Humble Christians never affect singularly, nor pretend to have preference one to another: they rather study to be of one mind, and strive not about words, lest the general harmony subsisting between them; and the edification of souls be hindered.

Whoever judges and blames everything and can never agree in words and notions, or join in devotion with other experienced Christians is puffed up with self conceit, and in the way to make a dangerous shipwreck; for pride comes before a fall.

Not diff'rent food, or diff'rent dress,
Compose the kingdom of the Lord,
But peace, and joy, and righteousness,
Faith, and obedience to his word.

When weaker Christians we despise,
We do the gospel mighty wrong;
For God, the gracious and the wise,
Receives the feeble with the strong.

Let pride and wrath be banish'd hence
Meekness and love our souls pursue;
Nor shall our grace give offence
To saints, the Gentiles or the Jew.
