Thirdly, §3be not unmindful of our Jerusalem at home, whether you leave us, or stay at home with us. Oh pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love her, Psal. 122.6. They shall all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion, Psal. 129.5. As God continueth his presence with us (blessed be his name) so be ye present in spirit with us, though absent in body: Forget not the womb that bare you, and the breasts that gave you suck. Even ducklings hatched under an hen, though they take the water, yet will still have recourse to the wing that hatched them: how much more should chickens of the same feather, and yolk? In the amity and unity of brethren, the Lord hath not only promised, but ⟨p. 19⟩commanded a blessing, even life for evermore: Psal. 133.1.2.
