Seek The Peace Of All Men (1674)

Friends, - Seek the peace of all men; which peace is in Christ, which is
a peace the world cannot take away. And blessed are the peacemakers,
that make p[peace among the brethren and people; these shall have a
blessing from the Lord,the king of peace; but wo be unto them that cause
strife and offence. And all walk in the righteousness of Christ the
Lord, over your own righteousness, and do, and act, and speak in his
righteousness; then you act, and do, and speak, and walking that, in
which you have peace, and then God will delight in you, and you will be
loved of him, for he loveth the righteousness.

And let it be below any of God's people to raise an evil report on his
people, or any others, or the give both their ears to any one's report
of his people or matter, till they have heard both parties; so that
righteousness, and truth, and judgment, may be kept up, and not fall.
And in your men and women's meetings, you are in and about the Lord's
business, and not your own; and therefore let the lord be in your eyes,
that all of you his presence, and power, and wisdom, and judgment do
receive, to do, and act, and speak in. And this keeps all in his fear,
to be careful of their words and doings, and keeps all solid, and
virtuous, and sober; and the whatsoever is of a good report, and is
decent and comely, and whatsoever is virtuous, and tends to virtue,and
is lovely, that follow and cherish. And here your eyes are kept open, to
see that nothing be lacking, and that you stand in that which shall
never fall, in the power, and spirit, and seed Christ, who is the sure
foundation, the rock of ages.

G.F.
