A59808If then this Faith be so plainly contained in Scripture, what makes all this dispute about it?
A59808If we must believe with our Understanding, how can we believe things which we can not understand?
A59808Is Corn, or Fruit, or Herbs, the less nourishing or refreshing, because we know not how they grow?
A59808Is this World, or any thing in it, the less useful to us, because we can not conceive how God created all things of nothing?

A29782But says Scaliger, what other thing is that anology of its common principle, then an occult property?
A29782But some will say, how can the brain be void of sense, and yet be adjudged the principle of sense?
A29782But to conclude, If fish should die for want of air, how come they to live, where the waters are frozen all over, many thousands of paces together?
A29782Here it is disputed, whether it be cold or hot: This Cardan affirms; which Scaliger re ● …, saying, Who told thee that the Tophas must be hot?

A53055Although they are as infinite and Eternal, as matter it self, and when I say Matter prime, I speak for distinction sake, which is the onely Matter?

A53055Besides, great God, thy will is just, for why?
A53055Besides, who knowes but that the very thoughts of men may be known by the temper of their body?
A53055But where should this Swarm, or Troop, or Flight, or Essences go, unlesse they think this thin matter is an Essence, evaporates to nothing?
A53055For shall we say, A man doth not know, because he doth not know what another man knows, or some higher power?
A53055IN infinite can no perfection be, For why?
A53055If so, who knows, but Vegetables and Minerals may have some of those rational spirits, which is a minde or soul in in them, as well as man?
A53055Now some may say, or ask, why I should think snow is made triangular wayes?
A53055Some will say, what sense hath man, or any other Animal when they are dead?
A53055To the first I answer, how many several postures may a man put his body into at one time, nay, I may say one part of the body?
A53055VVHY may not Vegetables have Light, Sound, Taste, Touch, as well as Animals, if the same kinde of motion moves the same kinde of matter in them?
A53055Why then all these are new opinions, and grounded upon Reason, I say some, but they are Paradoxes, what then?
A53055Yet that my arguments, and proofs are new; for what ancient Philosophers have preached after my way?
A53055and my application old, for what is older then eternity?

A70185How these SMALLER SEMINAL parts were so order''d, and framed?

A70185I inquire then, are these Substantial Forms produced of something, or of nothing?
A70185Quando itaque petit, Unde Anima veniat?
A70185Reponendum est, An dubitet unde Homo veniat?
A70185The question is then, How heat is known to be the effect of Fire?

A42816And what can we say next, if we consent to the Accusation?
A42816And wherein have I wearied thee?
A42816And would it not be vain self- contradiction to use Arguments against their Decrees, though they are never so unreasonable?

A42816Why will ye die ye house of Israel?
A42816Would it not be blameless, and irreprovable for us to give up our understandings implicitly to the Dictates, and Declarations of that Church?
A42816and are not your ways unequal?
A67135Are the Turks so barbarous, or so spightful to themselves, that they will not use Gun- powder, because it was taught them by Christians?
A67135But, Whether the Moderns have said any Thing upon these Matters, without Copying out of other Men''s Writings?
A67135Does any Man believe that the Use of the Load- Stone will ever be forgotten?
A67135Have Letters been ever lost, since the Time of that first Cadmus, whoever he was, that found them out?

A67135Have the Arts of Planting, of Weaving, or of Building, been at any Time intermitted?
A67135Have these Arts a fixed Foundation in Nature; or were they not attained to by Study?
A67135How came Jason and the Argonauts not to grow richer by this Fleece?
A67135If by Nature, why have we heard of no Orators among the Inhabitants of the Bay of Soldania, or eminent Poets in Peru?
A67135If by Study, why not now, as well as formerly, since Printing has made Learning cheap and easie?
A67135If not the Process it self, yet at least the Memory that once there was such a Process?
A67135If so, why no more Tradition of it?
A67135If we come to Particulars, who of the Ancients ever unravelled the Chronology of the Old Testament like Archbishop Usher, and Sir John Marsham?
A67135Or could these Egyptians make Gold without it?
A67135Or was Mankind ever put to the Trouble of inventing them a second Time?
A67135Sir William Temple''s next Enquiry is, From whence both the Ancients and Moderns have received their Knowledge?
A67135The Question which is first to be asked here, is, Where are the Books and Monuments wherein these Treasures were deposited for so many Ages?
A67135There are frequent Accounts of Pul, Tiglath- Pileser, Shalmanezer, Sennacherib, Esar- haddon, Nebuchadnezzar, Evil- merodach, Belshazzar; and who not?

A67135and, Who have carried their Enquiries furthest?
A304846. if you render it, he stretched out the Earth near the Waters, How is that one of God''s great wonders?
A30484A shadow for a substance?
A30484An Earth founded upon the Seas, and establish''d upon the Waters, is not this the Earth we have describ''d?
A30484And have we not the same reason to understand this Temple of the World, whereof S. Peter speaks, to be threefold in succession?
A30484And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A30484And to what end were they propos''d to us there, if it was not intended that they should be understood, sooner or later?
A30484And to what purpose indeed should he premise the description of those Heavens and Earth, if it was not to lay a ground for this inference?
A30484And what then?
A30484And you are to observe here that the Apostle does not proceed against them barely by authority; for what would that have booted?
A30484Be it so; yet what is the ground of those allusions?
A30484Because a Rock hangs its nose over the Sea, must the body of the Earth be said to be stretched over the waters?
A30484Besides, what is it, as I ask''d before, that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of?
A30484But where is that necessity in this Case?
A30484But why may not this be writ in a Vulgar style, as well as the rest?
A30484Can any body doubt or question, but all these four Texts refer to the same thing?
A30484Can not God make new Heavens and a new Earth, as easily as he made the Old ones?
A30484Have we not then reason to suppose, that he takes it here in the same sence, that he had done twice before, for real and material Heavens and Earth?
A30484How freely and unconcernedly does Scripture speak of God Allmighty, according to the opinions of the vulgar?
A30484If his design was onely to tell them that Mankind was once destroy''d in a Deluge, what''s that to the Heavens and the Earth?
A30484If one met with this sentence* in a Greek Author, who would ever render it standing in the water and out of the water?
A30484In the 6th verse he makes an inference,* Whereby the World, that then was, perish''d in a Deluge; what does this whereby relate to?
A30484Is his strength decay''d since that time, or is Matter grown more disobedient?
A30484Or because there are waters in some subterraneous cavities, is the Earth therefore founded upon the Seas?
A30484Secondly, what is it that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of?
A30484That of the Deluge, Moses calls there Tehom- Rabbah, the Great Abyss; and can there be any greater than the forementioned Mother- Abvss?
A30484The Earth is the Lord''s, for he hath founded it near the Seas, Where is the confequence of this?
A30484What is there wonderful in this, that the shores should lie by the Sea- side; Where could they lie else?
A30484What reason or argument is this, why the Earth should be the Lord''s?
A30484What tolerable interpretation can these admit of, if we do not allow the Earth once to have encompass''d and overspread the face of the Waters?
A30484What watery constitution have they?
A30484When shall this new World appear?
A30484Where can we now find in Nature, such an Earth as has the Seas and the Water for its foundation?
A30484Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the Earth?
A30484Whereupon are the foundat ● ons thereof fastned, and who laid the corner stone?
A30484by reason of what?
A30484or could they pretend to be ignorant of that without making themselves ridiculous both to Jews and Christians?
A30484that there was a Deluge, that destroyed Mankind?
A30484that they were ignorant that the Heavens and the Earth were constituted so and so, before the Flood?
A30484what''s this to the natural World, whereof they were speaking?
A42819And did they, think we, understand the Interest of the Roman Church?
A42819And if we go beyond the Creed for the Essentials of Faith; who can tell where you shall stop?
A42819And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge I pray you be ● … ween me, and my vineyard; are not my ways equal?
A42819And shall we despise our advantages, and forsake them?
A42819And to argue against this supposal, as some do, by Queries, What men are in that other Earth?
A42819And what Ends of a P ● … rty they did?
A42819And what can Religion get this way?
A42819And what can we say next, if we consent to the Accusation?
A42819And wherein have I wearied thee?
A42819And would it not be vain self- contradiction to use Arguments against their Decrees, though they are never so unreasonable?
A42819But what is this to the disadvantage of Reason, to which indeed those sorts of Wisdom are as contrary, as they are to Religion?
A42819Did these know what they recommended?
A42819For what advantage can the Atheist, and Insidel expect greater, than this, That Reason is against Religion?
A42819He argues, that God will provide for Us, because he doth for the Ravens, since we are better than they; How much more are ye better than the sowls?
A42819How apply General Propositions to our own particular cases?
A42819How can we compare one Scripture with another?
A42819How can we draw any Consequence from it?
A42819How much more then is a man better than a sheep?
A42819How tell what is to be ● … aken in the Letter; what in the Mystery, what plainly; what in a Figure?
A42819If God so cloath the grass, how much more will he cloath you?
A42819If so, we kindly serve their ends, and promote their Designs in the way, which they account best, while we vili ● … ie, and disparage Reason?
A42819Is this, think we, that Philosophy, that wisdom of this world, which the great Apostle censures and condemns?
A42819May we not follow blindly whatever the Infallible Man at Rome, and his Councils, say?
A42819O my people, what have I done unto thee?
A42819Or to alledge Consequences from Scripture against any of their Articles, though never so contrary to the Holy Oracles?
A42819Shall we give our enemies the Weapons, and all the odds; and so endeavour to insure their Triumphs over us?
A42819Shall we relinquish our ground, and our light, and mu ● … e our selves up in darkness?
A42819Thus if any one should ask me, How the Divine Nature is united to the Humane?
A42819What according to strict, and rigorous truth?
A42819What by way of accommodation to our apprehensions?
A42819What can they propose more?
A42819What do they pretend?
A42819What vanity; what prejudice to Religion can be supposed in this?
A42819Where is the Scribe?
A42819Why will ye die, ye house of Israel?
A42819Would it not be blameless, and irreproveable for us to give up our und ● … rstandings implicitly to the Dictates, and Declarations of that Church?
A42819and are not your ways unequal?
A42819and how saved?
A42819whether fallen?
A42833And how comes it to pass, that we are not aware of any such congenite apprehensions?
A42833And how should we recall the distances of Bodies which lye in a line?
A42833And what happiness is there in a storm of passions?
A42833And what''s a diaphanous body, but the Lights medium, the Air?
A42833But shall we malign it, because it entitles us not to an Omniscience?
A42833By whose direction is the nutriment so regularly distributed unto the respective parts, and how are they kept to their specifick uniformities?
A42833Can nothing be otherwise, which we conceive impossible, to be so?
A42833Can unguided matter keep it self to such exact conformities, as not in the least spot to vary from the species?
A42833Did we learn such an Alphabet in our Embryo- state?
A42833How are the Glories of the Field spun, and by what Pencil are they limn''d in their unaffected bravery?
A42833How do they scramble for their Nuts, and Apples, and how zealous for their pety Victories?
A42833How fond are men of a bundle of opinions, which are no better then a bagge of Cherry- stones?
A42833How is a drop of Dew organiz''d into an Insect, or a lump of Clay into animal Perfections?
A42833If our Returning Lord, shall scarse find faith on earth, where will he look for charity?
A42833Is he sure, that objects are not otherwise sensed by others, then they are by him?
A42833Is it just to condemn the Physitian, because Hephestion dyed?
A42833Is not light more known then this insignificant Energie?
A42833Is our knowledge, and things, so adequately commensurate, as to justifie the affirming, that that can not be, which we comprehend not?
A42833Is''t not possible, and how know we the contrary, but, that something, which alway attends the grosser flame, may be the cause of heat?
A42833Now are not many things certain by the Principles of one, which are impossible to the apprehensions of another?
A42833Now let the Sciolist tell me, why things must needs be so, as his individual senses represent them?
A42833Now who dares pretend to have seen the prime motive causes, or to have had a view of Nature, while she lay in her simple Originals?
A42833Shall we not rejoyce at the gladsome approach of day, because it''s over- cast with a cloud, and follow''d by the obscurity of night?
A42833Shall we, like sullen children, because we have not what we would; contemn what the benignity of Heaven offers us?
A42833We know what we know; but do we know any more?
A42833What a Romance is the story of those impossible concamerations, Intersections, Involutions, and feign''d Rotations of solid Orbs?
A42833What a number of words here have nothing answering them?
A42833What a stir is there for Mint, Anise, and Cummin controversies, while the great practical fundamentals are unstudyed, unobserved?
A42833What is''t then that prevents our Sensations; or if we do perceive, how is''t, that we know it not?
A42833What work do our Imaginations make with Eternity and Immensity?
A42833Who can speak of such fooleries without a Satyr, to see aged Infants so quarrel at put- pin, and the doating world grown child again?
A42833With what an infinite of Law- suits, controversies, and litigious cases doth the world abound?
A42833and how are we gravell''d by their cutting Dilemma''s?
A42833and may not it, and its supposed cause, be only parallel effects?
A42833and why must his sense be the infallible Criterion?
A43987And may not so many frozen Clouds serve for so many Looking- glasses?
A43987And what hinders but that we may think this likely?
A43987As if it be asked, what is Hard?
A43987Besides, how can any whole Body be Moved, unless all its parts be moved together with it?
A43987But if it be asked concerning an Abstract Name, what is it?
A43987But if it be demanded, what is Hardness?
A43987But what is this determinately true, but true upon our knowledge, or evidently true?
A43987But what may be the cause of this decay or weakning?
A43987But what?
A43987But why have they not learned them, unlesse for this reason that none hitherto have taught them in a clear and exact method?
A43987But why should Eternity be called an Abiding Now, rather then an Abiding Then?
A43987But why?
A43987But you will say, by what Sense shall we take notice of Sense?
A43987For by which of our Senses is it, that we take notice of the Aire, seeing we neither See, nor Hear, nor Tast, nor Smell, nor Feel it to be any thing?
A43987For if concerning the Name of a Body, that is, concerning a Concrete Name, it be asked, what is it?
A43987For to what end is it to do over again that which is already done?
A43987For what shall we say?
A43987For who can commend him that demonstrates thus?
A43987For who does not alwayes and in the same manner understand him that sayes any thing is Extended, or Moved, or not Moved?
A43987From whence therefore can these creatures have their Light, but from lying all day in the Sun- shine, in the hottest time of Summer?
A43987Have not all men one kinde of soule, and the same faculties of mind?
A43987Have they sharper wits then these?
A43987Is the Motion the weaker because the Object is taken away?
A43987Nor is it from this, that men know not that the effects of war are evil; for who is there that thinks not poverty and losse of life to be great evils?
A43987Or am I in the wrong, who think I have found out the construction of both these Problemes by the Rule and Compass onely?
A43987Or how can the internall Parts of it be Moved, but by leaving their Place?
A43987Or lastly, Whence is it that any Body possesseth the same space for sometime?
A43987Or rather, what may the cause be, that being once elevated, they fall down again?
A43987Or that there can be no Vacuum, because Vacuum is nothing, or as they call it, Non Ens?
A43987Or, How comes it to pass that the whole Body by succession is seen now here now there?
A43987They which in this manner take away Eternity from the World, do they not by the same means take away Eternity from the Creator of the Wo ● ld?
A43987Were there no Philosophers Natural nor Civil among the ancient Greeks?
A43987What then are these things?
A43987What then can Dayes, Moneths and Yeares be, but the Names of such Computations made in our Mind?
A43987What then is it?
A43987What then makes this difference, except Philosophy?
A43987Why then should not that other of the smalness of some Bodies, become credible at some time or other?
A43987Why therefore being once carried up, doth it fall again?
A43987Why therefore should not reciprocal motion of the parts of the Loadstone contribute as much towards the moving of Iron?
A43987and Pappus himself, was he faulty when he found out the trisection of an Angle by the help of an Hyperbole?
A43987and may they not be fitly disposed for that purpose?
A43987are the ancient Geometricians to be blamed, who made use of the Quadratrix for the finding out of a straight line equal to the arch of a Circle?
A37496Again, are believers, as he affirms, at an infinite distance from Christ ▪ If this were true, what sad news would it be to the Church of God?
A37496And can not we be enemies to this say y ● u, without hating the blessed word of God?
A37496And how contrary is this Doctrine to Mr. Simpsons?
A37496And how highly hath he honored their Learning, to make it a defence for the Gospel?
A37496And if the world by wisdom, that is, its Philosophy, knew not God, how can it by that wisdom reveal God and his things which it never knew?
A37496And last of all, If any say, I my self relate to the University, why then do I speak against it thus?
A37496And was this promise only made to them, and not to all the faithful also, who should believe in Christ through their word?
A37496And what now are the University- Degrees in Divinity to these?
A37496Are Grammar, R ● thorick, Logick, Ethicks, Physicks, Metaphysicks, Mathematicks, the weapons whereby we must defend the Gospel?
A37496But what do they perform at length?
A37496But what strange Phrase is this?
A37496Do not the Saints partake of the Divine Nature?
A37496Doth this man truly believe in the Son of the living God, who make him such an helpless Idol?
A37496For is our Vnion with Christ, the Foundation of error?
A37496For what Humane Learning had Peter and John?
A37496For which of the Philosophers instructed the Apostles?
A37496How can this Doctrine agree with these Scriptures?
A37496How highly hath Mr. Simpson honored Socrates, Pythagoras, Plato and Aristotles,& c. to make them a strong guard for the Person of Christ?
A37496I Answer, what part of Philosophy is here made use of?
A37496I say, doth he believe this word to be of God, which hath done the very works of God?
A37496In what a sad condition then are the common and plain people, that they can not pledge him?
A37496Is it a not madness then to say that we could not understand the Scripture without Aristotle?
A37496Must that word be secured by Aristotle, which delivers all the Elect from sin, death and hell for ever?
A37496Now doth not all this declare a most woful Ignorance of, and enmity to the Gospel of God our Saviour?
A37496Or how shall the Mysterie of faith, and of our union with Christ through faith into one flesh and Spirit with him be known?
A37496Or the new birth, and new Creature, which hath all things new in it, and all those new things, the things of God?
A37496Or what help must they have to teach them Divinity, who have not opportunity to gain Humane Learning?
A37496Quae ergo ● lcemosyna est sic fovere puerulum talem Diaboli in Castris Cainiticis contra Christum?
A37496Quis est sapiens& intelliget haec?
A37496What alms therefore is it to cherish such a child of the Devil in Cains Castles against Christ?
A37496Who but Antichrist himself could have brought in and set up such an Abomination of desolation in the Church of God?
A37496Who is it then?
A37496and if the Ceremonies of the Law were in use under the Gospel, how ought we to rend our Garments at the bearing of these things?
A37496and what is the divine Nature, but the very Nature of God?
A37496and yet openly affirms to the world, that it can not maintain it self, or subsist without the help of Philosophy?
A37496or have true, Believers no real Vnion with Christ, but imaginary?
A37496or who of the Heathens are here quoted?
A37496where he saith, exceeding great and pretious promises are made to us that we thereby should be made partakers of the Divine Nature?
A963691. who''d expect Fire out of water?
A96369Again, because a Body is ordered naturally to Act and to Suffer, we ask, what it can or can not do?
A96369Again, if, to endure be, for the same thing to be the same it was; is it not clear, ther''s nothing requir''d but a non- mutation?
A96369Again, the universall answer is evident to all those questions, Whether God knows Future contingents?
A96369Again; why''t is often sexangular, or rather like a Star with six rayes?
A96369And this sense seems the better: for, what could be the end why God should appear a- walking?
A96369And what did God?
A96369And, how will it unite?
A96369And, that this is true, appears out of those explications of Place, whereby, usually, answer is made to the Question, Where is such a thing?
A96369But, if it be ask''d, what the proposition will signify, if it be referr''d immediately to the effect, as it sounds?
A96369By what or How?
A96369Concerning the proper nature of Body, because''t is Finite, we ask, of what Figure''t is?
A96369Do you ask, What fruits I expect?
A96369Hence, then, those Questions are superfluous, Whether one Form can be the same in divers Matters?
A96369If in Rest, the Predicate is neither constantly fixt to the Subject, nor the Subject to the Predicate; and then we ask, where a thing is?
A96369If it be, therefore, ask''d, what men mean by such propositions,''t will rain,''t will be hot, Socrates will be angry or go to Sea,& c?
A96369In what?
A96369Infinite things?
A96369Materia prima?
A96369Mentall or imaginary things?
A96369Negations?
A96369Of this last, we ask, When was the Motion?
A96369Predicates of the first kind are said to be predicated in quid or as the what; being such as answer to the question, what a thing is?
A96369THe solution, also, of that old Question is evident, Why God made not the World before?
A96369The second is, Why God, of all others should name Day and Night, the Firmament, the Land and Seas, and lastly Man; but none of the rest?
A96369The third is, Why God bless''d only the Fishes, Birds and Man; and not the Plants nor Animals?
A96369To the question, therefore, Whether time would passe on were the Sun or Heavens immoveable?
A96369WHat says Theology to this?
A96369What more?
A96369When the Subject is mov''d, we ask, by what?
A96369Why?
A96369You''l ask, wherein consists this action of an Intelligence upon a body?
A96369You''l say, Since a Spirit is a Thing of another order then a body, how can it concurre into the same Thing?
A96369and again, Whether many Forms in one Matter?
A96369and that we answer is said to Act, and the Subject to Suffer from it: when the Subject moves, we ask, what it moves?
A96369and what we answer is call''d its Quality: Lastly,''t is compar''d to other particular things; and we ask, what''t is in respect to another?
A96369and, on the other side, that, of two things which exist, if one perish, that''s said to be chang''d; that which endures remaining still unchang''d?
A96369and, what neighbourhood of one to the other?
A96369because''t is Alterable by others, we ask, how''t is, in respect to those Qualities according to which''t is variable?
A96369but, with the addition of what kind or what in particular?
A96369is irrationall; and signifies just as if they should say, If the sides of the sphear were joyn''d,& nothing else done, would they be joyn''d?
A96369or, what consequence is this, An Angel wills, therefore a Body is rarefy''d?
A96369the secrets of Hearts?
A96369then, how will it be cemented?
A96369whereto the Predicate we answer is call''d its Site or Situation: Or lastly, the Predicate is fixt to the Subject, and we ask, what it has?
A49317139 of Mr. Lo ● ks Letter to the Bishop of Worcester?
A4931715. would positively and plainly say that this Law of Nature was written upon the hearts of the Gentiles, if it really and truly was not ● o?
A49317And First, how doth he prove that it is necessary that there should be one single, determinate Rule for the future happiness of all Men?
A49317And can we ● hink it reasonable, that God should deal the better with any Man for turning Apostate?
A49317And is not this now a Scheme of Religion worthy of an Immortal Deist?
A49317And is there not requir''d in the 〈 ◊ 〉 the f ● ee determination of it self, though 〈 ◊ 〉 other requisites besides do concur?
A49317And what advantage is this to his cause?
A49317But doth Religion pretend any thing to the contrary?
A49317But how do they prove, that this impression would make the belief of a God irresistible and necessary?
A49317But is it the less Innate, because it is also rational?
A49317But may not a Man err, like a Fool, and yet after enquiry?
A49317But may we not both by reason, and experienece, know something to be true, of which we have no clear and distinct Idea, as to the manner of''em?
A49317But what if there be other Arguments to prove the being of a God, must we then reject this as useless?
A49317But why is not the Duty reciprocal?
A49317But why should any such maxim be of more authority than those of St. Paul?
A49317But why should he call the will of Man Inefficax, when at the same time he tells us that it determins the will of God?
A49317But will he argue barely from the Laws not being heard, that therefore there is none?
A49317But yet is there nothing in that admirable contrivance of the whole?
A49317Could not God as well Save the rest of the World by some extraordinary manner, as he sav''d Noah, and his Family in an ordinary one?
A49317Do ● s not the Soul depend upon God, as to its pres ● rvation in all 〈 ◊ 〉 Actions?
A49317Dost thou not think, that thou art bound to bel ● ● ve and do as they have promis''d for thee?
A49317For if innate ideas are to be examined and judged on by the working of reason, What then?
A49317However if we see all things in God by his exhibiting to us the Ideas that are in himself, how comes he so variously to represent them to several Men?
A49317Is it the less day with us, because it is at the same time Night in otber Places?
A49317Is not the light of a Candle a true Light, tho''it be inferiour to that of the Sun?
A49317Is there nothing further r ● quir''d for Action but only thes ●?
A49317Lock indeed say, that these notions are in the same sense Connatural to the Soul, as reason it self is?
A49317May it not be such, as that the power and ef ● icacy of it m ● y be, in a great measure rebated by wilful wickedness and vicious Practices?
A49317May not Christ be made to us Wisdom, unless we see all things in the Ideal World?
A49317May not the the Soul of a Child properly be call''d a rational Soul, tho''as yet it can not form a Syllogism?
A49317May there not be such a thing as Divine Grace, tho''at the same ● ime we do not believe it to be irrisistible?
A49317Might not Mans will, if God had so pleas''d, as well determine the motion of his own Arme, as determine the will of God?
A49317Not by a Mediator, for that he says, is unnecessary: Strenu ● asseris, sed quo modò probas?
A49317Nothing in all this worthy of a rational assent?
A49317Now let us compare such or such an action to the Law or Rule of Fashion or reputation; I find it agreeable thereunto: What then follows?
A49317Or may not matters of Fact done by God be misrepresented as well, as those done by Men?
A49317Since he is so Positive in his demand, why may not we be a ● positive in our answer, and say, that they can: And what then?
A49317Some semina vitae moralis, tho''these do not show themselves until such prefixt times, as Providence and the nature of things have appointed for''em?
A49317What necessity is there, that the mode of Humane understanding should be thus fully explain''d at all?
A49317What then?
A49317Who would not from hence be apt to think, that these Men could write as good a Moral as the Gospel?
A49317Why may not Children be, in the same way, bound to honour their Parents, as Parents to love their Children?
A49317Why may not this, as well as the union of the Soul and Body, remain a Phaenomenon not yet explain''d, and perhaps not explicable?
A49317Why then may not Moses be as well explain''d by St. Paul, as St. Paul by Moses; and so Natural inscription be understood by both?
A49317Will a superficiall enquiry excuse the folly?
A49317are commanded by God to teach their Children these Moral Dutys: But what then?
A49317may there not be such an impression upon our minds, as may rather gently incline, than forcibly constrain to belief?
A49317nothing in all this worthy of a Man of clear Ideas, and distinct perceptions to believe or imbrace?
A49317nothing in that exact correspondence, and agreement of the parts of Scripture, tho''writ at several times and upon different occasions?
A49317or indeed that he should be admitted into the same rank of Candidates for happiness, with a mere natural Pagan, who never knew any other Religion?
A49317what less glorious Title than that of Oracle, becomes such profound reasoning, as this?

