A81213	The moderator: endeavouring a full composure and quiet settlement of those many differences both in doctrine and discipline, which have so long disturbed the peace and welfare of this common-wealth. Intended (especially at this time) to beget a brotherly love and unity amongst the ministers and people of all the three nations; the Parliament having now appointed a committee for receiving proposals for the propagation of the gospel. Brotherly unity amongst all Christians, especially amongst the ministers of Christ, being in it self so excellent and comely at all times, and (considering the danger and sad consequences of our present divisions) so desirable and necessary at this time: I conceive all overtures and counsels having a true tendency thereunto, worthy the publike light, and do therefore approve the publication of this ensuing discourse.

they_o ought_v to_o mind_n among_o themselves_o and_o acquaint_v their_o hearer_n withal_o these_o three_o assertion_n first_o that_o the_o ground_n wherefore_o they_o ought_v to_o profess_v and_o practice_v unity_n and_o forbearance_n one_o towards_o another_o be_v the_o undeniable_a law_n of_o christian_a brotherhood_n second_o that_o the_o term_n of_o unity_n whereunto_o they_o have_v already_o attain_v be_v full_a and_o satisfactory_a and_o that_o the_o term_n of_o the_o forbearance_n which_o they_o shall_v intend_v to_o practice_v be_v plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v acknowledge_v and_o settle_v among_o they_o three_o that_o the_o motive_n which_o shall_v induce_v they_o to_o the_o acknowledgement_n profession_n practice_n and_o setlement_n thereof_o be_v as_o strong_a as_o

in_o unrighteousness_n as_o it_o be_v do_v by_o many_o to_o the_o great_a dishonour_n of_o their_o ministry_n and_o of_o christianity_n itself_o for_o it_o be_v a_o very_a sad_a thing_n and_o extreme_o destructive_a to_o the_o honour_n of_o true_a christianity_n to_o see_v those_o man_n that_o in_o all_o main_a thing_n be_v full_o agree_v and_o can_v be_v otherwise_o esteem_v as_o to_o man_n then_o true_o sincere_a and_o godly_a in_o their_o walk_n not_o only_o to_o regard_v the_o cause_n why_o brotherhood_n be_v so_o little_o regard_v drive_v opposite_a design_n and_o course_n one_o to_o another_o in_o religious_a matter_n without_o just_a cause_n but_o even_o hateful_o to_o seem_v willing_a to_o destroy_v one_o another_o only_o through_o want_n of_o charity_n in_o themselves_o and_o for_o mere_a infirmity_n and_o incivility_n in_o other_o which_o the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o aim_n of_o christianity_n oblige_v they_o to_o bear_v withal_o and_o the_o more_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a these_o man_n seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o way_n wherein_o they_o agree_v with_o their_o brethren_n the_o more_o destructive_a and_o pernicious_a be_v the_o consequence_n of_o their_o fail_n in_o this_o kind_n unto_o the_o brotherhood_n of_o christianity_n because_o it_o cause_v every_o small_a matter_n of_o difference_n to_o be_v heighten_v so_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o their_o follower_n that_o all_o the_o ground_n of_o unity_n of_o love_n of_o forbearance_n and_o of_o mutual_a edification_n be_v not_o only_o weaken_v but_o direct_o cast_v off_o and_o disregard_v this_o do_v put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o fail_n of_o john_n and_o james_n disciple_n set_a forth_o in_o the_o example_n of_o james_n and_o johns_n disciple_n which_o be_v mention_v luke_n 9_o ver_fw-la 53._o till_o 57_o christ_n be_v go_v with_o they_o towards_o jerusalem_n in_o his_o way_n he_o pass_v by_o a_o village_n of_o the_o samaritan_n and_o they_o perceive_v that_o his_o face_n be_v towards_o jerusalem_n will_v not_o receive_v he_o and_o give_v he_o civil_a entertainment_n whereat_o james_n and_o john_n be_v so_o high_o offend_v that_o they_o will_v have_v revenge_v this_o injury_n with_o their_o utter_a destruction_n by_o fire_n from_o heaven_n but_o christ_n do_v rebu●●_n they_o and_o tell_v they_o two_o thing_n first_o you_o know_v not_o say_v he_o what_o manner_n of_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o second_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v your_o spirit_n be_v distemper_v and_o

