A31706Cur sensus mentesque Ducum rimatur,& effert ▪ Diserteque Anglos bellica multa docet?
A31706Did he not seek to save himself by flight, without your knowledge or privity?
A31706Did not he thrust you out, and expose you to all extremity of fortune?
A31706Do you doubt of their faith and constancy, because they came not by a day?
A31706Do you think they make them for exercise, or to passe away the time?
A31706Doth it offend you, that I transported the Army over in safety, without losse of any one ship?
A31706Et cum ille qui quaesierat dixisset, Quid foenerari?
A31706For Cur desp ● res nunc posse fieri, quod jam totie ● factum est?
A31706For do we doubt, but that the Romans, having begun so wickedly, will run presently upon us to take away our lives?
A31706For how small is the beauty which Nature hath given to the eye- pleasing Diamond, when it is not adorned with an artificiall form?
A31706For if every man should prescribe, who should obey?
A31706For the Romans, what is it they desire?
A31706For what greater violences in the State of Rome, then those concerning Tributes and Impositions?
A31706For what resemblance( say they) is between the customs of our times, and the actions of those antient Heroes?
A31706For what warre was like this?
A31706For why should the Hedui rather dispute of their customes and laws before Caesar, then the Romans come before the Hedui?
A31706For with what hope( saith he) can we assault a Camp so fortified, both by Nature and Art?
A31706Have ye not heard, that the Cohorts which are now at Brundusium, are made and raised of such as remained behind there to recover their healths?
A31706Have you not understood what Caesar hath done in Spain?
A31706Howbeit, Cato condemned all kind of usury: for, being demanded, Quid maxime in re familiari expediret?
A31706IF it be now demanded, Where was Caesar''s desire of Peace?
A31706If it be now demanded, as formerly it was, Quis furor, o Cives?
A31706In hanc rem jocatus est ipse; Ego, inquit, quenquam feram, qui vinum ferre non possum?
A31706Is the best man of Gallia( saith Tully) to be compared with the meanest Citizen of Rome?
A31706Or rather, what hath learning to do with a Roman Generall?
A31706Or shall a man forgo the benefit of a place of advantage, rather then he will relieve with industry the discommodity of some particular circumstance?
A31706Or what have we gained, if with great losse and damage, we shall go away and give it over?
A31706Or why should he put the matter to the hazard of Fortune?
A31706Quid dignum memorare tuis Hispania terris Vex humana valet?
A31706Quid hominem inquit occidere?
A31706Shall we take the meaning to be, that the first legion stood in front, and the other stood for succours behind?
A31706So he asked him, What is he that is dead, and buried there?
A31706That I drew two hundred Ships of burthen out of the Road and Port of the Enemy?
A31706That at my coming, I beat and dispersed at the first onset the whole fleet of the Adversaries?
A31706That twice, in two daies, I overcame them onely with the Cavalry?
A31706Ut jugule ● ● homines surgunt de nocte latrones: Non experg ● scer ● s, ut te ● psum serves?
A31706Valour or Craft, who cares which in a Foe?
A31706WHo, Edmonds, reads thy book, and doth not see What th''antique Souldiers were, the modern be?
A31706Was it Pompey''s Ambition, or Caesar''s high Thoughts, that bereft the State of liberty, with the losse of so many Romans?
A31706Were you not preserved and kept alive by Caesar''s clemency, when you were abandoned and betraied by him?
A31706What do the Romans then mean in these outward works?
A31706What else mean these new Tables, but that you shall buy a piece of ground with my money, and keep it to your self, whilst I go without my money?
A31706What fury''s this?
A31706What shall we be able to do in the wars, wanting the things that should give us strength and sustenance?
A31706What then is the cause that the Romans do overcome, and that those that do use the phalanx are voyd of the hope of victory?
A31706What then?
A31706What then?
A31706What then?
A31706What use or need have I( saith he) either of my life, or of the City, when I shall be thought to enjoy it by Caesar''s favour?
A31706Whereunto Cn: Piso replied; What place wilt thou take to declare thy self, Caesar?
A31706Who can this endure to see, But must a wanton glutton be, That Mamurra should have all Fetch''d from Britan and from Gall?
A31706Who looks at fraud or valour in a foe?
A31706Why should he lose any of his souldiers in battel, though he got the day?
A31706Why should he suffer his valiant and well- deserving souldiers, to be so much as hurt or wounded?
