shall_v not_o hurt_v nor_o destroy_v in_o all_o his_o holy_a mountain_n isai_n 11.7_o 8_o 9_o he_o have_v say_v verse_n 13._o that_o the_o envy_n of_o ephraim_n shall_v depart_v and_o the_o adversary_n of_o judah_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o that_o ephraim_n shall_v not_o envy_v judah_n nor_o judah_n vex_v ephraim_n he_o have_v say_v that_o judah_n and_o ephraim_n though_o two_o stick_n shall_v be_v join_v one_o to_o another_o into_o one_o stick_n and_o they_o shall_v become_v one_o in_o his_o hand_n ezek._n 37.16_o 17._o and_o he_o have_v far_a promise_v that_o he_o will_v turn_v to_o his_o people_n a_o pure_a language_n and_o they_o shall_v serve_v he_o with_o one_o consent_n or_o shoulder_n zeph._n 3.9_o that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o way_n these_o and_o divers_a other_o promise_v god_n have_v make_v of_o this_o sort_n which_o he_o like_v his_o people_n shall_v plead_v and_o put_v he_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o wish_v i_o can_v say_v that_o this_o generation_n shall_v not_o pass_v away_o till_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v but_o consider_v the_o improbability_n of_o such_o a_o blessing_n for_o the_o present_a i_o fear_v i_o may_v take_v up_o balaam_n word_n and_o say_v who_o shall_v live_v when_o god_n will_v do_v this_o in_o mean_a time_n what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o besiege_v heaven_n and_o apply_v to_o god_n by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n to_o do_v this_o together_o and_o to_o do_v this_o apart_o that_o god_n will_v cause_v these_o jangle_n and_o contention_n that_o be_v among_o his_o people_n to_o cease_v if_o some_o plague_n or_o drought_n come_v upon_o we_o we_o shall_v reckon_v it_o high_a time_n to_o fast_a and_o pray_v yet_o these_o as_o one_o observe_v be_v in_o themselves_o but_o misery_n when_o our_o contention_n be_v so_o our_o misery_n that_o they_o be_v also_o our_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v these_o devil_n of_o strife_n and_o division_n will_v be_v drive_v out_o no_o other_o way_n but_o by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n let_v i_o conclude_v all_o with_o a_o double_a exhortation_n the_o first_o be_v to_o those_o that_o be_v minister_n they_o be_v the_o ambassador_n of_o peace_n they_o be_v send_v by_o he_o who_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n therefore_o they_o shall_v use_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o prevent_v and_o remove_v all_o strife_n and_o division_n yet_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v i_o know_v not_o they_o be_v many_o time_n the_o great_a promoter_n thereof_o one_o have_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v few_o rent_n and_o contention_n in_o church_n in_o which_o minister_n have_v not_o the_o chief_a hand_n i_o have_v a_o remarkable_a note_n upon_o hosea_n 9.8_o he_o say_v veteres_n scrutans_fw-la historias_fw-la nullos_fw-la invenire_fw-la possum_fw-la

rend_v the_o church_n like_o those_o that_o sustain_v the_o office_n of_o minister_n this_o be_v a_o sad_a charge_n and_o it_o be_v too_o just_o lay_v upon_o many_o of_o that_o order_n luther_n pray_v that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v deliver_v from_o sundry_a evil_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n a_o pastore_fw-la contentioso_fw-la from_o contentious_a preacher_n or_o pastor_n it_o touch_v i_o to_o the_o quick_a the_o other_o day_n to_o hear_v one_o tell_v i_o that_o we_o who_o be_v minister_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o contention_n that_o be_v in_o city_n and_o country_n at_o this_o day_n i_o think_v with_o myself_o there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o truth_n in_o what_o he_o say_v if_o we_o will_v unite_v and_o agree_v our_o hearer_n will_v unite_v and_o agree_v likewise_o general_o it_o be_v like_o pastor_n like_o people_n they_o be_v tuba_fw-la instata_fw-la a_o sound_a trumpet_n they_o sound_v according_a to_o the_o breath_n we_o breathe_v into_o they_o either_o a_o retreat_n

