A55926But what follows from this?
A55926But what if this which you call my main Position, be no Position at all of mine?
A55926But what is it, I beseech you, that the Church of Rome has openly made its advantage of?
A55926But what is that to the business?
A55926But what is that to your Question?
A55926But what then?
A55926But where, I beseech you, do I affirm, that therefore the Magistrate may make use of it?
A55926But where, I beseech you, do I say that Dissenters from the true Religion, are not to be punish''d for their Religion?)
A55926But where, I beseech you, do I say, that it is the People''s best course to vest a Power in the Magistrate to choose for them?
A55926But why not, if their Spiritual and Eternal Interests may be promoted by Political Government, as I think I have shewn they may?
A55926But will any man say Because a Preacher, or Preaching is always necessary, therefore nothing else ● an ever be so?
A55926Can no man be Judge of that, unless he have Authority to be Judge of Truth for other men, or to prescribe to them what they shall believe?
A55926Can not this be the onely End, unless it be the onely Cause also of their Punishment?
A55926For can not I enquire, whence the Magistrate receives his Power; without suppo ● ing it his, before he receives it?
A55926For if my Church be in the right; and my Religion be the true; why may I not all along suppose it to be so?
A55926For what Rule is there that expresses the Particulars which agree with it?
A55926For what does any man mean by sufficient Evidence, but such as will certainly win assent, where- ever it is duly consider''d?
A55926For what?
A55926For what?
A55926Give me leave therefore to ask, How it does it?
A55926How, Sir?
A55926How, Sir?
A55926If it will not; as it is evident it will not; to what purpose is this said?
A55926Is it not plain that the Author means they are so, as used to bring men to believe any Articles of Faith, or to approve any Forms of Worship?
A55926Is it not, that that other may judge for himself, of what he is required to consider?
A55926Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it?
A55926Is there any manner of Consequence in this?
A55926Is there any thing in my Assertion like this Mistake of Dives?
A55926Is this Supposition equally unavoidable; and equally just in other Countries, where false Religions are the National Religion?
A55926Lastly you demand, What if there be other Means?
A55926No, Sir?
A55926Not whatever my Church, or Religion be?
A55926Now in what respect, I beseech you, are Penalties here affirm''d to be absolutely impertinent?
A55926Now what exception do you make to this?
A55926Now( a little to examine that Proposition;) Why, I beseech you, does any one punish another to make him consider?
A55926Shall we do evil that good may come of it?
A55926St. Paul demands here, How shall men hear without a Preacher?
A55926That therefore the Magistrate may make use of it?
A55926Very good, Sir: And what then?
A55926What do you conclude from thence?
A55926What pretense can any man have to affirm this?
A55926What?
A55926Whether the Magist ● ate has any Right to use Force, to bring men to the true Religion?
A55926Will it follow from hence, that the Magistrate has no Right to use any Force at all, for the bringing men to the true Religion?
A55926Will it follow from thence, that no good can be done by Penalties upon others, who are not so far gone in Wickedness and Obstinacy?
A55926Would you have him punish all, indifferently?
A55926You proceed: For what then are they to be punish''d?
A55926or, That the Christian Magistrate had no Authority to make any such Laws for the preserving and promoting it?
A55926such Falshood as will destroy them?
A55926that the Magistrate is like to be more concern''d for other men''s Souls, than themselves,& c.) What then will be got by the change?
A55926them that obey the Law, as well as them that do not?
A63817''T is sottish Ignorance that makes some say, What hurt can these external things or Food, Communication,& c. do unto us?
A63817Adam called his First- born Cain: Why did not he call him Abel?
A63817And after what fashion, I pray, do these Hero''s live?
A63817And do not almost the double Number of People sicken and die in this season?
A63817And do not the Sheep in cold Climates afford abundance of strong Wool?
A63817And do we not help to Till the most stubborn Earth, that it may bring forth the Corn and Fruit for your sustenance?
A63817And do we not make excellent Drink of Apples, more proper for our Bodies, and more suitable to our Nature than any of the Spanish Wines?
A63817And does not the Pallate and Stomach grow weary and sick, if confi ● ● ● to such Foods?
A63817And he said, I know not; Am I my Brother''s Keeper?
A63817And how ready are such men to give the Lord Thanks and humble Acknowledgments for his Mercies?
A63817And if this will do so, what will Feathers do, that in the Boot of Nature are unclean fulsom Excrements, of a hot strong Quality?
A63817And if we that are their Favourites endure such Hardships from them, what can other Creatures expect?
A63817And is it not so in our days?
A63817And is not the flesh of all sorts of Fowls in hot weather lean and poor, altho they have more plenty of Food than in Winter?
A63817And so on the contrary, for those in hot Countries to cloath themselves with our strong thick Woolen Cloth and Furs?
A63817And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is thy Brother?
A63817And then what Curiosity in Sawces?
A63817And was not Saul called Paul after his Conversion?
A63817And we that are Oxen, do they not in our Youth cruelly cut us, and deprive us of the benefit of Generation?
A63817And what a base Report we shall give occasion to be raised of us?
A63817And who shall pity him?
A63817And will not Fleas breed from the very Dust of Chambers where people lie?
A63817And yet still men are so foolish and so vain, as to vaunt of their Great Birth, and their Noble Blood: Can any thing be mote extravagantly ridiculous?
A63817Any that have better and sharper Appetites than they?
A63817Are not Lice, that troublesome Vermin, bred from the breathings of the Body, for want of often change both of Linnen and Woollen?
A63817Are not all Insects and Vermin generated in shady dull places?
A63817Are not all the sorts of Food that are of our own Growth more suitable and friendly to our Natures, than those that come from other Countries?
A63817Are not most or all these Evils the effect of undue Marriages, Uncleannesses, and Intemperances?
A63817Are not the Saturnal and Martial Strings and Notes as material and useful as the Iovial and Venereal?
A63817Are not the pure natural Operations of each thing destroyed and adulterated, where various things are thus mixed together of different Natures?
A63817Are not these fine Fellows to call themselves Christians and Right Worshipfuls?
A63817Are not those Millions of Men and Women scattered over the Face of the whole Earth, descended from this one Man?
A63817Are not we the Work of the great Creator''s Hand?
A63817Are there any who are generally more Robust?
A63817Are they not cur own?
A63817Are we not compounded of the seven- fold Nature as well as he?
A63817Are we not the Sons of the Stars and Elements, even as Man himself?
A63817Are we not then all own Couzens?
A63817As how, I pray?
A63817Besides, I pray tell me, Hath the Noble any more Privileges by Nature''s Charter than others?
A63817But on the contrary, was not the sober, clean and abstemious Livers of the Rechabites well- pleasing to the Lord?
A63817But pray tell me how long you have led this kind of Life; and whether your Sons and Daughters do follow your Religion and Example?
A63817Can any thing be more absurd, than to turn Earth into a kind of Hell, under pretence of driving men to Heaven?
A63817Can any understand, or read another Man''s Book, that can not read one word in his own?
A63817Consider how unpleasing it would be to most People, to behold the dead Carkasses of Beasts cut into pieces, and mangled, and all over bloody?
A63817Cows, Sheep, Horses, and many others in plentiful healthy state, without the help of Foreign Vegetatives?
A63817Do not all or most of our English Herbs when burned, send forth a far better Scent or Fume than Tobacco does?
A63817Do not all the Beasts of the Field observe their Times and Seasons?
A63817Do not our innocent Cries, and dying Groans under your merciless hands, penetrate the very Heavens, and awaken even the centre of Wrath?
A63817Do not the Creatures in cold Countries produce them?
A63817Do not the melodious Harmonies and charming Airs of Musick delight the Pliantasie, and chear the Soul of a poor Man, as much as a KING?
A63817Do not we draw their burthensome Carriages through the deepest Dirt, and stubborn Clay?
A63817Do not your own Prophets teach you to Honour Rulers and Governours, because they derive their Government from God?
A63817Do such dealings look like Man in his first state?
A63817Do they not all proceed from within?
A63817Do they not gall our Necks almost to the Bones, with their hard and heavy Yoaks?
A63817Do we ever read of any of the Prophets or Patriarchs, in the first Ages of the World, that they were Sick?
A63817Do your Priests allow of such doings?
A63817Does not the Excellency of Vocal and Instrumental Harmony consist in a proper Measure of Time?
A63817Dost thou in any kind imitate thy Sovereign, from whom thou dost derive thy Title?
A63817Doth not our daily Experience shew us, that all Curd of Milk is hard of Concoction, and burthensome to the Stomach?
A63817For what, I pray?
A63817For would any man willingly eat of Meat that is once boyled or roasted, and let be cold, and afterwards boyled or roasted again?
A63817From whence come your brave thick Furs?
A63817Has he any more Senses than his Neighbours?
A63817Has he as many Palates as he has Palaces?
A63817Hath not the Lord also endued this one Man''s Off- spring with equal Parts, Senses, and Members, as to the Elements of their Bodies?
A63817Have I not an Estate?
A63817Have not I enough to keep me without taking any Pains or Care for any thing?
A63817Have not you heard of the Inroad made( at this instant) by the Turks into Germany?
A63817Have we not a great multitude of excellent Herbs and Roots, which make good wholsom Food?
A63817Have we not just Reason to complain of such cruel Usage, seeing we are the Delight and Pleasure of most Men, and the Companions of Princes?
A63817Heat, Cold, Hunger, Thirst, Diseases, and even Death it self, as much, and as frequently, and as certainly as the Poor?
A63817How much precious time do Men spend in smoaking Tobacco, dosing and stupifying their Senses?
A63817How offensive are the Places where Flesh is killed and sold?
A63817How quickly also will the dead Carkasses putrefie and stink, defiling the Elements, both Earth and Air?
A63817How rude, cruel, fierce, and violent are most of those who are employed therein?
A63817How shall they but Bestial grow, That thus to feed on Beasts are willing?
A63817How strangely will they talk?
A63817If all People should live on Fruits, Herbs, and the like what should we do with the Beasts, and what would become of them?
A63817If all People should live on Herbs,& c. what should we do with the Beasts?
A63817If his Intentions are good and candid, what need of such fawning Addresses?
A63817If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?
A63817If you do not believe them, why do you call your selves Christians?
A63817In another place, the Lord saith, Is there any Evil in the City,( that is, in Man,) and am not I the Lord in the midst of it?
A63817Is it not by the invisible Spirit, and wonderful Power of our Creator, that we live, and move, and have our Being?
A63817Is not he good, and bountiful, and merciful to all the Works of his Hands, and the Preserver of the whole Creation?
A63817Is not his Sight as clear, and as perfect to behold the amazing Wonders of God''s Creation?
A63817Is not the Air of all Houses gross, fulsome and humid, if you compare it with the common Air abroad?
A63817Is there any Element wanting in us; and do not we contain the true Nature and Property of them all?
A63817Is there any comparison to be made between an Herb- Market, and a Flesh- Market?
A63817Labour with less Prejudice?
A63817May we not do what we will with them?
A63817Moses answers, Shall we kill our Flocks and Herds, or where shall we have Flesh to feed this Multitude?
A63817Nought satiate the wild variety Of thy rude Paunch, unless another dye?
