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

§. 11. I. His reasons touch not only some singular persons and case, but the case of all Churches in all Ages: He argueth from the difference between well-meaning Christians as Weak and Strong, as doubting and as assured, as mistaken and as in the right, as in danger of being damned if they act doubtingly, and of stumbling and being offended, &c. Now such weak, mistake• Christians in such matters ever have been, and ever will be, and so the reason from their case and necessity will hold in all Countries and Ages to the end.

§. 12. II. And many great and pressing Moral reasons that all Christians are bound by are here heaped up. 1. One is from Christian Love to brethren. 2. Another from humane Compassion to the weak. 3. Another is from Gods own example, who receiveth such, whom therefore we must not reject. 4. Another is from Gods prerogative to judge; 5. and another from his propriety in his own servants. 6. Another is from our having no such judging power in such cases. 7. Another is from Gods Love and mercy that will uphold such. 8. Another is because what men do as to please God, must not be condemned without necessity, but a holy intention cherished, so it be not in forbidden things. 9. Another is that men ⟨p. 151⟩must not go against Conscience in indifferent things. 10. Another is from Christs dreadful judgement which is near, and which we our selves must undergo, and must be that final decider of many things which here will not be fully decided. 11. Another is from the sin of laying stumbling-blocks and occasions of offence. 12. Another is from the danger of crossing the ends of the death of Christ, destroying souls for whom he dyed. 13. Another is that it will make our good to be ill spoken of. 14. Another is that the Kingdom of God, or the Constitution of Christianity and the Church lieth in no such matters, but in righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. 15. And another that Christ is pleased in this without the other, and God accepteth such. 16. Another is that such are approved of men, that is, This righteousness, peace and holy joy without agreement in such Ceremonies and by-matters, beareth its own testimony for approbation to the judgement of all impartial men; humanity and Christianity teach us to love and honour such. 17. Another is from our common obligation to live in peace with all. 18. Another is from our obligation to do all to the edifying of one another. 19. Another is because Gods work else is destroyed by us. 20. And our own lawful acts are turned into sin when they hurt another. 21. Another from the obligation that lieth on us to deny our own liberty in meat, wine, &c. to avoid the hurting of another that is weak. 22. Another is from the damnation of such as are driven or drawn to act doubtingly. 23. Another is from the special duty and mercy of the strong that should bear the infirmities of the weak. 24.
