all_o thing_n relate_v to_o his_o worship_n for_o these_o reason_n follow_v 1._o because_o the_o general_n and_o universal_a royal_a law_n of_o christ_n command_v it_o matth._n 7._o 12._o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o you_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v do_v to_o you_o do_v you_o even_o so_o to_o they_o for_o this_o be_v the_o law_n and_o prophet_n that_o which_o every_o man_n will_v have_v and_o receive_v from_o another_o he_o ought_v by_o christ_n rule_n to_o give_v and_o allow_v it_o to_o another_o but_o every_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o have_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n therefore_o aught_o to_o allow_v it_o to_o another_o 2._o because_o no_o man_n can_v persuade_v the_o conscience_n of_o another_o either_o what_o god_n be_v or_o how_o he_o shall_v be_v worship_v but_o by_o the_o spirit_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o instruct_v man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n 3._o because_o all_o obedience_n or_o service_n that_o be_v obtain_v by_o force_n be_v for_o fear_n of_o wrath_n and_o not_o from_o love_n nor_o for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o therefore_o will_v but_o continue_v so_o long_o as_o that_o fear_n or_o force_n abide_v upon_o they_o 4._o because_o that_o by_o force_v no_o man_n can_v make_v a_o hypocrite_n to_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a many_o may_v be_v make_v hypocrite_n 5._o because_o that_o in_o all_o force_a imposition_n upon_o man_n conscience_n there_o be_v something_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n exercise_v which_o work_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n burr_n rather_o beget_v enmity_n in_o the_o heart_n one_o towards_o another_o 6._o because_o that_o by_o force_v any_o thing_n upon_o man_n conscience_n as_o to_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o worship_n many_o be_v harden_v in_o their_o heart_n against_o the_o thing_n impose_v when_o as_o otherwise_o through_o love_n and_o gentle_a instruction_n their_o heart_n may_v be_v persuade_v to_o willing_a obedience_n 7._o because_o that_o persecution_n for_o conscience_n contradict_v christ_n charge_n matth._n 13._o who_o bid_v that_o the_o tare_n or_o false_a worshipper_n be_v suffer_v to_o grow_v together_o in_o the_o field_n or_o world_n till_o the_o harvest_n or_o end_v of_o the_o world_n 8._o because_o force_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v use_v viz._n the_o preservation_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o wheat_n which_o end_n be_v not_o answer_v by_o persecution_n because_o the_o wheat_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v pluck_v up_o thereby_o as_o christ_n say_v 9_o because_o to_o force_v be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o jew_n conversion_n and_o other_o false_a worshipper_n which_o be_v pray_v for_o by_o the_o public_a teacher_n and_o can_v be_v attain_v if_o persecution_n for_o conscience_n be_v prosecute_v 10._o because_o they_o that_o impose_v upon_o man_n conscience_n exercise_v dominion_n over_o man_n faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n deny_v say_v they_o have_v not_o dominion_n over_o any_o man_n faith_n 11._o because_o imposition_n upon_o man_n conscience_n necessitate_v they_o to_o sin_n in_o yield_v a_o conformity_n contrary_n to_o their_o own_o faith_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o a_o man_n own_o faith_n be_v sin_n 12._o because_o that_o imposition_n and_o force_n wrestle_v with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o carnal_a weapon_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n who_o say_v our_o weapon_n be_v not_o carnal_a but_o spiritual_a and_o mighty_a through_o god_n and_o we_o wrestle_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n 13._o because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o judge_n lawgiver_n and_o king_n in_o and_o over_o the_o conscience_n as_o the_o saint_n have_v testify_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o whosoever_o will_v intrude_v so_o as_o to_o be_v judge_n and_o lawgiver_n over_o the_o conscience_n intrench_v upon_o the_o prerogative_n of_o christ_n isa._n 33._o 22._o james_n 4._o 12._o 14._o because_o it_o be_v prophesy_v in_o isa._n 11._o the_o wolf_n shall_v dwell_v with_o the_o lamb_n and_o the_o leopard_n shall_v lie_v down_o with_o the_o kid_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o destroyer_n in_o all_o he_o holy_a mountain_n and_o therefore_o no_o imposition_n upon_o man_n conscience_n 15._o because_o to_o impose_v upon_o man_n conscience_n for_o difference_n in_o faith_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o direct_v people_n to_o wait_v upon_o god_n to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o not_o to_o the_o magistrate_n or_o other_o to_o be_v force_v who_o say_v whereunto_o we_o have_v attain_v let_v we_o walk_v and_o wherein_o any_o man_n be_v otherwise-minded_n god_n shall_v reveal_v even_o that_o unto_o he_o 16._o because_o to_o force_v man_n conscience_n and_o to_o lay_v yoke_n upon_o they_o be_v to_o make_v void_a the_o bloodshed_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n who_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o conscience_n and_o give_v libeyty_n there_o and_o command_v we_o to_o stand_v fast_o in_o that_o liberty_n and_o not_o to_o be_v entangle_v through_o the_o imposition_n of_o man_n or_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n gal._n 5._o 6._o 17._o because_o in_o all_o nation_n the_o different_a profession_n and_o persuasion_n of_o religion_n be_v either_o friend_n or_o enemy_n to_o the_o governor_n if_o friend_n then_o oblige_v by_o that_o bond._n if_o enemy_n then_o christ_n command_n be_v to_o take_v place_n who_o say_v love_v your_o enemy_n which_o if_o observe_v persecution_n for_o conscience_n will_v be_v avoid_v 18._o because_o toleration_n of_o different_a persuasion_n in_o religion_n be_v allow_v in_o the_o jewish_a state_n as_o not_o inconsistent_a with_o their_o safety_n and_o that_o in_o thing_n contrary_a each_o to_o other_o as_o the_o sadducee_n pharisee_n essaean_o herodian_o with_o other_o 19_o because_o the_o true_a religion_n can_v be_v preach_v up_o by_o force_n of_o arm_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n detest_v that_o form_n of_o proceed_n 20._o because_o no_o man_n have_v such_o power_n over_o the_o soul_n and_o conscience_n of_o other_o man_n as_o to_o lay_v a_o necessity_n on_o they_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v or_o not_o to_o believe_v what_o they_o do_v believe_v true_a faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n 21._o because_o if_o the_o magistrate_n impose_v upon_o the_o conscience_n he_o must_v either_o do_v it_o as_o a_o magistrate_n or_o as_o a_o christian._n not_o as_o a_o magistrate_n for_o then_o heathen_n be_v magistrate_n have_v the_o same_o power_n to_o impose_v and_o so_o by_o revolution_n and_o conquest_n may_v come_v to_o give_v law_n to_o christian_n and_o compel_v they_o to_o idolatry_n 2._o not_o as_o christian_n for_o that_o contradict_v christ_n saying_n the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n exercise_v lordship_n over_o they_o but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o for_o all_o you_o be_v brethren_n 22._o because_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o reason_n that_o the_o magistrate_n of_o one_o nation_n ought_v to_o impose_v upon_o and_o persecute_v for_o conscience_n the_o magistrate_n in_o all_o other_o nation_n ought_v to_o do_v the_o same_o and_o so_o the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n may_v come_v to_o be_v destroy_v there_o be_v more_o that_o dissent_n than_o be_v at_o unity_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o
