4And then there is a division, and separation between a man and the creature, which is ready to be in arms against any man that is in the state of nature, to take Gods quarrel, as we see in the plagues of Egypt, and other examples; if God do but give them leave, they presently make an end of sinful man, and they would glory in it too, to serve their Creator, it is part of their vanity to be subject to wicked men; they have no peace with the creature.

5And they have no peace with themselves, they speak peace to themselves, but alas God speaks none to them, they make a Covenant with death and hell, but death and hell make no Covenant with them, so it is a forced sleepy peace, it is a dead sleep, the peace they have, it is but ad•ersion to other things, they […] selves, and the war the[…] themselves, and […] ⟨p. 255⟩••uce that they take up for a time; when God opens their conscience, there is a hell in their hearts and souls, that when it is loosed, makes them to suffer a hell upon earth, they enter into the pains of hell before their time, so there is no peace to the wicked at all, there is since the fall, a separation between God and man, between Angels and man, between man and the creatures, between man and himself.
