A45460 | In the meane time I must say with the Poet, speaking of some Lawyers in his time, Fur es, ait Pedio, Pedius quid? |
A45460 | Is not this a derogation to supreme power and domination? |
A45460 | No: If a Nation or a Bishop dissent from the rest of the General Councel, is it schism? |
A45460 | Was it lawfull for the tenants or dressers of the vineyard to deny entrance to the King''s son or but servant? |
A45460 | What more authentick and dilucid testimony could have been produced to any Romanist, with whom I had to doe? |
A45460 | What then will they contest it by? |
A45460 | Whether, if we did, we would wilfully continue under it, or consequently, whether we be now guilty of Schisme in this notion? |
A45460 | all grounds a good orthodox Christian ought to be concluded by? |
A45460 | and can I break communion with any, as long as being an inferior, I live regularly under all my superiors, and brotherly with all my equals? |
A45460 | he will answer, No: If a Metropolitan dissent from his Primate, but agree with the rest of the Patriarchs, is it schisme? |
A45460 | if none of these are subject, and bound to their Superiors or Vniversals in matters of faith? |
A45460 | or can that be Vniversal, from which some particulars are exempt? |
A45460 | or where truly is there any subordination in Faith? |
A45460 | still I believe he will answer, No: Where then is schisme provided against? |
A34675 | 24. how much more towards their Brethren? |
A34675 | 35, 36, 37? |
A34675 | A Reede shaken with the winde? |
A34675 | And if so, then why doe we blame the Seekers who have cast off all Churches, and all Ordinances,''till new Apostles come? |
A34675 | But what Prejudice is that to our cause? |
A34675 | Can the mind of an honest man be thought to be conversant with such meane and low thoughts? |
A34675 | Can there be communion between light and Darknesse? |
A34675 | Can they edify one another in the Faith, that have not the work of Faith wrought in them? |
A34675 | Crimen in auditum C. Caesar; is it meet that any one should be tolerated, that is thus wofully inconsistent with himselfe? |
A34675 | Guifts in the Person, and consent of people, is warrant enough to make a man a preacher in an extraordinary Case? |
A34675 | Hath he proved any Church Union betweene them as such, and us? |
A34675 | Hath he proved the due administration of Ordinances amongst them whom he pleads for? |
A34675 | How hard is it for a heart leavened with Prejudice to take good things in good part? |
A34675 | If the convention of one Church may make a Synagogue, why may not the convention of two churches make a Synod? |
A34675 | Is it not worth the contending about, to place it in the derived succession of ours? |
A34675 | Is there any word or tittle in the whole Discourse deviating from these Principles? |
A34675 | Is there not roome enough in the world, to beare the good names of Mr Cotton and Mr Cawdry? |
A34675 | Is this mans Judgment contrary to his Practise, and is it the greater Blemish? |
A34675 | It was a particular Church of Christ''s institution, that I inquired after; doth our Authour think that Christ hath appointed any Patriarchall Church? |
A34675 | Mr. Bartlet speaketh something( this language) Can there be Ability for spirituall& holy services, where the spirit is not yet given? |
A34675 | Or what if a private Brother of good credit in the church shall observe the Doctrine of the Ministers not so much válued as were meet? |
A34675 | Quid ergo? |
A34675 | Sed praeterea quaenam ista est quaeso ordinaria vocatio, quam eos habuisse dicis, quos Deus paucis quibusdam except is, excitavit? |
A34675 | The brethren of the Church might Proceed( to wit, upon just, and weighty grounds) against all their officers as well as one? |
A34675 | The constant practise of women baptizing amongst them, is of the same import: and what doth Mr Cawdry think of this kind of Baptisme? |
A34675 | They say it is put into diverse hands, And he saith it is Given only to Believers: And is not this a Contradiction? |
A34675 | What if the whole Presbytery offend? |
A34675 | What saith the Replyer to this? |
A34675 | What then? |
A34675 | What went you out into the wildernesse to see? |
A34675 | but that if one be vindicated the other must be slurred? |
A34675 | hath hath he proved as to have broken that Union? |
A34675 | is any thing more contrary to the royall law of charity, than to take up reports as the ground of charges and accusations? |
A34675 | may not a particular Church be the seat of all ordinances subjectively, and yet others be the object of them, or of some of them? |
A34675 | or wherein doth it contradict any of our Tenents? |
A34675 | shall we say Then Pauls Doctrine and Practise Agree not, which is the greater Blemish? |
A34675 | what is this to schisme? |
A34675 | what say we to Paul? |
A34675 | what will not selfe- fulnesse and prejudice put men upon? |
A34675 | why may he not take occasion, to speak some words of encouragement, and confirmation, both to the Minister and to the Congregation? |
A34675 | yet in such cases our Churches are never wo nt to proceed, but in the Presence, and with the Consent and approbation of other Churches? |
A44394 | Appello Conscientiam tuam: Were those things such nothings, that they deserve to be thus jeered? |
A44394 | But grant that it had lasted longest, what then? |
A44394 | But what necessity as there now of so doing? |
A44394 | But you will ask, Who shall be the Judge what is necessary? |
A44394 | Can then the enjoyning of the practice of such a thing be ought else but abuse? |
A44394 | Christ hath promised his perpetual assistance to his Church; but hath he left any Prophecy, that the Church should perpetually adhere to him? |
A44394 | Do we not judge those that are within? |
A44394 | Do you take it to be good? |
A44394 | First, In all the Apostles practice in Converting Jews and Gentiles, find you any thing like unto the act of any Judiciary Power? |
A44394 | For Answer, Grant me there were some great Mystery in it, yet whence is it proved, that this is that Mystery? |
A44394 | For to what purpose should they serve? |
A44394 | I pray whose words are these? |
A44394 | In the third place, you require to know, What necessity, or what convenience there is of Confession? |
A44394 | Is Heresy a more dangerous thing than Idolatry? |
A44394 | Is Martyrdom an Argument of the Supremacy? |
A44394 | Is he like a second Paul, lately descended out of the third Heavens, and there hath made us the discovery? |
A44394 | Is it to teach him that it is a sin? |
A44394 | Now whether the Chucrh of Rome err in Fundamentals, yea or no? |
A44394 | Or can the refusal of Communion here, be thought any other thing than duty? |
A44394 | See you not how the whole World conspires with me in the same opinion? |
A44394 | Tell me in good earnest, if you can, out of what good intent can this desire to know another Man''s sin, which concerns you not, proceed? |
A44394 | The Conversion of a Sinner, is it an act of the Keys, yea or no? |
A44394 | The Question is, Whether the Church may Err in Fundamentals? |
A44394 | The main Difference is in the manner of practising it, the Question being, What Parties are to be interessed in it? |
A44394 | To the first, That so many of the Bishops of Rome were Martyrs, What makes that to the purpose? |
A44394 | To whom I pray you, is, that said in Leviticus, Thou shalt not see thy Brother sin, but thou shalt reprove, and save thy Brother? |
A44394 | To your Question then, Whether the power of the Keys be declarative only? |
A44394 | To your second Query, Whether the Keys were confined to the Apostles only? |
A44394 | What active, what Judiciary part can any Minister of the Gospel have here? |
A44394 | What reason now can you give me, why you should desire to dive into any Man''s Breast,& scire Secreta Domûs? |
A44394 | What think you of this Reason? |
A44394 | When Tarquinius was walking in his Garden, a Messenger came and asked him, what he would have done unto the Town of Gabii, then newly taken? |
A44394 | Where Serpents fight, who cares who hath the better? |
A44394 | Why may I not go, if occasion require, to and Arrian Church, so there be no Arrianism exprest in their Liturgy? |
A44394 | Yea, but how shall the Physician cure the Disease, if he know it not? |
A44394 | Yea, but if he know not the particulars, how shall he judge of the Quantity of the Doses? |
A44394 | are they the best, the most learned, the most vertuous, the most likely to walk uprightly? |
A44394 | did our serious Master thus spend his breath to no purpose, and like a Hocus Pocus with so much shew act us a solemn nothing? |
A44394 | what if the Gesture of adoration be used at the Altar, as now we have learned to speak? |
A44394 | what if the garments they wear be censured as, nay indeed be superstitious? |
A70260 | And that this is true, saith Christ, you may judge by your own selves: For, How can ye, being evil, speak good things? |
A70260 | And what is the Scope and Purport of that Discourse? |
A70260 | Appello Conscientiam tuam: Were those things such nothings, that they deserve to be thus jeered? |
A70260 | But grant that it had lasted longest, what then? |
A70260 | But what necessity is there now of so doing? |
A70260 | But you will ask, who shall be the Judg what is necessary? |
A70260 | But, I pray, how comes the next Discourse in, concerning the unclean Spirit going out of a man, in the 43 Verse? |
A70260 | Can then the enjoyning of the practice of such a thing be ought else but abuse? |
A70260 | Christ hath promised his perpetual assistance to his Church; but hath he left any Prophesie, that the Church should perpetually adhere to him? |
A70260 | Could not St. Paul, as easily as Mr Calvin, have said, If we sin malitiously, as say, if we sin willingly? |
A70260 | Do we not judge those that are within? |
A70260 | Do you take it to be good? |
A70260 | First, In all the Apostles practice in Converting Jews and Gentils, find you any thing like unto the act of any Judiciary Power? |
A70260 | For Answer, Grant me there were some great Mystery in it, yet whence is it proved, that this is that Mystery? |
A70260 | For to what purpose should they serve? |
A70260 | How come you to be troubled at that? |
A70260 | How shall I reconcile this Contradiction to my Thinking? |
A70260 | I pray whose words are these? |
A70260 | I shall do my best, what is that I pray? |
A70260 | Is Heresy a more dangerous thing than Idolatry? |
A70260 | Is Martyrdom an Argument of the Supremacy? |
A70260 | Is he like a second Paul, lately descended out of the third Heavens, and there hath made us the discovery? |
A70260 | Is it to teach him that it is a sin? |
A70260 | It may be so indeed but then, why taketh he seven Spirits, more wicked than himself? |
A70260 | Now whether the Church of Rome err in Fundamentals, yea or no? |
A70260 | Or can the refusal of Communion here, be thought any other thing than duty? |
A70260 | Secondly, By Retortion, in these words, If I by Beelzebub do cast out Devils, by whom do your children cast them out? |
A70260 | See you not how the whole World conspires with me in the same opinion? |
A70260 | Tell me in good earnest, if you can, out of what good intent can this desire to know another mans sin, which concerns you not, proceed? |
A70260 | The Conversion of a Sinner, is it an act of the Keys, yea or no? |
A70260 | The Question is, Whether the Church may Err in Fundamentals? |

A70260 | To your second Query, Whether the Keys were confined to the Apostles only? |
A70260 | V. where Christ saith, That the Priests on the Sabbath- Day, prophane the Sabbath, and are blameless: What doth he mean by that? |
A70260 | What active, what judiciary part can any Minister of the Gospel have here? |
A70260 | What reason now can you give me, why you should desire to dive into any mans Breast,& scire Secreta Domûs? |
A70260 | What think you of this Reason? |
A70260 | When Tarquinius was walking in his Garden, a Messenger came and asked him, what he would have done unto the Town of Gabij, then newly taken? |
A70260 | Where Serpents fight, who cares who hath the better? |
A70260 | Why may I not go, if occasion require, to an Arrian Church, so there be no Arrianism exprest in their Liturgy? |
A70260 | Why should not you think that this was their fault? |
A70260 | Yea, but how shall the Physician cure the Disease, if he know it not? |
A70260 | Yea, but if he know not the particulars, how shall he judg of the Quantity of the Doses? |
A70260 | are they the best, the most learned, the most vertuous, the most likely to walk uprightly? |
A70260 | did our serious Master thus spend his breath to no purpose, and like a Hocus Pocus with so much shew act us a solemn nothing? |
A70260 | what if the Garments they wear be censured as, nay indeed be superstitious? |
A70260 | what if the Gesture of adoration be used at the Altar, as now we have learned to speak? |
A70260 | why is the number of Seven here pitched on, more than any other? |
A90276 | 14.? |
A90276 | 3.? |
A90276 | And doth not the charge rise up with equall efficacy against you as them? |
A90276 | And why did not our Saviour on that dispute, plainly satisfy them, that Peter was to be chiefe? |
A90276 | And will they condemne others in what they practise themselves? |
A90276 | But chose rather to so determine the Question, as to evince them of the vanity of any such enquiry? |
A90276 | But do these men know what they say, or will it ever trouble the Conscience of a man in his right wits, to be charged with Schisme on this account? |
A90276 | But doe we not receive the Scripture it selfe upon the Authority of the Church? |
A90276 | But is Schisme so a sinne against Charity? |
A90276 | But let that be supposed, what is next? |
A90276 | But what hath not an irrationall attempt of enthroning opinions put men upon? |
A90276 | But what is next to this? |
A90276 | But what pretence, or colour of it, is there for this Assertion? |
A90276 | But who is sufficient for such an attempt? |
A90276 | Call the whole Church together, and try what we will doe? |
A90276 | Centuries following? |
A90276 | Do we not beare with each other? |
A90276 | Doe we live in strife, and variance? |
A90276 | Doe we not joyne in every Congregation in the Nation? |
A90276 | Doe we not joyne in externall acts of worship in Peace with the whole Church? |
A90276 | For what have we done? |
A90276 | Have not I liberty to call for Reformation according to the Scripture only? |
A90276 | Have we not seen that head taking his flesh in his teeth, tearing his body and his limbs to pieces? |
A90276 | Hence( for instance) is that doubty dispute in the world; whether a Schismatick doth belong to the Church, or noe? |
A90276 | Here lye all the difficulties, whether being come together in the name of Christ they may doe, what he hath commanded them, or no? |
A90276 | How, or by what Act did God unchurch them? |
A90276 | I aske whether these converted persons may nor possibly come together, or assemble themselves in the name of Jesus? |
A90276 | I much question, whether any one would think fit to call these men Schismaticks? |
A90276 | If any one now shall say, will you conclude, because this evill mentioned by the Apostle is Schisme, therefore nothing else is so? |
A90276 | If any shall aske, How then is it possible, that any such Churches should be raised a new? |
A90276 | If but one, why those of England, Scotland, and Ireland, were not one also; especially since they have been under one Civill Magistrate? |
A90276 | If not, what have the Romanists, Italians, to doe to judge us? |
A90276 | If seven, how they came to be one? |
A90276 | Is an injunction for the performance of duty, a grant of new Authority? |
A90276 | Is any thing more cleerly and fully prophesy''d on then Christ? |
A90276 | Is it that we are departed from the Faith of the people of God in England? |
A90276 | It is said, that true Churches were at first planted in England; how then, or by what means did they cease so to be? |
A90276 | Must we believe Armies raised, and battailes fought, Townes fired, all in pure love, and perfect Church order? |
A90276 | Not one Law of Order? |
A90276 | Shall the tumultuating of a few in a corner of Africk, blot out the remembrance of the late diffus ● on of Arrianisme over the world? |
A90276 | Sin autem Apostoli tradiderunt Eccclesiis verbum Dei sine intelligentia verbi Dei, quomodo praedicarunt Evangelium omni Creaturae? |
A90276 | Tell me when or how we were members of your Church? |
A90276 | The most of the enquiries that are made, and disputed on, whether this or that sort of men belongs to the Church or no? |
A90276 | The second thing inquired after is, what subjection we stood, or were supposed to have stood in, to the Bishops? |
A90276 | They aske us why not Ordination from the Church of Rome, as well as the Scripture? |
A90276 | What Eminencie of commission for teaching all Nations, or for, giving sinnes? |
A90276 | What do the Chiefest, choisest pillars, eldest sonnes, and I know not what of their Church at this day? |
A90276 | What hath been the residue of thir Proselytes? |
A90276 | What was peculiar in that triple command of feeding the sheep of Christ, but his triple deniall, that preceded? |
A90276 | Where was your Religion in the dayes of Christ and his Apostles? |
A90276 | Whether we had seven Churches here in England, during the Heptarchy of the Saxons, and one in Wales or but one in the whole? |
A90276 | Why so? |
A90276 | Will it evince all the members of their Church to be Regenerate, or only some? |
A90276 | and if so, whether from thence any may not discerne whereon the Vnity of the Church of England doth depend? |
A90276 | doe they not disavow all obedience to them who were their legall Superiours in that constitution? |
A90276 | doe they not kill, destroy, and ruine each other, as they are able? |
A90276 | doe they retaine either matter or forme, or any thing, but that naked name of that Church? |
A90276 | doe we break any bond of Union, wherein we are bound, by the expresse institutions of Jesus Christ? |
A90276 | doe we not worship God without disputes and divisions? |
A90276 | doth it supplant, and root out Love out of the heart? |
A90276 | have they not done the same? |
A90276 | have they not rejected their Nationall Officers, with all the bonds, tyes and ligaments of the Union of that pretended Church? |
A90276 | have they not renounced the way of worship, established by the Law of the Land? |
A90276 | have we differences and contentions in our Assemblies? |
A90276 | is it an affection of the minde attended with an inconsistency therewith? |
A90276 | let them goe to the Churches, with whom we walke, of whom we are, and aske of them concerning our wayes, our Love, and the duties of it? |
A90276 | or at least to professe that my Conscience can not be bound to any other? |
A90276 | or whether the difference of the Civill Laws of these Nations be not the only cause, that these are three Churches? |
A90276 | they will not sustaine any such crimination: Is it that we have forsaken the Church of England as under its Episcopall constitution? |
A90276 | what distinction between Peter and the rest of the Apostles on this account, is once made, or in any kind insinuated? |
A90276 | wherein doth our guilt consist? |
A90276 | wherein lyes the peculiar concernment of these 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A53704 | 6.16 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; as many as walk according to this Rule; and what Rule is that? |
A53704 | And is it any wonder if men question whether they are from Heaven or of Men? |
A53704 | And what Power can such Churches act towards Kings, Potentates, or Rulers of Nations? |
A53704 | And what shall these Constitutions be about, what shall they extend unto? |
A53704 | And who is he that shall take this from them, or deprive them of its exercise, or Right thereunto? |
A53704 | Are these our Principles, are these our Practices? |
A53704 | Are they determined to be necessary in the Scripture, the Rule of Faith? |
A53704 | Are they of the Institution of Christ or his Apostles? |
A53704 | Be it so; What is our or his concernment herein? |
A53704 | But it was the Will of God, that there should be all those things in the Gospel Church- State also, or else why do men contend about them? |
A53704 | But may there not be other Causes of peaceable withdrawing from the Communion of a Church, besides these here enumerated? |
A53704 | But then comes in the Advantage; doth, saith he, this Kindness belong only unto some of our Parochial Churches? |
A53704 | But those of whom Justice Hobart speaks were such, for he saith they first submitted unto the Apostles and afterwards to other Pastors; What then? |
A53704 | But when all is done; what if these Constitutions and Orders should be no ways needful or useful unto the Preservation of the Peace of the Church? |
A53704 | But who are so blind as those who will not see? |
A53704 | But why should we contend fruitlesly about these things? |
A53704 | But why so? |
A53704 | But why so? |
A53704 | Do we think that all this was without c ● use? |
A53704 | Doth he judge us to be such as have no Love unto God? |
A53704 | For saith he, Have those of the Congregational way since altered their Judgment? |
A53704 | For who can think it meet, that every single Parish should be entrusted with the exercise of all Church- Rule and Power among themselves? |
A53704 | From my Concession that some at least of our Parochial Churches are true Churches; he asks, in what sense? |
A53704 | Hath D. O. yielded that in case some termes of Communion in our Church, were not insisted on, they would give over Separation? |
A53704 | How comes this allowance to be made unto them, which else where is denied? |
A53704 | I desire to know, unto whom these Rules are Obligatory? |
A53704 | If he were not, why is he not once called on to discharge his duty in curing of that Schism, or blamed for his neglect? |
A53704 | If it shall be asked then, why did they not formerly agree in the Assemby? |
A53704 | Is it not, in whether of these Churches Edification may be best obtained? |
A53704 | Is it of Divine Institution? |
A53704 | Is it that which all men must be subject to on pain of eternal damnation? |
A53704 | Is it the heart and center of Christian Religion? |
A53704 | Is it when it is taught and preach''d by the Guides and Governours of the Church, or any of them without controul? |
A53704 | Is this Church- State from Heaven? |
A53704 | It would seem to follow more evidently, that no Form at all should by any be appointed; for what shall he do that cometh after the King? |
A53704 | Our Enquiry therefore is, Whereon the Continuation of this Church- State, unto the end of the World, doth depend; what are the Causes? |
A53704 | What are the Means of it? |
A53704 | What are we Concern''d in them; is every Separation from a Church a Schisme? |
A53704 | What if a supposition that they are so, reflects dishonour on the Wisdom and Love of Christ? |
A53704 | What if any one should now dissent from these Constitutions and not submit unto them? |
A53704 | What if they are the great ways and means of breaking the Vnity and Peace of the Church? |
A53704 | What if they are unlawful and unwarrantable, the Lord Christ not having given Power and Authority unto any sort of men to make any such Constitutions? |
A53704 | What is intended by this Rule? |
A53704 | What is of Men is not from Heaven? |
A53704 | What was hereon their Conversation? |
A53704 | Who doth not almost tremble at them? |
A53704 | Who is it that shall make these Orders and Constitutions that must be observed for the Preservation of the Unity and Peace of the Church? |
A53704 | Who shall appoint the Orders intended? |
A53704 | Who shall judge of their Necessity? |
A53704 | Who shall judge them to be Lawful? |
A53704 | Who shall make it lawful for them to neglect what he requires at any time? |
A53704 | Who shall make it unlawful for the Disciples of Christ to obey the Commands of their Lord and Master? |
A53704 | Who that reads the Words can possibly pretend unto any such conception of their meaning? |
A53704 | Whose fault is it, that these Churches are not meet for the exercise of that Power which Christ hath granted unto such Churches? |
A53704 | Will they say, it is with the National, or Diocesan Churches? |
A53704 | Yea what scoffing at the power of Religion doth abound amongst us? |
A53704 | against Causeless Separations from a true Church; and by whom are they not condemned? |
A53704 | are they Competent for it? |
A53704 | are they meet? |
A53704 | are they to make such a Judgement on the Doctrine of their Guides; do they know what is heresie; have they read Epiphanius or Binius? |
A53704 | do we give any countenance unto them by any thing we say or do? |
A53704 | from Heaven or of Men? |
A53704 | hath the Reverend Author in his whole Book once attempted to prove it to be so, though this be the whole of the matter in difference between us? |
A53704 | is it Cemented, United, and Compacted or fitly framed together by these things? |
A53704 | is it the Rule given by the Apostle? |
A53704 | such as prefer our own profit before the Unity of the Church? |
A53704 | what shall any one ordain in the Church, which the Lord Christ thought not meet to ordain? |
A53704 | who they are that ought to yeild Obedience unto them? |
A90287 | And now Chistian Reader what shall we say to these things? |
A90287 | Are indeed these persons any better thēMahumetans as to church priviledges? |
A90287 | Before I asserted the use of the word, I instanced in all the places where it is used, and evinced the sense of it from them? |
A90287 | But do I indeed undertake the cause of the Donatists? |
A90287 | But doth not this Reverend Author know that this is wholly denyed by us? |
A90287 | But how doth our gathering of Churches denie them to be true churches? |
A90287 | But is this done as becomes a Christian, a Minister, a Brother? |
A90287 | But what doth all this availe him in reference to his designe in hand? |
A90287 | But who so blind as they that will not see? |
A90287 | Doth he charge that apostasy upon those whom he calls Independents as such, or if he should, could he tolerably defend his charge? |
A90287 | Doth he denie the dissolution of this union as to the interest of any member by it in the body, to be by apostasy from the profession of the Gospell? |
A90287 | Doth he evince it from any thing deliver''d in that treatise he undertakes to confute? |
A90287 | Doth he expect that I should undertake their defence? |
A90287 | Doth he prove that the breach of this union, is under that formality properly Schisme? |
A90287 | Doth our granting them to be true Churches, also grant that all the Saints in England are members of their Churches? |
A90287 | He asketh first, Why may not this be a sufficient foundation for their Ministry, as well as for their Baptisme? |
A90287 | However for my part, who am forced to beare all this wrath and storme, what hath he to lay to my charge? |
A90287 | I dare not suppose that he will aske why then do I separate from them? |
A90287 | I here denie that I unminister their ministers, unchurch their Churches; hath this Author any more to say to me, or those of my perswasion? |
A90287 | I shall not complaine of my usage: but what am I? |
A90287 | If it be so, can Mr. C. hardly refraine from calling a man Sathan, for speaking the truth? |
A90287 | Is Schisme every breach of union? |
A90287 | Is he not filled with envie to take notice in what love without dissimulation I walk with many of the Presbyterian judgment? |
A90287 | Is it not disproved sufficiently in that very Treatise which he undertakes to answer? |
A90287 | Is preaching to convert heathens a duty of worship? |
A90287 | Is that the question in present agitation? |
A90287 | Is there any thing in my assertion whither a man may separate from any church or no? |
A90287 | May I possibly retaine hopes of making my selfe understood by this Reverend Author? |
A90287 | Now wherein have we separated from them as to the breach of any such union? |
A90287 | Shall I call in witnesses as to the particular under consideration? |
A90287 | So then, ordination by a Presbytery, Is it seemes opposed by me and my party; but I pray Sir, who told you so? |
A90287 | These things will not be peace in the latter end; shall the sword devour for ever? |
A90287 | This will gratify all sects, Quakers, and all with a toleration: how I pray? |
A90287 | Thus then he; is not this, reader, at once to unchurch all the churches of England since the reformation? |
A90287 | What Question doth our Reverend Author meane? |
A90287 | What hath the Reverend Author to charge upon me with reference thereunto? |
A90287 | What may I expect from others, when so grave and Reverend a person as this Author is reported to be, shall thus deal with me? |
A90287 | What then? |
A90287 | Who told him that raising causlesse differences in a Church, and then separating from it, is not in my judgment schisme? |
A90287 | am I changed in this also? |
A90287 | any thing of stating the difference betwixt the Presbiterians and Independants? |
A90287 | any thing upon what Corruption he may lawfully so do? |
A90287 | are not particular churches instituted of Christ? |
A90287 | are their ordinances and churches so denied by me as is pretended? |
A90287 | are these the waies of peace, love and truth that the Reverend Author walks in? |
A90287 | are they obedient to them? |
A90287 | as far as I can gather: might not then the trouble of this Chapter have been spared? |
A90287 | but is that the thing under consideration? |
A90287 | can I not speak of their cause in Reference to the Catholick Church and its union, but it must be affirmed that I plead for them? |
A90287 | can any one do so without his consenting to do so? |
A90287 | did I deny that they sided and made parties about their divisions and differences? |
A90287 | did I say I was unwilling? |
A90287 | did he enquire so far after my mind in them, as without breach of charity to be able to make such positive and expresse assertions concerning them? |
A90287 | do I anywhere do it upon this account? |
A90287 | do I at all fix it on this fo ● t of account when I come so to doe? |
A90287 | do I labour to exempt them from Schisme? |
A90287 | do I not condemne all their practises, and pretensions from the beginning to the end? |
A90287 | do I not every where positively deny that there is any such separation made? |
A90287 | do I not immediately without any compulsion very freely fall upon the worke? |
A90287 | do I plead for thē? |
A90287 | do they enjoy any priviledge of Lawes? |
A90287 | do they owne their Authority? |
A90287 | doth he produce any other testimonies out of what I have spoken, deliver''d, or written else where, and on other occasions to make it good? |
A90287 | doth not this whole discourse proceed upon a supposition that it is otherwise with them with whom he hath to do? |
A90287 | is any thing, word, title, or iota spoken to it? |
A90287 | is it any thing to me, or to any thing I affirme, how, where, and when, they managed their disputes, and debated their controversies? |
A90287 | is it likely any such thing should be? |
A90287 | is it my present businesse to state the difference between the Presbyterians and Independents? |
A90287 | is it not the duty of every believer to join himselfe to some one of them? |
A90287 | is it possible at once with the same arguments to charge them? |
A90287 | is not their circumcision uncircūcision? |
A90287 | is not their obedience to that command, their consent so to do? |
A90287 | is this consent any thing but his voluntary submission to the ordinances of worship therein? |
A90287 | it is true there is mention of a church at Cenchrea, but is there any mention that that church made any separation from the church of Corinth? |
A90287 | nay can common honesty allow such a state of a question, if that were the businesse in hand to be put upon me? |
A90287 | or is every breach of Union schisme? |
A90287 | or that the differences mention''d were between the members of these severall churches? |
A90287 | shall such persons give their children any right to church priviledges? |
A90287 | that I condemn all other Churches in the world as no Churches; but who I pray told him these things? |
A90287 | though it were valid in its administration, that is, was celebrated in obedience to the cōmād of Christ, is it not null to thē? |
A90287 | to be that great multitude who throughout the world, professe the Doctrine of the Gospell, and subjection to Jesus Christ? |
A90287 | was it at all incumbent on me, to prove that they did not manage their differences in private, as well as in publick? |
A90287 | was not this acknowledged above? |
A90287 | were not separations made, if not from that church, yet in that church as well as divisions? |
A90287 | were there not divisions into parties as well as in judgments? |
A90287 | what then? |
A90287 | when, wherein, by what meanes have I opposed it? |
A90287 | why then should they be denied their liberty? |
A90287 | will he manifest it by saying more against them in no more words, then I haved one? |
A30624 | 10. a Qui estis vos& unde venissis? |
A30624 | A Pandora''s Box, from whence all sorts of mischievous and foul poysoning Opinions may fly out, and that without Remedy? |
A30624 | Alas, will God leave us also, even to the Obdurateness of Pharaoh? |
A30624 | And did no Body knew wherein it did consist? |
A30624 | And did none of them discover what it was? |
A30624 | And do we not feel it? |
A30624 | And hath any just cause been given you of breaking off your selves from it? |
A30624 | And if this seems decent and respectful, Offer the like to your Governour: Will he be pleased with it, or accept your Persons? |
A30624 | And if ye offer the Lame and Sick, is it not Evil? |
A30624 | And might these be Innocent all the while? |
A30624 | And must it not be pernicious to Christ''s Visible Kingdom? |
A30624 | And now the Question is, Whether the Supream, or Inferiour Presbyters, Ordained Timothy? |
A30624 | And says the same Apostle, The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ? |
A30624 | And since the last are not excluded, the Question is, Whether this justifies your Separation? |
A30624 | And that they hear him with Heart- rising Enmity, or Suspicion, that doth declaim against them? |
A30624 | And what shall he be esteem''d, who intrudes himself into the highest Trust that any Creature is capable of, in the Name of Christ? |
A30624 | And who gave thee this Authority? |
A30624 | And would you see the open Enemies of Religion, forced into their lurking holes, or flying into their Retreats of Darkness? |
A30624 | And, according to their own Principles, they may fitly speak to You, in these Words of Elijah; How long halt ye between two Opinions? |
A30624 | Are the Scriptures so plain in their Directions about things that are necessary either to be done or avoided? |
A30624 | Are they not broken into many Sects? |
A30624 | Are they not ready to devour one another? |
A30624 | Are you not Self- condemn''d by such contrary Practices? |
A30624 | But can you really believe, that one would do you wrong, if he made a small Rent in your Garment, and none if he should tear it in pieces? |
A30624 | But do you find any such Language, or any such thing in Scripture? |
A30624 | But if this be admitted, doth it at all mend the matter? |
A30624 | But if you would lay down your Life for Christ, wherefore do ye lay waste the Church for which Christ died? |
A30624 | But is Schism a Sin? |
A30624 | But is there any Precept for this in Scripture? |
A30624 | But were all Apostles, or Bishops? |
A30624 | But what Affinity is there between Schism and Immorality, or how is the last of these a Consequence of the former? |
A30624 | But what hath the Law done for the Scrupulous? |
A30624 | Can a Member live that is cut off from the Body, or a Branch that is separated from the Tree? |
A30624 | Can any Man forbid them to partake of the Lord''s Supper, when their demand of it is regular? |
A30624 | Can they imagine that Christ is with them, when they are Assembled out of his Church? |
A30624 | Can you imagine that mere Presbyters can Ordain an Evangelist, whose Office was so much Exalted above their own? |
A30624 | Can you imagine, that a Mutiny begun in a Camp, or Kingdom, is Seditious; and that an open Revolt is not so? |
A30624 | De quo mari emersit? |
A30624 | Did the Ancient Fathers speak such terrible things against it, and none of them understand what they said? |
A30624 | Did they make no doubt to lay it to the Charge of the Novations and Donatists? |
A30624 | Do not ye see, how all the Affairs of the Christians are fill''d with Vain- glory? |
A30624 | Do we not know it? |
A30624 | Doth he say, That their Constitution was dissolv''d, and they were no longer a Church? |
A30624 | For if that be so, why are they not with us? |
A30624 | For instance, Are they here admitted to Visible Communion in Publick Acts of Worship? |
A30624 | For tell me, I pray you, wherefore would you suffer Martyrdom? |
A30624 | For what end was it that they must receive one another? |
A30624 | From which of the Heavens was he dropt? |
A30624 | How Ambition and Deceit dwell amongst them? |
A30624 | How pathetick, how moving is his Language here? |
A30624 | If they upbraid us with Heresies, what will they not speak of these things? |
A30624 | If ye offer the Blind for Sacrifice, is it not Evil? |
A30624 | If you please to consult your Teachers, and demand of them, Whether you may: not return to us? |
A30624 | If, say they, these Men have the same Opinions; if they have the same Mysteries, why does one thus leap into the place of another? |
A30624 | Is it a thing, even in the Confession of Dr. Owen himself, That being unrepented of, will ruine a Man''s Eternal c Condition? |
A30624 | Is it not an Idol? |
A30624 | Is it not for the Glory of Christ? |
A30624 | Is it to us, even to us a Crime intolerable, to call us to Repentance? |
A30624 | Is not this a plain Breach of the Apostolical Rule? |
A30624 | Is there not Crying Sin with us? |
A30624 | Might not the People say, What need Paul leave Titus to do that which we can do our selves? |
A30624 | Now here was a very sad Face of Affairs: And what Remedy doth the Apostle apply on this occasion? |
A30624 | O what a Mercy is it for every Christian, that is unable to help himself, to have the help of all the Church of God? |
A30624 | Offer it now to thy Governour, will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy Person? |
A30624 | Or can the Divisions which you have made proceed from that One Spirit, whose Unity is to be kept in the Bond of Peace? |
A30624 | Or can ye be ignorant that they also perished that were with them? |
A30624 | Or doth he say, That the better part should desert the worse, and make up a Church by themselves, consisting only of Visible Saints? |
A30624 | Or if none can be found, is it not against the Second Commandment? |
A30624 | Or may not the same reason bring you back to them? |
A30624 | Or was Conformity then a Duty, and is it now become a Sin? |
A30624 | Or which of us does most appear to discern the Lord''s Body? |
A30624 | Or, would it not be destructive of any Society whatsoever? |
A30624 | Out of what Sea did he arise? |
A30624 | St. Peter said of the Gentile Converts, Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be Baptized? |
A30624 | That he would be injurious if be Wounded your Hand, and Innocent if he cut it off? |
A30624 | The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? |
A30624 | The Doctor of the Gentiles saith, If an Heathen come in and hear you speak with several Tongues, will he not say that you are mad? |
A30624 | To what purpose, add they, did Paul aud Barnabas 〈 ◊ 〉 from place to place to Ordain Elders? |
A30624 | Was your Communion with it lately Lawful, and have any New Terms been added, to make it cease to be so? |
A30624 | Were all Christians careful to avoid it under the Peril of their Souls? |
A30624 | Were all Pastors and Teachers? |
A30624 | What Example have they for it, either in Scripture, or out of Scripture, in any part of the Catholick Church? |
A30624 | What Right can you then have to establish Independent Congregations, or to set up one Congregation against another, in the same City? |
A30624 | What Sacrifices do they believe, they offer, when they contend with the Priests? |
A30624 | What profit is there of other things, if due care be not taken for This? |
A30624 | Where is their Mutual Love, and the promised Peace? |
A30624 | Where is their Unanimity and Harmony of Affections? |
A30624 | Wherefore then do you say their Faith is the same with ours, and they are Orthodox? |
A30624 | Which Opinion then shall I prefer? |
A30624 | Which shall I chuse? |
A30624 | Who ever saw, or read, says Salmasius, a that they who were to have Extraordinary Power, were delegated by those who had no more than Ordinary? |
A30624 | Why was Titus left in Crete, to appoint Elders in every City? |
A30624 | Would such a Practice be tolerable any where? |
A30624 | Would you blast the Honour of our English Reformation, and give Pros ● lytes to the Church of Rome? |
A30624 | Would you bring the Kingdom of Christ to Desolation, or are you willing to see the Ruine of his House? |
A30624 | Would you do what is highly beneficial to others, as well as Glorious and Happy for your selves? |
A30624 | Would you help to stem the Torrent of Profaneness, and drive it backwards? |
A30624 | Would you hinder the Unbelieving World from receiving the Gospel, or would you harden them in their Insidelity? |
A30624 | Would you hinder the progress of Error, or do what is proper to stop the Mouths of its Advocates? |
A30624 | Would you keep open a free passage for all Iniquity, and encourage Vice to appear abroad in great Pomp, without Shame, or Fear? |
A30624 | Yet if it were every way Pure and Apostolical, and the very same with that of the Conformists, Can this be a reason for your Desertion of them? |
A30624 | Yet let us suppose that you have amongst you better Praying and Preaching; Is there any thing wanting with us that is necessary to Salvation? |
A30624 | a But what Divine Precept, what Rule have they for this? |
A30624 | by W. R. c. 12. a De qua terra germinavit? |
A26909 | 2. and 3. which are Covenants to them? |
A26909 | 23. ordain Elders in every Church? |
A26909 | And if these be not worth the disputing with, it seems, that you differ from them more than Separatists do: and then were not all these Schismaticks? |
A26909 | And is it Edifying to read such a discourse, that saith and unsaith by self- contradiction? |
A26909 | And is not Agreement a humane Contract? |
A26909 | And is not his consent then necessary? |
A26909 | And what a Trade for the Booksellers? |
A26909 | And what shall they do where the Prince equally tolerateth both, and it''s hard to know which is the more numerous? |
A26909 | And whether they are Friends to Mankind? |
A26909 | And who denyeth this? |
A26909 | And why can not they? |
A26909 | And why may there not be distinct Politick Bodies, or Compound in one whole as well as natural? |
A26909 | And why then should their own Books be so valued? |
A26909 | Are all that dwell in the Parish or Diocess your Church members? |
A26909 | Are not the Takers of it obliged? |
A26909 | As Whole and Parts? |
A26909 | Baptism delivereth men possession of Pardon, Grace and right to Glory; and can men have this against their wills? |
A26909 | But hath God commanded or instituted no Covenant but Baptism? |
A26909 | But in what sence is Episcopacie one? |
A26909 | But is it true that humane Contracts make not a Church? |
A26909 | But is not humane Covenanting a cause of single Church Relation as well as of universal? |
A26909 | But is not the Inference true? |
A26909 | Can the wit of man imagine how it is possible without consent, for a man to be made the Pastor of any Flock? |
A26909 | Could any then come otherwise in? |
A26909 | Did he think these things need no proof at all? |
A26909 | Did not all Churches hold and practise this after, and was it none of Gods Institution? |
A26909 | Do not men owe duty to their Pastors which they owe to no others? |
A26909 | Do the Free- holders of Belford- shire choose Knights for Middlesex; or the Citizens of Oxford choose Officers in London? |
A26909 | Do the Men of one Colledge, School, Corporation, owe no more duty to that than to all others? |
A26909 | Do you Swear Canonical obedience as much to the Bishop of Paris, or Ha ● ● nia,& c. as to your Ordinary? |
A26909 | Do you yet see no Priviledges that one hath Proper, and not common to all? |
A26909 | Do your Bishops in Convocation make Canon Laws for all the World? |
A26909 | Have they all things common? |
A26909 | How are your Parish or Diocesan Church members known to your selves or any others? |
A26909 | How far are the Vniversal Church and Particular Churches distinct? |
A26909 | How few in England separate not from the Church as far as this disobedience amounts to? |
A26909 | How many Ages in above 23 Duplicates or Schisms, was the World uncertain which was the true Pope? |
A26909 | If a man come from a Countrey Village and be made by Covenant a Citizen of London, how prove you that he renounceth King or Kingdom? |
A26909 | If it be every transient Communicant, have you a proper Pastoral care of every Travellers Soul that so communicates with you? |
A26909 | If many Students may make one Colledge, why may not many Colledges make one University? |
A26909 | If not, put them not on it: Why are you angry with them for going from you? |