A31706Wilt not thou then arise to save thy self?
A31706and have brought them to that extremity, that they can be supplied by provision neither by sea nor by land?
A31706bene vestire: quid quartum?
A31706cur denique fortunam periclitaretur?
A31706cur vulnerari pateretur optime de se meritos milites?
A31706he replyed, What is it to kill a man?
A31706in subsidiis; Afranius his army was in a double battel; the fifth legion, and the third for succours?
A31706it is decem habere lectas quidem legiones populum Romanum, quae non ● olum vobis obsistere, sed etiam coelum diruere possent?
A31706or answerable to the report which was bruted of their valour?
A31706or contrariwise, who will blame a mercenary Pilot for making peace with death, with the losse of other mens merchandise?
A31706or what avail all these, where there wanteth an eye to admire it, a judgement to value it, and an heart to imbrace it?
A31706or what could he elsewhere expect of that which these refused him?
A31706or what did it attempt worthy such a multitude?
A31706or what good is in either of them, if the light do not illuminate it?
A31706or what perfection can the form give, without a foile to strengthen it?
A31706or what would they have?
A31706or why should he hazard his good fortune?
A31706or why should they despair either of their own prowesse, or of Caesars diligence?
A31706quae tanta licentia ferri?
A31706respondit, bene pascere: quid secundum?
A31706satis bene pascere: quid tertium?
A31706shall a souldier take every place as he findeth it, and use no Art to qualify the disadvantages thereof?
A31706shall this defence be generall, and not distinguished, but a confusion made of times past and his later actions?
A31706the answer is already made in the beginning of this?
A31706two Armies beaten; two Generalls defeated; two Provinces taken; and all within forty daies, after he came in view of the Enemy?
A31706what these licentious arms?
A31706why should he suffer those to be wounded who had deserved so highly at his hands?
A31706— Dolus an virtus quis in hoste requirit?
A31706— What noted thing in Spain can man commend?
A40443''t is noble to forgive him; Revenge would equal us, but Pardon makes me Superior; and besides, is it prudent to rub a Sore to keep it from healing?
A40443''t was one he took for me; he''s misinform''d of me; And, What shall I leave no room for his Misunderstanding?
A40443A Contentious Spirit is both Barbarous and Bruitish: What is the benefit of Humane Reason, unless in Humanity?
A40443ARe you suddenly to give Battel?
A40443ARt thou sorry, my Friend, that Christians have such Variances and different Ideas?
A40443Above all, Spyes are greatly to be feared; are they run- aways?
A40443After all, Have you worsted an unequal enemy?
A40443Am I Mad to dispute him when he is out of Humour?
A40443And are not Humanity and Contention contraries?
A40443And besides, do we expect an Universal Love?
A40443And ca n''t I rejoyce to be so soon with God?
A40443And can you expect then to set up a better Sect than some already are?
A40443And can you want Topicks?
A40443And have I not God and a brighter Crown of Martyrdom to support me?
A40443And how are we to gather it?
A40443And how are you sure that it does not move others as well as you?
A40443And if I attempt any such thing therefore of my self, can I expect either to fare better, or have other success?
A40443And if a Man would ask the Question, When a Wicked Man most resembles the Destroyer of of Mankind?
A40443And if so, What care can we take sufficient in our Censures and Reports?
A40443And indeed, what has made God let so many well designing Men be sacrificed in this case, but Presumption?
A40443And indeed, who but one besides himself, is so hardy as to engage, when he hath both the Wind of Passion, and the Tide of Inclination to oppose him?
A40443And is not this too true in the common Circumstances of Learning?
A40443And must a Man Starve, or Murther himself, because he has Sworn it?
A40443And so for your Voces abstractae, concretae, simplices, complexae: Why may not you as well add, finitae, relativae, and infinite others?
A40443And thus, indeed, what but our Pride makes us Miserable, and restlesly Ambitious?
A40443And to shut up all I have to reflect of this nature, I shall add, what has Logick to do with Definitions?
A40443And what are our Legendaries, our varnish''d Comparisons and Explanations, but a beggarly and tedious Tautology in a better dress?
A40443And what do I do otherwise, if I so much as Countenance every little Reasoning to be able Saucily to Disturb the State?
A40443And what does not this Lumber require a Digester then?
A40443And what shall we call this Art that leads us thus?
