A57656But why, Sir, do you weep at such a sight?
A57656Christ tells us, that when hee comes againe, hee will scarce find faith upon the earth; how then will the Churches great Wheele move?
A57656Did not many Kings and Prophets desire to see that which you slight, and could not see it?
A57656Did not the Apostles see him ascend in a cloud?
A57656Doe no ● you know, that the forme actuates the Compositum, and restraines the extravagancie of the matter?
A57656Doe not you acknowledge it an Article of your Creed?
A57656Doth it putrefie, or corrupt, or vanish to nothing?
A57656Doth not the matter receive the forme, and sustaine it?
A57656First, how came he to be a temporall Prince?
A57656Fronti nulla fides; how many are deceived by the face and hand?
A57656Gregory the seventh,& c. who gave themselves to Sathan and Witchcraft?
A57656How disposeth he us to be wealthy?
A57656How is it, that ever since, ● hat lake hath been full of Bitumen?
A57656I think ● t is profanation, and taking of Gods Name in vaine: For, what doe you pray for?
A57656If the gold be pure, why feares it the Touch- stone?
A57656If there had been no dispute against Arius, Nestorius, Eutychus, Macedonius, and other Hereticks, how should the truth have been vindicated?
A57656Is hee not said to ascend above all Heavens, and that the Heavens must containe him, till his second coming?
A57656Is it not the nature of the fire?
A57656Is it out of pity, to see such folly?
A57656Is not ● his obscurum per obscurius?
A57656Is the dead body of an Ethiopian numerically the same with the dead bodie of a Scythian?
A57656Is this ● our Religion, to make God the authour ● f sin, and to take away f ● om man totally ● he liberty of his will?
A57656Ninthly, by this ● lso the appetite of the matter is taken away; for to what can it have an appetite, ● eeing it retaines the forme of the plant?
A57656No, say you: What then?
A57656On a mountaine?
A57656Or, disposeth hee us actively?
A57656Passively?
A57656Secondly, in a ● old body the bloud is congealed, how ● hall it grow fluid againe without heat?
A57656Shall I not strive to know God at all, because I can not know him here perfectly?
A57656The Schooles will tell you, that the Angels differ specifically one from another, how then can they and the soules of men differ only numerically?
A57656The difference only is, that they play''d the part of Democritus, but the physician of Heraclitus: now which of these are most blind with prejudice?
A57656Thirdly, what becomes of this body, when the Sun goeth downe?
A57656Was Abraham, ● saac, Iacob, and other rich men in Scripture, borne under Iupiter?
A57656Was Sodome and the other Cities built in that lake?
A57656Was it because he or they, by curing all diseases freely, would have hindered your practice?
A57656Was not Saint Paul caught up into the third Heaven?
A57656We reade, that Zoroastres was the first witch in the world, and hee lived after the Floud; were there no spirits, I pray, till then?
A57656What a skipping Angell will ignis fatuus make?
A57656What a strange ● od doth your allegoricall description de ● ypher to us?
A57656What need you any other proofe then the Text it selfe, which is so plaine, and the unanimous consent of the whole Church from the beginning?
A57656What water can cleanse the soule, but that which flowed from our Saviours pierced heart?
A57656What''s ● ecome of the famous Churches of Co ● inth, Ephesus, Laodicea, Philadelphia,& c. planted by the Apostles themselves?
A57656Where then would you have had them build it?
A57656Whither was it that Christ ascended?
A57656Who set ● he lake on fire?
A57656Why then doe you call the great Sphere the first movable?
A57656Will you have reasons out of Philosophy?
A57656Would you bring in againe ignorance, the supposed mother of Devotion, but indeed, the true mother of Confusion?
A57656all these are absurd: Or doth it follow the body of the Sun?
A57656and how can they worke without the soule?
A57656and how can this operate without union to the body?
A57656but is there such a strict relation between witches and spirits, that hee that denies the one, must needs deny the other?
A57656he that laughs at the folly of superstitious Processions, or he that weeps out of a preposterous devotion?
A57656he will not say so; then they are different bodies: but by what?
A57656or how hot without the animall and vitall spirits?

A57656that it ● ever flamed since?
A57656the forme is gone: is not then the difference in respect of the matter and accidents, which remaine in the carkasse?

A65800And are not these differences betwixt Luthers case and mine, whom you so charitably endevour to parallel, sufficient to distinguish our dooms?
A65800And are you so unadvis''d as not to know the Council speaks as well of the Souls to go out of their bodies the following ages, as in those before?
A65800And doth not a grief include a desire of the contrary?
A65800And for souls going to Heaven by them, if they take away the pains of Purgatory, with what face can you deny it?
A65800And what signifies this, but what is consequent to that?
A65800And why such fierce unchristian words; Miscreant and Imp of Hell?
