to_o state_n the_o bound_n of_o just_a permission_n and_o restraint_n leave_v that_o therefore_o to_o their_o prudence_n who_o providence_n have_v call_v to_o determine_v in_o it_o i_o shall_v only_o say_v that_o so_o much_o toleration_n as_o may_v consist_v with_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n and_o public_a safety_n may_v be_v grant_v but_o such_o a_o liberty_n as_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o

of_o catholic_n charity_n due_o practise_v and_o private_a christian_n once_o persuade_v to_o tolerate_v one_o another_o it_o may_v then_o perhaps_o be_v safe_a for_o the_o government_n to_o give_v
