the_o great_a mercy_n in_o the_o world_n to_o rob_v such_o person_n of_o their_o peace_n and_o to_o discover_v to_o they_o their_o danger_n they_o be_v only_o capable_a of_o true_a peace_n by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o which_o be_v false_a therefore_o bring_v yourselves_o to_o this_o trial_n whether_o or_o no_o do_v that_o peace_n which_o now_o you_o please_v yourselves_o in_o cause_n in_o you_o a_o eternal_a hatred_n of_o sin_n do_v it_o set_v you_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o your_o most_o belove_a lust_n than_o it_o be_v that_o peace_n that_o spring_v from_o god_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o a_o estate_n of_o war_n with_o god_n though_o they_o do_v not_o feel_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o war_n true_a indeed_o god_n do_v not_o always_o draw_v the_o sword_n either_o of_o famine_n pestilence_n or_o war_n against_o a_o nation_n and_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v act_v in_o a_o most_o hostile_a way_n against_o god_n so_o for_o a_o person_n god_n may_v not_o blast_v thy_o estate_n or_o send_v disease_n upon_o thy_o person_n or_o raise_v a_o tumult_n in_o thy_o conscience_n and_o make_v a_o conspiracy_n of_o thy_o thought_n and_o passion_n against_o thy_o peace_n thou_o may_v be_v quiet_a within_o and_o yet_o have_v war_n with_o god_n because_o as_o in_o the_o world_n there_o may_v be_v a_o truce_n when_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n the_o war_n may_v still_o continue_v though_o there_o be_v a_o truce_n between_o two_o prince_n or_o rather_o there_o be_v not_o a_o truce_n between_o god_n and_o the_o sinner_n but_o as_o a_o town_n that_o be_v besiege_v for_o many_o day_n may_v not_o feel_v the_o battery_n of_o their_o enemy_n because_o he_o be_v undermine_v they_o to_o blow_v they_o up_o at_o once_o so_o god_n do_v not_o many_o time_n make_v his_o battery_n against_o sinner_n but_o he_o be_v under_o mine_v they_o and_o the_o fall_n at_o the_o last_o will_v be_v dreadful_a if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o composition_n use_v 2._o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n let_v i_o press_v you_o all_o to_o follow_v peace_n it_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o the_o gospel_n enjoin_v with_o the_o great_a force_n of_o word_n and_o expression_n the_o apostle_n when_o he_o be_v to_o seal_v up_o his_o affection_n to_o they_o he_o do_v it_o with_o that_o prayer_n 2_o thess_n 3.16_o now_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n himself_o give_v you_o peace_n always_o by_o all_o mean_n what_o strange_a expression_n first_o he_o give_v you_o hear_v the_o title_n of_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o then_o he_o say_v himself_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n himself_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o force_n in_o that_o word_n peace_n be_v so_o excellent_a a_o blessing_n and_o there_o be_v such_o a_o abhorrency_n in_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o it_o that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o lord_n himself_o that_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v it_o as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v the_o lord_n must_v bow_v the_o heaven_n he_o must_v come_v down_o himself_o to_o create_v peace_n among_o you_o and_o to_o express_v the_o great_a vehemency_n of_o his_o desire_n he_o say_v give_v you_o peace_n always_o by_o all_o mean_n so_o another_o scripture_n pursue_v peace_n follow_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n a_o word_n that_o import_v our_o pursuit_n after_o it_o though_o it_o run_v from_o we_o this_o be_v the_o strain_n and_o tenor_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o become_v you_o as_o christian_n when_o christ_n come_v to_o purchase_v our_o peace_n he_o come_v as_o a_o lamb_n a_o innocent_a and_o meek_a creature_n behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n when_o the_o holy_a spirit_n descend_v to_o seal_v the_o privilege_n of_o peace_n to_o we_o he_o descend_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o dove_n a_o gaulless_a creature_n in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o rancour_n nor_o bitterness_n what_o a_o strong_a engagement_n shall_v this_o be_v upon_o all_o of_o we_o to_o pursue_v and_o promote_v peace_n and_o for_o your_o encouragement_n consider_v 1._o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n all_o the_o promise_n do_v as_o it_o be_v empty_v themselves_o into_o this_o blessing_n the_o blessing_n of_o peace_n thus_o isai_n 11.6_o you_o shall_v

