The Saints' Everlasting Rest

Justin a holy learned Martyr (In Dialog▪ cum Tryphone) (who was converted within thirty one years of Johns death, and wrote his first Apology within fifty one; and therefore it is like saw Johns days,) professeth, That if a Jew should keep the Ceremonial Law (so he did not persuade the Gentiles to it as necessary) yet if he acknowledge Christ, he judgeth that he may be saved, and he would embrace him, and have communion with him as a Brother: And Paul would have him received that is weak in the faith, (and not unchurch whole Parishes of those that we know not, nor were ever brought to a just trial,) You know I never conformed to the use of Mystical, Symbolical Rites, my self, (but only to the determination of Circumstantials necessary in genere,) and yet I ever loved a godly, peaceable Conformist, better then a turbulent, Non-Conformist. I yet differ from many in several Doctrines of greater moment then Baptism, &c. (As my Aphorisms of Justification show, which I wrote to cut the unobserved Sinews of Antinomianism, and open the true Scripture Mean in that point, and which I am more confirmed in the truth of now, then ever, by the weakness of all that I can yet hear against it;) and yet if I should zealously press my judgment on others, and seek to make a party for it, and disturb the Peace of the Church, and separate from my ⟨image 6⟩Brethren, I should fear lest I should prove a fire-brand in Hell, for being a fire-brand in the Church. And for all the interest I have in your Judgments and Affections, I here charge you, That if God should give me up to any factious Church-rending course (against which I daily pray) that you forsake me, and follow me not a step.
