A36512	Yet, what follows?
A36512	can you make but little abatemant?
A36512	have you any commission from the Fathers to give this Challenge in their Names?
A36512	is that your Conscience?
A36512	or does he wax up his ears when he goes to a Play, as( he says) Vlysses did, when he sail''d by the Syrens?
A36512	quid furens saltus amas?
A36512	should mankind address themselves to you: Or have we been cheated with a sham Story of Gods, and Providence, while Chance governs all things?
A36512	what shall I say?
A36512	will the Parallel hold out, and has the English Stage any thing so bad as the Dancing of the Pantomimi?
A35682	A sin too which endanger''d the salvation not only of the Christians to whom he writ, but those who were to succeed them in all posterity?
A35682	And by whom was it writ?
A35682	And can any thing that moves Terror, do a disservice to Religion?
A35682	And have we not here a merry person?
A35682	And the Stage be very significant?
A35682	And what Reply can be made to that, says Mr Collier?
A35682	And what are these words of Aristotle cited to shew?
A35682	And who were the persons among them that advanced their Conquests, and extended their Empire?
A35682	But now let me ask Mr Collier this question, Were these persons inspir''d or no?
A35682	But what has thus exasperated Plato against the Drama?
A35682	But what sort of persons have flourish''d among us since the restoration of the Drama?
A35682	But what was produc''d in the other Sciences, that was worthy of Posterity?
A35682	But why for Godsake?
A35682	But why should a Lord be free from Dramatical censure, when he can be corrected no where but upon the Stage?
A35682	By Monsieur Boileau, the most sober and most religious of all their Poets ▪ Who advis''d it?
A35682	Can any thing be more terrible, than the shewing of Devils, if they are shewn solemnly?
A35682	Can he possibly be guilty of this?
A35682	Did Aeschilus in bringing the Furies upon the Stage of Athens, shew that he thought they were nothing but a poetical sham?
A35682	For had this Prelate understood this affair, what could he have possibly dislik''d here?
A35682	For how many Books have been printed in English that have been levell''d directly against Religion itself?
A35682	For if a Lord is capable of committing extravagancies as well as another man, why should Mr Collier endeavour to perswade him that he is above it?
A35682	For what can Mr Collier conclude from hence, That the Spartans disapprovd of the Drama?
A35682	For what other sort of Poets flourish''d in those days?
A35682	For who are they who frequent them?
A35682	For, since persons of all degrees, from Monarch to Peasant, are daily brought upon the Stage, why should the Clergy be exempted?
A35682	Has Roscius defrauded his friend?
A35682	I would fain know whether a Poet may be allow''d to Dub his Dramatical Coxcombs?
A35682	Is it impertinence in a Poet to tell us, that we ought to restrain our anger, because the indulging it has often brought men into fatal calamities?
A35682	Is the Moral which the Poet draws from this Fable nonsense to us?
A35682	May he show a Fool a Knight Baronet, or a Knight Batchelour, or are they too included in Quality?
A35682	Must he be oblig''d to go no further than Squire, and must Fool and Squire continue to be terms synonimous?
A35682	Nor are we oblig''d to Mr Collier any more than the Peers are?
A35682	Now I appeal to the Reader, if this has so much as the least affinity with Mr Collier''s meaning?
A35682	Now I desire to know of Mr Collier whether he himself pays the last deference to those Councils or no?
A35682	Now can any thing in nature be more unreasonable than this?
A35682	Now could any man possibly talk thus, who had the least knowledge of the nature of Tragedy, and particularly of that Tragedy?
A35682	Now let me ask Mr Collier, whether it be lawful for Christians to read History?
A35682	Now what will the Reader say, when I make it appear that Tully never said any such thing?
A35682	Potest hoc homini huic haerere peccatum?
A35682	Roscius Socium fraudavit?
A35682	That Tacitus condemn''d the diversions of the Stage?
A35682	That is, did the Spirit of God dictate whatever they writ to em?
A35682	That they ought to be expell''d from the English Government?
A35682	The Moral or the Fable?
A35682	The Moral?
A35682	The next, whose Authority is produc''d, is Aristotle; produc''d?
A35682	Then why this pedantick scrowl of Authorities, to oppose the truth?
A35682	Was it the Fable then which offended him, or the manner of conveying the Instruction?
A35682	We have seen what the Poets were that flourish''d in those dismal times, let us now see what were the Orators?
A35682	Well, will he confess it?
A35682	What can they answer?
A35682	What proficients have we in Philosophy?
A35682	What will he say to this?
A35682	What?
A35682	Who among us are fam''d for History?
A35682	Who are they that approve of them?
A35682	Who are they that have not the least scruple about them?
A35682	Who commanded it?
