A80794 A learned and exceeding well-compiled vindication of liberty of religion: written by Junius Brutus in Latine, and translated into English by N.Y. who desires, as much as in him is, to do good unto all men: wherein these three following propositions are undenyably proved, and all objections to the contrary fully answered. 1. That if magistrates, in case of necessity, promise hereticks liberty of religion; they are bound to performe their promise after that necessity ceaseth. 2 That magistrates may with a safe conscience grant hereticks liberty of religion, and oblige themselves by an oath, or bond of assurance, to provide for their safety and security. 3. That magistrates ought to grant hereticks liberty of religion, and to oblige themselves by an oath, or bond of assurance, to provide for their safety and security.; Vindiciae pro religionis libertate. English. Crell, Johann, 1590-1633.; N. Y. translator. 1646 (1646) Wing C6879; Thomason E1178_4; ESTC R208101 37,701 85

but_o if_o there_o be_v such_o who_o think_v they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a lest_o they_o be_v pluck_v up_o by_o the_o tare_n because_o of_o their_o multitude_n and_o strength_n establish_v by_o the_o course_n of_o so_o many_o age_n wherewith_o they_o may_v overcome_v their_o adversary_n in_o religion_n they_o ought_v for_o that_o very_a thing_n to_o suspect_v themselves_o

in_o such_o a_o barren_a field_n for_o virtue_n and_o lest_o they_o may_v chance_v to_o stray_v from_o the_o narrow_a &_o straight_a path_n of_o salvation_n which_o few_o find_v ou●_n for_o thus_o say_v our_o saviour_n enter_v you_o in_o at_o the_o straight_a gate_n for_o it_o be_v the_o wide_a gate_n and_o broad_a way_n that_o lead_v to_o destruction_n and_o many_o there_o be_v which_o go_v

of_o humane_a affair_n shall_v be_v consider_v who_o do_v not_o see_v that_o thing_n of_o the_o high_a degree_n be_v oftentimes_o ●umbled_v down_o and_o bring_v low_a and_o thing_n of_o low_a degree_n

therefore_o there_o be_v no_o great_a wisdom_n than_o by_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o householder_n to_o stay_v till_o the_o last_o harvest_n when_o both_o without_o any_o danger_n of_o error_n and_o

nevertheless_o use_v violence_n then_o at_o length_n the_o wheat_n scatter_v by_o violence_n will_v spread_v abroad_o his_o seed_n the_o far_o and_o come_v forth_o more_o abundant_o the_o tare_n be_v by_o little_a and_o little_o suppress_v until_o the_o harvest_n at_o last_o bring_v a_o total_a destruction_n upon_o they_o but_o some_o catholic_a will_v allege_v suppose_v it_o be_v so_o that_o
