A45082	And so further, for honoring and obeying of Parents and Princes, how many are the rewards and threats running that way?
A45082	And so lastly, how can that be called good, which is done necessarily and unwillingly?
A45082	And so, I pray how shall business go on?
A45082	And then, how shall they confer on others, what they have not themselves?
A45082	And then, what help to the discovery of right or wrong; since every mans Will and judgement( as before) is still made Judge?
A45082	And then, what shall we say of children as they are usually nursed elsewhere?
A45082	And then, when the whole store and variety of nature can hardly satisfie the boundles appetite of one man: how should they content all?
A45082	And then, whether the possession or means of attaining them?
A45082	And therefore he adds, Are not you my work in the Lord?
A45082	And therefore what cause then of fear that any thing should separate us from the love of God our present Soveraign?
A45082	And therefore, it will now appear a most unreasonable supposition, that any should give what they never had: for from whom had the people this power?
A45082	And to this purpose, let them well consider that place of Job, Is it fit to say to a King thou art wicked, or to Princes ye are ungodly?
A45082	And what Creatures example they will follow therein?
A45082	And what were this Doctrine, but to overthrow and walk quite contrary to the Doctrine of Christianity?
A45082	And when it is affirmed that power is in the people, it would be known whether that word include the Magistrates also?
A45082	And when they appoint their measure of s ● rvitude, and time for continuance, is not this arbitrary?
A45082	And while they shall pretend to determine the differences of the people, who shall have power to determine theirs?
A45082	And who shall be superiour to see it on all hands performed?
A45082	And why should not fear be a wiser Passion then love?
A45082	And will not all Government be more or less Tyranny; because there is always more or less severity?
A45082	And yet why may not men naturally enough go on their hinde feet onely, as we see some horses born amblers?
A45082	And, because we would not have them kill us, must we( with the Banians) think it unlawful to kill them?
A45082	And, if this major Vote have not its power from Election, how comes it to have it?
A45082	And, in particular, what Law in Nature shall we finde to found marriage upon?
A45082	Apparent and certain( I say) for else how shall littigant parties know where to make their addresses?
A45082	Are not men usually in this case found rather inclinable to rules of their own invention, then obedient to the directions of others?
A45082	As we see it come to pass in dreams; what strange progression will they make?
A45082	At what yeers must Children be supposed able to pact?
A45082	Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish, why shouldest thou dye before thy time?
A45082	Behold I was left alone, these where had they been?
A45082	Besides, what greater assurance and demonstration of wisdom, then those effects thereof, whereby this greatness was acquired?
A45082	But how shall these things be fancied amongst men?
A45082	But how shall we contrive men to be so contemtemporary: or in such equality o ● Birth, Appetite,& c. to resemble them?
A45082	But how( I pray) can this be brought to pass?
A45082	But then, I pray, what necessity of putting your selves into such a condition of Government as must put you to this necessity?
A45082	But then, Princes hearts being inscrutable, who shall judge his intentions?
A45082	But then, how can they give what they have not?
A45082	But to these in brief it may be answered, if they may not be denyed, why do they petition?
A45082	But to what availe?
A45082	But what if the buyer have not commodities, for all men can not be stored alike?
A45082	But what is this to the natural duty of children to parents?
A45082	But what is this to the ruling of women in general; or to having of particular wives?
A45082	But why so?
A45082	But( to return) if Anarchy must be supposed but the first beginnings to the overthrow of established government, what shall we say of lawful conquest?
A45082	But, in this case, for one man( without farther authority) to impose upon another, with what reason shall he expect success?
A45082	Can he not also have Fatherly or Masterly power while he hath but one childe or one servant for the like reason?
A45082	Can you think that any Nation, People, Faction or single person, will condemn themselves of imprudence and injustice in what they do?
A45082	Did the major part of subjects grant it?
A45082	Do the people of such a place Covenant with themselves, both to transfer to themselves, and retain to themselves the government of such a place?
A45082	Do they claim Dominion over their slaves as taken in war?
A45082	Dost thou not now finde that the common Cause of condemnation against Christians is made for living and dying in hatred and malice?
A45082	Doth not thy heart yet feel remorse?
A45082	For as by fearing God above all, I give fear to whom fear; so by honoring the King, I give honor to whom honor?
A45082	For do we not Scholly, and Catechise our Children in the same opinion with our selves?
A45082	For how can any be supposed to be so equally and universally interessed as the Prince?
A45082	For how can men in that condition be general or free pacters or consenters?
A45082	For how can the people give power to the people, more then a man can be said to give power to himself?
A45082	For how can they do it as subjects?
A45082	For how should it be expected they should like to be straightned or punished for what they had formerly approved?
A45082	For how should it come to pass?
A45082	For if all the matter and persons contending be not at his dispose, to what purpose his sentence?