prescribe_v such_o rule_n to_o their_o patient_n as_o they_o never_o observe_v themselves_o it_o will_v never_o be_v well_o with_o we_o till_o we_o give_v our_o hearer_n a_o large_a and_o fair_a copy_n of_o peace_n and_o unity_n in_o our_o own_o practice_n 2._o i_o will_v exhort_v private_a christian_n to_o this_o duty_n to_o follow_v after_o peace_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o make_v for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n and_o especial_o one_o with_o another_o let_v i_o exhort_v you_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v these_o corinthian_n hear_v what_o he_o say_v to_o they_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n chap._n 1.10_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o

judgement_n hear_v what_o he_o say_v to_o they_o in_o his_o second_o epistle_n chap._n 13.11_o final_o brethren_n farewell_n be_v of_o one_o mind_n live_v in_o peace_n and_o the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o peace_n shall_v be_v with_o you_o oh_o that_o this_o exhortation_n can_v reach_v all_o the_o christian_n in_o england_n and_o in_o london_n oh_o that_o every_o pulpit_n in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o city_n do_v ring_n with_o this_o message_n peace_n and_o union_n be_v that_o which_o all_o seem_v to_o desire_v pacem_fw-la te_fw-la poscimus_fw-la omnes_fw-la ask_v every_o man_n in_o this_o congregation_n or_o in_o this_o city_n have_v you_o any_o hand_n in_o the_o strife_n and_o division_n that_o be_v among_o we_o and_o he_o will_v answer_v no_o not_o i_o again_o ask_v any_o one_o do_v you_o desire_v peace_n and_o love_n and_o union_n among_o your_o brethren_n and_o neighbour_n and_o he_o will_v answer_v yes_o i_o do_v but_o though_o all_o seem_v to_o desire_v it_o how_o few_o be_v they_o that_o do_v real_o endeavour_v it_o or_o that_o will_v be_v at_o any_o cost_n or_o pain_n to_o accomplish_v it_o all_o exclaim_v against_o strife_n and_o division_n but_o though_o every_o one_o cry_n out_o of_o the_o thief_n who_o will_v be_v at_o the_o trouble_n to_o stop_v he_o give_v i_o leave_v now_o in_o the_o close_a of_o all_o to_o commend_v to_o you_o some_o move_a consideration_n 1._o consider_v what_o god_n be_v he_o be_v as_o be_v say_v before_o the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o peace_n he_o be_v call_v 1_o thess_n 5.23_o the_o very_a god_n of_o peace_n and_o in_o 2_o thess_n 3.16_o the_o lord_n of_o peace_n himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n he_o be_v king_n of_o salem_n which_o be_v by_o interpretation_n king_n of_o peace_n his_o enter_v into_o this_o world_n be_v solemnize_v with_o a_o song_n of_o peace_n while_o he_o stay_v in_o this_o world_n he_o preach_v and_o make_v peace_n when_o he_o depart_v out_o of_o this_o world_n he_o bequeath_v unto_o his_o follower_n the_o precious_a legacy_n of_o peace_n the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o great_a worker_n of_o peace_n peace_n be_v one_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o cluster_n of_o these_o fruit_n in_o gal._n 5.22_o there_o be_v love_n joy_n peace_n long-suffering_a gentleness_n goodness_n what_o sweet_a fruit_n be_v here_o many_o christian_n live_v as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o taste_v any_o of_o they_o well_o but_o what_o a_o argument_n be_v here_o to_o provoke_v we_o to_o peaceableness_n this_o be_v to_o make_v we_o like_a unto_o god_n to_o resemble_v father_n son_n and_o spirit_n oh_o how_o contrary_a do_v they_o walk_v to_o god_n who_o walk_v in_o strife_n and_o contention_n 2._o consider_v what_o you_o be_v and_o profess_v to_o be_v you_o be_v the_o child_n the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o peace_n you_o be_v call_v to_o peace_n 1_o cor._n 7.15_o you_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v have_v peace_n one_o with_o another_o you_o be_v go_v to_o one_o home_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v not_o fall_v out_o by_o the_o way_n why_o shall_v there_o be_v strife_n betwixt_o abraham_n and_o lot_n see_v they_o be_v brethren_n oh_o consider_v christian_n you_o be_v child_n of_o the_o same_o father_n member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n professor_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n partaker_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n retainer_n to_o the_o same_o lord_n you_o have_v the_o same_o baptism_n and_o hope_n of_o your_o call_v and_o if_o you_o fall_v out_o who_o shall_v agree_v you_o shall_v be_v loop_a together_o as_o

