long-suffering_a and_o forbearance_n so_o it_o follow_v in_o that_o text._n ay_o these_o be_v the_o grace_n we_o must_v exercise_v ourselves_o unto_o and_o in_o if_o we_o will_v keep_v the_o peace_n among_o brethren_n these_o be_v unite_n and_o adorn_v grace_n but_o these_o ornament_n be_v lay_v aside_o and_o quite_o out_o of_o fashion_n in_o our_o time_n 2._o you_o must_v imbibe_n such_o principle_n as_o have_v a_o unite_n property_n let_v i_o mention_v some_o few_o of_o these_o and_o i_o will_v but_o mention_v they_o 1._o the_o first_o be_v that_o christian_n shall_v be_v one_o in_o affection_n though_o they_o be_v of_o different_a opinion_n in_o the_o lesser_a matter_n of_o religion_n if_o they_o have_v not_o altogether_o the_o same_o mind_n yet_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o love_n that_o be_v the_o apostle_n phrase_n in_o phil._n 2.2_o 2._o a_o second_o be_v that_o peace_n be_v such_o a_o precious_a commodity_n that_o we_o must_v purchase_v it_o whatsoever_o we_o pay_v for_o it_o whatsoever_o it_o cost_v we_o provide_v we_o do_v it_o part_v with_o apparent_a truth_n and_o true_a holiness_n we_o have_v a_o good_a bargain_n of_o it_o 3._o a_o three_o be_v that_o in_o many_o case_n it_o be_v more_o honourable_a to_o yield_v than_o to_o overcome_v it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n to_o have_v power_n over_o ourselves_o than_o to_o have_v power_n over_o other_o the_o story_n of_o two_o philosopher_n aristippus_n and_o aeschines_n be_v very_o memorable_a when_o they_o be_v at_o variance_n aristippus_n come_v to_o aeschines_n and_o say_v come_v shall_v we_o be_v friend_n yes_o say_v aeschines_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n now_o remember_v say_v aristippus_n that_o though_o i_o be_o your_o senior_n yet_o i_o first_o seek_v peace_n true_o say_v aeschines_n and_o for_o this_o i_o shall_v always_o acknowledge_v you_o the_o more_o worthy_a person_n for_o i_o begin_v the_o strife_n and_o you_o the_o peace_n 4._o a_o four_o be_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v too_o mild_a and_o gentle_a than_o to_o be_v too_o severe_a and_o rigorous_a if_o lenity_n be_v at_o any_o time_n a_o error_n it_o be_v a_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n it_o be_v by_o much_o the_o more_o eligible_a extreme_a oh_o how_o great_a a_o virtue_n be_v moderation_n 5._o a_o five_o be_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o suffer_v the_o great_a evil_n than_o to_o do_v the_o least_o by_o the_o former_a i_o may_v be_v mischief_v by_o other_o but_o by_o the_o latter_a i_o mischief_n myself_o 6._o a_o six_o be_v the_o weal_n of_o the_o public_a be_v to_o be_v prefer_v to_o our_o personal_a welfare_n the_o contention_n and_o division_n that_o be_v among_o christian_n proceed_v from_o the_o narrowness_n of_o their_o spirit_n man_n of_o public_a spirit_n be_v man_n of_o peaceable_a spirit_n oh_o what_o haltion_n day_n shall_v we_o see_v if_o christian_n be_v possess_v of_o these_o and_o such_o like_a principle_n 3._o you_o must_v exercise_v and_o inure_v yourselves_o

be_v but_o sparkle_v at_o first_o if_o let_v alone_o they_o will_v quick_o grow_v into_o a_o great_a flame_n how_o much_o have_v i_o see_v a_o little_a fire_n kindle_v when_o christian_n fall_v out_o one_o person_n or_o patty_n it_o may_v be_v be_v faulty_a at_o first_o but_o by_o and_o by_o such_o as_o be_v faultless_a be_v involve_v in_o the_o same_o guilt_n solomon_n say_v prov._n 17.14_o that_o the_o beginning_n of_o strife_n be_v as_o when_o one_o let_n out_o water_n if_o it_o be_v not_o present_o stop_v it_o will_v bear_v down_o all_o before_o it_o oh_o nip_v contention_n in_o the_o bud_n or_o you_o know_v not_o to_o what_o they_o will_v grow_v or_o how_o far_o they_o will_v spread_v 2._o remember_v that_o good_a old_a rule_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o do_v to_o other_o what_o you_o will_v have_v other_o to_o do_v to_o you_o this_o practice_n will_v set_v we_o all_o to_o right_n will_v not_o you_o have_v other_o bear_v with_o you_o then_o do_v you_o bear_v with_o other_o will_v not_o you_o have_v other_o put_v the_o best_a sense_n upon_o your_o word_n and_o action_n why_o then_o do_v you_o put_v the_o best_a sense_n upon_o other_o word_n and_o action_n will_v not_o you_o have_v other_o to_o reproach_n and_o backbite_v you_o then_o do_v you_o reproach_v and_o back_n bite_v other_o do_v but_o walk_v by_o this_o rule_n and_o as_o one_o say_v your_o own_o will_n

that_o little_a member_n cause_v much_o contention_n in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o church_n what_o peaceable_a time_n shall_v we_o see_v if_o christian_n have_v the_o grace_n to_o govern_v
