2. Another way of Hiding themselves is, by having a Dispensation to come to any of our Assemblies, or join in worship with any party, good or bad: Or else they will prove it lawful without a Dispensation, where the Pope interdicteth it not. And their way is this: that all the old known Papists, especially of the poorer sort, shall be still forbidden to come to our Assemblies, lest they bring the blot of levity and temporizng on their Religion and lest there should not be a visible party among them to countenance their cause. But the New proselytes, especially such as are of any power and interest in the world, and may do them more service in a masked way, and can fairly avoid the Imputation of Popery, these shall have leave to come to our Assemblies, when their cause may make advantage of it. That you may see I feign not all this of them, (besides the proof from certain experience which we daily see) let me lay before you the Decisions of one of their principal Directors, in this work of propagating their faith; and that is, Thom. à Jesu de Convers. Gentium. How far they are for favouring of Heathens and Infidels, and Liberty of Conscience for them (for all their cruelty to Protestants) you may see him, lib. 5. Dub. 4. pag. 207. Where he tells you that the sentence commonly received in the Schools is, that it is not lawful for Christian Princes to use any force against Infidels, for sins against the Law of Nature it self: and citeth Caject. Victoria, Covarruv. Greg. de valent. And himself decides it in the middle way of Azorius, [That Pagans may not be punished for despising the honour and worship of God, though they may for not giving every man his own, and for theft, murder, false witness, and other sins that are against mens right] Compare this with Sir H. Vane's doctrine of Liberty.
