  1 1|          different professions of religion, I must needs answer you
  2 1|              The business of true religion is quite another thing.
  3 1|     really embraced the Christian religion in their own hearts. If
  4 1|        other men upon pretence of religion, whether they do it out
  5 1|           advancement of the true religion, and of the Church of Christ,
  6 1|         from others in matters of religion is so agreeable to the Gospel
  7 1|         others, under pretence of religion, may not seek impunity for
  8 1|           government from that of religion and to settle the just bounds
  9 1|           to compel anyone to his religion. Nor can any such power
 10 1|        the life and power of true religion consist in the inward and
 11 1|           sins by the exercise of religion, I say, in offering thus
 12 1|        force; but true and saving religion consists in the inward persuasion
 13 1|          they had no rule but the religion of the court and were put
 14 1|        their governors and to the religion which either ignorance,
 15 1|      contradiction of opinions in religion, wherein the princes of
 16 1|         any church; otherwise the religion of parents would descend
 17 1|           is of another church or religion. All the rights and franchises
 18 1|           are not the business of religion. No violence nor injury
 19 1|     differing from one another in religion, I understand also of particular
 20 1|         occasions the interest of religion makes them to be extremely
 21 1|       each other upon pretence of religion. Those that are of another
 22 1|         founded in grace and that religion is to be propagated by force
 23 1|        difference between them in religion. For whatsoever is not lawful
 24 1|          without any prejudice to religion or the salvation of souls,
 25 1|         truly fundamental part of religion.~But let us grant unto these
 26 1|          and least of all of true religion. For if it were so, how
 27 1|          follow in the affairs of religion, to be in the civil magistrate,
 28 1|        believe in the business of religion otherwise than the Church
 29 1|         own decrees in matters of religion, but only the decrees of
 30 1|           king ordered nothing in religion upon his own head, nor commanded
 31 1|           of their Church? If the religion of any Church become, therefore,
 32 1|         extol and praise it, what religion can ever be accounted erroneous,
 33 1|    because he commands nothing in religion but by the authority and
 34 1|       different minds in point of religion, and enjoined thereupon
 35 1|  prescribes laws to another man’s religion pretend to do it by his
 36 1|           magistrate’s opinion in religion be sound, and the way that
 37 1|        but I cannot be saved by a religion that I distrust and by a
 38 1|     whatsoever may be doubtful in religion, yet this at least is certain,
 39 1|         least is certain, that no religion which I believe not to be
 40 1|         one another in matters of religion, let us now consider what
 41 1|         unto the love of the true religion, and perform such other
 42 1|      perform such other things in religion as cannot be done by each
 43 1|   considering that the end of all religion is to please Him, and that
 44 1|       opinion, to practise in his religion a thing that is in its nature
 45 1|           is not so in matters of religion. Things indifferent are
 46 1|       lawfully be introduced into religion? What hodgepodge of ceremonies,
 47 1|         have been introduced into religion and made a part of divine
 48 1|      pretence, be introduced into religion and imposed upon religious
 49 1|       congregated upon account of religion should be desirous to sacrifice
 50 1|          same everywhere, and the religion of every prince is orthodox
 51 1|           violence and blood, the religion which is there reputed idolatrous,
 52 1|          may oppress the reformed religion and, in India, the Christian.
 53 1|       either change everything in religion, according to the prince’
 54 1|           introduce anything into religion by the means of laws and
 55 1|    enjoyments upon account of his religion. Not even Americans, subjected
 56 1|          of people. The Christian religion by this means takes root
 57 1|        will forsake their ancient religion and embrace a new and strange
 58 1|        how easily the pretence of religion, and of the care of souls,
 59 1|          violated upon account of religion in one place more than another.~
 60 1|       Pagan prince, the Christian religion seem false and offensive
 61 1|           to forsake their former religion and receive His.~Secondly,
 62 1|        man forced into the Jewish religion and the worship of the true
 63 1|         that is, to embrace their religion. But this he did willingly,
 64 1|         of faith.~The articles of religion are some of them practical
 65 1|       that they believe.” A sweet religion, indeed, that obliges men
 66 1|     consist not the least part of religion and true piety, concerns
 67 1|    compelled to embrace a strange religion, and join in the worship
 68 1|      government, I mean for their religion, which whether it be true
 69 1|           teach, for doctrines of religion, such things as manifestly
 70 1|          that differ from them in religion; or that the dominion of
 71 1|           or who upon pretence of religion do challenge any manner
 72 1|        all men in matters of mere religion. For what do all these and
 73 1|           a Mahometan only in his religion, but in everything else
 74 1|           feigned oracles of that religion according to his pleasure.
 75 1|         undermine and destroy all religion, can have no pretence of
 76 1|           can have no pretence of religion whereupon to challenge the
 77 1|           compelled in matters of religion either by law or force.
 78 1|         one another in matters of religion, but these ecclesiastical
 79 1|           agreement in matters of religion were in effect a conspiracy
 80 1|          more warmly unanimous in religion the less liberty they had
 81 1|           conspiracies, it is not religion inspires them to it in their
 82 1|           raised upon pretence of religion, but it is as true that
 83 1|        but it is as true that for religion subjects are frequently
 84 1|          Suppose this business of religion were let alone, and that
 85 1|        merely upon the account of religion? Some enter into company
 86 1|      Neighbourhood joins some and religion others. But there is only
 87 1|      those that are averse to the religion of the magistrate will think
 88 1|       that Church which agrees in religion with the prince be esteemed
 89 1|       distinction upon account of religion, enjoying the same favour
 90 1|       commonwealth because of his religion. The Gospel commands no
 91 1|        the fault of the Christian religion? If it be so, truly the
 92 1|           so, truly the Christian religion is the worst of all religions
 93 1|           nature of the Christian religion, to be turbulent and destructive
 94 1|        say any such thing of that religion which carries the greatest
 95 1|         most modest and peaceable religion that ever was. We must,
 96 1|       evils that are charged upon religion. And, if we consider right,
 97 1|   Christian world upon account of religion. The heads and leaders of
 98 1|       forfeitable upon account of religion) with arms as well as they
 99 1|      principle of persecution for religion shall prevail, as it has
100 2|          what men are of the same religion. Concerning which it is
101 2|           worship are of the same religion; and those who have not
102 2|      things that belong unto that religion are contained in that rule,
103 2|           are of one and the same religion, and vice versa. Thus Turks
104 2|           to be the rule of their religion, and those the Alcoran.
105 2|          are not both of the same religion, because these acknowledge
106 2|           and foundation of their religion, those take in also traditions
107 2|   together make the rule of their religion; and thus the Christians
108 2| traditions, for the rule of their religion.~This being settled, it
109 2|           between men of the same religion for some opinions no way
110 2|          to the doctrinal part of religion. Let us now consider schism,
