people_n may_v be_v encourage_v either_o to_o despise_v the_o one_o or_o to_o resist_v the_o other_o and_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o peculiar_a glory_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o she_o and_o no_o other_o church_n but_o she_o have_v plain_o and_o positive_o declare_v unto_o the_o world_n without_o if_z or_o and_o be_v or_o any_o other_o clause_n or_o word_n of_o exception_n or_o reservation_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o subject_n several_o or_o joint_o or_o in_o any_o capacity_n whatsoever_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n or_o to_o join_v with_o any_o that_o do_v take_v up_o arm_n either_o offensive_a or_o defensive_a against_o sovereign_a authority_n or_o without_o commission_n from_o sovereign_a authority_n in_o any_o case_n for_o any_o cause_n or_o upon_o any_o either_o pretend_a or_o real_a provocation_n and_o least_o of_o all_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n because_o that_o be_v in_o terminis_fw-la or_o in_o plain_a term_n to_o contradict_v the_o apostle_n in_o my_o text_n by_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o confusion_n and_o not_o of_o peace_n for_o what_o peace_n can_v there_o be_v among_o christian_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o subject_n to_o rise_v up_o or_o to_o conspire_v against_o their_o sovereign_n for_o defend_v or_o introduce_v of_o that_o which_o they_o call_v or_o think_v to_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n for_o every_o man_n and_o sect_n of_o man_n take_v their_o own_o religion_n to_o be_v the_o true_a otherwise_o they_o will_v not_o nay_o they_o can_v not_o in_o earnest_n be_v of_o it_o themselves_o so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o subject_n to_o take_v arm_n or_o to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o state_n or_o present_a government_n for_o that_o which_o they_o think_v to_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n all_o state_n and_o kingdom_n must_v needs_o be_v always_o embroil_v in_o civil_a war_n because_o there_o be_v no_o state_n or_o kingdom_n but_o it_o have_v some_o i_o be_o sure_o we_o have_v many_o of_o several_a religion_n in_o it_o who_o may_v all_o as_o well_o as_o any_o take_v arm_n upon_o this_o account_n against_o their_o sovereign_n who_o can_v be_v but_o of_o one_o religion_n himself_o if_o it_o be_v reply_v that_o though_o the_o sovereign_n can_v be_v but_o of_o one_o religion_n himself_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o toleration_n give_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o confess_v there_o may_v be_v so_o but_o not_o without_o extreme_a hazard_n as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v both_o to_o the_o religion_n and_o person_n of_o the_o sovereign_n it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o of_o all_o religion_n cry_v out_o for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n until_o they_o themselves_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o sovereign_a power_n and_o then_o they_o will_v give_v none_o to_o other_o witness_v the_o practice_n of_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n during_o queen_n mary_n reign_n here_o in_o england_n and_o at_o this_o day_n in_o spain_n and_o italy_n and_o wheresoever_o else_o the_o romish_a religion_n be_v in_o its_o full_a power_n witness_v likewise_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o several_a sectary_n in_o their_o several_a turn_n of_o govern_v in_o the_o late_a change_n here_o at_o home_n when_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o that_o do_v not_o or_o will_v not_o have_v suppress_v all_o other_o sect_n but_o their_o own_o as_o much_o as_o they_o do_v if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o their_o power_n the_o best_a and_o safe_a way_n therefore_o for_o prince_n state_n and_o people_n be_v to_o profess_v protect_v cherish_v and_o allow_v of_o that_o religion_n and_o that_o only_a which_o allow_v of_o no_o rise_n up_o against_o or_o resist_v sovereign_a power_n no_o not_o in_o its_o own_o defence_n nor_o upon_o any_o other_o account_n whatsoever_o which_o most_o christian_n and_o most_o orthodox_n profession_n if_o those_o of_o the_o romish_a and_o those_o of_o other_o perswafion_n that_o live_v among_o we_o but_o be_v not_o of_o

it_o will_v perhaps_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o live_v peaceable_o and_o charitable_o and_o secure_o together_o without_o fear_n or_o jealousy_n of_o one_o another_o which_o will_v be_v a_o

christian_n may_v through_o the_o powerful_a inspiration_n and_o operation_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n be_v bring_v to_o agree_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o to_o live_v together_o in_o unity_n and_o godly_a love_n that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o heresy_n nor_o no_o more_o schism_n no_o more_o sect_n nor_o no_o more_o faction_n no_o more_o controversy_n nor_o no_o

adorn_v our_o holy_a profession_n by_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o conversation_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v no_o long_o christian_n in_o name_n only_o but_o in_o deed_n amen_n finis_fw-la the_o