A35682	Who have been they who have signaliz''d themselves in the other kinds of Poetry?
A35682	Why should it be more irrelig ● on in us to bring Devils on the Stage, that it was to bring Furies in him?
A35682	Why then did he affirm it in these very words in his Introduction to his Book?
A35682	Why then did they frequent the Theatre while they so journ''d at Athens?
A35682	Will he deny it?
A35682	for what?
A35682	or of what significancy is Human Authority against Human Reason?
A35682	or why should he hinder him from being reclaim''d?
A35682	what in History?
A35682	what in Mathematicks?
A35682	what in Mathematicks?
A35682	what in Philosophy?
A35682	who brings an Authority against going to Theatres, which is as direct against going to Church?
A35682	who were the cry''d up Preachers?
A35682	who were the inspir ● d, the celebrated men?
A33918	''T is this, Possis si forte accubantem tuum virum conspexeris, Cum coronae amplexum amicam si vide as cognoscere?
A33918	* And where is the harm of all this?
A33918	* Is the Decency and Complexion the same in both?
A33918	After he has disabled their Character, and thrown them out of Sence and Capacity?
A33918	And are Knowledge and Ignorance to be treated with the same Allowance?
A33918	And are not their Subjects to own them till they can make out their Title by Supernatural Evidence; by the Gift of Tongues, and raising the Dead?
A33918	And can any one imagine that Words so plain in the Expression, and so solemn in the Occasion, are void of Weight and Signification?
A33918	And can the Surveyor now find in his heart to compare the Prologues and Epilogues of Plautus with those of the Moderns?
A33918	And can we imagine a Person of S. Augustin''s Character, could mistake so mark''d and memorable a Sentence?
A33918	And does he not shew the Danger of such a Permission?
A33918	And does not the Priest Seal Covenants in God''s Name?
A33918	And does the Surveyor call in the Ladies to Vouch for him after this Usage?
A33918	And does this prove, that the Fable of the Moderns is preferable to the Antients?
A33918	And if these gross Entertainments would go down, why should they take check at the more inoffensive sallies of Gallantry?
A33918	And is not Lewdness oftentimes the Effect of Intemperance, especially in young People?
A33918	And is not all this a sign, that there was something untoward and unreputable in the performance?
A33918	And is not the ancient Stage much better than the Modern upon this account?
A33918	And is not this Humour incouraged by the Stage?
A33918	And is this nothing to the English Stage, where Love and Indecencies are most of the Entertainment?
A33918	And must Dignity and Merit be thus coarsly Treated?
A33918	And then, as for the Virtues, and noble Qualities, if they are sometimes heighten''d above Practice, where is the harm on ● t?
A33918	And where''s the Mistake of this rendring?
A33918	Are Luscious Expressions the Natural Effect of Deep Sorrow, and ca n''t she appear Tender, without being Rotten?
A33918	Are the Objects of Worship the same in both?
A33918	As for Seneca he stands barr''d: Why then is his Atheistical Chorus produced, and why in the Version of the Earl of Rochester?
A33918	But why is it no true Chorus?
A33918	But, what''s all this to the Controversy?
A33918	Ca n''t a Lawyer plead for his Client, without justifying his Practise, and answering for his Trade?
A33918	Ca n''t a scandalous Play be disliked without arraigning of Providence?
A33918	Did Augustus affect such a Character as this, or think his Memory would be obliged by it?
A33918	Did the Emperor enquire whether he had been a good Pantomime in his Life?
A33918	Discourse in the same Dialect?
A33918	Do n''t the Words of the Author, and the Consequence of the Practice, plainly justifie the Construction?
A33918	Do n''t their Characters of Figure quarrel in Comedy, and Murther in Tragedy?
A33918	Does he Represent a Priest in his Play?
A33918	Does he not Baptize by Commission, and Exercise part of that Power which our Saviour had upon Earth?
A33918	Does it not hold forth a Lesson of Justice and Moderation to great Men?
A33918	Does it not teach the proper use of Prosperity, and prepare us for the Turns of Adversity?
A33918	Does the Poet bait a Priest like the Relapse?
A33918	For Ajax was sunk in his Blasphemy, and had his Breath stop''d with a Thunderbolt: He is no Person of the Drama; But what then?
A33918	For Instance: The City built upon Seven Hills, and upon the Tyber, was by no means Rome in the time of Tarquinius Priscus; Why so?
A33918	For, What tho Tully''s Books De Republica, are lost, they were extant in the time of St. Augustine?
A33918	For, can we imagine the Fathers would ever have endur''d the Disorders of the Modern Stage?
A33918	For, what is all this, but a close Imitation of Life?
A33918	Had the Apostles then any of these Advantages above others?
A33918	Had they no concern for the Vertues of Peace, and the Securities of good Correspondence among themselves?
