our_o inferior_a faculty_n be_v under_o the_o empire_n and_o conduct_n of_o reason_n this_o proceed_v also_o from_o god_n for_o since_o the_o fall_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o tumult_n many_o riot_n and_o disorder_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n reason_n hate_v a_o bad_a guide_n and_o our_o appetite_n those_o be_v evil_a instrument_n and_o do_v many_o time_n hurry_v reason_n from_o its_o regular_a act_n but_o 4_o much_o more_o if_o you_o consider_v spiritual_a peace_n that_o peace_n do_v not_o only_o import_v a_o agreement_n of_o a_o man_n within_o himself_o but_o the_o agreement_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o god_n this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v only_a god_n that_o be_v able_a to_o convey_v this_o peace_n to_o we_o and_o upon_o a_o particular_a account_n this_o title_n be_v give_v to_o he_o by_o way_n of_o eminency_n and_o propriety_n as_o 1_o he_o be_v alone_o able_a to_o allow_v and_o dispense_v this_o peace_n to_o we_o for_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v injury_n commit_v against_o he_o against_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n all_o the_o arrest_n of_o conscience_n be_v make_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v only_o he_o that_o can_v speak_v peace_n as_o in_o the_o civil_a state_n it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o supremacy_n to_o give_v a_o pardon_n only_o he_o that_o can_v condemn_v be_v able_a to_o speak_v a_o pardon_n so_o it_o be_v that_o god_n that_o be_v our_o judge_n provoke_v and_o incense_v by_o we_o he_o that_o have_v a_o judicial_a power_n to_o cast_v body_n and_o soul_n into_o hellfire_n be_v alone_o able_a to_o speak_v peace_n and_o pass_v a_o pardon_n for_o we_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n and_o this_o be_v experience_v by_o a_o wound_a spirit_n it_o be_v just_a with_o such_o a_o

to_o he_o so_o if_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n shall_v come_v and_o speak_v to_o a_o wound_a spirit_n it_o be_v impossible_a unless_o god_n do_v order_n command_n and_o dispense_v it_o that_o the_o

in_o the_o world_n than_o to_o calm_v and_o quiet_a a_o disturb_a conscience_n it_o must_v be_v the_o same_o power_n that_o make_v light_a to_o spring_v out_o of_o darkness_n that_o must_v cause_v a_o

the_o most_o among_o we_o cheat_v themselves_o with_o presumption_n instead_o of_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o security_n instead_o of_o peace_n with_o conscience_n but_o that_o peace_n which_o be_v solid_a and_o true_a can_v only_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n himself_o we_o have_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o in_o david_n psal._n 51_o although_o nathan_n have_v tell_v he_o from_o god_n thy_o sin_n

to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v cause_v he_o to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o pardon_n and_o reconciliation_n for_o his_o soul_n can_v not_o be_v quiet_a by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o prophet_n there_o be_v so_o much_o infidelity_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o take_v a_o view_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o all_o their_o bloody_a aggravation_n only_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n himself_o be_v able_a to_o allay_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o conscience_n and_o this_o he_o do_v by_o a_o overpower_a light_n when_o he_o do_v in_o a_o imperative_fw-it and_o command_a manner_n silence_v all_o the_o doubt_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o establish_v it_o in_o peace_n with_o god_n certain_o he_o that_o shall_v but_o consider_v the_o terror_n the_o faint_n the_o paleness_n of_o a_o wound_a conscience_n when_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o person_n dis-relish_a all_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n upon_o this_o account_n fear_v lest_o god_n be_v his_o enemy_n when_o all_o discourse_n that_o be_v address_v to_o he_o be_v ineffectual_a and_o but_o like_o warm_a cloth_n to_o a_o dead_a carcase_n can_v inspire_v any_o heat_n into_o he_o oh_o this_o show_v only_a god_n be_v able_a to_o

accuse_a conscienee_n conscience_n be_v a_o very_a devil_n than_o the_o devil_n himself_o and_o able_a more_o to_o torment_v and_o lash_v the_o creature_n therefore_o if_o that_o be_v once_o awaken_v it_o be_v only_a god_n to_o who_o tribunal_n conscience_n be_v liable_a which_o be_v able_a to_o speak_v peace_n to_o the_o soul._n now_o you_o see_v in_o what_o respect_n this_o title_n the_o god_n of_o peace_n be_v attribute_v to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o author_n and_o worker_n of_o it_o 2._o as_o he_o love_v and_o delight_n in_o peace_n this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v so_o please_v to_o

to_o be_v his_o child_n to_o be_v ally_v to_o he_o god_n he_o only_o delight_v in_o the_o reflection_n of_o his_o own_o image_n for_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o admire_v in_o the_o world_n and_o delight_n in_o do_v not_o affect_v his_o heart_n he_o delight_v not_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o horse_n he_o take_v not_o pleasure_n in_o the_o leg_n of_o a_o man_n the_o lord_n take_v

therefore_o where_o he_o see_v peaceable_a disposition_n this_o be_v that_o which_o indear_v the_o soul_n to_o he_o and_o make_v it_o amiable_a in_o his_o eye_n you_o may_v judge_v of_o his_o delight_n in_o peace_n by_o this_o it_o be_v that_o grace_n which_o in_o a_o especial_a manner_n prepare_v we_o for_o communion_n with_o he_o for_o we_o can_v never_o real_o honour_n nor_o enjoy_v he_o unless_o we_o bring_v to_o he_o those_o disposition_n which_o if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v be_v in_o himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o those_o have_v little_a peace_n of_o conscience_n who_o make_v so_o little_a conscience_n of_o peace_n you_o know_v when_o god_n appear_v to_o eliah_n he_o do_v not_o appear_v in_o the_o storm_n nor_o in_o the_o fire_n but_o in_o the_o small_a still_a voice_n and_o when_o elisha_n be_v transport_v with_o anger_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o allay_v that_o passion_n by_o music_n that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v prepare_v for_o the_o holy_a motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o call_v for_o a_o instrument_n and_o then_o the_o spirit_n move_v in_o he_o i_o bring_v it_o for_o this_o end_n to_o show_v how_o god_n delight_v in_o peace_n and_o he_o will_v only_o maintain_v communion_n with_o those_o that_o be_v of_o calm_a and_o peaceable_a spirit_n so_o much_o way_n as_o we_o give_v to_o rash_a anger_n so_o much_o proportionable_o do_v we_o let_v in_o the_o devil_n and_o cast_v out_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o this_o title_n be_v give_v to_o god_n be_v upon_o a_o double_a account_n partly_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n which_o make_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o we_o partly_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o covenant_n itself_o which_o be_v found_v in_o that_o

you_o shall_v read_v therefore_o when_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v say_v luke_o 2._o 14._o that_o the_o heavenly_a host_n appear_v and_o sing_v glory_n to_o god_n in_o the_o high_a
