A67389 | And what doth he think of the Israelites, when they Worshipped the Golden Calf? |
A67389 | Did the Iews ever hear of it before Christianity? |
A67389 | How so? |
A67389 | I tell him indeed, it is hard to please them both, when they do not agree amongst themselves? |
A31061 | 29. and the comprehension whereof he hath reserved unto himself? |
A31061 | At least in any case it should be mute, or ready to follow Job, saying, Behold, I am vile, what shall I answer thee? |
A31061 | Being an Answer to this Question, Why do you believe the Doctrin of the Trinity? |
A31061 | These things which every day we see and taste, we do not know; and are we curious about the Essence of God? |
A31061 | Wherefore do we stretch our Judgment beyond its Limits, unto Things so infinitely exceeding it? |
A67385 | 26. first argues the Possibility of it; Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the Dead? |
A67385 | But because we do not know a How the bones grow in the womb of her that is with child, shall we therefore say they do not grow there? |
A67385 | But what is it that is thus pretended to be Impossible? |
A67385 | If God say, c These Three are One? |
A67385 | If God say, d The word was God, and, The word was made Flesh, shall we say, Not so, only becaue we can not tell How? |
A67385 | King Agrippa, believest thou the Prophets? |
A67385 | Now what Inconsistence is there in all this? |
A67385 | shall we say, they are not? |
A67408 | And if these Infinite Spirits be Inseparable, why do you grant the number Three to that name, and not to the name of Gods? |
A67408 | Besides, what are they,''pray, if not Substances? |
A67408 | But what need we trouble our selves with these Niceties, or Names of these Degrees of Distinction? |
A67408 | But, pray, Why not as properly three Gods, as three Infinite Spirits? |
A67408 | For the notion of a Substance, is, of that which may subsist by it self: And what mark have we of separability but Real Distinction? |
A67408 | If you can not tell me, precisely, what they are: How should I tell you, How they Differ? |
A67408 | What partiality is it then to allow the one, and not the other? |
A67408 | Where is the fourth of this Syllogism? |
A60952 | And now can this Man pretend to speak these Things in the Person of one who thus Abhors, Abominates, and Detests them? |
A60952 | But did his Adversary, Dr. Owen, ever speak so? |
A60952 | In which case, who must be the Person drawing them? |
A60952 | Or charge them as the necessary Consequences of his Doctrine, without proving, or by any formed Argument so much as offering to prove them so? |
A60952 | Or use the Expressions here uttered by this Author? |
A67368 | And if to maintain( obstinately) That there be Three Gods;( that is, Three Eternal Infinite Minds or Spirits;) be not Heresy, What is? |
A67368 | And if we should add, It may be supposed, that the rest is so too; would not this be as good a Proof? |
A67368 | But is it there said, He may not advise with more than six? |
A67368 | But what are those Wise and Learned Men to do? |
A67368 | But, supposing their Authority, he asks, How far their Authority extends? |
A67368 | Especially when they are all Unanimous? |
A67368 | If instead of calling six Heads, he call them All, is there any hurt in this? |
A67368 | Now, if you ask, How he knows all this? |
A67368 | Which might furnish him with new Topicks of Railing and Triumphing: Would not, It may be supposed, do as well here? |
A59787 | ( g) For what? |
A59787 | And what can be urg''d more against us in respect of Transubstantiation? |
A59787 | But are these the true and only Grounds of the Doctrine of that Holy Mystery? |
A59787 | But, Sir, to be short, What relation has this to the present Parallel of the Trinity and Transubstantiation? |
A59787 | Convert, Do n''t you believe the Doctrine of the Trinity? |
A59787 | Say you so, my Friend, then why must I believe the Trinity? |
A59787 | The Sacramental Body of Christ is cloathed with the Species of Bread, is it so in Heaven too? |
A59787 | for not believing Transubstantiation as well as the Trinity? |
A59787 | if not, how is the same Body at the same time, with and without the Species of Bread? |
A59787 | what if I will believe neither? |
A40072 | Again, Is not Absolute Independence a Real Perfection, and Being the First Original of all things another? |
A40072 | And where is he who will pretend to know how many Degrees, or Kinds of Unity are possible, or actually are? |
A40072 | But doth not the Sixth Proposition considered with the Fifth, ascribe both these too to the Father onely? |
A40072 | But how is he guilty of such Contradictions? |
A40072 | Doth not the Fourth Proposition expresly say that he is Self- Existent too? |
A40072 | How is it possible that this Author should overlook such an Obvious Reasoning, or not be Satisfied with it? |
A40072 | Is it not this, A Being Absolutely Perfect; or, a Being that hath all Perfections? |
A40072 | What is the Definition of God among all Divines and Philosophers? |
A62587 | And again, Is there any God besides me? |
A62587 | And what is this less in effect than to say, That there are three Gods? |
A62587 | Are we not all the Sons of Adam, who was the Son of God? |
A62587 | But to what purpose? |
A62587 | Is there not One God, and are we not all his Offspring? |
A62587 | Yes, say they, why not? |
A62587 | but may ask further, Is God divided? |
A62587 | hath not One God created us? |
A39364 | 5, For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? |
A39364 | And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? |
A39364 | But pray, what Authority have you to call the Son a God- Angel, as you do? |
A39364 | Did only the Man dye? |
A39364 | Hath he ascrib''d to the Divine Essence Properties which he calleth Persons, that are not in it? |
A39364 | If Mr. Hooker could Err about the Trinity, what will the Phanaticks and Trimmers say? |
A39364 | In your Clear Confutation( as you call it) you have these words: A Trinity supposes Three Persons in God: And why but Three? |
A39364 | Is there in that Confession of Faith any thing, which doth not at all times edify, and instruct the attentive Reader? |
A39364 | Now if Abraham Believ''d the Gospel preached unto him, did he not Believe in Christ? |
A39364 | Was only the Man Tempted? |
A39364 | What Measures, or Opinions then can the Unlearned take from their( disputing) Leaders? |
A39364 | Would he have a Divinity that is not Wonderful, or Incomprehensible? |
A39364 | what wou''d the man be at? |
A67386 | And if the Scripture speak of them as Three Persons; why should we scruple to call them so? |
A67386 | And shall we doubt what God himself tells us because we can not comprehend it? |
A67386 | And what satisfaction can be competent to the offended Deity? |
A67386 | But if we neither See, nor Hear of, nor have any Notion of the things that are made; how shall we thence derive the Notion of a God? |
A67386 | Do they think the Wisdom and Power of the Almighty are to be bounded by the Scanty Limits of their Vnderstanding? |
A67386 | I say when we consider these, what necessity is there of limiting and confining God Almighty here? |
A67386 | Is it not that God, whose Justice is infinite, that is offended? |
A67386 | Is it not the same God, who is also Infinite in Goodness and Mercy that is appeased? |
A67386 | Is the Eternal Mind any whit multiplied or divided by giving a Rational Soul or Mind to Man? |
A67386 | Is the principle of Essentiality and Vitality any whit divided in or from the Deity by giving Life and Being to those Creatures? |
A67386 | May we not as reasonably think, that if in his infinite Wisdom he so thought fit, he might as well make a Being yet more perfect? |
A67386 | THE Metaphysicians I remember teach us that one way to know the Deity is by way of Eminency, Is there any good or perfection in the Creature? |
A67386 | Were Men or Angels fit to mediate, or could they make a satisfaction? |
A67386 | What necessity then to think that the Godhead must be either multiplied or divided, or in any wise varied by acting the Divinity in the Humane Nature? |
A67386 | What room for his Mercy, without derogation to his Justice, unless there be satisfaction? |
A67390 | 4. or Because by his Wisdom and Power he made the World; Therefore his Wisdom and his Power are distinct Gods from himself? |
A67390 | And asks, If I ever knew an Unitarian, especially an Arian, deny him that Character? |
A67390 | And what is there in all this of Inconsistent Absurdity? |
A67390 | And, if there be no Contradiction in it, why should we be afraid to say, what in Scripture is said so plainly? |
A67390 | But how? |
A67390 | But what then? |
A67390 | But, why so displeased with these Simile''s? |
A67390 | Hear, O Israel) the Lord Our God is One Lord? |
A67390 | How shall it be done, but by denying many Gods? |
A67390 | Is the Divinity of Christ implied in the New Testament? |
A67390 | Is the Humanity of Christ called God? |
A67390 | Is the Humanity preferred before Angels? |
A67390 | No real Unity but acting a Person by imitation? |
A67390 | Or did the Humanity frame the World? |
A67390 | Or, why should we set up Two Gods where One will serve, and when the Scripture says, There is but One? |
A67390 | What was it made for, if not to prevent Polytheism? |
A67390 | What( says he) was that Commandment made for? |
A67390 | What? |
A67390 | Why in our case? |
A67390 | Why, how is that to be done? |
A67390 | is the Divinity of Christ implied in the New Testament? |
A67388 | ( as well as those three other Persons be one Man?) |
A67388 | And shall we then say, of the deep things of God, The thing is impossible, because we can not find it out? |
A67388 | And why the Second Person, and not the First or Third? |
A67388 | And, how can he then say, That to Dye is gain? |
A67388 | As to the Question, How is it Possible? |
A67388 | As to the Question, Why? |
A67388 | By what handle can a Spirit Intangible take hold of a Tangible Material Body, and give Motion to it? |
A67388 | For when there is in the same body, and so near, Semen virile& muliebre, what hinders but there might be a passage for them to mix? |
A67388 | Now( as he there further argues) If, when he tells us of earthly things, we do not apprehend it, how much more if he tell us of Heavenly things? |
A67388 | Of what Matter? |
A67388 | Or, that God can not command the Winds, because we can not? |
A67388 | The Objection is this: Since the Three Persons can not be Divided; How is it possible, that One of them can Assume Humanity, and not the other? |
A67388 | With what Tools or Engines? |
A67388 | and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? |
A67388 | of the deep things of God? |
A67388 | or, Direct its Motions this way or that way? |
A67388 | or, How a Pure Spirit could produce Matter where none was? |
A67388 | or, Stop it when in Motion? |
A38076 | And now is it not plain to any man, that the Dean, by thus going forward and backward, saying and unsaying, very evidently contradicts himself? |
A38076 | Are not the Persons in the Trinity three distinct Divine Persons? |
A38076 | Are not these three Persons three substantial Persons? |
A38076 | Are there not three Persons in the Godhead? |
A38076 | But 2dly, Let it be granted, that the Church may alter old phrases; but hath she actually made use of that her Authority in the case before us? |
A38076 | But can not what is essential to the notion of a person, be numbred and distinguished with the person? |
A38076 | But to pass this by, and proceed to his questions: Are not three substantial persons, three distinct substances? |
A38076 | But what Church I beseech you? |
A38076 | Doth this great critick in languages know whence this word is derived? |
A38076 | How can this Apology vindicate him, except either he be the Church, or at least be commissioned by her, and invested with her Authority? |
A38076 | How comes he to be styled the Church? |
A38076 | Is it not Sabellianism to affirm that there is but one singular and solitary nature in the Trinity? |
A38076 | Is it not then as plain, that if there be three distinct divine Persons, there must consequenty be three Gods? |
A38076 | Is not every divine Person, truly and properly God? |
A38076 | The Church hath tyed us to the use of these words, I pray who hath set us at liberty? |
A38076 | Well? |
A38076 | What Authority I pray hath he to order the laying of it aside? |
A38076 | What must words be used, or laid aside at his discretion? |
A38076 | When he saith it is one, one and the same, doth he mean one singular, numerical nature? |
A38076 | or could such a Censure so passed be accused of rashness? |
A67417 | ''T is indeed a piece of Courtship at this day,( and perhaps hath been for some Ages:) But how long hath it been so? |
A67417 | 17.27, 28. Who hath first given to him? |
A67417 | And do not the Antitrinitarians differ much more? |
A67417 | And do not the Arians among themselves, and the Socinians amongst themselves, differ more than do the Trinitarians? |
A67417 | And what hinders but that the same God, distinguished according to these three Considerations, may fitly be said to be Three Persons? |
A67417 | Behold, the man is become like One of Vs. Is this also Stilo Regio, instead of, The man is become like one of Me? |
A67417 | Doth not the Arian and the Socinian differ as much from one another, as either of them do from us;( and declare that they so do?) |
A67417 | Et quisquam credit hanc Unitatem de divina firmitate venientem, sacramentis coelestibus cohaerentem, scindi in Ecclesia posse? |
A67417 | Fo ●, seeing these Three are One, How can the Holy Ghost be at Peace with him who is at Enmity with either the Father or the Son? |
A67417 | For to which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? |
A67417 | For, if these be not Characters of the True God, by what Characters shall the True God be described? |
A67417 | I am HE; What HE? |
A67417 | I ask then, of What God? |
A67417 | Of Christ? |
A67417 | Of the Creator? |
A67417 | Of the Holy Ghost? |
A67417 | Or( if the word Person do not please) Three Somewhats that are but One God? |
A67417 | Quaero, Cujus Dei? |
A67417 | Shall we therefore argue, That God the Redeémer is the Onely True God, and beside Him there is no God, therefore not God the Creator? |
A67417 | Si Spiritus Sancti;[ cum tres Unum sint,] quomodo Spiritus Sanctus placatus esse ei potest, qui aut Patris aut Fi ● ii inimicus est? |
A67417 | The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, Who can know it? |
A67417 | Therefore, not him who brought Israel out of the North- Country? |
A67417 | What nation is so great, who hath God so Nigh unto them?) |
A67417 | What shall I say to them? |
A52605 | But it may be questioned possibly, why have I wrote against him then, if I had such a Respect for him? |
A52605 | But what? |
A52605 | Does he not? |
A52605 | He argues thus therefore, with himself: What was that Commandment made for? |
A52605 | I would fain ask the Doctor, Does this Text insinuate that these two Gods, to wit, the Father and the Word, are one? |
A52605 | Is the Humanity preferred before Angels? |
A52605 | Is there Three Persons in God? |
A52605 | No, but you say all ca n''t; And why not? |
A52605 | Not that I write this, that God doth not harden some neither; but who shall judge who they are; who shall say, just such a Sect? |
A52605 | Pray Sir, what do you make of God, a variable, changeable, dying thing? |
A52605 | Right, and did the Doctor ever know a Unitarian, especially an Arrian, deny him that Character? |
A52605 | What? |
A52605 | What? |
A52605 | Why how, says he, is that to be done? |
A52605 | for is it not to begin with Calumnies? |
A52605 | is the Divinity of Christ implied in the New Testament? |
A52605 | may be Dr. Wallis doth not think, that God in Christ was tempted, suffered, or dyed, but only the Man? |
A52605 | or does it not rather acquaint us, they are two, and separate? |
A52605 | or, did the Humanity frame the Worlds? |
A52605 | that is, one of your God''s to dye; and if you can one, why not all? |
A52605 | why but Three? |
A67409 | ( And what if I had said so too?) |
A67409 | ( whereby he was constrained to relinquish his Errors?) |
A67409 | And what Vnskilfulness appears in this? |
A67409 | As little need be said of a many little things, as little to the purpose: As, whether my Third Letter were not rather a Book? |
A67409 | But was it not so? |
A67409 | But what Vnfairness was there in all this? |
A67409 | But what''s all this to the matter in hand? |
A67409 | But( besides in these and many others, he cavils without a cause) what''s all this to the Business in hand? |
A67409 | Doth Luther or Calvin any where say, that Father, Son, and Holy- Ghost, are but three Names? |
A67409 | Nor had he told me, who, and when, and upon what Question, his supposed Anti- Socinian was baffled by his Opponent? |
A67409 | Nor what shall we call them? |
A67409 | Or how doth it contradict what I affirm? |
A67409 | These three — what? |
A67409 | Well, but did they change all their Opinions? |
A67409 | Well; but what says he, is the Question? |
A67409 | What am I then to do? |
A67409 | Whether Tres or Trinitas be the better Latin- word? |
A67409 | Whether Vnum( in the Neuter Gender, put absolute without a Substantive) do not usually signifie One Thing? |
A67409 | Whether it be better English to say, God the Creator, God the Redeemer, and God the Sanctifier ARE, or IS but one God? |
A67409 | Whether the things which God hath prepared for them that love him, are the Onely deep things of God which we can not comprehend? |
A67409 | Whether the word Trinitas, be a pure Latin, or a Barbarous Word,( not to be found in Tully, any more than Vnitarian)? |
A67409 | Whether, what I knew forty years ago, I had been studying and considering forty years( without thinking of ought else all the while)? |
A67409 | Whether, what in his former Letter, p. 9. were but old- fashioned Notions, be now( in this last) New and Cautious? |
A67409 | Why unskilfully? |
A67409 | did they relinquish all their Errors? |
A67409 | or the Onely secret things which belong to God, while things Revealed belong to us? |
A67409 | or, how I might come to know it? |
A67409 | or, that they be three Gods? |
A67409 | why unfairly? |
A42447 | And how easie are Villainous Practices derived from an absurd Faith? |
A42447 | And if there be but One Omnipresent, Infinitely Perfect Being, how can he be truly and fully represented to any Mind under Three different Idea''s? |
A42447 | And now what dangerous Consequences can possibly attend such a Faith as this? |
A42447 | And what am I the wiser for all this? |
A42447 | Are we not obliged to believe there are Joys in Heaven, which it has not enter''d into the Heart of Man to conceive? |
A42447 | But here I fore- see it may be asked, What do we understand more of the Trinity now than we did before? |
A42447 | But here it is Objected; How can God and Man be united? |
A42447 | But if we say, there are Three Infinite Beings, and all the Perfections of each are coincident, what ground can we have for such a Distinction? |
A42447 | For where''s the Hardship of being required to believe as far as we can believe? |
A42447 | God is Incomprehensible in his Nature and Perfections, but are we not obliged to believe there is a God who is Incomprehensible? |
A42447 | If not, what do they signifie? |
A42447 | Nay, has not God taken a particular care to preserve Men from Idolatry, by forbidding them to Worship him in or by any sensible Representation? |
A42447 | Were the Heavens, the Temple, the Cherubim or Prophets to be adored? |
A42447 | What Blasphemies and Contradictions may and have been imposed upon mens belief, under the Venerable Name of Mysteries? |
A42447 | What addition is there made to my Faith or Knowledge by such a Proposition? |
A42447 | What becomes of the great Difficulty and Obscurity complained of by others? |
A42447 | What created Object was ever allowed to intercept the Worship paid to God, or share with him in it? |
A42447 | What is sufficient for Christians to believe concerning this Point? |
A42447 | What it is the Scripture requires us to believe in this Matter? |
A42447 | What new Hypothesis is here advanced to solve all the Difficulties of that Doctrine by? |
A01747 | And further, see you not in euerie thing a bodie, a spirite and a life, which is the knot betweene them? |
A01747 | And how is Faith sayd to bee the gift of God? |
A01747 | And why ought this to seeme strange? |
A01747 | And why? |
A01747 | Beleeue you the Scripture? |
A01747 | But how thē commeth it to passe, that all men haue not Faith? |
A01747 | But you will say, Is not the Holy Ghost a Beginner vnto any other? |
A01747 | Can you now confer this Scripture with that place, I haue said ye are Gods, and not be ashamed? |
A01747 | For is not this world as a booke wherein wee may reade and vnderstand by the created trueths, what is the Trueth which is increated? |
A01747 | For tell mee without selfe- liking, what sound iudgement doth this argue, to be driuen about with euery wind of doctrine? |
A01747 | How is that? |
A01747 | I graunt there is Prioritie among the persons of the Godhead; but of what kinde? |
A01747 | I will make a comparison vnmeet for the matter of which I speake; for to whom shall wee assimulate the Highest? |
A01747 | If these things were not so; how thē could the Gentiles which knew not the Scriptures, he without excuse for their ignorance of God? |
A01747 | Is Iohns authoritie sufficient? |
A01747 | Now how could he do this, if he knew him not? |
A01747 | Or rather, see you not how the very bodily composition is both one, and three? |
A01747 | See you not how the vnderstanding? |
A01747 | The Iewes vnderstood, that hee herein professed himselfe to be very GOD: and are you his enemie more then they? |
A01747 | What bringing vp? |
A01747 | What if there want perfection? |
A01747 | What shall I cyte vnto you that of the second Pslam? |
A01747 | You wil say, To what purpose then serue the Scriptures? |
A01747 | You will againe obiect, that Eternitie hath no beginning nor ending: how then can Christ be both eternall and begun? |
A01747 | and how againe can he be equall to the Father, whereas hee beeing begotten of the Father, the Father hath a prioritie before him? |
A01747 | and how is hee said to leade vs into all trueth,& c? |
A01747 | doth not God require that perfectiō at mans hand wherein he did create him? |
A01747 | how is he then the Authour of our consolation? |
A01747 | one body which is vnited of three bodies? |
A01747 | the Sun- light also, is one in nature, and yet three in euident and cleare distinction? |
A25775 | * Did the Father beget a Mode and call it his Son? |
A25775 | * How much better does it fare with Tritheism in England? |
A25775 | * What? |
A25775 | And can those then be Sabellians who hold three distinct Subsistences in the Same? |
A25775 | And now if this be really so, is not our Church, think we, in a blessed Condition? |
A25775 | And that the 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, as such, had properly Flesh and Blood? |
A25775 | And what can Gentilis say against this? |
A25775 | But what God do you believe in? |
A25775 | But what''s all this to a distinction of Essence? |
A25775 | But who ca n''t easily discern, that this pitiful shift is too weak to support his tottering Cause? |
A25775 | But who can say that he ever heard amongst us, That we devis''d another God Superior to the Father of Christ? |
A25775 | For Christ speaks exclusively, Why callest thou me good? |
A25775 | For does not Sabellius hold only one single Subsistence in the Godhead, and no more? |
A25775 | For there is not an Arranter Piece of Sophistry, than to use Words in a different sence from that, wherein they have usually been received and taken? |
A25775 | For what good Man can hear with patience such a Rascally Fellow thus sawcily abusing and undermining the Christian Religion? |
A25775 | How audacious then is the Mind of Man, that dares pry into and endeavour to explain these hidden things of God? |
A25775 | How then dare we be so bold as to make him distinct in Essence from the Father? |
A25775 | Is not this, I pray you, an evident sign of a Seducing and Diabolical Spirit? |
A25775 | Nay, make them two distinct Numerical Essences, and so too as that the one should be propagated by the other? |
A25775 | So again, when Christ upon the Cross cries out, My God, My God, why hast thou for saken me? |
A25775 | Tell me who was he that rul''d over him? |
A25775 | Translated by Robert South? |
A25775 | What a dismal Aspect, I say, must all this needs have upon our Church and Clergy? |
A25775 | Whether or no it be proper to the Father to be call''d the One Only God? |
A25775 | Who amongst us ever taught or affirm''d any such thing? |
A25775 | Who knows but that you are come to such high Place, Power and Dignity in our Church for such a Time as This? |
A25775 | Who then was it that sent him? |
A25775 | Whom did he obey, or whose Law did he fulfill? |
A25775 | Will he say, that Christ, as God, did suffer? |
A25775 | With the Father only exclusive of the Son? |
A25775 | With what God? |
A25775 | not explained by Self- Consciousness and Mutual Consciousness? |
A59831 | And being asked again, Why they then used those Expressions of Three Substances? |
A59831 | And then the Synod examined those who affirmed, That there was but One Substance in the Trinity, What they meant by it? |
A59831 | But if one infinite Mind is true and perfect God, are not Three infinite Minds Three Gods? |
A59831 | But supposing their Authority to be Just and Regular, there is another very proper Question, How far their Authority extends? |
A59831 | But will they hence frame an Universal Rule, That nothing must be said of the Holy Trinity in the Plural Number, considered as Three? |
A59831 | Does this Doctrine then of a real substantial Trinity, of three infinite Personal Minds, reproach or blaspheme the Deity? |
A59831 | I beseech you against whom? |
A59831 | In what sence then they are one Substance? |
A59831 | Is it any Reproach then to the Ever Blessed Trinity to affirm, that each Person is by himself a distinct infinite Mind? |
A59831 | Is it false then, that each Person in the Ever- Blessed Trinity is by himself in his own Person a Distinct, Infinite Mind, Spirit, or Substance? |
A59831 | Is not God the Father an Infinite Mind or Spirit? |
A59831 | Is not God the Son, the substantial Word and Wisdom of the Father, an Infinite Mind or Spirit? |
A59831 | Is not an eternal, infinite Person true and perfect God? |
A59831 | Now what Wickedness does this Doctrine of a real substantial Trinity, a Trinity of Three infinite personal Minds, teach us? |
A59831 | Or whether by Three Hypostases they meant, as some other Hereticks did, Three Principles, or Three Gods? |
A59831 | They ask us, Whether an eternal and infinite Mind be not ture and perfect God? |
A59831 | Whether to the declaring and decreeing Heresy? |
A59831 | Why may we not say that there are Three Gods as well as that there are Three Persons, or Three Minds? |
A59831 | against Father, Son, or Holy Ghost? |
A59831 | and if every eternal Person, as a distinct Person, be true and perfect God, are not Three such distinct Persons Three Gods? |
A59831 | and is not each of these Divine Persons a distinct infinite Mind? |
A59831 | and is this Blasphemy? |
A59831 | does not an infinite Mind signifie all the Perfections of a Deity? |
A59831 | is a Mode, a Posture, a Somewhat, without any name or notion belonging to it, the Object of Religious Worship? |
A59831 | is an infinite Mind then a Term of Reproach and Blasphemy? |
A59831 | or is it Blasphemy to say, what they are? |
A59831 | or is this to be suffered in a Christian Church? |
A59831 | or when each of these Divine Persons is a distinct infinite Mind, is it Blasphemy to say, that three Divine Persons are three distinct infinite Minds? |
A59831 | whether they can distinctly worship, three Names, or Modes, or Somewhats, when there is but one real substantial Subject or Suppositum of them all? |
A59822 | And what now does he answer to this? |
A59822 | But can we deny, that the whole Divinity, the fulness of the God- head was incarnate, or dwelt in Christ? |
A59822 | But do they think that all the Catholick Fathers knew not how to find Three in the Trinity, till they taught them to tell three upon their Fingers? |
A59822 | But is he so incarnate, as to be truly God- Man in One Person, as the Soul and Body are One Man? |
A59822 | But is not each Person in the Trinity infinite Mind, Spirit, Substance? |
A59822 | But is not this, in a true Catholick Sense, the Doctrine of the Realists also, as I observed before? |
A59822 | But will this Author in good earnest allow, that God was incarnate in Christ, and that Christ was in One Person, both God and Man? |
A59822 | Can a Being, who was never made, who has no Cause, no Beginning, have any End but it self? |
A59822 | For, How can the Son be Consubstantial, or of the same Substance with the Father, if he be no Substance at all? |
A59822 | Is God then only for the Sake of Creatures? |
A59822 | Nay, do not some Realists venture to call them three Minds, Spirits, Substances? |
A59822 | Or how can any of these things be affirmed of, or applied to our Saviour, in regard of the Incarnate or inhabiting Logos, or reflex Wisdom? |
A59822 | Or, Whether he had any immanent Acts of Wisdom or Reason, before he made the World? |
A59822 | Or, that the Arians owned Father and Son to have the same specifick Nature as Adam and Abel had? |
A59822 | Then he askt them, Whether he had a natural Will? |
A59822 | Theophanes askt Macarius and Stephen, Whether Adam had a reasonable Soul? |
A59822 | Was one God a superfluous, needless Being, before he made the World? |
A59822 | What is now become of his immanent Act, by which he tells us Original Mind must be Wise? |
A59822 | What then? |
A59822 | Why, you''ll say, is not every Person in the Trinity, by himself, in his own Person, true and perfect God? |
A59822 | and what are such Three, but three Gods, if One infinite Mind and Spirit, be one God? |
A59822 | or was the World from Eternity as well as God? |
A59822 | that is, the personal Wisdom of the Father; for who ever disputed, whether immanent Acts were Personal, or no? |
A48160 | ( What? |
A48160 | ( as God forbid I should think he never hath) what is that he supposes injurious to it? |
A48160 | And indeed is this a new notion? |
A48160 | And is there any hurt to him in that? |
A48160 | And what doth this come to less than three Natures? |
A48160 | And what is it now that he can not possibly understand otherwise? |
A48160 | And what then? |
A48160 | And what''s that which he calls a new notion? |
A48160 | And wherein doth it come short of what is said by the Enquirer? |
A48160 | And who did ever make a real distinction to be but modal? |
A48160 | Are similitudes ever wo nt to be alike throughout, to what they are brought to illustrate? |
A48160 | But hath he in all this fervent bluster a present concern at this time for the Honour of the Divine Being? |
A48160 | But if there be three what? |
A48160 | But this supposes some body said the first: And who? |
A48160 | But wherein doth the Enquirer own it? |
A48160 | But why then were these three so much discourst of before? |
A48160 | Doth he mean we are to disbelieve every thing of God whereof we have not a natural Notion? |
A48160 | For how can such actual sensation be imagin''d to be union? |