A63817Now on such a tottering Foundation, what Structure of safety can be expected to be built?
A63817Now tell us seriously, Can there be any thing more ungrateful, cruel, and tyrannical?
A63817Now would you have us stand with our Arms across, and suffer them to over- run all Christendom?
A63817Of all which Earth our bounteous Mother gives, Can nothing please, except thy Teeth in Blood And Wounds, and Stygian Fury be imbrew''d?
A63817Of most of the Miseries and Troubles man ensuares himself, is not Superfluity a main cause?
A63817Or mix such Flesh with raw, and so prepare them together?
A63817Or what the Ox, a Creature without Guile, Inur''d to Patience, and continual Toil?
A63817Or who would accept of a Crown, upon condition that his Head should thenceforth perpetually Ake?
A63817Or why should they a long Life know, Who daily practise KILLING?
A63817Our Pedigree the same, and equally ancient?
A63817Pray consider, is it likely the Holy God would communicate the Mysteries of Nature to such Idolaters?
A63817Pray where is the Medicine that will cure the French Disease, if the Person infected goes on in his old way of Wantonness?
A63817Shall we not see a Turk afflict himself for having tasted a drop of Wine?
A63817Suppose a Man were to seek for Fat Men and Women, would he go into Country Villages, and poor small Towns, among Plough- men and Shepherds?
A63817The first Question they ask, is, Has she store of Money?
A63817There are but Seven Metals, and yet how many Wonders are wrought by and out of them?
A63817This is further manifested by Mens Words and Works; doth not every word carry the Power of its Principle whence it had its birth?
A63817This the Disciples did not understand; and therefore ask''d Jesus, What it did mean?
A63817Was not this a noble Expression of Zeal for Religion?

A63817What man in the World would believe the attractive Inclination which the Loadstone has upon Iron, if it did not appear to his sight?
A63817Whence springs so dire an Appetite in Man To interdicted Food?
A63817Which of you, that prefer the use of Syrups so much, if you were to have your Drink sweetned when you are in health, would chuse Syrups to do it with?
A63817Why should one bemoan not having half a score Dishes, when one will serve him not only as well, but better?
A63817Why, Do you your selves believe and practice these Absurdities?
A63817Would not every one condemn a Man, if he should wear a Shirt a year, and lye in one pair of Sheets seven years?
A63817and a Papist be mightily troubled for having eaten a Mouthful of Flesh on a Friday?
A63817and darest thou take upon thee to a Destroyer, a Killer, and daily Practiser of Cruelty?
A63817and to commit Murthers and Cruelties for the sake of the God of Life and Love?
A63817and were not they made for that very purpose?
A63817and whence is it, but through the great store of Humidity and gross Vapours, which such places do contract?
A63817between the Conception and Birth: And is there not a certain Time and Season for the Sowing of all Grains and Seeds?
A63817can Or dare you feed on Flesh?

A63817or what doth more ravishingly declare the Greatness, Goodness, and eternal Wisdom of the immense Creator?
A63817to complain of thy Injustice?
A63817what an Huckstering there is kept now- a- days with them both?
A63817what have they which they have not received?
A47927A Limited Toleration must Exclude Some; and why not You, as well as Another?
A47927ANd why by Them, if by Any, I beseech ye?
A47927Again, we are perpetually Alarm''d with Plotts, ye see; Now what better means then a Toleration, to draw the Conspirators into a Body?
A47927And I beseech ye( if a body may ask) what mighty business hinder''d ye?
A47927And I will not deny neither, but there are Good people in the mixture; shall All therefore be Indulg''d for the Honesty of some?
A47927And can you Imagine that so many restless Humours, and disturb''d Consciences, will ever be Quiet without it?
A47927And do not You your self believe it Better to Obey God then Man?
A47927And is not That Every Mans Case as well as Yours?
A47927And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism?
A47927And now to hold you to the Question[ By Whom was the War in Scotland begun?]

A47927And what shall become of him that Preaches it, I beseech ye?
A47927And what was This Cause, I beseech ye, but the Foulest Conspiracy that ever appear''d under that Masque?
A47927And what''s a King without his People?
A47927And which are Those I beseech ye?
A47927And with Your Pardon too, How shall the Magistrate know whether your Conscience is opprest, or no, if he be no Judge of it?
A47927And yet''t was That you Leagu''d and Covenanted to make your Pattern; but where do you Expect to Mend your Self, under That Form of Government?
A47927And, I beseech ye, what is that which you Call Authority?
A47927Answer me Soberly, What if a State should grant a Toleration, for all men to talk of God- Almighty as they please?
A47927Are not These Sons of Zeal worthy of Encouragement, think ye?
A47927Are not the Non- Conformists Numerous?
A47927Are not the People ready to Tumult for want of it?
A47927Are not you Convinc''d, that the most likely way in the world to stir up Subjects against their Prince, is to Proclaim the Iniquity of his Laws?
A47927Are not you as well, Now, without any Toleration at all; as you will be Then without the Benefit of it?
A47927Are they more Naked and Supportless, Now, than they were before the Long Parliament?
A47927Are they one jot the Quieter for''t?
A47927Are they ready to Tumult?
A47927As for the Purpose, What is''t ye stick at?
A47927Ask him now, Where the Danger lies?
A47927At Whose Door Lies the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR?
A47927At whose Door Lyes the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR?
A47927Because God spares the Offender, shall Man therefore Tolerate the Offence?
A47927Begin with your Clergy; would you have Them Indulg''d?
A47927Betwixt the very Basis of Christianity, and the Superstructure?
A47927But I beseech ye, Whether do You take to be the Greater Number?
A47927But are not Some Opinions more Tolerable then Others?
A47927But do ye say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince?
A47927But is it not Pity,( considering our Duty is Obedience, and not Wisedom) that a Good man should be punished for not being a Wise Man?
A47927But may not a Prince tye himself up in a Thing Otherwise Indifferent?
A47927But tell me, I beseech ye, would you have no Toleration at all?
A47927But the Question is First, Was the World ever without a Government, since the Creation of Man?
A47927But to come to the short of the Question; This is it: Whether will you rather have, One fallible Iudge; or, a Million of Damnable Heresies?
A47927But to go with the Moderate: Would you have All mens Consciences Govern''d by the same Rule, when''t is Impossible to bring them All to the same Mind?
A47927But to the Point in hand; You Apply to the Parliament, and your Grievance is Matter of Conscience; Do ye make the Civil Power a Judge of Conscience?
A47927But what can justifie the very Constitution of a Persecuting Law?
A47927But what do ye mean by those Matters of Religion?
A47927But what if I should Ask you now, Who were the Prime Conductors in That Enterprize?
A47927But what if I should Long as much now to know what''t is that makes you so Inquisitive?
A47927But what if the Subject shall accompt that Imposition Grievous which the Magistrate thinks Necessary?
A47927But what is That Power which you call Nature?
A47927But what is''t you call a Parliament?
A47927But what''s the World to Mee, in the scale against my Soul?
A47927But when the Death is Certain, and the Virtue Doubtfull, who shall decide the Question?
A47927But where are our old Eli''s now, to sit watching and Trembling for fear of the Ark?
A47927But where have you been in Earnest?
A47927But where''s the Mischief of That Sermon I beseech ye?
A47927But where''s your Brother- Scruple?
A47927But who shall be Iudg of That?
A47927But who shall be Judg of what''s Indifferent?
A47927But why do I stand Fencing in a Case, where all that''s good for ought, even in the Favour''d Party, runs nigh an equal Perill?
A47927But why do ye say, Persecuted?
A47927But why should a Toleration do worse Here than in Holland?
A47927But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be Ascrib''d only to Instinct in Brutes, and to Reason in Man?
A47927But will not People be much more Peaceable, when they are Oblig''d, than when they are Persecuted?
A47927But would you have That Probability, Govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions?
A47927But, What do ye think, when the Making of One Law is the Transgression of Another?
A47927But, prethee why was he Clapt up?
A47927By whom I beseech ye was the Rebellion in Ireland begun?
A47927By whom I beseech ye, was He Persecuted, Divested of All his Regalities, Assaulted, Immur''d, Depos''d, and Murder''d, but By Your Party, Gentlemen?
A47927Can not Liberty of Conscience then consist with Civil Obedience?
A47927Can there be any sin without Consent?
A47927Can you either name Those Opinions, which you would have Indulg''d; or can you Expect a Toleration for all Opinions at a venture?
A47927Can you imagine, that any Condition in the Delinquent can operate upon the Force, and Equity of the Law?
A47927Can you remember the steps of the last Warr, and be of that Opinion?
A47927Can you say This, and not blush to Deny the Force of your own Argument?
A47927Can you your self Acquit him?
A47927Come leave your Lashing, and tell me Soberly; What hurt do you find in''t?
A47927Consider again; If there be any Hazard, wherein does it consist?
A47927David was Pronounc''d a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murther and Adultery?
A47927Did Wee sell him?
A47927Did not the Presbyterians Vote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a Treaty?
A47927Did ye do Well, or Ill in''t?
A47927Do not You find your self Foul now upon the Old Rock of Universal Toleration again?
A47927Do not you take Mr. — for a very sober well- weigh''d Person?
A47927Do not you take the Persecuting Party to be generally in the Wrong?
A47927Do so, What is''t?
A47927Do ye Remember what he Says concerning his Promises from Breda?
A47927Do ye Wonder at it?
A47927Do ye mean, that it must be expressly mark''d out, and commanded There; or will it serve the Turn, if it be only not Prohibited?
A47927Do ye put no Difference betwixt Points Fundamentally Necessary, and but Accidentally so?
A47927Do ye think such a Toleration as This, either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant?
A47927Do you believe, That it should ever have gone so far, if we Two could have Hinder''d it?
A47927Do''s not the Act for Uniformity Debar us of it?
A47927Does it follow that they have no Power, because they do not Exercise it?
A47927Does not God command, that the Tares should be let alone till the Harvest?
A47927Does not That Opinion destroy Christian Liberty?
A47927Find it say ye?
A47927For put Case, The King should Grant ye a Limited Toleration; would That Quiet ye?
A47927For the Punishment of Evil- Doers, is the one half of the Magistrates Commission: and what''s an Evil- Doer, but the Transgressour of a Law?
A47927Fourthly, The Enemies of God Blaspheme, and are ready to say, Where is your God?
A47927From whom do ye Expect it?
A47927Go to Scruple; If That be not the scope of your Monstrous Earnestness for a Toleration, pray''e tell me what is?
A47927Go to, speak Truth, What made You and your Ladies so early abroad this Morning?
A47927Have you forgot your self so soon?
A47927Have you read the Kings late Declaration of December 26?
A47927Have you well consider''d what will be the Fruit of Granting that Liberty?
A47927How Inconsistent then is the Liberty of the Pulpit, with the Safety of the Government?
A47927How comes it now that You Two, that can never Agree betwixt your selves, should yet Joyn in a Petition against Us?
A47927How comes it now, that we that Agree so well i''the End, should Differ so much''i th''Way to''t?
A47927How do They know when Christ was Born, or Crucify''d?
A47927How do you know but you may Persecute God Himself, in a Right Conscience?
