A59808 | And of what good use such a Faith can be to us? |
A59808 | But do we not understand what it is we believe? |
A59808 | Do we not know what we mean, when we say, We believe in Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? |
A59808 | Does it require any Philosophy to know how to eat, and drink, and sleep? |
A59808 | For is there any difference between believing God, and believing a Divine Revelation? |
A59808 | How then come they to charge us with believing Contradictions and Impossibilities? |
A59808 | If then this Faith be so plainly contained in Scripture, what makes all this dispute about it? |
A59808 | If we must believe with our Understanding, how can we believe things which we can not understand? |
A59808 | Is Corn, or Fruit, or Herbs, the less nourishing or refreshing, because we know not how they grow? |
A59808 | Is this World, or any thing in it, the less useful to us, because we can not conceive how God created all things of nothing? |
A59808 | Nay, do not our Adversaries understand what we mean by it? |
A59808 | Or because we do not understand the nature of Matter, nor how the several parts of Matter came by their different Virtues and Qualities? |
A59808 | Or can comprehend how he can do and know all things; and be present in all places at once, without Extension, and without Parts? |
A59808 | What Merit there can be in believing such Doctrines? |
A59808 | What are the Arian, Socinian, Pelagian Controversies, but meer Philosophical Disputes, with which these Hereticks corrupted the Catholick Faith? |
A59808 | What makes those, who profess to believe the Scripture, so obstinate against this Faith? |
A59808 | Will not our Food nourish us, unless we understand how it is concocted, and turned into Chyle, and Blood, and Spirits? |
A29782 | ( G) This question is moved by Physitians and Philosophers, about the veins, Whether they have a force or faculty to generate blood? |
A29782 | ( I) It is a great and difficult dispute among Physitians and Philosophers, in what order the parts of the yong are framed? |
A29782 | ( K) It is an old tossed question, whether fishes that want a lung, breathe? |
A29782 | Another question will here arise, whether Stones do differ in forms and species? |
A29782 | But here it will be demanded, whence doth the dissimilitude of the four humours depend, from the efficient or from the matter? |
A29782 | But how can Fish; which seem to be constituted of a 〈 ◊ 〉 Matter, and a mixed body, be produced from water alone, one simple Element, and fluid? |
A29782 | But it is a great dispute amongst late writers, whether Metalls are Bodies Inanimate, or whether they Live? |
A29782 | But says Scaliger, what other thing is that anology of its common principle, then an occult property? |

A29782 | But 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? |
A29782 | Here 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? |
A29782 | Here it may be demanded, whether it may perpetuate life? |

A66045 | & c. of all them that were capable to do it: but he that doubts only of one, enquires, did he do this? |
A66045 | A. what boots it? |
A66045 | Age, how many years?] |
A66045 | And so likewise may those other Notes, which serve to distinguish the various manners of Pronuntiation, whether Explication[] Interrogation? |
A66045 | Cujus? |
A66045 | Erotesis, or Interrogation, is a kind of Period for the distinction of such sentences as are proposed by way of Question, and is usually thus marked? |
A66045 | Help?] |
A66045 | Help?] |
A66045 | How — you? |
A66045 | I Thou He We Ye They This, That The same, Another A certain, Some body Any Every All Who? |
A66045 | Interrogative; WHO? |

A66045 | [ How are you?] |
A66045 | [ what doth it Profit?] |
A66045 | is the Pronoun All, taken in pieces, with an interrogation; For he that enquires who did this, means, doubting of all, did such a one? |
A66045 | or such a one? |
A66045 | what? |
A66045 | which? |
A66045 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 is, What manner, or How? |
A66045 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 is, What time, or When? |
A53055 | ? |
A53055 | Although 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? |
A53055 | And shall we say, there is no sense in the heel, because no knowledge of it in the head? |
A53055 | As for example; how many several Touches belong to the body? |
A53055 | As for her Poems, where are the exceptions to these? |
A53055 | Besides, great God, thy will is just, for why? |
A53055 | Besides, who knowes but that the very thoughts of men may be known by the temper of their body? |
A53055 | But where should this Swarm, or Troop, or Flight, or Essences go, unlesse they think this thin matter is an Essence, evaporates to nothing? |
A53055 | For shall we say, A man doth not know, because he doth not know what another man knows, or some higher power? |
A53055 | IN infinite can no perfection be, For why? |
A53055 | If 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? |
A53055 | Now some may say, or ask, why I should think snow is made triangular wayes? |
A53055 | Some will say, what sense hath man, or any other Animal when they are dead? |
A53055 | To 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? |
A53055 | VVHY 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? |
A53055 | Why then all these are new opinions, and grounded upon Reason, I say some, but they are Paradoxes, what then? |
A53055 | Yet that my arguments, and proofs are new; for what ancient Philosophers have preached after my way? |
A53055 | and my application old, for what is older then eternity? |
A53055 | for how many several postures may the face draw it self into at one time? |
A53055 | such a question I ask, why beauty should forcibly attract the eye? |
A70185 | And if that great Man, possibly one of the greatest that ever was, must be believed a Sceptick, who would not ambitiously affect the title? |
A70185 | And is not this enough to ground the belief of their diversity? |
A70185 | And who that adorer of Des- Cartes that professeth Scepticism? |
A70185 | But how came it to be so defined? |
A70185 | But what need of more? |
A70185 | But what that is, who is''t will determine? |
A70185 | But who is our Authors Peripatetick that concludes heat to be the Atomes of Fire? |
A70185 | Can not we distinguish the motions of our parts; though we know not their first springs and exact beginnings? |
A70185 | How the things that answer to these distinct possibilities are united, and of what compounded? |
A70185 | How these SMALLER SEMINAL parts were so order''d, and framed? |
A70185 | I enquire further therefore, whether any thing of the Form did actually Praeexist in this Power of the Matter, or not? |
A70185 | I inquire then, are these Substantial Forms produced of something, or of nothing? |
A70185 | Quando itaque petit, Unde Anima veniat? |
A70185 | Reponendum est, An dubitet unde Homo veniat? |
A70185 | The question is then, How heat is known to be the effect of Fire? |
A70185 | What else means the distinction of the Schools of actions imperate and elicit? |
A70185 | Whether this Interpretation be not arbitrary? |
A70185 | Yea how will our Author answer for the Assertion to his Master Aristotle? |
A70185 | and how just think you is your charge of my Reflections as a piece of irreverence to Antiquity? |
A70185 | or discern a difference between the apple and the twig it grows on; except we could see the point where one begins and the other endeth? |
A70185 | why must the common speech of all mankinde be alter''d, and what all the world cals parts, be call''d possibilities of division? |
A42816 | And did they, think we, understand the Interest of the Roman Church? |
A42816 | And if we go beyond the Creed for the Essentials of Faith; who can tell where we shall stop? |
A42816 | And now O inhabitants of Ierusalem, and men of Iudah, judge I pray you between me, and my vineyard; are not my ways equal? |
A42816 | And what Ends of a Party they did? |
A42816 | And what can Religion get this way? |
A42816 | And what can we say next, if we consent to the Accusation? |
A42816 | And wherein have I wearied thee? |
A42816 | And would it not be vain self- contradiction to use Arguments against their Decrees, though they are never so unreasonable? |
A42816 | But what is this to the disadvantage of Reason, to which indeed those sorts of wisdom are as contrary, as they are to Religion? |
A42816 | Did these know what they recommended? |
A42816 | For what advantage can the Atheist, and Infidel expect greater, than this, That Reason is against Religion? |
A42816 | He 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 Fowles? |
A42816 | How apply General Propositions to our own particular cases? |
A42816 | How can we compare one Scripture with another? |
A42816 | How can we draw any Consequence from it? |
A42816 | How much then is a man better than a sheep? |
A42816 | How tell what is to be taken in the Letter; what in the mystery, what plainly; what in a Figure? |
A42816 | If God so cloath the grass, how much more will he cloath you? |
A42816 | If so, we kindly serve their ends, and promote their Designs in the way, which they account best, while we vilifie, and disparage Reason? |
A42816 | May we not follow blindly whatever the Infallible Man at Rome, and his Councils, say? |
A42816 | O my people what have I done unto thee? |
A42816 | Or to alledge Consequences from Scripture against any of their Articles, though never so contrary to the Holy Oracles? |
A42816 | Thus if any one should ask me, How the Divine Nature is united to the Humane? |
A42816 | What according to strict, and rigorous truth? |
A42816 | What by way of accommodation to our apprehensions? |
A42816 | What can they propose more? |
A42816 | What do they pretend? |
A42816 | Where is the Scribe? |
A42816 | Why will ye die ye house of Israel? |
A42816 | Would it not be blameless, and irreprovable for us to give up our understandings implicitly to the Dictates, and Declarations of that Church? |
A42816 | and are not your ways unequal? |
A67135 | Are the Turks so barbarous, or so spightful to themselves, that they will not use Gun- powder, because it was taught them by Christians? |
A67135 | But, Whether the Moderns have said any Thing upon these Matters, without Copying out of other Men''s Writings? |
A67135 | Does any Man believe that the Use of the Load- Stone will ever be forgotten? |
A67135 | Have Letters been ever lost, since the Time of that first Cadmus, whoever he was, that found them out? |
A67135 | Have any of these Conquerors, since Tubal- Cain''s Time, once suffered the Use of Metals, Iron for Instance, or Gold, to be lost in the World? |
A67135 | Have the Arts of Planting, of Weaving, or of Building, been at any Time intermitted? |
A67135 | Have these Arts a fixed Foundation in Nature; or were they not attained to by Study? |
A67135 | How came Jason and the Argonauts not to grow richer by this Fleece? |
A67135 | If by Nature, why have we heard of no Orators among the Inhabitants of the Bay of Soldania, or eminent Poets in Peru? |
A67135 | If by Study, why not now, as well as formerly, since Printing has made Learning cheap and easie? |
A67135 | If not the Process it self, yet at least the Memory that once there was such a Process? |
A67135 | If so, why no more Tradition of it? |
A67135 | If we come to Particulars, who of the Ancients ever unravelled the Chronology of the Old Testament like Archbishop Usher, and Sir John Marsham? |
A67135 | Or could these Egyptians make Gold without it? |
A67135 | Or was Mankind ever put to the Trouble of inventing them a second Time? |
A67135 | Sir William Temple''s next Enquiry is, From whence both the Ancients and Moderns have received their Knowledge? |
A67135 | The Question which is first to be asked here, is, Where are the Books and Monuments wherein these Treasures were deposited for so many Ages? |
A67135 | There are frequent Accounts of Pul, Tiglath- Pileser, Shalmanezer, Sennacherib, Esar- haddon, Nebuchadnezzar, Evil- merodach, Belshazzar; and who not? |
A67135 | This may be done without undervaluing what the Ancients wrote upon these noble Subjects: And the Question is not, Whether they were great Men? |
A67135 | What a Difference in the Way of Thinking must this needs create in the World? |
A67135 | What can be the Reason of this Disparity? |
A67135 | Who has acquainted the World with the Geography of Genesis, or the Natural History of the Bible, like Monsieur Bochart? |
A67135 | Who has ever given so rational and so intelligible an Account of the Design and Intent of the several parts of the ceremonial Law as Dr. Spencer? |
A67135 | Will it be urged, that here also they had an Advantage by being born first? |
A67135 | Yet how few of them understood the Languages of those Countries of which they disputed? |
A67135 | and, Who have carried their Enquiries furthest? |
A30484 | 6. if you render it, he stretched out the Earth near the Waters, How is that one of God''s great wonders? |
A30484 | A shadow for a substance? |
A30484 | An Earth founded upon the Seas, and establish''d upon the Waters, is not this the Earth we have describ''d? |
A30484 | And have we not the same reason to understand this Temple of the World, whereof S. Peter speaks, to be threefold in succession? |
A30484 | And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A30484 | And to what end were they propos''d to us there, if it was not intended that they should be understood, sooner or later? |
A30484 | And 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? |
A30484 | And what then? |
A30484 | And you are to observe here that the Apostle does not proceed against them barely by authority; for what would that have booted? |
A30484 | Be it so; yet what is the ground of those allusions? |
A30484 | Because a Rock hangs its nose over the Sea, must the body of the Earth be said to be stretched over the waters? |
A30484 | Besides, what is it, as I ask''d before, that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of? |
A30484 | But where is that necessity in this Case? |
A30484 | But why may not this be writ in a Vulgar style, as well as the rest? |
A30484 | Can any body doubt or question, but all these four Texts refer to the same thing? |
A30484 | Can not God make new Heavens and a new Earth, as easily as he made the Old ones? |
A30484 | Have 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? |
A30484 | How freely and unconcernedly does Scripture speak of God Allmighty, according to the opinions of the vulgar? |
A30484 | If 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? |
A30484 | If one met with this sentence* in a Greek Author, who would ever render it standing in the water and out of the water? |
A30484 | In the 6th verse he makes an inference,* Whereby the World, that then was, perish''d in a Deluge; what does this whereby relate to? |
A30484 | Is his strength decay''d since that time, or is Matter grown more disobedient? |
A30484 | Or because there are waters in some subterraneous cavities, is the Earth therefore founded upon the Seas? |
A30484 | Secondly, what is it that the Apostle tells these Scoffers they were ignorant of? |
A30484 | That of the Deluge, Moses calls there Tehom- Rabbah, the Great Abyss; and can there be any greater than the forementioned Mother- Abvss? |
A30484 | The Earth is the Lord''s, for he hath founded it near the Seas, Where is the confequence of this? |
A30484 | What is there wonderful in this, that the shores should lie by the Sea- side; Where could they lie else? |
A30484 | What reason or argument is this, why the Earth should be the Lord''s? |
A30484 | What 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? |
A30484 | What watery constitution have they? |
A30484 | When shall this new World appear? |
A30484 | Where can we now find in Nature, such an Earth as has the Seas and the Water for its foundation? |
A30484 | Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the Earth? |
A30484 | Whereupon are the foundat ● ons thereof fastned, and who laid the corner stone? |
A30484 | by reason of what? |
A30484 | or could they pretend to be ignorant of that without making themselves ridiculous both to Jews and Christians? |
A30484 | that there was a Deluge, that destroyed Mankind? |
A30484 | that they were ignorant that the Heavens and the Earth were constituted so and so, before the Flood? |
A30484 | what''s this to the natural World, whereof they were speaking? |
A42819 | And did they, think we, understand the Interest of the Roman Church? |
A42819 | And if we go beyond the Creed for the Essentials of Faith; who can tell where you shall stop? |
A42819 | And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge I pray you be ● … ween me, and my vineyard; are not my ways equal? |
A42819 | And shall we despise our advantages, and forsake them? |
A42819 | And to argue against this supposal, as some do, by Queries, What men are in that other Earth? |
A42819 | And what Ends of a P ● … rty they did? |
A42819 | And what can Religion get this way? |
A42819 | And what can we say next, if we consent to the Accusation? |
A42819 | And wherein have I wearied thee? |
A42819 | And would it not be vain self- contradiction to use Arguments against their Decrees, though they are never so unreasonable? |
A42819 | But what is this to the disadvantage of Reason, to which indeed those sorts of Wisdom are as contrary, as they are to Religion? |
A42819 | Did these know what they recommended? |
A42819 | For what advantage can the Atheist, and Insidel expect greater, than this, That Reason is against Religion? |
A42819 | He 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? |
A42819 | How apply General Propositions to our own particular cases? |
A42819 | How can we compare one Scripture with another? |
A42819 | How can we draw any Consequence from it? |
A42819 | How much more then is a man better than a sheep? |
A42819 | How tell what is to be ● … aken in the Letter; what in the Mystery, what plainly; what in a Figure? |
A42819 | If God so cloath the grass, how much more will he cloath you? |
A42819 | If so, we kindly serve their ends, and promote their Designs in the way, which they account best, while we vili ● … ie, and disparage Reason? |
A42819 | Is this, think we, that Philosophy, that wisdom of this world, which the great Apostle censures and condemns? |
A42819 | May we not follow blindly whatever the Infallible Man at Rome, and his Councils, say? |
A42819 | O my people, what have I done unto thee? |
A42819 | Or to alledge Consequences from Scripture against any of their Articles, though never so contrary to the Holy Oracles? |
A42819 | Shall we give our enemies the Weapons, and all the odds; and so endeavour to insure their Triumphs over us? |
A42819 | Shall we relinquish our ground, and our light, and mu ● … e our selves up in darkness? |
A42819 | Thus if any one should ask me, How the Divine Nature is united to the Humane? |
A42819 | What according to strict, and rigorous truth? |
A42819 | What by way of accommodation to our apprehensions? |
A42819 | What can they propose more? |
A42819 | What do they pretend? |
A42819 | What vanity; what prejudice to Religion can be supposed in this? |
A42819 | Where is the Scribe? |
A42819 | Why will ye die, ye house of Israel? |
A42819 | Would it not be blameless, and irreproveable for us to give up our und ● … rstandings implicitly to the Dictates, and Declarations of that Church? |
A42819 | and are not your ways unequal? |
A42819 | and how saved? |
A42819 | whether fallen? |
A42833 | And how comes it to pass, that we are not aware of any such congenite apprehensions? |
A42833 | And how should we recall the distances of Bodies which lye in a line? |
A42833 | And what happiness is there in a storm of passions? |
A42833 | And what''s a diaphanous body, but the Lights medium, the Air? |
A42833 | But shall we malign it, because it entitles us not to an Omniscience? |
A42833 | By whose direction is the nutriment so regularly distributed unto the respective parts, and how are they kept to their specifick uniformities? |
A42833 | Can nothing be otherwise, which we conceive impossible, to be so? |
A42833 | Can unguided matter keep it self to such exact conformities, as not in the least spot to vary from the species? |
A42833 | Did we learn such an Alphabet in our Embryo- state? |
A42833 | How are the Glories of the Field spun, and by what Pencil are they limn''d in their unaffected bravery? |
A42833 | How do they scramble for their Nuts, and Apples, and how zealous for their pety Victories? |
A42833 | How fond are men of a bundle of opinions, which are no better then a bagge of Cherry- stones? |
A42833 | How is a drop of Dew organiz''d into an Insect, or a lump of Clay into animal Perfections? |
A42833 | If our Returning Lord, shall scarse find faith on earth, where will he look for charity? |
A42833 | Is he sure, that objects are not otherwise sensed by others, then they are by him? |
A42833 | Is it just to condemn the Physitian, because Hephestion dyed? |
A42833 | Is not light more known then this insignificant Energie? |
A42833 | Is our knowledge, and things, so adequately commensurate, as to justifie the affirming, that that can not be, which we comprehend not? |
A42833 | Is''t not possible, and how know we the contrary, but, that something, which alway attends the grosser flame, may be the cause of heat? |
A42833 | Now are not many things certain by the Principles of one, which are impossible to the apprehensions of another? |
A42833 | Now let the Sciolist tell me, why things must needs be so, as his individual senses represent them? |
A42833 | Now 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? |
A42833 | Shall 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? |
A42833 | Shall we, like sullen children, because we have not what we would; contemn what the benignity of Heaven offers us? |
A42833 | We know what we know; but do we know any more? |
A42833 | What a Romance is the story of those impossible concamerations, Intersections, Involutions, and feign''d Rotations of solid Orbs? |
A42833 | What a number of words here have nothing answering them? |
A42833 | What a stir is there for Mint, Anise, and Cummin controversies, while the great practical fundamentals are unstudyed, unobserved? |
A42833 | What is''t then that prevents our Sensations; or if we do perceive, how is''t, that we know it not? |
A42833 | What work do our Imaginations make with Eternity and Immensity? |
A42833 | Who can speak of such fooleries without a Satyr, to see aged Infants so quarrel at put- pin, and the doating world grown child again? |
A42833 | With what an infinite of Law- suits, controversies, and litigious cases doth the world abound? |
A42833 | and how are we gravell''d by their cutting Dilemma''s? |
A42833 | and may not it, and its supposed cause, be only parallel effects? |
A42833 | and why must his sense be the infallible Criterion? |
A43987 | And may not so many frozen Clouds serve for so many Looking- glasses? |
A43987 | And what hinders but that we may think this likely? |
A43987 | As if it be asked, what is Hard? |
A43987 | Besides, how can any whole Body be Moved, unless all its parts be moved together with it? |
A43987 | But if it be asked concerning an Abstract Name, what is it? |
A43987 | But if it be demanded, what is Hardness? |
A43987 | But what is this determinately true, but true upon our knowledge, or evidently true? |
A43987 | But what may be the cause of this decay or weakning? |
A43987 | But what? |
A43987 | But why have they not learned them, unlesse for this reason that none hitherto have taught them in a clear and exact method? |
A43987 | But why should Eternity be called an Abiding Now, rather then an Abiding Then? |
A43987 | But why? |
A43987 | But you will say, by what Sense shall we take notice of Sense? |
A43987 | For 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? |
A43987 | For if concerning the Name of a Body, that is, concerning a Concrete Name, it be asked, what is it? |
A43987 | For to what end is it to do over again that which is already done? |
A43987 | For what shall we say? |
A43987 | For who can commend him that demonstrates thus? |
A43987 | For who does not alwayes and in the same manner understand him that sayes any thing is Extended, or Moved, or not Moved? |
A43987 | From whence therefore can these creatures have their Light, but from lying all day in the Sun- shine, in the hottest time of Summer? |
A43987 | Have not all men one kinde of soule, and the same faculties of mind? |
A43987 | Have they sharper wits then these? |
A43987 | Is the Motion the weaker because the Object is taken away? |
A43987 | Nor 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? |
A43987 | Or am I in the wrong, who think I have found out the construction of both these Problemes by the Rule and Compass onely? |
A43987 | Or how can the internall Parts of it be Moved, but by leaving their Place? |
A43987 | Or lastly, Whence is it that any Body possesseth the same space for sometime? |
A43987 | Or rather, what may the cause be, that being once elevated, they fall down again? |
A43987 | Or that there can be no Vacuum, because Vacuum is nothing, or as they call it, Non Ens? |
A43987 | Or, How comes it to pass that the whole Body by succession is seen now here now there? |
A43987 | They 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? |
A43987 | Were there no Philosophers Natural nor Civil among the ancient Greeks? |
A43987 | What then are these things? |
A43987 | What then can Dayes, Moneths and Yeares be, but the Names of such Computations made in our Mind? |
A43987 | What then is it? |
A43987 | What then makes this difference, except Philosophy? |
A43987 | Why then should not that other of the smalness of some Bodies, become credible at some time or other? |
A43987 | Why therefore being once carried up, doth it fall again? |
A43987 | Why therefore should not reciprocal motion of the parts of the Loadstone contribute as much towards the moving of Iron? |
A43987 | and Pappus himself, was he faulty when he found out the trisection of an Angle by the help of an Hyperbole? |
A43987 | and may they not be fitly disposed for that purpose? |
A43987 | are 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? |
A37496 | Again, 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? |
A37496 | And can not we be enemies to this say y ● u, without hating the blessed word of God? |
A37496 | And how contrary is this Doctrine to Mr. Simpsons? |
A37496 | And how highly hath he honored their Learning, to make it a defence for the Gospel? |
A37496 | And 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? |
A37496 | And last of all, If any say, I my self relate to the University, why then do I speak against it thus? |
A37496 | And was this promise only made to them, and not to all the faithful also, who should believe in Christ through their word? |
A37496 | And what now are the University- Degrees in Divinity to these? |
A37496 | Are Grammar, R ● thorick, Logick, Ethicks, Physicks, Metaphysicks, Mathematicks, the weapons whereby we must defend the Gospel? |
A37496 | But what do they perform at length? |
A37496 | But what strange Phrase is this? |
A37496 | Do not the Saints partake of the Divine Nature? |
A37496 | Doth this man truly believe in the Son of the living God, who make him such an helpless Idol? |
A37496 | For is our Vnion with Christ, the Foundation of error? |
A37496 | For what Humane Learning had Peter and John? |
A37496 | For which of the Philosophers instructed the Apostles? |
A37496 | How can this Doctrine agree with these Scriptures? |
A37496 | How highly hath Mr. Simpson honored Socrates, Pythagoras, Plato and Aristotles,& c. to make them a strong guard for the Person of Christ? |
A37496 | I Answer, what part of Philosophy is here made use of? |
A37496 | I say, doth he believe this word to be of God, which hath done the very works of God? |
A37496 | In what a sad condition then are the common and plain people, that they can not pledge him? |
A37496 | Is it a not madness then to say that we could not understand the Scripture without Aristotle? |
A37496 | Must that word be secured by Aristotle, which delivers all the Elect from sin, death and hell for ever? |
A37496 | Now doth not all this declare a most woful Ignorance of, and enmity to the Gospel of God our Saviour? |
A37496 | Or how shall the Mysterie of faith, and of our union with Christ through faith into one flesh and Spirit with him be known? |
A37496 | Or the new birth, and new Creature, which hath all things new in it, and all those new things, the things of God? |
A37496 | Or what help must they have to teach them Divinity, who have not opportunity to gain Humane Learning? |
A37496 | Quae ergo ● lcemosyna est sic fovere puerulum talem Diaboli in Castris Cainiticis contra Christum? |
A37496 | Quis est sapiens& intelliget haec? |
A37496 | What alms therefore is it to cherish such a child of the Devil in Cains Castles against Christ? |
A37496 | Who but Antichrist himself could have brought in and set up such an Abomination of desolation in the Church of God? |
A37496 | Who is it then? |
A37496 | and 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? |
A37496 | and what is the divine Nature, but the very Nature of God? |
A37496 | and yet openly affirms to the world, that it can not maintain it self, or subsist without the help of Philosophy? |
A37496 | or have true, Believers no real Vnion with Christ, but imaginary? |
A37496 | or who of the Heathens are here quoted? |
A37496 | where he saith, exceeding great and pretious promises are made to us that we thereby should be made partakers of the Divine Nature? |
A96369 | 1. who''d expect Fire out of water? |
A96369 | Again, because a Body is ordered naturally to Act and to Suffer, we ask, what it can or can not do? |
A96369 | Again, 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? |
A96369 | Again, the universall answer is evident to all those questions, Whether God knows Future contingents? |
A96369 | Again; why''t is often sexangular, or rather like a Star with six rayes? |
A96369 | And this sense seems the better: for, what could be the end why God should appear a- walking? |
A96369 | And what did God? |
A96369 | And, how will it unite? |
A96369 | And, that this is true, appears out of those explications of Place, whereby, usually, answer is made to the Question, Where is such a thing? |
A96369 | But, if it be ask''d, what the proposition will signify, if it be referr''d immediately to the effect, as it sounds? |
A96369 | By what or How? |
A96369 | Concerning the proper nature of Body, because''t is Finite, we ask, of what Figure''t is? |
A96369 | Do you ask, What fruits I expect? |
A96369 | Hence, then, those Questions are superfluous, Whether one Form can be the same in divers Matters? |
A96369 | If 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? |
A96369 | If 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? |
A96369 | In what? |
A96369 | Infinite things? |
A96369 | Materia prima? |
A96369 | Mentall or imaginary things? |
A96369 | Negations? |
A96369 | Of this last, we ask, When was the Motion? |
A96369 | Predicates 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? |
A96369 | THe solution, also, of that old Question is evident, Why God made not the World before? |
A96369 | The 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? |
A96369 | The third is, Why God bless''d only the Fishes, Birds and Man; and not the Plants nor Animals? |
A96369 | To the question, therefore, Whether time would passe on were the Sun or Heavens immoveable? |
A96369 | WHat says Theology to this? |
A96369 | What more? |
A96369 | When the Subject is mov''d, we ask, by what? |
A96369 | Why? |
A96369 | You''l ask, wherein consists this action of an Intelligence upon a body? |
A96369 | You''l say, Since a Spirit is a Thing of another order then a body, how can it concurre into the same Thing? |
A96369 | and again, Whether many Forms in one Matter? |
A96369 | and that we answer is said to Act, and the Subject to Suffer from it: when the Subject moves, we ask, what it moves? |
A96369 | and 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? |
A96369 | and, 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? |
A96369 | and, what neighbourhood of one to the other? |
A96369 | because''t is Alterable by others, we ask, how''t is, in respect to those Qualities according to which''t is variable? |
A96369 | but, with the addition of what kind or what in particular? |
A96369 | is 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? |
A96369 | or, what consequence is this, An Angel wills, therefore a Body is rarefy''d? |
A96369 | the secrets of Hearts? |
A96369 | then, how will it be cemented? |
A96369 | whereto 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? |
A49317 | 139 of Mr. Lo ● ks Letter to the Bishop of Worcester? |
A49317 | 15. 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? |
A49317 | And First, how doth he prove that it is necessary that there should be one single, determinate Rule for the future happiness of all Men? |
A49317 | And can we ● hink it reasonable, that God should deal the better with any Man for turning Apostate? |
A49317 | And is not this now a Scheme of Religion worthy of an Immortal Deist? |
A49317 | And is there not requir''d in the 〈 ◊ 〉 the f ● ee determination of it self, though 〈 ◊ 〉 other requisites besides do concur? |
A49317 | And what advantage is this to his cause? |
A49317 | But doth Religion pretend any thing to the contrary? |
A49317 | But how do they prove, that this impression would make the belief of a God irresistible and necessary? |
A49317 | But is it the less Innate, because it is also rational? |
A49317 | But may not a Man err, like a Fool, and yet after enquiry? |
A49317 | But 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? |
A49317 | But what if there be other Arguments to prove the being of a God, must we then reject this as useless? |
A49317 | But why is not the Duty reciprocal? |
A49317 | But why should any such maxim be of more authority than those of St. Paul? |
A49317 | But why should he call the will of Man Inefficax, when at the same time he tells us that it determins the will of God? |
A49317 | But will he argue barely from the Laws not being heard, that therefore there is none? |
A49317 | But yet is there nothing in that admirable contrivance of the whole? |
A49317 | Could 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? |
A49317 | Do ● s not the Soul depend upon God, as to its pres ● rvation in all 〈 ◊ 〉 Actions? |
A49317 | Dost thou not think, that thou art bound to bel ● ● ve and do as they have promis''d for thee? |
A49317 | For if innate ideas are to be examined and judged on by the working of reason, What then? |
A49317 | However 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? |
A49317 | Is it the less day with us, because it is at the same time Night in otber Places? |
A49317 | Is not the light of a Candle a true Light, tho''it be inferiour to that of the Sun? |
A49317 | Is there nothing further r ● quir''d for Action but only thes ●? |
A49317 | Lock indeed say, that these notions are in the same sense Connatural to the Soul, as reason it self is? |
A49317 | May 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? |
A49317 | May not Christ be made to us Wisdom, unless we see all things in the Ideal World? |
A49317 | May not the the Soul of a Child properly be call''d a rational Soul, tho''as yet it can not form a Syllogism? |
A49317 | May there not be such a thing as Divine Grace, tho''at the same ● ime we do not believe it to be irrisistible? |
A49317 | Might not Mans will, if God had so pleas''d, as well determine the motion of his own Arme, as determine the will of God? |
A49317 | Not by a Mediator, for that he says, is unnecessary: Strenu ● asseris, sed quo modò probas? |
A49317 | Nothing in all this worthy of a rational assent? |
A49317 | Now 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? |
A49317 | Or may not matters of Fact done by God be misrepresented as well, as those done by Men? |
A49317 | Since 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? |
A49317 | Some semina vitae moralis, tho''these do not show themselves until such prefixt times, as Providence and the nature of things have appointed for''em? |
A49317 | What necessity is there, that the mode of Humane understanding should be thus fully explain''d at all? |
A49317 | What then? |

