epe Poo? Mano EmilyZook. 1 2 7 P. Saul , You hear this terrible objeaion of your Landlord : Will youbut markmy anfwer in thefe three parts, and if it be not Reafan fpit in my face and take your courfe. i. Everydifferent (r) Opinion is not a diferent Reli- gion. Our Religion is but One thing; which is fample Chriflianity : And every by-opinion is not effential to Chriflianiry. No two men in the world I think are in every thing of one opinion : He that will not take a journy which is for his elate or life, till all the Clocks in London flrike together, is as wife a man as he that will not turn from his fin to God, till all Chriflians are ofone opinion in all the difficult points of Reli- gion. z. My earneft advice to you, Saul, is, that you be- come not a (f) Salary of any party whatfoever : Be- come a true Chrif>tian, and love the Unity , Peace and Concord of Believers ; and for Opinions , follow the right as far as you can know it , but not to engage for doubtful things in any divifions, Seas or Parties : But if men will needs quarrel, land by , an pray for the Churches Peace. 3. Trywhether Chriflians ofall opinions, donot agree in all that I exhort you to. If I have taught you, or perfwaded you to any one thing, but what the Confor- mills and Nonconformils, Epifcopal, Presbyterian, In- dependent, yea and the Papifts are all of a mind in, and will all bear wit.nefs to be certain truth, then let your Confcience judge, whether you be not a molt un.- excufeable man, that will not be perfwaded to that ( r ) Read Rom. 14.. and i5.
