1. A double Blessing desired. 2. A double Spring discovered. 1. A double Blessing desired; and that is grace and peace. Grace is of all Blessings the richest, peace is of all comforts the sweetest; both these the Apostle begs for the Corinthians; and so do I for you. Beloved, Grace be unto you, and Peace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. 2. Here is a double Fountain discovered; and that is the Father and the Son, God and Christ. The Father is called the God of Grace: the Son is called the Prince of Peace; not that Grace is from the Father without Peace, not Peace from the Son without Grace, but both Grace and Peace ⟨image 97⟩are from God the Father, through the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Order of the words is worth nothing, Grace be to you and Peace; First grace, then peace, for there can be no peace without grace, nor grace, but there will be peace: but there can be no true peace but from God, not from God, but as he is a Father, not from God as a Father, but as our Father, and he cannot be said to be our Father, but through our Lord Jesus Christ: and therefore he said, Grace be unto you, and Peace from God our Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ: both are manifested as a golden Chain linked together, not grace without peace, nor peace without grace, but both enjoined together, to cram the believers Souls with grace and peace. Now from the Order of the Words, we might raise several Observations.
