A58926	A seasonable discourse shewing the necessity of union amongst Protestants, in opposition to popery, as the only means (under God) to preserve the reformed religion also, the charge of persecution, lately maintained against the established religion, by W.P., H.C. and other insignificant scriblers, detected : proving it to be the ministers of state, and not the church, that prosecuted the penal laws on Protestant dissenters.		1688 (1688)	Wing S2228; ESTC R14748	13,863	17

they_o call_v protestant_n when_o their_o dissension_n among_o themselves_o be_v great_a therefore_o i_o earnest_o persuade_v and_o entreat_v you_o as_o you_o tender_v the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o establish_v your_o sound_a religion_n to_o put_v on_o a_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n charity_n and_o compliance_n as_o far_o as_o possible_a with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o if_o you_o can_v receive_v satisfaction_n enough_o from_o her_o learned_a member_n thorough_o to_o conform_v yet_o let_v not_o your_o charity_n be_v so_o narrow_a as_o to_o have_v a_o bad_a opinion_n of_o those_o worthy_a man_n that_o be_v abundant_o satisfy_v with_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o their_o conformity_n as_o you_o desire_v no_o harsh_a censure_n be_v pass_v on_o you_o for_o nonconformity_n so_o be_v sure_a you_o avoid_v reflect_v on_o those_o pious_a man_n that_o hold_v it_o lawful_a to_o assent_v and_o consent_n to_o all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o
