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.

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 romish_a priest_n then_o to_o pick_v the_o pocket_n of_o the_o people_n in_o ordine_fw-la ad_fw-la spiritualla_fw-la and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o who_o do_v impose_v any_o thing_n upon_o the_o people_n under_o the_o species_n of_o religion_n will_v not_o leave_v they_o a_o power_n to_o judge_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o order_n to_o it_o or_o no._n for_o if_o they_o be_v 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

be_v reply_v that_o in_o the_o thought_n of_o very_a many_o man_n their_o spiritual_a liberty_n be_v as_o considerable_a as_o part_v of_o their_o civil_a so_o that_o the_o total_a destroyer_n of_o spiritual_a liberty_n show_v that_o part_n of_o the_o civil_a be_v at_o their_o mercy_n and_o if_o they_o be_v able_a to_o take_v away_o one_o part_n of_o man_n civil_a liberty_n they_o be_v by_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
