17308 | for that which faith meriteth, why is it not rather rendred as due, than freely giuen? |
A17308 | for who hath resisted his will? |
A17308 | how shall wee iustifie our selues? |
A17308 | is 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? |
A17308 | nunquid de alieno? |
A17308 | or Heathens and Pagans, without the pale of the Church, such as are not yet baptized, as Turkes, Iewes, or Indians? |
A17308 | or dyed he in Gods displeasure? |
A17308 | or his spirit, to wit, his breath? |
A17308 | or must hee not come into the Kingdome of Heauen, whereof Canaan was a type? |
A17308 | or that they were thereby prepared to iustification? |
A17308 | or to build vpon this sure& proper foundation? |
A17308 | or why did not Ahab''s repentance merit by Congruity, not onely a repriuall of punishment, but an absolute pardon of his sinne? |
A17308 | praedest ● ● ationis) veritas deserenda, aut ex Euangelio delenda putabitur? |
A17308 | quod enim fides meretur, cur non potius redditur, quàm donatur? |
A17308 | shall that one preponderate the whole tenure of St, Augustines workes? |
A17308 | the godly? |
A17308 | the righteousnesse of God imputed to vs? |
A17308 | the soule, or the spirit within a man? |
A17308 | vnto it, and so leaue a very small, not part, but diminitiue particle for faith in the promises of God? |
A17308 | voluntarily incarnate, voluntarily suffering, voluntarily crucified, will hee keepe from vs his onely righteousnesse? |
A17308 | voluntariè incarnatus, voluntariè passus, voluntariè crucifixus, solam à nobis retinebit iustitiam? |
A17308 | was euer impudencie and folly so yoaked together? |
A17308 | what a poore diminution is here; Particula, non pars: is not this diminitiue enough, but hee must put small; yea, perexigua, very small? |
A17308 | what profit, or what pleasure, or what contentment found he in any, or in all of them? |
A17308 | what then? |
A17308 | what vncertaine things? |
A17308 | where comfort for thine appalled conscience? |
A17308 | whither wilt thou flye ▪ where wilt thou seeke reliefe for thy perplexed spirit? |
A17308 | who shall accuse them? |
A17308 | who shall bring in euidence against them? |
A17308 | who shall lay any thing to their charge? |
A17308 | would you also cast a myst before the Apostles eyes, that hee should not see what he said? |
A17308 | yea, 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? |
A26974 | ( For the instrument is an efficient cause): And what if I dare not give so much to man? |
A26974 | ( and Receiving as Lord, to be the fides quae?) |
A26974 | ( what''s that to Gospel obedience?) |
A26974 | 1. Who dare say so, but the Vbiquitarians, and Transubstantiation men? |
A26974 | 13.10 Was the Precept of Accepting Christ, loving him in sincerity and obeying him& c. no part of that Gospel ▪ to which Paul was separated? |
A26974 | 2. Who doubteth but God could have bestowed pardon and justification on other terms or conditions, if he would? |
A26974 | 20. of Justification? |
A26974 | 22. that say there is? |
A26974 | 24. and It is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth? |
A26974 | 5 Doth Trusting or Believing him cure these men as the Instrument? |
A26974 | 5. Who denyeth that we have Faith and Repentance before Justification? |
A26974 | 8.18? |
A26974 | ? |
A26974 | ?] |
A26974 | A DISPVTATION OF JVSTIFICATION: Whether any Works be any Conditions of it? |
A26974 | A naked term[ Condition] expounded by you that never saw my heart? |
A26974 | Active or Passive? |
A26974 | Am I credible only when I speak amiss, and not at all when I speak right? |
A26974 | Am not I like to have a fair hand think you of this Disputer? |
A26974 | An efficientis Causalitas, Actio? |
A26974 | And I pray search, whether in this Question, you do not confound your Notions ex parte objecti, and ex parte Actus? |
A26974 | And can you think then that Remission and Justification have several conditions? |
A26974 | And do I need to say any more now in defence of this opinion, which my Reverend Brother saith is not to be endured? |
A26974 | And do not men that make address, address themselves in like variety? |
A26974 | And do we make any doubt of this? |
A26974 | And do you think Ghemnitius did join with the Papists of Trent, when he confuted them? |
A26974 | And do you think in good sadness that one single Physical act can be the act of both the faculties? |
A26974 | And do you think that we can any better tell when we have all that are Essential? |
A26974 | And 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? |
A26974 | And doth it therefore follow that they can be no Conditions of our continued Justification? |
A26974 | And doth not every man that is saved so fulfill the conditions of the new Covenant? |
A26974 | And first, We must understand what it is that is distinguished: whether the Habit of faith, or the Acts? |
A26974 | And how can that Law pronounce a man, or his action righteous, which curseth him, and condemneth him to Hell for that same Action? |
A26974 | And how could you over- look it, that your Argument flyeth too boldly in the face of Christ, and many a plain Text of Scripture? |
A26974 | And how do these men vilifie them, and rob them of their highest honor, that deny them to be the Laws of God? |
A26974 | And how many new Methods and Doctrines of Philosophy this one age hath produced? |
A26974 | And how oft hath Bellarmine been called Sophister for supposing, we mean such an apprehension? |
A26974 | And how? |
A26974 | And if faith be a passive physical instrument, it must have a Physical Efficiency? |
A26974 | And 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? |
A26974 | And if means, of what sort, if not conditions? |
A26974 | And if this be common to Hypocrites and Reprobates, what a case are we in then? |
A26974 | And if you did not mean that these are conditions of Pardon, and Justification, when you say they are, who can understand you? |
A26974 | And indeed what man denyeth it? |
A26974 | And is it not Christs whole Law which is of force when he is dead, and called his Testament? |
A26974 | And is it not great partiality to let the same pass as currant from them, which from me must be condemned? |
A26974 | And is it now come to that pass that these can not be known? |
A26974 | And is not Justification one benefit? |
A26974 | And is not final Justification a freeing us from that Curse? |
A26974 | And is not perseverance in faith as necessary as perseverance in obedience? |
A26974 | And is not that the Law and Testimony to which we must seek? |
A26974 | And is not that to say as much as I? |
A26974 | And is not the Promise undoubtedly Gods Deed of Gift? |
A26974 | And is not the imperfection of faith and repentance a sin? |
A26974 | And is the condition of her Dignity, only the Taking him as a Prince who is Rich and Honourable? |
A26974 | And is this wholly superfluous? |
A26974 | And may not this tend to an accommodation between us in this Point? |
A26974 | And now was here a fit occasion to speak reproach fully of Paul, as extream ignorant, or unfaithful, or immanis sophista? |
A26974 | And of our Divines that say there is inherent Righteousness? |
A26974 | And 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? |
A26974 | And so to Believe, is not agere, but pati or recipere? |
A26974 | And so whether we are justified by Works as such a Condition? |
A26974 | And that repentance is not recipient, how easily do I yeild to you? |
A26974 | And then how were all the faithful justified before Christs Incarnation and Ascension? |
A26974 | And then the question still remaineth, whether those qualifications are means or no means? |
A26974 | And what Reference to Justification is it? |
A26974 | And what Transient Act is it that God then and there puts forth or performeth? |
A26974 | And what do the generality of our Divines mean, when they say that Faith and new Obedience are our conditions of the Covenant? |
A26974 | And what do your defences do to justifie such dealing? |
A26974 | And what is Presumption, if it be not this very faith which Divines call justifying? |
A26974 | And what is the unwarrantable sense? |
A26974 | And what is the 〈 ◊ 〉 or Aptitude of faith but this? |
A26974 | And what is this, but plainly to forbid me to dispute with you? |
A26974 | And what then? |
A26974 | And what think you is the happy Light that deserveth all this ostentation? |
A26974 | And wherein is the Essential, formal difference between a wicked mans resting on Christ for Justification, and a true Believers? |
A26974 | And whether it be not introduced by Pious Divines meerly in heat of Disputation, which usually carryeth men into extreams? |
A26974 | And whether they stick in the air, and have all their Being first there, as Magyrus, and other Peripateticks? |
A26974 | And which is the more clear, certain and safe? |
A26974 | And which should you take to be indeed my sense? |
A26974 | And who ever said that in all or any of these the Soul is Passive and not Active? |
A26974 | And why do not stones wast by such an uncessant emanation? |
A26974 | And why may it not be added also to the Predicate, as well as it may Reduplicatively? |
A26974 | And why may not I be judged Orthodox in that point, when I heartily subscribe to the National Assemblies Definition? |
A26974 | And why may not I with Dr. Preston, Mr. Wallis,& c. say it is an Acceptance, or consent, joyned with Assent? |
A26974 | And why may we not say,[ A state of Sonship or salvation] as well as of Justification? |
A26974 | And why might not Abraham be instanced in? |
A26974 | And why speak you not of faith in one part of your comparison, as well as in the other? |
A26974 | And why then may not we call it faith? |
A26974 | And will you meet all these with your objections, and say,[ How shall I know when I have the full number? |
A26974 | And yet do you think this too big to be essential to Christian Faith? |
A26974 | And yet must we voluminously differ, when I have told you that I allow it? |
A26974 | And yet will you say that faith or inherent righteousness is Legal and not Evangelical? |
A26974 | Are not Knowledge, Words, Works, ours, by all which God saith, we are justified? |
A26974 | Are these things doubtfull among Divines or Christians? |
A26974 | Are we so well agreed, that you marvell at my supposition of this difference? |
A26974 | As for your discourse, whether Paul disputes what is our Righteousness? |
A26974 | At least do they not compound their Righteousness( as to the law of Works) partly of Christs satisfaction, and partly of their own Works? |
A26974 | But I ask, if there be justifying works, how saith Paul true? |
A26974 | But I wonder at his proof of his Sequel[ Because he who is ungodly is not legally righteous] what is that to the Question? |
A26974 | But Paul doth not resolve there[ what is the Condition on which Christ makes over this Righteousness of his?] |
A26974 | But are you indeed of the contrary opinion, and against that which you dispute against? |
A26974 | But do you indeed think that when Paul excludeth the works of the Law, that he excludeth them only as Recipient? |
A26974 | But do you not hereby confess that I give no more to works then you, but only less to faith? |
A26974 | But do you think that Repentance is not necessarily Antecedent to Justification, as well as to Remission? |
A26974 | But for works; How shall I know when I have the full number of them? |
A26974 | But from what interest? |
A26974 | But here is the question, Can a godly man dying, think the Righteousness of Christ is made his by working or believing? |
A26974 | But if it be the Object that he meaneth, then what force or sense is there in his Argument, from the terms,[ Purposing, Intending, Confessing?] |
A26974 | But if you do use it as a means, then what means is it? |
A26974 | But 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? |
A26974 | But if you will say so, what remedy But perhaps I intimate so much in my words; In what words? |
A26974 | But if[ only] be here understood, really doth not this Brother desire to know Christ obeying, Christ risen, Christ teaching, ruling, interceding,& c? |
A26974 | But in what sence James saith, we are justified by works, and not by Faith only? |
A26974 | But is it Christ or the believer that you put in these various Relations? |
A26974 | But is it not possible that it may cheat or deceive themselves, though some never utter it to the deceiving of others? |
A26974 | But is this the state of the question with us? |
A26974 | But now, on the other side, what inconvenience is there in the Doctrine of faith and justification as I deliver it? |
A26974 | But the question is whether the Interest of the several acts of our faith be accordingly distinct? |
A26974 | But to his Argument, I deny the consequence of the Major; and how is it proved? |
A26974 | But was it possible for them to be justified without the blood of Christ? |
A26974 | But what Condition? |
A26974 | But what are those All things? |
A26974 | But what condition? |
A26974 | But what if I be mistaken in this point? |
A26974 | But what if works and faith were both of them applyed to procure our Justification? |
A26974 | But what if you had only said that Faith is morally passive, and not physically? |
A26974 | But what is this to you? |
A26974 | But what remedy? |
A26974 | But what strange Arguments are these, that are such strangers still to the question? |
A26974 | But 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?] |
A26974 | But yet further, if Faith be passive Physically, let us find out first what is the Agent? |
A26974 | But you ask[ If Christs righteousness be able to satisfie, what is the matter that it removeth not all our Evangelical failings? |
A26974 | But your Doctrine, what Oedipus is able to unfold? |
A26974 | But, saith he, to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by the works of the Law, If the Righteousness of faith were not sufficient? |
A26974 | By what physical act of the Agent? |
A26974 | By what physical contact faith doth receive this? |
A26974 | Can I not tell you that your Argument is a Fallacy, but you will thus exclaim of me, as making you an Impostor? |
A26974 | Can every poor man or woman reach to know what a passive Action, or a passive Passion, or a Passive Instrument is? |
A26974 | Can he know that all shall work to him for good, though he know not whether he love God? |
A26974 | Can no man but the Perfectly obedient, perform the condition of pardon in the Gospel? |
A26974 | Can you find any lower place to give it? |
A26974 | Can you tell? |
A26974 | Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,( Guilt is the great load:) But under what Notion will Christ be come to? |
A26974 | Dare 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? |
A26974 | Did Christ expiate the sins, that by the Gospel men are obliged to punishment for? |
A26974 | Did I ever deny that faith must eye and follow Christs death to bring us to God? |
A26974 | Did ever man that writ of Philosophy once think that the soul did componere, dicidere, ratiocinari, judicare, patiendo& non agendo? |
A26974 | Did not Abrahams Obedience, and other works flow from Grace? |
A26974 | Did not each of these forsake that which by the former was accounted the good sound Definition? |
A26974 | Did they ever tell you that this distinction is in them? |
A26974 | Did we ever deny that Faith must be directed to Christ as Priest? |
A26974 | Did you doubt of these? |
A26974 | Did you ever see my Papers, or theirs? |
A26974 | Digbyes Atomes or number of small bodies which are in perpetual motion? |
A26974 | Do I ascribe any of Christs honour in the work to man? |
A26974 | Do I call the duty, a work of the Law, because I say the Law condemneth the neglecters of it? |
A26974 | Do I say any more then the Assembly saith in the preceding Question? |
A26974 | Do you believe in your conscience, that Christ is presented and represented in the Supper only as dying? |
A26974 | Do you believe this your self? |
A26974 | Do you indeed think, that to be an efficient cause of our justification, and to be a bare condition, is all one? |
A26974 | Do you not believe this? |
A26974 | Do you not discern that the Question concerneth you and every man, as much as me? |
A26974 | Do you not give up the Protestant cause here to the Papists in the point of certainty of salvation? |
A26974 | Do you not see that it is against you? |
A26974 | Do you not your selves call it fides formata charitate? |
A26974 | Do you think he did? |
A26974 | Do you think that I deny a godly life to be a comfortable testimony, and a necessary qualification of a man for pardon? |
A26974 | Do you think that any of these do make the pardon to be of Debt, and not of Grace? |
A26974 | Do you think that only the first instantaneous act of faith doth justifie, and no other after through the course of our lives? |
A26974 | Do you think that the Law doth not threaten unbelievers, when the Gospel hath commanded faith? |
A26974 | Do you verily believe that Repentance and Faith have no Interest in our Pardon, in sub- ordination to Christ? |
A26974 | Does not every man that undergoes various relations, variously act according to them? |
A26974 | Doth God every moment at a Court of Angels Declare each sinner in the world, remitted of his particular sin? |
A26974 | Doth he that speaks of receiving a man to be our Husband, King, Master,& c. mean it of one only Act? |
A26974 | Doth his Title cease as oft as he shuts his lips from saying, I thank you? |
A26974 | Doth it intervene between Christ and the effect? |
A26974 | Doth not Christ say, Take my yoak learn of me to be meek and lowly, that they may have ease and rest? |
A26974 | Doth not the Apostle contradict you by expounding himself in the very next verse before those you cite? |
A26974 | Doth that dishonour it? |
A26974 | Doth the Doctrine of faith alone without Christ advance Grace? |
A26974 | Doth the Gospel justifie us? |
A26974 | Doth the first acceptance here serve turn for continuance of what is first received, without the following Homage and Fidelity? |
A26974 | Doth[ Trusting him and Believing him] exclude a Resolution to obey his Directions and the future actual obedience? |
A26974 | Ease and Rest? |
A26974 | Else why may not they see it in it self? |
A26974 | Enquire whether videre, audire, be only Grammatical Actions( as you call them) and natural passions? |
