of the first Chapter The Syriack reads this Text thus Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts He is our peace saith the Prophet Micah 5. 5. and this man shall be the peace when the Assyrian shall tread in our land The Prophet Isaiah calls him the Prince of peace Isa 9. 6. as typified by Melchisedeck King of Shalem the true King of peace as the Apostle renders his Royal Titles first beng by interpretation King of righteousness and after that also King of Salem which is King of peace Heb. 7. 2. and well may he deserve that honourable Title For he is our peace saith the Apostle to the Ephesians Ephes 2. 14. Who hath made both one and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us between Jews and Gentiles and between our God and us having made peace through the blood of his Cross saith he in the First Chapter of his Epistle and 20th verse He is our Peace-maker with God Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ Rom. 5. 1. At his Birth all the Militia of Heaven sang this joyful Ditty in a Proclamation of Peace Glory to God in the highest peace on earth good will towards men Luke 2 14. At his Death he left us a Legacy of peace My peace I leave with you my peace I give unto you not as the world giveth I give unto you John 14. 27. 4. God the Holy Ghost the third Person of the glorious Trinity is the God of peace the Spirit of peace and love And the very God of peace sanctifie you wholly the conclusion of the First Epistle to the Thessalonians ch 5. ver 23. He is the Sanctifier of all the Elect people of God The excellent fruits of this God of peace are set down by the Apostle to the Galatians But the fruits of the Spirit are love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness temperance against such there is no law Gal. 5. 22. And because the God head and Consubstantiality of the Son with the Father is by all this discourse approved and that also of the Holy Ghost I will conclude this Point after the phrase of the Athanasian Creed The Father is the God of peace the Son is the God of peace and the Holy Ghost is the God of peace and yet they are not three Gods of peace but one God of peace And with that Prayer wherewith the Apostle concludes his Second Epistle to the Thessalonians which includes all this Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means the Lord be with you all 2 Thess 3. v. 16. Observ 4. In the brief Application of this Point before I proceed any further let us observe for our Instruction That this is a close Argument to perswade the more to permit this Peace to hold the Mastery in us because it is God's and so indeed God shall rule in our hearts by his peace The name of the King's Peace is of no small weight as to repress the Outrage of the Unruly It ought to be at least when the Officer cries I charge you in the King's Name to keep the King's Peace God's Sacred Name is greater that is King of Kings and Lord of Lords the greater their Sin that break his Peace at once offending God and the King Exhort Let us not say then we will not have his Peace rule in our hearts as those Ill-bred Citizens that hated their Noble Lord and sent a Message after him saying We will not have this man to rule over us Luke 19. 14. but rather as the men of Israel said to Gideon Rule thou over us both thou and thy son and thy son's son also for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian Judg. 8. 22. And hath made peace in our borders as the Psalmist sings Psalm 147. 14. Let every one of us say with him again and again I will hearken what God the Lord will speak for he will speak peace unto his people c. Psal 85. 8. To the which also ye are called in one body Now to the Apostle's Reasons why this Peace of God should rule in our hearts which are two First God's calling Ye are called to peace For the meaning whereof it is as much as to say As God when he severe you from the World would lay this task upon you to have peace rule in you for this was the Prophecy of Isaiah concerning the times of the Gospel that cruel and savage Beasts should lay down their fierceness Lions Wolves Serpents learn other manners and become at unity with Lambs Oxen Children c. This purpose of God you must become Instruments to bring to pass The Wolf also shall dwell with the Lamb and the Leopard shall lye down with the Kid the Calf and the young Lion and the Fatling together and a little Child shall lead them and the Cow and the Bear shall feed their young ones shall lye down together and the Lion shall eat Straw like the Ox and the sucking Child shall play on the hole of the Asp and the weaned child shall put his hand on the Cookatrice den they shall not hunt nor destroy in all my holy mountain For the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea Isa 11. 6 7 8. A great shame for a Minister of outward peace to break the peace A Justice who is the Conservator of the Peace or a Constable who is sworn to see the Peace kent to be a Fighter or maker of Frays Penal it is in a high degree when a man is bound to the Peace to be a Striker So it is surely a shame and a just cause of shame when a Christian who by his Calling is bound to the Peace to be a Quarreller Make-bate Ranter c. Christianus contentiosus was one of the greatest Paradoxes and Scandals in the Primitive Church The Apostle Paul in the Sixth Chapter of his First Epistle to the Corinths reproves the Corinthians for their breach of God's Peace that ought to rule in their hearts for Lawing one with another before Heathen Judges when there was not so much as a Christian Constable in the World which Fault having very sharply reproved and told them of another course by Arbitrement even of the meanest of the Church if there were no other wise or able man amongthem He presseth so far as to say They ought rather to suffer wrong whereas they wronged their Brethren whereupon endeavouring to remedy this matter in the root he appeals to their knowledge if Injustice as many other Sins did not exclude from the inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven yes he avouches it and so falling off into a more gentle manner he tells them roundly what they were sometimes but now by the Grace of God otherwise he leaves it to be esteemed then that to those things they ought not to return again that are inconsistent with this Evangelical