quarrelsome_a they_o that_o be_v saint_n and_o will_v be_v so_o account_v they_o must_v behave_v themselves_o as_o more_o than_o mere_a men._n thus_o i_o have_v a_o little_a discant_v upon_o the_o term_n in_o the_o text._n there_o be_v three_o observation_n that_o be_v obvious_a to_o every_o eye_n obs_n 1._o that_o envy_n or_o envy_v be_v the_o cause_n and_o companion_n of_o strife_n and_o division_n obs_n 2._o that_o strife_n and_o division_n be_v often_o find_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o among_o particular_a christian_n obs_n 3._o that_o so_o far_o as_o these_o prevail_v in_o any_o they_o be_v carnal_a and_o walk_v as_o men._n it_o be_v the_o second_o of_o these_o observation_n that_o i_o shall_v insist_v upon_o and_o in_o the_o handle_n thereof_o i_o shall_v touch_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o first_o and_o the_o three_o this_o then_o be_v the_o point_n before_o we_o that_o strife_n and_o division_n be_v often_o find_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o among_o particular_a christian_n this_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o you_o shall_v hear_v and_o we_o shall_v preach_v with_o weep_a eye_n and_o with_o break_a heart_n let_v this_o be_v premise_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o civil_a contention_n such_o as_o be_v in_o kingdom_n and_o commonwealth_n but_o with_o religious_a or_o rather_o irreligious_a contention_n and_o division_n such_o as_o be_v in_o church_n and_o among_o particular_a christian_n and_o these_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n either_o when_o christian_n differ_v in_o doctrine_n and_o opinion_n or_o else_o when_o though_o they_o agree_v pretty_a well_o in_o opinion_n yet_o they_o break_v the_o bond_n of_o love_n and_o peace_n they_o fall_v into_o faction_n and_o party_n and_o live_v in_o malice_n and_o uncharitableness_n have_v as_o one_o express_v it_o rancour_n in_o their_o heart_n revile_n in_o their_o mouth_n rage_n and_o rudeness_n in_o their_o carriage_n one_o towards_o another_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n and_o among_o these_o corinthian_n the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o 1_o cor._n 11.18_o that_o he_o hear_v there_o be_v division_n among_o they_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d schism_n and_o rent_n and_o then_o again_o in_o 1_o cor._n 1.11_o he_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v declare_v to_o he_o by_o they_o of_o the_o house_n of_o chloe_n you_o see_v he_o tell_v they_o from_o who_o he_o have_v this_o relation_n he_o quote_v his_o author_n that_o there_o be_v contention_n among_o they_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d strife_n and_o quarrel_n and_o then_o again_o in_o the_o text_n he_o tell_v they_o that_o there_o be_v not_o only_a strife_n and_o contention_n but_o division_n and_o faction_n among_o they_o and_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o do_v particularize_v and_o instance_n in_o some_o of_o these_o division_n and_o faction_n some_o of_o they_o say_v they_o be_v of_o paul_n and_o other_o they_o be_v of_o apollo_n he_o do_v not_o here_o find_v fault_n with_o their_o respect_v one_o minister_n more_o than_o another_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o but_o christian_n must_v needs_o esteem_v they_o most_o by_o who_o they_o receive_v most_o good_a by_o who_o ministry_n they_o have_v be_v convert_v and_o bring_v home_o to_o god_n how_o can_v these_o corinthian_n but_o honour_n paul_n when_o paul_n himself_o say_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n that_o he_o have_v beget_v they_o through_o the_o gospel_n and_o if_o they_o have_v never_o so_o many_o instructer_n yet_o he_o be_v their_o father_n again_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o christian_n shall_v respect_v some_o minister_n more_o than_o other_o because_o of_o their_o relation_n to_o they_o and_o because_o of_o their_o excel_a gift_n and_o grace_n and_o the_o like_a you_o will_v say_v then_o where_o lay_v the_o fault_n of_o these_o corinthian_n when_o some_o of_o they_o say_v they_o be_v of_o paul_n and_o other_o of_o they_o they_o be_v of_o apollo_n why_o their_o fault_n seem_v to_o lie_v in_o this_o that_o they_o cry_v up_o paul_n and_o apollo_n in_o a_o factious_a side_a way_n they_o have_v it_o may_v be_v