Rom. 14. 1. Him that is weak in the faith receive, but not to doubtful disputations. v. 3. Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not judge him which eateth: for God hath received him: who art th•u that judgest another mans servant? to his own Master he standeth or falleth. One man esteemeth one day above another: Another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind: He that regardeth a day, regardeth it to the Lord! v. •0. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why d•st thou set at nought thy brother? we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ. Let us not therefore judge one another any more. v. 13. 14. I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of it self; but to him that esteemeth any thing unclean, to him it is unclean, v. 17. For the Kingdom of God is ⟨p. 62⟩not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost: For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men: Let us therefore follow after the things that make for peace. v. 22.

Now the God of patience and consolation, grant you to be like minded one •owards another, according to Christ Jesus: that ye may with ONE MIND, and ONE MOuTH glorify God.—wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ received us, to the glory of God.
