Part 55
_Remonstrants_ of _Holland_; See _Arminians_, _Redemption_. They deny absolute Reprobation, 38. How we differ from them, 121. They exalt too much the natural Power and free Will of Man, and what they think of the Saving Light, 147. Their Worship can easily be stopped, 322.
_Reprobation_; See also _Redemption_. What absolute Reprobation is, is described, 88, 89. Its Doctrine is horrible, impious, and blasphemous, 89 to 93. It is also so called by _Lucas Osiander_, 104. It is a new Doctrine, and _Augustine_ laid the first Foundation thereof, which _Dominicus_, _Calvin_, and the Synod of _Dort_ maintained, 89, 103, 104. Also _Luther_, whom notwithstanding _Lutherans_ afterwards deserted, 103, 104. It is injurious to God, and makes him the Author of Sin; proved by the Sayings of _Calvin_, _Beza_, _Zanchius_, _Paræus_, _Martyr_, _Zuinglius_, and _Piscator_, 90, 91. It makes the preaching of the Gospel a mere Mock and Illusion, 92. It makes the Coming of Christ, and his Propitiatory Sacrifice to have been a Testimony of God’s Wrath, _ibid._ It is injurious to Mankind, and makes his Condition worse than the Condition of Devils, Beasts, Jews under Pharaoh, and the same which the Poets applied to _Tantalus_, 93.
_Revelation_, God always manifested himself by the Revelations of the Spirit, iii. 14, 15, 43. They are made several Ways, iii. They have been always the formal Object of Faith, and so remain, _ibid._ 17 to 31. And that not only subjectively, but also objectively, 31, 32. They are simply necessary unto true Faith, iii. 4, 36, 45. They are not uncertain, 34, 35, 36. Yea, it is horrible Sacrilege to accuse them of Uncertainty, 28. The Examples of the Anabaptists of _Munster_ do not a Whit weaken this Doctrine, 36, 39, 42. They can never contradict the Holy Scripture, nor sound Reason, iii. 43, 65. They are evident and clear of themselves, nor need they another’s Testimony, iii. 43, 44. They are the only, sure, certain, and unmoveable Foundation of all Christian Faith, 45. Carnal Christians judge them nothing necessary; yea, they are hissed out by the most Part of Men, 5. Of old none were esteemed Christians save those that had the Spirit of Christ; but now-a-days he is termed an Heretick who affirms that he is led by it, 28. The Testimonies of some concerning the Necessity of these Revelations, 6 to 9, 27, 28. By whose and what Devices they have been brought out of Use, 106.
_Revenge_; See _War_, 488, 489.
_Rule_ of Faith and Manners; See _Scripture_.
_Rustick_, The poor Rustick’s Answer given to the proud Prelate, 250. He brought a Philosopher unto the Christian Faith, 268.
S
_Sabbath_, 301, 302.
_Sacraments_, of their Number, Nature, _&c._ how much Contention there hath been, and that the Word _Sacrament_ is not found in Scripture, but borrowed from the Heathens, 356, 357, 385. Its Definition will agree to many other Things, 358. Whether they confer Grace, 421.
_Salvation_, Without the Church there is no Salvation, 233.
_Samaria_, The Woman of _Samaria_, 402.
_Sanctification_; See _Justification_.
_Saxony_, The Elector of _Saxony_, of the Scandal he gave to the Reformation, by being present at that Mass, 349.
_Sceptick_, 267.
_School_, Without the School of Christ nothing is learned but mere Talk, and a Shadow of Knowledge, 6, 7, 8. Whether publick Schools be necessary, 265.
