DISSENTERS Penal Laws
If there were really two parties upon this question, the
intolerant party, thus armed by the Law, must tread
upon the other,the other underfoot, as the case was Charles &added text James the 2d's reign
& would have been to a much greater degree, had it
not been for that sort of . . . . .partial reconciliationwhich is
produced by the terrorinstant of a Popery thecommon enemy, long
since removed.
It is not necessary to enter into the delicate question
how far upon extraordinary occasions,in extraordinary situations & upon extraordinary it may be
lawful, that is it may be expedient can be admitted to befor the Rulers
of the nation to act for its interestswhat they suppose against its'what<lb/>they know to be its'sentiments. sure I am, that nothing has
appear'd of late to indicate any such extraordinary
necessity, nor even, as I can learn, has been alledged.
Let us consider for a moment on teh side of consistency,
probitymorality & prudence what upon this hypothesis
must be the which these superior killed ministers
of Religion preach by this their condcut more forcibly
than by a thousand sermons.
