be_v capable_a to_o judge_v of_o such_o matter_n that_o many_o do_v hearty_o believe_v and_o profess_v the_o true_a religion_n and_o conscientious_o practise_v the_o duty_n of_o it_o who_o ye●_n do_v

can_v be_v say_v to_o use_v any_o other_o mean_v to_o procure_v this_o gift_n to_o any_o one_o than_o what_o god_n himself_o have_v prescribe_v if_o say_v you_o all_o the_o mean_v god_n have_v

without_o the_o assistance_n of_o any_o such_o force_n of_o the_o magistrate_n as_o i_o now_o think_v needful_a we_o have_v see_v already_o but_o whatever_o neglect_v or_o aversion_n there_o be_v in_o any_o impartial_o and_o thorough_o to_o instruct_v the_o people_n i_o wish_v it_o amend_v and_o that_o the_o most_o effectual_a course_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o amend_v it_o as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v do_v but_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o pertinent_a your_o discourse_n about_o this_o matter_n be_v to_o the_o present_a question_n for_o when_o you_o have_v make_v the_o best_a provision_n you_o can_v for_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o people_n i_o fear_v a_o great_a part_n of_o they_o will_v still_o need_v some_o moderate_a penalty_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o hear_v and_o receive_v instruction_n but_o this_o new_a method_n of_o i_o 24._o viz._n the_o use_v force_n not_o instead_o of_o reason_n and_o argument_n but_o only_o to_o bring_v man_n to_o consider_v those_o reason_n and_o argument_n which_o be_v proper_a and_o sufficient_a to_o convince_v they_o but_o which_o without_o be_v force_v they_o will_v not_o consider_v which_o i_o say_v 5._o no_o body_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o indirect_o and_o at_o a_o distance_n it_o do_v some_o service_n towards_o the_o bring_n man_n to_o embrace_v the_o truth_n this_o new_a method_n of_o i_o as_o you_o will_v needs_o call_v it_o though_o it_o be_v at_o least_o as_o old_a as_o st._n austin_n you_o tell_v i_o 50._o be_v never_o yet_o think_v on_o by_o the_o most_o refine_a persecutor_n which_o may_v be_v very_o true_a for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v though_o i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v both_o thought_n on_o and_o make_v use_v of_o too_o by_o all_o those_o magistrate_n who_o have_v make_v all_o requisite_a provision_n for_o the_o instruct_v their_o people_n in_o the_o truth_n have_v likewise_o require_v they_o under_o convenient_a penalty_n to_o embrace_v it_o but_o you_o say_v however_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o unlike_a the_o plea_n make_v use_v of_o to_o excuse_v the_o late_a barbarous_a usage_n of_o the_o protestant_n in_o f●ance_n design_v to_o extirpate_v the_o reform_a religion_n there_o from_o be_v a_o persecution_n for_o religion_n for_o it_o seem_v the_o french_a king_n require_v all_o his_o subject_n to_o come_v to_o mass._n which_o they_o can_v lawful_o do_v nor_o he_o lawful_o require_v they_o to_o do_v but_o you_o go_v on_o those_o who_o do_v not_o come_v to_o mass_n be_v punish_v with_o a_o witness_n for_o what_o not_o for_o their_o religion_n say_v the_o pleader_n for_o that_o discipline_n but_o for_o disobey_v the_o king_n law_n whether_o those_o pleader_n plead_v in_o this_o manner_n or_o not_o i_o know_v not_o but_o if_o they_o do_v i_o be_o sure_a their_o plea_n be_v ridiculous_a and_o carry_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o a_o excuse_n in_o it_o for_o if_o true_a religion_n which_o be_v god_n law_n forbid_v man_n to_o go_v to_o mass_n then_o those_o law_n can_v be_v no_o law_n which_o require_v man_n to_o go_v to_o mass_n unless_o man_n can_v make_v law_n against_o god_n law_n and_o if_o those_o law_n be_v no_o law_n then_o it_o be_v gross_o improper_a to_o

