as_o the_o world_n give_v the_o world_n give_v peace_n say_v he_o by_o take_v away_o affliction_n from_o a_o trouble_a person_n but_o christ_n give_v peace_n by_o take_v away_o a_o trouble_a person_n from_o affliction_n his_o meaning_n be_v this_o the_o world_n way_n to_o give_v peace_n be_v to_o take_v away_o trouble_v from_o we_o but_o the_o way_n that_o christ_n have_v be_v to_o take_v the_o

man_n heart_n now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_a peace_n when_o the_o trouble_n of_o our_o heart_n be_v take_v away_o though_o the_o affliction_n continue_v rather_o than_o when_o the_o affliction_n be_v take_v away_o and_o trouble_v of_o heart_n continue_v i_o give_v peace_n not_o as_o the_o world_n give_v peace_n it_o be_v inward_a peace_n the_o world_n be_v outward_a the_o world_n take_v away_o some_o trouble_n but_o i_o take_v away_o the_o very_a root_n of_o all_o trouble_n the_o branch_n be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v whereas_o you_o have_v not_o trade_v before_o nor_o the_o freedom_n of_o your_o estate_n before_o you_o shall_v have_v that_o now_o but_o the_o root_n of_o all_o your_o trouble_n the_o world_n can_v take_v away_o that_o be_v sin_n but_o i_o take_v away_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o trouble_n we_o may_v through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o armles_a parliament_n we_o may_v come_v to_o have_v outward_a peace_n that_o be_v freedom_n from_o outward_a trouble_n oh_o but_o there_o may_v be_v vexation_n and_o trouble_n in_o our_o spirit_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n but_o christ_n peace_n be_v especial_o in_o the_o conscience_n and_o heart_n within_o door_n we_o may_v have_v peace_n here_o mix_v with_o abundance_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n it_o may_v be_v procure_v in_o a_o sinful_a way_n or_o it_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o much_o sin_n but_o my_o peace_n be_v a_o holy_a peace_n it_o do_v further_a holiness_n wheresoever_o i_o give_v it_o my_o peace_n be_v a_o last_a and_o a_o stable_a peace_n peace_n here_o may_v be_v but_o for_o a_o few_o month_n but_o my_o peace_n shall_v be_v eternal_o i_o give_v peace_n not_o as_o the_o world_n that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o truth_n be_v though_o there_o be_v many_o outward_a affliction_n attend_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n yet_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v always_o in_o

peace_n but_o here_o all_o the_o peace_n that_o man_n conscience_n have_v till_o they_o come_v under_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n it_o will_v turn_v to_o great_a trouble_n that_o peace_n they_o have_v and_o live_v loose_o not_o be_v subdue_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n will_v turn_v to_o horror_n and_o misery_n and_o so_o the_o joy_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o will_v turn_v to_o sorrow_n and_o vexation_n it_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thou_o may_v have_v joy_n in_o thy_o cup_n joy_n in_o thy_o dish_n joy_n in_o thy_o mirth_n and_o wicked_a company_n but_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n to_o bring_v joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a unto_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n

godly_a people_n be_v act_v by_o such_o and_o such_o principle_n that_o be_v mystery_n to_o carnal_a man_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o their_o life_n they_o can_v understand_v they_o they_o can_v

at_o all_o but_o mere_o upon_o scripture_n and_o such_o and_o such_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n and_o such_o principle_n wicked_a man_n have_v no_o skill_n in_o now_o the_o professor_n of_o

be_v many_o of_o these_o thing_n that_o carnal_a man_n understand_v not_o for_o they_o take_v no_o pain_n to_o search_v into_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o will_v be_v angry_a with_o you_o for_o
