A28521 | when the shell is gone, then am I wholy in Heaven* with a naked face; who will deprive and bereave me of this? |
A28521 | where is the communion of Saints; where we are but one in Christ; where Christ is onely one in us all? |
A28521 | whereby may the present Christendome be knowne? |
A28521 | who knoweth how it is with thee, whether it be true or no, that God hath illuminated thee, that he is in thee? |
A28521 | whot difference is there between her and the Turcks and other Heathens? |
A28521 | why doe I not get rid of it? |
A57656 | Againe, if the wicked shall have an end of their torments, why may you not as well thinke, that the Saints shall have an end of their joyes? |
A57656 | Againe, is not forme and matter the nature of things? |
A57656 | Againe, is there nothing that God knowe ● but what he made? |
A57656 | And Nisus, who thought every mans desire to be his god, — Sua cuique deus fit dira cupido? |
A57656 | And if light be a body, it must be every day generated and corrupted: why should not darknesse be a body too? |
A57656 | And if there had been a lake ● here before of an Asphaltick nature, how will it follow, that the combustion of Sodome was naturall? |
A57656 | And so, to what serve the Sacraments, if they doe not confirme and seale unto us the love of God in saving us? |
A57656 | And what else is this, but, with Plato, to make this world a great animal, wherof God is the soule? |
A57656 | And what say you to the circulation o ● the bloud in our bodies? |
A57656 | And why is Na ● ure rather a straight, then a circular line? |
A57656 | But is not Astrologie repugnant to Divinity, and impious, when it robs God of his honour? |
A57656 | But is not Nature a princi ● le of motion and rest? |
A57656 | But tell us how you conceive the soule to be Gods body: Hath God a body? |
A57656 | But what needs the urging of this duty, which is grounded on the principles of Nature? |
A57656 | But why, Sir, do you weep at such a sight? |
A57656 | Christ tells us, that when hee comes againe, hee will scarce find faith upon the earth; how then will the Churches great Wheele move? |
A57656 | Did not many Kings and Prophets desire to see that which you slight, and could not see it? |
A57656 | Did not the Apostles see him ascend in a cloud? |
A57656 | Doe no ● you know, that the forme actuates the Compositum, and restraines the extravagancie of the matter? |

A57656 | Doth not the matter receive the forme, and sustaine it? |
A57656 | First, how came he to be a temporall Prince? |
A57656 | Fronti nulla fides; how many are deceived by the face and hand? |
A57656 | Gregory the seventh,& c. who gave themselves to Sathan and Witchcraft? |
A57656 | How disposeth he us to be wealthy? |

A57656 | If there had been no dispute against Arius, Nestorius, Eutychus, Macedonius, and other Hereticks, how should the truth have been vindicated? |
A57656 | Is hee not said to ascend above all Heavens, and that the Heavens must containe him, till his second coming? |
A57656 | Is it not the nature of the fire? |

A57656 | Ninthly, 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? |

A57656 | Or, disposeth hee us actively? |
A57656 | Passively? |
A57656 | Secondly, in a ● old body the bloud is congealed, how ● hall it grow fluid againe without heat? |
A57656 | Shall I not strive to know God at all, because I can not know him here perfectly? |
A57656 | The Schooles will tell you, that the Angels differ specifically one from another, how then can they and the soules of men differ only numerically? |
A57656 | The 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? |
A57656 | Thirdly, what becomes of this body, when the Sun goeth downe? |
A57656 | Was Abraham, ● saac, Iacob, and other rich men in Scripture, borne under Iupiter? |
A57656 | Was Sodome and the other Cities built in that lake? |

A57656 | Was not Saint Paul caught up into the third Heaven? |
A57656 | We reade, that Zoroastres was the first witch in the world, and hee lived after the Floud; were there no spirits, I pray, till then? |
A57656 | What a skipping Angell will ignis fatuus make? |
A57656 | What a strange ● od doth your allegoricall description de ● ypher to us? |
A57656 | What 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? |
A57656 | What water can cleanse the soule, but that which flowed from our Saviours pierced heart? |
A57656 | What''s ● ecome of the famous Churches of Co ● inth, Ephesus, Laodicea, Philadelphia,& c. planted by the Apostles themselves? |
A57656 | Where then would you have had them build it? |
A57656 | Whither was it that Christ ascended? |
A57656 | Who set ● he lake on fire? |
A57656 | Why then doe you call the great Sphere the first movable? |
A57656 | Will you have reasons out of Philosophy? |
A57656 | Would you bring in againe ignorance, the supposed mother of Devotion, but indeed, the true mother of Confusion? |
A57656 | all these are absurd: Or doth it follow the body of the Sun? |
A57656 | and how can they worke without the soule? |
A57656 | and how can this operate without union to the body? |
A57656 | but is there such a strict relation between witches and spirits, that hee that denies the one, must needs deny the other? |
A57656 | he that laughs at the folly of superstitious Processions, or he that weeps out of a preposterous devotion? |
A57656 | he will not say so; then they are different bodies: but by what? |
A57656 | or how hot without the animall and vitall spirits? |
A57656 | shall we shut our eyes, that wee may not see the traps and snares ● aid in our waies? |
A57656 | that God would prosper your game, to win your neighbour ● mony, to which you have no right? |
A57656 | that is, makes he us fit to raise our owne fortunes? |
A57656 | that is, to be capable of wealth, or willing to take it, when it is profer''d us? |
A57656 | that it ● ever flamed since? |
A57656 | the forme is gone: is not then the difference in respect of the matter and accidents, which remaine in the carkasse? |
A57656 | then that tongue of Iob or Lazarus which was, must be tormented in flames, and that tongue of Dives which was, shall ● cape: is this justice? |
A50062 | 3. Who doth not loath the memory of the Gothes and Vandals for the barbarism they brought along with them? |

