Quotes
He that is willing to tolerate any religion, or discrepant way of religion, besides his own, unless it be in matters merely indifferent, either doubts of his own, or is not sincere in it.
In 1647, as quoted in "Free Speech and Its Present Crisis" (2018), by Allen C. Guelzo, City Journal
The world is full of care, much like unto a bubble, Women and care, and care and women, and women and care and trouble.
Epigram (Attributed by Ward to a lady at the court of the Queen of Bohemia), Simple Cobler's Boy (1648), p. 25
