goeth over his back s which fhould be an example 
to us of love and unity ; and when once our private 
intereif doth meet with the publick, fo that one of

divifions : an inftance of which we have in

knowing that he was chofen .of God, but gave 
place to him : I might further inlargfe this, but let
