will_v answer_v for_o i_o to_o all_o the_o world_n if_o i_o do_v shine_v very_o bright_a in_o the_o gift_n of_o preach_v i_o shall_v i_o hope_v give_v a_o tolerable_a account_n of_o myself_o if_o at_o

improve_n i_o must_v confess_v withal_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o the_o advancement_n of_o reputation_n with_o the_o best_a judge_n get_v by_o this_o way_n of_o print_v sermon_n have_v of_o late_a year_n scarce_o compensated_a for_o the_o trouble_n while_o the_o great_a number_n of_o reader_n seek_v rather_o to_o exercise_v their_o own_o part_n than_o to_o add_v to_o '_o they_o they_o be_v not_o so_o severe_a upon_o the_o preacher_n as_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o publisher_n and_o therefore_o see_v man_n be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v what_o they_o be_v too_o ready_a to_o forget_v i_o think_v that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v content_v themselves_o with_o be_v general_o repute_v the_o best_a preacher_n in_o the_o world_n without_o give_v any_o

so_o that_o i_o have_v much_o rather_o you_o will_v have_v be_v prevail_v upon_o to_o excuse_v the_o omit_v this_o of_o which_o i_o fear_v i_o shall_v never_o forgive_v myself_o the_o do_v all_o that_o i_o can_v say_v for_o myself_o be_v that_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o decline_v any_o opportunity_n of_o show_v my_o respect_n to_o the_o county_n for_o have_v i_o no_o other_o obligation_n to_o it_o than_o the_o generous_a friendship_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o noble_a family_n at_o eastwell_n i_o shall_v think_v all_o my_o spare_a hour_n very_o well_o employ_v in_o express_v my_o

indeed_o the_o root_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o these_o put_v on_o charity_n now_o here_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n he_o recommend_v two_o other_o virtue_n which_o be_v inseparable_a from_o

property_n and_o office_n of_o it_o which_o be_v to_o rule_v and_o govern_v man_n heart_n let_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n rule_n in_o your_o heart_n the_o motive_n or_o inducement_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n will_v persuade_v we_o to_o it_o be_v these_o two_n in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o ordinance_n and_o appointment_n of_o god_n express_v in_o these_o word_n unto_o which_o you_o be_v call_v and_o second_o the_o mutual_a relation_n which_o we_o have_v one_o to_o another_o be_v all_o of_o we_o member_n in_o one_o body_n first_o then_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n call_v so_o because_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n love_n in_o our_o heart_n have_v atwofold_a meaning_n in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o it_o signify_v either_o that_o that_o inward_a peace_n which_o be_v the_o peace_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n or_o that_o peaceable_a inclination_n of_o goodwill_n to_o one_o another_o which_o by_o all_o the_o office_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n exert_v its_o self_n outward_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v compact_v between_o god_n almighty_a and_o the_o conscience_n of_o every_o particular_a person_n upon_o a_o firm_a lively_a and_o active_a faith_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o promise_v make_v through_o he_o to_o mankind_n with_o hearty_a repentance_n for_o offence_n past_a and_o firm_a resolution_n of_o amendment_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v have_v a_o lively_a hope_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o his_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n be_v make_v with_o god_n as_o rom._n 5.1_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v the_o peace_n which_o his_o son_n procure_v for_o we_o there_o have_v not_o be_v that_o love_n and_o agreement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n under_o the_o law_n we_o be_v then_o stranger_n and_o alien_n unto_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 3.13_o ept._n 3.13_o but_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o who_o sometime_o be_v far_o off_o be_v make_v nigh_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o be_v our_o peace_n but_o that_o peace_n which_o the_o apostle_n seem_v chief_o to_o aim_v at_o in_o this_o text_n be_v external_a in_o its_o operation_n when_o a_o habit_n of_o love_n and_o goodwill_n one_o towards_o another_o
