2. It speaks their Peace with man: I know no reason why we should exclude civil peace out of Christ's wish; many, & many a promise and precept we have in the Word scattered here and there to this purpose,1 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lye down, and none shall make you afraid.—and thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field, and thou shalt know that thy Tabernacle shall be in peace, 2and seek the peace of the City—and pray unto the Lord for it, for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. And follow peace, and holiness, without which no man shall see God. Orbem pecatum was ever a clause in the prayers of the primitive Church,3 that the world might be quiet; I am sure it is Christ's command, if it be possible as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