A45082	For if my deprivation or suffering be in a thing I esteem not, or am not sensible of, what need, or use of Patience?
A45082	For if such instincts and knowledge were, then would children be afraid of drowning, or burning, or the like?
A45082	For if the original power be in the whole community, and every one have his native and equal share, how comes it to be never so used?
A45082	For if the separation was not at first made upon such grounds as were hazardous of salvation, why was it made?
A45082	For if they could not set over them Moses, Joshua, and the rest, why should they have power to confer the office of Kingship?
A45082	For in that fancied equality which they have in power to one another, who shall be superior?
A45082	For of that war, what good issue could be?
A45082	For since pleasure was our end, why should I labour the pleasure of others, if my self had no share therein?
A45082	For since the Prince or Magistrate would not be willing that I should have command over him, how can he justly have command over me?
A45082	For since the Will must follow the light of the Understanding, how shall any be thought willing to associate and accompany those that do amiss?
A45082	For so, while he smote the rock and the water gushed out: they are still asking, can he give bread, can he provide flesh for his people?
A45082	For the infant comes from the womb with the knees up; and what pains with swadling do we take to stretch his body in length, and kept it so?
A45082	For they shall say we have now no King, because we feared not the Lord, what then shall a King do to us?
A45082	For to what other use( almost) labour we the possession of all other things, but to furnish and transmit unto them?
A45082	For vvas not the harm done by another, given as the reason of this revenge?
A45082	For what had Pride, Revenge, or Arrogance( with their turbulent deportments) to do with Prudence, or in the seat of Justice?
A45082	For what one is there of a thousand, that ever doubts of, or alters the religion he was brought up in?
A45082	For what think they shall become of Equity, which alone should take place, as having Reason and Wisdom for its guide?
A45082	For what use of power but through submission?
A45082	For what, shall he have such power of doing good, as it shall not be in the power of others to hinder it?
A45082	For when Custom or Law was alleadged, what and if the other side denyed it, or gave it a contrary interpretation?
A45082	For when by any of them alone, I chuse to exercise any moral duty, if thou take it not by the hand, how will self- respect byass it to pride?
A45082	For when do we see any person yeild to another in any Argument that is to be tryed out by discourse?
A45082	For without this, how could Nature have set one man above another?
A45082	For, is any thing Pleasant to the taste for other cause eschewed but out of fear of some other detriment?
A45082	For, without submission to Government and Authority, what peace can be hoped for?
A45082	Hath any one been so heroick, as but to taste what it is to be truely in love with any person here?
A45082	Have you not proper stations of your own to walk in?
A45082	How ambitious do we still finde them, to have honorable places and esteem in meetings?
A45082	How are the names of Tyranny, Slavery, Liberty, Freedom,& c. tossed up and down like Tennis- balls?
A45082	How can they be brought to bestow what they had not?
A45082	How comes mankinde into this thraldom of one another?
A45082	How could those things lead to temperance, which were even in their own nature intemperate?
A45082	How do our Pharisees resemble old ones, in compassing sea and land to make Proselites?
A45082	How do they again, in pressing some superstitious observations; and thereby failing in Judgement Mercy and Faith?
A45082	How do they resemble them in straining at a gnat, and swallowing at a Camel?
A45082	How dost thou, by thy due exercise, at once both make us good and happy?
A45082	How have they since encreased, in encroaching not onely thereon, but on parcels of the Dominions of other Christian Kings besides?
A45082	How ill natured is his own children, to his Peers?
A45082	How is a natural perfection put into a non- plus herein?
A45082	How is that old pharisaical Tradition of washing of hands, pots, cups,& c. imitated by the select tones and phrases of our modern Pharisees?
A45082	How is this falling away from the life and power of godliness, accompanied with the sad consequences of destroying Kings more now then ever?
A45082	How ready and constant supplies find Plants and Vegetables from the earth?
A45082	How shall he know these things?
A45082	How shall it be known?
A45082	How shall the Law judge; for that must be under its maker also?
A45082	How will they have this liberty stinted, both for persons and causes?
A45082	If by Law of Nature you mean the best Reason, who shall judge of that also?
A45082	If fight, or not fight, or well, or ill fighting be the same, is not their enslaving arbitrary?
A45082	If not, I would know whether they mean to have less power over their families then before?
A45082	If not, how is this usual brag of of antiquity?
A45082	If so, what praise can I expect for my seeming neglect thereof, when it was but what I can not overcome and avoid?
A45082	If they could not, or did not make Moses King of Jesurun, how came they to have right to make David?
A45082	If to this, be added that of his intellect, minde and contemplation, what shall we think all these advantages to pleasure afforded him but in jest?
A45082	If wisdome rule it, who shall decide who are wise: and in what measure it is to be stated?
A45082	If you suppose neither of these prices to take place, how shall Contracts go on?
