take_v more_o care_n of_o your_o liberty_n than_o of_o your_o religion_n by_o reason_n that_o i_o have_v say_v so_o much_o of_o the_o former_a but_o far_o be_v so_o atheistical_a a_o thought_n from_o i_o i_o bless_v god_n it_o never_o yet_o enter_v into_o my_o heart_n although_o i_o be_o not_o so_o religious_a as_o i_o ought_v to_o be_v yet_o i_o think_v our_o religion_n to_o be_v more_o

before_o i_o speak_v more_o particular_o upon_o they_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v something_o to_o you_o upon_o two_o thing_n which_o be_v very_o injurious_a to_o religion_n and_o yet_o be_v do_v out_o of_o a_o pretend_a care_n and_o tenderness_n for_o it_o the_o first_o be_v when_o protestant_n break_v into_o several_a sect_n and_o distinct_a congregation_n and_o not_o be_v content_a with_o worship_v god_n in_o their_o own_o way_n be_v uneasy_a at_o all_o other_o who_o follow_v not_o with_o they_o every_o one_o be_v so_o assure_v that_o they_o be_v not_o mistake_v that_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v any_o but_o themselves_o to_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o therefore_o leave_v the_o excellent_a rule_n of_o charity_n to_o follow_v a_o blind_a infallibility_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o whilst_o we_o be_v upon_o earth_n we_o shall_v have_v different_a sentiment_n and_o opinion_n and_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o help_v it_o because_o our_o reason_n be_v too_o shortsighted_a and_o purblind_a but_o yet_o we_o may_v all_o agree_v to_o have_v a_o mutual_a charity_n for_o one_o another_o and_o then_o every_o man_n will_v be_v the_o better_a for_o his_o religion_n and_o no_o body_n will_v be_v the_o worse_a for_o it_o for_o otherwise_o instead_o of_o promote_a religion_n we_o eat_v out_o the_o bowel_n of_o it_o that_o be_v we_o destroy_v that_o charity_n without_o which_o we_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o alas_o it_o be_v come_v to_o this_o that_o one_o be_v for_o paul_n another_o for_o apollo_n and_o another_o for_o cephas_n one_o ask_v of_o such_o a_o one_o be_v he_o a_o true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o second_o inquire_v whether_o he_o be_v of_o such_o a_o congregation_n a_o three_o demand_n to_o know_v if_o he_o follow_v such_o a_o man_n if_o so_o all_o be_v well_o and_o with_o they_o he_o must_v pass_v for_o a_o good_a man_n without_o examine_v into_o his_o life_n and_o moral_n but_o what_o do_v all_o this_o amount_v to_o be_o i_o the_o better_a for_o be_v of_o such_o a_o man_n opinion_n or_o of_o such_o a_o communion_n unless_o i_o be_o a_o doer_n as_o well_o as_o a_o hearer_n of_o the_o word_n or_o what_o be_v another_o man_n the_o worse_o because_o he_o be_v not_o of_o my_o opinion_n if_o he_o live_v a_o better_a life_n than_o i_o do_v this_o zeal_n for_o a_o party_n be_v a_o zeal_n rather_o to_o be_v reprove_v than_o to_o invite_v other_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o argument_n of_o religion_n but_o a_o sign_n of_o pharisaical_a pride_n when_o a_o man_n be_v uneasy_a with_o another_o because_o he_o worship_v god_n in_o a_o way_n different_a from_o he_o for_o if_o any_o man_n desire_v to_o live_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o that_o end_n do_v daily_o try_v and_o examine_v himself_o he_o will_v find_v himself_o to_o be_v more_o amiss_o therein_o than_o he_o can_v discover_v in_o other_o and_o therefore_o to_o lead_v a_o good_a life_n be_v the_o best_a argument_n that_o any_o man_n can_v use_v to_o persuade_v another_o to_o be_v of_o his_o opinion_n the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v injurious_a to_o religion_n be_v when_o the_o discipline_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n interfere_v with_o the_o state_n break_v into_o the_o method_n and_o foundation_n of_o it_o to_o advance_v the_o power_n and_o greatness_n of_o the_o clergy_n this_o soon_o become_v mischievous_a to_o religion_n for_o as_o it_o do_v in_o no_o sort_n promote_v god_n glory_n or_o tend_v to_o the_o reform_v of_o man_n manner_n so_o when_o the_o people_n find_v their_o liberty_n crowd_v to_o make_v elbow-room_n for_o the_o clergy_n and_o that_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n will_v help_v to_o make_v they_o slave_n they_o will_v be_v very_o apt_a to_o abhor_v the_o offering_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o wellregulated_n constitution_n the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v mould_v according_a to_o the_o principle_n upon_o which_o the_o civil_a government_n stand_v for_o if_o the_o church_n be_v to_o model_n the_o state_n christ_n kingdom_n will_v be_v of_o this_o world_n which_o he_o have_v express_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v not_o be_v not_o that_o people_n then_o in_o a_o sad_a condition_n when_o that_o which_o be_v amiss_o in_o the_o

