they_o let_v we_o therefore_o calm_o consider_v what_o reason_n or_o ground_n there_o be_v for_o the_o mighty_a outcry_n that_o there_o be_v among_o some_o man_n against_o toleration_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o if_o all_o be_v lose_v and_o religion_n undo_v because_o man_n be_v not_o still_o compel_v by_o outward_a force_n one_o thing_n must_v needs_o seem_v strange_a and_o amaze_a to_o every_o consider_v man_n namely_o to_o hear_v the_o same_o person_n inveigh_v against_o the_o french_a king_n for_o execute_v the_o penal_a law_n against_o dissenter_n in_o france_n and_o against_o their_o own_o king_n for_o suspend_v the_o penal_a law_n against_o dissenter_n in_o his_o dominion_n against_o that_o king_n for_o persecute_v his_o subject_n and_o against_o this_o king_n for_o not_o persecute_v his_o so_o st._n john_n baptist_n come_v neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v and_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n say_v behold_v he_o have_v a_o devil_n the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o they_o say_v behold_v a_o man_n gluttonous_a and_o a_o wine-bibe_a a_o friend_n to_o publican_n and_o sinner_n whereas_o indeed_o neither_o be_v our_o saviour_n any_o otherwise_o a_o friend_n to_o publican_n and_o sinner_n then_o in_o his_o design_n to_o save_v they_o nor_o have_v john_n baptist_n a_o devil_n but_o sure_o they_o who_o nothing_o will_v please_v be_v possess_v with_o a_o strange_a tetchy_a and_o froward_a evil_a spirit_n and_o what_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o his_o two_o disciple_n may_v right_o be_v apply_v to_o they_o they_o know_v not_o what_o manner_n of_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o however_o they_o seem_v not_o to_o consider_v what_o meekness_n the_o gospel_n enjoin_v by_o what_o meekness_n it_o at_o first_o stand_v and_o prevail_v they_o seem_v not_o to_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o power_n which_o christ_n put_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o church_n which_o extend_v only_o to_o teach_v exhort_v rebuke_v administer_a sacrament_n and_o excommunicate_v and_o that_o when_o outward_a force_n have_v be_v make_v use_n of_o it_o proceed_v whole_o from_o the_o temporal_a authority_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o this_o authority_n to_o inflict_v or_o not_o to_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n but_o now_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v be_v ready_a here_o to_o object_n that_o while_o i_o discourse_v thus_o i_o seem_v to_o forget_v two_o main_a thing_n which_o particularize_v our_o circumstance_n namely_o one_a how_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v please_v to_o engage_v himself_o to_o protect_v the_o present_a establish_a church_n of_o england_n 2_o what_o the_o particular_a constitution_n of_o government_n be_v in_o these_o kingdom_n under_o his_o majesty_n and_o though_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o give_v satisfaction_n as_o to_o these_o two_o particular_n yet_o in_o the_o residue_n of_o my_o discourse_n i_o will_v brief_o say_v something_o more_o to_o each_o and_o first_o as_o to_o the_o king_n have_v engage_v himself_o to_o protect_v the_o present_a establish_v church_n the_o church_n may_v be_v protect_v and_o effectual_o too_o though_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n inflict_v not_o temporal_a punishment_n upon_o those_o that_o dissent_n from_o she_o for_o dissent_v his_o majesty_n protect_v she_o and_o maintain_v she_o as_o he_o say_v in_o his_o gracious_a declaration_n in_o the_o free_a exercise_n of_o her_o religion_n as_o by_o law_n establish_v and_o in_o the_o quiet_a and_o full_a enjoyment_n of_o all_o her_o possession_n without_o any_o molestation_n or_o disturbance_n whatsoever_o how_o happy_a will_v the_o primitive_a christian_n have_v think_v themselves_o may_v they_o have_v have_v such_o protection_n nay_o it_o be_v considerable_a that_o it_o seem_v not_o improbable_a that_o take_v away_o the_o smart_n of_o penal_a law_n from_o a_o church_n adversary_n may_v make_v that_o church_n more_o safe_a because_o it_o may_v make_v they_o less_o industrious_a to_o destroy_v she_o since_o they_o find_v themselves_o undisturbed_a by_o her_o stand_n and_o be_v not_o therefore_o vex_v into_o conspiracy_n against_o she_o and_o then_o second_o as_o to_o the_o present_a church_n particular_a constitution_n in_o this_o kingdom_n they_o seem_v to_o recognize_v a_o right_n in_o the_o civil_a power_n and_o particular_o in_o the_o king_n to_o determine_v at_o least_o in_o exterior_n and_o therefore_o when_o penal_a law_n be_v to_o be_v execute_v for_o the_o first_o canon_n say_v that_o 1._o canon_n 1._o the_o king_n power_n within_o his_o realm_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n and_o all_o other_o his_o dominion_n and_o country_n be_v the_o high_a power_n under_o god_n to_o who_o all_o man_n as_o well_o

canon_n own_v to_o be_v in_o the_o king_n of_o england_n i_o beg_v leave_v therefore_o humble_o to_o advertise_v those_o man_n of_o this_o church_n who_o be_v dissatisfy_v with_o his_o majesty_n

doubtless_o the_o action_n and_o expression_n very_o indiscreet_a to_o give_v they_o no_o worse_o epithet_n which_o some_o man_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o and_o which_o they_o have_v be_v hurry_v
