'God's peace has an exquisite sweetness,' says Edwards.

'It is exquisitely sweet because it has so firm a foundation on the everlasting rock.

It is sweet also because it is so perfectly agreeable to reason.

It is sweet also because it riseth from holy and divine principles, which, as they are the virtue, so are they the proper happiness of man.

This peace is exquisitely sweet also because of the greatness of the good that the saints enjoy, being no other than the infinite bounty and fulness of that God who is the Fountain of all good.
