Can your Conscience tell you, That every Protestant in the World, ought to have his Throat Cut, or be Condemned unto Lovisian Dungeons and Galleys? Can your Conscience tell you, That the Religion which your Bible has taught you, should be Extirpated by Fire and Sword, and the Romish Idolatries established with the most Barbarous and Inhumane Cruelties?
