A26073	A seasonable discourse against toleration with a preface wherein the nature of persecution in general and the unjust complaints of the dissenting parties concerning it in particular are distinctly considered.	Assheton, William, 1641-1711.	1685 (1685)	Wing A4041; ESTC R23636	62,270	115

out_o fit_a &_o proper_a law_n for_o advancement_n of_o trade_n and_o commerce_n after_o all_o this_o we_o most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o majesty_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v with_o extreme_a unwillingness_n and_o reluctancy_n of_o heart_n that_o we_o be_v bring_v to_o differ_v from_o any_o thing_n which_o your_o majesty_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o propose_v and_o though_o we_o do_v no_o way_n doubt_v but_o that_o the_o unreasonable_a distemper_n of_o man_n spirit_n and_o the_o many_o mutiny_n and_o conspiracy_n which_o be_v carry_v on_o during_o the_o late_a intervall_n of_o parliament_n do_v reasonable_o incline_v your_o majesty_n to_o endeavour_v by_o your_o declaration_n to_o give_v some_o allay_n to_o those_o ill_a humour_n till_o the_o parliament_n assemble_v and_o the_o hope_n of_o indulgence_n if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v consent_v to_o it_o especial_o see_v the_o pretender_n to_o this_o indulgence_n do_v seem_v to_o make_v some_o title_n to_o it_o by_o virtue_n of_o your_o majesty_n declaration_n from_o breda_n nevertheless_o we_o your_o majesty_n most_o dutiful_a and_o loyal_a subject_n who_o be_v now_o return_v to_o serve_v in_o parliament_n from_o those_o several_a part_n and_o place_n of_o your_o kingdom_n for_o which_o we_o be_v choose_v do_v humble_o offer_v to_o your_o majesty_n great_a wisdom_n that_o it_o be_v in_o no_o sort_n advisable_v that_o there_o be_v any_o indulgence_n to_o such_o person_n who_o presume_v to_o dissent_v from_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n and_o the_o religion_n establish_v for_o these_o reason_n we_o have_v consider_v the_o nature_n of_o your_o majesty_n declaration_n from_o breda_n and_o be_v humble_o of_o opinion_n that_o your_o majesty_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v press_v with_o it_o any_o far_a because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o promise_n in_o itself_o but_o only_o a_o gracious_a declaration_n of_o your_o majesty_n intention_n to_o do_v what_o in_o you_o lay_v and_o what_o a_o parliament_n shall_v advise_v your_o majesty_n to_o do_v and_o no_o such_o advice_n be_v ever_o give_v or_o think_v fit_a to_o be_v offer_v nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o understand_v because_o there_o be_v law_n of_o uniformity_n then_o in_o be_v which_o can_v not_o be_v dispense_v with_o but_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n they_o who_o do_v pretend_v a_o right_a to_o that_o suppose_a promise_n put_v the_o right_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o representatives_n who_o they_o choose_v to_o serve_v for_o they_o in_o this_o parliament_n who_o have_v pass_v and_o your_o majesty_n consent_v to_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n if_o any_o shall_v presume_v to_o say_v that_o a_o right_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o this_o declaration_n do_v still_o remain_v after_o this_o act_n pass_v it_o tend_v to_o dissolve_v the_o very_a bond_n of_o government_n and_o to_o suppose_v a_o disability_n in_o your_o majesty_n and_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n to_o make_v a_o law_n contrary_n to_o any_o part_n of_o your_o majesty_n declaration_n though_o both_o house_n shall_v advise_v your_o majesty_n to_o it_o we_o have_v also_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o indulgence_n propose_v with_o reference_n to_o those_o consequence_n which_o must_v necessary_o attend_v it_o it_o will_v establish_v schism_n by_o a_o law_n and_o make_v the_o whole_a government_n of_o the_o church_n precarious_a and_o the_o censure_n of_o it_o of_o no_o moment_n or_o consideration_n at_o all_o it_o will_v no_o way_n become_v the_o gravity_n or_o wisdom_n of_o a_o parliament_n to_o pass_v a_o law_n at_o one_o session_n for_o uniformity_n and_o at_o the_o next_o session_n the_o reason_n of_o uniformity_n continue_v still_o the_o same_o to_o pass_v another_o law_n to_o frustrate_v or_o weaken_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o it_o will_v expose_v your_o majesty_n to_o the_o restless_a importunity_n of_o every_o sect_n or_o opinion_n and_o of_o every_o single_a person_n also_o who_o shall_v presume_v to_o dissent_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o will_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o increase_a sect_n and_o sectary_n who_o number_n will_v weaken_v the_o true_a protestant_a profession_n so_o far_o that_o it_o will_v at_o least_o be_v difficult_a for_o it_o to_o defend_v itself_o against_o they_o and_o which_o be_v yet_o far_a considerable_a those_o number_n which_o by_o be_v troublesome_a to_o the_o government_n find_v they_o can_v arrive_v to_o a_o indulgence_n will_v as_o their_o number_n increase_v be_v yet_o more_o troublesome_a that_o so_o at_o length_n they_o may_v arrive_v to_o a_o general_a toleration_n which_o your_o majesty_n have_v declare_v against_o and_o in_o time_n some_o prevalent_a sect_n will_v at_o last_o contend_v for_o a_o establishment_n which_o for_o aught_o can_v be_v foresee_v may_v end_v in_o popery_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o without_o precedent_n and_o will_v take_v away_o all_o mean_n of_o convict_a recusant_n and_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o method_n and_o proceed_n of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n last_o it_o be_v humble_o conceive_v that_o the_o indulgence_n propose_v will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o tend_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o it_o be_v rather_o likely_a to_o occasion_v great_a disturbance_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o the_o assert_v of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o religion_n establish_v according_a to_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n be_v the_o most_o probable_a mean_n to_o produce_v a_o settle_a peace_n and_o obedience_n throughout_o your_o kingdom_n because_o the_o variety_n of_o profession_n in_o religion_n when_o open_o divulge_v do_v direct_o distinguish_v man_n into_o party_n and_o withal_o give_v they_o opportunity_n to_o count_v their_o number_n which_o consider_v the_o animosity_n that_o out_o of_o a_o religious_a pride_n will_v be_v keep_v on_o foot_n by_o the_o several_a faction_n do_v tend_v direct_o and_o inevitable_o to_o open_a disturbance_n nor_o can_v your_o majesty_n have_v any_o security_n that_o the_o doctrine_n or_o worship_n of_o the_o several_a faction_n which_o be_v all_o govern_v by_o a_o several_a rule_n shall_v be_v consistent_a with_o the_o peace_n of_o your_o kingdom_n and_o if_o any_o person_n shall_v presume_v to_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n we_o do_v in_o all_o humility_n declare_v that_o we_o will_v for_o ever_o and_o in_o all_o occasion_n be_v ready_a with_o our_o utmost_a endeavour_n and_o assistance_n to_o adhere_v to_o and_o serve_v your_o majesty_n according_a to_o our_o bind_a duty_n and_o allegiance_n
