THE following extracts from the writings
OF a learRed, pious and orthodox Minifter Of
the gofpel, il is thought, merit attention at
the Preient time -
!. +" AS the church is Chriff's body, which
he nourlihes aud defends, and for which he
Is made head over all things, they who perfe-
cute this, wound him ia moit tender part
They who caule diviGons in this, make a
ichiim in his body They who form parties
IN oPpoiiiion to each other. and fill cali them.
ielves members Of Chril, treat the one Sa.
viour, as If he were divided into az many par
ties, as there are ieets which aiiume his nane.
Z. If the Church is Chril's body, let us
honor IL iludving TO preferve unity il Il. IA.
Dor tor IFS edihcatl0n and comfort.
3. " One great dehgn of Chrifl's death was
TO abolih former dilinction, Z unite all ma
Eions IN one church, and TO Gre in himfelf
one new man, 10 making peace. he has pur-
chaied the church with bis b od, and hi,
church Is one. Though for " convenience
OF worifips u may be divid into many
members fill IT IS one body l. him He IS
the head Of the church and the Saviour of the
body. Hence it follows that all contentious,
divi.ions aud separations il the church Of
Chriit are direct opposition to the deGgn Of
ms death. AS the members Of particular
church ought TO walk together in peace, 10
particular churches lhould maintain conmn-
nioa with one another. They fhould co Op.
