Dgy'apline, concern not the Ej'ential: of Religion, but that Good Men may be of vari ous Sentiments about them Salva Fia'e, ci Caritate, is readily acknowl edged. Neverthelefs, there ought to be a fingular Regard unto Truths of this Nature, by us in new-england, above what may be a¿irmed of Men in any other Part of the World, fince our Fathers were Perfecuted out of their Native Land, and fain to ¿y into the Wildernefs, for their Tellimony thereunto: great were the Di¿iculties and Temptations, and Straits, which they for fome time con¿icted [ii] with, and all upon no other Account, but that lo they might enjoy a pure Dgfcipline and Cfiurclz flare, exactly conformable to the Mind of C/zri revealed in the Holy Scriptures. On which Account, for their Polterity to depart from what their Fathers have with fo much Clearnefs of Scripture Light, taught and practifed, and confirmed with fo great Sufiedngs, mull needs be a greater Sin and Provocation to the Eyes of his Glory, than may be faid of any other People on the Face of the Earth.
