another_o i_o will_v open_v this_o but_o in_o four_o thing_n 1._o it_o be_v the_o near_a way_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o union_n in_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n and_o so_o to_o a_o perfect_a communion_n each_o with_o other_o we_o have_v be_v these_o many_o year_n complain_v of_o separation_n call_v for_o peace_n and_o union_n but_o what_o course_n have_v we_o take_v to_o bring_v it_o about_o each_o party_n have_v be_v dispute_v for_o his_o differ_a notion_n and_o where_o this_o have_v be_v do_v nervous_o and_o calm_o the_o most_o rational_a mean_n have_v be_v use_v but_o we_o have_v see_v little_a good_a effect_n of_o it_o by_o reason_n of_o man_n pride_n and_o prejudice_n we_o have_v rather_o contend_v for_o mastery_n than_o for_o truth_n another_o parcel_n of_o man_n have_v fell_a to_o rail_n and_o revile_v call_v man_n schismatic_n heretic_n papist_n formalist_n now_o this_o have_v be_v just_a as_o proper_a a_o mean_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n as_o it_o will_v be_v to_o persuade_v other_o to_o live_v in_o the_o same_o house_n with_o we_o to_o call_v they_o knave_n and_o give_v they_o all_o the_o brutish_a language_n we_o can_v of_o late_o we_o have_v think_v nothing_o will_v do_v it_o but_o violence_n and_o according_o we_o have_v be_v fill_v gaol_n rifle_v house_n etc._n etc._n thus_o the_o spaniard_n have_v get_v a_o unity_n where_o he_o have_v to_o do_v by_o depopulate_v his_o country_n have_v we_o in_o stead_n of_o these_o fiery_a counsel_n but_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o whether_o we_o agree_v in_o every_o notion_n or_o no_o or_o meet_v at_o the_o same_o place_n to_o worship_n god_n by_o the_o same_o rite_n yea_o or_o no_o we_o will_v unite_v in_o counsel_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o the_o community_n in_o which_o we_o be_v involve_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v all_o office_n of_o love_n one_o to_o another_o we_o may_v by_o this_o time_n have_v better_o understand_v one_o another_o and_o all_o that_o true_o agree_v in_o the_o same_o end_n of_o glorify_v god_n will_v probable_o long_o ere_o this_o time_n have_v agree_v in_o the_o direct_v mean_n in_o order_n thereunto_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o have_v hitherto_o take_v the_o wrong_a way_n to_o peace_n 2._o it_o will_v open_v a_o great_a door_n for_o the_o conversion_n of_o other_o i_o do_v not_o mean_a conversion_n to_o a_o opinion_n that_o be_v a_o lamentable_a thing_n but_o conversion_n from_o sin_n unto_o god._n upon_o this_o argument_n the_o great_a apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n persuade_v the_o believe_a wife_n to_o abide_v with_o the_o unbelieve_a 16._o 1_o cor._n 3._o 16._o husband_n and_o the_o believe_a husband_n to_o abide_v with_o the_o unbelieve_a wife_n what_o know_v thou_o o_o wife_n but_o that_o thou_o may_v save_v thy_o husband_n etc._n etc._n god_n be_v love_n and_o so_o much_o the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o the_o worst_a man_n have_v so_o right_a a_o notion_n of_o god_n in_o this_o case_n that_o they_o can_v believe_v god_n be_v among_o a_o society_n of_o man_n where_o be_v nothing_o but_o fight_v and_o scratch_v rail_v at_o and_o revile_v of_o one_o another_o who_o yet_o be_v in_o religion_n brethren_n it_o make_v some_o so_o mad_a that_o they_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o go_v to_o hell_n than_o to_o heaven_n with_o such_o company_n as_o they_o say_v the_o indian_a do_v rather_o than_o to_o keep_v the_o spaniard_n company_n to_o heaven_n office_n of_o love_n be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o those_o good_a work_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n peter_n 12._o 1_o pet._n 2._o
