Therefore be not high minded, be not wise in your own opinions: recompense no man evil for evil: provide aforehand things honest in the sight of all men: and if it be possible, have peace with all men. Mark well my brethren these words by the way, If it be possible have peace with all men. Christ, though ⟨image 101⟩he was the author so peace, and the true peace it self, yet could he not have peace with all men. Non veni pacem mitt•re in terras, sed bellum, 1sed discordiam, I am not come (saith Christ) to send peace into the world, but war and dissension: for from hence forth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The Father against the Son, and the Son against the Father. The mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother. The peace of the world is no peace with God: the love of this world is no love before God.
Therfore bee not high minded, bee not wise in your owne opinions: recompence no man euill for euill: prouide aforehand things honest in the sight of all men: and if it bee possible, haue peace with all men. Marke well my brethren these words by the way, If it be possible haue peace with all men. Christ, though ⟨image 101⟩hee was the author so peace, and the true peace it selfe, yet could he not haue peace with all men. Non veni pacem mitt•re in terras, sed bellum, 1sed discordiam, I am not come (saith Christ) to send peace into the world, but war and dissention: for from hence forth there shall be fiue in one house diuided, three against two, and two against three. The Father against the Son, and the Son against the Father. The mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother. The peace of the world is no peace with God: the loue of this world is no loue before God.
