A80794 A learned and exceeding well-compiled vindication of liberty of religion: written by Junius Brutus in Latine, and translated into English by N.Y. who desires, as much as in him is, to do good unto all men: wherein these three following propositions are undenyably proved, and all objections to the contrary fully answered. 1. That if magistrates, in case of necessity, promise hereticks liberty of religion; they are bound to performe their promise after that necessity ceaseth. 2 That magistrates may with a safe conscience grant hereticks liberty of religion, and oblige themselves by an oath, or bond of assurance, to provide for their safety and security. 3. That magistrates ought to grant hereticks liberty of religion, and to oblige themselves by an oath, or bond of assurance, to provide for their safety and security.; Vindiciae pro religionis libertate. English. Crell, Johann, 1590-1633.; N. Y. translator. 1646 (1646) Wing C6879; Thomason E1178_4; ESTC R208101 37,701 85

worshipper_n of_o false_a god_n it_o may_v be_v add_v for_o a_o further_a proof_n that_o they_o which_o in_o old_a time_n seduce_v the_o people_n from_o the_o true_a god_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o false_a god_n or_o fall_v off_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n to_o it_o can_v not_o but_o know_v that_o they_o do_v that_o which_o be_v against_o the_o express_a law_n of_o god_n because_o the_o law_n of_o god_n enact_v against_o that_o matter_n be_v so_o clear_a and_o manifest_a that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o meaning_n thereof_o but_o they_o which_o now_o a_o day_n pass_v for_o

in_o religion_n wherefore_o those_o false_a prophet_n and_o apostate_n also_o be_v in_o far_o great_a fault_n than_o heretic_n of_o this_o age_n be_v and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o forthwith_o

of_o all_o all_o man_n know_v that_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o moses_n do_v not_o bind_v christian_n of_o which_o sort_n they_o be_v which_o command_v a_o false_a prophet_n or_o a_o apostate_n fall_v to_o idolatry_n to_o be_v destroy_v that_o true_o these_o law_n of_o which_o we_o now_o discourse_v do_v not_o oblige_v we_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v from_o thence_o that_o in_o all_o the_o new_a

but_o if_o there_o be_v such_o who_o think_v they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a lest_o they_o be_v pluck_v up_o by_o the_o tare_n because_o of_o their_o multitude_n and_o strength_n

in_o such_o a_o barren_a field_n for_o virtue_n and_o lest_o they_o may_v chance_v to_o stray_v from_o the_o narrow_a &_o straight_a path_n of_o salvation_n which_o few_o find_v ou●_n for_o thus_o
