The first Principle.
1. That we may meet to agree together, 1let us agree to meet together, and that's meet: for ⟨p. 10⟩saith the Prophet, how can two walk together, unless they *meet and come together? so I would read that, which we read, unless they *agree together: meetings are the Porch or entry into agreements. And me thinks Christians should not be much entreated to treat together; surely 'tis to be feared, that they are loth to agree, who are loth to meet about an agreement.
