‘Thus do they live in perfeé& Peace and 
‘perpetual Unity, to which the Profperity and 
Safety of the State is entirely owing ; for

doms. 
If Soul and Body are once feparated, the 
Man dies. If a City. or ‘Houfe. be divided 
againft itfelf it comes to Defolation; and a 
Kingdom divided againft itfelf cannot ftand. 
Thefe little Creatures thus firmly knit to- 
gether in fincere Affection, and combined 
in Power, appear effectually fecured from all

were as firmly united in Fidelity and Af- 
fection, and as true to one another ?. 
“And why fhould not all Chriftians of the — 
Reformed Religion, though under different 
Denominations, be kindly affettioned to one
