The true and only way of concord of all the Christian churches the desirableness…

§. 22. 20. Lastly, Gods own Grace is free, and given to men in great diversity; some that have the same spirit have more illumination, and some less, as the Apostle at large declareth, 1 Cor. 12. and elsewhere. There is one Glory of the Sun, and another of the Moon saith Paul; And as one star differs in glory from another, so doth one man in gifts and understanding; And the face of the whole Creation showeth that God delighteth to make a wonderful diversity in his works; scarce two stones in the street, two sheep, two beasts, two birds, two fishes, two trees, &c. so like, but we may know one ⟨p. 88⟩from another by their differences: No nor two sons of the same parents, or two of the off-spring of any animals.

And is not all this joined to the constant experience of all ages, enough to prove, that even among Christians, and good and tolerable Christians, yea among all, there will still be differences in degrees of knowledge and virtue, and consequently discords in some matters of Religion, higher or lower more or less?
