shall_v not_o hurt_v nor_o destroy_v in_o all_o his_o holy_a mountain_n isai_n 11.7_o 8_o 9_o he_o have_v say_v verse_n 13._o that_o the_o envy_n of_o ephraim_n shall_v depart_v and_o the_o adversary_n of_o judah_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o that_o ephraim_n shall_v not_o envy_v judah_n nor_o judah_n vex_v ephraim_n he_o have_v say_v that_o judah_n and_o ephraim_n though_o two_o stick_n shall_v be_v join_v one_o to_o another_o into_o one_o stick_n and_o they_o shall_v become_v one_o in_o his_o hand_n ezek._n 37.16_o 17._o and_o he_o have_v far_a promise_v that_o he_o will_v turn_v to_o his_o people_n a_o pure_a language_n and_o they_o shall_v serve_v he_o with_o one_o consent_n or_o shoulder_n zeph._n 3.9_o that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o way_n these_o and_o divers_a other_o promise_v god_n have_v make_v of_o this_o sort_n which_o he_o like_v his_o people_n shall_v plead_v and_o put_v he_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o wish_v i_o can_v say_v that_o this_o generation_n shall_v not_o pass_v away_o till_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v but_o consider_v the_o improbability_n of_o such_o a_o blessing_n for_o the_o present_a i_o fear_v i_o may_v take_v up_o balaam_n word_n and_o say_v who_o shall_v live_v when_o god_n will_v do_v this_o in_o mean_a time_n what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o besiege_v heaven_n and_o apply_v to_o god_n by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n to_o do_v this_o together_o and_o to_o do_v this_o apart_o that_o god_n will_v cause_v these_o jangle_n and_o contention_n that_o be_v among_o his_o people_n to_o cease_v if_o some_o plague_n or_o drought_n come_v upon_o we_o we_o shall_v reckon_v it_o high_a time_n to_o fast_a and_o pray_v yet_o these_o as_o one_o observe_v be_v in_o themselves_o but_o misery_n when_o our_o contention_n be_v so_o our_o misery_n that_o they_o be_v also_o our_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v these_o devil_n of_o strife_n and_o division_n will_v be_v drive_v out_o no_o other_o way_n but_o by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n let_v i_o conclude_v all_o with_o a_o double_a exhortation_n the_o first_o be_v to_o those_o that_o be_v minister_n they_o be_v the_o ambassador_n of_o peace_n they_o be_v send_v by_o he_o who_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n therefore_o they_o shall_v use_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o prevent_v and_o remove_v all_o strife_n and_o division_n yet_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v i_o know_v not_o they_o be_v many_o time_n the_o great_a promoter_n thereof_o one_o have_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v few_o rent_n and_o contention_n in_o church_n in_o which_o minister_n have_v not_o the_o chief_a hand_n i_o have_v a_o remarkable_a note_n upon_o hosea_n 9.8_o he_o say_v veteres_n scrutans_fw-la historias_fw-la nullos_fw-la invenire_fw-la possum_fw-la

rend_v the_o church_n like_o those_o that_o sustain_v the_o office_n of_o minister_n this_o be_v a_o sad_a charge_n and_o it_o be_v too_o just_o lay_v upon_o many_o of_o that_o order_n luther_n pray_v that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v deliver_v from_o sundry_a evil_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n a_o pastore_fw-la contentioso_fw-la from_o contentious_a preacher_n or_o pastor_n it_o touch_v i_o to_o the_o quick_a the_o other_o day_n to_o hear_v one_o tell_v i_o that_o we_o who_o be_v minister_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o contention_n that_o be_v in_o city_n and_o country_n at_o this_o day_n i_o think_v with_o myself_o there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o truth_n in_o what_o he_o say_v if_o we_o will_v unite_v and_o agree_v our_o hearer_n will_v unite_v and_o agree_v likewise_o general_o it_o be_v like_o pastor_n like_o people_n they_o be_v tuba_fw-la instata_fw-la a_o sound_a trumpet_n they_o sound_v according_a to_o the_o breath_n we_o breathe_v into_o they_o either_o a_o retreat_n or_o a_o onset_n a_o parley_n or_o a_o alarm_n oh_o how_o inexcusable_a be_v we_o that_o teach_v other_o shall_v be_v peaceable_a and_o be_v ourselves_o turbulent_a we_o be_v like_o physician_n that_o prescribe_v such_o rule_n to_o their_o patient_n as_o they_o never_o observe_v themselves_o it_o will_v never_o be_v well_o with_o we_o till_o we_o give_v our_o hearer_n a_o large_a and_o fair_a copy_n of_o peace_n and_o unity_n in_o our_o own_o practice_n 2._o i_o will_v exhort_v private_a christian_n to_o this_o duty_n to_o follow_v after_o peace_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o make_v for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n and_o especial_o one_o with_o another_o let_v i_o exhort_v you_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v these_o corinthian_n hear_v what_o he_o say_v to_o they_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n chap._n 1.10_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o

