Whereas there is all solid peace comes in with ⟨p. 18⟩forgiveness; peace with God, Rom. 5. 1. He […] now reconciled, and the man may appeal t• him, and he will not be a consuming fire t• him; he hath now the free liberty of access to th• Throne of Grace with boldness, and to put up h• requests without terror. He hath peace at home in his own Conscience: The Wicked's Conscience is like a raging Sea, always tumbling and tossing but there is a calm and quiet in the Conscience of a pardoned one, Conscience is now his friend and ceaseth to accuse; and it puts a confidence […] him, 1 Pet. 3 20. Yea it testifieth for him, an• so gives him matter of rejoicing, 2 Cor. 1. 1• and he hath peace with the Creatures; they a• armed in Gods Controversy, and the condem• ed sinner may expect every one to be his Exec• tioner; but there is a league between this m• and the Creatures, Job 5. 23, 24.
