A45520And what was thus declared?
A45520And what''s more vain?
A45520And what''s most like Gold, and most contrary to it?
A45520And what''s repentance?
A45520And when began this grand Apostrophe, or diversion of the Gospel- Church from Faith, and obedience?
A45520And wherein are all the imaginations of their hearts thus only evil continually?
A45520And who was then Bishop of Rome?
A45520And why but one?
A45520And why comes this account of them from the Pen of the Prophetick Evangelist?
A45520And why did not the Devil tempt him to something more, or by something else, than these three lusts?
A45520And why is there such need now of the Balm of Gilead?
A45520And( to omit the literal, which are many) what are Spiritual Sorceries?
A45520Because they spake not the thing that was right of God, nor of his servant Job: And why did they not speak the thing that was right?
A45520Belshazzar was laid in the Ballance and found wanting: How wanting?
A45520But Locusts conceive not themselves greatly concern''d in the discharge of any such duty: Quid hoc ad nos?
A45520But what are they or their Armies to these Locusts?
A45520But where must they find this unfound Rock?
A45520But, Secondly, To what must they be turned?
A45520But, Time shall be no more: And how, no more?
A45520Can not the City live in peace for you, nor the Church in quiet?
A45520Come and see: What shall we see?
A45520Consumed their days in vanity,& c. How in vanity?
A45520Corah''s company cryed out against Moses; And what was the cause of their Cry?
A45520Did the Pagan and heretical parts, only, thus fall?
A45520Eli( a true, but too careless servant of God) was laid in the Ballance and found wanting: And how did Elie''s good Works want weight?
A45520Fifthly, What those Harps of God are?
A45520First, Whether the superfluities of Nabals Feast were more due to his Sheep- shearers than to David?
A45520Hath he not spoken also by us?
A45520He destroyed the then almost decayed Unity of the Church, by Schisme: And how may this plainly appear?
A45520Hear now, ye Rebels( said Moses) must we fetch you water out of this Rock?
A45520How came they so quick- sighted to see the Seal of God in their foreheads?
A45520How did he lead on the Van of that revolted body?
A45520How oft shall my Brother sin against me( said Peter to our blessed Saviour) till seven times?
A45520I counsel thee to buy of me gold,& c.] And must men buy the free gifts of God?
A45520Is this your Christian meckness, and submission?
A45520Israel turned back till about the end of 1260 dayes?
A45520Lastly, I will givepower to my two witnesses( Religious Ministers, and Magistrates) and they shall prophesie: And what is prophesie?
A45520Lastly, What their inestimable benefits and safeties shall be by having their hearts turned back again?
A45520Nor, Fifthly, Of their Thefts And what are they?
A45520Of what City?
A45520Peter, lovest thou me( said Christ)?
A45520Quid obest nescire?
A45520Secondly, The indignation of God was kindled against Eliphaz and his two friends: And why against them?
A45520Secondly, To what they shall be turned?
A45520Secondly, We shall enquire; for what they should be thus redeemed?
A45520Smite him on the month, was the high Priests Cry against Paul; what was the cause of it?
A45520Tell me( saith the Apostle) Do ye not hear the Law?
A45520That is, All the wayes and works of her inhabitants, shall be right in practice, conform to Gospel Rule: And wherein consists this conformity?
A45520The Lord, be is the God] And whence was this great acknowledgment of the truth to Gods glory?
A45520They always erred,& c.] Et quid error mentis?
A45520They can run by him and never mind him: Is any thing, that is right in it self, laid before them?
A45520They can run by it, and take no notice of it: What may I say of such men, of such Saints, but this?
A45520They can run by it, or glide over it, and take no notice of it: Is any thing spoken to them?
A45520They can run by it, or run over it( by a cursory reading) and never understand it: Is any man faln amongst Thieves and wounded like the Wayfaring man?
A45520They can run over it by a rash answer before they hear it: Is any work in writing( requisite to refel errours, to reform manners) offered to them?
A45520They( well content, as the Parisees were with their wonted knowledge) will not know these things: what profit cometh( say they) by knowing of them?
A45520Thirdly, What their exceeding great danger is, if their hearts be not turned back?
A45520This is the greatest Apostacy guilded with Hypocrisie: For, If the light of the eye( saith our Saviour) be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A45520This was the mistake of Aaron and Miriam when they said; Hath the Lord, indeed, spoken by Moses?
A45520Vespasian asked Apallonius, what was Nero''s overthrow?
A45520We shall here further shew, First, From what the hearts of Men and Saints shall be turned back?
A45520We shall now enquire, Fourthly, What is here meant by Mount Sion in the Text?