A47927How far are his Lawes binding upon his Subjects?
A47927How long do you believe that Government would stand, where the Multitude should take notice that their Rulers are afraid of them?
A47927How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry?
A47927How shall the Magistrate Distinguish, whom he should Punish, and whom Not?
A47927How will you Reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case?
A47927How will you divide your Duty?
A47927I sent ye his Sermon last night, have ye overlookt it?
A47927I suppose, I shall not need to tell ye the Event of it; But of which side were the Tender Consciences, For the King, or Against Him?
A47927I will not Deny, but Ill things have been done: Shall All therefore be Condemn''d, for the Faults of Some?
A47927I would you''d deal frankly with me: What is( really) your Opinion of the Honesty of your Party?
A47927If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the the Fairest Probability Content you?
A47927If he bee, How comes Your Conscience to take Place of His Authority?
A47927If he chance to be slain:''T is but an f Accident; and who can help it?
A47927If it be demanded in what capacity the King may be Resisted?
A47927If such People as These may be Tolerated, where''s your ▪ Foundation of Faith, Good Life, and Government?
A47927If ye Disclaim it, why do ye Petition to your Inferiour?
A47927If you had put the Contrary Question, Y''had Pos''d me: Are not the Non- Conformists the Kings Subjects?
A47927If you say, The Non- conformists; then They are not Honest enough to be Trusted;( would you have the King Gratifie the Murtherers of his Father?)
A47927In good time; and what''s the Scope of your Petition?
A47927Is any honest man the better for the Last War?
A47927Is he at Liberty then?
A47927Is it Reason think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and hunt for Meat when hee''s Hungry?
A47927Is it not well then, to be Sure of the One, and in so fair Hopes of the Other?
A47927Is it the Model, or the Uniformity that troubles you?
A47927Is not God to be found in a Parlour, as well as in a Steeple- House?
A47927Is not That Crime enough?
A47927Is not That Sermon think ye that you sent me last Night a pretty Squib to cast into a populous ▪ Town, that''s Preach''d half to Gunpowder already?
A47927Is not This to Charge the Church of England with Apostacy?
A47927Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too?
A47927Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge?
A47927Is this your Eight a clock?
A47927Is''t not so?
A47927Liberty of Conscience?
A47927Look back to the beginning of the Late Warr, and tell me; Do not you believe that there are more Non- Conformists Now, then there were Then?
A47927Marqu''d for Destruction?
A47927May not every thing Imaginable appear Non- Indifferent to some or other; if nothing can be commanded, but what upon such a Phansy may be Disobey''d?
A47927May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not so to Another?
A47927Nay, Certainly the Popular Form was first, for How could there be a King without a People?
A47927Not at all; Your Actions indeed are Limited, but your Thoughts are Free; What do''s This or That Garment, or Gesture Concern the Conscience?
A47927Now place the Power where ye please; Do ye own the Kings Authority, or do ye Disclaim it?
A47927Now tell me, What Right have You to be Judges in your own Case, any more then They in Theirs?
A47927Now the Question is not, Whether Imputed or not, but whether a Sin or no?
A47927One man may have a Reall Scruple; and All the Rest, Pretend one; Who shall Distinguish?
A47927Or do ye accompt the Sanction of any One Form Whatsoever, to be Lawfull?
A47927Or that we owe them less After Misgovernment, than we did Before?
A47927Or why should not All be Tolerated as well as Any?
A47927Or will ye call it Choyce, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone?
A47927Pray''e let mee ask you One Question: Who Brought in This King?
A47927Pray''e where have You your Intelligence?
A47927Prethee is''t a Secret?
A47927Put case we were, what Then?
A47927Ruine of Liberty?
A47927Scruple, What say You to This?
A47927Secondly, Whether was first in the World, One Man, or More?
A47927Shall the King therefore Dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals?
A47927Shall the Magistrate make me Act against my Conscience?
A47927Shall the People be left to do what they List, because a great many of them, would do what they should not?
A47927Shall the Subject make Him Tolerate against His?
A47927Shall the Vice or Error of the Person, blemish the faultless Dignity of the Order?
A47927Shall we stand to his Award what ever it be?
A47927So that the Issue lies within This Compass; Whether the Soveraignty be in the King, or in the People?
A47927Soft and fair, I beseech ye; what is''t you undertake to do?
A47927Suppose the Determination to be manifest Errour, or Injustice; would you have the same Submission pay''d to''t, as if it were Equity, and Truth?
A47927Take a- away the Sanction, and what signifies the Law?
A47927The Ark of God is( at this instant) in Danger of being lost, D''ye see?
A47927The Loss of the Ark?
A47927The Question in hand is This; Whether the Nonconformists be not an Intelligent, as: well as a Numerous and Wealthy Party?
A47927The Question is, Upon Whom the Guilt of the Kings Bloud lyes?
A47927The Truth is, I am not yet Resolv''d to Burn for This Opinion; but what do ye think of a Limited, or Partial Toleration?
A47927Their Opinions,& c. — For to Tolerate, No body knowes Whom, or What, would be a little with the Largest, I think; would it not?
A47927Those that singly wish to be Discharg''d from the Act of Uniformity; or Those that would have no Law at all?
A47927To give you a fresh Instance; What could be more Pious, Gracious, or Obliging, then his Majesties Late Declaration, in Favour of the Non- conformists?
A47927Truth, or Authority?
A47927Very Good, and what do ye think as to Matter of Conscience?
A47927WHat ha''s your Party( Gentlemen) Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule, should be Granted in Your Favour?
A47927WHat''s your Opinion of the Necessity of a Iudge?
A47927Was Peters a Presbyterian?
A47927We have it now from the same Hand, that the Ark is in Danger, and what''s that but The Good Old Cause over again, only a little vary''d in the Dress?
A47927Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands?
A47927Well, and How do ye find it?
A47927Well, but supposing these unhappy Clashings among Themselves, how does that prove them in Confoederacy against the Publique?
A47927Well, but what''s This to Us, or Our Opinions?
A47927Were''t not a Thousand Pitties now, to refuse This Tender Sort of Christians a Toleration?
A47927What Act so Horrid, that has not past for a Divine Impulse; and( if it Hit) the Author of it for an Inspired Instrument of Iustice?
A47927What Design could They have in That?
A47927What Mortal can pretend to take it from ye?
A47927What Prerogative have You above Your Fellows?
A47927What Reason of State can You now produce that may Move his Majesty to Grant the Non- Conformists a Toleration?
A47927What Sort of Ruine do ye mean?
A47927What are their Names?
A47927What could the Wit of Man add more to This Temptation to Apostacy?
A47927What do ye think of Poland then?
A47927What do ye think of Preston- Fight?
A47927What do ye think of Rutherford?
A47927What follows upon''t?
A47927What if a Single Person hitts That Truth which a General Council Misses?
A47927What if it yields?
A47927What is This but a meer Trifling of Government, to suppose a Law without an Obligation?
A47927What is This, but to bring Authority to the Barr, and set the Subject upon the Bench?
A47927What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdomes, but the Contrary?
A47927What is it that either Invites Tyranny, or Upholds it, but the Opinion of an Unaccomptable- Sovereignty?
A47927What is it, but in plain Terms, to sollicit the Multitude to a Tumult?
A47927What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate?
A47927What not in Case of Errour?
A47927What swarms of Heresies have Over- spread This Land, since the Bible has been deliver''d up to the Interpretation of Private Spirits?
A47927What was it but That which was given to Quiet the Faction that enabled them to take All the Rest?
A47927What was it, but the Operation of That Poyson in the People, which was Instill''d into them by their Ministers?
A47927What will you forfeit if I shew you Hundreds?
A47927What will your Lives, or Estates avail ye, without the Gospel?
A47927What''s David''s Case to Ours?
A47927What''s Indifference to Christianity?
A47927What''s to be done in This Case?
A47927What''s your Conceit for That?
A47927What''s your Opinion( Gentlemen) of the Warr Rais''d in — 41. was it a Rebellion, or no?
A47927What''s your Quarrel to''t?
A47927Whence was the Original of Power, and what Form of Government was First, Regal, or Popular?
A47927Where are our Moses''s, Our Elijah''s?
A47927Where do they Dwell?
A47927Where do ye find that Kings Reign upon Condition of Ruling Righteously?
A47927Where is it Not rather; to any man that will but look about him, without winking?
A47927Where''s the Equity of it as to Those that are Excluded?
A47927Whether do you believe Scandal to be any more Tolerable, than Schism?
A47927Whether of the Two shall Over- rule?
A47927Which will you have him follow?
A47927Who lays to Heart, Who Regards what shall become of Religion?
A47927Who shall define, Which are Fundamentals, and which not?
A47927Who shall pretend to Iudge of my Conscience, beside God, and my self?
A47927Why do ye Charge those Exorbitancies upon the whole Party, that were the Crimes only of some Particular and Ambitious Men?
A47927Why should not every Man be Govern''d by his Own Conscience, as well in Consort, as in Solitude?
A47927Why then no more is Conscience; for if you exclude Pagans, upon what Accompt is''t?
A47927Will Toleration suit All Judgments any better then Uniformity?
A47927Will a Toleration of This Latitude content ye?
A47927Will ye have it Generall?
A47927Will ye have the Truth on''t?
A47927Will ye make the Parliament then, and the Synod, Confederate with the Rabble?
A47927Will ye now see the Correspondence betwixt these Gentlemens Words, and their Actions?
A47927Will yee see then what they did afterward when they were at Liberty to do what they Listed?
A47927Will you Divide your Matter then, and Assign to every Judicable Point, his Proper Judge?
A47927Will you pretend to enter into Mens Thoughts?
A47927Would ye have a particular Indulgence?
A47927Would ye have it Granted in favour of the Conscience that Desires it, or in Allowance of the Tolerated Opinion?
A47927Would you ha''me open my Door to a Troop of Thieves, because two or three of my honest Friends are in the Company?
A47927Would you have a Law made that shall comply with All Consciences?
A47927Y''Intend to Petition the Parliament; Do ye not?
A47927You Love the Bishops too I hope, Do ye not?
A47927You forget that you Condemn your own Practice; for why may not I Charge Personal Extravagancies upon your Party, as well as You do it upon Ours?
A47927You have great Reason sure, and''t is no more than every man may challenge: That is, to Stand, or Fall, to his own Conscience: Is That your Principle?
A47927You have speculated here some Airy Inconveniences; but where''s the Real hazard of receding from that Inexorable strictness?
A47927You should rather have Asked, What can justifie the Toleration of a Troublesome People?
A47927Your Party desires a Toleration, is''t not so?
A47927[ And what follow''d?]
A47927[ The Presbyterians Spoyl''d Him as a King, before Others Executed Him as a Private Man][ Have they not Hunted and Persu''d Him with Sword, and Fire?
A47927[ f] Made Scotland one Common- wealth with England,& c. Have they now kept any better Touch with the Liberty and Property of the Subject?
A47927and how far Reason of State may prevail for the Toleration of a sort of people in so many Respects considerable?
A47927and what am I the better for That Enquiry, if when I have Learn''d my Duty, I am debar''d the Liberty to Practise it?
