Persecution for religion judg'd and condemn'd: : in a discoure, between an antichristian and a Crhistian [sic]. Proving by the law of God and of the land, and by King James his many testimonies, that no man ought to be persecuted for his religion, so he testifie his allegiance by the oath appointed by law. Proving also, that the spiritual power in England, is the image of the spiritual cruel power of Rome, or that beast mentioned, Rev. 13. manifesting the fearful estate of those who subject to such powers, that tyrannize over the conscience: and shewing the unlawfulness of flying, because of the trouble men see or fear is coming upon them. To which is added, an humble supplication to the Kings Majesty; wherein (among other things) is proved, 1. That the learned usually erre and resist the truth. 2. That persecution is against the law of Jesus Christ. 3. Against the profession and practice of famous princes. 4. Condemned by ancient and later writers. 5. Freedom in religion not hurtful to any common-wealth, and it depriveth not kings of any power given them of God..
