for_o matter_n mere_o of_o religion_n and_o in_o particular_a for_o meet_v together_o mere_o for_o matter_n of_o religion_n doubtless_o their_o answer_n will_v have_v be_v give_v with_o one_o

for_o matter_n of_o mere_a religion_n grow_v sharp_a and_o high_a so_o that_o it_o be_v observe_v by_o our_o historian_n that_o upon_o one_o and_o the_o same_o day_n some_o who_o be_v profess_v

that_o very_a religion_n which_o those_o person_n profess_v by_o who_o those_o law_n be_v make_v yet_o true_a religion_n and_o true_a reason_n of_o state_n always_o keep_v those_o person_n from_o intend_v to_o have_v those_o law_n rigid_o and_o severe_o execute_v i_o will_v confirm_v this_o by_o one_o single_a instance_n of_o the_o high_a nature_n and_o that_o not_o in_o the_o best_a of_o time_n the_o last_o popish_a priest_n that_o be_v put_v to_o death_n in_o england_n for_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n be_v put_v to_o death_n in_o the_o time_n of_o cromwell_n i_o

acknowledge_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n it_o clear_o appear_v that_o those_o who_o be_v his_o judge_n do_v their_o utmost_a to_o preserve_v his_o life_n and_o to_o

so_o plead_v his_o life_n shall_v be_v safe_a and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o evidence_n which_o can_v prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o when_o the_o old_a man_n age_v about_o seventy_o two_o year_n will_v not_o be_v draw_v to_o deny_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o deny_v of_o his_o religion_n and_o that_o the_o court_n be_v compel_v to_o give_v judgement_n against_o he_o the_o magistrate_n who_o give_v the_o sentence_n be_v so_o drown_v in_o tear_n upon_o that_o sad_a occasion_n that_o it_o be_v long_o before_o he_o can_v pronounce_v the_o sentence_n which_o the_o law_n compel_v as_o he_o profess_v to_o give_v now_o i_o ask_v can_v it_o be_v presume_v that_o in_o those_o severe_a time_n against_o popery_n those_o who_o then_o sit_v upon_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n will_v or_o dare_v have_v proceed_v thus_o in_o a_o public_a out_o and_o make_v it_o their_o business_n so_o open_o so_o avowed_o to_o have_v save_v the_o life_n of_o a_o priest_n of_o that_o party_n if_o they_o have_v not_o well_o consider_v that_o the_o maker_n of_o those_o law_n and_o even_o cromwell_n who_o have_v then_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o government_n of_o these_o nation_n do_v not_o in_o truth_n intend_v a_o rigid_a and_o severe_a execution_n of_o those_o law_n which_o be_v for_o inflict_v pain_n and_o penalty_n for_o matter_n of_o mere_a religion_n but_o i_o think_v i_o need_v give_v no_o further_a instance_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o my_o opinion_n whosoever_o shall_v reflect_v upon_o the_o present_a genius_n of_o our_o whole_a nation_n and_o consider_v in_o what_o detestation_n all_o man_n have_v the_o execution_n of_o persecute_v law_n of_o matter_n of_o mere_a religion_n how_o public_o informer_n be_v abhor_v and_o discountenance_v when_o they_o labour_v to_o persecute_v any_o upon_o any_o such_o law_n will_v easy_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a nation_n in_o general_n be_v convince_v that_o those_o law_n be_v never_o any_o of_o they_o make_v with_o intention_n to_o have_v they_o rigid_o execute_v i_o have_v be_v tell_v and_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o our_o law_n that_o even_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o against_o reason_n be_v void_a in_o itself_o if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o methinks_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v i_o think_v we_o be_v very_o near_o the_o time_n wherein_o all_o our_o present_a law_n of_o this_o nature_n by_o which_o any_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v in_o any_o measure_n