A65800 | And are not these differences betwixt Luthers case and mine, whom you so charitably endevour to parallel, sufficient to distinguish our dooms? |
A65800 | And 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? |
A65800 | And doth not a grief include a desire of the contrary? |
A65800 | And for souls going to Heaven by them, if they take away the pains of Purgatory, with what face can you deny it? |
A65800 | And what signifies this, but what is consequent to that? |
A65800 | And why such fierce unchristian words; Miscreant and Imp of Hell? |
A65800 | Are not all these griefs for what men can not help? |
A65800 | Are you better acquainted with human affairs? |
A65800 | Are you ignorant of the pudder at Paris about censuring Monsieur Arnaulds letters, which censure was not approved at Rome? |
A65800 | Are you not asham''d to dream of such follies in pure Spirits? |
A65800 | As in the present, what concerns it my Faith whether many or few interpret the Bull and Councill as you or I say? |
A65800 | Besides, may not all the other Altars, where the same great work is perform''d, justly complain, that you endeavour their impoverishment? |
A65800 | Besides, when would the Pope take notice of what is publisht in France or England if no body cry Fire? |
A65800 | But how many such do you cite? |
A65800 | But 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? |

A65800 | Is not this a gallant attempt? |
A65800 | Is there not regularly in all Dioceses some Censor Librorum expresly appointed? |
A65800 | Let 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? |
A65800 | Must it hold till by reason they see a necessary connexion with the deliver''d Faith? |
A65800 | My next question is, whether if there be no intrinsecal change, there can be any addition intrinsecally made? |
A65800 | Never of an ambitious Courtier, that took a grief and dy''d upon a disgrace offer''d him from his Prince? |
A65800 | Nor onely these, but indeed, who is there of any note that will say a Council is Infallilible unless it proceed Conciliariter? |
A65800 | Now how do you prove what you say is to the purpose? |
A65800 | O how gay a thing it is to speak words and not understand them? |
A65800 | O what want had Solomon of such a Ghostly Father? |
A65800 | Or, secondly, That It is Defin''d either in the Bull or Council? |

