some_o sober_a and_o weighty_a reason_n against_o prosecute_a protestant_a dissenter_n for_o difference_n of_o opinion_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n humble_o offer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o all_o in_o authority_n 1._o reas_n because_o the_o great_a and_o mighty_a god_n who_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n have_v not_o impose_v matter_n of_o religion_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n by_o any_o outward_a force_n god_n have_v not_o appoint_v death_n nor_o bannishment_n nor_o imprisonment_n nor_o loss_n of_o good_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o bring_v person_n to_o conform_v to_o the_o way_n of_o his_o worship_n but_o god_n have_v give_v his_o word_n and_o favour_v the_o world_n with_o such_o as_o can_v preach_v it_o who_o work_n be_v to_o invite_v entreat_v persuade_v and_o not_o in_o a_o lordly_a way_n to_o domineer_v over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n whether_o they_o be_v rich_a or_o poor_a 2._o reason_n because_o all_o sort_n of_o mankind_n be_v fallable_n in_o some_o divine_a matter_n even_o in_o all_o country_n the_o prince_n the_o priest_n and_o the_o people_n be_v yet_o short_a of_o infallabillity_n in_o many_o matter_n of_o divinity_n yea_o the_o most_o eminent_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n confess_v they_o see_v but_o in_o part_n and_o they_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o say_v to_o their_o fellow_n christian_n that_o they_o will_v not_o lord_n or_o domineer_v over_o they_o but_o be_v helper_n of_o their_o joy_n 3._o reason_n because_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n do_v desire_v this_o as_o a_o great_a good_a for_o themselves_o even_o those_o that_o be_v for_o distress_v of_o and_o impose_v upon_o other_o will_v not_o be_v so_o deal_v with_o themselves_o but_o will_v account_v it_o hard_a measure_n yea_o cruelty_n to_o be_v force_v to_o such_o thing_n in_o religion_n as_o be_v against_o their_o conscience_n or_o else_o to_o suffer_v in_o their_o purse_n or_o person_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o episcopal_a protestant_n will_v doom_v it_o great_a persecution_n to_o be_v punish_v if_o he_o will_v not_o turn_v presbyterian_a independent_a baptist_n or_o quaker_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v the_o episcopal_a protestant_a take_v pleasure_n in_o punish_v of_o and_o so_o force_v any_o of_o the_o other_o to_o be_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o therefore_o great_a and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v to_o walk_v by_o that_o bless_a rule_n christ_n have_v give_v do_v unto_o other_o as_o you_o will_v they_o shall_v do_v unto_o you_o and_o what_o you_o will_v not_o other_o shall_v do_v unto_o you_o do_v not_o to_o they_o 4._o reason_n because_o force_v the_o conscience_n be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v man_n hypocrite_n for_o if_o person_n conform_v to_o any_o way_n of_o worship_n unwilling_o they_o can_v serve_v god_n acceptable_o though_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o worship_n be_v never_o so_o right_o because_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o worshipper_n be_v not_o right_o the_o service_n be_v perform_v by_o by_o man_n compulsion_n god_n require_v that_o his_o service_n shall_v be_v perform_v with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n and_o with_o a_o willing_a mind_n but_o he_o that_o conform_v by_o compulsion_n in_o stead_n of_o be_v god_n servant_n he_o be_v but_o man_n slave_n and_o the_o conformity_n be_v to_o man_n and_o not_o to_o god_n 5._o reason_n because_o his_o majesty_n do_v solemn_o promise_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n when_o he_o be_v at_o breda_n just_o upon_o his_o restauration_n to_o his_o throne_n and_o kingdom_n in_o april_n 1660._o in_o these_o word_n we_o do_v declare_v a_o liberty_n to_o tender_a conscience_n and_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v disquiet_v or_o call_v in_o question_n for_o difference_n of_o opinion_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n which_o do_v not_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n &_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o