Secondly, The Worlds peace is an outward peace, it is but skin deep, it wets the mouth, cannot wash the heart, Prov. 14.13. In laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of that mirth is heaviness. The worlds peace is but the shell of peace; their Conscience lowers, when their countenance laughs: but the peace that Christ gives, is an inward and spiritual peace, Psal. 4.7. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. Thou hast put gladness in my heart: Peace is that gladness, or peace smooths the brow, but this fills the breast, as the sinner hath trouble within, in the midst of all his peace without: In the world you shall have trouble, but in me you shall have peace.

Thirdly, The worlds peace has only a nether spring arising out of the Creature, out of worldly comforts, therefore it must needs be unclean; ⟨image 100⟩for an unclean fountain cannot bring forth clean water. But the peace of Christians has an upper spring, it flows from the manifestation of the love of God in Christ: it is from the sprinkling of Christs blood on the conscience, it flows upon the workings of Christs Spirit upon the Soul, which is first a Counsellor, then a Comforter. Oh how pure must this peace be in a believers soul, that flows from so pure a spring!
