the_o first_o peace_n be_v of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o other_o be_v of_o god_n as_o for_o example_n similitude_n a_o similitude_n if_o a_o city_n be_v beséege_v it_o may_v have_v peace_n if_o the_o

the_o greatness_n of_o the_o pain_n and_o labour_n only_o he_o feel_v some_o light_a taste_n thereof_o when_o he_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o end_n but_o in_o martyr_n the_o spirit_n do_v then_o most_o of_o all_o shine_n and_o be_v of_o force_n now_o than_o the_o peace_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o remove_v outward_a thing_n but_o it_o appease_v the_o mind_n and_o reconcile_v it_o unto_o god_n it_o lighten_v the_o understanding_n strengthen_v the_o will_n and_o pacifi_v the_o conscience_n and_o make_v sure_o the_o hope_n that_o these_o thing_n shall_v once_o have_v a_o end_n and_o that_o they_o can_v never_o do_v we_o hurt_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o tribulation_n it_o make_v we_o quiet_a and_o calm_a it_o change_v not_o the_o thing_n but_o the_o man_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n for_o we_o perceive_v that_o christ_n our_o mediator_n be_v with_o we_o and_o that_o by_o he_o we_o please_v god_n wherefore_o it_o do_v no_o hurt_n this_o be_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n because_o only_a

when_o we_o apprehend_v christ_n by_o faith_n nothing_o can_v hurt_v we_o that_o be_v join_v to_o he_o but_o we_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v my_o strength_n 118._o psal_n 27._o 3._o psal_n 118._o i_o