A48160 | For what are three spiritual natures no more the same, than( as he grosly speaks) the Soul and Body are? |
A48160 | How could he but think of that; To whom do ye liken me? |
A48160 | If by different Natures he means( as he seems) of a different kind, who thought of such a difference? |
A48160 | Is God the appropriate Name of a Person? |
A48160 | Is it strange the Created Universe should not afford us an exact Representation of uncreated Being? |
A48160 | Is it the words, parts and compounds? |
A48160 | Is not the water in the streams, the same that was in the Fountain? |
A48160 | Is this Notion of God pretended to be Natural? |
A48160 | Then to what purpose is a Divine Revelation? |
A48160 | Therefore if he do not own the Consequence, then the Defender confesses himself to have invidiously devised it; and what is it? |
A48160 | What Appetite in him is it, that now seeks what Nature doth not afford? |
A48160 | What is wanting to make him compleat God, in whom the whole, entire Divinity subsists? |
A48160 | Who can help so cross an understanding? |
A48160 | Why were these words read with Eyes refusing their office, to let them into the Reader''s mind? |
A48160 | and all other conceivable perfections besides? |
A48160 | and are not the several Attributes expresly spoken of as common to these three? |
A48160 | as new as the Creation? |
A48160 | by what consequence is this said, from any thing in the Enquirers Hypothesis? |
A48160 | may one neither be allow''d to agree with him, nor disagree? |
A48160 | no more than an intelligent mind, and a piece of Clay? |
A48160 | or fathom the depths? |
A48160 | or is it the things supposed to be united in the Divine Being? |
A48160 | then indeed there will be but one person; but who here says so but himself? |
A48160 | tho''distinct?) |
A53669 | 14. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire, who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A53669 | And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked? |
A53669 | And is it not strange, that true and real Sacrifices, should be Types and R presentations of that which was not so? |
A53669 | And shall any dare to deny but it may be so, in things Heavenly, Divine, and Spiritual? |
A53669 | And shall we think otherwise of the Law of God? |
A53669 | And why a new sense should be forged for these words, when they are spoken concerning Christ, who can give a just reason? |
A53669 | But do not these men see that they have hereby given away their Cause which they contend for? |
A53669 | But first, I ask what Reason is it that they intend? |
A53669 | But who was this Word? |
A53669 | But why so I pray? |
A53669 | But, Secondly, Where, or with whom, was this Word in the beginning? |
A53669 | Can any thing be more absonant from Faith and Reason, than this absurd expression? |
A53669 | D ● they say, that by his death he hare testimony unto, and confirmed the truth which he had taught? |
A53669 | Do they say that in what he did, and su ● fered, he set us an Example that we should labour after conformity unto? |
A53669 | Do they say, that he taught the Truth or revealed the whole mind and will of God concerning his Worship and our obedience? |
A53669 | Doth he subsist only in the form or nature of God? |
A53669 | For in their Catechism unto this Question, Is the Lord Jesus Christ, purus Homo, a meer man? |
A53669 | For what is according to this Interpretation the meaning of those words, in the beginning was the Word? |
A53669 | Fourthly, In this gloss what is the meaning of all things? |
A53669 | Hast thou O Son, fallen under the Enemies hand in my stead; am I saved by thy wounds; do I live by thy death? |
A53669 | Hast thou eaten of the Tree whreof I commandeded thee that then shouldst not eat? |
A53669 | He that eateth it, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 shall bear his iniquities, How? |
A53669 | How can three be one, and one be three? |
A53669 | How then will these pretended Masters of Reason reconcile these things? |
A53669 | How then? |
A53669 | How? |
A53669 | If a City be on fire, whose bucket that brings water to quench it ought to be refused? |
A53669 | If a man should have enquired of some of them of old, whether Melchizedeck were purus Homo, a meer man? |
A53669 | Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? |
A53669 | Morte tuâ vivam? |
A53669 | O the infamous portraicture this Doctrine draws of the Infinite Goodness; is this your retribution, O injurious Satisfactionists? |
A53669 | Or how could the truth of any thing more evidently be represented unto their minds? |
A53669 | Peter said to Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lye to the Holy Ghost? |
A53669 | Tantane me tenuit vivendi nate voluptas, Vt pro me hostili paterer succedere dextrae Quem genui? |
A53669 | The summ of what they say in general, is, How can these things be? |
A53669 | Then said the Jews unto him, thou art not fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
A53669 | VVhat is the meaning of were made? |
A53669 | Well, what is that subject matter? |
A53669 | What Reason do they intend? |
A53669 | What is it I pray? |
A53669 | What is their singular herein, concerning how many things may the same be affirmed? |
A53669 | What now can be required to secure our faith in this matter? |
A53669 | What then are they? |
A53669 | What then is this latent sense that is intended, and is discoverable only by themselves? |
A53669 | Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? |
A53669 | converted into flesh, into a Man, so that he who was God ceased so to be, and was turned or changed into flesh, that is a Man? |
A53669 | for then how shall God judge the world? |
A53669 | hath he a divine nature also? |
A53669 | that is, were mended? |
A53669 | tuane haec genitor per vulnera servor? |
A52608 | Are they not contradictory Terms, and therefore not to be applied to the self- same Substance in Number? |
A52608 | But allowing now the way of speaking, used by Mr. Hooker, what a Riddle has he propounded? |
A52608 | But did the Father beget the Substance of God? |
A52608 | But do they reckon they have to deal only with Fools? |
A52608 | But how shall we conceive, that the Substance of God in the first Posture, or in Posture A, begat the same Substance of God( in Number) in Posture B? |
A52608 | But whither am I carried? |
A52608 | Can any one beget his own Substance? |
A52608 | Can the self- same Substance( in Number) be of none, and yet be of the Father; be unbegotten, and begotten too? |
A52608 | Do they not say, that the self- same Substance that is in the Father, is also in the Son? |
A52608 | Do they think that Scripture is to be interpreted contrary to it self? |
A52608 | Doth not the Doctor prevaricate? |
A52608 | Hath he ascribed to the Divine Essence, Properties, which he calleth Persons, that are not in it? |
A52608 | How many Rarities hath he boxed up, in a very little compass? |
A52608 | I might also ask the Cardinal, why he hath so much better Thoughts of Athanasius, than of Moses, and the Prophets? |
A52608 | I would know, how two other Persons can contribute to make him a perfect God, who without them is Almighty? |
A52608 | If Mr. Hooker could err about the Trinity; What will the Fanaticks and Trimmers say? |
A52608 | Is it not a Contradiction, a manifold Contradiction? |
A52608 | Is it not as much as to say, he was before he was? |
A52608 | Is it so? |
A52608 | Or have the three Persons but one only self- same Understanding, Will and Energy in Number, as there is but one self- same Substance in Number? |
A52608 | Or, that Divine Wisdom has made the Belief of Contradictions necessary to Salvation? |
A52608 | Shall we say, Reverend Hooker has mistaken, and missed his Sons( who are all the Church of England) into an Error concerning the Trinity? |
A52608 | Some one may say, but is not John''s Substance unbegotten, in respect of John''s Son James; tho it was begotten by Peter? |
A52608 | There is but one God, say the Holy Scriptures; where can be the Ambiguity of such usual and plain Words? |
A52608 | Well, shall we say then, that the three Persons are three distinct Substances; is it not plain Tritheism? |
A52608 | What can be more unthought or silly, for instance, than this vain Elusion? |
A52608 | What shall we do here? |
A52608 | Which( I pray) is more honourable, to own a clear and necessary Truth; or to set one''s self to darken and to obstruct it? |
A52608 | Why do our Opposers choose to maintain such extravagant Paradoxes, rather than acknowledg so easy and natural a Truth, as the Unity of God? |
A52608 | Will they not be apt to pretend too, he may have erred in his profound Dissertations and Discourses for the Rites and Discipline of the Church? |
A52608 | doth he not say these things, only to establish Unitarianism, so much the more strongly? |
A52608 | or in these, There is one God, and there is none other but He? |
A52608 | or would he have said, Thou shalt have none other God but ME? |
A44670 | Against whom doth he write? |
A44670 | And consider whether by your Notion of a Person you forsake not the generality of them, who have gone, as to this point, under the repute of Orthodox? |
A44670 | And doth not this civil, or meerly respective Notion of a Person, the other being left, fall in with the Antitrinitarian? |
A44670 | And is an interpretation false, because the words can possibly be tortur''d unto some other sense? |
A44670 | And then I further enquire, If it were possible to him to unite two, would it not be as possible to unite three? |
A44670 | Are we therefore to think Infidelity or Despair do not disagree? |
A44670 | But I pass to the II d Enquiry: Whether some further distinction may not be admitted as possible? |
A44670 | But are these different conceptions true or false? |
A44670 | But if things of so congenerous a Nature be united, will not their distinction be lost in their union? |
A44670 | But is it therefore to be called irrational? |
A44670 | But what will be the consequence? |
A44670 | But you will say, suppose it be possible, to what purpose is all this? |
A44670 | Do therefore their Contraries agree to him? |
A44670 | Doth he not know they understand this Oneness in one sense, he, in another? |
A44670 | For the allowing of three somewhats in the divine nature( and what less could have been said?) |
A44670 | For the former we are at a certainty: But for the latter how do we know what the Original, Natural State of the Divine Being is, in this respect? |
A44670 | For tho''it is so generally acknowledged, doth he not know it is not so generally understood in the same sense? |
A44670 | How do we know but that there may be three in the Godhead that make but one God? |
A44670 | How remote is it from the supposed Trinity in the Godhead? |
A44670 | How then are we to conceive of the hypostatical union? |
A44670 | How will he prove any Copies we rely upon to be false? |
A44670 | If I had deny''d the simplicity of the Divine Nature, had the inference been just, that therefore I must grant a composition? |
A44670 | If false, why are they admitted? |
A44670 | If the first be possible, the next actual, what pretence is there to think the last impossible? |
A44670 | If therefore it be askt, What do we conceive under the Notion of God, but a necessary, spiritual Being? |
A44670 | If this were indeed so; doth what was true become false, because such a man hath said it? |
A44670 | Is it because he is pleased to suspect them? |
A44670 | Nor do I say that it must, I only say Do we know, or are we sure there is no sort of Plurality? |
A44670 | Or shall we say we clearly see that is not, which only we do not see? |
A44670 | That therefore there are three Deities? |
A44670 | They in such a sense as admits a Trinity, he in a sense that excludes it? |
A44670 | What Man knoweth the things of a Man, but the Spirit of a Man that is in him? |
A44670 | What incongruity is there in supposing, in this respect, as well as in many others, somewhat most peculiarly appropriate to the Being of God? |
A44670 | What will be the consequence? |
A44670 | Where novv is the coincidency? |
A44670 | Whether a Trinity in the Godhead be possible or no? |
A44670 | Why then is an unmade, uncreated union of three Spirits less conceivable as that which is to be presupposed to their mutual consciousness? |
A44670 | Will any man say two or three spirits united, being of the same nature, will mingle, be confounded, run into one another, and lose their distinction? |
A44670 | Will it not make us Unitarians only, as they affect to call themselves? |
A44670 | Will not the Notion of Person it self be much more unexceptionable, when it shall be supposed to have its own individual Nature? |
A44670 | You will here say further than what? |
A44670 | and what do we make of that? |
A44670 | and what would I have further? |
A44670 | i. e. If it were possible to him to unite a spirit and a body, why is it less possible to him to have united two spirits? |
A44670 | or what it may contain or comprehend in it, consistently with the Unity thereof; or so, but that it may still be but one Divine Being? |
A44670 | or what simplicity belongs to it? |
A44670 | or will it be Tritheism, and inconsistent with the acknowledged inviolable Unity of the Godhead? |
A44670 | or will we say his Wisdom and his Power are really the same thing? |
A44670 | shall we not believe it? |
A44670 | that therefore there are three Gods? |
A44670 | will it be any thing more contrary to such simplicity of the Divine Nature as is necessarily to be ascribed thereto? |

A32801 | A Son honoureth his Father — if then I be a Father where is mine honour? |
A32801 | All this have I proved by Wisdom: I said I will be wise, but it was farre from me; That which is farre off and exceeding deep, who can finde it out? |
A32801 | An etiam Abnegatio Christi quae fit corde in Ep ● cureismum prolapso sit peccatum in Spiritum Sanctum? |
A32801 | And how come we to be quickned to this Godly life? |
A32801 | And how is this Spirituall life maintained, but by the Supply of the Spirit of Iesus Christ? |
A32801 | But I said, how shall I put thee among the Children, and give thee a pleasant Land, a goodly Heritage of the hosts of Nations? |
A32801 | But we have cause to complaine of them, and Apostates, Idolaters, Atheists, and what not? |
A32801 | But what shall I gaine by this? |

A32801 | Cùm in terris nullam poterit reperiri Judicium, de coelo quaerendus est Judex; sed ut quid pulsamus ad coelum, cum habemus hic in Evangelio? |
A32801 | Dares any mortall man lay claime to these titles and this honour? |
A32801 | For how shall God put us among his Children, unless every one of us say unto him, my Father, my Father, I do obey thee, and will not depart from thee? |
A32801 | For to which of the Angels said God at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? |
A32801 | How can three be one? |
A32801 | I shall not enter into that sad dispute whether this Personal Property be Absolute or Relative? |
A32801 | If you ask Where God was before the World was made? |
A32801 | If you leave out the Divine Essence or Substance out of the definition, how is it a Consubstantial or Coessential Trinunity? |
A32801 | Is not this a grosse fallacy k, because of the imparity and infinite l inaequality? |
A32801 | It may be you will reply as Hazael did, Am I a dog that I should be accessary to any grievous or unrighteous Decree? |
A32801 | Let him consider his own confession[ these three] what are these three? |
A32801 | May we not safely conclude from hence that the Spirit is a distinct Person, Another Person from the Father and the Son? |
A32801 | Moreover, if the Father have not a divine and eternal Son how is he a divine and eternal Father? |
A32801 | No, that he doth abominate: are they three Accidents, no, that is absurd; are they three substances? |

A40444 | And what Men said of him? |
A40444 | And what is it nothing to Christianity, that we have several degrees of Glory as an Encouragement, set in our prospect and search above the Heathen? |
A40444 | And what, Sir, do these Wiles look as from God? |
A40444 | And what, Sir, does this look, as if there was a coequality to be represented? |
A40444 | And what, Sir, is not this Insolence? |
A40444 | And what, Sir, was it out of Charity that they forbore to call the Trinitarians Hereticks? |
A40444 | And what? |
A40444 | And who shall deny you this Honour? |
A40444 | But methinks I hear you object to me, What Faith is necessary then, if this be not? |
A40444 | But what benefit will these Texts do you? |
A40444 | But what need I repeat more of these proofs? |
A40444 | But you say, This is a Mystery: And pray who has authoris''d it for one? |
A40444 | But you''ll say, here is some colour for the Trinity: And what, is there not then as much sor Transubstantiation? |
A40444 | Can any thing under infinite Wisdom Rule the World? |
A40444 | Can here be any pretence then that the Godhead suffer''d? |
A40444 | Does Baptism shew Worship? |
A40444 | Does not the Sun do the same thing in the Sensible, and Vegetable World? |
A40444 | Give me leave to advise you a little, Sir, if you are resolv''d to follow Tradition: Be not partial in it: Why should you act by halves? |
A40444 | If so, why may not my Construction of it, agreeable to Scripture- Interpretation, be as good as yours? |
A40444 | Is it that you think to storm and brave us out of our Cause; or that you are sure you only are in the right? |
A40444 | Is not the whole Foundation of your Argument rotten? |
A40444 | Is this clear like a heavenly Truth? |
A40444 | No, we''ll turn the havock of the first Commandment justly, in Contradictions upon you; we need not ask with Nicodemus, How can these things be? |
A40444 | Not that we beg it neither: But is it generous, first to fetter a Man, and then challenge him? |
A40444 | Or are you resolv''d to trust more to the Council of Nice, because not so many? |
A40444 | Or were the Copy of it lost, who would be able exactly to hammer it out? |
A40444 | Or what, Sir, is your Eye evil, because God is good? |
A40444 | Or would you have him damn them to support your Hypothesis? |
A40444 | Page 153, you say, We ought not to force the Scriptures to preconceiv''d Notions: But what? |
A40444 | Pray who can agree in this Mystery? |
A40444 | Pray, Sir, what is it you mean by these Triumphs? |
A40444 | That Faith which you say requires both Forehead, and Forgery to deny it, page 44, when you should say to maintain it? |
A40444 | That at the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow — and that every tongue shall confess,( But what?) |
A40444 | That the son of man hath power on earth, to forgive sins: But what then? |
A40444 | What looks more impertinent and absurd? |
A40444 | What shall I say? |
A40444 | What shall a meer Man be exalted above Angels? |
A40444 | What wo nt you make us no allowances in your Thoughts? |
A40444 | What, a Coequal? |
A40444 | Would you have God a Devil, create Men meerly for Damnation? |
A40444 | Yes surely, if he were first above them, and laid aside his Being only for a time, and in obedience to his God: And what say you? |
A40444 | Yes surely; But if they are, why do they stille us, and our Books, is it not that they fear our Truths? |
A40444 | You had as good say, she has no concern in Language; And pray in what has she more? |
A40444 | is not this Mystery such? |
A40444 | or that if you had the worst Cause, you could defend it well? |
A40444 | s.n.,[ London? |
A59791 | 1st, I desire to know, whether he thinks the Doctrine of the Trinity to be defensible or not? |
A59791 | 3dly, How are Atheists concerned in the Disputes of the Trinity? |
A59791 | And is it not better that such Pamphlets should be in an hundred hands with an Answer, than in five hands without one? |
A59791 | And now can any Man tell, what Opinion this Melancholy Stander- by has of the Doctrines of the Trinity, and Incarnation? |
A59791 | And what is the hurt of this? |
A59791 | And when the Faith is publickly opposed and scorned in Printed Libels, ought it not to be as publickly defended? |
A59791 | And whether Christ and his Apostles intended to teach any more? |
A59791 | But I would desire this Author to tell me, whether we must believe Fundamentals with, or without Reason? |
A59791 | But did his Socinian Friends, who were such busie Factors for the Cause, tell him so? |
A59791 | But if these Dissentions be so great a blemish to the Reformation, whose Fault is it? |
A59791 | But is there no danger that the Church may be flung out of possession, and lose the Faith, if she do n''t defend it? |
A59791 | But it will be said, What shall we do? |
A59791 | But let them be never so good Men, as some of the Heathen Philosophers were, must we therefore tamely suffer them to pervert the Faith? |
A59791 | But pray, why should we not write against the Socinians? |
A59791 | But what is that? |
A59791 | But when this fit time is come( for I know not what he means by a fit place) what shall we do then? |
A59791 | But why is it so unseasonable in this Juncture? |
A59791 | Can we certainly learn from Scripture, Whether Christ be a God Incarnate, or a mere Man? |
A59791 | Did they print them, that no body might read them? |
A59791 | Do we then deny, that there are Three Persons and One God? |
A59791 | Does he think that they are no Christians, and ought not to be concerned for common Christianity? |
A59791 | For must we believe the Words or the Sense of Scripture? |
A59791 | However, were it so; is there no regard to be had to Hereticks themselves? |
A59791 | I would ask any man who talks at this rate about a Latitude of Faith, Whether there be any more than One True Christian Faith? |
A59791 | If ever it will be so, why is it not so now? |
A59791 | If it be not defensible, why does he believe it? |
A59791 | If this never will be Christian and Wholesome, what else is to be done to Hereticks in fit time and place, unless he intends to Physick''em? |
A59791 | If we can not, Why should we believe either? |
A59791 | Is not every Divine Person who is God, a Mind, and an Eternal Mind? |
A59791 | Is not the Eternal Spirit, which searcheth the deep things of God, as the Spirit of a Man knoweth the things of a Man, a Mind? |
A59791 | Is not the substantial Word and Wisdom of God a Mind? |
A59791 | Is not this their proper Work and Business? |
A59791 | Is this an Age to resolve our Faith into Church Authority? |
A59791 | Must we be afraid of defending the Faith of the Trinity, lest Atheists should mock at it, who already mock at the Being of a God? |
A59791 | Must we renounce Christianity, to keep out Popery? |
A59791 | Must we then turn all Socinians, to preserve the Reformation? |
A59791 | No, The Adversaries to the received Doctrine( Why not to the true Faith?) |
A59791 | No, our business is to prove it, and explain and vindicate it? |
A59791 | Or does he think, that the Defences made by Trinitarians expose the Faith more than the Objections of Socinians? |
A59791 | Or has Christ and his Apostles left it at liberty to believe what we like, and to let the rest alone? |
A59791 | Or how are we concerned to avoid scandalizing Atheists, who believe that there is no God at all? |
A59791 | Or whether they did not intend, That all Christians should be obliged to believe this One Faith? |
A59791 | Or would he himself believe such absurd Doctrines as they represent the Trinity in Unity to be, merely upon Church Authority? |
A59791 | Ought not they to satisfie themselves, that there is no force in the Objections, which are made against the Faith? |
A59791 | Pray what hurt have they done? |
A59791 | Renounce the Faith of the Trinity, for the sake of Peace? |
A59791 | Theirs who dissent from the Truth, or theirs who defend it? |
A59791 | To believe that the Eternal Word was made Flesh; or that Christ was no more than a Man, who had no being before he was born of the Virgin Mary? |
A59791 | Was there ever such a Reason thought of as this? |
A59791 | Well: What shall we do then? |
A59791 | Were they not dispersed in every Corner, and boasted of in every Coffee- house, before any Answer appeared? |
A59791 | What Faith is that which can subsist without a Foundation? |
A59791 | What Faith must we contend for, if not for Fundamentals? |
A59791 | What else can we dispute for, when Foundations are overturned? |
A59791 | What else is worth disputing? |
A59791 | What is the meaning of that Apostolical Precept, To contend earnestly for the Faith? |
A59791 | What purer Reformers were these? |
A59791 | What shall Christians do then, when Atheists, Infidels, and Hereticks, strike at the very Foundations of their Faith? |
A59791 | What shall we have left of Christianity, if we must either cast away, or not defend every thing, which Atheists will mock at? |
A59791 | What? |
A59791 | When Hereticks dispute against the Faith, must we be afraid of disputing for it, for fear of making a Controversie of Fundamentals? |
A59791 | Whether we must take Fundamentals for granted, and receive them with an implicite Faith, or know for what Reason we believe them? |
A59791 | Why does he let St. Austin escape, from whom the Master of the Sentences borrowed most of his Distinctions and Subtilties? |
A59791 | Why does he not accuse the Ancient Fathers and Councils, from whom the Schoolmen learnt these Terms? |
A59791 | Will he then give us leave to write and dispute against such Hereticks? |
A59791 | Will it ever be most Christian and most Wholesome, to dispute for the Faith against Heresie? |
A59791 | Will the World think that we are all of a mind, because there is disputing only on one side? |
A59791 | With respect to the Doctrine of the Trinity and Incarnation? |
A59791 | how long must we be silent? |
A41434 | And is there such a difference of men between themselves, comparing one with another? |
A41434 | And to what can the regeneration or new birth of man, be better resembled or compared, then to the creation? |
A41434 | Born in a Stable? |
A41434 | Born in a Stable? |
A41434 | Born in a Stable? |
A41434 | But here if, I shall further demand what is an infinite? |
A41434 | But how should the whole Deity be in every Person? |
A41434 | But if this Deity be wholly imparted, yet then how should it still remain whole and entire? |
A41434 | But supposing the three Persons in one Deity, why should the Word be made flesh, the Father and the Spirit excluded? |
A41434 | Canst thou conceive how all the contrary Elements should be combined in one compound subject? |
A41434 | Do we not here see how all the three Persons did concur as in one nature, so in the same outward act of Creation? |
A41434 | Do ye think that what the Church shall determin in this and other mysteries, that it proceeds from the wit and invention of man? |
A41434 | E: G: If I should aske, whether every thing should be eternall, or that there should be but only one eternall ● …? |
A41434 | Here we have an Understanding and a Word, but can this Understanding subsist without a Will? |
A41434 | How long, how long, O Lord, wilt thou suffer thy Church to be thus afflicted? |
A41434 | If then man be like unto God, why may not he reflect upon God? |
A41434 | Or if you take the Elixir of bodies, have not the Chymists found out that all bodies consist of Sal, Sulphur, Mercury? |
A41434 | Quae utilitas in sanguine nostro dum descendimus in aeternam corruptionem? |
A41434 | Secondly, we confess Gods omnipotency; but how shall this appear, unless there should be some infinite Creature? |
A41434 | See you not God in all his works, and yet the works still continuing and subsisting in their own kinde? |
A41434 | That God should put man to a tryall, we must not call him to an account, how shall the Vessell say to the Potter, Why mad''st thou me thus? |
A41434 | The best of them the high Priests, the Scribes, and the Levites sent to John Baptist to know, whether he were that expected Messias or not? |
A41434 | Then what is the wit and understanding of man, but meer foolishness, in respect of Gods wisdome? |
A41434 | Think you that God would not reserve some mystery for his Son to reveal, more then ever was known to the Prophets? |
A41434 | Thus how many things are we bound to believe, whereof we can not understand the manner and means? |
A41434 | Thus in all naturall works God useth meanes, and why not in supernaturals? |
A41434 | Usquequo Domine irasceris? |
A41434 | Usquequo Domine? |
A41434 | Usquequo? |
A41434 | We are not to demand, why sooner or later he took not our flesh? |
A41434 | What charity did we shew to our Tenants, in accepting such small Fines? |
A41434 | When the Priests and Levits sent unto him, to know whether he were the Messias? |
A41434 | Why should God reveal himself to the later Prophets, more then he did to Moses? |
A41434 | Why should God speak of himself after the manner and fashion of men? |
A41434 | accendetur velut ignis furor tuus? |
A41434 | and if such be the effects of our understanding and our love, then what may we conceive of the understanding and love of God? |
A41434 | and these necessarily, and inseparably knit and united together? |
A41434 | and what greater then the Trinity, which neither men nor Angels can comprehend, and both men and Angels must adore? |
A41434 | do not all qualities admit of three degrees of Comparison? |
A41434 | do you ascribe no more to the cloven tongues, that fell upon the Apostles, whereby they were replenished with Gods Spirit? |
A41434 | if we have it not of our own, where shall we borrow it? |
A41434 | is it not true in all Homogeneall bodies? |
A41434 | is not the most perfect number the number of Three? |
A41434 | is there not an Eye- bright which serves in stead of Spectacles to clear the sight? |
A41434 | or by his carnall uncleanness, giving way to his appetite, and gluttony, he should fall down to the sensuality of Beasts? |
A41434 | or whether man subsisting of flesh, and spirit, which of these should be predominant? |
A41434 | or why should God by Abraham institute Circumcision, which was unknown unto Noah? |
A41434 | or why should Moses institute Sacrifices, and such a number of Ceremonies, which were never discovered to Abraham? |
A41434 | quoties ludibria experti cogebamur fugere ante faciem inimici,& in perpetuo pavore versari? |
A41434 | shall the body and the flesh be excluded? |
A41434 | then why may not other fruits and plants, refresh the understanding, and by generating good spirits inlighten it and quicken the apprehension? |
A41434 | what is the length of mans age, but less then a minute, in respect of Gods eternity? |
A41434 | what is the wealth of man, but beggery, in respect of Gods treasures? |
A41434 | where is the injury, when the party offended shall satisfie? |
A41434 | whether they were dumbe, or spake a language? |
A41434 | who will be bound for us, or become our surety? |
A59810 | And how does this change the Soul''s manner of subsisting, any more than the Body changes its manner of subsisting, when it is naked and cloathed? |
A59810 | And if the Soul be more perfect in a State of Separation, is not this a more perfect manner of Subsistence? |
A59810 | And is not an infinite and eternal Mind a Person? |
A59810 | And is not the Perfection of Nature, a natural Perfection? |
A59810 | And is not this so? |
A59810 | And what does he mean by the same Person, which the Man himself was, while living? |
A59810 | Are not all these Accounts, much more chargeable with Tritheism or Sabellianism? |
A59810 | Are they not English? |
