1Therefore in our eclipses, and disgraces, let us all comfort our selves in this; Let the World esteem us for the present, as the refuse of the World, as persons not worthy to be acquainted ⟨p. 81⟩with, not worthy to be regarded; we shall be justified, and cleared, and glorified, especially at that day, when Christ shall come to be glorious in his Saints. There is a hidden life of the Church, and every Christian; they have a life in Christ, but that life is hid in Christ, 2in Heaven. As the Flowers in Winter, they have a life, but it is hidden in the root; When Christ shall appear, as blessed S. Paul and S. John say, then it shall appear who we are: Then our glorious life, that now is in our Head, shall appear; then we shall be justified to be so glorious, as the Scripture sets us forth to be; the Church shall be glorious within and without too, at that Day. Therefore, let us comfort our selves; this hidden life, though it appear not now, yet we shall be justified. And hence we may answer some objections likewise.
