There is dissension amongst Merchants, and other Trades, you do not say therefore, I will not bind my child to that Trade, they dissent amongst themselves: If there be profit and accommodations in the Trade, men will not be hindered by this plea, but join with them notwithstanding; And so come you and join with the Saints, though there be some dissentions, though there may be some rigid, distempered, hot spirited men, that may cause some trouble, yet there is not so much union and love in all the world as with them; set but aside some, and there are a company, if you be gracious, your soul may take pleasure in, and bless God for; and therefore away with all such stumbling blocks, and reasonings against the Ordinances of God, come you thirsting after the Ordinances of God, and my soul for yours, if you ⟨p. 281⟩do not find that sweetness in communion with them, as never was found before.