A65801Quanta est haec importunitas ut non liceat Formam appellare quam video distinguere unam ab aliâ?

A65801Quid ab auriculis Midae magis fatuum expectari posset?
A65801Quid ait Scepticus?
A65801Quid commemorem conversationem humanam?

A65801Quis tulerit Gracchum de seditione querentem?

A56399And when Democritus had modell''d his Atoms, and Epicurus had, as he fansied, put them in a right way to gather into a Body, what did it avail them?
A56399Annon igitur Theologus istud Quandam summo jure reprehendit?
A56399Annon ista floris plus valent quàm vestra Idea?
A56399As how, I beseech you?
A56399Atqui secundùm priscam vocis significationem intelligere certè non potuit, ni ● artesianam& Platonicam de Ideis opinionem unam esse cognôsset?
A56399Besides, what is this Chance at last?
A56399Besides, what order or disposition of the Heavenly Bodies will these men pitch upon, as effective of such consequences?
A56399But do not you know the Theorist is so liberal of that Element, as to furnish out of the Centre with it even to profuseness?
A56399But does he believe his insignificancy will be his security in the common danger, a Pass- port through the Waves?
A56399But how does this Argument comport with the daily testimony of our eyes?
A56399But is Oil of so glutinous a Nature?
A56399But may not the Pretender''s Faculties be inferiour?
A56399But now where appears that little half Animal the Atheist?
A56399But then what if the Beauty, Structure, and Order which ensu''d, could not arise from any such Principles, as it is plain they could not?
A56399But what shall at last animate some of these lumps, and temper all of them?
A56399Cur, quaeso, non licuit?
A56399D''you see that poor Dog there?
A56399Did you never see Water and Ashes mixt in a Kettle before''t was hung over the Fire?
A56399Do his Faculties therefore differ from ours only in order?
A56399Enimverò quis Deum( tu reponis) sub aliquâ figurâ aut sibi aut aliis unquam repraesentare potest?
A56399Ergo nonne Idea plusquàm nota recognitionis esse videtur?
A56399For granting these Atoms fell thus together; did they chance, I beseech you, to fall together before they did fall together?
A56399For what''s the King and his Council to me?
A56399For why must this Chaos be a fluid Mass?
A56399Have Orion and the Pleiades been in Trine with Aquarius?
A56399Have not Traytors, High- way- men, and Prostitutes Complexion and Feature as taking as Saints?
A56399How could that be, unless there was such a Crust?
A56399How often has the Poinancy of a single proposition, or the quaintness of a reply determin''d Life and Death?
A56399Is this then the penetrating Man?
A56399May they not be fewer?
A56399May they not be less perfect?
A56399Must they therefore devour all Relations and Properties whatsoever?
A56399Nonne enim( teipsum appello) tripartitam ille intellectualium operationum divisionem instituit?
A56399Not that I imagine good Manners make a new face, but what then?
A56399Nôsti ergo, inquit, quid sit Idea?
A56399Or does he fansie his Hammock will serve him for a Long- boat, and that he alone shall swim to shore upon his back without striking?
A56399Quid enim faceret Theologus?
A56399Quid enim habet dignum quod concupiscas?
A56399Quid enim hoc est, quàm quae fuerit( ista substantia) te omninio nescire?
A56399Quid enim?
A56399Quid est praecipuum?
A56399Quid nunc mihi dicis, Antoni plurimùm colende?
A56399Quid quòd Idearum ipse venerabilis autor de iis tam incertè& allegoricè differeret?
A56399Quomodo autem in hac re defensu ● us, quomodo tantâ sua solertiâ illustraturus est?
A56399Quî, tu respondes, explicaret?
A56399Shall I be oblig''d to acquiesce in a Miracle, because I can not fathom Nature''s measures?
A56399Si contemplando animae Ideam, Ideam istam i d esse quod de illius essentiâ concepisti tecum recognoscas?
A56399Si intelligere te ais, cur figurâ quâdam non descripseris, aut fando explicaveris?
A56399That were self- resignation with a Vengeance: What?
A56399The Division and Subdivision thus atchiev''d, and all the Particles thrown into Motion, what other alterations are like to arise?
A56399Then it seems you fancy the Chaos boyling up like a Mess of Frumenty?
A56399Thus therefore he argues, What, am I indebted to my Country more than my Country''s indebted to me?
A56399To whom do you apply that?
A56399What becomes then of the Authority of the Ancients?
A56399What changes would ensue in this Cube of matter?
A56399What may that be?
A56399What opinion, I wonder, of Piety to his fellow- Citizens must such a man have embrac''d?
A56399Which way these Masses are bound up and fasten''d together, so as not to be wash''d asunder again by the motion of the free parts of the Fluid?
A56399Why do you believe so?
A56399Why might it not be as well a drift or shower of Atoms yet unamass''d, disorderly dancing one amongst another, and at various distances?
A56399and how can I help it, if Constitutions will change?
A56399and not only so, but elevate and prompt the Imagination?
A56399how must he look upon Political Duties as mere Platonick Ideas?
A56399may not the serenity and transport of the Mind add life to the Eyes, and smiles to the Mouth, and colour to the Cheeks?
A56399may they not brighten a native coarseness?
A56399nonne ipsum imaginationis opisicium primasque simplicesque rerum repraesentationes judicium praecedentes, easdem esse decrevit?
A56399nonne primo in divisione membro Ideas illas tanquam rerum imagines attribuit?
A56399num secundùm priscam vocis significationem, an secundùm novam aliquam vestram intelligeret?
A56399or conclude before he judges?
A56399or has Virgo been troubled with a Diabetes so long?
A56399quid enim?
A56399quâ de communi Picturarum apparatu tollemus?
A56399that is, Does he judge before he apprehends?
A56399the subtile inventive, Verè adeptus?
A56399what Mind so frigid, but at this would sicken for further opportunities to signifie its Zeal?
A34395( Jodocus), d. 1713?
A34395AND moreover also, Why did he drown the old World with Water, and hath purposed to destroy this with Fire?
A34395And how can one expel or drive out another?
A34395And in the Creation of this World, did not the Waters at the Command of God, produce Birds and Fishes?
A34395And shall not this Ocean perpetually abound with its own Efflux to the Production of Creatures, and that with a certain continual Stream?
A34395BUT, Secondly, How can they prove Impenetrability is an Essential Attribute of Body; or that Penetrability is an Essential Attribute of Spirit?
A34395But how can this be without Life or sense?
A34395But if it be demanded of them, from whence this Spirit is sent, and who sendeth it?
A34395But what farther progress in Goodness or Perfection hath a dead Matter?
A34395But whence is it, that when a Body is at length corrupted, out of this Corruption another Species of Things is generated?
A34395For seeing the Soul can so easily penetrate the Body, How can any Corporeal Thing hurt it?
A34395For why doth the Spirit require such an organized Body?
A34395I mean, from that which is its proper Nature, as considered Originally, or in its Beginning, or First Being?
A34395If they say, it hath a Metaphysical Goodness and Truth, even as every Being is Good and True: Again; I demand, What is that Goodness and Truth?
A34395Is a Horse then a mere Fabrick or dead Matter?
A34395Moreover, Why is the Spirit or Soul so passible in corporal Pains?
A34395Now how can it be, that this Fountain shall not always plentifully flow, and send from it self Living Waters?
A34395Or how can any Thing, that wanteth Life, enjoy Divine Goodness?
A34395Or, What Attributes do they ascribe to them?
A34395Or, what are those Links or Chains, whereby they have so firm a connexion, and that for so long a space of Time?
A34395Or, which thinkest thou is the worst Degeneration, to bear the Image of a Beast in Spirit, or in Body?
A34395Or, why is it requisite, that the Image of the Object should be sent to it, through the Eye, that it may see it?
A34395THE Second Thing to be considered, is, Whether one Species of Things can be changed into another?
A34395Was it because it was so hard and thick?
A34395What can be here objected against the Justice of God?
A34395What can it see, hear, taste, or feel, either from within or without?
A34395Wherefore do we call a Thing Good?
A34395Whether God Created all Creatures together, or one after another?
A34395Why doth it need a Corporeal Light, to see Corporeal Objects?
A34395Why doth it require a Corporeal Eye so wonderfully formed and organized, that I can see by it?
A34395Why may not Body be more or less impenetrable, and Spirit more or less penetrable, as it may, and indeed doth happen in all other Attributes?
A34395Why then doth not he that cleaves to a Beast, by the same reason, become one with a Beast?
A34395Yea, how comes it to pass that all kind of Animals are not immediately produced out of one and the same Body?
A34395and shall not such deservedly become like Devils, even as those who led an Angelical Life are made equal with the Angels?
A34395if he hath, which can not be denied, what becomes of this Spirit when the Horse dies?
A34395let us suppose but one Atom to be separated from its Fellow- Creatures, What can that do to perfect it self, or make it self greater or better?
A34395or hath he a Spirit in him, having Knowledge, Sence, and Love, and divers other Faculties and Properties of a Spirit?
A643533. of Ecclesiastes?
A643533. v. 21. for instead of, Who knoweth the spirit of man that is ascending, and the Spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
A64353And Abraham, the Friend of God, made this expostulation, for which he had no rebuke ▪ Wilt thou destroy the Righteous with the Wicked?
A64353And again, this also, Shall not the Iudg of all the Earth do Right?
A64353And doth not this Philosopher condemn himself, whilst he speaks concerning Pacts which we made at pleasure, teaching the signification of Words?
A64353And first, d what kind of attribute, I pray you, is immaterial or incorporeal substance ▪ Where do you find it in the Scripture?
A64353And he addeth also; Who can answer they shall be better by the return of the dispossessed party?
A64353And what can be said of God, which may betoken honour, if he be once accused as the Author of Sin?
A64353And who knows but that it may be effected by the same name?
A64353And would you learn Christianity from Plato and Aristotle?
A64353Are not your wayes unequal?
A64353Are you then convinced, that God is?
A64353But I must again ask you, what you g will say of all those Martyrs we read of in the History of the Church?
A64353But d what if we be commanded by our lawful Prince, to say with our tongue, we believe not; must we obey such command?
A64353But in what horrid place, and of what confounding quality, are the future torments, if they be not, to single persons eternal?
A64353But seeing there is no such word in the Scripture, how will you warrant it from natural reason?
A64353But substance( you say) being construed aright, doth signifie something that standeth under, under what, when ascrib''d to God?
A64353But to come to somwhat peculiar in Christianitie; what if b a King or a Senate, or other Soveraign Person, forbid us to believe in Christ?
A64353But what Elusion can be invented touching the foreknowledg of God?
A64353But what answer have you in readiness to those places, where the Scripture speaks distinctly of Body and Soul?
A64353But what av ● ileth Rebounding to the very Act of Sense?
A64353But what can you h answer to our Saviours saying, Whosoever denyeth me before men, I will deny him before my Father which is in Heaven?
A64353But what evasion is sufficient, when you read the History of the Deliverance of St. Peter?
A64353But what will you say, c if perhaps Ratiocination be nothing but the coupling and concatenation of Names, by the Verb Est?
A64353But when is it, that the heavens shall be no more?
A64353But why to you of all men should this seem hard?
A64353But, what great motive is there to this compliance with the civil Power, of any perswasion?
A64353By a what Sense( say you) shall we take notice of Sense?
A64353Curst be the man( what do I wish?
A64353Do you find Magigistrate to signifie any where the person that hath the Sovereign Power, and not every where the Sovereigns Officers?
A64353Do you think it an honour to God to be one of these?
A64353Do you understand the connexion of Substance and Incorporeal?
A64353Et iniquum esse ● um damnare, cui n ● n fuit potestas jussa complere?
A64353For, how could those Objects and this Command conveigh a force into his Will, and thence into his Arm, to slay his Son?
A64353Have you not read what our Lord said to his disciples, after his resurrection?
A64353I could repeat to you, divers sayings of the ancient deceivers in Moralitie; such as are, Armatus leges ut o ● gitem?
A64353If Impressions were, not only Instruments, but acts of Sense; might we not strongly argue, that a Looking- glass saw, and a Lute heard?
A64353If then there be one Phantasm in one part, and a second in another, by what imaginable power can they confer?
A64353Is not my way equal?
A64353Is that your meaning?
A64353It is something, you''l say, that being without Body stands under — stands under what?
A64353O grave, where is thy victory?
A64353Seeing by the Hypothesis, the impotent World exists, and an infinite power also; who else can be imagined this Omnipotent Architect?
A64353What hindereth then, that we may not at all times, do or speak the things contained in them, after such manner as we are there directed?
A64353What is then to be understood by eternal Torment, if we aright interpret the Holy Scripture?
A64353What maketh a Superiour Law, but a Superiour Power, declaring his Will in some particular instances, to be obey''d?
A64353What need is there of answer upon answer in the present case?
A64353What then seemeth to you to be the place and state of the damned?
A64353What will not a man say rather then acknowledge himself in an errour, though the thing it self speaketh it?
A64353Where find you the Supreme Civil Magistrate( for him you mean) to be constituted a Judge of true and false?
A64353Where is your Reason in these words, considering the ingeniousness of divers Dumb- men, excelling that of many who are loudly talkative?
A64353Wherefore St. Paul saith a O death, where is thy sting?
A64353Why c may not the Angels that appeared to Lot d — be understood of Images of men, supernaturally formed in the fancy?
A64353Why do you t stile the King by the name of Magistrate?
A64353Why then did accused Adam transfer the blame on Eve, and she upon the Serpent?
A64353Will you suffer me to proceed in proving that the future estate of Gods subjects shall be upon earth,& particularly at Ierusalem?
A64353You have thus rendred the words; Who knoweth that the spirit of man goeth upward?
A64353and this, Who knoweth Mr. Hobbes, who is a Mathematician?
A64353for there is great difference betwixt this saying, Who knoweth that Mr. Hobbes is a Mathematician?
A64353the difference not consisting in any Physical causality, but in relation, or respect to divers Terms?
A64353will you say under accidents?
A64353— But whence doth it come to pass, that self- interest is laid by you as the foundation- stone of the Law of Nature?
A64353— But yet if this Kingdom were to come at the Resurrection of Christ, why is it said, Some of them, rather then All?
A64353— But, upon what account is it said by you, that the Omnipotence of God must be obstructed by the grant of an undetermin''d liberty in Man?
A65786Again, why will ours be false, and yours good?
A65786Again, will you use any other form of Discourse then Sylogistical?
A65786An equilateral Triangle?
A65786And admit no other for proof?
A65786And see you not now the figure of the Animal and its respectively homogeneous parts form''d?
A65786And that all of them will cling together, where they begin first to divide?
A65786And that the dryer will grow into different figures?
A65786And, you your selves, how will you evince any one Consequence to be ill?
A65786Are there, perhaps, in all Nature more usual words than Being and Power?
A65786Art, therefore, what is it, but a Rule which commonly fails not?
A65786At length, therefore, he falls again into the old Error, enquiring how corporeal things can have any force upon a naked Spirit?
A65786B. I demand, to what purpose serves this marking?
A65786By this truth we are led to the evident solution of the two following knots; the econd being how the Body and Soul are united?
A65786Can any man be born such a Bruit, as not to own that one thing is distinct from another?
A65786Can these two stand together; it appears that none of those things proposed us are true; and at the same time, it appears that some of them are true?
A65786Do they interweave Definitions with self- known truths?
A65786Do they model their Books in Euclid''s Method?
A65786Do they profess to Demonstrate?
A65786Does the difficulty lie here, that this, by which t is distinguish''d should be called a Form?
A65786Especially into certain hollow Vessels; if, by the beats of the boyling moisture, they be extended and thrust out in length?
A65786First he asserts this Method is the Daughter of ignorance?
A65786For he that asserts this does he not, at the same time, deny Bigness; and yet clearly he names an Aptitude to Bigness?
A65786For, he asks farther, whence the Soul comes?
A65786For, otherwise, how is it possible but opposition may be rais''d against this, out of things not- yet seen- through and conjoin''d with this Truth?
A65786For, what''s more manifest than that Geometricians require a streight Line to be drawn from one point to another?
A65786For, whence shall what you say derive any appearance?
A65786For, who can doubt but that a Body, as Long, is terminated: and therefore can forbid an End or Term to be assign''d it?
A65786For, who has sufficiently fifted this, who, or by whose judgment they are called wise, that have pronounced this of the Peripateticks?
A65786Have so many prodigious wits of your Ancesters been sent abroad over all the Christian World, but to sell Smoak and Bubbles for Jewels& Pearls?
A65786Have you yourselves the patience to be till''d on through so many years exercises, only to the like emptiness?
A65786Here now enquire whence Aristotle has got an Authority with the Vulgar?
A65786How blindly does the Sceptick dispute these things?
A65786How have you the confidence to attaque any one that''s truly a man?
A65786If Aristotle has err''d in a very few things; why, yet, so much anger?
A65786In fine, To what purpose do we amass Arguments against those, who, as far as in them lies, have put off Humane Nature, and made themselves Beasts?
A65786Is it for any thing but to notifie the Longitude of the Body they measure?
A65786Is it not just to press on you to prove first whatever you assume; and this without ever coming to an end?
A65786Is not this hugely remarkable, or rather to be admir''d?
A65786It ought, therefore, be objected, at the very begining, to such contemners of Sciences; what attempt you?
A65786Let''s consider what part of our Action or Life is exempt from their service: what Arts go to the providing us Food, Cloaths, Houses, Delights?
A65786May not I say of two brazen Statues, that they agree in Brass, and are distinguisht by their Figures?
A65786NOw we must give ear to the Complaints,( shall I call them?)
A65786Next, he calls it the Inmate of untam''d affections: upon what title?
A65786Nor can I deny that these are neglected in the Schools: but, what''s guilty on''t, but the Scepticism that reigns there?
A65786Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes?
A65786That a Circle be made?
A65786That they demand a Line to be drawn out in infinitum?
A65786That they dispute, whole Volumes full, conconcerning Lines and Superficies?
A65786They that have not the confidence to deny these, why are they loath to allow the same may happen in the wide passages of the Brain?
A65786To conclude, What is there that falls under mans use, wherein some kind of Art is not exercised?
A65786What blind Tiresias could not as truly give verdict of Colours, perhaps''t is white, perhaps not?
A65786What could be look''d for more silly from Midas''s ears?
A65786What if I should say, that it never fails?
A65786What need I mention Humane Conversation, but especially Negotiation?
A65786What says the Sceptick?
A65786What wonder now is it, if that ingenious Person derided such solemn trifles?
A65786What''s your meaning?
A65786When, therefore, he asks, Whence comes the Soul?
A65786Whether there be at all any certainty attainable, at least of one Proposition or one Reasonment, which we call a Sylogism?
A65786Which of the Moderns has more happily unbowel''d Nature than Digby, who at every turn is mindful of Aristotle, and candidly accepts his Dictates?
A65786Who is so ignorant, that he knows not that bigger things, at the same distance, strike the eye in a more obtuse Angle and stronglier?
A65786Who knows not that Figure, if plain, as objected to the eye, is nothing else but Quantity more spacious or contracted this or that way?
A65786Will you tell us how it ought to be, to be good, you I say that grant none to be evident?''
A65786and how t is united to the Body?
A65786for, how, whilst, in common, it most clearly appears to thee that nothing is true; yet assertest thou, in particular, that this appears to thee true?
A65786for, if there can be nothing certain in Humane matters, why do we instruct Infants and Boys?
A65786it must be answered with a question, Whether he doubts whence the man comes?
A65786or, if it be distinct, can he assert t is distinguish''d by nothing?
A65786shall we not allow Philosophy its growing time?
A65786what a strange unreasonableness is this, not to let me call that a Form, which I see distinguish one from the other?
A65786what''s your aim?
A65786who would have look''d for this brand from a Sceptick?
A65786why strive we to perswade Youth into those things which seem True to us?