A40443And what your little set, and cramp Forms in them, but so many Mysteries and Blinds, to keep the Understanding from Truth?
A40443And what, shall we call these Poets Prophets then?
A40443And what, will not an Arbitration serve and save humane Blood?
A40443And who has requir''d these things at mine hand?
A40443And who is more apt for such an Injustice than a captious and idle Tale- bearer?
A40443And who suffers by our bringing the Sacred Deity into contempt?
A40443And why have we not the same Right of force on you also?
A40443And why may I not as justly quarrel at the Diseases of his Body, as the Imperfections of his Mind?
A40443And why may not he be as rough to me?
A40443And why may not we as well bring in the Metaphoricum, Ironicum, and an 100 more?
A40443And why not?
A40443And why then am I concern''d?
A40443And will we not give the Charity we can not but desire?
A40443And would you be so Sawcy, as to make the Noble favour and honour done you, only the occasion to Complement some little petty Courtier before him?
A40443And yet, Are your Conquests in different Languages?
A40443And, do you fear in such case such Disciplines being superficial?
A40443And, have I wrong''d my Neighbour?
A40443And, if''t is not his VVill, VVho shall support it?
A40443Are a few dispossest, do you obiect?
A40443Are all these fit for a Schollar to study?
A40443Are not Walking and Temperance wholsomer?
A40443Are not all our great slaughters made, when Men run away?
A40443Are not these endless and innumerable Trifles, and fitter for a Toy- shop, than a Wise Man''s Head?
A40443Are they Cowards?
A40443Are we not Men?
A40443Are we rich in grace?
A40443Are we the better for knowing or believing only?
A40443Are we to live and die to God, or to Fantome Honour, and Humour?
A40443Are you a private Man, and have receiv''d Mercy, through yielding up your Right?
A40443Are you enclin''d to compass him?
A40443Are you necessitated to Forreigners therfore?
A40443Art thou a King?
A40443As the Pirate notably answer''d Alexander the Great, What are great Conquests but great Robberies?
A40443At worst, is Honey the worse for being gather''d from many Flowers?
A40443Besides, Can any thing excel good Precepts?
A40443Besides, How many States have felt the Ruine of Auxiliary Forces?
A40443Besides, I have a fair System, says one, and a second sets up another, and so infinitely,& c. And pray what must the State do in this Matter?
A40443Besides, Is it not Cowardize, either to have Malice, or seek for Security through Vicious Means?
A40443Besides, can that be an Art for the use of life that would require even two Ages of us, if we had them to attain them?
A40443Books are the draughts of our Souls; and why then should we be less curious in the Pourtraictures of our Souls than our Bodies?
A40443But Oh, I love Fine Cloaths; And what am I not asham''d to be so like a Peacock?
A40443But above all, what infinite Lies and Fables our Poets, Ancient and Modern, have fill''d the world with?
A40443But are not all such Scoffers then taken deservedly as common Enemies?
A40443But are only my Merchants Injur''d, and by private Persons?
A40443But are the Besieg''d come to a Treaty?
A40443But are you beat?
A40443But are you resolv''d on a War, and in the mean time would blind your Enemy while you are preparing?
A40443But are your Forces equal?
A40443But can we say, that man is good, that does not wish and endeavour to be better?
A40443But does some Hen- roost Garrison withstand a Royal Army?
A40443But does the Siege proceed?
A40443But for Private Reformers, and Quacks in Religion, Who shall set any bounds to their Giddy Methods?
A40443But has my Brother, as I have said, injur''d me through inadvertency, or repents?
A40443But has your Enemy distressed you already in Stratagems?
A40443But how many set up the Hypocrisy of a formal Gravity, above all the Reasoning of Man?
A40443But if it is either, who shall call the State to account for what it does?
A40443But if you endeavour either by Might or Calumny to force them, may they not most justly ask?
A40443But is Wisdom to be despis''d, because others sculk through their Cunning?
A40443But is a Siege begun?
A40443But lastly, Are you so necessitated, and would you secure your Conquests by force?
A40443But my Brother is Cross and Perverse you say, and will unjustly contradict me; And what then?
A40443But now, Why do I stay?
A40443But shall I pardon out of necessity, or save a Murderer to cut my Throat?
A40443But shall we forgive no body that offends us, either through surprize or mistake?
A40443But to proceed, Would you secure a Conquest?
A40443But to proceed; Is your Army at leisure?