A59810 | But are not Three infinite intelligent Persons, as much Three absolute, simple Beings and Essences, as Three Minds? |
A59810 | But does the Dean any where deny, That the Man, as consisting of Soul and Body, is a Humane Person? |
A59810 | But does the Dean pretend, That his Explication leaves nothing Mysterious in the Doctrine of the Trinity in Unity? |
A59810 | But does this profound Philosopher indeed think, that the Body either sins or suffers? |
A59810 | But if a Mind were not a Substance, what could it be else? |
A59810 | But is not a Humane Body part of the Person to whom it belongs? |
A59810 | But is not the Perfection of our Graces, the Perfection of Humane Nature? |
A59810 | But suppose Three Persons were Three distinct Substances, inseparably united in One: What then? |
A59810 | But the Soul by its original Designation is related to the Body; What? |
A59810 | But what are Three Relatives? |
A59810 | But what is this Compound which the Soul is essentially related to? |
A59810 | But what is this Homoousion, or Sameness of Nature? |
A59810 | Can there be a Trinity in Unity, unless there be a real and substantial Trinity? |
A59810 | Can they be One before they are Mutually- conscious, even in the order of conceiving it? |
A59810 | Can they be One before they are in one another? |
A59810 | Do they signifie nothing? |
A59810 | Does he then mean, that it is essential to the Soul to live in an earthly Body? |
A59810 | Does the Father will any thing? |
A59810 | For does the Man and his Person die? |
A59810 | For if a Natural Self- conscious Sensation makes a Spirit One with it self, why should not a natural Mutual- conscious Sensation unite Three into One? |
A59810 | How is that? |
A59810 | Is it the same thing to be a part of the whole, and to be an Ingredient in a Compound? |
A59810 | Is the Father his Paternity, the Son his Filiation, and the Holy Ghost his Procession? |
A59810 | Is the Soul and Body mixed and blended together to make a Man? |
A59810 | Is there no difference between being a reasonable Creature, and being Peter or Iohn? |
A59810 | Is this Sameness of Nature then one single or singular Nature, which has but one single Subsistence? |
A59810 | Nothing, which we can not comprehend? |
A59810 | Now I desire to know by what Name you would call such a living Image? |
A59810 | Or ca n''t he understand them? |
A59810 | Or if he will call this a Difference, as if to differ in number and in Substance or Nature were the same thing? |
A59810 | Or is there any other mutual In- being of Minds, but Mutual- consciousness? |
A59810 | Pray what hurt have these seemingly innocent Words done? |
A59810 | Since then here is no Innovation made in the Faith, nor any alteration of the least term in it, what is the Fault? |
A59810 | That as a natural Self- consciousness makes One natural Person, so natural Mutual- consciousness should make a naral Trinity in Unity? |
A59810 | That it is odd and unnatural, that the Soul should live in the Body and out of the Body, and then return into the Body again? |
A59810 | That it is the Person that acts is certain; but where did he learn, That Personality is the Principle of all Action? |
A59810 | That they must be One, before they can know themselves to be One? |
A59810 | That, as the Ancients used to speak, this is no longer a wonderful distinction, and a wonderful Union? |
A59810 | To be One? |
A59810 | To be so? |
A59810 | Well, but the Soul has a natural Aptitude to live in a Body; and so it has to live out of the Body; and what then? |
A59810 | What does he mean by the Soul''s being an Ingredient in a Compound? |
A59810 | What does he mean by this? |
A59810 | What is that to the purpose? |
A59810 | What is the Divine Essence and Substance, but an infinite and eternal Mind? |
A59810 | What then? |
A59810 | What will he make of God at last, when the Divine Essence is an Attribute, and a Divine Person a meer Mode? |
A59810 | Whether Iohn would not as much feel himself to be Iohn, and Peter to be Peter as ever they did? |
A59810 | Whether Three Persons who feel themselves to be themselves, and not to be each other, are not Three really distinct Persons? |
A59810 | Why so? |
A59810 | Will it not hereby be much more apprehensible, how One of the Persons( as the common way of speaking is) should be Incarnate, and not the other Two? |
A59810 | Will not the Notion of Person it self be much more unexceptionable, when it shall be supposed to have its own individual Nature? |
A59810 | Will the Animadverter then venture to attribute any Personality to the Body, as he must do, if he makes it part of the Personality? |
A59810 | a Distinction without Separation, and an Unity without Singularity, and without Confusion? |
A59810 | and where is this Man that the Soul is essentially related to? |
A59810 | are not the Sun, its Light and Splendor, as much Three, but not so much One, as Three Conscious Minds? |
A59810 | not the Body I hope, for the Body is no more the Compound, than the Soul: Is it then the Man? |
A59810 | or who calls this the incompleat and the compleat State of the Soul? |
A59810 | or, when united to a Body, affirm, that the Soul is the whole Person? |
A59810 | so that it can not live without it, and never should live without it? |
A59810 | the Divine Nature repeated in its Image without multiplication? |
A59810 | — Will it be Tritheism and inconsistent with the acknowledged invioluble Unity of the Godhead? |
A59810 | † Deinde quis audeat dicere patrem non intelligere per semetipsum, sed per filium? |
A62586 | 10 How it can be proved that God hath Revealed it? |
A62586 | 2 What is Faith or Belief in General? |
A62586 | 5 Why we believe the Doctrine of the Trinity? |
A62586 | A seasonable vindication of the B. Trinity being an answer to this question, why do you believe the doctrine of the Trinity? |
A62586 | And how can there be Three peculiar Substances, and yet but One entire and indivisible Substance? |
A62586 | And if there are Three Persons which have the Divine Nature attributed to them; what must we do in this Case? |
A62586 | And if these Three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are Three Gods, is it not a Contradiction to say, there is but One God? |
A62586 | And is it not equally absurd to Declare, That One Man is these Three Men? |
A62586 | And must I renounce the Trinity, because I reject Transubstantiation? |
A62586 | And then, say they, are not these Two Doctrines loaded with the like Absurdities and Contradictions? |
A62586 | And, What Doctrines concerning it are proposed to our Belief? |
A62586 | Are not Peter, James, and John, Three distinct Humane Persons? |
A62586 | Are not Peter, James, and John, Three distinct different Men? |
A62586 | Are not here Three Gods? |
A62586 | Are not the Divine Persons Infinite, as well as the Divine Nature? |
A62586 | Are not the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost( according to the Athanasian Creed) Three distinct different Divine Persons? |
A62586 | Are there no Mysteries in Religion? |
A62586 | Are they not Three Almighties? |
A62586 | Are they not Three Gods? |
A62586 | As to the First; Is not the Trinity as Incomprehensible as Transubstantiation, and as such equally to be rejected? |
A62586 | Being an Answer to this Question, Why do you believe the Doctrine of the Trinity? |
A62586 | Being an Answer to this Question, Why do you believe the Doctrine of the Trinity? |
A62586 | But are there not several other kinds of Assent, besides Faith, by which the Soul doth receive and embrace whatsoever appeareth to be true? |
A62586 | But can these Men of Sense and Reason think, that the Point in Controversy ever was, Whether in Numbers, One could be Three, or Three One? |
A62586 | But how can these Unitarians pretend, that the Doctrine of the Trinity is contrary to Reason? |
A62586 | But in what manner doth his Lordship propose to Defend it? |
A62586 | But is it not trifling to prove a Doctrine by Scripture, which( as the Socinians pretend) is contrary to Reason? |
A62586 | But is there nothing further Objected against the Doctrine of the B. Trinity, wherein I may be instructed by you? |
A62586 | But the Question is; Whether that Substance must be divided, or not? |
A62586 | But what of all this? |
A62586 | But what saith St. Augustin to this? |
A62586 | But what then? |
A62586 | But what''s this to the purpose? |
A62586 | But when you have reckon''d them, what is it you have been counting? |
A62586 | But wherein lies this Impossibility? |
A62586 | But who affirms, There are Three Gods? |
A62586 | Can One whole entire indivisible Substance be actually divided into Three Substances? |
A62586 | Do they suppose the Divine Nature capable of such Division and Separation by Individuals, as Human Nature is? |
A62586 | Do they think there is no Difference between an infinitely perfect Being, and such finite limited Creatures as Individuals among Men are? |
A62586 | Do you believe Transubstantiation? |
A62586 | Do you think me such a Fool, that I can not count, One, Two, and Three? |
A62586 | Filium quem dicitis, Deum dicitis? |
A62586 | First; Let us examine, whether there be equal Reason for the Belief of these Two Doctrines? |
A62586 | For is not this great skill in these Matters, to make such a Parallel between three Persons in the Godhead, and Peter, James and John? |
A62586 | For what reason? |
A62586 | Had he no more skill in Arithmetick, than to say, there are Three, and yet but One? |
A62586 | Have you nothing further to say in this matter? |
A62586 | How can any Man of Sense be satisfied with such kind of Arguments as these? |
A62586 | How do you prove there is not? |
A62586 | How then can you pretend to prove a Trinity of Persons from the Scriptures? |
A62586 | How then do you prove that God hath Revealed it? |
A62586 | How then is this Assent which we call Faith, specified and distinguished from those other kinds of Assent? |
A62586 | How, and in what manner have they attempted to prove it? |
A62586 | However,( may these Unitarians reply) Have you not found it in the Athanasian Creed? |
A62586 | Is it not a Contradiction to affirm, That Peter, James and John, being Three Men, are but One Man? |
A62586 | Is it not a Contradiction to say, That Peter is James, or that James and John are Peter? |
A62586 | Is it then your Opinion, that this Hypothesis, of Three distinct Substances in the Trinity, can scarce be Defended? |
A62586 | Is this Explication of the Trinity, by Three distinct Infinite Minds and Substances, Orthodox, or not? |
A62586 | Must we cast off the Unity of the Divine Essence? |
A62586 | Must we reject those Scriptures which attribute Divinity to the Son and Holy Ghost, as well as to the Father? |
A62586 | Non tres Omnipotentes? |
A62586 | Now what Reply hath his Lordship made to this? |
A62586 | Now who should not scruple an Opinion perfectly parallel with Transubstantiation, and equally fruitful in Incongruities and Contradictions? |
A62586 | Or how the Parts of Matter hold together? |
A62586 | P. 1 What is meant by this Word Trinity, and what Doctrines concerning it are proposed to our Belief? |
A62586 | Q. Doth not the Athanasian Creed? |
A62586 | Q. Pray let me hear it? |
A62586 | Quid sunt isti Tres? |
A62586 | Spiritum Sanctum quem dicitis, Deum dicitis? |
A62586 | St. Augustin mentions it as such when he saith; The Infidels sometimes ask us, What do you call the Father? |
A62586 | WHY do you believe the Doctrine of the Trinity? |
A62586 | Well then, if the Trinity implies no less Contradiction than Transubstantiation; why ca n''t we say, that it can not be contained in Scripture? |
A62586 | What Answer therefore can you return to this? |
A62586 | What Grounds have they for such a Charge as this, of Contradiction and Impossibility? |
A62586 | What are these Three? |
A62586 | What do you mean by this word Trinity? |
A62586 | What is Faith, or Belief in General? |
A62586 | What is it to be Credible? |
A62586 | What is it? |
A62586 | What is meant by this word Assent? |
A62586 | What is the Formal Object of Faith? |
A62586 | What is the Material Object of Faith? |
A62586 | What is this Object of Faith? |
A62586 | What the Holy Ghost? |
A62586 | What the Son? |
A62586 | What then is that kind of Assent, which is called Faith? |
A62586 | Where hath God told us, That there are Three distinct Persons, in the same undivided Divine Essence and Nature? |
A62586 | Who doubts it? |
A62586 | Who is he that comprehends either the Structure, or the Reason of the Powers of Seminal Forms or Seeds? |
A62586 | Who revived this old Objection, and how came it now to be brought again upon the Stage? |
A62586 | Why do you repeat the word Credible, and say Credible as Credible? |
A62586 | Why then are new Explications started, and Disputes raised and carried on so warmly about them? |
A62586 | Will men never learn to distinguish between Numbers and the Nature of Things? |
A62586 | Will you not allow me to believe the Trinity, unless I will believe Transubstantiation? |
A62586 | Will you please to explain this more fully, that I may better understand it? |
A62586 | non tres Dii? |
A40088 | 3. Who are they that determine any Notion to be true, while they can not Conceive it to be so? |
A40088 | 7,& c. Canst thou by Searching find out God? |
A40088 | And He that formed the Eye shall not he see? |
A40088 | And I Answer, To what purpose should a Power( or Authority) be longer retained, than while there is any occasion for the Exercise thereof? |
A40088 | And are not all the Glorious Angels Commanded by the Father to Worship His Son? |
A40088 | And can this Consist with your having Asserted, that''t is a Contradiction to say, that there can be more than One Infinite Being? |
A40088 | And he saith, that this Proposition is self- evident; as who sees not that so it is? |
A40088 | And if he be not So daring, with what face could he object against the possibility of a Necessary Emanation from God, because we have no Idea thereof? |
A40088 | And now comes a Third Question, Does the Idea of an infinitely Perfect Being, Evidently imply the Necessary Emanation of another Being? |
A40088 | And the Word was made Flesh,& c. Do not these words at least seem to speak the same thing? |
A40088 | And what think you of those words which begin St Johns Gospel? |
A40088 | And when I have asked, What is a mere Imaginary thing? |
A40088 | And whereas he saith, It is not Plainly revealed whether the H. Ghost be a Person or no? |
A40088 | Are the Sun and Light the self- same thing? |
A40088 | As to be able to Comprehend Gods Nature and Glorious Attributes? |
A40088 | But I am so Impertinent as to ask again, Why they ought not? |
A40088 | But I ask him, how Self- Existence can be Separated from those Powers? |
A40088 | But can I need to mind him, that our Hypothesis will not bear a Separation between the Divine Persons, and only asserts a Distinction betwen them? |
A40088 | But how does he Endeavour to prevent my troubling his Questions, with Confused Empty Jargon? |
A40088 | But how does he prove this? |
A40088 | But how is this Proposition Point- blank Contrary to my foregoing ones? |
A40088 | But how may the Learned Socrates shame the Self- conceited Dogmatizers? |
A40088 | But how will he allay the Fury I have Expressed in those words, or rather in that one word? |
A40088 | But is there no difference betwixt Union and Identity or self samenefs? |
A40088 | But then I ask what is Space? |
A40088 | But then say I, will you pretend, Sir, to have any the least Idea, How the Divine Substance can do this? |
A40088 | But what if I grant him, that that Light which was Created before the Sun, the Sun was not the cause of? |
A40088 | But what if I say That this is as much needs to be proved, as that which it is brought to prove? |
A40088 | But what tho''the Trinitarians differ in some Particulars, in their Explication of the Trinity, so long as they agree in the main Substance? |
A40088 | But why must I be such a Devillish Persecutor merely for one word? |
A40088 | But why so I beseech him? |
A40088 | But( on second thoughts) I will undertake to Answer it, when he shall be pleased to Answer me this, How did your self come into Being? |
A40088 | But, Sir, did you ever meet with such Triflng? |
A40088 | But, Sir, will this Answer do? |
A40088 | Can a Being that depends on God, be properly said to be Essentially that God, on whom it depends? |
A40088 | Can our Author in his Cool thoughts imagine it is? |
A40088 | Can the Divine Nature be Communicated to a Being, when less than all Perfections are Communicated to it? |
A40088 | Canst thou find out The Almighty to Perfection? |
A40088 | Cry you, Who gave you leave thus to ask me Questions, and then to answer them as you list for me? |
A40088 | Deeper than Hell, what Canst thou know? |
A40088 | Does it follow thence, that the Sun is the cause of no Light? |
A40088 | Doth not this kind of Talk Suppose, that he takes the three Divine Persons( if he thinks two of them are any thing) to be Corporeal Substances? |
A40088 | Doth the Divine Nature Comprehend all Perfections; or can it want one or two of the Chiefest, and be still the same Divine Nature? |
A40088 | For you may as well ask, why God can not do a Contradiction? |
A40088 | For, First, Who hath so hard, or so large a Head, as to find only the Ways of God incomprehensible to him? |
A40088 | He asks, What greater Absurdity there can be, than that Beings which have Infinite Unlimited Perfections, should want some Perfections? |
A40088 | He is Perfectly Amazed at my distinguishing betwixt Intelligible and Comprehensible: I ask Why? |
A40088 | He that Planted the Ear shall He not hear? |
A40088 | How comes Boldness all o th''suddain to be such a Crime with this Gentleman? |
A40088 | How comes that Proposition by such a Remarque as this? |
A40088 | How the Father can be greater than the Son and H. Spirit, and be the only Good, when they have the same Unlimited Power and Goodness? |
A40088 | How well was this Flurt bestowed on me, since he knew what a Veneration I Exprest for those Divines, in my last Proposition? |
A40088 | Is God Almighty bound to give us Ideas of the way and manner how any thing can be Produced by him? |
A40088 | Is not also the individual Nature of Every living Creature indivisible? |
A40088 | Is there not a real distinction between our Souls and Bodys, tho''United so closely as that he can not conceive how closely, nor any Man else? |
A40088 | It is as High as Heaven, what Canst thou do? |
A40088 | It may be replyed to this Man, Who is he that multiplyeth words without knowledge? |
A40088 | Now what faith your Friend to this? |
A40088 | Or how what we know does Exist is Produced? |
A40088 | Or of Every thing that He hath Produced? |
A40088 | Or that He is in His own nature Indifferent to every thing? |
A40088 | Or to give us Ideas of Every thing that he can Produce? |
A40088 | Or( to speak a little Learnedly) What is the Ratio formalis of Space? |
A40088 | Or, What is Substance Considered abstractedly from all Accidents? |
A40088 | Or, What is the Modus how any thing comes to be what it is, or to be at all? |
A40088 | Proposition? |
A40088 | Put up again thy Sword,& c. Thinkest thou that I can not now Pray unto my Father, and He shall presently give me more than Twelve Legions of Angels? |
A40088 | Secondly, How can he say that Jesus Christ desired not Divine Honours to be paid to Him? |
A40088 | Section? |
A40088 | Then demand I, What kind of thing is Emptiness? |
A40088 | Was God Conscious to the Emanation? |
A40088 | Was He sensible of the Necessity? |
A40088 | Well, suppose this, is it impossible for a thing to be, of which we sorry Mortals have no Idea? |
A40088 | Well, what means he by the very Spirit of the Church? |
A40088 | Why may not one Infinite, as well as one Finite, proceed from another? |
A40088 | and if it can not, What does this saying Signifie? |
A40088 | can not this[ Intolerable] bear a more merciful interpretation? |
A40088 | is it so indeed? |
A71108 | ( which is the only Place he can mean) I expresly say, Relatives can not exist but at the same time? |
A71108 | 53. where he says to Peter, Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve Legions of Angels? |
A71108 | 56. of his third Defence, defines Person by Substance? |
A71108 | 62. having necessary Existence, be said more to depend on the Father for their continuance in Being, than the Father on them? |
A71108 | And did ever any but our Author join necessary Existence and Dependence together? |
A71108 | And does not the Light of Nature demonstrate, that one God is but one eternal necessary Being? |
A71108 | And for reply says, I appeal to that little Sense he has left himself, whether Power alone be God exclusively of Wisdom and Goodness? |
A71108 | And how did I compel him to treat me( as he suspects he has done) with too much Freedom? |
A71108 | And if the more excellent Nature of the Father be not another sort of Nature than the less excellent Nature of the Son, who can help it? |
A71108 | And is this all he knows of the Manner how they are one? |
A71108 | And what Account has he given of the Manner? |
A71108 | And what is the Emanation of the Rays, which he so much insists on, but their separation from the Body of the Sun? |
A71108 | And why might not God cause a thing to be voluntarily as well as necessarily from Eternity, since in both Cases Being is equally bestow''d? |
A71108 | But can there be a real and not a real distinction between them? |
A71108 | But do Clothes and Exercise by causing Heat, Produce a Collection of such Particles? |
A71108 | But how can they that were, as he says, boundless and infinite from Eternity, be capable of any farther Production? |
A71108 | But is not this disowning and owning three inadequate Gods? |
A71108 | But supposing him somewhere, pray to what purpose? |
A71108 | But the Defender to prove his assertion asks, How can God be in those Spaces fill''d with Body? |
A71108 | But what is kindling, but separating the Parts of any thing one from another, by a violent rapid Motion? |
A71108 | But where is the Difference between Infinite and his own term unlimited? |
A71108 | Can one and the same God be said to concur with himself? |
A71108 | Can two Suns( which is a more proper Simily for equal Natures, than the Sun and the Rays) emane from one Sun? |
A71108 | Does not the one signify without Bounds, as the other without End? |
A71108 | Does the Divine Nature comprehend all Perfections, or can it want one or two of the chiefest, and be still the same Divine Nature? |
A71108 | He saith he collected the Substance of it: I believe what he thought the Substance; but how shall the Reader judg of that? |
A71108 | He that has given a Generative Power to the meanest of Creatures, shall he not have the same Power himself? |
A71108 | He that hath planted the Ear, shall he not hear? |
A71108 | How can we form Propositions of Things out of the reach of our Knowledg? |
A71108 | How could an Unitarian in more direct Terms deny a Trinity? |
A71108 | How may the Learned Socrates shame the self- conceited Dogmatizers? |
A71108 | How much rather would I be modest Socrates, than a Christian who so leans to his own or his Party''s Understanding? |
A71108 | If I studied to nick him with his own Raillery on me, here I might ask, Who told him so? |
A71108 | If so, would it not then be a Mockery to pray to his Father for that which he had in his own Power before he pray''d for''t? |
A71108 | If the Substance of the Father be every where, How can the Substance of the Son be every where too, at the same time, and after the same manner? |
A71108 | If they are not, is it not possible to join other Idea''s to them, which are manifestly inconsistent with them? |
A71108 | If they are, why does he use such words? |
A71108 | Is God bound to give us Idea''s, of what he can or has produc''d? |
A71108 | Is it impossible for a thing to be of which we sorry Mortals have no Idea? |
A71108 | Is it in another World? |
A71108 | Is it not directly agaisnt the Honour of the Father, who is God in the highest Sense, to suppose him but a concurring God? |
A71108 | Is it not first asserting that one has it, then denying it by saying another has it? |
A71108 | My 3d Question, Can a Being that depends on God, be properly said to be essentially that God on whom it depends? |
A71108 | Now if Necessity of Existence be essential but to One, I pray, Sir, what will become of his Lordship''s necessary Emanations? |
A71108 | Or can that which has a Beginning be from Eternity, which necessarily supposeth no Beginning? |
A71108 | Or how could it be possible( they being alike for Weight, Colour, Duration,& c.) to distinguish them? |
A71108 | Or must not that which is emaned into being, sometime or other begin to be? |
A71108 | That the Name of God in Scripture is ever to be understood in that highest Sense? |
A71108 | The End for which the Unity of the Deity was ever asserted: What does he mean by this very odd Phrase? |
A71108 | To suppose two infinite Spaces or Durations, must we not necessarily suppose an end or limit to one, before the other can commence? |
A71108 | To what end is such an Harangue? |
A71108 | To which he replies, How does our Author already run Taplash? |
A71108 | Upon which he asks, Whether the Rays are not as old as the Sun? |
A71108 | What can be a more manifest Contradiction, than that that which had ever been, should once be caused to be? |
A71108 | What greater Absurdity can there be, than that Beings which have infinite Perfections, should want some? |
A71108 | What is it then to suppose three Infinites, and those two every way closely united to one another? |
A71108 | What is the Existence of God the Father, but the Existence of the Nature of God the Father, except he exists distinct from his Nature? |
A71108 | When you predicate the Name of God of any one of them[ the Persons], you herein express a true but inadequate conception of God? |
A71108 | Who questions the Power of God to generate his Like? |
A71108 | Who was ever so ridiculous as to assert more than one Infinite Space, more than one infinite Duration? |
A71108 | Why do they not sometimes produce Light, which is but a less close Collection? |
A71108 | Will he explain it by eternal Procession? |
A71108 | Would it not be to suppose twice as much to emane from the Sun as was in it? |
A71108 | and a parcel of Guinea''s made of the One, be as good as a parcel of Guinea''s made of the other? |
A71108 | and he that hath form''d the Eye, shall he not see? |
A71108 | and what were those greater Works? |
A71108 | he asks, Who are they that determine any Notion to be true, while they can not conceive it to be so? |
A71108 | i. e. after such a Manner as can not be known nor told? |
A71108 | or how can Body and Soul be in the same Space? |
A71108 | or that that which had been from all Eternity, should from not- being be produced, caused or emaned into Being? |
A71108 | or whether all Thoughts must be younger than Minds, because they have their Original from them? |
A71108 | plain Texts? |
A71108 | says concerning the other Trinitarians, If such a Liberty as this in Interpreting Scripture be allowable, what Work may be made with Scripture? |
A71108 | that Angels exist by voluntary Creation, but the Son and H. Ghost by necessary Emanation? |
A71108 | that Jesus Christ desir''d not Divine Honours to be paid to him? |
A71108 | that there is an unconceivably close Union between them[ the supposed 3 Persons?] |
A71108 | whether three perfect necessary Natures or one only? |
A44701 | And another will be added, Is there any thing originally in God, not essential to him? |
A44701 | And are they no way distinct? |
A44701 | And doth he give any better account of infinite Wisdom and Power? |
A44701 | And hath the Creation nothing in it of real Being? |
A44701 | And if so, why such Union should spoil mutual Conversation and Delight? |
A44701 | And is his Will the self- same undistinguishable Perfection, in him, with his Knowledg? |
A44701 | And let him think away those, whether still he doth not presently conceive new? |
A44701 | And now, thinks he, will my easy admiring Readers, that read me only, and not him, say, What a Baffle hath he given the Enquirer? |
A44701 | And see whether this will not make all Religion cease too? |
A44701 | And what is that? |
A44701 | And which is a Difference with a Witness, in his Questions and Answers; He asks how many Causes are there in God? |
A44701 | And who apprehends not in what latitude of sense the humane Nature is One, which is common to Adam, and his Posterity? |
A44701 | And why, Sir, doth this argue him to have forgot the Question? |
A44701 | And, say I, but why, Sir, are not the three( supposed) created Spirits intelligent Substances? |
A44701 | Before there was any, was there not an infinitude of Being in the eternal Godhead? |
A44701 | But doth it tell us what it is? |
A44701 | But how can he soberly say that? |
A44701 | But how knows he they are not all Infinite? |
A44701 | But if any of them happen upon the Enquirer''s Book too, then must they say, how scurvily doth this Matter turn upon himself? |
A44701 | But if they are distinct, they are distinct, what? |
A44701 | But say I, how know you? |
A44701 | But suppose them created with mutual aptitudes to Union, and united, what should hinder but they may continue united, without being confounded? |
A44701 | But when the Discourse was only of a natural Union, what, in the Name of Wonder, made you dream of a Christmass- Pye? |
A44701 | But where lies the danger of all this? |
A44701 | But why can there not? |
A44701 | But, say I, Do you know what infinite is, or can you comprehend it? |
A44701 | Doth he not know that Physician and Philosopher, and his Followers, earnestly contended for what he says no Man ever pretended to? |
A44701 | For I appeal to what Sense he hath left himself, whether Power alone be God exclusive of Wisdom and Goodness? |
A44701 | For doth he not know all that he can do? |
A44701 | For what do they modify? |
A44701 | For who can doubt he knows himself? |
A44701 | Hath a Man no Substance? |
A44701 | Have they any thing in re correspondent to them, or have they not? |
A44701 | He says, How can it be? |
A44701 | How can any thing be divisible into parts which it hath not in it? |
A44701 | How can he either affirm or deny of another what he doth not understand? |
A44701 | How doth he know they can not? |
A44701 | How inconsiderate a Prevaricator was he that took upon him the present part of a Considerer, so to represent him? |
A44701 | I know what is commonly said of extrinsecal Denominations: But are such Denominations true, or false? |
A44701 | I leave him to compound that Difference with his abler Considerator, Whether one Inch and two Inches be equal? |
A44701 | I say, how can it but be? |
A44701 | I say, well, and what then? |
A44701 | I say, why can it not be? |
A44701 | I would ask this my learned Antagonist, have saying, and not saying, the same signification? |
A44701 | If contrary Natures might be so united, why not much rather like Natures? |
A44701 | If not, what is become of his adequate Conception? |
A44701 | If so, how are they distinguisht? |
A44701 | If they can not, I would know why? |
A44701 | In a Series of Discourse, must the beginning touch the end, leaving out what is to come between, and connect both parts? |
A44701 | In short; Is it the Thing he quarrels with as singular, or the Word? |
A44701 | Is any Man, according to the ordinary way of speaking, said to hold what is not his formed Judgment? |
A44701 | Is he a Non- entity? |
