Godly. Nay Sir, now you are out; for you and I never dwelt together yet; for if I had ever took up my dwelling with you, I would have kept you from this great Fall: you will prove your self a mere Hypocrite, one that never loved God nor this Town Religion in your heart. Sir, Uprightness and Sincerity of heart preserves from Apostasy; and what though the Town is divided, it is my great grief to see it, but you had the more need to abide in it, to do what you can to persuade them to love and Union, however to unite in Affection. Come, humble your self before God for this great Sin, and let us dwell together now, and thou shalt abide secure, notwithstanding the Divisions within, and Troubles without, and have most sweet peace, and inward joy; yea such as thou never hadst in all thy Life. What dost say?

Apost. Sir, hold your peace, and say no more; I am resolved to be gone.
