no_o papist_n nor_o presbyterian_a but_o the_o modest_a desire_n and_o proposal_n of_o some_o well-affected_a and_o freeborn_a people_n offer_v to_o the_o general_n council_n of_o the_o army_n for_o

for_o general_a satisfaction_n 1649._o proposal_n from_o some_o well-assected_n freeborn_a people_n for_o redress_v of_o grievance_n have_v long_o and_o sad_o expect_v the_o settlement_n of_o this_o kingdom_n in_o a_o firm_a and_o last_a peace_n free_v from_o all_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n and_o that_o the_o freeborn_a people_n of_o this_o land_n may_v enjoy_v such_o immunity_n and_o privilege_n as_o of_o right_o belong_v unto_o we_o which_o we_o be_v in_o some_o present_a and_o apparent_a hope_n by_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o enjoy_v and_o have_v always_o profess_v and_o own_v that_o principle_n of_o do_v to_o other_o as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o propound_v to_o those_o who_o be_v at_o present_a impower_v and_o entrust_v by_o we_o the_o people_n as_o our_o representative_n some_o additional_a grievance_n to_o be_v insert_v into_o the_o people_n agreement_n and_o these_o as_o well_o in_o behalf_n and_o out_o of_o a_o fellow-feeling_n of_o other_o interest_n as_o of_o our_o own_o be_v clear_o in_o order_n to_o that_o so_o often_o repeat_v and_o promise_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n which_o promise_n we_o be_v confident_a have_v cause_v some_o interest_n to_o acquiesce_v which_o otherwise_o may_v in_o all_o probability_n have_v assist_v or_o adhere_v unto_o our_o profess_a enemy_n even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o we_o and_o the_o army_n great_a exigence_n but_o now_o since_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o subjugate_v our_o enemy_n and_o thus_o far_o to_o advance_v and_o own_v this_o cause_n we_o hope_v this_o success_n of_o the_o sword_n will_v not_o cause_v any_o of_o the_o chief_a officer_n of_o the_o army_n or_o other_o to_o recede_v from_o their_o former_a principle_n or_o forget_v their_o so_o often_o declare_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n without_o exception_n in_o confidence_n whereof_o and_o in_o order_n whereunto_o we_o propound_v as_o follow_v 1._o that_o all_o penal_a statute_n against_o non-conformists'_a in_o religion_n may_v be_v forthwith_o repeal_v and_o make_v null_n since_o for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o the_o well-affected_a and_o conscientious_a man_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v as_o well_o concern_v therein_o and_o liable_a thereunto_o as_o the_o papist_n and_o that_o all_o justice_n of_o peace_n pursuivant_n or_o other_o persecutor_n that_o shall_v any_o way_n proceed_v upon_o any_o of_o those_o statute_n may_v be_v severe_o punish_v 2._o that_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o allegiance_n with_o the_o nationall_n covenant_n and_o all_o other_o compulsory_a oath_n may_v be_v effectual_o declare_v against_o and_o take_v away_o 3._o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o free_a and_o unmolested_a exercise_n of_o religion_n at_o least_o in_o private_a house_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o profess_v christ_n none_o except_v 4._o that_o no_o person_n be_v force_v to_o pay_v or_o contribute_v towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o public_a minister_n who_o out_o of_o conscience_n can_v submit_v thereunto_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v provide_v for_o in_o some_o other_o unoppressive_a way_n 5._o that_o as_o it_o have_v be_v well_o propound_v by_o other_o against_o lawyer_n and_o the_o expense_n and_o protraction_n of_o law_n suit_v so_o likewise_o that_o the_o excessive_a fee_n of_o physician_n may_v be_v regulate_v and_o reduce_v whereby_o the_o poor_a for_o a_o small_a and_o reasonable_a fee_n may_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o their_o skill_n as_o in_o france_n a_o physician_n common_a fee_n for_o come_v to_o a_o patient_a be_v a_o quard_a escu_n or_o 1._o sh_n 6._o d._n 6._o that_o the_o land_n and_o good_n of_o all_o papist_n who_o can_v be_v lawful_o charge_v or_o convict_v by_o two_o sufficient_a witness_n either_o to_o have_v be_v in_o arm_n against_o the_o parliament_n or_o to_o have_v aid_v or_o assist_v the_o king_n be_v immediate_o discharge_v of_o all_o sequestration_n and_o unjust_a seizure_n since_o that_o delinquency_n be_v clear_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o they_o suffer_v mere_o for_o conscience_n sake_n if_o still_o sequester_v 7._o that_o papist_n in_o arm_n may_v be_v no_o worse_o deal_v with_o in_o their_o composition_n than_o other_o in_o arm_n since_o to_o lay_v a_o fine_a or_o mulct_n upon_o their_o religion_n be_v no_o way_n in_o order_n to_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n 8._o that_o no_o person_n be_v disable_v from_o bear_v any_o office_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o any_o opinion_n or_o practice_n in_o religion_n though_o contrary_a to_o the_o public_a way_n 9_o that_o all_o person_n whatsoever_o now_o in_o durance_n who_o can_v be_v charge_v with_o any_o crime_n against_o the_o state_n or_o be_v not_o imprison_v for_o debt_n but_o that_o suffer_v only_o for_o conscience_n sake_n may_v be_v forthwith_o discharge_v some_o perhaps_o may_v here_o object_v that_o to_o grant_v thus_o much_o will_v be_v too_o much_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o