It is not indispensably necessary concerning mens going to Heaven and entring thorough the gates into the city that they are of this judgment or of that perswasion holding the head holding the foundation but their living in love is necessary Divide impera Divide and rule divide and rage divide and ruine is the sophistry of the prince of darkness Division is an unhappy weed and it grows apace 'T is pity that Abraham and Lot should fall out by the way 'T is pity that Man should make Two whom God hath made One 'T is pity that one Christian should now say to another Dic aliquid ut duo simus as one Man formerly spake to another Speak something that we may be Two Division of Tongues hindred the building of Babel division of Hands Heads and Hearts hinders the building of Beth-el Is it expensive then 't is real He that most loves a Christ will most lay out himself for Christ A true lover of Christ is willing to be at cost for Christ.
