SECT. II.
THE Union and Peace that I intend to discourse, is a Union of Judgment and Practice in matters of Religion, and the Worship of God; together with that mutual Love, and those good Offices that are the proper fruits, effects and consequent thereof. And by Religion, and the Worship of God, I mean the Christian Religion, and those ways of worshipping and serving the Majesty of ⟨p. 4⟩Heaven that are prescribed unto us by the Christian Laws, the Records whereof are in the holy Scriptures.
THE Union and Peace that I intend to discourse, is a Union of Judgment and Practice in matters of Religion, and the Worship of God; together with that mutual Love, and those good Offices that are the proper fruits, effects and consequent thereof. And by Religion, and the Worship of God, I mean the Christian Religion, and those waies of worshiping and serving the Majesty of ⟨p. 4⟩Heaven that are prescribed unto us by the Christian Laws, the Records whereof are in the holy Scriptures.
That this Union and Peace is an excellent thing, is the confession of all Christians. Those that do practically hate and abhor it, pretend a mighty esteem and veneration for it; those that destroy it, speak much in its favour; and the most mortal Enemies thereof, will not fail to make its Panegyric, and exalt its praise. The Romanists (who are certainly the greatest Incendiaries and Firebrands that are upon Earth, and have for many years, yea ages past, and do at this time imbroil and fill all Europe with Confusion and Disorders, with secret Conspiracies and Confederations, with open Wars, Violence, Oppression and Rapine, are (as they would be thought) the most passionate Lovers, and greatest Admirers of it: But whilst men see their fangs, and feel their paws, they will believe them Bears and Lions, though they should avow themselves the most harmless Doves or Lambs.
