Note 14 — CALVERT AND PENN.
Reading edition
In William Penn's second reply to a committee of the House of Lords appointed in 1678, he declares that those who cannot comply with laws, through tenderness of conscience, should not "revile or conspire against the government, but with christian humility and patience tire out all mistakes against us, and wait their better information, who, we believe, do as undeservedly as severely treat us."
