Then shall […], and envy, and […], and revenge, be suppressed every where, and peace and love shall prevail between one man and another; which is most elegantly set forth in Is. xi.6. — 10. Then shall there be peace and love between rulers and ruled. Rulers shall love their people, and with all their might seek their best good; and the people shall love their rulers, and shall joyfully submit to them, and give them that honour which is their •u•. And so shall there be an happy love between ministers and ⟨p. 265⟩their people: Mal. iv.6. "And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers." Then shall flourish in an eminent manner those Christian virtues of meekness, forgiveness, long suffering, gladness▪ goodness, brotherly kindness, those excellent fruits of the Spirit. Men, in their temper and disposition, shall then be like the Lamb of God, the lovely Jesus. The body shall be conformed to the head.
