against_o profaneness_n and_o vice_n the_o necessity_n of_o it_o to_o avert_v the_o just_a wrath_n and_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o expect_v and_o dread_v

for_o reformation_n of_o manner_n and_o against_o all_o profane_a and_o immoral_a practice_n namely_o that_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o hope_n that_o it_o may_v prove_v hereafter_o a_o excellent_a mean_n of_o unite_n the_o establish_v church_n and_o the_o dissenter_n and_o of_o propagate_a the_o reform_a religion_n among_o those_o who_o be_v stranger_n to_o it_o and_o prejudice_v against_o it_o it_o will_v not_o be_v here_o needful_a to_o inquire_v into_o the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o our_o unhappy_a division_n nor_o shall_v i_o take_v up_o your_o time_n in_o lament_v the_o misery_n which_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o they_o it_o concern_v we_o much_o more_o to_o learn_v how_o our_o breach_n may_v be_v heal_v and_o those_o wound_n cure_a which_o have_v often_o reduce_v our_o religion_n to_o a_o very_a languish_v condition_n and_o they_o who_o have_v most_o serious_o consider_v this_o matter_n have_v with_o great_a reason_n observe_v that_o nothing_o will_v more_o allay_v our_o heat_n and_o animosity_n nothing_o lay_v a_o better_a foundation_n for_o a_o firm_a and_o last_a union_n among_o protestant_n than_o our_o become_a zealous_a and_o active_a against_o vice_n and_o profaneness_n for_o first_o our_o joint_o endeavour_v to_o beat_v down_o public_a wickedness_n must_v needs_o unite_v the_o affection_n of_o all_o those_o who_o be_v concern_v in_o that_o excellent_a undertake_n we_o can_v but_o love_n and_o value_v all_o who_o have_v a_o active_a zeal_n for_o god_n and_o religion_n though_o in_o some_o thing_n their_o judgement_n may_v be_v different_a from_o we_o there_o be_v charm_n in_o piety_n which_o none_o can_v resist_v and_o if_o we_o love_v god_n ourselves_o we_o must_v love_v those_o also_o who_o serve_v he_o in_o humility_n and_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n though_o we_o may_v judge_v they_o mistake_v in_o thing_n of_o lesser_a moment_n but_o now_o unity_n of_o affection_n be_v a_o necessary_a preparative_a for_o unity_n of_o judgement_n and_o true_a holy_a zeal_n unite_v the_o mind_n as_o well_o as_o heart_n of_o all_o those_o in_o who_o it_o dwell_v and_o if_o we_o go_v on_o to_o assist_v one_o another_o in_o suppress_v lewdness_n immorality_n and_o profaneness_n we_o will_v soon_o be_v convince_v that_o difference_n of_o opinion_n about_o the_o circumstance_n of_o religion_n when_o we_o agree_v in_o all_o the_o essential_o of_o it_o shall_v never_o make_v we_o hate_n and_o calumniate_v one_o another_o but_o that_o whatever_o our_o sentiment_n as_o to_o some_o particular_n may_v be_v we_o be_v brethren_n and_o fellow_n christian_n servant_n of_o the_o same_o lord_n partaker_n of_o the_o same_o bless_a hope_n and_o heir_n of_o the_o same_o eternal_a kingdom_n that_o though_o we_o differ_v in_o a_o little_a in_o the_o road_n we_o take_v yet_o we_o both_o direct_v our_o course_n towards_o the_o same_o heaven_n whither_o they_o who_o be_v true_o pious_a humble_a and_o sincere_a of_o both_o party_n may_v hope_v to_o arrive_v at_o last_o and_o where_o without_o controversy_n or_o dispute_n they_o shall_v for_o ever_o dwell_v together_o in_o the_o profound_a peace_n and_o most_o charitable_a agreement_n but_o as_o our_o be_v true_o zealous_a against_o profaneness_n and_o vice_n have_v a_o natural_a tendency_n to_o unite_n our_o affection_n so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o will_v convince_v we_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o unite_n together_o in_o worship_n and_o sacrament_n and_o every_o other_o way_n for_o the_o more_o zealous_a we_o be_v against_o vice_n the_o more_o clear_o will_v we_o see_v the_o great_a mischief_n which_o be_v cause_v by_o our_o division_n the_o more_o full_o will_v we_o be_v convince_v that_o they_o be_v the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o a_o general_n reformation_n of_o manner_n that_o the_o most_o prevail_a vice_n and_o impiety_n be_v owe_v to_o they_o and_o that_o till_o they_o be_v remove_v reformation_n may_v be_v wish_v for_o but_o can_v never_o be_v happy_o effect_v for_o this_o be_v the_o great_a popular_a objection_n against_o our_o religion_n insist_v on_o so_o much_o by_o the_o enemy_n of_o piety_n that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o party_n among_o we_o that_o they_o know_v not_o who_o to_o close_v with_o and_o therefore_o will_v treat_v they_o all_o with_o equal_a neglect_n and_o scorn_n this_o be_v what_o some_o
