Question
I do hereby grant and declare, That no Person or Persons, inhabiting in this Province or Territories, who shall confess and acknowledge One almighty God…and profess him or themselves obliged to live quietly under the Civil Government, shall be in any Case molested or prejudiced…because of his or their conscientious Persuasion or Practice, nor be compelled to frequent or maintain any religious Worship, Place or Ministry, contrary to his or their Mind, or to do or suffer any other Act or Thing, contrary to their religious Persuasion.…There shall be an Assembly yearly chosen, by the Freemen thereof, to consist of Four Persons out of each County…Which Assembly shall have Power to… prepare Bills in order to pass into Laws…and shall have all other Powers and Privileges of an Assembly, according to the Rights of the free-born Subjects of England…Bronner, Edwin B.

Solution
The principles laid out in the second paragraph reflect the influence of Enlightenment values. The Enlightenment was a period of intellectual and philosophical development in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. It emphasized reason, individualism, and skepticism of authority, including religious authority. The text's emphasis on freedom of religious practice, the right to live peacefully under civil government regardless of religious belief, and the establishment of a representative assembly chosen by the people, are all consistent with Enlightenment values.

No, not an oath. If not the face of men,125The sufferance of our souls, the time’s abuse—If these be motives weak, break off betimes,And every man hence to his idle bed.So let high-sighted tyranny range onTill each man drop by lottery. But if these—130As I am sure they do—bear fire enoughTo kindle cowards and to steel with valorThe melting spirits of women, then, countrymen,W hat need we any spur but our own causeTo prick us to redress? What other bond135Than secret Romans that have spoke the wordAnd will not palter? And what other oathThan honesty to honesty engaged,That this shall be, or we will fall for it?Swear priests and cowards and men cautelous,140Old feeble carrions and such suffering soulsThat welcome wrongs. Unto bad causes swearSuch creatures as men doubt. But do not stainThe even virtue of our enterprise,Nor th' insuppressive mettle of our spirits,145To think that or our cause or our performanceDid need an oath, when every drop of bloodThat every Roman bears—and nobly bears—Is guilty of a several bastardyIf he do break the smallest particle150Of any promise that hath passed from him.
