one_o great_a reason_n why_o we_o have_v so_o little_a peace_n upon_o earth_n be_v because_o we_o seek_v after_o it_o more_o than_o after_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n you_o will_v must_v remember_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o this_o unity_n that_o we_o must_v labour_v after_o must_v be_v in_o a_o scripture_n way_n the_o primitive_a church_n for_o unity_n sake_n and_o to_o
