SIXTH VOLUM E.

A.

ABRIDGMENT of faith, what

it is,
Acts of the apostles, book so
called, the author did not
charge his readers against stir-
ring beyond it,
248

how wisely as well as faith-
fully written by St. Luke, 328,

329
Actual assent to fundamental ar-
ticles, how necessary, 223, 224
Adam, wrong notions concern-
ing his fall,
4, 5, &c.

ibid.

what he fell from,
Allegations between contending
parties, to be esteemed false
until proved,

192

Apostles, the wisdom of the Lord

Atheism, want of seriousness in

discoursing of divine things
may occasion it,

304

how falsely "The Rea-
sonableness of Christianity" is
charged with promoting it, 305
Author of "The Reasonableness
of Christianity"falsely charged
with making one article ne-
cessary in formal words, 194
falsely accused of deny-
ing some articles of christian-
ity,
197
falsely charged with new
modelling the apostles creed,
201

the several articles made
necessary by him, 202, &c.
falsely charged with say-
ing "all things in christianity
"must be level to every un-
"derstanding," 205, 214, &c.

requires proof of his
making all but one article use-
less to make a man a christian,

CHRIST, the meaning of his
answer, (John vi. 70) 56
why he did not expressly
reveal his Messiahship to his
disciples,
35, &c.
-his Messiahship more clearly
discovered a little before his
sufferings, 57-Yet even then
he did not expressly declare it
to the jewish rulers, 69

how wisely he answered
his captious enemies, 74
why he owned himself to
be the Son of God before the
high-priest,
77

why he would not expressly
own himself a king before
Pilate,
77, 78

his innocency attested even
by Pilate and Judas, 80, 86
why he spoke obscurely of
his destroying Jerusalem,
(Matt. xxiv.)
88
→→→→ Judas being gone, he spake
more explicitly of his king-
dom,

90

to the last he required of
his disciples only to believe
him to be the Messiah, 96, &c.

Christ expressly applied the pro-
mises of the Messiah to himself
after his resurrection, 99, &c.
much oftener mentioned
his kingly office than any other,
113, &c.
how he fulfilled the moral
law,
122

what we may think to be
the state of those who never
heard of him,
132

the necessity of his coming
to make God known, 135-To
teach men their duty, 138-To
instruct in the right forms of
divine worship, 147, &c.—To
give sufficient encouragement
to a good life, 148-And to
assure men of divine assistance,

are obliged to believe
all that they find our Saviour
taught,

404
all things necessary to
be believed by them, not ne-
cessary to their being such,
405, &c.
why they must believe
whatever they find revealed by
Christ,
408
Christianity, the fundamental ar-
ticles of it easy to be under-
stood,

Commission of our Lord, was to

argument of despising them,

doctrines necessary and not
necessary hard to be dis-
tinguished in them, 258,259
Evangelists, numerous citations
out of them, ill-termed a te-
dious collection, 251, 252

though they wrote for
believers, yet relate Christ's
doctrine to unbelievers, 253
no good reason to sup-
pose them defective in relating
fundamentals,
316, 317
contain all doctrines
necessary to make a man a
christian,
318, &c.
some things wrote by
them not necessary to make a
man a christian, 320, &c.
when they made the
greatest omissions, yet they
recorded all things necessary
to christianity, 323, &c.
wisely observe the ge-
nuine rules of history, 324
fundamental articles
unjustly supposed to be omit-
ted by them,
to charge them with
such omissions, to accuse them
of unfaithfulness, ibid.

Exclusion of some truths, the

every scripture truth, 349,

352

how but one article was
taught by the apostles, to make
men christians,
352, 353

- whether all the articles of it
necessary to the being chris-
tians, were discovered in our
Saviour's time,
355

the author falsely charged
with bringing no tidings of an
evangelical one,
414
Formal words, when charged,
ought to be expressly proved,
194
Fundamental articles (of faith)
where to be found, 215, &c.