A47927but what if you''ll understand That to be Schism, which I know to be Conscience?
A47927narrowly look''d into, what are they but meere Phansie, Artifice, or Delusion?
A47927or Estate?
A47927or That Liberty Conscientious which the Magistrate believes Unlawful?
A47927or any Consent without Knowledge?
A47927or any Knowledge in a Case of Invincible Ignorance?
A47927or rather, Was there any thing of Conscience in the Case?
A47927or why should the King favour his Competitours?
A47927or, Will ye have it, that our Duty to God ceases, in the Act of becoming Subjects to a Civil Magistrate?
A47927shall we wrangle Eternally?
A47927to tell them( in Effect) that They''ll be Damn''d, if they Obey; and( in a word) to make the Rabble Judges of their Governours?
A47927was That a Iuggle too?
A47927when the Glory is Gone, who would Desire to Live?
A47927— What is the Glory of England; What is the Glory of Christianity but the Gospel?
A47928( For what is Government, but the Wisedom, Resolve, and Force of every Particular, gather''d into One Under standing, Will, and Body?)
A47928( and all little enough to keep our Families from starving) any more then such, and such; that lie wallowing in Ease, Abundance, Luxury, and Riot?
A47928( to make the Fairest of it) What Effect do you expect these Discourses may have upon the People?
A47928( which is the Bond both of Religion, and Society) What can be more Scandalous, then that which renders Religion, Ridiculous?
A47928( with their Lives, and Estates, over and above, in the Act of Oblivion) And are they one jote the Quieter for all This?
A47928A Discountenancer of Godly Ministers?
A47928A Limited Toleration must Exclude Some, and why not You, as well as Another?
A47928A Promise- Breaker to the Church; and a Perverter of the Laws; Insomuch that No man could be assured of his Lands, and Life?
A47928And Finally, to Engage the Name of God, and the Credit of Religion in the Quarrel?
A47928And Inexpedient?
A47928And What Humane Authority can warrant any One to put in Practice, an Unlawful, Or Suspected Action?
A47928And Why may it not be Minded of Subjects, and spoken of, without any Hint, or Thought of ● … ebellion?
A47928And are not the Classical Presbyterians as much for a Lawful Liberty, as the Congregationals?
A47928And are not the Independents as much against these Fooleries as the Presbyterians?
A47928And do you believe that the Two Houses would have used the King any better, if he had gone to Them?
A47928And does not your Party love This King, as well as they did the Last?
A47928And his Majesty refusing to comply with them,( at the Iustance of the Spanish Merchants) Did they not proceed to Censure the Merchants?
A47928And how was all this effected?
A47928And in another place, Ergone( Inquies) nihil Ceremoniarum rudioribus dabitur, ad juvandam Eorum Imperitiam?
A47928And that they have ever been so?
A47928And the Business comes Immediately to This Issue; Whether the King, or the People, shall Determine, in what concerns the Good of the Community?
A47928And to be in This Bondage too unto the Meanest, and most Insolent of your Fellows?
A47928And upon Information, that He intended one, Was not a narrower Watch set over him?
A47928And what Form of Government was First; Regal, or Popular?
A47928And what am I the better for That Enquiry, if when I have Learn''d my Duty, I am debarr''d the Liberty to Practise it?
A47928And what amends is it, when the Government is laid again in Dust, and Desolation, to cry, You were Overseen?
A47928And what will the People say in the Matter, but either that the Government thinks them in the Right, or else that''t is affraid of them?
A47928And whence flows all this Mischief, and Confusion, but from a License of Wandring from the Rule?
A47928And where was your Spirit of Toleration, and Forbearance, I beseech you, in New- England?
A47928And who shall Determine what Laws and Constitutions are agreeable to God''s Word?
A47928And will it not be every Man''s business, to Advance the Credit, and Authority of his own Party?
A47928Another Exception may be This: How shall we distinguish betwixt Faction, and Conscience?
A47928Apprehensions of his Life, from Iesuits, Both Protestant, and Papist?
A47928Are They agreed upon any Model of Accommodation?
A47928Are They come to any Resolution upon Articles?
A47928Are You for the Presbyterians?
A47928Are not your Determinations as pere ● … ptory; and your Orders as Imperious?
A47928Are they General; or Particular?
A47928Are they all of a Mind?
A47928Are your Consciences FOR Toleration Now, that were so much AGAINST it Then?
A47928As how, I beseech ye?
A47928As not doing her Duty to the Subjects; and as a vehement Mainteiner of Superstition, and Idolatry?
A47928Because God spares the Offender, shall Man therefore tolerate the Offence?
A47928Beside; What Security can any Man give, that he shall continue in the Right Exercise of his Reason?
A47928Betwixt Points Fundamental and Non- Fundamental?
A47928Betwixt the very Basis of Christianity, and the Superstructure?
A47928But Suppose it Conscience; Are the Dissenters ever to be Reconciled?
A47928But after all This; What are these People, for Number, and Resolution, that make such a Clutter?
A47928But as to the matter of Conscience; Did you Well, or Ill in''t?
A47928But can you shew me, that an Uniformity of Service, and Rituals is any where forbidden?
A47928But can you tell me What was the Ground of the Quarrel?
A47928But does it therefore follow, that ALL things Lawful to be done, are comprehended in the Scripture?
A47928But the Q ● … estion is; First: Was the World ever without a Government, since the Creation of M ● … n?
A47928But to go with the Moderate: Would you have all Mens Consciences Gobern''d by the same Rule?
A47928But to the Business: What would you say, if his Majesty now in being, had Queen Elizabeth''s Game to Play?
A47928But what have I more to do, then to pass Sentence upon you, out of your own Mouths?
A47928But what if a Man should allow the Non- Conformists to be as valuable as you represent them?
A47928But what if he should prove Refractary, and dispute yo ● … r Authority?
A47928But what is the Sober Part the Worse for these Extravagants?
A47928But what is your Opinion of the Honesty of the Party?
A47928But what makes you couple the Crown, and the Mitre still?
A47928But what will become of That Exception, when I shall tell you, that those People are no more Independent, then the Presbyterians?
A47928But why not Kneeling, as well as either Sitting, or Standing?
A47928But why should a man expect to scape for WORDS, where THOUGHT it self is Censurable?
A47928But will you hear the Kirk speak for it self, after the putting of the King into English Hands?
A47928But would you have him Unaccomptable, or no?
A47928C. And What is it in the Subsciption( I beseech you) that you stumble at?
A47928C. And because This is possible, is the Odds therefore upon One against a Thousand?
A47928C. And is not That every Man''s Case, as well as yours?
A47928C. And were it not a greater Pitty, do ye think, for a State to keep no Check upon Crafty Knaves, for fear of disobliging some Well- meaning Fools?
A47928C. And what will This avail You, if it appears otherwise to the Governours Themselves?
A47928C. Are You In ● … endent then?
A47928C. Are they only NEEDLESS, INEXPEDIENT, and FIT to be Abolish''d then?
A47928C. But What if the Dissenters shall call that Sound Doctrine, which the Church defines Heresie?
A47928C. But is it not a strange thing( my Good Friend) for so many Men to be Mad at a Time; and to be Mad the Same Way too?
A47928C. But what will this amount to?
A47928C. Can you imagine that any Condition in the Delinquent can operate upon the Force and Equity of the Law?
A47928C. Can you shew me that Kneeling at the Lord''s Supper has been forbidden, where Kneeling at other parts of Publique Worship has been Allow''d?
A47928C. Do not you know, that Toleration is as good, as an Issue in a Government?
A47928C. FITLY, will be well indeed; But( with your Favour) what is the meaning of FITLY?
A47928C. How can you say This, and consider what you say, without blushing?
A47928C. How comes it now, that we, that accord so well in the End, should differ so much in the Way to''t?
A47928C. How do you mean?
A47928C. Is it Reason, think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and Hunt for Meat, when he is Hungry?
A47928C. Is it not rather your Misfortune, to write after the foulest Copies?
A47928C. Is it the Model, or the Uniformity you stick at?
A47928C. Keep to That, and Answer me once again; Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too?
A47928C. Of Which Side were the Tender Consciences?
A47928C. Or rather, Is not he madder that doubts it?
A47928C. Pray''e say: Was it ever better, since Non- Conformists came into the World?
A47928C. THe Non- Conformists are the Party that desire a Toleration; Pray let me ask ye, What are their Opinions?
A47928C. WHat are your Exceptions to Our Way of Worship?
A47928C. WHat has your Party Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule should be Granted in your Favour?
A47928C. WHat is it that you call Hard Measure, and Persecution?
A47928C. Was not Queen Elizabeth told of Thousands, and Hundreds of Thousands, that sighed for the Holy Discipline?
A47928C. What Do you think of the Anabaptists, Brownists, Quakers,& c?
A47928C. What Hinders then, but we may try it that way too?
A47928C. What do ye think then of your National Covenant?
A47928C. What do you mean by Fundamentals?
A47928C. What is all This now, but an Universal Toleration, in a Disguise?
A47928C. What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdoms, so much as the Contrary?
A47928C. Why may not the Church impose a Stinted Form upon the Minister, as well as the Minister,( if he so pleases) upon the People?
A47928C. Why should not We Two shake Hands now, and Join in the Act for Uniformity?
A47928C. Why will you Practise that Cruelty your selves then, which you condemn in others?
A47928C. Will Toleration suite All Iudgments, any better then Uniformity?
A47928C. Will it not then follow, that a Man may worship the Sun, or the Moon, and yet be true to God, if That Worship be according to his Conscience?
A47928C. Will ye see then what they did afterward, when they were at Liberty to do what they listed?
A47928C. Without Dispute, Some Opinions and Principles are more allowable then Others: But where lieth the Right of Allowing, or Rejrcting?
A47928C. Would you have a Law that shall Comply with all Consciences?
A47928C: So was the Son before the Father, you may say, for How could there be a Father without a Son?
A47928Can not the Church put an End to Strife among Brethren, as well as the Civil Magistrate?
A47928Can you say that the English, or Scottish Preshyters did ever go about to Dissolve Monarchy?
A47928Can you shew me that any Non- Conforming Roman Catholicks are Tolerated There?
A47928DOEST THOU Believe?
A47928David was pronounced a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murder and Adultery?
A47928Deposed, upon the Encouragement, and with the Approbation of Willock, Knox, and their Fellows?
A47928Did not the Kirk Excommunicate the whole Multitude for a Robin- Hood?
A47928Did they not by their Proper Authority Discharge the Munday- Market in Edinburgh?
A47928Do They know What They would be At?
A47928Do you not find our Meetings Thronged, and many of your Churches Empty?
A47928Do you pretend to know their Hearts then?
A47928Do you put no Difference betwixt Truth and Errour?
A47928Does it follow, because Religion may be made a Cloak for a Rebellion, That, therefore, It is never to be Pleaded for a Reformation?
A47928Does not our Saviour foretell us of False Christs, and False Prophets, that shall arise and deceive many; yea, if it were possible, the very Elect?
A47928Does not this hold as well for Us, as it did for You?
A47928Fifthly, What are they for Number, and Resolution?
A47928Finally, What have they to say for all This, But that This is One Man''s Judgment, That Another''s?
