but_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o express_v half_o the_o joy_n of_o this_o future_a felicity_n eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v neither_o have_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o

enlarge_v upon_o they_o but_o how_o repugnant_a be_v these_o vice_n to_o holiness_n and_o can_v it_o be_v rational_o imagine_v that_o their_o genuine_a and_o proper_a effect_n can_v be_v more_o reconcilable_a with_o it_o i_o confess_v religion_n have_v too_o frequent_o be_v pretend_v as_o a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v the_o great_a villainy_n confusion_n and_o rebellion_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o nothing_o imaginable_a contain_v a_o great_a contradiction_n than_o to_o say_v these_o impiety_n have_v a_o warrant_n from_o the_o sacred_a law_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o combination_n of_o which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o holiness_n as_o i_o have_v former_o explain_v be_v not_o christ_n call_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o gospel_n the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a if_o man_n will_v be_v rule_v by_o the_o law_n of_o so_o peaceable_a a_o prince_n they_o shall_v be_v of_o a_o calm_a and_o quiet_a spirit_n then_o shall_v we_o indeed_o see_v righteousness_n and_o peace_n kiss_v each_o other_o when_o ever_o therefore_o we_o read_v in_o ancient_a prophecy_n of_o the_o great_a peace_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o messiahs_n reign_n we_o must_v thereby_o understand_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o its_o precept_n be_v such_o that_o if_o man_n will_v conform_v their_o life_n to_o they_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o universal_a peace_n how_o strict_o be_v all_o the_o cause_n of_o envy_n contention_n ambition_n and_o rebellion_n prohibit_v and_o sure_o if_o these_o cause_n be_v remove_v their_o effect_n shall_v have_v no_o place_n then_o shall_v the_o bow_n be_v break_v and_o the_o spear_n cut_v in_o sunder_o sword_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o plough_n share_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o war_n into_o more_o necessary_a use_n war_n shall_v cease_v unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o peace_n shall_v be_v within_o each_o wall_n by_o this_o it_o be_v apparent_a how_o much_o holiness_n conduce_v to_o the_o establishment_n of_o public_a peace_n but_o that_o which_o i_o will_v more_o especial_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v the_o internal_a serenity_n and_o calmness_n of_o conscience_n which_o be_v the_o only_a effect_n of_o holiness_n and_o true_o upon_o this_o account_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a i_o may_v here_o appeal_v to_o every_o man_n breast_n whether_o holiness_n do_v not_o calm_a and_o quiet_a the_o conscience_n of_o man_n whileas_o a_o natural_a horror_n result_v from_o the_o commission_n of_o vice_n more_o heavy_a than_o the_o severe_a lash_n ever_o inflict_v by_o ceditius_n or_o rhadamanthus_n what_o unspeakable_a peace_n and_o ease_n do_v attend_v holiness_n of_o life_n there_o be_v no_o jar_n nor_o contention_n no_o check_n of_o conscience_n nor_o wound_n of_o spirit_n to_o disturb_v the_o inward_a repose_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o that_o remorse_n that_o result_v from_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n even_o after_o man_n have_v acquire_v what_o
