CHAPTER IV
28/65

For, in the first of these laws, they deprive every man who does not communicate with their Established Church, of the right to his freedom, or a vote in the election of their magistrates.

In the second, they sentence to banishment any who should oppose the fourth commandment, or deny the validity of infant baptism, or the authority of the magistrates.

In the third, they condemn Quakers to banishment, and make it capital for them to return; and not stopping at the offenders, they lay heavy fines upon all who should bring them into the province, or even harbour them for an hour.

In the fourth, they provide banishment, and death in case of return, for Jesuits and Popish priests of every denomination.

In the fifth, they decree death to any who shall worship images.