A65800Are not all these griefs for what men can not help?
A65800Are you better acquainted with human affairs?
A65800Are you ignorant of the pudder at Paris about censuring Monsieur Arnaulds letters, which censure was not approved at Rome?
A65800Are you not asham''d to dream of such follies in pure Spirits?
A65800As in the present, what concerns it my Faith whether many or few interpret the Bull and Councill as you or I say?
A65800Besides, may not all the other Altars, where the same great work is perform''d, justly complain, that you endeavour their impoverishment?
A65800Besides, when would the Pope take notice of what is publisht in France or England if no body cry Fire?
A65800But how many such do you cite?
A65800But if you mean that there was no Son in God, but some creature, was call''d Son as the Arrians held, then what signifies this word in Divinis?
A65800But tell me first, may a Catholick protest nothing that a Protestant will subscribe to?
A65800But well, what must be said to St. Peters Soul and the Soul of St. Teresa, hath not St. Peters a greater duration then St. Teresa''s?

A65800Can any thing be so agreeable to the Body as that, more disagreeable or unpleasant than this?
A65800Can there be possibly words more clearly contradictive of what you pretend?

A65800Did you never hear of Niggards that hang''d themselves because of some great loss they had receiv''d?
A65800Did you never hear of a Lover that made himself away, because he could not compass the enjoying of his Mistress?
A65800Do Scripturists invent Scriptures when they seek out the sence hidden in those writings?
A65800Do not Lawyers dispute the meaning of the Laws after they see the Words ly before them?
A65800Do you make no difference between inventing Divinity- truths and finding out the Meanings of the Words in which they are deliver''d?
A65800Do you think that one who dy''d obstinate in schism was sent to Purgatory because he did many Alms as is reported in another Revelation?
A65800Do you think there is in the next world Excommunications and restorings to communion as is exprest in one of those Revelations?
A65800Doth any of them say his pure thought has that power, or his Will if it budds not into words?
A65800First, I would know what you mean by that terme in Divinis; Whether in the substance of God?
A65800For speaking of one onely Angel, either he is in some act or in none?
A65800For they have no more connexion then green and d ● l ● ful, or what disparate terms you please to compound into strong non- sence?
A65800For who is there that hath an ounce of brains who will give authority to the Church to determin all the subtle quirks of the School?
A65800For who( say you) shall render it evident, that in the state of separation, by the omnipotent hand of God she may not be made passive by fire?
A65800For, first, I ask you, whether you mean in necessary points or unnecessary ones?
A65800For, what famous Divine, what University, what Bishop is not thought fit to censure a malignant proposition?
A65800His answer in substance is, that you misconstrue the Pope and Council as it hath been declar''d by him and me before?
A65800How doth Tully seem to compassionat himself for the torment of ambition?
A65800How maliciously blind then was the observer you follow, who could not see such distinctive expressions?
A65800How much mistaken is all your discourse about the proceeding to higher Tribunals after so great diligence of scrutiny?
A65800How pitiful a man was he when Clodius prevail''d against him?
A65800I Suppose you have perus''d the Book I here pretend to Answer; And, how do you like it?
A65800If any thing be to be look?
A65800If in none, either his nature with the pure force of his Power,( which the schools call Actus primus) can burst into an act, or it can not?
A65800If then we have once certainly found the Truths of Philosophy, can there be any danger that what we have so found should contradict our Mysteries?
A65800If this satisfy you not, what think you of Health and Sickness?
A65800If you say with it, I ask you how much counsell, and to what period?
A65800In this case was it fit the Pope should define what became of such Souls or no?
A65800In your 33 Section, you go on with your questions; easie to ask, but long agoe resolved?
A65800Is it all one to contend about white and black, and about colours in generall?
A65800Is not every Preacher subject to be forbidden the Chair if he advance a proposition that the Bishops Theologall thinks not fit to be suffer''d?

A65800Is not this a gallant attempt?
A65800Is there not regularly in all Dioceses some Censor Librorum expresly appointed?
A65800Let my first question be, whether in all the explications you have heard of the fall of Angels, you find any but of some impossible object?
A65800Must it hold till by reason they see a necessary connexion with the deliver''d Faith?
A65800My next question is, whether if there be no intrinsecal change, there can be any addition intrinsecally made?
A65800Never of an ambitious Courtier, that took a grief and dy''d upon a disgrace offer''d him from his Prince?
A65800Nor onely these, but indeed, who is there of any note that will say a Council is Infallilible unless it proceed Conciliariter?
A65800Now how do you prove what you say is to the purpose?
A65800O how gay a thing it is to speak words and not understand them?
A65800O what want had Solomon of such a Ghostly Father?
A65800Or, secondly, That It is Defin''d either in the Bull or Council?
