DISSENTERS. Penal Laws.
They are in a great error, who seeing the words twenty
Pound & £100 & so many months imprisonment,
think that look upon the punishment for dissenting as just
so much as being just & no more — It is this gracious alternative,
beggary or perpetual imprisonment. It
is absolute proscription: as much so as any thing
can be, where torture is not used inflicted nor life
destroy'd. x p.4

To the great discomfiture of men of orthodoxy
