Inward benefits proceeding from iustification, are those which are inward∣ly ••elt in the heart, and serue for the better assurance of iustification, and they [unspec I] are principally fiue. The ••irst is,* 1.1Peace and quietnes of conscience. As all men na∣turally in Adam are corrupt, so all men naturally haue corrupt and defiled consciences, accusing them and arraigning them before Gods iudgement for their sinnes: in such wise that euery suspition of death and feare of imminent daunger maketh a naturall man stand agast at his wits end, knowing not what to doe: e 1.2but by faith in Christ, the Christian is perswaded of remission of his sinnes, and so the disquietnes of his conscience is appeased, and he hath an in∣ward peace in all extremities, which can not be taken from him.
