About this book

John Milton addressed this prose treatise of 1659 to the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England, arguing that no power on earth may lawfully compel anyone in matters of religion. This text is a reprint of 1790, printed for J. Johnson of St. Paul's Church-Yard, with a dedication by an unnamed editor to the Rev. Richard Price. Milton, writing before the Restoration, asks the members to respect other people's consciences as they would want their own respected, and cites scripture and Protestant principles.
