Peace I leave with you As bonum haereditarium my peace The peace which I have purchased and paid deere for or mine for kind the same tranquility from righteousnesse imputed which I have it is his also to give men wish the peace of God or Christ he gives it Not as the world giveth Plainely distinguishing his peace from the worlds both in the gift and manner of giving Vers. 28.
