If when God hath manifested himself to you; hath come and supped with you; hath given you the white stone of absolution, the Hidden Manna of comfort and consolation; those manifest experiments of his love: and yet you will join Issue with Satan, give way to doubts: No marvel if you disturb your peace; bring insufferable fears and disquiets upon your selves. And it were just with God, to leave you to the doubts and mis-givings of your own hearts; and never to give you a word of Peace more: but suffer you to bring your grey hairs with sorrow to the Grave; seeing nothing will satisfy you.

6. The Reason why Believers have no more Peace, is, Because they seek Peace no more in a way of believing. They seek it more in the Law, than in the Gospel: more in Sanctification than in Justification: more in the Precept than in the Promise: more in working, than in believing: more in their Obedience than in Christ.
