A54417	Samaritanism, or, A treatise of comprehending, compounding and tolerating several religions in one church demonstrating the equity, and necessity of the act and late vote of Parliament against non-conformists, from reason, the ancient church, and the opinions and practice of papists and Puritans now plotting and pleading for toleration.

schismatic_n no_o not_o their_o brethren_n the_o independent_o who_o they_o dare_v not_o call_v here_o tick_v and_o who_o have_v deserve_v so_o well_o at_o their_o hand_n which_o as_o yet_o they_o

consist_v in_o the_o error_n itself_o maintain_v man_n of_o our_o age_n and_o country_n have_v more_o of_o the_o formality_n of_o heretic_n than_o they_o who_o be_v direct_a heretic_n forasmuch_o as_o a_o heretic_n err_v in_o article_n of_o faith_n may_v be_v true_o say_v and_o allow_v to_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o what_o he_o though_o erroneous_o believe_v for_o be_v matter_n of_o faith_n they_o be_v proper_a object_n of_o conscience_n who_o sphere_n be_v good_a and_o evil._n but_o they_o who_o do_v not_o differ_v not_o dissent_v as_o they_o say_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n from_o
