And later still, Locke urges similar enlargement of con- fession and speech; but even Locke, * I think, failed of reaching the amplitude of Williams's thought; he made the claim large as humanity — Jew, Mahometan, Gentile, are all included. Per- haps even Williams might have never distinctly stated to himself the difieren(;e between toleration and freedom. But that difl'er- cnce underlies all his arguments. Their spirit exclaims, " I beg no privilege, I demand a right. Talk of tolerating me, — ...of bearing with me, of graciously suilering me to think and to tell my thought ! What have you to do with this ? Who empow- ered you to assume that you are in the right, yet that from your loftier elevation you will let me speak a word which you do not accept ? — Thought is of God, not of man ; to utter his thought is the right which God has given, not a favor which churches or states have conferred. " And the prophet holds this prerogative of speech as not a right only inherent in his nature, but as a trust which God conunands him to put into use.
