A41295	Fagel, Gaspar, 1634-1688.	A letter writ by Mijn Heer Fagel, pensioner of Holland, to Mr. James Stewart, advocate giving an account of the Prince and Princess of Orange's thoughts concerning the repeal of the Test, and penal laws.	1688		.xml	application/xml	4116	87	43	I must then first of all assure you very positively , that Their Highnesses have often declared , as They did it more particularly to the Marquis of Albeville , His Majesties Envoy Extraordinary to the States , that it is Their Opinion , that no Christian ought to be persecuted for his Conscience , or be ill used because he differs from the publick and established Religion ; And therefore , They can consent , that the Papists in England , Scotland and Ireland be suffered to continue in their Religion , with as much Liberty as is allowed them by the States in these Provinces ; in which it cannot be denied , that they enjoy a full Liberty of Conscience . But since the matter that is now in hand , relates not to the making of new Laws , but to the 〈…〉 those already made both by King and Parliament ; they do not see how it can be expected of them , that they should consent to such a Repeal , to which they have so just an aversion , as being a thing that is contrary to the Laws and Customs of all Christian States , whether Protestants , or Papists , who receive none to a share in the Governments , or to publick Employments , but those who profess the publick and established Religion , and that take care to secure it against all attempts whatsoever .	cache/A41295.xml	txt/A41295.txt