A26909 | If one from York or Cornwall come into your Pulpit without consent, do People stand as much related to him as to you? |

A26909 | Is it enough that it be of Men? |
A26909 | Is it not still exacted? |
A26909 | Is this separating from the Catholick Church? |
A26909 | Must the World at last learn that Whole and Parts are not distinct? |
A26909 | No man then is out of the Church that is not out of the Baptismal Covenant, either by not taking it, or by renouncing some Essential part of it? |
A26909 | Or that did not implicitely trust all the Priests that he ordained? |
A26909 | Quo reneam nodo,& c. How should one deal with such slippery men? |
A26909 | Reader, doth not this man here confess that there are particular Churches? |
A26909 | Then the Baptized are still in Communion with the Church, till their baptism be nullified: And hath he proved us Apostates? |
A26909 | They that fellowed the Bi ● hop, or they that separated from him and kept to the C ● hedral? |
A26909 | V ● i Episcopus ibi Ecclesia: Who were the Separatists? |

A26909 | What if the Alexandrians, when 〈 ◊ 〉 was banis ● ed by Constantine himself, were half for him, and half against him? |
A26909 | What the meaning of this great, Decantate Word[ Separate] is, must anon be enquired: But, may not Churches be distinct and not culpably separate? |
A26909 | What, I say, if the People now mistooke who had the best Title? |
A26909 | Whether he separated from himself or his Church? |
A26909 | Whether there he be a Subject to Dr. Stilling sleet as his Pastor, and bound to obey him? |
A26909 | Whether these men are for the Unity of England? |
A26909 | Who ever ordained a man against his will? |
A26909 | Who would have thought that we are more for the Liturgy than he? |
A26909 | Why are we ruined for not covenanting as aforesaid? |
A26909 | Why doth the Canon suspend those that receive them to Communion from another Parish that hath no Preacher? |
A26909 | Will any Divine Covenant serve? |
A26909 | against humane Church Forms? |
A26909 | and France, about the Archbishops of Rh ● ● ● s, when he was put out that deposed 〈 ◊ 〉 4. and when an Infant was put in, and oft besides? |
A26909 | and can any wonder if Rulers should think the Punishment of M ● r ● ● rers is not worse than we deserve? |
A26909 | and doth he not Preach Christians into the hatred of each other? |
A26909 | and then, are not you a Schismatick if you communicate with them? |
A26909 | are not Covenants imposed on all that will be Ministers in the act of Uniformity? |

A26909 | as in Zeno''s and Anastasius Reign,& c. And what shall they do when many Chnrches in one City are of divers Tongues, as well as Customs? |
A26909 | if yea, then is it against Baptism to promise to do our duty? |
A26909 | is it all difference in the Essentials of Christianity? |
A26909 | or for any man to have Title against his will, to the proper oversight and pastoral care of any one Pastor, or the priviledges of any Church? |
A26909 | or if they mistake one or more mens Commission, do they therefore separate from the Catholick Church? |
A26909 | or is the damning dangerous Engine made since?) |
A26909 | or must it not be only the Baptismal Covenant? |

A77494 | An ill requital it must be confessed: But what of this? |
A77494 | An ut dicere ceperam, graviora sunt crimina Traditorum quàm Schismaticorum? |
A77494 | And Calvin puts the like: Suppose a man coming to an Ordinarie, see an excommunicate person there, may hee not sit downe and eate with him? |

A77494 | And did not Arianism so? |
A77494 | And do not many Errors, acknowledged Errors, the like in the Kingdom at this day? |
A77494 | And how come they to be of one minde, one heart? |
A77494 | And if a bare connivance at these divisions have already occasioned such a combustion, what do we think would a Toleration do? |
A77494 | And if not two, how shall twenty, nay a hundred several and contrary opinions and wayes do it? |
A77494 | And if so, shall wee question whether here be true Churches or no? |
A77494 | And if so, why do we fall out? |
A77494 | And in this sense, wee shall not need to grutch the Church of Rome the name of a true Church: if not so, why doe wee call her a Church? |
A77494 | And shall we go about to set up what he hath pulled down, to set up walls of partition and separation amongst our selves? |
A77494 | And then why may not they take liberty to set up their Way, as well as others theirs? |
A77494 | And was there not so in most of those first, and famous Schisms of the Church? |
A77494 | And what is the matter? |
A77494 | And what was it about? |
A77494 | And what was the pretended ground of that their separation? |
A77494 | And what( I pray you) were Peter and Barnabas? |
A77494 | And what? |
A77494 | And why so? |
A77494 | Are we convinced that God is present in our Congregations? |
A77494 | But are there any amongst us which are not so? |
A77494 | But are there any such among us that should give ground to such an Adjuration? |

A77494 | But, alas, What meaneth the lowing of the oxen, and the bleating of the sheep? |
A77494 | Did you ever hear more earnestnesse in any cause? |
A77494 | Discipline? |
A77494 | Get thee up( saith the Lord) wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? |
A77494 | Have we a mixture in our Communion? |
A77494 | Have we any love to Jesus Christ, any regard to his Authority, any respect to his Honor and Glory? |
A77494 | Have we met with him, had communion with him in his Word and Sacraments there? |
A77494 | Have we our selves had some clear and comfortable visions of God there? |
A77494 | Have wee some some scandalous persons tolerated amongst us? |
A77494 | Here is Division, how shall that be cured but by Vnity? |
A77494 | Here is confusion, and how shall that be cured, but by Order? |
A77494 | Here( in the first place) let it be enquired, whether the purging which our Brethren desire, be such as the word requires or no? |
A77494 | How beautiful, how glorious would this render them? |
A77494 | How dare any forsake that Church, which God hath not forsaken? |
A77494 | How dolorous a thing is it to all the sensible members of this body? |

A77494 | How is it then that man is so far degenerated, that he is so prone to division? |
A77494 | How many Physicians have had her in hand? |
A77494 | How may Schism for the future be prevented? |
A77494 | How shall we come to this unity of Language? |
A77494 | How should the work of the Lord now go on? |
A77494 | I, but how shall both we and you attain to it? |

A77494 | In the Civil state, how many divisions and fractions have broke in at this door? |
A77494 | In the Ecclesiastical state, in the businesse of the Church, what a stop, what a hinderance hath this been? |
A77494 | Indangered? |
A77494 | Is Christ divided? |
A77494 | Is it likely that such men should be deceived? |
A77494 | Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? |
A77494 | No divisions? |
A77494 | No( say some of that way)? |
A77494 | No? |
A77494 | Now how may that be done? |
A77494 | Now if he be here, how dare any withdraw? |
A77494 | Now if so, shall wee question whether here be true Churches of Christ or no? |
A77494 | Now let me aske this question, What was it that made Leah Jacobs wife? |
A77494 | Now then( saith he) Quis dubitaverit? |
A77494 | Now to break this unity, to divide the Spouse of Christ, as the Levites Concubine was, into many p ● ices, what a shame is this? |
A77494 | Now what is that bond of Peace? |
A77494 | Now where this is, shall wee question whether there be a true Church or no? |
A77494 | Now who will deny these appurtenances to our Churches? |
A77494 | O Ephrain ●, what shall I do unto thee? |
A77494 | O Iuda, what shall I do unto thee? |
A77494 | Or despise ye the Church of God? |
A77494 | Separate from a reforming Church? |
A77494 | The Church of Rome challengeth us, that wee are no true Ministers: Why? |
A77494 | The Churches sayls were filled with a fair gale for Reformation, but this Remora how hath it stayed her course? |
A77494 | The Prophet Amos puts the Question, Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
A77494 | The Separatist on the other hand, hee cryes out upon us, Wee are no true Ministers: Why? |
A77494 | The Text confines me to the later: Of those, how many every- where? |
A77494 | The people of the Jews how did they requite the Lord, for all his fatherly mercies which he had shown to them? |
A77494 | Though a damnable Heresie, yet how did it flie like lightning? |
A77494 | True Churches? |

A77494 | What Ministers, what Churches would willingly have such measure meated to themselves? |
A77494 | What are not here the Pillars of Truth? |

A77494 | What then followeth? |
A77494 | What then, doth this Laodicean temper in the Church inforce a separation from it? |
A77494 | What then? |
A77494 | What would not the godly party on both sides, have given to have bought them of? |
A77494 | What, may not people make choice of what Ministers they please, putting themselves under such a Ministry as by which they may edifie most? |
A77494 | What? |
A77494 | When God is building it up, then to be active in pulling it down? |
A77494 | When God is coming towards a Church, then to run away from it? |
A77494 | When God is turning his face towards it, then to turn our backs upon it? |
A77494 | Whence are ye my Brethren? |
A77494 | Whether here be a separation or no from these true Churches? |
A77494 | Which who so do, what do they therein but despise and contemn the Church of God? |
A77494 | Who art thou that dispisest the day of small things? |
A77494 | Who can make any doubt but that this was the more hainous sin, which was avenged with the more grievous punishment? |
A77494 | Why are not we joyned togeth ● ● in the same minde, and in the same judgement? |

A77494 | Why do we not speak the same thing? |
A77494 | Why not? |
A77494 | Why so? |
A77494 | Why, but are there any such? |
A77494 | Why, but, is this such an act of Injustice? |
A77494 | Why, wherein did they despise it? |
A77494 | Why? |
A77494 | Why? |
A77494 | Will you have a Definition, at least a Description of it? |
A77494 | Yes that it hath: What else means that known charge, Come out of her my people? |
A77494 | Yet are they tolerable? |
A77494 | You intend a separation in your Churches, and what do we more? |
A77494 | doth this inforce a necessity of Separation? |
A77494 | what shall we do, that we may come to this onenesse of heart? |
A70371 | , that those who now support them in point of Livelihood in the way they are in, would do the same in the other way, as that Author conjectures? |
A70371 | 21? |
A70371 | 28. saith in the same case) what meaneth the lowing of the Oxen, and the bleating of the Sheep? |
A70371 | 34. where he saith, Hath not God his Church, even where corruption of Manners hath crept into a Church, if purity of Doctrine be maintained? |
A70371 | 492. doth observe? |
A70371 | All Christendom, except Malignants in England, do now see, that the Question in England is, Whether Christ or Antichrist shall be Lord and King? |
A70371 | And are not these the thoughts of the wisest in this Nation? |
A70371 | And if you still persist to demand, why it was not thought so before 62? |
A70371 | And in this sense we shall not need to grutch the Church of Rome the name of a true Church; if not so, why do we call her a Church? |
A70371 | And is it not far better for Authority to depend upon Religion, than Religion upon Authority? |
A70371 | And is sep ● ration from that Church lawful, from which God doth not separate? |
A70371 | And is separation from that Church lawful, from which God doth not separate? |
A70371 | And may they continue Orthodox notwithstanding, and we for such an escape be counted Heretical? |
A70371 | And then what would become of them and their Families? |
A70371 | And to make all sure, because it may be objected, That the People have liberty in this case of complaining; he answers, To what purpose? |
A70371 | And when it is objected there, The Parliament hath given full Power and Authority for Ordination,& c. They answer, For what, Sir? |
A70371 | And whence is it, that they will run the adventure, and care not what they expose us to? |
A70371 | Are not our Congregations true Churches? |
A70371 | Are there no Places in England and Wales, that do much more abound in Ignorance, than London, and the adjacent Parts? |
A70371 | Are they idle and ignorant? |
A70371 | Are they yet to be taught, that as nothing can, so nothing will sooner make us a prey to them, than mutual Hostilities amongst our selves? |
A70371 | Are those like to convert Souls, that have neither will nor skill to deal with them about their Conversion? |
A70371 | Are ye not carnal? |
A70371 | But if the state of the People be indeed the reason, why do we not find them where there is most need of their Assistance? |
A70371 | But is it really thus, that there is any such difference betwixt the Abilities of their and our Teachers? |
A70371 | But is not that now true, which he there charges upon themselves, We have gone against the Letter of it? |
A70371 | But is this really the case? |
A70371 | But supposing that they could thus far condescend, yet do you make nothing of the Apostles necessity, and woe is me? |
A70371 | But what are those Points that our Ministers thus differ among themselves, or from our Church in? |
A70371 | But what credit can we give to such a Declaration? |
A70371 | But what need I go so far about, when this is not onely acknowledged, but defended? |
A70371 | But what occasion hath our Church given for this Out- cry? |
A70371 | Could not Mr. Calamy remove from St. Edmondsbury to Rochford, and from Rochford to Aldermanbury, as he himself doth declare in his Apologie? |
A70371 | Could not Mr. Jenkin remove from Black- Fryers to Christ- church, without all this disorder? |
A70371 | Did not these Reverend Ministers see the Pattern of Gods House? |
A70371 | Did the Apostle, because of the sinful mixtures in the Church of Corinth, direct the Faithful to separate? |
A70371 | Do not the Nonconformists as much differ from each other, as any amongst us? |
A70371 | Do we not find some of themselves forced to acknowledge as much? |
A70371 | For what Reasons may a Church be separated from, and Persons be justified in it? |
A70371 | For what though Pastors and People are the Constitutive Essentials of a true Church? |
A70371 | For, can they think, because they agree against us, that they will agree among themselves? |
A70371 | From whence then proceed those most excellent and laborious Sermons that the Wisest of the Nation do so extol the present Generation for? |
A70371 | Hath not God his Chur ● h, even w ● ● re corruption of Manners hath cr ● pt into a Church, i ● purity of Doctrine be maintained? |

A70371 | How many Physicians have had her in hand, Luther,& c. and the rest of our pious Reformers? |
A70371 | How may Schism be prevented? |
A70371 | How shall this Vnity be attained? |
A70371 | I mean, the confused noise of our lesser and greater Divisions? |
A70371 | In what Ordinance is this Power given to any but the City of London? |
A70371 | Is Schism all on a sudden grown so innocent a thing, that Persons are to be indulged, and tamely permitted to continue in it? |
A70371 | Is a Vow and Dedication to preach the Gospel, no reason to preach it elsewhere, when it''s forbidden in your Assemblies? |
A70371 | Is it about the mode in Imputation, or about the Object of Predestination? |
A70371 | Is it about the special Grace of God in the conversion of a Sinner, or the influence of the Holy Spirit in it? |
A70371 | Is it for the Matter, or the Form of its Prayers? |
A70371 | Is it that Rome is nearer to them, than they are to us? |
A70371 | Is it that by bringing all to confusion, and a common scramble, they may hope to go away with the Supremacy? |
A70371 | Is it that they expect better Quarter from that, than they meet with from our Church? |
A70371 | Is the alienation of Consecrated Persons no Sacrilege? |
A70371 | Is there no good to be done by preaching to Five, besides a Mans own Family, and by Personal Conference and Instruction? |
A70371 | Jane?] |
A70371 | Must not he who will forbear Communion with a Church, till it be altogether freed from mixtures, tarry till the day of Judgement? |
A70371 | Nay,( Sir) are we for the elder ▪ Brother of it, the Presbyterial Form? |
A70371 | Now do you not think that such as these are able Champions, and fit to enter the Lists of Controversie, that take up things by hear- say? |
A70371 | Or, can they think, if they do not, that one alone can carry the Victory from the Common Enemy? |
A70371 | Seaman, Mr. Calamy,& c. and the People with them, were true Churches? |
A70371 | Seaman,& c. remove, or be removed from a People, but all this mischief follows, that Ministers are presently degraded, and Churches dissolved? |
A70371 | So Paul urgeth it, Is Christ divided? |
A70371 | Suppose there should be some Humane mixtures, are all the Ordinances polluted? |
A70371 | That the Nonconformists have found, that some Places of many Years past have had no Ministers at all? |
A70371 | What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
A70371 | What relief will this be to those that contract a new Relation, and that do gather Churches out of Churches? |

A70371 | What then remains, but a cutting off? |
A70371 | What though there are some failings in the execution, through some unhappy obstructions in the exercise of Discipline? |

A70371 | What, are not here the Pillars of Truth? |
A70371 | Where have you lived all this while, that are yet to learn in so necessary a Point of Casuistical Divinity? |
A70371 | Whether they do not better, that stay in the Church to reform it, when it may be reformed, than to quit it for fear to be deformed in it? |
A70371 | Why do you not communicate with them in those Ordinances which are pure? |
A70371 | Would not this appear very conceited and imaginary? |
A70371 | and are the Nonconformists there to be met with? |
A70371 | and doth he that forsakes ours for theirs, find the case much amended? |
A70371 | and how comes the Apostles Wo to be pleaded for the one, and not to bind the other? |
A70371 | and shall Men yet continue to keep up Feuds and Animosities, and make no scruple of contradicting themselves to feed them? |
A70371 | and that the obtaining apparent Advantages to their Salvation in that respect, above what they could have had with us, is what they separate for? |
A70371 | is that a reason to forsake our Communion? |
A70371 | or think you it fit, after so sacred a Character as that of Ordination, that they can clear themselves if they neglect it? |
A70371 | or to chuse Elders? |

A70371 | — Have we met with him? |
A70371 | — Now if he be here, how dare any withdraw? |
A70371 | — What, separate from a reforming Church? |
A70371 | — where the Light of Gods Truth is set up and held forth, for the guiding of passengers in the way to Eternal Life? |
A27028 | 2. and 3. which are Covenants to them? |
A27028 | 23. ordain Elders in every Church? |
A27028 | Abraham''s Servant did it by putting his hand under his thigh: Was this a common Law, or Institution? |
A27028 | And did he bid them not judg each other for idolatry? |
A27028 | And doth not he do so, that calleth them Idolaters? |
A27028 | And if these be not worth the disputing with, it seems, that you differ from them more than Separatists do: and then were not all these Schismaticks? |
A27028 | And is it Edifying to read such a discourse, that saith and unsaith by self- contradiction? |
A27028 | And is not Agreement a humane Contract? |

A27028 | And whether they are Friends to Mankind? |
A27028 | And who denyeth this? |
A27028 | And why can not they? |
A27028 | And why may there not be distinct Politick Bodies, or Compound in one whole as well as natural? |
A27028 | And why then should their own Books be so valued? |
A27028 | Another Instance is, the use of helps, or written Words; Whether one shall use Notes in Preaching, and read them, or not? |
A27028 | Are all that dwell in the Parish or Diocess your Church members? |
A27028 | Are not the Takers of it obliged? |
A27028 | As Whole and Parts? |
A27028 | Baptism delivereth men possession of Pardon, Grace and right to Glory; and can men have this against their wills? |

A27028 | Do we owe no Love to any Christians, but such as is due to Idolaters? |
A27028 | Do you Swear Canonical obedience as much to the Bishop of Paris, or Haffnia,& c. as to your Ordinary? |
A27028 | Do you yet see no Priviledges that one hath Proper, and not common to all? |
A27028 | Do your Bishops in Convocation make Canon Laws for all the World? |
A27028 | Doth he not deny that Communion of the Saints, which is an Article of the Creed? |
A27028 | Doth he not directly rush into the Sin which, he condemneth adding to God''s Laws, and saying he forbids what he forbids not? |
A27028 | Doth not this directly destroy the Church by Dissolution? |
A27028 | Have they all things common? |