A26974 | Ergo,& 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? |
A26974 | Even the performance of the Conditions on mans part? |
A26974 | Even they that raise questions, what one act of faith doth justifie, whether of the Vnderstanding or Will? |
A26974 | First you say, you exclude a co- operation effective, but why do we strive about words? |
A26974 | First, Did ever any man deny the necessity of inherent Righteousness, that was called a Protestant? |
A26974 | For how can they have any comfort that know not whether they are justified and shall be saved? |
A26974 | For 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? |
A26974 | For is that the state of the question with us? |
A26974 | For to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by works of the Law, if the righteousness of Faith were not sufficient? |
A26974 | For what Divine denyeth works to be a condition of Salvation, or of the final Justification? |
A26974 | For 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? |
A26974 | For what should I do? |
A26974 | For your question, How come the imperfections in our conditions to be pardoned? |
A26974 | From what? |
A26974 | Had I but delivered such a Doctrine as this, what should I have heard? |
A26974 | Hath not God said?] |
A26974 | Hath the Covenant of Grace( which promiseth Justification and Glorification) any condition on our parts, or none? |
A26974 | Have not I ever yielded to you that all works are excluded from Justifying as works? |
A26974 | Have you not Christs express words, that forgiving others is a condition of our Remission? |
A26974 | He instances in Abrahams works, and excludes them: now were Abrahams works, works done by the meer strength of the Law? |
A26974 | Here is causality, though improper; Here is a causa dispositiva: and yet shall I be blamed after I had removed Efficiency and Merit? |
A26974 | His fifth Argument is, that[ These two Justifications overthrow each other: If by one we have peace with God, what need the other? |
A26974 | His own received him not; What is that but they refused him? |
A26974 | How can good works perfect our Justification, being themselves imperfect?] |
A26974 | How can justifying faith qua talis in the act of Justifying, and Repentance, be reducible duties to the Law taken strictly? |
A26974 | How could he have brought a plainer evidence against himself? |
A26974 | How 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? |
A26974 | How doth it receive it? |
A26974 | How oft doth the Scripture expresly mention faith in our Lord Jesus Christ? |
A26974 | How strangely is it painted? |
A26974 | How then can you tell the world in print, that it seems I have met with a pack of Impostors, even them you mention? |
A26974 | How then is Love the fruit of faith, and as Divines say, a consequent of Justification? |
A26974 | How will they know when they Repent and Believe, when they have performed the full of these? |
A26974 | How will you ever prove, that our Entering into Life, and our continued remission or Justification have not the same conditions? |
A26974 | How would you have your Reader understand these two insinuations? |
A26974 | I deny his Consequence: And how is it proved? |
A26974 | I 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? |
A26974 | I wonder what made you think me of such an opinion that I have so much wrote against? |
A26974 | I would know 1. whether we are Guilty( not only facti, sed poenae) of every sin we commit? |
A26974 | I would sain know what that is which you here call Faith, and say its passive? |
A26974 | If God had not said[ He that believeth shall be justified and saved,] would Believing have done it? |
A26974 | If Satan say, This man both deserved death by sining since he Believed( as David) must we not be justified from that Accusation? |
A26974 | If faith should deserve the name of an instrument, when I think it is but a condition? |
A26974 | If faith were such a Physical Passive( or Active) Instrument, whether that be the formal direct reason of its justifying? |
A26974 | If he[ have not works, can faith save him?] |
A26974 | If it be no cause of pardon; Is it a condition sine qua non, as to that manner of pardoning that your prayer doth intend? |
A26974 | If it were, Whether that be the primary, formal Reason of its justifying vertue? |
A26974 | If medii, then what medium is it? |
A26974 | If of that, it s granted: but it s still denyed that perseverance is any of the Condition of our first pardon? |
A26974 | If one righteousness may serve, may not Pilate and Simon Magus be justified, if no man be put to prove his part in it? |
A26974 | If so, what hope of Justice? |
A26974 | If the later, you might as well have said, the Socinians assert that there is a God, and so do we: But to what purpose? |
A26974 | If we are Guilty, how can that consist with a justified state? |
A26974 | If we must fulfill him ▪ why may not a dying man look on them? |
A26974 | If you have, what place is it? |
A26974 | If you say, What need you then dispute the point, if they deny it not whom you dispute with? |
A26974 | Indeed if the Condition be never performed, then it destroyes or prevents the effect, and so the Instrument doth not agere: And why? |
A26974 | Is Believing attributed to God, or is it an act of man? |
A26974 | Is Love any part of the Condition of her Pardon and Dignity? |
A26974 | Is Prayer any cause of Pardon? |
A26974 | Is believing and trusting the Physitian some one single act, excluding all others? |
A26974 | Is here any room for further disputing? |
A26974 | Is it Christ himself that is physically received by faith? |
A26974 | Is it a Passion? |
A26974 | Is it a clear and profitable way of teaching to confound all these, under the general name of Covenant- breaking? |
A26974 | Is it any danger to give less to faith then others, while I give no less to Christ? |
A26974 | Is it fit to Dispute with such dealing as this? |
A26974 | Is it harsh when yet you never once shew the fault of the Speech? |
A26974 | Is it justice for you still to perswade the world that I mean some causality, though not efficiency? |
A26974 | Is it meant they took him not in their hands, or received not his Person into their houses? |
A26974 | Is it not a good Argument Negative, Abraham was not justified by works, therefore we are not? |
A26974 | Is it not at all an Act therefore? |
A26974 | Is it not safe when a man hath prerformed these conditions, to look on them either living or dying? |
A26974 | Is it not this, whether the Gospel Righteousness be made ours, otherwise then by believing? |
A26974 | Is it repent, and Christs Righteousness is by this made yours, and rest in Christ? |
A26974 | Is it the Act of Faith? |
A26974 | Is it the Habit? |
A26974 | Is it the Name or the Thing that you mean? |
A26974 | Is it then a meet phrase to say, that she is pardoned and dignified by loving such a Prince? |
A26974 | Is it then any whit probable that it is Gods meaning to exclude this respect of the act from any conditionality herein? |
A26974 | Is it true, that[ this is that in effect, which the Papists affirm in other words?] |
A26974 | Is not Christ the Law- giver? |
A26974 | Is not Faith ours as much Love,& c? |
A26974 | Is not Love and Obedience part of the Condition? |
A26974 | Is not one kind of work omitted when it s my duty, enough to invalidate my Justification? |
A26974 | Is not this all that our Divines say, or require? |
A26974 | Is not this as much as I say? |
A26974 | Is not this as plain as may be? |
A26974 | Is not this one of the Opinionists, that so far joyneth with the Socinians and Papists? |
A26974 | Is not your Testament that gives your Legacy, because it gives conditionally? |
A26974 | Is that man justified that believeth not in Christ as the King and Prophet of the Church? |
A26974 | Is the Gospel that must be published among all Nations, the History only? |
A26974 | Is the condition of her Deliverance and Pardon, the taking him only under the Notion of a Pardoner or Deliverer? |
A26974 | Is there a further condition required to this condition? |
A26974 | Is there any difficulty in this, or is there any doubt of it? |
A26974 | Is there no aptitude in Christs legal Righteousness to give us life? |
A26974 | Is this a sweet and Christian sense? |
A26974 | Is this adding to the Scripture unjustly? |
A26974 | Is this an Act too? |
A26974 | It 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? |
A26974 | Item quomodo causarentur relationes rationis, sive intentiones logicae, quae sunt in actu collativo? |
A26974 | Must not those Conditions be fulfilled by our selves? |
A26974 | My last Question was, Whether now your Doctrine or mine be the more obscure, doubtfull and dangerous? |
A26974 | Nay is it like to be the great business of that day to enquire whether Christ have done his part or no? |
A26974 | Nay the act is but a moral act, such as a Statute or Bond acteth, and what need Faith to be a physical Instrument? |
A26974 | None''s here so fruitfull as the Leaning Vine: And what though some be drunken with the Wine? |
A26974 | Nonne quod dicere quoque periculosum est, sed ad adificationem proferendum est, d ● abolum Domino praeponit? |
A26974 | Nor what Faith justifieth? |
A26974 | Nor whether Faith justifie? |
A26974 | Nothing to assure men of Justification by faith, but immediate communications to Believers? |
A26974 | Now I pray you tell me whether here be not full as much as Dr. Ward or I say? |
A26974 | Now how will they avoid Tompsons Doctrine of Intercision of that Title to Salvation, upon the committing of such sins? |
A26974 | Now the question is, what is the condition of this womans deliverance and Dignity? |
A26974 | Now would you perswade us that Paul excludeth this kind of Interest, or opposeth faith to it? |
A26974 | OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification? |
A26974 | OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification? |
A26974 | Of a Cause? |
A26974 | Or are there no such conditions which man must perform himself or perish? |
A26974 | Or can any thing but the want of this personal righteousness then hazard a mans soul? |
A26974 | Or do you think none were justified before? |
A26974 | Or doth every weak Christian believe all the twenty Articles that you mentioned at first? |
A26974 | Or from what Agent and Act? |
A26974 | Or he that gives any great matter on Condition of such Receiving, Doth he mean that any one single Act is that Condition? |
A26974 | Or is it excluded? |
A26974 | Or is it that Repentance is conjoyned as to our first Justification, and obedience as to that at Judgement? |
A26974 | Or is it the Intellective Reception of his species? |
A26974 | Or is that Promise to them only that suffer for the Declarative part only? |
A26974 | Or that believing in Christs blood for everlasting Life and happiness, should be any more called works then believing in his blood for Justification? |
A26974 | Or that it is this or that only Act? |
A26974 | Or the omission of many individual acts of faith? |
A26974 | Or was it ever his intent to advance some one act of theirs? |
A26974 | Or what do you say less then I do here? |
A26974 | Or what m ● ● ● Paul to rejoyce in the testimony of his Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity he had his conversation? |
A26974 | Or whether it is meerly Pati? |
A26974 | Or whether their Being is only in the eye? |
A26974 | Or, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the works which Paul excludeth from Justification? |
A26974 | Or, Whether it have only Entity and Verity, or only Goodness for its Object? |
A26974 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory? |
A26974 | Our Question is, How the sense of James shall be known? |
A26974 | Our question then is only of the nature, and reason of that necessity? |
A26974 | Pauls Question is, What is the Righteousness which must denominate a sinner just at the Bar of the Law? |
A26974 | Repented of all sins that must be Repented of? |
A26974 | Reply, 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? |
A26974 | Secondly, But what if that were so? |
A26974 | Seeing you think( truly) that Pardon is iterated as oft as we sin, by what Transient Act of God is this done? |
A26974 | Shall I again tell you the true ground of mens mistake( as I think) in this Point? |
A26974 | So that it is not the natural, but the moral Truth, that is wanting: And what is that? |
A26974 | So that it is one question to ask, Why doth Faith or Works of Obedience to Christ Justifie? |
A26974 | Still the Question wanting in the conclusion: Who denyeth that Christ crucified is the object of justifying faith? |
A26974 | That Readers do you expect, that will take an Assertion of Fear- Love, and Obedience, in stead of an assertion concerning Faith? |
A26974 | That 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? |
A26974 | That 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? |
A26974 | The Question is not whether Faith work? |
A26974 | The conclusion never was acquainted with our Question? |
A26974 | The fifth Question is, Whether Faith be any Instrument of our Justification? |
A26974 | The fourth Question is, Whether other Graces may not be as properly called physical passive Instruments as Faith, is your sense? |
A26974 | The 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? |
A26974 | The question that James disputed, was, Whether men are justified by meer believing without Gospel- Obedience? |
A26974 | The third Question is, Whether faith be passive in its instrumentality? |
A26974 | Therefore it solely dependeth on it: And if these things were true, what are they to our question? |
A26974 | Thirdly, The words of the Jews to John( If thou be not that Christ nor Elias, nor that Prophet, why baptizest thou? |
A26974 | This Union is by Faith: We are united to him as to a Head, Husband and Prince, and not only as a Justifier? |
A26974 | This is the Wills first act towards it object; and will you say that Love goes before justifying faith, and so before Justification? |
A26974 | Thus methinks all that I desire is granted already: what Adversary could a man dream of among Protestants in such a Cause? |
A26974 | Truly it is quite beyond my shallow capacity to reach what you here mean to be so harsh: what should I imagine? |
A26974 | WHether Besides the Righteousness of Christ imputed, there be a personal evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation? |
A26974 | WHether the Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul? |
A26974 | WHether we are justified by believing in Jesus Christ as our King and Teacher, as well as by believing in his blood? |
A26974 | WHether works are a condition of condition of Justification, and so whether we are justified by works as such a condition? |
A26974 | Wards is to that of the Council of Tre ● t? |
A26974 | Was it ever the less a Law or Promise, the Object of Faith, or Instrument of Justification? |
A26974 | Was it not the Gospel which Christ and the Apostles preached? |
A26974 | Was it only the Declaration of Christs Death, Resurrection,& c. which is the Gospel according to which mens secrets must be judged? |
A26974 | Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the Altar? |
A26974 | Was there no Gospel- grant then extant? |
A26974 | Were Abrahams works in opposition to Christ? |
A26974 | Were it not then better to perswade all people, even when they are whoring, or drunk, to trust on Christ to pardon and justifie them? |
A26974 | Were you not comparing faith in Christ as King, with faith in Christ as Priest only? |
A26974 | What Agreement then hath this Argument with all the rest, or with his question? |
A26974 | What Mystical Relative Union is that which is not a Moral Union? |
A26974 | What a pack of Arguments are here? |
A26974 | What are the Conditions? |
A26974 | What are therefore these two kinds of Righteousness, but contradictory to each other? |
A26974 | What be the Deeds that you know my mind by to be contrary to my words? |
A26974 | What doth faith thus receive? |
A26974 | What 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? |
A26974 | What if Faith were passive in its Instrumentality? |
A26974 | What if I dare not do so, but give that glory to God, and not to the nature of our own act? |
A26974 | What if the Law condemn the neglect of a Gospel duty? |
A26974 | What is it that you call Sanctification? |
A26974 | What is it then? |
A26974 | What is justifying Faith? |
A26974 | What is more obvious, then that there are many conditions in justificato, which are not in actu justificationis? |
A26974 | What is the Terminus ad quem? |
A26974 | What is this thing called Faith, which you make such a Proteus, to be Active and Passive as to several Objects? |
A26974 | What more proper to the reformed Religion, as such, then to honour the Scriptures? |
A26974 | What not the signs by which faith it self should be known, and therefore should be notiora? |
A26974 | What real difference between the godly and the wicked, the saved and damned? |
A26974 | What room is there for them all, without confusion, If both color, quantity, odor, and all be there? |
A26974 | What sense would you make of it if you should interpret this and such texts as this of all moral Acts? |
A26974 | What the Action? |
A26974 | What the Patient or Object? |
A26974 | What then in the whole world shall escape that censure? |
A26974 | What then is the matter? |
A26974 | What tolearable sense can be given of that multitude of plain Scriptures which I have cited? |
A26974 | What''s this to the Question? |
A26974 | What''s this to the Question? |
A26974 | What, that Faith should be this subservient Righteousness? |
A26974 | When Tolet disputeth utrum ixtelligere sit pati? |
A26974 | When 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? |
A26974 | When will you prove the Consequence of this Argument? |
A26974 | When you ask how saith Paul true? |
A26974 | Whence? |
A26974 | Whether Affiance, Recombency, Assurance,& c. or whether a Passion? |
A26974 | Whether Believing be so, only verbum activum, but Physically passive? |
A26974 | Whether Besides the Righteousness of Christ Imputed, there be a Personal Evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation? |
A26974 | Whether Christ himself be not the object of it? |
A26974 | Whether Faith be any proper Instrument of our Justification? |
