Oh that all this might at last persuade to cordial and fervent love; let us turn all our censuring into praying; let us pray to God that he would quench the fire of contention, and increase the fire of fraternal love among us: let us pray that the Lord would heal our Schisms, repair our breaches, that he would make us like the Cherubims with our faces looking one upon another; let us pray that God will make good that promise, that we shall serve him with one consent, or* as in the Hebrew, with one shoulder; and that this may be the golden Motto written upon England, Cor unum, via una, one heart, and one way*.