A27028 | If it be where Princes are Orthodox, do they make all the People Judges of their Princes Orthodoxness? |
A27028 | If many Students may make one Colledge, why may not many Colledges make one University? |
A27028 | If not, put them not on it: Why are you angry with them for going from you? |
A27028 | If not, why are all the Nonconformists cast out that offer to officiate and Communicate on such terms as are common to all sound Churches? |
A27028 | If one from York or Cornwall come into your Pulpit without consent, do People stand as much related to him as to you? |
A27028 | If so, God requireth us not to take any of you for our Bishops or Pastors: Who then requireth it? |
A27028 | If so, what a case was the East in by the difference between Chrysostome and his Competitors? |
A27028 | If the Exercise must be in particular Churches, must not men Consent to their Relations and Duties? |
A27028 | If those that heard not a Sermon in many years differed not from your Congregation, why do you preach? |
A27028 | Is every Christian bound on pain of Damnation to know all these, and then to examine and judge Bishops and Priests accordingly? |
A27028 | Is every Priest the Vniversal Church, or an essential part of it? |
A27028 | Is it a sin to Promise Duty? |
A27028 | Is it all difference in the Integrals or Accidents? |
A27028 | Is it all want of Love, or all Vncharitableness to one another? |
A27028 | Is it any renuntiation of Baptism to promise at Ordination to obey the Arch- Bishop and Bishop, and to take the Oath of Canonical Obedience? |
A27028 | Is it because we disown any Numerical Rulers? |
A27028 | Is it called Divine only as made by God, or as commanded by God and made by Man, or as mutual? |
A27028 | Is it enough that it be of Men? |
A27028 | Is it not a work of Satan to destroy Love, and to render almost all Christians odious? |
A27028 | Is it not still exacted? |
A27028 | Is it not worse falsly to father a Law on him? |

A27028 | Must the World at last learn that Whole and Parts are not distinct? |
A27028 | No, man then is out of the Church that is not out of the Baptismal Covenant, either by not taking it, or by renouncing some Essential part of it? |
A27028 | Or that did not implicitely trust all the Priests that he ordained? |

A27028 | Reader, doth not this man here confess that there are particular Churches? |
A27028 | That Idolaters were acceptable to God, or approved of men? |
A27028 | Then the Baptized are still in Communion with the Church, till their baptism be nullified: And hath he proved us Apostates? |
A27028 | They that followed the Bishop, or they that separated from him and kept to the Ca ● ● ● ● hedral? |
A27028 | Vbi Episcopus ibi Ecclesia: Who were the Separatists? |
A27028 | Vnion and Communion, taking Communion for Actual Communication, or exercise of the duties of men in Union? |
A27028 | Was he then a Schismatick? |
A27028 | What if the Alexandrians, when Athanasius was banisned by, Constantine himself, were half for him, and half against him? |
A27028 | What the meaning of this great, Decantate Word[ Separate] is; must anon be enquired: But, may not Churches be distinct and not culpably separate? |
A27028 | What, I say, if the People now mistooke who had the best Title? |
A27028 | Whether he separated from himself or his Church? |
A27028 | Whether there he be a Subject to Dr. Stillingfleet as his Pastor, and bound to obey him? |
A27028 | Whether these men are for the Unity of England? |
A27028 | Who ever ordained a man against his will? |
A27028 | Who would have thought that we are more for the Liturgy than he? |
A27028 | Why are we ruined for not covenanting as aforesaid? |
A27028 | Why doth the Canon suspend those that receive them to Communion from another Parish that hath no Preacher? |
A27028 | Will any Divine Covenant serve? |
A27028 | against humane Church Forms? |
A27028 | and France, about the Archbishops of Rhemes, when he was put out that deposed Ludovicus 4. and when an Infant was put in, and oft besides? |
A27028 | and can any wonder if Rulers should think the Punishment of Murderers is not worse than we deserve? |
A27028 | and doth he not Preach Christians into the hatred of each other? |
A27028 | and tempt weak Christians into sinful Separations, Divisions, Slanders, Judgings, Murmurings, Envies, which are the fruits of the flesh? |
A27028 | and then, are not you a Schismatick if you communicate with them? |
A27028 | are not Covenants imposed on all that will be Ministers in the act of Uniformity? |
A27028 | are not multitudes kept out and cast out for not making these Covenants? |
A27028 | as in Zeno''s and Anastasius Reign,& c. And what shall they do when many Churches in one City are of divers Tongues, as well as Customs? |
A27028 | if yea, then is it against Baptism to promise to do our duty? |
A27028 | is it all difference in the Essentials of Christianity? |
A27028 | or Rom ▪ 15. or bid them receive Idolaters, as Christ received us? |
A27028 | or for any man to have Title against his will, to the proper oversight and pastoral care of any one Pastor, or the priviledges of any Church? |
A27028 | or if they mistake one or more mens Commission, do they therefore separate from the Catholick Church? |
A27028 | or is the damning dangerous Engine made since?) |
A27028 | or must it not be only the Baptismal Covenant? |
A27028 | or when the Chorepiscopi were put down, where they had been? |
A27028 | or whether many out of his Diocess( thousands) may not as Lawfully dwell half the Year in London as he? |
A27028 | perswaded the continuance of it, did the universal Church separate from it self and Christ? |
A27028 | sure now they should be Christians? |
A27028 | yea, fathering on him Laws more rigorous than the Jewish, as disowning Christ''s Church as Idolators and false Worshippers? |
A49123 | & c.] doth not the question deserve to be answered with the rod? |
A49123 | ( How much more then to respect their lawful Bishops and Pastors?) |
A49123 | 2. Who knows not how fair a game the Papists have to play by our divisions? |
A49123 | And as for the Roman Church what should make them Schismaticks? |
A49123 | And did not our Saviour foretel his Disciples how they should be hated and persecuted for his sake? |
A49123 | And shall they use our hands to do their work? |
A49123 | And what peace, what quietness is like to be in the world, when the sword of vengeance must be drawn about these things? |
A49123 | And who knows into what confusions such practices may carry us? |
A49123 | Are Temples, Fonts, Utensils, Church- lands, much more Ministers holy? |
A49123 | Are all religious and private Meetings forbidden by Rulers, unlawful Coventicles? |
A49123 | As for probabilities, what thing was there ever set down so agreeable with sound reason, but some probable shew against it might be made? |
A49123 | Building the Church is but an orderly joyning of the materials, and what then is disjoyning but pulling down? |
A49123 | But Quousque tandem? |
A49123 | But St. Chrysostome on Hebrews 10. asks how God came to command it? |
A49123 | But first I will lay together some Propositions for decision of the Controversie; How far we are bound to obey Mens Precepts about Religion? |
A49123 | But it will be demanded, wherein that faith of Abel which is so commended did consist? |
A49123 | But what if I can not communicate, but according to the administration of the Common- prayer book? |
A49123 | But what if I can not communicate, unless I conform to an imposed gesture, as kneeling? |
A49123 | But what if there be gross and scandalous sinners are members of the Church? |
A49123 | But what if they are sins committed in the open Assembly, even by the Minister himself in his praying, preaching, and other administrations? |
A49123 | But what if they to whose care the execution of the publick service is committed, do some things unseemly, suspicious, or unlawful? |
A49123 | Can that be Conscience that causeth men to strain at a Gnat and swallow Camels? |
A49123 | Consider also what yielding in things lawful the Scripture recommendeth to us? |
A49123 | Do not you condemn a carnal state? |
A49123 | Do you not hate Superstition? |
A49123 | Especially in case we doubt of the lawfulness of obeying them? |
A49123 | For what is Conscience but a mans judgment concerning things and actions according to Gods Word, and Right Reason inlightned and directed thereby? |
A49123 | For why should your houses be dearer to you, than the Church, which is the house of God? |
A49123 | For, p. 208. he seems with some passion to interrogate, Why might it not be lawful to go to Church with the Donatists? |
A49123 | Hath God spoke more against any sin than unpeaceableness? |
A49123 | How can you prove, that the authority, that made, or imposed the Liturgy, meant any other thing? |
A49123 | How destructive are the curses of such men, when their prayers, their best wishes are for destruction? |
A49123 | How far yielded Paul when he circumcised Timothy? |
A49123 | How few separated Churches do now exist, that were in being an hundred years ago, can you name any? |
A49123 | How is the Holy Ghost given to Infants in Baptism? |
A49123 | How was this Schisme of the Donatists refuted? |
A49123 | Is it certain by the Word of God, that all Infants baptized, and dying before actual sin, are undoubtedly saved? |
A49123 | Is it conscience that teacheth men to scruple at Ceremonies, and to omit the weighty matters of the Law? |
A49123 | Is it lawful to bow at the name of Jesus? |
A49123 | Is it lawful to read the Apocrypha or Homilies? |
A49123 | Is it lawful to subscribe or profess full assent and consent to any religious books, beside the Bible, seeing all are fallible? |
A49123 | Is it not a Sin for our Clerks, to make themselves the mouth of the people? |
A49123 | Is not censoriousness and rash judging a sin? |
A49123 | Is not this name sometime fixed upon good and honest Meetings? |
A49123 | Many doctrial differences must be tolerated in a Church, and why, but for unity and peace? |
A49123 | Mark, Is it not more of the women and apprentices that are of this mind, than of old experienced Christians? |
A49123 | May the Communion Tables be turned Altarwise? |
A49123 | May the name, Priests, Sacrifice and Altars, be lawfully used? |
A49123 | May the people bear a vocal part in Worship, and do any more than say Amen? |
A49123 | May we communicate with unworthy persons? |
A49123 | May we lawfully swear obedience, in all things lawful and honest, either to Usurpers, or to our lawful Pastors? |
A49123 | May, or must a Minister, silenced, or forbid to preach the Gospel, go on still to preach it against the Law? |
A49123 | No; for why should Men desire to do that suspiciously in private, which warrantably may be performed in publick? |
A49123 | Now how can these two assertions be reconciled? |
A49123 | Now our Author, p. 200. moves the question, Who shall judge what is a necessary occasion of separation? |
A49123 | Or can they pretend conscience for despising the prayers of the Church, who at the same time reject our Lords prayer also? |
A49123 | Quis erit Schismatum modus, si promiscua dissentio ad secessionem sufficit? |
A49123 | The Papists condemn us for castrating as much as was thought sinful, must we be still condemned for retaining what is decent? |
A49123 | The Question is, who should judge what is a necessary Occasion of Separation? |
A49123 | Though in this Schism the Donatist was the Schismatick, yet might not any one communicate with them, if occasion so required? |
A49123 | Thus also it is that they put off Family- prayer, and ask,[ Where are they bound to pray in their Family Morning and Evening?] |
A49123 | WHat is the benefit of Communion? |
A49123 | Was the Schisme of the Donatists any way excusable? |
A49123 | What confusion will be brought into the Church if Pastors be not obeyed in things lawful? |
A49123 | What high Professors were the proudest overturners of all Government, and resisters and despisers of Ministry and holy order in the Churches? |
A49123 | What if the Preacher deliver any Doctrine of the truth of which we are not well perswaded? |
A49123 | What if those to whose care the Execution of the publick service is committed, do something either unseemly or suspicious, or peradventure unlawful? |
A49123 | What is Sacriledge? |
A49123 | What is the danger of Schism? |
A49123 | What is the definition of Schism? |
A49123 | What is the reason of the severe Censures and Laws against private Meetings? |
A49123 | What is the true meaning of Sponsors or Godfathers, and is it lawful to make use of them? |
A49123 | What is the use and authority of the Creed? |
A49123 | What is your Opinion of Conventicles? |
A49123 | What other Rule is necessary to be observed? |
A49123 | When is Schisme complete? |
A49123 | When is Separation necessary? |
A49123 | Whence is Persecution, but from thinking ill of others, and abhorring or not loving them? |
A49123 | Whether the Laws of men do bind the Conscience? |
A49123 | White, Willet,& c. yea and the Martyrs too? |
A49123 | Who can without indignation recount the horrible villanies and mischiefs that have been acted in our Generation under this pretence? |
A49123 | Yea, why may I not go to an Arian Church, if occasion require, so there be no Arianism expressed in the Liturgy? |
A49123 | and do not you do so by those whom you causlesly separate from? |
A49123 | and is it lawful to come up to the rails to communicate? |
A49123 | and p. 215. why may I not go if occasion require to an Arrian Church? |
A49123 | and railed in? |
A49123 | and so can not obey them in faith? |
A49123 | and what is it to dissolve Churches, but to break their association, to reduce them to individuals, to cut them into shreds? |
A49123 | and what reverence is due to them, as Holy? |
A49123 | and would you have all the Churches of Christ to be dissolved? |
A49123 | as Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper himself, Farrar, Bradford, Fillpot, Sanders,& c. Could I separate from all these on the Reasons now in question? |
A49123 | but in what rank( saith he) shall we place the Masters of this heresie? |
A49123 | if their Garments be censured as, or indeed be superstitious? |
A49123 | is it of the Apostles framing or not? |
A49123 | or had it been a fit option to wish that they might all perish? |
A49123 | or to be examined by him in order to a baptism or Lords supper? |
A49123 | or your Souls, which are the Temples of the Holy Ghost? |
A49123 | so to abhor a Ceremony as to commit Sacriledge, and rob the Church of Christ of his last and best Legacy, that of Peace? |
A49123 | to start at a shadow and throw themselves over Precipices? |
A49123 | to such Men, as Mr. Bolton, Whateley, Fenner, Dent, Crook, Dike, Stock, Smith, Dr. Preston, Sibbs, Stoughton, Taylor, and abundance other such? |
A49123 | what if the Garments they wear be censured as, nay indeed be Superstitious? |
A49123 | what if the Gesture of Adoration be used at the Altar? |
A49123 | what if the Homilist or Preacher deliver any Doctrine, of the truth of which we are not well perswaded? |
A49123 | what if the Homilist or Preacher deliver any doctrine, of the truth of which we be not well perswaded? |
A49123 | what if the gesture of Adoration be used at the Altar? |
A49123 | why may I not be present at such publick Meetings as pretend Holiness, so there be nothing done but what true Devotion and Piety brook? |
A49123 | would they not rather side against him,( as their Predecessors have done?) |
A36244 | 1 thought inconsistent, among the Jews, with their Unity as derived from one Altar? |
A36244 | 3 But is Unity in this World at least a Temporary Design? |
A36244 | 6 to be added on this Argument that has not yet been sufficiently explained? |
A36244 | 9 where had then been the Idolatry of worshiping those Angels? |
A36244 | Accordingly he asks, Where is that College that governs you? |
A36244 | And can this be any other than a secular Peace that was here spoken of? |
A36244 | And could he expect to prevail on them by any thing that, by the Principles of that Age, would have been owned as SCHISMATICAL? |
A36244 | And do not our Bishops plead the same Argument of Succession? |
A36244 | And have we yet less efficacy in the conveyance of his Invisible and Heavenly Influences? |
A36244 | And how could he think that we could own a Government from a Body which we did not believe any where existent? |
A36244 | And how could they do otherwise when they thought them to have no Interest in the Prayers and Intercession of Christ himself? |
A36244 | And how do they do it? |
A36244 | And is not such a Constitution as naturally conducive still to the maintenance of an external Unity, as it was then, and will it not be so for ever? |
A36244 | And is not this distinction as necessary as ever for the External Administration of things, and the preservation of an external Unity? |
A36244 | And must they not therefore have a nearer Relation to the Original Heavenly Mysteries? |
A36244 | And must we take them for Friends of Souls who are guilty of it? |
A36244 | And on the contrary, how much was Josephus concerned for his Brethren in Alexandria, in their Troubles under the Praefectship of Tiberius Alexander? |
A36244 | And then how could I have defended our own Churches from SCHISM, as being divided from the Principle of Unity? |
A36244 | And then what difficulty was there then more than now why whole Cities might not communicate with the Bishops? |
A36244 | And was it not as necessary that they should understand those Writings which were primarily designed for their Use as that we should understand them? |
A36244 | And was not this whole Reasoning as cogent in the case of Christian SCHISMATICKS? |
A36244 | And what can be indeed more formidable to truly conscientious persons? |
A36244 | And what can be more intimate to Beings than their Essence? |
A36244 | And what can be, if this be not, momentous? |
A36244 | And what can our Adversaries pretend why it should not still be allowed for good Reasoning now and for ever? |
A36244 | And what could it be for, if not to partake of their Sacrifices? |
A36244 | And what has Mr. Baxter to say to this way of Reasoning? |
A36244 | And what will then become of the greatest part of Mr. Baxter''s Reasonings? |
A36244 | BUT what relation has this Question to my Charge of SCHISM against the Nonconformists? |
A36244 | But against whom was this resentment? |
A36244 | But can they indeed think that Representation was all, and that Application was not designed also? |
A36244 | But can they pretend the like Change under the Gospel? |
A36244 | But if they can prove none of them, how can they pretend to prove the antiquating of this Sacrament? |
A36244 | But was it so to unite them among themselves as to divide them from those of their own Nation in Palestine? |
A36244 | But what can be requisite for deriving this appointment at a distance but an uninterrupted Succession from them who had it immediately? |
A36244 | But what greater warning could they expect than the great moment of the thing? |
A36244 | But where are the nine? |
A36244 | But where can he find it so when the number of Myriads is so distinctly expressed as it is here? |
A36244 | Can SCHISM become less Criminal in our Age than it was formerly? |
A36244 | Can Truth cease to be Truth, or SCHISM to be SCHISM? |
A36244 | Can our Altar and Priesthood be Mysteries to them as shadowed by their Altar and Priesthood? |
A36244 | Can they plead Ignorance, when Evidence is offered, and rejected by them? |
A36244 | Can they say they were not aware of their Duty even of examining it? |
A36244 | Can they think Unity it self a Temporary thing, especially that Unity which is invisible? |
A36244 | Can they think that Christ made no Provision for the Preservation of this External Peace so designed by him? |
A36244 | Certainly of much more Authority than that of any present inspiration of any Prophet in his life- time? |
A36244 | Could he therefore unwillingly mistake Us? |
A36244 | Did God provide greater Obligations to secure a dependence on the Priesthood of the Law than that of the Gospel? |
A36244 | Does the Gospel foretel any further later Days wherein it s own Constitutions shall be antiquated also? |
A36244 | For how could the Soul have any notion of God, unless he had inspired, and as much as possible united himself to it? |
A36244 | For what relation could his bringing forth Bread and Wine have with his Priesthood, if not as the proper Sacrifice which concerned him as a Priest? |
A36244 | For wherein shall it be known here, that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? |
A36244 | How could this be if the Appropriation had not been mutual? |
A36244 | How had it been whoredom in them to follow other Gods if they had not been obliged to him alone for their God as a Wife is to her Husband? |
A36244 | How heartily was Philo interessed in the Troubles of the Palestine Jews under Petronius in the time of Caius? |
A36244 | How mu ● h more such a Prophet as Isaiah? |
A36244 | How much less can they pretend to do it by any Parity of Reasoning with those of the Primitive Christians? |
A36244 | How much more in a Writing, which was a standing Rule to their Church of Authority not inferior to that of the Law it self? |
A36244 | How requisite therefore was it that the grounds on which themselves believed should be solid and substantial? |
A36244 | How so? |
A36244 | How then can we believe his frequent Protestations of his readiness to receive Conviction? |
A36244 | How then is it possible, by his Principles, that there could be any Priest or Altar in a City independent on the Bishop? |
A36244 | How was it possible they could have had that reverence for the name of the High Priest if they had themselves been engaged in a SCHISM against him? |
A36244 | How would it have exposed them to the common Enemies of their Profession? |
A36244 | How would it have scandalized and hardened them against all Conviction? |
A36244 | If God did not confine them then, why must the Samaritans lose them for losing their Union to the Levitical Priesthood? |
A36244 | If he does also now, how can SCHISMATICKS come by them now who are divided from the Priesthood of the Gospel? |
A36244 | If not, what Obligation will remain for any to enter into the Covenant, if they may enjoy the Benefits without it? |
A36244 | If that had been possible for him, and they had thought him so obliged; what need had there been of so many Assistants? |
A36244 | Is it not in that thou goest with us? |
A36244 | Is it possible that the nature of things can be changed? |
A36244 | Is it the moment of the thing? |
A36244 | Is not the Bishop as apt as ever to signifie a Principle of Unity, and to represent God and Christ under the Notion of a Head? |
A36244 | Is not the Sacrament it self of a perpetual Use, and as seasonable now as formerly? |
A36244 | Must none ever move who is not able to account for all the Arguments against the Possibility of Motion? |
A36244 | Must we therefore think that they who were at a distance from Jerusalem thought themselves unconcerned in those Sacrifices? |
A36244 | Nam quis magis Sacerdos Dei summi quàm Dominus noster Jesus Christus? |
A36244 | Nay, do not the same persons stile the Gospel the Everlasting Gospel, in opposition to the Temporariness of many of those Legal Constitutions? |
A36244 | Nay, does not his Monarchical Presidency over his Brethren of the Clergy peculiarly fit him for such a Signification? |
A36244 | Now to bring this home to the Eucharist, what is there that could be doubted of by any who lived in those times? |
A36244 | Now what necessity is there that our Adversaries can pretend why God should be obliged to decide such Controversies as these in the Scriptures? |
A36244 | Of what Use can his Objections be, either for disproving my Charge, or much less for answering my Arguments? |
A36244 | Or are the Evangelical Representations less efficacious than the Legal? |
A36244 | Or can they think that his Provisions were designed but Temporary for an End which he designed should be perpetual? |
A36244 | Or do they think them less of Divine Institution now than formerly? |
A36244 | Or have they any assurance of being more indulgently dealt with, if they should prove equally criminal? |
A36244 | Or if they can not deny but it was solid then, what can they say why it should not be so still? |
A36244 | Or is it probable that God should less confine his Mystical Favors to his external Ordinances now than under the Law? |
A36244 | Or that they are SCHISMATICKS, who dissent and disobey this Supremacy? |
A36244 | Quis putat esse nefas nosci, quod cernere fas est? |
A36244 | That it should be unlawful to worship God at Mount Gerizim, or at Jerusalem? |
A36244 | That question of the Shunamite''s Husband,( what she had to do with the Prophet, seeing it was neither New Moon, nor Sabbath?) |
A36244 | Thereupon our Saviour himself makes this Observation: Were there not ten cleansed? |
A36244 | Was it then thought expedient in order to the preservation of this External Unity to confederate them into a Body Politick? |
A36244 | Was not Providence, at least, as much concerned for Them as for Us? |
A36244 | Was there no Application in those Representations under the Law? |
A36244 | Was this Blessing designed only for a while? |
A36244 | Was this indeed the glorious Privilege of the Segullah to have great things only represented to them? |
A36244 | Were they gathered from all Nations in the Christian World? |
A36244 | What Bitternesses and Emulations would it have caused among themselves? |
A36244 | What Divisions into considerable Fractions? |
A36244 | What Sanctity could have been in such a Priest, tho he had been more Lawful, and Onias more Unlawful than indeed they were? |
A36244 | What Slanders and Reproaches and mutual Recriminations? |
A36244 | What Weakenings of the common Interest by the inconsiderableness of the single Parties? |
A36244 | What can they say why this should not be a way as seasonable to the Circumstances of the present Age as it was in those of the Primitive Christians? |
A36244 | What could those Sacrifices be but the Sacrifices of the Brutes performed here below by the Priest, only represented in a more spiritual manner? |
A36244 | What is it then that may be trusted that they can pretend? |
A36244 | What is therefore in that whole Scheme that for the same Reason that made it seasonable then, will not be seasonable still, and for ever? |
A36244 | What is this but the very notion of their being the Segullah? |
A36244 | What is this else but exactly the Office of ordinary Priests in those Times? |
A36244 | What matter is it what Communion I my self am of if my Arguments prove them SCHISMATICKS for dividing from the Church of England? |
A36244 | What matter is it whether there were standing Altars in the several places of such Administrations? |
A36244 | What more had those earlyer Ages themselves to pretend for it? |
A36244 | What multitude was this but those who were disaffected to the prophane Alcimus, that is, who were indeed, at that time, on the more Orthodox side? |
A36244 | What other Art could the Enemy of Souls use for securing his Prey, than to make them senseless of their danger? |
A36244 | Where did I mention a word of the Terms either of Cassander or Grotius, as if I thought them sufficient for a lasting Peace? |
A36244 | Where did I say that the French Church are no Papists, whilst they own the Popish Communion? |
A36244 | Where did I say that the Pope ought to be Principium Unitatis? |
A36244 | Where did I say, that our Communion was with any part of the Roman Church, either Jesuited, or others? |
A36244 | Where, that the Councils of Constance or Basil were no Papists? |
A36244 | Wherein then consisted the material Benefit of those Representations? |
A36244 | Which way had you their Mandates? |
A36244 | Who compared their Votes? |
A36244 | Who sees not that by the one Priest they could not mean ordinary Ministers, but only the City- Bishop? |
A36244 | Who would not think by this that we of the Church of England did indeed defend Lying and Perjury? |
A36244 | Why should they not insist on their true Original from the Assyrian Dominions? |
A36244 | Why should this be if evidence of this kind were not, on all hands, owned for greater than can be expected for any positive Revelation? |
A36244 | Why so, but that he seems sensible that his own Principles would have made him do as they did, if he had lived in those Circumstances? |
A36244 | Why so, if its Constitutions were also Temporary? |
A36244 | Why was our Father Abraham pronounced blessed? |
A36244 | With what ingenuity can his Brethren charge us with owning a foreign Jurisdiction, when what is 〈 ◊ 〉 where can not be foreign? |
A36244 | Wo unto us: who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? |
A36244 | Would he preface his Design with such Reflections as these, if his own design had been liable to the same Charge? |
A36244 | or in his Intercession by which his Father''s Displeasure was to be appeased, and which was grounded on that Sacrifice? |
A36244 | that can be doubted of even by our Brethren themselves? |
A59243 | ( Hold Doctor, the Testimonies should have told us that; why do you forestal them?) |
A59243 | 73? |
A59243 | Again, ask him whether those first three century of yeares treat of all late ▪ sprung Negatives? |
A59243 | Again, if the Metropolitan dissent from his own Primate or Patriarch, but agree with all the rest, is it yet schism? |
A59243 | And I pray( good Doctor) where did you read the Greek 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 explicated for honor or dignity? |
A59243 | And are not those punishable? |
A59243 | And how, think you? |
A59243 | And in what History do you finde such a dignity, as an Apostolical Seat in common? |
A59243 | And indeed how can you think those, who can not employ sufficient time to study out their Faith, should be otherwise instructed than by Credulity? |
A59243 | And was it not well done think you? |
A59243 | And what sin, or seeming to sin, is this, think you? |
A59243 | And who denies it? |
A59243 | Are none of these therefore Catholikes? |
A59243 | Are there any of these laws which are not equivalently in France, Spain, Germany; Nay Italy it selfe? |
A59243 | Ask him next, why hee recurs to such obscure times, and stark dumb in our present controversies? |
A59243 | Because( forsooth) not Peter alone, but James and John entrusted that charge to him: What a miserable Doctor is this? |
A59243 | Besides, suppose there had been neither Pope nor King, was there any impossibility that consent of Bishops might remove the Primacy to another See? |
A59243 | Besides, whom doe you call Christians? |
A59243 | But in a word, is not this renouncing the Pope the most essential point of your Reformation? |
A59243 | But let us ask first by whose interpretation of Scripture he will contest his Negatives? |
A59243 | But perhaps you would not have this method used in matters of Religion: And why not? |
A59243 | But the Doctor says they were early famous; I ask him, were they earlier than our Saviours chusing twelve Apostles, and Simon Peter the first? |
A59243 | But the Doctor will have the contrary a demonstration, and who can help it? |
A59243 | But what are those grounds in particular, by which he will contest his doctrines? |
A59243 | But what is become of the King or Emperour all this while, is he no body now, who before was the Chief? |
A59243 | But what''s all this to us? |
A59243 | But why onely foure? |
A59243 | But you complain for nothing; what persecution suffer you in England in comparison of the Catholikes? |
A59243 | But, to return to our six Testimonies: By what means, think you, does he make them speak to his purpose? |
A59243 | Can any man think he intendeth other then to mock his Auditory? |
A59243 | Can the beginning of such a vast power be obscure? |
A59243 | Could these things bee done without judging and despising? |
A59243 | Did not you persecute Puritans and Brownists? |
A59243 | Did they stick close to, and constantly claim their non subjection to the Pope, from Canons or Scripture? |
A59243 | Do you your obligation; why should their backwardnes in their duties make you deny yours? |
A59243 | Doctor, it is a wonderful commendation to your Church that she is yet to bee taught: Pray, when will she be at age to leave going to School? |
A59243 | Doctor, tell me what it is to acknowledge the foundation laid by Christ and his Apostles? |
A59243 | Doctor? |
A59243 | Doctor? |
A59243 | Doe wee professe the Pope can pretend no more than his right? |
A59243 | Doe you not now complain to bee persecuted by others? |
A59243 | Doe you not see our Priests, when discover''d, proceeded against as Traitors? |
A59243 | Doe you think it is uncharitablenesse to judge as our Saviour judg''d; that is, to beleeve what he said to be true? |
A59243 | Does he think the Unity of such a Head conduces nothing to the preservation of Unity in Faith, which yet he grants to a far more inferiour, Bishop? |
A59243 | Ergo Kings are supreme in Ecclesiastical affairs? |
A59243 | For Gods sake, Mr. Dr. whither would you have cast us? |
A59243 | For ask him, are those few Heads all that are necessary? |
A59243 | General Councils, and the consent of Christendome for twelve hundred yeares, and rely upon your own judgments to interpret the rest as you list? |
A59243 | Good Brother Doctor tell mee how we despise you? |
A59243 | Good Mr. Dr, whom should the Faithful beleeve in telling them the sence of Gods word, if not the Church? |
A59243 | Have not they as great an Authority as any private Patriarch, Primate, Arch- Bishop, Bishop, Dr. Hammond, or a Deacon? |
A59243 | How did the Ravennates behave themselves in the business? |
A59243 | How does he prove they were not Protestants? |
A59243 | How follows that? |
A59243 | How hast thon cut off thy self from so many flocks? |
A59243 | How know you it was usurpt? |
A59243 | How ridiculous, how impudent a manner of speaking and arguing is this? |
A59243 | How would you take it, if one should spit in your face, and justifie the affront, because his breath is sweet? |
A59243 | I pray then Master Doctor, why could not the Metropolitans have consecrated the first, as well as the others, if that signifie independency? |
A59243 | If it were so, how does that acquit you? |
A59243 | If not, how can we judge of them by Scripture, which speakes more obscurely of them? |
A59243 | If they be clearer in Scripture, what needed we those depositives at all, and to what end does that Apostolical Providence serve? |
A59243 | If this be so, what can justifie your bloody Lawes, and bloodier Execution, for the fourscore years you were in power? |
A59243 | Is Magistracy or Royalty rejected, when Pleas are commenced against Kings or Commonwealths, as going beyond their true Jurisdiction? |
A59243 | Is it perhaps the true sence of Scripture, but restrain''d to fundamentals? |
A59243 | Is it such an impossible matter for the meanest person that hath age enough, to know what doctrine was held by Christians ten yeares agoe? |
A59243 | Is it the true sence of the Scripture? |
A59243 | Is it to acknowledge Scripture? |
A59243 | Is not a Parliament the General Representative of the Nation, unless every Lord, though a known and condemn''d Rebel, be summon''d? |
A59243 | Is not the Papal Authority greater then the Authority of any Patriarch, Primate, Arch- Bishop, Bishop, Dr. Hammond, or a Deacon? |
A59243 | Is not this as evident as all History, and even our very eyes can witnesse a truth? |
A59243 | Is this man fit to be accounted 〈 ◊ 〉 expounder of Gods Word, who thus wilfull perverts, and purposely contradicts it? |
A59243 | Lastly, What became of the Jews which( a ● … is manifest in this eight and twentieth Chapter and twenty fourth verse) were converted by St. Paul? |
A59243 | Lastly, what is the Doctors intent in saying Christ did not appoint the Church of Rome conservatory( for ever) of all Christian truth? |
A59243 | Let the Bishop bee now asked, whether Kings deserve to bee deposed, and Monarchy it self ● rejected for such abuses as hee gathers against the Pope? |
A59243 | Let the testimony it self be what it will, what was the Doctor dreaming on when he produced it? |
A59243 | Look whether your Proselytes doe not rely even upon your private Authority? |
A59243 | Must they stand by, and look on while St. Paul converts all the Gentiles, and St. Peter all the Iews? |
A59243 | Next, does the Testimony say, That the Emperor priviledged them from subjection to the Pope, as Head of the Church? |
A59243 | Next, if a Bishop dissent from an heretical Metropolitan, but consents with a Catholick Patriarch, is it yet Schism? |
A59243 | Num potest obscurum esse initium tam immensae potentiae, praesertim si intra hominum memoriam nata sit? |
A59243 | Or, what follows hence? |
A59243 | Pray, by whom did she send them down and recommend them to you? |
A59243 | Secondly, What is become of General Councils all this while? |
A59243 | Suppose it were equally; what follows thence? |
A59243 | Surely all imagin so, but Dr. Hammond and his fellows; why is this over- slipt then, as if it were a matter of nothing? |
A59243 | The affairs of the Head depend on the Arms and Shoulders; therefore will the Doctor infer they are supreme or highest? |
A59243 | The fourth is from Optatus, noting it as a schismatical piece of language in the Donatists to say, Quod Imperatori cum Ecclesiâ? |
A59243 | Therefore St. Peter not chief of the Apostles? |
A59243 | Therefore what? |
A59243 | Thirdly, What is become of Schism against the Head of the Church? |
A59243 | To prove his position, he tells us, The Nations converted by St. Paul, were not to be ever subject to that Chair, where St. Paul sate? |
A59243 | To what purpose was it to bring such unnecessary and frivolous distinctions, and afterwards wave them? |
A59243 | Unlesse the Catholikes were once thus in you, how could you cast them out? |
A59243 | Was ever such a confusion heard of? |
A59243 | Was ever such an ID EST heard off? |
A59243 | Were ever such mistakes incident to any other man, as are natural to this Doctor? |
A59243 | Were wee, who now live, alive 900. yeares agoe? |
A59243 | What King now could bee so hard- hearted as to punish a Rebel defending himself with such a wise, solid, and rational plea? |
A59243 | What Laws make it Treason to become a Protestant, as they do to bee reconciled to the Catholike Religion? |
A59243 | What Priest was so bad, whom you were not ready to entertain with honour, if hee would take party with you? |
A59243 | What a desperate attempt then is it to bite at this bridle, and strive to put the whole Christian World in confusion? |
A59243 | What a terrible business is this? |
A59243 | What an Argument is here, to bring for an up- shot of his proofs, That the King is Head of the Church? |
A59243 | What an unpardonable blindness was this to prove St. Paul over the Gentiles onely, by a Testimony which entitles him to the whole entire Nation? |
A59243 | What difficulty in this? |
A59243 | What dignity had Ephesus for St. Iohus sitting in it, that the like should be given to Iustiniana? |
A59243 | What does the Dr? |
A59243 | What follows hence against St. Peters authority? |
A59243 | What is his meaning? |
A59243 | What is this man about, that hee so forgets the question? |
A59243 | What man living is able to withstand so potent and cunning an Adversary? |
A59243 | What means his All this? |
A59243 | What then? |
A59243 | What trivial stuff is this? |
A59243 | What will become of this malefactor, Master Doctor? |
A59243 | What''s this to the purpose, if none that have a true right, be excluded? |
A59243 | Where first, I would ask the Doctor in which of these words he places most force; in, Their Consecration by their own Suffragans, and by no other? |
A59243 | Where then is the Catholick Church, of which we ought to be members? |
A59243 | Whereas, what more ordinary then to plead two titles at Law,( as for example, birth- right, and a formerly- given judgment) for the same thing? |
A59243 | Who is so impertinent, as to quarrel at the generalness of a Parliament, if some Court ▪ Lords bee admitted to their Voices? |
A59243 | Who will not grant him this at the first word? |
A59243 | Who would not think he intended to treat the question in earnest, seeing him begin with so serious a Preamble? |
A59243 | Why the Lay- man, that harboured any such person, made liable to the same forseiture of estate and life? |
A59243 | Why were Baptisms, Churchings, Burials, Marriages, all punished? |
A59243 | Why were men forced to goe to your Synagogues under great penalties? |
A59243 | Will hee justifie, that if the m ● ● demeanours pretended against them had been true, the extirpation of Prelacy had been lawfull? |
A59243 | Will not any judicious Reader think such Rules as these like to binde all good Christians to bee concluded by them? |
A59243 | Would you throw the house out of the windowes? |
A59243 | Your second Quere is, Whether this were not done by him, before ever he came to Rome? |
A59243 | all that cry Lord, Lord, that is, professe the name of Christ, but deny the onely certain Rule to come to the knowledge of his Law? |
A59243 | are they in as little communication with the Pope, as Henry the eighth after his breach, or the Protestants in Q Elizabeths times? |
A59243 | because they persecuted Protestants: what then? |
A59243 | did St. Peter vote the contrary, and St. Iames his sentence oversway? |
A59243 | did not Luther persecute Carolstadius and Zuinglius? |
A59243 | doe they not now in Germany and other Countries? |
A59243 | of Rome was not appointed by Christ? |
A59243 | or are they who lived 900. years ago, alive now? |
A59243 | or does he think a legitimate Authority in common is rejected, when the particular faults of them who are in Authority are resisted? |
A59243 | or if the number of Voters in some Parliaments bee fewer than in others? |
A59243 | or is the question of this or that particular action of the Popes? |
A59243 | or unless every Member, that has a right to sit there, bee present? |
A59243 | or was his breach but the conservation of these Lawes, and wee began our Religion there? |
A59243 | or whether there may not easily bee made a collection of as many an I great misgovernments against the Court of England, or any other Country? |
A59243 | or why are not they Reformers as well as you? |
A59243 | such pitiful guessing Southsayers as you? |
A59243 | were not those Lawes in force in the beginning of Henry the eighths Reign? |
A59243 | what a weak reed you catch at to secure you from falling into the gulfe of Schism? |
A59243 | when will she be out of her prentice- like tutorage, and set up for her selfe to professe truth, as a Church should do? |
A59243 | will you make all these, Papists? |
A27054 | & 17. what have you but our common Catechism truths? |
A27054 | 1. Who have poisoned the Church and souls with more errors and more palpable, than the Papists who are most against Toleration? |
A27054 | All sin, and all discord is contrary to our desired concord, and is our reproach: But shall no sinners therefore be endured? |
A27054 | All the doubt then remaining is, whether your terms or those desired by us, are the true way of Love and Concord? |
A27054 | All will say, Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
A27054 | And Men will be inquisitive, By what Authority Subject Presbyters, and Diocesan Bishops and Churches were introduced after Scripture- times? |
A27054 | And as if his Flock which then was but a few hundreds must be no greater, when the Kingdoms of the world are become his Kingdoms? |
A27054 | And as the beloved Apostle saith, that GOD IS LOVE as a name which signifieth his essence, why may not the same be said of souls, which are his Image? |
A27054 | And briefly as to the rest, there is no Calvinist believeth that ever all the Churches will receive the Lutherane Consubstantiation or Church- Images? |
A27054 | And can it be expected that in such a world, particular Christians should be sound without their personal differences? |
A27054 | And could it then be expected that all Christians be of the same opinions in all things? |
A27054 | And doth not all this intimate the necessity of a Union of minds? |
A27054 | And had not the Holy Ghost skill to speak even things necessary in tolerable intelligible phrase? |
A27054 | And how can Christ make his Church, without uniting the members? |
A27054 | And how can we do the works of Love without Love? |
A27054 | And how come we to know that they were righter than the rest, that had it not? |
A27054 | And how doth he believe in Christ that believeth him not to be God, which is most eminently essential to him? |
A27054 | And how doth this Concord make it differ from a discordant odious noise? |
A27054 | And how many several species of Christianity( or faith) may be made in the world? |
A27054 | And how shall all these be able so to travel? |
A27054 | And is Piety and Christianity none of that? |
A27054 | And is there now any cause of discord here? |
A27054 | And it was not by these means, but by better causes, notwithstanding these diseases: so that as we answer the Question, Whether a Papist may be saved? |
A27054 | And must this be the only way of Universal Peace? |
A27054 | And pre ● ume to charge them all with so great Error, as not to know the terms of Christian Concord, nor the way of Universal Peace? |
A27054 | And that Christs true Flesh was broken, and his Blood shed by himself in the Sacrament, before it was broken and shed on the Cross? |
A27054 | And that Diocesans and subject Presbyters be but humane Institutions, and therefore Men may again change them? |
A27054 | And that instead of a Commemoration he offereth a real present Sacrifice for the quick and dead? |
A27054 | And the Western Christians so divided among themselves? |
A27054 | And then what wonder if the sacred office was corrupted to the doleful detriment and danger of the Churches, when the choosers were but such as these? |
A27054 | And was it in a set form of unchangeable words, that all these Articles( or Expositions) were carried down till now, or not? |
A27054 | And was it not so, and worse under the Popes and their Prelates? |
A27054 | And was there then no pardon of sin? |
A27054 | And was this discussed in any of these Councils? |
A27054 | And what blessings had that part of the Clergy been, that now have left their Names and History to reproach and shame? |
A27054 | And what greater blessing as a means to universal Reformation could be given men, than an universal common language? |
A27054 | And what is the property of Babel but division and confusion of tongues? |
A27054 | And what need a Council to declare that which all the Church did hold before, and was in possession of? |
A27054 | And where will they find that Land on Earth that will answer their expectation, and can and will receive them all? |
A27054 | And whether every Church of the lowest species must have a Bishop? |
A27054 | And which part was it that kept this Tradition? |
A27054 | And who can think that Erastianism, deposing the true use of Church- Government, as it hath begun, will not still more divide than heal? |
A27054 | And who knoweth not that disagreement proveth ignorance and errour, in one party at least? |
A27054 | And whose blood is safe, while such blood- sucking Leeches are taken for the Rulers of the world, and the Physicians of Souls? |
A27054 | And why may not Christs own Laws serve for Church Union? |
A27054 | And why should we be more impatient with this man, than with that? |
A27054 | And why that, rather than any of the rest? |
A27054 | And will the Christian world any more agree in such absurdities, than in a Quakers of Familists professing, that he speaketh by Inspiration? |
A27054 | And will want of a Sacrament then frustrate all? |
A27054 | And yet how little is this laid to heart? |
A27054 | And you may adde a fourth, Whether Archbishops be necessary to it,( not disputing now the lawfulness of any of all these?) |
A27054 | And, alas, how great a number live in our Churches never excommunicated nor publickly admonished who lye in such sins and will not repent? |
A27054 | Are all damned that were born since? |
A27054 | Are any two men in the world then of one Religion, any more than of one visage or slature,& c? |
A27054 | Are men liker to hate you, or to plot rebellions for being gently used as men, or cruelly like slaves or dogs? |
A27054 | Are not Parents pleased to see their children prosper, and every one delighted in the wellfare of his friend? |
A27054 | Are they all Lutherans, or Calvinists,& c? |
A27054 | Are they all Papists? |
A27054 | Are they all of the Greek Church, or Armenian, Abassine,& c? |
A27054 | As he is the Teacher of the Church, did he never teach them so necessary a thing, as what essential Church- unity is? |
A27054 | Be asked, Were there not like to be then greatest Choice upon the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit? |
A27054 | But alas what crabbed and contrary fruits, how soure, how bitter do many distempered Christians bring forth? |
A27054 | But have they ever( even at Munster) made any such horrid slaughters in the world as the great enemies of Toleration have done? |
A27054 | But how hath this Tradition been carried on, and kept right? |
A27054 | But if Copies and Translations differ and err, how can we make them our rule of judgment? |
A27054 | But suppose some difference had been in their sence, was it any renouncing of Christianity and such as cut them off from Christ? |
A27054 | But what are the terms and means of such a union? |
A27054 | But what is it that is necessary to the being and validity of baptism? |
A27054 | But what man thinks that it is so with all Error or Faults? |
A27054 | But what then, must all subscribe to, if not to all the Bible? |
A27054 | But why then is the world still unconverted, when all true Christians have this love? |
A27054 | Can a wise Physicion( a true Peace- maker) find out no remedy which may better avoid the foresaid evils? |
A27054 | Can all the Canons in the world attain more Concord and higher ends than these exprest? |
A27054 | Can he build his house, and never set the bricks, stones or timber together? |
A27054 | Can he prove that the Apostles were ever baptized? |
A27054 | Can you make a Clock or Watch, without adapting and uniting the parts? |
A27054 | Children may dye before they can be baptized, and are they by that natural necessity damned? |
A27054 | Did he ever hear them, and confute their Reasons? |
A27054 | Did not all the strife of Emperors for the power of investing Bishops, signifie this much against the Popes opposition? |
A27054 | Did they all receive Laws, Ordination or Officers from Rome, or from its Emissaries? |
A27054 | Did they ever murder 200000 people that lived peaceably at once, as the Frish Papists did? |
A27054 | Do we not see that husband and wife are pleased by the Riches and honour of each other, because their Vnion maketh all to be common to them? |
A27054 | Do you so debase and disgrace your selves and your religion, as to think or say that it can not prosper if any be but suffered to speak against you? |
A27054 | Doth he believe, That Prisons or Flames will make men of one Affection? |
A27054 | Doth it become absolutely necessary to Salvation, just at that Age, and not before? |
A27054 | Doth not the Scripture say, That the Holy Spirit dwelleth in Believers? |
A27054 | Doth not this imply, that after- times that might make so great a change, may also do the like in other things? |
A27054 | Doth the work of Christ afford you no more comfort, than shall leave you thus burdened if any will but gainsay you? |
A27054 | First, If it refer to the Person of the Receiver, how can the Holy Ghost dwell in any man, and not dwell in his person? |
A27054 | For what is a Church, but many Christians united and associated for Church- ends? |
A27054 | For what should hinder him? |
A27054 | Have you any other measure or test? |
A27054 | How easily may Hereticks creep in under such phrases as several men put several sences on? |
A27054 | How fair and easie is the way to Heaven among true Loving and agreeing Christians? |
A27054 | How few Countries are just of our mind? |
A27054 | How few Subjects must such a Prince expect to have, that will cut off all that are not of one intellectual complexion? |
A27054 | How it is to be used for the service of Christ and good of the Church? |
A27054 | How it is to be used towards all men as men in society? |
A27054 | How much less then hath he left the essentiating terms of Church- unity unprescribed? |
A27054 | How much of the designs of Satan and his agents have lain in dividing the servants of Christ? |
A27054 | How unanimous were the Sodomites in assaulting the house of Lot? |
A27054 | How unlike Christs Ministers or Christians do you speak? |
A27054 | If I am for Organs, for Images, for Crossing,& c. what hurt is it to let others meet and worship God without them? |
A27054 | If by Writings, why are they not cited, seen and tryed? |
A27054 | If ever you let them out of prison, will they not come out more alienated by exasperation? |
A27054 | If it was Rome only, then they had a Faith different from the rest of the Churches; And how shall we know that they are not as true and sound as Rome? |
A27054 | If many Notes ordered and united made not Harmony, what were the pleasure of musick or melody? |
A27054 | If not, why should you conclude that ever they will be? |
A27054 | If these be bred up in the same house, will they therefore have the same knowledge and conceptions? |
A27054 | If they say, that at least for the first six hundred years all the Church was governed by the Pope? |
A27054 | If this forcing course were now generally taken, how many Kingdoms would fare the better for it? |
A27054 | If this man had Rulers that differed from him, as much as he doth from the Nonconformists, would he, and could he, presently change his judgment? |
A27054 | If you think all must be united in any of these wayes, which of them is it? |
A27054 | In general, What are the true and only terms of Church- Vnion and Concord, and what not? |
A27054 | Is Gods Word worse than Popery? |
A27054 | Is it not better that in Congo, China,& c. Christianity is tolerated, than that they had all continued of their One Religion? |
A27054 | Is it that they all unite in Cephas( Peter) or in One Patriarch or Pope? |
A27054 | Is not that Promise true, That whoever believeth, shall not perish, but have everlasting life; and that the pure in heart shall see God,& c? |
A27054 | Is the Church now United in any of these terms or ways? |
A27054 | Is the Scripture as insufficient as the Papists make it, without their supplemental Traditions or Decrees? |
A27054 | Is there any thing in the nature of the thing so to perswade men? |
A27054 | Is there any thing in the world that ever came down to us by more certain, uniform, consenting tradition? |
A27054 | Is there no better way to the Churches concord, than that which must cast out either such men as you or I, and that so many? |
A27054 | Is there not Truth enough in all the Bible in intelligible words necessary to salvation and Church Communion? |
A27054 | Is this the sense of their having the Power of the Keys? |
A27054 | It is confessed that the Lords Supper is for Confirming Men in the Faith they had before: And are not both the Sacraments of the same general nature? |
A27054 | It is one question what is necessary to the justifying of the Priest, before the Church? |
A27054 | Let us not therefore judge one another any more? |
A27054 | Much less can they bring any pretense of it for the first three hundred yeas: Had they any Meeting in which they agreed for it? |
A27054 | Must not Reason be regarded? |
A27054 | Must they all be Papists? |
A27054 | Must they all be of the Greek opinions? |
A27054 | Must we write the same things as oft as Men arise that will repeat the Arguments so oft confuted? |
A27054 | No man will be exact in Justice till he do as he would be done by: And who can do that who Loveth not his neighbour as himself? |
A27054 | Nor my Dispute of Ordination Twenty Years ago written, and yet unanswered? |
A27054 | Or did they ever use Emperors as Henry the fourth and fifth, and Frederick were used? |
A27054 | Or forty thousand if not( as some say) twice as many, as they did at the French Massacre? |
A27054 | Or he that hath no Election but the Kings or the Patrons, nor other proved Consent of the people? |
A27054 | Or if he have but the minor part? |