A26974 | Whether Good be not the object of the Will, and so Christ be not willed as Good? |
A26974 | Whether Works are a Condition of Justification? |
A26974 | Whether a moral? |
A26974 | Whether faith be passive in its Instrumentality? |
A26974 | Whether is the Condition of the species or individuums of works? |
A26974 | Whether it be necessitas medii ad finem, as to the continuance or consummation of our Justification? |
A26974 | Whether justifying faith be not an act of the Will as well as the Understanding? |
A26974 | Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul? |
A26974 | Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the soul? |
A26974 | Whether the same may not be said as truly of other Graces? |
A26974 | Whether they be an image or similitude begotten or caused by the Object, as Combacchius and most? |
A26974 | Whether this or that act? |
A26974 | Whether this willing be not the same as Loving, as love is found in the rational appetite? |
A26974 | Whether to Believe be only verbum activ ● m? |
A26974 | Whether we are Justified by Beliveing in Jesus Christ, as our King and Teacher; as well as by believing in his Blood? |
A26974 | Whether you can call Affiance, or any other act of the will justifying faith, excluding this willing, or not principally including it? |
A26974 | Whether your Opinion or mine be the plainer or safer? |
A26974 | Which call you the good, sound definition of Faith? |
A26974 | Which of those acts do you think goes not before Justification? |
A26974 | Who ever said, and where, that passive Justification( yea or active) is the Gospel it self, or the sign? |
A26974 | Who speaks more against faith, they or I? |
A26974 | Who then gives more to works, you or I? |
A26974 | Who will say so? |
A26974 | Who would have thought that you had held such a point? |
A26974 | Why do I not understand with every dull thought? |
A26974 | Why from what they came burdened with? |
A26974 | Why may not Christ given us ▪ justifie us as the meritorious cause, and a principal efficient; and his Gospel- grant, as his Instrument? |
A26974 | Why 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? |
A26974 | Why may not faith be a condition, as well as an Instrument of receiving the pardon of its own Imperfection? |
A26974 | Why not Conditions as well as Instruments or Causes? |
A26974 | Why then do you still harp upon the word[ works] as if I did give more to them? |
A26974 | Why then should I aim at this mark? |
A26974 | Why 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? |
A26974 | Will any say that the Saints do no good works? |
A26974 | Will it not be as dangerous to omit that one as all, seeing that one is required as a Condition? |
A26974 | Will not such think they may sin salva fide? |
A26974 | Will not the omission of Repentance for one sin invalidate it? |
A26974 | Will you ask now[ If faith be imperfect, how comes the guilt of that Imperfection to be pardoned? |
A26974 | Will you call to any judicious Reader, to tell you that which I particularly exprest to you? |
A26974 | Will you not maintain it against a Papist when you are returned to your former temper? |
A26974 | Will you not produce your faith and repentance for your Justification against this charge, and so to prove your Interest in Christ? |
A26974 | Will you say, not by the words, but by the sense? |
A26974 | Will you thence infer that none are justified till death? |
A26974 | Will you therefore conclude that the Moral Agency or Efficiency of these Laws is past, and therefore they do not condemn or justifie? |
A26974 | Would you have us say more of them, or less? |
A26974 | Ye will not come to me that ye may have life: How oft would I, and ye would not? |
A26974 | Yea and whether there be any such thing? |
A26974 | Yea how great a controversie is it what the sensible and intelligible species are? |
A26974 | Yea is it not a notorious truth, that it is quite another thing which the Papists affirm in somewhat like words? |
A26974 | Yea 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? |
A26974 | Yea when the rest are acknowledged to be part of the Condition? |
A26974 | Yea who doubteth but he might have given them without any condition, even that of acceptance? |
A26974 | Yea, Why do the best Divines preach so much against Presumption? |
A26974 | Yet in the places cited, who knows not the same word hath different senses? |
A26974 | You ask, Were Abrahams works in opposition to that,& c? |
A26974 | You ask[ Is it repent, and Christs righteousness by this is made yours?] |
A26974 | You confess that by ungodly, is meant such, though Regenerate and holy, that have not an adequate holiness: Adequate; To what? |
A26974 | You demand,[ Will you exclude his Obedience, Resurrection, intercession]? |
A26974 | You here ask me,[ Whether I think you deny a godly life to be a comfortable Testimony, or necessary qualification of a man for pardon?] |
A26974 | You know by Justification they mean principally Sanctification? |
A26974 | You reply, If there be justifying works, how saith Paul true? |
A26974 | You say the question is,[ Whether the Gospel righteousness be made ours otherwise then by believing?] |
A26974 | You say, how then saith James true? |
A26974 | Your 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?] |
A26974 | and 10 29? |
A26974 | and all because he would not deny either Christ or Faith? |
A26974 | and excuse not Infidels from the guilt of Rebellion against the Redeemer? |
A26974 | and have limited our justification to any one act? |
A26974 | and how called? |
A26974 | and how can they know that, when they know not what justifying saith is? |
A26974 | and how can they know that, who know not whether they have faith? |
A26974 | and how can they know what it is, when it is by Divines involved in such a cloud and maze of difficulties? |
A26974 | and how we receive Christ, as a man takes a gift in his hand? |
A26974 | and instead of the act we are now set to enquire after the passion? |
A26974 | and is that positive or vehement affirming it? |
A26974 | and not as qualifying? |
A26974 | and saith, God giveth to will,( that is, to believe) and to do,& c. that all this is meant of meer Passion? |
A26974 | and should dream of such perfection short of heaven, the place of our perfection? |
A26974 | and so actively justifie us? |
A26974 | and so another to that with a processus in infinitum? |
A26974 | and so is Evangelically righteous? |
A26974 | and such a Love as is distinct from justifying faith as being no part of it? |
A26974 | and that it is of aequal difficulty upon your own and others opinion, as upon mine? |
A26974 | and the King? |
A26974 | and the very same? |
A26974 | and what is that? |
A26974 | and whether it be not the plain and frequent speech of Scripture? |
A26974 | and why hath it not been discovered unto the world? |
A26974 | and will there be joy in heaven for reducing a man from such an opinion? |
A26974 | and yet meerly Recipient? |
A26974 | are not those acts conditions? |
A26974 | believed all necessary Truths? |
A26974 | but what of that? |
A26974 | by him performed? |
A26974 | de Dieu, Bucer, Calvin, Zanchy? |
A26974 | especially least they should yield to universal Redemption in any kind? |
A26974 | except Mr. Pemble and a very few that with him make Sanctification and Vocation to be all one? |
A26974 | from what? |
A26974 | if not guilty: then what need of Pardon, of daily praying Forgive us our Debts, or of a Christ to procure our Pardon? |
A26974 | if so; then doth not faith justifie directly, as the condition of the Gift, Promise, or new Covenant? |
A26974 | is any excepted to the Penitent Believer? |
A26974 | is it by a further condition, and so in infinitum?] |
A26974 | is there any danger in it? |
A26974 | is there any danger in this? |
A26974 | it is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth? |
A26974 | no deed of Gift of Christ and his Righteousness to all that should believe? |
A26974 | nor his Intercession,( for who shall condemn us? |
A26974 | of that gift? |
A26974 | or do you think the difference to be of no moment? |
A26974 | or doth Scripture tell you? |
A26974 | or doth it signifie any one act? |
A26974 | or else that they do such good works as make the Reward to be not of Grace but of debt? |
A26974 | or is it only a condition without which he will not cure them? |
A26974 | or of another gift? |
A26974 | or of such sins as Davids, before Repentance? |
A26974 | or rather to advance the Lord Jesus whom faith Receiveth? |
A26974 | or shall any be saved that saith,[ I did not repent or believe, but Christ did for me?] |
A26974 | or 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? |
A26974 | or that ever such a thing can be proved? |
A26974 | or 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? |
A26974 | or the act of any one single faculty that the people of the land must perform? |
A26974 | or to see through all the difficulties that I have discovered here in your Doctrine? |
A26974 | or to the constitution of the condition in the Gospel? |
A26974 | or what proof is there from Scripture for this? |
A26974 | or yet to enquire, whether the world were sinners? |
A26974 | or yet, that he hath commanded us in the Gospel, so to work that the Reward may not be of grace, but debt? |
A26974 | that every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bird, Stone,& c. and other bodies, have their several distinct species in the Air night and day? |
A26974 | that is to bring Christ down from above: or who shall descend into the deep? |
A26974 | that is to bring up Christ again from the dead: But what saith it? |
A26974 | that we deny even to all: Of a Condition? |
A26974 | that[ If thou confess with thy mouth, and believe in thy heart,& c.] that[ If] is a conjunction conditional? |
A26974 | the Trusting to Christ for Pardon and Salvation only, without taking him for their King and Prophet? |
A26974 | the satisfaction of a surety? |
A26974 | to justifie? |
A26974 | to note[ what in Christ received doth justifie] rather then[ what respect of our act of faith is the condition?] |
A26974 | to the Law? |
A26974 | what is the danger? |
A26974 | what need any more then to be said of it? |
A26974 | when I say, that[ all that I have to do with, grant the Antecedent] and what''s that to the question in hand? |
A26974 | whether Assent only, or Affiance? |
A26974 | whether they can be the Subjects of Passion; and so be passive Acts? |
A26974 | which 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? |
A26974 | why 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? |
A26974 | why is not the willingness he should raign, part of saving, justifying faith? |
A26974 | why then if you be so tender, who may deal with you? |
A26974 | with most do affirm? |
A26974 | would not men think that learning made them dote? |
A26974 | yea and what Law shall condemn them, if the Law of Works justifie them? |
A26974 | yea 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? |
A29752 | 10. is there any appearance of the exception of any one sin? |
A29752 | 10: 10. that with the heart man beleeveth unto righteousness, must not this Righteousness be something distinct from beleeving? |
A29752 | 10: 3, 4, 9, 27. only proveth, that Christ''s sheep know& hear his voice: And who denieth this? |
A29752 | 11, 12. what intimation is given of an exception of any? |
A29752 | 17? |
A29752 | 1: 16, 17? |
A29752 | 1: 30? |
A29752 | 1: 4. why did the Lord Jesus give himself for our sinnes? |
A29752 | 1: 7. we have redemption in his blood: what Redemption? |
A29752 | 21? |
A29752 | 26: 28. are not all these sins pardoned virtually& fundamently? |
A29752 | 2: 14. did he not purchase Faith, without which we can not be such? |
A29752 | 2: 17? |
A29752 | 2: 8? |
A29752 | 3. last Do we then make void the Law through faith? |
A29752 | 3: 10- 20? |
A29752 | 3: 21. and not in our Place& Stead? |
A29752 | 3: 25. if the word Faith should be there taken properly,& not for its object? |
A29752 | 3: 26? |
A29752 | 3: 5, 6. have we not Faith also through him? |
A29752 | 3: 9. meaned, by his own righteouness, only such works, as he expresly accounted meritorious? |
A29752 | 3: 9? |
A29752 | 3: 9? |
A29752 | 3: 9? |
A29752 | 3? |
A29752 | 42: 6. if he had a righteousness within him,& had been justified by the Lord, upon the account of that inherent righteousness? |
A29752 | 4? |
A29752 | 4? |
A29752 | 5. he was wounded for our transgressions,& c. and what followeth upon this Impetration? |
A29752 | 5: 19. what then will they say to this? |
A29752 | 5: 21? |
A29752 | 5: 31? |
A29752 | 7: 26? |
A29752 | 8, 9. was given to him, not as Mediator, but for himself, as an humble, obedient man? |
A29752 | 8: 30. Who shall then lay any thing to the charge of God''s Elect? |
A29752 | 8: 33. restricteth both equally unto the Elect: who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect? |
A29752 | 9: 14, 18,& all to purchase a meer Possibility; or a meer Possible Redemption? |
A29752 | 9: 24 Doth our act of beleeving last for ever? |
A29752 | 9: 31, 32. that Israel, which followed after the Law of righteousness, did not attaine to the Law of righteo ● sness; Wherefore? |
A29752 | Adae peccatum imputabitur mihi,& Christi justitia non pertinebit ad me? |
A29752 | Againe, if Justice be satisfied for these others, why are they not liberat? |
A29752 | Againe, what though the word had that Import here? |
A29752 | An peccatum in semine peccatoris,& non justitia in sanguine Christi? |
A29752 | And I would ask, what for a Righteousness this pardon of sins is? |
A29752 | And againe I would enquire, what Righteousness hath it merited unto us? |
A29752 | And againe I would enquire, whether this Justification be accompanied with pardon of sin,& with Right to Christ& to glory, or not? |
A29752 | And are we not all agreed of all this? |
A29752 | And at what cost, paines& charges are they, in seeking to establish their own Righteousness? |
A29752 | And can any reason evince, that the Lord can not conferre& bestow, in the grand privilege of justification, moe particular favoures than one? |
A29752 | And did ever any meane otherwise, when they spoke of faith as an Instrument, or mean? |
A29752 | And did not the Father accept of what he did& suffered, as a full Compensation,& Satisfaction? |
A29752 | And doth he not also tell us, that this would make the reward to be reckoned not of grace, but of debt vers 4? |
A29752 | And for what end? |
A29752 | And further, it doth hereby appear, that all which is procured, is but some power to God& to Christ; But what is mans advantage? |
A29752 | And further, what was this power? |
A29752 | And had not Paul as good ground, as any, to assert his justification by his personal inherent holiness& righteousness? |
A29752 | And how can his death be a price of Redemption for the rest? |
A29752 | And how can we say, that God did intend the Redemption of all, when all are not actually Redeemed? |
A29752 | And how can 〈 ◊ 〉 pardon cause this transformation? |
A29752 | And 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? |
A29752 | And how is that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 o ● Righteousness fulfilled? |
A29752 | And how is the opposition here observed, betwixt Christs being made sin,& their being made the Righteousness of God in Him? |
A29752 | And how sweetly will their hearts acquiesce in this Sure and Saife way of obtaining life? |
A29752 | And how would they hereby glorify God in the world? |
A29752 | And 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? |
A29752 | And how, I pray, can this besaid to be procured or derived upon a man by faith? |
A29752 | And if not, where is the consequence of the Apostles argueing from his practice? |
A29752 | And if we enquire, what this was, which Abraham did beleeve? |
A29752 | And in our case, I would require, what he will account Essential? |
A29752 | And is Faith Christ? |
A29752 | And 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? |
A29752 | And is it not saifest to keep far from such a dangerous precipice? |
A29752 | And is it not strange, that Paul never once made mention of this distinction? |
A29752 | And it is as improper to say, that pardon justifieth: Let him tell me, how holiness with pardon can justifie? |
A29752 | And 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? |
A29752 | And not also, when the same punishment, in all its essential ingredients, is undergone& suffered by another? |
A29752 | And of the Reprobat, for whom he was not to purchase thereby? |
A29752 | And shall we imagine, that He shall be a Redeemer& Deliverer, and yet no man Redeemed or delivered? |
A29752 | And 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? |
A29752 | And should not this Righteousness, if his beleeving had been it, been of the Law? |
A29752 | And that if our father Abraham were justified by works, he should have had, whereof to glory, though not before God vers 2? |
A29752 | And then why may not both be imputed unto them? |
A29752 | And then, what need it be said, that the State of Justification is continued upon such termes? |
A29752 | And was He not made of a woman, given and born to us? |
A29752 | And was He not obliged to both, as Surety, in room& place? |
A29752 | And was he more obliged unto the Atonement of Christ, than others, who did violate of new these Conditions? |
A29752 | And was not Adam before the fall also bound unto gratitude? |
A29752 | And was not His death& Sufferings also subservient unto this great end? |
A29752 | And what a wonderful Grace is this, that is here manifested? |
A29752 | And what be these? |
A29752 | And what by this meanes hath Christs Propitiatory Sacrifice obtained more, than a meer possibility of salvation, to either one or other? |
A29752 | And what can else be said by such, as make this the whole of what Christ did purchase? |
A29752 | And what errour I pray, or heresie is it, that doth not pretend to the like? |
A29752 | And what for a cause shall we take that, causa sine qua non to be? |
A29752 | And what giveth he for the ground of this? |
A29752 | And what imaginable colour can be from any thing that the Apostle spoke, in the foregoing words, for such an objection, as this? |
A29752 | And what is all this to the purpose? |
A29752 | And what is there here peculiar unto Christ, as Lord Mediator, seing the lives of other Saints are also exemplary? |