A10327Let us set aside Cicero and other Philosophers; for what doe they here?
A10327No, wee allow none of these?
A10327O what a difference is betwixt even the Heathens, and us Christians?
A10327Rhetoricians contend, whether Rhetoriques proper end bee to perswade soundly, or to speake elegantly and neatly; what need they trouble themselves?
A10327Shall we not reade Aristotle, Plato, Cicero, De ● ● osthenes?
A10327The Persiās thought it a great fault in a childe, either to lie, or speak corruptly; Do yee make our Christian Youth worse then the Heathen?
A10327They see well enough, that Philosophers do dissent in opinion?
A10327Thinkest thou, that thine opinion cānot be true, unlesse Plato be con ● ute ●?
A10327Virgill gathered gold out of the dunghil of E ● ● ius; and shall we scrape together stinking filth out of the Philosophers Store- house?
A10327Wee leave that to Divines, let them preach CHRIST devoutly, What have wee Philosophers to doe with Divinitie?
A10327What doe our Philosophers answer to this?
A10327What hath Athens to do with Ierusalem?
A10327What hath Athens to doe with Ierusalem?
A10327What have wee to doe( say they) with this over- busie godlinesse and Holinesse?
A10327What is a Declamation?
A10327What is this I heare?
A10327What refuge have they then?
A10327What shal we not ● ame the immortal gods, not Iupiter?
A10327What shall I recite Iustine Martyr, Saint Ambrose, Saint Augustine, and the rest, who doe frequently, and vehemently urge the same opinion?
A10327What shall I say of later Writers, as Ludovicus Vives, Picus Mirandula, Hieronymus Savanorol ●?
A10327What shall wee do therfore?
A10327What then will some say, doe you forbid the reading of prophane matters, l ● st men be corrupted therby?
A10327What then?
A10327What then?
A10327What were Aristotles slaves able to understand him, and shall not we be able?
A10327What, do yee not know, how that all your jar ● ing, and differing opinions may easily be reconciled by distinguishing?
A10327What, not in verse?
A10327What?
A10327Whither shall wee turn our selves?
A10327Whom therfore wil ye have?
A10327Whom will yee have then, Buridanus, or Bricottus?
A10327Why are yee thus in an uprore, and perplexity, O yee Philosophers?
A10327Why do yee aske mee?
A10327Why doest thou not permit the Athenians to believe Philosophers?
A10327Why so?
A10327Will hee demand what reasons induced me to be of a contrary opinion to most of Aristotles Interpreters now a days?
A10327You have hit the naile on the head ▪ Is this a demonstration, because it is?
A10327an Vniversitie with the Church?
A10327an Vniversity with the Church, or Hereticks with Christians?
A10327and a Theologicall Truth?
A10327and what then?
A10327as Aristotle, when hee takes away ▪ Providence from God?
A10327as Diagoras, when hee denied there was a God?
A10327as Plato, when hee sets up a Purgatory?
A10327as Protagoras, when hee doubted whether there was a God or no?
A10327doe yee aske?
A10327not in our talke?
A10327not when wee declayme, or dispute?
A10327or Porphyrius, who sayes that Angels are to be worshipped?
A10327or as Aristotle, when he teacheth Free- will?
A10327or shall not that be called a Declamation, which is not stuffed with impiety?
A10327or what have Heretiques to doe with Christians?
A10327or with Plato that a mutuall Participation of Wives is to be tolerated?
A10327shall we leave off the old want of defending Aristotle, whom the most learned of the Vniversities have so long time highly esteemed?
A10327shall we say with Epicurus that the soule is mortall?
A10327shall wee not attaine to the knowledge of Historie, Philosophy, Eloquence?
A10327shall wee ● all to reasoning?
A10327were yo ● initiated in the Mysteries of Philosophers?
A10327what?
A10327which three most learned men doe tell us with one consent, that they must be very warily perused; who are they?
A10327who is that?
A10327whom?
A10327why are ye thus distracted with severall opinions about Summum Bonum?
A10327why doest thou dispute with the Stoicks& Epicureans at Athens, of the resurrection of the dead, and the life to come?
A10327with Aristippus, that Pleasure is Summum Bonum?
A10327would you not have us speak as Philosophers?
A10327— Dii te Donate Deaque Rectum ob judictum doment tonsore; Sed undè tàm benè distinguis?
A42813( For what great thing was absolute and perfect in its first rise and beginning?)
A42813And did they, think we, understand the Interest of the Roman Church?
A42813And how the Distances of Bodies that lie in a Line?
A42813And if it was so short in the flourishing Times of the Roman Empire, how was it before in the days of Aristotle, and the Graecians?
A42813And if this be all, Why should not a bag of Dust be of as firm a Consistence, as Marble or Adamant?
A42813And if we go beyond the Creed for the Essentials of Faith; who can tell where we shall stop?
A42813And now, Can the Sun borrow its Light from the Bottomless Abyss?
A42813And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and Men of Judah, judge I pray you between me and my vineyard; are not my ways equal?
A42813And shall we despise our Advantages, and forsake them?
A42813And those Dissenters are ready to ask a Reason, Why they may not be sent in Messages to Earth, as well as those of the Angelical Order?
A42813And what are Aristotle''s peragrations of Asia, to all these?
A42813And what can Religion get this way?
A42813And what can we say next, if allow of the Accusation?
A42813And wherein have I wearied thee?
A42813And who knoweth which way the Conclusions may fall?
A42813And who yet knows how far, and to what Discoveries this Invention may be improved?
A42813And will he lend his Legions, to assist the Armies of his Enemy against him?
A42813And would it not be vain self- contradiction to use Arguments against their Decrees, though they are never so unreasonable?
A42813And, 3. why must the common Speech of all Mankind be altered?
A42813But how shall the Power be known to be so, when we so little understand the Capacities, and extent of the Abilities of Lower Agents?
A42813But if our Remembrance arise from the easie motion of the Spirits through the opened passages( according to this Hypothesis)?
A42813But that is this to the disadvantage of Reason; to which those sorts of Wisdom are as contrary, as they are to Religion?
A42813But the doubt remains still, what the Agent is that hath this power?
A42813But we frequently hear an insulting Objection against this Philosophical Society, in the Question, What have they done?
A42813But what need more?
A42813Can Fire freeze, and Water burn?
A42813Can Heat and Warmth flow in upon the World from the Regions of Snow and Ice?
A42813Can Natures, so infinitely contrary, communicate, and jump in Projects, that are destructive to each others known Interests?
A42813Can a Cedar shoot up out of the Earth like a Blade of Grass?
A42813Did these know what they did?
A42813For could they expect that such mighty Projects as these should ripen in a moment?
A42813For what advantage can the Atheist and Infidel expect greater than this, That Reason is against Religion?
A42813He argues, that God will provide for Vs, because he doth for the Ravens, since we are better than they; How much more are ye better than the Fowls?
A42813Here I ask''d him, what entertainment this their preaching met with in Bensalem?
A42813Here I ask''d, whether Those men were against all Metaphysicks?
A42813Here I ask''d, whether these men were not enemies to Ari- stotle, and his Philosophy?
A42813How apply general Propositions to our own particular Cases?
A42813How came it to be lost without memory among their Followers, who were such superstitious porers upon their Writings?
A42813How can we compare one Scripture with another?
A42813How can we draw any Consequence from it?
A42813How it moves them?
A42813How much more then is a Man better than a Sheep?
A42813How tell what is to be taken in the Letter; what in the Mystery, what plainly; whatin a Figure?
A42813How the things that answer to these distinct Possibilities are united, and of what compounded?
A42813How then do we so distinctly remember such a variety of Objects, whose Images pass the same way?
A42813I pray''d him to acquaint me with their Opinion of the MATHEMATICKS?
A42813I say, What are the gleanings of a few mercenary Hunters, Fowlers, and Fishermen, over one part of Asia, to these Advantages?
A42813If God so clothe the Grass, how much more will be clothe you?
A42813Is there any Balsam in the Cockatrices Egg?
A42813Is this, think we, that Philosophy, that Wisdom of this World, which the great Apostle censures and condemns?
A42813It hath indeed been a great Dispute among Interpreters, whether the real Samuel was raised, or the Devil in his likeness?
A42813May we not follow blindly whatever the Infallible Man at Rome and his Councils say?
A42813O my People, what have I done unto thee?
A42813Or to alledge Consequences from Scripture against any of their Articles, though never so contrary to the Holy Oracles?
A42813Shall we give our Enemies the Weapons, and all the odds, and so endeavour to insure their Triumphs over us?
A42813Shall we relinquish our Ground, and our Light, and muffle our selves up in darkness?
A42813State, what I mean by Religion?
A42813Thus if any one should ask me, How the Divine Nature is united to the Humane?
A42813To argue against this Supposal, as some do, by Queries, What Men are in that other Earth?
A42813To make a due return to this, we must consider a great and difficult Problem, which is, What is a Real Miracle?
A42813What according to strict and rigorous Truth?
A42813What by way of accommodation to our Apprehensions?
A42813What can they propose more?
A42813What do they pretend?
A42813What medium, what distance, what temper is necessary to convey Objects to us just so, as they are in the realities of Nature?
A42813What vanity; what prejudice to Religion can be supposed in this?
A42813When there are such continual motions through the Brain from numerous other Objects?
A42813Where is the Scribe?
A42813Whether Electrical and Magnetick Vertues are altered by Cold?
A42813Whether fallen?
A42813Who can say he hath seen Nature in its beginnings?
A42813Why should not the impell''d Spirits find other open passages, besides those made by the thing we would remember?
A42813Why will ye die, O ye House of Israel?
A42813Will the Prince of Darkness strengthen the Arm that is stretcht out to pluck his Usurp''t Scepter, and his Spoils from him?
A42813Would it not be blameless and irreprovable for us to give up our Understandings implicitly to the Dictates and Declarations of that Church?
A42813Yea, in such a pervious substance as that is, why should not those subtile Bodies meet, every where an easie passage?
A42813and are not your ways unequal?
A42813and how saved?
A42813and how?
A42813and what all the World calls Parts be call''d Possibilities of Division?
A42813and what by Reason?
A42813or an Elephant grow to the vastness of his bulk, as soon as a little Insect can be form''d of a drop of Dew?
A42813or what sort they allowed?
A42813or, Can the Spirit of Life flow from the Venom of the Asp?
A42813or, the Planets are inhabited?
A42813what Opinion he hath of his own Gift, and how he came to know it?
A42813yea, that our very Faculties were not given us only to delude and abuse us?

A09500Again, if any demand why blacke clouds are conjectured most to containe, and send forth thunder bolts most fearefull?
A09500Againe, being asked, why fire, being naturally light, doth not rather ascend then descend?
A09500Againe, if it be expostulated, what can be the cause of the admirable effects of this thunder?
A09500And againe, what desolation befell all Italy, almost after that prodigious debording of waters which fell from the Alpes without any former raine?
A09500And if it be objected how contrary to their nature can they descend or fall downe, their matter being light and not ponderous?
A09500And if it be said, how can Comets have so many different courses, seeing a simple body can have no more but one motion of it selfe?
A09500Anne aliquas ad caelum hinc ire putandum est Sublimes animas, rursumque ad tarda reverti Corpora est?
A09500As to that question; by what cause it hapneth, that moanings, mournfull voyces, and sometimes also laughings are heard in the ayre?
A09500BVT whether and after what manner can Fishes be said to breath, seeing they have no lungs, the bellowes of breath?
A09500BVt leaving the Sea, thus much may be demaunded concerning the earth, why it is said to be round?
A09500But how did he this?
A09500But what reason can you render for the Seas saltnesse?
A09500But what shall we say?
A09500But whether doe they shine with their own innate or inbred light, or is their splendor borrowed from any other beside?
A09500By that meanes I see you seeme to make no difficulty of that whereof I so much doubted?
A09500Cardinall Cajetan his permission where ● nd how?
A09500David his fight with Goliah should not serve for example, and Why?
A09500Dew and Hoare- frost are not so generated, for why?
A09500First then, I aske of what matter are the heavens composed?
A09500How deepe hold you the Sea to be?
A09500How is it then that commonly after Earthquakes, Plagues, Pestilences, and death of Bestiall doe ensue?
A09500If it bee true then that the Seas are salt, wherefore are not lakes and rivers by that same reason, salt also?
A09500If people be changed from that which they were wo nt to be, Why?
A09500If some Countries be barren, others plentifull, Why, and How?
A09500Is this so as you give it forth?
A09500Much Snow in the Northerne climats, and Why?

A09500Not to be afraid of death, and why?
A09500Now I crave to understand, what is the matter of these twinckling Starres which we see glancing in the face and front of this heaven?
A09500Now I demand, if these and the like doings of Beasts be not founded upon reason whereof we men brag as of a greater prerogative above them?
A09500Now by what power draweth the Loadstone Iron unto it?
A09500Now finally, hath the Moone no power over particular sublunary bodies?
A09500Now if it be asked; What is the cause, why we see sooner the lightning then we heare the thunder clap?
A09500Now to cleere the question concerning fowles wanting feete and feathers; whether may such things be, or not?
A09500O What perplexity and doubts were the ancient Philosophers plunged in concerning the transmigration of their soules?
A09500Or if it be asked?
A09500Quibus oceanus vincula rerum Laxet,& ingens pateat Tellus, Tiphis que novos deteget orbes, Nec sit terris ultima Thule,& c. And why not?
A09500Scipio, his Antagonist?
A09500Seeing all depende upon the knowledge of the Earths compasse, then how many Miles hold you it to be in roundnesse?
A09500Some more good observations of dew and Hoar- frost What Snow is?
A09500The Canon Law gaine- sa ● eth their permission, and Why?
A09500The changing of triplicities notable to change the nature of things; and Why?
A09500This being briefly spoken of the matter and forme of Comets, it may be asked what course they have?
A09500To say si bellum sit licitum, quidni& duellum?
A09500To the former adde this curiosity likewise: what Heaven it was which the Prophets Enoch and Elias were wrapt into?
A09500WHat shall bee said to those, who while they sweare and promise, have neverthelesse in their minde no intention at all to performe?
A09500Was there not Gods appointed by them, as the Patrons to all vices, and authorizers of it?
A09500What can be the cause of the Loadstones attractive power to draw Iron unto it?
A09500What causeth some Fountaines to last longer than others?
A09500What have you to say concerning the cause of the flowing and ebbing of the Sea?
A09500What have you to say to this, that as there are fishes extraordinary, so I have heard of fowles without either feete or plumes?
A09500What is the cause then, seeing the Moone is alike in power over all waters, that Lakes and Rivers flow not and ebbe not as well as the Sea doth?
A09500What is the reason?
A09500What maketh them fal dovvn seeing they are light?
A09500What more remarkable one then that which appeared above Hierusalem, before its sacking and captivity?
A09500What things hold you to be in Time?
A09500What time can we better spend here on Earth, than that which we imploy in the search of her most delightfull instructions?
A09500Whether fishes doe breath or not, seeing they have no lungs the bellowes of breath?
A09500Whether, with Aristotle, predicamentall or not?
A09500Which admit were true: yet who, amongst the sonnes of men, before Columbus, did ever adventure to discover it?
A09500Why are they not seene in the day time ▪ What be these complainings and laughing which sometimes are heard in the ayre?
A09500Why see we not such inflammations in the day time as in the night?
A09500Why, some Plants and Herbes ripen sooner than others?
A09500Yea, but saith my curiosist, what language shall we speake in Heaven?
A09500an idle question; what other language should we have but Hallelujuhs, hymnes, and praises to Him who sitteth upon the Throne?
A09500and How?
A09500and second de anima fondly giveth forth?
A09500for our curious Our anographers by their doings( I warrant you) shall exclude them out of all Heavens: for why say they?
A09500how soone a man may encompasse it, as in the first Treatise of the secrets of nature may be seene?
A09500if a War be lawfull, why not a Duell?
A09500if there bee any apart by this?)
A09500mutuall, or that it holdeth onely of the creature, not of the Creator also?
A09500or whether is Time the consumer, or the producer of things?
A09500or, if there shall be one after this is consummated?
A09500since there are so inaccessible high mountaines and such long tracts of plaine valleys scattered over it all?
A09500what have they advantaged( I say) by giving up the vastnesse of the firmament so unmeasurably large as they doe?
A09500whether hell be there or not?
A59247Again, Let us ask what Colour or Figure it is of?
A59247Again, since the Bodies are put to cause them, how can we think they are nothing like them?
A59247And I did really intend that Sceptical Men should ask, — Quid profert dignum tanto promissor hiatu?
A59247And is not this enough?
A59247And this gives an Entire Satisfaction to every Man who is capable of Knowing Common Morality,( as, who is not?)
A59247And, Who sees not, that, from this Proposition, Every Man is Rational, it follows, that Peter, John, and each particular Man, is Rational?
A59247And, whence must we take those Differences?
A59247Are they Corporeal, or are they Spiritual, or under what Head shall we rank them?
A59247BUT how can the Things be in our Understanding?
A59247Besides, what should the Soul do with two Material Comparts; one, Organical; the other, Inorganical?
A59247But what needs more than meerly his ascribing Materiality to it, at least, permitting it to belong to it?
A59247But, if no Evidence can be had, what Necessity is there at all of Judging one way or other?
A59247But, should any Sceptick ask why the Idea of Yellow is the Idea of Yellow?
A59247But, suppose this so; why must General Maxims be held Dangerous and Faulty, when the Fault Confessedly lies in other Things?
A59247But, what Good can this do to any, but to such as have renounc''d Common Sense, even to Ridiculousness?
A59247But; what needs any more, since Mr. Locke has already Confuted that Position beyond possibility of any Rational Reply?
A59247Can any Man think that Art and Reflexion do add no Advantage to Untaught Nature?
A59247Can not we suspend our Judgment till Evidence appears; or whether it does ever appear, or not?
A59247Can the Memory be said to Retain what is not?
A59247Does the Mind see the Thing without, by sending out her Rayes of Knowledge to it?
A59247First, If it were the same in Sense, where''s the Harm?
A59247For( to wave my former Proofs) I ask him whence he had first the Notion or Idea of Space?
A59247For, First, What other Reason had they from Nature to put such a Power in the Soul?
A59247For, what are Names, but the Words which signifie those Ideas?
A59247From other Common Heads?
A59247He ask''d, Why?
A59247He is too acute to hold Innate Ideas: It was Acquir''d then, or wrought in him; And by what, but by the Thing, that is, by the Body?
A59247How many are there in the world who are reputed for Learned men, and yet have no Principles which are not taken from Fancy?
A59247How many ways does he distort, wind, turn, poize, stretch, and ply the parts of his Body?
A59247I answer; What have we to do with Ideas when we Predicate?
A59247I ask, Is the Idea of Extension, as to its Representation, in all Respects like that Mode as it is in the Thing; or is it not?
A59247I ask, whether, by his Thought, he means his Judgment?
A59247I grant, that whole Complexion is not knowable by us in this State: But, why have not we as much Knowledge of them as is necessary for us?
A59247I infer; therefore without it, we should not have had so Clear a Knowledge of the Proof, nor consequently of the Conclusion; and is this nothing?
A59247If in it, the old Question returns, How got they thither?
A59247If out of it, How could the Soul''s Acts of Understanding, which are Immanent Acts, become Transitive, and affect a Thing which is without her?
A59247If then we have an Idea or Likeness of Universality, or Generality, What is it like?
A59247If this be true, why are they call''d[ Ideas,] which either signifies Resemblances, or Nothing?
A59247In Answer; First, I ask how he knows God would keep the next Bodies, in that Case, from Closing?
A59247In like manner, should he ask why a Man is a Man?
A59247In order to which I ask the Ideists, Whether the Modes or Accidents are Distinct Entities from the Substance or Thing?
A59247Is Reviving the Notion of Retaining, they being rather of a Contrary Sense to one another?
A59247Is it Blew, Green, or Yellow?
A59247Is it Rare or Dense, Hot, Cold, Moist, or Dry?
A59247Is it Round, Four- square, or Triangular?
A59247Is it a Yard in Length, or but an Inch?
A59247Is it as Thick as a Wall, or as Thin as a Wafer?
A59247Is it as little as a Barly- corn, or as big as a House?
A59247Lastly, Are those Species they put, when purify''d, perfectly like the Thing, or imperfectly?
A59247Lastly, What means his making it then to be Judgment, when we have no Demonstrative Evidence?
A59247Lastly, What means this Power in the Mind to revive Perceptions?
A59247Lastly, What needs this Circumlocution?
A59247May we not as well say we may see Light, and yet have no Notion of it?
A59247May we not judge a Conclusion that is Demonstrated to be True, because it is Demonstrated?
A59247Must they hover still in these few common Heads of Notions?
A59247Neither can this be said, for the Mind could see or know the Thing it self were it in it, else how could it know the Ideas?
A59247Next, how can we know that those Ideas move regularly, and not rather very differently, in diverse Men?
A59247Next, how does it follow, that, because we can not explicate it, we do not know it?
A59247Now, if this be so, why can not they satisfie and instruct Rational Men, and conduce to quiet and fix their Judgment, as well as to Nonplus Wranglers?
A59247Now, things standing thus, who can think Logick, or Syllogism( the main End of it,) are to be slighted as of little or no use?
A59247Now, what sense can we make of an Idea of an Idea, or what means a Similitude of a Similitude, or an Image of an Image?
A59247Now, who can think, that meerly to be at Ease, is this Greatest Good; or the Motive, Object, End, or Determiner of the Will?
A59247On the other side; How facil and natural is my Way of our gaining an Idea or Notion of Infinite?
A59247Or can Remembring be conceived to be the same Notion with Reproduction?
A59247Or can there be a Repository of Nothing?
A59247Or rather if so many, why no more?
A59247Or that an Identical Proposition is True, because''t is Self- evident?
A59247Or that no Intrinsecal Predicate instructs, but only what is Extrinsecal to any Nature?
A59247Or what means it to say, he intends[ Man] by those many Words, and yet would not have it thought so?
A59247Or what other thing was it good for, but to purifie the Species?
A59247Or who bids us Judge at all till we see a good( or Conclusive) Reason why?
A59247Or, if they be not signify''d by the Word[ Man,] how is the Proposition True?
A59247Or, that, when they strike the Eye, they stop there, and are not carry''d into the Brain?
A59247Otherwise, why could not these do it as well as General Maxims?
A59247Secondly, Were those Phantasms, before they were Spiritualiz''d, in the Soul, or Intellectus, or out of it?
A59247So, Mr. Locke asks, If God should place a Man at the Extremity of Corporeal Beings, whether he could not stretch out his Hand beyond his Body?
A59247That, to Unman our selves, so as to seem Crack''d- Brain''d, or Drunk, is the Way to become Soberly Rational?
A59247The Proper Opposite to Probable, is Improbable; and, what has Improbable to do with Absolute?
A59247The Question then is, What is the Proper Subject of Light?
A59247This perform''d, what are they to do next?

