Thirdly, from example. Michael the Archangel, when he contended with the Devil, durst not ⟨p. 40⟩bring against him any railing accusation: Jude 9. The Apostle showeth their practice herein▪ being persecuted they suffer it: being reviled, they bless 1 Cor. 4.12. When Shimei cursed David, and called him a son of Belial, and a bloody man, he said: Let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto him, curse David, It may be the Lord will look upon my affliction, and the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day. Thus he bore it, though he continued cursing, and cast stones, and dust at him: 2. Sam. 16.8.10.11.12.13. But above all we should learn this of our Saviour Christ, In whom was found no guile, in his mouth, who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered, he threatened not, but committed him self to him, that judgeth righteously: 1. Pet. 2.23.
