A91881	John the Baptist, forerunner of Christ Iesvs: or, A necessity for liberty of conscience, as the only meanes under heaven to strengthen children weake in faith; to convince hereticks mis-led in faith; to discover the gospel to all such as yet never heard thereof; and establish peace betweene all states and people throughout the world; according unto which, were both our Saviours commission, and the apostles practice for the propagation of it peaceably: as appeares most evidently by sundry Scriptures digested into chapters, with some observations at the end of every one; most humbly devoted to the use and benefit of all such as are zealously inquisitive after truth; piously disposed to imbrace it, and constantly resolved to practice it in their lives and conversations; to the honour of God, the edifying of their brethren, and their owne salvation unto eternity. The contents of the chapters follow in the next leaf. This is licenced, but not permitted to be entred according to order.

upon_o trust_n but_o inform_v himself_o full_o of_o they_o all_o and_o at_o last_o fix_v upon_o one_o most_n man_n may_v now_o say_v that_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o natural_a propensity_n to_o evil_a

more_o agreeabel_n to_o common_a sense_n will_v easy_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o in_o the_o first_o a_o man_n be_v certain_a the_o truth_n be_v present_a and_o certain_a to_o hear_v what_o the_o truth_n can_v say_v for_o itself_o but_o in_o the_o other_o there_o be_v no_o certainty_n of_o either_o and_o yet_o it_o must_v be_v accept_v at_o adventure_n without_o examination_n or_o

will_v follow_v that_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v proffer_v unto_o all_o nation_n and_o to_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o every_o particular_a man_n power_n to_o

before_o he_o some_o of_o they_o even_o at_o first_o sight_n and_o hear_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o that_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v persecute_v to_o death_n in_o

have_v be_v tender_v unto_o paul_n in_o such_o a_o way_n of_o sufficiency_n for_o convert_v all_o man_n that_o be_v willing_a to_o use_v mean_n as_o doubtless_o it_o be_v tender_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o it_o be_v unto_o other_o primitive_a christian_n than_o paul_n can_v not_o have_v excuse_v himself_o and_o say_v he_o persecute_v the_o saint_n ignorant_o and_o that_o therefore_o the_o lord_n show_v mercy_fw-mi on_o he_o 1_o tim._n 1.13_o but_o he_o will_v rather_o have_v aggravate_v his_o own_o obstinacy_n and_o sin_v against_o his_o conscience_n so_o much_o more_o magnify_v god_n excessive_a goodness_n in_o his_o pardon_n but_o what_o do_v these_o persecuter_n gain_v or_o how_o do_v they_o extenuate_v their_o own_o fault_n or_o not_o justify_v the_o turk_n and_o papist_n in_o the_o same_o by_o say_v they_o reject_v and_o punish_v only_o such_o as_o sin_n against_o their_o own_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n do_v not_o even_a papist_n profess_v the_o like_a i_o have_v know_v some_o keep_v in_o their_o inquisition_n for_o year_n together_o nay_o so_o many_o year_n as_o we_o count_v a_o term_n of_o three_o or_o four_o life_n and_o yet_o suffer_v they_o to_o die_v a_o natural_a death_n at_o last_o in_o prison_n because_o they_o will_v not_o conform_v and_o the_o inquisitor_n think_v they_o not_o sufficient_o sin_v against_o their_o own_o conscience_n to_o lofe_z their_o life_n before_o hand_n by_o the_o hangman_n but_o you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o that_o papist_n or_o other_o heretic_n can_v just_o pretend_v to_o have_v proffer_v the_o truth_n in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o may_v infallible_o convince_v all_o such_o as_o be_v not_o obstinate_a but_o willing_a to_o receive_v it_o because_o they_o can_v tender_v that_o truth_n to_o other_o which_o they_o themselves_o have_v not_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o bear_v sway_n with_o papist_n no_o more_o than_o when_o papist_n allege_v the_o like_a to_o protestant_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o any_o people_n or_o religion_n to_o persecute_v or_o keep_v inquisition_n house_n allead_v the_o truth_n have_v be_v sufficient_o hold_v out_o unto_o they_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o all_o alike_o neither_o can_v any_o one_o word_n be_v speak_v which_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o rational_a indifferent_a man_n such_o as_o be_v not_o concern_v in_o the_o quarrel_n but_o will_v decide_v the_o controversy_n indifferent_a either_o to_o be_v let_v alone_o or_o practise_v by_o both_o alike_o and_o so_o it_o must_v remain_v until_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n as_o not_o be_v to_o be_v determine_v by_o any_o less_o oracle_n then_o of_o god_n himself_o but_o suppose_v you_o have_v tender_v the_o gospel_n in_o a_o powerful_a and_o all-sufficient_a way_n of_o convince_a all_o such_o as_o be_v not_o perverse_a and_o can_v likewise_o distinguish_v who_o be_v thus_o malignant_o obstinate_a sin_v against_o their_o own_o conscience_n as_o you_o allege_v if_o god_n be_v please_v to_o let_v such_o still_o survive_v who_o beside_o the_o hangman_n such_o as_o be_v authorise_v thereunto_o may_v without_o be_v guilty_a of_o their_o

i_o see_v it_o still_o more_o clear_a that_o though_o such_o wilful_a heretic_n can_v easy_o be_v distinguish_v yet_o it_o be_v god_n will_v and_o pleasure_n they_o shall_v be_v permit_v to_o live_v out_o the_o day_n which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o to_o repent_v in_o or_o aggravate_v their_o sin_n and_o i_o beseech_v the_o christian_a reader_n in_o all_o tenderness_n of_o affection_n
