The peace of Jerusalem a sermon preached in the Parliament House, Jan. 9, 1656

Joh. 4.11. But wheresoever God doth place his Candlestick, and give evidence of his presence, there every man ought to recount such mercies with thankfulness, and by prayer, and all real endeavours to labour ⟨p. 6⟩that the peace and happiness of the Church, the purity of heavenly Doctrine therein taught, and of spiritual Worship therein used, may be conserved and continued always.
