That's the trial of grace when you find Jesus Christ in your hearts to be peace when the Assyrian shall come into the land. You may think you find peace in Christ when you have no outward troubles, but is Christ your peace when the Assyrian comes into the land, when the enemy comes? Suppose you should hear the enemy come marching to the City •• had taken ⟨p. 106⟩the works, and were plundering, what would be your peace? Jesus Christ would be peace to the soul when the enemy come into the City, and into your houses; If there be any of you that hath bin where the enemy hath come what hath bin the peace of your souls? That that's said of Christ may be applied to this grace of Contentment, when the Assyrian, the plunderers, the enemies, when any affliction; trouble, distress doth befall such a heart then this grace of Contentment brings peace to the soul; at that time brings peace to the soul when the Assyrian comes into the land: The grace of Contentment▪ it's an excellent grace there's much beauty much strength in it, there is a great deal of worth in this grace and therefore be in love with it,
