I must now tell you that these things being so evident that you are carnal boast not of the Spirit as if you had it and none else and therefore ye depart from the Antichristian Congregations True if they were so cleerly proved by Text of Scripture it were good to divide but do not you say so of them that you might justifie your division and still nourish your envious strivings but I say boast not of the Spirit it s not a spirit of envie but it meekens mens spirits it s not a spirit of striving but stirreth up to the assistance one of another not a spirit of division but unites the members of Jesus Christ with the strongest bonds that any society or body can be united withall Qui sectarii sunt licet videantur esse spiritualissimi revera tamen carnales existunt Musc in loc p. 81. boast not of the Gospel it s not a Gospel of contention but reconciliation not of division but calls all true beleevers into one communion and spirituall fellowship boast not that you are the spiritual ones when no wayes more then yours discover carnality And it s a shame nay it will be a greater condemnation to this Citie to be yet carnal then for Bethsaida and Chorazin not to beleeve you seemed to beleeve to repent to embrace your faithfull Ministers with joy and to make your Citie their refuge who were your Cities glory to save their lives who spend their lives on you and for you who have been such glorious lights in your firmament that have made you to out-shine other Cities and encreased your glory to a greater degree beyond what it hath been ever since it was a Citie and you have had many of these Ministers faithfull laborious godly learned who for their paucity seemed but the gleanings of this Church yet better then the Vintage of the whole and yet carnall You again reciprocally followed them maintained them rejoyced in their doctrine then laboured for their unity in the whole City and to these adde you suffered with them and you were ready to break the ice for them that should have led you into the water and yet carnal What the very Head of this Nation sick rent cut a pieces one piece of it falling this way another that a third a third way wherein there is little love no rest no ease night nor day and having so many Physitians with such admirable balm to apply True thy wounds and diseases are great and have festred long insomuch that they have infected the whole and stink in the nostrils of thy sister Churches but are these wounds incurable these breaches these divisions irreconcileable True it may be the dividing opinions are but are the divided Christians I must tell thee London thou art ungratefull to thy Ministers to thy God and badly requitest him for his gracious protections Christ Jesus for his Gospel-administrations that when he hath delivered thee from thy former yoke thou shouldst throw off his own yoke and when he made an open way of a full union in the whole Church by his blessed mercies and you to break yours asunder sure you are and were of carnall and unmortified hearts which otherwise in these times would not so fully discover themselves being like Nebuchadnezzars Image one part falling from another because uncementable being of severall tempers and natures if it be that you are spirituall you will mourn for the divisions of the Church labour to reunite and re-allie the forces of Gods people which by such as you are thus scattered and thus divided Use My next endeavour is after the making good of the charge to work some remedie for the crime to extinguish the fire of envy to take off the edge of strife and to reconcile these carnall and dangerous divisions 1.