papist_n whereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o as_o we_o bear_v they_o no_o more_o love_n than_o what_o one_o christian_a be_v bind_v to_o show_v unto_o another_o and_o their_o tenet_n much_o less_o so_o we_o be_v clear_a of_o opinion_n that_o it_o can_v perfect_o be_v say_v to_o be_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v warrant_v by_o scripture_n that_o they_o or_o any_o other_o that_o wear_v the_o title_n of_o christian_n shall_v be_v exclude_v beside_o if_o any_o restriction_n or_o penalty_n shall_v be_v continue_v on_o the_o papist_n though_o for_o the_o present_a we_o and_o other_o well-affected_a person_n may_v be_v secure_a and_o unmolested_a yet_o we_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o the_o same_o law_n or_o penalty_n by_o any_o change_n of_o time_n may_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o as_o have_v be_v too_o evident_a of_o late_a year_n when_o as_o the_o penal_a statute_n which_o we_o know_v be_v primary_o intend_v against_o papist_n and_o their_o adherent_n be_v make_v a_o foundation_n for_o the_o bishop_n to_o exercise_v their_o lordly_a and_o tyrannical_a will_n over_o many_o peaceable_a and_o conscientious_a man_n for_o nonconformity_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n here_o we_o may_v add_v the_o consistency_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n with_o many_o nay_o most_o government_n whether_o monarchical_a popular_a or_o mix_v as_o in_o france_n holland_n germany_n switzerland_n etc._n etc._n where_o diversity_n of_o faith_n exile_v no_o confidence_n but_o person_n of_o all_o religion_n be_v indifferent_o employ_v and_o find_v faithful_a in_o office_n and_o place_n of_o great_a trust_n again_o if_o there_o be_v such_o penalty_n and_o restriction_n put_v upon_o man_n conscience_n they_o can_v be_v term_v freeborn_a people_n and_o english_a native_n but_o rather_o alien_n outlaw_n or_o man_n bar_v of_o all_o propriety_n of_o person_n and_o good_n and_o without_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v every_o man_n birthright_n and_o what_o be_v the_o case_n of_o other_o to_o day_n may_v be_v we_o tomorrow_o according_a to_o the_o ebb_n or_o flow_v of_o fortune_n here_o perhaps_o some_o other_o will_v object_v and_o say_v that_o though_o all_o other_o religion_n ought_v to_o be_v tolerate_v yet_o papist_n ought_v not_o because_o they_o be_v idolater_n whereto_o if_o you_o will_v take_v the_o answer_n which_o we_o have_v hear_v some_o of_o they_o deliver_v for_o we_o think_v it_o just_a to_o hear_v all_o party_n and_o hold_v it_o a_o work_n of_o charity_n to_o convert_v any_o by_o argument_n from_o the_o write_a word_n their_o answer_n be_v this_o that_o they_o give_v not_o picture_n or_o such_o representation_n as_o they_o call_v they_o any_o sovereign_a honour_n which_o be_v that_o that_o proper_o belong_v to_o god_n but_o a_o inferior_a or_o relative_a kind_n of_o reverence_n or_o honour_n and_o if_o we_o take_v papist_n in_o our_o or_o the_o common_a receive_v sense_n yet_o we_o can_v say_v they_o be_v such_o idolater_n as_o those_o mention_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n who_o absolute_o adore_v even_o with_o sovereign_a honour_n the_o image_n of_o false_a god_n which_o these_o papist_n for_o aught_o we_o can_v learn_v do_v not_o do_v but_o do_v adore_v the_o image_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o therefore_o can_v proper_o be_v call_v idolater_n at_o least_o in_o scripture_n sense_n but_o rather_o superstitious_a and_o popish_a person_n but_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a or_o warrant_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o persecute_v the_o papist_n or_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o people_n profess_v christ_n yet_o we_o have_v observe_v in_o these_o last_o 7._o year_n of_o their_o persecution_n which_o we_o confess_v have_v be_v very_o severe_a and_o we_o believe_v that_o their_o persecutor_n if_o they_o ever_o get_v the_o power_n will_v be_v as_o rigid_a and_o unchristian_a towards_o we_o when_o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v hang_v draw_v and_o quarter_v other_o 7._o or_o 8._o year_n imprison_v only_o for_o refuse_v such_o oath_n as_o we_o or_o perhaps_o the_o persecutor_n themselves_o can_v in_o conscience_n take_v and_o many_o of_o their_o estate_n sequester_v only_o for_o nonconformity_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o see_v that_o this_o persecution_n have_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o abate_v or_o lessen_v the_o number_n of_o they_o but_o that_o they_o be_v rather_o increase_v by_o suffer_v so_o that_o whether_o we_o respect_v our_o own_o principle_n of_o do_v to_o other_o as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o or_o be_v steer_v by_o reason_n of_o religion_n or_o of_o common_a policy_n we_o humble_o offer_v and_o think_v fit_a that_o no_o agreement_n of_o the_o people_n be_v conclude_v or_o offer_v to_o public_a test_n by_o any_o representative_a but_o that_o as_o a_o principal_a &_o material_a part_n which_o belong_v to_o god_n liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o all_o that_o profess_v christ_n without_o exception_n may_v be_v insert_v and_o the_o foresay_a grievance_n redress_v so_o shall_v we_o with_o all_o true_a and_o freeborn_a english_a man_n join_v hand_n and_o heart_n against_o all_o enemy_n to_o peace_n and_o godliness_n finis_fw-la