A44701 | Is he a shadow? |
A44701 | Is his Knowledg, throughout, the same with his effective Power? |
A44701 | Is it because he knew himself, what he would have others believe? |
A44701 | Is it because the first is infinite, therefore the two other can not be so? |
A44701 | Is there no Argument but à pari? |
A44701 | Is this his demonstration of the impossibility of a Trinity in the Godhead? |
A44701 | Is this the way to sift out Truth? |
A44701 | Let any sober Understanding judg, will the same Notion agree to them all? |
A44701 | Might you not plainly see, he here argued à fortiori? |
A44701 | Now can he be thought all this while to mean an absolute equality? |
A44701 | Or hath he no Essence? |
A44701 | Or is his Essence a Body? |
A44701 | Or is his Essence a Spirit? |
A44701 | Or that Society not to be delicious? |
A44701 | Or that divers other Commentators upon Aristotle, have some abetted, others as vehemently oppos''d them in it? |
A44701 | Or that''t is Novel? |
A44701 | Or to whom is it dangerous? |
A44701 | Or whether Soul and Body united, make nothing different from either, or both disunited? |
A44701 | Or whether a Man be only such a thing as a Pye? |
A44701 | Or why might not a Pudding serve as well, if made up of several Ingredients? |
A44701 | Or will you say the Being of the Creature is the Being of God? |
A44701 | Qui pauca respicit,& c. But who so bold as —? |
A44701 | Substances? |
A44701 | Suppose the Father infinite, can not the other two be infinite also, for ought he knows? |
A44701 | The Question is, as he now states it himself, why may not three intelligent Substances — be united? |
A44701 | This therefore he must say, or he saith nothing to the purpose; And why now is it impossible? |
A44701 | This was the Question, not what John, or Thomas, or James such a One thought? |
A44701 | Was there never a real Trinitarian in the World before? |
A44701 | Well; but what is that distinct Modus? |
A44701 | What a Cyclopick understanding is this? |
A44701 | What an ignorant Man is this Mr. — to talk of Soul and Body, as both intelligent Substances? |
A44701 | What if there be no exact Parallel? |
A44701 | What then serve Mediums for? |
A44701 | What, did he never hear of an Averroist in the World? |
A44701 | When they are said to be Modes of Subsistence, what is it that subsists? |
A44701 | Whether a Trinity in the Godhead be a possible thing? |
A44701 | Who sees not, it were a Contradiction to suppose them, the same still, and not the same? |
A44701 | Why hath he only the privilege of exemption from being compell''d by truth? |
A44701 | Why? |
A44701 | Will he pretend never to have read any that make Love( as it were intercurrent between the two first) the Character of the third? |
A44701 | Will he say the former is a singular Opinion? |
A44701 | or Accidents? |
A44701 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉] How many effects, or things caused? |
A62676 | 24) their Continuance in Being? |
A62676 | Against whom do they write but against themselves, and practice of Mother- Church? |
A62676 | And are not the Father and the Son in Scripture frequently opposed to one another as Intelligent Beings? |
A62676 | And do we not in our Creeds expresly say, the Son is God of God, very God of very God? |
A62676 | And does it not also make it Damnation not to believe a Difference, nay so great a One as that three of the first are but one of the last? |
A62676 | And if such Pretences would not excuse the Heathens from being guilty of Polytheism, why should it the Trinitarians? |
A62676 | And what greater Argument can there be that they are separate Gods, than that they act separately? |
A62676 | And what is God but such a Being? |
A62676 | Are not the Father and the Son Relatives, and consequently can not subsist but in different Subjects, and what Subject has each but God? |
A62676 | Are they three Gods? |
A62676 | But can any thing be more senseless than this? |
A62676 | But can the Divine Beings be one and not one in a Natural Sense, or be and not be at the same time naturally united? |
A62676 | But how can either Son or Spirit be God, who is a Being absolutely perfect, when they want the greatest of Perfections, Self- existence? |
A62676 | But is it not much more absurd to pay Divine Worship to every one of the three? |
A62676 | But is not Father in Scripture the Name of the most high God, and( as they say) so is Son and also Spirit? |
A62676 | But it may be said, Why may not one Infinite as well as one Finite proceed from another? |
A62676 | But what Assistance can be given an Omnipotent Being? |
A62676 | But what can Repetition be, or what can it cause, when it makes no manner of Change or Alteration? |
A62676 | Did the Father and Son communicate each a whole Essence, or but each a part to the Spirit? |
A62676 | Do not these Men the more they prove their Hypotheses, the clearer demonstrate themselves guilty of Idolatry? |
A62676 | Does not Christ declare God is a Spirit, how then dare People say that God is three Minds, Spirits, Intelligent Persons? |
A62676 | Does not the same Argument prove that there are three Gods, since there are three, each of whom is God? |
A62676 | For to what end should there be three Persons in God, when all three are no more wise, good and powerful than any one is singly? |
A62676 | How can we after that pretend to say they are the same God? |
A62676 | How can you condemn the Unitarians when you can not deny but that they worship the self- same God as you do? |
A62676 | How has Dr. S — th been admired for making the three Almighty Persons three Modes or Postures? |
A62676 | If God the Son was incarnate, and not God the Father, do we not affirm the Incarnation of one God, and deny it of another? |
A62676 | If an Almighty Person be multiplied, must not God be so too, except there are two Almighty Persons, and neither of them God? |
A62676 | If it is absurd to suppose more than one infinite Space, why is it not as absurd to suppose more than one infinite Person? |
A62676 | If the Persons are the self- same God, how can their Majesty and Glory be( as the Creed saith) equal and co- eternal? |
A62676 | If the Substance of the Father be every- where, how can the Substance of the Son be every- where too at the same time, and after the same manner? |
A62676 | If the Union of their Substances, or any thing else make them but one God, why do you say each is God, and pay Divine Worship to each by himself? |
A62676 | If we did not apprehend what he is, how could we say that he is an all- good, all- powerful, all- wise Being? |
A62676 | In short, can there be a more absurd Attempt than to endeavour to prove there are three Divine Persons, each of whom is God, and yet but one God? |
A62676 | Is it not a Contradiction to suppose three Infinites of the same sort, because it is supposing infinite Addition to infinite? |
A62676 | Is it not absurd in it self to say, one God is compounded( or what other Term you make use of) of three Gods, or three Almighty Persons? |
A62676 | Is it not equally as absurd to suppose three Infinite Persons as three Gods? |
A62676 | Is it not saying a thing, and then unsaying it again, which is saying nothing at all? |
A62676 | Is it not the Design both of the Old and New Testament, to forbid People having several Objects of Divine Worship? |
A62676 | Is not God predicated of each of the three as well as Person? |
A62676 | Is not One God one Infinite Spirit, as one Angel is a finite one? |
A62676 | Is not Repetition a numerical Multiplication? |
A62676 | Is the same God equal and co- eternal with himself? |
A62676 | Might they not have said they were but one God, because they had but one common Nature? |
A62676 | Must not these Notions be very uncouth when they are applied to the Incarnation and Satisfaction? |
A62676 | Nay, do not the Trinitarians say that Opera Trinitatis ad intra sunt divisa? |
A62676 | No: Are they three Attributes, or Properties, or Powers of God? |
A62676 | No: Are they three Parts of God? |
A62676 | No: Three Names only? |
A62676 | No: What manner or sort of three are they then? |
A62676 | On the contrary, if the Persons are really distinct, and each is God, must not each be God distinct from the others? |
A62676 | Or how can the Spirit, who is neither of these substantial Beings, be it? |
A62676 | Or if there is but one Being with infinite Understanding, is it not unlawful to adore three such Beings, each of which has an unlimited Understanding? |
A62676 | Or might they not have said, that Father Saturn communicated his numerical Essence to a multitude of Sons and Daughters? |
A62676 | Or, what can be discovered to an Omniscient One? |
A62676 | Or, what if they had said they were several Persons and but one God, tho each Person was God? |
A62676 | To say God begot a different Person is a very weak Evasion, for what is a Divine Person but God? |
A62676 | What Unitarian ever denied that God is our Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier? |
A62676 | What greater Absurdity can there be, than that Beings that have infinite unlimited Perfections, should want some Perfections? |
A62676 | What has Christ to do with Antichrist? |
A62676 | Whatsoever is necessarily in God, must contain some Perfection; but what Perfection is it for God to be more than one All- sufficient Person? |
A62676 | Who disbelieveth there is such a Creature as Man, tho he does not know how he was formed? |
A62676 | With what Applause were the Sabellian Notions of Dr. W''s three Respects or Relations, preach''d before the University of Oxford? |
A62676 | Would it not be very ridiculous to say, that tho it is impossible for a finite Being to be, and not to be, yet it may be otherwise in infinite Beings? |
A62676 | and is not a Divine Person an Uncreate, Eternal, Incomprehensible, Almighty Being? |
A62676 | or at least three Dei and but one God? |
A62676 | or one God, because there was an inconceiveable close Union between them? |
A62676 | or said that they were but one God by mutual Consciousness? |
A62676 | or said, that tho each is God, they were several Modes of one God? |
A62676 | saith, If it be asked what we do conceive under the Notion of God but a necessary Spiritual Being? |
A62676 | that is, when they prayed to one they did not pray to the other, but their Devotion terminated on each: Do we not do the same thing? |
A62676 | the Son only has? |
A62676 | the substantial Persons are as distinct as any three Men whatsoever? |
A66436 | 8.? |
A66436 | All that he has to say to this, is, Will he deny positively and directly, that the Lord Christ is a God by Representation and Office? |
A66436 | All the question is, who is the Lord that thus saith of himself, I am Alpha and Omega,& c? |
A66436 | And besides, do n''t those Socinians that worship our Saviour, affirm that they worship him as God? |
A66436 | And can any Divine Appointment make that not to be Idolatry, which in its nature is so? |
A66436 | And do n''t they then equal him to God, when they pray to him? |
A66436 | And he adds, May we not have such a Notion of an infinite Attribute? |
A66436 | And how doth that differ from the modelling and changing all things in Heaven and Earth, to a new and better estate? |
A66436 | And if any one should ask what is the difference? |
A66436 | And is not that Idolatry, to give to a Creature the Worship belonging to the Creator? |
A66436 | And then he smartly returns upon him, How, Sir, is that a good Consequence, or any Consequence at all? |
A66436 | And then how comes he before to acknowledge the Truth of that saying of his Lordship''s, that we can not comprehend the least Spire of Grass? |
A66436 | And to close the Objection, Do you not then give the like, nay the same Honour to Christ as to God? |
A66436 | And what a presumption would it be in a Creature that had a beginning, to say of himself, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last? |
A66436 | And what advantage could they have from him that was to come into the world for the Redemption of Mankind 4000, 3000,& c. years after? |
A66436 | And what is it to worship him as God, but to give him Divine Worship? |
A66436 | And when the Son is called God in Scripture, what is the difference between God the Son, and the Son that is God? |
A66436 | And where doth the Absurdity lie? |
A66436 | As if I would ask, What is an infinite Attribute? |
A66436 | But I do not see how it follows, that if he is from himself, he must be before he was? |
A66436 | But after all, is this a Misrepresentation? |
A66436 | But his Grace saith, This Gospel was wrote against Cerinthus; and then, saith our Author, how came the Cerinthians to use it? |
A66436 | But his Grace will say perhaps, Why? |
A66436 | But how came that word Existence in? |
A66436 | But how can the Being of a Creature be commensurate to all the several respects of Duration, past, present, and to come? |
A66436 | But is no such person ever mentioned in Scripture, as God the Son? |
A66436 | But is not Prayer a part of Divine Worship, and peculiar to God? |
A66436 | But is not this to equal him with God, to whom alone we are taught to direct our Prayers? |
A66436 | But may he urge, Do n''t you acknowledge the Son of God to be God? |
A66436 | But what a v ● st solitude was there, a Chasm of 4000 years before his Birth and Being? |
A66436 | But what do they understand by the Word, when the Word is said to be made Flesh? |
A66436 | But what doth our Author mean? |
A66436 | But what if those Proofs run no higher than Arianism? |
A66436 | But what then will become of the other Evangelists? |
A66436 | But where are those Texts that expresly say, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry? |
A66436 | But where is the Contradiction? |
A66436 | But why Some? |
A66436 | But will he say, Is not this all one, when he that suffer''d and died, is, in our opinion, God as well as Man? |
A66436 | Did never any Vnitarians or Socinians give Honour and Worship, a like and even the same to Christ as to the Father? |
A66436 | Do we understand Infinity, a Spirit, or Eternity, the better for all this? |
A66436 | Do you not pray to Christ? |
A66436 | Doth the Archbishop reason from the Context? |
A66436 | For Duration is a continuance of Time; but what Duration was there in Eternity, before there was any Time, or God began to operate and make the World? |
A66436 | For if the Books that are the Text of it are so mangled, what certainty is there left about any part of it? |
A66436 | For what Heresy is there in simple Poverty? |
A66436 | For what Succession was there before the Creation of the World? |
A66436 | For what doth he say, but what they have said before him? |
A66436 | For what else is the effect of his Doctrine of Succession in God, and passing from one Duration to another? |
A66436 | For would you know who those are that he proclaims War against? |
A66436 | For, Might not the Jews then reply, So Abraham was before Adam, and so both Abraham and Adam were before the World? |
A66436 | For, is there any word leaning this way? |
A66436 | For, saith he, What makes him[ the Bishop] say, God must be from himself, or self- originated? |
A66436 | Had he no way to defend his New Mysteries, but by espousing the Cause of the Atheists? |
A66436 | Have there been no Christians in the World for 1500 Years, but only the Arians and Trinitarians? |
A66436 | He demands, saith he, when did this Ascension of our Saviour into Heaven happen? |
A66436 | How doth he argue against it from the Weakness of the Socinian attempts to prove it, and for which in effect they have nothing to say? |
A66436 | How from the inconsistency of it with Scripture? |
A66436 | How is the Scene changed upon this? |
A66436 | How then can he say that his Grace can raise- the expressions no higher than Arianism? |
A66436 | Is that Charge a Device of the Trinitarians? |
A66436 | Let us suppose this, what is it then they deny? |
A66436 | Must they be excluded out of the number of the Canonical? |
A66436 | Now supposing it so to be, Why must it thus be supplied? |
A66436 | Now the question will be, Whether St. John hath used them by chance, as our Author imagines? |
A66436 | Now this is more than his Adversary charges them with: But what do they mean? |
A66436 | Or was Socinus the first( for that( it may be) was his Grace''s meaning) who departed from the Arian and Trinitarian Sense of the Context? |
A66436 | Or why may it not be said, Before Abraham was, I was in being? |
A66436 | Or will it prove that the Gospel is a Valentinian, a Cerinthian, or Gnostick Gospel? |
A66436 | Supposing it to be so*, what will follow? |
A66436 | That is, Was''t thou coexistent with him, and born in his time, who has been so long dead? |
A66436 | The first is,''That if God was for ever, he must be from himself; and what Notion can we have in our minds concerning it? |
A66436 | This, I am sure is nothing to the purpose; for what is this to the Pre existence of our Saviour, the present subject of the Discourse? |
A66436 | To this they captiously object, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
A66436 | To what purpose is this? |
A66436 | What Eternity? |
A66436 | What Service could he challenge from them, when he himself lay in the Embrio of nothing? |
A66436 | What if Ebion at last is found to be a Person? |
A66436 | What is a Spirit? |
A66436 | What is it then his Grace alledges this Text for? |
A66436 | What is the Word but the Son of God, and when the Word and the Son are the same, what is the difference between God the Word, and God the Son? |
A66436 | What is this brought to prove? |
A66436 | What more plain, if his Argument be true, than that there can be no personal Union between the Soul and Body, such distant extremes? |
A66436 | Where is it expresly said in that, or any other Text, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry? |
A66436 | Where the Angels and Heavenly Powers that were put under his direction, and by him employed in defence and succor of the faithful? |
A66436 | Where was the Paganism and Idolatry he in that dismal Interval abolished? |
A66436 | Who are the Ancient Unitarians, that our Author at all times speaks so venerably of, and that thus rejected the Books usually ascribed to St. John? |
A66436 | Whom makest thou thy self? |
A66436 | Why so? |
A66436 | Will it prove Cerinthus to be the Author of that Gospel? |
A66436 | Would this prove what was to be proved, That he that was not fifty years old, had seen Abraham, or that he was Co- existent with Abraham? |
A66436 | and in what a condition was the whole World of Intelligent Beings, till our Saviours Resurrection and Ascension? |
A66436 | and yet knew not the time or day of Judgment? |
A66436 | p. 57. which he more largely prosecutes, p. 64,& c. What saith our Author to this? |
A61522 | And are these but noisy Nothings to gull People with? |
A61522 | And by what means now doth this Connexion between these two Ideas appear? |
A61522 | And can we have any Certainty of Reason as to those things? |
A61522 | And doth not all this proceed upon Reason as distinct from Ideas? |
A61522 | And from whence comes it? |
A61522 | And have you not set your self to disprove it? |
A61522 | And here the question is not, Whether the mind can not form Complex and Abstracted general Ideas from those simple Ideas? |
A61522 | And if it does not exist, how can it be the Second Sun? |
A61522 | And is all this Cabala too, and only to be used when People are to be gulled with noisy Nothings? |
A61522 | And is not the Sun a particular Substance? |
A61522 | And now are they not at Leisure to defend them? |
A61522 | And this was called Visum, or a true Idea; his words are, Quale igitur visum? |
A61522 | And what Demonstration have we against this? |
A61522 | And what a narrow compass must our Knowledge then be confined to? |
A61522 | And what a strange way is this, if it fails us in some of the first Foundations of the real Knowledge of our selves? |
A61522 | And what answer doth he give to the Testimonies out of it? |
A61522 | And what harm is there in using the plainest Method in a nice and intricate Subject? |
A61522 | And what is it which should keep them together, when Life is gone? |
A61522 | And what now saith our Vnitarian to all this? |
A61522 | And what then would you think of one who should go about to invalidate this Argument? |
A61522 | And what then? |
A61522 | And wherein then lies the difference as to the grounds of Certainty? |
A61522 | And will not the same Ideas prove our Souls to be Immaterial? |
A61522 | Are not these Logicians a sort of European Philosophers, who were despised so much before, for this very Notion of Substance? |
A61522 | Are there not multitudes of Things which we are not able to conceive, and yet it would not be allowed us to suppose what we think fit on that account? |
A61522 | Are they so indeed? |
A61522 | As to Advantages from them, that is quite out of our Enquiry; which is concerning the Idea of Nature? |
A61522 | Because men may have such Ideas in their Minds by the power of Imagination, when there are no Objects to produce them? |
A61522 | But I must still ask, what becomes of this Combination of Qualities in the second Sun, if there be not a Real Essence to support them? |
A61522 | But did you not offer to put us into the way of Certainty? |
A61522 | But doth it cease to be Matter or not? |
A61522 | But doth not this however take off from the force of an Argument some have used to perswade Men that there is a God? |
A61522 | But doth this prove it Immaterial? |
A61522 | But how can a Body operate upon it self without Motion? |
A61522 | But how can we be sure it is false, when I brought proof it was true, and he answers nothing at all to it? |
A61522 | But how if this way of Demonstration be made impossible? |
A61522 | But how is this proved? |
A61522 | But if after all this Matter may Think, what becomes of these clear and distinct Ideas? |
A61522 | But is there not an Immortal Soul in Man? |
A61522 | But it is whether there be not an Antecedent Foundation in the Nature of things upon which we form this Abstract Idea? |
A61522 | But the question is, Whether that something be a Material or Immaterial Substance? |
A61522 | But the question now is, whether your general expression had not given him too much occasion for it? |
A61522 | But this doth not clear the matter; for, is Faith an Vnreasonable Act? |
A61522 | But this is far from our case, which is, whether that real Spiritual Substance we find in our selves be Material or not? |
A61522 | But this is not the point before us, whether you do own Substance or not? |
A61522 | But upon what grounds? |
A61522 | But what Certainty follows barely from our not being able to Conceive? |
A61522 | But what Liberty can you conceive in mere Matter? |
A61522 | But what is all this to you? |
A61522 | But what is there like Self- consciousness in Matter? |
A61522 | But what then is a Spirit? |
A61522 | But whence comes this Certainty, where there can be no Ideas? |
A61522 | But whether those simple Ideas are the Foundation of our Knowledge and Certainty as to the Nature of Substance? |
A61522 | But which of the simple Ideas is this built upon? |
A61522 | But which way do they carry it? |
A61522 | Can any thing be plainer? |
A61522 | Can any thing now be plainer than the Disagreement of these two Ideas, by the several Properties which belong to them? |
A61522 | Did I not expresly mention his Testimony as concurring with the other? |
A61522 | Did these men look on the Souls of Men, as mere Modifications of Matter? |
A61522 | Do I ever deny, that the difference of kinds is to be understood from the different Properties? |
A61522 | Do sensible Qualities carry a Corporeal Substance along with them? |
A61522 | Doth a Spiritual Substance imply Matter in its Idea or not? |
A61522 | For is not any Man who understands the meaning of plain Words satisfied that nothing can produce it self? |
A61522 | For what is it makes the second Sun, to be a true Sun, but having the same Real Essence with the first? |
A61522 | God may by his Power grant a new Life; but will any man say, God can preserve the Life of a Man when he is dead? |
A61522 | Granting all this to be true, what is it to the Complex Idea of Nature, which arises from these simple Ideas? |
A61522 | Hath not this been made use of, as an Argument not only by Christians, but by the wisest and greatest Men among the Heathens? |
A61522 | Have I any words like these? |
A61522 | Have these simple Ideas the Notion of a Substance in them? |
A61522 | Have we any Adequate Idea of this? |
A61522 | Here you must give me leave to ask you, what you think of the universal Consent of Mankind, as to the Being of God? |
A61522 | How came we to know that these Accidents were such feeble things? |
A61522 | How can we then be certain where we have no Ideas from Sensation or Reflection to proceed by? |
A61522 | How comes Conscience and Religion to be so deeply concerned, whether the Jews had any Anticipation of the Trinity among them? |
A61522 | How could you mean otherwise, when you acknowledge the Real Essence to be in particular Substances? |
A61522 | How is this possible, if a Material Substance be capable of Thinking as well as an Immaterial? |
A61522 | How is this possible? |
A61522 | How is this possible? |
A61522 | How so? |
A61522 | How so? |
A61522 | How so? |
A61522 | How then can we come to any Certainty in the way of Ideas? |
A61522 | I ask then, What Idea you have of the Soul by Reflection? |
A61522 | If not, to what purpose do we talk of Knowledge by Ideas when we can not so much as know Body and Spirit from each other by them? |
A61522 | If only some Parts of Matter have a Power of Thinking, how comes so great a difference in the Properties of the same Matter? |
A61522 | If there be then one and the same Nature in the Individuals, whence comes the difference of Substances to be so necessarily supposed? |
A61522 | If this be true, here are Relative Properties indeed relating to a Divine Essence: but how? |
A61522 | If want of Perception be in the very Idea of Matter, how can Matter be made capable of Perceiving? |
A61522 | Is a general Reason sufficient without particular Ideas? |
A61522 | Is it not an Assent to a Proposition? |
A61522 | Is it possible now to think so great a Man look''d on the Soul but as a Modification of the Body, which must be at an end with Life? |
A61522 | Is it then any Absurdity to call a Spiritual Substance Immaterial? |
A61522 | Is not here a great ado to make a thing plain by Ideas, which was plainer without them? |
A61522 | Is not the Being doubtfull if the Idea be; and all our Certainty come in by Ideas? |
A61522 | Is not this giving up the Cause of Certainty? |
A61522 | Is the Idea of Matter and Spirit distinct or not? |
A61522 | Is there no difference between the bare Being of a Thing, and its Subsistence by it self? |
A61522 | Is there not the Real Essence of the Sun in that Individual, we call the Sun? |
A61522 | Now how can the Idea of Liberty agree with these simple Ideas of Body? |
A61522 | Or how is it possible to apprehend that meer Body should perceive that it doth perceive? |
A61522 | Should I go about to justifie this, by the Rules of the ancient and best Masters of Writing in Arguments of such a Nature? |
A61522 | The Question is not, Whether in forming the Notion of Common Nature, the Mind doth not abstract from the Circumstances of particular Beings? |
A61522 | The question I put is, Whether Matter can think or not? |
A61522 | The question is not, Whether you doubt or deny any such Being as Substance in the World? |
A61522 | The question is, what the Sense of these places was, and how they are to be applied to Christ? |
A61522 | Then why not in other cases as well? |
A61522 | Therefore a Spirit is only an Appearance? |
A61522 | To be dissipated in the common Air? |
A61522 | To what purpose? |
A61522 | What Certainty we can have as to Substance, if we can have no Idea of it? |
A61522 | What Disposition of Matter is requir''d to Thinking? |
A61522 | What can be ridiculing the Notion of Substance, and the European Philosophers for asserting it, if this be not? |
A61522 | What can express the Soul to be of a different Substance from the Body, if these words do it not? |
A61522 | What demonstrative Reason, nay, what probable Argument hath he offer''d against this? |
A61522 | What follows? |
A61522 | What is that, but to attain Certainty in such things, where we could not otherwise do it? |
A61522 | What is that? |
A61522 | What is the meaning of carrying with them a supposition of a Substratum and a Substance? |
A61522 | What is the meaning of this? |
A61522 | What is this Conceiving? |
A61522 | What simple Ideas inform''d you of it? |
A61522 | What simple Ideas then are there in Man, upon which you ground the Certainty of this Proposition, That there is a God? |
A61522 | Where did I ever give the least Cause to suspect my owning the Iewish Cabala, as the unwritten Word of God? |
A61522 | Where do I deny that Abstraction is made by an Act of the Mind? |
A61522 | Wherein now do his grounds of Certainty differ from yours? |
A61522 | Whoever dreamt of a Specifick Essence being the Efficient Cause? |
A61522 | Why not a word said to it? |
A61522 | Why, what''s the matter? |
A61522 | You can not say it doth: Then it may be Immaterial: But how come we to know things but by their distinct Ideas? |
A61522 | are we at a loss here too, and yet all our Certainty depend no the perceiving the Agreement and Disagreement of Ideas? |
A61522 | but whether by vertue of these Principles, you can come to any Certainty of Reason about it? |
A61522 | nor whether the Notion you have of it be clear and distinct? |
A61522 | not as to our Knowledge? |
A61522 | or to be lost in the vast Confusion of Matter? |
A61522 | or, That what is not can not make it self to be? |
A59905 | And so of the rest? |
A59905 | And what are these Modi subsistendi, by which the Divine Persons are distinguished from each other? |
A59905 | And what then? |
A59905 | And what then? |
A59905 | And why then should not Infidels as well have the benefit of this Principle, as Hereticks? |
A59905 | And yet I desire to know, why that may not be the Catholick Faith, and necessary to Salvation, which has always been matter of Controversie? |
A59905 | But I desire to know, what Articles of our Faith have not been controverted by some Hereticks or other? |
A59905 | But can any Creature be holy and perfect as God is? |
A59905 | But suppose the worst, how does this concern the Doctrine of the Incarnation? |
A59905 | But suppose then, that the Natural Construction of the Words import such a Sense, as is contrary to some evident Principle of Reason? |
A59905 | But was not the Son also with the Holy Ghost, and is not he too( according to the Trinitarians) God, or a God? |
A59905 | But what becomes of his beloved Socinus all this while? |
A59905 | But what if it be against a mans Conscience to profess it? |
A59905 | But what makes St. Gregory dispute thus nicely about the use of words, and oppose the common and ordinary Forms of Speech? |
A59905 | But when he thinks a second time of it, will he say, that the Church of God in Athanasius''s Age, was not of the same Faith with him? |
A59905 | But where in Scripture is the Word called God the Son? |
A59905 | But why does he confine this bowing the Knee to the last Iudgment? |
A59905 | Can any thing be more easie and obvious, and more agreeable to the Doctrine of the Trinity? |
A59905 | Could the Apostle mean by this Phrase, that they were baptized in the Name of Moses? |
