Notwithstanding, because a godly man cannot obtain peace with the wicked upon any condition, but in flattering them in their bad courses: therefore the Apostle adds immediately after, that we must join peace with holiness: as if he recommended peace unto us under this exception, That we take heed the friendship of the wicked do not pollute nor defile us. For this word holiness, is properly referred to God. 1Wherefore though the whole world should be on a flame with wars and contentions, yet must not we leave holiness, which is the band of our conjunction we have with God. To be short, let us keep peace with men, yet so as we hurt not our conscience. He saith, that without holiness none can see the Lord: because we shall never behold God with other eyes, than with those which shall be reformed according to his image.

He saith, that without holines none can see the Lord: because wee shall neuer behold God with other eyes, than with those which shall be reformed according to his image.
