before
they
are
amar may
make others
fuf e, for
righteortfnefr.
but
would have all kind
of
things.
to be fuífered
;
But
now
the
Lord
judge
in
this
cafe,
in this
wrong
unto
fuch
men,
tháthe-
caufe
they
onely
plead for
no
further
furfering
a
Toleration
but
in
this
cafe
where men
can
no way,
either
by the
horrible
-
ne1e
in
the fast,
in
their
opinions,
or
by
the
turbulency
and
pride,
and infolency
of their
carriage be
convinc't to erre
through
wantonneflè and
flubbornnetfe;
there
they
fay
that
there thould be
a
forbearance
;
tut
now
to think that
all kind
of
things
fhould
be
tolerated,
all kind
ofblafphemy tolerated
;
this
is
a
moil infinite
wrong, and whofoever bath been guilty
of
this,
to
charge
it
upon
them,
Purely
there
is
much
guilt up.
'on fuch
for
this,
and
if
God
gives them
not hearts
to
repent of
k,
it
will
be
requir'd of
them another
day.
--
But
now
this
is
all
that
is
pleaded for, That
all
thole men that agree
with
us
both in
dottrine
and
worfhip that
is
fundamentall,and
all
thefe
that carry themfelves in a peaceable
humble and
meek
way,
that thefe
thould
have
forbearance from
their Brethren;
now
what peace will this hinder among
us
?
why may not,
we live
and injoy
one
another,
and
never
have
fuch
termes one
againfl
another,either
that
one would have
all
things
futfered, or
that
others are perfecutors
becaufe
they
will
not
fuffer
all
things
?
--
Thus
you
fee
that
a
man may fuffer in
matters
of
Religion,
.and
may
fuffer
jufily
and righteoufly.
But
now
this 'is
to
be
limited
according to
the Cautions that
I
fpake
toobefore.
Now
on
the other
fide,To
convince
men that they
may
before
they
are
awar
bring men
in
to
fuffer for
Righteoufneffe
fake ;
You
will
fay
,
Who
will make
any
man fuffer for
Righte-
oufnefs fake
?
Surely
there's
fcarce
any fo
vild.
To
that
I
anfwer,
The Devill
himfèlfe
would
never
Caufe
any
of
the people
of
God,
to
fuffer
under the name
of
fuller-
ing
for Righteoufneffe
;
If
the Devil!
did
raife
any
perfecuti-
ons againfl
the
Saints,
he
would have force
pretence or other
for
their
fufferings
;
you
never read
of
that, that the
Devil!
did
cry
out
of men meerely
for
their
Righteoufneffe, but it's
un-
der
fome
other
name
that
alwayes
he
bath
to
bring
fufrerings
upon
the
profeffors
of
Religion
:
When the
Devil!
would
bring
the
people
of the
yewves
to
fuffer,
Haman
comes
and
