if_o thou_o will_v obtain_v the_o precious_a unity_n of_o saint_n thou_o must_v not_o only_o seek_v peace_n but_o pursue_v it_o psal_n 34.14_o not_o stand_v still_o and_o call_v it_o to_o thou_o but_o

by_o all_o mean_n as_o in_o 2_o thess_n 3.16_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o soul_n prosper_v pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n they_o shall_v prosper_v that_o so_o love_v she_o nay_o if_o

well_o wisher_n to_o this_o truth_n that_o be_v able_a to_o proceed_v therefore_o if_o these_o line_n may_v but_o tend_v to_o awaken_v and_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o inquire_v
