SUBSCRIPTION
It is a very true observation of a celebrated politician's, tho made to indifferent purpose, that
the generality of mankind are 100 years at least behind hand in their politics:
But ever in respect to those times the
is undertaken: if it ever it
was with any other nation, it certainly
never was the way with Englishmen
to quarrel with the liberty that
was given them
If ever there was a time, when the
Magistrate had said to the people,
believe each of you as you will, or as you
can, but follow the precepts of the
Gospel in being peaceable & loving
one another, & then they had taken
up arms, & then they had fallen to
cutting peoples one another's throats
the case would have been parallel:
but has it ever been so, yet? that there never has been yet.
The language has always been, believe
all of you as I do to day; believe all of you
the contrary tomorrow as I shall
do tomorrow; or flames or
or beggary banishment or civil disabilities
or ecclesiastical disabilities, now
that I can no longer bring any
of the rest to bear against you
shall be your portion.
There have been x .. instances
where the first mentioned sort of
language has been used; the
people to whom it was addressed
were our own people, but infinitely
more attached to their speculative
tenets beyond what have they the people are that it is pretended [by any
one the people] are to be at present:
men who had most of many of them given the last proofs
of the rigor of that attachment
by quitting their native country
to manifest it in what was then
a desert.
