And
purity

are
joyned together
here.A
pure head,
and
a
pure heart, will make peace. In the

there what
the
Scripture
fpeaks
of
the
head
;
The
wi
¡dome
thur

firfi
pure,
then peaceable.
The
wifdome
that
is
from above
is
pure
,
that's not
defiled, there's
no
by and

ends
and
tricks
and
devices,
and cunning

And
here,
the heart
is
fira pure,

The pure

then the peace
makers;
There's:nothing

From

Warr to your members.
Here's
a
Quèffìon,
From
whence
come
warrs and fightings
.among you
?
If
fo
be
that
this
Queflion were
asks
among

,
From whence are
warrs
and fightings
?
from
whence
arc
Jarrs and Divifions a-

One

that
would
have fuch

And
tl
e
other
would
fay,
'tis
from
fuch
a
party
that
would
have
fuch
a
thing;
but
few Gvouldan:iver
it
as
the
Apofile
doth here
;
O 'tis
from
the
luffs
that
are
in
our
hearts, warrs
and fightings betweenNations,
and
in
Common-
wealths,
are from the
lulu
of mens hearts
;
And warres in
the
Church
and
Divifions
there
are from
the lulls
in
mens
hearts;
Warrs
and
Divifions in
Cities,Divifions
in
Families, and
Con-
tentions in
*wens
owne
fpirits, they
are
all
from the
lulls of
our
hearts.
Saul
before
he had
dehl'd
himfelfe
fo
grofsl,as
al-
ter
he
did,
was
of
a
very
quiet
and peaceable difpofition
;
But
when he
came
to be
corrupt,
and
had
a
defiled
Confcience
and
heart,

then
he
was
of
,a
cruell, rugged,and very
pervei^fe
fpirit.
Thofe
that

clean,
they
are peaceable,and fit ro'make
peace
with
others But corrupt
hearts
, they_make all
the
flirre a-
mong
us, and
therefore
fo
much Divifion,
fo
much
Corrupti-

much
Impurity,
