For observe,1 Though Leagues and peace made with such as have been enemies are matter of rejoicing, 2but they may likewise be such as we may have little cause to rejoice in; they have the names of peace and union a while, but suddenly they may change their names, and be called a massacre, and ruin, and destruction to a Nation, especially if the foundation of our peace be not laid in reformation; and still a people goes a whoring from their God, rejoice in no peace that you can make with any whatsoever so long as you go a whoring from the Lord.3
