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

And Paul there giveth also this rule and the reason of it: c. 6. 1, 2. [Brethren if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thy self lest thou also be tempted: bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfil the Law of Christ: And because he knew that self-esteem and contempt of dissenters lay at the root of impatience towards others, he addeth [If a man think himself to be something (to whom all must needs consent) when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.]

§. 16. The same Apostle to the Ephesians accurately openeth the terms of Christian Unity and Church Concord in my Text; purposely describing both the end, the instruments and the terms: so that I know not how we could have desired more. The End is [For the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the Ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. That we henceforth be no more Children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the slight of men and cunning craftiness whereby they lye in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love may grow up in him in all things which is the head, Christ, From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body to the edifying of it self in love.]
