yield_v their_o king_n the_o able_a captain_n of_o the_o age_n namely_o turene_n it_o be_v a_o hugenot_n then_o at_o the_o head_n of_o almost_o a_o hugenot_n army_n that_o fall_v in_o with_o a_o

now_o what_o have_v be_v may_v be_v methinks_v wisdom_n and_o charity_n be_v on_o that_o side_n still_o it_o will_v doubtless_o be_v object_v that_o the_o dissent_v party_n of_o england_n fall_v in_o with_o the_o state_n dissenter_n in_o our_o late_a civil_a but_o unnatural_a war_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o we_o yet_o three_o thing_n must_v be_v confess_v first_o that_o the_o war_n

last_o that_o they_o do_v not_o lead_v but_o follow_v great_a number_n of_o church-goer_n of_o all_o quality_n in_o that_o unhappy_a controversy_n which_o begin_v upon_o other_o topic_n than_o liberty_n for_o church-dissenters_a and_o though_o they_o be_v herein_o unblamable_a reason_n be_v reason_n in_o all_o climate_n and_o latitude_n this_o do_v not_o affect_v the_o question_n such_o calamity_n be_v no_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o church-dissent_n because_o they_o will_v then_o follow_v in_o all_o place_n where_o dissenter_n be_v tolerate_v which_o we_o see_v they_o do_v not_o but_o these_o may_v sometime_o indeed_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o a_o violent_a endeavour_n of_o uniformity_n and_o that_o under_o all_o form_n of_o government_n as_o i_o fear_v they_o be_v partly_o here_o under_o our_o monarchy_n but_o then_o this_o teach_v we_o to_o conclude_v that_o a_o toleration_n of_o those_o that_o a_o contrary_a course_n make_v uneasy_a and_o desperate_a may_v prevent_v or_o cure_v intestine_a trouble_n as_o anno_fw-la forty_o eight_o it_o end_v the_o strife_n and_o settle_v the_o peace_n of_o germany_n for_o it_o be_v not_o now_o the_o question_n how_o far_o man_n may_v be_v provoke_v or_o aught_o to_o resent_v it_o but_o whether_o government_n be_v safe_a in_o a_o toleration_n especial_o monarchy_n and_o to_o this_o issue_n we_o be_v come_v in_o reason_n and_o fact_n that_o it_o be_v safe_a and_o that_o conformist_n general_o speak_v have_v for_o their_o interest_n as_o rare_o know_v their_o duty_n to_o their_o prince_n as_o dissenter_n for_o their_o conscience_n so_o that_o the_o danger_n seem_v to_o lie_v on_o the_o side_n of_o force_v uniformity_n against_o faith_n upon_o severe_a penalty_n rather_o than_o of_o a_o discreet_a toleration_n in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v the_o prudence_n and_o reasonableness_n of_o a_o toleration_n by_o the_o great_a benefit_n that_o follow_v it_o toleration_n which_o be_v a_o

for_o if_o no_o man_n suffer_v in_o his_o civil_a right_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o such_o dissent_n the_o point_n of_o succession_n be_v settle_v without_o a_o civil_a war_n or_o a_o recantation_n since_o it_o be_v a_o absurd_a thing_n to_o imagine_v that_o a_o man_n bear_v to_o five_o pound_n a_o year_n shall_v not_o be_v liable_a to_o forfeit_v his_o inheritance_n for_o nonconformity_n and_o yet_o a_o prince_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o a_o heir_n to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n shall_v be_v make_v incapable_a of_o his_o inheritance_n for_o church-dissent_n the_o security_n then_o of_o property_n or_o civil_a right_n from_o be_v forfeitable_a for_o religious_a dissent_n become_v a_o security_n to_o the_o royal_a family_n against_o the_o difficulty_n late_o labour_v under_o in_o
