A80794	A learned and exceeding well-compiled vindication of liberty of religion: written by Junius Brutus in Latine, and translated into English by N.Y. who desires, as much as in him is, to do good unto all men: wherein these three following propositions are undenyably proved, and all objections to the contrary fully answered. 1. That if magistrates, in case of necessity, promise hereticks liberty of religion; they are bound to performe their promise after that necessity ceaseth. 2 That magistrates may with a safe conscience grant hereticks liberty of religion, and oblige themselves by an oath, or bond of assurance, to provide for their safety and security. 3. That magistrates ought to grant hereticks liberty of religion, and to oblige themselves by an oath, or bond of assurance, to provide for their safety and security.; Vindiciae pro religionis libertate. English.	Crell, Johann, 1590-1633.; N. Y. translator.	1646 (1646)	Wing C6879; Thomason E1178_4; ESTC R208101	37,701	85

that_o those_o which_o judge_v it_o not_o expedient_a to_o tolerate_v heretic_n because_o they_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n by_o their_o difference_n in_o religion_n do_v use_v the_o same_o argument_n which_o infidel_n or_o heretic_n may_v easy_o retort_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o own_o dominion_n true_o haman_n use_v the_o like_a argument_n in_o former_a time_n that_o he_o may_v show_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o be_v root_v out_o charge_v they_o also_o with_o treason_n as_o that_o they_o contemn_v the_o king_n command_n which_o malicious_a accusation_n proceed_v from_o no_o other_o ground_n then_o because_o the_o jew_n will_v not_o obey_v in_o any_o wise_a the_o king_n decree_n in_o matter_n belong_v to_o religion_n to_o which_o calumny_n they_o be_v always_o obnoxious_a which_o follow_v a_o different_a religion_n from_o that_o which_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n approve_v of_o and_o defend_v by_o force_n for_o so_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o letter_n which_o that_o haman_n publish_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o king_n haman_n declare_v unto_o we_o that_o in_o all_o nation_n 4_o hest_n 13._o 4_o throughout_o the_o world_n there_o be_v scatter_v a_o certain_a people_n that_o have_v law_n contrary_a to_o all_o nation_n and_o continual_o despise_v the_o commandment_n of_o king_n so_o as_o the_o unite_n of_o our_o kingdom_n can_v go_v forward_o see_v then_o we_o understand_v that_o this_o people_n alone_o be_v continual_o in_o opposition_n unto_o all_o man_n differ_v in_o the_o strange_a manner_n of_o their_o law_n and_o evil_a affect_v to_o

of_o their_o enemy_n neither_o skill_v it_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o case_n that_o these_o be_v believer_n those_o infidel_n these_o catholic_n those_o heretic_n for_o if_o diversity_n of_o religion_n disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o catholic_a religion_n will_v as_o much_o trouble_n it_o in_o a_o heretical_a commonwealth_n especial_o allow_v of_o the_o slaughter_n of_o heretic_n as_o a_o heretical_a religion_n in_o a_o catholic_a yea_o a_o heretical_a religion_n which_o disallow_v of_o any_o slay_v or_o prosecute_n of_o heretic_n will_v far_o less_o cause_n it_o than_o the_o catholic_a religion_n and_o moreover_o every_o man_n think_v that_o he_o have_v a_o right_a opinion_n and_o belief_n concern_v religion_n and_o a_o catholic_a be_v as_o much_o a_o heretic_n in_o the_o estimation_n of_o a_o heretic_n as_o a_o heretic_n be_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o catholic_a therefore_o if_o that_o reason_n be_v true_a which_o i_o confute_v a_o heretical_a magistrate_n can_v but_o think_v that_o his_o course_n to_o preserve_v the_o peace_n of_o his_o kingdom_n must_v be_v to_o banish_v catholic_n out_o of_o the_o bound_n thereof_o but_o if_o catholic_n like_v not_o this_o neither_o let_v they_o think_v it_o fit_a for_o themselves_o to_o expel_v heretic_n their_o commonwealth_n chap._n iii_o catholic_n ought_v to_o grant_v heretic_n liberty_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o provide_v for_o their_o security_n we_o have_v show_v in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n that_o the_o liberty_n of_o religion_n which_o heretic_n desire_v require_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o they_o may_v receive_v no_o hurt_n nor_o be_v afflict_v with_o any_o punishment_n for_o heresy_n in_o one_o word_n that_o a_o civil_a peace_n may_v be_v accept_v of_o with_o they_o but_o now_o the_o first_o argument_n we_o bring_v to_o prove_v that_o catholic_n ought_v to_o live_v peaceable_o with_o they_o be_v because_o they_o may_v do_v it_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n as_o have_v be_v hitherto_o sh●wne_v but_o if_o catholic_n may_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n live_v peaceable_o with_o they_o than_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v so_o for_o thus_o

