with_o all_o your_o skill_n tie_v up_o a_o future_a popish_a parliament_n i_o mean_v king_n and_o parliament_n 14._o be_v not_o a_o immutable_a humane_a law_n a_o monster_n in_o nature_n and_o do_v

force_n or_o any_o other_o way_n save_v only_o by_o a_o toleration_n 18._o if_o all_o sect_n have_v full_a liberty_n and_o one_o sect_n have_v all_o the_o favour_n and_o preferment_n will_v not_o that_o sect_n soon_o outgrow_a and_o overtop_n the_o rest_n and_o will_v not_o all_o that_o be_v in_o office_n and_o all_o that_o expect_v or_o desire_v to_o be_v that_o be_v almost_o all_o the_o man_n of_o part_n and_o industry_n in_o the_o nation_n have_v a_o strong_a temptation_n to_o be_v of_o that_o sect_n 19_o can_v you_o inform_v we_o of_o any_o government_n either_o past_a or_o present_a wherein_o there_o be_v not_o some_o qualification_n require_v by_o law_n for_o those_o that_o take_v public_a office_n and_o employment_n which_o thing_n you_o call_v trammel_n and_o cramp_v

who_o he_o please_v and_o mahometan_n among_o the_o rest_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v inherent_a in_o his_o person_n and_o may_v you_o not_o far_o say_v that_o mahometan_a or_o turkish_a subject_n may_v be_v very_o useful_a to_o a_o prince_n and_o that_o it_o be_v very_o unreasonable_a by_o such_o pernicious_a religious_a test_n to_o deprive_v he_o of_o their_o service_n