A45082	Insomuch as, upon every extraordinary and remarkable event, how peremptory are we to assign this, or this for a cause?
A45082	Is it any thing but the pleasures and joys of heaven that draws our wishes that way?
A45082	Is it due to all Masters of families?
A45082	Is it fit that they should seek for the living sense of the Law, to the dead, letter?
A45082	Is not the food which preserves each individual take with delight; and that act that preserves the Species taken with more delight?
A45082	Is not the seller a Subject as well as the buyer?
A45082	It may be they were not in the battail: if they were, what must they be punished for being overcome?
A45082	Let women( on Gods Name) spin, and govern their own maids: have they not Callings of their own?
A45082	Must the husband have many Wives, that one may pact with another to empower him?
A45082	Nay how comes it that whole Nations are to be subject to this arbitrary disposal of the prevailing people of another City?
A45082	Nay, are not Princes to derive all their power from them, for they usually set them up and uphold them?
A45082	Nay, what mother, at the same time of her delivery, might not be cozened with a change; as also, while children are at nurse?
A45082	Nay, why might we not herein perceive him to be most truly and impartially vindictive also?
A45082	Not considering, that he can no wayes be advantaged without his fellows loss; and then, where is general freedome?
A45082	On all sides they confessed, that right, and not force should prevaile in decision: but who should judge of this right?
A45082	Or may they afterwards susped execution in every new Command, until they be fully satisfied in the justness thereof?
A45082	Or shall the thing framed, say of him that framed it, he had no understanding: That is, shall man be wiser then his Maker?
A45082	Or shall we think, that now, in corrupted Nature, men have farther power to order and govern themselves, then while it was pure?
A45082	Or, how can the major part be without subjection or government, and yet the whole State or Society be truely said to be governed?
A45082	Or, if no such manifestation now be, must we thereupon make answer, that we know not so much as whether there be a Holy Ghost or no?
A45082	Or, if they had, who was then the governed?
A45082	Or, will you suppose in them a vain power, that should never be brought into act in them, as in the hands it was first put?
A45082	Shall Idolatry and slavery be thought founded on Nature, because so generally heretofore, and yet practised?
A45082	Shall he sell proportionably cheap or deer to the rate the thing stands him in, he must then prejudice himself or another?
A45082	Shall it begin from the first underminings, or from the first overt act, or from which, or what sort of them?
A45082	Shall it end when the other government is overthrown, and there be no enemy left to hinder its peaceable settlement in an union by it self?
A45082	Shall the Law appoint the proportion?
A45082	Shall we place between the Gentry and Peasantry, a middle degree of Yeomandry, to make the body of an Army of; and so refuse the Peasant?
A45082	So that now, who is a lyar, but he that denyeth that Jesus is the Christ?
A45082	The Question will be, whether the buyer or seller shall be the judge and determiner herein?
A45082	The next must be, whether they have not deceived themselves, as to the valuing of their fruitions, or to the consequents attending them?
A45082	Then, the Children, when they meet with an easie and indulgent Father, and one that hath never so much as said to them, why do you so?
A45082	To what purpose ● ● ● ve those goodly Blossoms, Leaves, Fruits and Flowers, but to mellow and defend the Seed?
A45082	Under which name must be comprehended the present particular authority of that place, because else how shall they go to it?
A45082	Was it their fault their Prince fought against them?
A45082	What a many of play- days will they make, till, under the notion of slavery, all necessary ways to sustain the Family be neglected?
A45082	What are our supposed Pactions no more then theirs?
A45082	What are these many, and variable Laws for shutting out, and taking into freedom, and the several degrees thereof but Arbitrary Government?
A45082	What can he wish?
A45082	What could have been more expresly and rationally said, for perfect submission to our superiors, then here?
A45082	What do Princes Treasures, Militia,& c. convene in their underived Majesties; and freely elect also?
A45082	What if their Progenitors, for their folly or cowardise herein, had been punished with deserved slavery?
A45082	What if this government be thirty or fourty yeers destroying?
A45082	What is it which thou truly feelest now?
A45082	What is power therefore first in these things, and from them derived to Princes?
A45082	What is this but for people to command, and Magistrates to obey?
A45082	What is this but( as in mockery) to say to them, Do as you list or I will make you?
A45082	What probability then, that he should prefer an opinion unknown, at least alwayes discommended before one he doth know, and hears alwaies praised?
A45082	What strange footing do they at last make in this uncoth motion?
A45082	What will they then be the neer?
A45082	What, must it intend suddain succession too?
A45082	What, shall he live in Herds and Droves, and again destroy Policy and Property to enjoy their communion?
A45082	What, shall we call an appeal to God no remedy?
A45082	What, would they have him follow a rule he understands not, how shall it be a rule then?
A45082	When thou hearest the Cherubin and Seraphim crying out Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabboth, how will thy heart leap?
