4 Such an one as all the benefits of Christ do belong unto; accompany Christ in blood, Christ in water, Christ for Justification, Christ for Sanctification, Christ for Salvation; in all these there is an exact agreement among them. And therefore although there be some difference in respect of that formal Act which justifieth; yet seeing they preach, and cry down themselves, and advance and set up free grace, and mercy, both in the work and fruit of it; The Papists have no cause to cry us down for dis-agreement, which for their parts, they are like the four winds blowing in the faces of one another in many points, as might easily be showed, if here it were pertinent.

We know, that while we are here, differences there will be, for we know in part, and prophesy but in part. It were an happy thing if we could be all of one heart, and all of one mind, but seeing it will not be. I could wish that although we be not all of one mind, yet we might be all of one heart, and that difference in judgement, might not breed alienation in affection, especially seeing we all aim at one thing, one mark, one end. All agree in hoc uno, in this one, to set up Christ, the mercy of God, free grace, and by crying down our selves, and why then should we not agree amongst our selves?