A45520What Doctrine for foundation, did he first lay?
A45520What Doctrine more perfect than that he taught?
A45520What Reformation of mistakes in Manners?
A45520What a Storm is here of unbridled passion in the mouth of Moses, the meekest man on earth?

A45520What is Truth?]
A45520What was his practice and profession in that juncture of time from 404 to about 412 and some time after?
A45520What was the way of deceiveableness wherein he went?
A45520Who art thou( saith the Apostle) that judgest another?
A45520Who was this that thus fell from Heaven, and who was thus cut down, but only the Representative of the Kingdom of Babylon?
A45520Why as Witchcraft?
A45520is Epiphanes: And why Epiphanes?
A45520is also the same beast: And why the same?
A45520or good Works weapons to overcome?
A45520or, what are the dangers, if the hearts of Men and Saints are not turned back from those( now more than ever swelling) sins?
A45520shall see their dead bodies; where?
A45520what''s this( say they) to us?
A45520when were they commanded( by any command either express or implicit) to spare or protect true Saints, and to torment the Papists, their persecutors?
A45520where are the first- fruits?
A45520wherein consists our remedy?
A45520who bound them( as these Locusts were) by a Law, that they should not hurt( any green thing) the servants of God?
A45520who''s this Son of Jesse?
A45520why halt they themselves betwixt pluralities of opinions?
A29667Alas, are we not all since Adams lapse buried under the shadow of death, and lost in the region of darknesse?
A29667And as he saith of himselfe, Who was weak and I was not weak?
A29667And doth not this convince them of what I affirme?
A29667And if I were now all gore blood, would I not now goe to the Chirurgians?
A29667And if it doth exist, must it not be this which you call actus secundus?
A29667And if this be the nature of the first, what can the second Being( which is the effect, and so lower) be, but a bare notion?
A29667And is not Truth the same?
A29667And others, whose affections are as it were benummed, and all activity is placed in their braine, understand more of the divine nature?
A29667And then how doth this excellency discover it selfe?
A29667Are not the two Testaments expositors of the two Tables?
A29667Are not these like the untrue Mother, who will kill the childe, because she can not call it her own?
A29667Are not those who propound, and they who entertain such a definition, justly compared to the Constable and the Country- Justice?
A29667Are not we as unable to prescribe the manner as the matter of Gods worship?
A29667Are not wee said to be made after the image of God?
A29667Are there not to the constitution of every Being three notions requisite?
A29667As, Vtrum differentiae possunt esse sub eodem genere cum illo quod differre faciunt?
A29667BUT still it is demanded, why may not the understanding supply the third place?
A29667But so, infinity, power,& c. all attributes are in God his Essence, as well as unity?
A29667But the Soule doth act, when it pronounceth a false position?
A29667But where is the second which entertaineth them?
A29667But where shall wee finde these in the understanding?
A29667But where will you finde This?
A29667Can these men, these Beings be said to know God?
A29667Canst thou number the moneths that they fulfill, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
A29667Do they leave us any latitude in any other of the Commandements?
A29667Doth not the people of Israel say, Wee are our owne Lords, who shall controll us?
A29667Est superficies concava corporis ambientis; Where is the truth of this in the highest heaven which incompasseth all the rest?
A29667Every truth is* a myste ● y; what must that be then, which is purposely vailed by the Spirit?
A29667For in these, how many, how eternall are the debates?
A29667For what giving and receiving can here be, besides that which maketh both to become one and the selfe same?
A29667For what( to speake in their language) is experiment, but the daughter of light, gathered by frequent observation?
A29667For, how is it possible, that a man should act falshood, a vanity, nothing?
A29667For, what is Discipline but that Doctrine of the manner of Gods worship?
A29667For, where, or who is He, that can resist the struglings of Divine Truth, forcing its way out from the Wombe of Eternity?
A29667Hath Ramus any whit advanced the cause in his definition?
A29667Have they not virtutes Intellectuales& Morales?
A29667How can it choose then, but to be one and the same, seeing( as I said before) such a Recipient can not entertain any other guest?
A29667How can then one piece of that Being impeach the other, one part of the Soule quarrell with the other?
A29667How doth our great Master perplexe himselfe in the inquiry of causes?
A29667How doth the Spirit befoole these men?
A29667How hath Aristotle defined Place?
A29667How is it said that Action is the perfection of all things?
A29667Hîc rogo, non furor est, ne moriare, mori?
A29667I doe seeme( if I mistake not) to maintaine this position by an evident demonstration, thus; Is there any that denyeth God to be purus actus?
