eternall Nay let vs yet goe further even he who tells vs plainely that he came not to set peace in the world but warre who forewarneth his Apostles that for his sake housholds shall be devided Kingdomes troubled his Disciples persecuted from place to place That even then they should esteeme themselues happie when they shall be persecuted for his name He hath not promised vs a deceitfull and fraudulent peace which flatters many times the bodie to the hurt of the soule and makes vs forsake our inheritance for a pease and for very huskes and therefore he addes further I giue vnto you my peace not the worlds peace but contrariwise make your account to haue the world for your enemy What else doe wee see in all the liues of the Apostles for the space of so many ages in the death of so many Martyrs Not the peace of this world how long shall we be children and how long vnder the tutorship of the Law onely to taste and desire milke and hony Not peace with men seeing for this cause it behooved that God should become man and that heaven should come downe vpon earth Could not some Salomon haue given vs that peace But my peace peace with God peace in our selues with our selues which the onely Prince of peace the father of eternitie can giue vnto vs. Even he as the Prophet tells vs Mich. 5.3.5 whose goings forth haue beene from everlasting of whom it is written this man shall be the peace being able both to accomplish it and to giue it and is that very peace himselfe The governor of Israell of whose comming Haggai the Prophet sayth Hag. 2.6 I will set peace in this place to wit in my Temple in my Church sayth the Lord of Hostes A peace notwithstanding far different from that which carnall people which flesh and bloud comprehends Seeing that the government of this Prince of peace is vpon his shoulder A proofe that he should haue much to suffer himselfe even this governour whole kingdome is wholly disdained throwne downe and crushed and yet therein properly cosisteth the peace which he bringeth vs that in his wounding we might and healing for what temporall peace can wee expect from him and by him whose life in this world was a continuall warrefare He will say vnto vs Shall the servant thinke to be better intreated then the Sonne then the heire then the Father of the Familie Well then sayth he I giue you my peace mine such a peace as no other but I could make I. peace with God whom no other but Man God could vndertake Your iniquities had made a separation betweene you Isai 59.2 and your God and hath made him to hide his face from you nor would he vouchsafe to looke vpon you neither could he but in his anger and to your ruine and eternall damnation And therefore behold now how that by my mediation you haue peace with him and that in my bloud which I am ready to shed for you is made the propitiation for your sinnes a mystery heretofore hidden from other ages but now a myracle which will fill all the world with astonishment confound all humane wisdome in their discourses whence it is that the Prophet long agoe being ravished in himselfe cryeth out and sayth Esa 52.7 Oh how beautifull are the feete of him vpon the mountaines who bringeth glad tydings who proclaime peace and salvation vnto Israell And you haue this priviledge to be of them not onely to partake of this salvation but also to be the heraulds dispensers therof to proclaime the benefit of my death the forgiuenesse of sins vnto the world to manifest vnto Sion this good tydings Thy God reigneth Isa 52.7 and yet not with an iron rod for who then could beare it But with meekenesse and with mercie Zech. 9.9 Whereof you inioy the priviledges of his kingdome that is righteousnesse peace and ioy in the holy Ghost Rō 14.17 And therefore wee reade so often in the Writings of the Apostles Grace be with you and peace from Iesus Christ Peace through grace for without the grace of God there is no peace And therefore so often it is sayd Mercy and peace are mett together Gal. 6.16 one proceeding from the other Iude the 2. verse and both of them in Christ alone Thence it is that the Lord himselfe tells vs. Esay 48.22 57.21 that there is no peace for the wicked because there can bee no peace where there is no grace What soever peace they seeme to haue in outward appearance yet alwaies sayth the Prophet they are like a troubled Sea And there can be no grace but onely in Christ In Christ in whose name God sends to proclaime peace every where Act. 10.36 In Christ Ephe. 2.14 Rom. 1.5 who himselfe is our peace In whom being iustified by faith wee haue peace with God peace with all men Truly that peace which we seeke and which wee finde in him But here it is time now to examine what is the efficacie thereof Certainely it is such that in this peace alone we finde whatsoever is in all others and yet in all others put together we finde nothing of that which is found in this peace perfect in it selfe and makes a supply to all others Now three kindes of peace are vsually recōmended vnto vs. And first peace with all men as the Apostle saith Rom. 12.18 if it be possible as much as lyeth in you haue peace with all men But hath a man it when he will or did even the Apostle himselfe obtaine it And seeing such manner of speeches are doubtfull is it not rather to be desired then hoped True Christians especially being the obiects of the hatred and fury of the world secondly peace amongst our selues As when our Saviour sayth vnto his Disciples Mark 9.51 haue salt in your selues and be at peace one with another But amongst such varietie of humaine passions and so many civill broyles what salt what wisedome will suffice to season it if the bond of the spirit and true Christianitie come not betweene for even amongst the Apostles themselues at the evening of the Passion and in the presence of their maister yea even of such a maister who saw the very depth of their soules what disputes had they And now last of all peace amongst our selues To which purpose the Apostle exhorteth vs. 1 Thess 5.13 Be at peace among your selues 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is to say possesse your soules in patience But againe how can this be where the outward man striveth against the inward the flesh lusteth against the spirit the spirit of flesh against the spirit of God the law of our members against the law of our minde tameth it leadeth it captiue is sold vnder sinne But in that peace which we haue with God by Christ alone wee recover all this even peace with all men will they nill they Because he who hath peace with the Creator