A65800Pray you tell me in your next Discovery, to how many Masses on our common Altars is one of your Priviledg''d Ones equivalent?
A65800Put him now in act, either his Essence with this Act, abstracting from all other circumstances, is productive of a 2d act, or it is not?
A65800Qui est hic?
A65800Secondly, I ask you whether without counsel or with it?
A65800Sweet Sir, will this serve think you to prove your Adversary a Puny, and your self a great Clerk?
A65800That it shall be one never reveal''d by God, and yet exprest by the very words in which God reveal''d his?
A65800Then you demand who ever believ''d, our Souls in this life are truly and really our Bodies, and our Bodies our Souls?
A65800Think but how contrary''t is to mans Nature, and the profession of the Church, to forbid Learning?
A65800This being so laid out, what have you to except why the pleasantest life is not the fittest to attain Heaven?
A65800We have heard constantly( say you) that Souls are deliver''d out of Purgatory by these powerfull helps before the day of Judgment?
A65800We whose Logick tends to Demonstration, agree that the Subject is not affirm''d, but is that of which the Predicate is affirm''d?
A65800Were men doubtfull of their Faith, before he and his fellows in iniquity set themselves to snarl at it?
A65800What a strange boldness is this?
A65800What an inconsiderate manner of arguing is this?
A65800What do you mean?
A65800What may be your Arms fit for so great an Atchievment?
A65800When you say then he sufferd with an invincible courage, do you mean of both parts, or onely of the rational?
A65800Wherein consists then my Paganism?
A65800Why then are you so touchy, as if there could not be abuses in these things?
A65800Will any Protestant be content to have lost his cause if any decree of a Pope be expresly repugnant to him, which I there also profess?
A65800Will you have me give you an Instance?
A65800With which person suit these words best?
A65800Yet you very heartily beg to know, why the damned Souls do not repent themselves at the day of Judgment, and become Saints?
A65800You ask, if Charity brings a Soul immediately to Bliss: What then does your Adversary think of Lumen Gloriae?
A65800You ask, who ever fancy''d such an Identity betwixt the Body and Soul?
A65800You promist me formerly the sweet style of Love- Letters; but anon very furiously and unkindly call me Epicurean, Pagan, Heathen, and what not?
A65800You speak this so confidently, that I may imagin you have talk''d with some of them, and they have told you so, and then who dares deny it?
A65800and confound all Sciences into a Chaos of probability?
A65800and where is my Paganism?
A65800and, however, so convenient in all cases?
A65800are they all therefore presently to be condemn''d as faithless?
A65800can not your self demonstrate there''s a God?
A65800do not your Doctors generally agree that somthing in Religion is demonstrable?
A65800do you think it is not the fancy of an Idle brain to imagin Souls are sent to bathes to scrub and rub men there to be acquitted of their sins?
A65800from endeavouring to come to Demonstration as near as we can?
A65800has he done his work?
A65800has he solidly prov''d, That the position he sustains is a Truth traditionarily deliver''d from the Apostles to us as a point of Catholick Faith?
A65800not to distinguish betwixt substance and an Accident?
A65800or can it ever become an Article of faith which the whole Church professes is but an Opinion now?
A65800or in The ● logy, or speaking of God?
A65800or rather will not the Reader judge that the differences of your performance will transpose those appellations?
A65800or that for a long time they preacht it as a probable truth?
A65800or, which perhaps you will think more like our case, instead of the term defin''d suppose the definition?
A65800or, without engaging at all into the degree of its assuredness?
A65800so that this being pass''d must stay in some even to the day of Judgment by your own explication?
A65800that of the dead, or of the Priest?
A65800to cut off all hopes of Certainty?
A65800to hinder men from searching the true Meaning of Gods word?
A65800to ten?
A65800to wit, that it doth not follow out of this Doctrin of St. Thomas that there is no Errour in Angels?
A65800why do you not play fair, and tell me, that one Mass there, is something better then half two elsewhere?
A93091& 9. and all over the Scripture, are they not in nature first given to mankinde?
A930911 It will not follow; for first, if the Apostle in extraordinary cases baptized privately, will it follow that in ordinary dispensation it may be so?
A930911 What is all this to the purpose, what light or derection a Church need to receive?

A93091To the second, with what profession( charity, according to rule) is to rest satisfied?
A93091True, but where?
A93091Was it in any place where they dwelt, and so might they circumcise themselves?
A93091Was it not to subject himselfe to all the Statutes, Commandements, and judgements of God in his Church to walke in them?

A93091and so if an orthodox professor will frowardly forsake all Churches and live alone, or among the heathen, how is hee within?

A93091hast thou not yet learned so much wisdom, as to kisse the son, no not now when he is angry and the sword in his hand?
A93091hath ● ot the Lord received them?
