A62898	A position concerning persecution That religion that persecutes a righteous people for their conscience towards God, is not worthy to be joyned to, but to be had in abomination by all sober people, as a religion abhorred of God, and of all that truly know him. This is manifest by that which follows.	Tomlinson, William.	1660 (1660)	Wing T1849; ESTC R219740	7,415	11

liberty_n yea_o after_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n there_o have_v be_v a_o time_n and_o that_o a_o long_a time_n grant_v to_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n the_o son_n of_o perdition_n to_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n over_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n for_o the_o punish_n of_o all_o they_o that_o love_v unrighteousness_n and_o strong_a delusion_n have_v be_v send_v upon_o they_o to_o enslave_v their_o conscience_n their_o most_o noble_a part_n unto_o man_n because_o they_o love_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n and_o so_o antichrist_n kingdom_n be_v full_a of_o slave_n but_o that_o time_n be_v wear_v out_o and_o pass_v over_o and_o god_n will_v turn_v his_o hand_n against_o that_o proud_a spirit_n that_o dare_v usurp_v his_o throne_n and_o prerogative_n over_o man_n conscience_n in_o impose_v the_o matter_n of_o his_o worship_n upon_o they_o without_o his_o command_n after_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o tradition_n for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o earthly_a end_n and_o advantage_n when_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n have_v do_v god_n scourge_v work_n upon_o israel_n than_o the_o lord_n take_v notice_n of_o the_o proud_a heart_n of_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n in_o that_o work_n and_o call_v he_o to_o a_o account_n for_o help_v forward_o the_o affliction_n though_o upon_o a_o people_n that_o have_v transgress_v how_o much_o more_o will_v he_o do_v it_o for_o a_o people_n that_o subject_a their_o conscience_n in_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n single_o to_o he_o and_o walk_v inoffensive_o and_o harmless_o among_o man_n in_o their_o generation_n the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n jesus_n they_o dare_v not_o challenge_v power_n over_o man_n faith_n and_o conscience_n in_o impose_v upon_o they_o what_o the_o spirit_n command_v not_o which_o thing_n of_o right_n have_v belong_v to_o they_o if_o to_o any_o the_o conscience_n and_o faith_n be_v that_o which_o their_o work_n be_v exercise_v about_o therefore_o for_o they_o to_o look_v for_o it_o who_o work_n be_v to_o regulate_v the_o civil_a life_n of_o man_n and_o to_o bear_v the_o sword_n for_o transgressor_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o peace_n that_o they_o may_v not_o destroy_v one_o another_o nor_o the_o righteous_a this_o be_v a_o usurpation_n which_o the_o apostle_n dare_v not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o 10._o again_o persecution_n argue_v a_o want_n of_o truth_n on_o that_o part_n that_o persecute_v for_o wherefore_o do_v they_o fly_v to_o carnal_a weapon_n such_o as_o the_o apostle_n never_o use_v to_o subdue_v error_n with_o and_o lay_v aside_o spiritual_a weapon_n such_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v use_v and_o appoint_v to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o stop_n of_o the_o mouth_n of_o gainsayer_n be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o distrust_v their_o own_o weapon_n or_o find_v themselves_o foil_v and_o not_o sufficient_o defend_v by_o they_o and_o therefore_o fly_v to_o club_n and_o stock_n and_o prison_n and_o fine_n and_o trap_n and_o snare_n and_o such_o like_a carnal_a weapon_n for_o help_v and_o so_o instead_o of_o lay_v their_o spiritual_a weapon_n to_o the_o conscience_n they_o use_v carnal_a weapon_n against_o the_o body_n and_o life_n and_o outward_a be_v of_o people_n and_o disturb_v and_o disquiet_v their_o outward_a life_n 11._o therefore_o last_o consider_v the_o end_n of_o persecutor_n they_o put_v the_o innocent_a to_o trouble_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o righteous_a thing_n with_o god_n to_o render_v tribulation_n to_o they_o again_o god_n be_v please_v now_o and_o then_o to_o give_v manifest_a example_n of_o his_o justice_n upon_o person_n that_o wrong_v and_o harm_v other_o to_o let_v the_o earth_n see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o revenger_n of_o wrong_n that_o take_v notice_n and_o this_o he_o do_v often_o for_o one_o wicked_a man_n against_o another_o how_o much_o more_o than_o will_v he_o avenge_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o innocent_a who_o the_o world_n have_v nothing_o against_o because_o their_o life_n be_v honest_a and_o unblameable_a but_o only_o create_v accusation_n and_o trap_n against_o they_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o god_n as_o nebuchadnezar_n prince_n and_o counsellor_n do_v against_o daniel_n i_o tell_v you_o he_o will_v avenge_v they_o speedy_o say_v christ_n jesus_n shall_v they_o subject_v their_o

sure_o their_o judgement_n slumber_v not_o who_o shall_v so_o abuse_v the_o heritage_n of_o god_n and_o usurp_v his_o throne_n to_o sit_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o his_o servant_n for_o

and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o late_a long_a war_n in_o england_n let_v wise_a man_n consider_v as_o also_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o desolate_v of_o that_o people_n
