A42709 Something offered to the consideration of all those who have had a hand in putting the late made Act, (entituled, An Act to prevent and suppress seditious conventicles) in execution For the sake of such who have any tenderness towards the innocent; and also for the information of all others, who have had, shall or may have, a hand in putting in execution the said Act, I shall offer something to shew, whom and what exercises of religion are concerned in and by the said Act, and what not, according to the most true natural genuine litteral sense and meaning thereof, and no other wise. Gibson, Thomas, Quaker. 1665 (1665) Wing G678; ESTC R218330 7,386 9

lord_n will_v yet_o again_o as_o in_o day_n past_a arise_v and_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o innocent_a and_o oppress_v and_o raise_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o justice_n and_o true_a judgement_n in_o this_o nation_n and_o then_o in_o that_o day_n how_o will_v you_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v or_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o that_o damage_n and_o spoil_v you_o have_v make_v upon_o the_o innocent_a o_o therefore_o that_o you_o may_v hear_v and_o fear_n repent_v and_o do_v no_o more_o so_o that_o the_o judgement_n threaten_v you_o may_v escape_v but_o to_o return_v i_o shall_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v till_o it_o be_v deny_v that_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o allow_v all_o person_n to_o use_v their_o own_o form_n or_o

of_o fact_n with_o all_o plainness_n and_o clearness_n not_o in_o general_a term_n for_o that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o aught_o to_o express_v the_o particular_a exercise_n of_o religion_n with_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o you_o the_o person_n be_v due_o convict_v as_o the_o law_n require_v and_o this_o you_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o

that_o the_o religious_a exercise_n use_v be_v some_o exercise_n of_o religion_n to_o which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v prescribe_v a_o particular_a form_n and_o notwithstanding_o be_v

i_o say_v and_o be_o ready_a to_o maintain_v it_o that_o such_o evidence_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v the_o indictment_n for_o though_o this_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o
