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
[He who has travelled with too many horses one day may travel to water with fewer.] He who has made his cloth wrong one time, may make it right another

Here it is, as well in
the sense of the
bondage, as in the
sense given to it
by the is confronted, will he recant
the Cut-throat (on
whom no one can
lay hands, to
him best at this
hazard of life) has
his head not at
half the price, which
Christian Bishops are
content shall be gained
in hell
by him who will
sacrifice their fellow Christians
to their
wrath.

paragraph

Was there any one who
proposed the reward should
be taken away? Not one. Was there
any one who even proposed it
should be suspended, untill
any danger should accrue to that peace, for the sake of which it is pretended to be continued.
In all other offences, when the fine is once paid, wch
the Law expresses, all is over at an end. — The numbers on
the paper are the measure of the offenders' suffering,
& it is his own folly if it be ever more. — Him He who had
smuggled once & has smarted for it, [may make ].
as one forces him to smuggle again.
2 The same which placed him in that late dangerous
cours station compells him to persevere. 1 Let his punishment
have been multiplied ever so often, he has it
still to begin go through again.
Of all the most disingenuous, the most
ill-founded, but perhaps the most ,
is that of confounding these mens cause with the
cause of .
What would the be the gainers by the abolition
of the level punishment? it touches not them: unless to
belongs what the men of seem to
impute to it, & for which they hate it, a tender
& zealous regard for the rights of human Nature,
that spirit of charity, which
it is the best praise of Christianity [to] that
is inculcated.
Church Tyranny
displayed
exposed
in the of the
Defender
of the
University of Oxon.
To the great discomfiture of men of orthodoxy
the has long enjoyed, & God grant he may ever enjoy, that
peace & liberty, as to his devotion which Christians as yet sigh after in vain.
Punishment is demanded against him them, who without
certain declarations
He his difference
over how many they left
as to what regards himself
to wish for.
What is that to him? His Church is his Church,
his Liturgy the extemporaneous effusions of the heart
