either_o to_o observe_v the_o law_n themselves_o or_o to_o require_v it_o of_o other_o if_o these_o be_v the_o man_n of_o moderate_a opinion_n i_o wonder_v how_o they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o give_v

the_o best_a minister_n of_o peace_n but_o i_o leave_v they_o and_o come_v to_o the_o most_o popular_a and_o therefore_o most_o dangerous_a principle_n in_o the_o study_n of_o quiet_a that_o be_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n i_o have_v speak_v to_o this_o point_n heretofore_o in_o this_o place_n yet_o because_o of_o late_a our_o new_a philosophical_a divine_n as_o well_o as_o other_o press_v hard_o for_o it_o know_v without_o a_o free_a market_n they_o can_v vend_fw-mi their_o new_a bold_a speculation_n i_o shall_v resume_v the_o point_n again_o a_o little_a more_o large_o yet_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o these_o two_o particular_n first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o restrain_v the_o conscience_n and_o second_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o give_v it_o liberty_n 1._o there_o be_v reason_n enough_o to_o restrain_v the_o conscience_n for_o the_o mischief_n it_o do_v to_o quiet_a when_o it_o be_v at_o liberty_n for_o all_o the_o discord_n and_o division_n of_o the_o church_n grow_v from_o hence_o and_o that_o be_v a_o mischief_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o avoid_v mark_v they_o say_v s._n 17._o paul_n which_o cause_n division_n among_o you_o and_o avoid_v they_o there_o be_v reason_n then_o to_o mark_v that_o which_o cause_v they_o to_o make_v division_n and_o that_o be_v the_o conscience_n it_o be_v no_o quietter_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n where_o it_o destroy_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o government_n and_o frustrate_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o it_o in_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n for_o what_o be_v leave_v for_o they_o to_o do_v if_o every_o one_o must_v follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n that_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n be_v bind_v only_o to_o obey_v himself_o this_o be_v no_o slander_n to_o the_o pretender_n of_o conscience_n they_o will_v say_v as_o much_o themselves_o if_o you_o ask_v they_o ask_v the_o schismatic_a why_o he_o join_v not_o with_o the_o congregation_n of_o god_n people_n and_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o his_o conscience_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o ask_v the_o rebel_n in_o the_o state_n why_o he_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o king_n and_o country_n and_o his_o conscience_n will_v answer_v for_o he_o that_o it_o be_v god_n cause_n and_o it_o be_v to_o do_v he_o service_n ask_v he_o again_o why_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v of_o the_o mischief_n do_v by_o it_o for_o that_o they_o seldom_o do_v and_o the_o conscience_n will_v serve_v that_o turn_n too_o it_o be_v god_n cause_n and_o the_o conscience_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o repent_v of_o that_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o conscience_n as_o it_o be_v use_v do_v not_o only_o open_v a_o door_n to_o sin_n but_o shut_v the_o very_a door_n to_o mercy_n that_o be_v repentance_n if_o s._n john_n say_v true_a as_o no_o doubt_n he_o do_v that_o there_o be_v many_o antichrist_n then_o possible_o the_o conscience_n thus_o improve_v may_v be_v one_o of_o they_o for_o it_o set_v itself_o in_o the_o church_n above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n yea_o and_o god_n himself_o too_o in_o a_o sense_n for_o his_o law_n be_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v unless_o the_o conscience_n first_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v his_o and_o thus_o all_o be_v resolve_v into_o the_o conscience_n as_o the_o dernier_fw-fr resort_n and_o last_o appeal_n while_o the_o king_n and_o the_o
