I. Whether Men should be compelled to Communicate with any Church, by Corporal Penalties?
II. Whether they who consent to Communicate with some Church, may choose their own Pastor and Company, or may by force be confined to their Parish Priest, and Church?
II. Whether they who consent to Communicate with some Church, may chuse their own Pastor and Company, or may by force be confined to their Parish Priest, and Church?
