2. What will you make of the Magistrates then? Do you think, that they take any Subject to be without Sin? Or, that they are so inhumane and worse than Heathens, as to think, that all that have any Sin, should be ⟨p. 17⟩silenced, or forbidden to Worship God, or punished if they forbear not? It's a Sin to sleep at Church, or to give nothing, or too little there at Collections for the Poor; and an hundred such. And are they so severe as to send Men to Gaol, or fine them for it? They make profane Swearers pay but twelve pence an Oath (if any thing) and few suffer for wishing God to Damn them, or for being drunk, even at the time of Worship: And do you think, they will be so palpably partial, as to ruin honest Christians for praying without book?