consent_v to_o such_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o upon_o mature_a deliberation_n shall_v be_v offer_v to_o we_o for_o the_o full_a grant_v that_o indulgence_n 6._o reason_n because_o the_o prosecute_a the_o protestant_a dessenter_n for_o matter_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o great_a disquiet_v of_o the_o mind_n of_o great_a number_n of_o his_o majesty_n good_a subject_n and_o a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o dissenter_n be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o trade_n people_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o some_o thing_n of_o this_o his_o majesty_n be_v gracious_o please_v to_o take_v into_o his_o princely_a consideration_n when_o he_o put_v forth_o his_o indulge_v declaration_n by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o privy_a council_n in_o march_n 1672._o after_o a_o violent_a prosecution_n of_o that_o act_n against_o conventicle_n in_o these_o very_a word_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o sad_a experience_n of_o twelve_o year_n that_o there_o be_v very_o little_a fruit_n of_o all_o those_o forceable_a course_n we_o think_v ourselves_o oblige_v to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o supreme_a power_n in_o ecclesiastical_a matter_n which_o be_v not_o only_o inherent_a in_o we_o but_o have_v be_v declare_v and_o recognize_v to_o be_v so_o by_o several_a statute_n and_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v now_o according_o issue_v this_o our_o declaration_n as_o well_o for_o the_o quiet_v of_o the_o mind_n of_o our_o good_a subject_n in_o these_o point_n for_o invite_v of_o stranger_n in_o this_o conjuncture_n to_o come_v and_o live_v under_o we_o and_o for_o the_o better_a encouragement_n of_o all_o to_o a_o cheerful_a follow_v of_o their_o trade_n and_o calling_n from_o whence_o we_o hope_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o have_v many_o good_a and_o happy_a advantage_n to_o our_o government_n 7._o reason_n because_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o assemble_v in_o parliament_n sense_n those_o declaration_n have_v upon_o mature_a deliberation_n consider_v the_o ill_a consequence_n of_o prosecute_a the_o protestant_a dissenter_n by_o the_o penal_a law_n and_o have_v show_v their_o willingness_n to_o a_o toleration_n and_o prohibit_v of_o a_o prosecution_n of_o protestant_n for_o matter_n of_o conscience_n 8._o reason_n because_o the_o french_a protestant_n who_o be_v the_o dissenter_n from_o the_o establish_v worship_n of_o that_o kingdom_n be_v gracious_o receive_v by_o the_o king_n and_o kind_o receive_v and_o succour_v by_o the_o people_n of_o england_n and_o the_o french_a king_n be_v high_o blame_v for_o persecute_v his_o peaceable_a subject_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o reason_n that_o protestant_n shall_v not_o persecute_v one_o another_o for_o it_o be_v to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v condemn_v in_o other_o therefore_o let_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v well_o consider_v rom._n 2._o 1._o thou_o be_v inexcusable_a o_o man_n whoever_o thou_o be_v that_o judge_v another_o thou_o condemne_v thyself_o for_o thou_o that_o judge_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n thyself_o verse_n 3_o and_o think_v thou_o o_o man_n that_o judge_v they_o which_o do_v such_o thing_n and_o do_v the_o same_o that_o thou_o shall_v escape_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n 9_o reason_n there_o be_v a_o good_a and_o great_a agreement_n between_o the_o conform_v and_o nonconforming_a protestant_n in_o the_o chief_a thing_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n as_o for_o instance_n 1._o both_o party_n believe_v in_o the_o holy_a trinity_n viz._n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n 2._o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v very_a god_n and_o very_a man_n and_o the_o only_a saviour_n of_o sinner_n 3._o that_o salvation_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o miraculous_a birth_n the_o holy_a life_n the_o painful_a death_n the_o wonderful_a resurrection_n the_o joyful_a ascension_n the_o constant_a intercession_n and_o the_o second_o