A29667I may affirme the same of time, Tempus est mensura motus; What doe I know of time by this?
A29667I should onely aske this one question, Can the divels beleeve or know God to be all mercy?
A29667I will allow it; but is not the Ceremoniall included under the second precept?
A29667IF wee are thus at a stand, in these very beginnings, what shall wee bee, when wee enquire after Causes?
A29667If Faith and Reason, if knowledge and grace be all but one light, how commeth it to passe, that some who have lesse light, have more faith?
A29667If Time and Place be nothing, if all our Actions are but One: How can there be evill and good?
A29667If it be any other than a work of reason, how can it constitute, or become the forme of a rationall soule and humane understanding?
A29667If it be neither more excellent, nor lower, is it various, hath it lesse or more of action?
A29667If it be such, how differs it from thought, ratiocination or positions in the minde?
A29667If the members composing the Body, have matter and forme, why then not the whole Body?
A29667If the truth come from God, then why is it not immediately, intrinsecally, infused into the soule it selfe?
A29667If then it have no Being, the Soule can not act in it, and so it can not be the act of the Soule; For, how shall the soule or truth act upon nothing?
A29667If with this eye you view that Scripture, you will see it in its glory, Is thine eye evill, because thy brothers good increaseth?
A29667In Metaphysicks, with what curious nets do they intangle their hearers?
A29667Is it not a great question, Vtrum Prudentia sit virtus Moralis?
A29667Is not Reason?
A29667Is not this the Athenian Altar, which groaned under that Superscription,* To the unknowne God?
A29667Lastly, how passeth this light from the understanding to the soule?
A29667Locus and spatium corporis locati, is little better; what have we in this definition, of the intrinsecall nature of place?
A29667May we not say of these, what one saith wittily of the Soule?
A29667Now what is the reason of the rule?
A29667Now, what can this act be in this subject, whereof we discourse, but the reasonable working of the soule in this or that conclusion?
A29667Or secondly; Shall the cause be more ignoble than the effects?
A29667So then, What is the form of this primus actus?
A29667The Spirit saith, How can you love whom you doe not know?
A29667The ignorance of this Point, hath raised that empty Question, Whether the Soule or the Body be contentum?
A29667The questions about Faith and Love, are sufficient to fill the world with perpetuall quarrels; As, whether Faith precedeth Repentance?
A29667Thirdly, Who is it that communicateth this light?
A29667This is that which I aymed at; and why not?
A29667This not being well weighed, hath cast our wits upon strange rocks, hath raised this Question, How doth God see things?
A29667View then This new- borne Beauty; mark its Feature, proportion, lineaments; Tell mee now, was Its Birth an object of pity?
A29667Vnde rerum individuatio exoriatur?
A29667Vtrum Prudentia possit separari à virtute Morali?
A29667Vtrum Summum Bonum sit in Intellectu, an Voluntate?
A29667Vtrum universale sit aliquid reale, ● n notionale tantùm?
A29667Vtrum virtus Moralis sita sit in Appetitu Rationali, an Sensitivo?
A29667We have in an houre, an halfe, a quarter, a minute, a second,( the 60 part of a minute:)& how many subdivisions will a scruple admit of?
A29667Wee should not need to check and raise our selves with Davids out- cryes, why art thou cast downe my soule, why art thou disquieted within me?
A29667What a tedious work doth this very division lay upon us?
A29667What are the Mathematicall sciences, but Vnity turning it selfe into severall formes of Numbers and Figures, yet still remaining entire?
A29667What can those workings added to that, from which they receive themselves?
A29667What difference is there betwixt virtus quâ and a faculty?
A29667What fruit doth it yeeld better than the Silk- worme, which is worne onely for ostentation?
A29667What is True Philosophy but Divinity?
A29667What is it to be infinite?
A29667What is the forme of it?
A29667What is this Discourse, but the Work of an Vnderstanding?
A29667What is this their actus primus?
A29667What is this, I am that I am; but this, I am one?
A29667What is with them the forme of a reasonable soule?
A29667What then?
A29667When have the Sun- beams their vigor and efficacy, beating upon the burning glasse, but when the glasse hath gathered them all into one?
A29667Where is the power of our five senses, which are in their nature so honourable, that nihil cadit in intellectum, quod non prius cadit in sensum?
A29667Where is their vertue, but in communis sensus?
A29667Where or what is it?
A29667Where then is the sinne?
A29667Where, or who is Hee that by a Viperous wrea ● he*, or other assault, can smoother Hercules, though yet but sprawling in his cradle?