A93091have we not our ignorances and frailties?

A93091or if so, should not this perswade us to bee of one minde in the Lord?

A93091or who shall censure them for refusing, by any rule of Christ?
A93091or withdraw from them that use them?
A93091ordinary or extraordinary?
A93091shall we lose the blessing of peace- makers?
A93091shall wee by such differences, thus gratifie Satan, Jesuites, Prelates,& c. and strengthen their hands by weakening our owne?
A93091shall wee thus suffer peace to goe from us, and not follow and pursue it?
A93091was it because debito and de jure onely, they should be so?

A93091were it Christian liberty, or dangerous licenciousnesse to leave such a man to his owne counsels, and not meddle with him?
A93091what is that to the faithfull?
A93091what shall wee say of the Worke it selfe of the kingdome of Christ?
A93091what though the Minister offer the service?
A93091what, is there no consolation in Christ, no comfort of love, no fellowship of the spirit?
A93091when many Ministers and people( well thought of by the best) were carried away shamefully with these things?
A93091when many weake Christians were staggering and wavering and looking at the judgement and practise of their guides, ready to stand or fall with them?

A51294A Cure, Philopolis?
A51294A fine thing to play with, Hylobares; what then?
A51294A goodly sight: but what of all this?
A51294Again, Cuphophron, is the Soul united to the Body by its Essence, or by some essential Attribute of the Soul?
A51294And I pray you how much better is this then the Pagans sacrificing of men to Diana Taurica?
A51294And are not all things Toies and Fools- baubles and the pleasures of Children or Beasts, excepting what is truly Moral and Intellectual?
A51294And as for Beeves and Sheep, the more ordinary food of Man, how often is the Countrey- man at a loss for Grass and Fodder for them?
A51294And by what Arguments, I beseech you, does he pretend to inferr so impious a Conclusion?
A51294And do not you, Hylobares, hold the Soul of man to be an Incorporeal indiscerpible Substance, a Spirit?
A51294And have you not as distinct a Notion of every one of these Attributes as of the other?
A51294And how do you know, Hylobares, but that other would be so likewise?
A51294And if the Philosophers themselves be such fools, what are the Plebeians?
A51294And if the one be Gold, I pray you what is the other?
A51294And indeed where do they not rule them?
A51294And that in one instant of time they can fly from one Pole of the world to the other?
A51294And that the Spirit of man, which we usually call his Soul, is wholly, without flitting, in his Toe, and wholly in his Head, at once?
A51294And what is the gaudiness of Fools Coats but the gallantry of these Wits, though not altogether so authentickly in fashion?
A51294And what so good wisedome, as to contrive things for the highest enjoyment of all?
A51294And what think you of Land and Sea, whenas all might have been a Quagmire?
A51294And who knows but a very lucky one?
A51294And who knows but he that is born a natural Fool, if he had had natural Wit, would have become an arrant Knave?
A51294And why do men rule the women, but upon account of more Strength or more Wisedome?
A51294And why not the Sea too, Bathynous?
A51294And why not, Cuphophron?
A51294And will History acquit the civilized World of this piece of Barbarity, Euistor?
A51294And, lastly, what is Lust, but Self- love seeking its own high delight and satisfaction in the use of Venery?
A51294Answer, Cuphophron: why do you gape and stare, and scratch your head where it itches not?
A51294Are then the Opinions of God''s being no- where and of his being every- where alike conducive to Vertue and Piety?
A51294Are there any more Scruples behinde touching Divine Providence, Hylobares?
A51294Are these the same Arguments, Hylobares, that you intended to invade me withall?
A51294Are you not throughly satisfied hitherto, Hylobares?
A51294Besides, why is this to be charged upon Providence, that there are so few?
A51294But I ask you, does not the Rational Soul by the power of its Will move the Body?
A51294But I pray do you tell me, Cuphrophron, what is Rest?
A51294But I pray you tell me, Philotheus, did any of the old Fathers of the Church dream any such Dream as this?
A51294But I pray you, Cuphophron, who is that Hylobares?
A51294But admit the necessity of dying, what necessity or conveniency of the frequentness of Diseases?
A51294But are you sure, Hylobares, that this were the most perfect way that Nature could pitch upon?
A51294But can not you also think of two things at once, O Cuphophron?
A51294But did I not preadvertise you, that no humane Authority has any right of being believed when they propound Contradictions?
A51294But did you not observe, Hylobares, how I removed Sympathy from the Capacity of Matter?
A51294But do Thunderbolts conduce any thing to that, Philotheus?
A51294But dost thou think thus to drown our sense of solid Reason by the rapid stream or torrent of thy turgid Eloquence?
A51294But have you no other Argument for it, Hylobares?
A51294But how can that which is immovable, O Sophron, be the Genus of those things that are movable?
