Toleration Discussed in Two Dialogues is a book written by Roger L'Estrange in 1670. The book is divided into two dialogues, the first one being between a conformist and a non-conformist, and the second one being between a Presbyterian and an Independent. The purpose of the book is to discuss the concept of religious toleration, which was a highly debated topic in the 17th century.In the first dialogue, the conformist argues that religious conformity is necessary for the stability of the state and that non-conformists should be punished for their beliefs. The non-conformist, on the other hand, argues that religious freedom is a fundamental right and that the state should not interfere in matters of conscience.In the second dialogue, the Presbyterian argues that the state should enforce a national church and that dissenters should be punished. The Independent, however, argues that every individual has the right to worship as they please and that the state should not interfere in matters of religion.Throughout the book, L'Estrange presents arguments from both sides of the debate and attempts to find a middle ground between religious conformity and religious freedom. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding religious toleration in the 17th century.One: Betwixt A Conformist And A Non-Conformist, Laying Open The Impiety And Danger Of A General Liberty And Two: Betwixt A Presbyterian And An Independent Concluding, Upon An Impartial Examination Of Their Respective Practices And Opinions, In Favor Of The Independent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
