A85519	The grand concernments of England ensured: viz. liberty of conscience, extirpation of popery, defence of property, easing of taxes, advance of trade, soveraign powers of Parliaments, reformation of religion, laws and liberties, indempnity, settlement, by a constant succession of free Parliaments, the only possible expedient to preserve us from ruine or slavery. The objections, answered; but more largely, that of a senate. With a sad expostulation, and some smart rebukes to the Army.		1659 (1659)	Wing G1492; Thomason E1001_6; ESTC R204729	70,399	77

go_v without_o that_o thing_n which_o we_o so_o much_o complain_v of_o and_o be_v indeed_o a_o real_a grievance_n that_o our_o commons_o in_o parliament_n be_v without_o power_n to_o do_v we_o good_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o negative_a voice_n over_o they_o be_v hereby_o sufficient_o redress_v and_o we_o may_v expect_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o if_o we_o will_v be_v so_o true_a to_o ourselves_o as_o to_o choose_v the_o best_a deserve_a patriot_n and_o most_o public_a spirit_a man_n to_o act_v for_o we_o i_o shall_v instance_n in_o three_o particular_n more_o that_o be_v the_o common_a

be_v reform_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n i_o do_v not_o dispute_v whether_o this_o be_v state_n policy_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v good_a christian_a prudence_n this_o come_v to_o be_v our_o interest_n not_o only_o as_o we_o have_v lift_v up_o our_o hand_n to_o the_o most_o high_a so_o to_o do_v which_o upon_o no_o account_n that_o i_o know_v can_v be_v dispense_v but_o as_o we_o expect_v god_n to_o bless_v we_o so_o it_o become_v our_o interest_n to_o glorify_v he_o by_o bear_v our_o witness_n to_o the_o truth_n without_o which_o it_o be_v most_o high_a presumption_n to_o expect_v his_o blessing_n especial_o since_o we_o profess_v ourselves_o christian_n it_o be_v sure_o our_o duty_n to_o glorify_v god_n by_o a_o public_a profession_n of_o our_o religion_n attest_v unto_o by_o the_o supreme_a authority_n such_o as_o the_o public_a vote_n of_o the_o nation_n shall_v judge_v to_o be_v most_o of_o divine_a authority_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a measure_n that_o the_o minor_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n by_o claim_v the_o benefit_n and_o right_n of_o serve_v god_n according_a to_o their_o conscience_n as_o tender_v spirit_v man_n shall_v deprive_v the_o ma●or_a part_n of_o that_o tenderness_n their_o conscience_n must_v needs_o oblige_v they_o to_o express_v to_o religion_n for_o if_o the_o minor_a part_n claim_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n shall_v debar_v the_o major_a part_n from_o a_o public_a profession_n of_o religion_n then_o the_o major_a part_n be_v bereave_v of_o their_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n by_o the_o minor_a which_o be_v most_o unequal_a as_o mr._n harrington_n have_v excellent_o well_o observe_v it_o be_v strange_a to_o i_o how_o any_o man_n shall_v

dissenter_n must_v be_v persecute_v which_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v admit_v yea_o i_o be_o bold_a to_o justify_v mr._n harrington_n in_o his_o 45_o aphorism_n that_o there_o may_v be_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n there_o must_v be_v a_o national_a religion_n it_o will_v then_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o a_o public_a ministry_n be_v encourage_v and_o maintain_v i_o have_v mr._n harrington_n my_o friend_n in_o this_o too_o aphorism_n 46._o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o national_a religion_n there_o must_v be_v a_o endow_v clergy_n and_o very_o he_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o this_o purpose_n of_o much_o concernment_n and_o unanswerable_a i_o will_v repeat_v some_o few_o aphorism_n 42._o where_o the_o major_a part_n be_v deprive_v of_o the_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n by_o the_o minor_a there_o they_o will_v deprive_v the_o minor_a of_o that_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n which_o they_o may_v otherwise_o enjoy_v apoh_o 43._o in_o israel_n there_o be_v a_o endow_v clergy_n or_o priesthood_n and_o a_o national_a religion_n under_o inspection_n of_o the_o magistrate_n whence_o the_o christian_o in_o apostolic_a time_n defray_v their_o own_o ministry_n can_v have_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n whereas_o if_o the_o christian_n by_o go_v about_o to_o take_v away_o tithe_n and_o abolish_v the_o national_a religion_n have_v endeavour_v to_o violate_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o unconverted_a jew_n these_o be_v far_o great_a in_o number_n must_v needs_o have_v take_v away_o the_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n from_o the_o christian_n aphor._n 44._o paul_n in_o athens_n can_v free_o and_o undisturbed_o convert_v dionysius_n and_o other_o therefore_o in_o athens_n there_o be_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n but_o if_o paul_n and_o he_o convert_v
