A67551	The principall duty of Parliament-men, or, A short and compendious treatise concerning the unity and unanimity, which should be in the members of that honourable assembly / Richard Wood ...	Ward, Richard, 1601 or 2-1684.	1641 (1641)	Wing W805; ESTC R11713	54,613	68

naturall body by consent do help one another so the members of a politique and ecclesiastick body by concord and unanimity should assist one another s The body we know consists of many severall members now if the eye should not help the head nor the hand the eye and one member another the little Microcosme of man would then quickly perish but if there be a sweet union amongst all the parts and every member tenders the weal and happinesse of the whole body as it doth of it self then the whole body will live and prosper and be able both to defend it self and offend its enemies Oh give me leave grave Senators to apply this unto you who are our Microcosme and the great representative Body of our Land if you who consist of many members and are of divers and sundry parts will employ all your learning and eloquence and judgement and wisedome and invention and zeal and courage and resolution and whatsoever parts abilities and gifts God hath given to all and every each of you for the peace and prosperity of this our Church and State then the blessing of the Lord shall be upon you and yee shall go on and prosper maugre the malice of all the Divels and Antichrists instruments And therefore if your Honours would be Murus aboneus a Bulwark o●… Brasse for our de●…ence and your own safety Oh then be yee one 4. Another inducement to perswad you to this holy Vnity and Vnion of Truth amongst your selves is Because it both seems and indeed is an excellent good thing for those who are joyned in one body for the common good to be of one minde The Phylosophers say that there is Bonum apparens and reverà bonum some things which seem good but are not and some which both seem and are good Now Vnity and Vnanimity amongst your Honours is of the nature of the latter And therefore be yee one The Gem which is gallant in colour and perfect in vertue is the more precious the Tree which hath a fair bark and a sweet sappe is the more to be esteemed the Pantber having a fair skin and sweet breath is much delighted in If the Ore which is drosse outwardly and gold inwardly be of great price what is then the pure refined Gold If the rough stone with a secret vertue be of value what is it then being polished If a smooth and learned stile in an ill print import some credit what then doth that which cometh out of a perfect Presse And therefore seeing Union in minde and opinion amonst Senators such grand Counsellors doth both seem and also is good be yee therefore one 5. Another inducement to perswade your Honours to this holy Unity and Unanimity is Because then we shall say of you That surely God is in you and with you yea that yee are Gods As Don Petro Waldez a Spaniard when he saw the ruine of their invincible Navy although he scoffed at Religion yet confessed That now be perceived Christ to be a Lutherane So when those who cry in their hearts concerning our Church and State Down with it down with it even to the ground And omit no damned plo●…s nor divellish practises for the effecting of our ruine and destruction and yet to their confusion and horrour shall s●…e that by your Vnanimity and Concord all their fraud and force is frustrated and all their secret workings discovered and hindered they will then be forced to acknowledge that Christ is a member of your Assembly and that surely the Lord in one of the Parliament House Yea further as they your enemies will say That God is amongst you so we your Admirers shall acknowledge That ye are Gods and all of you the children of the Most High The holy and ever happy Trinity is but one in essence although three in person whence the Sabians worshipped God in three persons naming the first Sanctus the second Fidius the third Semi-pater and in their oaths they did commonly put Fidius in the midst a●… under that name comprehending all the three persons whereof came their great oath Medius Fidius Now If as you are not only three but above three bundred in persons you be but one in opinion affection and minde amongst your selves in the furtherance and maintenance of that one truth of the Gospel you shall then therein be like unto God himself and therefore be ye one Although the head hath two eyes yet they two have but one motion and the one cannot be turned about without the turning of the other even so if your Honours would be eyes to the blind and lights to the Land and golden Snuffers to make the Lamps of Religion burn bright you must all minde one thing and fix all your thoughts upon this one object the glory of God and the establishing of the unity of truth and true Religion amongst us And therefore be yee one 6. The last inducem●…nt which should move your Honours to this holy unity and union of truth is this because if ye be one in the maintenance defense and promotion of the truth The truth will make you free and defend you from all your foes As wary Trades-men will say to those whom they love and wish w●…ll unto Keep your shop and you shop will keep you So I may say unto your Honours maintain Religion and it will maintain you defend it and it will defend you stand stoutly for the sincerity and pu●…ity thereof and it will stand for you protect it and it will pr●…tect you The wisemen of Rome perswaded Anthony to bew●…re of Caesar Because●… Genius was the stronger Even so the Genius of Religion is stronger then that of her enemie and therefore fear not ye the face or frown of any in the defense and maintenance of Religion As Caesar said to his Pilot in allorm Be not disinayed thou carriest C●…sar and his fortunes So I say so long as your Honours stand stoutly for the Spouse and truth of Christ you carry the Palladium and fate of the Land and Church in your hands and need fear no storms As the Picture of Diana was framed with that art that she seemed to frown upon those who stood without the Temple looking upon her but smiled upon those who were within So the Lord smiles upon those who unanimously ag●…ee and accord in the advancement of his Truth being assembled together for that end and purpose But frowns upon those who by sowing seeds and ●…ares of dissention in such sacred Assembli●…s hinder the establishing of this holy Vnion Wherefore if you desire the Lords favour and not his frown be yee one Frederick the Emperour warring upon the Turks to his great honour and their losse Pope Alexander the third repining at his successe caused an exquisite Painter to draw the Emperours picture to the life and when it was done sent it to the great Turk wishing him by his letters if he desired to live in peace to labour by

