strike_v both_o way_n for_o the_o first_o many_o have_v peace_n who_o yet_o be_v not_o believer_n i_o grant_v it_o many_o who_o be_v unbeliever_n have_v quiet_a peace_n be_v not_o in_o trouble_n as_o other_o man_n psal_n 7.3_o 5._o 1._o a_o peace_n they_o have_v but_o it_o be_v a_o false_a peace_n and_o a_o true_a war_n be_v better_a than_o a_o false_a peace_n 2._o a_o peace_n they_o have_v but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n rather_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o strong_a man_n keep_v the_o house_n and_o therefore_o all_o be_v at_o peace_n 3._o a_o peace_n they_o have_v but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o outward_a peace_n not_o a_o inward_a peace_n the_o heart_n know_v its_o own_o bitterness_n even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o laughter_n the_o heart_n be_v sorrowful_a when_o the_o countenance_n be_v full_a of_o cheer_n the_o conscience_n be_v full_a of_o woe_n as_o the_o godly_a have_v often_o the_o pearl_n of_o joy_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o the_o dew_n of_o tear_n be_v in_o their_o eye_n so_o the_o wicked_a 4_o a_o peace_n they_o have_v but_o it_o be_v but_o the_o peace_n of_o a_o dream_a sleep_a man_n not_o the_o peace_n of_o a_o man_n awaken_v or_o it_o be_v but_o 5._o a_o peace_n of_o a_o condemn_a man_n before_o his_o execution_n the_o peace_n of_o a_o calm_a before_o a_o storm_n i_o have_v show_v you_o there_o be_v a_o fourfold_a conscience_n 1._o good_a and_o quiet_a 2._o not_o god_n nor_o quiet_a 3._o good_a but_o not_o quiet_a 4._o quiet_v but_o not_o good_a which_o quiet_a do_v arise_v partly_o from_o ignorance_n of_o their_o condition_n or_o from_o carnal_a security_n or_o from_o brawninesse_n of_o conscience_n want_v of_o inquiry_n into_o conscience_n but_o it_o be_v far_o from_o true_a peace_n sure_o i_o be_o sanctorum_fw-la pax_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la ubi_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la gratia_n pax_fw-la est_fw-la haereditas_fw-la sanctorum_fw-la where_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n hence_o say_v one_o peace_n be_v the_o inheritance_n of_o saint_n only_o it_o be_v all_o the_o legacy_n which_o the_o prince_n of_o peace_n lest_o to_o his_o subject_n peace_n i_o leave_v with_o you_o my_o peace_n i_o give_v unto_o you_o joh._n 14.27_o there_o may_v be_v godliness_n without_o peace_n for_o a_o time_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o peace_n without_o godliness_n as_o jehu_n say_v to_o jehoram_fw-la what_o peace_n so_o long_o as_o the_o whoredom_n of_o thy_o mother_n and_o her_o witchcraft_n be_v so_o many_o so_o i_o say_v to_o you_o what_o peace_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n say_v my_o god_n to_o the_o wicked_a isa_n 57.21_o 1._o they_o have_v no_o peace_n with_o god_n god_n be_v their_o enemy_n 2._o they_o have_v no_o peace_n with_o conscience_n that_o be_v full_a of_o storm_n as_o one_o say_v of_o jonah_n ubi_fw-la peccatum_fw-la ibi_fw-la procella_fw-la where_o sin_n be_v there_o be_v a_o storm_n a_o sinful_a conscience_n be_v a_o stormy_a conscience_n though_o for_o the_o present_a it_o be_v quiet_a yet_o it_o be_v like_o a_o book_n bind_v up_o wherein_o if_o ever_o it_o be_v unclasp_v if_o ever_o it_o be_v open_v nothing_o but_o hellish_a tragedy_n will_v appear_v and_o that_o peace_n thou_o have_v in_o a_o sinful_a way_n it_o be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o eternal_a war_n it_o be_v but_o like_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o old_a world_n they_o ate_z they_o drink_v they_o marry_v and_o

joab_n and_o shimei_n the_o peace_n of_o eli_n house_n the_o peace_n of_o all_o ungodly_a man_n who_o when_o they_o say_v peace_n and_o safety_n then_o sudden_a destruction_n as_o travel_v upon_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n so_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o escape_v 1_o thes_n 5.3_o object_n 2._o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v many_o be_v believer_n who_o yet_o want_v peace_n ans_fw-fr indeed_o the_o best_a have_v no_o perfection_n of_o peace_n because_o they_o want_v a_o perfection_n of_o grace_n they_o have_v no_o perfection_n of_o peace_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o perfection_n of_o faith_n the_o perfection_n of_o grace_n if_o there_o be_v a_o perfection_n of_o grace_n than_o there_o may_v be_v a_o perfection_n of_o peace_n but_o the_o perfection_n of_o both_o be_v reserve_v to_o another_o world_n though_o sometime_o believer_n