Why
Peace
-
makers
j7
dii
be
called
the
children
of
,God,
able Spirit, of
a
loving Spirit, of
a
Spirit
of
kïndnefle,
now
peace
-
makers
they
thew themf
elves
to
be
of
the
fame
ipirit
thatGod
is
of,
and
fo
being
fo
like
God,
are
faid
to
be
the
children of
God
;
As
thofe
that are
like
the Devil
are laid
to
be
the
children ofthe Devil,
fo
thofe that
are like
God,
the
children
of
God,
And
further,
As by
their
peace
-
making
they
fliew
them-
lelves like to
God,
fo by
being the
Sons
of
God
they
come to
make
peace,
as
thus, they
look upon
their
father that
is
.a
(;
od
of peace,
and
this
moves
them to peace,
and
the fweet fariifac-
tion that
their
fouls
have in
the Fatherly
love
of God,
in
thofe
pliviledges they
injoy
as
the children
of
God
;I lay, -that
tweet
t
a
tisfaelion
that
they
have in
this,
it
makes
them
to
be
of
peaceable
difpofitions,
there's
nothing
makes
a
man
or woman
.
to
be of,a peaceable difpófition, more then when they
find fa-
tisfa&ion within
their
own
hearts.
As now, for
inflance,
Sup
pofe
a
Merchant that hears of
a
rich
Ship
that's.come
home
from
the
Indies,
wherein
he hath
a
great venter,
I
but
now
when
he
comes home perhaps
his children be unroward;
and
his wife not
in
any
good
temper,
yet
he
bath
fó
much
fatisfa-
¿
iön
within,
in his own
fpirit, that
you
will
not
have him rea
dily
angry
then,
becaufe he
is
fo
comforted
with
what
News
he hath
heard
concerning
his
eflate,
he
will
bare with
an
hun-
dred
things in
that
family
at that
time;but
let the
fame
manar
another time go
abroad and
meet
with croffes, and hear
of
ill
News
abroad, he comes
difcontented home,
and
he
is
froward
with every body
then,
and
ready
to
fly
upon fervants and
children,
and
the ground is,
for
want
of
fa
isfa
&ion
within
in
his own
fpirit,
certainly this
is
the
caufe
of
much
wrangling
and
contention
in mens fpirirs, they have force guiltineffe
within,
and
have not fatisfaétion within,
in
their hearts
,
But
now
thofe that
are
the children
of
God,
that
know
God
robe
their
father,
and
envoy
thofe
fweet
and
blefred
priviledges of
Gods
children, They
find
fo
rtaidrfatisfaélion
within,
in
their
awn hearts, as
let
the
world
do what they iil,
for
the world
mufl
be
the world,
and
wicked
men mull be wicked
men,
let
them
go
on
in
their
way,
let
me
indeed
pray
for
them,
and
mourn
