A48884	A letter concerning toleration humbly submitted, etc.; Epistola de tolerantia. English	Locke, John, 1632-1704.; Popple, William, d. 1708.	1689 (1689)	Wing L2747; ESTC R14566	42,784	72

to_o come_v in_o the_o last_o place_n let_v we_o now_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o magistrate_n duty_n in_o the_o business_n of_o toleration_n which_o certain_o be_v very_o considerable_a we_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o magistrate_n not_o a_o magisterial_a care_n i_o mean_v if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o which_o consist_v in_o prescribe_v by_o law_n and_o compel_v by_o punishment_n but_o a_o charitable_a care_n which_o consist_v in_o teach_v admonish_a and_o persuade_v can_v be_v deny_v unto_o any_o man._n the_o care_n therefore_o of_o every_o man_n soul_n belong_v unto_o himself_o and_o be_v to_o be_v leave_v unto_o himself_o but_o what_o if_o he_o neglect_v the_o care_n of_o his_o soul_n i_o answer_v what_o if_o he_o neglect_v the_o care_n of_o his_o health_n or_o of_o his_o estate_n which_o thing_n be_v nearly_a relate_v to_o the_o government_n of_o the_o magistrate_n than_o the_o other_o will_v the_o magistrate_n provide_v by_o a_o express_a law_n that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v not_o become_v poor_a or_o sick_a law_n provide_v as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o good_n and_o health_n of_o subject_n be_v not_o injure_v by_o the_o fraud_n or_o violence_n of_o other_o they_o do_v not_o guard_v they_o from_o the_o negligence_n or_o ill-husbandry_n of_o the_o possessor_n themselves_o no_o man_n can_v be_v force_v to_o be_v rich_a or_o healthful_a whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n nay_o god_n himself_o will_v not_o save_v man_n against_o their_o will_n let_v we_o suppose_v however_o that_o some_o prince_n be_v desirous_a to_o force_v his_o subject_n to_o accumulate_v riches_n or_o to_o preserve_v the_o health_n and_o strength_n of_o their_o body_n shall_v it_o be_v provide_v by_o law_n that_o they_o must_v consult_v none_o but_o roman_a physician_n and_o shall_v every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o live_v according_a to_o their_o prescription_n what_o shall_v no_o potion_n no_o broth_n be_v take_v but_o what_o be_v prepare_v either_o in_o the_o vatican_n suppose_v or_o in_o a_o geneva_n shop_n or_o to_o make_v these_o subject_n rich_a shall_v they_o all_o be_v oblige_v by_o law_n to_o become_v merchant_n or_o musician_n or_o shall_v every_o one_o turn_v victualler_n or_o smith_n because_o there_o be_v some_o that_o maintain_v their_o family_n plentiful_o and_o grow_v rich_a in_o those_o profession_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v there_o be_v a_o thousand_o way_n to_o wealth_n but_o one_o only_a way_n to_o heaven_n it_o be_v well_o say_v indeed_o especial_o by_o those_o that_o plead_v for_o compel_a man_n into_o this_o or_o the_o other_o way_n for_o if_o there_o be_v several_a way_n that_o lead_v thither_o there_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o a_o pretence_n leave_v for_o compulsion_n but_o now_o if_o i_o be_v march_v on_o with_o my_o utmost_a vigour_n in_o that_o way_n which_o according_a to_o the_o sacred_a geography_n lead_v straight_o to_o jerusalem_n why_o be_o i_o beat_v and_o ill_o use_v by_o other_o because_o perhaps_o i_o wear_v not_o buskin_n because_o my_o hair_n be_v not_o of_o the_o right_n cut_v because_o perhaps_o i_o have_v not_o be_v dip_v in_o the_o right_a fashion_n because_o i_o eat_v flesh_n upon_o the_o road_n or_o some_o other_o food_n which_o agree_v with_o my_o stomach_n because_o i_o avoid_v certain_a byway_n which_o seem_v unto_o i_o to_o lead_v into_o briar_n or_o precipice_n because_o among_o the_o several_a path_n that_o be_v in_o the_o same_o road_n i_o choose_v that_o to_o walk_v in_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o straight_a and_o clean_a because_o i_o avoid_v to_o keep_v company_n with_o some_o traveller_n that_o be_v less_o grave_a and_o other_o that_o be_v more_o sour_a that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v or_o in_o fine_a because_o i_o follow_v a_o guide_n that_o either_o be_v or_o be_v not_o clothe_v in_o white_a and_o crown_v with_o a_o mitre_n certain_o if_o we_o consider_v right_a we_o shall_v find_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o be_v such_o frivolous_a thing_n as_o these_o that_o without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o religion_n or_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n if_o not_o accompany_v with_o superstition_n or_o hypocrisy_n may_v either_o be_v observe_v or_o omit_v i_o say_v they_o be_v such_o like_a thing_n as_o as_o these_o which_o breed_v implacable_a enmity_n among_o christian_a brethren_n who_o be_v all_o agree_v in_o the_o substantial_a and_o true_o fundamental_a part_n of_o religion_n but_o let_v we_o grant_v unto_o these_o zealot_n who_o condemn_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o mode_n that_o from_o these_o circumstance_n arise_v different_a ends._n what_o shall_v we_o conclude_v from_o thence_o there_o be_v only_o one_o of_o these_o which_o be_v the_o true_a way_n to_o eternal_a happiness_n but_o in_o this_o great_a variety_n of_o way_n that_o man_n follow_v it_o be_v still_o doubt_v which_o be_v this_o right_a one_o now_o neither_o the_o care_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n nor_o the_o right_n of_o enact_v law_n do_v discover_v this_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o heaven_n more_o certain_o to_o the_o magistrate_n than_o every_o private_a man_n search_n and_o study_n discover_v it_o unto_o himself_o i_o have_v a_o weak_a body_n sink_v under_o a_o languish_a disease_n for_o which_o i_o suppose_v there_o be_v one_o only_a remedy_n but_o that_o unknown_a do_v it_o therefore_o belong_v unto_o the_o magistrate_n to_o prescribe_v i_o a_o remedy_n because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o and_o because_o it_o be_v unknown_a because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n for_o i_o to_o escape_v death_n will_v it_o therefore_o be_v safe_a for_o i_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o the_o magistrate_n ordain_v those_o thing_n that_o every_o