A29667Whereas, if we Knew aright, how even and smooth would be the way of action, and how great our contents therin?
A29667Whether Faith be a particular application of Christ to my selfe, or onely a bare spirituall beleefe, that Christ is the Son of God?
A29667Whether faith be a beleeving that I am saved, or depending upon God for salvation?
A29667Whether there be a prescript forme of Church- government?
A29667Which now is said to know more?
A29667Who is it that receiveth from the womb of Eternity that reasonable creature, but the creature received?
A29667Who is there that knoweth truth?
A29667Who will not cleerly lose himselfe in such an inquest?
A29667Why doe wee make Philosophy and Divinity two Sciences?
A29667Why may not I say the same of Time, seeing by all mens confessions they are twins of the same womb?
A29667Why may not I say, that if Time doth not parcell out one act, it can not act upon two, when the duality ariseth onely from Time?
A29667and I may say, How can you do what you know not?
A29667and if in any thing we are honoured with this inscription, it is in the most noble part?
A29667and those again, who are for knowledge, as Angels of light, are not partakers of that which is called Saving faith?
A29667can there then be a soule, till there be reason?
A29667doth not every body say, that in God there is no potentia?
A29667how can I from hence ghesse time to have so considerable a Being, as that it shall make two of that whith otherwise would be but one?
A29667if the Will act that way, which is, or ought to be to the Vnderstanding proprium quarto modo; Is not then the will an Vnderstanding?
A29667is not some act?
A29667more than to entangle empty wits withall?
A29667or canst thou mark when the Hindes doe calve?
A29667or rather of envy?
A29667what is the usefulnesse of this more than Arachne''s web?
A29667who was offended and I did not burne?
A29667why may it not be this Recipient?
A29667why should we then think, that That Commandement which God hath honoured in the second place, should be forgotten?
A70182& not to the bodie B?
A70182* How is it that those that are under continual temptations to vice, are yet kept within the bounds of vertue, and sobriety?
A70182* Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral contagion?
A70182* that any thing may be a suitable means to any end?
A70182And can they be Physically divided into parts of which they do n''t consist?
A70182And how can their deliverance be effected?
A70182And how can we be assured of that, if we know not that Veracity is a perfection?
A70182And how oddly does it look, that one solitary Individual of a Species should exist for God knows how many ages alone?
A70182And if he will the contrary to be true, namely, That he does not Exist, what becomes of him then?
A70182And if there be lapsed Souls there, how shall they be recovered?
A70182And indeed what can be absolute Soveraignty in an intelligent Being, if this be not?
A70182And shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A70182And that in the best and noblest pieces of his Creation?
A70182And then I would ask him, how he came to know what he affirms so boldly?
A70182And what a Paradox is this, that our Understandings, as our Eyes, are made onely for things revealed?
A70182And what am I concern''d then in his sins, which had never my will or consent, more than in the sins of Mahom ● t, or Julius Caesar?
A70182And what could God do more correspondently to his Wisdom and Goodness, dealing with free Agents, such as humane Souls are, than this?
A70182And what difference betwixt Impossibility and Necessity?
A70182And what great matter is it if they be not, provided they be as they are and ought to be, Divine?
A70182And what greater Absoluteness than this?
A70182And who knows but this might be part at least of that Glory which, he says, he had before the world was?
A70182And why were we drawn out of our nothings, but because it was better for us to be, than not to be?
A70182And yet that others, that have strong motives and allurements to the contrary, should violently break out into all kinds of extravagance and impiety?
A70182But did you take this for any shew of a proof?
A70182But if all alike live in bodies of air in the next condition,* where is then the difference between the just and the wicked, in state, place and body?
A70182But it will be said,( 3) If our Souls liv''d in a former state, did they act in bodies, or without them?
A70182But shall the righteous perish with the wicked?
A70182But the Patriarch Abraham was of another mind, Shall not the Judge of the whole Earth do right?
A70182But then you will say, What is the door and lock to this terrible place?
A70182But whither am I going?
A70182But who does not at first sight discern the weakness of this Allegation?
A70182But will it be said, why did not the divine Goodness endue us all with this moral ● ability?
A70182But( 2) Why is it so absurd that the Soul should have actuated another kind of body, before it came into this?
A70182Can any one say that our supposition derogates from the Divine concourse or Providence?
A70182Could not the Eternal Logos and the Ministry of Angels sufficiently discharge that Province?
A70182Does Mental and Sensitive Nature act on Brutes and Vegetables and all the Passive Elements?
A70182Doth it use to make and presently destroy?
A70182FOR can it be imagin''d that every Argument can be made a proportioned Medium to prove every Conclusion?