A27054 | Or will it be taken for certain to all Men, because it is so to some of clearer understandings? |
A27054 | Other men can read as well as Popes and Councils: If unwritten, was it by publick Preaching, or private Talk? |
A27054 | Seeing Christ was not baptized till about thirty years old, was he not Holy, and the Churches Head before? |
A27054 | THe contentions of the world here call us to resolve these several doubts, 1. Who it is that should have the power of the sword or Magistracy? |

A27054 | The same Apostle sharply reprehendeth the faults of the Galatians; But what is it for? |
A27054 | The use and honor of it kept up, while man is man? |
A27054 | The word[ Personal] I have heard used by none but this, and such Accusers: But what he meaneth by it, who can tell? |
A27054 | Then how shall we know to whom he gave this power? |
A27054 | Though Sacraments under the Gospel convey greater benefits, can he prove that it placeth greater necessity of them, than the Law did? |
A27054 | UNITY giveth us a part in all the Joyes of earth and heaven: And what then is more desireable to a Believer? |
A27054 | V. And how should these Patriarchs unite all the Church? |
A27054 | Was all the Church under him before the Turks conquered the Greeks? |

A27054 | Would it be nothing to a mother if all her children, or to a friend if all his friends, had all the prosperity and joy that he could wish them? |
A27054 | Would such usage win himself to love the judgment and way of those that he suffered by? |
A27054 | You would have the Church Articles, at least for the Tolerated, in Scripture phrase: And what''s the phrase without the right sence? |
A27054 | [ The Church of the Armenians, and Ethiopians, and Indians, and the rest which the Apostles converted, are not under the Church of Rome?] |
A27054 | and another before God? |

A27054 | that A SOUL IS LOVE? |
A27054 | that is, how the parts must be united? |
A27054 | the rest not being allowed or called to choose? |
A27054 | to Humane Interest? |
A27054 | too extensive, or too intensive? |
A27054 | too large, or too near a Union of minds? |
A27054 | what can be more contrary to Nature? |
A27054 | what did the Councils of Ephesus, Constantinople, Chalcedon, and many others, by their Anathemas? |
A27054 | what then if all the world were as near and dear to us as a husband, a child, or a bosome friend? |

