Two parties among our selves will dislike this proposal.
1. Some will say, If Liberty be desirable, why may not we grant it in England, though Spain, Italy, &c. will not?
Answ. This Liberty is not Desirable for it self, but as a means to that end which is so Desirable. And therefore it is no further desirable then it tendeth to that end. And a partial Toleration of them, that tolerate not us, is so far from being such a means, as that it is the next way to destroy the end that we desire, it will but put our necks under their feet, and open our bosoms to their Swords, and so make our desired Peace impossible. No friend of the Gospel and Reformed Churches will prosecute that motion.
2. Others will say, It is unlawful to grant such a Liberty to Papists, because it is false doctrine which they will preach, and Idolatry which they will exercise; and we must not do evil that good may come by it.