A33918	He that was so well acquainted with the Heathen Learning, and particularly with Tully, having publickly taught Rhetorick in his younger time?
A33918	Here the Surveyor would know, whence it appears that the Dramatick Exercises are here aimed at?
A33918	How can that be replies the Surveyor, since Horace draws Youth with the same Features and Complexion that those Comick Poets had done before?
A33918	How does that appear?
A33918	I beseech him, What does he think I argued against in the View, was it not against the Liberties of Tragedy and Comedy?
A33918	I grant it: But does not this Author commend the Persians for not suffering their Youth to hear any thing Amorous or Tawdry?
A33918	I hope he did not expect I should get a Certificate, or make Affidavit in proof of my Authorities?
A33918	I would gladly know, what Instance of Severity it could be to deny Admission to such Monsters as these?
A33918	If not, why is Nature thus disguis''d, and Quality mismark''d, and all to the Disadvantage of Sobriety?
A33918	If the Fathers are thus despicable, why does he sollicit for their Votes, and strive to bring them over to his Party?
A33918	In the First place then, why must not the Plutus pass for New Comedy?
A33918	Indeed, how can the Consequence of such Entertainments be otherwise?
A33918	Is it indeed an Argument of extraordinary Rigour not to allow the grossest Liberties, and which had often been marked and punished at Rome?
A33918	Is it not Honourable to do it, and Infamous to refuse it?
A33918	Is it not to be his Agent, and to Manage his Affairs by vertue of his Authority?
A33918	Is it worth one''s while to get Caution with the loss of Conscience?
A33918	Is not the Drama concern''d in such Representations as these?
A33918	Is the Bounty of God then confin''d to Privilege ● of Nature?
A33918	Is the Testimony miscited?
A33918	Is there no difference between Ladies and little Prostitutes?
A33918	Is there no difference between the Doctrines of Heathenism and Christianity?
A33918	Is this Father''s Credit so low, that he ca n''t be trusted for a Citation?
A33918	Is this all that''s due to the Memory of these Venerable Men?
A33918	May not Men be very much to blame, without being the worst of their Kind?
A33918	Must Dogs and Martyrs be coupled, and Patriarchs describ''d by Similitudes from the Kennel?
A33918	Must People go naked to secure their Modesty?
A33918	Must she needs Lament in Smut, and pay her Respects in Distraction?
A33918	Must they be proclaim''d from the Clouds, and Anointed by an Angel from Heaven?
A33918	Not in Pompey''s Theatre, the most Magnificent in Rome?
A33918	Now I would ask the Surveyor what he thinks of this Matter?
A33918	Now I would gladly know how it comes about, that Slaves are so much better bred than their Masters, and Mob than Persons of Quality?
A33918	Now Spain is as hot as Persia; Why then all this Partiality?
A33918	Now can we imagine that St. Augustine''s Conscience could digest such a Practice as this?
A33918	Now how could Imposition and foul Play lie hid under such a Punctuality?
A33918	Now if Comedy is jointly condemned with the other Shews of the Theatre, why does he endeavour to make the Fathers justifie or overlook it?
A33918	Now where''s the Contradiction of all this?
A33918	Now, I desire to know of the Surveyor, what it is to Represent another?
A33918	Now, if we are obliged to guard our Virtue, and avoid ill Discourse, Why not in the Play- house, as well as in other places?
A33918	Now, who would learn Civil Prudence and Management from such Instructions as these?
A33918	Oh, what a stippery thing is Humane Grandeur, which is never secure?
A33918	Or, Have his Pocket Pick''d only for the sake of Wit and Dexterity?
A33918	Or, Is Rampancy and Lewdness the Character of Breeding?
A33918	Or, Is he not at liberty to chuse what Officers he pleases?
A33918	Say you so, must Spain and Italy be reformed by Africk, and brought up to the Standard of the Line?
A33918	Say you so?
A33918	That''s true; he defended him in an Action of Debt: But what''s that to his Profession?
A33918	Then I suppose he spoke ill of him behind his Back?
A33918	This one would imagine were pretty home: What does the Surveyor say to it?
A33918	Was this Transition made for the Benefit of the Publick, or in Honour of the Deceas''d?
A33918	We must hear his Depositions in his Ajax Flagellifer, What then is to be done here?
A33918	Well: Her Father was kill''d,& c. But, what then?
A33918	Were Farces so much preferr''d to the Drama, and the Noblest Buildings contriv''d only for Drolls, and Strollers?
A33918	Were not Comedies and Tragedies Acted in the Theaters?
A33918	Were the Lacedemonians only for one good Quality?
A33918	Were the Mimi and Pantomimi less concerned with the Stage?
A33918	What do you make of Plautus''s Amphytrio, and Terence''s Eunuchus, of Euripides''s and Seneca''s Thyestes, not to mention any more?
A33918	What makes him argue on my side?
A33918	What needs all this rattling with Mimes, Pantomimes, and Drama, as if there was some Charm and Mystick Power in the Words?