A28549What shall I wish to such Deluded Men?
A28549What then?
A28549What then?
A28549What then?
A28549What then?
A28549What, art thou( a) Asinus ad Lyram?
A28549What, didst thou come forth but lately upon the Stage of this Life?
A28549What, doth any of these Peculiarly appertain to the?
A28549What, quoth I?
A28549What, quoth I?
A28549What, quoth she, should I forsake thee my Son, and not bear a part of the Burthen, that is lay''d on thee for my sake?
A28549Whence one of thy Family thought he had just cause to raise these Questions: If there be a GOD, whence come Evil things?
A28549Wher''s( b) Cato, or( c) Brutus?
A28549Where lye the Bones now of( a) Fabricius?
A28549Whither quoth I?
A28549Who can deny that?
A28549Why are stern Tyrants, who soon lose their Powers Admir''d by Mortals?
A28549Why do Proud Men in vain Desire to be Free''d from Mortality?
A28549Why do you Boast of your Large Pedigree?
A28549Why dost Thou not their Works respect, So that Just men no Harms may Fear?
A28549Why should we thus see Justice rent, And Broken on wild Fortunes Wheele, So that such grievous Punishment, As Felons Merit, Good men Feele?
A28549Why then dost thou sigh, and groan?
A28549Why weepest thou?
A28549Will any one conceit, said she, that Men Can Do All things?
A28549Wilt thou deny, said she, that to Go is a Motion Natural to men?
A28549Wilt thou hear the Manner of it?
A28549Wilt thou therefore come to a reckoning with Fortune?
A28549but what is more Feeble than Ignorance, or Spiritual Blindness?
A28549but whence come the Good, if there be none?
A28549but who does not scorn, and despise one, that is a Slave to that most vile, and fraile thing, the Body?
A28549canst thou remove a Mind settled upon the Firm Principles of Truth, and Virtue, from the State of Peace, and Tranquillity?
A28549darest thou to Boast thy selfe in the Brightness of the Heavens?
A28549didst thou not learn when thou wast a Boy, that in( d) Jupiters Entry there are Two large Vessels, one holding Evil things, and the other Good things?
A28549dost thou not remember that( b) Paulus wept at the Calamity of King( c) Perseus, whom he had taken Captive?
A28549dost thou think ther''s any constancy in Humane Affairs, whereas''t is often seen that an Houres time makes an Healthy man return to the Durst?
A28549hast thou a mind to undergoe such false Accusations, as have been brought against me?
A28549how is it possible, quoth I, that I should ever Forget this?
A28549if they were left destitute of this great, and almost irresistable Assistance of Nature encouraging, and directing them?
A28549is it Shame, or Stupidity that hath seized on thee?
A28549is it because they are Ignorant of the True Good?
A28549is it not Gold, or great Heaps of Mony?
A28549is that feeble and without strength, which is unquestionably to be prefer''d before All things whatsoever?
A28549or could my Condemnation Fore determin''d Qualify Those men to be my accusers?
A28549or that on the contrary it deserves the greatest Veneration?
A28549or what it is that the Whole Course of Nature Tends unto?
A28549quoth she: dost thou suppose that It is Obscure, and Ignoble, or that It shines with the Brightness of the greatest Glory?
A28549shall I Deny what I am Accus''d of, that I be not a shame to thee?
A28549shall we be like them, whom we have demonstrated to be no other than a sort of Irrational Creatures?
A28549they that boast of the Goods of the Body, how small, how weak a Possession do they rely on?
A28549thou shalt be hurried through all manner of Hardships, and never be in Safety ▪ wouldst thou lead a Voluptuous life?
A28549what Goods, that thou mightest justly call Thine own, have we taken from thee?
A28549what canst thou Enforce upon a Soule that has Attein''d to it''s proper Freedome?
A28549what else, quoth I?
A28549what if I have not wholly withdrawn my selfe from thee?
A28549what if this very Inconstancy of mine be a just cause why thou shouldest hope for Better things?
A28549what is Death it selfe, but only the Awakening of our nobler Faculties to the Participation of a freer, and more enlarged life?
A28549what is the best kind of Riches?
A28549what is the loud complaint of Tragedies, but that Fortune disregards, and overturns the happiest Kingdomes?
A28549what is their Sickness, but Vice?
A28549what, quoth I?
A28549what, said I?
A28549what?
A28549where thou didst so often sit, and discourse with me, touching the Knowledg of things both Divine, and Humane?
A28549who depends upon his Servants to make him seem to be Mighty?
A28549who is continually in fear of those, whom he keeps in Awe?
A28549why art thou ravisht with vain Joyes?
A28549why dost thou embrace External things, as if they were Thine own?
A28549why dost thou flow with Tears?
A28549why holdest thou thy peace?
A28549why not?
A28549wilt thou endeavour to gather Riches?
A53058''T is true, some talk of the seed of Metals, but who with all his diligent observations could find it out as yet?
A53058( who is but a single part of nature) hath given him by God the power and a free will of moving himself, why should not God give it to Nature?
A53058Again, your Author askes, What glue or cement holds the parts of hard matter in Stones and Metals together?
A53058Also I might ask them, what they conceive the natural mind of man to be; whether material or immaterial?
A53058Also I would ask them, whether there can be many, or but one Idea of God?
A53058And are not Animals, Vegetables and Minerals inclosed in the Elements?
A53058And do not Stones produce Fire?
A53058And doth not Earth produce Metal?
A53058And whether they do not make there Aphorismes and Theoremes by their manner of Intelligence?
A53058And why may not Minerals and Elements be produced by the way of Eggs as well as Vegetables and Animals?
A53058As for example, Animal Kind, have they not Internal and External Parts, and so Internal and External Motions?
A53058As for your other question, Whether there be more then five Senses?
A53058Besides, how do they know that all bodies would rest in the Center of this terrestriaal Globe, if they came thither?
A53058Besides, how is it possible to find out the onely cause by so numerous variations of the effects?
A53058But I pray give me leave to ask, Madam, whether the solid Parts are not Instruments for the nourishment of the Venal blood?
A53058But I would fain know the cause which makes Ferment?
A53058But as for the question, whether there be nothing in the Universe, but meer body?
A53058But concerning Artists, you would fain know, Madam, whether the Artist be beholden to the conceptions of the Student?
A53058But concerning Water, you may ask me, Madam, Whether congeal''d Water, as Ice, if it never thaw, remains Water?
A53058But from whence came this Transgression?
A53058But if Nature hath power from God to produce all kinds of Vegetables, Minerals, Elements, Animals, and other sorts of Creatures, Why not also Man?
A53058But if the Soul be Incomprehensible, how then doth he know that she is a light, and not onely a light, but a glorious and splendorous light?
A53058But if two Twins, as it may fall out, should be born united in one body, I would fain know then, whether they would have two souls, or but one?
A53058But then I ask, From whence comes saltness and sowreness?
A53058But then you may ask me, Why a long hollow pipe doth convey a voice to the ear more readily, then any large and open place?
A53058But when she came to my Chamber, I was casting up some small accounts; which when she did see, What, said she, are you at Numeration?
A53058But you ask whether Nature hath Infinite souls?
A53058But you may ask, Whether one extreme can change into another?
A53058But you may say, What doth the sitting Hen contribute then to the production of the Chicken?
A53058But you will say, How comes it, that many creatures may be made by one or two?
A53058But you would fain know, how Nature, which is Infinite Matter, acts by self- motion?
A53058But you would fain know, whether fire, if it were left at liberty, would not turn to a Globous figure?
A53058But, I would fain know the reason, why your Author is so unwilling to make God the Author of Death, and Sickness, as well as of Damnation?
A53058But, says your Author, Let us see, if all their heads laid together can contrive the anatomical Fabrick of any Creature that liveth?
A53058Can we say, Man hath not a free Will, because he hath not an absolute free Will, as God hath?
A53058Certainly, when he saw the Immortal Soul in a Vision, to be a formal Light, how could he discern what he saw, without Reason?
A53058Doth it imply any Impiety or Irreligiousness?
A53058Doth not God punish, as well as reward?
A53058Doth this oppose the omnipotency and Infinite wisdom of God?
A53058First, you desire to be informed what I mean by Phantasmes and Ideas?
A53058For how can motion, being no substance, but onely a mode, quit one body, and pass into another?
A53058From whence came his Free- will?
A53058From whence came this Perswasion?
A53058From whence came this Pride?
A53058From whence came this ill Nature?
A53058Have not all men one kind of soul, and the same faculties of mind?
A53058Have they not reason to praise God for their happiness, and shall they not remember the Mercies of God, and the Merits of his Son?
A53058He says it is Blasphemy; But how will he prove it?
A53058How could he distinguish between Light and Darkness, without Reason?
A53058How could he know the Image of the Mind to be the Image of God, without the distinguishment of Reason?
A53058How, says he, can they in framing several parts confer notes?
A53058I answer, I would fain know the reason why not; for I am confident that no man can in truth affirm the contrary: What is Life, but sensitive Motion?
A53058I pray consider, Madam, is there any thing in Nature that is without motion?
A53058I''le conclude with your Authors question, What the cause is, that a man doth not feel the weight of Water in Water?
A53058If they say many, then there must be several, distinct Deitical Ideas; if but one, Where doth this Idea reside?
A53058Is it not blasphemy to make the Infinite God of a frail and humane shape, and to compare the most Holy to a sinful Creature?
A53058Is not God able to give such power to Matter, as to an other Incorporeal substance?
A53058Lastly your desire was to know, Whether a part of matter may be so small, as it can not be made less?
A53058Likewise do not Fruits, Roots, Flowers and Herbs, produce Worms?
A53058MADAM, I Received your questions in your last: the first was, Whether there be more body compact together in a heavy then in a light thing?
A53058MADAM, MY answer to your Authors question, Why flame ascends in a pointed figure?
A53058MADAM, SInce I spake in my last of the adoration and worship of God, you would faine know, whether we can have an Idea of God?
A53058MADAM, YOur Author demands, Whether there was ever any man, that was not mortal, and whether there be any mortal that had not a beginning?
A53058MADAM, YOur desire is to know, since I say Nature is Wise, Whether all her parts must be wise also?
A53058MADAM, YOur desire is to know, why sound is louder in a Vault, and in a large Room then in a less?
A53058Nay, for what use should God have created such a number of different simples, Vegetables, and Minerals, if one could do all the business?
A53058Nay, is it not an absurdity, to confine and inclose that Incomprehensible Being in a finite figure?
A53058Nay, why may not the whole World be likened unto an Egg?
A53058Next I''le ask you, Whether a Consumption be a disease, or not?
A53058Next you desired to know, VVhether there can be an artificial Life, or a Life made by Art?
A53058Next, how Nothing can depart and die?
A53058Next, you desire my opinion of Vacuum, whether there be any, or not?
A53058Next, you desire to know, Whether Nature or the self- moving matter is subject to err, and to commit mistakes?
A53058Next, your question is, what I do understand by Sensitive Life?
A53058Onely one Question I will add, Whether the Soul be subject to Sickness and Pain?
A53058Perchance you will say the Hands; but I answer, how can it be the Hands motion, if it be in the Instrument?
A53058Shall or can we bind up Gods actions with our weak opinions and foolish arguments?
A53058So if a particular Creature hath such opposite qualities and mixtures of corporeal motions, what will the Creator have which is self- moving Matter?
A53058Surely, Madam, it exceedeth my understanding; for, first, I can not conceive how life, which is a meer Nothing, can be a lodging to something?
A53058The eleventh question is, What is meant by Natural Theology?
A53058The fifth question, is, Whether the greatest man have always the greatest strength?
A53058The first question is, Why wet Linnen is dried in the Air?
A53058The fourth question is, Why the flame of spirit of Wine doth consume the Wine, and yet can not burn or hurt a linnen cloth?
A53058The fourth question was, Why a Basilisk will kill with his eyes?
A53058The ninth question is, Whether Finite Creatures can be produced out of an Infinite material cause?
A53058The second question is, Why Water and Wine intermix so easily and suddenly together?
A53058The second question is, Why fire doth not alwayes flame?
A53058The seventh question, is, Whether the Earth be the Center of Matter, or of the World?
A53058The sixth question, is, Whether this World or Vniverse be the biggest Creature?
A53058The tenth question is, Whether the Elements be the onely matter out of which all other Creatures are produced?
A53058The third question is, Why some few drops of water sprinkled upon fire, do encrease its flame?
A53058Then some might ask from whence came sin?
A53058Thus all was made by Gods Command, and who executed his Command but the Material servant of God, Nature?
A53058What difference is there not amongst Grapes, as the Malago, Muscadel, and other Grapes, and so of all the rest of Vegetables?
A53058What reason of absurdity lies herein?
A53058Whence came his Fall?
A53058Why shall Reason, which is the chief part of the natural Soul, be wanting?
A53058Why should they take so much pains in studying the various causes, motions, and tempers of diseases, if one medicine had a general power over all?
A53058You may ask me how that can be?
A53058You may ask me, what are digestive motions?
A53058You may ask me, what is meant by strong lines?
A53058You will ask me, Madam, What then, is Memory the Cause of Speech?
A53058You will say, How can Rest be a motion?
A53058You will say, How can a finite part have an Idea of infinite nature?
A53058Your Fifth question is, Whether Animals are not generated by the way of Metamorphosing?
A53058Your Seventh question is, Whether all Animals, as also Vegetables, are made or generated by the way of Eggs?
A53058Your Sixth question is, Whether a whole may be made out of a part?
A53058Your Tenth question is, Whether Souls are producible, or can be produced?
A53058Your eighth question is, Whether the Sensitive Matter can and doth work in it self and its own substance and degree?
A53058Your fifth question is, Whether this inanimate Matter do never rest?
A53058Your fifth question was, Why an Asp will kill insensibly by biting?
A53058Your fourth question is, How it comes that Snow and Salt mixt together doth make Ice?
A53058Your fourth question is, What this sensitive matter works upon?
A53058Your fourth question is, Whether an Animal Creature is perfectly shaped or formed at the first Conception?
A53058Your nineth question is, Whether the Sensitive Matter can work without taking patterns?
A53058Your second question is, Whether the Production or Generation of animals is as the Conceptions of the Brain, which the Learned say are Immaterial?
A53058Your second question is, Why the surface of water seems to be concave in its middle, and higher on every side?
A53058Your second question was, How it came, that the mind and understanding in many did die or dissolve before the body?
A53058Your second question was, Why a man''s hand can not break a little hard body, as a little nail, whereas yet it is bigger then the nail?
A53058Your seventh question is, Whether that, which I name the rational part of self- moving Matter makes as much variety as the sensitive?
A53058Your sixth question was, Why a Dog that rejoyces, swings his tail, and a Lyon when angry, or a Cat when in a fear, do lift up their tails?
A53058Your tenth question is, How it is possible, that numerous figures can exist in one part of matter?
A53058Your third question is, What makes frozen water apt to break those Vessels wherein it is contained, in the act of freezing or congealing?
A53058Your third question is, Whether Animals may not be produced, as many Diseases are, by contagion?
A53058Your third question is, Whether this sensitive self- moving matter be dense or rare?
A53058Your third question was, Why a man, being bitten by a mad Dog, is onely distempered in his mind, and not in his body?
A53058and do you think, Madam, that any thing can move it self without life, sense and reason?
A53058and how can the Image of God concern but one Part of the Soul, and not the other?
A53058and is not death a punishment for our sin?
A53058and might not God endue this Matter with Sense and Reason, as well as he endued Man?
A53058and not onely condemned for what can not be helped by reason of the variety of irregular motions, but what can not be helped in Nature?
A53058and thirdly how Something can become Nothing?
A53058and what difference is there not between the natural moisture of an Animal, and the natural moisture of Water?
A53058and whether they be little or great?
A53058by what language or speech can they communicate their Counsels one to another?
A53058for what Man knows, how and when God created Nature?
A53058not onely in their shapes, but also in their natures, tempers and dispositions?
A53058or Bees of the several sorts of juices of Flowers, then Men?
A53058or as they have several offices, so have they several parts of the design?
A53058or have a better communication betwixt them, then Bees that fly several ways, meeting and joyning to make their Combes in their Hives?
A53058or whether Birds do not know more of the nature and degrees of Air, or the cause of Tempests?
A53058or whether Worms do not know more of the nature of Earth, and how Plants are produced?
A53058or whether it be transferred out of my hand into the ball?
A53058or whether the destroying of the enemies Army be not more advantageous, then the loss of some few friends?
A53058surely you will say it was a Supernatural and God- like action, why then will you apply Natural Rules to a God- like and Supernatural Action?
A53058that which is named an Elemental fire, or any other sort of fire?
A53058what is Reason, but rational motion?
A53058which humor certainly is not made in the lips of the wound, but in the body: Also whence comes the humor that makes the Gout?
A48892115. what makes him contend for one single Article with the exclusion of all the rest?
A48892A very demonstrative Reason, is it not, that therefore they can not be different Expressions of the same thing?
A48892And I ask him, whether it be his Errand, as one of our Saviour''s Ambassadors to turn it thus into Ridicule?
A48892And are they ready to cry out to your content, Great is Diana of the Ephesians?
A48892And having made this Declaration of himself to be the Messiah, he asks Martha, Believest thou this?
A48892And here I ask you, whether for this omission, you will pronounce that the Church of ▪ England disguises the Faith of the Gospel?
A48892And if it be so dangerous, so criminal to miss any of them, why is it a folly in me to move you to give me a compleat List?
A48892And is not the Reader, quoth he, satisfied that such Language as this hath real truth in it?
A48892And is this the Faith of Devils?
A48892And is thus a sincere and rightly directed study of the Scriptures, that Men may understand and profit thereby, incouraged?
A48892And must the Reader understand your passing them by to be a publishing to the World your contempt of them?
A48892And they said, what need we any further witness?
A48892And thus far who can but allow his Wisdom?
A48892And to conclude, I ask him, whether all those that he has set down are not Fundamental necessary Articles?
A48892And to those who yet doubted that he was so, and made this Objection; What need was there of a Saviour?
A48892And what I beseech him are the other?
A48892And what is that Faith according to the Unmasker?
A48892And what may we reasonably think they designed to make known to the People by it?
A48892And what then shall we be the better for all this stir, and noise of Fundamentals?
A48892And where now is there any thing like a Contradiction in this?
A48892And who can blame him for it?
A48892And who can deny, but he has chose a fit Imployment for himself?
A48892And, How it appears, that this is the design of my whole Undertaking?
A48892Answer, What need any Answer to disprove where there is no Proof brought that reaches the Proposition in Question?
A48892Are not all the Doctrines necessary for our time contain''d in his System?
A48892Are not two Sparrows sold for a farthing; And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father?
A48892Are they there not to be believed?
A48892At least why do you not quote those many Pages wherein I do it?
A48892But Good Sir, why is it a foolish Question in me?
A48892But besides the strength of Iudgment, which you have shew''d in this clear& cogent reasoning, does not your Memory too deserve its due applause?
A48892But did our Unmasker never hear of Unbelievers under a denomination distinct from that of Atheists, Turks, Iews, and Pagans?
A48892But for all that, Sir, may not a Man''s Question be serious, though he should chance to express it ill?
A48892But if any one extends my Words farther than to those they were spoke of, I ask whether that agrees with his Rules of Love and Candour?
A48892But in good earnest, Sir, if one should ask you, do you think no Books contain Truth in them which were Undertaken by the Procuration of a Bookseller?
A48892But is the understanding and believing this single Proposition, the understanding and believing all the Articles of Faith necessary to be believed?
A48892But this Creed of the Unmasker, which he talks of, where is it?
A48892But what does this make for His Fundamental Articles?
A48892But what is that to the purpose?
A48892But what is too hard for such an Unmasker?
A48892But who sees not that this is a mere Elusion?
A48892But why would he then venture upon Mr. Edwards, who is so very quick- sighted in these matters, and knows so well what villainous Man is capable of?
A48892Can all the Doctrines necessary for our time, be propos''d in the express words of the Scripture?
A48892Can the Devils thus believe him to be the Messiah?
A48892Can there be any thing more ridiculous, than this?
A48892Do those solemn Assemblies privilege it from containing the necessary Articles of the Christian Religion?
A48892Does he cease to be a Christian, who happens not to understand them just as the Creed- maker does?
A48892Does not he perceive, that the discarding all the Articles but ONE makes way for the casting off that too?
A48892Does not the Unmasker give here a clear Proof, that he is no Changeling?
A48892Doth not this plainly shew that this is all that is requir''d to be believed as necessary to make a Man a Christian?
A48892For I ask with him, p. 8. where can we be informed but in the sacred and inspired writings?
A48892For I demand those some Articles which you speak of, which are they?
A48892For I desire to know, what those other Articles are, that in the Preaching of our Saviour and his Apostles are repeated or urged besides this?
A48892For he that is Baptized only into a Faith that is not the Faith of a Christian, I would fain know how he can thereby be made a Christian?
A48892For if you do, why dare you not say so, and give it us all entire in plain Propositions?
A48892For what is it to the Shallowness or Depth of the Animadversions, who writ them?
A48892For what need they be at the pains of constantly reading the Bible?
A48892For whoever, but he, thought that a bare Exclusion, or passing by, was Defiance?
A48892For, if I ask him whether it be absolutely necessary in Christianity to obey every one of our Saviour''s Commands, what will he answer me?
A48892Have any of the Rulers believed in him?
A48892He saith unto them, But WHOM say ye that I am?
A48892His first Question here to his Disciples, v. 13. is, Whom do men say that I the Son of Man am?
A48892His next Words, p. 104. are very remarkable: They are O how he[ the Vindicator] grins at the Spirit of Creed making?
A48892His words are, Do we not know that the four Gospels were writ to and for Believers, as well as Unbelievers?
A48892How comes then the Unmasker to distinguish these Dictates of the Holy Spirit into necessary and not necessary Truths?
A48892How does that appear?
A48892How should I know it?
A48892I ask him, whether those be all?
A48892I ask where does he use that reasoning?
A48892I ask whether it be possible for one to bring any thing more direct against himself?
A48892I ask whether that be perfect?
A48892I ask, were these other matters of Faith all the Unmasker''s necessary Articles?
A48892I have misrepresented his meaning; Let it be so: Where is the Irreligion of it?
A48892I have represented all the rest as useless to the making a Man a Christian?
A48892I hear you say it again, but want a Proof still, and ask where I assign that Ground?
A48892I remember the Pharisees treated the Common People with Contempt, and said, Have any of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
A48892If he answers, NO; I ask him which of our Saviour''s Commands is it not in Christianity absolutely necessary to obey?
A48892If he means an explicit Knowledge and Belief, why does he puzzle his Reader by so improper a way of speaking?
A48892If not, what are those other matters of Faith to the Unmasker''s Purpose?
A48892If not, why do you with so much outcry reprehend me, for not knowing them?
A48892If that will not content me, you are sure you can do nothing that will; If I require more, it is Folly in you to comply with me?
A48892If they did not, how can their Histories be called the Gospels of Iesus Christ?
A48892If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his houshold?
A48892In Answer to the Creed- maker''s Question, about his other Fundamentals found in the Epistles; Why did the Apostles Write these Doctrines?
A48892In answer to that, I demanded of him who was to explain them?
A48892In the next place, I ask, whether any one is a Christian who hath not the Faith of a Christian?
A48892In the next place, pray tell me, why would it be folly in you to comply with what I require of you?
A48892Is it a Form to be used for Form''s sake?
A48892Is it folly then for me to ask from you a compleat Creed?
A48892Is it not enough to rob us of our God, by denying Christ to be so; But, must they spoil us of all the other Articles of Christian Faith but one?
A48892Is it not requisite that we should know it and believe?
A48892Is it of no moment to know, what is required of Men to be believed; without a belief of which they are not Christians, nor can be saved?
A48892Is not this a worthy Imployment, and becoming a Preacher of the Gospel, to be a Sollicitor for Stationers- Hall?
A48892Is not this to be an errant Conjurer?
A48892Is that enough?
A48892Is there any Contradiction in holding of this?
A48892Is this all the explicit Faith a Christian need have?
A48892Is this set down to no purpose in these inspired Epistles?
A48892Let him therefore either confess these and the like Questions, Why did the Apostles write these?
A48892Let it be so, what do you infer from thence?
A48892Make the worst of it that can be, how comes it to be Irreligious?
A48892My passing them by then, are Passages published against the Epistles?
A48892Nay, does he think fit, that any such should live free from the Lash of the Magistrate, or from the Persecution of the Ecclesiastical Power?
A48892Nay, the far greatest part of them the History, they writ, does not any where so much as once mention?
A48892Now I ask, can any one more directly invalidate all he says here for the necessity of believing his Articles?
A48892Of what, I beseech you, is it an Abstract?
A48892Or can he be a Christian, and understand these words to be meant by our Saviour, in one sence, and deny his assent to them as true, in that sence?
A48892Or how can they serve to the end for which they were written?
A48892Or is consonant with his own Rule, p. 3. of putting candid Constructions on what Adversaries say?
A48892Or rather to the Authority of Christ and his Apostles residing in him?
A48892Or why is it folly in you to grant so reasonable a Demand?
A48892Or why, of all others, must you prescribe your guesses to me, when there are so many, that are as ready to prescribe as you, and of as good Authority?
A48892Or without proposing, and requiring a Profession of all, that is necessary to be believed to make a Man a Christian?
A48892Risum teneatis?
A48892So that the Passages I have published, containing a contempt of the Epistles, are extant in my saying nothing of them?
A48892That I cry down all Articles of Christian Faith but one?
A48892That I labour industriously to keep People in Ignorance; Or tell them, That there is no necessity of knowing any other Doctrines of the Bible?
A48892That I make it my Business to beat Men off from taking notice of any Divine Truths?
A48892That I speak as meanly of Christ''s Suffering on the Cross, and Death, as if there were no such thing?
A48892That I will not suffer Mankind to look into Christianity?
A48892That Iesus is the Messiah or Christ, is so often repeated in the New Testament?
A48892That there must be nothing in Christianity that is not ▪ plain and exactly level to all mens Mother Wit?
A48892That those two are but different Expressions of the same thing?
A48892The People take me, some for one of the Prophets, or Extraordinary Messengers from God, and some for another: But which of them do you take me to be?
A48892The Question is not, of what Original do you think the Messiah when he comes will be?
A48892Then said they all, art thou then the Son of God?
A48892Thirdly, I ask, whether he has the Faith of a Christian, who does not explicitly believe all the Fundamental Articles of Christianity?
A48892Those that are out of the Creed, or those that are in it?
A48892To what?
A48892Was it not that those they writ to might give their assent to them?
A48892Was it not, that those they Writ to, might give their Assent to them?
A48892We have heard it affirm''d by you over and over again, but the question still is, where is that way of arguing to be found in my Book?
A48892Were They all propos''d with the Articles of Iesus the Messiah?
A48892What does the Vnmasker mean by a General way?
A48892What just these?
A48892What must become of all the rest, which you have omitted?
A48892What need we have any other part of the New Testament?
A48892What now did our Saviour and his Apostles do?
A48892What shall we say to such an oblivious Author?
A48892What they are?
A48892What think you of the Messiah, whose Son is he?
A48892What were they to say?
A48892What, I beseech you, is your good reason too here, upon which you inferr Therefore,& c?
A48892What?
A48892When you have answer''d this Question, we shall then see which of us two is nearest the right?
A48892Where could there be found a better Speech- maker for the Atheistical Rabble?
A48892Where it is that I command my Reader not to stir a jot farther than the Acts?
A48892Where it is that I deride Mysteries?
A48892Where it is that I say that it can not be suppos''d that there are Fundamental Articles in the Epistles?
A48892Where the World is told in the Treatise that I publish''d, That the bare belief of a Messiah is all that is required of a Christian?
A48892Whether I do not all along plainly, and in express words, speak of the Priests of the World, preceding, and in our Saviour''s time?
A48892Whether a Man can believe particular Propositions, and not actually believe them?
A48892Whether all I have said of them be not true?
A48892Whether he knows, that the Doctrine proposed in the Reasonableness of Christianity,& c. was borrowed, as he says, from Hobbs''s Leviathan?
A48892Whether, in truth, this be not to accuse them with a Design to draw the Envy of it on me?
A48892Which in effect, what is it but to incourage ignorance, laziness, and neglect of the Scriptures?
A48892Which those Fundamental Articles are, which were obscurely publish''d, but not fully discovered, in our Saviour''s time?
A48892Which was, to publish to the World the Doctrine of Iesus Christ, that Men might be brought into his Religion?
A48892Whilst the Pulpit and the Press have so often had up the Name of Theists or Deists, has that Name wholly scaped him?
A48892Who can entertain such a thought?
A48892Who gave him this Power over the Oracles of God; to set up one, and debase another at his pleasure?
A48892Who made him a Chuser, where no body can pick and chuse?
A48892Who made him a Judge or Divider between them?
A48892Who, but an arrant Unmasker, would contradict himself so flatly in the same breath?
A48892Why did the Apostles write these Doctrines, was it not, that those they writ to, might give their assent to them?
A48892Why did the Apostles write these Doctrines?
