A54417	Samaritanism, or, A treatise of comprehending, compounding and tolerating several religions in one church demonstrating the equity, and necessity of the act and late vote of Parliament against non-conformists, from reason, the ancient church, and the opinions and practice of papists and Puritans now plotting and pleading for toleration.

vain_a and_o foolish_a to_o talk_v of_o moderation_n or_o extreme_a for_o have_v our_o ancestor_n hold_v only_o to_o that_o kind_n of_o trial_n and_o accommodate_v difference_n either_o in_o state_n or_o church_n we_o have_v have_v neither_o justice_n nor_o religion_n to_o strive_v or_o contend_v about_o at_o present_a or_o at_o least_o that_o far_o from_o the_o true_a for_o first_o judaisme_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o mean_a between_o mahometism_n and_o christianism_n popery_n a_o mean_a between_o judaisme_n and_o socinianism_n again_o the_o reformation_n a_o mean_a between_o papism_n and_o socinianism_n and_o the_o english_a reformation_n a_o mean_a between_o popery_n and_o puritanism_n and_o if_o we_o must_v be_v force_v to_o far_a moderation_n still_o independency_n will_v be_v find_v a_o mean_a between_o presbyterism_n and_o episcopal_a government_n as_o presbyterism_n be_v a_o mean_a between_o episcopacy_n and_o independency_n and_o independency_n a_o mean_a between_o presbytery_n and_o anabaptism_n and_o anabaptism_n a_o mean_a between_o independency_n and_o quakerism_n and_o so_o on_o till_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o invent_v no_o more_o

and_o when_o that_o shall_v be_v pitch_v on_o and_o choose_v upon_o what_o account_n and_o ground_n must_v it_o not_o be_v rather_o because_o of_o some_o special_a virtue_n proper_a to_o it_o as_o
