a_o proposal_n humble_o offer_v for_o the_o farm_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n print_a in_o the_o year_n 1663._o a_o proposal_n humble_o offer_v for_o the_o farm_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n since_o nothing_o can_v be_v dear_a unto_o poor_a christian_n than_o liberty_n or_o the_o free_a exercise_n of_o their_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n which_o have_v kindle_v that_o

great_a burden_n upon_o our_o tender_a conscience_n than_o the_o loin_n of_o episcopacy_n we_o be_v more_o bind_v in_o honour_n than_o conscience_n can_v total_o desist_v neither_o need_v any_o man_n