A47928First, What kind of People they are; Secondly, What It is They would have; Thirdly, What will the Kingdom be the better for Granting their Desires?
A47928For With what face can I destre a Courtesse from Him, to whom I do onenly prosess, 〈 ◊ 〉 would deny the same Courtesse?
A47928For the King; Or Against Him?
A47928For what are they the worse, for a Penalty, that is never Executed?
A47928For what is the Difference betwixt WEDDED, and MARRIED, but that the One wears the Stamp of the Law- Makers, and the Other, of the Law- Menders?
A47928Fourthly, What are their Grievances, as the Case stands with them at present?
A47928From That Prince, to whose Blessed Father( in the Depth of his Agonies) you cruelly deny''d the Use, and Service of his own Chaplains?
A47928From this miserable Perplexity of Mind, what can be expected, but Despair, and Confusion?
A47928Further; If it was to the Prejudice of our Cloathing Trade,( This Separation) Who can help it?
A47928Has not your General Assembly, rather the Face of a Council of State, then of a Counsel of the Church?
A47928Here''s Your Character: Now to Your D ● … mands, What is it You would have?
A47928How can it chuse but bring the Simple a Thousand Times to their Wit ● … End?
A47928How can you say This?
A47928How could That be; when the Two Houses, by Purging, and Modelling, were Subjected Absolutely to the Devotion of the Army?
A47928How far, I beseech you, are Humane Laws Binding?
A47928How many Plots have they had upon this Kingdom, since his Majesties Return?
A47928How many have they driven to leave the Ministry, and live by Physique?
A47928How shall Authority Distinguish of Which Number You your selves are; so long as You remain under this Concealment?
A47928How shall I behave my self, I pray''e, if the King command one thing, and God another?
A47928How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry?
A47928How shall we agree upon the Dos?
A47928How was it with Trade, when Conscience took the full Swinge?
A47928How was the Covenant entertein''d?
A47928How was the Protestant Interest( I beseech you) United in the late Dissolution of Government; When Every Man did that which was Right in his own Eyes?
A47928How went Trading on, when all Business was neglected, but Gallopping up and down to Lectures, to hear News, and Sedition?
A47928How will you divide your Duty?
A47928How will you reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case?
A47928However, what''s your Quarrel to it?
A47928If He be, How comes your Conscience to take place of his Authority?
A47928If He chance to be Slain,''T is but an Accident; and who can help it?
A47928If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the fairest Probability content you?
A47928If They were Tolerated Themselves, Would They Tolerate One Another?
A47928If he will needs thrust Himself upon the Hazard, when he needs not, Whose Fault is That?
A47928If so, tell me I beseech you, Why may not We take the same Freedom with the Non- Conformists, that You do with the Papists?
A47928In fine, Betwixt such Principles as affect Order and Publique Agreement, and others that flow Naturally into Loosness and Confusion?
A47928In the first Place; What is the Judgment of the Reformed Churches abroad, touching the English Episcopacy?
A47928Is it not now evident, that they are the worse for good usage?
A47928Is it not well then, to be sure of the One, and in so fair a Likelihood of the Other?
A47928Is it th ● … Imposition it self, or the Thing Imposed, that displeases you?
A47928Is not This at one Blow to destroy the Order of all Relations, Political, Natural, and Moral?
A47928Is not This, Streining at a Gnat, and swallowing a Camel?
A47928Is not this a Dethroning of Majesty, to set Princes, and Peasants upon the same Level in point of Subjection to their Resolutions and Decrees?
A47928Knewstubb indeed boggled a little, and desired to know, How far an Ordinance of the Church was Binding, without Offence to CHRISTIAN LIBERTY?
A47928Let me but understand now, Upon what Subject shall that Power be Exercis''d; If you exclude Things Indifferent?
A47928N C. Where should we look for the Foundation of our Faith, but in the New- Testament of Jesus Christ?
A47928N. C, And what are you the better, If I should grant it; unless we could All come to an Agreement, about what is Indifferent, and what not?
A47928N. C. According to what Latitude are we to understand that which you call the Foundation of FAITH?
A47928N. C. And I beseech you, What is That, which you call AUTHORITY?
A47928N. C. And do not you your self believe it better to Obey God, then Man?
A47928N. C. And does not This way of Arguing as much endanger Authority, as the Other?
A47928N. C. And have they, I beseech you, their Set Forms?
A47928N. C. And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism?
A47928N. C. And what do you think of the Secluded Members?
A47928N. C. And why not Scandal, and Profaneness too?
A47928N. C. Are Heresies to be Extirpated, and Truth to be Propagated by the Sword, or by the Word?
A47928N. C. Are you for Punishing Inconformity with Death then?
A47928N. C. But I should rather think the Popular Form was First: For how could there be a King, without a People?
A47928N. C. But are not Some Opinions more tolerable then Others?
A47928N. C. But do you believe any Man so mad, as to take these Extravagances for Impulses of Conscience?
A47928N. C. But do you say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince?
A47928N. C. But does not One Man see that sometimes, which a Thousand may miss?
A47928N. C. But is it not More, To Tolerate a Forreign R ● … ligion, then to Indulge your own?
A47928N. C. But may not a Prince tye himself up, in a thing otherwise Indifferent?
A47928N. C. But what Colour will there be for any further Exception?
A47928N. C. But what is That Power all this while, which you call NATURE?
A47928N. C. But what''s the World to Me, in the Scale against my Soul?
A47928N. C. But when the Death is certain, and the Virtue doubtful, Who shall decide the Point?
A47928N. C. But where''s the Danger of Receding from that Inexorable Strictness?
A47928N. C. But who shall be Iudge of what''s Indifferent?
A47928N. C. But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be ascribed only to Instinct, in Brutes, and to Reason, in Man?
A47928N. C. But would you have that Probability govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions?
A47928N. C. Can there be any Sin without Assent; or any Assent without Knowledge; or any Knowledge in a Case of Invincible Ignorance?
A47928N. C. Did not the Presbyterians Uote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a ● … reaty?
A47928N. C. Does not that Opinion destroy Christian Liberty?
A47928N. C. Have you so soon forgot your self?
A47928N. C. How do you know, but you may persecute God, in the Conscience of a True Believer, as St. Paul did, before his Conversion?
A47928N. C. How far are his Laws Binding upon his Subjects?
A47928N. C. If the Magistrate has any Power over the Consciences of his People, How came he by it?
A47928N. C. Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge?
A47928N. C. May not We charge Personal Extravagancies upon your Party, as well as You do upon Ours?
A47928N. C. May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not to Another?
A47928N. C. No Man can call Iesus the Christ, but by the Holy Ghost: Will you punish any Man for not having the Holy Ghost?
A47928N. C. Pray''e let me ask You One Question now: Who brought in this King?
A47928N. C. Tell me, I beseech you; Do not you believe that there are more N ● … n- Conformists now, then there were at the beginning of the Late War?
A47928N. C. The Non- Conformists are the King''s Subjects; and What''s a King without his People?
A47928N. C. WHy may not a Toleration do as well here, as in France?
A47928N. C. What End could they have in That?
A47928N. C. What are those Indisputable Rights, I beseech ye?
A47928N. C. What can be of greater Concernment to Governours; then to Discern, and Consider the State of their People, as it is indeed?
A47928N. C. What do ye think of Poland then?
A47928N. C. What greater Encouragement is there in the World, to Tyranny, then the Opinion of an Unaccomptable Sovereignty?
A47928N. C. What if a Single Person hit that Truth, which a General Council misses?
A47928N. C. What if it be?
A47928N. C. What is David''s Case to ours?
A47928N. C. What is all This to the Non- Conformists?
A47928N. C. What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate?
A47928N. C. What not in Case of Errour?
A47928N. C. Whence was the Original of Power?
A47928N. C. Who sold Him?
A47928Nay; Or that those of the Religion do Subdivide, or break Communion among Themselves?
A47928Needless?
A47928Next; as to the Degree, and Measure of your Importance; How Many Regiments of the One, and How many Millions of the Other, makes up that Importance?
A47928Or Why should a Standing Army do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Or if so, Why may not the Church be in the Right against the People, as well as any Particular of the People, against the Church, and the Rest?
A47928Or indeed, Why should not All be Tolerated, as well as Any?
A47928Or is it in the Wit of Man, to Contrive a Common Expedient to Oblige them?
A47928Or rather, Was there any thing of Conscience in the Case?
A47928Or that we owe them Less, AFTER Misgovernment, then we did Before?
A47928Or to leave their Countrey?
A47928Or will Liberty any better suit with the Presbyterians?
A47928Or will you call it Choice, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone?
A47928Or will you have it, that our Duty to God ceases in the Act of becoming Subjects to a Civil Power?
A47928Or, That Liberty Consciencious, which the Governour esteems Unlawful?
A47928Presb, Was it not rather the Work of the Independents?
A47928Prohibit the Scots Trading with any of the King of Spains Dominions, under Pein of Excommunication?
A47928Reflect soberly upon what has been said; and Tell me, Do you think such a Toleration either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant?
A47928Ruine of Liberty, or Estate?
A47928Secondly; Whether was there first in the World, One Man, or More?
A47928Shall his Majesty give up his Government, for fear of some Millions( perchance) in his Dominions, that had rather be Kings, then Subjects?
A47928Shall the King therefore dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals?
A47928Shall the People be left to do what they list, because a World of them have a Mind to do what they should not?
A47928Shall the Vice, or Errour of the Person, degrade the Order?
A47928Shall they not have their Meetings, and Consultations, without Controul?
A47928Shall we Wrangle Eternally?
A47928Shall we be the Quieter for it?
A47928Shall we not have Nem, and Monstrous Opinions Propagated daily?
A47928Shall we stand to his Award whatever it be?
A47928Some Particulars will possibly suffer for want of a Toleration: and who are They; but the Profest Opposers of the Law?
A47928That is to say,( without more Circumstance) Which do you take for the more Tolerable Mischief of the Two?
A47928That is to say; Whether the Government shall Stand, or Fall?
A47928The Independents made sweet work in Holland, did they not?
A47928The Non- Conformists refuse Communion with the Church: What is it They boggle at?
A47928The Question in England is, Whether Christ, or Anti- Christ, shall be Lord, or King?
A47928The Question is; Whether He shall Over- rule your Opinions, or You Over- rule His Authority?
A47928The Unity of the Church, in this Multiplicity of Professions?
A47928The WHOLE PARTY in England, do you say?
A47928The whole Generation of the Non- Conformists United against his Person, and Government, as well in Iudgment, as in Faction?
A47928Their Declarations, and Subscriptions?
A47928Their Peremptory Impositions?
A47928They that are within the Comprehension, will be well enough: But what will become of them that are left out?
A47928This was the Year before the King''s Death, it seems: Whas not That within the Retrospect of the Act of Indemnity?
A47928To Know, Believe, or Profess are not in our Power: And shall a Man be punish''t for want of Grace, or Understanding?
A47928To permit Freedom of Worship to those you repute Hereticks, then to Relate a little towards your Orthodox Friends?
A47928Very good: And if the Kirk shall think fit to find them so or so; Pray''e What Remedy?
