Secondly, Whereas a godly mans trouble may arise several ways, this peace 1hath a proper antidote and cure in all these respects, from what causes a godly mans disquietness and fears may arise, from the contrary will his peace. As for example, a godly man is very frequently disturbed, because of the sense of Gods anger for sin, because he is not reconciled, such and such iniquities have provoked God to hide his face, and this filleth him with all bitterness; he will not be called Naomi, but Marah; but when this peace of God possesseth the soul, then all these dark thoughts do presently fly away, as when the Sun ariseth, the night is dispelled. So that when thou thinkest of God, and art troubled; Thy meditation of him is not, as Davids, sweet, but bitter; this wholly ariseth from want of this peace, for that will confirm and settle the soul in all references to God, that will represent him to be a gracious reconciled Father.
