The Samaritan showing that many and unnecessary impositions are not the oil that must heal the church together with the way or means to do it / by a country gentleman who goes to common-prayer and not to meetings.The Samaritan shewing that many and unnecessary impositions are not the oyl that must heal the church together with the way or means to do it / by a country gentleman who goes to common-prayer and not to meetings.

The Three and twentieth is, In this Interchange of Love and Duty, let nothing be Preached, but those common Truths in which both Parties are agreed. Let them not be allowed to meddle with those Doctrines which are the Subject and Matter of Controversy between them. This will not generate Love, or serve any good end that I know on, but will enkindle Wrath, and make Animosities and Feuds, and set those that differ at an irreconcilable distance from each other. There are things enough in which they agree to furnish matter for their Discourses of this kind: And to come into each others Congregations, to rail upon each others Persons and Opinions, is rude and insufferable. It is very pertinent Advice bear of a Spanish Author. Estu dia de suffrir con paciencia quales quier defectos y flaquezas agenas, mirando que tu tines mucho que te sufran los otros. Si non puedes hazer a ti qual desseas, como quieres tener all otros a tu sabor? Patiently endeavour to bear the Imperfections and Weaknesses of others, considering that there is much in you that others must bear and endure. If you cannot make your selves such as you would be, how can you expect that others should be according ⟨p. 92⟩to your list, or as you would have them? Neither are the Preachers of both sides to rail at, or reproach each other in their own proper and peculiar Churches and Congregations, or in their Printed Books and Pamphlets. If they do think fit to meddle with each others peculiar Opinions, let them do it with calmness and meekness; let them in fair language, confute one another's Arguments, without all unnecessary Reflections, or personal Provocations. Reproaches, and Mutual Exposing of each other to common scorn does no good. No man ever becomes a Convert in his Judgment by being railed on, exposed, or derided. This Method of proceeding enkindles and enrages mens Spirits; it heals no Wounds, nor makes up any Breaches, but makes them greater, and more uncapable of Cure. No ay ninguno sin defecto ninguno sin carga, ninguno es sufficient para si, ninguno es, complidamente sabio para si, y portanto conviene llevarnos unos a utros. No man is without defect, no man without fault, none is sufficient for himself, and therefore we must bear and tolerate each other. Menos precio del Mundo.