A33918	What shall I say?
A33918	What then would the Man be at?
A33918	What then?
A33918	What would this Author be at?
A33918	What would you think St. Cyprian, St. Chrysostome, St. Augustine, and the rest of them were like?
A33918	What, by burlesking the Bible, by Smut and Swearing, and by hooting, as much as in them lies, all Religion out of the Universe?
A33918	What, in an Author so well known as Tully, in a Sentence so very remarkable, and in a Treatise written for the Satisfaction of the Heathens?
A33918	What, tho the Poem uses it expresly as such?
A33918	When this was done, what need was there of stuff ● ing the Margin with Greek and Latin?
A33918	Where then was the impropriety?
A33918	Whether he had acted like a finish''d Debauchee, and been Lewd without Shame or Measure?
A33918	Who told him, it was an improper Liberty?
A33918	Who would choose Bedlam for his Seat of Diversion: Or, see Posture Clark do his Tricks, and Act his Metamorphoses, with the Plague about him?
A33918	Who would imagine, but that so Wise a Government as the Spartans, had a good Reason for their dislike?
A33918	Why must the Poor Spaniard be maul''d for his Caution, and for preventing his Family from being hurried very precipitiously into Irregularities?
A33918	Why should I give my self a needless Fatigue, and trouble the English Reader with a foreign Language to no purpose?
A33918	Why should the Consideration of Gain blast their Character, forfeit their Right, and extinguish the Privileges they were born to?
A33918	Why so much pains to take off their Censure, and point the Satyr another way?
A33918	Why so?
A33918	Why then did he quit his Fortune and his Friends, throw up the Expectations of a Crown, and run rambling after a known Impossibility?
A33918	Why then should Mettals transmute backwards in the Play- house, and Money look so dull and scandalous in the Actors Pockets?
A33918	Would he who had wrote a whole Books against Falshood and Lying, be guilty of so notorious an Instance himself?
A33918	Would these Holy Men have allow''d them their Common Places of Smut, and their Sallies of Profaneness?
A33918	Would they have seen Lewdness a Profession, and Religion made sport with, and said nothing against it?
A33918	should Mankind address themselves to you?
A57291	* Then seeing it is so, how can any Christian indulge themselves in Passion, or Transports of Pleasure in any sublunary Thing?
A57291	And are these things fit for a Christian to be hold?
A57291	And can a Christian have a good Opinion of those Houses, where so many have lost their Vertue?
A57291	And if they can not conquer it, how can they be acquitted from the Charge of Adultery?
A57291	And is this to walk after the Spirit?
A57291	David was wounded, and are you like to escape?
A57291	Did Christ come down from Heaven and Die, and Spill his Blood for you, that you might securely Indulge your carnal Genius?
A57291	He who preach''d up the Doctrine of the Cross, could he have any liking to to that which is directly contrary to that Doctrine?
A57291	How dare they that are commanded to work out their Salvation with fear and Trembling, delight in such Wantonness, Jollity and Revelling?
A57291	How wou''d you like a Lover, who shou''d speak, And kiss, and sigh and compliment in Greek?
A57291	If he should throw Dung into a Vessel of Gold wher ● your Precious Ointments are kept, would you not Cudgel him for it?
A57291	If they that walk after the Flesh can not please God, how can you hope to please him, while you allow yourself in this Work of the Flesh?
A57291	Imposture Answers at first, with disdain and contempt of this Rant; — and then says, — I hide my self?
A57291	In his thirty eighth Homily on Matthew, He answers the Question: What then shall we shut up the Playhouse?
A57291	Is not this tempting young People, to those Extravagancies they should detest?
A57291	Is not this the way to make her enamour''d with the World; from which a Christian is to run away, as much as he can?
A57291	Is not this to clog your Soul& throw Impediments in her way to Felicity?
A57291	Is the Stage likely to produce vigorous Apprehensions of Gods Grace and Favour; you know it damps and obscures them?
A57291	Is this Decency to afford your presence in a Place, where the most debauched Perso ● s assemble them ● elves, for ill Ends and Purposes?
A57291	Is this Sobriety to stand by and hear Men Curse and Swear, and talk of things which should not be so much as named, among Christians?
A57291	Is this redeeming of your time, to throw away so many Hours upon Fooling, and seeing Men ● ridiculous Postures, Gestures and Behaviours?
A57291	Is this that Godly Simplicity?
A57291	Is this the way to grow in Grace, and to advance in Goodness, and to abound more and more in the Love of God, which your Christianity obliges you to?
A57291	Now who can say but these were Reasons becoming a Martyr?
A57291	Of Nebuchad ● nezzer, who ● or his Pride was turn''d a grazing with the Beasts of the Field?

