peace_n than_o difference_n in_o small_a matter_n or_o external_o be_v of_o hatred_n division_n and_o mutual_a destruction_n be_v not_o such_o a_o destruction_n like_a unto_o this_o that_o when_o two_o owner_n of_o a_o field_n of_o corn_n can_v agree_v about_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o hedge_n upon_o this_o disagreement_n they_o will_v both_o agree_v to_o set_v the_o corn_n on_o fire_n and_o destroy_v it_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o destroy_v the_o corn_n for_o that_o very_a thing_n who_o main_a if_o not_o only_o use_v be_v to_o preserve_v it_o let_v saint_n hear_v the_o voice_n and_o judgement_n of_o moses_n a_o great_a saint_n and_o who_o in_o this_o voice_n speak_v as_o one_o that_o be_v design_v to_o be_v the_o great_a judge_n of_o israel_n why_o sttive_a you_o since_o you_o be_v brethren_n why_o tear_v you_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n into_o piece_n for_o the_o clothes_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o the_o body_n better_o than_o raiment_n christ_n have_v shed_v his_o blood_n for_o his_o saint_n and_o his_o spirit_n into_o the_o saint_n to_o purchase_v love_n peace_n and_o unity_n for_o they_o do_v not_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o purchase_n by_o division_n and_o tear_v his_o body_n asunder_o lest_o he_o again_o cry_v out_o from_o heaven_n why_o do_v you_o persecute_v i_o and_o why_o do_v you_o tear_v i_o in_o piece_n in_o my_o member_n let_v we_o not_o prefer_v low_a quarrel_n and_o opinion_n before_o christ_n dwell_v and_o live_v in_o his_o member_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o make_v idol_n of_o they_o and_o to_o make_v ourselves_o like_o those_o of_o

sincere_o examine_v the_o matter_n both_o as_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o a_o wise_a man_n as_o a_o christian_a let_v he_o ask_v his_o soul_n whether_o it_o can_v be_v the_o spirit_n that_o hate_v and_o endeavour_n to_o destroy_v a_o man_n that_o have_v the_o spirit_n certain_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o spirit_n shall_v hate_v the_o spirit_n or_o he_o that_o have_v it_o for_o the_o

spiritual_a man_n to_o do_v with_o the_o flesh_n but_o to_o kill_v it_o and_o not_o for_o the_o flesh_n to_o kill_v those_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n second_o as_o a_o wise_a man_n who_o will_v by_o such_o division_n and_o opposition_n of_o brethren_n make_v a_o gap_n and_o open_v a_o gate_n for_o the_o common_a enemy_n to_o come_v in_o and_o destroy_v both_o wherefore_o to_o conclude_v let_v not_o lesser_a fault_n or_o exception_n which_o may_v stand_v with_o brotherhood_n dissolve_v brother_n hood_n much_o less_o set_a brethren_n to_o destroy_v one_o another_o and_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o abraham_n judgement_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o tell_v his_o nephew_n lot_n let_v we_o not_o strive_v because_o we_o be_v brethren_n yet_o first_o of_o all_o mean_n shall_v be_v use_v for_o reconciliation_n and_o satisfaction_n thus_o do_v the_o whole_a congregation_n of_o israel_n by_o messenger_n send_v to_o the_o tribe_n of_o

doubtful_a and_o disputable_a difference_n yea_o doubtful_a breach_n of_o covenant_n to_o break_v that_o plain_a and_o downright_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o each_o one_o of_o we_o according_a to_o our_o place_n and_o interest_n shall_v endeavour_v that_o these_o kingdom_n may_v remain_v conjoin_v in_o a_o firm_a peace_n and_o union_n to_o all_o posterity_n to_o break_v a_o certain_a and_o clear_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o uncertainty_n be_v a_o most_o certain_a sin_n sure_o the_o breach_n of_o this_o peace_n and_o union_n be_v in_o itself_o a_o great_a judgement_n upon_o the_o kingdom_n but_o how_o great_a a_o judgement_n shall_v he_o deserve_v that_o by_o a_o breach_n of_o oath_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o this_o judgement_n come_v not_o into_o their_o
