5. It quite discourageth a broken-hearted sinner, taking away peace 1with God, the effect of justification, and glorying in tribulations. If you consider Chapt. 5. of Rom. you will find, that peace only comes this way, yea and to glory in tribulations; for, ver. 1. being justified by faith, we have peace with God. Alas, what patience, what repentance, what pains and religious duties can procure thee peace with God? Can that which would damn, save? Can that which would work woe in thee, comfort thee? Vae etiam laudabili vitae erit, saith Austin, as you heard; Woe to the most worthy life that is, if it should be judged strictly by God. And then mark the object of this peace, Peace with God. Take a Pharisee, take a moral or a formal man, he may have a great deal of peace, because of his duties and good heart; yet, this is not a peace with God: so also for glorying in tribulations, how can this be? If all a mans glory were for himself, would not every affliction rather break him, saying, This is the fruit of my sin?