A59905 | Did he in good earnest believe, that there is but One man in the World? |
A59905 | Did he never then hear of what we call Emanative Effects, which coexist with their Causes? |
A59905 | Do we say, a thing is coeternal and cotemperary with itself? |
A59905 | Does a Son necessarily signifie one who is begotten of two Parents? |
A59905 | Doth not a Man contradict himself, when the Term or Terms in his Negation, are the same with those in his Affirmation? |
A59905 | Doth, I say, the Holy Scripture compel us to this contradictory acknowledgment? |
A59905 | For are not these Questions of Faith, whether there be a God and a Providence, and whether Christ be that Messias, who came from God? |
A59905 | For does not his Reason equally extend to the Christian Faith it self, as to those Points, which have been controverted in Christian Churches? |
A59905 | For does our Author in earnest think, that God can not have a Son, unless he begets him, as one man begets another? |
A59905 | Has the Catholick Faith any such Priviledge as not to be controverted? |
A59905 | His first is, that of Iob; Will ye speak wickedly for God? |
A59905 | His next Proof is, that he humbled himself, and became obedient, which is all he cites; but what does he prove from this? |
A59905 | How can Three distinct Persons have but one Numerical Substance? |
A59905 | How did he become poor for our sakes, who was never rich? |
A59905 | How does a Human Soul discover its glory but by visible Actions? |
A59905 | How shall we then know, when the Apostle has respect to the words he quotes? |
A59905 | How? |
A59905 | I ask, whether the Son doth not, as he is a Son, derive both Life and Godhead from the Father? |
A59905 | I desire to know what is meant by being baptized in the Name of the Father? |
A59905 | I hope not all, for that is a very good Discourse, and I only wish for the Author''s sake, si sic omnia; but pray, what is the matter? |
A59905 | I will only ask this Author, Whether the Jews were baptized in the Name of Moses? |
A59905 | I would ask this Author, whether the Scripture compels him to believe but One God, in his Sense of it, that is, but One who is God? |
A59905 | If each Person must be God and Lord, must not each Person be Uncreated, Incomprehensible, Eternal, Almighty? |
A59905 | If it does not, why does he believe it, and insist so peremptorily on it, in defiance of the whole Catholick Church? |
A59905 | If they were not, let him tell me, how their being baptized into Moses comes to signifie their being baptized in the Name of Moses? |
A59905 | If this Inspiration be without God, in Creatures, who are inspired by him; how is it the Spirit of God? |
A59905 | If this be so, I desire to know, How the Spirit of God differs from his Gifts and Graces? |
A59905 | Is any Creature capable of the Government of the world? |
A59905 | Is it only to take him for our Instructor and Guide? |
A59905 | Is not the Sun the Cause of Light, and Fire of Heat? |
A59905 | Is not this like swearing Allegiance to the King, and to his Son, and to his Power, or to his Wisdom? |
A59905 | Not coeternal, for this also plainly intimates, that they are distinct: For how coeternal, if not distinct? |
A59905 | Now what of all this? |
A59905 | Or does our Author think, that no Atheist or Infidel, no unbelieving Jew, or Heathen, ever used reasonable diligence to be rightly informed? |
A59905 | Or is it to worship and obey him for our God? |
A59905 | Quae molitio, quae ferramenta, qui vectes, quae machinae, qui Ministri, tanti muneris suerunt? |
A59905 | Reason tells us, that Three Gods can not be One God, but does Reason tell us, That Three Divine Persons can not be One God? |
A59905 | So that all his Absurdities and Contradictions are vanished only into Nicodemus his Question, How can these things be? |
A59905 | So that the Holy Spirit receives the things of Christ; But how does he receive them? |
A59905 | Suppose this,( for I have forgot what his Demonstrations are, and have not the Book now by me) what is this to the Trinity and Incarnation? |
A59905 | That he knew not where Lazarus was laid, because he asks, Where have ye laid him? |
A59905 | That is, because they affirm these Divine Persons to be distinct, therefore they must say, they are numerically the same; and what then? |
A59905 | That is, the term God is affirmed of Three, and yet denied to belong to more than One; And is not this a Contradiction? |
A59905 | Therefore all these Articles make indeed but One Article, which is this? |
A59905 | Though a greater Extension can not be contained in a less, what is this to an infinite Mind''s being present every where without Extension? |
A59905 | Thus what can be a more pure and simple Act than Wisdom and Truth? |
A59905 | What becomes then of his Reason, which is as certain and evident as any Proposition in Euclid? |
A59905 | What impudence is this, to think to sham the World at this time a day, with such stories as these? |
A59905 | What is Justice and Goodness, but an equal distribution of Things, or a true and wise proportion of Rewards and Punishments? |
A59905 | What is perfect Power, but perfect Truth and Wisdom, which can do, whatever it knows? |
A59905 | What is the distinction between Essence, and Personality and Subsistence? |
A59905 | What shall be done unto Thee, thou lying Tongue? |
A59905 | What then? |
A59905 | What thinks he of the Nicene Fathers, who condemned Arius? |
A59905 | What( says he) shall we do here? |
A59905 | What? |
A59905 | Wherefore? |
A59905 | Why so? |
A59905 | Why the Soul can leave the Body, when the Body is disabled to perform the Offices of Life, but can not leave it before? |
A59905 | Will ye accept his Person? |
A59905 | and can God communicate infinite Wisdom and infinite Power to a Creature, or a finite Nature? |
A59905 | and can he conceive a Sun without Light, or Fire without Heat? |
A59905 | and knoweth the things of God, as the Spirit of a Man knoweth the things of a man? |
A59905 | and must not God then be represented by One, who is God? |
A59905 | and suffered him to have wrought Miracles, to cheat the world into this belief? |
A59905 | and talk deceitfully for him? |
A59905 | and why may not this be represented by his saying, Let there be Light? |
A59905 | and yet, can Light be without the Sun, or Heat without Fire? |
A59905 | are we obliged under the penalty of the loss of Salvation to believe it, whether we can or no? |
A59905 | because he voluntarily condescends below the Dignity of his Nature, does he forfeit the Dignity of his Nature? |
A59905 | but will he particularly intercede for us? |
A59905 | does not this require infinite Wisdom and infinite Power? |
A59905 | doth God require of any man an impossible Condition in order to Salvation? |
A59905 | is a meer Creature a fit Lieutenant or Representative of God in Personal or Prerogative Acts of Government and Power? |
A59905 | must not every Being be represented by one of his own Kind, a Man by a Man, an Angel by an Angel, in such Acts as are proper to their Natures? |
A59905 | not believe Scripture? |
A59905 | that Obedience is part of his Humiliation? |
A59905 | that is, can a Creature be made a true and essential God? |
A59905 | that is, could the Apostle mean, what he knew was not true? |
A59905 | that is, that the Sun should be without Light, and the Fire without Heat? |
A59905 | therefore he is not God? |
A59905 | therefore he is not God? |
A59905 | was the Word the Father? |
A59905 | when he cites the very words, as a Prophesie of Christ? |
A59905 | whether the Soul have parts, as the Body has, which answer to every part of the Body, and touch in every Point? |
A59905 | whether upon their supposition of his being a meer Man, if he had arrogated to himself to be God, God would have permitted this? |
A59905 | why innocent Beasts must die to expiate the sins of men? |
A59905 | will ye contend for God? |
A86947 | 21, What is to be seen there? |
A86947 | And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph: Doth my Father yet live? |
A86947 | And he said anto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? |
A86947 | And how can Blood witness Salvation, Justification, and the like, seeing the VVater and Blood of Christ was long since spilt upon the ground? |
A86947 | And it grew up with his children; that is, with Christ''s children: Who are those? |
A86947 | And through thy knowledge shall thy weak brother perish for whom Christ died? |
A86947 | And whence had the Seraphim it? |
A86947 | Are you contented to be undone, to lose all that you have and are? |
A86947 | Are you willing to have all burnt up in you by that fiery flame that issueth out of Christs mouth? |
A86947 | Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? |
A86947 | Born where? |
A86947 | But do you work with your hands, and set upon some manual calling or other? |
A86947 | But how shall he come? |
A86947 | But of what use? |
A86947 | But shall not he come and reign, with that very flesh and body which he had at Ierusalem? |
A86947 | But some will say, How are the dead raised? |
A86947 | But the righteousness which is of faith, speaketh on this wise: Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? |
A86947 | But we hope you would have us have a livelihood? |
A86947 | But what doth the Father witness of Christ? |
A86947 | But what is a daughter of Hierusalem? |
A86947 | But what is it to seek righteousness, as it were, by the Law? |
A86947 | But what is the glory of Angels? |
A86947 | But what is the righteousness of Christ? |
A86947 | But what is the righteousness which is by believing? |
A86947 | But what is this live coal? |
A86947 | But what saith it? |
A86947 | But what should I not say in my heart? |
A86947 | But what word? |
A86947 | But when will he come? |
A86947 | But who is it that saith, that Christ is within us? |
A86947 | But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand whon he appeareth? |
A86947 | But why is Christ called the Word of God in Scripture? |
A86947 | But why is God called the Father? |
A86947 | But why is he called the Word of Truth? |
A86947 | But you will ask me, What is that? |
A86947 | But you will ask me, What is the Father? |
A86947 | But, may some say, How can VVater witness Sanctification, washing, cleansing of the soul? |
A86947 | But, may some say, How shall I confess him, when I do not know whether or no he is in me? |
A86947 | But, may some say, How shall we know whether we have a Call to this or to that? |
A86947 | But, may some say, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A86947 | Can you preach twice every day of the week throughout the yeer, without other mens books? |
A86947 | Can you preach, all books being taken away from you save the Bible, at any time when you are desired to do it? |
A86947 | Deal seriously with me; did not Christ within thee, discover it to thee? |
A86947 | Do you know what you desire, what you ask for? |
A86947 | Do you love it as Christ loves it? |
A86947 | Doth God take care for Oxen? |
A86947 | For want of a feeling of Christ within us, we are ready to say in our hearts, though not with our mouthes, Who shall descend into the deep? |
A86947 | Friends, do ye believe it? |
A86947 | Friends, why do ye not sing and shout for joy, seeing the Lord is within you? |
A86947 | Have none but they a warrant to write? |
A86947 | How confess him? |
A86947 | How do you know that you do not injoy him? |
A86947 | How nigh me? |
A86947 | How shall we live ▪ say they, else? |
A86947 | How? |
A86947 | I shall answer this, by asking another Question: How did Abel, being dead, speak? |
A86947 | If it be so, that Christ is within us, Then let us confess him with our mouthes; this is our duty, to confess him: Whom? |
A86947 | If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? |
A86947 | If we have sown unto you all spiritual things, is it a great thing, if we shall reap your carnal things? |
A86947 | Is not the same Spirit in one, as in the other? |
A86947 | Is not this good news? |
A86947 | Is there any thing to be seen or learn''d from her? |
A86947 | Is there any thing to be seen that is worth the seeing, in Egypt, where there is nothing but blackness ▪ darkness, bondage, cruelty, and the like? |
A86947 | Just so, poor souls many times say to God, when he seems to their souls as a man amazed, and as one that can not save them; Why art thou so, Lord? |
A86947 | Let me see you Priests do so: where is there such a spirit as Paul had, among you? |
A86947 | Or I onely and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? |
A86947 | Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? |
A86947 | Or saith not the Law the same also? |
A86947 | Or, who shall descend into the deep? |
A86947 | Say I these things as a man? |
A86947 | Say not in thine heart, Who shall descend into the deep? |
A86947 | The Question is this: Who is he that overcometh the world? |
A86947 | The Word is nigh, Whom? |
A86947 | The priests said not, Where is the Lord? |
A86947 | The prophets prophesie falsly, and the priests bear rule by their means, and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof? |
A86947 | The word of faith, which we preach ▪ What word is that? |
A86947 | Then why do you not rejoyce and sing? |
A86947 | These two things following: First, Who shall ascend into heaven? |
A86947 | This is a paradox, a strange thing: how can a man be crucified, and yet live? |
A86947 | Thus saith the Lord, O priests, that despise my name; and ye say, Wherein have we despised thy Name? |
A86947 | To the first, I ask you this: Is all Truth in learned godly men? |
A86947 | VVhat have you seen the Lord, and are alive? |
A86947 | VVhat is that? |
A86947 | VVhat is the glory? |
A86947 | VVhat, Christ born in Egypt, among the Egyptians, where there is nothing but cruelty, darkness, and bondage? |
A86947 | VVhat, a harlot? |
A86947 | VVhat, have you seen the Lord, and are not dead, and are not undone? |
A86947 | VVhen God speaks to a soul, Thou art the man that hast sinned, that hast slain Christ; either he will cry out, VVhat shall I do to be saved? |
A86947 | VVhere? |
A86947 | VVhy, is there any thing to be seen in Babylon, among the Babylonians? |
A86947 | Wait: who knows but that he may come down in a cloud of darkness into your hrarts? |
A86947 | We are ready to speak it in our hearts, though not in our mouthes, Who shall ascend into heaven? |
A86947 | What are these clouds? |
A86947 | What are those? |
A86947 | What care they for offending the Conscience of Gods people? |
A86947 | What cloud? |
A86947 | What doth the holy Ghost witness? |
A86947 | What greater testimony can there be in Heaven, then the testimony of three? |
A86947 | What is Philistia? |
A86947 | What is Tyre? |
A86947 | What is it to walk in the Name of the Lord? |
A86947 | What is meant by that day? |
A86947 | What is meant by the holy mountains? |
A86947 | What is my reward then? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is to be seen in Rahab? |
A86947 | What is to be seen there? |
A86947 | What is to be seen there? |
A86947 | What makes you say so? |
A86947 | What makes you think he is not within you? |
A86947 | What shall we take notice of? |
A86947 | What singers and players on Instruments shall be there? |
A86947 | What then shall it be? |
A86947 | What was Ethiopia? |
A86947 | What, born in that sinful City? |
A86947 | What, make mention of Rahab and Babylon? |
A86947 | What, my God? |
A86947 | What, to me? |
A86947 | Where hadst thou it? |
A86947 | Where is it? |
A86947 | Where is the wise? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Wherefore? |
A86947 | Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
A86947 | Who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk thereof? |
A86947 | Who gave it thee? |
A86947 | Who goeth a warfare at his own charges? |
A86947 | Who is that? |
A86947 | Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? |
A86947 | Who shall stand when he appeareth? |
A86947 | Why can not you acknowledge it? |
A86947 | Why do you say so? |
A86947 | Why do you say so? |
A86947 | Why is he called the word of faith? |
A86947 | Why should ye fear? |
A86947 | Why shouldst thou seem to be as a man amazed with us, and as a mighty man that can not save us? |
A86947 | Why? |
A86947 | Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar, and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? |
A86947 | Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? |
A86947 | and what is the holy Ghost? |
A86947 | and why the holy Ghost? |
A86947 | and with what body do they come? |
A86947 | is it a great one or not? |
A86947 | is it a truth to your souls? |
A86947 | or in what doth the matter of it consist? |
A86947 | what asking ▪ each other is there amongst them, What is such a Living worth, and such a Living; is it worth any thing? |
A86947 | what is the Son? |
A86947 | what is the reason of it? |
A86947 | where is the disputer of this world? |
A86947 | where is the scribe? |
A86947 | who would not wait, seeing there is no safety in resisting, but in patiently waiting? |
A86947 | why the Son? |
A59853 | A whole Divinity made up of Three partial and incomplete Divinities? |
A59853 | And are they not Three who have all the Perfections of the Divine Nature? |
A59853 | And does not the Scripture, do not all Trinitarians, with the whole Catholick Church, own this? |
A59853 | And if this had not been the belief of the Catholick Church, what meant their Zeal against this Heresy? |
A59853 | And must this One Undivided Monad be in Three separate Localities, because it subsists in three distinct Persons? |
A59853 | And what is the Cons ● quence of this? |
A59853 | And what is there unintelligible in all this? |
A59853 | And what is to be done now? |
A59853 | And when the Arians objected against our Saviour''s saying, I am in the Father, and the Father in me; How can this be in that, and that in this? |
A59853 | And why may not Number then belong to the Divinity, though it be not quantum, have no Predicamental, that is, Corporeal Quantity? |
A59853 | And will any Trinitarian deny, That the Father is, the Son is, and the Holy Ghost is? |
A59853 | And yet I dare appeal to any man of a free and unbiass''d Reason in this Cause, What is that Natural Notion we have of One God? |
A59853 | Are Spirits united by Juxta- position of Parts, or Penetration of Dimensions? |
A59853 | Are there then as many peculiar Manners and Modes of Subsistence, as there are, or ever have been, or ever shall be, distinct Persons in the World? |
A59853 | But after all, Do these Fathers deny, that the Divine Nature is One Individual Nature? |
A59853 | But at this rate, what Divinity do we leave for the Son, and the Holy Spirit? |
A59853 | But ca n''t there be more than one of these Eternal, infinitely Wise, infinitely Good, and Omnipotent Natures? |
A59853 | But do not all Catholick Christians own, That there is but One Infinite, Inseparable, Undivided Nature, in Three Persons? |
A59853 | But does this make God True and Perfect Man? |
A59853 | But how can this be, if Person and Essence, Suppositum and Nature be the same, as it is in God? |
A59853 | But how can we learn God''s Love and Good Will to Mankind, from this Doctrine, if it be not true? |
A59853 | But how will this agree with the Notion of One Divinity, or One Individual Divine Nature? |
A59853 | But if God redeems us by a Man, however he be enabled by a Divine Power, Why is he said to give his Son for us? |
A59853 | But in good earnest, does any sober Christian want an Answer to this Argument? |
A59853 | But in what sense then can we say, That the Trinity is One God, or that Three Persons are One God? |
A59853 | But is not this a kind of Sabellian Composition of a God? |
A59853 | But now will any Catholick Christian say, that thus it is in the Ever Blessed Trinity? |
A59853 | But still what is all this to the Unity of God? |
A59853 | But suppose they could not distinguish them, does this prove that God is Incarnate in such men; or would it be a reason to worship such men as God? |
A59853 | But the Question is, In what sense the Scripture teaches that there is but One God? |
A59853 | But what becomes then of the Son, and Holy Ghost? |
A59853 | But what is this Brightness, and what is this Glory? |
A59853 | But what is this common Nature, which is seen by Reason? |
A59853 | But what possible Sense can we make of this? |
A59853 | But what room then does this leave for a Real Trinity of Persons, in this One, Simple, Uncompounded, Indivisible, Inseparable Nature? |
A59853 | But who ever thought of causes of Distinction and Unity in an Eternal Nature, which has no cause? |
A59853 | But, What it is that makes it One; or what the formal Conception of its Unity is? |
A59853 | Can Eternal Truth, and Infinite Wisdom in any thing vary from it self, to make two Eternal Truths, and Infinite Wisdoms? |
A59853 | Can any thing else give us so true and perfect a Character and Idea of each of them, as this does? |
A59853 | Can the Specifick Notional Unity of Human Nature, make three men one man, as the One common Divine Nature makes Three Persons One God? |
A59853 | Displicet cuiquam in Synodo Nicaena homousion esse susceptum? |
A59853 | Do not all the Christian Creeds teach us to profess our Faith in One God the Father, from whom the Son and the Holy Spirit receive their Godhead? |
A59853 | Do they mean, that there is but one Numerical Subsisting Nature common to all the Individuals? |
A59853 | Does the Father Will any thing? |
A59853 | Ergo inquis, das aliquam substantiam esse sermonem? |
A59853 | For what do these Fathers mean by a common Nature? |
A59853 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of man, which is in him? |
A59853 | For will we say, That the Trinity, or Three Persons, are but One Person? |
A59853 | Has God any Place; does he subsist in any thing but himself? |
A59853 | He must then partake of the Father: But what is that, and whence is it? |
A59853 | Here then we join issue with them, and desire them to shew us, what is impossible or contradictious in this Faith? |
A59853 | How there can be Three Incommunicable Persons, and Suppositums, and but One Nature, and that communicable to more than One? |
A59853 | Iam nunc quaeritur, quis quomodo utatur aliqua re& vocabulo ejus? |
A59853 | If I am asked not only Who but What the Three in the Ever- blessed Trinity are? |
A59853 | If the Unity of the Divine Nature be but a Notion, the Unity of God, the Unity of the Trinity, which is this One God, must be a meer Notion also? |
A59853 | If you inquire, what Spirit, and what Matter is? |
A59853 | In qua ● ffigie Dei? |
A59853 | Is it any thing more, than that there is and can be but One Eternal Self- originated Being, who is the Principle or Cause of all other Beings? |
A59853 | Is it because none is, or can be God, True and Perfect God, but he, who is God of himself, Self- originated and Unbegotten? |
A59853 | Is it such a direct Contradiction to Sense and Reason, to say, That there is alius,& alius,& alius, in the Trinity, but not aliud? |
A59853 | Is it the Son of God, that Eternal Word, which was in the beginning, was with God, and was God? |
A59853 | Is not the Son God? |
A59853 | Is not the Unity of God the fundamental Article of Natural Religion? |
A59853 | Is there any thing else which is common to them, but the Name and Nature of God? |
A59853 | Is this Extraordinary Power a Divine Subsisting Person, in the true and proper Notion of a Person? |
A59853 | Is this Extraordinary Power so united to Human Nature, as to become Man? |
A59853 | Let me then ask this plain Question: When Five hundred Men hear the same Man speak, do they all hear one and the same Voice, or Five hundred Voices? |
A59853 | Let our Socinian Adversaries tell us, what there is absurd, impossible, or contradictious in this Faith? |
A59853 | Non haben ● o autem filium cum ipse sum flius, quem ● do pater ero? |
A59853 | Now if this be true, what Apology can be made for them? |
A59853 | Now what is the meaning of this? |
A59853 | Now will any man say, That the One Divinity, or One Divine Nature, and One God, is a meer Notion? |
A59853 | Now, says he, in what Image of God, was he? |
A59853 | Or how can the Father, who is greater, be at all in the Son, who is less? |
A59853 | Or how much we must believe of them? |
A59853 | Or what wonder is it, that the Son should be in the Father, when it is written of us all, That in him we live, and move, and have our being? |
A59853 | Prolatus est Sermo Dei an non? |
A59853 | Quid agis Lot sancte? |
A59853 | Quid est enim Filius de eo quod Pater est? |
A59853 | So far he is in the right; but what is this different way? |
A59853 | That a Perfect, Living, Subsisting Image, should not be perfectly the same with its Prototype, from whom it receives its Being and Nature? |
A59853 | That the One Common Divinity is One and Common, only as One Common Humanity is, that is, that it is perfectly the same in all? |
A59853 | The Question then is, Whether we must not believe the Doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation? |
A59853 | The short Question is this; Whether a True, Proper, Divine Person was Incarnate, in the Incarnation of Christ? |
A59853 | Then, says he, he must be the Son of God by participation; what is it then he partakes of? |
A59853 | These are two very different Questions, and of a very different consideration, What God is? |
A59853 | This sounds well; but why does he not speak out, and tell us what this Form of God is? |
A59853 | Three in One Substance, and thrice Once Substance? |
A59853 | Thus what is the Unity of Energy and Operation, but the same Conscious Will and Power acting distinctly, but inseparably in Three? |
A59853 | Vacua& inanis res est sermo De ●, qui filius dictus est, qui ipse Deus cogneminatus est? |
A59853 | Was he a Human Person; or the Person of the Son of God appearing in Human Nature? |
A59853 | Well, But is not the Father then, in his own Person, True and Perfect God, and the Son True and Perfect God, and the Holy Ghost True and Perfect God? |
A59853 | Well, but what is this Essence of a Mind, and this Unity of Essence, which makes a Mind One? |
A59853 | Well: What is necessary to be believed concerning the Trinity? |
A59853 | Well; but are there not Individual Men then, as well as a Common Nature? |
A59853 | What difference between Three Substances, and tria supposita? |
A59853 | What is it then that subsists by it self? |
A59853 | What then was Christ''s Human Nature? |
A59853 | What then was wanting to make us Human Nature a Human Person? |
A59853 | When we profess to believe that there are Three in the Unity of the Godhead the next question is, What Three they are? |
A59853 | Whether the True Divine Nature subsisting in him, a True Divine Person? |
A59853 | Will they venture to say, That it is absurd or contradictious, that God should have a Son? |
A59853 | Would not Human Nature be as perfectly the same in Three Persons or Subsistences, as the Idea of Human Nature is one and the same in Three Minds? |
A59853 | Would they have taught, That the Divinity may be numbred, and yet is without Number? |
A59853 | and Who this God is? |
A59853 | and how then is this One Individual Nature? |
A59853 | and the Spirit God? |
A59853 | but one Universal Human Nature in all the particular men in the World? |
A59853 | but, Whether the Son and Holy Ghost were truly and really distinct Persons from the Father, as the Catholick Church always believed? |
A59853 | if God have no Eternal Son, and therefore did not give his Eternal Son to become Man, and to suffer and dye for us? |
A59853 | or, How many partial Conceptions are united in One Idea? |
A59853 | that is, Have not each of these Divine Persons all the Divine Perfections included in the Notion and Idea of God? |
A59853 | thought I; How is this applicable to the Unity of God? |
A59853 | ut inanis solida,& vacuus plena,& incorporalis corporalia operatus sit? |
A59853 | whether he be Consubstantial with the Father, or have only a Nature like the Fathers, but not the same? |
A59853 | whether he be true perfect God, in opposition to the most perfect created Nature, or be only a made and Creature- God? |
A59853 | whether there were any time, the least conceivable moment before the Son was? |
A61550 | 1. relates to any thing beyond the beginning of the Gospel, and that Christ the Word, was before John the Baptists Preaching? |
A61550 | 10. from the 30. to the 39? |
A61550 | And I only desire to know whether you think the Evidence of Sense sufficient, as to the true Body of Christ, where it is supposed to be present? |
A61550 | And I pray what follows? |
A61550 | And I pray, into what would you resolve it? |
A61550 | And I pray, now tell me seriously, did the Tradition of Transubstantiation lie unquestion''d and quiet all this while? |
A61550 | And did you know the difference between the Substance of Flesh and Fish by your Tast? |
A61550 | And hath God revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity to the Church in this Age? |
A61550 | And is it not rather a justification of that sense, which they took his words in? |
A61550 | And what then? |
A61550 | And why may not St. Chrysostom mean so here? |
A61550 | And why not as well in any other? |
A61550 | Are there not strange things in them concerning the Eucharist? |
A61550 | Are those Accidents then the Body of Christ? |
A61550 | Are you in earnest? |
A61550 | Are you sure that Origen said this? |
A61550 | As for instance, can we not know a Man from a Horse, or an Elephant from a Mouse, or a piece of Bread from a Church? |
A61550 | As to what? |
A61550 | But I pray tell me, do you think the Fathers had no distinct Notion of a Body and Spirit, and the Essential Properties of both? |
A61550 | But I pray, Sir, what say you to what I have been discoursing? |
A61550 | But are there no other things impossible to be done? |
A61550 | But can we not know the difference of one Substance from another, by our Senses? |
A61550 | But doth this prove, that the Substance of the Bread is changed into the Substance of Christ''s Body? |
A61550 | But how is it possible for you to know it was so well known, if they spake not of it? |
A61550 | But how should we know their Faith but by their Works? |
A61550 | But is it not impossible for the same Body to be in two different times? |
A61550 | But is there any Greatness like that of Divine Honour? |
A61550 | But may not God advance a mere Creature to that Dignity, as to require Divine Worship to be given to him by his fellow- creatures? |
A61550 | But still how shall it be known that the Church received this Doctrine unanimously, if they do not speak expresly of it? |
A61550 | But suppose he did, must he enter with his flesh and bones, and not much rather by a peculiar presence of his Grace? |
A61550 | But suppose the Question be, about the Sense of these places which relate to the Churches Authority, how can a Man come to the certain Sense of them? |
A61550 | But that is not discerned by the Senses, he saith: and if it were, will he say, that the Substance of Bread is the Body of Christ? |
A61550 | But to make this more plain, Do you make any difference between Nature and Person? |
A61550 | But what if there be as great a repugnancy from St. Augustin''s Argument, for a Body to be present in several places at once? |
A61550 | But what is all this to the Testimony of the Christian Fathers? |
A61550 | But what is this to the Eucharist, you may say? |
A61550 | But what saith he? |