A70182For how can that be the effect of an equilibrious or sufficient Free Will and Power, that is in a manner perpetual and constant?
A70182For if they can act so fully and beatifically without any body, what need there be any Resurrection of the body at all?
A70182For their Prince is the Prince of the Air, as the Apostle calls him; and where can his subjects be, but where he is?
A70182For what a kind of Wisdom or Justice would that be that tended to no good?
A70182For what can infinite Wisdom be, but a steady, and immoveable comprehension of all those natures and relations?
A70182For what should make any mass of Matter one, but that which has a special Oneness of Essence in it self, quite different from that of Matter?
A70182For who shall be the common Seeds- man of succeeding Humanity, when all mankind is swept away by the fiery deluge?
A70182For why may not this Earth be the onely Hospital, Nosocomium or Coemeterium, speaking Platonically, of sinfully lapsed Souls?
A70182For, would the world have been too little to have contain''d those souls, without justling with some others?
A70182Had it not been better for us to have been made in this condition of security, than in a state so dangerous?
A70182Here therefore I demand, Are we not to thank him and praise him for his actions of Wisdom, Justice, and Holiness, though they be necessary?
A70182How can a Body that is neither capable of sense nor sin, infect a soul, as soon as''t is united to it, with such vitious debauched dispositions?
A70182How can such a cause produce an effect so disproportionate?
A70182How does this consist with Gods fresh creating humane Souls pure and innocent, and putting them into Bodies?
A70182How then can the Idea of God chiefly consist in this?
A70182How then should the Soul remember what she did or observ''d many hundreds, nay thousands of years ago?
A70182If I was then newly Created when first in this body; what was Adam to me, who sinned above 5000 years before I came out of nothing?
A70182If all were Eye, where were the Hearing,& c. as the Apostle argues?
A70182If bounded by Wisdom and Justice, why is it bounded by them, but that it is better so to be than otherwise?
A70182If so, how comes it about that at last they can all so well consist together?
A70182Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
A70182Is it possible there should be such a kind of Geometry, wherein any Problem should be demonstrated by any Principles?
A70182Is not this to ● lurr his goodness, and to strait- lace the divine beneficence?
A70182Is there a word said in his revealed Will to the contrary?
A70182Is this an effect of those tender mercies that are over all his works?
A70182Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral Contagion?
A70182Moreover the Question of the Disciples,* Was it for this mans sin, or for his Fathers that he was born blind?
A70182Nay, than in the sins of Beelzebub or Lucifer?
A70182Or what need of such a contraction in the Spirit of Nature or Plastick Soul of the corporeal Universe, that it may be contrived into a Nut- shell?
A70182Quid jucundius quàm scire quid simus, quid fuerimus, quid erimus, atque cum his etiam Divina illa atque suprema post obitum mundique Vicissitudines?
A70182Therefore before I go further, I would demand, whence comes this meer notional or speculative variety?
A70182To frame one thing and give it such or such a nature, and then undo what he had done, and make it another?
A70182Was it for this mans sin, or his fathers, that he was born blind?
A70182What a distorted and preposterous account is that found, that God should punish men before they sin, because he foresees they will sin?
A70182What is then: mere Will and Power left alone, but a blind Hurricane of Hell?
A70182What reason can be more clear or more convincing, That God can create a Spirit in the proper sense thereof, which includes Indiscerpibility?
A70182What remains then to be his Humiliation, but the condescending to assist and countenance the unclean endeavours of Adulterers and Adulteresses?
A70182What then is that action which proceeds onely from that part from which Goodness is secluded?
A70182What was it that gave us our being, but the immense goodness of our Maker?
A70182When it was just and wise for God to do so or so, and the contrary to do otherwise, had he a freedom to decline the doing so?
A70182Where is then the difference betwixt the just and the wicked, in state, place, and body?
A70182Where should he use his Understanding and Reason, if not in things unrevealed in Scripture; that is, in Philosophical things?
A70182Whither then can this Sol redivivus or the Earth turned wholly into the Materia subtilissima again be carried, but into the Sun it self?
A70182Who acquainted him with the Divine Counsels?
A70182Why should God make the Spirit of a Flea, which was intended for the constituting of such a small Animal, large enough to fill the whole world?
A70182Why therefore may we not lapse as before?
A70182Why?
A70182Will not the sincere and vertuous both in the Earth and Air be secured from this sad fate?
A70182and how shall we know it is so, unless there be an intrinsecal relation betwixt Veracity and Perfection?
A70182and if it be an humbling and debasing of him, how is it glorious?