time_n and_o so_o the_o nation_n must_v languish_v to_o satisfy_v the_o imagination_n of_o some_o people_n who_o be_v afraid_a of_o their_o shadow_n for_o how_o the_o church_n can_v be_v hurt_v by_o any_o law_n that_o concern_v the_o state_n be_v not_o easy_o to_o be_v comprehend_v if_o those_o law_n establish_v no_o other_o gospel_n than_o that_o which_o be_v deliver_v by_o our_o saviour_n nothing_o can_v hurt_v the_o church_n but_o itself_o and_o it_o be_v never_o in_o more_o danger_n than_o when_o it_o be_v in_o its_o great_a pomp_n and_o grandeur_n the_o deceit_n of_o this_o be_v very_o plain_a because_o they_o that_o bawl_v most_o of_o the_o danger_n that_o the_o church_n be_v in_o have_v the_o least_o of_o religion_n in_o their_o life_n for_o those_o who_o live_v and_o understand_v better_o see_v the_o folly_n of_o it_o as_o also_o of_o that_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n which_o many_o cry_v up_o as_o the_o cornerstone_n of_o the_o

for_o when_o their_o right_n come_v to_o be_v touch_v no_o man_n mouth_n be_v so_o full_a of_o liberty_n and_o property_n as_o they_o but_o now_o that_o the_o storm_n be_v pretty_a well_o blow_v

it_o be_v the_o sinew_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o impair_v or_o counterfeit_v it_o be_v a_o great_a joss_n and_o damage_n to_o the_o public_a so_o that_o the_o offence_n in_o so_o do_v be_v not_o

upon_o they_o but_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o great_a interest_n the_o public_a have_v in_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o same_o thing_n if_o the_o money_n have_v any_o

the_o reason_n why_o the_o offence_n in_o these_o case_n be_v make_v so_o capital_a be_v because_o of_o the_o great_a detriment_n they_o bring_v upon_o the_o public_a to_o extol_v a_o foreign_a

many_o people_n have_v be_v under_o a_o very_a great_a mistake_n in_o this_o matter_n suppose_v it_o be_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o religion_n that_o the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n be_v put_v to_o

execute_v for_o it_o have_v be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o this_o sort_n of_o vermin_n by_o their_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n sow_v the_o seed_n of_o division_n and_o thereby_o wrought_v great_a disturbance_n in_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v therefore_o think_v fit_a by_o the_o parliament_n to_o take_v this_o way_n as_o the_o most_o effectual_a to_o keep_v they_o out_o for_o as_o what_o they_o do_v amount_v to_o nothing_o less_o than_o treason_n so_o it_o be_v high_o reasonable_a that_o the_o punishment_n shall_v be_v commensurate_a to_o the_o offence_n and_o since_o it_o be_v
