Description: "Peace is precious to me. I feel the sweetness of it, and am willing to do what I can to honor it. The public conflicts, contentions, and disturbances in church and commonwealth are very grievous. My aim is peace, which I shall never cease endeavoring and praying for."
— Jeremiah Burroughs

The last sermons that this great Puritan preached were on how the divisions among Christians in his day might be healed. Burroughs was greatly concerned by the breaks he saw believers making with their brothers in Christ, and addressed this issue shortly before his death.

The answer was not in a blanket tolerance of all religions; nor was it to be found in a compromising attitude towards evil. Yet Christians must strive for unity and peace. Burroughs shows what divides us needlessly, and then how peace and unity may be sought. This is extremely relevant for our day!
