A53583 | 7. Who knoweth the spirit of man, that goeth upward; and the spirit of a beast that goeth downward to the earth? |
A53583 | And what an infinite multitude of Souls like shadows, would there be in so many ages as well past as to come? |
A53583 | Besides, since the God- head is everywhere, how could the Thiefe be absent from it anywhere? |
A53583 | But shew me what is the substance and body, as it were of the Soul by it self? |
A53583 | Did not he that made me in the womb make him? |
A53583 | Doth not their excellency which is in them goe away? |
A53583 | Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
A53583 | For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in the grave who shall give thee thanks? |
A53583 | Hast thou not poured me out as milke, and curdled me like cheese? |

A53583 | Why are they baptized for the dead? |
A53583 | Why did the knees prevent me? |
A53583 | Why dyed I not from the womb? |
A53583 | and did not one fashion us in the womb? |
A53583 | and thy righteousness in the Land of forgetfulness? |
A53583 | art thou come to torment us before the time? |
A53583 | but I would know, where she setleth, and hath her abiding place after her departure from the body? |
A53583 | how is her seeing, how is her hearing performed? |
A53583 | how is she imployed? |
A53583 | nay, let me ask one Question, If this endless soul be forma formans, the maker of our bodyes, why have we not endless bodies? |
A53583 | nay, what doth she at all? |
A53583 | or if there be in her none of all this, what goodness can there be without the same? |

A53583 | or why the breasts that I should sucke? |
A53583 | shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? |

