In the sixth place, Fruitfulness in righteousness,§6 issuing out of moral principles, brings no true peace to the mind and conscience of a man, as appears in the young man that came to Christ, to ask, what he should do to be saved? He was very fruitful in righteousness from his own principles, as appears by his own language, yet very scrupulous, how it would go with him at the last; which shows, That the effect of his fruitfulness was not quietness, but unquietness; not confidence, but diffidence: But on the other side, fruitfulness, as a branch in the vine, brings sweet peace and rest to the mind, and conscience of a man, as appears, Isai. 32.17, There the Lord promises his People, That the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever. The more fruitful in righteousness a man is, as a branch in the vine, the more contentment and rest shall he have within himself.
