A11774	The Belgicke pismire stinging the slothfull sleeper, and avvaking the diligent to fast, watch, pray; and worke out their owne temporall and eternall salvation with feare and trembling.	Scott, Thomas, 1580?-1626.	1622 (1622)	STC 22069; ESTC S116957	66,236	114

since_o god_n himself_o save_v no_o man_n against_o his_o will_n but_o as_o i_o much_o lament_v that_o the_o wine_n of_o giddy_a schism_n shall_v dis-mantle_n the_o christian_a commonwealth_n to_o the_o scandal_n of_o jew_n and_o turk_n and_o derision_n of_o atheist_n wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n it_o be_v otherwise_o so_o withal_o i_o wish_v since_o such_o a_o happiness_n as_o universal_a peace_n can_v be_v hope_v for_o till_o it_o please_v god_n to_o effect_v it_o by_o miracle_n that_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n there_o be_v a_o equal_a toleration_n of_o religion_n through_o all_o christendom_n with_o provision_n that_o none_o but_o one_o religion_n shall_v be_v profess_v and_o public_o preach_v in_o one_o place_n though_o other_o might_n there_o live_v safe_o and_o free_o without_o impeachment_n of_o their_o conscience_n person_n or_o good_n so_o they_o neither_o make_v attempt_n of_o violent_a mutation_n nor_o have_v public_a meeting_n or_o harbour_v such_o teacher_n as_o be_v contrary_a in_o opinion_n to_o the_o church_n and_o state_n wherein_o they_o live_v and_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o silly_a subject_n who_o stand_v aloof_o off_o to_o pry_v into_o the_o sacred_a ark_n of_o their_o sovereign_n intent_n and_o so_o to_o guess_v at_o their_o hide_a purpose_n i_o very_o believe_v that_o this_o or_o something_o like_o it_o be_v that_o which_o his_o majesty_n aim_v at_o if_o he_o can_v effect_v it_o as_o well_o in_o italy_n france_n and_o spain_n as_o he_o will_v upon_o those_o or_o better_a term_n willing_o grant_v it_o in_o england_n otherwise_o he_o see_v it_o will_v be_v prejudicial_a and_o disadvantageous_a to_o the_o truth_n to_o permit_v a_o toleration_n only_o in_o england_n except_o he_o can_v likewise_o establish_v it_o universal_o but_o than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o truth_n will_v get_v ground_n of_o falsehood_n by_o familiarity_n and_o that_o civil_a communion_n will_v prepare_v the_o mind_n for_o spiritual_a and_o not_o suffer_v such_o a_o averseness_n to_o continue_v among_o we_o as_o be_v now_o general_o profess_v when_o christian_n hold_v each_o other_o in_o worse_a account_n than_o turk_n insomuch_o as_o some_o man_n say_v and_o it_o seem_v not_o without_o some_o reason_n that_o they_o have_v rather_o live_v under_o the_o turk_n then_o under_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n for_o the_o turk_n will_v permit_v they_o the_o free_a exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n at_o least_o the_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n but_o the_o inquisition_n of_o spain_n tie_v all_o man_n in_o a_o tyrannical_a manner_n to_o be_v slave_n to_o rome_n and_o force_v they_o with_o torture_n to_o renounce_v their_o faith_n do_v violence_n to_o the_o will_n of_o man_n which_o they_o themselves_o hold_v to_o be_v free_a even_o while_o they_o punish_v the_o person_n and_o will_n for_o be_v so_o and_o assure_o therefore_o as_o religious_a pretence_n and_o a_o strict_a observance_n of_o the_o romish_a faith_n have_v much_o advance_v the_o spanish_a conquest_n one_o way_n among_o fool_n that_o will_v be_v easy_o mislead_v with_o flourish_n so_o the_o press_v of_o the_o inquisition_n upon_o
