Christianity pares off the roughness and rigidness of men's spirits, and makes them lie even in God's building; they that were hateful, hating one another, now are meek, gentle, tender-hearted, and easy to be entreated. The sweet cement which in one sure band connects the whole frame, is love and charity.