A57291	Poys''ning and Stabbing you have seen me''scape And ▪ what you think no mighty thing, a Rape: But can poor Poet scape — — What shall he do?
A57291	Pray what is there in them preferable to our Religion?
A57291	Shall we ask the very Heathens themselves, Whether it be lawful for Christians to frequent Stage- plays?
A57291	T ● ou wilt say, shall we then pull down the Playhouses?
A57291	The same Authors says elsewhere, What is the Playhouse?
A57291	What hath befallen thee ● And how art thou depriv''d of Honour?
A57291	What hope then is there of such a Man?
A57291	What is it but hardning other Men in their Sins?
A57291	What is it that Young- men and Virgins may not be tempted to do?

A57291	Whether the greatest Lovers of Romances and Plays he the greatest Lovers of the Book of God, and of a holy Life?
A57291	Whether they could spend that time no better?

A57291	Why do you love Vanity in Stage- Plays, and seek after Leasing in Stage- Players?
A57291	Will he think earnestly of God there, where there is nothing at all of God to be heard?
A57291	With what face dare you approach the Table of your Lord, who have been a Spectator of such Shews but a little before?
A57291	Would any Man that looks upon the Jolly assembly in a Play- house, think that these are Disciples of the Crucified God?
A57291	and does it look any thing like deference to that Apostolical command of praying without ceasing?
A57291	and why may not they who distinguish themselves from others by such like performances, hope some time or other to bear him company in the Calendar?
A57291	he that had so much Grace was struck through, and dost thou deny that thou are wounded?
A57291	he was overcome, and can I trust to your Strength?
A57291	is this a sight agreeable to the Strait- Way, and the Narrow Gate which leads to Life?
A57291	of Bracton or Fortescue?

