A52357	The true liberty & dominion of conscience vindicated, from the usurpations & abuses of opinion, and persuasion	Nalson, John, 1638?-1686.	1677 (1677)	Wing N117; ESTC R19982	50,790	152

god_n glory_n and_o the_o truth_n act_n contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n but_o if_o at_o the_o last_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v that_o they_o have_v not_o be_v manage_v by_o conscience_n but_o opinion_n and_o persuasion_n what_o can_v they_o expect_v but_o the_o great_a severity_n and_o insufferable_a torment_n and_o agony_n of_o conscience_n the_o worm_n that_o never_o die_v which_o shall_v put_v all_o man_n upon_o a_o strict_a examination_n of_o themselves_o especial_o those_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v so_o much_o manage_v by_o conscience_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o true_a and_o good_a conscience_n or_o only_o these_o deceiver_n and_o usurper_n opinion_n and_o persuasion_n second_o it_o follow_v that_o indifferent_a thing_n in_o religious_a worship_n lay_v no_o further_a obligation_n upon_o man_n conscience_n than_o as_o they_o conduce_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o a_o lawful_a authority_n have_v a_o power_n to_o put_v a_o final_a determination_n upon_o every_o man_n private_a judgement_n and_o opinion_n by_o declare_v which_o of_o all_o these_o indifferent_a thing_n they_o judge_v most_o conducive_a to_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o happiness_n of_o all_o those_o under_o their_o jurisdiction_n by_o promote_a and_o preserve_a peace_n unity_n and_o charity_n therefore_o that_o all_o person_n who_o live_v under_o their_o authority_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o submit_v to_o those_o determination_n and_o from_o thenceforward_a to_o esteem_v that_o which_o before_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a to_o become_v necessary_a because_o hereby_o many_o know_a duty_n and_o particular_o that_o of_o obedience_n to_o magistrate_n without_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o happiness_n on_o earth_n be_v perform_v to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o a_o absolute_a and_o indispensible_a obligation_n of_o conscience_n last_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o promote_v and_o endeavour_v the_o well-being_n of_o the_o lawful_a government_n under_o which_o they_o live_v and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v the_o happiness_n of_o all_o mankind_n even_o here_o in_o this_o life_n nor_o can_v they_o follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o true_a religion_n or_o conscience_n whatever_o they_o may_v pretend_v or_o imagine_v who_o for_o their_o private_a opinion_n make_v party_n break_v law_n despise_v government_n give_v disturbance_n to_o the_o peace_n and_o security_n of_o their_o native_a country_n at_o home_n and_o by_o promote_a faction_n dissension_n and_o division_n give_v encouragement_n to_o our_o enemy_n abroad_o and_o by_o too_o just_a fear_n from_o what_o have_v be_v of_o what_o may_v be_v again_o by_o the_o same_o way_n and_o artifices_fw-la to_o make_v man_n mind_n uneasy_a and_o their_o life_n unhappy_a and_o shall_v their_o design_n succeed_v a_o second_o time_n to_o involve_v so_o many_o million_o in_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n confusion_n ruin_n and_o desolation_n these_o have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o proper_a effect_n of_o disobedience_n to_o law_n and_o lawful_a authority_n and_o let_v all_o dissenter_n look_v well_o to_o it_o for_o they_o will_v find_v here_o be_v no_o conscience_n no_o religion_n to_o be_v find_v in_o such_o way_n and_o end_n to_o which_o their_o separation_n and_o division_n do_v most_o infallible_o lead_v they_o i_o wish_v i_o can_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n with_o the_o most_o persuasive_a argument_n and_o irresistible_a reason_n that_o all_o christian_a people_n and_o especial_o those_o dissenter_n of_o these_o nation_n will_v serious_o consider_v with_o themselves_o whether_o these_o discord_n and_o difference_n about_o religious_a affair_n will_v in_o the_o end_n lead_v they_o and_o in_o time_n turn_v back_o again_o before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o dismal_a brink_n of_o those_o precipice_n misery_n here_o and_o damnation_n hereafter_o which_o when_o by_o a_o too_o late_a repentance_n they_o will_v avoid_v they_o will_v not_o be_v able_a i_o wish_v they_o will_v no_o long_o abuse_v that_o glorious_a name_n of_o conscience_n to_o countenance_v those_o irreligious_a practice_n of_o disobedience_n uncharitableness_n dissension_n and_o separation_n let_v they_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v in_o this_o world_n that_o be_v most_o desirable_a and_o whether_o they_o do_v not_o act_v point_n blank_a contrary_n to_o their_o own_o interest_n and_o happiness_n both_o here_o and_o hereafter_o and_o direct_o against_o the_o public_a good_a of_o the_o community_n of_o which_o they_o be_v member_n and_o whether_o they_o may_v not_o just_o fear_v that_o by_o these_o dangerous_a and_o unlawful_a practice_n they_o shall_v so_o far_o exasperate_v authority_n as_o to_o exercise_v its_o utmostrigor_n and_o severity_n upon_o they_o as_o be_v out_o of_o all_o hope_n to_o reclaim_v they_o by_o gentle_a mean_n and_o just_o jealous_a of_o their_o malicious_a secret_a and_o ill_a design_n in_o reality_n against_o the_o state_n though_o the_o pretence_n be_v only_o against_o the_o present_a church_n and_o its_o government_n let_v they_o consider_v that_o if_o they_o desire_v to_o have_v peace_n within_o their_o private_a wall_n and_o plenteousness_n within_o their_o stately_a palace_n if_o they_o desire_v to_o enjoy_v quiet_a of_o mind_n at_o home_n tranquillity_n peace_n and_o unity_n one_o among_o another_o that_o justice_n shall_v run_v down_o as_o a_o river_n and_o righteousness_n we_o a_o mighty_a stream_n that_o

this_o common_a bond_n and_o indissoluble_a chain_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o all_o man_n which_o will_v teach_v every_o man_n his_o duty_n keep_v every_o man_n quiet_o
