The cure of church-divisions, or, Directions for weak Christians to keep them from being…

It is GOD (Christians) it is GOD, it is only GOD, whose infallibility, justification, and unspotted truth and goodness, you must make your rest. It is Heaven, it is Heaven, it is only Heaven, where perfect truth, and impartial righteousness, and the full vindication of all the just, and the fruition of perfect Love and Concord, is to be expected: and where malice, and lies, and discord, and the father of them, are totally and finally shut out.

As you would not be used as Hypocrites by God, and deprived of the true Reward of faith, O seek not after the hypocrite's reward! What is the applause of mortal man! Can you not bear the censure of such a shadow? How then would you suffer martyrdom for Christ? Over-value not the esteem of High or Low, of the Great or of the Godly, of the many or of the few. Gods approbation is sufficient to be your reward. See that you be Godly, and then be more indifferent though you are thought ungodly. See that you be loyal, and peaceable, and then you may bear it, if you be called the contrary. Abhor all unwarrantable divisions, and then you may bear to be reputed schismatics. Study you to be good, and not to be accounted good.