A70182be said neither to have done good nor evil, if they pre- existed before they came into this world?
A70182or, hath he by his holy pen- men told us that either of the other ways was more sutable to his beneplaciture?
A70182or, would they by violence have taken any of the priviledges of the other intellectual Creatures from them?
A70182shall Christ undergo another and another death for them?
A70182that any Object may be conformable to any Faculty?
A70182the state of silence and insensibility?
A70182would not the difference be insensible, and the scandal, if any, the same in both?
A97067& c. Are they a Piece of the Whole and make up the totum Compositum?
A97067( Which is all one as if you should ask What is the Essence of an Essence?
A97067( Yea, why may not the Soule see, when the Eye is put out?)
A97067( or Vpon what rather?)
A97067Again, If there be Apparet and Apparuit, why not Est and Erit?
A97067And first, Whether Vnity be not All in God?
A97067And if Any Creatures may be possibly distinct from other, Why not These Creatures that now are?
A97067And if so, then how doth it differ f ● om Thought or Ratiocina ● ion?
A97067And if this be Hell, who will be afraid to Sinne?
A97067And if this be Hell; who will be afraid to Sinne?
A97067And is not Truth the same?
A97067And is not a Stone the same?]
A97067And such a Coexistence Aristotle and his followers will not deny; Else how can they speak of Qualitates Remissae?
A97067And why?
A97067And why?
A97067Are these Actions its Integrall Parts, as the Members are of the Body; and severall Waters of One Stream?
A97067Are they so?
A97067At, inquam, quare?
A97067At, inquie ●, quidni?
A97067Because every thing is its own Recipient?
A97067Between Davids One Act of Adultery, and the lascivious persons Constant Practise?
A97067But I ask, Whether he think this Attribute Love( and so of the rest) to be an Adequate expression of that whole Essence?
A97067But I demand withall, Whether Action be the sole End of the Soule?
A97067But how doth this prove its Essence to be Vnity?
A97067But if I ask, what it is To be Spirituall?
A97067But if difference of Time and Place be only imaginary; then why do we deny to the Papists, that Christs Body is corporeally present in the Sacrament?
A97067But is it soe?
A97067But is there not t ● e same Reason of Actions that is of Time?
A97067But is this all he seeks to prove?
A97067But what Evill do they mean?
A97067But what is there in all this to perswade us, that Unity is their Essence?
A97067But why so?
A97067But why?
A97067But will he say, So is it in our case?
A97067But will they say that Morall Evill is so too?
A97067But you aske, Why then did not God immediately and intrinsecally communicate this to the Soule it selfe, rather then as a Faculty, or by a Faculty?
A97067But, saith he; What is this their Actus primus?
A97067Can we not see whether he be there or not?
A97067Chapter, Whether the Soule( without an intervenient Faculty) may not be the Recipient of Truth?
A97067Cujus in examine pro lemmate habeatur; Formalem rationem propositionis constare in compositione praedicati cum subjecto?
A97067Dices, quidni quantitas possit esse sine figurâ?
A97067Doth a Stone cease to be Heavy, when it ceaseth to Fall downwards?
A97067Else, where is the fault in this Syllogisme?
A97067Evill in Metaphysicks ▪ or Evill in Ethicks?
A97067Falshood, saith he, is a Vanity, a Lye, a Nothing And why so?
A97067For I demand, What Principle is there implanted in nature to enform me, Whether there ever were such a City as Troy?
A97067For answer, I will but demand in generall, which his Lordship judgeth to be most E ● cellent, the End, or the Mean ●?
A97067For are there not many Individualls under the same Species, whereof One is not the Other?
A97067For granting all things to be One, Yet how shall I know, whether there be an Vnicorn ●, a Phoenix a Mermaid, or Ebur F ● ● ● il ●?
A97067For if he were there, then he Is there: since Then and Now are all one: And if he Be there, why do not I see him there?
A97067For if we knew, that All things are one, what need we feare either difficulty or danger?
A97067For its nature being Privative, and no Reall Being, how can the Soule or Truth work upon Nothing?
A97067For that is his Lordships next demand; Who is it that communicateth this Light?
A97067For what is the nature of Morall Good, or Evill?
A97067For, Is not Water its own Contentum: Is not the Vessell also its own Contentum?
A97067God commanded Moses to go down into Egipt,& c. and Aaron to offer Sacrifice: Doe I Sinne therefore when I doe not- obey this command made to them?
A97067Hath God( like Isaack) but One Blessing?
A97067How Christs body can be at the Same Time in Severall Places?
A97067How can we be said to remember?
A97067How?
