A49524	The reformed Presbyterian, humbly offering to the consideration of all pious and peaceable spirits several arguments for obedience to the act for unifromity, as the way to vnity and endeavouring to demonstrate by clear inferences from the sacred scriptures, the writings of some of the ancients, or several old pastors of the reformed churches abroad, and of the most eminent old non-conformists amongst ourselves : as Mr. Josias Nichols, Mr. Paul Baines, and other learned divines : as for Mr. Perkins, Mr. Iohn Randal, and Mr. Rob. Bolton, that there is nothing required by the act for vniformity that is forbidden by the law of God / by Rich. Lytler ...	Lytler, Richard.	1662 (1662)	Wing L3573; ESTC R1525	139,662	290

unlawful_a for_o when_o it_o become_v impossible_a than_o we_o must_v safe_o think_v that_o god_n from_o heaven_n free_v a_o man_n from_o his_o oath_n which_o i_o think_v also_o be_v considerable_a in_o this_o case_n and_o say_v he_o when_o it_o do_v begin_v to_o be_v unlawful_a than_o it_o cease_v to_o bind_v because_o the_o bind_a virtue_n be_v only_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o

now_o begin_v to_o grow_v unlawful_a because_o that_o the_o word_n do_v forbid_v resistance_n of_o the_o power_n that_o be_v over_o we_o and_o do_v require_v obedience_n of_o we_o for_o conscience_n
