Extra addition to John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and Letter Concerning Toleration." PG here. I started copying and pasting 1 page of John Locke a day. We are on day 47. In addition, in "A Letter Concerning Toleration," we are on page 27. A time, the 1600s, when the church ran the government and would take everything a person had, even burning them at the stake, unless they worshipped in the Catholic Church or the Church of England.

***FREEDOM OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION*** A religion is what you believe, a philosophy, an ideology. All men must unanimously agree to being a part of the making of the laws and rules plus punishment. For the protection to worship God freely. Must be fair, just, holy, wholesome, and highly moral. For the goodwill of everyone. Religion can not be enforced using force of arms. Weapons, position, and government. {15a Finishes the thought. 15a: .....reasons with the instruments of force, which belong to another jurisdiction and do ill become a Churchman’s hands. Let them not call in the magistrate’s authority to the aid of their eloquence or learning, lest perhaps, whilst they pretend only love for the truth, this their intemperate zeal, breathing nothing but fire and sword, betray their ambition and show that what they desire is temporal dominion.}

14b.........This caution and temper they ought certainly to use towards those. who mind only their own business and are solicitous for nothing but that (whatever men think of them), they may worship God in that manner which they are persuaded is acceptable to Him and in which they have the strongest hopes of eternal salvation. In private domestic affairs, in the management of estates, in the conservation of bodily health, every man may consider what suits his own convenience and follow what course he likes best.
