A62154	An expedient for peace, or some Christian and reasonable proposals, once more renewed and offered again to Friends of Reading conducing to an amicable composure of differences among them: with a healing epistle to them from Friends of Bristol, on both sides, tenderly advising them to meet all together again in their ancient publick meeting house. As also a seasonable expostulation and a persuasive to a reconciliation, with some remarkable testimonies added to promote the same and several objections against it answered, which may tend to a general service.

comprehensive_a there_o be_v not_o only_o two_o or_o three_o but_o a_o whole_a complex_fw-la or_o system_fw-la of_o evil_a work_n always_o attend_v strife_n envy_n etc._n etc._n wherever_o the_o same_o be_v give_v place_n to_o among_o any_o sort_n of_o people_n and_o we_o find_v that_o some_o be_v ready_a even_o to_o glory_n in_o their_o bitter_a envy_n and_o strife_n which_o they_o have_v in_o their_o heart_n one_o against_o another_o 15._o james_n 3.14_o 15._o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o to_o lie_v against_o the_o truth_n and_o in_o their_o zeal_n and_o wisdom_n conclude_v the_o same_o to_o be_v consistent_a therewith_o but_o this_o wisdom_n say_v he_o descend_v not_o from_o above_o but_o be_v earthly_a sensual_a and_o devilish_a and_o who_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n endure_v with_o knowledge_n among_o you_o how_o shall_v such_o a_o one_o be_v know_v by_o this_o let_v he_o show_v out_o of_o a_o good_a conversation_n his_o work_n with_o meekness_n of_o wisdom_n even_o from_o that_o which_o be_v from_o above_o and_o that_o be_v first_o pure_a then_o peaceable_a gentle_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v full_a of_o mercy_n and_o good_a fruit_n and_o observe_v and_o without_o partiality_n and_o without_o hypocrisy_n here_o we_o may_v all_o see_v who_o be_v true_o the_o wise_a man_n and_o both_o the_o earthly_a and_o the_o heavenly_a wisdom_n with_o the_o proper_a effect_n each_o produce_v and_o if_o we_o judge_v the_o cause_n by_o the_o effect_n it_o be_v easy_o see_v which_o of_o the_o two_o be_v predominant_a xxi_o and_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n he_o begin_v with_o a_o querie_n from_o whence_o come_v war_n and_o fight_n among_o you_o what_o even_o they_o who_o he_o call_v brethren_n come_v they_o not_o hence_o this_o be_v his_o answer_n even_o of_o your_o lust_n that_o war_n in_o your_o member_n be_v it_o not_o from_o ambition_n covetousness_n a_o greedy_a desire_n after_o pre-eminence_n who_o shall_v be_v great_a

say_v in_o the_o 5_o 11_o 12_o verse_n do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o scripture_n say_v in_o vain_a the_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o we_o lu_v to_o envy_v speak_v not_o evil_n one_o of_o another_o brethren_n he_o that_o speak_v evil_a of_o his_o brother_n and_o judge_v his_o brother_n speak_v evil_a of_o the_o law_n and_o judge_v the_o law_n and_o there_o be_v one_o lawgiver_n who_o be_v able_a to_o save_v and_o destroy_v who_o be_v thou_o that_o judge_v another_o or_o as_o paul_n have_v it_o in_o rom._n 14.4_o another_o man_n servant_n to_o his_o own_o master_n he_o stand_v or_o fall_v yea_o he_o shall_v be_v hold_v up_o however_o harsh_o or_o uncharitable_o he_o may_v be_v censure_v and_o judge_v for_o god_n be_v able_a to_o make_v he_o stand_v let_v we_o not_o therefore_o judge_v one_o another_o any_o more_o xxii_o we_o be_v as_o much_o caution_v and_o prohibit_v not_o to_o walk_v in_o strife_n and_o envy_v as_o in_o riot_v and_o drunkenness_n etc._n etc._n the_o former_a be_v as_o well_o count_v the_o work_n of_o darkenness_n as_o the_o latter_a in_o rom._n 13.13_o and_o the_o apostle_n we_o also_o find_v reckon_v among_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n envy_n hatred_n variance_n wrath_n and_o strife_n and_o though_o these_o be_v different_a name_n yet_o may_v be_v all_o sum_v up_o in_o one_o great_a evil_n express_v by_o the_o word_n enmity_n or_o