A27054 | when Rome it self hath so oft driven him away? |
A27054 | when Spain it self hath been accused of such Heresie? |
A27054 | when for many Ages most of Italy hath been a Field of warr, and fought against him? |
A27054 | when most of Germany stuck to the Emperours, and despised the Popes? |
A27054 | where? |
A27054 | whether I should rejoice with him in his joy, and mourn with him in his sorrows? |
A27054 | whether I should speak well or ill of him behind his back? |
A27054 | who are they that are wiser to reform it? |
A27054 | would it not be our constant pleasure to think of Gods blessings to them, as if they were our own? |
A44419 | & c. What hast thou to do to take my words into thy mouth, since thou hatest to be reformed? |
A44419 | ( would he but speak the word? |
A44419 | Again, from whence comes that main imperfection of our lives? |
A44419 | Again, of his great understanding in the mystery of Christ he gave a notable instance, when being questioned by our Saviour whom men took him to be? |
A44419 | Am I not( saith he unto us) sufficiently fair of my self to procure your love? |
A44419 | Ambition, Hope, Fear, and the like, these are so many Irons, every one of force to sway the Needle, and who sees not then in what danger we go? |
A44419 | And do you think your heavenly Father hath not as much love and respect unto his own children? |
A44419 | And how can it be that Iacob, a person so far above Demetrius, could think of asking, or receiving a small and common benefit? |
A44419 | And now since you know what they mean, what think you of taking them up for your own? |
A44419 | And what reason have you now to doubt, what should be the meaning of Recepisti, thou hast Received thy good things? |
A44419 | And who so free from respects, as they who content themselves with least? |
A44419 | Are there not more with us both in multitude and strength to preserve us? |
A44419 | Are we able to sound it in our hearts throughly? |
A44419 | As Elkanah speaks unto Hannah, in the first of Samuel, Why weepest thou? |
A44419 | As for his Armies of Fire and Water, what power is able to withstand them? |
A44419 | As for that other force of his, by which he lies in wait to annoy us outwardly, why should we so dread that? |
A44419 | Basil, hast thou shed Bloud? |
A44419 | But I see what it is, peradventure, that troubles you, you will ask me, Whether I will avouch it to be a sin to be Rich? |
A44419 | But are these things so as we have said? |
A44419 | But as for us, which of us all doth so live, as if he could content himself with Iacob''s portion, and serve God for food and raiment? |
A44419 | But for dead Vrias, what means could David make to recompence, to comfort him? |
A44419 | But he that hath his ambition, his hopes, his ends, his freinds, his fears; how is it possible he should ever drive right? |
A44419 | But how appears it, that all things else are superfluous? |
A44419 | But in the Churches story, what leafe, what line almost gives not in large evidence against the Church''s peace? |
A44419 | But in this third signification, his power seems to be streightned: for how many things are there which no Christian man can do? |
A44419 | But is the common Christian so soft, so tender- hearted? |
A44419 | But what Physician of Soul and Manners is capable of this counsel? |
A44419 | But whereas our Apostle saith, their own destruction, is the destruction onely their own? |
A44419 | But wherefore went St. Peter out? |
A44419 | But who are those Christians of whom he speaks? |
A44419 | But who gave Iacob any precept, or left him an example? |
A44419 | But yet there is a greater doubt for[ custodiam] Having learn''d this language, taken up this resolution, are we able to stand to it, to make it good? |
A44419 | But you will ask, Who shall be the judge, what is necessary? |
A44419 | But, Beloved, in this matter of miracles, we do much abuse our selves; for why? |
A44419 | But, Beloved, who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect? |
A44419 | By the help of what powers preach''d they Christ, and turn''d almost all Nations from Idols to God? |
A44419 | Can I hear any more the voice of singing men, and singing- women? |
A44419 | Can thy servant taste what I eat, or what I drink? |
A44419 | Can you find in your hearts thus to resolve? |
A44419 | Could a person of such note, make a Vow, or commence a Suit for a trifle? |
A44419 | Could such an Eagle strike at a Flie? |
A44419 | David, one of the worthiest of his Saints, yet how passionately doth he cry out, How long, Lord, wilt thou forget me? |
A44419 | Did St. Paul, when he was made a spectacle in the Theatre, summon together the Churches of Christ by the Edicts and Writs of Kings? |
A44419 | Did he as our Saviour observes of the Scribes and Pharisees, go out into the wilderness to see, to gaze and look about him? |
A44419 | Did he use some obscure and unknown phrase, which no circumstance of the story could open? |
A44419 | Do ye rightly apprehend what I mean? |
A44419 | Doth Iob serve God for nought? |
A44419 | Doth not Iacob here express the same conceit? |
A44419 | Doth not our own experience shew us this? |
A44419 | Elias and Elizaeus, two great Prophets in Israel, did they ever go up to Hierusalem to worship? |
A44419 | First, the Salve must be made: a Salve of strange ingredients: and who would make such a Salve, except he first knew it would work this cure? |
A44419 | For God himself in the Book of Psalms, staves them off with a, Quid tuae ut euarres mea? |
A44419 | For I ask, Can not this Cure be done, but onely by means of the Weapon? |
A44419 | For as St. Peter tells us, that there shall come mockers, who shall ask, Where are the promises of his coming? |
A44419 | For here me thinks that question might be asked, which Dalilah asked of Sampson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein this great strength lieth? |
A44419 | For how easily do they degenerate into wantonness, the one into pride, the other into luxury? |
A44419 | For if our senses do deceive us, which are the first admitters of all ground of Science and skill, what certainty can we have of any thing? |
A44419 | For many( saith he) at that day shall come and say, Have we not cast out devils, and wrought miracles in thy name? |
A44419 | For matchless strength of body and fears of Arms, whom can the world oppose to Sampson, to David and to his Worthies? |
A44419 | For this purpose we are ask''d, Is not thy Father''s Brother''s Widow farther off, then thy Father''s Brother''s Daughter? |
A44419 | For to make this trial requires all our power, all our will: And which of us have served God so? |
A44419 | For to what other purpose else could this description serve? |
A44419 | For were all men strong, were all of sufficient discretion, to see and judge of Conveniency, where were the glory of our forbearance? |
A44419 | For what Solomon saith upon another occasion, is here much more true, Say not, Why is this thing better then that? |
A44419 | For what difference is there betwixt the Faith that fails upon occasion, or that would fail if occasion were offered? |
A44419 | For what is honour without desert, but a bare inscription upon a rotten carcase? |
A44419 | For what is the end of all this serious and Religious Vow, or what request is it that this great Suitour moves to so great a Lord? |
A44419 | For what is there of which the world doth make such store, in which God''s own people had not their greatest share? |
A44419 | For what wise man will attempt that, which he knows before- hand to be impossible? |
A44419 | For which of us all would serve, I say not some great King, but even a mean Lord, at so cheap a hand? |
A44419 | For which of us can say, that, with Samuel, we have been dedicated to God from our first and tender infancy? |
A44419 | For which of you all, Beloved, who seriously and religiously reading this passage, is not prompted by his own heart thus, Si Iacob, cur non& ego? |
A44419 | For who can expect that that should not be divulged, which is done in the sight of so many Spectators?) |
A44419 | For who can tell how far the example and infection of an evil action doth spread? |
A44419 | For who is he amongst men that can free himself from this weakness? |
A44419 | For why can not as well a Prayer, and holy Meditations, take up the rooms of these idle thoughts and talk? |
A44419 | For why is it a greater miracle to raise the dead, then for every man to raise himself from the death of sin, to the life of righteousness? |
A44419 | For wisdom and learning did not Moses and Solomon out- goe all the wisdom of the East? |
A44419 | For, what reason can your Doctour give to confine these things to some part of our Excrements, and not enlarge them unto all? |
A44419 | From Experience it could not be; for see you not what a multitude of particulars must concur, ere any such experience could be made? |
A44419 | HOw come I to know that the Works which we call Livie''s, are indeed his whose name they bear? |
A44419 | Had the Heathen this care, that their vanities should not be discredited? |
A44419 | Hath God left means to know the prophane Writings of men? |
A44419 | Having all these, may he not yet be called the child of death? |
A44419 | Having therefore food and raiment, the rest we need no more then the Angels do: And why then should we desire them any more then the Angels do? |
A44419 | He that can not do thus, what differs his Faith from a temporary faith, or from hypocrisie? |
A44419 | How careful then ought we to be, and to stand on our guard, and keep a perpetual watch over our hearts, diligently to try and examine our thoughts? |
A44419 | How doth it benefit a man who lives in peace, to observe the Art how Caesar managed wars? |
A44419 | How easily did it recover again under Queen Mary, both Top and Cut? |
A44419 | How great a sin then is the smallest contempt that is done against God? |
A44419 | How knowest thou how potent the Word of God may be through thy Ministry, out of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham? |
A44419 | How many do our eyes see every day, who make no end of heaping up wealth, but never bethink themselves how to employ it? |
A44419 | How many men are there, that deserve not so much as the benefit of common light, and yet the day dawns on them? |
A44419 | How many of the questions even of our own times, even of those that are at home amongst us, might by this way long since have been determin''d? |
A44419 | How much better and surer adventure were this whereof we now treat, which if we attain unto, the honour and profit is infinite? |
A44419 | How said I? |
A44419 | How then can it slacken your worldly business and occasions, to mix with them sighs and groans, which are the most effectual kinds of prayer? |
A44419 | How then can we claim this promise at God''s hands, that have thus grosly neglected our conditions? |
A44419 | How then shall we esteem this as a favour, for which Iacob doth thus Religiously oblige himself unto God? |
A44419 | How we come to know the Scriptures to be the Word of God? |
A44419 | I am this day, saith Barzillai, fourscore years old, and can I discern between good and evil? |
A44419 | I ask then first, as the Eunuch doth in the Acts, of whom speaks our Apostle this, of himself, or of some other man? |
A44419 | I beseech you, Bishops, you that take your selves so to be, whose authority in preaching of the Gospel did the Apostles use? |
A44419 | I have often much mused, why this Salve is called the Weapon- Salve? |
A44419 | I will not dispute unto whom of right these blessings do belong, whether unto the Reprobate, or unto the Iust? |
A44419 | If David did thus, then why not I? |
A44419 | If I heard St. Paul himself preaching, what makes me beleive him that his Doctrine is from God, and his words, the words of the holy Ghost? |
A44419 | If Iacob''s portion be nothing else but food and raiment, why did God provide more then that? |
A44419 | If Iacob, so great a person, so powerful with God and man, if he thought it fit thus to do, then how much more should I? |
A44419 | If a major part carry the right, what think you then of the Province of Utrecht, where the greater parts are Remonstrants? |
A44419 | If all were Husband- men, what would become of the Merchant''s Trade? |
A44419 | If all were Merchants, where were the Scholar? |
A44419 | If he had required great knowledge, sharpness of wit, what had become of slower spirits, and shallower capacities? |
A44419 | If the words admit a double sense, and I follow one, who can assure me that that which I follow is the truth? |
A44419 | If we fail of it, the very missing of it can not be without a great and rich return? |
A44419 | If you have just cause to fear none of these, why should you fear them all, since that of such as these the whole knot of them consists? |
A44419 | If you refuse us because we are your adversaries, whom would you have deputed as Judges? |
A44419 | In dubium vocat, an Angeli sint nunc beati,& in bono confirmati? |
A44419 | In labours more aboundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft; and could he do more? |
A44419 | Is Christ contrary to Paul? |
A44419 | Is he bound to think it impossible? |
A44419 | Is he so gentle and tractable a creature? |
A44419 | Is his countenance so smooth, his body so free from gall and spleen? |
A44419 | Is it Sin doth so much affright us? |
A44419 | Is it gain? |
A44419 | Is it not his plain purpose to advise the disputer, rather not to make the question, then to require a determination of it at his hands? |
A44419 | Is it not rather thought to be an hinderance to all these? |
A44419 | Is it not with them as it is with other men? |
A44419 | Is it the consideration of God''s benefits, that will move us to thankfulness? |
A44419 | Is it the consideration of distress and affliction, and some degree of the curse of God upon us, that will stir our devotion? |
A44419 | Is it the time of Feasting and Jollity, which seems to prescribe against prayer? |
A44419 | Is it yet more? |
A44419 | Is it yet more? |
A44419 | Is not the greatest part of our lives spent in attempting things meerly impossible? |
A44419 | It is the question Ahasuerus makes, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? |
A44419 | It was the divil that ask''d the question, Doth Iob serve God for nought? |
A44419 | Last of all, is it time of sleep that seems to give a vacation, and otium to prayer? |
A44419 | Let every man look into himself, and try, whether he be in the faith or no? |
A44419 | Lo, here it is, for Godliness indeed is gainful: Or is it not onely so, but some great and extraordinary gain? |
A44419 | Master, what shall we do? |
A44419 | May he not then keep that resolution, not so as never to slip; but not to fall, and leave his right way? |
A44419 | Might he not have done this in a more high and reserved manner, with respect to some sorts and orders of men? |
A44419 | Nay, what if those to whom the execution of the publick service is committed, do something either unseemly or suspicious, or peradventure unlawful? |
A44419 | No verily; How then? |
A44419 | No, sor he is but a Pesant: or such a one? |
A44419 | Now I would willingly know from which of these two, the knowledge of this Weapon- Salve was first derived? |
A44419 | Now here is the Question, Where he may first adventure to make his choice? |
A44419 | Now that proportion is there betwixt the strength of God himself dwelling in us, and all the strength of Heaven, Earth, and Hell besides? |
A44419 | Now the question is, How far in the Degrees of Propinquity this restraint doth reach? |
A44419 | Now what is it, think you, that is contained under this abstruse Language? |
A44419 | Now who would ever apply himself to expect such an event? |
A44419 | Now, Beloved, yet to see this more plainly, what is the main end of our life? |
A44419 | O turn away thine eyes, for they have overcome me; he grows impatient of his looks, and seeks for a place to weep; what a look was this think you? |
A44419 | Or if thy self wert an Angel, wouldst thou do it? |
A44419 | Pergitur in rogandis suffragiis de confessione Belgica; an in eadem sint sententia cum Britannis? |
A44419 | Quaeritur — An Deus ullum hominem reprobaverit citra respectum peccati tanquam causae meritoriae? |
A44419 | Quare metuebas haec, nisi sententia tua nova esset,& receptae in vestris& exteris Ecclesiis atque Academiis doctrinae adversaretur? |
A44419 | Qui timide rogat, docet negare, Faint asking does invite a denial: Will you know the true name of the behaviour which prevails with God? |
A44419 | Quid juvat hoc nostros templis admittere mores? |
A44419 | Salvianus disputing what Faith is, Quid est igitur credulitas vel sides? |
A44419 | Secondly, I ask what meaning hath this word 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, this can do in my Text? |
A44419 | Secondly, here is the Person, Iacob; a person of great note and worth: For who greater in the House of God then Iacob? |
A44419 | Secondly, is it Original corruption that doth so much affright us? |
A44419 | See you not, what some great Persons in the Church of Rome have often done? |
A44419 | Seems it so strange a thing unto you, that God should make a thing onely for Tentation? |
A44419 | Shall I speak plain? |
A44419 | Si Iacob, cur non& ego? |
A44419 | Sixteen hundred years, Et quod excurrit, hath the Gospel been preached unto the world, and is this stain spunged out yet? |
A44419 | So are there many mockers in the world, who ask us, Where are these goodly promises made unto the godly? |
A44419 | So that hitherto in nothing are we found inferiour unto the cheif Apostles: what if there be some things we can not do? |
A44419 | That of the Church of Rome, so much urged in disgrace of the Reformed Churches, Where was your Church before Luther rose? |
A44419 | The Praeses asked by whom they would be judged? |
A44419 | The Religious Rites of Gentilism, how had they their beginnings? |
A44419 | The question that troubleth us, is, whether we may admit the Grace of Redemption to be general to all men without exception? |
A44419 | The reason which the Apostle gives, does warrant this restraint; See ye not( saith he) that a little leven sowres the whole lump? |
A44419 | There is a question raised among the great Masters of Natural learning, Whether or no there may be a Lamp so provided, that it may burn for ever? |
A44419 | There is none so poor, but hath his time to make an account of; were there nothing but this, what a sum would this amount unto? |
A44419 | Thirdly, Is it the Devil that we think so strong an adversary? |
A44419 | Thirdly, it is by many held utterly unlawful; can then the enjoyning of such a thing be ought else but abuse? |
A44419 | This is that use, or rather abuse, which, if I could, I would willingly remove; will you know then the cheif use for which they were made? |
A44419 | This question, What will ye give me? |
A44419 | Thou hast written well of me, Thomas, what reward dost thou desire? |
A44419 | Thou that wroughtest that Great Reconciliation between God and Man, is thine arm waxen shorter? |
A44419 | To reconcile Man to Man is it impossible? |
A44419 | Took they unto themselves any honour out of Princes Palaces, who after their stripes, amidst their chains in prison, sung praises unto God? |
A44419 | Veni,& vide, try and make experience an possibile? |
A44419 | Vnsettledness, and flitting from one thing to another? |
A44419 | Was it doubt of Heir to the Kingdom? |
A44419 | Was it his pleasure, that all the rest should run waste? |
A44419 | Was it possible to reconcile God to Man? |
A44419 | Was there any people so victorious a gainst their enemies, so long as they kept themselves unto their God? |
A44419 | Was there ever any Nation which had such store of all things made for the use of man? |
A44419 | We will hope, O Lord,( for what hinders?) |
A44419 | What a comfort then is this to a brother of low degree, when he shall consider with himself, that his want is as rich as the greatest wealth? |
A44419 | What boots it thus to dispute? |
A44419 | What do I say? |
A44419 | What hope of these mens extraordinary thriving, who are so nice and scrupulous of what they finger? |
A44419 | What if God do so by us? |
A44419 | What if the Homilist have Preached, or delivered any Doctrine of the Truth, of which we are not well perswaded? |
A44419 | What is it that can sway them from their integrity? |
A44419 | What is it then that I shall bring with me to win your affections? |
A44419 | What is more lawful, then for the labourer to have his hire? |
A44419 | What might this faith be? |
A44419 | What profit is it for a man to gain the whole world, and to lose his own soul? |
A44419 | What shall we answer to this complaint? |
A44419 | What then may some men say, had St. Peter lost the Spirit of Adoption? |
A44419 | What then must we think of those that abuse godliness unto gain, that refuse to do deeds of charity, except they bring them in some revenue? |
A44419 | What then shall become of all these goodly things of the world, which men so much admire? |
A44419 | What think ye of the Tree of knowledge of good and evil? |
A44419 | When it was objected, what if they were in danger of death? |
A44419 | Whence comes it, that we are at our wits ends; when we see persecution, and sword, and fire to rage against the true professours of the Gospel? |
A44419 | Where is the lust of the eye, if it be not in gaudy apparel? |
A44419 | Where is the lust of the flesh, at least one great branch of it, if it be not in the use of dainty diet? |
A44419 | Where is the pride of life, if not in riches? |
A44419 | Wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burthen to my Lord the King? |
A44419 | Wherefore, dost thou find that thou comest on, and thrivest in the world? |
A44419 | Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? |
A44419 | Whether the Grace of Redemption is general to all men in the World without exception; or to be Restrained only to the Church? |
A44419 | Whether? |
A44419 | Which of their Kings had his heart right before God? |
A44419 | Which of us is there that understands the words and precepts of our Saviour in their litteral sense, and as they lie? |
A44419 | Who feeds a flock, eats not the milk, and clothes not himself with the wooll of it? |
A44419 | Why did he thus? |
A44419 | Why do we capitulate with him for our services? |
A44419 | Why measure we God by our selves, and because we are led with gay shews, and goodly things, think it is so with God? |
A44419 | Why not rather out of pious ambition desire to have God in our debt? |
A44419 | Why should the Neutral or Atheist any longer confirm himself in his Irreligion by reasons drawn from our dissentions? |
A44419 | Will you know where to find the Kingdom of Christ? |
A44419 | Will you know whether all this tends? |
A44419 | Will you try whether it be possible to make it good or no? |
A44419 | Would you know what these are? |
A44419 | Yea, but have not our Freinds taken up the same complaint? |
A44419 | Yea, but the Devil inspires into us evil thoughts: well, and can not good Angels inspire good? |
A44419 | Yet to help the lameness of this reason we are told,( but not for news I trow, for who knew it not?) |
A44419 | Yet why should we not venture upon impossibilities in this so good a cause, as well as we do( of our own accord) in other cases? |
A44419 | am not I better unto thee then ten sons? |
A44419 | and names one of the multitude to him; No, saith Alcibiades, he is but a Tradesman: Fear you such a one, saith he, and names a second? |
A44419 | and where we may begin to couple and lock again? |
A44419 | and yet( with the same facility) was it again lop''d, rooted up under the Reign of Queen Elizabeth? |
A44419 | are there any men whose case is more miserable then theirs? |
A44419 | at what a loss I am, saith he, that I can die but once for my Saviour? |
A44419 | aut quid est dignitas in indigno, nisi ornamentum in luto? |
A44419 | can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? |
A44419 | could he not have covenanted with God, as he did with Laban, and so have grown rich at an easier hand? |
A44419 | do not all things continue alike since the creation? |
A44419 | frequent relapsing into sins once forsaken? |
A44419 | from our first? |
A44419 | hast thou not hedged him on every side, and laid thine hand upon him? |
A44419 | hath he left no certain means to know his own Records? |
A44419 | have they not their shares in all the plagues that usually befall the world? |
A44419 | how great then must our care be, that they which enter into these Exercises, be of pure and upright condition? |
A44419 | how long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart? |
A44419 | is he so peaceable, so tame and tractable a creature? |
A44419 | is it a matter of so incontroleable certainty, that Christ hath left peace unto his Church; that it were almost infidelity to doubt of it? |
A44419 | nay, how many of us are there, who can scarcely spare the latter end of our days for God? |
A44419 | no contentions? |
A44419 | no disputes? |
A44419 | of Exodus, that God speaks unto Moses, Why criest thou unto me? |
A44419 | of the inward working of the holy Ghost, in the consciences of every beleiver? |
A44419 | or by what cunning he aspired to the Monarchy? |
A44419 | or can the refusal of Communion here be thought any other thing than duty? |
A44419 | or have given somewhat else the first room in our thoughts? |
A44419 | or to coin gold? |
A44419 | or what advantages they were that gave Scipio the day against Hannibal? |
A44419 | or what chains or fetters shall be put upon him, which he will not break? |
A44419 | or what is dignity in a worthless person, but a jewel thrown into the dirt? |
A44419 | or whether it were out of modesty and good nature, that he could not endure the sight of Christ, whom he had so greivously offended? |
A44419 | or who is it, that, taking the cure of others, d ● th not in most of his actions bewray his own disease? |
A44419 | or, Which way hath it availed us to have kept his Law? |
A44419 | or, we might open and admit of them? |
A44419 | riches, pleasures, and delights, so many good creatures in the world, were they not made to be enjoyed? |
A44419 | shall he so discourage himself from the happiest experiment in the world? |
A44419 | shall the confession of our unableness to do what we ought, excuse us at all, if we do not that which we are able? |
A44419 | shall they part as they came? |
A44419 | shall this prejudice our power? |
A44419 | since neither Nature, nor Religion, nor Reason doth suggest any thing of moment to the contrary? |
A44419 | sought first the kingdom of God, and the righteousness of him? |
A44419 | that God''s power and Spirit is not to be confined, but will pass à termino in terminum, according as is the will of him that sends it forth? |
A44419 | that Sanative faculty is of God? |
A44419 | that could not be; for Solomon was now born, to whom the promise of the Kingdom was made: Was it the strength of natural affection? |
A44419 | that the good things of this world wooe thee, and cast themselves into thy lap? |
A44419 | that wealth, that honours, that abundance waits upon thee? |
A44419 | their progress? |
A44419 | then for those that labour in the Gospel, to live by the Gospel? |
A44419 | to take up this resolution? |
A44419 | was it that he did wrong and dishonour Saul in mangling his garment? |
A44419 | was that immortal seed of the Word quite kill''d? |
A44419 | what commodity, what profit will accrue unto me? |
A44419 | what if the garments they wear be censured, nay indeed be suspicious? |
A44419 | what if the gesture or adoration to be used to the Altars, as now we have learned to speak? |
A44419 | what is it, at which with so much pain and labour we strive to arrive? |
A44419 | what losses need they fear? |
A44419 | what manner of Moneys the Ancients used? |
A44419 | when the Romans first began to use Shipping? |
A44419 | where is the promise of gain and commodity made unto the godly? |
A44419 | where is the promise of the possession of the earth, made unto the meek spirited? |
A44419 | whether he find in himself that he can, if need be even lay down his life for his profession? |
A44419 | whose person need they to respect? |
A44419 | without opposition? |
A44419 | would it not give him better satisfaction to find Christ''s Resurrection exprest in yours, and as it were digested into flesh and wooll? |
A44419 | would you have it accompany you not onely in your lives, but even lie down with you in your graves? |
A44419 | would you have this assured to you for your lives? |
A44419 | wouldst thou be free from the guilt of it? |
A44419 | yea, all the wise men of the world besides? |
A44419 | your selves, or the Papists, or the Anabaptists, or the Libertines, or some other faction in these Countries? |
A27032 | 1. Who would have thought that you are so much looser in your communion than we are? |
A27032 | 15. and make to your self and followers a new Law, that whomsoever you shall suspect or accuse of sin, you must also separate from? |
A27032 | 2. Who made the Law, that no man must write on a subject after Dr. Owen? |
A27032 | A King without a Kingdom? |
A27032 | A yea, or a nay? |
A27032 | After so many Untruths? |
A27032 | Alas Sir, what would you have said if I had told you how common this was in the Army? |
A27032 | Alas man, what dayes of Humiliation do you use to keep, for the sins and miseries of the Land? |
A27032 | Alas, That your Pen could write the last word without the more prevalent rebuke of your Conscience? |
A27032 | Am I not free? |
A27032 | An Integral member may rather be cut off, than the whole should perish: But what member will separate it self from the b ● dy? |
A27032 | And God is no respecter of persons? |
A27032 | And Luther, Althamar and others, to set no more by James''s Epistle than they did? |
A27032 | And are not Ministers bound to teach the people by Example, as well as by Doctrine? |
A27032 | And are the sins of such as we, no Causes of our publick calamities? |
A27032 | And are they Hypocrites else for joyning with you? |
A27032 | And are they not two wayes of predicating or publishing the same Gospel? |
A27032 | And are you not by this time an excellent Scholar and a very wise man, if you did so by all your other Books? |
A27032 | And are you yet insensible of your own partiality; that then you blamed that in the Bishop which now you can freely do your self? |
A27032 | And as to the Predicate, Is there a difference between the Questions, whether such a Church may be joyned with? |
A27032 | And both of the Anabaptists? |
A27032 | And can any ignorant Mountebanks more mortally and perniciously practise Physick, than you thus practise the Reformation of the Churches? |
A27032 | And can you wink so hard, as not to see how here you openly declare your falsehood? |
A27032 | And could I expect, that he that will disdain to read these Books, will read another that repeateth the same things? |
A27032 | And could you see no difference between seeking it, and in faith expecting it? |
A27032 | And did those Prophets lie? |
A27032 | And did you believe your self that the Bishop of Worcesters words so many years ago, are a proof that I repent not now? |
A27032 | And do not most good Ministers and people publickly confess to God, that our own sins have been the Causes of our Calamities? |
A27032 | And do you doubt of it? |
A27032 | And do you not at that very time prove me proud for writing so many Books, when by this and other passages you call for an answer, that is, for more? |
A27032 | And do you not grosly wrong those Rulers, from whom you think any danger or hurt will come to us for such doctrine as this? |
A27032 | And do you not know how your erronious reasonings and practices do occasion men even to scorn at your talk of Reformation? |
A27032 | And do you not then dethrone him, and deny him indeed to be the Christ? |
A27032 | And do you not yet perceive your partiality and respect of persons? |
A27032 | And do you not yet see how much you have of the same silencing Spirit which you profess to separate from? |
A27032 | And do you think that the Church that hath Power to do well, and will not, is therefore to be communicated with because it can? |
A27032 | And do you think that they thereby expose good people to the Magistrates hatred or revenge? |
A27032 | And doth he not differ from most whom he nameth himself, by his Separation? |
A27032 | And doth it not exasparate them to see men justifie unquestionable sin? |
A27032 | And doth not his Epistle before it shew that he was one of the Publishers? |
A27032 | And have you first admonished them of that sin, and tryed all these Ministers whether they be penitent? |
A27032 | And here the word[ only] was before his eyes, a confutation of his calumny? |
A27032 | And how come the Churches in the Ages next the Apostles to leave out so many Books of the Canon as many of them did, while others received them? |
A27032 | And how few can say, the place where I live is not the less innocent for me, nor suffereth ever the more for me? |
A27032 | And if I offend all and please none, what need he be at all this labour to save men from being pleased by me? |
A27032 | And if an Aaron will make the people naked to their shame, will not God record it to his shame? |
A27032 | And if so, would he serve God or the Devil, that would scorn us all as Proud for preaching so much, as the best men do? |
A27032 | And if you Preach the Gospel to a Congregation that can not read, do you recite all the various readings in the Hebrew and Greek to them? |
A27032 | And if you have read them, why would you dissemble it, and give no Reply to it? |
A27032 | And is he fit to glory in the cleansing fruit of sufferings, that shall falsly say, that such a necessary warning is an inveighing against sufferings? |
A27032 | And is it any wonder if our dishonesty make us unworthy of their Communion, when our honesty is questionable for the Licensing of our Books? |
A27032 | And is not this also a rash and careless man, that no better heedeth what he readeth and what he writeth? |
A27032 | And is not this fallacy a dicto secundum quod ad dictum simpliciter, a notorious cheat, and falshood? |
A27032 | And is that example, which is unknown? |
A27032 | And is the same thing bad in the Bishop, and good in you? |
A27032 | And is there any thing in all this, that saith, I was no way Active in it? |
A27032 | And is there not sin among us, even among us also? |
A27032 | And is this Printed Epistle and Testimony no Publication? |
A27032 | And is this comparative question any kin to that which you now falsly father on me? |
A27032 | And it is false doctrine that Imprisonments and Death are due to all such: What kind of Politicks would you write? |
A27032 | And may not a True Church be faulty and Defective? |
A27032 | And may not your honesty be as reasonably questioned because you are suffered to Preach? |
A27032 | And must I needs as my duty, be so mad, as not to know that any observe me, or regard what I do, for fear of being proud? |
A27032 | And must they needs talk to the people of their superiours actions, and speak against them behind their backs? |
A27032 | And must your Ignorance of such matters as Melancholly have so great influence into your Divinity? |
A27032 | And shall I write more to remove his Fears, who will rather blindly vent them by calumny, than read for his satisfaction what I have said? |
A27032 | And so many Godly men long, and yet, to receive much of the Apocrypha? |
A27032 | And that every rash and carelesly uttered untruth, which is privatively voluntary( that is, where the will omitteth its Office) is a lie? |
A27032 | And the Independents think so of the Presbyterians? |
A27032 | And what Christian desireth not the greatest Holiness and Righteousness in the World? |
A27032 | And what Liberty doth that give away? |
A27032 | And what is it that keepeth you from seeing how strongly you confute your self? |
A27032 | And what made them threaten to disown him if he would not cease such wayes? |
A27032 | And what reason hath any man to doubt, but if it were in your power, you would silence me as much as any Bishop would? |
A27032 | And when I had answered all this so fully, why will you deign to confute a Book, while you disdain to take notice what it saith? |
A27032 | And when did I ever endeavour to expose such men? |
A27032 | And who gave you authority so to examine other Pastors, being but a single person? |
A27032 | And who will not think that read your Book, that you would be one of the first accused of Railing? |