A56399 | Besides, what is this Chance at last? |
A56399 | Besides, what order or disposition of the Heavenly Bodies will these men pitch upon, as effective of such consequences? |
A56399 | But do not you know the Theorist is so liberal of that Element, as to furnish out of the Centre with it even to profuseness? |
A56399 | But does he believe his insignificancy will be his security in the common danger, a Pass- port through the Waves? |
A56399 | But how does this Argument comport with the daily testimony of our eyes? |

A34395 | ( Jodocus), d. 1713? |
A34395 | AND moreover also, Why did he drown the old World with Water, and hath purposed to destroy this with Fire? |
A34395 | And how can one expel or drive out another? |
A34395 | And in the Creation of this World, did not the Waters at the Command of God, produce Birds and Fishes? |
A34395 | And shall not this Ocean perpetually abound with its own Efflux to the Production of Creatures, and that with a certain continual Stream? |
A34395 | BUT, Secondly, How can they prove Impenetrability is an Essential Attribute of Body; or that Penetrability is an Essential Attribute of Spirit? |
A34395 | But how can this be without Life or sense? |
A34395 | But if it be demanded of them, from whence this Spirit is sent, and who sendeth it? |
A34395 | But what farther progress in Goodness or Perfection hath a dead Matter? |
A34395 | But whence is it, that when a Body is at length corrupted, out of this Corruption another Species of Things is generated? |
A34395 | For seeing the Soul can so easily penetrate the Body, How can any Corporeal Thing hurt it? |
A34395 | For why doth the Spirit require such an organized Body? |
A34395 | I mean, from that which is its proper Nature, as considered Originally, or in its Beginning, or First Being? |
A34395 | If 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? |
A34395 | Is a Horse then a mere Fabrick or dead Matter? |
A34395 | Moreover, Why is the Spirit or Soul so passible in corporal Pains? |
A34395 | Now how can it be, that this Fountain shall not always plentifully flow, and send from it self Living Waters? |
A34395 | Or how can any Thing, that wanteth Life, enjoy Divine Goodness? |
A34395 | Or, What Attributes do they ascribe to them? |
A34395 | Or, what are those Links or Chains, whereby they have so firm a connexion, and that for so long a space of Time? |
A34395 | Or, which thinkest thou is the worst Degeneration, to bear the Image of a Beast in Spirit, or in Body? |
A34395 | Or, why is it requisite, that the Image of the Object should be sent to it, through the Eye, that it may see it? |
A34395 | THE Second Thing to be considered, is, Whether one Species of Things can be changed into another? |
A34395 | Was it because it was so hard and thick? |
A34395 | What can be here objected against the Justice of God? |
A34395 | What can it see, hear, taste, or feel, either from within or without? |
A34395 | Wherefore do we call a Thing Good? |
A34395 | Whether God Created all Creatures together, or one after another? |
A34395 | Why doth it need a Corporeal Light, to see Corporeal Objects? |
A34395 | Why doth it require a Corporeal Eye so wonderfully formed and organized, that I can see by it? |
A34395 | Why 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? |
A34395 | Why then doth not he that cleaves to a Beast, by the same reason, become one with a Beast? |
A34395 | Yea, how comes it to pass that all kind of Animals are not immediately produced out of one and the same Body? |
A34395 | and shall not such deservedly become like Devils, even as those who led an Angelical Life are made equal with the Angels? |
A34395 | if he hath, which can not be denied, what becomes of this Spirit when the Horse dies? |
A34395 | let 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? |
A34395 | or hath he a Spirit in him, having Knowledge, Sence, and Love, and divers other Faculties and Properties of a Spirit? |
A64353 | 3. of Ecclesiastes? |
A64353 | 3. 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? |
A64353 | And Abraham, the Friend of God, made this expostulation, for which he had no rebuke ▪ Wilt thou destroy the Righteous with the Wicked? |
A64353 | And again, this also, Shall not the Iudg of all the Earth do Right? |
A64353 | And doth not this Philosopher condemn himself, whilst he speaks concerning Pacts which we made at pleasure, teaching the signification of Words? |
A64353 | And first, d what kind of attribute, I pray you, is immaterial or incorporeal substance ▪ Where do you find it in the Scripture? |
A64353 | And he addeth also; Who can answer they shall be better by the return of the dispossessed party? |
A64353 | And what can be said of God, which may betoken honour, if he be once accused as the Author of Sin? |
A64353 | And who knows but that it may be effected by the same name? |
A64353 | And would you learn Christianity from Plato and Aristotle? |
A64353 | Are not your wayes unequal? |
A64353 | Are you then convinced, that God is? |
A64353 | But I must again ask you, what you g will say of all those Martyrs we read of in the History of the Church? |
A64353 | But d what if we be commanded by our lawful Prince, to say with our tongue, we believe not; must we obey such command? |
A64353 | But in what horrid place, and of what confounding quality, are the future torments, if they be not, to single persons eternal? |
A64353 | But seeing there is no such word in the Scripture, how will you warrant it from natural reason? |
A64353 | But substance( you say) being construed aright, doth signifie something that standeth under, under what, when ascrib''d to God? |
A64353 | But 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? |
A64353 | But what Elusion can be invented touching the foreknowledg of God? |
A64353 | But what answer have you in readiness to those places, where the Scripture speaks distinctly of Body and Soul? |
A64353 | But what av ● ileth Rebounding to the very Act of Sense? |
A64353 | But 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? |
A64353 | But what evasion is sufficient, when you read the History of the Deliverance of St. Peter? |
A64353 | But what will you say, c if perhaps Ratiocination be nothing but the coupling and concatenation of Names, by the Verb Est? |
A64353 | But when is it, that the heavens shall be no more? |
A64353 | But why to you of all men should this seem hard? |
A64353 | But, what great motive is there to this compliance with the civil Power, of any perswasion? |
A64353 | By a what Sense( say you) shall we take notice of Sense? |
A64353 | Curst be the man( what do I wish? |
A64353 | Do you find Magigistrate to signifie any where the person that hath the Sovereign Power, and not every where the Sovereigns Officers? |
A64353 | Do you think it an honour to God to be one of these? |
A64353 | Do you understand the connexion of Substance and Incorporeal? |
A64353 | Et iniquum esse ● um damnare, cui n ● n fuit potestas jussa complere? |
A64353 | For, how could those Objects and this Command conveigh a force into his Will, and thence into his Arm, to slay his Son? |
A64353 | Have you not read what our Lord said to his disciples, after his resurrection? |
A64353 | I could repeat to you, divers sayings of the ancient deceivers in Moralitie; such as are, Armatus leges ut o ● gitem? |
A64353 | If Impressions were, not only Instruments, but acts of Sense; might we not strongly argue, that a Looking- glass saw, and a Lute heard? |
A64353 | If then there be one Phantasm in one part, and a second in another, by what imaginable power can they confer? |
A64353 | Is not my way equal? |
A64353 | Is that your meaning? |
A64353 | It is something, you''l say, that being without Body stands under — stands under what? |
A64353 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
A64353 | Seeing by the Hypothesis, the impotent World exists, and an infinite power also; who else can be imagined this Omnipotent Architect? |
A64353 | What 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? |
A64353 | What is then to be understood by eternal Torment, if we aright interpret the Holy Scripture? |
A64353 | What maketh a Superiour Law, but a Superiour Power, declaring his Will in some particular instances, to be obey''d? |
A64353 | What need is there of answer upon answer in the present case? |
A64353 | What then seemeth to you to be the place and state of the damned? |
A64353 | What will not a man say rather then acknowledge himself in an errour, though the thing it self speaketh it? |
A64353 | Where find you the Supreme Civil Magistrate( for him you mean) to be constituted a Judge of true and false? |
A64353 | Where is your Reason in these words, considering the ingeniousness of divers Dumb- men, excelling that of many who are loudly talkative? |
A64353 | Wherefore St. Paul saith a O death, where is thy sting? |
A64353 | Why c may not the Angels that appeared to Lot d — be understood of Images of men, supernaturally formed in the fancy? |
A64353 | Why do you t stile the King by the name of Magistrate? |
A64353 | Why then did accused Adam transfer the blame on Eve, and she upon the Serpent? |
A64353 | Will you suffer me to proceed in proving that the future estate of Gods subjects shall be upon earth,& particularly at Ierusalem? |
A64353 | You have thus rendred the words; Who knoweth that the spirit of man goeth upward? |
A64353 | and this, Who knoweth Mr. Hobbes, who is a Mathematician? |
A64353 | for there is great difference betwixt this saying, Who knoweth that Mr. Hobbes is a Mathematician? |
A64353 | the difference not consisting in any Physical causality, but in relation, or respect to divers Terms? |
A64353 | will 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? |
A65786 | Again, why will ours be false, and yours good? |
A65786 | Again, will you use any other form of Discourse then Sylogistical? |
A65786 | An equilateral Triangle? |
A65786 | And admit no other for proof? |
A65786 | And see you not now the figure of the Animal and its respectively homogeneous parts form''d? |
A65786 | And that all of them will cling together, where they begin first to divide? |
A65786 | And that the dryer will grow into different figures? |
A65786 | And, you your selves, how will you evince any one Consequence to be ill? |
A65786 | Are there, perhaps, in all Nature more usual words than Being and Power? |
A65786 | Art, therefore, what is it, but a Rule which commonly fails not? |
A65786 | At length, therefore, he falls again into the old Error, enquiring how corporeal things can have any force upon a naked Spirit? |
A65786 | B. I demand, to what purpose serves this marking? |
A65786 | By this truth we are led to the evident solution of the two following knots; the econd being how the Body and Soul are united? |
A65786 | Can any man be born such a Bruit, as not to own that one thing is distinct from another? |
A65786 | Can 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? |
A65786 | Do they interweave Definitions with self- known truths? |
A65786 | Do they model their Books in Euclid''s Method? |
A65786 | Do they profess to Demonstrate? |
A65786 | Does the difficulty lie here, that this, by which t is distinguish''d should be called a Form? |
A65786 | Especially into certain hollow Vessels; if, by the beats of the boyling moisture, they be extended and thrust out in length? |
A65786 | First he asserts this Method is the Daughter of ignorance? |
A65786 | For he that asserts this does he not, at the same time, deny Bigness; and yet clearly he names an Aptitude to Bigness? |
A65786 | For, he asks farther, whence the Soul comes? |
A65786 | For, 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? |
A65786 | For, what''s more manifest than that Geometricians require a streight Line to be drawn from one point to another? |
A65786 | For, whence shall what you say derive any appearance? |
A65786 | For, who can doubt but that a Body, as Long, is terminated: and therefore can forbid an End or Term to be assign''d it? |
A65786 | For, who has sufficiently fifted this, who, or by whose judgment they are called wise, that have pronounced this of the Peripateticks? |
A65786 | Have so many prodigious wits of your Ancesters been sent abroad over all the Christian World, but to sell Smoak and Bubbles for Jewels& Pearls? |
A65786 | Have you yourselves the patience to be till''d on through so many years exercises, only to the like emptiness? |
A65786 | Here now enquire whence Aristotle has got an Authority with the Vulgar? |
A65786 | How blindly does the Sceptick dispute these things? |
A65786 | How have you the confidence to attaque any one that''s truly a man? |
A65786 | If Aristotle has err''d in a very few things; why, yet, so much anger? |
A65786 | In 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? |
A65786 | Is it for any thing but to notifie the Longitude of the Body they measure? |
A65786 | Is it not just to press on you to prove first whatever you assume; and this without ever coming to an end? |
A65786 | Is not this hugely remarkable, or rather to be admir''d? |
A65786 | It ought, therefore, be objected, at the very begining, to such contemners of Sciences; what attempt you? |
A65786 | Let''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? |
A65786 | May not I say of two brazen Statues, that they agree in Brass, and are distinguisht by their Figures? |
A65786 | NOw we must give ear to the Complaints,( shall I call them?) |
A65786 | Next, he calls it the Inmate of untam''d affections: upon what title? |
A65786 | Nor can I deny that these are neglected in the Schools: but, what''s guilty on''t, but the Scepticism that reigns there? |
A65786 | Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes? |
A65786 | That a Circle be made? |
A65786 | That they demand a Line to be drawn out in infinitum? |
A65786 | That they dispute, whole Volumes full, conconcerning Lines and Superficies? |
A65786 | They 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? |
A65786 | To conclude, What is there that falls under mans use, wherein some kind of Art is not exercised? |
A65786 | What blind Tiresias could not as truly give verdict of Colours, perhaps''t is white, perhaps not? |
A65786 | What could be look''d for more silly from Midas''s ears? |
A65786 | What if I should say, that it never fails? |
A65786 | What need I mention Humane Conversation, but especially Negotiation? |
A65786 | What says the Sceptick? |
A65786 | What wonder now is it, if that ingenious Person derided such solemn trifles? |
A65786 | What''s your meaning? |
A65786 | When, therefore, he asks, Whence comes the Soul? |
A65786 | Whether there be at all any certainty attainable, at least of one Proposition or one Reasonment, which we call a Sylogism? |
A65786 | Which of the Moderns has more happily unbowel''d Nature than Digby, who at every turn is mindful of Aristotle, and candidly accepts his Dictates? |
A65786 | Who is so ignorant, that he knows not that bigger things, at the same distance, strike the eye in a more obtuse Angle and stronglier? |
A65786 | Who knows not that Figure, if plain, as objected to the eye, is nothing else but Quantity more spacious or contracted this or that way? |
A65786 | Will you tell us how it ought to be, to be good, you I say that grant none to be evident?'' |
A65786 | and how t is united to the Body? |
A65786 | for, 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? |
A65786 | for, if there can be nothing certain in Humane matters, why do we instruct Infants and Boys? |
A65786 | it must be answered with a question, Whether he doubts whence the man comes? |
A65786 | or, if it be distinct, can he assert t is distinguish''d by nothing? |
A65786 | shall we not allow Philosophy its growing time? |
A65786 | what a strange unreasonableness is this, not to let me call that a Form, which I see distinguish one from the other? |
A65786 | what''s your aim? |
A65786 | who would have look''d for this brand from a Sceptick? |
A65786 | why strive we to perswade Youth into those things which seem True to us? |
A65786 | you that profess your selves to know nothing, do you object ignorance to others? |
A65786 | — You that profess you know not whether there be any or no; how rashly do you affirm it to dwell alwayes with untam''d affections? |
A61130 | 8. v. 8. he reproves the Wicked in these words, How do ye say we are wise, and the Law of the Lord is with us? |
A61130 | ? |
A61130 | And he said, Lord God whereby shall I know that I shall Inherit it? |
A61130 | And lastly, Whether that which he prophesied in the Name of the Lord, were agreeable to the Religion and Laws of the Country? |
A61130 | And who shall then be the Interpreters of it? |
A61130 | Asking likewise because Adam was ashamed, whether he had eaten of the forbidden Tree? |
A61130 | Can not Religion and Faith be defended unless Men be professedly ignorant, and bid Reason farewell? |
A61130 | Certainly such Men''s Folly exceeds their Piety: What troubles them? |
A61130 | Do not these two Texts directly oppose one another? |
A61130 | Full of very great fear they came again to Moses, and said, We have heard Gods Voice out of the midst of the Fire: Now therefore why should we dye? |
A61130 | God there reproves the Iews saying, who is there even among you that would have shut the Doors for nought? |
A61130 | How great a Schism was there occasion''d not long since, by a Controversie in Religion, between the Remonstrants and Contra- remonstrants? |
A61130 | How much more then ought Liberty of Judgment to be allowed, which is truly a Vertue, and should not be supprest? |
A61130 | I confess, by such a Liberty some Inconveniences may sometimes happen: But what Wisdom and Prudence can prevent all Inconveniences? |
A61130 | If any man ask me, by what Right or Authority the Disciples of Christ, who were but private persons, could preach Religion? |
A61130 | If you take away any of the aforesaid Positions or Doctrines, there can be no Obedience; but what God, or what this exemplar of living well is? |
A61130 | Is he the God of the Jews only, is he not also of the Gentiles? |

A41659 | 1. makes this honourable mention of him: Why should I mention Aristotle? |

A41659 | 8. where he is called Wisdom? |
A41659 | And did not Arrius in like manner derive his blasphemous Persuasions touching Christ, from the very same poisoned Fountain? |
A41659 | And does not Plato also give us a description hereof much to the same purpose? |
A41659 | And had not the Pelagian Heresie the same pestiferous root? |
A41659 | And may we expect a wholesome Issue, or Progenie, from such envenomed Parents? |
A41659 | Are not also their Oeconomicks, Politicks, and Mathematicks, greatly defective, and vain? |
A41659 | Aristotle''s works what genuine, what not? |
A41659 | As in the First Figure thus,( in Alcibiades) Just things are they not beautiful? |
A41659 | Besides, how extreamly defectuous are the Pagan Ethicks, both as to Matter, End, Rule, and Principles? |
A41659 | But if we acknowledge the Phenician Philosophie, how much more justly must we Christians acknowledge the Jewish? |
A41659 | Canst thou conceit, that he, who was most ancient, even in Abraham''s daies, saw not Noah, and heard him not discoursing? |
A41659 | Could he possibly have discoursed of these things in such Scriptural Phrasiologie, had he not received some Traditions from Moses Gen. 1.31,& c? |

A41659 | Doest not thou think that he subscribeth to the Mosaick Theologie? |
A41659 | Farther, thou mayest demand whence this Oke Religion( of the Druides) sprang? |
A41659 | For none of the Ancients( yea may not we say of the Moderns also?) |

A41659 | Istamne hos Artem Numen docuisse Suillum; Et Sulco ut Rostrum, Metro habuisse Caput? |
A41659 | Jao, Adonis, Saturne, Jupiter,& c. but from Hebrew Traditions of the true God,& c? |
A41659 | Laertius tels us, that it was much controverted whether Plato doth Dogmatize, or not? |
A41659 | Lastly whence all those Poetick and Fabulous Narrations of the first Chaos, the Golden Age,& c. but from corrupt traditions from Gen. 1,& c? |
A41659 | Must not one be universally finite; or must not the parts be comprehended of the whole? |
A41659 | Philosophorū quis dubitet Platonem esse praecipu ● ● sive acumine disserendi, sive Eloquentiae facultate divina qu ● dā& Homerica? |
A41659 | Prudence what? |
A41659 | Seing there are in the Soul these three; Affections, Powers, Habits; which of these must virtue be? |
A41659 | Shall I hide from Abraham the thing which I do? |

A41659 | This gives us a good decision of that great question amongst the Ancients: Whether Plato Dogmatized? |
A41659 | Unde feret Laudes OPIFEX Artisque, Laborisque, Aut Grates meritas Vtilitatis OPUS? |
A41659 | Virtues Habits; what an Habit is? |
A41659 | Vives denies) why might not Plato by reason of his skill in the Egyptian, and Phenician tongues understand the Scriptures, as well as the Egyptians? |

A41659 | When, Sirs, ye say there is an incomprehension, ye comprehend there is an incomprehension, or not? |
A41659 | Whence had Phaenicia, Egypt, Chaldea, Persia, with our Occidental Parts, their Barbarick Philosophie, but from the sacred Emanations of Sion? |

A41659 | Whether Plato Dogmatized? |
A41659 | Yea, did not Greece it self( esteemed the eye of the World) light her Candle at this Sacred Fire? |
A41659 | and beautiful things, are they not good? |
A41659 | c. 17. who of the Poets, saies he, who of the Sophists was there, who did not drink of the Prophets fountain? |

A41659 | therefore are not just things good? |
A41659 | to teach them Wisdom? |
A41659 | were not these the great Prolisick principles of all Pagan Philosophie? |
A41659 | what grosse mistakes are there in( the greatest among Pagan Philosophers) Aristotle in his Physicks? |
A41659 | what mixtures of vain Imaginations with Judaick Traditions? |

A44631 | ''T is said of Plato, who being ask''d, what God did? |
A44631 | And if so, why not likewise Corporeal? |
A44631 | And is it not as manifest, That some Parts of Wood, when Thinn''d and Rarified by Fire, convert to Smoak? |
A44631 | And what Reason does he give; why, no better than as he supposes, That his Globuli may find more passage in watery Drops than in the circumjacent Air? |
A44631 | And what would he infer from this puzzle of Words, and perplexing of Terms, otherwise than he has precedently mention''d? |
A44631 | Another grand Querie is, From what Cause, or Matter, was the World Originally Compos''d? |
A44631 | As to Number; Whether it be one, or numerously Existing? |
A44631 | As to its Duration, or Continuance; Whether it had any temporary Beginning, or eternally Constituted? |
A44631 | B ● … now does he undertake to Explain his Proposition? |
A44631 | But does not common Experience confute this Imagination? |
A44631 | But here may arise a Querie, Whether Motion can be Attributed to any Thing without Body? |
A44631 | But how does he make good these Admonishments? |

A44631 | Can a Man live and not be sensible, That Substance, in its Bodily signification, has a proper Being? |
A44631 | Concerning the Magnitude of the Universal World, the Questions are; Whether it be Infinite, or Finite, materially replenish''d or not? |
A44631 | I find a Conceit in Plato much more passable, than what is written by Des- Cartes, who being ask''d, What God did? |
A44631 | If a Ball be let fall from the Hand, will it it not rotundly Move suitable to its Figure? |
A44631 | Insomuch, that it may be questioned, Whether, or no, from a Natural Course of Providence the different temperatures of Body and Mind do not proceed? |
A44631 | Is it not manifest, that Elementary Substances are the Ingredients of our Constitutions as they temper our Flesh and Bloud? |
A44631 | Is not Air as much a Body as Iron, and yet perfectly distinguish''d by the compact Durition of the Latter, as its Essential Propriety? |
A44631 | Is not a Wise Man distinguish''d by the Judicious Temper of his Thoughs; the vain by their Levity and insipid Conversation? |
A44631 | Or in what manner it can Move, where Bodies are, or be in Motion, without removing of them? |
A44631 | Or that the Universe, the vast Womb of Nature, might, by its miscarrying admit of Vacuity? |
A44631 | Or, Why the Eyes of a Crab- Fish should burst the Stone engender''d in the Bladder of Man? |
A44631 | V. And next, From whence, or in what manner that Cause and Matter did proceed? |
A44631 | Was ever Fiction so perfectly supposititious as to Fancy, That Space had a Being, and not the Local Continent of Substance? |

A10327 | A Philosophicall Truth? |
A10327 | A Prince, and a Bishop said the Countrey man? |
A10327 | A Scholar must bee credulous; if you teach false doctrine? |
A10327 | And is any man so foolish to seeke to bee wounded, that he may be cured? |
A10327 | And no more but so? |
A10327 | And what if I proove unto you that Cicero, Diogenes, Laertius, and Alexander Aphrodisaeus himselfe do interpret Aristotle, as I do? |
A10327 | And yet shall any man marvell, why I am of opinion, that it is dangerous to speake like Philosophers? |
A10327 | Are yee not d ● ily stirred and incited( like so many Be ● ●) to dispose all your hony extracted out of the flowres of Truth to Gods glory? |
A10327 | Are you to be saved, redeemed and judged of a Philosopher? |
A10327 | But are not Distinguishers like unto this Gellius? |
A10327 | But how many in the meane time have they spoiled with their philosophicall sentences? |
A10327 | But some( like Caracalla) will say to mee; What doest thou condemne Philosophy? |
A10327 | But they that are bound must obey; what must, if thy commands be unjust? |
A10327 | But what doe I mean? |
A10327 | But what does this concerne us say they? |
A10327 | But where is thy sharpe judgement become? |
A10327 | But why do they separate the bounds of Divinity and Philosophy, like the Borders of England and Scotland? |
A10327 | But why dost thou dissent from all Philosophers to no purpose? |
A10327 | D ● d not they( silly men) know how to argue ma ● ers in a phil ● sophicall truth, when they embrace a divine truth? |
A10327 | Divines? |
A10327 | Do not we understād Aristotles meaning? |
A10327 | Do yee professe Christ in the Church in words, and Aristotle in the Schools in good earnest, and Epicurus your lives and actions? |

A10327 | Doest thou not understand Distinctions, how, and in what manner all these opinions may bee true in their kinde? |
A10327 | Doest thou thinke they will the more hardly become Christians for that? |
A10327 | For thy right judgement Donatus, The sexes both divine Give thee a Barbers blessing but Where hadst thou such fine distinctions? |
A10327 | For what is Truth? |
A10327 | Have I therefore erected Corpus Christs Colledge for Divines that Aristotle might have moe followers, and my Saviour no pious servants? |
A10327 | How then can it be possible, that in this very point they write truly that Aristotle erred,& yet( say they) Aristotle erred not? |
A10327 | I pray you( Sir) tell mee, if the Prince goe to Hell, whither shall the BISHOP goe? |

