2 Tim. 3. 12. All that will live godly, must suffer persecution: First all] Every one must expect it, although 1it is true, God calls not all to the like sufferings, yet he exempts none from some degree or other, let him be as wise, and as discreet as he will, yet if godly, he shall not escape. Christ was the best Preacher that ever was, he lived the most inoffensively that ever any did, and yet while he was preaching, the Pharisees blew their noses at him in scorn and derision; 2for so the word signifies in the Original, Luke 16. 14. which is translated, derided him. And at another time they would have broke his neck, by casting him from a steep hill, after he had done his Sermon. Saint Paul the most famous Preacher next to Christ, that ever was, and yet he was accounted a babbler, a pestilent fellow, his Sermons were accounted factious and seditious.