A40443But to turn the method of mine Argument a little: Am I not presumptuous to go before God sends me?
A40443But where is all this while then our real improvement of Wisdom?
A40443But where shall we end the further Whimsies of Predictions?
A40443But why do I stay so long upon Particulars?
A40443But why should I Court thee thus with Apologies?
A40443But why?
A40443But will not all this please you neither?
A40443But you say, your Zeal to God moves you; Does it so?
A40443But you will Object then, What, is it never lawful to Reform Publickly, but when the State will give you leave?
A40443But, Are you to Raise an Army?
A40443But, Do I seem too Pert, or Pragmatical in what I Write, in pretending so Confidently to Instruct our Seniors and Masters?
A40443But, Does a General find his Prince jealous of him?
A40443But, Does a Prince see the Army hate their General?
A40443But, besides these greater Evils, How many may I add, spend their time about Words, and never dive into Sense?
A40443Can a little whifling Treatise command Respect?
A40443Can an Harrangue make you good; and why not the Precept in short?
A40443Can he move a foot beyond Providence?
A40443Can not human Frailty bear this?
A40443Can such shuffling appear otherwise than ridiculous to any Man of sense?
A40443Can true Vertue be ever out of fashion?
A40443Can we be so mad to expect, or rely upon more certain Predictions of their own?
A40443Can we think, we shall not answer to God for it then, if we omit to improve our Reasoning?
A40443Can you make a Castle like a City?
A40443Can you reasonably expect to stop the stream, that you are not able to keep within its banks?
A40443Can you value your little private Opinions before the Publick Good?
A40443Charity will let me advise him, but not force him: But does my Brother Sacrifice his Children?
A40443Christ says, to call our Brother Fool Contentiously, is as Damnable as Murder; Can he that delights in Provocations be assur''d what will follow them?
A40443Contention either Infects us to a Likeness, or Cankers out our Spirit with Cowardize: What, all the day in Battel, and neither Fly nor Fight?
A40443Correction, tacebo?
A40443Could Experience ever shew us, that Souldiery did not destroy Property, and corrupt all Vertue?
A40443DOes my Brother Contradict me, he has as much right to it, as I to speak to him?
A40443Did you approach, by a gracious permission, the Presence of a King?
A40443Did you never err?
A40443Do I hazard the Peace in rebuking my Brother?
A40443Do not we every day, without thinking, commit a Thousand little faults against others?
A40443Do they not rather deserve an House of Correction, than a Reward for their Encouragement?
A40443Do they overwhelm you with their Number?
A40443Do we think, through Contention, to back every Wild Colt we meet with?
A40443Does Seneca wrangle with a Fool?
A40443Does he break his Word, or lay Countries waste causelesly?
A40443Does he intend to kill me?
A40443Does he torment me?
A40443Does mine Enemy overcome me?
A40443Does my Brother err?
A40443Does the Variety of Books offend you?
A40443Even so, when we treat with the Great God of Heaven, Is it decent to magnifie even Princes in his Presence?
A40443Fifthly, But you will say, What Security shall the Loser and Finder have, not to be wrong''d by the Office?
A40443For pray, how come you to judge so of Opinions?
A40443For why should we pall the edge and sense of what we intend to recommend?
A40443HAs my Brother offended me?
A40443Has a General leisure to consult Volumes for the result and occurrence of an hour?
A40443Has man leisure to peruse or pursue every current of Thought nicely?
A40443Have I Enemies?
A40443Have I Rivals?
A40443Have I misfortunes?
A40443Have you no Horse?
A40443Have you two Armies?
A40443How earnestly do some men seek Excuses to be corrupt?
A40443How easie is the Cure, by the Examination of Commissioners for Hundreds and Counties,& c. And, Do you want an Army?
A40443How far does Providence and its Free- Agents interrupt it?
A40443How great is the vanity, as well as the Impiety of these flatteries?
A40443How many please themselves rather with the slight imaginations and fancies of other than trouble themselves to look for truth?
A40443How many through a wild Banter and Paradox, content themselves in meer endless and giddy Extravagances?
A40443How quick does every Parish proportion you a Supply?
A40443I do not doubt but that there is such a Art as Astrology ▪ in some degree; But who is the Artist?
A40443I may add, How often are the Sense and Coherence of Men''s Words wrested, quite contrary to their Primitive Intention?
