A54026	Concerning persecution: which is, the afflicting or punishing that which is good, under the pretence of its being evil. Which practice is contrary to the very nature of mankind (so far as it is drawn out of the corruption and depravation) which would be good and do good, and have good cherished, and evil suppressed, both in it self and others. ... Yet this unhappy error will always be committed in nations and governments, until the proper right and just liberty of men's consciences be discerned, acknowledged and allowed. Likewise, there are some answers given to that common objection, against affording conscience in its due liberty, because evil persons may pretend conscience to escape the just punishment of their evil deeds. With a brief account of that supposed stubbornes, which by man is objected against the people called Quakers. ... By Isaac Penington the younger.

the_o way_n and_o mean_n of_o persecution_n be_v very_o many_o who_o can_v want_v instrument_n to_o afflict_v the_o innocent_a and_o helpless_a who_o can_v neither_o resist_v the_o evil_n which_o be_v

persecution_n be_v by_o make_v use_n of_o law_n already_o make_v either_o according_a to_o their_o proper_a tendency_n to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n or_o by_o bend_v they_o aside_o from_o their_o proper_a intent_n to_o reach_v those_o who_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o afflict_v and_o persecute_v thus_o the_o jew_n when_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o have_v christ_n put_v to_o death_n tell_v pilate_n we_o have_v a_o law_n and_o by_o our_o law_n he_o ought_v to_o die_v john_n 19_o 7._o 2._o another_o way_n be_v by_o make_v new_a law_n fit_a for_o their_o purpose_n whereby_o they_o may_v catch_v ensnare_v and_o suppress_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o spirit_n and_o principle_n and_o which_o will_v not_o bow_v thereto_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a way_n to_o take_v that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o which_o can_v but_o be_v true_a to_o he_o and_o so_o can_v bow_v to_o the_o corrupt_a will_n of_o man_n nor_o to_o any_o law_n make_v in_o the_o corrupt_a will_n to_o strengthen_v the_o corruption_n and_o against_o the_o holy_a pure_a will_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n thus_o daniel_n and_o the_o three_o child_n be_v catch_v in_o the_o snare_n by_o law_n daniel_n for_o pray_v to_o his_o god_n against_o the_o royal_a statute_n and_o firm_a decree_n of_o the_o king_n sign_v in_o writing_n according_a to_o the_o desire_n and_o advice_n of_o all_o the_o precedent_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o governor_n prince_n counsellor_n and_o captain_n dan._n 6._o 7_o 8._o and_o the_o three_o child_n for_o not_o worship_v the_o image_n nabuchadnezzar_n have_v set_v up_o according_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o king_n observe_v this_o by_o the_o way_n and_o consider_v it_o well_o what_o have_v be_v set_v up_o all_o this_o night_n of_o the_o apostasy_n but_o image_n of_o the_o true_a worship_n and_o what_o compel_v have_v there_o be_v thereto_o thus_o have_v article_n be_v frame_v and_o stature_n make_v here_o in_o england_n as_o in_o king_n henry_n 8._o and_o in_o queen_n mary_n day_n which_o have_v be_v great_a engine_n of_o persecution_n and_o thus_o have_v there_o be_v some_o late_a law_n make_v in_o new_a england_n to_o the_o same_o effect_n though_o better_a may_v have_v just_o be_v expect_v from_o they_o and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o certain_a way_n but_o a_o very_a plausible_a way_n likewise_o whereby_o the_o persecutor_n hide_v himself_o from_o the_o imputation_n of_o persecution_n and_o appear_v as_o a_o just_a executer_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o represent_v he_o who_o be_v upright_o before_o god_n and_o innocent_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o a_o offender_n and_o breaker_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o just_o punishable_a but_o this_o will_v not_o always_o cover_v the_o unjust_a spirit_n persecution_n of_o the_o just_a he_o that_o shall_v persecute_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n as_o he_o that_o persecute_v the_o least_o member_n of_o his_o how_o contemptible_a soever_o he_o appear_v to_o his_o eye_n do_v no_o less_o act._n 9_o 4._o matth._n 25._o 40_o 45._o when_o christ_n shall_v call_v he_o to_o account_v therefore_o it_o will_v be_v a_o vain_a plea_n for_o he_o to_o say_v there_o be_v a_o law_n for_o it_o and_o he_o act_v according_a to_o law_n it_o be_v fit_a for_o all_o man_n and_o law_n to_o bow_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o to_o disturb_v any_o in_o their_o obedience_n to_o the_o lord_n or_o hurt_v the_o principle_n of_o his_o life_n in_o any_o but_o cherish_v and_o nurse_v it_o up_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v in_o that_o tenderness_n which_o christ_n beget_v in_o it_o and_o in_o that_o spiritual_a liberty_n which_o christ_n allow_v it_o 3._o a_o three_o way_n of_o persecution_n be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o violence_n without_o either_o law_n or_o so_o much_o as_o