A42818 | And shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
A42818 | And that in the best and noblest pieces of his Creation? |
A42818 | And then I would ask him, how he came to know what he affirms so boldly? |
A42818 | And what am I concern''d then in his sins, which had never my will or consent, more then in the sins of 〈 ◊ 〉, or Julius Caesar? |
A42818 | And why were we drawn out of our nothings but because it was better for us to be, then not to be? |
A42818 | And yet that others, that have strong motives and allurements to the contrary, should violently break out into all kinds of extravagance and impiety? |
A42818 | But it will be said,( 3) If our souls liv''d in a former state did they act in bodies, or without them? |
A42818 | But shal the righteous perish with the wicked? |
A42818 | But will it be said, why did not the divine goodnesse endue us all with this morall stability? |
A42818 | But( a) Why is it so absurd that the soul should have actuated another kind of body, before it came into this? |
A42818 | Can any one say that our supposition derogates from the Divine concourse or Providence? |
A42818 | Doth it use to make and presently destroy? |
A42818 | For who shall be the common seedsman of succeding Humanity, when all mankind is swept away by the fiery deluge? |
A42818 | For, would the world have been too little to have contain''d those souls, without justling with some others? |
A42818 | For,( 1) If I was then newly created when first in this body; what was Adam to mee, who sinned above 5000 years before I came out of nothing? |
A42818 | Had it not been better for us to have been made in this condition of security, then in a state so dangerous? |
A42818 | How can a Body that is neither capable of sense nor sin, infect a soul, as soon as''t is unied to it, with such vitious debauched dispositions? |
A42818 | How can such a cause produce an effect so disproportionate? |
A42818 | How is it that those that are under continual temptations to vice, are yet kept within the bounds of vertue, and sobriety? |
A42818 | If so, how comes it about that at last they can all so wel consist together? |
A42818 | Is there a word said in his revealed will to the contrary? |
A42818 | Is this an effect of those tender mercies that are over all his works? |
A42818 | Moreover the Question of the Disciples, Was it for this mans sin, or for his Fathers that he was born blind? |
A42818 | Nay, than in the sins of Belzebub or Lucifer? |
A42818 | To frame one thing and give it such or such a nature, and then undo what he had done, and make it an other? |
A42818 | What was it that gave us our being, but the immense goodnesse of our Maker? |
A42818 | Who acquainted him with the Divine Counsells? |
A42818 | and how can their deliverance be effected? |
A42818 | or, hath he by his holy penmen told us that either of the other waies was more suitable to his beneplaciture? |
A42818 | or, would they by violence have taken any of the priviledges of the other intellectual creatures from them? |
A42818 | wil not the sincere& vertuous both in the Earth and Air be secured from this sad fate? |
A51304 | Again, that which is so confounded a Percipient, how can it be a right Principle of directing Motion into the Muscles? |
A51304 | And what ought to have a more particular and close union with our Bodies then our Souls themselves? |
A51304 | But if I be one of these Points, what becomes of the rest? |
A51304 | But what corporeal cause can guide them thither? |
A51304 | But what need I reason against this ground of Mr. Hobbs so sollicitously? |
A51304 | But what then? |
A51304 | Can any man think that God is served with such Absurdities? |
A51304 | For how can the Nerves derive juice if they have no Pores, or are not so much as passable to these thin active Spirits we speak of? |
A51304 | For if they can at all appear, why do they not oftner? |
A51304 | For what can be the Subject of that Signature? |
A51304 | For what shadow can that Body cast that is a pure and transparent light, such as the AEthereal Vehicle is? |
A51304 | For who would bear the tortures of Fears and Jealousies, if he could avoid it? |
A51304 | How can that therefore that has not so much as Sense, arise to the effects of the highest pitch of Reason or Intellect? |
A51304 | How little then must the Earth appear to him? |
A51304 | If nos, how oblitos? |
A51304 | If oblitos, how nos? |
A51304 | Quid jucundius quàm scire quid simus, quid fuerimus, quid erimus; atque cum his etiam divina atque suprema illa post obitum Mundíque vicissitudines? |
A51304 | What remains therefore but the universal Soule of the World or Spirit of Nature that can doe these feats? |
A51304 | What terms of any Definition are more plain then these of this? |
A51304 | What then is there imaginable in the Body that can hinder her in these Operations? |
A51304 | Wherefore these two opinions being so incongruous, what is there left that can seem probable, but the Praeexistency of the Soul? |
A51304 | and how utterly invisible to any Star, when as her Diameter is above 1100. times less then that of her Magnus Orbis? |
A51304 | by what language or speech can they communicate their counsell one to another? |
A51304 | or what Subject can be more accurately defined then this is? |
A51304 | or who are they? |
A37242 | Againe, how can she but immortall be? |
A37242 | Againe, how can she severall Bodies know, If in her selfe a Bodies forme she bear? |
A37242 | Although all children first from thence do come? |
A37242 | And good Complection rectifie the will? |
A37242 | And if her powers be dead, then what is she? |
A37242 | And that their braines grow sottish, dull, and cold, Which were in youth the onely spirits of note? |
A37242 | And why did God in man this Soule infuse, But that he should his maker know and love? |
A37242 | But how shall we this union well expresse? |
A37242 | But how till then shall she her selfe imploy? |
A37242 | But sith the Braine doth lodge these powers of Sense, How makes it in the heart those passions spring? |
A37242 | But why doe I the Soule and Sense divide? |
A37242 | Do you then think this moral vertue good? |
A37242 | For her true forme how can my Spark discerne? |
A37242 | For what is man without a moving mind, Which hath a judging wit, and choosing will? |
A37242 | For what, say they, doth not the Soule wax old? |
A37242 | For who did ever yet in honour, wealth, Or pleasure of the Sense contentment find? |
A37242 | How can a Mirror sundry faces show, If from all shapes and formes it be not clear? |
A37242 | How can there Idiots then by Nature be? |
A37242 | How comes it then, that aged men do dote? |
A37242 | How is it that some wits are interrupted, That now they dazled are, now clearly see? |
A37242 | How senslesse then and dead a Soule hath he, Which thinks his Soule doth with his body dye? |
A37242 | If by the Body, how can wit and will Joyne with the Body onely in this act? |
A37242 | If she doth then the subtill Sense excel, How grosse are they that drowne her in the blood? |
A37242 | Now if love be compel''d, and can not chuse, How can it gratefull, or thank- worthy prove? |
A37242 | O ignorant poor man, wha ● d ● st thou bear, Lock''t up within the Casket of thy breast? |
A37242 | O what is man( greater maker of mankind) That thou to him so great respect dost bear? |
A37242 | Oh how can that be false, which every tongue Of every mortal man, affirmes for true? |
A37242 | Or how could she the worlds great shape containe, And in our narrow breasts contained be? |
A37242 | Or in the bodies humours tempred well, As if in them such high perfection stood? |
A37242 | Or thinks not so, but so would have it be, That he might sin with more security? |
A37242 | Or what do those which get and can not keep? |
A37242 | See how mans Soule against it selfe doth strive, Why should we not have other means to know? |
A37242 | Since Nature fails us in no needfull thing, Why want I meanes mine in ward self to see? |
A37242 | Since when they do their other works fulfil, They from the Body do themselves abstract? |
A37242 | That thou adornst him with so bright a mind, Mak''st him a King, and even an Angels peer? |
A37242 | The Soule hath here on earth no more to do, Then we have businesse in our mothers womb: What child doth covet to returne thereto? |
A37242 | The more she lives, the more she feeds on truth, The more she feeds, her strength doth more increase; And what is strength, but an effect of youth? |
A37242 | Then should they spread incorruptible seed; What then becomes of that which they doe loose When th''acts of generation doe not speed? |
A37242 | Then what do those poor Soules which nothing get? |
A37242 | Were she a body, how could she remaine Within this Body, which is lesse then she? |
A37242 | What Jewels, and what riches hast thou there? |
A37242 | What heavenly treasure in so weak a chest? |
A37242 | What? |
A37242 | When Sense is but a powre, which she extends, Which being in diverse parts diversified, The diverse formes of objects apprehends? |
A37242 | When with the motions of both will and wit, She still aspireth to eternity, And never rests, till she attain to it? |
A37242 | Wherein are men, beasts, trees, towns, seas, and lands, And yet each thing a proper place doth find, And each thing in the true proportion stands? |
A37242 | Which dim by Nature, Art did never clear; When the great Wits, of whom all skill we learne, Are ignorant both what she is, and where? |
A37242 | Which if time nurse, how can it ever cease? |
A37242 | Who ● ver ● ea ● ● d to wish, when he had health, Or having wisdome, was not vext in mind? |
A37242 | Why doth not Beauty then refine the wit? |
A37242 | Why doth not Health bring wisdome still with it? |
A37242 | Why doth not Sicknesse make men brutish still? |
A37242 | are not Soules within themselves corrupted? |
A28525 | * For his Arms are stretched forth Day and Night to help Man, what need then their Praying? |
A28525 | 6. Who will now judge or condemn that thing which he hath in his own Body? |
A28525 | And where is now the pure Chastity and Modesty? |
A28525 | Blessedness and Salvation lyeth not alone in the outward Word, but in the Power and Vertue: Who will exclude those that enter into God? |
A28525 | But God being every where present in his Total fulness, as himself sayes, Am not I he that filleth all things? |
A28525 | Christ saith, He that will save his Soul shall lose it, and he that will lose his Soul shall save it: but who understandeth this? |
A28525 | Doth not the Sun shin all the Day, and yet the Mole remaineth blind still; Will Babel then come to see? |
A28525 | For our Bodies shall not be so, how then shall the Substance of Paradise be so? |
A28525 | For, where will they get any other Ease? |
A28525 | Here behold your selves ye wise Men, what ye are, or what ye understand, even nothing at all of the Mystery; how will you then be Teachers? |
A28525 | Here ye blind Jews, open your Eyes, what did Abraham in the Circumcision signifie? |
A28525 | How can any see what is in TWO Worlds, that dwelleth alwayes but in ONE? |
A28525 | How then can a pure clean Soul be generated? |
A28525 | If we did not see we should be silent; how would a Lye be pleasing to God? |
A28525 | Is he HOLY? |
A28525 | Is it holy and born anew or Regenerate? |
A28525 | Is it not Babel who seduceth, and confoundeth the whole world; so that they have devided People into Opinions, and yet in their wills go but one way? |
A28525 | It is not Beastial, is not the outward Image become a Beast? |
A28525 | Nay God in his Number Three is with us, how then should Paradise be lost? |
A28525 | Now being the Angels are in this World in the Holy Principle, whither should the Soul then first go? |
A28525 | Now who shall break or destroy that which is Eternal, where no breaker or destroyer can be found? |
A28525 | Or dost thou suppose that we are blind? |
A28525 | Or is it not Art and Wit, that hath understanding, that can search the Deep Gates? |
A28525 | Or, what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A28525 | Sparrow, John, 1615- 1665? |
A28525 | To save it is the greatest Gain, to lose it is the greatest loss: then who will not highly prize the study and understanding of the way to save it? |
A28525 | VVhat can that Spirit seek and find in the Mystery, which is not it self in the Mystery? |
A28525 | We labor for you, and you despise us; what should we do more for you? |
A28525 | What and where Paradise is, with its Inhabitants? |
A28525 | What shall a man say? |
A28525 | What should a Man write of their Cursedness? |
A28525 | What should they pray for to God for us? |
A28525 | What the Spirit of Christ is that was obedient, which he commended into his Father''s hand? |
A28525 | What will Elias do? |
A28525 | Where is now Christs Spirit, in the Love, which saith,* Love one another, thereby men shall know that you are my Disciples? |
A28525 | Where it is, it is in the unsearchable World, where there is no End nor Limit, whither can it then go away from thence? |
A28525 | Whether it be mutable, and what it will come to be hereafter? |
A28525 | Why should Men there enquire after Arts and Sciences? |
A28525 | Why then should a Soul be so perverse, as to account God to be so severe a Judge, that he will not recieve a Converting Sinner? |
A28525 | Yes it is so powerful that it can remove Mountains, should then the Pure Faith of the Saints be able to do nothing in the Livings Faith? |
A28525 | You ask whether the Souls Departed take care about Humane Matters or Doings, and see, like or dislike them? |
A28525 | and so we should be found in the Turba, which sifteth through the work and doings and substance of all men; or do we this service for Wages? |
A28525 | are we not your very slave? |
A28525 | as the Souls is, which is in the Body of God, it is hidden from all Evil, in God; Who will find it? |
A28525 | for it is its own Maker or Framer; whence will another Turba come, when a thing is in the Eternity, where there is no limit more? |
A28525 | is it our living? |
A28525 | where is now your Love? |
A28525 | whither will you go, and where will you abide when the whole World shall Cry, Wo, wo, on you? |
A28525 | why do we not hold to; depend on Bread according to our outward Reason? |
A63913 | Are they able to demonstrate that there is no God? |
A63913 | Because you ca n''t perceive how it can be made out of Nothing: Why do you not also think your self Eternal? |
A63913 | But is the Chair of Scorners at last prov''d the only Chair of Infallibility? |
A63913 | But what puts the Senses in the way and method to correct themselves? |
A63913 | But whether the will to write, or the will to forbear, come upon him according to his will, or according to any thing else in his own power? |
A63913 | But you will say, I ● it not impossible to admit of the making any Thing out of Nothing, since we can not possibly conceive it? |
A63913 | Do not those in Bedlam think themselves wiser than others? |
A63913 | Do they hope to slip beyond the Bounds of his Power, by falling into Nothing when they dye? |
A63913 | Do they think that we are all become such Fools to take Scoffs for Arguments, and Railery for Demonstration? |
A63913 | First, I would ask them, whether they imagine that all Matter, every Particle of Matter thinks? |
A63913 | For example, My right hand writes, whilst my left hand is still, what causes Rest in one, and Motion in the other? |
A63913 | I asked the Gentleman how he would come to know their proper Places and Insertions? |
A63913 | If he had, or had not a full Conviction of the Soul''s Immortality? |
A63913 | If these Men were capable of Counsel, I would ask them whether they are absolutely sure that they are in the right? |
A63913 | If this Answer satisfies not,''t is plain the meaning of the Question, what determines the Will? |
A63913 | Let Mechanism here make an Experiment of its Power, and produce a spiral and turbinated Motion of the whole moved Body without an External Director? |
A63913 | Let therefore the Imagination be never so strong, the Confidence never so great, the Intent never so good, the Question is, whence is this? |
A63913 | Matter must be allowed Eternal: Why? |
A63913 | Must those be the Standard of Mankind, who seem to have little lest of Humane Nature, but laughter and the shape of Men? |
A63913 | Now as it not more reasonable to ascribe the constant observance of these Rules, to an Intelligent Being, than to Chance or no Cause? |
A63913 | Now what can be more expressive of two several perceptive Souls in Man, whose Natures and whose Laws are contrary to each other? |
A63913 | Quae Religio? |
A63913 | Secondly, If all Matter do not think, I next ask, Whether it be only one Atom that does so? |
A63913 | Should a Jest or a foolish Witticism be of more weight than the Dictates of common Sense and sound Reason? |
A63913 | Si vult& potest, quod solum Deo convenit, unde ergo Mala? |
A63913 | The Question therefore is not, Whether a Man be not a free Agent? |
A63913 | To the Question, what is it determines the Will? |
A63913 | What he thought of the Christian Religion? |
A63913 | When did Imagination give Life to a Fly, or do the least act out of it self? |
A63913 | Whether he conceived his Mind to be now as clear, as active, and as vigorous as it had been some few days before his Ilness? |
A63913 | Who knoweth the Spirit of Man that goeth upward, and the Spirit of the Beast that goeth downward to the Earth? |
A63913 | Why former Heroes fell without a Name? |
A63913 | Why not their Battles told by lasting Fame? |
A63913 | aut cur illa non tollit? |
A63913 | aut ea quae vix summâ Ingenij ratione comprehendat, nulla ratione moveri putet? |
A63913 | if they thought of these things, without being told, why may not others do so too? |
A63913 | into what is it resolved? |
A63913 | or on what account do we frequent any Places, either of Publick or Private Worship? |
A63913 | or to sue out Prohibitions in the Court of Heaven to hinder the Effects of Justice there? |
A63913 | that is to say, whether he can write or forbear, speak or be silent, according to his will? |
A63913 | upon what doth it rest? |
A63913 | what Evidence doth the Person bring of his Mission from God? |
A63913 | what doth he produce more than what may be the fruit of Imagination? |
A32696 | And doth not that Examination import a Reflection of the discerning Faculty both upon it self, and its action of discerning? |
A32696 | And what can his fear and shame be referred unto, but his being conscious that he hath committed a fault, and so deserves to be beaten for it? |
A32696 | But is this, think you, to be charged upon a defect in the Understanding; or upon the obscurity of the things themselves? |
