world perfect peace being a fruit of perfect reconciliation But Gods Elect shall be perfectly reconciled unto him in the World to come because they have been are or shall be truly reconciled unto him in this world Ergo. 2. They that shall be perfectly justified in the World to come shall have perfect peace in that world perfect peace being a fruit of perfect Justification But Gods Elect shall be perfectly justified in the world to come Act. 3. 19. because they are have been or shall be truly justified in this world Rom. 5. 1. Ergo. 3. They that shall be perfectly sanctified in the world to come shall have perfect peace in that world perfect peace being a fruit of perfect Sanctification But Gods Elect shall be perfectly sanctified in the world to come because they are have been or shall be truly sanctified in this world Ergo. 4. They that are wont to have their mindes stay'd on God in this world so as to be stedfast towards him in respect of graces received and truths received and in respect of well doing c. shall have perfect peace in the world to come according to that of the Prophet Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose minde is stayed on thee Isai 26. 3. Now Gods Elect after they are effectually called are wont to have their mindes thus stayed on him Ergo. 5. They that are wont to trust in God really and in sincerity here in this world shal have perfect peace in the world to come as the Prophet adds in the former place Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace because he trusteth in thee Isai 26. 3. Now Gods Elect after their effectual calling are wont thus to trust in him Ergo. 6. They that do or shall love Gods Word in sincerity while they live here shall have perfect peace in the world to come because they shall have great peace in this life as it is written Great peace have they that love thy Law Psal 119. 165. Now Gods Elect are such as do or shall love his Word in sincerity while they live here Ergo. 7. They that do or shall endevor to walk according to the rule of Gods Word while they live here shall have perfect peace in the World to come according to that of the Apostle As many as walk according to this Rule peace be on them and mercy Gal. 6. 16. Now Gods Elect are such as do or shall endevor to walk according to this rule whiles they live in this world Ergo. 8. They that are or shall be sincere and upright before God in this world shall have perfect peace in that which is to come as I gather from that of the Prophet Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace Psal 37. 37. his end being put chiefly for his future condition in the next world Now Gods Elect are such as are or shall be all upright and sincere before him in this world Ergo. 9. They that are under a Covenant of peace and have an inward right thereunto shall have perfect peace in the world to come according to the same Covenant Now Gods Elect are all under a Covenant of peace and have an inward right thereunto as appeareth Ezek. 34. 25. 37. 26. Ergo. 10. They that shall have nothing to offend them in the world to come shall have perfect peace in that world But Gods Elect shall have nothing to offend them in the world to come as it is promised in plain words Nothing shall offend them Psal 119. 165. Which Promise though it may in some respects and degrees be made good to them in this world yet it shall not be perfectly fulfilled but in that which is to come when nothing at all shall offend them Erg. 11. They that do or shall do good in this life with an honest and good heart shall have perfect peace in the world to come as the Apostle witnesseth when he saith Peace shall be to every man that worketh good to the Jew first and also to the Greek Rom. 2. 10. But Gods Elect are such as do or shall do good in this life with an honest and good heart Ergo. They shall have perfect peace in that which is to come This Proposition thus cleared and proved may be useful As Vse First It makes for the confutation of such as expect a state of perfect peace in this world before its end and give out in their Pamphlets That the latter times shall abound with such peace and unity as the like was never seen For proof whereof they wrest many passages of Scripture and draw them to a wrong sence But these Writers are much mistaken For as I have shewed before that perfect peace which is promised in holy Writ belongs to the world to come not to this world And it is a vain thing for any to expect perfect peace in this world for these causes 1. Because God hath put enmity betwixt the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent Gen. 3. betwixt the godly and the wicked so that the wicked are still an abomination to the just and the just are still an abomination to the wicked Which enmity doubtless will continue as long as this world it self continues 2. Because there is still an enmity betwixt the flesh and the spirit in every regenerate person For the flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh and these are contrary the one to the other so that we cannot do the things that we would Gal. 5. 17. Which enmity also is likely to continue unto the worlds end 3. Because the New Testament which best describes this latter age of the world fore-shews that the latter times shall be very unquiet troublesom and perillous What saith our Saviour Think not saith he that I am come to send peace on Earth I came not to send peace but a sword I am come to set a man at variance against his father and the daughter against her mother and the daughter in law against her mother in law and a mans foes shall be they of his own houshold Matt. 10. 24 35 36. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars Matth. 24. 6. And saith he in the world ye shall have tribulation Joh. 16. 33. In the last days perillous times shall come saith Saint Paul 2 Tim. 3. 1. Yea we finde Rev. 20. That Christ at his second Coming from Heaven shall find the Nations of the world in a posture of war And for these Reasons we have no cause to think that the latter times shall be such peaceable times as some have described Indeed I grant That Gods faithful people and servants at certain times may enjoy much good peace in this world They may have some experience of peace with God through Christ They may have at times some peace of Conscience within themselves They may have peace from war and peace from publick persecution for a time But for any to dream

