“Love for our neighbor, humility, and meekness will beget peaceableness. Wherever
the first three are to be found, the last will also be found.

Peaceableness is a believer’s quiet and contented disposition of soul, inclining
him toward, and causing him to strive for, the maintaining of a relationship with
his neighbor characterized by sweet unity— doing so in the way of truth and godliness.”

–Wilhelmus à Brakel, _[The Christian’s Reasonable Service, Volume 4,](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1601781318?tag=toletaupanre-20)_