A97067Humanitas you may say is Forma Hominis; but will you ask again, What is that which is forma Humanitatis?
A97067I ask therefore first, whether Fire( supposing it to be an Element) be not the true Recipient of Heat?
A97067I ask therefore, whether morall Goodnesse, or Honesty, ● e the Essence, the Entity of a Stone?
A97067I ask, if the Iteration be somwhat more then the first Commission?
A97067I desire, first, to know Whence the great Variety in the Creature doth proceed, if all Being be absolutely Homogeneall?
A97067I grant it; But what then?
A97067I reply, Because, in your Lordships name, invited: If why so late?
A97067I ● so, how can a Learned Schollar be said to Know more then an Ignorant Peasant?
A97067If I ask What the Soule is?
A97067If I be demanded therefore of what I doe, Why at all?
A97067If Iron desire Union,( or conjunction rather) with the Loadstone, doth this prove their Specificall Essence to be One?
A97067If Mans Essence be the higher degree, Why hath not Man the Loadstones Magnetick faculty?
A97067If Simile be Reall, why not Dissimile?
A97067If Succession and Difference of Time be only imaginary; Then why do I not N ● w know, that which I shall know To morrow?
A97067If all Actings be new Discoveries, How and When can wee be said to Remember?
A97067If every thing be the Recipient of its own Essence, must therfore this Essence needs be Truth?
A97067If he ask therfore, Doe they leave us any latitude in any other Commandements?
A97067If it be, then must it exist, else you allow it but a bare Notionall Being; And if it exist, mu ● t it not be that which you call actus secundus?
A97067If so, then I demand, From whence they are received?
A97067If so, then how comes it to passe, that the Soule needs the service of the Body?
A97067If so, then what is the difference between an Act of Sinning, and a Course of Sinning?
A97067If the Magnets Essence be the higher degree of Light, Why hath not the Magnet the use of Reason?
A97067If the One be Positive, why not the Other?
A97067If the Stone understood, and the Soule understanding, be the Same; then when began this Unity, ● ● ● ● Identy?
A97067If there be a prius and posterius in Appearing why not in Being?
A97067If you ask What this Substantiall Form is?
A97067If you aske What is the Form of this Activity( or Actuality rather) of this Actus primus which is the Soules Essence, If it be not Rationall Workings?
A97067Is it not Reason?
A97067Is it then his first Argument, propounded towards the end of the first chapter?
A97067Is therefore all Being the Same?
A97067It is true, it do ● h so: But( shall I speak it once for all?)
A97067Knowest thou not that I can pray to my Father, and he will send ● e more then twelve Legions of Angels?
A97067Lastly, How passeth( saith he) this Light from the Vnderstanding to the Soule?
A97067Lastly, why may not this and other Faculties be produced in the Soule and with the Soule, by immediate creation, from God?
A97067May not a Line disagree from its measure, by being too Long, as well as by being too Short?
A97067May not an Essence Be without Action, because it can not Act without Action?
A97067Must its Essence be Action, because its Efficacy is Action?
A97067Nay when two Drops of Water are separated, or conjoyned, is there any Essentiall or Reall Mutation in either?
A97067Nay why should an Artist be more skilfull in his Trade then another?
A97067Next, why may not the Soule, or Vnderstanding( whether you will) receive this Light of Reason from another Creature?
A97067Now if Likenesse be a Reall Relation; why may not Vnlikenesse be also a relation Reall?
A97067Now if Malum Metaphysicum, a Negation, a Non- Ens, may be Bonum Morale, what shall be the Malum Morale opposite to this Bonum?
A97067Now this shews perhaps, That the Morall Virtues are Vnited in One generall Essence: But how appears it, That this Essence is Vnity?
A97067Now, what is the Lawfullnesse of an Action, but its Morall Goodnesse?
A97067Objiciet forsan aliquis; An igitur[ Socrates est doctus] perinde est ac[ omnis homo est doctus?]
A97067Or 3 I ask, whether Appearing and not- Appearing be a Reall or onely Imaginary difference?
A97067Or Can he produce more but Will not?
A97067Or did they then contract this Unity, when first the Soul did actually Know it?
A97067Or( if it doe) doth it pro ● e ▪ that this One Essence is Vnity?
A97067Otherwise ▪ what will be the difference between Ignorance and Errour, between Silence and a Lye?
A97067Otherwise, How could it be better for that man( which betrayed our Saviour) that he had never been born?
A97067Secondly, If all Beings be but Gradually distinct: I demand Whether the Essence of a Man, or the Essence of a Magnet be the more Intense degree?
