In peace, &c.
Christ brings peace with him, not the peace of the world but that peace which passeth all understanding, My peace I leave with you, John 14. 27. My peace remain with you, 1saith he.

Simeon was just, and feared▪ God in his life, and therefore he departed in peace: so mark the end of the just, and follow their steps, and you shall then depart in peace, like the Lamb upon the Cross.