Gods blessing upon them Chap 17. In this prayer practising the Platform prescribed by himself he first requests the glory of God Chap. 17. 2 c. And secondly the good of the Church and that dividedly viz. First For his then Apostles and Disciples Verse 9. to the 20. Then Secondly For all his of after ages Verse 20. c. For whom he craves two blessings One that they may be united in one Verse 21 22 23. This is in Vià in this life present The other that they may be so present with Him that they may see his glory Verse 24. c. Which shall be performed in Patrià in the life to come The former of these is declared in three Gradations Viz. 1. In generall that they may be one Verse 21. 2. More particularly That this Union may be not of the members only one with another but of the whole body with God and Christ Verse 21 22. 3. More fully that they may be perfect in this Union 〈◊〉 are God and Christ Verse 22 23. The first of these three is the Subject of our Text and hath two parts Vinculum and Exemplum the Conjunction that they may be one and the Declaration as thou art in me and I in thee I will treat only of the first part That they may be one wherein if I should dive curiously into circumstances these things would occurre and offer themselves to our consideration Viz. 1. Who prayes 2. To whom he prayes 3. For whom he prayes Viz. 1. Of what nature they are for whom he prayes Mine And 2. Of what number they are All mine 4. What means he useth to obtain what he desires Viz. Prayer And 5. What is prayed for But passing by the four former I will insist only upon the last which is the principall That all Christs members may be one and conjoyned in one holy and spirituall bond of Unity But before I shew the nature of this Union I will resolve a Question or two for the better understanding of the Text How many wayes are things said to be One that our Saviours here prayes That his children may be One Things are said to be One five manner of wayes to wit First Naturally As the soul and body make one man Secondly Artificially As wood stones and timber make one house Thirdly Mystically As Christ and his Church make one body Fourthly Mysteriously As the husband and wife are one And Fifthly Spiritually As all the faithfull are one in Christ And thus our Saviour prayes That his children may be One How many wayes may One thing be made of Many that our Saviour here prayes that his children who are Many may be made One One thing may be made of Many six manner of wayes as namely 1. By Apposition As by many stones laid or cast together is made one heap And 2. By Composition and mixture As of water and honey is made sweet drink And. 3. By Alteration When the first perfect form is altered as of many Grapes is made one Vessell of Wine And 4. When one thing is made of matter and form as Utensils and the like Artificiall things are And 5. When one thing is made of a Subject and an Accident as a painted wall And 6. By a spirituall and Mysticall conjunction and thus the faithfull who are Many are made One How many wayes is this word One taken One is taken ordinarily three manner of wayes to wit First For an eminent or singular dignity John 10. 30. And Secondly For the mindes undivided simplicity And Thirdly For a multitudes aggregated community The first Unity is superiour and is to be admired The second is interiour and is to be imitated The third is exteriour and is to be aggregated and heaped together The first Unity is of highest dignity The second is of the mindes simplicity The third is of a joynt and Christian fraternity The Text speaks of the Last in which sense Unity and Unanimity is in a manner the same and is twofold to wit 1. Aggregative And is so called because it consists of many persons added or joyned together in one Assembly and thus any Nationall Church is One that is One in profession as many members joyned together make one body And 2. Compositive When not only many are joyned together in one Assembly and profession but also in minde and affection one participating of the qualities of another And of this Union the Text principally speaks as will appear by and by What Union or Unity doth the Text speak of First There is Unity in errour conspiracy bloud and wickednesse as is evident from Gen. 19. 4. Prov. 1. 10 11. 14. Luke 23. 12. Acts 19. 24 25 c. But this being not of Christ is without the lists and limits of our Text which speaks only of an holy Union in Him Secondly That holy Union whereof our Text speaks is two severall wayes divided Namely 1. In respect of the Object or Persons and so it is either 1. Of the Members among themselves Or 2. Of the Body with the Head And both these Unions are found in 1 Job 1. 3. And 2. In respect of the subject matter and so it is either 1. In minde and opinion Or 2. In heart and affection Both which Vnions are found in 2 Cor. 13. 11. From these two distinctions come three sorts of holy Vnion viz. First of opinion and is called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} 1 Cor. 1. 10. One minde and one judgement whereby we all think one thing Philip 2. 2. And Secondly of affection and is called one heart and one soul Acts 4. 32. {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} And Thirdly of grace and heavenly communion and is called the fellowship of Jesus Christ 1 Cor. 1. 9. Now passing by the second and third I will recommend to your Honours pious consi●…eration onely the fi●…st viz. union in opinion which affords this Proposition or point of observation That as many as will please the Lord Christ or approve themselves to be Christians must adhere and cleave fast unto that union of Doctrine which is according to the truth of the Gospel They must be of one minde a which the Apostle expounds to think all one thing b and to speak all one thing c and to be knit in one minde and judgement d and to be of one minde e It must here be add●…d and we must carefully remember That this union must be according to that G●…spel and eternall truth which we have heard and learn'd of Christ and hath been taught by him as the truth is in Iesus f This is called that F●…rm g or Pattern h or M●…uld i of doctrine whereunt●… we were delivered And this the Apostle especially prayeth That he may hear of the Philippians That they may continue in one minde and unanimous fight for that