A57291	that thou dost follow Stage- Plays after Baptism?
A57291	when they see those things acted without a Blush, and willingly beheld by all sorts of People?
A57291	will he remember the Exhortations of the Prophets, amidst the Exclamations of the Tragedians?
A57291	will he think upon Psalms in the middlle of Effeminate Songs?
A57291	will ● e thoroughly learn Chastity who admires the Stage- Players?
A57291	— Can he be of a Compassionate Nature, who delights in the baiting of Bears?
A57291	— How can such Persons pray every day, Lead us not into Temptation, when they themselves wilfully rush into the very Mouth of it?
A57291	— If a Servant should put his Nas ● y and Lousy Apparel, amongst his Masters Rich and Costly Robes, would you bear with it patiently?

A33903	And if so, why should his Treatment be more Course?
A33903	And is it no Disservice to be thus executed in Effigie, and made a Mad man by Representation?
A33903	And is not this horrible Stuff?

A33903	Are these things beneath our Passions, and not worth the contending for?

A33903	But these Poets were Satyrists, and play''d their Invectives upon Quality, and is not this somewhat to the purpose?
A33903	But though she has not Wit, she ought to have Humour?
A33903	But what Person of probity would visit them for their Propriety, or take Poyson because''t is true in its kind?
A33903	But what of all this?
A33903	But what''s this to the Stage?
A33903	But why should the Man laugh at the Mischief of the Boy, why should he publish the Disorders of his Nonage?
A33903	But why should this Gentleman put this hardship upon People, which he does not allow of himself?
A33903	Ca n''t a Plant be known without the History of the Garden?
A33903	Can any thing be plainer than this?
A33903	Could you be content to go to Heaven?
A33903	Couldst thou be content to Marry Araminta?
A33903	Did these Authors write either Comedy or Tragedy, or have their Citations any Reference to the Drama?
A33903	Do they so?
A33903	Does Custom justifie a Fault?
A33903	Does a Man who argues against Conscience, and talks like an Athe ● st, never speak his Mind?
A33903	Does every Libertine wear a Livery, or is Lewdness a forfeiture of Condition?
A33903	Does he not do it in Earnest?
A33903	Does it not lye in his Commission and Credentials, in the Advantage and Significancy of his Character?
A33903	Does not Christianity refine the Pleasures, and abridge the Liberties of Heathenism?
A33903	Does not the Varnish hide the Coarseness underneath, and the Pill go down the better for the Guilding?
A33903	Does the Church give the Play- House this Permission?
A33903	Does the main Concern use to die so long before the Epilogue, and the Cheif Person go off when about a Third of the Play is remaining?
A33903	Does this Gentleman mean that there''s no such thing as Superiority amongst Christians?
A33903	Foppington Droll upon the Prayers, upon Sundays, and Sermons?
A33903	For if Iehu is unmention''d in the Poetick Text, how can the Lady be explain''d by his Standing in the Margin?
A33903	For if a Gentleman was made less, and degraded by going into Orders, would it not be a kind of Punishment?
A33903	For if the Passage be truly cited, if the Sentence be full, and determin''d, why may n''t we understand it where''ere''t is met with?
A33903	For pray what is it to burlesque a grave Author?
A33903	For who that look''d on this Account as deliver''d by the Holy Ghost would treat it thus disrespectfully?
A33903	From hence he argues, that if Kings may be exposed on the Stage; Why not Priests?
A33903	From whence are all our Sects, Schisms, and innumerable Subdivisions in Religion?
A33903	Has Application so transforming a Quality, and does bare use enter so far into the Nature of Things?
A33903	Has he not provided him a Plot, a Fortune, and a creditable Figure?
A33903	Has not a Chaplain the same Commission and Business with another Clergyman?
A33903	Has the Drolling on the Priests Blessing, upon the Power of the Keys, and the Institution of our Saviour, no Allusion to Religion?
A33903	Have they a Patent of Jurisdiction over the Clergy?
A33903	Have they not the same Necessities for this World, and the same Conscience and Discretion to use it?
A33903	He asks, who told me Ieremy Fetch was bred at the Vniversity?
A33903	He makes up the Bill, and away he goes to the Lady, where upon the Question, how the Physick was to be taken?
A33903	He says Lady Froth calls the Coachman our Jehu, and why might he not have that as well as any Iewish or Christian Name?
A33903	He wonders after all, why I should use so much Vehemence?
A33903	How does the Vindicator excuse himself here?
A33903	However, does not this Confession prove the Truth of my Remarks, and that Loveless was a Character of inferiour Consideration?
A33903	I desire therefore to know upon what Party the Abuse must stick?
A33903	I say Mr. Congreve thinks them too much, why else does he engage to use them with such Caution, to muzzle, and bind them up to their good Behaviour?
A33903	I suppose Mr. Congreve''s Conscience may be large enough for any Reader, why then does he require any more?
A33903	I would gladly know in what Circumstance the Dignity of an Ambassador consists?
A33903	I would gladly know what over- straining of Ceremony, What Flatery is there in all this?
A33903	If Mr. Congreve was displeas''d with the Profaneness in his Double Dealer, why did he not expunge it in his Old Batchelour?
A33903	If Riches and Power are things desirable, why should not the Clergy come in with the rest; If they are not, why are they grudged them?
A33903	If Riches are so invincibly dangerous, why don''t the Christian Laity part with them, and like Crates, throw their Gold into the Sea?
A33903	If a Libertine pleads in his own Defence, why must he not be suppos''d to be in earnest?
A33903	If a Man applies his Money to an ill Purpose, does this transmute the Metal, and make it none of the Kings Coin?
A33903	If there''s no Distinction in the Office, why should there be any in the Usage?
A33903	If''t is infamous in a Peasant,''t is more so in a Person of Figure?
A33903	Is Liberty then always fasten''d to a Chain; and Familiarity a proof of Servitude?
A33903	Is Sin Improv''d into Privelege?