A29752 | And what lawyer, I pray, will yeeld to this reason? |
A29752 | And what then? |
A29752 | And what then? |
A29752 | And what then? |
A29752 | And what was it, that they did? |
A29752 | And what would he hence inferre? |
A29752 | And what would he make of Christ? |
A29752 | And where do we read, that all were given unto him to redeem? |
A29752 | And where is then the truth of this axiome? |
A29752 | And wherefore is all this? |
A29752 | And whereunto is that Call? |
A29752 | And who can express the good and sweet of this life? |
A29752 | And who can express what a life this is? |
A29752 | And who doubts 〈 ◊ 〉 the perfection of this, that acknowledgeth the perfection of the Law? |
A29752 | And who knoweth not, that Self can wax proud,& be puffed up, upon a smaller occasion, than is this? |
A29752 | And who may not see the folly of this Reddition, to inferre this from the Lord''s calling Iohn Baptist Elias& the like? |
A29752 | And who, I pray, more guilty of troubling the world with these contendings, than he? |
A29752 | And whose Righteousness else can this be, if it be not Christ''s? |
A29752 | And why is not His obeying also added? |
A29752 | And why may we not say, that He obeyed in the juridical and Law person of a sinner, as well as that He suffered? |
A29752 | And why not also an Universal Salvation conditional? |
A29752 | And why not also by their works of Obedience? |
A29752 | And why not also, if faith be now accounted the fulfilling of the Law, and be now imputed to us, as all our Righteousness? |
A29752 | And why not? |
A29752 | And why saith he not so of the Apostle Paul also? |
A29752 | And why should it then be simply,& without limitation, said that Christ died for all Conditionally? |
A29752 | And why so? |
A29752 | And why so? |
A29752 | And why would the Father send him to die for such? |
A29752 | And why, may we enquire, would the Apostle so laboriously prove both Iewes& Gentiles to be guilty of sin? |
A29752 | And will not Papists, Socinians& Arminians yeeld unto this Imputation: Nay doth not Bellarmine come a further length, in the words formerly cited? |
A29752 | And will not all Socinians grant, that Christ Suffered thus in our stead, that is, in our Nature? |
A29752 | Answere him againe, by asking, how came the world to be condemned by the disobedience of one Adam? |
A29752 | Are herein comprehended all commanded duties? |
A29752 | Are his intentions so fallible, and frustrable? |
A29752 | Are only regenerat persons said to be under the Law? |
A29752 | As the beginning of justification is so contrived, as all boasting is taken away, so must the Continnance thereof be conceived to be? |
A29752 | But I wonder how did the Apostle by his doctrine establish the Ceremonial Law? |
A29752 | But Israel, which followed after the law of Righteousness, hath not attained to the law of Righteousness; wherefore? |
A29752 | But did Paul meane nothing but his consciencious observance of this Law, when he said, I have lived in all good conscience to this day? |
A29752 | But do not many both in sermons& in writtings, even when speaking of Pardon& of justification, joyn Repentance with faith? |
A29752 | But do we say, That pardon taketh away the Reatus culpae, in it self? |
A29752 | But doth he think, that Abraham, or David had any such apprehensions? |
A29752 | But how absurd is it to think or say, that the Beleever hath no more to do with Christ''s Righteousness? |
A29752 | But how can he come, who hath no power to Beleeve or Repent, without grace? |
A29752 | But how proveth this man, what he here alledgeth? |
A29752 | But how shall this sense of the words make them a proof or confirmation of what was said in the former verse? |
A29752 | But how was this work of Salvation begun? |
A29752 | But if the act of obedience in His death, include these, why not His whole state of humiliation? |
A29752 | But it will be said, How then is Christ received by faith, as a King? |
A29752 | But may they for all that perish? |
A29752 | But moreover, where is our Righteousness? |
A29752 | But next, what meaneth Mr. Baxter by this jus actuale? |
A29752 | But now as to works, whereof both make mentione, the question remaineth, whether they be one& the same? |
A29752 | But now, how will this agree with Universal Redemption? |
A29752 | But now, what doth Iames direct us to by the word Faith, which he mentioneth? |
A29752 | But now, what question handleth Iames? |
A29752 | But of what import could that Possible Call be, if Salvation was not also possible unto them? |
A29752 | But 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? |
A29752 | But surder, what of all this? |
A29752 | But the Question is, whether Repentance be a proper Condition of Pardon of sins, committed after Justification: or not? |
A29752 | But then, what need is there of Remission? |
A29752 | But though it be a truth, that justifying faith is a working lively faith? |
A29752 | But was this all? |
A29752 | But what Law is this, by which, he denieth, that any can be justified? |
A29752 | But what Righteousness is or can be in a Law, but what is there, by way of prescription? |
A29752 | But what Scripture doth teach us this? |
A29752 | But what answereth Mr. Baxter? |
A29752 | But what answereth he? |
A29752 | But what answereth he? |
A29752 | But what can he hence inferre for confirmation of the Minor? |
A29752 | But what desperat shifts will not a wrong cause put men to use, who will not be truths captives? |
A29752 | But what doth Mr. Baxter mean by God''s Covenant? |
A29752 | But what ground is there for this in the Text, or context? |
A29752 | But what if ourselves, in our own natural persons, had undergone the penalty, had we therefore ipso facto attained a perfect deliverance? |
A29752 | But what if this be his mistake? |
A29752 | But what is a Potential Right? |
A29752 | But what is all this to the point? |
A29752 | But what is that Righteousness in the law? |
A29752 | But what is that, to accept the gift, as it is? |
A29752 | But what is the meaning of this? |
A29752 | But what is this Faith? |
A29752 | But what is this to the business in hand? |
A29752 | But what is this to the matter? |
A29752 | But what is this? |
A29752 | But what palpable& manifest perverting of the Scripture& of the works thereof, is this? |
A29752 | But what saith all this to the purpose now in hand? |
A29752 | But what then? |
A29752 | But where findeth he this, either asserted, or granted by the Apostle, or the Question thus stated by the Apostle? |
A29752 | But who can tell us, what that proportion, or that sort would have been? |
A29752 | But who seeth not, how this is to set up proud Man, whom Paul would have debased& kept down? |
A29752 | But who speak of such an Imputation of Sanctification? |
A29752 | But why could not this Love effectuat the good of all? |
A29752 | But why is not vers 30. mentioned? |
A29752 | But why, I pray, if this belong not to the object of justifying faith? |
A29752 | But why? |
A29752 | But you will ask of me, if I think, that Christ did die for final unbeleefe? |
A29752 | But you will say, if we be perfectly righteous by the Imputation of Christs righteousness, what need have we of any more? |
A29752 | By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many, this Justification is the Application;& whence cometh it? |
A29752 | By what Law? |
A29752 | By what law? |
A29752 | Can 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? |
A29752 | Can He not both free the beleever from the condemnation of hell,& adjudge him to the life of glory? |
A29752 | Can He not both pardon sins,& accept as,& declare to be Righteous? |
A29752 | Can a man be changed into a Law? |
A29752 | Can any thing; which they themselves can do, yeeld more ground of Peace& Confidence? |
A29752 | Can faith be said to be revealed from it self,& to it self? |
A29752 | Can the Law require more than absolute perfection? |
A29752 | Can their sinnes be said to be purged, who pine a way in hell for ever, because of their sinnes? |
A29752 | Christ suffered for sins, the just for the unjust: To what end and purpose? |
A29752 | Could Adam do more in sin, than Christ in good? |
A29752 | Did Christ fail in laying down the Ransome? |
A29752 | Did Christ know, whether or not this condition would be performed? |
A29752 | Did ever man before acknowledg faith, to justifie instrumentally,& yet deny the Imputation of the Righteousness of Christ, as he doth? |
A29752 | Did he procure Grace unto them, to obey it? |
A29752 | Did he purchase Faith to these few; and would he not purchase Faith to the rest,& yet lay downe the great price for them? |
A29752 | Did it binde him( saith he againe) both to obey& suffer for his new sin, the next Instant? |
A29752 | Did not Christ do& suffer all, which he undertook to do,& suffer for this end? |
A29752 | Did not Christ make Reconciliation for the sinnes of his people? |
A29752 | Did 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? |
A29752 | Do all the world belong to his peculiar people? |
A29752 | Do the Apostles Mediums only serve to prove, that justification is not by the Law Meerly or Primarily? |
A29752 | Do these words carry this sense, where ever they are used? |
A29752 | Do they mean( saith he further) that the Law bound man both to perfection,& to suffering for perfection, or to suffering for sin? |
A29752 | Do we not hear, that a childe was born to us,& a Son was given to us? |
A29752 | Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
A29752 | Do we then make void the Law, through faith? |
A29752 | Doth he think, that we make Christ such a Surety, as agreeth in all things with every Surety, among men? |
A29752 | Doth not an interest in the Merites, procureing any thing, include an interest in the thing Merited? |
A29752 | Doth this admit of exceptions, and of such an exception, as would unavoidably make all null? |
A29752 | Either the Lord knew, that some would get good by this fruite of wonderful love, or not? |
A29752 | Even when we know nothing by ourselves, yet are we not hereby justified? |
A29752 | For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God? |
A29752 | For by grace are ye saved through faith: and how was this? |
A29752 | Further, 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? |
A29752 | Had we no other Interest, or ground of Interest in it, or in Him, but that it was performed in our Nature? |
A29752 | Haud Dei justitia magis ad condemn ● ndum, quam ad restaurandum valuit? |
A29752 | Having thus dispatched the second particular, we come unto the Third; to wit, to enquire, whether perseverance be a Condition of Justification? |
A29752 | He addeth, But what man is he, that sinneth not? |
A29752 | He died for all: But for what end and purpose? |
A29752 | He is called the Vine stock,& shall he have no Brancnes? |
A29752 | He querieth againe, did the Law binde Adam, to obey& suffer, before he sinned? |
A29752 | He 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? |
A29752 | He that spared not his owne Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall not with him also freely give us all things? |
A29752 | Heb: 13: 12. wherefore did Jesus suffer without the gate? |
A29752 | Hope savingly in God, yeeld Christian Obedience to all the commands of God, without God''s Predetermining motion upon his heart? |
A29752 | How Faith is and may be called an Instrument? |
A29752 | How absurd is it to imagine this? |
A29752 | How 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? |
A29752 | How came Paul''s righteousness to be his, and so one accident to go from subject to subject? |
A29752 | How came this to passe? |
A29752 | How can Christ be said to satisfie for the rest? |
A29752 | How can Faith be the Righteousness of God, which is by faith? |
A29752 | How can He be said, to have fulfilled all the Law for us, that did not fulfill it to all due ends? |
A29752 | How can any part of the curse work for us a far more exceeding& eternal weight of glory? |
A29752 | How can this be a proof of what was said vers 3. foregoing? |
A29752 | How can this be the end of Christ''s condemning sin in the flesh, as himself said it was, Except 2? |
A29752 | How can ye thus prepare the way to return, and lead your followers back again unto Babylon? |
A29752 | How come they to be under grace,& not under the law? |
A29752 | How cometh it to passe, that many, whose Reconciliation Christ hath purchased, live& die enemies to God? |
A29752 | How could Christ''s blood purge us from all sin, if it were not the Cause of our Righteousness? |
A29752 | How 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? |
A29752 | How far then is he active? |
A29752 | How is the Drooping, Sincking, Dead and discouraged Soul, that hath any sense or feeling of this, revived& quickened? |
A29752 | How many fig- leaves do they sowe together, that they may cover the shame of their nakedness withall? |
A29752 | How many subterfuges finde they out, under which they think to shelter themselves from the wrath of God? |
A29752 | How oft is the word Hop put for its object, for the thing hoped for? |
A29752 | How oft is the word Law taken for obedience to the Law? |
A29752 | How proveth he this? |
A29752 | How shall then the new Covenant of Grace be distinguished in specie from the Covenant of Works, made with Adam? |
A29752 | How then was it an Absolute Price? |
A29752 | How 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? |
A29752 | How 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? |
A29752 | How unreasonable is it, that such should have right to the Merites, that have no right to the thing Merited? |
A29752 | How will all this shine forth unto them with a heavenly Lustre and Majestie? |
A29752 | If Christ Intercede not for the same persons, for whom he died, we ask for whom he Intercedeth? |
A29752 | If Justification be continued upon Condition of works, we enquire what these works are? |
A29752 | If 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? |
A29752 | If a pledge, or hostage, suffer for those he standeth for, may not he be said to suffer in their Law- person? |
A29752 | If he did not undergoe the very punishment; that was due to us, because of sin? |
A29752 | If he died for all the rest of the sinnes of the Reprobat, and of the whole world, why not for that also? |
A29752 | If he had meaned Faith, had not that been his own Righteousness? |
A29752 | If it be enquired, whence doth this proceed? |
A29752 | If it be no Righteousn ● ss, why do they falsly say, that we must cast away our Righteousness? |
A29752 | If it be not purchased by Christ, how come we by it? |
A29752 | If it be thus, how could he then say before, that faith was the principal part of the Condition? |
A29752 | If it was to have an Effect, what was that? |
A29752 | If not, how can it be called a justification? |
A29752 | If not, why are not all these ends attained, in all, for whom he died? |
A29752 | If so, I enquire, what is that Righteousness? |
A29752 | If 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? |
A29752 | If this were understood of Sanctification, why are these words added, who walk not after the flesh, bue after the Spirit? |
A29752 | If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities; ô Lord, who shall stand? |
A29752 | If yea, why doth he adde works more than Paul doth? |
A29752 | Is Faith a mean to it self? |
A29752 | Is God Reconciled to all, when many perish under his wrath, for ever? |
A29752 | Is He at peace with them, and should they have jealous thoughts of him? |
A29752 | Is He reconciled unto them, and should they carry, as keeping up some grudge against Him? |
A29752 | Is Regeneration only brought about by assistance? |
A29752 | Is a meer possible Redemption to be called an eternal Redemption? |
A29752 | Is all the world purified& made zealous of good works? |
A29752 | Is all this a Common thing, and a meer may be, or Possibility? |
A29752 | Is it because the matter is there too clearly hold forth? |
A29752 | Is it for actuall beleevers? |
A29752 | Is it in this, that we say, Remission of sin; is, at most, but part of justification? |
A29752 | Is it in this, that we say, a man may be forgiven, and yet not reputed one, who never broke the Law? |
A29752 | Is it not also hence undeniable, that hereby there is a proportion acknowledged, in some sort, betwixt Faith& the Reward? |
A29752 | Is it not sick of the same discemper of weakness with other graces? |
A29752 | Is it the Righteousness of Christ? |
A29752 | Is it the Righteousness of men themselves? |
A29752 | Is it the Righteousness of our own works? |
A29752 | Is it the same with a remote right? |
A29752 | Is it to be feared that that one shall not serve two? |
A29752 | Is not final unbeleef a dead work? |
A29752 | Is not gratitude an end required in the Law of Innocency? |
A29752 | Is not our Faith called our owne? |
A29752 | Is not that beleeving made our Righteousness,& thereby declared to be no less meritorious, than Adam''s perfect Obedience would have been? |
A29752 | Is not the man purely passive, in the receiving of the effect of that creating act, or in the work of Regeneration? |
A29752 | Is not this to be understood, in respect of their own personal deeds& works? |
A29752 | Is that the single Act of faith? |
A29752 | Is there any other that will do our business? |
A29752 | Is there any third competitour here imaginable? |
A29752 | Is this a meer Possibility? |
A29752 | Is this any conformity to a Law, in whole, or in part? |
A29752 | Is this consonant to justice? |
A29752 | Is this the meaning thereof, that Christ''s sufferings hath merited a Righteousness to us? |
A29752 | Is this the same with jus in re, as opposed to jus ad rem? |
A29752 | Is works the same with conceite of merite, or with works having this conceite adjointed? |
A29752 | It is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth? |
A29752 | It is excluded by what Law? |
A29752 | It must be that, sure, the contrary whereof is inconsistent with a Justified state: and what can this be, but a total Apostasie? |
A29752 | It were saifer then, in my apprehension, to enquire how or what way is this State& Relation continued? |
A29752 | Iustification is by Faith, what this Faith is? |
A29752 | Knoweth not Mr. Baxter that some can turn the grace of God into lasciviousness? |
A29752 | May it serve him, that we speak, as Paul did? |