A97067Secondly, If one action give the Soule a Coexistence to all ● ternity, then what doth the Second and Subsequent Acts produce?
A97067Sed quàm benè convenit haec definitio axiomati Proprio, quod tamen illi est altera species axiomatis Specialis?
A97067Sed replico; An[ omnis homo est rationalis] idem valet ac[ omne animal est rationale?]
A97067Si semperde parte ▪ licèt de unâ parte dicatur, quid impedit quin de aliâ negetur, ita ut& affirmatio& negatio sint simul verae?
A97067Situs est dispositio partium corporis in loco; quid hoc aliud quàm modus?
A97067So then, what is the Form of this primus Actus?
A97067That all things did exist[ in their Beings] ab omni aeterno; And are they now but under ● Decree?)
A97067That the whole Aggregatum, the whole Heap or Multitude of Creatures do make One World?
A97067That( in the same manner) severall Acts doe constitute One Soule?
A97067The Act, or the Power?
A97067The Argument was this, The Vnderstanding is nothing but a Ray of the Divine Nature,& c. And is not Truth the same?
A97067The Eare can tell us, That it hears no Noise,( for how can it since there is none?)
A97067There is One Sunne; but is this Vnity Essentiall to it?
A97067Therefore First, I ask, Whether there be not the same reason for Succession in Time, that is for Extension in Place?
A97067Therefore what?
A97067This Argument?
A97067This being premised, I ask, Whether this One Emanation which his Lordship seeks to establish, be Really distinct from God or no?
A97067This not being well weighed saith he, hath raised that Question,[ How God should see All things?]
A97067Vnity then being so inseparable, as without which God could not be what he is, May it not be said to be Co- essentiall to him?
A97067Was there any Detraction, or Addition of Essence, or any Reality, that concerned Adams person, at such time as his children were born?
A97067We account those S ● ones precious, that have in them some rare Vertues: And why not the Soul, indued with so Divine a Faculty?
A97067Were they the Same before the Stone was actually understood?
A97067What Principle to enform, that it rained yesterday& is faire to day?
A97067What are the degrees of Heat or Cold in this or that Simple?

A97067What is the Form of it?
A97067What is the Fountain from which they are communicated?
A97067What is the difference between the Once committing of a sinful Act, and the Oft Reiterating of it?
A97067Whether Dictamnum be a Soveraign Balm?
A97067Whether Tobacco be hot or cold?
A97067Whether it were so destroyed?
A97067Whether the Philosophers Stone, or a Perpetuall Motion, be possibile?
A97067Whether this or that were Plato''s or Aristotle''s Opinion?
A97067Whether, in answering an Objection, he doe not overthrow his principall Argument?
A97067Who is it that receiveth from the Womb of Eternity that reasonable creature, but the creature received?
A97067Why are we exhorted to Cease from evill; if every Act be Eternall, and whatsoever succeeds can be but the Same?
A97067Why do we allow, that Faith doth concurrere effica ● iter ad salutem, but deny the same to Works?
A97067Why do we dispute concerning matters of Fact; as whether Peter were at Rome, and the like?
A97067Why doe we cry down the Lutheran Consubstantiation, as absurd?
A97067Why may not an Infant new born plead his cause as well as the best experienced Lawyer?
A97067Why not Together, as well as Successively, if Time be nothing?
A97067Yea what need is there of the Body ▪ at all?
A97067Yea, how void of Envy at anothers good, and thoughts of Revenging injuries?
A97067You will ask me, What distinction therefore will I allow between actus primus and secundus; between the Agent and its Action?
A97067and againe, What is the Essence of That Essence?
A97067and the Loadstone the true Recipient of the Attractive virtue that is in it?
A97067and the Sunne, the true Recipient of Light?
A97067annon utraque est universalis?
A97067are not they divisible into as many parts, whereof every parcell answers to a portion of that Time?
A97067by one sad stroke who shot Religion, Learning, Piety, what not?
A97067c ● quo non dicatur Doctus?
A97067do they give it a new Being, a new Eternity?
A97067doe Former Actings no way help our Subsequent Acts?
A97067h. e. res sine modo?
A97067how is one said to be learned, another ignorant?
A97067if in his operations we admit not of this choice, to work Thus rather then Th ● ●?
A97067if the Operations be the Souls Essence?)
A97067is it not some Act?
A97067is it not, a Conformity, or a Difformity to a Morall Precept?
A97067must therefore Unity be Positive or Reall?
A97067not by Physicall Production, but by Essentiall Emanation?
A97067or Whether they be some thing or nothing?
A97067or would there have been afterwards, if all except Adam had been swept away?
