the_o great_a question_n to_o be_v consider_v by_o the_o king_n and_o this_o approach_a parliament_n brief_o propose_v and_o modest_o discuss_v to_o wit_n how_o far_o religion_n be_v concern_v in_o

will_v end_v in_o a_o natural_a cool_a or_o prove_v a_o distemper_n yet_o more_o dangerous_a and_o deadly_a and_o true_o at_o this_o time_n we_o be_v so_o far_o happy_a that_o though_o the_o evil_n be_v great_a which_o threaten_v we_o yet_o the_o cause_n thereof_o be_v very_o manifest_a so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o put_v to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o a_o uncertain_a search_n in_o that_o matter_n we_o see_v all_o this_o trouble_n proceed_v from_o a_o pretence_n of_o religion_n and_o opinion_n that_o man_n have_v drink_v in_o that_o for_o and_o because_o of_o religion_n they_o ought_v to_o concern_v themselves_o in_o the_o civil_a government_n of_o the_o nation_n yea_o so_o far_o as_o to_o overturn_v it_o if_o otherwise_o the_o advancement_n of_o their_o religion_n can_v be_v procure_v

people_n that_o if_o possible_a such_o principle_n may_v be_v pitch_v upon_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o christianity_n and_o to_o the_o sound_a principle_n of_o government_n by_o which_o man_n may_v be_v possess_v with_o a_o faith_n that_o christianity_n do_v not_o oblige_v they_o to_o meddle_v in_o government_n and_o reciprocal_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o quiet_v in_o that_o belief_n that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o to_o concern_v himself_o in_o their_o conscience_n so_o that_o in_o this_o mutual_a assurance_n the_o magistrate_n may_v rule_v secure_o and_o

the_o best_a of_o their_o knowledge_n without_o fear_v prejudice_n from_o the_o magistrate_n therefore_o and_o true_o it_o can_v but_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o happy_a nation_n where_o this_o be_v full_o fix_v and_o the_o establish_n of_o such_o principle_n seem_v the_o less_o difficult_a that_o in_o the_o pure_a time_n of_o christianity_n so_o repute_v by_o all_o the_o