A45082	When we come afterwards to teach them to go, how ready are they to lean forward, and set their hands to the ground?
A45082	Whence can the major part derive their power?
A45082	Where is then mans fault, if it be not in the Will to good, but for want of knowledge which he could not remedy?
A45082	Where shall Conscience stint it self?
A45082	Which done, what neerer hope of general content?
A45082	Which once resolved, what strange fancies and models of Government, do they at once contrive& practise over one another?
A45082	Which, whilest they shall differ so much one from another, and can be but one true,( if any be) must they not charge God foolishly?
A45082	Who again, if he were settled by former Paction, how come they now to be free?
A45082	Who is this that is now to be thy Prince, and under whose Dominion thou must now for ever live?
A45082	Why as though living in the world, are we subject to Ordinances?
A45082	Why did not the major Vote of the eleven Tribes pretend to this right against Benjamen?
A45082	Why meddle you with mine?
A45082	Why should we confound, or substract their relation as subjects; and, instead of a capacity to be governed, think they had power of governing?
A45082	Why should we think God so unnecessary in his dispensations?
A45082	Why should you, in your popular fancy of underived power, thick to raign as Kings without us?
A45082	Why so?
A45082	Why will they be again seeking to be under Morall righteousness, and legall bondage, as when the Lord himself led them by the hand?
A45082	Will it not hence follow, that if I have no sufficient ability to judge what is good for my self, I should have much less to do it for another?
A45082	Will they allow subjects indefinitely to have power herein as they themselves shall see cause?
A45082	Will they not allow God his own way and season for things?
A45082	Will they( for peace- sake) put it to the Major Vote; how shall it be known, except voices and consent be taken viritim?
A45082	With what aversion doth every one of them submit to this inforcement, and how pleased are they when released, so as the knees may be gotten up again?
A45082	Would not each party pretend to it?
A45082	and being made and continued, how can it be expected they should be thought less?
A45082	and from whence should they derive insubjection?
A45082	and how shall he be a competent judge?
A45082	and must they not be men still that they shall so entrust?
A45082	and of fighting but death?
A45082	and without peace, what temporal good can be expected?
A45082	but if my issue be not mine, or uncertain, with what heart shall I bestow labour for them?
A45082	can they make no difference between having power over, and receiving power from?
A45082	do they swear to observe the Laws, or do the people swear to them Alleagiance?
A45082	doth the Artificer receive the power or skill belonging to him, as Artificer, from the instruments?
A45082	for as in them custom and habit do often pass by traduction, so, all men being goers, why should not children be naturally walkers?
A45082	for being but my equal in nature, how shall I know him my superior in wisdom?
A45082	for if so, what use of this common judiciary power, when one part of the people may still have power to judge of another?
A45082	have Military subjects double or treble Votes, because they have more power?
A45082	how can a shaddow make a shaddow, or deputies make deputies?
A45082	how com ● s this name of people to be appropriate to so few, and to impart Soveraignty?
A45082	how shall they then be free, when they come by this means to be the meanest and most servile themselvs?
A45082	if it do, where is the relation between governing and governed?
A45082	if they may, why do they rebel?
A45082	must the governor ask the governed their consent before he command?
A45082	or shall we say there is no remedy or justice for subjects, but when and where themselves shall be judges and executioners in it?
A45082	or what is the difference of the Kings power, from that of the meanest subject; when he must do so as he is directed, and no otherwise?
A45082	or, how differs it from the tyranny of Anarchy, which is of all tyranny the worst?
A45082	shall it be twenty in the hundred, a double, or treble value: or else what can he get?
A45082	shall the King?
A45082	shall we enlarge the number of Nobility or Gentry, by taking in and enfranchising those below them, to encrease souldiery?
A45082	since we have senses alike, should not their use be alike?
A45082	was it to be expected that either should say we contend for what belongs not to us?
A45082	what seest thou now?
A45082	what shall follow, but that they thereupon divide into Factions again?
A45082	what shall their duty go to the nurse?
A45082	what''s the issue of this discontent but strife and fighting?
A45082	what, are these the whole people, and yet not the tenth part of them?
A45082	when will they have done setting of watchmen upon watchmen?
A45082	where are the Pactions they can shew to warrant their so doing?
A45082	where are thy Texts of Scripture thy Pretexts of Law?
A45082	why then should ye not be obedient to us as well as other Churches, to whom we have preached it also?
A45082	wil not the force be equal, or more as of 2 against one, of the 1000 people against 600, or of 40 Senators against 30?
A45082	will not this render both relations, and the Government it self thereupon founded, to be a thing unfixed and uncertain; or but Anarchy new- named?
A45082	will they now set some in trust over these again?
A45082	would not each one, to encrease his particular propriety, be so covetously contentious as to destroy thereby the stock of the whole propriety?
