ableness_n or_o unreasonableness_n of_o our_o belief_n draw_v from_o scripture_n thus_o when_o man_n say_v they_o can_v believe_v such_o a_o particular_a point_n of_o divinity_n or_o they_o must_v dissent_v from_o any_o parricular_a way_n of_o divine_a worship_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o their_o understanding_n tell_v they_o that_o such_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n or_o such_o a_o way_n of_o worship_n be_v not_o consentaneous_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o when_o man_n say_v they_o believe_v and_o worship_n according_a to_o their_o conscience_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o they_o do_v both_o because_o their_o understanding_n conclude_v that_o they_o act_n according_a to_o god_n word_n thus_o conscience_n in_o matter_n of_o belief_n be_v pure_o a_o

convert_v man_n into_o statue_n you_o can_v never_o hinder_v its_o private_a and_o therefore_o when_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v concern_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v permit_v beside_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o every_o soul_n be_v only_o the_o empire_n of_o heaven_n &_o god_n almighty_n have_v set_v conscience_n there_o as_o he_o have_v place_v particular_a king_n in_o their_o

the_o lord_n of_o light_n and_o he_o only_o can_v incline_v the_o heart_n who_o make_v it_o and_o therefore_o to_o pretend_v to_o bestow_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v to_o usurp_v the_o prerogative_n of_o heaven_n no_o this_o gift_n of_o god_n can_v no_o more_o be_v confer_v by_o penal_a law_n and_o take_v away_o money_n than_o that_o which_o simon_n hope_v to_o enjoy_v by_o give_v money_n
