[ CLXI] The life of Faith, the happy life.

WHen Elisha demanded of the Shunamite,* 1.1 what he should do for her, or whe∣ther there were any thing to be spoken for her to the King, or the Captain of the Hoast,* 1.2 she answered, I dwell among my people; she lived in peace and quietnesse, she had no cause to make any complaint against any of her neighbours, she was not driven to make any suit to the King, or the Captain; she troubled not others, and others troubled not her: And this she accounted an happy life, and so it was. But what then is the happy estate and condition of the faithfull? surely a thousand times greater; they are at peace with Heaven and earth, with men and Angells, with themselves and all others, with life and death; there is nothing that is able to dismay them, nothing able to hurt them.
