2. They annihilate all the testimony that the three Persons give to Christ; this unity is that mark whereby all the world shall know them to be Christs Disciples, and it is the main duty Paul calls for, Ephes. 4.3, 6. from this ground, because there is but one God; and one Christ, and one faith, Acts 4.31, 32. And indeed all the dissensions of the world have sprung from this ground, that they do not all worship one God, or believe not that God is but one: For what makes a man to fall out with his brother, but either his profit, or pleasure, or credit is conceived to be hindered, and is not this because I make my profit, or my credit my God? and so I had rather lose God, and fellowship with his Saints, then lose any gain and pleasure, and so I am a lover of pleasure more then of God: Now the Apostle made account, if we profess but one God, the unity of God should be more powerful to make us one, then any thing in the world should be to make us two: so much dissension, so much atheism: If we suffer the world to be more mighty to make difference then God to make unity, we make God our Idol.
