Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of John Owen, D.D, Vol. 21
It is for the sake of them alone who really value and esteem love, peace, and unity among Christians for them selves, that we here tender an account Of our thoughts and principles concerning them. For even Of them there are some who unduly charge us with owning of principles, de structive unto Christian 'love and condescension, and suited to perpetuate the schisms and divisions that are amongst us. Whether this hath been occasioned by an over-valna tion Of their own apprehensions, conceiting that their judg ments ought to give rule and measure to other men's; or whether they have been, it may be insensibly unto them selves, biassed by provocations as they suppose unjustly given them, we are not out of hopes but that they may be convinced Of their mistakes. Upon their indications we have searched our consciences, principles, and practices, to find whether there be any such way Of perverseness in them, as We are charged withal; and may with confidence say, that we have a discharge from thence, where we are principally.
