Now that it is said here, they had forty years peace after this subduing 1of the Midianites, it was a great benefit that God bestowed upon them: and so all that enjoy it, or a great part of it, shall see cause to say, if they read and consider the bondage and woe that men are in to enemies and strangers. 2Therefore we should carefully look what good may be done in such times 3of liberty and freedom from great disturbance, especially that when we have generally peace in the land, there be no private breaches with neighbours at home, nor in family; but a quiet life with both; and the peace of a good conscience to Godward, chiefly and above all things procured. Look of this at large in chap. 5. and elsewhere.
