And if we have fallen into any sin, let us make use of our great peace-maker, Christ, who is in heaven to make peace between God and us, let us desire God for his sake, to be reconciled unto us, for God is in Christ, reconciling us unto him still, the fruit of Christs death remains still, let us desire him, to testify it unto us by his holy Spirit.

3And take that direction of the Apostle, in Philip. 4. When we find any trouble in the world, not to trouble our selves over-much:2 In nothing be careful, &c. No, shall we cast away all care? Cast your care upon God, let your requests be made known to God with thanksgiving, let your prayers be made to God, and let him have his tribute of thanksgiving, for what you have received already. What then? The peace of God that passeth all understanding, shall keep and preserve your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus: perhaps we shall not have what we p•ay for, when we have made our requests known to God, if we have not that we pray for presently, yet we shall have the peace of God, that passeth all understanding, shall keep our hearts and minds; therefore when any thing troubles us, let us consider there is peace made between God and us; and put up our requests in the Name of Christ, and we shall find that peace that passeth understanding.
