dangerous_a but_o if_o this_o be_v so_o why_o be_v not_o the_o magistrate_n afraid_a of_o his_o own_o church_n and_o why_o do_v he_o not_o forbid_v their_o assembly_n as_o thing_n dangerous_a to_o

much_o less_o in_o another_o the_o use_n of_o any_o rite_n or_o ceremony_n whatsoever_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god._n and_o this_o not_o only_o because_o these_o church_n be_v free_a society_n but_o because_o whatsoever_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v only_o so_o far_o justifiable_a as_o it_o be_v believe_v by_o those_o that_o practise_v it_o to_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o do_v with_o that_o assurance_n of_o faith_n be_v neither_o well_o in_o itself_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god._n to_o impose_v such_o thing_n therefore_o upon_o any_o people_n contrary_a to_o their_o own_o judgement_n be_v in_o effect_n to_o command_v they_o to_o offend_v god_n which_o consider_v that_o the_o end_n of_o all_o religion_n be_v to_o please_v he_o and_o that_o liberty_n be_v essential_o necessary_a to_o that_o end_n appear_v to_o be_v absurd_a beyond_o expression_n but_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o i_o deny_v unto_o the_o magistrate_n all_o manner_n of_o power_n about_o indifferent_a thing_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o grant_v the_o whole_a subject-matter_n of_o law-making_a be_v

that_o the_o magistrate_n may_v ordain_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v concern_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v indifferent_a the_o public_a good_a be_v the_o rule_n and_o measure_n of_o all_o law-making_a if_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o useful_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n though_o it_o it_o be_v never_o so_o indifferent_a it_o may_v not_o present_o be_v establish_v by_o law._n and_o further_o thing_n

jurisdiction_n because_o in_o that_o use_n they_o have_v no_o connection_n at_o all_o with_o civil_a affair_n the_o only_a business_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n and_o it_o

any_o ceremony_n in_o those_o religious_a assembly_n do_v either_o advantage_n or_o prejudice_v the_o life_n liberty_n or_o estate_n of_o any_o man._n for_o example_n let_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o wash_n of_o a_o infant_n with_o water_n be_v in_o itself_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n let_v it_o be_v grant_v also_o that_o if_o the_o magistrate_n understand_v such_o wash_n to_o be_v

in_o that_o case_n he_o may_v order_v it_o to_o be_v do_v but_o will_v any_o one_o therefore_o say_v that_o a_o magistrate_n have_v the_o same_o right_n to_o ordain_v by_o law_n that_o all_o child_n shall_v be_v baptize_v by_o priest_n in_o the_o sacred_a font_n in_o order_n to_o the_o purification_n of_o their_o soul_n the_o extreme_a difference_n of_o these_o two_o case_n be_v visible_a to_o every_o one_o at_o first_o sight_n or_o let_v we_o apply_v the_o last_o case_n to_o the_o child_n of_o a_o jew_n and_o the_o thing_n speak_v itself_o for_o what_o hinder_v but_o a_o christian_a magistrate_n may_v have_v subject_n that_o be_v jew_n now_o if_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o such_o a_o injury_n may_v not_o be_v do_v unto_o a_o jew_n as_o to_o compel_v he_o against_o his_o own_o opinion_n to_o practise_v in_o his_o religion_n a_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o its_o nature_n indifferent_a how_o can_v we_o maintain_v that_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n may_v be_v do_v to_o a_o

because_o they_o be_v indifferent_a for_o since_o indifferent_a thing_n be_v not_o capable_a by_o any_o virtue_n of_o their_o own_o to_o propitiate_v the_o deity_n no_o human_a power_n or_o

thing_n which_o god_n have_v not_o forbid_v be_v free_a and_o lawful_a and_o therefore_o in_o those_o thing_n human_a authority_n have_v place_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n thing_n indifferent_a be_v not_o otherwise_o lawful_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n than_o as_o they_o be_v institute_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o as_o he_o by_o some_o positive_a

incense_a deity_n shall_v ask_v we_o who_o have_v require_v these_o or_o such_o like_a thing_n at_o our_o hand_n will_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o answer_v he_o that_o the_o magistrate_n command_v they_o if_o civil_a jurisdiction_n extend_v thus_o far_o what_o may_v not_o lawful_o be_v introduce_v into_o religion_n what_o hodgepodge_n of_o ceremony_n what_o superstitious_a invention_n build_v upon_o the_o magistrate_n authority_n may_v not_o against_o conscience_n be_v impose_v upon_o the_o worshipper_n of_o god_n for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o these_o ceremony_n and_o superstion_n consist_v in_o the_o religious_a use_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a nor_o be_v they_o sinful_a upon_o any_o other_o account_n than_o because_o god_n be_v not_o the_o

institution_n if_o any_o human_a authority_n or_o civil_a power_n can_v have_v do_v this_o why_o may_v it_o not_o also_o enjoin_v the_o eat_n of_o fish_n and_o drink_v of_o ale_n in_o the_o holy_a

be_v as_o abominable_a to_o god_n as_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o a_o dog._n and_o why_o a_o dog_n so_o abominable_a what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o a_o dog_n and_o a_o goat_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n equal_o and_o infinite_o distant_a from_o all_o affinity_n with_o matter_n unless_o it_o be_v that_o god_n require_v the_o use_n of_o the_o one_o in_o his_o worship_n
