peace_n cap._n 7._o philip._n i_o d._n continue_v in_o one_o spirit_n and_o in_o one_o mind_n fight_v altogether_o through_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n &_o in_o nothing_o fear_v your_o

call_v by_o the_o prophet_n the_o message_n of_o peace_n b_o and_o the_o christian_n church_n the_o congregation_n of_o saint_n which_o do_v live_v in_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n insomuch_o that_o the_o propht_v esaie_n speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n say_v d_o that_o god_n will_v let_v peace_n into_o she_o as_o a_o water_n flood_n and_o the_o might_n of_o the_o heathen_a as_o a_o flow_a

the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n through_o the_o band_n of_o peace_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o all_o agree_v together_o may_v after_o the_o ensample_n of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o one_o mouth_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n praise_v g●d_v which_o be_v the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n c_o and_o that_o we_o hence_o forth_o be_v no_o more_o as_o child_n waver_v and_o carry_v about_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n but_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o truth_n with_o love_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n grow_v up_o in_o to_o he_o which_o be_v the_o head_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o avoid_v as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v possible_a the_o debate_n and_o contention_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o partiality_n touch_v the_o do_n of_o the_o religion_n b_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n do_v exhort_v the_o corinthian_n in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o all_o speak_v one_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o dissension_n among_o they_o but_o that_o they_o be_v knit_v together_o in_o one_o mind_n and_o in_o one_o judgement_n that_o they_o do_v continue_v of_o all_o one_o mind_n all_o fight_v of_o one_o courage_n by_o faith_n and_o also_o he_o do_v warn_v and_o admonish_v the_o philippian_n a_o that_o they_o be_v like_o mind_a have_v the_o self_n same_o love_n be_v of_o one_o

himself_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o write_v unto_o titus_n that_o he_o do_v suppress_v foolish_a question_n c_o and_o genelogy_n and_o brawl_a and_o strife_n about_o the_o law_n as_o vain_a and_o superfluous_a also_o the_o same_o saint_n paul_n do_v complain_v to_o the_o philippian_n b_o that_o some_o there_o be_v which_o preach_v christ_n of_o envy_n and_o strife_n and_o not_o pure_o also_o in_o his_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o say_v do_v that_o he_o and_o siluianus_fw-la have_v preach_v unto_o you_o god_n son_n jesus_n christ_n not_o in_o double_a word_n yea_o and_o

question_n and_o strife_n of_o word_n do_v engender_v envy_n strife_n rail_n evil_a furmise_v vain_a disputation_n of_o man_n with_o corrupt_a mind_n andrea_n say_v also_o in_o a_o other_o place_n a_o that_o if_o there_o be_v envy_v strife_n &_o sect_n among_o we_o we_o do_v declare_v that_o we_o be_v carnal_a and_o walk_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n for_o very_o he_o that_o be_v

