Yet this unhappy error will alwayes be committed in nations and governments, until the proper right and just liberty of men's consciences be discerned, acknowledged and allowed. Likewise, there are some answers given to that common objection, against affording consience [sic] its due liberty, because evil persons may pretend conscience to escape the just punishment of their evil deeds. With a brief account of that supposed stubbornes, which by many is objected against the people called Quakers. ... By Isaac Penington the younger.
