Rules
for
peace
between
man
mind
man.
And
I
confeffe I had
Tome
thoughts
of
Rules about
Church
peace,
and
Common-
wealth -peace
;
But
I
Thall
tell
you
after
why we
than not
fpeak
to
that now,
Firí!
then
Tome
Rules in
Generall
for peace between
man
;
and man.
That's
the Fitt+;
that
we
fhould
never ufe
any
violence
to
any man,
but where
there
is
a
neceflity.l£
what we would
doe,
may be done by
any
meanes
but
by violence, we fhould rather
try it.
When
we
fee
fuch
and
fuch walke
diforderly,
other
-
wife
then
we would,
they
doe
wrong
;
--
FirA,we
fhould
f{u-
dy whether there
may
be
any
meanes
to
recall them before
any
violence be ufed, ufe that
alwayes
as
the
laf>'
helpe
;
It's
quite
orherwife with moll men and women, when
any
thing
diîpleafes
them
in
another, they
fly
upon
their
faces
prefently,
and
the
HI
way
which
they
take for
helpe to reduce men,
it
is
in
a
violent
way
;
Now
this
is
not
to
be the child of
God
Bleffed
are
the peace-mak'rs,
they
¡hall
be
called
the
children
of
God
;
that
is,as
I
shall
thew
afterwards,they thall be like
God;
now
the Lord
himfelfe
Both
not love
to
grieve
the
children of
.men
;
f®
the
Scripture faith,
Ile
delights
not
in
the
death
of
it
inner;
He
cloth
not willingly
puni
fh
;
why we
should be like
out
Father.
If
there
can
be
any
meanes
that
can be ufed
befides
violence,
let
that
be
firft
tryed
, let's
firfl ingage our felves
there.
Secondly
,
If
violence
muff
needs be ufed,
let
there not
be
an
extent of
this
violence
any
further then needs
mua
:
By
the
extent
of
it
I
meane,
either
in
regard
of
the fubjeet
againíl
whom, or in regard of
the
violence
it
felfe
;
Let it
not be
ex-
tended
to
a
further degree then needs,
but
mix
it
what
poT.-
bly you
can
with
gentlenefle,
and
love, if there be
any
hope
of good that
way.
And
extend
it not further
then needs
muff
in refpeet of the
fub
;eet
that
you
doe
oppofe
;
by
that I
mean
this
;
That
when
any
doe
elifpleafe
you, you
muff
acs
in
oppo-
fition
to them;
fly
not out
againft all
others
that
have
any
kind
of
likeneife
to
their
in
any
thing elfe.
Indeed
you may op-
pofe
all
others that doe that very
unluft
thing
that
fuch
a
one
doth
;
But this
is
the
frowardnefre and
the
turbulency
of mens
fpirits
