  The way to peace amongst all Protestants: being a letter of reconciliation sent by Bp. Ridley to Bp. Hooper, with some observations upon it. Licensed, July the 14. 1688.

summary:
  But now my Dear Brother , forasmuch as I understand by your Works , which I have but superficially seen , That we throughly agree and wholly consent together in those things which are the Grounds and substantial Points of our Religion , against the which the World so furiously rageth in these our days , Howsoever in time past in certain By-matters and Circumstances of Religion , your Wisdom and my Simplicity , I grant , hath a little jarred , each of us following the abundance of his own Sense and Iudgment : Now I say , b● you assured , that even with my whole heart ( God is my witness ) in the Bowels of Christ , I Love you in the Truth , and for the Truths-sake , which abideth in us , and as I am perswaded , shall by the grace of God , abide in us evermore . For Laws while they are in Being have as much Reverence due to them , as is owing to the wisdom of the whole Community by which they were made , and nothing else but our Preingagements to God himself can excuse us from the observance of them : And therefore it cannot be required by the Dissenters , in order to that good Understanding , which I here endeavour and humbly beg there may be amongst Protestants , that we should arraign Five and twenty Statute Laws at once under the Infamous Name of Draconica ; Especially when by one of the Draconica , the whole Church of England , and under the Covert of the Church of England all the Dissenters in England , hold their Bibles● No ;

summary:
  Now then , if these be the usual Consequences of Divisions in matters of Religion , how desirable a Blessing must Unity and Peace be in the Church of God ? But thanks be to God and to our King , that Danger is now quite over ; for , the French King found his Kingdom reduced to such Extremities , that he was forced to desire a Cessation of Arms ; but that being deny'd him , he saw himself constrained to conclude a Peace ; that Peace , which no man could have hoped for , had not our King disabled France to continue the War.

  An earnest plea for peace and moderation in a sermon preached at Barnstaple in Devon, to the ministers and others occasionally there assembled, Octob. 17, 1660 / by Martin Blake.

summary:
  To be hot in our disputes about Supposals , and in the mean season ( even by the violence of such disputes ) to hinder the growth of Reals , Oh how unbeseeming ! how much better would it become us , in matters of this kind , to leave off contending , and to fall a supplicating , first to God , and then unto Authority , that all these obstacles and rubbs in the way of Peace , on either side , may be lovingly removed ? Brethren , we are now ( thanks be to God for it ) under the blessed influence of a gratious Prince , whose heart ( as we may gather from the effects ) is composed and made up ( as I may say ) of Truth and Justice , of Love and Tenderness , to God and Man ; To God , for the promoting of his Service ; To Man , for the procuring of his Good : and how can we but hope for an answerable Care in him to settle Peace and unanimity among us , by a gratious condescention in things convenient to weaker spirits ? And , oh that it would p'ease the Divine Goodnesse ( in whose hand are the hearts of all men ) so to inlighten our minds , and fasten our affections upon the Fundamental and Essential points of Faith and Godlinesse , that , laying aside these fierce disputes , and heart-dividing contentions about Circumstantial Niceties , we might all meet and joyn together in a just and Peaceable Consormity , and so ( at once ) exercise our Piety to God , our Submission to Authority , and our affectionate respects of love and kindly assistance one towards another , ever studying ( as much as in us lies ) the preservation of the Unity of the Spirit , in the bond of Peace ; the best and readiest way ( as wise men deem ) to silence the Clamours , prevent the Designes , and ( if the good pleasure of God be such ) to rectifie the Apprehensions , and reconcile the Hearts of the yet-remaining Sanballats , Tobiaos , and Geshems of the time , who by force and fraud , do what they can to interrupt and hinder us ( as their Fathers sometime did that good Nehemiah ) in repairing the Ruines , and raising up the Walls of our English Jerusalem .

  A sermon tending to peace. Preached before His Majesty, &c. at Newport in the Isle of Wight, during time of this late treaty. By William Haywood D.D. and chaplain in ordinary to His Majesty.

summary:
  Now as of divers creatures the appetites are divers , and sometimes repugnant one to the other ; so also in one and the same creature are found different appetites , betwixt which ma fall out now and then repugnant and contrariety ; as betwixt the sensuall appetite and the rationall , whereby it comes to pass that one and the same party other-whiles is out of peace with himself : Hence is it that Schoolmen make a double degree of Peace , one ad extra , betwixt the appetites of different parties , which they call concord , or outward peace . saith St. Iohn : and he that keeps not peace with his neighbours with whom he hath not alwayes to do ; how can he keep peace in his own affections with which he hath ever to do ? Both kinds therefore must go hand in hand : And so ye see in part what Peace is .

  The things that make for peace delivered in a sermon preached before the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, and the Court of Aldermen, at Guild-Hall Chappel, upon the 23 of August, 1674 / by John Sharpe ...

summary:
  Now then it being thus evident , that every Christian as a Christian is a Member of that Body of Christ which we call the Church : there will be little need of taking pains to prove , that every such person is obliged to joyn in External Communion with the Church where he can do so : for the very nature of this Church-membership doth imply it . The third Proposition is , That the being a Member of any Church doth oblige a man to submit to all the Laws and Constitutions of that Church .

  A peace-offering in the Temple; or, A seasonable plea for unity among dissenting brethren: in a sermon at St. Paul's Church, London, before the Right Honouable the Lord Mayor, &c. on the 14th of October, 1660. By Richard Henchman, Rectour of St. James-Garlick-Hyth.

summary:
  So I am sure it is that , which God requires of Christians , that they should not have divided hearts : but that they should be {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , having one , and the same soul , dwelling in several bodies . And the God of Consolation , because sound Comfort is from God alone : and therefore the Holy Ghost is called by his proper Name , when he is called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} .

  An exhortation to peace and union a sermon preached at St. Lawrence-Jury, at the election of the Lord-Mayor of London, on the 29th of September, 1681 / by Gilbert Burnet ...

summary:
  Things of great moment may be managed by men of prudent and calm tempers in so soft a manner , that none of their differences shall be able to divide them : and the inconsiderablest things possible , may by the ill natured sophistry of angry men , be raised up to seem matters of the greatest moment . It is as certain as any humane thing can possibly be , that when any Body of men are engaged against a Common Enemy , and yet divided among themselves and jealous of one another , they will rather let the Enemy prevail than assist their brethren , even in the wisest and best things , if they think the honour of such actions will raise the credit of their Rivals .

summary:
  error , falsity and unbelief in our mindes , when our actions contradict our words , our words our mindes , our mindes the nature and truth of things , made , or revealed by God : whose will in his works and word , is ( as I said ) the rule of Truth . 2. The second consideration is the union of the two , Truth and Peace ; In God they are united : and so in every good soule , & well ordered Church or State , they may , and doe best agree together : no firme , or durable peace , which is not fastned and cemented with truth :