A40443I may add, What is Madness but such a Debauch of Thought, to a greater degree, and when an Idle Soliloquy disjoynts the whole Reasoning of the Man?
A40443I mean your little Model of Religion, or the State?
A40443I might add, Is the Right doubtful?
A40443I might add, to what end do we let such harsh words pass like current Coyn amongst us, if they have not perfect Ideas?
A40443I want to Coach and Dainties; And what then?
A40443If Anger is able to endanger our Quiet and Safety; What must Malice do?
A40443If this may be allow''d, who shall stint how high such Liberty may arise, and what Effects it may produce?
A40443If what an Author write be true, Why should I be Bug- beard from an opportunity of being wiser?
A40443In doubtful cases indeed, I''le obey my Prince; but shall he make a Man- Butcher of me?
A40443In short then, should I not be a Self- murderer to run my self into the fire?
A40443In short, Can I expect to prevent all Corruptions in my self?
A40443In short, when you are charitable to the poor, Do you expect they repay you?
A40443In truth, Is Vertue such a Trifle as to be sacrificed to Novelty and Curiosity?
A40443Indeed to theive meanly is ungenerous, and to follow Parties, corrupts all; or else is not my diligence in Collections to be preferr''d?
A40443Indeed, what good can a sinister, cunning, or Pedantry do us?
A40443Indeed, why should I tantalize my self so with Lusts, did I not love the Temptation?
A40443Interrogation, Sicoine fieri opportet?
A40443Is God obscure and mystical in his Prophesies, even to lead his Church its self?
A40443Is Revenge, either a Christian or Moral Apology, or is there not a just and modest Vindication of my self without it?
A40443Is any thing beyond their reach?
A40443Is he a Sodomite, or a Murderer, as Benjamin?
A40443Is he interrupting and violent?
A40443Is it agreeable to a well- ballanc''d temper and courage, and a due resolution, to make even desperate efforts of resentment for trifles?
A40443Is it in the inside?
A40443Is it little?
A40443Is not a good Author a Master of as great Charity as an Almoner?
A40443Is not what we call a moderate competency of Knowledge, now become almost even a work for our Lives?
A40443Is the VVorld Corrupt?
A40443Is your Adversary hot?
A40443Is your Ditch to Water, or Rock?
A40443Mark them with a C. and let them live to the Disgrace: Are they Treacherous?
A40443Meekness was the Perfection of Christ, and Peace is the very Attribute of God himself; and can any thing be wanting then to make them amiable?
A40443Must I presume, my honest Demands will create a War, and may not I wait till I am duly enabled to make them?
A40443Must none but Civit- Cats have leave to sh —?
A40443My Contention is in Revenge; And what then?
A40443Nay more; Is any one weak and foolish,''t is my positive duty to pity him, and, in Charity, where I can, to advise him, much more not to despise him?
A40443Nay more; were you sure you had even the Standard of Truth; yet ought you not to take this Liberty?
A40443Nay, Does even a Nest of Pirates reform to a Government, and our Treacherousest Enemy begin to leave his Perfidy?
A40443Nay, and besides, What is it that makes our Studies uneasie to us, but when we are thus careless in Examining their Circumstances?
A40443Nay, and if I undertake to reform Men, and know I can do it but Imperfectly, What do I do by it, but give Offence?
A40443Nay, and if this be the Law of Nature; Pray where is''t abolish''d?
A40443Nay, is not Wisdom the Unchangable Good of God himself?
A40443Nay, may be at last, even to resist the Government its self, on pretence of unlawful process against such Reasoning, and consequently to Anarchy?
A40443Nay, or can my despondency relieve me?
A40443Nay, or can we complete the usual Tables, much less an absolute Curses Mathematicus, in one managable Volume?
A40443Nay, speak from your Conscience, Do not you often vary even in your own thoughts, and with your self?
A40443Nay, what will the most excellent Understanding avail us, without agreeable Precepts, and those ready and at hand?
A40443No surely, I will have Mercy to the last: what shall I Condemn, where I am not sure that God does?
A40443No, surely: And, in truth, Can you justly desire it?
A40443Nor indeed is the Vice of such a seditious Practice worse than the Vanity of it: Am not I an unstable doubting thing my self?
A40443Of Treachery,& c. IS an Enemy Treacherous or extream Bloody in his Wars?
A40443Or do I want to see how he can Cross me, or I vex my self?
