THE CASTING DOWN of the last and strongest hold of Satan. OR, A TREATISE Against Toleration And pretended Liberty of Conscience:

Wherein by Scripture, sound reason, fathers, schoolmen, casuists, Protestant divines of all nations, confessions of faith of the Reformed Churches, ecclesiastical histories, and constant practice of the most pious and wisest emperors, princes, states, the best writers of politics, the experience of all ages; yes, by divers principles, testimonies and proceedings of sectaries themselves, as Donatists, Anabaptists, Brownists, Independents, the unlawfulness and mischief in Christian commonwealths and kingdoms both of a universal toleration of all religions and consciences, and of a limited and bounded of some sects only, are clearly proved and demonstrated, with all the material grounds and reasons brought for such tolerations fully answered.

By THOMAS EDWARDS Minister of the Gospel.
