it_o when_o i_o leave_v they_o those_o among_o they_o that_o have_v not_o receive_v our_o religion_n yet_o do_v not_o fright_v any_o from_o it_o and_o use_v none_o ill_o that_o go_v over_o to_o it_o

the_o first_o constitution_n of_o their_o government_n vtopus_n have_v understand_v that_o before_o his_o come_n among_o they_o the_o old_a inhabitans_fw-la have_v be_v engage_v in_o grtat_fw-la quarrel_n concern_v religion_n by_o which_o they_o be_v so_o break_v among_o themselves_o that_o he_o find_v it_o a_o easy_a thing_n to_o conquer_v they_o since_o they_o do_v not_o unite_v their_o force_n against_o he_o but_o every_o different_a party_n in_o religion_n fight_v by_o themselves_o upon_o that_o after_o he_o have_v subdue_v they_o he_o make_v a_o law_n that_o every_o man_n may_v

peace_n which_o he_o see_v suffer_v much_o by_o daily_a contention_n and_o irreconcilable_a heat_n in_o these_o matter_n but_o because_o he_o think_v the_o interest_n of_o religion_n itself_o require_v it_o he_o judge_v it_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o determine_v any_o thing_n rash_o in_o that_o matter_n and_o seem_v to_o doubt_v whether_o those_o different_a form_n of_o religion_n may_v not_o all_o come_v from_o god_n who_o may_v inspire_v man_n different_o he_o be_v possible_o please_v with_o a_o variety_n in_o it_o and_o so_o he_o think_v it_o be_v a_o very_a indecent_a and_o foolish_a thing_n for_o any_o man_n to_o frighten_v and_o threaten_v other_o man_n to_o believe_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o seem_v true_a to_o he_o and_o in_o case_n that_o one_o religion_n be_v certain_o true_a and_o all_o the_o rest_n false_a he_o reckon_v that_o the_o native_a force_n of_o truth_n will_v break_v forth_o at_o last_o and_o shine_v bright_a if_o it_o be_v manage_v only_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o argument_n and_o with_o a_o win_a gentleness_n whereas_o if_o such_o matter_n be_v carry_v on_o by_o violence_n and_o tumult_n then_o as_o the_o wicked_a sort_n of_o man_n be_v always_o the_o most_o obstinate_a so_o the_o holy_a and_o best_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v overlay_v with_o so_o much_o foolish_a superstition_n that_o it_o will_v be_v quite_o choke_v with_o it_o as_o corn_n be_v with_o briar_n and_o thorn_n therefore_o he_o leave_v man_n whole_o to_o their_o liberty_n in_o this_o matter_n that_o they_o may_v be_v free_a to_o believe_v as_o they_o shall_v see_v cause_n only_o he_o make_v a_o solemn_a and_o severe_a law_n against_o such_o as_o shall_v so_o far_o degenerate_a from_o the_o dignity_n of_o humane_a nature_n as_o to_o think_v that_o our_o soul_n die_v with_o our_o body_n or_o that_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v by_o chance_n without_o a_o wise_a overrule_a providence_n for_o they_o do_v all_o former_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n to_o the_o good_a and_o bad_a after_o this_o life_n and_o they_o look_v on_o those_o that_o think_v otherwise_o as_o scarce_o fit_a to_o be_v count_v man_n since_o they_o degrade_v so_o noble_a a_o be_v as_o our_o soul_n be_v and_o reckon_v it_o to_o be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o beast_n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o look_v on_o such_o man_n as_o fit_v for_o humane_a society_n or_o to_o be_v citizen_n of_o a_o well-ordered_a commonwealth_n since_o a_o man_n of_o such_o principle_n must_v needs_o as_o oft_o as_o he_o dare_v do_v it_o despise_v all_o their_o law_n and_o custom_n for_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v make_v that_o a_o man_n who_o be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o but_o the_o law_n and_o apprehend_v nothing_o after_o death_n will_v not_o stand_v to_o break_v through_o all_o the_o law_n of_o his_o country_n either_o by_o fraud_n or_o force_n that_o so_o he_o may_v satisfy_v his_o appetite_n they_o never_o raise_v any_o that_o

not_o punish_v they_o because_o they_o lie_v this_o down_o for_o a_o ground_n that_o a_o man_n can_v make_v himself_o believe_v any_o thing_n he_o please_v nor_o do_v they_o drive_v any_o to_o dissemble_v their_o thought_n by_o threaten_n so_o that_o man_n be_v not_o tempt_v to_o lie_v or_o disguise_v their_o opinion_n among_o they_o which_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o fraud_n be_v abhor_v by_o the_o vtopian_o they_o take_v indeed_o care_v that_o they_o may_v not_o argue_v for_o these_o opinion_n especial_o before_o the_o common_a people_n but_o they_o do_v suffer_v and_o even_o encourage_v they_o to_o dispute_v concern_v they_o in_o private_a with_o their_o priest_n and_o and_o other_o grave_a man_n be_v confident_a that_o they_o will_v be_v cure_v of_o those_o mad_a opinion_n by_o

and_o therefore_o be_v not_o at_o all_o discourage_v they_o think_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n be_v immortal_a though_o far_o inferior_a to_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o humane_a soul_n and_o

though_o they_o be_v compassionate_a to_o all_o that_o be_v sick_a yet_o they_o lament_v no_o man_n death_n except_o they_o see_v he_o part_v with_o life_n uneasy_a and_o as_o if_o he_o be_v force_v to_o it_o for_o they_o look_v on_o this_o as_o a_o very_a ill_a persage_n as_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v conscious_a to_o itself_o of_o gild_n and_o quite_o hopeless_a be_v afraid_a to_o die_v from_o
