Tenthly, The Spirit of God 1and of glory doth rest upon you, 1 Peter 4. 14. Ye have the Spirit of God in you, what need you care what the world accounts of you? You have abundant treasure in your hearts, and you have an heroical or divine Spirit in you, And therefore why are ye troubled about such mean things? And your patience & their rage, is a sign you are in a happy condition, and have Gods Spirit; and the Spirit of God which is in you is a Spirit of Glory, and leads you to a better life. And therefore seeing you are but travellers here, why turn you again at the barking of every dog? Yea, these reproaches signify, that wicked men do s•e some glory of God shining in you, which ⟨p. 326⟩they strive by all means to vilify and despise, being vexed in their hearts at it.
