1. This is a short Psalm, but one well known and quoted. Behold, how good and how pleasant is it, that brethren should dwell together in unity Psalm 132:1.

THE CONSIDERATION OF A POSITION CONCERNING THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER AS ALSO OF SOME PARTICULARS HELD FORTH FOR TRUTHS, BY ONE EDMUND ELLIS, STYLED A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITH A WARNING OF TENDER BOWELS TO THE RULERS, TEACHERS, AND PEOPLE OF THIS NATION, CONCERNING THEIR CHURCH AND...

Prayer: Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
