Thirdly, do not complain of the worst condition that the providence of God shall cast you into; in this it may be you shall suffer hard things, but remember, so long as thy soul is secure, never complain of hard things. (My brethren) as God your Father brought you into a state of Grace and Peace, and thereby secured his love to your souls in Christ, can you complain of hard things? So let the joy of the Lord be your strength, Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice, Phil. 4.4.

The second Use is, to such as have neither Grace nor Peace: May not I say, I speak to many such? I would I might not. Are there not many that are without Grace, and therefore must needs be without peace? They may have the worlds peace, but they have none of this peace; let me beg of you to get out of this Graceless state. Oh that you would believe the words of a dying man, for so I am to you, and such words use to be remembered. Oh remember this as a testimony I leave with you, that love of Sin, and lack of Grace, will ruin and destroy every soul at last. But you will say, How shall I get a share in this Grace and Peace?