A65800 | Qui est hic? |
A65800 | Secondly, I ask you whether without counsel or with it? |
A65800 | Sweet Sir, will this serve think you to prove your Adversary a Puny, and your self a great Clerk? |
A65800 | That it shall be one never reveal''d by God, and yet exprest by the very words in which God reveal''d his? |
A65800 | Then you demand who ever believ''d, our Souls in this life are truly and really our Bodies, and our Bodies our Souls? |
A65800 | Think but how contrary''t is to mans Nature, and the profession of the Church, to forbid Learning? |
A65800 | This being so laid out, what have you to except why the pleasantest life is not the fittest to attain Heaven? |
A65800 | We have heard constantly( say you) that Souls are deliver''d out of Purgatory by these powerfull helps before the day of Judgment? |
A65800 | We whose Logick tends to Demonstration, agree that the Subject is not affirm''d, but is that of which the Predicate is affirm''d? |
A65800 | Were men doubtfull of their Faith, before he and his fellows in iniquity set themselves to snarl at it? |
A65800 | What a strange boldness is this? |
A65800 | What an inconsiderate manner of arguing is this? |
A65800 | What do you mean? |
A65800 | What may be your Arms fit for so great an Atchievment? |
A65800 | When you say then he sufferd with an invincible courage, do you mean of both parts, or onely of the rational? |
A65800 | Wherein consists then my Paganism? |
A65800 | Why then are you so touchy, as if there could not be abuses in these things? |
A65800 | Will 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? |
A65800 | Will you have me give you an Instance? |
A65800 | With which person suit these words best? |
A65800 | Yet you very heartily beg to know, why the damned Souls do not repent themselves at the day of Judgment, and become Saints? |
A65800 | You ask, if Charity brings a Soul immediately to Bliss: What then does your Adversary think of Lumen Gloriae? |
A65800 | You ask, who ever fancy''d such an Identity betwixt the Body and Soul? |
A65800 | You promist me formerly the sweet style of Love- Letters; but anon very furiously and unkindly call me Epicurean, Pagan, Heathen, and what not? |
A65800 | You 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? |
A65800 | and confound all Sciences into a Chaos of probability? |
A65800 | and where is my Paganism? |
A65800 | and, however, so convenient in all cases? |
A65800 | are they all therefore presently to be condemn''d as faithless? |
A65800 | can not your self demonstrate there''s a God? |
A65800 | do not your Doctors generally agree that somthing in Religion is demonstrable? |
A65800 | do 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? |
A65800 | from endeavouring to come to Demonstration as near as we can? |
A65800 | has he done his work? |
A65800 | has 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? |
A65800 | not to distinguish betwixt substance and an Accident? |
A65800 | or can it ever become an Article of faith which the whole Church professes is but an Opinion now? |
A65800 | or in The ● logy, or speaking of God? |
A65800 | or rather will not the Reader judge that the differences of your performance will transpose those appellations? |
A65800 | or that for a long time they preacht it as a probable truth? |
A65800 | or, which perhaps you will think more like our case, instead of the term defin''d suppose the definition? |
A65800 | or, without engaging at all into the degree of its assuredness? |
A65800 | so that this being pass''d must stay in some even to the day of Judgment by your own explication? |
A65800 | that of the dead, or of the Priest? |
A65800 | to cut off all hopes of Certainty? |
A65800 | to hinder men from searching the true Meaning of Gods word? |
A65800 | to ten? |
A65800 | to wit, that it doth not follow out of this Doctrin of St. Thomas that there is no Errour in Angels? |
A65800 | why 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? |
A93091 | 1 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? |
A93091 | 1 What is all this to the purpose, what light or derection a Church need to receive? |
A93091 | 10. what fault can be found with the substance of what either Robinson or our selves speake, if our meaning, and his were but charitably taken? |
A93091 | 11. such as had not received the Covenant of grace? |
A93091 | 17. were not Apostles given to the Church for the edifying of the body of Christ,& c. as well as other Officers? |
A93091 | 19. and if gone out, how are they within? |
A93091 | 19. saying they went out? |
A93091 | 2 If Christ gave this power to the community, was it from the beginning of the Church, or tooke it effect after the Church was planted? |
A93091 | 29, 30? |
A93091 | 3 Did Abraham, Lot, Melchisedeck, and such family Churches, walk against grounds of morality and nature, that did not so combine? |
A93091 | 3 Though much people were added to the Lord, yet doth it follow they were more then could meet in one Congregation? |
A93091 | 3 Yea further, what if this Catholick Church be in some respects of reason and order of nature also the first Church, and particular Churches, ortae? |
A93091 | 9. and therefore when he requires confession of sins, was it without remorse or sorrow for it? |
A93091 | And if in Cities, or some such great Townes that might have been done, yet how was it possible for so many scattered Christians all over the Countrey? |
A93091 | And is it now come to this passe, that these who were in a manner one can not live together in the same kingdome? |
A93091 | And is not all this to joyne themselves to the visible instituted Church before they were circumcised? |
A93091 | And is not this fulfilled in these times? |
A93091 | And therefore how can a man be visibly a member of the whole, and belong to no part thereof? |
A93091 | And was this bare words to put off the Prelaticall petition? |
A93091 | And what is that Incense, and pure offering, but the pure prayers, and worship of God that should be in all Gentile Churches under the Gospell? |
A93091 | And what is the ground of all this? |
A93091 | And what should we here say? |
A93091 | And what would men have us doe in such a case? |
A93091 | And why not so here in this case? |
A93091 | Are the members of particular Churches firstly of the Catholick Church; and is it not so here? |
A93091 | Are they not Brethren who differ from us? |
A93091 | As for Philip and Ananias if they baptized, did they baptize as private men, or as Church Officers? |
A93091 | Ask( saith he) to what end, and to what first principall subject hath the Lord given reason, and the faculty to discourse? |
A93091 | Bee it so that in Corinth Paul baptized not many but by others, yet first we demand, By whom did Paul and the Apostles baptize? |
A93091 | Besides, if such an assembly of many Churches may administer Seales, why may not any other assembly of Church members or Ministers doe the sam ●? |
A93091 | But doth this argue one politicall body consisting of all these? |
A93091 | But is there no middle way wherein according to God these two might meet? |
A93091 | But we demand first, What was it to avouch the God of Abrabam to be his God? |
A93091 | But what doe we thus to take upon us, and let loose our Pen so far? |
A93091 | But what is the ground of all this? |
A93091 | But what is this to what ought to bee in an orderly way whereof wee speake? |
A93091 | But what? |
A93091 | Can any bee admitted into a Church, that whole Church being ignorant thereof? |
A93091 | Did not the hearts of men generally faile them? |
A93091 | Did the Lord accept the sacrifice of the Church constituted by Jeroboam? |
A93091 | For what is it to be the flock, people, or sheep of God, but to be the Church of God? |
A93091 | For what is more ordinary in all true Churches, then for people, first to chuse their Ministers,& then to receive the seals at their hands? |
A93091 | For where can they shew any such command? |
A93091 | For where shall we finde a people joyning together with godly Pastors, but in such particular Assemblies? |
A93091 | From such as have a forme of godlinesse and deny the power of it, turne away; if bare profession were sufficient, why should Timothy turne from them? |
