All there pleafing Teftimonies in Favour of divine Harmony are exceedingly ftrong. If they will not remove the Scruples of ferious, and candid, and well-meaning Chrifti

ans

ans, of every Denomination, Nothing that I can farther urge will be attended with that happy Effect. These, it will be faid, are fmall Matters. I grant it. If therefore we cannot agree in them, let us at least agree to disagree; and let us allow every one the Liberty of judging and acting, as he finds moft for his own Edification; and let us love and do good one to another notwithstanding. For now we fee through a Glass darkly; but by and by Face to Face; now we know in Part; but e're long we shall know even as alfo we are known. Then hall all our little filly Differences be adjusted, and we shall agree to love one another with pure Hearts fervently, and to fing the Praises of God and the Lamb together, with united and harmonious Voices, to all Eternity.
