consider_v if_o it_o look_v christian_n and_o tender-like_a for_o man_n so_o to_o stand_v by_o in_o the_o lord_n cause_n and_o to_o let_v he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v for_o himself_o it_o be_v indeed_o

yet_o it_o be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n to_o make_v use_n of_o magistrate_n therein_o and_o thereby_o to_o honour_v they_o as_o he_o do_v of_o gideon_n in_o that_o same_o place_n 2._o consider_v if_o it_o look_v christianlike_a to_o give_v the_o devil_n equal_a access_n to_o follow_v his_o design_n with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o set_n up_o of_o his_o kingdom_n now_o absolute_a toleration_n do_v this_o and_o more_o because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o truth_n and_o there_o be_v many_o error_n and_o each_o of_o these_o have_v that_o same_o liberty_n and_o indemnity_n to_o say_v so_o that_o

hatred_n of_o error_n be_v there_o will_v be_v more_o effectual_a streatch_n of_o man_n power_n and_o place_n for_o restrain_v the_o same_o 4._o we_o may_v add_v this_o consideration_n that_o hitherto_o toleration_n of_o error_n and_o diversity_n of_o corrupt_a opinion_n have_v ever_o be_v look_v upon_o and_o make_v use_v of_o as_o a_o most_o subtle_a mean_v for_o undermine_v and_o