A40443Or how can the Husband break his Marriage- bond, by Divorce, as even Christ gives leave for Adultery, and be guiltless?
A40443Or if you can, Can you assure your self the benefit will exceed the Blood and Divisions that may be occasion''d by it?
A40443Or shall we ever esteem that as an helpful Speculation that must drown us in the Theory, before we can come to Practice?
A40443Or thy Guards, Garrison''d in Iron, repel bold fears and despair?
A40443Prithee Friend tell me; Can thy Gold or Purple keep out Diseases?
A40443Profess our selves Sheep for the slaughter?
A40443Prosopopeia, as Egone Sol luceo, ut vos dormientes altum stertetis?
A40443Saul among the Prophets, or a Man attending Business in Print?
A40443Shall a General abandon all Discipline, because his Parthian Foe fights flying?
A40443Should I say, I borrow nothing from no Man, Who could gain- say me?
A40443Should we value the Pictures for their insipid genteelness?
A40443So I can not but wonder too, what Intelligence, and of what Planet it was that taught us the Jurisdiction of Planetary Days and Hours?
A40443So also, are you forc''d to proceed by Sieges?
A40443So also, suppose that any man tell thee of such a Censure; what is it, but that a whisper is reveal''d to thee, and a giddy Report Published?
A40443So also, what Predicamental Distinctions we have got, as Quantitas Entitativa,& quantitativa?
A40443So further, What shall we say to the Ante- predicaments, the Equivocum, Vnivocum, Analogum, and Denominativum?
A40443So have you employ''d Informers to find out Secrets; and would you know whether they deceive you or not?
A40443So in Physiognomy, Who but one that had it from some Spirit, or Star- Intelligence, could be brought to think any useful or certain ground in it?
A40443So in Reading, Can you think that when you gallop over a good Author, you do not flatten him, and lose half his Life and Substance?
A40443So in Sciences also; What are your common little formal Analysses, wherewith they are Patch''d up, but Pedantry?
A40443So of Palmestry; How shall we reconcile the giddy and senseless contradictions and variations of Authors about it?
A40443So that Body of Knowledge that has puzzl''d whole Ages of the wisest, who is so weak as to arrogate the Masterdom of it alone in himself?
A40443So what need have we of the puzle of Contrary, Subcontrary, Subaltern, and Contradictory; is it not to maze us?
A40443So what shall I say to your Set- form of Words, the Seeve and Sheers, and your other Trifles and Gewgaws?
A40443So, Are you assaulted in a Wedge, to distract you?
A40443So, Do I see my Neighbour''s Subjects miserably distrest?
A40443So, Do you fear surprizes or ambushes?
A40443So, Do you think, in Humility, I ought to have forborn presuming thus?
A40443So, Does an Ignoramus present you with Mushrome Thoughts, and can not you lay them by?
A40443So, Does your Enemy Vow to be reveng''d on you?
A40443So, Is a War begun?
A40443So, Is mine Enemy perfidious?
A40443So, Is my Brother Ignorant, or an Heathen?
A40443So, Is there any one Wicked,''t is my duty to Reform him, and not harden him by Scoffing at him?
A40443So, Was your flight doubtful, and parted by Night?
A40443So, What are Pikes, or Muskets either, without defensive Arms, for Head, Breast, Arms, Thighs and Legs, with a Buckler?
A40443So, Would you make your Souldiers unanimous?
A40443So, does he stop you at a River?
A40443So, does he streighten you?
A40443So, how often are the best and fairest Actions represented even as Vices?
A40443So, is your Ditch in the out- side, and your Wall flat?
A40443So, is your War with a Trade- State?
A40443So, that shall I say of our Common Crosses and Charms?
A40443So, to encourage your Army, print sometimes a hearty Speech to your Souldiers, with the promise of Rewards; so do they dread your Enemy?
A40443Some admire Precepts; but why?
A40443Surely if our Brother is weak, we ought rather to pity him, than abuse him; nay, is he Perverse and Fallacious?
A40443Surely we need a Warrant from God, like Christ and his Apostles, as well as a bare Conviction of Consciences, to proceed thus far?
A40443Surely, a Body of Philosophy and an Army of Thoughts much more; nay, what is even a Library, but an undigested Rubbish, to pure and select Precepts?
A40443Surely, if e''re we take God''s Name in vain,''t is then; and when we rob the Divine Majesty of a suitable Reverence; But who has the loss by it?