A27032 | And why must this be non- sense now? |
A27032 | And why not as well from all other sins of equal greatness? |
A27032 | And why not? |
A27032 | And why should you think that I must be ashamed of that which you are uncertain of? |
A27032 | And will you believe this man and follow him upon his bare word, who hath published eighty such falshoods? |
A27032 | And would any thing cure this scandal also, that had not been notified? |
A27032 | And would you thus leave us all desperate in Impenitency? |
A27032 | And yet he professeth not repentance for any one of them? |
A27032 | And yet the Church that used the same Voluntarily( and therefore more sinfully) is not to be separated from? |
A27032 | And yet you would not have it said that he lied? |
A27032 | Are not you and others that suffer in danger of such temptations, and sin in sufferings? |
A27032 | Are those Infidels, Quakers, with the& c.[ All]? |
A27032 | As any? |
A27032 | As his manner was, he went in to them, and three Sabbath dayes reasoned — Or do you believe, that Christ was a sinner? |
A27032 | As if he did believe that those whom I mentioned( even with an& c.) were[ all] and there were no others in the world? |
A27032 | Bound, Dr. Young, Dr. Twisse, Mr. Eaton, Mr. Bifield, Mr. Shephard, and many more? |
A27032 | But I would fain know, whether it be the Imposition, that nullifieth the Church, or makes Communion unlawful, or only the obeying that Imposition? |
A27032 | But at the worst; not reproving can be but a particular sin? |
A27032 | But do you not know that there is a Ministerial as well as a Magistratical forcing Imposition? |
A27032 | But how could she be Converted without resolving of a holy life? |
A27032 | But if you do not believe your self, how much less should others believe you? |
A27032 | But if you think it a sin for any to hear you, or have communion with you, why do you not plainly tell your hearers so? |
A27032 | But is all the stress of separation laid upon the word[ Imposing?] |
A27032 | But is there a Power retained in such Churches to cast out offendors? |
A27032 | But next let us see your evidence or proof: Your first is,[ What need I have told the world,& c.] would you have an answer to your question or not? |
A27032 | But we that are not so wise as you, must be beholden to various Copies, Records, Printers, Lawyers, to know which are the Statutes in force? |
A27032 | But what are the few words that would satisfie you? |
A27032 | But what if he attain this end, and be believed? |
A27032 | But what if they have sharply reproved this one sin? |
A27032 | But what part you will call considerable who knows? |
A27032 | But will suffer, and be silenced, and ruined, and die, and yet not acknowledge that so unnatural and pernicious a thing is a sin? |
A27032 | By choosing what Chapter to read, you impose on the people to hear that Chapter then or none? |
A27032 | Can all Women and Unlearned persons or Ministers, judge by the Original Transcripts who understand not the Original tongues? |
A27032 | Can all your hearers inwardly approve of all that you say, if you preach and pray but as you write? |
A27032 | Can you believe this? |
A27032 | Can you heap up untruths in Book after Book, and commit all these Crimes, even when you have strictly meditated what you write? |
A27032 | Could I think that Book forgotten which remaineth visible? |
A27032 | Could I think that part of my life forgotten, which all in the City of Coventry, who thirty years ago were at years of discretion, may remember? |
A27032 | Could you think that[ a few words] would open a mans mind so plainly, as many Books can do? |
A27032 | Did David deserve to be hated of all, because his numbring the people brought the plague? |
A27032 | Did Venner and his company think you hold no more? |
A27032 | Did any other impose it, or shut her mouth? |
A27032 | Did ever sober men go about with such general accusations, and expect that men answer to they know not what? |
A27032 | Did not the Primitive Teachers, Apostles and others leave us their Examples for Writing, as well as for Vocal Teaching? |
A27032 | Did our Separations and Church- divisions these six and twenty years last past promote our Reformation? |
A27032 | Did you believe when you wrote this, that this reference was a proof of my Pride? |
A27032 | Did you know before you wrote this, that all such as we perswade men to hear, have by Oath renounced their Christian Liberty? |
A27032 | Do Angels rejoice at a sinners Repentance; and shall we take him for their enemy, that calls them to it? |
A27032 | Do I fell thirty three Truths, when I read thirty three untruths in your Writings? |
A27032 | Do I sell Truth, if I should hear you preach or pray erroneously, and impose your confused prayers on the people? |
A27032 | Do all the Men and Women that are Godly actually know the true and uncorrupt copies and readings, by the Book it self without mans testimony? |
A27032 | Do all the Parish Ministers do so? |
A27032 | Do not corrupt Copies come to other mens hands? |
A27032 | Do not the Translations differ? |
A27032 | Do you believe that none of the Levellers, or those whom Oliver Cromwell suppressed under the name of Fifth Monarchy men, held no more? |
A27032 | Do you believe that they that turned Quakers in Prison are gainers by their sufferings? |
A27032 | Do you consider what you write? |
A27032 | Do you know his name, that ever knew this by Reading the Bible only, without being ever told it by any? |
A27032 | Do you neither in Life nor in your sufferings, intend to be publickly exemplary? |
A27032 | Do you not forbear the publick Assemblies, the rather that your example may move others? |
A27032 | Do you not perceive here how your work contradicts your self? |
A27032 | Do you not preach or talk to your own auditors, and expect observation? |
A27032 | Do you only confess your adversaries sins? |
A27032 | Do you prove me as earnest and open an ● ss ● rter as any, by citing words in which I profess to be ignorant, neutral and uncertain? |
A27032 | Do you sin so studyedly and deliberately, and yet will you not Repent? |
A27032 | Do you think by such a rate of Reasoning as this is, to be accounted a wise& faithful Teacher? |
A27032 | Do you think he took any heed of the word[ only] when he wrote it? |
A27032 | Do you think indeed that you are not noted your self? |
A27032 | Do you think then that Christ ever sent out Lyars, Railers, furious Church- dividers, false accusers,& c? |
A27032 | Do you warn all others not to hear your self? |
A27032 | Doth he hereby expose them to be odious? |
A27032 | Doth he not fix upon you by such Libells as these, an odious reproach? |
A27032 | Doth no man ever receive Grace? |
A27032 | Doth not he that giveth a Thief his Purse, consent himself to it, and make it his own act to save his life? |
A27032 | Doth not this shew you, that you are not so good, but that the Churches of godly Pastors are as worthy of your Communion, as you are of theirs? |
A27032 | Doth this disputing satisfie any sober enquirer after truth? |
A27032 | False again: I have no such words that ought of my Sermon had any impression on her? |
A27032 | For Chastisements are threatned to them, and to the societies that they defile? |
A27032 | For how is it possible for me to know what is said of him to all others, in every distant place and corner? |
A27032 | Hath God promised it to all or most that shall be saved? |
A27032 | Hath a free- agent less Power to receive Grace, than a marble to receive the engraving of the work- man? |
A27032 | Hath a man no more Receptive Power than a block or stone? |
A27032 | Have I written for the Millenary Opinion, as earnestly and openly as Mr. Mead hath done? |
A27032 | Have we not power to eat and to drink? |
A27032 | Have we not power to lead about a Sister, a Wife, as well as other Apostles? |
A27032 | He hath not spoken to any considerable number of them: And of those few that he speaketh to, try if you can find any one of which he cleareth himself? |
A27032 | His third Reason: Because Parish Ministers consent to silencing and persecution, by open consent or pernicious silence? |
A27032 | How can he judge of the various Readings of all the rest of the Copies, which he never saw? |
A27032 | How directly do you set your self against the way of the Spirit of God? |
A27032 | How far he proceedeth in his separation, and how far he would draw poor unstable souls? |
A27032 | How like his own Spirit is to that which he accounteth the Spirit of imposition and persecution? |
A27032 | How many Texts be there that intimate that the Churches long( without a prohibition) held communion with the erronious judaizing Christians? |
A27032 | How many notorious false doctrines he hath delivered? |
A27032 | How many other notorious Crimes in two Libells he hath committed? |
A27032 | How many score notorious untruths he shamelesly publisheth in these two Libells? |
A27032 | How many volumes of the old Non- conformists give you this Answer? |
A27032 | How much he fighteth against Repentance, and so with gross Impenitency aggravateth all his crimes? |
A27032 | How much of the very same Spirit is in Church- dividers, with that which they most condemn in others: Why then do you not separate from your selves? |
A27032 | How oft have I urged you to prove, that our publick Parish Ministers whom I advise men to hear, do Impose any more than you your self do? |
A27032 | How shall men know which Translation is truest;( when none is perfect?) |
A27032 | How that thus you make all or most, or very many of Gods Servants, such as deserve to be hated of all? |
A27032 | How then can you say they unduely enter into the Ministry? |
A27032 | I askt you, whether the Parliament, nor the chief Speakers in it, nor the Earl of Essex, nor Cromwell did no more? |
A27032 | I challenge you if you can to prove any corruption in the Churches in question, which is not consistent with the essence? |
A27032 | I still approve of all the words of mine which you recite? |
A27032 | I think I could prove their sin as effectually as you can: But must we separate from all sinners? |
A27032 | If I had called you a wise, a calm, a sober and charitable man, when I had no evidence of the contrary, how can you prove that this had been a lie? |
A27032 | If a Translation will serve him to judge of the various readings in the Original, are they not in the Translation fore- judged of to his hand? |
A27032 | If all the Church apostatized, how shall we know that Apostates did not corrupt all the Copies of Scripture that are come down to us? |
A27032 | If he must see all, who is he or she in the world that can be certain? |
A27032 | If it be false doctrine( as undoubtedly it is) I further ask, whether it was the spirit of God, or Satan that was the Author of it? |
A27032 | If it be true, that thus he did( which is mentioned as no rarity) should you not rather take part with God than him? |
A27032 | If it did( as sure it did) what could it be less than Melancholy? |
A27032 | If not, can they judge of that they never heard? |
A27032 | If not, why do you ask it? |
A27032 | If one should admonish one of your Church- members of one single deliberate avowed lye, would you not call him to Repentance? |
A27032 | If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? |
A27032 | If she did know, why doth she falsly call it an untruth, that she imposed it on her self? |
A27032 | If she knew not what she did, why is she angry for being thought Melancholy,( which is many a Godly persons case?) |
A27032 | If so, must all wicked men do so? |
A27032 | If so, then what certainty can we have of the truth of any of their Prophecies, if they may speak falsly to us in the name of God? |
A27032 | If the Truth of God hath more abounded through my Lye unto his Glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?] |
A27032 | If they must see but one Copy, how shall he know that it is the Truest Copy that falleth into his hands, and that all that differ from that are false? |
A27032 | If they must see many, who knows how many and which? |
A27032 | If to all; where is the promise? |
A27032 | If to none, may they not all erre? |
A27032 | If to some, how shall we know them? |
A27032 | If you do, are they ever the wiser as to know of themselves which of them is the right? |
A27032 | If you do, how unfit are you to be believed of any that know no better what is credible in a matter of fact? |
A27032 | If you do, why should you be so malignant as to question the assertion of it, and so loth to grant it? |
A27032 | If you have read them, why would you say you Fear, which signifieth uncertainty? |
A27032 | If you never read them, is it modesty to despise them? |
A27032 | If you never read what is written by Mr. Mead, Dr. Twisse, Mr. Archer,& c. Did you never read any Pamphlets within these thirty years that say more? |
A27032 | If you never read what lrenaeus, Lactantius and others of old held? |
A27032 | If you read them not, why would you not use a visible means to discuss your fears, before you divulged them? |
A27032 | If you would, why did you not take an answer when I gave it you; nor so much as mention it, as if you read it not, when you call for another? |
A27032 | In your Writings you do highly approve of that which was the worst part of the change, the setting up of Cromwell to he Protector? |
A27032 | Is Neutrality and Vncertainty the most earnest and open asserting of a doctrine? |
A27032 | Is any man Infallible in Translating? |
A27032 | Is every man Proud, that is not Mad? |
A27032 | Is it all one to say, that[ by Flesh is meant not only Indwelling sin, and to say It is not meant at all?] |
A27032 | Is it by Inspiration from Heaven, such as the Prophets had, that the true Reading must be known? |
A27032 | Is it not Gods direction to us, to take him for a false Prophet who prophesieth that which cometh not to pass? |
A27032 | Is it now come to that? |
A27032 | Is it pride only to differ from you, and to write against your judgement? |
A27032 | Is it that the Pope pretendeth to be a Political Head? |
A27032 | Is it the King and Parliament, or the Bishops whose Impositions have this sad effect? |
A27032 | Is it the number corrupted that must decide the case? |
A27032 | Is not Honesty among these men become a word of a new signification? |
A27032 | Is not Impenitency a greater Reproach to us, in the eyes of those by whom we suffer, than our Repentance would be? |
A27032 | Is not every Minister of Christ a publick person? |
A27032 | Is not his Writing published by himself? |
A27032 | Is not sin odious whereever it is found? |
A27032 | Is not that our own doing which we give a reason of, and say that we did it through fear? |
A27032 | Is not the honour of the Spirit of God more tenderly to be preserved than his, or yours, or mine, or any mans? |
A27032 | Is not this a concession that some part is so judged of? |
A27032 | Is not this a fine man to dispute with? |
A27032 | Is not this like the Hypocrites to blow a Trumpet before, and to do your actions that they may be seen of men? |
A27032 | Is the whole Church any thing besides the particular members? |
A27032 | Is there a promise of Infallibility to them? |
A27032 | Is there a word in Acts 15. to forbid all Church communion with those that taught even this subverting false doctrine? |
A27032 | Is there any falshood in all this? |
A27032 | Is there any other matter? |
A27032 | Is there no Gathered Churches( as they are called) that have one Railing woman in, or one Covetous person? |
A27032 | Is this Conscience scrupulous of Communion with us Publicans and sinners? |
A27032 | Is this only to declare your humility? |
A27032 | Is this to approve the setting up of Cromwell to be Protector? |
A27032 | It may be it may be a rich or powerful man, that will persecute or divide the Church if he be cast out? |
A27032 | It may be so: But will that do your work, and hold at last? |
A27032 | It s a wonder that corrupted nature should be so eager to have companions in sin, when it doth but tend to its own confusion? |
A27032 | Let me ask you one question more; Is it necessary to Salvation that men be able to read? |
A27032 | Let us next see Whether there be no way but separation in our Case, to preserve our liberty? |
A27032 | Let your followers mark what Spirit you are of, if you are resolved not to know your self? |
A27032 | May not a good man, yea, a true Prophet, be sometime mistaken? |
A27032 | May not many Prophets truly foretell things to come, and yet those things be a long time suspended and delayed because of the sins of the people? |
A27032 | May not this man as modestly charge Bishop Downame to be a Papist, that hath written so much to prove the Pope to be Antichrist? |
A27032 | May not we Repent? |
A27032 | Mead, Dr. Twisse, Mr. Baily, Mr. Porter,& c. that did more than favour it? |
A27032 | Must all these be separated from( that is almost all the Pastors in the World;) And is there no remedie? |
A27032 | Must he see all Translations that shall judge? |
A27032 | Must he that shall be certain see all the various Copies, or will it serve turn to see some one only? |
A27032 | Must it be once obeying or continual? |
A27032 | Must that Church needs be separated from? |
A27032 | Must they all leave their flocks to come up to London to do it? |
A27032 | Must we not loath our selves for it? |
A27032 | Name the Law that is against the Opinion of the desirableness of a holy Government of all the world? |
A27032 | Name the person that ever suffered for that Opinion? |
A27032 | Nay did I ever write or speak one word for it? |
A27032 | O but, you will reply, Is not this like Hypocrites, to do your actions to be seen of men? |
A27032 | O what a blinding thing is selfish partiality? |
A27032 | Of all the silenced Ministers in London or England, how small a number is there that have[ sharply reproved] the silencers? |
A27032 | Of the Possibility of salvation for some called Papist? |
A27032 | Or at least, why may not the Pope be said to lay such a claim? |
A27032 | Or can you believe that Christ was not usually or often present there? |
A27032 | Or dare you charge them with hypocrisie, as if they spake not as they thought? |
A27032 | Or did you dream that the Arminians hold all that the Jesuits hold? |
A27032 | Or did you dream that the Arminians hold all that the Jesuits hold? |
A27032 | Or do they receive what they can not receive? |
A27032 | Or do you yet take your self to be no sinner? |
A27032 | Or is all this on presumption, that his Reader will not know what I have said? |
A27032 | Or is it that he claimeth to be a Spiritual Head or Governour? |
A27032 | Or must they every one publish his reproof in Print? |
A27032 | Or nothing but what God commanded? |
A27032 | Or what opportunity hath he to know all their members crimes, and to admonish them? |
A27032 | Or who but a murderer will on pretence of curing, be a divider and dissolver? |
A27032 | Pool''s Vox clamantis, and Mr. Stukeley''s Book, and judge accordingly of others? |
A27032 | Shall he see the Autographs or only the Transcripts? |
A27032 | Shall he that by the Book alone can resolve all these doubts, see it in the Original, or only in Translations? |
A27032 | Should not such temptation and sin be carefully watcht against? |
A27032 | Should they not be the Lights of the world, that can not and should not be hid? |
A27032 | Sir, I am ashamed to spend time- upon such triflings? |
A27032 | Sir, Was it true or false? |
A27032 | Sure it is one thing to say, God saith this, or binds you to this, or forbids you this? |
A27032 | Sure the Licensers are not so bad men, as to prove all dishonest whose Books they License? |
A27032 | That I do with my industry and cunning labour to overthrow our foundation: Hath this man written more for the foundation than those three Books? |
A27032 | That I glory that I am accounted the Ishmael of the age( which is intimated in the question) or boast of mens contradiction? |
A27032 | That men can yet take that for the reforming way, which hath destroyed Reformation, and brought us into all the confusions we are in? |
A27032 | The charge of Hypocrisie for joyning in what we approve not? |
A27032 | The former Non- formists said, The filth of nature can not be sufficiently spoken of? |
A27032 | The question is not, whether I be so regardable, as to be worthy notice? |
A27032 | The question that I spake to was only[ Whether I was as guilty in stirring up and fomenting that War as any one whatsoever?] |
A27032 | Therefore I hope you are gratified ▪ and who will now contradict you? |
A27032 | This is another visible falshood in matter of fact: Alas Brother, that you should no more heed what you read or write? |
A27032 | This is yet more than the former: Alas, have you cast off all heed what you say, and all common modesty in your reports? |
A27032 | To set up and pull down, do and undo, own and disown, as by the Spirit of God? |
A27032 | To whom is it that you would have all the Countrey Ministers speak against our silencing? |
A27032 | Was Mr. Archer but Neutral? |
A27032 | Was Mr. Mead, and Dr. Twisse but Neutral? |
A27032 | Was it a blot on Dr. Owens honesty that his Books are Licensed? |
A27032 | Was not Arminius himself against Prelacy and Ceremonies? |
A27032 | Was not Nathan deceived, when he encouraged David to build the Temple? |
A27032 | Was not Samuel so, when he took Eliab to be the Lords anointed? |
A27032 | We have been used to call that Government Spiritual, which is done by the Word and Church Keyes, and consequently the Governours Spiritual? |
A27032 | Well, but what is the crime that maketh our Communion unlawful? |
A27032 | Were all the Non- conformists of one mind about Arminianisme? |
A27032 | What Authority are these statutes of? |
A27032 | What bitter enmity is here exprest against the Principles of Love, and Vnity, and Concord, and Peace, and Sobriety it self? |
A27032 | What eyes then have you that can not see that which I copiously and expresly speak? |
A27032 | What if Aurelian or Dioclesian forbid Church- assemblies: will once obeying them nullifie all the Churches, or make their Communion unlawful? |
A27032 | What if God Record even good mens sins, and tell a David what evil they should bring upon his house? |
A27032 | What if another E. B. were among them and should say, How proud are you to expect that we should all regard your words, as if you were our Pole- star? |
A27032 | What if erroneously it be imposed on the Church to meet at an inconvenient time or place? |
A27032 | What if it be Imposed on the Church, to use a Translation of the Bible that hath some errour in( And is there any without?) |
A27032 | What if some flaw or errour in Chronologie on smaller- matters, were in their imposed Confession, which the Pastour erroneously subscribeth to? |
A27032 | What if the Presbyterians think the Independents way of entrance to be undue? |
A27032 | What mean you then to tell me of a change? |
A27032 | What means is there left in the world to exempt a man from the malignant calumnies of this Judge of the Churches? |
A27032 | What more apparent than that the consequent should be but this? |
A27032 | What need is there of learning reason, sobriety or modesty to enable any man to dispute and seem Orthodox at this rate? |
A27032 | What not sanctified Free- will? |
A27032 | What, a Head without a Body? |
A27032 | When I had set down at least thirty three Vntruths which he deliberately dared to write and publish, did you ever read such a pittiful vindication? |
A27032 | When a Church is to be separated from for approving sin? |
A27032 | When it is much of the sense of the three first and greatest Petitions in the Lords prayer? |
A27032 | When many Copies so much differ as they do, is it not certain that some of them erred? |
A27032 | When the world rings of it? |
A27032 | When we are freed from the Condition of the Law of Works, is Repentance become so intollerable and hard a Condition? |
A27032 | When you might have come to a certain knowledge? |
A27032 | When you said you had done, will you not have done writing untruths? |
A27032 | Where did I ever deny any Activeness? |
A27032 | Where did I say, that men of the judgement of Peter or Paul, of Augustine or Prosper, wrote against me? |
A27032 | Whether I approved of setting up Cromwell to be Protector? |
A27032 | Whether I disclaimed any Activeness in the first War? |
A27032 | Whether Mr. E. B. be a Seeker, and separate from all Churches, as well as from all Parochial? |
A27032 | Whether all Christian liberty must be maintained? |
A27032 | Whether all they whose sin brings Judgements, must be hated of all and killed? |
A27032 | Whether calling Dividers to Repent,& c. be to make them odious? |
A27032 | Whether every untruth be a lye? |
A27032 | Whether he be an Hypocrite, who joyneth with any manner of Worship which he approveth not? |
A27032 | Whether if we separate not we sell the truth about Christs Soveraignty? |
A27032 | Whether it is an indispensible duty to maintain all our Christ ● an liberty, or what? |
A27032 | Whether my Actions be noted, is a matter of fact? |
A27032 | Whether no Church may be communicated with that is not such as Christ called and designed it to be? |
A27032 | Whether not separating be prejudicial to a fundamental, viz Christs Soveraignty? |
A27032 | Whether the true Reading and uncorruptness of particular Texts be sufficiently known by the light of the Scripture alone? |
A27032 | Whether there be little difference between persecuting, and not sharply reproving it? |
A27032 | Whether there be no way but separation, to preserve our Christian liberty? |
A27032 | Whether to be present where things are used in Gods Worship which he commanded not, be a sin? |
A27032 | Which are the Laws? |
A27032 | Which are wounded and torn by such Reformers? |
A27032 | Which of them is it that the man would have me grieve for grieving? |
A27032 | Who can tell where to find this Proteus? |
A27032 | Who is it now that prejudiceth fundamentalls? |
A27032 | Who is there that will deny that A holy and Righteous Government in the hands of holy and righteous men, would be a blessing to the world? |
A27032 | Who talkt of the whole? |
A27032 | Who were the great Antiadiaphorists in Germany, but Iliricus, Amsdorsius, Gallus and other Lutherans? |
A27032 | Who will plead for Oppression? |
A27032 | Why do you refuse the imputation of your own Untruths, if you have not the least free- will to forbear them? |
A27032 | Why doth not the doing it without constraint( as is said) make it as unlawful as obedience? |
A27032 | Why may not I in my travail communicate with a Church whose members and Discipline I know not? |
A27032 | Why then do you write two invectives to cure their esteem of me? |
A27032 | Why then might they not do so to his? |
A27032 | Why then will he publish that which himself supposeth to be my glorying? |
A27032 | Why will not obeying a Minister or de ● ● ver make it as unlawful as obeying a King? |
A27032 | Why would you no more regard your reputation, than to recite such a passage as this? |
A27032 | Will all this experience teach us nothing? |
A27032 | Will any Christian charge this doctrine to be erroneous? |
A27032 | Will you communicate with none that holdeth any thing( yea any errour) which the Jesuits hold? |
A27032 | Will you end as you begun? |
A27032 | Will you teach men to say against Gods command, I must not be so Proud as to think that my example will be observed or regarded? |
A27032 | Will your Reader doubt whether you should repent of such things as words of Impudency unbeseeming a man of understanding? |
A27032 | Will your followers still believe such an open self- contradicting false accuser? |
A27032 | Yea or ever heard them speak for themselves? |
A27032 | Yea or that knew these particular Books were the same that the Apostles wrote, without alteration, till some one told it them? |
A27032 | Yea, how few even of the strictest separating Churches are they, that neglect not Discipline upon some one person? |
A27032 | Yea, or Aaron that made the Golden Calf? |
A27032 | You deny not that your Brother Powel was mistaken? |
A27032 | You grant that we are not to have Communion with a Diocesane Church as such, and that we are not to own Diocesane Bishops? |
A27032 | You tell us anon that Prophets, Nathan, Samuel, and good men have been mistaken? |
A27032 | You — will not be beholding to an Act of Indempnity, but stand upon your Innocency? |
A27032 | [ There being but little difference in the sight of God,& c.] And what should I do with you, when you cast me into such a streight? |
A27032 | and did he believe himself, or could he possibly believe himself, that I approved of the setting up of Cromwell to be Protector? |
A27032 | and how? |
A27032 | and is to be vehemently desired, and sought by just and lawful means? |
A27032 | and many of his followers? |
A27032 | and must we not Repent, if we will be forgiven? |
A27032 | and one which he mentioneth and wrote against himself? |
A27032 | and so Christ had no Church, and was no Christ? |
A27032 | and so advance my reputation? |
A27032 | and so of the rest? |
A27032 | and such like? |
A27032 | and that he contradicted his own Soveraignty? |
A27032 | and that you are the fittest man to be the accuser of them? |
A27032 | and the Anabaptists of them both,& c. Must they all therefore warm all men not to hear each other? |
A27032 | and what a plague his numbring the people brought on his Kingdom; and so of others? |
A27032 | and whether it must be separated from? |
A27032 | and which so many have publickly preached against, both formerly and of late? |
A27032 | and yet be a perfect Saviour? |
A27032 | but whether de facto any do note what I do? |
A27032 | not a Receiving obediential power? |
A27032 | or Impressions? |
A27032 | or any form besides the Relation of the particular members? |
A27032 | or from all that sin in their entrance into the Ministry? |
A27032 | or impose this or that Metre or Tune on them in singing of Psalms? |
A27032 | or no great sinner? |
A27032 | or say any thing else that he hath list to say? |
A27032 | or that you speak evil of the Books which you never read? |
A27032 | or they that lose more of their Love, than of their Liberties? |
A27032 | or to ordinary( at least sanctified) Reason by evidence in the Text it self? |
A27032 | or whether he give us cause to believe that God hath revealed more to him than to them, while he himself can no better reveal it unto others? |
A27032 | or will one serve( as aforesaid) And how shall he judge of those he seeth not? |
A27032 | so they hold the same with all Christians, that there is a God, and a Christ and the Scripture true? |
A27032 | that after twenty years such doleful experience, we will not confess the sinfulness of our divisions? |
A27032 | that is, because it sinneth not through disability, but negligence or wilfulness? |
A27032 | the Cross, and in the other[ he despised the shame]( for so two of them do differ:) how shall he prove which Printer erred? |
A27032 | what Copies most perfect? |
A27032 | what Oath is it that you mean? |
A27032 | what none? |
A27032 | what words are false Printed, and what right? |
A27032 | when he sent out Judas himself, who was first a Thief and after a Traytor? |
A27032 | where then is the insignificancy of these words? |
A27032 | which are the Statutes in force? |
A27032 | which of these is the non- sense? |
A27032 | which so many Books accuse me of? |
A27032 | who dissenteth from you in this? |
A27032 | yea, and when in the same paragraph you are renewing the same sin? |
A92925 | ? |
A92925 | A secure method of disputing? |
A92925 | A weighty caution? |
A92925 | AND now, understanding Reader, what dos''t thou expect further? |
A92925 | Again, since it hath been shown they may renounce the Faith of a fallible Church, why may they not renounce her Government? |
A92925 | Again, was there not room enough in Antioch( and the like may much better be said of Rome) for two to preside& preach in? |
A92925 | Again, were S. Peter necessitated to iustify himself, how does it follow that he must therefore need''s speak first? |
A92925 | An hard case, that after thrice saing, Simon Son of Ionas louest thou me? |
A92925 | And are not these pretty mistakes? |
A92925 | And how proves hee that the Apostles intended this creed as a list of all fundamentalls? |
A92925 | And how proves hee that this country had any by that Council? |
A92925 | And how proves hee the application, that England was never anciently under the Pope as Head of the Church? |
A92925 | And how proves hee, this? |
A92925 | And is not that agreable to Peter''s preaching the Iews and Paul''s to the Gentiles when they met in a City where were multitudes of both? |
A92925 | And lastly, who doubts but that Iudas in Hell hath a proper place of his own which no other damned soul hath? |
A92925 | And what is this Principle of mine? |
A92925 | And what stone is this? |
A92925 | And what was that? |
A92925 | And why? |
A92925 | And, Whenas hee asks mee, what lawfull Iurisdiction could remain to the Pope in England, where such and such laws had force? |
A92925 | And, how proves hee the Primitive Church exacted no more? |
A92925 | Are there no Negative Testimonies in the words? |
A92925 | Are these men fit to write Controversies; who can not, or will not, write common sence? |
A92925 | Are they contain''d in the Creed onely? |
A92925 | Are they demonstrative or rigorous Evidences? |
A92925 | Are they of faith, or opinions onely? |
A92925 | Are those doctrines their 39 Articles? |
A92925 | Are you at least united with them? |
A92925 | Are you wiser than they were in the Art of Governing as to this point? |
A92925 | Articles in that creed? |
A92925 | Articles, in which are many things( as hee wel knows) not found nor pretended to bee found in the Apostles creed? |
A92925 | Because they cry Lord, Lord? |
A92925 | But are not there near an hundred times that number, who have skirmish''t against us in particular Controversies? |
A92925 | But do not others call her so besides her own Advocates? |
A92925 | But how proves he that then they must have lost their reason? |
A92925 | But is not this merciless rigour? |
A92925 | But is this all the shame? |
A92925 | But is this all? |
A92925 | But perhaps he means they were Roman- Catholicks; if so, then let me ask, does he mean that they were of our Profession ere they renounc''t it? |
A92925 | But then it should be ask''d what necessity was there of exciting a greater care in S. Peter in particular? |
A92925 | But was there no design in alledging this testimony, or can he make it, though quite contrary to his tenet, serve his turn for nothing? |
A92925 | But what if I show the Doctor, that he hath contributed great mill- stones and huge logges towards the making this Wind- mill of his? |
A92925 | But what is the Ground of his exception? |
A92925 | But what needs any Iudge to determine or decide that which Dr. H. himself hath confest here in his Reply and Answer? |
A92925 | But what said the two appearances of the same Romanist? |
A92925 | But who is the Vmpire to decide this contradiction- quarrell? |
A92925 | But why good Dr.? |
A92925 | But why is he imagin''d the Penman of but at least the first part of Schism Disarm''d? |
A92925 | But, alas, how far are these two from being added together or conjoyned? |
A92925 | But, how dealt Dr. Stapleton with that good man M. Calv ● n? |
A92925 | But, how does hee clear himself of this shuffling nonsence? |
A92925 | But, if they bee necessary, then why does hee call them opinions onely, and that too of an inferiour nature? |
A92925 | But, is there no particularity in order to S. Peter? |
A92925 | But, what matters it what this statute sayes? |
A92925 | But, why is hee, in these his endeavours to vindicate his Church from Schism, so backwards to clear this concerning point? |
A92925 | Can any man in reason imagin I was ignorant that such was their tenet, since I impugn it in this present controversy, as Schismatical? |
A92925 | Can not one be a Bishop, but he must sit in a council before his betters? |
A92925 | Can that bee necessary to bee held or known, which hath no necessary Grounds to make it either held or known? |
A92925 | Can there bee greater abuses objected than these in your Grounds? |
A92925 | Did I say S. Peter was an Arch- bishop and the other two his suffragans? |
A92925 | Did ever man''s Reason run counter in this manner, or his insincerity so resolutely persist never to acknowledge any lapse? |
A92925 | Did they ever make laws to renounce and abrogate the Popes Authority, and define absolutely against essentiall right? |
