All the Saints in former time were wondrous thankful for that they had: for what can a traveller look for but discourtesies, and hard usage? and if he find any thing better he ⟨p. 303⟩will be thankful: certainly it is more then I •ooked for, saith he. When a man is bent toward heaven, he cannot but look for hard •sage from the world. We see when Christ did but look toward Jerusalem, the Samaritans •ad enough, they began to malign him, why? his face was toward Jerusalem. So when base worldlings see that a man will to heaven, and leave their company, and courses, they cannot digest this. A man of an ill conscience when he sees another oppose that course that he resolved to stick to, he sees he confutes his course, he sees his face is toward heaven, and therefore labours to disgrace him. As the wench said to Peter, Thou speakest as one of Galilee, thy speech bewrays thee. So when a man is going toward heaven, every base person, the veriest rascal of all, hath pride enough to scorn Religion: So we see they make not much of the world, nor the world of them, therefore they are contented, and thankful if they find better: for what can a stranger look for but strange usage in a strange place.
All the Saints in former time were wondrous thankfull for that they had: for what can a travailer look for but discourtesies, and hard usage? and if he find any thing better he ⟨p. 303⟩will be thankfull: certainely it is more then I •ooked for, saith he. When a man is bent toward heaven, hee cannot but looke for hard •sage from the world. We see when Christ did but look toward Ierusalem, the Samaritans •ad enough, they began to maligne him, why? his face was toward Ierusalem. So when base worldlings see that a man will to heaven, and leave their company, and courses, they cannot digest this. A man of an ill conscience when hee sees another oppose that course that he resolved to sticke to, he sees he confutes his course, he sees his face is toward heaven, and therfore labours to disgrace him. As the wench said to Peter, Thou speakest as one of Galile, thy speech bewrayes thee. So when a man is going toward heaven, every base person, the veriest rascall of all, hath pride enough to scorne Religion: So wee see they make not much of the world, nor the world of them, therfore they are contented, and thankfull if they find better: for what can a stranger looke for but strange usage in a strange place.
