For a Conclusion of all.
Let none think that though we thus justify taking up Arms, that therefore we are of those that delight in War; God forbid. Our souls desire after peace, we pray for peace, we would gladly lay down our lives. (if we know our own hearts) for peace.

Lately my name was injuriously added to a printed paper, wherein there was a Petition against Accommodations: It says I went along with it, whereas I knew nothing at all of it, until near a week after it was delivered to the House. Thus are we at the mercy of every malignant spirit, if he can get a Printer to assist him, to be rendered to the world as odious as he pleaseth. As great an injury I suffered before, though in another nature, when a few pieces of a Sermon I preached to young men were gathered together, and patched up with a deal of non-sense, and additions of their own as they pleased, and then put out as mine. Although we live amongst men set on fire, yet God forbid but we should follow peace: but it must be the peace of Jerusalem, not the peace of Babylon.
