1The consideration of this might give us some hope that there will be a time wherein God will appear for his Saints. It is not probable that God will always suffer his Jewels to be trodden under feet in the world; that God will alway look upon such as are excellent on earth, and see them so abused in the world, & so contemptible as they are; surely this will not be always, God hath this time to make it manifest to the world, that they are the excellent of the earth. They are now Jewels, yet they are such as are ⟨p. 150⟩in the dirt, and so are despised & contemned: but there is a promise, that the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his Land. Zach. 9.16. As the stones of a Crown, God will lift them up and make them honourable.
