Some Select QUERIES Humbly Offered to the Consideration OF THE D — of C — t — b — y. SIR ,

In your Preface before Bishop Wilkins's Sermons , you recommend Moderation to the World for a great Virtue ; wherefore the first Query is ;

I. Whether the greatest Trimmer be the most vertuous Man . And if so ?

II. Whether the D — of C — be not the most virtuous Man in the whole World ?

III. Whether a Man born of Anabaptistical Parents , and who can be prov'd not to have been Baptiz'd at eight Years of Age , can be supposed to be qualified to receive the Orders of the Church of England , and to be made D — of one of the most Eminent Sees thereof , who has nothing to recommend him but his spewing up the Engagement ?

IV. Whether supposing it can be prov'd that the said D — did in the late times Preach expresly against the Common-Prayer in St. Mary's Church in Cambridge , and that he has never since , either by Word or Deed , contradicted that Sermon , he may not reasonably be suspected to be of the same Principle still , as he was at that time ?

V. Whether or no a Man of his Constitution , who has run through so many Tryals , and is yet ( alive ) with a safe Conscience , may not at last be hop'd to die a good Musselman ?

VI. Whether or no the said D — design'd the Interest of the Church of England , when he Preached a turn for Julian the Apostate to give him leave to answer Dr. Hick's Jovian ?

VII . Whether or no it belongs to the Authority and Office of a D — of the Church of England to vindicate every Traytor that appears guilty of High Treason ?

VIII . Whether or no the said D — did well in defacing the Altar piece of his own Cathedral , for fear of offending tender Consciences ?

IX . What Opinion we ought to have of this D — who at two solemn Funerals Preached the same Sermon , first , for a known Loyal Church of England Man , and afterward for a Fanatick Preacher ?

X. Whether or no the said D — whom his Father call'd Jahnny no otherwise than he named Spaniel Tray at eight years of Age , and cannot prove that he ever since had Water thrown upon his Face , or the Sign of the Cross made , may by vertue of his Orders be judged a Christian ?

XI . Whether or no the said D — Would not make a good D — of Bray ?

XII . What Religion is to be understood by the Protestant Religion ?
