“_For the Ambassadors, that are met to treat for Peace at the City of Nimeguen, in the States’ dominions._ “Christ Jesus saith, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God,’ Matt. v. 9, so all Christian men are to forsake evil, and do good, to seek peace and follow it, if they will ‘love life, and see good days,’ 1 Pet. iii. 11. God hath called all true Christians unto peace, 1 Cor. vii., and therefore all Christians ought to follow this peace, which God calls them to. They should let the peace of God rule in all their hearts; which is above the peace of this world, that is so soon broken. For the apostle commands the Christians to let the peace of God rule in their hearts, to which all Christians should be subject. The practice of this should be among all that profess Christianity; and this peace is above that, which Christ takes from the earth, Rev. vi., which is the peace of the wicked. And the apostle saith to the Christians, ‘Be at peace among yourselves,’ 1 Thess. v. Now all Christians should obey this command, and be at peace among themselves; not in wars and strife. And further, the apostle exhorts the Christians to ‘keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.’ So this unity, this bond of peace, should be kept (and not be broken) by all that bear that noble name, Christian. They should keep the unity of the Spirit of Christ in the bond of the Prince of princes, King of kings, and Lord of lords’ peace, which is the duty of all true Christians to keep. Herein they may honour Christ, in bringing forth the fruits of peace, which are love and charity. For the apostle tells you, ‘The fruit of the good Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness,’ &c., Gal. v.
