Use of Instruction, to every Christian again and again, to take heed of causing divisions in the Church of God; Be afraid by any opinion or practice to make an unnecessary rent; for doest thou not as much as lieth in thee to hinder all others from coming to the Kingdom of Heaven? Will not this be a sad aggravation, when men damned in hell shall plead, Lord, I was coming, even I was hopefully inclining to such things, but this man and that man by his division stopped me, he made me a proselyte to some pernicious way, while I was going to Christ?
