| 520 | |a Areopagitica, the most widely read of Milton's prose works, is justly famous for its support of the principles of liberty of the press and religious toleration. As such it has come to be seen as in some ways the forerunner of ideas which, though much abused in practice, are basic to modern western democracies. But while the book's perennial appeal, is important to understand the component parts of Milton's argument, and what he owed to his historical situation. It is a mistake to see him, as a nineteenth-century admirer like Macaulay did, as an anticipator of liberalism. When John Locke defended religious toleration in 1689, he argued that 'the church itself is a thing absolutely separate and distinct from the commonwealth. The boundaries on both sides are fixed and immovable. He jumbles heaven and earth together, the things most remote and opposite, who mixes these two societies, which are in their original, end, businesses, and in everything perfectly distinct and infinitely different from each other' | ||
