pet._n 2._o 17._o when_o he_o say_v love_v the_o brotherhood_n in_o any_o narrow_a sense_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v every_o one_o that_o be_v a_o christian_n not_o only_o because_o he_o

we_o to_o love_v he_o thus_o with_o a_o ordinary_a kind_n of_o love_n in_o wish_v he_o well_o and_o do_v he_o good_a for_o so_o we_o ought_v to_o love_n and_o do_v good_a to_o all_o but_o there_o be_v a_o more_o strict_a tie_n of_o love_n that_o lie_v upon_o we_o christian_n one_o to_o another_o and_o therefore_o although_o the_o apostle_n wish_v we_o to_o do_v good_a to_o all_o man_n yet_o

will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o uncharitableness_n nor_o peradventure_o so_o much_o dissension_n among_o christian_n why_o can_v we_o not_o consider_v one_o another_o as_o unite_a in_o this_o bless_a name_n of_o christian_a and_o set_v aside_o for_o a_o time_n those_o name_n of_o faction_n and_o division_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o rejoice_v awhile_o in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o we_o agree_v and_o not_o always_o be_v wrangle_v about_o those_o thing_n wherein_o we_o differ_v of_o what_o moment_n those_o opinion_n be_v wherein_o we_o disagree_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o determine_v this_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o the_o point_n wherein_o we_o be_v friend_n be_v of_o far_o great_a consequence_n than_o those_o be_v wherein_o we_o fall_v out_o and_o yet_o we_o so_o eager_o

for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v be_v loath_a to_o exclude_v any_o visible_a christian_a church_n from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n and_o if_o i_o must_v needs_o offend_v i_o have_v rather_o give_v account_n to_o a_o merciful_a god_n for_o too_o much_o mildness_n and_o charity_n than_o too_o much_o fierceness_n and_o severity_n yet_o i_o hope_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o my_o opinion_n of_o charity_n shall_v not_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o verity_n a_o chief_a cause_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o these_o dissension_n be_v that_o man_n mind_n not_o so_o much_o the_o common_a cause_n of_o christianity_n as_o their_o own_o particular_a engagement_n nor_o stndy_a how_o they_o may_v agree_v one_o with_o another_o as_o how_o to_o uphold_v the_o side_n they_o be_v on_o whereas_o will_v they_o set_v aside_o prejudice_n and_o partiality_n and_o cast_v a_o equal_a eye_n upon_o all_o the_o church_n they_o will_v not_o spy_v so_o many_o fault_n abroad_o and_o so_o few_o at_o home_n but_o will_v free_o confess_v there_o may_v be_v great_a concord_n among_o christian_n then_o now_o there_o be_v no_o other_o unity_n do_v i_o labour_v for_o at_o this_o time_n but_o that_o of_o charity_n that_o christian_n will_v not_o for_o some_o difference_n in_o opinion_n pronounce_v such_o a_o heavy_a sentence_n upon_o one_o another_o as_o be_v that_o of_o damnation_n if_o god_n shall_v deal_v with_o we_o as_o we_o deal_v with_o one_o another_o if_o he_o shall_v censure_v we_o all_o as_o we_o censure_v one_o another_o i_o know_v not_o who_o shall_v be_v save_v the_o papist_n damn_v the_o protestant_n and_o some_o among_o we_o the_o papist_n and_o both_o of_o they_o any_o other_o that_o shall_v differ_v from_o they_o both_o but_o my_o hope_n be_v and_o my_o hearty_a prayer_n to_o god_n shall_v be_v that_o he_o will_v be_v more_o merciful_a to_o all_o these_o than_o they_o be_v one_o to_o another_o when_o i_o consider_v with_o myself_o the_o manifold_a distraction_n of_o christian_n about_o religion_n and_o the_o great_a fierceness_n and_o violence_n use_v on_o all_o side_n every_o one_o think_v his_o own_o opinion_n true_a and_o consequent_o damn_v all_o other_o that_o differ_v from_o he_o i_o can_v not_o but_o call_v to_o mind_v that_o prophecy_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n mat._n 24._o 12._o concern_v these_o latter_a and_o worse_a time_n because_o iniquity_n shall_v abound_v say_v he_o the_o love_n of_o many_o shall_v wax_v cold_a for_o although_o charity_n of_o itself_o be_v of_o a_o hot_a and_o diffusive_a nature_n yet_o now_o clean_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o it_o be_v in_o most_o man_n grow_v cold_a it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o cold_a to_o contract_v and_o combine_v to_o congeal_v and_o draw_v into_o a_o
