§. 92. Of warre kept out of a land.
V. IT is a blessing to have war kept out of a land. War being a cause of many evils, to have war kept out, is to be freed from those many evils. This is that case, whereof the Psalmist thus saith, aHappy is that people that is in such a case. This was the happiness of Solomons reign; for, bGod gave him rest from all his enemies round about. As a blessing on Jehoshaphat and his kingdom, it is recorded, that, cThe fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdom of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