3. These things considered I see no reason why any should grudg at the prosperity of wicked rich men in this world seeing that the Reprobate sort of them shall have a very poor estate in the world to come But I infer with the Prophet Fret not thy self because of evill doers neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity for they shal soon be cut down like the grasse and wither as the green herb Psal 73. 1 2. Secondly if we wil not be as none desires to be poor with Reprobates in the world to come we must labour to be poor in Spirit and rich in grace while we live in this world for if we be poor in Spirit here in this life we shall not be poor in the world to come as we may gather from that of our Saviour Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven Mat. 5. 3. And if we be rich in grace that is in knowledg faith repentance love and hope c. we shall not be poor in the World to come as we may gather from that of Saint James Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him Jam. 2. 5. SECT XVIII Touching the Peace of Gods Elect and the Tribulation of Reprobates in the World to come HEre followeth an eighth special Difference which shall be betwixt the parties before named in the World to come which may be thus expressed Gods Elect shall have Peace in the World Reprobates shall have Tribulation to come The former Proposition is That Gods Elect 1 Proposit shall have Peace in the World to come which Peace of theirs is to be considered As touching the Nature of it As touching the Certainty of it As touching the Nature of it I affirm 1. That their Peace in the World to come shall be great Peace According to that promise Great shall be the Peace of thy Children Isai 54. 13. which promise may be performed partly in this world and partly in Heaven but it shall be perfectly performed only in the world to come wherein the peace of Gods Elect shall be great for variety and great for excellency Their peace shall be great for variety because in that world They shall have peace with God God shall be no enemy unto them neither shall he lay any thing to their charge but shall be more fully reconciled unto them in respect of manifestation then now he is They shall have peace with Christ for Christ shall be no Enemy unto them neither shall he lay any thing to their charge in that world but shall own them for his Friends his Spouse his Love his undefiled They shall have peace with their Consciences Their Consciences shall not accuse nor trouble them for any sin for any thing but as they shall have boldness at the day of Judgment arising from peace of Conscience 1 Joh. 4. 18. so this peace shall continue still They shall have peace among themselves that is they shall worship and serve God peaceably together with one minde and with one heart and so there shall be one Lord and his Name one Zech. 14. 9. because the Elect shall worship onely one Lord and that with one kinde of worship and with one heart and one Soul in that world They shall have peace from the Angels for as the good Angels shall have no will so the evil Angels shall have no power to hurt or molest them as we may gather from that Promise The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly Rom. 16. vers 20. They shall have peace from wicked men and women for though the Saints shall have power to molest and trouble the wicked yet the wicked shall have no power to molest and trouble the Saints in that world seeing they shall be bound in chains Psal 149. 7. They shall have peace from all other creatures in that world as it is written Thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee and thou shalt know that thy Tabernacle shall be in peace Job 5. 23 24. Again it is said The Wolf and the Lamb shall feed together and the Lion shall eat straw like the Bullock and dust shall be the Serpents meat They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy Mountain saith the Lord Isa 65. 25. Which prophetical Promises shall never be perfectly fulfilled in this world but they shall be so fulfilled in that which is to come Such shall be the peace of Gods Elect in that world And as this peace of theirs shall be great for variety so it shall be great for excellency in as much as the excellency of it shall far surpass all that we can now in our mortal condition think or speak of it And if there be any peace of God out of God belonging to any creature which passeth all understanding as it should seem there is Phil. 4. 7. surely this shall be such a peace And who knows not that the peace of this world is more obvious to our present apprehension and understanding then that of the world to come 2. I affirm That this peace of theirs shall be abundant for measure and degree as it is promised They shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace Psal 37. 11. And God shall extend peace to them like a river Isai 66. 12. Which Promises shall perfectly be fulfilled not in this world but in that which is to come 3. I affirm That this peace of theirs shall be perfect without defect as the Prophet assures us when he saith unto God Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose minde is stayed on thee Isa 26. 3. The best peace which can be had in this world may be in some respect defective but in that which is to come the peace of Gods chosen shall be in nothing defective but they shall have so much of it as their hearts can wish or desire to have 4. I affirm That this peace of theirs shall be everlasting without end For which cause it is said That God shall keep them in perfect peace in the former place Isai 26. 3. without any limitation of time to intimate That he shall keep them in this peace for ever And the Covenant of peace which he hath made with his chosen is called an everlasting Covenant Ezek. 37. 26. And if this Covenant be everlasting then surely the peace which they shall enjoy by virtue of this Covenant shall be everlasting too And so we have seen the nature of this peace As touching the Certainty of it I aver it for a most certain truth That Gods Elect shall have peace in the world to come such a peace as hath been described as may be proved by these Arguments 1. They that shall be perfectly reconciled to God in the world to come shall have perfect peace in that
