— There is no Peace, saith my God to the wicked, Isa. 57.21.
1. They have no Peace with God: God is their enemy.
2. They have no Peace with Conscience: that is full of storms: as one said of Jonah, ubi peccatum, ibi procella: Where sin is, there is a storm. A sinful Conscience, is a stormy Conscience: though for the present it is quiet: yet it is like a Book bound up, wherein, if ever it be unclasped, if ever it be opened; nothing but hellish Tragedies will appear.
