Dulce

pacis.
Sweet and pleafant
is
the
very
name
of
peace,
efpecïally
of
the
peace
of
a
good
confcience;
If
ye
have
it,
no

you miferable;
and
if
you
have it
not,
no
happineffe can make you
happy.

III.
Examination, Whether
we
have
a
quiet
confcience.
COricerning
a
quiet confcience
I
propounded three things
:
r
,
What
it
is ;
2.
How
it differeth
from that
quiet
con-
fcience
that
is
in
the
wicked
;
3.
The examination whether
we have this
quiet
confcience yea
or
no.
The
two
former we
have
bandied already
:
namly,
What
a
quiet
confcience
is;
and,
How
it
differeth
from that
quiet
confcience which
is
in
the
wicked. Let
us
paffe on
now unto
the
third,
namly,
to
an
examination
of
our
(elves
whether
we
have
a
true quiet
confci-
ence yea
or
no.
A
quiet
good
confcience
is fuch
a
marvellous bleffing
that
it
cannot
pofíible
be
but we
muff like
it and
with,
0
that
we
had
it. Let
us
then
examine
our
felves
and
tee
whether
we have
it
or
no. Many have
peace and
quietneffe
(as
hath
been
Chewed
already)
arifing
from
falle
grounds
:
they
have peace
of
con
-
fcience becaufe
they
know
not
what belongeth
to
trouble
of
confcience ;
or
if
they know
that
a
little
(as
fome
of
the
wick-
ed
