The great Hipocrates was of Opinion, (a) Φυχὶν προσμίσγεται ψυχή, That one Soul might be mingled with another, and illuftrates it by fire being mix'd with fire, pronouncing of him who does not think it true, dogwv šols, he is a Fool.

But whether mixture of Souls be practicable, or no, Union of Hearts or Minds, must be jo; for the great God requires it often, and earnestly, and he having made it our Duty, we fhould endeavour it indefatigably.

And let us all, I moft earnestly befeech you, for the Love of God, incessantly pray to the Almighty and most merciful Jefus, our common Lord and Saviour, to difpofe every one of this Church and Nation, to Christian Love, Peace and Unity, and to affift, by his Power and Bleffing, that Peace may be within our Walls, and Profperity within our Palaces. That being free from foreign Foes, and civil Feuds, we may ever flourish in fweet Unanimity, and perfect Concord. That the God, who maketh men to be of one Mind in an Houfe, would, in

bis own good time, make us all to be of one Heart, and of We Soul, as it is faid the Pri mitive Chriftians were.

Which, that we may be, let us humbly implore it at the Hands of God: Let us make it a daily Petition in our private Devotions: And, as often as we can, let us join with our Affemblies in publick Prayer, and fupplicate for Unity with becoming Zeal and Earnestness.

And till fuch time as they can either compofe, or meet with a better form, I moft heartily wish, all boly Supplicants that are Lovers of Peace and Unity, would conftantly use the fol lowing ones in their devout Retirements, and Addreffes to Heaven.

Rant, we beseech thee, O Lord, that the

ordered by thy Governance, that thy Church may joyfully ferve thee in all godly Quietness, thro' Jefus Christ our Lord. Amen.

our unhappy Divifions, Take away all Hatred and Prejudice, and whatfoever else may hinder us from godly Union and Concord: That as there is but one Body, and one Spirit, and one Hope of our Calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptifm, one God and Father of us all: So we may benceforth, be all of one Heart, and of one Soul, united in one boly Bond of Truth and Peace, of Faith and Charity, and may with one mind, and one Mouth, glorify thee, O God, through Jefus Christ our Lord. Amen.

seeking by all good Ways and Means to gain and win them over to our Communion. More especially that they have a very tender Regard to our Brethren, the Proteftant Diffenters: That upon occafion offer'd, They vifit Them at their Houses, and receive Them kindly at Their own; and treat Them fairly wherever They meet Them; perfuading Them, if it may be, to a full Compliance with our Church; Or, at the leaft, that whereunto We have already attain'd, We may all walk by the fame Rule, and mind the fame Thing. And in order hereunto, That They take all Opportunities of affuring and convincing Them, That the Bishops of this Church are really and fincerely irreconcilable Enemies of the Errors, Superftitions, Idolatries, and Tyrannies of the Church of Rome; and that the very unkind Jealoufies which fome have had of us to the contrary, were altogether groundless, And in the laft Place, That They warmly and most affectionately exhort them to join with us in daily fervent Prayer to the God of Peace, for an Univerfal Bleffed Union of all Reform'd Churches, both at Home and Abroad, against our Common Enemies; And that all They who do confefs the Holy Name of our dear Lord, and do agree in the Truth of his Holy Word, may alfo meet in one Holy Communion, and live in perfect Unity and godly Love,