A93091 | God forbid, have wee ventured thus farre, and shall wee not presume a little further? |
A93091 | God hath set, saith he, in the Church not onely Apostles, or Prophets, or tongues,& c. but all these; are all Apostles? |
A93091 | How came Israel to be one Nationall church, but by a National covenant? |
A93091 | How comes it then to passe the breach is growne so great? |
A93091 | If all the Countries of England should elect or call a Lord Major for London, bee they never so many and wise, it is a meere nullity, and why? |
A93091 | If his word bee over- zealous to say it is a presumptuous sin to doe otherwise, what is that to us? |
A93091 | If such businesses must bee determined on the Lords day? |
A93091 | If the Pastor derive all his authority from the Church, when the Church hath set him aside, what right hath he to administer among that people? |
A93091 | If the second, what Officers were they? |
A93091 | Is foederall holinesse first the priviledge of the Catholick Church? |
A93091 | Is it naturall or voluntary? |
A93091 | Is it to Peter, John,& c. as to the first subject, and to them as for their good? |
A93091 | Lastly, by this Doctrine how shall the Church come by Officers, when shee hath none to goe before her in choosing for her? |
A93091 | Let a man bring himselfe, and never so godly desires, yet if hee will joyne in a knowne corrupt service, will his godly desires excuse him? |
A93091 | Many then thought, it is an evill time, the prudent shall hold their peace, and might wee not say, this is not our resting place? |
A93091 | Must wee study some distinctions to salve our Consciences in complying with so manifold corruptions in Gods Worship? |
A93091 | Nay why have they not told them, they were bound to attend upon God in hearing their Sir John read at home? |
A93091 | Now the Text saith, in respect of the first, That they were pricked to the heart, and cryed out Men, and Brethren what shall wee doe? |
A93091 | Now what comfort can anygodly conscience have to joyn in, or conform unto such a form of Worship as this is? |
A93091 | Popish episcopall enemies and haters of all godlinesse and reformation, cleave together in one Church of Christ, with the Saints of God? |
A93091 | Say not, what calling have these thus to admonish and censure us? |
A93091 | Secondly, If it bee unlawfull by divine institution, may not evill consequences bee added, and if both hold, are not our reasons the more strong? |
A93091 | Secondly, We deny not but such have a right to be in the particular Church, and so to baptisme and all ordinances? |
A93091 | Secondly, Where must they professe this faith, and avouch this God? |
A93091 | Secondly, what faith? |
A93091 | Sixtly, This hath not beene beleeved in the Church? |
A93091 | The Church as it is taken for them that exercise spirituall functions hath a certaine power,& c. but where is the Church so taken? |
A93091 | The fatherly ● are of our God in feeding and cloathing so many in a Wildernesse, giving such healthfulnesse and great increase of posterity? |
A93091 | To the second, with what profession( charity, according to rule) is to rest satisfied? |
A93091 | True, but where? |
A93091 | Was it in any place where they dwelt, and so might they circumcise themselves? |
A93091 | Was it not to subject himselfe to all the Statutes, Commandements, and judgements of God in his Church to walke in them? |
A93091 | Was there not the same Law for the stranger, and the home- borne? |
A93091 | We answer, if so, then why should not the Provinciall and Nationall Churches by this reason assume all to themselves from the Classis? |
A93091 | What authority hath hee to Minister to any Church, if they will refuse him? |
A93091 | What doth this argument conclude? |
A93091 | What needeth then such a Reply? |
A93091 | What should hinder, if the whole nation would bee willing, to recover themselves into Churches? |
A93091 | What then becomes of the Church when the Minister is dead? |
A93091 | What will not all our vowes, covenants and solemne Oaths binde us together? |
A93091 | Whereby some no doubt might be gained, and what a blessed worke were that? |
A93091 | Which of them doth Christ designe, but whom the Church freely choose? |
A93091 | Whose heart bleeds not to see Gods flock scattered, and needlesse rents made? |
A93091 | Why is this Church of this Classis not of another but by combination? |
A93091 | alasse, how is it now so wide and deep, that at the first was presented to the world so small, or scarce any at all? |
A93091 | and so if an orthodox professor will frowardly forsake all Churches and live alone, or among the heathen, how is hee within? |
A93091 | and then to this or that person, family, City? |
A93091 | are all Prophets,& c? |
A93091 | are we not in the high- way to devoure each other, and expose all to ruine? |
A93091 | doe they not stand or fall to their own Master, and how shall wee reject or judge them? |
A93091 | doe wee not hope to live in heaven together, and shall wee stand at such distances here? |
A93091 | for the offence of one is common to all: As also upon this ground, why should not the Classis admit all the members of every Congregation under them? |
A93091 | hast 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? |
A93091 | hath ● ot the Lord received them? |
A93091 | have we not our ignorances and frailties? |
A93091 | is the cause past helpe and remedy? |
A93091 | must Moab, Ammon, Edom, Tyre, Sydon, Judea,& c. being so contiguous in near vicinity to each other, combine in one government? |
A93091 | must not this bee done amongst, and before the people of God in his visible Church? |
A93091 | must shee loose her right, or take whom others will choose for her, and impose upon her? |
A93091 | or did the Author speake without ground at adventures? |
A93091 | or if so, should not this perswade us to bee of one minde in the Lord? |
A93091 | or should wee forsake the publique Assemblies, and joyne together in private separated Churches? |
A93091 | or should wee live without Gods ordinances, because wee could not partake in the corrupt administration thereof? |
A93091 | or want of naturall affections to our deare Countrey, or nearest relations? |
A93091 | or who shall censure them for refusing, by any rule of Christ? |
A93091 | or withdraw from them that use them? |
A93091 | ordinary or extraordinary? |
A93091 | shall we lose the blessing of peace- makers? |
A93091 | shall wee by such differences, thus gratifie Satan, Jesuites, Prelates,& c. and strengthen their hands by weakening our owne? |
A93091 | shall wee thus suffer peace to goe from us, and not follow and pursue it? |
A93091 | was it because debito and de jure onely, they should be so? |
A93091 | wee suppose none would deny it, why then should not visible beleevers require, and take up this part of the grant, as well as the seale of it? |
A93091 | were it Christian liberty, or dangerous licenciousnesse to leave such a man to his owne counsels, and not meddle with him? |
A93091 | what is that to the faithfull? |
A93091 | what shall wee say of the Worke it selfe of the kingdome of Christ? |
A93091 | what though the Minister offer the service? |
A93091 | what, is there no consolation in Christ, no comfort of love, no fellowship of the spirit? |
A93091 | when many Ministers and people( well thought of by the best) were carried away shamefully with these things? |
A93091 | when many weake Christians were staggering and wavering and looking at the judgement and practise of their guides, ready to stand or fall with them? |
A93091 | when the tyranny of the Prelates raged in the pressing of the booke, and their other humane inventions? |
A93091 | when will it once bee? |
A93091 | wilt thou not be made cleane? |
A93091 | yea where should they professe their faith, but in the visible Churches, as the Proselytes of old did? |
A38026 | 1 Quantum differunt Lex& Evangelium? |
A38026 | 1, 2,& c? |
A38026 | 2 Quis enim Philosophorum sacrificare compellit? |
A38026 | 2. Who were the Instruments of it? |
A38026 | 24. and so in the 10 th and 11 th Chapters of Ez ● kiel? |
A38026 | 72. and what were these Promisessor, but to be credited and relied upon? |