A32696 | But what of that? |
A32696 | But who is it, I pray? |
A32696 | But will you adventure the reputation of your Judgment so far as to commend me to his notice? |
A32696 | But, doe we not all abhorre Death? |
A32696 | But, have you acquainted this Noble person Isodicastes, with the occasion of our present meeting? |
A32696 | But, if it be not Natural, and the effect only of Presumption; how comes it to be so Universall? |
A32696 | But, is not Virtue, on one side, a sufficient recompence to it self? |
A32696 | Do you think I can discourse any whit tolerably of so difficult an Argument, and in such a presence, without great labour of the Mind? |
A32696 | Doth it not clearely demonstrate to you, how great the additions are, that the beauties of Nature are capable of receiving, from the hand of Art? |
A32696 | Doth not every wise man die with extream content and serenity of mind; and only Fools with disquiet, impatience, and reluctancy? |
A32696 | Ecquando dispositionem dilectioni et affectui genuino deditam degustabis? |
A32696 | Even when you please: What say you of going thither this present evening? |
A32696 | For example, who doth not desire and wish perpetuity of youth, strength, and health; and to be exempted from the stroke of that common enemy, Death? |
A32696 | For, if the Soul be mortal,& subject to utter dissolution with the body; to what purpose doth all Piety and Religion serve? |
A32696 | For, why should the harmlesse and patient sheep be worried by the noxious and bloody Wolf? |
A32696 | How like you this so much admired Garden? |
A32696 | How now, Lucretius; you an Epicurean, and yet against liberty of judgement among Philosophers? |
A32696 | If I respect Greatness of Judgment; whither, even in this Age of Light, should I go but to your Lordship? |
A32696 | Is that Abhorrence Natural, or not? |
A32696 | Lend you the clue of my Reason, say you? |
A32696 | Nay, more, why should we consider whether there be a God or no? |
A32696 | No? |
A32696 | Nonne nobis videtur Animus is, qui plus cernat,& longiùs, videre se ad meliora proficisci: ille autem, cujus obtusior sit acies, non videre? |
A32696 | Of what? |
A32696 | Or the innocent Dove become a prey to the greedy Falcon? |
A32696 | Pray, deal ingenuously with me, have you no Adversaria, no First- Draught of that piece you intended, among your Papers? |
A32696 | Suppose it to be Natural; what would you inferr? |
A32696 | What issue can we expect of all our Prayers, of all our Adorations, of all our Self- denying acts of obedience, of all our unjust Sufferings? |
A32696 | What need, therefore, of any such state to come, untill which the reward of Virtue, and punishment of Vice, is imagined to be deferred? |
A32696 | When will you permit me to wait upon you to him? |
A32696 | Whither then could that discourse of yours tend? |
A32696 | Who I? |
A32696 | Why Sir, do you conceive, that what you affirm of the impossibility of internal Reflection, in any but an Immaterial Agent, is of Universal truth? |
A32696 | Why not? |
A32696 | Why should we worship God at all? |
A32696 | Will you beleeve me, Athanasius? |
A32696 | Would you have an Architect acquaint you with his design, only by shewing you his Materialls lying confusedly congested together in a heap? |
A32696 | and Vice, on the other, a sufficient punishment to it self? |
A32696 | and no state remain after death, for the reward of the sufferings of the one, and punishment of the cruelty of the other? |
A32696 | and such, than which no Executioner can inflict a more grievous and horrid? |
A32696 | pray Sir, who was that? |
A37239 | Again; How can she sev''ral Bodies know, If in her self a Body''s Form she bear? |
A37239 | All Bodies have their Measure, and their Space; But who can draw the Soul''s dimensive Lines? |
A37239 | And if her Pow''rs be dead, then what is she? |
A37239 | And why did God in Man this Soul infuse, But that he should his Maker know and love? |
A37239 | Are not Souls within themselves corrupted? |
A37239 | As if most Skill in that Musician were, Which had the best, and best tun''d Instrument? |
A37239 | As if the Pensil neat, and Colours clear, Had Pow''r to make the Painter excellent? |
A37239 | BVT how shall we this Vnion well express? |
A37239 | But how, till then, shall she her self employ? |
A37239 | But since the Brain doth lodge the Pow''rs of Sense, How makes it in the Heart those Passions spring? |
A37239 | Could Sense make Marius sit unbound, and prove The cruel Lancing of the knotty Gout? |
A37239 | Could any Pow''r of Sense the Roman move, To burn his own Right Hand with Courage stout? |
A37239 | Do not we still taste of the Fruit forbid, While with fond fruitless Curiosity, In Books prophane we seek for Knowledge hid? |
A37239 | Do you then think this Moral Virtue good? |
A37239 | Doth not the Soul wax old? |
A37239 | For her true Form, how can my Spark discern, Which, dim by Nature, Art did never clear? |
A37239 | For how may we to Other Things attain, When none of us his own Soul understands? |
A37239 | For what is Man without a moving Mind, Which hath a judging Wit, and chusing Will? |
A37239 | For who did ever yet, in Honour, Wealth, Or Pleasure of the Sense, Contentment find? |
A37239 | For, how can that be false, which ev''ry Tongue Of ev''ry mortal Man affirms for true? |
A37239 | For, what, say they? |
A37239 | How can a Mirror sundry Faces show, If from all Shapes and Forms it be not clear? |
A37239 | How can there Idiots then by Nature be? |
A37239 | How can we say that God the Soul doth make, But we must make him Author of her Sin? |
A37239 | How comes it then that Aged Men do dote; And that their Brains grow sottish, dull and cold, Which were in Youth the only Spirits of note? |
A37239 | How is it that some Wits are interrupted, That now they dazled are, now clearly see? |
A37239 | IF she doth then the subtile Sense excel, How gross are they that drown her in the Blood? |
A37239 | In fine; What is it, but the fiery Coach Which the Youth sought, and sought his Death withal? |
A37239 | Must Virtue be preserved by a Lye? |
A37239 | Now, if Love be compell''d, and can not chuse, How can it grateful, or thank- worthy prove? |
A37239 | Or having Wisdom, was not vex''d in Mind? |
A37239 | Or how could she the World''s great Shape contain, And in our narrow Breasts contained be? |
A37239 | Or in the Body''s Humours temper''d well; As if in them such high Perfection stood? |
A37239 | Or the Boy''s Wings, which, when he did approach The Sun''s hot Beams, did melt and let him fall? |
A37239 | Or the false Pails, which oft being fill''d with pain, Receiv''d the Water, but retain''d it not? |
A37239 | Or what do those which get, and can not keep? |
A37239 | See how Man''s Soul against it self doth strive: Why should we not have other Means to know? |
A37239 | Sense thinks the Lightning born before the Thunder: What tells us then they both together are? |
A37239 | Sense thinks the Planets Spheres not much asunder: What tells us then their Distance is so far? |
A37239 | Since Nature fails us in no needful thing, Why want I Means my inward Self to see? |
A37239 | The divers Forms of things how can we learn, That have been ever from our Birth- day blind? |
A37239 | Then what do those poor Souls, which nothing get? |
A37239 | WHY did my Parents send me to the Schools, That I with Knowledge might enrich my Mind? |
A37239 | Were she a Body, how could she remain Within this Body, which is less than she? |
A37239 | What Alchymist can draw, with all his Skill, The Quintessence of these out of the Mind? |
A37239 | What Jewels, and what Riches hast thou there? |
A37239 | What do we? |
A37239 | What heav''nly Treasure in so weak a Chest? |
A37239 | What is it then that doth the Sense accuse, Both of false Judgment, and fond Appetites? |
A37239 | What is it, but the Cloud of empty Rain, Which, when Jove''s Guest embrac''d, he Monsters got? |
A37239 | What makes us do what Sense doth most refuse, Which oft in Torment of the Sense delights? |
A37239 | What? |
A37239 | When Men seem Crows far off upon a Tow''r, Sense saith, they''re Crows: What makes us think them Men? |
A37239 | When we, in Agues, think all sweet things sowre, What makes us know our Tongue''s false Judgment then? |
A37239 | Who can in Memory, or Wit, or Will, Or Air, or Fire, or Earth, or Water find? |
A37239 | Who ever ceas''d to wish, when he had Health? |
A37239 | Why doth not Beauty then resine the Wit, And good Complexion rectify the Will? |
A37239 | Why doth not Health bring Wisdom still with it? |
A37239 | Why may they not retain this Privilege? |
A37239 | With what Delight are we touch''d in hearing the Stories of Hercules, Achilles, Cyrus, and Aeneas? |
A37239 | what dost thou bear, Lock''d up within the Casket of thy Breast? |
A26963 | Aliud, how prove you it to be there, rather than elsewhere? |
A26963 | An Atome of Earth or Water, is not annihilated; and why should we suspect, that a Spiritual Substance is? |
A26963 | And What''s a Contradiction, if this be not, to say, I do that which I can not do, or I can do that which I have no power to do? |
A26963 | And as to the incapacity of misery which you talk of, why should you think it more hereafter than here? |
A26963 | And do you think, that his love and goodness hath no answerable effect? |
A26963 | And do you think, that this doth not more advance Souls than abase them? |
A26963 | And how far their Authority extendeth? |
A26963 | And if they be two, why are they not separable? |
A26963 | And if you feign God to be partible, is it not more honour and joy to be a part of God, who is joy it self, than to be a created Soul? |
A26963 | And is it many, or one concentred Soul? |
A26963 | And what happiness then can we hope for, more than a deliverance from the present calamity? |
A26963 | And whom do they believe? |
A26963 | And why doth the Church believe? |
A26963 | And why should we fear Perfection? |
A26963 | And yet what is more certain than that there is Substance, Entity, and God? |
A26963 | Are all men that can not define, therefore void of all knowledg? |
A26963 | But do you know nothing but by Definitions? |
A26963 | But if the world have but one soul, what mean you by its concentring in the Carcass? |
A26963 | But what is such a mental Spirit? |
A26963 | But what mean you by[ the active Principles concentration in its own body]? |
A26963 | But what''s your proof? |
A26963 | But you would know what''s meant by a spirit, whether all that is not evident to sense? |
A26963 | Can Apes and Monkeys do all this? |
A26963 | Can he not separate them when he will? |
A26963 | Can not God make a Spirit? |
A26963 | Do they not shew his glory? |
A26963 | Do you believe, that each one hath now one individual Soul, or not? |
A26963 | Do you know what material signifieth? |
A26963 | Do you really believe, that there is a God? |
A26963 | Do you think any dust, or drop, any Atome of Earth or Water, loseth any thing of it self, by its union with the rest? |
A26963 | Do you think, that any Atome loseth its individuation? |
A26963 | Do you think, that passive matter doth as much manifest Gods Perfection, and honour the Efficient, as vital and Intellectual Spirits? |
A26963 | Doth God give them Laws to know and keep as moral free- agents? |
A26963 | Doth acting, without Power to act, cause the Power? |
A26963 | Doth not God know every dust, and every drop from the rest? |
A26963 | Doth not all the world difference Virtue and Vice, moral good and evil? |
A26963 | For before you can believe that Jesus is the Christ, and his Word true, how many impossibilities have you to believe? |
A26963 | Hath he not imprinted his Perfections in some measure, in his Works? |
A26963 | How many Score Volumes have told it us? |
A26963 | If God made as many substantial individual Souls, as men, is there any thing in Nature or Scripture, which threatneth the loss of Individuation? |
A26963 | If it be a pure Spirit, I would then know, what is meant by Spirit? |
A26963 | If it be, is it a pure Spirit, or meerly material? |
A26963 | If not here, why should you think that their misery hereafter will be ever the less, or more tolerable for your conceit, that they are parts of God? |
A26963 | If not, how can we lose that which we never had? |
A26963 | If separable, why not separated? |
A26963 | If therefore all men have but one Soul, why is it not you that are in pain or joy, when any, or all others are so? |
A26963 | If to part of the world, if each Vortex, Sun, Star,& c. have a distinct individuate superior Soul, why not men also inferiors? |
A26963 | If you mean, That it''s but an accident, that''s disprov''d before; what accident is it? |
A26963 | Is any Substance lost? |
A26963 | Is it a real Being? |
A26963 | Is it because they believe? |
A26963 | Is it not Earth and Water still? |
A26963 | Is it only the difference of an ▪ Instrument in Tune, and out of Tune? |
A26963 | Is it really different from the Body? |
A26963 | Is it themselves? |
A26963 | Is it therefore a real Being, really different from the Body, and able to be without it? |
A26963 | Is not the Haecceity, as they call it, continued? |
A26963 | Is not this a just progress? |
A26963 | Is the common light and sense of Nature no Evidence? |
A26963 | Is the simple Nature changed? |
A26963 | Is the universal Soul there fallen asleep, or imprisoned in a Grave, or what is it? |
A26963 | Is there not in the Creature a communicative disposition to cause their like? |
A26963 | Is this a Priviledg to boast of? |
A26963 | That you Act vitally, understand and will? |
A26963 | Therefore Belief is first, and is not caused by that which followeth it? |
A26963 | These are now my doubts; but are they the fruits of Diligence? |
A26963 | Those Conceptions are the cause of words and actions: and is there no cause of those Conceptions? |
A26963 | What happiness then can we hope for more than deliverance from the present calamity; or what misery are we capable of, more than is common to all? |
A26963 | What if I said,[ The Chandler made a Candle of Tallow, and then by another kindled it]? |
A26963 | What need you the Power, if you can act without it? |
A26963 | What should hinder it? |
A26963 | What''s here wanting to a Definition? |
A26963 | When the dust of the Carcass is scattered, is the Soul concentred in every atome, or but in one? |
A26963 | When will you shew us an Ape or a Monkey, that was ever brought to the Acts or Habits before mentioned of Men? |
A26963 | Whereas were the Soul such as repesented, who could rob it of its Endowments? |
A26963 | Who can trust the Honesty of such men, as multitudes of Popes, Prelates, and Priests have been? |
A26963 | Why are you not answerable for the Crimes of every Thief, if all b ● ● one? |
A26963 | Why did the knees prevent me? |
A26963 | Why do not Beasts speak as well as Men? |
A26963 | Why should you think he would not? |
A26963 | Will they stick at a Lye, that stick not at Blood, or any wickedness? |
A26963 | Will this make a Captive bear his Captivity, or a Malefactor his Death? |
A26963 | Yea, of those that were born deaf and dumb? |
A26963 | You add, how easie it would have been to you to believe as the Church believeth ▪ and not to have immerged your self in these difficulties? |
A26963 | You add,[ How shall I know the difference between the highest degree of materials, and lowest of immaterials? |
A26963 | You ask, Is it able to be without it? |
A26963 | and am I thus rewarded for not believing at a common rate? |
A26963 | and whether or no all things invisible, and imperceptable to Sense, are accounted such? |
A26963 | and yet knew God and his Law, and how to name the Creatures, and how to dress and keep the Garden? |
A26963 | or is it not? |
A26963 | or what misery are we eapable of, more than what is common to all? |
A26963 | or why the breasts, that I should suck? |
A26963 | or[ a man made an house of Bricks, and cemented them with Mortar,& c.]? |
A26963 | why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
A26963 | will you thence prove, That he made a Candle burning without fire, or the House without Mortar? |
A32698 | And has it from that time to this day continued in use and esteem among wise men wheresoever Letters and Civility have flourish''d? |
A32698 | And how unstable, how obnoxious to Divisions must that State be, that hath two Heads? |
A32698 | And what could he have said, either more intelligible in it self, or more favorable to the doctrine of animal Spirits? |
A32698 | But What becomes of the Acid reliques of the meat, and of the saline dissolving Ferment of the Stomach? |
A32698 | But from what kind of texture or modification of the supposed Particles, doth the faculty of Perceiving or discerning Objects arise? |
A32698 | But how is the Body to be made more permeable? |
A32698 | But how long after the wounds had been inflicted, did the Doggs live? |
A32698 | But in what do''s the Utility of it consist? |
A32698 | But is it not plainly dissonant to reason, ye will say, that the same remedies should be at once both Aperient and Astringent? |
A32698 | But what kind of Sense is this by which the Stomach perceives the want of food? |
A32698 | But why do I insist upon Reasons, when an easie Experiment offers itself to determine the Question? |
A32698 | By what signs can they give notice of their meaning? |
A32698 | Can they be made, and conserved in water, and after most part of the brain hath been taken away? |
A32698 | Do the Animal Spirits all that while run forth and back uncessantly, to continue the sensation both without and within? |
A32698 | Do they bring in with them the idea of the impression made by the Object upon the external Organ? |
A32698 | Doth any Man here expect from me other Examples of the like Mistakes? |
A32698 | Et si hominibus serviendo, tam admiranda perficiant; quid, quaeso, ab iis expectabimus, ubi instrumenta fuerint in manu Dei? |
A32698 | Farther, to what end should they recur to the Brain through the Nerves? |
A32698 | For, if Hunger be an ungrateful Sense of emptiness or want of food; why should not Satiety be a grateful sensation of the supply of that want? |
A32698 | For, were the stomach a part endowed with a dull sense, how could it be sensible of the vellication of hunger? |
A32698 | For, what can be imagin''d more likely to impell it, or drive the thinner parts of it into, and through the Streiner, than Pressure? |
A32698 | For, who can conceive so gross a contradiction, as a dead Angel? |
A32698 | For, why might not so great a wound, penetrating into the cavity of the Thorax, be sufficient of it self to destroy them, in that space of time? |