A61550 | But whence come you to know that the Church is to give the Sense of the Scriptures? |
A61550 | But where doth that speak of Transubstantiation? |
A61550 | But, doth this prove that there is no Unity of Nature between the Father and the Son? |
A61550 | Can you hold your Countenance when you repeat these things? |
A61550 | Did you not tell me, you would avoid Impertinencies? |
A61550 | Do not all things comprehend the Heaven and Earth? |
A61550 | Do not you know, that these are rejected as Supposititious, by your own Writers? |
A61550 | Do not you see already? |
A61550 | Do we deny the truth of Christ''s Human Nature? |
A61550 | Do we live among nothing but Accidents? |
A61550 | Do you believe that there are any Mysteries in the Christian Doctrine above Reason, or not? |
A61550 | Do you mean the same which the Church of Rome doth by it, in the Council of Trent? |
A61550 | Do you not say so in plain terms? |
A61550 | Do you then in earnest give up the Fathers as Disputants to us; but retain them as Believers to your selves? |
A61550 | Do you think Bellarmin could produce any thing like this for Transubstantiation? |
A61550 | Do you think I should not presently deny your Example, and say, your very Supposition is Heretical? |
A61550 | Do you think all hard words are akin, and so the affinity rises between Apollinarists and Transubstantiation? |
A61550 | Do you think one Creature can create another? |
A61550 | Do you think that Irenoeus believed the substance of Christ''s Body was turned into the substance of our Bodies, in order to their nourishment? |
A61550 | Doth Irenoeus say so? |
A61550 | Doth not the Scripture say, there are some things impossible for God to do? |
A61550 | Doth this look like correcting a dangerous mistake in the Jews? |
A61550 | Expresly against it? |
A61550 | For I pray what doth he mean when he saith, he believes from Christ''s own Words, that it is the Body of Christ? |
A61550 | For, how is it possible for extended Parts to have no Relation to Place? |
A61550 | God or the Church? |
A61550 | Have I not hitherto owned, that there must be something incomprehensible by us, in what relates to the Divine Nature? |
A61550 | Have a little Patience; Did not Christ design by his Doctrine to root out those false Religions? |
A61550 | Have you observed what the Fathers say about the difference of Body and Spirit? |
A61550 | How can this hold, if the Body of Christ can be in Heaven and Earth at the same time? |
A61550 | How can those men want Proofs, that can draw Transubstantiation from these Words, which are so plain against it? |
A61550 | How doth it appear? |
A61550 | How doth that appear? |
A61550 | How then can the Creation prove an Infinite Power? |
A61550 | I hope you allow his Epistles? |
A61550 | I pray answer me one Question, Did you ever keep Lent? |
A61550 | I pray tell me what you mean by a Body, as it is opposed to a Spirit? |
A61550 | I pray tell me, Were there not false Religions in the World when Christ came into it to plant the true Religion? |
A61550 | I pray tell me, doth the difference between God and his Creatures, depend on the will of the Church? |
A61550 | I pray tell me, have you any certainty there is such a thing as a material Substance in the World? |
A61550 | If so be then it appears more difficult in an infinite and incomprehensible Being, what Cause have we to wonder at it? |
A61550 | If the Question be, how the same individual Nature can be communicated to three distinct Persons? |
A61550 | If this were the same, what need any distinction? |
A61550 | Into no Reason? |
A61550 | Is it from the Scripture, or not? |
A61550 | Is it lawful by the Christian Doctrine to give proper Divine Worship to a Creature? |
A61550 | Is it not as repugnant for a Body to be after the manner of a Spirit, as for a Body and Spirit to be the same? |
A61550 | Is it not more wonderful, as Bellarmin observes, that there should be one Hypostasis in two Natures, than one Body in two Places? |
A61550 | Is it the Accidents he speaks of before? |
A61550 | Is it the Substance of Bread? |
A61550 | Is it then in the Churches Power to give that to a Creature, which belongs only to God? |
A61550 | Is not here one Sense more than you believe? |
A61550 | Is that your meaning? |
A61550 | Is there a perpetual Miracle to deceive our Senses? |
A61550 | Is there any real difference between the Nature of a Body and Spirit? |
A61550 | Is there no difference between the Perception of Sense, and the Evidence of Sense? |
A61550 | Is there not the same Repugnancy for a Body in Heaven to be upon Earth, as for a Body upon Earth to be in Heaven? |
A61550 | Is this it which chokes your Reason, so that you can not swallow the Doctrine of the Church in this matter? |
A61550 | Is this possible to be reconciled with your Notion of a Body being present after the manner of a Spirit? |
A61550 | Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, I said ye are Gods? |
A61550 | No? |
A61550 | Nothing more, but that St. Augustin disproved it, because his Body could not be at the same time in the Sun and Moon, and upon Earth? |
A61550 | Or can we know nothing beyond them? |
A61550 | P. All this proceeds upon the old Philosophy of Accidents: What if there be none at all? |
A61550 | P. And what do you infer from hence? |
A61550 | P. And what now would you infer from hence? |
A61550 | P. And what of all this? |
A61550 | P. And what then? |
A61550 | P. Are not the Divine Persons Infinite, as well as the Divine Nature? |
A61550 | P. But doth not Tertullian say afterwards, That the Bread was the figure of Christ''s body in the Old Testament? |
A61550 | P. But if the Three Persons be Coëternal, how is it possible to conceive there should not be three Eternals? |
A61550 | P. But was not Theodoret a Man of suspected Faith in ● he Church? |
A61550 | P. But what is it which makes one not to be the other, when they have the same common Nature? |
A61550 | P. But what say you to the Athanasian Creed; is not that repugnant to humane Reason? |
A61550 | P. But what say you to the damning all those who do not believe it, in the beginning and end of it? |
A61550 | P. But what will you do with it now you have it? |
A61550 | P. But where is it, that such Divine Worship is required to be given to Christ in Scripture? |
A61550 | P. Doth not Tertullian say, That it had not been the Figure, unless it had been the Truth? |
A61550 | P. Have not learned and acute Men doubted of the Divinity of Christ, as of Transubstantiation? |
A61550 | P. Have you any more that talk at this rate? |
A61550 | P. How can there be an Union possible, between two Beings infinitely distant from each other? |
A61550 | P. How do you make that appear? |
A61550 | P. How is that? |
A61550 | P. Is it not said elsewhere, That he that keepeth his Commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him? |
A61550 | P. May not God communicate his own Worship to him? |
A61550 | P. Methink you are very long upon this Argument; when shall we have done at this rate? |
A61550 | P. That is strange: Is not the Church often spoken of in Scripture? |
A61550 | P. That must be tried; What say you to Ignatius? |
A61550 | P. The Substance? |
A61550 | P. Then you think the Trinity can be proved from Scripture? |
A61550 | P. What a strange Question is this? |
A61550 | P. What are they? |
A61550 | P. What can we mean else? |
A61550 | P. What do you mean? |
A61550 | P. What doth all this signify, but that the Authority of the Church must determine whether there be two Natures, or two Persons in Christ? |
A61550 | P. What follows? |
A61550 | P. What have we been about all this while? |
A61550 | P. What have we to do with the Apollinarists? |
A61550 | P. What means all this ado before you come to the Point? |
A61550 | P. What of all that? |
A61550 | P. What say you then to the Mystery of the Incarnation? |
A61550 | P. What say you to Eusebius Emesenus? |
A61550 | P. What say you to St. Cyprian de Coena Domini? |
A61550 | P. What think you of the Acts of St. Andrew, and what he saith therein, about eating the Flesh of Christ? |
A61550 | P. What would you draw from hence? |
A61550 | P. Wherein I pray, did that Heresy consist? |
A61550 | P. Who doubts of that? |
A61550 | P. Who were they? |
A61550 | P. Why do you suspect me before I begin? |
A61550 | P. Why not? |
A61550 | P. Why not? |
A61550 | P. Why not? |
A61550 | P. Why not? |
A61550 | P. Why; what is the matter? |
A61550 | P. Will not you let a Man shew a little Jewish Learning upon occasion? |
A61550 | P. Yes; but how far is this from the business? |
A61550 | Sclater, Edward, 1623- 1699? |
A61550 | Suppose now we grant all this, that there is an incomprehensible Mystery in the Incarnation, what follows from thence? |
A61550 | That the substance of the Elements is gone: Where lies the Consequence? |
A61550 | Then why may not the greatest Body be within the least? |
A61550 | Then you have an extraordinary Tast, which goes to the very Substance? |
A61550 | This is the utmost your Cause will bear; but I pray tell me, Is there any such thing as a Repugnancy in the Nature of things or not? |
A61550 | VVho could possibly understand this of the old Creation? |
A61550 | Was it the Substance of Flesh you abstained from, or only the Accidents of it? |
A61550 | Was this Argument of the Apostle good or not? |
A61550 | Was this indeed your meaning? |
A61550 | Was this possible or not? |
A61550 | Were the Gentiles guilty of Idolatry in that respect, or not? |
A61550 | What Comfort will that be to you, when you are called to an account for your self? |
A61550 | What Texts do you mean? |
A61550 | What again? |
A61550 | What do you mean by Gods Instrument in the Creation? |
A61550 | What do you prove from this place? |
A61550 | What if you do not hear his Voice, do you not see him lying before you? |
A61550 | What if you had been to dispute with Nestorius and Eutyches? |
A61550 | What is it, I pray, to believe? |
A61550 | What is this It? |
A61550 | What is this to Transubstantiation? |
A61550 | What say you to a Pope, whom you account Head of the Church? |
A61550 | What then is to be said to such expressions of S. Chrysostom? |
A61550 | What then makes the same Impression on our Senses when the Substance is gone, as when it was there? |
A61550 | What then? |
A61550 | What think you now of the Proofs of the Trinity in Scripture? |
A61550 | What think you of making the time past not to be past? |
A61550 | What think you of the Manichees Doctrine, who held that Christ was in the Sun and Moon when he suffered on the Cross? |
A61550 | What think you of this? |
A61550 | What think you then of St. Augustin, who makes it impossible for a Body to be without its Dimensions and Extension of Parts? |
A61550 | Whence comes the certainty of the Substance, since your Senses can not discover it? |
A61550 | Wherein did this Inconsistency lie? |
A61550 | Wherein lies it? |
A61550 | Wherein lies it? |
A61550 | Wherein lies the nature of that which you call proper Divine Worship? |
A61550 | Which have run much in my Mind: For if the holy Spirit instruct us, what need is there of an Infallible Church? |
A61550 | Who doubts but there are other sorts of Unities, besides that of Nature? |
A61550 | Who then is to be judg what belongs to God, and what not? |
A61550 | Who was there that opposed things before they were thought of? |
A61550 | Why may not an Elephant be caught in a Mouse- trap, and a Rhinoceros be put into a Snuff- box? |
A61550 | Why not as to the Trinity, which to my understanding, is much plainer there, than the Churches Authority? |
A61550 | Why not then in two or more different Places; since a Body is as certainly confined, as to Place, as it is to Time? |
A61550 | Will you make the Power of God to change the Essential Properties of things, while the things themselves remain in their true Nature? |
A61550 | Will you promise to hold close to the Argument your self? |
A61550 | Will you prove that? |
A61550 | Will you undertake to explain that to me? |
A61550 | With Coccius or Bellarmin, you mean; but before you produce them, I pray tell me what you intend to prove by them? |
A61550 | Without any Reason? |
A61550 | Would you hence infer an Unity of Nature between Christ and Believers? |
A61550 | You put very odd Figures upon Tertullian: I appeal to any reasonable man, whether by the latter words he doth not explain the former? |
A61550 | but where is the Second? |
A61550 | that a Man''s Head, and Shoulders, and Arms, should be contained entire and distinct under the Nail of his little Finger? |
A61550 | the Homilies on Philogonius and the Cross? |
A61550 | there are such and such Accidents belong to every one of these; but our Senses are not so extraprdinary to discover the Substances under them? |
A60941 | 1688? |
A60941 | 9. representing Him to their thoughts, as an Old Man sitting in Heaven? |
A60941 | A Rational, a Sensitive, and a Vegetative? |
A60941 | Again, is Pardon of Sin an Essential Act of God''s Iustice? |
A60941 | Agreeably to all which, Seneca in the Preface to his Natural Questions, putting the Question, Quid est Deus? |
A60941 | And I would fain know, Whether this Man of Paradox, will affirm, That God Loves every Thing which he has a true Knowledge and Estimation of? |
A60941 | And St. Ierom in his Epistle to Damasus, Quis ore sacrilego Tres substantias praedicabit? |
A60941 | And after this tell us, That this gives no Account at all, how Three distinct Persons come to have but one Will and Energy, Power and Operation? |
A60941 | And are not these passages an Account of his Dealings and Operations in the Government of the World? |
A60941 | And besides, if a Mind, or Spirit, were not a Substance, what could it be else? |
A60941 | And can so Learned, and every way Excellent a Clergy bear this? |
A60941 | And does not this look mightily agreeable to all the Principles of Reason and Divinity? |
A60941 | And here if it should be asked, How they differ, and whether it be by any real distinction between the Persons? |
A60941 | And how can a Spirit incur directly into that? |
A60941 | And how does he acquit himself as to this? |
A60941 | And how does he prove this 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to be Mutual Consciousness? |
A60941 | And if True, whether one Truth can any more obscure, perplex, and confound, than it can contradict another Truth? |
A60941 | And if so, must we not needs find a great difficulty in knowing it? |
A60941 | And if they derived this Perfection from their Souls, must not their Souls have been eminently perfect themselves, which rendred them so? |
A60941 | And in the next, assert also, that this Unity of Nature is proved by Unity of Energy and Operation? |
A60941 | And is not this close and profound reasoning? |
A60941 | And now can this Man pretend to speak these Things in the Person of one who thus Abhors, Abominates, and Detests them? |
A60941 | And now, is not this( think we) a most proper and fit posture for such as view and look into things very plain, obvious, and intelligible? |
A60941 | And now, what Relation does or can such an Act of Self- Consciousness imply in it? |
A60941 | And now, what does all this prove? |
A60941 | And that therefore the Laws will be very severe upon such as invade his Property? |
A60941 | And that we can have no Notion of Substance, but what implies in it something gross and material? |
A60941 | And then lastly for the School- men, who could have expected fewer of them also, than Ten, or Twenty? |
A60941 | And then, Where could be the Freedom of this Grace? |
A60941 | And to throw his Scurrility at High, and Low, at all About him, Above him, and Below him( if there be any such) at this insufferable rate? |
A60941 | And what of all this, I pray? |
A60941 | And what sence can there be in affirming, or saying, That they are but one distinct Infinite Mind? |
A60941 | And who denies this? |
A60941 | And will this bold over bearing Man, after all this, Claim their meaning to be the same with his? |
A60941 | And, What is the distinction between Essence, and Personality, and Subsistence? |
A60941 | And, are they so? |
A60941 | And, since Things were so in former Days, what hinders, but that in these latter Days likewise, the same, if not prevented, may happen again? |
A60941 | And, what is yet more, does it not more properly belong to any other of the Divine Acts, than to an Act of Knowledge? |
A60941 | Any more than he who says, That the Father is God, and the Son God, affirms them to be Two distinct Gods? |
A60941 | Are we able to comprehend them perfectly, and to the utmost of what, and how they are? |
A60941 | As, First, Whether the Soul, or Mind of Man be one Person, and the Man himself Another? |
A60941 | Basil, Theodoret, Epiphanius, with several more, all alledged in his behalf? |
A60941 | Between That, without which a Thing can not be, and that, which that Thing properly is? |
A60941 | But I demand of him, does Athanasius here speak of them as of Three Persons, or no? |
A60941 | But also, and much more properly to the Question, that enquires, What kind of Nature, or Essence such a thing is of? |
A60941 | But did his Adversary, Dr. Owen, ever speak so? |
A60941 | But does this inferr, That He is therefore a distinct Intelligent Mind, or Being from the Father? |
A60941 | But how then comes there to be only Three? |
A60941 | But may not others therefore, who are wiser, conceive more worthily of him, without laying aside that Scripture- expression? |
A60941 | But now if any one should ask me, What this Generation and Filiation, this Spiration and Procession are? |
A60941 | But perhaps it will be here said, if these Modes are not so many meer Nothings, or Entia Rationis, what order, or rank shall they be placed in? |
A60941 | But suppose, these unlucky Wits had used some new Terms, have they taught any new Faith about the Trinity in Unity, which the Church did not teach? |
A60941 | But then, I ask him, are not the Divine Operations so too? |
A60941 | But what is this to Spiritual Substances? |
A60941 | But what is this to our Author''s Purpose? |
A60941 | But what must we call them then? |
A60941 | But what shall we say to the Charge of Heresie,( in which St. Austin would have no Person, who is so charged to be silent?) |
A60941 | But where then may we find it? |
A60941 | But why do I speak of reconciling Contradictions? |
A60941 | But why do I speak of the Greek and Latine Fathers? |
A60941 | But why must the School- men bear all the blame of this? |
A60941 | But will this Man conclude, That where there is no Absurdity, there is therefore no Difficulty neither? |
A60941 | But you will say, From whom? |
A60941 | But you will say: Does not this infer Four Persons in the Godhead? |
A60941 | But, why, I pray? |
A60941 | Could you not as well have said, Let us change Saddles? |
A60941 | Do all, or any of the fore- mentioned Terms signifie Mutual Consciousness? |
A60941 | Do these Words speak of these Persons as distinguished, or do they not? |
A60941 | Does he,( I would fain know) in this speak his Judgment, or his Breeding? |
A60941 | For What Reason can be given of this? |
A60941 | For does he, or can he think to Live and Converse in the World upon these Terms? |
A60941 | For does not Unity of Nature, in these three distinct Persons prove this? |
A60941 | For has he lost his daring Polemick Pen? |
A60941 | For if we describe his Nature by any particular Attribute, or Perfection, and be thereupon asked, What that is? |
A60941 | For is it good arguing to conclude, That because a thing is actually thus or thus, it can not possibly be otherwise? |
A60941 | For must it be Nonsence not to own Contradictions? |
A60941 | For otherwise how come so many Socinian Pieces wrote against him to lie so long unanswered? |
A60941 | For the Nature and Condition of the Thing will not have it so, nor have the Ablest Divines ever thought it so,( for where then were the Mystery?) |
A60941 | For this is an Answer, not only to that Question, that enquires, Whether there be such a thing, or Essence, or no? |
A60941 | For will any one say, That the Soul can either Create or Generate the Person, or( to speak more plainly) the Man who is the Person? |
A60941 | For will he say, That the School- men do not grant such Modes to be in God, after he himself has done his poor utmost to confute them for holding it? |
A60941 | For will he, in the first place, assert, in the Three Divine Persons a Numerical Unity of Nature? |
A60941 | For will this Author put out the Eyes of his Reader? |
A60941 | For, Why not a Substance without Beginning, as well as Truth, or Wisdom, or Goodness, without a Beginning? |
A60941 | From Servetus, or Socinus,( from whom also it was borrowed) than from a Son of the Church, in a Book published by Licence and Authority? |
A60941 | How can Three distinct Persons have but One Numerical Substance? |
A60941 | How can three distinct Persons have but one Numerical Substance? |
A60941 | I Answer, What if we can not? |
A60941 | I tell him, This is not the Point in Controversie, Whether we can imagine it, or no? |
A60941 | If it be here now asked: Whether Subsistence, or Suppositality added to bare Nature, does not make a Composition? |
A60941 | In the mean time, why should any one who had reàd but a Page in Calvin, quote him for such a word as could not possibly drop from so Learned a Pen? |
A60941 | In what the Father''s placed the Unity in Trinity? |
A60941 | In which case, who must be the Person drawing them? |
A60941 | Indeed no more than that Reply of Hazael, Is thy Servant a Dog? |
A60941 | Is a Beast an Intelligent Substance? |
A60941 | Is it because this Author has got the Monopoly of them, and engrossed them all to himself? |
A60941 | Is there so much as one Tittle in the Fathers expressing, or necessarily implying, that it is so? |
A60941 | Is this( says he) Language becoming a Son of the Church of England? |
A60941 | It is so far from being a wonder to meet with any Thing[ whose Nature] we do not understand,& c. But is this Sence, or Grammar? |
A60941 | Master, What needs all these Words? |
A60941 | Must nothing be applyed to God, but what shall let us into the full knowledge of all that is difficult and mysterious in the Divine Nature? |
A60941 | Must we all take up in Scepticism, and acknowledge, that nothing is to be known? |
A60941 | Nay, Where could be this Grace it self? |
A60941 | Nay, on the contrary, does it not Exert it self in Infinite other Acts? |
A60941 | Now all this is very true; but how will our Author bring it to his purpose? |
A60941 | Now how shall we reconcile these blind Assertions, that so cruelly bu ● t and run their Heads against one another? |
A60941 | Or an Act of Sight such a Circulation? |
A60941 | Or can we think that the Fathers wrote Things without Words, as some do but too often write Words without Things? |
A60941 | Or charge them as the necessary Consequences of his Doctrine, without proving, or by any formed Argument so much as offering to prove them so? |
A60941 | Or did that Act consist in a Wise proportion of Rewards and Punishments, before there was any Act of the Creature to be Rewarded, or Punished? |
A60941 | Or does any Man say, Reach me that Book,[ who lies there] or that Chair[ who stands there?] |
A60941 | Or does he never reflect upon himself, nor consider, That though he does not, others assuredly will? |
A60941 | Or does the Son''s Relation to the Father consist in his being Conscious to himself of this Relation? |
A60941 | Or has he lost the use of his Hand? |
A60941 | Or has he run himself out of Breath? |
A60941 | Or must it be Heresie not to Subscribe to Tritheisme, as the best and most Orthodox Explication of the Article of the Trinity? |
A60941 | Or that this 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 in the whole Latitude and Compass of it extends no further? |
A60941 | Or the Language, they wrote in, too scanty to express their Speculations by? |
A60941 | Or use the Expressions here uttered by this Author? |
A60941 | Or what does it conclude for him? |
A60941 | Or will he say, That our Saviour meant the same Thing with himself, but was not so happy in expressing it? |
A60941 | Or, can a Beast be a Person, and yet not an Intelligent Substance, when he affirms, That they are Terms Reciprocal? |
A60941 | Or, that Self- Consciousness is the proper ground, or Reason of their distinction? |
A60941 | Ought it not more justly to have been expected from a Iew, or a Mahometan? |
A60941 | Pray what hurt have they done? |
A60941 | Quid enim insanius? |
A60941 | Quod si tenemus, cur non& magnitudinis suae,& bonitatis,& aeternitatis,& omnipotentiae suae Generator sit? |
A60941 | So that the Matter being in effect brought to this point, Whether He shall be too hard for the World, or the World for Him? |
A60941 | So that we see here what our Author asserts; But may we rely upon it, and hold him to his Word? |
A60941 | So that, that which removes one, must needs remove the other too? |
A60941 | That God created the Heavens and the Earth, and that therefore the Three Divine Persons are and must be one, only by an Unity of Mutual Consciousness? |
A60941 | That One infinite Spirit is Three distinct Infinite Spirits? |
A60941 | That as Generation and Filiation make two, so Spiration and Procession should make two more? |
A60941 | That, by which it is it self formally a Person, and that other, which by its Constituting it self a Person, is Constituted and caused by it? |
A60941 | The Question before him was, Whether the Three Divine Persons were Three Gods? |
A60941 | There is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost? |
A60941 | Was either the Thing it self( as I noted before) of such deep, or sublime Speculation, as not to be reached by them? |
A60941 | Was it the School, the University, or Gravel- Lane, that taught him this Language? |
A60941 | Well; and what then? |
A60941 | What can the meaning of this be? |
A60941 | What is God? |
A60941 | What is Intellectual Love( says this Author) but the true Knowledge, or Estimation of Things? |
A60941 | What is Iustice and Goodness but an equal Distribution of, or a true and wise Proportion of Rewards and Punishments? |
A60941 | What is perfect Power, but perfect Truth and Wisdom which can do whatsoever it knows? |
A60941 | What is the Distinction between Essence, and Personality, and Subsistence? |
A60941 | What is the Substance and Nature of God? |
A60941 | What then mean those Words of the Creed? |
A60941 | What then will that old Principle of Nature, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, serve for, but to tantalize and torment us? |
A60941 | What( says our Author) is the Substance, or Nature of God? |
A60941 | Whereupon I would again learn of him how many steps are necessary to explain Mutual- Conciousness? |
A60941 | Whether it be so in Infinite? |
A60941 | Whether or no Self- Consciousness be the Reason of Personality in Finite Persons? |
A60941 | Whether the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity are not Mutually Conscious to one another of their Mutual In- existence in one another? |
A60941 | Why does he let St. Austin escape, from whom the Master of the Sentences borrowed most of his Distinctions and Subtleties? |
A60941 | Why, how then comes a Beast, in page 269. to be a Person? |
A60941 | Why, in the first place we must search and enquire, whether it be so, or no? |
A60941 | Why? |
A60941 | all drawn forth in Rank and File, to have fought his Battels? |
A60941 | and whether God revealed them for any other purpose than that he might be known and understood by them? |
A60941 | or, whether there be one between the first and the second? |
A60941 | the Words and Actions of Men, which they both Exist in, and Converse about? |
A60953 | 11. tell us, That the Nature of a Spirit consists in Internal Vital Sensation? |
A60953 | And I demand of him whether he, or any Man living, can frame in his Mind such a Conception of it? |
A60953 | And I do here demand of him, Whether they are so or no? |
A60953 | And again, Can they be one before they are mutually conscious? |
A60953 | And again, I demand of him, Whether the Divine Nature and Persons consider''d all together are not one pure, simple, uncompounded Act or Being? |
A60953 | And again, Is not the Perfection of Nature a Natural Perfection? |
A60953 | And consequently, that all that can be concluded from them, is but Childish Sophistry? |
A60953 | And did not the bare Revelation of it sufficiently make out the Possibility of it to us, without any further Explication? |
A60953 | And here he asks the Question, What the Three Divine Persons in the Vnity of the Divine Essence are? |
A60953 | And here, I pray, what does the living Image do towards the setting forth of this? |
A60953 | And how does our Author counter- argue this? |
A60953 | And how does this Defender confute it? |
A60953 | And if so; what need( say I) can there be of a Resurrection? |
A60953 | And in the next place, whether they are not his own? |
A60953 | And indeed what other Kind of Union can it be? |
A60953 | And is not this, think we, a Demonstration? |
A60953 | And is not this, think we, a blessed Assertion, both in Philosophy and Divinity? |
A60953 | And may He so? |
A60953 | And now has not this Author, think we, shewn himself an 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉- Man indeed? |
A60953 | And now how does he clear himself of this Argument? |
A60953 | And now is any Man alive able to stand his ground against such an over- bearing Objection? |
A60953 | And now must all this be done by Terms unusual, inconvenient, and improper, and never used expresly upon this Subject( but hy Hereticks) before? |
A60953 | And now what is all this to the Principle of Consciousness? |
A60953 | And now, Reverend Sirs, what can my design be in thus applying my self to you? |
A60953 | And now, what Relation does, or can such an Act of Self- Consciousness imply in it? |
A60953 | And now, what has this Defender here to except against? |
A60953 | And therefore to that Question of his, Does the formal Reason of Personality make or limit the Number of Persons? |
A60953 | And therefore to that Senceless Question of his, Is God an Attribute? |
A60953 | And what Christian is concern''d to have any such Conception? |
A60953 | And what can this Man oppose to this Argument with the least shew or shaddow of Reason? |
A60953 | And what does he answer to this? |
A60953 | And what does his Metaphor of feeling mean, but something which is as much an Act of the Mind, as that, in the proper sence of it, is of the Body? |
A60953 | And what does this Defender answer to these? |
A60953 | And what has our Defender now to oppose to this Argument? |
A60953 | And what is that? |
A60953 | And what is that? |
A60953 | And what says Sir Scorn and Ignorance to this? |
A60953 | And what says he to this? |
A60953 | And what says our Author to the contrary? |
A60953 | And what says our Author to this? |
A60953 | And what then? |
A60953 | And what though it does not? |
A60953 | And what, I ask, is having a conscious Sensation, but actual Consciousness? |
A60953 | And where then, I pray, was the Defect of these material Images and Resemblances, as they were used and applied by the Fathers? |
A60953 | And will His Ignorance then Exact the Popular use of a Word of Phrase, according to the strictness of its litteral signification? |
A60953 | And will he grant This? |
A60953 | And will this Man argue from one sort of Union to another, between which there is no Cognation at all? |
