A54578	A discourse concerning liberty of conscience In which are contain'd proposalls, about what liberty in this kind is now politically expedient to be given, and severall reasons to shew how much the peace and welfare of the nation is concern'd therein.

and_o be_v likely_a so_o to_o continue_v be_v because_o they_o be_v more_o than_o heretofore_o inquisitive_a in_o civil_a thing_n as_o when_o the_o polish_a knowledge_n of_o philologie_n have_v

falkland_n in_o one_o of_o his_o print_a speech_n where_o speak_v of_o bishop_n he_o say_v i_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la nay_o i_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v not_o

person_n intend_v to_o be_v judge_n how_o far_a man_n civil_a and_o spiritual_a liberty_n reach_v and_o what_o be_v the_o frontier_n of_o both_o nothing_o we_o see_v be_v more_o common_a among_o the_o

second_o those_o that_o take_v away_o from_o other_o their_o spiritual_a liberty_n show_v that_o they_o can_v take_v away_o part_n of_o their_o civil_a at_o least_o or_o else_o the_o whole_a of_o

that_o mean_n in_o a_o better_a capacity_n to_o take_v away_o another_o just_o as_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o take_v away_o one_o limb_n from_o a_o man_n body_n be_v the_o more_o able_a to_o take_v away_o another_o because_o by_o the_o loss_n of_o that_o a_o man_n have_v the_o less_o strength_n to_o defend_v himself_o against_o a_o further_a assault_n but_o although_o in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o world_n man_n have_v not_o the_o same_o high_a esteem_n for_o spiritual_a liberty_n as_o for_o civil_a just_a as_o the_o par_fw-fr or_o proportion_n of_o silver_n to_o gold_n in_o several_a country_n do_v differ_v it_o may_v be_v affirm_v that_o in_o this_o nation_n general_o they_o have_v it_o be_v true_a that_o broken-fortuned_a man_n do_v not_o value_v civil_a liberty_n nor_o man_n of_o debauch_a conscience_n spiritual_a but_o neither_o of_o these_o qualification_n have_v produce_v a_o general_a undervalue_v of_o either_o sort_n of_o liberty_n among_o we_o as_o to_o what_o may_v

answer_v that_o their_o religion_n oblige_v they_o to_o perform_v a_o servile_a obedience_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n in_o thing_n sacred_a and_o they_o look_v on_o he_o as_o infallible_a have_v
