CHAP. L. Some Proposals for a (hopeless) Peace.
IT is A Defensive conflict that I have been hitherto managing; This work is put upon us by our adversaries. But in the conclusion I will add a few words of that which enticeth by its amiable aspect, and which we gladly follow, without importunity or constraint. And were our Power but answerable to our Desires, we would soon put an end to these contentions of the Church, without the hurt of any of the Dissenters: Yea did there appear but any considerable Hopes of success, I should venture to be more large in Proposals to that end: But when wiser men, of greater interest can do no good, and the case appeareth as next to desperate, a few words may suffice to satisfy my own conscience, and to please my mind with the mention of a Peace, and to help some others to right Dispositions and Desires, though we have never so little expectation of success.
