"Confidence is the noblest exercise of faith, which looking steadily upon God in himself, and in Christ, through the promises, raises the soul above all fears and discouragements, above all doubts and disquietments (old English), either about the removing of evil, or the obtaining of good. Hence, confidence is well called the rest of the soul, therefore such as attain to confidence are said to be in peace, in perfect peace." ("Practical Observations On Job", by Joseph Caryl, 1644). See Isaiah 26:3.
