Therefore this should strike an awe in us of God,1 with a care to please him: For, there is not the wisest man in the world, but if he remove his guard from his soul, and leave him to himself; if there were no Devil in hell, yet he would make him his own tormentor and executioner. Therefore the Apostle makes this sweet promise, Phil. 4. 7. He bids them pray to God; And the •eace of God which […] all […] [guard] the•• souls, &c. So the word is in the original. It is a great matter for the •eeping of Gods people, ⟨p. 268⟩to have their souls guarded.