A32698 | If so, with what Tongue can they deliver their relation? |
A32698 | If therefore Obstruction may consist with Laxity, why may not Deoppilation as well consist with Astriction? |
A32698 | Is it not manifest even to sense, that the stomach is alwayes more or less distended, in proportion to the quantity of nourishment brought into it? |
A32698 | Is it not only from hence, that the intercourse betwixt the Brain and Muscles of that part, is wholly stopped? |
A32698 | Is it referrible to any of the five external senses? |
A32698 | Is no part of the Aliment then, in the act of Chylification, metamorphosed from one species to another? |
A32698 | Nevertheless it may be inquired, why the Sphincters have no Antagonists, when to the clausor palpebrarum is opposed the Elevator? |
A32698 | Now if these be true Histories, what will become of the supposition, that the Animal spirits are generated in the brain? |
A32698 | Or do hunger and thirst constitute peculiar sorts of senses proper only to the stomach? |
A32698 | Quid de Humano ulteriùs corpore, quod jam dissectum hic,& ad intima usque vitae sensusque penetralia reclusum vidisti, dicam? |

A32698 | Was Anatomy then taught by the Founder of Memphis? |
A32698 | What need is there then of Attraction to do the same work? |
A32698 | What then are they, who put their life into the hands of such men? |
A32698 | What then remains for me to do in this perplexity of Thoughts? |
A32698 | What then remains to be known by us of our selves? |
A32698 | What then remains to be the subject of my doubting and suspense? |
A32698 | What then shall I do to extricate my thoughts from the perplexing difficulties of this Aenigmatic Paradox? |
A32698 | Where then is the necessity of that conclusion, that Famin alone kill''d them? |
A32698 | Wherein then doth that peculiar Faculty consist? |
A32698 | Who can be persuaded, that a marble pillar, when knock''d with a mallet, feels as much pain, as the limbs of an Animal, that is beaten with a cudgel? |

A32698 | and what is that in reality, but to generate flesh, nerves, veins, arteries,& c.? |
A32698 | and whence comes that distension? |
A32698 | and wherein can we imagine that invigoration to consist, if not in a distention of those Fibres, by some influx from the Brain? |
A32698 | can they, like chords, pull it down? |
A32698 | currunt: quiescere? |
A32698 | or how doth this Experiment demonstrate, that the whole revenue of Chyle is, as a due tribute, paid into the Exchequer of the bloud? |

A85674 | O ● ow do we want that light of understanding and retention of Memory in good things which we ought to have? |
A85674 | Shall we alwaies abide this Hell upon earth? |
A85674 | Since then it is as it is, how can we chuse but vehemently take on and complaine in the anguish of our spirits? |
A85674 | The Sun setteth and returnes againe, but man dyeth, and where is he? |
A85674 | The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? |
A85674 | Was it a pleasure for thee, O Lord, to give us being that we might be miserable? |
A85674 | What have wee at all that we have not received? |
A85674 | What heart is there can chuse but smart to see this thy misery, and here to shew the griese that I now conceive? |

A29667 | Alas, are we not all since Adams lapse buried under the shadow of death, and lost in the region of darknesse? |
A29667 | And as he saith of himselfe, Who was weak and I was not weak? |
A29667 | And doth not this convince them of what I affirme? |
A29667 | And if I were now all gore blood, would I not now goe to the Chirurgians? |
A29667 | And if it doth exist, must it not be this which you call actus secundus? |
A29667 | And if this be the nature of the first, what can the second Being( which is the effect, and so lower) be, but a bare notion? |
A29667 | And is not Truth the same? |
A29667 | And others, whose affections are as it were benummed, and all activity is placed in their braine, understand more of the divine nature? |
A29667 | And then how doth this excellency discover it selfe? |
A29667 | Are not the two Testaments expositors of the two Tables? |
A29667 | Are not these like the untrue Mother, who will kill the childe, because she can not call it her own? |
A29667 | Are not those who propound, and they who entertain such a definition, justly compared to the Constable and the Country- Justice? |

A29667 | Are not wee said to be made after the image of God? |
A29667 | Are there not to the constitution of every Being three notions requisite? |
A29667 | As, Vtrum differentiae possunt esse sub eodem genere cum illo quod differre faciunt? |
A29667 | BUT still it is demanded, why may not the understanding supply the third place? |

A29667 | But where is the second which entertaineth them? |
A29667 | But where shall wee finde these in the understanding? |
A29667 | But where will you finde This? |
A29667 | Can these men, these Beings be said to know God? |
A29667 | Canst thou number the moneths that they fulfill, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? |
A29667 | Do they leave us any latitude in any other of the Commandements? |
A29667 | Doth not the people of Israel say, Wee are our owne Lords, who shall controll us? |
A29667 | Est superficies concava corporis ambientis; Where is the truth of this in the highest heaven which incompasseth all the rest? |

A29667 | For what giving and receiving can here be, besides that which maketh both to become one and the selfe same? |
A29667 | For what( to speake in their language) is experiment, but the daughter of light, gathered by frequent observation? |

