make_v these_o that_o be_v to_o do_v double_a the_o work_n which_o now_o they_o do_v that_o be_v to_o make_v some_o slave_n but_o of_o this_o elsewhere_o 13._o and_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o solvent_a thief_n and_o cheat_n be_v rather_o punish_v with_o multiple_a restitution_n than_o death_n pillory_n whip_v etc._n etc._n but_o it_o will_v be_v ask_v with_o how_o manifold_a restitution_n shall_v pick_v a_o pocket_n for_o example_n be_v punish_v i_o say_v it_o be_v good_a in_o order_n to_o the_o solution_n hereof_o to_o inquire_v of_o some_o candid_a artist_n in_o that_o trade_n how_o often_o they_o be_v take_v one_o time_n with_o another_o practise_n in_o this_o work_n if_o but_o once_o in_o ten_o time_n then_o to_o restore_v even_o but_o sevenfold_a will_v be_v a_o fair_a profit_n and_o to_o restore_v but_o tenfold_o be_v but_o a_o even_o lie_v wherefore_o to_o restore_v twentyfold_o that_o be_v double_a to_o the_o hazard_n be_v rather_o the_o true_a ratio_fw-la and_o measure_n of_o punishment_n by_o double_a reparation_n 14._o and_o sure_o the_o restore_v two_o three_o four_o and_o sevenfold_a mention_v in_o moses_n law_n must_v be_v thus_o understand_v or_o else_o a_o man_n may_v make_v thieve_v a_o very_a fair_a and_o lawful_a profession_n 15._o the_o next_o question_n be_v in_o such_o multiple_a restitution_n how_o many_o part_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o the_o sufferer_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v never_o above_o one_o and_o scarce_o that_o to_o oblige_v he_o to_o more_o care_n and_o self-preservation_n with_o three_o part_n to_o discoverer_n and_o the_o rest_n to_o public_a use_n 16._o three_o in_o the_o case_n of_o fornication_n most_o of_o the_o punishment_n not_o make_v by_o pecuniary_a mulct_n and_o commute_v be_v but_o shame_n and_o that_o too_o but_o towards_o some_o few_o person_n which_o shame_n for_o ever_o after_o obdurate_v the_o offender_n what_o ever_o it_o work_v upon_o such_o who_o fame_n be_v yet_o entire_a of_o all_o which_o man_n take_v little_a consideration_n stand_v upon_o the_o brink_n of_o such_o precipice_n as_o make_v they_o giddy_a and_o when_o they_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o such_o fault_n as_o be_v rather_o madness_n distemper_n and_o alienation_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o reason_n as_o also_o insurrection_n of_o the_o passion_n than_o deliberate_a act_n of_o the_o understanding_n 17._o moreover_o according_a to_o that_o axiom_n of_o in_o quo_fw-la quis_fw-la peccat_fw-la in_fw-la codem_fw-la puniatur_fw-la if_o the_o ratio_fw-la formalis_fw-la of_o the_o sin_n of_o concubitus_fw-la vagi_fw-la be_v the_o hinder_v of_o procreation_n let_v those_o who_o by_o their_o miscarrage_v of_o this_o kind_n be_v guilty_a thereof_o repair_v unto_o the_o state_n the_o miss_n of_o another_o pair_n of_o hand_n with_o the_o double_a labour_n of_o their_o own_o or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o by_o a_o pecuniary_a mulct_n and_o this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o some_o wise_a state_n in_o punish_v what_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prevent_v nor_o do_v the_o gospel_n specify_v any_o punishment_n in_o this_o world_n only_o declare_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o next_o 18._o i_o can_v instance_n in_o more_o particular_n but_o if_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v reasonable_a this_o little_a be_v enough_o if_o not_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n will_v be_v too_o little_a also_o wherefore_o i_o shall_v add_v but_o one_o instance_n more_o as_o most_o suitable_a to_o our_o present_a time_n and_o occasion_n which_o be_v the_o way_n of_o punish_a heterodox_n professor_n of_o religion_n 19_o that_o the_o magistrate_n may_v punish_v false_a believer_n if_o he_o believe_v he_o shall_v offend_v god_n in_o forbear_v it_o be_v true_a for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o man_n give_v for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o universal_a toleration_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o he_o may_v permit_v false_a worship_n seem_v clear_o at_o least_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o state_n who_o allow_v ambassador_n their_o