CONSIDERATIONS
IN
the
behalf
of
Foreiners
,
which
reside
in
England
;
and
of
the
English
,
who
are
out
of
their
own
Countrey
,
To
allay
the
tempest
,
which
is
too
often
rais'd
in
the
minds
of
the
vulgar
sort
;
and
to
sweeten
the
bitterness
of
a
bilious
,
or
cholerick
humor
against
strangers
,
't
is
good
to
Consider
,
1
That
wise
Nature
produces
no
animal
,
although
never
so
vile
in
the
eyes
of
others
,
which
desire
not
to
preserve
his
being
,
and
which
,
consequently
,
seek
not
the
means
of
self-preservation
.
2
That
in
order
to
that
,
and
by
Natures
Instinct
,
Beasts
change
often
their
pastures
and
quarters
:
Birds
flie
from
Country
to
Countrey
:
and
I
ishes
swim
from
Sea
to
Sea
,
yea
enter
into
our
Rivers
.
3
That
it
is
likewise
for
that
end
,
that
men
do
oft
leave
their
Native
Countrey
,
because
it
is
,
either
too
populous
,
and
so
one
cannot
live
by
the
other
;
or
too
steril
,
and
so
it
is
not
sufficient
for
all
;
or
that
the
Air
is
contrary
to
their
constitution
;
or
that
they
have
puissant
enemies
;
or
that
the
taxes
are
so
great
,
that
they
cannot
be
born
;
or
finally
,
that
the
Laws
threaten
them
with
loss
of
liberty
or
life
for
crime
,
or
do
not
permit
them
the
free
exercise
of
their
Religion
.
4
That
God
having
made
of
one
bloud
all
nations
of
men
,
to
dwell
over
all
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
it
is
a
mark
of
Piety
,
and
a
duty
of
Humanity
,
to
cherish
that
bloud
.
5
That
on
that
ground
,
the
Wise
and
Religious
,
esteeming
not
that
person
a
stranger
,
which
hath
the
shape
of
a
man
,
and
the
knowledge
of
God
,
have
in
all
ages
approv'd
negotiations
and
conversation
with
others
of
their
own
species
:
and
so
't
was
free
for
all
to
travell
from
place
to
place
,
every
one
profesting
his
Science
,
teaching
his
Art
,
and
working
at
his
Trade
;
thus
to
entertain
the
Communion
,
which
ought
to
be
among
all
men
,
by
a
voluntary
communication
of
the
industry
of
their
wits
,
the
dexterity
of
their
hands
,
and
goods
of
their
countreys
.
6
That
though
the
Earth
have
been
divided
into
many
Countreys
,
for
the
habitation
and
inheritance
of
some
Patriarchs
;
and
each
Countrey
,
subdivided
into
many
parts
or
cantons
,
for
their
branches
or
twigs
:
yet
all
those
Countreys
(
except
China
)
have
always
been
open
to
persons
of
other
Nations
,
who
(
since
God
●●th
given
the
Earth
to
the
children
of
men
)
might
justly
complain
,
if
they
had
not
the
liberty
to
dwell
where
it
seems
good
to
them
,
in
behaving
themselves
wisely
,
living
according
to
the
laws
of
the
Land
,
and
not
presuming
to
play
the
Criticks
in
State-affairs
,
whether
Civill
or
Ecclesiasticall
,
no
not
so
much
in
the
humors
nor
manners
of
the
Natives
.
7
That
if
this
Libertie
had
not
been
given
heretofore
,
and
were
not
still
enjoy'd
,
the
proverb
of
one
of
the
Wise
men
of
old
had
had
no
ground
,
when
it
was
made
,
nor
could
be
now
verifyd
amongst
us
;
The
wise
is
every
where
in
his
Countrey
,
that
is
,
he
can
live
every
where
,
as
well
as
in
his
Native
Soil
;
as
carrying
with
him
his
Science
,
to
teach
;
his
Civility
to
gain
love
;
or
his
hands
,
to
labour
.
8
That
this
Liberty
of
teaching
and
working
every
where
,
is
as
clear
as
the
light
in
Histories
,
both
holy
and
profane
:
and
it
is
evident
,
that
the
grand
Apostle
of
the
Gentiles
,
made
use
of
it
to
maintain
himself
in
divers
Countries
by
his
own
labour
,
that
he
might
not
be
chargeable
to
the
Churches
of
God
,

That
God
having
commanded
the
Jews
(
a
covetous
,
and
inhumane
nation
)
to
be
civill
and
courteous
to
strangers
:
he
shews
himself
more
cruell
then
a
Jew
,
who
goes
about
to
expell
them
out
of
a
Land
,
where
they
(
poor
souls
)
indeavour
to
live
by
their
own
labor
.