A51294But how do you know, Hylobares, that there is such an infinite number of Earths?
A51294But how does this Truth consort with his Goodness, whenas it declares to us that the World has continued but about these six thousand years?
A51294But how shall we be so well assured of the Existence of a Spirit, while the comprehension of its Nature is taken for desperate?
A51294But how shall we redeem our Imagination from this Captivity into such sordid conceits?
A51294But if he doe not thus, it is a sign his heart is not clean, and therefore why should he grumble that he is punished?
A51294But if it imply no Contradiction, what hinders but we may attribute it to him?
A51294But if there be one Congeries of Divine Atomes that keep together, in which of those infinite numbers of Vortices is it seated, or amongst which?
A51294But in that he has made it much larger and sooner, to what leading Attribute in God is that to be imputed, O Sophron?
A51294But in the mean time why might not Man have been made a pure Intelligence at first?
A51294But is it found Finite, Philotheus?
A51294But is it not very ridiculous in the Virginians, to cut away half of their upper and lower Beards, and leave the other half behind?
A51294But is not the actual describing of a Figure in a mere possible Extensum like sense to the writing of an actual Epistle in a possible sheet of Paper?
A51294But is not this still a great disparagement to the Bride?
A51294But is there not something in the following Verses about Childrens Rattles?
A51294But is there nothing observable touching their Opinions of the other State, in order to which they may undergo these Hardships?
A51294But it seems necessary to attribute it to him: else how can he manage the affairs of the World?
A51294But suppose they be Atheists, how many thousands are there of such kinde of Cattel in the most civilized parts of Europe?
A51294But the painting of their Skins with Serpents and ugly Beasts, as the Virginians are said to doe, how vilely must that needs look?
A51294But to whom were they sacrificed, Cuphophron?
A51294But well, what of all this, Philotheus?
A51294But what are the Quere''s you would propose touching the Kingdome of God, O Philopolis?
A51294But what does this Arrow aim at?
A51294But what have you to gratifie the Ear, Cuphophron?
A51294But what is that to me, if I do not?
A51294But what is there to gratifie the Touch, Cuphophron?
A51294But what is this Story of a Bull to that of the Cow the Brammans speak of?
A51294But what makes you attribute Disunity to Matter rather then firm Union of parts, especially you attributing Self- inactivity thereto?
A51294But what more then ordinary mischief came to the Inhabitants?
A51294But what needs any such supposition, O Sophron?
A51294But what shall we think of the Tartars and Maldives cutting off all their Hair of the upper Lip?
A51294But what shall we think of those Barbarians in whom there never was any thing of the Divine Life, nor any moral possibility of acquiring it?
A51294But what then, Hylobares?
A51294But what think you of the Priest of Calecut, Cuphophron?
A51294But what think you of the whole Body, Hylobares?
A51294But what use, could you make of the Silver Key, when that Divine Personage explained nothing of it to you?
A51294But when a Phancy is once engrafted in the Minde, how shall one get it out?
A51294But where find you any such examples in the West- Indies, Euistor?
A51294But where is then the Soul?
A51294But who knows but that there may be some usefulness of it, as in the Amazons cutting off their right Breasts, the better to draw their Bow and Arrow?
A51294But whose description of a Spirit is this, Hylobares?
A51294But why do you then attribute such a Prescience to God as is involved in such dangerous Inconveniences?
A51294But why do you think so, Hylobares?
A51294But why of folly?
A51294But why take you this to be the lesser Difficulty, Philotheus?
A51294But ▪ what instances have you of the over- severe method, Euistor?
A51294But, I pray you, where did he receive these Keys, Philotheus?
A51294Can any Religion be more horrid or blasphemous then this?
A51294Can any ● hing ● eem more barbarous then this?
A51294Can there be any thing possibly parallel to this, Cuphophron, amongst our Civilized Europaeans?
A51294Can you be surrounded by all this, and yet be no- where?
A51294Can you then miss of the true Notion of a Spirit?
A51294Cuphophron''s: how will you rescue me, Hylobares?
A51294Did not I tell you so, Philopolis?
A51294Did not I tell you so, Philotheus?
A51294Did not he begin thus, O Sophron?
A51294Did you not say even now, that what- ever has no Extension or Amplitude is nothing?
A51294Do not you observe, Euistor, how studiously Hylobares has play''d the Piper all this time?
A51294Do they talk or discourse with one another?
A51294Do you not hear the pleasant Notes of the Birds both in the Garden and on the Bowre?
A51294Do you not see, Sophron, that you are worse s ● ar''d then hurt?
A51294Do you not yet see, Hylobares, how weak an Assertion that of Des- Carte ● is, That Extension and Matter are reciprocall?
A51294Do you or any else either here or under the Line at mid- day or mid- night feel any such mighty Pressure as this Hypothesis inferrs?
