THE chief part of this following Discourse, being preached among you, and that upon an occasion which you are obliged ⟨p. 2⟩to consider, (Isa. 57.1.) being called to publish it, I thought it meet to direct it first to your hands, and to take this opportunity, plainly and seriously to exhort you in some matte•s that your present and everlasting peace is much concerned in.
Credible fame reporteth you to be a people not all of one mind, or temper in the matters of God: but that 1. Some of you are Godly, Sober and Peaceable: 2. Some well-meaning and zealous, but addicted to divisions: 3. Some Papists: 4. Some Hiders, seduced by your late deceased neighbour Clement Writer, (to whom the Quakers do approach in many opinions.) ⟨p. 3⟩5. And too many profane and obstinate persons, that are heartily and seriously of no Religion, but take occasion from the divisions of the rest, to despise or neglect the Ordinances of God, and join themselves to no Assemblies.
