The Second Consequence
Secondly: A Second fruit that follows, is, Peace of Conscience, whereas before thy Conscience terrified thee, struck fear, and dread in thy heart, & continually accused thee before God, and was as Gods Officer to fill thy Soul with poisoned Arrows, and to rend and tear thee. But ⟨p. 27⟩now thou being at peace with God, thy Conscience is at peace too, Rom. 5.1. Being justified by faith we have peace with God through Jesus Christ; then follows those most sweet, and comfortable effects which we are afterwards to treat of: But this is the fruit of Reconciliation, Peace of Conscience, which is worth ten thousand worlds. For one to have his Conscience his enemy, to have his Conscience continually to terrify him, it is a greater judgment, than to have all the wild Beasts in the world, to come and tear and rent his flesh.
