with_o other_o name_n and_o go_v on_o with_o their_o serpent_n viper_n filthy_a beast_n dog_n and_o such_o name_n as_o these_o innocent_a meek_a one_o please_v to_o give_v we_o the_o magistrate_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n clap_v all_o side_n on_o the_o back_n only_o hold_v a_o sword_n between_o they_o to_o keep_v they_o asunder_o and_o who_o can_v expect_v but_o these_o two_o sea_n shall_v in_o

out_o of_o bondage_n ourselves_o what_o a_o tyranny_n be_v it_o to_o bereave_v man_n of_o that_o precious_a freedom_n which_o be_v purchase_v for_o they_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v

that_o gevernment_n be_v in_o vain_a appoint_v if_o man_n may_v do_v and_o speak_v what_o they_o please_v under_o it_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o execution_n of_o justice_n and_o persecution_n that_o christ_n blood_n be_v shed_v to_o make_v we_o free_a to_o good_a not_o free_a to_o evil_n that_o christianity_n diminish_v not_o the_o just_a right_n of_o any_o lawful_a

be_v why_o may_v not_o they_o plead_v this_o freedom_n of_o conscience_n upon_o the_o same_o ground_n as_o evil_a doer_n plead_v it_o that_o they_o may_v go_v unpunished_a if_o magistrate_n omit_v a_o know_a duty_n they_o wound_v their_o conscience_n if_o the_o evil_a doer_n suppose_v the_o well_o doer_n suffer_v under_o the_o mistake_n of_o magistrate_n his_o conscience_n be_v not_o present_o wound_v here_o who_o then_o shall_v rather_o of_o the_o two_o be_v provide_v for_o that_o a_o liberty_n to_o obey_v god_n without_o fear_n of_o man_n be_v a_o choice_n mercy_n not_o so_o a_o liberty_n to_o disobey_v god_n that_o when_o magistrate_n lay_v more_o upon_o man_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n than_o god_n have_v command_v there_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o jewel_n but_o where_o they_o lay_v no_o more_o than_o thing_n necessary_a not_o so_o when_o they_o can_v say_v true_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n no_o great_a harm_n if_o and_o to_o we_o follow_v no_o not_o from_o they_o that_o it_o be_v a_o more_o fearful_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god_n then_o of_o a_o mortal_a man_n and_o that_o if_o we_o do_v judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v we_o know_v the_o story_n the_o mother_n seasonable_a and_o sharp_a correct_v her_o son_n may_v have_v prevent_v her_o unprofitable_a weep_v for_o he_o when_o she_o see_v he_o at_o the_o gallow_n therefore_o that_o the_o allow_v every_o man_n to_o worship_n god_n peaceable_o in_o his_o own_o way_n become_v they_o only_o that_o suppose_v every_o man_n may_v be_v save_v in_o his_o own_o religion_n live_v orderly_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o and_o to_o such_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n owe_v little_a if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o be_v better_o be_v for_o mahomet_n for_o his_o rule_n afford_v great_a liberty_n than_o christ_n do_v but_o we_o be_v as_o much_o heretic_n in_o their_o eye_n as_o they_o be_v in_o we_o it_o appear_v so_o indeed_o by_o the_o language_n they_o vouchsafe_v we_o but_o the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o either_o side_n be_v name_v but_o how_o just_o the_o prince_n be_v as_o much_o a_o tyrant_n in_o the_o assassinate_v

of_o god_n as_o we_o do_v to_o our_o own_o but_o such_o thing_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n thing_n whereof_o we_o speak_v be_v only_o contrary_a to_o reveal_v light_n the_o