A51294Does not that Line from the top of the Axis to the Peripherie of the Basis necessarily describe a Conicum in one Circumvolution?
A51294Does not this occurr often enough in History, Euistor?
A51294Does not this, O Sophron, subvert utterly all the belief of Providence in the world?
A51294Else how could any creatures live in the Air or Water?
A51294Every man can doe that that can compare two things or two Idea''s one with the other: For if he do not think of them at once, how can he compare them?
A51294For do not these discover some malignancy in the Principles of the World, inconsistent with so lovely and benign an Authour as we seek after?
A51294For how can an extended Substance be indivisible or indiscerpible?
A51294For how can that which is some- where, as Matter and Motion are, reach that which is no- where?
A51294For how can the Wicked escape Punishment, when Wickedness it self is one of the greatest Penalties?
A51294For how do you know but all that which you phansie behinde, had been too much to receive at once?
A51294For if it be real, what will not they be able to undergoe?
A51294For if she cast her eye upon them, why does she not either reform them, or confound them and destroy them?
A51294For what can give any stop to this but God''s Iustice, which is a branch or mode of his Goodness?
A51294For what has God given us severall Faculties for, but to employ them to the emprovement of our own good?
A51294For what is Wrath, but Self- love edged and strengthned for the fending off the assaults of evil?
A51294For why does not that invisible Power that invigilates over all things prevent such sad Accidents?
A51294For why should blind Necessity doe more in this kind then fluctuating Chance?
A51294For why should mankinde complain of this Decree of God and Nature, which is so necessary and just?
A51294For, as I was intimating before, which of these two is the more deplorable state, to be a Fool by Fate or upon choice?
A51294Had not you better resume your Province, Hylobares, and assault him your self?
A51294Have I so?
A51294He that beholds all from an high Knows better what to doe then I. I''m not mine own: should I repine If he dispose of what''s not mine?
A51294How becomingly does Philopolis exercise his office, and seasonably commit the Opponent with the Respondent, like a long- practised Moderatour?
A51294How came then the Americans not to lay hold on this opportunity?
A51294How can it then be that particular possible Extensum which the Cylinder is actually?
A51294How can they come at it, or it at them?
A51294How could an arm of mere Air or Aether pull at another man''s hand or arm, but it would easily part in the pulling?
A51294How do you know but that it is as good for the Universe, computing all respects, if it be not better?
A51294How does that appear, Philotheus?
A51294How long of us, Philotheus?
A51294How madly does Cuphophron''s phancy rove?
A51294How merrily- conceited is Cuphophron, that can thus play with a Feather?
A51294How sublimely witty is Euistor with one single Glass?
A51294How then can this power be exerted on the Body to move it, unless the Soul be essentially present to the Body to exert it upon it?
A51294How then comes it to pass that you, being of so Philosophicall a Genius, should miss of the Pre- existence of the Soul?
A51294How therefore can they hold together?
A51294How vastly distant then are those little fix''d Stars that shew but as scattered Pin- dust in a frosty night?
A51294How would their Faith be tried, if all things here below had been carried on in Peace and Righteousness and in the Fear of God?
A51294How, Philotheus?
A51294I appeal to your own sense, Hylobares, would that look handsomely?
A51294I pray you deal freely and ingenuously, Hylobares, are you really more pinched then before?
A51294I pray you what Story is that, Euistor?
A51294I pray you what is it that pleases you so much, Philotheus?
A51294I pray you what is it, Philotheus?
A51294I pray you what is that, Sophron?
A51294I pray you what may be the reason of it?
A51294I pray you whose Lines are they, Hylobares?
A51294I pray you, Bathynous, what kind of Dream was it?
A51294I pray you, Cuphophron, is Philotheus and the rest of his Company come?
A51294I pray you, what is that Scruple, Hylobares?
A51294I pray you, what think you of that, Cuphophron?
A51294I pray, what are those, Hylobares?
A51294I prithee, Euistor, what is it?
A51294In the name of God, what do you mean, Hylobares, to answer so phantastically in so serious a cause?
A51294In this last Point, Hylobares?
A51294In what Extensum therefore is ● ● scribed?
A51294In what capacity of Salvation were they then, O Sophron, for some thousands of years together, who yet are certainly of a lapsed race?
A51294In what immense removes are they one beyond another?
A51294In what therefore does the one describe, suppose, a circular Line, the other a Conicum?
A51294In what, Hylobares?
A51294Is it not better being in this cool Arbour?
A51294Is it not infinitely incredible, Philotheus, if not impossible, that some thousands of Spirits may dance or march on a Needle''s point at once?
A51294Is it not necessary that that part of the representation you made of Eternity be either a Perfection, or an Imperfection, or a thing of Indifferency?
