VII. EXHORTATION.
How contented should those be in every Condition, that are Reconciled. This Peace of God should bear Rule in their Hearts, and compose them under all Emergencies, Phil. 4.6, 7. We may despise the Promises of the World that allure us, and the Threatenings of the World that scare us. If this Peace guard our Souls, it will render us Happy, when the World thinks us Miserable. If you have not the Honour of the World, it will content us without it: Bear the Scorns and Reproaches of the World, with it.