A47928Was That an Act of Authority?
A47928Was he not Spied, and Guarded, for fear of an Escape?
A47928Was it any better even under the Celebrated Government of Queen Elizabeth?
A47928Was it not made Death without Mercy, for any Man, having taken the Solemn League and Covenant, to adhere to his Majesty?
A47928Was it not the Test of the King''s Enemies, as well as of the Bishops?
A47928Was not King Iames, a Favourer of the Enemies of God''s Truth, and of Dissolute Persons?
A47928We have Laws Ecclesi ● … l, for the Ordering of the Church; and you refuse to Obey them ▪ For what Reason, I beseech you?
A47928Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands?
A47928Well; and what hurt''s in all this?
A47928Were not These, Presbyterians?
A47928Were not his Majesties Friends kept from him, by a strict Order, at Newcastle?
A47928Were not the Army, and Ass ● … mbly, Presbyterian; And all their Votes, Actions, and Conclusions Influenc''d accordingly?
A47928Were not the Principals of the Faction in the Long Parliament, every Man of them Presbyterian?
A47928Were not they the most likely of all others to disappoint our Settlement?
A47928Were the Anabaptists, Familists, and Brownists, that started up in Those Days, Presbyterians?
A47928What Course shall I take, to avoid Enterfering?
A47928What Exceptions have you to our COMMON PRAYER?
A47928What Swarms of Anabaptists, Brownists, Familists, Antinomians, Anti- Scripturists, Anti- Trinitarians, Enthusiasts( and what Not?)
A47928What are the Furies of the Anabaptists to us, that have Declared against them, as well as You?
A47928What are their Names?
A47928What can be more Ridiculous than to Authorize a Cobler to Correct Majesty, Mechanicks to Determine in Points of Faith?
A47928What can be the End of this Rhodomontade; but to startle the Government, on the One Side, and to animate the Multitude, on the Other?
A47928What do you find in the Independent Way, that may endanger his Majesty, either in his Person, or in his Prerogative?
A47928What does all this Evasion, and Obscurity signifie; but that there is somewhat in the bottom, more then you are willing to own?
A47928What follows upon it?
A47928What have you next to say against our Ceremonies?
A47928What have you to say now for a Toleration upon Reason of State?
A47928What if it yields?
A47928What if the Subject shall account That Imposition grievous, which the Magistrate thinks N ● … cessary?
A47928What is Conscience?
A47928What is This, but a meer Trifling of Government; to suppose a Law, without an Obligation?
A47928What is This, but to make Sport with Authority, and Conscience?
A47928What possibility is there of attaining such an Agreement, among so many Insuperable Diversities of Judgment, as reign in Mankind?
A47928What says the Artificer, the Tradesman, the Farmer?
A47928What sort of Ruine do you mean?
A47928What was it again that originally disposed this Monster to that cursed Act?
A47928What''s the Quarrel to them upon the matter now before us?
A47928What''s to be done in This Case?
A47928When Prentices robb''d their Masters, and took Sanctuary in the Service?
A47928When Publique Faith was a Tradesmans best Security; and the whole Nation held Life, and Estate, at the good Pleasure of a Close Committee?
A47928Where do ye find that Kings Reign, upon Condition of Ruling Righteously?
A47928Where is it, that you find This Exorbitant Power that you talk of?
A47928Where is the Bond of Peace, in this Exercise, and Latitude of Dissention?
A47928Where lies the Difference; I beseech you, between Their Impulse, and Our Choice?
A47928Where you shall not Speak, Look, Move, Eat, Drink, Dress your self; Nay, not so much as entertein a Thought, but at your Peril?
A47928Wherefore do ye lift your selves above the Congregation of the Lord?
A47928Wherefore then lift ye your selves above the Congregation of the Lord?
A47928Whether may be better Tolerated in This Kingdom, The Presbyterians, or the Independents; in Respect of their PRINCIPLES, and Ordinary PROCEEDINGS?
A47928Whether will you rather have; One Fallible Iudge, or a Million of Damnable Heresies?
A47928Which is the True Religion, among so many divided, and contradictory Pretenses to it?
A47928Which of the Two, do you account the more Tolerable; SCANDAL, or Schism?
A47928Which will you have him follow; Truth, or Authority?
A47928Who shall distinguish?
A47928Who shall over- rule?
A47928Who shall pretend to Iudge of my Conscience, beside God, and my Self?
A47928Why should We be put upon Extremities of Hard Labour, Course Fare, Rising early, and Going to Bed late?
A47928Why should We be the Drudges of the Kingdom?
A47928Why should a Commonwealth do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Why should a Toleration do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Why should not every Man be Govern''d by his own Conscience, as well in Consort, as in Solitude, as well in Company, as by Himself?
A47928Will Presbytery ever satisfie, the Independents Conscience?
A47928Will not every Man conclude, that the English are the Wretched''st Slaves upon the Face of the Earth?
A47928Will not the Tolerated Party become a Sanctuary for all the Turbulent Spirits in the Nation?
A47928Will you allow of no Ceremonies then at all,( you''l say) for the Instruction of the Vulgar?
A47928With what face then, can you ask a Toleration from That Government, which of all Others, your selves refused to Tolerate?
A47928Would you have his Majesty of Great- Britain, Tolerate Roman- Catholicks here, as his Most Christian Majesty does Protestants in France?
A47928Would you have me open my Door to a Troop of Thieves, because there are four or five Honest Men in the Company?
A47928Would you not take Time for an Answer?
A47928[ And what follow''d?]
A47928[ Esaminato con le solite Forme, confesso liberamente,& c.] What was it that Animated Ravillac to his Hellish Practise upon that Brave Prince?
A47928[ How many Good Mens Deaths have the Bishops been the Cause of?
A47928[ Quid aliud hic statuitur, quam quod in omnibus locis, Ecclesiis restitutum cupimus?
A47928and Waat upon the Magistrate?
A47928and that there were Thousands in the Army, that had no Unkindness for his Majesty?
A47928and what not?
A47928appear Non- Indifferent to some or other; if nothing may be Commanded, but what upon such a Phansie may be Disobey''d?
A47928as much as all This amounts to?
A47928did they not also appoint to meet in Armes, at the Tryal of them?
A47928have started up even in our days, under the Protection of Liberty of Conscience?
A47928into DO YOU Believe?
A47928or who would have dream''d of any harm in a League for the Preservation and Defence of the King''s Majestie''s Person and Authority?
A47928— What do you think now of UNCOMELY GESTURES?
A4890026. you tell me the Question between us, is, Whether the Magistrate hath any Right to use Force to bring Men to the true Religion?
A4890030 26 them?
A48900A happy Discovery: What''s the Use of it?
A48900A manifest Demonstration, ● … s it not?
A48900Against whom?
A48900And I ask you, Who ever said any such thing did follow from thence?
A48900And I upon the same Ground reply; If lesser Degrees of Force will not prevail, what other means is there left but greater?
A48900And as to Rites and Ceremonies, are there any necessary to Salvation, which Christ has not instituted?
A48900And can he be encouraged to this, by hearing what others may gain by what( without Repentance) must cost him so dear?
A48900And can you think less degrees of Force can work, and often, as you say, prevail where greater could not?
A48900And do not you own that those who have that Power, ought to punish those who offend in rejecting the true Religion?
A48900And here again I ask, Have all Men to whom this Cure is of absolute Necessity, been furnished with this necessary means?
A48900And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A48900And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A48900And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
A48900And if their own Words may not be taken; who, I pray must be Judg?
A48900And if there be such a Right somewhere, where should it be, but where the Power of compelling resides?
A48900And if this be not profaning them, pray tell me what is?
A48900And is it not as true, that if they will, in their several Capacities, do what they may and ought, true Religion will also subsist without Force?
A48900And is this for their good?
A48900And may not Force thus be serviceable to bring Men to receive and imbrace Falshood?
A48900And must all other Magistrates sit still, and not do their Duty till they have your Permission?
A48900And that all the Papists in th ● … World go to Mass without believing it their Duty?
A48900And to you asking again, who were of desperately perverse and obstinate Constitutions?
A48900And what at last is their Commission?
A48900And what can be done better to answer it, than to the Words I have above cited, to subjoin these following?
A48900And when have they done this?
A48900And when is the Magistrate, that has the care of Mens Souls, and does all this for their Salvation, satisfied that they have so considered?
A48900And when, in your Opinion, is it presumable that any Man has done all this?
A48900And where there has been the Relaxation of such moderate Penal Laws, the fruits whereof have continually b ● … en Epicurism and Atheism?
A48900And wherein does that Str ● … ngth?
A48900And who I beseech you must be Judg of that?
A48900And who then is Judg of what is the Truth to be imbraced, but the Magistrate?
A48900And who were incurable?
A48900And why may not the Care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself?
A48900And why was Force 〈 ◊ 〉?
A48900Any Advice in it that you your s ● … lf would disown?
A48900Are Men to be punished for refusing to imbrace the Doctrine, and submit to the Government of the proper Ministers of the Church of Geneva?
A48900Are not greater to be used?
A48900Are not these Expressions to set forth a deplorable Condition, and to move Pity in all that hear them?
A48900Are there not those who are Members of your Commonwealth, who do not imbrace the Truth that must save them, any more than they?
A48900Are you in earnest?
A48900Are you sincere?
A48900Aversion to the true Religion you say is of absolute Necessity to be ● … ured: What I beseech you is that true Religion?
A48900Ay, but where do you say that Persecution is for the Salvation of Souls?
A48900Besides, said he, who must be Judg whether the Magistrate knows or no?
A48900Besides, when they are thus punished by their Magistrate for not conforming, what need they examine?
A48900But I beseech you what Care is this of the Honour of God, and Mens Salvation, you speak of?
A48900But all this you tell me, is just nothing to my purpose: Why I beseech you?
A48900But could there be a more wild and incoherent Consequence drawn from it, than this; Therefore Dissenters must be punished?
A48900But do I contradict any thing of this, when I say, that the Care of every Man''s Soul ought not to be left to himself alone?
A48900But does all this tell us who are the desperately perverse and obstinate?
A48900But how come you to know, that Force is necessary?
A48900But how shall the Magistrate know when they upon Conviction imbrace, that he may then take off their Penalties?
A48900But how will you prove that God has given the Magistrates of the Earth a Power to punish all Faults against himself?
A48900But how, I beseech you, will this stand with your 13th Article?
A48900But if Mr. Reynolds, in your Opinion, was misled by corrupt Ends, or secular Interest; what do you think of a Prince now living?
A48900But if all Men have not Reason and sound Judgment, will Punishment put it into them?
A48900But is it to all those competent, i. e. sufficient means?
A48900But is that the the thing you mean by his applying Force only to a part of his Subjects?
A48900But is yours more practicable?
A48900But let us hear your Reason, For what Rule is there that expresses the Particulars that agree with it?
A48900But let us take it so for once, what then is your Answer?
A48900But must it be expected, that therefore they should all be of one Mind in things not necessary to Salvation?
A48900But next, are these Creeds in the Words of the Scripture or not?
A48900But pray, Sir, are there no Conformists that so reject the ● … ue Religion?