A10327 | If this seemes absurd to them, why doe they finde fault with mee? |
A10327 | Is it not then a shame for our Logicians to disable, and enervate the very first Principles of Logicke? |
A10327 | Is it to deny that to be a Poeme, which wants fabulous matter? |
A10327 | Is thy speech corrupt? |
A10327 | Let us set aside Cicero and other Philosophers; for what doe they here? |
A10327 | No, wee allow none of these? |
A10327 | O what a difference is betwixt even the Heathens, and us Christians? |
A10327 | Rhetoricians contend, whether Rhetoriques proper end bee to perswade soundly, or to speake elegantly and neatly; what need they trouble themselves? |
A10327 | Shall we not reade Aristotle, Plato, Cicero, De ● ● osthenes? |
A10327 | The 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? |
A10327 | They see well enough, that Philosophers do dissent in opinion? |
A10327 | Thinkest thou, that thine opinion cānot be true, unlesse Plato be con ● ute ●? |
A10327 | Virgill gathered gold out of the dunghil of E ● ● ius; and shall we scrape together stinking filth out of the Philosophers Store- house? |

A10327 | What then? |
A10327 | What then? |
A10327 | What were Aristotles slaves able to understand him, and shall not we be able? |
A10327 | What, do yee not know, how that all your jar ● ing, and differing opinions may easily be reconciled by distinguishing? |
A10327 | What, not in verse? |
A10327 | What? |
A10327 | Whither shall wee turn our selves? |
A10327 | Whom therfore wil ye have? |
A10327 | Whom will yee have then, Buridanus, or Bricottus? |
A10327 | Why are yee thus in an uprore, and perplexity, O yee Philosophers? |
A10327 | Why do yee aske mee? |
A10327 | Why doest thou not permit the Athenians to believe Philosophers? |
A10327 | Why so? |
A10327 | Will hee demand what reasons induced me to be of a contrary opinion to most of Aristotles Interpreters now a days? |
A10327 | You have hit the naile on the head ▪ Is this a demonstration, because it is? |
A10327 | an Vniversitie with the Church? |
A10327 | an Vniversity with the Church, or Hereticks with Christians? |
A10327 | and a Theologicall Truth? |
A10327 | and what then? |
A10327 | as Aristotle, when hee takes away ▪ Providence from God? |
A10327 | as Diagoras, when hee denied there was a God? |
A10327 | as Plato, when hee sets up a Purgatory? |

A10327 | doe yee aske? |

A10327 | not when wee declayme, or dispute? |
A10327 | or Porphyrius, who sayes that Angels are to be worshipped? |
A10327 | or as Aristotle, when he teacheth Free- will? |
A10327 | or shall not that be called a Declamation, which is not stuffed with impiety? |
A10327 | or what have Heretiques to doe with Christians? |
A10327 | or with Plato that a mutuall Participation of Wives is to be tolerated? |
A10327 | shall we leave off the old want of defending Aristotle, whom the most learned of the Vniversities have so long time highly esteemed? |
A10327 | shall we say with Epicurus that the soule is mortall? |
A10327 | shall wee not attaine to the knowledge of Historie, Philosophy, Eloquence? |

A10327 | who is that? |
A10327 | whom? |
A10327 | why are ye thus distracted with severall opinions about Summum Bonum? |
A10327 | why doest thou dispute with the Stoicks& Epicureans at Athens, of the resurrection of the dead, and the life to come? |
A10327 | with Aristippus, that Pleasure is Summum Bonum? |
A10327 | would 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?) |
A42813 | And did they, think we, understand the Interest of the Roman Church? |
A42813 | And how the Distances of Bodies that lie in a Line? |
A42813 | And 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? |
A42813 | And if this be all, Why should not a bag of Dust be of as firm a Consistence, as Marble or Adamant? |
A42813 | And if we go beyond the Creed for the Essentials of Faith; who can tell where we shall stop? |
A42813 | And now, Can the Sun borrow its Light from the Bottomless Abyss? |
A42813 | And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and Men of Judah, judge I pray you between me and my vineyard; are not my ways equal? |
A42813 | And shall we despise our Advantages, and forsake them? |
A42813 | And 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? |
A42813 | And what are Aristotle''s peragrations of Asia, to all these? |
A42813 | And what can Religion get this way? |
A42813 | And what can we say next, if allow of the Accusation? |
A42813 | And wherein have I wearied thee? |
A42813 | And who knoweth which way the Conclusions may fall? |
A42813 | And who yet knows how far, and to what Discoveries this Invention may be improved? |
A42813 | And will he lend his Legions, to assist the Armies of his Enemy against him? |
A42813 | And would it not be vain self- contradiction to use Arguments against their Decrees, though they are never so unreasonable? |
A42813 | And, 3. why must the common Speech of all Mankind be altered? |
A42813 | But how shall the Power be known to be so, when we so little understand the Capacities, and extent of the Abilities of Lower Agents? |
A42813 | But if our Remembrance arise from the easie motion of the Spirits through the opened passages( according to this Hypothesis)? |
A42813 | But that is this to the disadvantage of Reason; to which those sorts of Wisdom are as contrary, as they are to Religion? |
A42813 | But the doubt remains still, what the Agent is that hath this power? |
A42813 | But we frequently hear an insulting Objection against this Philosophical Society, in the Question, What have they done? |
A42813 | But what need more? |
A42813 | Can Fire freeze, and Water burn? |
A42813 | Can Heat and Warmth flow in upon the World from the Regions of Snow and Ice? |
A42813 | Can Natures, so infinitely contrary, communicate, and jump in Projects, that are destructive to each others known Interests? |
A42813 | Can a Cedar shoot up out of the Earth like a Blade of Grass? |
A42813 | Did these know what they did? |
A42813 | For could they expect that such mighty Projects as these should ripen in a moment? |
A42813 | For what advantage can the Atheist and Infidel expect greater than this, That Reason is against Religion? |
A42813 | He 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? |
A42813 | Here I ask''d him, what entertainment this their preaching met with in Bensalem? |
A42813 | Here I ask''d, whether Those men were against all Metaphysicks? |
A42813 | Here I ask''d, whether these men were not enemies to Ari- stotle, and his Philosophy? |
A42813 | How apply general Propositions to our own particular Cases? |
A42813 | How came it to be lost without memory among their Followers, who were such superstitious porers upon their Writings? |
A42813 | How can we compare one Scripture with another? |
A42813 | How can we draw any Consequence from it? |
A42813 | How it moves them? |
A42813 | How much more then is a Man better than a Sheep? |
A42813 | How tell what is to be taken in the Letter; what in the Mystery, what plainly; whatin a Figure? |
A42813 | How the things that answer to these distinct Possibilities are united, and of what compounded? |
A42813 | How then do we so distinctly remember such a variety of Objects, whose Images pass the same way? |
A42813 | I pray''d him to acquaint me with their Opinion of the MATHEMATICKS? |
A42813 | I say, What are the gleanings of a few mercenary Hunters, Fowlers, and Fishermen, over one part of Asia, to these Advantages? |
A42813 | If God so clothe the Grass, how much more will be clothe you? |
A42813 | Is there any Balsam in the Cockatrices Egg? |
A42813 | Is this, think we, that Philosophy, that Wisdom of this World, which the great Apostle censures and condemns? |
A42813 | It hath indeed been a great Dispute among Interpreters, whether the real Samuel was raised, or the Devil in his likeness? |
A42813 | May we not follow blindly whatever the Infallible Man at Rome and his Councils say? |
A42813 | O my People, what have I done unto thee? |
A42813 | Or to alledge Consequences from Scripture against any of their Articles, though never so contrary to the Holy Oracles? |
A42813 | Shall we give our Enemies the Weapons, and all the odds, and so endeavour to insure their Triumphs over us? |
A42813 | Shall we relinquish our Ground, and our Light, and muffle our selves up in darkness? |
A42813 | State, what I mean by Religion? |
A42813 | Thus if any one should ask me, How the Divine Nature is united to the Humane? |
A42813 | To argue against this Supposal, as some do, by Queries, What Men are in that other Earth? |
A42813 | To make a due return to this, we must consider a great and difficult Problem, which is, What is a Real Miracle? |
A42813 | What according to strict and rigorous Truth? |
A42813 | What by way of accommodation to our Apprehensions? |
A42813 | What can they propose more? |
A42813 | What do they pretend? |
A42813 | What medium, what distance, what temper is necessary to convey Objects to us just so, as they are in the realities of Nature? |
A42813 | What vanity; what prejudice to Religion can be supposed in this? |
A42813 | When there are such continual motions through the Brain from numerous other Objects? |
A42813 | Where is the Scribe? |
A42813 | Whether Electrical and Magnetick Vertues are altered by Cold? |
A42813 | Whether fallen? |
A42813 | Who can say he hath seen Nature in its beginnings? |
A42813 | Why should not the impell''d Spirits find other open passages, besides those made by the thing we would remember? |
A42813 | Why will ye die, O ye House of Israel? |
A42813 | Will the Prince of Darkness strengthen the Arm that is stretcht out to pluck his Usurp''t Scepter, and his Spoils from him? |
A42813 | Would it not be blameless and irreprovable for us to give up our Understandings implicitly to the Dictates and Declarations of that Church? |
A42813 | Yea, in such a pervious substance as that is, why should not those subtile Bodies meet, every where an easie passage? |
A42813 | and are not your ways unequal? |
A42813 | and how saved? |
A42813 | and how? |
A42813 | and what all the World calls Parts be call''d Possibilities of Division? |
A42813 | and what by Reason? |
A42813 | or an Elephant grow to the vastness of his bulk, as soon as a little Insect can be form''d of a drop of Dew? |
A42813 | or what sort they allowed? |

A09500 | Whether fishes doe breath or not, seeing they have no lungs the bellowes of breath? |
A09500 | Whether, with Aristotle, predicamentall or not? |
A09500 | Which admit were true: yet who, amongst the sonnes of men, before Columbus, did ever adventure to discover it? |
A09500 | Why are they not seene in the day time ▪ What be these complainings and laughing which sometimes are heard in the ayre? |
A09500 | Why see we not such inflammations in the day time as in the night? |
A09500 | Why, some Plants and Herbes ripen sooner than others? |
A09500 | Yea, but saith my curiosist, what language shall we speake in Heaven? |
A09500 | an idle question; what other language should we have but Hallelujuhs, hymnes, and praises to Him who sitteth upon the Throne? |
A09500 | and How? |
A09500 | and second de anima fondly giveth forth? |
A09500 | for our curious Our anographers by their doings( I warrant you) shall exclude them out of all Heavens: for why say they? |
A09500 | how soone a man may encompasse it, as in the first Treatise of the secrets of nature may be seene? |
A09500 | if a War be lawfull, why not a Duell? |
A09500 | if there bee any apart by this?) |
A09500 | mutuall, or that it holdeth onely of the creature, not of the Creator also? |
A09500 | or whether is Time the consumer, or the producer of things? |
A09500 | or, if there shall be one after this is consummated? |
A09500 | since there are so inaccessible high mountaines and such long tracts of plaine valleys scattered over it all? |
A09500 | what have they advantaged( I say) by giving up the vastnesse of the firmament so unmeasurably large as they doe? |
A09500 | whether hell be there or not? |
A59247 | Again, Let us ask what Colour or Figure it is of? |
A59247 | Again, since the Bodies are put to cause them, how can we think they are nothing like them? |
A59247 | And I did really intend that Sceptical Men should ask, — Quid profert dignum tanto promissor hiatu? |
A59247 | And is not this enough? |
A59247 | And this gives an Entire Satisfaction to every Man who is capable of Knowing Common Morality,( as, who is not?) |
A59247 | And, Who sees not, that, from this Proposition, Every Man is Rational, it follows, that Peter, John, and each particular Man, is Rational? |
A59247 | And, whence must we take those Differences? |
A59247 | Are they Corporeal, or are they Spiritual, or under what Head shall we rank them? |
A59247 | BUT how can the Things be in our Understanding? |
A59247 | Besides, what should the Soul do with two Material Comparts; one, Organical; the other, Inorganical? |
A59247 | But what needs more than meerly his ascribing Materiality to it, at least, permitting it to belong to it? |
A59247 | But, if no Evidence can be had, what Necessity is there at all of Judging one way or other? |
A59247 | But, should any Sceptick ask why the Idea of Yellow is the Idea of Yellow? |
A59247 | But, suppose this so; why must General Maxims be held Dangerous and Faulty, when the Fault Confessedly lies in other Things? |
A59247 | But, what Good can this do to any, but to such as have renounc''d Common Sense, even to Ridiculousness? |
A59247 | But; what needs any more, since Mr. Locke has already Confuted that Position beyond possibility of any Rational Reply? |
A59247 | Can any Man think that Art and Reflexion do add no Advantage to Untaught Nature? |
A59247 | Can not we suspend our Judgment till Evidence appears; or whether it does ever appear, or not? |
A59247 | Can the Memory be said to Retain what is not? |
A59247 | Does the Mind see the Thing without, by sending out her Rayes of Knowledge to it? |
A59247 | First, If it were the same in Sense, where''s the Harm? |
A59247 | For( to wave my former Proofs) I ask him whence he had first the Notion or Idea of Space? |
A59247 | For, First, What other Reason had they from Nature to put such a Power in the Soul? |
A59247 | For, what are Names, but the Words which signifie those Ideas? |
A59247 | From other Common Heads? |
A59247 | He ask''d, Why? |
A59247 | He 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? |
A59247 | How many are there in the world who are reputed for Learned men, and yet have no Principles which are not taken from Fancy? |
A59247 | How many ways does he distort, wind, turn, poize, stretch, and ply the parts of his Body? |
A59247 | I answer; What have we to do with Ideas when we Predicate? |
A59247 | I 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? |
A59247 | I ask, whether, by his Thought, he means his Judgment? |
A59247 | I 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? |
A59247 | I 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? |
A59247 | If in it, the old Question returns, How got they thither? |
A59247 | If 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? |
A59247 | If then we have an Idea or Likeness of Universality, or Generality, What is it like? |
A59247 | If this be true, why are they call''d[ Ideas,] which either signifies Resemblances, or Nothing? |
A59247 | In Answer; First, I ask how he knows God would keep the next Bodies, in that Case, from Closing? |
A59247 | In like manner, should he ask why a Man is a Man? |
A59247 | In order to which I ask the Ideists, Whether the Modes or Accidents are Distinct Entities from the Substance or Thing? |
A59247 | Is Reviving the Notion of Retaining, they being rather of a Contrary Sense to one another? |
A59247 | Is it Blew, Green, or Yellow? |
A59247 | Is it Rare or Dense, Hot, Cold, Moist, or Dry? |
A59247 | Is it Round, Four- square, or Triangular? |
A59247 | Is it a Yard in Length, or but an Inch? |
A59247 | Is it as Thick as a Wall, or as Thin as a Wafer? |
A59247 | Is it as little as a Barly- corn, or as big as a House? |
A59247 | Lastly, Are those Species they put, when purify''d, perfectly like the Thing, or imperfectly? |
A59247 | Lastly, What means his making it then to be Judgment, when we have no Demonstrative Evidence? |
A59247 | Lastly, What means this Power in the Mind to revive Perceptions? |
A59247 | Lastly, What needs this Circumlocution? |
A59247 | May we not as well say we may see Light, and yet have no Notion of it? |
A59247 | May we not judge a Conclusion that is Demonstrated to be True, because it is Demonstrated? |
A59247 | Must they hover still in these few common Heads of Notions? |
A59247 | Neither 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? |
A59247 | Next, how can we know that those Ideas move regularly, and not rather very differently, in diverse Men? |
A59247 | Next, how does it follow, that, because we can not explicate it, we do not know it? |
A59247 | Now, 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? |
A59247 | Now, things standing thus, who can think Logick, or Syllogism( the main End of it,) are to be slighted as of little or no use? |
A59247 | Now, 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? |
A59247 | Now, who can think, that meerly to be at Ease, is this Greatest Good; or the Motive, Object, End, or Determiner of the Will? |
A59247 | On the other side; How facil and natural is my Way of our gaining an Idea or Notion of Infinite? |
A59247 | Or can Remembring be conceived to be the same Notion with Reproduction? |
A59247 | Or can there be a Repository of Nothing? |
A59247 | Or rather if so many, why no more? |
A59247 | Or that an Identical Proposition is True, because''t is Self- evident? |
A59247 | Or that no Intrinsecal Predicate instructs, but only what is Extrinsecal to any Nature? |
A59247 | Or what means it to say, he intends[ Man] by those many Words, and yet would not have it thought so? |
A59247 | Or what other thing was it good for, but to purifie the Species? |
A59247 | Or who bids us Judge at all till we see a good( or Conclusive) Reason why? |
A59247 | Or, if they be not signify''d by the Word[ Man,] how is the Proposition True? |
A59247 | Or, that, when they strike the Eye, they stop there, and are not carry''d into the Brain? |
A59247 | Otherwise, why could not these do it as well as General Maxims? |
A59247 | Secondly, Were those Phantasms, before they were Spiritualiz''d, in the Soul, or Intellectus, or out of it? |
A59247 | So, 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? |
A59247 | That, to Unman our selves, so as to seem Crack''d- Brain''d, or Drunk, is the Way to become Soberly Rational? |
A59247 | The Proper Opposite to Probable, is Improbable; and, what has Improbable to do with Absolute? |
A59247 | The Question then is, What is the Proper Subject of Light? |
A59247 | This perform''d, what are they to do next? |
A59247 | Upon my Delay, they call''d me again, and ask''d, Why I came not, having promis''d it? |
A59247 | What Feats of Activity does a Rope- dancer show us? |
A59247 | Where then shall we fix the Bounds, or whence take any Certain Measures of Greater and Lesser Probabilities? |
A59247 | Whether it be not probable, that Thinking is the Action, and not the Essence of the Soul? |
A59247 | Why are we in such hast to hazard falling into Error? |
A59247 | Without which, what do we know? |
A59247 | a Cloth, Board, or Paper, thus figured and colour''d? |
A59247 | how few Men are there, who will profess to Demonstrate in Philosophy, or to reduce their Discourses to Evidence? |
A48888 | ( as St. Paul witnesses in his First to the Corinthians, many were) before these things in the Epistles were revealed to them? |
A48888 | 14. is very just: How shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? |
A48888 | 23. and said, How long dost thou make us doubt? |
A48888 | 24, 25. coming about him, said unto him, How long dost thou make us doubt? |
A48888 | 27. Who the People took him for? |
A48888 | 3,& c. When it should be, and what should be the signs of his coming? |
A48888 | 46. and do not the things which I say? |
A48888 | 62. in these, I am; Is an Answer only to this Question, Art thou then the Son of God? |
A48888 | 70. asking Christ, whether he were the Son of God; plainly demand of him, whether he were the Messiah? |
A48888 | And he saith unto them, but whom say ye that I am? |
A48888 | And how often at Fifty or Threescore years old are thinking Men told, what they wonder how they could miss thinking of? |
A48888 | And if thou art, why dost thou let me, thy Fore runner, languish in Prison? |
A48888 | And if what is there delivered, a Christian may believe or disbelieve, and yet nevertheless be a Member of Christ''s Church, and one of the Faithful? |
A48888 | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another mans, who shall give you that which is your own? |
A48888 | And is it for nothing, that he is so instant with them to bring forth Fruit? |
A48888 | And many of the people believed in him, and said, when the Messiah cometh, will he do more Miracles than this man hath done? |
A48888 | And many of the people believed on him, and said, when the Messiah cometh, will be do more miracles than these which this man hath done? |
A48888 | And many, even of his Disciples, said, It was an hard saying, who can bear it? |
A48888 | And not to that other, Art thou the Messiah? |
A48888 | And to all this, in the Conclusion, he adds this Solemn Sanction; Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say? |
A48888 | And what does he believe? |
A48888 | And what was it that he would have them believe, and be confirmed in the belief of? |
A48888 | And what would they have done, if he had before them professed himself to have been the Messiah, their King and Deliverer? |
A48888 | And when the Chief Priests asked them, Why they brought him not? |
A48888 | And where he can not put several Texts, and make them consist together; What Remedy? |
A48888 | And would any one think himself fairly dealt with, that was so used? |
A48888 | Apollos, another Preacher of the Gospel, when he was instructed in the way of God more perfectly, what did he teach but this same Doctrine? |
A48888 | As much as to say, Is not this the Messiah? |
A48888 | Asking, Art thou he that should come, or do we expect another? |
A48888 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
A48888 | Believest thou this? |
A48888 | Believest thou this? |
A48888 | But I ask them to tell me seriously, whether half their People have leisure to study? |
A48888 | But how then shall the Scripture be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |
A48888 | But the Law given by Moses being not given to all Mankind, How are all men sinners; since without a Law there is no Transgression? |
A48888 | But then I ask, whether Posterity would not either have suspected the Story, or that some Art had been used to gain that Testimony from Pilate? |
A48888 | But where was it that their Obligation was throughly known and allowed, and they received as Precepts of a Law; Of the highest Law, the Law of Nature? |
A48888 | Can any thing be more express than these words of our Lord? |
A48888 | Did the saying of Aristippus, or Confutius, give it an Authority? |
A48888 | Do the Rulers know indeed that this is the very Messiah? |
A48888 | Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
A48888 | Does He their King Command, and is it an indifferent thing? |
A48888 | For there he says, that his Works bear witness of him: And what was that witness? |
A48888 | For upon his answering to their Question, Art thou then the Son of God? |
A48888 | For, say they, have any of the Rulers, who are skilled in the Law, or of the Devout and learned Pharisees, acknowledged him to be the Messiah? |
A48888 | God will render to every one, how? |
A48888 | Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A48888 | He answered, who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? |
A48888 | He asked his Disciples, whom do men say that I am? |
A48888 | He perceived their Craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? |
A48888 | He said, What is written in the Law? |
A48888 | He says thus to them: Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keep the Law? |
A48888 | He says, Which? |
A48888 | Here again he says, that his works bear witness? |
A48888 | Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God: Which made them all cry our, Art thou then the Son of God? |
A48888 | Hereupon the Jews demand, What sign dost thou shew us, since thou doest these things? |
A48888 | How can this man give us his flesh to eat? |
A48888 | How hath this one truth changed the Nature of things in the World? |
A48888 | How readest thou? |
A48888 | How shall they believe that whereof they have not heard? |
A48888 | How was this done? |
A48888 | How was this executed? |
A48888 | I am come to send fire on the Earth, says our Saviour, and what if it be already kindled? |
A48888 | Iesus answered him, Sayest thou this of thy self, or did others tell it thee of me? |
A48888 | Iesus answered them, Do you now believe? |
A48888 | Iesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A48888 | Iesus answered, Do ye now believe? |
A48888 | Iesus said unto them, yea; Have ye never read, Out of the months of Babes and Sucklings thou hast perfected Praise? |
A48888 | If it be asked, whether the Revelation to the Patriarchs by Moses, did not teach this, and why that was not enough? |
A48888 | If they had so great a desire to lay hold on him, why did they not? |
A48888 | If ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true Riches? |
A48888 | If you will admit them to forsake Reason in one point, why not in another? |
A48888 | Is it lawful for us to give Tribute to Caesar or no? |
A48888 | Is not this the Messiah? |
A48888 | Is not this the Son of David? |
A48888 | It will here possibly be asked, Quorsum perditio hoec? |
A48888 | Jesus said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? |
A48888 | Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the Kingdom to Israel? |
A48888 | May a Christian safely question or doubt of them? |
A48888 | Must I expect deliverance from any other? |
A48888 | One comes to him, and asks him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit Eternal Life? |
A48888 | Or will their Happiness or Misery not at all depend upon it, whether they obey or no? |
A48888 | Perhaps it will be demanded, Why did God give so hard a Law to Mankind, that to the Apostles time no one of Adam''s Issue had kept it? |
A48888 | Peter said, Lord, how often shall my Brother sin against me, and I forgive him? |
A48888 | Pilate answered, am I a Iew? |
A48888 | Pilate said unto them the third time, Why? |
A48888 | Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a King then? |
A48888 | That being asked, whether he were the King of the Iews? |
A48888 | That he teaching in the Temple at the Feast of Tabernacles, The Iews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? |
A48888 | That is, in short, art thou the Messiah? |
A48888 | The Iews came round about him, and said unto him, how long dost thou make us doubt? |
A48888 | The Pharisees demanded, When the Kingdom of God should come? |
A48888 | Then Pilate entred again into the Iudgment- Hall, and called Iesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Iews? |
A48888 | Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? |
A48888 | Then Simon Peter answered him; Lord, to whom shall we go? |
A48888 | Then came the Iews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? |
A48888 | Then gathered the Chief Priests and Pharisees a Council, and said, what do we? |
A48888 | Then said some of them at Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? |
A48888 | Then said the Iews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? |
A48888 | Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? |
A48888 | Then shall the Righteous Answer him, saying, Lord, When saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? |
A48888 | They ask him, v. 67. whether he were the Messiah? |
A48888 | They said therefore, what is this that he saith, a little while? |
A48888 | They telling him, for Iohn the Baptist, or one of the old Prophets risen from the Dead; He asked, what they themselves thought? |
A48888 | Thine own Nation and the Chief Priest have delivered thee unto me: What hast thou done? |
A48888 | Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve Legions of Angels? |
A48888 | This Faith for which God justified Abraham, what was it? |
A48888 | Till seven times? |
A48888 | To the Lawyer, asking him, What shall I do to inherit Eternal Life? |
A48888 | Upon the News of our Saviour''s raising Lazarus from the Dead, The Chief Priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrim, and said, what do we? |
A48888 | Was Zeno a Lawgiver to Mankind? |
A48888 | We have heard out of the Law, that the Messiah abideth for ever; And how sayest thou, that the Son of Man must be lifted up? |
A48888 | What Accusation bring you against this man? |
A48888 | What Advantage have we by Iesus Christ? |
A48888 | What evil hath he done? |
A48888 | What he should do to inherit eternal life? |
A48888 | What is written in the Law? |
A48888 | What need was there Of a Saviour? |
A48888 | What need we any further witnesses? |
A48888 | What other Faith could these Miracles produce in them, who saw them, but that this was He, of whom the Scripture spoke, who was to be their Deliverer? |
A48888 | What think ye of the Messiah, whose Son is he? |
A48888 | What was his word, which, as we are told, v. 41. they gladly received, and thereupon were baptized? |
A48888 | What was it he preached? |
A48888 | What will all this do, to give the World a compleat morality; That may be to Mankind, the unquestionable Rule of Life and Manners? |
A48888 | What would this amount to, towards being a steady Rule; A certain transcript of a Law that we are under? |
A48888 | When the Chief Priests and Scribes were sore displeased, and said unto him, Hearest thou what they say? |
A48888 | When the Kingdom of God, i. e. of the Messiah, should come? |
A48888 | Whence art thou? |
A48888 | Where he, upon fair endeavours, understands it not; How can he avoid being ignorant? |
A48888 | Where was there any such Code, that Mankind might have recourse to, as their unerring Rule, before our Saviour''s time? |
A48888 | Where will you stop? |
A48888 | Whereupon the Pharisees reply, Are ye also deceived? |
A48888 | Who is this Son of Man? |
A48888 | Who, ever made out all the parts of it; Put them together; And shewed the World their obligation? |
A48888 | Whose Image and Inscription has it? |
A48888 | Why askest thou me? |
A48888 | Why go you about to kill me? |
A48888 | Will ye also go away? |
A48888 | but a Reprehension to them, that they were the Betrayers and Murderers of the Iust One? |
A48888 | how readest thou? |
A48888 | i. e. Dost thou then own thy self to be the Messiah? |
A48888 | i. e. Why do ye''lay Snares for me? |
A48888 | of him: And what is that witness? |

