wealth when one
breaketh
the
peace, fo
it
is
a
(tine
in
the
ipirit to
break the
peace
of
confcience
;
we
are
all
bound
to
the peace
.

If
the
children
of
God
have
it
not
al_
wayes,
then
they
feel
the
want
of
it
;
and
in
the
want
of
that
comfort nothing
elfe will
comfort
them.
It
is
not
all
the
peace
and
profperity
of
the
world
that
can
comfort
their hearts
as
long
as
they
have
not
this peace
;
not
all
the
mirth
in
the
world
can
content
them
until'
they enjoy this
peace
again,
the peace
and
quiet
of
a
good
confcience;they faint
for ir,and.longafter-it,
they can
have
no
ftrength without it;7heLord
Will
give
flrength
unto
his
people;the
Lord
will
bleffe his people With
peace,
It
is
not
fo
with
corrupt
hearts;
they can
be
without
peace, and yet never
faint;they
can
eat and
drink for
all
that,
& fleep
&
be
merry
for
all
that,
yea
&
go about
their
profits and their earthly
bufinefles
as
roundly
as
ever
for
all
that;
But
the children
of
God if
they
want
the
peace
of
confcience, they
have
no ftrength
to
do any
thing
almoft,they
faint
til they have
it again.4The godly always
have the feeds
of
it
in
them
;
Light
is
fown
for
the
righteoru,
etndgladneffe
for
the
upright
in
heart, Mark
;
it
is
fown
in
their
hearts,
and it will fpring
up
at
one
time
or
other to
chear
them
and to
comfort
them.
As
it
is
with the
wicked
;
they
may feem
now
and
then
to
have
true peace, but they have
the
feeds
of
horrour
al
wayes in
them,
which
will
fprout
forth
at
Taft,
and
then they
(hall
find
the
worm
of
an evil confcience
again;
fo»
on the
contrary
fide,
the godly
may
feem
now
and
then
to
have
no
peace, but yet
they
have aiwayes the
feeds
of
true
peace
in
them,
which will
in
time (hew themfelves, and folace
their
fouls
for
ever.

They
never
want
peace
as
the
wicked
do want
it,
The
wicked
want it,
and have no
poíbi'ity
of
having
it
;
they
go
in
fuch paths
as
wherein
they (hall -never
loom peace,
fuch
paths
as
will
never
lead them unto
it
;
í}i11
their
confcience
is
able
to
fay,
they
are
not right,
they
are
carnali and
not
fpiritu-
ali;
they know no
true
peace
of
confcience,
neither
can
they
But
the
children of
God
walk
in
fuch
wayes
as
will bring them
to
true
peace
of
confcience ere they
have
done.
By
this you
feewhat
a
good
and
quiet
confcience
'is.
