To believe Christs Doctrines, to keep his Commandments, makes a man very ridiculous and absurd in the worlds account. You see what Paul said of the Apostles, who were the eminent stars in this Christian Heaven, They were the off-scouring of the world, and a spectacle to men and Angels, 1 Cor. 4.9. They were as contemptible, as the dirt under the feet. But as the stars in Heaven are of a glorious excellent nature, though they have those ugly names, of a Dog and a Bear: So the Apostles, and all true Christians are the seed of God, and shine as lights in a dark night, howsoever the dogs of the world do bark at them.
