A83437	The casting down of the last and strongest hold of Satan. Or, A treatise against toleration and pretended liberty of conscience: wherein by Scripture, sound reason, fathers, schoolmen, casuists, Protestant divines of all nations, confessions of faith of the Reformed Churches, ecclesiastical histories, and constant practice of the most pious and wisest emperours, princes, states, the best writers of politicks, the experience of all ages; yea, by divers principles, testimonies and proceedings of sectaries themselves, as Donatists, Anabaptists, Brownists, Independents, the unlawfulnesse and mischeif [sic] in Christian commonwealths and kingdoms both of a vniversal toleration of all religions and consciences, and of a limited and bounded of some sects only, are clearly proved and demonstrated, with all the materiall grounds and reasons brought for such tolerations fully answered. / By Thomas Edvvards, Minister of the Gospel.

down_o the_o use_n of_o all_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a power_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n so_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o set_v up_o the_o pope_n and_o make_v antichrist_n

do_v teach_v of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o counsel_n for_o it_o may_v be_v pious_o and_o probable_o believe_v that_o counsel_n true_o general_a and_o lawful_a that_o be_v lawful_o gather_v and_o proceed_v to_o be_v so_o govern_v and_o direct_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o they_o may_v not_o err_v in_o fundament_n all_o point_n i_o say_v this_o may_v be_v believe_v because_o it_o be_v

and_o determine_v controversy_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o appoint_v by_o god_n to_o avoid_v confusion_n and_o rent_n in_o the_o church_n hence_o the_o authority_n of_o lawful_a counsel_n have_v a_o special_a force_n and_o singular_a efficacy_n before_o many_o other_o motive_n of_o faith_n to_o beget_v a_o peswasion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n agree_v
