Text by John locke, A letter concerning toleration.
Furthermore, no man can give another power over something over which he himself has no power, and even God would do so in vain. Now, whether a man is incapable of commanding his own understanding, or of deciding positively today of the opinion he will have tomorrow, this is clearly demonstrated by experience and very nature of the understanding, which can no longer apprehend things other than they appear to it only the eye is capable of seeing the rainbow of other colors than those which it sees there only. these are really there or not.
The other thing that has a legitimate right to limitless tolerance is the place, the time and modalities of divine worship, for this is a matter that takes place exclusively between God and me; it engages my eternal destiny, and it is beyond the reach and the competence of politics and government, which are only intended to provide my well-being in this world; the government can do me justice towards my neighbor, but he cannot defend me against my God. Whatever evils I may endure when I obey him in other areas, he will be able to compensate me for it: but if he forces me to adhere to a false religion, he will not be able to make any redress to me in this regard. world. Let me add that, even in the things of this world over which the magistrate has authority, he never enjoins men to take care of their civil or private affairs: he never compels them to provide for their own interests. beyond what is necessary to the public good, and it would be unfair if it did; he is content to ensure that his interests are neither injured nor invaded by other men, which is perfect tolerance.
