The blessedness of the righteous discoursed from Psal. 17, 15 /The blessednesse of the righteous discoursed from Psal. 17, 15 /

It is a happy sign that God is about to repair our •ins and divisions, when he stirreth up his servants to speak so much of Heaven, and to call • the minds of impatient complainers, and con•tious censurers, and ignorant self conceited di•ders, and of worldly, unskilful, and unmerciful •stors, to look to that state where all the godly shall one; and to turn those thoughts to the furtherance Holiness, to provoke one another to Love and to •od works, which two many lay out upon their hay ••d stubble, And to call men from judging and •spising each other (and worse then both those) out their Meats, and Drinks, and Days, to study righteousness, and Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost. •r he that in these things serveth Christ (in which • Kingdom doth consist) is acceptable to God, and proved of men (that are wise and good.) Let us ••erefore follow after the things which make for •ace, and things wherewith one may edify another; whilst the contentious for meat will destroy •e work of God. Rom. 14. 17, 18, 19, 20. The •ion between Peace and Holiness is so strict that he •o truly promoteth one, promoteth both. Heb. 12. •4. Jam. 3. 17. The true way of our Union is ex•lently described, Eph. 4. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, •6.
