though a man may have peace without grace, as in a time of desertion, or temptation, and a man may have peace without grace, as in a secure and unregenerate Condition; grace without peace is often found in a troubled conscience; and peace without grace is often found in a seared conscience, as grace without peace is very uncomfortable, so peace without grace is very unprofitable; like Rachel, beautiful, but barren: therefore the Apostles desires ye should have both Grace and Peace: we say, the Sun and Salt are the most useful creatures in the world; the one for shining, the other for seasoning. (My Brethren) grace and peace are the Christians Sun & Salt; grace is the light of their souls, and peace is the savour of their comforts; grace shines ⟨image 99⟩through all their faulties, and Peace seasons all their mercies. The blessings of God are become as twins, as Christ said of the Spouse, Cant. 4.2. She is like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which come up from the washing, whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them; grace and peace here are knit together by the spirit of God in a sacred knot not to be untied; as Castor and Pollux, when seen together, portend happiness to the Mariner: so when Grace and Peace are found in a soul together, they portend the highest security and blessing to the Believer; they are said in Scripture to be bound together; where God gives the one, he never denies the other: if he gives you the upper spring of Grace, he will give you the nether spring of Peace, for they go both together. If he gives you the Dew of Heaven, you need not question the fatness of the Earth: if his right hand be full of mercy, his left hand shall not be empty. Therefore grace and peace be with you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
