A26901And is this a Controversie in Divinity?
A26901And must we only tell Heathens, that the Scriptures have their proper evidence, and not tell them what that evidence is?
A26901And now Mr. Bagshaw citeth it with applause: Reader, who is in such a case as I?

A26901Their Controversies were, whether the Parliament had Authority to raise their Arms against the Kings will, prohibition, and opposition?
A26901Then went the Pharisees and took counsel, how they might entangle him in his talk — Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
A26901They call out for Valiantness in suffering themselves: And shall I be so cowardly as to fear their false reports?
A26901They cry out against the fear of man: And shall I fear their impotent revilings?
A26901What sin will you call it to father all these falshoods on[ the Glory of God, and the Cause of Christ?
A26901When the Minister prayeth freely, I may in heart either joyn with him, neglect him, or dissent: And what hinders me from doing so at Common- Prayer?

A53575How comes that which was the great Errand and Duty of the Apostles, and their immediate Successors; now to become so great a Crime?
A53575How unreasonable then is it, to require of any such an Assent or Consent, as must render them either Beasts, or not men?
A53575If a National Church?

A53575It makes Conscience the ONLY rule of mens Faith and Practices?
A53575Or in the Acts of the mind?
A53575Or what is Paul''s pleading Conscience for persecuting Christs Disciples, and making havock of the Church?

A53575They sware unto the Lord with a loud voice and with shouting, and with Trumpets, and with Cornets?

A53575for it reacht no farther then to those who were present; And who denies the like Power unto Christian Magistrates?
A53575is not this Answerer able to distinguish, between commanding to sin; and restraining from sin?
A53575or Judg''d it a violation of the Law or light of Nature, so to do?
A53575or any thing to that purpose?
A53575or does he think it did not then thrive or prosper in the hearts of any, which is the proper Seat of Religion?
A53575or is this one of the principles of Independent Tyranny?
A53575or that he causelessly and falsely accuseth a whole Church and Kingdom, as the Fountain of all the Distractions and Divisions that abound in it?
A53575or that he now stands in more need of secular assistance, then heretofore?
A53575or to remove such outward appearances and Monuments of worship, as are evidently and apparently false and Idolatrous?
A53575or what Law of God, or Nature, do they therein transgress?
A53575or will he not himself be found to be the false accuser he speaks of?

A53575was it not by convincing them it was their duty so to do?
A53575was there then no true Religion in Israel?
A53575why then doth he entertain his Readers with these impertinences?
A70888A Conscience that knows it self to be acted by certain and infallible Principles, how could it be more head- strong and confident?
A70888Again, Are there not some whole Sects of men, all whose Religion is made up of nothing but passion, rancour, and bitterness?

A70888And indeed what can we imagine more odious or mischievous than a spirit of Pride, Peevishness, and Animosity adopted into the Service of God?
A70888And that which themselves imposed, What Divine Authority can it challenge, beside that of an Ordinance of Lords and Commons?
A70888And then, let any man tell me, Wherein consists the power of Princes, when it may be controlled by every Subjects opinion?
A70888And therefore I appeal to all the wise and sober world, Whether they that would make Religion ridiculous, are not infinitely so themselves?
A70888And therefore how shall that excuse, or justifie them in their Separation?

A70888And what do they, but set up a Pope in every mans Conscience, whilst they vest it with a Power of countermanding the Decrees of Princes?
A70888And what does renouncing the Covenant concern the people?
A70888And what else do we find enforc''d and recommended in our Saviour''s Sermons, beside heights of Morality?

A70888And what so glorious as to lose their lives in the Cause of God?
A70888And when men think their passions warranted by their Religion, how is it possible it should be otherwise?
A70888And whether all the Folly and Madness in the World can equal this of these scoffing Atheists?

A70888Are not these, and the like innocent Propositions( think you) mightily conducive to the peace and settlement of Common- wealths?
A70888Are not we the praying and serious People of the Nation, for whose sakes only the Lord is pleased to stay among us?
A70888Are we beholden to him barely for suffering us to live in our native Soil, and enjoy only our fundamental Priviledges?