A60953 | And will this Man now perswade the World, that Acts of Knowledge and Acts of Feeling or Sensation, signify the Principles of these several Acts? |
A60953 | And will this Man say, That any Thing can be essential to the Vnity of the one, which is not as essential to the Vnity of the other? |
A60953 | And will this Man say, That the proving of a Thing to be thus and thus, and the making it to be so, are the same? |
A60953 | Answer to all Enquiries à Priore, why or how a Thing comes to be essentially such or such, according to its respective Denomination? |
A60953 | Are not these Accounts( says he) much more chargeable with Tritheism, or Sabellianism, than the Account he gives of them by Three Minds or Spirits? |
A60953 | As if, for Instance, it should be asked, why or for what Reason a Beast is said to be a sensible Creature? |
A60953 | But after all, may I not ask him this short Question? |
A60953 | But an Act of mutual Consciousness is but an Act of Knowledge,& c. And what answer does he give to this? |
A60953 | But as for the Risibility he is so much concerned against, do not all the Schools of Philosophy make Risibility the Property of a man? |
A60953 | But can it then be part of a Compound which is not actually in being? |
A60953 | But can this Man make it appear, That any Philosopher and Divine does this? |
A60953 | But does he know what is and what is not an Argument? |
A60953 | But has this man''s Confidence so totally swallow''d up his Conscience, that he dares offer so notorious a Falshood to the World in print? |
A60953 | But he has not done with his Questions yet, but asks us, Whether to differ in Number, and to differ in Substance and Nature be the same thing? |
A60953 | But he now lays about him at an higher rate: Does this profound Philosopher( says He) think indeed that the Body either sins or suffers? |
A60953 | But how did he answer it? |
A60953 | But how does this affect the Animadverter, or how does it prove his Argument, which proceeds upon a different Major Terminus, to be false too? |
A60953 | But how in the name of all the Fairies( amongst whom he is no small Prince) comes he to be so fierce and furious against the Animadverter? |
A60953 | But is this fair dealing in disputation, or a just and true Representation of the Animadverter''s Assertion? |
A60953 | But must the Animadverter then pass for a Transcriber? |
A60953 | But now what is all this to the Vnion between the Soul and Body, which are vitally united as essential Parts of the whole Humane Person? |
A60953 | But now, under which of these capacities is it the Formal Reason of a Person? |
A60953 | But says He again, Does not St. Paul desire to be absent from the Body, and present with the Lord? |
A60953 | But the main question is, whether the 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 be sufficient to express this or no? |
A60953 | But then are not these modi subsistenti, Modes? |
A60953 | But was he never taught also the Difference between the Principium Quod, and the Principium Quo of an Action? |
A60953 | But was there ever such a Rhodomontade in words, so Big with Nothing, and without one grain of sense at the Bottom of them? |
A60953 | But what illogical confused stuff is this? |
A60953 | But what is this his boasted of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 after all? |
A60953 | But what then would he have the Animadverter to prove? |
A60953 | But what would these Abject Creatures have? |
A60953 | But what wretched Inconsequences are these? |
A60953 | But whether it be the Formal Reason of it, or( in other words) that wherein the said Personality and Personal Vnity properly does consist? |
A60953 | But why do I dispute against such sottish Paradoxes, which all the Schools in Christendome would hiss, or rather spit at the Author of them for? |
A60953 | But why should I spend words in disputing a thing so obvious to any Man of Sence? |
A60953 | But why then does he stop here, without giving us the True Account what Substance positively is? |
A60953 | But will this man say, That these two Propositions[ Three can not be One] and[ Three Infinite Minds can not be One Infinite Mind] are the same? |
A60953 | But will this shameless Falsificator say so? |
A60953 | But you will say, do not all these great defects render a Man more Imperfect than he would be otherwise? |
A60953 | But you will say, what is it then that formally constitutes a Person? |
A60953 | But, in the mean time, what flat downright Railing is this? |
A60953 | But, says the Defender, are not Three Infinite Intelligent Persons as much Three Absolute simple Beings and Essences as Three Minds? |
A60953 | Col. 2. l. 30. on the other? |
A60953 | Concerning the Trinity, when it is the Subject of this Dispute alone which we are here concerned in? |
A60953 | Could there well be a grosser Blunder than to call that the Instrument of Rewards and Punishments, which is properly the subject of them? |
A60953 | Cur Pater Spiritus dicitur,& Filius Spiritus nuncupatur,& Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus appellatur? |
A60953 | Did he speak one tittle in preference of Oxford before Cambridge? |
A60953 | Does he mean( says He) That it is essential to the Soul to live in an earthly Body? |
A60953 | Does he not say it? |
A60953 | Does that which makes John a Person make him a Father? |
A60953 | Does the Man( says He) and his Person dye? |
A60953 | First, Whether it be contrary to Reason or no? |
A60953 | First, Whether the Eternal 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 before the Incarnation were a Compleat Being? |
A60953 | For are not the Sun and its light and splendor, as much Three, but not so much one as Three Conscious Minds? |
A60953 | For are the Father and the Son the Trinity without the Holy Ghost? |
A60953 | For are there not partial Distinctions, and modal distinctions, and accidental distinctions of some things? |
A60953 | For can a Person''s perceiving his own Distinction, properly make, or give him this Distinction? |
A60953 | For can an Accident Cogitare? |
A60953 | For did the Catholick Church ever pretend to any beyond the bare Knowledge of the Signification and Sense of the Terms in which it was revealed? |
A60953 | For do not the Divine Persons mutually know and mutually love one another? |
A60953 | For does the word feeling, in the proper use of it, signify any thing Spiritual? |
A60953 | For has he not declared, That his Notion of a Trinity solves all doubts and difficulties about it? |
A60953 | For how can the Divine Essence be conceived to make the Person? |
A60953 | For if he could do the former, what Reason can there be why he should not be able to do the latter? |
A60953 | For is an Account of a Thing by way of Allusion, and an Account analogous to a Definition, all one? |
A60953 | For says he very Learnedly, A Mystery is a Thing, and therefore how can it be derived from a Word? |
A60953 | For will he conclude the same of the Concrete, which he does of the Abstract? |
A60953 | For will he pretend to explain a Thing in it self obscure by another that is more obscure, and( which is worse) impossible besides? |
A60953 | For, are Men''s Words to be understood by their Meaning, or their Meaning by their Words? |
A60953 | For, has the Animadverter in his Book given the least occasion for this? |
A60953 | His third Question is, Can there be any other mutual in- being of Minds but by Mutual Consciousness? |
A60953 | I appeal, I say, to any Man of Judgment alive, whether this be not the greater and more inexplicable Difficulty of the Two? |
A60953 | I find and feel my self to be one Man, and to be distinct and separate from all others; but does this therefore make me to be so? |
A60953 | If not, what Idea of a Trinity can be drawn from these Two? |
A60953 | If( says he) a Natural Self- Conscious Sensation makes a Spirit one with it self, why should not a mutual Conscious Sensation Vnite Three into One? |
A60953 | In like manner the Divine Persons are said to be Three distinct Infinite Persons: but how? |
A60953 | Is a similitude or bare Resemblance of a Thing, and a proper Representation or Description of the Nature of that Thing the same? |
A60953 | Is not the Perfection of our Graces the perfection of humane Nature? |
A60953 | Is there not a wide difference between shewing what a Thing is like, and what it really and properly is? |
A60953 | Nam si Tu per singula Nomina Personarum Vnitum Nomen Spiritus ter designâsti, nunquid Tres Spiritus dicere oportebat? |
A60953 | Nay, and does he not repeat the same in several places of both his Books, as we have from several passages, cited out of them, before demonstrated? |
A60953 | No? |
A60953 | Now I ask this Man, Are the words here quoted by me his, or are they not? |
A60953 | Now I ask this Self- Contradictor first, whether any words can be more plain and expressive than these? |
A60953 | Now I would have this Acute Author tell me, How there can be Resemblances without Likeness, or Likeness without Resemblance? |
A60953 | Or does my being so consist in my feeling my self to be so? |
A60953 | Or lastly, That the Divine Persons are any more than only distinct? |
A60953 | Or lastly, can there, in simple Beings, be a Substantia Intelligens, that is, not also Incorporea? |
A60953 | Or that, Whether you put the Question concerning the one, or concerning the other, it is one and the same Question still? |
A60953 | Or what Term of it does he distinguish? |
A60953 | Or what can be the Essential Parts, if the Body and Soul are not so? |
A60953 | Or will he say that those Acts pass mutually between them by an External Impression upon each other? |
A60953 | Or, did he at all reflect upon his Advers ● ry, for being of that University, which he equally honours with the other? |
A60953 | Pray what hurt have these seemingly innocent words done? |
A60953 | Secondly, Whether the Humane Nature assumed by him were a Compleat or Incompleat Being? |
A60953 | See his Vindication, p. 66. l. 2. and 85. l. last, and where all difficulties are solved, can there remain any Vnexplained? |
A60953 | So that here we have an Explication of Unity in Trinity by Continuity of Sensation, but who shall explain to us this Explication it self? |
A60953 | Suppose then, say I, that Socrates and Xantippe should change Bodies too, What would be the Effect and Consequence of such a Change? |
A60953 | That God and infinite Intelligent Person are Terms convertible and commensurate? |
A60953 | That is to say, Three distinct Absolute Beings, Essences or Substances? |
A60953 | The Body of a Man can not extend further than its just Stature, but does the Body therefore consist in its Stature? |
A60953 | The second Question is, Can the Divine Persons be one before they are in one another? |
A60953 | This is the Argument, and what is the Defender''s, or rather the Dean''s Answer to it? |
A60953 | This is the Summ of the Argument; and what says this Defender to it? |
A60953 | This is the sum of the Argument, and what is this Defender''s Reply to it? |
A60953 | This, I say, is the Design of the Athanasian Creed, and does our Author''s Hypothesis fall in and agree with it? |
A60953 | Three Relations, Three Modes, Three Respects without some Being? |
A60953 | Thus the Animadverter: and where is now the mistake? |
A60953 | To which I answer, what if it does not? |
A60953 | To which he presently replied, What if they do starve, what is that to me? |
A60953 | Well, but if by this man''s own Confession his Words are so unjustifiable, how then does he think to bring himself off? |
A60953 | Well; but how does he prove The mutual Inexistence, or Indwelling of the Divine Persons, to be mutual Consciousness? |
A60953 | Well; but notwithstanding what has been argued against bare Sensation, may not the Unity of a Spirit consist in continuity of Sensation? |
A60953 | What Senceless Paradoxes are these? |
A60953 | What a Substance is? |
A60953 | What gross, thick, abominable Ignorance does this Man in this very one Expression betray? |
A60953 | What has he done, besides Animadverting upon a Publick Nusance, who had affronted and abused the whole World besides? |
A60953 | What is that to him? |
A60953 | What part of it does he deny? |
A60953 | What will this man make of him? |
A60953 | Where are the peculiar Graces, and lucky Hits of Fancy, that should recommend the foregoing Expressions to the Learned and Ingenious? |
A60953 | Where is the Wit and Smartness of Thought? |
A60953 | Where, having said, that a Trinity in Vnity is such a Distinction and such an Vnion( and why not Unity?) |
A60953 | Whether he any where affirms the Soul, while united to the Body to be the whole Person? |
A60953 | Whether the Three Divine Persons be Three distinct Minds or Spirits? |
A60953 | Which if it be so, Then, say I, where is the Hypostatical Union of Christ''s Person with the humane Nature? |
A60953 | Will he make him write Cases of Allegiance, and borrow his Arguments out of a Letter from a* Friend? |
A60953 | Will the Animadverter venture to make the Body part of the Personality of a Man? |
A60953 | Would they have the whole World lye down as often as this Man writes a Book? |
A60953 | Ye have taken away my Gods which I made, and what have I more? |
A60953 | and affirm, That for several Beings or Essences to be distinguished by the whole of what they are, is no more than barely to be distinguished? |
A60953 | and all Mankind suffer themselves to be aspersed as long as his Everlasting Diabetical Quill shall be disposed to Drop Pamphlets? |
A60953 | and before they know themselves to be one, and that even in the order of conceiving it? |
A60953 | and do not these Acts of Knowledge and Love both mutually proceed from them, and mutually terminate in them too? |
A60953 | and if so, Whether it be possible for the Mind of Man to form a Conception of one thing depending upon another but seoundùm Prius& Posterius? |
A60953 | and if they do 〈 ◊ 〉 whether they can or ought to speak of them in the same manner or no? |
A60953 | and must this pass for a meer Resemblance too? |
A60953 | and mutual Consciousness be the formal Cause or Reason of the Essential Unity and Identity of the Divine Persons in one and the same Nature? |
A60953 | and not Whether this Mutual Consciousness proves, infers, or declares them to be thus One? |
A60953 | and what is to confute an Assertion, or Position, and what is not? |
A60953 | and will this Ignoramus say, That Things thus distinguished are distinguished by the whole of what they are? |
A60953 | and withal deny the Form or Nature of any Thing to consist in the Property of it, as well as the Animadverter? |
A60953 | and withall, to prove and make good that signification yet further, by its derivation from another and more remote word? |
A60953 | and, Whether difference in Number prove a diversity of Nature too? |
A60953 | but One new heart amongst so many thousand Men? |
A60953 | by first setting his College all in a Flame, and then pretending to show us the Trinity by the Light of it? |
A60953 | or be either the Principium or Subjectum Quod of any Thought? |
A60953 | or can Substantia Cogitans be any other than Substantia Intelligens? |
A60953 | or can it be properly applied to God, if it does not? |
A60953 | or can there be any distinction in the conception, where there is not a proportionable Distinguishableness in the Object? |
A60953 | or does Res signify any Thing properly but either a Substance or an Accident? |
A60953 | or rather does not the whole Discourse seem wrote in the S ● raphick way and style of Iacob Behmen or George Fox? |
A60953 | or that he affirms this convertible Existence to be that which makes this formal Reason? |
A60953 | tells the Israelites, that God would give them[ a new heart]; would this wise Man, of the forenamed Society, cry out here, What? |
A60953 | the Divine Persons be one before they are mutually conscious, even in the order of conceiving it? |
A60953 | the Form of the Self- Conscious Being, which is the Rational Soul? |
A60953 | whither are we running? |
A48890 | ( Same, what I beseech your Lordship?) |
A48890 | ( and consequently Immortality) from its Operations? |
A48890 | And I crave leave to ask your Lordship, what Sense of them can your Lordship upon your Principles come to, but in the way of Notions? |
A48890 | And are we sent back again, from our Ideas to our Senses? |
A48890 | And do you, my Lord, see that with Maxims, you can convince them of that or any thing else? |
A48890 | And in the way of Ideas too? |
A48890 | And is not that Nature really in those who have the same essential Properties? |
A48890 | And is not the Nature really in those who have the essential Properties? |
A48890 | And is this a self- evident Idea of Light? |
A48890 | And is this the difference between your way of Certainty by Reason, and my way of Certainty by Ideas? |
A48890 | And pray, my Lord, do you in your way by Reason do so? |
A48890 | And pray, my Lord, does your Lordship do otherwise? |
A48890 | And then ask* Is not this the giving up the cause of Certainty? |
A48890 | And therefore I beg leave to ask your Lordship, Did you join me in Company with those, in whose Company you here say, I do not desire to be seen? |
A48890 | And what a fine pass are we come to, in your Lordship''s way, if a meer Arbitrary Idea must be taken into the only true Method of Certainty? |
A48890 | And what answer do I give to this? |
A48890 | And what is it which should keep them together, when Life is gone? |
A48890 | And what is that but to attain Certainty in such things where we could not otherwise do it? |
A48890 | And what must a Man do, who is to answer all such Objections about the use of Particles? |
A48890 | And what then would I think of one who should go about to invalidate this Argument? |
A48890 | And why should not this content your Lordship in reference to others as well as it does in reference to your self? |
A48890 | And with what Body do they come? |
A48890 | And would not you think you had reason to do so? |
A48890 | Answer to I know not what; to no meaning, i. e. to nothing? |
A48890 | As to Self- consciousness, your Lordship asks, † What is there like Self- consciousness in Matter? |
A48890 | As to the first of these, your Lordship would prove, that the Author of Christianity not Mysterious built upon my Ground, and how do you prove it? |
A48890 | But can not he who places Certainty in the perception of the agreement and disagreement of Ideas, supposes there is a God? |
A48890 | But farther, my Lord, what I beseech you has a self- evident Idea of Light to do here? |
A48890 | But how is it possible Sosia, that thou the real same, as thou sayst, should''st be at home, and here too? |
A48890 | But is it not fit I should first understand it, before I Answer it? |
A48890 | But now in your way of Reason, pray, wherein does the Certainty of this Proposition consist? |
A48890 | But now, what if my grounds of Certainty can give us no assurance as to these Things? |
A48890 | But pray, my Lord, why so far about? |
A48890 | But some Man will say, How are the dead raised up, and with what Body do they come? |
A48890 | But some Man will say, How are the dead raised up? |
A48890 | But supposing they never thought of it, must we put out our Eyes, and not see whatever they overlooked? |
A48890 | But these Words there, are not given as Answer to this Question, Why do I continue so unsatisfied? |
A48890 | But thus stand the immediate following words wherein you Lordship asks me,* But for what cause do I continue so unsatisfied? |
A48890 | But to keep something like an Argument going( for what will not that do?) |
A48890 | But to return to your Accusation here, which altogether stands thus:* Why in a Chapter of Reason are the other two Senses neglected? |
A48890 | But to your asking me, † Whether I can think your Lordship a Man of that little Sense? |
A48890 | But what is that particular Subsistence? |
A48890 | But which may do they carry it? |
A48890 | But your Lordship also adds, By the help of any intervening Ideas? |
A48890 | But, says your Lordship, Can Certainty be had with imperfect and obscure Ideas, and yet no Certainty be had by them? |
A48890 | But, when it is supposed, will that make good the above- mentioned Consequence? |
A48890 | Can I think your Lordship a Man of so little Sense to make that the reason of it? |
A48890 | Can it be thought now, that you forget this Promise, before you get half through your Examen? |
A48890 | Can not one that places Certainty in the perception of the agreement or disagreement of Ideas, be certain there is a God? |
A48890 | Can such a material Substance which was never united to the Body, be said to be sown in Corruption, and Weakness, and Dishonour? |
A48890 | Can these Words be understood of any other material Substance, but that Body in which these things were done? |
A48890 | Can you believe that to be true, which you are certain is not true? |
A48890 | Can you, my Lord, assent to this as a Matter of Faith, when you are already certain of the contrary by your way? |
A48890 | Canst thou teach me the Trick? |
A48890 | Catch at what I do not see? |
A48890 | Countryman, Where? |
A48890 | Demonstrations on both sides? |
A48890 | Do sensible Qualities carry a Corporeal Substance along with them? |
A48890 | Does God promise any thing to Mankind to be believed? |
A48890 | Does he any where say so? |
A48890 | Does your Lordship ascribe any greater Certainty than this to an Article of meer Faith? |
A48890 | Does your Lordship mean by it the Grain that is sown? |
A48890 | Farther, my Lord, give me leave to ask, what have we here to do with the ways of convincing others of what they do not know, or assent to? |
A48890 | For example, A Sinner has acted here in his Body an hundred Years; he is raised at the last day, but with what Body? |
A48890 | For who can doubt that the Knowledge or being Certain, that any two Things agree, consists in the Perception of their Agreement? |
A48890 | For would it not be pretty harsh to an English Ear, to say with Aristotle,* That Nature is a corporeal Substance, or a corporeal Substance is Nature? |
A48890 | For you ask me here, Is this all I intend, only to complain of them for making me a Party in the Controversie against the Trinity? |
A48890 | For you ask,* But suppose I have Ideas sufficient for Certainty, what is to be done then? |
A48890 | For your Lordship says, Can a different Substance be said to be in their Graves and come out of them? |
A48890 | From whence comes compleat Substance, or peculiar manner of Subsistence to make up the Idea of a Person? |
A48890 | Give me leave, I beseech you, to ask, are not those distinct real Natures, that are the Subjects of distinct essential Properties? |
A48890 | God has created a Substance; let it be, for Example, a solid extended Substance; is God bound to give it, besides Being, a Power of Action? |
A48890 | Has common use of our Language appropriated it to this Sense? |
A48890 | Has your Lordship any other or better Criterion to distinguish Certainty from Uncertainty? |
A48890 | Have these simple Ideas the Notion of a Substance in them? |
A48890 | Hereupon your Lordship tells me,* The Question now is, what this distinction is founded upon? |
A48890 | How are the dead Bodies raised, and with what Bodies do the dead Bodies come? |
A48890 | How can this be? |
A48890 | How does it appear that he thought so? |
A48890 | How does it appear, that he rejected them upon my Grounds? |
A48890 | How is it possible for a Man''s Mind to know, whether Ideas agree or disagree, if there be some parts of those Ideas obscure and confused? |
A48890 | How is this possible? |
A48890 | How so? |
A48890 | How then can we arrive to any Certainty in perceiving those Objects by their Ideas? |
A48890 | I answer, Can such a material Substance which was never laid in the Grave, be said to be sown,& c? |
A48890 | I beg leave to Answer in the same way by a Question, and whoever said or thought, that it was, or meant that it should be? |
A48890 | I crave leave to ask again; And does your Lordship? |
A48890 | I must ask you here again, what you mean by it? |
A48890 | I will only crave leave to ask, how you know that these are Maxims? |
A48890 | I would crave leave to ask your Lordship, were there ever in the World any Atheist or no? |
A48890 | If there were not, what need is there of raising a Question about the being of a God, when no Body Questions it? |
A48890 | If this should be so, what is this I beseech your Lordship to your shewing that I have no Criterion? |
A48890 | If you did join me with them, what is become of all the Satisfaction in the Point, which your Lordship has been at so much Pains about? |
A48890 | In the mean time, in answer to your other Question,* But is this fair and ingenuous dealing? |
A48890 | In the next place, give me leave to ask, where it is that I confess, That some Ideas are not self- evident? |
A48890 | In what Matter, I beseech your Lordship, if it be whether my Idea of Solidity be a true Idea, which is the Matter here in Question? |
A48890 | Is not this a rare way of Certainty? |
A48890 | Is not this a rare way of Certainty? |
A48890 | It seems its only, because we can not conceive it otherwise: What is this Conceiving? |
A48890 | Let it be so; what does your Lordship infer? |
A48890 | Let us grant your Lordship''s consequence to be good, what will follow from it? |
A48890 | Must I play at blind Man''s- buff? |
A48890 | Must I take them as a meer Complement, which is never to be interpreted rigorously, according to the precise meaning of the Words? |
A48890 | Must it consist of all the Particles of Matter, that have ever been vitally united to his Soul? |
A48890 | Nay, where it is, that I once mention any such thing as a self- evident Idea? |
A48890 | No, but they carry it with them: How so? |
A48890 | Now I crave leave to ask your Lordship, which of these Two is that little invisible seminal Plant, which your Lordship here speaks of? |
A48890 | Of what, I beseech your Lordship, did he assign my Grounds and in my Words? |
A48890 | Or can any one who admits of divine Revelation in the Case, doubt of one of them more than the other? |
A48890 | Or is a mis- citing my Words, and misrepresenting my Sense no Wrong? |
A48890 | Or must I presume to know your meaning when I do not? |
A48890 | Out of what Question, I beseech you, my Lord? |
A48890 | Prove what, I beseech you my Lord? |
A48890 | So that your Question,* Why in a Chapter of Reason are the other two Senses of the word Neglected? |
A48890 | Solidity likewise can not Exist without Space; but will any one from thence say, the Idea of Solidity and the Idea of Space are one and the same? |
A48890 | Sosia, But did he tell thee what became of the real common Nature of an Horse, that was in it, when the Fole died? |
A48890 | Suppose it be, That there are two Natures in one Person, the Question is, Whether you can assent to this as a Matter of Faith? |
A48890 | That Certainty was to be attained by comparing Ideas, was a Supposition of mine? |
A48890 | That I say, That if by an unintelligible new way of Construction, the word Them be applied to any Passages in my Book: What then? |
A48890 | That at the last Day, the dead shall be raised, without determining whether it shall be with the very same Bodies or no? |
A48890 | That this is so, I dare appeal to any Reader, should your Lordship press me again, as you do here, with all the force of these Words,* Say you so? |
A48890 | The Law of Disputing, whence had it it s so mighty a Sanction? |
A48890 | The Question is not, whether we can have Certainty by Ideas that are not clear and distinct? |
A48890 | The same says your Lordship, That he acted in, because St. Paul says he must receive the things done in his Body? |
A48890 | Thou tellst me Wonders of this same Subsistence, what I pray thee is it? |
A48890 | To prove something, you say, Suppose an Idea happen to be thought by some to be clear and distinct, and others should think the contrary to be so? |
A48890 | To shew that I have no such Criterion, your Lordship asks me two Questions, the first* is, How my Idea of Solidity comes to be clear and distinct? |
A48890 | What can we understand by this, but your Lordship''s great Complaisance and Moderation? |
A48890 | What does all this tend to? |
A48890 | What does my Idea of personal Identity do? |
A48890 | What does your Lordship infer from hence? |
A48890 | What else can it possibly consist in? |
A48890 | What great interest has any Truth of Religion in this, That I and another Man( be he who he will) make use of the same Grounds to different purposes? |
A48890 | What is the conclusion from hence? |
A48890 | What must I do now, my Lord? |
A48890 | What must I do now, to keep my Word and satisfie your Lordship? |
A48890 | What must I think now, my Lord, of these Words? |
A48890 | What the Soul was, to see whether from thence he could discover its Immortality? |
A48890 | What therefore must his Body at the Resurrection consist of? |
A48890 | What use does your Lordship make of this? |
A48890 | What, my Lord, is the difference here between your Lordship''s and my way in the Case? |
A48890 | When others treat me after the manner you have done, why should it not be enough to answer them after the same manner I have done your Lordship? |
A48890 | Where may it be Bought then? |
A48890 | Whereupon your Lordship bids me consider, whether this doth not a little affect the whole Article of the Resurrection? |
A48890 | Whether it be true or false, I am not now to enquire; but how it comes into this Idea of a Person? |
A48890 | Whether that Certainty be built upon the Agreement of Ideas, such as we have, or on whatever else your Lordship builds it? |
A48890 | Who can believe, that upon so slight an account, your Lordship should neglect your Design of writing against me? |
A48890 | Why are we sent to the antient Romans? |
A48890 | Why else is it objected to me, That I do not, if your Lordship does not place Certainty in Syllogism? |
A48890 | Why so? |
A48890 | Why therefore your Lordship asks me, and is the Certainty[ of the Souls being immaterial] dwindled into a Probability at last? |
A48890 | You add, What is the meaning of carrying with them a Supposition of a Substratum and a Substance? |
A48890 | You ask indeed,* whether I can imagine, That we have intuition into the Idea of Matter? |
A48890 | You ask,* How can my Idea of Liberty agree with the Idea that Bodies can operate only by Motion and Impulse? |
A48890 | You say* I allow assurance of Faith, God forbid I should do otherwise; but then you ask, Why not Certainty as well as Assurance? |
A48890 | Your Lordship asks in the next Paragraph,* How comes the Certainty of Faith so hard a Point with me? |
A48890 | Your Lordship asks,* Is not that a real Nature, that is the Subject of real Properties? |
A48890 | Your Lordship asks,* were they[ who saw our Saviour after his Resurrection] witnesses only of some material Substance then united to his Soul? |
A48890 | Your Lordship farther asks, † How can I clearly perceive the agreement or disagreement of Ideas, if I have not clear and distinct Ideas? |
A48890 | Your Lordship farther asks, † Is not that a real Nature, which is the Subject of real Properties? |
A48890 | Your Lordship in your Letter to me, does not say that we are to believe all that we find expressed in Scripture? |
A48890 | Your Lordship presses on with this farther Question,* What do these Ideas signify then? |
