A29129	A cordial-mediator for accordance of brethren that are of different judgments and wayes of administration in things that concerne the Kingdome of God for repairing of the breach and restoring of the paths for many generations : wherein is proposed the way and means (not to inforce or compell to an outward dissembling, hypocriticall uniformity, which is all that can be inforced unto by humane authority, but) to induce and ingage to a cordiall-uniformity even of soule and spirit amongst all that are truly and really Christians, and to bring them likewise into the same wayes and ministrations in the things of God / written by Ellis Bradshaw.

christianity_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n do_v thereby_o provoke_v one_o another_o to_o wrath_n and_o enmity_n bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o till_o we_o be_v consume_v as_o be_v but_o

shall_v further_o propose_v those_o mean_n and_o way_n which_o as_o i_o conceive_v will_v strong_o conduce_v to_o the_o acquirement_n of_o this_o end_n through_o the_o help_n of_o god_n the_o which_o as_o i_o conceive_v be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n and_o such_o as_o without_o which_o there_o be_v little_a hope_n of_o this_o accordant_a nor_o of_o keep_v this_o commandment_n in_o the_o keep_n

our_o gift_n see_v mat._n 5.23_o 24._o 2._o therefore_o it_o be_v desire_v for_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v have_v fellowship_n one_o with_o another_o and_o each_o with_o any_o both_o in_o