A28549 | ( g) But by whose Accusations are we Ruin''d? |
A28549 | ( l) But what, did I deserve the same hard measure even from the Senatours also? |
A28549 | Am I out in this? |
A28549 | And do not those things likewise which are thought to be neither Sensitive, nor Vegetative, Desire that, which Properly belongs to them? |
A28549 | And dost thou doubt that''t is Natural to the Feet to perform that Office? |
A28549 | And dost thou not know, quoth she, that thou art somewhat besides that? |
A28549 | And dost thou not see then how Narrow, and Strait that Glory is, which you labour to spread, and dilate? |
A28549 | And dost thou think it a Brave thing to Shine in Rich Apparel? |
A28549 | And hast thou found out the Cause, quoth she, why it is so? |
A28549 | And how can it be that sith thou knowest what is the BEGINING of things, thou shouldst be Ignorant of their END? |
A28549 | And is this the( c) Reward I must have for being so Observant of thy Instructions? |
A28549 | And now who does not see that the Name of Nobility is vain, and insignificant? |
A28549 | And shall the unsatiable Desires of men oblige Me to constancy, which is so contrary to my Manners? |
A28549 | And what is the Health of Soules but Virtue, or True Goodness? |
A28549 | And what more pernicious plague can there be, than an Enemy that has gotten into an Intimacy with us? |
A28549 | And what? |
A28549 | And whilst He lived, did not His Master( b) Socrates obtain a glorious Victory, over an Unjust Death, by my Assistance? |
A28549 | Are Riches to be Priz''d in regard of Your Nature, or of Their own? |
A28549 | Are they mistaken who judge that the Chiefe Good is that, which is most Worthy of Veneration? |
A28549 | Are you Delighted with the Beauty of Fair, and Fruitful Fields? |
A28549 | Art Thou He, who being nourisht with my Milk, and brought up with my stronger Meats, didst arrive to the strength of a Manlike Understanding? |
A28549 | Art thou Adorn''d with the Various Colours, of the Flowers, that come forth in the Spring, and the Begining of Summer? |
A28549 | Art thou Desirous of Dignities? |
A28549 | Art thou Happy in that thou hast a long Train of Servants to wait on thee? |
A28549 | Art thou Ignorant that it is a Law of Thy Country, that none shall be Banisht, who Would rather Abide in It? |
A28549 | Art thou able then to tell me what Man is? |
A28549 | Art thou not mov''d at the sight of this( b) Place? |
A28549 | Art thou taken with the Splendor of Gemms, or Pretious stones? |
A28549 | As thou thinkest fit, said I. Dost thou not then judge that to be Good, which is Profitable? |
A28549 | At how high a rate wouldest thou have purchac''d this, when thou seemedst to thy selfe to be a Fortunate Man? |
A28549 | BUT Glory, many times how Deceitful, and Base is it? |
A28549 | BUT may Kingdomes, and the Favour of Kings make a man Powerful? |
A28549 | BUT what shall I say of Dignities, and Power, which you, being Ignorant of the True Dignity, and Power, do so highly Extol? |
A28549 | But amongst those, with whom they have their Begining, do they allwayes Endure? |
A28549 | But are you so void of any Proper, and Internal Good, that you should seeke Your Goods Without, in things remote from Your own Nature? |
A28549 | But canst thou doubt but that he had Power, whom thou seest to have Effected what he Will''d, and Design''d? |
A28549 | But dost thou endeavour to put a stop to the Turning of her Wheele? |
A28549 | But dost thou grant that whatsoever is Good, is Good by the Participation of the Soveraign Good? |
A28549 | But dost thou think in good earnest that that Felicity, which thus passeth away, is any thing worth? |
A28549 | But dost thou think that what includes Sufficiency, and Power in it''s own Nature may be Despis''d? |
A28549 | But how can Riches drive away Indigence? |
A28549 | But how knowest thou from what All things derive their Being? |
A28549 | But if thou considerest the Body, what canst thou conceive to be more Weak than Man, whom a Little Fly may have strength enough to Destroy? |

A28549 | But what is there, which any one can do against another, which he may not suffer from another? |
A28549 | But what is this Reward? |
A28549 | But what kind of Power is that which you so Prayse, and Desire? |
A28549 | But what, a Pleasing Condition, which is given as a Reward to Good men, do the Vulgar esteem it to be Evill? |
A28549 | But what, quoth I, If any man should desire to have All of Them together? |
A28549 | But who is there, that can either give that which is Good for us, or drive away that which is Evill, but GOD, the Governour, and Physitian of Soules? |
A28549 | But whoso Lacketh any thing, has he Attein''d to a State of Sufficiency? |
A28549 | But wouldest thou know the( h) matter that is lay''d to my charge? |
A28549 | But, what would ye have, that yee make so much adoe about the things that are in the power of Fortune? |
A28549 | By what Rule, said she, is the World Govern''d? |
A28549 | Can that, thinkest thou, which hath Need of nothing, Want Power? |
A28549 | Can ye ever be Greater, than Elephants, Stronger than Bulls? |
A28549 | Canst thou expect Safety from such Friends, whom Fortune not Virtue has given thee? |
A28549 | Could NERO''S Power make him Obey His Reason, and his Fury Tame? |
A28549 | Did our Studies deserve this? |
A28549 | Do Good men therefore get that, which they Desire? |
A28549 | Do I not seem to have heaped up matter enough of Strife, and Contention against my self? |
A28549 | Do not Rich men suffer Hunger, and Thirst? |
A28549 | Do not the Limbs of Mony''d men feel Cold in the Winter? |
A28549 | Do they Know what they should follow, and endeavour after, but their Lusts draw them aside some other way? |
A28549 | Do they Knowingly, and Willfully forsake that which is Good, and turn to the way of Vice? |
A28549 | Do we not judge True Happiness, quoth she, to be Good? |
A28549 | Do you not consider, O ye Earthly Creatures, What Your selves are, and What they are, whom You are Set over? |
A28549 | Does he Wallow in the Mire of Filthy Lusts? |
A28549 | Dost thou deny, quoth she, that every Wicked man is worthy of Punishment? |
A28549 | Dost thou judge him to be Powerful, who is encompast with a Guard? |
A28549 | Dost thou judge that man to be Powerful, whom thou seest so Unable to do what he would? |
A28549 | Dost thou know me? |
A28549 | Dost thou see any one to commit Rapine, being Enflam''d with the Love of Riches? |
A28549 | Dost thou think otherwise? |
A28549 | Dost thou think that Fortune is Changed in her Disposition towards Thee? |
A28549 | Dost thou think that any of these fraile, and perishing things can bring a man to this Estate? |
A28549 | Even in Ancient Times, before the Dayes of our Plato, have we not Fought a great Fight against the Rashness of Folly, and Ignorance? |
A28549 | For as touching those Forged( i) Letters, whereby I am Accus''d to have hoped the Romane Freedome, to what purpose should I speak? |
A28549 | For if amongst the Mise thou shouldst see one to assume to himselfe a Power over the rest; wouldest thou not break forth into Laughter? |
A28549 | For what is there that wants a Soule, and a fit composure of Members, and Features, which should seem Beauteous and Amiable to a Rational Nature? |
A28549 | For what shall I say of the Favourites of Kings, sith I shew that the State of Kingdomes is so weake, and tottering? |
A28549 | For what, do they seem to be in an Error, who would fain Arrive to such a State, that they may no longer stand in need of any thing? |
A28549 | For who but an egregious Foole will Hate Good men? |
A28549 | For why do they leave Virtue, and follow Vice? |
A28549 | For, is this the first time that Wisedome hath been brought into Danger amongst Wicked, and Pervers Manners? |
A28549 | Friends, why did yee so oft Me Happy call? |
A28549 | HAst thou any perceivance of these things, sayes She, and do they make any impression upon thy mind? |
A28549 | Hast thou never been made acquainted with my Manners? |
A28549 | How is that, quoth I? |
A28549 | How is that, said I? |
A28549 | How is that? |
A28549 | How not, when their Felicity endures for ever? |
A28549 | How should it be otherwise? |
A28549 | How shouldst thou not confess it, sith we see it so frequently that the Possessors are depriv''d of their Wealth? |
A28549 | How so, quoth she? |
A28549 | How, quoth I? |
A28549 | I would have thee give an Answear to this Question; dost thou Remember that thou art a Man? |
A28549 | If any thing should Endeavour it, quoth she, would it ever Prevaile against Him, whom we have granted by the Right of True Happiness to be Almighty? |
A28549 | If he knowes it not, what Happiness can there be in Ignorance, the Blindness of the Soule? |
A28549 | If the Power of Kingdomes be the Cause of Happiness, doth it not lessen Felicity, or bring in Misery, if in any part it be Defective? |
A28549 | If they are Fair, and Beauteous in their own Nature, what is that to Thee? |
A28549 | If they can not Performe that which they promise, Wanting many Good things, is it not manifest that they have but the False Shew of Felicity? |
A28549 | In what have I Injur''d thee? |
A28549 | Is Glory, or Renown nothing- worth? |
A28549 | Is any one Fierce, and Unquiet, exercising his Tongue perpetually in Brauls, and Contentious speeches? |
A28549 | Is he Dull, and Slothful? |
A28549 | Is he exceeding Timorous, and ready to Flye, where there is not the least cause of any Fear? |
A28549 | Is he light, and Inconstant, allwayes changing his Resolutions? |
A28549 | Is he unable to suppress his Anger, breaking forth into the greatest Fury upon the least provocation? |
A28549 | Is it Glory that thou Aimest at? |
A28549 | Is it Power, that thou wouldest have? |
A28549 | Is not Power to be reckon''d in the number of Good things? |
A28549 | Is there any thing more Dear, and Pretious to Thee, than Thy Selfe? |
A28549 | Is this the Library, which thou didst choose for thy constant Seat in my House? |
A28549 | Is this the Sense of thy Question, whether I know my selfe to be a Living- Creature Rational, and Mortal? |
A28549 | Is''t that they Differ in their Lawes, And Manners that they so Pursue Each other? |
A28549 | Now what is more contemptible than such an Office? |
A28549 | O Mistress, what thinkest thou? |
A28549 | O man, why dost thou thus complain of my carriage towards thee? |
A28549 | Or are those Fruits Thine that come forth so plenteously in their Seasons? |
A28549 | SEEST thou then what Filth all Villany walloweth in, and how great a Splendor there is in True Virtue, and Integrity? |
A28549 | See then, if following even the Opinion of the Vulgar we have not Prov''d somewhat very contrary to the Common Opinion? |
A28549 | Seest thou not how great disgrace Dignities bring upon Persons of Base, and Unworthy Dispositions? |
A28549 | Shall I Confess it? |
A28549 | Shall I call that an Offence to have Desir''d the Safety of that Order? |
A28549 | Shall I only be hind''red from the exercise of my power? |
A28549 | Shall the Glory of a Roman go thither where the Name of ROME could never arrive? |
A28549 | Should I be affraid of any false Accusation, and Startle at it, as if some strange thing had happen''d unto me? |
A28549 | Sith all this World is like the Dust, That''s Driven with the Wind, Why wilt thou to Mans Fortunes trust, Which none shall Constant find? |
A28549 | Swifter than Tygers? |
A28549 | Tell me, since thou dost not doubt but that the World is Govern''d by GOD, dost thou consider also by what Rule He Governs it? |
A28549 | Then said She, At how great a rate wouldest thou value it, if thou couldest know what Goodness is? |
A28549 | Therefore whilst thou didst most Abound with Riches, didst thou sustein this Insufficiency? |
A28549 | Therefore, O ye sons of Men, why do yee seek for True Happiness Without, which is plac''d Within Your selves? |
A28549 | To Attein to the Possession of GOOD? |
A28549 | WHy do you, Mortals, labour so To Get your Deaths with your own Hands? |
A28549 | Was not Fortune in the least asham''d of Innocence Accus''d, or of the Baseness of the Accusers? |
A28549 | What hath GOD a Power then to Do EVIL? |
A28549 | What is it then, ô Man, that hath cast thee into so deep Sadness, and Discontent? |
A28549 | What is that, quoth I? |
A28549 | What man is there so Happy, but he would be desirous to change his Estate, if he should once give way to Impatience? |
A28549 | What matter is it therefore, whether thou goest from it, or it from thee? |
A28549 | What quoth I? |
A28549 | What quoth I? |
A28549 | What shall I wish to such Deluded Men? |
A28549 | What then? |
A28549 | What then? |
A28549 | What then? |
A28549 | What then? |
A28549 | What, art thou( a) Asinus ad Lyram? |
A28549 | What, didst thou come forth but lately upon the Stage of this Life? |
A28549 | What, doth any of these Peculiarly appertain to the? |
A28549 | What, quoth I? |
A28549 | What, quoth I? |
A28549 | What, 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? |
A28549 | Whence one of thy Family thought he had just cause to raise these Questions: If there be a GOD, whence come Evil things? |
A28549 | Wher''s( b) Cato, or( c) Brutus? |
A28549 | Where lye the Bones now of( a) Fabricius? |
A28549 | Whither quoth I? |
A28549 | Who can deny that? |
A28549 | Why are stern Tyrants, who soon lose their Powers Admir''d by Mortals? |
A28549 | Why do Proud Men in vain Desire to be Free''d from Mortality? |
A28549 | Why do you Boast of your Large Pedigree? |
A28549 | Why dost Thou not their Works respect, So that Just men no Harms may Fear? |
A28549 | Why should we thus see Justice rent, And Broken on wild Fortunes Wheele, So that such grievous Punishment, As Felons Merit, Good men Feele? |
A28549 | Why then dost thou sigh, and groan? |
A28549 | Why weepest thou? |
A28549 | Will any one conceit, said she, that Men Can Do All things? |
A28549 | Wilt thou deny, said she, that to Go is a Motion Natural to men? |
A28549 | Wilt thou hear the Manner of it? |
A28549 | Wilt thou therefore come to a reckoning with Fortune? |
A28549 | but what is more Feeble than Ignorance, or Spiritual Blindness? |
A28549 | but whence come the Good, if there be none? |
A28549 | but who does not scorn, and despise one, that is a Slave to that most vile, and fraile thing, the Body? |
A28549 | canst thou remove a Mind settled upon the Firm Principles of Truth, and Virtue, from the State of Peace, and Tranquillity? |
A28549 | darest thou to Boast thy selfe in the Brightness of the Heavens? |
A28549 | didst 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? |
A28549 | dost thou not remember that( b) Paulus wept at the Calamity of King( c) Perseus, whom he had taken Captive? |
A28549 | dost 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? |
A28549 | hast thou a mind to undergoe such false Accusations, as have been brought against me? |
A28549 | how is it possible, quoth I, that I should ever Forget this? |
A28549 | if they were left destitute of this great, and almost irresistable Assistance of Nature encouraging, and directing them? |
A28549 | is it Shame, or Stupidity that hath seized on thee? |
A28549 | is it because they are Ignorant of the True Good? |
A28549 | is it not Gold, or great Heaps of Mony? |
A28549 | is that feeble and without strength, which is unquestionably to be prefer''d before All things whatsoever? |
A28549 | or could my Condemnation Fore determin''d Qualify Those men to be my accusers? |
A28549 | or that on the contrary it deserves the greatest Veneration? |
A28549 | or what it is that the Whole Course of Nature Tends unto? |
A28549 | quoth she: dost thou suppose that It is Obscure, and Ignoble, or that It shines with the Brightness of the greatest Glory? |
A28549 | shall I Deny what I am Accus''d of, that I be not a shame to thee? |
A28549 | shall we be like them, whom we have demonstrated to be no other than a sort of Irrational Creatures? |
A28549 | they that boast of the Goods of the Body, how small, how weak a Possession do they rely on? |
A28549 | thou shalt be hurried through all manner of Hardships, and never be in Safety ▪ wouldst thou lead a Voluptuous life? |
A28549 | what Goods, that thou mightest justly call Thine own, have we taken from thee? |
A28549 | what canst thou Enforce upon a Soule that has Attein''d to it''s proper Freedome? |
A28549 | what else, quoth I? |
A28549 | what if I have not wholly withdrawn my selfe from thee? |
A28549 | what if this very Inconstancy of mine be a just cause why thou shouldest hope for Better things? |
A28549 | what is Death it selfe, but only the Awakening of our nobler Faculties to the Participation of a freer, and more enlarged life? |
A28549 | what is the best kind of Riches? |
A28549 | what is the loud complaint of Tragedies, but that Fortune disregards, and overturns the happiest Kingdomes? |
A28549 | what is their Sickness, but Vice? |
A28549 | what, quoth I? |
A28549 | what, said I? |
A28549 | what? |
A28549 | where thou didst so often sit, and discourse with me, touching the Knowledg of things both Divine, and Humane? |
A28549 | who depends upon his Servants to make him seem to be Mighty? |
A28549 | who is continually in fear of those, whom he keeps in Awe? |
A28549 | why art thou ravisht with vain Joyes? |
A28549 | why dost thou embrace External things, as if they were Thine own? |
A28549 | why dost thou flow with Tears? |
A28549 | why holdest thou thy peace? |
A28549 | why not? |
A28549 | wilt 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? |
A53058 | Again, your Author askes, What glue or cement holds the parts of hard matter in Stones and Metals together? |
A53058 | Also I might ask them, what they conceive the natural mind of man to be; whether material or immaterial? |
A53058 | Also I would ask them, whether there can be many, or but one Idea of God? |
A53058 | And are not Animals, Vegetables and Minerals inclosed in the Elements? |
A53058 | And do not Stones produce Fire? |
A53058 | And doth not Earth produce Metal? |
A53058 | And whether they do not make there Aphorismes and Theoremes by their manner of Intelligence? |
A53058 | And why may not Minerals and Elements be produced by the way of Eggs as well as Vegetables and Animals? |
A53058 | As for example, Animal Kind, have they not Internal and External Parts, and so Internal and External Motions? |
A53058 | As for your other question, Whether there be more then five Senses? |
A53058 | Besides, how do they know that all bodies would rest in the Center of this terrestriaal Globe, if they came thither? |
A53058 | Besides, how is it possible to find out the onely cause by so numerous variations of the effects? |
A53058 | But I pray give me leave to ask, Madam, whether the solid Parts are not Instruments for the nourishment of the Venal blood? |
A53058 | But I would fain know the cause which makes Ferment? |
A53058 | But as for the question, whether there be nothing in the Universe, but meer body? |
A53058 | But concerning Artists, you would fain know, Madam, whether the Artist be beholden to the conceptions of the Student? |
A53058 | But concerning Water, you may ask me, Madam, Whether congeal''d Water, as Ice, if it never thaw, remains Water? |
A53058 | But from whence came this Transgression? |
A53058 | But if Nature hath power from God to produce all kinds of Vegetables, Minerals, Elements, Animals, and other sorts of Creatures, Why not also Man? |
A53058 | But 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? |
A53058 | But 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? |
A53058 | But then I ask, From whence comes saltness and sowreness? |
A53058 | But 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? |
A53058 | But 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? |
A53058 | But you ask whether Nature hath Infinite souls? |
A53058 | But you may ask, Whether one extreme can change into another? |
A53058 | But you may say, What doth the sitting Hen contribute then to the production of the Chicken? |
A53058 | But you will say, How comes it, that many creatures may be made by one or two? |
A53058 | But you would fain know, how Nature, which is Infinite Matter, acts by self- motion? |
A53058 | But you would fain know, whether fire, if it were left at liberty, would not turn to a Globous figure? |
A53058 | But, 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? |
A53058 | But, says your Author, Let us see, if all their heads laid together can contrive the anatomical Fabrick of any Creature that liveth? |
A53058 | Can we say, Man hath not a free Will, because he hath not an absolute free Will, as God hath? |
A53058 | Certainly, when he saw the Immortal Soul in a Vision, to be a formal Light, how could he discern what he saw, without Reason? |
A53058 | Doth it imply any Impiety or Irreligiousness? |
A53058 | Doth not God punish, as well as reward? |
A53058 | Doth this oppose the omnipotency and Infinite wisdom of God? |
A53058 | First, you desire to be informed what I mean by Phantasmes and Ideas? |
A53058 | For how can motion, being no substance, but onely a mode, quit one body, and pass into another? |
A53058 | From whence came his Free- will? |
A53058 | From whence came this Perswasion? |
A53058 | From whence came this Pride? |
A53058 | From whence came this ill Nature? |
A53058 | Have not all men one kind of soul, and the same faculties of mind? |
A53058 | Have they not reason to praise God for their happiness, and shall they not remember the Mercies of God, and the Merits of his Son? |
A53058 | He says it is Blasphemy; But how will he prove it? |
A53058 | How could he distinguish between Light and Darkness, without Reason? |
A53058 | How could he know the Image of the Mind to be the Image of God, without the distinguishment of Reason? |
A53058 | How, says he, can they in framing several parts confer notes? |
A53058 | I 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? |
A53058 | I pray consider, Madam, is there any thing in Nature that is without motion? |
A53058 | I''le conclude with your Authors question, What the cause is, that a man doth not feel the weight of Water in Water? |
A53058 | If they say many, then there must be several, distinct Deitical Ideas; if but one, Where doth this Idea reside? |
A53058 | Is it not blasphemy to make the Infinite God of a frail and humane shape, and to compare the most Holy to a sinful Creature? |
A53058 | Is not God able to give such power to Matter, as to an other Incorporeal substance? |
A53058 | Lastly your desire was to know, Whether a part of matter may be so small, as it can not be made less? |
A53058 | Likewise do not Fruits, Roots, Flowers and Herbs, produce Worms? |
A53058 | MADAM, 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? |
A53058 | MADAM, MY answer to your Authors question, Why flame ascends in a pointed figure? |
A53058 | MADAM, 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? |
A53058 | MADAM, YOur Author demands, Whether there was ever any man, that was not mortal, and whether there be any mortal that had not a beginning? |
A53058 | MADAM, YOur desire is to know, since I say Nature is Wise, Whether all her parts must be wise also? |
A53058 | MADAM, YOur desire is to know, why sound is louder in a Vault, and in a large Room then in a less? |
A53058 | Nay, for what use should God have created such a number of different simples, Vegetables, and Minerals, if one could do all the business? |
A53058 | Nay, is it not an absurdity, to confine and inclose that Incomprehensible Being in a finite figure? |
A53058 | Nay, why may not the whole World be likened unto an Egg? |
A53058 | Next I''le ask you, Whether a Consumption be a disease, or not? |

A53058 | Next, your question is, what I do understand by Sensitive Life? |
A53058 | Onely one Question I will add, Whether the Soul be subject to Sickness and Pain? |
A53058 | Perchance you will say the Hands; but I answer, how can it be the Hands motion, if it be in the Instrument? |
A53058 | Shall or can we bind up Gods actions with our weak opinions and foolish arguments? |
A53058 | So if a particular Creature hath such opposite qualities and mixtures of corporeal motions, what will the Creator have which is self- moving Matter? |
A53058 | Surely, Madam, it exceedeth my understanding; for, first, I can not conceive how life, which is a meer Nothing, can be a lodging to something? |
A53058 | The eleventh question is, What is meant by Natural Theology? |
A53058 | The fifth question, is, Whether the greatest man have always the greatest strength? |

A53058 | The tenth question is, Whether the Elements be the onely matter out of which all other Creatures are produced? |
A53058 | The third question is, Why some few drops of water sprinkled upon fire, do encrease its flame? |
A53058 | Then some might ask from whence came sin? |
A53058 | Thus all was made by Gods Command, and who executed his Command but the Material servant of God, Nature? |
A53058 | What difference is there not amongst Grapes, as the Malago, Muscadel, and other Grapes, and so of all the rest of Vegetables? |
A53058 | What reason of absurdity lies herein? |
A53058 | Whence came his Fall? |
A53058 | Why shall Reason, which is the chief part of the natural Soul, be wanting? |
A53058 | Why 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? |
A53058 | You may ask me how that can be? |
A53058 | You may ask me, what are digestive motions? |
A53058 | You may ask me, what is meant by strong lines? |
A53058 | You will ask me, Madam, What then, is Memory the Cause of Speech? |
A53058 | You will say, How can Rest be a motion? |
A53058 | You will say, How can a finite part have an Idea of infinite nature? |
A53058 | Your Fifth question is, Whether Animals are not generated by the way of Metamorphosing? |
A53058 | Your Seventh question is, Whether all Animals, as also Vegetables, are made or generated by the way of Eggs? |

A53058 | Your Tenth question is, Whether Souls are producible, or can be produced? |
A53058 | Your eighth question is, Whether the Sensitive Matter can and doth work in it self and its own substance and degree? |
A53058 | Your fifth question is, Whether this inanimate Matter do never rest? |
A53058 | Your fifth question was, Why an Asp will kill insensibly by biting? |
A53058 | Your fourth question is, How it comes that Snow and Salt mixt together doth make Ice? |
A53058 | Your fourth question is, What this sensitive matter works upon? |
A53058 | Your fourth question is, Whether an Animal Creature is perfectly shaped or formed at the first Conception? |

A53058 | Your second question is, Whether the Production or Generation of animals is as the Conceptions of the Brain, which the Learned say are Immaterial? |

A53058 | Your 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? |
A53058 | Your seventh question is, Whether that, which I name the rational part of self- moving Matter makes as much variety as the sensitive? |