A29752 | May we not pray for Faith; and can we pray for any thing,& not in Christ''s name? |
A29752 | Meaneth he nothing but their observance of the Ceremonial Law? |
A29752 | Moreover as to that Condition, whether did Christ purchase it, or not? |
A29752 | Moreover, how could Faith be said to be through Faith? |
A29752 | Much 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? |
A29752 | Must there not be many lives in this one? |
A29752 | Must therefore the mountains be removed for them? |
A29752 | Must we thus ascribe such intentions to God, as must hang upon mans will,& be subordinate thereunto? |
A29752 | Must we thus, on so small occasions, plead so stoutly for man,& pretend to plead for God too? |
A29752 | My Brethren, how think ye to mingle the Law with the Gospel? |
A29752 | Nay, how little of this whole matter of Justification is expressed to us, without Trops& figures? |
A29752 | Need they, who are dead, no more but Assistance? |
A29752 | Nor is the Question, whether Repentance be a Condition of the Covenant, or not? |
A29752 | Nor 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? |
A29752 | Not of works; why? |
A29752 | Not so: can not God pardon sin upon a valuable Merite,& Satisfaction of a Mediator? |
A29752 | Now is he an actual King, and shall have none but potential Subjects? |
A29752 | Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? |
A29752 | Now to him, that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt? |
A29752 | Now, how will Mr. Baxter prove that the suffering of the Idem, is only, when it is supplicium ipsius delinquentis? |
A29752 | Now, who seeth not, that the Imputation of a perfect righteousness hath other strength& vertue, then that hath which is personal& Imperfect? |
A29752 | Nunquid justitias meas? |
A29752 | Nunquid verendum, ne non una duobus sufficiat? |
A29752 | Object is, How can God accept him, as just, who is really& reputedly a sinner? |
A29752 | Of works? |
A29752 | One mans sin hath wrought death unto all,& shall the Righteousness of one restore life only to one? |
A29752 | One thing I would ask: How Mr. Baxter came to know, that such, as he opposeth here, were proudly conceited of their own goodness? |
A29752 | Or can it be demonstrated, that they carry this express sense any where? |
A29752 | Or doth not the Father keep condition? |
A29752 | Or had he it so, and for such an end, as none might possibly be the better thereof? |
A29752 | Or 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? |
A29752 | Or is all this meer may be, which may not be? |
A29752 | Or is faith according to no Law? |
A29752 | Or is it in corrupt mans power to Beleeve or Repent? |
A29752 | Or is the meaning this, That through Christ''s merites& sufferings, we have a Righteousness, which is meritorious? |
A29752 | Or that God hath Conditional Intentions& Designes? |
A29752 | Or that he could, or did account any of his works such? |
A29752 | Or that he would do the most for them, For whom he would not do the least? |
A29752 | Or 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? |
A29752 | Or was it to have an uncertaine End& effect? |
A29752 | Or was this purchased equally for all? |
A29752 | Or what was purchased thereby? |
A29752 | Or where is its pertinency to our purpose? |
A29752 | Or 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? |
A29752 | Pet, 1: 3? |
A29752 | Quid enim aliud peccata nostra potuit tegere, quam ejus justitia? |
A29752 | Quid namque ex se agere poterat, ut semel amissam justitiam recuperaret homo, servus peccati, vinctus diaboli? |
A29752 | Shall Adam''s sin be imputed unto me,& shall not Christ''s Righteousness belong unto me? |
A29752 | Shall Christ be beholden to mans good will for the purchase he made, at so dear a rate? |
A29752 | Shall God''s Righteousness be more powerfull to condemne, than to restore? |
A29752 | Shall Paul''s directing our thoughts to Christ beleeved in, exclude works, and Iames''s directing our thoughts the same way include them? |
A29752 | Shall he be a King without a Kingdom? |
A29752 | Shall not the curse, or a part of the curse, separat from the Love of God, and of Christ? |
A29752 | Shall not they then be beholden to Christ, only in part? |
A29752 | Shall one imperfect Act of obedience be of more value, than the Full and perfect obedience of Christ? |
A29752 | Shall tribulation, or persecution, or distress, or famine, or nakedness, or perill, or sword? |
A29752 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A29752 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A29752 | Shall we have so meane& low an account of the ordinances& appointments of God, in reference to spiritual ends? |
A29752 | Shall 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? |
A29752 | Shall we imagine, that God designeth good to persons, who shall never enjoy it? |
A29752 | Shall we impute such jejune& insipide expressions to Paul, or rather to the Spirit of God speaking in& by Paul? |
A29752 | Shall we sin, that grace may abound? |
A29752 | Shall we suppose, that all this was about an Uncertane Bargane? |
A29752 | Shall we then say, that therefore his death was not to make Satisfaction for the sins of his own? |
A29752 | Shall 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? |
A29752 | Shall we think that he would lay down his life in vaine,& make no purchase thereby? |
A29752 | Shall we think, that Abraham that holy Patriarch& friend of God, did obey with any such conceite of intrinsick worth, in his obedience? |
A29752 | Shall we think, that Christ became sin, as well, or as much, for Iudas, as for Peter? |
A29752 | Shall 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? |
A29752 | Shall we think, that He redeemed all alike from the Curse of the Law? |
A29752 | Shall we think, that he was given& sent for a Saviour, and took upon him that title& relation, and notwithstanding no man might be saved? |
A29752 | Shall 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? |
A29752 | Shall we think, that the Righteous judge shall pronounce& declare him to be Righteous, who is not so? |
A29752 | Shall we thinks, that Christ might have died,& yet one man receive this Adoption? |
A29752 | Shasl not they be in part Satisfiers for themselves? |
A29752 | Should be one that justifieth the Ungodly? |
A29752 | Should not the thoughts of this raise their wondering,& cause them speak to the commendation of the rich and free grace of God? |
A29752 | Should not therefore such carry, as persons that can not be made miserable? |
A29752 | Should we give our first born for our transgression& the fruit of our body, for the sin of our Soul: What would that avail? |
A29752 | So that the question betwixt him and us, is, whether Christ and His obedience, or Faith of a far inferiour Nature, must have that honour? |
A29752 | That he did not make void the law through faith, but did establish it? |
A29752 | That none of us should ever be put to suffer the penalty? |
A29752 | That the Question is not, whether the doctrine of Papists about Repentance in order to Justification, be to be owned, in whole, or in part? |
A29752 | That this may be part of the meaning, may very easily be granted:& what then can hence follow? |
A29752 | The Question then, that we have to discuss, is, Upon what termes& Conditions is this State continued? |
A29752 | The question is not, whether we should have good in us, or not? |
A29752 | Then He hath merited, that our works shall merite justification;& why not also glorification? |
A29752 | Then we ask a Scripture ground for this restriction? |
A29752 | Therefore& c. Who seeth not now, how false the Major propositions is;& how impertinent& ridiculous the probation thereof is? |
A29752 | They will not say, it is unto Salvation, but to Faith: But did not Christ know, that this call would not be obeyed by them? |
A29752 | This consequence, I grant, is good; but what is it to the point in hand? |
A29752 | This is a life, the Good, the Advantage, the Joy, the Comfort, the Peace of which, who can express? |
A29752 | This is but a Continuance of the same cheat: for it is no part of the question, whether the Saints should be vilified, or honoured? |
A29752 | This 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? |
A29752 | This is very true: But what then? |
A29752 | To say this, is to speak plaine non- sense: for what is that to furnish a man with a Righteousness out of the Law? |
A29752 | To what end did Christ give himself for his Church? |
A29752 | True, but what then? |
A29752 | True; what then? |
A29752 | Unius peccatum omnibus operatum est mortem,& unius justitia uni vi ● am restituet? |
A29752 | Unus peccavit& omnes tenentur rei,& unius innocentia soli reputabitur uni? |
A29752 | Was Christ made sin, or a sacrifice for sin, that all the world might possibly be made the Righteousness of God in him? |
A29752 | Was Christ made sin, that the imperfect grace of faith might be made a compleet Righteousness& become our compleet Righteousness? |
A29752 | Was Christ so prodigal of his blood, as to cast it away, for such as were irrecoverably gone? |
A29752 | Was He not by the Law of Mediation bound as well to give obedience to the Law, as to suffer the penalty? |
A29752 | Was He not exemplary to us in His death& Sufferings? |
A29752 | Was He not made under the Law, as well as under the Curse? |
A29752 | Was he infected with that leaven of Pharisaical pride? |
A29752 | Was he then occupied about Sacrifices? |
A29752 | Was it a meer Power& Liberty, that should never have any Effect? |
A29752 | Was it certanely to save some? |
A29752 | Was it not a Rule of life& justification to Adam, in the state of Innocency? |
A29752 | Was it only to make a new Transaction with man, in order to his salvation? |
A29752 | Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered his Son upon the altar? |
A29752 | Was not absolute perfection in Christ''s holy Obedience? |
A29752 | Was not his satisfaction full& compleat? |
A29752 | Was not the Apostles scope& desire, to win Christ? |
A29752 | Was not the Humane Nature personally united unto the Godhead, from the very first moment of conception? |
A29752 | Was this Adoption purchased upon an uncertain Condition? |
A29752 | Was this end,& fruit left at an Uncertanty? |
A29752 | Was this fulness for a meer Possible effect? |
A29752 | We are justified by faith? |
A29752 | We are justified by our works done after Regeneration; therefore we may continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A29752 | We assert no liberty for man: but why should not this liberty be allowed to the Supream God? |
A29752 | Were it not lost laboure for any to enquire, what is the Matter& Forme of this legal Righteousness of Onesimus? |
A29752 | What 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? |
A29752 | What a miserable case then are persons in, who will not submit unto this way? |
A29752 | What answere giveth he? |
A29752 | What can sinners invent, that can once be compared here- with? |
A29752 | What could this contribute to prove, that there was now no condemnation to such, as were in Christ Jesus, among the Gentiles? |
A29752 | What did or could Pelagius say more? |
A29752 | What efficacy hath it, seing notwithstanding thereof, all may perish againe? |
A29752 | What excepteth Mr. Goodwine? |
A29752 | What fellowship hath Righteousness with unrighteousness? |
A29752 | What great things of justification could, I pray, Paul''s expressions cause any passe over? |
A29752 | What is his reason? |
A29752 | What is that Righteousness, which faith compasseth, and the Law sought after, and could not attaine? |
A29752 | What is the Condition of our ● ustification by this Righteousness of Christ, whether faith only, or works also? |
A29752 | What is the Lord''s Way, Methode& Manner, how& by which he preserveth his own, in that State of Justification? |
A29752 | What is this? |
A29752 | What maketh all this to the purpose? |
A29752 | What meaneth Mr. Baxter by these jewish observations? |
A29752 | What more? |
A29752 | What more? |

A29752 | What more? |
A29752 | What more? |
A29752 | What next? |
A29752 | What next? |
A29752 | What poor shifts are these, which men take to support a desperat cause? |
A29752 | What probable ground is there for this imagination? |
A29752 | What reason is, or can be given for the one, which will not hold for the other? |
A29752 | What saith Mr. Baxtor to it? |
A29752 | What saith he moreover? |
A29752 | What saith he to this answere? |
A29752 | What saith he to this? |
A29752 | What saith he we answere hereunto? |
A29752 | What saith he, to make out this alleiged Confusion? |
A29752 | What shall our Adversary now do with faith? |
A29752 | What shall we do to be saved? |
A29752 | What shall we say then? |
A29752 | What then can be meant by the weakness of Moses''s writtings? |
A29752 | What then saith he& his? |
A29752 | What then? |
A29752 | What then? |
A29752 | What was the end obtained for the rest? |
A29752 | What would he hence conclude? |
A29752 | When a Cavilling jew shall object, how can the world be saved by the Rectitude, or Obedience of one Christ? |
A29752 | When a man is punished with death, according to the Law, is he ipso facto presently& perfectly delivered? |
A29752 | When he saith, That Christ suffered in our stead, I would know, in whose stead it was? |
A29752 | When men say( saith he) that faith justifieth, I demand, what is it, they meane by faith? |
A29752 | When the Lord made him to be sin for us, was it only in part? |
A29752 | Where he teacheth that this faith, including works& all obedience, is the only meane of justification? |
A29752 | Where is boasting then? |
A29752 | Where is boasting- then? |
A29752 | Where is now the Confusion Mr. Baxter spoke of? |
A29752 | Where is then the agreement? |
A29752 | Wherefore? |
A29752 | Wherefore? |
A29752 | Wherein standeth this righteousness& justification? |
A29752 | Whereof is it constitute? |
A29752 | Whether a meritorious Righseousness, or a formal Righteousness( as he distinguishad) or both? |
A29752 | Whether is it Christ''s Righteousness imputed to us,& made ours; or is it our Faith that becometh meritorious? |
A29752 | Whether it was in the stead of some select persons, or in stead of all? |
A29752 | Which is wonderfull; where, I pray, must the confusion lye? |
A29752 | Which of them all, I pray, hath only this force? |
A29752 | Who can reconcile this seeming Contradiction, that is not acquanted with the glorious mystery of the Gospel? |
A29752 | Who can say either of these? |
A29752 | Who 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? |
A29752 | Who ever thought, or said, that a pardoned Thiefe or Murderer was a Righteous man? |
A29752 | Who seeth not, how little ground there is for such an imagination? |
A29752 | Who shall then separat such from the love of Christ? |
A29752 | Why are not some of these great things mentioned? |
A29752 | Why did God set forth Christ to be a propitiation? |
A29752 | Why do we then condemne the Pelagians? |
A29752 | Why doth he alwayes oppose Faith unto works,& say, we are justified by faith without the deeds of the Law? |
A29752 | Why should any then, for whom he gave that satisfaction, be liable to Punishment? |
A29752 | Why should obedience here be thus restricked to the Law of Mediation? |
A29752 | Why so? |
A29752 | Why then is all this trouble made? |
A29752 | Why 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? |
A29752 | Why? |
A29752 | Will it therefore follow, that He died not, to make Satisfaction to justice, for the sinnes of His people? |
A29752 | Will not Mr. Baxter grant, that faith is the Condition of our justification by this Righteousness? |
A29752 | Would Justification by Christs obedience give ground of boasting? |
A29752 | Yea, are not the given ones clearly distinguished from the rest? |
A29752 | Yet what doth Mr. Baxter gain? |
A29752 | ],[ Holland? |
A29752 | alius qui peccatorem constituit, alius qui justificat a peccato? |
A29752 | and did He not represent and stand in the room of sinners, as their Political Head& Representative? |
A29752 | and how can this be, that the greatest effect of this greatest love shall be common to all,& smaller effects not common also? |
A29752 | and how it is wrought? |
A29752 | and how very far remote must that Right be( if it be at all) which the Reprobat have? |
A29752 | and is faith the same with works, or with works without this conceite of merite? |
A29752 | and that all this love should be outed; and possibly not one man saved? |
A29752 | and was that all that Christ obtained? |
A29752 | and what hand mans labours and endeavours have in the infusion of the new Principle, the Divine Nature? |
A29752 | and why was it more Absolute as to that, than as to other things? |
A29752 | are we not possessed of right to the reward, and being righteous, are we not free of our sin? |
A29752 | are we therefore agreed with them in judgment? |
A29752 | aut plus potutt Adam in malo, quàm Christus in bono? |
A29752 | betwixt simply sinners, and formally sinners ▪ And what can he meane by formally sinners? |
A29752 | but another person? |
A29752 | can the pardon of murther, or of any prohibited act, make that act conforme to the Law? |
A29752 | could this be true, if no man had been saved? |
A29752 | do they not meane their beleeving of act or faith? |
A29752 | doth Christ redeem all the world from all iniquity? |
A29752 | doth any jote or title of the Law countenance the Imputation of faith, for a proportionable Righteousness? |
A29752 | doth faith answere every jote, title, point and letter of the Law? |
A29752 | doth he not direct our thoughts to Christ beleeved in? |
A29752 | doth not righteousness denote the conformity of actions unto the law? |
A29752 | doth the law hold forth any Righteousness, but perfect obedience? |
A29752 | f. 11. what is that to beleeve in his name? |
A29752 | how 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? |
A29752 | how can they be said to be Redeemed from the Curse of the Law? |
A29752 | how should Christ''s death be our life, if we gote not life thereby? |
A29752 | i. 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? |
A29752 | i. e. Shall I make mention of my Righteousness? |
A29752 | i. e. for what else could cover out sins, but his( i. e. Christ''s) Righteousness? |
