with detefiation
:
Now the
condition
ofthe
Saints
is
fuch
that they
mull
expea
to
be
re-
viled
in
the
world, and to be reviled
and
reproached,
and
that
we
lhewed
you
from
Scripture
;
and
for
example,
we fhall
re-
ferre to the
latter
end
of
it
;
For
fo perfectrred

Pro-
phets.
The
ufe
of reviling
:1.gave
the
lift
day
;.the
hatred and
malice
that there
i4
the hearts of
men,
all ungodly
men
hate
the Saints,
but yet all cannot
perfecute them, but every one
may
revile
them,
they
have
the liberty of the tongue to
fpeak
of
them
as
they will, though not
to perfecute them
;
and
the
Devitt
knows
that reviling
it
is a
powerfull
way
to
prevaile
to
weary
them in their profelfion;
your fpirits cannot beare
re-
viling,
it i
a
fore and heavy
al
icîion unto
many,
and
hard
to
beare,
and
he feeth
that
many
times
when
he
cannot
prevaile
by
perfecution, that he doth prevaile
by
reviling;
;
reviling
is
a
fore
evill,
and
doth
goe very
deep
into
the
fpirits of men.
Many ufes
were made
of
the
poynt
in
generali,
as when
men
take up
their
profelfion
of
Religton,at
rardl,
let
them make
ac-
count
of
reviling,account
of
all ill
language;it
may be
parents,
kindred, friends,
acquaintance, Mailers
and all will
revile you,
and
will
have names
to revile
you by,and make
account of
this
before
;
and then,
fecondly
,
labour
to
be
carefuil in your con-
verfation, men will
revile
you
doe
what you
éan,but;let
them
not
find
any
thing
in you
,
whereby
they
May
revile
you.
Thirdly,
let
not
Saints
revile
one another
,
for
it
is
very
fad fo
to
doe, it
is
that, that the
Pfalmift complained
of in the
3
r
Pfalme,
it
is
in
the
II
verfe,
I
was
a
reproach among
all
mine
enemies,but
efpecially
among my
Neighbours,and a
feare
to
mine
acquaintance, -they
that
did
fee
me
without, fled from
me.
He
makes
a
complaint of
the
reproach
of his
enemies,
but
efpeci-
ally
amongft his
Neighbours
that
was
fore
to
him
,
it
was
not
io
much
for
the
Saints
to fuser
reviling
languages by
l';
l.ices,..
aA
to
fuller one from

this
is
exceedingfad
;