A38026 | And Christ Jesus himself, being in Heaven, spake to Saul thence by a Voice, saying, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A38026 | And as for Gog and Magog, who were to appear soon after Satans being loosed, where are they at this time? |
A38026 | And can we think that God would not require this at his hand? |
A38026 | And can you conceive any thing that hindred this? |
A38026 | And even among the Reformed Churches what Divisions and Dissentions, what unchristian Feuds and Animosities are there? |
A38026 | And how can the disconsolate Parents bear this and the rest of their Sorrows? |
A38026 | And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how shall then his Kingdom stand? |
A38026 | And if they be really distinct, who can have the confidence to say they are the same? |
A38026 | And in another place, 1 Do you not see, saith he, that the more numerous the Punishers are, the more the number of others increases? |
A38026 | And in the beginning of our REFORMATION in this Land, what strange Things did a Resolute and Couragious King bring to pass? |

A38026 | And is not this applicable to the present Case? |
A38026 | And of the sixth Part, how few of those that outwardly make Profession of Christ have true Faith, and deserve the Name of Christians? |
A38026 | And shall we think that as to Religion only there is a Decay? |
A38026 | And so that Father grants, in his Answer to that Demand, What Tree was it of which Adam eat the Fruit? |
A38026 | And what is more usual in Sacted Sc ● ipture than to give the name of the thing signified or represented to that which represents the thing? |
A38026 | And what should it be but this, that Christ who was made of a Woman, should be incompassed and shut up by her in her Virgin- Womb? |
A38026 | And what were the Men that these illiterate Persons opposed? |
A38026 | And what were the Persons who were Enemies to Christ and his Followers? |
A38026 | Are not Faith and Obedience absolutely requir''d antecedently to our enjoying the Benefits and Privileges of the New Covenant that are offer''d to us? |
A38026 | As if they had said, Gentlemen, what is this that you require of us? |
A38026 | Being thus qualified, what is there too hard for them to accomplish? |
A38026 | But by what means was this done? |
A38026 | But can any impartial Man perswade himself that all this amounts to the Fulness of the Iews which the Apostle here speaks of? |
A38026 | But did not the murmuring Israelites call to mind the flesh- pots they sat by when they were in Egypt? |
A38026 | But here it will be asked, May Christians inflict severer Punishments than the Iewish Law prescribed? |
A38026 | But here it will be asked, where hath God formally abr ● gated the Ceremonial Law of the Jews? |
A38026 | But how could this be if the Lamps were put out in the morning? |
A38026 | But how is Euphrates deriv''d from Perah? |
A38026 | But how is this to be understood? |
A38026 | But if the altering the course of Nature be contain''d in the divine Decrees, as most sure it is, then what will become of his Argument? |
A38026 | But shall we take the meaning of Scripture from Them from whom God hath taken away for so many Ages all Understanding and Knowledg? |
A38026 | But what great matter is this? |
A38026 | But what have the Objectors gain''d by it? |
A38026 | But what was this Expiation which was made by the Mosaick Sacrifices? |
A38026 | But what were they to do here? |
A38026 | But who can think this to be a satisfactory account of the matter? |
A38026 | But who knows not that the Mosaick History is silent as to several things of the like nature, yea of an higher i ● portance? |
A38026 | Can any thing be plainer than this? |
A38026 | Can there be any Reason given why God should not prosper Religion as well as Arts? |
A38026 | Can there be any reason then to think that these Persons were not competent Judges, as well as others, of these Matters? |
A38026 | Can we imagine, or suppose, that the Vengeance of God, which is threatened against Seducers, and False Teachers, reaches not to him? |
A38026 | Can we think that all perish''d who were at any time guilty of these? |
A38026 | Can we think that he would not take care to see this Rest from all labour observ''d? |
A38026 | Christ succeeds Moses, the Gospel follows the Law: but quo jure? |
A38026 | Did God himself openly declare against the Idolatry of the Gentiles, and yet would he by these Images of Pagan Invention nurse it up? |

A38026 | How little was there of it heretofore, among those who ought to have had a large Stock of it? |
A38026 | How narrow is its Kingdom? |
A38026 | How shameful will it be that so admirable a Religion should produce nothing but empty Shews and Formalities, fair Words and goodly Appearances? |
A38026 | How then can any Man have the confidence to say that Prayer is a New Testament Precept only? |
A38026 | How then can he be said to come, and Reign on Earth, after he hath delivered up the Kingdom? |
A38026 | How then shall we credit History and Tradition, i. e. the Church''s delivering these things to us? |
A38026 | How then was the Loving of Enemies a Duty under the Law? |

A38026 | In the two first it points at particular Persons, and signi ● ies a pure Virgin, not known by Man: Why should we not think it doth so in the third? |

A38026 | Is not this playing with Holy Things? |
A38026 | Is our Religion the best? |
A38026 | It is a mighty Controversy among some Writers, whether Christ kept the Passover on the same day the Iews did, or the day before? |
A38026 | It may be asked,( as it is a question among Writers) whether Sacrifices were prescribed before or after the Fall of Adam? |
A38026 | It was not criminal in him to do so: Why then was it in this poor Woman? |
A38026 | Next then, it is to be demanded whether Christ eat the Passover on the same night with the Iews? |
A38026 | Now then, if all Israel shall be saved, I demand when this was fulfilled? |
A38026 | Of how much s ● rer Punishment shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under- foot the Son of God? |

