there_o be_v nerve_n and_o ligament_n in_o the_o body_n to_o unite_v each_o part_n to_o other_o you_o see_v in_o a_o civil_a society_n if_o there_o be_v not_o union_n the_o glory_n of_o it_o present_o die_v division_n like_o moth_n rise_v from_o within_o and_o do_v immediate_o consume_v if_o then_o the_o happiness_n of_o believer_n lie_v in_o their_o communion-grace_n and_o duty_n what_o can_v be_v more_o glorious_a than_o unity_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o procure_v subserviency_n to_o one_o another_o as_o if_o several_a city_n be_v supply_v by_o pipe_n of_o water_n one_o to_o another_o if_o those_o pipe_n be_v stop_v or_o cut_v it_o bring_v a_o necessary_a destruction_n the_o second_o main_a particular_a be_v that_o christ_n purchase_v as_o mediator_n this_o privilege_n as_o well_o as_o other_o he_o do_v not_o only_o die_v to_o justify_v they_o to_o sanctify_v they_o other_o but_o to_o unite_v they_o also_o and_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o several_a thing_n as_o 1._o it_o shall_v not_o be_v account_v a_o slight_a and_o little_a sin_n to_o make_v any_o breach_n or_o division_n in_o god_n church_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n through_o strife_n and_o vainglory_n why_o because_o christ_n die_v against_o this_o he_o as_o mediator_n intend_v not_o only_o to_o save_v his_o people_n but_o to_o bring_v they_o into_o one_o why_o then_o do_v thou_o by_o thy_o contention_n by_o thy_o heretical_a opinion_n thus_o sin_n against_o christ_n death_n his_o intercession_n and_o his_o prayer_n be_v for_o the_o same_o effect_n now_o you_o see_v in_o this_o chapter_n that_o his_o prayer_n for_o unity_n be_v ingeminated_a over_o and_o over_o again_o and_o therefore_o christ_n have_v this_o even_a in_o his_o thought_n in_o his_o very_a death_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o also_o at_o his_o death_n he_o appoint_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o though_o chief_o to_o seal_v god_n grace_n to_o we_o yet_o it_o do_v also_o signify_v the_o love_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v to_o one_o another_o as_o the_o apostle_n urge_v 1_o cor._n 10._o that_o as_o the_o several_a corn_n make_v up_o one_o bread_n thus_o do_v the_o godly_a make_v up_o one_o mystical_a body_n division_n then_o in_o the_o church_n be_v against_o christ_n death_n and_o against_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o death_n shall_v we_o therefore_o run_v into_o such_o sin_n that_o have_v such_o a_o heinous_a aggravation_n 2._o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n where_o they_o see_v these_o division_n be_v to_o improve_v this_o argument_n for_o unity_n even_o as_o when_o they_o groan_v under_o any_o corruption_n and_o will_v glad_o have_v the_o mastery_n of_o it_o they_o run_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n pray_v o_o lord_n do_v not_o christ_n die_v that_o these_o sin_n may_v die_v be_v not_o christ_n crucify_v to_o crucify_v these_o lust_n so_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o unity_n oh_o lord_n make_v all_o thy_o people_n of_o one_o heart_n of_o one_o mind_n and_o spirit_n because_o christ_n die_v for_o this_o also_o let_v not_o his_o death_n be_v in_o vain_a thou_o will_v not_o suffer_v his_o bone_n to_o be_v break_v nor_o his_o garment_n divide_v why_o then_o shall_v his_o church_n be_v tear_v and_o divide_v do_v not_o think_v humane_a policy_n and_o invent_v syncretism_n will_v be_v able_a to_o solder_v together_o it_o must_v be_v this_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o obtain_v this_o 3._o christ_n do_v not_o only_o meritorious_o purchase_v this_o unity_n by_o his_o death_n but_o in_o he_o exemplary_o and_o formal_o we_o be_v make_v one_o so_o that_o christ_n be_v both_o the_o moral_a cause_n of_o this_o unity_n and_o the_o exemplar_n also_o for_o he_o by_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n make_v god_n and_o man_n one_o when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o infinite_a distance_n before_o there_o be_v make_v the_o most_o intimate_a union_n that_o can_v be_v even_o a_o hypostatical_a union_n between_o god_n and_o man_n now_o though_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o such_o a_o union_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o all_o believer_n be_v make_v one_o with_o god_n and_o among_o themselves_o hence_o be_v that_o often_o
