A36187In removing such faithful Shepherds from their Flocks, and breaking down our defenced Cities, Iron Pillars, and Brazen- Walls?

A96610& c. How much more then ought the tares and foolish Virgins( while so appearing) be excluded?
A9661013. and some good thing might be found in some, as in Ieroboams child, and happily many others as in these our times?
A9661013?
A9661016?
A966102. trying if God may be pleased to give repentance?
A966102.?
A966103?
A966105. and Acts 15& c. Who, that puts this inference into Christs balance, but will see the lightness of it, thus?
A96610Againe, saith he, it may be the heretick was never a member of the church; how then shall the church do?
A96610Alas, what buildings can weak souls expect from such Master- builders, when Master Cotton is so confounded about the very foundations?
A96610All that is here said, is this, We look at it as more tolerable?
A96610And doo not these words[ for avoyding the grounds of your Errour] import so much?
A96610And if God hide from his, from any, who can discover?
A96610And if Master Cottons doctrine be true, why must not the Magistrate be sought unto, that a true Gospel be received and believed?
A96610And then what is become of the foundations of the Christian faith?
A96610And will Master Cotton say that Christ Iesus exalted himself above God, inspying out so great a mystery?
A96610And, what Excellent Physick can we prescribe to others, till our Soule( as Job said) come to be in their soules cases?
A96610Are all the Thousands of millions of millions of Consciences, at home and abroad, fuell onely for a prison, for a whip, for a stake, for a Gallowes?
A96610Are no Consciences to breath the Aire, but such as suit and sample his?
A96610Are the Armories of the true king Solomon Christ Jesus disarmed?
A96610BUt what knot in a Bulrush is that, which Master Cotton observes the discusser findes in his first distinction of persecution for cause of conscience?
A96610Beside, if known hypocrites may be suffered and not cast out, Why may not known hypocrites be taken in?
A96610Besides, are not those first foundations, which he saith concerne salvation, foundations also of the Christian Religion?
A96610But further( saith Master Cotton) it is not true, that Antichristians are to be let alone untill the end of the world, Why?
A96610But how falls an Antichristian or Apostate more directly under the stroake of the Civill Sword, then a Jew or Turke or Pagan?
A96610But how( sayth Mr Cotton) can an Act of morall righteousnesse be figurative?
A96610But is not this halting between God and Baal?
A96610But is not this the guise and profession of all that ever persecuted or hunted men for their Religion and conscience?
A96610But is there any such and professed tolleration of Antinomians, Presbyterians, Anabaptists, as is here insinuated?
A96610But what is this to a conclusion laid down?
A96610But what is this to the nations of the world, the states, cities ▪ and kingdoms thereof?
A96610But what makes this to Heretickes, Blasphemers, Seducers, to them that sin against their Conscience( as Mr Cotton sayth) after Conviction?
A96610But what may be said to Master Cottons argument?
A96610But what say you to the passage about the second beast, bringing fire from heaven?
A96610But what say you to this reply, touching how far the New English( implicite) Parishes compare and partake with those of old?
A96610But whither tends this last passage concerning David?
A96610But why should Master Cotton insinuate the discusser to glance a more obsequious eye upon the Pope, then upon the Emperor?
A96610But why should Master Cotton ● ● ● ● sinuate any affection in the discusser to that Tyrant of all earthly Tyrants, the Pope?
A96610But( Fourthly) saith he, they are called Gods, and shall they not attend Gods work?
A96610By what rule of God or Christ hath a Magistrate of this World, Authoritie, so to punish the one above the other?
A96610By whose command, and by what meanes and ordinances, by whose power and authority, but by the command, meanes and power of Christ Jesus?
A96610Can it be imagined that those wicked Kings, Jeroboam ▪ Baasha, Ahab& c. were figures of Christ Jesus?
A96610Can the sword of steel or arme of flesh make men faithful or loyal to God?
A96610Can there be peace, Jehu ▪ so long as the whoredomes of Jezabel and her witchcrafts are so many?
A96610Complaines Master Cotton of persecution for such dealing against him?
A96610Doth he indeed plead for liberty of conscience?
A96610Doth he quiet his minde with this;[ God knoweth who are his?
A96610Doth not even the naturall Conscience and Reason of all men put a Difference?
A96610Doth not every Leafe and Line breath the contrary to what Mr Cotton here insinuateth?
A96610For when the person changes and Religion too, how grossely notorious have been the Cleargies Changes also?
A96610For will my honoured and beloved friend not know me for feare of being disowned by his Conscience?
A96610God hides from sinfull man, God will reveale before All?]
A96610Had they not power to convince false Prophets, as Elijah did the Prophets of Baal?
A96610Have they first acknowledged the Covenant of Jesus, and then trod the precious bloud of that High Covenant under feete?
A96610He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the leg, and drinketh dammage?
A96610How can, saith he, wolves be peaceable and obedient, unless restrained?
A96610How easie, how common, how dreadfull these mistakes?
A96610How famous, or rather abominably infamous hath been the practice of all persecutors this way?
A96610How harshly were our last conferrings entertained by some?
A96610How keene a Sword would Mr Cotton draw against so many Millions of Gangreene Soules throughout the Turkish and the Popish World?
A96610How many and how various are the Disputings,& c. about what should be this three dayes and a halfes calamity?
A96610How many goulden heavenly Sentences( like so many precious Jewells) are treasured up, in the Cabinet of this holy Testimonie of Hilarius?
A96610How many hope this storm is over?
A96610How many wofully pervert many grave and heavenly Passages and Expressions of holy Scripture to base and filthy Jeasting?
A96610How were our selves suspected, and traduced for counterfeits; and our pious and peaceable Meditations, cruelly condemned to the devouring flames?
A96610I answer what if he had not a law from Caesar, if yet he had a law from Christ Iesus, as Master Cotton implies?
A96610I know what troublesome Effects followed in the same place, and what Breaches of Civill and humane Societie?
A96610I reply, and ask, who shall judge of Princes profession and practice, when they thus feed and judge in spirituall matters?
A96610I say, what will become of them( especially if power were in Master Cottons hand to deal with them as Wolves?)
A96610If it be denied, I ask to what end the Lord hath given those holy rules of admonition?
A96610If not of the Christian, then I demand of what Religion are they foundations?
A96610If such wolves, whores, and witches could yeeld no civil obedience, could they then exercise( by the same argument) any civil authority?
A96610If your own professions of Christ Jesus prove but a fading colour, and not died in the right Grain of the pretious blood of the Son of God?
A96610Is he indeed on the Lord Jesus mind for the sparing mens bodies, and present life, for their souls and eternal lives sake?
A96610Is it not a duty of righteousness belonging to the people of God, to enjoy the free passage of religion?
A96610Is not Christ Iesus the onely King of Israel; and are not all his holy ones made Kings and Priests unto God?
A96610Is not this to make his kingdom of this world, and to set up a civil and temporal Israel?
A96610It is a common Question, made by most, who shall be Judge of this Convicted Conscience; shall the lustfull Ravisher( the Persecutor) be Judge?
A96610It is objected, was the Church of the Jewes temporall that was assisted and protected with a temporall Sword?
A96610It will be said, What slaughters, what drinking of Bloud is that which Christ Jesus in these Scriptures intendeth?
