The prophets and the psalmists of the Old Testament are all full of the peace that God gave to His people Israel.

My peace I give unto you, says our Lord also.

Paul also has taken up that peace that comes to us through the blood of Christ, and has made it his grand message to us and to all sinful and sin- disquieted men.

And John Bunyan has shown how sure and true a successor of the apostles of Christ he is, just in his portrait of this sweet-natured gentleman who was not a native of Mansoul, but who came from that same court from which Emmanuel Himself came.

And it is just this outlandishness of this sweet-natured gentleman; it is just this heavenly origin and divine extraction of his that makes him sometimes and in some things to surpass all earthly understanding.
