1. Live more in the exercise of grace;1 and and that is the ready way, not only to increase ⟨p. 138⟩grace, but to obtain the comfort of grace. It was the Apostolical salutation, Grace and Peace be multiplied. If grace be multiplied, (and that it will by the exercise of it) then peace will also be multiplied.2 The work of Righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of Righteousness, 3quietness and assurance for ever. Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them.