freedom_n be_v their_o worship_n never_o so_o abominable_a even_o when_o they_o come_v to_o negotiate_v but_o upon_o temporal_a and_o small_a matter_n 20._o wherefore_o since_o the_o magistrate_n may_v allow_v or_o connive_v at_o such_o worship_n as_o himself_o think_v fit_a and_o yet_o may_v also_o punish_v and_o since_o by_o death_n mutilation_n and_o imprisonment_n of_o the_o subject_n the_o state_n not_o only_o punish_v itself_o but_o spread_v the_o pseudodoxy_n it_o follow_v that_o pecuniary_a mulct_n be_v the_o fit_a way_n of_o check_v the_o wantonness_n of_o man_n in_o this_o particular_a forasmuch_o as_o that_o course_n favour_n of_o no_o bitterness_n at_o all_o but_o rather_o argue_v a_o desire_n to_o indulge_v provide_v such_o indulgence_n may_v consist_v with_o the_o indemnity_n of_o the_o state_n for_o no_o heterodox_n believer_n will_v desire_v to_o be_v tolerate_v long_o than_o he_o keep_v the_o public_a peace_n the_o which_o if_o he_o meas_fw-la to_o do_v he_o can_v take_v it_o ill_o of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o keep_v he_o steady_a unto_o that_o his_o duty_n nor_o grudge_v to_o contribute_v towards_o so_o much_o charge_n for_o that_o purpose_n as_o himself_o occasion_n 21._o moreover_o as_o there_o seem_v a_o reason_n for_o indulge_v some_o conscientious_a misbeliever_n so_o there_o be_v as_o much_o for_o be_v severe_a towards_o hypocrite_n especial_o such_o as_o abuse_v holy_a religion_n to_o cloak_n and_o vizard_n worldly_a end_n now_o what_o more_o easy_a and_o yet_o effectual_a way_n be_v there_o to_o discern_v between_o these_o two_o then_o well_o proportion_v pecuniary_a mulct_n for_o who_o desire_v to_o serve_v god_n without_o fear_n and_o labour_v ten_o hour_n per_fw-la idem_fw-la at_o his_o call_v will_v not_o labour_v one_o hour_n more_o for_o such_o a_o freedom_n even_o as_o religious_a man_n spend_v a_o hour_n per_fw-la diem_fw-la more_o than_o the_o loose_a sort_n at_o their_o devotion_n or_o who_o wear_v cloth_n of_o one_o and_o twenty_o shilling_n the_o yard_n will_v not_o be_v content_v with_o that_o of_o twenty_o shilling_n for_o the_o same_o advantage_n of_o his_o liberty_n in_o worship_n those_o that_o kick_v at_o this_o be_v unwilling_a either_o to_o do_v or_o suffer_v for_o god_n for_o who_o sake_n they_o pretend_v so_o much_o 22._o it_o may_v be_v here_o object_v that_o although_o some_o bad_a religion_n may_v be_v tolerate_v yet_o that_o all_o may_v not_o viz._n such_o as_o consist_v not_o with_o the_o civil_a peace_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o schism_n or_o separation_n be_v it_o never_o so_o small_a consistent_a with_o that_o unity_n and_o peace_n as_o can_v be_v wish_v nor_o none_o so_o perfect_o conscientious_a but_o may_v also_o be_v civil_o most_o pernicious_a for_o that_o venner_n and_o his_o complice_n act_v upon_o internal_a motive_n the_o most_o free_a expose_v of_o themselves_o to_o death_n may_v evince_v and_o yet_o their_o hold_v the_o king_n to_o be_v a_o usurper_n upon_o the_o throne_n and_o right_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o civil_a mischief_n neither_o to_o be_v pardon_v or_o parallel_v 28._o and_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n there_o be_v no_o pseudodoxy_n so_o great_a but_o may_v be_v muzzle_v from_o do_v much_o harm_n in_o the_o state_n without_o either_o death_n imprisonment_n or_o mutilation_n to_o make_v short_a no_o opinion_n can_v be_v more_o dangerous_a then_o to_o disbelieve_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o render_v man_n a_o beast_n and_o without_o conscience_n or_o fear_v of_o commit_v any_o evil_n if_o he_o can_v but_o elude_v the_o penalty_n of_o humane_a law_n make_v against_o it_o and_o let_v man_n loose_a to_o all_o evil_a thought_n and_o design_n whereof_o man_n can_v take_v no_o notice_n now_o i_o say_v that_o even_o this_o misbeliever_n may_v be_v adaequate_o punish_v if_o he_o be_v keep_v as_o a_o beast_n be_v proprietor_n of_o nothing_o as_o make_v no_o conscience_n how_o he_o get_v be_v never_o admit_v in_o evidence_n or_o testimony_n as_o under_o no_o obligation_n to_o speak_v truth_n be_v exclude_v all_o honour_n and_o office_n as_o care_v only_o for_o himself_o not_o the_o protect_a of_o other_o and_o be_v withal_o keep_v to_o extreme_a bodily_a labour_n the_o profit_n
