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

unite_v together_o by_o consent_n in_o religion_n but_o by_o difference_n and_o disagreement_n therein_o they_o be_v divide_v and_o distract_v neither_o can_v it_o otherwise_o happen_v but_o that_o they_o who_o be_v zealous_o affect_v to_o religion_n shall_v rise_v up_o in_o arm_n against_o they_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o who_o they_o be_v full_o persuade_v do_v spread_v abroad_o ungodly_a and_o pestilent_a doctrine_n neither_o true_o the_o conscience_n of_o magistrate_n and_o catholic_a pastor_n do_v permit_v they_o to_o quench_v the_o zeal_n and_o affection_n in_o the_o people_n to_o the_o catholic_a religion_n which_o they_o ought_v rather_o to_o cherish_v and_o increase_v therefore_o they_o can_v so_o bridle_v and_o repress_v the_o fury_n of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v inflame_v with_o a_o deadly_a hatred_n against_o heretic_n but_o that_o it_o will_v at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o break_v forth_o in_o violence_n against_o heretic_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o preserve_v safe_a and_o sound_a the_o public_a peace_n to_o hinder_v tumult_n to_o take_v out_o of_o the_o way_n whatsoever_o may_v occasion_v they_o if_o he_o do_v otherwise_o he_o offend_v his_o own_o conscience_n and_o do_v not_o execute_v that_o office_n which_o god_n have_v commit_v to_o his_o

remain_v one_o course_n only_o to_o be_v take_v which_o be_v to_o expel_v heretic_n and_o to_o suffer_v and_o establish_v but_o one_o religion_n in_o one_o country_n and_o that_o to_o be_v the_o catholic_a religion_n these_o say_n may_v seem_v to_o some_o man_n very_o plausible_a yet_o if_o thou_o diligent_o observe_v thou_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v such_o which_o even_o experience_n itself_o do_v very_o much_o confute_v for_o so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o be_v true_a that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o the_o only_a way_n to_o free_v a_o commonwealth_n from_o tumult_n and_o

look_v upon_o those_o which_o be_v modern_a and_o of_o latter_a time_n and_o almost_o subject_a to_o thy_o view_n behold_v france_n oftentimes_o swim_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o its_o own_o

see_v that_o by_o oppose_a heretic_n with_o force_n tumult_n and_o war_n be_v raise_v up_o not_o quell_v and_o prevent_v but_o i_o shall_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v a_o iron-hearted_a man_n who_o be_v not_o trouble_v and_o grieve_v for_o such_o tragical_a and_o sad_a example_n it_o be_v true_o to_o be_v wish_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o religion_n in_o a_o kingdom_n and_o that_o the_o true_a one_o for_o neither_o be_v it_o a_o question_n but_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n may_v be_v more_o unite_v together_o in_o mutual_a good_a will_n and_o affection_n yet_o thus_o much_o we_o deny_v that_o by_o diversity_n of_o religion_n the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n be_v altogether_o so_o distract_v and_o divide_v that_o a_o civil_a concord_n and_o a_o mutual_a good_a will_n between_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o same_o city_n or_o kingdom_n can_v stand_v together_o with_o that_o difference_n in_o religion_n moreover_o if_o they_o which_o bear_v rule_v in_o any_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n will_v but_o prevail_v a_o little_a with_o their_o affection_n to_o tolerate_v heretic_n which_o be_v weak_a they_o will_v knit_v rather_o and_o bind_v the_o mind_n of_o heretic_n in_o good_a will_n towards_o themselves_o for_o that_o which_o they_o in_o justice_n do_v that_o heretic_n which_o be_v weak_a in_o strength_n will_v account_v a_o courtesy_n and_o ascribe_v it_o to_o their_o gentle_a disposition_n bounty_n and_o benevolence_n wherefore_o they_o which_o deny_v that_o peace_n can_v remain_v in_o a_o commonwealth_n if_o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o religion_n in_o it_o they_o also_o must_v deny_v that_o a_o weak_a party_n which_o be_v of_o a_o different_a religion_n may_v be_v tolerate_v by_o the_o strong_a in_o a_o kingdom_n which_o whosoever_o shall_v affirm_v they_o also_o shall_v excuse_v the_o heathen_n who_o in_o former_a age_n will_v not_o tolerate_v christian_n that_o be_v weak_a than_o themselves_o because_o indeed_o they_o can_v not_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v assert_v and_o avouch_v concern_v antiochus_n and_o other_o king_n who_o in_o former_a time_n grievous_o afflict_v the_o jew_n over_o who_o they_o have_v dominion_n for_o religion_n sake_n but_o why_o shall_v that_o be_v deny_v to_o be_v feasible_a which_o appear_v to_o have_v be_v often_o do_v as_o we_o see_v it_o now_o adays_o to_o be_v under_o the_o turk_n himself_o who_o permit_v christian_n in_o several_a part_n of_o his_o dominion_n to_o exercise_v their_o own_o religion_n why_o do_v so_o many_o endeavour_n and_o some_o by_o write_v book_n other_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n to_o persuade_v the_o magistrate_n not_o to_o grant_v a_o toleration_n unto_o heretic_n which_o be_v not_o so_o strong_a as_o themselves_o in_o power_n but_o why_o do_v they_o fear_v lest_o that_o be_v grant_v which_o can_v be_v but_o perhaps_o they_o which_o think_v it_o can_v be_v admit_v judge_v of_o other_o man_n according_a to_o their_o own_o disposition_n and_o be_v lead_v either_o with_o a_o overhot_a and_o preposterous_a zeal_n or_o so_o enrage_v and_o transport_v with_o the_o wilfulness_n and_o unrulinesse_n of_o their_o own_o mind_n and_o confidence_n of_o their_o own_o strength_n that_o they_o think_v those_o which_o be_v not_o so_o powerful_a as_o themselves_o may_v not_o be_v endure_v who_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v permit_v if_o they_o be_v more_o powerful_a a_o civil_a peace_n therefore_o may_v as_o i_o have_v say_v consist_v even_o where_o there_o be_v difference_n of_o opinion_n in_o matter_n belong_v to_o religion_n that_o be_v a_o know_v and_o a_o usual_a proverb_n among_o the_o common_a people_n good_a man_n may_v differ_v in_o opinion_n even_o about_o the_o same_o matter_n without_o any_o breach_n of_o friendship_n to_o which_o sense_n that_o also_o tend_v which_o be_v as_o common_a a_o friend_n to_o the_o person_n yet_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o cause_n neither_o do_v it_o less_o concern_v matter_n of_o religion_n than_o state-affair_n moreover_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v consider_v disagreement_n in_o state-affair_n be_v more_o hurtful_a to_o a_o civil_a peace_n and_o concord_n than_o difference_n in_o opinion_n about_o a_o matter_n of_o piety_n which_o if_o man_n will_v moderate_v and_o bridle_v their_o affection_n especial_o those_o which_o be_v most_o powerful_a leave_v the_o bond_n of_o concord_n safe_a and_o secure_a in_o a_o commonwealth_n even_o for_o because_o it_o do_v not_o of_o itself_o concern_v civil_a society_n so_o in_o former_a age_n roman_a emperor_n which_o embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n enjoy_v a_o quiet_a dominion_n although_o they_o permit_v pagan_n which_o oppose_v it_o but_o heathennish_a emperor_n which_o tolerate_a christian_n have_v a_o far_o