A48892Why is this sometimes urged without the mentioning of any other Article of Belief?
A48892Why should not every one of these Evangelical Truths be believed and imbraced?
A48892Why then did he not make a Separation between the Doctrines in the Epistles, and those other Matters that are treated of there?
A48892Why then does every one urge and make a stir about Fundamentals, and no body give a List of them?
A48892Why then must there be one Article, and no more?
A48892Why, I beseech you, is mine a foolish Question to ask, What are the necessary Articles of Faith?
A48892Why, if the Unmasker may be believed, they went up and down with danger of their Lives, and Preach''d to the World ▪ What did they Preach?
A48892Why?
A48892Would it not be useful to me to be set right in this Matter, if so, why is it folly in you to set me right?
A48892Would not that be an excellent way to propagate Light and Knowledge, by tying up all Men to a bundle of Articles of his own culling?
A48892Would not this be to deny our Saviour''s Veracity, and consequently his being the Messiah sent from God?
A48892Would you have me so foolish to take a List of Fundamentals from you, who have not yet one for your self?
A48892Yes, verily: And if so, What was it that made them Christians, before their Assent to these Doctrines was required?
A48892You grant there are Articles necessary to be believed for Salvation: would it not then be Wisdom to know them?
A48892You have said it more than once already; I demand of you to shew me where?
A48892You say it, and had said it before: But I ask you, as I did before, where I did so?
A48892Your Questions were, why this Article is so often proposed?
A48892and make the Gain of the Gentlemen of Paul''s Church- yard a Consideration, for or against any Book writ concerning Religion?
A48892nay, did they not require assent to them?
A48892nay, is it not our Duty to know and believe them?
A48892neither more nor less?
A48892nor are yet resolved with your self, what Doctrines are to be put in, or left out of it?
A48892of the Acts, What shall I do to be saved?
A48892of what I beseech you?
A48892or ought to have such an Interpretation put upon it?
A48892or the like?
A48892to perswade Men to believe, that Iesu ● was the Messiah?
A48892was it not that those they writ to, might give their assent to them?
A48892was it not that those they writ to, might give their assent to them?
A48892who, I think, are not perfectly agreed with you, or one another in Fundamentals?
A48892would you answer him, that it was folly in you to comply with him, in what he desired?
A53049After all this, the Emperess desired the Worm- men to give her a true Relation how frost was made upon the Earth?
A53049After this my later Thoughts asked, how it came that the Inanimate part of Matter had more degrees then the Animate?
A53049After this, The Emperess asked them, What kind of substance or creature the Air was?
A53049After this, the Emperess desired the Spirits to inform her where the Paradise was, whether it was in the midst of the World as a Centre of pleasure?
A53049Again, the Emperess asked them, whether there were any Non- beings within the Earth?
A53049Again, the Emperess asked, whether the first Man gave names to all the several sorts of Fishes in the Sea, and fresh waters?
A53049Again, the Empress enquired, Whether they had several Forms of Worship?
A53049Again, they may ask, Whether an Idea have a colour?
A53049Again: Some may ask, Whether those intermixed parts continue always together in their particulars?
A53049Again: if a Painter should paint Birds according to those Colours the Microscope presents, what advantage would it be for Fowlers to take them?
A53049And if this be true of Matter, why may not the same be said of self- motion, which is Sense and Reason?
A53049And since it is in your power to create such a world, What need you to venture life, reputation and tranquility, to conquer a gross material world?
A53049And yet who dares deny that they all consist of Matter, or are material?
A53049Animate, and Inanimate; and no more degrees of Animate, but Rational, and Sensitive?
A53049As for example; how well was the World governed, and how did it flourish in Augustus''s time?
A53049But I would ask him, what Notions are, and whence they come; and, if they be pictures or patterns of all things in Nature, What makes or causes them?
A53049But I would fain know what he means by the action of the first Mover, whether he be actually moving the world, or not?
A53049But after some short stay in the Court, the Duchess''s soul grew very Melancholy; the Emperess asking the cause of her sadness?
A53049But how came it then, replied she, that the Serpent was cursed?
A53049But how is it possible, replied my later Thoughts, that the inanimate part of matter can be living and self- knowing, and yet not self- moving?
A53049But how, said the Emperess, can the Fish- men do me service against an Enemy, without Canons and all sorts of Arms?
A53049But if I was to argue with those that are so much for Animal Spirits, I would ask them, first, whether Animal Spirits be self- moving?
A53049But is none of these Worlds so weak, said she, that it may be surprised or conquered?
A53049But it may be questioned, Whether all cold and hot winds do bring their heat and cold along with them out of such hot and cold Countries?
A53049But perchance some will say, How can there be several sorts of points, since a point is but a point?
A53049But said she again, Is it a sin then not to know or understand the Cabbala?
A53049But some may say, How is it possible that: there can be a motion of bodies without an empty space; for one body can not move in another body?
A53049But some may say, It is impossible that a body can make it self bigger or less then by Nature it is?
A53049But some might ask, What makes or causes this imitation in several sorts of Cretures?
A53049But the Emperess seeing they could not agree concerning the cause of Wind, asked, whether they could tell how Snow was made?
A53049But then my later Thoughts asked, that when a particular Motion ceased, what became of it?
A53049But then perhaps they will ask me, what colour the Mind is of?
A53049But what Creature in the Universe is able to describe the Thoughts or Notions of God?
A53049But what do you think, said the Emperess, of Good Spirits?
A53049But you''l say, How can Infinite be a principle of particular Finites?
A53049But, asked the Empress, Have they no Congregation of their own, to perform the duties of Divine Worship, as well as Men?
A53049But, proceeded the Emperess, How are you sure that God can not be known?
A53049But, said my later Thoughts, if a body be divided into very minute parts as little as dust, where is the colour then?
A53049But, said the Emperess, who gave the names to the several sorts of Fish?
A53049Fifthly, I would fain know, when those Atomes are issued from the object, and entered into the eye, what doth at last become of them?
A53049First she enquired of the Fish- men whence the saltness of the Sea did proceed?
A53049First they asked, how it was possible, that that part of Matter which had no innate self- motion, could be moved?
A53049First, It may be asked, Whether the Parts of a Composed figure do continue in such a Composition until the whole figure be dissolved?
A53049First, she enquired of the Worm- men, whether they had perceived some within the Earth?
A53049Having thus finished their discourse of the Sun and Moon, the Emperess desired to know what Stars there were besides?
A53049Hereupon the Emperess commanded the Fly- men to ask some of the Spirits, whether they would be pleased to give her a visit?
A53049How can there be Self- knowledg and Perception in one and the same part?
A53049How comes it then, replied she, that Men, even those that are of several opinions, have Faith more or less?
A53049How do we perceive Light, Fire, Air,& c?
A53049How is it possible, that Parts being ignorant of each other, should agree in the production of a figure?
A53049How is it possible, that several figures can be patterned out by one act of Perception?
A53049How so fine, subtil and pure a part as the Animate Matter is, can work upon so gross a part as the Inanimate?
A53049How the bare patterning out of the Exterior figure of an object, can give us an information of its Interior nature?
A53049I am satisfied, replied the Emperess, and asked further, whether there were any figures or characters in the Soul?
A53049If they affirm it, I am of their mind; if not, then I would ask, what causes in dead bodies that dissolution which we see?
A53049If this be so, replied the Emperess, How comes it then that you can move so suddenly at a vast distance?
A53049If this be so, replied the Emperess, then I pray inform me, whether all matter be soulified?
A53049If this be so, replied the Emperess, then certainly there can be no world of lives and forms without matter?
A53049If you do not understand them, replied the Emperess, hovv shall humane Creatures do then?
A53049Is it an Immaterial Spirit, or some corporeal being?
A53049Lastly, she asked, why they arched their roofs, and made so many Pillars?
A53049Lastly, some may ask, How it is possible, that such an infinite variety can proceed but from two degrees of Matter, to wit, Animate and Inanimate?
A53049Lastly, the Emperess asked the Bird- men of the nature of Thunder and Lightning?
A53049My later Thoughts asked, since Natures parts were so closely joined in one body, how it was possible that there could be finite, and not single parts?
A53049Next, I would ask whether any dead Creature have such Animal Spirits?
A53049Next, as for the Question, Whether forms be more noble then the matter?
A53049Next, how can that which is nothing( for all that is not Material is nothing in Nature, or no part of Nature) be generated and annihilated?
A53049Next, she asked, Why they preferred the Monarchical form of Government before any other?
A53049Of Snails and Leeches, and whether all Animals haue Blood?
A53049Of the Celestial Parts of this World; and whether they be alterable?
A53049Of the Celestial parts of this World, and whether they be alterable?
A53049Of the Image of the Soul, that is, her vital operation on the body?
A53049Of the States- men she enquired, first, Why they had so few Laws?
A53049Or if Microscopes do truly represent the exterior parts and superficies of some minute Creatures, what advantages it our knowledg?
A53049Rational, and Sensitive?
A53049SOme do question, Whether those Parts that are separated from animal Bodies do retain life?
A53049Secondly, It may be questioned, Whether there can be an infinite distance between two or more parts?
A53049She asked again, Whether Spirits were not like Water or Fire?
A53049She asked again, Whether all those Creatures that were in Paradise, were also in Noah''s Ark?
A53049She asked again, what they said to the number of Seven?
A53049She asked again, whether souls did chuse bodies?
A53049She asked further, Whether Gold could not be made by Art?
A53049She asked further, whether Matter was immovable init self?
A53049She asked further, whether humane bodies were not burthensome to humane souls?
A53049She asked further, whether the Spirits had not ascending and descending motions, as well as other Creatures?
A53049She asked further, whether the fiery Vehicles were a Heaven, or a Hell, or at least a Purgatory to the Souls?
A53049She asked further, which of these two Cabbala''s was most approved, the Natural, or Theological?
A53049She asked them further, Whether Spirits vvere of a globous or round Figure?
A53049She enquired further, Whether there was any Cabbala in god, or whether God was full of Ideas?
A53049The Emperess asked further, whether animal life came out of the spiritual World, and did return thither again?
A53049The Emperess asked further, whether in the beginning and Creation of the World, all Beasts could speak?
A53049The Emperess asked further, whether there was any Plastick power in Nature?
A53049The Emperess asked in what manner that could be?
A53049The Emperess asked the Fly- men, whether it was possible that she could be acquainted, and have some conferences with them?
A53049The Emperess asked them further, whether there was not a World of Spirits, as well as there is of material Creatures?
A53049The Emperess asked, Whence this disobedient sin did proceed?
A53049The Emperess asked, Whether they were real?
A53049The Emperess asked, how far numbers did multiply?
A53049The Emperess asked, what the height of her ambition was?
A53049The Emperess asked, whether it was not possible that there could be two souls in one body?
A53049The Emperess was very well satisfied with this answer, and asked further, whether souls did not give life to bodies?
A53049The Emperor ask''d, Are those good Playes that are made so Methodically and Artificially?
A53049The Emperor ask''d, Whether the Property of Playes were not to describe the several humours, actions and fortunes of Mankind?
A53049The Empress asked them, Whether they were Jews, Turks, or Christians?
A53049The Messenger asked at what time they should expect her coming?
A53049The first difference did arise about the question, How it came, that Matter was of several degrees, as Animate and Inanimate, Sensitive and Rational?
A53049The later said, How can motion be corporeal, and yet one thing with body?
A53049The second Question is, Whether Winds have the power to change the Exterior temper of the Air?
A53049Then I pray inform me, said the Emperess, Whether the Jews, or any other Cabbala, consist in numbers?
A53049Then my later Thoughts desired to know, whether Motion could be annihilated?
A53049Then my later Thoughts desired to know, whether there were not degrees of Motion, as well as there are of Matter?
A53049Then she asked the Flye- men, whether they had observed any in the Air?
A53049Then she asked them, Whether Art could produce Iron, Tin, Lead, or Silver?
A53049Then she asked them, Whether Divine Faith was made out of Reason?
A53049Then she asked them, whether Spirits could be naked?
A53049Then she asked, Whether pure natural Philosophers were Cabbalists?
A53049Then she asked, Whether the first Man did give names to all the various sorts of Creatures that live on the Earth?
A53049Then she asked, whether the different shapes and sorts of Vehicles, made the Souls and other Immaterial Spirits, miserable, or blessed?
A53049Then she asked, whether those seeds of Vegetables lost their species; that is, were annihilated in the production of their off- spring?
A53049Then she desired to be informed when Spirits were made?
A53049Then she desired to be informed, what opinion they had of the beginning of forms?
A53049Then she desired to be informed, whither Adam fled when he was driven out of the Paradise?
A53049Then she desired to know, whether Evil Spirits were reckoned amongst the Beasts of the Field?
A53049Then she desired to know, whether their Vehicles were made of Air?
A53049Then she enquired, Whether there were no more kinds of Creatures now, then at the first Creation?
A53049Then she inquired, whether there was no mystery in numbers?
A53049Then the Emperess asked them, vvhether there vvere any Atheists in the World?
A53049Then the Emperess asked them, where Heaven and Hell was?
A53049Then the Emperess asked them, whether all Matter was fluid at first?
A53049Then the Emperess asked, Whether they could speak to them, and whether they did understand each other?
A53049Then the Emperess asked, Whether they were living Creatures?
A53049Then the Emperess asked, whether it was not possible, that her dearest friend the Duchess of Newcastle, might be Emperess of one of them?
A53049Then the Emperess asked, whether the first Man did feed on the best sorts of the fruits of the Earth, and the beasts on the worst?
A53049Then the Emperess desired to be informed, whether all souls were made at the first Creation of the World?
A53049Then the Emperess enquired of them the reason, Why Springs were not as salt as the Sea is?
A53049Then the Empress desir''d to know the reason why the Priests and Governors of their World were made Eunuchs?
A53049Then what are You, having no Chaos found To make a World, or any such least ground?
A53049Then, I pray inform me, said the Emperess, what disguise those seeds put on, and how they do conceal themselves in their transmutations?
A53049They answered, That Perswasions were actions; but the Emperess not being contented with this answer, asked whether there was not a supernatural Evil?
A53049Thirdly, I would ask, whether those animal spirits be annihilated and generated anew?
A53049Well then, replied the Emperess, leaving this inquisitive knowledg of God, I pray inform me, whether you Spirits give motion to natural bodies?
A53049What difference is there between Self- knowledg, and Perception?
A53049What kind of Cabbala asked the Spirits?
A53049What need is there of imparting Motion, when Nature can do it a much easier way?
A53049What produces those great Precipices and Mountains of Ice which are found in the Sea, and other great waters?
A53049What, said the Emperess, are not Worms produced out of the Earth?
A53049What, said the Emperess, can any Mortal be a Creator?
A53049Whether Animal Parts separated from their Bodies, have life?
A53049Whether Artificial Effects may be called Natural; and in what sense?
A53049Whether Cold doth preserve Bodies from Corruption?
A53049Whether Fishes can live in frozen Water?
A53049Whether Nature be self- moving?
A53049Whether Perception be made by Patterning?
A53049Whether Water be fluid in its nature, or but occasionally by the agitation of the air?
A53049Whether Wood be apt to freeze?
A53049Whether an Idea haue a Colour, and of the Idea of of a Spirit?
A53049Whether in decoctions of Herbs, when congealed or frozen into Ice, the figures of the Herbs do appear in the Ice?
A53049Whether it be possible to make man, and some other Animal Creatures, flye as Birds do?
A53049Whether particular Parts or Figures be bound to particular perceptions?
A53049Whether the Inanimate Matter could have parts without self- motion?
A53049Whether the Inanimate Part of Matter, may not have self- knowledg as well as the Animate?
A53049Whether the Optick Perception is made in the Eye, or Brain, or in both?
A53049Whether the rational Parts can quit some Parts and join to others?
A53049Whether there be single Self- knowledges, and single Perceptions in Nature?
A53049Whether there could be Self- knowledg without Perception?
A53049Whether there may be a Remembrance in Sense, as well as there is in Reason?
A53049Which if so, I would enquire whence those effects do proceed?
A53049Why Fire in some cold Regions will hardly kindle, or at least not burn freely?
A53049Why those Winds that come from cold Regions, are most commonly cold, and those that come from hot Regions are for the most part hot?
A53049Why those particular knowledges and perceptions are not all alike, as being all but effects of one cause?
A53049Why, said the Emperess, are they enemies?
A53049Why, said the Emperess, do not your Poets actions comply with their judgments?
A53049also, if the self- moving part of Matter was of two degrees, sensitive and rational, how it came that Children could not speak before they are taught?
A53049also, why Springs did ebb and flow?
A53049and if it was perceptive, how it came that Children did not understand so soon as born?
A53049and if so, whether the Idea of God be coloured?
A53049and what are Philosophical Terms, but to express the Conceptions of ones mind in that Science?
A53049and whether it was by Nature, or a special Divine blessing?
A53049and whether it was not caused by roves of Ice falling upon each other?
A53049and whether they were of a dark, or a light colour?
A53049as for example, whether the same rational parts keep constantly to the same sensitive and inanimate parts, as they are commixed?
A53049between flowing Water, and ascending Fire?
A53049but if he did, what advantage would it be to the Beggar?
A53049especially so few?
A53049how many proud and stately Buildings and Palaces could ancient Rome shew to the world, when she was in her flower?
A53049if not, I ask, What is that which moves it?
A53049may not they be compared to the Fowls of the Air?
A53049said the Emperess, What can such sorts of Men do in the other World?
A39319''T is such a swinger, I can scarce get it out:''t is only, Sir, whether there be a God or not?
A39319''T was just so?
A39319''t is what?
A39319A Definition, say you or they( for I think you are all alike) is that — is that?
A39319A point, say you, is a body: and why?
A39319Afraid?
A39319After what manner, I prithee, Tim?
A39319Algebra?
A39319All this is very natural and Coherent, the passage being smooth and easie: but how shall we get from Hanging to Bristol?
A39319And I pray, Philautus, what do you think might be the reason of it?
A39319And I prethee, Tim, how differs this from what I said before?
A39319And I prethee, Tim, may not I know what those two things be, which thou dost prophesie will never be explain''d?
A39319And did not the Doctor, Tim, first nibble at my Writings and my Latin?
A39319And do you really think, Tim, that Algebra is good for any thing?
A39319And how can I help it, if Kings wo n''t live and act like men?
A39319And is not this very true, and useful besides?
A39319And now, Reader, tell me, art thou so void of conscience, reason, and all sense of thy own benefit, as not to carry home this Book?
A39319And then, I pray, what became of my absurd and rural detractors?
A39319And therefore being convinc''d, Philautus, that I was in the wrong, I 〈 ◊ 〉 only to know what is it, that a man has the power to will?
A39319And therefore in the next place, Tim, let me know of thee which of all words dost thou think to be the most proper to signifie the whole World?
A39319And therefore the first thing I would know of thee is this: whether''t is necessary that to morrow it shall rain, or not rain: what thinkest thou?
A39319And therefore why may not I be believed as well as other people, and why should I be said to wrest,& c.?
A39319And therefore, why should we play the Children any longer, and talk of willing, and choosing, and I know not what, and mean nothing thereby?
A39319And what of all this?
A39319And what then?
A39319And why?
A39319And why?
A39319And wo n''t you put in none of your own wild, non- sensical Jim- cracks, to interrupt the drift, and contexture of my reasons?
A39319Are they not Divines?
A39319Art thou, Reader, a single man?
A39319Best reasons?
A39319But I pray, Philautus, after what manner did you confess to the Bishop?
A39319But I pray, Philautus, how came it into your mind that the word of God does not oblige as much,( if not a little more) than the word of a Prince?
A39319But I pray, Sir, how came Cucumbers and Mustard into such an intimacy with As in praesenti?
A39319But I pray, Sir, how comes he by that mind?
A39319But I pray, Sir, how far is that same will that he has, in his own power?
A39319But have you not, Philautus, several Seats and Pews to place these Authors in?
A39319But hold Tim; who ▪ shall help us to the phantasm of Jeopardy?
A39319But how are you sure, Philautus, that the Prophet allow''d him any at all?
A39319But how came he, Sir, to dote so much upon his middle finger: does the Doctrine of Freewill make the middle finger grow fatter than all the rest?
A39319But how could I help it?
A39319But how do you know, Tim, that I''ll say or do any of these things?
A39319But how do you know, that by fancy I must needs mean the fancy of a Poet; and not that of a Geometrician?
A39319But how, Sir, came the Cucumbers to out- run the Mustard; for they are otherwise placed in the Grammar?
A39319But may there not be many other sufficient causes besides hope, fe ● … r, and such like passions, that may possibly move and determine the will?
A39319But what if he stays at home only to suck his middle finger?
A39319But what say you to Gods commanding Abraham to kill his own Son?
A39319But what''s all this for?
A39319But when do I speak, Tim?
A39319But where''s Poetry all this while?
A39319But why do I call it a Book: what am I mad?
A39319But, now I think on''t, why am I so mad as to trouble my self about this?
A39319By whom: by Sow- Gelders or Rat- Catchers?
A39319Canonical?
A39319Care about it, Sir?
A39319Chidden?
A39319Confute?
A39319Conscience?
A39319Did you ever know me to wrest, or force any thing to comply,& c.?
A39319Do n''t you see''t, Tim?
A39319Do n''t you see, Sir?
A39319Do you know what you have said?
A39319Do you mind it, Sir?
A39319Do you see Philautus?
A39319Do you see, Tim, how horribly you are mistaken?
A39319Do you so?
A39319Do you think Gentlemen that stand so much upon their honour and reputation, wo n''t demand better satisfaction than this?
A39319Does he then think there is any man not private besides him that is endued with Soveraign Power?
A39319Does the Bishop think that he himself is, or that there is any Universal man?
A39319Dost thou want Galen, Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Helmont,& c?
A39319Dost thou want a Book to measure the height of Stars, survey Ground, make a Dial,& c?
A39319Dost thou want a true, ● … ound, substantial, Orthodox Body of Divinity?
A39319Figura, says Euclid, est quae sub aliquibus,& c. How lubberly and Porter- like was that said?
A39319For in stealing, do n''t you put forth your hand, and take somewhat against Law?
A39319For suppose you go to your Cage, and ask your Pye, how do you do this Morning?
A39319For to what end is it to do over again that which is already done?
A39319For what I prethee?
A39319From my self; how so?
A39319Geometry well?
A39319HOW, Tim, not hang''d your self yet?
A39319Hast thou a Wife and Children, and are they dear to thee?
A39319Hast thou a mind to a compleat body of the Law, Civil Law, Canon Law, Common Law,& c?
A39319How can I be any such thing?
A39319How can they possibly be?
A39319How can you tell what I design''d?
A39319How could I help it, Tim?
A39319How do you know, Tim, but that Kings may have done so?
A39319How do you mean, Tim?
A39319How dost mean?
A39319How is it I pray, Sir?
A39319How is that?
A39319How much freedom then wouldst thou have?
A39319How much would you have me suffer: what, dye?
A39319How quick and nimble Philautus is?
A39319How shall we train in these, Sir?
A39319How so prethee?
A39319How so, I prethee?
A39319How so?
A39319How so?
A39319How so?
A39319How( according to you) is he bound?
A39319I bafl''d, I confuted?
A39319I deny Christ, suppose, and when that''s done I swear that I do it from the very bottom of my Soul: What of all this, says Philautus?
A39319I doubt that is a kind of a cross road, Tim; is it not?
A39319I hope you do n''t call this confuting,& c.?
A39319I ought?
A39319I pray of what profession are they that have been your great adversaries in this point?
A39319I pray, Sir, what do you mean by the word hanging?
A39319I pray, Sir, when the Bishop says that a man has the determination of himself, and dominion over his own actions: how do you mannage that absurdity?
A39319I prethee why not Ginger and Justice, or Ginger and Jeremiah, as well as Ginger and Jeopardy?
A39319I prethee, has not the man a name: and ca n''t you call him by that?
A39319I revoke in print?
A39319I steal from songs: I that have a thousand things that never were in any Book whatever?
A39319Implies a contradiction?
A39319In more than all things?
A39319Lastly, says he,''t is an art of measuring well: but how does that art measure, and by what?
A39319May not Tom Thumb, or Tom of Odcomb be made considerable after this manner?
A39319Must Gods hardening of Pharaohs heart come of thus also?
A39319Must he needs have gone for''t: could not you have dropt down a little soder, and relief upon such an unfortunate extravagancy?
A39319No?
A39319Nor yet?
A39319Now what do you make of all this?
A39319Now, Sir, is not this very thundering and dismaying?
A39319Now, Tim, let me ask thee one thing: whether is a mans mind best to be ghess''d at from the beginning of a sentence or end of it?
A39319Offend?
A39319On the contrary, what is it we mean when we express our dislike and disgust?
A39319Or if we ben''t yet armour- proof; what think you, Philautu ● …, of even or odd?
A39319Perhaps so: but what''s the reason, Tim?
A39319Phi I know that well enough: but what makes you say so?
A39319Pippin?
A39319Prove, Sir?
A39319Quantumvis, prorsus; what both in the same sentence?
A39319Quorsum enim actum agere?
A39319Quorsum enim actum agere?
A39319Really''t was, Tim?
A39319Right; why are you not?
A39319Say you so, quoth Philautus?
A39319Say you so, says he?
A39319Say you so: Egregiè cultam esse?
A39319Say you so?
A39319Secondly,''T is an Art of measuring well, says he: measuring well?
A39319Shall he?
A39319Should have said?
A39319Sixthly, The Fairies have their enchanted Castles and certain Gigantine Ghosts, that domineer over the Regions round about them: say you so?
A39319Sound?
A39319Surely thou wert at cross purposes last night: what has Bristol to do with hanging?
A39319Symbols?
A39319That is, will I who was born within these hundred years, be willing to be born above sixteen hundred years ago?
A39319Then I pray is not sin of his ordering?
A39319Therefore they necessarily met together: did they?
A39319Till when?
A39319To Poetry?
A39319To as little purpose?
A39319To avoid what?
A39319To do what: to stab and kill a man, and then to unstab and unkill him again?
A39319To what end, I prethee, Tim, should I wet and endanger my self when I need not?
A39319To what purpose?
A39319Well: and what then?
A39319Wh ● …, is there such a Town, any where upon the road, as Tumult?
A39319What a havock''s here about a little sin?
A39319What a mighty business is that?
A39319What a wondring you make, Tim, at this sentence?
A39319What an impertinent thing is this to look about for reason, in a case that need not at all to be reason''d?
A39319What are you doing, Tim?
A39319What did he do, say you?
A39319What did you know, Tim?
A39319What do I write against?
A39319What do n''t you know?
A39319What do you say?
A39319What dost tell me of Logick?
A39319What have I to do with what other people say?
A39319What have we more besides''s still?
A39319What have you there?
A39319What if I do say this: is this like the teeth of time, and your sieves and scummers?
A39319What is any mechanical Translator to me?
A39319What is it, Tim?
A39319What made you say that I had any such expectation or ambition?
A39319What need we then trouble our selves about such an old Metaphysical nicety, as indivisibile and divisibile in infinitum,& c.?
A39319What no end yet?
A39319What of all this?
A39319What shall we do now, Philautus?
A39319What shall we say?
A39319What should he do?
A39319What then?
A39319What then?
A39319What then?
A39319What think you then of the Israelites robbing the Aegyptians, according to Gods own direction and warrant?
A39319What times should we have, if these Stingers should once but find out the difference between injury and harm?
A39319What trick?
A39319What wo n''t you talk a little about the Trinity,& c?
A39319What would you then say, Philautus?
A39319What''s that I prethee?
A39319What''s that to you Goodman- two- shoes: am I bound to acquaint you with all that I can do?
A39319What''s that, Tim?
A39319What''s that, because he could avoid it?
A39319What''s that?
A39319What''s that?
A39319What''s the difference between Geometria and Geometra?
A39319What( and be hang''d) would you not have a Gentleman speak truth?
A39319What, Tim, do you make sport and a mock of such a serious thing as sin?
A39319What, Tim, dost deny by whole sale?
A39319What, Tim, prate against Kings?
A39319What, and hold freewill?
A39319What, can he pluck God Almighty out of his Throne: and banish him out of the World?
A39319What, han''t you done wondring yet, Tim?
A39319What, han''t you done your sentence yet?
A39319What, more mumping still?
A39319What, neither back- stroak, nor fore- stroak?
A39319What, neither in part nor whole?
A39319What, no decrees?
A39319What, shall I be thus rewarded for my great pains, and clemency?
A39319What, shall we have it again?
A39319What, that no body ever thought of before?
A39319Whereabouts are we got now, trow wee?
A39319Wherein does the iniquity of that expression lie?
A39319Whether there be a God or not?
A39319Who do you mean, Philautus, you nown dear self?
A39319Who says that God does not govern the World?
A39319Who scare people?
A39319Who was ever so silly as to say otherwise?
A39319Whom do you mean: the Hangman?
A39319Why is it?
A39319Why not?
A39319Why so?
A39319Why so?
A39319Why so?
A39319Why so?
A39319Why so?
A39319Why what, I pray, does the Sword of Justice towards the making the Gospel oblige?
A39319Why, Tim, can any Covenant, or bargain be made between a Man and a Beast?
A39319Why, Tim, must a man ask you leave to hope?
A39319Why, Tim, must thou needs have a definition of it, before thou goest about it?
A39319Why, can any man, Tim, make a Law, that is, give out some rule to be observed in a Nation, who has no Nation to give it to?
A39319Why, has not the word Smyrna by some means or other been formerly impuls''d upon you?
A39319Why, what do I there say?
A39319Why, what have I there?
A39319Why, what is it I prethee?
A39319With my tongue?
A39319Without being unjust?
A39319Wo n''t you?
A39319Yes surely: what hinders?
