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!

Fourthly, The worlds peace is a peace given to sinners, it is a peace in sin, and it is a peace with sin, as the Prophet Isaiah tell us, It is a Covenant with Hell, and an Agreement with Death (God delivers us from that peace.) Again, Christs peace is given to none but believers, it is their privilege only, a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy, Prov. 14.10. The heart knoweth his own bitterness, but a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
