To make your hearts stable and unblameable. That nothing move you or trouble you• that your hearts and consciences be quiet: that you may stand upright, and show your lelues in great confidence before his judgement seat: that when you shall see Gods hand stretched out, & his plagues prepared against the wicked, you be not afraid. This is the haven of rest, whereto no man cometh but he that hath a quiet conscience, this is the tabernacle of the highest, wherein they shall dwell, this is the holy mountain, wherein they shall rest, that walk uprightly, and work righteousness, and speak the truth in their heart.