A39319Yes: and being a Science,''t is certainly a Science: but what then do you write against?
A39319You ca n''t say that I writ that Preface, can you?
A39319You do n''t prove it, Sir: do you?
A39319a witness of Christ be sent to those, that have had sufficient witnesses already?
A39319and did Naaman, I pray( when he was allow''d to go into the House of Rimmon) leave his tongue at home?
A39319and did it not, as it were, nod and give consent to what his head and shoulders did?
A39319and the Pye answers, how do YOU do this Morning?
A39319and then, says Philautus again: what wondring is here at my speaking two or three words?
A39319and whence hadst it, Tim?
A39319as Geometry it self?
A39319but how shall he be call''d?
A39319by Sun- Beams, or Rain- bows?
A39319cocks, stamps, stern, big?
A39319determine whether there be a God or not?
A39319did not Christ and they that followed him give Articles of Faith, and rules of an holy life?
A39319did not his tongue also bow together with his head?
A39319did you confess with your tongue, or how?
A39319did you ever see me tried?
A39319do you owe him a helping out, or do you lay in one aforehand?
A39319do you think it would not take much more time to remove and conquer such an absurdity as this, than any thing that is to be inferr''d from my opinion?
A39319does that mind come always upon him necessarily; so that it was impossible for him not to have had that mind: or does he himself choose that mind?
A39319does the Magistrate thrust down the Gospel into his Subjects bellies, with his Sword of Justice?
A39319don''t I know that Logick is the Mother of all Lyes, and the Nurse of your damn''d, confounded Metaphysical jargons?
A39319don''t you know, that there is a necessary coherence and order, a fatal and irresistible occasion, a drift, a clue and Chain of all thoughts?
A39319don''t you think it was for fear people should not only believe his doctrine, but count themselves oblig''d to practise it?
A39319dost keep a Journey- man to do that for thee?
A39319dost think I can endure to be eternally tormented with nothing but Tohu''s and Bohu''s and Jargons?
A39319dost think that I that began to reason, the very first day I went into breeches, will be bound up to your paltry, pimping, pedantick rules of Logick?
A39319figura est quae?
A39319has he promised to keep his promise: or has he sworn to keep his promise; or how has he so fasten''d himself, but that your principles will unty him?
A39319how huffing and swaggering is this Tim, because he has got a few of those same Church- men on his side?
A39319how i''st?
A39319how shall any man in the World understand which of the that''s you mean?
A39319how so was it?
A39319if, say you, the moral Philosophers had as happily discharged their duty,& c. As what?
A39319in what I prethee?
A39319is Geometry then an art of measuring Geometry well?
A39319is it not demonstrable, both from the nature of a Covenant, and the nature of a Beast, that there ca n''t possibly be any such thing?
A39319is speaking any thing more than a meer gesture of the tongue?
A39319is t ● … is you that pretend to such exactness of Language and have so little as to come in with your particular men?
A39319is there no way, Tim, to perswade thee to hang thy self?
A39319may not a Divine do, as well as other men, if they would but read and believe my Books; and such, as I got my learning out off?
A39319measuring what well?
A39319must not a man have Soveraign right to do it, and strength and authority to make it take effect?
A39319no prescience?
A39319of what I prethee?
A39319p. 29. most notoriously idle, and frivolous?
A39319shall he conspire to take away my life, because I endanger''d mine own, to save his?
A39319that same, or t''other same?
A39319that''s the mystery, Philautus; what method, what means, what instruments are the most natural, and proper for this purpose?
A39319to do what?
A39319to what I prethee?
A39319to whom do you mean, Philautus?
A39319was it not to prevent some such great absurdity and inconvenience that might have happen''d in the World?
A39319was not that, Philautus, think you the business?
A39319was that, Tim, a meer affliction too?
A39319well, suppose then that Martyr does signifie a witness: are you willing to be such an one for our Saviour?
A39319were you, Tim, at my elbow, when I squared the circle?
A39319what a Fool art thou, and all that, to talk t ● … us?
A39319what a deadly black, dull, phlegmatick story is that?
A39319what an impudent trick is this of Tim, to call for my best reasons?
A39319what are you mad, Philautus?
A39319what first- fruits?
A39319what have we to do with Pippin?
A39319what should I confute: all the madness of Bedlam crowded into one man?
A39319what strange words you put together again: what, would you have a man to choose his own choice, and to will his own will?
A39319what that?
A39319what, Tim, dost thou undertake to teach me what I should have said: don''t I know when to break of, and when to go on?
A39319what, Tim, wouldst thou have men confess with their Legs, or Shoulders?
A39319what, as the Table- Cloth is explain''d upon the Table: or as butter is explain''d upon bread?
A39319what, did this Cooper marry one of Pippins Daughters?
A39319where''s here any antecedent for the Relative quae?
A39319where''s the shackles, where''s the Pikes,& c?
A39319whereabouts are we now?
A39319who is so stupid as both to mistake in Geometry, and also to persist in it, when another detects his error to him?
A39319why not?
A39319why so; how am I oblig''d?
A39319would you have those things to be a breach of the Laws of that Kingdom, which we have supposed not to have taken notice of any such things?
A41639( 1) Doth not David say categoricly, that God bid,[ i. e. not morally but physicly] Shimei to curse?
A41639( 1) How many of them incline to the sentiments of Durandus, denying al immediate concurse to sinful acts?
A41639( 1) Was there not much Hatred of God, and Blasphemie in the crucifying of Christ?
A41639( 2) Take the character of impartial Writers, and who ever denied this to be Aquinas''s sentiment?
A41639( 3) Doth not Baronius confess, that God opened to him the way to this evil?
A41639( 4) And who are the Hunters?
A41639( 4) He yet further grants, That God delivers them unto a mind void of judgement: and what do we say more?
A41639( 7) How doth God send for these Fishers and Hunters?
A4163913, 14?
A4163919. where he demands, Whether the act of sin be from God?
A41639227. he saith, Who ever understood these words, if God wil, i. e. if God predetermine my wil to do this or that?
A4163923?
A41639244. grants?
A4163925. to deal subtilely with his servants, clearly implie an efficacious act of God upon their hearts, predetermining them to their act?
A41639266.?
A4163928. a sin intrinsecally evil?
A4163928. to predetermine the Crucifixion of Christ?
A416395. in these words, Vtrum Deus agat immediate in omni actione Creaturae, Whether God acts immediately in every action of the Creature?
A4163956?
A416396. discusseth this very Question, An Deus sit Author peccati, Whether God be the Author of sin?
A416398. also strongly demonstrate, That al our natural motions must arise from one first immobile Motor?
A41639A great concession indeed, which would our Adversaries fully come up unto, how soon and how easily might we put a period to this Controversie?
A41639Again, what doth Gods permission of sin implie, but a natural or judiciary Negation of that Grace he is no way obliged to give?
A41639Again, what fine- spun nonsense is this, God predetermined the Passion of Christs crucifixion, but not the Action?
A41639Albeit there be a disparitie in the sins, yet is not the paritie of reason for the one and the other the same?
A41639Albeit they are in regard of their Order Dominicans, yet are they not al in regard of their Doctrine Thomists?
A41639And are not al the Dominicans sworne Thomists?
A41639And are not the reasons as valid on the later as on the former side?
A41639And by whom is this Doctrine taught?
A41639And did not the poison of their sin lie in this maligne bloudy agreement?
A41639And do or need we assert more than this?
A41639And doth he not cease to worke good out of their evil workes?
A41639And doth not Predetermination to good as much destroy the wils indifference, and its power to act or not to act?
A41639And doth not that which is subservient in order of causalitie move after that which is the principal Agent?
A41639And doth not the Prescience of God include al these degrees of Certitude?
A41639And doth not this clearly speak the act of their sin, as wel as the effect?
A41639And doth not this fully overthrow his own Hypothesis and confirme ours?
A41639And doth not this leave him without al shadow of Excuse?
A41639And doth not this sufficiently demonstrate Gods concurse to the substrate mater of sin to be predeterminative?
A41639And doth not this sufficiently demonstrate, that the substrate mater of an act intrinsecally evil is predefined and predetermined by God?
A41639And here at what a miserable losse and confusion are they among themselves?
A41639And how can God direct, dispose, and over- rule them, unless he concur, yea predetermine the Wil to the entitative act?
A41639And how doth he prove this?
A41639And how so?
A41639And if God actuate or draw forth the wil to act, doth he not applie it to the act, and so predetermine the same?
A41639And if God concur to the wil in the production of the act, must he not also necessarily determine the wil to that act?
A41639And if God predetermine the wil to the natural act of that which is good, must he not also predetermine it to the natural act of that which is evil?
A41639And if Gods predefining decreeing wil give futurition to the substrate mater of sin, must not his predeterminative wil also give existence to it?
A41639And if Reprobation be absolute, must not also Gods concurse to the substrate mater of sin be efficacious and predeterminative?
A41639And if althings are of God, and by him, and for him, must not also the entitative act of sins intrinsecally evil be so?
A41639And if so, must he not then open Shimei''s heart to the mater of it?
A41639And if so, then must not the substrate acts of such judicial dereliction be from God?
A41639And if that were not opened to the entitative act, would the way to this evil have been ever opened?
A41639And indeed how frequently is this Hypothesis demonstrated by him?
A41639And is not this act as to its entitative mater, said to be put into their hearts by God?
A41639And is not this the proper notion whereby Aquinas describeth the Concurse of God to al acts of the wil?
A41639And is not this very act, entitatively considered, said to be put into them by God?
A41639And may we without apparent contradiction to the light of this Text exclude the entitative acts of any sins, though never so intrinsecally evil?
A41639And of those that grant immediate concurse in termes, how many yet denie it in realitie?
A41639And shal we not allow the same Dominion to God, which is allowed to the Potter over his Clay?
A41639And to whom doth this Prerogative belong but to God?
A41639And was he not the Instrument of this efficacious direction?
A41639And was it not also Gods pleasure or stated Decree, that they should thus agree?
A41639And were not Rehoboam and Ahab both lawful Kings?
A41639And what can this implie, but the bending his wil to the substrate mater, or entitative Act?
A41639And what is al active concurse but the determination of the same efficacious wil?
A41639And what is the effect of this judicial hardnesse, but to seal up sinners from the darknesse of mind to the darknesse of Hel?
A41639And what is this but to predetermine their wils to the substrate mater of those evil workes?
A41639And what makes the Jesuites denie Predetermination, but the like groundless perswasion?
A41639And what more rational than this assertion?
A41639And whence procedes al good but from the immense Ocean of good?
A41639And why?
A41639And yet is not this one of the most plausible subterfuges our Adversaries have to shelter themselves under?
A41639And yet was there any action more conducing to the glorie of God than this?
A41639And yet who dares denie, but that the retirement of the Sun out of this Hemisphere into the other is from God, as also its futurition?
A41639And yet, how much sin was there committed on the Assyrians part in punishing Israel?
A41639Are not al gracious acts and habits loged in human nature?
A41639Are not al natural Acts the effluxes of singular Supposites or persons?
A41639Are not al offers, for want of this predeterminative Grace, altogether uselesse to them, for whom it never was intended?
A41639Are not conditional Decrees inconsistent therewith?
A41639Are not the very same forged calumnies charged on us now- adays?
A41639Are not those very Acts, which are morally evil as to the Sinner, both naturally and morally good as to God?
A41639As he gives to every creature what shape he please, so can not he appoint them to what end he please, and direct them infallibly to that end?
A41639As if he had said, You indeed sent me to be a poor Vassal in Egypt; but did not God send me to be a Ruler over Egypt?
A41639As if he had said: Do not your own Poets tel you, that we are the off- spring of God?
A41639As if he had said: Has not the Potter an absolute dominion over the clay, to forme it into what shape he please?
A41639Ay, but more particularly,( 3) Who are these fishers?
A41639But I replie, how can God efficaciously Govern, Moderate, and Direct the Act, unless he be also the effective Cause thereof?
A41639But doth not sin as to the sinner denote a moral privation or deficience of that rectitude which ought to be in his act?
A41639But is it so indeed?
A41639But( 2) grant there be such a distinction in Nature, yet is it not most apparent, that it can have no place here?
A41639Can a second cause move it self to an act, unlesse it be first moved thereto by the first cause?
A41639Can any person or thing resiste the Divine efficacious wil?
A41639Can the Divine wil be moved by any thing but itself?
A41639Can there be any previous concurse immediately actuating and influencing the wil in its act, but what is predeterminative?
A41639Can this, with any tolerable sense be applied to the passive Vendition, or the effects and consequents of the selling Joseph?
A41639Can we find among the Greek Theologues any notices of this two- fold Libertie?
A41639Did he not make althings?
A41639Did he not then also make use of their politic contrivements, ambitiose wils, and rebellious affections as instruments in this worke?
A41639Did not God then as much predetermine the former as the later?
A41639Did not Gods efficacious direction termine on Shimei''s cursing as determined to such an object, namely David?
A41639Did not the main act of malediction arise from his wil?
A41639Did or would any terme this immediate concurse, so far to excite and actuate those powers, as that they are apt and habile for any congenerous Action?
A41639Did there not much blasphemie attend their wicked deeds?
A41639Do any of the Greek Philosophers make mention of any libertie, but what is essential to the wil and al human acts?
A41639Do not al mankind need an efficacious concurse and predeterminative wil to conduct them in al their affaires?
A41639Do not al these consequences hang together in an indissoluble chain of invict Reason?
A41639Do not our Adversaries hereby, according to their Principes, make God the Author of modal sins?
A41639Do not possible, and future differ?
A41639Do not the very Aristoteleans grant us, That action and passion are not really, but only modally distinct?
A41639Do not the very Jesuites, Suarez, Carleton, with others grant, That one and the same sinful act is produced by God and the human wil?
A41639Doth God indeed preside over the evil wils of men, and so, by an occult and invisible operation, temper and incline them to his own wil?
A41639Doth Sin as to Gods Concurse, include any more than a natural act, which is in regard of God and the conducibilitie it has to his glorie morally good?
A41639Doth he not in that very moment, wherein he is predetermined by God to the entitative act of Sin, voluntarily espouse and wil that act?
A41639Doth he not say here as much as we, abating only the terme Predetermination?
A41639Doth it not then belong to the infinite bonitie of God, to permit sins to be?
A41639Doth not Amyraldus, de Libero Arbitrio, as wel as we, make Libertie properly taken essential to the wil and al its Acts?
A41639Doth not God in the glass of his own Decrees foresee al acts and events of the human wil?
A41639Doth not Gods turning the heart in Scripture Phraseologie always import his effica ● … predeterminative concurse in applying the wil to its act?
A41639Doth not Grammatic construction, as wel as the mind of the words utterly reject such a glosse?
A41639Doth not Joseph ascribe the very active Vendition or action of Selling him, unto God?
A41639Doth not sacred Pagine expressely speak so much?
A41639Doth not the Election of the one necessarily implie the Reprobation of the other?
A41639Doth not the Scripture declare expressely the mode of Prescience?
A41639Doth not the wil necessarily depend on the previous concurse of the first cause?
A41639Doth not therefore the same determinate Counsel or wil of God predetermine the substrate mater of sin, as wel as any act morally good?
A41639Doth not this evidently denote an active efficacious permission of sin?
A41639Doth not this make the first cause to be second, because dependent; and the second cause first, because independent?
A41639Doth the Divine wil determine itself to the production of every singular individual effect?
A41639Doth this amount to less than a down- right contradiction?
A41639For did not the Jews prosecute Christ out of hatred and malice, yea malice blowen up to the sin against the Holy Ghost in some of them?
A41639For doth not a principal part of the Controversie depend on that scholastic Notion of Free- will?
A41639For how is it possible, that the second cause should act, unlesse the first move and applie it to its act?
A41639For if God concur on condition that man concur, doth God concur to that condition, or not?
A41639For if God totally concur to the substrate act of sin, must he not also concur to the wil that puts forth that act?
A41639For indeed, of what use are such personal Nominations and Reflexions, but to render us a grief to Friends, and reproche to Enemies?
A41639For is it possible that the second cause loged in time should give futurition to a thing from Eternitie?
A41639For is there any thing but God eternal?
A41639For was there not a world of enmitie and hatred of God in it?
A41639For what can make sinful acts future and so the object of Divine foreknowlege, but the wil of God, which gives futurition to althings?
A41639For what is efficacious concurse, considered actively, but the efficacitie of the Divine wil predetermining to act so or so?
A41639For wherein lay the malignitie of their sin, but in this, that they unanimously and peremtorily agreed or decreed to give up their power to the Beste?
A41639God turneth the heart whithersoever he w ● …, is it not meant of an efficacious concurse?
A41639Has mans infirme ambulatorie wil power to determine al such faculties, acts and effects as are subject to its Empire?
A41639Has not his Wil the same Rectitude which his Nature is invested with, and therefore whatever he wils must be right and holy, even because he wils it?
A41639Has not the Potter power over the clay,& c?
A41639Hath not the potter power over the clay,& c?
A41639He workes althings, but yet doth not worke althings?
A41639Hence doth not this certain Prescience infer as natural and absolute impossibilitie, as our predeterminative Concurse to the entitative act of Sin?
A41639How can these things agree?
A41639How comes it to passe, that they contend with so much heat and passion, for that which they confesse is not expressely delivered in Scripture?
A41639How easie is it by Aquaducts to turne waters this or that way as men please?
A41639How few of them agree on any one Principe or Medium for the solving this argument?
A41639How is it possible that any thing should passe from a state of mere possibilitie, contingence, and indifference, but by some cause?
A41639How is it possible, that God should influence the wil in the production of any act, without actuating or drawing forth the wil to act?
A41639How little did he intend to serve God herein?
A41639How many absurdities would follow hereon?
A41639How much would this concession conduce to put a period to this controversie, were our Adversaries but ingenuous in their assent and consent to it?
A41639How then is it possible, but that if God wil that the substrate mater of sin existe, it must necessarily existe, and in that manner as he wils it?
A41639How was God with him?
A41639If not, is there not then some act of the creature produced without Gods concurse?
A41639Is God the Ordinator of evil Wils?
A41639Is he not then the first Cause and Motor of al our motions?
A41639Is it not an approved Maxime in Philosophie, yea in Nature, that the cause is ever, at least in order of nature, before the effect?
A41639Is it not an end sufficient for the being of any creature, to be the glorie of any Attribute?
A41639Is it not the wil of God?
A41639Is it possible that these Phrases should be understood of a mere permissive wil?
A41639Is it possible then that God should predetermine or concur to the passion and not to the action of crucifixion?
A41639Is it so indeed?
A41639Is not Libertie constituted by them and the Arminians as the foundation of al Moralitie?
A41639Is not absolute Reprobation here, and that by the concession of Grotius, no friend thereto, clearly and fully asserted?
A41639Is not al grace a supernatural mode implanted in human nature?
A41639Is not every natural or entitative act individual or singular?
A41639Is not lying a sin intrinsecally evil?
A41639Is not the wil of God sufficiently potent to determine the wil of man in al its natural acts?
A41639Is not this a strange Comment, God turned their heart to hate his people, i. e. gave occasion of hatred, by doing good unto his people?
A41639Is not this great Babylon that I have built,& c?
A41639Is the soverain Lord tied to his Creature by any Law, more than what is in his own nature and wil?
A41639Is there any sin so intrinsecally evil, which has not some entitative act or subject as the substrate mater thereof?
A41639Is there any thing in the world purely, simply, and of it self sinful, without some substrate mater naturally good?
A41639Is there not hereby an effectual dore opened to a progresse into infinite?
A41639It is God, I wil send,& c.( 6) Why doth God send for them?
A41639It is confest, that God and the Sinner concur to the same sinful act materially considered; but yet is their Concurse the same?
A41639It''s true, the Sinner comes short of the Divine Law, and therefore sins, but doth God come short of any Law?
A41639May not this also be demonstrated from the very concessions of our Adversaries, who grant, that vitiositie follows not any Act as a natural Act?
A41639Must he not then applie their wils to the entitative act of those evil workes?
A41639Must not every second Cause as such be actuated and so determined by its first Cause and his efficacious Concurse?
A41639Must not the sinful qualities of al moral effects be imputed to the second particular cause, and not to the first universal cause?
A41639Must not then the substrate mater of al sinful motions, even such as are intrinsecally evil, be reduced unto God as the prime Motor?
A41639Must there not be a certitude of the Object, Medium, and Subject?
A41639Must they not then be al decreed absolutely by God?
A41639Must we not then also suppose two Crucifixions, one from God, and the other from the Jews?
A41639Need sinners any other facultie, power, Aptitude or Habilitie to sin, but the rational faculties depraved?
A41639Now how could God foresee this absolutely and infallibly, but in the predefinition or fore ordainment of his own Wil?
A41639Now how could the death of Christ be infallibly predicted, if it were not predefined and preordained by God?
A41639Now what doth Strangius replie to this?
A41639Now what is Gods efficacious direction, but a part of his efficacious predeterminative concurse?
A41639O Lord, why hast thou made us erre from thy ways, and hardened our hearts from thy fear?
A41639Of what use then can this distinction of a two- fold Libertie be?
A41639Or how can the omniscient God consider al the works of mens hearts, if he be not the former and fashioner of them al, as to their natural entitie?
A41639Or what certain prescience could he have of the salvation of any one elect soul, which wholly dependes on the death of Christ?
A41639Or, is not the entitative act of modal and substantial sins the same as to kind, namely a real physic or natural good?
A41639Or, wil it any way relieve the Calvinists in their conflicts both with Jesuites and Arminians, to say the wil is sometimes free and sometimes not?
A41639Ought we not to be as cautelous in exemting the Sacred Majestie of God from having any hand in the least sin, as in the greatest?
A41639Pilate having power of life and death committed to him by Tiberius Cesar, he threatens our Lord therewith: and what replie doth our Lord make?
A41639Shalt thou indeed reign over us?
A41639Should not the holy God then, according to this sense, be the Author of a sin intrinsecally evil?
A41639Si ergo servi sunt peccati, quid se jactant de libero arbitrio?
A41639So now, it was not you that sent me hither, but God?
A41639So that to distinguish active Vendition from passive, what is it but to distinguish one and the same Act from it self?
A41639Suppose he predetermine to the entitative act of sin, yet must we thence necessarily conclude, that he predetermines men to sin formally considered?
A41639Surely to die, and how?
A41639The Babylonians, as it is generally said: But,( 5) Who is it that sends for these Fishers and Hunters?
A41639The sin which he governs, is it not only sin in regard of the Creatures wil, not in regard of his wil?
A41639Then saith Pilate unto him, Knowest thou not, that I have power to crucifie thee, and have power to release thee?
A41639This is most evident; because whatever is future was so from Eternitie; for God foreknew it to be so: otherwise, how could his knowlege be certain?
A41639To talk of a natural action in genere, or specie, what a wild conceit is this, that which al true Logic and Philosophie both new and old contradicts?
A41639Was it not from God?
A41639Was not Rehoboam Solomons Son, whom God made King?
A41639Were not a modest 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 or suspension of assent more agreeable to such a Confession?
A41639What Logic or wit of man can reconcile these Notions?
A41639What Logic, Reason, or sense is this?
A41639What could be more plainly and distinctly expressed to demonstrate Gods immediate concurse to that entitative act of Absalom''s Sin?
A41639What could be said more acutely and distinctly for the demonstration of our Hypothesis?
A41639What could be said more acutely, demonstratively and divinely for the deciding our controversie, would men but receive it?
A41639What could be said more for the predefinition and predetermination of the substrate mater of an act intrinsecally evil?
A41639What could more expressely be said for the asserting Gods efficacious predeterminative concurse to the substrate mater of sin?
A41639What doth Strangius replie to this?
A41639What doth this note?
A41639What is soverain Dominion, but an absolute right to dispose of what is our own?
A41639What is supernatural good but a ray of the divine Nature irradiated into human Nature, and seated therein as its proper subject?
A41639What is the active principe of al Divine Concurse, but the Divine wil?
A41639What is this but to exclude the far greatest part of human acts from being formed and framed by God?
A41639What more commun with him, than this grand Effate, That God applies al second causes to their act?
A41639What more expressely overthrows the soverain Dominion and universal Concurse of God, than such a general indifferent Concurse?
A41639What other Aptitude or Habilitie doth God give unto the natural faculties as to sinful acts, but merely the facultie of acting?
A41639What then do we contend so vehemently for?
A41639Whence came that motion into the heart of Judas to betray Christ, with al the circumstances materially considered referring thereto?
A41639Whence came these things but from the sacred Scriptures?
A41639Whence he addes, He considereth al their works: what works doth he mean?
A41639Where?
A41639Why doth he use this manner of speech?
A41639Wil it satisfie the Pelagians, Jesuites or Arminians?
A41639Wil they say, that Gods predetermining men to the entitative act of unbelief contradicts such a real intention?
A41639With skin and with flesh hast thou clothed me,& c. What could have been said more evidently to demonstrate our Hypothesis?
A41639Would not any Fresh- man in Logic hisse such a consequence out of the Scholes?
A41639Yea is there not morally an infinite distance between the one and the other?
A41639Yea, doth not the ingresse of sin into the world belong to the perfection thereof?
A41639Yea, how frequently do the very same persons differ from themselves in their sentiments about this point?
A41639Yea, is it not expressely said, That God put into their hearts to agree,& c?
A41639Yea, was not al good from Eternitie loged in the bosome of God, and sonot really distinct from him?
A41639Yea, what is predetermination of the event, but predefinition in the Decree?
A41639You sent me out of Hatred and Malice; but did not God send me out of great Love and pitie both to me and you?
A41639You sent me to destroy me, but why did God send me, but to preserve both you and me?
A41639[ 1] How can Sin as the Object of Divine Prescience be certainly future, but by the efficacious Wil of God making it so?
A41639[ 2] Doth not the Scripture also remove from the mode of Divine Prescience al manner of Imperfections, much more Contradictions?
A41639[ 2] What certain Medium can there be of Divine Prescience, but the divine Wil and Decree?
A41639[ 2] Who saith, that God worketh Sins?
A41639[ 3] And thence, how can God have a subjective Certitude of sin but in and by his own Wil?
A41639[ 4] Doth not Durandus and his Sectators grant al this, and yet denie immediate concurse as to the entitative act of sin?
A41639and doth not this give us a more abundant demonstration, that God predetermines the wil to that act?
A41639and if so, must it not be applied and predetermined to its act thereby?
A41639and if the subject be singular, must not the Action be also singular?
A41639and is it not also the same Divine wil that gives futurition to things?
A41639and is the second cause confined by time, before the eternal futurition of its effect?
A41639and may it not, yea must it not then determine the human wil to al its natural acts?
A41639and must there not be some cause of this difference?
A41639and shal we not allow the great Creator of althings the same absolute dominion?
A41639and therefore if God concur to the one, why not also to the other?
A41639and therefore if God make a creature to be a vessel of wrath fitted to destruction, is there any injurie done to the creature?
A41639and therefore may he not assume the Prerogative of ordering althings to the ends for which they were made?
A41639and yet elsewhere how doth he start off from what is here granted?
A41639as in the other, Whether Divine predestination imposeth a necessitie on things?
A41639but doth it not, as to mans Concurse, speake moral vitiositie?
A41639doth he not then efficaciously, yea predeterminatively move and order them in their very evil acts?
A41639how else could he certainly foreknow that he would be crucified?
A41639how is it possible then, but that he applie and determine them to the entitative act of their sinful workes?
A41639how unbecoming and incongruous to the Divine perfections is such a general indifferent concurse?
A41639i. e. the Earth, unto the number of their Gods: by what ceremonie?
A41639is not the futurition of al natural Beings good?
A41639is not then the substrate mater thereof some natural good?
A41639or to what?
A41639was it not they that sold him?
A41639were not Pride and Ambition the main springs of his action?
A41639were not this to make him the Author of sin, which every pious soul detestes?
A41639were they not from God?
A41639what a ful testimonie is here?
A41639what a world of treason, murder, blasphemie, hatred of God and al manner of sin is involved in the wombe of this sin?
A41639what poor subterfuges wil men flie unto to avoid the force and evidence of Divine light?
A41639what the least mention is there of any such thing in the Text?
A41639who would not think Strangius orthodox in this point, did he acquiesce here?
A41639why may we not by the same reason prove, that the futurition of sin is God?
A41639why then do they so daringly sift and prie into the Divine prescience, and draw it down to the model of our corrupt reason?
A41639would our Adversaries but stick here, how soon would our Controversie be ended?
A43008''T is true Sal, Sulphur and Mercurius are different Names, but re ipsa are the Elements: What is Sal but Earth?

