Excerpt from A Letter to the Author of the Memorial of the State of England
Befides, it would be moft feafonable in this June'ture, when her Majefty in conjune'cion with the Parliament, and the true Church of England, have given fiich effectual Proofs of their Moderation in the Diffenters behalf. Thisi think is the leaft Return which c'an, be expecfted from them by the Government and the Dhum and I lhall leave it to them to confider whether the Neglect of fome fuch pub lick Act of theirs may not in time incline our Church 'to thinkthat {he is playing a Game with Sharpers upon the Square; and that whilil, flie exercifes Gentlenefs and Meeknefs towards them, {he does 'at the fame time but folier a Snake in her Bofom, which may one day hifs at her, and fly in her F ace, by vertue of that very Warmth and Nourifhment which lhe out of Charity and Chriliian Condefcenfion has thought fit to afford them. And this I would put them in mind of for their own fakes; that they may be thereby intituled-to T oleration as a Right, and nor as a Favour only.
