The jury-man charged; or, A letter to a citizen of London. : VVherein is shewed the true meaning of the statute, entituled, An act to prevent and suppress seditious conventicles. As also, the false glosses and interpretations detected. And it is evinced by undeniable reasons that the Quakers and others that are ordinarily committed to prison, by justices of the peace and chief magistrates of corporations, upon that statute, are not guilty of the breach of it; and yet in reason it is impossible to convict any man among us of being present at a meeting, under pretence and colour of any exercise of religion in other manner than is allowed by the lyturgy or practice of the Church of England, except those that in their meetings are manifestly seditious or otherwise notoriously wicked. And that that juryman that finds any other person guilty, is himself guilty of perjury, and liable to the vengeance of God upon his family and trade, body and soul, in this world and that to come. |