A43008And do we not know that our actions are good or evil, from knowing them to have some likeness to his Actions, or to be altogether different from them?
A43008And is it not therefore unworthy of a Philosopher to be a slave to their Dictates?

A43008Are heat and moisture sole agents without coldness or dryness, or are fire and water sufficient principles for actuating life?
A43008Are not coldness and dryness as much necessary per se for life, as heat and moisture?
A43008Are not the Poles of the Heavens immoveable, of the least efficacy?
A43008Are not those parts of the Firmament alwaies discerned to be clearest, and most freed from obscure bodies?
A43008Are we now so much astonisht at the formation of the body, what may we then be at the soul, by far exceeding the body?
A43008Art thou not blinded to fight with such associates?
A43008Besides, take away unity, truth, substance, quantity and the remaining Modes from a being, what can any man imagine to be the Overplus?
A43008Besides, what is quantity without form?
A43008But again, how can it be a single essence since it is divisible, and therefore consisteth of a quantitative extension, and is a totum integrale?
A43008But again, if it be not cognoscible, how do you know it then to be a thing?

A43008Can God''s mercy extend to an Atheist, or can he have compassion with that, which is altogether evil and contrary to his nature?
A43008Can a thing be indivisible, and yet be under various figures?
A43008Can any assert otherwise, but that man is equally tempered in Particles?
A43008Can finite bodies be produced out of infinite material Causes?
A43008Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A43008Certainly no essential one, but obediential; neither an Appetite to a form, for she being blind, how could she perceive a form, to covet it?
A43008Cur non?
A43008Do not air and fire erupt out of the water in a round bubble?
A43008Do we not know our selves in knowing God?
A43008Do we not observe the air to press by the spurring of fire through glasses of the greatest thickness?
A43008Do you not think that the Devil gives a little touch here to, to set off this melody?
A43008Doth a Lump of earth contain more matter then a tract of ayr of the same proportion?
A43008Doth earth( that is in particles) ever move Locally out of its place?
A43008Doth fire attract water, or earth air?
A43008Doth he make any thing more plain, or doth he thereby escape all falsities?
A43008Doth it not attract, retain, concoct and expel in the same manner as a Plant?
A43008Doth it not dissolve the coagulated exhalations of the earth, that are so tenacious?
A43008Doth not Mercury move directly to its own center, although it be never so many times divided?
A43008Doth not a cloud, which must be supposed to be of a firmer consistency than those particles, make choice of a new shape every moment?
A43008Doth not the Seed within its Pellicle bear all the marks, shape, figures, and exerciseth the same actions rudely that a Plant doth?
A43008Doth not the fire in a Torch cast its light circularly from its Center?
A43008Doth not the fire work through the smallest pores?
A43008Doth not the thick smoak of Coales, of Gunpowder, of Boyling water, in fine of all things in the World turn themselves round in the open air?
A43008Doth noth a flame in a candle strive to maintain its center?
A43008Ergo, you speak more then you know: If so, wherein is it distinguisht from a Chimaera?
A43008Etenim quomodo potest universale dici fieri per notitiam,& non cognosci?
A43008Further, What heat is there under the Earth?
A43008Ganges, Nilus, Senaga, Nuba, Tana, Nieper, Morava, Garumna, Thames,& c. yea, and all others spout out of hills, or are they not derived from Lakes?
A43008Hath he not created Angels, men, the world, and all things therein contained?
A43008He moveth a Question, Whether the soul of a whelp is a part of the soul of the dog that begot him: And why not?
A43008Here again he addes a Note of distinction to his Archeus, which is to be per quod, and is not this also an inseparable Attribute of a Form?
A43008Here may be demanded, How doth the holy Spirit then manifest it self to any, since all men are sinners, and all sinners are evil?
A43008Here we may answer fundamentally to that so frequently ventilated doubt, whether life may be prolonged to an eval duration?
A43008Here you may enquire, How one may know that God will be sought by prayer?
A43008Here you must take terminus for forma: for what is it, that doth terminate the matter, but the form?
A43008How can a being be produced, and yet the first matter be remaining?
A43008How can an objective Concept imply a Negative?
A43008How can it, since its spirits are fixed, and do never reach the Brain?
A43008How can this be?
A43008How could the body be evil before the advent of the soul?
A43008How doth the Devil perfume womens looks to enchant mens nostrils?
A43008How doth the Devil then ride him?
A43008How full of Anguish, fear, jealousle, and uncertainties were their souls through their not knowing the true God?
A43008How is Glass made?
A43008How is it possible, that so little innate heat, as is contained within a Dram or two of Sperm should be sufficient to heat the body of a big man?

A43008How then can Materiaprima be said the first subject of every thing?
A43008How then can she be thought to conceive apt matter for such a vital substance?
A43008How then can the above- given Definition stand good?
A43008How then?
A43008However its intended signification was Something, which in English seems to be composed out of one and thing?
A43008I answer affirmatively, What should hinder the Tact from feeling, supposing the object to be applyed to the sensory?
A43008I ask you again, whether there is not fire contained in Aqua fortis?
A43008I confirm the Minor: what, can a body be said to expel it self?
A43008I confirm the Minor; had there never been any moysture, who could ever have thought of dryness?
A43008I grant it, and what is this else but a Deluge?
A43008I not the light of a Candle or Touch much larger than its flame?
A43008I prove it; Is not the shadow of a man standing in the Sun cylindrical to some extent?
A43008I take them in this last Acception, and demand, whether it is not the ayr, which causes that situation and distance of parts?
A43008I take your Answer, but what kind of rest do you mean?
A43008I. VVHether Air be weighty?
A43008I. VVHy doth water cast upon unquencht chalk or lime become boyling?
A43008I. VVHy is red hot Iron rendered harder by being quencht in cold water?
A43008Ice and many bodies generated thereon, as stones,& c. are mixt bodies, and is it the heat of the Sun that doth effect these?
A43008If he implies the last, where then consists the difference between Density and Rarity?
A43008If the broyling Sun be the efficient, whence is it then that some Lakes and Fountains are very salt, where the Sun doth not cast its aduring beams?
A43008If the first, then it is by the entring of another body between the parts that are separated, and what body is that but fire?
A43008If there is any such single matter, how do you know it?
A43008If there were not universal real beings, how could we apprehend universal objective beings?
A43008If you take up a handful of Sand from the ground, doth it not compress your hand downwards?
A43008In a word, Homine semidocto quid iniquius?
A43008In answer to this, I demand, what they mean by nature?
A43008In the same manner, why should an Ens in potentia be accounted to be more real then Aristotle actually and really existing without the world?
A43008In what perplexity did Aristotle die?
A43008Is it a rest from local Motion, or a rest from Alteration, or Augmentation?
A43008Is it not rather a grand piece of impudence to propose such absurdities, and much more to give credit to them?
A43008Is it not then a man''s greatest concernment to bestir himself in this need and defect for a means of restoration?
A43008Is not God the Pattern of our Actions?
A43008Is not a Line also made through union of points in the same manner?
A43008Is not the heat more apt to conveigh vapours, that do so narrowly enclose it, then earth, which of it self permits free egress to fire?
A43008Is not the same Candle apt to overcast an Object much bigger than it self with light that shall exceed its mediety?
A43008Is not this Archeus an effect also of its preceding cause?
A43008Is not time composed out of instants united, and motion out of( ex impetibus) spurts joyned to one another?
A43008Is then fire predominating through its Access of Parts over the other constituting Elements really distinct from it self, because it is greater?
A43008Is there any more difference between a Seed and its germined body, then between an Infant and a man?
A43008Is there any substance or new quality advened to it, and essentially joyned to its Minims?
A43008It is not a Substance or Accident( saith he) but neither, in the manner of Light, Fire,& c. How?
A43008It is not in Heaven, nor beyond the Seas, that thou shouldest say, who shall go up for us to Heaven, and bring it to us?
A43008It is proper for us to know what honour is; for how could we else acquit our duty in this part to God, to the supream Magistrate, or to our Parents?

A43008Lastly, He can not prove it by any sense, only that it must be so, because it agrees with his supposition, and what proof is that to another?
A43008Lastly, I would willingly know wherein a being in power is distinguisht from a Non Ens, or nothing?
A43008Lastly, What was the faith of the Patriarchs in the Old Testament, but an implicit or inclusive faith?
A43008Light( Lumen) is actus visibilitatis( saith Scaliger) that is, it renders a visible thing visible: But how?
A43008Living spirits are attractive, but how?
A43008Mans goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?
A43008Mercurius but water?
A43008Nature is infinitely beyond Art: What Art is there, which can produce the great world, or any thing comparable to the little world?
A43008Notwithstanding all this, there are some, who obstinately do affirm, that the evil habit inheres in the soul per se, but how do they prove it?
A43008Now I demand from you, whether the power of a Ghost''s Existence moveth your understanding before it doth actually exist?
A43008Now if it was unmixt, how could it be said to be tempered?
A43008Now that it is not perceptible is evident; for who can perceive water, ayr, or fire in the earth?
A43008Now then, is it not time for thee to flie, and make thy escape?
A43008Now what followeth hence?
A43008Now what sign of predominance of Earth and Water is there apparent in the Sun?
A43008O but what misery is it to be shut out from this celestial consort, and have ones brains dashed against the fiery pins, and burning stakes of Hell?
A43008On the other side, why should it not be conceived to be a transient action, since it doth terminare ad extra?
A43008Or did he specifie it from the common tact, because it was proper to the Membranes of the Genitals?
A43008Or did you ever see light and doubted of the flame of it?
A43008Or do you not think, that they would be sooner discussed through the intense heat of the upper Region, than concrease into a body?
A43008Or is it the soul together with the heat, wherein it is detained, which is accounted of an extract equally noble with her?
A43008Or otherwise if the air did strive to separate, how could it?
A43008Or simply, a form is needful, or how, or by what power could they act?
A43008Or thus, Can the understanding know against her will, or without her will?
A43008Or thus, If winds be so powerful, why did they not blow down such hils before they came to that height?
A43008Or why shall a light body have but little matter, and a weighty one much?
A43008Otherwise from whom should he else have learned these things, but from the Prophets?
A43008Pray observe here, that the condescending of the soul to the body was not a sinne: That being necessary; for how could man have eaten else?
A43008Pray tell me, why emanation may not be as properly called transmutation, as not?
A43008Pray what is this but absolute atheism?
A43008Pray, let them answer me, By what Efficient many mixt bodies, as plants, Bears and others are generated in the Winter in Greenland?
A43008Pray, what Concept can you have of Matter and Form without Accidents?
A43008Pray, what difference is there between a joy apprehended in a dream, and a joy perceived when one is awake?
A43008Pray, what is a substantial Principle but a substance?
A43008Probably you say it is: I ask you then what kind of body it is?
A43008Secondly, He doth against reason and experience state the rarefaction of some air: But whence came that air?
A43008Secondly, I demand through what principle all things are continued?
A43008Secondly, Would not all Philosophers deride him for saying an intrinsick efficient?
A43008Sense never perceived it, how can you then tell it?
A43008Since that all beings act for an end and purpose, it may be demanded, What end and purpose can a man have in coveting an evil object, as it is evil?
A43008Sixthly, To shun evil and to covet good, are two acts formally contrary: If so, How can these flow from one habit?
A43008So likewise the heat( Calidum innatum) is diversified from the matter and from the soul, wherefore it is neither matter or form, What then?
A43008Some are deferring, others equalizing, and what not for to drive away their time?
A43008Sulphur but fire and ayr?
A43008THe fourth Question proposed is, Which is the Subject of Natural Theology?
A43008Thales being sometimes demanded, what of all things was the most beautiful?

A43008The question, me thinks, is rather, whether it is not a Bull to name a substance incompleat?

A43008There is not only a commonness required, but also an unity, or how could they be beings else?
A43008They all apprehend attraction to be violent, and notwithstanding they affirm Nature to abhor a Vacuum naturally, and how can this hang together?
A43008Thirdly, Wherein is his Archeus or internal efficient different from a form, which he doth so much detest?
A43008This Text doth apparently teach God''s eternal Decree, Predestination or Ordination to save some, and damn others: But for what?
A43008This is a plain division of a being existent, and possible to exist; Where halts the Definition then?
A43008This is futil: for what is apparent good, but a real evil?
A43008This is just like them to run from one extremity to another: But how a Vacuum?
A43008This manner of production is proper only to an infinite power: But you may demand, Why can not God invest the soul with this power?
A43008This power is given him in these expressed words of Scripture( saving my purpose) Let man multiply: How could man multiply had he not this power?
A43008Unde Plato( inquit) currum volantem Jovem agere in Coelo didicit, nisi ex Prophetarum Historiis, quas evolverit?

