Gospel reconciliation, or, Christ's trumpet of peace to the world

2. They cannot enjoy all Gods Ordinances; though the Church be true, and the Ministry true, yet certainly ⟨p. 414⟩those that are conscientious, and look upon them, they cannot but be afraid, therefore if there be a door of hope to let in our brethren the out-casts of Israel, and to join with them in communion, certainly every gracious heart cannot but think this a precious mercy, that God should open the door of hope, and this should be your prayer and endeavour to the utmost you can, that this door of hope may be so wide, that your Brethren may come and enter in with the peace of their Consciences; As heretofore it hath been the honour of England, that others have come out of other Countries for their Consciences, and have been sheltered here, that now it be not the dishonour of England, that her own children should be driven out from her; because they cannot have liberty of Conscience, and that in things which some think they are but of an indifferent nature; if I say that now it should be dishonoured by casting out, and contemning your Brethren, because they cannot have peace of Conscience, Oh! what a dishonour will it be if it continue? therefore if God be opening his door, this ought to be your endeavour to seek God, and to endeavour that it may be so wide, that those that you Judge in your Consciences to be faithful and godly, may come in and enter in at this door, and enjoy peaceable communion with you.