A29667 | If Time and Place be nothing, if all our Actions are but One: How can there be evill and good? |
A29667 | If it be any other than a work of reason, how can it constitute, or become the forme of a rationall soule and humane understanding? |
A29667 | If it be neither more excellent, nor lower, is it various, hath it lesse or more of action? |
A29667 | If it be such, how differs it from thought, ratiocination or positions in the minde? |
A29667 | If the members composing the Body, have matter and forme, why then not the whole Body? |
A29667 | If the truth come from God, then why is it not immediately, intrinsecally, infused into the soule it selfe? |
A29667 | If then it have no Being, the Soule can not act in it, and so it can not be the act of the Soule; For, how shall the soule or truth act upon nothing? |
A29667 | If with this eye you view that Scripture, you will see it in its glory, Is thine eye evill, because thy brothers good increaseth? |
A29667 | In Metaphysicks, with what curious nets do they intangle their hearers? |
A29667 | Is it not a great question, Vtrum Prudentia sit virtus Moralis? |
A29667 | Is not Reason? |
A29667 | Is not this the Athenian Altar, which groaned under that Superscription,* To the unknowne God? |
A29667 | Lastly, how passeth this light from the understanding to the soule? |
A29667 | Locus and spatium corporis locati, is little better; what have we in this definition, of the intrinsecall nature of place? |
A29667 | May we not say of these, what one saith wittily of the Soule? |
A29667 | Now what is the reason of the rule? |
A29667 | Now, what can this act be in this subject, whereof we discourse, but the reasonable working of the soule in this or that conclusion? |
A29667 | Or secondly; Shall the cause be more ignoble than the effects? |
A29667 | So then, What is the form of this primus actus? |
A29667 | The Spirit saith, How can you love whom you doe not know? |
A29667 | The ignorance of this Point, hath raised that empty Question, Whether the Soule or the Body be contentum? |
A29667 | The questions about Faith and Love, are sufficient to fill the world with perpetuall quarrels; As, whether Faith precedeth Repentance? |
A29667 | Thirdly, Who is it that communicateth this light? |
A29667 | This is that which I aymed at; and why not? |
A29667 | This not being well weighed, hath cast our wits upon strange rocks, hath raised this Question, How doth God see things? |
A29667 | View then This new- borne Beauty; mark its Feature, proportion, lineaments; Tell mee now, was Its Birth an object of pity? |
A29667 | Vnde rerum individuatio exoriatur? |
A29667 | Vtrum Prudentia possit separari à virtute Morali? |
A29667 | Vtrum Summum Bonum sit in Intellectu, an Voluntate? |
A29667 | Vtrum universale sit aliquid reale, ● n notionale tantùm? |
A29667 | Vtrum virtus Moralis sita sit in Appetitu Rationali, an Sensitivo? |
A29667 | We have in an houre, an halfe, a quarter, a minute, a second,( the 60 part of a minute:)& how many subdivisions will a scruple admit of? |
A29667 | Wee should not need to check and raise our selves with Davids out- cryes, why art thou cast downe my soule, why art thou disquieted within me? |
A29667 | What a tedious work doth this very division lay upon us? |
A29667 | What are the Mathematicall sciences, but Vnity turning it selfe into severall formes of Numbers and Figures, yet still remaining entire? |
A29667 | What can those workings added to that, from which they receive themselves? |
A29667 | What difference is there betwixt virtus quâ and a faculty? |
A29667 | What fruit doth it yeeld better than the Silk- worme, which is worne onely for ostentation? |
A29667 | What is True Philosophy but Divinity? |
A29667 | What is it to be infinite? |
A29667 | What is the forme of it? |
A29667 | What is this Discourse, but the Work of an Vnderstanding? |
A29667 | What is this their actus primus? |
A29667 | What is this, I am that I am; but this, I am one? |
A29667 | What is with them the forme of a reasonable soule? |
A29667 | What then? |
A29667 | When have the Sun- beams their vigor and efficacy, beating upon the burning glasse, but when the glasse hath gathered them all into one? |
A29667 | Where is the power of our five senses, which are in their nature so honourable, that nihil cadit in intellectum, quod non prius cadit in sensum? |
A29667 | Where is their vertue, but in communis sensus? |
A29667 | Where or what is it? |
A29667 | Where then is the sinne? |
A29667 | Where, or who is Hee that by a Viperous wrea ● he*, or other assault, can smoother Hercules, though yet but sprawling in his cradle? |
A29667 | Whereas, if we Knew aright, how even and smooth would be the way of action, and how great our contents therin? |
A29667 | Whether Faith be a particular application of Christ to my selfe, or onely a bare spirituall beleefe, that Christ is the Son of God? |
A29667 | Whether faith be a beleeving that I am saved, or depending upon God for salvation? |
A29667 | Whether there be a prescript forme of Church- government? |
A29667 | Which now is said to know more? |
A29667 | Who is it that receiveth from the womb of Eternity that reasonable creature, but the creature received? |
A29667 | Who is there that knoweth truth? |
A29667 | Who will not cleerly lose himselfe in such an inquest? |
A29667 | Why doe wee make Philosophy and Divinity two Sciences? |
A29667 | Why may not I say the same of Time, seeing by all mens confessions they are twins of the same womb? |
A29667 | Why may not I say, that if Time doth not parcell out one act, it can not act upon two, when the duality ariseth onely from Time? |
A29667 | and I may say, How can you do what you know not? |
A29667 | and if in any thing we are honoured with this inscription, it is in the most noble part? |
A29667 | and those again, who are for knowledge, as Angels of light, are not partakers of that which is called Saving faith? |
A29667 | can there then be a soule, till there be reason? |
A29667 | doth not every body say, that in God there is no potentia? |
A29667 | how can I from hence ghesse time to have so considerable a Being, as that it shall make two of that whith otherwise would be but one? |
A29667 | if the Will act that way, which is, or ought to be to the Vnderstanding proprium quarto modo; Is not then the will an Vnderstanding? |
A29667 | is not some act? |
A29667 | more than to entangle empty wits withall? |
A29667 | or canst thou mark when the Hindes doe calve? |
A29667 | or rather of envy? |
A29667 | what is the usefulnesse of this more than Arachne''s web? |
A29667 | who was offended and I did not burne? |
A29667 | why may it not be this Recipient? |
A29667 | why should we then think, that That Commandement which God hath honoured in the second place, should be forgotten? |
A70182 | & not to the bodie B? |
A70182 | * How is it that those that are under continual temptations to vice, are yet kept within the bounds of vertue, and sobriety? |
A70182 | * Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral contagion? |
A70182 | * that any thing may be a suitable means to any end? |
A70182 | And can they be Physically divided into parts of which they do n''t consist? |
A70182 | And how can their deliverance be effected? |
A70182 | And how can we be assured of that, if we know not that Veracity is a perfection? |
A70182 | And how oddly does it look, that one solitary Individual of a Species should exist for God knows how many ages alone? |
A70182 | And if he will the contrary to be true, namely, That he does not Exist, what becomes of him then? |
A70182 | And if there be lapsed Souls there, how shall they be recovered? |
A70182 | And indeed what can be absolute Soveraignty in an intelligent Being, if this be not? |
A70182 | And shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
A70182 | And that in the best and noblest pieces of his Creation? |
A70182 | And then I would ask him, how he came to know what he affirms so boldly? |
A70182 | And what a Paradox is this, that our Understandings, as our Eyes, are made onely for things revealed? |
A70182 | And what am I concern''d then in his sins, which had never my will or consent, more than in the sins of Mahom ● t, or Julius Caesar? |
A70182 | And what could God do more correspondently to his Wisdom and Goodness, dealing with free Agents, such as humane Souls are, than this? |
A70182 | And what difference betwixt Impossibility and Necessity? |
A70182 | And what great matter is it if they be not, provided they be as they are and ought to be, Divine? |
A70182 | And what greater Absoluteness than this? |
A70182 | And who knows but this might be part at least of that Glory which, he says, he had before the world was? |
A70182 | And why were we drawn out of our nothings, but because it was better for us to be, than not to be? |
A70182 | And yet that others, that have strong motives and allurements to the contrary, should violently break out into all kinds of extravagance and impiety? |
A70182 | But did you take this for any shew of a proof? |
A70182 | But if all alike live in bodies of air in the next condition,* where is then the difference between the just and the wicked, in state, place and body? |
A70182 | But it will be said,( 3) If our Souls liv''d in a former state, did they act in bodies, or without them? |
A70182 | But shall the righteous perish with the wicked? |
A70182 | But the Patriarch Abraham was of another mind, Shall not the Judge of the whole Earth do right? |
A70182 | But then you will say, What is the door and lock to this terrible place? |
A70182 | But whither am I going? |
A70182 | But who does not at first sight discern the weakness of this Allegation? |
A70182 | But will it be said, why did not the divine Goodness endue us all with this moral ● ability? |
A70182 | But( 2) Why is it so absurd that the Soul should have actuated another kind of body, before it came into this? |
A70182 | Can any one say that our supposition derogates from the Divine concourse or Providence? |
A70182 | Could not the Eternal Logos and the Ministry of Angels sufficiently discharge that Province? |
A70182 | Does Mental and Sensitive Nature act on Brutes and Vegetables and all the Passive Elements? |
A70182 | Doth it use to make and presently destroy? |
A70182 | FOR can it be imagin''d that every Argument can be made a proportioned Medium to prove every Conclusion? |
A70182 | For how can that be the effect of an equilibrious or sufficient Free Will and Power, that is in a manner perpetual and constant? |
A70182 | For if they can act so fully and beatifically without any body, what need there be any Resurrection of the body at all? |
A70182 | For their Prince is the Prince of the Air, as the Apostle calls him; and where can his subjects be, but where he is? |
A70182 | For what a kind of Wisdom or Justice would that be that tended to no good? |
A70182 | For what can infinite Wisdom be, but a steady, and immoveable comprehension of all those natures and relations? |
A70182 | For what should make any mass of Matter one, but that which has a special Oneness of Essence in it self, quite different from that of Matter? |
A70182 | For who shall be the common Seeds- man of succeeding Humanity, when all mankind is swept away by the fiery deluge? |
A70182 | For why may not this Earth be the onely Hospital, Nosocomium or Coemeterium, speaking Platonically, of sinfully lapsed Souls? |
A70182 | For, would the world have been too little to have contain''d those souls, without justling with some others? |
A70182 | Had it not been better for us to have been made in this condition of security, than in a state so dangerous? |
A70182 | Here therefore I demand, Are we not to thank him and praise him for his actions of Wisdom, Justice, and Holiness, though they be necessary? |
A70182 | How can a Body that is neither capable of sense nor sin, infect a soul, as soon as''t is united to it, with such vitious debauched dispositions? |
A70182 | How can such a cause produce an effect so disproportionate? |
A70182 | How does this consist with Gods fresh creating humane Souls pure and innocent, and putting them into Bodies? |
A70182 | How then can the Idea of God chiefly consist in this? |
A70182 | How then should the Soul remember what she did or observ''d many hundreds, nay thousands of years ago? |
A70182 | If I was then newly Created when first in this body; what was Adam to me, who sinned above 5000 years before I came out of nothing? |
A70182 | If all were Eye, where were the Hearing,& c. as the Apostle argues? |
A70182 | If bounded by Wisdom and Justice, why is it bounded by them, but that it is better so to be than otherwise? |
A70182 | If so, how comes it about that at last they can all so well consist together? |
A70182 | Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? |
A70182 | Is it possible there should be such a kind of Geometry, wherein any Problem should be demonstrated by any Principles? |
A70182 | Is not this to ● lurr his goodness, and to strait- lace the divine beneficence? |
A70182 | Is there a word said in his revealed Will to the contrary? |
A70182 | Is this an effect of those tender mercies that are over all his works? |
A70182 | Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral Contagion? |
A70182 | Moreover the Question of the Disciples,* Was it for this mans sin, or for his Fathers that he was born blind? |
A70182 | Nay, than in the sins of Beelzebub or Lucifer? |
A70182 | Or what need of such a contraction in the Spirit of Nature or Plastick Soul of the corporeal Universe, that it may be contrived into a Nut- shell? |
A70182 | Quid jucundius quàm scire quid simus, quid fuerimus, quid erimus, atque cum his etiam Divina illa atque suprema post obitum mundique Vicissitudines? |
A70182 | Therefore before I go further, I would demand, whence comes this meer notional or speculative variety? |
A70182 | To frame one thing and give it such or such a nature, and then undo what he had done, and make it another? |
A70182 | Was it for this mans sin, or his fathers, that he was born blind? |
A70182 | What a distorted and preposterous account is that found, that God should punish men before they sin, because he foresees they will sin? |
A70182 | What is then: mere Will and Power left alone, but a blind Hurricane of Hell? |
A70182 | What reason can be more clear or more convincing, That God can create a Spirit in the proper sense thereof, which includes Indiscerpibility? |
A70182 | What remains then to be his Humiliation, but the condescending to assist and countenance the unclean endeavours of Adulterers and Adulteresses? |
A70182 | What then is that action which proceeds onely from that part from which Goodness is secluded? |
A70182 | What was it that gave us our being, but the immense goodness of our Maker? |
A70182 | When it was just and wise for God to do so or so, and the contrary to do otherwise, had he a freedom to decline the doing so? |
A70182 | Where is then the difference betwixt the just and the wicked, in state, place, and body? |
A70182 | Where should he use his Understanding and Reason, if not in things unrevealed in Scripture; that is, in Philosophical things? |
A70182 | Whither then can this Sol redivivus or the Earth turned wholly into the Materia subtilissima again be carried, but into the Sun it self? |
A70182 | Who acquainted him with the Divine Counsels? |
A70182 | Why should God make the Spirit of a Flea, which was intended for the constituting of such a small Animal, large enough to fill the whole world? |
A70182 | Why therefore may we not lapse as before? |
A70182 | Why? |
A70182 | Will not the sincere and vertuous both in the Earth and Air be secured from this sad fate? |
A70182 | and how shall we know it is so, unless there be an intrinsecal relation betwixt Veracity and Perfection? |
A70182 | and if it be an humbling and debasing of him, how is it glorious? |
A70182 | be said neither to have done good nor evil, if they pre- existed before they came into this world? |
A70182 | or, hath he by his holy pen- men told us that either of the other ways was more sutable to his beneplaciture? |
A70182 | or, would they by violence have taken any of the priviledges of the other intellectual Creatures from them? |
A70182 | shall Christ undergo another and another death for them? |
A70182 | that any Object may be conformable to any Faculty? |
A70182 | the state of silence and insensibility? |
A70182 | would not the difference be insensible, and the scandal, if any, the same in both? |
A62243 | & c. have said, p Who shall bring man to see, what shall be after him? |
A62243 | ( d) What will not Malice invent? |
A62243 | ( f) Mans goings are of the Lord, how can a man then understand his own way? |
A62243 | ( hast thou Conscience?) |
A62243 | A man may well ask Iob''s question, f Doth the wild Ass bray when he hath grass? |
A62243 | An intent to wean us from the World, and make us yield up our hearts, and place our affections on that true object of love, himself? |
A62243 | An invitation to more fixed joys then this World affords, to find out, and taste, and see, how good and gracious he is? |
A62243 | And can any man expect, even in this World, to separate God''s two great attributes of Justice, and Mercy? |
A62243 | And can he behold ignorance and folly, and not believe there is some such thing as knowledge, or perfect wisdom? |
A62243 | And can we be content to part with the one, but on no terms to be deprived of the other? |
A62243 | And how happens it or comes it to pass, that it supplies the place of Reason, that more than ordinary divine gift in us? |
A62243 | And if that perfect love, that should have held place in us, be dispossessed, shall not reason and understanding struggle for her? |
A62243 | And if the Psalmist ▪ s demand should be applied to outward goods, and one in that very notion should cry out, u who will shew us any good? |
A62243 | And if the same were an infused spirit, and not part of the body, how the same with the body should cease to be or move? |
A62243 | And if this be the usual result of its treachery and fraud; and it may be prevented, why should it not be prevented? |
A62243 | And may we stile our selves of Paul, or of Apollos, and then in assuming the Title, cast away our Charity and our Reason too? |
A62243 | And notwithstanding my follies and transgressions, I have said in my heart, What evil happeneth unto me? |
A62243 | And now if our gourd be withered, shall we sit down in a sullen mood? |
A62243 | And shall this be performed by our endeavours to find out means to forget our sufferings? |
A62243 | And therefore I appeal to any man of Reason, whether direct Idolatry be not folly, or rather a phrensy and madness? |
A62243 | And therefore ought not we in reason, as much as may be, to keep out all Rivals? |
A62243 | And what is that we seem to drive at all our lives and why? |
A62243 | And what kind of Affection is this? |
A62243 | And when it is a cogitation, how can it cease to be? |
A62243 | And why then should I exceed that measure, which I would have only meted out for my self? |
A62243 | And would we not our Imagination could invent, or find out some such thing? |
A62243 | Are not all his Temporal blessings on condition? |
A62243 | Are they not alike cunning? |
A62243 | But now, how are things brought in this shape to the Affections? |
A62243 | But who is so mad to part with any one Virtue, for Honour, as necessity often inforces, if a man will needs get it? |
A62243 | Caesar we say, was a man of quick Parts; and how was he so? |
A62243 | Can any man in Sorrow, do, or say that to his Neighbour which Reason forbids? |
A62243 | Can he find such a thing as falshood in himself, and not believe there is truth? |
A62243 | Can he observe himself sometimes harsh and cruel, and not acknowledge that there is such a thing as mercy? |
A62243 | Can he observe his own weakness, without acknowledging some absolute power? |
A62243 | Did I say, cast away those thoughts? |
A62243 | Did ever any man observe the motion of his soul, and not at that time see his ignorance, and impute folly to some of his actions? |
A62243 | Did ever man yet behold two Souls, naturally, as we say in common acceptation, alike? |
A62243 | Did he never injure man? |
A62243 | Do they not build their Nests alike? |
A62243 | Do we not find our Imagination allured or inticed to work from the restless strugling of some affection? |
A62243 | Do we not love and admire Truth, Justice, Mercy,& c. Do we not hate the contraries thereof, falshood, wrong and cruelty? |
A62243 | Do we not think our State Politicks look on all others, as Fools and Ideots? |
A62243 | Do we not, or may we not observe, there has been sometimes a burning within us? |
A62243 | Do''s it at any time teach us or instruct us to do or say, what we would not have done, or said in relation to our selves? |
A62243 | For unless it be, to resolve that question, What shall I do to inherit eternal life? |
A62243 | For why does a man desire any thing, but because he loves it? |
A62243 | Has not that alone, and not Sense, raised the Proverb of the Crow? |
A62243 | Has not that often put divers and various colours upon Objects, as it were through Sense, at several times, and upon several occasions? |
A62243 | Have I considered the vanity thereof, and yet neglected to do good, and distribute? |
A62243 | Have I endeavoured to heap up Riches, and knew not who should enjoy them? |
A62243 | Have not many men thought, they have done God good service in some action, and yet repented them of the action? |
A62243 | Have we not, as it were Yesterday, beheld things as Delightful, Beautiful and Pleasant, through that false glass only, which to day we do not? |
A62243 | How Love may be regent? |
A62243 | How far the Soul of man is similar with that of Brutes? |
A62243 | How far will it asswage my pain, to see another more grievously tormented with the Gout? |
A62243 | How many thousand millions of that sage provident creature, the Ant, do''s one winter destroy? |
A62243 | How oft have we observed our Affection, nay our whole Soul, disturbed and disquieted, through the delusion of this one faculty in us, the Imagination? |
A62243 | How shall we judge of the reality of those fruits, otherwise than by our reason? |
A62243 | How should I believe alteration of substance, when I see plainly there is none? |
A62243 | How were it else possible good men should be willing to die, and leave this World? |
A62243 | I would fain know, what affinity there is between the thoughts of Judgment, Justice, Mercy, or another World; and the Body? |
A62243 | If he determine that he thinks he should; the question will be, about that consideration, how it could arise? |
A62243 | If there be any such thing, as a beast in the likeness of a man, and one should fight with it, I may ask St. Pauls question, What advantageth it? |
A62243 | Is it not from opinion only, and the bare work of the Imagination in them? |
A62243 | Is it not the strength of this one faculty alone so predominant often in us, that introduces various forms of one and the same thing? |
A62243 | Is it not thereupon set on work? |
A62243 | Is it possible, think you, from Reason, to have a belief raised in any mans Soul, of his own merit or worth in relation to any future state? |
A62243 | Is there nothing to be found amiable, but what is corruptible? |
A62243 | Now does not reason dictate this to us? |
A62243 | Now how comes this faculty, which is imployed and works for the enlightning of the whole Soul, to delude and deceive us so often? |
A62243 | Now if any man shall ask me, At what time the Soul of man, being a substance of it self distinct from the Body, enters and possesses the Body? |
A62243 | Or whether they with the imagination have not wrought together of themselves, for want of a better guide, rather than of any spirit from above? |
A62243 | Reason is a good guide, but we often want a better; a There be many that say,( says the Psalmist) who will shew us any good? |
A62243 | Shall I think of being forgot, when I can say, Lord remember me and all my troubles? |
A62243 | Shall he that gives us all things withdraw himself, for want of our beholding him in that notion? |
A62243 | Shall others make room for us, and ours none for others, whom perhaps God has designed to advance, by our seeming loss? |
A62243 | St. Iames, by way of question, informs us a very truth( d) Whence come Wars, and Fightings amongst you? |
A62243 | St. Paul joyns the having and receiving together, y What hast thou, that thou didst not receive? |
A62243 | This was the voice of Iacob upon his Brother''s question,( when he saw the Women and Children) who are those with thee? |
A62243 | Thou hast given me understanding, which is the greater gift, shall that be for nought? |
A62243 | Thou hast given me what I never asked, and bereaved me of what I most desired; but who is able to comprehend the methods of thy Judgments? |
A62243 | Thou hast, to the wonder of others, spared me; whose thoughts have been, when shall he die, and his name perish? |
A62243 | Thou wilt raise them up again at the last, glorious Bodies; and shall that Body from which thou causedst them to proceed, go into the bottomless pit? |
A62243 | Thy ways and methods, and thy decrees, O Lord, are hidden, but wilt thou refuse a present desire of return? |
A62243 | To what place shall we convey them? |
A62243 | What can his meaning be herein by the words himself, and exercise? |
A62243 | What do we talk of finding Happiness here? |
A62243 | What greater cause of joy can any man have, than that it hath pleased God to make him instrumental, in adding Saints unto his Kingdom of Heaven? |
A62243 | What is it? |
A62243 | What occurrence is there in man''s life, that this rule may not be laid to? |
A62243 | What subtle ways do some of them use towards the obtaining their desired prey? |
A62243 | What then? |
A62243 | What was the cause of their good works? |
A62243 | What''s the cause of all this? |
A62243 | What? |
A62243 | When we are answerable for its transgressions? |
A62243 | Wherein the Soul of man exceeds that of Brutes? |
A62243 | Whether that be not guided by affection sometimes, as well as affection by that? |
A62243 | Why a lover of truth? |
A62243 | Why do''s he regard his promise, and sometimes perform it to his disadvantage? |
A62243 | Why is he, or how comes he to be at any time just, and faithful? |
A62243 | and do they not express their Intellect alike; whether by obedience or disobedience to us, whether by their crouching, fawning, or resistance? |
A62243 | and for too close an union amongst themselves, and to other Creatures without respect to us? |
A62243 | and if that escape not his sight, how will he be able to deny, but that there is such a thing as justice? |
A62243 | and shall we be disturbed at the loss, when we voluntarily commit the forfeiture? |
A62243 | and we can have no fitter reply that How readest thou? |
A62243 | and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A62243 | can he that goes down to the pit praise thee? |
A62243 | can it be any offence against that good spirit, for a man to behold his own unworthiness? |
A62243 | can that wholly allay the tumours in the Soul, which is in some manner the very cause or occasion of those tumours? |
A62243 | come they not hence even of your lusts? |
A62243 | from whence and whom himself? |
A62243 | or for what work or use shall we assign them in our thoughts? |
A62243 | or loweth the Ox over his fodder? |

