The Father the Sonne the Holy Spirit loveth us notwithstanding our vast and infinite disproportion and difference from this holy Trinity in our judgements wills affections lives and conversations and surely they that are taught of God doe love one another 1 Thes. 4. 9. Consider how sweetly and kindly the almighty treateth with the sonnes of men his words are soft breaking our bones Prov. 25. 15. and his writings are words of reconciliation sending his Embassadours to beseech us and most kindly to pray us in Christs name and stead to be reconciled unto God 2 Cor. 5. 20. Consider wee cannot as yet be all of one minde which is our affliction as well as our sinne yet may we be all of one heart the failings wherein is more our sinne than our sorrow unity in judgement is the promised blessing of another age but unity in affection is our present duty though wee cannot speak all the same things of faith through our difference in judgement yet we may all speak the same things of love through the unity of our affections though we cannot agree in all things which should be all our griefe yet wee all agree in this thing to strive together to know the truth as it is in Jesus which calls for our love to one another God in Christ and Christ in God is the pure spring of that divine love which is alwaies running from God to Christ and from Christ to God the streames whereof doe cheare the hearts of all the Saints but the Saints in Christ and Christ in Saints should make each lovely in each others eyes our mutuall interest in Jesus Christ should make us value each other as precious jewells which God will make up in the day of his glory Mal. 3. 17.
