that_o it_o may_v be_v impossible_a to_o make_v religion_n a_o pretence_n of_o rebellion_n and_o this_o direct_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o next_o reason_n against_o our_o author_n politic_n viz_o three_o

among_o we_o and_o by_o plant_v in_o we_o all_o those_o heavenly_a grace_n that_o will_v secure_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n and_o make_v we_o like_a unto_o god_n and_o fit_a to_o enjoy_v he_o to_o all_o eternity_n that_o most_o conduce_v to_o the_o good_a of_o all_o mankind_n that_o establish_v peace_n unity_n and_o universal_a charity_n among_o all_o man_n that_o preserve_v the_o quiet_a of_o family_n the_o tranquillity_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o health_n of_o our_o body_n in_o sum_n can_v any_o religion_n better_o promote_v the_o peace_n of_o our_o nation_n then_o that_o which_o

of_o evil_n towards_o any_o man_n under_o pain_n of_o the_o great_a most_o inevitable_a and_o eternal_a torment_n and_o make_v not_o the_o least_o allowance_n for_o the_o least_o of_o evil_n either_o in_o thought_n word_n or_o deed_n have_v we_o not_o see_v the_o peaceable_a effect_n of_o our_o church_n and_o her_o doctrine_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a miserable_a war_n among_o we_o for_o

even_o by_o the_o very_a principle_n of_o their_o religion_n why_o then_o shall_v this_o religion_n be_v remove_v from_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n will_v it_o promote_v peace_n to_o take_v away_o that_o which_o be_v the_o grand_a foundation_n of_o it_o and_o to_o implant_v in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o principle_n of_o all_o kind_n of_o sedition_n and_o disobedience_n will_v it_o preserve_v his_o

there_o be_v no_o stand_a army_n to_o keep_v the_o people_n in_o obedience_n so_o that_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o in_o every_o nation_n either_o a_o stand_a army_n or_o the_o establishment_n of_o a_o unity_n in_o religion_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o public_a peace_n and_o safety_n now_o whether_o it_o will_v be_v think_v more_o convenient_a for_o the_o peace_n of_o england_n to_o

exercise_n of_o every_o man_n religion_n i_o answer_v that_o no_o nation_n nor_o church_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n allow_v a_o great_a liberty_n in_o the_o private_a exercise_n of_o religion_n than_o we_o have_v for_o be_v it_o not_o establish_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v liberty_n to_o exercise_v his_o own_o religion_n not_o only_o with_o those_o of_o

therefore_o he_o must_v mean_v not_o the_o private_a but_o the_o public_a exercise_n of_o every_o man_n religion_n it_o may_v be_v this_o gentleman_n be_v a_o experimental_a philosopher_n and_o be_v therefore_o induce_v to_o try_v experiment_n in_o religion_n and_o politic_n as_o well_o as_o in_o natural_n though_o he_o thereby_o hazard_v the_o safety_n of_o a_o whole_a nation_n i_o will_v now_o