A29752 | if Christ died for the sinnes of all persons, how cometh it that they are not all actually pardoned? |
A29752 | if in nothing, then Man must certanely have a great share of the glory: if it was Absolute as to any thing, what was that? |
A29752 | in quo alio nos iniqui& impii pro justis haberi possumus, quam in solo Dei filio? |
A29752 | in whom else, could we, who are naked& ungodly, be accounted for Righteous persons? |
A29752 | is it a Righteousness perperly so called? |
A29752 | is it a thing in our Power, and an act of our owne Free Will? |
A29752 | make manifest; where it is said( in answere to that Question, How doth faith justifie a sinner in the sight of God?) |
A29752 | may not the righteousness of the law be made over to them by faith? |
A29752 | might one say: doth not this quite take away all Remission? |
A29752 | must it not be the Righteousness of Him, whom faith goeth out unto& laith hold on, in order to justification? |
A29752 | no, by the law of faith? |
A29752 | of works? |
A29752 | or all that is required of justified persons by way of duty? |
A29752 | or are there no more Provocations or diseases? |
A29752 | or by which we are justified as the proper Righteousness of that Law? |
A29752 | or can a man have any Righteousness, prescribed by a Law, but by thoughts, words,& deeds, bearing a conformity to the commands of the Law? |
A29752 | or can not these two be conceived as two things formally distinct, though inseparable? |
A29752 | or did Christ only become a Curse, in reference to the breaches of that? |
A29752 | or how can meer Sufferings, as such, or bearing of the punishment threatened by the law, be called a righteousness? |
A29752 | or how could they be said to be chosen in Him, before the foundation of the world? |
A29752 | or how could they be said to be weak through the flesh? |
A29752 | or is it only meaned potentially, that is, that it might be possible, that we should not suffer? |
A29752 | or shall they not all actually be pardoned in due time? |
A29752 | or that Abraham indeed did so? |
A29752 | or that Christ died for all, or for any, Conditionally? |
A29752 | or that any in these daies were pleading for justification, upon the account only of such works? |
A29752 | or that his pardon made him formally Rightheous, and an observer of the law? |
A29752 | or that only such would make the reward of debt? |
A29752 | or that such were Abraham''s works? |
A29752 | or that such works were to be understood by the Law, as if the Law did command no other? |
A29752 | or was he afterward to act without dependance upon, or influence from God, the first Cause? |
A29752 | or what can be the true causes hereof? |
A29752 | or what communion hath light with darkness? |
A29752 | or what ground was there to feare, that Christ''s honour should have been wronged thereby? |
A29752 | or what is it, which the Lord requireth in order thereunto? |
A29752 | or what is required on our part, in order thereunto? |
A29752 | or what is that in Christ, that faith specially eyeth, and carrieth the soul out unto, when Justification before God is only designed? |
A29752 | or where in was it, that he beleeved God? |
A29752 | or whether any thing more be required of us for continueing this Relation than was at first required to the making of it? |
A29752 | or who can conceive what an heaven lyeth wrapped up here? |
A29752 | shall we therefore say, That there was no satisfaction for sins intended thereby? |
A29752 | shall we therefore think, that the Lord, whose judgment is according to truth, shall account any Righteous, who have no righteousness? |
A29752 | than only in the Son of God? |
A29752 | that is, that possibly not one person might be made the Righteousness of God in him? |
A29752 | that nothing can with truth, and in sufficient propriety of speech, be called a Righteousness but what is a conformity to the Law of God? |
A29752 | the Law never threatned a Surety: nor granteth any liberty of substitution: that was an act of God above the Law? |
A29752 | the Righteousness of Christ with your own? |
A29752 | then to enquire? |
A29752 | to Sufferings and death) for our offences, and raised againe for our justification? |
A29752 | was Christ''s death Absolute in no respect; or was it, as to some things, I mean, belonging to Grace& Glory, Absolute? |
A29752 | was he not, according to that Covenant, where in he stood, to purchase the good promised by his doing? |
A29752 | was it only a Possible Call of all, Justice bein satisfied? |
A29752 | was the Lord in Christ reconcileing the world unto himself, not imputing only part of their trespasses to them? |
A29752 | were these part of the Conditions of the Covenant of works? |
A29752 | what Ends, or what Advantages can we imagine of such an Universal Redemption? |
A29752 | what Scripture tels us, that Christ was sen to die, that he might obtain this Power unto God? |
A29752 | what a bundle of Mercies of life is here? |
A29752 | what a life is here, to stand thus related unto the great God? |
A29752 | what an unsearchable mystery of Love and free grace shineth forth here? |
A29752 | what are the Conditions of Not- loseing this State? |
A29752 | what condescension of Love and free Grace is clearly legible in this business? |
A29752 | what could be the designe of Father& Son in this? |
A29752 | what ground can be given for such fictions? |
A29752 | what ground is there to think, that he was called to remove that objection here againe? |
A29752 | what ground of Confidence or of Certainty, can the Arminian& Socinian way, followed by the formentioned Author, give to a poor soul? |
A29752 | what saith Mr. Baxter to this? |
A29752 | when he saith, that our first constitutive justification, is in its( own Nature, a right to Impunity,& to life, or glory? |
A29752 | where are then the Infused Habites? |
A29752 | where is then the difference? |
A29752 | where saith the Scripture, that if we beleeve, Christ died for us? |
A29752 | whether was Paul''s satisfaction the Efficient, or Constitutive cause of Onesimus his Innocency, or non- guiltiness, and the like? |
A29752 | who can dream thus, that God''s intentions& designes should be so loose& frustrable,& that God should be so uncertain in his purposes? |
A29752 | will it satisfie him, that we found the necessity of Imputation of Christ''s Righteoufness on the same ground? |
A29752 | will say to me, in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
A29752 | would not every one smile at such Non- sense? |
A29752 | your 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? |
A40370 | A 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? |
A40370 | Again, by the obedience of one many are righteous? |
A40370 | Again, if you ask, what manner of Faith that is? |
A40370 | And I deny it not: But what Conclusion flows from this manner of Arguing? |
A40370 | And after all these things do you yet boast of your merits, as if the reward of the Everlasting state were due to your Labours? |
A40370 | And again in the same place discoursing of the Salvation of Christians: Do you ask how a man is Saved? |
A40370 | And do you, who are so great an extoller of righteousness, against all righteousness tear honest and innocent men in pieces with false accusations? |
A40370 | And does Faith nothing but prepare us for Righteousness? |
A40370 | And does any in this life hope to attain unto that, which Paul with all his endeavours, was not able to attain unto? |
A40370 | And he shall bear their iniquities,& c. For how did he bear them, if they remain yet tobe born by us? |
A40370 | And if Works are excluded, what can be a more undoubted Truth, than that we are justified by Faith only? |
A40370 | And if they are said to be compelled to come in, where is the free will of the Tridentines? |
A40370 | And now by what Scriptures will they demonstrate that? |
A40370 | And now by what confirmation do you prove this? |
A40370 | And now so many and great things being done by Faith, let us enquire, After what manner it does them? |
A40370 | And now then this remains to be searched into; What it is that reconciles sinners to God, and restores them to his favour? |
A40370 | And now what Merits did they bring with them, that they should be so Honourably Entertained? |
A40370 | And now what then will those Scribes and Disputers of this World answer here? |
A40370 | And now what will become of those, who being Iust Men fall seven times a Day, and yet rise up again? |
A40370 | And now what will they answer to this Argument of Augustin? |
A40370 | And now, what then if those are added? |
A40370 | And presently again repeating the same: But who in this Life is without some sin? |
A40370 | And should we translate our Faith, which we owe to God with faithful Abraham unto men that are Sophisters? |
A40370 | And 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? |
A40370 | And then whether it is internal, and inherent, being inwardly placed, or whether it should be called external? |
A40370 | And then, how they please, of themselves, or upon the account of Faith? |
A40370 | And therefore, ye also your selves admit many Words into your Confession of Faith, of which the Scripture makes no mention? |
A40370 | And think you that your Vertues are such that they will overcome at this Iudgment Seat, when they are Iudged? |
A40370 | And what Doctrine is more excellent, than to know Christ the Son of God aright, and the power of his Death, and Resurrection? |
A40370 | And what Gospel is it, that we have received by the preaching of Paul? |
A40370 | And what absurdity is it then for us to profess that we are justified by Faith only? |
A40370 | And what are our Wounds, say they, but Sin? |
A40370 | And what did that first and chiefest sinner deserve to receive? |
A40370 | And what doth your Logical reasoning gather thence? |
A40370 | And what else do those Men, who reject the Apostle''s Doctrine, and hearken to such as teach contrary thereunto? |
A40370 | And what will they then say to these words of Paul, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Iesus Christ? |
A40370 | And what will you answer Paul the Apostle, who denies that grace is any more grace, if men deal with God by Works? |
A40370 | And what will you say to Augustin, who esteems all the Righteousness of this life as dung? |
A40370 | And when? |
A40370 | And where be those remarkable exceptive and exclusive Particles, whereby our Salvation is wholly cut off from Works, and ascribed unto Imputation? |
A40370 | And where then is that Merit de Gongruo and condigno? |
A40370 | And where then is that excellent integrity of Life? |
A40370 | And 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? |
A40370 | And where then is the agreement of similitude between Christ and Adam? |
A40370 | And 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? |
A40370 | And who will boast that he is pure from his Sin? |
A40370 | And why before men, and not before God? |
A40370 | And why could he not by Prayers, obtain this same infusion from his most bountiful Father, when he was present here? |
A40370 | And why doth he not as well say, the reward of Righteousness is Eternal Life? |
A40370 | And why should his Works displease? |
A40370 | And why was her Love to the Lord more vehement? |
A40370 | And will your envy shut up that from us, which he hath opened? |
A40370 | And would not rather have punished him if he had not done them? |
A40370 | And yet Paul denies that these Works, though excellent in themselves, availed any thing before God, in respect either of glorying or of Iustification? |
A40370 | And yet must Canisius thrust the godly down as low as the ungodly, to render a strict account of all the transactions of their Lives? |
A40370 | And yet who among you so Administers his Office, that nothing is wanting to him, in the Catalogue of all these Vertues? |
A40370 | And 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? |
A40370 | And, will the Tridentine Councellours remonstrate against this; that Man''s Salvation consists only in the Favour of God? |
A40370 | Answer ingenuously, are you silent? |
A40370 | Are none saved but those that by a due imitation attain unto the most Holy Vertues of Christ? |
A40370 | Are not pious works the gifts of God? |
A40370 | Are not these also remunerated with plentiful fruits of Righteousness, and heaped up with manifold Rewards in the Gospel? |
A40370 | Are then all the promises of God referred to this? |
A40370 | Are there no Merits then, say they, of the Righteous? |
A40370 | Are they not those that believe in Christ himself? |
A40370 | As touching the scope of this Epistle, how greatly is campian mistaken? |
A40370 | Axiom of his? |
A40370 | BUT Now by what other thing then will they say that we are justified, if we obtain it not by the favour of God only? |
A40370 | BUT You may say, Is Faith alone here? |
A40370 | BUT you will say, to what purpose then is it to repent, and to amend evil deeds? |
A40370 | BUT you will say, what, is it not an excellent thing? |
A40370 | Be it so indeed, yet in this same race how unhappily do we oftiems run? |
A40370 | Be it so, and you on the contrary refer all to the works of the Law, which of you two is worthiest to be accused? |
A40370 | Because he was not willing who by nature is Charity it self? |
A40370 | Because the Israelites were more in number: I suppose it was not so: was it because they were stronger? |
A40370 | Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the Sins of the World? |
A40370 | But I ask, what was it that stirred you up to do it? |
A40370 | But I ask, wherefore doth Faith justifie before God? |
A40370 | But 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? |
A40370 | But again, who can be ignorant, that this is no cause in him, why he should receive the Inheritance? |
A40370 | But by what Authority of the Gospel do you confirm those things, which you assert? |
A40370 | But contraryways, Israel that followed after the Righteousness of the Law, attained not thereunto: Wherefore? |
A40370 | But 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? |
A40370 | But for what purpose doth he bestow both? |
A40370 | But have ye not also at any time read in the Epistles of Paul, these forms of speaking, Christ is our Righteousness? |
A40370 | But here again there arises an Objection out of Iohn; Whosoever is born of God can not sin,& c. And what is concluded from hence? |
A40370 | But how did he obtain this Promise, by Faith, or by Works? |
A40370 | But how is it consumed? |
A40370 | But how is nature purged, if yet the contagion of sin remains? |
A40370 | But how, say you, is Sin taken out of the World, If the Corruption of Sin yet does reign in the Saints? |
A40370 | But if a believer gives his Christian Brother so much as a Cup of cold Water in his necessity, shall he lack his Reward? |
A40370 | But if he fall, where then is the Righteousness of Works? |
A40370 | But if he took it away, where is then the condemnation due to Sinners? |
A40370 | But if it be asked how, and in what order the Death of Christ effects this? |
A40370 | But if otherways, Where then is your Righteousness, whereof you boast? |
A40370 | But if they are righteous and not sinners, whom Christ helps: What need have the Righteous of a Redeemer? |
A40370 | But 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? |
A40370 | But if you ask how in this Flesh? |
A40370 | But if you ask, how? |
A40370 | But if you ask, what are the the effects of this cause? |
A40370 | But if you ask, what way? |
A40370 | But if you would know by what marks you distinguish between a true Faith, and that which is counterfeit? |
A40370 | But let us proceed; Wherefore were so many and so great offences forgiven her, but for her Faith, which guided her Love? |
A40370 | But let us see what manner of Sinners they are, whom Faith Iustifies: Is it the Rebellious, and Impenitent? |
A40370 | But now being endued with the gift of Charity, what will you obtain by that? |
A40370 | But now how will you teach that? |
A40370 | But now what Arguments do they rely upon in disputing thus? |
A40370 | But now what if we can not exactly follow the footsteps of his holiness? |
A40370 | But now what way are we justified? |
A40370 | But now where is then that righteousness which Christ hath purchased for us? |
A40370 | But now, do you your self perform all these things, which you require in us for the perfection of righteousness? |
A40370 | But now, what way does it prepare? |
A40370 | But our Opinions differ concerning those things, which are called causes on Man''s part; to wit, whether there is one cause only or more? |
A40370 | But pray how dead? |
A40370 | But proceed; what follows after? |
A40370 | But suppose it be so, as Christ then objected to the Pharisees: Did not Moses give you the Law,& c? |
A40370 | But suppose that good works are joyned with Faith, which give evidence to men that it is a lively Faith: Will Faith justifie thee? |
A40370 | But 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? |
A40370 | But 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? |
A40370 | But that he may have all the glory to his own free Grace, and no place for glorying left for Human endeavours, and merits? |
A40370 | But that works Wrath? |
A40370 | But the causes of evils are sins, which if they are taken away by Christ, how can they remain in the Saints? |
A40370 | But there is added in the definition, by the remission of Sin, and what does this help their cause? |
A40370 | But what a Connexion is this? |
A40370 | But what consequence is that? |
A40370 | But what do you drive at in all these florid expressions? |
A40370 | But what does all this make against Iustification by Faith? |
A40370 | But what else is our Iustification, but blessedness? |
A40370 | But what follows from hence? |
A40370 | But what hindered? |
A40370 | But what if having observed all other commands of God exactly, so much as one tittle of the Law is neglected by thee? |
A40370 | But what if some other that was no Member of Christ, whether Heathen or Turk had need of your Meat? |
A40370 | But what is coming to Christ, but believing in him according to the saying of Augustin? |
A40370 | But what is it to see him, but to believe in him? |
A40370 | But what is this Gospel of Christ, that he commands to be Preached? |
A40370 | But what other thing does this adding of Redemption signifie, but the Remission of all Sins? |