A92925 | Do Duellers( if their quarrell be serious) use to spare their enemy, and not hurt him in that place where they see him unguarded? |
A92925 | Do not truth and certainty involve essentially in their notions an oppositenes and contrarietie to falshood& error? |
A92925 | Do not you know us? |
A92925 | Do the whole multitude of beleevers hold the bridle& govern themselves? |
A92925 | Do you go about to show that I put not down the Authors words aright, but mangledly& corruptly to my onely& best advantage, as your custome is? |
A92925 | Doe not our eyes and the experience of the whole world testifie this to be so? |
A92925 | Does it prove that the Authour of this welsh manuscript was worth a straw? |
A92925 | Does it then follow, from a Bishops being Head of the Priests in his Diocese, that there is no degree of Authority Superiour to his? |
A92925 | Does not all the world see that the pretended Church of England stands now otherwise in order to the Church of Rome, than it did in H. the 7ths dayes? |
A92925 | Does not common sence inform us that in this cause each City is a particular, that is, one compleat self bounded Common- wealth? |
A92925 | Does not true signifie not- false? |
A92925 | Does such a trifler deserve a Reply? |
A92925 | Eastern Bishops, were gone, ere this Canon,( which is the third in that Council) was made? |
A92925 | For how can a proof conclude evidently unles the inference be necessary? |
A92925 | For how can one separate from the whole Church, unless he separate both from his Superiours and equals too? |
A92925 | For how should conscience be inreressed to defend positions held upon no better ground, with any eagernesse, unlesse reason be interessed first? |
A92925 | For otherwise to what purpose was it to make an interrogation concerning a greater degree of love? |
A92925 | For what Principles have they to character a true beleever? |
A92925 | For what hurt is it to S. Peter''s Headship among the Apostles, if some went one way, some another, to preach? |
A92925 | For what would he infer hence? |
A92925 | For what? |
A92925 | For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat or he that serveth? |
A92925 | For why may not we forsake the Churche''s Communion, if she hath no power to bind to unity in Faith which makes us one of hers? |
A92925 | For, how can any man be bound in reason to show that thing sounding in his behalf, upon which neither he nor his cause relies? |
A92925 | For, of whom should we imagin in reason such a question was ask''t, but of such persons? |
A92925 | For, why should any break Church- Communion as long as hee can keep it with conscience? |
A92925 | Fourthly, what a miserable weaknesse is it to quote this Father against me for using harsh language, who himself uses far harsher? |
A92925 | Good: did not Paul and Titus do the same in other places, were they therefore equall in Authority? |
A92925 | Grant it, who ever affirmed that Fundamentals could be false? |
A92925 | Grant it: what is this to our purpose? |
A92925 | Grant the inference, shown lately to be nothing worth, whas tenet of ours does his conclusion contradict? |
A92925 | Grant this too, what follows hence against the Pope''s Authory? |
A92925 | Had he( meaning S. Peter) any Iurisdiction over the Churches of Asia? |
A92925 | Had not the King the sword in his own hands? |
A92925 | Had not the secular Governours the sword in their hand? |
A92925 | Hath not each Catholike Bishop the same now a dayes over his private Diocese, and yet remains subject to the head of God''s Church notwithstanding? |
A92925 | Hath not this Dr. of Divinity a strange reach of reason, who can conclude men equall in Authority because he finds their names in the same place? |
A92925 | He was asked there,( and I ask him here again) why he omitted Schism against the Head of God''s Church? |
A92925 | Hee asks how I know S r H. found no other Antiquities in it? |
A92925 | Hee asks, if this bee the language of the Roman Schools? |
A92925 | Hee replies: what then were Watham and Heath,& c. all Protestants? |
A92925 | His Grounds? |
A92925 | How came hee then to take notice of this toy? |
A92925 | How can this stand with his Principles, who acknowledges ours a true Church, that is, not hereticall? |
A92925 | How come then the words 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to signify principall place? |
A92925 | How comes this then to be a falsification when not one word is shown to be falsify''d? |
A92925 | How is it possible then a man indued with the common light of reason can hold a thing true and yet not hold it''s opposite false? |
A92925 | How much more credit were it to lose a bad cause by speaking out candidly, than to strive to maintain it by such pittiful shifts? |
A92925 | How my Ld of Derry digresses from a Papall Authority to a Patriarchall; that is from t? |
A92925 | How shall wee know they serve the same Lord? |
A92925 | How then follows it, that they have changed Christ''s doctrine by addition, who hold more points than are in that creed of the Apostles? |
A92925 | How then was it so proper for à Collection of Ecclesiasticall Councils? |
A92925 | How then, my Lord? |
A92925 | How would you take it if one should spit in your face, and justify the affront because his breath is sweet? |
A92925 | I answer whether they blew their noses or no it matters not; but, did they renounce the Pope''s Authority as Head of the Church? |
A92925 | I answer, grant it; what follows hence? |
A92925 | I ask are they bound or no to believe the Church, when they have but probability to the contrary? |
A92925 | I ask, are they necessary or no? |
A92925 | I ask, can that whole multitude consent in a palpable errour in things visible, or no? |
A92925 | I ask, did hee measure the Land, and number the saxons? |
A92925 | I ask, has hee read the British laws in those times? |
A92925 | I ask, have they any influence or efficacitie at all upon the conclusion or thing they are brought for, or no? |
A92925 | I ask, was not my answer pertinent to his words, the Governours might erre, which was my onely business at that time? |
A92925 | I ask, what kinde of things are their thirty nine Articles? |
A92925 | I ask; what is this to the pretence that their solemne departure was found v. 29. which hee cited for it? |
A92925 | IN MALA CAVSA NON possunt aliter; at malam causam quis coëgit eos habere? |
A92925 | If he startle at this, and demand by what means I can give him such an assurance? |
A92925 | If it do, produce it; if not, why do you alledge this more experience? |
A92925 | If not( as your eyes witnes''t is not) then how are you their Brothers or of their community? |
A92925 | If not, how are you then of one community or Brotherhood as Governed? |
A92925 | If not, how does hee know, or how can hee affirm this? |
A92925 | If not, where is the Vnity or common Headship of the whole, Church? |
A92925 | If the Pope pretend onely to be a Primate or Patriarch,& c. What If he be? |
A92925 | If they bee not necessary, why does hee seem to grant they are, by saying onely that they are not so necessary? |
A92925 | If they can, what means that grumbling parenthesis of the maior part, and to what end or purpose was it brought, since all might erre? |
A92925 | If this were his sole intent there, then why did himself professedly go about to evidence, p. 70. l. 4. what he tells us here needs no evidencing? |
A92925 | In Answer: does hee say, hee could not build on another''s foundation, or, as Dr. H. expresses it Reply p. 56. had not right to doe it? |
A92925 | In the name of wonder where shall we look for Dr. H''s proofs? |
A92925 | Is Brittain at least? |
A92925 | Is England named in the Council of Ephesus, which exempted Cyprus from the Patriarch of Antioch? |
A92925 | Is it a greater obstinacy to deny a Governour taxes, than to rebell absolutely against him? |
A92925 | Is it any wrong to them, or foule play in S. W. to affirm that Dr. H. and his Friends will not speak a contradiction? |
A92925 | Is it not of faith with them, that there is such a thing as God''s words; though it bee not in that creed? |
A92925 | Is it possible Mr. H. must be continually obliged by his cause to such affected insincerity, as still to counterfeit the mistake of the question? |
A92925 | Is it possible Mr. H. should think his Reader so silly, as to take such ridiculous tergiversations for a sufficient Answer? |
A92925 | Is it possible one should trip so often in running over a litle leaf of paper almost as intelligible as legible? |
A92925 | Is it private reason? |
A92925 | Is it the private Spirit? |
A92925 | Is it the true sence of it? |
A92925 | Is it to acknowledge the letter of the Scripture sufficient? |
A92925 | Is not Schism Disarm''d all the same style, or is it at all like the style of the Catholick Gentleman''s Letter? |
A92925 | Is not he that sitteth at meat? |
A92925 | Is not the Ground of all faith a necessary point? |
A92925 | Is not this Dr. a great wit to bring such unauthoriz''d& unlikely trifles for his excuse? |
A92925 | Is not this a fine upshot of such an elaborate answer? |
A92925 | Is not this a gallant disputant? |
A92925 | Is not this a rare disputant? |
A92925 | Is not this a solid man? |
A92925 | Is not this a worthy similitude? |
A92925 | Is not this an undaunted Adversary, who dares aduenture to come into the lists of disputation, armed onely with such Bull- rushes as these? |
A92925 | Is not this as evident, as that the sun shines; and may it not, with equall modesty, bee den''yd that there ever was such a man as K. H. the 8th? |
A92925 | Is not this excellent? |
A92925 | Is not this handsom? |
A92925 | Is not this neat? |
A92925 | Is not this strange Logick? |
A92925 | Is there a greater misery then to stand trifling with such a brabbler? |
A92925 | Is there any easier deference than to for goe a probability upon her contrary affirmation? |
A92925 | Is there any orderly common ty of Government obliging this Head to correspend with the other Head? |
A92925 | Is this a sober discourse, which falls reelingly to the Ground of it self, when none pushes it? |
A92925 | Is this a sufficient Plea for your breaking God''s Church? |
A92925 | Is this man fit to have the charge of souls, who professes to set more by his temporal than their eternal felicity? |
A92925 | Knot or I talk of Infallibility in things unnecessary? |
A92925 | Lastly, he asks, upon this occasion, what contradictories may not this wonder- working faculty of S. W''s reconcile? |
A92925 | Lastly, this being then his solely- reliedon proof, after what a strange manner he manages it? |
A92925 | Lastly, what means his inference of his being clearly superiour in that council? |
A92925 | Let another take his office? |
A92925 | Make an Heretike speak out( saith S. Augustin) and you have h ● lf- confuted him But, what reason gives hee why hee disapproves of my advise? |
A92925 | Must consent of fathers? |
A92925 | Must not he be a very wise man, who sticks not, first to build upon, next to vindicate so wise an Authority? |
A92925 | Must not hee now bee very quarelsome, who can wrangle with such an innocent and plain truth? |
A92925 | Must the common doctrine of the universall Church interpret it? |
A92925 | My question was whether they could erre, and conspire to tell an open ly in a thing visible as the Sun at noon- day? |
A92925 | Needs any mory answer be given to particulars which one yeelds to, than to say he grants them? |
A92925 | Next, I would ask him, what means the word 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, this? |
A92925 | Next, hee sayes, it may become hereticall or Mahumetan? |
A92925 | Next, it was ask''t him why S. Peter could not be head of the Church but God must needs watch all occasions to manifest it by a particular miracles? |
A92925 | No, my Lord, I styl''d the Pope''s office, the Bridle; do bridles use to ride upon horses? |
A92925 | Not objected? |
A92925 | Now how can any man in reason imagine I should not mention his greatest faults, that is, not use harsh words? |
A92925 | Now what reply attempts Dr. H. against an objection which enervates all the whole Authority he relies on& shows him baffled in his own testimonies? |
A92925 | Now who sees not that an humble desire, that he would not doe it easily, intimates or supposes he had a power to doe it absolutely? |
A92925 | Now, then, I would ask, if this be so, how many Iews S. Paul might convert& govern, and how many S. Peter? |
A92925 | Now, what does Mr. H? |
A92925 | Now, what excuse brings the Bishop for this fundamentall shuffling, importing no less than the avoiding the whole question? |
A92925 | Occulta hic oritur quaestio, Quid igitur? |
A92925 | Or how does hee prove the Land must necessarily bee peopled, as fully as before, immediately after a Conquest so universall and cruell? |
A92925 | Or was it for this opinion of the Pope above the Council, and others of this strain? |
A92925 | Or what novelty is it that persons of equall Authority should doe things by common consent? |
A92925 | Or, do some Governors onely hold the bridle& weild by it the multitude of beleevers? |
A92925 | Or, will it bee deem''d by any indifferent man a competent proof against true faith, to say, that such and such hereticks deny''d it? |
A92925 | Possum- ne ego ex te exculpere hoc verum? |
A92925 | Pray does S r H. neglect all passages which are not of this grave nature? |
A92925 | Reader, canst thou imagin a greater blasphemy? |
A92925 | Reply, had he ever a particular Commission given him, correspondent to the particularizing promise, but here? |
A92925 | Secondly, hee asks, how does it appear that the British Bishops did assent to that Canon? |
A92925 | Secondly, hee tells us, our Ancestours did not stupidly sit still and blow their noses, when they saw themselves thus abused? |
A92925 | Secondly, if they were Protestants, hee demands, of which sect they were? |
A92925 | Sixthly, grant all those Abuses had been true; was there no other remedy but division? |
A92925 | The generall words of the father signify nothing to your purpose; unles they bee apply''d to your party: and who makes the application? |
A92925 | The most frantick Enthusiasts then have an equall pretence? |
A92925 | These are our manifest and undeniable proofs: what arguments does hee hring to blinde the Evidences? |
A92925 | These are the points between us; what say you to these? |
A92925 | Thirdly is it such news that Authors should be of severall opinions? |
A92925 | This is my present charge against him, consisting of these foure branches? |
A92925 | Vnder that of Hereticks? |
A92925 | Was ever man so ignorant of the common laws of disputing? |
A92925 | Was ever such an Answer contriu''d? |
A92925 | Was ever such an explication heard of? |
A92925 | Was ever such frivolous stuff heard of? |
A92925 | Was this power it self thus cast out before? |
A92925 | Was this the ordinary Government of the Primitive Church? |
A92925 | Well, my L d, are you and they both joyntly under the Government of those Patriarchs, or any other common Government? |
A92925 | Were not this a wise and edifying Sermon? |
A92925 | What Nations were these? |
A92925 | What Symptomes are these, and of what? |
A92925 | What a mysterious piece of sence is here? |
A92925 | What a piece of wit is here? |
A92925 | What a wise task it was to consult all the multitude of Grammars extant for such a trifle, which was just at his nose? |
A92925 | What becomes then of good S. Iohn Baptist, who called the ill- prepared Iews a generation of vipers? |
A92925 | What can be more expresse and full? |
A92925 | What could I expect other? |
A92925 | What dare not I, and do not I affirm? |
A92925 | What does Mr. H? |
A92925 | What does this Dr. of Divinity? |
A92925 | What follows in his 25. page is onely his own sayings? |
A92925 | What insuperable difficulties the Bp''s sooth- saying fancy proposes? |
A92925 | What is this to the Question whether these words[ the Papacy as such, as it is now maintain''d by many] cohere in sence or no? |
A92925 | What man in his wits ever pretended it or imagin''d, but that the Apostles might count mony wrong, or be mistaken in knowing what a clock it was? |
A92925 | What means hee by the Eastern Bishops? |
A92925 | What means this Dr. by this instance? |
A92925 | What need three testimonies, strung together, to shew one restrictive word? |
A92925 | What then? |
A92925 | What then? |
A92925 | What then? |
A92925 | What? |
A92925 | Whence, or from what Authority? |
A92925 | Where then is your Brother hood? |
A92925 | Where''s the difference? |
A92925 | Whereas I onely ask''t him why he did affirm it without knowing it? |
A92925 | Whether could any other Apostle by any power given him by Christ countermand or interpose in them? |
A92925 | Which shows now the greater charity? |
A92925 | Whither away my Lord? |
A92925 | Who for bids them to go to visit the sick with them, or such like religious duties? |
A92925 | Who knows not likewise that they stand accused by us of the fact of renouncing an Authority far higher than Patriarchall? |
A92925 | Whom do you impugn then? |
A92925 | Why so, my L d? |
A92925 | Why? |
A92925 | Why? |
A92925 | Will any man endeavour to turn one out of possession lawfully, without a plea, or produce a plea without either any motive or reason in it? |
A92925 | Will he say it is an usurpation? |
A92925 | Will hee have mee reckon up again the exceptions against it? |
A92925 | Will hee say,''t is that of the secular power being Head of the Church, or that of Bishops? |
A92925 | Will less serve than such proofs to iustify such a separation? |
A92925 | Would not Supreme Bishop or Governour have served, without being thus unfortunately witty in calling it a Summum genus? |
A92925 | Yet Dr. H. assures us that''t is in vain to speak of those to him; and why? |
A92925 | ],[ Paris? |
A92925 | and a greater danger of disaccepting ours in them, than theirs in the Puritans? |
A92925 | and do not the Romanists excommunicate you and think you of another Religion because you hold it? |
A92925 | and how can reason be obliged to the serious, and vigorous patronage of what it felf knows certainly that it knows not whether it be true or no? |
A92925 | and is not this time extoll''d as that in which the Reformation in this point began? |
A92925 | and what a miserable life does he lead in turning over leaves daily to so litle purpose? |
A92925 | and, if it does not, what is it more then Dr. H''s own saying? |
A92925 | and, why? |
A92925 | as not such? |
A92925 | asks us who must put the case, or state the question? |
A92925 | because they believe them not I ask, had they a demonstration they were false? |
A92925 | can not one be so without being particular Bishop of each see in the world? |
A92925 | could not he be Bishop there and speak last both, without giving the sentence? |
A92925 | did I add or change any title in favour of it? |
A92925 | did it not ly in his power to right himself as hee ● isted, and to admit those pretended eneroachments onely so far as hee thought iust and fitting? |
A92925 | did it not ly in their power to chuse whether they would admit or no things destructive to their Rights? |
A92925 | does to draw of his Readers from the point in hand? |
A92925 | for maintaining the substance of the Pope''s Authority held by all? |
A92925 | himself: and upon what Grounds? |
A92925 | how does this vindicate the Church of England or take of my exception? |
A92925 | how then appears it from the words that this was onely an exortation? |
A92925 | how then, and with what face can you pretend I falsify''d it? |
A92925 | if he did not, how can he affirm it, or alledge this for his excuse? |
A92925 | if not, how can it possibly signifie the Gentile part onely, for which hee produced it? |
A92925 | if not, where is their submission of their judgements, where is their believing the Church? |
A92925 | is it of little concernment to examin whether the Grounds bee sufficient or no? |
A92925 | is there not a palbable difference put between the pretended Authorities of imposing points to be held, in us and them? |
A92925 | let us see between whom this all- Communion was broke; between two Churches; and by whom? |
A92925 | make any advantage of it? |
A92925 | more than these? |
A92925 | nay did I add, detract, or change the least particle how unconcerning soever, or do you goe about to show any such thing? |
A92925 | nay was it not possible this might have been don even to the unbeleevers themselves? |
A92925 | or because they call him Lord? |
A92925 | or can all hold what some do not hold? |
A92925 | or can not a Negative testimony testify a Negative point without necessarily recurring to solve Affirmatives? |
A92925 | or did your Lp ever meet a bridle on horsback? |
A92925 | or does he mean perhaps that they remain''d Catholicks after the renouncing it? |
A92925 | or how he could know it having noe ground to know it? |
A92925 | or how is England visibly ▪ united to it, vnder this notion? |
A92925 | or is it, though thus advantageous to the whole Church, to be rejected because of the abuses of particular persons? |
A92925 | or is this the point disputed between Catholicks and Protestants? |
A92925 | or the Papacy with super additions? |
A92925 | or to what end do you huddle together those pretended extravagancies for your vindication? |
A92925 | or was it a friendly part to involve his Friends in his own wise predicament? |
A92925 | or was not the word pasce spoken imperatively by a Master to his servant as apt to signify a Commission as the words, Goe teach all Nations, were? |
A92925 | or what hinders her from doubting, if she sees she may be wrong? |
A92925 | or why he could not be chief of the Apostles without having a greater tongue of fire? |
A92925 | or, is it an undeniable Principle that you ought to endanger your soul where you grant there is no necessity? |
A92925 | or, shall wee have any for the future? |
A92925 | or, what relation hath the pointing out to us such a word to the inferring a conclusion from three testimonies? |
A92925 | our question is about the limitation of Iurisdiction, what serve his testimonies for, or what do they there unles they can prove that? |
A92925 | replies: yes, well enough? |
A92925 | that S. Peter& S. Paul were distinct Bishops there also? |
A92925 | that is, that those many Cities are more ones, that is, many Cōmon- wealths? |
A92925 | that is, was it not in actuall force till and at this time? |
A92925 | the Catholicks, or the Arians? |
A92925 | till Constantine''s time? |
A92925 | unless they be willing to submit their private opinions to her Authority, how can they be said to believe her at all? |
A92925 | was ever common sence so abus''d? |
A92925 | was it not in Peter''s power to elect him? |
A92925 | was this single Abbot either pretended to bee a Council, or these words of his some authentick act of a Council? |
A92925 | were there noe worthier persons present, or did the thing to be concluded onely concern his see, or indeed did it concern it at all? |
A92925 | what Logick can conclude such an Act pardonable by such a Plea? |
A92925 | what does he? |
A92925 | what faith is to bee given, to the most formall bargain made with such Copes- masters of testimonies? |
A92925 | what means then this laying out my words in such a forme? |
A92925 | what need you ask that question? |
A92925 | what saies hee to this? |
A92925 | what then? |
A92925 | what weaker then than to think they were separated from the Church for oppositing those more rigorous pretences? |
A92925 | where is there any supreme Governour, or Governours to whom all are bound to submit, and conform themselves in the common concerns of the Church? |
A92925 | where is your order? |
A92925 | why do you instead of thus doing your duty, stand asking me the same question over again? |
A92925 | would he have it a parenthesis or no? |
A61632 | ''s first Question is, which way the Child cometh to have right to Baptism, any more than all the Infidels Children in the world? |
A61632 | ''s ground? |
A61632 | ''s principles made so many Bishops that every one might have had three or four for his share? |
A61632 | ( Are not these kind words for themselves, considering what he gives to others?) |
A61632 | 18. and that which the Papists give to the Host, when it is carried up and down the streets? |
A61632 | Again, Why should not you bear with lesser contradiction, when others must bear with far greater from you? |
A61632 | Also did not Ridley stand upon his Right to the Bishoprick of London though ready to die? |
A61632 | And How could I do that without proving those Practices to be sinful? |
A61632 | And Is it not the same case here, If Men only afford an occasional Presence, at some parts of our Worship? |
A61632 | And Is this all the Antidote against the Mischief of Separation? |
A61632 | And What could more harden the Papists, then to see Men put no difference betwen these? |
A61632 | And are we now told, That all that can lawfully be done is done? |
A61632 | And as for you, Augustin, Who can with patience read your long and fierce Declamations, against the sober Donatists? |
A61632 | And by that time all these have set up among us, shall we not be in a very hopeful way to preserve the Protestant Religion? |
A61632 | And can not these prevail with Men to do that, which they think in their Consciences they may lawfully do, towards joyning in Communion with us? |
A61632 | And can we think all these persons had praesential and local Communion with Saint Augustin in his Church at Hippo? |
A61632 | And consequently, whether others may not as justly be said to draw away their People from them, as they are charged with the same practice? |
A61632 | And could Mr. B. have found it in his heart to have told him that he did not understand the right constitution of Churches? |
A61632 | And did not he declare, That he came not to dissolve the Law, but to fulfill it? |
A61632 | And did not the false Apostles do so, and have not others followed their examples? |
A61632 | And did not their Example powerfully help forward the Reformation of all Europe? |
A61632 | And did they not give them Authority to doe what they had appointed? |
A61632 | And doth this Kindness only belong to some of our Parochial Churches? |
A61632 | And from whence does it then come, that some Englishmen themselves have so ill an opinion of her at present, and divide rashly from her, as they do? |
A61632 | And how could they make choice of men for their fitness and abilities, when their abilities depended so much on the Apostles laying on of their hands? |
A61632 | And how then can it be imagined, that it has changed its use? |
A61632 | And if Presbytery had been settled upon the Kings Restauration, would they not have continued their Separation? |
A61632 | And if it be, whether the Children of confederated Parents not being confederated themselves, can convey a right to their Children? |
A61632 | And if men be wrongfully excommunicate, are they thereby absolved from all publick Worshipping of God? |
A61632 | And if they could be drawn into the design, would the People submit? |
A61632 | And is all this nothing but to be the Bishop''s Curates, and to officiate in some of his Chapels? |
A61632 | And is it not to their wise conduct, to which next under God, his Word is beholden for its Victories and Triumphs? |
A61632 | And is it probable the Apostle should prescribe a Rule of mutual forbearance, in such a case as this? |
A61632 | And is not a mistake or error of Conscience all one? |
A61632 | And is not every Church- member bound to perform these? |
A61632 | And is not that possible and lies in them to do, which they acknowledge lawful to be done, and can do at some times? |
A61632 | And is promising and performance all one? |
A61632 | And is the Power of the Keys in their hands too? |
A61632 | And is this all? |
A61632 | And must we never Preach against the Papists but when they are present? |
A61632 | And must you, even you, that should be our comfort, become our shame, and break our hearts, and make Men Papists by your Temptation? |
A61632 | And on the other side, hath not Mr. B. complained publickly of the weakness and injudiciousness of too many of the Non- conformist Preachers? |
A61632 | And so many useful Men be incouraged and taken into the Constitution? |
A61632 | And that he complyed with Iohn''s Baptism, because he was to fulfill all righteousness? |
A61632 | And the worst cases imaginable supposed, in stead of that which is really theirs? |
A61632 | And therefore why may not every Church appoint its own Rite of admission of Members into its Body? |
A61632 | And upon all these several bars to the Parents Right, how few Children will be left, that a man can baptize with a safe Conscience? |
A61632 | And was it Idolatry and to be tolerated in 1675? |
A61632 | And was it not very pertinent to this, to shew how far an erroneous conscience may, or may not excuse from sin? |
A61632 | And was this an argument the Power was then in the People? |
A61632 | And were these true Churches all that while, and are not ours so now? |
A61632 | And what Argument can stand before a man of such prowesse in disputing? |
A61632 | And what coherence is there now between this, and the Proof that I bring for the Existence of a Deity? |
A61632 | And what consequence is there from the unlawfulness of the Worship of Images, against our worshipping of God? |
A61632 | And what if it represents subjection to Christ as the Redeemer? |
A61632 | And what is there in Theodoret which contradicts this? |
A61632 | And what is this but to deny Communion with the Church of England? |
A61632 | And what is this to the Impositions of our Church, or Separation on the account of them? |
A61632 | And what is this to the power of the Church? |
A61632 | And what must we do? |
A61632 | And what need a new Church when himself allows occasional distinct Assemblies for greater Edification? |
A61632 | And what then can justifie this Separation, but a difference of Opinion as to some circumstantials in Worship? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what then? |
A61632 | And what was there, which the old Non- conformists more complained of, than the want of a more Preaching Ministery? |
A61632 | And where hath he appointed that there should be no other Churches but particular Congregations? |
A61632 | And whether any part of the People might still own that relation which he had before to them, without palpable disobedience and contempt of Authority? |
A61632 | And whether besides all these, actual confederation and joyning in Church Covenant be not necessary? |
A61632 | And who are these People? |
A61632 | And who is the Schismatick here? |
A61632 | And why should not you bear with my Dissent, as well as I do with yours? |
A61632 | And why should we imagin it otherwise, as to extent of Power and Iurisdiction? |
A61632 | And would he conceal such weighty things from those who were so desirous to find the Truth, and so resolved to adhere to it? |
A61632 | And yet is not this a Professing, Dedicating, Covenanting, Symbolical, Sacramental Sign, as much as the Sign of the Cross is among us? |
A61632 | And, Do we not feel it? |
A61632 | And, Do we not make want of Discipline, one of the Reasons of our Separation? |
A61632 | And, Doth it not plainly signifie, that Errors of Conscience is a protection against Schism? |
A61632 | And, Doth not the Apostle expresly say, That he was made under the Law? |
A61632 | And, Hath he now deserved this at your hands, to have them all thrown in his face, and to be thus upbraided with his former kindness? |
A61632 | And, How is it possible, upon these terms, to have any Peace, or Order, or any establish''d Church? |
A61632 | And, Is this a good ground for Separation, that the Preaching is too good for the People? |
A61632 | And, Is this a good way of Answering, to dissemble the main force of an Argument, that something may seem to be said to it? |
A61632 | And, Is this the Damnable, Devillish, Sacrilegious Schism you talk of? |
A61632 | And, Must such Mens Judgments be taken, concerning the Abilities and Competency of their Ministers? |
A61632 | And, Shall the Holy Office and Calling, which is so agreeable to the VVord, be misliked, because it is called a Priesthood? |
A61632 | And, What could this be for, but to draw People from their Churches, to make up Separate Congregations? |
A61632 | And, What is a Formal Separation if this be not? |
A61632 | And, Wherein doth our Church differ from its first Establishment? |
A61632 | And, Which of them Reads what they think lawful at their own Assemblies? |
A61632 | And, saith he, Shall they use our hands to do their Works, and pull their Freedom out of the Fire? |
A61632 | Are all these Rules now come to nothing but what follows from the nature of the thing? |
A61632 | Are not David''s Psalms the same, whether they be Sung, or Said? |
A61632 | Are not the words express, that they promise both by their Sureties? |
A61632 | Are not these men hugely to seek for Arguments against our Church that talk at this rate? |
A61632 | Are not these sufficient Testimonies that I am your Son, but you must expect my obedience in such a trifling Ceremony as putting off my Hat? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple giving common respect to others as a sort of Idolatry? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple the lawfulness of Infant- baptism among us? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple the validity of our Ordinations, and say, we can have no true Churches, because we renounce Communion with the Pope? |
A61632 | Are there none that scruple the very use of Baptism and the Lords Supper, saying they are not to be literally understood? |
A61632 | Are they Churches rightly constituted, with whom they may joyn in Communion as Members? |
A61632 | Are they Divine or Human? |
A61632 | Are they only the grave and wise Pastors among themselves, which are scorned by such men? |
A61632 | Are you afraid of having too many Friends, that you thus use those, whom you once took to be such? |
A61632 | As for those of the Separation, saith Parker a Noted Non- conformist, Who have Confuted them more than we? |
A61632 | At what Time? |
A61632 | Before I answer this Question, I hope, I may ask another; whence comes this zeal now against a National Church? |
A61632 | Besides, why may not our Ministers be obliged to certify the Bishop, as well as theirs to certify the Presbytery? |
A61632 | But I pray doth it hence follow, that Infants do perform Faith and Repentance by their Sureties? |
A61632 | But Who are these Vsurpers among us, since we have a legal establishment, and we thought Law and Vsurpation contrary to each other? |
A61632 | But after all this, wherein is it that he hath thus contradicted himself? |
A61632 | But are these tolerable inconveniencies? |
A61632 | But as to Abilities and Knowledge fit for Ministers, Are not the People admirable Judges? |
A61632 | But can those be called Schismaticks for not communicating with a Church, who are first excommunicated by that Church? |
A61632 | But did I ever say, there was no Certainty without Infallible Assistance? |
A61632 | But did he ever divide the Church on such an account as this? |
A61632 | But did the Churches of New England allow this for a just Cause? |
A61632 | But do I any where say, that being in the Empire, they were bound to submit to the Roman Church? |
A61632 | But doth he mean any indifferent Rites, or Ceremonies, where the Doctrine is sound? |
A61632 | But doth not Mr. Baxter say, that the universal Church is headed by Christ himself? |
A61632 | But have they no right to their own Souls and to the care of them? |
A61632 | But have we not the same Religion still? |
A61632 | But how could 5000 then doe all this together? |
A61632 | But how then comes he to justifie the Separation from the Church of Rome? |
A61632 | But how? |
A61632 | But if I onely mean a Christian Kingdom, who denies it? |
A61632 | But if men do not sin in making an Image a stated Motive of Worship( whoever said they did not? |
A61632 | But if the Profane must be excluded, by what Law? |
A61632 | But if the Question be, by what way this National Consent is to be declared? |
A61632 | But is it lawful for a Congregation to separate on the account of Infant- Baptism? |
A61632 | But is it said so, in plain words? |
A61632 | But is not all this true supposing that such new species of Churches be so devised and so imposed? |
A61632 | But is this to be looked for? |
A61632 | But let this pass, what follows?) |
