III. Hence we learn, how we must come affected towards our1 brethren when we pray to God, namely, lovingly and peaceably, as to children of the same father: when we come to the Lords Table we make conscience of love and amity with all men; and so should we do in prayer, for therein we bring a spiritual sacrifice unto God, and therefore we must be areconciled to our brethren when we offer it: for when mens hearts be full of malice, or their hands full of blood, bGod will not hear them, though they make many prayers. If therefore we call upon God as on our father, we must be sine to love his children as our brethren; for cthis commandment we have of God, that he which loveth God, should love his brother also; and he is not of God, that loveth not his brother, 1. Joh. 3. 10.