and_o damage_n to_o themselves_o therefore_o whereas_o promise_n and_o faithful_a deal_n require_v that_o what_o be_v speak_v shall_v be_v perform_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o catholic_n if_o they_o desire_v to_o avoid_v the_o crime_n of_o treachery_n and_o false_a deal_n ought_v even_o then_o to_o suffer_v and_o tolerate_v heretic_n when_o they_o can_v overwhelm_v they_o without_o bring_v any_o trouble_n unto_o themselves_o and_o sure_o if_o conscience_n will_v suffer_v they_o to_o assure_v heretic_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v liberty_n of_o religion_n among_o they_o without_o any_o limitation_n of_o time_n or_o express_o even_o for_o perpetuity_n their_o conscience_n also_o will_v allow_v they_o yea_o require_v they_o to_o make_v that_o liberty_n safe_a and_o secure_a to_o heretic_n constant_o although_o they_o may_v convenient_o be_v suppress_v which_o that_o it_o may_v be_v make_v more_o clear_a and_o evident_a we_o must_v observe_v the_o nature_n of_o covenant_n and_o bond_n of_o assurance_n when_o any_o one_o make_v a_o bargain_n and_o bond_n of_o assurance_n with_o another_o he_o promise_v to_o do_v that_o which_o otherwise_o he_o can_v without_o any_o loss_n to_o himself_o yea_o perhaps_o even_o to_o his_o own_o profit_n omit_v and_o do_v the_o contrary_n and_o he_o which_o desire_v security_n may_v be_v give_v he_o require_v another_o to_o perform_v that_o to_o himself_o which_o otherwise_o he_o have_v liberty_n to_o leave_v undo_v and_o perhaps_o the_o intermission_n thereof_o may_v be_v more_o beneficial_a and_o please_a to_o he_o for_o covenant_n and_o agreement_n be_v devise_v to_o the_o end_n provision_n may_v be_v make_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o our_o own_o interest_n and_o convenience_n even_o then_o when_o no_o external_a force_n or_o damage_n can_v compel_v the_o other_o party_n either_o to_o abstain_v from_o do_v wrong_n or_o to_o perform_v that_o benefit_n and_o good_a turn_n he_o promise_v for_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n in_o promise_n ought_v to_o prevail_v as_o much_o with_o we_o as_o compulsion_n wherefore_o while_o catholic_n give_v assurance_n unto_o heretic_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v freedom_n of_o religion_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o they_o likewise_o desire_v assurance_n of_o they_o that_o they_o assure_v and_o these_o desire_n to_o be_v assure_v of_o be_v that_o for_o the_o future_a they_o shall_v be_v secure_a from_o receive_v any_o damage_n by_o the_o catholic_n when_o it_o may_v be_v profitable_a to_o they_o to_o subvert_v and_o destroy_v heretic_n but_o if_o conscience_n do_v not_o allow_v catholic_n to_o deal_n thus_o with_o heretic_n also_o it_o will_v not_o permit_v they_o to_o make_v such_o agreement_n as_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o at_o any_o time_n with_o heretic_n much_o less_o to_o confirm_v they_o with_o the_o holy_a reverence_n of_o a_o oath_n from_o whence_o it_o will_v certain_o follow_v that_o all_o those_o catholic_n have_v great_o sin_v who_o ever_o make_v with_o heretic_n such_o convention_n and_o that_o not_o only_o other_o catholic_a doctor_n have_v err_v which_o approve_v of_o such_o covenant_n when_o necessity_n press_v they_o to_o it_o but_o even_o the_o very_a bishop_n of_o rome_n himself_o head_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n who_o do_v not_o condemn_v those_o writing_n set_v forth_o by_o the_o jesuit_n themselves_o in_o which_o such_o agreement_n be_v allow_v furthermore_o it_o will_v follow_v from_o thence_o that_o a_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o heretic_n if_o they_o will_v regard_v their_o own_o safety_n of_o plot_v and_o endeavour_v always_o where_o and_o when_o they_o can_v to_o destroy_v catholic_n utter_o although_o they_o will_v be_v content_v for_o a_o while_n to_o live_v quiet_o among_o they_o because_o they_o know_v that_o catholic_n when_o they_o shall_v get_v a_o fit_a occasion_n to_o oppress_v and_o kill_v they_o can_v only_o make_v use_n of_o it_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n but_o also_o that_o they_o can_v but_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n without_o violence_n to_o their_o conscience_n and_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o religion_n they_o be_v constrain_v to_o suppress_v they_o notwithstanding_o any_o promise_n whatsoever_o because_o sure_o those_o promise_n howsoever_o confirm_v with_o oath_n become_v then_o unlawful_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n when_o heretic_n may_v be_v quell_v and_o subvert_v without_o prejudice_n and_o peril_n to_o the_o church_n therefore_o unless_o heretic_n be_v resolve_v to_o betray_v their_o own_o life_n and_o fortune_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o spare_v catholic_n if_o they_o can_v overcome_v they_o moreover_o if_o there_o be_v any_o hope_n to_o prevail_v by_o take_v up_o of_o arm_n they_o ought_v to_o lay_v hold_n on_o they_o and_o not_o to_o stay_v till_o in_o process_n of_o time_n and_o by_o some_o sudden_a change_n they_o become_v altogether_o unequal_a in_o number_n and_o strength_n unto_o the_o catholic_n but_o to_o set_v present_o upon_o they_o and_o run_v rather_o the_o hazard_n of_o a_o doubtful_a war_n than_o expect_v a_o certain_a destruction_n from_o they_o but_o if_o these_o thing_n seem_v strange_a and_o absurd_a to_o catholic_n and_o they_o make_v such_o agreement_n without_o any_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n and_o have_v the_o consent_n of_o their_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n to_o do_v so_o in_o those_o kingdom_n province_n and_o commonwealth_n where_o they_o be_v not_o strong_a enough_o to_o contend_v with_o heretic_n it_o be_v necessary_a altogether_o that_o conscience_n shall_v permit_v they_o also_o to_o stand_v to_o those_o covenant_n when_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o profitable_a for_o catholic_n to_o break_v they_o and_o very_o if_o calique_n make_v such_o like_a agreement_n at_o any_o time_n that_o they_o may_v prevent_v the_o bring_n of_o some_o discommodity_n and_o damage_n to_o their_o church_n they_o be_v bind_v also_o afterward_o to_o