A53058 | Your third question is, Whether this sensitive self- moving matter be dense or rare? |
A53058 | Your third question was, Why a man, being bitten by a mad Dog, is onely distempered in his mind, and not in his body? |
A53058 | and do you think, Madam, that any thing can move it self without life, sense and reason? |
A53058 | and how can the Image of God concern but one Part of the Soul, and not the other? |
A53058 | and is not death a punishment for our sin? |
A53058 | and might not God endue this Matter with Sense and Reason, as well as he endued Man? |
A53058 | and 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? |
A53058 | and thirdly how Something can become Nothing? |
A53058 | and what difference is there not between the natural moisture of an Animal, and the natural moisture of Water? |
A53058 | and whether they be little or great? |
A53058 | by what language or speech can they communicate their Counsels one to another? |
A53058 | for what Man knows, how and when God created Nature? |
A53058 | not onely in their shapes, but also in their natures, tempers and dispositions? |
A53058 | or Bees of the several sorts of juices of Flowers, then Men? |
A53058 | or as they have several offices, so have they several parts of the design? |
A53058 | or have a better communication betwixt them, then Bees that fly several ways, meeting and joyning to make their Combes in their Hives? |
A53058 | or whether Birds do not know more of the nature and degrees of Air, or the cause of Tempests? |
A53058 | or whether Worms do not know more of the nature of Earth, and how Plants are produced? |
A53058 | or whether it be transferred out of my hand into the ball? |
A53058 | or whether the destroying of the enemies Army be not more advantageous, then the loss of some few friends? |
A53058 | surely 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? |
A53058 | that which is named an Elemental fire, or any other sort of fire? |
A53058 | what is Reason, but rational motion? |
A53058 | which humor certainly is not made in the lips of the wound, but in the body: Also whence comes the humor that makes the Gout? |
A48892 | 115. what makes him contend for one single Article with the exclusion of all the rest? |
A48892 | A very demonstrative Reason, is it not, that therefore they can not be different Expressions of the same thing? |
A48892 | And I ask him, whether it be his Errand, as one of our Saviour''s Ambassadors to turn it thus into Ridicule? |
A48892 | And are they ready to cry out to your content, Great is Diana of the Ephesians? |
A48892 | And having made this Declaration of himself to be the Messiah, he asks Martha, Believest thou this? |
A48892 | And here I ask you, whether for this omission, you will pronounce that the Church of ▪ England disguises the Faith of the Gospel? |
A48892 | And 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? |
A48892 | And is not the Reader, quoth he, satisfied that such Language as this hath real truth in it? |
A48892 | And is this the Faith of Devils? |
A48892 | And is thus a sincere and rightly directed study of the Scriptures, that Men may understand and profit thereby, incouraged? |
A48892 | And must the Reader understand your passing them by to be a publishing to the World your contempt of them? |
A48892 | And they said, what need we any further witness? |
A48892 | And thus far who can but allow his Wisdom? |
A48892 | And to conclude, I ask him, whether all those that he has set down are not Fundamental necessary Articles? |
A48892 | And to those who yet doubted that he was so, and made this Objection; What need was there of a Saviour? |
A48892 | And what I beseech him are the other? |
A48892 | And what is that Faith according to the Unmasker? |
A48892 | And what may we reasonably think they designed to make known to the People by it? |
A48892 | And what then shall we be the better for all this stir, and noise of Fundamentals? |
A48892 | And where now is there any thing like a Contradiction in this? |
A48892 | And who can blame him for it? |
A48892 | And who can deny, but he has chose a fit Imployment for himself? |
A48892 | And, How it appears, that this is the design of my whole Undertaking? |
A48892 | Answer, What need any Answer to disprove where there is no Proof brought that reaches the Proposition in Question? |
A48892 | Are not all the Doctrines necessary for our time contain''d in his System? |
A48892 | Are not two Sparrows sold for a farthing; And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father? |
A48892 | Are they there not to be believed? |
A48892 | At least why do you not quote those many Pages wherein I do it? |
A48892 | But Good Sir, why is it a foolish Question in me? |
A48892 | But besides the strength of Iudgment, which you have shew''d in this clear& cogent reasoning, does not your Memory too deserve its due applause? |
A48892 | But did our Unmasker never hear of Unbelievers under a denomination distinct from that of Atheists, Turks, Iews, and Pagans? |
A48892 | But for all that, Sir, may not a Man''s Question be serious, though he should chance to express it ill? |
A48892 | But 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? |
A48892 | But 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? |
A48892 | But is the understanding and believing this single Proposition, the understanding and believing all the Articles of Faith necessary to be believed? |
A48892 | But this Creed of the Unmasker, which he talks of, where is it? |
A48892 | But what does this make for His Fundamental Articles? |
A48892 | But what is that to the purpose? |
A48892 | But what is too hard for such an Unmasker? |
A48892 | But who sees not that this is a mere Elusion? |
A48892 | But 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? |
A48892 | Can all the Doctrines necessary for our time, be propos''d in the express words of the Scripture? |
A48892 | Can the Devils thus believe him to be the Messiah? |
A48892 | Can there be any thing more ridiculous, than this? |
A48892 | Do those solemn Assemblies privilege it from containing the necessary Articles of the Christian Religion? |
A48892 | Does he cease to be a Christian, who happens not to understand them just as the Creed- maker does? |
A48892 | Does not he perceive, that the discarding all the Articles but ONE makes way for the casting off that too? |
A48892 | Does not the Unmasker give here a clear Proof, that he is no Changeling? |
A48892 | Doth not this plainly shew that this is all that is requir''d to be believed as necessary to make a Man a Christian? |
A48892 | For I ask with him, p. 8. where can we be informed but in the sacred and inspired writings? |
A48892 | For I demand those some Articles which you speak of, which are they? |
A48892 | For 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? |
A48892 | For 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? |
A48892 | For if you do, why dare you not say so, and give it us all entire in plain Propositions? |
A48892 | For what is it to the Shallowness or Depth of the Animadversions, who writ them? |
A48892 | For what need they be at the pains of constantly reading the Bible? |
A48892 | For whoever, but he, thought that a bare Exclusion, or passing by, was Defiance? |
A48892 | For, 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? |
A48892 | Have any of the Rulers believed in him? |
A48892 | He saith unto them, But WHOM say ye that I am? |
A48892 | His first Question here to his Disciples, v. 13. is, Whom do men say that I the Son of Man am? |
A48892 | His next Words, p. 104. are very remarkable: They are O how he[ the Vindicator] grins at the Spirit of Creed making? |
A48892 | His words are, Do we not know that the four Gospels were writ to and for Believers, as well as Unbelievers? |
A48892 | How comes then the Unmasker to distinguish these Dictates of the Holy Spirit into necessary and not necessary Truths? |
A48892 | How does that appear? |
A48892 | How should I know it? |
A48892 | I ask him, whether those be all? |
A48892 | I ask where does he use that reasoning? |
A48892 | I ask whether it be possible for one to bring any thing more direct against himself? |
A48892 | I ask whether that be perfect? |
A48892 | I ask, were these other matters of Faith all the Unmasker''s necessary Articles? |
A48892 | I have misrepresented his meaning; Let it be so: Where is the Irreligion of it? |
A48892 | I have represented all the rest as useless to the making a Man a Christian? |
A48892 | I hear you say it again, but want a Proof still, and ask where I assign that Ground? |
A48892 | I remember the Pharisees treated the Common People with Contempt, and said, Have any of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? |
A48892 | If he answers, NO; I ask him which of our Saviour''s Commands is it not in Christianity absolutely necessary to obey? |
A48892 | If he means an explicit Knowledge and Belief, why does he puzzle his Reader by so improper a way of speaking? |
A48892 | If not, what are those other matters of Faith to the Unmasker''s Purpose? |
A48892 | If not, why do you with so much outcry reprehend me, for not knowing them? |
A48892 | If 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? |
A48892 | If they did not, how can their Histories be called the Gospels of Iesus Christ? |
A48892 | If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his houshold? |
A48892 | In Answer to the Creed- maker''s Question, about his other Fundamentals found in the Epistles; Why did the Apostles Write these Doctrines? |
A48892 | In answer to that, I demanded of him who was to explain them? |
A48892 | In the next place, I ask, whether any one is a Christian who hath not the Faith of a Christian? |
A48892 | In the next place, pray tell me, why would it be folly in you to comply with what I require of you? |
A48892 | Is it a Form to be used for Form''s sake? |
A48892 | Is it folly then for me to ask from you a compleat Creed? |
A48892 | Is 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? |
A48892 | Is it not requisite that we should know it and believe? |
A48892 | Is 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? |
A48892 | Is not this a worthy Imployment, and becoming a Preacher of the Gospel, to be a Sollicitor for Stationers- Hall? |
A48892 | Is not this to be an errant Conjurer? |
A48892 | Is that enough? |
A48892 | Is there any Contradiction in holding of this? |
A48892 | Is this all the explicit Faith a Christian need have? |
A48892 | Is this set down to no purpose in these inspired Epistles? |
A48892 | Let him therefore either confess these and the like Questions, Why did the Apostles write these? |
A48892 | Let it be so, what do you infer from thence? |
A48892 | Make the worst of it that can be, how comes it to be Irreligious? |
A48892 | My passing them by then, are Passages published against the Epistles? |
A48892 | Nay, does he think fit, that any such should live free from the Lash of the Magistrate, or from the Persecution of the Ecclesiastical Power? |
A48892 | Nay, the far greatest part of them the History, they writ, does not any where so much as once mention? |
A48892 | Now I ask, can any one more directly invalidate all he says here for the necessity of believing his Articles? |
A48892 | Of what, I beseech you, is it an Abstract? |
A48892 | Or 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? |
A48892 | Or how can they serve to the end for which they were written? |
A48892 | Or is consonant with his own Rule, p. 3. of putting candid Constructions on what Adversaries say? |
A48892 | Or rather to the Authority of Christ and his Apostles residing in him? |
A48892 | Or why is it folly in you to grant so reasonable a Demand? |
A48892 | Or 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? |
A48892 | Or without proposing, and requiring a Profession of all, that is necessary to be believed to make a Man a Christian? |
A48892 | Risum teneatis? |
A48892 | So that the Passages I have published, containing a contempt of the Epistles, are extant in my saying nothing of them? |
A48892 | That I cry down all Articles of Christian Faith but one? |
A48892 | That I labour industriously to keep People in Ignorance; Or tell them, That there is no necessity of knowing any other Doctrines of the Bible? |
A48892 | That I make it my Business to beat Men off from taking notice of any Divine Truths? |
A48892 | That I speak as meanly of Christ''s Suffering on the Cross, and Death, as if there were no such thing? |
A48892 | That I will not suffer Mankind to look into Christianity? |
A48892 | That Iesus is the Messiah or Christ, is so often repeated in the New Testament? |
A48892 | That there must be nothing in Christianity that is not ▪ plain and exactly level to all mens Mother Wit? |
A48892 | That those two are but different Expressions of the same thing? |
A48892 | The 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? |
A48892 | The Question is not, of what Original do you think the Messiah when he comes will be? |
A48892 | Then said they all, art thou then the Son of God? |
A48892 | Thirdly, I ask, whether he has the Faith of a Christian, who does not explicitly believe all the Fundamental Articles of Christianity? |
A48892 | Those that are out of the Creed, or those that are in it? |
A48892 | To what? |
A48892 | Was it not that those they writ to might give their assent to them? |
A48892 | Was it not, that those they Writ to, might give their Assent to them? |
A48892 | We 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? |
A48892 | Were They all propos''d with the Articles of Iesus the Messiah? |
A48892 | What does the Vnmasker mean by a General way? |
A48892 | What just these? |
A48892 | What must become of all the rest, which you have omitted? |
A48892 | What need we have any other part of the New Testament? |
A48892 | What now did our Saviour and his Apostles do? |
A48892 | What shall we say to such an oblivious Author? |
A48892 | What they are? |
A48892 | What think you of the Messiah, whose Son is he? |
A48892 | What were they to say? |
A48892 | What, I beseech you, is your good reason too here, upon which you inferr Therefore,& c? |
A48892 | What? |
A48892 | When you have answer''d this Question, we shall then see which of us two is nearest the right? |
A48892 | Where could there be found a better Speech- maker for the Atheistical Rabble? |
A48892 | Where it is that I command my Reader not to stir a jot farther than the Acts? |
A48892 | Where it is that I deride Mysteries? |
A48892 | Where it is that I say that it can not be suppos''d that there are Fundamental Articles in the Epistles? |
A48892 | Where 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? |
A48892 | Whether I do not all along plainly, and in express words, speak of the Priests of the World, preceding, and in our Saviour''s time? |
A48892 | Whether a Man can believe particular Propositions, and not actually believe them? |
A48892 | Whether all I have said of them be not true? |
A48892 | Whether he knows, that the Doctrine proposed in the Reasonableness of Christianity,& c. was borrowed, as he says, from Hobbs''s Leviathan? |
A48892 | Whether, in truth, this be not to accuse them with a Design to draw the Envy of it on me? |
A48892 | Which in effect, what is it but to incourage ignorance, laziness, and neglect of the Scriptures? |
A48892 | Which those Fundamental Articles are, which were obscurely publish''d, but not fully discovered, in our Saviour''s time? |
A48892 | Which was, to publish to the World the Doctrine of Iesus Christ, that Men might be brought into his Religion? |
A48892 | Whilst the Pulpit and the Press have so often had up the Name of Theists or Deists, has that Name wholly scaped him? |
A48892 | Who can entertain such a thought? |
A48892 | Who gave him this Power over the Oracles of God; to set up one, and debase another at his pleasure? |
A48892 | Who made him a Chuser, where no body can pick and chuse? |
A48892 | Who made him a Judge or Divider between them? |
A48892 | Who, but an arrant Unmasker, would contradict himself so flatly in the same breath? |
A48892 | Why did the Apostles write these Doctrines, was it not, that those they writ to, might give their assent to them? |
A48892 | Why did the Apostles write these Doctrines? |
A48892 | Why is this sometimes urged without the mentioning of any other Article of Belief? |
A48892 | Why should not every one of these Evangelical Truths be believed and imbraced? |
A48892 | Why then did he not make a Separation between the Doctrines in the Epistles, and those other Matters that are treated of there? |
A48892 | Why then does every one urge and make a stir about Fundamentals, and no body give a List of them? |
A48892 | Why then must there be one Article, and no more? |
A48892 | Why, I beseech you, is mine a foolish Question to ask, What are the necessary Articles of Faith? |
A48892 | Why, 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? |
A48892 | Why? |
A48892 | Would 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? |
A48892 | Would 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? |
A48892 | Would not this be to deny our Saviour''s Veracity, and consequently his being the Messiah sent from God? |
A48892 | Would you have me so foolish to take a List of Fundamentals from you, who have not yet one for your self? |
A48892 | Yes, verily: And if so, What was it that made them Christians, before their Assent to these Doctrines was required? |
A48892 | You grant there are Articles necessary to be believed for Salvation: would it not then be Wisdom to know them? |
A48892 | You have said it more than once already; I demand of you to shew me where? |
A48892 | You say it, and had said it before: But I ask you, as I did before, where I did so? |
A48892 | Your Questions were, why this Article is so often proposed? |
A48892 | and make the Gain of the Gentlemen of Paul''s Church- yard a Consideration, for or against any Book writ concerning Religion? |
A48892 | nay, did they not require assent to them? |
A48892 | nay, is it not our Duty to know and believe them? |
A48892 | neither more nor less? |
A48892 | nor are yet resolved with your self, what Doctrines are to be put in, or left out of it? |
A48892 | of the Acts, What shall I do to be saved? |
A48892 | of what I beseech you? |
A48892 | or ought to have such an Interpretation put upon it? |
A48892 | or the like? |
A48892 | to perswade Men to believe, that Iesu ● was the Messiah? |
A48892 | was it not that those they writ to, might give their assent to them? |
A48892 | was it not that those they writ to, might give their assent to them? |
A48892 | who, I think, are not perfectly agreed with you, or one another in Fundamentals? |
A48892 | would you answer him, that it was folly in you to comply with him, in what he desired? |
A53049 | After all this, the Emperess desired the Worm- men to give her a true Relation how frost was made upon the Earth? |
A53049 | After this my later Thoughts asked, how it came that the Inanimate part of Matter had more degrees then the Animate? |
A53049 | After this, The Emperess asked them, What kind of substance or creature the Air was? |
A53049 | After 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? |
A53049 | Again, the Emperess asked them, whether there were any Non- beings within the Earth? |
A53049 | Again, the Emperess asked, whether the first Man gave names to all the several sorts of Fishes in the Sea, and fresh waters? |
A53049 | Again, the Empress enquired, Whether they had several Forms of Worship? |
A53049 | Again, they may ask, Whether an Idea have a colour? |
A53049 | Again: Some may ask, Whether those intermixed parts continue always together in their particulars? |
A53049 | Again: if a Painter should paint Birds according to those Colours the Microscope presents, what advantage would it be for Fowlers to take them? |
A53049 | And if this be true of Matter, why may not the same be said of self- motion, which is Sense and Reason? |
A53049 | And 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? |
A53049 | And yet who dares deny that they all consist of Matter, or are material? |
A53049 | Animate, and Inanimate; and no more degrees of Animate, but Rational, and Sensitive? |
A53049 | As for example; how well was the World governed, and how did it flourish in Augustus''s time? |
A53049 | But 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? |
A53049 | But I would fain know what he means by the action of the first Mover, whether he be actually moving the world, or not? |
A53049 | But after some short stay in the Court, the Duchess''s soul grew very Melancholy; the Emperess asking the cause of her sadness? |
A53049 | But how came it then, replied she, that the Serpent was cursed? |
A53049 | But 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? |
A53049 | But how, said the Emperess, can the Fish- men do me service against an Enemy, without Canons and all sorts of Arms? |
A53049 | But 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? |
A53049 | But is none of these Worlds so weak, said she, that it may be surprised or conquered? |
A53049 | But 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? |
A53049 | But perchance some will say, How can there be several sorts of points, since a point is but a point? |
A53049 | But said she again, Is it a sin then not to know or understand the Cabbala? |
A53049 | But 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? |
A53049 | But some may say, It is impossible that a body can make it self bigger or less then by Nature it is? |
A53049 | But some might ask, What makes or causes this imitation in several sorts of Cretures? |
A53049 | But the Emperess seeing they could not agree concerning the cause of Wind, asked, whether they could tell how Snow was made? |
A53049 | But then my later Thoughts asked, that when a particular Motion ceased, what became of it? |
A53049 | But then perhaps they will ask me, what colour the Mind is of? |
A53049 | But what Creature in the Universe is able to describe the Thoughts or Notions of God? |
A53049 | But what do you think, said the Emperess, of Good Spirits? |
A53049 | But you''l say, How can Infinite be a principle of particular Finites? |
A53049 | But, asked the Empress, Have they no Congregation of their own, to perform the duties of Divine Worship, as well as Men? |
A53049 | But, proceeded the Emperess, How are you sure that God can not be known? |
A53049 | But, said my later Thoughts, if a body be divided into very minute parts as little as dust, where is the colour then? |
A53049 | But, said the Emperess, who gave the names to the several sorts of Fish? |
A53049 | Fifthly, I would fain know, when those Atomes are issued from the object, and entered into the eye, what doth at last become of them? |
A53049 | First she enquired of the Fish- men whence the saltness of the Sea did proceed? |
A53049 | First they asked, how it was possible, that that part of Matter which had no innate self- motion, could be moved? |
A53049 | First, It may be asked, Whether the Parts of a Composed figure do continue in such a Composition until the whole figure be dissolved? |
A53049 | First, she enquired of the Worm- men, whether they had perceived some within the Earth? |
A53049 | Having thus finished their discourse of the Sun and Moon, the Emperess desired to know what Stars there were besides? |
A53049 | Hereupon the Emperess commanded the Fly- men to ask some of the Spirits, whether they would be pleased to give her a visit? |
A53049 | How can there be Self- knowledg and Perception in one and the same part? |
A53049 | How comes it then, replied she, that Men, even those that are of several opinions, have Faith more or less? |
A53049 | How do we perceive Light, Fire, Air,& c? |
A53049 | How is it possible, that Parts being ignorant of each other, should agree in the production of a figure? |
A53049 | How is it possible, that several figures can be patterned out by one act of Perception? |
A53049 | How so fine, subtil and pure a part as the Animate Matter is, can work upon so gross a part as the Inanimate? |
A53049 | How the bare patterning out of the Exterior figure of an object, can give us an information of its Interior nature? |
A53049 | I am satisfied, replied the Emperess, and asked further, whether there were any figures or characters in the Soul? |
A53049 | If they affirm it, I am of their mind; if not, then I would ask, what causes in dead bodies that dissolution which we see? |
A53049 | If this be so, replied the Emperess, How comes it then that you can move so suddenly at a vast distance? |
A53049 | If this be so, replied the Emperess, then I pray inform me, whether all matter be soulified? |
A53049 | If this be so, replied the Emperess, then certainly there can be no world of lives and forms without matter? |
A53049 | If you do not understand them, replied the Emperess, hovv shall humane Creatures do then? |
A53049 | Is it an Immaterial Spirit, or some corporeal being? |
A53049 | Lastly, she asked, why they arched their roofs, and made so many Pillars? |
A53049 | Lastly, 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? |
A53049 | Lastly, the Emperess asked the Bird- men of the nature of Thunder and Lightning? |
A53049 | My 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? |
A53049 | Next, I would ask whether any dead Creature have such Animal Spirits? |
A53049 | Next, as for the Question, Whether forms be more noble then the matter? |
A53049 | Next, 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? |
A53049 | Next, she asked, Why they preferred the Monarchical form of Government before any other? |
A53049 | Of Snails and Leeches, and whether all Animals haue Blood? |
A53049 | Of the Celestial Parts of this World; and whether they be alterable? |
A53049 | Of the Celestial parts of this World, and whether they be alterable? |
A53049 | Of the Image of the Soul, that is, her vital operation on the body? |
A53049 | Of the States- men she enquired, first, Why they had so few Laws? |
A53049 | Or if Microscopes do truly represent the exterior parts and superficies of some minute Creatures, what advantages it our knowledg? |
A53049 | Rational, and Sensitive? |
A53049 | SOme do question, Whether those Parts that are separated from animal Bodies do retain life? |
A53049 | Secondly, It may be questioned, Whether there can be an infinite distance between two or more parts? |
A53049 | She asked again, Whether Spirits were not like Water or Fire? |
A53049 | She asked again, Whether all those Creatures that were in Paradise, were also in Noah''s Ark? |
A53049 | She asked again, what they said to the number of Seven? |
A53049 | She asked again, whether souls did chuse bodies? |
A53049 | She asked further, Whether Gold could not be made by Art? |
A53049 | She asked further, whether Matter was immovable init self? |
A53049 | She asked further, whether humane bodies were not burthensome to humane souls? |
A53049 | She asked further, whether the Spirits had not ascending and descending motions, as well as other Creatures? |
A53049 | She asked further, whether the fiery Vehicles were a Heaven, or a Hell, or at least a Purgatory to the Souls? |
A53049 | She asked further, which of these two Cabbala''s was most approved, the Natural, or Theological? |
A53049 | She asked them further, Whether Spirits vvere of a globous or round Figure? |
A53049 | She enquired further, Whether there was any Cabbala in god, or whether God was full of Ideas? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked further, whether animal life came out of the spiritual World, and did return thither again? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked further, whether in the beginning and Creation of the World, all Beasts could speak? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked further, whether there was any Plastick power in Nature? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked in what manner that could be? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked the Fly- men, whether it was possible that she could be acquainted, and have some conferences with them? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked them further, whether there was not a World of Spirits, as well as there is of material Creatures? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked, Whence this disobedient sin did proceed? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked, Whether they were real? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked, how far numbers did multiply? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked, what the height of her ambition was? |
A53049 | The Emperess asked, whether it was not possible that there could be two souls in one body? |
A53049 | The Emperess was very well satisfied with this answer, and asked further, whether souls did not give life to bodies? |
A53049 | The Emperor ask''d, Are those good Playes that are made so Methodically and Artificially? |
A53049 | The Emperor ask''d, Whether the Property of Playes were not to describe the several humours, actions and fortunes of Mankind? |
A53049 | The Empress asked them, Whether they were Jews, Turks, or Christians? |
A53049 | The Messenger asked at what time they should expect her coming? |
A53049 | The first difference did arise about the question, How it came, that Matter was of several degrees, as Animate and Inanimate, Sensitive and Rational? |
A53049 | The later said, How can motion be corporeal, and yet one thing with body? |
A53049 | The second Question is, Whether Winds have the power to change the Exterior temper of the Air? |
A53049 | Then I pray inform me, said the Emperess, Whether the Jews, or any other Cabbala, consist in numbers? |
A53049 | Then my later Thoughts desired to know, whether Motion could be annihilated? |
A53049 | Then my later Thoughts desired to know, whether there were not degrees of Motion, as well as there are of Matter? |
A53049 | Then she asked the Flye- men, whether they had observed any in the Air? |
A53049 | Then she asked them, Whether Art could produce Iron, Tin, Lead, or Silver? |
A53049 | Then she asked them, Whether Divine Faith was made out of Reason? |
A53049 | Then she asked them, whether Spirits could be naked? |
A53049 | Then she asked, Whether pure natural Philosophers were Cabbalists? |
A53049 | Then she asked, Whether the first Man did give names to all the various sorts of Creatures that live on the Earth? |
A53049 | Then she asked, whether the different shapes and sorts of Vehicles, made the Souls and other Immaterial Spirits, miserable, or blessed? |
A53049 | Then she asked, whether those seeds of Vegetables lost their species; that is, were annihilated in the production of their off- spring? |
A53049 | Then she desired to be informed when Spirits were made? |
A53049 | Then she desired to be informed, what opinion they had of the beginning of forms? |
A53049 | Then she desired to be informed, whither Adam fled when he was driven out of the Paradise? |
A53049 | Then she desired to know, whether Evil Spirits were reckoned amongst the Beasts of the Field? |
A53049 | Then she desired to know, whether their Vehicles were made of Air? |
A53049 | Then she enquired, Whether there were no more kinds of Creatures now, then at the first Creation? |
A53049 | Then she inquired, whether there was no mystery in numbers? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess asked them, vvhether there vvere any Atheists in the World? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess asked them, where Heaven and Hell was? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess asked them, whether all Matter was fluid at first? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess asked, Whether they could speak to them, and whether they did understand each other? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess asked, Whether they were living Creatures? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess asked, whether it was not possible, that her dearest friend the Duchess of Newcastle, might be Emperess of one of them? |
A53049 | Then 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? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess desired to be informed, whether all souls were made at the first Creation of the World? |
A53049 | Then the Emperess enquired of them the reason, Why Springs were not as salt as the Sea is? |
A53049 | Then the Empress desir''d to know the reason why the Priests and Governors of their World were made Eunuchs? |
A53049 | Then what are You, having no Chaos found To make a World, or any such least ground? |
A53049 | Then, I pray inform me, said the Emperess, what disguise those seeds put on, and how they do conceal themselves in their transmutations? |
A53049 | They answered, That Perswasions were actions; but the Emperess not being contented with this answer, asked whether there was not a supernatural Evil? |
A53049 | Thirdly, I would ask, whether those animal spirits be annihilated and generated anew? |
A53049 | Well then, replied the Emperess, leaving this inquisitive knowledg of God, I pray inform me, whether you Spirits give motion to natural bodies? |
A53049 | What difference is there between Self- knowledg, and Perception? |
A53049 | What kind of Cabbala asked the Spirits? |
A53049 | What need is there of imparting Motion, when Nature can do it a much easier way? |
A53049 | What produces those great Precipices and Mountains of Ice which are found in the Sea, and other great waters? |
A53049 | What, said the Emperess, are not Worms produced out of the Earth? |
A53049 | What, said the Emperess, can any Mortal be a Creator? |
A53049 | Whether Animal Parts separated from their Bodies, have life? |
A53049 | Whether Artificial Effects may be called Natural; and in what sense? |
A53049 | Whether Cold doth preserve Bodies from Corruption? |
A53049 | Whether Fishes can live in frozen Water? |
A53049 | Whether Nature be self- moving? |
A53049 | Whether Perception be made by Patterning? |
A53049 | Whether Water be fluid in its nature, or but occasionally by the agitation of the air? |
A53049 | Whether Wood be apt to freeze? |
A53049 | Whether an Idea haue a Colour, and of the Idea of of a Spirit? |
A53049 | Whether in decoctions of Herbs, when congealed or frozen into Ice, the figures of the Herbs do appear in the Ice? |
A53049 | Whether it be possible to make man, and some other Animal Creatures, flye as Birds do? |
A53049 | Whether particular Parts or Figures be bound to particular perceptions? |
A53049 | Whether the Inanimate Matter could have parts without self- motion? |
A53049 | Whether the Inanimate Part of Matter, may not have self- knowledg as well as the Animate? |
A53049 | Whether the Optick Perception is made in the Eye, or Brain, or in both? |
A53049 | Whether the rational Parts can quit some Parts and join to others? |
A53049 | Whether there be single Self- knowledges, and single Perceptions in Nature? |
A53049 | Whether there could be Self- knowledg without Perception? |
A53049 | Whether there may be a Remembrance in Sense, as well as there is in Reason? |
A53049 | Which if so, I would enquire whence those effects do proceed? |
A53049 | Why Fire in some cold Regions will hardly kindle, or at least not burn freely? |
A53049 | Why those Winds that come from cold Regions, are most commonly cold, and those that come from hot Regions are for the most part hot? |
A53049 | Why those particular knowledges and perceptions are not all alike, as being all but effects of one cause? |
A53049 | Why, said the Emperess, are they enemies? |
A53049 | Why, said the Emperess, do not your Poets actions comply with their judgments? |
A53049 | also, 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? |
A53049 | also, why Springs did ebb and flow? |
A53049 | and if it was perceptive, how it came that Children did not understand so soon as born? |
A53049 | and if so, whether the Idea of God be coloured? |
A53049 | and what are Philosophical Terms, but to express the Conceptions of ones mind in that Science? |
A53049 | and whether it was by Nature, or a special Divine blessing? |
A53049 | and whether it was not caused by roves of Ice falling upon each other? |
A53049 | and whether they were of a dark, or a light colour? |
A53049 | as for example, whether the same rational parts keep constantly to the same sensitive and inanimate parts, as they are commixed? |
A53049 | between flowing Water, and ascending Fire? |
A53049 | but if he did, what advantage would it be to the Beggar? |
A53049 | especially so few? |
A53049 | how many proud and stately Buildings and Palaces could ancient Rome shew to the world, when she was in her flower? |
A53049 | if not, I ask, What is that which moves it? |
A53049 | may not they be compared to the Fowls of the Air? |
A53049 | said 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? |
A39319 | A Definition, say you or they( for I think you are all alike) is that — is that? |
A39319 | A point, say you, is a body: and why? |
A39319 | Afraid? |
A39319 | After what manner, I prithee, Tim? |
A39319 | Algebra? |
A39319 | All this is very natural and Coherent, the passage being smooth and easie: but how shall we get from Hanging to Bristol? |
A39319 | And I pray, Philautus, what do you think might be the reason of it? |
A39319 | And I prethee, Tim, how differs this from what I said before? |
A39319 | And I prethee, Tim, may not I know what those two things be, which thou dost prophesie will never be explain''d? |
A39319 | And did not the Doctor, Tim, first nibble at my Writings and my Latin? |
A39319 | And do you really think, Tim, that Algebra is good for any thing? |
A39319 | And how can I help it, if Kings wo n''t live and act like men? |
A39319 | And is not this very true, and useful besides? |
A39319 | And 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? |
A39319 | And then, I pray, what became of my absurd and rural detractors? |
A39319 | And 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? |
A39319 | And 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? |
A39319 | And 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? |
A39319 | And therefore why may not I be believed as well as other people, and why should I be said to wrest,& c.? |
A39319 | And therefore, why should we play the Children any longer, and talk of willing, and choosing, and I know not what, and mean nothing thereby? |
A39319 | And what of all this? |
A39319 | And what then? |
A39319 | And why? |
A39319 | And why? |
A39319 | And wo n''t you put in none of your own wild, non- sensical Jim- cracks, to interrupt the drift, and contexture of my reasons? |
A39319 | Are they not Divines? |
A39319 | Art thou, Reader, a single man? |
A39319 | Best reasons? |
A39319 | But I pray, Philautus, after what manner did you confess to the Bishop? |
A39319 | But 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? |
A39319 | But I pray, Sir, how came Cucumbers and Mustard into such an intimacy with As in praesenti? |
A39319 | But I pray, Sir, how comes he by that mind? |
A39319 | But I pray, Sir, how far is that same will that he has, in his own power? |
A39319 | But have you not, Philautus, several Seats and Pews to place these Authors in? |
A39319 | But hold Tim; who ▪ shall help us to the phantasm of Jeopardy? |
A39319 | But how are you sure, Philautus, that the Prophet allow''d him any at all? |
A39319 | But 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? |
A39319 | But how could I help it? |
A39319 | But how do you know, Tim, that I''ll say or do any of these things? |
A39319 | But how do you know, that by fancy I must needs mean the fancy of a Poet; and not that of a Geometrician? |
A39319 | But how, Sir, came the Cucumbers to out- run the Mustard; for they are otherwise placed in the Grammar? |
A39319 | But may there not be many other sufficient causes besides hope, fe ● … r, and such like passions, that may possibly move and determine the will? |
A39319 | But what if he stays at home only to suck his middle finger? |
A39319 | But what say you to Gods commanding Abraham to kill his own Son? |
A39319 | But what''s all this for? |
A39319 | But when do I speak, Tim? |
A39319 | But where''s Poetry all this while? |
A39319 | But why do I call it a Book: what am I mad? |
A39319 | But, now I think on''t, why am I so mad as to trouble my self about this? |
A39319 | By whom: by Sow- Gelders or Rat- Catchers? |
A39319 | Canonical? |
A39319 | Care about it, Sir? |
A39319 | Chidden? |
A39319 | Confute? |
A39319 | Conscience? |
A39319 | Did you ever know me to wrest, or force any thing to comply,& c.? |
A39319 | Do n''t you see''t, Tim? |
A39319 | Do n''t you see, Sir? |
A39319 | Do you know what you have said? |
A39319 | Do you mind it, Sir? |
A39319 | Do you see Philautus? |
A39319 | Do you see, Tim, how horribly you are mistaken? |
