2, The people of God have inward spiritual comfort in a way of believing in the righteousness of Christ? it is very true, that many men that do not profess the true religion, and many others that th• they do profess the true religion, yet do not in sincerity embrace it, have much inward comfort under an expectation of blessedness hereafter: but the people of God that do believe in Jesus Christ, have inward comfort in that way peculiar to themselves:
Which we may consider under these two heads of peace of conscience and communion with God.
1. The people of God in a way of believing, have peace of conscience: and this is not a particular privilege of some believers, but a blessing that all do in some degree partake of: those men that before their coming to Christ, were under the terrors of an evil conscience, conscience was terrifying of them, and binding them over to eternal judgement, do upon their closing with Christ, enjoy a tranquility of mind, and inward peace.