A48900But the Question in debate is, as you put it, Whether any body has a Right to use Force in Matters of Religion?
A48900But then I would fain know, why the same kind of Vsefulness, joined with the like Necessity, will not as well do it in the case before us?
A48900But then you will ask, Is it not this Vsefulness and Necessity that gives this Power to the Father and Mother?
A48900But then you will be asked again, Whether you know that he did those Miracles, as well as those who saw them done?
A48900But to conclude this great Accusation of yours: If you were not conscious to your self of some Tendency that way, why such an Out ● … ry?
A48900But to this you give a very ready Answer; Would you have the Magistrate punish all indifferently, those who obey the Law as well as them that do not?
A48900But what if after all, now you should be found to prevaricate?
A48900But what if all the means that can, be not used for their Instruction?
A48900But what if he misapplies it to bring Men to a False Religion?
A48900But what if they hold nothing, but what that other differing National Church does, shall they be nevertheless punished if they conform not?
A48900But what is that to my Question?
A48900But what is this I find here?
A48900But what need of Force or Punishment for this?
A48900But what then?
A48900But where is the publick Law?
A48900But who told you that the Majority of Mankind should ever be brought into the strait way, and narrow Gate?
A48900But whoever is to be Judg of what is sound or decent in the case, I ask, Of what Vse and Necessity is it to impose Creeds and Ceremonies?
A48900But why, I pray, all this boggling, all this loose talking, as if you knew not what you meant, or durst not speak it out?
A48900But why?
A48900But, Sir, I ask you who must be Judg, what is for the spiritual and eternal Good of his Subjects, the Magistrate himself or no?
A48900But, said my Friend, who shall be Judg whether he be in the right or no?
A48900By this Rule of yours, how long was there need of Miracles to make Christianity subsist and prevail?
A48900By whom?
A48900Can any one be saved without imbracing the one only true Religion?
A48900Christ commanded simply to baptize in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; but the signing of the Cross, how came that necessary?
A48900Convenient for what?
A48900Could he have done better?
A48900Could not our Saviour impower his Apostles to denounce or inflict Punishments on careless or obstinate Unbelievers, to make them hear and consider?
A48900Did he do it without being convinc''d that that was the right?
A48900Did the Christian Magistrates ever do so, who thought it necessary to support the Christian Religion by Laws?
A48900Did the Penalties laid on Nonconformity make you consider, so as to study, be convinced, and imbrace the True Religion?
A48900Did they, ever say so in those Laws?
A48900Dissenting?
A48900Do none of their Religions require the mortisying of Lusts as well as yours?
A48900Do you not now admire your own Subtilty and Acuteness?
A48900Do you then tell him which it is he must take, without Examination, and promote with Force; whether that of England, France or Denmark?
A48900Does the Scripture say any thing of this?
A48900For I ask you, since you lay so much stress to so little purpose on HUMANE Means, is some Humane Means necessary?
A48900For I ask you, to what Purpose do you use any Degree of Force?
A48900For can you say, if Punishments are to be used to prevail on any, that the greater will( where lower fail) prevail on none?
A48900For does any one ever judg insincerely for himself, that he needs Penalties to make him judg more sincerely for himself?
A48900For else what have we to do with HUMANE in the case?
A48900For if they be true, what Pretence is there for Force to bring Men who are of them to the true Religion?
A48900For if they be, why does not the Magistrate punish Envy, Hatred, and Malice, and all Uncharitableness?
A48900For what does any Man mean by sufficient Evidence, but such as will certainly win Assent where- ever it is duly considered?
A48900For what greater advantage can be given them, than to teach, that one may know the True Religion?
A48900For what, I beseech you?
A48900For what?
A48900For will it not be Impiety to say, that God hath left Mankind unfurnished of competent, i. e. sufficient Means for what is absolutely necessary?
A48900Force must have been applied to them, what therefore in the Primitive Church was to be done to them?
A48900Force, you say, is necessary: what Force?
A48900From any body?
A48900From whom?
A48900Give me leave therefore to ask, how it does it?
A48900Has God revealed it in his Word?
A48900Has it been revealed to you in particular?
A48900Have no Dissenters considered of Religion?
A48900Have they considered and examined enough, if they are satisfied themselves where the Truth lies?
A48900Have those Ministers any other Religion to teach, than what is contained in the Scriptures?
A48900Have you never heard of such a thing as the Religion establish''d by Law?
A48900He instituted two Rites in his Church; Can any one add any new one to them?
A48900He is to lay Penalties upon them, and continue them: How long?
A48900Here I ask you, whether any humane Power can make any thing, in its own nature indifferent, necessary to Salvation?
A48900His Providence which over- rules all Events, we ea ● … ly grant it: But why Extraordinary Providence?
A48900How far?
A48900How is it of a sudden, that they must be political Punishments?
A48900How now is it apply''d in your Method?
A48900How shall they hear without a Preacher?
A48900How was Force used?
A48900I appeal to all the World, whether this be not as just and natural a Con ● … clusion as yours?
A48900I ask whether they are not in your Opinion out of the way of Salvation, who are not joined in Communion with the true Church?
A48900I ask, Is it so decent that the Administration of Baptism, simply, as our Saviour instituted, would be indecent without it?
A48900I asked, Since great ones are unfit, what Degrees of Punishment or Force are to be used?
A48900I desire to know for what reason you except them?
A48900I only ask you, whether Force, your way applied, be able to produce them?
A48900I suppose you mean expresly forbidden, for else I might think these Words,[ Who has required this at your hands?]
A48900I will ask you now, how it can be proved that such an one is guilty of rejecting the one only true Religion?
A48900I will not trouble you here with a Question you will meet with elsewhere; Who in these Countries must be Judg of the true Religion?
A48900I would fain know then, say you, why the same Vsefulness joined wit ● … the like Necessity, will as well do in the Case before us?
A48900If Dissenting be not the Fault; is it that a Man does not examine his own Religion, and the Grounds of it?
A48900If by not certainly, you mean it may any way, or to any degree prevent, why is it not so done?
A48900If he must not, what must guide him in the punishing of some, and not of others?
A48900If it will not, as it is evident it will not, to what purpose is this said?
A48900If not being strictly necessary to Salvation, will excuse from Penalties in the one case, why will it not in the other?
A48900If not he himself, who for him?
A48900If not, why is a Word that signifies nothing put in, unless it be for a Shelter on Occasion?
A48900If one Man will not be wrought on by as little Force as another, must not greater Degrees of Force be used to him?
A48900If one should ask you how you knew it to be their Intention, can you say they ever told you so?
A48900If the Degree be too great, it will, you confess, do Harm: Can one then not err on the other hand, by using too little?
A48900If the Magistrate intended any thing more in those Laws but Consormity, would he not have said it?
A48900If the Magistrate may punish any one for not being of the True Religion, must the Magistrate judg what is that True Religion or no?
A48900If therefore the Religion of Dissenters from the true, be a Fault to be punish''d by the Magistrate; Who is to judg who are guilty of that Fault?
A48900If they answered, in other Places, to what were found in these, as ● … hat reason is there to suppose they should not?
A48900If they are not the Ends, why does the Punishment cease when those Ends are attain''d?
A48900If they did, were not those, who persisted in Unbelief, guilty of a Fault?
A48900If they do not reject the Truth necessary to Salvation, why do you punish them?
A48900If they had not so considered in our Days, what, according to your Scheme, must have been done to them, that did not consider as they ought?
A48900If this be not to compel them to the Magistrate''s Religion, pray tell us what is?
A48900If you are not, you must bethink your self how to answer that old Question, — Sed quis custodiet 〈 ◊ 〉 Custodes?
A48900If you can not lay your Hand on your Heart, and say all this, What then will be got by the change?
A48900If you can shew no such place, do you not vouch Experience where you have none?
A48900If you say it is for want of Consideration, must not your Remedy of Force be used to bring them to it?
A48900If you say it is his Duty to be of it first; why then is not ● … orce used to him afterwards, though he be still ignorant and unconvinced?
A48900If you say then, that by desperately perverse and obstinate, you mean incurable; I ask you again by what incurable?
A48900If you say, Yes, he will ask you how you know it?
A48900In England, having, as you do, excluded all the Dissenters( or else why would you have them punish''d, to bring them to imbrace the true Religion?)
A48900In the Case before us, What are Men designed to be?
A48900In the next Place, what is your necessary and sufficient means for this Cure that is of absolute Necessity?
A48900In this, whether and how far any one is faulty, must be left to the Searcher of Hearts?
A48900Is a Man negligent of his Soul, and will not be brought to consider?
A48900Is he careless, and will not be at the Pains to examine Matters of Religion?
A48900Is he, I say, commission''d to make them lie, and 〈 ◊ 〉 that which they do not believe?
A48900Is it because they cease to be faulty?
A48900Is it more eligible to those who have no other Thoughts of Religion, but to be of that of their Country without any farther Examination?
A48900Is it more eligible to those who suffer by it, for following the Light of their own Reason, and the Dictates of their own Consciences?
A48900Is it not those who contract the Church of Christ within Limits of their own Contrivance?
A48900Is it of absolute necessity to be cured in all?
A48900Is it that bare Preaching will prevail on no Men?
A48900Is it to prevail with Men to do something that is in their Power, or that is not?
A48900Is it useful and necessary to all Men?
A48900Is that the Crime your Punishments are designed to cure?
A48900Is the Magistrat commonly more careful of his own, than other Men are of theirs?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it?
A48900Is there no Remedy for this?
A48900Let it be so; but do the Surgeons know who has this Stone, this Aversion so, that it will certainly destroy him unless he be cut?
A48900Many are not prevail''d on by your moderate Force; What then is to be done?
A48900May a Man of no distinguishing Character be admitted to the Privilege of them?
A48900Men are to be punished: To what end?
A48900Moderate Punishments have been tried, and they prevail not; What now is to be done?
A48900Must it be the Ma istrate every- where, or the Magisrate in some Countries and not in others, or the Magistrate no- where?
A48900Must these of his Subjects be neglected, and left without the means be has Authority to procure them?
A48900Need not those of the National Church, as well as others, bring their Religion to the Bar of Reason, and give it a fair Trial there?
A48900Next I ask you, Who are in your sense the desperately perverse and obstinate?
A48900No: For what reason?
A48900Not whatever your Church or Religion be?
A48900Now if it be inquired, For what Fault Men are to be punished?
A48900Now pray what do you mean by Mankind''s being furnish''d with competent Means?
A48900Of what Use and Necessity is it among Christians that own the Scripture to be the Word of God and Rule os Faith, to make and impose a Creed?
A48900Or can it be done without any one''s judging at all?
A48900Or can they claim an Impunity by what I have said?
A48900Or can you give an Instance of any one, in whom it produced this Effect?
A48900Or else, must they be punished to make them consider and examine till they imbrace that which you chuse for Truth?
A48900Or have all Conformists considered?
A48900Or how can it be imagined, that they intend any thing but Conformity, by their use of Force; if they leave off the use of it as soon as Men conform?
A48900Or how will the Magistrate answer for it, if he use Force to make Dissenters consider, and let those of his own Church perish for want of it?
