maintain_v with_o some_o presumption_n whilst_o we_o maintain_v and_o take_v up_o a_o constant_a fight_n against_o god_n enemy_n in_o we_o and_o disavow_v the_o outrageous_a rise_n of_o our_o lust_n the_o peace_n may_v hold_v and_o often_o do_v for_o whilst_o we_o be_v not_o at_o peace_n with_o sin_n god_n may_v be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o and_o our_o spirit_n but_o so_o much_o peace_n as_o

obser_n 3_o the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v out_o of_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o when_o the_o child_n of_o god_n want_v peace_n he_o can_v have_v no_o peace_n till_o god_n speak_v it_o god_n must_v speak_v peace_n if_o ever_o his_o people_n have_v it_o therefore_o say_v he_o here_o i_o will_v hear_v what_o god_n will_v speak_v he_o speak_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n and_o the_o help_n of_o second_o cause_n and_o of_o all_o mean_n whatever_o which_o in_o time_n of_o distress_n of_o themselves_o can_v do_v no_o good_a reas_n 1_o reason_n first_o because_o god_n be_v the_o king_n of_o all_o the_o world_n the_o sovereign_a lord_n of_o all_o now_o treaty_n of_o war_n and_o peace_n be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o king_n and_o of_o they_o alone_o they_o may_v consult_v with_o their_o subject_n about_o establish_v good_a law_n as_o they_o use_v to_o do_v etc._n etc._n but_o the_o proclaim_v war_n and_o peace_n with_o foreign_a state_n they_o have_v ever_o hold_v in_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o so_o do_v god_n who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n reas_n 2_o second_o because_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o the_o party_n offend_v at_o who_o suit_n all_o arrest_n and_o controversy_n do_v come_v now_o when_o a_o condemn_a man_n stand_v at_o the_o bar_n let_v all_o the_o stander_n by_o say_v what_o they_o will_v bid_v he_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o his_o cause_n will_v go_v well_o yet_o till_o he_o hear_v the_o judge_n himself_o speak_v as_o much_o he_o can_v be_v at_o rest_n in_o his_o mind_n the_o judge_n only_o can_v acquit_v he_o and_o absolve_v he_o the_o king_n alone_o speak_v pardon_n and_o so_o do_v god_n peace_n all_o affliction_n be_v his_o arrest_n thou_o must_v therefore_o make_v thy_o peace_n with_o he_o if_o thou_o will_v be_v at_o peace_n reas_n 3_o three_o peace_n especial_o of_o conscience_n be_v a_o thing_n must_v be_v create_v for_o our_o heart_n of_o themselves_o be_v

the_o chief_a thing_n that_o wound_v they_o be_v the_o loss_n of_o god_n favour_n not_o simple_o his_o wrath_n for_o it_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o his_o favour_n not_o self-love_n only_o that_o make_v they_o seek_v he_o therefore_o nothing_o give_v peace_n but_o the_o restore_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n the_o same_o dart_n that_o wound_a must_v heal_v again_o isay_n 57_o i_o smite_v he_o and_o i_o will_v heal_v he_o and_o as_o one_o that_o be_v sick_a with_o love_n when_o love_n be_v the_o disease_n no_o physic_n no_o persuasion_n of_o

for_o some_o other_o end_n as_o when_o he_o deny_v moses_n to_o go_v into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n he_o do_v it_o with_o much_o respect_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v with_o reverence_n to_o
