The ancient Bounds, OR Liberty of Conscience, TENDERLY STATED, MODESTLY ASSERTED, AND MILDLY VINDICATED.

1 COR. 10.15. I speake as to wise men, judge yee what I say.
Quid jam nobis ulterius relinquitur, si etiam hoc quod voluntate fieri oportet libi∣do extorquet aliena? Lactan. lib. 5. Instit. cap. 14.
Etiamsi Magistratus Legum suarum Regulis subditos suos, Coercere debeat ne Re∣ligioni quam approbat, apertè maledicant, Cogere eos tamen non potest ad fidem qua istam receptae Religionis formam approbent. Fides enim persuaderi vult non Cogi, ae nihil tam voluntarium esse debet ac Religio, nihil à Magistratu Christiano magis alienum, quàm praepostera severitas quae homines hypocritas reddat, ecosque ore Confiteri Cogat, quod corde non Credant.Prof. Leid. Sy∣nops. pag. 767.
