ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o strong_a in_o the_o faith_n let_v we_o then_o remember_v that_o though_o charity_n be_v their_o duty_n too_o as_o well_o as_o we_o yet_o it_o be_v to_o such_o as_o we_o be_v especial_o that_o st._n paul_n address_v the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o text_n 1.7_o to_o bear_v the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o weak_a and_o to_o receive_v one_o another_o as_o christ_n also_o

man_n error_n be_v such_o as_o do_v utter_o subvert_v the_o very_a essential_o of_o our_o religious_a worship_n it_o be_v there_o in_o vain_a to_o hope_v for_o any_o communion_n in_o the_o public_a

only_o that_o he_o may_v receive_v that_o holy_a sacrament_n in_o their_o company_n it_o be_v no_o doubt_n a_o very_a desirable_a thing_n to_o lessen_v the_o difference_n of_o christian_n and_o enlarge_v their_o communion_n as_o far_o as_o ever_o we_o can_v and_o it_o have_v never_o go_v well_o with_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n since_o man_n have_v be_v so_o narrow-spirited_n as_o to_o mix_v the_o controversy_n of_o faith_n with_o their_o public_a form_n of_o worship_n and_o have_v make_v their_o liturgy_n instead_o of_o be_v office_n of_o devotion_n to_o god_n become_v test_n and_o censure_n of_o the_o opinion_n of_o their_o brethren_n but_o yet_o when_o all_o be_v do_v the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n must_v not_o be_v sacrifice_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o christian_n nor_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v give_v up_o to_o keep_v up_o a_o unity_n and_o communion_n with_o one_o another_o but_o where_o man_n difference_n be_v in_o point_n that_o do_v not_o at_o all_o

such_o case_n as_o this_o our_o dissension_n ought_v not_o only_o not_o to_o lessen_v our_o charity_n but_o not_o to_o break_v our_o unity_n neither_o we_o may_v continue_v to_o differ_v as_o the_o christian_n in_o my_o text_n do_v and_o yet_o with_o one_o mind_n and_o one_o mouth_n glorify_v god_n as_o st._n paul_n exhort_v they_o to_o do_v and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o point_n three_o that_o to_o this_o end_n 3._o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o of_o we_o but_o especial_o of_o the_o strong_a christian_n not_o only_o to_o pray_v for_o such_o a_o union_n but_o also_o as_o they_o have_v opportunity_n hearty_o to_o labour_v themselves_o and_o earnest_o to_o stir_v up_o all_o other_o to_o endeavour_v after_o it_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o good_a christian_a so_o little_o affect_v with_o those_o unhappy_a division_n under_o which_o the_o church_n at_o this_o day_n labour_n as_o not_o both_o hearty_o to_o deplore_v they_o and_o to_o think_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v too_o much_o that_o may_v innocent_o be_v do_v on_o all_o hand_n for_o the_o redress_v of_o they_o but_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o this_o must_v be_v what_o both_o my_o text_n and_o this_o discourse_n be_v design_v to_o exhort_v you_o to_o viz._n that_o we_o ought_v every_o one_o of_o we_o not_o only_o hearty_o to_o pray_v for_o such_o a_o union_n but_o also_o as_o we_o have_v opportunity_n earnest_o to_o labour_v for_o the_o attainment_n of_o it_o indeed_o for_o what_o concern_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n on_o earth_n so_o many_o be_v the_o dispute_n that_o have_v arisen_a among_o the_o several_a party_n and_o communion_n of_o it_o and_o some_o of_o they_o in_o point_n so_o near_o to_o the_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n that_o whilst_o man_n resolve_v to_o keep_v fast_o to_o their_o conclusion_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o plain_a argument_n to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o error_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o hope_v ever_o to_o see_v thing_n bring_v to_o such_o a_o temper_n as_o we_o can_v wish_v in_o that_o but_o especial_o whilst_o that_o part_n which_o be_v the_o most_o corrupt_a be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v willing_a to_o concur_v to_o any_o such_o union_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_a she_o have_v cut_v off_o all_o possibility_n of_o attain_v it_o and_o by_o arrogate_a a_o unwarrantable_a infallibility_n to_o herself_o and_o authority_n over_o all_o other_o will_v neither_o reform_v she_o own_o abuse_n nor_o admit_v any_o into_o her_o

to_o unite_v in_o a_o common_a faith_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o for_o we_o who_o it_o have_v please_v god_n by_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o error_n and_o superstition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o unite_v together_o in_o the_o common_a name_n of_o protestant_n reform_v christian_n will_v we_o but_o as_o hearty_o labour_n after_o peace_n as_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o very_o
