Now this reproach of wicked men, it is a grievous persecution: as Ishmael persecuted Isaac in that manner, as it is Gal. 4. taken out of the 1story in Genesis. I will not enter into the common place of reproach; it is but taken by the by here.

Only by the way, let it be a support to us: if ⟨p. 217⟩we be reproachfully used in the world; let us not be much cast down: it is no credit for a man to do that that the Devil and his instruments do; nor it is no discredit for us to suffer that that David suffered. Let this satisfy thee, there is not the vilest man living but hath this weapon to serve the Devil with, a reproachful tongue: he that sits upon the Ale bench, that •akes in the Channel, the basest wretch in the world hath a tongue to serve the Devil with in reproaches. It is no credit for them to do that that the vilest person in the world can do; •and it is no shame for thee to suffer, that that the best man that ever lived did suffer. So much for that; mine enemies reproach me.
