John Bunyan has couched his deepest instruction to you in that single sentence in which he says, 'Mr.God's-peace was not a native of the town.' John Bunyan has gathered up many gospel Scriptures into that single allegorical sentence.

He has made many old and familiar passages fresh and full of life again in that one metaphorical sentence.

It is the work of genius to set forth the wont and the well known in a clear, simple, and at the same time surprising, light like that.

There is a peace that is native and natural to the town of Mansoul, and to understand that peace, its nature, its grounds, its extent, and its range, is most important to the theologian and to the saint.

But to understand the peace of God, that supreme peace, the peace that passeth all understanding,--that is the highest triumph of the theologian and the highest wisdom of the saint.