_Scriptures_ of Truth, whence they proceeded, and what they contain, 48. They are a Declaration of the Fountain, and not the Fountain itself, _ibid._ They are not to be esteemed the adequate primary Rule of Faith and Manners, but a secondary, and subordinate to the Spirit, and why, 48 to 72, 255. Their Certainty is only known by the Spirit, 48, 235. They testify that the Spirit is given to the Saints for a Guide, 48, 61, 66, 71. Their Authority depends not upon the Church, or Council, nor upon their intrinsick Virtue, but upon the Spirit; nor is it subjected to the corrupt Reason of Men, but to the Spirit, 48, 63. The Testimonies of _Calvin_, the _French Churches_, the Synod of _Dort_, and the Divines of _Great Britain_ at _Westminster_ concerning this Thing, 49, 50. The Contentions of those that seek the Certainty of the Scriptures from something else than the Spirit, _ibid._ Divers Opinions of the Fathers (so called) concerning some Books, _ibid._ Concerning the Taking away, and the Corruption of same Places; the Translation, Transcription, and various Lections of the Hebrew Character, and of the Greek Books, the Interpretation of the Septuagint, concerning the Hebrew Books, and of admitting or rejecting some Books, 60, 61. Of the Difficulty in their Explanation, 64, 65. _Augustine_’s Judgment concerning the Authors of the Canonical Books, and concerning the Transcription and Interpretation, 61, 62. The Use of them is very profitable and comfortable, 51, 63, 64. The Unlearned and Unstable abuse them, 64. There is no Necessity of believing the Scripture to be a filled up Canon, 69. Many canonick Books, through the Injury of Time, lost, 70. Whether it can be proved by Scripture that any Book is Canonical, 70, 71. They were some Time as a sealed Book, 265. To understand them there is Need of the Help and Revelation of the Holy Spirit, 6, 7, 8. No Man can make himself a Doctor of them, but the Holy Spirit, _ibid._
_Sect_, The Ignatian Sect loveth Literature, 265, 266. They call those that are sent unto _India_ Apostles, 278.
_Seed_ of Righteousness, 317. The Seed of Sin; See _Sin_, _Redemption_.
_Self-denial_, 316.
_Semi-pelagians_, their Axiom, Facienti quod in se est Deus non denegat gratiam, 103.
_Servant_, Whether it be lawful to say, I am your humble Servant, 460.
_Servetus_, 442, 443.
_Shoe-maker_, he Disputes with the Professor, 266.
_Silence_; See _Worship_.
_Simon Magus_, 284.
_Sin_; See _Adam_, _Justification_. It shall not have Dominion over the Saints, 53. The Seed of Sin is transmitted from _Adam_ unto all Men, but it is imputed to none, no not to Infants, except they actually join with it by Sinning, 73, 81 to 84. And this Seed is often called _Death_, 85. Original Sin, of this Phrase the Scripture makes no Mention, _ibid._ By Virtue of the Sacrifice of Christ; we have Remission of Sins, 115, 170. Forgiveness of Sin among the Papists, 166. A Freedom from actual Sin is obtained, both when and how, and that many have attained unto it, 204 to 223. Every Sin weakens a Man in his spiritual Condition, but doth not destroy him altogether, 206. It is one Thing _not to sin_, another Thing _not to have Sin_, 216, 217. Whatsoever is not done through the Power of God is Sin, 318.
_Singing_ of Psalms, 352.
_Socinians_; See _Natural Light_. Their Rashness is reproved, 24. They think Reason is the chief Rule and Guide of Faith, 24, 25, 37. Albeit many have abused Reason, yet they do not say, that any ought not to use it; and how ill they argue against the inward and immediate Revelations of the Holy Spirit, 36 to 39. Yet they are forced ultimately to recur unto them, 44, 45. They exalt too much their natural Power, and what they think of the _Saving Light_, 147. Their Worship can easily be stopped, 322.
_Son_ of God; See _Christ_, _Knowledge_, _Revelation_.
_Soul_, the Soul hath its Senses, as well as the Body, 8. By what it is strengthened and fed, 319, 398.
_Spirit_, The Holy Spirit; See _Knowledge, Communion, Revelation, Scripture_. Unless the Spirit sit upon the Heart of the Hearer, in vain is the Discourse of the Doctor, 7, 20. The Spirit of God knoweth the Things of God, 14. Without the Spirit none can say that Jesus is the Lord, 7, 8, 14, 15. He rested upon the seventy Elders and others, 17. He abideth with us for ever, 22, 23. He teacheth and bringeth all Things to remembrance, and leads into all Truth, 24, 30, 31, 48. He differs from the Scriptures, 24, 25. He is God, _ibid._ He dwelleth in the Saints, 25 to 30. Without the Spirit Christianity is no Christianity, 25, 26, 37, 51. Whatsoever is to be desired in the Christian Faith, is ascribed to him, 26. By this Spirit we are turned unto God, and we Triumph in the Midst of Persecutions, 26. He quickens, _&c._, _ibid._ An observable Testimony of _Calvin_ concerning the Spirit, 27, 28, 29, 49, 50. It is the Fountain and Origin of all Truth and right Reason, 43. It gives the Belief of the Scriptures, which may satisfy our Consciences, 50. His Testimony is more excellent than all Reason, _ibid._ He is the chief and principal Guide, 58. He reasoneth with and striveth in Men, 127. Those that are led by the Spirit love the Scriptures, 62, 234, 235. He is as it were the Soul of the Church, and what is done without him is vain and impious, 266. He is the Spirit of Order, and not of Disorder, 273. Such as the Spirit sets apart to the _Ministry_ are heard of the Brethren, 275. It is the Earnest of our Inheritance, 58.
