Peace is indeed a most lovely and desirable thing1; ⟨p. 55⟩we desire with our souls to live in peace. God himself knows, there is nothing that would be more acceptable to us, then to serve God & the King in ways of peace; God forbid but that we should in all our ways show our selves the children of peace. We could make large orations in commendation of peace, as well as others; yea in the midst of all the clatterings of our Arms, and sounds of war-like instruments, yet peace is in our eyes and hearts: As faithful Ministers in all the terrible threats they denounce in the name of God against impenitent sinners, seek the true peace of their souls: so the true soldier who is faithful to God and his Country, although he hath the sword in one hand, and fire in the other, yet it is with this Motto, Sic quaerimus pacem.
