2. But first we will shew those places in which it is declared, that the divine law is seated in right reason. Psalm xxxvii. 30, 31: _The mouth of the righteous will be exercised in wisdom, and his tongue will be talking of judgment: the law of God is in his heart._ Jeremiah xxx. 33: _I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts._ Psalm xix. 7: _The law of the Lord is an undefiled law, converting the soul._ Verse 8: _The commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes._ Deuteron. xxx. 11: _This commandment, which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off, &c._ Verse. 14: _But the word is very nigh unto thee in my mouth, and in thine heart, that thou mayest do it._ Psalm cxix. 34: _Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law._ Verse 105: _Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my paths._ Prov. ix. 10: _The knowledge of the holy is understanding._ Christ the law-giver, himself is called (John i. 1): _the word_. The same Christ is called (verse 9): _the true light, that lighteth every man that cometh in the world_. All which are descriptions of right reason, whose dictates, we have showed before, are the laws of nature. [Sidenote: Specially in regard of the fundamental law of nature in seeking of peace.] 3. But that that which we set down for the fundamental law of nature, namely, that peace was to be sought for, is also the sum of the Divine law, will be manifest by these places. Rom. iii. 17: _Righteousness_, which is the sum of the law, is called _the way of peace_. Psalm lxxxv. 10: _Righteousness and peace have kissed each other._ Matth. v. 9: _Blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of God._ And after St. Paul, in his sixth chapter to the Hebrews, and the last verse, had called Christ (the legislator of that law we treat of), _an High-priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec_: he adds in the following chapter, the first verse: _This Melchisedec was king of Salem, priest of the most high God_, &c. (Verse 2): _First being by interpretation king of righteousness, and after that also king of Salem, which is, king of peace_. Whence it is clear, that Christ, the King, in his kingdom placeth righteousness and peace together. Psalm xxxiv. 14: _Eschew evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it._ Isaiah ix. 6, 7: _Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace._ Isaiah lii. 7: _How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Sion, thy God reigneth!_ Luke ii. 14: In the nativity of Christ, the voice of them that praised God, saying, _Glory be to God on high, and in earth peace, good-will towards men._ And Isaiah liii.
