In your making your peace with God, observe this rule: To resolve with your own hearts, that you will never be at peace with your selves till you be at peace with God, that you will never have any peace in your own hearts, till you have gotten true peace with God. I do not say, that you should resolve never to have peace with others, but I say, resolve never to be at peace with your selves: and it is a good controversy when men are at contention with their evil hearts.