A38026 | or what profit is there of Circumcision? |
A38026 | that God''s Worship was borrow''d by God himself from the Idolatrous Gentiles? |

A38026 | where are all these? |
A38026 | whether the Priesthood at first resided altogether in the First- born? |
A38026 | why are not we so too? |
A38026 | — Who hath required this at your hand? |
A51294 | A Cure, Philopolis? |
A51294 | A fine thing to play with, Hylobares; what then? |
A51294 | A goodly sight: but what of all this? |
A51294 | Again, Cuphophron, is the Soul united to the Body by its Essence, or by some essential Attribute of the Soul? |
A51294 | And I pray you how much better is this then the Pagans sacrificing of men to Diana Taurica? |
A51294 | And are not all things Toies and Fools- baubles and the pleasures of Children or Beasts, excepting what is truly Moral and Intellectual? |
A51294 | And 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? |
A51294 | And by what Arguments, I beseech you, does he pretend to inferr so impious a Conclusion? |
A51294 | And do not you, Hylobares, hold the Soul of man to be an Incorporeal indiscerpible Substance, a Spirit? |
A51294 | And have you not as distinct a Notion of every one of these Attributes as of the other? |
A51294 | And how do you know, Hylobares, but that other would be so likewise? |
A51294 | And if the Philosophers themselves be such fools, what are the Plebeians? |
A51294 | And if the one be Gold, I pray you what is the other? |
A51294 | And indeed where do they not rule them? |
A51294 | And that in one instant of time they can fly from one Pole of the world to the other? |
A51294 | And 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? |
A51294 | And what is the gaudiness of Fools Coats but the gallantry of these Wits, though not altogether so authentickly in fashion? |
A51294 | And what so good wisedome, as to contrive things for the highest enjoyment of all? |
A51294 | And what think you of Land and Sea, whenas all might have been a Quagmire? |
A51294 | And who knows but a very lucky one? |
A51294 | And who knows but he that is born a natural Fool, if he had had natural Wit, would have become an arrant Knave? |
A51294 | And why do men rule the women, but upon account of more Strength or more Wisedome? |
A51294 | And why not the Sea too, Bathynous? |
A51294 | And why not, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | And will History acquit the civilized World of this piece of Barbarity, Euistor? |
A51294 | And, lastly, what is Lust, but Self- love seeking its own high delight and satisfaction in the use of Venery? |
A51294 | Answer, Cuphophron: why do you gape and stare, and scratch your head where it itches not? |
A51294 | Are then the Opinions of God''s being no- where and of his being every- where alike conducive to Vertue and Piety? |
A51294 | Are there any more Scruples behinde touching Divine Providence, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Are these the same Arguments, Hylobares, that you intended to invade me withall? |
A51294 | Are you not throughly satisfied hitherto, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Besides, why is this to be charged upon Providence, that there are so few? |
A51294 | But I ask you, does not the Rational Soul by the power of its Will move the Body? |
A51294 | But I pray do you tell me, Cuphrophron, what is Rest? |
A51294 | But I pray you tell me, Philotheus, did any of the old Fathers of the Church dream any such Dream as this? |
A51294 | But I pray you, Cuphophron, who is that Hylobares? |
A51294 | But admit the necessity of dying, what necessity or conveniency of the frequentness of Diseases? |
A51294 | But are you sure, Hylobares, that this were the most perfect way that Nature could pitch upon? |
A51294 | But can not you also think of two things at once, O Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But did I not preadvertise you, that no humane Authority has any right of being believed when they propound Contradictions? |
A51294 | But did you not observe, Hylobares, how I removed Sympathy from the Capacity of Matter? |
A51294 | But do Thunderbolts conduce any thing to that, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But dost thou think thus to drown our sense of solid Reason by the rapid stream or torrent of thy turgid Eloquence? |
A51294 | But have you no other Argument for it, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But how can that which is immovable, O Sophron, be the Genus of those things that are movable? |
A51294 | But how do you know, Hylobares, that there is such an infinite number of Earths? |
A51294 | But how does this Truth consort with his Goodness, whenas it declares to us that the World has continued but about these six thousand years? |
A51294 | But how shall we be so well assured of the Existence of a Spirit, while the comprehension of its Nature is taken for desperate? |
A51294 | But how shall we redeem our Imagination from this Captivity into such sordid conceits? |
A51294 | But if he doe not thus, it is a sign his heart is not clean, and therefore why should he grumble that he is punished? |
A51294 | But if it imply no Contradiction, what hinders but we may attribute it to him? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But in that he has made it much larger and sooner, to what leading Attribute in God is that to be imputed, O Sophron? |
A51294 | But in the mean time why might not Man have been made a pure Intelligence at first? |
A51294 | But is it found Finite, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But is it not very ridiculous in the Virginians, to cut away half of their upper and lower Beards, and leave the other half behind? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But is not this still a great disparagement to the Bride? |
A51294 | But is there not something in the following Verses about Childrens Rattles? |
A51294 | But is there nothing observable touching their Opinions of the other State, in order to which they may undergo these Hardships? |
A51294 | But it seems necessary to attribute it to him: else how can he manage the affairs of the World? |
A51294 | But suppose they be Atheists, how many thousands are there of such kinde of Cattel in the most civilized parts of Europe? |
A51294 | But the painting of their Skins with Serpents and ugly Beasts, as the Virginians are said to doe, how vilely must that needs look? |
