the_o reward_n of_o his_o goodness_n 1._o the_o description_n of_o a_o good_a man_n he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v one_o that_o love_v the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o love_v to_o meditate_v upon_o it_o and_o to_o practice_v it_o 2._o the_o reward_n of_o his_o goodness_n great_a peace_n have_v they_o that_o love_v thy_o law_n the_o word_n peace_n be_v many_o time_n use_v in_o scripture_n in_o a_o very_a large_a sense_n so_o as_o to_o comprehend_v all_o kind_n of_o happiness_n sometime_o it_o signify_v outward_a peace_n and_o quiet_a in_o opposition_n to_o war_n and_o contention_n and_o sometime_o inward_a peace_n and_o contentment_n in_o opposition_n to_o inward_a trouble_n and_o anguish_n i_o understand_v the_o text_n chief_o in_o this_o last_o sense_n not_o whole_o exclude_v either_o of_o the_o other_o my_o design_n at_o present_a from_o these_o word_n be_v to_o recommend_v religion_n to_o man_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o inward_a peace_n and_o pleasure_n which_o attend_v it_o and_o sure_o nothing_o can_v be_v say_v more_o to_o the_o advantage_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o considerate_a man_n than_o this_o for_o the_o aim_n of_o all_o philosophy_n and_o the_o great_a search_n of_o wise_a man_n have_v be_v how_o to_o attain_v peace_n and_o tranquillity_n of_o mind_n and_o if_o religion_n be_v able_a to_o give_v this_o a_o great_a commendation_n need_v not_o be_v give_v to_o religion_n but_o before_o i_o enter_v upon_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v premise_v two_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o caution_n first_o that_o these_o kind_n of_o observation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v too_o strict_o and_o rigorous_o as_o if_o they_o never_o fail_v in_o any_o one_o instance_n aristotle_n observe_v long_o since_o that_o moral_a and_o proverbial_a say_n be_v understand_v to_o be_v true_a general_o and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o that_o be_v all_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v in_o they_o as_o when_o solomon_n say_v train_z up_o a_o child_n in_o the_o way_n wherein_o he_o shall_v go_v and_o when_o he_o be_v old_a he_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o it_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v so_o take_v as_o if_o no_o child_n that_o be_v pious_o educate_v do_v ever_o miscarry_v afterward_o but_o that_o the_o good_a education_n of_o child_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o make_v good_a man_n and_o common_o approve_v to_o be_v so_o by_o experience_n so_o here_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o great_a peace_n have_v they_o that_o love_n god_n law_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o religion_n have_v general_o this_o effect_n though_o in_o some_o case_n and_o as_o to_o some_o person_n it_o may_v be_v accidental_o hinder_v second_o when_o i_o say_v that_o religion_n give_v peace_n and_o tranquillity_n to_o our_o mind_n this_o be_v chief_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o religious_a state_n in_o which_o a_o man_n be_v well_o settle_a and_o confirm_v and_o not_o of_o our_o first_o entrance_n into_o it_o for_o that_o be_v more_o or_o less_o troublesome_a according_a as_o we_o make_v it_o if_o we_o begin_v a_o religious_a course_n betimes_o before_o we_o have_v contract_v any_o great_a guilt_n and_o before_o the_o habit_n of_o sin_n be_v grow_v strong_a in_o we_o the_o work_n go_v on_o easy_o without_o any_o great_a conflict_n or_o resistance_n but_o the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o when_o a_o man_n break_v off_o from_o a_o wicked_a life_n and_o become_v religious_a from_o the_o direct_a contrary_a course_n in_o which_o he_o have_v be_v long_o and_o deep_o engage_v in_o this_o case_n no_o man_n be_v so_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o sensible_a trouble_n and_o difficulty_n in_o the_o make_n of_o this_o change_n but_o when_o it_o be_v once_o make_v peace_n and_o comfort_n will_v spring_v up_o by_o degree_n and_o daily_o increase_v as_o we_o grow_v more_o confirm_v and_o establish_v in_o a_o good_a course_n these_o two_o thing_n be_v premise_v i_o shall_v now_o endeavour_v to_o show_v that_o religion_n give_v a_o man_n the_o great_a pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o mind_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a peace_n nor_o any_o comparable_a pleasure_n to_o be_v have_v in_o a_o contrary_a course_n and_o that_o from_o these_o two_o head_n from_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n and_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v apt_a to_o produce_v peace_n and_o tranquillity_n of_o mind_n i._n first_o from_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n i_o shall_v select_v some_o of_o those_o text_n which_o be_v more_o full_a and_o
