It grew maugre all the adverse blasts and floods, which the billows of earth, or bellows of Hell could blow or pour out against it. Let them loose a Barabbas from prison, whiles they shut a Barnabas in prison: let them give Demetrius liberty, whiles they shackle Paul; and at once, burn the professors, and reward the persecutors of the Word: behold (for all this) this Balm flourisheth, and sends forth his saving odours. The sPhilistines shut up Sampson in the City Gaza: they bar the gates, watch and guard the passages, and are ready to study for the manner of his death. The Jews shut up Christ in the grave, they bar it, they seal it, they guard it; sure enough thinks the Jew, hopes the Devil, to keep him fast. The Gentiles shut the Apostles in prison, chain them, beat them, threat them with worse, that had felt already their ⟨p. 275⟩bad usage: now they clap their hands at the presumed fall of the Gospel. Behold, Sampson carries away the gates of Gaza; Christ the bands of death; the Word the bars of the prison.
