will_v never_o endure_v a_o liberty_n of_o this_o latitude_n for_o neither_o will_v any_o christian_a church_n that_o ever_o be_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n endure_v it_o for_o it_o will_v be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o overrule_v both_o of_o law_n and_o gospel_n and_o the_o destroy_v of_o religion_n itself_o as_o well_o as_o christianity_n at_o a_o blow_n now_o if_o a_o liberty_n in_o

speak_v of_o be_v a_o allowable_a liberty_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o liberty_n total_o depend_v upon_o the_o political_a judgement_n of_o the_o sovereign_a magistrate_n whether_o to_o grant_v it_o or_o not_o how_o far_o in_o what_o case_n to_o what_o party_n under_o what_o limitation_n of_o time_n or_o condition_n but_o whether_o allowable_a or_o not_o allowable_a protestant_n it_o seem_v may_v set_v up_o their_o rest_n upon_o it_o that_o heretic_n be_v to_o expect_v no_o quarter_n no_o liberty_n from_o papist_n nay_o our_o author_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o they_o esteem_v themselves_o
