4 Good report:u all those Saints through faith obtained a good Report. They say, Non patitur ludum Fama, Fides, Oculus: A mans credit, Faith, and his Eye, endure no just. Yet let thy faith be sound; and though injury wound thy eye, ignominy thy fame, yet thy faith shall make all whole. That mans righteousness, through all clouds, shall break forth as the Sun, and his integrity shine like the noon-day. All unjust aspersions are but as rubbish; they may seem to fully him for a while, that he may shine bright for ever. Frustrà condemnatur in terris, qui commendatur in coelis: How little is that man hurt, whom malice condemns on earth, and God commends in heaven! Let the world accuse us, so long as our God doth acquit us.x I suffer these things, and am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed. yFor not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. Let God justify, and let all the friends on earth or in hell accuse.