come_v of_o jesus_n christ_n 4._o both_o party_n believe_v that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o the_o conversation_n of_o man_n aught_o to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o invention_n of_o any_o sort_n of_o mankind_n 5._o both_o party_n do_v deny_v all_o mediator_n but_o only_a jesus_n christ_n and_o abhor_v pray_v to_o decease_a saint_n 6._o both_o party_n deny_v a_o purgatory_n and_o do_v believe_v and_o profess_v a_o heaven_n of_o eternal_a joy_n for_o the_o godly_a and_o a_o hell_n of_o eternal_a woe_n for_o the_o wicked_a all_o these_o thing_n more_o large_o and_o plain_o be_v make_v manifest_a in_o confession_n of_o faith_n print_v by_o the_o dissent_v protestant_n as_o well_n as_o by_o the_o conform_v protestant_n now_o the_o matter_n wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o each_o other_o be_v small_a than_o the_o former_a thing_n and_o yet_o such_o as_o each_o partty_n can_v conform_v unto_o without_o wrong_v their_o conscience_n and_o so_o sin_v against_o god_n therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v force_v 10._o reason_n because_o persecution_n for_o matter_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o good_a rule_n of_o humanity_n and_o common_a civility_n among_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n which_o be_v careful_o observe_v in_o small_a matter_n as_o for_o instance_n among_o the_o many_o creature_n of_o god_n that_o be_v food_n for_o man_n body_n some_o thing_n that_o be_v very_a please_a and_o comfortable_a food_n for_o some_o man_n the_o same_o thing_n be_v very_o destructive_a to_o the_o health_n of_o other_o man_n now_o in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v such_o civility_n among_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o they_o hate_v and_o scorn_n to_o force_v one_o another_o stomach_n look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v a_o inhuman_a practice_n and_o therefore_o do_v friendly_a say_v to_o each_o other_o pray_v eat_v that_o which_o will_v best_o go_v down_o and_o agree_v with_o your_o stomach_n now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o conscience_n be_v great_a than_o stomach_n and_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o soul_n great_a than_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o body_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v person_n especial_o protestant_n be_v thus_o friendly_a one_o to_o another_o in_o matter_n of_o conscience_n 11._o reason_n because_o all_o protestant_n ought_v to_o behave_v themselves_o towards_o each_o other_o as_o brethren_n there_o be_v so_o good_a and_o great_a agreement_n between_o they_o in_o the_o chief_a thing_n of_o religion_n especial_o they_o be_v all_o in_o a_o like_a danger_n of_o the_o bloody_a papist_n who_o if_o ever_o the_o government_n shall_v fall_v into_o their_o bloody_a hand_n which_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n prevent_v then_o the_o same_o misery_n that_o may_v befall_v the_o protestant_a dissenter_n will_v certain_o befall_v the_o conform_v protestant_n if_o they_o prove_v true_a to_o their_o protestant_a principle_n they_o will_v all_o be_v deem_v heretic_n and_o must_v suffer_v as_o much_o in_o their_o estate_n and_o person_n and_o therefore_o instead_o of_o persecute_v one_o another_o they_o shall_v love_v each_o other_o and_o pray_v for_o each_o other_o and_o say_v as_o abraham_n say_v to_o lot_n let_v there_o be_v no_o strife_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o for_o we_o be_v brethren_n and_o more_o especial_o because_o the_o popish_a cannonite_n and_o perrizite_n be_v now_o too_o much_o in_o the_o land_n 12._o reason_n because_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o any_o foreign_a power_n but_o do_v abhor_v detest_v and_o protest_v against_o all_o foreign_a power_n or_o jurisdiction_n over_o the_o king_n the_o kingdom_n or_o any_o of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n neither_o be_v they_o covetous_a of_o preferment_n in_o church_n or_o state_n but_o willing_o leave_v that_o to_o his_o majesty_n wisdom_n and_o desire_v only_o that_o they_o may_v live_v a_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n under_o authority_n as_o god_n word_n do_v direct_v
