This Exhortation should also perswade the real Possessors of Peace to make the best improvement thereof Such a blessed Thing should be made use of in every Relation in every Condition in every Occasion according to its worth Men improve their Lands and Estates their Trades and Offices to the best advantage with all diligence Is not this Peace of far greater moment in all Spiritual and Temporal respects Learn to be faithful Stewards of this choice mercy he entrusts you with whom he hath made the subjects of this Peace Keep the Kings Peace that it may keep you in every good thing Observe that Rule and Ground for that end of Peace before signified that the blessed effects of the same may orderly follow Improve with thankfulness and fidelity that Blessed Portion afforded you fcom heaven Beware of every thing that threatens a breach between God and you Keep this Jewel with all watchfulness and industrious care Make much of that which cost Christ so dear Be sure to keep close to the divine Author of your blessed Peace in the due review of its Nature and Adjuncts Peace with God well kept will be of special help to the preserving of Peace in your conscience and both will further your Peace with others too in all the means tending thereto Sin and Satan will be still striving to endanger and disturb the same Keep your eye and heart stedfast on your God in keeping your hand steady on his Work He hath promised to keep in perfect Peace such who thus faithfully rely and trust in him Believe and pray resolve and labour for Peace in all his waies so will the God of Peace give you Peace alwaies and by all means according to his Word The very God of Peace will throughly sanctifie you in soul body and spirit and his Peace shall keep you as with a garrison against all enemies internal and external You must still be receiving help from God that you may still be helpful unto others So shall you be blessed Peace-makers which is the next thing to be considered Propos 2. Peace-makers are blessed Persons This is Christs assertion plainly expressed the sense and truth whereof being made out and made good good Application will be made thereof 1. The sense and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is wrapped up in the words sufficiently cleared when we have but opened how this Peace-making is to be understood The Greek expression 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 imports a kind of humane efficiency variously expressed in Scripture dialect God makes Peace as the supreme Agent man as a subordinate Instrument under him God works it as the Primary cause man as a Secundary acted by him in every motion God effects it by over-ruling the minds and hearts of men Man by directing and perswading in offering Reasons and Motives suited to such minds and hearts God can do it without means at his Will but usually by Blessing the means appointed by him Man by the diligent improving of those means whereon the Lord hath promised his Blessing According to the nature of the Peace such is mans way of working towards it 1. With respect to eternal Peace with God Man is said to make his Peace when he follows the Lords directions in order thereto through the efficacious help of Christs renewing Spirit closing with Christ by a lively faith upon Gospel terms receiving of him cleaving to him resting on him and surrendring up himself to him according to the conjugal Articles of his gracious Covenant Thus whilest a man is exercising Faith and Repentance in an obediential love that he may through the Spirit die unto sin and live unto God in Christ he is said to make his Peace with God 2.

In relation to external Peace both Civil and Ecclesiastical Man is then a Peace-maker when he is carefully diligent to attend and improve the multiplicious means appointed of God thereto according to the variations of his proper state and opportunities through the supplies of the Spirit of Jesus Christ This Peace-making then is a multiplicious Act of the whole man flowing from a gracious principle within whereby all the powers and parts of soul and body are s●t on work to promote this Blessed Peace with all possible diligence and care though such cannot alwaies effectually produce what they sincerely and faithfully labour for Such Peace makers are blessed Persons 2. The Truth of this Proposition in the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of it that it is so appears sufficiently from the Word and Providence of God made out to man in all successive Generations The God of Peace by his manifold precepts and promises prefigurations and prophesies doth largely make out the Duty and Dignity of his Peace-makers The friends of God were