A70888Do they murder Kings?
A70888Do they separate from the Communion of the Church?
A70888Do they tye themselves by one Oath to contradict and evacuate another?
A70888For how seldom is it, that any Wars are commenced upon just and warrantable grounds?
A70888For if so, Then why are not these good people, that follow them, better informed?
A70888For if we demand, wherefore they would be born with in their Dissentions from our way of Worship?
A70888For to what purpose should they drive one from the Communion of the Church, that has already renounced it?
A70888For what power would be left to Princes, if every private mans perswasion( for that is his Conscience) may give check to their Commands?
A70888For where are described all the Rules of Justice and Honesty?
A70888For, What is there in Christianity of greater importance, than the vertues of meekness, peaceableness, and humility?
A70888Have they a power of deciding all Controversies?
A70888How dare they commence a Suit at Law, without Warranty from Scripture?
A70888How dare they do any natural action, without particular advice and direction of Holy Writ?
A70888How dare they take any Physick, but what is prescribed in the Word of God?
A70888How do such men hug and nurse their dear scruple?
A70888How eagerly will they flow into their Party in spight of all the Power and Opposition of their Governours?
A70888How few are there of the Divine Laws more severe and peremptory, than those that command Obedience to Authority?
A70888How few are they, who have wisdom enough to keep their zeal clean from these sowre and crabbed mixtures?
A70888How happy would the world be, if wise men were but wise enough to be instructed by the Mistress of Fools?
A70888How hussingly will they assert, that the Notion of an Immaterial Substance implies a Contradiction, for no other reason, than because it does?
A70888How much severe Study and Contemplation is required to a Competent Knowledge of these things?
A70888How should offenders be reclaim''d, by being condemn''d to what they chuse?
A70888How should they be scared by threatnings, that they neither fear nor believe?
A70888If in the primitive Ages of Christianity, why then, where did our Saviour appoint the Love- Feasts?
A70888If my Conscience be really weak and tender, What can become it more than humble obedience and submission to Authority?
A70888Is not the right practice of Moral Duties as necessary a part of Religion, as any outward Form of Worship in the World?
A70888Is this all the kindness( say they) he can afford the Godly, not to persecute them by Law and force to their utter ruine?
A70888Is this all the reward and encouragement we deserve?
A70888Let them tell me, What Precept or Example they have in the Holy Scriptures for singing Psalms in Meeter?
A70888Now is there not likely to be untoward doings, when two Supreme Powers thus clash and contradict each other?
A70888Now to what purpose should he entrust them with a Commission to govern his Church, when he knew they would labour its utter ruine and destruction?
A70888Now what a reproach to the Gospel is this, that it should be made the only Plea for Sedition?
A70888Now with what a shameless Brow do these men prevaricate with publick Authority?
A70888Secondly, How came the people to be scandalized?
A70888The Civil Magistrate may determine new Instances of Virtue; how much more new Circumstances of Worship?
A70888This cancels and dispenses with all the obligations of sobriety: And what has prudence to do with Religion?
A70888To what purpose should they deny him the Instruments and Ministries of Religion, that cares not for them?
A70888To what purpose should they turn him out of their Society, that has already prevented them by forsaking it?
A70888What a perverse folly is it to imagine, That nothing but opposition to Government can secure our liberty?
A70888What clearer evidence can we possibly have, That it is not Conscience, but humour and peevishness that dictates their scruples?
A70888What does St. Paul discourse of to Felix but moral matters, Righteousness, and Temperance, and Iudgment to come?