ought_v to_o be_v unite_v and_o join_v together_o not_o only_o by_o natural_a conjunction_n and_o amity_n but_o also_o by_o unity_n of_o doctrine_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n say_v d_o that_o by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o we_o be_v his_o disciple_n if_o we_o have_v love_v one_o to_o a_o other_o c_o also_o saint_n paul_n do_v warn_v we_o to_o beware_v of_o they_o which_o cause_n division_n and_o offence_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v learn_v and_o avoid_v they_o consequent_o he_o which_o be_v contentious_a in_o the_o church_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n or_o do_v of_o the_o religion_n ●_o first_o of_o all_o he_o sin_v against_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o prince_n of_o peace_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v reconcile_v all_o thing_n unto_o himself_o &_o to_o set_v at_o peace_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n both_o thing_n in_o earth_n and_o thing_n in_o heaven_n second_o he_o do_v give_v occasion_n unto_o the_o simple_a and_o foolish_a people_n to_o err_v and_o go_v astray_o from_o the_o christian_n church_n in_o the_o which_o do_v lie_v and_o rest_v the_o pillar_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v great_o odious_a and_o hateful_a unto_o god_n jesus_n christ_n do_v teach_v and_o declare_v it_o when_o he_o say_v a_o woe_n be_v unto_o he_o through_o who_o offence_n come_v it_o be_v better_o for_o he_o that_o a_o great_a millstone_n be_v hang_v about_o his_o neck_n and_o that_o he_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o sea_n then_o that_o he_o shall_v offend_v one_o of_o these_o little_a one_o the_o which_o his_o apostle_n do_v confirm_v show_v unto_o the_o galatian_n b_o that_o he_o that_o trouble_v they_o shall_v bear_v his_o condemnation_n whosoever_o he_o be_v and_o desire_v that_o they_o that_o trouble_v they_o may_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o they_o final_o he_o do_v give_v occasion_n unto_o stranger_n and_o enemy_n of_o our_o religion_n to_o blame_v the_o name_n of_o god._n b_o according_a as_o the_o prophet_n do_v rebuke_v the_o governor_n &_o priest_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o have_v cause_v the_o multitude_n to_o be_v offend_v at_o the_o law_n d_o and_o saint_n paul_n write_v unto_o the_o roman_n say_v that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v evil_a speak_v off_o among_o the_o gentile_n through_o they_o and_o by_o good_a right_n a_o certain_a ancient_a author_n do_v complain_v ezechiel_n that_o we_o many_o way_n in_o the_o church_n do_v tear_n and_o rent_n god_n coat_n through_o our_o contention_n the_o which_o the_o soldier_n dare_v not_o divide_v in_o his_o passion_n the_o which_o do_v move_v sometime_o the_o jew_n as_o clement_n alexandrinus_n do_v witness_v to_o swell_v and_o rise_v up_o even_o there_o stro_fw-la against_o the_o christian_n to_o say_v that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o some_o pernicious_a sect_n and_o false_a religion_n because_o that_o the_o christian_n have_v debate_n and_o contention_n in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o same_o occasion_n that_o great_a heretic_n celsus_n and_o chief_a enemy_n of_o the_o christian_n celius_n do_v rebuke_v daily_o the_o christian_n of_o their_o division_n and_o partiality_n say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o expedient_a that_o they_o shall_v grow_v and_o increase_v to_o any_o more_o great_a number_n because_o that_o be_v but_o a_o few_o in_o number_n they_o will_v be_v of_o one_o accord_n and_o agree_v well_o together_o but_o assoon_o as_o they_o do_v multiply_v and_o wax_v many_o they_o will_v fall_v into_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n also_o samosetanus_n in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a history_n do_v witness_v history_n that_o the_o emperor_n constantine_n do_v suffer_v very_o impatient_o the_o controversy_n and_o contention_n of_o the_o christian_n say_v that_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o do_v turn_v many_o man_n from_o the_o christian_n religion_n unto_o who_o themistus_n a_o christian_n philosopher_n answer_v that_o the_o difference_n &_o controversy_n of_o the_o christian_n be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o confusion_n of_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o gentile_n also_o the_o same_o author_n say_v moreover_o that_o for_o certain_a small_a contention_n which_o do_v chance_n and_o happen_v to_o the_o church_n the_o church_n must_v not_o therefore_o leave_v and_o forsake_v the_o principal_a foundation_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n nor_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n but_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o lord_n do_v try_v and_o prove_v the_o heart_n of_o many_o &_o do_v declare_v &_o make_v plain_a the_o

apostle_n i_o do_v mean_v policarpus_fw-la ireneus_fw-la and_o denis_n nereus_n for_o whosoever_o will_v have_v regard_n in_o that_o matter_n to_o the_o number_n of_o person_n he_o must_v prefer_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n unto_o that_o of_o marry_o anna_n simeon_n elizabeth_n and_o zacharie_n because_o that_o the_o scribe_n &_o pharisee_n be_v more_o in_o number_n then_o those_o which_o do_v hold_v of_o the_o part_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o our_o enemy_n do_v abuse_v themselves_o great_o to_o think_v to_o stay_v or_o keep_v back_o the_o course_n or_o passage_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o to_o win_v we_o to_o their_o romish_a church_n hinder_v the_o exercise_n of_o our_o religion_n for_o if_o our_o exile_n loss_n of_o our_o good_n and_o so_o much_o