A51294 | But to whom were they sacrificed, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But well, what of all this, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But what are the Quere''s you would propose touching the Kingdome of God, O Philopolis? |
A51294 | But what does this Arrow aim at? |
A51294 | But what have you to gratifie the Ear, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But what is that to me, if I do not? |
A51294 | But what is there to gratifie the Touch, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But what is this Story of a Bull to that of the Cow the Brammans speak of? |
A51294 | But what makes you attribute Disunity to Matter rather then firm Union of parts, especially you attributing Self- inactivity thereto? |
A51294 | But what more then ordinary mischief came to the Inhabitants? |
A51294 | But what needs any such supposition, O Sophron? |
A51294 | But what shall we think of the Tartars and Maldives cutting off all their Hair of the upper Lip? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But what then, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But what think you of the Priest of Calecut, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But what think you of the whole Body, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But what use, could you make of the Silver Key, when that Divine Personage explained nothing of it to you? |
A51294 | But when a Phancy is once engrafted in the Minde, how shall one get it out? |
A51294 | But where find you any such examples in the West- Indies, Euistor? |
A51294 | But where is then the Soul? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But whose description of a Spirit is this, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But why do you then attribute such a Prescience to God as is involved in such dangerous Inconveniences? |
A51294 | But why do you think so, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But why of folly? |
A51294 | But why take you this to be the lesser Difficulty, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But ▪ what instances have you of the over- severe method, Euistor? |
A51294 | But, I pray you, where did he receive these Keys, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Can any Religion be more horrid or blasphemous then this? |
A51294 | Can any ● hing ● eem more barbarous then this? |
A51294 | Can there be any thing possibly parallel to this, Cuphophron, amongst our Civilized Europaeans? |
A51294 | Can you be surrounded by all this, and yet be no- where? |
A51294 | Can you then miss of the true Notion of a Spirit? |
A51294 | Cuphophron''s: how will you rescue me, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Did not I tell you so, Philopolis? |
A51294 | Did not I tell you so, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Did not he begin thus, O Sophron? |
A51294 | Did you not say even now, that what- ever has no Extension or Amplitude is nothing? |
A51294 | Do not you observe, Euistor, how studiously Hylobares has play''d the Piper all this time? |
A51294 | Do they talk or discourse with one another? |
A51294 | Do you not hear the pleasant Notes of the Birds both in the Garden and on the Bowre? |
A51294 | Do you not see, Sophron, that you are worse s ● ar''d then hurt? |
A51294 | Do you not yet see, Hylobares, how weak an Assertion that of Des- Carte ● is, That Extension and Matter are reciprocall? |
A51294 | Do 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? |
A51294 | Does not that Line from the top of the Axis to the Peripherie of the Basis necessarily describe a Conicum in one Circumvolution? |
A51294 | Does not this occurr often enough in History, Euistor? |
A51294 | Does not this, O Sophron, subvert utterly all the belief of Providence in the world? |
A51294 | Else how could any creatures live in the Air or Water? |
A51294 | Every 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? |
A51294 | For do not these discover some malignancy in the Principles of the World, inconsistent with so lovely and benign an Authour as we seek after? |
A51294 | For how can an extended Substance be indivisible or indiscerpible? |
A51294 | For how can that which is some- where, as Matter and Motion are, reach that which is no- where? |
A51294 | For how can the Wicked escape Punishment, when Wickedness it self is one of the greatest Penalties? |
A51294 | For how do you know but all that which you phansie behinde, had been too much to receive at once? |
A51294 | For if it be real, what will not they be able to undergoe? |
A51294 | For if she cast her eye upon them, why does she not either reform them, or confound them and destroy them? |
A51294 | For what can give any stop to this but God''s Iustice, which is a branch or mode of his Goodness? |
A51294 | For what has God given us severall Faculties for, but to employ them to the emprovement of our own good? |
A51294 | For what is Wrath, but Self- love edged and strengthned for the fending off the assaults of evil? |
A51294 | For why does not that invisible Power that invigilates over all things prevent such sad Accidents? |
A51294 | For why should blind Necessity doe more in this kind then fluctuating Chance? |
A51294 | For why should mankinde complain of this Decree of God and Nature, which is so necessary and just? |
A51294 | For, as I was intimating before, which of these two is the more deplorable state, to be a Fool by Fate or upon choice? |
A51294 | Had not you better resume your Province, Hylobares, and assault him your self? |
A51294 | Have I so? |
A51294 | He 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? |
A51294 | How becomingly does Philopolis exercise his office, and seasonably commit the Opponent with the Respondent, like a long- practised Moderatour? |
A51294 | How came then the Americans not to lay hold on this opportunity? |
A51294 | How can it then be that particular possible Extensum which the Cylinder is actually? |
A51294 | How can they come at it, or it at them? |
A51294 | How could an arm of mere Air or Aether pull at another man''s hand or arm, but it would easily part in the pulling? |
A51294 | How do you know but that it is as good for the Universe, computing all respects, if it be not better? |
A51294 | How does that appear, Philotheus? |
A51294 | How long of us, Philotheus? |
A51294 | How madly does Cuphophron''s phancy rove? |
A51294 | How merrily- conceited is Cuphophron, that can thus play with a Feather? |
A51294 | How sublimely witty is Euistor with one single Glass? |
A51294 | How 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? |