you_o desire_v peace_n and_o love_n and_o union_n among_o your_o brethren_n and_o neighbour_n and_o he_o will_v answer_v yes_o i_o do_v but_o though_o all_o seem_v to_o desire_v it_o how_o few_o be_v they_o that_o do_v real_o endeavour_v it_o or_o that_o will_v be_v at_o any_o cost_n or_o pain_n to_o accomplish_v it_o all_o exclaim_v against_o strife_n and_o division_n but_o though_o every_o one_o

1._o consider_v what_o god_n be_v he_o be_v as_o be_v say_v before_o the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o peace_n he_o be_v call_v 1_o thess_n 5.23_o the_o very_a god_n of_o peace_n and_o in_o 2_o thess_n 3.16_o the_o lord_n of_o peace_n himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n he_o be_v king_n of_o salem_n which_o be_v by_o interpretation_n

out_o of_o this_o world_n he_o bequeath_v unto_o his_o follower_n the_o precious_a legacy_n of_o peace_n the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o great_a worker_n of_o peace_n peace_n be_v one_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o cluster_n of_o these_o fruit_n in_o gal._n 5.22_o there_o be_v love_n joy_n peace_n long-suffering_a gentleness_n goodness_n what_o sweet_a fruit_n be_v here_o many_o christian_n live_v as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o taste_v any_o of_o they_o well_o but_o what_o a_o argument_n be_v here_o to_o provoke_v we_o to_o peaceableness_n this_o be_v to_o make_v we_o like_a unto_o god_n to_o resemble_v father_n son_n and_o spirit_n oh_o how_o contrary_a do_v they_o walk_v to_o god_n who_o walk_v in_o strife_n and_o contention_n 2._o consider_v what_o you_o be_v and_o profess_v to_o be_v you_o be_v the_o child_n the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o peace_n you_o be_v call_v to_o peace_n 1_o cor._n 7.15_o you_o have_v peace_n with_o

be_v strife_n betwixt_o abraham_n and_o lot_n see_v they_o be_v brethren_n oh_o consider_v christian_n you_o be_v child_n of_o the_o same_o father_n member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n professor_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n partaker_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n retainer_n to_o the_o same_o lord_n you_o have_v the_o same_o baptism_n and_o hope_n of_o your_o call_v and_o if_o you_o fall_v out_o who_o

your_o friend_n that_o stand_v by_o and_o look_v upon_o you_o while_o you_o discover_v your_o shame_n and_o nakedness_n no_o they_o be_v many_o of_o they_o your_o enemy_n and_o though_o they_o carry_v it_o fair_a outward_o yet_o they_o inward_o hate_v you_o and_o while_o you_o contend_v and_o quarrel_v one_o with_o another_o they_o laugh_v in_o their_o sleeve_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v aha!_o so_o will_v we_o have_v it_o it_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o folly_n of_o abraham_n and_o lot_n herdsman_n and_o servant_n that_o they_o shall_v strive_v together_o and_o one_o with_o another_o when_o the_o canaanite_n and_o the_o perizite_n dwell_v in_o the_o land_n you_o know_v how_o to_o apply_v it_o 4._o consider_v what_o the_o end_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v like_a to_o be_v our_o