other_o particular_a work_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o express_v with_o so_o many_o word_n to_o aggravate_v the_o same_o as_o this_o of_o envy_n or_o strife_n and_o when_o we_o be_v exhort_v to_o follow_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o the_o next_o verse_n it_o be_v add_v look_v diligent_o lest_o any_o root_n of_o bitterness_n spring_v up_o trouble_v you_o it_o be_v observable_a how_o much_o or_o most_o indeed_o the_o apostle_n place_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o these_o heavenly_a and_o excellent_a virtue_n which_o be_v most_o direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o aforementioned_a work_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o love_n joy_n peace_n long_o suffer_v gentleness_n goodness_n meekness_n temperance_n these_o be_v all_o he_o mention_n except_o faith_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o though_o they_o also_o be_v express_v by_o divers_a character_n yet_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o one_o spirit_n so_o they_o all_o tend_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o which_o the_o word_n charity_n may_v comprehend_v they_o all_o xxiii_o we_o find_v that_o very_o early_o even_o christ_n own_o disciple_n begin_v to_o strive_v together_o by_o the_o way_n and_o it_o be_v about_o who_o shall_v be_v great_a too_o as_o in_o luke_n 9.46_o and_o it_o be_v from_o their_o carnal_a reason_n that_o this_o ambition_n proceed_v upon_o which_o jesus_n take_v a_o child_n and_o set_v he_o by_o he_o by_o which_o they_o may_v learn_v how_o innocent_a and_o humble_a and_o little_a they_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o in_o mat._n 20.23_o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v move_v viz._n ten_o of_o the_o disciple_n against_o their_o brethren_n but_o jesus_n call_v they_o unto_o he_o and_o say_v you_o know_v that_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o gentile_n exercise_v dominion_n over_o they_o and_o they_o that_o be_v great_a exercise_n authority_n upon_o they_o but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o and_o o_o that_o it_o have_v never_o be_v so_o upon_o no_o account_n among_o any_o who_o have_v profess_v to_o be_v his_o disciple_n etc._n etc._n but_o whosoever_o will_v be_v great_a among_o you_o let_v he_o be_v your_o minister_n and_o whosoever_o will_v be_v chief_a among_o you_o let_v he_o be_v your_o servant_n even_o as_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v not_o to_o be_v miniser_v unto_o but_o to_o minister_v and_o to_o give_v his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o many_o xxiv_o and_o all_o such_o who_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n of_o envy_n hatred_n etc._n etc._n and_o be_v of_o a_o bitter_a sour_a spirit_n and_o do_v not_o repent_v of_o it_o will_v as_o undoubted_o be_v exclude_v and_o shut_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o those_o who_o live_v and_o die_v in_o other_o gross_a extravagancy_n 5.2_o job_n 5.2_o for_o wrath_n kill_v the_o foolish_a man_n and_o envy_n slay_v the_o silly_a one_o and_o as_o christ_n tell_v they_o plain_o in_o his_o time_n who_o its_o like_a conceit_a themselves_o to_o be_v great_a saint_n as_o with_o respect_n to_o those_o upon_o who_o the_o tower_n of_o siloe_n fall_v 13.4_o luke_n 13.4_o think_v you_o say_v he_o that_o they_o be_v sinner_n above_o all_o the_o man_n that_o dwell_v in_o jerusalem_n i_o tell_v you_o nay_o but_o except_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v and_o this_o same_o he_o tell_v other_o over_o again_o in_o the_o forego_n verse_n let_v we_o all_o therefore_o beware_v of_o envy_v or_o as_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v grudge_v not_o one_o against_o another_o brethren_n lest_o you_o be_v condemn_v behold_v the_o judge_n
