peace_n when_o we_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o chief_o we_o have_v great_a peace_n when_o we_o obey_v and_o do_v according_a to_o that_o teach_v of_o his_o and_o so_o we_o hear_v his_o love_a kindness_n when_o he_o cause_v we_o to_o know_v the_o way_n wherein_o we_o shall_v walk_v from_o whence_o observe_v again_o that_o when_o our_o spirit_n be_v dissatisfy_v restless_a and_o troublesome_a it_o be_v a_o certain_a sign_n either_o of_o some_o gild_n appear_v forth_o in_o they_o or_o we_o be_v not_o conversant_a about_o and_o employ_v in_o what_o we_o ought_v again_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n as_o we_o can_v prove_v our_o own_o work_n and_o then_o find_v rejoice_v in_o ourselves_o and_o not_o in_o another_o gal._n 6._o 4._o this_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o evidence_n that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o right_a work_n the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o this_o manner_n unto_o some_o to_o who_o he_o write_v the_o god_n of_o hope_n fill_v you_o with_o all_o joy_n and_o peace_n in_o believe_v so_o the_o same_o god_n of_o peace_n fill_v people_n with_o peace_n in_o do_v his_o will_n which_o same_o peace_n he_o deny_v they_o again_o as_o they_o neglect_v the_o do_n of_o his_o will._n i_o have_v experience_v much_o of_o this_o last_o myself_o and_o by_o the_o horror_n and_o accuse_n of_o my_o own_o conscience_n herein_o i_o can_v somewhat_o guess_v and_o apprehend_v beforehand_o what_o will_v be_v the_o pain_n of_o loss_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n the_o sun_n rejoice_v as_o a_o strong_a man_n to_o run_v a_o race_n psal_n 19_o 5._o so_o there_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n in_o all_o the_o create_v being_n to_o move_v and_o act_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n law_n and_o will_n of_o their_o creator_n and_o again_o when_o they_o do_v not_o they_o be_v out_o of_o their_o element_n and_o then_o there_o be_v trouble_v doubt_v and_o disquiet_v as_o god_n ask_v the_o question_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o false_a and_o idolatrous_a worshipper_n among_o the_o jew_n shall_v i_o receive_v comfort_n in_o these_o isa_n 57_o 6._o so_o it_o may_v be_v conceive_v and_o judge_v of_o beforehand_o as_o to_o our_o several_a act_n of_o religion_n according_a as_o we_o find_v and_o receive_v comfort_n in_o they_o so_o it_o be_v a_o forego_v sign_n of_o god_n acceptance_n of_o they_o for_o as_o the_o jewish_a worshipper_n do_v hereby_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n receive_v a_o burnt-offering_a and_o a_o meat-offering_a at_o their_o hand_n if_o the_o fire_n do_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o consume_v and_o sacrifice_n and_o when_o he_o do_v show_v we_o all_o these_o thing_n judge_n 13._o 23._o so_o even_o then_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v and_o also_o under_o the_o gospel_n that_o god_n do_v remember_v all_o our_o offering_n and_o accept_v our_o burnt-sacrifice_n and_o so_o what_o we_o do_v as_o pertain_v to_o religion_n and_o worship_n if_o thereupon_o god_n do_v immediate_o give_v we_o the_o chief_a thing_n of_o the_o last_a mountain_n and_o the_o precious_a thing_n of_o the_o last_a hill_n deut._n 33._o 15._o that_o earnest_n and_o glimpse_n of_o future_a glory_n i_o mean_v that_o peace_n and_o joy_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n and_o afterward_o also_o wherein_o we_o be_v serve_v he_o this_o again_o be_v to_o be_v difference_v from_o that_o fond_a exultancy_n of_o spirit_n and_o complacency_n of_o mind_n which_o the_o false_a and_o formal_a worshipper_n may_v sometime_o have_v in_o that_o in_o his_o own_o imagination_n he_o have_v do_v something_o for_o god_n and_o for_o his_o own_o soul_n like_a unto_o micah_n who_o say_v now_o know_v i_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v i_o good_a see_v i_o have_v a_o levite_n to_o my_o priest_n judges_z 17._o 13._o which_o yet_o be_v but_o a_o false_a conceit_n of_o his_o own_o for_o as_o may_v be_v understand_v from_o verse_n 5._o he_o be_v a_o idolater_n and_o let_v not_o such_o a_o one_o or_o any_o other_o false_a worshipper_n think_v that_o he_o shall_v receive_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o lord_n as_o to_o the_o future_a recompense_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o such_o only_a who_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n but_o when_o we_o receive_v comfort_n in_o our_o holy_a thing_n and_o in_o our_o religious_a performance_n upon_o some_o true_a and_o assure_a ground_n out_o of_o god_n word_n this_o be_v a_o evidence_n and_o sign_n beforehand_o of_o our_o salvation_n and_o that_o our_o religion_n be_v a_o religion_n to_o the_o save_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o again_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n when_o we_o do_v not_o receive_v comfort_n in_o our_o religion_n but_o we_o perform_v it_o in_o a_o way_n of_o drudgery_n and_o task_n here_o we_o may_v suspect_v our_o course_n that_o as_o such_o people_n do_v not_o receive_v true_a comfort_n in_o the_o act_n of_o their_o religion_n so_o the_o great_a god_n unto_o who_o it_o do_v all_o relate_v and_o terminate_v do_v not_o receive_v comfort_n in_o they_o neither_o will_v they_o receive_v benefit_n thereof_o hereafter_o either_o such_o do_v not_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n or_o there_o be_v sin_n and_o iniquity_n in_o the_o worshipper_n god_n hear_v not_o sinner_n if_o i_o regard_v iniquity_n in_o my_o heart_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hear_v i_o or_o they_o do_v not_o