A40370 | But what saith he of the Righteousness that is of Faith? |
A40370 | But what says Vega and Hosius the enemy of Paul? |
A40370 | But 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? |
A40370 | But what then? |
A40370 | But what way is it firm, if it is of Works upon any account? |
A40370 | But what, say they, are not the pious works of Charity acceptable to God, being so many ways prescribed unto us, and commanded by him? |
A40370 | But what, shall we affirm that those men also are by these things made acceptable to God? |
A40370 | But what? |
A40370 | But when the highest Lord shall sit on the Throne, who will boast that he hath a clean Heart? |
A40370 | But where and how was he thus justified? |
A40370 | But where shall we find this Righteousness? |
A40370 | But where will they find those righteous men, that dare profess themselves free from all guilt of sin? |
A40370 | But wherefore do I so much enlarge upon this matter? |
A40370 | But who hath required these things at your Hands? |
A40370 | But why did they give him Vinegar? |
A40370 | But why do I take up my time in rehearsing the Names of Men, or reckoning their approbations? |
A40370 | But why should I prosecute this matter any further? |
A40370 | But you may object? |
A40370 | But 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? |
A40370 | But you may say, What, doth not Mercy promised in Christ go before the vocation of Faith? |
A40370 | But you may say, what then? |
A40370 | But you may say, where then? |
A40370 | But you may say: Are not Works that are performed in Charity, for the relief of the Poor, pleasing and acceptable to God? |
A40370 | But you will say, Shall we not all come to Iudgment? |
A40370 | But, you will say, what then, is there no Righteousness which belongs to men? |
A40370 | By the Law? |
A40370 | By the works of the Law? |
A40370 | By what Author, by what Witness, by what Doctor, by what Testimony, or Example, do you prove this to be true, which you Preach? |
A40370 | By what Logick then have these Sophisters learned to make a definite and particular Proposition of that which is Indefinite and Universal? |
A40370 | Call the Poor, saith he, and the Lame, and the Blind, and compel them to come in, that my House may be filled? |
A40370 | Can the giving of Meat and Drink by any such without Faith merit Eternal Life? |
A40370 | Can you not be perswaded to believe the Truth, which hath been so often and so perspicuously demonstrated by so great a Master as Paul? |
A40370 | Certainly 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? |
A40370 | Christ Iustifies Sinners, but what Sinners? |
A40370 | Christ commands the Gospel to be Preached to every Creature: Will ye forbid it, though many abuse the Gospel? |
A40370 | Dangers, Terrours, Miseries, weariness besiege you on every side, Who gives you help? |
A40370 | Dare you deny what he affirms? |
A40370 | Did he not believe; being instructed by the Holy Scriptures, in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth? |
A40370 | Did he not receive Christ as a Prophet? |
A40370 | Did not he also love the Lord? |
A40370 | Did not the Apostle Iames assert with great Authority, That Abraham was justified by Works? |
A40370 | Did the worth of his Oblation procure him this favour? |
A40370 | Did they not abound in the VVorks of Grace? |
A40370 | Did you then feed Christ, when he was an hungred? |
A40370 | Do none dye, but they that Sin after the Example of Adam? |
A40370 | Do not the Pious Works of the Saints please God? |
A40370 | Do the Merits of Christ profit nothing to Salvation? |
A40370 | Do they contribute nothing towards Righteousness? |
A40370 | Do they help nothing towards the obtaining of Righteousness? |
A40370 | Do you hear that Salvation is simply promised to Believers; and that it consists of nothing else but Faith, and that Sacrament of Faith? |
A40370 | Do you not see that you are tyed on every side with Bonds that are Apostolick and wholly of Adamant? |
A40370 | Do 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 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A40370 | Do you praise the undaunted confidence of Abraham, and do you dispraise ours? |
A40370 | Do you so place all righteousness in works, that you think there is no righteousness of Faith? |
A40370 | Does Luther either say or teach any other thing? |
A40370 | Does any Man take away due praise and dignity from those? |
A40370 | Does this attribution seem internal to you, or rather external? |
A40370 | Dost thou deny Grace to be a Vertue? |
A40370 | Doth Christ the Bride- groom forsake his Bride? |
A40370 | Doth it perform perfect Obedience? |
A40370 | Doth it then perform imperfect Obedience? |
A40370 | Doth not this Faith only in the Person of the Son of God make us partakers of the promise? |
A40370 | Doth not this Faith only justifie before God? |
A40370 | First, who is so Ignorant, but knows what we received from both our Parents, of which you dispute so prolixly? |
A40370 | For 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? |
A40370 | For how can Hope avoid being uncertain, if Salvation must be hoped for by Works, and not by free Donation? |
A40370 | For how can it be, that that everlasting Law should not hate sin and wickedness with the greatest abhorrency? |
A40370 | For how shall he only have the praise of that thing, as saith Hierom, which he hath common to himself with many? |
A40370 | For otherwise, to what purpose did Christ dye, if he died not for sins and sinners? |
A40370 | For otherwise, what will they answer the Prophet, or how can they interpret his Words, where he commands to eat without Money and without Price? |
A40370 | For 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? |
A40370 | For to what purpose should God promise by his Word, if he would not have us assured of those things which are promised? |
A40370 | For what can they do more agreeably? |
A40370 | For what encouragement is there for Hope, when the Mind is restless through fear, and all thingsly at an uncertainty? |
A40370 | For what greater injury can be done to the Scriptures of God? |
A40370 | For what ignorance is this? |
A40370 | For 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? |
A40370 | For what is more excellent than righteousness in the whole nature of Divine and Humane things? |
A40370 | For what is more joyful, or suitable to Mirth than a Marriage- feast? |
A40370 | For what is more sure than the Promises of God? |
A40370 | For what manner of consequence is this? |
A40370 | For what need had he of the promised Seed and a Redeemer, if already he had been righteous by Works? |
A40370 | For what need is there of any Satisfaction or Repentance, when you have committed no Sin? |
A40370 | For what place is there for repentance, where nothing is committed contrary to duty? |
A40370 | For what says the Scripture? |
A40370 | For what things can more fiercely encounter than such an opposition as this, Christ is our Righteousness? |
A40370 | For what think you, Sir? |
A40370 | For who hath thanked a Servant, as the Gospel Witnesses for the Service, which he owed to his Master after he did his Commands? |
A40370 | For who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s Elect? |
A40370 | For, 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? |
A40370 | Hath he not engaged himself by an inviolable Covenant that he would pardon our Sins? |
A40370 | He hath promised indeed, I confess, but how? |
A40370 | He is righteous, therefore he is endued with righteousness; Such a man is learned, therefore he hath learning? |
A40370 | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? |
A40370 | He that walks being Cloathed with Christ, What can be wanting to him, unto all Glory and Beauty of Righteousness? |
A40370 | He 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? |
A40370 | Hierom, 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? |
A40370 | How evidently doth it hence appear, what we should answer to this Argument? |
A40370 | How holily doth M. Cicero write of Offices? |
A40370 | How many ways do we fall, how blind and traversed a way do we often go? |
A40370 | How 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? |
A40370 | How often do we stumble? |
A40370 | How shall these things, so contrary to one another, agree together? |
A40370 | How then of works of our righteousness? |
A40370 | How was he made sin and a curse for us, if we yet fall under the Curse? |
A40370 | How wickedly did they murmur against their Leaders, and so provoked the anger of God against themselves? |
A40370 | How, say you, for all? |
A40370 | I beseech you? |
A40370 | I do not deny it, but this I ask what manner of promises hath repentance in the Old Law? |
A40370 | I hear what you say, but what do you infer from this? |
A40370 | I hear you; and what follows? |
A40370 | I pray you what is more evident? |
A40370 | I pray you, what is the meaning of these words, by the disobedience of one many are sinners? |
A40370 | I say, suppose we grant this to be true, what follows from hence? |
A40370 | I see that you return, and I praise it, but to whom is this praise due? |
A40370 | I suppose you will not: What way then was he made sin? |
A40370 | I trow not: And what remedy then will you shew them? |
A40370 | If Example should be taken from Christ, I pray you, what doth the Divine Father and Creator commend more unto us? |
A40370 | If a gift, where then is Merit? |
A40370 | If he hath iniquity, upon what account is he called holy? |
A40370 | If he is a Saint, saith he, how doth he pray for the pardon of sin? |
A40370 | If he is just, how shall he be called unjust? |
A40370 | If he overcome, where is the Truth of Scripture, in which it is said, God only overcomes, when he is judged? |
A40370 | If he was a sinner, how then was he righteous by works? |
A40370 | If his Life it self every way perfect with all purity of the greatest Vertues, what more admirable? |
A40370 | If it be the Righteousness of Works? |
A40370 | If it is Christs, it is not ours? |
A40370 | If it is ours, it is not Christs: how is a man of wicked made righteous? |
A40370 | If it is ours, upon what account then do those Gymnosophists Preach that it belongs not to us? |
A40370 | If it was ours, how was it ours, but by external imputation? |
A40370 | If of wicked he is made righteous, that I may speak in the words of Augustine, what are the works of wicked men? |
A40370 | If so be all our Iustification is perfected by Charity? |
A40370 | If 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? |
A40370 | If the Woman that was a Sinner, by her love mericed( as they speak) Iustification, What shall we say of the Pharisee? |
A40370 | If the greatness of his benefits, what more Divine? |
A40370 | If the procurement of another, hath brought you to death, may not also the procurement of another, restore you to life again? |
A40370 | If the righteous, what need is there now of Iustification or Faith, when the Law is sufficient? |
A40370 | If the wicked, whether those that are penitent and converted, or the impenitent and rebellious? |
A40370 | If they judge so, I ask whether it is a moral vertue, or a theological? |
A40370 | If 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? |
A40370 | If those things be true, which your prayers declare, how is not your Doctrine false? |
A40370 | If we are found Naked in our Reception into Glory, where then is that second Iustification( made up) of good Works? |
A40370 | If we consider his Works, what was more glorious and wonderful? |
A40370 | If we look upon his Faith, what was more sincere? |
A40370 | If you answer an eternal, I would then know what difference there will be between Legal and Evangelical Promises? |
A40370 | If you ask, saith he, whether there are no Merits of the Righteous? |
A40370 | If you ask; how? |
A40370 | If 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? |
A40370 | In 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? |
A40370 | In like manner the Seed to come was promised to miserable Adam: To what purpose? |
A40370 | In those come to years, if all sins are so extinguished, that no relicks remain, what need is there of any conversion? |
A40370 | In what flesh? |
A40370 | In what times hath the love( if not of all, at least of most Men) waxed so cold? |
A40370 | Inherent Righteousness doth not justifie the unrighteous; for if he be ungodly, how is he just? |
A40370 | Is Faith nothing? |
A40370 | Is Grace nothing? |
A40370 | Is it not he only, for whose sake only Salvation is promised to Believers? |
A40370 | Is it not joyned together with Love and Repentance? |
A40370 | Is it so indeed that this was not heard of since the beginning of the World? |
A40370 | Is not Faith in Christ the Mediatour as singular a gift of God; and does it not proceed from the Election of Divine Grace? |
A40370 | Is not he the Lamb that takes away the sins of the World? |
A40370 | Is not he the Life- giving Serpent, who gives cure for our wounds? |
A40370 | Is not the free Promise of God a most true cause on which our whole Iustification depends? |
A40370 | Is the Mercy and Promise of God nothing? |
A40370 | Is there another way prepared for Salvation, but what is eontained in the Law of God? |
A40370 | Is there any other paved way to Salvation, but what is contained in the Law of God? |
A40370 | Is there no reward by way of Merit left in Heaven, which Christ promises to be so plentiful in the Scriptures? |
A40370 | Is this any society with Iesus? |
A40370 | It was verily a great Miracle of Victory, but whence happened this Victory? |
A40370 | Let us here compare other kinds of Offices: Who knows not, that a Son and Heir ought of necessity to be dutiful to his Father? |
A40370 | Luther indeed did write of Faith, I know, and confess it, but what then? |
A40370 | May we not enjoy the bounty of another, because we have no ability of our own? |
A40370 | Moreover Paul writing to the Corintbians, says, Know ye not that the Saints shall judge the World? |
A40370 | Moreover 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? |
A40370 | Moreover seeing the Promises of God are most sure, may not the same be safely and constantly trusted in? |
A40370 | Moreover the whole sink of things formerly done, will be all at once laid open; What will the miserable Sinner say here? |
A40370 | Moreover what that is, which is properly signified in the Scriptures by the word Iustification? |
A40370 | Moreover where are all those sweet Promises, if those Men rob us of the Assurance of Salvation and God''s Imputation? |
A40370 | Moreover 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? |
A40370 | Moreover, 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? |
A40370 | Moreover, what is that, when the Publican in the Gospel is said to have gone to his house justified rather than the Pharisee? |
A40370 | Moreover, where is that opposition mentioned by Paul between the Righteousness of the Law and of Faith? |
A40370 | Moreover, whether it hath the promises of Eternal Life annexed unto it? |
A40370 | Must we be thus saved, O Osorius, in keeping God''s Commands? |
A40370 | Must we not all appear before the Tribunal of God? |
A40370 | Must we not give credit to those things, which are promised by God? |
A40370 | Neither was that the cause: What, did they then excell all the other Nations in Vertues? |
A40370 | No concupisence of the eyes defiles the purity of your mind? |
A40370 | No perturbation of affections throws you down from your state of constancy? |
A40370 | No, By Imputation then? |
A40370 | Not at all in the very Nature of the Persons? |
A40370 | Not of Man that willeth or runneth? |
A40370 | Now he believing in the Father, and receiving the Son with Affectionate Love, What could be wanting to him, that was necessary to Iustification? |
A40370 | Now if the forgiveness of our Iniquities is sufficient to blessedness, is it not also sufficient to Iustification? |
A40370 | Now then Catholick Reader, receive a conclusion, Roman Catholick enough? |
A40370 | Now then wherein will this Righteousness of yours differ from that Pharisee in the Parable of the Gospel? |
A40370 | Now what Turning, what Hole to escape at can you find? |
A40370 | Now what an Argument is that, that a thing can be which hath not been? |
A40370 | O Death where is thy Sting? |
A40370 | O Saint Paul, What Ignorance was this in thee, or unskilfulness of Speech? |
A40370 | O good friend? |
A40370 | O thou of little Faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? |
A40370 | On the contrary, they that detract the promise of Eternal Life from the Christian Faith, Shall they be accounted Friends to Grace? |
A40370 | Only by being propagated from Adam, we perish: And why are we not as well saved by being born again from Christ? |
A40370 | Or after what manner, by what Instrument, by what hands must he be received, but Faith only? |
A40370 | Or because he was not able, who is in Majesty Omnipotent? |
A40370 | Or 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? |
A40370 | Or does that Iesuitical Rule rather lye, which judges those alive by reason of their inherent qualities, whom the Scripture calls dead? |
A40370 | Or how are all things in Heaven and in Earth reconciled by the blood of his Cross, as Paul witnesseth? |
A40370 | Or how should he absolve, unless he be received? |
A40370 | Or if he do it, how, for what cause, and in what manner he does it, by Faith, or by Works? |
A40370 | Or is his grace lessened, that he is unwilling or unable to help his Servants? |
A40370 | Or its co- operation? |
A40370 | Or shall we say there was some other thing that made his person acceptable to God, before he had any regard to his Sacrifice? |
A40370 | Or what Reason have they to confine that unto a particular Case, which Paul speaks of Works in the general? |
A40370 | Or what will they answer to Augustine, who evidently confutes what they maintain? |
A40370 | Or whether there is some condition? |
A40370 | Or who should suppose them worthy to be believed, who contradict in their Temples, that which they dispute for in their Schools? |
A40370 | Or why should the Works of a Christian please, unless it were for Faith? |
A40370 | Or, shall any Man by the merits of his Life attain to be a Son, who is by nature a Servant? |
A40370 | Paul says, Without Works Man is justified: Will you then dare to plead for Iustification by Works in Opposition to the Apostle? |