A26782 | Now what is the chief Good to which all our desires should turn, and our endeavours aspire? |
A26782 | Of how different qualities are Earth, Water, Air, Fire? |
A26782 | Of the twenty four hours in the day how much is wasted on the Body, how little is given to the Soul? |
A26782 | Or does the Soul lose its wings that it can not take so high a flight? |
A26782 | Or if a fleshy substance only, how weak and unapt for service? |
A26782 | Or when they have taken that last step, is the precipice so steep that they can not ascend hither? |
A26782 | Or would the sowing of Seed in the Earth certainly produce such a determinate sort of Grain? |
A26782 | Quis quamne est hominumqui non cum istius principii notione diem primae nativitatis intraverit? |
A26782 | Stulte ex operibus corporis agnoscis viventem, ex operibus creaturae non agnoscis creatorem? |

A26782 | To recapitulate briefly what has been amplified before; Is there not a God the Maker of the World? |
A26782 | To whom he propounds this question, That since his Body was only visible, and not his Soul, why should it not be buried? |
A26782 | Vnde scio? |
A26782 | What an unequal division is this? |
A26782 | What are Crowns, Scepters, Robes of State, splendor of Jewels, Treasures, or whatever the Earth has in any kind or degrees of good? |
A26782 | What coldness of affection to God as if they were not in the comfortable relation of his Children, but wholly without his care? |
A26782 | What colour, what taste has Vertue? |
A26782 | What corporeal Image can represent the immensity of the Heavens, as the Mind by convincing arguments apprehends it? |
A26782 | What discouragements in his Service? |
A26782 | What does not a mortal man arrogate to appear terrible, and make his Will to be obeyed, when he has but power to take away this short natural life? |

A26782 | Who infused into the Birds the art to build their nests, the love to cherish their young? |
A26782 | Who then can possess these things without a just jealousie, lest they should slip away, or be ravisht from him by violence? |
A26782 | With what solemnity and composedness of Spirit should we approach the Divine Presence? |
A26782 | Would the Stars keep a perpetual course regularly in such appearing irregularities? |
A26782 | and if Death be so near, can Eternity be so distant? |
A26782 | and so far as the one descends in benefits, the other should ascend in thankfulness? |
A26782 | are not its objects transcendently more excellent? |
A26782 | are not the Wheat and Tares bound in a bundle and cast into the same fire? |
A26782 | as if a blind Man in a crowd sometimes justling one, sometimes another, should with impatience cry out, Do ye not see? |
A26782 | can they make Conscience dumb, that it shall never reproach their Impieties, because they are deaf to its voice? |
A26782 | could it have past the test of so many searching Wits, that never had a share in Government? |
A26782 | cui non sit ingenitum, non impressum, non insitum, esse Regem& Dominum, caeterorumque quaecunque sunt moderatorem? |
A26782 | do they drink the Waters of forgetfulness, so as to lose the memory of the Earth and its Inhabitants? |
A26782 | from whence proceed their different vertues? |
A26782 | have they Hooks that fasten, or Birdlime or Pitch or any glutinous matter, that by touching they cleave so fast together? |
A26782 | have they a capacity of such an immense Blessedness, that no finite Object in its qualities and duration can satisfy? |
A26782 | have they desires of a sublime intellectual good that the low sensual part can not partake of? |
A26782 | have they secret provisions in times of Famine? |
A26782 | how are they so firmly united? |
A26782 | how doth the same Water dye them with various Colours, the Scarlet, the Purple, the Carnation? |

A26782 | itane, cum nihil nisi nomen esses, Ego te, tanquam rem aliquam exercui? |
A26782 | no Law of Righteousness for the distinction of Rewards? |
A26782 | or a strong retreat to defend them from the Sword of a conquering enemy? |
A26782 | or only assign universal causes of things, and sometimes the same for operations extreamly contrary? |
A26782 | or, is a skilful hand requisite to joyn them, and direct their motion? |
A26782 | shall not this or that desire of the Senses be contented for ever? |
A26782 | shall there be a divorce between you and your ancient Loves for ever? |
A26782 | shall we judg of the truth of Nature in any kind of beings, by the Monsters in it? |
A26782 | shall we spend it to purchase transient vanities? |
A26782 | shall we waste this unvaluable Treasure in idleness, or actions worse than idleness? |

A26782 | what amazement, what dejection of Spirit, to find themselves in a sad unpreparedness for their great Account? |
A26782 | what can allay our sorrows, but the Divine Goodness tenderly inclin''d to succour us? |

