a HOLY LIFE. 45 



III. By Quiet is underftood immunity 

 from Troubles, and moleftations proceed- 

 ing from Enmity, Contentions, Law-fuits, 

 Immoderate Care and Anxiety about world- 

 ly things ; Obedience to the Law of God 

 doth in a great meafure fecure us from 

 thefe : That commands us to love even our 

 Enemies. Now who can be fo barbarous 

 and inhumane as to injure them that truly 

 love him, and feek his good? Moreover 

 the Scripture tells us, That when a warts 

 'ways fleafe the Lord, he maketh even his 

 enemies to be at peace with him, Pro v. 16.7. 

 And the Apoflle puts the Queition, Who is 

 he that will harm you, if ye be followers 

 of that which is good? i Pet. 3.13. As for 

 Contentions and Law-fuits, another Apo- 

 ftle advifeth us rather to fuffer wrong than 

 moleft our felves and brethren with them. 

 And for care and anxiety about worldly 

 things, which is indeed a very tormenting 

 Paffion, we are forbidden it often in Scrip- 

 ture : And our Saviour, Matth. 6. xy, &c. 

 produceth many Arguments or Confidera- 

 tions to arm us againil it.
