For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

Excerpt

Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee. Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers. For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
