Should not the Commands and Prayers of a dying Lord and lover of His Brethren and Spouse be highly regarded and carefully obeyed backed with the intreaties of the Holy Ghost by his Pen-man most pathetically 1 Cor. 1. 10. I beseech you brethren by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye all speak the same thing that there be no divisions amongst you that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement Philip. 2. 2. If there be any consolation in Christ if any comfort in love if any fellowship of the Spirit if any bowels and mercies fulfil ye my joy that ye be like-minded having the same love being of one accord of one mind So exceeding wonderfully the two Natures of God and Man were united to unite Christians to God in Christ and in them to one another and our Saviour His body was rent to keep His Church from rent His Soul and Body separate to keep His Church from separation He prayed before His death for their union He died to unite them and the Holy Ghost the God of Peace and Love charges them in the Name of the Lord Jesus to be united in one mind and in one judgement and yet alace how many in this Land who profess themselves the Brethren and Sisters of Jesus left their first Love and violated this commanded union with their Brethren and Mother Church of Scotland who did once hang upon her Breasts and sucked the Breasts of her Consolations Isa 66. 11. were dandled on her knees and nursed with the sincere milk of the Word 1 Pet. 2. 2. yet too many of these not only despise their Mother Church but also run from her in scattered and confused Troups as if they were fleeing in the day of Battel from the sword of the Pursuer yea some cry out and swear they will lend their ear no more to their Mothers Instruction they will have no more of her Milk nor eat of her Bread in the Lords Supper nor pollute their Children with her Baptism and albeit their Mother cry after them with bowels of tenderest Christian compassion they answer with disdain Stand by thy self come not near to me for I am holier then thou Isa 66. 5. see what is the Lords answer to these these are a smoke in my nose a fire that burneth all the day and behold it is written before me I will not keep silence but will recompense even recompense it into their bosome That your words to your Mother Church are the same in substance with these forecited in Isaiah is clear to any impartial Reader therefore I intreat you in the bowels of Jesus Christ let not that fire and smoke of your Separation provoke the Lord any longer At present

guard the Flocks of Christ against Antitrinitarian Hereticks but in Heaven there is no danger for no Devil nor Antitrinitarian will be there to tempt and the glorified Saints will be made perfect in Holinesse I answer when Isaiah 6. 2 3. The Seraphims cryed one to another by way of Authem Holy Holy Holy is the Lord of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory Here I hope was neither Arian nor Antitrinitarian yea I affirm according to the Seraphims singing a Doxology to the Trinity that although there had never been Antitrinitarian Heretick nor danger of Devils to tempt them to that heresie seing the Angels in Heaven did sing a Doxology to the blessed Trinity which is granted by the universal Church then shall it not be lawfull expedient and comely for Christians to sing Glory to Father Son and Holy Ghost whose motto in Baptism is to be Baptized in Name of Father Son and Holy Ghost Therefore to conclude this Chapter these who have Scruple or Doubts to sing the Doxology for want of knowledge my prayer is to God Father Son and Holy Ghost who is the Father of Lights to reveal even this unto them that we may with one Mind and with one Mouth glorifie God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Rom. 15. 6. Now to God Father Son and Holy Ghost be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all Ages world without end Amen Ephes 3. Chap. at the last verse CHAP. XIV An exhortatory Conclusion to the strong and orderly Christian to receive and imbrace with all Christian love and tenderness every weak Christian who shall return from their wandring in Error to live in Order and Unity in the Bosom of their Mother Church BEing now to conclude this little Treatise As its scope and aim is for healing and helping home of the wandring Sheep so my work in this Chapter is to remove all Stones and Stumbling-blocks out of the way of the weak Lambs returning to their Folds again and I beseech you put not the blame so much upon these Lambs as upon these Men w●o drew them away and missed them and let all good Christians rejoyce in their return and welcome them home and that because of the manifold Evils that this Kingdom was groaning under which now God in His Mercy hath almost removed Was not in many Families the Father against the Son and a Man's Enemies these of his own Houshold did not many Flocks forsake their Fold and resting Place and strayed in the gloomy and dark Day was not the empty Walls of many empty Paroch-Churches mourning and the Stones of-emptiness crying out and Pastors lamenting that their Flocks were departed and a few left yea sometimes the Pastor so evil intreated by his Flock turning Wolves that he must needs convey himself away out of that place some being spoiled some wounded some killed some like desolate Widows mourning in secret in a desolate Retirement like Jeremiah in his wished Cortage in the Wilderness Jer. 9. 2. and for a long time the Magistrate loath to use rigour which made them the more inexcusable and at last they display an open Banner of Rebellion whereby they wilfully run themselves into a Labyrinth of Miseries to be killed and spoiled and many impoverished and not a few suffered death by the hand of Justice whose infatuate Souls with that four leaven of their dangerous Doctrines was at their death a far more sad spectacle to the Godly then their bodily death which remembers me of David's bitter mourning for his traiterous son Absalom's death and this Malady and sore Disease came to so great a height that it threatned death which was more then once prevented by opening of a Vein and many thought our Disease incurable and that it would turn at last to be a rooted Hectick to the consuming of the Marrow but blessed be our kind Samaritan who beyond the expectation of many and much more beyond our deservings hath pitied us for it was a time of love and when we were lying in our Blood he said Live again he said Live Ezek. 16. 6. even when the Enemy was saying there is no help for him in God yet he hath poured in Wine and Oyl in our Wounds and letten us by sweet experience know that there is both a Physician and Balm in Gilead and the God of our Health hath rebuked that Feaver and hath commanded and created deliverance Then let every one of us rejoyce in God and count it our glory to be workers together with God Is this a time of healing let us concur and contribute our help Is the Lord's Flock returning then cast up cast up gather out the Stones Hath the Lord Jesus awakened out of sleep and rebuked the Winds and Seas so that now there is a great Calm then let us all help to row to bring the Vessel to a safe Harbour when the Lord is bringing back the captivity of His People let our Mouthes be filled with laughter and our Tongue with singing behold and see not one Dove alone returning to the Ark of their Mother Church with an Olive branch Gen. 8. 11. but a whole cloud of these Doves are flying to their Windows Isa 60. 8. Are not the Pastors returned to their Flocks with joy who went away weeping returning with the full blessing of the Gospel of Christ now to bring forth the peaceable fruits of Righteousness of their sad and desolate retirement and widow-head Lam. 3. 27 28 29. like St. Basil returning from the Desart and St. Athanasius from his Exile and now that promised Blessing shall be given them Isa 30. v. 29. your eye shall see your Teachers And now my Brethren who had precious retirement to read meditate and pray and a sad cross to put you to it then with Timothy 1 Tim. 4. 15. let your profiting appear to all Ye know what Luther writes Prayers Meditation and Temptation made good Theologues and the Flocks that have been mispending their time had the more need to redeem the time Now I turn my speech unto you in this Church who are strong and have overcome that evil one and have obtained Grace to live orderly before God and His Church during the time of these Confusions as your compassionate Souls did grieve for Sin weep in secret before the Lord to enlighten inform and reform them to reclaim and reduce them therefore hath the Lord given you a gracious return of your Prayers in returning them then open your loving Hearts and embrace them and these hands that were with outstreached arm lifted up to God for them let your arms embrace them and by word and deed and contenuance express the sincerity of your love to them and as the Lord hath given you more knowledge then to them let it be your generosity not to insult over them or despise them but with all tenderness not to look down but to stoop down to their Weakness and let the strong elder Brother stoop down