A26782 | ‖ Quid est in his in quo non naturae ratio intelligentis appareat? |
A26782 | ‖ Quis nunc extremus ideota, vel quae abjecta muliercula non credit animae immortalitatem? |
A26782 | ‖ Succutiebant vestem meam carneam,& murmurabant dimittisne nos? |
A26782 | † Quis non stupeat hoc fieri posse sine manibus? |
A35985 | Alas, how fondly doth mankind suffer it self to be deluded? |
A35985 | And can all this be any thing else but a root? |
A35985 | And first we shall ask, what downwards signifies? |
A35985 | And how came they by it? |
A35985 | And how do they revive in the phantasie the same motions, by which they came in thither at the first? |
A35985 | And if so, how far are they from that happiness& perfection: which consists in knowing all things? |
A35985 | And if thou ask, what motions or qualities these be? |
A35985 | And is not each of them as really distinguish''d from any other? |
A35985 | And that man, by apprehending, becomes the thing apprehended; not by change of his nature to it, but by assumption of it to his? |
A35985 | And that, to apprehend ought is to have the nature of that thing within ones self? |
A35985 | And then may I justly sigh out, from the bottom of my anguished heart, To what purpose have I hitherto lived? |
A35985 | And then, if you enquire, how it comes to pass, that one white is like another? |
A35985 | And, as soon as it meets with the cold air in its eruption, will it not be stop''d and thick''ned? |
A35985 | And, how can two such different natures ever meet proportionably? |
A35985 | And, if there be no such motion there, what should occasion him to prosecute or avoid that object? |
A35985 | And, if this latter way; which part first? |
A35985 | And, new parts flocking still from the root; must they not clog that issue, and grow into a button, which will be a bud? |
A35985 | And, what grief, what discontent, what misery can be like the others? |
A35985 | And, who knows but that a like sucking, to this which we have shew''d in magnetick things, passes also in the motion of gravity? |
A35985 | Another question is that great one, Why a Loadstone cap''d with steel takes up more iron, then it would do if it were without that caping? |
A35985 | Are not these parts then actually and really in a mans body? |
A35985 | As, of the Sensible Qalities: ask what it is to be white or red, what to be sweet or sowr, what to be odoriferous or stinking, what to be cold or hot? |
A35985 | Ask any simple Artisan, Where such a man, such a house, such a tree, or such a thing is? |
A35985 | BUt how are these things conserv''d in the brain? |
A35985 | But how can these things stand together? |
A35985 | But is there any sense quicker than the sight? |
A35985 | But now if you ask, why it will not drop, unless the end of the label that hangs be lower then the water? |
A35985 | But whither art thou flown, my Soul? |
A35985 | But you will insist, and ask, Whether in that posture the heart moves or no; and how? |
A35985 | But, how may we esteem the just proportion they have to one another? |
A35985 | But, how much is this indifferent knowledg, that for this purpose is requir''d in this world? |
A35985 | But, in what manner, and by what means doth it begin there? |
A35985 | But, it is like to any one of the things, or to all the ten? |
A35985 | Can any perversity so distort thy straight eys, that thou should''st not look alwaies fix''d on this Mark, and level thy aim directly at this White? |
A35985 | Can these germs chuse but pierce the earth in small strings, as they are able to make their way? |
A35985 | Can we imagine, she would allow him so much lazy time, to effect nothing in? |
A35985 | Doth not all tend, to make one seem and appear that which indeed he is not? |
A35985 | Eels, of dewy turfs, or of mud? |
A35985 | Fishs of Herns? |
A35985 | For, doth not our eye evidently inform us, there are fingers, hands, arms, legs, feet, toes, and variety of other parts in a Mans Body? |
A35985 | For, first, how could he attribute divers sorts of Vacuities to water, without giving it divers figures? |
A35985 | For, how can parts be fitted to an indivisible thing? |
A35985 | For, if any parts be actually distinguish''d, why should not all be so? |
A35985 | For, if he have them not, how doth he work by them? |
A35985 | For, if the nature of a thing were Order, who can doubt, but what were put into that thing were put into Order? |
A35985 | For, setting knowledge aside, what can it avail a man to be able to talk of any thing? |
A35985 | For, what are words but motion? |
A35985 | For, what can be more direct to that effect, than to hide themselvs in Hedg- bottoms, or in Woods? |
A35985 | For, what difference can their being infinite bring to them, of such force as to destroy their essence and property? |
A35985 | For, what reason were there, that thou should''st be implanted in a soil which can not bear thy fruit? |
A35985 | Fourthly, what should hinder the blood from coming in before the heart be quite- empty and shrunk to its lowest pitch? |
A35985 | Hast thou not already paid too dear, for thy knowing more, than thy share? |
A35985 | How could Frogs be ingendred in the air? |
A35985 | How could Rats come to fill ships; into which never any were brought? |
A35985 | How he knows that Ice, quantity for quantity, is lighter then water? |
A35985 | How is it possible that the same thing can be, and not be, in the same notion? |
A35985 | How long this staff is? |
A35985 | How miserably foolish are those conquering Tyrants, that divide the world with their lawless Swords? |
A35985 | How shall the place, or the time pass''d, be removed and put in another place, and in another time? |
A35985 | How shall the same thing be corporeally in two, nay, in two thousand places, at the same time? |
A35985 | How should I stamp a figure of thy immense greatness, into my material imagination? |
A35985 | How should a bone here be hollow, there be blady, and in another part take the form of a rib; and those many figures which we see of bones? |
A35985 | How should the nature of flesh here become broad there round, and take just the figure of the part it is to cover? |
A35985 | How then can a Soul''s judgments be the cause of her misery? |
A35985 | How true it is, that the only thing necessary proves the only that is neglected? |
A35985 | How vehement then must the activity and energy be, where with so puissant a Substance shoots itself to its desired object? |
A35985 | How would the continual driving it into a thinner substance, as it streams in a perpetual flood from the flame, seem to play upon the paper? |
A35985 | If then Sense can not determine any one part; how shall it see that it is distinguish''d from all other parts? |
A35985 | If then it be press''d, how can Substance( in reality or in things) be accommodated to Quantity, since of it self it is indivisible? |
A35985 | If then light makes a greater impression with time, why should we doubt but the first comes also in time; were our sense so nimble as to perceive it? |
A35985 | If there be not, how becomes it a warning to her? |
A35985 | If you ask me, how this comes to pass; and, by what artifice, Bodies are thus spiritualized? |
A35985 | Indeed, how can it be otherwise? |
A35985 | May it not then be my sad chance, to be one of their unhappy number? |
A35985 | Or can they see light, or any thing else, until it be with them? |
A35985 | Or can we suspect she intends him no further advantage, than what an abortive child arrives to in his mothers womb? |
A35985 | Or hast thou not heard, that Who will pry into Majesty, shall be oppressed by the glory of it? |
A35985 | Or rather, why should not salt hinder the fire from being carried thither? |
A35985 | Or to swim over a River, when that is the most immediate way to run from the Dogs? |
A35985 | Or when it leaves our Horizon to enlighten the other world? |
A35985 | Or, what inconvenience would follow, if it be admitted? |
A35985 | Secondly, I would ask him, if he measured his water after every salting? |
A35985 | Some are so curious( shall I say?) |
A35985 | Suppose that half an hour were resumed into one instant or indivisible of time: what a strange kind of durance would that be? |
A35985 | Take a Bean, or any other seed; and put it into the earth ▪ and let water fall upon it: can it be but the bean must swell? |
A35985 | The bean swelling, can it chuse but break the skin? |
A35985 | The next Question is, why a loadstone seems to love iron better then another loadstone? |
A35985 | The skin broken, can it chuse( by reason of the heat that is in it) but push out more matter, and do that action which we may call germinating? |
A35985 | These grounds being thus lay''d, let us examine, whether our Soul doth in this life arrive to the end she was ordain''d for, or no? |
A35985 | To be like, to be half, or be cause, or effect, what is it? |
A35985 | To his second argument, we ask? |
A35985 | To this, I answer, allowing that peradventure it may be so: Who knows the contrary? |
A35985 | To what purpose Aristotle''s and Archimedes''s? |
A35985 | To what purpose are all these millions of toilsome Ants, that live and labour about me? |
A35985 | To what purpose were Caesar''s and Alexander''s? |
A35985 | Toads, of Ducks? |
A35985 | What a difform net, with a strange variety of mashes, would this be? |
A35985 | What a prodigious thing, then, must it be, to have an instant equalise half an hour? |
A35985 | What are those wranglings, where the discovery of Truth is neither sought nor hoped for, but meerly Vanity and Ostentation? |
A35985 | What colour that mans cloaths are of? |
A35985 | What gains could they promise themselvs, to countervail their desperate attempts? |
A35985 | What is it then that makes it be one? |
A35985 | What is likeness, but an imperfect unity between a thing and that which''t is said to be like to? |
A35985 | What is required at thy hands( my Soul) like this? |
A35985 | What motives, what hopes had these daring men? |
A35985 | What prerogative have some that the others have not? |
A35985 | What proportion is there, in the common estimation of affairs, between that trivial sum and fifty millions? |
A35985 | What sense should we imploy in this discovery? |
A35985 | What should move a Lamb to tremble at the first sight of a Woolf? |
A35985 | What sight is sharp enough to penetrate into the mysterious Essence, sprouting into different Persons? |
A35985 | What stange thing, then is this admirable multiplication of Existence: or how may I be able to comprehend it? |
A35985 | What then can we imagine, but that the very nature of a thing apprehended is truly in the man who apprehends it? |
A35985 | What will this be, when fleeting time shall be converted into permanent Eternity? |
A35985 | When we say, water, fire, gold, silver, bread,& c. do we mean or express any determinate figure? |
A35985 | Whether the motion of weighty and light things, and of such as are forced, be not, by him as well as by us, attributed to extern causes? |
A35985 | Whither then is it flown? |
A35985 | Who can read this Riddle? |
A35985 | Who can strengthen our eys, to endure Eagle- wise this glorious and resplendent S ● n? |
A35985 | Who is their guide in these obscure paths? |
A35985 | Why dost thou not break the walls and chains of thy flesh and blood; and leap into this glorious liberty? |
A35985 | Yet Sir, you''r justly accused by this age, Plain truths in difficulties to engage: What needed you to such nice cost proceed? |
A35985 | and again, shrink back into so little room, as when it returns into water or is contracted into ice? |
A35985 | and, if he did, whether he did not find the quantity greater, then before that salt was dissolv''d in it? |
A35985 | and, when it injoyes it, how violent must the extasie and transport be, wherwith it is delighted? |
A35985 | answer''d bredilus, and for beer? |
A35985 | how long wilt thou be inquisitive and curious to thine own peril? |
A35985 | or a Hen at a Kite never before seen? |
A35985 | or means to know, speedier than by our eyes? |
A35985 | or that the corns upon our toes, or calluses, or broken bones, or joints that have been dislocated, have discourse& can foretell the weather? |
A35985 | or what is it more to her than if a straw were wag''d at the Antipodes? |
A35985 | to what a daz''ling height art thou mounted? |
A35985 | who can dive into this Abiss? |
A35985 | who can shoot light into this infinite pit of darkness? |

A36909 | Methinks he looks so like a silly I''uny, that I durst venture a foil with him: But where''s fair Hellen, and the ugly Thersites? |
A36909 | N. — VVho''s this that talks of Rage and VVretchedness, without comparing his with my hard Fate? |
A36909 | Now, VVhat can this mean, but that I''m ordain''d to actuate a Drunkard? |
A36909 | Or, whether he pretends to an immediate Creation of it out of nothing? |
A36909 | P. — VVhy, what''s the matter with you? |
A36909 | Pray( says a Third) will you go ask your Master what he means by the Sun''s forming a great Vertex of sluid Matter for the Stars to swim in? |

A36909 | Pray, what sort of Fish gave you the most troublesome Entertainment? |
A36909 | Pray, what''s that? |
A36909 | Ruffs and Commodes will be out of Fashion: But what need you take care of that? |
A36909 | Say you so? |
A36909 | Say, Fellow- Immateriality: What shall I do? |
A36909 | Say, all ye Aethereal Querists, have you any doubt to send into the other World? |
A36909 | Shall I ever forget this inorganical way of Converse? |
A36909 | Shall I suffer for another''s Pamphletteering, for telling News before it happens, and sometimes such as always has, is, and will be a Notorious Lye? |
A36909 | Shall we be for ever plagu''d with Repetitions of the harsh Reception our Fraternity find below? |
A36909 | Suppose it were criminal to fly, shou''d a Rock boast of its Virtue in refraining? |
A36909 | Suppose there''s no such a Being in all the Heavens as Taurus, but only a Nominal Division of the Heavens, what will become of Horns and Fodder then? |
A36909 | That''s reasonable enough, — What else have you to offer? |
A36909 | These immediate Conceptions, without the Assistance of Sense? |
A36909 | They''ll answer,''T is an Encrease of Money by Months, Days,& c. Ask whether the Sea grows bigger by an encrease of all the Rivers that run into it? |
A36909 | This simple Particularity of Perception, without Composition or Division? |

A36909 | Why, what Relations have you now? |

A36909 | are all the 999999999 Souls( which were made upon the same day that the Angels were) sent into Bodies, except you? |

A36909 | whether locally by a Medium, or in an instant, or in Time, or how? |
A36909 | why shou''d it seem strange to you, that pure Aether shou''d afford such a Nourishment, when your common, gross, vaporous Air nourishes Vegitables? |
A36909 | why so high? |
A36909 | — A strange kind of Exression, Brother, is not it? |
A36909 | — Alas Poor wretch; and don''t you know how to prevent all this? |
A36909 | — Amongst my Predecessors? |
A36909 | — And after all this, Is''t not pity the poor Rogue shou''d take such pains to be damned? |
A36909 | — And cou''d I quietly brook such an abrupt, hasty Separation from a Comrade, I had been so intimate with for near Seventy Years? |
A36909 | — And is the Impostor gone? |

A36909 | — Assist me, Fancy: What Hair had he? |
A36909 | — But amongst all your Rambles, did you never make a Visit to the Globe of the Earth? |

A36909 | — I''m a little asham''d, or I wou''d ask when I shall be Marry''d? |
A36909 | — I''m sorry for that; I wish I cou''d miscarry of mine too; — Bur where''s the Philosopher? |
A36909 | — If they say, they ca n''t tell; reply, Do you ask Money, and are so very a Dunce? |
A36909 | — If you know any other Reason besides your Sword, pray answer — whether''t is not the End of an ● ction that dignifies it? |
A36909 | — Indeed this has not yet been consider''d; but wo n''t it disoblige the Computation of the Astrologick Souls? |
A36909 | — Is he gone? |
A36909 | — Is it so? |
A36909 | — Is what? |
A36909 | — Item, Were you a Man, or a Spirit, when you were Boston of the Ark? |
A36909 | — Next, Why do ye thus hanker after a rotten, putrifying Body; chusing that Shape that it once bore, before all others? |
A36909 | — Now, are not you a spiteful Spirit, to disturb my Rest, when you have taken yours? |
A36909 | — Now, for Cloaths? |
A36909 | — Now, for a Body, Arms, Thighs, Legs and Feet? |
A36909 | — Of what? |
A36909 | — Or, whether Actions in themselves are either good or ill otherwise than as they receive such denominations from the End which determines them? |
A36909 | — Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Bithinia,& c. — Well, Do you know where you are now? |
A36909 | — Pray how can that be? |
A36909 | — Pray what''s that? |
A36909 | — Pray where does your Calculation begin? |
A36909 | — Pray, What are they? |
A36909 | — Pray, let me ask you one Question: Is there any Musick better than the Original of all Musick? |
A36909 | — Speak — Speak quickly, VVhat is''t? |
A36909 | — Stand, there: What Commission have ye in these Quarters, you — Tub- man? |
A36909 | — That will be something: But what shall I do for the rest? |
A36909 | — This is strange Doctrine to Mortals; — pray''how do Spiris move? |
A36909 | — VVhat Assignation? |
A36909 | — VVhat mine? |
A36909 | — VVhat think ye of the Reasons of this Hypothesis now? |
A36909 | — VVhere is he? |
A36909 | — VVho''s there, that Catechises me? |
A36909 | — WEll, What News, Brother? |
A36909 | — WHat am I? |
A36909 | — WHat have you forgot your old Companion? |
A36909 | — WHat, more Complaints still? |
A36909 | — Well, and have you any thing else to promote? |
A36909 | — Well, and what then? |
A36909 | — Well, since we must away, where is this Iesuit to live? |
A36909 | — Well; and what then? |
A36909 | — What Apprehensions have Mankind, when they see this Airy Vehicle that you assume every Night? |
A36909 | — What Despotick Spirit is this that presumes to huff, and encroach upon my Priviledges? |
A36909 | — What Mathematical Soul is this that''s computing the Day of Iudgment? |
A36909 | — What a vain Contest is here about a Preheminence that belongs to neither of you? |
A36909 | — What curious Translations are design''d for the next Supplement? |
A36909 | — What do you mean? |
A36909 | — What do you mean? |
A36909 | — What fine Countries are yonder? |
A36909 | — What think you of Pythagoras his Collections before he went into his Body? |
A36909 | — What''s the meaning of this? |
A36909 | — What, Have you forgot me your old Comrade, and your Contract? |