A39319 | Do you so? |
A39319 | Do you think Gentlemen that stand so much upon their honour and reputation, wo n''t demand better satisfaction than this? |
A39319 | Does he then think there is any man not private besides him that is endued with Soveraign Power? |
A39319 | Does the Bishop think that he himself is, or that there is any Universal man? |
A39319 | Dost thou want Galen, Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Helmont,& c? |
A39319 | Dost thou want a Book to measure the height of Stars, survey Ground, make a Dial,& c? |
A39319 | Dost thou want a true, ● … ound, substantial, Orthodox Body of Divinity? |
A39319 | Figura, says Euclid, est quae sub aliquibus,& c. How lubberly and Porter- like was that said? |
A39319 | For in stealing, do n''t you put forth your hand, and take somewhat against Law? |
A39319 | For suppose you go to your Cage, and ask your Pye, how do you do this Morning? |
A39319 | For to what end is it to do over again that which is already done? |
A39319 | For what I prethee? |
A39319 | From my self; how so? |
A39319 | Geometry well? |
A39319 | HOW, Tim, not hang''d your self yet? |
A39319 | Hast thou a Wife and Children, and are they dear to thee? |
A39319 | Hast thou a mind to a compleat body of the Law, Civil Law, Canon Law, Common Law,& c? |
A39319 | How can I be any such thing? |
A39319 | How can they possibly be? |
A39319 | How can you tell what I design''d? |
A39319 | How could I help it, Tim? |
A39319 | How do you know, Tim, but that Kings may have done so? |
A39319 | How do you mean, Tim? |
A39319 | How dost mean? |
A39319 | How is it I pray, Sir? |
A39319 | How is that? |
A39319 | How much freedom then wouldst thou have? |
A39319 | How much would you have me suffer: what, dye? |
A39319 | How quick and nimble Philautus is? |
A39319 | How shall we train in these, Sir? |
A39319 | How so prethee? |
A39319 | How so, I prethee? |
A39319 | How so? |
A39319 | How so? |
A39319 | How so? |
A39319 | How( according to you) is he bound? |
A39319 | I bafl''d, I confuted? |
A39319 | I 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? |
A39319 | I doubt that is a kind of a cross road, Tim; is it not? |
A39319 | I hope you do n''t call this confuting,& c.? |
A39319 | I ought? |
A39319 | I pray of what profession are they that have been your great adversaries in this point? |
A39319 | I pray, Sir, what do you mean by the word hanging? |
A39319 | I 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? |
A39319 | I prethee why not Ginger and Justice, or Ginger and Jeremiah, as well as Ginger and Jeopardy? |
A39319 | I prethee, has not the man a name: and ca n''t you call him by that? |
A39319 | I revoke in print? |
A39319 | I steal from songs: I that have a thousand things that never were in any Book whatever? |
A39319 | Implies a contradiction? |
A39319 | In more than all things? |
A39319 | Lastly, says he,''t is an art of measuring well: but how does that art measure, and by what? |
A39319 | May not Tom Thumb, or Tom of Odcomb be made considerable after this manner? |
A39319 | Must Gods hardening of Pharaohs heart come of thus also? |
A39319 | Must he needs have gone for''t: could not you have dropt down a little soder, and relief upon such an unfortunate extravagancy? |
A39319 | No? |
A39319 | Nor yet? |
A39319 | Now what do you make of all this? |
A39319 | Now, Sir, is not this very thundering and dismaying? |
A39319 | Now, 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? |
A39319 | Offend? |
A39319 | On the contrary, what is it we mean when we express our dislike and disgust? |
A39319 | Or if we ben''t yet armour- proof; what think you, Philautu ● …, of even or odd? |
A39319 | Perhaps so: but what''s the reason, Tim? |
A39319 | Phi I know that well enough: but what makes you say so? |
A39319 | Pippin? |
A39319 | Prove, Sir? |
A39319 | Quantumvis, prorsus; what both in the same sentence? |
A39319 | Quorsum enim actum agere? |
A39319 | Quorsum enim actum agere? |
A39319 | Really''t was, Tim? |
A39319 | Right; why are you not? |
A39319 | Say you so, quoth Philautus? |
A39319 | Say you so, says he? |
A39319 | Say you so: Egregiè cultam esse? |
A39319 | Say you so? |
A39319 | Secondly,''T is an Art of measuring well, says he: measuring well? |
A39319 | Shall he? |
A39319 | Should have said? |
A39319 | Sixthly, The Fairies have their enchanted Castles and certain Gigantine Ghosts, that domineer over the Regions round about them: say you so? |
A39319 | Sound? |
A39319 | Surely thou wert at cross purposes last night: what has Bristol to do with hanging? |
A39319 | Symbols? |
A39319 | That is, will I who was born within these hundred years, be willing to be born above sixteen hundred years ago? |
A39319 | Then I pray is not sin of his ordering? |
A39319 | Therefore they necessarily met together: did they? |
A39319 | Till when? |
A39319 | To Poetry? |
A39319 | To as little purpose? |
A39319 | To avoid what? |
A39319 | To do what: to stab and kill a man, and then to unstab and unkill him again? |
A39319 | To what end, I prethee, Tim, should I wet and endanger my self when I need not? |
A39319 | To what purpose? |
A39319 | Well: and what then? |
A39319 | Wh ● …, is there such a Town, any where upon the road, as Tumult? |
A39319 | What a havock''s here about a little sin? |
A39319 | What a mighty business is that? |
A39319 | What a wondring you make, Tim, at this sentence? |
A39319 | What an impertinent thing is this to look about for reason, in a case that need not at all to be reason''d? |
A39319 | What are you doing, Tim? |
A39319 | What did he do, say you? |
A39319 | What did you know, Tim? |
A39319 | What do I write against? |
A39319 | What do n''t you know? |
A39319 | What do you say? |
A39319 | What dost tell me of Logick? |
A39319 | What have I to do with what other people say? |
A39319 | What have we more besides''s still? |
A39319 | What have you there? |
A39319 | What if I do say this: is this like the teeth of time, and your sieves and scummers? |
A39319 | What is any mechanical Translator to me? |
A39319 | What is it, Tim? |
A39319 | What made you say that I had any such expectation or ambition? |
A39319 | What need we then trouble our selves about such an old Metaphysical nicety, as indivisibile and divisibile in infinitum,& c.? |
A39319 | What no end yet? |
A39319 | What of all this? |
A39319 | What shall we do now, Philautus? |
A39319 | What shall we say? |
A39319 | What should he do? |
A39319 | What then? |
A39319 | What then? |
A39319 | What then? |
A39319 | What think you then of the Israelites robbing the Aegyptians, according to Gods own direction and warrant? |
A39319 | What times should we have, if these Stingers should once but find out the difference between injury and harm? |
A39319 | What trick? |
A39319 | What wo n''t you talk a little about the Trinity,& c? |
A39319 | What would you then say, Philautus? |
A39319 | What''s that I prethee? |
A39319 | What''s that to you Goodman- two- shoes: am I bound to acquaint you with all that I can do? |
A39319 | What''s that, Tim? |
A39319 | What''s that, because he could avoid it? |
A39319 | What''s that? |
A39319 | What''s that? |
A39319 | What''s the difference between Geometria and Geometra? |
A39319 | What( and be hang''d) would you not have a Gentleman speak truth? |
A39319 | What, Tim, do you make sport and a mock of such a serious thing as sin? |
A39319 | What, Tim, dost deny by whole sale? |
A39319 | What, Tim, prate against Kings? |
A39319 | What, and hold freewill? |
A39319 | What, can he pluck God Almighty out of his Throne: and banish him out of the World? |
A39319 | What, han''t you done wondring yet, Tim? |
A39319 | What, han''t you done your sentence yet? |
A39319 | What, more mumping still? |
A39319 | What, neither back- stroak, nor fore- stroak? |
A39319 | What, neither in part nor whole? |
A39319 | What, no decrees? |
A39319 | What, shall I be thus rewarded for my great pains, and clemency? |
A39319 | What, shall we have it again? |
A39319 | What, that no body ever thought of before? |
A39319 | Whereabouts are we got now, trow wee? |
A39319 | Wherein does the iniquity of that expression lie? |
A39319 | Whether there be a God or not? |
A39319 | Who do you mean, Philautus, you nown dear self? |
A39319 | Who says that God does not govern the World? |
A39319 | Who scare people? |
A39319 | Who was ever so silly as to say otherwise? |
A39319 | Whom do you mean: the Hangman? |
A39319 | Why is it? |
A39319 | Why not? |
A39319 | Why so? |
A39319 | Why so? |
A39319 | Why so? |
A39319 | Why so? |
A39319 | Why so? |
A39319 | Why what, I pray, does the Sword of Justice towards the making the Gospel oblige? |
A39319 | Why, Tim, can any Covenant, or bargain be made between a Man and a Beast? |
A39319 | Why, Tim, must a man ask you leave to hope? |
A39319 | Why, Tim, must thou needs have a definition of it, before thou goest about it? |
A39319 | Why, 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? |
A39319 | Why, has not the word Smyrna by some means or other been formerly impuls''d upon you? |
A39319 | Why, what do I there say? |
A39319 | Why, what have I there? |
A39319 | Why, what is it I prethee? |
A39319 | With my tongue? |
A39319 | Without being unjust? |
A39319 | Wo n''t you? |
A39319 | Yes surely: what hinders? |
A39319 | Yes: and being a Science,''t is certainly a Science: but what then do you write against? |
A39319 | You ca n''t say that I writ that Preface, can you? |
A39319 | You do n''t prove it, Sir: do you? |
A39319 | a witness of Christ be sent to those, that have had sufficient witnesses already? |
A39319 | and did Naaman, I pray( when he was allow''d to go into the House of Rimmon) leave his tongue at home? |
A39319 | and did it not, as it were, nod and give consent to what his head and shoulders did? |
A39319 | and the Pye answers, how do YOU do this Morning? |
A39319 | and then, says Philautus again: what wondring is here at my speaking two or three words? |
A39319 | and whence hadst it, Tim? |
A39319 | as Geometry it self? |
A39319 | but how shall he be call''d? |
A39319 | by Sun- Beams, or Rain- bows? |
A39319 | cocks, stamps, stern, big? |
A39319 | determine whether there be a God or not? |
A39319 | did not Christ and they that followed him give Articles of Faith, and rules of an holy life? |
A39319 | did not his tongue also bow together with his head? |
A39319 | did you confess with your tongue, or how? |
A39319 | did you ever see me tried? |
A39319 | do you owe him a helping out, or do you lay in one aforehand? |
A39319 | do 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? |
A39319 | does 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? |
A39319 | does the Magistrate thrust down the Gospel into his Subjects bellies, with his Sword of Justice? |
A39319 | don''t I know that Logick is the Mother of all Lyes, and the Nurse of your damn''d, confounded Metaphysical jargons? |
A39319 | don''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? |
A39319 | don''t you think it was for fear people should not only believe his doctrine, but count themselves oblig''d to practise it? |
A39319 | dost keep a Journey- man to do that for thee? |
A39319 | dost think I can endure to be eternally tormented with nothing but Tohu''s and Bohu''s and Jargons? |
A39319 | dost 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? |
A39319 | figura est quae? |
A39319 | has 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? |
A39319 | how huffing and swaggering is this Tim, because he has got a few of those same Church- men on his side? |
A39319 | how i''st? |
A39319 | how shall any man in the World understand which of the that''s you mean? |
A39319 | how so was it? |
A39319 | if, say you, the moral Philosophers had as happily discharged their duty,& c. As what? |
A39319 | in what I prethee? |
A39319 | is Geometry then an art of measuring Geometry well? |
A39319 | is 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? |
A39319 | is speaking any thing more than a meer gesture of the tongue? |
A39319 | is t ● … is you that pretend to such exactness of Language and have so little as to come in with your particular men? |
A39319 | is there no way, Tim, to perswade thee to hang thy self? |
A39319 | may 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? |
A39319 | measuring what well? |
A39319 | must not a man have Soveraign right to do it, and strength and authority to make it take effect? |
A39319 | no prescience? |
A39319 | of what I prethee? |
A39319 | p. 29. most notoriously idle, and frivolous? |
A39319 | shall he conspire to take away my life, because I endanger''d mine own, to save his? |
A39319 | that same, or t''other same? |
A39319 | that''s the mystery, Philautus; what method, what means, what instruments are the most natural, and proper for this purpose? |
A39319 | to do what? |
A39319 | to what I prethee? |
A39319 | to whom do you mean, Philautus? |
A39319 | was it not to prevent some such great absurdity and inconvenience that might have happen''d in the World? |
A39319 | was not that, Philautus, think you the business? |
A39319 | was that, Tim, a meer affliction too? |
A39319 | well, suppose then that Martyr does signifie a witness: are you willing to be such an one for our Saviour? |
A39319 | were you, Tim, at my elbow, when I squared the circle? |
A39319 | what a Fool art thou, and all that, to talk t ● … us? |
A39319 | what a deadly black, dull, phlegmatick story is that? |
A39319 | what an impudent trick is this of Tim, to call for my best reasons? |
A39319 | what are you mad, Philautus? |
A39319 | what first- fruits? |
A39319 | what have we to do with Pippin? |
A39319 | what should I confute: all the madness of Bedlam crowded into one man? |
A39319 | what strange words you put together again: what, would you have a man to choose his own choice, and to will his own will? |
A39319 | what that? |
A39319 | what, 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? |
A39319 | what, Tim, wouldst thou have men confess with their Legs, or Shoulders? |
A39319 | what, as the Table- Cloth is explain''d upon the Table: or as butter is explain''d upon bread? |
A39319 | what, did this Cooper marry one of Pippins Daughters? |
A39319 | where''s here any antecedent for the Relative quae? |
A39319 | where''s the shackles, where''s the Pikes,& c? |
A39319 | whereabouts are we now? |
A39319 | who is so stupid as both to mistake in Geometry, and also to persist in it, when another detects his error to him? |
A39319 | why not? |
A39319 | why so; how am I oblig''d? |
A39319 | would 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? |
A41639 | 13, 14? |
A41639 | 19. where he demands, Whether the act of sin be from God? |
A41639 | 227. he saith, Who ever understood these words, if God wil, i. e. if God predetermine my wil to do this or that? |
A41639 | 23? |
A41639 | 244. grants? |
A41639 | 25. to deal subtilely with his servants, clearly implie an efficacious act of God upon their hearts, predetermining them to their act? |
A41639 | 266.? |
A41639 | 28. a sin intrinsecally evil? |
A41639 | 28. to predetermine the Crucifixion of Christ? |
A41639 | 5. in these words, Vtrum Deus agat immediate in omni actione Creaturae, Whether God acts immediately in every action of the Creature? |
A41639 | 56? |
A41639 | 6. discusseth this very Question, An Deus sit Author peccati, Whether God be the Author of sin? |
A41639 | 8. also strongly demonstrate, That al our natural motions must arise from one first immobile Motor? |
A41639 | A great concession indeed, which would our Adversaries fully come up unto, how soon and how easily might we put a period to this Controversie? |
A41639 | Again, what doth Gods permission of sin implie, but a natural or judiciary Negation of that Grace he is no way obliged to give? |
A41639 | Again, what fine- spun nonsense is this, God predetermined the Passion of Christs crucifixion, but not the Action? |
A41639 | Albeit there be a disparitie in the sins, yet is not the paritie of reason for the one and the other the same? |
A41639 | Albeit they are in regard of their Order Dominicans, yet are they not al in regard of their Doctrine Thomists? |
A41639 | And are not al the Dominicans sworne Thomists? |
A41639 | And are not the reasons as valid on the later as on the former side? |
A41639 | And by whom is this Doctrine taught? |
A41639 | And did not the poison of their sin lie in this maligne bloudy agreement? |
A41639 | And do or need we assert more than this? |
A41639 | And doth he not cease to worke good out of their evil workes? |
A41639 | And doth not Predetermination to good as much destroy the wils indifference, and its power to act or not to act? |
A41639 | And doth not that which is subservient in order of causalitie move after that which is the principal Agent? |
A41639 | And doth not the Prescience of God include al these degrees of Certitude? |
A41639 | And doth not this clearly speak the act of their sin, as wel as the effect? |
A41639 | And doth not this fully overthrow his own Hypothesis and confirme ours? |
A41639 | And doth not this leave him without al shadow of Excuse? |
A41639 | And doth not this sufficiently demonstrate Gods concurse to the substrate mater of sin to be predeterminative? |
A41639 | And doth not this sufficiently demonstrate, that the substrate mater of an act intrinsecally evil is predefined and predetermined by God? |
A41639 | And here at what a miserable losse and confusion are they among themselves? |
A41639 | And how can God direct, dispose, and over- rule them, unless he concur, yea predetermine the Wil to the entitative act? |
A41639 | And how doth he prove this? |
A41639 | And how so? |
A41639 | And if God actuate or draw forth the wil to act, doth he not applie it to the act, and so predetermine the same? |
A41639 | And if God concur to the wil in the production of the act, must he not also necessarily determine the wil to that act? |
A41639 | And 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? |
A41639 | And if Gods predefining decreeing wil give futurition to the substrate mater of sin, must not his predeterminative wil also give existence to it? |
A41639 | And if Reprobation be absolute, must not also Gods concurse to the substrate mater of sin be efficacious and predeterminative? |
A41639 | And if althings are of God, and by him, and for him, must not also the entitative act of sins intrinsecally evil be so? |
A41639 | And if so, must he not then open Shimei''s heart to the mater of it? |
A41639 | And if so, then must not the substrate acts of such judicial dereliction be from God? |
A41639 | And if that were not opened to the entitative act, would the way to this evil have been ever opened? |
A41639 | And indeed how frequently is this Hypothesis demonstrated by him? |
A41639 | And is not this act as to its entitative mater, said to be put into their hearts by God? |
A41639 | And is not this the proper notion whereby Aquinas describeth the Concurse of God to al acts of the wil? |
A41639 | And is not this very act, entitatively considered, said to be put into them by God? |
A41639 | And may we without apparent contradiction to the light of this Text exclude the entitative acts of any sins, though never so intrinsecally evil? |
A41639 | And of those that grant immediate concurse in termes, how many yet denie it in realitie? |
A41639 | And shal we not allow the same Dominion to God, which is allowed to the Potter over his Clay? |
A41639 | And to whom doth this Prerogative belong but to God? |
A41639 | And was he not the Instrument of this efficacious direction? |
A41639 | And was it not also Gods pleasure or stated Decree, that they should thus agree? |
A41639 | And were not Rehoboam and Ahab both lawful Kings? |
A41639 | And what can this implie, but the bending his wil to the substrate mater, or entitative Act? |
A41639 | And what is al active concurse but the determination of the same efficacious wil? |
A41639 | And what is the effect of this judicial hardnesse, but to seal up sinners from the darknesse of mind to the darknesse of Hel? |
A41639 | And what is this but to predetermine their wils to the substrate mater of those evil workes? |
A41639 | And what makes the Jesuites denie Predetermination, but the like groundless perswasion? |
A41639 | And what more rational than this assertion? |
A41639 | And whence procedes al good but from the immense Ocean of good? |
A41639 | And why? |
A41639 | And yet is not this one of the most plausible subterfuges our Adversaries have to shelter themselves under? |
A41639 | And yet was there any action more conducing to the glorie of God than this? |
A41639 | And 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? |
A41639 | And yet, how much sin was there committed on the Assyrians part in punishing Israel? |
A41639 | Are not al gracious acts and habits loged in human nature? |
A41639 | Are not al natural Acts the effluxes of singular Supposites or persons? |
A41639 | Are not al offers, for want of this predeterminative Grace, altogether uselesse to them, for whom it never was intended? |
A41639 | Are not conditional Decrees inconsistent therewith? |
A41639 | Are not the very same forged calumnies charged on us now- adays? |
A41639 | Are not those very Acts, which are morally evil as to the Sinner, both naturally and morally good as to God? |
A41639 | As 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? |
A41639 | As 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? |
A41639 | As if he had said: Do not your own Poets tel you, that we are the off- spring of God? |
A41639 | As if he had said: Has not the Potter an absolute dominion over the clay, to forme it into what shape he please? |
A41639 | Ay, but more particularly,( 3) Who are these fishers? |
A41639 | But I replie, how can God efficaciously Govern, Moderate, and Direct the Act, unless he be also the effective Cause thereof? |
A41639 | But doth not sin as to the sinner denote a moral privation or deficience of that rectitude which ought to be in his act? |
A41639 | But is it so indeed? |
A41639 | But( 2) grant there be such a distinction in Nature, yet is it not most apparent, that it can have no place here? |
A41639 | Can a second cause move it self to an act, unlesse it be first moved thereto by the first cause? |
A41639 | Can any person or thing resiste the Divine efficacious wil? |
A41639 | Can the Divine wil be moved by any thing but itself? |
A41639 | Can there be any previous concurse immediately actuating and influencing the wil in its act, but what is predeterminative? |
A41639 | Can this, with any tolerable sense be applied to the passive Vendition, or the effects and consequents of the selling Joseph? |
A41639 | Can we find among the Greek Theologues any notices of this two- fold Libertie? |
A41639 | Did he not make althings? |
A41639 | Did he not then also make use of their politic contrivements, ambitiose wils, and rebellious affections as instruments in this worke? |
A41639 | Did not God then as much predetermine the former as the later? |
A41639 | Did not Gods efficacious direction termine on Shimei''s cursing as determined to such an object, namely David? |
A41639 | Did not the main act of malediction arise from his wil? |
A41639 | Did 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? |
A41639 | Did there not much blasphemie attend their wicked deeds? |
A41639 | Do any of the Greek Philosophers make mention of any libertie, but what is essential to the wil and al human acts? |
A41639 | Do not al mankind need an efficacious concurse and predeterminative wil to conduct them in al their affaires? |
A41639 | Do not al these consequences hang together in an indissoluble chain of invict Reason? |
A41639 | Do not our Adversaries hereby, according to their Principes, make God the Author of modal sins? |
A41639 | Do not possible, and future differ? |
A41639 | Do not the very Aristoteleans grant us, That action and passion are not really, but only modally distinct? |
A41639 | Do not the very Jesuites, Suarez, Carleton, with others grant, That one and the same sinful act is produced by God and the human wil? |
A41639 | Doth 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? |
A41639 | Doth 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? |
A41639 | Doth he not in that very moment, wherein he is predetermined by God to the entitative act of Sin, voluntarily espouse and wil that act? |
A41639 | Doth he not say here as much as we, abating only the terme Predetermination? |
A41639 | Doth it not then belong to the infinite bonitie of God, to permit sins to be? |
A41639 | Doth not Amyraldus, de Libero Arbitrio, as wel as we, make Libertie properly taken essential to the wil and al its Acts? |
A41639 | Doth not God in the glass of his own Decrees foresee al acts and events of the human wil? |
A41639 | Doth not Gods turning the heart in Scripture Phraseologie always import his effica ● … predeterminative concurse in applying the wil to its act? |
A41639 | Doth not Grammatic construction, as wel as the mind of the words utterly reject such a glosse? |
A41639 | Doth not Joseph ascribe the very active Vendition or action of Selling him, unto God? |
A41639 | Doth not sacred Pagine expressely speak so much? |
A41639 | Doth not the Election of the one necessarily implie the Reprobation of the other? |
A41639 | Doth not the Scripture declare expressely the mode of Prescience? |
A41639 | Doth not the wil necessarily depend on the previous concurse of the first cause? |
A41639 | Doth not therefore the same determinate Counsel or wil of God predetermine the substrate mater of sin, as wel as any act morally good? |
A41639 | Doth not this evidently denote an active efficacious permission of sin? |
A41639 | Doth not this make the first cause to be second, because dependent; and the second cause first, because independent? |
A41639 | Doth the Divine wil determine itself to the production of every singular individual effect? |
A41639 | Doth this amount to less than a down- right contradiction? |
A41639 | For 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? |
A41639 | For doth not a principal part of the Controversie depend on that scholastic Notion of Free- will? |
A41639 | For how is it possible, that the second cause should act, unlesse the first move and applie it to its act? |
A41639 | For if God concur on condition that man concur, doth God concur to that condition, or not? |
A41639 | For if God totally concur to the substrate act of sin, must he not also concur to the wil that puts forth that act? |
A41639 | For indeed, of what use are such personal Nominations and Reflexions, but to render us a grief to Friends, and reproche to Enemies? |
A41639 | For is it possible that the second cause loged in time should give futurition to a thing from Eternitie? |
A41639 | For is there any thing but God eternal? |
A41639 | For was there not a world of enmitie and hatred of God in it? |
A41639 | For what can make sinful acts future and so the object of Divine foreknowlege, but the wil of God, which gives futurition to althings? |
A41639 | For what is efficacious concurse, considered actively, but the efficacitie of the Divine wil predetermining to act so or so? |
A41639 | For 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? |
A41639 | God turneth the heart whithersoever he w ● …, is it not meant of an efficacious concurse? |
A41639 | Has mans infirme ambulatorie wil power to determine al such faculties, acts and effects as are subject to its Empire? |
A41639 | Has 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? |
A41639 | Has not the Potter power over the clay,& c? |
A41639 | Hath not the potter power over the clay,& c? |
A41639 | He workes althings, but yet doth not worke althings? |
A41639 | Hence doth not this certain Prescience infer as natural and absolute impossibilitie, as our predeterminative Concurse to the entitative act of Sin? |
A41639 | How can these things agree? |
A41639 | How comes it to passe, that they contend with so much heat and passion, for that which they confesse is not expressely delivered in Scripture? |
A41639 | How easie is it by Aquaducts to turne waters this or that way as men please? |
A41639 | How few of them agree on any one Principe or Medium for the solving this argument? |
A41639 | How is it possible that any thing should passe from a state of mere possibilitie, contingence, and indifference, but by some cause? |
A41639 | How is it possible, that God should influence the wil in the production of any act, without actuating or drawing forth the wil to act? |
A41639 | How little did he intend to serve God herein? |
A41639 | How many absurdities would follow hereon? |
A41639 | How much would this concession conduce to put a period to this controversie, were our Adversaries but ingenuous in their assent and consent to it? |
A41639 | How 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? |
A41639 | How was God with him? |
A41639 | If not, is there not then some act of the creature produced without Gods concurse? |
A41639 | Is God the Ordinator of evil Wils? |
A41639 | Is he not then the first Cause and Motor of al our motions? |
A41639 | Is it not an approved Maxime in Philosophie, yea in Nature, that the cause is ever, at least in order of nature, before the effect? |
A41639 | Is it not an end sufficient for the being of any creature, to be the glorie of any Attribute? |
A41639 | Is it not the wil of God? |
A41639 | Is it possible that these Phrases should be understood of a mere permissive wil? |
A41639 | Is it possible then that God should predetermine or concur to the passion and not to the action of crucifixion? |
A41639 | Is it so indeed? |
A41639 | Is not Libertie constituted by them and the Arminians as the foundation of al Moralitie? |
A41639 | Is not absolute Reprobation here, and that by the concession of Grotius, no friend thereto, clearly and fully asserted? |
A41639 | Is not al grace a supernatural mode implanted in human nature? |
A41639 | Is not every natural or entitative act individual or singular? |
A41639 | Is not lying a sin intrinsecally evil? |
A41639 | Is not the wil of God sufficiently potent to determine the wil of man in al its natural acts? |
A41639 | Is 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? |
A41639 | Is not this great Babylon that I have built,& c? |
A41639 | Is the soverain Lord tied to his Creature by any Law, more than what is in his own nature and wil? |
A41639 | Is there any sin so intrinsecally evil, which has not some entitative act or subject as the substrate mater thereof? |
A41639 | Is there any thing in the world purely, simply, and of it self sinful, without some substrate mater naturally good? |
A41639 | Is there not hereby an effectual dore opened to a progresse into infinite? |
A41639 | It is God, I wil send,& c.( 6) Why doth God send for them? |
A41639 | It is confest, that God and the Sinner concur to the same sinful act materially considered; but yet is their Concurse the same? |
A41639 | It''s true, the Sinner comes short of the Divine Law, and therefore sins, but doth God come short of any Law? |
A41639 | May not this also be demonstrated from the very concessions of our Adversaries, who grant, that vitiositie follows not any Act as a natural Act? |
A41639 | Must he not then applie their wils to the entitative act of those evil workes? |
A41639 | Must not every second Cause as such be actuated and so determined by its first Cause and his efficacious Concurse? |
A41639 | Must not the sinful qualities of al moral effects be imputed to the second particular cause, and not to the first universal cause? |
A41639 | Must not then the substrate mater of al sinful motions, even such as are intrinsecally evil, be reduced unto God as the prime Motor? |
A41639 | Must there not be a certitude of the Object, Medium, and Subject? |
A41639 | Must they not then be al decreed absolutely by God? |
A41639 | Must we not then also suppose two Crucifixions, one from God, and the other from the Jews? |
A41639 | Need sinners any other facultie, power, Aptitude or Habilitie to sin, but the rational faculties depraved? |
A41639 | Now how could God foresee this absolutely and infallibly, but in the predefinition or fore ordainment of his own Wil? |
A41639 | Now how could the death of Christ be infallibly predicted, if it were not predefined and preordained by God? |
A41639 | Now what doth Strangius replie to this? |
A41639 | Now what is Gods efficacious direction, but a part of his efficacious predeterminative concurse? |
A41639 | O Lord, why hast thou made us erre from thy ways, and hardened our hearts from thy fear? |
A41639 | Of what use then can this distinction of a two- fold Libertie be? |
A41639 | Or 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? |
A41639 | Or what certain prescience could he have of the salvation of any one elect soul, which wholly dependes on the death of Christ? |
A41639 | Or, is not the entitative act of modal and substantial sins the same as to kind, namely a real physic or natural good? |
A41639 | Or, 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? |
A41639 | Ought 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? |
A41639 | Pilate having power of life and death committed to him by Tiberius Cesar, he threatens our Lord therewith: and what replie doth our Lord make? |
A41639 | Shalt thou indeed reign over us? |
A41639 | Should not the holy God then, according to this sense, be the Author of a sin intrinsecally evil? |
A41639 | Si ergo servi sunt peccati, quid se jactant de libero arbitrio? |
A41639 | So now, it was not you that sent me hither, but God? |
A41639 | So that to distinguish active Vendition from passive, what is it but to distinguish one and the same Act from it self? |
A41639 | Suppose he predetermine to the entitative act of sin, yet must we thence necessarily conclude, that he predetermines men to sin formally considered? |
A41639 | Surely to die, and how? |
A41639 | The Babylonians, as it is generally said: But,( 5) Who is it that sends for these Fishers and Hunters? |
A41639 | The sin which he governs, is it not only sin in regard of the Creatures wil, not in regard of his wil? |
A41639 | Then saith Pilate unto him, Knowest thou not, that I have power to crucifie thee, and have power to release thee? |
A41639 | This 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? |
A41639 | To 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? |
A41639 | Was it not from God? |
A41639 | Was not Rehoboam Solomons Son, whom God made King? |
A41639 | Were not a modest 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 or suspension of assent more agreeable to such a Confession? |
A41639 | What Logic or wit of man can reconcile these Notions? |
A41639 | What Logic, Reason, or sense is this? |
A41639 | What could be more plainly and distinctly expressed to demonstrate Gods immediate concurse to that entitative act of Absalom''s Sin? |
A41639 | What could be said more acutely and distinctly for the demonstration of our Hypothesis? |
A41639 | What could be said more acutely, demonstratively and divinely for the deciding our controversie, would men but receive it? |
A41639 | What could be said more for the predefinition and predetermination of the substrate mater of an act intrinsecally evil? |
A41639 | What could more expressely be said for the asserting Gods efficacious predeterminative concurse to the substrate mater of sin? |
A41639 | What doth Strangius replie to this? |
A41639 | What doth this note? |
A41639 | What is soverain Dominion, but an absolute right to dispose of what is our own? |
A41639 | What is supernatural good but a ray of the divine Nature irradiated into human Nature, and seated therein as its proper subject? |
A41639 | What is the active principe of al Divine Concurse, but the Divine wil? |
A41639 | What is this but to exclude the far greatest part of human acts from being formed and framed by God? |
A41639 | What more commun with him, than this grand Effate, That God applies al second causes to their act? |
A41639 | What more expressely overthrows the soverain Dominion and universal Concurse of God, than such a general indifferent Concurse? |
A41639 | What other Aptitude or Habilitie doth God give unto the natural faculties as to sinful acts, but merely the facultie of acting? |
A41639 | What then do we contend so vehemently for? |
A41639 | Whence came that motion into the heart of Judas to betray Christ, with al the circumstances materially considered referring thereto? |
A41639 | Whence came these things but from the sacred Scriptures? |
A41639 | Whence he addes, He considereth al their works: what works doth he mean? |
A41639 | Where? |
A41639 | Why doth he use this manner of speech? |
A41639 | Wil it satisfie the Pelagians, Jesuites or Arminians? |
A41639 | Wil they say, that Gods predetermining men to the entitative act of unbelief contradicts such a real intention? |
A41639 | With skin and with flesh hast thou clothed me,& c. What could have been said more evidently to demonstrate our Hypothesis? |
A41639 | Would not any Fresh- man in Logic hisse such a consequence out of the Scholes? |
A41639 | Yea is there not morally an infinite distance between the one and the other? |
A41639 | Yea, doth not the ingresse of sin into the world belong to the perfection thereof? |
A41639 | Yea, how frequently do the very same persons differ from themselves in their sentiments about this point? |
A41639 | Yea, is it not expressely said, That God put into their hearts to agree,& c? |
A41639 | Yea, was not al good from Eternitie loged in the bosome of God, and sonot really distinct from him? |
A41639 | Yea, what is predetermination of the event, but predefinition in the Decree? |
A41639 | You sent me out of Hatred and Malice; but did not God send me out of great Love and pitie both to me and you? |
A41639 | You 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? |
A41639 | and doth not this give us a more abundant demonstration, that God predetermines the wil to that act? |
A41639 | and if so, must it not be applied and predetermined to its act thereby? |
A41639 | and if the subject be singular, must not the Action be also singular? |
A41639 | and is it not also the same Divine wil that gives futurition to things? |
A41639 | and is the second cause confined by time, before the eternal futurition of its effect? |
A41639 | and may it not, yea must it not then determine the human wil to al its natural acts? |
A41639 | and must there not be some cause of this difference? |
A41639 | and shal we not allow the great Creator of althings the same absolute dominion? |
A41639 | and therefore if God concur to the one, why not also to the other? |
A41639 | and therefore if God make a creature to be a vessel of wrath fitted to destruction, is there any injurie done to the creature? |
A41639 | and therefore may he not assume the Prerogative of ordering althings to the ends for which they were made? |
A41639 | and yet elsewhere how doth he start off from what is here granted? |
A41639 | as in the other, Whether Divine predestination imposeth a necessitie on things? |
A41639 | but doth it not, as to mans Concurse, speake moral vitiositie? |
A41639 | doth he not then efficaciously, yea predeterminatively move and order them in their very evil acts? |
A41639 | how else could he certainly foreknow that he would be crucified? |
A41639 | how is it possible then, but that he applie and determine them to the entitative act of their sinful workes? |
A41639 | how unbecoming and incongruous to the Divine perfections is such a general indifferent concurse? |
A41639 | i. e. the Earth, unto the number of their Gods: by what ceremonie? |
A41639 | is not the futurition of al natural Beings good? |
A41639 | is not then the substrate mater thereof some natural good? |
A41639 | or to what? |
A41639 | was it not they that sold him? |
A41639 | were not Pride and Ambition the main springs of his action? |
A41639 | were not this to make him the Author of sin, which every pious soul detestes? |
A41639 | were they not from God? |
A41639 | what a ful testimonie is here? |
A41639 | what a world of treason, murder, blasphemie, hatred of God and al manner of sin is involved in the wombe of this sin? |
A41639 | what poor subterfuges wil men flie unto to avoid the force and evidence of Divine light? |
A41639 | what the least mention is there of any such thing in the Text? |
A41639 | who would not think Strangius orthodox in this point, did he acquiesce here? |
A41639 | why may we not by the same reason prove, that the futurition of sin is God? |
A41639 | why then do they so daringly sift and prie into the Divine prescience, and draw it down to the model of our corrupt reason? |
A41639 | would our Adversaries but stick here, how soon would our Controversie be ended? |

