needs_o be_v to_o impose_v that_o which_o his_o conscience_n can_v urge_v he_o to_o impose_v upon_o he_o who_o conscience_n forbid_v he_o to_o obey_v what_o can_v it_o be_v but_o love_n of_o

since_o through_o the_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n we_o have_v shake_v off_o his_o babylonish_n yoke_n have_v not_o cease_v by_o his_o spy_n and_o agent_n bull_n and_o emissary_n once_o to_o destroy_v both_o king_n and_o parliament_n perpetual_o to_o seduce_v corrupt_a and_o pervert_v as_o many_o as_o they_o can_v of_o the_o people_n whether_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a or_o

that_o toleration_n be_v either_o public_a or_o private_a and_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v idolatrous_a can_v be_v tolerate_v neither_o way_n not_o public_o without_o grievous_a and_o unsufferable_a scandal_n give_v to_o all_o conscientious_a beholder_n not_o private_o without_o great_a offence_n to_o god_n declare_v against_o all_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n
