And then the promises they do settle the soul: because they be Yea, 1and Amen; they make the soul quiet. If a man believe an honest man on his word, he will be quiet; if he be not quiet he doth not believe: so much faith, so much quiet; Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So much faith, so much peace, Philip. 4. In nothing be careful, but let your desires be known to God in prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving; and when you have done this, The peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall preserve your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. So where there is prayer, and thanksgiving, and doing of duty; The peace of God which passeth all understanding, will keep the mind in Christ: and where there is not quiet and peace to preserve the heart & mind, there is neglect of duty before, not committing our selves to Gods promises to build on them.
