A29318	Brethren in iniquity, or, The confederacy of Papists with sectaries, for the destroying of the true religion, as by law establish'd, plainly detected wherein is shewed a farther account of the Romish snares and intrigues for the destroying the true reformed religion, as professed in the Church of England, and established by law, and for the introducing of popery or atheism among us : clearly shewing from very authentick writers and testimonies, that the principal ways and methods whereby the papists have sought the ruine of our religion and church, from the beginning of our Reformation, to the present times, and by which they are still in hopes of compassing it, are by promoting of toleration, or pretended liberty of conscience, and that for above these sixscore years the papists have so craftily influenced our dissenters, as to make them the unhappy instruments of effecting their most pernicious designs, which they contrived for, the subverting our church and state.		1690 (1690)	Wing B4382; ESTC R6507	50,245	71

the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o yet_o perfect_v and_o settle_v among_o we_o according_a to_o our_o covenant_n and_o why_o may_v not_o the_o reformation_n be_v raise_v up_o at_o last_o to_o such_o purity_n and_o perfection_n that_o true_o tender_a conscience_n may_v receive_v abundant_a satisfaction_n for_o aught_o that_o yet_o appear_v 2._o it_o be_v not_o yet_o know_v what_o the_o

establishment_n of_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n before_o there_o be_v any_o model_n of_o it_o extant_a 3._o we_o can_v hardly_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o independent_o themselves_o after_o all_o the_o stir_v they_o have_v make_v among_o we_o be_v as_o yet_o full_o resolve_v about_o their_o own_o way_n wherewith_o they_o will_v be_v conclude_v see_v they_o publish_v not_o their_o model_n

and_o so_o in_o insinitum_fw-la it_o be_v more_o seasonable_a to_o move_v for_o toleration_n when_o once_o they_o be_v positive_o determine_v how_o far_o they_o mean_v to_o go_v and_o where_o they_o mean_v to_o stay_v ii_o their_o desire_n and_o endeavour_n be_v unreasonable_a and_o unequal_a in_o divers_a regard_n 1._o partly_o because_o no_o such_o toleration_n have_v hitherto_o be_v establish_v so_o far_o as_o we_o know_v in_o any_o christian_a state_n by_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n 2._o partly_o because_o some_o of_o they_o have_v solemn_o profess_v that_o they_o can_v suffer_v presbytery_n and_o answerable_a hereunto_o be_v their_o practice_n in_o those_n place_n where_o independency_n prevail_v 3._o and_o partly_o because_o to_o grant_v to_o they_o and_o not_o to_o other_o sectary_n who_o be_v free_a bear_v as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o have_v do_v as_o good_a service_n as_o they_o to_o the_o public_a as_o they_o use_v to_o plead_v will_v be_v count_v injustice_n and_o
