2. For unity; Familiarity hath the name, Quasi eiusdem familiae, as it were of the same family. Concord and agreement is taught by the Corporation of one City. rJerusalem is built as a City well compacted together. Here is no need of Lawyers, all are at peace. Not a tell-tale, not an Incendiary in it. Inferior Cities have good orders for unity, but all will not embrace the unity of order. Saepe inter cives turbaverit amnia dives. It must be as the rich will have it, or there is no rule. These Citizens are not Urbani, but Turbani. It was Davids care to scut off such wicked doers from the City of GOD. Here they tpersecute us from City to City, going over the Cities of Israel: not leave us till we are driven to this City, then shall we rest in peace: every one loving another, and the Lord Jesus loving us all.