A40443Surely, they forget King Phillips Monitor; Remember thou art a Man therefore, who can too easily engage themselves in War?
A40443THE common abusive Wit, what is it but the crude Digestion and Excrement of Reasoning?
A40443TO God alone belongs the Prerogative of Life and Death; and who art thou, who presumest to assume it?
A40443The Apostle could desire to be dissolved: And, Art thou, on the contrary, so unwilling, as to repine at the call of his Providence?
A40443The Man''s a false Proselyte that does not love Vertue for Vertues sake; and are long Examples then comparable to brief and wholsom Precepts?
A40443The best of such Enjoyments are casual, momentary, and disgusted by Conscience and Passions; But can any thing rob us of Vertue?
A40443The perfection of Vertue indeed, consists in the Uprightness of the Will; but what is the Will without an Understanding accordingly?
A40443The true Sincerity is good without a witness, and can love unfashionable Vertue?
A40443The true Sincerity never fails: Is it frail?
A40443Thus, Am I entred into a War, and am I like to engage with a stronger State?
A40443Thus, Are the Guns in the middle of their Battalions?
A40443Thus, Is my Merchant injur''d?
A40443Thus, Is your Army biggest?
A40443Thus, does your Enemy encompass you gather your self close and break through his weaker sides; does he press you between two Hills?
A40443Thus, if sometimes a Cap on a Staff be made the Signal of Battel, as well as the Sound of the Trumpet,& c. how can your Enemy measure your intentions?
A40443To Ridicule, to Droll, to Banter,& c. what, are all such Contentious Railleries, either to be commended or us''d for?
A40443To be short; Are you provoked?
A40443To be short; God has given us a Being, And shall we not value his kindness, by all the lawful ways of self- preservation?
A40443To conclude, Histories may teach us more and better Stratagems than these; But where shall we find them?
A40443To reform others perfectly, is as impossible as vain: What have we to do then, but to despise all little Capricious Humours, and to amend our selves?
A40443To shut up all; Are you offended that I write so little of Logick, and so much of Censure and Reputation?
A40443VVhen we Name therefore the Invisible, Infinite and Eternal Maker of all things, Is it suitable, even to Aggrandize the whole Earth in his Presence?
A40443VVhen we deliver his Truths, Is it suitable to any sence of Providence to crave the Protection of any Man on Earth for them?
A40443Was it nothing, that Moses was skill''d in all the Learning of the Aegyptians?
A40443What Man so vain, as to think to contract it in a Sheet?
A40443What a Scene''t is to see?
A40443What are the set- Bounds of influence?
A40443What avails it, as I have said, to have Volumes of Cautions one knows not where to find?
A40443What can I call a Talking Thing, when the truth and sincerity of it''s Judgment is gone, but a Parrot at best?
A40443What is Wisdom, if too long for use and recollection?
A40443What is a Name when we are dead?
A40443What is it but our common Plays and Poems that paint Vices for Vertues, and turn even the Devil to an Angel of Light?
A40443What is lost that occasional industry and necessity can not retrieve?
A40443What is my Opinion the better for bringing sententiously every Man''s Fancies to support what I Write?
A40443What is the shame of it?
A40443What is this but Pedantry?
A40443What remains then to Reconcile us, or preserve Peace, but Charity?
A40443What says the Scripture of Pious Frauds?
A40443What shall not a Man pay his Debts, because he has Vow''d he will not?
A40443What though mine Enemy Rage?
A40443What, can God order me to live by Miracle without express notice?
A40443What, now that I am as Gold in the Furnace to be tried, will I rather Rebel against his Will?
A40443Whatever others are, Can that excuse you of your invincible Christian Charity?
A40443Where shall we end the more noxious Methods of Deluding and Superstitious Theurgy, Devillish Geocy and Necromancy?
A40443Who can almost enumerate, much more think to peruse the infinite Volumes of Science?
A40443Whose fault is it that he is uneasie to me?
A40443Why do they shuffle so?
A40443Will it let us hold the Truth in Unrighteousness?
A40443Wilt thou be good therefore?
A40443Would God have chosen Moses, if his flight for being a Deliverer, had been Cowardize and not Duty?
A40443Would you delay a War?
A40443a courageable Enemy is better than a Bastard Friend: Think you ever to reconcile Good and Evil, or God and the Devil?
A40443an Hypocrisy is in all our Afflictions; we lament our dead Friend, But why?