of_o this_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o care_n of_o every_o man_n soul_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o himself_o alone_o or_o that_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o mankind_n that_o the_o

some_o sort_n charge_v with_o the_o care_n of_o his_o neigbour_n soul_n but_o in_o your_o way_n of_o reason_v he_o that_o affirm_v this_o take_v away_o the_o care_n of_o every_o man_n soul_n from_o

to_o say_v that_o he_o that_o ve_v such_o a_o power_n as_o we_o here_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o magistrate_n take_v away_o the_o care_n of_o man_n soul_n from_o themselves_o and_o place_n it_o in_o the_o magistrate_n rather_o than_o in_o themselves_o what_o trifle_v then_o be_v it_o to_o say_v here_o if_o you_o can_v lay_v your_o hand_n upon_o your_o heart_n and_o say_v all_o this_o viz._n that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v like_a to_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o other_o man_n soul_n than_o themselves_o etc._n etc._n what_o then_o will_v be_v get_v by_o the_o change_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a here_o be_v no_o such_o change_n as_o you_o will_v insinuate_v but_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n which_o i_o assert_v to_o the_o magistrate_n be_v so_o far_o from_o discharge_v any_o man_n of_o the_o care_n of_o his_o own_o soul_n or_o lessen_v his_o obligation_n to_o it_o that_o it_o serve_v to_o no_o other_o purpose_n in_o the_o world_n but_o to_o bring_v man_n who_o otherwise_o will_v not_o to_o consider_v and_o do_v what_o the_o interest_n of_o their_o soul_n oblige_v they_o to_o it_o be_v therefore_o manifest_a that_o the_o thing_n here_o to_o be_v consider_v be_v not_o whether_o the_o magistrate_n be_v like_a to_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o other_o man_n soul_n or_o to_o take_v more_o care_n of_o they_o than_o themselves_o nor_o whether_o he_o be_v common_o more_o careful_a

other_o man_n nor_o yet_o whether_o he_o be_v not_o more_o in_o danger_n to_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n than_o other_o man_n in_o regard_n that_o he_o never_o meet_v with_o the_o great_a and_o only_a antidote_n of_o i_o as_o you_o call_v it_o against_o error_n which_o i_o here_o call_v molestation_n but_o the_o point_n upon_o which_o this_o matter_n turn_v be_v only_o this_o whether_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n be_v not_o better_o provide_v for_o if_o the_o magistrate_n be_v oblige_v to_o procure_v as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v that_o every_o man_n take_v such_o care_n as_o he_o ought_v of_o his_o soul_n than_o if_o he_o be_v not_o so_o oblige_v but_o the_o care_n of_o every_o man_n soul_n be_v leave_v to_o himself_o alone_o which_o certain_o any_o man_n of_o common_a sense_n may_v easy_o determine_v for_o as_o you_o will_v not_o i_o suppose_v deny_v but_o god_n have_v more_o ample_o provide_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n by_o oblige_v your_o neighbour_n as_o well_o as_o yourself_o to_o take_v care_n of_o it_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a your_o neighbour_n may_v not_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o it_o than_o yourself_o or_o may_v not_o be_v more_o careful_a of_o his_o own_o soul_n than_o you_o be_v of_o you_o or_o may_v be_v no_o less_o expose_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n to_o prejudices_fw-la etc._n etc._n than_o you_o be_v because_o if_o you_o be_v yourself_o want_v to_o your_o own_o soul_n it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o you_o will_v be_v bring_v to_o take_v care_n of_o it_o if_o your_o neighbour_n be_v oblige_v to_o admonish_v and_o exhort_v you_o to_o it_o than_o if_o he_o be_v not_o though_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o he_o will_v not_o do_v what_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o do_v in_o that_o case_n so_o i_o think_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n soul_n be_v better_o provide_v for_o if_o beside_o the_o obligation_n which_o every_o man_n have_v to_o take_v care_n of_o his_o

than_o it_o will_v be_v if_o every_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o himself_o in_o this_o matter_n because_o though_o we_o shall_v admit_v that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v or_o be_v
