1. There is an External Peace, and that is either 1. Economical, Peace in a Family. 2. Political, Peace in the State. Peace is the Nurse of Plenty, Psal. 147.14. He maketh Peace in thy Borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the Wheat. How pleasant is it when the Waters of Blood begin to assuage, and we can see the Windows of our Ark open, and the Dove returning with an Olive-branch of Peace? 3.

Peace Ecclesiastical stands in opposition to Schism and Persecution.