may_v have_v such_o a_o peace_n as_o may_v overcome_v all_o doubt_n fear_n trouble_n etc._n etc._n yet_o ordinary_o their_o peace_n be_v not_o so_o high_a there_o be_v doubt_v as_o well_o as_o confidence_n fear_v as_o well_o as_o faith_n trouble_v as_o well_o as_o peace_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o godly_a here_o be_v a_o peace_n join_v with_o war_n our_o inward_a peace_n be_v join_v with_o inward_a war_n war_n against_o sin_n and_o corruption_n it_o be_v such_o a_o peace_n as_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o freedom_n from_o war_n but_o in_o a_o actual_a war_a the_o flesh_n still_o lust_a against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o till_o this_o great_a makebate_a be_v take_v away_o till_o sin_n be_v destroy_v we_o must_v look_v for_o no_o perfect_a peace_n 2._o but_o second_o you_o say_v believer_n want_v peace_n it_o may_v be_v they_o do_v they_o want_v the_o sense_n of_o peace_n but_o not_o the_o ground_n of_o peace_n they_o have_v the_o ground_n of_o peace_n interest_n in_o christ_n reconciliation_n with_o god_n justification_n pardon_v of_o sin_n sanctification_n although_o for_o present_a they_o want_v the_o sense_n of_o peace_n the_o clear_a apprehension_n of_o all_o this_o to_o their_o soul_n they_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n rom._n 5.1_o but_o they_o want_v peace_n with_o themselves_o the_o direct_a act_n of_o faith_n give_v a_o man_n peace_n with_o god_n isa_n 27.5_o let_v he_o take_v hold_n of_o my_o strength_n and_o i_o will_v be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o but_o the_o reflect_v act_n of_o faith_n be_v it_o which_o give_v a_o man_n peace_n within_o himself_o a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o one_o and_o yet_o want_v the_o other_o 3._o it_o may_v be_v they_o hold_v some_o secret_a compliance_n with_o some_o secret_a and_o sweet_a corruption_n there_o may_v be_v some_o secret_a jonah_n which_o lie_v under_o hatch_n some_o secret_a achan_n which_o lie_v undiscovered_a some_o secret_a close_a corruption_n which_o may_v cause_n god_n to_o make_v war_n against_o his_o own_o people_n and_o deny_v they_o peace_n and_o therefore_o in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v do_v as_o the_o mariner_n in_o the_o storm_n as_o israel_n in_o their_o trouble_n cast_v lot_n enter_v upon_o inquiry_n what_o that_o be_v that_o trouble_v our_o peace_n and_o then_o cast_v he_o overboard_o that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v calm_v we_o have_v a_o passage_n worth_a observation_n 2_o sam._n 20._o from_o vers_n 16._o to_o 23._o joab_n besiege_v abel_n and_o threaten_v war_n a_o woman_n cry_v out_o from_o the_o city_n to_o know_v the_o cause_n he_o return_v her_o answer_n there_o be_v one_o sheba_n the_o son_n of_o bichri_fw-la who_o be_v a_o traitor_n to_o the_o king_n cast_v his_o head_n over_o the_o wall_n and_o all_o shall_v be_v at_o peace_n which_o do_v joab_n and_o all_o israel_n retire_v every_o man_n to_o his_o tent_n and_o there_o be_v a_o peace_n thus_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o besiege_v one_o of_o his_o own_o subject_n because_o they_o harbour_v some_o secret_a traitor_n some_o close_a lust_n and_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o inquire_v and_o find_v out_o the_o traitor_n to_o yield_v up_o our_o sin_n and_o god_n will_v be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o whereas_o otherwise_o god_n will_v never_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o who_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o his_o lust_n nor_o spare_v he_o that_o spare_v his_o sin_n 4._o it_o may_v be_v they_o want_v present_a peace_n because_o for_o present_v they_o be_v in_o war_a condition_n 1._o in_o great_a combat_n with_o lust_n and_o corruption_n 2._o in_o great_a conflict_n with_o satan_n 3._o in_o sad_a desert_a condition_n at_o which_o time_n they_o may_v want_v the_o sense_n of_o peace_n the_o soul_n be_v now_o in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o peace_n and_o though_o with_o rebekah_n they_o have_v some_o struggle_v in_o the_o womb_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o god_n will_v part_v the_o womb_n at_o last_o he_o will_v speak_v peace_n to_o his_o people_n at_o last_o he_o will_v break_v the_o cloud_n and_o discover_v himself_o 5._o you_o say_v believer_n want_v peace_n but_o it_o be_v not_o as_o they_o be_v believer_n but_o as_o they_o be_v doubter_n if_o they_o have_v more_o faith_n they_o will_v have_v more_o peace_n it_o may_v be_v they_o
