Fair-warning, or, XXV reasons against toleration and indulgence of popery with the Arch-bishop of…

7. Reason, As to what you say of commerce and marriage, we establish not our religion upon policy, but upon piety—we look not what is most advantageous, but what is most lawful: although yet it be the interest of foreigners as much to be of our Religion, as it is ours to be of theirs—the English peace and trade is as much their advantage, as theirs is ours: as for the Earl of Bristow, he told King James and King Charles, that for which he was questioned by the Duke of Buckingham in Parliament: As for the Earl of Leicester he did a little regard Richelieu, as he did him:—and he hath lived to see as great a Cardinal court the English, when resolute in their way, though never so severe to Catholics—their resolute are fooled, the resolved are feared:—as for the Queen of Bohemia, if we had followed Her interest, she might have been the greatest Queen in Europe;—and the Lord would have let the World have seen—that it was the highest advantage in the World to give up our selves and relation to God and the Gospel: as for English Queens we may in time have Protestant Queens. In the mean time we know our gracious Queens will not impose upon us the public practice or indulgence at least of their Religion no more, then we impose our Religion upon them: they had rather few then whole Kingdoms should suffer, they had rather see you suffer for your conscience, then force us to allow your way against our consciences; however to avoid some supposed inconveniences, we will not commit sin which is a real, and the greatest inconvenience in the World.
