wrath shal befal us, not in any revenging way, as it doth befal wicked and ungodly men, but we shal Certainly be delivered from all the evil of it. When judgments are sent from heaven abroad into the world, there is a pro∣tection unto al those that are Reconciled unto God, though there be darkness every where else, yet there is light in their hearts, they are alwaies in Goshan, though God be never so terrible in his judgments unto others, yet this terror of God is taken from them. If you should hear the noise of Trumpets, and Drums, the neighing of Horses, the roaring of Cannons, and shooting of Muskets, and all the dreadful sound of warlike instru∣ments: peradventure at the first it may strike some feare and terror into you, but when you come to hear, that al comes from your friend, it takes away the terror of al these things. If a man comes to a house where there are a Company of fierce mastive Dogs that are barking as if they would come presenly and tear out his throat, he may happily be in some fear; but if the master of the house be his friend, and if he stand by, he need not then fear that any hurt shal come to him by them. It is true indeed, if he be an enemy, or if he be a Thief, that comes to steal, and destroy he may fear these mastives. So, the Troubles of the world, may come with open mouth, as if they would devour us, but if we be Gods friends, if he stand by, we need not fear what they can do to us, for we have a quie∣tus est, we have a protection from God from all the evils that are in the world. Though the devouring Angel shal come to destroy, yet (if the blood of Christ who is our Peace be sprinkled upon the posts of the doors of our hearts) this Angel shall pass away from us. This is ano∣ther fruit of our Peace with God; namely, protection from the wrath of God when it spreads abroad as Light∣ning in the world.
