Or, A treatise against toleration and pretended liberty of conscience: wherein by Scripture, sound reason, fathers, schoolmen, casuists, Protestant divines of all nations, confessions of faith of the Reformed Churches, ecclesiastical histories, and constant practice of the most pious and wisest emperours, princes, states, the best writers of politicks, the experience of all ages; yea, by divers principles, testimonies and proceedings of sectaries themselves, as Donatists, Anabaptists, Brownists, Independents, the unlawfulnesse and mischeif [sic] in Christian commonwealths and kingdoms both of a vniversal toleration of all religions and consciences, and of a limited and bounded of some sects only, are clearly proved and demonstrated, with all the materiall grounds and reasons brought for such tolerations fully answered. / By Thomas Edvvards, Minister of the Gospel.

&c_n that_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n to_o show_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o magistrate_n punish_v heretic_n because_o hagiom_n confess_v the_o same_o of_o the_o church_n that_o christ_n charge_v not_o

that_o no_o church_n censure_n may_v be_v use_v against_o any_o heretic_n however_o i_o be_o sure_a many_o of_o his_o compeer_n in_o handle_v the_o question_n distinguish_v of_o a_o toleration_n and_o

for_o not_o proceed_v against_o the_o sadducee_n be_v no_o good_a argument_n to_o take_v away_o all_o church_n censure_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o lay_v waste_v all_o magistrate_n punish_v in_o such_o case_n 3._o christ_n do_v to_o the_o scribe_n pharisee_n &_o sadducee_n speak_v and_o reason_n against_o their_o error_n yea_o reprove_v and_o threaten_v they_o for_o those_o error_n which_o also_o be_v grant_v by_o hagiomastix_n in_o do_v of_o which_o he_o do_v equivalent_o and_o real_o press_v upon_o they_o the_o suppress_n and_o punish_v of_o heresy_n in_o person_n under_o their_o power_n whilst_o he_o speak_v to_o man_n in_o authority_n and_o denounce_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n because_o of_o they_o he_o that_o preach_v to_o a_o prince_n against_o idolatry_n and_o show_v the_o

he_o not_o to_o suffer_v any_o man_n to_o practice_n idolatry_n and_o therefore_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n the_o ruler_n and_o elder_n that_o know_v the_o law_n of_o god_n how_o magistrate_n in_o israel_n be_v to_o punish_v false_a teacher_n in_o speak_v so_o against_o false_a prophet_n heretic_n and_o sectary_n as_o sadducee_n &c_n &c_n that_o be_v a_o charge_v they_o