10
That
those
Nations
,
which
do
refuse
to
intertain
Strangers
,
or
have
nothing
in
their
country
to
attract
them
,
are
commonly
the
least
Civill
;
and
have
but
little
of
humane
Prudence
,
and
divine
Knowledge
.
11
That
of
all
Nations
of
Europe
,
the
English
and
French
should
love
one
another
best
,
as
well
for
their
Vicinity
,
as
for
the
great
Commerce
which
is
'mongst
them
in
time
of
Peace
,
and
for
their
Consanguinitie
,
there
being
in
this
Countrie
thousands
of
Families
,
which
are
descended
from
the
French
;
and
as
many
or
more
in
France
,
whose
Progenitors
were
English
.
12
That
between
the
greatest
part
of
the
French
,
which
are
in
this
Countrey
,
and
of
th'
English
,
there
is
another
band
or
tie
,
stronger
then
flesh
and
bloud
,
and
more
considerable
then
Neighbourhood
and
Negotiation
:
I
mean
the
Communion
of
Saints
;
for
since
they
acknowledge
and
adore
the
same
God
,
and
serve
him
the
same
way
,
indevouring
to
adjust
their
thoughts
,
affections
,
words
,
actions
to
the
●…
ule
,
he
hath
given
them
,
they
ought
to
love
one
another
dearly
,
as
good
●ellowservants
,
Members
of
one
bodie
,
Children
of
one
Father
,
and
thus
Joint
,
heirs
of
one
and
the
same
Happiness
.
13
That
the
English
are
greatly
mistaken
in
their
Calculation
or
Catalogue
of
the
French
,
living
here
,
esteeming
such
all
those
that
speak
their
tongue
:
so
that
the
high
Germans
,
Switzers
of
the
French
tongue
,
Danes
,
Swedes
,
Dutch
,
Walloons
,
and
those
of
Geneva
pass
for
good
French
in
the
opinion
of
many
,
although
in
truth
,
there
are
not
here
two
Naturall
French
'mongst
ten
,
which
are
taken
for
such
,
or
who
for
their
profit
,
would
gladly
go
for
such
.
14
That
if
the
French
and
other
strangers
have
any
dealing
and
trading
with
the
English
,
it
is
because
these
,
as
a
free
Nation
,
are
willing
to
make
use
of
them
,
delight
in
their
dexterity
,
and
do
admire
their
Inventions
,
confessing
,
't
is
from
them
,
that
the
Natives
have
many
sine
Manufactures
,
and
learnt
of
them
pretty
knacks
,
and
excellent
things
.
15
That
unless
it
be
prov'd
,
either
that
those
strangers
force
the
Natives
of
this
Country
,
to
take
their
Wares
,
or
to
make
use
of
their
service
;
or
that
the
English
have
not
the
liberty
to
do
either
,
ther
's
no
wise
man
that
can
condemn
the
Natives
nor
Aliens
.
16
That
it
cannot
be
said
without
temeritie
,
that
the
English
,
to
follow
their
caprichio
,
or
foolish
fancy
,
employ
any
Strangers
:
since
many
do
't
,
either
by
reason
of
some
acquaintance
or
familiarity
,
they
had
before
with
those
Strangers
;
or
through
compassion
of
their
poverty
;
or
in
consideration
of
their
Religion
;
or
because
the
commodities
and
work
of
those
Strangers
please
them
better
;
or
that
they
stand
in
need
of
them
,
and
perhaps
that
they
are
cheaper
.
17
That
if
Aliens
have
not
the
Liberty
to
trade
and
work
in
this
Country
,
many
of
them
cannot
long
subsist
here
,
yet
dare
not
go
back
into
Flanders
,
where
the
greatest
part
of
them
were
born
,
nor
others
,
into
France
nor
Italie
,
by
reason
of
their
Religion
;
and
so
they
will
be
reduc'd
to
mendicitie
,
or
expos'd
to
greater
mischiefs
;
wheras
now
by
the
fruits
of
their
labor
and
industry
,
they
entertain
many
hundreds
of
poor
persons
,
and
about
sixteen
Ministers
of
the
holy
Gospel
,
in
12
or
13
Churches
,
they
have
in
this
Kingdom
.
18
That
if
they
be
depriv'd
of
this
Liberty
,
their
Churches
,
which
have
been
stablisht
in
this
Realm
,
will
infallibly
cease
and
be
dissipated
,
under
the
pious
and
prudent
government
of
our
Religious
and
Gracious
Monarch
,
to
the
great
grief
of
all
the
Reformed
Churches
abroad
,
but
to
the
great
joy
of
their
Adversaries
,
who
will
greatly
triumph
at
such
a
sad
dissipation
.