A51294Is it not so, Eui ● ● or?
A51294Is it not the perfection of Knowledge to know things as they are in their own nature?
A51294Is it the Authority of the Catholick Church?
A51294Is it then united to the inside of the Body, Cuphophron, or to the outside?
A51294Is not that Bravery which Americus Vesputius records in his Voiage to the New- found- world very ghastly tragicall?
A51294Is not their Soul mere Mechanicall motion, according to that admirable Philosopher?
A51294Is not this something inhospitall for us all to fall upon Cuphophron thus in his own Arbour at once?
A51294Is then the power of moving the Body thus by her Will in the Soul, or out of the Soul?
A51294Is this the utmost of your Difficulty, Hylobares?
A51294Is this your Sagacity or deep Melancholy, Bathynous, that makes you surmize such Plots against the Deity?
A51294Is your Scepticism in this point so powerfull as still to be able to bear up against them?
A51294It must be acknowledged; what then?
A51294Leave we nothing to our selves, Save a Voice; what need we else?
A51294Matter in potentia?
A51294Must not then some diviner Principle be at the bottom, that thus cancells the Mechanicall Laws for the common good?
A51294Of the Bridegroom his not lying with his own Bride the first night, but some other of the like quality?
A51294Or can you compare your distinct Selfship with this immense compass, and yet not conceive your self surrounded?
A51294Or thus, Cuphophron, Does not the So ● l move the Body?
A51294Or thus: If this multitude of Divine Atoms be God, be they interspersed amongst all the matter of the World?
A51294Or what more outrageous specimen of Madness, then the killing and slaying for the Non- belief of such things?
A51294Shame take you, Hylobares, have you hit on that piece of Waggery once again?
A51294Si tibi non annis corpus jam marcet?
A51294Spectatum admissi risum teneatis, ami ● i?
A51294Tell me therefore, Hylobares, why do you think that the World was not created till about six thousand years agoe?
A51294That God is so the Essence and Substance of all things, that they are but as dependent Accidents of him?
A51294That is not much strained, C ● phophron; but what then?
A51294That it is better for them is plain according to the opinion of all Metaphysicians: but how is it better for the Universe, Philotheus?
A51294That''s a Paradox indeed: why so, I pray you, Hylobares?
A51294That''s a very odd thing of the men of Arcladam, Euistor: I pray you, what is it?
A51294The contrivance of the Earth into Hills and Springs and Rivers, into Quarries of Stone and Metall: is not all this for the best?
A51294There''s a reason indeed, Hylobares; how can it then be the real Rendezvous of separate Souls?
A51294They having therefore no specifick cognation with the Sons of Adam, what have they to doe with that Religion that the Sons of Adam are saved by?
A51294This first was by far the more difficult Probleme of the two, and how easily has he solved it?
A51294This is the very Philosophy of the Apostle, O Philotheus, What fruit have ye then of those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A51294This is very judiciously advertised of Bathynous, is it not, Hylobares?
A51294WHat tall Instrument is this, O Cuphophron, that you have got thus unexpectedly into your Arbour?
A51294Was it a delusion of my sight?
A51294Was there not a first six thousand years of Duration from the beginning of the World, supposing it began so timely as you have described?
A51294What Envy, but Self- love grieved at the sense of its own Want, discovered and aggravated by the fulness of another''s enjoyment?
A51294What Mysterious conceits has Bathynous of what can be but a mere Vacuum at best?
A51294What Verses do you mean, Euistor?
A51294What a chearfull thing the apprehension of Truth is, that it makes Hylobares so pleasant and so witty?
A51294What a youthfull conceit has your Phancy slipt into, O Cuphophron?
A51294What are those Scruples, Hylobares?
A51294What do you mean by Capacity, Cuphophron?
A51294What do you mean?
A51294What do you understand by Self- activity in a Spirit, Hylobares?
A51294What had the Godly whereupon to employ their Wit and Abilities, if they had no enemies to grapple with?
A51294What if I should say it is onely spatium imaginarium, Hylobares?
A51294What is it that he says, Euistor?
A51294What is it that pinches you there, Hylobares?
A51294What is it then, dear Cuphophron?
A51294What is it?
A51294What is that, Hylobares?
A51294What makes the Schools then so earnest in obtruding upon us the belief, that nothing but nunc permanens is competible to the Divine Existence?
A51294What more phrantick then the figment of Transubstantiation, and of infallible Lust, Ambition, and Covetousness?
A51294What moves the Bodies of Brutes, Hylobares?
A51294What say you now, Hylobares, to Philotheus his assoiling these your last and most puzzling and confounding Difficulties about natural Evils?
A51294What say you to this, Philotheus?
A51294What then, Philotheus?
A51294What then?
A51294What therefore could Providence doe better, then to make their Species immortal by a continued Propagation and Succession?