A43008 | And is not this a pretty stratagem of the Devils? |

A43008 | Are not coldness and dryness as much necessary per se for life, as heat and moisture? |
A43008 | Are not the Poles of the Heavens immoveable, of the least efficacy? |
A43008 | Are not those parts of the Firmament alwaies discerned to be clearest, and most freed from obscure bodies? |
A43008 | Are we now so much astonisht at the formation of the body, what may we then be at the soul, by far exceeding the body? |

A43008 | This is a plain division of a being existent, and possible to exist; Where halts the Definition then? |
A43008 | This is futil: for what is apparent good, but a real evil? |
A43008 | This is just like them to run from one extremity to another: But how a Vacuum? |
A43008 | This manner of production is proper only to an infinite power: But you may demand, Why can not God invest the soul with this power? |

A61287 | he replyed, how come you to have so little? |
A61287 | how then can I deserve it? |
A61287 | if to none, begin with me? |
A61287 | no: what then? |
A61287 | nothing said hee, but as soon as you have drunk, walk till you find your leggs begin to fail? |

A26974 | & c. — Dare any say that God hath not commanded good works? |
A26974 | & c.] Is it not necessary that these be done then, both as duty commanded, and as a condition or some means of the end propounded and promised? |
A26974 | ( For the instrument is an efficient cause): And what if I dare not give so much to man? |
A26974 | ( and Receiving as Lord, to be the fides quae?) |
A26974 | ( what''s that to Gospel obedience?) |
A26974 | 1. Who dare say so, but the Vbiquitarians, and Transubstantiation men? |
A26974 | 13.10 Was the Precept of Accepting Christ, loving him in sincerity and obeying him& c. no part of that Gospel ▪ to which Paul was separated? |

A26974 | 20. of Justification? |
A26974 | 22. that say there is? |
A26974 | 24. and It is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth? |