And
certainly
this
August
Prince
and
his
great
Parliament
do
not
intend
that
these
poor
Churches
be
brought
to
nothing
:
since
that
in
their
behalf
they
have
of
late
inserted
an
Article
or
Proviso
in
the
Act
of
Uniformity
:
and
it
is
a
wonder
to
see
,
that
those
who
acknowledge
,
that
the
King
of
England
is
also
King
of
France
,
and
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
can
find
in
their
hearts
to
bandie
themselves
against
those
,
who
,
upon
that
account
,
are
his
Subjects
;
and
murmur
against
their
brethren
,
the
poor
Protestants
;
since
both
come
into
this
Countrey
,
to
live
Peaceably
and
Religiously
,
under
the
protection
which
he
ows
them
,
as
King
to
his
good
Subjects
;
and
as
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
unto
Religious
Souls
,
faithfull
Christians
,
and
holy
Members
of
the
Son
of
God
.
19
That
if
their
Churches
(
which
God
forbid
)
be
thus
disperst
,
many
of
their
Members
will
be
able
to
say
with
the
Prophet
leremie
,
in
a
spirituall
sense
;
The
young
children
ask
bread
,
and
no
man
breaks
it
unto
them
:
For
,
understanding
none
or
but
little
English
,
there
will
be
here
no
man
to
afford
them
the
bread
of
life
,
and
to
direct
them
in
the
ways
of
their
eternall
salvation
,
in
preaching
unto
them
the
Golpel
of
Christ
,
in
French
,
low
Dutch
,
and
Italian
:
and
so
this
Land
will
cease
to
be
a
place
of
Refuge
and
Consolation
to
those
poor
Protestants
,
who
are
persecuted
in
their
own
Countries
.
That
finally
,
many
of
the
English
,
whom
passion
and
private
interest
stir
up
against
strangers
,
have
been
,
they
and
their
fore-fathers
,
in
a
condition
to
implore
their
counteous
Neighbours
help
:
Their
Grandfathers
,
in
Queen
Maries
days
;
and
●hey
th●●selves
,
during
the
late
troubles
of
this
State
.
They
may
read
in
their
●…
ories
and
〈◇〉
●●shop
Jewel
,
who
speaks
of
it
by
experience
,
the
good
us●ge
of
neighbouring
Nations
to
their
Religious
Ancestors
:
And
concerning
themselves
,
they
know
,
how
●hey
ha●●
been
treated
abroad
,
during
these
horrid
disorders
.
If
well
,
as
most
of
them
h●●●
been
,
yea
by
persons
dissenting
from
them
in
many
points
of
Religion
;
both
Gratitude
and
Generosity
oblige
them
to
render
like
for
like
,
in
shewing
to
strangers
as
much
Charity
and
Civility
,
as
they
have
receiv'd
in
their
want
.
If
ill
,
as
it
must
be
confest
,
too
many
have
been
so
,
yea
by
persons
who
ow'd
them
more
Civilities
;
they
know
full
well
,
that
vengeance
is
forbid
,
and
that
God
commands
them
to
render
good
for
evill
.
And
morover
,
they
know
again
,
that
these
poor
souls
,
who
live
here
among
them
,
are
not
the
vile
persons
,
who
in
their
pressing
wants
,
refus'd
them
the
effects
,
Humanity
did
then
require
(
not
to
speak
here
of
what
was
due
to
the
Greatness
,
Bloud
and
Merits
of
some
of
them
)
but
that
these
duties
were
deni'd
,
by
meer
Tygers
in
humane
shape
;
by
hearts
most
barbarous
,
and
by
minds
altogether
wild
,
which
they
must
not
propose
unto
themselves
,
as
fair
models
of
their
vertuous
actions
.
As
man
is
Rational
,
and
thus
oblig'd
to
act
always
according
to
the
rules
,
Reason
dictates
,
and
Justice
does
require
;
I
have
no
cause
to
doubt
,
that
these
Considerations
do
not
powrfully
invite
us
to
cast
most
gracious
looks
one
upon
another
,
to
love
any
man
tenderly
,
and
to
seek
and
embrace
all
occasions
to
serve
others
,
as
we
are
desirous
to
be
assisted
in
our
wants
.
If
my
little
Labor
produce
these
verie
sweet
,
these
most
delightfull
Fruits
,
my
Recompence
is
great
,
and
my
Joy
will
be
excessive
