They hinder the blessing of God, Psalm. 133. The Psalmist §14commending the love of Brethren concludes, There the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. There! that is, where the love of Brethren is, there is a blessing, a blessing commanded by God; it comes with power, and this no less then life, and this life for evermore. God dwells in Salem, says Luther, not in Babylon; where there is peace, not where there is confusion.
