Abstract
De pace conscientia (On peace of conscience) explores what a clear conscience is, peace of mind and its attributes, and how people may obtain it, not in the way of ordinary remedies, but through the Gospel.
A short discussion of peace follows (see Sermon 31, On peace with one's neighbors) for an extended presentation, with the Gospel to be preferred to worldly ways of seeking comfort.
