Inward Peace.

Many say they have no peace nor rest.
but 80 many crosses and trials, Affections
aud sorrows, that they know not how they
shall ever get through them. Now he
who in truth will percrivc-ond take no.
tice, perceiveth clearly that true peace
and rest lie not in outward things; for il
it were so, the Evil Spirit also would have
peace when things so according to his
will, which Is nowse the c.sc.
Therefore we must consider and see
what is that peace which Christ left to
his disciples when he said: my peace
| leave with you, my peace give unto
you"
Christ meant that inward peace which
can break through all assaults and cross
es ol oppression, suffering, misery aud
and what more there may be
Of the like, SO that man be joyful and pa
tient therein; aud what was bitter TO him
before, shall become sweet, aud his heart
shall remain unmoved under all changes,

Gods Goodness.

II is stated of certain King, that
fighting a desperate battle for tho recoy-
cry Of his daughter, injurously stolen
from him, found but i'll success, and the
day utterly against him; Ill, by the valor
of a strange prince, disguised in the habit
ofa mean soldier; (that pitied his loss,
and bore love TO his daghtcr,) he recoy-
cred both her and victory. Not long uf-
ter, this prince received some wrong in
the point Of honor, which he deseryedly
priced. He made his complaint to the
king, and desires justice; the forgetful
king puts him over TO u Judge, the prince
replies, "Know this, o king, when thou
vast lost, stood betwixt thee and dan-
ger, and did not b.. another save thee,
but saved thee myself; behold the scars
of those wounds | bore to free thee and
thy state from ruin inevitable, and now
my suit is bcfote thee, dost thou shuttle
me off TO another!" Such was our case;
Satan had stolen our dear daughter, our
soulj in vain we labored recovery, prin,
eipalities and powers were against us,
weakness and wretche3dess on.our side,
Christ the Son of God took pity on us,

peace, disguised himself in the habit of a
common soldier, putting on him the ike
ness of servant, undertook the war
against our two strong enemies, set him
self betwixt US ana death, bore the
wounds in his own person which should
have lighted upon Us. Now his glory is
in question, his honor much concerned In
the transaction Of these times.
We stand by, and behold it, he appeals
TO censure, remembers US Of the wounds
passions, sorrows he endured for us ; we
put off from one another, aud let the
cause OF him that saved us fall to the
ground. Who shall plead for our ingrat-
