Quest. How Christ is to be followed as our Example? SERMON XIII.
1 Pet. 2.21. lat. part. Leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.
THE Persons to whom the Apostle wrote this Epistle; are in the beginning of it, styled Strangers. So they were, because dispersed and scattered in several Kingdoms of the Gentiles;1 and they were Pilgrims and Sojourners in the Earth it self; being regenerated and born from above; and minding a better Country; than was to be found here below. The Apostle endeavours to strengthen their Faith, to enliven their Hope, to fix their hearts upon the incorruptible and undefiled Inheritance: and to keep them in the way that leads to it.
