for_o more_o than_o what_o scripture_n and_o reason_n have_v make_v certain_a that_o the_o necessary_a and_o certain_a thing_n be_v very_o few_o and_o the_o remover_n doctrine_n difficult_a and_o

that_o we_o ourselves_o make_v upon_o our_o neighbour_n as_o his_o opinion_n both_o these_o be_v very_o common_a and_o the_o spite_n and_o injustice_n of_o they_o do_v exceed_o exasperate_v our_o

any_o now_o shall_v ask_v i_o whether_o this_o doctrine_n of_o universal_a love_n do_v not_o tend_v to_o universal_a toleration_n i_o shall_v answer_v that_o thus_o far_o it_o do_v viz._n that_o all_o private_a person_n shall_v tolerate_v each_o other_o and_o bear_v with_o their_o brother_n infirmity_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v allow_v another_o that_o liberty_n which_o he_o desire_v himself_o in_o thing_n wherein_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o land_n have_v leave_v he_o free_a and_o permit_v he_o his_o own_o opinion_n without_o censure_n or_o displeasure_n such_o a_o toleration_n i_o think_v christianity_n require_v in_o private_a man_n but_o as_o to_o the_o public_a i_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n think_v it_o modest_a for_o we_o to_o determine_v what_o the_o government_n shall_v do_v and_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v as_o unfit_a as_o in_o any_o whatsoever_o since_o this_o matter_n depend_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o so_o many_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v very_o difficult_a 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 any_o of_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v expect_v for_o christianity_n and_o all_o other_o consideration_n oblige_v the_o government_n to_o provide_v for_o the_o common_a good_n and_o be_v the_o duty_n 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 a_o large_a public_a toleration_n than_o possible_o now_o be_v fit_a in_o the_o mean_a while_n without_o trouble_v ourselves_o with_o fancy_n about_o the_o duty_n of_o our_o governor_n let_v we_o
