Philippians4:7

Verſe 7. Shall keep your hearts] Keep as with a guard, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. or as in a gar[illegible: 1 letter]ſon. Solomons bed was not ſo well guarded with his threeſcore valiant men, all holding ſwords, Cant. 3.7.8. as each good Chriſtian is by the power of God without him, and the peace, of God within him: This peace, like Davids harp, drives away the evil ſpirit of cares and fears: It ſoon huſheth all God can ſoon raiſe up in his, an army of powerfull thoughts and meditations, ſo as their very inward tranquillity ariſing from the teſtimony of a good conſcience (called here, Their mindes) and the ſweet Sabbath of ſpirit the compoſedneſſe of their affections (called here, Their hearts) can make and keep them ſecure and ſound, yea bring aid when they are cloſe beſieged by ſin and Satan.
