Motive VI.
In a word, These Schisms and Dissentions in the Churches of Christ are ominous presages, and foreboding signs of some sweeping Judgment, and common Calamity near approaching us. 'Tis a common observation with Shepherds, That when the Sheep push one another, a storm speedily ensues. I am sure 'tis so here, if God turn not our hearts one towards another, he will come and smite the Earth with a Curse, Mal. 4. 6. I believe it, Sirs, you will have other work to do shortly. There be those coming, (if God prevent not) that will part the fray.
