But seeing (to say something briefly of the other duty of a prince concerning religion) there be diverse kinds of men, which a prince ⟨p. 248⟩may have under his government, namely either mere infidels: or such as indeed profess Christ, but yet are also open idolaters, or in many things apostates from the apostolical church, or in some article of the faith manifest heretics, or else err upon simplicity: or such as are rightly persuaded in all matters: we do certainly hold, that a prince ought not to use one kind of measure towards all these sorts: for some of them are to be loved, cherished, and honoured: some to be winked at: some not to be suffered: other some to be quite cut off: and none must be permitted to blaspheme Christ, or to worship idols, or retain ungodly ceremonies.
