though they introduce Popery and set up the Church of Rome in its stead Thus I have shewn you what that Peace is which we must Pray for and I need not add many words in the second place to shew you how necessary Prayer is to obtain these Blessings for not to insist now on those common Topicks of the Necessity of Prayer in general and its Power and Efficacy to obtain our Requests of GOD I shall desire you only to consider that this Peace is such a Blessing as none but GOD can bestow and therefore we ought to pray for it 1. As for Unity and Peace among our selves this Saint Paul expresly prays for 15 Rom. 5 6. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one towards another according to Christ Jesus that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorifie God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for it is God that maketh men to be of a mind Whoever considers the unruly passions of men their different capacities and understandings and different interests will not wonder that the best Arguments and the most obliging Arts do not always prevail but God can still our passions enlighten our minds over-rule our interests remove our prejudices and unite and reconcile the most distant persons and not to take notice now of that power he has over our Wills and his immediate applications to our Minds and Spirits he many times effects this by some external and visible Providences The Jail and the Stake presently reconciled the Differences between those two excellent Bishops and Martyrs RIDLEY and HOOPER who before disputed fiercely about some Ceremonies as we have done and I pray God grant us so much Christian prudence and temper that we may not need such means to reconcile us and we have great reason to hope this since the Divine Providence has in a great measure already removed the Prejudices on both sides and convinc'd us that we are not at such a distance from each other as our Enemies would have us and as it may be we thought our selves to be Dissenters I hope are by this time very well satisfied that the Church of England has no inclination to Popery and we have reason to acknowledge that the Body of Dissenters for some private Intriguers on either side do not deserve our notice nor to be thought on either side have not such an irreconcileable Hatred to the Church of England as to sacrifice her to a Popish Interest and this bids fair for a good Understanding between us and let us pray to God to continue and perfect it 2. As for the Preservation of the Church from the Oppression and Persecution of her Enemies this is God's care too and many times nothing but an All-seeing Vigilant and Omnipotent Providence can secure her Many times their Designs are laid deep and low full of Intrigue and Artifice unknown to all men but themselves as it was in the Gunpowder Treason when our King and Nobles and Senators were designed as a rich Sacrifice to a furious and Antichristian Zeal but when the wicked plotteth against the just and gnasheth on him with his teeth the Lord shall laugh at him for he seeth that his day is coming 37 Psal. 12 13. Let us then Pray heartily to God that he would reconcile our Differences and Divisions and restore Peace and Unity to his Church that he would defend us from all the Plots and Machinations of our Enemies that we being delivered from all Persecutions may ever more give thanks unto him in his Holy Church through Jesus Christ our Lord to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be Honour Glory and Power now and for ever Amen FINIS Books lately Printed for William Rogers THE Doctrines and Practices of the Church of Rome truly Represented in Answer to a Book intituled A Papist Misrepresented and Represented c.
