comfort_n flow_v viz._n the_o grace_n of_o peaceableness_n wherein_o we_o consult_v the_o quiet_a of_o other_o man_n as_o well_o as_o our_o own_o and_o live_v in_o a_o undisturbed_a union_n with_o they_o which_o be_v a_o grace_n compound_v of_o several_a other_o grace_n principal_o humility_n and_o kindness_n meekness_n and_o patience_n the_o two_o first_o of_o which_o humility_n and_o kindness_n dispose_v we_o to_o avoid_v the_o give_v any_o offence_n to_o other_o and_o the_o two_o last_o meekness_n and_o patience_n dispose_v we_o to_o pass_v by_o the_o offence_n that_o other_o give_v to_o we_o by_o which_o mean_v peace_n be_v both_o make_v and_o maintain_v both_o in_o private_a and_o public_a in_o civil_a and_o christian_a society_n for_o peace_n be_v that_o grace_n which_o preserve_v we_o from_o variance_n with_o our_o neighbour_n and_o clash_v one_o against_o another_o to_o the_o great_a prejudice_n of_o all_o society_n it_o teach_v we_o as_o i_o say_v to_o avoid_v all_o those_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v offend_v other_o man_n and_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o in_o such_o good_a temper_n as_o not_o to_o be_v too_o much_o offend_v at_o those_o thing_n whereby_o they_o give_v disgust_v to_o we_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o cause_n all_o variance_n and_o make_v all_o the_o breach_n that_o be_v among_o neighbour_n the_o offence_n which_o be_v either_o give_v or_o take_v which_o peace_n instruct_v we_o equal_o to_o shun_v and_o be_v itself_o instruct_v by_o humility_n and_o kindness_n to_o shun_v the_o give_v any_o and_o by_o meekness_n and_o patience_n to_o shun_v the_o take_v any_o offence_n when_o they_o be_v give_v it_o be_v ill-natured_a pride_n and_o insolence_n which_o make_v man_n give_v trouble_n and_o disturbance_n unto_o those_o who_o will_v live_v quiet_o with_o they_o and_o it_o be_v too_o much_o passion_n and_o impatience_n which_o make_v other_o unable_a to_o bear_v with_o such_o provocation_n both_o must_v be_v amend_v before_o we_o can_v come_v into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n the_o first_o by_o humble_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o and_o by_o be_v kind_o affection_a one_o to_o another_o in_o brotherly_a love_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v the_o second_o by_o meek_a put_v up_o injury_n by_o forbearance_n and_o patient_a suffer_v the_o insolent_a folly_n of_o abusive_a person_n these_o two_o put_v we_o into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n and_o will_v keep_v we_o in_o it_o either_o by_o prevent_v difference_n or_o by_o compose_v they_o for_o difference_n there_o will_v be_v and_o my_o text_n suppose_v as_o much_o as_o long_o as_o man_n apprehension_n of_o thing_n be_v very_o various_a yet_o they_o may_v be_v without_o the_o breach_n of_o peace_n which_o do_v not_o hinder_v all_o manner_n of_o difference_n but_o only_o compose_v they_o by_o a_o overrule_a hand_n as_o you_o shall_v hear_v present_o when_o i_o have_v give_v a_o short_a account_n of_o the_o second_o thing_n under_o this_o head._n which_o be_v the_o excellence_n of_o this_o grace_n here_o call_v ii_o ii_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v a_o divine_a quality_n of_o which_o god_n be_v the_o author_n who_o work_v it_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o true_a christian_n as_o a_o part_n of_o his_o own_o image_n which_o he_o dear_o love_v and_o wherein_o he_o exceed_o delight_v in_o all_o these_o regard_n it_o be_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n because_o it_o spring_v from_o he_o and_o be_v a_o communication_n of_o his_o own_o divine_a nature_n which_o render_v we_o very_o like_o he_o and_o make_v we_o high_o belove_v of_o he_o who_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a be_v and_o delight_n in_o this_o name_n the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o love._n for_o in_o his_o most_o bless_a nature_n there_o be_v no_o discord_n nor_o dissension_n but_o all_o the_o three_o person_n perfect_o agree_v and_o entire_o accord_v be_v external_o unite_v in_o the_o same_o will_n as_o well_o as_o essence_n unto_o which_o pattern_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n tell_v his_o apostle_n god_n intend_v to_o form_v their_o mind_n that_o they_o all_o may_v be_v one_o as_o he_o and_o the_o father_n be_v one_o joh._n xvii_o 21._o and_o the_o apostle_n endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o same_o happy_a accord_n among_o all_o christian_n that_o they_o may_v all_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o division_n among_o they_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v perfect_o join_v together_o in_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o in_o the_o same_o judgement_n 1_o cor._n i_o 10._o and_o when_o we_o be_v thus_o join_v together_o in_o peace_n and_o love_n then_o be_v we_o perfect_a man_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o a_o singular_a manner_n belove_v of_o god_n unto_o who_o nothing_o be_v so_o grateful_a as_o this_o whereby_o we_o make_v the_o near_a approach_n unto_o his_o divine_a nature_n by_o this_o small_a touch_n i_o have_v give_v upon_o this_o subject_a which_o i_o have_v not_o room_n to_o prosecute_v you_o can_v but_o see_v there_o be_v the_o great_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o admit_v this_o heavenly_a guest_n into_o our_o heart_n but_o let_v they_o be_v absolute_o govern_v by_o it_o which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n the_o authority_n it_o ought_v to_o have_v over_o we_o which_o iii_o iii_o shall_v be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o command_v and_o have_v the_o dominion_n of_o all_o other_o affection_n that_o stir_v in_o our_o soul_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n rule_n in_o your_o heart_n the_o word_n in_o the_o greek_a for_o rule_n relate_v to_o contest_v and_o controversy_n in_o which_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o interpose_v so_o powerful_o as_o to_o quiet_v they_o that_o they_o give_v no_o disturbance_n to_o the_o christian_a society_n so_o the_o word_n may_v literal_o be_v translate_v let_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n be_v umpire_n in_o you_o that_o be_v when_o any_o dispute_n arise_v about_o which_o you_o can_v agree_v but_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o fall_v into_o party_n and_o break_v in_o piece_n then_o refer_v all_o unto_o peace_n as_o you_o do_v your_o difference_n to_o a_o arbitrator_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v let_v that_o be_v conclude_v which_o will_v make_v most_o for_o peace_n let_v it_o determine_v every_o controversy_n moderate_a in_o all_o difference_n be_v instead_o of_o a_o judge_n to_o decide_v and_o settle_v all_o thing_n in_o dispute_n which_o will_v soon_o be_v at_o a_o end_n if_o you_o do_v but_o think_v with_o yourselves_o what_o will_v make_v most_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n or_o the_o kingdom_n where_o you_o live_v and_o resolve_v to_o let_v that_o prevail_v in_o order_n unto_o which_o we_o must_v let_v it_o quell_v all_o those_o unruly_a passion_n which_o upon_o such_o occasion_n be_v wont_a to_o rise_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n anger_n may_v begin_v to_o boil_v pride_n and_o ambition_n to_o swell_v self-love_n and_o interest_n to_o make_v a_o bustle_n and_o bestir_v themselves_o but_o then_o the_o love_n of_o peace_n and_o quietness_n ought_v to_o get_v uppermost_a and_o bear_v the_o great_a sway_n in_o our_o heart_n so_o as_o to_o over-rule_v and_o keep_v down_o all_o other_o affection_n which_o will_v be_v trouble_v we_o
