According 1 Penn, Persuasion to moderation to Church Dissenters.
2 Pepys' entry for Feb. 27th, 1668. 2 That of the Commonwealth.
^ Ecclesiastical Polity, p. 161. Cf. Also Colonel Sandys' argument in the debate on toleration in 1667-8, Pari. Hist. , p. 414.
48 TOLERATION to every theory of government a man is justified in breaking laws if he submits quietly to the punish- ment which is attached to a breach of them. A conventicle might very properly have been described as illegal ; it was forbidd...en by statute. But to call it " seditious, " and " riotously and routously " assem- bled, when its one object was the worship of God and the doors were open, is an unjustified stretching of the meaning of those terms\ ''What is religious, '* Penn maintains, " can never be seditious 2. " The sermons of the nonconformist clergy seem to have been evangelical and not political. This was of course in strong contrast with their practice under the Commonwealth or during the Rebellion. Some of the less known preachers may have been not guiltless ; but men like Baxter, Bunyan, Owen and Howe, some of whose sermons have come down to posterity, remembered the warning given by the King in the year of his restoration that " preaching rebellion from the pulpit is a very grave offence.
