3. It speaks there peace among themselves, peace one with another; such is, or should be the condition of the Church, Jerusalem is builded as a City that is compact together, 1or unity within it self, the Apostle dwells in this unity, there is one body, 2and one Spirit, and one hope, and one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism, and one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. The Church is a Court, whose very pillars are peace; the building of Christianity knows no other material to work upon; if we look upon the Church it self, there is one body; if upon the very soul of it, there is one Spirit; if upon the endowment of it, there is one hope; if upon the head of it, there is one Lord: if upon the life of it, there is one faith: if upon the door of it, there is one Baptism; if upon the Father so it, there is one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 3It was sometimes Christ's commands unto his Apostles, have salt in your selves, and have peace one with another; and as a blessed effect of this salutation, (for I look upon them as words full of virtue) the Apostles and Churches of Christ in primitive times kept a most sweet harmony, the multitude of them that believed, were of one heart, 4and of one soul.