A33903	Is Sporting in Scripture- phrase, so foreign to that Subject?
A33903	Is he check''t then by the Ladies, or expos''d upon the Account?
A33903	Is he sorry his Indecencies are conceal''d, and grown proud of his Misbehaviour?
A33903	Is it Innocence then to be guilty of things too bad to be nam''d?
A33903	Is it an excuse to follow an ill Example, and continue an Atheistical practice?
A33903	Is it not the Honour of the Representation, and the Weight of the Business?
A33903	Is it not to wrest his Meaning, and alter his Matter; to turn him into Jest and Levity, and put him under Circumstances of Contempt?
A33903	Is it to please, or to improve the Audience?
A33903	Is not an Apostle''s Testimony more cogent than that of a Philosopher, and the New Testament above all the Rules of Aristotle and Horace?
A33903	Is not this plainly to confound the Order and the Miscarriage, to go off from the Man to the Priest, and render them both ridiculous?
A33903	Is not to play the Knave, and to play the part of a Knave the same thing?
A33903	Is subordination destroyed by Baptism?
A33903	Is the Honour of God, the Interest of Religion, and the Welfare of Humane Society so very insignificant?
A33903	Is the Ridiculous R ● sor no disadvantage to the Story?
A33903	Mr. Congreve agrees with Pineda at least in a jesting way, Solomon was wise, but how?
A33903	Mr. Congreve replies, What if his Name were Mr. Prig, or what if it were not?
A33903	Not at all: Why then are they alledg''d?
A33903	Not in applying the solemn Engagements of Baptism to a ridiculous Subject, not in Burlesquing the Church Catechism?
A33903	Now what Consequence is there from Permission to Remonstrance, and from Pleasure to Aversion?
A33903	Now who can miscarry under such Instruction as This?
A33903	Now why does the Vindicator deny his own Words, and affirm the Woman is not liken''d to a Text in general; or any other way?
A33903	One Man speaks Blasphemy,& another reproves him; does this justifie the Boldness, or make the Words unspoken?
A33903	Or was it because she had a mind to convince Osmin of the strength of her Affection by murthering him?
A33903	Say you so?
A33903	Should break through Custom, and metamorphose Desire at so short a warning?
A33903	St. Thomas answers our Blessed Saviour, Lord we know now not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?
A33903	That he stands for a fine Gentleman, is evident from his Sense, his Breeding, and his Figure?
A33903	That the Bench and the Bear- Garden, Punchinello and the 2 Houses, had the same Alphabet in Common?
A33903	The Credit of Affectation is strangely transporting, who would not take pains to be counted a Hypocrite?
A33903	The Iews used to rend their Cloaths at the hearing of Blasphemy, and is it now become the Entertainment of Christians?
A33903	The Short View,& c. takes notice that Shakespear, though to blame, was a Genteeler Enemy than the Relapser; Why so?
A33903	The Vindicator insists, That Constant says nothing to justifie the life he leads, except,& c. What needs he?
A33903	Then as for Camilla, why is she Thrown into the black List, and ranged with Alecto and the Harpyes?
A33903	This Project would save a great deal of Money?
A33903	To enlarge on them a little: And here I desire to know what Service does Blasphemy, and Profaneness upon the Stage?
A33903	To give them little Behaviour, and contemptuous Usage; To make them Fools, and then treat them as such?
A33903	To what End is a foreign Character and Business haled in to determine upon the Stage?
A33903	To what purpose then are all these Formalities of the Cour ●; All this Expence in Solemnity and Retinue?
A33903	Valentine enquires, Who''s that, that''s out of his Way?
A33903	Vehemence against what?
A33903	Very likely?
A33903	Was it because she was prevented, and had not the satisfaction of dispatching her Spark her self?
A33903	Was it then to shew how willing she was to dye with him?
A33903	Was it worth Osmin''s while to be thus Crazy, and are all Lovers to take a Pattern from this Hero?
A33903	Was their Charter enlarg''d; and were they on the same Foot of Freedom with the Slaves in the Saturnalia?
A33903	Well,( says Worthy) my inc ● mparable Berinthia, how shall I requite you?
A33903	Were the Heathen Priests then so absolutely unexceptionable?
A33903	Were there no Prevarications amongst them?
A33903	What Decrees of the Gods does she despise?
A33903	What Woman would not be in Love with it upon this Description?
A33903	What does the Vindicator mean by all this good Husbandry?
A33903	What if the Profession soars somewhat higher than formerly, I hope''t is not grown creditable?
A33903	What is the Stage to be read Backwards, and construed by Contradiction?
A33903	What makes such a Person treated with greater Regard, than a Factor, or private Agent?
A33903	What means he by insisting so much upon Precedent?
A33903	What slippery Stuff are Men Composed of?
A33903	When they talk Smut must we understand them in a Sense of Modesty; and take all their Profaneness for Pious Expression?
A33903	Where''s the Gratitude, or even the Justice of acting otherwise?
A33903	Who that believed himself akin to Adam would use his Memory thus Coursely, Ridicule his Folly upon the Stage, and make a jest of his Misfortunes?
A33903	Why han''t we some of Plautus''s and Terence''s Discipline upon''t?
A33903	Why is the Poet''s Fine Gentleman put upon this Drudgery?
A33903	Why may n''t the Woman be a little Witty if she was Born so, especially when she is to divert the Company?
A33903	Why must the Charge be given in Furs and Scarlet, when the Law will operate every jot as well in Leat ● ● ●?
A33903	Why must the Profession be dressed up, and the Folly keep all within the Function?
A33903	Why must the Satyr be pointed at the Coat, and run out into Reference and Distinction?
A33903	Why must we read a Page for a Period?
A33903	Why not?
A33903	Why should she be hal''d in, against her Inclination, and gaz''d on like a Malefactor?
A33903	Why then does he find fault with this Reservedness?
A33903	Why then is it not Lash''d and Stigmatiz''d?
A33903	and can a Man Swear by Common- Law?
A33903	and did they never Live out of their Character?
A33903	and make them his own by an after Approbation?

