Secondly, The inward peace, the soul peace, the spiritual peace of a godly man is much more from the Lord, (John 14.27.) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, so give I unto you; as if Christ had said, I will not deal with you after the rate of the world, that is, either deceitfully and falsely, or rigorously and unjustly; I will not give you such measure as the world gives you, nor in such a manner; I give you my peace, therefore let not your hearts be troubled, neither be you afraid: what-ever outward trouble the world can give you, be not afraid of it before it cometh, nor troubled at it when 'tis come, I will give you inward peace in the midst of all your troubles.

And as this peace is at first from God the Father as the fountain of it, & from God the Son as the Purchaser of it, and from God the holy Ghost as the Speaker of it; so the continuing and renewing of this peace is from the same God. He establisheth and settleth the heart in that peace which he hath given, and he restoreth that peace when at any time we have lost it, and the heart is unsettled. David's soul being unquiet, and his peace ravelled after his sin, he addressed to God for the renewing of it, (