A51294 | How then comes it to pass that you, being of so Philosophicall a Genius, should miss of the Pre- existence of the Soul? |
A51294 | How therefore can they hold together? |
A51294 | How vastly distant then are those little fix''d Stars that shew but as scattered Pin- dust in a frosty night? |
A51294 | How would their Faith be tried, if all things here below had been carried on in Peace and Righteousness and in the Fear of God? |
A51294 | How, Philotheus? |
A51294 | I appeal to your own sense, Hylobares, would that look handsomely? |
A51294 | I pray you deal freely and ingenuously, Hylobares, are you really more pinched then before? |
A51294 | I pray you what Story is that, Euistor? |
A51294 | I pray you what is it that pleases you so much, Philotheus? |
A51294 | I pray you what is it, Philotheus? |
A51294 | I pray you what is that, Sophron? |
A51294 | I pray you what may be the reason of it? |
A51294 | I pray you whose Lines are they, Hylobares? |
A51294 | I pray you, Bathynous, what kind of Dream was it? |
A51294 | I pray you, Cuphophron, is Philotheus and the rest of his Company come? |
A51294 | I pray you, what is that Scruple, Hylobares? |
A51294 | I pray you, what think you of that, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | I pray, what are those, Hylobares? |
A51294 | I prithee, Euistor, what is it? |
A51294 | In the name of God, what do you mean, Hylobares, to answer so phantastically in so serious a cause? |
A51294 | In this last Point, Hylobares? |
A51294 | In what Extensum therefore is ● ● scribed? |
A51294 | In what capacity of Salvation were they then, O Sophron, for some thousands of years together, who yet are certainly of a lapsed race? |
A51294 | In what immense removes are they one beyond another? |
A51294 | In what therefore does the one describe, suppose, a circular Line, the other a Conicum? |
A51294 | In what, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Is it not better being in this cool Arbour? |
A51294 | Is it not infinitely incredible, Philotheus, if not impossible, that some thousands of Spirits may dance or march on a Needle''s point at once? |
A51294 | Is 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? |
A51294 | Is it not so, Eui ● ● or? |
A51294 | Is it not the perfection of Knowledge to know things as they are in their own nature? |
A51294 | Is it the Authority of the Catholick Church? |
A51294 | Is it then united to the inside of the Body, Cuphophron, or to the outside? |
A51294 | Is not that Bravery which Americus Vesputius records in his Voiage to the New- found- world very ghastly tragicall? |
A51294 | Is not their Soul mere Mechanicall motion, according to that admirable Philosopher? |
A51294 | Is not this something inhospitall for us all to fall upon Cuphophron thus in his own Arbour at once? |
A51294 | Is then the power of moving the Body thus by her Will in the Soul, or out of the Soul? |
A51294 | Is this the utmost of your Difficulty, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Is this your Sagacity or deep Melancholy, Bathynous, that makes you surmize such Plots against the Deity? |
A51294 | Is your Scepticism in this point so powerfull as still to be able to bear up against them? |
A51294 | It must be acknowledged; what then? |
A51294 | Leave we nothing to our selves, Save a Voice; what need we else? |
A51294 | Matter in potentia? |
A51294 | Must not then some diviner Principle be at the bottom, that thus cancells the Mechanicall Laws for the common good? |
A51294 | Of the Bridegroom his not lying with his own Bride the first night, but some other of the like quality? |
A51294 | Or can you compare your distinct Selfship with this immense compass, and yet not conceive your self surrounded? |
A51294 | Or thus, Cuphophron, Does not the So ● l move the Body? |
A51294 | Or thus: If this multitude of Divine Atoms be God, be they interspersed amongst all the matter of the World? |
A51294 | Or what more outrageous specimen of Madness, then the killing and slaying for the Non- belief of such things? |
A51294 | Shame take you, Hylobares, have you hit on that piece of Waggery once again? |
A51294 | Si tibi non annis corpus jam marcet? |
A51294 | Spectatum admissi risum teneatis, ami ● i? |
A51294 | Tell me therefore, Hylobares, why do you think that the World was not created till about six thousand years agoe? |
A51294 | That God is so the Essence and Substance of all things, that they are but as dependent Accidents of him? |
A51294 | That is not much strained, C ● phophron; but what then? |
A51294 | That it is better for them is plain according to the opinion of all Metaphysicians: but how is it better for the Universe, Philotheus? |
A51294 | That''s a Paradox indeed: why so, I pray you, Hylobares? |
A51294 | That''s a very odd thing of the men of Arcladam, Euistor: I pray you, what is it? |
A51294 | The contrivance of the Earth into Hills and Springs and Rivers, into Quarries of Stone and Metall: is not all this for the best? |
A51294 | There''s a reason indeed, Hylobares; how can it then be the real Rendezvous of separate Souls? |
A51294 | They 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? |
A51294 | This first was by far the more difficult Probleme of the two, and how easily has he solved it? |
A51294 | This is the very Philosophy of the Apostle, O Philotheus, What fruit have ye then of those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
A51294 | This is very judiciously advertised of Bathynous, is it not, Hylobares? |
A51294 | WHat tall Instrument is this, O Cuphophron, that you have got thus unexpectedly into your Arbour? |
A51294 | Was it a delusion of my sight? |
A51294 | Was there not a first six thousand years of Duration from the beginning of the World, supposing it began so timely as you have described? |
A51294 | What Envy, but Self- love grieved at the sense of its own Want, discovered and aggravated by the fulness of another''s enjoyment? |
A51294 | What Mysterious conceits has Bathynous of what can be but a mere Vacuum at best? |
A51294 | What Verses do you mean, Euistor? |
A51294 | What a chearfull thing the apprehension of Truth is, that it makes Hylobares so pleasant and so witty? |
A51294 | What a youthfull conceit has your Phancy slipt into, O Cuphophron? |
A51294 | What are those Scruples, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What do you mean by Capacity, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | What do you mean? |
