Let me say on the other side, there may be too eager censure the other way, that 1is; to censure such as are of a different way and judgment that they do it altogether out of their self-ends, and self-aims, I verily believe that on the other side, ⟨p. 74⟩those brethren that do differ, they may be conscientious in their way, and do it out of zeal to God, and to what they apprehend to be truth; We should apprehend one another so, if we see there be nothing else wherein they do manifest corruption of heart but merely in their 2ways of difference in their judgments and opinions. Now if both could but thus judg each of other, that they both are upright in what they do pursue: One side imagines that our part is Gods mind, and the other side judges that that party is Gods mind; let us judg now that they do it in uprightness except it appears some other way, then we should quickly come to close and join hearts together, if we had such upright opinions one of another, therefore the more it is the design of the Devil to break 3those Bonds of Brotherhood, and of Love, the more should we labour to unite together.