A48900Or if some that are in the way to Perdition, may be Members of the Commonwealth, why must these be excluded upon the account of Religion?
A48900Or is it more eligible to the Priests and Ministers of National Religions every- where, that the Magistrate should be vested with this Power?
A48900Or is not the Honour of God concern''d in their denying our Saviour?
A48900Or is this your way of Force and Punishment?
A48900Or last of all, Is it more eligible to all Mankind?
A48900Or must he use Force upon them too?
A48900Or was he convinc''d with Reasons and Arguments, not proper or sufficient to convince him?
A48900Ought the Magistrate to punish these?
A48900Pray what do you mean by Men, or any other of those indefinite Terms, you have always used in this Case?
A48900Preaching and Perswasion are not competent Means, you say; Why?
A48900Reasons and Arguments proper and sufficient to convince Men of the Truth of Falshood?
A48900Shall the Magistrate who is obliged to do what lies in him, be exeused, for letting him be damn''d, without the Use of all the means was in his Power?
A48900Shall we do Evil, that Good may come of it?
A48900So that Ananias and Saphira were struck dead: For what end?
A48900Take away the satisfaction of Men; Lusts, and which then, I pray, hath the advantage?
A48900That it is not easy to set Grant ● … ani Steeple upon Paul''s Church?
A48900That it is presumable that those who conform, do it upon Reason and Conviction?
A48900The Law punishes all Dissenters: For what?
A48900The Question is, How long they are to be punished?
A48900The Question is, Whether the Magistrate has any Power to interpose Force in Matters of Religion, or for the Salvation of Souls?
A48900The Words of St. Paul are these; How then shall they call on him on whom they have not believed?
A48900They may not deprive Men of their Estates; I suppose you mean their whole Estates: May they take away half, or a quarter, or an hundred ● … part?
A48900They may not maim a Man with corporal Punishments; May they use any corporal Punishments at all?
A48900They may not starve and 〈 ◊ 〉 them in noisom Prisons for Religion, that you condemn as much as I: May they put them in any Prison at all?
A48900Thirdly, How is your necessary Remedy to be applied?
A48900This Duty of Charity is well discharged by the Magistrate as Magistrate, is it not?
A48900This proving insufficient, what is the Magistrate to do?
A48900This will be still the Question, Whether the Liberty of Toleration, or the Authority of the Powers in being, contributed most to it?
A48900Those that 1 s. or 5 s. or 5 l. or 100 l. or no Fine will work upon?
A48900Those who can bear loss of Estate, but not loss of Liberty?
A48900To make them all conform, that''s evident; To what end?
A48900To my Question, In whose Hands this Right( we were a little above speaking of) was in Turkey, Persia or China?
A48900To my asking, What if God, for Reasons best known to Himself, would not have Men compell''d?
A48900To my demanding, if you meant Reasons and Arguments proper and sufficient to convince Men of the Truth, why did you not say so?
A48900To my demanding,` What if God would have Men left to their freedom in this Point, if they will hear or if they will forbear, will you constrain them?
A48900To my demanding,` What if there be other Means?
A48900To what end?
A48900To which you reply, No Sir?
A48900To your Question therefore, What is it that warrants and authorizes Schoolmasters, Tutors and Masters to use Force upon their Scholars or Apprentices?
A48900Under what King''s Reign was it, that you are so positive it could have no such Aid or Assistance?
A48900Very well; but who are those desperately perverse and obstinate, how shall we know them?
A48900Was not the great God of the Eastern Nations, Baal, or Jupiter Bel ● …, one of the first Kings of Assyria?
A48900We again ask, who are your Men of common 〈 ◊ 〉?
A48900Were Miracles so used till Force took place?
A48900Were any of the Americans of that one only true Religion, when the Europeans first came amongst them?
A48900What Commission for this hath the Magistrate from the Law of Nature?
A48900What I beseech you is the Crime here?
A48900What Necessity now is there?
A48900What Punishments I beseech you, for theirs cost them their Lives?
A48900What can be more impertinent than to vex and disease People with the Use of Force, to no purpose?
A48900What can you say but this?
A48900What do you think of Mr. Chillingworth when he left the Church of England for the Romish Profession?
A48900What do you think of one of my Pagans or Mahometans?
A48900What if I or my Readers are not so learned, as to understand either the Greek Original, or 〈 ◊ 〉 Latin Comment?
A48900What is it?
A48900What is the Obedience the Law requires?
A48900What is this necessary competent means that you tell us of?
A48900What is to be done now?
A48900What now in appearance can express greater Care to bring Men to the True Religion?
A48900What now is a proper Means to produce this?
A48900What now is the Magistrate by your Commission to do?
A48900What now is the Means to preserve True Religion in the World?
A48900What now is to be done with him?
A48900What now must be done with them?
A48900What reason have you for it?
A48900What then is to be done?
A48900What then?
A48900What think you of So ● … inians, Papists, Anabaptists, Quakers, Presbyterians?
A48900What think you of St. Athanasius''s C ● … eed?
A48900What think you of those great Numbers of Japaneses, that resisted all sorts of Torments, even to Death it self, for the Romish Religion?
A48900What two thinking Men of the Church of England are there, who differ not one from the other in several material Points of Religion?
A48900What were those other Means?
A48900What, I pray, is the Design of it?
A48900What, every one''s Fault every where?
A48900What?
A48900What?
A48900When is this End attained, and the Penalties which are the Means to this End taken off?
A48900When they as soon as any Relaxation of those Laws took off the Penalties, left again the Communion of the National Church?
A48900When was this, I b ● … eech you, that Idolatry found this Entrance into the World?
A48900Where are the Canons of this over- ruling Art to be found, to which you pay such Reverence?
A48900Where is the competent Number of Magistrates skilful in the Art, who must unanimously judg of the Disease and its Danger?
A48900Where was it question''d by the Author or me, that whoever rebell''d, were to fall under the Stroak of the Magistrate''s Sword?
A48900Whereas you your self own the Question to be, Whether the Magistrate has a Right to use Force in matters of Religion?
A48900Whether any of the Americans, before the Christians came amongst them, had offended in rejecting the true Religion tendred with sufficient Evidence?
A48900Whether in such a State they can or will think there is any need, or that it is to any purpose for them to examine?
A48900Which hath produced this warm Reply of yours; And will you ever pretend to Conscience or Modesty after this?
A48900Which the more dangerous Seducer, Lewis the XLVth with his Dragoons, or Mr. Claud with his Sermons?
A48900Which, what is it, but to punish Men barely for not being of the Magistrate''s Religion; The very thing you deny he has Authority to do?
A48900Who I beseech you is it in this Case that makes the Sect?
A48900Who bids him consider?
A48900Who can have the Heart now to deny any of this?
A48900Who dares question such a Cause, or oppose what is offered for the promoting the True Religion?
A48900Who is there almost that has not Prejudices, that he does not know to be so; and what can Force do in that Case?
A48900Who now must be Judg, in these Cases, what are convenient Penalties?
A48900Who requires it of them?
A48900Who then is Judg of what they are to be instructed in, and the Means of Instruction; but the Law- maker?
A48900Whom?
A48900Why I beseech you discourag''d, if they be true any of them?
A48900Why are Men averse to the true?
A48900Why are you so reserved in a Matter, wherein, if you speak not out, all the rest that you say will be to no purpose?
A48900Why might you not as well send them to the Scriptures, as to the Ministers and Teachers of the true Religion?
A48900Why should not the care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself, rather than the Magistrate?
A48900Why then do you so s ● … riously bemoan the loss of them?
A48900Why then does not the true Religion prevail against the false, having so much the advantage in Light and Strength?
A48900Why then, I pray, is it a more competent Means than Preaching, or why necessary, where Preaching prevails not?
A48900Why was Modesty and Conscience call''d in Question?
A48900Why?
A48900Why?
A48900Why?
A48900Will Men, against the Light of their Reason, do violence to their Understandings, and for sake Truth, and Salvation too, gratis?
A48900Will Punishment make Men know what is Reason and sound Judgment?
A48900Will it follow from thence, that no good can be done by Penalties upon others, who are not so far gone in Wickedness and Obstinacy?
A48900Will that serve the turn?
A48900Will the examining the Controversy between the Magistrate and the Dissenting Subject, in this case, bring him to the Knowledg of the Truth?
A48900Will these Immoralities by the Names any one shall give, or forbear to give to them, become Articles of Faith, or Ways of Worship?
A48900Will you doubt his Sincerity, or that he was convinced of the Truth of the Religion he professed, who ventured Three Crowns for it?
A48900Will you say the Magistrate is less expos''d in Matters of Religion, to Prejudices, Humours, and crafty Seducers, than other Men?
A48900Without Excuse, to whom I beseech you?
A48900Would you be for punishing some body, you know not whom?
A48900Would you have him punish all, indifferently?
A48900Yet 58 2 will not 69 8 give in to 71 13( for   17 himself) it 83 15 munion, excluding 108 34 named, it will 110 28 nishments?
A48900You ask me, Whether the Mildness and Gentleness of the Gospel destroys the coactive Power of the Magistrate?
A48900You ask what Means is there left?
A48900You tell me, in the same place, I was impertinent in my Question,( which was this, For what then are they to be punish''d?)
A48900and ought not the Magistrates of all Countries to take Care that it should be so?
A48900and shew a Willingness not to doubt, where you have no Assurance?
A48900and whether there can be any true Church without Bishops?
A48900and would you have them punished too, as you here profess?
A48900any thing that any worthy Clergyman that adorns his Function is concerned in?
A48900at least can you be sure of it till they have been tried for the compassing these End?
A48900by your lower Degrees of Force?
A48900corrupt, and will not part with his Lusts, which are dearer to him than his First- born?
A48900i ask you again; Are Penalties necessary because the End could not be obtain''d by Preaching, without them?
A48900if not, how can the Magistrate impose them?
A48900in bringing Men to an outward Profession of any, even of the true Religion, and leaving them there?
A48900obstinate, and will not imbrace the Truth?
A48900or all this, but not loss of Life?
A48900or loss of Liberty and Estate, but not corporal Pains and Torments?
A48900shall I fall down to that which comes of a Plant?
A48900that of the Church of England?
A48900that the Magistrate is like to be more concerned for other Mens Souls than themselves,& c.) What then will be got by the Change?
A48900that they come duly to the Church, and how their Heads to the Priests?
A48900that when gentle Admonitions and earnest Intreaties will not prevail, what other means is there left but Force?
A48900that you can not say, for Grace co- operating with Preaching will prevail; Are Penalties then necessary as sure to produce that End?
A48900them that obey the Law, as well as them that do not?
A48900unless you can shew us, that God hath promised the Co- operation and Assistance of his Grace to Force, and not to Preaching?
A48900where Men are not furnish''d with this Means to bring them to the True Religion?
A48900which of my Pagans or Mahumetans would have done otherwise?
A48900who by Articles and Ceremonies of their own forming, separate from their Communion all that have not Perswasions which just jump with their Model?
A48900who can doubt but that there those who talk so much of it, are in earnest?
A48900who denies it him?
A48900why one Doctrine of the Scripture put into the Creed and Articles, and another as sound left out?
A48900you and your Magistrates?
