Eighth Counsel. Maintain with constancy and frequency the Communion of Saints. Now is the time my Brethren for those that fear the Lord, to speak often one to another. Now you are deprived of your public Overseers, take the more careful oversight one over another, rebuke one another, admonish one another, provoke one another to love and to good works, now if ever, there will be special need of this. If you forsake the Assembling of your selves together, we shall see Religion dying as the coal that is put in the middle of the Room by it self.

Ninth Counsel. Walk together in the order and unity of the Gospel. Take heed of any dividing principles, mark them that cause Divisions, and avoid them. Those that are not for peace be not you for them, what ever pretence they may have to purity attend them not, unless they are men that are for peace. If once the ranks be broken, the Army is quickly routed, and if once the unity of Christians be broken, then Satan hath got his advantage; and is like to have his will. O take heed that you keep together in the unity and peace of the Gospel, that your Ministers and that Jesus Christ may rejoice to behold your order and your steadfastness in Christ.