A26974A DISPVTATION OF JVSTIFICATION: Whether any Works be any Conditions of it?
A26974A naked term[ Condition] expounded by you that never saw my heart?
A26974Active or Passive?
A26974Am I credible only when I speak amiss, and not at all when I speak right?
A26974Am not I like to have a fair hand think you of this Disputer?
A26974An efficientis Causalitas, Actio?
A26974And I pray search, whether in this Question, you do not confound your Notions ex parte objecti, and ex parte Actus?
A26974And can you think then that Remission and Justification have several conditions?
A26974And do I need to say any more now in defence of this opinion, which my Reverend Brother saith is not to be endured?
A26974And do not men that make address, address themselves in like variety?
A26974And do we make any doubt of this?
A26974And do you think Ghemnitius did join with the Papists of Trent, when he confuted them?
A26974And do you think in good sadness that one single Physical act can be the act of both the faculties?
A26974And do you think that we can any better tell when we have all that are Essential?
A26974And doth he not thereby make over, as it were under his hand, the Lord Jesus, and all his Benefits to them that will receive him?
A26974And doth it therefore follow that they can be no Conditions of our continued Justification?
A26974And doth not every man that is saved so fulfill the conditions of the new Covenant?
A26974And first, We must understand what it is that is distinguished: whether the Habit of faith, or the Acts?
A26974And how can that Law pronounce a man, or his action righteous, which curseth him, and condemneth him to Hell for that same Action?
A26974And how could you over- look it, that your Argument flyeth too boldly in the face of Christ, and many a plain Text of Scripture?
A26974And how do these men vilifie them, and rob them of their highest honor, that deny them to be the Laws of God?
A26974And how many new Methods and Doctrines of Philosophy this one age hath produced?
A26974And how oft hath Bellarmine been called Sophister for supposing, we mean such an apprehension?
A26974And how?
A26974And if faith be a passive physical instrument, it must have a Physical Efficiency?
A26974And if he had said,[ He that repenteth, or loveth, or calleth on the name of the Lord, shall be justified or saved] would not these have done it?
A26974And if means, of what sort, if not conditions?
A26974And if this be common to Hypocrites and Reprobates, what a case are we in then?
A26974And if you did not mean that these are conditions of Pardon, and Justification, when you say they are, who can understand you?
A26974And indeed what man denyeth it?
A26974And is it not Christs whole Law which is of force when he is dead, and called his Testament?
A26974And is it not great partiality to let the same pass as currant from them, which from me must be condemned?
A26974And is it now come to that pass that these can not be known?
A26974And is not Justification one benefit?
A26974And is not final Justification a freeing us from that Curse?
A26974And is not perseverance in faith as necessary as perseverance in obedience?
A26974And is not that the Law and Testimony to which we must seek?
A26974And is not that to say as much as I?
A26974And is not the Promise undoubtedly Gods Deed of Gift?
A26974And is not the imperfection of faith and repentance a sin?
A26974And is the condition of her Dignity, only the Taking him as a Prince who is Rich and Honourable?
A26974And is this wholly superfluous?
A26974And may not this tend to an accommodation between us in this Point?
A26974And now was here a fit occasion to speak reproach fully of Paul, as extream ignorant, or unfaithful, or immanis sophista?
A26974And of our Divines that say there is inherent Righteousness?
A26974And on the other side, whether it may not be of dangerous consequence, as injurious to Christ, to deny so great a part of his Dominion?
A26974And so to Believe, is not agere, but pati or recipere?
A26974And so whether we are justified by Works as such a Condition?
A26974And that repentance is not recipient, how easily do I yeild to you?
A26974And then how were all the faithful justified before Christs Incarnation and Ascension?
A26974And then the question still remaineth, whether those qualifications are means or no means?
A26974And what Reference to Justification is it?
A26974And what Transient Act is it that God then and there puts forth or performeth?
A26974And what do the generality of our Divines mean, when they say that Faith and new Obedience are our conditions of the Covenant?
A26974And what do your defences do to justifie such dealing?
A26974And what is Presumption, if it be not this very faith which Divines call justifying?
A26974And what is the unwarrantable sense?
A26974And what is the 〈 ◊ 〉 or Aptitude of faith but this?
A26974And what is this, but plainly to forbid me to dispute with you?
A26974And what then?
A26974And what think you is the happy Light that deserveth all this ostentation?
A26974And wherein is the Essential, formal difference between a wicked mans resting on Christ for Justification, and a true Believers?
A26974And whether it be not introduced by Pious Divines meerly in heat of Disputation, which usually carryeth men into extreams?
A26974And whether they stick in the air, and have all their Being first there, as Magyrus, and other Peripateticks?
A26974And which is the more clear, certain and safe?
A26974And which should you take to be indeed my sense?
A26974And who ever said that in all or any of these the Soul is Passive and not Active?
A26974And why do not stones wast by such an uncessant emanation?
A26974And why may it not be added also to the Predicate, as well as it may Reduplicatively?
A26974And why may not I be judged Orthodox in that point, when I heartily subscribe to the National Assemblies Definition?
A26974And why may not I with Dr. Preston, Mr. Wallis,& c. say it is an Acceptance, or consent, joyned with Assent?
A26974And why may we not say,[ A state of Sonship or salvation] as well as of Justification?
A26974And why might not Abraham be instanced in?
A26974And why speak you not of faith in one part of your comparison, as well as in the other?
A26974And why then may not we call it faith?
A26974And will you meet all these with your objections, and say,[ How shall I know when I have the full number?
A26974And yet do you think this too big to be essential to Christian Faith?
A26974And yet must we voluminously differ, when I have told you that I allow it?
A26974And yet will you say that faith or inherent righteousness is Legal and not Evangelical?
A26974Are not Knowledge, Words, Works, ours, by all which God saith, we are justified?
A26974Are these things doubtfull among Divines or Christians?
A26974Are we so well agreed, that you marvell at my supposition of this difference?
A26974As for your discourse, whether Paul disputes what is our Righteousness?
A26974At least do they not compound their Righteousness( as to the law of Works) partly of Christs satisfaction, and partly of their own Works?
A26974But I ask, if there be justifying works, how saith Paul true?
A26974But I wonder at his proof of his Sequel[ Because he who is ungodly is not legally righteous] what is that to the Question?
A26974But Paul doth not resolve there[ what is the Condition on which Christ makes over this Righteousness of his?]
A26974But are you indeed of the contrary opinion, and against that which you dispute against?
A26974But do you indeed think that when Paul excludeth the works of the Law, that he excludeth them only as Recipient?
A26974But do you not hereby confess that I give no more to works then you, but only less to faith?
A26974But do you think that Repentance is not necessarily Antecedent to Justification, as well as to Remission?
A26974But for works; How shall I know when I have the full number of them?
A26974But from what interest?
A26974But here is the question, Can a godly man dying, think the Righteousness of Christ is made his by working or believing?
A26974But if it be the Object that he meaneth, then what force or sense is there in his Argument, from the terms,[ Purposing, Intending, Confessing?]
A26974But if you do use it as a means, then what means is it?
A26974But if you mean not this simple apprehension( as sure you do not) then how is it possible to imagine the understanding should be passive in it?
A26974But if you will say so, what remedy But perhaps I intimate so much in my words; In what words?
A26974But if[ only] be here understood, really doth not this Brother desire to know Christ obeying, Christ risen, Christ teaching, ruling, interceding,& c?
A26974But in what sence James saith, we are justified by works, and not by Faith only?
A26974But is it Christ or the believer that you put in these various Relations?
A26974But is it not possible that it may cheat or deceive themselves, though some never utter it to the deceiving of others?
A26974But is this the state of the question with us?
A26974But now, on the other side, what inconvenience is there in the Doctrine of faith and justification as I deliver it?
A26974But the question is whether the Interest of the several acts of our faith be accordingly distinct?
A26974But to his Argument, I deny the consequence of the Major; and how is it proved?
A26974But was it possible for them to be justified without the blood of Christ?
A26974But what Condition?
A26974But what are those All things?
A26974But what condition?
A26974But what if I be mistaken in this point?
A26974But what if works and faith were both of them applyed to procure our Justification?
A26974But what if you had only said that Faith is morally passive, and not physically?
A26974But what is this to you?
A26974But what remedy?
A26974But what strange Arguments are these, that are such strangers still to the question?
A26974But why do you say only of Repentance that[ it is the condition of Remision] and of forgiving others, that[ it is the condition of entring into life?]
A26974But yet further, if Faith be passive Physically, let us find out first what is the Agent?
A26974But you ask[ If Christs righteousness be able to satisfie, what is the matter that it removeth not all our Evangelical failings?
A26974But your Doctrine, what Oedipus is able to unfold?
A26974But, saith he, to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by the works of the Law, If the Righteousness of faith were not sufficient?
A26974By what physical act of the Agent?
A26974By what physical contact faith doth receive this?
A26974Can I not tell you that your Argument is a Fallacy, but you will thus exclaim of me, as making you an Impostor?
A26974Can every poor man or woman reach to know what a passive Action, or a passive Passion, or a Passive Instrument is?
A26974Can he know that all shall work to him for good, though he know not whether he love God?
A26974Can no man but the Perfectly obedient, perform the condition of pardon in the Gospel?
A26974Can you find any lower place to give it?
A26974Can you tell?
A26974Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,( Guilt is the great load:) But under what Notion will Christ be come to?
A26974Dare you tell any man of yout Hearers that though he have not so much as a Purpose to mend, yet he is justified by Faith?
A26974Did Christ expiate the sins, that by the Gospel men are obliged to punishment for?
A26974Did I ever deny that faith must eye and follow Christs death to bring us to God?
A26974Did ever man that writ of Philosophy once think that the soul did componere, dicidere, ratiocinari, judicare, patiendo& non agendo?
A26974Did not Abrahams Obedience, and other works flow from Grace?
A26974Did not each of these forsake that which by the former was accounted the good sound Definition?
A26974Did they ever tell you that this distinction is in them?
A26974Did we ever deny that Faith must be directed to Christ as Priest?
A26974Did you doubt of these?
A26974Did you ever see my Papers, or theirs?
A26974Digbyes Atomes or number of small bodies which are in perpetual motion?
A26974Do I ascribe any of Christs honour in the work to man?
A26974Do I call the duty, a work of the Law, because I say the Law condemneth the neglecters of it?
A26974Do I say any more then the Assembly saith in the preceding Question?
A26974Do you believe in your conscience, that Christ is presented and represented in the Supper only as dying?
A26974Do you believe this your self?
A26974Do you indeed think, that to be an efficient cause of our justification, and to be a bare condition, is all one?
A26974Do you not believe this?
A26974Do you not discern that the Question concerneth you and every man, as much as me?
A26974Do you not give up the Protestant cause here to the Papists in the point of certainty of salvation?
A26974Do you not see that it is against you?
A26974Do you not your selves call it fides formata charitate?
A26974Do you think he did?
A26974Do you think that I deny a godly life to be a comfortable testimony, and a necessary qualification of a man for pardon?
A26974Do you think that any of these do make the pardon to be of Debt, and not of Grace?
A26974Do you think that only the first instantaneous act of faith doth justifie, and no other after through the course of our lives?
A26974Do you think that the Law doth not threaten unbelievers, when the Gospel hath commanded faith?
A26974Do you verily believe that Repentance and Faith have no Interest in our Pardon, in sub- ordination to Christ?
A26974Does not every man that undergoes various relations, variously act according to them?
A26974Doth God every moment at a Court of Angels Declare each sinner in the world, remitted of his particular sin?
A26974Doth he that speaks of receiving a man to be our Husband, King, Master,& c. mean it of one only Act?
A26974Doth his Title cease as oft as he shuts his lips from saying, I thank you?
A26974Doth it intervene between Christ and the effect?
A26974Doth not Christ say, Take my yoak learn of me to be meek and lowly, that they may have ease and rest?
A26974Doth not the Apostle contradict you by expounding himself in the very next verse before those you cite?
A26974Doth that dishonour it?
A26974Doth the Doctrine of faith alone without Christ advance Grace?
A26974Doth the Gospel justifie us?
A26974Doth the first acceptance here serve turn for continuance of what is first received, without the following Homage and Fidelity?
A26974Doth[ Trusting him and Believing him] exclude a Resolution to obey his Directions and the future actual obedience?
A26974Ease and Rest?
A26974Else why may not they see it in it self?
A26974Enquire whether videre, audire, be only Grammatical Actions( as you call them) and natural passions?
A26974Ergo,& c. The Major is evident: What Saint dare say, that he hath a work that makes not the Reward of Grace, especially when it is a work of Grace?
A26974Even the performance of the Conditions on mans part?
A26974Even they that raise questions, what one act of faith doth justifie, whether of the Vnderstanding or Will?
A26974First you say, you exclude a co- operation effective, but why do we strive about words?
A26974First, Did ever any man deny the necessity of inherent Righteousness, that was called a Protestant?
A26974For how can they have any comfort that know not whether they are justified and shall be saved?
A26974For is not this all that Paul ayms at in speaking so oft of Faith in Relation to Christs death and Righteousness, rather then to his Government?
A26974For is that the state of the question with us?
A26974For to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by works of the Law, if the righteousness of Faith were not sufficient?
A26974For what Divine denyeth works to be a condition of Salvation, or of the final Justification?
A26974For what is our final Justification, but a Determination of the Question by publick sentence, on our side, Whether we have Right to salvation or not?
A26974For what should I do?
A26974For your question, How come the imperfections in our conditions to be pardoned?
A26974From what?
A26974Had I but delivered such a Doctrine as this, what should I have heard?
A26974Hath not God said?]
A26974Hath the Covenant of Grace( which promiseth Justification and Glorification) any condition on our parts, or none?
A26974Have not I ever yielded to you that all works are excluded from Justifying as works?
A26974Have you not Christs express words, that forgiving others is a condition of our Remission?
A26974He instances in Abrahams works, and excludes them: now were Abrahams works, works done by the meer strength of the Law?
A26974Here is causality, though improper; Here is a causa dispositiva: and yet shall I be blamed after I had removed Efficiency and Merit?
A26974His fifth Argument is, that[ These two Justifications overthrow each other: If by one we have peace with God, what need the other?
A26974His own received him not; What is that but they refused him?
A26974How can good works perfect our Justification, being themselves imperfect?]
A26974How can justifying faith qua talis in the act of Justifying, and Repentance, be reducible duties to the Law taken strictly?
A26974How could he have brought a plainer evidence against himself?
A26974How could you wink so hard as not to see that your Argument is as much against your self as me, if you do but turn it thus?
A26974How doth it receive it?
A26974How oft doth the Scripture expresly mention faith in our Lord Jesus Christ?
A26974How strangely is it painted?
A26974How then can you tell the world in print, that it seems I have met with a pack of Impostors, even them you mention?
A26974How then is Love the fruit of faith, and as Divines say, a consequent of Justification?
A26974How will they know when they Repent and Believe, when they have performed the full of these?
A26974How will you ever prove, that our Entering into Life, and our continued remission or Justification have not the same conditions?
A26974How would you have your Reader understand these two insinuations?
A26974I deny his Consequence: And how is it proved?
A26974I wonder that men should so little know the difference betwixt Earth and Heaven; a sinner in flesh, and a Saint that is equal to the Angels of God?
A26974I wonder what made you think me of such an opinion that I have so much wrote against?
A26974I would know 1. whether we are Guilty( not only facti, sed poenae) of every sin we commit?
A26974I would sain know what that is which you here call Faith, and say its passive?
A26974If God had not said[ He that believeth shall be justified and saved,] would Believing have done it?
A26974If Satan say, This man both deserved death by sining since he Believed( as David) must we not be justified from that Accusation?
A26974If faith should deserve the name of an instrument, when I think it is but a condition?
A26974If faith were such a Physical Passive( or Active) Instrument, whether that be the formal direct reason of its justifying?
A26974If he[ have not works, can faith save him?]
A26974If it be no cause of pardon; Is it a condition sine qua non, as to that manner of pardoning that your prayer doth intend?
A26974If it were, Whether that be the primary, formal Reason of its justifying vertue?
A26974If medii, then what medium is it?
A26974If of that, it s granted: but it s still denyed that perseverance is any of the Condition of our first pardon?
A26974If one righteousness may serve, may not Pilate and Simon Magus be justified, if no man be put to prove his part in it?
A26974If so, what hope of Justice?
A26974If the later, you might as well have said, the Socinians assert that there is a God, and so do we: But to what purpose?
A26974If we are Guilty, how can that consist with a justified state?
A26974If we must fulfill him ▪ why may not a dying man look on them?
A26974If you have, what place is it?
A26974If you say, What need you then dispute the point, if they deny it not whom you dispute with?
A26974Indeed if the Condition be never performed, then it destroyes or prevents the effect, and so the Instrument doth not agere: And why?
A26974Is Believing attributed to God, or is it an act of man?
A26974Is Love any part of the Condition of her Pardon and Dignity?
A26974Is Prayer any cause of Pardon?
A26974Is believing and trusting the Physitian some one single act, excluding all others?
A26974Is here any room for further disputing?
A26974Is it Christ himself that is physically received by faith?
A26974Is it a Passion?
A26974Is it a clear and profitable way of teaching to confound all these, under the general name of Covenant- breaking?
A26974Is it any danger to give less to faith then others, while I give no less to Christ?
A26974Is it fit to Dispute with such dealing as this?
A26974Is it harsh when yet you never once shew the fault of the Speech?
A26974Is it justice for you still to perswade the world that I mean some causality, though not efficiency?
A26974Is it meant they took him not in their hands, or received not his Person into their houses?
A26974Is it not a good Argument Negative, Abraham was not justified by works, therefore we are not?
A26974Is it not at all an Act therefore?
A26974Is it not safe when a man hath prerformed these conditions, to look on them either living or dying?
A26974Is it not this, whether the Gospel Righteousness be made ours, otherwise then by believing?
A26974Is it repent, and Christs Righteousness is by this made yours, and rest in Christ?
A26974Is it the Act of Faith?
A26974Is it the Habit?
A26974Is it the Name or the Thing that you mean?
A26974Is it then a meet phrase to say, that she is pardoned and dignified by loving such a Prince?
A26974Is it then any whit probable that it is Gods meaning to exclude this respect of the act from any conditionality herein?
A26974Is it true, that[ this is that in effect, which the Papists affirm in other words?]
A26974Is not Christ the Law- giver?
A26974Is not Faith ours as much Love,& c?
A26974Is not Love and Obedience part of the Condition?
A26974Is not one kind of work omitted when it s my duty, enough to invalidate my Justification?
A26974Is not this all that our Divines say, or require?
A26974Is not this as much as I say?
A26974Is not this as plain as may be?
A26974Is not this one of the Opinionists, that so far joyneth with the Socinians and Papists?
A26974Is not your Testament that gives your Legacy, because it gives conditionally?
A26974Is that man justified that believeth not in Christ as the King and Prophet of the Church?
A26974Is the Gospel that must be published among all Nations, the History only?
A26974Is the condition of her Deliverance and Pardon, the taking him only under the Notion of a Pardoner or Deliverer?
A26974Is there a further condition required to this condition?
A26974Is there any difficulty in this, or is there any doubt of it?
A26974Is there no aptitude in Christs legal Righteousness to give us life?
A26974Is this a sweet and Christian sense?
A26974Is this adding to the Scripture unjustly?
A26974Is this an Act too?
A26974It can not possibly by any one single Act or Passion which you call the passive Instrument: and do you think to find out many such?
A26974Item quomodo causarentur relationes rationis, sive intentiones logicae, quae sunt in actu collativo?
A26974Must not those Conditions be fulfilled by our selves?
A26974My last Question was, Whether now your Doctrine or mine be the more obscure, doubtfull and dangerous?
A26974Nay is it like to be the great business of that day to enquire whether Christ have done his part or no?
A26974Nay the act is but a moral act, such as a Statute or Bond acteth, and what need Faith to be a physical Instrument?
A26974None''s here so fruitfull as the Leaning Vine: And what though some be drunken with the Wine?
A26974Nonne quod dicere quoque periculosum est, sed ad adificationem proferendum est, d ● abolum Domino praeponit?
A26974Nor what Faith justifieth?
A26974Nor whether Faith justifie?
A26974Nothing to assure men of Justification by faith, but immediate communications to Believers?
A26974Now I pray you tell me whether here be not full as much as Dr. Ward or I say?
A26974Now how will they avoid Tompsons Doctrine of Intercision of that Title to Salvation, upon the committing of such sins?
A26974Now the question is, what is the condition of this womans deliverance and Dignity?
A26974Now would you perswade us that Paul excludeth this kind of Interest, or opposeth faith to it?
A26974OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification?
A26974OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification?
A26974Of a Cause?
A26974Or are there no such conditions which man must perform himself or perish?
A26974Or can any thing but the want of this personal righteousness then hazard a mans soul?
A26974Or do you think none were justified before?
A26974Or doth every weak Christian believe all the twenty Articles that you mentioned at first?
A26974Or from what Agent and Act?
A26974Or he that gives any great matter on Condition of such Receiving, Doth he mean that any one single Act is that Condition?
A26974Or is it excluded?
A26974Or is it that Repentance is conjoyned as to our first Justification, and obedience as to that at Judgement?
A26974Or is it the Intellective Reception of his species?
A26974Or is that Promise to them only that suffer for the Declarative part only?
A26974Or that believing in Christs blood for everlasting Life and happiness, should be any more called works then believing in his blood for Justification?
A26974Or that it is this or that only Act?
A26974Or the omission of many individual acts of faith?
A26974Or was it ever his intent to advance some one act of theirs?
A26974Or what do you say less then I do here?
A26974Or what m ● ● ● Paul to rejoyce in the testimony of his Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity he had his conversation?
A26974Or whether it is meerly Pati?
A26974Or whether their Being is only in the eye?
A26974Or, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the works which Paul excludeth from Justification?
A26974Or, Whether it have only Entity and Verity, or only Goodness for its Object?
A26974Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory?
A26974Our Question is, How the sense of James shall be known?
A26974Our question then is only of the nature, and reason of that necessity?
A26974Pauls Question is, What is the Righteousness which must denominate a sinner just at the Bar of the Law?
A26974Repented of all sins that must be Repented of?
A26974Reply, First, I hope you would not make the world believe that I deny it; Did I ever exclude a dying Christ from the object of justifying faith?
A26974Secondly, But what if that were so?
A26974Seeing you think( truly) that Pardon is iterated as oft as we sin, by what Transient Act of God is this done?
A26974Shall I again tell you the true ground of mens mistake( as I think) in this Point?
A26974So that it is not the natural, but the moral Truth, that is wanting: And what is that?
A26974So that it is one question to ask, Why doth Faith or Works of Obedience to Christ Justifie?
A26974Still the Question wanting in the conclusion: Who denyeth that Christ crucified is the object of justifying faith?
A26974That Readers do you expect, that will take an Assertion of Fear- Love, and Obedience, in stead of an assertion concerning Faith?
A26974That by works he means not simply good Actions, as James doth, but such as make the reward to be of debt and not of Grace?
A26974That the Church must be thus molested by such disputing volumes against it, to make the Papists and other enemies believe we hold I know not what?
A26974The Question is not whether Faith work?
A26974The conclusion never was acquainted with our Question?
A26974The fifth Question is, Whether Faith be any Instrument of our Justification?
A26974The fourth Question is, Whether other Graces may not be as properly called physical passive Instruments as Faith, is your sense?
A26974The like I may say of a Testament or Deed of Gift: But what need many words in a case where the Truth is so obvious?
A26974The question that James disputed, was, Whether men are justified by meer believing without Gospel- Obedience?
A26974The third Question is, Whether faith be passive in its instrumentality?
A26974Therefore it solely dependeth on it: And if these things were true, what are they to our question?
A26974Thirdly, The words of the Jews to John( If thou be not that Christ nor Elias, nor that Prophet, why baptizest thou?
A26974This Union is by Faith: We are united to him as to a Head, Husband and Prince, and not only as a Justifier?
A26974This is the Wills first act towards it object; and will you say that Love goes before justifying faith, and so before Justification?
A26974Thus methinks all that I desire is granted already: what Adversary could a man dream of among Protestants in such a Cause?
A26974Truly it is quite beyond my shallow capacity to reach what you here mean to be so harsh: what should I imagine?
A26974WHether Besides the Righteousness of Christ imputed, there be a personal evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation?
A26974WHether the Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul?
A26974WHether we are justified by believing in Jesus Christ as our King and Teacher, as well as by believing in his blood?
A26974WHether works are a condition of condition of Justification, and so whether we are justified by works as such a condition?
A26974Wards is to that of the Council of Tre ● t?
A26974Was it ever the less a Law or Promise, the Object of Faith, or Instrument of Justification?
A26974Was it not the Gospel which Christ and the Apostles preached?
A26974Was it only the Declaration of Christs Death, Resurrection,& c. which is the Gospel according to which mens secrets must be judged?
A26974Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the Altar?
A26974Was there no Gospel- grant then extant?
A26974Were Abrahams works in opposition to Christ?
A26974Were it not then better to perswade all people, even when they are whoring, or drunk, to trust on Christ to pardon and justifie them?
A26974Were you not comparing faith in Christ as King, with faith in Christ as Priest only?
A26974What Agreement then hath this Argument with all the rest, or with his question?
A26974What Mystical Relative Union is that which is not a Moral Union?
A26974What a pack of Arguments are here?
A26974What are the Conditions?
A26974What are therefore these two kinds of Righteousness, but contradictory to each other?
A26974What be the Deeds that you know my mind by to be contrary to my words?
A26974What doth faith thus receive?
A26974What doth it concern a sinner to be justified or condemned now before a Court of Angels, where he is not present, nor knows any thing of it?
A26974What if Faith were passive in its Instrumentality?
A26974What if I dare not do so, but give that glory to God, and not to the nature of our own act?
A26974What if the Law condemn the neglect of a Gospel duty?
A26974What is it that you call Sanctification?
A26974What is it then?
A26974What is justifying Faith?
A26974What is more obvious, then that there are many conditions in justificato, which are not in actu justificationis?
A26974What is the Terminus ad quem?
A26974What is this thing called Faith, which you make such a Proteus, to be Active and Passive as to several Objects?
A26974What more proper to the reformed Religion, as such, then to honour the Scriptures?
A26974What not the signs by which faith it self should be known, and therefore should be notiora?
A26974What real difference between the godly and the wicked, the saved and damned?
A26974What room is there for them all, without confusion, If both color, quantity, odor, and all be there?
A26974What sense would you make of it if you should interpret this and such texts as this of all moral Acts?
A26974What the Action?
A26974What the Patient or Object?
A26974What then in the whole world shall escape that censure?
A26974What then is the matter?
A26974What tolearable sense can be given of that multitude of plain Scriptures which I have cited?
A26974What''s this to the Question?
A26974What''s this to the Question?
A26974What, that Faith should be this subservient Righteousness?
A26974When Tolet disputeth utrum ixtelligere sit pati?
A26974When these plants of Hell do thrive upon us, under all our care to weed them up: what will they do when the Vineyard is left desolate?
A26974When will you prove the Consequence of this Argument?
A26974When you ask how saith Paul true?
A26974Whence?
A26974Whether Affiance, Recombency, Assurance,& c. or whether a Passion?
A26974Whether Believing be so, only verbum activum, but Physically passive?
A26974Whether Besides the Righteousness of Christ Imputed, there be a Personal Evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation?
A26974Whether Christ himself be not the object of it?
A26974Whether Faith be any proper Instrument of our Justification?
A26974Whether Good be not the object of the Will, and so Christ be not willed as Good?
A26974Whether Works are a Condition of Justification?
A26974Whether a moral?
A26974Whether faith be passive in its Instrumentality?
A26974Whether is the Condition of the species or individuums of works?
A26974Whether it be necessitas medii ad finem, as to the continuance or consummation of our Justification?
A26974Whether justifying faith be not an act of the Will as well as the Understanding?
A26974Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul?
A26974Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the soul?
A26974Whether the same may not be said as truly of other Graces?
A26974Whether they be an image or similitude begotten or caused by the Object, as Combacchius and most?
A26974Whether this or that act?
A26974Whether this willing be not the same as Loving, as love is found in the rational appetite?
A26974Whether to Believe be only verbum activ ● m?
A26974Whether we are Justified by Beliveing in Jesus Christ, as our King and Teacher; as well as by believing in his Blood?
A26974Whether you can call Affiance, or any other act of the will justifying faith, excluding this willing, or not principally including it?
A26974Whether your Opinion or mine be the plainer or safer?
A26974Which call you the good, sound definition of Faith?
A26974Which of those acts do you think goes not before Justification?
A26974Who ever said, and where, that passive Justification( yea or active) is the Gospel it self, or the sign?
A26974Who speaks more against faith, they or I?
A26974Who then gives more to works, you or I?
A26974Who will say so?
A26974Who would have thought that you had held such a point?
A26974Why do I not understand with every dull thought?
A26974Why from what they came burdened with?
A26974Why may not Christ given us ▪ justifie us as the meritorious cause, and a principal efficient; and his Gospel- grant, as his Instrument?
A26974Why may not a man know when he believeth in Christ as King and Prophet, and is his Disciple, as well as when he believeth in him as Priest?
A26974Why may not faith be a condition, as well as an Instrument of receiving the pardon of its own Imperfection?
A26974Why not Conditions as well as Instruments or Causes?
A26974Why then do you still harp upon the word[ works] as if I did give more to them?
A26974Why then should I aim at this mark?
A26974Why then we say, it is his Ransom, his love and free mercy,& c. And if the Question be, what is it in him that dignifieth her?
A26974Will any say that the Saints do no good works?
A26974Will it not be as dangerous to omit that one as all, seeing that one is required as a Condition?
A26974Will not such think they may sin salva fide?
A26974Will not the omission of Repentance for one sin invalidate it?
A26974Will you ask now[ If faith be imperfect, how comes the guilt of that Imperfection to be pardoned?
A26974Will you call to any judicious Reader, to tell you that which I particularly exprest to you?
A26974Will you not maintain it against a Papist when you are returned to your former temper?
A26974Will you not produce your faith and repentance for your Justification against this charge, and so to prove your Interest in Christ?
A26974Will you say, not by the words, but by the sense?
A26974Will you thence infer that none are justified till death?
A26974Will you therefore conclude that the Moral Agency or Efficiency of these Laws is past, and therefore they do not condemn or justifie?
A26974Would you have us say more of them, or less?
A26974Ye will not come to me that ye may have life: How oft would I, and ye would not?
A26974Yea and whether there be any such thing?
A26974Yea how great a controversie is it what the sensible and intelligible species are?
A26974Yea is it not a notorious truth, that it is quite another thing which the Papists affirm in somewhat like words?
A26974Yea what a dangerous loss will Christians then be at, who will hardly ever be able to find out this single Act, what it is and when they have it?
A26974Yea when the rest are acknowledged to be part of the Condition?
A26974Yea who doubteth but he might have given them without any condition, even that of acceptance?
A26974Yea, Why do the best Divines preach so much against Presumption?
A26974Yet in the places cited, who knows not the same word hath different senses?
A26974You ask, Were Abrahams works in opposition to that,& c?
A26974You ask[ Is it repent, and Christs righteousness by this is made yours?]
A26974You confess that by ungodly, is meant such, though Regenerate and holy, that have not an adequate holiness: Adequate; To what?
A26974You demand,[ Will you exclude his Obedience, Resurrection, intercession]?
A26974You here ask me,[ Whether I think you deny a godly life to be a comfortable Testimony, or necessary qualification of a man for pardon?]
A26974You know by Justification they mean principally Sanctification?
A26974You reply, If there be justifying works, how saith Paul true?
A26974You say the question is,[ Whether the Gospel righteousness be made ours otherwise then by believing?]
A26974You say, how then saith James true?
A26974Your conclusion now is nothing to the Question?
A26974[ For if Faith( say you) justifie as a work] But who saith it doth justifie as a work?
A26974[ He that spared not his own son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?]
A26974[ Repent and be baptized( saith Peter) for the remission of sin; Of what sin?
A26974[ The true meaning( saith he) of the Question[ whether we are justified by Faith or by Works?]
A26974[ What doth God require of us, that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin?
A26974[ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A26974[ can faith save him?]
A26974and 10 29?
A26974and all because he would not deny either Christ or Faith?
A26974and excuse not Infidels from the guilt of Rebellion against the Redeemer?
A26974and have limited our justification to any one act?
A26974and how called?
A26974and how can they know that, when they know not what justifying saith is?
A26974and how can they know that, who know not whether they have faith?
A26974and how can they know what it is, when it is by Divines involved in such a cloud and maze of difficulties?
A26974and how we receive Christ, as a man takes a gift in his hand?
A26974and instead of the act we are now set to enquire after the passion?
A26974and is that positive or vehement affirming it?
A26974and not as qualifying?
A26974and saith, God giveth to will,( that is, to believe) and to do,& c. that all this is meant of meer Passion?
A26974and should dream of such perfection short of heaven, the place of our perfection?
A26974and so actively justifie us?
A26974and so another to that with a processus in infinitum?
A26974and so is Evangelically righteous?
A26974and such a Love as is distinct from justifying faith as being no part of it?
A26974and that it is of aequal difficulty upon your own and others opinion, as upon mine?
A26974and the King?
A26974and the very same?
A26974and what is that?
A26974and whether it be not the plain and frequent speech of Scripture?
A26974and why hath it not been discovered unto the world?
A26974and will there be joy in heaven for reducing a man from such an opinion?
A26974and yet meerly Recipient?
A26974are not those acts conditions?
A26974believed all necessary Truths?
A26974but what of that?
A26974by him performed?
A26974de Dieu, Bucer, Calvin, Zanchy?
A26974especially least they should yield to universal Redemption in any kind?
A26974except Mr. Pemble and a very few that with him make Sanctification and Vocation to be all one?
A26974from what?
A26974if not guilty: then what need of Pardon, of daily praying Forgive us our Debts, or of a Christ to procure our Pardon?
A26974if so; then doth not faith justifie directly, as the condition of the Gift, Promise, or new Covenant?
A26974is any excepted to the Penitent Believer?
A26974is it by a further condition, and so in infinitum?]
A26974is there any danger in it?
A26974is there any danger in this?
A26974it is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth?
A26974no deed of Gift of Christ and his Righteousness to all that should believe?
A26974nor his Intercession,( for who shall condemn us?
A26974of that gift?
A26974or do you think the difference to be of no moment?
A26974or doth Scripture tell you?
A26974or doth it signifie any one act?
A26974or else that they do such good works as make the Reward to be not of Grace but of debt?
A26974or is it only a condition without which he will not cure them?
A26974or of another gift?
A26974or of such sins as Davids, before Repentance?
A26974or rather to advance the Lord Jesus whom faith Receiveth?
A26974or shall any be saved that saith,[ I did not repent or believe, but Christ did for me?]
A26974or should I be spoke against for the Doctrine of obedience, as if I gave more to man then you, when I give so much less?
A26974or that ever such a thing can be proved?
A26974or that there is no condemnation to him, though he know not that he is in Christ, and walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit?
A26974or the act of any one single faculty that the people of the land must perform?
A26974or to see through all the difficulties that I have discovered here in your Doctrine?
A26974or to the constitution of the condition in the Gospel?
A26974or what proof is there from Scripture for this?
A26974or yet to enquire, whether the world were sinners?
A26974or yet, that he hath commanded us in the Gospel, so to work that the Reward may not be of grace, but debt?
A26974that every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bird, Stone,& c. and other bodies, have their several distinct species in the Air night and day?
A26974that is to bring Christ down from above: or who shall descend into the deep?
A26974that is to bring up Christ again from the dead: But what saith it?
A26974that we deny even to all: Of a Condition?
A26974that[ If thou confess with thy mouth, and believe in thy heart,& c.] that[ If] is a conjunction conditional?
A26974the Trusting to Christ for Pardon and Salvation only, without taking him for their King and Prophet?
A26974the satisfaction of a surety?
A26974to justifie?
A26974to note[ what in Christ received doth justifie] rather then[ what respect of our act of faith is the condition?]
A26974to the Law?
A26974what is the danger?
A26974what need any more then to be said of it?
A26974when I say, that[ all that I have to do with, grant the Antecedent] and what''s that to the question in hand?
A26974whether Assent only, or Affiance?
A26974whether they can be the Subjects of Passion; and so be passive Acts?
A26974which yet because it is no way made ours but by believing, therefore he so puts the Question, whether by works of the Law, or by faith?
A26974why by its fruits and concomitants, and that we take Christ for Lord as well as Saviour, or to save us from the power of sin as well as the guilt?
A26974why is not the willingness he should raign, part of saving, justifying faith?
A26974why then if you be so tender, who may deal with you?
A26974with most do affirm?
A26974would not men think that learning made them dote?
A26974yea and what Law shall condemn them, if the Law of Works justifie them?
A26974yea deny this to the Gospel it self?
A26974— But the Righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven?
A26974— For where was any Legal Righteousness of the good thief on the Cross, condemned for legal unrighteousness?