A70888What reason can the Wit of man assign to restrain it from one, that will not much more restrain it from both?
A70888What strange effects are these of a diffident and timorous Conscience?
A70888What then is to be done in this case?
A70888What will ye?
A70888Where are decided all Controversies of Right and Wrong?
A70888Where are determined all doubts and questions of Conscience?
A70888Where are recorded all the Laws of Government and Policy?
A70888Where has he commanded the observations of Lent and Easter?
A70888Where has he instituted the Kiss of Charity?
A70888Where has our Saviour or his Apostles enjoyn''d a Directory for publick Worship?
A70888Where the Lords- Day Sabbath?
A70888Whether to consute it with Raillery and Bold Iests, be not as void of Wit as Reason?
A70888Who buzzed their scruples, and jealousies into their heads?
A70888Why do not these men require from the Scriptures express Commands for every Action they do in common life?
A70888Why do they connive at their pride and presumption?
A70888Why do they not instruct them in the truth, and disabuse them out of their false and absurd conceits?
A70888Why not all?
A70888Why should they not be as complete a System of Ethicks, as they are a Canon of Worship?
A70888Will not the most sacred Bonds and Compacts leave them in as insecure a condition as they found them in?
A70888and what Command for that significant Ceremony of wearing sack- cloth and ashes, in token of Humiliation?
A70888and what can follow, but perfect disorder and confusion, when every man will be governed by nothing but his own conceits?
A70888and, where all their other Commemorative Festivals?
A70888by whom were they betrayed, and affrighted into their mistakes?
A70888shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
A70888who I say, that loves and adores the Spirit of true Religion, can forbear to be sharp and severe to such thick and fulsom abuses?
A53665199, 200,& c. to be true, as some of them are most blasphemously false; yet, What is all this to his purpose?
A53665All the question is, Whether Religion they brought with them?
A53665And hath Rome need of these bold Sallyes against the vitals of Religion?
A53665And have they so?
A53665And if you will further contest, that such a Prophet was to abrogate the first Law, and bring in a new one, Who shall judge in this case?
A53665And what is here for Purgatory, seeing the person is to be saved by the means of grace appointed by Christ?
A53665And what then?
A53665And what was the reason of this failure?
A53665And who I pray is it, that manageth this charge?
A53665And, can they take it kindly of those, who would shut up this gift of God from them whether they will or no?
A53665Are these the things, which in their principles and practice, are blamed by Protestants?
A53665Are they also to be taken disjunctively?
A53665Are they any prayers that concern the Priest alone, which he is to repeat, though the people be present?
A53665Are they not incomparably the greatest part of Christians?
A53665Are they not rather justly to be supposed blind themselves, who can entertain such thoughts of it?
A53665Are they not such as God commands to worship him?
A53665Are they not such as have souls to save?
A53665Are they not such, for whose sakes, benefit, and advantages, all the worship of the Church is ordained, and all the admistration of it appointed?
A53665Are they not the Church of God, the Temple of the Holy Ghost?
A53665Are they not, For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup?
A53665Are they the publick prayers of the Church?
A53665Are we wiser then he?
A53665Besides, What is, or ever was, the Western Empire unto the Catholicism of the Church of Christ, spread over the whole world?
A53665Besides, Who appointed them to be made?
A53665Besides, might she not fall by Idolatry, or false Worship, or by Prophaneness, or Licentiouss of Conversation, contrary to the whole rule of Christ?
A53665Besides, what is here about the invocation of Saints?
A53665But I desire to know, What prayers of the Priest they are, which it matt ● rs not, whether the people hear or understand?
A53665But after the chalice, he speaks with a limitation, Do this as oft as you shall drink it, in commemoration of me; What then?
A53665But do we not see, de facto, what differences there are amongst you, who pretend, all of you, to be guided by Scripture?
A53665But how shall we come to know, and be assured of all this?
A53665But is he not, I pray, the same Man- God, still?
A53665But is this indeed the difference between Papists and Protestants about the Saints?
A53665But the question is, Whether they have what God allows them, and what he commands them to make use of?
A53665But to what purpose should I do it?
A53665But what if they understand of it nothing at all?
A53665But what is it, he means by the Book?
A53665But what is the matter?
A53665But what is this indifferent use, and who are these antient Christians he tells us of?
A53665But what, I pray, if this be the design of the Apostle?
A53665But who, I pray, told our Author so?
A53665But why have not Protestants a remedy for their evils, a means of ending and making up their differences?
A53665But why have not Protestants a sure and safe way to issue all their differences?
A53665But why is it not necessary in the way of Protestants?
A53665But why so, I pray?
A53665But, What is a general Custome of the Western Empire, in opposition to the command of God, and the evidence of all that reason that lies against it?
A53665But, What shall we say to the other, and, in the other Texts, so often occurring to the same purpose?
A53665But, how shall we know this to be so?
A53665But, sayes our Author, why then do they not do so, why are they at such fewds and differences amongst themselves?
A53665But, what stop?

A53665Do Protestants teach, There are no such things as good works pleasing to God, or that those that believe, are not obliged to good works?

A53665Doth it not deliver what it commands us to understand, so as it may be understood?
A53665Doth it speak contradictions, and set us at variance?

A53665Doth our Author plead, that where, and from whom men had their Religion of old, there and with them they ought to abide, or to return unto them?
A53665Doth the Sanctification of the Scripture, consist in the laying up of the Book of the Bible, from our profane Utensils?

A53665For first, as to the Translation of the Scripture by the Jews into the Syriack Tongue, to what purpose doth he suppose, should this be done?

A53665Have they ever read the Scripture, or tasted any sweetness in it?
A53665Have we more care of his Church then he had?

A53665Is he the same Head that Christ was?
A53665Is it Protestants he blames, and not Protestancy?
A53665Is it a limitation of the use of either, and not a limitation of that kind of Commemoration of the Lord''s Death to the use of both?
A53665Is it any otherwise sanctified, but as it is appointed for the use of the Church of all that believe?
A53665Is it possible that any man in his right wits should talk at such a rate?
A53665Is it the spirit after it is departed?
A53665Is it, that it may be laid up, and be hid from that people, which Christ hath prayed, might be sanctified by it?
A53665Is not the command equal to all?
A53665Is not the same term as often annexed to the one, as well as to the other?
A53665Is not this a ready way to make men Atheists, if only by inducing them to an imitation of that, which by his example he commends unto them?
A53665Is she no other way capable of a defence?

A53665Is there intimated by our Author, a decay of Devotion and Reverence to Religious things, Temples ▪& c?
A53665Is there no way to exalt the Pope, but by questioning the Authority of Christ, and Truth of the Scripture?

A53665Prove it; ask the antient Fathers, and Councils, whether they ever heard of any such thing?
A53665Saith he, This Church could not cease to be such, but she must fall either by Apostacy, Heresy, or Schism: But who told him so?
A53665Shall the Truth be thence calumniated, as though it sent forth no beams whereby it may be clearly discerned?