peculiar_a possession_n of_o any_o one_o sort_n of_o men._n prince_n indeed_o be_v bear_v superior_a unto_o other_o man_n in_o power_n but_o in_o nature_n equal_a neither_o the_o right_n nor_o the_o art_n of_o ruling_n do_v necessary_o carry_v along_o with_o it_o the_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o other_o thing_n and_o least_o of_o all_o of_o the_o true_a religion_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o can_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v differ_v so_o vast_o as_o they_o do_v in_o religious_a matter_n but_o let_v we_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v probable_a the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n may_v be_v better_o know_v by_o a_o prince_n than_o by_o his_o subject_n or_o at_o least_o that_o in_o this_o incertitude_n of_o thing_n the_o safe_a and_o most_o commodious_a way_n for_o private_a person_n be_v to_o follow_v his_o dictate_v you_o will_v say_v what_o then_o if_o he_o shall_v bid_v you_o follow_v merchandise_n for_o your_o livelihood_n will_v you_o decline_v that_o course_n for_o fear_v it_o shall_v not_o succeed_v i_o answer_v i_o will_v turn_v merchant_n upon_o the_o prince_n command_n because_o in_o case_n i_o shall_v have_v ill_a success_n in_o trade_n he_o be_v abundant_o able_a to_o make_v up_o my_o loss_n some_o other_o way_n if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o he_o pretend_v that_o he_o desire_v i_o shall_v thrive_v and_o grow_v rich_a he_o can_v set_v i_o up_o again_o when_o unsuccessful_a voyage_n have_v break_v i_o but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o case_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o regard_v the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o there_o i_o take_v a_o wrong_a course_n if_o in_o that_o respect_n i_o be_o once_o undo_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o magistrate_n power_n to_o repair_v my_o loss_n to_o ease_v my_o suffer_v nor_o to_o

do_v not_o suppose_v this_o infallible_a judgement_n that_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o follow_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v in_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n but_o in_o the_o

or_o believe_v in_o the_o business_n of_o religion_n otherwise_o than_o the_o church_n teach_v so_o that_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o church_n the_o magistrate_n himself_o yield_v obedience_n thereunto_o and_o require_v the_o like_a obedience_n from_o other_o i_o answer_v who_o see_v not_o how_o frequent_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v so_o venerable_a in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o throw_v dust_n in_o people_n eye_n

each_o other_o their_o propriety_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o contribute_v to_o the_o comfort_n and_o happiness_n of_o this_o life_n leave_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o every_o man_n the_o care_n of_o his_o own_o eternal_a happiness_n the_o attainment_n whereof_o can_v neither_o be_v facilitated_a by_o another_o man_n industry_n nor_o can_v the_o loss_n of_o it_o turn_v to_o another_o man_n

the_o magistrate_n shall_v enjoin_v any_o thing_n by_o his_o authority_n that_o appear_v unlawful_a to_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o private_a person_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o government_n be_v faithful_o administer_v and_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v indeed_o direct_v to_o the_o public_a good_a this_o will_v seldom_o happen_v but_o if_o perhaps_o it_o do_v so_o fall_v out_o

