Upon a fuppo- iition that the toleration act extended not to Ireland ; but I told them they were fniftaken, for all men by nature arc free, till that freedom is taken away, cither by policy or force. Some penal laws then, made by an antichriftian policy, and applied by tyrannical force, having obftrufted the liberty of the fubje&s of England for a time, yet that liberty was not de- flroyed, but that force being removed, liberty revived, and turned into her natural channel 5 for there are many f...tatute laws in England, wherein though there are new forms and claufes of enacting, yet, in reality, are not initiatory of -new matter, or new laws, or privileges never before claimed or enjoyed by the PEOPLE CALLED QUAKERS. people of right ; but declaratory only of rights and privileges in pofiefTioii by them and their ancestors before, endangered by evil counfellors to kings and princes, who, for their own advancement in favour, are too frequently the wicked inftruments of tyrannical and enilaving counfels, where they meet with any degree of propenfity in the tempers of their princes biailing them that way ; and (of like nature is this act of toleration in England) which native rights and privileges all Englifhmen carry along with them 'into all regions of the world, where they fettle under the regimen of the crown of England, now -upon a very Worthy head, who declares for liberty to all his Protef- tant diffenting fubjects throughout his dominions the world over, and that indulgence they now enjoy every where but here.