A26974 | 5. Who denyeth that we have Faith and Repentance before Justification? |
A26974 | 8.18? |
A26974 | ? |
A26974 | ?] |
A26974 | A DISPVTATION OF JVSTIFICATION: Whether any Works be any Conditions of it? |
A26974 | A naked term[ Condition] expounded by you that never saw my heart? |
A26974 | Active or Passive? |
A26974 | Am I credible only when I speak amiss, and not at all when I speak right? |
A26974 | Am not I like to have a fair hand think you of this Disputer? |
A26974 | An efficientis Causalitas, Actio? |
A26974 | And I pray search, whether in this Question, you do not confound your Notions ex parte objecti, and ex parte Actus? |
A26974 | And can you think then that Remission and Justification have several conditions? |
A26974 | And do I need to say any more now in defence of this opinion, which my Reverend Brother saith is not to be endured? |
A26974 | And do not men that make address, address themselves in like variety? |
A26974 | And do we make any doubt of this? |
A26974 | And do you think Ghemnitius did join with the Papists of Trent, when he confuted them? |
A26974 | And do you think in good sadness that one single Physical act can be the act of both the faculties? |
A26974 | And do you think that we can any better tell when we have all that are Essential? |
A26974 | And doth he not thereby make over, as it were under his hand, the Lord Jesus, and all his Benefits to them that will receive him? |
A26974 | And doth it therefore follow that they can be no Conditions of our continued Justification? |
A26974 | And doth not every man that is saved so fulfill the conditions of the new Covenant? |
A26974 | And first, We must understand what it is that is distinguished: whether the Habit of faith, or the Acts? |
A26974 | And how can that Law pronounce a man, or his action righteous, which curseth him, and condemneth him to Hell for that same Action? |
A26974 | And how could you over- look it, that your Argument flyeth too boldly in the face of Christ, and many a plain Text of Scripture? |
A26974 | And how do these men vilifie them, and rob them of their highest honor, that deny them to be the Laws of God? |
A26974 | And how many new Methods and Doctrines of Philosophy this one age hath produced? |
A26974 | And how oft hath Bellarmine been called Sophister for supposing, we mean such an apprehension? |
A26974 | And how? |
A26974 | And if faith be a passive physical instrument, it must have a Physical Efficiency? |
A26974 | And if he had said,[ He that repenteth, or loveth, or calleth on the name of the Lord, shall be justified or saved] would not these have done it? |
A26974 | And if means, of what sort, if not conditions? |
A26974 | And if this be common to Hypocrites and Reprobates, what a case are we in then? |
A26974 | And if you did not mean that these are conditions of Pardon, and Justification, when you say they are, who can understand you? |
A26974 | And indeed what man denyeth it? |
A26974 | And is it not Christs whole Law which is of force when he is dead, and called his Testament? |
A26974 | And is it not great partiality to let the same pass as currant from them, which from me must be condemned? |
A26974 | And is it now come to that pass that these can not be known? |
A26974 | And is not Justification one benefit? |
A26974 | And is not final Justification a freeing us from that Curse? |
A26974 | And is not perseverance in faith as necessary as perseverance in obedience? |
A26974 | And is not that the Law and Testimony to which we must seek? |
A26974 | And is not that to say as much as I? |
A26974 | And is not the Promise undoubtedly Gods Deed of Gift? |
A26974 | And is not the imperfection of faith and repentance a sin? |
A26974 | And is the condition of her Dignity, only the Taking him as a Prince who is Rich and Honourable? |
A26974 | And is this wholly superfluous? |
A26974 | And may not this tend to an accommodation between us in this Point? |
A26974 | And now was here a fit occasion to speak reproach fully of Paul, as extream ignorant, or unfaithful, or immanis sophista? |
A26974 | And of our Divines that say there is inherent Righteousness? |
A26974 | And on the other side, whether it may not be of dangerous consequence, as injurious to Christ, to deny so great a part of his Dominion? |
A26974 | And so to Believe, is not agere, but pati or recipere? |
A26974 | And so whether we are justified by Works as such a Condition? |
A26974 | And that repentance is not recipient, how easily do I yeild to you? |
A26974 | And then how were all the faithful justified before Christs Incarnation and Ascension? |
A26974 | And then the question still remaineth, whether those qualifications are means or no means? |
A26974 | And what Reference to Justification is it? |
A26974 | And what Transient Act is it that God then and there puts forth or performeth? |
A26974 | And what do the generality of our Divines mean, when they say that Faith and new Obedience are our conditions of the Covenant? |
A26974 | And what do your defences do to justifie such dealing? |
A26974 | And what is Presumption, if it be not this very faith which Divines call justifying? |
A26974 | And what is the unwarrantable sense? |
A26974 | And what is the 〈 ◊ 〉 or Aptitude of faith but this? |
A26974 | And what is this, but plainly to forbid me to dispute with you? |
A26974 | And what then? |
A26974 | And what think you is the happy Light that deserveth all this ostentation? |
A26974 | And wherein is the Essential, formal difference between a wicked mans resting on Christ for Justification, and a true Believers? |
A26974 | And whether it be not introduced by Pious Divines meerly in heat of Disputation, which usually carryeth men into extreams? |
A26974 | And whether they stick in the air, and have all their Being first there, as Magyrus, and other Peripateticks? |
A26974 | And which is the more clear, certain and safe? |
A26974 | And which should you take to be indeed my sense? |
A26974 | And who ever said that in all or any of these the Soul is Passive and not Active? |
A26974 | And why do not stones wast by such an uncessant emanation? |
A26974 | And why may it not be added also to the Predicate, as well as it may Reduplicatively? |
A26974 | And why may not I be judged Orthodox in that point, when I heartily subscribe to the National Assemblies Definition? |
A26974 | And why may not I with Dr. Preston, Mr. Wallis,& c. say it is an Acceptance, or consent, joyned with Assent? |
A26974 | And why may we not say,[ A state of Sonship or salvation] as well as of Justification? |
A26974 | And why might not Abraham be instanced in? |
A26974 | And why speak you not of faith in one part of your comparison, as well as in the other? |
A26974 | And why then may not we call it faith? |
A26974 | And will you meet all these with your objections, and say,[ How shall I know when I have the full number? |
A26974 | And yet do you think this too big to be essential to Christian Faith? |
A26974 | And yet must we voluminously differ, when I have told you that I allow it? |
A26974 | And yet will you say that faith or inherent righteousness is Legal and not Evangelical? |
A26974 | Are not Knowledge, Words, Works, ours, by all which God saith, we are justified? |
A26974 | Are these things doubtfull among Divines or Christians? |
A26974 | Are we so well agreed, that you marvell at my supposition of this difference? |
A26974 | As for your discourse, whether Paul disputes what is our Righteousness? |
A26974 | At least do they not compound their Righteousness( as to the law of Works) partly of Christs satisfaction, and partly of their own Works? |
A26974 | But I ask, if there be justifying works, how saith Paul true? |
A26974 | But I wonder at his proof of his Sequel[ Because he who is ungodly is not legally righteous] what is that to the Question? |
A26974 | But Paul doth not resolve there[ what is the Condition on which Christ makes over this Righteousness of his?] |
A26974 | But are you indeed of the contrary opinion, and against that which you dispute against? |
A26974 | But do you indeed think that when Paul excludeth the works of the Law, that he excludeth them only as Recipient? |
A26974 | But do you not hereby confess that I give no more to works then you, but only less to faith? |
A26974 | But do you think that Repentance is not necessarily Antecedent to Justification, as well as to Remission? |
A26974 | But for works; How shall I know when I have the full number of them? |
A26974 | But from what interest? |
A26974 | But here is the question, Can a godly man dying, think the Righteousness of Christ is made his by working or believing? |
A26974 | But if it be the Object that he meaneth, then what force or sense is there in his Argument, from the terms,[ Purposing, Intending, Confessing?] |
A26974 | But if you do use it as a means, then what means is it? |
A26974 | But if you mean not this simple apprehension( as sure you do not) then how is it possible to imagine the understanding should be passive in it? |
A26974 | But if you will say so, what remedy But perhaps I intimate so much in my words; In what words? |
A26974 | But if[ only] be here understood, really doth not this Brother desire to know Christ obeying, Christ risen, Christ teaching, ruling, interceding,& c? |
A26974 | But in what sence James saith, we are justified by works, and not by Faith only? |
A26974 | But is it Christ or the believer that you put in these various Relations? |
A26974 | But is it not possible that it may cheat or deceive themselves, though some never utter it to the deceiving of others? |
A26974 | But is this the state of the question with us? |
A26974 | But now, on the other side, what inconvenience is there in the Doctrine of faith and justification as I deliver it? |
A26974 | But the question is whether the Interest of the several acts of our faith be accordingly distinct? |
A26974 | But to his Argument, I deny the consequence of the Major; and how is it proved? |
A26974 | But was it possible for them to be justified without the blood of Christ? |
A26974 | But what Condition? |
A26974 | But what are those All things? |
A26974 | But what condition? |
A26974 | But what if I be mistaken in this point? |
A26974 | But what if works and faith were both of them applyed to procure our Justification? |
A26974 | But what if you had only said that Faith is morally passive, and not physically? |
A26974 | But what is this to you? |
A26974 | But what remedy? |
A26974 | But what strange Arguments are these, that are such strangers still to the question? |
A26974 | But why do you say only of Repentance that[ it is the condition of Remision] and of forgiving others, that[ it is the condition of entring into life?] |
A26974 | But yet further, if Faith be passive Physically, let us find out first what is the Agent? |
A26974 | But you ask[ If Christs righteousness be able to satisfie, what is the matter that it removeth not all our Evangelical failings? |
A26974 | But your Doctrine, what Oedipus is able to unfold? |
A26974 | But, saith he, to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by the works of the Law, If the Righteousness of faith were not sufficient? |
A26974 | By what physical act of the Agent? |
A26974 | By what physical contact faith doth receive this? |
A26974 | Can I not tell you that your Argument is a Fallacy, but you will thus exclaim of me, as making you an Impostor? |
A26974 | Can every poor man or woman reach to know what a passive Action, or a passive Passion, or a Passive Instrument is? |
A26974 | Can he know that all shall work to him for good, though he know not whether he love God? |
A26974 | Can no man but the Perfectly obedient, perform the condition of pardon in the Gospel? |
A26974 | Can you find any lower place to give it? |
A26974 | Can you tell? |
A26974 | Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,( Guilt is the great load:) But under what Notion will Christ be come to? |
A26974 | Dare you tell any man of yout Hearers that though he have not so much as a Purpose to mend, yet he is justified by Faith? |
A26974 | Did Christ expiate the sins, that by the Gospel men are obliged to punishment for? |
A26974 | Did I ever deny that faith must eye and follow Christs death to bring us to God? |
A26974 | Did ever man that writ of Philosophy once think that the soul did componere, dicidere, ratiocinari, judicare, patiendo& non agendo? |
A26974 | Did not Abrahams Obedience, and other works flow from Grace? |
A26974 | Did not each of these forsake that which by the former was accounted the good sound Definition? |
A26974 | Did they ever tell you that this distinction is in them? |
A26974 | Did we ever deny that Faith must be directed to Christ as Priest? |
A26974 | Did you doubt of these? |
A26974 | Did you ever see my Papers, or theirs? |
A26974 | Digbyes Atomes or number of small bodies which are in perpetual motion? |
A26974 | Do I ascribe any of Christs honour in the work to man? |
A26974 | Do I call the duty, a work of the Law, because I say the Law condemneth the neglecters of it? |
A26974 | Do I say any more then the Assembly saith in the preceding Question? |
A26974 | Do you believe in your conscience, that Christ is presented and represented in the Supper only as dying? |
A26974 | Do you believe this your self? |
A26974 | Do you indeed think, that to be an efficient cause of our justification, and to be a bare condition, is all one? |
A26974 | Do you not believe this? |
A26974 | Do you not discern that the Question concerneth you and every man, as much as me? |
A26974 | Do you not give up the Protestant cause here to the Papists in the point of certainty of salvation? |
A26974 | Do you not see that it is against you? |
A26974 | Do you not your selves call it fides formata charitate? |
A26974 | Do you think he did? |
A26974 | Do you think that I deny a godly life to be a comfortable testimony, and a necessary qualification of a man for pardon? |
A26974 | Do you think that any of these do make the pardon to be of Debt, and not of Grace? |
A26974 | Do you think that only the first instantaneous act of faith doth justifie, and no other after through the course of our lives? |
A26974 | Do you think that the Law doth not threaten unbelievers, when the Gospel hath commanded faith? |
A26974 | Do you verily believe that Repentance and Faith have no Interest in our Pardon, in sub- ordination to Christ? |
A26974 | Does not every man that undergoes various relations, variously act according to them? |
A26974 | Doth God every moment at a Court of Angels Declare each sinner in the world, remitted of his particular sin? |
A26974 | Doth he that speaks of receiving a man to be our Husband, King, Master,& c. mean it of one only Act? |
A26974 | Doth his Title cease as oft as he shuts his lips from saying, I thank you? |
A26974 | Doth it intervene between Christ and the effect? |
A26974 | Doth not Christ say, Take my yoak learn of me to be meek and lowly, that they may have ease and rest? |
A26974 | Doth not the Apostle contradict you by expounding himself in the very next verse before those you cite? |
A26974 | Doth that dishonour it? |
A26974 | Doth the Doctrine of faith alone without Christ advance Grace? |
A26974 | Doth the Gospel justifie us? |
A26974 | Doth the first acceptance here serve turn for continuance of what is first received, without the following Homage and Fidelity? |
A26974 | Doth[ Trusting him and Believing him] exclude a Resolution to obey his Directions and the future actual obedience? |
A26974 | Ease and Rest? |
A26974 | Else why may not they see it in it self? |
A26974 | Enquire whether videre, audire, be only Grammatical Actions( as you call them) and natural passions? |
A26974 | Ergo,& c. The Major is evident: What Saint dare say, that he hath a work that makes not the Reward of Grace, especially when it is a work of Grace? |
A26974 | Even the performance of the Conditions on mans part? |
A26974 | Even they that raise questions, what one act of faith doth justifie, whether of the Vnderstanding or Will? |
A26974 | First you say, you exclude a co- operation effective, but why do we strive about words? |
A26974 | First, Did ever any man deny the necessity of inherent Righteousness, that was called a Protestant? |
A26974 | For how can they have any comfort that know not whether they are justified and shall be saved? |
A26974 | For is not this all that Paul ayms at in speaking so oft of Faith in Relation to Christs death and Righteousness, rather then to his Government? |
A26974 | For is that the state of the question with us? |
A26974 | For to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by works of the Law, if the righteousness of Faith were not sufficient? |
A26974 | For what Divine denyeth works to be a condition of Salvation, or of the final Justification? |
A26974 | For what is our final Justification, but a Determination of the Question by publick sentence, on our side, Whether we have Right to salvation or not? |
A26974 | For what should I do? |
A26974 | For your question, How come the imperfections in our conditions to be pardoned? |
A26974 | From what? |
A26974 | Had I but delivered such a Doctrine as this, what should I have heard? |
A26974 | Hath not God said?] |
A26974 | Hath the Covenant of Grace( which promiseth Justification and Glorification) any condition on our parts, or none? |
A26974 | Have not I ever yielded to you that all works are excluded from Justifying as works? |
A26974 | Have you not Christs express words, that forgiving others is a condition of our Remission? |
A26974 | He instances in Abrahams works, and excludes them: now were Abrahams works, works done by the meer strength of the Law? |
A26974 | Here is causality, though improper; Here is a causa dispositiva: and yet shall I be blamed after I had removed Efficiency and Merit? |
A26974 | His fifth Argument is, that[ These two Justifications overthrow each other: If by one we have peace with God, what need the other? |
A26974 | His own received him not; What is that but they refused him? |
A26974 | How can good works perfect our Justification, being themselves imperfect?] |
A26974 | How can justifying faith qua talis in the act of Justifying, and Repentance, be reducible duties to the Law taken strictly? |
A26974 | How could he have brought a plainer evidence against himself? |
A26974 | How could you wink so hard as not to see that your Argument is as much against your self as me, if you do but turn it thus? |
A26974 | How doth it receive it? |
A26974 | How oft doth the Scripture expresly mention faith in our Lord Jesus Christ? |
A26974 | How strangely is it painted? |
A26974 | How then can you tell the world in print, that it seems I have met with a pack of Impostors, even them you mention? |
A26974 | How then is Love the fruit of faith, and as Divines say, a consequent of Justification? |
A26974 | How will they know when they Repent and Believe, when they have performed the full of these? |
A26974 | How will you ever prove, that our Entering into Life, and our continued remission or Justification have not the same conditions? |
A26974 | How would you have your Reader understand these two insinuations? |
A26974 | I deny his Consequence: And how is it proved? |
A26974 | I wonder that men should so little know the difference betwixt Earth and Heaven; a sinner in flesh, and a Saint that is equal to the Angels of God? |
A26974 | I wonder what made you think me of such an opinion that I have so much wrote against? |
A26974 | I would know 1. whether we are Guilty( not only facti, sed poenae) of every sin we commit? |
A26974 | I would sain know what that is which you here call Faith, and say its passive? |
A26974 | If God had not said[ He that believeth shall be justified and saved,] would Believing have done it? |
A26974 | If Satan say, This man both deserved death by sining since he Believed( as David) must we not be justified from that Accusation? |
A26974 | If faith should deserve the name of an instrument, when I think it is but a condition? |
A26974 | If faith were such a Physical Passive( or Active) Instrument, whether that be the formal direct reason of its justifying? |
A26974 | If he[ have not works, can faith save him?] |
A26974 | If it be no cause of pardon; Is it a condition sine qua non, as to that manner of pardoning that your prayer doth intend? |
A26974 | If it were, Whether that be the primary, formal Reason of its justifying vertue? |
A26974 | If medii, then what medium is it? |
A26974 | If of that, it s granted: but it s still denyed that perseverance is any of the Condition of our first pardon? |
A26974 | If one righteousness may serve, may not Pilate and Simon Magus be justified, if no man be put to prove his part in it? |
A26974 | If so, what hope of Justice? |
A26974 | If the later, you might as well have said, the Socinians assert that there is a God, and so do we: But to what purpose? |
A26974 | If we are Guilty, how can that consist with a justified state? |
A26974 | If we must fulfill him ▪ why may not a dying man look on them? |
A26974 | If you have, what place is it? |
A26974 | If you say, What need you then dispute the point, if they deny it not whom you dispute with? |
A26974 | Indeed if the Condition be never performed, then it destroyes or prevents the effect, and so the Instrument doth not agere: And why? |
A26974 | Is Believing attributed to God, or is it an act of man? |
A26974 | Is Love any part of the Condition of her Pardon and Dignity? |
A26974 | Is Prayer any cause of Pardon? |
A26974 | Is believing and trusting the Physitian some one single act, excluding all others? |
A26974 | Is here any room for further disputing? |
A26974 | Is it Christ himself that is physically received by faith? |
A26974 | Is it a Passion? |
A26974 | Is it a clear and profitable way of teaching to confound all these, under the general name of Covenant- breaking? |
A26974 | Is it any danger to give less to faith then others, while I give no less to Christ? |
A26974 | Is it fit to Dispute with such dealing as this? |
A26974 | Is it harsh when yet you never once shew the fault of the Speech? |
A26974 | Is it justice for you still to perswade the world that I mean some causality, though not efficiency? |
A26974 | Is it meant they took him not in their hands, or received not his Person into their houses? |
A26974 | Is it not a good Argument Negative, Abraham was not justified by works, therefore we are not? |
A26974 | Is it not at all an Act therefore? |
A26974 | Is it not safe when a man hath prerformed these conditions, to look on them either living or dying? |
A26974 | Is it not this, whether the Gospel Righteousness be made ours, otherwise then by believing? |
A26974 | Is it repent, and Christs Righteousness is by this made yours, and rest in Christ? |
A26974 | Is it the Act of Faith? |
A26974 | Is it the Habit? |
A26974 | Is it the Name or the Thing that you mean? |
A26974 | Is it then a meet phrase to say, that she is pardoned and dignified by loving such a Prince? |
A26974 | Is it then any whit probable that it is Gods meaning to exclude this respect of the act from any conditionality herein? |
A26974 | Is it true, that[ this is that in effect, which the Papists affirm in other words?] |
A26974 | Is not Christ the Law- giver? |
A26974 | Is not Faith ours as much Love,& c? |
A26974 | Is not Love and Obedience part of the Condition? |
A26974 | Is not one kind of work omitted when it s my duty, enough to invalidate my Justification? |
A26974 | Is not this all that our Divines say, or require? |
A26974 | Is not this as much as I say? |
A26974 | Is not this as plain as may be? |
A26974 | Is not this one of the Opinionists, that so far joyneth with the Socinians and Papists? |
A26974 | Is not your Testament that gives your Legacy, because it gives conditionally? |
A26974 | Is that man justified that believeth not in Christ as the King and Prophet of the Church? |
A26974 | Is the Gospel that must be published among all Nations, the History only? |
A26974 | Is the condition of her Deliverance and Pardon, the taking him only under the Notion of a Pardoner or Deliverer? |
A26974 | Is there a further condition required to this condition? |
A26974 | Is there any difficulty in this, or is there any doubt of it? |
A26974 | Is there no aptitude in Christs legal Righteousness to give us life? |
A26974 | Is this a sweet and Christian sense? |
A26974 | Is this adding to the Scripture unjustly? |
A26974 | Is this an Act too? |
A26974 | It can not possibly by any one single Act or Passion which you call the passive Instrument: and do you think to find out many such? |
A26974 | Item quomodo causarentur relationes rationis, sive intentiones logicae, quae sunt in actu collativo? |
A26974 | Must not those Conditions be fulfilled by our selves? |
A26974 | My last Question was, Whether now your Doctrine or mine be the more obscure, doubtfull and dangerous? |
A26974 | Nay is it like to be the great business of that day to enquire whether Christ have done his part or no? |
A26974 | Nay the act is but a moral act, such as a Statute or Bond acteth, and what need Faith to be a physical Instrument? |
A26974 | None''s here so fruitfull as the Leaning Vine: And what though some be drunken with the Wine? |
A26974 | Nonne quod dicere quoque periculosum est, sed ad adificationem proferendum est, d ● abolum Domino praeponit? |
A26974 | Nor what Faith justifieth? |
A26974 | Nor whether Faith justifie? |
A26974 | Nothing to assure men of Justification by faith, but immediate communications to Believers? |
A26974 | Now I pray you tell me whether here be not full as much as Dr. Ward or I say? |
A26974 | Now how will they avoid Tompsons Doctrine of Intercision of that Title to Salvation, upon the committing of such sins? |
A26974 | Now the question is, what is the condition of this womans deliverance and Dignity? |
A26974 | Now would you perswade us that Paul excludeth this kind of Interest, or opposeth faith to it? |
A26974 | OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification? |
A26974 | OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification? |
A26974 | Of a Cause? |
A26974 | Or are there no such conditions which man must perform himself or perish? |
A26974 | Or can any thing but the want of this personal righteousness then hazard a mans soul? |
A26974 | Or do you think none were justified before? |
A26974 | Or doth every weak Christian believe all the twenty Articles that you mentioned at first? |
A26974 | Or from what Agent and Act? |
A26974 | Or he that gives any great matter on Condition of such Receiving, Doth he mean that any one single Act is that Condition? |
A26974 | Or is it excluded? |
A26974 | Or is it that Repentance is conjoyned as to our first Justification, and obedience as to that at Judgement? |
A26974 | Or is it the Intellective Reception of his species? |
A26974 | Or is that Promise to them only that suffer for the Declarative part only? |
A26974 | Or that believing in Christs blood for everlasting Life and happiness, should be any more called works then believing in his blood for Justification? |
A26974 | Or that it is this or that only Act? |
A26974 | Or the omission of many individual acts of faith? |
A26974 | Or was it ever his intent to advance some one act of theirs? |
A26974 | Or what do you say less then I do here? |
A26974 | Or what m ● ● ● Paul to rejoyce in the testimony of his Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity he had his conversation? |
A26974 | Or whether it is meerly Pati? |
A26974 | Or whether their Being is only in the eye? |
A26974 | Or, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the works which Paul excludeth from Justification? |
A26974 | Or, Whether it have only Entity and Verity, or only Goodness for its Object? |
A26974 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory? |
A26974 | Our Question is, How the sense of James shall be known? |
A26974 | Our question then is only of the nature, and reason of that necessity? |
A26974 | Pauls Question is, What is the Righteousness which must denominate a sinner just at the Bar of the Law? |
A26974 | Repented of all sins that must be Repented of? |
A26974 | Reply, First, I hope you would not make the world believe that I deny it; Did I ever exclude a dying Christ from the object of justifying faith? |
A26974 | Secondly, But what if that were so? |
A26974 | Seeing you think( truly) that Pardon is iterated as oft as we sin, by what Transient Act of God is this done? |
A26974 | Shall I again tell you the true ground of mens mistake( as I think) in this Point? |
A26974 | So that it is not the natural, but the moral Truth, that is wanting: And what is that? |
A26974 | So that it is one question to ask, Why doth Faith or Works of Obedience to Christ Justifie? |
A26974 | Still the Question wanting in the conclusion: Who denyeth that Christ crucified is the object of justifying faith? |
A26974 | That Readers do you expect, that will take an Assertion of Fear- Love, and Obedience, in stead of an assertion concerning Faith? |
A26974 | That by works he means not simply good Actions, as James doth, but such as make the reward to be of debt and not of Grace? |
A26974 | That the Church must be thus molested by such disputing volumes against it, to make the Papists and other enemies believe we hold I know not what? |
A26974 | The Question is not whether Faith work? |
A26974 | The conclusion never was acquainted with our Question? |
A26974 | The fifth Question is, Whether Faith be any Instrument of our Justification? |
A26974 | The fourth Question is, Whether other Graces may not be as properly called physical passive Instruments as Faith, is your sense? |
A26974 | The like I may say of a Testament or Deed of Gift: But what need many words in a case where the Truth is so obvious? |
A26974 | The question that James disputed, was, Whether men are justified by meer believing without Gospel- Obedience? |
A26974 | The third Question is, Whether faith be passive in its instrumentality? |
A26974 | Therefore it solely dependeth on it: And if these things were true, what are they to our question? |
A26974 | Thirdly, The words of the Jews to John( If thou be not that Christ nor Elias, nor that Prophet, why baptizest thou? |
A26974 | This Union is by Faith: We are united to him as to a Head, Husband and Prince, and not only as a Justifier? |
A26974 | This is the Wills first act towards it object; and will you say that Love goes before justifying faith, and so before Justification? |
A26974 | Thus methinks all that I desire is granted already: what Adversary could a man dream of among Protestants in such a Cause? |
A26974 | Truly it is quite beyond my shallow capacity to reach what you here mean to be so harsh: what should I imagine? |
A26974 | WHether Besides the Righteousness of Christ imputed, there be a personal evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation? |
A26974 | WHether the Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul? |
A26974 | WHether we are justified by believing in Jesus Christ as our King and Teacher, as well as by believing in his blood? |
A26974 | WHether works are a condition of condition of Justification, and so whether we are justified by works as such a condition? |
A26974 | Wards is to that of the Council of Tre ● t? |
A26974 | Was it ever the less a Law or Promise, the Object of Faith, or Instrument of Justification? |
A26974 | Was it not the Gospel which Christ and the Apostles preached? |
A26974 | Was it only the Declaration of Christs Death, Resurrection,& c. which is the Gospel according to which mens secrets must be judged? |
A26974 | Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the Altar? |
A26974 | Was there no Gospel- grant then extant? |
A26974 | Were Abrahams works in opposition to Christ? |
A26974 | Were it not then better to perswade all people, even when they are whoring, or drunk, to trust on Christ to pardon and justifie them? |
A26974 | Were you not comparing faith in Christ as King, with faith in Christ as Priest only? |
A26974 | What Agreement then hath this Argument with all the rest, or with his question? |
A26974 | What Mystical Relative Union is that which is not a Moral Union? |
A26974 | What a pack of Arguments are here? |
A26974 | What are the Conditions? |
A26974 | What are therefore these two kinds of Righteousness, but contradictory to each other? |
A26974 | What be the Deeds that you know my mind by to be contrary to my words? |
A26974 | What doth faith thus receive? |
A26974 | What doth it concern a sinner to be justified or condemned now before a Court of Angels, where he is not present, nor knows any thing of it? |
A26974 | What if Faith were passive in its Instrumentality? |
A26974 | What if I dare not do so, but give that glory to God, and not to the nature of our own act? |
A26974 | What if the Law condemn the neglect of a Gospel duty? |
A26974 | What is it that you call Sanctification? |
A26974 | What is it then? |
A26974 | What is justifying Faith? |
A26974 | What is more obvious, then that there are many conditions in justificato, which are not in actu justificationis? |
A26974 | What is the Terminus ad quem? |
A26974 | What is this thing called Faith, which you make such a Proteus, to be Active and Passive as to several Objects? |
A26974 | What more proper to the reformed Religion, as such, then to honour the Scriptures? |
A26974 | What not the signs by which faith it self should be known, and therefore should be notiora? |
A26974 | What real difference between the godly and the wicked, the saved and damned? |
A26974 | What room is there for them all, without confusion, If both color, quantity, odor, and all be there? |
A26974 | What sense would you make of it if you should interpret this and such texts as this of all moral Acts? |
A26974 | What the Action? |
A26974 | What the Patient or Object? |
A26974 | What then in the whole world shall escape that censure? |
A26974 | What then is the matter? |
A26974 | What tolearable sense can be given of that multitude of plain Scriptures which I have cited? |
A26974 | What''s this to the Question? |
A26974 | What''s this to the Question? |
A26974 | What, that Faith should be this subservient Righteousness? |
A26974 | When Tolet disputeth utrum ixtelligere sit pati? |
A26974 | When these plants of Hell do thrive upon us, under all our care to weed them up: what will they do when the Vineyard is left desolate? |
A26974 | When will you prove the Consequence of this Argument? |
A26974 | When you ask how saith Paul true? |
A26974 | Whence? |
A26974 | Whether Affiance, Recombency, Assurance,& c. or whether a Passion? |
A26974 | Whether Believing be so, only verbum activum, but Physically passive? |
A26974 | Whether Besides the Righteousness of Christ Imputed, there be a Personal Evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation? |
A26974 | Whether Christ himself be not the object of it? |
A26974 | Whether Faith be any proper Instrument of our Justification? |
A26974 | Whether Good be not the object of the Will, and so Christ be not willed as Good? |
A26974 | Whether Works are a Condition of Justification? |
A26974 | Whether a moral? |
A26974 | Whether faith be passive in its Instrumentality? |
A26974 | Whether is the Condition of the species or individuums of works? |
A26974 | Whether it be necessitas medii ad finem, as to the continuance or consummation of our Justification? |
A26974 | Whether justifying faith be not an act of the Will as well as the Understanding? |
A26974 | Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul? |
A26974 | Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the soul? |
A26974 | Whether the same may not be said as truly of other Graces? |
A26974 | Whether they be an image or similitude begotten or caused by the Object, as Combacchius and most? |
A26974 | Whether this or that act? |
A26974 | Whether this willing be not the same as Loving, as love is found in the rational appetite? |
A26974 | Whether to Believe be only verbum activ ● m? |
A26974 | Whether we are Justified by Beliveing in Jesus Christ, as our King and Teacher; as well as by believing in his Blood? |
A26974 | Whether you can call Affiance, or any other act of the will justifying faith, excluding this willing, or not principally including it? |
A26974 | Whether your Opinion or mine be the plainer or safer? |
A26974 | Which call you the good, sound definition of Faith? |
A26974 | Which of those acts do you think goes not before Justification? |
A26974 | Who ever said, and where, that passive Justification( yea or active) is the Gospel it self, or the sign? |
A26974 | Who speaks more against faith, they or I? |
A26974 | Who then gives more to works, you or I? |
A26974 | Who will say so? |
A26974 | Who would have thought that you had held such a point? |
A26974 | Why do I not understand with every dull thought? |
A26974 | Why from what they came burdened with? |
A26974 | Why may not Christ given us ▪ justifie us as the meritorious cause, and a principal efficient; and his Gospel- grant, as his Instrument? |
A26974 | Why may not a man know when he believeth in Christ as King and Prophet, and is his Disciple, as well as when he believeth in him as Priest? |
A26974 | Why may not faith be a condition, as well as an Instrument of receiving the pardon of its own Imperfection? |
A26974 | Why not Conditions as well as Instruments or Causes? |
A26974 | Why then do you still harp upon the word[ works] as if I did give more to them? |
A26974 | Why then should I aim at this mark? |
A26974 | Why then we say, it is his Ransom, his love and free mercy,& c. And if the Question be, what is it in him that dignifieth her? |
A26974 | Will any say that the Saints do no good works? |
A26974 | Will it not be as dangerous to omit that one as all, seeing that one is required as a Condition? |
A26974 | Will not such think they may sin salva fide? |
A26974 | Will not the omission of Repentance for one sin invalidate it? |
A26974 | Will you ask now[ If faith be imperfect, how comes the guilt of that Imperfection to be pardoned? |
A26974 | Will you call to any judicious Reader, to tell you that which I particularly exprest to you? |
A26974 | Will you not maintain it against a Papist when you are returned to your former temper? |
A26974 | Will you not produce your faith and repentance for your Justification against this charge, and so to prove your Interest in Christ? |
A26974 | Will you say, not by the words, but by the sense? |
A26974 | Will you thence infer that none are justified till death? |
A26974 | Will you therefore conclude that the Moral Agency or Efficiency of these Laws is past, and therefore they do not condemn or justifie? |
A26974 | Would you have us say more of them, or less? |
A26974 | Ye will not come to me that ye may have life: How oft would I, and ye would not? |
A26974 | Yea and whether there be any such thing? |
A26974 | Yea how great a controversie is it what the sensible and intelligible species are? |
A26974 | Yea is it not a notorious truth, that it is quite another thing which the Papists affirm in somewhat like words? |
A26974 | Yea what a dangerous loss will Christians then be at, who will hardly ever be able to find out this single Act, what it is and when they have it? |
A26974 | Yea when the rest are acknowledged to be part of the Condition? |
A26974 | Yea who doubteth but he might have given them without any condition, even that of acceptance? |
A26974 | Yea, Why do the best Divines preach so much against Presumption? |
A26974 | Yet in the places cited, who knows not the same word hath different senses? |
A26974 | You ask, Were Abrahams works in opposition to that,& c? |
A26974 | You ask[ Is it repent, and Christs righteousness by this is made yours?] |
A26974 | You confess that by ungodly, is meant such, though Regenerate and holy, that have not an adequate holiness: Adequate; To what? |
A26974 | You demand,[ Will you exclude his Obedience, Resurrection, intercession]? |
A26974 | You here ask me,[ Whether I think you deny a godly life to be a comfortable Testimony, or necessary qualification of a man for pardon?] |
A26974 | You know by Justification they mean principally Sanctification? |
A26974 | You reply, If there be justifying works, how saith Paul true? |
A26974 | You say the question is,[ Whether the Gospel righteousness be made ours otherwise then by believing?] |
A26974 | You say, how then saith James true? |
A26974 | Your conclusion now is nothing to the Question? |
A26974 | [ For if Faith( say you) justifie as a work] But who saith it doth justifie as a work? |
A26974 | [ He that spared not his own son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?] |
A26974 | [ Repent and be baptized( saith Peter) for the remission of sin; Of what sin? |
A26974 | [ The true meaning( saith he) of the Question[ whether we are justified by Faith or by Works?] |
A26974 | [ What doth God require of us, that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin? |
A26974 | [ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A26974 | [ can faith save him?] |
A26974 | and 10 29? |
A26974 | and all because he would not deny either Christ or Faith? |
A26974 | and excuse not Infidels from the guilt of Rebellion against the Redeemer? |
A26974 | and have limited our justification to any one act? |
A26974 | and how called? |
A26974 | and how can they know that, when they know not what justifying saith is? |
A26974 | and how can they know that, who know not whether they have faith? |
A26974 | and how can they know what it is, when it is by Divines involved in such a cloud and maze of difficulties? |
A26974 | and how we receive Christ, as a man takes a gift in his hand? |
A26974 | and instead of the act we are now set to enquire after the passion? |
A26974 | and is that positive or vehement affirming it? |
A26974 | and not as qualifying? |
A26974 | and saith, God giveth to will,( that is, to believe) and to do,& c. that all this is meant of meer Passion? |
A26974 | and should dream of such perfection short of heaven, the place of our perfection? |
A26974 | and so actively justifie us? |
A26974 | and so another to that with a processus in infinitum? |
A26974 | and so is Evangelically righteous? |
A26974 | and such a Love as is distinct from justifying faith as being no part of it? |
A26974 | and that it is of aequal difficulty upon your own and others opinion, as upon mine? |
A26974 | and the King? |
A26974 | and the very same? |
A26974 | and what is that? |
A26974 | and whether it be not the plain and frequent speech of Scripture? |
A26974 | and why hath it not been discovered unto the world? |
A26974 | and will there be joy in heaven for reducing a man from such an opinion? |
A26974 | and yet meerly Recipient? |
A26974 | are not those acts conditions? |
A26974 | believed all necessary Truths? |
A26974 | but what of that? |
A26974 | by him performed? |
A26974 | de Dieu, Bucer, Calvin, Zanchy? |
A26974 | especially least they should yield to universal Redemption in any kind? |
A26974 | except Mr. Pemble and a very few that with him make Sanctification and Vocation to be all one? |
A26974 | from what? |
A26974 | if not guilty: then what need of Pardon, of daily praying Forgive us our Debts, or of a Christ to procure our Pardon? |
A26974 | if so; then doth not faith justifie directly, as the condition of the Gift, Promise, or new Covenant? |
A26974 | is any excepted to the Penitent Believer? |
A26974 | is it by a further condition, and so in infinitum?] |
A26974 | is there any danger in it? |
A26974 | is there any danger in this? |
A26974 | it is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth? |
A26974 | no deed of Gift of Christ and his Righteousness to all that should believe? |
A26974 | nor his Intercession,( for who shall condemn us? |
A26974 | of that gift? |
A26974 | or do you think the difference to be of no moment? |
A26974 | or doth Scripture tell you? |
A26974 | or doth it signifie any one act? |
A26974 | or else that they do such good works as make the Reward to be not of Grace but of debt? |
A26974 | or is it only a condition without which he will not cure them? |
A26974 | or of another gift? |
A26974 | or of such sins as Davids, before Repentance? |
A26974 | or rather to advance the Lord Jesus whom faith Receiveth? |
A26974 | or shall any be saved that saith,[ I did not repent or believe, but Christ did for me?] |
A26974 | or should I be spoke against for the Doctrine of obedience, as if I gave more to man then you, when I give so much less? |
A26974 | or that ever such a thing can be proved? |
A26974 | or that there is no condemnation to him, though he know not that he is in Christ, and walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit? |
A26974 | or the act of any one single faculty that the people of the land must perform? |
A26974 | or to see through all the difficulties that I have discovered here in your Doctrine? |
A26974 | or to the constitution of the condition in the Gospel? |
A26974 | or what proof is there from Scripture for this? |
A26974 | or yet to enquire, whether the world were sinners? |
A26974 | or yet, that he hath commanded us in the Gospel, so to work that the Reward may not be of grace, but debt? |
A26974 | that every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bird, Stone,& c. and other bodies, have their several distinct species in the Air night and day? |
A26974 | that is to bring Christ down from above: or who shall descend into the deep? |
A26974 | that is to bring up Christ again from the dead: But what saith it? |
A26974 | that we deny even to all: Of a Condition? |
A26974 | that[ If thou confess with thy mouth, and believe in thy heart,& c.] that[ If] is a conjunction conditional? |
A26974 | the Trusting to Christ for Pardon and Salvation only, without taking him for their King and Prophet? |
A26974 | the satisfaction of a surety? |
A26974 | to justifie? |
A26974 | to note[ what in Christ received doth justifie] rather then[ what respect of our act of faith is the condition?] |
A26974 | to the Law? |
A26974 | what is the danger? |
A26974 | what need any more then to be said of it? |
A26974 | when I say, that[ all that I have to do with, grant the Antecedent] and what''s that to the question in hand? |
A26974 | whether Assent only, or Affiance? |
A26974 | whether they can be the Subjects of Passion; and so be passive Acts? |
A26974 | which yet because it is no way made ours but by believing, therefore he so puts the Question, whether by works of the Law, or by faith? |
A26974 | why by its fruits and concomitants, and that we take Christ for Lord as well as Saviour, or to save us from the power of sin as well as the guilt? |
A26974 | why is not the willingness he should raign, part of saving, justifying faith? |
A26974 | why then if you be so tender, who may deal with you? |
A26974 | with most do affirm? |
A26974 | would not men think that learning made them dote? |
A26974 | yea and what Law shall condemn them, if the Law of Works justifie them? |
A26974 | yea deny this to the Gospel it self? |
A26974 | — But the Righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven? |
A26974 | — For where was any Legal Righteousness of the good thief on the Cross, condemned for legal unrighteousness? |
A50014 | A HEN, that a Kite lays wait for her Chickens to snatch them away and devour them? |
A50014 | A Point not discernable to the Eye, and wholly Individual? |
A50014 | After what manner will Animals differ from Men? |
A50014 | And are not many times the most sensible Objects the least perceptible to our Intellectual Sight? |
A50014 | And besides, How comes it to pass, that God taking Care of all things, his Thunder often spares the Wicked, and strikes the Innocent? |
A50014 | And can not the Infinite Power of GOD, at least, do as much as our Finite Intellect can conceive? |
A50014 | And do not all things that we see, decay daily, and hasten to their End? |
A50014 | And how could there be a Mean, without Extreams? |
A50014 | And how few seasonable and fruitful Autumns do we enjoy? |
A50014 | And how little is he concern''d with being banisht from his own Country, whose Heart is ● ixt on a Heavenly? |
A50014 | And if like Children and Madmen, we want the power of chusing or refusing? |
A50014 | And if the waters do not touch them, how shall they communicate their saltness to them? |
A50014 | And in how short a time would Cheese grow cheap? |
A50014 | And indeed what likelyhood is there that, that which is Hard and Solid, should be hurried along by that which is Fluid and Weak? |
A50014 | And is it not meerly accidental, that they appear this time rather than another? |
A50014 | And is not the VVinter Season changed from what it used to be? |
A50014 | And lastly, as long as Temperance is not kept within its due bounds by Fear, Shame and the Emulation of our Perfidious Nature? |
A50014 | And shall not we from this General defection conclude, that Old Age hath overtaken the VVorld, and that all Creatures are hastning to their Exit? |

A50014 | But some will say, If GOD be Good, why doth he permit the Corruption of Nature, and the Sins of Men to offend his Divine Majesty? |