their_o person_n in_o admiration_n they_o make_v they_o head_n of_o party_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o call_v themselves_o after_o their_o name_n it_o be_v as_o if_o some_o have_v say_v they_o be_v paul_n disciple_n and_o other_o have_v say_v they_o be_v apollo_n disciple_n and_o follower_n though_o here_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o say_v no_o more_o than_o we_o be_v of_o paul_n and_o we_o be_v of_o apollo_n yet_o doubtless_o there_o be_v divers_a of_o they_o that_o upon_o occasion_n do_v enlarge_v themselves_o upon_o this_o subject_n methinks_v i_o hear_v a_o factious_a corinthian_a speak_v in_o this_o wise_a oh_o what_o a_o incomparable_a person_n or_o preacher_n be_v paul_n how_o be_o i_o ravish_v with_o the_o gracious_a word_n that_o come_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n next_o to_o the_o see_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o to_o be_v desire_v than_o to_o hear_v paul_n from_o the_o pulpit_n he_o speak_v as_o if_o he_o have_v a_o window_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o hearer_n as_o if_o he_o be_v within_o a_o man_n and_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o conscience_n he_o be_v a_o true_a gospel-preacher_n how_o sweet_o do_v he_o display_v the_o grace_n the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o christ._n as_o for_o apollo_n he_o be_v a_o mere_a flash_n a_o tinkle_a cymbal_n and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o withal_o that_o he_o be_v a_o arminian_n a_o legal_a preacher_n one_o that_o preach_v nothing_o but_o work_n well_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o of_o paul_n i_o be_o his_o disciple_n apollo_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v name_v the_o same_o day_n with_o he_o another_o say_v when_o he_o have_v do_v well_o commend_v i_o to_o apollo_n for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o of_o apollo_n he_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o eloquent_a person_n a_o most_o rhetorical_a and_o golden-mouthed_a preacher_n he_o charm_v his_o hearer_n and_o chain_n their_o ear_n to_o his_o lip_n by_o the_o fluency_n and_o variety_n of_o his_o expression_n he_o do_v captivate_v their_o heart_n and_o affection_n moreover_o he_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d fervent_a in_o spirit_n he_o have_v not_o such_o a_o drowsy_a dream_v way_n of_o preach_v as_o some_o

a_o antinomean_a he_o cry_v down_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o make_v light_a of_o personal_a and_o inherent_a righteousness_n well_o let_v who_o will_v be_v of_o paul_n i_o be_o of_o apollo_n i_o be_o one_o of_o his_o disciple_n i_o do_v say_v that_o such_o as_o this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o any_o of_o the_o citizen_n of_o london_n but_o this_o or_o such_o like_a be_v the_o language_n of_o the_o citizen_n of_o corinth_n the_o factiousness_n of_o these_o corinthian_n be_v far_o exemplify_v by_o that_o parallel_n place_n in_o 1_o cor._n 1.12_o there_o you_o read_v how_o every_o one_o of_o they_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_n and_o i_o of_o apollo_n and_o i_o of_o cephas_n and_o i_o of_o christ._n by_o every_o one_o of_o they_o he_o mean_v many_o or_o several_a of_o they_o here_o be_v two_o more_o mention_v than_o be_v before_o and_o they_o be_v cephas_n and_o christ_n by_o cephas_n be_v mean_v peter_n we_o do_v read_v that_o he_o be_v ever_o at_o corinth_n how_o then_o come_v he_o to_o be_v in_o such_o request_n among_o the_o corinthian_n to_o this_o it_o be_v say_v that_o some_o of_o the_o corinthian_n who_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v jew_n and_o because_o peter_n be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o circumcision_n therefore_o they_o magnify_v he_o and_o say_v they_o be_v his_o disciple_n but_o what_o do_v they_o mean_v who_o say_v they_o be_v of_o christ_n this_o be_v commendable_a in_o person_n to_o call_v themselves_o after_o his_o name_n to_o own_v themselves_o to_o be_v his_o disciple_n it_o be_v no_o fault_n in_o a_o man_n to_o call_v christ_n master_n and_o to_o profess_v himself_o a_o christian_n therefore_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_n do_v put_v a_o good_a sense_n upon_o this_o clause_n chrysostom_n think_v this_o be_v paul_n