A51294What think you of the Roman Pontif?
A51294What think you of these Instances, O Sophron?
A51294What think you of this, Cuphophron?
A51294What think you, Gentlemen?
A51294What think you, Hylobares?
A51294What wisedome is that which flows out of the Divine Life, O Bathynous?
A51294What would become of those enravishing Vertues of Humility, Meekness, Patience and Forbearance, if there were no Injuries amongst men?
A51294What would he infer from all this?
A51294What''s Plague and Prison, loss of Friends, War, Dearth, and Death that all things ends?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Hylobares?
A51294What''s that, Hylobares?
A51294What''s that?
A51294What''s the matter with Hylobares, that he raps out Greek in this unusual manner?
A51294What, do you mean to make us all Horses, to whistle us while we are a- drinking?
A51294What, do you think any harder or greater, O Sophron, then are comprised in those elegant, though impious, Verses of Lucretius?
A51294What, has all my expectation then vanished into a Dream?
A51294What?
A51294Where should it be else?
A51294Where''s now the Objects of thy Fears, Needless Sighs and fruitless Tears?
A51294Wherefore why should it be expected that Divine Providence should forthwith take vengeance of the Executioners of his own Justice?
A51294Whether do you think, O Hylobares, that this Privilege, as you call it, is really a Privilege, that is, a Perfection, of the Divine Nature, or no?
A51294Which if it were true, what great charge could be laid against Nature for making so admirable and usefull a Fabrick?
A51294Who can believe men upon their own Authority that are once deprehended in so gross and impious an Imposture?
A51294Who can imagine to the contrary?
A51294Who knows but that they may understand that mystically, as the Persians expound like passages in Mahomet''s Alcoran?
A51294Who knows, Euistor, but most of these men were Voluntiers, and had a minde to serve the Great Cham in the other World?
A51294Why do you smile, Philotheus?
A51294Why may we not then adde that which follows in Homer, — 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A51294Why not, Philotheus?
A51294Why not?
A51294Why of wit and folly, Bathynous?
A51294Why should he so, Hyloares, sith the Creation of this middle Order makes the numbers of the pure Intellectual Orders never the fewer?
A51294Why so, Cuphophron?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why, Hylobares, what conceit have you of a Spirit, that you should think it a thing impossible?
A51294Why, I prithee, Cuphophron, how many hours, or rather minutes, is it since that confusion first surprized thee?
A51294Why, Philotheus?
A51294Why, are there just Two?
A51294Why, did not your self call this Dream of Bathynous a Divine Dream, before I came to make this important use of it?
A51294Why, do you think, Bathynous, that Pythagoras or Plato ever travelled into America?
A51294Why, what remains of Difficulty, Hylobares, either touching the Natural or Moral Evils in the World?
A51294Why, what strange thing is that which follows, Euistor?
A51294Why, what''s the matter, Cuphophron?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Will you please to make a step up into the Garden?
A51294Wit and Phancy whether wilt thou goe?
A51294You abound in all manner of Civilities, Cuphophron: But do not you play on this Instrument your self?
A51294a Silver- one?
A51294and who can tell just how many there ought to be of any of those Orders; or why there must be just so many Orders of Apes or Satyrs, and no more?
A51294and yet how luckily had he hit, if he had but made use of the usual name Papa?
A51294but what do you mean, O Philotheus, by ● ● ● finactivity?
A51294can not the Omnipotence of God himself discerp a Spirit, if he has a minde to it?
A51294did not the bare Deity, as you called it, step out then into externall Action?
A51294has not Cuphophron made a very rapturous Harangue?
A51294have we any thing, Cuphophron?
A51294is it not?
A51294or did there a Star shoot obliquely as I put my head out of the Arbour?
A51294or do they keep together?
A51294or how again do these Atomes, though not interspersed, communicate Notions one with another for one Design?
A51294or how can it order the matter of those Vortices from which it is so far distant?
A51294or how can they be said to be prosperous, who have nothing succeed according to their own scope and meaning?
A51294or is it a counterfeit complaint and a piece of sportfull Drollery with Cuphophron?
A51294or what can be the motion of blind Necessity but peremptory and perpetual Fluctuation?
A51294or what do they doe?
A51294or what is it?
A51294or what will become of Memorie?
A51294quid mortem congemis ac fles?
A51294was there ever a more unfortunate Mis- hap then this?
A51294what Dungeon more noisome, horrid or dismall, then their suspicious Ignorance, and oppressing loads of surprising Grief and Melancholy?
A51294what can Mechanicall motion doe, if not produce that simple Phaenomenon of Liquidity?
A51294what is the Principle of their Union?
A51294what is the greates ● horrour that surprises you in this Custome, Euistor?
A51294what rare work could I make of it?