shall_v lie_v down_o together_o and_o the_o lion_n shall_v eat_v straw_n like_o the_o ox._n that_o which_o i_o observe_v from_o thence_o be_v this_o that_o god_n here_o promise_v to_o cause_v a_o universal_a peace_n and_o unity_n under_o the_o gospel_n though_o it_o be_v as_o difficult_a as_o to_o persuade_v the_o most_o disagree_a nature_n to_o a_o peaceable_a co-habition_a for_o here_o the_o scripture_n instance_n in_o those_o creature_n between_o which_o there_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a and_o therefore_o the_o most_o fierce_a animosity_n the_o lord_n will_v reconcile_v man_n though_o their_o difference_n be_v never_o so_o great_a what_o be_v too_o hard_a for_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n to_o effect_v be_v not_o god_n of_o infinite_a power_n of_o infinite_a love_n then_o it_o shall_v quicken_v we_o to_o pursue_v peace_n 1._o by_o prayer_n to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v it_o certain_o that_o god_n that_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v order_n into_o the_o world_n when_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a lump_n and_o mass_n of_o confusion_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v peace_n and_o to_o unite_v our_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a the_o great_a our_o difference_n and_o division_n be_v the_o more_o will_v the_o power_n of_o this_o god_n appear_v in_o reconcile_a they_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o god_n throne_n be_v in_o darkness_n that_o be_v his_o way_n of_o providence_n be_v very_o difficult_a for_o we_o to_o trace_v and_o find_v out_o and_o therefore_o when_o our_o division_n be_v at_o the_o high_a he_o be_v able_a by_o one_o word_n to_o allay_v the_o storm_n this_o shall_v encourage_v we_o in_o prayer_n this_o be_v the_o course_n of_o god_n to_o glorify_v himself_o by_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o great_a trouble_n when_o near_o to_o we_o and_o to_o work_v out_o one_o contrary_a by_o another_o to_o give_v you_o some_o instance_n that_o so_o we_o may_v encourage_v our_o faith_n and_o quicken_v our_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o this_o blessing_n consider_v how_o still_o god_n have_v make_v difficulty_n the_o way_n for_o enjoyment_n for_o instance_n the_o promise_n that_o sarah_n shall_v be_v the_o mother_n of_o a_o child_n but_o he_o make_v way_n for_o that_o by_o her_o dead_a womb_n for_o all_o that_o numerous_a progeny_n which_o like_o the_o star_n of_o the_o sky_n descend_v from_o she_o that_o he_o first_o maim_v jacob_n and_o then_o give_v he_o the_o blessing_n he_o bring_v joseph_n from_o the_o prison_n to_o a_o princely_a palace_n first_o david_n be_v harass_v with_o trouble_n and_o then_o his_o head_n be_v deck_v with_o the_o imperial_a crown_n so_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o a_o few_o fishermen-man_n shall_v have_v advance_v the_o empire_n of_o

the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o this_o epistle_n for_o as_o there_o be_v scarce_o one_o epistle_n but_o begin_v with_o it_o so_o many_o end_n with_o it_o likewise_o as_o in_o eph._n 6.24_o the_o

the_o apostle_n to_o use_v it_o frequent_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o his_o writing_n i_o think_v as_o i_o make_v it_o the_o matter_n of_o my_o prayer_n for_o you_o in_o the_o beginning_n so_o i_o may_v make_v it_o my_o farewell_n to_o you_o in_o the_o end_n and_o therefore_o grace_n be_v unto_o you_o &_o peace_n from_o god_n our_o father_n &_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n beside_o this_o as_o jacob_n say_v to_o his_o benjamin_n concern_v his_o venison_n when_o his_o father_n ask_v he_o how_o he_o find_v it_o so_o quick_o he_o answer_v because_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n

come_v to_o my_o thought_n and_o open_v the_o book_n come_v immediate_o to_o my_o sight_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v say_v god_n bring_v it_o to_o i_o which_o i_o no_o soon_o look_v upon_o but_o methinks_v i_o see_v the_o apostle_n on_o mount_n gerizim_n and_o his_o mouth_n fill_v with_o blessing_n for_o what_o great_a blessing_n can_v a_o man_n wish_v than_o that_o which_o comprehend_v all_o

through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o order_n of_o the_o word_n be_v worth_a nothing_o grace_n be_v to_o you_o and_o peace_n first_o grace_n than_o peace_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o

from_o god_n as_o a_o father_n but_o as_o our_o father_n and_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v our_o father_n but_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v grace_n be_v
