Reverend Ashley says, "It is observable, that in the Church of Corinth there was much Contention and Division in religious Matters... and each Party was concern'd to exalt it self, and pull down the other." Such "an unbecoming Stiffness and Unyieldableness towards one another" is cured by the virtue of Charity, the sine qua non of true religion.