A40370 | Paul the Apostle taught the same before Luther: What will Osorius say to me here? |
A40370 | Pious Reader, what Testimonies of greater Authority dost thou look for? |
A40370 | Right, but who are they, whom you call by the name of Iust? |
A40370 | Say you so? |
A40370 | Seeing 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? |
A40370 | Shall Alam be more powerful to infect Nature, than Christ to cleanse it? |
A40370 | Shall not Christ have a free power permitted to him of administring his own affairs, as in his own lawful Common- wealth? |
A40370 | Shall we believe Aristotle more than Paul? |
A40370 | Should not the same Works having proceeded from God himself the Author, be referred to his bounty and mercy Why not? |
A40370 | So that now there is nothing which reconciles us to God, but the righteousness of works? |
A40370 | Suppose 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? |
A40370 | Suppose we grant all contained in this Argument, what will these Roman Iusticiaries infer from thence? |
A40370 | Than which what could be said or invented more repugnant to the Gospel? |
A40370 | Than which, what can be more absurd? |
A40370 | That every one that seeth the Son, and believes in him: He that believeth in me shall never Die: Do ye believe in God? |
A40370 | That every one who seeth him may not perish, but have eternal Life? |
A40370 | That is, where he would place this State of Righteousness? |
A40370 | That no Lust draws you aside from your duty? |
A40370 | That there is no hope of Righteousness, no way of Salvation, no reconciliation for us, nor remission of Sins, unless the Law be kept? |
A40370 | That they know not Merits, and yet bring in no other thing but Merits to make Iustification perfect? |
A40370 | That was Piously done indeed? |
A40370 | That we might be made the Righteousness of God by him, saith the Apostle: Will you deny it? |
A40370 | That which is done by a Friend for the sake of a Friend, is it not just as if it had been done by himself? |
A40370 | The Lord himself shews the cause thereof: For, what need have the whole of the Physician? |
A40370 | The Scripture foreseeing that God would justifie the Gentiles by Faith, he first told the glad tydings to Abraham: and what glad tydings was this? |
A40370 | Therefore if it be asked concerning the Office of Iustification, What it is that reconciles us to God, and procures Eternal Life for us? |
A40370 | Therefore only Faith doth not justiste? |
A40370 | Those whom God Iustifies, who shall condemn? |
A40370 | Thus they say, What should I answer then, but that their Interpretation doth not agree with the Mind of the Author? |
A40370 | To the strength of your will, or to free mercy? |
A40370 | To what purpose then is that daily saying of the Church made mention of: Forgive us our debts? |
A40370 | To what will he fly? |
A40370 | To 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? |
A40370 | To whom? |
A40370 | Unless it be those that Glory in their own Righteousness, and not in the Mercy of the Iudge? |
A40370 | Unto these things so very evident and clear, what do the Adversaries object? |
A40370 | Upon what account will you obtain that? |
A40370 | VVHat then? |
A40370 | VVere they not partakers of the same Grace? |
A40370 | VVhat difference then is there between those VVorks, that are called VVorks of the Law, and those other that are called VVorks of Grace? |
A40370 | WHAT, say they, have you not at any time read that form of reasoning in Aristotle? |
A40370 | Was he justified by Works, of whom Paul says expresly, that he had no cause of glorying in his Works before God? |
A40370 | Was it because they obliged the Prophet Moses with kindnesses, whom rather they endeavoured to betray, by most unjust ways and complaints? |
A40370 | Was it want of Love, or was it not rather want of Faith in those unbelieving Pharisees? |
A40370 | Was 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? |
A40370 | We are made the righteousness of God by him? |
A40370 | Well said: But what then Sirs; do ye think that this is not sufficient to Establish a Man in everlasting Felicity? |
A40370 | Well, and what do these Mountains of Gilboa bring forth unto us? |
A40370 | Well, and what next? |
A40370 | Were we not all healed by his stripes? |
A40370 | What Faith that is, and of what sort it is, which is said to justifie? |
A40370 | What Law can hold them guilty, that are not under the Law, but under Grace? |
A40370 | What a contradiction is this of the Divines? |
A40370 | What also will become of all those, concerning whom Iames speaking, saith, in many things we offend all? |
A40370 | What can any Man desire more for the security of Eternal Life? |
A40370 | What can any Man say more expresly? |
A40370 | What can be more plainly expressed? |
A40370 | What can be said more evident in signification, or more clear to be understood? |
A40370 | What can you answer me in this case? |
A40370 | What could the bounty of God have promised more firmly, or given more largely to any Man, though he had been most Holy? |
A40370 | What did David before he was anointed King, to deserve so great a dignity? |
A40370 | What did God do, but what flesh could not do? |
A40370 | What do I hear? |
A40370 | What do I hear? |
A40370 | What do the Works of the Iust Merit nothing in the sight of God? |
A40370 | What do you contemplate, I beseech you, in these, but the boundless and altogether Infinite greatness of Grace? |
A40370 | What do you say? |
A40370 | What does the Lord himself answer to such Servants in the Gospel? |
A40370 | What else doth Ioseph represent to us, but the sublime Son of God, dearly beloved of him? |
A40370 | What fault I pray you did he commit in so doing? |
A40370 | What good can your Platonick Philosophy do here? |
A40370 | What hath he deserved? |
A40370 | What have you, whereby you may defend this distributive Iustice? |
A40370 | What if imitation falter sometimes and stagger? |
A40370 | What if it seems good in the Eyes of Christ to communicate freely the glory of his Kingdom, to whom he will? |
A40370 | What if the Spirit of Christ influencing the Hearts of his own, stirs up the Holy Offices of Charity, and excellent motions to Piety? |
A40370 | What if the cause is enquired into, that makes us righteous before God? |
A40370 | What if the servency of charity, and the care of our most holy Religion, and the observance of Iustice becomes too remiss? |
A40370 | What if their manners are dissolute? |
A40370 | What is coming to Christ, but believing? |
A40370 | What is it to be eased or refreshed, but to be justified? |
A40370 | What is more Sublime than Nobility of Birth? |
A40370 | What is more boundless than Sublimity? |
A40370 | What is more clear than these words of the Apostle? |
A40370 | What is more contrary? |
A40370 | What is more evident than this distinction? |
A40370 | What is more excellent than the dignity of high degree? |
A40370 | What is more solid than this Argument of Paul? |
A40370 | What is more unlike? |
A40370 | What is signified here by Wine and Milk, but the glorious Mystery of our Iustification? |
A40370 | What is that, I beseech you, but Faith, to which properly the promise is made? |
A40370 | What is that, I pray you, to be made sin for us, but to undergo what was due to our Sins? |
A40370 | What is the cause? |
A40370 | What is the healing of Wounds but the puting away of Sins? |
A40370 | What is the knowledge of that righteous one, but the Faith of Christ, which Iustifies from sin? |
A40370 | What is the meaning of so many Advocates in Heaven, Patrons and Favourites, to obtain Mercy from God? |
A40370 | What is this else, but to thrust Christ down not only from his Office, but also from the Throne of his glory with a gigantick fury? |
A40370 | What is your Opinion concerning this? |
A40370 | What kind of intemperance? |
A40370 | What manner of promise is that? |
A40370 | What more agreeable? |
A40370 | What more differing from Righteousness? |
A40370 | What need have the whole of a Physician? |
A40370 | What need is there of better evidence? |
A40370 | What need is there of words to prove this? |
A40370 | What need is there of words? |
A40370 | What need is there to prove it? |
A40370 | What need then is there in a thing so evident, of so many by- ways of distinctions, and Labyrinths of perplexities? |
A40370 | What say you? |
A40370 | What say you? |
A40370 | What shall I say of Adam? |
A40370 | What shall I say of his Faith? |
A40370 | What shall we answer to God promising to us? |
A40370 | What shall we say then to these things? |
A40370 | What shall we say? |
A40370 | What shall we then say? |
A40370 | What shall we therefore place our whole Iustification in those gifts received from Christ? |
A40370 | What that 〈 ◊ 〉 wherein this our Iustification, whereof I speak, consists; in the Remission of sins only, or in the possession of Vertues? |
A40370 | What then do good Works avail? |
A40370 | What then have they to say for themselves? |
A40370 | What then, say they, are not such excellent performances of Works pleasing to God? |
A40370 | What then, say you, did God make a jest of the Law? |
A40370 | What then, say you, doth not Iustice make Men that live holily and justly in this World acceptable to God? |
A40370 | What then, says he he? |
A40370 | What then, shall the Serpent be more powerful in fixing his sting, than Christ in taking it out? |
A40370 | What then, you will say, Hath not the most gracious Father promised us his mercy? |
A40370 | What then, you will say, hath not God promised to the Penitent the pardon of their Sins? |
A40370 | What then? |
A40370 | What then? |
A40370 | What then? |
A40370 | What then? |
A40370 | What then? |
A40370 | What then? |
A40370 | What think you of Charity? |
A40370 | What will he bring? |
A40370 | What will our Vega say, what will he bring? |
A40370 | What will the Angelical Dogmatist answer here with his gloss? |
A40370 | What will thy Righteousness say to us in this Case? |
A40370 | What will you say to Isaiah, who says, it is as a menstruous cloth? |
A40370 | What will you say to Paul, who accounted it as loss? |
A40370 | What would you do in this case, good Friend? |
A40370 | What, and shall not we who are by nature unrighteous, in like manner be made Righteous before God by the same dispensation of mercy and imputation? |
A40370 | What, do these good Works nothing with God, which are performed by the influence of the most Holy Spirit? |
A40370 | What, hath your profession of God received this Gospel from the teachings of the Apostles, or from the opinion of Plato? |
A40370 | What, in propagating sin? |
A40370 | What, say they, doth not Christ heal us just as the Brazen Serpent healed the Wounds of those that were hurt? |
A40370 | What, say they? |
A40370 | What, will all that provision of inherent Righteousness avail us nothing towards Life? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | What? |
A40370 | Whence then is Faith said to be lively and not Dead, but from Works? |
A40370 | Where are the Mansions of the Everlasting Kingdom, which you assert are justly and deservedly given to holy and pure men? |
A40370 | Where are the Works of Supererogation that are above due? |
A40370 | Where 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? |
A40370 | Where is Charity''s meritorious efficacy to purchase Salvation? |
A40370 | Where is Faith accounted to Abraham for Righteousness? |
A40370 | Where is glorying in Works excluded? |
A40370 | Where is that Ascent into the Heavenly Kingdom, which is opened by the Merits of the greatest Vertues? |
A40370 | Where is that Righteousness of Works which reconciles us to God, and makes us like God? |
A40370 | Where is that Way, which is paved to Heaven for us with the excellent Merits of Works? |
A40370 | Where is that access to the Throne with boldness? |
A40370 | Where is that constant equity of reason, and moderation of mind free from all sin? |
A40370 | Where is that frequent singing of Praise in the Books of the Prophets? |
A40370 | Where is that grace, which the Sacraments confer upon us, ex opere oper ato? |
A40370 | Where is that way so straight, that Fools can not err therein? |
A40370 | Where then is similitude? |
A40370 | Where then is that peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, if no Man must be assured of the favour of God? |
A40370 | Where then is that real infusion of Vertues, as they call it? |
A40370 | Whereas the Law was given them by Moses, do we suppose that they were utterly separated from Divine grace? |
A40370 | Whereby hath Peace and Grace less flourished, and Iniquity more abounded in manners? |
A40370 | Wherefore did it please him to make mention of Redemption to his Disciples without naming of Iudgment? |
A40370 | Wherefore is it thus? |
A40370 | Wherefore then dost thou deceive us, O Luther? |
A40370 | Wherefore? |
A40370 | Wherein then? |
A40370 | Whether Faith only without Works, or Works joined together with Faith? |
A40370 | Whether 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? |
A40370 | Whether for keeping the Law? |
A40370 | Whether only relyance on Mercy justifies of it self? |
A40370 | Whether then shall we believe Christ, or you? |
A40370 | Whether through our fault, or the fault of another? |
A40370 | Whether was it Charity, setting Faith a work, or was it not rather Faith setting Charity a work? |
A40370 | Which also elsewhere inculcating more clearly, He says, not by works of Righteousness which we have done: How then? |
A40370 | Which comes nearest to Evangelical Doctrine? |
A40370 | Which if it be true, what other thing will those Men require, to make Iustification perfect? |
A40370 | Which 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? |
A40370 | Which things being granted, what can the Papists say against this Assertion, concerning justifying Faith? |
A40370 | Which 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? |
A40370 | Who are these Poor, and Blind, and Feeble, and Naked, but such as have no provision of their own Works? |
A40370 | Who dare arrogate to himself, saith he, that which Paul himself confesses he had not attained unto? |
A40370 | Who denies good Works, which Christ living and dwelling in us Works, to be good Works? |
A40370 | Who denies it? |
A40370 | Who denies or is Ignorant of that, O Osorius? |
A40370 | Who is ignorant of, or denies that? |
A40370 | Who then are those poor and needy, that are admitted to the Marriage? |
A40370 | Who was more zealous than Paul, in exalting the Righteousness of Faith? |
A40370 | Who would desire more or greater things? |
A40370 | Whom this Faith justifies? |
A40370 | Whose acts for us if we consider, what is more excellent? |
A40370 | Why did not the most gracious Father spare his Life? |
A40370 | Why do I use many words on this matter? |
A40370 | Why is he torn unjustly with punishments? |
A40370 | Why is the innocent beaten with stripes? |
A40370 | Why might not he as well write of Faith, as you of Righteousness? |
A40370 | Why not, as well as the unrighteousness of one Adam of old was sufficient to bring ruine upon all? |
A40370 | Why not, say you, when the Spirit of God helps? |
A40370 | Why should I answer these men in many words? |
A40370 | Why so I beseech you? |
A40370 | Why so, I beseech you? |
A40370 | Why so, Paul? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why so? |
A40370 | Why? |
A40370 | Why? |
A40370 | Will they distinguish Money in this place just as they distinguish Works? |
A40370 | Will ye forbid him? |
A40370 | Will you deny it? |
A40370 | Will you hear the Promise? |
A40370 | Will you say by committing it? |
A40370 | Will you send us to the Faith of Christ, or to the Sentence of the Law to heal our wounds? |
A40370 | Will you shut out those from all hope of pardon? |
A40370 | Would he have gone to him so Courteously, or invited him so lovingly? |
A40370 | Would you in your Charity have fed him? |
A40370 | Would you know, O Osorius? |
A40370 | YOU will say, What then? |
A40370 | Yea, how often and how grievously did they exasperate God with their sins? |
A40370 | Yea, were not the Patriarchs, Prophets, and many others of the Saints adorned with the same supernatural gifts? |
A40370 | Yea, what Nation was ever more perverse? |
A40370 | Yea, what if somewhere a defilement of sin creeps in, as infirmity may occasion? |
A40370 | Yea, who can come to Christ unless he first hear and understand, who he is from whom Salvation must be sought? |
A40370 | You Sin daily, Who forgives you? |
A40370 | You are assaulted by Temptations, but do not succumb, Who helps you? |
A40370 | You are perpetually in danger amongst so great a Multitude that perish; Who supports you? |
A40370 | You continue in the Faith, Who upholds you? |
A40370 | You have, Pious Reader, an Example of very Tragical Cruelty: Now receive the Catastrophe of the Tragedy: What? |
A40370 | You may say, to what purpose are these things? |
A40370 | You say, Believers, and in that you say well; but how, or believing in whom? |
A40370 | You say, we presently obtain the help of God, whereby we may most easily perform all things, that are commanded us,& c. Is it so? |
A40370 | You 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? |
A40370 | You will say, Why not? |

A40370 | for what, say they? |
A40370 | have ye not then, good men, read these words of the Apostle in the Holy Scriptures of God? |

A40370 | if he hath iniquity, how is he called holy? |
A40370 | if so be they are not darkned by a Sophistical Interpretation? |
A40370 | in such a manner, that there may be a Legality and Impunity for us to disobey the Will of his Father? |
A40370 | is it freely, if not without Works? |
A40370 | is it not a Pious thing? |

A40370 | must you not here of necessity be compelled to leave the Righteousness of the Law, and presently to appeal to the Righteousness of Christ? |
A40370 | neither is it a matter of doubt, whether the pious works of Christians are pleasing to God? |
A40370 | nor plucked up by the roots? |
A40370 | of 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? |

A40370 | or how did he dye for sins, if the punishment of sin remains to be suffered again by us? |
A40370 | or how is his strength said to be made perfect in weakness? |
A40370 | or of that, whereby you are commanded not to covet at all? |