as_o for_o example_n that_o the_o people_n or_o any_o party_n among_o they_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o embrace_v a_o strange_a religion_n and_o join_v in_o the_o worship_n and_o ceremony_n of_o another_o church_n man_n be_v not_o in_o these_o case_n oblige_v by_o that_o law_n against_o their_o conscience_n for_o the_o political_a society_n be_v institute_v for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o only_o to_o secure_v every_o man_n possession_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n the_o care_n of_o each_o man_n soul_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o heaven_n which_o neither_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n nor_o can_v be_v subject_v to_o it_o be_v leave_v entire_o to_o every_o man_n self_n thus_o the_o safeguard_n of_o man_n life_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v unto_o this_o life_n be_v the_o business_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o the_o preserve_n of_o those_o thing_n unto_o their_o owner_n be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o therefore_o the_o magistrate_n can_v take_v away_o these_o worldly_a thing_n from_o this_o man_n or_o party_n and_o give_v they_o to_o that_o nor_o change_v propriety_n among_o fellow-subject_n no_o not_o even_o by_o a_o law_n for_o a_o cause_n that_o have_v no_o relation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o civil_a government_n i_o mean_v for_o their_o religion_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a do_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o worldly_a concern_v of_o their_o fellow-subject_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o only_o belong_v unto_o the_o care_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n but_o what_o if_o the_o magistrate_n believe_v such_o a_o law_n as_o this_o to_o be_v for_o the_o public_a good_a i_o answer_v as_o the_o private_a judgement_n of_o any_o particular_a person_n if_o erroneous_a do_v not_o exempt_v he_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o law_n so_o the_o private_a judgement_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o of_o the_o magistrate_n do_v not_o give_v he_o any_o new_a right_n of_o impose_v law_n upon_o his_o ject_n which_o neither_o be_v in_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n grant_v he_o nor_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o people_n to_o grant_v much_o less_o if_o he_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o enrich_v and_o advance_v his_o follower_n and_o fellow-sectary_n with_o the_o spoil_n of_o other_o but_o what_o if_o the_o magistrate_n believe_v that_o he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o make_v such_o law_n and_o that_o they_o be_v for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o his_o subject_n believe_v the_o contrary_a who_o shall_v be_v judge_n between_o they_o i_o answer_v god_n alone_o for_o there_o be_v no_o judge_n upon_o earth_n between_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n and_o the_o people_n god_n i_o say_v be_v the_o only_a judge_n in_o this_o case_n who_o will_v retribute_v unto_o every_o one_o at_o the_o last_o day_n according_a to_o his_o desert_n that_o be_v according_a to_o his_o sincerity_n and_o uprightness_n in_o endeavour_v to_o promote_v piety_n and_o the_o public_a weal_n and_o peace_n of_o mankind_n but_o what_o shall_v be_v do_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n i_o answer_v the_o principal_a and_o chief_a care_n of_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o his_o own_o soul_n first_o and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n though_o yet_o there_o be_v very_o few_o will_v think_v it_o be_v peace_n there_o where_o they_o see_v all_o lay_v waste_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o contest_v among_o man_n the_o one_o manage_v by_o law_n the_o other_o by_o force_n and_o these_o be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o where_o the_o one_o end_n the_o other_o always_o begin_v but_o it_o be_v not_o my_o business_n to_o inquire_v into_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n in_o the_o different_a constitution_n of_o nation_n i_o only_o know_v what_o usual_o happen_v where_o controversy_n arise_v without_o a_o judge_n to_o determine_v they_o you_o will_v say_v then_o the_o magistrate_n be_v the_o strong_a will_v have_v his_o will_n and_o carry_v his_o point_n without_o doubt_n but_o the_o question_n be_v not_o here_o concern_v the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o event_n but_o the_o rule_n of_o right_n but_o to_o come_v to_o particular_n i_o say_v first_o no_o opinion_n contrary_a to_o human_a society_n or_o to_o those_o moral_a rule_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o preservation_n of_o civil_a society_n be_v to_o be_v tolerate_v by_o the_o magistrate_n but_o of_o these_o indeed_o example_n in_o any_o church_n be_v rare_a for_o no_o sect_n can_v easy_o arrive_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o madness_n as_o that_o it_o shall_v think_v sit_v to_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n such_o thing_n as_o manifest_o undermine_v the_o foundation_n of_o society_n and_o be_v therefore_o condemn_v by_o the_o

the_o commonwealth_n be_v when_o man_n arrogate_v to_o themselves_o and_o to_o those_o of_o their_o own_o sect_n some_o peculiar_a prerogative_n cover_v over_o with_o a_o specious_a show_n of_o