A40443and are you well fortified?
A40443and how can I expect then that I, as the Blind, should be able to lead the Blind?
A40443and if you did, VVhat Assurance have you that you do not now?
A40443and should I not forfeit God''s Protection from Enthusiasm, to arrogate Spiritual Power, and to pretend to be a Guide where I am not?
A40443and so, when you are charitable to the Slandered, to the poor in Fame, must be return your Complement?
A40443and the dishonour to God and Alexander in such case?
A40443and thus is it not a shame, that an Hobbs should fright an University worse than a Monster?
A40443and to whom the whole Globe is but as a drop of the Bucket?
A40443and what, shall I cross Providence then, or destroy my self to reform Mankind, whether they will or no?
A40443and would you avoid mining?
A40443and, Why not the Devils also, who tremble with it?
A40443and, if not, Who shall sever the bad, without endangering the good?
A40443at least, may he not as justly resist so unjust an Imposition?
A40443because of the severity of the Inquisition in Popish Countreys, and of the Laws in Turky; but doth the danger then alter the obligation of Conscience?
A40443but he does it, you say, unjustly; And are you as assur''d that you do not as unjustly provoke him to it, by requiring too hard things of him?
A40443does not the same reason of things always continue?
A40443even a King ought to be a Father to his Subjects, and not a Slaughterer: but is that for Trifles, to drown them in Blood?
A40443fight in open field, and try to compass your enemy?
A40443he degrades his Philosophy by the equality of the Contention; But does Seneca advise, and is the Fool stubborn?
A40443he will do well to choose them a better: So, does a General see his Army jealous of him?
A40443how often are true Abilities and Merits supprest, lest their Lustre should eclipse the false Lights and Deceits of the World?
A40443if I can not, therefore before I hazard the mischief of a Change, let me consider to what degree of good I can expect to Reform?
A40443if false, Am not I a fool so to question the integrity or strength of my Reasoning?
A40443if not, Why is my Mind and Resolution chang''d?
A40443is not my Reason the same still?
A40443is the best of them agreeable either to Sense, Justice, or good Manners?
A40443make but a Trench behind you, and you may fight which half of him you please: does the other half come round upon you?
A40443modo?
A40443must their Blunderings make us paint nothing but Beauties, their Deformities make us deal in nothing but Angels?
A40443nay more, may not God be willing, that this Generation should have just such a Dispensation of Knowledge?
A40443nay, And can we otherwise then expect some time or other to meet with such Swine, as will turn again, and rent us?
A40443nay, Is there any Parity between Finite and Infinite?
A40443nay, Why am I not as angry at the imperfect variety of the Weather?
A40443nay, and are any more ridiculous than such, to men of sense, especially when they are unmasked, or as the Player, e''re he is in his Disguise?
A40443or am I so wretched as to think so of her?
A40443or can we not obtain a competent Idea in these things without our Leaders melancholly Schemes and Niceties?
A40443or if I am so proud as to think, I can, am I able to do it in my Followers?
A40443or is any thing more desirable?
A40443or was I ever so weak as not to expect Accidents?
A40443or what are Precepts good for, when scatter''d in Libraries?
A40443or what real value can one place on Reputation, when one considers the Inconstancy and Injustice of the World?
A40443or what think you, that God can not stir up Reformers where he sees good, without our presumption?
A40443or what, have you got a particular Warrant to shew us, That God has flung all the Care of the World on your Shoulders?
A40443or, if you are so ridiculous to think so, Is the State bound to believe you, and sit still while you Sowe your Seeds of Discord in her Bowels?
A40443pen them but in, and stop their Course, and you make them ruine themselves: But is such a State too powerful for you?
A40443thou art Griev''d to Dye so soon; And what art thou afraid to be with God?
A40443were it not to advance our Children and Posterity?
A40443were some Discourses but dissolv''d to their first Principles by Analysis, what would they contain too often?
A40443what are all our improvements without the grace of God, and sincerity?
A40443who want the Meekness and Patience of others more, who err more, and yet preserve the Peace less?
A40443why, and even my very Knowledge of its Corruption is uncertain: And how dare I then presume too freely to be its Reformer?
A40443will allay all their Emulation; while as for the close Reasonings of Precepts, can they ever fade?
A40443you see plainly, that if this Liberty of Zeal be allow''d, it must Destroy the State: The case then is, Which must stand, Religion or Government?
