Reasons. 1 First, no man can soundly seek to reconcile man to God, or one man to another, or give direction for his neighbours welfare, unless he himself be reconciled to God, and peaceable towards men, and have Christian love in his heart; and those graces are never separated from holy comfort and gladness.

And in another place; The kingdom of God is not 1meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the holy Ghost.