A61632 | But suppose the Indulgence be at present strictly limited to Dissenting Protestants; are we sure it shall always so continue? |
A61632 | But the Apostles never gave any such Rules themselves, about outward Modes of Worship with Ceremonies, Feasts, Fasts, Liturgies,& c. What then? |
A61632 | But were these Churches quiet, after this Separation made? |
A61632 | But what ground is there to suppose so much greater means of Edification in the Separate Congregations? |
A61632 | But what have we to do to judge the Members of other Reformed Churches? |
A61632 | But what if they will not? |
A61632 | But what is all this to the purpose? |
A61632 | But what is there in all this to prove that all the Christians in the whole City were then present, and that this Church would hold them all? |
A61632 | But what is there like that in this Epistle to Leo? |
A61632 | But what is there, which the most inveterate enemies of our Church can charge in her doctrine, as new, as false, as absurd? |
A61632 | But what is this dangerous Secret, that they have hitherto kept in, out of meer veneration to the Church of England? |
A61632 | But what is this notorious doctrine?) |
A61632 | But what is this to the proof of the Congregational way? |
A61632 | But what need all this? |
A61632 | But what new and strong Reason doth he bring for it? |
A61632 | But what then? |
A61632 | But whence comes it to pass, that any who think occasional Communion with us to be lawful, should not think themselves obliged to constant Communion? |
A61632 | But wherein lies the unsufferable malignity of that? |
A61632 | But which of all these necessary duties may not be performed within the terms of the Law? |
A61632 | But which will be the greater advantage to him, to see it spread and increase, or care taken in time to suppress it? |
A61632 | But why should you suspect an Erroneous Conscience in the Case? |
A61632 | But you say, they have the same Faith, and they are very Orthodox; Why then, saith he, do they Separate? |
A61632 | But, Did the whole force of my Argument lie there? |
A61632 | But, Were they not Baptized in this Church, and received into Communion with it as Members of it? |
A61632 | But, What sence can Dr. O. here put upon the being otherwise minded: Otherwise than what? |
A61632 | But, Wherein doth it lie? |
A61632 | But, Whither will not Mens Indiscreet Zeal, and love of their own Fancies carry them, especially after 40 years prescription? |
A61632 | But, Why must the King bear all the blame, if Mens Souls be not provided for according to their own wishes? |
A61632 | But, Will not this equally hold against our Church, if it Excommunicates those who can not conform? |
A61632 | By Whom? |
A61632 | By running from one Communion to another?) |
A61632 | Can Mr. B. imagine, that such Men thought themselves still bound to Preach, although they were silenced by our Laws? |
A61632 | Can Mr. B. satisfie his Mind with such Answers? |
A61632 | Can any thing be plainer, than that the Book was written by the Non- conformists, and that Mr. Rathband was only the Publisher of it? |
A61632 | Can these things cause death, and distill poyson into a soul? |
A61632 | D ● they declare Total Communion lawful? |
A61632 | Did I ever in my life say the least thing tending that way? |
A61632 | Did I ever mention Mr. Rathband''s Testimony as a sufficient proof? |
A61632 | Did I not fear, it was some dreadful thing; some notorious heresie, condemned by one or two at least of the four General Councils? |
A61632 | Did I not mention their going from him to the Anabaptists and Quakers, upon the very same ground? |
A61632 | Did he ever repent of holding that Office to his death? |
A61632 | Did he not command his Disciples to go hear the Scribes and Pharisees, because they sate in Moses Chair? |
A61632 | Did he not go up to the Feasts at Ierusalem, as a Member of the Iewish Church, and frequent the Synagogues? |
A61632 | Did he set up separate Congregations, because a square Cap and a Tippet would not go down with him? |
A61632 | Did not Christ appoint Apostles and give them Commission and Authority for that end? |
A61632 | Did not Cranmer and Ridley, and Hooper, and Farrar, and Latimer, all Bishops of this Church, suffer Martyrdom by their Means? |
A61632 | Did not the Apostles appoint Rulers in the several Churches, and charged the People to obey them? |
A61632 | Did not they in all places, as they planted Churches, appoint Officers to teach and govern them? |
A61632 | Did these Men think, the Apostles Woe be unto me if I Preach not the Gospel, did reach to their case? |
A61632 | Did they not continue in the apostles Doctrine and Fellowship and breaking of Bread and Prayers? |
A61632 | Did they suspect I was turn''d Papist, at such a Time, when all the Nation was set against Popery? |
A61632 | Did they want warmth and zeal for Religion, who burnt at the Stake for it? |
A61632 | Do no you know, what Corah, Dathan, and Abiram suffer''d? |
A61632 | Do not I say as plainly, as words can express it, that a wilful error doth not excuse from sin? |
A61632 | Do not Princes and Governours give an account of their proceedings for the satisfaction of their Subjects minds? |
A61632 | Do they allow this to the Lutheran Churches? |
A61632 | Do they not in other Churches abroad? |
A61632 | Do we declare that we are excited by it to worship God? |
A61632 | Do we not daily see such things to be the fruits of popular elections, where men are concerned for the strength and reputation of their Party? |
A61632 | Do we not know it? |
A61632 | Do we want Discipline? |
A61632 | Do you think the worse of your self because you are called Brownists? |
A61632 | Doth God reveal his Will to the meek, the humble, the inquisitive, the resolute Minds? |
A61632 | Doth Mr. B. believe that all the Christians in these 800 Churches had personal Communion with Theodoret? |
A61632 | Doth he not say, the multitudes were so great in the smaller Churches in the Lent Assemblies, that not a few were stifled and carried home for dead? |
A61632 | Doth he say, or intimate, that all the Christians of the City were present? |
A61632 | Doth it not import an obligation lying on the person? |
A61632 | Doth not Iudgment begin with us? |
A61632 | Doth not Mr. B. confess, That they have too many such among themselves? |
A61632 | Doth not holding up the hand signify and represent? |
A61632 | Doth not this look very improbably? |
A61632 | Doth not this overthrow any other Order or Vnion among Christians but what Christ hath instituted and appointed for them? |
A61632 | Doth that prove an Epistle wherein he vindicates himself from the imputation of Heresie, to be spurious? |
A61632 | Doth the King pretend to do any thing in this matter, but according to the establish''d Laws and Orders of this Church? |
A61632 | Doth the VVord Authorise him, to Administer the Sacraments? |
A61632 | Doth the VVord enjoyn the Minister to Teach diligently? |
A61632 | Doth the nature of Church- discipline lie in that? |
A61632 | Doth this look like a Precept of mutual forbearance, as to the differences then among them? |
A61632 | Either those separarate Meetings are lawful or not; if not, Why doth not Mr. Baxter disown them? |
A61632 | Et comment donc s''imaginer qu''elle ayt changé d''usage? |
A61632 | Et d''oú vient donc, que des Anglois mémes en ont aujourdhuy si mechante opinion,& rompre si temerairement comme ils font, avec Elle? |
A61632 | First, Whether the Apostle speaks of different opinions, or of different practises? |
A61632 | For Gerson putting the question, what the effect of such excommunications is? |
A61632 | For Mr. B. puts this in the front of his Quaere''s; Do you think, that he is a Separatist that meeteth not in the same Parish Church with you? |
A61632 | For faith he to his Father, Why do you require me to put off my Hat in your Presence, and to make this the condition of my staying in your House? |
A61632 | For if the Papists should desire the liberty but of one Church in London, doth that prove they are no more than can make one Congregation? |
A61632 | For my Words are, Is it that they Fear the Reproaches of the People? |
A61632 | For suppose they should be mistaken, doth this error of Conscience justifie their separation, or not? |
A61632 | For the Episcopal Government, what is there in it that is dangerous, and may reasonably alarm mens consciences? |
A61632 | For the Question is not, Whether Abiathar did not deserve to be put out, but to whom it belonged to do it, whether to the King, or the People? |
A61632 | For was there not a Church here settled upon the Reformation in the time of Edward 6. and Queen Elizabeth? |
A61632 | For was there not a Church to be formed in the beginning? |
A61632 | For where do we ever allow such an use of Images in our Church? |
A61632 | For who was it that did govern it? |
A61632 | For whoever thought themselves justly ejected? |
A61632 | For why may not the Church appoint such a Rite of Admission of one of her Members declaring it to be no part of Baptism? |
A61632 | For, Did not they take out Indulgences, Build Meeting Places, and keep up Separate Congregations ever since? |
A61632 | For, What Vnion can be justifiable with those whose terms of Communion are unlawful? |
A61632 | For, What is it which the Papists have more envied and maligned than the Church of England? |
A61632 | For, how do I know when you will have done with your tokens of respect? |
A61632 | For, was not the Government of the Church Aristocratical in the Apostles times? |
A61632 | For, what if Theodoret''s Epistles came out of the Vatican Copy? |
A61632 | From what grounds come they to practise occasional Communion? |
A61632 | From whence it follows, that the main thing in dispute was, whether this Ceremony of washing hands could be omitted, without defiling the conscience? |
A61632 | Hath Dr. O. yielded, that in case some terms of Communion in our Church were not insisted upon, they would give over separation? |
A61632 | Hath not Mr. B. complained with more than ordinary resentment, that they are ready to scorn, and vilifie the gravest wisest Pastors? |
A61632 | Hath not Mr. B. fully set forth the Pride, Ignorance, Censoriousness, Headiness, Rashness of raw and injudicious Zealots? |
A61632 | Hath not the same Doctrine, the same Government, the same manner of Worship, continued in this Church? |
A61632 | Hath our Church made any New Terms of Communion, or alter''d the Old Ones? |
A61632 | Hath this been the temper of our scrupulous Brethren of late? |
A61632 | Have not we Publick, and the Papists only Private Allowance? |
A61632 | Have those of the Congregational way since alter''d their judgments? |
A61632 | He grants the consequence, and cries, What then? |
A61632 | How came it to be changed, from that to a Democratical Form? |
A61632 | How come these Terms of Communion to be so unlawful now; which were then approved by such holy, learned, and excellent men as our first Reformers? |
A61632 | How comes it then so hard for men to understand so easy, so plain, so intelligible a thing? |
A61632 | How comes this to make them more to have Communion with our Church, than the like presence would make them to have Communion with the Roman Church? |
A61632 | How doth that appear? |
A61632 | How doth this appear from the nature of the thing, and the necessary duties of Christians? |
A61632 | How far the Apostles Rule, hath an influence on our present case? |
A61632 | How fully hath Mr. B. set forth the Vngovernable and Factious Humor of this sort of People, and the Pernicious consequences of complying with them? |
A61632 | How many Advances had we presently made for letting in the grossest Idolatry? |
A61632 | How many Divines of the Church of Rome had been quoted, to shew, that they went no further and desired no more than this? |
A61632 | How then comes this to be thought so impossible a case as to the thing it self? |
A61632 | How then could he possibly infer from hence, that I set Man''s Laws above Gods? |
A61632 | How then doth this prove, that I render it impossible, by any Certain Argument, to prove the Existence of a Deity? |
A61632 | How then is it a medium in God''s Worship? |
A61632 | How then? |
A61632 | However, Why all this while, no Constant Communicant with any Church? |
A61632 | However, he thinks this will prove( What, that they differ from us in any substantial part of Worship? |
A61632 | I Ask, How we should come by the sense, but from the words? |
A61632 | I Asked, What the matter was? |
A61632 | I grant it; but is it not expresly said, that the Question was sent up from the Churches, to the Apostles and Presbyters? |
A61632 | If Felicissimus and his Brethren dislike some things in the Church of Carthage, Why may not they go to the Mountains for separate Meetings? |
A61632 | If all the Question be, how all the Congregations in England make up this one Church? |
A61632 | If any Divine of the Church of England had said any thing to this purpose, what out- cries of Popery had been made against us? |
A61632 | If it be a Divine Rule, they are of the National Church as well as we; if it be a humane Rule, how comes consent in this to make a National Church? |
A61632 | If it were a permanent sign of the Cross, would it be for a Testimony to God, or to Men? |
A61632 | If men be negligent in doing their duty, must the Church bear the blame, and this be pleaded for a ground of Separation from her Communion? |
A61632 | If no error will excuse from sin, why is the Question afterwards put by me, What error will excuse? |
A61632 | If not, why are they not proved to be unlawful? |
A61632 | If not, why do they doe any thing relating to Church Government, for which they have no Command in Scripture? |
A61632 | If our Assemblies be built upon that Rock, How can you deny them to be True Churches? |
A61632 | If saving faith be necessary, whether the outward profession of it be sufficient? |
A61632 | If such as these had not been busie at Philippi( where it appears that Iews inhabited) What need St. Paul give so much caution against them? |
A61632 | If the Novatians do think your Discipline too loose, Why should not they joyn together for stricter? |
A61632 | If the good People were imposed upon against their Wills in the choice of Cornelius, Why may not they choose Novatian for their Pastor? |
A61632 | If the same Man puts on finer Clothes at London, than he wears in the Countrey, Is he not the same Man for all that? |
A61632 | If then the Doctrine of our Church be sound, VVhat VVarrant have you to call us Antichrists? |
A61632 | If they ask, how it comes to be one National Church? |
A61632 | If they do, will they be so unjust, as not to allow the same favor and kindness to our own Church? |
A61632 | If they have the same Doctrines, the same Sacraments, For what cause do they set up another Church in opposition to ours? |
A61632 | If this be true, as no doubt Mr. B. believes it, then what such mighty help, or assistance is this to our great Parishes? |
A61632 | If this be unjust, is it separation to be so excommunicated? |
A61632 | If we allowed the Worship of Images to be lawfull, this were a pertinent Question; but since we deny it, what makes all this against us? |
A61632 | If you think such a Separation unlawful, then Why do you pretend to confute my Sermon, which was designed purposely against it? |
A61632 | In it an Objection is thus put; But What shall we say then to the P ● pists? |
A61632 | In what Manner was this necessity of Separation created? |
A61632 | Into what Hard- heartedness have we sinned our selves? |
A61632 | Is Schism indeed become such an inconsiderable and petty inconvenience? |
A61632 | Is all this done for the honor of our Reformation? |
A61632 | Is all this nothing but the natural effect of the levity or volubility of Peoples Minds? |
A61632 | Is it Idolatry, and not to be tolerated in 1680? |
A61632 | Is it Separation, saith Mr. B. to refuse Pastors that are Vsurpers, and have no true Power over them? |
A61632 | Is it a Sin, to break the Churches Communion, or, Is it not? |
A61632 | Is it because they have no right to the Ordinances? |
A61632 | Is it fit for private persons, when Laws are in force, to take upon them to Iudge what Laws are fit to continue, and what not? |
A61632 | Is it fit or reasonable, that the opinion of such persons be taken, concerning the qualifications of their Ministers? |
A61632 | Is it from the Love of Peace and Concord, as Mr. B. saith? |
A61632 | Is it in the Point of Separation, which is the present business? |
A61632 | Is it indeed come to this? |
A61632 | Is it not possible for a Man to speak of Peace before Hannibal, or of Obedience to Government before Julius Caesar? |
A61632 | Is it not said, that the Apostles and Presbyters met to debate it; and that the multitude was silent? |
A61632 | Is it not said, that the Decrees were passed by the Apostles and Presbyters, without any mention of the People? |
A61632 | Is it not then a strange thing he should thus subject the Judgment of Ministerial Knowledge to such a Company of Triers as these? |
A61632 | Is it not therefore a significant and symbolical Ceremony? |
A61632 | Is it not therefore dedicating, covenanting, and sacramental, as much as the sign of the Cross? |
A61632 | Is it that they have not Power to exclude men, whether their faults be Scandalous to the Congregation or not? |
A61632 | Is it then probable this Church at Carthage should consist of one single Congregation? |
A61632 | Is it to God? |
A61632 | Is it to us, even to us, a Crime intolerable to call us to Repentance? |
A61632 | Is not this a Plea common to all? |
A61632 | Is not this a very fair concession to the Papists? |
A61632 | Is not this admirable ingenuity, to rail upon a man, for suppositions of his own making? |
A61632 | Is not this an admirable way of Communicating with our Churches? |
A61632 | Is not this indeed to the purpose? |
A61632 | Is not this just the old Brownists Argument? |
A61632 | Is not this now a more likely way to reduce the far greatest part of Christianity to Paganism than denying the lawfulness of Separation? |
A61632 | Is our Worship directed to it? |
A61632 | Is such a Consociation of Churches a Duty or not, in such cases? |
A61632 | Is the thing grown so much darker than formerly? |
A61632 | Is there an indispensable obligation to do one part of your duty, and none at all to the other? |
A61632 | Is there no hopes to bring the People to a better temper, and more judgement? |
A61632 | Is there no positive Rule or Direction in this matter? |
A61632 | Is there no way, but to your Tents O Israel? |
A61632 | Is there not Crying Sin with us? |
A61632 | Is this observed in any one Meeting in London, or through England? |
A61632 | Is this the truth of the case indeed? |
A61632 | Is this the way to mend the matter, and to make them grave and wise? |
A61632 | Is this your Ingenuity, your Gratitude, your Christian Temper? |
A61632 | It is but a slender evasion, which they use, when they call these onely voluntary Combinations, for what are all Churches else? |
A61632 | It is lawful, saith Mr. B. to have Communion with the French, Dutch, or Greek Church, Must constant Communion therefore with them be a duty? |
A61632 | It is true the Brethren were present at the nomination of a new Apostle: but were not the Women so too? |
A61632 | It now remains, that we consider whether the restraint of Discipline in our Parochial Churches doth overthrow their Constitution? |
A61632 | Lastly, Doth the VVord Authorise the Minister to execute the Censures and Discipline of Christ? |
A61632 | Let any Man now Iudge, whether this be the discourse of one that rendred it impossible, by any certain Argument, to prove the Existence of a Deity? |
A61632 | M ● ● t we needs therefore never hold fast that which is good? |
A61632 | Mr. B. appearing very warm in this business, what doth Mr. A. coming after him, but make it the very first and fundamental Ground of their Separation? |
A61632 | Mr. B. indeed acts agreeably to his Principles, in coming to our Liturgy; but Where are all the rest? |
A61632 | Must all have equal Votes? |
A61632 | Must he therefore derive his power from it? |
A61632 | Must one speak of nothing but Drums and Trumpets before, great Generals? |
A61632 | Must they Separate from them too? |
A61632 | Must we stand still with open Arms, and naked Breasts to receive all the Wounds they are willing to give us? |
A61632 | Nay, doth not Mr. B. in the same place make it lawfull to make an Image an Object or Medium of our consideration exciting our minds to Worship God? |
A61632 | No Obligation upon a Christian to that, equal to the necessity of Preaching? |
A61632 | No, he dares not say that: but what then?) |
A61632 | Not agreeing in the main things? |
A61632 | Not maintaining Occasional Communion with them? |
A61632 | Not owning their Churches to be true? |
A61632 | Not, in exposing the particular faults of some Men, and laying them to the charge of the whole Party? |
A61632 | Not, in raking into old Sores, or looking back to the proceedings of former times? |
A61632 | Not, in sharp and provoking reflections on Mens Persons? |
A61632 | Now I Ask, If there be not as great an obligation at least, upon Christians to preserve Peace in the Church, as with all Men? |
A61632 | Now I would fain know, what Churches these men are of? |
A61632 | Now where is it, that our Church excludes such a representation? |
A61632 | Now wherein is it that our Diocesan Episcopacy destroys the being of Parochial Churches for want of the Power of Discipline? |
A61632 | Now, Is not Discipline one of God''s Ordinances? |
A61632 | Now, what a strange piece of crosness is this, to dispute the lawfulness of doing it at Church, because we do it not at the Market- place? |
A61632 | One Congregation scruples any kind of Order as an unreasonable Imposition and restraint of the Spirit, is Separation on that account lawful? |
A61632 | Or is it, that they are bound to justify what they doe, and to prosecute the Person for those faults for which they put him back from the Communion? |
A61632 | Or that they did any thing which deserved so severe a punishment? |
A61632 | Or was it no Idolatry then, but is become so now, and intolerable Idolatry too? |
A61632 | Or whether Sung in a Cathedral Tune, or as set by a Parish Clerk? |
A61632 | Pool''s Synopsis? |
A61632 | Pour le gouvernement Episcopal, qu''a t''il qui soit dangereux,& qui puisse raisonnablement alarmer des consciences? |
A61632 | Principles, the People are not bound to Separate from such a Man, notwithstanding his other Abilities? |
A61632 | Quels funestes effets ne produiroit pas une telle separation si elle s''établissoit au milieu de vous? |
A61632 | Qui estce qui y fit resveiller si miraculeusement la verité? |
A61632 | Rules for the Government of his Church; which we are bound to observe, and which are not observed in Parochial Churches? |
A61632 | Say you so? |
A61632 | Secondly, Whether the Rule which the Apostle layes down, be only a Rule of mutual forbearance? |
A61632 | Suppose a man be privately and effectually dealt with to withdraw himself, is not this sufficient? |
A61632 | Suppose not, doth this prove that the Churches Power was then Democratical? |
A61632 | Suppose that; But doth not Mr. B. say, That the rawest and rashest Professors are commonly the most violent and censorious? |
A61632 | Suppose this were meerly excommunication for so long; would not Calvin have thought them Schismaticks for all that? |
A61632 | That is a good ground so far, as it goes, But will it not carry a Man farther, if he pursue it, as he ought to do? |
A61632 | That is not our question, but whether our Parochial Churches have lost their being for want of the Power of Discipline? |
A61632 | That these Officers of the Church were not chosen by the People, but appointed by the Apostles, or other great Men, according to their Order? |
A61632 | That they do not deny, at least some of our Parochial Churches to be true Churches: but why then do they deny Communion with them? |
A61632 | The Plea is, Tenderness of Conscience; the Question is, Whether this Plea be sufficient to justifie Separation? |
A61632 | The Question is not, Whether all Publick Worship be sinful, when forbidden? |
A61632 | Then we are to consider, how far a wilfull mistake or error of Conscience, will justifie men? |
A61632 | Thirdly, How far this Rule hath an influence on our case? |
A61632 | This then being my opinion concerning their Practices, Was this a fault in me, to shew some reason for it? |
A61632 | To the choosing of new Pastors? |
A61632 | To what end doth he mention Valens and Hunericus that cut out of the Preachers Tongues, and several other unbecoming Insinuations? |
A61632 | Very well: but where is the entireness of the power of every single Congregation, the mean while? |
A61632 | Was it Unseasonable to perswade Protestants to Peace and Unity? |
A61632 | Was it not in the Apostles? |
A61632 | Was it not the Bishops? |
A61632 | Was it unlawful to desire a Liberty of Separate Congregations, as the Dissenting Brethren did, because of some Scruples of Conscience in them? |
A61632 | Was not his own Doctrine incomparably beyond theirs? |
A61632 | Was not the same Authority, the same charge as to both of them? |
A61632 | Was not this to shew Mens Obligation to come and Worship there, as well, as that the place was to be kept Sacred for that use? |
A61632 | Was there not the same devotedness, in Ordination to the faithful Administration of Sacraments, as to Preaching the Gospel? |
A61632 | Was there not the same promise and engagement to give faithful diligence to Minister the Doctrine and Sacraments? |
A61632 | Was this the Suspicion they had of the Kindness, and their Wisdom in joyning with the Conformists? |
A61632 | We acknowledge no adorations, but what are due to the Divine Majesty; and do these need to be excused? |
A61632 | We much doubt it, say they, Why so? |
A61632 | Were not the same Ceremonies then appointed? |
A61632 | Were not their Churches first gathered out of Presbyterian Congregations? |
A61632 | Were not then the several Pastours and Teachers invested with a Power superiour to that of the People and independent upon them? |
A61632 | Were they not a Church then? |
A61632 | Were they not arrived to that measure of attainments, or comprehension of the Truths of the Gospel, that men in our Age are come to? |
A61632 | Were they under a cloudy, and dark, and Iewish Dispensation; and all the clear Gospel Light of Division and Separation reserved for our times? |
A61632 | What Authority the Bishop hath, by virtue of his Consecration, in this Church? |
A61632 | What Divine Enforcements of them on the Consciences of Men in the Writings of Christ and his Apostles? |
A61632 | What False Doctrine I had Preached? |
A61632 | What Sophisters arguments are these? |
A61632 | What a great impertinency had both these been, if the Presbyters Power had been quite swallowed up by the Bishops? |
A61632 | What a malicious way of Reproaching is this? |
A61632 | What a stir do you Cyprian make in your Epistles about keeping the Peace of the Church, and submitting to your Rules of Discipline? |
A61632 | What admirable Arguments are there to Peace and Vnity among Christians? |
A61632 | What are those Rules? |
A61632 | What color, or pretence is there from the largeness of them, that he should Preach to the very same persons, who come to our Churches? |
A61632 | What contradiction may be allowed to make a profession not serious? |
A61632 | What deadly effects would not such a separation produce if it were established amongst you? |
A61632 | What doth the man mean? |
A61632 | What endless confusions do such Principles tend to? |
A61632 | What harm is there in all this? |
A61632 | What if Leontius saith that Hereticks feigned Epistles in Theodoret''s name? |
A61632 | What if several Epistles of his are lost, which Nicephorus saw, doth that prove all that are remaining to be counterfeit? |
A61632 | What is it then, that is so denied and disputed against, and such a flood of words is poured out about? |
A61632 | What is it they have more wished to see broken in pieces? |
A61632 | What is it they have used more Arts and Instruments to destroy, than the Constitution and Government of this Church? |
A61632 | What is the reason of all this rage and bitterness? |
A61632 | What is the reason of such a severe saying? |
A61632 | What is there in this case, but is every whit as justifiable, as the present separation? |
A61632 | What is there more? |
A61632 | What is this to Princes imposing what Religion they please? |
A61632 | What is this, but joyning for a Toleration of Popery? |
A61632 | What makes this wonderful difference of eye- sight? |
A61632 | What need all this dispute concerning the Priviledges of the Law? |
A61632 | What need this publick Admonition by name? |
A61632 | What need was there, of letting fall any passages tending this way? |
A61632 | What part of Worship did he ever withdraw from? |
A61632 | What place was there large enough to receive them, when they met for Prayer and Sacraments? |
A61632 | What strange cavilling is this? |
A61632 | What then is to be done in this case, if Men think themselves unjustly cast out? |
A61632 | What then? |
A61632 | What thinks he of Mathematical, or Metaphysical Certainty? |
A61632 | What was this Communion intended for? |
A61632 | What we must judge real seriousness in profession, as distinct from inward sincerity? |
A61632 | What will not Men say in defence of their own practice? |
A61632 | What, as much as kneeling before a Crucifix? |
A61632 | What, if I should deny the continuance of the Roman Empire? |
A61632 | What, in opposing our Ceremonies, when Hooper himself yielded in that which he at first scrupled? |
A61632 | What, no Church among us fit for him to be a Member of? |
A61632 | When and where is innovation without opposition? |
A61632 | When could it be more seasonable, than when the sence of their danger is greatest upon them? |
A61632 | When there were 46 Presbyters at Rome, had it not been fair to have divided them? |
A61632 | When will God give us Repentance unto Life? |
A61632 | Whence come all these difficulties now to be raised about this matter? |
A61632 | Where are they to be found? |
A61632 | Where hath the Church of Rome more Labourers, and a greater harvest, than under the greatest Liberty of Conscience? |
A61632 | Where is there the least ground in Scripture, to intimate, that Christ only kept occasional, and not constant communion with the Iewish Church? |
A61632 | Where lies the strength and evidence of these Scruples? |
A61632 | Where was the Church power then lodged? |
A61632 | Where we see plainly the inconvenience urged is endless Separation: Doth he set any kind of bounds to it? |
A61632 | Where, say I, are the words that forbid a Liturgy, or Ceremonies? |
A61632 | Wherefore then doth Mr. B. make so many Quaeres, about the case of those who lived under Heathen Persecutors? |
A61632 | Wherein? |
A61632 | Whether besides a serious profession it be not necessary to be a practical profession? |
A61632 | Whether besides meer practical profession the positive signs of inward Grace be not necessary? |
A61632 | Whether portions of Canonical Scripture were not better put in stead of Apocrypha Lessons? |
A61632 | Whether profession be required for it self, or as a discovery of something further? |
A61632 | Whether seeming seriousness in profession be sufficient, or real serio ● sness be required? |
A61632 | Whether such Publick Worship, as may have an evil in it, antecedent to that Prohibition, may not be forbidden? |
A61632 | Whether that ought to be taken for a true profession which is only pretended to be a true sign of the mind, or that only which is really so? |
A61632 | Whether the Apostle speaks of different opinions, or different practises? |
A61632 | Whether the New Translation of the Psalms were not fitter to be used, at least in Parochial Churches? |
A61632 | Whether the Rule he gives be mutual forbearance? |
A61632 | Whether those expressions which suppose the strict exercise of Discipline, in Burying the Dead, were not better left at liberty in our present Case? |
A61632 | Which all men who pretended any regard to conscience ought to have an eye to: for why do they pretend conscience, but to ● void sin? |
A61632 | Who ever denied or disputed that? |
A61632 | Who ever denied this, where there was a prospect of converting more, as appears by the endeavours of Eulogius and Protogenes there? |
A61632 | Who was it that combated the Heresies with which it has been at all times assaulted? |
A61632 | Who was it that did make up its Councils, as well General, as particular? |
A61632 | Who was it that made the truth to rise so miraculously there again? |
A61632 | Why desire ye a Toleration? |
A61632 | Why did he not keep to the good old Phrase of King and Parliament? |
A61632 | Why do you also transgress the Commandment of God by your Tradition? |
A61632 | Why do you so often cry out of the sacrilegiousness of this Schism? |
A61632 | Why is this Dissembled and passed over? |
A61632 | Why may not honest men be cured of their errors and mistakes, as I am perswaded these are such which they call Scruples? |
A61632 | Why may not, saith he, an Image give warning to the Eye, when to worship God, as well as a Bell to the Ear? |
A61632 | Why might not the People at Salem have the same liberty as those at Boston or Plymouth? |
A61632 | Why should Caecilian be obtruded upon them? |
A61632 | Why should it then be thought unreasonable with us, not to account those members of the Church of England, who contemn and disobey the Orders of it? |
A61632 | Why should not they choose one, who would best advance their Edification? |
A61632 | Why so? |
A61632 | Why then are Infants baptized, when by reason of their tender age, they can not perform them? |
A61632 | Why then do you make such a stir about other passages in that Book, and take so little notice of these, which are most pertinent and material? |
A61632 | Why then should this be scrupled more than the other? |
A61632 | Will God leave us also, even us, to the Obdurateness of Pharaoh? |
A61632 | Will none of your Consciences now permit you either to come to the Liturgy, or to make use of any parts of it, in your own Meetings? |
A61632 | Will nothing but Separation serve your Turn? |
A61632 | Will they condemn so many Protestant Churches abroad, which have harder Terms of communion than we? |
A61632 | Will they confine the Communion of Christians to their Narrow Scantlings? |
A61632 | Will they shut out all the Lutheran Churches from any possibility of Vnion with them? |
A61632 | Will they then Separate from all Protestant Churches? |
A61632 | Will you make no allowance to the levity and volubility of Mens Minds? |
A61632 | Will you proclaim you selves to be the more impatient? |
A61632 | Would not Mr. G. Mr. B. Mr. C. and many more, think themselves concerned to stand up for their own Rights? |
A61632 | Would one think, what unlucky Inferences he draws from hence? |
A61632 | Would you have excommunicate men communicate with you? |
A61632 | Yet after all, What is this to the present case of Separation in this City? |
A61632 | Yet let us suppose all these excluded, as no competent Iudges; shall all the rest be excluded too, who are incompetent Iudges? |
A61632 | You will ask then, where lies this horrible imposition, and intolerable usurpation? |
A61632 | and if they were sinful, How could they who knowingly and deliberately continue in the Practice of them be innocent? |
A61632 | and is it not equally unlawful in others, who have no more but Scruples of Conscience to plead, although they relate to different things? |
A61632 | and sitting down, as he speaks, with purer Administrations? |
A61632 | and supposing, that it might be done, whether it be reasonable so to doe? |
A61632 | and what is necessary for the judging a profession to be practical? |
A61632 | and whether the Species of our Churches be changed by Diocesan Episcopacy? |
A61632 | and, Must the Reins be laid in their Necks, that they may run whither they please? |
A61632 | are they lawful, or are they not? |
A61632 | are we to expect the Laws of Men should work more upon them than the Grace of God? |
A61632 | as true Churches, though he saith they are not? |
A61632 | but whether in a Nation professing true Religion, some publick Worship may not be forbidden? |
A61632 | for personal Communion, and men make another, is not this a violation of Christ''s Command, and setting up Man against God? |
