be_v but_o a_o appurtenance_n to_o faith_n or_o piety_n be_v absolute_o small_a but_o they_o be_v small_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o far_o great_a thing_n and_o so_o small_a that_o many_o be_v save_v without_o they_o and_o they_o be_v not_o of_o flat_a necessity_n to_o salvation_n and_o the_o great_a matter_n must_v be_v prefer_v before_o they_o 3._o by_o thing_n doubtful_a i_o do_v not_o

but_o i_o mean_v such_o point_n as_o be_v reveal_v certain_o but_o more_o dark_o than_o the_o great_a point_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v so_o clear_o know_v so_o that_o the_o sum_n be_v this_o 1._o

and_o it_o be_v not_o on_o such_o dark_a small_a matter_n that_o god_n have_v lay_v our_o salvation_n or_o that_o the_o church_n unity_n and_o peace_n depend_v ii_o for_o the_o full_a demonstration_n of_o this_o let_v these_o reason_n be_v observe_v 1._o if_o our_o unity_n be_v lay_v on_o these_o small_a matter_n the_o multitude_n of_o they_o be_v such_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o agree_v in_o all_o the_o essential_o of_o christianity_n be_v so_o few_o that_o all_o man_n may_v well_o be_v expect_v to_o learn_v and_o know_v and_o entertain_v they_o but_o the_o small_a point_n be_v so_o many_o that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o a_o universal_a agreement_n in_o they_o all_o you_o know_v in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n or_o beast_n the_o great_a master_n vein_n that_o be_v the_o stock_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o a_o few_o but_o follow_v they_o further_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v so_o many_o division_n and_o subdivision_n till_o you_o find_v they_o to_o be_v many_o hundred_o or_o thousand_o so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o artery_n and_o with_o the_o nerve_n the_o body_n of_o a_o tree_n be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o first_o division_n perhaps_o be_v but_o into_o two_o or_o three_o part_n but_o follow_v it_o to_o the_o very_a end_n of_o the_o branch_n and_o you_o may_v find_v many_o thousand_o so_o be_v it_o in_o divinity_n and_o therefore_o if_o none_o shall_v be_v in_o unity_n with_o the_o church_n but_o those_o that_o understand_v every_o branch_n of_o christian_a verity_n what_o hope_v of_o union_n can_v there_o be_v 2._o moreover_o the_o small_a point_n be_v far_o less_o discernible_a than_o the_o great_a be_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v the_o less_o hope_n that_o ever_o the_o church_n shall_v have_v unity_n in_o these_o the_o great_a arm_n of_o a_o tree_n be_v easy_o discern_v when_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o branch_n be_v very_o small_a the_o trunk_n of_o the_o master-vein_n be_v great_a and_o easy_o see_v but_o the_o point_n and_o capillar_n vein_n be_v so_o small_a as_o hardly_o to_o be_v perceive_v so_o god_n in_o mercy_n have_v make_v very_o plain_a those_o few_o essential_a point_n of_o faith_n that_o salvation_n lie_v on_o but_o if_o you_o follow_v on_o these_o general_n to_o all_o the_o particular_n and_o appurtenance_n you_o shall_v find_v they_o run_v so_o small_a as_o well_o as_o so_o many_o as_o

avoid_v they_o and_o the_o causer_n and_o fomenter_n of_o they_o there_o be_v never_o master_n so_o much_o for_o unity_n as_o christ_n and_o never_o be_v there_o a_o law_n or_o a_o religion_n that_o do_v so_o much_o condemn_v division_n and_o command_v brotherly_a love_n and_o peace_n and_o concord_n and_o forbear_v and_o forgive_a one_o another_o as_o the_o christian_a law_n and_o religion_n do_v and_o will_v you_o yet_o say_v that_o our_o division_n be_v long_o of_o our_o religion_n or_o of_o christ_n the_o author_n of_o it_o you_o may_v as_o wise_o say_v that_o eat_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o weakness_n because_o that_o some_o be_v weak_a for_o all_o their_o meat_n but_o you_o will_v find_v that_o none_o can_v live_v without_o it_o or_o you_o may_v say_v as_o wise_o that_o physician_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n of_o the_o world_n because_o they_o do_v not_o cure_v they_o all_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v none_o in_o all_o the_o world_n that_o have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o unity_n and_o peace_n as_o christ_n have_v do_v no_o all_o the_o world_n set_v together_o have_v not_o do_v half_o so_o much_o for_o it_o as_o he_o he_o have_v preach_v peace_n and_o unity_n

himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o his_o father_n that_o by_o his_o blood_n he_o may_v reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n he_o be_v the_o great_a peacemaker_n between_o god_n and_o man_n between_o jew_n and_o gentile_n take_v away_o the_o enmity_n and_o become_v himself_o the_o head_n of_o our_o unity_n and_o give_v we_o one_o spirit_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n that_o we_o may_v be_v one_o in_o he_o who_o be_v one_o with_o the_o father_n so_o that_o to_o charge_v the_o centre_n of_o unity_n with_o our_o division_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o peace_n himself_o with_o our_o discord_n or_o his_o holy_a word_n or_o way_n with_o our_o disagreement_n be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o charge_v the_o sun_n with_o darkness_n and_o to_o say_v that_o our_o lawgiver_n and_o law_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o theft_n and_o murder_n and_o adultery_n which_o condemn_v they_o to_o death_n that_o be_v prove_v guilty_a of_o they_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o disagreement_n and_o division_n be_v because_o we_o be_v no_o more_o holy_a than_o we_o be_v and_o because_o we_o be_v no_o more_o religious_a so_o that_o i_o may_v leave_v it_o now_o as_o a_o prove_v truth_n that_o we_o must_v