A36909 | — Whether the Pope be Antichrist or no? |
A36909 | — Whether there may be found out a Cannon to measure a spherical Convoid? |
A36909 | — Who''s that? |
A36909 | — Who''s that? |
A36909 | — Why ha''now, old Comrade? |
A36909 | — Why have you not yet effected your Promise of recruiting the exhausted stores of Nature about Thunder and Lightning? |
A36909 | — Why many Questions are never answer''d? |
A36909 | — Why so? |
A36909 | — Why so? |
A36909 | — Why upon this Errand at such an unseasonable Hour? |
A36909 | — Why, what''s to be learn''d there, more than Decoy or Wheedling in a Yo — re Squire or two? |
A36909 | — Why, ye Etherial Stragglers: Are we bound to give you an Account? |
A36909 | — Yes to my Sorrow: — VVhat think you now of your Doctrine of Fatality? |
A36909 | — You have supply''d the exhausted Stores of Thunder and Lightning,& c. Pray which way are your labouring Thoughts employ''d now? |
A36909 | — wo n''t these serve in their Room as well as may be? |
A35987 | 2 What then can we imagine, but that the very nature of a thing apprehended, is truly in the man, who doth apprehend it? |
A35987 | 3 Which is; whether there would be any naturall motion deepe in the earth, beyond the actiuity of the sunnes beames? |
A35987 | Ad imitationem summi, post Apostolorum tempora, ingenio& doctrinâ Theologi, exclamare libet: Quale tibi fabricatus es cubile in mente mea Domine? |
A35987 | Alas, how fondly doth mankinde suffer it selfe to be deluded? |
A35987 | An other question, 5 is that great one; why a loadestone capped with steele, taketh vp more iron then it would do if it were without that capping? |
A35987 | And as soone as it meeteth with the cold ayre in its eruption, will it not be stopped and thickned? |
A35987 | And by what artifice, bodies are thus spiritualized? |
A35987 | And can all this be any thing else but a roote? |
A35987 | And how came they by it? |
A35987 | And how can two such different natures euer meete porportionably? |
A35987 | And how do they reuiue in the fantasie, 1 the same motions by which they came in thither at the first? |
A35987 | And if he did, whether he did not find the quantity greater, then before that salt was dissolued in it? |
A35987 | And if the steame of burned milke cā hurt by carrying fire to the dugge; why should not salt cast vpon it, be a preseruatiue against it? |
A35987 | And if there be no such motion there, what should occasion him, to prosecute or auoyd that obiect? |
A35987 | And if this later way; which part first? |
A35987 | And is not each of them as really distinguished from any other? |
A35987 | And new partes flocking still from the roote, must they not clogge that issue, and grow into a button, which will be a budd? |
A35987 | And that man, by apprehending, doth become the thing apprehended; not by change of his nature vnto it, but by assumption of it vnto his? |
A35987 | And that to apprehend ought, is to haue the nature of that thing within ones selfe? |
A35987 | And then if you enquire how it cometh to passe, that one white is like an other? |
A35987 | And what griefe, what discontent, what misery, can be like the others? |
A35987 | And who knoweth but that a like sucking to this which we haue shewed in magnetike thinges, passeth also in the motion of grauity? |
A35987 | Are not these partes then actually and really in a mans body? |
A35987 | As if you aske them, how a wall is white, or blacke? |
A35987 | BVt how are these thinges conserued in the braine? |
A35987 | Besides, to be tenne, doth expressely imply to be not one: how then can that be a materiall thing, which by being one representeth many? |
A35987 | But how can these thinges stand together? |
A35987 | But how may wee estimate the iust proportion they haue to one on other? |
A35987 | But how much is this indifferent knowledge, that for this purpose is required in this world? |
A35987 | But in what manner, and by what meanes, doth it beginne there? |
A35987 | But is it like to any one of the thinges, or is it like to all the tenne? |
A35987 | But is there any sense quicker then the sight? |
A35987 | But whither art thou flowne, my soule? |
A35987 | But you will insist, and aske, whether in that posture the hart doth moue or no, and how? |
A35987 | Can any dull obliuion deface this so liuely and so beautifull image? |
A35987 | Can these germes choose but pierce the earth in small stringes, as they are able to make their way? |
A35987 | Can we imagine, she would allow him so much laysie time, to effect nothing in? |
A35987 | Doctor Gilbert seemeth also to haue an other controuersy with all writers; to witt whether any bodies besides magneticall ones, be attractiue? |
A35987 | Doth not all tend, to make him seeme and appeare that which indeed he is not? |
A35987 | Eeles of deewy turfes, or of mudde? |
A35987 | Exemplorum similitudinum, experimentorum copiam& varietatem? |
A35987 | Fish, of hernes? |
A35987 | For first, how could he attribute diuers sortes of vacuites to water, without giuing it diuers figures? |
A35987 | For how can a straw or feather be imagined possibly to fly with halfe the violence as a bullett of lead doth out of one of those engines? |
A35987 | For how can partes be fitted to an indiuisible thing? |
A35987 | For if any partes be actually distinguished, why should not all be so? |
A35987 | For setting knowledge aside, what can it auayle a man to be able to talke of any thing? |
A35987 | For what are wordes, but motion? |
A35987 | For what can be more direct to that effect, then to hide themselues in hedge bottomes, or in woods? |
A35987 | For what difference can theire being infinite, bring to them, of such force as to destroy theire essence and property? |
A35987 | For what reason were there, that thou shouldest be implanted in a soyle, which can not beare thy fruite? |
A35987 | Fourthly; what should hinder the bloud from coming in, before the hart be quite empty and shrunke to its lowest pitch? |
A35987 | Hast thou not already payed too deare, for thy knowing more then thy share? |
A35987 | How could froggs be ingendred in the ayre? |
A35987 | How could ratts come to fill shippes, into which neuer any were brought? |
A35987 | How is it possible, that the same thing, can be, and not be in the same notion? |
A35987 | How long this staffe is? |
A35987 | How miserably foolish are those conquering tyrants, that diuide the world with their lawlesse swords? |
A35987 | How shall the place, or the time passed, be remoued, and be putt in an other place, and in an other time? |
A35987 | How shall the same thing, be corporeally in two, nay in two thousand places, at the same time? |
A35987 | How should I stampe a figure of thy immense greatnesse, into my materiall imagination? |
A35987 | How should a bone, here be hollow, there be blady, and in an other part take the forme of a ribbe, and those many figures which we see of bones? |
A35987 | How should the nature of flesh, here become broad, there round, and take iust the figure of the part it is to couer? |
A35987 | How then can a soules iudgements, be the cause of her misery? |
A35987 | How true it is, that the only thing necessary, proueth the only thing that is neglected? |
A35987 | How vehement then must the actiuity and energy be, wherewith so puissant a substance shooteth it selfe to its desired obiect? |
A35987 | How would the continuall driuing it into a thinner substance, as it streameth in a perpetuall flood from the flame, seeme to play vpon the paper? |
A35987 | If then it be pressed; how can substance( in reality or in thinges) be accommodated vnto Quantity, seing that of it selfe it is indiuisible? |
A35987 | If then sense can not determine any one part, how shall it see that it is distinguished from all other partes? |
A35987 | If you aske me how this cometh to passe? |
A35987 | If you continue to aske, how doth whitenesse sticke to the wall? |
A35987 | Indeed, how can it be otherwise? |
A35987 | May it not then be my sad chance, to be one of their vnhappy number? |
A35987 | Or can any length of time, draw in thy memory a veyle betweene it, and thy present attention? |
A35987 | Or can they see light, or any thing else; vntill it be with them? |
A35987 | Or can wee suspect, that she intended him no further aduantage, then what an abortiue child arriueth vnto in his mothers wombe? |
A35987 | Or hast thou not heard, that who will prye into maiesty, shall be oppressed by the glory of it? |
A35987 | Or rather, why should not salt hinder the fire from being carryed thither? |
A35987 | Or that the cornes vpon our toes, or calluses, or broken bones, or ioyntes that haue beene dislocated, haue discourse, and can foretell the weather? |
A35987 | Or that the partes of it be more solide then the partes of the stone? |
A35987 | Or to paint a halfe, or a cause, or an effect? |
A35987 | Or to swimme ouer a riuer, when that is the most immediate way to runne from the dogges? |
A35987 | Or what inconuenience would follow, if it be admitted? |
A35987 | Or what is it more to her then if a straw were wagged at the Antipodes? |
A35987 | Or when it leaueth our horizon to light the other world? |
A35987 | Quale tibi sanctuarium aedificasti? |
A35987 | Quid ego nunc styli nitorem,& vbertatem depraedicem? |
A35987 | Scientiarum omnium vnica in dissertatione breuiarium& anacephaloeosim? |
A35987 | Secondly; I would aske him; if he measured his water after euery salting? |
A35987 | Seeing that in materiall thinges, one and many are opposite, and exclude one an other from the same subiect? |
A35987 | Suppose that halfe an houre, were resumed into one instant or indiuisible of time: what a strange kind of durance would that be? |
A35987 | Take a beane, or any other seede, and putt it into the earth, and lett water fall vpon it; can it then choose but that the beane must swell? |
A35987 | That indiuisibly I shall possesse a tenure beyond all possible time? |
A35987 | The beane swelling, can it choose but breake the skinne? |
A35987 | The next question is, why a loadestone seemeth to loue iron better then it doth an other loadestone? |
A35987 | The skinne broken can it choose( by reason of the heate that is in it) but push out more matter, and do that action which we may call germinating? |
A35987 | The thinges( indeed) that are so, haue their resemblances and pictures; but which way should a painter go about to draw a likenesse? |
A35987 | To his second argument, we aske how he knoweth that yce quantity for quantity, is lighter then water? |
A35987 | To what purpose Aristotles and Archimedeses? |
A35987 | To what purpose are all these millions of toilesome auntes, that liue and labour about me? |
A35987 | To what purpose were Cesars and Alexanders? |
A35987 | Toades of duckes? |
A35987 | What a difforme nette with a strāge variety of mashes would this be? |
A35987 | What a prodigious thing then must it be, to haue an instant equalise halfe an houre? |
A35987 | What are those wranglinges, where the discouery of truth is neyther sought, nor hoped for, but meerely vanity and ostentation? |
A35987 | What colour that mans clothes are of? |
A35987 | What gaines could they promise themselues, to counteruaile their desperate attempts? |
A35987 | What is it then that maketh it be one? |
A35987 | What is likenesse, but an imperfect vnity betweene a thing, and that which it is said to be like vnto? |
A35987 | What is required at thy hands( my soule) like this? |
A35987 | What motiues, what hopes had these daring men? |
A35987 | What prerogatiue haue some that the others haue not? |
A35987 | What proportion is there, in the common estimation of affaires, betweene that triuiall summe, and fifty millions? |
A35987 | What sense should we employ in this discouery? |
A35987 | What should moue a lambe to tremble at the first sight of a wolfe? |
A35987 | What sight is sharpe enough to penetrate into the mysterious essence, sprouting into different persons? |
A35987 | What strange thing then, is this admirable multiplication of existence? |
A35987 | What will this be, when fleeting time shall be conuerted into permanent eternity? |
A35987 | When we say water, fire, gold, siluer, bread& c: do we meane or expresse any determinate figure? |
A35987 | Whether the motion of weighty and light thinges, and of such as are forced, be not by him, as well as by vs, atttibuted to externe causes? |
A35987 | Whither then is it flowne? |