transport_v with_o zealous_a distemper_n wherein_o satan_n do_v take_v hold_n of_o they_o for_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o james_n and_o john_n be_v true_o godly_a and_o faithful_a disciple_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o here_o they_o be_v transport_v with_o a_o zeal_n which_o be_v not_o godly_a but_o devilish_a be_v altogether_o also_o undeniable_a 2._o that_o the_o devilish_a zeal_n of_o godly_a man_n may_v arise_v in_o they_o from_o their_o love_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o from_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o indignity_n do_v unto_o it_o which_o they_o can_v brook_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o unworthy_a man_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o nothing_o can_v occasion_v this_o excess_n in_o james_n and_o john_n so_o much_o as_o their_o great_a love_n and_o high_a esteem_n of_o christ_n worth_n and_o the_o injury_n which_o they_o think_v be_v do_v to_o he_o and_o themselves_o by_o such_o man_n as_o they_o think_v samaritan_n to_o be_v viz._n man_n of_o corrupt_a principle_n in_o religion_n schismatic_n and_o unworthy_a of_o their_o society_n for_o the_o jew_n have_v no_o deal_n with_o the_o samaritan_n 9_o john_n 4._o 9_o 3._o that_o this_o love_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o indignity_n do_v to_o it_o by_o unworthy_a man_n may_v be_v mix_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o self-love_n which_o be_v indiscernible_a unto_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v thereby_o for_o it_o may_v be_v conjecture_v that_o although_o the_o disciple_n love_v their_o master_n sincere_o and_o think_v he_o high_o affront_v by_o the_o samaritan_n that_o will_v not_o give_v he_o lodging-roome_n yet_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v sensible_a at_o all_o of_o their_o own_o inconveniency_n of_o not_o be_v refresh_v with_o meat_n when_o they_o be_v hungry_a and_o of_o the_o affront_n do_v to_o themselves_o not_o to_o be_v civil_o entertain_v when_o they_o be_v weary_a be_v not_o at_o all_o likely_a but_o it_o may_v be_v probable_o gather_v from_o circumstance_n that_o the_o disappointment_n of_o their_o expectation_n messenger_n be_v send_v before_o to_o make_v ready_a for_o they_o when_o they_o be_v weary_a &_o hungry_a do_v heighten_v both_o their_o discontent_n and_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o injury_n do_v unto_o their_o master_n 4_o that_o even_o godly_a man_n when_o they_o be_v ensnare_v into_o passion_n occasion_v by_o injury_n will_v for_o small_a matter_n of_o private_a concernment_n be_v sometime_o set_v upon_o thought_n of_o revenge_n take_v up_o destructive_a resolution_n and_o thereby_o forget_v the_o main_a end_n of_o their_o profession_n for_o we_o see_v all_o this_o in_o the_o apostle_n and_o by_o christ_n reproof_n of_o they_o and_o his_o reason_n take_v from_o the_o end_n of_o his_o ministry_n whereunto_o all_o his_o and_o their_o action_n be_v to_o be_v subordinate_a it_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o what_o they_o have_v forget_v now_o as_o it_o be_v with_o james_n and_o john_n in_o this_o case_n so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o godly_a man_n in_o like_a case_n for_o in_o these_o time_n of_o controversy_n wherein_o division_n be_v heighten_v to_o the_o utmost_a it_o do_v often_o fall_v out_o that_o man_n be_v of_o different_a party_n for_o far_o lesser_a cause_n than_o jew_n and_o samaritan_n be_v divide_v yet_o look_v upon_o one_o another_o with_o no_o less_o animositie_n than_o do_v the_o jew_n upon_o the_o samaritan_n and_o the_o samaritan_n upon_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v with_o so_o much_o prejudice_n that_o if_o they_o find_v a_o man_n but_o look_v towards_o that_o party_n to_o which_o they_o have_v set_v themselves_o in_o opposition_n as_o the_o samaritan_n find_v christ_n face_n set_v towards_o jerusalem_n they_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o deal_v with_o he_o as_o the_o samaritan_n deal_v with_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n refuse_v he_o civility_n use_v he_o inhumane_o and_o perhaps_o offer_v injury_n both_o in_o deed_n and_o word_n these_o injury_n will_v sometime_o be_v take_v as_o reflect_v upon_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o profession_n sometime_o upon_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o innocence_n of_o the_o party_n which_o we_o favour_v and_o if_o withal_o as_o ofttimes_o it_o fall_v out_o some_o private_a concernment_n of_o our_o own_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o public_a interest_n that_o will_v main_o heighten_v the_o sense_n of_o those_o injury_n and_o transport_v we_o unto_o some_o excess_n of_o zeal_n for_o when_o any_o degree_n of_o passion_n for_o self_n concernment_n do_v meet_v in_o our_o affection_n with_o any_o object_n of_o true_a zeal_n and_o a_o ground_n of_o public_a interest_n to_o mix_v withal_o and_o raise_v itself_o upon_o than_o it_o become_v a_o mighty_a one_o and_o a_o giantlike_a passion_n as_o when_o in_o the_o first_o