A48890 | Your Lordship says* the Academicks went upon Ideas, or Representations of things to their Minds; and pray, my Lord, does not your Lordship do so too? |
A48890 | Your Lordship says, † Have not all Mankind who have talked of matters of Faith allowed a Certainty of Faith, as well as a Certainty of Knowledge? |
A48890 | Your Lordship''s next Word is But, to which I am ready to reply, But what? |
A48890 | hath not this been made use of, as an Argument, not only by Christians, but by the wisest and greatest Men among the Heathens? |
A48890 | i. e. before you have formed the Ideas in your Mind, as well as you can, which those Words stand for? |
A48890 | i. e. if a Man be sent to his Senses for the Idea of Solidity? |
A48890 | if you do not? |
A48890 | is the same thing, as for you to ask, How comes the knowledge of Faith, or if you please, the knowledge of Believing to be so hard a Point with me? |
A48890 | only to Complain of them for making me a Party in the Controversie against the Trinity? |
A48890 | quum lingua Catonis& Enni Sermonem patrium ditaverit,& nova rerum Nomina protulerit? |
A48890 | than what, my Lord, I beseech you? |
A48890 | what you mean by these four Words? |
A48890 | you go near denying those Cafers to be Men, what else do these Words signifie? |
A48890 | — Ego cur acquirere pauca Si possum invideor? |
A48890 | † Are we not now in the true way to Certainty? |
A48890 | † But did you not offer to put us into a way of Certainty? |
A61548 | Am I bound to believe it or not? |
A61548 | And are not all the main Articles of the Christian Faith comprehended under it? |
A61548 | And doth not all this discover no good will to the Scriptures, at least, as they are received among us? |
A61548 | And from whence comes it? |
A61548 | And from whence comes such a Denomination? |
A61548 | And how can those who hold three Persons be Sabellians? |
A61548 | And how can three Persons be one Person, unless three incommunicable Properties may become one communicated Property to three Persons? |
A61548 | And how can we but divide the Substance, which we find in three distinct divided Persons? |
A61548 | And if there are three Persons which have the Divine Nature attributed to them; what must we do in this Case? |
A61548 | And is not this an admirable Way to bring us to a certainty of Reason? |
A61548 | And is not this great skill in these Matters, to make such a Parallel between three Persons in the Godhead, and Peter, Iames and Iohn? |
A61548 | And is not this very good Authority among us? |
A61548 | And is this all indeed, that is to be said for the being of Substance, that we accustom our selves to suppose a Substratum? |
A61548 | And is this indeed the great Secret which this bold Man, as they call him, hath discover''d? |
A61548 | And now let the World judge, how wisely they have interpreted both S. Iohn, and his Commentator Grotius? |
A61548 | And now what Reason can there be, that any such late Copies should be prefer''d before those which were used by the Greek Fathers? |
A61548 | And now what do these Men do? |
A61548 | And so Heaven and Earth are called to bear Witness against obstinate Sinners: May men therefore be baptized in the name of God and his Creatures? |
A61548 | And that he is the Word, and God of God, from Theophilus Antiochenus? |
A61548 | And to make his Apostles set up the Worship of a Creature, when their design was to take away the Worship of all such, who by Nature are not Gods? |
A61548 | And to what purpose then are they brought? |
A61548 | And upon his bringing Erasmus to prove that it was not in S. Cyprian, S. Hilary, and S. Chrysostome, he cries out, Where is Sincerity? |
A61548 | And what Answer do they give to this? |
A61548 | And what Answer doth S. Ambrose give to this? |
A61548 | And what answer do they give to this? |
A61548 | And what certainty can we have that he hath not done it? |
A61548 | And what defence have they since made for themselves? |
A61548 | And what follows from hence, but that the relative Property is the Foundation of the Personality? |
A61548 | And what follows? |
A61548 | And what follows? |
A61548 | And what greater argument can there be, that it was then the general sense of the Christian Church? |
A61548 | And what is this, but to own two distinct Substances? |
A61548 | And what must they think of our Saviour the mean time, who knew the Iews understood him quite otherwise, and would not undeceive them? |
A61548 | And what saith he to this purpose? |
A61548 | And what say our Vnitarians to it? |
A61548 | And what say our Vnitarians to this? |
A61548 | And what say our Vnitarians to this? |
A61548 | And what then? |
A61548 | And what then? |
A61548 | And what then? |
A61548 | And what then? |
A61548 | And wherein is this different, from what all men of Understanding have said? |
A61548 | And who are these Dominions and Powers? |
A61548 | Are not then( without Trifling and Fooling) these Real Essences Mysteries to them? |
A61548 | Are not these very good Christians the mean while? |
A61548 | Are not three Substances and but one a Contradiction? |
A61548 | Are they not three Gods? |
A61548 | Are they resolved to set up Deism among us, and in order thereto, to undermine the authority of the New Testament? |
A61548 | As of divine Authority? |
A61548 | As though he allow''d more Gods than one in Number? |
A61548 | As to the Essence? |
A61548 | But Eusebius doth not use Hegesippus his words, but his own in that place; and withal, how doth it appear that Hegesippus himself was an Ebionite? |
A61548 | But after all, why do we assert three Persons in the Godhead? |
A61548 | But by no means, that the Person of the Father is nothing but the relative Property? |
A61548 | But can any thing of this Nature be charged upon one, who hath not only written in Defence of it, but speaks of it with the highest Veneration? |
A61548 | But can one whole entire indivisible Substance be actually divided into three Substances? |
A61548 | But can these Men of Sense and Reason think, that the Point in Controversie ever was, whether in Numbers, One could be Three, or Three One? |
A61548 | But can you have a full and evident Perception of a thing, so as to difference it from all others, when you grant it to be Incomprehensible? |
A61548 | But comes it from a good hand? |
A61548 | But did they mean three distinct Subsistences, or only one Subsistence sustaining the Names, or Appearances, or Manifestations of three Persons? |
A61548 | But do these assert, that there is but one subsisting Person, and three only in Name? |
A61548 | But doth any one imagine, that because Iohn Baptist did enter his Disciples by Baptism, therefore they must believe him to be God? |
A61548 | But doth he not say, That he hath a Legitimate and proper Substance of his own begotten Nature from God, the Father? |
A61548 | But doth it follow that they are guilty of Heresie? |
A61548 | But he will Demonstrate something instead of it? |
A61548 | But how I pray doth this appear? |
A61548 | But how came the Preface to be curtail''d in the Ebionite Gospel? |
A61548 | But how can I comprehend this Attribute of Eternity? |
A61548 | But how can we but divide the Substance which we see in three distinct divided Persons? |
A61548 | But how comes Christ to assume that to himself which belong''d to the Word? |
A61548 | But how comes he to take no notice of this Difference of the Clermont Copy? |
A61548 | But how comes the general Idea of Substance, to be framed in our Minds? |
A61548 | But how do our simple Ideas help us out in this Matter? |
A61548 | But how do they make out this gross Stupidity of theirs? |
A61548 | But how doth he apply these things to the divine Nature? |
A61548 | But how doth he make this out? |
A61548 | But how doth it appear that we have any Power to comprehend what is infinite? |
A61548 | But how doth it appear, that Beza''s Clermont Copy was the very same which Morinus had? |
A61548 | But how doth it appear, that he brought in any new Doctrine? |
A61548 | But how doth it appear, that the Word Mystery is always used in that Sense? |
A61548 | But how doth that appear? |
A61548 | But how doth the other Antagonist escape? |
A61548 | But how far? |
A61548 | But how if any one Person were left out? |
A61548 | But how is it possible to understand this? |
A61548 | But how is this clear''d by the other Party? |
A61548 | But how then can there be but one individual Essence in all three? |
A61548 | But how then comes it not to make a distinct Essence, as it makes distinct Persons, by being communicated? |
A61548 | But how then? |
A61548 | But how? |
A61548 | But how? |
A61548 | But how? |
A61548 | But if he had so meant it, how could he have expressed it otherwise? |
A61548 | But if he was for ever, he must be from himself, and what Notion, or Conception can we have in our Minds concerning it? |
A61548 | But if that be not taken as an Evidence of his being the eternal Son of God, how doth this prove him above Angels? |
A61548 | But if the Christian Interpreters were such Fools; what think they of the Deists, whom they seem to have a better opinion of, as to their Wisdom? |
A61548 | But may not Christians have such doubts in their minds? |
A61548 | But may not each Person have a distinct Essence belonging to him, as we see it is among Men? |
A61548 | But may not the fame Essence be divided? |
A61548 | But saith S. Augustin, The Caviller will ask, if there be Three, what Three are they? |
A61548 | But saith he, Will it not hence follow, that as these are two Men, so the Father and Son in the Divine Essence must be two Gods? |
A61548 | But the Question is whether the Fathers used it in that sense, so as to imply a difference of Individuals in the same common Essence? |
A61548 | But they leave out what he saith, and put in what he doth not say; is not this interpreting like Wise men? |
A61548 | But this is said to be a Contradiction; so it was in the other case and not allow''d then and why should it be otherwise in this? |
A61548 | But this worthy Author produces other Reasons, which Sandius himself laughs at, and despises? |
A61548 | But to what purpose? |
A61548 | But were not the Iews to understand it in the Sense it was known among them? |
A61548 | But what Bias was it, which made him write with that Strength and Iudgment against their Opinions? |
A61548 | But what Reason doth he give for it? |
A61548 | But what are these very strong and weighty Reasons? |
A61548 | But what consequence do they draw from hence? |
A61548 | But what do they say to the Old Paraphrases, whereon the main Weight as to this matter lies? |
A61548 | But what is it which makes the Vnion indissoluble? |
A61548 | But what is it? |
A61548 | But what is this Distinction founded upon? |
A61548 | But what is this to the first Christians of the Church of Ierusalem? |
A61548 | But what is to know? |
A61548 | But what reason do they give for it? |
A61548 | But what reason do they give for such a forced and unusual Sense, besides the avoiding the difficulty of having the Name of God given here to Christ? |
A61548 | But what saith Grotius himself? |
A61548 | But what saith S. Augustin to this? |
A61548 | But what say our Wise Interpreters to this? |
A61548 | But what then do they think of these passages in his Conferences with the Iews? |
A61548 | But when you have reckon''d them what is it you have been Counting? |
A61548 | But whence or how? |
A61548 | But where doth Grotius say any thing like this? |
A61548 | But where doth S. Augustin give any such Account of it? |
A61548 | But where else are these honest, conscientious Deists to be found? |
A61548 | But where is this said? |
A61548 | But wherein is it that Eusebius blames them? |
A61548 | But wherein lies it? |
A61548 | But wherein lies this Impossibility? |
A61548 | But wherein then lies the difference in point of Reason? |
A61548 | But who is to set these Bounds but themselves in all Acts of relative Worship, because they depend upon the intention of the Persons? |
A61548 | But who made them subject to him? |
A61548 | But who was this Arian Bishop, and these Campenses? |
A61548 | But why do we call them Persons, when that Term is not found in Scripture, and is of a doubtful Sense? |
A61548 | But why must they confound the Persons, if there be but one Essence? |
A61548 | But will not this overthrow the distinction of Persons and run us into Sabellianism? |
A61548 | But, if our Reason depend upon our clear and distinct Idea''s; how is this possible? |
A61548 | By dividing the Substance? |
A61548 | Can the communicating the divine Essence by the Father to the Son, be called a Name, or a Mode, or a Respect only? |
A61548 | Can we be certain without any Foundation of Reason? |
A61548 | Can we learn from them, the difference of Nature and Person? |
A61548 | Can we suppose them Guilty of such stupidity to lose their Lives, for not giving Divine Honour to Creatures, and at the same time to do it themselves? |
A61548 | Did God make the Earth and all the living Creatures in it, when he made Man Lord over them? |
A61548 | Did ever N ● etus or Sabellius, or any of their Followers speak after this manner? |
A61548 | Did he die to reform them, as well as Mankind? |
A61548 | Did they all interpret the Scriptures like Fools, and not like Wise Men? |
A61548 | Did they mean no more, but as any Good man is? |
A61548 | Do not you comprehend that it is incomprehensible? |
A61548 | Do the others who maintain a Trinity deny this? |
A61548 | Do they hope ever to convince Men at this rate of wise interpreting? |
A61548 | Do they suppose the divine Nature capable of such Division and Separation by Individuals, as human Nature is? |
A61548 | Do they think there is no difference between an infinitely perfect Being, and such finite limited Creatures as Individuals among Men are? |
A61548 | Doth Marcion hold this Trinity? |
A61548 | Doth Origen say all the Iewish Christians there were such? |
A61548 | Doth he not say, the Arian Bishop, and the Campenses put him upon it? |
A61548 | Doth he own such a Community of Nature, and Distinction of Individuals there? |
A61548 | Doth he say they borrowed the Form of Baptism from thence? |
A61548 | Doth it therefore follow, that there are no Doctrines in the Gospel above the reach and comprehension of our Reason? |
A61548 | Doth not S. Ambrose say, as Curcellaeus quotes him, That the Father and Son are not two Gods, because all men are said to be of one Substance? |
A61548 | Doth not by whom all things were created in Heaven and Earth imply, that Heaven and Earth were created by him? |
A61548 | Doth not this look like a design to furnish the Deists with such arguments as they could meet with against it? |
A61548 | Doth this prove such a difference, as is among Individuals of the same kind among men? |
A61548 | Doth this reach the Nature of the thing, or only the manner of our Conception? |
A61548 | Ecce inquit tres dixisti, sed quid tres exprime? |
A61548 | Especially, when they say, That S. Iohn doth not oppose them Why then are these Arguments produced against his Gospel? |
A61548 | Filium quem dicitis, Deum dicitis? |
A61548 | For I appeal to the common Sense of mankind, whether we can be said to Comprehend that, which we can have no adequate Idea of? |
A61548 | For according to this Sense, how comes a divine Attribute to be called the Son of Man? |
A61548 | For the question upon the Creed is, Whether the Substance can be divided? |
A61548 | For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? |
A61548 | For what is it makes the second Sun to be a true Sun, but having the same Real Essence with the first? |
A61548 | For what is the old or first Creation, but the making the World, and creating all things in Heaven and Earth? |
A61548 | For what reason? |
A61548 | For, if he could have no Cause, what could we think of his being Eternal? |
A61548 | For, they say, That he held, that as to this question, How many Gods? |
A61548 | From what evidence? |
A61548 | Grant he was so, yet how doth it appear that all the Iewish Christians were at that time Ebionites or Cerinthians? |
A61548 | Had all men lost their Senses in Theodoret''s time? |
A61548 | Had he no more skill in Arithmetick than to say there are Three and yet but One? |
A61548 | Have the Brutes and Trinitarians learnt Arithmetick together? |
A61548 | Have they any new Books of Scripture to judge by? |
A61548 | Have we not now a very comfortable account of the Canon of the New Testament from these ancient Vnitarians? |
A61548 | He answers, Why not, since we call Body and Soul by the Name of the Man? |
A61548 | He granted that they were one Essence, one Nature, one Substance: but how? |
A61548 | He grants to Praxeas, that Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one, but how? |
A61548 | He pretends to Demonstrate; but what I pray? |
A61548 | How are the Angels created by him and for him? |
A61548 | How can that be said to be the Son of God begotten of the Father, without Division, before all Worlds, as he quotes it from Iustin Martyr? |
A61548 | How can that be? |
A61548 | How can the Substance be distinct, if it be the very same; and the Son subsist in that Substance of which he was begotten? |
A61548 | How can these things consist? |
A61548 | How can this be consistent with deducing our Certainty of Knowledge from clear and simple Ideas? |
A61548 | How can this distinction be? |
A61548 | How come the Mysteries of Faith to require more Knowledge than the Nature of Man is capable of? |
A61548 | How could the Son of Man be said to ascend thither, where a divine Attribute was before? |
A61548 | How could this be, if all the Christians were out of his reach, then being setled about Pella? |
A61548 | How doth that appear? |
A61548 | How doth that appear? |
A61548 | How doth this appear to be very probable? |
A61548 | How is it possible for Three to be but One? |
A61548 | How is this possible, if a Person doth suppose some peculiar Property, which must distinguish him from all others? |
A61548 | How so? |
A61548 | How so? |
A61548 | How then can our Vnitarians pretend, That the Ante- Nicene Fathers did not alledge the Form of Baptism to prove the Trinity? |
A61548 | How then can we know, that of which we can have no adequate Idea? |
A61548 | How then is it possible to understand S. Basil of more Gods than one in number? |
A61548 | I allow he Reason to be very good, but the Question I ask is, whether this Argument be from the clear and distinct Idea or not? |
A61548 | I desire to know, Whether the Adoration of such were Idolatry or not? |
A61548 | If it be said to be the same Specifick Nature; then how comes that which is in it self capable of Division to make an indissoluble Vnion? |
A61548 | If it be, is it the same individual Essence, or not? |
A61548 | If it extends to all the other things, doth it exclude this, which is the first mention''d? |
A61548 | If it were necessary to be believed, why is it not more plainly revealed? |
A61548 | If only some parts of Matter have a power of Thinking, how comes so great a difference in the Properties of the same Matter? |
A61548 | If the same individual Essence makes the inseparable Union, what is it, which makes the difference of individuals? |
A61548 | If their arguments are mean and trifling and merely precarious, why are they not slighted and answered by such as pretend to be Christians? |
A61548 | If they are false, why do they not answer them? |
A61548 | If they are true, why do they not affirm them? |
A61548 | If they do understand them, why do they say, They do not, nor can not? |
A61548 | In the former Testimony, the authority of the Vulgar Latin was made use of: and why, is it rejected here? |
A61548 | Interrogant enim nos aliquando Infideles,& dicunt, Patrem quem dicitis, Deum dicitis? |
A61548 | Into the Father? |
A61548 | Into the Holy Ghost? |
A61548 | Into the Son? |
A61548 | Is it like wise Men, to go upon such grounds as will justifie both Pagan and Popish Idolatry? |
A61548 | Is it not rather exposing and ridiculing them? |
A61548 | Is it not to have adequate Ideas of the things we know? |
A61548 | Is it possible for Men that live in our Age to give such an account as this of the Growth of Deism and Atheism among us? |
A61548 | Is it the Vnity of the Essence or not? |
A61548 | Is it the attributing a general Name to them? |
A61548 | Is not the like Equity to be shew ● d in another though different Explication? |
A61548 | Is not this Subtle and deep Reasoning? |
A61548 | Is not this a fine turn? |
A61548 | Is not this a rare Specimen of Wise interpreting, and Fair dealing with so considerable a Person, and so well known, as Grotius? |
A61548 | Is not this a rare way of fixing the Boundaries of Faith and Reason? |
A61548 | Is not this a very strong and weighty Reason? |
A61548 | Is not this doing great Honour to our Saviour? |
A61548 | Is not this fair dealing with such a Man as S. Basil, to represent his Sense quite otherwise than it is? |
A61548 | Is not this interpreting like wise Men indeed? |
A61548 | Is that Custom grounded upon true Reason or not? |
A61548 | Is the divine Essence but a mere Name, or a different respect only to Mankind? |
A61548 | Is this Wise interpreting? |
A61548 | Is this a sufficient reason or not? |
A61548 | Is this by Abstracting and inlarging simple Ideas? |
A61548 | Is this interpreting Scripture like Wise men, to deny Divine Worship to be given to our Saviour when the Scripture so plainly requires it? |
A61548 | Is this interpreting Scripture like wise Men, to take advantage of all Omissions in Copies, when those which are entire ought to be preferr''d? |
A61548 | Is this interpreting the Scriptures like wise Men? |
A61548 | Is this right? |
A61548 | Is this sufficient to charge such a Person with the Sabellian Heresy, which he utterly disowns? |
A61548 | Is this to interpret Scripture like Wise men, to make our Saviour''s meaning to be expressly contrary to his Words? |
A61548 | It is easie to guess whom these kind Words were intended for: And are not these very modest and civil Expressions? |
A61548 | It''s very true; but how doth this prove that there is a God? |
A61548 | Let the Case be now put as to the Trinity; do you believe the Doctrine of it, as of Divine Revelation? |
A61548 | Must not this be a very learned Critick who could mention S. Ierom, as Translator of S. Matthews Gospel into Greek? |
A61548 | Must we cast off the Vnity of the Divine Essence? |
A61548 | Must we quit Christ''s being the Messias, because the Jews deny it? |
A61548 | Must we reject those Scriptures which attribute Divinity to the Son and Holy Ghost, as well as to the Father? |
A61548 | Must we renounce the Christian Doctrine to please the Jews and Mahometans? |
A61548 | No, Are they not three Almighties? |
A61548 | No, they may say, but ye who hold three Persons must think so: For what reason? |
A61548 | Non tres omnipotentes? |
A61548 | Now if Christ were taken up into Heaven, as Moses was into the Mount, why was it not made publick at that time? |
A61548 | Now if both Parties mean what they say, where lies the difference? |
A61548 | Now what Prolation can there be of a meer Attribute? |
A61548 | Now what was this Doctrine of Noetus? |
A61548 | Now what was this unheard of Doctrine of Noetus? |
A61548 | Now wherein doth this differ from the present Hypothesis? |
A61548 | Now, what is the Subject in this case? |
A61548 | Now, what saith the Vnitarian to this, who pretended to Answer me? |
A61548 | Number, saith he again, belongs to Quantity, and Quantity to Bodies, but what relation have these to God, but as he is the Maker of them? |
A61548 | Nunc mihi Calumniator respondeat, quid ergo tres? |
A61548 | Of mere Names or Cyphers, or of one God and two Creatures joyned in the same Form of words, as our Vnitarians understand it? |
A61548 | Of mere Names or Energies? |
A61548 | Of what? |
A61548 | One God the Father, and one God the Son; how can this be, and yet not two Gods? |
A61548 | Or Paulus Alciatus, who from a Unitarian turned Mahometan? |
A61548 | Or as other Hereticks, three Principles or three Gods? |
A61548 | Or doth our Reason give us true Notions of things, without these Idea''s? |
A61548 | Or rather was Man said to create them, because he was made their Head? |
A61548 | Or the suffering of Christ, because the Mahometans think it inconsistent with his Honour? |
A61548 | Or were they all turned Ebionites then? |
A61548 | Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, are all true and real Men; but what is it which makes them so? |
A61548 | Quare hoc non est ita ibi? |
A61548 | Quid sunt isti tres? |
A61548 | Respondemus Deum Spiritum Sanctum quem dicitis, Deum dicitis? |
A61548 | St. Augustin mentions it as such, when he saith, the Infidels sometimes ask us, what do you call the Father? |
A61548 | That the Father and Son are divided from each other, as they were? |
A61548 | The Israelites were baptized unto Moses; but how? |
A61548 | The Man Christ Iesus? |
A61548 | The Point in hand? |
A61548 | The question is, Whether this be interpreting those Scriptures which speak of the Honour and Worship due to Christ, like wise Men? |
A61548 | The question is, whether the distinct Properties of the Persons do imply a Division of the Substance? |
A61548 | Then they were asked, Why they used those terms? |
A61548 | They know there are such by the Ideas of their Properties, but know nothing of their Real Essence; and yet they will not allow them to be Mysteries? |
A61548 | They may tell them, as they do us that they can have no Ideas, no clear and distinct Perceptions of immaterial Substances? |
A61548 | Very true: But can you have a clear and distinct Idea of what you can not comprehend? |
A61548 | Very true; but is all this contained in the simple Idea of these Operations? |
A61548 | Was he not bound to undeceive them, when he knew they did so grossly mis- understand him, if he knew himself to be a meer Man at the same time? |
A61548 | Was it not by force of Arms and the Prevalency of the Saracen and Turkish Empire? |
A61548 | Was not his whole design in that Book to prove three distinct Persons of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and yet but One God? |
A61548 | Was the Morocco Ambassador one of them? |
A61548 | Was this mystical Sense primarily intended or not? |
A61548 | We can not reason without clear Ideas, and yet we may be certain without them: Can we be certain without Reason? |
A61548 | Well, but what is this creating or disposing things into a new order? |
A61548 | Were ever wise Men driven to such miserable Shifts? |
A61548 | Were not those Iewish Christians? |
A61548 | What Christian Ingenuity is here? |
A61548 | What Proof, what Evidence, what credible Witnesses of it, as there were of his Transfiguration, Resurrection and Ascension? |
A61548 | What Trinity do they mean? |
A61548 | What a false and spiteful Inference is this? |
A61548 | What an honest- hearted Deist do they make that Impostor Mahomet? |
A61548 | What another sort of character is this from that of the greatest, and in their opinion the best of our Clergy? |
A61548 | What answer do they give in this case? |
A61548 | What are these Three? |
A61548 | What can be the meaning of this if he did not take it for granted, that the Christian Church embraced the Doctrine of the Trinity in Baptism? |
A61548 | What can satisfie such men, who are content with such an answer? |
A61548 | What can this prove, but that we may call God and his Creatures to be Witnesses together of the same thing? |
A61548 | What could they mean, if they did not believe them to have the same Divine Nature? |
A61548 | What disposition of Matter is required to thinking? |
A61548 | What do these men mean by such suggestions as these? |
A61548 | What do these men mean, to charge one who goes upon these grounds with Sabellianism? |
A61548 | What if S. Paul name the elect Angels in a solemn Obtestation to Timothy, together with God, and the Lord Iesus Christ? |
A61548 | What is now become of the general Consent of the Christian Church, East and West? |
A61548 | What is that bare Essence without the Powers and Properties belonging to it? |
A61548 | What is that? |
A61548 | What is the meaning of this, but that we can not have an adequate Idea of any thing? |
A61548 | What is the meaning of this? |
A61548 | What must these men think the Christian Church hath been made up of all this while? |
A61548 | What number of Atheists is there, upon any other account than from a looseness of Thinking and Living? |
A61548 | What say our Vnitarians to this? |
A61548 | What say our Wise Interpreters to all this? |
A61548 | What should make Beza pass it over here? |
A61548 | What strange way of arguing would this have been? |
A61548 | What that is, whereby we perceive the difference of Individuals? |
A61548 | What that is, which really makes two Beings of the same kind to be different from each other? |
A61548 | What the Holy Ghost? |
A61548 | What the Son? |
A61548 | What then would they say of the rest? |
A61548 | What then? |
A61548 | What would Iulian have given for such a Wise Interpretation of S. Iohn? |
A61548 | What would these wise Interpreters have? |
A61548 | What, and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? |
A61548 | What, if Men without Biass of Interest, or Education think ours the more proper and agreeable Sense? |
A61548 | What, nothing but good Words to him? |
A61548 | What? |
A61548 | When God is said to be an incomprehensible Being; who before them did understand the meaning to be, That we can not comprehend that there is a God? |
A61548 | Where is the least Intimation given, that he look''d on the divine Persons as Modes and Respects only? |
A61548 | Whether a specifick divine Nature be not inconsistent with the absolute Perfection, and necessary Existence which belongs to it? |
A61548 | Whether it was accounted a monstrous Paradox and Contradiction, where Persons were not sway''d by Force and Interest? |
A61548 | Whether their Doctrine about the Trinity or ours, be more agreeable to the sense of Scripture and Antiquity? |
A61548 | Whether there be any ground of common reason, on which it can be justly charged with Nonsense, Impossibilities and Contradiction? |
A61548 | Whether there can be more Individuals, where there is no Dissimilitude, and can be no Division or Separation? |
A61548 | Which arise from the shallowness of Mens Capacities, and not from the repugnancy of Things: and who can help Mens Understandings? |
A61548 | Who are they? |
A61548 | Who are those Historians who give this character of him? |
A61548 | Who denies it? |
A61548 | Who denies, that one Person may have different Respects, and yet be but one Person subsisting? |
A61548 | Why are these strong Reasons of learned Criticks mentioned, but to raise Doubts in Peoples minds about them? |
A61548 | Why are they not named, that their authority might be examin''d? |
A61548 | Why did he not conceal it,( as some would have done) and only represent to the Emperours, the fair and plausible part of Christianity? |
A61548 | Why not the time and place mention''d in Scripture, as well as of his Fasting and Temptation? |
A61548 | Why then should these clear and simple Ideas be made the sole Foundation of Reason? |
A61548 | Will they make this a Contradiction too? |
A61548 | Will they say, the Holy Ghost was there added for the sake of Montanus his Paraclete? |
A61548 | Will you hold to this Principle? |
A61548 | and if these are real Mysteries in Nature, why may not the same term be used for Matters of Faith? |
A61548 | and of the Commentators upon this Creed? |
A61548 | and to what end? |