A29842	And i ● not this still worse, and worse?
A29842	And if an Historian may law ● ● lly write it, may not we as lawfully ● ● d it?

A29842	And is not this man now the very mad man of Athens?
A29842	And is not this man still the mad man of Athens?

A29842	And not to stand piling up of Authours; what thinks he of one, that may be Instar multorum, the Emperour, and Philosopher, Marcus Aurelius?
A29842	And seeing Heathen men might have, and oftentimes had in great eminency Moral Virtues, to what may we impute it more, then to their seeing of Plays?
A29842	And what caution were in this, to offer lascivious speeches, where all mens Ears; or lascivious acts, where all mens Eyes are continually upon them?
A29842	And what great wonder is this; if in so many hundred years, in so many thousand places, some few such accidents have sometimes happened?
A29842	And what is he the nearer now for condemning of Plays?
A29842	And what scurrility was ever heard to come from the mouths of the best Actours of our Time ● Allen, and Bourbidge?
A29842	And what will the man say now to Heathen Writers?

A29842	And will he say, that this also was no Hypocrisie?
A29842	And will not even Nature her self, by this Reason, be found guilty of immodesty?
A29842	And yet who knows not of things invented by God, which, for their abuse, have been rejected?
A29842	And yet, this is not all; for is not his Book full of severe Censurings?

A29842	For what greater Idleness, then to sit all day, transcribing of Authours; which is but Actum Agere?
A29842	For what is this to our Plays?
A29842	For who ever took the Pomps of the Devil to be meant of Plays, and not rather of Pride, Vain- glory, Luxury, Idolatry especially, and such like?

A29842	He cites his seventh Epistle, and there indeed he speaks of Spectacula; but what?
A29842	He ● ells us of Play- houses, both publick, and private; some suddenly fallen down, some burnt up with fire, without any apparent cause preceding?
A29842	How many Questions of Aristotle''s Problemes?
A29842	If all things must be cast away, that may be, and oftentimes are abused, why doth not this man pull out his Eyes with Democritus?
A29842	If then Angels might be such Hypocrites, and yet not sin; why may not Players be such Hypocrites, yet come to be as Angels?
A29842	If then he can not for very shame condemn Poets, how can he with any face condemn Players?
A29842	Is it not a proper Argument to say; Choerilus makes naughty Verses: Therefore there must no more Verses be made?
A29842	Is it not said, that some Zeal is not good, if it be without Knowledg?
A29842	Is it nothing for a private man, to take upon him to be Censor morum, in matters both Civil, and Ecclesiastical?
A29842	Is it nothing to obtrude his own mistakings for truths; and that to the scandal of the whole nation?

A29842	May we not, first, flatly deny it, and say, that in Plays no such scurrility can be found?
A29842	Next ● ear St. Cyprian, Quod spectaculum sine Ido ● o?
A29842	No doubt, the Engines are strong; but doth he not miss- take the Mark?

A29842	Thus Montaigne: and where is the man''s challenge now, as though there were none, that either did, or durst oppose him?
A29842	Thus the excellent Sidney: and what more could he have said, if he would have sought to flatter Plays?
A29842	Thus writes Marcus Aurelius: and what could he have spoken in so few words to a greater praise of Plays?
A29842	To speak then, prou ● 〈 ◊ 〉 buccam venerit, as matters come to hand: Is there in Plays such Scurrility, and Obscenity, as he pretends?
A29842	Was it Hypocrisie in the Thre ● Angels, that appeared to Abraham?

A29842	Who ever sought for Pearls in Dirt; or for a Crystal Spring in filthy Mire?
A29842	Who spend more mony, and time in one day at Tennis; then these Spectatours do in many weeks at Plays?
A29842	Why more done in fiction, the ● in reality?
A29842	Why more seen seldom ● then seen continually?
A29842	Why more used in Iests, the ● used in earnest?
A29842	Will he say, that Tragedi be not Histriones; Actours of Tragedies no Players?
A29842	Will he therefore say, they were Iudgments of God against the use of Churches, and Chappels?
A29842	Will he therefore say, they were Judgments of God, against the use of Preaching, and Praying?
A29842	Would any man think he were in earnest?
A29842	Would any man think he were well in his Wits, to alledge these places as spoken against Plays?

A29842	Yet will any man, that hath Reason, affirm Logick to be unlawful?
A29842	You will say, This is not to answer, but to trifle; and hath not Solomon advised us, Answer not a fool in his folly, lest thou be like unto him?
A29842	and how can that be an occasion of Drunkenness, which neither ministers Example, nor Means of Drinking?
A29842	and may we not as truly say; that some Hypocrisie is no evil, if it be without Deceit?

A10187	And is this a laudable, as many; a b triviall, veniall, harmelesse thing, as most repute it?

A10187	And then what r good, what profit will all the Stage- playes you have penned, seene, or acted, doe you?
A10187	And therefore where is our Christianity?
A10187	And were not these ranke Puritans thinke ye?
A10187	And were the primitive Church and Christians, the Fathers, or Bishops who were present at these Councels, Puritans?
A10187	And what did these two two qualities( which we now so much admire) worke in this curious, wel- educated Roman Dame?
A10187	And what else doe I lament, but that thou thinkest an honest and pure life belongs onely to them?
A10187	And what else is it but to fall into destruction, to foregoe the beginning of life?
A10187	And what followes?
A10187	And what madnesse could ever be found greater then this?

A10187	And why is this, but because there is no man who will take revenge on those who transgresse the Precepts of the Lord?
