And the Psalmist tells us, that it is not only good, but pleasant for Brethren to dwell together in Unity, Psal. 133. 1. But where Unity and Peace is wanting, there are Storms and Troubles; where Envy and Strife is, there is confusion, and every evil Work, Jam. 3. 16. It is the outward Peace of the Church that increaseth our inward Joy; and the Peace of God's House gives us occasion to eat our meat with gladness in our own Houses, Act. 2. 46.