_Spiritual_ Iniquities, 312. _Spiritual_ Discerning, 431.
_Stephen_ spake by the Spirit, 26.
_Suffering_, How _Paul_ filled up that which was behind of the Afflictions of Christ; how any are made Partakers of the Sufferings of Christ, and conformable to his Death, 216.
_Superstition_, 296. Whence Superstitions sprung, 313, 355, 387.
_Supper_; See _Communion Bread_. It was of old administred even to little Children and Infants, 422.
T
_Tables_, 414.
_Talents_, One Talent is not at all insufficient of itself; the Parable of the Talents, 137, 138. Those that improved their Talents well, are called good and faithful Servants, 194. He that improved well his two Talents, was nothing less accepted than he that improved his five, 205.
_Talk_; See _Plays_.
_Taulerus_ was instructed by the poor Laick, 257. He tasted of the Love of God, 302.
_Testimony_; See _Spirit_.
_Theseus_ his Boat, 280.
_Thomas_ of _Kempis_, 302.
_Tithes_ were assigned to the Levites, but not to the Ministers of this Day, 285.
_Titles_, It is not at all lawful for Christians to use those Titles of Honour, Majesty, _&c._ 452, 455 to 464.
_Tongue_, The Knowledge of _Tongues_ is laudable, 265.
_Tradition_, how insufficient it is to decide, 38. It is not a sufficient Ground for Faith, 422.
_Translations_; See _Bible_.
_Truth_, There is a Difference betwixt what one saith of the Truth, and that which the Truth itself, interpreting itself, saith, 6. Truth is not hard to be arrived at, but is most nigh, 7.
_Turks_, among them there may be Members of the Church, 233, 234.
V
_Vespers_, 302.
_Voices_, Outward Voices; See _Faith_, _Miracles_.
W
_War_, That it is not lawful for Christians to resist evil, nor wage war, 452, 488 to 497.
_Washing_ of Feet, 408, 409.
_William Barclay_, 438.
_Woman_, A Woman may preach, 275, 281. _Luther_ also, 243.
_Word_, The Eternal Word is the Son: It was in the Beginning with God, and was God: It is Jesus Christ, by whom God created all Things, 12, 113. What _Augustine_ read in the Writings of the _Platonists_ concerning this Word, 161.
_Works_ are either of the Law, or of the Gospel, 195. See _Justification_.
_Worship_, What the true and acceptable Worship to God is, and how it is offered, and what the superstitious and abominable is, 294, &c. The true Worship was soon corrupted and lost, 297. Concerning the Worship done in the Time of the Apostasy, 302, 342. Of what Worship is here handled, and of the Difference of the Worship of the old and new Covenant, 298, 299, 324, 325, 326. The true Worship is neither limited to Times, Places, nor Persons, and it is explained how this is to be understood, 299, 300, 330, 331, 332, 340, 341, 342, 370, 371. Concerning the Lord’s Day, and the Days upon which Worship is performed, 301. Of the publick and silent Worship, and its Excellency, 303 to 333. Of Preaching, 333 to 339. Of Prayer, 339 to 351. Of Singing of Psalms, and Musick, 352, 353. What Sort of Worship the _Quakers_ are for, and what Sort their Adversaries, 354.

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
Archaic, obsolete, unusual and spellings and words have been maintained. Obvious misspellings have been fixed, and some words and names have been standardized within the document. The "errata" which are noted in the book have been applied and no further note of them will be made here. Sidenotes in the original book that were just citations have been converted to footnotes.
Some programs will display the longer Hebrew phrase on Page 218 with the words in the correct order and some reversed. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a way to get uniformity in rendering.
